78 Page 45 Enhanced Funding Opportunities The Alliance currently has four funding agreements that provide the bulk of Its budget that directly funds services: I. C/CAG Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA local 40%): $449,000 2. C/CAG Congestion Relief Plan: $509,000 3. C/CAG Regional Rideshare for San Mateo County (TFCA regional 60%): $70,000 4. San Mateo County Transportation Authority, Measure A TSM: $398,103 The ability to expand funding resources will be driven in part on the success of collaboration with SMCTD and C/CAG on their own plans for expanding the opportunities for commute alterna- tives, including shuttle services. Measure A The 2009-2033 Measure A Expenditure Plan should enhance funding opportunities for the Alliance. There are two specific program elements that are particularly relevant to Alliance Programs. I. Provide local shuttle services to meet local mobility needs and access to regional transit services. This is 4% of Measure A funds and is forecast to generate $60 million (2004 dollars) to support shuttle program efforts over the life of the plan. The plan suggests that these funds will be matched with an additional $60 million. This SMCTD is in the process of developing Calls for Projects for this funding source. 2. One percent of the total revenue will be allocated to fund traffic management projects and creative congestion relief program. Over the 25-years, this program element is expected to generate $15 million (2004 dollars). The Alliance should maximize its participation in these program elements as a first priority for potential additional operations funding. There are two other secondary categories of fund- ing Including 3% of Measure A funds or $45 million bicycle and pedestrian capital projects and 4% of the funds or $60 million is allocated for specialized transportation mobility needs. While the great majority of these funds will go to the cities, county and Redi-Wheels, there may be future opportunities for partnering on specific projects. TransDortation Fund for Clean Air rrFCA) There are two pots of money that the Bay Area Air Qual- ity Management District provides to assist with auto emission reduction. These funds are derived from $4 vehicle license fee in the Bay Area. The 40% funds go to local counties as part of the County Program Manager Fund and C/CAG is responsible for administration of these funds. C/CAG contracts with the Alliance to implement a work plan consistent with 40% pro- gram goals. The Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Regional Fund is a competitive grant program that provides funding for eligible alternative fuel and trip reduction projects in the Bay Area. The Air District's jurisdiction encompasses all of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa. San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, and the southern parts of Solano and Sonoma counties. 43
