RE: Apple Valley Bear Valley Road Class I Bike Path Connectivity Project
Dear Julie Ryan,
It is our pleasure to inform you that on November 5, 2025, the San Bernardino County Transportation
Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors (Board) approved funding in the amount of $250,000 from the
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program for the Apple
Valley Bear Valley Road Class I Bike Path Connectivity Project (preconstruction only). The SBCTA Board
set the period of time for completion of your project to comply with TDA provisions, therefore this project
must be completed by June 30, 2029.
Please note the following important funding requirements:
•A (1) signed Claim Form and (2) and Authorizing Resolution Authorized Resolution must be
submitted within six months (by May 07, 2026) of project award notification, or prior to requesting
reimbursement of funds, whichever comes first. A sample resolution can be found at
www.gosbcta.com/tda3 under the Claims section.
•Completion of an Annual Proof of Progress Report (Annual Report) must be submitted on the
FIRST anniversary of award notification AND by June 30 for all subsequent years thereafter. The
annual report must include:
o A description of the work completed during the year,
o An estimate of the total project percent completed, and
o An estimate of the amount spent to-date.
•Funds will be rescinded if no progress has been made within ONE year of award notification or if,
where appropriate, a construction contract has not yet been awarded within THREE years of award
notification.
Additionally, the TDA Article 3 award is paid through a reimbursement process. The 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, the local match
percentage of 50.00% ($250,000) as identified in your grant application will apply to the adjusted total.
Sponsor agencies receiving an allocation of $200,000 or less shall be reimbursed in arrears and upon proof of
satisfactory project completion. Agencies receiving an allocation of $200,000 or more may request progress
payments for a minimum of 20% of the award total; however, 20% of the awarded funds shall be held by
SBCTA until proof of satisfactory project completion.
Congratulations on submitting a successful grant application. We look forward to the timely completion of
your project. Should you have any questions please contact me at (909) 884-8276 or gkoblasz@gosbcta.com.
