ACTC has established a funding formula for the distribution <br />of Measure BB funds (dedicated sales tax) to provide special transportation for seniors and <br />persons with disabilities. Each eligible agency must submit an application and an approved <br />City Council resolution. Program applications are forwarded to the Paratransit Advisory <br />Planning Committee for consideration and approval. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />The total budgeted cost of the Pleasanton Rides Door-to-Door program is $591,458.
