DISCUSSION
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”) known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 which created the RMRA. Unlike standard pieces of legislation – which become effective January 1 in the year following adoption – SB 1 took effect immediately.
Before receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, cities are required to submit to the CTC a list of budgeted projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds.

A.Senate Bill 1 (2017) (“SB 1"), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017, in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide.

C. The City will receive an estimated $2,212,583 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
D.

F. The City uses a Pavement Management Program to help develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects.
