FISCAL YEAR 2007 TRANSIT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RECOMMEND (Kim York) The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) have developed their Capital Improvement Programs for FY 2007 which forms the basis for the Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 Urbanized Area formula fund grant, the Section 5309 Rail Modernization formula fund grant, and the RTIP amendment for transportation projects. SANDAG is responsible for programming these funds and approving these grants. The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend approval of the proposed funding allocations to the SANDAG Board of Directors. +4. GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND OBJECTIVES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF FY 2007 APPROVE TRANSIT OPERATING BUDGETS ( Tim Watson) Pursuant to SB 1703, the Transportation Committee provides guiding principles and objectives for the transit operators for use in preparing their operating budgets. The Transportation Committee is asked to approve the proposed guiding principles and objectives for use in preparing the FY 2007 transit operating budgets and the projections for FY 2008 through FY 2011. +5. TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT (TDA) CLAIM AMENDMENT APPROVE (Sookyung Kim) At the June 24, 2005 meeting, SANDAG approved the allocations for the FY 2006 Transportation Development Act (TDA) which provide operating and capital support to transit operators and for non-motorized projects. Allocations allow for the agencies to claim these funds for specified purposes. The TDA claims for North County Transit District (NCTD) and Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) included fund transfers to SANDAG for regional planning and for administrative costs as a result of consolidation. This claim amendment revises the transfer amount for MTS based on the recent Board- approved Addendum to the Master Memorandum of Understanding between SANDAG, MTS, and NCTD. There is no net change for NCTD. The Transportation Committee is asked to adopt Resolution No. 2006-11 approving the TDA claim amendments for MTS and SANDAG. 3 +6. TRANSIT REVENUE ESTIMATES AND ALLOCATIONS (Sookyung Kim) RECOMMEND By March 1 of each year, SANDAG provides operating revenue estimates and allocations to the transit operators and to local agencies for the non-motorized program. The Transportation Committee is asked to review and recommend that the SANDAG Board of Directors approve these estimates and allocations at its February 24, 2006, meeting. REPORTS (7 through 10) +7. 2030 REVENUE CONSTRAINED REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN: 2006 RECOMMEND UPDATE (Mike Hix) The public comment period for the Draft 2030 Revenue Constrained Regional Transportation Plan (RTP): 2006 Update and its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) closed on January 27, 2006. This item summarizes the major comments received on the Draft RTP and SEIR as well as responses to the comments. +8. INTERSTATE 5 (I-5) NORTH COAST MANAGED LANES VALUE PRICING RECOMMEND PLANNING STUDY: DRAFT CONCEPT PLAN (Heather Werdick) In November 2003, SANDAG accepted funding to conduct the Interstate 5 (I-5) North Coast Managed Lanes Value Pricing Study as a technical study in preparation for Caltrans’ Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR). This study examines the feasibility of allowing solo drivers to pay a fee to use the I-5 North Coast Managed Lanes similar to the I-15 Managed Lanes. The results of the draft concept plan, including the public outreach efforts will be presented. Staff requests that the Transportation Committee recommend a preferred pricing concept to the SANDAG Board of Directors. +9. COORDINATED TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AGENCY (CTSA) (Dan Levy) RECOMMEND California law requires the creation of a Consolidated Transportation Service Agency (CTSA) in each county to coordinate and consolidate health and human services transportation providers. The San Diego region historically has had two CTSA service providers, one in each transit agency area of jurisdiction. With consolidation, SANDAG became responsible for designating the CTSA for the entire county. There has been recent interest in expanding the functions of the CTSA and reevaluating the effectiveness of its current structure. The Executive Committee, acting as the SourcePoint Board of Directors, recommends that the Transportation Committee endorse the following for consideration by the SANDAG Board of Directors: (1) combining the two existing CTSA service provider areas into one regionwide CTSA through an outside contractor; (2) initiating a competitive process to designate a regionwide CTSA; and (3) expanding the responsibilities of the regionwide CTSA to better meet the spirit and intent of coordination and consolidation of services. 4 +10. COMPREHENSIVE OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS STATUS (Dave Schumacher/ INFORMATION/ Conan Cheung) POSSIBLE ACTION The draft plan for the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) outlines the proposed changes to the MTS system. This report follows the presentation of the draft plan to the MTS Board on February 9, and MTS staff will summarize the comments received and the public hearing schedule leading to final approval of the plan tentatively set for March 2006. 11.
