GRANT SUMMARY
The City has recently secured the following grant funds through a competitive selection process:
One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 (OBAG2)
The OBAG2 program is funded with a mix of federal Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) funds and Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funds. The projects must either be in, or directly serve a Priority Development Area (PDA). PDAs are locations defined by the cities and towns and approved by the Association of Bay Area Governments for more intense development around high frequency transit services. In May 2016, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) released the OBAG2 call for projects. A total of 27 projects were submitted and only 15 were selected for award of grant funds. The City submitted the following 7 projects requesting $10,581,920 in OBAG2 grant funds with a local match totaling $2,463,266:
? Peery Park Sense of Place Improvements - $3,400,000 ($2,686,000 grant / $714,000 local match)
? East Sunnyvale Area Sense of Place - Transit/Bike/Pedestrian Upgrades - $3,857,500 ($3,047,425 grant / $810,075 local match)
? Fair Oaks Avenue Bikeway and Streetscape - $990,500 ($782,495 grant / $208,005 local match)
