5-1. – 5-2. COMMITTEE MINUTES The Board accepted and filed the MST Finance Committee Minutes – February

8, 2010; and MST Legislative Committee Minutes – February 8, 2010.

6-1. PURCHASE OF ONE SUBURBAN BUS

Mr. Hernandez, Assistant General Manager, Chief Operating Officer, reported that Motor Coach Industries (MCI) has one model year 2010 demonstration bus available with approximately 11,000 miles. The coach price will be reduced by $17,681 from the Yolo contract price. The purchase of this specific coach will also match the engine & emissions system of the recently purchased MCIs. MCI coaches are used world wide in heavy-duty commuter service and are also standard equipment at many


US transit properties for service on long distance routes. The MCI coaches are 45 feet long, extremely durable and have a 57 passenger capacity.

Director Orozco thanked staff for the longer buses to South County. Director Clark moved to authorize the purchase of one heavy-duty

suburban coach through the Yolo County Transportation District’s contract with Motor Coach Industries (MCI) at a cost of $504,981. Director Cohen seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

6-2. BRT PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

Mr. Harvath, Assistant General Manager for Finance & Administration reported

that Wilbur Smith and Associates (WSA) worked on MST’s BRT efforts by developing the first draft of the Project Management Plan, a document that is required by FTA.

It is envisioned that WSA would continue revising the Project Management Plan

and would provide day-to-day project oversight of the consultant team that would be selected to perform the final design and engineering of the Fremont/Lighthouse BRT corridor. WSA and the staff members that it would dedicate to this project management role have substantial experience with BRT studies and projects around the country. Their expertise will be essential in monitoring the design and engineering work to ensure that BRT-specific features and components are correctly and accurately included in the resulting construction documents.

Director Downey moved to approve the award of a contract for project management services with Wilbur Smith and Associates for the Fremont/Lighthouse Bus Rapid Transit design/engineering phase. Director Clark seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

6-3. DESIGN AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING CONTRACT FOR BRT PROJECT

Mr. Harvath, Assistant General Manager for Finance and Administration reported

that with the successful BRT application submitted to the Federal Transit Administration in 2008 and the December 2009 award of $2.77 million in federal funds for the Fremont/Lighthouse BRT, MST is prepared to proceed into the final design and engineering phase of the project.

After examining each of the submittals, staff found that the team assembled by

Kimley-Horn and Associates was the strongest with regards to BRT-relevant experience and staffing. Recent and current BRT projects include two in the East Bay, one in Livermore-Amador Valley, and a new service for the city of Fresno. These projects involve Transit Signal Prioirty, queue jump lanes and real time arrival electronic information signs that will also be components of MST’s Fremont/Lighthouse BRT line. In addition, Kimley-Horn has assembled a team of sub-consultants who have extensive familiarity with MST and the Monterey area.


Director Sharp asked to have an update with regards to contract cost at the next

meeting.

Director Clark moved to approve the award of a contract for final design and engineering services to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the Fremont/Lighthouse Bus Rapid Transit project. Director Sharp seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

7-1. TAXI VOUCHER FARE PUBLIC HEARING

Mr. Hicks, CTSA Manager, reported that the Pacific Meadows Taxi Voucher

Program began in November 2008. It was intended to provide access to the nearest MST bus stop at Carmel Rancho via taxi since the stop at the foot of their driveway was removed for safety reasons. The senior program participants are currently given taxi vouchers at no cost to them while MST reimburses the taxi company for 100% of the negotiated fare. The program is currently funded by a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Freedom grant.

Over the past 14 months, very few participants that taxied to Carmel Rancho go

on to board a MST bus. While it is worthwhile to provide more independence for senior residents of Pacific Meadows, it is difficult to justify MST continuing to pay 100% of the cost. The proposed co-pay will provide fare-share participation by voucher holders and should also cut down on frivolous trips, voucher hoarding, and resistance to sharing rides with fellow residents. The proposed co-pay will bring the program in line with what RIDES customers pay for rides.

