"welfare to work" funds can be used by AC Transit for service restoration and expansion or implementation of improved bus service to facilitate travel to and from work. AC Transit will prioritize the restoration and development of new services to meet the employment-related transit needs of low-income residents in northern and central Alameda County. Additionally, these funds may be used, at the determination of AC Transit, to provide subsidies of regular bus fares for individuals living in northern and central Alameda County who are transferring from welfare to work as well as those who are economically disadvantaged. In the event that sufficient funds are otherwise available to AC Transit to meet these needs then "welfare to work" funds can be used for other general passenger service purposes in northern and central Alameda County. AC Transit will work together with and actively seek input from bus riders, business leaders, mayors and other elected officials in San Leandro, Hayward, and the unincorporated areas in Central Alameda County to ensure that the additional transit funds in Central County are used for bus improvements such as night, weekend, and more frequent service, connections to residential growth areas, and access to major employment centers, including enhancement of east-west corridors. AC Transit will continue to provide transit service similar to the Department of Labor-funded shuttle to and from job sites in East and Wcst Oakland, as needed. AC Transit, the County, the City of Oakland, the Port of Oakland and other entities will look for additional money from outside sources to fund the service. If needed, a portion of the proceeds from the reauthorization of Measure B may be used. Refer to Mass Transit Program Implementation Guidelines for program and project eligibility fund usage, and requirements.
