8 Agenda Item 6 February 10, 2021

DATE: February 2, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Daryl K. Halls RE: Executive Director’s Report –February 2021

The following is a brief status report on some of the major issues and projects currently being advanced by the Solano Transportation Authority (STA). An asterisk (*) notes items included in this month’s Board agenda. State Legislative Update * Josh Shaw and Matt Robinson, STA’s State Advocates, are scheduled to visit the STA Board at this meeting to discuss state priorities for 2021 and to provide an update from Sacramento. Staff is recommending positions of support for ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) – majority vote for local infrastructure measures and SB 44 (Allen) –CEQA streamlining.

Five New Board Alternates Join STA * Six new Board Alternates have been designated to join the STA and are scheduled to be sworn in at the meeting. The new Board Alternates are: Jim Ernest (Dixon), David Hampton (Rio Vista), Wanda Williams (Suisun City), Nolan Sullivan (Vacaville), and Pippin Dew (Vallejo).

Funding of Solano Rail Hub PSR * In follow up to last month’s Board designation of the Suisun Fairfield Amtrak Station as the Solano Rail Hub consistent with the State Rail Plan, staff is recommending the Board authorize funding for the preparation of a Project Study Report (PSR) for the project site that will scope out the 3rd track for the station and improved pedestrian and bicycle access.

Adoption of Five Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) and Four Transit Coordination Working Papers * Over the past year, STA staff and a consultant team (Jim Moore Methods and project manager Jim McElroy) developed in partnership, with local transit staff, updated Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) for the five transit operators located in Solano County. This is a transit coordination requirement by MTC to be conducted by STA. All five transit operators have adopted their respective individual local SRTPs. Concurrently, the same consultant team has developed four working papers on the subjects identified by the STA Board. These include: 1. Operation and Performance of the SolanoExpress System, 2. Connectivity between the Regional and Local Transit Networks, 3. Access to Medical Providers and Services, and 4. Transit Access and Connecting Communities to Priority Development Areas and Future Priority Production Areas.

SolanoExpress Blue and Green Line Service Changes * STA staff has worked with staff from Solano County and Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST) to monitor the ridership and performance of the SolanoExpress service which has been impacted by the CoVID 19 Pandemic resulting in lost ridership and lower farebox revenues. Working specifically with FAST’s modifications to both the Blue Line and Green Express are

9 Executive Director’s Memo February 2, 2021 Page 2 of 2

recommended that will lessen the service hours on Saturday for Blue Line, adjust the timing for one of the Green Express runs and provide for sweeper buses in support of COVID 19 safety protocols. Staff will present at the Board meeting as part of a public hearing.

Connected Mobility Scope of Work * Over the past year, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has coordinated a regional Blue Ribbon Transit Recovery Task Force (BRTRTF) that is focused on developing a Transformative Action Plan to guide the recovery and future funding of the region’s transit system and 25 plus transit operators, including the five local transit operators that operate in Solano County. STA staff has prepared a draft scope of work called the Connected Mobility Implementation Plan that covers the regional goals of the BRTRTF and a number of the objectives and services underway within Solano County.

Request to Designate Solano Housing Investment Partnership (SolHIP) as County Collaborative for Solano County * STA planning staff has been working with all seven cities, the County, and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to support efforts to update the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for Solano County, provide consultant assistance for housing element updates for five of the cities and the County, and providing technical assistance and grant opportunities for affordable housing projects located in priority development areas adjacent to regional transit services. This partnership effort has been labeled SolHIP. All seven cities and the County have joined the SolHIP. Recently, ABAG has developed its regional funding plan to help fund these continuing efforts at the county level through “County Collaboratives,” such as SolHIP. Staff is recommending the Board authorize a request be submitted to the Solano County Board of Supervisors designating the SolHIP as the County Collaborative for Solano County to enable this partnership to continue.

Allocation of BAAQMD TFCA Funds for FY 2021-22 * Staff is recommending the Board approve the allocation of Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22. This includes funding for Solano Mobility programs ($175,000), continued implementation of electric vehicle chargers ($100,000), plus a call for projects for the remaining $124,779 of funding.

A. Solano Mobility Study for Older Adults and People with Disabilities Project Funding Priorities Recommended by CTSA Debbie McQuilkin reported that earlier this year, the STA Board dedicated $125,000 of State Transit Assistance Funds (STAF) for mobility priorities to be identified by the STA’s Consolidated Transit Services Agency (CTSA) for older adults and persons with disabilities. She noted that the CTSA met on two separate occasions to review and discuss a range of mobility programs. At their meeting of December 3, 2020, the CTSA unanimously recommended funding for six priority programs totaling $125,000.

Board/Public Comments: Board Member Young asked about the medical equipment to transport non-ambulatory individuals as outlined in Priority Project A and if it would be Uber or Lyft vehicles. Debbie McQuilkin responded by explaining that it may be an option in the future, but staff is looking at other ways to contract with actual non-emergency medical vehicles such as Murphy Medical, and Wheel Care Express to provide the non-ambulatory rides; however, at this time, they would not be as “on-demand” as Uber or Lyft, but would require advance booking.

George Gwynn, member of the public, commented that the restrooms at the Fairfield Train Station is not ADA compliant.

Recommendation: Approve the allocation of $125,000 of STAF funds to the priority projects as recommended by the Consolidated Transit Service Agency (CTSA) and shown in Attachment D (Option B).

On a motion by Board Member Spering, and a second by Board Member Price, the STA Board approved the recommendation unanimously by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bird, Kott, McConnell, Price, Rowlett, Spering, Wilson, and Young NAYS: None ABSENT None ABSTAIN None

B. Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) Nexus Study Update Erika McLitus presented the final recommended scope of projects approved by the STA TAC at their December 16, 2020 meeting for the RTIF Nexus Study Update. She identified them as Working Group 2: Airport Rd (Rio Vista) and Bike/Pedestrian Crossing to the Suisun-Fairfield Train Station (Suisun); Working Group 4: West Texas Complete Streets Project (Fairfield); Working Group 5: Parkway Blvd Overcrossing (Dixon).

Board/Public Comments: None.

Recommendation: Approve the following: 1. Final scope of projects for inclusion in the RTIF Nexus Study; and 2. Authorize the Executive Director to enter into a contract not-to-exceed $20,000 45,000 for the Nexus Study Update.

17 On a motion by Board Member Spering, and a second by Board Member Kott, the STA Board approved the recommendation unanimously as amended shown above in bold italics by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bird, Kott, McConnell, Price, Rowlett, Spering, Wilson, and Young NAYS: None ABSENT None ABSTAIN None

11. ACTION NON-FINANCIAL

A. Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) Rail Feasibility Study This item was presented by STA’s Planning Assistant, Kathrina Gregana and STA’s Project Consultant, David Kutrosky with DKS Services.

Kathrina Gregana introduced the item by providing an overview to staff’s recommendation to approve the Study and to designate the Suisun-Fairfield Station as the location of the future Solano Rail Hub Station Project, as recommended by the Feasibility Study. She also noted that STA staff is working on a funding plan to cover the cost of additional services for a Project Study Report (PSR) and will return to the STA Board in February with a funding recommendation.

David Kutrosky presented the SMART Extension Feasibility Report and identified the Suisun- Fairfield Station as the Solano Mobility Rail Hub. He reviewed key findings, conceptual layout, funding opportunities and next steps to maintain coordination with STA, Suisun City , Fairfield, CCJPA and CalSTA for hub siting and development.

Board Member/Public Comments: Board Member McConnell conveyed concerns regarding the proposal, and he commented that he does not foresee anything that would benefit Vallejo residents who are in poverty level in southern Solano County. He added that if a rail hub center is being considered in Suisun, he noted that we would have to have rail spurs in the cities of Benicia and Vallejo citing that without them, the City of Vallejo would economically spiral down further. He added that he was contacted by the Sierra Club who voiced concerns indicating that they were not given enough time to review the proposal and that he has not discussed the proposal with City staff. For the purposes of having a more in-depth review process, Board Member McConnell made a motion for a 60-day continuance on this item to March 10, 2021. The motion was seconded by Board Member Young with questions about rail service to Benicia.

At this time, prior to entertaining the motion made, Chair Rowlett opened the floor for questions.

Board Member Spering noted that he does not support the motion and would like to make a substitute motion after further discussion. He commented that we are not doing anything to preclude rail spurs at all and that this is just the first step. He added that it would not make sense to delay this given the amount of work already done for several years. He continued by asking Board Member McConnell if the City of Vallejo has done a feasibility study for that corridor as basis for the rail spur? Board Member McConnell responded and said that the City has not done a feasibility study due to the lack of staff, however it is also a matter of predominant concern among the citizens of Vallejo who feel excluded. Board Member Spering then cited that it would make more sense if Board Member McConnell made a motion to add that STA work with the City of Vallejo to analyze the corridor and facilitate a feasibility study, but to suggest

18 delaying this is unreasonable. Board Member McConnell responded that he agrees to do a feasibility study and understands Board Member Spering’s comment not to delay the project, however he is only suggesting more time to not exclude 120,000 residents including residents from the City of Benicia. Therefore, he supports Board Member Spering’s substitute motion and not STA’s staff recommendation as presented. Board Member Spering continued by commenting that it is unfair to make such a statement that south county is being excluded when you look at the commitment the STA Board has made of the investments from the Regional Measures 2 and 3 (RM2 and RM3) with the millions of dollars that have been put into Vallejo, the STA Board is sensitive to the needs of the disadvantaged communities and to portray that this Board is not concerned about that is disingenuous. At this time, Board Member McConnell withdrew his motion and supported the substitute motion made by Board Member Spering.

Board Member Wilson commented she supported Board Member Spering’s motion and noted that former Vallejo Mayor Bob Sampayan, supported by former Benicia Mayor Elizabeth Patterson, and voted unanimously by the Board, to add a review and discussion regarding Vallejo and incorporating this study in the state plan, and feels that Vallejo staff had plenty of time to explore and begin work in concert with STA to bring this to fruition.

Board Member Young asked if tracks need to be installed to the proposed route from Marin and Solano? Board Member Spering responded and explained that it is an existing right of way that is currently being used by a freight railroad which is a financial benefit. He added that it is a direct link from Suisun to Napa (along the State Route (SR) 12 and SR 29) to Sonoma then into Marin County. Board Member Young asked if Napa is part of this feasibility study, and Robert Guerrero clarified that the study focused on SMART Rail stops in Solano County and not in Napa County. He also clarified that the proposed route from Marin to Solano focuses on the tracks that align along SR 12 which wraps around the San Pablo Bay. David Kutrosky added that previous study showed interest from commuters traveling west during peak service hours.

Public Comment Submitted via Email: Board Member Young asked about the public comment submitted via email by Michael Zeiss as quoted below:

“Michael Zeiss submitted a public comment addressing his support in the designation of the Suisun-Fairfield Amtrak Station as the future SMART terminal. In his public comment submitted to the STA Board under separate cover, he indicated two recommendation for the plans to upgrade the station. (1) The current proposal includes construction of a new tunnel for pedestrians and bicycles, to connect downtown Suisun and downtown Fairfield. I recommend that an above-ground connection be considered instead. A tunnel strikes me as a potentially dangerous place, where assaults could occur out of site of law enforcement. Even now, as a 6-ft- tall male, I feel uneasy walking the above-ground walkway that links the station to downtown Fairfield. The existing "cage" of chain-link fencing seems dangerously isolated. A tunnel would be even worse. A separate problem is, a tunnel seemingly would be at risk of flooding as sea levels continue to rise. (2) The current proposal includes increased vehicle parking, which obviously would be needed. I recommend that the proposal be amended or expanded to also include an improved roadway connection for vehicles between downtown Suisun and downtown Fairfield. Currently, the circuitous roadway connection is perhaps the greatest barrier to economic prosperity for Suisun's waterfront. Bringing in additional traffic to the station, without streamlining the roadway connection, might make Suisun's waterfront an even less appealing destination for potential retail customers.”

19 Below is the quoted response submitted via email by STA staff:

“Thank you for providing your input on the Solano Transportation Authority’s (STA) Sonoma- Marin Rail Transit (SMART) Rail Feasibility Study. You commented on your desire for the future station improvements to consider above ground bicycle and pedestrian connection as well as parking and roadway connections between the two cities. We appreciate your feedback and will study these options as part of our next step to develop the Project Study Report (PSR) for the station improvements. We plan to have public workshops as we move forward with the PSR and would like to invite you to attend and stay informed.”

At this time, Board Member Spering moved staff’s recommendation to include that STA staff work with the City of Vallejo to study and consider analyzing the connections that run through the City and in its unincorporated areas as requested by Board Member McConnell.

Recommendation: Approve the following: 1. SMART Rail Feasibility Study as shown in Attachment A; 2. Designation of the Suisun-Fairfield Capitol Corridor Station as the location of the future Solano Rail Hub Station Project, as recommended by the Feasibility Study; and 3. STA staff work with the City of Vallejo to study and consider analyzing the connections that run through the City and in its unincorporated areas.

On a motion by Board Member Spering, and a second by Board Member Wilson, the STA Board approved the recommendation as amended shown above in bold italics by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bird, Kott, McConnell, Price, Rowlett, Spering, Wilson, and Young NAYS: None ABSENT None ABSTAIN None

B. Legislative Update and STA’s 2021 Legislative Platform Vincent Ma reported that no comments were received during the public review period, therefore he recommended the Board approve the STA’s 2021 Legislative Platform.

Board/Public Comments: None.

Recommendation: Approve the STA’s 2021 Legislative Platform.

On a motion by Board Member Wilson, and a second by Board Member Young, the STA Board approved the recommendation by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bogue, Kott, Price, Rowlett, Sampayan, Spering, Wilson, and Young NAYS: None ABSENT None ABSTAIN None

20 C. Solano State Route (SR) 37 Public Access Plan Kathrina Gregana presented and identified public access opportunities located in close proximity to the SR 37 Corridor and Mare Island. She added that as part of the environmental phase of the State Route (SR) 37 Interim Congestion Relief Project, STA staff worked with the County of Solano, City of Vallejo, the Solano Land Trust and a group of community stakeholders to identify public access opportunities located in close proximity to the SR 37 corridor and Mare Island.

She briefly outlined the next steps for this work after the adoption of the public access plan by the STA Board, which include developing cost estimates and more detailed information on the proposed projects, prioritizing and developing funding implementation plans for the public access proposals, and continuing to explore education opportunities. She emphasized that there will be opportunities for public engagement at this next stage of the work.

