Funding is allocated from TDA Article 4.5 and Alameda <br /> County Measure B (dedicated sales tax) funds. Eligible agencies are required to file <br /> annual applications for allocation with the MTC and the Alameda County Transportation <br /> Improvement Authority (ACTIA). For FY 11, the City's projected allocation is $112,673 <br /> ($43,552 TDA; $69,121 Measure B). These funds will be used to offset the proposed <br /> FY 11 Paratransit Door -to -Door (DTD) Service budget of $531,167. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Director of Parks and <br /> Community Services to submit an application for the FY 11 Transportation Development <br /> Act (TDA) Article 4.5 funds from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and <br /> Alameda County Measure B Funds from the Alameda County Transportation <br /> Improvement Authority (ACTIA). <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> Should the City receive both TDA Article 4.5 ($43,552) and Measure B funds ($69,121) <br /> for FY 11, it would reduce the City's contribution from the General Fund to the <br /> Paratransit Door -to -Door budget by $112,673, thus resulting in a 21% savings in the <br /> City's General Fund. The City's total contribution from the General Fund for the <br /> Paratransist Door -to -Door program in FY 11 would be $376,494. <br />
