Transportation Commission (MTC) required all TDA applicants to have their TDA projects

111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background (cont.):
In accordance with those procedures, each City and the County submitted applications for 1996-
97 TDA funds for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee
reviewed the projects in November of 1995. The TDA Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the
City/County Engineers Advisory Committee (CCEAC), met in late December to field review all of
the TDA applications submitted for funding consideration.
Ten projects, totaling over $1,100,000, were reviewed by the subcommittee. This year's
subcommittee is made up of representatives from San Pablo, Martinez, Pittsburg, Lafayette, the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the County, the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, the
Regional Bicycle Advisory Committee and the East Bay Regional Park District. The following
exhibit lists all of the submitted projects.
MTC estimated (preliminary) that $440,000 TDA funds would be available for 1996-97 in Contra
Costa County. After reviewing all of the proposed projects and prioritizing the projects using
criteria established for that purpose, the subcommittee recommended that the CCEAC accept a
project priority list for the 1996-97 TDA Article 3 funds. The CCEAC approved the proposed
priority list on February 2, 1996.
On March 7, 1996, the Contra Costa Conference of Mayors approved the proposed priority list.
The priority list has been reviewed by the Transportation Committee.
The CCEAC requests approval of the project list for the 1996-97 TDA Article 3 funds.
Subsequent to adoption of the list by the Board of Supervisors, the priority list will be forwarded
to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for final approval and funding allocation.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve the project list will result in a delay in the MTC process of allocating TDA funds
in the Contra Costa County area.
