EXHIBIT A
Description of Work
CITY currently utilizes a traditional two-way radio system that relies on use of the South Mountain radio repeater for communication between dispatch, bus operators and supervisory personnel. Due to the limitations of the current system, CITY’s Operations department has been working to upgrade its radio system to better enable them to respond to emergencies and operational issues. With the implementation of this Project, CITY will procure radio equipment and associated infrastructure to leverage the County of Ventura’s regional radio system.

The Ventura County regional radio system provides a standardized, interoperable platform for digital communication across multiple jurisdictions within the County of Ventura. By participating in this system, CITY will enhance its operational efficiency, improve coordination with other public safety and transit agencies and heighten CITY’s safety protocols and emergency response preparedness.

2 1 Authority and Purpose
TheTransitandIntercityRailCapitalProgram (TIRCP) wascreatedby SenateBill (SB) 862 (Chapter36, Statutesof 2014) andmodifiedby SB9 (Chapter710, Statutesof 2015), to providegrantsfrom the GreenhouseGasReductionFund (GGRF) to fund transformativecapitalimprovementsthat will modernize California’sintercity, commuter, andurbanrail systems, andbusandferry transitsystems, to significantly reduceemissionsof greenhousegases, vehiclemilestraveled, andcongestion. Thelegislationof thesebills iscodifiedin Sections75220through75225of the PublicResourcesCode (PRC). AssemblyBill (AB) 398 Chapter135, Statutesof 2017) extendedthe Cap-and-TradeProgramthat supportsthe TIRCPfrom 2020 through2030. SB1 (Chapter5, Statutesof 2017) continuesto providea historicfundingincreasefor transportationwith fundsdirectedto the TIRCPfrom the PublicTransportationAccount (PTA).

AB102 (Chapter38, Statutesof 2023) andSB125 (Chapter54, Statutesof 2023) amendedthe BudgetActof 2023to appropriate $4,000,000,000of GeneralFundto the TIRCPoverthe nexttwo fiscalyearsaswell as 910,000,000of GGRFfundingand $190,000,000of PTAfundingoverthe nextfour fiscalyearsto establish the Zero-EmissionTransitCapitalProgram (ZETCP). Theseguidelinesarespecificallydevelopedto facilitate the awardof thesefundsto projectsin anexpeditiousmanner.

Theseguidelinesincludeelementsof the policy, standards, criteria, andproceduresfor the development, adoption, evaluationandadministrationof the TIRCPlastupdatedfor Cycle6 (which deliveredits lasttrancheof fundingfor projectawardsin July2023) but areuniqueto this particular cycleof TIRCPfunding. In allowingthe fundscoveredby theseguidelinesto beavailablefor operating costs, the guidelinesarealsorequiredto bealignedwith the legislativeintent describedin subdivision d) of Section75226of, andsubdivision (f) of Section75260, of the PublicResourcesCode. Theywill be further informedby input receivedthroughworkshops, publiccommentsandwritten responsesto be receivedby September14, 2023.

2 Objectives
TheTIRCPwascreatedto fund transformativecapitalimprovementsthat modernizeCalifornia’s intercity rail, bus (includingfeederbusesto intercity rail services, aswell asvanpoolandmicro transit servicesthat areeligibleto report aspublictransit to the FederalTransitAdministration), ferry, andrail transitsystems (collectivelyreferredto astransitservicesor systemsinclusiveof all aforementionedmodesunlessotherwisespecified) to achieveall of the followingpolicy objectives, ascodifiedin Section75220(a) of the PRC:

1. Reduceemissionsof greenhousegases

2. Expandandimprovetransitserviceto increaseridership

3. Integratethe railserviceof the state’svariousrailoperations, includingintegrationwith the high-speedrailsystem

4. Improvetransitsafety
Additionally, Section75221(c) of the PRCcodifiesa programmaticgoalto provideat least25percent of availablefundingto projectsthat providea direct, meaningful, andassuredbenefit to disadvantagedcommunities, consistentwith the objectivesof SB535. AB1550providesfurther requirementsrelatedto ensuringinvestmentsmeet the needsof priority populations, a term used to coverdisadvantagedcommunities, low-incomecommunitiesandlow-incomehouseholds.

