HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 10222013 - C.03RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/400 of Local Support to submit an application for State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) funds under the Roadway Projects Program for the Kirker Pass Road Northbound Truck Lanes
Project, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Concord area. (Districts IV & V)
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
The STIP is a multi-year capital improvement program of transportation projects on and off the State Highway
System, funded with revenues from the State Highway Account and other funding sources. The STIP is composed of
two sub-elements: The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) and the Interregional Transportation
Improvement Program (ITIP).
As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the Bay Area, the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC) is responsible for developing regional project priorities for the RTIP for the nine counties of the
Bay Area. The biennial RTIP is then submitted to the California Transportation Commission for inclusion in the
STIP. The Kirker Pass Road Northbound Truck Lanes Project is recommended for a funding award though the STIP.
If the application is selected for funding, the County may be granted $2,650,000 for the Kirker Pass Road
Northbound Truck Lanes Project. Receiving STIP funds will augment Measure J funds programmed for the project
and County road funds to allow the improvements to be made.