Vice-Chair Mancini opened the public hearing at 11:01a.m. to receive public comment on proposed $3 taxi voucher co-pay. Jim Fink asked if the taxi voucher program would cover him at Edgewater, and is there any credit recognition for having a monthly pass. Mr. Hicks responded that there is nothing in the program what would exclude him from using the program once it is implemented. At this time, there is no plan to provide additional discounts on the taxi fare. Seeing no one else wishing to comment, the public hearing was closed at 11:04 a.m.

Director Ford moved to approve a co-pay of three dollars for taxi voucher

trips. Director Clark seconded and the motion carried unanimously. 8-1. WORKER’S COMPENSATION COST CONTAINMENT PROGRAM UPDATE

Ms. Owens, Director of Human Resources, reported that a one-year contract was

awarded to Occlink to assist MST in reducing worker’s compensation costs, establish a medical provider network and better manage the reserves needed to pay the future


costs of claims. A commitment was made in the first year of the contract to assist MST staff in managing the current claims in a manner that assures the best result for the injured worker and at cost savings as well as providing guidance on reserve practices that would provide MST with more operating capital.

Director Downey moved to receive the report from Occlink regarding the

progress being made in managing Worker’s Compensation claims costs. Director Cohen seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

8-2. LINE OF CREDIT WITH RABOBANK

Mr. Harvath, Assistant General Manager for Finance and Administration, reported that at the August 10, 2009 meeting of your Board, authorization was given to staff to pursue financing options for the permitting, construction and move-in phases of MST’s new Monterey Bay Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility. In anticipation of the need to finance these costs, staff worked with Assemblymember Anna Caballero to introduce legislation (AB 644) that would transform MST from a Joint Powers Agency to a Transit District. As a District, MST would have the authority to issue bonds to fund major expenditures, such as the new Operations and Maintenance facility. In the past, MST has financed major capital expenditures, such as bus purchases in 2002 and 2007, using private lending institutions. Other public and private financing methods are also available with various costs and interest rates.

Director Sanchez moved to: 1) Approve Resolution 2010-14 Declaration of

Official Intent – Monterey Bay Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility Financing; and 2) Approve a line of credit in the amount of $2 million for expenditures related to the development of the Monterey Bay Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility. Director Ford seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

9. NEW BUSINESS

None.

10-1. – 10-4. REPORTS & INFORMATION ITEMS

The reports consisted of the General Manager/CEO Report; TAMC Highlights – February 24, 2010; Washington DC Lobbyist Report – February 23, 2010; and staff trip reports.

11. COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS

Director Sanchez reported that he was approached by the Boys & Girls Club of Monterey County for a bus donation.


12. ELECTION OF OFFICERS

The Nominating Committee (Directors Clark, Ford, and Sanchez) recommended deferring this item until the April Board meeting.

Director Downey moved to defer this item until the April Board meeting.

Director Ford seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

13. ANNOUNCEMENTS

None.

14. CLOSED SESSION

The Board adjourned to Closed Session to meet with legal counsel regarding discussion with property negotiators.

15. RETURN TO OPEN SESSION

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive report on the 2009 Community Stakeholder Survey. FISCAL IMPACT:

None. POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

MST surveys stakeholders annually in its service area to gauge knowledge of and opinions regarding this agency. DISCUSSION:

In January of 2010, approximately 460 surveys were distributed to community stakeholders including elected officials, governmental agencies, social service organizations, private citizens, and representatives from private industries such as hospitality, agriculture and construction. A total of 61 surveys were returned and yielded the following highlights: • Familiarity with MST’s services: Respondents were most familiar with MST’s regular fixed route service with the MST Trolley in Monterey ranking second and Line 24 Carmel Valley Grapevine Express ranking third. Of MST’s special event services, respondents were most familiar with service to First Night Monterey with service to Laguna Seca and Monterey Jazz Festival tying for second, and service to Monterey County Fair close behind. • When rating MST’s attributes from “excellent” to “very poor,” the following areas were rated on a scale of one to five (with one as very poor and five as excellent) as follows: Safety of service 4.4 Staff professionalism 4.4 Overall impression of MST’s administration 4.3

