Susan Rohan Mike McKeever Chair Chief Executive Officer

Item #16-12-3 SACOG Board of Directors Consent

December 8, 2016

Approve Final Regional Active Transportation Program Funding Recommendation

Issue: How should SACOG invest Regional Active Transportation Program funds?

Recommendation: The Transportation Committee unanimously recommends that the SACOG Board: 1) approve the Regional Active Transportation Program (ATP) recommended funding and contingent project lists; 2) authorize the Chief Executive Officer to develop ATP transmittal documentation and submit the Program to the California Transportation Commission (CTC); and, 3) direct staff to prepare the required Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) amendments.

Committee Action/Discussion: In the revised State Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding recommendation released by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) on December 2nd, an additional project in the SACOG region is recommended for funding. Attachments A and E have been updated to remove the project from the contingent list and add it to the State ATP funding list, respectively. The Regional ATP funding recommendation for $7,031,000 in Attachment A is unaltered from what the Transportation Committee reviewed and recommended to the Board.

The third cycle of the ATP is now being administered by Caltrans and the CTC. Approximately $250 million—roughly two-thirds of the amount available in prior ATP Cycles—has been budgeted for Cycle 3 across the state for the two-year period of fiscal years (FYs) 2020 and 2021. Per statewide guidelines, the goals of the ATP are to:

• Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking; • Increase the safety and mobility of non-motorized users; • Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals as established pursuant to SB 375 (C728, §2008) and SB 391 (C585, §2009); • Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity, through the use of programs including but not limited to projects eligible for Safe Routes to School Program funding; • Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program; and, • Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.

All ATP funds are distributed competitively, with 50 percent of the funds channeled through a statewide competitive program, 10 percent through small urban and rural regions with populations of 200,000 or less, and the final 40 percent being distributed through metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in urban areas with populations greater than 200,000, such as the SACOG six-county region. CTC released a funding recommendation in October 2016 for SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

$131 million through the State ATP, including five projects in the SACOG region receiving $10,775,000 (Attachment E).

2017 Regional ATP Process As the MPO, SACOG is responsible for the selection and recommendation of over $7 million in ATP projects within the six-county region. The Regional ATP is implemented collaboratively between SACOG, the El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC), and Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA). Board engagement on development of the Regional ATP framework culminated in the approval of the Regional ATP framework (Attachment B) by the SACOG Board in May and the CTC in June 2016. A total of 30 applications were received in July through the Regional ATP call for projects, requesting over $55 million. Project sponsors submitted supplemental applications, in addition to their State ATP applications, to compete in the Regional ATP and provide information specific to the regional criteria. All 30 project applications were screened using the criteria identified in the Regional ATP Framework and determined to be eligible by SACOG, EDCTC, and PCTPA staff. The projects were then referred to the seven-member multidisciplinary Active Transportation Working Group (Attachment C) for evaluation according to their own process (Attachment D).

Regional ATP Funding Recommendation and Contingent Project List Four projects totaling $7,031,000 are recommended for Regional ATP funding (Attachment A). The final funding recommendation was developed using the preliminary ranked list shared with the SACOG Board in October 2016. SACOG, EDCTC, and PCTPA staff verified that the final funding recommendation complies with statewide ATP requirements that a minimum of $1.8 million (one quarter of the regional share) is recommended towards projects that benefit a disadvantaged community as defined by the statewide ATP guidelines. The final funding recommendation exceeds this minimum by including $4,581,000 benefitting disadvantaged communities. Upon Board approval, staff will work with sponsors of these top-ranked projects to ensure accurate programming of Regional ATP funds, minimize the need for funding allocation extensions through the CTC, and mitigate the risk of losing Regional ATP funds.

Similar to Cycles 1 and 2, a prioritized contingent project list is also included in conjunction with the recommended list in the event of delivery failure by any of the recommended projects. Projects awarded ATP funding must be ready to allocate funds within FY 2019-20 or FY 2020- 21. If a recommended project is unable to allocate the awarded funds within the timeframe identified by the CTC or to obtain an allocation extension, a project on the contingency list would receive ATP funds in its place. In this instance, the project that failed to meet its delivery timeline would forfeit their ATP funds and would have to compete again to receive funds from the ATP or any other funding source. Inclusion on the contingent list would not guarantee funding. The contingent list would be in effect only until the adoption of the next statewide program (anticipated in spring 2019). Consistent with the development of this recommended list and as a measure to utilize all available Regional ATP funding, staff would pull from the ranked contingent project list and would recommend partially funding projects, either for early phases of project development or for reduced-scope projects as voluntarily described in the regional applications.

In preparation for ATP Cycle 4, project sponsors will have the opportunity to discuss previously submitted and new proposed projects with SACOG staff to build strong applications for SACOG Board of Directors Page | 3

subsequent ATP funding rounds, and technical assistance will continue to be offered.

Programming Schedule The Regional Planning Partnership recommendation will go to the Transportation Committee on December 1; from there, the Transportation Committee recommendation will go to the SACOG Board for approval at its December 15 meeting. Following Board approval, staff will provide the CTC with approved funding recommendations by the January 27, 2017, deadline in anticipation of an adoption of MPO recommendations at the March 2017 CTC meeting. Projects in the SACOG region will then need to be amended into the MTIP, and project sponsors must be prepared to allocate ATP funds as programmed through the CTC process.

Regional ATP Evaluation Process

The Working Group was comprised of geographically diverse volunteers with expertise in land use planning, bicycle and pedestrian planning, project engineering, first-mile/last-mile access to transit, health and equity, and the impact of transportation infrastructure on greenhouse gas emissions, and was facilitated by a non-voting SACOG staff person.

The Working Group was charged with developing a preliminary ranked list of projects based on the Board-approved policy direction and the implementing scoring criteria. Each project was reviewed by all Working Group members and alternate, and discussed at meetings to establish strengths, weaknesses, and clarifying questions for the project sponsors. The facilitator emailed these questions to the project sponsors, compiled project sponsor responses, and distributed them to the Working Group for consideration in developing final project scores. Prior to submitting final scores, the Working Group had the opportunity to revisit all projects to share final impressions based on project sponsor responses.

The preliminary ranked list was developed using the average project scores, generated by gathering the final scores from each Working Group member, omitting the high and low scores for each project, and averaging the remaining scores. In the event that a Working Group member had a conflict of interest on a project and required a recusal, the Working Group alternate’s score was used instead. Projects with the same average project score were ranked according to which project had the higher average sub-score with the outliers removed for specific scoring criteria: first, the potential to increase walking and biking; second, the potential to reduce the number and/or rate of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and injuries; and third, the advancement of active transportation efforts to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Approve Tier 3 Loan to the City of Yuba City for 5th Street Bridge Project

Issue: Should SACOG apply the 2017 Delivery Plan Process to execute a Tier 3 Loan to the City of Yuba City for the Feather River Bridge at 5th Street project?

Recommendation: The Transportation Committee unanimously recommends that the Board approve a loan to the City of Yuba City for the Feather River Bridge at 5th Street project of $17,415,000 in Regional Surface Transportation Program funds to be repaid with $17,415,000 in State Transportation Improvement Program funds.

Committee Action/Discussion: Over the course of two funding rounds, the latest being the 2013 Regional Funding Program, SACOG programmed a total of $17,415,000 to the City of Yuba City for the Feather River Bridge at 5th St. The project would replace the two-lane 5th Street bridge that connects Yuba City to Marysville with a four-lane bridge. The project is one of two crossings on a 40-mile stretch of the Feather River and is located at the convergence of three state highways, State Routes 20, 70, and 99. The total project cost for the new bridge and approach work is $76,519,464, and the majority of the cost, $48,742,048, is funded by the state- managed federal Highway Bridge Program.

In October 2016, the SACOG Board approved the 2017 Delivery Plan Process, which authorizes SACOG staff to issue “Tier 3 loans” to project sponsors. Tier 3 loans are for unprogrammed projects or projects with STIP funds programmed in later years. Beginning May 1, 2017, SACOG may loan Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds to projects like the 5th Street Bridge. SACOG has a long history of making use of Tier 3 loans to deliver projects. Typically, SACOG staff would wait until spring 2017 to gauge delivery, receive all Tier 3 loan requests, and then decide on loans to make. Committing to a Tier 3 loan of this size this early is still within the policy but is unprecedented. Therefore, for full transparency, staff is returning to the Board for approval of the proposed loan.

The 5th Street Bridge is important to the region and there would be significant complications from a project completion delay. SACOG and Yuba City outlined the reasons why in a letter to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) (Attachment A). Unfortunately, the funding for this project was indeed delayed from state fiscal year 2017/18 to 2019/20 due to the “negative STIP” in 2016, the phenomenon in which the fund estimate for the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) was so low as to necessitate that regions in California delay or delete projects from the STIP.

SACOG, the City of Yuba City, the City of Marysville, and Sutter County met with CTC staff to discuss options for encumbering the STIP funding earlier than 2019/20. Unfortunately, the transportation funding situation at the state has not improved, and the CTC was unable to offer a suitable alternative solution. Alternative solutions included:

1. The City use its own funds and be paid back over the course of three years, beginning in SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

2019. However, the City could not afford to carry such a large amount for such a length of time. 2. The City annually request advancement, even though current CTC policy precludes the City receiving such an advancement. This approach has no guarantee, and CTC staff was not optimistic about the City’s odds for success. 3. Keep the status quo, and wait until August 2019.

Pros and Cons The Delivery Plan Process makes use of Tier 3 loans precisely when the reasons for doing so outweigh the reasons against. Reasons for this proposed loan include: • The project delivers on time and avoids the negative impacts of the project delay. • Increased delivery of Obligation Authority improves the odds of a higher amount of August Redistribution (free Obligation Authority) in 2017. • Increased delivery of RSTP apportionment helps bring down the RSTP apportionment balance, reducing the likelihood that SACOG may lose that apportionment in the upcoming 2020 federal rescission.

Reasons against the loan include: • Some sponsors may seek to deliver RSTP funds, only to find SACOG has run out of RSTP apportionment. SACOG ended FFY 2016 with an RSTP balance of approximately $4 million. This year we may run $10 million to $15 million short. • The next funding round will have $17,415,000 less of RSTP to program and $17,415,000 more of STIP to program. RSTP funding is generally more desirable.

Mitigation SACOG can mitigate the impacts from approving the loan. With regards to running out of RSTP apportionment, SACOG would pursue loans of RSTP apportionment from other regions not using theirs. This is a common best practice, as these loans are generally interest-free and would allow SACOG to deliver more projects earlier and further buttress against the upcoming rescission. Should SACOG not manage to borrow from other regions, sponsors could still authorize their RSTP projects using “advance construction,” a federal mechanism by which the sponsor is authorized to begin federally reimbursable work, and the obligation of federal funds is postponed until the following year.

In addition, SACOG pays back Tier 3 loans to itself as part of regional funding rounds. Projects that would receive STIP funds in the next round could therefore make use of Tier 3 loans should those projects be ready to deliver earlier than their programmed year. Given these mitigations, SACOG staff recommends approval of the proposed Tier 3 loan of $17,415,000 in RSTP to the City of Yuba City for the Feather River Bridge at 5th Street project. Attachment B shows this proposed change to the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Plan (MTIP) for the project.

Re: STIP funding & the 5th Street Bridge connecting Yuba City and Marysville

Dear Susan:

The 5th Street Bridge is an important project that is negatively impacted by the recent revisions to the STIP. A two year delay in the project’s allocation timing for the $17.4 million in programmed STIP funds may lead to costly implementation delays of a vitally important facility. As a regionally significant project, the 5th Street Bridge strongly supports the implementation of SACOG’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy. The 5th Street Bridge project will replace an existing two-lane bridge to better accommodate all transportation modes, including automobiles, transit, bicyclists, and pedestrians. As one of only two river crossings between the cities of Yuba City and Marysville, the 5th Street Bridge provides an important link in the core of the urbanized area where three state highways converge. The existing facility is a bottleneck for the thousands of vehicles that travel across it each day and it increases congestion on nearby roads. Replacing the current bridge with a new four-lane bridge will improve safety for all modes, relieve congestion, and reduce air pollution. Additional benefits to the bridge are summarized in the attachment to this letter. Currently, SACOG and local agency staff are exploring funding options that may protect the project delivery schedule for the 5th Street project. We respectfully request the support of CTC staff in options that may involve an allocation advance if the 2018 fund estimate allows it, or a priority programming year in the 2018 STIP. Sections 2.7 and 2.8 of the newly adopted STIP adoption resolution (G-16-19) suggest that the 5th Street Bridge would be eligible. We will contact your staff in the near future to discuss details. In the meantime, please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Mike McKeever Executive Director

Item # 16-12-5 SACOG Board of Directors Consent December 8, 2016

Approve Extension of the Spare The Air Transportation Control Measure in the 8- Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan

Issue: Should SACOG recommend the extension of Spare The Air as a Transportation Control Measure in the update of the regional 8-Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP) and maintain the existing funding level commitment?