Public Comment Submitted via Email: Joe Feller, Chair of the Sierra Club Solano Group, submitted a comment letter via email to the STA Board. The content of the letter is quoted as follows: “The Sierra Club was informed at a PEL meeting on December 18th of the proposal by STA to add a “public access” proposal to the Highway 37 project. These access points would be entirely included within the City of Vallejo. The Sierra Club Solano Group has begun a review of the proposal included in your packet for the January 13th upcoming meeting. Due to the short time frame, the holidays and the limitations we all face in these difficult times; the Sierra Club Solano Group requests that this proposal be removed from the agenda for immediate approval.

We would like to weigh in at a more appropriate time after we have a number of questions addressed that a preliminary review has highlighted. We will forward those concerns after our in-depth review to the STA staff so you can have them all at once and we don’t waste staff time. We would also like to point out that there is no report from City of Vallejo’s staff even though the City is listed as a partner. As you may be aware, we have a new Mayor and a number of new Council members who also may wish to weigh in on this project.”

Below is STA’s response submitted via email to Mr. Feller: Thank you for submitting your comments regarding the Solano Transportation Authority’s (STA) State Route (SR) 37 Public Access Plan. Your comment letter has been provided to our STA Board members and will be referenced during tonight’s STA Board meeting as part of this discussion topic. The Plan is our first step in identifying potential public access projects along the SR 37 corridor within Solano County. We had a wide range of stakeholders that participated in the development of the document, including staff from the City of Vallejo. We have also had an recent opportunity to brief Mayor Robert McConnell regarding the Plan’s purpose and next steps. We appreciate your thoughts on this subject and would like to invite you to future stakeholder working group meetings. We have your contact information and will reach out to you to keep you informed if you cannot attend. The projects and the Plan are not static and will continue to evolve throughout this process. We anticipate other opportunities for public input as we scope out the plan’s identified projects, as well as when the projects are prioritized for implementation.”

21 Board/Additional Public Comments: Based on the public comment quoted above, Board Member Young asked if staff has consulted with the City of Vallejo. Kathrina Gregana responded yes and that they are part of the stakeholder group and they have addressed a lot of the proposals noted in the memo. Robert Guerrero added that there is participation since the start of the process, however the public comment was referring to any published reports by the City itself and STA staff has been working directly with the City.

Board Member McConnell commented that though he has not had an opportunity to discuss with City staff, but received adequate information from the SR 37 Policy Committee that met last week, the one issue that was raised to him today was the kayak location on Wilson Avenue. Robert Guerrero responded that most of the projects listed in the study have been projects identified in different sources, and the kayak location was recognized as part of the Bay Area water trail and STA staff will explore other public access options with City staff.

Myrna Hayes, President and Executive Director of Mare Island Heritage Trust, addressed ongoing concerns regarding the environmental impacts on the proposed public access.

Doug Darling, Sierra Club, addressed similar concerns noted in the submitted public comment by his associate Joe Feller and requested that the Board consider postponing the approval of the Plan and allow the public to provide input before going further.

George Gwynn supported Mr. Darling’s request to delay approval of the Plan.

Board Member McConnell requested feedback from STA staff as to the timing of when the citizens of Vallejo can provide input to the relocation of the specified launch sites. Robert Guerrero responded that given this a high-level document, he noted that there will be ample opportunity for the public in the coming months to participate in other discussions related to prioritizing projects and funding options.

At this time, Board Member Spering moved staff’s recommendation, but wanted to make a statement that as we compete for funding on these public documents, there always will be opportunity for public review and input in the future.

Recommendation: Approve the Solano SR 37 Public Access Plan for the Solano County portion of the SR 37 Corridor.

On a motion by Board Member Spering, and a second by Board Member Price, the STA Board approved the recommendation by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bird, Kott, McConnell, Price, Rowlett, Spering, Wilson, and Young NAYS: None ABSENT None ABSTAIN None

D. Selection of 2021 STA Vice Chair Chair Rowlett nominated Robert McConnell, City of Vallejo, as STA’s 2021 Vice Chair.

Recommendation: Designate the STA Vice Chair for 2021.

22 On a motion by Board Member Spering, and a second by Board Member Price, the STA Board approved the recommendation by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bird, Kott, McConnell, Price, Rowlett, Spering, Wilson, and Young NAYS: None ABSENT None ABSTAIN None

12. INFORMATIONAL – DISCUSSION

A. Discussion of Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) – Draft Working Papers Brandon Thomson reported that over the past year, STA’s consultant team (Jim Moore Methods and project manager Jim McElroy) has developed in partnership, with local transit staff, updated Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) for the five transit operators located in Solano County. He explained that all five transit operators have adopted their respective individual local SRTP, and that the final step in the process is adoption by the STA Board scheduled for February. Concurrently, he noted that the same consultant team has developed four working papers on the subjects identified by the STA Board. He identified them as: #7. Operation and Performance of the Solano Express System, #8. Connectivity between the Regional and Local Transit Networks, #9. Access to Medical Providers and Services, and #10.

7. ACTION NON-FINANCIAL ITEMS

A. Legislative Update and STA’s Draft 2021 Legislative Platform Vince Ma noted that the STA Board adopted the Platform at their meeting on January 13, 2021 and no comments were received during the 30-day comment period that closed on January 9, 2021. He also introduced to state and federal bills and requested support positions for ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) Local Government Financing: Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure: Voter Approval and SB 44 (Allen) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): streamlined judicial review: environmental leadership transit projects.

27 Recommendation: Forward a recommendation to the STA Board to: 1. SUPPORT ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) Local Government Financing: Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure: Voter Approval; and 2. SUPPORT SB 44 (Allen) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): streamlined judicial review: environmental leadership transit projects.

B. Local Road Safety Plans (LSRSP) and Regional Vision Zero Policies Erika McLitus reviewed staff’s proposal for a Countywide LRSP. She cited that in order to help local agencies be proactive in meeting these new eligibility requirements for state and regional funding, STA staff proposes a Countywide LRSP that will include individual plans for each jurisdiction. She added that the Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan would also create an opportunity for the STA Board to adopt a countywide Vision Zero policy, providing blanket eligibility for all Solano jurisdictions pursuing State or Regional funding opportunities. She proceeded by noting that if multiple jurisdictions apply for LRSP funding and agree to combine funding awards to finance this endeavor, it would alleviate financial burdens on smaller jurisdictions and facilitate a coordinated effort to ensure that all Solano jurisdictions remain eligible for state and regional transportation funding.

Recommendation: Forward a recommendation to the STA Board to authorize the Executive Director to: 1. Develop a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan and a Vision Zero Policy; 2. Enter into a Countywide funding agreement to fund a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan with pooled HSIP funds; and 3. Issue a Request for Proposals for a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan.

On a motion by Girum Awoke, and a second by Robin Borre, the STA TAC unanimously approved the recommendation. (7 Ayes, 1 Absent – City of Suisun City)

30 Agenda Item 9.C February 10, 2021

DATE: January 14, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Janet Adams, Deputy Executive Director/Director of Projects RE: Contract Amendments I-80 Managed Lanes Project – AECOM for Design Services and PDM Group for Project Management Services

Background: Since 2010, STA staff has been working in partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Caltrans to implement the I-80 Managed Lanes Project - Red Top Road to I-505. Environmental clearance for the I-80 Managed Lanes Project was approved in December 2015. STA, in collaboration with Caltrans and MTC, is leading the design phase, which was suspended in 2018, due to lack of construction funding.

Discussion: The I-80 Managed Lanes Project was recently including in the list of California Transportation Commission (CTC) projects for the Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) 2020 Trade Corridor Enhancement Program, that were awarded funding. These funds, in combination with Bridge Toll Funds and Solano/MTC State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding, will fully fund this $274.9 million Project. With funding in place to complete the I-80 Express Lanes Project, the next step will be to proceed with the Final Design. Due to the lapse in time, three main efforts need to be done by the designer. First, since 2018, Caltrans has issued updated standard plans and specifications, as such the project is required to meet this new standard. Second, the Managed Lanes network integrator has asked for changes to recognize updated technology and lessons learned from other Bay Area Managed Lanes projects that have been implemented since 2018. The last major issue is Caltrans has required a structures foundation design change for the bridge widening that is included on the project.

AECOM Technical Services was retained by STA to provide design services for the Project, and PDM Group Inc. was retained by STA to provide project management services. Now that construction funding has been secured for this Project, it is an appropriate time to evaluate the budget requirements for the remaining effort to complete the design effort, including project management services. STA staff is recommending the Board approve a contract amendment for AECOM Technical Services in a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000 and PDM Group Inc. in a not-to-exceed amount of $280,000 to cover these additional services, which would be funded with Bridge Toll funds dedicated to the project. This additional design amount was the estimated need by staff and as such may require further augmentation.

Fiscal Impact: The additional design and project management services for the I-80 Express Lanes Project - Red Top Road to I-505 will be funded with bridge toll funds.

31 Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to execute the following contract amendments for the I-80 Managed Lanes Project - Red Top Road to I-505: 1. AECOM Technical Services in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000, to provide design services; and 2. PDM Group Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $280,000 for project management services.

32 Agenda Item 9.D February 10, 2021

DATE: January 29, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Ron Grassi, Director of Programs ` Brandon Thomson, Transit Mobility Coordinator RE: Contract Amendment - Transit Finance Consultant Services - NWC Partners ______

Background: Solano Transportation Authority (STA) contracts with consultants to provide transit support to transit operators as well as to provide Transit Financial Services for the STA. STA provided consultants to assist Solano County Transit (SolTrans) with transition tasks as part of their merger and STA funded and contracted with Nancy Whelan as SolTrans Interim Finance Director. Nancy Whelan Consulting (NWC) provides Transit Financial Services for the Cities of Dixon and Rio Vista through an agreement with STA. NWC also provides Transit Financial Services and Project Management Services for the STA.

In June of 2014, Nancy Whelan became the General Manager of Marin Transit, and she no longer provides consulting services. With this change in her employment status, Nancy Whelan Consulting, LLC transitioned to NWC Partners, Inc. This transition enabled Mary Pryor and Tina Konvalinka Spencer with NWC Partners, Inc. to continue working for the STA. The contract with NWC Partners was amended as recently as June 2019 to continue these financial services. The analysis of transit finances is a vital need to ot only Rio vista and Dixon, but on a larger scale for the STA to provide sound data analysis to help guide Board decisions.

Discussion: NWC Partners, Inc. has continued to work with the STA on the Transit Finance and Coordination Project Management Services contract. Some of the ongoing tasks that Mary Pryor of NWC Partners, Inc., has continued to support STA staff with include: 1. Transit Financial Services Assistance for the City of Rio Vista/Delta Breeze 2. Support for the Intercity Taxi Scrip Program 3. The SolanoExpress Intercity Funding Agreement and Intercity Bus Replacement Plan 4. Financial Services Assistance for the City of Dixon

For FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 STA staff foresees, NWC Partners, Inc. will continue work on: 5. Financial Services Assistance for the City of Rio Vista 6. Support for the Intercity Taxi Scrip Program 7. The SolanoExpress Intercity Funding Agreement and Intercity Bus Replacement Plan 8. Financial Services Assistance for the City of Dixon 9. STA Title VI Plan analysis 10. City of Rio Vista’s Title VI Plan analysis 11. Financial review of Coordinated Short Range Transit Plan

33 Furthermore, the health crisis created by the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic led to rapid and significant modifications to the SolanoExpress services and NWC has and will continue to provide financial analyses to STA staff. Given the additional need for financial analyses, staff recommends amending the current Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 contract to include an additional amount of $46,465 and an additional amount of $135,450 for FY 2021-22.

Fiscal Impact: The additional amount $181,765 for this contract amendment would be funded from the Satae Transit Assistant Funds (STAF) already budgeted in the FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 budget.

Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to execute a contract amendment with NWC Partners, Inc. for Transit Finance Consultant Services for an additional amount of $46,315 for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 for a total amount not-to-exceed $181,915.

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Debbie McQuilkin, Transit Mobility Coordinator RE: 2021 Paratransit Coordinating Council (PCC) Work Plan ______

Background: The Paratransit Coordinating Council (PCC) has a focus on developing expertise and understanding of the range of transportation services for Solano older adults, people with disabilities, low income, and transit dependent passengers; as well as, outreach activities, and making funding recommendations to the STA Board of Directors and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The PCC Work Plan is the mechanism in which this may be achieved. The PCC Work Plan is approved by the STA Board.

The PCC Outreach Plan’s purpose is to increase the awareness of the Paratransit Coordinating Council, its information and advisory functions on transportation issues concerning Solano older adults, people with disabilities, economically disadvantaged, transit dependent riders, as well as to encourage participation in the PCC as committee members and by the public in general.

Discussion: At the January 21, 2021 PCC meeting, STA staff presented the 2021 PCC Draft Work Plan (Attachment A) and the 2021 PCC Draft Outreach Plan (Attachment B) for discussion and review. STA staff requested suggestions or feedback from the group in order to update the 2021 PCC Work and Outreach Plans. There were no comments or suggestion on the Work Plan. The PCC members did have suggestions regarding the Outreach Plan which included making an effort to reach students through school and classroom presentations in order to bring awareness of the PCC’s purpose.

At the January 21, 2021 PCC meeting, the PCC approved to forward a recommendation to the STA Board to approve the 2020 PCC Work Plan.

Fiscal Impact: The Paratransit Coordinating Council work is funded with State Transit Assistance Funds (STAF) in the amount of $25,508 for FY 20-21.

38 Agenda Item 9.F February 10, 2021

DATE: January 29, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Ron Grassi, Director of Programs RE: Coordinated Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) 1. Dixon Readi-Ride SRTP 2. Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST) 3. Rio Vista Delta Breeze 4. Solano County Transit (SolTrans) 5. Vacaville City Coach

Background: The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) provides Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5303 funding to transit operators to support the development of Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP). SRTPs assist transit agencies with operations and capital planning in the interest of meeting federal planning requirements related to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

An individual SRTP for each transit agency and an accumulation of the SRTP’s known as the Coordinated Short Range Transit Plan were last completed for Solano county transit operators in September 2016, covering the period Fiscal Years (FYs) 2015-16 to 2024-25. STA’s approach, with guidance and direction from MTC, is to update these documents approximately every two to three years.

