RE: 2017/18 Grove Ave Trail Connection: D St to G St Connection – Extension Request
Dear Ms. Orton:
This letter serves as a response to the City of Ontario’s request to extend the deadline to complete a
bicycle/pedestrian project for the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3. In Fiscal Year
2017/18, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors approved
grant awards to the Grove Ave Trail Connection: D St to G St Connection project in the amount of
$233,387. SBCTA concurs with the request to extend the deadline for the project. The deadline is now
set for December 31, 2021 to allow for completion of the project and reimbursement of the TDA share of
the project cost.
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 the City of Ontario. The TDA
Article 3 grant award is for a maximum reimbursable amount with a 25% local match requirement set
forth in the initial project application. Should your project cost 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
local match percentage.
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 Cameron Brown, Senior Planner, at (909) 884-8276 or
