TransportationCommission | 2012-04-25 | 3 | Tess Lengyel replied it specifically is written in the plan that all funding in the plan must serve Alameda County. So, they are going to work with BART to ensure that they use the funds to serve the county. Commissioner Bellows stated the plan is comprehensive and very ambitious. She wanted to know what were the projections or assumptions used for the revenue stream. She knew previously that revenues dropped down due to the economy, so what types of assumptions were made. Tess Lengyel replied they looked at different level of projections each year with a 2-3 percent increase so it is conservative. Commissioner Bellows stated over time because previously it was 4 percent. Tess Lengyel replied they were year-by-year projections. Also, it is cumulative, but it is a percentage point above and stepped increases are used and follow the local indices. Commissioner Vargas asked as a small business owner what kind of small business goals does this program have. He mentioned various advisory committees, but will there be one for this element. Tess Lengyel explained they have a strong Local Business Contract Equity program. This program has a 70 percent requirement when using only Measure B funds and 30 percent for all local business enterprise. ACTC has exceeded their goals and continue to do SO. If they have state or federal funds, the local contracting requirements are trumped by the state or federal requirements. Commissioner Vargas referred to slide 13 and specifically public transit operations. Ms. Lengyel mentioned that 24 percent of the funds go to transit operations, but she did not mention the dollar amount. Tess Lengyel replied 48 percent of transit operations investment would go to transit, including operations and capital investment, and 34 percent would go to operations. She went on to say that it includes AC Transit, Altamont Commuter Express, BART maintenance, Wheels, Union City Transit and other East Bay transit operators and the Student Transit Pass Program equaling $1.85 billon. Additionally, specialized transit for seniors and the disabled would equal $747 million. Commissioner Vargas said he missed the meeting where the consultants spoke about the 23rd and 29th I-880 project. However, there was a question about the Park Street triangle and whether or not it was included in the TEP. So, he wanted to know if there are funds for the project within this program? Tess Lengyel replied the project is not specifically called out. Page 3 of 14 | TransportationCommission/2012-04-25.pdf |
