Proposition KFISCAL YEAR 2012/13 ANNUAL CALL FOR PROJECTS Proposition K (Prop K) was approved in 1989 to collect a one-half of one percent sales tax and use it to finance transportation improvements for the City and County of San Francisco.The Authority allocates funds to eligible projects, and monitors and expedites the delivery of Prop K projects.
Transportation Fund for Clean AirThe Authority is the designated Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Program Manager for San Francisco. In that capacity, it programs approximately $800,000 every year to bicycle, pedestrian and other transportation projects that help improve air quality by reducing motor vehicle emissions. In 2009, the Authority expanded its role under a more thoroughly delegated program that places much of the project selection and oversight duties with the congestion management agencies rather than the Air District. The Authority also provides assistance to project sponsors in applying for regional TFCA funds, programmed directly by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
Proposition AA Vehicle Registration FeeOn July 20, 2010 the Authority Board approved Resolution 11-10 (PDF) which authorized the Final Expenditure Plan (PDF) for a new $10 Vehicle Registration Fee and placed the measure on the November 2010 ballot. In early August, the San Francisco Department of Elections designated the measure as Proposition AA. If approved by the voters, the Proposition AA Vehicle Registration Fee would use the revenues collected from an additional $10 on motor vehicles registered in the City and County of San Francisco for local road repairs, pedestrian safety improvements, and transit reliability improvements throughout the City.
Lifeline Transportation ProgramThe Lifeline Transportation Program (LTP) was established by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to improve mobility for low-income communities, and it is one of the few instances where the Authority has the ability to program funds for operating purposes.
