14 8 Date: November 28, 2017 Current Meeting: December 13, 2017 Board Meeting: January 4, 2018 BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Director - Engr & Transp Program Dev., Carolyn M. Gonot I-280 Corridor Study Update FOR INFORMATION ONLY BACKGROUND: The I-280 corridor study s primary objective was to identify multi-modal improvement projects for Santa Clara County s next iteration of its long range transportation plan, Valley Transportation Plan (VTP). It is envisioned that the study also serves as the multi-modal study for identified projects to qualify for Senate Bill 1 transportation funding. The study area extends from the US 101/I-680/I-280 interchange in San Jose to the Santa Clara/San Mateo county line as shown on the attached map. Through a collaborative effort with local, state, and regional stakeholders, the study considered a multitude of factors in the evaluation of improvement projects. The factors were: improved mobility, promotion of multiple modes of transportation, transportation system benefits, cost, environmental and socio-economic effects, and community input. The corridor study cost of $750,000 was funded by the City of Cupertino from the Apple 2 campus voluntary contributions to transportation improvements ($500,000) and local VTA funds for the remaining balance. In their November 2014 meeting, the VTA Board of Directors approved receiving the grant funds from the City of Cupertino. The key milestones and schedule for the project were as follows: Project Initiation: January - March 2016 Community/Public Outreach: April - October 2016 Conceptual Alternatives Analysis: March April 2017 Final Corridor Study Report: April October 2017 VTA staff, along with a wide variety of stakeholders, vetted the study and completed the study within budget in October 2017.

15 8 DISCUSSION: The study evaluated various highway projects, multi-modal local street and interchange improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The evaluation of projects took into consideration both public and technical input to ultimately determine the projects which best improved mobility to reduce traffic congestion, promote mode shift, help drive economic growth, and enhance the quality of life for Santa Clara county residents. VTA engaged the public through a unique approach relying on crowdsourcing and obtained over 1000 suggestions on how the corridor could be improved. The crowdsourcing-based approach involved soliciting input from the public through the use of a specialized website. Based on the public and local agency transportation professionals inputs, the study sorted potential projects into tiers. Weighting factors varied depending on the type of facility. Highways, expressways and local roadway improvements were evaluated for mobility effects such as reducing congestion and reducing delays. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities were evaluated for enhanced accessibility, safety and security. The study recommended following strategies and improvements to improve the corridor: Develop projects that focus on improving corridor-wide mobility Extend high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to provide for more shared mobility benefits. Implement conversion of HOV lanes to express lanes (EL) to expand mobility options, for more reliable travel and a potential new funding source for transportation improvements. Study in detail improvements to downtown San Jose access between US 101 and SR 87. Prioritize funding for multi-modal improvements Continue to develop multi-modal interchange improvements at Wolfe Road and Winchester Boulevard. Study transit ramp access at Tantau Avenue. Implement HOV bypass lanes, including the implementation of transit signal priority at interchange traffic signals and ramp meters. Empower Innovation Develop a transportation technology strategic plan. Work with Caltrans to deploy smart solutions such as demand based pricing, bus on shoulders and active transportation management (ATM) strategies as demonstration projects. The study recommended a number of improvement projects: seven mainline HOV/EL, twentyfour interchange, eighteen local street, and seventeen ATM/intelligent transportation system (ITS). The study met its objective of supporting the next iteration of VTA s VTP to address existing multi-modal needs as well as future needs of the corridor and Santa Clara County. Page 2 of 3

59 10 Date: December 7, 2017 Current Meeting: December 13, 2017 Board Meeting: N/A BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Board Secretary, Elaine Baltao Election Process for 2018 Technical Advisory Committee Leadership: Conduct Elections Policy-Related Action: No Government Code Section Applies: No ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION: Conduct voting to determine the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) chairperson and vice chairperson for BACKGROUND: The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) bylaws require that the committee elect from its membership a chairperson and a vice chairperson annually to serve as the committee leadership for the upcoming year. The bylaws also provide that the chairperson and vice chairperson positions serve one-year terms coinciding with the calendar year and are eligible for election to multiple terms. Only members, not alternates or ex-officio members, are eligible to serve in these positions. The elections for the TAC leadership positions are conducted during the committee s last meeting of the calendar year (usually December), if practical. The duties of the chairperson are to preside at all meetings of the committee and represent the committee before the Board of Directors. The duty of the vice chairperson is to perform the duties of the chairperson when that individual is absent. It is the responsibility of all advisory committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons to participate in periodic coordination meetings between themselves and the leadership of the VTA Board of Directors. In addition, both positions are normally requested to attend a brief training and orientation session on advisory committee meeting management prior to the commencement of their terms.

60 10 The election process for chairperson and vice chairperson is comprised of three distinct steps. The first step is appointing the nomination subcommittee. The second is presentation of the nomination subcommittee s report. The final step is conducting elections to select the chairperson and vice chairperson. Each of these components is conducted during the committee meeting. Appointing the Nomination Subcommittee The chairperson requests volunteers to serve on the nomination subcommittee, which is typically comprised of two or three members. If there are no volunteers or an insufficient number, it is the chairperson s prerogative to appoint committee members to serve on it. It is required that the committee votes to approve the appointment of members to the nomination subcommittee. This step normally takes place two meetings prior to conducting the elections. The nomination subcommittee identifies members interested in serving as the chairperson or vice chairperson. This is done by soliciting nominations from members, either for themselves or other members, and is done at a time other than during the committee meeting. Additionally, it is the nomination subcommittee s responsibility to determine that members who have been nominated are willing to serve. The nomination subcommittee may also make a recommendation as to its recommended candidate for each position. At its October 2017 meeting, the TAC approved the appointment of members Timm Borden and John Ristow to serve on the nomination subcommittee. Report from the Nomination Subcommittee At the meeting immediately preceding the elections, the nomination subcommittee provides a verbal report to the committee identifying committee members who have confirmed their willingness to serve. This establishes the initial list of candidates for the elections to be held at the next meeting. The nomination subcommittee is automatically discharged when its report is formally presented to the committee. No action is required of the committee other than to receive the report. At the November 2017 TAC meeting, the nomination subcommittee reported that the following individuals had been nominated and had confirmed their willingness to serve: Chair: Vice Chair: Matt Morley, representing the Town of Los Gatos, and 2017 TAC chairperson Joshua Mello, representing the City of Palo Alto, and TAC vice chairperson for the latter portion of 2017 Page 2 of 3

