ATTACHMENT 7 Alameda CTC Local Transportation Technology Program Implementation Guidelines Alameda County Transportation Commission Implementation Guidelines for the Local Transportation Technology Program Funded through Vehicle Registration Fees (Adopted December 16, 2011) Section 1. Purpose A. To delineate eligible uses of Local Transportation Technology funds authorized under Alameda County Transportation Commission Master Program Funding Agreements, these implementation guidelines have been developed to specify the requirements that local jurisdictions must follow in their use of Vehicle Registration Fees (VRF) discretionary funds. These guidelines are incorporated by reference in the Master Program Funding Agreements. All other terms and conditions for programs are contained in the agreements themselves. The intent of the implementation guidelines is to: 1. Provide guidance on Local Transportation Technology funds eligible uses and expenditures. 2. Define the terms in the Master Program Funding Agreements. 3. Guide Local Transportation Technology Program implementation. Section 2. Authority A. These Implementation Guidelines have been adopted by the Alameda County Transportation Commission and set forth eligible uses and expenditures for the Local Transportation Technology funds. The Alameda CTC may update these guidelines on an as-needed basis and will do so with involvement of its technical and community advisory committees (as applicable). Exceptions to these guidelines must be requested in writing and be approved by the Alameda CTC Board. Section 3. Background A. Alameda CTC developed Implementation Guidelines for the Local Transportation Technology funds to clarify eligible fund uses and expenditures in association with new, 10-year Master Program Funding Agreements with local jurisdictions and Alameda County that include a new local, voter-approved revenue stream, the Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), which will provide approximately$11 million per year for transportation improvements throughout the County. The VRF includes 10 percent of net revenues for a Local Transportation Technology Program. These Implementation Guidelines define the eligible uses and allocation process for the VRF Local Transportation Technology funds and reflect new policies approved by the Alameda CTC. Section 4. Definition of Terms A. Alameda CTC: The Alameda County Transportation Commission is a Joint Powers Authority created by the merger of the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, which performed long-range planning and funding for countywide transportation projects