Investmentsmadeby TIRCPareexpectedto collectivelymeetor exceedthe requirementsin AB 1550. EachRTPAwill needto provideinformationrelatedto its projectssufficientto determine the natureof priority populationbenefits; however, there isno minimumrequirementthat eachprojector RTPAneedsto meetfor the projectssubmitted.

Takenasa whole, the increasesin transit systemridership, aswell asthe reductionin vehiclemiles traveled, congestionandgreenhousegasemissions, will helpdelivera healthierandsafer transportationsystem. Investmentsareexpectedto positionthe stateto leadin the deploymentof cuttingedgeandzeroemissiontechnologies, test innovativestrategiesandnewapproachesto reducingtransportation-relatedfatalities, provideimportant newcapacityin corridorsthat support growth in jobsandhousing, andto expandmultimodaltransportationaccessandoptionsfor all Californiansacrossall regionsof the state.

Further, asoutlinedin SB125, whichamendedthe BudgetActof 2023, it isthe intent of the Legislatureto:
1) provideone-time multiyearbridgefundingfor transitoperatorsto addressoperationalcosts until long-term transit sustainabilitysolutionsareidentified 2) assisttransitoperatorsin preventingservicecutsandincreasingridership 3) prioritizethe availabilityof transit for riderswho aretransitdependent 4) prioritizetransit agenciesrepresentinga significantpercentageof the region’sridership Tothat end, SB125specifiesthat the moneysappropriatedin the BudgetActof 2023maybeused for high-priority transit capitalprojectswithin the projecteligibilitycategoriesallowedunderTIRCP in Cycle6, andalsofor transitoperatingexpensesfor operatorswithin the RTPAsjurisdiction.

Inorderto beeligiblefor TIRCPcapitalprojectfundingunderthisprogram, acapitalprojectmustdemonstrate that it will achievea reduction in greenhousegas emissionsusing the relevant sectionsof the ZETCP QuantificationMethodology. It mustalsodemonstrateanincreasein ridership.

Ascodifiedin Section75221(a) of the PRC, projectseligiblefor fundingunderthe programinclude, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Railcapitalprojects, includingintercity rail, commuterrail, light rail, andother fixedguideway projects. Additionally, the acquisitionof rail carsandlocomotives, andthe facilitiesto supportthem, that expand, enhance, and/or improveexistingrail systemsandconnectivityto existingandfuture transitsystems, includingthe high-speedrail system.

2. Intercity, commuter, andurbanrail projectsthat increaseservicelevels, improvereliability, or decreasetraveltimes, infrastructureaccesspaymentsto hostrailroadsin lieu of capitalinvestments, efforts to improveexistingrail serviceeffectivenesswith a focuson improvedoperatingagreements, schedules, andminor capitalinvestmentsthat areexpectedto generateincreasedridership, aswell aslargerscaleprojectsdesignedto achievesignificantlylargerbenefits.

3. Rail, bus, andferry integrationimplementation, including:
a. integratedticketingandschedulingsystemsandrelatedsoftware/hardwarecapital investments (including, but not limited to, integrationwith busor ferryoperatorsand the useof contactlesspaymentandGeneralTransitFeedSpecification (GTFS) implementationthroughCal-ITP)
b. projectsenablingor enhancingshared-usecorridors (bothmulti-operatorpassengeronly corridorsaswellaspassenger-freight corridors)

d. other multimodalandserviceintegrationinitiatives, includingactivetransportationandother accessinvestmentswhichincreasetransit andrail ridershipandreducegreenhousegas emissions

4. Busrapidtransitandotherbusandferry transitinvestments (includingautonomousfixed guideway, vanpool, andmicrotransitservicesoperatedaspublictransit andfirst-/last-mile solutions), andto increaseridershipandreducegreenhousegasemissions. Thisincludeslarge scaledeploymentof zeroemissionvehiclesandthe technologiesto supportthem, andcapital investmentsasa componentimplementingtransit effectivenessstudiesthat will contributeto restructuredandenhancedservice.

In additionto providingsafetybenefits, theseprojectsoften providecertainroadwaybased (andsometimesrail related) greenhousegasemission reductionsanda smallincreasein ridership (tied to reductionsin train delaysandcancellationstied to incidentsat the crossing, andsometimesspeedincreasesthat occurafter crossingsareimprovedor eliminated). In somecases, ridershipincreasesfrom suchprojectsaremoresignificantif they arenecessary to increasetrain frequency.

