APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CONTRACT AWARD File Number 8000100
Introduction Recommendation
Pursuant to Board direction, construction and The Board of Directors is asked to authorize professional services awards associated with an the Executive Director to execute a contract original solicitation valued at $5 million or more award to construct Segment 1A of the require approval by the Board of Directors. South Bay Rapid project, as detailed herein.
Discussion
South Bay Rapid (Segment 1A)
In May 2017, SANDAG conducted an invitation for bids to construct six new transit stations near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, with shelters and other amenities along with a new shared used path, landscaping, and stormwater features. The facility will include dedicated transit access for Rapid vehicles and local buses for improved traffic flow. As required by federal provisions, an engineer’s estimate was prepared by SANDAG prior to the solicitation, resulting in an estimated amount of $21 million.
Four bids were received; the lowest bidder was West Coast General Corporation (WCG). A summary of bids is included as Attachment 1. Staff is recommending approval of a contract award to West Coast General Corporation (WCG) with a term of 300 working days and a contract amount of $18.17 million. WCG’s bid is 14 percent lower than the engineer’s estimate. This is attributed to a change in scope whereby the City of Chula Vista agreed to reduce the number of construction stages for the project. This reduction simplified the construction process which resulted in a lower bid. The FY 2018 Program Budget includes funding for this proposed contract in Capital Improvement Program Project No. 1280504: South Bay BRT.

Discussion
Rideshare Week 2017 – Go Green, Save Green
Rideshare Week is a nationally recognized event held during the first full week of October to promote commute alternatives to driving alone, including carpool, vanpool, and transit. SANDAG will promote ridesharing to employers and commuters during this week to increase awareness and participation in iCommute programs and services. Employers are invited to register to receive promotional tools and recognition, and commuters across the region will be invited to pledge to share the ride with the theme Go Green, Save Green.
Walk, Ride, and Roll to School
In June 2017, the iCommute Program awarded nearly $21,000 in grant funding to K-12 schools, districts, and community-based organizations for projects that encourage active transportation to school, or that promote pedestrian and bike safety around schools. Fifteen organizations were awarded mini-grants to host events between September 2017 and May 2018. A complete list of mini-grant recipients is included as Attachment 2.
Starting in August 2017, schools also will have the opportunity to register for free bike, skateboard, and pedestrian safety classes as well as instructional group rides or walks for students and parents. These activities are provided by iCommute to encourage active transportation to school and safety around schools.
Next Steps
SANDAG member agencies are asked to issue their own proclamation for Rideshare Week 2017 modeled after the attached Resolution No. 2018-02 (Attachment 1) and to promote Rideshare Week within their own jurisdictions.
Member agencies can participate by registering to participate and encouraging employers to do the same, or by hosting a promotion or event that encourages commuters to Go Green, Save Green during national Rideshare Week.
Member agencies also can encourage schools and districts to promote active transportation to school by participating in bike and pedestrian education activities offered through the iCommute Walk, Ride, and Roll to School program starting in August 2017.

5 AGENDA ITEM NO. 17-07-6 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JULY 28, 2017 ACTION REQUESTED – INFORMATION
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM File Number 8000100
Introduction
Federal regulations require the adoption of an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program as a condition of receipt of federal funds. The SANDAG administrative policies and procedures mandate EEO in recruitment, hiring, and employment for both applicants and employees. The agency also has policies that forbid discrimination and provide grievance procedures for employees and visitors to SANDAG who believe they have been a victim of discrimination.
In accordance with SANDAG Board Policy No. 007: Equal Employment Opportunity Program, this report summarizes employment results for FY 2017 and reviews EEO Program goals for the upcoming year.
Discussion
FY 2017 Employment Results
Between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, 68 new employees were hired by SANDAG; 5 of these individuals filled vacant, Regular positions and the other 63 filled various contingent positions (Limited-Term, Tolling Operations Personnel [TOP], and Temporary, Intern, Part-time, Seasonal positions).
Of the recruitments conducted in FY 2017, 82 percent were external – that is, open to both internal and external candidates; 18 percent of job openings were open only to current employees. Regardless of whether a recruitment is external or internal, the process for selecting candidates is always conducted in an open, competitive manner consistent with the EEO Program.
With each external recruitment for a Regular, Limited-Term, or TOP position, job notices are sent to approximately 200 regional contacts that include various minority and multicultural newspapers, websites, governmental agencies, professional organizations, community groups, colleges, and universities. These recruiting sources are used to reach qualified female applicants as well as applicants from various ethnic and racial groups.
Last fiscal year, the agency’s external recruitment efforts elicited applications from approximately 960 candidates for advertised positions. As part of the application process, each candidate is invited to provide demographic information. Based on data voluntarily provided by candidates during FY 2017, 45 percent identified as female and 45 percent identified as belonging to minority groups.
These statistics compare favorably to the San Diego Region Civilian Labor Force (derived from Census 2010 data), in which 46 percent of the population is female and 47 percent are from minority groups. Further, of the 68 new employees hired by SANDAG last year, 72 percent were female and 47 percent were from minority groups.
In the past fiscal year, 35 employees were promoted to higher-level positions; 9 of these individuals were promoted after successfully competing in either an internal or external recruitment. Of the group of 35 promoted employees, 71 percent were female and 60 percent represented minority groups.
With the staffing changes that occurred in FY 2017, the demographic profile of the agency’s employee group has remained reasonably consistent. On June 30, 2017, 57 percent of agency employees were female and 46 percent were from minority groups. This compares to 55 and 47 percent, respectively, when the last annual EEO Program report was presented.
Equal Employment Opportunity Program Goals for FY 2018
The goal of the SANDAG EEO Program is that women and minorities are represented in each job category in at least the same percentage as the female, ethnic, and racial population of the relevant labor market. The charts below represent FY 2017 EEO Program results compared to the labor force availability.
For the Officials/Managers job category, the relevant labor market is the United States Labor Force because SANDAG typically conducts nationwide recruitments to fill Executive-level positions.

* Source: U.S. Census Bureau. Census 2006-2010 EEO Tabulation; compiled by SANDAG, December 2012.
For all other job categories, the relevant labor market is the San Diego Region Labor Force.

Service-Maintenance 14 44% 66% 0% 86%
* Source: U.S. Census Bureau. Census 2006-2010 EEO Tabulation; compiled by SANDAG, December 2012.
The agency has continued to meets its EEO Program goal via gender-neutral and race-neutral means through outreach and advertising. During the past year, SANDAG has maintained the overall level of representation of female and minority employees.
2 It is anticipated the number of opportunities to fill staff positions within the next year will be similar to previous years. When such opportunities are available, SANDAG will continue its efforts to market the availability of positions to female and minority candidates through outreach efforts.
Conclusion
SANDAG values diversity and recognizes a broad range of perspectives is important if it is to solve problems and create effective, long-term plans for all residents of the San Diego region. The agency’s commitment to women and individuals from minority groups transcends the legal requirements for equal employment opportunity. Employment of representatives of every protected group on the SANDAG staff will lend validity and credibility to the public the agency serves and provide valuable insight into the impacts of policies on all communities in the San Diego region.

In accordance with its charter, the PWG is scheduled to sunset with the certification of the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report by the SANDAG Board and the approval of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The PWG met through the development of the environmental document, which was approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors and FTA in October 2014.
A groundbreaking celebration was held for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project on October 22, 2016. Community outreach currently is focused on construction, with service anticipated to begin in 2021.

