Agenda Item 6 July 12, 2017

DATE: July 5, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Daryl K. Halls RE: Executive Director’s Report – July 2017 The following is a brief status report on some of the major issues and projects currently being advanced by the Solano Transportation Authority (STA). An asterisk (*) notes items included in this month’s Board agenda. Approval of STA’s Updated Budget for FY 2017-18 and New Budget for FY 2018-19 * Susan Furtado and STA’s budget managers have prepared the revised budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 and the new budget for FY 2018-19. The STA’s updated two year budget is based on the updated two year Overall Work Program adopted by the STA on June 14th. The FY 2017-18 budget has been modified from $15.05 million to $17.29 million. The majority of this change is within the Project Development Department budget with the addition of project funding for SR 37, SR12/Church, SolanoExpress Bus Stops, Jepson Parkway, I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange, and SR 37/Fairgrounds. The FY 2018-19 budget totals $12.9 million. SolanoExpress Operations Implementation Plan and Bus Stop Locations * STA staff and the SolanoExpress Transit Consortium is recommending the STA Board authorize modifications to the structure of the SolanoExpress intercity service that would consolidate the seven SolanoExpress Routes (20, 30, 40, 78, 80, 85 and 90) into three more streamlined SolanoExpress Routes (Blue Line, Yellow Line and Green Line) that will provide better transit access, frequency and connections to employment and activity locations within Solano County while maintaining access to BART, UC Davis and Sacramento. This service change is being recommended for implementation in two phases with Phase 1 scheduled to occur July 1, 2018 with the merging of Routes 20, 30 and 40 into the new Blue Line, Route 78 becoming the Yellow Line, and Route 90 becoming the Green Line Express. This is scheduled to coincide with capital bus stop improvement at Suisun Valley near the Fairfield Solano College Campus and Vaca Valley near the Vacaville Solano College Campus. Phase 2 is recommended to take place on July 1, 2019 with the merging of Routes 80 and 85 into the new Green Line. This is scheduled to coincide with new bus stops located on the on-ramps located at the SR37/Fairgrounds Interchange in close proximity to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and the Solano 360 Development Site. Updated Projects for 4th Year of Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) Program * The Regional Transportation Impact Fee Program (RTIF) started collecting a share of the County’s Public Facility Fee for transportation in February of 2014. The RTIF is now in its fourth year and passed during the 3rd quarter the $4 million milestone in total RTIF funds collected since the inception of the program. STA staff has meet with all the RTIF Working Groups to update the RTIF projects to be funded through the remainder of this current RTIF five year cycle and what projects are to be funded preparation for the next five years cycle of the RTIF program. The RTIF 4th Annual Report is scheduled for STA Board consideration on September 13, 2017 in order to be forwarded to the Solano County Board of Supervisors as an information item.

Executive Director’s Memo July 5, 2017 Page 2 of 4

Suisun City’s McCoy Creek Project to Receive Full Funding from ATP With the recent passage by the State Legislature and the Governor of Senate Bill 1, there will be an additional $100 million annually in statewide Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds. In response, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) has adopted guidelines for this program going forward. This included funding some of the remaining projects included in round 3 of ATP. This included Suisun City’s McCoy Creek Bike Project that was at the cut off of for funding and was slated to only receive $1.8 million of the $4.0 million requested to fund the Project. With the recent adoption by the CTC of their guidelines to include program flexibility requested by STA at the regional level and with the support of MTC staff, the McCoy Creek project will be recommended for the full $4 million requested. This will enable Suisun City to utilize their One Bay Area Grant 2 funds for a second ATP project, the Lotz Way Bike Project, which is located within their recently developed downtown Priority Development Area (PDA). STA Lands Two State Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants * This past month, STA learned it was successful in obtaining two statewide competitive OTS grants each totaling approximately $170,000. The first grant is to establish/improve traffic safety records in partnership with local law enforcement agencies. The second grant is to increase pedestrian, bicycling and motorist safety awareness in partnership with STA’s Safe Routes to School Program. Congratulations to STA’s Anthony Adams and Lloyd Nadal for their efforts in support of obtaining these OTS grants. STA Staff Update Drew Hart, STA’s Associate Planner, has accepted a positon with the City of Sacramento and will be departing STA on July 6th. Drew did an outstanding job landing Active Transportation Program (ATP) grants, started the implementation of the EV Readiness Program, coordinated STA’s bicycle planning efforts, and developed the STA’s Priority Conservation Area (PCA) plan. He will be missed. On July 3rd, Corbin (Cory) Peterson was promoted from the Solano Mobility Call Center to fill a vacant position of Planning Assistant. Cory is a resident of the City of Vacaville and has a BA in Urban Planning/Geography from California State University at Sacramento. Also effective on July 3rd, Amy Antunano was promoted from part-time Senior Customer Service Representative (CSR) to the new position of Program Coordinator for the Solano Mobility Call Center. Amy is a Fairfield resident. During the month of July, STA will look to fill the vacant part-time Senior CSR and CSR positions with the Solano Mobility Call Center.

7. ACTION NON FINANCIAL ITEMS

A. SolanoExpress Operations Implementation Plan Jim McElroy presented the implementation process of the two phases of SolanoExpress service changes based on the capital project timing. He noted that the proposed fare structure is not intended to be a fare increase, but is designed to make fares consistent across the entire SolanoExpress network. He added that the STA has budgeted for the marketing and promotion of this service and this will be covered in more detail at the August meeting of the Consortium. Mr. McElroy also reviewed the timeline for the Highway 37 at Fairgrounds Drive bus stop which determines the implementation date for the Red Line. He noted that staff is recommending a two-phase implementation that defers the consolidations of the Route 80 and Route 85 into the Green Line until January 2019 or when the new stop at Highway 37 and Fairgrounds is completed. At the June 28th, 2017 meeting, the SolanoExpress Intercity Transit Consortium requested to modify the recommendation as shown below in strikethrough bold italics. The STA TAC concurred.

Recommendations: Forward a recommendation to the STA Board to authorize the Executive Director to:

1. Implement two phases of SolanoExpress service changes as shown in Attachment A:

Agenda Item 9.C July 12, 2017

DATE: July 5, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Liz Niedziela, Transit Program Manager RE: Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Matrix – July

2017 – Solano County Transit and revised Solano Transportation Authority (STA) ______________________________________________________________________________

Background: The Transportation Development Act (TDA) was enacted in 1971 by the California Legislature to ensure a continuing statewide commitment to public transportation. This law imposes a one-quarter-cent tax on retail sales within each county for this purpose. Proceeds are returned to counties based upon the amount of taxes collected, and are apportioned within the county based on population. To obtain TDA funds, local jurisdictions must submit requests to regional transportation agencies that review the claims for consistency with TDA requirements. Solano County agencies submit TDA claims to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the nine Bay Area counties. The Solano FY 2017-18 TDA fund estimates by jurisdiction are shown on the attached MTC Fund Estimate (Attachment A). TDA funds are shared among agencies to fund joint services such as SolanoExpress intercity bus routes and Intercity Taxi Scrip Program. To clarify how the TDA funds are to be allocated each year among the local agencies and to identify the purpose of the funds, the STA works with the transit operators and prepares an annual TDA matrix. The TDA matrix is approved by the STA Board and submitted to MTC to provide MTC guidance when reviewing individual TDA claims. The July TDA matrix for FY 2017-18 (Attachment B) is scheduled to be submitted to the STA Board for approval on July 12, 2017. The cost share for the intercity routes per the Intercity Funding Agreement is reflected in the TDA Matrix. The intercity funding formula is based on 20% of the costs shared on population and 80% of the costs shared and on ridership by residency. Population estimates are updated annually using the Department of Finance population estimates and ridership by residency is based on on-board surveys conducted in April 2014. The intercity funding process includes a reconciliation of planned (budgeted) intercity revenues and expenditures to actual revenues and expenditures. In this cycle, FY 2015-16 audited amounts were reconciled to the estimated amounts for FY 2015-16. The reconciliation amounts and the estimated amounts for FY 2017-18 are merged to determine the cost per funding partner. Discussion: The reconciling calculations for FY 2015-16 planned versus actual subsidies from the local jurisdictions are approximately $440,000 less than had been budgeted for. Each of the local jurisdictions, except Dixon, will receive a credit toward the subsidy required for the FY 2017-18 Solano Express operations. Solano County’s contribution does not change. Dixon’s subsidy requirement increased by $5,666, primarily due to lower than anticipated fare revenue on Route 30.

27

For FY 2017-18, the following two TDA claims are being brought forward for review: Solano Transportation Authority TDA Revision STA previously requested $1,033,696 in FY 2017-18 TDA funds which was approved by the STA Board. TDA funds in the amount of $521,046 will be used for transit programs, administration, coordination, and planning. TDA funds in the amount of $141,845 will be claimed against the Suisun City TDA share for operating and maintenance cost for the Suisun City AMTRAK station for FY 2013-14, FY 2014-15, FY 2015-16, and FY 2016-17. Solano County TDA funds in the amount of $512,650 are to be claimed for the Intercity Taxi Scrip Program ($472,650) and Faith in Action’s program ($40,000) to provide medical transportation for seniors. This amount may be subject to future modification pending discussions with the Consortium regarding Intercity Taxi Scrip Program contributions from each jurisdiction and implementation of Phase 2 of the program. The revised TDA amount includes an additional $65,000 to be claimed against Rio Vista’s TDA to pay back a funding swap from 5311 funding. The $65,000 will be used as capital to fund the SolanoExpress bus stop project. The second revision is the $141,845 TDA claim against Suisun City. The total claim amount has not changed, but $63,548 of the $141,845 is the Suisun City’s loan repayment which will be used for the Fairground Transit Facility Study. STA is requesting a revised amount of $1,098,696 in TDA funds, an addition of $65,000. STA’s TDA claim amounts are included in Attachment B the TDA matrix. Solano County Transit (SolTrans) SolTrans requested $8,335,741 in their local TDA funds. TDA funds in the amount of $5,310,570 will be used for operating, and $3,025,171 will be used for capital projects. SolTrans’ capital projects include:

• $270,000 for vehicle maintenance • $200,000 for facility maintenance • $82,771 for information technology • $1,600,000 for bus replacements • $872,400 for compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling facility

SolTrans TDA claim amounts are included in Attachment B, the TDA Matrix. Both the SolTrans and revised STA TDA claims are scheduled for the July 12th meeting of the STA Board. Additional TDA claims from agencies will be brought to the Consortium meeting of August 29th and added to the TDA Matrix in preparation for the STA Board meeting on September 13, 2017. At the Consortium meeting on June 27th and at the STA TAC meeting on June 28th, the members unanimously approved to forward a recommendation to the STA Board to approve the FY 2017-18 Solano July TDA Matrix for SolTrans and the revised STA. Fiscal Impact: The STA is a recipient of TDA funds from each jurisdiction for the purpose of countywide transit planning, and coordination, and programs. STA claims Suisun City TDA for maintenance of the Suisun Amtrak Station and County TDA for the Intercity Taxi Scrip Program. The STA Board approval of the July 2017 TDA matrix provides the guidance needed by MTC to process the TDA claim submitted by SolTrans from their local TDA funds and by STA from various local TDA funds.

28

Recommendation: Approve the July FY 2017-18 Solano TDA Matrix as shown in Attachment B that includes SolTrans and revised TDA claim for STA. Attachments:

Agenda Item 9.D July 12, 2017

DATE: July 12, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Lloyd Nadal, SR2S Program Administrator RE: Safe Routes to School – Contract with Bay Area Children’s Theatre for SR2S

Presentations for FY 2017-18 School Year Background: The Solano Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program works to increase the number of students walking and bicycling to school by helping to make the journey safe, fun and healthy. Using a comprehensive approach, the program includes 6 “E’s”: education, encouragement, enforcement, engagement, engineering and evaluation. The program is available to all schools countywide and focuses on activities and programs that educate students on safety, health awareness and identifying improvements within communities countywide to enhance active student travel safety.

