Dear Mr. Meer:
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 for six (6) Morongo Basin Bus Stop Area Improvement Projects
in the amount you requested of $69,192. Regrettably, your Bus Stop Virtual Tours Project did not score high
enough to be awarded TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Improvement Program funding.
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
