BOARD OF DIRECTORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 10-04-1A APRIL 23, 2010 ACTION REQUESTED – APPROVE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS DISCUSSION AND ACTIONS
MARCH 12, 2010
Chair Lori Holt Pfeiler (Escondido) called the meeting of the SANDAG Board of Directors to order at 10:15 a.m. The attendance sheet for the meeting is attached. 1. PUBLIC COMMENTS/COMMUNICATIONS/MEMBER COMMENTS
Clive Richard, a member of the public, commented on the plans made 20 years ago for the Otay Ranch area in Chula Vista to have a dedicated transit lane that would allow residents to choose a transit option. He bemoaned the fact that those plans had not yet come to pass.
Emily Young, San Diego Foundation, stated that Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) includes the development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), and SANDAG will be the first major Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to include this SCS in its Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). She has been contacted by governments outside of California that are looking at San Diego County as a model for efficient land use, transportation planning, economic development, environmental protection, and the equitable distribution of growth.
Mike Bullock, a member of the public, expressed concern that SANDAG does not have a goal of meeting the California Air Resources Board (CARB) greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions within the implementation of the RTP. He said that staff should focus on meaningful strategies and how they can be made politically acceptable.
REPORTS (2 through 3)
2. OVERVIEW OF CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD ACTIVITIES RELATED TO SENATE BILL 375 (INFORMATION)
Supervisor Ron Roberts, CARB Board member, introduced Lynn Terry, CARB staff.
Ms. Terry provided an overview of statewide activities underway to address the implementation of SB 375 (Steinberg, 2008). It is expected that draft GHG emission reduction targets will be issued in June 2010 for the target years or 2020 and 2035, with CARB Board approval scheduled for September 2010. Targets will be tailored to the various regions around the state.
Chair Pfeiler noted that there was one public comment request for this item.
Mike Bullock, a member of the public, stated that CARB and SANDAG are failing to provide sufficient leadership in Sacramento. He said that we need to price parking if we are going to meet the GHG emission reduction targets. He also suggested “a comprehensive and variable road-use fee pricing system.”
Board member discussion ensued.
Action: This item was presented for information only.
3. SENATE BILL 375 IMPLEMENTATION: CHALLENGES AND NEXT STEPS (DISCUSSION)
SANDAG is in the process of developing its first RTP subject to the provisions of SB 375. At the same time, staff has been coordinating with the state's other major Metropolitan Planning Organizations and CARB to develop a GHG emissions target that will be used to develop the 2050 RTP, including its Sustainable Communities Strategy.
Rob Rundle, Principal Planner, provided the Board of Directors with an overview of the progress made to date and the approach to develop a GHG reduction target for the San Diego region.
Bob Leiter, consultant, described three scenarios for the Board’s discussion: Scenario A – Demand Management and System Efficiency, Scenario B – System Development and Land Use, and Scenario C – strategies that focus primarily on pricing. We would look at the best outcome of each of these scenarious and expect to develop a hybrid scenario that could address the most achieveable target for the region. The results of these scenario analyses would be submitted to CARB as part of the GHG target-setting process.
Mr. Rundle reviewed the target-setting timeline.
Chair Pfeiler noted there were several requests to speak on this item.
Myles Pomeroy, a member of an advisory committee of the San Diego Housing Federation, and an ardent bicyclist, said that SB 375 offers an unprecedented opportunity to coordinate transportation planning with land use in a way that has never been done before. For the first time, transportation decisions will be made on the basis of consistency with land use plans and the SCS, and projects that are consistent with the SCS will be able to obtain some California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) relief. The SCS will require that attention be given on how to retain a true jobs/housing fit. The SCS also provides an opportunity to promote and achieve meaningful social equity and environmental justice goals. The SCS should include policies for attaining those goals, such as minimum mode split goals for biking and walking.
Tom Scott, Executive Director of the San Diego Housing Federation, indicated that they received a grant from the Ford Foundation to work on the social equity parts of SB 375. Included in SB 375 are requirements to address affordable housing. A focus on affordable housing achieves two goals: it brings a greater return on transit use from that investment, and reduces the use of cars to get to work. The jobs/housing fit analysis will show how to better locate affordable housing with jobs in neighborhoods. The Housing Federation has organized an advisory group to develop policies and best management practices. The Ford Foundation is interested in choosing a border community to work on a cooperative effort including transportation, housing, and jobs. We hope SANDAG would help take the
2 lead in going after that funding. Also, the US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) agency has provided funding for a Sustainable Communities Planning grant. We need to work together to go after that funding.
Pamela Epstein, representing the Sierra Club, San Diego Chapter, said that as you move forward with the RTP process, the Sierra Club encourages you to do so by thinking globally but acting locally. They realize that efforts to slow the warming of the planet through reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will take patience, persistence, and determination, especially in the face of economic and operational setbacks. The RTP must place great emphasis on efforts to ensure smart growth with accessible mass transit options. There is a need for comprehensive regional action. The Sierra Club would welcome the opportunity to facilitate a presentation to answer questions behind the science of climate change and global warming. Lastly, she said that the RTP must abide by the AB 32 reduction targets.
Elyse Lowe, Executive Director of Move San Diego, said they are advocates for more effective public transit in our region. She supported SANDAG in its decision, in general, to run the scenarios suggested. She also suggested the creation of a Scenario D, which would be more intensive land use scenarios. Move San Diego acknowledges that SANDAG has no land use authority. However, SANDAG can use this SCS as a visioning tool. In the long-term, increases in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) threaten GHG emissions levels. We need to set our own regional VMT reduction targets and an aggressive transit ridership goal. It’s critical that we take the right steps in the development of the SCS as it will be a model for the rest of the country.
Mike Bullock, a member of the public, provided statistics regarding GHG emission reductions. He stated that CARB targets need to be in line with AB 32 reductions. We need to drive significantly less to meet the targets. Staff Scenarios A, B, and C are needed simultaneously. He also provided comments regarding various parking pricing strategies.
Supervisor Pam Slater-Price (County of San Diego) recommended that an additional strategy be evaluated within one of the existing strategies to encourage the purchase and use of low and zero-emission vehicles due to the spread-out nature of the county. We have existing long-time communities in the back country, and VMT reduction alone is not a viable strategy as there will not be efficient transit from those areas to downtown San Diego.
Councilmember Carrie Downey (Coronado) announced that next Friday the Senate Select Committee on Climate Change and Assembly Bill 32 Implementation will be holding a public workshop here in San Diego.
Board discussion ensued.

Pamela Epstein, Sierra Club San Diego, expressed strong opposition to Alternative LRT3 through Rose Canyon and support for the inclusion of bus rapid transit (BRT) alternatives. She asked that SANDAG take into consideration improved service connections for BRT. She also asked that the Board use the funding resources allocated to this project for other programs.
Mike Bullock, a member of the project, asked that his comments to be placed on the SANDAG Web site. He is a supporter of light rail. He thought this project should be coordinated with the expansion of Interstate 5.
Everett Delano, Friends of Rose Canyon, expressed concerns about alternative LRT3. He noted that Alternative LRT3 mentions several parks but the Marian Bear and Rose Canyon parks are not on that list. The agenda report also does not mention the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) or other park lands. This project route would go entirely through the Rose Canyon Park.
Elyse Lowe, Executive Director, Move San Diego, said she is interested in obtaining more information on these alternatives. Move San Diego has not yet taken a formal position on this project. She asked what would happen if we are not selected to receive federal New Starts funding. She wondered if SANDAG would consider BRT as an insurance policy.
Jim Schmidt, a member of the public, expressed the benefits to be derived from this project to the University City area and UCSD. He stated that there won’t be many more trains operating through Rose Canyon than what is operating now.

FEDERAL SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE File Number 7300400
Introduction
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) embarked on a new partnership aimed at providing all communities – urban, suburban, and rural – better access to affordable housing, more transportation options, and lower transportation costs. This informational report provides an overview of the Administration’s Sustainable Communities Initiative and supportive efforts within the San Diego region.
Discussion
Interagency Partnership for Sustainable Communities
In March 2009, HUD and USDOT announced a new partnership agreement to implement joint housing and transportation initiatives. Shortly thereafter, in June 2009, the EPA officially joined HUD and USDOT to create the Interagency Partnership for Sustainable Communities. This partnership will coordinate federal housing, transportation, and other infrastructure investments to protect the environment, promote equitable development, and help to address the challenges of climate change. The three agencies developed a set of guiding Livability Principles (shown below), as well as a Partnership Agreement that will guide the joint agency efforts (Attachment 1).