The Bay Area Children’s Theatre was founded in 2004 to enrich children’s lives, inspire their imagination, and introduce them to lifelong enjoyment of theatre. They currently serve more than 90,000 children and adults each year with the goal of bringing high-quality artistic experiences to the families of the Bay Area. They specifically provide professional productions especially designed to engage young audiences and theatre education for students in more than 10 East Bay communities.

One of the theatre education productions they developed is called “Rock the Block: A Walk and Roll Musical” for elementary school students. The show features singing, dancing, comedy, and lessons about safely walking and bicycling to and from school. The show has been performed at schools in Alameda County, San Francisco and San Mateo County and STA’s SR2S staff is interested in having them work with us in Solano County this upcoming school year.

Discussion: Over the past few years, interest from schools in our SR2S safety assemblies has gradually decreased. During the 2015-16 school year, there were only 7 requests for safety assemblies and only 1 done this past year. Upon recent conversations with the Bay Area Children’s Theatre, they are able to perform the Rock the Block educational theatre show for up to 25 schools in Solano County. This aligns with STA’s SR2S 6 E’s goals to provide an education and encouragement assembly that will address pedestrian and bicycle safety making it safer for youth to walk and bike to school. They are the only group in the bay area that does an educational theatre production addressing Safe Routes to School activities and the show itself can be tailored specifically to meet the needs of our schools and communities in Solano County. Rock the Block has gotten great reviews from our Safe Routes to School partners in Alameda County and San Francisco.

35

Financial Impact: A maximum amount of $42,000 through June 30, 2018, has been identified for this contract, which will provide up to 25 Rock the Block Educational Theatre shows in Solano County schools. The funding is in the SR2S program budget and will be paid for through TDA Article 3, CMAQ and Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) Clean Air Funds. Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to enter into an agreement with Bay Area Children’s Theatre for an amount not-to-exceed $42,000 for up to 25 Rock the Block educational theatre shows across Solano County.

Agenda Item 9.E July 12, 2017

DATE: June 29, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Brandon Thomson, Transit Mobility Coordinator RE: STA’s Title VI Program - Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Background: On October 1, 2012, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) released an update to guidance regarding Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that provides compliance direction to recipients receiving federal funds. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The guidance seeks to ensure:

1) The level and quality of service is provided in a nondiscriminatory manner 2) The agency promotes full and fair participation in decision making without regard to

race, color and national origin 3) Meaningful access to programs by persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)

One component of the guidance contained in FTA circular C4702.1B is the requirement of direct recipients to monitor and report on the compliance activities of sub-recipients to whom they allocate funds. In November, 2014, Caltrans notified STA that the Authority would be responsible for complying with the requirements and established a June 30, 2014 deadline for report submittal. In response to Caltrans and the FTA’s request, STA retained Nancy Whelan Consulting (NWC) to develop STA’s Title VI Program. The 2014 Title VI Program update represented the first Title VI Program that STA has completed. The Title VI compliance guidance dictates that the STA must adopt and submit a Title VI Program every 3 years. Caltrans notified STA that their second Title VI Program is due by July 30, 2017. STA, retained Nancy Whelan Consulting (NWC) to develop a Title VI Program Update. The 2017 Title VI Program update represents the second Title VI Program that STA has completed. The third update to the Title VI Program will be conducted in 2020. Discussion: FTA Circular C4702.1B provides recipients and sub-recipients of federal financial assistance with guidance and instruction necessary to carry out the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. STA receives federal funds for a number of programs and activities, including its general administrative operation, Solano Commuter Information, Safe Routes to School, and the Mobility Management program. However, management of projects in Caltrans or the local jurisdictions’ right of way would not be included, as STA is an “implementing agency” not a “project sponsor.” For those activities, Caltrans or the local jurisdictions would be responsible for Title VI compliance.

39

This program includes documentation that demonstrates compliance with the following required general elements:

1) Title VI notice to the public that indicates that the recipient complies with Title VI, and informs members of the public of the protections against discrimination afforded to them by Title VI.

2) Title VI Complaint Policy and instructions to the public on how to file a Title VI complaint, including a copy of the complaint form.

3) List of any Title VI Investigations, lawsuits or complaints filed in the last three years. 4) Public Participation Plan that includes an outreach plan to engage minority and

limited English proficient populations along with a summary of recent outreach or engagement efforts.

5) Language Assistance Plan to provide important information for persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP).

6) Report on racial breakdown of non-elected boards or advisory committees. 7) Board minutes that document board adoption of Title VI program.

An important aspect of the Title VI Program is that it must be adopted by the agency’s board and integrated in policy and in practice by the agency. As such, the Title VI Program and its associated Complaint Policy, Language Assistance Plan, and Public Participation Plan must become a tenet under which STA operates in order to ensure federal compliance. The Title VI Program commits the agency to undertake activities related to Title VI along with monitoring those activities. This includes updating the Title VI Program every three years that should be included in agency and staff work-plans. Following approval by the STA Board, these Title VI Program requirements will be implemented or phased in over the next year. Recommendation: Approve the following:

1. Adopt the STA’s 2017 Title VI Program as shown in Attachment A; and 2. Authorize the Executive Director to submit the STA’s Title VI Program to Caltrans.

Agenda Item 9.F July 12, 2017

DATE: June 29, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Brandon Thomson, Transit Mobility Coordinator RE: Amendment to Contract with Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates for

Intercity Taxi Scrip Phase 2 Program Background: On February 1, 2015, management of the Solano Intercity Taxi Scrip Program transitioned to the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) from Solano County. The Solano Intercity Taxi Program continues to be a popular program, with nearly all booklets available selling out each month. Phase II of this program will seek to incorporate non-ambulatory into the program. Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates have analyzed options for a new service delivery model and had recommended using the centralized reservation model for implementing Phase II of the Solano Intercity Taxi Scrip Program. The STA Board adopted the recommendation of utilizing a Centralized Reservation Agent, with the Solano Mobility being the implement agent on March 8, 2017. Discussion: The STA is currently under contract with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates until December 31, 2017. The current contract is to assess and develop a model for the addition of non-ambulatory patrons on the Solano Intercity Taxi Scrip Program, Phase II. Nelson\Nygaard has completed these tasks and there is an unused balance of $71,974 remaining on their contract. Now that Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Services has assessed and developed the model for the Solano Intercity Taxi Scrip Program, Phase II, STA staff will begin the implementation phase. The implementation of the Centralized Reservation Agent for Solano Intercity Taxi Scrip, Phase II is slated to begin January 1, 2018. STA staff is recommending to amend Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Services’ contract to include an updated Scope of Work (Attachment A) to assist STA Staff in the implementation phase. Additionally, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Services has estimated that their share of work for the implementation process would cost $107,900 (Attachment B), which means that STA would need to add $35,936 to the contract amendment and extend to time to June 30, 2018. Fiscal Impact: Solano County TDA in the amount of $107,900 will be used to cover this cost. Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to:

1. Amend Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates contract for implementation of the Intercity Taxi Scrip – Phase 2 Program for an amount not to exceed $35,936 and to include the new scope of work as shown in Attachment A; and

2. Extend Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates contract to June 30, 2018. Attachments:

Implementation Steps for Intercity Taxi with Central Call Taking

Tasks NN Role STA Role

1. Develop detailed call center procedures including use of a database, a script for receiving trip requests from customers, forwarding requests to providers, whether and when to have customers wait on hold while the provider is contacted, procedures for monitoring or following up on in-process trips, and checking rider accounts; procedures when accounts are insufficient for a requested ride, etc.

Meet with call center staff to discuss procedures and script. Produce a draft. Revise per STA comments.

Review and test. Continuing revision as needed.

2. Develop procedures for customers to buy credit / replenish their accounts. Eventually riders should be able to buy credit on-line, but as in interim step, and for customers who prefer not to go online, payment will need to be received either on the phone or by mail. Develop procedures for local operators to establish limits on customer purchases according to their budgetary arrangements. Develop procedures to implement those limits. Ensure the call center has procedures for receiving and processing checks and credit card payments. Confer with operators and decide on phase-in schedule, including whether to phase some operators before others.

Advise on requirements. Ensure the database is compatible with whatever arrangements are established. Participate in discussions.

Work with operators and STA finance to determine roles and procedures. Final decision on phasing.

3. Create a database with: 1) records for all participants, their eligibility, residential address, number of trips taken, credit in their account, trip history etc.; 2) data for each provider including trips provided, estimated fare, total amount due and status of payment. Ideally the database should be implemented “in the cloud” so it is automatically backed up and can be seamlessly accessed from multiple locations. Will probably require contracting with a software developer. The database must be developed in

Create database working with a subcontractor. Facilitate call center involvement.

Identify any hardware, connectivity, staffing constraints that affect database design.

Tasks NN Role STA Role tandem with procedures for the call center, so call takers are instructed how to interact with both the customer and the database

4. Determine how best to convey trip requests to providers. Assuming that providers are low-tech operations, they may want to receive faxes (physical pieces of paper for the dispatchers to look at) or they may be comfortable with email. (Eventually, a cloud-based database could eliminate the need for either faxes or email.)

Meet with providers and work out procedures.

Facilitate and participate in provider meetings.

5. Establish procedures for trip fares and paying providers. Taxi companies may prefer to continue to rely on taximeters rather than STA calculations for the trip based on mileage and estimated wait time. Frequency of payment and trip data reconciliation need to be determined. An interim approach may be to send companies STA’s estimate of the amount due based on an estimated fare calculated from map mileage and approximate waiting times, and give them the choice of: 1) accepting payment based STA’s calculations, or 2) waiting to send STA an invoice with documentation for each trip and then waiting for STA to check their trip billings.

Determine preferences of STA finance and call center. Ensure database includes needed functionality.

Determine preferences of operators. Resolve any legal issues regarding fares based on city ordinances.

6. Amend taxi agreements to include all of the above. Suggest amendment text. Participate in discussions with operators.

Work with operators to conclude amendments.

7. Identify a taxi company or other entity to receive calls when the STA call center is closed, establish procedures and guidelines for how it works with STA and other providers, and negotiate an agreement including rates of payment.

Identify requirements and realistic rates. Participate in discussion with potential vendors.

10. Develop public information materials and conduct a public information campaign. Public education will need to assure riders that they will not “lose their scrip” and help them make a seamless transition to a completely new way of arranging and paying for trips. Develop program branding that emphasizes continuity, for example ‘Intercity Taxi v-Scrip’. Public education will need to include public meetings, mailings, receiving and responding to telephone requests for information, education of local staff who communicate with customers, and education of taxi drivers to ensure that they provide accurate information to their riders.

Develop detailed call center procedures including use of a database, a script for receiving trip requests from customers, forwarding requests to providers, whether and when to have customers wait on hold while the provider is contacted, procedures for monitoring or following up on in-process trips, and checking rider accounts; procedures when accounts are insufficient for a requested ride, etc.

Develop public information materials and conduct a public information campaign. Public education will need to assure riders that they will not “lose their scrip” and help them make a seamless transition to a completely new way of arranging and paying for trips.Develop program branding that emphasizes continuity, for example "Intercity Taxi v-Scrip." Public education will need to include public meetings, mailings, receiving and responding to telephone requests for information, education of local staff who communicate with customers, and education of taxi drivers to ensure that they provide accurate information to their riders.

Identify a taxi company or other entity to receive calls when the STA call center is closed, establish procedures and guidelines for how it works with STA and other providers, and negotiate an agreement including rates of payment.

Identify providers of wheelchair accessible service, determine a basis of payment (rates), what response time they can commit to, procedures for transmitting and monitoring trips, reimbursement procedures.

Create a database with: 1) records for all participants, their eligibility, residential address, number of trips taken, credit in their account, trip history etc.; 2) data for each provider including trips provided, estimated fare, total amount due and status of payment. Ideally the database should be implemented “in the cloud” so it is automatically backed up and can be seamlessly accessed from multiple locations. Will probably require contracting with a software developer. The database must be developed in tandem with procedures for the call center, so call takers are instructed how to interact with both the customer and the database

Establish procedures for trip fares and paying providers. Taxi companies may prefer to continue to rely on taximeters rather than STA calculations for the trip based on mileage and estimated wait time. Frequency of payment and trip data reconciliation need to be determined. An interim approach may be to send companies STA’s estimate of the amount due based on an estimated fare calculated from map mileage and approximate waiting times, and give them the choice of: 1) accepting payment based STA’s calculations, or 2) waiting to send STA an invoice with documentation for each trip and then waiting for STA to check their trip billings.

