Direct Local Distribution Funds: Funds are allocated based upon a funding formula(such as population, <br /> registered vehicles,roadmiles,or a combination thereof)defined in a voter approved measure and provided <br /> to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly schedule basis (such as a regular monthly payment). <br /> R. Planning:Identification of project and program current conditions and needs and development of <br /> strategies and plans to address the identified needs. <br /> S. Project Completion/Closeout:Inspection/project acceptance,final invoicing,final reporting,and <br /> processes for closing out project. <br /> T. Scoping and Project Feasibility:Early capital project phases that identify project needs,costs and <br /> implementation feasibility. <br /> U. Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF):Measure F,Alameda County's VRF Program,approved by the voters in <br /> November 2010 with 63 percent of the vote. It will generate approximately$12 million per year through a <br /> $10 per year vehicle registration fee.Administered by the Alameda CTC,the VRF funds four main types of <br /> programs (with the funding distribution noted in parenthesis):local streets and roads (60 percent);transit <br /> (25 percent);local transportation technology(10 percent);and bicycle and pedestrian projects (5 percent). <br /> Section 5.Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Fund Allocations <br /> A. These implementation Guidelines provide guidance on two types of Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety <br /> allocation processes for Measure B and Measure BB funds: 1) Direct Local Distribution funds and <br /> grants. <br /> 1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Direct Local Distribution(DLD) Funds <br /> a. General:The Bicycle and Pedestrian DLD Funds are distributed to cities in the county <br /> and to Alameda County to be spent on planning and construction of bicycle and <br /> pedestrian projects,and the development and implementation of bicycle and <br /> pedestrian programs.These funds are intended to expand and enhance bicycle and <br /> pedestrian facilities in Alameda County,focusing on high priority projects like gap <br /> closures and intermodal connections. <br /> For Measure B,the DLD funds constitute seventy-five percent of the total Measure B <br /> bicycle/pedestrian funds.For Measure BB,three percent of total net Measure BB <br /> revenues are identified for the Measure BB bicycle/pedestrian DLD program. Each <br /> city and Alameda County will receive their proportional share of the DLD based on <br /> population over the life of the Measure (which share shall be adjusted annually as <br /> described in the Master Programs Funding Agreement).These funds are allocated on <br /> a monthly basis directly to each city and the County. <br /> b. Eligible Uses:The Measure B and Measure BB Bicycle/Pedestrian DLD funds may be <br /> used for capital projects,programs,or plans that directly address bicycle and <br /> pedestrian access,convenience,safety,and usage. Eligible uses for these funds <br /> include,but are not necessarily limited to: <br /> 1) Capital Projects,including: <br /> a. New pedestrian facilities (e.g. sidewalks,curb ramps,countdown <br /> signals,accessible signals) <br /> b. Improvements to existing pedestrian facilities <br /> Bicycle/Pedestrian-3 <br />