2016 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT File Number 1500300 PROGRAM: AMENDMENT NO. 7 - ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATION
Introduction Recommendation
On September 23, 2016, the Board of Directors The Transportation Committee recommends adopted the 2016 Regional Transportation that the Board of Directors approve Improvement Program (RTIP), the multiyear program Amendment No. 7 – Administrative of proposed major transportation projects in the Modification to the 2016 Regional San Diego region covering the period FY 2017 to Transportation Improvement Program. FY 2021. The 2016 RTIP is a multibillion dollar program of projects funded by federal, state, TransNet local sales tax, and other local funding sources. The 2017 Federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, which incorporates the SANDAG 2016 RTIP, received federal approval on December 16, 2016.
Background
There are two types of processes to update the RTIP, administrative modifications and formal amendments. Formal amendments require, among other things, a 15-day public notice period, while administrative modifications are considered minor in nature and do not require a public notice period. Chapter 2 of the adopted 2016 RTIP provides additional details regarding the differences between formal amendments and administrative modifications. Amendment No. 7 is considered an administrative modification because the additional funding for each project, or grouped listing, is less than 40 percent, or $10 million, which is consistent with the federally accepted administrative modification procedures.
Discussion
SANDAG is processing Amendment No. 7 to the 2016 RTIP as an administrative modification in addition to the regular quarterly amendment to allow Caltrans to obligate federal funds this federal fiscal year. The federal agencies delegated the approval of administrative modifications to the state, thereby streamlining the approval process. Project changes included in this administrative modification are summarized below, with further programming details included in Table 1 (Attachment 1).
Caltrans
Interstate 5 – HOV/Managed Lanes (CAL09) – This amendment proposes to revise Regional Surface Transportation Program funding between phases to pay increased Preliminary Engineering expenses, which will need to be federally obligated this fiscal year. The amendment also proposes to increase TransNet – Major Corridor funding in FY 2017 and FY 2018 while decreasing funding in FY 2019 through FY 2021, as approved by the Board of Directors in the FY 2018 Program Budget. Total project cost increases by $1,290,000, bringing the programmed total to $543,963,000 with the overall project total cost of $549,586,000.
Grouped Projects for Pavement Resurfacing and Rehabilitation – SHOPP Roadway Preservation Program (CAL46E) – This amendment proposes to revise funding between fiscal years for this grouped listing as approved by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) at its meeting on June 28, 2017. Total programmed amount remains $160,866,000.
Various
State Route 11 (V11) – The CTC voted on June 28, 2017, to allocate $45,000,000 of the state’s share of federal Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program funding for right-of-way acquisition for the State Route 11 Otay Mesa East Port of Entry Project. This amendment proposes to add that funding in FY 2017 for obligation before the end of the federal fiscal year; it also reduces the local funding to offset the new federal funding and to reflect additional right-of-way cost savings. Total project cost decreases by $16,217,000, bringing the new total to $688,648,000.
Fiscal Constraint Analysis
Federal regulations require the 2016 RTIP to be a revenue constrained document, with programmed projects based upon available or committed funding and/or reasonable estimates of future funding. Funding assumptions generally are based on: (1) authorized or appropriated levels of federal and state funding from current legislation; (2) conservative projections of future federal and state funding based upon a continuation of current funding levels; (3) the most current revenue forecasts for the Board approved short-term TransNet Program; and (4) the planning and programming documents of the local transportation providers.
As an administrative modification, an updated fiscal constraint analysis is not required. The proposed changes included in Amendment No. 7 do not affect the fiscal constraint submitted as part of Amendment No. 4 to the 2016 RTIP, the last federally approved formal amendment that updated the financial capacity for the 2016 RTIP. This administrative modification adds programming capacity that relies on the State’s federal programming capacity. The next amendment will update the financial information to reflect actual funding to support the added programming capacity. Chapter 4 of the Final 2016 RTIP discusses in detail the financial capacity analysis of major program areas, including discussion of available revenues. The 2016 RTIP, including Amendment No. 7, continues to be reasonable when considering available funding sources.
2 Air Quality Analysis
On September 23, 2016, SANDAG found the 2016 RTIP in conformance with the Regional Air Quality Strategy/State Implementation Plan (SIP) and with the 2009 Regional Air Quality Strategy for the San Diego region. All the required regionally significant capacity increasing projects were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (Regional Plan) and the 2016 RTIP. The Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration jointly approved the conformity determination for the 2016 RTIP and the conformity redetermination for the Regional Plan on December 16, 2016.
The proposed amendment does not reflect a change in the design, concept, or scope of the project or the conformity analysis years as modeled for the regional emissions analysis of the 2016 RTIP. Projects in the 2016 RTIP Amendment No. 7 meet the conformity provisions of the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.122(g)). Capacity increasing projects were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the Regional Plan and 2016 RTIP. All other projects not included in the air quality conformity analysis are either non-capacity increasing or are exempt from the requirement to determine conformity per the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.126). SANDAG followed interagency consultation procedures to determine which projects are exempt. Amendment No. 7 does not interfere with the timely implementation of Transportation Control Measures. The 2016 RTIP, including Amendment No. 7, remains in conformance with the SIP.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 17-07-12 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JULY 28, 2017 ACTION REQUESTED – INFORMATION
2017 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM AUGMENTATION File Number 3300200
Introduction
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 into law (Senate Bill 1 [SB 1]) (Beall, 2017), which provides the first significant and ongoing increase in state transportation funding in more than two decades. SB 1 creates the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which will distribute $100 million annually to the Active Transportation Program (ATP) beginning in FY 2017-2018. The ATP is administered by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Discussion
ATP Background
The ATP is a competitive funding program established in 2013 to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation such as bicycling and walking. Funding for the program is awarded in three components: (1) the statewide competition, led by the CTC, which distributes 50 percent of the funding; (2) the small urban and rural competition, also led by the CTC, which distributes 10 percent of the funding; and (3) the regional competitions, facilitated by the Metropolitan Planning Organizations, which distribute the remaining 40 percent of the funding. The ATP typically is conducted on a two-year cycle with final adoption of projects occurring in each odd year.
Results of 2017 ATP
The most recent ATP competition was adopted in 2017 and projects were selected to receive funding through FY 2020-2021. The 2017 statewide ATP competition distributed approximately $132 million to 44 projects and was adopted by the CTC at its meeting on December 7, 2016. Application scores from the statewide competition are included in Attachment 1.
The 2017 San Diego regional ATP competition distributed an additional $9.6 million to 5 projects submitted from the cities of National City, Escondido, and Carlsbad. The Board of Directors adopted the results of the San Diego regional ATP competition on February 24, 2017, including the ranked list of projects to receive funding, as well as a contingency list of projects (Attachment 2). The CTC adopted the San Diego regional competition results at its meeting on March 15, 2017.
SB 1 Funding Distribution
The ATP funding provided by SB 1 will begin in FY 2017-2018. Pursuant to statute, the next ATP competition, the 2019 ATP, will cover the period FY 2019-2020 through FY 2022-2023 and must be adopted by April 1, 2019. In order to distribute the SB 1 funding for FY 2017-2018 and FY 2018-2019, the CTC needs to conduct a call for projects prior to the 2019 ATP. At its May 17, 2017, meeting, CTC staff recommended making the SB 1 funding available to already programmed projects selected through the 2017 ATP that can be delivered earlier than currently programmed, or for projects that applied for funding in the 2017 ATP but were not selected for funding. Based on this recommendation, the CTC approved the 2017 ATP Augmentation Guidelines (Attachment 3) at its meeting on June 28, 2017, and opened the call for projects on June 30, 2017.
The 2017 ATP Augmentation will distribute approximately $200 million in SB 1 funding to projects that applied for funding in the 2017 ATP. Funding will be distributed in the same manner as previous ATP competitions with two portions applicable to the San Diego region - the statewide and San Diego regional competitions. The statewide competition will distribute approximately $96 million, while the San Diego regional competition will distribute approximately $6.96 million, as shown in the ATP Fund Estimate (Attachment 4). Funding for the 2017 ATP Augmentation only will be available to projects that applied for funding in the 2017 ATP.
2017 ATP Augmentation Process
To be considered for the 2017 ATP Augmentation, applicants will submit an updated schedule and funding plan for each 2017 ATP project to the CTC and SANDAG. Projects will be sorted into the following priority orders:
1. Projects that can deliver all components in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 2. Projects that can deliver one or more but not all of their components in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 3. Projects that cannot deliver any of their project components in the 2017-2018 or 2018-2019
For the statewide competition, projects will be selected for funding based on the project’s 2017 ATP score, project deliverability, and priority order. For the San Diego regional competition, pursuant to the CTC guidelines, the process will utilize the project’s 2017 ATP rank, project deliverability, and priority order. Similar to previous ATP competitions, projects will be selected for funding through the statewide competition first, followed by the regional competition. A summary of the selection process is included as Attachment 5.
If a project that was selected to receive funding from the 2017 ATP advances to receive 2017 ATP Augmentation funding, then the 2017 ATP funding will be made available to the next highest-ranked project on the contingency list.
SANDAG Regional Bikeway Early Action Program Submittals
SANDAG submitted two project applications for consideration in the 2017 ATP:
• Imperial Avenue Bikeway: This project builds eight miles of bikeway in the City of San Diego along Imperial Avenue to Park Boulevard with connections to Balboa Park and Downtown San Diego. This project received $4.45 million in 2017 ATP funds from the statewide competition to complete construction in FY 2020 and FY 2021. Since the project received funding, SANDAG has the option
2
of moving up the schedule for an earlier delivery. Stakeholder outreach, design, and environmental work started on this project in FY 2016 and will not be completed prior to FY 2020, therefore staff does not recommend that the original project schedule be accelerated and will not submit this project for consideration in the 2017 ATP Augmentation.
• Inland Rail Trail: This project builds one additional mile of the Inland Rail Trail in the City of Vista. This project did not receive funding in the 2017 ATP, however its final ranking in the regional competition was just below the cut-off line for funding. Staff plans to submit this project for consideration in the 2017 ATP Augmentation by the August 1, 2017, deadline.
Next Steps
Staff will facilitate the 2017 San Diego regional ATP Augmentation competition and will return to the Transportation Committee and Board of Directors in September 2017 with the results of the 2017 ATP Augmentation.

Final 2017 Active Transportation Program Augmentation Guidelines
These guidelines are the policies and procedures specific to the use of 2017-18 and 2018-19 fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) – hereby known as the 2017 ATP Augmentation. The California Transportation Commission (Commission) is statutorily required to adopt the guidelines and selection criteria for and define the types of projects eligible to be funded through the ATP. I. Authority and Purpose Senate Bill (SB) 1, signed by the Governor on April 28, 2017, directs $100 million annually from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to the ATP beginning in the 2017-18 fiscal year. The following policies and procedures address the use of 2017-18 and 2018-19 fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account for the ATP. Unless otherwise expressly modified by statute or these guidelines, the Commission will follow the 2017 ATP Guidelines at http://catc.ca.gov/programs/ATP/2017/Final_Adopted_2017_ATP_Guidelines.pdf. II. Funding and Programming Years The 2017 ATP Augmentation is funded from the approximately $200 million allocated from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to the ATP in fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds are state funds. Therefore, projects funded in the 2017 ATP Augmentation do not need to be federal-aid eligible. The initial programming capacity for the 2017 ATP Augmentation program is in fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19. Some fiscal year 2019-20 and 2020-21 programming capacity may become available as previously programmed projects request advancement into fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19. III. Distribution The funding available for the 2017 ATP Augmentation will be distributed into the Statewide Component, the Small Urban & Rural Component, and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Component, in the same manner as specified in Section II (5) of the 2017 ATP Guidelines. The 2017 ATP Augmentation Fund Estimate must indicate the funds available for each of the program components. The Budget Act of 2017 appropriates no less than $4 million a year to the Commission for allocation to the California Conservation Corps for active transportation projects to be developed and implemented by the California Conservation Corps and certified community conservation corps. Commission staff is consulting with the California Conservation Corps to develop specific provisions for the use of these funds. Once these provisions have been developed, they will be incorporated into these guidelines by addendum and adopted by the Commission. IV. Schedule The following schedule lists the major milestones for the development and adoption of the 2017 ATP Augmentation: Guidelines Development Workshop June 9, 2017 2017 ATP Augmentation Guidelines presented to Commission June 28, 2017 Commission hearing and adoption of 2017 ATP Augmentation Guidelines June 28, 2017 Call for Projects June 30, 2017 Project submittals to Commission (postmark date) August 1, 2017 Staff recommendation for Statewide and Small Urban & Rural Components posted August 31, 2017 MPO project programming recommendations to Commission October 19, 2017

