Adjournment Chair Sander adjourned the meeting at 11:45 a.m. Item #15-2-2 Transportation Committee Action January 29, 2015 Unmet Transit Needs Findings for Sacramento Regional Transit District, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties, and the Cities Therein Issue: The Transportation Development Act (TDA) requires that SACOG, as the four-county Regional Transportation Planning Agency, make annual unmet transit needs findings for the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SRTD) and for jurisdictions eligible to use TDA funds. Jurisdictions outside of the SRTD are permitted to use TDA funds on street and road projects if they have filled all transit requests that meet SACOG’s adopted definitions of “unmet transit need” and “reasonable to meet.” Recommendation: That the Transportation Committee recommend that the Board: (1) approve the minutes of the five previously held public hearings on unmet transit needs in Sacramento County, including the SRTD and cities therein, and in Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties and the cities therein (see Attachments F-H), and of the public hearing held on January 29, 2015, before the SACOG Board of Directors (Attachment I); and (2) adopt the attached resolutions regarding unmet transit needs in each county, cities therein, and the SRTD. Discussion: State TDA statute established a Local Transportation Fund (LTF) for each county. LTF revenues are derived from 1/4 cent of the state retail sales tax and are returned to each county according to the amount of tax collected. LTF funds are apportioned to jurisdictions within each county on a population basis. In Sacramento County, the LTF apportioned to jurisdictions located within the SRTD may only be used for transit service. However, jurisdictions located outside of the SRTD may use their LTF apportionments for street and road projects, provided they have no transit requests that meet SACOG’s adopted definition of “unmet transit needs” that are “reasonable to meet.” It is the responsibility of the SACOG Board annually to make one of the following findings for each of the four counties and the cities therein and the SRTD: (1) there are no unmet transit needs; (2) there are no unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet; or (3) there are unmet transit needs, including transit needs that are reasonable to meet. These findings must be made prior to approving TDA claims for street and road projects. TDA statutes require that SACOG follow a specific process in making an unmet transit needs finding for each jurisdiction. Staff has carried out this process for FY 2015-16 (described in Attachment A). As part of the

By David Schonbrunn TRAC Vice President, Policy The Governor’s startlingly candid admission that “Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacra- mento to San Diego, let alone from San Francisco to LA” has triggered what could become a major reassessment of the State’s commitment to this project. Governor Newsom’s candor was a total break from eight years of uncompromising support by Jerry Brown for a project that still has no realistic long-term funding. The release of the California High- Speed Rail Authority’s (CHSRA) 2019 Project Update Report. and the Trump Administration’s cancellation of a $929 million grant to the project, when added to the Governor’s statement, combine to create a highly dynamic situation.
