Notice of Joint Call for Projects:Pedestrian and Bicycle Program

The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA) and City/County Association of
Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) are pleased to announce a joint call for
projects for the San Mateo County Bicycle and Pedestrian Program.

A total of $3.9 million is available in this solicitation covering FY 2012 (fiscal year 2012
begins July 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2012) and FY 2013 (fiscal year 2013 begins July
1, 2012 and ends June 30, 2013). The 20 cities and County are invited to submit
applications for bicycle and pedestrian related projects. The Call for Projects, which is
scheduled biennially, is funded by a combination of $3,000,000 in the Measure A
Program and $900,000 in TDA Article 3 Program.

Each fund source has different conditions with which project sponsors will need to
comply regarding restrictions on use of funds, project eligibility, project materials
submittals, reporting requirements, fund expirations, and reimbursement processes.

A workshop will be held on March 8, 2011, to provide information for all potential project
sponsors. Since this is a new Call for Project process that involves two funding sources
and new information, attendance at the workshop is strongly encouraged.

Program Focus
The goal of the San Mateo County Bicycle and Pedestrian Program is to fund specific
projects that encourage and improve bicycling and walking conditions in San Mateo
County. Bicycling and walking are sustainable forms of transportation and contribute to
the overall goals of the Measure A Program and Transportation Development Act
(TDA) Article 3 to reduce commute corridor congestion, make regional connections,
enhance safety, and meet local mobility needs.