Recommendation: The Transportation Committee unanimously recommends that the SACOG Board recommend: 1) extension of Spare The Air as a Transportation Control Measure in the update of the regional 8-Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP); and 2) setting aside funding to continue the existing 4-county pro-rata population share target of $600,000 per year for the years 2019 through 2024.

Committee Action/Discussion: The California Air Resources Board (CARB), in conjunction with the air districts in the Sacramento region, is in the process of developing a regional State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 75 parts per billion (ppb). The statutory deadline to attain the 2008 NAAQS is 2026. Based upon modeling done by CARB, the non-attainment portion of the SACOG region can attain the ozone standard earlier than the statutory deadline. Because the region is able to attain the 2008 ozone standard early, the attainment plan the air districts are jointly developing will rely on previous control measures. This means that no additional controls beyond what is currently implemented would be placed upon industry (stationary sources) or the transportation sector (mobile sources) as part of the regional SIP.

As part of the SIP development process, SACOG was required to conduct an analysis to identify any new reasonably available control measures (RACM). The findings of the analysis were presented to the committees in November, and Board action was taken on the determination that there were no new candidate measures that could individually or collectively advance attainment by one year.

The absence of new measures does not preclude considering the extension of existing Transportation Control Measures (TCMs). As a best practice, TCMs contained in SIPs identify final program/project implementation dates; in line with this practice all existing SACOG TCMs projects and programs will be considered fully implemented as of 2018. As a SIP best practice, including these timeframes allows regions and air districts to assess TCMs in light of changes in regulations, new technologies, and effectiveness. This is similar to evaluations currently underway on the rideshare program that is housed under SACOG’s Transportation Demand Management Program and the approach taken on Sacramento Emergency Clean Air & SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

Transportation Grant Program (SECAT), which has allowed the region to achieve emission reductions in advance of CARB 2014 Truck and Bus regulations being fully implemented.

The health standard for ozone has become more health-protective over time. The 8-hour standard has been revised from 84 ppb – the 1997 standard when SACOG's TCMs were last identified – to 75 ppb (2008 standard) for this current SIP development process. The next SIP update, which will happen in 2021, will continue this health-protective trend-line and drop to 70 ppb (2015 standard). The 2015 8-hour NAAQS of 70 ppb is the current standard, effective July 2016, and the next few years of data gathering at the regional air quality monitoring sites will be the basis for determining the next type of SIP that will be developed, as well as the next attainment date.

Noting the ability of the SIP for the 2008 standard to influence the parameters of the 2015 standard, SACOG staff in conjunction with Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) staff are recommending the extension of the Spare The Air Program as a TCM, since it directly targets the days and exceedances that will be the basis for determining the type and timing of the next SIP. The extension also demonstrates to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a regional commitment to targeting emission reductions from the transportation sector – the largest regional ozone emission source.

The current 6-county TCM commitment for Spare The Air, $600,000 per year for the years 2008 to 2018, has been fully implemented with Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding from SACOG, the El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC), and Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA). Matching funds for the program come from each air district’s DMV fees and/or Sacramento County’s Measure A.

If the SIP is adopted including the recommended Spare The Air TCM for the years 2019 through 2024, SACOG would commit a 4-county population pro-rata share of a total target of $600,000 per year. A separate funding action would be required by SACOG, EDCTC and PCTPA to actually program their pro-rata shares of the funding target, and SMAQMD would need to continue to provide local match.

The Spare The Air program was created to engage the general public in voluntarily helping to reduce ground-level ozone air pollution. With data based on annual surveys, coupled with comprehensive emission reductions methodology approved by CARB and the U.S. EPA, the Sacramento region’s Spare The Air program is successful in reducing ozone precursors. In 2015, 0.28 tons of ozone precursors per Spare The Air day were reduced by drivers who heard a request to reduce driving because of a Spare The Air alert and purposely reduced the number of trips they took for air quality reasons. In addition, 0.86 tons per day of ozone precursors were reduced by “seasonal reducers” who reduce the amount of driving they do during the summer to avoid adding to air pollution. The general public’s air quality awareness in the Sacramento region exists because the Spare The Air program has educated the public since 1995.

Larry Greene, Executive Director/Air Pollution Control Officer of SMAQMD, provided a presentation to both the Transportation and Land Use and Natural Resources committees on program highlights and future implementation details. Attachment A is a report on the program.

Executive Highlights: Evaluation of the 2015 Sacramento Region Spare The Air Campaign

METHODOLOGY: Spare The Air alerts are issued whenever the Air Quality Index (AQI) is forecast to reach or exceed 127 anywhere in the Sacramento region. Drivers are asked to voluntarily reduce the amount of driving they do on such days. Random samples of listed residents with landline telephones from four air districts representing five counties in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area were interviewed. A total of 1008 (470 when weighted proportionately) interviews were conducted following the five Spare The Air days in 2015. On non-Spare The Air (or Control) days 1004 (489 weighted) interviews were conducted on matched days of the week.

SUMMARY RESULTS: Summertime Seasonal Trip Reductions:

 Nearly one third (35%) of all respondents in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area are seasonal reducers – that is, they say they usually reduce the amount of driving they do during the summer to avoid adding to air pollution. This translates into nearly half a million (528,730) drivers in the area who are seasonal reducers. The level is not significantly different from the six-year average of 33%.

Year-To-Year Comparison of Percent of Respondents Who Seasonally Reduce Driving to Avoid Adding to Air Pollution: Sacramento Core Region

100% 80% 60% 40% 34% 34% 33% 32% 31% 35% 20% 0% 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

 Summertime driving reducers made fewer trips than those who did not change their driving habits during the summer: on average, they made .57 fewer trips per day.

 The number of trips avoided by summertime seasonal reducers translates into a reduction of 0.86 tons per day of ozone precursors during the summer of 2015. Although not considered part of the official measurement, these Spare The Air success stories continue to contribute to voluntary emission reductions during the summer months.

research \ insight \ success Page 1 Executive Highlights of the Spare The Air 2015 Campaign December 2015 Awareness:  For general awareness, an average of 36% of respondents in the entire Sacramento region had heard, read, or seen the Spare The Air advertisements. This translates to an estimated 543,837 drivers in the entire Nonattainment Area who were aware of Spare The Air in general.

 Significantly more respondents interviewed following Spare The Air days were aware of the program than were their Control day counterparts, once again indicating that the message is still getting through and being heard by residents.

Driving Reduction:

 One in five (20%) respondents in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area as a whole said they drove less on Spare The Air days.

 Using the strict ARB methodology, and after weighting, 2.8% of respondent drivers met the ARB standard of “purposeful reducer” -- they drove less on Spare The Air days because they heard the Spare The Air alerts and wanted to improve air quality in the region.

 The 2.8% percent of purposeful reducers in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area is a six year high, significantly higher than each previous year since 2010.

 In the Sacramento Nonattainment Area, a total of 126,876 trips were avoided by purposeful reducers each Spare The Air day in 2015 due to the campaign.

Estimated Emission Reductions:

 The 2015 Spare The Air voluntary driving reduction program was successful in reducing air pollution in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area by an estimated 0.28 tons of ozone precursors per Spare The Air day. This is due specifically to drivers who heard a request to reduce driving and purposefully reduced the number of trips they took on Spare The Air days for air quality reasons.

 This was also true in the Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD -- 0.28 tons of ozone precursors were reduced per Spare The Air day.

 Fourteen percent (18%) of households in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area reported breathing problems on Spare The Air days in 2015. However, 15% of households in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area reported breathing problems on Control days.

 Wildfire smoke may have influenced Controld day health concerns. As a result, few differences are found between Spare The Air and Control Day health effects.

 Reports of health concerns in each of the individual air districts are very similar to 2014. Consistent health concern rates from 2013 through 2015 suggest a greater sensitivity to air pollution than what respondents experienced in 2010 and 2011. Health effects were not surveyed in 2012.

Adopt Policy on U.S. Department of Transportation Requirement for Transit Representation in Metropolitan Planning Organization Structure

Issue: Should SACOG designate transit representatives on the SACOG Board to comply with federal guidance?

Recommendation: The Government Relations & Public Affairs Committee unanimously recommends that the Board adopt a policy to designate any Board member who also serves on a transit board as a transit representative for purposes of complying with federal guidance.

Committee Action/Discussion: The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) requires representation by providers of public transportation on the governing board for each metropolitan planning organization (MPO) that serves a transportation management area (TMA). In 2015, the successor to MAP-21, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation System (FAST Act), clarified that the requirement for transit representation could be satisfied by a member of the MPO governing board who also serves as a board member for a public transit agency.

This is the solution that SACOG and other California MPOs advocated for in 2014 when FTA proposed guidance that did not allow for this. Staff is pleased with this outcome, as the alternative would have required amending SACOG’s joint powers agreement.

Under SACOG’s Board structure, a minimum of five Board members also serve on the governing boards of transit providers in the region. This is due to the fact that of the 14 transit agencies in the region, five are governed by a city council or board of supervisors. Many SACOG Board members also typically serve on the boards of other transit operators. Staff recommends that the Board adopt a resolution annually designating those Board members who serve on public transit boards as transit representations for the purposes of complying with MAP-21.

Key Staff: Erik Johnson, Manager of Policy and Administration, (916) 340-6247 Matt Carpenter, Director of Transportation Services, (916) 340-6276 Item #16-12-7 SACOG Board of Directors Consent December 8, 2016

Adopt Memorandum of Understanding to Delegate Sacramento Emergency Clean Air Transportation Program Responsibilities from SACOG to Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District

Issue: To delegate the program responsibilities for the implementation of the Sacramento Emergency Clean Air Transportation (SECAT) Program from SACOG to the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD).

Recommendation: The Government Relations & Public Affairs Committee unanimously recommends that the Board adopt the proposed MOU attached and direct the Chief Executive Officer to execute the MOU, to begin implementation upon execution by both parties.

Committee Action/Discussion: Since 2000, the SECAT Program has successfully funded over 2,400 clean heavy-duty diesel vehicles in the Sacramento Federal Ozone Non-Attainment Area (SFNA). SECAT funding has totaled over $79 million while reducing about 2.9 tons per day NOx emissions. Many fleets across the region have benefitted from the SECAT Program, including single truck small businesses to large trucking fleets, with the majority of funding going to private-sector vehicle fleets.

The SECAT Program is currently implemented by the SMAQMD, with SACOG providing overall administration. The Program requires participants to meet certain usage requirements in exchange for receiving incentive funds and other terms and conditions mandated by CMAQ requirements. The Program is currently governed by the SECAT Program Guidelines adopted in October 2015 by the SACOG Board of Directors.

To streamline the administration of the program, SACOG is proposing to further delegate program responsibilities to the SMAQMD. In this new role, SMAQMD would have full contracting authority, fiscal control of CMAQ funding, and the ability to modify the SECAT guidelines in consultation with SACOG staff. SACOG will also allow the SMAQMD sole authority to amend past SECAT agreements as necessary to meet the programs emission reduction responsibilities.

The MOU will also establish a transition period in which SACOG will continue to contract and fund projects while CMAQ funding is reobligated to the SMAQMD to ensure a seamless process for applicants. SACOG will also commit to fund the SECAT program through the SMAQMD for both Phase 2 and Phase 3 as identified in the 2017-2020 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP).

Staff recommends that the Board of Directors approve the attached MOU and direct the CEO to execute it with the SMAQMD.

AMENDED AND RESTATED SACRAMENTO METROPOLITAN AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT SACRAMENTO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is made effective as of ______, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) by and between the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, a California local public agency (“SMAQMD” or “District”), and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, a California joint powers agency (“SACOG”), individually referred to as “party” and collectively as “parties.”

1.0 Recitals

1.1 Effective November 1, 2008, SACOG and the District entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Prior MOU”) concerning the SECAT Program (defined in Recital 1.3, below). SACOG and the District intend that this MOU shall supersede and replace the Prior MOU, as well as any other prior agreements or understandings between the parties concerning the SECAT Program.

1.2 The District is part of the federal Sacramento Ozone Nonattainment Area, as defined in Health and Safety Code § 44299.50 (“SFNA” or “Nonattainment Area”). Ozone is formed by the interaction of precursor pollutants, including Nitrogen Oxide (“NOx”). The majority of NOx in the Sacramento Nonattainment Area is generated by vehicles, including heavy- duty vehicles and engines.

1.3 In 2000, the California state Legislature established the Sacramento Emergency Clean Air and Transportation Program (“SECAT I”) to help the air districts within the Nonattainment Area comply with the federal standards. (Health and Safety Code § 44299.50, et seq.)

1.4 In 2008, SACOG received Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding for additional SECAT projects (“SECAT II”). SECAT I and SECAT II are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “SECAT Program.”

