This category is meant to advance an idea or concept in a cpt to more fundable viable project. 37 00:07:29.090 --> 00:07:39.200 Judis Santos: This would include supporting the preliminary engineering or design of a project. For example. a potential project example could be improving an intersection because of flooding 38 00:07:39.580 --> 00:07:49.509 Judis Santos: this category was created to catch some of the long standing higher priority projects, to give them a boost in project development. To be more competitive for additional funding. 39 00:07:50.130 --> 00:08:07.999 Judis Santos: The second big category is high priority neighborhood project implementation. This category is a result of participatory budgeting pilots. The Grant program is met to fund projects resulting from a participatory budging process or an extensive robust community engagement process. 40 00:08:08.090 --> 00:08:34.639 Judis Santos: Project type examples include bus stop enhancements quick build, pedestrian bicycle transit improvements and sidewalks, etc. The last big category is a new one called community Power Billing and engagement.

A consultant team, preferably for parability and nonprofit or cbo will be procured to support the work. 53 00:11:17.420 --> 00:11:30.089 Judis Santos: Projects will be evaluated, based on meeting fund, source, eligibility, requirements, and the following proposed evaluation criteria which include supporting the development of initiatives of projects to close the race and equity gap. 54 00:11:30.300 --> 00:11:35.250 Judis Santos: support a diverse range of eligible land use and transportation activities 55 00:11:35.270 --> 00:11:45.640 Judis Santos: be within and benefit empty C's equity, priority communities and or priority populations. The inclusive and equitable have an equitable engagement. 56 00:11:45.670 --> 00:11:52.029 Judis Santos: and to demonstrate partnerships between Cbos and local government among jurisdictions, transit agencies, and counties. 57 00:11:54.490 --> 00:12:12.849 Judis Santos: in addition to ensure consistency with the implementation of county and regional plans and priorities, as well as discussion and coordination and developing investment proposals, projects co- nominated by Mtc. And it will be given extra consideration if meeting regional goals and priorities 58 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:40.880 Judis Santos: for project nomination, a call for interest. The phase that we're in now was initiated to learn the extent of community based needs who participates in in the call for interest. phase the project type and for for how much to inform community based investment priority categories, percentage edge allocation for each category and overall grant design implementation and evaluation. 59 00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:58.879 Judis Santos: Mtc. May consider projects that would be implemented region-wide, or in more than one county where applicable Mtc. Staff will work with Ttas coordinate on co nominations for regional projects. And lastly, there is a proposed minimum county nomination target of 1 million. 60 00:13:01.710 --> 00:13:19.410 Judis Santos: The proposed project priorities at prioritization and selection process is designed to quickly distribute funds to impactful and to impactful investments throughout the region to meet fun, source completion requirements. This process is similar to Mtc safe and seamless. Quick strike program. 61 00:13:19.590 --> 00:13:34.930 Judis Santos: We first start with a call for interest phase with surveys of middle deadline on on July 20 first, which is this Friday, then preliminary view for project ideas, meeting foundational requirements and goals and objectives will be conducted. 62 00:13:35.110 --> 00:13:57.930 Judis Santos: Project sponsors will be contacted and work with proposers to potentially submit a project application with detailed scope, delivery schedule funding plan. How the project meets the program eligibility, requirements and evaluation, international and evaluation criteria, and how well, the proposed project sponsor meets State and Federal Funding Gu funding requirements. 63 00:13:57.940 --> 00:14:16.159 Judis Santos: Cts will need to provide resolutions of local support for O. Bag and for tip and project applications will be evaluated, ending with Mtc. Commission. Current consideration and approval of projects and funding and and fund program fund programming. In October, December 64 00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:17.990 Judis Santos: of this year. 65 00:14:22.830 --> 00:14:24.200 Judis Santos: Next slide, please. 