18 Commission adopts 2017 ATP Augmentation - Statewide and Small Urban & Rural October 18-19, 2017 Components Commission adopts 2017 ATP Augmentation - MPO Component December 6-7, 2017 V. Project Eligibility Funding for the 2017 ATP Augmentation will only be available to: • Projects programmed in the adopted 2017 ATP that can be delivered earlier than currently programmed • Projects that applied for funding in the 2017 ATP but were not selected for funding Projects that were awarded funds in 2017 ATP will remain in the component from which they were originally funded. In other words, a 2017 ATP project awarded funding from the Small Urban & Rural Component will remain in that component and a 2017 ATP project awarded funding from the MPO Component will remain in that component. The only exceptions to this policy will apply to projects that received funding for only one of the phases that were originally requested due to insufficient funds in the MPO Component of the program, an applicant may request funding for the other phases in the Statewide Component. Applicants may not request more ATP funding than was requested in the original application, however, applicants may shift requested funding amounts between components as long as there is no net increase in requested funds. Applicants may request less than their original funding request if the full scope of the project will still be delivered. In other words, some project elements may have been funded from other sources. Applicants may add scope to their original project if no increase in ATP funds is requested for the scope increase. Projects must deliver the same or greater benefits than what was proposed in the original application. A. Statewide and Small Urban & Rural Components 1) Projects that were awarded funds in the 2017 ATP Statewide and Small Urban & Rural Components may apply to advance one or more of their project components into the 2017- 18 and/or 2018-19 programming years. 2) Projects that applied for funding in the 2017 ATP but were not selected for funding. Scores can be found at the following link: http://www.catc.ca.gov/programs/ATP/2017/Final_Scores_2017/2017_ATP_All_Score_Score_Order _rev.pdf. In the Statewide and Small Urban & Rural Components, the 2017 ATP Augmentation funds will not be used to supplant already committed project funding. In the event Commission staff determines that there are not enough viable projects submitted in the 2017 ATP to fully utilize the funds available in the Statewide and/or Small Urban & Rural Components of the 2017 ATP Augmentation, the Commission may elect to hold a 2017 ATP Augmentation supplemental call for projects.

19 MPO Component
1) Projects that were awarded funds in the 2017 ATP MPO Component may apply to advance one or more of their project components into the 2017-18 and/or 2018-19 programming years. 2) Projects on the MPO 2017 ATP contingency list. The following policies will apply only for the MPO Component: • For the 2017 ATP Augmentation MPO Component, the Commission will allow the supplanting of funds at the MPO’s discretion. The supplanting of funds only applies to projects that received less ATP funding than requested in the 2017 ATP.
• Projects that applied for funding through construction in the Statewide Component but which received only preconstruction funding through the MPO Component may apply for funding through construction (the unfunded phases) in the Statewide Component. The funds distributed to the Lake Tahoe MPO in the MPO Component can only be used to fund projects located entirely within California. In the event an MPO determines that there are not enough viable projects from their 2017 ATP MPO contingency list to fully utilize the funds available in their 2017 ATP Augmentation component, the MPO may hold a 2017 ATP Augmentation supplemental call for projects. An MPO making such a determination must, by August 31, 2017 submit a letter signed by the Chief Executive Officer explaining the basis for the determination. A supplemental MPO call for projects must utilize the MPO’s 2017 ATP guidelines. Recommendations for funding, along with copies of all applications received, must be submitted to the Commission by October19, 2017. VI. Project Selection Process All projects applying for funding in the 2017 ATP Augmentation, including projects with no change to the schedule or funding plan, must submit the following supplemental application material. A. Supplemental Application Material 1) Updated Schedule and Funding Plan Each applicant must submit a Project Programming Request Form. A template of this form in Excel may be found at www.dot.ca.gov/hq/transprog/ocip/2016stip.htm. The Project Programming Request Form must list Federal, State, and local funding categories by fiscal year, and must include an updated schedule (project milestones) and updated cost information if necessary. The applicant must also include documentation that the availability of all other funds committed to the project are consistent with the updated schedule, i.e. the project must still be fully funded. 2) Authorization Letter Each applicant must submit a letter, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or other officer authorized by the applicant’s governing board, confirming that the project can be delivered in the time frame proposed in the updated Project Programming Request and that the project is still fully funded. In addition to the two required documents above, applicants may submit a one-page application update that explains any significant changes to the project since the original application submittal. This updated information will be used for project scope clarifications only and not

20 result in a revised score. Project must deliver the same or greater benefits than proposed in the original application. B. Criteria and Evaluation
1) Projects will be selected for the 2017 ATP Augmentation based on the project’s 2017 ATP score and project deliverability according to the following priority order. a. Projects that can deliver all components in 2017-18 and 2018-19. b. Projects that can deliver one or more but not all of their components in 2017-18 and 2018-19. The capacity to program all components of these projects will depend on fiscal year 2019-20 and 2020-21 programming capacity becoming available as previously programmed projects are advanced. c. Some fiscal year 2019-20 and 2020-21 programming capacity may become available as previously programmed projects request advancement into fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19. Therefore, other projects that applied for funding in the 2017 ATP (those that cannot deliver one or more of their project components in the 2017-18 or 2018-19 programming years) may compete for funding in the 2017 Augmentation. 2) As potential applicants review their projects schedules when they consider applying for the 2017 ATP Augmentation they should keep in mind that most of the available funding will be in fiscal years 2017-18 and 2018-19. Therefore, projects that can be delivered using these earlier year funds are more likely to be successful in the 2017 ATP Augmentation.
C. Submittal of Supplemental Application Material Supplemental application material must include the signature of the Chief Executive Officer or other officer authorized by the applicant’s governing board. Project applications should be addressed or delivered to: Susan Bransen, Executive Director California Transportation Commission 1120 N Street, Mail Station 52 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Commission will consider only projects for which five hard copies and one electronic copy of the aforementioned supplemental material are submitted postmarked by the appropriate deadline. Applicants are encouraged to submit a hard copy of their original application. By the same date, an additional copy must also be sent to the Regional Transportation Planning Agency or County Transportation Commission within which the project is located and to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (a contact list can be found at www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tpp/offices/orip/). VII. SB 1 Accountability Implementing agencies receiving ATP funds through the RMRA must follow the project reporting requirements detailed in Section 24 of the 2017 ATP Guidelines. In addition, implementing agencies must include project information signage stating that the project was made possible by SB 1 – The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

