8 TO: Citizens Advisory Committee Staff Report Motion THROUGH: Rosa De León Park, Executive Director FROM: Elisabeth Hahn, Senior Planner Marcus Tucker, Associate Planner DATE: December 20, 2016 SUBJECT: Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 Projects for FYs 2019/20 and 2020/21 Recommendation By Motion: Recommend that the Policy Board adopt by Resolution the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 projects for FYs 2019/20 and 2020/21. Background The Active Transportation Program (ATP) was created through legislation in 2013 to encourage active modes of transportation through competitive grant opportunities. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) established the ATP with three levels of funding to distribute approximately $245 million that is being made available through the program in State funding. ATP legislation requires that all projects be selected through a competitive process. Consistent with these requirements, the ATP funds are distributed as follows: 40% to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in the urban areas with populations greater than 200, % to small urban and rural areas with populations of 200,000 or less. 50% to projects competitively awarded by the CTC on a statewide basis. This third cycle of ATP funding is to select projects for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 Fiscal Years. A total of $1.48 million in ATP funding is available for Fiscal Years 2019/20 and 2020/21 for the Stanislaus Region, with at least $370,000 benefiting disadvantaged communities. To be eligible for ATP funding, projects must fall into one or more of the following categories: Infrastructure projects (capital improvements), Improvement plans (community wide bicycle/pedestrian plans), Non-infrastructure projects (education and or enforcement campaigns) Infrastructure projects with non-infrastructure components.

9 Additionally, each application must demonstrate that at least 25% of the funding will benefit disadvantaged communities. Discussion The opportunity to apply for the current cycle of ATP funding was first made available during the statewide call for projects. During that call, ten applications were submitted to the CTC by local agencies within the Stanislaus Region. Among the ten applications, two received approval during the December 7-8, 2016 CTC meeting. The remaining eight applications, not selected by the CTC, were then evaluated by StanCOG as part of its regional call for projects. Successful applications during the statewide component included the City of Modesto for pedestrian and bicycle improvements along Paradise Road and the City of Ceres for a Citywide Active Transportation Plan. During StanCOG s regional call for projects, the eight applications were reviewed by an evaluation committee comprised of 1 representative from each of the following categories: Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee Member StanCOG Staff Representative Large Local Agency Representative Small/Medium Local Agency Representative Transit Operator StanCOG utilized the same scoring criteria as the California Transportation Commission (CTC) in their evaluation of applications during the state call for projects. The following project(s) for the regional component have been selected for Policy Board consideration: 1. StanCOG Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety Education Campaign (ATP Funding $372,000). 2. City of Turlock Safe Routes To School (SRTS) ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Pedestrian Improvements at various locations (ATP Funding $1,108,000).

14 TO: Citizens Advisory Committee Staff Report THROUGH: Rosa De León Park, Executive Director Discussion FROM: Elisabeth Hahn, Senior Planner Marcus Tucker, Associate Planner DATE: December 7, 2016 SUBJECT: Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015/16 Annual Listing of Federal Obligation Projects Background As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the Stanislaus Region, the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) develops an annual listing of all transportation projects that received federal funding during the previous Federal Fiscal Year (FFY). Publishing the FFY 2015/16 (October 1, 2015 September 30, 2016) Annual Listing of Federal Obligation fulfills transportation requirements by identifying all federal transportation investments in the Stanislaus Region. Federal obligation represents the federal government s commitment to pay or reimburse state and/or local agencies for the eligible costs of the federal share. Recognizing that only federal dollars are identified in this report, the amounts shown may not be equal to the total project cost, as local and state funds are not reported as part of this listing. In order to receive federal obligation, projects must be identified in the 2015 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The FTIP is the four-year regional programming document identifying all transportation projects scheduled to receive federal obligation. Discussion StanCOG s 2015/16 Annual Listing of Federal Obligation indicates that approximately $35.7 million in federal funds were obligated for transportation improvement projects in the Stanislaus Region. Of the $35.7 million in federal obligations, approximately $4.2 million were roadway projects, $1.1 million were bicycle and pedestrian improvements, $19.5 million were transit related projects, $8.7 million were maintenance and operation projects and $2.3 million were bridge related projects.

17 Purpose of the Report As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the Stanislaus Region, the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is required by federal regulations (23 US.C. 134 (j)(7)(b)) to develop an annual listing of federally funded projects during Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015/16 (October 1, 2015 September 30, 2016). Specifically, states and MPOs must produce: An annual listing of projects, including investments in pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities, for which Federal funds have been obligated in the preceding year shall be published or otherwise made available by the cooperative effort of the State, transit operator, and metropolitan planning organization for public review. The listing shall be consistent with the categories identified in the TIP (23 U.S.C. 134 (j)(7)(b)). Federal obligation represents the federal government s commitment to pay or reimburse state and/or local agencies for the eligible costs of the federal share. Recognizing that only federal dollars (not including state or local funds) are identified in this report, the amounts shown may not be equal to the total project cost. This report is designed to address these federal requirements by listing federal funded transportation projects in the Stanislaus County region that were obligated in Fiscal Year 2015/16. Obligation of federal funds indicates a project received a commitment from the Federal government to reimburse lead agencies for the federal costs of the project for the particular phase of the project that is ready to move forward. Obligations do not necessarily represent the total cost of the project, nor does it indicate an expenditure of dollars. It also does not signify a project initiation or completion in that year. About the Stanislaus Council of Governments StanCOG is the Stanislaus Region's Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Regional Transportation Planning Authority (RTPA). Its membership is comprised of the Cities of Ceres, Hughson, Modesto, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Turlock, Waterford and the County of Stanislaus. The agency is governed by a 16-member policy board consisting of representatives from each of StanCOG s ten Member Agencies and an ex-officio Caltrans delegate. StanCOG is responsible for the coordination and allocation of federal and state funds to transportation and transit projects throughout the Stanislaus Region. StanCOG is designed to be the central link between local governments within Stanislaus County. StanCOG serves to facilitate intergovernmental communication to gain a comprehensive understanding of local needs and priority transportation projects. From this collaborative effort, StanCOG coordinates transportation planning and funding resources to a variety of transportation projects that address regional and local transportation needs and objectives. StanCOG Annual Listing of Federal Obligation 1

18 The StanCOG Policy Board StanCOG is governed by a decision-making body called the Policy Board. It is comprised of sixteen elected officials from StanCOG member agencies, and a Caltrans ex-officio delegate.. This includes five representatives from the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, three representatives from the Modesto City Council, and one representative from each of the other eight City Councils in Stanislaus County. A California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) representative serves as an ex-officio member on the Policy Board. The Policy Board s purpose is to guide policy making decisions through a collaborative and cooperative process to include interests and resources from each local jurisdiction. The Board establishes the direction and immediate policies for transportation improvement projects proposed and planned. StanCOG also works with several advisory committees that assist the StanCOG Policy Board in developing and enacting policies. These committees have been developed to assist with the development and implementation of policies that StanCOG directly oversees. These Advisory Committees include: The Executive Committee which is comprised of five members of the Policy Board two members from the County Board of Supervisors, one member from the Modesto City Council and two other representatives from among the other cities. The Chair and Vice- Chair of the Policy Board serve as members of the Executive Committee as representatives from their respective agencies. The primary function of the Executive Committee is to recommend the annual budget. In addition, the Committee makes recommendations on special matters that are referred for review by the Policy Board, such as personnel issues. The Committee is also responsible for appointing members of the Standing and Ad Hoc Committees, where appropriate. The Management and Finance Committee (MFC) which is comprised of one City Management or Chief Executive Office staff member from each jurisdiction. This committee addresses each issue from a policy standpoint and makes recommendations directly to the Policy Board. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) which is comprised of up to 15 residents from Stanislaus County, which are appointed by the Policy Board. The CAC makes recommendations directly to the Policy Board. The intent of the CAC is to provide the Policy Board with input on transportation related issues from a body of residents. The Policy Board utilizes these advisory resources to formulate a comprehensive analysis to guide StanCOG's policy making decisions and work activities. Regional Transportation Plan As the agency responsible for coordinating transportation planning in nine cities, StanCOG s long range transportation plans for the region are articulated within a 25-year regional transportation plan. The current 2014 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy was developed with extensive public involvement and adopted by StanCOG s policy StanCOG Annual Listing of Federal Obligation 2

