Requesting an Allocation

Operating allocations are normally made prior to the start of the fiscal year for which assistance is being requested. Requests should thus be submitted to MTC by April 15th . If an operating request or revision is being submitted during the fiscal year, please submit the request at least 45 days prior to the Programming and Allocations Committee meeting where the allocation will be considered (generally meets on the second Wednesday of each month).

Please submit your request electronically to Cheryl Chi, cchi@mtc.ca.gov with the following attachments completely filled out.  Please refer to Appendix B of the RM2 Policies and Procedures for a description of the documents listed below.

  1. Operating Assistance Proposal (Excel)
  2. Agency Board Resolution approving the Operating Assistance Proposal and authorizing the application for RM-2 funds (Word)
  3. Opinion of Legal Counsel (Word)
    (use only if you wish to take the Opinion of Legal Counsel action separately from the Implementing Agency Board Resolution)
  4. Environmental Documentation*
  5. RM-2 Operating Allocation Certifications and Assurances (Excel)

* A standard format for these elements of the allocation request has not been developed by MTC. Submission of the information for these items can be in the format as desired by the project sponsor or implementing agency.

MTC's Allocation review and approval process

Upon agreement to move forward and recommend an allocation, MTC staff will bring the request to the MTC's Programming and Allocations Committee and Commission for consideration.

STEP 1: Presentation to Programming and Allocations Committee (which meets on the Second Wednesday of every month generally)

STEP 2: Presentation to MTC Commission Meeting (which meets on the Fourth Wednesday of every month generally)

STEP 3: Once an allocation is approved by the Commission, MTC's Finance Section sends a letter confirming the allocation and provides instructions on the invoicing process to the project sponsor or implementing agency.

Invoicing and Reimbursement Process

Generally, allocation instructions will direct payments to be made monthly in advance, subject to quarterly adjustments to reflect actual expenses.  Invoices detailing actual expenditures and advances received should be submitted on a quarterly basis,

The following is  the invoice format for the operating program.
