STAFF REPORT TO: Finance and Audit Committee AC Transit Board of Directors
Report No: 13-113 Meeting Date: April 24, 2013 Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District STAFF REPORT TO: Finance and Audit Committee AC Transit Board of Directors FROM: David J. Armijo, General Manager SUBJECT: FY 2013-14 Transportation Fund for Clean Air Program Funds ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Consider ratifying a grant application submission to Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC} for FY 2013-14 Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Program funds. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: ACTC announced a call for projects for FY 2013-14 TFCA program funding for projects that result in the reduction of motor vehicle emissions within the Air District's jurisdiction in addition to meeting other program requirements. The applications were due by April 5, 2013 and the staff has submitted an application under the Clean Fuel Vehicle category for complete electrification of the gasoline hybrid bus. Due to a tight timeline, this is the first opportunity to inform the Board of this application. Should this project be approved for funding by ACTC, the staff will return for Board approval to enter into a funding agreement and execute necessary paperwork. BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT: Staff has applied for up to $387,276 in FY 2013-14 TFCA funds. If awarded, approximately $97,000 in District capital funds would be required as matching funds as part of the FY 2013-14 capital budget. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: TFCA is a local fund source of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District). As the TFCA program manager for Alameda County, the Alameda CTC is responsible for programming 40 percent of the $4 vehicle registration fee collected in Alameda County for this program. -
