MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: June 9, 2010

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger Executive Director, CCJPA

SUBJECT: LOCAL TAXPAYER, PUBLIC SAFETY, AND TRANSPORTATION PROTECTION ACT OF 2010

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to adopt a resolution of support for the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, and Transportation Protection Act Of 2010, which will be on the November 2, 2010 general ballot.

BACKGROUND At its February 20, 2009 meeting, in response to a request from California Transit Association (CTA), the CCJPA Board adopted Resolution 09-2 which supported CTA’s effort to examine the feasibility of a statewide ballot initiative to protect transit funding. Efforts have advanced and three parties (CTA, California Alliance for Jobs, and League of California Cities) have been involved in a mega-initiative to protect transportation, redevelopment and other local services and are asking for support as the parties attempt to qualify the initiative. A signature collecting effort was completed in April 2010 and over 1.1 million signatures were submitted to qualify the initiative for the November 2, 2010 general election. The next step requires the parties to submit the final ballot language to the Secretary of State in June 2010.

The CCJPA’s involvement in this initiative is linked through its membership with the CTA. From a historical perspective, the Public Transportation Account (PTA), which finances the state’s transit capital and operating obligations, has lost a total of $3 billion in FY 2007-08 and FY 2008-09. Recently, the “gas tax swap” legislative package was enacted by the Governor in March 2010 and reduces funding to the PTA by 75% per year through the elimination of the state sales tax on gasoline. To offset this loss of gas sales tax revenues to transit, state sales tax on diesel fuel was retained and expanded. These sales tax receipts on diesel fuel are now the sole remaining funding source for state’s transit services including the Capitol Corridor and the other intercity passenger rail corridors.

Of significant concern to the CCJPA and other state transit agencies is that these new diesel sales tax revenues are not constitutionally protected and will be subject to raids and diversions as part of the annual state legislative process. This uncertainty jeopardizes the CCJPA’s ability to plan and implement its service expansion plans which in turn affects the CCJPA’s applications for current and future federal High Speed/Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) capital grants to support the expansion plans.

The intent of the initiative is to provide the constitutional protections for the dedicated diesel sales tax funds while not imposing any detrimental impact on the State’s General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the CCJPA Board adopt a resolution of support for the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, and Transportation Protection Act Of 2010, which will be on the November 2, 2010 general ballot.

Motion: The CCJPB adopts the attached resolution. ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 6 BEFORE THE CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Support for Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, And Transportation Protection Act Of 2010 To Be Placed On The California November 2010 General Election Ballot/ Resolution No. 10-6

WHEREAS, the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (“CCJPA”) was formed pursuant to State law to manage the Capitol Corridor public intercity passenger rail services in Northern California; and

WHEREAS, the CCJPA solely relies on funding from the State of California for operations funding with a majority of such State funding also providing capital investments; and

WHEREAS, in Fiscal Years 2008 and 2009 the Governor of California and the California State Legislature diverted approximately $3 billion combined from transit programs and placed the funds instead into the State General Fund; and

WHEREAS, recent enacted legislation by the Governor in March 2010 eliminates, starting in FY 2010-11, the state sales tax on gasoline and retains and expands the state sales tax in diesel fuel to provide annual funding support for the CCJPA and other local transit agencies; and

WHEREAS, these new diesel sales tax revenues for state transit services are not constitutionally protected and will be subject to raids and diversions as part of the annual state legislative process; and

WHEREAS, the loss of prior designated state sales tax on gasoline and diesel funds plus the uncertainty associated with the new diesel sales tax formula jeopardizes the CCJPA’s administrative and operational funding as well as the ability to secure current and future federal High Speed/Intercity Passenger Rail capital grants; and

WHEREAS, the voters of the State of California have repeatedly passed measures designed to preserve and protect transportation funds; and

WHEREAS, the California Transit Association, of which the CCJPA is a member, has joined a coalition of taxpayers, public safety, local government, transportation, business and labor, seeks to place the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, and Transportation Protection Act of 2010 before the voters of the State of California; and

WHEREAS, it is necessary for the California Transit Association to have the public support of as many of its Public Transit System member agencies as possible.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the CCJPA Board of Directors does hereby support the Local Taxpayer, Public Safety, and Transportation Protection Act of 2010 that would preserve and protect funding for public transit investments.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the California Transit Association.

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger Executive Director, CCJPA

SUBJECT: PASSENGER INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM UPGRADE PROJECT: REVISED BUDGET

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to approve a budget increase for the Passenger Information Display System (PIDS) Upgrade Project.

BACKGROUND In 2008, CCJPA was awarded $750,000 in FY 08 Prop 1B transit Safety/Security funds from CalEMA to replace and upgrade the PIDS signs at stations along the corridor, and the CCJPA authorized staff to precede with the upgrades project pursuant to CCJPA Resolution 08-2. As such, staff entered into agreements with Amtrak to manage the RFP process and oversee installation.

