CITY/COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS POLICY ON ADMINISTRATION OF AB 434 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance and direction for the administration of AB 434 funds. AB 434 provides authority to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to impose a $2. 00 surcharge fee on motor vehicles registered within the BAAQMD to become effective April 1, 1992 . This fee can be raised to $4 .00 effective October 1, 1992 , or thereafter by resolution of the BAAQMD. The fee is collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles and distributed to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The funds are then divided into two separate categories: 1) 60% is administered by BAAQMD, 2) 40% is reserved for the County Program Manager. AB 434 specifies seven types of transportation projects or programs. These projects are listed in the eligibility criteria section of this policy. Only public agencies are eligible to receive funding. To administer the program, the County Program Manager will be allowed to use the entire administrative budget allowed by law (5%) . Therefore any administrative cost incurred by a successful claimant will have to be financed by that claimant. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The following objectives will be used by C/CAG in evaluating projects. The objectives are used to establish eligibility criteria and priorities. 1. Reduce air pollution from motor vehicles. 2. Fund the most effective transportation programs and projects that achieve emission reductions from motor vehicles, pursuant to the California Clean Air of 1988 and the Bay Area 1991 Clean Air Plan. 3 . Implement AB 434 funding as quickly, simply, and efficiently as possible within the constraints of the law. 4 . Be as equitable as possible while continuing to support other program objectives. -1- 11744
