TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Metropolitan Transportation Commission Transportation Development Act
Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Project Funding for Fiscal Year 2026-27
Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Transportation and Operations Program
Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving a request to the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission for use of Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle
Project Funding for the construction of the pedestrian and accessibility improvements as part
of the Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP No. ST0117, which includes curb ramp
upgrades, curb extensions, and related work at various locations throughout the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for
the Allocation of the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Project
Funding for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article
3 funds totaling $227,170 are available to the City for Fiscal Year 2026 -27. Staff proposes to
use these funds to partially cover construction costs for pedestrian improvements and those
related to the Americans with Disabilities Act included in the Annual Street Resurfacing
Project, CIP Project No. ST0117.
The Project has an estimated cost of $2,100,000. TDA Article 3 funds do not require matching
funds, and sufficient funding is available to complete the remaining Project improvements.
Upon MTC approval, Staff will reflect the funds in the Project budget.

DESCRIPTION:
Background
The Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act, Senate Bill 325, enacted by the California Legislature,
established the Transportation Development Act of 1971 (TDA), to improve public
transportation services and encourage regional transportation coordination. The TDA provides
funding for transit and non-transit projects including planning activities, pedestrian and bicycle
facilities, community transit services, public transportation, and bus and rail projects.
TDA Article 3 funds are distributed annually by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission
(MTC) based on the population of each local jurisdiction. MTC determines the regional share
of anticipated TDA funding and allocates funds to local agencies for eligible bicycle and
pedestrian projects. Payment is made based on allocation instructions issued by MTC.
MTC requires the City Council to adopt a resolution requesting allocation of TDA Article 3
funds that have been apportioned to the City. The resolution must include required findings
and the completed TDA Article 3 Project Application Form, included as Attachment 1 to this
report.
Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP No. ST0117
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, Staff proposes to use the City’s apportioned TDA Article 3 funds for
pedestrian and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements at various locations
throughout the City as part of the Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP Project No. ST0117.
Project Description
The Project consists of pedestrian and ADA improvements including 106 curb ramps to meet
the latest accessibility standards. Associated improvements include, sidewalk, concrete, and
drainage improvements needed to support the curb ramp upgrades, as well as detectable
warning surfaces and targeted curb extensions.
Project Locations
Project locations include corridors and within residential neighborhoods on Brighton Drive,
Castilian Road, Penn Drive, Amador Valley Boulevard, Hacienda Drive, Gleason Drive, York
Drive, Silvergate Drive, and Newcastle Lane , included as Attachment 2 to this report.
Project locations were selected to align with areas planned for the Fiscal Year 2027-28 Annual
Street Resurfacing Project, allowing the City to use funding efficiently and coordinate
improvements. Within those project areas, improvements such as curb extensions were
identified through Safe Routes to School assessments and recommendations in the City’s
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 5: Long-Term Infrastructure and Sustainability Investments
Objective A: Continue to explore funding mechanisms for capital and ongoing maintenance
needs.

Policies and Procedures
Eligible Claimants
The Transportation Development Act (TDA), Public Utilities Code Sections 99233.3 and 99234,
makes funds available in the nine-county Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)
Region for the exclusive use of pedestrian and bicycle projects. MTC makes annual allocations
of TDA Article 3 funds to eligible claimants after review of applications submitted by county
coordinator which may be the county, County Transportation Agency (CTA) or Congestion
Management Agency (CMA) of the county.
All cities and counties in the nine counties in the MTC region are eligible to claim funds under
TDA Article 3. Joint powers agencies composed of cities and/or counties are also eligible
provided their JPA agreement allows it to claim TDA funds.
Application
1. The county coordinator will be responsible for developing a program of projects not more
than annually, which they initiate by contacting the county and all cities and joint powers
agencies within their jurisdiction and encouraging submission of project applications.
2. Claimants will send one or more copies of project applications to the county coordinator
(see "Priority Setting" below).
3. A project is eligible for funding if:
a. The project sponsor submits a resolution of its governing board that addresses the
following six points:
1. There are no legal impediments regarding the project.
2. Jurisdictional or agency staffing resources are adequate to complete the project.
3. There is no pending or threatened litigation that might adversely affect the project
or the ability of the project sponsor to carry out the project.
4. Environmental and right-of-way issues have been reviewed and found to be in such
a state that fund obligation deadlines will not be jeopardized.
49

