APPOINTMENT OF TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP – APPOINT INTERSTATES 5/805 TRANSPORTATION STUDY (Elisa Arias) In December 2002, the Transportation Committee appointed a working group to provide input and assistance to SANDAG in the preparation of the I-5/I-805 South Bay Transportation Study.

The Transportation Committee is asked to expand the Technical Working Group to include representation from the expanded study area. + 2. REGIONAL ARTERIAL SYSTEM (RAS) – FUND APPROVE REALLOCATIONS AND SCHEDULE EXTENSIONS (José Nuncio) For projects delayed by 12 months or greater, the RAS Use-It-or-Lose-It Policy requires the Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) to make a mandatory recommendation to the Transportation Committee either to reallocate funds, determine certain projects ineligible to compete in the following funding cycle, or grant a schedule extension. CTAC has reviewed five delayed projects over the past quarter and recommends: (1) reallocating funds from the City of Poway’s Espola Road project ($290,000) and the City of Oceanside’s SR 78/Rancho del Oro Drive Interchange project ($1 million) to the SANDAG RAS Reserve; and (2) approving schedule extensions for the City of Chula Vista’s I-805/ Olympic Parkway Interchange, the City of Escondido’s Bear Valley Parkway/East Valley Parkway, and the City of Solana Beach’s -I5/ Lomas Santa Fe Drive Interchange projects. The Transportation Committee is asked to approve the recommended fund reallocations schedule extensions. + 3. FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES APPROVE (TEA) PROGRAM QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (Sookyung Kim) This report summarizes the progress made on the TEA projects during the period October 1 to December 31, 2002. One TEA-funded project, the Coastal Rail Trail being developed by the Cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Solana Beach, has been delayed. The project has already received the maximum schedule extension allowed by the TEA Use-It-or-Lose-It Policy approved by SANDAG, and the duration of additional project delays is uncertain. The Transportation Committee is asked to approve reallocating the unused TEA funding to portions of the Coastal Rail Trail project in the Cities of Oceanside and Solana Beach, with the remainder to the TEA Reserve. 3 ITEM # RECOMMENDATION + 4.

REPORTS + 8. 2030 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN: HIGH OCCUPANCY INFORMATION VEHICLE/MANAGED LANE STRATEGY (Eric Pahlke) The 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), MOBILITY 2030, includes the development of an extensive system of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)/Managed Lanes in the San Diego region. This systems development strategy is based upon the success of the I-15 FasTrak™ program, the experience of other major metropolitan areas, and an extensive technical analysis of transportation network alternatives. This strategy best addresses the seven goals in the 2030 RTP, including the top goal of Mobility. Staff will provide additional information about projected demand for and usage of the future system, including comparisons of average speeds, travel time savings, and average people moved in the HOV/Managed Lanes compared to general purpose lanes. 4 ITEM # RECOMMENDATION + 9. 2030 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN: PROPOSED RECOMMEND MODIFICATIONS (Richard Chavez/Linda Culp) The 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), MOBILITY 2030, includes three basic funding scenarios: (1) the $30 billion Revenue Constrained plan required by federal regulations; (2) the preferred $42 billion Reasonably Expected Revenue scenario, on which MOBILITY 2030 is based; and (3) a $66 billion Unconstrained Revenue scenario, which identifies the funding needed to fully implement all of the programs, projects, and services envisioned for 2030. Since the October 2002 release of the Draft 2030 RTP, extensive public comments have been received, and staff has worked with Caltrans, MTDB, and NCTD to refine the three scenarios.
