Alameda CTC Mass Transit Program Implementation Guidelines
<br /> D. Cost Allocation Plans(CAPs): CAPs and indirect cost(IDC)rate proposals are plans that provide a
<br /> systematic manner to identify,accumulate,and distribute allowable direct and indirect costs to Mass
<br /> Transit programs funded through the Alameda CTC Master Programs Funding Agreements.
<br /> E. 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,
<br /> and benefits) that are directly and solely related to the implementation of Alameda CTC-funded Mass
<br /> Transit projects,consultants,and materials.These funds may be used for travel or training if they are
<br /> directly related to the implementation of the Mass Transit funds.
<br /> F. Direct Local Distribution funds:Funds allocated based on a funding formula(such as population,
<br /> registered vehicles,roadmiles,or a combination thereof)defined in a voter-approved measure and
<br /> provided to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly scheduled basis (such as a regular monthly payment).