• Provide more transportation choices. Develop safe, reliable, and economical transportation choices to decrease household transportation costs, reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote public health.
• Promote equitable, affordable housing. Expand location- and energy-efficient housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races, and ethnicities to increase mobility and lower the combined cost of housing and transportation.
• Enhance economic competitiveness. Improve economic competitiveness through reliable and timely access to employment centers, educational opportunities, services, and other basic needs by workers, as well as through expanded business access to markets.
• Support existing communities. Target federal funding toward existing communities — through strategies like transit oriented, mixed-use development, and land recycling — to increase community revitalization and the efficiency of public works investments and safeguard rural landscapes.
Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program
In the federal FY 2010 budget, Congress provided a total of $150 million to HUD for the Sustainable Communities Initiative (SCI) to improve regional planning efforts that integrate housing and transportation decisions and increase the capacity to improve land use and zoning. Of that total, approximately $100 million will be available for regional integrated planning initiatives through the HUD Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program.
To address this new federal funding opportunity, the City of San Diego, SANDAG, and the San Diego Housing Commission collaborated on a joint letter to HUD, USDOT, and EPA, in support of the SCI. The letter, included as Attachment 2, outlined existing planning and implementation work in the San Diego region, including regionwide efforts such as the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP), Smart Growth Concept Map, and TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program, and community-focused efforts, such as the City of San Diego General Plan and San Diego housing initiatives.
On February 2, 2010, City of San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, SANDAG Chair Lori Holt Pfeiler, San Diego Housing Commission Executive Director Rick Gentry, and other local and business leaders, participated in meetings held in Washington, DC with the USDOT, HUD, and the White House Office of Urban Affairs. Participants shared San Diego’s experience implementing integrated land use and transportation initiatives as successful regional and local models of sustainability.
On February 4, 2010, HUD issued an Advanced Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), which announced the agency’s intention to offer funding through a competitive process for the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program. Through the Advanced NOFA, HUD sought input from states, local governments, and a broad range of stakeholders on how the Grant Program should be structured in order to have the most meaningful impact on regional planning for sustainable development. In response to the Advanced NOFA, the City of San Diego, SANDAG, and the San Diego Housing Commission submitted a second joint letter to advocate for funding to support ongoing regional and local strategies to coordinate strategic planning for housing, land use, and transportation (Attachment 3).
Next Steps
The federal SCI provides an important opportunity for the San Diego region to share its efforts and successes on coordinating land use and transportation planning and promoting sustainable communities. When the NOFA for the HUD Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program is released, staff will work with our member agencies and other stakeholders on possible grant applications as well as on future funding opportunities that become available.

Summary of HUD/DOT/EPA Partnership Agreement http://www.epa.gov/smartgrowth/partnership/index.html
The HUD/DOT/EPA partnership will:
• Enhance integrated planning and investment. The partnership will seek to integrate housing, transportation, water infrastructure, and land use planning and investment. HUD, EPA, and DOT propose to make planning grants available to metropolitan areas and create mechanisms to ensure those plans are carried through to localities.
• Provide a vision for sustainable growth. This effort will help communities set a vision for sustainable growth and apply federal transportation, water infrastructure, housing, and other investments in an integrated approach that reduces the nation's dependence on foreign oil, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, protects America's air and water, and improves quality of life. Coordinating planning efforts in housing, transportation, air quality, and water — including planning cycles, processes, and geographic coverage — will make more effective use of federal housing and transportation dollars.
• Redefine housing affordability and make it transparent. The partnership will develop federal housing affordability measures that include housing and transportation costs and other expenses that are affected by location choices. Although transportation costs now approach or exceed housing costs for many working families, federal definitions of housing affordability do not recognize the strain of soaring transportation costs on homeowners and renters, who live in areas isolated from work opportunities and transportation choices. The partnership will redefine affordability to reflect those costs, improve the consideration of the cost of utilities, and provide consumers with enhanced information to help them make housing decisions.
• Redevelop underutilized sites. The partnership will work to achieve critical environmental justice goals and other environmental goals by targeting development to locations that already have infrastructure and offer transportation choices. Environmental justice is a particular concern in areas where disinvestment and past industrial use caused pollution and a legacy of contaminated or abandoned sites. This partnership will help return such sites to productive use.
• Develop livability measures and tools. The partnership will research, evaluate, and recommend measures that indicate the livability of communities, neighborhoods, and metropolitan areas. These measures could be adopted in subsequent integrated planning efforts to benchmark existing conditions, measure progress toward achieving community visions, and increase accountability. HUD, DOT, and EPA will help communities attain livability goals by developing and providing analytical tools to evaluate progress, as well as state and local technical assistance programs to remove barriers to coordinated housing, transportation, and environmental protection investments. The partnership will develop incentives to encourage communities to implement, use, and publicize the measures.
• Align HUD, DOT, and EPA programs. HUD, DOT, and EPA will work to assure that their programs maximize the benefits of their combined investments in our communities for livability, affordability, environmental excellence, and the promotion of green jobs of the
3
future. HUD and DOT will work together to identify opportunities to better coordinate their programs and encourage location efficiency in housing and transportation choices. HUD, DOT, and EPA also will share information and review processes to facilitate better-informed decisions and coordinate investments.
• Undertake joint research, data collection, and outreach. HUD, DOT, and EPA will engage in joint research, data collection, and outreach efforts with stakeholders to develop information platforms and analytic tools to track housing and transportation options and expenditures, establish standardized and efficient performance measures, and identify best practices.

Re: HUD-DOT-EPA Interagency Partnership for Sustainable Communities
We would like to take this opportunity to applaud the efforts of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on your new partnership to help create sustainable and livable communities. The San Diego region is looking forward to the exciting opportunities that will result from this partnership. This letter serves to highlight the success of our local programs which provide an existing framework from which to augment your efforts.
The strong partnership between the City of San Diego, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), and the San Diego Housing Commission is evidenced through coordinated and strategic transportation, housing and land use planning in the San Diego area. We are committed to continue this partnership in future transit and housing investments and have attached a list of recommendations for your consideration in crafting guidelines for the Sustainable Communities Initiative.
The San Diego region faces many challenges given high land values, varied topography, and sensitive habitats, an international and military presence, and multiple jurisdictions including tribal nations. As a result, we have instituted regional as well as local measures to address these challenges and have supported the integration of housing and transportation investments for almost two decades. SANDAG, our local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), has developed numerous innovative plans that provide a framework for future transit oriented development efforts. The Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) provides a regional strategic planning framework that encourages increased residential and employment concentrations in areas with existing and future transit connections, while preserving open space in one of the most bio-diverse areas in the continental United States.
A key ingredient to successfully implementing the RCP is the Smart Growth Concept Map, which contains approximately 200 existing and potential smart growth locations where high density, compact development can be supported by existing or future transit. SANDAG also has programs and dedicated funding to support projects located in identified smart growth areas. The Smart Growth Incentive Program, a program that capitalizes current and future investment in transportation and transportation-related infrastructure and planning, serves as a vehicle to get projects on the ground and produce tangible results. The program is funded through a dedicated
5
Page Two Sustainable Communities Letter December 22, 2009 revenue source that provides for local matching opportunities that are sustainable and can be directly linked to future federal initiatives.
Multiple jurisdictions within the region have updated general plans or are in the process of updating general plans to complement and support the RCP. The City of San Diego recently adopted a landmark General Plan designed to complement and support the region’s RCP. The 2008 General Plan is principled upon a “City of Villages” strategy that focuses growth into mixed-use activity centers that are pedestrian friendly districts linked to an improved regional transit system and offer a variety of housing types. This year, San Diego will receive the honor of their most prestigious award. The American Planning Association has named San Diego as the winner of its most prestigious award, The Daniel Burnham Award for a Comprehensive Plan, for its 2008 General Plan.
