Program. Our proposed fiscal 20132014 are essentially the same from previous years. The criteria is fairly straightforward and we have been successfully Program Every project applicant in recent years. Before we consider any project for the fund each project must meet eligibility screening requirements established by the air district and those are project types, basic project type and cost effectiveness. Cost effectiveness is measured by the air district and measures the cost of the emissions for each of the projects. If a project passes screening eligibility we use the local criteria that consists of five criteria of the first is project type and we rank those in descending order so the top ranking project is zero emissions non Vehicle Projects and bicycle improvements and transit improvements and traffic calming and other programs.