61 10 Election of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson The elections for the chairperson and vice chairperson positions are conducted individually and in sequence. Immediately preceding the vote, the nomination subcommittee report on individuals willing to serve in the respective position will be reiterated, and the chairperson will verify that the named candidates still wish to be considered for the position. Next, the chairperson will ask if there are any nominations from the floor, then close the nomination process to establish the final list of candidates for each position. For instances of multiple candidates for the same position, the order of voting for each candidate is alphabetically by last name. For TAC, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total authorized membership, which is nine votes, is required to elect each position. The term of office for each position begins January 1, ALTERNATIVES: There are no alternatives since the Committee s bylaws specify the election process. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact resulting from the election process. Prepared by: Stephen Flynn, Advisory Committee Coordinator Memo No Page 3 of 3

62 11 Date: December 7, 2017 Current Meeting: December 13, 2017 Board Meeting: January 4, 2018 BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Director - Planning & Programming, Chris Augenstein Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Annual Report Policy-Related Action: No Government Code Section Applies: No ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDATION: 1) Review the status of ongoing Santa Clara County Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) activity, and 2) Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors deobligate and return back to the VRF Countywide fund the advance of $5.5 million given to the City of Gilroy. BACKGROUND: Senate Bill 83 (Hancock) was signed into law in 2009 authorizing countywide transportation agencies such as VTA to implement a Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) of up to $10 on motor vehicles registered within the county for transportation programs and projects. Voters in Santa Clara County approved a VRF on November 2, The VTA Board adopted an expenditure plan allocating the revenue to transportation-related programs and projects that have a relationship or benefit to the persons who pay the fee. This plan dedicates 80% of the VRF revenues to the Local Road Improvement and Repair Program, in which the revenue is returned directly to Member Agencies based on each city/town s population and the County of Santa Clara s road and expressway lane mileage. Another 15% of the revenue is directed to the Countywide Program. On June 7, 2012, the VTA Board of Directors adopted an initial three-year Countywide Program and on December 10, 2015, the VTA Board of Directors adopted a second, three-year Countywide Program for FY2015/16 through FY2017/18 as follows: 1. Devote $3 million to Intelligent Transportation System projects and $300,000 for a countywide Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) strategic plan. On August 4, 2016,

63 11 the VTA Board of Directors increased the amount for ITS projects to $4.2 million. 2. Reserve the remaining funds for matching funds for regional roadway transportation projects included in the adopted Valley Transportation Plan. Up to the remaining 5% of the VRF revenue is reserved for Program Administration. Unused administration funds or leftover funds from under-budget projects revert to the Countywide Program and will be available for future Countywide Program programming. DISCUSSION: During FY2016/17, there was a total of $16,657,719 available for distribution. Of this, $13,326,175 was distributed to Member Agencies via the Local Road and Repair Program, $3,204,049 was placed into the Countywide Program and $146,079 was used to cover administrative expenses. Attachment A explains this VRF activity. Attachment B summarizes allocations of VRF Local Road Improvement and Repair Program funds during FY2016/17. These funds have been used by the Member Agencies in various ways. Attachment C lists projects funded or completed by Member Agencies with Local Road Improvement and Repair Program funds in FY2016/17. Some agencies are combining funds over multiple years and/or combining them with other funding sources to finance large, multi-year projects. The administrative procedures adopted by the VTA Board allow financial audits to be performed at VTA's discretion. Funding agreements between VTA and member agencies require VRF records be available to VTA upon request for review and audit purposes. This is to ensure that each agency has properly expended VRF funds, in accordance with Senate Bill 83 and the Funding Agreement, on eligible transportation projects. The first agency, the City of Sunnyvale, was audited in October 2017 and the auditor's report is attached to this memo as Attachment E. VTA staff anticipates additional agency audits to take place within the next year. On October 6, 2016, the VTA Board approved up to a $5.5 million advance of VRF Countywide Program funding to the City of Gilroy for the First Street repaving project. The advance was to be reimbursed to the VRF Countywide fund using Gilroy's Local Road Improvement and Repair Program (80%) allotment. Since then, Caltrans has secured State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) funding from the State of California to perform this work. Gilroy city staff have informed VTA that they no longer require the advance of VRF funds to perform this work and VTA staff recommends that the Board deobligate these funds back to the Countywide Program so that they can be programmed to future eligible projects. Attachment D shows the status of the Countywide Program (ITS and Matching Fund) projects. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this action will make available $5.5 million for future programing to eligible Vehicle Registration Fee projects. Prepared by: Bill Hough Page 2 of 3

Olive Street Sunnyvale, CA Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Grants Management Department 3331 North First Street San Jose, CA Dear Sirs: RSM US LLP (RSM) was engaged by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to provide review and audit services related to the Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF), Local Road Improvement and Repair Program Funding Agreement (Funding Agreement) between the City of Sunnyvale (City) and VTA, dated August 31, Our engagement was performed in accordance with the Standards for Consulting Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the terms of our Statement of Work between the VTAand RSM. Our procedures were performed solely to assist the VTA in determining compliance with the Funding Agreement and VRF Program requirements. This report should not be used for any other purposes. The procedures we performed, the results of our tests, and any observations are summarized on the following pages. Summary: We noted certain exceptions to the VRF Funding Agreement, or opportunities for improvement, as detailed on the following pages. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the VTA and City of Sunnyvale. ~x: ce~ BfWEger Auditor General, VTA

71 11.e City of Sunnyvale Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority November 3, 2017 VRF EXPENDITURES REPORTED TO VTA BY THE CITY OF SUNNYVALE (RECIPIENT) The following amounts were subject to RSM's testing: Fiscal Year Amount $723,000 $871,788 $797,394 $1,017,792 $816,000 SUMMARY OF OBSERVATIONS We noted the following during our review: VTA's funding contribution was not credited or acknowledged on signage, electronic or printed materials distributed to the public that were related to VRF Program projects, as required by the Funding Agreement. The City should appropriately credit VTA's funding contribution with signage and other distributed materials, if such materials are deemed applicable. Additionally, evidence of applicable publicly-distributed materials and the related VRF-funded project should be included in the City's annual submission of the VRF Program Annual Report to VTA. VRF expenditures are co-mingled with the rest of the City's capital projects expenditures. As a result, we could not obtain the specific supporting documentation for the VRF expenditure amounts reported on the City's Annual Reports to VTA. We were provided with the City's total capital project expenditures and were able to select and test invoices equal to or greater than the reported VRF expenditures. Accounting entries are made to transfer the budgeted VRF amount to a separate fund that is presented in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Although not a Funding Agreement requirement, the City should consider whether to track project expenditures by their specific funding source for the purpose of increased precision and maintenance of an audit trail RSM US LLP.

