MATCHING FUNDS THEREFOR
WHEREAS, on Wednesday.. April 12, 2017, the United States Department of
Transportation (DOT) announced application submittals for the Advanced Transportation and
Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Grant; and
WHEREAS, Section 503(c)(4) of Title 23 of the United States Code (23 USC 503(c)(4))
directs the DOT to establish an ATCMTD initiative to provide grants to eligible entities to
develop model deployment sites for large scale installation and operation of advanced
transportation technologies to improve safety, efficiency, system performance, and infrastructure
return on investment; and
WHEREAS, the DOT intends for these model technology deployments to help
demonstrate how emerging transportation technologies, data, and their applications, that also link
to Beyond Traffic — 2045, can be effectively deployed and integrated with existing systems to
provide access to essential services and other destinations; and
WHEREAS, this also includes efforts to increase connectivity to employment, education,
services and other opportunities; support workforce development; or contribute to community
revitalization, particularly for disadvantaged groups: low-income residents, persons with visible
and hidden disabilities, elderly individuals, and minority person and populations; and
WHEREAS, the DOT is particularly interested in deployment programs and projects in
certain areas. . Although applications are not limited to DOT priorities, the City will be
submitting grant application that will meet most of DOT priorities; and
WHEREAS, a single grant recipient may not receive more than $12 million in one Fiscal
Year. The DOT anticipates making not less than 5 and not more than 10 awards each Fiscal
Year; and
WHEREAS, cost sharing or matching is required, with the maximum Federal share being
50 percent (50%); hence, this cost sharing or matching means the portion of project costs not
paid by Federal funds; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because the proposal consists of an administrative funding solicitation without the assurance that
these funds will be procured for future projects. Once the funding is obtained and the projects
clearly defined, then, additional environmental review will be conducted and the appropriate
determination will be made. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