66 00:14:26.370 --> 00:14:51.580 Judis Santos: This concludes the presentation portion of the meeting, and we have about oh, yeah, about what 40 min or so 45 min. We have questions here or feel free to ask a question or comment by raising your virtual hand or typing it into to the chat, and I'll hand it over to keynote to facilitate. any. Q. A. And discussion 67 00:14:54.690 --> 00:15:06.869 Kỳ-Nam Miller: sounds good. Yeah. So as you just just mentioned, you can. answer your questions in the Q. A. Or you know there's 11 of us here, so feel. Don't feel shy about Raising your hand to voice your questions. But 68 00:15:07.060 --> 00:15:13.929 Kỳ-Nam Miller: so just do you want to start just with the prompts grafted up top here about having a partnership in mind? You need further information and 69 00:15:14.810 --> 00:15:28.580 Judis Santos: sure. the first question, do you have a partnership in mind, or do you need further information? And how can Mtc. Support? Are there any informational needs that you may, you may You may want to see 70 00:15:32.780 --> 00:15:42.430 Judis Santos: Or are there any ch any challenges that you're anticipating? And are there any opportunities. 71 00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:51.849 Kỳ-Nam Miller: I'm gonna hold up 72 00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:54.260 Kỳ-Nam Miller: the participant list and see if 73 00:15:55.790 --> 00:16:01.660 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Debbie, Diane, Isaiah, John Kim. 74 00:16:02.070 --> 00:16:03.249 Kỳ-Nam Miller: you have any questions 75 00:16:04.330 --> 00:16:07.010 Kỳ-Nam Miller: you need to raise your hand. And oh, Isaiah, go ahead. 76 00:16:09.110 --> 00:16:28.919 Isaiah Burton: Hi, so we're working on community based transportation plans in Dixon and Rio Vista in Dixon we have equity priority communities but not in Rio Vista, so I was wondering if you could maybe explain a little bit how that might affect the proposal process especially for Rio Vista, not having any equity priority communities. 77 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:51.400 Judis Santos: So the the focus of the program is to invest in equity priority communities. So I believe so as far as the project idea. for example, if it's like a safe for us to school. we'll be looking at. You know 78 00:16:51.680 --> 00:17:07.250 Judis Santos: how the project idea fulfill some of the goals and objectives. so, and we'll also look at location and and where where the location where the project is located, as well as who it's benefiting. 79 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:10.860 Isaiah Burton: Thank you so much. 80 00:17:11.329 --> 00:17:12.329 Judis Santos: You're welcome. 81 00:17:13.670 --> 00:17:16.530 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Kayla. Hold on! You should 82 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:18.079 Kỳ-Nam Miller: be able to 83 00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:20.430 Kỳ-Nam Miller: talk now. There you go. 84 00:17:21.869 --> 00:17:46.559 Mikaela Hiatt: Okay. Awesome. Thank you quickly following up to that question. so for us in Nevada we don't have any Epcs or they they but they have a Cbtp that they've had for a few years now. So just wanted to. I know you mentioned the locations, but just wanted to confirm that, even though they don't have any of those designations and communities, they would still be encouraged to submit a letter of interest. Is that correct? 85 00:17:47.240 --> 00:18:17.080 Judis Santos: Yes, they can. submit an an idea through the through the survey. a, a, an official lot of interest isn't required is is, you know, just basically, can I respond to that online? so you know, feel free to submit a project date idea. If a project is not located within an Epc, please also look at whether it's located in one of the other priority populations that that that was on the slide. 86 00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:23.689 Judis Santos: yes, and also encouraged to to describe 87 00:18:23.810 --> 00:18:32.150 Judis Santos: who will be benefiting from the project, particularly low income. And where the project is located. 88 00:18:32.380 --> 00:18:44.139 Mikaela Hiatt: Okay, awesome. Thank you. I do have another question just about the role of the Ctas in this as well. and I know that in the previous webinar there was discussion of this 89 00:18:44.140 --> 00:19:07.350 Mikaela Hiatt: generally working together to recommend that a minimum hopefully target of project proposals. I'm guessing that's due to the Federal nature of the program. But just cut was hoping that you would be able to provide a little bit more clarity on whether or not we would need to be co-sponsors on those applications as well, or co- applicants, or if it would just be kind of recommendations and support for the cities and transit agencies as well. 90 00:19:08.340 --> 00:19:11.540 Judis Santos: So this, how? 91 00:19:11.620 --> 00:19:35.670 Judis Santos: How we're structuring This program is similar to to lifeline, and that we're working through through Cpas So so, for example, once the call for interest is that that the timeframe is closed. We'll work with the Ctas in A and and reviewing projects that were submitted within within the county, and also to work with a a a project 92 00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:41.650 Judis Santos: sponsors and and applicants to further develop their their, their project and scope. 93 00:19:44.250 --> 00:19:56.440 Kỳ-Nam Miller: So before we get to Diane, you, we have a question in the Q. A. Box from Kim, who says the teammate told them. Then I'll all survey questions need to be answered for some projects, and can you clarify? 