Dear Ms. Rahtz:
Congratulations, it is our pleasure to inform you that the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG)
Board of Directors approved funding from the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article 3 Transit Stop
Access Improvement Program, to forty-six (46) of the system-wide bus stop locations identified in your
application proposal in the amount of $168,852. It should be noted that two of the stops for which you
thth
requested funding, 4 Street at Baker Street and Euclid Avenue at 5 Street, were not approved for funding
during this cycle since they were awarded funding in a previous Article 3 Transit Stop Access Improvement
Program Call for Projects.
The TDA Article 3 award is considered a grant and is paid through a reimbursement process and the filing of a
TDA claim, including proper documentation of project expenditure. The award is for a maximum reimbursable
amount. Should your project exceed the maximum reimbursable amount, SANBAG will not provide any
additional reimbursement. For projects completed under the awarded amount, SANBAG will reimburse your
agency for the LTF share of the project using the match percentage identified in your grant application. The
SANBAG Board also set the period of time for completion of your project to comply with TDA provisions,
therefore the project funded under this letter of award must be completed by June 30, 2016.
Enclosed you will find a copy of your allocation and claim form instructions. Your grant allocation amount has
been submitted to the auditor controller. At the time of reimbursement request, a completed claim form must be
submitted to SANBAG as well as additional documentation supporting your request. Reimbursement requests
may be emailed to Monica Morales at mmorales@sanbag.ca.gov.
Again, congratulations on being successful with your candidate project. We look forward to the rapid
implementation of your project. Should you have any questions please contact me at (909) 884-8276 or
vjezik@sanbag.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Jezik
Transportation Programming Analyst
