RESOLUTION NO. 49-92
CITY/COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS
POLICY ON ADMINISTRATION OF AB 434
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance and direction
for the administration of AB 434 funds.
AB 434 provides authority to the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District (BAAQMD) to impose a $2.00 surcharge fee on motor
vehicles registered within the BAAQMD to become effective April
1, 1992. This fee can be raised to $4.00 effective October 1,
1992, or thereafter by resolution of the BAAQMD.
The fee is collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles and
distributed to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
The funds are then divided into two separate categories: 1) 60%
is administered by BAAQMD, 2) 40% is reserved for the County
Program Manager.
AB 434 specifies seven types of transportation projects or
programs. These projects are listed in the eligibility criteria
section of this policy. Only public agencies are eligible to
receive funding.
To administer the program, the County Program Manager will be
allowed to use the entire administrative budget allowed by law
(5%). Therefore any administrative cost incurred by a
successful claimant will have to be financed by that claimant.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The following objectives will be used by C/CAG in evaluating
projects. The objectives are used to establish eligibility
criteria and priorities.
1. Reduce air pollution from motor vehicles.
Fund the most effective transportation programs
and projects that achieve emission reductions from
motor vehicles, pursuant to the California Clean Air
of 1988 and the Bay Area 1991 Clean Air Plan.
Implement AB 434 funding as quickly, simply, and
efficiently as possible within the constraints of the
law.
e
Be as equitable as possible while continuing to support
other program objectives.