Agenda Item 9.G July 12, 2017

DATE: July 3, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Senior Project Manager RE: 2017 Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) Update and Project

Recommendations Background: The STA and the County of Solano coordinates on the collection and management of the Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF), a transportation component of the County’s Public Facilities Fee (PFF). The County Board of Supervisors added a $1,500 per dwelling unit equivalent dedicated to the RTIF program as part of the PFF at on December 3, 2013. The RTIF collection formally began on February 3, 2014 with $3.6 million collected as of the 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017-18. Seven RTIF Working Groups were created to administer the RTIF funds for transportation projects that address development growth. Five of the seven RTIF Working Groups are geographically situated with the City of Fairfield (3 of 5) and the County of Solano (5 of 5) located in multiple Working Groups. Attachment A illustrates the five RTIF Working Group boundaries. The remaining two working groups were created separately with a 10% off the top revenue dedication (5% each) for both the unincorporated County area and transit related projects. The selected RTIF eligible transportation projects for each Working Group are the following:

1. Working Group District 1- Jepson Parkway 2. Working Group District 2- Hwy 12/Church Road Project 3. Working Group District 3- Fairgrounds Drive/Fairgrounds 4. Working Group District 4- Green Valley Overcrossing 5. Working Group District 5- Intersection Safety Improvements at Midway, Pedrick, Pitt

School and Porter Roads 6. Transit Working Group District 6- Benicia Bus Hub 7. County Unincorporated Working Group District 7- Midway and Vaca Valley Roads

The RTIF Working Groups meet at least once annually to provide a status update on the program and the selected project. Discussion: All seven RTIF Working Groups met between the March and June this year. All of the Working Groups are making progress on their projects with three completed or nearing completion:

1. Working Group 1 – Jepson Parkway – 2 phases under construction 2. Working Group 2- Hwy 12 Church Road Environmental Documents and completed

design phase agreement under development 3. Working Group 3- Benicia Bus Hub – construction nearing completion 4. Working Group 4 – Green Valley Overpass - construction nearing completion

49

With the completion of the Benicia Bus Hub Project, Working Group 3 recommended the remaining RTIF revenue collected through FY 2017-18 for the Solano County/Vallejo Fairgrounds Drive Project. However, STA staff is recommending modification to this by dedicating the funds toward the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive SolanoExpress Bus Stop project (a multimodal component of the Fairgrounds Drive Project) for the next 6 fiscal years to match Working Group 6’s RTIF recommendation. Working Group 6 also recommended their revenue be dedicated to the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive SolanoExpress Bus Stop project for the next 6 years as part of a finance plan to fully fund the $1.8 million project with $1 million being provided by MTC based on a request by STA. The estimated RTIF revenue from Working Groups 3 and 6 over the next 6 years is $450,000. The project is currently in the Environmental/Design Phase. Working Group 2 agreed to recommend to continue allocating RTIF funds for the SR 12/Church Road Project as part of the Design and Right of Way phase. The Working Group recommended $20k to fund a SR 113 Corridor Study in the City of Dixon and a small section of unincorporated Solano County (South of the City of Dixon). No other changes were recommended by the other Working Groups. Attachment B includes all current and recommended changes to each RTIF Working Group’s projects. STA staff will be preparing the 4th Annual RTIF Report and will provide present it for approval at the August or September Board meeting. Fiscal Impact: None to the STA Budget. Funding is provided by the STA’s Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF). Recommendation: Approve the RTIF Working Groups project recommendations as specified in Attachment B. Attachments:

Agenda Item 9.H July 12, 2017

DATE: July 3, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Senior Project Manager RE: SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive SolanoExpress Bus Stop Environmental and

Design Project Background: The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) prepared the I-80/I-680/I-780/State Route 12 Transit Corridor Study to identify strategies to increase operating speeds for the SolanoExpress bus service. Improvements identified in the study included the use of On-Line Stations, facilities that allow the bus to stop without leaving the freeway right of way. In order to begin implementing this strategy, the STA intends to construct bus pullouts near the on-ramp terminals at the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive interchange. This will allow the planned SolanoExpress Green Line bus service to remain on SR 37 and reduce running times between stops by allowing buses to remain on freeway ramps and avoid city streets. The pullouts will accommodate the planned Green Line service on SR 37 for ridership to/from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the Solano County Fairgrounds, and residential neighborhoods north of SR 37. In addition, the planned Green Line service will connect riders from the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive stop to the Vallejo Ferry, El Cerrito/Del Norte BART, Solano Community College and the Suisun City Capitol Corridor Train Station. The scope of the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive SolanoExpress Bus Stop also includes pedestrian and bicycle access to the stops. This is the first improvement planned for the larger Fairgrounds Drive Project which spans from SR 37 to I-80/Redwood Drive Interchange. Discussion: STA staff is recommending a continuation of HQE’s consultant contract to complete the Environmental and Design phase of the project. HQE previously managed the Project Study Report (PSR) for the I-80 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes between the Carquinez Bridge and the Columbus Parkway (Route 37), the improvements to the Redwood Parkway eastbound off-ramp, and the new Turner Parkway Extension Overcrossing. The PSR is comprised of the following primary components: the I-80 HOV Lanes, Park-and-Ride Lot, improvements to the Redwood Parkway Interchange, reasons for eliminating the alternative for a new Turner Parkway Overcrossing/Interchange, and improvements at the Route 37/Fairgrounds Drive Interchange. Estimated construction cost is $120 million; $10 million R/W. HQE’s responsibilities for the project included:

Project Management/Administration Geometric Approval Drawings

Design Exception Fact Sheets Conceptual Approval (Caltrans) Conceptual Modified Access Approval (FHWA) Project Study Report Coordination with Caltrans, FHWA, STA, Solano County and City of Vallejo

Through a continuation of HQE’s contract with STA, HQE can build on their knowledge and expertise of their previous scope of work and apply it toward the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive SolanoExpress Bus Stop Project. Details of the Scope of Work is included as Attachment A. Fiscal Impact: The Environmental and Design Phase of the project is estimated to cost $200,000. STA has budgeted $100,000 from State Transit Assistance Funds and $100,000 from Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) to complete this project. Recommendation: Authorize the STA Executive Director to finalize the SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive SolanoExpress Bus Stop Project scope of work and execute an amendment for $200,000 with HQE’s agreement to include the scope.

Agenda Item 9.I July 12, 2017

DATE: July 3, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Senior Project Manager RE: Contract Amendment with Project Finance Advisory Limited (PFAL) for

SR 37 Corridor Financial Opportunities Analysis Background: On October 14, 2015, the STA Board authorized STA staff to seek and fund a Public Private Partnership (P3) Consultant Firm to evaluate potential P3 financial solutions to improve the SR 37 corridor. The STA Board’s authorization was just prior to the formation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) partnership between the transportation authorities of Marin, Napa, Sonoma and Solano. In recognition of the benefits of a corridor-wide financial evaluation approach, the MOU group members agreed to share the cost and contribute financially towards a P3 Consultant Firm for a total budget not to exceed $85,000. The STA Board authorized a contribution of up to $50,000; however, as the new partnerships were formed and additional contributions were made by the other participating Transportation Authorities, STA’s contribution for the P3 financial consultant was reduced to $30,000. Project Finance Advisory Limited (PFAL) was selected as a result of a Request for Proposal selection process that included consultant interviews. The Scope of Work, titled “SR 37 Corridor Financial Opportunities Analysis”, included the following tasks and an initial budget of $65,000 with a $20,000 contingency:

1. Case Studies of similarly financed large capital transportation projects; 2. Decision Making Finance Toolbox to assist in decision making strategies with relevant

time schedules; 3. Toll Revenue Forecast & Affordability Analysis with preliminary estimates based on

similar toll pricing structures in the Bay Area with exiting and forecasted corridor traffic conditions; and

4. Final Report summarizing results from each previous tasks. PFAL satisfactorily concluded the majority of their tasks by March 2016; however, additional outreach and staff meetings were needed to conclude their scope of work. Their agreement was amended (PFAL Phase 2 scope) in May 2017 to include the remaining $20,000 contingency budget in order to accommodate additional outreach and completion of their final report. PFAL is anticipated to complete Phase 2 scope of work by July 31st. While PFAL’s effort was largely concluding over the last two months, the four North Bay Transportation Authorities and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) started to ramp up their efforts to develop a Design Alternative Assessment (DAA) of SR 37. The DAA is a Project Initiation Document (PID) equivalent report that is a necessary precursor document to an environmental document. The SR 37’s DAA is being developed in two phases. Phase 1 focuses

59

on the concept level improvements for the entire SR 37 corridor from I-80 in Solano County to SR101 in Marin County. Phase 2 is a more detailed analysis that focuses on near term, mid- term and long term improvements for the most vulnerable segment of the corridor, likely the segment between Mare Island in Vallejo and SR 121 in Sonoma County. The most vulnerable segment will be determined as part of MTC’s Phase 1 analysis and will be based on a combination of sea level rise impacts and traffic congestion. Discussion: STA staff is recommending an amendment to PFAL’s agreement for a third phase of work. On May 10, 2017, the STA Board approved a recommendation for STA from STA Chair Jim Spering and Vallejo Mayor Bob Sampayan to be the lead agency for Segments B and C of the SR 37 Corridor. This action allows the STA to be the lead agency responsible for working with Caltrans, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA), and the SR 37 Policy Committee to advance the initial set of projects on SR 37 that will be identified in MTC’s SR 37 Corridor Study. Designation of a lead agency for the project also enables more meaningful consideration on various options for financing the first set of SR 37 Corridor projects. This would include discussions with BATA, Caltrans, CalSTA, and potential private sector funding partners. STA staff is recommending that PFAL continue advising the STA Board as these financial discussions continue based on the most recent financial assessment of the corridor and their expertise in these type of discussions. In addition, the SR 37 Corridor DAA is anticipated to conclude next year with new traffic analysis and more project level design and cost details. PFAL’s current work is based on a study completed by UC Davis and Caltrans in 2015 that included high level planned project concepts. STA staff is recommending PFAL prepare a project market assessment and review and discuss the MTC SR 37 corridor financing options and key assumptions provided by BATA, Caltrans, CalSTA, and potential private sector partners. Additionally, PFAL assist with public outreach in presenting toll options and financial feasibility based on PFAL Phase 1 scope of work analysis. STA staff recommends amending PFAL contract to add Phase 3 scope of work is included as Attachment A. Fiscal Impact: STA staff is recommending $50,000 to complete the additional scope of work; however, there is $20,000 in budget authority remaining from the STA Board’s action on October 14, 2015. Member Contribution funds are being recommended for the remaining $30,000. Recommendation: Authorize the STA Executive Director to enter into a contract amendment with PFAL for an amount not-to-exceed $50,000 to accomplish Scope of Work as specified in Attachment A. Attachment:

Agenda Item 9.J July 12, 2017

DATE: June 30, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Senior Project Manager RE: State Route 37 (SR 37) Environmental Liaison Consultant Background: The past ten years, STA staff has developed extensive experience in the various phases of project delivery. This has included completing nine environmental documents, 10 design documents, right of way activities for seven projects, and managed six construction projects. Equally important, the STA Board has exhibited the political leadership to provide policy direction and take action in support of these efforts. On May 10, 2017, the STA Board approved a recommendation from STA Chair Jim Spering and Vallejo Mayor Bob Sampayan for STA to be the lead agency for project delivery on SR 37 for the corridor segments B (SR 121 to Mare Island Interchange) and C (Mare Island Interchange to I-80). The lead agency is responsible for working with Caltrans, the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA), and the SR 37 Policy Committee to advance the initial set of projects on SR 37 that will be identified in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) SR 37 Corridor Study. The STA as the lead agency for the project will now be enable to have more meaningful consideration on various options for financing the first set of SR 37 Corridor projects. This would include discussions with BATA, Caltrans, CalSTA, and potential private sector partners. It also includes preparing to transition from SR 37 Corridor Study, being undertaken by STA, the other three North Bay Transportation Authorities and MTC, to initiate the environmental document for Segments B and C. On June 14th, the STA Board provided direction to STA staff regarding the process for moving the project forward. This includes establishment of an environmental task force. Discussion: The environmental task force for SR 37 is comprised of decision makers from the STA Board, Solano County Board of Supervisors, Bay Conservation and Development Commissioners, Vallejo Council and Napa and Sonoma Counties. The SR 37 Environmental Task Force will be responsible for developing Guiding Principles related to:

Flood Protection Sea Level Adaptation Environmental Justice and Equity Environmental Mitigation Transit Alternatives Corridor Congestion

63

The Task Force will work in parallel with the SR 37 Corridor Study. The Study is currently underway and is anticipated to be completed in Spring 2018. The Task Force’s guiding principles are intended to assist in the evaluation of the initial set of projects anticipated from the Corridor Study, as part of the environmental phase of the project. The Task Force’s recommendations will be reviewed by a Project Delivery Group and ultimately the STA Board. STA staff will also report on any actions the STA Board takes, based on the Task Force’s recommendations, to the SR 37 Policy Committee. Given the complexity of this task, STA staff is recommending consultant support services to assist in managing coordination with the Task Force and other environmental agencies. In addition, STA staff is seeking expertise in developing a Project Definition and Implementation Plan, necessary for a future environmental document. Steve Kinsey from Alta Planning is recommended to be retained based on his familiarity with the SR 37 Corridor and his experience in working with MTC and other agencies and counties involved in the process. The budget for this scope of work is $25,000. Fiscal Impact: STA staff recommends $25,000 from local gas tax available to complete this scope of work. Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to:

1. Finalize the scope of work for the project; and 2. Enter into a contract with Alta Planning for an amount not to exceed $25,000 to assist

STA in the development of the environmental document for SR 37 Segments B and C.

Agenda Item 9.K July 12, 2017

DATE: June 30, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Senior Project Manager RE: I-80 Corridor Economic Analysis Background: The STA Board unanimously approved the I-80 Express Lanes, the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange, and the I-80 Westbound Truck Scales as Solano County’s top priority transportation projects for SB 1 freight and congested corridors and future toll funds. All three projects are in various stages of advanced project readiness and ready for construction funds. I-80 Express Lanes The Project will consist of both new High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes and conversion of existing HOV to Express Lanes on I-80 between Red Top Road in Fairfield and I-505 in Vacaville for a total of 18-miles in Solano County. The project will enhance travel options of carpools, buses and Express Bus. It will also increase travel time savings and reliability for all motorist and freight on the I-80 corridor. Status: The project is environmentally cleared and is under design. 100% PS&E will be by end of 2017. No R/W acquisition and utility relocations required. I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange (Construction Packages 2A, 2B and 3) The Project will improve safety, freight capacity and travel times on I-80, I-680, SR 12 and adjacent city streets. Project features include a realignment of I-680, an improved direct connector route between I-80 and Highway 12, construction of new interchange overcrossings, new entrance/exit ramps, bike and pedestrian safety improvements and the extension of some local streets leading to I-80 and Highway 12. Status: The project is being implemented through seven individual construction packages, each with independent utility. CEQA/NEPA Completed. Project Permitted. Construction Packages 2A is ready for a CMCG advertising, 2B is designed and ready to begin R/W and Package 3 is 65% designed. I-80 Westbound Cordelia Truck Scales Relocation The Project will replace the existing Cordelia Truck Scales along Westbound I-80 in Solano County. Project features include state of the art freight weigh-in-motion and camera technology, replacement of two dynamic and one static scale, four inspection bays which will increase security and capacity for truck inspections. The current facility is outdated and under capacity, causing frequent closures and no weight or inspections of by-passed trucks. Status: The project has CEQA clearance, is currently seeking funding for design, R/W and construction.

67

Discussion: With the passage of the California Transportation Senate Bill 1, two substantial funding opportunities have become available: Trade Corridors ($280 million annually) and Solutions for Congested Corridors ($250 million annually). The STA’s top three transportation priority projects are ideal candidates for both State funding programs. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is currently developing program guidelines for the two programs and are anticipated to complete them by Fall of 2017. STA staff and MTC staff will coordinate with Caltrans and CTC staff as part of the program guidelines development; however, one key early component for both programs is economic impact/benefit. Given the importance of economic impact to both upcoming funding programs, STA staff proposes to partner with Solano Economic Development Corporation (EDC) to analyze the economic impact to all three STA transportation priorities. With Solano EDC’s recent completion of the “Moving Solano Forward” Economic Strategy, funded by the County of Solano, Solano EDC has access to recent economic data. The two main objectives are to analyze the immediate economic impact of the project’s construction or project phase and the economic impact of the project after completion and the infrastructure is used. Data obtained by this economic analysis will be instrumental in the upcoming SB 1 Grant Program’s call for projects. The proposed scope of work is included as Attachment A. STA is a member of the Solano EDC, which is the most qualified agency to conduct this analysis given their role and network with Solano cities and county governments as well as the Solano business community. The Solano EDC has also conducted a similar economic analysis, in partnership with the STA, for the Hwy 12 Corridor. The economic analysis would be conducted by Sean Quinn, the Project Manager for “Moving Solano Forward” and Dr. Robert Tyler, Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for Regional Economic Analysis at Sonoma State. STA staff is recommending a budget of $25,000 to complete this task. Fiscal Impact: $25,000 from Planning, Programming and Monitoring (PPM) funds is recommended to complete the I-80 Corridor Economic Analysis for the STA’s top three transportation projects. Recommendation: Authorize the STA Executive Director to enter into an agreement with Solano Economic Development Corporation for an amount not to exceed $25,000 to complete the I-80 Corridor Economic Analysis as outlined in Attachment A.

I‐80 Corridor Economic Analyses

Preamble

This is a scope of work for a study on improvement to Interstate 80 for Solano

Transportation Authority (STA). These improvements have economic impacts during

construction and afterward based on how the improvements support economic

development in Solano County and beyond. Three infrastructure improvements and

augmentations in Solano County include:

1. I�80 Westbound Cordelia Truck Scales Improvements;

2. I‐80/I‐680/SR12 Interchange Project; and

3. I‐80 Express Lanes: West of Red Top Road to East of I‐505.

Scope of Work

This report covers all three improvements and provides a general economic analyses.

These projects have different, individual requirements in terms of estimating potential

economic effects; projects differ in length of time to final construction, changing the

number of years before any economic development support takes place beyond

construction. The different time lengths are addressed in the report.

There are two categorical phases of economic impacts. The first is the

construction or project phase. Hiring workers and spending on materials and other

resources begin effects that lead to more spending throughout Solano County. Given

the funding a mix of sources, there is net inbound resources that act like economic

stimulus to the county economy. Pro forma budgets are needed for the improvements’

costs as input to the economic impact model to measure these impacts.

The second phase of economic impacts is after construction is complete and the

infrastructure is used. Gains such as increased productivity and traffic/accident

mitigation with this expansion of Solano County’s corridor assets are discussed, as is

new net tourism flows. There may also be some negative impacts, likely relatively

small, such as reduced revenue based on traffic forcing consumers off the corridor

infrastructure; in net these effects are likely very positive. A literature review provides

the basis by which such improvements can be logically linked to future economic

benefits for economic and workforce development regionally.

69

A comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) report is on the way in

Solano County, and these results should be tied to that study such that how federal

dollars may be pursued for these three projects. A proposed project outline is below.

Project Outline

1. Introduction and overview of issue

2. Data description

a. Construction phases and costs

b. Commuting workers and the recent history for Solano County

c. ABAG data on laborshed as a beginning (2010 – 2040) from Plan Bay Area

i. Assumption that traffic patterns likely to follow changes in housing

and overall employment

d. Other data on traffic flows, truck use of scales in both directions, and other

data as germane to the individual study

3. Project Descriptions

a. I‐80 Westbound Cordelia Truck Scales Improvements

i. A valuation of increasing processing capacity from 500‐700 trucks

per day to 1,000 per hour given truck traffic estimates over a five‐

year timeline

a. Reduction in congestion

b. Reduction of accidents ii. Construction benefits (short‐term) while project dollars are spent

b. I‐80/I‐680/SR12 Interchange Project i. Construction efforts and infusion of state and federal dollars for

improvements.

ii. Productivity gains from reduce travel times given 2035 estimates

iii. Based on wages of workers moving across corridors, the marginal

change in people moving and also time reduction from home to

work means more worker productivity in theory

iv. Analysis would be done by looking as phases and over time from

2018 to 2035

a. Use ABAG data to derive laborshed and commute patterns

as a way to analyze gains in productivity.

b. Gains outside construction are more limited and speculative

due to longer completion timeline

c. I‐80 Express Lanes

i. This would be a construction effort to extend the HOV lanes in

eastern Solano County to an 18‐mile stretch.

70

ii. The additional 9 miles would have a toll based on Fastrak, and

provide revenue for maintenance and other roadway needs.

iii. The goal is to reduce congestion and delays otherwise, leading to

gains to productivity and worker budgets by using less gas and

having less wear and tear.

iv. Safety and reduced congestion make for more productive workers

and flow of commerce across I‐80 by freeing up other lanes for

truck traffic

a. Productivity gains depends on the number of workers

moving across the new nine miles (as well as the original 9

miles)

b. Wages and reduced times becomes the estimated gains

c. There may be some offsets from tourism retail (as well as

worker retail), if traffic provides an incentive to pull off I‐80

and shop will traffic is reduced.

4. Economic Impact Analysis

a. Use of construction cost estimates and projected gains in worker

productivity and reduced delays/congestion and possible net tourism

gains acts as inputs to the model

i. There may be other gains and losses in net discovered through the

literature review

b. Direct impacts and estimated employment changes from budgeted dollars

to be spent

c. Induced and indirect impacts on business revenues and employment

d. State and local tax gains e. Other gains due to toll road or other revenues generated

i. Tourism: more business revenue and transient occupancy tax

revenue

f. Possible long‐term costs as reductions to economic impacts

5. Qualitative issues and caveats

a. Productivity in the aggregate an estimate and not easy to measure

b. Commuting workers difficult to estimate

i. ABAG data provides some estimate on employment by county, and

recent data provides some estimates on commute flow

ii. No knowledge on wages in 2020, 2030 or beyond

6. Conclusions and recommendations

Agenda Item 9.L July 12, 2017

DATE: June 30, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Janet Adams, Deputy Executive Director/Director of Projects RE: I-80/I-680/State Route (SR) 12 Interchange Project Background: Since 2001, STA staff has been working with project consultants, Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to complete improvements to the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange Complex. In order to advance improvements to the Interchange in a timely fashion, four separate projects were identified for delivery including the I-80 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes Project, the North Connector Project, the I-80 Eastbound Cordelia Truck Scales Relocation Project and the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange Project. The I-80 HOV Lanes Project has been completed, the North Connector (east portion) Project has been completed (with the exception of the mitigation monitoring), the I-80 Eastbound Cordelia Truck Scales Relocation Project has been completed and the Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange (subject of this staff report) was approved in December 2012, with Construction Packages 1-3 now in various phases of implementation. The Initial Construction Package (ICP) is under construction and scheduled to be fully opened to traffic in August 2017, Construction Package 2 (CP2) is in the final design phase, and Construction Package 3 (CP3) has been designed to the 65% level. Discussion: Initial Construction Package As mentioned above, the Initial Construction Package (ICP), which reconstructs the Westbound (WB) I-80 to SR 12 (West) Connector and Green Valley Road Interchange, is now under construction. The construction is expected to be completed over the next few months and the project will need to be closed out. Remaining design services during construction and closeout activities for ICP is estimated at $185,000. As such, staff is recommending $185,000 be transferred from the I-80 Eastbound Truck Scales Project Construction Phase to the I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange – ICP project Final Design (PS&E) Phase. Construction Package 2 Construction Package 2 (CP2), which consists of constructing a new partial interchange on I-680 at Red Top Road, is in the design phase, with the Final PS&E submitted to Caltrans for review in June 2017. During the design process, it was necessary to have PG&E perform design services for the relocation of gas transmission and distribution facilities. The total estimated cost for PG&E design services are estimated at $400,000, which are funding out of the Right of Way phase. As such, staff is recommending $400,000 be transferred from the I-80 Eastbound Truck Scales Project Construction Phase to the I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange – CP2 project Right of Way Phase. 73

As part of the standard process, in order to process an allocation transfer request from MTC, STA is required to approve the attached resolution, the Initial Project Report (IPR) for RM2 Project 7 and cash flow plan (attachments to resolution) (Attachment A). Fiscal Impact: With this approach, the $585,000 of Regional Measure 2 or Bridge Toll funds will be transferred from the I-80 Eastbound Truck Scales Project to the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange – ICP Final Design Phase and the CP2 Right-of-Way Phase. Recommendation: Approve the Resolution 2017-06 and Funding Allocation Transfer Request from Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to transfer $185,000 in Regional Measure 2 or Bridge Toll funds to the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange – ICP Final Design Phase and $400,000 to the CP2 Right-of-Way Phase.

Impediments to Project Completion

Operability

Solano Transportation Authority is the project sponsor and implementing agency.

The I-80/I-680/SR-12 Interchange experiences traffic congestion due to San Francisco Bay Area commuter traffic, regional traffic using the interstate system, and recreational traffic traveling between the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe. The objectives of the proposed project are to alleviate congestion, improve safety, and provide for existing and proposed traffic demand by upgrading the capacity of the freeway and completing a local roadway system that will provide local travelers alternatives to using the freeways for local trips.

The I-80/I-680/State Route (SR) 12 Interchange Project proposes improvements to address traffic operations and congestion in the existing interchange complex, which is located in Solano County. Improvements being considered or cleared in the Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) and other environmental documents include the following components: modification of existing interchanges, adding freeway lanes, constructing new interchanges, auxiliary lanes, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and frontage roads within and adjacent to existing freeway rights of way, relocation of the existing westbound truck scales within the interchange area to improve ingress and egress of the truck traffic.

Caltrans will be responsible for owning and operating the mainline I/C and I-80 WB Truck Scale improvements.

The major impediment to accomplish the project completion will be securing necessary funds to complete the interchange improvements. However, there are deliverable phases of this project that are serviceable, provide independent utility and have logical termini. Some of these phases (as discussed below) can be and are being delivered by currently identified fund sources. The STA is currently delivering the I-80/I-680/SR12 I/C improvements, with the expectation that the I/C improvements will need to be constructed with multiple construction packages.

I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange Project -The environmental document (EIR/EIS) for the I-80/I-680/SR12 I/C Project was approved in December 2012. The document covers the entire project and as such, a Notice of Determination (NOD) has been approved for the entire project. However, a Record of Decision (ROD) has been issued for the fundable first phase.

Final Design for the first construction package (Initial Construction Package (ICP) was completed in May 2013. Final Design for I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange - Construction Packages 2 is underway. Preliminary Design for Construction Package 3 has been completed, but sufficient funding is not available for Construction Package 3 to proceed with Final Design.

Right-of-way acquisition for ICP started in spring 2012 and was completed. Activities required to transfer the right-of-way to Caltrans is underway. Closeout of utility relocations are underway. Although right-of-way acquisition for Construction Package 2 and 3 has not started, the developer of the Goldhill Village Development has dedicated easements for the relocation of the Benicia NBA water pipeline and the Fairfield-Suisun Sanitation District sewer pipeline.

It is currently envisioned that the fundable phase of the I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange will be implemented with 7 construction packages. The first construction package (Initial Construction Package (ICP)) started construction in spring/summer 2014 and is expected to be completed in late summer/early fall 2017. Construction of Construction Packages 2 and 3 has not been scheduled at this time.

Agenda Item 9.M July 12, 2017

DATE: July 5, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Daryl Halls, Executive Director

Anthony Adams, Project Manager RE: One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 (OBAG 2) Surface Transportation Program (STP),

Revised Funding Recommendations

Background: Every four to five years, federal cycle funds are available for distribution at the regional level. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) calls these federal cycle funds the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG). MTC has now set out policies and established funding amounts for the second cycle of OBAG called OBAG 2. This covers Fiscal Years (FYs) 2017-18 through 2021-22. Based on MTC’s criteria for distribution, population and housing production, STA was allocated a total $21.17M over the next five years.

At its meeting on September 14, 2016, the STA Board programmed $2.75 million in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds to sustain the Solano Safe Routes to School and Solano Mobility/Rideshare Programs, $6.86 million in OBAG 2 Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds to fund STA’s planning, project delivery and fund programming efforts over the five year cycle. At this meeting $4.64 million was set aside for CMAQ call for projects, $5.9 million in STP funds were set aside to the cities by formula distribution for eligible activities (such as road maintenance and safety projects) and $1.506 million in Federal Aid Secondary (FAS) and $2.05 million of North Bay Priority Conservation Area (PCA) funds have been set aside to the County of Solano.

At the June 14, 2017 STA Board meeting, $5.9 million in STP funds, $1.056 million in FAS funds, and $2.05 million in PCA funds were programmed to STA’s member agency projects.

Discussion: Delayed Programming At the June 14, 2017 STA Board meeting, the staff report identified that STP programming for two cities, Fairfield and Vallejo, may need to be redirected by the STA Board to help resolve two separate and unresolved funding agreements. Reprogramming of STP funds for Fairfield and Vallejo In consultation with STA Board’s Executive Committee and legal counsel, STA staff has been meeting with the cities of Fairfield and Vallejo to attempt to resolve two separate and unresolved financial obligations with the STA due to a I-80/I-680/SR 12 water line relocation (Vallejo) and the Jepson Parkway Phase 2 project (Fairfield.) These unresolved financial obligations must be addressed, and it is the responsibility of the STA, as the CMA for Solano County, to program federal funds within the County. STA’s options for addressing these funding obligations are limited without negatively impacting other projects or financially impacting the other six member agencies.

91

Jepson Parkway/City of Fairfield The Jepson Parkway Funding Agreement Amendment between the City of Fairfield and the STA has been in discussion since early 2016. An Amendment is required as the project has been spilt into two construction projects and the project costs for segments managed by the City of Fairfield have significantly increased. The two parties have been meeting, but have been unable to resolve the funding agreement. STA staff is seeking to have the City of Fairfield repay STA for the loan advanced from the STA’s Project Contingency Reserve Account (PCRA) of $1.6 million and have its State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds that were obligated by the City, fully credited to the STA. STA staff is also recommending to have the funding obligations to the project conclude with this current construction project. Staff is seeking to conclude its funding obligation as the costs have significantly increased and the STA’s funding abilities through the STIP are limited with the California Transportation Commission (CTC) push to move STIP funding to the on-system projects, like I-80. In addition, STA staff is planning to recommend the STA Board utilize future STIP funds as match to leverage future SB 1 and RM 3 funds for three major I-80 projects. Interchange Waterline/City of Vallejo As part of the I-80/I-680/State Route (SR) 12 Interchange Initial Construction Package, a major waterline for the City of Vallejo was relocated due to conflicts with the improvements. In order to avoid losing millions of dollars in construction funding, the two parties executed a Disputed Relocation Agreement. This Agreement was executed in February 2013. Since that time, the STA has not been able to resolve the financial liability with the City. The construction cost of this relocation is $1,556,793. This amount includes the bid items and Contract Change Orders issued during construction. The City and its legal counsel have disputed their financial liability for the portion outside of the State Right-of-Way (57%), stating that they have prior rights, they just have been unable to locate the documentation of this. 43% of the utility was within State Right-of-Way and is not being disputed, but the City has yet to provide payment for this portion. Recommendation to Resolve Funding Agreement The OBAG 2 programming deadline into the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) is August 2017. These funds are one of the only source of funding that can be used by STA to off-set the financial obligations of one or both cities, should they not be able to use other local funds. On June 29th, staff presented an update on both funding agreements to the STA Board Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is recommending these STP funds be re-programmed to cover the costs of these unresolved funding obligations by the two cities. A portion of the City of Vallejo’s STP distribution, $1,556,793 will be programmed to STA for the Vallejo waterline relocated associated with the I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange Project and the remaining amount of $518,481 will be programmed to Vallejo’s Sacramento St. Overlay Project. The Executive Committee is recommending that the City of Fairfield’s entire STP formula distribution amount of $1,407,095 be re-programmed to STA for Phase 3 of the Jepson Parkway (along Leisure Town Rd. from Elmira to I-80) to repay the STA’s loan of PCRA funds for right-of-way. STA staff and legal counsel are continuing to meet with both Fairfield and Vallejo to attempt to resolve both separate funding agreements and have added recommendation #4 to provide flexibility in the event agreement can be resolved for one or both agreements prior to the August 2018 deadline for programming the STP funds in the TIP. Fiscal Impact: There is an 11.47% non-Federal match required for OBAG 2 projects.

92

Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to program federal STP funds as specified:

1. $518,481 in STP to Vallejo’s Sacramento St. Overlay; 2. $1,556,793 from Vallejo’s STP shares to STA to cover the costs of Vallejo’s Waterline

Relocation for I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange Project; and 3. $1,407,095 Fairfield’s STP shares to STA for repayment of Right-of-Way costs for Jepson

Parkway Phase 3; and 4. Authorize the Executive Director to continue to work with the City of Vallejo and the City

of Fairfield if alternative funding options are identified for these projects. Attachments:

Fairfield STP Swap and Jepson Parkway Funding Agreement Summary

What are STA’s Issues?: STA originally agreed to pay 50% of the costs for Phase 2 of Jepson Parkway. Since that time the project has been split into 2 phases, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Project costs for this Phase has escalated from $34.3M to $64.8M. STA would like to conclude its agreement with Fairfield on Jepson Parkway and no longer be a funding partner with Fairfield on Phase 2B. The STA does not have the financial resources available to cover these increased costs, as the STIP programming in future years will likely be limited by the CTC to on-system projects.

What did the original funding agreement say?: This funding agreement was between the City of Fairfield and STA. STA agreed to pay 50% of the costs of the project for Phase 2 (now called Phase 2A and 2B). If STA contributed more than 50% of the total project cost, then the difference would be paid back by the City of Fairfield to STA.

How much did STA Contribute to Jepson Parkway Phase 2?: STA contributed $19,501,813 in total to Phase 2A of Jepson Parkway. This includes $13,822,000 in STIP funds that Fairfield obligated for CON in FY 2016-17.

How much is owed to STA?: The total project cost for Phase 2A is now estimated at $35,287,450; 50% is $17,643,725. Therefore, the STA is seeking that the City of Fairfield pay the STA the difference between $19,501,813 - $17,643,725 = $1,858,088. Of the funding contributed by the STA, it includes a loan from the STA Project Contingency Fund of $1.1 million. Additionally with the right-of-way relocation services not yet completed for a business in the Phase 2A, there will be the need for cash on hand to pay for these expenses. Therefore, the STA has urgency to resolve this issue.

How will these funds be paid back?: STA is requesting a payment of $1.686M payable in two installments with an agreement to pay back the remaining $172,088. Since Fairfield has yet to satisfy this request, STA is recommending reprogramming their OBAG Cycle 2 STP shares to Jepson Parkway Phase 3.

What are Fairfield’s Issues?: Fairfield’s construction bids were lower than estimated, at only $11M, less than the $13.8M that was obligated by the City from the STIP funds. Fairfield wants STA to only receive credit for the actual costs, not the obligated amount. Note: STIP funds obligated, but not utilized on a project, are not able to be reprogrammed and are therefore lost.

Fairfield would also like STA to honor the original commitment to split 50% of the future costs of Jepson Parkway Phase 2B.

What is the product going forward?: It is the goal of STA to conclude its financial partnership with Fairfield on the future phase of Jepson Parkway 2B. STA is seeking to recover its over-investment in Phase 2A by programming Fairfield’s STP shares to Jepson Parkway Phase 3.

