ATTACHMENT 8 Alameda CTC Transit Center Development Program Implementation Guidelines Alameda County Transportation Commission Implementation Guidelines for the Transit Center Development Program Funded through Measure B (Adopted December 16, 2011) Section 1. Purpose A. To delineate eligible uses of Transit Center Development 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 Measure B 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 Transit Center Development funds eligible uses and expenditures. 2. Define the terms in the Master Program Funding Agreements. 3. Guide Transit Center Development 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 Transit Center Development 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 Transit Center Development funds to clarify eligible fund uses and expenditures in association with new, 10-year Master Program Funding Agreements for the November 2000 voter-approved Measure B pass-through funds. The Expenditure Plan allocates 0.19 percent of Measure B funds for Transit Center Development programs and projects. The original program funding agreements for Measure B pass-through funds expired in spring 2012, and Alameda CTC put in place new Master Program Funding Agreements to continue fund allocations for the remaining term of Measure B funds allocations through June 2022. These Implementation Guidelines define the eligible uses and allocation process for the Measure B Transit Center Development 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,