1.5 In order to successfully implement a coordinated air quality strategy for the Sacramento Ozone Nonattainment Area, the Legislature determined that the SECAT Program should be administered by SACOG, provided that SACOG may delegate the implementation of the Program to regional air districts, including SMAQMD. (Health and Safety Code § 44299.50, 44299.51.)

1.6 The SECAT Program offers financial incentives to the owners of heavy-duty vehicles and engines (“Participants”) to encourage them to shift to technology that reduces emission of ozone precursor pollutants.

11.21.16 Amended and Restated SECAT MOU 1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereafter set forth, SMAQMD and SACOG agree as follows:

2.0 Terms and Conditions

2.1 Delegation of SECAT II Responsibilities SACOG hereby delegates to the District, and the District hereby accepts, all responsibility for implementation of SECAT II within the SFNA, except for the Coordination Responsibilities, which shall remain SACOG’s responsibility. As used in this MOU, the term “Coordination Responsibilities” means SACOG’s responsibility under Health and Safety Code § 44299.53(c) to review and, if appropriate, approve the District’s SECAT Program Policies and Guidelines. SACOG’s reservation of the Coordination Responsibilities is necessary to ensure a coordinated air quality strategy for the SFNA. In addition to the Coordination Responsibilities, SACOG reserves its responsibility for SECAT I.

This delegation of SECAT II includes the ability to modify the performance requirements and terms and conditions of all SECAT Participant Agreements. Agreements that were executed by both SACOG and the District may be modified by the District as necessary to meet the program’s air quality emission reduction responsibilities without approval from SACOG; provided that the District will give SACOG prior written notice of any such modifications. Changes that affect the fiscal obligations of SECAT will still require approval from SACOG.

SACOG authorizes the District to amend SECAT Agreements that predate this agreement without obtaining the consent or advice of SACOG, and waives any right to require approval of any individual amendment; provided that the District will give SACOG prior written notice of any such modifications. The District will indemnify and defend SACOG from and against all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses of whatever nature (including, but not limited to, litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of the amendment of an Agreement where the amendment was executed pursuant to the authority granted under this provision of this MOU.

2.2 Approval of SECAT Program Policies and Guidelines At its meeting on October 29, 2015, the SACOG Board of Directors approved the District’s 2015 SECAT Program Policies and Guidelines. The District will send any future changes to its SECAT Program Policies and Guidelines to SACOG staff for review. No material changes to the SECAT Program Policies and Guidelines will be effective unless and until they are formally approved by the SACOG Board of Directors.

2.3 Term of MOU The term of this MOU will commence as of the Effective Date first above written and expire on December 31, 2026, unless previously terminated as provided for in this MOU or

2.4.1 Upon execution of this MOU, SACOG will coordinate with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to deobligate 50% of the unobligated SECAT II funding from SACOG, and will support the District’s application to Caltrans to reobligate these funds to the District.

2.4.2 SACOG will retain 50% of the unobligated SECAT II funding to fund new applications received during the reobligation process and will continue to execute agreements with the District and the SECAT II applicants using the standard contract template used at the time this MOU is executed.

2.4.3 Once the reobligation process is completed, the District will fund new applications without SACOG responsibilities as outlined in this MOU. At that time, SACOG will coordinate with Caltrans to deobligate all SECAT II funding not already obligated to SECAT II applicants and will support the District’s application to Caltrans to reobligate these funds to the District.

2.4.4 All agreements approved by SACOG prior to the deobligation of all SECAT funds will remain the responsibility of SACOG to reimburse according to the terms and conditions of each agreement.

2.4.5 Any SECAT II reimbursements will be processed by the District. Any SECAT I reimbursements will be forwarded to SACOG.

2.4.6 SACOG will retain SECAT II in its 2017-2020 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP).

2.5 Indemnification SMAQMD will indemnify and defend SACOG, its officers, agents and employees from and against all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses of whatever nature (including, but not limited to, litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of the performance of this MOU, but only in proportion to and to the extent such claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses are caused by, or result from, the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of SMAQMD, its officers, agents or employees.

District agrees to complete the SACOG DBE Information Form so that SACOG may compile statistics for Federal reporting purposes. The SACOG DBE Information Form is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. 11.21.16 Amended and Restated SECAT MOU 15

a. Non-Discrimination: District shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this MOU. District shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of United States Department of Transportation-assisted contracts. Failure by District to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this MOU, which may result in the termination of this MOU or such other remedy, as SACOG deems appropriate.

b. Prompt Payments to DBE and Non-DBE Subcontractors: District shall insert the following clauses in any contract funded under this MOU:

(1) Contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this MOU for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 30 days from the receipt of each payment Contractor receives from District. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above-referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of District. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontracts.

(2) Contractor agrees to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within 30 days after the subcontractor’s work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above-referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of District. Pursuant to 49 CFR Section 26.29, a subcontractor’s work will be deemed satisfactorily completed when all the tasks called for in the subcontract have been accomplished and documented as required by District agency. If District makes an incremental acceptance of a portion of the work hereunder, the work of a subcontractor covered by that acceptance will be deemed satisfactorily completed. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontracts.

In the event Contractor fails to promptly return retainage as specified above, District shall consider it a breach of the contract, which may result in the termination of the contract or other such remedy as District agency deems appropriate including, but not limited to, administrative sanctions or penalties, including the remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code.

(3) The foregoing requirements shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies otherwise available to Contractor or subcontractor in the event of a dispute involving late payment or non-payment to the Contractor or deficient subcontract performance or noncompliance by a subcontractor.

c. Records: District shall maintain records of all contracts and subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs and records of materials purchased from certified DBE suppliers. 11.21.16 Amended and Restated SECAT MOU 16

The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE contractor, subcontractor or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE contractor, subcontractor or vendor. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. Upon completion of the contract, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted to SACOG.

d. Termination of a DBE: In conformance with 49 CFR Section 26.53:

(1) District shall not permit its contractor to terminate a listed DBE subcontractor unless the contractor has received prior written authorization from District’s Project Manager. District’s Project Manager will authorize termination only if the Project Manager determines that the contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE subcontractor. As used in this Section, “good cause” includes those circumstances listed in 49 CFR Section 26.53(f)(3).

(2) Prior to requesting District’s authorization to terminate and/or substitute a DBE subcontractor, the contractor shall give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to District, of its intent to request termination and/or substitution, and the reason for the request. The DBE subcontractor shall have five (5) days to respond to the contractor’s notice and state the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why District should not approve the contractor’s action. District may, in instances of public necessity, approve a response period shorter than five (5) days.

(3) If a DBE subcontractor is terminated or fails to complete its work for any reason, the contractor shall be required to make good faith efforts to replace the original DBE subcontractor with another DBE.

e. DBE Certification and Decertification: If a DBE subcontractor is decertified during the life of the contract, the decertified subcontractor shall notify the District in writing with the date of decertification. If a subcontractor becomes a certified DBE during the life of the contract, the subcontractor shall notify the District in writing with the date of certification. The contractor shall then provide to SACOG’s Project Manager written documentation indicating the DBE’s existing certification status.

f. Noncompliance by District: District’s failure to comply with any requirement of this Section is a material breach of this MOU, which may result in the termination of this MOU or such other remedy as SACOG may deem appropriate.

g. Any contract entered into by District as a result of this MOU shall contain all of the provisions of this Section.

2.31 Non-Liability of SACOG: SACOG shall not be liable to District or any third party for any claim for loss of profits or consequential damages. Further, SACOG shall not be liable to 11.21.16 Amended and Restated SECAT MOU 17

Item #16-12-8 SACOG Board of Directors Consent December 8, 2016

Approve Contract with Portland State Urban Sustainability Accelerator and Activities to Accomplish Phase 2 of SB 743 Analysis

Issue: Should the SACOG CEO be authorized to negotiate and sign an amendment to the agreement with Portland State University’s Urban Sustainability Accelerator (USA) and to perform activities for the execution of the second phase of the Senate Bill 743 analysis?

Recommendation: The Land Use & Natural Resource Committee unanimously recommends that the Board authorize: 1) the SACOG CEO to negotiate and sign a contract amendment with USA; and 2) authorize SACOG to perform other SB 743 Analysis activities per the description below.

Committee Action/Discussion: The USA program of Portland State University has been providing technical assistance to SACOG and its member agencies for implementation of the Blueprint since January, 2015. The existing agreement with USA is for $252,000 in technical assistance funded through the Strategic Growth Council Round 3 (SGC 3) grant. USA has been providing services to many SACOG jurisdictions that requested technical assistance to implement Blueprint principles, including the cities of Winters, Colfax, Citrus Heights, Sacramento, Davis, Placerville, and the counties of El Dorado and Placer.

In addition, through this same technical assistance grant, USA has facilitated and coordinated a state-wide discussion with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), led by SACOG, on the implementation of SB 743. A group of the four largest MPOs, the State Office of Planning and Research, CalSTA, Caltrans, CALCOG and other entities, have been discussing how to transition project-level analysis of transportation impacts from a level of service (LOS) to vehicle miles travelled (VMT), which is a major shift. The first phase of this analysis is covered by the existing agreement between SACOG and USA utilizing SGC 3 funds. Phase 1 included four workshops with these key parties from around the state.

The second phase of the project, which will include a number of case studies comparing LOS with VMT analysis methods, would be paid for through a variety of funding sources. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and Caltrans have pledged $120,000 and $50,000 respectively for phase 2, with the funding to be managed by SACOG. It is possible that other cash pledges will come in. In addition, USA applied for and received a $125,000 grant from the Transit Center, a national non-profit organization promoting transit usage. SACOG would utilize an additional $50,000 of its remaining SGC 3 grant to pay for some of SACOG staff’s time. In addition, the other MPOs and State agencies have offered $218,515 of in-kind (non-cash) labor matches.

In sum, SACOG would manage the $170,000 from cash contributors and utilize $50,000 of SACOG’s SGC 3 grant for staff time, while USA provides its $125,000 match grant to the project. As such, staff is requesting the following authorizations: SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

(1) For SACOG to serve as contract administrator by collecting and managing all cash contributions from SCAG, Caltrans and any other contributing entities and oversee the disbursement of phase 2 funds.

(2) For SACOG to negotiate and sign an amendment to USA’s agreement with SACOG increasing USA’s budget by the $170,000 pledged from contributing partners.

(3) If additional contributed funds are provided by other parties to the phase 2 project, for SACOG to serve as the administrator of those funds and to directly negotiate and sign further agreements/amendments with USA or other contractors utilizing SACOG procurement policies.

(4) As part of its contribution, for SACOG to dedicate $50,000 in its remaining discretionary SGC 3 grants for SACOG staff labor in phase 2. SACOG would also provide soft-cost matching with SACOG labor to contribute to the project.

For background information, the draft scope of work that USA provided for the Transit Center Grant and a background summary provided to the Strategic Growth Council are attached.

California SB 743 Implementation Project Services provided by the Urban Sustainability Accelerator at Portland State University To Sacramento Area Council of Governments Spring 2016 – Winter 2017

Note: This version of the scope of work is written specifically for the Sustainable Growth Council’s Sustainable Planning Grant awarded in Cycle 3 to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). The SACOG SGC3 grant would fund only the specific activities as identified below; other activities would be paid by other fund sources.

Lead Organization: Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Consultant: Portland State University’s Urban Sustainability Accelerator (USA)

Relevance to SACOG SGC 3 Grant

SACOG’s SGC Sustainable Planning Grant Round 3 is titled “Accelerating Local Implementation of the Sacramento Region Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS)”. One of the three major activities of the grant is:

“to provide technical assistance to help SACOG member cities and counties implement the more compact growth pattern of the MTP/SCS and create more economically vital, health and livable communities by addressing policies and implementation barriers to revitalization and/or intensification….”

This proposed task addresses one of the key barriers to implementing compact growth – how transportation impacts are analyzed for infill development. SB 743 was enacted to address this through a different means of evaluation. However, around the state, regional and local governments are addressing this differently, and more case studies around the state need to be conducted to evaluate how to implement and address this new law. SACOG and its consultants are facilitating statewide discussions on how to do this, and performing case studies. The SGC 3 grant will help cities and counties in the region overcome these obstacles to revitalization.

Overall Project Purpose

The purpose of the project is to help SACOG, in association with peer agencies, to understand and implement a major change in California state policy guiding planning and environmental review of land use and transportation projects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

As directed by Senate Bill 743 the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has proposed a new rule and technical guidance shifting review under CEQA from maintaining an adequate supply of road capacity (the Level of Service “LOS” standard) to reducing demand for automobile travel (a Vehicle Miles Traveled “VMT” reduction standard). The changes are intended to create more economically vital,

1 healthy and livable communities by addressing policy and implementation barriers to revitalization and intensification of centers and corridors.

The project will focus on the application of the rule, technical guidance and mitigation opportunities drawn from peer-reviewed literature to case study areas outside of the “Transit Priority Areas.” Some of these areas are geographically in the SACOG region. (Others studied outside the region will be funded by other non-SACOG-awarded SGC 3 grant funds.

The goal of the project is to improve implementation of the groundbreaking California legislation in the SACOG region (in tandem with other regions) through several illustrative demonstration projects, including some in the SACOG region. The information developed as part of the project will provide a nationally important model for shifting the focus of transportation planning and investments from congestion mitigation to increased transportation choices and a broader array of community benefits.

This project, by retaining the new rule and facilitating the switch from LOS maintenance to VMT reduction, would result in an important outcome for SACOG and the state.

Overall Desired Outcomes

Desired outcomes include: 1. Detailed study reports for several demonstration projects, including specific recommended implementation approaches for each of six plans/projects to the EIR, local government regulation and, if relevant, the SIP. 2. Any refinements to the existing OPR draft technical advisory. 3. Sharing what has been learned with other parts of the country, through workshops, webinars, and conference presentations.

4. For the SACOG region specifically, addressing policy and implementation barriers to revitalization and intensification of centers and corridors.

Results will be used by SACOG and other participants, and the California State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to carry out next steps for integration of decision-making into OPR rule-making; and at the SACOG-level, analysis of project prioritization and evaluation of progress towards priorities that implement the SACOG Sustainable Communities Strategy.

Timeline

Phase I - April-September 2016 Funded in part through California Strategic Growth Council (CSGC) Grant to SACOG

Phase I begins with two workshops in May and June, led and facilitated by SACOG and its consultants in Sacramento with OPR, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), possibly representatives of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and San Diego Association of Governments and key

2 members of Portland State University’s (PSU’s) consulting team. A third workshop may be held in August.

Purposes of the workshop include: a) clear understanding by all parties of the intent and specific details of the OPR draft recommendations, b) identification of key peer-reviewed research underlying OPR’s proposal, c) identification of key research questions and analysis techniques for answering them, and d) generic typologies for six demonstration projects (including in the SACOG region) to conduct in Phase II. Phase I will also generate a detailed scope of work and budget, funding plan, and final list of core partners and stakeholders for Phase II and recruitment of the core partners. This Phase II scope of work will identify the technical questions to be answered and assigning tasks and costs to the participants.

Phase II - October 2016 – Summer 2017 Funding other than CSGC Grant

Based on the first phase, and dependent on additional funding, a second phase will be carried out using detailed case studies to verify the feasibility of OPR’s proposed metric, and to explore alternative methodologies, thresholds and mitigation measures by MPOs to inform updates to the draft technical advisory at a later time. The case studies will be selected for diversity of geography, and for a mix of land use and transportation projects. We anticipate there will be a wide range of scales of those projects (i.e., large-scale, public sector initiated land use plans and smaller-scale developer initiated plans, and transportation plans that have highway or surface street projects).

The demonstration projects will be sufficiently detailed to illustrate implementation in a variety of contexts. The final products will be used to build capacity among lead agencies in implementation. OPR may also use the final products, together with the results of other demonstration projects and other lessons learned from monitoring of early implementation, to further refine the technical recommendations in the draft technical advisory. Such information could be relevant in future updates to the CEQA Guidelines (Pub. Resources Code § 21083(f)). The final product should also inform local governments and other lead agencies regarding the appropriate role for local governments policies, standards, exactions, etc. for transportation impacts of the projects through their police power based regulatory authority.

Scope of Work – SB 743 Project (“From Driving More to Driving Less”)

Task 1: Case Study Selection. The project leadership team (“Leadership Team”; as designated in Appendix C – Budget) will select case studies from at least four California MPO regions. PSU Urban Sustainability Accelerator project staff and consultants (“Project Team”) will, in consultation with Leadership Team, compile sufficient information about each potential case study (existing conditions, illustrations, maps, study area definitions, etc.) to enable Leadership Team to select 4-6 cases for complete development in Task 2. Target completion date: January 15, 2017 Milestone: Written or bulleted summaries of all potential case studies, a list of 4-6 case studies chosen by Leadership Team to pursue in the Driving Less Project, and a short (e.g. one paragraph) narrative justification for the choice of those 4-6 case studies.

Task 2 (parts A and B): Case Studies. For the 4-6 case studies based on completed CEQA work, Project Team will collect detailed information such as: • Purpose and need statements • Methods used for measurement of LOS, including through traffic • Methods used for estimation of induced travel • Methods used for forecasting secondary/cumulative land use impacts of transportation projects • Study area definition, and methods used for its development

In addition, Project Team will undertake a variety of technical analyses to enable a comparison of findings from completed CEQA studies (where available) to the findings anticipated under SB 743. If a case study is selected for which CEQA work has not yet been undertaken, Project Team will conduct an analysis to learn what results might be anticipated under SB 743. Technical analyses include the following (which will be required in future CEQA work under SB 743):

• Forecasts of VMT and related metrics using existing regional travel models and/or simplified sketch models, as appropriate. Suitable study areas and other assumptions will be determined consistent with the proposed regulatory language from SB 743. • Land use impact assessments of transportation facilities, at a level of detail consistent with project resources. • Air quality analysis (criteria pollutants, GHG emissions). Project Team will also address technical topics that may influence the overall applicability, effectiveness, and ease of use of the new law. Example topics include determination of a suitable, project-level VMT threshold for review; standards and locations for exemptions; regulatory relationships to regional Sustainable Communities Strategies; and local and regional mitigation issues and opportunities. Target completion date (2A): July 1, 2017 Milestone (2A): Narrative summaries of the first 2-3 technical case study analyses Target completion date (2B): October 1, 2017 Milestone (2B): Narrative summaries of the final 2-3 technical case study analyses 1 Task 3 (parts A and B): Preparation of Findings. Through in-person meetings and virtual conferences, the Project and Leadership Teams will identify key findings from the set of case studies to inform the final version of the CEQA guidance and its use in future CEQA reviews. The findings will address a set of questions including:

• Do we understand and agree on how projects will be analyzed under the guidelines, and how that differs from current practice? If not, why not? • Will application of the guidelines promote reductions in GHG emissions, enhance transit and other modes of transportation, and encourage infill development as directed by SB 743? • What kinds of impacts were, or might be, facilitated by mitigation? • Will it be clear to “lead agencies” how to proceed? Will the analysis be easy or difficult to undertake? • What are the proposed revisions to the State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research’s (OPR’s) draft CEQA guidelines and technical advisory? • What are the benefits from the proposed revisions? • What are the proposed recommendations, if any, for further legal, technical, and other research? Target completion date (3A): October 1, 2017 Milestone (3A): Written report summarizing the first 2-3 case study findings Target completion date (3B): December 1, 2017 Milestone (3B): Written report summarizing the final 2-3 case study findings

Task 4: California Implementation Plan. The Leadership Team will use the results of Tasks 1-3 to expedite SB 743 implementation in California, through a comprehensive consideration by OPR of lessons learned from the case studies; adoption of the project’s analytic methods by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) as part of implementing CEQA; and compliance with CEQA guidelines by other designated “lead agencies.” The project will accelerate statewide implementation through a set of white papers and guidance documents, including but not limited to a set of resource reports on (1) local and regional VMT mitigation strategies, land use impact assessment methods, and relationships between land use, community design, VMT and GHG; and (2) refinements and supplements to guidance for CEQA analysts on such issues as study time frames, impact area definitions, and land use assumptions. Project Team will also draft a narrative summary of Driving Less Project findings. Lastly, Project Team will produce a work plan for relevant California agency stakeholders, with a list of additional actions to take as a result of the Driving Less Project findings. Target completion date: April 1, 2018 Milestone: White papers and technical guidance documents for California government stakeholders, narrative summary of Driving Less Project findings, and work plan for agency staff (including list of additional actions to take as a result of this study’s findings).

Task 5: Dissemination of Results. Project and Leadership Team will provide information to the media and offer opportunities for interviews. Materials will include web pages, presentations, fact sheets, recorded webinars, and journal articles. Project and Leadership Teams will report on the project at national conferences as well as through involved institutions’ websites, meetings, webinars and publications. 2

Within California Leadership Team will use Driving Less Project findings to further the following implementation actions: • A comprehensive consideration by OPR of lessons learned from the case studies. This will occur during OPR’s regular review of its CEQA guidelines (regulations), including any needed updates to the law’s technical guidance. • Adoption of the Driving Less Project’s analytic methods by California’s MPOs as part of the implementation of CEQA. • Compliance with the new CEQA guidelines by other designated “lead agencies” under CEQA. • A series of face-to-face and virtual conferences and training sessions throughout California, led and sponsored by OPR and/or the California MPOs participating in the Driving Less Project. Beyond California Outreach materials will include web pages, PowerPoint presentations, fact sheets, recorded webinars, journal articles, and relevant articles or blog posts.

PSU’s USA staff and project leadership team members will provide information to relevant media and industry publications and offer opportunities for interviews. The intent of initial reports and articles will be to generate interest in the results once they are available. Later media engagement will be intended to promote Driving Less Project results.

Project Team will seek opportunities to report on the Driving Less Project at meetings and conferences sponsored by target transportation and urban planning groups—including California agencies and organizations, federal agencies, professional associations, agency organizations (e.g. AASHTO, APTA, NARC), research organizations, non-profits, and media— as well as through their websites, webinars, and publications. Target completion date: April 1, 2018 Milestone: Summary of California and national media/industry engagement, including relevant presentations, articles, webinars, webpages, and fact sheets, as well as a narrative description of potential impact (e.g. any interest received from other governments and possible next steps).

Item #16-12-9 SACOG Board of Directors Consent

December 8, 2016

Approve Amendment #2 to the FY 2016/17 Overall Work Program and Budget

Issue: Should Amendment #2 be made to the Overall Work Program (OWP) and Budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17?

Recommendation: The Government Relations & Public Affairs Committee unanimously recommends that the Board approve Amendment #2 to the Overall Work Program (OWP) and Budget for Fiscal Year 2016/17.

Committee Action/Discussion: SACOG’s Overall Work Program (OWP) describes the continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated metropolitan planning process for the six-county Sacramento Region. The OWP includes annual agency revenues and expenditures, and is used by Caltrans, federal agencies, and others to track activities of SACOG, Caltrans, the El Dorado County Transportation Commission, and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency.

Amendments to the OWP are typical throughout the year to modify OWP projects, add new projects or revenue to the OWP, change project descriptions, or adjust staff and expenditures between OWP activities. Amendment #1 was made in August, 2016 to add a Congestion Management Process Element to the work program per a request from the Federal Highway Administration.

The primary purposes of Amendment #2 are to bring unspent fund balance from fiscal year 15/16 into the FY 16/17 budget, shift federal funds among a number of projects, add two new grant funded projects, and several other minor budget neutral modifications to streamline reimbursement of federal and state funding. Amendment #2 to the OWP and Budget will increase the FY16/17 budget by $607,000 made up of $225,000 in FY15/16 unspent fund balance, $132,000 in funding contributions from other agencies carried forward from last fiscal year, and $250,000 in new grant funding.

Attachment A summarizes the proposed OWP and budget changes included in Amendment #2. Attachment B includes descriptions of the two new projects. A summary of highlighted changes by major work element is as follows:

Element 100: Core and Long-Range Member, Agency, and Transportation Services and Planning Activities • Add $80,000 in TDA funds from SACOG’s FY 15/16 unspent fund balance to the Planning Tools project for the Open Data Portal. • Shift $75,000 to the Rural-Urban Connection Strategy project for H.T. Harvey & Associates to provide natural resource consulting services as approved by the Board at its November 17, 2016 meeting. Funding for this project will come from shifting $30,000 in federal funds from other accounts that will not need their full consultant budgets plus an additional $45,000 in TDA funds from SACOG’s FY 15/16 unspent fund balance. SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

• Shift $20,000 in TDA funding to the Regional Transportation Modeling and Analysis project for additional consultant help with the Transportation Project-Level Performance Evaluation. The funds for this change represent a budget neutral shift in TDA funds from other projects that are not expected to fully spend their FY 16/17 anticipated budget. • Various budget neutral shifts in federal, state, and local funding to accommodate expedited reimbursement of staff work.

Element 200: Discretionary Transportation Planning Grant Activities • Add a new $100,000 project to cover SACOG and Caltrans contributions to Portland State University for SB743 case studies. Includes $50,000 in State Planning and Research funds from Caltrans and $50,000 in TDA funds from SACOG’s FY 15/16 unspent fund balance. • Add a new $250,000 project for the Feasibility Study for Expanding Davis-Sacramento Rail funded through the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program administered by Caltrans. The total project cost is made up of $200,000 in state grant funding and $50,000 in TDA funds from SACOG’s FY 15/16 unspent fund balance.

