One program we have identified that may have some potential for Roseville is the Nc�n- <br />motorized Transportation Pilot Program. Very little information is available at this point on <br />the disbursement of the 25 million dollars earmarked for the Twin Cities Area. <br />What we have learned is that the projects funded will need to document an increase in <br />bicycle/pedestrian mode share. This would indicate a need to cooperate across jurisdictional <br />boundariesto meet the programs objectives.Preliminaryinformationalso indicates the money <br />will become available in October of 2006 and may not require a local match. It is not clear <br />what agency will administer the program. It may be Transit for Livable Communities rather <br />than M1�/DQ`� or Met Council, or it may be a j oint committee of these agencies. <br />We will get on mailing lists of groups working in this area and follow up on future <br />developments. <br />� Page 1 <br />