Staff knowledge 4.3 Overall impression of MST’s services 4.2 Quality of service 4.2 Value of service 4.2 Helpfulness of staff 4.2 MST’s representation of itself in the community 4.2 Perceived value of transit in the community 3.8 Convenience of service 3.6 • When ranking MST’s priorities “adding frequency to existing routes” ranked highest and “adding new routes” ranked second. • When asked how to meet local transportation needs, the following alternatives were rated on a scale of one to five (with one as “least effective” and five as “most effective”) as follows: Buses 4.3 Improved roads 4.1 Bus rapid transit 4.0 More vanpools/carpool incentives 4.0 Rail 3.5 More dedicated bike lanes 3.5 New roads 3.1 • When asked if respondents would support a “new local sales tax dedicated to funding public transit and transportation services,” 74% of respondents said they would support it while 20% said they would not. As a follow-up question, individuals who would support the new tax were asked what percentage would be appropriate. Thirty six percent of respondents would support a ¼ percent increase, 15% would support a 1/8 percentage increase and 16% would support a 1/10 percent increase.

Attachment: 2009 Community Stakeholder Survey


_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Ben Newman, Risk Manager Subject: Liability Claim Rejection

RECOMMENDATION:

Reject claims by the claimants below.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$200,000.


None.

DISCUSSION:

Mr. McClure claims to have sustained injuries to the right side of his neck, right shoulder, and mid-to-low back when his vehicle was struck from behind by an MST bus. Ms. Bryant was a passenger in the vehicle driven by Mr. McClure and claims to have sustained injuries to her right shoulder, neck, upper-to-mid back, right thigh, and right wrist. After conducting a preliminary investigation into this matter, Monterey-Salinas Transit recommends the claims be rejected in their entirety.

The above claims are under investigation. If any Board member desires further information on these claims, they may request to be discussed in closed session.


_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Michael Hernandez, Assistant General Manager/COO Subject: Approve Purchase of One Medium Size Bus

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Authorize the purchase of one medium sized (mini) bus from El Dorado

National/Creative Bus Sales. FISCAL IMPACT:

$78,309. This vehicle will be funded through a New Freedom Grant in the

amount of $62,647. The remaining $15,662 (our local match) will come from MST’s bus replacement fund in our Capital Budget. POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Your Board approves all purchases that exceed $25,000.

DISCUSSION:

This vehicle will be purchased from El Dorado National/Creative Bus Sales through the newly formed CalAct/ Morongo Basin Transit Authority vehicle purchasing cooperative. The new cooperative was formed due to a prolonged delay by the State Department of General Services to select a medium size bus vendor for transit properties. MST is approved to purchase through the cooperative and Caltrans has approved the bid documents.

The bus will be operated by MV Transportation Inc. and will be used on the

Monterey Peninsula for seniors and other passengers to access doctor offices, medical facilities, hospitals and for other local transportation needs. MST has secured a grant in the amount of $184,000 to offset operating costs for two years.

This service is not part of the RIDES program and will help replace a current taxi

voucher program. MST is seeking funding for another vehicle for similar service in Salinas. A hybrid medium size bus is available from El Dorado at a base price of $108,491.


_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Lyn Owens, Director of Human Resources-Risk Management Subject: AB 1234 Training Requirement RECOMMENDATION:

None, information only. FISCAL IMPACT:

None, information only.


AB 1234 requires Ethics Training every two years for elected and appointed officials. DISCUSSION:

All Board and Commission members are required to attend Ethics training when newly appointed to a Board or Commission and every two (2) years thereafter. MST is contacting your City Clerk’s offices to ask for the most recent copy of any training provided by your cities. Should your training be due in 2010, MST recommends that you contact your city’s Human Resources Department for direction. MST will provide a link for on-line training if you so request.

2. Public Comment: None

3. Receive an update on the Salinas Train Station project:

Hunter Harvath presented a historical background on the Salinas Train Station Project. He then introduced Christina Watson from TAMC to provide the board with a current update. Ms. Watson explained the proposed train bus connection at Salinas Station and what will be needed in the future:

Director Tom Mancini asked about the accuracy of the ridership data and how it was compiled. Ms. Watson responded that there was an extensive survey done using the FTA Model which reflected the count of 1,000 plus per day each way. Director Downey asked about the travel time to San Jose and would there be a shuttle to the MST Salinas Transit Center. Ms. Watson responded that the travel time would be around 1 to 1 ½ hours and that a shuttle service would be in place to get potential passengers from STC to the train station. Mr. Sedoryk stated that he, along with Board Member Karen Sharp, took a walking tour of the current train station facility and felt that this was a workable project.

