29 AGENDA ITEM 6

30 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: May 15, 2017 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Technical Advisory Committee Jillian Guizado, Senior Legislative Affairs Analyst Aaron Hake, External Affairs Director State and Federal Legislative Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update On March 30, 2017, Governor Brown reappointed Joe Tavaglione to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). He is one of nine CTC members appointed by the Governor. Commissioner Tavaglione has been instrumental in the success of critical transportation infrastructure projects, including the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project, the 60/91/215 interchange, the Colton Crossing, and numerous others. SB 1 (Beall), ACA 5 (Assembly Member Frazier and Senator Newman), SB 132 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review), SB 496 (Cannella), SB 130 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review) SB 1 was passed by both houses on April 6, 2017 and signed by Governor Brown on April 28, Also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, SB 1 estimates over the next 10 years $ billion will be allocated to local agencies and $ billion will be allocated within the state for transportation purposes. In addition, it sets preliminary performance outcomes for state highway investments to ensure the existing transportation system is brought into a state of good repair. In conjunction with SB 1, the state legislature passed ACA 5, SB 132, and SB 496. ACA 5 is a constitutional amendment that will go before the voters in November 2018 to lockbox the revenues raised in SB 1. SB 496 removes the duty for design professionals to defend public agencies against claims, except those arising out of negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct on the part of the design professional. SB 132 appropriates funds from the Fiscal Year budget for particular transportation projects, including: $100 million for the Merced Campus Parkway Project and $400 million for the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) train extension to Ceres and Merced. Additionally, SB 132 creates the Riverside County Transportation

31 Efficiency Corridor and allocates $427,172,000 for five projects in northwest Riverside County: 91 Express Lanes Toll Connector to Interstate 15 North, Hamner Avenue Bridge Widening, McKinley Street Grade Separation, Jurupa Road Grade Separation, and Interstate 15/Limonite Avenue Interchange. The Riverside County specific funds are available until June 30, 2023, and require the Secretary of Transportation to convene a taskforce to accelerate delivery of the listed projects. Separately, SB 130 is moving through the legislature and would restore vehicle license fee revenues to the four newest cities in Riverside County: Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Wildomar, and Menifee. Revenues raised by SB 1 come from the following sources: 12 cent gasoline excise tax increase and annual adjustment for inflation (starting November 2017) Resets price based excise tax on gasoline and annual adjustment for inflation (starting July 2019) Transportation improvement fee on registered vehicles ranges from $25 $175 depending on vehicle value (starting Spring 2018) 20 cent diesel excise tax increase and annual adjustment for inflation (starting November 2017) 4 percent increase on diesel sales tax (starting November 2017) $100 vehicle registration fee on zero emission vehicles (starting July 2020) $706 million Transportation Congestion Relief Program (TCRP) loan repayments Local Streets and Roads (LSR) and State Transit Assistance (STA) funds to Riverside County are anticipated to be $38.7 million annually and $15 million annually respectively, attached. Additionally, Caltrans District 8 will receive approximately $226 million annually for the State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) and the Commission will have $4.7 million annually to program in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Metrolink may receive approximately $4 million annually for the next three years. The statewide Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program will receive $25 million annually of which the Commission expects to receive approximately $1.2 million annually. The rest of the funds available under SB 1 are expected to be distributed on a competitive basis. These funds include: Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) at $273 million annually; Active Transportation Program (ATP) at $100 million annually; Trade Corridor Enhancement Account (TCEA) at $300 million annually; State and Local Partnership Program (SLPP) at $200 million annually; and Congested Corridor Program (CCP) at $250 million annually. AB 28 (Frazier)