73 12 Date: December 7, 2017 Current Meeting: December 13, 2017 Board Meeting: N/A BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Director - Planning & Programming, Chris Augenstein 2016 Measure B Bicycle & Pedestrian Capital Projects Competitive Grant Program Discussion FOR INFORMATION ONLY BACKGROUND: On November 8, 2016, the voters of Santa Clara County approved by over a two-thirds vote Measure B, a 30-year, ½ cent sales tax measure supporting transportation projects and service in nine program categories. Per 2016 Measure B, the Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Category intends: To fund bicycle and pedestrian projects of countywide significance identified by the cities, County, and VTA. The program will give priority to those projects that connect to schools, transit, and employment centers; fill gaps in the existing bike and pedestrian network; safely cross barriers to mobility; and make walking or biking a safer and more convenient means of transportation for all county residents and visitors. Bicycle and pedestrian educational programs, such as Safe Routes to Schools, will be eligible for funding. Candidate Projects are set forth in Attachment A. The Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Category candidate projects as set forth in 2016 Measure B can be found on Attachment A. The VTA Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Measure B Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Category Guidelines at their October 5, 2017, meeting. The guidelines are designed to direct the implementation of the Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Category and advise how the program category funds should be allocated. Attachment B provides the adopted Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Category guidelines which include establishing a competitive grant program for capital projects. DISCUSSION: In August 2017, VTA presented the pros and cons of a two-year capital projects competitive

74 12 grant program and a 10-year capital projects competitive project priority list to the VTA Technical Advisory Committee Capital Improvement Program Working Group (CIPWG). In addition to discussing the potential steps and pros/cons of both proposals - shown in Attachment C - VTA requested any additional comments, concerns or preference regarding either of the proposals. Responses and comments received from CIPWG are shown on Attachment D. Both attachments, shared with all of the CIPWG members, were intended to prompt discussion and inform VTA staff of Member Agency preferences and concerns with regards to the Bicycle & Pedestrian capital projects competitive grant program. After discussions on the merits and disadvantages of both options, neither option was clearly favored. Based on CIPWG input and VTA analysis, staff proposes the development of a 10-year fiscally constrained grant program based on the Bicycle-Pedestrian Capital Project Priority List (BPPL). This approach is similar to and will ultimately replace the Bicycle Expenditure Plan (BEP). The development of the BPPL grant program will coincide with the initial 2016 Measure B Capital Projects Competitive Grant call-for-projects. With the BPPL as the priority list of capital projects submitted by Member Agencies, 2016 Measure B funds will be distributed as initially discussed in the 10-year project priority list proposal in Attachment C. Updates to the BPPL would occur every fifth year. NEXT STEPS VTA will develop the 10-year bicycle and pedestrian capital projects competitive grant program scoring and screening criteria, and a schedule for the issuance of the program s call-for-projects. Program development will also include a process to amend the BPPL in off years due to special circumstances. This proposed approach will return to committees as an information item for comment and then taken through committees and the Board of Directors for approval. Once the grant program is approved, a call-for-projects will released. The BPPL will ultimately replace the existing Bicycle Expenditure Plan and its associated scoring and criteria.

77 12.b Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Guidelines Definition from Resolution No To fund bicycle and pedestrian projects of countywide significance identified by the cities, County and VTA. The program will give priority to those projects that connect to schools, transit and employment centers; fill gaps in the existing bike and pedestrian network; safely cross barriers to mobility; and make walking or biking a safer and more convenient means of transportation for all county residents and visitors. Bicycle and pedestrian educational programs such as Safe Routes to Schools, will be eligible for funding. Funding $250 million in 2017 dollars. Distribution Board of Directors will allocate funding schedule and amount for program through the budget cycle. VTA anticipates that allocations will be programmed based upon the total allocation for the Bicycle & Pedestrian Program contained in 2016 Measure B divided by the number of years in the measure. Future allocations will vary depending on the amount of sales tax revenue collected. Funds will be distributed on a 2 year cycle. The program will consist of three categories: education & encouragement programs, planning studies, and capital projects. A total of 15% of available program area funds will be set aside for the education & encouragement category. The funds will be allocated as follows: o $250,000 for countywide (including targeting unincorporated areas) education & encouragement programs o Remaining funds allocated by city population formula with a $10,000 annual minimum allocation per city A maximum of 5% of available program area funds will be allocated to planning studies grants category. If the planning studies grants category is not fully awarded, the remaining funds will roll into the capital category. If a cycle s funds are not fully awarded, the balance will roll into the next cycle s budget. Example of breakdown of grant program funding: If Bicycle/Pedestrian Program Area is programmed at $8.3 million/year: o Capital $6.6 million (minimum) o Planning $415,000 (maximum) o Education & Encouragement $1.25 million (maximum) Page 1 of 3

78 12.b Implementation Education & Encouragement (Formula Distribution) VTA and individual agencies will enter into a Master Agreement for Education & Encouragement funds. VTA will notify agency of estimated allocation for two year cycle. Agency will submit annual education & encouragement work program. Funds will be available on a reimbursable basis. Agencies may submit invoices to VTA on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Invoices must be submitted within one year of the date posted on the contractor s invoice. Education & Encouragement funds may be banked for a maximum of three years with explanation of banking purposes. VTA will conduct an assessment regarding the effectiveness of the program. Grant Program (Competitive) Only a public agency can serve as a project sponsor. Other entities must partner with a public agency to apply for a grant. The grant program will contain two categories: o Capital projects Activities leading to/including: Environmental Clearance Right of Way grant requests must include cost estimates supported by 30% to 35% design. o Planning studies Includes planning studies to support capital project development for those projects currently listed on Attachment A of 2016 Measure B. It does not include general/master planning efforts. The minimum grant award is $50,000. The maximum grant award per sponsoring agency can be no more than 50% of the total available funds per call for projects per cycle, unless the cycle is undersubscribed. Project criteria will be developed in conjunction with the VTA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Capital Improvement Program Working Group, and brought to the TAC and Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) for input. Scoring committee for the grant program will be comprised of three BPAC members, three Member Agency staff, and one VTA staff person. Page 2 of 3

