Alameda CTC Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program Implementation Guidelines
<br /> "(A) Commencing January 1,2011,upon any substantial revision of the circulation element,the
<br /> legislative body shall modify the circulation element to plan for a balanced,multimodal transportation
<br /> network that meets the needs of all users of the streets,roads,and highways for safe and convenient
<br /> travel in a manner that is suitable to the rural,suburban,or urban context of the general plan.
<br /> (B) For the purposes of this paragraph,"users of streets,roads,and highways"means bicyclists,
<br /> children,persons with disabilities,motorists,movers of commercial goods,pedestrians,users of public
<br /> transportation,and seniors."
<br /> E. Construction: Construction of a new capital project,including development of preliminary engineering
<br /> and construction documents,including plans,specifications,and estimates.
<br /> F. Cost Allocation Plans(CAPs): CAPs and Indirect cost rate proposals (IDCs)are plans that provide a
<br /> systematic manner to identify,accumulate,and distribute allowable direct and indirect costs to Bicycle and
<br /> Pedestrian Safety programs funded through the Alameda CTC Master Programs Funding Agreements.
<br /> G. Direct cost:A cost completely attributed to the provision of a service,operations,a program,a capital
<br /> cost,or a product.These costs include documented hourly project staff labor charges (salaries,wages and
<br /> benefits)which are directly and solely related to the implementation of the Alameda CTC-funded Bicycle
<br /> and Pedestrian Safety Funds,consultants,and materials.These funds may be used for travel or training if
<br /> they are directly related to the implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Funds.
<br /> H. Direct Local Distribution Funds:Funds are allocated based upon a funding formula(such as
<br /> population,registered vehicles,roadmiles,or a combination thereof) defined in a voter approved measure
<br /> and provided to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly schedule basis (such as a regular monthly payment).
<br /> I. Environmental Documents: Preparation of environmental documents,such as those related to the
<br /> California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA),or
<br /> permits required by state or federal permitting agencies.
<br /> J. Grants:Funding for plans,programs or projects based upon a competitive call for projects,an evaluation
<br /> process based on adopted evaluation criteria and allocated based upon a reimbursement basis.
<br /> K. Indirect cost:Also known as"overhead,"any cost of doing business other than direct costs.These costs
<br /> include utilities,rent,administrative staff,officer's salaries,accounting department costs and personnel
<br /> department costs,which are requisite for general operation of the organization,but are not directly
<br /> allocable to a particular service or product.
<br /> L. Local Bicycle Master Plan/Local Pedestrian Master Plans:Locally adopted plans that,at a minimum,
<br /> examine existing conditions for walking and/or bicycling,and provide recommendations on improving the
<br /> walking and/or bicycling environment,and prioritize these improvements.These plans may be stand-alone
<br /> bicycle and pedestrian plans or may be a joint plan that addresses both walking and bicycling.
<br /> M. Maintenance:Repairs,renovation,or upgrade of existing facility or infrastructure.
<br /> N. Measure B:Alameda County's half-cent transportation sales tax,originally approved in 1986,then
