  • RM2 Public Hearing Related Documents
    Metropolitan Transportation Commission Programming and Allocations Committee June 14, 2017 Agenda Item 3a Regional Measure 2 Program Public Hearing Subject: Conduct a public hearing to amend the Regional Measure 2 (RM2) Operating program to add $5 million in annual operating assistance to two new projects: Clipper® and Transbay Transit Center operations. Background: In March 2004, Bay Area voters approved Regional Measure 2 (RM2), a $1 bridge toll increase on the seven state-owned bridges in the Bay Area. Pursuant to Section 30914(d) of the California Streets and Highways Code, up to 38 percent of RM2 toll revenues are to be made available annually for the purpose of providing operating assistance for transit services. The current RM2 Operating program consists of 11 transportation projects intended to reduce congestion or make improvements to travel in the toll bridge corridors. The operating projects in good standing and meeting required RM2 performance standards are being funded at appropriate levels as prescribed by the RM2 legislation. For FY 2017-18, the total funding required by the program falls below the 38 percent limit allowed for operating assistance, leaving operating funding available for programming. MTC is holding a public hearing in advance of consideration of action to program available RM2 operating funding capacity to two new projects that are consistent with the intent of the RM2 legislation. The proposed operating assistance for the two projects totals $5 million, annually. Further discussion of the projects is below. Project 12: Clipper® Operations Staff proposes to program $2 million annually to support ongoing operation of the Clipper® program.

    THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. : 10.3 SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCY DIVISION: Finance and Information Technology BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Approving a revised inter-agency transfer discount fare between the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), which operates the Alameda/Oakland and Alameda Harbor Bay ferry services, and provide for the transfer discount fare to Clipper® card customers only. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Resolution No. 3866, the MTC is mandated by Section 66516 of the California Government Code to promote the coordination of fares between transit agencies within its jurisdiction. The SFMTA is committed to updating and equalizing all existing inter-agency transfer agreements for customers transferring to the Municipal Railway from other Bay Area transit agencies, and introducing reciprocal transfer discounts for Muni customers transferring to other transit agencies. WETA and the SFMTA desire to increase the transfer of customers between systems, thereby improving the quality of transit service and encouraging transit use. In 2000, the SFMTA entered into a formal transfer agreement with the City of Alameda, the former operator of the ferry services, intended to facilitate the transfer of customers and encourage transit use which included a free two-part roundtrip ticket for transferring to Muni service ($4.00 value) for Alameda/Oakland and Alameda Harbor Bay ferry customers. The SFMTA and WETA are proposing to modify the current transfer arrangement by reducing the amount of the transfer discount to $1.00 per round trip with each agency providing a $0.50 discount off their respective adult cash fare, and making this transfer discount available only to Clipper® card customers.
