Alameda CTC Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Implementation Guidelines
<br />
<br />Bicycle/Pedestrian - 2
<br />
<br />“(A) Commencing January 1, 2011, upon any substantial revision of the circulation element, the
<br />legislative body shall modify the circulation element to plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation
<br />network that meets the needs of all users of the streets, roads, and highways for safe and convenient
<br />travel in a manner that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan.
<br />(B) For the purposes of this paragraph, “users of streets, roads, and highways” means bicyclists,
<br />children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users of public
<br />transportation, and seniors.”
<br />E. Construction: Construction of a new capital project, including development of preliminary engineering
<br />and construction documents, including plans, specifications, and estimates.
<br />F. Cost Allocation Plans (CAPs): CAPs and Indirect cost rate proposals (IDCs) are plans that provide a
<br />systematic manner to identify, accumulate, and distribute allowable direct and indirect costs to Bicycle and
<br />Pedestrian programs funded through the Alameda CTC Master Programs Funding Agreements.
<br />G. Direct cost: A cost completely attributed to the provision of a service, operations, a program, a capital
<br />cost, or a product. These costs include documented hourly project staff labor charges (salaries, wages and
<br />benefits) which are directly and solely related to the implementation of the Alameda CTC-funded Bicycle
<br />and Pedestrian Funds, consultants, and materials. These funds may be used for travel or training if they are
<br />directly related to the implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Funds.
<br />H. Direct Local Distribution Funds: Funds are allocated based upon a funding formula (such as
<br />population, registered vehicles, road miles, or a combination thereof) defined in a voter approved
<br />transportation expenditure plan, and provided to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly scheduled basis (such
<br />as a regular monthly payment).
<br />I. Environmental Documents: Preparation of environmental documents, such as those related to the
<br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), or
<br />permits required by state or federal permitting agencies.
<br />J. Grants: Funding for plans, programs or projects based upon a competitive call for projects, an evaluation
<br />process based on adopted evaluation criteria and allocated based upon a reimbursement basis.
<br />K. Indirect cost: Also known as “overhead,” any cost of doing business other than direct costs. These costs
<br />include utilities, rent, administrative staff, officer's salaries, accounting department costs and personnel
<br />department costs, which are requisite for general operation of the organization, but are not directly
<br />allocable to a particular service or product.
<br />L. Local Bicycle Master Plan/Local Pedestrian Master Plans: Locally adopted plans that, at a minimum,
<br />examine existing conditions for walking and/or bicycling, and provide recommendations on improving the
<br />walking and/or bicycling environment, and prioritize these improvements. These plans may be stand-alone
<br />bicycle and pedestrian plans or maybe a joint plan that addresses both walking and bicycling. Also referred
<br />to as an Active Transportation Plan.
<br />M. Maintenance: Repairs, renovation, or upgrade of existing facility or infrastructure.
<br />N. Measure BB: Alameda County voters approved Measured BB, the 2014 Transportation Expenditure Plan,
<br />in November 2014. It authorizes the collection of a half-cent transportation sales tax and augments the
<br />existing 2000 Measure B sales tax program. Collection of the sales tax began on April 1, 2015.
<br />Administered by the Alameda CTC, Measure BB funds four types of programs in 20 local jurisdictions:
<br />bicycle and pedestrian, local streets and roads, mass transit, and paratransit.
<br />O. Operations: Provision of services that operate transportation facilities and programs. Operations costs do
<br />not include the costs to operate community outreach or other programs not directly related to a specific
<br />transportation service, program, or product.