Element 220: Other Planning Grant and Partnership Projects • Shift $65,000 in federal planning funds from other projects to the Urban Footprint project. This shift is budget neutral and will free up TDA funds currently allocated to this project. • Add the Sacramento County Short Range Transit Plan to allow SACOG to complete work not finished in FY 15/16. This project is reimbursed by Sacramento County Transit.

Element 302: Connect Card • Add $117,000 in Sacramento County TDA funds that were not spent in FY 15/16 to the Connect Card project for work to be completed in the current fiscal year.

With Board authorization, SACOG will submit the revised OWP to Caltrans and federal partners for final approval. These modifications will constitute Amendment #2 to the FY 2016/17 OWP.

FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR EXPANDING DAVIS-SACRAMENTO Project #200-XXX-XX RAIL SERVICE (Caltrans Planning Grant) This project is a feasibility study for adding short-haul service in the Sacramento-Davis rail corridor to augment Capitol Corridor service and respond to regional growth. The study will analyze needs for track and station improvements/additions; rail car, layover, storage, and maintenance needs; ridership projections; capital, operations and maintenance costs; potential funding and institutional/governance models. More frequent rail service between the Davis train depot, West Sacramento, and the downtown Sacramento Valley Station with its many transit connections, would reduce VMT, GHG emissions, and travel demand on Interstate 80 and the Yolo Causeway, and increase mobility and access to reach regional opportunities.

This work will be performed by SACOG staff and consultants.

Assess Potential Funding and Institutional Arrangements f. Develop Draft and Final Feasibility Study/Plan g. Quarterly Reports/Invoices (Quarterly)

SB743 CASE STUDIES Project 200-XXX-XX (Caltrans Planning Grant) This project will test new rules brought on by the passage of Senate Bill 743 regarding the use of vehicle miles traveled for CEQA analysis of transportation impacts. The California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has proposed a new rule as well as non-regulatory technical guidance, shifting the standard of review under CEQA from maintaining an adequate supply of road capacity in order to address congestion (the Level of Service “LOS” standard) to reducing demand for automobile travel (a Vehicle Miles Traveled “VMT” reduction standard).

Portland State University will conduct various case studies and travel behavior simulations, and possibly explore refinements to the language of California’s OPR guidance or regulations. The project aims to assist OPR in establishing procedures that will facilitate in-fill and mixed use development and implement the law throughout the state.

This work will be performed by consultants.

Item #16-12-10 SACOG Board of Directors Consent

December 8, 2016

Approve Amicus Support for the McKinley Village Project

Issue: Whether to file an amicus brief in the court of appeal case of East Sacramento Partnerships for a Livable City v. City of Sacramento, which reversed in part the trial court decision approving the McKinley Village Project in Sacramento.

Recommendation: The Government Relations & Public Affairs Committee unanimously recommends that the Board authorize staff to file an amicus brief in support of the City of Sacramento’s approval of the McKinley Village Project.

Committee Action/Discussion: The McKinley Project involves construction of a 328-unit residential development, along with a community recreation center and three parks, on an approximately 49-acre infill development site in East Sacramento. The City certified an environmental impact report (EIR) for the Project on April 29, 2014. In May, 2014, the East Sacramento Partnerships for a Livable City (ESPLC) filed a petition for writ of mandate alleging numerous violations of CEQA. The trial court denied the petition in its entirety, and ESPLC appealed.

On November 7, 2016, the Third Appellate District issued its decision in East Sacramento Partnership for a Livable City v. City of Sacramento 2016 Cal. App. LEXIS 963 (“Opinion”), reversing the trial court and invalidating the City’s approval of the Project. The court upheld the trial court ruling in favor of the City on all but one issue related to the City’s analysis of traffic impacts. Specifically, the Opinion held that the City’s reliance on its General Plan traffic mobility policy that allows for flexible application of level of service (LOS) standards in certain parts of the City did not alone establish that the Project would not result in significant impacts. In so doing, the court applied the “fair argument” standard of review, ignoring longstanding CEQA precedent for affording deference to an agency’s selection of significance thresholds.

On November 22, 2016, the City and Encore McKinley Village LLC (“McKinley”), the real party in interest in the proceeding, filed a petition for rehearing. Depending on the disposition of that request, SACOG would either support affirming the trial court approval of the Project or depublishing the Opinion in order to limit the impact of the decision on other local governments. In the event that the court of appeal does not grant rehearing, a request for depublication would be due no later than January 6, 2016.

The principal issue of concern in this case is the court of appeal’s conclusion that the City could not rely solely on its General Plan policies as significance thresholds. In reaching that decision, the court used language (i.e., “fairly argued”) indicating it was applying the standard of review that should only apply in the context of reviewing an agency’s decision to adopt a negative SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2 declaration instead of an EIR. In the context actually before the Court, where the City had prepared an EIR, the Court’s application of the “fair argument” standard instead of the “substantial evidence” standard was improper. The Opinion should be depublished to prevent this erroneous conclusion from being applied by other courts.

Approve Request for Proposals and Contract for Regional Growth Projections

Issue: Should SACOG issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for contractual support on the agency’s Regional Growth Projections project?

Recommendation: The Land Use & Natural Resources (LUNR) Committee unanimously recommends that the SACOG Board of Directors authorize the SACOG Chief Executive Officer to release an RFP for contractor support on the Regional Growth Projections project, and that the SACOG Board of Directors authorize the SACOG Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute a contract with the selected vendor.

Committee Action/Discussion: The regional growth projections are one of the first steps in the road to the 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS). The projections start with regional employment growth in the context of the national and state economic projections. The number of jobs leads to the population projections for the region. Finally, the dwelling unit projections are developed to accommodate the population growth. All of these projections are regional totals only at this point. The allocation to cities, counties, and communities is done throughout the MTP/SCS process.

During the October LUNR cycle staff briefed the committee on the framework of the regional growth projections update, including project schedule, topical areas and proposed partnerships. As in projection updates in prior plans, staff highlighted the need for contractual support to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the factors influencing regional employment, population and housing growth.

Staff has prepared a scope of work, included as Attachment A, that documents the various tasks needed from a contractor to conduct this full and comprehensive growth assessment. Staff requests authorization to release an RFP for this scope of work, and to convene a panel of internal experts to evaluate submissions, review qualifications, interview applicants, and select a vendor in accordance with SACOG’s standard procurement procedure. The total budget for this contractual work is up to $100,000 and spans two fiscal years. Half of that total is available in the current fiscal year’s work program; the remainder, less any rollover from the prior fiscal year, will be funded in the subsequent fiscal year. The final scope of work and total budget for this contract will be negotiated and executed by the SACOG Chief Executive Officer.

Attachment A Scope of Work

Budget: Not to exceed $100,000

Task 1. Extend horizon year of currently adopted projections

SACOG’s Board of Directors has adopted regional growth projections for employment, population and housing through the year 2036. Task 1 of this project will create region-wide employment, population and housing projections at five year intervals through 2050, drawing on the adopted projections as the primary reference point. Task 1 will begin with an employment projection based on U.S. and California job growth, followed by a population projection based on projected job growth and finally the household projections. This initial task is focused on updating and extending the adopted projections in the context of state and national growth. Subsequent tasks will refine these initial estimates based on the project’s investigation of the region’s competitive positioning in capturing a share of national and state projections, and other internal factors.

Task 2. Identify and explore trends and factors affecting Sacramento region’s competitive position

While the first task focused on larger state and national projections, this task delves into factors internal to the Sacramento region. In this second task the selected contractor will work with SACOG and regional partners in first identifying and then exploring trends and factors that could affect the Sacramento region’s ability to capture a share of national and state job growth, as well as influences on population growth and household formation. This analysis should include a look at the region’s economic development plans, strategies and priorities as one such influence on growth trends, and should also consider how the Sacramento region fits within a larger Northern California mega-region (with the San Francisco Bay Area and northern San Joaquin Valley).

The table below provides an example of possible factors to be considered.

Employment Population Housing Growth Sectors Aging Detached & Attached Salary Ethnicity Lot size Work from home/ project based Household income Market rate (luxury & workforce) and subsidized Work space Worker export/import to adjacent regions

Task 3. Conduct sensitivity/stress test for factors on initial growth projections

In this task the selected contractor will conduct a sensitivity analysis on the factors analyzed under Task 2, as well as the exogenous factors from Task 1, to show the effect of varying assumptions on the initial growth projections. The work will show a range of possible future growth scenarios, instead of simply extending a past trend line into the future. The results of the work will be a matrix documenting low and high estimate assumptions relative to the initial projections.

Task 4. Propose revised growth projections based on region’s competitive position

Building off the review of the region’s competitive position within state and national growth and sensitivity analysis, the selected contractor will propose an updated regional growth projection in the interim and horizon years for the three growth categories (employment, population, housing) by five year intervals. The selected contractor will report a range from these proposed projections and document the factors underlying these projections and range.

In addition to the aggregate measure, this next iteration in the projections will include further detail at the five-year intervals: The employment projection will be developed at the major industry level, the population projections will include age, ethnicity and income detail, and the housing projection will include dwelling units, households and vacancy rate.

Task 5. Vet projections with stakeholders in the region

Developing growth projections for the MTP/SCS is an iterative process that draws on a range of regional partnerships. With a revised growth projection, the selected contractor will direct locally-based outside industry experts that track regional growth in a reasonableness assessment of the refined projections. This reasonableness vetting should target groups such as the following:

• Regional economic development entities • Builder and realtor groups • University experts • State of California departments

The selected contractor will also convene a workshop retreat for the SACOG Board of Directors as a firm deliverable for this project task.

Task 6. Synthesize stakeholder feedback into final projections

The project will culminate in a final iteration of the growth projections to present to the SACOG Board of Directors. The final projections will draw on the research, analysis, and feedback pursued during the course of the project. The projections will be at five year intervals through 2050. The employment projection will be developed at the major industry level. The population projections will include age, ethnicity and income detail. The housing projection will include dwelling units, households and vacancy rate. The final projections will incorporate the project’s assessment of a range of possible growth parameters by adding an additional temporal indicator that estimates when the final aggregate projected growth levels would be reached given changing assumptions to internal and exogenous variables.

Task 7. Project Management

Ongoing project management including coordination with SACOG staff and stakeholders.

Item #16-12-12 SACOG Board of Directors Consent

December 8, 2016

Approve Updates to the Memorandum of Understanding between SACOG & El Dorado County Transportation Commission

Issue: Should the Board adopt an update to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between SACOG and the El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC) to incorporate administrative updates and procedures to affirm existing coordination practices between the two agencies?

Recommendation: The Government Relations & Public Affairs Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of Directors approve the updated MOU between SACOG and EDCTC.

Committee Action/Discussion: SACOG and EDCTC work together under the provisions of an MOU between the agencies that was last updated in 1994. Since that time, federal and state regulations and procedures impacting agency coordination in our region have evolved. These changes include new financial reporting requirements from Caltrans to create consistency between interagency MOUs and master fund agreements. In October, the Board adopted an update MOU between SACOG and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) to reflect the new Caltrans requirements. The EDCTC MOU update is an opportunity to incorporate similar changes that will reduce the risk of any future audit findings or unclear procedures for interagency coordination.

In reviewing the MOUs for EDCTC and PCTPA, staff at the three agencies also identified minor administrative updates that should be made to the MOUs. For the EDCTC MOU this includes updating federal statutes citations, and updating the MOU references to the current federal transportation act, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST). There are no recommended policy language edits to the EDCTC MOU that would change the terms by which the two agencies work together. The attached version incorporates these additional changes.

Staff and legal counsel at SACOG and EDCTC have reviewed the recommended updates, found them to be worthwhile and consistent with agency practices, and incorporated them into the attached track- changes version of the MOU.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

Between

SACRAMENTO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

And

EL DORADO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into between the State of California, acting through the Secretary of Business, Transportation and Housing (the “State”), Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), and the El Dorado County Transportation Commission (EDCTC). EDCTC is executing this Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) on behalf of its member agencies, with full authority for its entry into this MOU from said agencies. This MOU supersedes the MOU between SACOG and EDCTC executed June 30, 1993 and the first amendment effective April 1, 1994.

SECTION 1: RECITALS FEDERAL PLANNING A. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act and successor Federal transportation actsThe Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) requires metropolitan planning organizations, in cooperation with the State, to develop transportation plans and programs for urbanized areas of the State in order to “encourage and promote the development of transportation systems embracing various modes of transportation in a manner which will efficiently maximize mobility of people and goods within and through urbanized areas and minimize transportation-related fuel consumption and air pollution.”.

Title 23, Section 134(ce) states that “… the boundaries of a metropolitan area shall be determined by agreement between the metropolitan planning organization and the Governor…” For areas designated as nonattainment areas for ozone or carbon monoxide under the Clean Air Act, the boundaries of the metropolitan area shall at least include the boundaries of the nonattainment area, except as otherwise provided by agreement between the metropolitan planning organization and the Governor.” C. The Sacramento metropolitan area (Metropolitan Area) has been designated as a nonattainment area for ozone under the Clean Air Act. D. Title 42, Section 7506 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires metropolitan planning organizations to ensure that regional transportation plans and programs developed pursuant to the FAST Act or successor actISTEA conform to the State Implementation Plan developed for the air basin; Title 4223, Section 134(g)(3) of the ISTEA requires metropolitan planning organizations to coordinate development of the regional transportation plan with development of the transportation control measures for the State Implementation Plan required by the Clean Air Act. E. On July 14, 19911992, the Governor delegated responsibility for designating metropolitan planning organizations to the Secretary of the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency and approving transportation improvement programs developed according to U.S. Code Title 23, Section 134 to the Director of the Department of Transportation, a department within the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency. F. On July 2, 2013, the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency was replaced by the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) which focuses on transportation. G.

(A) Develop the plans and Transportation Improvement Programsprograms for adoption by a metropolitan planning organization; and (B) Develop long-range capital plans, coordinate transit services and projects, and carry out other activities pursuant to State Law.”

STATE PLANNING GH. Government Code Section 65080 et seq. requires each designated transportation planning agency to prepare and adopt a regional transportation plan and regional transportation improvement program for State purposes. The regional transportation plan is to include consideration of the factors specified in Section 134 of the FAST Act or successor actISTEA. HI. Government Code Section 65089 requires the preparation of congestion management programs in each county that includes an urbanized area. The congestion management programs are to be updated biennially and, if found to be consistent with the State regional transportation plans, are to be incorporated into the State regional transportation improvement programs. ORGANIZATIONS IJ. For the purposes of both the FAST Act or successor actISTEA and the Federal Clean Air Act, SACOG is the designated metropolitan Metropolitan planning Planning organization Organization (MPO) for the Metropolitan Area, . SACOG also has responsibility for making findings of conformity required under section 176(c) of the federal Clean Air Act within the designated Sacramento Ozone Non-attainment Area. This MOU neither extends nor retracts any state or federal planning or programming boundary. which includes the designated nonattainment area. For the purposes of State transportation planning, SACOG is the transportation Planning agency for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties pursuant to Section 65080 of the Government Code. K. For the term of this MOU and except as specified in Section VII, this MOU establishes the procedures and basis whereby SACOG shall act as the MPO for those portions of El Dorado County which lie in the designated Ozone Non-attainment Area pursuant to the FAST Act or successor act and Federal Clean Air Act. L. For the purposes of State transportation planning: (1) pursuant to Section 65080 of the Government Code, SACOG is the regional transportation planning agency for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties; and (2) pursuant to Section 65080 of the Government Code, EDCTC is the regional transportation planning agency for the County of El Dorado, except for that portion of the county within the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (“TRPA”). M. The County of El Dorado and the city City of Placerville are not members of SACOG and have representatives on EDCTC. LN. Nothing in the MOU is intended to affect the existing relationship between either SACOG and its member jurisdictions or between EDCTC and its member jurisdictions in El Dorado County. O. Nothing in this MOU affects EDCTC’s jurisdiction under State law, nor does it affect SACOG’s jurisdiction under State and Federal law.

P. Nothing in this MOU prejudices the negotiations for, or right to receive funds in the amount apportioned by the Department of Transportation in exchange for El Dorado County jurisdiction’s entitlement to federal regional surface transportation funds pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 182.6 of the Streets and Highway Code. SECTION II: PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES The purpose of the MOU is to coordinate transportation planning and programming for the purposes of ISTEA the FAST Act or successor act and the federal Clean Air Act, which is the responsibility of SACOG, with the transportation planning and programming for the purposes of State law, which is the responsibility of SACOG in Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, and Yuba Counties and the responsibility of EDCTC in El Dorado County except for the portion of the County within the jurisdiction of the TRPA. For the purposes of avoiding duplication, inconsistencies, and unnecessary expenditure of public funds, to the greatest extent possible the federal regional transportation plan and transportation improvement programthe long range transportation plan adopted by SACOG pursuant to the FAST Act or successor actISTEA and the Federal Clean Air Act will be identical to the State regional transportation plan and transportation improvement programand the long range transportation plan adopted by SACOG pursuant to State law (both plans and programs referred to as “Metropolitan Transportation Plan” and “Metropolitan TIP”)for Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, and Yuba Counties will be developed with a single planning process and contained in one document, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) adopted by SACOG pursuant to the FAST Act or successor act and the Federal Clean Air Act and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program approved by SACOG pursuant to State law will continue to remain different programs with different purposes as defined in the FAST Act or successor act and State law. EDCTC shall, at its sole discretion, adopt a separate regional transportation plan pursuant to State law for that portion of El Dorado County outside of the jurisdiction of the TRPA. EDCTC shall continue to develop a Regional Transportation Improvement Program for that portion of El Dorado County outside of the jurisdiction of the TRPA. EDCTC may, but is not required to, adopt a separate regional transportation plan and program pursuant to State law for El Dorado County, except for that portion which is within TRPA. Therefore, a specific purpose of the parties to this MOU is to establish a process which assures consistency between the Metropolitan TIP adopted by SACOG and the Regional Transportation Plan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program adopted by EDCTCfederal transportation plans and programs adopted by SACOG and the State transportation plans and programs adopted by EDCTC.

A. Federal For the purposes of developing and adopting the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Metropolitan TIP under The FAST Act or successor actISTEA, the following principles shall govern: 1. SACOG, as the MPO, in cooperation with the State, has the responsibility for the development and adoption of the metropolitan Transportation Plan, the Metropolitan TIP

under the FAST Act or successor actISTEA< and for making the air quality conformity finding under the Federal Clean Air Act. 2. A single coordinated process for developing the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Metropolitan TIP should be developed and implemented throughout the Metropolitan Area. 3. All jurisdictions within the Metropolitan Area should have the same and equal opportunity to propose and advance goals, policies, objectives, programs, and projects. 4. A single set of uniform and internally consistent date for the Metropolitan Area should be used in the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Metropolitan TIP and air conformity finding. 5. The Metropolitan Transportation Plan shall be a document which integrates information, goals, policies, programs, and projects from throughout the Metropolitan Area based on subject matter.All jurisdictions within the Metropolitan Area should share equitable in the costs of the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Metropolitan TIP and air quality conformity; therefore, jurisdictions which are not members of SACOG should not be required to pay for the work performed by SACOG for jurisdictions within the Metropolitan Area which are not members of SACOG. B. State 1. EDCTC has the responsibility for the development and adoption of a State regional transportation plan (State RTP)Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the State regional transportation improvement program (State TIP)Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) which incorporates the State congestion management plan, for El Dorado County except for the portion of the County within the jurisdiction of the TRPA. SACOG has the responsibility for the development and adoption of an State RTP and an State RTIP which incorporates the State congestion management plan for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties, . SACOG’s MTP serves as the RTP for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba countieswhich will be identical to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. 2. In developing and adopting the State RTP, EDCTC and SACOG are required to consider the factors specified in Section 134 of Title 23, US Code, as updated by the FAST Act or successor act.ISTEA. 3. In developing and adopting the State RTP and the State TIRTIPP, EDCTC shall use data and methodologies which are consistent and compatible with data and methodologies used by SACOG in the development by SACOG of both Federal and State plans and programs, . if SACOG is required to review, consider and comment on EDCTC submissions in accord with this MOU.

After notice, opportunity for review and comment, the SACOG Board, after reviewing the draft metropolitan Transportation Plan and all comments, certifying the necessary environmental documentation and approving findings of air quality conformity, shall adopt a Metropolitan Transportation Plan. . Planning Process within Metropolitan Area after 1993 for Metropolitan Transportation Plan The parties agree that during the term of the MOU the specific planning process leading to the development and adoption of Metropolitan Transportation Plans will change in order to respond to changes in the law and so that the process can be improved to reflect prior experience. It is the intent of this section to establish certain principles and standards which will govern the relationship between SACOG and the EDCTC but which will enable the planning process to remain flexible. 1. Whenever feasible, SACOG and EDCTC shall collaborate on the collection and development of demographic and land use data required to support the planning process. Each agency shall make available to the other any such data not constrained by proprietary agreement or other legal device. Any expense associated with providing such data shall be borne by the requesting agency. 1. SACOG shall specify the database standards which it will use during the next revision of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. These standards shall apply throughout the Metropolitan Area. Prior to specifying the database standards, SACOG and the EDCTC shall work together with the objective of agreeing upon standards which both entities can be used and which are consistent with each other. It is the desire of both SACOG and the EDCTC to use the best data available. Therefore, both SACOG and the EDCTC agree to periodically review their own database standards and information provided by each other in order to achieve this goal. 2. EDCTC shall use SACOG’s travel demand model, related analytical software tools and parametric data as the basis for applicable planning development of the Regional Transportation Plan and programming documents. 2. After SACOG has specified the database standards, the EDCTC will submit its database standards which it will use in the development of a state regional transportation plan, state regional transportation improvement program, state congestion management program or other plan or program documents such as goals, objectives, needs, constraints or projects which the EDCTC may wish to submit to SACOG (EDCTC Documents) for SACOG approval of consistency. 3. At the commencement of each plan revision, SACOG shall inform consult with the EDCTC and other transportation entities and stakeholders of theon the schedule SACOG intends toshould use during the planning cycle. To the extent possible, the schedule shall specify the dates at which the different draft components (policies, financial, etc.) of the draft Metropolitan Transportation Plan will be first developed and considered. SACOG, after consultation with the and EDCTC shall agree, shall also approve an EDCTC to a schedule which shall specify

SECTION VI: CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCESS

The process for planning and adoption of the federal Metropolitan Transportation Plans after 1993 and the Federal Metropolitan TIP's includes procedures for the exchange of information, consultation and standards for consideration and inclusion of programs and projects. SACOG and EDCTC agree that it is appropriate to include a conflict resolution process which offers both parties representation in the resolution of a dispute which results from the planning process established by this MOU and cannot be resolved through these procedures. Prior to consideration by SACOG of the adoption of the federal Metropolitan Transportation Plan or the federal Metropolitan TIP, and at a time which will not delay approval of a federal plan or TIP or jeopardize any funding for the Metropolitan Area, either SACOG or EDCTC may request the formation of a conflict resolution committee which shall consist of two members of SACOG's governing board and two members of EDCTC's governing board. If requested by either SACOG or EDCTC, the conflict resolution committee shall meet in an attempt to resolve a disputed issue and, with the consent of the members of both entities, may designate one or more additional persons, not affiliated with either entity, to assist in the resolution of the issue. Whether or not the conflict resolution committee reaches agreement on a particular dispute, a report of the conflict resolution committee shall be presented to the boards of both SACOG and EDCTC;

Memorandum of Understanding – SACOG - EDCTC 19942016

10 however, nothing in this section shall be deemed to require either SACOG or EDCTC to adopt a recommendation of the conflict resolution committee.

SECTION VII: FUNDING To compensate SACOG for performing the transportation planning and programming responsibilities required under the FAST Act or successor act functions as the MPO under ISTEA and the Federal Clean Air Act pursuant to this MOU, the following fees shall be paid to SACOG each year: A. Beginning with fiscal year 1993/94 EDCTC shall annually contribute to the SACOG from EDCTC’s annual work program, for the use in SACOG’s federal planning and programming effort, an amount equal to 2% of the Local Transportation Fund apportionment to all El Dorado County Jurisdiction lying within the Designated Ozone Non-attainment Area, in return for which SACOG shall perform the federal transportation planning and programming responsibilities pursuant to this MOU. This amount shall be calculated after the fund has been reduced by administrative program costs determined in the final El Dorado County Transportation Commission Finding of Apportionment (e.g., EDCTC TDA Administration, El Dorado County Auditor Administrative cost, Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle fund not to exceed 2% and Article 4.5 community Transit Service Allocation) enabled under Section 99233.1 of Chapter 4 Article 3, of the California Public Utilities Code. SACOG shall be paid equal quarterly installments at or near the beginning of each quarter contingent upon cash flow considerations.

For the purposes of this MOU, the Designated Ozone Non-attainment area shall include all of El Dorado County except for that portion of the County within TRPA.

B. Beginning with Fiscal Year 1995-1996, tThe contribution to SACOG for its federal programming and planning effort for El Dorado County Jurisdictions may be modified through mutual agreement. Any modifications will be based upon an analysis of both (1) the SACOG planning work program excluding activities which are primarily due to SACOG’s role as an RTPA, ALUC, or COG, and (2) the cost savings to SACOG for EDCTC products provided to SACOG as part of its State designated RTPA activities.