32 This bill was signed by the Governor and is considered to be part of the transportation package authorized under SB 1. AB 28 reauthorizes National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Assignment that allows Caltrans, on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), to approve that certain NEPA requirements are met. AB 1189 (Garcia) The Commission s sponsored bill, AB 1189 (Garcia), received only a single referral in the Assembly and is a non fiscal bill, which means the bill will require fewer hearings and sets up a potentially efficient path through the Legislature. AB 1189 was referred to the Assembly Committee on Local Government and was heard and passed on April 5. The bill passed off the Assembly Floor on April 20. Next, it will go to the Senate Rules Committee. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments, Riverside Transit Agency, Western Riverside Council of Governments, Self Help Counties Coalition, Mobility 21, and HNTB have provided letters of support. In addition, the California State Council of Laborers went on the record as supporting the bill. The only opposition received to date is by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. AB 91 (Cervantes) This bill would require Caltrans to convert all existing high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Riverside County to operate only during hours of heavy commuter traffic; during all other times the lanes would be open to all vehicles, including those with a single occupant. In addition, any new HOV lane would be required to operate under the same requirements. After May 1, 2019, Caltrans could reinstate the HOV lanes in Riverside County to operate with occupancy requirements 24 hours a day after reporting to the Transportation Committees the effect the conversions had on safety and traffic. This bill specifies these conditions would not apply to existing toll lanes. As prior Assembly Committee on Transportation analyses accurately point out, HOV lanes constructed using federal funds must not result in new air quality violations or worsen existing violations. If the HOV lanes in Riverside County are converted to part time, it could result in the Commission having to repay federal funds or the region having to propose and construct a new project that would meet or exceed the air quality improvements originally proposed by the HOV projects. The committee analysis further points out that part time HOV facilities in Northern California are common due to the region s dramatic unidirectional peak period traffic patterns; Southern California has more hours of peak period traffic that is bidirectional. AB 408 (Chen) This bill would require the Commission to pay a property owner s litigation expenses in eminent domain proceedings if the Commission s offer to the property owner is lower than 90 percent of the compensation awarded after an eminent domain jury trial. Furthermore, the bill would give the court the option to require the Commission to pay the property owner s litigation expenses if the Commission s offer to the property owner is between 90 percent and 100 percent of the

33 compensation awarded in an eminent domain jury trial. Based on input from our right of way attorney, staff believes this bill would harm the Commission s ability to successfully settle its eminent domain suits without going all the way to trial. AB 408 has since died, but because of the adverse impact the Commission expected from AB 408, the Commission still adopted an oppose position so that swift action can be taken if a similar bill resurfaces this session. AB 1523 (Obernolte) AB 1523 would allow the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to use the design build procurement and project delivery method for local agencies to reconstruct the Mt. Vernon Avenue Viaduct. SB 150 (Allen) This bill would amend the process for setting regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets under SB 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008), which sets a framework for regions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of a sustainable communities strategy (SCS) as part of the regional transportation plan (RTP) process through a bottom up approach. The intention of the SCS is to identify strategies that each metropolitan planning organization (MPO) is to implement as a means of reducing GHG emissions through coordination of transportation, land use, and planning, with regional targets set for 2020 and This process is done regionally in a holistic manner that balances various regional priorities, rather than by a strict project by project analysis. The GHG emission reductions identified are then used to meet statewide emission reduction goals set forth under AB 32 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006). Under the process defined by SB 375, regional GHG emission reduction targets are to be set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) through information gathered by a Regional Targets Advisory Committee composed of a variety of transportation and environmental stakeholders and through consultation with the MPOs and air districts. No specified metric to reduce emissions was mandated under SB 375. The targets are to be updated by the CARB every eight years. SB 150 would amend this process by requiring the CARB, in updating the targets, to also take into account additional state GHG emission reduction goals, including those in SB 32 (Chapter 249, Statutes of 2016), which set the statewide goal of reducing GHG emissions 40 percent by In addition, the bill further specifies that these targets are to be set using the latest available climate science and the reductions are to be met through reductions in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and criteria air pollutants. By specifying VMT, this changes the focus from overall GHG reductions to a blended focus that includes VMT reductions. The CARB would be required to hold two additional public hearings as it revises the GHG targets. Under SB 150, each SCS would have to include an appendix that outlines the region s planning and programming activities to prioritize projects for programming that reduce VMT and maximize co benefits, including public health, social equity, and conservation. Criteria to be considered in

