Eligible agencies, such as the City of Pleasanton, are required to file <br />applications annually with the ACTC to receive funding. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of an application to the Alameda County <br />Transportation Commission for Measure BB Funds for the Pleasanton Rides Door-to-Door <br />senior transportation program. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Pleasanton Rides Door-to-Door program provides affordable rides for Pleasanton Seniors <br />70 years and older, and is funded in part by Alameda County Transportation Commission <br />(ACTC) Measure BB. The ACTC has established a funding formula for the distribution of <br />Measure BB funds (dedicated sales tax) each year to provide special transportation for seniors <br />and persons with disabilities. Each eligible agency must submit an application and an <br />approved City Council resolution. Program plan applications are then forwarded to the <br />Paratransit Advisory Planning Committee for consideration and approval. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />The total estimated cost of the Pleasanton Rides Door-to-Door program for Fiscal Year <br />2026/27 is $600,424. The anticipated Measure BB funding is $568,136. The additional funding <br />needed for the program will come from existing Measure BB fund balance. <br /> <br />This program has historically been funded through a variety of sources, including Metropolitan <br />Transportation Commission (MTC) – Transportation Development Act (TDA) 4.5, Measure B, <br />Measure BB, and City General Funds. Current available funding sources are Measure BB and <br />City General Funds. Measure B has sunset, and City of Pleasanton MTC TDA 4.5 funds were <br />relinquished to the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) to supplement its costs <br />for providing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transportation to Pleasanton residents. <br /> <br />Table 1 - Pleasanton Rides Program Funding <br />Funding Sources Amount <br />Page 34 of 248
