<br />
<br />LSR - 2
<br />
<br />D. Bridges and tunnels: Crossings above or below grade for bicycles, pedestrians, and/or autos and
<br />transit.
<br />E. Capital project: A capital investment that typically requires the following phases: planning/feasibility,
<br />scoping, environmental clearance, design, right-of-way, construction, and completion.
<br />F. Complete Street: A transportation facility that is planned, designed, operated, and maintained to
<br />provide safe mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit vehicles, truckers, and
<br />motorists, appropriate to the function and context of the facility. Complete street concepts apply to
<br />rural, suburban, and urban areas. (Caltrans definition)
<br />G. Complete Streets Act of 2008: The California Complete Streets Act (Assembly Bill 1358) was signed
<br />into law in September 2008. It requires that local jurisdictions modify their general plans as follows:
<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 />H. Construction: Construction of a new capital project, including development of preliminary
<br />engineering and construction documents, including plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E).
<br />I. Cost Allocation Plans (CAPs): CAPs and indirect cost (IDC) rate proposals are plans that provide a
<br />systematic manner to identify, accumulate, and distribute allowable direct and indirect costs to Local
<br />Streets and Roads programs funded through the Alameda CTC Master Programs Funding Agreements.
<br />J. 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,
<br />and benefits) that are directly and solely related to the implementation of the Alameda CTC-funded
<br />Local Streets and Roads projects, consultants, and materials. These funds may be used for travel or
<br />training if they are directly related to the implementation of the Local Streets and Roads funds.
<br />K. Direct Local Distribution Funds: Funds are allocated based upon a funding formula (such as
<br />population, registered vehicles, roadmiles, or a combination thereof) defined in a voter approved
<br />measure and provided to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly schedule basis (such as a regular monthly
<br />payment).
<br />L. Education and promotion: Marketing, education, information, outreach, and promotional campaigns
<br />and programs.
<br />M. 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 />N. Equipment and new vehicles: Purchase or lease of vehicles and equipment for service
<br />improvements, such as information dissemination, fare collection, etc.
<br />O. Grants: Funding for plans, programs, or projects based on a competitive call for projects; evaluated
<br />based on adopted evaluation criteria; and allocated based on a reimbursement basis.
<br />P. Indirect cost: Also known as “overhead,” any cost of doing business other than direct costs. These
<br />costs include utilities, rent, administrative staff, officers’ salaries, accounting department costs, and
