BACKGROUND The Fuel Efficient Traffic Signal Management (FETSIM) has been providing grants to local agencies for the past ten years. The funds from these grants have been applied toward the cost of either local agency staff or consultants for retiming signal systems using the latest computer tools. The funding source over the years (except for the initial grant cycle) has been the Petroleum Violation Escrow (PVE) account administered by the U. S. Department of Energy. The funds in this account have come from fines levied against oil companies for overcharging consumers for motor and heating oil products in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Remaining funds in this account available for the State of California are very limited and will probably be exhausted in a few years. Caltrans will be seeking some of the remaining PVE account funds available to California for the FETSIM program. For the 1993 grant cycle, grant awards of $500 per signalized intersection are available to partially fund the required local staff or consultant resources necessary to complete a FETSIM project. It is anticipated that staff will use Caltrans traffic engineers to perform the work. The City will incur no net cost. JORPARK, CAUFORNLA City Council Meeting of R - 19 199 Awe • _ 400_.14.