The plans and strategies that have been developed in the San Diego region with its 19 local jurisdictions have applicability to other metropolitan areas as well as smaller cities and towns. The region’s large land area comprised of coastline, mountains, desert and canyons requires an approach that that offers applicability at different scales and geographies to protect land forms and the environment. For example, the City of San Diego’s “City of Villages” strategy employs a scalable approach that increases housing supply and diversity through the development of compact, mixed-use villages in specified areas that are supported by multiple modes of mobility. These village and density contexts include lower-scale neighborhood “Main Streets,” the conversion of strip auto-oriented corridors into transit corridors, moderate scale community districts, and downtown San Diego, our highest density mixed-use area. On a broader scale, the jobs/ housing relationship is being designed to reduce commutes by linking villages to employment centers and other specialized destination areas.
There are several incentives that are being used throughout the region to support affordable housing development including density bonuses, parking reductions and inclusionary housing requirements. These serve to increase the supply and diversity of housing opportunities and distribute them according to smart growth principles. The San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) is currently engaged in an effort to develop an action plan that economically integrates housing affordable to surrounding employment opportunities and transportation infrastructure that is already in place and/or planned for the near future.
The SDHC has been an active participant in the national discussion on combining Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and housing development initiatives. In addition, in November 2009, SDHC began to develop a three year strategic plan, including specific activities and time frames that would establish a TOD Plan for the Housing Commission.
Important work in local and regional climate change planning also is underway. The San Diego region will be the first to implement California Senate Bill 375, which requires both the regions and local jurisdictions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through a “Sustainable Communities
6
Page Three Sustainable Communities Letter December 22, 2009
Strategy” that aligns transportation and land use. SANDAG has already begun the process to develop this strategy as part of its 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which will be ideally suited for integration with federal initiatives. Likewise, SANDAG has developed a draft Regional Climate Action Plan that will include an inventory of regional GHG emissions and identify policy and planning methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the region from a variety of sources. Additionally, the City of San Diego was the first city in California to update its General Plan and undergo review by the State Attorney General’s Office pertaining to climate change, following the passage of California Assembly Bill 32.
As evidenced above, the San Diego region is well positioned to enter into a new era that focuses on infill development and sustainable communities. As gas prices continue to rise and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions grows more urgent, the types of development and infrastructure investments fostered by our local and regional plans will help people adapt to, and prosper in, a reduced carbon and more sustainable future. We look forward to leveraging our local success to advance your interagency livability principles and we thank you for your consideration of our policy recommendations.
Sincerely,
______HON. JERRY SANDERS HON. LORI HOLT PFEILER Mayor Chair City of San Diego SANDAG

MID-COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT PROJECT: File Number 1041501 DRAFT COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES REPORT AND PROJECT SCOPING
Introduction Recommendation
The Board of Directors included the Mid-Coast The Transportation Committee Corridor Transit Project as one of the highest priorities recommends that the Board of Directors within the TransNet Early Action Program. The Mid- approve light rail transit (LRT) Coast Corridor Transit Project will extend transit Alternatives 1handouts (combines 1, 4, and 5), 3, service from the Old Town Transit Center to University and 6 to be carried forward for City serving major activity centers such as the consideration for scoping in the Mid- University of California, San Diego (UCSD), University Coast inCorridor Transit Project Draft Towne Centre (UTC), and downtown San Diego. Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/ Subsequent Environmental SANDAG and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Impact Report. are preparing a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (DSEIS/SEIR) for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. SANDAG will serve as the lead agency for the California Environmental Quality Actreport (CEQA), and FTA will serve as the lead agency for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The initial step in preparing the DSEIS/SEIR was the development and evaluation of preliminary conceptual project alternatives for consideration during CEQA scoping. The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report identifies the purpose and need for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project; examines changed conditions since approval of the prior environmental documents for the project; defines and evaluates the alternatives considered; and recommends a set of alternatives for considerationrevised during scoping. Discussion
On March 26, 2010, the Board of Directors received a report and presentation on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report as information. The March 26, 2010, agenda item is included as Attachment 1. See The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report recommends that LRT Alternatives 1 (combines Alternatives 1, 4, and 5), 3, and 6 be carried forward for consideration at scoping for the Draft SEIS/SEIR as these alternatives effectively meet project goals, improve regional mobility, are cost-effective, and are anticipated to be competitive for FTA New Starts funds. Attachment 1 (pages 4 and 5) presents a map of the recommended LRT Alternatives 1, 3, and 6.
Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group Recommendation
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group (PWG) was established in July 2009 to provide input on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project purpose and need, alternatives for consideration in the environmental review process, the draft environmental document (SEIS/SEIR), and the public involvement plan. The PWG includes members from community planning groups, business, environmental organizations, UCSD, Westfield Group, health care industry, transit riders, students, and other stakeholders in the corridor. The PWG is chaired by San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts.
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report was presented to the PWG as information on March 17, 2010. On March 29 a PWG Informational Session was held, which provided members with an additional opportunity to ask questions about the Draft Report.
At its April 7, 2010 meeting, the PWG approved the following recommendations to the Transportation Committee:
1. The PWG recommends that LRT Alternative 3 be eliminated from scoping and LRT Alternatives 1 and 6 be advanced to scoping. handouts
2. The PWG identified LRT Alternative 1 as the group’s preferredin alternative.
3. The PWG recommends eliminating the TSM, LRT Alternatives 2 and 7, BRT Alternatives 1–4, and Commuter Rail from further study.
The PWG will continue to follow the scoping process and is scheduled to hold its next meeting on May 5, 2010. report The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) is scheduled to receive a report on the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report as information at its April meeting.
Project Scoping
Project scoping provides the public and agencies with an opportunity to review and comment on environmental issues and alternatives proposed to be analyzed in the draft environmental document. revised The 30-day scoping period for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft SEIS/SEIR is tentatively scheduled to begin on May 3 and would continue through June 1, contingent upon the Board of Directors approval of alternatives to carry forward into scoping. During the scoping period, five scoping meetings would be held at locations throughout the Mid-Coast Corridor, including the SANDAGSee offices, Caltrans District 11, Western Clairemont, University City, and UCSD. The meetings will provide an opportunity for the public to receive project information, ask questions, and provide verbal or written comments to SANDAG as part of the project’s public record. Notice and specific details for these meetings as well as information on the submittal of written comments will be posted on www.sandag.org/midcoast after the April 23, 2010, Board of Directors meeting.
2 LPA or Alternatives for Evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR
The Board of Directors and FTA will make the final decision on the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) or alternatives to be evaluated in the DSEIS/SEIR. The final decision is anticipated in summer 2010. Once the scoping period is complete, a Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report will be prepared. The final report will contain a summary of the scoping comments, response to the comments, any revisions to the conceptual alternatives based on the scoping comments, and a recommendation on an LPA or alternatives to be evaluated in the DSEIS/SEIR. The Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report is scheduled to be presented to the Transportation Committee and the Board of Directors in summer 2010.

MID-COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT PROJECT – DRAFT COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES REPORT AND PROJECT SCOPING File Number 1041501
Introduction
The Board of Directors included the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project in the TransNet Early Action Program. The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will extend transit service from the Old Town Transit Center to University City, serving major activity centers such as the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), University Towne Centre (UTC), and downtown San Diego.
SANDAG and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are preparing a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (DSEIS/SEIR) for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. SANDAG will serve as the lead agency for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and FTA will serve as the lead agency for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The initial step in preparing the DSEIS/SEIR was the development and evaluation of preliminary conceptual project alternatives for consideration during CEQA scoping. The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report (Attachment 1) identifies the purpose and need for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project; examines changed conditions since approval of the prior environmental documents for the project; defines and evaluates the alternatives considered; and recommends a set of alternatives for consideration during scoping.
Discussion
Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report
The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report defines, evaluates, and recommends preliminary conceptual alternatives for consideration during the scoping period. The conceptual alternatives include the No-Build Alternative, based on the capital and operating improvements in the SANDAG 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP): Pathways for the Future, and the Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Alternative, based on the highest level of bus service improvement that can be achieved in the corridor with limited capital investment.
The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report defines and evaluates seven light rail transit (LRT) alternatives, four bus rapid transit alternatives (BRT), and one commuter rail (CR) alternative. The LRT alternatives include the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), and its alignment option, approved by the Board of Directors as refined to respond to changed conditions in the Mid-Coast Corridor. Two of the LRT alternatives are similar to the refined LPA and vary only as aligned on, or immediately south of, Voigt Drive. Two of the LRT alternatives avoid the Voigt Drive
alignment, and the remaining LRT alternative remains on the east side of Interstate 5 and does not serve the UCSD West Campus. The BRT alternatives were developed to determine the effectiveness of BRT in serving the Mid-Coast Corridor. BRT alternatives had not been considered in the prior environmental documents. The BRT alternatives range from an alternative that provides exclusive guideway throughout the majority of the corridor to provide the fastest travel times and highest reliability, to a less capital intensive alternative that provides exclusive guideway only in the most congested areas. The CR alternative utilizes the existing Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Corridor heavy rail tracks and double tracking included in the RTP to provide service from downtown San Diego to the University City area. This alternative includes a tunnel from the LOSSAN right-of-way to a deep underground station at UTC via a tunnel under Genesee Avenue.