As the project advanced from design to procurement, unexpected cost increases occurred with the manufacturing of these signs in accordance with the project team’s design specifications as well as an increase in quantity for these new signs based on feedback from the passengers. Staff has been able to secure an additional $100,000 in FY09 Prop 1B Transit Safety/Security funds to offset the cost increases, which revises the project budget to $850,000.

Per CCJPA Procurement procedures, any changes in budget for CCJPA projects that exceed $100,000 or 10% of the total project budget require authorization and approval from the CCJPA Board of Directors. As such, it is recommended that the CCJPA Board approve the PIDS budget that has been revised in conjunction the changes orders described above.

Status Update: New four (4) line PIDS signs are installed at 12 stations, with the remaining 4 installations to be completed by mid June. The software upgrade (Project Phase 2) will be completed within the same timeframe.

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the CCJPA Board approve the revised budget of $850,000 for the Passenger Information Display Sign Upgrade Project and authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or her designee to enter into the necessary funding and development agreements for the Project.

Motion: The CCJPB adopts the attached resolution.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: June 9, 2010

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger Executive Director, CCJPA

SUBJECT: SACRAMENTO-ROSEVILLE 3rd TRACK PROJECT: DESIGN PLANS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to authorize funding and related agreements to advance and complete the environmental documents and design plans for the Sacramento-Roseville 3rd Track Project.

BACKGROUND Previously the CTC had programmed in the State Transportation Improvement Program - Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (STIP-IIP) to the CCJPA $3.53 million for the purposes of a construction project related to a planned third mainline track between Sacramento and Roseville expanded Capitol Corridor service between Sacramento and Roseville. This programming has been pushed out each year due to the funding shortfalls in the STIP. At the time the programming request was made, specifications and costs for the project required to expand Capitol Corridor service were not fully developed and subsequently, issues with the State budget delayed the initial programming for these funds. These funds are now available in FY 2010/11. CCJPA staff, having had the benefit of working with both Union Pacific Railroad and Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) in the interim time period, has better defined the extent of the project improvements required to increase service between Sacramento and Roseville. The CCJPA, Staff Coordinating Group (SCG), and its partners in this effort (PCTPA and the City of Roseville) will use these funds to prepare design plans and environmental documentation for the planned track and station improvements required to increase service between Roseville and Sacramento.

CCJPA’s intention is to utilize these funds to develop design plans and complete all the necessary environmental documentation (both National Environmental Policy Act and California Environmental Quality Act - NEPA and CEQA, respectively) which is required for the project to become eligible for both Federal and State construction grants. Once the design/environmental phases are underway, CCJPA intends to apply in FY 2011 for future Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) funding grants which would be combined with existing State Proposition 1A and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) funds already secured by CCJPA and Placer County, respectively.

The planned track improvements designed would include a third mainline track between Sacramento and Roseville, including an additional bridge crossing across the American River, and the potential relocation of the Roseville Station to a location which provides for more fluid passenger and freight rail operations. A complete public environmental scoping process, as required by NEPA/CEQA, will be required to study various alternatives, especially concerning the potential relocation of the Roseville Station. A complete design/environmental phase would be expected to take anywhere from 18-24 months.

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or her designee to enter into agreements necessary to secure funding for and implement the design plans and environmental documents for the Sacramento – Roseville 3rd Track Project for an amount not-to-exceed $3,530,000.

Motion: The CCJPB adopts the attached resolution. ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 12

BEFORE THE CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In the Matter of Providing Authorization to Obtain Funds For the Design and Environmental Documentation For the Sacramento to Roseville Third Track Project Resolution No. 10-9

WHEREAS, the California Transportation Commission (“CTC”) approved programming in FY 10-11 of $3.53 million in the 2010 State Transportation Improvement Program (“STIP”) funding for the preparation of design plans and environmental documentation for the Sacramento-Roseville 3rd Track Project (“Project”), a project consistent with CCJPA’s adopted Vision Plan (2005); and

WHEREAS, CCJPA staff has consulted with the CCJPA Staff Coordinating Group (“SCG”), its partners Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”), Placer Country Transportation Planning Agency (“PCTPA”), and the City of Roseville to prepare the design plans and environmental documentation that would support the construction of the Project; and

WHEREAS, CCJPA staff will utilize these funds with UPRR to design the Sacramento-Roseville 3rd Main Track Project and the CCJPA will prepare environmental documentation for the project; and

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: June 9, 2010

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger Executive Director, CCJPA

SUBJECT: REINVESTMENT OF COST SAVINGS FROM BAHIA CROSSOVER AND EMERYVILLE TRACK PROJECTS

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to authorize reinvesting cost savings from the (1) Bahia-Benicia Crossover project towards a Track Improvement Program (Capitalized Maintenance) and (2) Emeryville Track Project for implementation of the CCJPA’s Wireless Network Project.

BACKGROUND Cost Savings from the Bahia-Benicia Crossover Project: The CCJPA was awarded two (2) funding grants (Bay-Area Regional Measure 2-$2.75 million; and State Proposition 1B Intercity Rail Account funds - $4.75 million) totaling $7.5 million to complete the Bahia-Benicia Crossover project. Based upon the completion of the Bahia-Benicia Crossover Project in late April 2010 (including the typical subsequent 3-month project closeout invoicing process from the Union Pacific Railroad - UPRR), the CCJPA anticipates at least $3.5 million in remaining unexpended Prop 1B Intercity Rail Account funds. While reinvestment of these funds requires approval from the California Transportation Commission (CTC), in consultation with the CCJPA Staff Coordinating Group (SCG), the CCJPA would like to reinvest these remaining funds as follows:

1. $2.5 million for CCJPA’s Track Improvement Program of the existing track system: This program will supplement the incremental maintenance of way payments provided to UPRR through the Amtrak-derived formula currently funded in the CCJPA/Amtrak operating agreement. Components of this CCJPA effort are above and beyond current Amtrak formula-based railroad maintenance payments and include: replacement of switches; upgrades of signal equipment; extended track surfacing; and other track infrastructure upgrades. The benefits of these investments include: elimination of slow orders; reduced interference/delays from unscheduled maintenance from track crews; and improved ride quality. The UPRR dispatchers will have an expanded ability to manage and control train movements along the route, producing a more fluid railroad operation and improved service reliability.

This capital work, if funded with the cost savings, would allow CCJPA to continue the current track improvement/capitalized maintenance program which is nearly depleted of capital funding and will allow CCJPA to maintain the above 90% on-time-performance which has maintained ridership and revenue levels and high customer satisfaction during an economic downturn.

2. The remaining $1.0 million will be provided to Caltrans Rail for its discretion for use on the San Joaquin and/or Pacific Surfliner intercity passenger trains.

Cost Savings from the Emeryville Track Project: The CCJPA was awarded a $10 million grant in State Proposition 1B Intercity Rail Account funding to complete the Emeryville Track Project. Based on the completion of the project (on June 6, 2010), the CCJPA anticipates at least $5 million in remaining unexpended Prop 1B Intercity Rail Account funds will be available after final invoices are received. While reinvestment of these funds requires approval from the California Transportation Commission (CTC), in consultation with the CCJPA Staff Coordinating Group (SCG), and Caltrans Rail staff, the CCJPA would like to reinvest these remaining funds to implement an on-train wireless network system for the Northern California Intercity Passenger Rail fleet assigned to the Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin trains.

ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 14 The CCJPA has been pursuing a wireless network system for some time and been involved in extensive testing, evaluation of business models, and even released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in May 2009. While responses to the RFQ and a final means of procurement were being evaluated, the CCJPA became aware that Amtrak was about to pursue a national procurement process. To ensure a consistent national wireless network standard platform, Amtrak has welcomed CCJPA’s assistance in going through the national procurement process which is now in its final phases. The ability to work under a task order through Amtrak’s national wireless network program will coincide when the final billing for the Emeryville Track Project should be completed in Fall 2010. At that point, presuming CTC approves the reprogramming of the Emeryville Track Project cost savings, the CCJPA would enter into a contract with Amtrak and, in turn, Amtrak’s selected vendor would begin the process of configuring and installing a wireless network on the Northern California Fleet. This wireless network would also ensure that the San Joaquins are also equipped with the same wireless network service. A complete installation will take upwards of seven months due to the maintenance cycles and availability of the fleet for installation. The wireless network will serve as a platform for not only implementing passenger internet access but also for future operational applications which will utilize the communications network.

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the transfer of cost savings from: (1) the Bahia-Benicia Crossover project to continue a program of track improvements along the Capitol Corridor route; and (2) the Emeryville Track Project to implement a wireless network on the Northern California Intercity Passenger Rail fleet assigned to the Capitol Corridor trains (which includes the same fleet as the San Joaquin trains).

Motion: The CCJPB adopts the two attached resolutions.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: June 9, 2010

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger

SUBJECT: CCJPA FY 10-11 GENERAL ADVERTISING CONTRACT

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to authorize staff to enter into the necessary agreements to develop and implement the Capitol Corridor advertising program for FY 10-11 (July 2010 – June 2011).

BACKGROUND As part of its marketing program for FY 10-11, the CCJPA plans to retain the services of advertising and marketing agencies to support the CCJPA’s FY 10-11 marketing plan. In the past, CCJPA retained an advertising agency to assist with specific campaigns such as these, as well as general market advertising to reach a wider audience. For current fiscal year (FY 09-10) CCJPA engaged in a competitive bid process and retained an advertising agency for support of the Kids Ride Free on Weekends and Seniors Ride Half-Off Midweek campaigns.

For FY 10-11, staff is seeking authorization to get a head start on securing a general advertising contract. Staff will only enter into a contract once the FY 10-11 state budget has been enacted and an allocation funding letter has been transmitted to the CCJPA. To that end, staff intends to maximize cost efficiencies and workflow production and will retain an advertising agency to develop new creative and lead campaign efforts for general market advertising during the summer months prior to the September 15, 2010 CCJPA Board meeting. This pre- approved spending authorization will allow the CCJPA to continue its advertising and marketing promotions during the busy summer months. The budget is expected to be a maximum of $500,000 which will include full advertising agency services such as creative development, media recommendations and purchasing, and campaign oversight.

Upon authorization by the CCJPA Board, the plan is to have staff draft a Request for Proposal (RFP) and seek out competitive bids for the work. A contract with the selected vendor will only occur once the CCJPA has received a FY 10-11 State funding allocation from Business, Transportation and Housing Agency (BT&H).

Because the budget for the FY 10-11 Advertising contract exceeds $100,000, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the CCJPA, staff seeks authorization from the CCJPA Board to proceed.

As usual, staff will provide periodic updates on the FY 10-11 marketing program (including promotions, campaigns, public informational items, et al).

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the CCJPA Board authorize staff to proceed with a Request for Proposals for advertising services for an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 to support the Capitol Corridor’s FY 10-11 Advertising program, and to enter into any related agreements for advertising activities to support the program, subject to the allocation of State funds to support the CCJPA FY 10-11 budget.

Motion: The CCJPA Board adopts the attached resolution.

SUBJECT: SAN FRANCISCO FERRY BUILDING SECURITY CAMERA PROJECT

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to authorize funding and related agreements with Amtrak to install security cameras at the Ferry Building Bus Station located in San Francisco.

BACKGROUND In an effort to improve the safety and security for our passengers, the CCJPA, working with Amtrak, has identified the need to install a video surveillance system at the San Francisco Ferry Building Bus Station. The surveillance system will provide station agents the ability to monitor the surrounding areas for safety and can also show them when buses are arriving or departing without the agent leaving the counter.

The surveillance system will consist of several cameras using a wired solution (T1, DSL) to deliver digital images to an onsite digital video recorder (DVR). If an incident were to occur, digital video footage of the incident would be available to review both onsite as well as via remote access, and if necessary, physically retrieved from the DVR. It is anticipated that within two years time, these digital images will be fed directly (in real time) to equipment and personnel at a Security Operations Center (at a located to be determined).

CCJPA’s funding commitment for this project is $150,000, which is available via FY08 Prop1B Transit Safety/Security Funds provided through the California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA).

CCJPA can fund this project directly through Amtrak, which currently has an open contract with a system integrator installing surveillance equipment at other Amtrak-staffed stations along the San Joaquin Corridor. Once funding authorization has been provided to Amtrak, project completion can occur within a 6-9 month timeframe.

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or her designee enter into agreements with Amtrak to install video surveillance equipment at the San Francisco Ferry Building Station for an amount not-to-exceed $150,000.

Motion: The CCJPB adopts the attached resolution.

SUBJECT: SECURITY LIGHTING FOR MARTINEZ STATION OVERFLOW CITY PARKING LOTS

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to authorize funding and secure agreements with the City of Martinez to provide security lighting and related upgrades at City-owned parking lots that will be used by passengers accessing the Martinez Station.

BACKGROUND CCJPA staff is currently working with the City of Martinez (“the City”) to secure overflow parking for patrons at Martinez Station. Parking at Martinez Station is often challenging for patrons as the regular lot quickly fills to capacity by 7AM on most days. Patrons are often required to find parking at risk to personal safety and private property alike. The nearest available parking is the East Bay Parks District lot, which is not adequately lit, nor patrolled. In addition, any patrons not able to retrieve their vehicles prior to 10PM nightly are subject to citation and vehicle removal by the East Bay Parks District that wishes to discourage loitering on park property after hours.

The City of Martinez has several surface parking lots that are currently available to the Martinez public for general use parking. The City has identified two (2) parking lots adjacent to the Regional Parks: bocce facility and baseball diamond areas. These lots are within 1000 feet of Martinez Station and comprise a total of forty-five (45) spaces, with adequate walkways connecting parking areas with the train station. In addition, patrons will be able to park overnight without risk of citation or vehicle removal, and the Martinez Police Department will patrol the areas regularly.

CCJPA has secured $100,000 in FY08 Proposition 1B Transit Safety/Security Funds allocated by the California Emergency Management Agency (“CalEMA”) and will assist the City of Martinez in the installation of lighting and pavement striping and related upgrades at these two City-owned parking lots. CCJPA will also work with Amtrak to install adequate signage directing patrons both to and from the overflow parking locations.

Upon receiving authorization and approval to enter into contracts with the City of Martinez, it is anticipated that all work can be completed within a six-month (6) timeframe.

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or her designee to enter into agreements with the City of Martinez for an amount not-to-exceed $100,000 to install security lighting and related upgrades at City-owned overflow parking lots for use by passengers accessing the Martinez Station.

SUBJECT: SECURITY FENCING FOR THE OAKLAND-JACK LONDON SQUARE STATION

PURPOSE For the CCJPA Board to authorize funding and related agreements to implement fencing and other security improvement measures at or around the Oakland-Jack London Square Station.

BACKGROUND A working group has been established consisting of CCJPA staff, Amtrak, the Port/City of Oakland, Union Pacific Railroad, and Caltrans Rail to improve safety and security for patrons using the Oakland- Jack London Square (JLS) Station. Currently a cyclone fence (approximately 1700 feet in length) runs along the Embarcadero West opposite the Jack London Station in Oakland and is continually in disrepair. Upon replacement and repair, it has been repeatedly damaged. This damage to the fence has occurred over the years, and in several areas the fence is currently missing sections or laid flat on the ground. Trespassers routinely enter the railroad right of way where the fence has been compromised, crossing live tracks to access the platform or train station and areas of business or residence on the other (east) side of the JLS Station. This constitutes a significant public safety issue and action is required immediately to maintain safety and security at Jack London Station and to avoid disruptions to train (passenger and freight) service from such trespassing actions.

As part of the working group’s duties, the CCJPA has secured $250,000 in available FY08 and FY09 Proposition 1B Transit Safety/Security funds provided through the California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) to finance security improvements at the JLS Station, including the installation of more durable, hardened security fencing. In addition, surveillance equipment will be installed on the platform and the overhead walkway adjacent to the station so as to monitor any vehicle intrusion or trespasser activity along the railroad right of way.

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the CCJPA Executive Director or her designee to enter into agreements to install implement fencing and other security improvement measures at or around the Oakland-Jack London Square Station for an amount not-to-exceed $250,000.

SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE MATTERS

PURPOSE To provide the CCJPA Board with an overview of the proposed legislative matters affecting Capitol Corridor Service.

BACKGROUND Legislative Matters

State Legislative Matters Gas Tax Swap and FY 2010-11 Budget May Revise On March 22, 2010 the Governor signed three interrelated bills (ABx8 6, ABx8 9, and SB 70), which included the Assembly’s plan to retain the current diesel sales tax rate (4.75%) and increase it by 1.75% for a new rate of 6.50%. These enhanced diesel sales tax revenues would be deposited into the Public Transportation Account (PTA) and provide a steady stream of funds to local transit agencies and fully- fund the annual costs for the Capitol Corridor and other state Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) services starting in FY 2012-13 (operations, staffing, marketing, and equipment renovations). This enacted legislation will provide the CA IPR Program with operating funds for existing service levels plus planned service expansions. Capital funding for the CA IPR Program from the state will be provided from prior voter-approved propositions (1A-High Speed Rail and 1B-Infrastructure) plus limited annual programming from a reduced State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) due to the enactment of gas tax swap legislative package. Just as importantly, now California meets the key mandates for the FRA's FY2010 and future capital grants: (1) a commitment of state operating funds to support any current or future IPR services and (2) at least a 20% non-federal match via state funds from propositions 1A and 1B and/or the STIP.

On May 14, 2010, the Governor released his May Revision to the 2010-11 State Budget with an estimated budget gap of $19.1 billion, comprised of current year/FY 09-10 shortfall of $7.7 billion plus a budget year/FY 10-11 shortfall of $10.2 billion and a modest reserve of $1.2 billion. With respect to the State’s IPR operations, a $129 million appropriation is expected from the built-up balance in the PTA for FY 10- 11. (A similar amount of operating funds is expected for the CA IPR Program in FY 11-12.)

NOTE: Beginning in FY 12-13, 25% of the revenues from the expanded diesel sales tax in the PTA will be appropriated to the CA IPR Program as well as other traditional PTA expenditures (CPUC, CTC, ITS). Non-Article XIX funds which are derived from the sale of documents and miscellaneous services to the public were also dedicated to the IPR to ensure full funding. The May Revise proposes to transfer the $72.2 million of Non-Article XIX funds that have materialized for FY 10-11 from the Motor Vehicle Account to the General Fund. This should not have an impact on the IPR in the FY 10-11 budget year.

ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 28 SB 409 (Ducheny) – Department of Railroads [CCJPA POSITION- SUPPORT] This bill as amended will require the High Speed Rail Authority to prepare a 5-year Strategic Rail Connectivity Plan, which will identify improved linkages within the passenger rail system. The first plan will be submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by September 1, 2011 and every 5 years afterwards.

CCJPA sent a letter to the author seeking amendments to make the Connectivity Plan an element of the state's comprehensive transportation planning and programming process, known as the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The letter requests that the term of the connectivity plan be maintained at 5 years but that it should be updated every 2 years to be synchronized with the STIP, which will then be incorporated into the State’s Rail Plan. The author has not responded directly to the CCJPA regarding this letter. Status: Amended in Senate on January 26, 2010.

Federal Legislation FFY2011 Appropriations A joint letter from the California Intercity Passenger Rail Agencies was sent to the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee requesting funding levels in the upcoming federal year (FY2011) for various high speed and intercity passenger rail (HSIPR) efforts. Noteworthy were the following requests: at a minimum match the $2.5 billion set forth in the FY2010 appropriations for the FRA’s HSIPR capital grants program; expand on the $50 million FY2010 appropriation for the Positive Train Control (PTC) with a request of $100 million; support for an Amtrak FY2011 appropriation of $2.2 billion; and build upon the $2 million in FY2010 for the next generation intercity passenger rail equipment effort with $1 million for FY2011.

Amtrak Board Nominations There have been no hearings in the Senate to take up the current White House nominations to fill three of the four vacancies on the 9-member Amtrak Board (Jeffrey R. Moreland of Texas, Anthony R. Coscia of New Jersey, and Albert DiClemente of Delaware). These current 5 Amtrak Board members plus these nominees all have one commonality – none of them are from California, home to 20% of all Amtrak passengers. CCJPA staff is working with other California IPR agencies to see what can be done to fill this last vacancy with an individual from California who has experience in passenger rail service.

American Power Act and Surface Transportation Reauthorization Om May 12, 2010, Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) released their long- awaited climate change and energy draft legislation, “the American Power Act” (APA). The discussion draft was released without the endorsement of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the third member of their collaborative effort to develop a bipartisan climate bill. A significant portion of the revenue generated from the APA would come directly from fees imposed on the production of motor fuels. These fees would likely be passed onto consumers at the gas pump, having the same impact on fuel prices as an increase in the motor fuels user fee, or gas tax. The APA bill will accrue a minimum of $19.5 billion annually from these fees, of which only $6.25 billion would be invested in transportation. This means only 23% of revenue generated from pollution fees on gasoline and diesel would be directed towards transportation investments – not an equitable and fair distribution of fees collected from transportation users. Such fees today are deposited directly into the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) for highway and transit investments. APTA and other transportation organizations are advocating that 100% of revenue generated from new fees on motor fuels in the bill should be returned to the transportation sector and invested under a multi-year authorization bill. To read the coalition’s letter, click here.

Specifically, the legislation provides for the following: • One-third of emissions allowances capped at $2.5 billion per year will be deposited into the Highway Trust Fund (HTF). ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 29 • One-third of emissions allowances capped at $1.875 billion per year will be distributed by the Secretary of Transportation for competitive grant funding to continue the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). • One-third of emissions allowances capped at $1.875 billion per year will be distributed by the Secretary of Transportation for state and local investments in transportation greenhouse gas emission reduction programs. • Requires states and cities to evaluate carbon pollution and set reduction targets when developing transportation plans.

The amounts allocated for surface transportation are far short of the levels that would be required to finance a new authorization bill, and represent a small percentage of the actual revenues derived from the production of motor fuels. In addition, the $2.5 billion annual allocation to the HTF is not enough money to keep either the Highway or Mass Transit Accounts solvent, nor does the bill contain any language regarding transit formula dollars.

The controversy surrounding the APA bill has pushed Congressman Oberstar’s (Chair of House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee) proposal for authorizing the next surface transportation funding even farther back. Of particular importance is the committee’s recommendation of $50B in capital grants for high speed and intercity passenger trains.

RECOMMENDATION The SCG recommends that the CCJPA Board authorize the CCJPA Executive Director to submit a letter(s) of support or opposition for actions relating to the proposed legislative matters affecting Capitol Corridor Service, including modifications as provided by the CCJPA Board.

ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 30 Item V1.9 CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY ______

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: June 9, 2010

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger Executive Director, CCJPA

SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF CAPITOL CORRIDOR TRAINS TO SALINAS [TRANSPORTATION AGENCY OF MONTEREY COUNTY PROPOSAL]

PURPOSE To provide the CCJPA Board with an overview and update on discussions with the Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC) proposal to extend Capitol Corridor trains to Salinas.

BACKGROUND As part of their efforts to provide a transportation alternative for its residents traveling to the Silicon Valley and beyond, TAMC has been evaluating the extension of Caltrain service from Gilroy to Salinas for business travelers going to the Silicon Valley. Due to capacity constraints at Caltrain, TAMC has approached CCJPA staff to see if we are interested in extending the Capitol Corridor trains from San Jose to Salinas.

At the direction of the CCJPA Board at its February 17, 2010 meeting, staff met TAMC to get a better understanding of their plans to expand Capitol Corridor train service to /from Salinas, located 67 miles south of San Jose. Items discussed included institutional authority, operating and rolling stock requirements as well as funding challenges and opportunities. Provided below is a brief summary of the meeting and subsequent developments.

Proposed Service Plan The proposal would be to operate from two or three trains from Salinas in the morning to San Jose and points beyond to Sacramento with return service in the late afternoon and evenings with the trains laying over night at Salinas. In addition, there could be Capitol Corridor trains serving mid-day hours and weekend service. In addition to stopping at the San Jose-Diridon Station, new stations would be available at Castroville and Watsonville. Capitol Corridor service would be introduced to Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and Tamien (Caltrain/VTA LRT) stations. TAMC, as the project sponsor, has completed a draft state Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and is preparing a draft Environmental Impact Statement to meet federal funding requirements for this project.

One of the requirements for TAMC is to secure the additional trainsets (locomotives and passenger rail cars) that will be required to initiate the service to Salinas and would include the storage space for these added trainsets in Salinas.

TAMC presented a series potential station design drawings for this service at which point CCJPA staff provided the CCJPA station criteria and requirements (such as grade-separated “island” center platform, ticket vending machines, security cameras, electronic message signs) in order for Capitol Corridor trains to serve these proposed stations.

ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 31

Agency Coordination Amtrak, as the contract operator for the Capitol Corridor trains, will be invited to participate at future meetings to assist in developing train schedules, service development/operating plans, ridership/revenue/operating cost estimates. CCJPA and TAMC staff will also need to coordinate the planning for this extension with Caltrain, VTA, Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST), Caltrans Rail, and other agencies.

TAMC, as project sponsor, will be responsible for identifying the necessary track infrastructure improvements with the track owners, Caltrain and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). The CCJPA will be a member of the project team to support the TAMC in its discussions.

Funding and Institutional Arrangements There is wide range of opportunities and challenges in identifying the funding sources and governance of the Capitol Corridor extension to Salinas. As Capitol Corridor trains, these Salinas trains would be part of the state’s intercity passenger (IPR) network and Caltrans Division of Rail would need to be included in any financing discussions. The feasibility of securing Public Transportation Account (PTA) and State Transportation Improvement Program – Interregional Improvement Program (STIP-IIP) would need to be examined to finance the Salinas train operating (incremental) expenses and capital investments.

The policy oversight and governance of these extended Capitol Corridor trains would need to be evaluated. These trains would extend into Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, which are beyond the current legislative jurisdiction of the CCJPA Board.

CCJPA Board Discussion As can be seen, these discussions are only in the initial stages and there is plenty of work before TAMC and the CCJPA if the parties agree to pursue an extension of Capitol Corridor train service to/from Salinas. To that end, staff is seeking questions or direction from the CCJPA Board on this item.

It should be noted that staff was involved in a similar effort five years ago to evaluate the extension of Capitol Corridor trains to/from Reno. This study did not progress forward for two primary reasons: (1) the UPRR could not accommodate any additional passenger trains over the Donner Pass; and (2) the CCJPA Board wanted to have another agency rather than the CCJPA be the project sponsor so as not to divert CCJPA staff resources from implementing the service objectives between Auburn and San Jose pursuant to the CCJPA Board’s Vision Plan.

RECOMMENDATION For discussion.

ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 34 Item VI.12 CAPITOL CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY ______

MEMORANDUM

TO: Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board DATE: June 9, 2010

FROM: Dorothy W. Dugger Executive Director, CCJPA

SUBJECT: WORK IN PROGRESS (June 16, 2010 Meeting)

PURPOSE To provide an update on work in progress up to the June 16, 2010 Meeting CCJPA Board meeting.

