RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the TAM Board approve the funding recommendations shown in
Attachment D.
BACKGROUND
The
One Bay Area Grant (OBAG)
Program is MTC’s funding approach that attempts to integrate the region’s
federal transportation program with California’s climate law (Senate Bill
375, Steinberg, 2008) and
the
Sustainable Communities Strategy. Funding distribution to the counties is
intended to encourage land- use and housing policies that support the
production of housing with supportive transportation investments.
OBAG
Cycle 1 covered a five-year period from FY 12/13 to FY 16/17. TAM programmed
funds from OBAG Cycle 1 to eligible projects in November 2012.
Those
projects have either been completed or will be entering construction in FY
16/17.
In
November 2015, MTC adopted guidelines for funding distribution from OBAG
Cycle 2 that covers another five-year period from FY 17/18 to FY 21/22.
OBAG CYCLE
2 DISTRIBUTION
MTC
provided distribution figures for OBAG 2 that shows a total of $790 million.
Of the $790 million available, MTC set aside $436 million (55%) for regional
programs and $354 million (45%) for county distribution.
The
regional programs include $16 million for Priority Conservation Area (PCA)
projects.
The PCA
Program in administered by the California Coastal Conservancy for the Bay
Area as a regional program but the four North Bay counties will be provided
$2.05 million each to administer their own individual programs.
The
below table summarizes the categories and amounts for the Regional Programs
to be administered by MTC.

SMART has refused to
fund the necessary move of the San Rafael TRANSIT CENTER ( and the
PATHWAY along its tracks to Larkspur). And now they say they are going
to proceed with construction of the track to Larkspur in 2017 !
SMART threatens that if the pathway from 2nd Street
to Anderson Drive is not constructed, at the same time as the tracks, it
will be considerably more expensive (at the same time they refuse to fund it
themselves).
Both the Transit Center move and the
Pathway should have already been included in SMART's plans 2005-2008
which was presented to the voters.
The
Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) is scurrying to find funding for
these projects ( see Kinsey say the new Transit Center could cost $30-$40
million in the video on
http://www.tam.ca.gov/index.aspx?page=185 July 28 meeting, near the
end). By doing this they are enabling SMART's
renege
TAM's Evaluation Considerations include "Does the project reduce congestion in Marin?"
But provides no details on how this is achieved.
In fact, it turns out that SMART will :-
- --- take no more than 79 cars off Hwy 101 per
commute peak hour
-
(
see the calculation here).
- --- stop traffic on 2nd and 3rd street every
15 minutes
-
(causing a huge backup both directions and onto
the freeway)
- --- have few to zero spaces available for its
riders on the Larkspur Ferry
-
At this point there is enough information
available to say that SMART from San Rafael to Larkspur will produce
much more "congestion in SR AND Marin",
far more than taking 79 cars off 39 miles of
the freeway and it would be beneficial to the people of Marin to delay
this for as long as possible.
Supposing San Rafael and TAM refused to
move the Transit Center? SMART could not, then, build the track and relieve
Marin commuters of great congestion pain !
Perhaps we now have enough information to
actually sue TAM for a detailed analysis of the net "traffic congestion"
that this SMART extension will produce?

Of the $354 million available for county distribution, MTC used a formula
that factored population, housing RHNA, housing production, and housing
affordability.
Based on this formula and a policy principle that TAM staff fought for and
were successful in achieving -- to keep smaller counties whole from OBAG 1,
TAM received $10,025,000 for OBAG 2, as summarized in the below table.
This county distribution amount is separate from the $2,050,000 in PCA
funds that TAM received from the Regional Programs.
Marin’s
share of housing was reduced from 2.7% of the regional total of housing need
to 1.3% that resulted in reducing Marin’s share of the County Distribution
to $8.3 million in OBAG 2 funds versus $10.3 million in OBAG 1.
TAM’s
Executive Director and Marin’s MTC Commissioner worked with MTC to raise the
funds available to $10 million, roughly equal to what Marin received under
OBAG 1.
MTC
agreed to this adjustment for this cycle of federal funds with a clear
warning to TAM that the adjustment will not be allowed in future cycles of
federal funds, and so Marin should expect less in the future.
Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act
On December 4, 2015, a new five-year federal surface transportation
authorization was signed into law.
