Federal

Safe and Complete Streets Act of 2011 (HR 1780 & S 1056)

On May 5, 2011, Representatives Matsui and LaTourette of California introduced HR 1780, the Safe and Complete Streets Act of 2011, on the U.S. House floor. On May 24, 2011, Senator Harkin of Iowa and several other senators introduced a companion bill, S 1056, on the U.S. Senate floor. These bills were crafted to ensure that all users of the transportation system, including bicyclists, pedestrians, children, transit users, older adults, and disabled people, are able to travel safely and conveniently on the nation’s roadways. At present, the bills remain in committee awaiting approval to be reviewed by their respective whole legislative bodies.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legislation prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Other Federal laws which affect the design, construction, alteration, and operation of facilities include the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These laws apply to all Federally-funded facilities. The ADA applies to facilities, both public (Title II) and private (Title III), which are not Federally-funded. Newly constructed and altered facilities covered by Titles II and III of the ADA must be readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. In July 1999, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) issued an Accessibility Policy Statement pledging a fully accessible and multimodal transportation system. Accessibility in Federally-assisted programs is governed by the USDOT regulations (49 CFR part 27) implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794).

California Vehicle Code

The California Vehicle Code was most recently updated in January 2015. The code contains state statutes governing vehicle ownership, registration, and operation. Bicycles are one classification of vehicle that is defined and regulated by this legislation.

California Complete Streets Act of 2008

On September 30, 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill (AB) 1358, the California Complete Streets Act of 2008. Complete streets are characterized in the act in terms of a “balanced, multimodal transportation network.” Upon any substantive revision of the circulation element of their general plans, local jurisdictions are required by this law to plan for a network that “meets the needs of all users of streets, roads, and highways, defined to include motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, and users of public transportation, in a manner that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan” (Gov. Code § 65302(b)).

California Streets and Highways Code (Section 890-894.2)

This section of California Code is also known as the California Bicycle Transportation Act. This legislation establishes the responsibilities of State and local agencies with regard to bicycle safety, signage, traffic control, right-of-way, and other matters related to non-motorized and particularly bicycle transportation. The California Bicycle Act establishes minimum efforts in data collection and planning that local government must accomplish to remain compliant. The State also maintains a State Transportation Fund allocation called the Bikeway Account. These funds are dedicated to the construction and maintenance of bicycle facilities.

The Placer County Regional Transportation Plan and Sacramento Area Council of Governments Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy

The Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) developed and adopted the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). As the forum for making decisions about the regional transportation system in Placer County, the PCTPA develops and adopts various plans and strategies that serve to not only make the best use of State and Federal transportation funds, but also to fulfill the requirements of the agency’s State designation as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for Placer County. Regional Transportation Plan documents the policy direction, actions, and funding recommendations that are intended to meet the short- and long- range transportation needs of Placer County. The PCTPA is part of a larger metropolitan planning jurisdiction (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties), which is coordinated by SACOG. The PCTPA’s two most recent RTPs are incorporated into SACOG’s regional planning processes through the 2012 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS).

Placer County Regional Bikeway Plan

As the regional transportation planning agency for Placer County, the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) developed and adopted the Placer County Regional Bikeway Plan in 2002. The plan was established to provide a regional system of bikeways for transportation and recreational purposes. The plan focuses on regional connectors and key routes to provide access to activity centers within the county.

Placer County Transition Plan for County-Maintained Roadways

Placer County adopted a Transition Plan to comply with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990. The plan was conducted as a self-evaluation of all handicap ramps within the county and created a database rating each ramp within the county to identify deficiencies. The plan identified a list of priorities for ramp upgrades and developed a capital improvement list to make modifications, repairs, and/or replacements.

SECTION 3.5 RAILWAYS FACILITIES Existing Conditions

In California, Amtrak operates all State-supported intercity rail services. Caltrans provides operating funds to Amtrak for the in-state rail services. Amtrak operates three in-state routes: Capital Corridor (Auburn to San Jose), San Joaquin (Bay Area/Sacramento to Bakersfield), and Pacific Surfliner (San Luis Obispo to San Diego). These routes connect with each other and with Amtrak’s four long-distance train routes that link California to other states. The Capital Corridor provides one daily round trip train service between Auburn and Sacramento.

The Civic Center Amtrak station in Roseville is the nearest rail station that connects the SIA to the regional rail services. There are two daily trains currently running between Sacramento- Roseville-Auburn with a plan for potential service increase. The rail station can be accessed from the SIA using a fixed-route bus service operated by the City of Roseville. Park-and-ride lots at all three Amtrak stations in Placer County have been experiencing overflow for daily commuters. These lots have recently expanded their capacity.

Within the SIA, Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR) owns the right-of-way for both passenger and freight rail services and operates freight trains through Placer County. Current rail network serves freight transport between the area and other regions in California, as well as 22 other states. The Roseville Yard, located in the city of Roseville just south of the project site, is the largest rail facility on the U.S. west coast, with a capacity of 1,800-2,300 cars per day on eight receiving and departure tracks. Figure 3-10 shows the existing rail network in the SIA.