On February 13, 2019, the MTC’s Programming and Allocations Committee adopted MTC Resolution No. 4364, which recommended that STA receive $110,000 to develop a coordinated SRTP for SolTrans, the City of Rio Vista, the City of Dixon, and the City of Fairfield. In coordination with Vacaville City Coach. MTC staff allocated the City of Vacaville $20,000 to conduct their SRTP. MTC staff separated the City of Vacaville from the Solano County operators because, in the last update, the City of Vacaville prepared their own SRTP. The City of Vacaville decided to include their SRTP update for City Coach under the single consultant agreement with STA to prepare the individual agency SRTPs. Therefore, STA received $130,000 in FTA 5303 funds from MTC and set aside State Transit Assistance Funds (STAF) in the amount of $70,000 toward this effort. The set aside of STAF funds covers the required local match of $18,138 and the remaining $51,862 of STAF funds has been used to conduct the Coordinated SRTP.

Discussion: As in the previous Coordinated SRTP process, each transit agency provided information and reviewed drafts as they were developed by the consultant team. STA staff used a similar approach from the 2016 effort for this cycle, with some changes:

39 1. Eliminate the element related to the Transit Corridor Study. 2. Replace that item with an element that looks at operation and performance of the SolanoExpress system as a single unit, while retaining the individual agency approaches for evaluation and planning regards to finances and performance of the individual SolanoExpress routes as allocated to each agency. 3. The section on the SolanoExpress system includes an element that examines connectivity between the regional network and the local transit networks. This will examine shortcomings and opportunities for improved connectivity. 4. Examined transit access to medical facilities and to medical appointments. Determine actual demand for services and propose cost effective options for addressing the demands. This component is being added as this was to top priority of the Coordinated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) and all seven cities for Senior and Persons with Disabilities. 5. Examined transit access to Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and future Priority Production Areas (PPAs) for jobs.

Relevant to the SRTPs, under a separate Board item, there are four Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP) Working Papers; # 7 Operation and Performance of the Solano Express System; #8 Connectivity between the regional and Local Transit Networks; #9 Access to Medical Providers and Services; and #10 Transit Access and Connecting Communities to Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and Future Priority Production Areas (PPAs). The MTC Resolution requires a ten-year fiscally constrained financial plan for each of the transit operators SRTP as well as for the coordinated plan. Therefore, sustainability is an overarching objective of the entire process.

Another area of special interest/concern is the Pre Covid-19 decline in local ridership of Solano’s three largest fixed route transit systems. The loss of local ridership for the three largest transit operators may be attributed to a variety of factors including lower fuel costs, increased teleworking, higher car ownership and the rise of alternatives such as Uber and Lyft. The MTC Resolution requires a review of usage trends; and as Solano has seen declining local ridership, STA has been exploring Micro-Transit alternatives with Rio Vista and SolTrans for Benicia to specifically look for long- and short-term solutions to improve transit ridership.

Each Agency (Dixon Readi-Ride, Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST), Rio Vista Delta Breeze, Solano County Transit (SolTrans) and Vacaville City Coach) have already approved their individual SRTP. At this time staff is seeking the Board approved these as the Coordinated SRTP for the County and will be subsequently submitted to MTC.

Fiscal Impact: The SRTP’s were funded with $130,000 in FTA 5303 funds from MTC and $70,000 STAF.

Recommendation: Receive and approve the Coordinated Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP’s) as listed below: For review and printing of the Coordinated SRTPs: 1. Click here: Dixon SRTP 2. Click here: FAST SRTP 3. Click here: Rio Vista SRTP 4. Click here: SolTrans SRTP 5. Click here: Vacaville SRTP Attachment: A. Preface with the Impacts as a Result of COVID40 -19 Attachment A The update to the SRTP’s for the five Solano County transit operators began in Fall of 2019 and almost all the core work was completed by January of 2020. Over 90% of the project budget was expended when the pandemic impacted short and long term operations of the transit services, in April of 2020. The total project budget to produce the SRTP updates total is $131,389 with $121,385 expended as of April 10, 2020. The SRTP updates are produced about every two or three years. They generally look at a period of five years, but in the MTC region, there is a ten year projection. Therefore, this SRTP update is for the FY2021 to FY2030. The next SRTP update will likely be produced in about 2023 for the period FY2024 to FY2033. The following list explains the conflicts that make the current SRTP updates an anomaly: 1. The updates, although not fully approved and finalized, were functionally complete when the pandemic impacts began. 2. At that time, the financial and operational impacts were known to be severe, but highly uncertain. 3. The financial and operational impacts continue to be severe and uncertain. 4. Funds to produce the current SRTP update were almost fully expended when the pandemic impact began to impact transit operations and finances. 5. Functionally, all that remained to be completed were some minor reviews, a coordination element, adoption by individual agencies and full adoption by the Board of the Solano Transportation Authority (STA). STA and MTC staffs considered two possible options: 1. Go back and redo the SRTP’s to reflect the most current information, even though that information was not settled; and even today is highly uncertain. 2. Accept the Coordinated SRTP as produced and defer analysis and changes related to the pandemic until the next update cycle in about 2023. Option 2 was selected based on the following conclusions: 1. Financial resources are not readily available to redo the already completed products. 2. Given current job assignments, individual agencies do not have staff time available to provide data to update in the current timeframe. In other words, analysis to update the current SRTP’s would likely be delayed into the next cycle anyway, given demands presented by the pandemic on the transit operators. Additionally, even without immediate updates to attempt to integrate the pandemic effects, the existing draft SRTP’s and the Coordinated SRTP have value: 1. They are accurate in the timeline sense, and therefore provide a continuity in planning as we progress into the next SRTP update cycle. 2. Many elements within these SRTP’s remain accurate and immediately helpful, such as certain service analysis, anticipation of service area changes, and most capital plans.

41 Therefore, and in summary, the individual SRTP’s and the Coordination element are presented and retained in the form that was effectively established pre-pandemic. And, as such, these will be used in planning, as appropriate; and will be used as a continuity element in preparing for, and implementing, the next cycle of SRTP updates.

42 Agenda Item 9.G February 10, 2021

DATE: February 10, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Brandon Thomson, Transit Mobility Coordinator RE: Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) –Working Papers  #7 Operation and Performance of the SolanoExpress System  #8 Connectivity between the regional and Local Transit Networks  #9 Access to Medical Providers and Services  #10 Transit Access and Connecting Communities to Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and Future Priority Production Areas (PPAs)

Background: The 2019-2020 Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) project includes four supplemental Working Paper documents. They were specifically identified by the STA Board and prepared separately from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) required local SRTP’s and are not included in the transit operators SRTP’s. The four Working Papers are a snapshot in time that utilized pre-pandemic service levels and data. This agenda item was presented at the November 2020 Consortium as an informational item. Comments from transit operators have been incorporated and are now being presented as an informational item to complete the full SRTP package. The transit operators governing boards have already adopted their respective SRTPs as required my MTC.

Discussion: The four documents provide information helpful in efforts that require similar expertise to that used in preparation of the SRTP’s. The consultant selected for the SRTP project, Moore and Associates, also completed these Working Papers. Following is a description of the requirement for each document as well as reference to the attached documents that are the individual research or “working” papers. The Working Papers are numbered from “7” to “10” as this is their individual location in the overall deliverable listing for the SRTP project. Staff intends to use these Working Papers to guide and support future transit coordination and connected mobility efforts.

Working Paper 7 - Operation and Performance of the SolanoExpress System (Attachment A) This Working Paper examined and evaluated operation and performance of the SolanoExpress service as a single unit, although the services are provided by two different operators via a contract with STA. The STA Board serves as the policy Board for SolanoExpress. Certain modifications to the regional system which has been active since July 2018 and additional services that were implemented July 2019. The changes were largely based on a plan that was developed in the I-80/I-680/I-780 Transit Corridor Study completed in December 2014. The 2014 Study said that, with limited exceptions, the existing regional services do not meet most performance standards; and, the actual ridership numbers anecdotally were not good relative to the total travel in the corridors served.

43 The Paper recommends these minimum requirements to improve the Operation and Performance: 1. Identify key corridor segments within the county; and, to and from destinations outside the county. 2. Determine percentage of trips that are captured within the corridor segments currently. 3. Develop and assess opportunities to implement Bus Rapid Transit to improve capacity, usage, and reliability. Create list of suggested modifications including costs to implement and operate 4. Assess performance of the individual routes based on a set of measures established as part of this work. Working Paper 8 - Connectivity between the regional and Local Transit Networks (Attachment B) This Working Paper examined the connectivity between the regional network and the local transit networks to specifically examine shortcomings and opportunities for client connectivity. In general, SolanoExpress needs to significantly increase ridership on the regional service and support increasing ridership on local services. Local jurisdictions which are to be included are the six cities that are in the corridors served by SolanoExpress – Vallejo, Benicia, Suisun City, Fairfield, Vacaville, and Dixon. Rio Vista is connected to SolanoExpress by Delta Breeze at the Suisun Amtrak Station and Fairfield Transit Center.

The Paper recommends these minimum requirements to improve the connectivity between regional and local services: 1. Examine connectivity between the regional SolanoExpress network and the local transit networks within these jurisdictions. 2. Recommend modifications to local services and recommend modifications to regional services. Working Paper 9 - Access to Medical Providers and Services (Attachment C) This Working Paper looked at providing client access to medical facilities and enhance access to medical appointments. This is the top priority of the Consolidated Transportation Service Agency (CTSA) and all seven cities for Older Adults and Persons with Disabilities. The Paper considered these minimum requirements for the access to medical providers and services: 1. Identify all key medical facilities within and adjacent to the County that are desired and used by County residents. 2. Identify existing transportation services that access the facilities and how they are usable from a complete trip perspective. 3. Identify costs and modifications to gain specific connectivity improvements. Working Paper 10 - Transit Access and Connecting Communities to Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and Future Priority Production Areas (PPAs) for Jobs (Attachment D) This Working Paper examined transit access to Priority Development Areas (PDAs) and future Priority Production Areas (PPAs) for jobs. PDA and PPA are area designations established by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) for analysis and mapping related to Plan Bay Area.

The Paper considered these minimum requirements in the evaluation of transit access to PDA’s and PPA’s: 1. Identify all relevant PDA’s and PPA’s. 2. Evaluate current transit access. 3. Establish service levels to attain PDA and PPA requirements. 4. Identify specific service improvements needed to attain service levels identified. 5. Establish timing and cost for the improvements 44 At their January meetings, the SolanoExpress Intercity Transit Consortium and the STA TAC approved the recommendation to forward this item to the STA Board for approval.

Fiscal Impacts: Funding sources have been identified and approved by the STA Board, including $70,000 of State Transit Assistance Funds and $130,000 of FTA 5303 through a funding agreement with MTC, for a total project cost not-to-exceed $200,000 for the total project which includes five (5) SRTP’s, one (1) Coordination Document tying together the SRTP’s, three (3) Task papers examining fixed route ridership loss, and four (4) Working Papers on various issues included in this report.

Recommendation: Adopt the Short Range Transit Plans Working Papers 7, 8, 9, and 10 as shown in Attachments A, B, C, and D.

46 Agenda Item 9.H February 10, 2021

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Anthony Adams, Project Manager RE: Urban Greening Grant for Vallejo Bay/Vine Trail Enterprise Dr Segment - Resolution of Support

Background: During the Active Transportation Program Cycle 3, the Vallejo Bay/Vine Trail Project was awarded $4.2M by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). This Project is a gap closure project that spans 4.2 miles and travels through multiple disadvantaged neighborhoods, connecting the Vallejo Ferry building in downtown Vallejo to the City of American Canyon. However, during the environmental and design phase of this project, a funding gap was identified by the City of Vallejo. To meet this budget shortfall, the STA, in coordination with the City of Vallejo, Bay Trail, and the Vine Trail have been seeking additional funds. The proposed funding plan for this Project, to meet the shortfall, includes seeking funding from Urban Greening grant opportunity to augment the Enterprise Dr segment of the Project and add landscaping amenities.

Discussion: An Urban Greening Grant was submitted on July 15th in the amount of $450k for Enterprise Dr portion of the Bay/Vine Trail in Vallejo. The project scope calls for improving the design from a Class II facility to a Class IV protected bike lane, adding street trees and landscaping. There is no additional local match requirement for this segment of the Project as Vine Trail has already committed $850k in local funds previously to the overall Project.

In mid-January, the California Natural Resources Agency notified STA that the project has made it to the third, and final, round of review. This final round requires STA to submit documents such as Environmental Clearance certification, Right of Way certification, and landscape plan. It also requires STA to pass a resolution supporting the project’s delivery and fiscal responsibility commitment to its completion.

If the Project makes it past the third round, funds would be awarded for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22, with the project going to construction in Summer 2022.

Fiscal Impact: Award of the grant will eliminate the shortfall for the Enterprise Dr segment of the Vallejo Bay/Vine Trail.

Recommendation: Approve the Following: 1. Approve STA Reso No. 2021-04; and 2. Authorize the Executive Director to submit STA Reso No. 2021-04 and supporting documentation for the Urban Greening Grant for the Vallejo Bay/Vine Trail Project.

Agenda Item 9.I February 10, 2021

DATE: January 30, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, Director of Planning RE: MTC All Lane Tolling Grant Request Letter

Background: The Solano Transportation Authority is responsible for coordinating with the MTC and Caltrans to develop the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) for the Bay Area every four years. The RTP is a long range transportation plan that forecasts future transportation needs and is required for programming federal transportation funds. The RTP is also required by California Senate Bill 375 to promote sustainable communities and provide policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

Consistent with SB 375, California Air Resource Board (CARB) set a target GHG emission reduction goal of 19% for the Bay Area RTP to address. This is a monumental challenge for MTC to overcome. In order to address this, the RTP had to include extremely innovative transformational blueprint strategies for all four planning quadrants: 1. Transportation Strategies 2. Housing Strategies 3. Economic Strategies 4. Environmental Strategies

One new strategy included in the Transportation category by MTC is an all lane toll pricing policy strategy. The goal for this policy strategy is to potentially set tolls on all freeway corridors in the Bay Area in order to discourage single occupancy vehicle trips and encourage transit use. This would, in theory, reduce GHG emissions substantially- enough for the Bay Area region to meet CARB’s 19% reduction requirement for the RTP when combined with all other strategies.

MTC adopted this strategy along with several other RTP Blueprint strategies in the fall of 2020.

Discussion: There were several steps MTC took to develop the RTP in coordination with the STA. One important step was to work with STA to include Solano County’s priority transportation projects in the RTP. These included highway and freeway improvements such as the I-80/I-680/SR 12 Interchange Project, I-80 Managed Lane Project and the SR 37 Corridor Improvement Project.