23 AGENDA ITEM NO. 17-07-13 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JULY 28, 2017 ACTION REQUESTED – DISCUSSION/ POSSIBLE ACTION
SANDAG GOVERNANCE REFORM File Number 7300400
Introduction
Prior to the passage of Senate Bill 1703 (Peace) (SB 1703) in 2002, SANDAG existed as a voluntarily formed joint powers authority. In SB 1703 the Legislature codified the SANDAG governance structure and recognized SANDAG as the consolidated agency responsible for planning and implementing an efficient regional transportation system and preparing a regional comprehensive plan that meets the mobility needs and improves the quality of life for the entire San Diego region. This legislation also provided SANDAG with the authority to call for an election on matters related to the governance or duties of the agency.
On February 15, 2017, Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher introduced Assembly Bill 805 (AB 805), which makes various changes to state law that would significantly impact the governance, powers, privileges, and duties of SANDAG.
The Board of Directors is asked to consider the placement of a ballot measure regarding SANDAG governance reform on the San Diego County ballot at an upcoming election. The measure could include any proposed changes contained in the final version of AB 805 and other proposals that would be developed through a public stakeholder process.
Discussion
On April 14, 2017, the Board of Directors voted to oppose AB 805 until and unless there are amendments, and to be open to discussions with the author. While AB 805 has been amended since that time, several provisions remain in the current version of the bill that would have significant impacts on the SANDAG governance and voting structures. In addition, new language recently was added that would alter current contracting requirements for the agency. The last day to amend bills in the Legislature is September 8, 2017. The author has indicated that additional amendments are forthcoming.
Proposed Changes in AB 805
SANDAG Board of Directors Membership
Current law provides that the governing body of each city shall select its representatives to the SANDAG Board of Directors. AB 805, as drafted, would require that the Mayor and the Council President serve as the primary and secondary representatives for the City of San Diego.
Officers of the SANDAG Board of Directors
The SANDAG Chair and Vice Chair serve as the officers of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to current SANDAG statutory authority, the Board has established a nomination and election process for leadership, including annual terms of office for the Chair and Vice Chair positions.
The proposal included in AB 805 would require that the mayors of the two largest cities alternate between serving as Chair and Vice Chair of the Board for two-year terms. (In terms of current population, the two largest cities in the region are the cities of San Diego and Chula Vista.)
SANDAG Voting Structure
With the exception of the Consent Agenda1 and when otherwise required by statute, all items before the Board of Directors currently require a majority tally vote (one vote per member agency jurisdiction) as well as a majority of the weighted vote2 of the member agencies present.
Rather, AB 805, as currently written, would require the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present for action on any item.3 After a tally vote is taken, however, AB 805 proposes to allow a weighted vote to be called by the members of any two jurisdictions. If at least four members from jurisdictions representing not less than 51 percent of the weighted vote support the action, the weighted vote would supersede the original action of the Board.
SANDAG Policy Advisory Committees
AB 805 proposes to create a new Audit Committee, consisting of five voting members, with two SANDAG Board members and three members of the public to be appointed by the Board of Directors. The proposed Audit Committee would make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on the contract of the firm conducting the annual financial statement audits; appoint an independent performance auditor, subject to Board approval; and approve an annual audit plan required under AB 805.
The proposed auditor would conduct performance audits of all departments, offices, boards, activities, agencies, and programs of SANDAG; prepare annual audit plans; and investigate material claims of financial fraud, waste, or impropriety within SANDAG. The independent performance auditor would serve a term of five years and could only be removed for cause.
In addition, AB 805, as drafted, would provide the independent performance auditor with “the power to appoint, employ, and remove assistants, employees, and personnel as deemed necessary for the efficient and effective administration of the affairs of the office and to prescribe their duties, scope of authority, and qualifications.” It is not clear whether this authority would be limited to the functions of the auditor or apply to SANDAG in its entirety.
Finally, AB 805 would authorize the independent performance auditor to summon any officer, agent, or employee of SANDAG and examine him or her upon oath or affirmation for certain investigatory purposes. If implemented as written, it appears that this provision could obligate SANDAG, under certain circumstances, to provide employees with legal representation.
1 Under current statute, consent items require a majority vote of the members present based on one vote per agency, otherwise known as a tally vote. 2 Under current law, no agency may have more than 40 votes, and no agency may have less than 1 vote. AB 805 would increase the 40 vote per agency cap to 50 votes per agency. 3 It appears this provision would provide the City of San Diego and County of San Diego with two tally votes each, compared to the current single tally vote per jurisdiction under current law.
2 Enforceable Commitment/Project Labor Agreement
If passed in its current form, AB 805 would prohibit SANDAG from entering into a construction contract over $1 million unless there either is an enforceable commitment that provides that the entity and its subcontractors at every tier will use a skilled and trained workforce to perform all work on the project or a specified contract that falls within an apprenticeship occupation in the building and construction trades in accordance with Chapter 2.9 (commencing with Section 2600) of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code. The bill provides that this requirement shall not apply if any of the following requirements are met:
1. SANDAG has entered into a project labor agreement (PLA)4 that will bind all contractors and subcontractors performing work on the project or SANDAG has contracted to use a skilled and trained workforce and the entity (construction contractor or subcontractor?) has agreed to be bound by that PLA. 2. The project or contract is being performed under the extension or renewal of a PLA that was entered into by SANDAG before January 1, 2017. 3. The entity has entered into a PLA that will bind the entity and all its subcontractors at every tier performing the project or the entity has contracted to use a skilled and trained workforce.
SANDAG Election Authority
Currently the law provides that the SANDAG Board of Directors can place measures on the countywide ballot for a decision by the voters of San Diego County on “the governance of or matters related to the powers, privileges, or duties” of SANDAG. Below is the specific language from SB 1703 Article 7 (Public Utilities Code Section 132362).
“In addition to the authority set forth in Article 5 (commencing with Section 132300) and Article 6 (commencing with Section 132320) of Chapter 2 of Division 12.7, if the consolidated agency5 provides compensation to San Diego County for the cost of including an ordinance or measure on the ballot, the consolidated agency may call an election, including an advisory election, in San Diego County on any ordinance or measure regarding the governance of or matters related to the powers, privileges, or duties of the consolidated agency, including, but not limited to, merger or complete consolidation of the transit boards.”

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 805
Introduced by Assembly Member Gonzalez Fletcher (Coauthor: Assembly Member Frazier)
February 15, 2017
An act to amend Sections 120050.2, 120051.6, 120102.5, 125102, 132351.1, 132351.2, 132351.4, 132352.3, 132354.1, and 132360.1 of, to add Sections 120221.5, 125222.5, and 132354.7 to, to add Article 11 (commencing with Section 120480) to Chapter 4 of Division 11 of, to add Article 9 (commencing with Section 125480) to Chapter 4 of Division 11.5 of, and to repeal Sections 120050.5 and 120051.1 of, the Public Utilities Code, relating to transportation.
legislative counsel’s digest AB 805, as amended, Gonzalez Fletcher. County of San Diego: transportation agencies. (1) Existing law provides for the consolidation of certain regional transportation planning, programming, and related functions in San Diego County from various existing agencies including the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the San Diego Metropolitan
4 2
Transit Development Board, also known as the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), and the North County Transit District (NCTD). Existing law provides for the consolidated agency, commonly known as SANDAG, to be governed by a board of directors of 21 city and county members selected by the governing body of each member agency. This bill would require the mayor and the president of the city council of the City of San Diego to serve on the board. The bill would require the chair of the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors to serve on the board as one of the 2 members from the county board of supervisors. The bill would delete the requirement for the chair of the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors to serve on the board. The bill would also revise the selection of alternate members of the board. Existing law, in order for the SANDAG board to act on any item, generally requires a majority vote of the members present on the basis of one vote per agency as well as a weighted vote pursuant to a speci®ed process, except in the case of consent items. This bill would modify the weighted vote process. Existing law provides for SANDAG to have 4 standing policy advisory committees named the executive, transportation, regional planning, and borders committees. This bill would additionally provide for an audit committee with speci®ed responsibilities, including the appointment of an independent performance auditor. The bill would require SANDAG to submit an annual report to the Legislature, developed by its transportation committee, that outlines various matters related to public transit. Existing law provides for the consolidated agency to prepare a regional comprehensive plan containing various elements, as speci®ed. This bill would require the regional comprehensive plan to address greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets set by the State Air Resources Board and would require the plan to include strategies that provide for mode shift to public transportation. (2) Existing law creates MTS and NCTD, with various public transit responsibilities in the southern and northern parts of the County of San Diego, respectively. Existing law provides for MTS to be governed by a board of 15 members generally consisting of city and county representatives selected by member agencies. Existing law provides that the chairperson of the MTS board is a resident of the County of San Diego selected by the board, as speci®ed.
5 3
This bill would require one of the 4 San Diego City Council members on the MTS board to be the mayor. The bill would grant to the City of Chula Vista a 2nd member, who would be the mayor. The bill would require the chairperson of the MTS board to be selected by the board. The bill would also revise the process for selecting alternate members of the MTS board. Existing law generally provides that of®cial acts of the MTS or NCTD board require the af®rmative vote of the majority of the members of the board, except that a weighted vote of the MTS board may be requested pursuant to a speci®ed process. This bill would create a similar weighted voting process for NCTD and modify the weighted voting process for the MTS. Existing law authorizes various transportation agencies, including SANDAG, to impose a transactions and use tax for transportation 2 purposes within its jurisdiction, subject to approval of ¤3 of the voters and various other requirements. Existing law provides for issuance of bonds backed by these tax revenues, as speci®ed. This bill would additionally authorize MTS and NCTD to individually impose a transactions and use tax within their respective portions of the County of San Diego, with revenues to be used for public transit purposes, as speci®ed, serving their jurisdictions, and to issue bonds backed by these tax revenues, subject to similar requirements. Existing law authorizes the board of the MTS, the NCTD, and the consolidated agency to enter into and perform all necessary contracts to construct or develop property for transit purposes, including, but not limited to, employing labor and doing all acts necessary and convenient for the full exercise of the powers granted to each of these agencies. This bill would prohibit the MTS, the NCTD, and the consolidated agency from entering into a construction contract over $1,000,000 with any entity unless the entity provides to the each agency an enforceable commitment that the entity and its subcontractors at every tier will use a skilled and trained workforce to perform all work on the project or a contract that falls within an apprenticeship occupation in the building and construction trades, except as speci®ed. (3) By imposing additional requirements on local agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
6 4
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