79 12.b Criteria Only projects currently listed on Attachment A of 2016 Measure B are eligible. Capital Projects will be scored on criteria that supports the language in 2016 Measure B. o Countywide significance o Connection to/serves schools, transit, or employment centers o Fills gaps in bicycle/pedestrian network o Provides safer crossings of barriers o Makes walking or biking safer o Makes walking or biking more convenient o Other criteria to consider: Safety benefits Increase in bicycle and pedestrian usage Community support Project readiness Projects serve Communities of Concern Requirements Competitive grant projects require a 10% non 2016 Measure B contribution. Reporting requirements will be detailed in agreements executed with VTA for project funding. All applications must include a delivery schedule. Funds will be available on a reimbursement basis. VTA Complete Streets reporting requirements will be required for Planning and Capital projects. All collateral material will be required to display a 2016 Measure B logo. Page 3 of 3

80 12.c FOR DISCUSSION 2016 Measure B Bike/Ped Competitive Grant Program Capital Projects 10 year Project Priority List vs. 2 year Competitive Grant Program ALL projects submitted must be listed on Attachment A of 2016 Measure B. Ten Year List of Prioritized Projects (Potential steps): 1. Establish scoring and screening criteria. 2. Call for Projects Agencies submit the projects they believe they can deliver in 10 years. 3. Projects are screened and scored. 4. VTA Board adoption of fiscally constrained project list. 5. In each two year funding cycle, VTA contacts project sponsor, and project sponsor identifies: what projects on the list are ready to go, what phase, and how much money they need. Each funding cycle, VTA will go down the list until the funding runs out for that two year funding cycle. 6. Funding agreement executed between VTA and Member Agency. 7. Review list at 5 year mark. 8. Repeat in 10 years. Pros: Cons: Certainty. Member Agencies can rely on funding over the ten years. Secured funding. Cities can use this guarantee to request additional grant funding. Member Agencies can plan local match accordingly and budget multi year projects. Focused efforts: VTA can provide focused efforts in assisting to deliver a limited set of projects. Member Agency staff can provide focused efforts. Reduced administrative time for VTA and Member Agency staff. Clarity. Easier for public and media to understand. Easier to report on progress. Safeguard against temporary priority changes. Allows Member Agencies/VTA to deliver a planned set of projects. Encourages Member Agencies to complete planning and outreach work to develop a 10 year list of priority projects. Staffing issues now impact a community for five/ten years, if they don t have staff to adequately respond to call for projects. Requires that planning and outreach work to develop a 10 year list of priority projects have been completed by Member Agencies. Limited ability to respond to unanticipated situations or changing priorities. Potential Implementation Project list to VTA BOD for adoption August 2018 Page 1 of 2

81 12.c Two Year Competitive Call for Projects (Potential Steps) 1. Establish scoring and screening criteria. 2. Call for projects Agencies submit projects whose phase can be started within two years, prior to the next programming cycle. 3. Screen and score projects. 4. Bring list of projects to VTA Board for adoption. 5. VTA and Member Agency execute agreements. 6. Deliver projects. 7. Repeat in two years. Pros: Cons: Flexibility to respond to changing priorities or unanticipated situations. Ability to tweak scoring criteria. Higher number of projects potentially eligible for funding in a 10 year timeframe. Does not require as much up front planning and outreach work as the 10 year priority list. Does not support looking at projects comprehensively. Projects can be submitted on an ad hoc basis, rather than as part of a 10 year delivery program. Does not guarantee funding over the long range. Commitment is just for the phase being delivered in the next two years. Additional administrative time for VTA and Member Agency staff. Potential Implementation Project list to VTA BOD for adoption May/June 2018 NEXT STEPS comments, concerns, questions, additional Pros/Cons and competitive grant choice to jane.shinn@vta.org by Wednesday, August 9, Questions (and answers), comments, concerns, additional Pros/Cons received will be sent to all CIPWG members.

82 12.d 2016 Measure B Bike/Ped Competitive Grant Program Capital Projects 10 year Project Priority List vs. 2 year Competitive Grant Program Responses and Discussion items from Member Agencies 10 year project priority list vs. 2 year competitive grant program 3 agencies prefer the 10 year project priority list 1 agency requested a 4 year competitive grant program as a compromise 1 agency did not have a preference but requested clarification on the program from Member Agencies: 2 year cycle is too frequent 10 year project list may be too inflexible and infrequent 10 year list is better suited to delivering larger projects like trails projects and major bike/ped barriers Many of the smaller bike/ped projects can be taken care of through our pavement program. It's the larger projects that have a harder time with funding. Having certainty for a longer period of time will allow us to staff up to deliver the projects. There should be a built in reward system for jurisdictions to go after other sources of funding, well beyond the required 10% non Measure B match. One way to accomplish this is to adopt a list of projects larger than the expected funding available over 10 years. When there are project savings, more projects can access Measure B funds. Jurisdictions should be rewarded for leveraging funds and not risk reduced levels of Measure B funding. The program guidelines should establish baseline Measure B funding for all agencies, and it s left up to each agency to determine if it can and wishes to leverage the funds. The Capital program should include EIR, design and construction money as eligible uses. On construction, we want to ensure that those funds can be used to pay others to do the work (e.g. paying XYZ company for constructing the 123 Trail). We d like some flexibility in the definition of precise project alignments. On street bikeways may need to be adjusted based on changes in traffic patterns, strong opposition or other factors. Consider establishment of Bikeway Neighborhood Zones where there might be a commitment to X miles of distributed bikeways to support biking in the area. The precise locations would be flexible until completion of the design phase. Consider prioritized implementation of the Protected Bikeways on corridors that link two or more perpendicular Class I Trail systems. A relatively short Protected Bikeway of about 2 miles may not appear to have high value as a commuter route, but has great value if it creates a viable connection between the ABC Trail and XYZ Trail systems. Page 1 of 2

83 12.d Clarifications/Questions: 10 year project priority list: Clarify Step 5: In each two year funding cycle, VTA contacts project sponsor, and project sponsor identifies: what projects on the list are ready to go, what phase, and how much money they need. Each funding cycle, VTA will go down the list until the funding runs out for that two year funding cycle. and Step 7: Review list at 5 year mark. o Step 5 is to determine what projects on the 10 year ranked priority list are ready for funding and how much is needed until the 2 year budget is allocated. o Step 7 is to review the 10 year ranked priority list to see if additional projects can be added due to increased capacity based on increased revenues or projects being deleted. Step 7 of the 10 yr project priority list: When we review list, does that mean we have opportunity to add new projects to the original list submitted and listed on attachment A? o No. This review is to determine if projects need to come off of the 10 year ranked priority list. Would a project with various phases be eligible for funding for each phase? For example, the Class IV bike facilities planned for XX Rd and YY Blvd will likely be a phased construction. o Yes One of the projects listed in Attachment A is the Countywide Bike Plan Implementation. How will this, and the various projects identified in the document, be handled when Cities apply for funding? o The inclusion of a project in the Countywide Bike Plan can be indicated on the application for grant funds, regardless of 10 year or 2 year.