MTC’s Project Performance analysis of these projects showed that these projects would expand the highway and freeway network and produce additional GHG emissions. This ran counter to the RTP’s required goals to reduce GHG; however, MTC also acknowledged other important transportation and economic benefits of the projects. This compelled MTC to consider including these projects, but only if an evaluation of an all lane tolling policy strategy would be supported by the STA. In consultation with the STA’s Technical Advisory Committee and STA Executive Committee, the STA Board agreed to support an evaluation of an all lane tolling policy strategy 51 at their September 9, 2020 meeting. Staff from MTC recently contacted STA for a letter of support for a grant opportunity through Caltrans Strategic Partnership to develop an all lane tolling evaluation study. MTC is calling it “Next-Generation Bay Area Freeways: Leveraging Pricing strategies to Advance Equity, Climate, and Mobility Goals”. The goals for the Study are two-fold: 1) to understand what it takes for public and stakeholder acceptance of road pricing, and identify pathways that advance a collaboratively defined equitable vision, with win-win outcomes for all; 2) to evaluate options for operational deployment of all-lane freeway tolling, as well as one or more alternative pricing approaches.

STA staff is recommending the STA Board approve a letter of support given STA’s action on September 9, 2020 to support an evaluation of this policy. In addition, STA recommends participating in the study to understand and comment on the potential impacts to the freeway, highway and roadway networks in Solano County. STA staff’s participation on the study would be counted as in-kind matching resources for MTC’s $400k funding request from this grant program. No other financial commitment from the STA is requested at this time. MTC is reaching out to all Bay Area County Transportation Authority agencies for their support. The grant deadline is February 10, 2021.

Fiscal Impact: None at this time. STA staff participation will be considered matching resources for MTC’s grant request of $400k.

Recommendation: Approve the following: 1. A support letter for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s grant request for evaluating all lane tolling as part of their study called: “Next-Generation Bay Area Freeways: Leveraging Pricing Strategies to Advance Equity, Climate and Mobility Goals”; and 2. Commit STA staff to participate in the development of the regional study if MTC is successful in obtaining grant funding to develop it.

52 Agenda Item 9.J February 10, 2021

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Brent Rosenwald, Planning Assistant RE: Solano County Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) Mitigation Program Submittal for - Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant

Background: Every year, Caltrans issues a call for projects for Sustainable Communities Grant Program. These grants provide much needed funding to support regional sustainable community strategies and ultimately achieve the State's greenhouse gas reductions targets of 40 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 2050, respectively.

For the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 grant cycle, there is $29.5 million available for Caltrans Sustainable Communities Program applications with a project request minimum of $100,000 and project maximum request of $700,000. As part of this effort, there is an 11.47% local match that is required. Grant applications are due on February 12, 2021.

For this grant Cycle STA is interested in applying for funding grant for the development of a Solano County Vehicle Mitigation Program as discussed below.

Discussion: Senate Bill (SB) 743 and accompanying changes to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) law changes how transportation impacts are to be evaluated. This became effective statewide on July 1, 2020. In order to adequately assess the environmental impact of a project, SB 743 replaced the use of level of service and traffic congestion with Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for purposes of assessing the significance of impacts to the environment. The State Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) advisory and new CEQA rules specify that VMT is the appropriate metric to evaluate transportation impacts for CEQA purposes. Increase in vehicle miles results in increase in emissions, as such using this metric puts projects to be in line with the goals of the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

As part of the effort to implement and comply with SB 743, STA has convened a Model Technical Advisory Committee with a representative from each of its member agencies. The Committee acts as a sounding board where localized efforts to comply with SB 743 are shared. Since the inception of this Committee, representatives have expressed an interest in working collaboratively to ensure all Solano County agencies are in compliance with this new law. Additionally, these same representatives have also described the difficulties in implementing SB 743 within their jurisdictions.

53 According to the recently passed SB 743, CEQA requires all lead agencies to assess VMT whenever a development project is planned. If the VMT is determined to exceed the adopted thresholds set by the individual jurisdiction, the lead agency must work to install meaningful mitigations. This grant will allow STA to pursue a two pronged approach that will help each of its member agencies in complying with this complex issue. This grant will allow for STA to procure a consultant to perform an initial measurement of VMT in each jurisdiction. Then, STA will work collaboratively with public stakeholders, city staff, and the consultant to establish a countywide VMT Mitigation Program. The Program will act as a jurisdictionally tailored toolbox of strategies that each member agency can employ whenever they need to reduce VMT. With this in mind, STA is looking to develop a Solano County VMT Mitigation Program. This Program seeks to establish a consistent and streamlined Countywide VMT Mitigation Program for its 8 member agencies and Caltrans. STA staff is recommending to apply for $500,000 in Caltrans Strategic Communities Planning Grant funds. This would make the local match requirement $57,350 with a total project cost of $557,350.

Fiscal Impact: If the grant is successful, STA’s Planning budget would be increased by $500,000. This would be included in the budget revision for Fiscal Year 2020-21 and would cover the cost for staff and consultants.

The Grant requires an 11.47% local match. if successful on obtaining this grant, then the STA as part of its budgeting process, will establish this match.

Recommendation: Authorize the STA Executive Director to submit an application for a $500,000 Caltrans Strategic Communities Planning Grant to develop a Solano County VMT Mitigation Program.

54 Agenda Item 9.K February 10, 2021

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Brent Rosenwald, Planning Assistant RE: Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA-3) Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21

Background: Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds are generated from a ¼ cent tax on retail sales throughout California. Two percent of the TDA funding generated is returned to each county in which it was generated in the form of TDA Article 3 (TDA-3) funds for bicycle and pedestrian projects. STA works with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to administer the TDA funds. MTC typically provides fund estimates each February, July, and October/November.

The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) works with member agency staff each spring to fund bicycle and pedestrian projects for the upcoming fiscal year, based on MTC’s fund estimates. As part of the recommendation process, TDA-3 funding requests are reviewed by the Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), and the Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC). Recommendations are sent to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and ultimately approved by the STA Board of Directors. Funds must be spent within three fiscal years.

Discussion: As part of this year’s TDA funding cycle, STA underwent a comprehensive reassessment of its priority projects list in light of the recently adopted 2020 Active Transportation Plan. The goal of this undertaking was to formulate a 5-year TDA-3 vision program that would align the goals of STA and its member agencies to create a transparent funding and implementation timeline. The program list is designed to be fluid in order to provide a level of confidence for project sponsors to anticipate future TDA Article 3 funding. It provides time for them to finish design, environmental documents or obtain matching funds. Projects may advance or be pushed back in the 5-year list if they do not complete those tasks. All of the projects included in the 5-year program are considered by the BAC and PAC, but only projects included in year one are formally recommended for approval.

STA met with each of the seven cities and the County to discuss priorities in order to formulate the proposed funding schedule for this program and develop recommendations for Year 1. In addition, projects in the first year of this 5-year program have been discussed at the Solano Project Delivery Working Group (PDWG), at previous BAC and PAC meetings, and were identified as immediate priorities during the project outreach sessions conducted by STA. All of the projects included in the 5-year program are identified in STA’s recently adopted Active Transportation Plan. Project sponsors have indicated that they will be able to deliver these projects in a manner consistent with the time requirements of the funding.

55 The TDA-3 FY 2020-21 preliminary fund estimate from MTC is $439,879. Based on the aforementioned efforts, STA staff convened a joint meeting of its countywide BAC and PAC on October 15th where both Committees voted to recommend funding the following projects to both the TAC and STA Board. These projects will serve as part of this year’s TDA Article 3 allocation for the first year of the 5-year program:

1. Panorama Drive Safety Improvements (City of Benicia) The City of Benicia seeks $23,801 to fund construction of two bulb-outs, a crosswalk, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) as part of a larger Safe Routes to School (SR2S) project.

2. Railroad Avenue Bicycle Lanes Project (City of Suisun City) The City of Suisun City is seeking $124,675 to replace the existing bicycle lanes on both sides of New Railroad Avenue with buffered bicycle lanes.

3. Main Street Bicycle Improvements (City of Suisun City) The City of Suisun City is seeking $50,000 to construct complete street multi-modal improvements along Main Street.

4. STA 3-Year Wayfinding Sign Program STA is seeking $25,000 as part of the first year of its 3-year wayfinding sign program.

5. SR2S Capital Projects STA’s Safe Routes to School program is seeking $91,530 for capital costs of SR2S projects unfunded in the first round of SR2S microgrant funding.

6. SR2S Micro-Grant and Education STA’s Safe Routes to School Program is seeking $124,873 for programming and educational purposes.

STA staff presented the proposed funding strategy for the FY 2020-21 TDA Article 3 program to the TAC at the November 2020 meeting. The TAC members voted to forward a recommendation for the STA Board to approve funding for these projects. STA staff brought the TDA funding recommendations to the December 2020 STA Board meeting where they were approved. Following this, staff needs to formalize this allocation by submitting three resolutions to Board for approval. Resolution 2021-01 is the funding allocation for Safe Routes to School Program and is seen in Attachment A. Resolution 2021-02 is the funding allocation for the STA 3-Year Wayfinding Sign Program as seen in Attachment B. Resolution 2021-03 is the countywide allocation of TDA funds and is seen in Attachment C.

Fiscal Impact: The total TDA funding recommendation is $439,879. As part of its Panorama Drive Project, the City of Benicia will contribute $20,449 of local funds.

Recommendation: Approve the following STA Resolutions for TDA Article 3 funds for Fiscal Year 2020-21: 1. STA Resolution 2021-01 for STA’s Safe Routes to School Program; 2. STA Resolution 2021-02 for STAs 3-Year Wayfinding Sign Program; and 3. STA Resolution 2021-03 for the Solano Countywide Coordinated Claim for TDA Article 3 funding allocation.

72 Agenda Item 10.A February 10, 2021

DATE: January 29, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Kathrina Gregana, Planning Assistant RE: Solano Rail Hub Funding Implementation Plan

Background: The 2018 California State Rail Plan, the state’s strategic plan for creating a coordinated, statewide rail network, identified a “Solano County Hub” to link Capitol Corridor, future Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) trains, and regional buses. In June 2020, STA’s Consultant, ARUP published the SMART and SolanoExpress Station Final Feasibility Study (Feasibility Study), which identified the current Suisun-Fairfield Capitol Corridor Station as the recommended location for the Solano Rail Hub.

In January 2021, the STA Board approved the Feasibility Study and designated the current Suisun-Fairfield Capitol Corridor Station as the location of the future Solano Rail Hub Project. The official designation of the Solano Rail Hub is significant because it puts the Project in line to influence the upcoming 2022 California State Rail Plan update; makes it eligible for inclusion in the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) Vision Implementation Plan; and could help inform the project development of Link21, the new crossing for regional trains connecting SF/Peninsula to East Bay/Sacramento.

With the designation of the station site, the STA, in partnership with the City of Suisun City, the City of Fairfield, and the County of Solano, is moving forward with next steps to advance the Solano Rail Hub Project.

Discussion: The Feasibility Study developed conceptual level plans for the siting station and the layout of associated facilities, but no formal design or engineering plans were prepared for the study. In order to initiate the engineering work for the Solano Rail Hub, a Project Study Report (PSR) is required to provide further detail on the design layout and engineering parameters of the station and associated facilities. This level of detail will provide the Solano Rail Hub Engineer Subgroup with the information they need to begin working on the initial stage of design for the Project to prepare for initial planning studies and environmental documentation. In addition, the PSR will serve as a document to position the STA, the City of Fairfield, the City of Suisun City, and the County of Solano to advocate for state, regional and federal funding for improvements to upgrade the existing station to meet the requirements of the Solano County RailHub.

73 The draft scope of work of the PSR includes: • Documentation of Relevant Codes and Design Guidelines Relevant to Project • Identification of Available Rights-of-Way and Utilities • Third Track Improvement and Development and Specifications for undercrossing and overcrossing alternatives for the Station • Analyze alternatives for access to the center platform for the passenger rail connections • Approach to Phased Implementation of Project Components • Environmental Clearance requirements for phased components

The cost estimate to complete the PSR scope of work is $93,000.

STA staff considered three options for a funding plan to cover the cost of these additional services, as specified in Attachment A.

Option 1 relies on the local project partners (City of Fairfield, City of Suisun City, and County of Solano) to contribute to cost of the PSR. In recognition of the funding constraints that the cities and the County are currently facing, STA staff is not recommending this option for consideration. In addition, the local agencies will need to help fund local access projects in support of the Solano Rail Hub project in the future.

The Solano Rail Hub Project is in line with the CCJPA’s Vision Implementation Plan, a multi- phase program of projects to increase frequencies and train speeds on the Capitol Corridor route. Specifically, the third track of the Solano Rail Hub is identified in CCJPA’s Capital Improvement Plan. Therefore, STA staff made the determination that it is appropriate to seek funds from CCJPA for the PSR. To make this request, the STA will need approval from the STA Board to submit an official letter to CCJPA making the funding request, with the PSR Scope of Work attached – these documents are included as Attachment B and C, respectively.

For these reasons, STA staff recommends proceeding with Option 2 and 3 for the funding plan. Option 2 is the recommended option, and Option 3 will serve as the contingency plan, in the event that the requested funds from CCJPA are not secured.

ARUP is a consulting firm that provides planning, engineering, and design services for various projects and sites in the built environment. The STA retained ARUP in 2019 to complete the Feasibility Study. Given that the work on the PSR builds upon the previous Feasibility Study and given ARUP’s expertise and experience in preparing technical documents like the PSR, STA staff recommends executing a contract amendment with ARUP to complete the scope of work for the Solano Rail Hub PSR.

In addition, the STA retained a consultant, DBK Advisory Services, to assist in advancing the Solano Rail Hub Project with the State and Capitol Corridor. DBK Advisory Services is a consulting firm with expertise in all aspects of passenger train services, including service and strategic planning. legislative and financial policy, capital program and funding, and operations management. Given the long-term and complex nature of the Solano Rail Hub Project and the need for strategic guidance in moving it forward, STA staff recommends executing a contract amendment with DBK Advisory Services to extend the period of their contract to June 2022. Attachment D includes the proposed scope of work for DBK Advisory Services.

At their meetings on January 26th and January 27th, the SolanoExpress Intercity Transit Consortium and the STA TAC approved the recommendation related to the Project Study Report to forward to the STA Board for approval at their meeting on February 10, 2021.

74

Fiscal Impact: The estimated cost of the contract amendment for ARUP is up to $93,000. This is proposed to be funded by CTP Implementation Funds and STAF funds. The funding plan proposes two options: (1) a commitment of $73,000 from the STA ($50,000 from CTP Implementation Funds and $23,000 from STAF funds), and seeks a funding request from CCJPA of $20,000; or (2) a commitment of $93,000 from the STA ($50,000 from CTP Implementation Funds and $43,000 from STAF funds).

The estimated cost of the contract amendment for DBK Advisory Services is $33,563. This is proposed to be funded by Surface Transportation Program (STP) Planning funds currently approved in STA’s FY 2020-21 Budget.

Recommendation: Approve the following: 1. The funding implementation plan for the Solano Rail Hub Project Study Report (PSR); 2. Allocation of up to $43,000 of STAF funds from Transit Coordination/Programs; 3. Authorize the Executive Director to execute a contract amendment with ARUP for an amount not-to-exceed $93,000 to cover the additional cost associated amendments to the Scope of Work with the Solano Rail Hub PSR; 4. Authorize the submission of the funding request letter to the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA); and 5. Authorize the Executive Director to execute a contract amendment with DBK Advisory Services for an amount not-to-exceed $33,563 to cover the additional cost associated with the Solano Rail Hub Project.

Robert Padgette Managing Director Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority 300 Lakeside Drive, 14th Floor Oakland, CA 94612

RE: Solano Mobility Hub Train Station – Funding Request to Support Project Study Report

Dear Mr. Padgette,

The purpose of this letter is to seek the assistance and participation of the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) in the development of the Solano Rail Hub Station.

As you may be aware, a “Solano County Hub” was first identified in the 2018 California State Rail Plan (CSRP). The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) used this identification of a Mobility Hub in Solano County to leverage the preparation of the SMART and SolanoExpress Station Feasibility Study (2020), which, among other findings, identified that the Suisun/Fairfield Train Station would be an ideal location for the Solano Rail Hub, as the site could: - Serve as a terminus for the extension of SMART trains from Marin County into Solano County with two (2) dedicated station tracks and a center platform; - Accommodate a third mainline track to support increased Capitol Corridor train frequencies while preserving current (and future) freight train movements; - Provide safer access to train platforms and between the cities of Suisun City and Fairfield; and - Have direct connection to the local and regional bus services provided by Napa Vine, SolanoExpress, FAST, Rio Vista Breeze and Greyhound services.

The STA Board adopted the Feasibility Study at their meeting on January 13, 2021 and approved the designation of the Suisun/Fairfield train station as the location of the Solano Rail Hub. The STA Board also approved their authority to advance the development of the Solano Mobility Hub project to the next phase – initial planning studies and environmental documentation.

The immediate next step is the need to prepare a Project Study Report (PSR) that will help guide the scope of work for the initial planning studies and environmental documentation. Based on the limited horizontal and vertical constraints imposed on this location, STA is performing an enhanced PSR which will include performing surveying to examine a 3rd track improvement and crossing alternatives that will improve the connection between Suisun City and Fairfield. A copy of the draft scope of work for the PSR is included as reference. While STA understands this surveying is typically performed in later project development phases, we believe that it is important to perform this task now to have a better understanding of the right-of-way constraints prior to advancing to the next phase of studies and design plans.

The cost estimate for the completion of the PSR is $93,000. The STA is proposing a funding plan that includes a commitment to cover $73,000 and would like to request the CCJPA consider providing the remaining balance of $20,000. 77

The STA has a long-standing partnership with the CCJPA and looks forward to working with you and your team in advancing the Solano Rail Hub Train Station through the next phase of project development.

If you have any questions, please contact Robert Guerrero, STA Director of Planning at (707) 399- 3211 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

Daryl Halls Executive Director cc: Jim Allison, CCJPA Manager of Planning Janet Adams, STA Director of Projects Robert Guerrero, Director of Planning Kathrina Gregana, STA Planning Assistant David Kutrosky, DBK Advisory Services LLC

Project: SMART-Solano Express Station Study/ Solano Rail Hub Project Study Report

Study Objective: Advance Solano Rail Hub Concepts/ Position STA/Fairfield/Suisun for Project Funding

Project Description: Deliver State Rail Plan proposed Solano Rail Hub at the site of the current Suisun-Fairfield Station. Incorporate modifications and enhancements to accommodate additional track infrastructure plus a future SMART Station terminus, upgrade/replace existing station passenger platforms and circulation to comply with current codes and design criteria. Consider phased delivery approach. Study Scope: To meet the study objective and adhere to the project description, the study scope incorporates the following tasks: Task 1 – Project Management. Overall management and coordination of study within the study team, with STA and with Suisun and Fairfield staff. Task 2 – Identification of Project Description and Project Guiding Principles (Basis of Design). Arup will restate and obtain consensus on the Project Description, and will develop for consideration and eventual approval a set of Guiding Principles (these could also be stated as a Basis of Design). As an example, we understand that several principles are already agreeable to all the parties, as follows:  The current site of the Suisun-Fairfield Amtrak/Capitol Corridor Station is the location of the future Solano County Hub, as identified in the State Rail Plan.  The “site” is substantially within the existing UPRR, Caltrans and city rights-of-way, but the passenger boarding facilities may shift (longitudinally) within this site by up to 1,000 feet.  The Solano County Hub will accommodate the existing and planned Capitol Corridor services, future SMART services, and feeder and express bus services. Infrastructure improvements will be provided to meet the anticipated needs of these existing and future services in a safe, effective and attractive manner. Improvements and facility designs will strive to stay within the boundaries of the current site.  Infrastructure improvements will adhere to the relevant codes and design criteria of Amtrak, CPUC, Capitol Corridor, SMART, UPRR, Caltrans and the cities of Fairfield and Suisun City. Some limited design exceptions are anticipated but those exceptions must still allow the facilities to meet the intent of the design criteria.  The use of mechanical systems (i.e., elevators, escalators) will be discouraged to reduce capital and operating costs.  A “program of projects” that allows for phased implementation of improvements is desired, if feasible.

1 11 Jan 2021 Rev 1 79

 The anticipated infrastructure improvements – through design and eventual operation – will create a safe, attractive and useful walkable connection between the downtowns of Suisun and Fairfield, encouraging appropriate infill development. Workshop – STA will organize a Workshop of its policy committee. Arup will present initial policy outcomes anticipated as a result of the project for consideration by the committee. Deliverable: Project Description and Project Guiding Principles Workshop: First Workshop with STA Organized Policy Committee – Desired Outcomes

Task 3 – Document and Summarize Design Criteria. Arup will research and then document relevant codes and design guidelines issued by the relevant owners and regulators. This will lead to the development of a matrix identifying design criteria relevant to this project. Criteria will include clearances, grades, platform widths and lengths, and other considerations. In some cases, we anticipate a range of values; we will work with STA to identify the most appropriate criteria value for this project. Deliverable: Design Criteria Table Task 4 – Identification of Available Rights-of-Way and Utilities. Working with STA and its other consultants, Arup will develop a map of the available rights-of-way in railroad or public ownership and establish right-of-way boundaries. We will also map any active spurs or sidings that may be in private ownership. We will also map the approximate location of major utilities. Collaboration: This mapping assumes STA (or its consultants) will provide rights-of-way maps and information from UPRR, and that the cities and Caltrans will provide their right-of-way information to Arup. STA (or its consultants) will provide utility easements within the UPRR right-of-way. Arup will request utility information from PG&E, city utilities, and other providers. Arup assumes these maps and drawings will be provided in a timely manner; should delays occur that impact the project schedule we will work with STA to consider alternatively approaches to delivering the project. Arup will apply the timely delivered information to its existing CAD drawings. A survey is not included in this task, and should one be required, it will be additional scope. Workshop – Arup anticipates a second workshop with either technical staff or policy committee to summarize the design and right-of-way constraints associated with the project. Deliverable: Right-of-Way Maps/Utility Maps Workshop: Second Workshop – Design and Right-of-Way Constraints

Task 5 – Development of Design Concepts. Arup previously developed one draft concept for illustration purposes for the SMART-Solano Express Station Study, assuming a below-grade circulation to the train platforms. A description of the existing conditions was also developed for the SMART-Solano Express Station Study. It is noted that all Alternatives (other than no-build) require realignment of UPRR tracks and the addition of a third track.

2 11 Jan 2021 Rev 1 80

Arup will repackage the existing condition and the below grade alternative into two (of three) alternatives. Arup will develop two additional alternatives using above grade circulation concepts. The four alternatives will be as follows:  Alternative 0: Null Alternative (Existing Conditions)  Alternative 1a: Above Grade Option A  Alternative 1b: Above Grade Option B  Alternative 2: Below Grade Option The development of Above Grade Option A and Above Grade Option B will be at a sketch planning level, with high-level designs identifying a crossing north of Highway 12 and another south of Highway 12. Workshop – After sketch planning development of the above grade alternatives (and prior to further study), Arup will hold a workshop with STA, CCJPA, Fairfield, Suisun and other stakeholders to detail the design criteria and review Alternatives 1a, 1b and 2. The intent of the process is to understand the implications of the criteria on Alternatives 1a, 1b and 2. We anticipate only one of the above-grade alternatives will be advanced further, and will be eventually paired with the below-grade alternative. The above grade alternatives will be reviewed by STA prior to the workshop. In the Workshop, Arup will present a summary of the design criteria along with sketches of two possible above grade alternatives. These criteria and alternatives (including the below grade alternative) will be presented in a briefing book for consideration by the workshop participants. Arup will facilitate the workshop discussion, work to achieve consensus and then issue meeting minutes reflecting the consensus. Development of Alternatives – Based on the workshop consensus, Arup will advance two “build” alternatives, including one below-grade option and one above-grade option. (Note: The budget assumes this scope of alternatives development). These designs will be CAD based, and will identify changes to tracks, platforms, circulation, etc. Any design exceptions will also be identified. Constructability and phasing will also be detailed for each alternative, should it be feasible to provide an early benefit. The level of design will be about 5 percent. CEQA/NEPA – Throughout this process, Arup (or subconsultants) will provide an assessment of the impact of design alternatives on the CEQA and NEPA process. It should be noted that there are two CEQA Statutory Exemptions for improvements within railroad and street rights of way, and for grade separations, however, there are nuances and guidelines for these exemptions. Costing & Schedule – Arup will identify the capital cost and construction schedule for the above-grade option and an update of the previous cost for the below-grade option. The cost estimate is classified as a Class 5 rough order of magnitude estimate according to Arup’s estimate classification matrix (Level 5), which was developed from the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) best practices. The accuracy range of this estimate

3 11 Jan 2021 Rev 1 81

has been determined to between -30% and +50%. The accuracy range is a gauge of likely bid prices if the project was issued to tender at this current stage. Deliverable: Workshop Briefing Book Preliminary Cost Estimates Workshop: Initial Design Progress

Task 6 – Draft & Final Report. Arup will collect and organize the data, discussion, drawings and analysis of up to three alternatives, plus the no build alternate, into a summary draft and final report. The draft report will be provided to STA for review. STA may elect to distribute the draft report for comment to stakeholders. At the end of the review period, STA will provide one set of internally consistent comments to Arup for review and inclusion (if appropriate) into the final report. The draft and final reports will identify:  Summary of Design Criteria  Existing Conditions (right-of-way, utilities, current design, etc.)  Description of the alternatives, including project footprint, project elements (width, lengths, height, clearances, etc. of circulation and boarding areas), impacts on railroad track alignments, any design exceptions, assessment of passenger comfort and utility of downtown-to-downtown pedestrian connection, and cost.  In addition, any property purchases will be identified, as well as required environmental approvals will be documented. Workshop – Arup will present the draft report findings to the STA policy committee and along with other comments incorporate as appropriate into a final report. Deliverable: Draft and Final Reports Workshop: Review of Draft Report

Task 7 – Caltrans Division of Rail and Mass Transportation PSR. Using the information developed in Tasks 1-6, Arup will develop a simple, Caltrans Division of Rail and Mass Transportation Project Study Report. The purpose of the PSR is to position STA, Fairfield and Suisun City to advocate for funding for improvements to upgrade the existing station to meet the requirements of the Solano County Hub. These requirements include both operational and passenger needs, as well a description of the anticipated synergistic land use changes. The scope of proposed improvements will generally follow the findings of this study and will also be informed by the previous SMART Station/Solano Express Feasibility Study. Deliverable: Caltrans Division of Rail and Mass Transportation PSR

4 11 Jan 2021 Rev 1 82

Limitations 1. Arup will provide draft deliverable(s) as indicated. STA will distribute the draft deliverable(s) to stakeholders as appropriate and will, after review, provide Arup with one set of internally consistent comments for inclusion into the final deliverable(s). 2. Arup and STA will agree mutually on the overall project schedule and durations of review periods and reasonable durations for Arup to make document revisions and provide final deliverables. Arup has proposed a six-month schedule for this project. 3. STA and/or Capital Corridor will provide Arup with additional planning staff who will report to the Arup project manager. Arup assumes 40-60 hours of this planning resource will be available to assist in this study. 4. STA will organize all Workshops or other public presentations, including setting dates, creating and distributing agendas and recording and distributing comments and outcomes of the workshops. Cost Proposal The cost to provide this scope of work is $93,000, as detailed on the following page.

Schedule Arup anticipates a six month schedule for this project.

86 Agenda Item 10.B February 10, 2021

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Brent Rosenwald, Planning Assistant RE: Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 County Program Manager Funds

Background: The Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) is collected from a $4 fee on all vehicle registrations within the Air District’s boundaries. 60% of these funds are applied to the TFCA Regional Program, which is administered by BAAQMD. The remaining 40% is distributed to each Bay Area county Congestion Management Agency (CMA) and is called County Program Manager Funds.

The BAAQMD, in coordination with the nine Bay Area CMAs, establishes TFCA policies for both programs annually. Eligible TFCA projects are those that reduce air pollution from motor vehicles, such as clean air vehicles and infrastructure, carpools/vanpools, shuttle bus services, bicycle projects, and alternative mode promotional/educational projects. Southwestern portions of Solano County are eligible to apply for these funds. The BAAQMD air basin includes the cities of Benicia, Fairfield, Suisun City, and Vallejo, as well as the surrounding unincorporated areas. The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District provides similar funding (i.e. Clean Air Funds through a different process) for the remaining cities of Dixon, Rio Vista, Vacaville, and the surrounding unincorporated areas.