24 AGENDA ITEM NO. 17-07-14 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JULY 28, 2017 ACTION REQUESTED – INFORMATION
2019 SAN DIEGO FORWARD: THE REGIONAL PLAN File Number 3102000 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN
Introduction
The Public Involvement Plan (PIP) (Attachment 1) for the 2019 update to San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (Regional Plan) proposes a wide-ranging and energetic approach for engaging the community in the process of updating the Regional Plan. It includes overall goals for the Regional Plan’s public involvement program, as well as a set of strategies and actions for achieving those goals by involving a broad range of individuals and organizations in the planning and decision-making process.
The Board of Directors reviewed the draft PIP on June 23, 2017. In addition, the draft PIP was released on June 19, 2017, for a 30-day public review and presented to the Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee and Regional Planning Technical Working Group. There were approximately 16 comments and suggestions received during this review process (Attachment 2). In response, several additions have been made to the PIP, and are incorporated in tracked changes in Attachment 1.
Discussion
SANDAG Board Policy 025: Public Participation Plan/Policy provides the foundation for the development of individual public outreach plans for specific programs and projects. The Public Participation Plan sets forth in general terms the agency’s commitment to an open process that provides the public with information, meets state and federal requirements, and creates opportunities for input and engagement in the development/implementation of SANDAG programs and projects.
The PIP for the 2019 update to the Regional Plan starts from that foundation, and then lays out more specific objectives and methods for conducting outreach over the upcoming two-year public process of updating the Regional Plan. The variety of tools included in the PIP are intended to enable SANDAG to provide information, involve communities that traditionally have not participated in public planning efforts, and create opportunities for meaningful engagement with a variety of audiences, including the SANDAG Board of Directors and Policy Advisory Committees, other elected officials, the general public, partner agencies, advocacy groups, and a wide array of other interested stakeholders ranging from the environmental community to the business community, and from service organizations to other government entities.
The outreach tactics included in the PIP are presented as a menu of options. As SANDAG moves forward with the update of the Regional Plan, outreach methods included in that menu of options will be selected depending on the audiences and evolving circumstances. The agency primarily will use the public outreach techniques included in the PIP; however, selections, adjustments, and/or additions may be made based on cost and effectiveness.
The tactics in the PIP are divided into six categories:
• Research: Conduct focus groups, roundtable discussions, and public opinion surveys at the outset of the public involvement program, and continue with similar efforts throughout the process. This research could help gauge initial knowledge and interest, the priorities of the public, key topics, the most effective means of public engagement, and how best to make adjustments along the way.
• Public Information: Create and distribute clear, concise, and engaging information to support public involvement efforts. These materials will have a consistent look and feel, reflecting the branding developed for the Regional Plan, including a website, event booth, multi-media presentation, fact sheet, brochure, public notices, dedicated phone line and email address, frequently asked questions, and general summary of the Regional Plan.
• Face-to-Face Interactions: Make presentations at community events; pop-up booths at everyday locations; seek feedback throughout the process from subregional stakeholder groups led by elected officials from those subregions; outreach to major employers; outreach to youth via high schools and college campuses; presentations and briefings to the SANDAG Board, Policy Advisory Committees, working groups, and member agency councils/planning commissions; informal interviews/briefings with elected officials and key stakeholders; proactive speakers bureau presentations to a variety of organizations throughout the region; and public workshops and open houses, including meetings in Spanish.
• Community-Based Organization (CBO) Network: Employ community collaboratives to act as forums for local institutions, such as churches, schools, health clinics, ethnic groups, and others to discuss issues of common concern. Due to their convening capacities, community collaboratives are critical to the ability of SANDAG to reach out to underrepresented populations that might not otherwise be involved in the process. The CBO selection process is currently under way.
• Web-based outreach: Build on contact list from previous Regional Plan outreach, as well as the agency’s other outreach efforts. Create engaging content targeted and meaningful to the end user in order to interact with that audience using a variety of tools, including: a dedicated Regional Plan website; social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube; boosted social media posts; targeted social media; visualizations; short, informative, informal videos; interactive text messaging; surveys via the website and text messages; text updates; live streaming workshops; customer relationship management tools; regular email updates and e-newsletter.
2 • Media: Seek to inform and engage via earned media, including developing materials and spokespeople (such as members of the Board) in order to proactively: brief reporters; send regular press releases/media alerts to local and regional media; conduct press events; pursue editorial boards, op-eds, and other opinion-based opportunities; take advantage of paid media where appropriate, including print advertising, public service announcements on broadcast media, and online advertising; cultivate media partnerships; outreach to trade publications and stakeholder newsletters.
In addition to these tactics, SANDAG has implemented a government-to-government framework with the tribal nations in the region based on consultation, cooperation, and collaboration. Through the structure in place, which is outlined in the SANDAG Public Participation Plan, a Tribal Consultation Plan for the Regional Plan has been developed (Appendix C of the PIP) for the 2019 Regional Plan.
The PIP calls for analyzing the results of public involvement efforts at key milestones in the planning process through both qualitative and quantitative assessments, and then making adjustments to the program as needed.
There were approximately 16 ideas and requested additions to the PIP received during the 30-day public review period. Staff addressed each comment directly in the attached matrix, and in each case made an addition to the PIP or referred to a section of the PIP that addressed the issue raised. In general, comments fell into one of three categories:
• Requests to be added to the list of stakeholders interested in the Regional Plan development process and notified of outreach/engagement activities.
• Suggestions of specific venues or other outreach opportunities that could be incorporated into the outreach plan.
• Suggestions of specific audiences that would be helpful to seek out during the outreach efforts for the Regional Plan.
Next Steps
After review by the Board, staff will finalize the PIP, post it, and begin its implementation. Going forward, the PIP will serve as a living document, updated according to the evolving needs and circumstances as the agency works its way through the two-year public outreach process for the 2019 update to the Regional Plan.

