Background
Alameda County Transportation Commission 2024 CIP
The ACTC mission is to plan, fund and deliver transportation programs and projects that expand access and improve mobility to foster a vibrant and livable Alameda County. This includes the programming of federal, state, regional and local transportation funding. The Comprehensive Investment Plan (CIP) is ACTC’s near-term strategic planning and programming document through which fund sources administered by ACTC are programmed through a consolidated process to maximize investments towards critical transportation infrastructure and program operation needs that are essential for developing and maintaining the county’s transportation system.
ACTC’s 2024 Comprehensive Investment Plan (2024 CIP) released a call for projects for $150.8 million in combined federal One Bay Area Grant Program Cycle 3 (OBAG 3) funding and various ACTC-administered discretionary local funding sources, including Measures B and BB, Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), and Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) for eligible capital projects and programs within Alameda County. The 2024 CIP will program funding anticipated from fiscal years 2023-24 through 2027-28.
On May 10, 2022, ACTC issued the 2024 CIP funding guidelines. Projects must meet the eligibility requirements of the funding sources and programs that are ultimately programmed by ACTC. Additionally, a portion of the available TFCA funding was available to projects ready for implementation in FY 2022-23, including program and shuttle operations. In general, available funding was prioritized towards improvements that demonstrated construction readiness within the first two years of the 2024 CIP, provided safety enhancements, and directly benefited Priority Development Areas and Equity Priority Communities.

On June 7, 2022, City Council prioritized and ranked upcoming projects and adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit applications in response to the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) ATP Cycle 6 Call-for-Projects, ACTC’s 2024 CIP Call For Projects, and any other grant opportunities for the Prioritized Projects that arise in Fiscal Years 2022-2024. The Prioritized Projects and ranked order recommended by staff was:
