In 1998, through the approval of County Resolution 98-02, the County Board of Supervisors (BOS) authorized the implementation of the Small Cities Transportation Assistance Program (SCTAP). The primary objectives of the SCTAP are: 1. To improve cooperation between the County and small communities. 2. To promote the County Transportation System Plan and Comprehensive Plan. 3. To encourage economic development and maximize resources. 4. To encourage small and economically-disadvantaged communities to develop long-range transportation plans and transportation capital improvement programs. On March 15, 2011 the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) recommended that the BOS approve funding from the SCTAP FY 2012 budget in an amount up to $209,160 for the Valencia Street improvements (Project) located in the Town of Buckeye. The Project will include 3,656 linear feet of pavement reconstruction for 6th Avenue from Alarcon Boulevard to Miller Road, and for 7th Avenue from Alarcon Boulevard to Miller Road. The estimated total cost of the Project is $243,160. The Town’s local share is $34,000. The County (SCTAP) share is $209,160. Funds are budgeted in the Transportation Improvement Program, Partnership Support (PSUP) Project, Sub-Project T009, Small Cities Transportation Assistance Program (SCTAP). The goal of this project is to satisfy the four SCTAP objectives and aid the Town in meeting their long-term transportation objectives. Supervisory District No. 4 (C-91-12-073-M-00)
