Transportation Expenditure Plan Investment Details <br /> The following is the brief description of each of the investment categories by mode, <br /> including a breakdown of the proposed distribution within each category. <br /> Transit and Specialized Transit (48%) <br /> A total of 48% of net revenue from this tax will be dedicated to public transit systems for <br /> operations, maintenance and capital projects. The investments identified for public <br /> transit in this plan were guided by the principles of enhancing safety, convenience and <br /> reliability to maximize the number of people who can use the transit system. By <br /> doubling the amount of local sales tax funds available to transit operations and <br /> maintenance, this plan represents a major investment in Alameda County's transit <br /> system to increase transit services and expand access to transit throughout the county, <br /> and to help avoid further service cuts while preserving the affordability of transit. <br /> Funds for operations and maintenance will be provided to bus transit operators in the <br /> county (AC Transit, Union City Transit and Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority) <br /> as well as to ferries and the ACE commuter rail system. In addition, these funds will <br /> substantially increase Alameda County's commitment to the growing transportation <br /> needs of older adults and persons with disabilities, essentially doubling the funds <br /> available for targeted services for this important group. Funds are also committed to <br /> support transportation access to schools. <br /> Major capital investments include upgrades to the existing BART system and a BART <br /> extension in the eastern part of the County, adding bus rapid transit routes to improve <br /> the efficiency of transit, and providing funding for rail transit investments such as the <br /> Capital Corridor rail and improvements across the Dumbarton Bridge. The following are <br /> the proposed funding details for this program: <br /> Transit & Specialized Transit (48%) $3,732 millions <br /> Mass Transit: Operations, Access to Schools, $1,857 M <br /> Maintenance, and Safety Program <br /> Specialized Transit For Seniors and Persons with $774 M <br /> Disabilities <br /> Bus Transit Efficiency and Priority $35 M <br /> BART System Modernization and Expansion $710 M <br /> Regional Rail Enhancements and High Speed $355 M <br /> Rail Connections <br />