Recommended Alternatives for Scoping
The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report recommends that five of the seven LRT alternatives described above be carried forward for consideration at scoping. The five LRT alternatives effectively meet project goals, improve regional mobility, are cost-effective or near cost-effective, and are anticipated to be competitive for FTA New Starts funding. The recommended LRT alternatives include the LPA, as refined to respond to changed conditions, and the two alternatives that are similar to the refined LPA and vary only as aligned on, or immediately south of, Voigt Drive. The draft report further recommends that these three alternatives be combined into one alternative with alignment options as these share similar routes and effectiveness. The recommended alternatives also include the two LRT alternatives that avoid Voigt Drive. A total of three LRT alternatives are thus recommended for consideration at scoping. Attachment 1 presents a map of the three recommended LRT alternatives. Attachment 2 presents the FTA Cost Effectiveness Indicator for all alternatives.
The draft report points out that compared to the LRT alternatives, the BRT and CR alternatives are not as effective in meeting project goals and improving regional mobility. Further, the BRT and CR alternatives are not cost-effective and are unlikely to be competitive for FTA New Starts funding.
The Executive Summary of the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report is presented as Attachment 3 and provides a more detailed summary of the information provided herein. A copy of the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report has been provided on the enclosed CD. A downloadable copy of the report is available at www.sandag.org/midcoast. A printed copy of the report or electronic copy on CD also are available by request from the SANDAG Public Information Office at (619) 699-1950.
Meetings Prior to Scoping and Scoping Period
The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report and the recommended alternatives for scoping were presented to the Transportation Committee as information at its March 19 meeting. Staff will summarize any comments received from the Transportation Committee at the March 26, 2010, Board of Directors meeting.
At its April 16, 2010, meeting, the Transportation Committee will be asked to recommend to the Board project alternatives to be carried forward to scoping. The Board of Directors is scheduled to approve alternatives for scoping at its April 23 meeting. The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee will review status of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project at its April 14 meeting.
2 The 30-day scoping period for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project DSEIS/SEIR is anticipated to be conducted from May 3 through June 1, 2010. The alternatives recommended to be carried forward, and the alternatives recommended for elimination, will be presented to the public for review and comment during the scoping period. Additional information on scoping meetings and public outreach activities will be presented to the Transportation Committee and Board of Directors at the April 16 and April 23 meetings, respectively.
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group reviewed the conceptual alternatives recommended for scoping at its March 17 meeting. The Project Working Group is scheduled to meet on a monthly basis in April, May, June, and July.
LPA or Alternatives for Evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR
The Board of Directors and FTA will make the final decision on the LPA or alternatives to be evaluated in the DSEIS/SEIR. The final decision is anticipated in July. Once the scoping period is complete, a Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report will be prepared. The final report will contain a summary of the scoping comments, response to the comments, any revisions to the conceptual alternatives based on the scoping comments, and a recommendation on an LPA or alternatives to be evaluated in the DSEIS/SEIR. The Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report is scheduled to be presented to the Transportation Committee and the Board of Directors in July.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 10-04-11 APRIL 23, 2010 ACTION REQUESTED – DISCUSSION
2050 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM File Number 3100500
Introduction
Public outreach and involvement is underway to support the development of the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and its Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). The 2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan (PIP) (www.sandag.org/2050rtp) (Attachment 1) establishes a process and outlines specific activities for communicating with and obtaining input from the public throughout the RTP development process.
The PIP is based on the SANDAG Public Participation Plan that was adopted December 18, 2009. The latest PIP includes input received from the Regional Planning Stakeholders Working Group (SWG), Regional Planning Committee, and Transportation Committee.
Discussion
The strategies and tactics outlined in the plan will guide outreach efforts to build awareness of the regional transportation planning process and identify opportunities to shape the future of the region. The PIP also describes SANDAG efforts to secure input on developing project priorities, project selection criteria, transportation networks, funding alternatives, meeting greenhouse gas emissions targets, and other elements of the 2050 RTP. These efforts will coordinate with regular interaction with the Regional Planning SWG and recipients of community-based outreach grants. The PIP also will guide efforts to secure input from individuals, organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders in the development of the 2050 RTP.
Subregional Workshops
The next step in the public involvement process is to hold five subregional public meetings/ workshops to provide information on the development of the 2050 RTP and secure input. This effort will include information on the Urban Area Transit Strategy and draft transportation networks, the Notice of Preparation for the 2050 RTP Environmental Impact Report, and the greenhouse gas target setting process that is a requirement for the SCS, which is part of the 2050 RTP. The meetings are scheduled at the following locations:
Monday, April 26 4 to 7 p.m. Escondido City Hall Mitchell Room 201 N. Broadway Escondido 92025 Tuesday, April 27 4 to 7 p.m. Loma Verde Recreation Center 420 Loma Lane Chula Vista 91911
Wednesday, April 28 4 to 7 p.m. Tri-City Medical Center Wellness Center 6250 El Camino Real Carlsbad 92009 Monday, May 3 4 to 7 p.m. Bayside Community Center 2202 Comstock Street San Diego 92111 Thursday, May 6 4 to 7 p.m. Ronald Reagan Community Center 195 East Douglas Avenue El Cajon 92020
Staff also will launch a survey effort at the workshops to secure additional specific feedback for use in developing the 2050 RTP and SCS. The survey also will be posted online.
Members of the Regional Planning SWG provided input into the workshop format and are assisting with outreach by serving as “co-hosts” for the workshops.
Workshop Format
• Welcome from SANDAG Board or Policy Advisory Committee member
• Brief overview presentation so participants understand the timeline for developing the 2050 RTP, opportunities for input at key milestones, and how to navigate the workshop stations to get specific information and provide input on elements of the 2050 RTP
• Stations set up on the following topics with staff available to answer questions:
o 2030 RTP Highway and Transit Networks (baseline for 2050 RTP)
o Transportation networks: three transit network alternatives from the Urban Area Transit Strategy in combination with various draft highway network scenarios
o SCS and greenhouse gas reduction target setting
o Environmental Impact Report
o Survey and Comment station with court reporter
• SANDAG will ensure materials and/or presentations are translated into Spanish (or other languages) as appropriate for the community where the workshop is held
• A court reporter will be available to take input from workshop participants. All input will be documented.
Workshop Promotion
Staff will promote the workshops in rEgion – the SANDAG monthly electronic newsletter, on the SANDAG Web site, through the new RTP outreach newsletter, through media and e-mail outreach, community events, and on the new SANDAG Facebook page. Workshop announcements also will be distributed to Board and Policy Advisory Committee members, Regional Planning SWG members, and others so they can promote input from their constituents and stakeholders.
2 Next Steps
Staff will update the PIP based on feedback received from the Board of Directors. Staff will report to the SANDAG Board and Policy Advisory Committee members on outreach results and evaluate the effectiveness of the sessions. The PIP will be updated as needed to guide the outreach efforts to support the development of the 2050 RTP.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
SANDAG is the first major Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in the State of California to develop a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and its Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) under new state mandates outlined in Senate Bill (SB) 375 and Assembly Bill 32. How the San Diego region complies with these new mandates, identifies how to meet a greenhouse gas reduction target, and creates more sustainable communities will set the stage for other California regions. The 2050 RTP development process promotes strategic planning, emphasizes public involvement, encourages new partnerships, and supports the foundation of the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP): better connecting land use and transportation plans. It is important that stakeholders in the San Diego region work together to develop this ground-breaking 2050 RTP. This Public Involvement Plan (PIP) will establish the framework for a dynamic and interactive process to develop the 2050 RTP.