94 00:19:58.390 --> 00:20:25.630 Judis Santos: I'm sorry. Say, see that again in this in the survey Kim says that one of their teammates told them that not all survey questions need to be answered for some projects. Is that the case? That's right. That's right. there is. there is like one section that is required, like basically your contact information. but the other questions are optional, depending on what project? In what? category you're You're selecting? 95 00:20:25.630 --> 00:20:30.469 so it'll direct you to what are, what questions you need to answer. 96 00:20:31.570 --> 00:20:32.920 Kỳ-Nam Miller: And here's Diane. 97 00:20:35.030 --> 00:20:41.640 John (Dianne's colleague): and you can talk about. Oh, this is actually Diane's colleague, Mike pick for 98 00:20:41.770 --> 00:21:04.140 John (Dianne's colleague): I I guess she just forwarded me the invite. I was curious, actually, based on your previous answer. If you could describe a little bit how the focus of this program is different from lifeline. I think we have been picturing lifeline as an opportunity to find some operations projects. And it seems like that's not really the emphasis of this program. So if you could clarify a little bit, that'd be great. 99 00:21:05.060 --> 00:21:26.239 Judis Santos: that's that's correct. I we actually well, this morning sent out an F. FAQ. From information session, one which asked the question about you know, what's what's the difference between care and and legacy lifeline. So the like. So the lifeline program 100 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:41.960 Judis Santos: traditionally had a a a number of fun sources. so the the last lifeline cycle cycle cycle. 6 only had a 5307, and no longer had State transit assistance funds. 101 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:52.140 Judis Santos: So the impetus for redesign lifeline came from that. The community based transportation. 102 00:21:52.140 --> 00:22:19.340 Judis Santos: A needs did not match the set of fun sources that were available to lifeline. And so because of that The State transit assistance portion of lifeline went away and was was transitioned to the county block ground. So now county transportation agencies have the choice to have their own lifeline program, or they can decide not to have one. 103 00:22:19.340 --> 00:22:45.449 Judis Santos: So the State transit assistance funds did not go away. So if the county decides to use and fund a lifeline like program on their own, they're welcome to do that, so that that funding still is still in place. So this program for for care, it's mainly funded by O bag 3. And the one time read funds, and the focus is mainly to 104 00:22:45.450 --> 00:22:53.410 Judis Santos: to give projects a boost to advance communities. Transportation plan projects as well as to link 105 00:22:53.420 --> 00:23:04.689 Judis Santos: planning with Pb type processes or robust, robust community engagement processes, and also to address the need for 106 00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:10.319 Judis Santos: strengthening community engagement and support by Ceos and and local government 107 00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:15.419 Kỳ-Nam Miller: cool. next up. We have a question from 108 00:23:15.570 --> 00:23:23.559 Kỳ-Nam Miller: John. and that the different John this one is in order to submit a project application. Do you have to fill out a letter of interest to be considered. 109 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:52.049 Judis Santos: Not at this point, for the survey is, is just listing out your project idea. You know a short description as well as a cost estimate later on, down, when once we enter the call for project stage, then a letter of a letter and and a a resolution or or board for the local support will be, will be a requirement. 110 00:23:52.260 --> 00:23:53.820 Judis Santos: During that process 111 00:23:55.030 --> 00:24:05.189 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Lauren led there, asks, Is it possible to extend the deadline for a letter of interest to next week. It's difficult to coordinate both internally with local agencies on such a short timeline. 112 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:19.049 Judis Santos: So so it's it's not a letter of interest. So you don't have to have a letter? it's, you know, submitting an idea through the survey and so does that 113 00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:22.319 Judis Santos: change the question or request? 114 00:24:22.780 --> 00:24:27.690 Kỳ-Nam Miller: I'm going to allow Lauren to talk. If if that works. 115 00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:40.689 Lauren Ledbetter: I just use the wrong terminology, it's we're having a. It's just kind of challenging with vacations to coordinate internally and then reach out to our local agency staff. to make sure they have enough time to submit the the form 116 00:24:40.820 --> 00:24:42.290 Lauren Ledbetter: that's due tomorrow. 117 00:24:42.470 --> 00:24:53.529 Lauren Ledbetter: and we wanted to make sure we we had a full complement of potential projects to you. so I just. I don't know if you have any flexibility at all or not. I know you're also on timelines. 