84 13 Date: December 1, 2017 Current Meeting: December 13, 2017 Board Meeting: N/A BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Director - Planning & Programming, Chris Augenstein 2016 Measure B Local Streets & Roads Eligible Activities FOR INFORMATION ONLY BACKGROUND: On November 8, 2016, the voters of Santa Clara County approved by over a two-thirds vote Measure B, a 30-year, ½ cent sales tax measure supporting transportation projects and service in nine program categories. Per 2016 Measure B, the Local Streets and Roads Program Category intends: To be returned to cities and the County on a formula basis to be used to repair and maintain the street system. The allocation would be based on the population of the cities and the County of Santa Clara s road and expressway lane mileage. Cities and the County will be required to demonstrate that these funds would be used to enhance and not replace their current investments for road system maintenance and repair. The program would also require that cities and the County apply Complete Streets best practices in order to improve bicycle and pedestrian elements of the street system. If a city or the County has a Pavement Condition Index score of at least 70, it may use the funds for other congestion relief projects. The VTA Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Measure B Local Streets and Roads Program Category Guidelines at their October 5, 2017, meeting. The guidelines are intended to direct the implementation of the Local Streets and Roads Program Category and propose how the program category funds should be allocated. The adopted Local Streets and Roads Program Category guidelines are included on Attachment A. The Complete Streets requirements for 2016 Measure B were adopted by the VTA Board of Directors in June The Complete Streets requirements apply to the 2016 Measure B Local Streets and Roads Program Category as spelled out in the measure itself. The adopted Complete Streets requirements are included as Attachment B.

85 13 DISCUSSION: As the development of 2016 Measure B Program Category guidelines progressed, clarification of eligible activities for 2016 Measure B Local Streets and Roads was requested. In addition to clarification of allowable repair and maintenance activities, requests have been made to discuss and clarify the meaning of other congestion relief projects as stated in 2016 Measure B. At the January 2017 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Workshop committee asked what projects would be eligible for other congestion relief projects and wondered whether operational costs were eligible as other congestion relief projects, specifically traffic signals or bike share. TAC members also requested clarification on maintenance and repair projects that would be eligible for 2016 Measure B funds and how to avoid administrative duplication for receipt of the funds. Clarification to questions such as these is the purpose of this discussion. Prepared By: Jane Shinn Memo No Page 2 of 2

86 13.a Local Streets & Roads Program Guidelines Definition from Resolution No To be returned to the cities and the County on a formula basis to be used to repair and maintain the street system. The allocation would be based on the population of the cities and the County of Santa Clara s road and expressway lane mileage. Cities and the County will be required to demonstrate that these funds would be used to enhance and not replace their current investments for road system maintenance and repair. The program would also require that cities and the County apply Compete Streets best practices in order to improve bicycle and pedestrian elements of the street system. If a city or the County has a Pavement Condition Index score of at least 70, it may use the funds for other congestion relief projects Funding $1.2 billion in 2017 dollars. Distribution Formula based distribution to Cities and County (agencies) as contained in 2016 Measure B. Agencies will be informed of allocation amount for a two year period. VTA anticipates that allocations will be programmed based upon the total allocation for Local Streets & Roads contained in 2016 Measure B divided by the number of years in the measure. Future allocations will vary depending on the amount of sales tax revenue collected. After a one time advance, no sooner than October 1, 2017, funds will be available on a reimbursement basis. Implementation VTA and individual agencies will enter into funding agreements. Agencies are required to submit an annual program of projects. For agencies with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 70 or higher, the program of projects may also include congestion relief projects and programs. For agencies with a PCI of 69 or lower, the program of projects is limited to projects that repair and maintain the street system. VTA will review the program of projects to ensure that all projects are eligible for funding. If an agency with a PCI of 70 or higher should have their PCI fall below 70, the agency must redirect all funding to repair and maintenance of the street system in the following cycle. A one time advance, no sooner than October 1, 2017, equivalent to the percentage of the local agency s allocation of the Local Streets and Roads Program Area s percentage share of Program Tax Revenues collections from April 2017 to June 2017 will be distributed to individual agencies upon: Page 1 of 2

87 13.a o Execution of the Master Funding Agreement between VTA and the Agency o Submittal of annual program of projects o Maintenance of Effort certification o Complete Streets Checklist reporting requirements Remaining funds will be available on a reimbursable basis. Agencies may submit invoices to VTA on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Invoices must be submitted within one year of the date posted on the contractor s invoice. Requirements Individual agencies must certify and submit on an annual basis, a Maintenance of Effort report to maintain a level of expenditures on 2016 Measure B Local Streets & Roads eligible activities equivalent to the average expenditures on roadway and related maintenance activities from the agency s general fund during FY10 to FY12. This certification will be submitted with their Annual Program of Projects. All projects must comply with VTA s Complete Streets Reporting Requirements. All collateral material will be required to display a 2016 Measure B logo. Agencies will submit project updates to VTA on a regular basis. The information will be placed on the 2016 Measure B website to keep the public informed on 2016 Measure B spending. Agencies may also be requested to present updates to the 2016 Measure B Citizen s Oversight Committee. Page 2 of 2

88 13.b

89 13.b 6.18 Definition of Complete Streets For the purposes of these requirements, Complete Streets are generally defined as streets: That are planned, designed, funded, constructed, operated and maintained for the safe travel of all users. Where designs are context sensitive, and incorporate a balanced network approach. Which prioritize the safety, comfort, and convenience of pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders (including access and operations), as appropriate for the local context, while still providing safe accommodations for motorists and other roadway users. Where capital projects, once completed, should not degrade the safety, comfort, or convenience of pedestrians, bicyclists, or access to transit, nor should they degrade the travel time of transit operations (recognizing that there may be situations where one of these modes may need to be prioritized over another). Where designs are developed with input from the community and support future conditions. To fulfill the requirements of 2016 Measure B, VTA has worked with Member Agencies and stakeholders to develop Complete Streets reporting requirements that will: Ensure 2016 Measure B projects support the measure s Complete Streets requirement. Provide accountability and transparency to Santa Clara County taxpayers. Allow VTA to report to the public on how Complete Streets practices are being applied to 2016 Measure B-funded projects. Minimize additional Member Agency staff time while still being effective, and that can potentially be expanded to VTA s other funding programs, including One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Cycle III. DISCUSSION: Member Agency and Stakeholder Outreach To develop the Complete Streets reporting requirements, VTA sought input from Member Agency staff, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Caltrans, and the following transportation advocacy organizations: California Walks, Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, TransForm, SPUR, and Friends of Caltrain. Page 2 of 6