Priority Setting
1. The county coordinator shall create a process for establishing project priorities in order to
prepare an annual list of projects being recommended for funding.
2. Each county and city is required to have a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
(BPAC) or equivalent body review and prioritize TDA Article 3 bicycle and pedestrian
projects and to participate in the development and review of comprehensive bicycle
pedestrian, or active transportation plans. BPACs should be composed of both bicyclists
and pedestrians.
A city BPAC shall be composed of at least 3 members who live or work in the city. More
members may be added as desired. They will be appointed by the City Council. The City
or Town Manager will designate staff to provide administrative and technical support to the
Committee.
An agency can apply to MTC for exemption from the city BPAC requirement if they can
demonstrate that the countywide BPAC provides for expanded city representation.
A countywide BPAC shall be composed of at least 5 members who live or work in the
county. More members may be added as desired. The countywide agency will appoint
BPAC members. The county or congestion management agency executive/administrator
will designate staff to provide administration and technical support to the Committee.
3. All proposed projects shall be submitted to the county coordinator for
evaluation/prioritization. Consistent with the county process, the Board of the county
coordinator will adopt the countywide list and forward it to MTC for approval, along with the
record of BPAC review.
4. The county coordinator will forward to MTC a copy of the following:
a) Applications for the recommended projects, including a governing body resolution,
stamped environmental document, and map for each, as well as a cover letter stating
the total amount of money being claimed; and confirmation that each project meets
Caltrans’ minimum safety design criteria and can be completed before the allocation
expires.
b) The complete priority list of projects with an electronic version to facilitate grant
processing.
c) A resolution of the county coordinator approving the priority list and authorizing the
claim.

MTC Staff Evaluation
MTC Staff will review the list of projects submitted by each county. If a recommended project
is eligible for funding, falls within the overall TDA Article 3 fund estimate level for that county,
and has a completed application, staff will recommend that funds be allocated to the project.
Allocation
The Commission will approve the allocation of funds for the recommended projects. The
County Auditor will be notified by allocation instructions to reserve funds for the approved
projects. Claimants will be sent copies of the allocation instructions and funds should be
invoiced in accordance with the “Disbursement” section below.
Eligible Expenditures
Eligible expenditures may be incurred from the start of the fiscal year of award plus two
additional fiscal years. Allocations expire at the end of third fiscal year following allocation.
For example, if funds are allocated to a project in October 2021, a claimant may be reimbursed
for eligible expenses that were incurred on or after July 1, 2021. The allocation expires on June
30, 2024 and all eligible expenses must be incurred before this date. All disbursement requests
should be submitted by August 31, 2024.
Disbursement
1. The claimant shall submit to MTC the following, no later than two months after the grant
expiration date:
a) A copy of the allocation instructions along with a dated cover letter referring to
the project by name, dollar amount and allocation instruction number and the request
for a disbursement of funds;
b) Documents showing that costs have been incurred during the period of time
covered by the allocation.
c) With the final invoice, the claimant shall submit a one paragraph summary of
work completed with the allocated funds and photos of the project before and after
completion. This information may be included in the cover letter identified in bullet
“a” above and is required before final disbursement is made.
Reimbursement requests should be emailed to acctpay@bayareametro.gov.
2. MTC will approve the disbursement and, if the disbursement request was received in a
timely fashion and the allocation instruction has not expired, been totally drawn down nor
been rescinded, issue an authorization to the County Auditor to disburse funds to the
claimant.

Rescissions and Expired Allocations
Funds will be allocated to claimants for specific projects, so transfers of funds to other projects
sponsored by the same claimant may not be made. If a claimant has to abandon a project or
cannot complete it within the time allowed, it should ask the county or congestion management
agency to request that MTC rescind the allocation. Rescission requests may be submitted to and
acted upon by MTC at any time during the year. Rescinded funds will be returned to the
county’s apportionment.
Allocations that expire without being fully disbursed will be disencumbered in the fiscal year
following expiration. The funds will be returned to county’s apportionment and will be available
for allocation.
Time Extensions
If a project cannot be completed within the time allowed, a claimant may request an extension
through the county coordinator. County coordinators will coordinate time extensions with
claimants by requesting a written status update of the given project and a summary of all
expenditures to date. County coordinators will submit a list of extension requests with status
update and summary materials to MTC no later than March 31th of the given year. MTC staff
will review the list of extension requests and recommend extensions for the project.
Fiscal Audit
All claimants that have received a disbursement of TDA funds are required to submit an annual
certified fiscal and compliance audit for that fiscal year to MTC and to the Secretary of Business
and Transportation Agency within 180 days after the close of the fiscal year, in accordance with
PUC Section 99245. Article 3 applicants need not file a fiscal audit if TDA funds were not
disbursed (that is, reimbursed by MTC) during a given fiscal year. Reimbursement may cover
eligible expenditures from a previous fiscal year. Failure to submit the required audit for any
TDA article will preclude MTC from making a new Article 3 allocation. For example, a
delinquent Article 4.5 fiscal audit will delay any other TDA allocation to the city/county with an
outstanding audit. Until the audit requirement is met, no new Article 3 allocations will be made.
TDA Article 3 funds may be used to pay for the fiscal audit required for this funding.