To obtain public input in the development of the 2050 RTP, SANDAG is implementing a comprehensive public outreach and involvement program. A major goal of this effort is to coordinate with the Regional Planning Stakeholders Working Group, community-based organizations that have received Environmental Justice grants, and to involve non-traditional, as well as traditional audiences, to raise their awareness of the transportation planning process under way and the broad goals to better connect transportation and land use planning. Early public involvement and comment about key components of the RTP is important to SANDAG as part of developing transportation public policies and establishing priorities to meet the travel needs of residents now and into the future.
This 2050 RTP PIP is an element of the agencywide Public Participation Plan (www.sandag.org/ppp) that was adopted by the SANDAG Board December 18, 2009, following a six-month development, input, and review process. The Public Participation Plan was developed in accordance with guidelines established by Federal Highway Administration for metropolitan transportation planning (23 CFR 450.316). It addresses Title VI, related nondiscrimination requirements, and reflects the principles of social equity and environmental justice. Included in the PPP are procedures, strategies, and outcomes associated with the ten requirements listed in 23 CFR 450.316. The PPP also fulfills various state and federal public involvement requirements.
The 2050 RTP PIP also follows guidelines established in the California Transportation Commission’s 2010 Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines (currently in draft format), specifically Chapter 4 – RTP Consultation and Coordination.
Developing the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan
The 2050 RTP will rely upon the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) and other planning efforts as the foundation for integrating land uses, transportation systems, infrastructure needs, and public investment strategies within a regional smart growth framework. The RTP focuses both on the movement of people and goods, including marine terminals, air cargo facilities, freight rail, and land ports of entry that link our region with Mexico. In accordance with state and federal guidelines, the 2050 RTP is scheduled for adoption by the Board of Directors in July 2011.
With each RTP update, SANDAG starts the planning process by establishing a framework of goals, policy objectives, and performance measures to guide the development of the Plan. This is a key
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 1 first step, as it is the policy foundation for the RTP and identifies the “big picture” of what we hope to achieve. The Board of Directors discussed the 2050 RTP vision, goals, and policy objectives to help reach the 2050 RTP goals in fall 2009.
The 2050 RTP goals are structured into two overarching themes: Quality of Travel & Livability, and Sustainability. Quality of Travel & Livability relates to how the transportation system functions from the individual customer perspective (Mobility, Reliability, and System Preservation & Safety), while Sustainability relates to making progress simultaneously in each of the Three “Es” (Social Equity, Healthy Environment, and Prosperous Economy) from a regional perspective.
SANDAG is the first major MPO that is preparing an RTP that will comply with provisions of SB 375. A new regional growth forecast and the results of other studies currently under way—including the Climate Action Strategy, Regional Energy Strategy Update, Regional Bicycle Plan, Urban Area Transit Strategy, Comprehensive Freight Gateway Forecast, airport multimodal planning, high-speed rail planning, and corridor and subregional studies—will be incorporated into the development of the 2050 RTP. Other major tasks include updates to the project evaluation criteria and plan performance measures, economic analysis of investment strategies, and new revenue projections and cost estimates for transportation projects and services.
SB 375: Sustainable Communities Strategy
Per SB 375, the 2050 RTP will incorporate new legislative requirements. The SCS will be a new element of the RTP, and will be designed to show how regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, to be established by the California Air Resources Board, will be achieved through development patterns, infrastructure investments, and transportation measures or policies that are determined to be feasible. Additionally, the SCS must be consistent with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and must address protection of sensitive resource areas. If the SCS does not meet regional GHG reduction targets, an Alternative Planning Strategy (APS) must be developed to demonstrate how the targets could be achieved.
The adopted Smart Growth Concept Map will inform the development of the SCS. The Smart Growth Concept Map contains nearly 200 locations within the region that can support smart growth land uses and transportation investments. These locations were identified by transportation and planning staff from all jurisdictions and adopted by the SANDAG Board in 2006 (updated in 2008). These existing, planned, or potential smart growth locations are based on seven smart growth place types: the Metropolitan Center, Urban Centers, Town Centers, Community Centers, Rural Villages, Mixed Use Transit Corridors, and Special Use Centers, reflecting the notion that smart growth is not a “one-size-fits-all” endeavor. Additionally, tactics from the Climate Action Strategy will provide options for additional measures that could reduce GHG emissions.
The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2050 RTP will require analysis beyond what has been included in previous RTP EIRs. The RTP environmental analysis will include GHG emissions baseline measurements and projections, as well as potential mitigation measures that could reduce those emissions. The EIR also will include analysis of the additional elements required by SB 375, such as the SCS.
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 2 A New Regional Growth Forecast
Similar to past RTPs, the 2050 RTP will be based on a new regional growth forecast that includes existing and planned land uses, and potential redevelopment and infill areas from local general plans. However, most general plans have horizon years much earlier than 2050. As a result, SANDAG has received assistance from local jurisdictions to prepare local land use scenarios that will be applied beyond the local general plan horizon year out to the year 2050. This forecast will be SANDAG’s first estimate of population, housing, land use, and economic growth to the end of the TransNet program in 2048.
Urban Area Transit Strategy
SANDAG is developing an Urban Area Transit Strategy to evaluate possible regional transit strategies that significantly increase the attractiveness and use of transit in the urban area and maximize peak period alternative mode share (including transit, carpool, vanpool, bicycle, and walk trips) in the region. Three transit network alternatives will be developed and tested in conjunction with the rest of the transportation system. Public input will be secured at SANDAG Board and Policy Advisory Committee meetings as well as at the Stakeholders Working Group and other public workshops. One of these networks (or an alternative, combination, or variation) will be incorporated into the 2050 RTP as the regional transit network. Additionally, the study will include short-term action plans and implementation strategies.
2.0 2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan
The Public Involvement Plan will support the development of the 2050 RTP. The PIP also will create opportunities for stakeholders to provide input on the development of the Sustainable Communities Strategy. The strategies and tactics outlined in the plan will guide outreach efforts to build awareness of the regional transportation planning process and identify opportunities to shape the future of the region. The plan also describes SANDAG efforts to secure input on developing project priorities, project selection criteria, transportation networks, funding alternatives, meeting greenhouse gas emissions targets, and other elements of the 2050 RTP and its Sustainable Communities Strategy. These efforts will coordinate with regular interaction with the Regional Planning Stakeholders Working Group and recipients of community-based outreach grants. The PIP also will guide efforts to secure input from individuals, organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders in the development of the 2050 RTP.
This public involvement plan is intended to be a “living” document. Because of the fluid nature of the public involvement process, this plan may be adjusted to respond to issues and circumstances that arise throughout the process and will also be updated at major milestones in the planning and development process.
Environmental Justice
Consistent with the guidelines discussed above, the Public Involvement Plan will comply with SANDAG Policy 25, Federal Title VI legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (as defined in Title 49, Part 37, of the United States Code), Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice,
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 3 Executive Order 13166 on Limited English Proficiency, and other relevant regulations to ensure social equity, environmental justice, non-discrimination and accessibility.
To ensure meaningful access to Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons, SANDAG certifies compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) “Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons.” The policy guidance includes a “Safe Harbor” provision where the USDOT considers the written translation of vital documents in languages other than English (for eligible LEP language groups consisting of 5 percent or more of the population) to be strong evidence of compliance with the recipient’s obligations under Title VI. Based on the Census 2000 data, Spanish is the only language in the San Diego Region that meets or exceeds the 5 percent LEP trigger. However, SANDAG will print materials (or provide translation services or bilingual representatives) in any other languages deemed appropriate by SANDAG.
While involvement from community-based organizations that have received environmental justice mini-grants will enhance outreach efforts, other proactive steps will be taken to ensure diverse audiences are given the opportunity to provide input into the development of the 2050 RTP and its Sustainable Communities Strategy. These audiences include, but are not limited to, minority groups, non-English speakers, lower income households, individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and transit riders.
To reach these audiences, organizations and media outlets representing these communities will be approached to provide 2050 RTP information, solicit participation and input, and provide a means for communicating back with members of these communities. Participation will be encouraged via presentations to these organizations, involvement in events sponsored by these organizations or targeted at these audiences, publishing articles in organizational newsletters, and publishing notices and articles in ethnic media outlets. SANDAG has identified a number of local organizations that work with or represent underserved populations in the project area. These activities also will be coordinated in collaboration with the community-based organizations that have received SANDAG environmental justice grants.
SANDAG will work with these groups to identify opportunities to communicate with or solicit input from their constituents to meet their transportation needs. A draft list of stakeholders is included as Appendix C.