C. Work performed by SACOG on behalf of EDCTC as outlined in Section VII.A. will be considered as that of a contractor for the purposes of Caltrans requirements for the use of State planning funds. SACOG agrees to comply with the requirements for use of these funds as outlined in Attachment 1. SECTION VIII: RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEMBER JURISDICTIONS In accord with Section I.L, it is understood that during the planning and approval process of both plans and programs pursuant to both Federal and State laws, both SACOG and the EDCTC will have direct contacts with the jurisdictions which are members of both jurisdictions, and nothing in this MOU is intended to limit the full participation by member jurisdictions in either organization, including the right by a member jurisdiction to submit information, projects or plans directly to either organization or for either SACOG or the EDCTC to work directly with member jurisdictions with respect to consideration and approval of information, projects, funding, or plans.

Item #16-12-13 SACOG Board of Directors Consent December 8, 2016

Approve Application to California Energy Commission for Electric Vehicle Plan Implementation

Issue: SACOG and project partners are seeking funding for a regional plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) ombudsman to coordinate efforts to implement the regional PEV infrastructure plan.

Recommendation: The Land Use & Natural Resources Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of Directors allow SACOG to apply to the California Energy Commission (CEC) grant process for PEV plan implementation, and if awarded, enter into a contract with the CEC.

Committee Action/Discussion: SACOG and TakeCharge project partners have created a regional PEV infrastructure plan that efficiently supplies charging for existing and future electric vehicles. The plan identifies where charging is most needed in the region today based on existing driving behavior for those that are most likely to drive an electric vehicle. It also outlines steps local jurisdictions and partner agencies can take to be more PEV ready. This includes, but is not limited to, making the permit and installation process for PEV chargers easier, allowing charging to occur in any use, and providing ways for charging to happen in existing and future development. One barrier the region has encountered to larger adoption of PEVs is the lack of consistency in siting, installing, and marketing chargers. In order to do this on a regional scale, a single point of contact is needed to coordinate efforts. This will allow for easier processes related to siting and permitting, and free up resources for more purchasing and installing of PEV charging infrastructure.

The CEC has issued a solicitation for PEV readiness and infrastructure plan implementation up to $300,000 in one of four focus areas: feasibility studies, new regional plan development, plan implementation, and plan development and implementation. SACOG is working with the TakeCharge partners to create a scope of work for the application focusing on plan implementation. Applications are limited to one area, and cannot include purchase and installation of equipment. Funds are available on a first come first served basis, and no match is required.

Item # 16-12-16 SACOG Board of Directors Information Connect Card Project Status & Budget Update

Issue: The Connect Card has reached an important project development milestone that is the culmination of technical deployment and budget actions over recent months by the nine-agency Consortium implementing the project.

Recommendation: None, this is for information only.

Committee Action/Discussion: The Connect Card project is a complex initiative involving the installation of equipment on over 500 buses and 47 light rail stations of nine transit agencies to support seamless electronic fare payments throughout the Sacramento Region. On November 16, the project achieved an important milestone – the soft launch of the system. With that milestone reached, it is timely for the staff to update the Board on the status of remaining project implementation efforts.

In the months since the last Connect Card project briefing to the Board, benefits to transit riders, participating agencies and the region have become increasingly clear. A single smart card accepted on transit vehicles throughout the region improves the ease of use for the rider and supports cost-effective transit integration efforts.

Currently, riders must pay fares using either paper media (e.g., passes, tickets, and transfers) purchased at limited distribution sites or with cash using exact change. The Connect Card affords new flexibility and protections. Fares can be paid from anywhere with internet or telephone access, and all fare media types can be auto loaded to the Connect Card from any bus, train station or distribution site. Fare purchases and cash balances are protected. Reporting a lost, damaged or stolen card gains the user another card with balances and media restored. Exact change is no longer needed, and cash balances can be replenished from home, office or on the run. Transit operators in our region today pay a high cost to secure and process paper media (e.g., order, print, and distribute tickets and passes, and collect and destroy unused media) and to account for cash receipts (coins and currency). Moving to electronic fare collection offers the opportunity to reduce operating costs, improve controls, reduce fraud, and streamline business processes.

The Soft Launch that began on November 16 represents a significant achievement in the Connect Card implementation effort. Activities leading up to this point include the completion of system architecture, final system and agency readiness testing, final equipment installations, as well as recruiting volunteer transit riders, employers, and retailers to serve as Soft Launch participants.

The Soft Launch is occurring in two phases: Phase One that began on November 16 includes all RT buses and rail stations while Phase Two, which will happen 4-6 weeks later, will add all of the remaining agencies. Over this time, the Soft Launch will also engage select regional Connect SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

Card retailers who will load cash value and passes for all regional transit partners.

In support of the ongoing project launch efforts, staff is concurrently working to complete the governance structure and standard operating procedures that will guide the program over the long-term. Related efforts include establishing an annual operating budget and a model for allocating ongoing operating expenses among the nine transit operators.

Led by the SACOG Project Management Team, all Connect Card implementation activities continue to be coordinated through monthly Connect Card Executive Committee Meetings and weekly briefings to discuss governance, standard operating procedures, and implementation planning. SACOG staff has also been working to secure regional retailers including Raley’s/Bel Air and Walgreens to sell and load fares on Connect Card media. SACOG has also been hosting a West Coast Peer Review Group for six months that has been meeting monthly to discuss issues and share ideas for deployment and operation of smart card fare collection systems, including the Connect Card.

A summary of notable Connect Card implementation achievements to-date:

• Buses with Equipment Installed: 500+ • Light Rail Station Installations: 47 • Redundant back-end servers: Installed and tested • Complex Regional Fare Structure: Complete, tested, and signed off by all agencies • Website PCI Compliance: Passed • Corporate Accounts Web Portal: Complete • Financial Reports: 90% complete • Standard Operating Procedures: 50+ • Bus Operator Training: Underway • Regional Service Center Training: Underway • Individual Soft Launch Volunteers: nearly 500 • Corporate Soft Launch Volunteers: 5 companies + 1 Third-Party Administrator

Project Budget

As a complex project involving nine distinct transit operators, there have been numerous challenges to overcome in reaching the Soft Launch milestone. Altogether, these challenges have delayed implementation and increased project costs from the initial budget. The most significant cost drivers have been new technical solutions, additional equipment, and technical consulting support to help address other identified challenges. Following is a summary of the purposes for cost increases that have been the subject of prior budget reviews by the Executive Committee of the nine-agency Consortium implementing the project:

• Additional cost for installing equipment at light rail stations • Additional software licenses to better fit business needs • Additional spare parts • Improved functionality for customer website SACOG Board of Directors Page | 3

• Mandatory replacement of web payment portal • Improved quality of the Interactive Voice Response system (checking balance by phone) • Improved functionality for corporate accounts/employer-sponsored transit programs • Retrofit of handheld devices to operate as portable bus validators • Handheld fare collection application development for events, vehicle equipment back-up • Technical consulting services • Pilot and Launch training and marketing

Consortium support for project budget increases have been to achieve important project outcomes, including the following:

• Support a well-thought-out governance and management structure that will ensure that the ongoing operation is supported and financially stable. • Ensure that the system is deployed with customer satisfaction and increased ridership in mind. • Provide more flexibility to transit riders and operators and support paratransit services, as well as special event fare collection. • Support additional fare products such as distance and zone-based fares.

Staff analysis suggests the initial Connect Card implementation timeline was too optimistic and did not plan a large enough contingency budget for a project of this level of complexity and magnitude. In working with the West Coast Peer Review Group, we have learned that we are not alone in these challenges. Similar systems have taken approximately five years to fully implement and most have experienced cost overruns. The Connect Card project is actually the least expensive project per expected rider when compared with all major smart card deployments in the West Coast Smart Card Peer Group.

As the Connect Card enters the final stage of project development, the good news is that a final budget has come into focus and staff is confident there are adequate revenues to complete the implementation work. Over the past year, staff has worked closely with the nine agencies who comprise the Consortium in order to secure adequate contributions to complete the project. Through this effort, all project development costs are now covered and a $500,000 contingency has been restored. Budget updates have been shared over the past year through regular Consortium Executive Committee meetings.

Technology Integration

In response to Board interest, staff has focused collaborations with the West Coast Peer Review Group on realizing opportunities for the Connect Card to be a useful foundation for future technology integration efforts.

The Connect Card was modeled after several similar systems including The Clipper® Card in the San Francisco Bay area, the ORCA® Card in Seattle, and TAP Card in Los Angeles to name a few. The card-based technology was selected as the lowest cost and lowest common denominator for a region with nine transit agencies, eight of which do not have real-time communications to/from their vehicles. Card-based systems have proven stable, popular and accessible to all riders. These systems are also the foundation for modern fare programs such as distance-based fares, time-based fares, and fare capping strategies that benefit agency operations SACOG Board of Directors Page | 5

and encourage ridership.

Significant elements of the Connect Card program that will endure include shifting from cash and paper to an electronic payment system, using a single technology platform to integrate all transit operators in the region, sharing an electronic fare media distribution and customer support system, and building a regional customer service center and fiscal clearing house capability. These are the building blocks that will survive even with any future changes in the technology platform.

As we look to the future, there are new leading edge payment technologies emerging such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Paypal, Amazon, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), and others. The mobile payment industry is moving quickly, which creates risk for investing in technology that is not yet standardized. It remains to be seen which of these payment technologies will become the standard, so many transit agencies are reluctant to deploy technology geared toward any specific product. Agencies such as Regional Transit are experimenting with relatively good success with mobile applications, which are attractive to occasional riders and single ride or day pass users. The Connect Card system is an important complement to these mobile applications because it provides the means to support many functions, including electronic cash value, monthly passes, auto-load, and regional transfers. SACOG has also been assessing potential integration of the Connect Card into payment options for the new bikeshare system, as well as Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and/or parking facilities at transit stations, which has been a use of Los Angeles Metro’s TAP Card.

Next-generation account-based and open payment systems are being designed that require high- speed cellular communications on each and every vehicle. These systems have a higher capital cost along with higher operating expenses, but do offer greater convenience to customers who want to pay with a credit card, load their account immediately before riding, or use their phone as a tapping credential. The Connect Card is also an important step forward towards realizing these future opportunities.

December 8, 2016

2016 Project Delivery Update

Each year, SACOG helps project sponsors deliver their projects with SACOG-controlled federal funds from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program, Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), and Regional Improvement Program (RIP or “STIP”). Delivering a transportation project through the federal aid funding system can be a timely and cumbersome process. SACOG’s staff and the annual “Delivery Plan Process” help simplify and shorten that process by assisting project sponsors with delivery timing, utilization of prioritization tiers, and implementation of general best practices.

Project sponsors and Caltrans Local Assistance staff continue to work hard to authorize projects. In 2016, SACOG over-delivered by $27.2 million and garnered $7.8 million of additional Obligation Authority (OA) through the August Redistribution process, which is the federal reallocation of leftover OA from the rest of the country.

Delivery was especially strong in 2016. Our original 2016 target was $52.6 million, which after prior year delivery, was adjusted to a new target of $39.7 million. As shown in Attachment A, we delivered $66.9 million in projects or $27.2 million above the target, which earned the region the $7.8 million in August Redistribution. This broke our highest record set back in 2007. For perspective, in 2015, the region over-delivered by $16.2 million and garnered $3.0 million of OA.

Throughout the year, staff will continue to update the Transportation Committee on project delivery results and successes.

Household Travel Survey

A household travel survey (HTS) is a detailed survey of all travel by all members of a household, for one or more survey days. HTS provides a rich source of observed data by residents of the region, to better understand the factors which influence all dimensions of travel: frequency and length of trips; mode of travel; duration and chaining of activities and trips through the course of a day; impact of surrounding land use on travel choices; impact of the availability of transit, bike lanes, sidewalks and other transportation infrastructure and services on travel choices; and many, many other facets of how demographic, land use and transportation facilities affect travel in our region.

The HTS design and testing work is included in SACOG’s OWP for FY2016-17. The last HTS implemented by SACOG was completed in 2000. SACOG surveyed nearly 9,000 people in 4,000 households. The data from that survey was utilized to develop travel modeling tools which, with significant updates and re-calibration, are still in use today. SACOG is committed to update this HTS in the coming calendar year. The current schedule is to finish all design work and testing of the HTS by June 2017, and to implement the survey in Fall 2017.

The approach for doing the HTS is unique for three reasons:

1) for design and implementation of the survey, SACOG has partnered with three other MPO’s (Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Southern California Association of Governments, and San Diego Association of Governments);

2) the HTS will be the first launched travel survey in this region using smartphone as the primary data collection device, rather than the older manual collection approach; and

3) the HTS will include significant questions about new and emerging travel options (e.g. Uber, Lyft; car-sharing; and attitudes regarding emerging options like shared bikes and autonomous vehicles).

Staff will periodically report to the Transportation Committee on progress of this project.

