Hello Joe,
MCAG has received the FY 22/23 Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Exchange Program Standard Agreement contract from Caltrans. It is important to note that the Caltrans contract is based on an estimated RSTP apportionment figure that Caltrans has received from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). If the FINAL year-end RSTP figure is determined to be higher or lower than the RSTP estimate for any number of reasons, the distribution amounts can be modified (in the current contract year or future year apportionments).
On June 15, 2023, the MCAG Governing Board adopted the FY 22/23 RSTP Exchange Program Apportionment Schedule and authorized the release of RSTP Exchange Claim Forms to the member agencies.
Member agencies are required to do two things to claim the RSTP funds:
1) Submit a signed RSTP Exchange Program Claim Form; and 2) Submit a city council-approved RSTP Exchange Program Resolution.
Samples of both items are included with this letter. Please return the signed RSTP Exchange Claim Form and city council-approved resolution as soon as possible.
The FY 21/22 RSTP Exchange Program amount available for the City of Merced to claim is $1,248,748.00.
Please contact me, by phone (723-3153 x 129) or email ([email protected]), if you have any questions.
Regards,
Blake Dunford
Associate Planner
