The <br /> LTP program is intended to fund projects that result in improved mobility for low-income <br /> residents of the nine San Francisco Bay Area counties. The LTP program will be <br /> administered by county congestion management agencies or other designated <br /> countywide agencies. For San Mateo County, the City/County Association of <br /> Governments (C/CAG) is the designated agency. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> Approximately $3 million in funding is available for Cycle 3 LTP projects in San Mateo <br /> County. Funding sources for these projects include STA - State Transit Assistance <br /> (state funding), STP - Surface Transportation Program (federal funding), and JARC - <br /> Job Access and Reverse Commute (federal funding). <br /> Redwood City submitted two project applications. In March 2012, City staff received <br /> notification that both projects will be recommended for the following funding amounts to <br /> a C/CAG committee in April and to the C/CAG board in May: <br /> • Middlefield/Woodside Road Intersection improvements ($500,000 requested, <br /> $339,924 recommended for STP funding) <br />