6 1.0 INTRODUCTION
SANDAG is embarking on a program to involve the public in the update to San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (2019 Regional Plan). Last adopted in October 2015, the Regional Plan combines the big-picture vision for how our region will grow over the next 30 years with an implementation program to help make that vision a reality. The 2019 Regional Plan builds off the 2015 plan by continuing to combine two of the agency’s most important regional policy documents: The Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) and the Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS).
This Public Involvement Plan (PIP) is intended to support the development of the 2019 update to San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan, creating a variety of opportunities for individuals, organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders to provide meaningful input. The PIP has been created based on input obtained throughout the development of the 2015 Regional Plan, including feedback from the SANDAG Board of Directors, Policy Advisory Committees, working groups, tribal governments, surveys, a wide variety of communications experts, and our regional stakeholders and partners, including a network of Community Based Organizations (CBOs).
The PIP was drafted using the guidelines provided by the agency’s overall Public Participation Plan (PPP), which provides the foundation for specific public outreach approaches which were developed to support individual projects and programs. In addition, the PIP addresses state outreach requirements as identified in California Senate Bill 375 (Steinberg, 2008) (SB 375) and from the 2017 RTP Guidelines for MPOs prepared by the California Transportation Commission. The PIP describes efforts that SANDAG will undertake to secure input on: priorities for transportation projects, programs, and services; transportation networks; infrastructure recommendations; funding alternatives; policies and programs; performance measures; achievement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets; and other related issues.
This PIP is intended to be a living document. Because of the fluid nature of public participation, this plan may be updated at major milestones and adjusted in response to issues and circumstances that arise throughout the planning process.
1.1 Background – Regional Plan and its Sustainable Communities Strategy
The Regional Plan is an overarching document that contains several elements, including the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a blueprint for our region’s transportation system that enhances quality of life, promotes sustainability, and offers more mobility choices for people and goods. SANDAG is required under federal law to update the RTP every four years. The current plan was adopted in 2015. The SANDAG Board of Directors is expected to adopt the next update in the fall of 2019.
The 2019 Regional Plan will be the third iteration developed under the requirements of Senate Bill 375 (Steinberg) (SB 375). SB 375 took effect in 2009, and is intended to combat climate change by linking transportation and land use planning to GHG reduction targets for cars and light trucks. SB 375 required the San Diego region to cut 7 percent of per capita emissions from cars and light trucks by 2020, and 13 percent by 2035 (from a 2005 baseline). Per SB 375 legislation, these targets, to be updated/reviewed at least every eight years, are under review by the California Air Resources Board and are expected to be updated in fall 2017. The 2019 Regional Plan will be required to comply with updated targets that may result from the review.
7 SB 375 requires that the Regional Plan include a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). The SCS outlines how the region will meet its GHG reduction targets through the coordination of land use and transportation, including by creating more compact, walkable, bike-friendly, transit-oriented communities, preserving important habitat and agricultural areas, and promoting a variety of Transportation Demand Management and system management tools and techniques to maximize the efficiency of the transportation network.
2.0 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUES
This PIP establishes the framework for a dynamic and interactive process to develop and seek input on the Regional Plan. What follows includes a menu of strategies and techniques that may be used in the public outreach process for the Regional Plan.
2.1 Stakeholder Categories
The following is a list of stakeholder categories and interested parties as defined through State and federal requirements pertaining to the development of the Regional Plan. In addition, see Appendix B for a partial list of individuals and organizations that have traditionally participated in long-range planning outreach efforts. That list will be updated throughout the implementation of the PIP.
• Affordable Housing Advocates • Broad-Based Business Organizations • Commercial Property Interests • Congestion Management Agencies • Environmental Advocates • Home Builder Representatives • Homeowner Associations • Landowners • Neighborhood and Community Groups • Transportation Agencies • Transportation Advocates • Transportation Commissions • Public Ports • Tourism • Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Agencies • Military • Tribal Governments • Air Quality Agencies
8 2.2 Public Involvement Plan Objectives
The primary goal of the PIP for the 2019 Regional Plan is to engage a broad and diverse cross- section of the San Diego region in the development of the plan. Obtaining this input is critical to creating a plan that reflects the varied needs and interests of San Diego County’s residents and businesses.
The objectives of the PIP are as follows:
• Raise awareness of the plan as the region’s updated blueprint that will guide the way as our region grows in the next 30 years
• Gain meaningful input from a broad range of individuals, organizations, agencies, and local governments throughout the Regional Plan development and decision-making process
• Make proactive efforts to involve communities and members of the public that have traditionally not participated in public planning efforts
• Meet or exceed local, state, and federal guidelines and requirements for public involvement in the development of the Regional Plan
• Create an inclusive process that leads to broad support for policies, projects, and programs outlined in the Regional Plan
2.3 Public Involvement Plan Strategies
The following strategies will be implemented to achieve the objectives identified above:
• Provide timely and accessible public information about the Regional Plan to a broad range of regional stakeholders
• Make public information accessible in a variety of formats and languages, use easy-to- understand language and concepts that interested people can related to on a personal level, and use a variety of media, including innovative visualization techniques
• Provide a variety of opportunities for the public to be involved, and use technology to reach stakeholders who may not be inclined to participate in traditional outreach methods
• Use a variety of tactics to bring the conversation to the public, ranging from in-person interactions (such as pop-up outreach in public places) to engagement via technology (such as smart phones and social media platforms)
• Employ a diverse group of spokespeople to communicate with the public regarding the Regional Plan, including Board members, staff, partner agencies, Community-Based Organizations, and interested stakeholders
• Widely promote opportunities for public input to reach a broad and diverse audience • Communicate the decision-making process to stakeholders and indicate how their input is utilized in the development of the plan
• Document and address public comments received during the public involvement process • Disseminate information to related agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and engaged sectors throughout the state of California and the nation
9 • Assess the effectiveness of the PIP at key milestones (i.e., following workshops or release of draft documents) to evaluate how the strategies and tactics worked and what enhancements could be made for future phases
2.4 Public Involvement Plan Techniques and Activities
The PIP proposes six main approaches for implementing the strategies above in coordination with key milestones in the development of the Regional Plan:
• Research: Focus groups, roundtable discussions, public opinion surveys • Public information: Written materials, public notices, Board reports, presentations, summary documents
• Face-to-face interactions: SANDAG Board and committee meetings, briefings, small group meetings, community event information booths, public workshops
• Community-Based Organizations (CBOs): Partnership network with regional CBOs to reach low income and minority communities
• Web-based interactive communications: Website, extensive social media, e-newsletters, text, “virtual” public workshops, visualizations
• Media: Earned media, media partnerships, paid media
2.4.1 Research
In order to gauge public knowledge and opinion about issues related to regional planning, focus groups, roundtable discussions, and public opinion surveys may be conducted at the outset of the public involvement program. This research could help identify key topics and the most effective means of public engagement. Additional focus groups and surveys may be conducted as the planning process unfolds to determine the effectiveness of the outreach effort and identify opportunities for improvement. The information gained from this research could help SANDAG make adjustments, as needed, to optimize the outreach effort and inform future outreach processes. Board or policy committee members could serve as subregional ambassadors for some of these outreach efforts.
2.4.2 Public Information
Create and distribute clear, concise, and engaging information to support public involvement efforts. These materials will have a consistent look and feel, reflecting the branding developed for the plan.
Below is a menu of materials that may be used to provide information about the plan and its components; the development process; why this process is relevant to the region’s residents; and information about how, when, and why stakeholders should get involved. All materials will be written in easy-to-understand terms with limited jargon, and provided in Spanish or other languages/formats as needed. Materials will be distributed via a range of channels, including electronically (e-mail, text, and website); at presentations, meetings, and events; at community locations (libraries, recreation centers, senior centers, and stores); and in the media (both social media and traditional media, including notices and advertisements). Materials will be updated as needed throughout the process.
10 • Project fact sheet: Basic information about the Regional Plan, its components, purpose, timeline, and information on how to get involved. (Translated into Spanish, with translation to other languages available upon request.)
• Project brochure: Engaging images, a summary of opportunities for public involvement, key messages, and basic information about the Regional Plan and its timeline. (Translated into Spanish, with translation to other languages available upon request.)
• Multimedia presentation: An interactive and engaging presentation for speakers bureau opportunities, intended to explain and draw people into the planning process, encouraging individuals and organizations to get involved
• QuickGuide: A brief document outlining the Regional Plan’s goals, objectives, planning investments, and implementation strategy. A graphics heavy document providing a brief summary of the contents of the Regional Plan that is reader friendly and available in both English and Spanish.
• Public notices: Notices for public meetings and opportunities for public comment published via a variety media outlets, advertisements, and printed materials targeting all segments of the region’s population.
• Frequently Asked Questions: Addressing the most common questions about the plan and its components.
• Phone line and e-mail address: A dedicated phone line and e-mail account, providing easy methods for the public to make comments and ask questions.
2.4.3 Face-to-Face Interactions
Public involvement efforts can be used to create opportunities for SANDAG to interact directly with stakeholders in a variety of formats. Translation services will be provided as needed for presentations, public workshops, and events. Face-to-face public outreach opportunities include:
• Presentations to SANDAG Board, Policy Advisory Committees, and Working Groups Presentations to the SANDAG Board, Policy Advisory Committees, and Working Groups throughout the process will provide updates on plan development, share input received from the public, and receive policy direction. These meetings are open to the public and provide ongoing opportunities for discussion and input at multiple stages of the planning process. A wide variety of public stakeholders sit on numerous SANDAG working groups, which range in topic area from energy, to disabled access, to housing, to environmental preservation, and bicycle- and pedestrian-related issues. EncourageRequest that members of all these boardsto share information and seek feedback fromwith their constituencies, encourage them to get engaged in the process, and offer SANDAG their feedback about the Regional Plan. Actively seek the help of these board members in identifying interested stakeholders and organizations, as well as outreach opportunities.
• Stakeholder Interviews/Briefings Conduct informal interviews/briefings with key stakeholders. These interviews/briefings provide an opportunity to share information about the plan and its purpose, as well as seek input about how stakeholder groups would like to be involved in the process and what public involvement strategies are the most effective with their respective constituencies.
11 • Speakers Bureau Engage in a proactive effort to offer presentations about the plan to a variety of organizations throughout the region. These groups may include community planning groups, chambers of commerce, environmental organizations, transportation advocacy groups, community collaboratives, CBOs, ethnic organizations, civic organizations, trade organizations, professional organizations, and others. The purpose of these presentations is to educate the public about the planning process, receive public input, and promote opportunities for public involvement.
• Public Workshops/Open Houses Conduct public workshops/open houses at important milestones during the plan development to solicit input. Online/interactive versions of these public workshops also may be made available. At least one workshop will be conducted in conjunction with the agency’s Baja California counterparts in coordination with the SANDAG Borders Committee and the Committee on Binational Regional Opportunities (COBRO). In addition, a Tribal Summit and tribal consultation activities will be held as part of the development of the Regional Plan. SANDAG Board and policy committee members could serve as event facilitators to help focus the conversation around both regional and local issues.
• Presentations to City Councils, the County Board of Supervisors, and Planning Commissions Seek to make presentations to local city councils, the Board of Supervisors, planning commissions, and other planning-related organizations. Work with SANDAG Board of Directors members to identify other opportunities for engagement through local government agencies.
• Stakeholder Discussion Sessions on Rotating Topics Host regular “stakeholder discussion sessions” addressing various topics and sections of the plan at key milestones during the process. The purpose of these discussion sessions would be to seek high-level input from those who are knowledgeable about the planning process and have specific interests in the plan. While a list of key stakeholders would be developed, these meetings would be open to the public and participants would not be required to attend every meeting. Meeting topics would be determined ahead of time and promoted to the public.
• Participation in Community Events Create a mobile project information booth for use at community events and trade shows. Project information would be available, as well as interactive opportunities for public input, such as mobile kiosks for both educational or survey purposes. For example, an educational project video could run on a loop to provide background information about the planning process, and participants could be provided an opportunity to share their input via an online survey or game using computers at the booth. Events targeting low-income and minority communities would be included to ensure proactive outreach to these audiences.
• Pop-Up Booths Similar to Community event booths, but these pop-up outreach opportunities would take place at everyday public locations such as the grocery store, outside a local library, café, etc., to engage community members traditionally less inclined to participate in the public planning process. This outreach technique affords an opportunity to reach a sector of the public that may not originally have intended to participate in a public planning exercise.
12 • Discussions with Mayors and Councilmembers Reach out to leadership throughout the region to seek feedback, input, and opinions during key milestone phases of plan development. Though presentations will be delivered to both the SANDAG Board of Directors and the Policy Advisory Committees, this extra meeting time could allow decision makers to explore topic areas relevant to their jurisdictions more in depth.
• Sub-Regional Stakeholder Groups Create stakeholder groups within each of our subregions. These groups would meet multiple times throughout the process to discuss various aspects of the Regional Plan and draw out specific feedback. That feedback would be documented and its influence tracked as the plan is developed. These sessions also would serve to educate individuals throughout the community about the Regional Plan, creating a secondary group of knowledgeable people able to disseminate information about the Regional Plan throughout the process, as well as encourage further public involvement. SANDAG board members (or other elected officials) from each subregion could participate in the groups, provide leadership, and help encourage sustained engagement.
• Facilitated Outreach Create a program to engage various organizations in facilitated discussions regarding the Regional Plan. SANDAG would make participation in the program available to organizations throughout the region (such as planning groups, business organizations, service groups, professional organizations, advocacy groups, etc.). A SANDAG facilitator and staff members would attend meetings of each organization multiple times (at the beginning, middle, and end of the plan development process) to discuss various aspects of the Regional Plan and draw out specific feedback. That feedback would be documented and its influence tracked as the plan is developed. These sessions also would serve to educate individuals throughout the community about the Regional Plan, creating a large secondary group of knowledgeable people and organizations able to disseminate information about the Regional Plan throughout the process, as well as encourage further public involvement.
• Outreach to Major Employers and Their Employees Develop and implement an outreach effort aimed at reaching the region’s major employment sectors. “Lunch & Learn” sessions would be scheduled to speak directly to the region’s employees and solicit their input. These informative presentations would provide opportunities for the region’s businesspeople and their employees to learn about the Regional Plan on a lunch break and provide input to SANDAG. Employers from the region’s major employment sectors will be targeted (i.e., hospitals, manufacturing, service industry, biotech, military, etc.).
• Outreach to Partner Agencies Work with partner agencies (transportation sector, energy/climate, ports, environment) to access their audiences in the cross-promotion of project objectives/campaigns. This tactic allows both agencies to build a broader network and highlight the interplay between the Regional Plan and partner agency activities.
• Participation in K-12 School Activities
Reach out to families through K-12 school functions, including parent-teacher associations, school town hall meetings, etc.
13 • Outreach to/through Local Colleges, Universities, and the Region’s Youth Tap into local high schools and colleges/universities to involve youth, either directly or through already existing school classes and programs. Activities could include interactive planning exercises, educational campaigns and toolkits, public interest surveys geared toward youth and higher education students, interactive text campaigns, etc.
2.4.4 Community-Based Organization Network
Community-based organizations, also known as collaboratives, act as forums for local institutions such as churches, schools, health clinics, ethnic groups, and others to discuss issues of common concern. Due to their convening capacities, community collaboratives are critical to the ability of SANDAG to reach out to underrepresented populations who might not otherwise become involved in the process. Collaboratives provide a culturally relevant structure for developing local protocols, crossing language barriers, and structuring meetings. When members of a collaborative begin to make connections between their local concerns and regional planning efforts, they can begin to understand regional planning in a way that is relevant and meaningful to their communities and convey their input into the regional planning process. To help ensure diverse and direct input into the regional plan, SANDAG will continue and broaden its partnership network with CBOs and collaboratives in critical communities of concern throughout the region. Through competitive contracts awarded by SANDAG, CBOs will be provided with resources to engage their communities in the planning process and tasked with implementing outreach programs appropriate to their community context. The primary goal of the Community-Based Partnership Grant program is to engage and encourage diverse, inclusive, and active public participation from stakeholders in specific communities who traditionally may not have been involved in regional public policy planning processes (e.g., low-income, seniors, minorities, persons with disabilities, and other identified populations). Up to 12 CBOs will form the Community-based Partnership Network, working closely with SANDAG staff on the development of involvement techniques in coordination with other agency public involvement activities being undertaken to help prepare the Regional Plan.
2.4.5 Web-Based Interactive Communications
SANDAG will take advantage of a variety of web-based opportunities to provide information and solicit public involvement in the plan development process. Online opportunities will be translated into additional languages as needed. Additionally, SANDAG can take advantage of linking activities between various outreach platforms (simultaneous online and face-to-face survey data collection, etc.). The following web-based tools may be used as part of the outreach process:
• Regional Plan Website The primary portal for all public information about the project. It will include project information, downloadable public information materials, and electronic versions of project documents. The public will have the opportunity to submit comments through the website, take online surveys, and sign up for the e-newsletter. Online Regional Plan social media also will be linked to the website, as will any other interactive tools employed as part of the outreach process.
• Email Updates Send regular email updates to a list of interested stakeholders, informing them about the ongoing process, upcoming meetings and milestones, and opportunities to take part in the development of the plan.
14 • Social Media Engage through Regional Plan pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube to provide information to stakeholders and to receive comments. Social media interactions can include:
o Project videos, TV news coverage about the plan and public involvement process, and videos of public meetings (if available via Regional Plan YouTube channel).
o Public comments and ideas that SANDAG can keep track of through the use of hashtags. Facebook and Instagram can be used for more content-rich posts and to promote events and opportunities for public involvement.
o Boosted posts can help to ensure that the information is shared with wide audience. o Micro-targeting of select groups (transit riders or corridor users, for example) can help reach specific audiences to help tailor messaging and customize interactions.
o Tracking of messages and social media conversation topics to more effectively engage with stakeholders by utilizing different methods (videos, infographics, images, etc.).
o Useful information about existing transportation services (i.e., commute times, construction impacts, etc.) to build social media audience. Those audiences can later be accessed to share information specific to the Regional Plan.
• Interactive Text Messaging For those that opt in, send push-alert style information to those with a mobile device. This tool also serves as a platform to host interactive micro-surveys at major milestones of the Regional Plan update.
• Promote Existing Content Relevant to the Regional Plan Given the wide reach of the Regional Plan, maximize the opportunities to promote existing Working Group, Policy Advisory Committee, and Board staff reports and work efforts to educate the public on the implementation of the current Regional Plan, along with the ongoing work of updating Regional Plan for 2019.
• Visualizations Create visualizations to assist in the planning process, as well as to make the concepts explored in the plan more accessible and easier to understand. Place visualizations on the website.
• Regional plan videos A series of short (30- to 90-second) videos explaining the importance of the plan to the region’s future, why it is relevant to the everyday lives of residents, and how public input will help shape the plan.
• E-newsletter A regular e-newsletter to stakeholders who opt into the Regional Plan interest list describing project updates, promoting opportunities for public involvement, providing a calendar of upcoming events, and featuring links to online survey and social media.
15 • Web and text surveys Develop a series of electronic surveys that could be taken via the website and/or text messaging. These surveys will be posted on the website throughout the plan development process. While not statistically significant, these surveys could provide an interactive way for the public to share opinions and give SANDAG a “snapshot” of what visitors to the website are interested in. Surveys may range from larger sample sizes (thousands) to micro-level depending on the nature and intent behind the survey and desired duration. Take advantage of social media and text- based survey platforms to disseminate these surveys. The surveys could be linked to e-newsletters, promoted in written materials and via the media, and used as an interactive experience at community events.
• Survey Data Use election-related data to understand voter profiles and seek geographic-based input on a variety of Regional Plan topics.
• Virtual Public Workshops Conduct online public workshops offered via the Regional Plan website. These virtual workshops could be available for a finite time (e.g., during the public comment period for the environmental document), and comments submitted would become part of the public record. Participants would be provided with project information via video, online versions of handouts and graphics, and/or online presentations. A user-friendly online system for submitting comments would be developed to make the process as simple as possible for stakeholders who wish to use this feature. Custom virtual workshops could be development or integrated into existing platforms (Facebook Live, or Twitter Town Hall).
• Customer Relationship Management Development of a customer relationship management database to help customize and personalize interactions with the public through all touch points, including meetings, emails, social media, workshops, website experience, etc.
• Telephone Town Hall Meetings Conduct telephone town hall meetings on a regional or subregional scale, bringing together thousands of people in conversations to discuss issues and needs related to the Regional Plan. Involve Board members and other elected officials in the calls to encourage wide participation and provide decision makers with direct feedback from the public.
2.4.6 Media
SANDAG will seek coverage from print, broadcast, and online media to communicate information to a broad audience and promote opportunities for the public to get involved.
• Reporter Briefings Host briefings for reporters covering the Regional Plan development process to inform them of the plan and its purpose and ensure they are made aware of the various efforts to engage the public in the plan’s development.
16 • Distribute regular press releases/media alerts to local and regional media To promote awareness among the media and foster accurate news coverage, distribute press releases and agenda information to local and regional media outlets, including print, broadcast, and online media. Keep reporters updated on the development and key milestones of the Regional Plan. (A media list is included as Appendix A.)
• Press Conferences/Media Availability Coordinate press conferences and media availability opportunities as needed. Convene press conferences to promote unique and newsworthy milestones and events. Coordinate media availability of SANDAG Board members and other officials after key decision-making milestones.
• Media kit (print and online versions): Key background information for the media to encourage accurate and balanced reporting and public education.
• Pursue Editorial Opportunities Seek opportunities to submit editorial comment about the Regional Plan at milestones throughout the plan development process. For example, an op-ed authored by the chair of the SANDAG Board may be submitted at the launch of the public involvement process to emphasize the importance of public input in the development of the plan.
• Paid Media When appropriate, use paid media to promote the planning process and opportunities for public engagement. This may include print advertising, public service announcements on broadcast media, and online advertising that links back to the Regional Plan website.
• Cultivate a Media Partnership Explore the possibility of cultivating a media partnership or partnerships with local news outlets. These partnerships may include exclusive content for the outlet, joint promotions of events and involvement opportunities, and paid media opportunities.
• Use SANDAG Board Members as Media Ambassadors Work with Board members to serve as media ambassadors encouraging the public to engage in the planning process. Board members may be asked to discuss the Regional Plan in media interviews, on morning TV and radio shows, and author editorial commentary.
• Outreach via Trade Publications and Stakeholder Newsletters Work to place articles about the Regional Plan, its development, its content, etc., in related trade publications locally, as well as statewide and nationally. Seek to place notices and articles in the newsletters and other communications of various interested stakeholders, including civic organizations, advocacy groups, and business/professional organizations.
17 3.0 SOCIAL EQUITY, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND COORDINATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES/GOVERNMENTS
3.1 Social Equity and Environmental Justice
Roads, freeways, transit services, and other transportation infrastructure can have a significant effect on the quality of life for a region’s residents by shaping access to housing, jobs, services, and recreational opportunities. Achieving social equity and environmental justice in the context of creating a comprehensive plan for the region is a major goal of SANDAG. It requires making investments that provide all residents, regardless of age, race, color, national origin, income, or physical agility, with opportunities to work, shop, study, be healthy, and play. Without proper planning and development, transportation systems can degrade the quality of life in communities. In addition, the construction of roads, freeways, and rail transit systems has sometimes placed health burdens on lower-income and minority communities. At times, new transportation projects have physically divided communities or impacted access to community services, resulting in social and economic costs. It is important to understand the impacts of transportation and other infrastructure investments on our most vulnerable communities in order to better plan for the future. For these reasons, environmental justice principles and social equity goals are an important consideration in the Regional Plan development process. Promoting social equity and environmental justice in regional planning efforts requires involvement from a wide variety of communities and stakeholders.
The Regional Plan PIP incorporates several approaches for SANDAG to reach low-income and minority groups and others that may face challenges participating in the planning process (such as non-English speakers, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly) to ensure that benefits and burdens are distributed equitably in the region. These techniques include multilingual outreach, public participation conducted in collaboration with community-based organizations, and community planning events that will reach out to communities with high concentrations of low- income or minority residents. SANDAG also will target organizations and media outlets representing these communities to offer information on the Regional Plan, solicit participation and input, and provide a means for communicating with members of these communities. Lists of these organizations and media outlets are included in the media list (Appendix A) and stakeholders list (Appendix B), and will be supplemented while the Regional Plan is under development based on requests from the public and SANDAG awareness of organizations that should be included.
The PIP complies with SANDAG Board Policy No. 025, Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d), the Americans with Disabilities Act (as defined in Title 49, Part 37, of the United States Code), Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice, Executive Order 13166 on Limited English Proficiency, and other relevant laws and guidance to ensure consideration of social equity, environmental justice, and accessibility. SANDAG is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or discriminated against under its projects, programs or activities on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, age, or disability as provided in state and federal law.
Consistent with U.S. Department of Transportation guidance, SANDAG has developed a Language Assistance Plan (LAP) in order to ensure meaningful input opportunities for persons with limited English proficiency. The SANDAG LAP is available on the SANDAG website1 and calls for SANDAG to translate certain vital documents, such as public notices, into Spanish. SANDAG may, at its
1 Language Assistance Plan (August 2015). sandag.org/lap
18 discretion, translate documents into additional languages if the nature of the document and the character of the document’s target audience justify additional translation. The LAP provides further guidance for serving limited English-speaking populations.
3.2 Tribal Consultation
SANDAG has implemented a government-to-government framework with the tribal nations in the region based on consultation, cooperation, and collaboration. Tribal nations now have a voice in the decision-making process in regional planning. Through the structure in place which is outlined in the SANDAG PPP, a Tribal Consultation Plan for the Regional Plan has been developed (attached as Appendix C) for the 2019 Regional Plan. This Tribal Consultation Plan was based on the plan developed for the 2015 Regional Plan, reviewed and updated working with the Interagency Technical Working Group on Tribal Transportation Issues and the Board of Directors of the Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association. A draft plan was brought to the Borders Committee for review and it was approved by the SCTCA Board at its June 2017 meeting. The plan includes: a set of policy area listening sessions, identifies an approach for collaborating on transportation issues, development of a tribal policy paper to serve as the basis for discussion at the San Diego Regional Tribal Summit, a Regional Tribal Summit between the SANDAG and SCTCA Boards to determine areas of cooperation and concern and to identify strategic actions that can be taken on identified policy issues, and process for the review of the Draft and Final 2019 Regional Plan. The Interagency Technical Working Group on Tribal Transportation Issues will provide direct input at key stages of the transportation planning process.
3.3 Coordination with Mexico
SANDAG will coordinate with Mexico through the SANDAG Board of Directors, the Borders Committee, the Transportation Committee, and COBRO, as well as other groups conducting binational work and groups and organizations based in Mexico. SANDAG will engage these groups and conduct other outreach efforts, as needed, to include joint U.S.-Mexico planning collaboration. Some of these efforts will be conducted in Spanish and/or simultaneous translation services will be made available.
3.4 Collaboration with Military
SANDAG will coordinate with various branches of the military throughout the development of the Regional Plan update via the SANDAG Board of Directors, the Regional Planning Committee, and the Regional Military Working Group. SANDAG will proactively engage these groups to address mutual planning interests including growth management, habitat, transportation, regional growth, housing, water, energy, and other related topics.
3.5 Coordination with California Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Air Quality, and Regional Transportation Planning Agencies
SANDAG will collaborate and exchange information with the Southern California Association of Governments, other metropolitan planning organizations, and regional transportation planning agencies, as well as the California Air Resources Board, on the GHG emission reduction target- setting process and other SB 375 efforts. SANDAG will carry out air quality planning mandates in cooperation with the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District, including conducting interagency consultation for air quality conformity. In addition, SANDAG will coordinate with member agencies and other local governments to disseminate information about the plan development process and encourage public participation.
19 4.0 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN ASSESSMENT
To assess the effectiveness of the Regional Plan PIP, SANDAG will analyze the results of public involvement efforts conducted at key milestones in the plan development process. These reviews will help SANDAG evaluate public involvement strategies and techniques, and make adjustments as needed. These reviews will include:
• A summary of all outreach efforts and input received • A qualitative assessment of how effective the efforts to obtain input were (i.e., audiences or stakeholders reached, the type of input provided by the stakeholders needed for development of the Regional Plan, etc.)
• A quantitative assessment of the public involvement effort, including the number of meetings/ presentations/events participated in, website hits, number of survey responses, approximate number of people reached, number of comments received, and number of media contacts/ amount of media coverage
• Monitor and track the following public outreach metrics

35 APPENDIX C: 2019 REGIONAL PLAN – TRIBAL CONSULTATION PLAN
1. Kick-off and Assessment • Convene an informational workshop on the content of San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (Regional Plan) to establish familiarity with the existing Regional Plan and the role of tribal nations in the regional context.
• Format: Specially convened meeting or incorporated into a Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association (SCTCA) Board meeting
2. Convene Leadership Meetings between SANDAG and SCTCA • Engaging the tribal leaders in a smaller setting will enable the leadership to get to know each other prior to the San Diego Regional Tribal Summit (Summit) in April 2018 and facilitate a meaningful dialogue, which can inform the Tribal Consultation Plan for the 2019 Regional Plan, as well as other regional issues such as transportation funding strategies.
3. Policy Area Listening Sessions • Convene series of workshops in summer/fall 2017 to discuss the tribal perspective on collaborative regional policy areas (non-transportation) identified in the Regional Plan including:
Cultural Resources Economic Development
Energy Environmental Conservation
• These listening sessions would gather subject matter experts from as many of the tribes as possible to meet with SANDAG subject matter experts and generate a dialogue on issues of common concern and potential collaborative strategies for consideration.
• The results from the listening sessions would be brought to the SCTCA Board and SANDAG Borders Committee for discussion, and incorporated into the Summit policy paper.
4. Transportation Issues Collaboration • The Interagency Technical Working Group on Tribal Transportation Issues (Working Group) would serve as the Advisory Group for the transportation elements of the Regional Plan and implementation of the Intraregional Tribal Transportation Strategy developed as a near-term action of the Regional Plan.
• At key decision-making points for the 2019 Regional Plan, the Working Group will provide recommendations to the SCTCA for tribal consideration and relay this input to the SANDAG Transportation Committee through their representation on that Policy Advisory Committee.
• The Working Group will provide a forum for action related to the transportation issues in the Regional Plan, including the inclusion of Long-Range Tribal Transportation Plans in the Regional Plan.
36 5. Develop Tribal Policy Paper for Regional Plan
• Based on the outcomes of the series of policy workshops and the Working Group, SANDAG/SCTCA staff will prepare a policy paper on the tribal perspective for the Regional Plan.
• The paper will be taken to the SCTCA Board and Borders Committee for review and comment.
• The policy paper will serve as the basis for discussion at the Summit.
6. Convene San Diego Regional Tribal Summit
• At a timely and meaningful moment in the process of developing the 2019 Regional Plan, the Summit will be convened between the Boards of SANDAG and the SCTCA to discuss key policy issues for inclusion in the Regional Plan and a potential collaborative agenda.
• The discussion will include collaborative strategies and strategic actions that can be taken on identified policy issues.

