Next Steps The EI Camino Real Community Mobility Improvement study was made possible by a planning grant by MTC in order for local governments, transit operators, and other public agencies to be in a competitive standing to apply for the MTC TLC capital grant program. Upon receipt of Council's input and direction, the consultant will revise the design concepts if needed, and provide the required documents to staff that will be folded into the capital grant application, which is due to MTC on June 23,2006. Grant amounts range from $500,000 to $3 million per project, with a total amount of $14 million available this funding cycle. A local match of 11.5 percent of the total project cost is required. MTC will evaluate the applications based on community involvement, project impact, transportation/community development/land use, and internal community mobility. 3 1:2006 STAFF REPORTS AND AGREEMENTS_O6-2006_ECR MTC TLC Planning Grant
