Please see the attached C /CAG <br />Accomplishments /Analysis /Programs. These accomplishments include the Countywide <br />Transportation Plan and the Transit Oriented Development Incentive Program. <br />Additionally, C /CAG received numerous County, Regional, State and National awards. <br />The C /CAG FY 02 -03 Budget member dues /fees ($1,922 are leveraged 2.6 times <br />for total revenue and 15.6 times for controlled transportation funds. Utilization of two <br />direct staff and contract staff for the remaining tasks has minimized the staffing <br />necessary to meet the program requirements. This staffing approach enables C /CAG to <br />meet the program requirements in a cost- effective manner. <br />Given that most of the C /CAG programs are mandates that must be performed, it is <br />likely that the cost for Redwood City to perform the mandates provided by C /CAG would <br />be significantly higher than the annual fee of $61,986.49. During the last four years <br />Redwood City has paid a total of $233,848 in fees and received $2,308,341 in funds <br />programmed. As a member of C /CAG the City has had a voice in programming over <br />$100 million in transportation funds. <br />C /CAG Benefits <br />Benefits of C /CAG to the member agencies include: <br />• Enable all agencies to have a vote in the distribution of State and Federal <br />Transportation funds allocated to San Mateo County. <br />• Provide support to assist agencies in obtaining and maintaining funds. <br />• Provide cost - effective programs to assist member agencies in meeting <br />mandates. <br />• Provide active intergovernmental support for San Mateo County and the <br />member agencies in the Region. <br />• Provide additional information to agency staff on the system wide <br />transportation impacts of proposed developments such that better local <br />decisions can be made. <br />• Provide a forum to share ideas and solutions among agencies for common <br />issues. <br />• Provide lobbyist support in Sacramento. <br />