The new law, called Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST),
increased federal funding available to the MTC region by $72 million.
Combined with $54 million in unallocated existing revenues, MTC has $126
million in additional funds to augment the OBAG 2 framework.
On July
13, 2016, MTC’s Programming and Allocations Committee (PAC) recommended to
the MTC Commission to program $32 million of the additional funds to the
county distribution by the formula noted above.
The rest
of the funds were recommended to be allocated to a combination of Housing
Production Incentive Program, Bay Bridge improvements, Naturally Occurring
Affordable Housing (NOAH) Program,
Transit
Priorities projects, and Climate Initiatives projects.
Of the
$32 million programmed to county distribution, TAM will receive $845,000 on
top of the
$10,025,000 mentioned above, for a total of $10,870,000.
The MTC
Commission is scheduled approved the PAC’s recommendation on July 27, 2016.
COUNTY
DISTRIBUTION
Subject
to MTC Commission’s approval of the additional funds from the FAST Act on
July 27, 2016, TAM is scheduled to receive $10,870,000 in OBAG 2 funds and
$2,050,000 in PCA funds. The PCA funds were
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10 Page 3 of 10
July 28, 2016
issued
through a separate Call for Projects and will be deliberated preceding this
OBAG item on the TAM Board July agenda.
Of the
$10,870,000 available, MTC set aside a minimum amount for each county for
CMA planning and administrative activities. These are primarily activities
that MTC requires CMAs to perform.
TAM has
been receiving these funds for the last 10 years and relies on them. While
MTC estimates an average of
$765,000
annually for CMA activity, TAM staff believe we can reduce this amount to a
lower level of funding, making more funds available for programming to
projects and programs.
The MTC
set aside for CMA planning and administrative activities for the five-year
period is $3,822,000, leaving $7,048,000 for projects and programs.
OBAG 2
Guidelines require minimum amounts to be programmed for Safe Routes to
School (SRTS) projects and projects in Priority Development Areas (PDAs) for
each CMA. Of the $7,048,000 available,
TAM is
required to program a minimum of $864,000 to SRTS projects or programs and
$3,092,000 to projects in PDAs. Marin City and
Downtown San Rafael are the two
PDAs in Marin.
Please
note that a SRTS project in a PDA would count toward both minimum
requirements.
In
February 2016, the TAM Board authorized staff to augment the OBAG 2 funds
with other local funds shown in the below table to increase the available
amount to be programmed, after the set-asides were deducted.
Staff
was able to increase the available funds due to a Highway 101 Gap Closure
credit of $3 million recently received in 2015.
The
Caltrans credit can be used on project types that are eligible for State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds, as that is the source of
the credit.
It would
be prudent to program these funds where eligibility, timing, and federal
complexity issues are potential impediments to delivery.
In
addition to the Caltrans credit, staff included this coming annual cycle of
Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) and Transportation Development Act
(TDA) Article 3 funds to the OBAG 2 Call for Projects.
TFCA and
TDA funds are limited to bicycle, pedestrian, and clean air projects. TAM
annually issues a Call for Projects with TFCA and TDA funds.
Given the
timing and likelihood of receiving bicycle and pedestrian applications from
the OBAG 2 Call for Projects,
including the upcoming annual amount of TFCA and TDA funds would be
efficient and gives us the latitude to match specialized funds with specific
projects.
The below
table summarizes the funds from OBAG 2 with the other abovementioned funding
sources:

to project(s) in a PDA.
CALL FOR
PROJECTS
A Call
for Projects was issued on Mach 30, 2016 with all of the abovementioned
available funds except for the additional funds of $845,000 from the FAST
Act.
The
$845,000 additional funds from the FAST Act were factored into the selection
process after applications were received since the funds were only
recommended by MTC’s PAC on July 13, 2016 and
still
conditioned on the approval from the MTC Commission on July 27, 2016.
If the
MTC Commission does not approve the additional funds from the FAST Act for
County Distribution or reduce the amount recommended by the PAC,
staff
will return at a later TAM Board meeting to recommend a reduction in
programming equivalent to final amount available.
Applications
Received
By the deadline of May 6, 2016, TAM received 42 applications from 15
applicants. For the first time with these federal funds, the Call for
Projects allowed transit operators to be eligible applicants.
