Section A. Introduction

For the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP), CARB staff developed the STEP Benefits Calculator and accompanying STEP Quantification Methodology to provide guidance for estimating the GHG emission reductions and selected co-benefits of each proposed project type. This User Guide provides instructions for using the STEP Benefits Calculator (Section B) and an example project (Section C).

The STEP Benefits Calculator and supporting STEP Quantification Methodology are available for download at: www.arb.ca.gov/cci-resources. Methods and equations used in the STEP Benefits Calculator for estimating GHG emission reductions and air pollutant emission co-benefits are provided in the STEP Quantification Methodology.

Section B. Step-by-Step Guide

Overview Applicants will follow the steps outlined in the figure below to estimate the GHG emission reductions and selected co-benefits from the proposed project. Detailed instructions for each step are provided on subsequent pages. An example project showing how to estimate the GHG emission reductions and selected co-benefits from a project is included in Section C.

Figure 1. Steps to Estimating Benefits

June 1, 2020 Page 2 User Guide for the CARB STEP Pilot

Step 1a: Select the Service and Project Type(s)

Use the STEP Benefits Calculator to complete this step. The STEP Benefits Calculator can be downloaded from: www.arb.ca.gov/cci-resources.

Begin with the Read Me tab, which contains general information about the Benefits Calculator. Key terms used throughout the STEP Benefits Calculator are defined in the Definitions tab. The Documentation tab provides details on the documentation required to allow the calculations to be reviewed and replicated.

In Step 1a in the Project Info tab, identify the name of the project and the number of components that will be implemented within that single project. Then, select from the dropdown menu the Strategy and Project Type that aligns with each project within the proposal.

These strategy and project type combinations are not eligible as standalone projects. See the STEP Solicitation for more information on project eligibility for different combinations of strategies and project types.

Strategies and Project Types CARB identified three Strategies that are eligible for funding within STEP and for which there are methods to quantify GHG emission reductions, defined in the table below.

Table 1. Strategies Strategy Definition Active Includes projects such as bicycle, pedestrian, and complete streets Transportation infrastructure (e.g., crosswalks, sidewalks, bikeways). Includes projects such as transit station improvements, transit right-of-way improvements (e.g., lanes), transit Fixed-route operations improvements, transit passes, and improvements to Transit increase accessibility of transit (e.g., network/ integration, wayfinding, and signage). Includes projects such as zero-emission carshare, rideshare, vanpooling, carpooling, bikeshare, scooter share, ride-hailing, Shared shuttles, and (on-demand transit) services. Shared Mobility mobility projects should be complementary to existing public transit service. Shared mobility projects could include new service, operations, or promotion of ridership or pooling through subsidies.

June 1, 2020 Page 3 User Guide for the CARB STEP Pilot

CARB identified five corresponding Project Types that are eligible for funding within STEP and for which there are methods to quantify GHG emission reductions,1 defined in the table below. Table 2. Project Types Project Type Definition New Bikeway Projects that result in new class I bike paths, class II bike lanes, or Infrastructure class IV cycle tracks. New Projects that result in new pedestrian infrastructure such as Pedestrian sidewalks, walkways, or multi-use paths. Infrastructure New or Project that results in a new transportation service or expands an Expanded existing service. Examples include establishing a new car sharing Service program and adding new vehicles to an existing bus service. Project that improves or enhances an existing service (without System / expanding the service) that results in an increase in use of the Efficiency service. Examples include network/fare integration and Improvements development of a mobile app for the service. Free or reduced fare vouchers that increase the use of an existing Subsidies service.

Other project features/components may be eligible for funding under STEP even if no quantification methodology is provided. However, each project requesting GGRF funding must include at least one of the strategy and project type combinations shown in the table below.