Projectsrelatedto mitigatingthe impactson freight rail servicesthat arecausedby growth in passengerrail mayalsobeeligiblefor TIRCPfundingevenif they arenot directlyon the passengerrail corridor.

Projectsthat link housingwith keydestinationsandthat improveaccessibilityto economicopportunities arealsoeligiblefor TIRCPfunding.

However, AllocationPackagesareexpectedto be updatedfor future yearsshouldthere be anychangein fundingavailabilityor projectsselectedfor fundingdistribution. Allocationpackageswill be treatedin accordancewith PublicRecordsActrequirementsandcertaininformation, subjectto those requirements, maybe publiclydisclosed.

EachAllocationPackageshallinclude, asapplicable, the following:

A. A signedcoverletter, with signatureauthorizingandapprovingthe requestby the eligibleRTPA.

Thiscoverletter shouldalsoconfirmthat the RTPAdevelopedthe planin consultationand coordinationwith its transitoperators.

With recentpositiveresultsfrom efforts designedto increasespeedof transit services, allowingsimilarlevelsof servicewith lower operatingcostsor more servicewith the sameoperatingbudget, this sectionof the AllocationPackage would benefit from describinganysuchefforts that areproposedfor the regionand transit operatorsin question. Thiscanincludetransit-specificinfrastructure, stop consolidation, or other efforts. In addition, this descriptionaddressesthe statutory requirementto providea summaryof howthe planwill supportridership improvementstrategiesthat focuson riders, suchascoordinatingschedulesand easeof paymentandimprovingcleanlinessandsafety, to improvethe ridership experience. Sinceincreasingridershipandthe associatedfare revenuesisone approachto strengtheningthe financialperformanceof eachregion’stransit operators, this sectionshallhighlightanyportion of the capitalprojectsor any portion of operatingfundsthat arespecificallyfocusedon supportingimprovement in ridership. Thissectionshouldalsodescribeanyefforts to integratefaresamong transit agenciesin the regionor evenoutsideof the regioncoveredby the RTPA.

Thissectionshallbeanalyzedandreviewedfor completeness.
iii. A detailed breakdownandjustification for how the fundingis proposedto be distributed betweentransit operatorsandamongprojects, consistentwith the legislativeintent describedin SB125. Thissectionshallincludea narrative (and appropriatedataandtables) describingthe justificationfor the fundingdistribution to eachspecificoperatorandproject that isrequested. If requestingspendingfor transit operations, this sectionshalladdressthe followingitemsidentifiedin the legislativeintent languagein SB125:

1. addressoperationalcostsuntil long-term transit sustainabilitysolutionsare identified

2. assisttransitoperatorsin preventingservicecutsandincreasingridership

3. prioritizethe availabilityof transit for riderswho aretransitdependent

4. prioritizetransit agenciesrepresentinga significantpercentageof the region’sridership
If requestingfundingfor both capitalprojectsandtransit operations, the justificationfor the capitalprojectshallincludediscussionof the high-priority nature of the capitalprojectandthe significanceof its completionto the region. In most cases, existingTIRCP-fundedcapitalprojectsthat arealreadysubstantiallyfunded andin needof additionalresourcesfor completionareexpectedto beprioritized overbeginningnewprojects. Thisnarrativesectionshouldaddressthe approachto this issue. Thissectionshallbeanalyzedandreviewedfor completeness.

Themethods (paymentinstruments) of revenuecollection shouldbenotedanddescribedfor all operatorscoveredby the datasubmission requirements, includingreferenceto useof cashfareboxes, transit passesand ticketsavailablefor saleat different locationsandin different media, useof mobile ticketingand/or useof smartcardsor contactlesspayment. Informationon revenue collectioncostsshallalsobe submittedfor thoseoperatorsor regionalagenciesthat areableto identify specificcostsin their operatingor capitalbudgetsassociated with suchrevenuecollectioncosts. Annualcostshouldbe relatedto annualrevenue for eachSTA-eligibletransit operatorthat hasrelevantdatato report. Foroperators that haveno identifiableexpensesandarenot NTDreporters, farerevenuesshall still besubmittedfor the mostrecentfiscalyearin question. Forregionalagencies that haverevenuecollectioncostswithout collectingfarerevenuesdirectly, the revenuecollectioncostsshouldbereportedby paymentinstrument, alongwith an indicationof whichoperatorsareservedby suchrevenuecollectionefforts.