With these applications received, Marin Transit, Golden Gate Transit, and
SMART became first-time applicants.
Another
first-time applicant was the National Park Service (NPS) with a bike trail
application. The remaining applicants were the cities, towns, Marin County,
and TAM.
A total
of 42 applications were initially considered and evaluated for the available
amount of $9,813,000. Attachment A is a summary and descriptions of the
applications received.
The total
amount requested from the 42 applications is over $49 million. Based on the
amount available of
$10.7
million, there is a requested to available funds ratio of 5 to 1 or only 22%
of the requested funding can be delivered.
Attachment A provides lists of applications and Attachment B is the local
priorities as provided by the applicants with multiple applications.
Please
note that some applications may have multiple components, such local streets
and roads (LSR) components and bicycle and pedestrian components,
but they
were sorted into the category where one component appears to be the dominant
component of the application.
The
distinctions between Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and bicycle and pedestrian
applications are particularly difficult to distinguish. Some applications
can be easily classified as both.

OBAG 2 REQUIREMENTS
The
following requirements only apply to OBAG 2 federal funds. They are not
applicable to local, TFCA, or TDA funds. If an applicant is ruled
ineligible from receiving OBAG 2 federal funds by MTC,
the
same applicant may still receive local, TFCA, and/or TDA funds.
Housing
Element
MTC requires applicants receiving OBAG 2 federal funds must have a general
plan housing element adopted and certified by the California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) for
2014-2022 by May 31, 2015. Jurisdictions that have failed to meet this
deadline must have their housing elements certified by HCD by June 30,
2016 in order to be eligible to receive OBAG 2 funding.
For
transit operator sponsored applications, the jurisdiction where the
project is located must meet this requirement.
All
Marin jurisdictions have met this requirement.
Complete
Street Resolution
MTC requires applicants receiving OBAG 2 federal funds must adopt a
Complete Streets compliant revision to the circulation element of the
general plan after January 1, 2010 or
adopt a complete street resolution by the date TAM submits TAM
Board-approved OBAG 2 applications to MTC. Deadline for submission to MTC
is June 2017 but
TAM anticipates submitting approved applications sooner than the
submission deadline. For transit operator sponsored applications, the
jurisdiction where the project is located must meet this requirement.
MTC
staff recently reported that as of June 30, 2016, the Marin jurisdictions
are considered non-complying include: Corte Madera, Sausalito, and Novato.
However, in the past month, Corte Madera and Sausalito have submitted
resolutions for MTC’s review and approval.
Novato
staff has reported that it will meet this requirement by the time TAM
submits approved applications to MTC with the possibility of presenting a
resolution to its Council for approval in September 2016.
If the
outstanding jurisdictions do not received approval from MTC for their
Complete Street Resolutions by the time TAM submits its approved
applications,
staff
may need to return to the TAM Board with revised recommendations that omit
non-complying applicants from receiving OBAG 2 funds.
APPLICATION EVALUATION
TAM
staff considered the following factors (not in priority order), among
others, in recommending applications to the TAM Board for funding.
These
factors were either specifically noted in the OBAG 2 Guidelines by MTC or
included by staff as germane. All of these factors were included in the
Call for Projects:
-
Does the project
reduce congestion in Marin?
-
Who are the beneficiaries of this project
and how many are projected to benefit from this project?
-
Does the project support transportation and
land use connections by encouraging housing and employment near transit?
-
Does the project improve transportation
choices and connectivity or promote multi-modal access?
-
Is the project in or proximate to a PDA?
-
Is the project regionally significant?
-
Does the project leverage other funds/amount
and timing of matching funds?
-
Is this project a local priority?
-
Does this project support the delivery of
goods and services?
As must
as possible, staff attempted to quantify the evaluation criteria with
measureable distinctions between applications.
For
evaluation criteria that are not naturally quantifiable, staff evaluated
the factors with a high/medium/low or yes/no evaluation.
EVALUATION
PROCESS
The
evaluation was conducted initially by TAM staff and a consultant
based on the abovementioned criteria. Based on these criteria, the
applications were ranked in order of priority.
In
addition, TAM’s Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) and
the Marin Public Works Association (MPWA) were presented with the
applications received with the guidelines of each funding sources at
separate meetings.