_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Michael Hernandez, Assistant General Manager/COO Subject: Approve the Purchase of an Automatic Fare Collection System RECOMMENDATIONS:

Authorize the purchase of an automatic fare collection system from GFI Genfare (GFI) with a project budget not to exceed $2,900,000. FISCAL IMPACT:

Up to $2,900,000. Funding for this project is available from the following sources: the Regional Surface Transportation Program: $123,300, the State Transportation Improvement Program: $448,182; Prop 1B: $492,672; the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: $500,000; and State Transit Assistance funds: $1,319,028.



DISCUSSION:

MST’s current fare collection system is a 17 year old system manufactured by CUBIC. The current system has limited capability and does not provide many of the “smart” technologies found in today’s modern automated fare collection systems. MST has indentified the need for a more advanced fare collection system to increase revenue security, simplify our complex fare structure and transfer rules and to facilitate transfer media with neighboring transit districts.

MST goal was to procure a new fare collection system after the delivery of 15

new Gillig buses in early 2008. We opted to piggy-back on the farebox procurement with both San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans) and the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The use of a piggyback purchasing option is an FTA approved procurement method. The SamTrans and VTA procurements were delayed considerably and SamTrans awarded a contract to GFI last month. MST’s current farebox provider CUBIC selected not to submit a bid on the SamTrans procurement and also declined to offer new system options to MST as their market focus has changed.

The new GFI automatic fare collection system will provide improved and modern revenue security features. Additionally, GFI has smaller secure fareboxes that can be installed in mini buses. Current Cubic fareboxes cannot be safely installed in some of MST’s mini buses due to their size as they create visual obstructions for the driver.

The new GFI system will provide MST with the ability to significantly expand

payment options for customers using new “smart” technologies. MST will be able to provide passengers with various convenient fare payment options including reloadable smart cards, magnetic swipe cards and improved options for day/month passes and transfers. It is our goal to establish simpler fare structures, including the possibility of a distance ticket.

The system will eliminate the need for coach operator’s to manually “log on” to

four different systems (farebox, transfer machine, destination sign, and radio/AVL), providing one log on that will control multiple systems.

New fareboxes will also reduce the loss of passenger revenue from invalid

transfers, expired passes and counterfeit passes. Current manual transfers require operators to visually inspect transfers. The last several audits of MST’s fare/transfer collection process indicated that expired transfers and monthly passes had the highest level of fraud in the system resulting in an estimated 3.5% loss of fare revenues. The new system will electronically check transfers, passes and all fare media for validity. Staff estimates that reducing lost fares has the potential to increase passenger revenue by over $200,000 annually, thereby paying for the new system over a 12 year period.

Santa Cruz Metro is also participating in this farebox procurement. Participating

in this procurement with Santa Cruz Metro provides an opportunity in the future to develop a regionally integrated fare and monthly pass structure allowing seamless transfers between transit agencies.

Of the $2.9M in funding for this project, $448,182 of State Transportation

Improvement Program funds will expire in late June unless MST awards a contract and takes delivery of 17 fare boxes. The remaining fareboxes and various support equipment will be installed later, based on the project schedule. GFI is willing to commit to the delivery of the 17 by early June. To help reduce project costs some of the computer/server equipment will be purchased by MST, versus directly from GFI. Those computer costs are included in this total project price.

Approval of this item will authorize the following: • Authorize staff to enter into a contract with GFI for an automated fare

collection system up to $2,900,000 from GFI • Authorize staff to expedite the delivery of 17 fareboxes by June 1, 2010 to

avoid the loss of up to $448,182 in State Transit Improvement Program funds • Authorize the purchase of some computer equipment from another vendor in

order to reduce project costs


_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Michael Hernandez, Assistant General Manager/Chief Operating Officer Subject: Authorize Additional Expenditures for the MSTs New Operating Facility RECOMMENDATIONS:

Authorize a revised contingency budget in the amount of $213,000 for MST’s Bus Maintenance and Operations Center. FISCAL IMPACT: $213,000. The additional $213,000 brings the total project budget to $7.5 million for all design/engineering and permitting costs. This amount represents slightly less than 11% of the estimated construction cost. POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Your Board approves purchases and contracts over $25,000. DISCUSSION:

In July 2008 your Board authorized awarding a $3,113,000 contract to AECOM

for architectural and engineering services for MST’s Bus Maintenance and Operations Center. An additional contingency budget of $387,000, a relocation budget of $337,000 and a permitting/fee budget of $3,450,000 was also approved bringing the total project budget to $7,287,000.

