The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is Santa Clara County’s Congestion Management Agency (CMA) and is responsible for local project solicitation, evaluation, and selection.
The One Bay Area Grant Program integrates the region’s federal transportation program with California’s climate law (Senate Bill 375, Steinberg, 2008) and the Sustainable Communities Strategy. Santa Clara county OBAG 3 funding target amount is $91 million.
Funding targets to the counties consider progress toward achieving local land-use and housing policies codified in Plan Bay Area 2050 by:
- Rewarding jurisdictions that accept housing allocations through the Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) process and support housing through transportation projects.
- Supporting the Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Bay Area by promoting transportation investments in Priority Development Areas (PDAs).
- Allowing flexibility to invest in transportation categories such as Transportation for Livable Communities, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, local streets and roads preservation, safe routes to school, and mobility management.
