Project Completion/Closeout: Inspection/project acceptance, final invoicing, final reporting, and <br />processes for closing out project. <br />R.

It will generate approximately $12 million per year through a $10 per year vehicle <br />registration fee. Administered by the Alameda CTC, the VRF funds four main types of programs (with the <br />funding distribution noted in parenthesis): local streets and roads (60 percent); transit (25 percent); local <br />transportation technology (10 percent); and bicycle and pedestrian projects (5 percent). <br />Section 5. Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Fund Allocations <br />A. These Implementation Guidelines provide guidance on two types of Bicycle and Pedestrian Fund <br />allocation processes for Measure B, Measure BB, and Vehicle Registration Fee funds: 1) Direct Local <br />Distribution funds and 2) Grants. <br />1.