The additional $213,000 provides for a revised project budget of $7.5 million,

slightly less than 11% of the projected construction costs. In March of 2010 your Board approved a line of credit in the amount of $2 million

for expenditures related to the new operating facility. Funds spent from the $2 million will be eligible for reimbursement once construction financing is obtained. MST has already received a total $5.5 million in state funds for the project and the $2 million will bridge the gap between funds received and additional funding requirements.

As of this date, construction documents are more than 90% of complete and

additional expenses for design and engineering have surpassed the original contingency budget of $387,000.

Several additional changes to the design were required including revisions to the

bus entrances, a security assessment, hoists to accommodate the MCIs, and a recycling system for landscape water. There will also be some additional design costs to handle storm water runoff requirements.

Approval of this item would increase the contingency budget from $387,000 to $600,000. A revised project budget will be provided at the Board meeting.


_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Michael Hernandez, Assistant General Manager/COO Subject: Purchase Two Used Trolleys RECOMMENDATIONS:

Authorize the purchase of two used trolleys. FISCAL IMPACT:

Up to $75,000. Funding is available in MST’s bus replacement fund in our Capital Budget. POLICY IMPLICATIONS:


DISCUSSION:

MST has six, model year 2003 Optima Trolleys. These trolleys are operated by MST’s contractor MV Transportation Inc. (MV) and are currently used in service throughout the year in Monterey, Salinas and Carmel. The peak season for trolley use is in the summer, between Memorial Day and Labor Day. During the summer months up to four trolleys help reduce local traffic congestion on the Peninsula by shuttling passengers between downtown Monterey, Cannery Row and the Aquarium. An additional trolley is also used for summer service in Carmel-by-the-Sea. During peak tourism periods MST has one spare vehicle as a backup for these two services.

Over the past several months the City of Pacific Grove has been actively

planning and developing a financing plan for summer trolley service. More recently CSUMB has also expressed in an interest in trolley service. In order to have an adequate supply of spare vehicles to provide reliable and predictable trolley services, MST will need to purchase up to two additional trolley vehicles

Since MST purchased our original Optima Trolleys in 2003, Optima was

purchased by North American Bus Industries who taken these vehicles out of production. MST has been searching for a suitable used trolley for the past several of months. Staff has identified several potential trolleys located out of state, and we continue to search within California. Most of the vehicles we have identified have an estimated price range between $23,000 and $35,000.

The vehicles being considered are older and have significantly higher mileage than our current trolleys. Vehicle selection has not been completed, and selection criteria will be based on vehicle condition, whether the vehicle can be modified to meet State of California emission requirements, engine specifications, and the amount of cost to bring a vehicle up to a reliable and presentable operating condition.

Once vehicle selection has been completed, several months of work will be

required to prepare the vehicle for service. Based on MST’s maintenance department’s current work load, much of the work will be contracted out, which will require a competitive procurement process.

Approval of this item will authorize the purchase of two trolleys at a cost of up to

$75,000 (without tax). Refurbishment costs, if beyond $25,000 will come back to your Board for approval at a later date.

