Subject: TDA FY 2015/2016 Award-Talk the Walk Grant
Dear Mr. Brown,
In April 2016, the City of Chino was awarded Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Bicycle and
Pedestrian Facilities Program funds for a project titled "Talk the Walk" in the amount of $45,617. The City's
contribution was $152,383 from Measure I Local Pass-Through funds.
Since the award of the grant, the addition of an Accessibility Coordinator has helped the City refine its
accessibility needs in the public right-of-way. The City of Chino currently operates and maintains 121 traffic
signals within its jurisdiction. The City has recently received multiple requests from visually-impaired residents to
replace the existing pedestrian push buttons at specified locations with "Accessible Pedestrian Signals" (APS).
APS systems communicate information about the "WALK' and "DON"T WALK" intervals at signalized
intersections in a non-visual format by providing both audible and vibrotactile surface indications, to aid in
crossing signalized intersections. Upon receiving a request, Development Services and Public Works staff
review, document, and verify that the existing traffic signal equipment is adaptable to the installation of an APS
system. A potential intersection requiring an APS system could also be identified by the Accessibility Coordinator.
Therefore, we are requesting to reassign the funds to the procurement of the APS systems which can be
deployed when the city receives a resident request to install them, or near the target areas mentioned above.
This will allow the City to more expeditiously respond to the needs of our residents by having the required
equipment on-hand, and they can be utilized City-wide.
The City will retain the current percentage ratio as stated in the original award, and any additional funds needed,
if any, will be paid out of local funds.
Should you require any additional information, please contact me at (909) 334-3403.