All eligible projects must meet cost effectiveness requirements related to the amount of emission reductions and must submit monitoring reports twice a year. Project Categories for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 are: Alternative Fuel Light-Duty Vehicles, Alternative Fuel Medium-Duty Vehicles, Alternative Fuel Heavy-Duty Vehicles and Buses, On-Road Truck Replacements, Alternative Fuel Infrastructure, Ridesharing Projects – Existing, Shuttle/Feed Bus Service – Existing, Shuttle/Feeder Bus Service – Pilot, Pilot Trip Reduction, Bicycle Projects, Bike Share, Bicycle Parking, Arterial Management, Infrastructure Improvements for Trip Reduction, and Telecommuting. Some past projects funded through the Solano TFCA program include, Solano Mobility, First/Last Mile Lyft Pilot program, and electric vehicle charging stations, Electric shuttle buses, and Safe Routes to School projects. STA staff aims to identify projects that align well with the goals of both the BAAQMD and STA Board.

Discussion: There is an estimated total of $399,779 in TFCA Program Manager funds available for programming in FY 2021-22.

As stated above, over the past few years, the STA Board has committed BAAQMD TFCA funds to fund Solano Mobility and its employer and vanpool programs. These Rideshare and Employer Incentives programs are a cost effective and successful program in terms of air emission reduction benefits as calculated through the BAAQMD’s TFCA program. It also remains a priority program for the STA Board to reduce congestion, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to promote the use of travel alternatives, including Active 87 Transportation (Bike and Ped) in Solano County. Benefits of the program include marketing and promotion of commute alternatives through transit brochure distribution, vanpool formations, bicycle and pedestrian education, employer programs, marketing events, and incentive campaigns. Similarly, to last year, STA staff proposes to allocate $175,000 to fund Solano Mobility and its accompanying programs. This financial commitment to Solano Mobility is one of three primary funding sources for Solano Mobility Programs (the other are the One Bay Area Grant and State Transit Assistance Funds).

In addition to dedicating funds to the Solano Mobility Program, last year the STA Board approved $100,000 a year TFCA funds for four years to support the vehicle electrification or Electric Vehicle (EV) effort This effort is to fund charging stations through the BAAQMD basin of Solano County. This is the 2nd year of the charge program implementation. Last year, STA awarded $75,000 of this set aside fund with $35,000 allocated to Vallejo to install ten (10) 240 volt EV chargers and $40,000 to Cal Maritime to procure install a DC fast charger-the first of its kind in the county- for their campus wide electric van. This year the program has already received interest from the County and Cal Maritime to install charging stations at their facilities. STA staff will be seeking additional grant funding to match the TFCA allocation for more opportunities to install additional charging stations and provide project management services for agencies that desire such assistance.

After accounting for the Solano Mobility Program and Solano EV Charging Station Implementation, a total estimate $124,779 is available for other eligible clean air projects. These funds are the amount available for the Call for Clean Air Funds that is part if this staff report. Additionally, this year, the BAAQMD updated the Expenditure Plan Guidance to include the following changes for eligible TFCA projects (Attachment A):

• Increased the cost‐effectiveness limit for alternative fuel infrastructure, shuttle/feeder bus service, infrastructure improvements for trip reduction, and arterial management • Adjusted policy #6, Readiness, to allow more time for projects to commence • Clarify that vehicles are not required to be maintained and operated 100% within the Air District’s jurisdiction • Broaden the definition of eligible vehicles for On‐Road Truck Replacements to include all on‐road trucks • Align bikeway projects with other infrastructure projects’ requirement to complete all applicable environmental reviews before funds can be committed • Rename policy #33 to Infrastructure Improvements for Trip Reduction to clarify the intent, which is to support improvements that result in motor vehicle ‐ emission reductions • Add policy #34, Telecommuting, as a new project category

None of the changes included in the FY 2021-22 Expenditure Plan Guidance will jeopardize STA and its member agencies’ eligibility to utilize the funds for current projects and programs. STA staff is recommending the STA Board adopt the BAAQMD FY 2021-22 Expenditure Plan Guidance for FY 2021-22 TFCA County Program Manager fund allocation and issue a call for projects for the remaining fund balance of $124,779. STA will also require project leads to submit dated work plans and/or timelines to ensure better project delivery accountability.

The FY 21-22 TFCA County Program Manager funds and subsequent funding proposals were approved by the TAC on January 27th.

Fiscal Impact: The FY 2021-22 preliminary estimate provided by BAAQMD indicates $399,779 available for programmable funds. After accounting for the Solano Mobility Program and Solano EV Charging Station Implementation, a total estimate $124,779 is available for other eligible clean air projects.

Recommendation: Approve the following: 1. Adopt the FY 2021-22 BAAQMD Expenditure Plan Guidance criteria for the TFCA County Program Manager fund; 2. $175,000 from FY 2021-22 TFCA Program Manager Funds for the Solano Mobility Program; and 3. $100,000 for the Solano EV Charging Station Implementation; and 4. Issue a Call for Projects for the remaining balance ($124,779) of FY 2021-22 TFCA Program Manager Funds.

BAAQMD Transportation Fund for Clean Air Page 8 92 Agenda Item 10.C February 10, 2021

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Erika McLitus, Project Assistant RE: Local Road Safety Plans and Regional Vision Zero Policies

Background: Federal regulations require that each State has a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). A SHSP is a statewide data-driven traffic safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. In coordination with federal, state, local and private sector safety stakeholders, the SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and emphasis (or challenge) areas. The SHSP address the 4Es of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services.

While the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) provides a framework for organizing stakeholders to systematically identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads. LRSPs create an opportunity to address unique highway safety needs in local jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP. These Plans can be continually reviewed and updated to reflect changing local needs and priorities and incorporate a data-driven approach resulting in a prioritized list of improvements and actions that can demonstrate a defined need and contribute to the statewide plan. The LRSP offers a proactive approach to addressing safety needs and demonstrates agency responsiveness to safety challenges.

The California Transportation Commission (CTC) allocated $10 million in 2019 and another $8 million of state funds in June 2020 for the purpose of assisting local agencies in developing their LRSPs. The funds will be awarded to the applicants on a "first come first serve" basis and the award size is determined by the lane miles and population of the applicant. There is no application deadline and Caltrans will continue to accept applications as long as the funding is available.

Discussion: Beginning with HSIP Cycle 11 in 2022, a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP), or its equivalent such as Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) or Vision Zero Action Plan, will be required for an agency to be eligible to apply for federal HSIP funds. It is likely that many other state funding programs will adopt similar requirements within the next several years. Though STA and its member agencies completed a Countywide Solano Travel Safety Plan in Spring 2018, but it will not fulfill the new LRSP requirement.

Additionally, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) will be releasing guidelines for the Cycle 3 of the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG 3) program in early 2021. MTC staff has indicated that the adoption of Vision Zero policies or their equivalent may be incorporated as a recommendation or requirement for eligibility. On June 12, 2020 MTC passed Resolution 4400: Regional Safety/Vision Zero Policy to establish a region-wide policy of intent to work with Bay Area agencies to encourage and support actions towards eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries in the Bay Area by 2030. This Vision Zero policy aims to motivate and facilitate action 93 across the region by eliminating some duplication of costs among local jurisdictions through a regional safety strategy and approach wherein MTC provides data and technical assistance to jurisdictions that need it, allowing local governments to redirect their limited safety dollars towards enforcement and engineering. The policy establishes a framework of principles and actions to guide MTC staff in working towards the policy goals as summarized below: 1. Provide regional leadership to promote safety, engaging and incentivizing leadership across jurisdictions to prioritize safety and work towards aligning funding policy with safety goals. 2. Apply a data driven approach to inform safety policy and strategic use of available funds and resources. Regional safety data will be housed at MTC so that local jurisdictions can benefit from consistent and reliable data. 3. Promote equity in regional safety policies by considering and analyzing impacts on communities of concern and protecting vulnerable roadway users, such as pedestrians and bicyclists. 4. Support beneficial safety policies and legislation that target evidence-based solutions to safety problems. 5. Engage key regional stakeholders for safety policy development, implementation, and collaboration on safety best practices. Provide education and technical assistance within budgetary constraints.

To complement the Regional Vision Zero Policy, MTC staff is working to establish a regional safety program that will enhance access to reliable and consistent data by integrating several available sources into a single regional safety data repository, use this data to inform and develop regional policy and support legislation that has been proven effective, such as lowered speed limits and automated speed enforcement, and support jurisdictions by providing technical assistance with safety planning. These strategies will tie into key Plan Bay Area 2050 goals, by encouraging active transportation, reducing reliance on greenhouse gas emitting modes of transportation, and addressing significant equity issues.

In order to help local agencies be proactive in meeting these new eligibility requirements for state and regional funding, STA staff proposes a Countywide LRSP that will include individual plans for each jurisdiction. The Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan would also create an opportunity for the STA Board to adopt a countywide Vision Zero policy, providing blanket eligibility for all Solano jurisdictions pursuing State or Regional funding opportunities. Several jurisdictions have already applied for funding through the LSRP program:

Jurisdiction Application Status Amount Requested or Received City of Benicia City will request funding soon. City of Dixon Application approved 12/31/20 $40,000 City of Fairfield City will request funding soon City of Rio Vista Application approved 10/16/20 $40,000 Solano County County will request funding soon Suisun City Application approved 12/14/20 $40,000 City of Vacaville Application approved 10/16/20 $72,000 City of Vallejo Application approved 12/31/20 $72,000

Coordinated Effort: If multiple jurisdictions apply for LRSP funding and agree to combine funding awards to finance this endeavor, it would alleviate financial burdens on smaller jurisdictions and facilitate a coordinated effort to ensure that all Solano jurisdictions remain eligible for state and regional transportation funding. This approach will be both cost and time efficient, minimizing the burden on local agency staff. Pending STA Board approval, STA staff would hire a consultant and 94 manage this project, ensuring each participating agencies coordination throughout the plan development process. The countywide analysis and LRSP must be completed within 36 months of the local agencies’ allocation requests. Staff is seeking support for a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan funded with all the agencies CTC funding set-aside.

During their meeting on January 27, 2021 the STA TAC affirmed their support for pooling resources to fund a countywide planning effort and moved to forward a recommendation to the STA Board to allow the STA to begin the process of developing a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan and a Vision Zero Policy. Solano County will complete their own Plan, and the STA will use their work as a chapter in the countywide plan.

Fiscal Impact: None to the STA Budget. The Study will be funded with pooled HSIP funds from each participating agency.

Recommendation: Authorize the Executive Director to: 1. Develop a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan and a Vision Zero Policy; 2. Enter into a Countywide funding agreement to fund a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan with pooled HSIP funds; 3. Issue a Request for Proposals (RFPs) for a Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan; and 4. Enter into a contract for an amount not-to-exceed $400,000 for the Solano Countywide Local Road Safety Plan.

96 Agenda Item 11.A February 10, 2021

DATE: January 18, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Brandon Thomson, Transit Mobility Coordinator Diane Feinstein, Transportation Manager, FAST RE: SolanoExpress Service Adjustments-Blue and GreenExpress Lines

Background: The health crisis created by the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic led to rapid and significant modifications to the SolanoExpress services. Since the initial reductions of service, STA staff and the transit agencies’ staff from Solano County Transit (SolTrans) and Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST) have worked on plans to stabilize the service and create a connected and sustainable longer-term express bus service plan. The operators used a combination of reductions in service, frequency (trips per hour) and the span of service (start time to finish time of available service) to attain a roughly 50% reduction in service. STA staff and consultants developed the SolanoExpress Partial Service Restoration Plan and budget in coordination that addresses the health and safety, ridership demands, and financial sustainability of service given the global pandemic. The SolanoExpress Partial Restoration Plan was approved by the STA Board on June 10, 2020 and implemented July 2020 by SolTrans and FAST.

Discussion: Since the initial implementation of the SolanoExpress Partial Restoration Plan in July 2020, Staff from STA, SolTrans and FAST have been monitoring the performance of the SolanoExpress system. Based upon staff observations and recommendation from SolTrans, modifications were made to the Red Line that included the expansion of RT 82 as a pilot into San Francisco and was approved by the STA Board on December 9, 2020. Staff continues to monitor the SolanoExpress system for functionality and overall performance staff recommends modifications to the Blue Line and GreenExpress. Based on this monitoring, staff is recommending modifications to the Blue Line and the GreenExpress.

Staff proposes is to modify the Blue Line Weekday service by moving the 8:04 PM Dixon Park- and-Ride stop to 7:14. This slight modification is being recommended based upon recent ridership trends and with the understanding that inefficient routes can be reduced with minimal to no impact on ridership. This modification can be found on Attachment A.

The second recommendation on the Blue Line pertains to Saturday service. Currently, Saturday, Blue Line ridership, is roughly 40% of pre-pandemic levels and passengers per revenue hour are at an all-time low of 1.57 passengers per hour, which is far below the performance benchmarks. Given these two service statistics, staff proposes reducing frequency from one hour to roughly two hours as this will increase productivity and reduce cost per passenger, which is currently $123.00/hr. Under this scenario, consideration was given to provide “Lifeline Service” between Pleasant Hill BART and UC Davis. The proposed schedule can be found on Attachment B.

97 The recommendation to modify the GreenExpress came through FAST staff observations as well current ridership requests. While observing ridership trends, staff observed high demand to depart the County between 4:10 AM and 5:56 AM and high demand to return to the County between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM. Furthermore, staff received several requests from riders to add an earlier return trip. As such, FAST and STA staff recommends a modification to the GreenExpress by eliminating the current 7:30 PM departure from El Cerrito del Norte BART and replace it with an earlier departure of 3:30 PM. This modification can be found on Attachment C.

The recommendation to forward to the STA Board to conduct a Public Hearing was unanimously approved by the Intercity Transit Consortium and the STA Technical Advisory Committee at their January meetings.

Fiscal Impact: The recommended changes are within the budgeted hours for the SolanoExpress Blue Line and GreenExpress.

Recommendation: Conduct a Public Hearing for the proposed Blue and GreenExpress Line changes as outlined in Attachments A, B, and C.

DATE: January 15, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Robert Guerrero, STA Planning Director RE: Solano Housing Investment Partnership County Collaborative Designation

Background: The Solano Housing Investment Partnership (SolHIP) was created in 2019 in response to the Bay Area and the State’s housing crisis. Through the leadership of the STA Board, the County of Solano and it seven cities, the SolHIP was formed with a focus on housing production in Solano County. Each agency collectively matched the STA’s funding contribution by applying a small portion of their State SB2 Housing Production Planning Grant funds towards this effort. Placeworks was hired to assist in this effort. The original scope of work is attached (Attachment A).