Comments: In February there were a total of 31 road calls of which 28 were maintenance related. The highest road call categories during the month were for electrical and exhaust issues. On February 4, two MCI motor coaches were delivered. The goal is to have at least one of the vehicles ready for service by the end of April. A significant amount of in processing work needs to be completed to prepare these vehicles for service, including the installation of security cameras, fareboxes, and communication systems, along with adding the MST paint design. Additionally, a comprehensive coach operator and maintenance department training schedule is required as this type of vehicle is a new addition to the MST fleet. Facilities staff conducted a thorough graffiti abatement effort during the month of February, primarily in the Salinas service area. Michael Hernandez

Planning Update During the month of February, staff continued on the planning efforts for the Monterey Bay Operations and Maintenance Facility, including discussions with financial advisers on short-term and long-term financing for the project. Staff met with representatives of Harris and Associates to find out about “lessons learned” from their experiences building the maintenance and operations facility for Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District. Staff continued to provide input on the style and content of MST’s website revision and began internal discussions as to standards for MST’s routes, schedules, maps and stops to ensure a unified and consistent image. Staff continued ongoing meetings and dialogue with military partners to improve and expand MST’s services to the Presidio of Monterey and the Naval Postgraduate School and began exploring extension of transit services to Fort Hunter Liggett. Staff met with representatives of the City of Salinas to explore ways to move forward on the renovations of the Salinas Train Station and continued participating in ongoing planning meetings for TAMC’s commuter rail to Salinas Intermodal Transit Center project as well as the Monterey Branch Line light rail project. Staff met with representatives of the city of Marina and the County Health Department to discuss transit access to the future site of mental health services on the former Fort Ord. Staff participated in regular meetings of TAMC, AMBAG, FORA, Monterey County Business Council, Monterey County Hospitality Association, and other related agencies. CTSA Update During February, staff worked with 211 Monterey County, currently under contract with MST for transportation referral services, to conduct a one-year anniversary celebration to further publicize 211 services in Monterey County and to acknowledge the contribution of key personnel who contributed to the greater than expected success of the program. Staff also participated in the 211 marketing committee to make recommendations to 211 staff about how to better reach under-represented populations. Staff also continued to participate in meetings of the Building Healthy Communities Initiative of the California Endowment. This initiative is providing funding over the next ten years to improve the quality of life in the East Salinas community, including transportation to and from work, school, social services and medical care. Staff participated in the Mobility Action Project – Project Advisory Committee (MAP-PAC), a joint project between Cal Trans and the State Department of Health. MST staff advised these State agencies on the advantages and obstacles involved in planning mobility services in rural communities.

Staff started installation of Advanced Communication System hardware on one of the MCI coaches. I attended the annual APTA Transitech Conference and Expo in Fort Lauderdale. This conference had national transit agency personnel attending and vendors displaying the latest technological advances available to transit agencies. Accounting Update During the month of February, staff hit a milestone in the progression to automation of the retirement reporting. This reporting is now done without the need for duplicate data entry and saves staff an incredible amount of time. The minor bugs are being worked out and we anticipate a smooth transition when the next deadline approaches in late 2010. Payroll and Accounts Payable staff continue to meet their weekly deadlines. General Accounting is back on track after unexpected staff turnover. Financial reporting is being enhanced by utilitizing the Navision system for reporting purposes. The implementation of DDAM has also made significant progress. The need for manual data entry from dispatch sheets has been eliminated and data is now migrated from DDAM to Access, verified and then uploaded into Navision saving hours of data entry on a weekly basis. During February, the General Accounting Manager attended training for the triennial review that the Federal Transit Administration will be conducting in August 2010.

TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY

HIGHLIGHTS

March 24, 2010 Meeting

STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATION

AFFECTING TRANSPORTION

Transit service in Monterey County will keep moving with Governor Schwarzenegger recently signing into law the "gas tax swap" package, restoring funding to the State Transit Assistance program that was depleted in 2009. The bill package eliminates the excise tax on diesel, increases the rate of sales tax on diesel fuel, and makes an immediate appropriation of $400 million to transit operations. While this keeps state transit assistance at the prior year's funding levels, it is still well below the levels anticipated under existing law: Monterey-Salinas Transit had expected $10 million for operations over the next two years and will instead receive $2.6 million in that period. The package also eliminates the sales tax on gasoline and increases the excise tax on gas to restore lost Proposition 42 funds and to provide General Fund relief in the form of a new revenue stream for transportation bond debt service. Not only will this new law keep Monterey County’s vital transit service in place but it will also increase our ability to fund planned rail services:

• Commuter rail service from the bay area to Salinas, Pajaro, Castroville

• Light rail service between Monterey, Marina and Castroville as well as connect to