Public Stakeholder Categories
There are a number of groups — each with a unique perspective — that will be interested in the 2050 RTP development process. Outreach to these groups will be achieved by soliciting input through current channels at SANDAG, the Stakeholders Working Group, and other opt-in electronic outreach. The draft list of stakeholders is included as Appendix C. These include organizations and individuals representing the following interests:
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 4 Accessibility Challenged Affordable Housing Advocates Business Organizations Citizens Commercial & Retail Commercial Property Interests Community Planning Groups Community Services Commuters Employers/Businesses Environmental Advocates Environmental Groups Freight Shippers, Providers of Freight Transportation Services General Public Health advocacy organizations Home Builder Representatives Homeowner Associations Industry Peers & Associations Labor Landowner Military Neighborhood and Community Groups Neighborhoods/Residential Professional Planning Organizations Private Providers of Transportation Representatives of Public Transportation Employees Representatives of Users of Pedestrian Walkways And Bicycle Transportation Facilities, Representatives of The Disabled, And Other Interested Parties Representatives of Users of Public Transportation Sustainability-focused organizations Local universities Students; University Student Associations Taxpayer Advocates Tourism Transit Riders Transportation Advocates
Government to Government Consultation and Coordination
Native American Consultation The SANDAG Public Participation Plan details Native American Consultation activities as coordinating with the SANDAG Borders Committee, the Interagency Technical Working Group on Tribal Transportation Issues (Working Group), the Southern California Tribal Chairman’s Association, Reservation Transportation Authority, and other intertribal associations. SANDAG will coordinate with the Tribal Governments to provide input on the 2050 RTP to coordinate transportation and land use planning with tribal nations in
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 5 San Diego County. A Regional Tribal Summit is scheduled for April 9, 2010, where SANDAG and Tribal representatives will discuss regional issues, including the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.
Coordination with Mexico SANDAG will coordinate transportation planning activities with Mexico through the SANDAG Board and Transportation Committees as well as through the Borders Committee, the Committee on Binational Regional Opportunities (COBRO), and other efforts. SANDAG will engage these groups and conduct other outreach efforts to include joint U.S.-Mexico planning efforts in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.
Coordination with California Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Transportation Planning Authorities Collaborate with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and other Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Regional Transportation Planning Authorities (RTPAs) on the GHG target setting process and other SB 375 efforts.

2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 7 Regional Planning Technical Working Group, San Diego Region Conformity Working Group, Bicycle- Pedestrian Working Groups, and other appropriate internal and external committees. This process also will include written and online communications, and media relations. The public involvement process will follow key dates/milestones listed in Appendix A that have been identified by SANDAG and are included in the California Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines. Other tactics and methods are listed below.
Early Public Involvement
Early public involvement activities provide the opportunity to introduce the public to the 2050 RTP, its components, and its development process; gain initial feedback about how the public would like to be involved; and to prepare successful outreach strategies for the development of the 2050 RTP. Public involvement tactics during this period include:
• Prepare informational materials to help educate the public about the 2050 RTP Informational materials to support the 2050 RTP include a project Web site (www.sandag.org/2050rtp), fact sheet, and multimedia presentation. These materials will provide information about the RTP and its components, the development process, and information and/or referrals about how to get involved in the process. These materials will be written in easy-to-understand terms with limited jargon. Materials will be updated as needed throughout the process. The Web site will provide an opportunity for residents to learn about the 2050 RTP online and the ability to register for future e-mail updates. It also will provide access to project materials and documents, including fact sheets, news releases, project documents, and outreach efforts.
• Secure input and feedback at Stakeholders Working Group The Working Group provides a forum for the exchange of information throughout the development of the 2050 RTP. The SWG will be updated regularly on public involvement outreach and activities. One of its principal tasks is to advise SANDAG on the design and implementation of the Public Involvement Plan. The Working Group members are partners in the outreach process.
Public Involvement during 2050 RTP Development
A number of efforts will be implemented during this period to expand communication about the project:
• Promote input opportunities as they come before SANDAG Board, Policy Advisory Committees, Technical and Stakeholder Working Groups The SANDAG Web site includes a calendar that lists dates and times for upcoming meetings. When meetings include opportunities for input into the process or decision-making, they will also be publicized in the following ways:
- Inclusion in agenda highlights an input opportunity for the 2050 RTP
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 8 - Promotion through rEgion when meetings focus on input and decision opportunities - Promotion of key milestones via opt-in e-mail notification
• Distribute information to local and regional media To promote awareness among the media and foster accurate news coverage, press releases and agenda information will be distributed to local and regional media outlets. Reporters will be kept updated on the development and key milestones of the 2050 RTP. See Media List in Appendix B.
• Provide news updates for rEgion and other newsletters Numerous organizations in the region publish newsletters to keep their constituencies informed about issues of interest. Regular news updates about the 2050 RTP will be provided for publication in these organizational newsletters. Examples of newsletters to target are rEgion (SANDAG’s electronic newsletter) and publications of chambers of commerce, homeowners associations, community groups, and others.
• Conduct Public Workshops SANDAG will conduct Public Workshops at key milestones during the development of the 2050 RTP to solicit input on the draft and final 2050 Regional Transportation Plan, the Urban Area Transit Strategy, the draft and final Environmental Impact Report, and other components. (See Appendix A)
• Implement Social Media and other Web-based communications Use the new SANDAG Facebook page, and other social media and Web-based communications to build awareness about the 2050 RTP, promote outreach events, provide information, secure input, and facilitate dialogue..
• Speakers Bureau program To keep the local community and larger regional interests informed about the project throughout the process, the 2050 RTP and other plan elements will be promoted through SANDAG Speakers Bureau. These presentations will serve to share information about the project and the planning and development process.
• Participate in community events To reach a wider audience, project information will be provided and community input sought through participation in community events and festivals. These events may be sponsored by community groups, or could be targeted toward a specific audience, i.e., minority groups. A portable informational booth will be taken to various festivals, street fairs, etc., to share information about the project and to seek feedback from members of the public through comment cards, surveys and other means.
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 9 • Continue regular news updates SANDAG will continue to provide news updates for rEgion and other relevant Web- based and mailed publications to report newsworthy information.
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 10 • Update Informational Materials All project informational materials will be updated to reflect any updated or changed information that occurs during the preparation of the 2050 RTP. This will include updates to the project fact sheet, Frequently Asked Questions, Web site, multimedia presentation and any other materials that provide project information.
Community-Based Outreach
To help ensure diverse and direct input into the 2050 RTP and key related components from residents throughout the San Diego region, SANDAG is partnering with community-based organizations in critical communities of concern, providing resources to those community groups. The primary goal of the Community-Based Outreach Mini-Grant program is to engage and encourage diverse, inclusive, and active public participation from stakeholders in specific communities who traditionally may not have been involved in regional public policy planning processes (e.g., low income, seniors, minorities, persons with disabilities, and other identified populations). Through a competitive bid process, SANDAG awarded grant funding to eight community-based organizations to conduct this outreach in coordination with other agency public involvement activities being undertaken to help prepare the RTP, the update of the SANDAG Public Participation Plan, and other key regional initiatives.
In addition to the activities described above, each organization receiving a grant also appointed one representative to serve as a community-based network member of the new Regional Planning Stakeholders Working Group (SWG). The community-based organizations working on this outreach and involvement effort are:
Able-Disabled Advocacy All Congregations Together Casa Familiar El Cajon Community Collaborative Friends of Adult Day Health Care Centers Linda Vista Collaborative San Ysidro Business Association
5.0 Public Involvement Plan Assessment
To assess the effectiveness of the public involvement efforts, SANDAG will assess the effectiveness of the Public Involvement Plan at key milestones in the project development process. These reports will help SANDAG to evaluate public involvement strategies and tactics and make adjustments along the way, and will inform future public involvement outreach phases of the 2050 RTP.