They
heard from applicants and deliberated on the applications’ merits. The
recommendations from the BPAC and MPWA are summarized in a comparison in
Attachment C.
Staff
will meet with non-applying member(s) of City Managers on July 27, 2016 to
review staff’s evaluation process. Result of the meeting will be reported
verbally at the July 28th TAM Board meeting.
The
result of staff’s evaluation and funding recommendations are shown in
Attachment D.
Staff
made efforts to incorporate as much as possible the recommendations from
the BPAC and MPWA into the final staff recommendations.
The
below table summarizes the recommended funding by categories if approved
with no changes.

This table shows a recommended funding amount of $10,992,000, which is
greater than the amount available for programming mentioned above at
$10,668,000.
The difference of $324,000 is attributed to two planning projects (San
Anselmo’s Hub Study and Ross’ Bike Plan Update) that are recommended for
funding from the CMA planning and administrative set-aside funds.
While MTC intended these funds for CMA planning and administrative
activities, the funds can also be programmed for planning projects.
TAM staff has determined that all CMA planning and administrative
activities over the 5-year period can be accommodated with the proposed
lesser amount of the CMA planning funds.
Applications Withdrawn From Consideration
Three applications were subsequently withdrawn by applicants from
consideration.
TAM withdrew Project 40 Richmond-San Rafael Bridge
Approaches and Project 41 Marin County Safe Routes to School
Program Sustainment because they will be considered for other funding
sources.
Marin Transit withdrew Project 13 Transit Priority Improvements on Sir
Francis Drake to coordinate with Marin County on the
Sir Francis Drake Major Road Project under Measure
A.
FUNDING
RECOMMENDATONS
As
noted above, the summary of the programming recommendations for OBAG 2,
local, TFCA, and TDA is shown in Attachment D.
Attachment D also includes the recommended funding for PCA applications.
While PCA funds were not included with this Call for Projects, it would
be beneficial to see how all funds were programmed.
Staff
is recommending funding the projects ranked two to 12 with OBAG 2 and
local funds.
In
additions, one application was recommended for funding with TFCA funds
and three applications were recommended for TDA funds. Below are
discussions on some of the applications.
Transportation Funds for Clean Air (TFCA)
Staff is recommending programming the entire available amount of
approximately $360,000 to Sausalito’s Gate 6 application.
This recommendation is consistent with the BPAC and MPWA’s
recommendation.
The recommended TFCA amount was less than the requested amount. Both
BPAC and MPWA provided a second option if Sausalito declines the TFCA
funds if other funds cannot be secured to complete the full funding
plan.
Staff is also proposing to program $140,000 in local funds to fund the
total project costs. Therefore, the second options recommended by both
groups would not need to be considered.
Transportation Development Act (TDA)
Staff is recommending programming the TDA funds to three projects, with
$100,000 to Corte Madera Redwood Highway Path Repaving, $115,000 to
Larkspur’s Magnolia Avenue Crosswalk Improvements, and
the remaining amount of approximately $45,000 to Marin County’s Bicycle
Route Sign program.
The
BPAC and MPWA have similar recommendations with the noted differences
that MPWA recommended $82,000 in TDA funds to Sausalito’s Gate 6
application to alleviate the shortfall and a lesser amount ($28,000) for
Larkspur’s Magnolia Avenue Crosswalk Improvements to only implement a
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) out the proposed project.
Given that staff is recommending local funds to fully fund the
Sausalito’s Gate 6 application, programming additional TDA funds to this
project is not necessary,
leaving more funds to fully construct Larkspur’s Magnolia Avenue
Crosswalk Improvements.
San Rafael Bettini Transit
Center
When the Call for Projects was
issued, there was no firm commitment to program any funds from the
Port Sonoma $18.4 million earmark to the San Rafael
Bettini Transit Center.
On July 27, 2016, the
MTC Commission is scheduled to approve a
recommendation to
Caltrans and
FHWA for $3.2 million of the Port Sonoma
earmark to be programmed for the
Bettini Transit Center.
The remainder of the earmark,
$15.2 million, will be going towards the Marin
Sonoma Narrows (MSN).
Caltrans and
FHWA will make a final recommendation in
the August - September timeframe.