90 13.b 6.18 Below is a summary of the outreach VTA has conducted to date: Presented initial concepts and a draft proposal for the Complete Streets reporting requirements to VTA s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and associated working groups. (August November 2016) Presented the same materials to a subcommittee of the VTA Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) which includes the aforementioned advocacy organizations. (August November 2016) Met individually with staff from fifteen Member Agencies, Caltrans, MTC and the BPAC subcommittee to understand project delivery and pavement maintenance practices, and to gather feedback on the draft proposal for Complete Streets reporting requirements. (November January 2017) Hosted a facilitated workshop for 45 attendees, representing Member Agencies and advocacy organizations, to present revised requirements and to better understand commonalities and differences among stakeholders. (January 2017) Presented the proposed 2016 Measure B Complete Streets reporting requirements to VTA s Technical Advisory Committee, Policy Advisory Committee, Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and Congestion Management Program & Planning Committee. (April 2017) Based on the input VTA received through the ten-month outreach process, and through research and analysis conducted by staff, VTA proposes the Complete Streets reporting requirements as outlined below. Proposed Complete Streets Reporting Requirements for 2016 Measure B VTA s approach to Complete Streets compliance keeps design decisions local, while increasing the transparency of these decisions and ensuring the requirements of 2016 Measure B are met. Member Agencies universally requested that reporting requirements for pavement management programs be structured differently, and require less staff time, than those for standalone capital projects. Accordingly, the requirements are divided into two sections: 1) Local Streets & Roads; and 2) Capital Projects. Attachment A presents a process diagram for these requirements. Local Streets and Roads A. Member Agencies will be required to adopt a Complete Streets Resolution. The Page 3 of 6

91 13.b 6.18 resolution will need, at a minimum, to contain the nine Complete Streets elements as outlined by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. (Attachment B). Seven of the sixteen VTA Member Agencies have already adopted the MTC resolution or a variation thereof. B. With an initial funding request, Member Agencies will submit (1) a Pavement Program Self-Declaration Form and (2) a list of street segments anticipated for repaving. The Pavement Declaration Form will require sponsors to detail the pavement condition and the types of anticipated work, as well as anticipated Complete Streets infrastructure. If the Member Agency anticipates that any project segments will not include Complete Streets accommodations identified in a local, county, or regional adopted plan, it must be noted and accompanied by an explanation. VTA will develop the Pavement Program Self-Declaration Form with input from VTA s TAC and its respective Working Groups, and VTA s BPAC. C. After pavement work has been completed, Member Agencies must submit a final list of completed projects on an annual basis, noting the Complete Street accommodations that have been added, upgraded, or maintained. If any segments did not include Complete Streets accommodations identified in an adopted plan, the exception should be noted and explained. Capital Projects A. As is the case with Local Streets & Roads, Project Sponsors will be required to adopt a Complete Streets Resolution. The resolution will need to contain the nine Complete Streets elements as outlined by the MTC. (Attachment B). B. Prior to beginning work, project sponsors must submit a Complete Streets Checklist. The checklist will ask sponsors to detail the project scope, describe anticipated complete streets infrastructure, and describe any negative impacts the project may have on bicyclists, pedestrians, or transit. If the Member Agency anticipates that the project will not include Complete Streets accommodations identified in a local, county, or regional adopted plan, it must be noted and accompanied by an explanation. VTA will develop the Complete Streets Checklist with input from VTA s TAC and its respective Working Groups, and VTA s BPAC. C. VTA and the project sponsor will check in at appropriate point(s) in the project life-cycle to confirm Complete Streets best practices are being applied, and note if an exception should be declared. Check-in points will be determined by VTA, with input from the project sponsor, at project initiation, and documented in the project funding agreement. D. At completion of the phase(s) of the project funded through 2016 Measure B, project sponsors must submit a project close out form, which details Complete Streets elements Page 4 of 6

92 13.b 6.18 provided by the project and, if necessary, explains why Complete Streets infrastructure identified in a local, county, or regional adopted plan has not been included in the project. E. After the project has been constructed, the project sponsor will provide VTA with before and after data and photos, determined on a project-by-project basis. Before and after data will be related to the project purpose and need, and will be determined by the project sponsor. Exceptions As referenced above, VTA will require an exception if a project: a) does not provide Complete Streets infrastructure that is identified in a local, countywide, or regional adopted plan within the project s geographical limits; b) severs an existing bicycle, pedestrian, or transit connection; or c) does not meet minimum design standards or guidelines for Complete Streets infrastructure. Should a Member Agency or project sponsor wish to declare a Complete Streets exception for a local streets and roads or capital project, the project sponsors must provide an explanation and authorization from the agency s Public Works Director, their equivalent, or a designee. Including the explanation in the Pavement Program Self-Declaration Form or Complete Streets Checklist will be sufficient to meet this requirement. While each project is unique, the following are examples of reasonable explanations for requesting an exception: Cost of providing the Complete Streets element is disproportionate to the overall cost of the project. A roadway user is legally prohibited from using the transportation facility. There is an absence of existing and future need. VTA will review the explanation for the exception and, on a case-by-case basis, determine if the project is eligible to receive 2016 Measure B funding. On-line Reporting Several stakeholders requested that pavement lists be made available prior to final design, and that public input be incorporated into final design. In response, VTA plans to facilitate the public input process by posting the Pavement Program Self-Declaration Form online, and having Member Agencies describe their public comment process. Additionally, the Complete Streets Checklist for capital projects will be posted online. NEXT STEPS: If the proposed 2016 Measure B Complete Streets reporting requirements are approved by the VTA Board of Directors, staff will begin implementation. As a first step, VTA will work with the TAC, its respective Working Groups, and the BPAC to develop the Pavement Program Self- Page 5 of 6