ATTACHMENT C

Vallejo STP Swap and Relocation of Waterlines at Green Valley Road Summary

What are STA’s Issues?: During the design of the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange Project, it was determined that both the City of Benicia and the City of Vallejo had existing waterlines (30” and 39” water mains respectively) that were in conflict with Project improvements, a portion of which would need to be relocated. The cost associated with the City of Vallejo water line relocation is $1,556,793. STA completed a funding agreement with Benicia for their waterline relocation.

What did the original funding agreement say?: If the utility owner’s interest in the property falls within another jurisdiction’s ROW, the law presumes that the utility owner does not have prior/superior rights and therefore, the owner is required to pay the cost of the utility relocations.

What is Vallejo’s Response?: Vallejo has argued that the City of Fairfield owns a Public Service Easement (PSE) in one of the locations in dispute (orange area attached map) and that Vallejo has a superior right since Fairfield could have apportioned the easement to Vallejo to allow the installation of its 39” waterline. However, a review of the public records indicates that neither Benicia nor Vallejo have any record of a grant of an easement or encroachment permit from Fairfield to establish their superior right. Because Vallejo’s 39” waterline was installed prior to the Project, Vallejo has argued that it has superior rights and should not be liable for the costs of relocation. Additionally for the portion of the utility in green, Vallejo argues that the since its 39” waterline was installed adjacent to a City of Fairfield street, it holds an implied secondary easement which is superior in right to the Project.

STA’s Legal Counsel’s Opinion?: While the City of Fairfield had the authority to apportion a portion of the PSE to Vallejo, there is nothing in the public record to indicate that it in fact did apportion it, thereby disproving Vallejo’s argument. STA also disagrees with Vallejo’s argument that it has an implied secondary easement in the designated orange area for the sole reason that per Caltrans Right-of-Way Manual section 13.04.04.03, implied secondary easements only apply to the city-owned facilities that lie within that city’s own streets. In other words, the argument would only apply to Fairfield utilities, since this is a Fairfield right-of-way. In summary, since there is no record of the City of Fairfield apportioning any of the PSE rights to the City of Vallejo, then Vallejo has no superiority on ownership.

What is the product going forward?: It is the goal of STA to recover the costs associated with the relocation of the waterline owned by the City of Vallejo. STA is seeking to reprogram $1,556,793 from Vallejo’s STP shares to the I-80/I-680/SR12 Interchange Project.

DATE: June 30, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Daryl Halls, Executive Director Susan Furtado, Accounting & Administrative Services Manager RE: STA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 Proposed Budget Revision and FY 2018-19 Proposed Budget Background: The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) has an adopted budget policy requiring a two-year annual fiscal year budget plan for its proposed expenditures and the proposed means of financing them. The budget is usually revised mid-year and finalized at the end of the fiscal year. When necessary, these budgets are revised to provide STA the basis for appropriate budgetary control of its financial operations for the fiscal year. In July 2016, the STA Board adopted the FY 2017-18 Budget as part of the two-year annual fiscal year budget plan. Subsequently, in January 2017, the STA Board adopted the modification to the FY 2017-18 Budget due to projected carryover funds for the continuation of projects and programs initiated in FY 2016-17. Discussion: Attachment A is the Proposed Budget Revision for FY 2017-18 and Attachment C is the FY 2018-19 Proposed Budget. The FY 2017-18 Budget Revision is balanced, with the proposed changes to the approved budget modified from $15.05 million to $17.29 million, an increase of $2.24 million. These changes are primarily due to the carryover funds for the continuation of projects, and new projects and programs: the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program and Capital Projects, the Transit Coordination/Implementation for the Rio Vista Transit (Delta Breeze), the State Route (SR) 37 Improvement Project, the Local Project Delivery for the SR 12/Church Road Project, the Jepson Parkway Project, the I-80/I-680/.SR 12 Interchange Project, and three new projects - SolanoExpress Bus Stops, the Fairgrounds Transit Facility Study, and the Phase B Design for the Parking Structure in Vallejo.

Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for STA Staff: The STA Board has an established policy for calculating cost of living adjustments for STA staff using the average of the Consumer Price Index (CPI): United States cities, Western Urban areas, and the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose urban area. Using the STA’s COLA policy cost calculations, the average annual change in CPI for 2016 for the three areas is 2.7 %. The proposed FY 2017-18 Budget Revision includes a cost of living adjustment of 2.7 %. The total fiscal impact for the FY 2017-18 COLA effective July 1, 2017 is $52,830.

Reserve Funds: The STA’s Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) was established in 1999 (Attachment E). In 2007, the CRF was targeted to cover project cost for the six (6) months limited Administration and Operation budget plan. This limited cost would cover STA’s core operating cost, such as the office lease, accounting services, audit, legal cost, general liability insurance, and limited staffing. In FY 2016-17, the STA’s CRF has an amount of $1.11 million. In FY 2017-18, contribution towards the CRF is continued for the amount of $50,000 to continue to maintain STA’s adequate financial level necessary to provide for contingencies for STA’s core functions in case of unforeseen operating needs.

DATE: June 29, 2017 TO: SolanoExpress Intercity Transit Consortium FROM: Brandon Thomson, Transit Mobility Coordinator Jim McElroy, Project Manager RE: SolanoExpress Operations Implementation Plan Background/Discussion: The STA Board, staff, and two intercity transit operators (Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST) and Solano County Transit (SolTrans) is engaged in a process to revamp the SolanoExpress system. The last system review was completed in 2004. The I-80/I-680/I-780/SR 12 Transit Corridor Study, which is the basis of the proposed changes, was completed in December 2014. That Study made findings about the current system that included:

1. Built upon expedience and opportunity. 2. Not clear or easy to understand 3. There are areas of duplication 4. Except for the Route 80, the service does not meet key performance standards 5. Connections between Solano cities are slow and infrequent

The December 2014 study analyzed the existing service and selected a preferred alternative. Since that time the following key activities have been completed:

1. Refined the preferred alternative 2. Implementation planning 3. Developed schedules and operating framework 4. Identified key capital projects 5. Initiated funding and implementation plans for capital projects

This agenda item is to act on implementing the service changes. Following is an overview of key project components.

Consolidated Routing The routes network is consolidated from the existing seven disparate routes into three routes plus a temporary transition commute route. Route consolidation is the most significant outcome of the implementation since it makes for easier travel between destinations within and outside of Solano County. Further, the consolidation builds a framework upon which more frequency and extended hours can be added as new funding and demand are generated. Attachment A is an overview of the consolidation. Change from Route Numbers to Colors Originally, STA had recommended modifying the seven route numbers (20, 30, 40, 78, 80, 85, and 90) to route colors to coincide with connecting BART transfers (red and yellow). Subsequently, both FAST and SolTrans staff requested shifting the three colors to coincide to current colors of the SolanoExpress buses. Blue and Green for FAST and Green and Yellow for SolTrans.

115

New Schedules New draft schedules have been created based on current congestion issues and potential for attracting and retaining riders. Here are some examples:

Access to Solano Community College – VacaValley and Suisun Valley is added with direct service to Dixon and Fairfield.

Faster access to and from Vallejo and Fairfield is added. More frequent and improved on-time performance is added to and from Sacramento. Direct service to the Amtrak Station in Suisun is added from Vallejo and Fairfield. Dixon and Vacaville will have direct service to BART.

Attachment B is the current iteration of schedules for weekdays. Weekend schedules are in final development. Implementation Components Implementation of the Green Line requires a new bus stop on Highway 37 at Fairgrounds Drive to gain time savings needed for on-time performance and to extend service to the Amtrak station in Suisun. The Green Line consolidation cannot occur until the stop is implemented which is scheduled to by Spring of 2019. Implementation of the new Blue Line only needs implementation of new bus stops near the Solano Community College campuses in Suisun Valley and VacaValley. These are expected to be completed by Spring of 2018. There are other issues that need to be resolved, but these capital projects are the “critical path” tasks. Based on the capital project timing, staff is proposing a two-step implementation

A. Phase 1: On July 1, 2018: Phase 1, Blue, Green Express and Yellow Lines


iii. Route 78 merged into Yellow Line B. Phase 2:

On July 1, 2019: Phase 2, Green Line i. Routes 80 and 85 merged into Green Line

Marketing and Outreach Staff is proposing a three-element approach to marketing and outreach:

1. Outreach to broader Solano County population who may or may not be current riders: The goal is a deep penetration generating broad public awareness and understanding of the new service.

2. Information to share with boards, institutions, and news providers: This is a broader perspective of the service such as an overview of how system works, who owns and operates the systems, how decisions get made, and funding.

3. Materials for riding the bus to users and those interested in using the service: Schedule or set of schedules, with maps, and a system map that shows how routes interact. How to use the bus, fares, and how to pay fare. Unified material will apply across both operators so the public will see a single network.

Fare Structure Staff recommends that the Board adopt a target fare structure as shown below and more thoroughly in Attachment C. The proposed fare structure is not intended to be a fare increase, but is designed to make fares consistent across the entire SolanoExpress network. Under the proposal, there would be four basic fares:

116

Capital Plans There are three capital projects key to implementing the entire network:

1. New Bus Stop at near Solano Community College – Suisun Valley: Estimated completion is by April 2018 – Essential to Blue Line and Green Line

2. New Bus Stop at Solano Community College – VacaValley: Estimated completion is by January 2018 – Essential to Blue Line

3. New Bus Stop on Highway 37 at Fairgrounds Drive: Estimated completion January 2019 Essential to Green Line

STA has budgeted for the marketing and promotion of this service and this will be covered in more detail at the October meeting of the STA Board. The time line for the Highway 37 at Fairgrounds Drive bus stop determines the implementation date for the Green Line. Therefore, staff recommends a two-phases implementation that defers the consolidations of the Route 80 and Route 85 into the Green Line until July 2019 or when the new stop at Highway 37 and Fairgrounds is completed. Other Key Tasks Public Hearings and Outreach required by funding agencies and local plans: Each of the two operators, FAST and SolTrans, has frameworks for hearings for outreach and hearing related to service, schedule, and fare changes. Staff expects to work with the operators to identify and complete their requirements. STA does plan to hold a public hearing at a future STA Board meeting targeted for October 2017. Operations issues: Schedules will be refined as we move closer to implementation dates. Schedules will be incorporated into the operators’ systems for allocating buses and drivers to the service.

This item was reviewed by the Consortium Committee on June 27, 2017 and SolTrans made a motion to change the implementation date of the Yellow and Blue Express Line from January 1, 2018 to July 1, 2018. Additionally, SolTrans motioned to change the implementation date of the Green Line from July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2019. This motion was seconded by FAST and supported unanimously by the Consortium.