Table 3. Strategies and Corresponding Project Types New New New or System / Pedestrian Bikeway Expanded Efficiency Subsidies Infrastructure Infrastructure Service Improvements Active Trans- X X portation Fixed-route X X X Transit Shared X X X Mobility

Once the strategy and project type are selected, the appropriate STEP quantification method for estimating GHG emission reductions, key variables, and selected co- benefits will automatically apply and indicate what further information is required, optional, or not required in the Inputs tab. So strategy and project type must be selected before other project-specific information is entered.

Step 4: Review the Estimated Benefits of the Proposed Project

GHG emission reductions, key variables, and selected co-benefits are calculated and displayed as the total benefit estimated from the project in the Output from Total GGRF Funds tab. All applicable benefits are also prorated based on the amount of funds contributed by STEP as a percent of the total GGRF funds, and are estimated in the Output from STEP Funds tab.

In Step 4, review the Output from Total GGRF Funds and Outputs from STEP Funds tabs to view the GHG emission reductions, key variables, and selected co-benefits of each proposed project and of the proposal overall. If there are any errors in the inputs, or if all the required inputs are not complete, the output cells in the summary tabs will be blank. Ensure that all of the information from Steps 1, 2, and 3 (in the Project Info, Inputs, and Community Engagement tabs) has been entered correctly and to the best of the applicant's ability.

The GHG emission reductions, key variables, and selected co-benefits include: • GHG emission reductions (MTCO2e) • Diesel PM emission reductions (lbs) • NOx emission reductions (lbs) • PM2.5 emission reductions (lbs) • ROG emission reductions (lbs) • Net passenger auto VMT reductions (miles) • Travel cost savings ($) • Net fossil fuel use reductions (GGE) • Community engagement level (low, medium, or high)

Cost-effectiveness is also calculated for GHG emission reductions by dividing the emission reductions by the total amount of STEP funds awarded to the project.

The total share of funds associated with the primary, secondary, and tertiary activities may be less than 100%. Any portion of the funds not associated with the top three activities is automatically accounted for using average employment values across all RIMS II industries.

Step 5b: Review the Estimated Jobs Supported by STEP Funds

Jobs supported are calculated and displayed as the total supported jobs estimated from the project in the Jobs tab. Jobs supported are prorated based on the amount of funds contributed by STEP as a percent of the total project funds.

In Step 5b, review the estimated jobs supported in the Jobs tab. If there are any errors in the inputs, or if all the required inputs are not complete, the output cells in the summary tabs will be blank. Ensure that all of the information from Step 5a (in the Jobs tab) has been entered correctly and to the best of the applicant's ability.

The jobs supported benefit includes: • Total full-time equivalent jobs supported • Full-time equivalent jobs directly supported • Full-time equivalent jobs indirectly supported • Full-time equivalent induced jobs supported

June 1, 2020 Page 16 User Guide for the CARB STEP Pilot

Note: It is not appropriate to directly compare the job estimates from this Job Co- benefit Modeling Tool to the GGRF project dollars. California Climate Investments facilitate greenhouse gas emission reductions and deliver a suite of economic, environmental, and public health co-benefits, including job co-benefits. A different mix of spending on materials equipment, and labor is expected across various California Climate Investments project types and match funding arrangements. As such, some project types will support more jobs than others.

Section C. Example Proposal

Introduction The following is a set of hypothetical projects3 to demonstrate how the STEP Benefits Calculator may be used. This example does not provide examples of the supporting documentation that is required of actual project applicants.

Overview of the proposed projects An organization that represents the community of Alcorcon is working with the county and local transit agency to submit a proposal that will include four quantifiable projects: 1. A new Class IV bikeway 2. An expanded bus-rapid transit service 3. Subsidies for the existing light-rail service 4. A new service

The steps below demonstrate how to determine the GHG emission reductions and other co-benefits of the project.

Step 1a: Select the Strategy and Project Type(s)

Review the Read Me tab and User Guide before beginning and identify all the projects that are proposed to be funded by STEP within a single proposal. Select the most appropriate strategy and project type for each project. The calculator will apply the appropriate quantification method for each project and service type selected.

The hypothetical proposal includes four projects. Each project’s strategy and project type are identified in the table below.
