Funding Opportunities

The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is responsible for the planning, programming and allocation of federal, state, regional, and local funding for transportation improvements throughout Alameda County. The investments approved by Alameda CTC result in a wide range of transportation improvements and services that facilitate safe, efficient and accessible travel for all types of transportation in all areas of Alameda County.

The Comprehensive Investment Plan (CIP) brings the vision and goals established through the Alameda CTC’s long-range countywide plans into the near term by focusing funding investments over a five-year programming and allocation period. The purpose of the CIP is to facilitate strategic programming and allocation of all federal, state, regional and local fund sources under the Alameda CTC’s purview. This includes, but is not limited to, federal Surface Transportation Program (STP)/Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ), State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), County Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA), and local sales tax measures and vehicle registration fee programs.
