Alameda CTC Paratransit Program Implementation Guidelines <br /> 2) Direct staff and consultant costs to provide customer service and <br /> outreach for paratransit projects and programs <br /> 3) Direct staff and consultant costs that support eligible activities, <br /> including the end-of-year compliance report <br /> 4) Direct staff training costs directly related to implementation of <br /> projects or programs implemented with the Paratransit Funds <br /> c. Ineligible Uses: The following is a list of ineligible uses of Measure B <br /> Paratransit pass-through funds: <br /> 1) Non-transportation projects or services such as fees charged to <br /> capital construction projects for services or amenities not related to <br /> transportation <br /> 2) Capital projects, programs, maintenance, or operations that do not <br /> directly improve paratransit services <br /> 3) Projects or programs that exclusively serve city/county staff <br /> 4) Indirect costs, unless the RECIPIENT submits all independently <br /> audited/approved Indirect Cost Allocation Plan. <br /> 2. Measure B Paratransit Gap Grant Program Funds <br /> a. The Measure B Expenditure Plan dedicates 1.43 percent of the funds for <br /> gaps in services to be recommended by PAPCO to reduce differences that <br /> might occur based on the geographic residence of any individual needing <br /> services. The Alameda CTC will administer a Measure B Paratransit Gap <br /> Grant discretionary grant program. <br /> b. The Alameda CTC will adopt Grant Program Guidelines before each grant <br /> cycle that will establish the guiding policies for that grant cycle, and will <br /> widely publicize each grant funding cycle. <br /> c. Gap funds provide Alameda County with the opportunity to be innovative <br /> and explore alternative service delivery mechanisms in the face of a senior <br /> and disability population expected to grow substantially over the next <br /> 20 years. The population of people likely to need paratransit service is <br /> expected to outpace the growth in sales tax revenues that fund paratransit <br /> programs in Alameda County, including city-based programs and ADA- <br /> mandated services. Gap funds provide an opportunity to minimize the <br /> differences in service experienced by consumers based on their geographic <br /> location. <br /> Section 6.
