RE: Omnitrans Article 3 Transit Stop Access Program – 2016 Awards (Scope Change/Extension)
Dear Ms. Jaiswal:
This letter serves as a response to the Omnitrans’ request to amend the scope for the Transit Stop Access
Program of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 project. In Fiscal Year 2016/17, the
San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors approved grant
awards to various bus stop projects operated by Omnitrans. In total, $273,351 was awarded for 21
bus stops. The project was revised to include 5 stops in Redlands which had $10,001 of the
total award. The completion date for this project is December 31, 2021. Due to unanticipated project
costs, SBCTA concurs with request to amend the project scope to use the TDA Article 3 funds towards
two locations and the removal of four locations within the City of Redlands. These stops to be
improved include:
Southbound Alabama St north of Storage Rd
Eastbound Citrus Ave east of Grove St
The removed locations include:
Westbound Citrus Ave west of Dearborn St
Eastbound Citrus Ave east of Dearborn St
Westbound Lugonia Ave west of University St
Westbound Lugonia Ave west of Grove St
As a friendly reminder, the TDA Article 3 grant award is paid through a reimbursement process upon
completion of the project. It is required that a TDA claim form and supporting documentation of project
completion are submitted to SBCTA prior to disbursement of funds to Omnitrans. The TDA Article 3
grant award is for a maximum reimbursable amount. Should your project exceed the maximum
reimbursable amount, SBCTA will not provide any additional reimbursement. For projects completed
under the awarded amount, SBCTA will reimburse your agency for the TDA Article 3 share of the project
using the match percentage identified in your grant applications.
Upon completion of the projects, please contact Vanessa Schoenewald, Transportation Programming
Analyst, at SBCTA for the TDA Claim Form and filing instructions for the Bicycle/Pedestrian project.
Vanessa can be reached at (909) 884-8276 or vschoenewald@gosbcta.com. Should you
need additional information regarding this matter, please contact Josh Lee, Senior Planner,
