Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Tanisha,
The Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) is pleased to present its final recommendations for the 2023 Active Transportation Program (ATP) MPO Component for consideration by the California Transportation Commission.
Per the Amended 2023 ATP fund estimate adopted by the Commission on August 17, 2022, $8,847,000 was made available to TCAG to program projects through its MPO component. With agencies contributing $4,054,000 in matching funds, a total of $12,901,000 in ATP projects will be programmed in the TCAG region through the 2023 ATP MPO Component. A supplemental call for projects was not conducted. The projects were evaluated and scored by a multi- disciplinary committee in accordance with the Statewide and TCAG MPO Component Project Selection Guidelines. The scoring committee recommended funding four projects. The TCAG Board of Directors approved the adoption of the scoring committee’s recommendations at their February 27, 2023 meeting. The projects recommended for funding will provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit pedestrians and bicyclists, including students walking and bicycling to and from school.
The projects not recommended for funding will be placed on a contingency project list. In the event of project delivery failure and/or cost savings from the recommended projects, projects on the contingency list could be offered ATP funding starting with the highest scoring non- funded project. The contingency list will remain active until the beginning of the next ATP cycle.
TCAG’s MPO component funding recommendations meet the statewide ATP guideline requiring that at least 25% of a region’s funds benefit disadvantaged communities. Under this cycle, 100% of the funds available to the region will benefit disadvantaged communities.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Gabriel Gutierrez at (559) 623-0465 or by email at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Ted Smalley, Executive Director

Description of Unbiased Project Selection Method
Agencies in Tulare County submitted 19 projects for funding consideration in the 2023 ATP Statewide Component. Four projects were recommended for funding under the Statewide Component. They are the:
• City of Dinuba, Building Dinuba’s Active Transportation Future, ATP Award:
$13,147,000, Total Project Cost: $17,235,00. The City of Dinuba’s project encompasses six smaller segments that were each separately submitted for ATP funding consideration. As such, all of Dinuba’s ATP grant application submittals in the 2023 ATP Program were approved for funding.
• City of Visalia, Houston Community Connectivity Project, ATP Award and Total Project Cost: $2,385,000
• City of Porterville, HAWK Pedestrian Crossings Project, ATP Award:
$1,519,000, Total Project Cost: $1,859,000
The remaining 10 unfunded applications were evaluated and scored by the multidisciplinary advisory group for consideration of funding in the MPO component. Each member of the advisory group was provided a copy of each application and briefed on the scoring criteria and scoring process. The final score for each project was determined by averaging the total score submitted by each advisory group member. This score was then added to the total score for the criteria evaluated by TCAG staff.
The multidisciplinary advisory group members provided scores for the following scoring criteria:
• Potential for Increased Walking and Bicycling
• Potential for reducing the Number of Pedestrian and Bicycling Fatalities and Injuries
• Public Participation and Planning
• Scope Plan and Consistency
TCAG staff provided a score for the following scoring criteria:
• Disadvantaged Communities
• Leveraging
• Past Performance
• Project Need
The multidisciplinary advisory group and TCAG staff evaluated and scored the projects in accordance with the adopted Statewide and MPO Component ATP Guidelines. Based on the scores provided by the Committee, staff developed a list of recommended projects beginning with the highest scoring project and continuing down the list until the available $8.847 million of MPO Component ATP funds was exhausted. The following table lists the scores received by each of the projects.

1 Visalia requested $3 million in ATP funds for its Goshen-Visalia Corridor (GVC) Improvement Project. However, after fully funding the first three highest-scoring projects, only $795k of ATP funds remained. The City was offered and accepted the remaining ATP funds. In addition to the ATP funds, a combination of other fund sources will be used to fully fund the project. 2 As described in the TCAG MPO Component Project Selection Guidelines, additional points can be awarded to projects for various scoring criteria categories. For this reason, there is one project that had a total score greater than 100.