34 prioritizing projects are to include but not be limited to: 1) a reduction in per capita carbon dioxide emissions from cars and light trucks, 2) a reduction in VMT by 15 percent by cars and light trucks by 2050, 3) an increase in the average daily time spent walking or bicycling for transportation purposes, and 4) a decrease in the share of low income or lower middle income residents household income consumed by transportation and housing. Beginning in 2018, the CARB would be required to monitor each MPO s SCS or alternative planning strategy (APS) and prepare a report to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) assessing whether each region is on track to reducing VMT 15 percent by This report is to be provided every four years thereafter. The Southern California Associated Governments (SCAG) and the county transportation commissions in its region, including the Commission, have spent significant resources developing a RTP and SCS that meet the targets assigned by the CARB. Staff believes SB 150 is unneeded due to the region s continued demonstration of being committed to meeting statewide air quality goals. SB 150 presents significant changes to how projects would be programmed and implemented in the region, specifically targeting the authority county transportation commissions in the SCAG region have over this programming and planning process. In addition, by adjusting the reporting period to occur every four years, it is unclear how this would inform the region s reaching of its reduction goals due to the length of time it often takes for emission reductions to result from large transportation capital investments. SB 477 (Cannella) This bill allows for the expansion of intercity passenger rail service beyond the boundaries of three existing joint powers authorities (JPAs) that currently operate intercity rail service. Current law establishes the Los Angeles San Diego San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) JPA and authorizes the state to contract with the JPA to operate the popular Pacific Surfliner Amtrak route. The Commission is a member agency of the LOSSAN JPA. This bill would provide the opportunity for the future Coachella Valley San Gorgonio Pass rail corridor to be operated by LOSSAN. While the governance of the Coachella Valley San Gorgonio Pass rail corridor service has not been fully vetted at this point in time, SB 1197 creates an opportunity that could be utilized in the future if it is determined by the Commission and the other LOSSAN member agencies it is best to incorporate the new corridor into the existing JPA, rather than creating a new agency or allowing Caltrans Division of Rail to operate this rail service. The bill is authored by Members of the Legislature from Central and Northern California who are seeking to expand the reach of intercity rail in that part of the state. Staff believes this bill has potential future benefits to Inland Southern California as well. Federal Update On May 5, President Trump signed a $1 trillion funding bill to keep the federal government operating through September The bill fully appropriates the FY 2017 FAST Act funding authorizations. Next, Congress will begin work on the FY 2018 budget.

39 SB 1 Local Streets and Roads Spending Guidelines CHAPTER 2. Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (a) The Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program is hereby created to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the local street and road system. Funds made available by the program shall be prioritized for expenditure on basic road maintenance and road rehabilitation projects, and on critical safety projects. (b) (1) Funds made available by the program shall be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following: (A) Road maintenance and rehabilitation. (B) Safety projects. (C) Railroad grade separations. (D) Complete street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project. (E) Traffic control devices. (2) Funds made available by the program may also be used to satisfy a match requirement in order to obtain state or federal funds for projects authorized by this subdivision. (c) To the extent possible and cost effective, and where feasible, the department and cities and counties receiving funds under the program shall use advanced technologies and material recycling techniques that reduce the cost of maintaining and rehabilitating the streets and highways, and that exhibit reduced levels of greenhouse gas emissions through material choice and construction method. (d) To the extent possible and cost effective, and where feasible, the department and cities and counties receiving funds under the program shall use advanced technologies and communications systems in transportation infrastructure that recognize and accommodate advanced automotive technologies that may include, but are not necessarily limited to, charging or fueling opportunities for zero emission vehicles, and provision of infrastructure to vehicle communications for transitional or full autonomous vehicle systems. (e) To the extent deemed cost effective, and where feasible, in the context of both the project scope and the risk level for the asset due to global climate change, the department and cities and counties receiving funds under the program shall include features in the projects funded by the program to better adapt the asset to withstand the negative effects of climate change and make the asset more resilient to impacts such as fires, floods, and sea level rise. (f) To the extent beneficial, cost effective, and practicable in the context of facility type, right of way, project scope, and quality of nearby alternative facilities, and where feasible, the department and cities and counties receiving funds under the program shall incorporate complete street elements into projects funded by the program, including, but not limited to, elements that improve the quality of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and that improve safety for all users of transportation facilities.

