One of the grant programs that was established as a result of these transportation measures was the Transit Capital Improvement (TCI) program. The Department of Transportation is currently soliciting formal project applications for fiscal year 1992/93 TCI program. The City will be applying for TCI Funds under the category of "Intercity Rail" on the advice of VCTC. Intercity Rail projects include AMTRAK station facilities and do not require matching funds. The City is currently working with Supervisor Vicki Howard and VCTC to receive written approval from AMTRAK for a permanent Moorpark stop. AMTRAK and Commuter Rail have the same facility requirements. If approved, the TCI Funds would be used to design and construct Moorpark's Intercity/Commuter Rail Station. Recent estimates provided by the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission indicate that it will cost $897,440 to develop a rail station in Moorpark. This cost figure includes design and construction of a center platform, parking lot and shelters. The City will be requesting $697,440 in TCI funds. The remaining $200,000 is proposed to be funded by the City's Transportation System Management Fund which will qualify as a funding match. Although a PAUL W. LAWRASON JR. BERNARDO M.