The recommended $3.2 million is
sufficient funding to construct an interim
bus transit facility to temporarily
replace the lost bus bays at
Bettini Transit Center when SMART
extends to Larkspur.
TAM funds from
OBAG 2 in the amount of $1,500,000 would
likely not be necessary for the interim
bus facility but could be used to
start environmental and preliminary engineering along with public
outreach on a new facility.
If there are no plans to proceed
on an interim bus transit facility but instead proceed to construct a
permanent new
Bettini Transit
Center,
then the $3.2 million earmark
funds is sufficient for preliminary engineering and
environmental clearance with necessary public outreach. TAM funds
will not be necessary for the transit center.
San Rafael’s highest local
priority is to complete the sidewalk upgrade along Francisco
Boulevard East.
The total funds requested,
reflecting a project cost to complete the improvements from Vivian
Street to the Grand Avenue Bridge, is $5.4 million. Since it will be
difficult to dedicate such a large amount to a single project,
TAM worked with City of San
Rafael staff to identify a portion of the project that could proceed
with a smaller amount of funds.
It is not unusual to build such
an extensive improvement in stages, as a portion of the sidewalk was put
into place from Bellam to Vivian in 2012,
as part of the
widening of the Westbound 580 connector to
Northbound 101 under the State's Proposition 1B Bond program.
San Rafael identified a usable
sidewalk segment from Vivian to the south corner of Harbor Street, which
can be built for approximately $2.2 million.
The 2nd
St. to Anderson Drive bike path
along the SMART right-of-way is the top priority of
MCBC.
The cost of the pathway at
$2.3 million is partially offset by
a commitment from MTC in late November 2015 of $1 million
coming from MTC sources.
This would reduce the TAM
OBAG contribution to $1.3 million.
TAM staff is recommending
dedicating $3.1 million to a combination of these three projects in the
Downtown San Rafael PDA, setting the funds aside, and
deferring a final decision
until more is known about securing the Port Sonoma earmark funds
and determining if a temporary or permanent transit center
facility should proceed.
If the Port Sonoma earmark
dedication of $3.2 million is confirmed by
FHWA and
Caltrans and applied to developing a
permanent new Bettini Transit Center,
then the $3.1 million would be
dedicated to East Francisco Blvd and/or the
2nd St. to Anderson bike path within
the SMART right-of-way.
If the Port Sonoma Earmark is
not confirmed, then the $1.5 million of TAM
OBAG 2 funding for the temporary or
permanent Bettini Transit Center will serve as
initial funding for either facility decision.
If the Port Sonoma
Earmark is confirmed, and no
OBAG funds are needed to proceed with the
transit center work, then,
respecting the city's priority,
and recognizing the critical needs of the Canal Neighborhood in
improving Francisco Blvd East,
the $2.2 million requested by
the City of San Rafael for a logical next phase of the East Francisco
corridor could be programmed.
This would allow a significant
segment of the widened sidewalk/bike path along Francisco Blvd East to
be built,
which a priority project in the
Community Based Transportation Plan (CBT) conducted in concert with the Canal
Neighborhood in 2008.
The Francisco Blvd East
sidewalk is the only project not built from the Canal Neighborhood
CBTP and it remains a very high priority
for the community.
The remainder of the funds,
$800,000, could be applied to the 2nd to
Anderson bike path, substantially within the SMART
right-of-way, with a $500,000 gap in funding that could be sought from
other sources and/or other agencies.
Novato
SMART Station
Novato is requesting $2.9 million for its new SMART station in Downtown
Novato on Grant Avenue. Novato approved the addition of a third SMART
station in Novato, in January 2016, and
has identified funds totaling $2.5 million which has enabled SMART to
construct all of the key components that must be done now for SMART to
operate north and south of that future station site.
There remains a shortfall of $2.9 million for the station to proceed.
The requested $2.9 million is a substantial amount of funds to dedicate
to a single project; given that nearly
$50
mil in need has been identified for $10 mil in funding available.
A
substantial amount of the funds are required to be programmed to
supporting Priority Development Areas, and Novato has not identified any
Priority Development Areas within its limits.
Staff
is recommending that half the requested funds be programmed at $1.45
million.
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10 Page 9 of 10
July 28, 2016
Corte
Madera’s Tamal Vista Blvd Corridor Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements
The Tamal Vista project was one of the highly regarded candidates by the
TAM BPAC.