40 (g) For purposes of funds directed to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, the guidelines and reporting provisions shall be consistent with Section of the Government Code. (h) Guidelines adopted by the commission to facilitate the allocation of funds in the account shall be exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) (h) Notwithstanding Section of the Government Code, the balance of the revenues deposited in the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account are hereby continuously appropriated as follows: (1) Fifty percent for allocation to the department for maintenance of the state highway system or for purposes of the state highway operation and protection program. (2) Fifty percent for apportionment to cities and counties by the Controller pursuant to the formula in clauses (i) and (ii) of subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 2103 for the purposes authorized by this chapter (a) (1) Prior to receiving an apportionment of funds under the program pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 2032 from the Controller in a fiscal year, an eligible city or county shall submit to the commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds pursuant to an adopted city or county budget. All projects proposed to receive funding shall be included in a city or county budget that is adopted by the applicable city council or county board of supervisors at a regular public meeting. The list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds shall include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. The project list shall not limit the flexibility of an eligible city or county to fund projects in accordance with local needs and priorities so long as the projects are consistent with subdivision (b) of Section (2) The commission shall report to the Controller the cities and counties that have submitted a list of projects as described in this subdivision and that are therefore eligible to receive an apportionment of funds under the program for the applicable fiscal year. The Controller, upon receipt of the report, shall apportion funds to eligible cities and counties. (b) For each fiscal year, each city or county receiving an apportionment of funds shall, upon expending program funds, submit documentation to the commission that includes a description and location of each completed project, the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the improvement (a) Cities and counties shall maintain their existing commitment of local funds for street, road, and highway purposes in order to remain eligible for an allocation or apportionment of funds pursuant to Section 2032.

41 (b) In order to receive an allocation or apportionment pursuant to Section 2032, the city or county shall annually expend from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual average of its expenditures from its general fund during the , , and fiscal years, as reported to the Controller pursuant to Section For purposes of this subdivision, in calculating a city s or county s annual general fund expenditures and its average general fund expenditures for the , , and fiscal years, any unrestricted funds that the city or county may expend at its discretion, including vehicle in lieu tax revenues and revenues from fines and forfeitures, expended for street, road, and highway purposes shall be considered expenditures from the general fund. One time allocations that have been expended for street and highway purposes, but which may not be available on an ongoing basis, including revenue provided under the Teeter Plan Bond Law of 1994 (Chapter 6.6 (commencing with Section 54773) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code), may not be considered when calculating a city s or county s annual general fund expenditures. (c) For any city incorporated after July 1, 2009, the Controller shall calculate an annual average expenditure for the period between July 1, 2009, and December 31, 2015, inclusive, that the city was incorporated. (d) For purposes of subdivision (b), the Controller may request fiscal data from cities and counties in addition to data provided pursuant to Section 2151, for the , , and fiscal years. Each city and county shall furnish the data to the Controller not later than 120 days after receiving the request. The Controller may withhold payment to cities and counties that do not comply with the request for information or that provide incomplete data. (e) The Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with subdivision (b) when deemed necessary.

46 DATE: May 15, 2017 TO: FROM: RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Technical Advisory Committee Martha Masters, Management Analyst Grace Alvarez, Planning and Programming Manager Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director SUBJECT: Obligation Delivery Plan Update FFY 2016/17 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), RCTC is responsible for ensuring that federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds apportioned to Riverside County are allocated and obligated in a timely manner to prevent funds from lapsing. Federal Obligation Authority (OA) for the region is provided on an annual basis and has to be used in the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) it is provided. The Commission s goal is to ensure that 100 percent of its OA is obligated. RCTC has been working closely with local agencies and Caltrans to ensure projects on the Obligation Delivery Plan are obligated and delivered. Many of these projects are from the 2013 Multi Funding Call for Projects, 2013 RSTP Call for Projects, CVAG s 2014 CMAQ Call for Projects, and various other projects that had been awarded RSTP or CMAQ funds by the Commission. The attached obligation plan is an outline of the projects that have RSTP or CMAQ programmed in FFY 2016/17. The information provided in the attached obligation plan comes from milestone updates received from your agencies, discussions with project sponsors, and our monthly meetings with local assistance. As we near the end of the FFY 2016/17, we have assessed the probability of 16 projects currently in the pipeline for federal aid approval (E 76), totaling $141,607,153, and believe 69 percent of the planned obligations have a good chance of securing E 76 approvals, totaling $129 million. The main contributor to perhaps one of our highest obligation year is the I 15 ELP that has a combined programming amount of approximately $109 million. The highest obligation previously achieved by Riverside County was $88,975,678 in FFY 2010/11. We will be working closely with Caltrans and other County Commissions to determine if RCTC will need an apportionment and/or OA loan from another County to ensure our projects are obligated, as needed.