19 board in June This plan includes an assessment of overall growth and economic trends in the region, and provides a strategic direction for transportation capital investments. The RTP/SCS is updated every four years to reflect the latest state and federal transportation laws and policies. This plan presents a strategy to accommodate the significant expected growth in the region while promoting economic vitality, providing more housing and transportation choices, promoting healthy living, and improving communities through an efficient and well-maintained transportation network. In each four year update, StanCOG strives to ensure the efficient movement of people and goods, while selecting transportation projects that improve air quality throughout the region. The Stanislaus region relies on funding from federal, state, and other revenue sources to support these transportation improvement projects. Over the 25-year regional transportation plan, federal funds represent approximately 33% of all revenues. Only projects listed in the Regional Transportation Plan s financially constrained list are eligible to be placed in the Transportation Improvement Program for federal funding. Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) Required by law, the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) is a comprehensive list of transportation projects for which federal funds are anticipated or where other federal action such as a review for impacts on air quality is required. The FTIP represents StanCOG s investments and transportation priorities as it relates to highway, public transportation, freight, bicycle, pedestrian and other surface transportation improvement projects in the region. The majority of the projects in the FTIP are aimed at increasing the efficiency and safety of the transportation network in the region. StanCOG prepares and adopts the FTIP every two years. By law, all FTIPs must be in conformance with air quality requirements, cover at least a four year period, and contain a priority list of projects grouped by year. In addition, federal policy requires the FTIP be financially constrained by year, meaning, dollars programmed are not to exceed the available dollars estimated. StanCOG s 2015 FTIP was approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on December 15, This FTIP represents a consensus among local, state and regional officials as to what the region s transportation priorities are, and thereby establishes the bases for the eligibility for federal funding. In order for a project to receive federal obligation, the project must list its funding requirements in the FTIP. Public Participation The involvement of the public is critical to successful regional transportation planning and programming. When the public is engaged in the process, the feedback gathered helps assure projects address community needs. Likewise, the public gains a better understanding of the tradeoffs and constraints associated with transportation planning. StanCOG Annual Listing of Federal Obligation 3

20 StanCOG works extensively with the public to identify and provide solutions to the community s local and regional transportation priorities. Per federal law requirements, StanCOG provides the public with comprehensive information of their plans and an opportunity for the public to submit their comments. Public participation and comments on the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, Federal Transportation Improvement Program and other plans are essential ingredients that enhance StanCOG s ability to make informed planning decisions regarding the current and future transportation needs in the region.

30 TO: Citizens Advisory Committee Staff Report Discussion THROUGH: Rosa De León Park, Executive Director FROM: Elisabeth Hahn, Senior Planner Stephen Hanamaikai, Associate Planner DATE: December 20, 2016 SUBJECT: FFY Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5310 Call for Projects Background In accordance with the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG), in collaboration with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Rail and Mass Transportation, will administer Federal Fiscal Years FTA Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program (5310 Program). The intent of the 5310 Program is to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to accessing transportation services and expanding the availability of transportation options. The 5310 Program provides funding for capital and operating expenses for the following: - Public transportation projects planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable; - Public transportation projects that exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); - Public transportation projects that improve access to fixed-route service and decrease reliance on complementary paratransit service; and - Alternatives to public transportation projects that assist seniors and individuals with disabilities with transportation (e.g. accessible vehicles used for vanpool or ridesharing programs, mileage reimbursements for volunteer driver programs). Discussion For FFYs , the State of California will receive approximately $28 million in FTA 5310 apportionments for large urbanized areas and $20 million for small urban and rural areas. At least 55% of available funding must be allocated to Traditional 5310 Projects, which include vehicle and equipment purchases. The remaining 45% may be allocated to Expanded 5310 Projects, which include operating assistance and mobility management projects such as MOVE s

31 BRIDGES s and Travel Training programs. Projects are 100% federally funded upon FTA approval of Transportation Development credits (Toll Credits). For this funding cycle, all project phases, from initial application to project closeout, will be administered online through the Electronic Grants Management System (EGM). StanCOG, as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the Stanislaus region, will score applications using evaluation criteria established by FTA Circular C9070.1G and complete a prioritized list of proposed projects for the Stanisluas region. The selected projects will then be submitted to the State Review Committee, who will evaluate RTPA scores and compile a statewide-prioritized list of projects based on available funding. The California Transportation Commission will then hold a public hearing to review and adopt the final list of small urban and rural projects, after which Caltrans will submit the approved project list to the FTA. The 5310 Program timeline for the FFYs funding cycle will be as follows: January 9, 2017 January 9-13, 2017 March 1, 2017 Statewide call for projects FTA EGM training and application workshops *All applications must be entered into EGM by no later than 5 PM by each applicant on March 1, *StanCOG must certify to Caltrans that all projects are included in the Coordinated Plan, and as such, applicants are encouraged to coordinate with StanCOG during the month of February, ahead of the March 1, 2017 submittal date.