The BPAC recognized the project was very costly and did not fit into the
smaller amounts of annual funds (TFCA and TDA) TAM receives for
bike/pedestrian improvements.
The BPAC recommended it be considered for OBAG 2 funds. TAM scored the
project and its significance in terms of priority by Corte Madera, and
its usage as a critical link along the North South Greenway resulted in
a strong score. It is right above the cutoff for funding being
available, and
TAM staff did not have sufficient funds to meet the entire request.
However, TAM staff is recommending it be funded with non-federal funds,
which should reduce the cost of delivering the project, as local funds
are much easier to use. Staff recommends $ 892,000 towards the project.
Local
Streets and Roads (LSR) Requests
Since OBAG 2 did not include a set aside for local streets and roads
projects, MPWA agreed among themselves to submit applications in the
amount of $2.639 million for LSR projects.
If approved, the funds would be distributed by a formula of 50%
population and 50% lane miles.
Since
the shares for the smaller jurisdictions were too small and impractical
for federal funds, Novato agreed to exchange federal funds with local
funds for all agencies except Marin County and San Rafael.
Novato would give the smaller agencies 75% in local funds for every
dollar of federal funds received. Marin County and San Rafael would
apply for their own applications.
The
three applications that fall under this arrangement are Novato’s Nave
Drive/Bel Marin Keys Blvd Resurfacing, Marin County’s Sir Francis Drake
Rehabilitation in San Geronimo, and San Rafael’s Street Resurfacing
Program.
Staff
is not recommending funding these projects because of the great demand
from projects that are immediately needed because of the start of SMART
operations,
projects that have regional significance, and projects that are
considered high priority for the County.
Also,
LSR projects get annual funding from TAM and the State from of gas tax
revenues.
In
June, TAM allocated approximately $5.7 million in Measures A and B funds
to LSR projects.
LSR
projects will continue to get funding from TAM and the State on an
annual basis, but
the
opportunity to fund some of the regionally significant projects will be
lost after this OBAG cycle because the next OBAG cycle will not take
place until FY 22/23 and the $3 million in local funds is a one-time
funding source.
While
staff’s recommendations do not include the three applications, they do
include $2.28 million for two LSR projects.
Staff
is recommending $1.134 million for San Anselmo’s SFD Pavement
Rehabilitation and Marin City CSD’s Phillips Drive.
It
should also be noted that under the Major Road category in Measure A,
the West Planning Area still has approximately $937,000 remaining after
the Sir Francis Drake Blvd project near Samuel P. Taylor Park was
completed.
The
West Planning Area encompasses Marin County’s application for SFD Blvd
in San Geronimo.
While
Marin County has plans to use the Measure A funds to rehabilitate SFD
Blvd between Lagunitas Road and Wild Iris Drive, Marin County can use
the funds for the application submitted for OBAG 2.
It
would be a trade-off but the remaining Measure A funds are available for
either segment.
Transit
center in Novato at Redwood and Grant
TAM has been a supporter of Marin Transit's revitalized transit center
in Novato at Redwood and Grant through past dedication of funding.
The project applied for Active Transportation Program funds from MTC and
was awarded funding totaling approximately $1.3 million. In the MTC
program review by the
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10 Page 10 of 10
July 28, 2016
California Transportation Commission (CTC) and Caltrans, a lesser level
of funds was recommended, resulting in a shortfall of $311,000 in the
funds needed for the capital construction of the project.
TAM
staff is recommending $311,000 from local funds which will be available
immediately to Marin Transit for their capital construction needs.
In a
letter dated May 16th, Marin Transit requested a total of $400,000 in
funding from TAM for the Redwood and Grant transit center.
The
additional funds above the ATP program shortfall are for support costs
on the project.
In
Measure A Strategic Plan Update adopted on June 23, 2016, Marin
Transit was credited with an additional $1.8 million from Measure A that
was previously unavailable to them.
These
were funds from the very first year of the Measure A program that were
left off of TAM's very first Strategic Plan due to erroneous
calculations.
The
funds are now newly available to Marin Transit.
TAM
staff recommends that support cost increases for the Redwood and Grant
transit center be funded from the additional $1.8 million received by
Marin transit for this coming fiscal year.
