TFCA-Funded Grants & Programs
The
County Program Manager Fund
The County Program Manager Fund is a part of the Transportation Fund for
Clean Air (TFCA) grant program, which is funded by a $4 surcharge on motor
vehicles registered in the Bay Area.
Who
Can Apply?
Public agencies in the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (Air
District) jurisdiction can apply for TFCA County Program Manager funds
through their county congestion management agency (CMA). At the discretion
of each CMA, non-public entities may also be eligible to apply for these
funds, but only for certain clean air vehicle projects.
Public
agencies include cities, counties, school districts, transit districts,
and regional and state agencies. The Air District encompasses all of Alameda,
Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties,
and the southern parts of Solano and Sonoma counties.
How
Do You Apply?
Although the Air District must approve applications, applicants apply
directly through each county CMA. If you aren't familiar with your county
CMA, the Air District contact for your county can help you.
