Fiscal Impact Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) has allocated $500,000 in Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) grant funds to the City of Redding (City) for the California Street Bikeway Project. Alternative Action The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the additional grant funding. In this case, the City would lose $500,000 in grant funding for the project and the City's Public Works Department would need to close the funding gap with local streets funding or traffic impact fee funds. Background/Analysis The CRP funds are available for five years, with 65 percent allocated as "Local" CRP to regional agencies based on a population formula and 35 percent to state departments of transportation. SRTA received CRP funding totaling $657,005 for fiscal years 2022/23 and 2023/24 and administered the local CRP funds for the Shasta Region through a competitive process. As a result, SRTA allocated the City $500,000 to augment the existing California Street Bikeway Project. This project will take place on the west side of California Street, spanning from Division Street to Tehama Street.