93 13.b 6.18 Declaration Form and Complete Streets Checklist. VTA will also integrate the Complete Streets reporting requirements into 2016 Measure B s overall reporting and funding processes, and develop an online reporting tool. ALTERNATIVES: The Board of Directors could choose to approve, modify, or reject staff s recommended 2016 Measure B Complete Streets Reporting Requirements. FISCAL IMPACT: If 2016 Measure B Complete Streets reporting requirements are approved, estimated staff time of 0.5 to1 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) would be required to administer the reporting process. The staff cost would be funded from 2016 Measure B. ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATIONS The Technical Advisory Committee received this item at their May 10, 2017 meeting. Discussion ensued regarding the Complete Streets example resolution in Attachment B, specifically the language requiring consultation with local advisory committees early in a project s development. The Committee endorsed staff recommendation with one member opposing. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee received this item at their May 10, 2017 meeting and discussed the following: 1) process for VTA to comment on Local Streets and Roads Self Declaration Forms before funding is distributed to Member Agencies 2) percentage of overall project cost that would be considered disproportionate, and 3) before-after data for capital projects. The committee voted unanimously to forward staff recommendation to the Board, with the additional recommendation that Member Agencies be encouraged to provide before and after bicycle and pedestrian counts for capital projects funded through 2016 Measure B. The Policy Advisory Committee received this item at their May 11, 2017 meeting and recommended Board approval without comment. STANDING COMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATIONS The Congestion Management Program and Planning Committee received this item at their May 18, 2017, meeting and unanimously recommended Board approval.

95 March 20, b 13.b ATTACHMENT B: COMPLETE STREETS ELEMENTS In order to be eligible for Measure B funding, all Member Agencies must adopt a resolution which contains the nine (9) Complete Streets elements described below. This list is drawn from Metropolitan Transportation Commission s (MTC) model Complete Streets resolution, which was in turn based on the work of SMART Growth America s National Complete Streets Coalition. More information can be found on MTC s website: The general language below gives Member Agencies flexibility to develop their own policy; Member Agencies are encouraged to develop the best policy that fits within the context of their local area, in consultation with affected departments and stakeholders, and to go beyond the required nine elements if desired. Complete Streets Principles 1. Serve all Users - All transportation improvements will be planned, designed, constructed, operated and maintained to support safe and convenient access for all users, and increase mobility for walking, bicycling and transit use. 2. Context Sensitivity The planning and implementation of transportation projects will reflect conditions within and surrounding the project area, whether the area is a residential or business district or urban, suburban or rural. Project planning, design and construction of complete streets projects should include working with residents and merchants to ensure that a strong sense of place is maintained. 3. Complete Streets in all Departments All Member Agency departments whose work affects the roadway must incorporate a complete streets approach into the review and implementation of their projects and activities. Potential Complete Streets opportunities include transportation projects, road rehabilitation, new development, and utility work, among others. 4. All Projects/Phases - The policy will apply to all roadway projects including those involving reconstruction, new construction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation, or changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway, as well as those that involve new privately built roads and easements intended for public use. Implementation 5. Plan Consultation Any proposed improvements should be evaluated for consistency with all local bicycle, pedestrian and /or transit plans and any other plans that affect the right of way. 6. Street Network/Connectivity - The transportation system should provide a connected network of facilities accommodating all modes of travel. This includes looking for 1

96 March 20, b 13.b opportunities for repurposing rights-of-ways to enhance connectivity for cyclists, pedestrians and transit users. The network should include non-motorized connectivity to schools, parks, commercial areas, civic destinations and regional non-motorized networks from publicly owned roads/land and private developments (or redevelopment areas). 7. BPAC Consultation - Input shall be solicited from the local bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee (BPAC) or similar advisory group in an early project development phase to verify bicycling and pedestrian needs for projects. 8. Evaluation Member Agencies will establish a means to collect data for the purpose of evaluating implementation of complete streets policies. Examples include tracking the mileage of bike lanes and sidewalks, the number of street crossings, or the amount of specific signage etc. Exceptions 9. Process Plans or projects that seek exemptions from the Complete Streets approach must provide written finding of how exceptional circumstances dictated that accommodations for all modes were not to be included in the project. The memorandum should be signed by the Public Works Director or equivalently senior staff person or his/her designee. Plans or projects that are granted exceptions must be made publicly available for review. 2

97 TAC Agenda Item # Measure B Local Streets and Roads Program Program Definition: The 2016 Measure B Local Streets & Roads program covers the entirety of public right-of-way and infrastructure, including, but not limited to, pavement, sidewalk, signals, signage, drainage, pedestrian and on-street transit amenities. Maintenance of Effort: The Cities and County of Santa Clara shall maintain their existing investment levels consistent with the State of California s requirements in the 2016 SB1 Local Roads program. Eligible Uses of Funds: Until an agency achieves an average PCI of 70, it must use 2016 Measure B Local Streets & Roads funds for all phases of multimodal roadway maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction, minor improvements and minor enhancements including, but not limited to: o Pavement, pot holes, bridge structures, other infrastructure o Maintenance, and preservation, including complete/green Streets elements. Once an agency has achieved an average PCI of 70, it may use funds for other congestion relief projects as indicated in the law. Standards Projects must incorporate complete streets design, including, but not limited to, best practice design standards and guidelines, such as those published by VTA (e.g. Bicycle Technical Guidelines, Pedestrian Technical Guidelines, Community,, and Transportation Manual), ITE (e.g. ing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares), AASHTO (e.g. Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities), NACTO (e.g. Urban Street Guide, Urban Bikeway Guide, Transit Street Guide), and Caltrans (e.g. Class IV Bikeway Guidance (Separated Bikeways/Cycle Tracks)). Distribution Formula Distributed to the County of Santa Clara by the County s percentage of total road and expressway lane miles, not including freeways; and to Cities/Towns by population share. Percentages shall be calculated using most current California Department of Finance (DOF) population estimates and the most current California Public Road Data Report issued by Caltrans.

