Agenda Item 4.5
DATE:June 15, 2021
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:Transportation Development Act Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Project
Funding for Fiscal Year 2021-2022
Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Associate Civil Engineer (Traffic)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving the use of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article
3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Project Funding for design and construction of the Safe Routes to School
– Safety and Access Improvements project at three locations within the vicinity of Dublin schools.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for
the Allocation of Fiscal Year 2021-22 Transportation Development Act Article 3
Pedestrian/Bicycle Project Funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Staff is proposing to use Fiscal Year 2021-22 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3
funds in the amount of $188,038 to partially offset design and construction costs for Safe Routes
to School crosswalk improvements at three locations. The total cost estimate to design and
construct the improvements at the three locations is estimated to be $1,116,738. There are no
matching fund requirements associated with TDA Article 3 funds. Additional funds needed to
complete the project are available in the adopted Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements
Project, CIP No. ST0517. Staff is also pursuing Safe Routes to School – Mini Grant funds from the
Alameda County Transportation Commission and any other grant opportunities to cover all or a
portion of the project costs. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) must approve
the use of TDA Article 3 funds. Once MTC approves the use of funds, said TDA Article 3 funds will
be added to CIP No. ST0517 via a budget change.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act (SB 325) was enacted by the California Legislature to improve
existing public transportation services and encourage regional transportation coordination.
116
Page 2 of 3
Known as the Transportation Development Act (TDA) of 1971, this law provides funding to be
allocated to transit and non-transit related purposes that comply with regional transportation
plans. The TDA funds a wide variety of transportation programs, including planning and program
activities, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, community transit services, public transportation, and
bus and rail projects.
TDA Article 3 funds are apportioned based on the population of a local jurisdiction. The funding
distribution involves a three-step process: (1) apportionment, (2) allocation, and (3)
payment. Annually, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) determines the nine-
county share of the anticipated TDA funding. Allocation to oca jurisdictions is a discretionary
action by MTC, which designates funds for a specific City or unincorporated county area for
bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Payment is authorized by allocation instructions issued by
MTC, which may call for payment in a lumpsum, in installments, or as funds become available.
To receive the allocation of TDA Article 3 funds, MTC requires the local jurisdiction to adopt a
resolution that requests the allocation from funding that is already apportioned to that
jurisdiction. MTC also requires that the resolution include specific findings and a copy of the TDA
Article 3 Project Application Form, which are included as Attachment 1 to this report. The City
Council previously adopted Resolution 37-18 on May 1, 2018, requesting allocation of $210,000 of
TDA Article 3 funds, which are being used to fund the update of the City of Dublin Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan.
Safe Routes to School – Safety and Access Improvements Project
The Safe Routes to School Project proposes various improvements near 12 schools in the City. The
proposed improvements were developed through “Walk Audits” funded by the Alameda County
Transportation Commission (ACTC) and coordinated by the Safe Routes to Schools program.
“Walk Audits” included in-field observations as well as feedback from numerous stakeholders
including representatives from Dublin Unified School District, Dublin Police Services, City Staff,
school administrators, parents, students, and traffic engineering and transportation planning
professionals. Major recommendations from the “Walk Audits,” refined by guidelines provided in
Dublin's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and a detailed engineering review, form the
foundation of the proposed project improvements. The proposed project will create safer
crossings and improved accessibility. These improvements will encourage more students and
residents to use active transportation modes.
The requested allocation of TDA Article 3 funding will offset the costs to design and install
rectangular rapid-flashing beacons and other crosswalk improvements, including ADA curb ramp
upgrades, signing and striping improvements at three locations: Central Parkway and Aspen
Street, Amador Valley Boulevard and Burton Street, and Grafton Street and Antone Way. The Safe
Routes to School – Safety and Access Improvements Project is part of the Capital Improvement
Program, Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements, CIP No. ST0517.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.

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).

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.
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.
127
Attachment A
Resolution No. 4108

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. 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.
128
Attachment A
Resolution No. 4108
Page 5 of 7
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.
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.
130
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
