FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
If the extension of the Half-Cent Sales Tax is approved, the City
of Dublin will continue to receive funding for road maintenance
projects. The Tri-Valley area will also receive funding for needed
regional transportation projects.
The City currently receives an average of $140,500 per year from
the existing Measure B sales tax program. In the new 20-year
Expenditure Plan, the City would receive approximately $184,300
per year as shown in Attachment 4. If the sales tax extension is not
approved, the City would stop receiving these funds in early 2002.

ITEM NO.
DESCRIPTION: '~ In 1986, voters approved Measure B,a 1/2¢ sales tax, to fund
transportation improvements and programs throughout Alameda County. To date, 85% of the projects
have been delivered. On March 31, 2002, Measure B will sunset.
To address the continued need for local transportation funding, the Alameda County Transportation
Authority developed an Expenditure Plan in 1998 that would guide the spending of an extension of the
existing 1/2¢ sales tax in Alameda County to 2022. The Plan was developed with oversight of a Steering
Committee consisting of elected officials from the ACTA and Alameda County Congestion Management
Agency (CMA) Boards. A forty-member Expenditure Development Committee (EPDC) held 14 public
meetings as well as a number of workshops and outreach meetings to solicit input on the 1998 Plan.
Every City in Alameda County and numerous special interest groups endorsed the Plan.
In June 1998, voters in Alameda County voiced nearly 60% support for an extension of the existing 1/2¢
sales tax originally enacted in Alameda County in 1986. However, that vote fell short of the two-thirds
support now necessary to continue the tax. The election results are shown in Table 1 (see Attachment 3).
After the June 1998 election, the Steering Committee directed ACTA staff to investigate changes
necessary to increase support for the plan, while maintaining the original 58.6% support, and using the
information gathered through the extensive public input process for the 1998 Plan.
In 1998 and 1999, ACTA Staff again solicited additional public input from each of the cities in the
County, special interests and community groups, as well as business, labor, and environmental groups. In
addition, the Steering Committee considered hours of testimony gathered over an 18-month period.
During the fact-finding visits and public input, staff confirmed that deleting projects or reducing funds for
programs would likely generate increased opposition to the plan. At the Steering Committee's direction,
Staff developed a 20-Year Plan to generate additional funds for key programs identified through the
public process, and to conform to legislation that could assist passage of the Expenditure Plan, State
Constitutional Amendment 3 (SCA 3).
The additional revenues from increasing the number of years for the tax was used to continue funding for
the programs - local transportation, transit, and paratransit - for an additional five years, and to increase
funds for paratransit and transit, as well as funding additional programs and projects. The new programs
and projects include:
· Express bus services
· Funds to address gaps between non-mandated/city paratransit programs
· Transit oriented development
· Improvements to the Dumbarton and 1-580 (East) corridors, and
· Funds to address future congestion that develops over the life of the plan.
In summary, the plan allocates approximately 60% of the revenues to programs as shown on the following
page.

* Estimated in 1998 dollars
A detailed breakdown of the expected distributions of these programs is included in Attachment 4. Each
of the programs is described briefly below.
Local Transportation (22.34% overall)
Local Transportation funds are provided to local cities and Alameda County. The funds may be used for
any local transportation need based on local priorities, including streets and roads projects, local transit
projects, bicYcle and pedestrian projects and other transportation uses. The allocations may change in the
future based on changes in population and road mile figures.
Transit Operations (21.92% overall)
Transit operating funds are provided to AC Transit, LAVTA, ACE, Alameda Ferries, and Union City
Transit for maintenance of transit services, restoration of service cuts, expansion of transit services, and
passenger safety and security. The transit operators will determine the priorities for these funds through
public processes and will submit an annual audit to the Agency.
Paratransit Operations (10.45% overall)
Paratransit funding is provided for services mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act to AC
Transit and BART. Funds are also provided for non-mandated paratransit services, aimed at improving
mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities. These funds are provided to the cities in the County
and to Alameda County based on a formula developed by the Alameda County Paratransit Coordinating
Council (PAPCO). Funds for South County will be allocated between mandated and non-mandated
programs on an annual basis by the cities in that part of the County.
Non-Motorized Transportation (5.00 % overall)
These funds are distributed to cities in the County and to Alameda County to be spent to expand and
enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Alameda County, focusing on high priority projects like gap
closures and intermodal connections.
A total of 25% of the funding will be reserved for regional planning and regional projects, including the
preparation of local master plans, design support services to local agencies, funding for a Countywide
Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator position, and funding for high priority regional capital projects identified
in the Countywide Bicycle Plan. The remaining 75% of the funds will be designated as local funds for
bicycle and pedestrian facilities and ADA accessibility that have been prioritized through local or regional
planning processes.

Transit Oriented Development (0.19% overall)
These funds are available to encourage development near transit centers.
for allocating these funds.
The Agency will be responsible
Capital projects included in the plan are shown in Table 2 of Attachment 3.
This draft plan was approved by the Steering Committee in January 2000 and was approved by the ACTA
Board in February 2000. To place this plan on the November 2000 ballot, a majority of the cities
representing a majority of the population must approve the plan and recommend to the Board of
Supervisors to place the plan on the ballot.
Staff recommends that Council adopt the Resolution approving the Alameda County 20-Year
Transportation Expenditure Plan, and authorize the mayor to sign the letter to the Alameda County Board
of Supervisors in support of placing a proposition on the November 2000 ballot to extend the Countywide
one-half of one percent retail sales/use tax.