98 14 Date: December 7, 2017 Current Meeting: December 13, 2017 Board Meeting: N/A BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Director - Planning & Programming, Chris Augenstein SR 85 Transit Guideway Study Update FOR INFORMATION ONLY BACKGROUND: 2016 Measure B allocates an estimated $350 million for a series of improvements to State Route 85 including noise abatement, transit and congestion relief projects including a transit lane, and an analysis of transit alternatives. The alternatives analysis is intended to give definition to what the transit lane could be Measure B states that the alternatives analysis must evaluate bus rapid transit, light rail and any other future technologies that may be applicable. The SR 85 Transit Guideway Study will provide this alternatives analysis. The SR 85 Transit Guideway Study is being guided by the SR 85 Policy Advisory Board (PAB), which is comprised of elected officials from each of the cities along the SR 85 corridor, as well as the County Board of Supervisors. Upon completion of the SR 85 Transit Guideway Study, the PAB may make a recommendation to VTA s Board of Directors about how to proceed on the SR 85 corridor. The Board of Directors will consider the PAB s recommendation at a subsequent meeting. If approved by the Board, the next step would be to develop an implementation plan for the preferred alternative. The Board of Directors decision about how to proceed on the SR 85 Transit Guideway Study is intertwined with the future of VTA s Silicon Valley Express Lanes Program. Both efforts have competing visions for the unused space along the median of SR 85 between I-280 and SR 87. The SR 85 Transit Guideway Study seeks to convert the space to a transit use while the Express Lanes Program proposes that new express lanes would be built in that space. Ultimately, the Board of Directors must decide which use to pursue-a decision that will be made upon completion of the SR 85 Transit Guideway Study, which is anticipated to occur in mid-late 2018.

99 14 Funding for the SR 85 Transit Guideway Study was intended to be provided by 2016 Measure B. However, given the lawsuit and appeal currently preventing VTA from using 2016 Measure B funds and the urgency created by the dependency of the SR 85 express lanes project upon the outcome of the Transit Guideway Study, VTA has funded the initial work to date with 2000 Measure A New Rail Corridor funds. $400,000 has been allocated toward the initial tasks-an amount that is expected to last until early Unless a favorable outcome is reached in the Measure B lawsuit or VTA decides to allocate more non 2016 Measure B funding to the Transit Guideway Study, work on the study will pause upon depletion of the $400,000. DISCUSSION: The purpose of the SR 85 Transit Guideway Study is to provide a comparison of various alternatives that will allow decision makers to make an informed decision about the future of the SR 85 corridor. The Study will assess capital costs, operating costs, right-of-way constraints, projected ridership, funding availability, project impacts and implementation timelines for multiple alternatives developed by the PAB in collaboration with VTA staff. Work to date has focused on understanding the travel market along the SR 85 corridor, analyzing right-of-way constraints and conducting community outreach. These efforts will inform the next stage of the study, which is to identify the alternatives that will be analyzed. A summary of work to date is provided below. Understanding the Travel Market VTA is developing an SR 85 profile of the types of trips, level of travel demand, origin and destination pairings, and traveler sensitivities by analyzing mobile phone location data, Caltrans vehicle volume data, employer travel data as well as conducting online surveys of SR 85 users and video surveys of the corridor. Though data is still being analyzed, preliminary indications are that the travel market for the SR 85 corridor is highly peaked and directional. This suggests that a transit alternative could be a preferable option for AM northbound and PM southbound travelers, when automobile travel speeds near 10 miles per hour and many SR 85 users report commute durations greater than an hour each way. However, AM southbound, PM northbound, weekday midday and all-day weekend automobile travel speeds typically exceed the speed limit-likely making automobiles the preferred choice over transit during those times. An optimal strategy for a significant transit infrastructure investment is to maximize the value of that investment by operating a high level of transit service-frequent, all-day and seven days a week-along the corridor, provided that it is justified by ridership. However, the peaked and directional travel pattern on SR 85 suggests that a commuter-oriented operating plan that only provides transit service during high-demand hours and in peak directions on weekdays rather than all-day/everyday may be appropriate. Furthermore, survey responses indicating that SR 85 users are generally only willing to consider taking transit if it is faster or equal to their current Page 2 of 4

100 14 option casts doubt on the likelihood of large volumes of travelers switching from automobiles to transit in off-peak directions and at off-peak times. The alternatives analysis will consider multiple operating plans in combination with different infrastructure investments. Analyzing Right-of-Way Constraints The width of SR 85 varies considerably throughout the corridor. The segment of SR 85 north of Stevens Creek is the most constrained with a median that ranges from 20 to 22 feet-well less than the 32 feet needed to accommodate two light rail tracks and less than the 25 feet needed to accommodate two additional lanes for dedicated bus lanes. Additional space constraints would occur at stations where median station platforms could require a dozen or more feet of right-ofway. The median widths of the segment of SR 85 south of McClellan Road is more accommodating, ranging from 30 to 46 feet. Accommodating a transit guideway north of Stevens Creek would require widening the freeway, in turn requiring reconstructing two overpasses (Dana Street and Homestead Road) and rebuilding two pedestrian over crossings (The Dalles and Sleeper Avenue/Dale Avenue) and potential right-of-way takes and impacts to adjacent facilities like the Stevens Creek Trail. Another option could be to construct an aerial guideway, which may require yet-to-be identified infrastructure and aesthetic impacts. The PAB will consider these constraints, the impacts of remedying them and their costs as they develop alternatives to be analyzed. Conducting Community Outreach Community outreach is being pursued on multiple fronts: Community Workshops - An initial round of outreach consisting of three community workshops was conducted in November The workshops occurred in South San Jose, Cupertino and Mountain View. Strong promotion by PAB members led to high attendance with about 160 attendees across the three meetings. Hundreds more watched the YouTube live stream and Cupertino city broadcast. Attendees shared their visions for the corridor with project staff and all input was transcribed to be provided to the PAB. Online Survey - In October and November 2017, VTA collected around 2,500 surveys from SR 85 users, shedding light on traveler frustrations, hopes and values. Key findings include tolerances for travel times and likely modes of station access and egress. Business and Community Groups - VTA reached out to over 500 community groups, all local chambers of commerce and schools along the corridor and met with the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and Moffett Park Business Group. Media Coverage - The project has been covered by the Mercury News, NBC News, NBC Telemundo, CreaTV and KCAT TV 15. A second round of community outreach will be undertaken upon completion of the alternatives analysis-likely around mid The community will be asked to weigh in on the alternatives Page 3 of 4

101 14 and their preferences will be tallied and shared with the PAB prior to the adoption of a PAB recommendation. In the coming months, as the PAB gets closer to identifying alternatives to be analyzed, VTA staff will be reaching out to city staff to seek input on alternatives. Staff is also available to present updates to city/town councils and community or neighborhood groups. VTA staff will provide updates to the advisory and standing committees on an as warranted basis throughout the duration of the study. Prepared By: Adam Burger Memo No Page 4 of 4
