SUMMARY
Every year, TDA funds are made available to cities state-wide for construction and maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian projects. In the Bay Area, TDA Article 3 funds are allocated by MTC and require the submittal of a resolution by the City’s governing body authorizing the submittal of the application for funding request. In April 2023, staff received approval from the City’s Grant Review Committee for this opportunity. Staff is now requesting the authorization to submit the funding request application to procure a fully electric, compact bike-lane street sweeper, which is an eligible expense under TDA Article 3. Once approved, a funding agreement will be executed, and funds will be appropriated to Gas Tax (Fund 210). Per the City’s accounting policies, all TDA Article 3 funded projects need to be recognized in this fund.