State

California State Rail Plan

Caltrans prepares the California State Rail Plan every two years in accordance with Section 14036 of the California Government Code, which serves as an examination of passenger and freight rail transportation in the state of California. The State rail system combines intercity, commuter, and freight rail. Intercity rail includes State-supported corridor routes and Amtrak long distance routes. All three systems share the same infrastructure that is generally owned by private railroads, and in some cases, public entities. The State Rail Plan focuses on these rail systems because they share the same infrastructure. The State supports the Pacific Surfliner between San Diego and San Luis Obispo, the San Joaquin between Bay Area/Sacramento and Bakersfield, and the Capitol Corridor between San Jose and Auburn. Services intended to meet primarily local needs are developed as commuter and urban rail services rather than intercity. In California, Amtrak currently operates all State-supported intercity rail services under provisions of the Federal Rail Passenger Service Act (49 U.S.C. 24101).

California Passenger Rail System: 20-Year Improvement Plan

Amtrak conducted a major community-based planning initiative that identified rail corridor needs for the statewide rail network. This planning process aimed to achieve a statewide consensus on passenger rail planning, enhance a complementary relationship between growing passenger and freight rail services, and promote sustained sources of funding for rail corridor development. This report includes the following:

. Describes the 20-year vision of each corridor in terms of service expansion, increased speeds, trip time, operational reliability, capacity and ridership; . Lists the improvements to achieve the corridor’s goal; and . Identifies required funding for infrastructure and rolling stock at the project and corridor level.

SECTION 3.6 GOODS MOVEMENT Existing Conditions

Interstate freeways, transcontinental railways, a deep-water shipping channel, and major airports give Placer County easy access to many major markets and facilitate easy goods movement. Most freight transportation in Placer County is provided by truck mode. Various transportation elements that promote freight in the region are discussed below.

Highways

Highways provide direct access from Placer County to surrounding regions, placing cities such as San Francisco, Reno, and Salt Lake City within one day’s travel. Access via I-80 and more than 820 miles of connected highways permit rapid goods movement. SR 65 provides access from I-80 north to Lincoln and Marysville. I-5 links Placer County with Oregon and Washington in the north, and Los Angeles and San Diego in the south. Highway 99 travels north and south through the agricultural regions of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley.

Within the SIA, there is existing terminal access (STAA) truck route designation for Blue Oaks Boulevard, Foothills Boulevard, and Industrial Avenue that can provide access for trucks exceeding the California length limit. Fiddyment Road is designated as an existing California legal truck route. Figure 3-11 presents existing truck routes within the study area. Highway 65 and Placer Parkway provide direct truck access and help with goods movement. I-80 provides indirect access for the SIA that allows truck traffic to travel through Placer County. Athens Avenue is currently serving as a major truck route for Western Regional Sanitary Landfill operated by Western Placer Waste Management Authority. It is expected that a completion of future Placer Parkway will diverge the truck traffic from Athens Avenue.

Airports

Airports connect Placer County to the greater northern America and beyond. The region is served by two international airports (Sacramento International Airport and Reno/Tahoe International Airport) and one air cargo airport (Mather Airport). In addition, Lincoln Regional Airport, Auburn Municipal Airport, and Tahoe-Truckee Airport provide general and corporate aviation.

Port of West Sacramento

The Port of West Sacramento is an operating, deep-water port that offers a complete line of services to both shippers and receivers of cargo. Its location near I-80 and I-5 gives trucks easy access. Major transcontinental railways also serve the Port, operating on the Port’s own track

SIA PLAN UPDATE system. Additionally, the Port of West Sacramento provides environmental protection, enabling it to handle many sensitive cargoes.

Railroad Facilities

Railroad facilities for freight are owned by Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR). UPRR owns the right-of-way and operates a 915-acre rail yard in Roseville that provides east-west transcontinental freight services. It is also a major freight classification facility for northern California.

Trucking Services

Trucking services are well established and support the reputed agricultural industry in the region. They move the majority of produce from fields to processing plants. Additionally, trucking services support the Greater Sacramento Area’s manufacturing base by transporting goods produced by the industries in the region. Trucks serve other businesses that send and receive daily shipments, making it clear that trucking is a major transportation service component available in Placer County.

Regulatory Setting

Federal

Surface Transportation Assistance Act

The 1982 Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) designates certain routes to allow large trucks to operate on the interstate and certain primary routes; collectively, these are called the National Network. These routes, referred to as STAA routes, call for providing turning radii that can accommodate movements by large, articulated trucks.

Revenues for Major Improvements

Regional Road Network

Placer County developed the 2027 Regional Transportation Plan (September 2005) that includes short- and long range projects that the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) can be funded within the 20-year time frame. Through 2027, the funding applicable to regional roads are from Federal, state, and local sources. These sources are as follows:

. Federal – Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), (Transportation Enhancement Activities Program (TEA), and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ). . State – Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). . Local – Local Transportation Fund (LTF), fuel tax subventions, and traffic impact fees (including the County fee program and additional fees from the Tier II fee programs, including those of the SPRTA for regional improvements, the Placer Parkway fee on new development areas, and the SR 65 JPA fee for interchange improvements on SR 65).

Based on current law, policy, and projected economic activity, a total revenue forecast for regional roadway network during the planning period is $510 million, which can be broken down by committed funding sources as follows:

. RSTP - $52 million . RTIP and TEA - $224 million . Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) - $109 million . Regional Impact Fee - $125 million

Transit

Transit improvement projects are eligible for LTF, FTA Section 5307, and FTA Section 5311 funds. The LTF estimates a total of $746 million over 20 years for transit purpose. The FTA Section 5307 fund is used primarily for capital transit purchase for urbanized areas, which is estimated to be $26M over twenty years. The FTA Section 5311 fund is for the rural area of
