WHEREAS, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) updated its policies and
procedures for Transportation Development Act, Article 3 (TDA 3), Pedestrian and Bicycle
funding on June 26, 2013. The new policies and procedures include a requirement that each

representation within Alameda County; and

total), one appointee for each supervisorial district, selected by the Mayors' Conference (five
total), and one appointee representing transit agencies; and

geographic and jurisdictional coverage of the County, as the Alameda County Supervisorial
Districts include all areas and jurisdictions within the County; and

perspective towards bicycle and pedestrian planning and project prioritization; and
WHEREAS, through the collective knowledge of the 11 committee members, the
Alameda CTC BPAC has comprehensive awareness of the needs of cyclists and pedestrians of
the entire County; and

prioritize TDA Article 3 bicycle and pedestrian projects in Alameda County since 2005, and it
remains well-positioned to continue in this role; and

use this body as a qualified Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee for TDA 3 purposes; and

BPAC as a qualified Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee for TDA 3 in lieu of a local agency
forming their own advisory committee provided that each jurisdiction:
