Bassett, Executive Director Item 4a YOLO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES September 9, 2013 Yolo County Transportation District Board Meeting 350 Industrial Way, Woodland, CA 95776 Agenda Item 1 – Call to Order/Roll Call/Pledge of Allegiance Chair Frerichs called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. He asked Gary Sandy to lead the assembly in the pledge of allegiance. The following representatives were in attendance: Davis Lucas Frerichs, (Primary) West Sacramento Oscar Villegas (Primary) Winters Harold Anderson (Primary) Woodland Williams Marble (Primary) Yolo County Mike McGowan (Primary) UC Davis Gary Sandy Staff present were: Terry Bassett, YCTD Executive Director, Janice Phillips, YCTD Deputy Director, Erik Reitz, YCTD Associate Transportation Planner, Sonia Cortes, YCTD Legal Counsel, Kwai Reitz, YCTD Finance Officer, and Sue Vannucci, Note taker. Also present were: Carmen Alba, Veolia Transportation; William Lowell, West Sacramento and Lacey Symons-Holtzen and Amy Martin, SACOG. Absent was Caltrans. Agenda Item 2 – Consider Approval of Agenda for the September 9, 2013 meeting. Minute Order No. 2013-26 Board Chair Frerichs asked if there were any changes to the agenda. There being none, the agenda for the September 9, 2013 meeting was approved on a motion by Director Villegas, and seconded by Director Marble. Roll call resulted in: AYES: Anderson, Frerichs, Marble, McGowan, Villegas NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Agenda Item 3 – Comments from the Public regarding items NOT on the Agenda, but within the purview of YCTD. William Lowell of West Sacramento said a stop on Poplar and West Capitol (east bound) had too many people using the bench at that stop for purposes other than boarding. Those individuals were waving on the drivers resulting in others waiting for the bus being missed. He requested more benches be installed, not just for bus stops but for citizens needing to sit while shopping. On Route 40-41, there was no eastbound stop between the Transit Center and Fifth Street. Mr. Lowell said if the bus was routed to Gateway, then turned left, Yolobus would provide better service at the Fifth Street route. He continued to be of the opinion that a route 40 bus stop at Sacramento Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard (on the Southeast corner, across from a shopping center) should be reinstated. Bassett reminded the board that there are no ADA complying bus stop improvements, including landing pad and sidewalk, at that location. 1 Agenda Item 4 – Consent Calendar Chair Frerichs removed the following item from the Consent Calendar for discussion: 4c. Adopt Resolution 2013-05, “A Resolution Approving the 2013 Update to the Yolo County Transportation Districts Title VI Program” Minute Order 2013-27 The following Consent Calendar items were approved on a motion by Director Anderson and seconded by Director Villegas: 4a. Approve YCTD Board Minutes for the meeting of August 12, 2013 4b.

Planner Reitz said this item was an update to the Title VI Plan as required by the Civil Rights Act and the Federal Transit Administration, Title 49, every three years. The new information form submission was complied with in the update and would allow the District to apply for a Federal Grant. Chair Frerichs said there was an attachment detailing composition of the YCTD Citizens’ Advisory Committee. It appeared there was a need for additional committee members and Chair Frerichs asked for clarification on areas of representation that should be included. He added that the report’s population figures were broken down by different backgrounds for the County as a whole and those percentages totaled more than 100%. Planner Reitz said when the survey was done, the District was allowed to mark more than one category. Mr. Reitz explained that the question of race was not asked and there could be individuals with a variety of racial backgrounds. Chair Frerichs asked if there are still have vacancies on the Citizens’ Advisory Committee. Mr. Bassett replied the Cities of Winters and West Sacramento were still unrepresented. Director Villegas said the City of West Sacramento would propose an appointee in the near future. Executive Director Bassett said at present the representative membership is 100% Caucasians. Minute Order 2013-28 - Adopt Resolution 2013-05, “A Resolution Approving the 2013 Update to the Yolo County Transportation Districts Title VI Program” Chair Frerichs moved and Director Marble seconded to adopt Resolution 2013-05, “A Resolution Approving the 2013 Update to the Yolo County Transportation Districts Title VI Program”.

    PAGES 4-5: A SACRAMENTO REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGY Volume 29 Number 1 May 2019 – August 2019 High-Speed Rail: Big Changes Afoot? By David Schonbrunn TRAC Vice President, Policy The Governor’s startlingly candid admission that “Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacra- mento to San Diego, let alone from San Francisco to LA” has triggered what could become a major reassessment of the State’s commitment to this project. Governor Newsom’s candor was a total break from eight years of uncompromising support by Jerry Brown for a project that still has no realistic long-term funding. The release of the California High- Speed Rail Authority’s (CHSRA) 2019 Project Update Report. and the Trump Administration’s cancellation of a $929 million grant to the project, when added to the Governor’s statement, combine to create a highly dynamic situation.

  • CHAPTER 3: Mobility M-3
    CHAPTER 3: Mobility M-3 3 MOBILITY This Chapter addresses existing transportation systems within the Policy Area, including: roadways, transit services, bicycle facilities, airports, waterways, and railways. Introduction Background Mobility and accessibility in the city of Sacramento is provided by a variety of facilities serving a variety of travel modes carrying people and goods. In the 1920 and 1930s, transportation planning within the city was largely focused on railroads. Sacramento was served by five railroad companies and was seen as favorable for rail travel and freight service due to its central location and proximity to the Sacramento River. With the popularity of cars, roadway travel became more common and the planning focus shifted to roadway construction and maintenance. By the 1950s, the city was facing congestion issues with two-thirds of the city’s roadways experiencing periods where demand exceeded capacity. The City’s 1952 Annual Transportation Report acknowledged “California’s traffic problem is serious today – it will be more critical tomorrow.” Roadway congestion continues to be a prominent transportation and planning issue within the city and Sacramento region. Although substantial growth has occurred in outlying areas in recent years, Downtown Sacramento continues to serve as a major employment center within the region, which necessitates travel to/from the Downtown. Congestion on freeways and major arterials in the City can cause drivers to divert onto neighborhood streets to avoid delays. The transportation system in the city of Sacramento, along with the existing physical and operational conditions, is described below. The system is presented in terms of: the local and regional roadways, transit services, bikeways, pedestrian facilities, aviation facilities, waterways, and railways.

Priority List of Capital Projects FY2012 – FY2016 IV. Fiscal Year Budget Funding Summary FY2012 V. Numeric List of Projects and Individual Pages VI. FY2012 and FY2013 Funding and Expenditure Summary Section I Introduction Sacramento Regional Transit District Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (FY 2012 – FY 2016) Section I: Introduction Overview The Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) represents the culmination of the District’s efforts to strategically plan and prioritize capital activities from FY 2012 to FY 2016. The projects in the CIP are consistent with RT’s adopted Vision, Strategic Plan, and with the region’s currently approved Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Plan (MTIP). The plan places an emphasis on ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, a “state of good repair” for the District’s current assets; completing transit expansion projects identified in Measure A Renewal; and providing for modest system enhancement/improvement projects – particularly projects that significantly enhance customer service or provide opportunities for greater system efficiency/revenue generation. In addition, this document provides early information for proposed projects beyond the five-year window. The CIP is intended to be a “living document”. On an annual basis, the plan will be reviewed, updated, and reissued in its entirety as one year drops and a new year is added. Projects were prioritized into five Tiers based on need and projected funding availability. Tiers include: Tier 0: These projects are fully funded. Tier I: These are high priority projects that are not fully funded.