• intercity rail service to Salinas, San Jose, and San Francisco. On March 18, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the jobs stimulus bill. Officially known as the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, the bill is meant to encourage private sector hiring, in part, through a series of tax incentives. This bill will continue the flow of funding to the Federal Highway Transportation Fund but does not contain new funding for "stimulus" transportation projects. Both the “gas tax swap” and the HIRE Act shore up the Transportation Agency’s ability to retain funding for key projects in the pipeline such as:

• US 101—San Juan Road Interchange

• US 101—Prunedale Improvement Project

• Highway 156 Widening and Interchange Improvements

• Highway 68 Commuter Improvements

• Highway 101—South County Improvements

REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN

PUBLIC HEARING

The Transportation Agency is required by state and federal regulations to prepare a long range Regional Transportation Plan for Monterey County including an analysis of regional transportation needs, transportation policies, funding projections, and a regional project list covering a 25-year timeframe. Actions to program or allocate funds to specific projects must be consistent with the regional plan, which is a program-level document that does not include specific plans or constitute final approval for regional projects. Currently, a draft of the Regional Transportation Plan and the supplemental Environmental Impact Report are available for public review, until April 19, 2010. The Transportation Agency Board expects to adopt the final plan at the May 26, 2010 meeting.

TRANSPORTATION AGENCY

2009 ANNUAL REPORT

The Transportation Agency 2009 Annual Report will be mailed to residents and businesses throughout the County during the month of April. It will focus on increasing awareness of the Transportation Agency’s presence in Monterey County while building a reputation of trust and fiscal responsibility. It will continue to focus on the theme that we’re doing the best with what we have and will continue to do an effective job with the resources that will continue to be available, such as fully funding the Highway 1/Salinas Road Interchange project in 2009, exploring potential phasing options for the Highway 156 Widening project, and continuing to pursue the rail projects in Monterey County. The Annual Report will also stress to residents the continued needs in the county and the challenges in funding transportation projects and that there are a number of projects on the cusp of construction (that require more funding) that the Agency would like to complete.

2010 MONTEREY COUNTY BIKE WEEK

The 16th Annual Bike Week in Monterey County, is scheduled for May 10– 16, 2010. Bike Week 2010 will focus on the following activities:

Week of May 3rd

• Bicycle Safety Orientation Monday, May 3 – Friday, Mary 28

• A month long team bike challenge where companies/agencies compete for the highest percent of employees bicycling to work

Wednesday, May 5

• Pacific Grove Bike to City Council Meeting Ride (5:30 p.m.) Tuesday, May 11

• Morning ride with the Velo Club of Monterey (8:00 a.m.), Portola Plaza The goals for 2010 Bike Week are to increase event attendance by 20%, increase Bike to School Day participation in South Monterey County area, and increase the number of bike to city council events. In addition to the traditional Bike Week events such as Bike vs. Car challenge and Community Ride, two new events are being proposed for this year. One of the events is to offer a discounted bike safety maintenance check at local bike shops. Bike shops are invited to participate in this promotion by offering bike safety and maintenance services at a discounted price during the month of April through Bike Week. Another new event is to a Golden Helmet Award competition, where a local bicyclist will be recognized for his/her dedication for using bicycle for daily trips. The event is modeled after the Bicycle Commuter of the Year event at the San Francisco Bay Area. His/her stories will showcase many of the bicycling commuting benefits, and will be used to inspire others to practice alternative transportation modes. The award will be presented to a winner at the April Transportation Agency Board meeting. To learn more about Monterey County Bike Week visit: www.bike2work.com.

COMMUTER RAIL EXTENSION TO SALINAS: MOVING FORWARD

Passenger rail to Monterey County is moving forward with the Transportation Agency Board approval of the contract with Parsons Transportation Group for preliminary engineering. The rail service will extend commuter rail service from the bay area to Pajaro/Watsonville, Castroville, and Salinas, providing an alternative to driving on congested Highway 101. To this point, conceptual design, state and federal environmental review and the federally required alternatives analysis are complete. This stage of the project will advance the preliminary engineering designs, and determine cost estimates and draft specifications, for the Gilroy Yard, Pajaro Valley Station, Castroville Station, Salinas Layover Facility, and Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center. Construction for this project is expected to begin in 2012 with service to the bay area beginning in 2013.
