BACKGROUND <br /> The Transportation Development Act is a state of California law that provides funding <br /> through state sales tax for projects that comply with regional transportation plans. <br /> Article 3 of the TDA provides funding for bicycle and pedestrian related projects. The <br /> Metropolitan Transportation Commission oversees the allocation of these funds, based <br /> on population, within the nine county MTC region. MTC makes annual distributions of <br /> TDA Article 3 funds to eligible claimants after review of applications submitted. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Eligible project types for these funds include: the construction and/or engineering of <br /> capital projects that would maintain bikeways closed to motorized traffic; bicycle safety <br /> education programs; development of bicycle or pedestrian facilities; restriping of bike <br /> lanes; and many other pedestrian and bicycle related construction projects. <br /> The City of Pleasanton Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee recommends that an <br /> application be submitted for the installation and/or improvements of bicycle lanes at the <br /> 1-580 overcrossings between the cities of Pleasanton and Dublin. <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing an <br /> application for TDA Article 3 funds. <br /> Submitted by: Fisc Review: Approve by: <br /> 4-114. 71,„"/N- <br /> Stephen ' patrick Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Acting Director of Finance Director City Manager <br /> Community Development <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