118 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.470 Judis Santos: so you know my initial 119 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:10.119 Judis Santos: response would be we we do have a tight timeline, because, these projects need to be you know, implemented and completed 120 00:25:10.170 --> 00:25:15.219 Judis Santos: by June 2026. And there's contracting that needs to be done. So 121 00:25:15.560 --> 00:25:18.060 Judis Santos: My initial, I mean. 122 00:25:18.930 --> 00:25:25.900 Judis Santos: I could. We can. We could extend it until Tuesday. if that is helpful. 123 00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:30.460 Lauren Ledbetter: I would say, even just Tuesday is helpful. 124 00:25:30.730 --> 00:25:35.290 Judis Santos: Okay, okay, so we can, we can consider that 125 00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:39.959 Lauren Ledbetter: much appreciated. Thank you. 126 00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:44.729 Kỳ-Nam Miller: And then Michaela's got her hand raised again. 127 00:25:45.470 --> 00:26:12.160 Mikaela Hiatt: Thanks. Yeah, just quickly following up to Lauren's question. I think we're having a similar problem of just getting in touch with everybody just due to vacation schedule. So just wanted also to see like, if once this survey is submitted, and what the call for projects is open. if there are other projects that are different than the ones that are submitted within our county. Would there be any sort of prioritization, like associated with projects that were submitted in the Survey versus those that were just submitted for the call for projects. Okay. 128 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.629 Judis Santos: so it says, no. And so for the 129 00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:31.100 Judis Santos: I mean for the ones that are submitted, you know, within the deadline you have, you know, there's more opportunity to to work with staff to further develop the application and receive feedback. So I think that's the the main difference. 130 00:26:33.340 --> 00:26:38.749 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Kim is asking about how and when this Tuesday deadline will be communicated. 131 00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:43.000 Judis Santos: so I'll send it out to 132 00:26:43.020 --> 00:26:47.430 Those that attended the information number info info session number one. 133 00:26:47.490 --> 00:26:53.229 Judis Santos: as well as we can post it on the website as well as 134 00:26:54.230 --> 00:27:02.999 Judis Santos: We can set up oops. sent an email to our county transportation authorities and and our trans agency list serves. 135 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:09.310 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Should we include the attendees for this one, too, as well they can forward it. Yeah. 136 00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.710 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Well. 137 00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:22.700 Kỳ-Nam Miller: should give people a minute to marinate on any other questions, but it appears we may have exhausted the questions on deck from our attendees. 138 00:27:25.810 --> 00:27:32.250 Judis Santos: I just wanted to expand on the the previous question. you know. 139 00:27:32.530 --> 00:27:41.669 Judis Santos: we encourage you to submit. if you're gonna to respond to the call for projects. We strongly encourage that. You submit. 140 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:49.399 Judis Santos: a project idea, so that there's a preliminary review. because, you know, it would 141 00:27:49.570 --> 00:27:55.619 Judis Santos: the most fruitful to get and put early on 142 00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:08.239 Judis Santos: versus doing all the work for call for projects, and then there may be like a slight tweak that it could have made the application or project more competitive. 143 00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:15.090 Kỳ-Nam Miller: See this, he makes a request to send the word document with the survey. 144 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:18.420 Judis Santos: I'm sure. 145 00:28:20.350 --> 00:28:21.210 Kỳ-Nam Miller: all right. 146 00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:26.320 Kỳ-Nam Miller: Any other questions from the audience. 147 00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:38.089 Kỳ-Nam Miller: I think, are in that. It's 1 30. So a nice, quick 30 min meeting would also go well for recording. that we can share back with folks later. 148 00:28:42.050 --> 00:28:48.640 Kỳ-Nam Miller: So yeah, with that. thank you all for attending to us any final words before we shut off the webinar. 149 00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:56.189 Judis Santos: Submit those product ideas, and you know, simple, brief to the point is much appreciated. 150 00:28:57.420 --> 00:28:59.330 Kỳ-Nam Miller: All right. Have a nice afternoon.