BACKGROUND The following is a report on work efforts currently underway: a. Proposition 1A (California High Speed Train System) Connectivity Projects. When Proposition 1A (California High Speed Train Bond Act) passed in November 2008 it included dedicated funding for, among other things, the State’s Intercity Rail Program (IPR) with a focus on connectivity with future California High Speed Train (HST) service. Of this dedicated program, $47.5 million was allocated on a non-competitive basis to each of the three State’s IPR corridors with a remaining $47.5 million was up for competitive allocation to the three IPR corridors. CCJPA staff working with the SCG and Caltrans Rail staff developed a program of projects for these Prop 1A funds, which was adopted by the CCJPA Board at its February 17, 2010 meeting in Resolution 10-4. The CCJPA’s program of Prop 1A projects submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) included: Oakland to San Jose Track Improvement Phase 2 Program utilizing the non-competitive $47.5 million which will serve as important matching funding for upcoming FRA FY 2010 HSIPR grant programs (see the following agenda item). Sacramento to Roseville Third Main Track project utilizing the $15.8 million in competitive IPR corridor funding.

At its May 19, 2010 meeting, the CTC adopted the CCJPA’s program of projects under the Prop 1A HST bond funds. b. FY 2010 Federal Railroad Administration High Speed/Intercity Passenger Rail Applications. It is anticipated that in early June 2010 that the FRA will announce the details on the release of a $2.2 billion in HSIPR capital grants designed for High Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail corridors. As of this writing, the CCJPA anticipates grant applications will be due to FRA in the early-July 2010 timeframe. Unlike the awarded HSIPR-ARRA funds discussed in item (a) above, these FY2010 capital funds will require at least a 20% non-federal match making California well-positioned to leverage the state’s Proposition 1A funds as well as past IPR expenditures by partner agencies. The subjects of the CCJPA’s will be service frequency expansions between Sacramento and Auburn (one additional round trip) and between Oakland and San Jose (four additional round trips). To that end, CCJPA is already preparing the necessary known materials to be an eligible recipient of these FY 2010 HSIPR funds. To meet the requirements of these applications, CCJPA is spearheading the following efforts: Preparation of an administrative draft of a Program Environmental Assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and provided it to the FRA for their review and comments prior to releasing a draft Program EA pursuant to NEPA requirements. Development, as assisted by Amtrak, a Service Development Plan (SDP) which outlines the detailed operating characteristics, including ridership, revenue, costs, and expenses and operating funding plan for the service expansion described above.

ccjpa_agenday100616.docx 35 c. Status of ARRA Federal Railroad Administration High Speed/Intercity Passenger Rail Awards. The Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) and its partners at the City of Sacramento and Caltrain have been granted a total of $29.2 million in federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) High Speed/Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) funding for three projects in Northern California to improve Capitol Corridor intercity passenger rail. These three projects have been placed on the FRA’s “fast track” list so the ARRA funds can be released as soon as possible.

1. $6.2 million was awarded to the Sacramento Rail Relocation Project (City of Sacramento) which will fill a funding gap and allow for the installation of a new passenger platform as part of the rail line relocation and intermodal station development program. Funding allocation from the FRA was on May 27, 2010. 2. $18 million to the San Jose Station South Terminal Project with Caltrain as the project sponsor. The station facility will be upgraded with added platforms and lead tracks into and out of the station, improving passenger access and reducing train access delays. Funding allocation is being finalized and funds should be released by mid-June 2010. 3. $5 million for the Yolo Causeway Crossover project with the CCJPA as project sponsor. Remaining tasks include: final design plans are being approved by the FRA; archeological survey report; and service outcomes agreement. d. Proposition 1B Transit Safety/Security Improvement Projects. The CCJPA has been advancing work on the following CCJPA security projects: - PIDS Sign Upgrades at Capitol Corridor Stations: Sign installation phase will be completed mid June 2010. The second phase (software upgrade) will be completed within the same timeframe. - Security Cameras at Capitol Corridor Stations: Design and Technical Specifications have been completed, Amtrak has received funding authorization from CCJPA to move forward with project; RFP will be prepared by Amtrak with a distribution anticipated for July 2010 timeframe. - Automated Ticketing Validation (ATV) Project: Evaluation period completed; full production roll out will occur between June and September 2010 with 6 to 12 devices being deployed on trains per month. Software updates to remedy revenue reconciliation requirements will occur via slipstream software update process. - CCJPA Wireless Network: see Agenda Item VI.2 e. Upcoming Marketing Activities. Service Alerts – launching new communication service to provide service updates via text and email subscription to subscribing passengers Spring/Summer Advertising & Promotions: o Kids Ride Free on Weekends – TV spots in production o Seniors Ride Half Off Midweek – mini-website and TV spots in production o June General Market Advertising: . KCRA.com presence . Radio Traffic Sponsorships in Sacramento, SF and San Jose Promotional Partnerships o Wicked the Musical – train wrap to be installed early June o Peter Pan the Show – presenting sponsor of Kids Ride Free, will be included on all marketing materials in exchange for exposure to Peter Pan customers Events/Public Relations: o Rider Appreciation Events scheduled for late June Fight Hunger One Stop at a Time – food drive for food banks along Capitol Corridor route.