Appendix A: Examples of Eligible Projects
Below are some examples of eligible projects. If you have questions about whether a proposed
project is eligible for funding, please contact the MTC Program Coordinator.
1. Projects that eliminate or improve an identified problem area (specific safety hazards such
as high-traffic narrow roadways or barriers to travel) on routes that would otherwise
provide relatively safe and direct bicycle or pedestrian travel use. For example, restriping
or parking removal to provide space for bicycles; a bicycle/pedestrian bridge across a
stream or railroad tracks on an otherwise useful route; a segment of multi-purpose path to
divert young bicyclists from a high traffic arterial; a multi-purpose path to provide safe
access to a school or other activity center; replacement of substandard grates or culverts;
adjustment of traffic-actuated signals to make them bicycle sensitive. Projects based on
NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) guidance or similar best
practices guidance.
2. Roadway improvements or construction of a continuous interconnected route to provide
reasonably direct access to activity centers (employment, educational, cultural,
recreational) where access did not previously exist or was hazardous. For example,
development of multi-purpose paths on continuous rights-of-way with few intersections
(such as abandoned railroad rights-of-way) which lead to activity centers; an appropriate
combination of shared-use paths (Class I), bike lanes (Class II), Class III, or separated
bikeways (Class IV)
3. Secure bicycle parking facilities, especially in high use activity areas, at transit terminals,
and at park-and-ride lots. Desirable facilities include lockers, sheltered and guarded check-
in areas; self-locking sheltered racks that eliminate the need to carry a chain and racks that
accept U-shaped locks.
4. Other provisions that facilitate bicycle/transit trips and walk/transit. For example, bike
racks on buses, paratransit/trailer combinations, and bicycle loan or check-in facilities at
transit terminals, bus stop improvements, wayfinding signage.
5. Maintenance of multiple purpose pathways that are closed to motorized traffic or for the
purposes of restriping Class II bicycle lanes (provided that the total amount for Class II
bicycle lane restriping does not exceed twenty percent of the county’s total TDA Article 3
allocation).
6. Funds may be used for construction and plans, specification, and estimates (PS&E) phases
of work. Funds may be used for quick build projects. Quick build projects are interim
capital improvements that are built with durable, low to moderate cost material to
immediately address pedestrian and bicycle needs until capital upgrades are possible.
Project level environmental, planning, and right-of-way phases are not eligible uses of
funds.
54
Attachment A
Resolution No. 4108
Page 7 of 7
7. Projects that enhance or encourage bicycle or pedestrian commutes, including Safe Routes
to Schools projects.
8. Projects that address bicycle and pedestrian safety such as those in the Local Roadway
Safety Manual. Intersection safety improvements including protected intersections, bulb-
outs/curb extensions, transit stop extensions, installation of pedestrian countdown or
accessible pedestrian signals, or pedestrian signal timing adjustments. Striping high-
visibility crosswalks or advanced stop-back lines, where warranted.
9. Purchase and installation of pedestrian traffic control devices, such as High-intensity
Activated crossWalK (HAWK) beacons, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), or
pedestrian safety “refuge” islands, where warranted.
10. The project may be part of a larger roadway improvement project as long as the funds are
used only for the bicycle and/or pedestrian component of the larger project.
11. Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education Programs. Up to five percent of a county's Article
3 fund may be expended to supplement monies from other sources to fund public bicycle
and pedestrian safety education programs and staffing.
12. Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Plan. Funds may be allocated for these
plans (emphasis should be for accommodation of bicycle and walking commuters rather
than recreational uses). A city or county may not receive allocations for these plans more
than once every five years. Environmental documentation and approval necessary for plan
adoption is an eligible expense.