Mayor Dedina commented that the traditional public outreach techniques are out of date and that staff June 23, 2017 SANDAG should be pursuing a more modernized approach, such as outreach at pop-up events/gatherings like See section 2.4.3 on page 8, 6 6/23/2017 Serge Dedina City of Imperial Beach Page 8 Board of Directors Meeting concerts, rodeos, surf contests, etc. This approach would potentially garner input from individuals less likely Participation in Community Events. to participate in traditional forms of government outreach.

I have attended a couple of your organization’s public comment meetings at your office on Taylor Street. At each meeting the impression I was left with was that the meetings were more about SANDAG selling a current plan to the public rather than asking for the public’s input. Now that I, and the public, have been given access to the truth about you organization ( http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/government/a- See Section 2.2 Public Involvement 10 6/20/2017 email readers-guide-to-the-sandag-scandal/ ) I find it difficult to waste my time attempting to give you public Hugh Moore Page 5 Plan Objectives. comment since it is clear that your organization’s real intent is to lie to the public and support an agenda that does not support the public good. Your current request for public comment can only be considered a farce and until the executive leadership of your organization resigns it is useless to ask the public to give you any input.
It appears the draft PIP is very well thought out and covers many options for San Diego County residents to obtain data and provide input. I especially like the option of notification and input via digital email rather than hearings or meetings. I, personally, would be more comfortable sending an email than attending See Section 2.4.5 Web-Based 11 6/19/2017 email Richard Sheresh Page 10 meetings due to problems with a physical disability. I believe email opinions, although usually not as Interactive Communications dramatic as a meeting, still offer a resident voice in the process. I hope there is the same weight given to email opinions as meeting or hearing opinions. Thank you for the email option.
In reviewing the draft I would like to see as a stakeholder the San Diego bicycling community.

Since 2015 I feel no safer riding my bicycle in San Diego. I’ve been considering an e-bike "Encourage members to share 12 6/20/2017 email Steve Sampiere Page 7 for our family so we can reduce the number of car trips we do locally and I have not moved forward with my information..." purchase as I’m concerned for the safety of my family when riding a bike in San Diego. In fact, I’m so concerned that I do not advocate riding a bike to my family and friends as it is so dangerous to ride in San Added Swami's Bike Club and Solana Diego. Every day I ride I typically have some sort of unsafe interaction with a motorist due to unsafe riding Beach Cycling Club to Appendix B: conditions in San Diego.