1. Thedatasetshallinclude, for eachtransitoperatoror regional transportationplanningagencyinvolvedin revenuecollection (as applicable):
a. Totalcostof revenuecollectionandtotal revenuecollectedfor the mostrecentfiscalyear
b. Costof revenuecollectionby paymentinstrument (whereavailable, evenif onlyfor certaininstrumentsandnot all) andtotal revenue collectedby thosesamepaymentinstruments, for the mostrecent fiscalyear.

iii. A statementof existingserviceplan andplannedservicechangesthrough the end of 2023-24, andscheduledata in GeneralTransitFeedSpecification (GTFS) format.

Thegoalof this datasubmissionisto provideup to daterepresentationof schedules by transitoperator. Nearlyall transit agenciesof the stateareprovidingtheir datain GTFSformat on a regularbasis, andarerequiredto start doingsoby FTAregulations by 2024. Suchdataisalreadyvisibleto the publicandto stateagenciesasindicated below. Compliancewith thesestatutoryrequirementsmaybemet by eachoperator confirmingthat their currentscheduledataiscorrect (anaccuraterepresentationof the servicethat the customerwill seein operation), andthat future servicechanges will be translatedinto anupdatedGTFSformat on a timely basis. If a servicechange isplannedduringFY23-24, anestimateddatefor submissionof GTFSdatashouldbe indicated.

A brief summaryof the existingserviceplanandchangesto the levelsof service plannedby operator, at a levelthat isrepresentativeof the largerplannedchanges but doesnot needto coverminor changes, shallaccompanythe allocationpackage.

Major frequencychanges, or additionor discontinuanceof routes, shouldbe reflected, but not minor routingor schedulingchanges. In addition, changesin total amountof revenueservicehoursplannedfor this currentfiscalyearshallbe reported, alongwith the timeframefor sucha change.

Technicalassistancein addressingthe requiredcontentsof the Initial AllocationPackageandanyfuture updatesmayberequestedby emailingthe SB125e-mailaddressat [email protected].

Assistancemaybeprovidedby CalSTA, Caltransor CARB, dependingon the natureof the specific question.

Applicantsareremindedthat while initial allocationpackagesaredueby December31, 2023, they may submitupdatesto suchpackageson a rollingbasisthat CalSTAanticipatesreviewingon a 30- to 60-day timelinefor approvalof additionalallocationsof funding, up to the limit availablefor the RTPAat the relevantpoint in the program.

RTPAsarealsorequiredto makepubliclyavailable (i.e., postedonline) a summaryof monthly ridership data, consistentwith the datasubmittedto the FTA’sNTD, from all its transit operatorsandshouldcover the time periodstartingon July1, 2022, throughat leastJune30, 2028. Themonthlyreportsshould includeridershipdatafor eachmodeof publictransportationservicethat the agencyoperates. This informationwill providethe publicwith monthlytrendsin ridershipandservicesuppliedthroughoutthe year, andalsoallow for a comparisonof ridershiprecoverycomparedto this sametime lastyear.

Caltranswill provideall RTPAswith a summaryreport eachmonth that meetsthe requirementsof this statutoryprovision, drawnfrom the datareportedto the NationalTransitDatabase. Thedatawill be drawnfrom the NTDat: CompleteMonthly Ridership (with adjustmentsandestimates) | FTA (dot.gov).

RTPAsarerequiredto posta link to this report anddatain a mannereasilyaccessedby the public, sothat ridershiptrendswithin their regioncanbeeasilyreviewed, in orderto receiveapprovalfor their allocationpackages. ForRTPAswith transitoperatorswho do not report monthlydatato the NTD, Caltranswill includethe mostrecentannualridershipnumbersprovidedto the NTD.