The SolHIP was recognized by MTC/ABAG and the State Housing and Community Development (HCD) as a model for other counties given our collaborative planning process and technical assistance provided to each agency. San Mateo County was the only other county in the Bay Area that had a similar effort through the 21 Elements process. However, what sets Solano apart is our strong focus on transportation and housing partnership (i.e., the STA’s facilitation and resources applied towards the effort).

Benefits since the SolHIP was formed include: • Solano County received $4 Million in transportation funding (Suburban Housing Investment Pool (SubHIP) Funds) to advance affordable housing projects at the Fairfield Vacaville Train Station and the Vacaville Transportation Center. Both Priority Development Area locations did not have an affordable housing project previously. • Identified near term affordable housing projects in Vallejo, Suisun, Dixon and Fairfield through letters of interest for future SubHIP funding • Provided housing grant technical assistance for each city and county for future housing development and assisted in Solano County being the only Bay Area County to have each agency submit their Local Early Action Planning Grant requests on time (the State had to extend their deadline due to other jurisdictions not able to submit on time). • Facilitated a partnership with the cities of Benicia, Dixon, Rio Vista, Suisun City and Vallejo to pool planning funds for updating their individual Housing Elements. The County is considering their needs and looking for opportunities to participate. • Facilitation and administration of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Process in partnership with County of Solano

Discussion: Funding for the SolHIP is estimated to last until the end of the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year. Concurrently, ABAG has set aside a portion of their Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) funds ($543,000 out of $23 million) to continue the SolHIP effort for the next three years. The majority of the remaining balance of REAP funding will be made directly to cities and counties for their Housing Element update and implementation, with a small portion made available 107 competitively. An expanded scope of work for the continuance of the SolHIP is included as Attachment B. The primary focus of the SolHIP continues to be the support of Housing Production for each agency.

In order for the SolHIP to access the funding, Solano County will need to designate STA as the ABAG’s County Collaborative. Given the existing structure of the SolHIP and strong nexus between transportation and housing, STA staff is recommending the STA Board request to the Solano County Board of Supervisors to formally designate the STA as the County Collaborative at this time. Funding for the County Collaborative will be through FY 2023-24.

Fiscal Impact: Association of Bay Area Governments will provide $181,000 annually for the next 3 year to County Collaboratives such as the Solano Housing Investment Partnership (SolHIP) to produce housing.

Recommendation: Approve a request to the Solano County Board of Supervisors to designate the Solano Housing Investment Partnership (SolHIP) as the Association of Bay Area Government’s County Collaborative for Solano County.

108 Attachment A

2019 Solano Housing Investment Partnership Scope of Work:

The scope of work for SolHIP shall generally consist of the following: 1. Develop an inventory of available potential housing sites in all seven (7) cities and in unincorporated Solano County. The sites shall be categorized by tiers, with tier 1 being fully entitled sites, tier 2 being sites that could be developed in the short-term (1 to 3 years) with predevelopment work and/or infrastructure investment, and tier 3 sites being those that could be developed in the longer term (3 to 5 years). The sites shall be mapped and specify very low, low, moderate and above market sites. 2. Examine policy options, using case studies and best practices, to identify potential zoning, development review processes, development fee changes and other policy areas that could be implemented to spur additional housing development. This should include an evaluation of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinances and affordable housing. 3. Identify and summarize potential public and private funding sources that can be accessed to help create additional housing opportunities, specifically affordable housing located in PDAs adjacent to regional transit service. The summary should include details on the funding sources, timing of the funding, funding restrictions and key contacts. This section should also evaluate current legislative housing funding proposals. 4. Provide technical assistance to cities that need support to address state and regional housing requirements and to submit for regional and state funding programs and countywide coordination with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), State Housing and Community Development Agency (HCD), the Strategic Growth Council (SGC), and other relevant agencies. 5. Identify 2 to 3 or more catalyst housing sites within each Priority Development Area and develop a summary of the key obstacles that need to be overcome to bring each site to a development ready position, including identifying regulatory and funding issues. 6. Develop product type, conceptual design criteria and project feasibility to encourage housing and mixed-use development in each community's downtown area. This should include a discussion of how the communities can encourage this type of development (policy changes, funding, etc.). 7. Identify local and state resource agencies that have vested interests in partnering for the purposes of housing and employment production in Solano County.

109 Attachment B

Draft Expanded Solano Housing Investment Partnership (SolHIP) Scope of Work Goal: Continue supporting the County of Solano and the seven cities in updating and implementing their Housing Elements through information sharing, implementation funding, technical assistance and collaboration. It is proposed that the following activities would be undertaken:

1) Establish a housing roundtable through quarterly SolHIP meetings to facilitate discussion of countywide opportunities for housing policies and programs, sharing of information and best practices. An experienced planning and housing firm will be used to assist in this facilitation.

2) Establish a grant program to provide jurisdictions with funding to complete their Housing Elements, fund implementation programs and other needs associated with updating local planning and zoning documents, expediting the entitlement process, and other actions to accelerate additional housing production, with a focus on affordable housing.

3) Augment staffing by developing a bench of consultants to provide direct staff support to Solano County’s seven cities and the County to move specific projects from planning stages to the actual production of affordable housing. The consultants would operate, in essence, as an extension of staff on specific housing opportunities.

The intent is to provide very specific staff level support that may be required to increase housing production on a project specific basis which will go beyond the level of support ABAG can offer through their Regional Early Action Planning program.

The focus of the technical assistance would be as follows:

1) Developer selection and negotiation 2) Financial feasibility, including pro form development and analysis 3) Developing options for off-site infrastructure financing 4) Developing potential development options to enhance project feasibility 5) Identification and assistance in applying for grants and funding options 6) Assist project(s) through the entitlement process

The bench would be established though a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process. Once the bench is established, the local jurisdiction can request assistance from one or more of the consultants to help bring a project from conception to construction. The STA and local jurisdiction will agree prior to work starting to the scope of work and estimated number of hours required.

The STA and Solano County would enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) naming STA as Solano County’s Collaboration designee and formalizing the use of funds.

If request is of interest, a budget will be developed.

110 Agenda Item 11.C February 10, 2021

DATE: January 29, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Vincent Ma, Marketing and Legislative Program Manager RE: Legislative Update

Background: Each year, STA staff monitors state and federal legislation that pertains to transportation and related issues. On January 13, 2021, the STA Board approved its 2021 Legislative Platform to provide policy guidance on transportation legislation and the STA’s legislative activities during 2021.

Monthly legislative updates are provided by STA’s state and federal lobbyists and are attached for your information (Attachments A, and B). An updated Legislative Bill Matrix listing state bills of interest is available at: https://sta.ca.gov/operations/legislative-program/current/

Discussion: On January 8th, Governor Gavin Newson released the State Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22. In contrast to the $54.3 billion deficit projected in 2020, this budget projects $34 billion in budget resiliency (combination of $22 billion for reserves and $12 billion in surplus). California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) Secretary David Kim provided a briefing on the Governor’s budget and highlighted four budget priorities - distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, providing direct relief payments to Californians, assisting small businesses, and ensuring safety and equity as students return to school. Additional priorities include homelessness, affordable housing, and wildfire prevention. Transportation priorities in the budget are focused on job creation through the funding of infrastructure projects and construction jobs, and Transportation Development Act (TDA) reform. Budget Trailer Bills are still being introduced and staff will provide summaries and analysis as they are introduced. The California Legislature returned to session on January 11th and barring any additional delays, the deadline for new bills to be introduced is February 19th. An updated budget revision will be released in May, and the Legislature is required to pass the budget by June 15, 2021.

Assembly Member Cecilia Aguiar-Curry introduced Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 1, which would lower the voter threshold from a two-thirds majority to 55 percent to approve local general obligation bonds and special taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects. Staff recommends that the STA Board SUPPORT ACA 1, as it aligns with STA 2020 Legislative Platform Objectives #7: “Support initiatives to pursue the 55% voter threshold for local transportation infrastructure measures.” And STA 2020 Legislative Platform VI Funding #11: “Support initiatives to pursue the 55% or lower voter threshold for local transportation infrastructure measures. Any provisions of the State to require a contribution for maintenance on a project included in a local measure must have a nexus to the project being funded by the measure.” The STA Board previously supported an identical bill that was introduced during the 2019-20 Legislative Session.

111 Senator Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica) introduced Senate Bill 44 (SB44) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): streamlined judicial review: environmental leadership transit projects. According to the bill text, “this bill would establish specified procedures for the administrative and judicial review of the environmental review and approvals granted for environmental leadership transit project, as defined, undertaken by a public agency.” Staff recommends that the STA Board SUPPORT SB 44 as it aligns with STA 2021 Legislative Platform II Climate Change/Air Quality #6: “Support policies that improve and streamline the environmental review process, including the establishment and use of mitigation banks and advanced mitigation programs,” and IV Environmental #8: “Advocate for further streamlining of project delivery requirements to allow projects to advance quicker and more cost-effectively.”

At their January meeting, the STA TAC approved the recommendation to forward the support of these two bills to the STA Board for approval.

On January 20th, the new administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn into office. The results from the January 5th Georgia runoff election created a 50-50 split in the Senate, with Vice-President Harris being the tie-breaker, and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) replacing Senator Mitch McConnel (R-KY) as Senate Majority Leader, and joining House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to give Democrats control of both Legislative Chambers.

President Biden nominated Pete Buttigieg for Secretary of Transportation and appointed Nuria Fernandez, former General Manager/CEO of Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, as Deputy Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration. The Senate Commerce Committee advanced Buttigieg’s nomination in a 21-3 vote to the full Senate. A full Senate vote has not yet been scheduled.

State Legislative Update (Shaw/Yoder/Antwih/Schmelzer/Lange): STA’s state legislative advocate (Matt Robinson and Josh Shaw of Shaw Yoder) will present their February report during the STA Board Meeting.

Updates on the following are detailed in Attachment A:

• Legislative Update • Bills of Interest

Federal Legislative Update (Akin Gump): STA’s federal legislative advocate (Susan Lent of Akin Gump) continues to work with STA staff and will craft STA’s strategic objectives to align with those of the new administration. Staff is also working to setup meetings between the STA Board, Representatives John Garamendi and Mike Thompson, and key federal agencies to advocate for Solano County’s priority projects.

Updates on the following are detailed in Attachment B:

• A Biden Administration Developments th • The 117 Congress • Biden’s Coronavirus Stimulus Package ($1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan) o $20 billion for public transit systems. o $350 billion in funding assistance for state, local and territorial governments. o Direct stimulus payments of $1,400 per person, p • Executive Orders o Environmental Streamlining o Buy American 112 o Mask Mandate • Surface Transportation Reauthorization • Potential Bills of Interest

Fiscal Impact: None.

Recommendation: 1. SUPPORT ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) Local Government Financing: Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure: Voter Approval 2. SUPPORT SB 44 (Allen) California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): streamlined judicial review: environmental leadership transit projects

FM: Joshua W. Shaw, Matt Robinson & Michael Pimentel, Shaw Yoder Antwih Schmelzer & Lange

RE: STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE – February 2021

Legislative Update On January 8, Governor Newsom released his FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget. The Governor’s $227 billion budget highlights a number of the Administration’s priorities and the Governor led out by noting his focus on pandemic response, healthcare (vaccines), education (school reopening), economic recovery (including stimulus), homelessness & housing, and wildfire response. In a surprise turn, the Governor stated today that compared to the $54.3 billion budget deficit from 2020, California is currently seeing a $34 billion budget resiliency according to what the state has in its reserves and in surplus, and projects to maintain approximately $22 billion in reserves. These updated projections starkly contrast the update the Governor gave in May 2020, when the state was projecting massive unemployment and revenue losses over an extended period of time. The Governor did offer a word of caution and noted that budget resiliency will be critical to protect programs in the future, as expenditures are projected to grow faster than revenues, with a structural deficit of $7.6 billion projected for 2022-23 that is forecast to grow to over $11 billion by 2024-25. The Governor’s Budget Summary can be found here.

Transportation Funding In the Governor’s Budget Summary (see link above), the narrative is focused on job creation, encouraging federal investment in infrastructure, supporting transit’s recovery, and reducing emissions from the transportation sector. For a breakdown of the anticipated revenues and expenditures for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 for the state’s core transportation programs, please see the table below. Note: the table does not reflect anticipated revenues from Cap & Trade flowing to the various continuously appropriated transportation programs (TIRCP, LTCOP). In FY 2020-21/2021-22, the programs are expected to generate $100 million / $106 million and $200 million / $213 million, respectively. Finally, the LTF is estimated to generate approximately $1.8 billion in both FY 2020-21 and 2021-22.

115

Additionally, the Budget recommends "regulatory and reporting relief" related to the Transportation Development Act, allowing agencies to plan with more certainty and flexibility for the expenditure of state transit funding. The proposed statutory language has not been released yet, but we will provide additional details on the parameters of the relief, when available.

As for Cap & Trade, the Budget includes a $1.369 billion expenditure plan ($624 million for Early Action in 2020- 21 and $745 million in 2021-22) to provide funding for programs that reduce or sequester greenhouse gases (GHGs). Included in this total is $315 million for Clean Trucks, Buses & Off-Road Freight Equipment, split $165 million in early action and $150 million for the budget year. Historically, this line item has supported the California Air Resources Board's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (commonly referred to as HVIP), which provides vouchers to transit agencies for the purchase of zero-emission buses. Please see the table below for the proposed Cap & Trade expenditure plan.

116

While not part of Cap & Trade Expenditure Plan, the Budget includes $1 billion in future revenues to increase the pace and scale of the construction of electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling stations necessary to accelerate zero-emission vehicle adoption. The Budget proposes statutory changes to extend existing vehicle registration fees currently set to expire in 2024 and to authorize the securitization of these future revenues to support expansion of the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program, which supports infrastructure development for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

The Governor’s Proposed Budget must now make its way through the Legislature. While we do expect some early actions related to the pandemic, the budget bill is not due to the Governor until June 15, 2021, with the new fiscal year beginning July 1.

In terms of upcoming legislative deadlines, bills must be introduced by February 19. As a reminder, the 2021 Legislative Calendars can be found here (Senate) and here (Assembly). These contain the deadlines and recess schedules for 2021. We expect the Legislature will maintain most of the social distancing protocols used in 2020 for committee hearings and floor sessions through early-2021.

