All
Reco
mmended Actions
1. Hold a public hearing; and
2. Adopt a resolution approving the Carlsbad TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for fiscal years 2024-25 through 2028-29 for inclusion in the 2025 San Diego Association of Governments Regional Transportation Improvement Program; and
3. Adopt a resolution authorizing the transfer of funds between TransNet projects.
Executive Summary
To use county TransNet1 funds for local transportation projects, cities and other San Diego Association of Governments member agencies must approve their programs of projects every two years. These programs are then incorporated into the regional list of TransNet projects, which include proposed highway, arterial roadway, transit and bikeway projects for the entire county.
In addition to projects using TransNet funds, each agency’s program of projects must also include transportation projects that are regionally significant and increase transportation capacity, regardless of their funding sources.
To obtain the TransNet funding for Carlsbad projects, the City Council is required to hold a public hearing to consider and approve the Carlsbad Program of Projects. The signed resolution in Exhibit 1 approving the Carlsbad program is due to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) by July 1, 2024. The city’s program will then be incorporated into SANDAG’s 2025 regional program and submitted to the state for approval.
Staff recommend approval of the Carlsbad TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for fiscal years, or FY, 2024-25 through 2028-29 for inclusion in the 2025 update of the TransNet Program of Projects.
1 TransNet is a countywide transportation sales tax first approved by county voters in 1987.

Discussion
Background
SANDAG, acting as the Regional Transportation Commission, is required by state and federal laws to develop and adopt an updated regional program every two years. This is a multiyear list of projects submitted by cities and other jurisdictions in the county identifying transportation projects that are eligible to use the sales tax funds generated through TransNet.
In addition to the federal and state requirements, the San Diego Transportation Improvement Program Ordinance and Expenditure Plan2 requires that SANDAG prepare a five-year TransNet Program of Projects, also every two years.
Each member agency of SANDAG that wants to spend TransNet and/or certain federal or state funds must approve its own program of projects every two years. In addition to the projects using those funding sources, the program must include projects that will increase transportation capacity, regardless of their funding sources. The federal Metropolitan Planning and Air Quality Conformity Regulations also require inclusion of all capacity-increasing road projects for air quality emissions modeling and analysis.
The City Council approved the city’s 2023 TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects on June 7, 2022, which covered FY 2022-23 through 2026-27.
This year’s update
As part of the FY 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program development process, staff have identified several transportation projects that need either additional TransNet funding or a change of schedule or scope of TransNet funding allocations. These changes require holding a public hearing and City Council approving a resolution before the projects can be submitted to SANDAG for inclusion in the 2025 regional program.
The SANDAG Board of Directors, acting as the San Diego County Regional Transportation Commission, approves the TransNet Program of Projects as an element of the 2025 regional program update. The 2025 TransNet Program of Projects is scheduled for consideration by the SANDAG board on Sept. 27, 2024.
Carlsbad’s proposed Program of Projects
The proposed Carlsbad Program for FY 2024-25 through 2028-29, which is provided as Exhibit 1, Attachment A, includes projects with the following funding sources:
• Federal funds, administered by the California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans • State funds, administered by Caltrans
• TransNet local street improvement funds, administered by SANDAG • Local funds from the city’s funds, including traffic impact fees and gas tax receipts • Local funds from developers
Federal funds included in the program are from:
2 The TransNet Extension Ordinance, approved by San Diego County voters in 2004, extended the initial San Diego Transportation Improvement Program Ordinance (Proposition A, 1987) for a 40 -year period commencing on April 1, 2008.
June 18, 2024
Item #10 Page 2 of 13
• Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act funds that were repurposed for the El Camino Real widening project from Poinsettia Lane to Camino Vida Roble
• The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Local Transportation Priorities Account and the Highway Infrastructure Program funding for the Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting projects
State funds included in the program are from the Active Transportation Grant Program administered by Caltrans for the Avenida Encinas Coastal Rail Trail and Pedestrian Improvements Project.
TransNet local funds are designated for a variety of projects, including the Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, various roadway improvements, pavement management program, pedestrian improvements and roadway lighting projects.
The city’s program of projects also includes various capacity-increasing roadway projects along regionally significant arterial roadways, regardless of the funding source. Some of these projects are funded by city funds, such as traffic impact fees or funding from adjacent private development.
The program may be amended as needed on a quarterly basis during the two-year period.
These amendments must go through SANDAG’s amendment procedures for approval.
Funding requirements
The TransNet Extension Ordinance places certain requirements on local jurisdictions regarding the use of TransNet funds:
• No more than 30% of cumulative TransNet revenues shall be spent on local street and road maintenance projects.
• All new projects or major reconstruction projects funded by TransNet revenues shall accommodate travel by pedestrians and bicyclists. Any deviation from this requirement shall be clearly noticed as part of that local jurisdiction’s public hearing process. • The required minimum annual level of local discretionary funds to be spent on streets and roads will be met throughout the five-year period consistent with the most recent Maintenance of Effort Requirements adopted by SANDAG.
• Local jurisdictions must collect an amount equivalent to $2,875.06, plus all applicable annual increases, from the private sector for each newly constructed residential housing unit in that jurisdiction, unless exempted under the TransNet Extension Ordinance, and shall contribute these funds to the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program.
• Local jurisdictions must establish a separate transportation improvement account for TransNet revenues with the interest earned spent only for those purposes for which the funds were allocated.
• Each project of $250,000 or more will be clearly designated during construction with TransNet project funding identification signs.

Fiscal Analysis
Overview
Being included in SANDAG’s regional program is not a guarantee that projects will receive the stated funding. The amounts shown in Exhibit 1, Attachment A, are the best available estimates of project costs and anticipated funding. The city is not obligated to proceed with the projects included in the city’s Program of Projects if funding is not available.
Completed projects
Several TransNet-funded City of Carlsbad projects were recently completed, and a few of these projects are carrying a remaining TransNet cash balance. In order to close out the projects, the City Council must approve to either return the funds to SANDAG or transfer the remaining balances to another active city TransNet-funded project. Staff are requesting that the City Council approve the following fund transfers between TransNet-funded city projects:

Next Steps
Upon approval by the City Council, staff will submit the city’s Program of Projects and signed resolution to SANDAG for inclusion in the 2025 regional program by the due date of July 1, 2024. The 2025 regional program is expected to be adopted by the SANDAG board on Sept. 27, 2024, and is anticipated to receive federal approval on Dec. 16, 2024.
Environmental E valuation
The City Planner has determined that this Program of Projects is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, under Guidelines Section 15276(a), which states that CEQA does not apply to the development or adoption of a regional transportation improvement program. However, individual projects developed in accordance with such programs shall remain subject to CEQA.