DATE: July 3, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Senior Project Manager RE: Approval of SolanoExpress Bus Stop Locations as Part of SolanoExpress Operations Implementation Plan Background: STA staff has met with the cities of Fairfield, Vacaville and Vallejo, as well as the County of Solano and Caltrans to discuss the construction of SolanoExpress bus stops at three locations:

1. Fairfield Solano Community College Main Campus 2. Vacaville Solano Community College Satellite Campus 3. Fairgrounds Drive/State Route 37 SolanoExpress Bus Stop

These three locations are being planned in conjunction with the new SolanoExpress Bus Service Plan with frequent service to local and regional transit such as Bay Area Regional Transit (BART), Capitol Corridor Train Service and Vallejo Ferry Terminal. In April, STA staff presented a draft financial plan for funding each station which included a combination of State Transit Assistance Funds (STAF), Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) Clean Air Funds and Solano County Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF). Another critical SolanoExpress Bus stop is the Suisun City Capitol Corridor Train Depot. Suisun City staff renovated the station with modernized features and passenger amenities such as free wifi, work stations, cross walk improvements, signs and furniture. In addition, STA has provided direct customer service as part of the Solano Mobility Call Center at the Train Depot since 2014. Discussion: The STA Board authorized Funding Agreements with the cities of Fairfield and Vacaville to construct the stops at the Solano Community College sites; however, the formal action to approve the stop locations is now being recommended to the STA Board. The Fairfield Solano Community College SolanoExpress Bus Stop is proposed to be located along the Suisun Valley Parkway just southeast of the West America Drive intersection. This stop is within a half mile radius from the Solano Community College Campus, multi-family and single family homes and several employers. Attachment A provides a map of the proposed stop location and the employers located with a ½ mile radius. Attachment B provides a similar map illustrating the Vacaville Solano Community College SolanoExpress Bus Stop location. This stop also services the Solano Community College, multi-family and single family homes and several employers. Fairfield Public Works and Vacaville Public Works staff are the project leads for implementing these improvements as soon as the sites are formally approved. The SR 37/Fairgrounds Dr. site is proposed to be located on the westbound off and on ramps of SR 37 and Fairground Drive. This innovative stop will provide the most travel time savings for

129

the SolanoExpress Bus service by remaining on the highway and eliminating travel time on local streets. This stop is anticipated to service Six Flags’ Discovery Kingdom (City of Vallejo’s largest employer), Solano Fairgrounds and Vallejo’s Crest Residential Neighborhood. Attachment C illustrates the SR 37/Fairgrounds Dr. SolanoExpress Bus Stop location. These three Express Bus locations have been discussed throughout the development of the SolanoExpress Service Implementation Plan development. STA staff is seeking a formal approval of these locations by the STA Board to begin developing the project with the goal to have the two college sites constructed by Spring of 2018 and the Fairgrounds site completed by Spring of 2019. All three stops are integral to streamlining the SolanoExpress Bus Service by reducing service times with focused stop locations serving Solano County residents and employers. Lastly, STA staff is recommending that the new Green Line Service, be extended to service the Suisun City Capitol Corridor Train Depot. The proposed new Green Line Service, as described in a separate staff report “SolanoExpress Bus Service Implementation”, will be implemented in 2 phases and will consolidate Routes 85 and 80. This will allow for a more stream lined connection to the Train Depot from the El Cerrito BART station, Vallejo Ferry Terminal and Solano Fairgrounds. The existing service requires at least one transfer connection to access all four regional stops. The SolanoExpress Transit Consortium and STA Technical Advisory Committee reviewed and approved STA staff’s recommendation at their June 27th and June 28th meetings respectively. Fiscal Impact: None to the STA General Fund. The estimated cost to construct the Solano Express Bus Stops at the Fairfield and Vacaville Solano Community College locations is $400k. STA Board has approved $325k in State Transit Assistance Fund (STAF) (this STAF is from the Transit Performance Initiative (TPI) swap of the SolanoExpress Bus Replacement) and $75k from Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) for a total of $400k to fund the bus stop construction at these locations. The SR 37/Fairgrounds Dr. Solano Express Bus Stop cost estimate for completion is $1.825 million with $1 million identified through Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) funds provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) funding. A separate staff report will be prepared following the recommendation by RTIF Working Groups 3 and 6 to apply their revenue towards this project. As noted in the separate SolanoExpress Service Operations Implementation Plan staff report, the Green Line SolanoExpress Bus Service extension is intended to be implemented within existing resources and performance targets, as adopted by the Board for the SolanoExpress service.

DATE: June 30, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Anthony Adams, Project Manager RE: Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant Update Background: The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) is a state agency whose goal is to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries. It seeks to accomplish this goal by making available grants to local and state public agencies for programs that help them enforce traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, and provide varied and effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries and economic losses from collisions. OTS draws from several federal government funding sources for its grants. OTS also mounts public awareness campaigns and acts as a primary traffic safety resource in order to enlist the help of the general public and the media encouraging traffic safety.

OTS has numerous “areas of concentration” for grant applications. All of these areas of concentration have no local match requirement, no minimum or maximum grant amount, and funds must be expended within one fiscal year. The call for projects was on December 5, 2016. This year, STA applied, on a countywide basis, for two separate OTS areas of concentration for grant funding: Traffic Records: The program goal is to establish/improve record systems that aid in identifying existing and emerging traffic safety problems and aid in evaluating program performance. Accurate and current records are needed to support problem identification and to evaluate countermeasure effectiveness. Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety: The program goal is to increase safety awareness among pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists through various approaches including education, enforcement and engineering. Discussion: On June 6th, OTS contacted STA to inform us that STA have been preliminarily awarded $171,000 for each application. OTS informed STA that the next steps will be to finalize a budget, timeline, and sign a contract. Work can begin on the proposed projects by October 1st, 2018. Below is a brief explanation of both of the OTS grants. The Traffic Records Grant will be focused on procurement of collision data software and standardization of data reporting techniques. This data will help to identify the types and locations of collisions, and will have this data available and analyzed automatically. In consultation with the commanders of each police department within Solano County, all data will be collected and made available through an online portal.

137

The Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Grant will be focused on promoting safety and reducing injuries of elementary, middle and high school children in Solano County. The Solano Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program will develop an in-depth and comprehensive evaluation strategy addressing safety and efficacy of the program working with up to 5 schools within the county (primarily those nearest identified high collision areas). Through the OTS grant, SR2S staff will evaluate schools within these high-collision areas performing bicycle and pedestrian safety audits and strategize and implement community-driven solutions in order to decrease the amount of pedestrian/bike fatalities and injuries surrounding the schools. Fiscal Impact: No matching funds are required for this OTS grant. Recommendation: Informational.

DATE: June 29, 2017 TO: STA Board FROM: Jayne Bauer, Marketing and Legislative Program Manager RE: Legislative Update

Background: Each year, STA staff monitors state and federal legislation that pertains to transportation and related issues. On February 8, 2017, the STA Board approved its 2017 Legislative Platform to provide policy guidance on transportation legislation and the STA’s legislative activities during 2017. Monthly legislative updates are provided by STA’s State and Federal lobbyists and are attached for your information (Attachments A and B). An updated Legislative Bill Matrix listing state bills of interest is available at http://tiny.cc/staleg. Discussion: State Transportation Funding Information on the 2017-18 State Budget Bill, workshops for the “Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017” state transportation funding package (SB 1), Cap and Trade Ruling, update on RM3 legislation (SB 595) and more, are outlined in Attachment A, State Legislative Update from Shaw/Yoder/Antwih (STA’s state lobbyist). The following lists STA-supported bill status to date: AB 28 (Frazier) - Department of Transportation: environmental review process: federal pilot program. This bill would re-enact, until January 1, 2020, the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans') authority to waive its 11th Amendment right to sovereign immunity from lawsuits brought in federal court thereby allowing Caltrans to continue assuming the role of the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) decision making. STA Position: Support. Chaptered on March 29th. AB 1113 (Bloom) – State Transit Assistance Program Formula Clarification This bill amends the statutes governing the State Transit Assistance (STA) program to clarify several ambiguities in law that led to administrative changes made in 2016 by the State Controller’s Office. STA Position: Support. On Senate Consent Calendar 2nd day June 29th. AB 1324 (Gloria) – Local Sales Taxes for Transportation This bill would authorize a Metropolitan Planning Organization or Regional Transportation Planning Agency authorized to levy a sales tax to levy that tax in only a portion of the jurisdiction, as an alternative to the entire jur4isdiction, in which the organization or agency has authority if approved by the required percentage of the voters in that portion of the jurisdiction. The bill would require the revenues derived from the sales tax to be used only within the area for which the tax was approved by the voters. AB 1324 would benefit counties that have transportation needs that differ between rural and suburban areas, and that have difficulty obtaining the required 2/3

139

voter support countywide for local transportation sales tax measures. STA Position: Support. Failed deadline, may be acted upon in January 2018. ACA 4 (Aguiar-Curry) - Local government financing: affordable housing and public infrastructure: voter approval. This measure would lower the voter threshold to 55 percent for special taxes for purposes of funding the construction, rehabilitation or replacement of public infrastructure or affordable housing, which specifically includes improvements to transit and streets & highways, as well as protection from impacts of sea-level rise. This measure would also reduce the threshold to 55 percent for local governments to increase property taxes to cover bonded indebtedness to fund similar project-types. STA Position: Support. Referred to Committees on Local Government & Appropriations April 24th. ACA 5 (Frazier and Newman) – Protection of Transportation Revenues Assembly Member Jim Frazier introduced Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 5 to dedicate for transportation purposes all vehicle fee and gasoline or diesel tax revenues raised by SB 1. STA Position: Support. ACA 5 has already been chaptered and will be on the June 2018 statewide ballot. SB 1 (Beall) - Transportation funding. Comprehensive $52.4 billion transportation funding bill. STA Position: Support. Chaptered. SB 595 (Beall) – Regional Measure 3 This bill is the Senate placeholder for Regional Measure 3 and would authorize the nine counties in the Bay Area to vote on an unspecified increase in tolls on the Bay Area’s bridges to be used for transportation projects throughout the region. Bay Area leaders in both houses are working on the legislation, which could take shape in the coming weeks. STA Position: Support. Schedule for hearing in Assembly Transportation Committee July 10th. SCA 6 (Wiener) – Lower Vote Threshold for Local Transportation Taxes The California Constitution subjects the imposition of a special tax by a city, county, or special district upon the approval of two-thirds of the voters. This measure would lower that threshold to 55 percent of voters for taxes for transportation purposes. STA Position: Support. Held in Appropriations Committee and under submission May 25th. Federal Legislative Update (Akin Gump): STA’s federal legislative advocate (Susan Lent of Akin Gump) continues to work with STA staff to refine the STA’s strategic objectives to align with those of the new administration. Topics covered in the federal legislative update include: the House and Senate Appropriations Committees work on the 2018 appropriations bill, President Trump’s infrastructure proposal, freight legislation and the third round of the FASTLANE grant program (which has been rebranded as INFRA – Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects). Fiscal Impact: None. Recommendation: Informational. Attachments:

June 29, 2017 TO: Board of Directors, Solano Transportation Authority FM: Joshua W. Shaw, Partner

Matt Robinson, Legislative Advocate RE: STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE – July 2017

Legislative Update The Legislature passed the 2017-18 Budget Bill on June 15 and it now awaits Governor Brown’s signature. As of this writing, some budget trailer bills related to the implementation of SB 1 (trade corridors and advanced mitigation) remain in the Legislature. We anticipate these bills will be sent to the Governor shortly. The Legislature will break for Summer Recess on July 21 and reconvene on August 21. We highlight bills of note affecting STA under Bills of Interest, below. SB 1 Workshops Underway On June 8 and 9, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) kicked off a series of workshops on the implementation of SB 1 (Beall and Frazier), highlighting the timeframe for a number of programs the CTC oversees, including the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program. The CTC will be hosting several additional workshops for each specific program, with the hope of adopting guidelines in late-2017/early-2018. Additionally, the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) will begin to host workshops on the transit and rail programs in late June. STA staff has been and will continue to participate in the SB 1 workshops. Transportation Funding Repeal As we reported last month, on May 5, Assembly Member Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach) filed an initiative to repeal SB 1. Before the initiative, entitled “Repeal the Gas Tax,” can be circulated for signature it must first be given a Title and Summary by the Attorney General. Once it has been issued a Title and Summary the initiative must receive approximately 360,000 valid signatures to qualify for the next General Election ballot, slated for November, 2018. We will update the Board as this initiative progresses. RM3 Update For the last several months, members of the Bay Area Caucus have been meeting to discuss the potential for legislation authorizing a toll increase on the Bay Area’s bridges. Commonly referred to as Regional Measure 3, the increased toll(s) could fund a number of Bay Area transportation improvements across all nine counties. Senator Beall has legislation moving through the process, but it lacks details. Currently, SB 595 does not specify the amount of the toll increase, nor does it speak to the distribution of funds. The members of the Bay Area Caucus continue to meet regularly to hone in on a path forward for RM3 and have held several briefings with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, local agencies, and other stakeholder groups. We have been involved in the effort to craft an RM3 path

forward. STA Board members and staff have been working with the legislative delegation to ensure Solano County’s priorities are included. We will continue to engage as the RM3 legislation takes shape. The bill may be heard in the Assembly Transportation Committee on July 10. Cap and Trade Ruling On April 6, the Third District Court of Appeal ruled 2-1 to uphold the State of California’s – specifically, the California Air Resources Board’s – authority to operate the Cap and Trade program. On June 28, after months of review, the California Supreme Court upheld that ruling by declining to consider an appeal of that ruling, thus putting to rest the current legal challenge to the Cap and Trade program. As you may recall, the Cap and Trade program was under attack by the California Chamber of Commerce and Morning Star Packing Company (a regulated food processor in the cap and trade program), asserting the following: 1) that ARB’s distribution system for allowances, which includes some free distributions and some distributions via auction and reserve sales, is not authorized because AB 32 does not explicitly call for the sale of emission allowances as a means of operating a carbon control program; and, 2) that the auction and price containment reserve sales constitute “taxes” for purposes of Proposition 13 (Article XIIIA of the California Constitution), and thus are unlawful because the Legislature did not approve AB 32 by a two-thirds majority. On the first matter, the Court of Appeal agreed with the trial court, arguing that “the Legislature gave broad discretion to the [California Air Resources] Board to design a distribution system, and a system including the auction of some allowances did not exceed the scope of legislative delegation. Further, the Legislature ratified the auction system by specifying how to use the proceeds directed therefrom.” On the second matter, the Court of Appeal again agreed with the trial court that the auction sales do not equate to a tax. More specifically, the Court of Appeal found that “…because the [California Air Resources] Board’s cap-and-trade regulations do not compel anybody to buy emissions allowances, and confer on voluntary buyers a valuable commodity, they do not create a “tax” as that term is generally understood. The auction sales program does not violate Proposition 13.” The Court of Appeal’s April ruling, and the California Supreme Court’s decision not to consider the appeal from business groups shore up the Cap and Trade program, and may help stabilize the quarterly auctions of cap and trade allowances, which generate the auction proceeds that support the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program, the Low-Carbon Transit Operations Program, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, and other Low Carbon Transportation programs. Bills of Interest