Onceanagency’sInitial AllocationPackageisreceived, alongwith verificationthat monthlyridershipdata asrequiredby statuteisavailableon eachregionalagency’swebsite, CalSTAwill reviewandanalyzethe submitteddocumentsfor completenessandfor projecteligibilitywith a commitmentto facilitatethese fundsto projectsin anexpeditiousmannerandnot infringeon the localdecision-makingprocessesthat determinedthe specificprojectsproposedfor funding. If all projectsareeligibleandthe documentationis complete, CalSTAwill notify the RTPAthat its packageisapproved, publishthe informationon its SB125 TransitFormulaProgramsubjectareapage, andauthorizedisbursementof applied-for fundsto the RTPA. If Initial AllocationPackagesareincomplete, RTPAswill bepromptlynotified andallowedto addressareasof incompleteness. If anyprojectsarefoundto beineligible, RTPAswill be providedanopportunityto choose betweenether remedyingthe ineligibleproject (or replacingit with another) prior to havingthe entire packageapproved, or advancingall projectsthat areeligibleandaddressingthe ineligibleprojectin a future UpdatedAllocationPackage. CalSTAwill maintaina ProgramAllocationReportthat will incorporateall approvedprojects (both capitalandoperating) that will beupdatedin anyquarterduringwhichadditional approvalsof Initial AllocationPackagesor UpdatedAllocationPackageshavebeenmade.

Agenciesarenot requiredto fully applyfor all availablefundingat the time of Initial AllocationPackage submission. Unrequestedmonies, or the requestto programinterestearnedon depositedfundsthat have not yet beendisbursedto implementingagencies, maybe requestedin a future UpdatedAllocation Package.

Tothe extentthat recipientsspecifyexistingTIRCPprojectsthat alreadyhavecompetitiveTIRCPfunding awards, CalSTAandCaltranswill work with eachprojectsponsorto updateprojectprogramsupplementsto reflect the useof thesesupplementalresourceson the project underits delegatedauthority from CalSTA.

Thefirst yearof fundingfor TIRCPandthe ZETCPisalreadyavailablefor distributiononcerequired materialsaresubmittedandisexpectedto befully encumberedor expendedandliquidatedby June30, 2028. FY23-24fundsfor TIRCPandthe ZETCPmustbedisbursedto RTPAsby this deadline. Oncereceived by the RTPAthere isno deadlinefor the expenditureof funds. AgenciesmayspendSB125fundsin any order relativeto other state, federalandlocalfunds.

Asa conditionof ongoingdisbursementof requestedSB125funds, the RTPAsmustsubmitto CalSTAan AnnualReportdocumentingthe activitiesandprogressmadetoward implementationof the projectsand operatingexpenditures, whichincludestotal SB125expendituresto dateandtotal amountremaining.

Recordkeepingandreportingrequirementswill applythroughthe life of the projects.

Aspreviouslynoted, recipientsmustdepositfundsinto a dedicatedbankaccountthat will hold onlySB 125funds. If a separateaccountisnot possible, the agencymayshowdocumentsof a line item or subaccountdedicatedto SB125funds. Thesefundsmustalsobespenton eligibleprojectsandwill be accountedfor whenanagencysubmitsits requiredAnnualReport.

A reportingtemplatewill bedistributedprior to the first annualreport beingdueby December31, 2024.

A final deliveryreport for completedcapitalprojectsmayalsoberequired, to providenotificationof the completionof the projectandconfirmationof its placementinto service. Additionalguidancemaybe developedandarticulatedin future updatesto theseguidelines, per the legislativeintent of SB125, and mayincludethe developmentanddistributionof a final deliveryreport templatein the future.

Consistentwith CARB’sFundingGuidelines, localagenciesarerequiredto report on job co-benefits, in additionto all other reportingrequirements, for fundingassociatedwith the ZETCP. Jobco-benefitsrefer to Californiajobssupported, not created, by CaliforniaClimateInvestments. Jobssupportedby California ClimateInvestmentsincludedirect, indirect, andinducedemployment.

At the time of the AllocationPackagesubmissionfor the ZETCP, agenciesarerequiredto submita job co- benefit modelingtool, whichisbasedupona co-benefit assessmentmethodologydevelopedby CARB.

Onceanawardedprojecthasbeenimplemented, fundingrecipientswill alsoberequiredto report actual not modeled) jobsdataviathe semi- annualreportingprocess. Notethat theserequirementsareonlyfor the ZETCPandarenot necessaryfor the SB125TIRCPfunding. Projectsaccessingfundingfrom the ZETCP mayalsobe requiredto submitreportinginformationrelatedto greenhousegasreductionsandpriority populationbenefitsin accordancewith the CARB’sFundingGuidelines (seeAttachment1).

Implementingagenciesshouldnote that additionalProjectOutcomeReportingmayberequiredfor TIRCP or ZETCPcapitalprojects. CaltransmayprovideassistancethroughCal-ITPon scheduling, real-time informationandpaymentsto streamlinereportingrequirements.
