EXHIBIT A
The MTC TOC and CPI grants are funded through the One Bay Area Grant program adopted by the MTC in May 2012 to better integrate the region’s federal transportation program with California’s climate law (Senate Bill 375, Steinberg, 2008) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy. The current, third cycle of the One Bay Area Grant program was adopted in January 2022 to fund projects and programs that improve safety, spur economic development and help the Bay Area meet climate change and air quality improvement goals. MTC adopted the TOC Policy, which requires Bay Area jurisdictions to meet specific land use, access, and parking criteria to qualify for regional transit and/or transportation funding. The City’s grant -funded projects are designed to support and advance compliance with these TOC Policy requirements. The MTC requires grant awardees to adopt a Resolution of Local Support as a requirement of the grant award process.
Upon City Council approval, the City will finalize efforts to enter into the required agreements with the MTC that would allow the City to be eligible to receive federal grant funding for the five awards made by MTC. Additional information on the planned projects is shown below:
Station Access and Circulation Project - TOC
This project will advance the City’s compliance with the station access and circulation component of the Transit -Oriented Communities Policy. It will involve an update to the City’s multimodal transportation improvement plans and urban village plans, ensuring that these plans would comply with MTC’s TOC policy. Additionally, the project will develop new station access and circulation plans for transit -oriented communities not already covered by City -approved plans or VTA’s station access studies. All aspects of this project will involve a robust stakeholder and community engagement process, to gather input, ensure equity, and build consensus.
Parking Management Project - TOC
This project will advance the City’s compliance with the parking component of the TOC Policy. It will involve a citywide review of existing policies and conditions, as well as stakeholder engagement to identify improvements to the City’s existing Transportation Demand Management Program, update the soft parking maximums, and research the development of transportation management associations. With support from this grant, the City will further the significant strides it has made in parking policies to reduce automobile use and advance its goal of carbon neutrality by 2030.

The City will install public EV and electric bike chargers at six City -owned facilities in underserved San José neighborhoods that currently lack public charging access.
Chargers will be added to the Mayfair, Bascom, Hank Lopez, Roosevelt, and Seven Trees Community Centers, as well as the Educational Park Library. The project includes four Direct Current Fast Charging ports, 60 Level 2 charging ports, and 30 micro- mobility secured charging ports. These facilities will support electric vehicles and electric bike riders, fostering clean multimodal transportation for residents and visitors.
Advancing Curb Management Project - CPI
This project will continue the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation Stage 1- funded Curb Management Pilot by implementing data -informed curb reallocation, piloting additional technologies, and building a public -facing platform within the San José downtown core. The City anticipates decreased greenhouse gas emissions and increased safety as a result.
Projects will be funded through $5,195,000 in federal grant funds administered by MTC.
The two TOC grants total $700,000 and have no local match requirement. The two CPI grants total $4,495,000 and require a total local match of $582,375. Pending the execution of the grant agreements, these funds will be recommended to be programmed as part of the Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 Mid- Year budget process or other future budget process. Tables 1 – 4 below indicate anticipated Expenditures and Revenue for each of the four TOC grant projects.