SB 1 (Beall) – Transportation Funding Package (Signed by Governor on April 28) This bill would increase several taxes and fees to address issues of deferred maintenance on state highways and local streets and roads, as well as provide new funding for public transit. Specifically, this bill would increase both the gasoline (over three years) and diesel excise taxes by 12 and 20 cents, respectively; increase the vehicle registration fee by $38; create a new $100 vehicle registration fee applicable to zero-emission motor vehicles; increase Cap and Trade funding for transit; increase the rate of sales tax on diesel by another 4% for the State Transit Assistance Program and intercity rail, limit the borrowing of weight-fee revenues, and repay outstanding transportation loans. As a result, transportation funding would increase by approximately $6 billion per year. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 12/14/16).

142

SB 4 (Mendoza) – Goods Movement (This bill was amended to address an unrelated issue) This bill would do two things:

Places on the June 5, 2018, statewide primary election ballot the Goods Movement and Clean Trucks Bond Act to authorize $600 million in general obligation bonds, as follows –

o $200 million to the California Transportation Commission for projects and programs eligible for funding from the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF);

o $200 million to the State Air Resources Board for projects and programs consistent with the Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program; and,

o $200 million to the State Air Resources Board for projects and programs to expand the use of zero- and near-zero emission trucks.

Directs an estimated $580 million in FAST Act formula funding for goods movement to the TCIF, and divides the revenue as follows:

o $150 million to improvements to California’s existing or planned land ports of entry on the border with Mexico;

o $70 million for projects for the elimination, alteration, or improvement of hazardous railroad-highway grade crossings; and,

o $360 million for projects nominated by regional transportation agencies and other public agencies, including counties, cities, and port authorities.

SB 595 (Beall) – Regional Measure 3 This bill is the Senate placeholder for Regional Measure 3 and would authorize the nine counties in the Bay Area to vote on an unspecified increase in tolls on the Bay Area’s bridges to be used for transportation projects throughout the region. Bay Area leaders in both houses are working on the legislation, which could take shape in the coming weeks. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action 6/14/17). SCA 6 (Wiener) – Lower Vote Threshold for Local Transportation Taxes (2-Year Bill) The California Constitution subjects the imposition of a special tax by a city, county, or special district upon the approval of two-thirds of the voters. This measure would lower that threshold to 55 percent of voters for taxes for transportation purposes. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 4/12/17). AB 28 (Frazier) – Caltrans NEPA Delegation (Signed by the Governor on March 29) This bill would grant Caltrans the authority to continue performing federal environmental responsibilities for highway projects under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other federal laws until January 1, 2020. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 2/8/17). AB 1113 (Bloom) – State Transit Assistance Program Formula Clarification This bill amends the statutes governing the State Transit Assistance (STA) program to clarify several ambiguities in law that led to administrative changes made in 2016 by the State Controller’s Office; these changes implemented new calculation and allocation methodologies for the STA program, suddenly changing the way these funds are distributed to transit agencies. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 5/10/17). AB 1121 (Chiu) – WETA Board Existing law establishes the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority, composed of 3 members appointed by the Governor, one member appointed by the Senate Committee

143

on Rules, and one member appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly. This bill would increase the membership of the authority to 9 members, with 5 members to be appointed by the Governor, 2 members appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules, and 2 members appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly. AB 1324 (Gloria) – Local Sales Taxes for Transportation (2-Year Bill) This bill would authorize a metropolitan planning organization or regional transportation planning agency authorized to levy a sales tax to levy that tax in only a portion of the jurisdiction, as an alternative to the entire jurisdiction, in which the organization or agency has authority if approved by the required percentage of the voters in that portion of the jurisdiction. The bill would require the revenues derived from the sales tax to be used only within the area for which the tax was approved by the voters. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 5/10/17). ACA 4 (Aguiar-Curry) – Lower Vote Threshold for Local Infrastructure Taxes The California Constitution subjects the imposition of a special tax by a city, county, or special district upon the approval of two-thirds of the voters. This measure would lower that threshold to 55 percent of voters for taxes for purposes of funding the construction, rehabilitation or replacement of public infrastructure or affordable housing, which specifically includes improvements to transit and streets & highways, as well as protection from impacts of sea-level rise. This measure would also reduce the threshold to 55 percent for local governments to increase property taxes to cover bonded indebtedness to fund similar project-types. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 4/12/17). ACA 5 (Frazier and Newman) – Protection of Transportation Revenues This measure would prohibit the state from borrowing revenues from fees and taxes imposed on vehicles or their use, and from using those revenues other than as specifically permitted by Article XIX. This measure would prohibit vehicle revenues and fuel tax revenues from being pledged or used for the payment of principal and interest on general obligation bonds issued by the state, except for vehicle weight fee revenues used to pay bond approved prior to January 1, 2017. The STA Board SUPPORTS this bill (Board Action: 5/10/17).

From: Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP

Re: June Report

During the month of June we monitored developments regarding transportation policies and funding.

Fiscal Year 2018 Budget and Appropriations

The House and Senate Appropriations Committees have begun the process of developing and marking up the fiscal year 2018 appropriations bills despite the fact that neither chamber has adopted a fiscal year 2018 budget. The House Appropriations Committee has allocated funding among the 12 appropriations committees using a top line number of $511 billion for non-defense programs, which is a $7 billion cut from fiscal year 2017. The Committee has released six bills so far and will complete subcommittee mark-ups of four bills (Agriculture, Defense, Energy & Water, Commerce-Justice-Science) and full committee mark-ups of two bills (Legislative Branch and Military Construction) before the July 4 recess. The Transportation-Housing and Urban Development (THUD) bill likely will come up in July.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has told the Senate Appropriations Committee to temporarily rely on fiscal year 2017 spending limits for the fiscal year 2018 bills. He stated that the levels may be adjusted once a bipartisan spending agreement has been reached.

Democratic Leadership sent a letter to Leader McConnell and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran (R-MS) on June 26 urging them to reach an agreement on fiscal year 2018 spending that would replace sequestration and maintain parity between non-defense and defense spending. The letter noted the importance of investing in infrastructure, including roads, bridges, transit and railroad systems, ports, airports and waterways.

The Senate Appropriations Committee has held a series of hearings on fiscal year 2018 spending, but has not advanced any bills from Subcommittee. If the House and Senate fail to reach an agreement regarding appropriations by September 30, Congress is likely to adopt a continuing resolution to extend federal spending at the current level through the first few months of fiscal year 2018.

Trump’s Infrastructure Proposal

President Trump and Administration officials promoted his plan to invest $1 trillion in US infrastructure over 10 years during the week of June 5. Trump attended a number of events and

145

jmasiclat

Typewritten Text

ATTACHMENT B

Solano Transportation Authority June 28, 2017 Page 2 forums in Ohio and in Washington DC to meet with stakeholders and describe some of the features of his plan. The White House also published an infographic to explain how the $200 billion in federal spending would be utilized, announcing that $100 billon would be used to prioritize local needs, $25 billion would be spent on rural infrastructure, and $15 billion on transformative projects.

The Administration has emphasized the need to streamline the permitting process to reduce project costs and risk. Trump announced a new White House council that will establish an online “dashboard” to track major projects through the federal permitting process, similar to a management tool established under the Obama Administration. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has said that the Administration is considering enforcing a page limit on environmental reviews of infrastructure projects in an attempt to "cut red tape and reduce time delays and cost burdens.”

The Trump Administration has said it will develop a more detailed infrastructure proposal, but it may not do so until the fall. Secretary Chao has said it is unlikely that the plan will be advanced as part of the Administration’s tax plan. During her June 15 testimony before the House Appropriations THUD Subcommittee, she said that there are over a dozen revenue proposals under discussion and that nothing – including a possible increase in the gas tax – is off the table.

The Transportation Department opened a 45-day comment period on June 9, requesting that stakeholders identify statutes, rules, regulations, and interpretations in policy statements or guidance “that unjustifiably delay or prevent completion of surface, maritime, and aviation transportation infrastructure projects.” The notice requested that commentators focus on requirements that either lack a statutory mandate or could be accomplished through reasonable alternatives, and legislative remedies if non-statutory changes are insufficient to address a specific obstacle to transportation infrastructure projects. The request was made as part of the Administration’s effort to reduce regulations and in response to Executive Orders 13771 and 13777, which directed agencies throughout the federal government to scrutinize regulatory burdens.

House Highway and Transit Subcommittee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) and 250 House Members sent a letter to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) requesting that a portion of the revenue from proposed tax reform be directed to establishing solvency for the Highway Trust Fund. In a press release that accompanied the letter, Chairman Graves suggested that a long-term fix for the HTF would be a better solution to the country’s long-term infrastructure problems than a one-time, trillion dollar investment.

146

Solano Transportation Authority June 28, 2017 Page 3 Freight Legislation

On June 22, Rep. Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) re-introduced The National Multimodal and Sustainable Freight Infrastructure Act (H.R. 3001) to create a Freight Transportation Infrastructure Trust Fund. The Trust Fund would be funded with revenues generated from a national 1% “waybill fee” on the transportation cost of goods. The tax would generate about $8 billion in annual revenue a portion of which would be distributed to states by formula and a portion of which would be used to make competitive grants to state and local governments. The bill was referred to the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, with subsequent referral to the Ways & Means Committees. It has 11 cosponsors, including 5 California members.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) is expected to reintroduce The Freight Infrastructure Reinvestment Act, which would also use the revenue generated from a 1 percent fee on cargo shipments. The program would to work in conjunction with, the FASTLANE grant program to provide competitive grants to states and designated entities for projects that would improve rail and roadway capacity and safety.

INFRA Grants

DOT is expected to issue a Notice of Funding Availability for its new “INFRA” grants tomorrow. They have renamed the FASTLANE grant program and changed its focus slightly. DOT has updated the evaluation criteria to evaluate projects to align them with national and regional economic vitality goals and to leverage more non-federal funding: projects that use innovative approaches to make each federal dollar go further and encourage more parties to put skin in the game through higher leverage, are willing implement innovative approaches to permitting and project delivery, and project sponsors willing to measure their performance and hold themselves accountable.

It does this by reducing the cost of these vehicles for truck and bus fleets that purchase and operate the vehicles in the State of California. The HVIP voucher is intended to reduce about half the incremental costs of purchasing hybrid heavy-duty trucks and buses.

N/A Eligible Projects: Purchase of low-emission hybrid trucks and buses http://www.californiahvip.org/