These reports will include:
• A summary of all outreach efforts and input received • A qualitative assessment of how effective the efforts to obtain input were, i.e., audiences reached, did audience provide required input needed for 2050 RTP and Sustainable Communities Strategy, and how will/is input incorporated into 2050 RTP development
2050 RTP Public Involvement Plan April 23, 2010 11 • A quantitative assessment of the public involvement plan including the number meetings/presentations/events participated in, Web site hits, approximate number of people reached, number of comments received, and number of media contacts along with the resulting media coverage • The Public Involvement Plan will be revised and strategies/tactics adjusted based on assessments at key milestones

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 10-04-12 APRIL 23, 2010 ACTION REQUESTED – APPROVE/ADOPT
FY 2011 TRANSIT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM File Number 8000180
Introduction Recommendation
The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the The Transportation Committee recommends North County Transit District (NCTD) have that the Board of Directors: developed their capital improvement programs (CIPs) for FY 2011. The CIPs are the basis for 1. approve the FY 2011 CIPs for the updating the Regional Transportation San Diego region (MTS and NCTD); Improvement Program (RTIP). Based on the CIPs, SANDAG will apply for the Federal Transit 2. approve the submittal of FTA Sections Administration (FTA) Section 5307 Urbanized 5307 and 5309 applications for the Area formula funds and the Section 5309 Rail San Diego region (SANDAG, MTS, and Modernization funds for MTS and NCTD capital NCTD); and projects for which SANDAG is the implementing agency in accordance with Senate Bill 1703. 3. adopt Resolution No. 2010-09, approving These would be the capital projects for planning; Amendment No. 20 to the 2008 RTIP. design and construction of new infrastructure and facilities; rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and facilities; capital projects involving environmental, engineering, and construction support; and construction right-of-way.
Both MTS and NCTD will continue as grantees for routine capital projects that support the day-to- day business of the operators. Examples of projects for which each operator would apply for their respective federal grant include maintenance and repair projects and procurements, right-of-way and equipment in support of operations, revenue and nonrevenue vehicle procurements, light rail vehicle maintenance, and revenue vehicle parts and components, as well as operating assistance for new rail extensions, preventive maintenance, associated capital maintenance, and some Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit services.
The MTS Board of Directors approved its CIP on February 18, 2010. The NCTD CIP is scheduled to be approved by the NCTD Board of Directors in June 2010 in conjunction with the approval of its annual Operating Budget. The funding levels used for CIP development were preliminary and were based on the anticipated Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2010 apportionments and some carryover of the FFY 2009 apportionments. The funding available for the FY 2011 CIP reflects the action taken by the SANDAG Board of Directors at its February 26, 2010, meeting to approve transit revenue estimates for FY 2011 (and future fiscal years). These estimates assume the same funding level as the FY 2010 CIP. Upon receipt of the final FFY 2010 FTA apportionments, any differences in the funding levels will be included with the FY 2012 CIP process.
MTS and NCTD undertook very similar project selection processes based on established criteria, and these involved the active participation of sponsoring agencies and/or departments. The FY 2011 Five-Year Constrained CIPs for MTS and NCTD are attached (Attachments 2a-2b).
Discussion
FTA Section 5307 and Section 5309 Federal Formula Funds
These FTA formula programs are the primary sources of funding for transit operational and replacement capital projects in the region. The funds can be used generally to provide 80 percent of the cost of capital projects, ADA operations, transit planning, and preventive maintenance activities (considered to be operating costs). The ratio increases to 83 percent for the “clean-fuel” buses and vehicles meeting ADA requirements.
The Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula program is a block grant program in which each urbanized area over 50,000 in population receives financial assistance to provide public transit. The formula for determining each metropolitan area’s share of funds is based on an urbanized area’s population, population density, levels of existing fixed guideway service, and levels of existing bus service and ridership. The Section 5307 program is designed to meet routine capital needs for urbanized areas, such as San Diego County. Section 5307 formula funds may not be used for operating assistance, however, preventive maintenance (in essence an operating cost) and some ADA complementary paratransit services are considered capital costs.
The Fixed Guideway Modernization program (also known as Rail Mod) is one of three categories of funding under the Section 5309 Capital Investment Program, which also includes the Bus Capital and Fixed Guideway New Starts programs. These latter two programs are designed to assist in meeting extraordinary capital needs and are awarded generally at the discretion of the United States Congress. Unlike the Section 5309 Bus Capital and Fixed Guideway New Starts programs, the Rail Mod program is apportioned by formula. Section 5309 Rail Mod funds are allocated to rail systems that have been in operation for at least seven years. Eligible projects include the modernization of existing fixed guideway systems, including rolling stock. Both the COASTER and the San Diego Trolley qualify for Section 5309 funds. Like the Section 5307 funds, the Rail Mod funds may be used for preventive maintenance costs as well as for rail capital.
Traditionally, after allocating funds to SANDAG for regional planning, which is assumed to grow at the same rate as the total FTA formula program, the balance of the formula funds have been allocated to the transit operators on a 70 percent/30 percent basis, the 70 percent share going to the more populous MTS area and the 30 percent share going to NCTD. This methodology was approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors on February 23, 2007.
Preventive Maintenance
The FTA defines preventive maintenance as all maintenance costs related to vehicles and nonvehicles. Specifically, it is all the activities, supplies, materials, labor, services, and associated costs required to preserve or extend the functionality and serviceability of the asset in a cost- effective manner, up to and including the current state of the art for maintaining such an asset. Both MTS and NCTD are applying for the maximum preventive maintenance allowable under the federal Sections 5307 and 5309 programs in their FY 2011 CIP ($45.6 million for MTS and $24.5 million for NCTD).
2 MTS FY 2011 CIP
Attachment 1b includes a summary of the five-year MTS capital program. The program is primarily funded with FTA formula funds and the required local match. In addition to the FTA formula funds, the MTS CIP includes some additional funding from the federal Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP), Proposition 1B, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) rebate overage, Transportation Development Act (TDA) swap for ADA funds, and transfers from existing capital projects that have been delayed or completed under budget. The MTS CIP program assumes approximately $45.6 to $46.3 million for preventive maintenance for each of the next five years. The remainder would be used for capital projects and SANDAG planning, ranging from $36.5 million to $52.3 million over the five-year period.
Attachment 2a includes the MTS FY 2011 Five-Year constrained CIP, totaling $36.5 million in FY 2011. This report shows the constrained projects each year, meaning these projects will be funded based on the projected funding levels for each of the next five years. The MTS CIP Budget Development Committee reviewed and prioritized the capital project submittals to ensure that operationally critical projects were funded. The remaining projects were deferred; however, it is recognized that the continued deferral of some projects could have negative impacts on system infrastructure in future years.
Attachment 3a includes the five-year, unconstrained need for the MTS Capital Improvement Program totaling approximately $454.7 million. For FY 2011, the CIP will provide approximately $83 million for capital projects and preventive maintenance, which includes the approximately $36.5 million for capital projects (or approximately 59 percent of the MTS unconstrained capital project needs in FY 2011).
NCTD FY 2011 CIP
Attachment 1c includes a summary of the five-year NCTD capital program. The NCTD FY 2011 CIP assumes approximately $19.1 to $24.5 million of formula funds for preventive maintenance for each of the next five years with the remainder being used for capital projects (ranging from $10.7 million to $12.1 million over the five-year period).
Attachment 2b includes the NCTD FY 2011 Five-Year constrained CIP, totaling approximately $11.1 million in FY 2011. NCTD staff prepared and reviewed the NCTD FY 2011 Five-Year Constrained CIP. This report shows the constrained projects each year, meaning these projects will be funded based on the projected funding levels for each of the next five years. As part of the annual CIP development process, NCTD completed a rating and ranking process for all of its capital projects. If funding for the CIP is not sufficient to fully fund the proposed program, projects would be funded on a priority basis, based upon their final ranking. If funding exceeds the estimated levels, priority projects that did not receive all funding requested could receive additional funding.
Attachment 3b includes the five-year, unconstrained need for the NCTD CIP, totaling approximately $114 million. The NCTD unfunded capital program includes several major capital projects on the horizon over the next five years, including bus replacements, rail bridge and infrastructure replacements. NCTD capital needs for the future far exceed the projected availability of federal formula funds.
3 Long-Term Capital Needs
MTS and NCTD have significant capital maintenance needs for the aging infrastructure of the transit system. The projected funding necessary to adequately maintain the transit system far exceeds any amount that could be received from the federal formula programs.
In conjunction with the annual CIP process, the transit operators develop a list of unfunded transit capital and rehabilitation projects. The criteria used to evaluate and prioritize the projects were approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors at its October 2006 meeting. The prioritized project lists can be used as a basis to actively seek regional funding through the federal and state legislative processes. The FY 2011 regional transit capital and rehabilitation unfunded project lists for MTS and NCTD are shown in Attachments 4a-4b.
Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP)
As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the San Diego region, SANDAG is the designated recipient for FTA formula funds and is responsible for programming the FTA funds to eligible projects and grantees in the RTIP. The RTIP is the multi-year funding program for major highway, arterial, transit, and nonmotorized projects. All CIP projects must be included in the RTIP. The projects included in the FY 2011 CIP are included in the proposed Amendment No. 20 to the 2008 RTIP Table 1 (Attachment 6). This list is currently being circulated for public review and comment. The comments are due by April 16, 2010.
Amendment No. 20 was originally scheduled for review by the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) at its April 14, 2010, meeting. The ITOC routinely reviews RTIP amendments, focusing its review on the TransNet funded projects. However, the April 14 ITOC meeting was cancelled due to lack of a quorum. The TransNet-related projects in Amendment No. 20 will be presented to the ITOC at a rescheduled April meeting. Any significant comments received from the public or expressed by any ITOC members will be presented to the Board of Directors. As of the date of this report, no comments have been received. Amendment No. 20 also includes projects that were awarded the FFY 2010 FTA discretionary funding and it also would transfer the estimated cost savings of $4 million from the Trestles bridge replacement project to the NCTD Positive Train Control project.
Federal regulations require the 2008 RTIP to be a revenue-constrained document with programmed projects based upon available or committed funding and/or reasonable estimates of future funding. Funding assumptions are generally based upon: (1) authorized or appropriated levels of federal and state funding from current legislation; (2) conservative projections of future federal and state funding based upon a continuation of current funding levels; (3) the most current revenue forecasts for the TransNet program; and (4) the planning and programming documents of the local transportation providers.
Tables 2a through 2c (Attachment 7) provide updated program summaries including a comparison from the prior approved version. (Chapter 4 of the Final 2008 RTIP discusses, in detail, the financial capacity analysis of major program areas including discussion of available revenues). Based upon the analysis, the projects contained within the 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 20, are reasonable when considering available funding sources.
4 Air Quality Analysis
On July 25, 2008, SANDAG found the 2008 RTIP in conformance with the Regional Air Quality Strategy/State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the San Diego region. All of the required regionally significant capacity increasing projects were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the 2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP) and the 2008 RTIP. The FHWA and the FTA jointly approved the conformity determination for the 2008 RTIP and the conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP on November 17, 2008.
Projects in RTIP Amendment No. 20 meet the conformity provisions of the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.122(g)). All capacity-increasing projects in Amendment No. 20 were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the 2030 RTP and 2008 RTIP. All other projects not included in the air quality conformity analysis are either noncapacity increasing or are exempt from the requirement to determine conformity according to the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.126). SANDAG followed interagency consultation procedures to determine which projects are exempt. Amendment No. 20 does not interfere with the timely implementation of Transportation Control Measures.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 10-04-14 APRIL 23, 2010 ACTION REQUESTED – INFORMATION
COMPASS CARD STATUS UPDATE File Number 1145700
The Compass Card was launched in May 2009 for COASTER and Premium Express Bus pass holders. Since September, when we began selling Compass Cards at five third-party outlets, SANDAG has grown the Compass Card distribution network to 61 outlet locations, in addition to the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) Transit Store and North County Transit District (NCTD) Customer Service Center locations, ticket vending machines, and via the Internet.
Since last month’s report, SANDAG, MTS, and NCTD have increased the total distribution of Compass Cards to approximately 62,000 active monthly pass holders or roughly 83 percent of total pass holders. SANDAG, working with NCTD, began the conversion of SPRINTER/BREEZE pass holders to Compass Cards starting on April 20, 2010. SPRINTER/BREEZE monthly pass holders will be the last group of pass holders to be converted from paper passes to Compass Cards.
SANDAG, NCTD, and MTS are implementing enhancements to the online Compass Card account management system, which was launched in February. The account management system gives patrons the ability to buy, reload, and self-manage their Compass Card accounts. The planned enhancements are intended to improve the users’ experience and make the site more user-friendly. We have begun this service for Premium Express and COASTER customers. In the coming months the agencies are planning on expanding this service to all pass holders.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 10-04-10 APRIL 23, 2010 ACTION REQUESTED – APPROVE
MID-COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT PROJECT: File Number 1041501 DRAFT COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES REPORT AND PROJECT SCOPING
Introduction Recommendation
The Board of Directors included the Mid-Coast The Transportation Committee Corridor Transit Project as one of the highest priorities recommends that the Board of Directors within the TransNet Early Action Program. The Mid- approve light rail transit (LRT) Coast Corridor Transit Project will extend transit Alternatives 1 (combines 1, 4, and 5), 3, service from the Old Town Transit Center to University and 6 to be carried forward for City serving major activity centers such as the consideration for at scoping in for the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), University Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Towne Centre (UTC), and downtown San Diego. Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/ Subsequent Environmental SANDAG and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Impact Report. are preparing a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (DSEIS/SEIR) for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. SANDAG will serve as the lead agency for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and FTA will serve as the lead agency for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The initial step in preparing the DSEIS/SEIR was the development and evaluation of preliminary conceptual project alternatives for consideration during CEQA scoping. The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report identifies the purpose and need for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project; examines changed conditions since approval of the prior environmental documents for the project; defines and evaluates the alternatives considered; and recommends a set of alternatives for consideration during scoping.
Discussion
On March 26, 2010, the Board of Directors received a report and presentation on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report as information. The March 26, 2010, agenda item is included as Attachment 1.
The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report recommends that LRT Alternatives 1 (combines Alternatives 1, 4, and 5), 3, and 6 be carried forward for consideration at scoping for the Draft SEIS/SEIR as these alternatives effectively meet project goals, improve regional mobility, are cost-effective, and are anticipated to be competitive for FTA New Starts funds. Attachment 1 (pages 4 and 5) presents a map of the recommended LRT Alternatives 1, 3, and 6.
Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group Recommendation
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group (PWG) was established in July 2009 to provide input on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project purpose and need, alternatives for consideration in the environmental review process, the draft environmental document (SEIS/SEIR), and the public involvement plan. The PWG includes members from community planning groups, business, environmental organizations, UCSD, Westfield Group, health care industry, transit riders, students, and other stakeholders in the corridor. The PWG is chaired by San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts.
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report was presented to the PWG as information on March 17, 2010. On March 29 a PWG Informational Session was held, which provided members with an additional opportunity to ask questions about the Draft Report.
At its April 7, 2010 meeting, the PWG approved the following recommendations to the Transportation Committee:
1. The PWG recommends that LRT Alternative 3 be eliminated from scoping and LRT Alternatives 1 and 6 be advanced to scoping.
2. The PWG identified LRT Alternative 1 as the group’s preferred alternative.
3. The PWG recommends eliminating the TSM, LRT Alternatives 2 and 7, BRT Alternatives 1–4, and Commuter Rail from further study.
The PWG will continue to follow the scoping process and is scheduled to hold its next meeting on May 5, 2010.
The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) is scheduled to receive a report on the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report as information at its April meeting.
Project Scoping
Project scoping provides the public and agencies with an opportunity to review and comment on environmental issues and alternatives proposed to be analyzed in the draft environmental document.
The 30-day scoping period for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft SEIS/SEIR is tentatively scheduled to begin on May 3 and would continue through June 1, contingent upon the Board of Directors approval of alternatives to carry forward into scoping. During the scoping period, five scoping meetings would be held at locations throughout the Mid-Coast Corridor, including the SANDAG offices, Caltrans District 11, Western Clairemont, University City, and UCSD. The meetings will provide an opportunity for the public to receive project information, ask questions, and provide verbal or written comments to SANDAG as part of the project’s public record. Notice and specific details for these meetings as well as information on the submittal of written comments will be posted on www.sandag.org/midcoast after the April 23, 2010, Board of Directors meeting.
2 LPA or Alternatives for Evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR
The Board of Directors and FTA will make the final decision on the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) or alternatives to be evaluated in the DSEIS/SEIR. The final decision is anticipated in summer 2010. Once the scoping period is complete, a Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report will be prepared. The final report will contain a summary of the scoping comments, response to the comments, any revisions to the conceptual alternatives based on the scoping comments, and a recommendation on an LPA or alternatives to be evaluated in the DSEIS/SEIR. The Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report is scheduled to be presented to the Transportation Committee and the Board of Directors in summer 2010.
