PROGRAMS & PROJECTS > Transportation Funding
FEDERAL PROGRAMS BACKUP LISTINGS The Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) is a comprehensive, four-year transportation spending plan for the region that lists every transportation project that will receive federal funds or that is subject to a federally required action, such as a review for its impact on air quality. The projects in the FTIP are developed and updated by SJCOG through its member agencies and in cooperation with State and Federal Agencies and the eight San Joaquin Valley counties. 2011 FTIP Draft Documents Available: 2009 FTIP Approved Amendments:
2007 FTIP
The purpose of the Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality (CMAQ) Program is to fund transportation projects or programs that will contribute to attainment or maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone and carbon monoxide. The CMAQ Program supports two important goals of the Department of Transportation: improving air quality and relieving congestion. 2009 CMAQ Call for Projects SJCOG is soliciting projects applications for the FY 2011/12 through FY 2013/14 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program. Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. December 31, 2009.
The Surface Transportation Program (STP) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and local jurisdictions for projects on any Federal-aid highway, including the National Highway System, bridge projects on any public road, transit capital projects, and intracity and intercity bus terminals and facilities. The
New Freedom
Program was implemented with the passage of the Safe Accountable
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)
and funds transportation projects that began after August 15, 2005 and
go beyond the American's With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The
New Freedom program is intended to fill the gaps between social service
and public transportation services. The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides two major sources of funding for the development and support of public transportation needs that exist in California and are allocated to areas of each county based on population, taxable sales and transit performance. Some counties have the option of using LTF for local streets and roads projects, if they can show there are no unmet transit needs.
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District REMOVE II Program
Remove II Program provides incentives for specific projects that will
reduce motor vehicle emissions within the District. The purpose of the
REMOVE II Program is to assist the District in attaining the
requirements of the California Clean Air Act. LOCAL PROGRAMS The Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) imposes a one time fee on new residential and non-residential development to mitigate impacts from increased congestion and complete substantial improvements.