Goods Movement Planning & the FASTLANE Grant Program

On October 28, 2016 the U.S. DOT issued the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2017 Fostering Advancements in Shipping and Transportation for the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies (FASTLANE) program. The 2017 program includes $850 million nationwide with applications due by December 15, 2016.

The FASTLANE program provides dedicated, discretionary funding for projects that address critical freight issues on highways and bridges. Projects applying for FASTLANE funding will be evaluated based on six criteria including economic outcomes, mobility outcomes, safety outcomes, community and environmental outcomes, partnerships and innovation, and cost sharing. For details on eligible projects and activities and to learn how to apply visit www.transportation.gov/buildamerica/FASTLANEgrants. Upon request, staff is offering technical assistance and letters of support for applicants in the region.

Unfortunately, this year’s FASTLANE program offered a very short window between the release of the NOFO and the deadline for applications. This leaves little time for SACOG and member agencies to consider potential projects for a highly competitive national program. SACOG staff, however, is currently engaged in a number of goods movement planning efforts that should improve the region’s position to be competitive for FASTLANE, or similar programs, in the future. These activities include:

• Collaborating on a Mega-Region Goods Movement Plan. The study will look at freight needs and interactions between four MPOs in northern California. Other involved agencies include the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG).

• Participating in the Statewide Critical Urban and Critical Rural Freight Network Working Group. The working group is tasked with designating Critical Urban and Critical Rural Freight Corridors, as required by the FAST Act. These corridors will be the target of funding for National Highway Freight Program formula funds and future FASTLANE programs. Members include Caltrans, other MPOs, and stakeholders across the state.

• Launching a regional goods movement plan update later in 2017. An update to this 2007 plan will take a focused look at current freight and goods movement needs in the region. The plan will incorporate data and findings from the above-mentioned efforts, as well as work completed through the Rural-Urban Connections Strategy (RUCS) program.

Staff will keep the Board briefed on the various goods movement efforts as they each move forward over the next year. SACOG Board of Directors Page | 2

State Advocacy Update

The Transportation Special Session failed to pass any legislation before adjournment in November. On December 5, the 2017-18 Legislature convened. Senator Beall and Assemblyman Frazier have introduced the Transportation Infrastructure and Economic Investment Act, a $6 billion per year package to improve roads. Staff will update the Board in January of any other relevant legislation introduced, and will bring any recommendations for action to the Government Relations and Public Affairs Committee in February. Attached is an overview of the new legislation prepared by the authors.

Transportation Infrastructure and Economic Investment Act A $6 billion/yr. package to improve our roads and transportation infrastructure

Need for the bill California’s transportation revenues have not kept up with the need; California’s gas tax hasn’t been raised since 1994. As a result, California’s freeway system faces a $59 billion maintenance shortfall over the next 10 years, while local governments face a $78 billion shortfall for local roads, highways and bridges.

Where will the money come from? Revenues Adjustments and Enhancements: $5 billion annually from a phased-in 12 cent gas tax increase, restoration of the price-based gas excise tax rate to 2010 levels, increase the diesel excise tax by 20 cents and diesel sales tax by 4%, increase the vehicle registration fee by $38, and require zero-emission vehicles to pay an annual $100 fee for road maintenance and repair.

Reallocate existing truck weight fees: $500 million annually phased-in over five years that will go towards road maintenance and repair rather than to pay down transportation bond debt service.

Increase the Cap and Trade allocation for transit by increasing the share of C&T revenues to the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program and the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program

Caltrans Efficiency improvements: Estimated $70 Million annually

Accelerate General Fund Loan Repayments: $706 million in one-time revenue repaid to transportation programs from the General Fund

How will the money be spent? 50/50 funding split between state and local agencies for road and bridge maintenance and repair

Transit improvements, including passenger rail and bus lines.

Trade corridor improvements to facilitate goods movement from our ports and border

Additional transportation improvements: Transportation program reforms to ensure accountability and effectiveness

CEQA streamlining and funding for an advanced mitigation program for transportation projects

Economic benefits A 10-year, $6 billion annual investment into repairing and upgrading California’s transportation infrastructure would generate an estimated $111.9 billion in economic activity including 570,000 jobs – nearly 200,000 of which would be in construction occupations earning prevailing wages, $38.7 Billion in personal income and $4.5 Billion in additional local and state tax revenues.

CURRENT NEWS

Post-Election Analysis: What it Means for Transportation

CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP CHANGES

Leadership in both the House and Senate will remain Republican. Democrats had a net gain of one seat in the Senate and seven seats in the House – both far short of what would have been necessary for reclaiming the majority. However, there are some notable changes to those representatives who are expected to take leadership roles in the House and Senate.

Senate Leadership Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will take up the role of Senate Minority Leader, which is currently served by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) who is retiring at the end of this term. Current Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will maintain his leadership position under the new Congress.

Senate EPW Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE), who is known for his relationships across the aisle, will replace current ranking member for the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW), Barbara Boxer (D-CA) who is retiring. During committee mark-up of the FAST Act, Sen. Carper was one of the first to bring up the need to figure out how to pay for the transportation program and the importance of finding cost-effective solutions to fixing our transportation system. He also brings his expertise serving on the Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over funding the transportation program.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) is term-limited as chairman of EPW. The position is expected to go to Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY). Barrasso is from a rural state and is interested in addressing their unique transportation issues in any surface transportation bill. Local elected officials from Cheyenne, Wyoming have expressed interest in restoring the regional passenger rail service, which ended in 1997.

House Appropriations While Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) won his reelection campaign, he is term-limited out of his role as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) is in line to assume this leadership position. Hailing from an area served by Amtrak along the Northeast Corridor, he may be friendlier to multi-modal transportation than his predecessor.

Senate Appropriations Current Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MI) is expected to maintain the majority leadership position. Current Vice Chairwoman, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) is

retiring and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will assume this democratic leadership position. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) will replace Leahy as ranking member on the Judiciary Committee.

ADMINISTRATIVE TRANSITION & DOT SECRETARY

Shortly after the election, Shirley Ybarra was identified to lead DOT “agency action” for the transition team. Ybarra is a former senior transportation policy analyst at the Reason Foundation and served as Secretary of Transportation for the Commonwealth of Virginia from 1998 to 2002.

However, on November 22, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition announced Nancy Butler was named to replace Ybarra to run the “landing team” at DOT. Butler is a former lobbyist for the engineering company AECOM and served as director of external affairs at DOT from 1985 to 1993.

A “landing team member” for DOT assumes the role of working with DOT staff and helping the incoming administration take over responsibilities – a role which can influence the president-elect’s plan for investing in infrastructure or other transportation policy issues.

DOT Secretary Names for potential DOT Secretary picks have been surfacing, including Utah Speaker of the House Greg Hughes, who has served as chairman of the Utah Transit Authority. An early high-profile endorser of Trump, Speaker Hughes is known for overseeing the expansion of Salt Lake City’s regional transit network and increasing state transportation spending in 2015. If chosen, he would bring a unique voice for rural networks.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is also under consideration for a cabinet position, including DOT. Under Walker’s leadership, Wisconsin turned back millions of federal funds for rail. Walker also scuttled the streetcar project in Milwaukee and pushed for an unpopular highway expansion in that city in spite of declining vehicle miles traveled.

Recently, former Democratic Representative Harold Ford, Jr. emerged as a potential candidate for transportation secretary or another cabinet post. Ford, who served five terms in Congress and is currently working at Morgan Stanley, could add a moderate Democrat to the Trump cabinet. Other names that have circulated for DOT Secretary include outgoing Rep. John Mica (R-FL), current Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA), and outgoing Tulsa, Oklahoma Mayor Dewey Bartlett.

POLICY LIKELY IN THE NEW ADMINISTRATION’S FIRST 100 DAYS

One of President-elect Trump’s pledges for his first 100 days is to introduce and pass legislation that spurs $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over the course of 10 years without raising taxes. The infrastructure package, as referred to throughout the campaign, would include water infrastructure, the electricity grid, and other sectors beyond just transportation.

His campaign asserted that this bill would comprise of a “deficit-neutral system of infrastructure tax credits” that leverages private investments. New investments would focus on money-making infrastructure projects, such as airports and toll roads, that have a dedicated source of revenue. Following the election, his transition team revealed that the creation of an infrastructure bank would be a major focus to fund infrastructure investments.

1707 L Street, N.W., Suite 250 • Washington, DC 20036 t4america.org

Page 3 of 5

While congressional Republicans generally seem open to Trump’s developing proposal to invest in the nation’s infrastructure over the next year, neither Speaker Paul Ryan nor Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have identified the issue as a priority for Congress. Additionally, House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Bill Shuster has previously voiced concerns over the establishment of an infrastructure bank – an idea that came up during the development of the FAST Act. Republicans may also be wary of an infrastructure plan that is similar to the economic stimulus plan advanced under the Obama Administration. Sen. McConnell voiced concerns that “a government spending program is not likely to solve the fundamental problem of growth.”

Incoming Minority Leader Sen. Schumer (D-NY) indicated that Democratic lawmakers are open to collaborating with the Trump administration on investing in infrastructure. However, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has walked back from an initial optimistic tone after the election, writing in a letter to fellow legislators that they “must insist on a bill that puts good-paying jobs for workers first – not one that is a corporate tax break disguised as an infrastructure bill.”

Other priorities that the new administration will likely address in early 2017 include the Supreme Court nomination, repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and tax reform. These issues are expected to rank higher on Congress’ agenda, which could delay prospects for an infrastructure package. In fact, tax reform would need to go first as it has been floated as a way to pay for the infrastructure package, either through bringing in more federal revenues or including tax incentives designed to support infrastructure.

Congressional Appropriations Update

After returning from the recess, Congress decided to pursue another continuing resolution (CR) in lieu of an end of year omnibus package.

The current CR that the government is operating under will keep the government open until December 9 and includes full FY2017 appropriations for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. The new CR is expected to fund the government until March 31 at current FY2016 funding levels and task the new Congress with passing the remaining 11 FY2017 appropriations bills that Congress must still pass.

Special provisions, known as anomalies, that may be included in the new CR include: • allowing the Pentagon to start a new contract for a range of top procurement items, • an emergency supplemental bill to grant the Defense Department extra funds to fight Islamic State terrorists, or • funding to address the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

Since this new CR will be more complex than what passed before the election, legislators will need time to work through all of the possible additions. They are expected to take up the CR during the week of December 5.

The CR the government is now operating under maintains discretionary funding at a rate of $1.067 trillion and abides by the funding levels set in the bipartisan two-year budget deal passed in October 2015. It also includes $1.1 billion to fight and prevent the spread of the Zika virus, $500 million in grants to help states recover from major disasters declared in 2016, and $37 million to help fight the

House and Senate Hearings on Automated Vehicles

HOUSE ENERGY AND COMMERCE HEARING

On November 15, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade held a hearing on self-driving vehicles as part of their DISRUPTER series. Presided over by Subcommittee Chair Michael Burgess (R-TX) and Subcommittee Ranking Member Jan Schakowsky (D- IL), the hearing focused on the safety potential of automated vehicles (AV’s) to save thousands of human lives; approximately 35,000 Americans die in automobile crashes each year. Members repeatedly cited that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTSA) “94% of automobile crashes can be attributed to human error.”

Members also discussed the AV guidance that NHTSA released in September, which discusses 15 areas of safety concerns that AV manufacturers should address before releasing AV’s. Many Republicans, including Sen. Burgess, praised the guidance, but expressed concern that states like California could codify NHTSA’s voluntary guidance and that it may lead to a patchwork of state laws, which would hinder the deployment of AV’s. One other area of concern for members was cyber security. Some members, including Sen. Schakowsky (D-IL), cited the Jeep hacking that occurred in July 2015 to raise concerns that NHTSA and the automobile industry are not doing enough to prevent future hacking of AV’s.

SENATE APPROPRIATIONS HEARING

On November 16, the Senate Appropriations Transportation and Housing Subcommittee also held a hearing on self-driving vehicles, which Subcommittee Chairwoman, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and Subcommittee Ranking Member, Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) led.

Like the House hearing the day before, most of the discussion focused on the safety potential of AVs and the NHTSA AV guidance. However, Sen. Collins (R-ME) noted that Maine has the oldest population of any state in the United States and that AV’s and ride-sharing technologies could help provide seniors, persons with disabilities and people without the means to get a car with access to essential services like health care, education, and jobs.

Members were especially interested in the potential timeline for the deployment of AV’s. Panelists noted that there is no definite timeline at this point. However, a representative from the Alliance for Automobile Manufactures indicated that AV’s may be deployed in many urban areas by the early 2020’s.

INVEST Funding Announced

On November 10, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced an applied research funding opportunity for transportation agencies to use the Infrastructure Voluntary Evaluation Sustainability (INVEST) tool. Through this program FHWA aims to support projects that can demonstrate sustainability improvements through use of the INVEST tool.