117

Bills of Interest SB 44 (Allen) CEQA: Streamlined Judicial Review: Environmental Leadership Transit Projects. This bill would establish procedures for the expedited administrative and judicial review of a fixed guideway transit project undertaken by a public agency that meets certain criteria and deemed to be an “environmental leadership” project. More specifically, the bill would require the Judicial Council, on or before April 1, 2022, to adopt rules of court establishing procedures requiring actions or proceedings seeking judicial review pursuant to CEQA or the granting of project approvals, including any appeals to the court of appeal or the Supreme Court, to be resolved, to the extent feasible, within 270 days of the filing of the certified record of proceedings with the court to an action or proceeding seeking judicial review of the lead agency’s action related to an environmental leadership transit project. We recommend the STA Board SUPPORT this bill.

ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) Local Government Financing: Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure: Voter Approval. This constitutional amendment would lower the necessary voter threshold from a two-thirds supermajority to 55 percent to approve local general obligation bonds and special taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects, including public transit. The STA Board supported a nearly identical measure, also ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry), in 2019. We recommend the STA Board SUPPORT this measure.

MEMORANDUM

January 27, 2020

To: Solano Transportation Authority From: Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP Re: January Report

In January, Susan Lent briefed the Solano Transportation Authority Board on developments in Washington and our recommendations for achieving STA’s funding and policy objectives. We also monitored developments with the Biden Administration and the new Congress and brought them to the attention of STA staff.

Biden Administration Developments

On January 20, Joseph Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. Kamala Harris was sworn in as the Vice President of the United States. President Biden nominated Pete Buttigieg to serve as the Secretary of Transportation. On January 21, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation held a hearing to consider his nomination. The Committee plans to vote on the nomination on Wednesday and the full Senate is likely to vote later this week. The Senate is likely to approve Buttigieg’s nomination with bipartisan support. Buttigieg will play a key part in implementing Biden's ambitious infrastructure plan. The Biden Administration also announced the nomination and appointment of a number of DOT officials, including:

 Polly Trottenberg, who was most recently commissioner of the New York City DOT, was nominated to serve as Deputy Secretary of Transportation;  Nuria Fernandez, who was CEO and general manager of the Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Authority and former Acting FTA Administrator in the Clinton Administration, will serve as the Federal Transit Administration’s Deputy Administrator;  Stephanie Pollack, who most recently served as secretary of the Massachusetts DOT, will serve as Deputy Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration; and  Amit Bose, who held several senior roles at DOT and FRA in the Obama Administration, will serve as the Federal Railroad Administration’s Deputy Administrator.

The 117th Congress

The 117th Congress convened on January 3. The Senate is split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaker. Senator Chuck Schumer will be the Majority Leader. Alex Padilla replaced Kamala Harris as the junior senator representing California.

Yesterday, Leaders Schumer and McConnell reached a power sharing agreement that will allow the Senate committees to organize. While the agreement is not public, Democratic Senators likely will

119 chair the committees, but there will be an even split between Democrats and Republicans on the committees. Rules would allow bills to advance to the floor for full consideration by the Senate with a tie vote in committee. Speaker Pelosi will preside over the House as Speaker, but will have a narrower majority.

Biden’s Coronavirus Stimulus Package

On January 14, Biden released his American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. The proposal sets a goal of administering 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine within the first 100 days of the Biden administration, as well as reopening the majority of kindergarten through eighth grade schools. Highlights include:

 $20 billion for public transit systems.  $350 billion in funding assistance for state, local and territorial governments.  Direct stimulus payments of $1,400 per person, plus extending unemployment compensation, raising the minimum wage, continuing eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, and increasing the Child Tax Credit while making it fully refundable.  $160 billion for coronavirus measures, including $20 billion for a national vaccination program, $50 billion for increasing COVID-19 testing, and $40 billion for personal protective equipment supply manufacturing and utilizing emergency response personnel.  $35 billion to leverage $175 billion in low-interest loans for small businesses and $15 billion in grants for such businesses to retain employees.

Executive Orders

President Biden has issued 33 Executive Orders since taking office covering a range of issues. Executive Orders cannot change law, but can direct federal department and agency officials to take action consistent with law. The following executive orders may be relevant to STA. We also are attaching our executive order tracker.

Environmental Streamlining

On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis. The order instructs all agency heads to immediately review all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021, that are or may be inconsistent with the order. The executive order also rejoins the Paris Climate Agreement, revokes the 2019 permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, and establishes an “Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases”.

Of note, this order revokes a series of executive orders from the Trump Administration, including the Executive Orders titled Expediting Environmental Reviews and Approvals for High Priority Infrastructure Projects, Accelerating Nation’s Economic Recovery from the COVID-19 Emergency by Expediting Infrastructure Investments and Other Activities, and Establishing Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure Projects. The

2

120 Executive Order cannot and did not revoke the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) final rule on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which streamlined the environmental review process, however, Congress or CEQ is likely to revoke this rule in whole or part.

Buy American

On January 25, President Biden issued an Executive Order on Ensuring the Future Is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers. The Order creates a new “Made in America” Office at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review and approve all potential waivers by federal agencies to laws and regulations that require, or provide a preference for, the purchase or acquisition of goods, products, or materials produced in the United States, including iron, steel, and manufactured goods.

While the only immediate impact of the action is creating the “Made in America” office, the change in waiver procedure requirements could have significant impacts on certain grant and loan programs as well as on government procurements. Notably, the Executive Order broadly applies to all statutes or regulations that require or provide a domestic preference including grant and loan programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT already has an existing regulatory process for the submission, review and granting of Buy America waivers, including a public comment process. The order appears to change these procedures by requiring federal agencies to submit descriptions of proposed waivers and justifications to the Made in America Office and vest the Made in America Director with the authority to decide whether to grant a waiver. Currently, it is not clear how these changes in requirements will be implemented. For DOT grant and loan programs, the new waiver process may cause confusion and create delays.

Mask Mandate

On January 21, President Biden signed an Executive Order on Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel, which requires masks to be worn at airports, on commercial aircrafts, trains, ships, subways, intercity buses, and all forms of public transportation. The mandate backs up the CDC guidance that masks be worn by all passengers and operating personnel while on public transportation. It is not clear how FTA will implement the mandate regarding public transportation, but we expect they will publish guidance.

Surface Transportation Reauthorization

With the FAST Act legislation set to expire on September 30, the House and Senate committees of jurisdiction will begin working on reauthorization legislation early this year. President Biden has been a vocal supporter of a robust transportation bill and the Democratic majority in the Senate and the House could lead to potentially more robust transportation legislation. We also expect a renewed focus on green infrastructure, projects to address sea level rise and public transportation. With Democrats newly in control of the Senate they will consider these issues anew as they develop legislation. There remain questions regarding how to fund the legislation, but there may be bipartisan support for infrastructure spending as a means of economic stimulus. The House Democratic leadership had announced they would renew the practice of earmarking funds in legislation, including in the surface transportation bill. As Congress finishes organizing we are awaiting word on whether the House and Senate will move forward with the plan to earmark funds and how the earmarking process will work. 3

140 Agenda Item 12.A February 10, 2021

DATE: January 28, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Erika McLitus, Project Assistant RE: Project Delivery Update

Background: As the County Transportation Authority for Solano County, the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) works with its eight member agencies to allocate and program federal, state and regional transportation funds and to coordinate the programming and delivery of federal and state funded transportation projects. To aid in the delivery of locally sponsored projects, a Solano Project Delivery Working Group (PDWG) was formed, which assists in updating the STA’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on changes to State and Federal project delivery policies and updates the TAC about project delivery deadlines.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)’s Resolution 3606 describes delivery policies for the San Francisco Bay Area. MTC monitors projects that do not meet stated deadlines and reprograms funds to other project in the region; Caltrans further enforces the deadline by not supplying an E-76 authorization for construction past stated deadlines. Projects programmed in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 should have provided their Request for Authorization (RFA) to proceed with obligation from Caltrans by MTC’s November 1, 2020 deadline. Projects that fail to meet this deadline are subject to funds being reprogrammed to later years or loss of funds.

Discussion: Solano Countywide has three OBAG Cycle 1 projects scheduled Project on Schedule for obligation in FY 2016-17 and seven OBAG 2 Projects Project Behind Schedule or scheduled for obligation between FY 2018-19 and FY 2020-21.

146 Agenda Item 12.B February 10, 2021

DATE: January 7, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Lloyd Nadal, Program Services Division Manager Karin Bloesch, Sr. Program Coordinator RE: Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Micro-Grant Program Update

Background: In November 2019, the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) staff launched a SR2S Micro-Grant Pilot Program to support small-scale projects or capital purchases that improves bike and pedestrian usage and safety around schools in Solano County. SR2S staff first presented this item at the February 2019 SR2S Advisory Committee (SR2S-AC) meeting, at which the committee provided feedback on the feasibility, policy and procedures, process, timeline and implementation of the program.

In March 2019, the STA Board approved the pilot micro grant program that took place from November 19, 2019 to January 17, 2020. The SR2S team marketed the program over the two month period by issuing press releases, posting information on social media platforms, providing direct emails to schools and stakeholders, discussions at community task force meetings, and presentations at STA Bicycle Advisory Committee and Pedestrian Advisory Committee meetings.

Sixteen SR2S Micro-Grant Applications were received totaling $211,466.10. The applications were reviewed and scored by the micro grant subcommittee and a list of project funding recommendations was presented at the SR2S-AC in February 2020 for discussion and recommendation. Of the amount of total funds requested, $8,000 consisted of equipment, supplies and incentives which were all recommended for funding. The subcommittee recommended additional infrastructure projects in five of the seven Solano County cities and within six school districts, totalling 14 recommended projects. For projects that were not recommended for funding in this cycle, STA worked with the applicants to seek other potential sources such as air district funds, Transportation Development Act (TDA) and/or Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds.

The Micro Grant recommended projects were approved the same week that Solano County schools closed for an initial two week period due to COVID-19. This closure was extended to include the rest of the school year at the end of March 2020, and through the first semester of the 2020-21 school year for each district. In an effort to be sensitive to the new challenges facing schools, districts and cities this year staff has moved forward with coordinating projects with the grantees as they are ready to proceed.To date8 of the 14 projects have been completed (see attachment A).

Discussion: Due to the initial success of the SR2S Pilot Micro Grant Program, at the October joint meeting of the STA Bicycle Advisory and Pedestrian Advisory Committees (BAC/PAC), the Committee voted to recommend to the STA Board the allocation of TDA article 3 funds in the amount of 147 $91,530 for projects that were not selected in the initial SR2S microgrant program in FY 2019- 20 due to limited funding. These funds will flow to theprojects pending delivery coordination between schools and staff of the project sponsors. Any leftover capital funds will be added to the next round of microgrant programming due to potentially higher future demand.

For the second round of the SR2S Micro Grant, the BAC/PAC also recommended the allocation of $100,000 TDA article 3 funds to provide significant investment opportunities for small scale SR2S projects that encourage bicycle and pedestrian usage near schools. The allocation was approved by the STA Board at the December 9, 2020 meeting.

This year with an expanded budget, the SR2S program expects an increasingly robust interest from schools and cities countywide. Staff has updated the Micro Grant application and materials based on feedback from the SR2S-AC discussions and is developing a tentative timeline for the second round Micro Grant call for projects which we plan to launch in May 2021 with the $100,000 in available TDA article 3 funding.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Recommendation: Informational.

150 Agenda Item 12.C February 10, 2021

DATE: January 25, 2021 TO: STA Board FROM: Lloyd Nadal, Program Services Division Manager Karin Bloesch, Sr. Program Coordinator RE: Solano SR2S Program Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant Submittal

Background: OTS is a state agency whose goal is to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries. It seeks to accomplish this goal by making available grants to local and state public agencies for programs that help them enforce traffic laws, educate the public in traffic safety, and provide varied and effective means of reducing fatalities, injuries and economic losses from collisions. OTS draws from several federal government funding sources for its grants. OTS also mounts public awareness campaigns and acts as a primary traffic safety resource in order to enlist the help of the general public and the media encouraging traffic safety. The STA applied for and received two grants from the CA Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for FY 2017-18 to implement countywide collision data reporting software and provide funds for the SR2S Program Evaluation Project.

In 2018, the STA/SR2S Program was awarded a third OTS grant in the amount of $85,000 to host 5 workshops focused on pedestrian safety in Solano County, specifically addressing youth collisions. One main takeaway from these workshops was the need for more pedestrian safety education for both students and drivers. Police departments are an integral public safety partner of the SR2S Program by providing safety education and enforcement around schools. These public safety partners often lack the staffing levels due to retirements, open positions and competing priorities, or reduced funding to dedicate staff for proactive pedestrian and bike safety education and outreach for schools.

Since 2011, the SR2S Program has been allocating $150,000 in a 2-year grant cycle (using Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program funds (CMAQ)) to fund the Public Safety Education and Enforcement Grant, allowing departments to allocate staff or resources to support the SR2S goals and address safety around schools. For the current round (FYs 2020-22) of this SR2S Public Safety Grant, Benicia Police Department applied for $150,000 and Suisun City applied for $64,000 for the 2-year period, in total $214,000 was requested. With only $150,000 in available funding, the SR2S Advisory Committee recommended funding the Benicia Police Department $75,000 for one year, and SR2S staff offered to work to identify and apply for additional funding for FY 2021-22.

In December 2020, the STA Board allocated funding to the City of Benicia Police Department in the amount of $75,000 for FY 2020-21, and the City of Suisun City Police Department in the amount of $64,000 for both FYs 2020-22.

Discussion: The SR2S Program plans to apply for OTS Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Grant funds to support the additional year of work (FY 2021-22) for both the City of Benicia Police Department and the Suisun City Police Department. Funds awarded by the OTS grant will allowing existing program 151 funds to be used for future Public Safety Grants.

The OTS grant aligns with several of the SR2S Program E’s (Education, Encouragement, and Enforcement) with the goals directly addressing the mission of the SR2S Program to provide pedestrian and bike safety education, encourage active transportation, and increase safety around schools for students. If awarded, this grant would allow the SR2S Program to use the OTS funds to continue to work with these public safety partners, hold outreach events, and provide concentrated Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety education and enforcement in coordination with SR2S staff. These activities may include in-class presentations, school assembly presentations, bicycle rodeos, support for walking programs, Walk and Bike to School Day events, bike and pedestrian safety messaging, bike helmet enforcement, and support for crossing guard programs.

Fiscal Impact: No matching funds are required for OTS. STA applied for $230,000 for one year from the California Office of Traffic Safety.

Recommendation: Informational.
