SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Clayton Allowing for Video and Teleconference Meetings as Needed during the COVID-19 State of Emergency Under AB 361
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council allowing for video and teleconference meetings as needed during the COVID-19 state of emergency under AB 361.
BACKGROUND
Last year, the State Legislature passed and Governor Newsom signed AB 361 which continues many of the provisions related to the Brown Act that were in place under Executive Orders, which expired September 30, 2021 that allowed for video and teleconferencing during the state of emergency. Since AB 361 has been signed into law, the City can continue to meet virtually until such time as the Governor declares the State of Emergency due to COVID-19 over and measures to promote social distancing are no longer recommended by the County Health Officer.
On September 20, 2021, February 2, 2022, March 1, 2022, April 15, 2022, June 14, 2022, July 5, 2022, August 9, 2022 and September 6, 2022 (see attachment), the Contra Costa County Health Officer issued recommendations for safely holding public meetings and continues to encourage on-line meetings over in-person public meetings if feasible. If in-person meetings occur, the County Health Officer recommends physical distancing of six feet of separation between all attendees to the extent possible. The proposed resolution provides that the City Council and all subsidiary City boards and commissions may choose to hold fully virtual video and teleconference meetings while the state of emergency is still in effect and physical distancing is recommended.
In order to continue to be able to hold video and teleconference meetings as needed for COVID/public-health related reasons, the City Council will need to review and make Subject: Resolution Allowing for Video and Teleconference Meetings during the COVID-19 State of Emergency Under AB 361
Date: September 20, 2022
findings every thirty days that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person and that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote physical distancing.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Recommendations for safely holding public meetings
Each local government agency is authorized to determine whether to hold public meetings in person, on-line (teleconferencing only), or via a combination of methods. The following are recommendations from the Contra Costa County Health Officer to minimize the risk of COVID 19 transmission during a public meeting.
1. Online meetings (i.e. teleconferencing meetings) are encouraged, where practical, as these meetings present the lowest risk of transmission of SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID 19. This is particularly important when community prevalence rates are high. Our current trends as of September 1, 2022 in Covid-19 case rate, test positivity, Covid-19 hospitalizations, and Covid-19 wastewater surveillance are decreasing or stable, but still remain high at this time. In addition to this, the predominant variant of Covid-19 being identified continues to be the Omicron variant and it’s subvariants the impact of which on the spread of Covid-19 has shown to dramatically increase COVID-19 transmission.
2. If a local agency determines to hold in-person meetings, offering the public the opportunity to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option is recommended, when possible, to give those at higher risk of and/or higher concern about COVID-19 an alternative to participating in person.
3. A written safety protocol should be developed and followed. It is recommended that the protocol require social distancing, where feasible – i.e. six feet of separation between attendees; and consider requiring or strongly encouraging face masking of all attendees and encouraging attendees to be up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccine.
4. Seating arrangements should allow for staff and members of the public to easily maintain at least six-foot distance from one another at all practicable times.
5. Consider holding public meetings outdoors. Increasing scientific consensus is that outdoor airflow reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission compared to indoor spaces. Hosting events outdoors also may make it easier to space staff and members of the public at least 6 feet apart. If unable to host outdoors, consider ways to increase ventilation and flow of the indoor space to reduce the risk of COVID-19 while indoors.
6. Current evidence is unclear as to the added benefit of temperature checks in addition to symptom checks. We encourage focus on symptom checks as they may screen out individuals with other Covid-19 symptoms besides fever and help reinforce the message to not go out in public if you are not feeling well.
7. Consider a voluntary attendance sheet with names and contact information to assist in contact tracing of any cases linked to a public meeting.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: Larry Theis, City Engineer
DATE: September 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution (Traffic Order #1) to restrict U-Turns on Four Oaks Lane during School Drop Off and Pick Up Time Periods
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution (Traffic Order #1) authorizing the U-Turn restrictions on Four Oaks Lane for school drop off and pick up time periods.
BACKGROUND
The Clayton Police Department has been conducting traffic safety enforcement operations around Mt Diablo Elementary School. During their enforcement operations, they have identified a traffic flow issue that causes traffic to back-up during the school congested ingress/egress (drop-off/pick-up) periods.
During the congested ingress/egress (drop-off/pick-up) periods, some of the drivers that turn onto the westbound Four Oaks Lane, from Mt. Zion Drive, stop and make U-Turns to park along the south curb line and walk their children to Mt. Diablo Elementary School. Police officers have observed these U-Turns on Four Oaks Lane are often done without warning and very close to the intersection with Mt. Zion Drive, which causes traffic on Mt. Zion Drive to suddenly stop, thereby causing congestion. Additionally, drivers frequently utilize the private driveways on Four Oaks Lane to make their U-Turns leaving tire marks to the frustration of the property owners. These incidents have resulted in disturbances that have led to a police response. Some residents block their driveways with trash cans and other objects to prevent these actions.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department recommends that additional signage on Four Oaks Lane would address this issue and keep traffic flowing during the congested ingress/egress (drop-off/pickup) periods. The Police Department recommends adding No U-Turn signs along Four Oaks Lane between Mitchell Canyon Road and Mt. Zion Drive. The proposed No U-Turn signs will have the same enforcement hours with the nearby turning restriction signs at Four Oaks Lane and Mitchell Canyon Road. The enforcements hours are during school days as follows:
• Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 7:00 to 8:15 a.m. and 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. • Wednesdays: 12:05 to 12:50 p.m.
The City Engineering Department has evaluated the proposed restrictions and concurs with the Police Department’s recommendations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved by the City Council, direction would be given to public works maintenance staff to procure the signs (estimated six sign locations – see attachment 2). The estimated cost of the panels, posts, and incidental materials is approximately $2,000 with city provided labor for installation.

WHEREAS, the Clayton Police Department determined and recommended that “No U-Turn” restriction signage along Four Oaks Lane between Mitchell Canyon Road and Mt. Zion Drive would alleviate the issues and keeping traffic flowing during the school congested ingress/egress (drop-off/pick-up) periods;
WHEREAS, the “No U-Turn” restriction signage along Four Oaks Lane will have the same enforcement hours with the nearby turning restriction signs at Four Oaks Lane and Mitchell Canyon Road with the following enforcement hours on school days:

Zion Drive with the following enforcement hours on school days:

DATE: September 20, 2022
SUBJECT: APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE THIRD AMENDMENT TO
AN EXISTING AGREEMENT WITH ALLIED WASTE SYSTEMS/REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC. FOR CONTINUED SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLABLE
MATERIALS MANAGEMENT SERVICES
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by Resolution, amend an existing agreement with Allied Waste Systems/Republic Services, Inc. for continued solid waste and recyclable materials management services and to allow adequate time for negotiations for a possible new or extended agreement.
BACKGROUND
Republic Services, Inc. (Republic) and its prior entities (Allied Services and Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal) have been providing solid waste, recycling, and organics services for decades in Clayton. The current Franchise Agreement was extended on August 17, 2011 and is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022. Republic has already implemented additional organics services to ensure the City is in compliance with SB 1383 which requires all accounts to participate in enhanced organics recycling. The company did not request a rate increase when these services were implemented but is now requesting a 15.9% rate increase to cover these enhanced services and inflationary increases. Finally, should the City wish to maintain services with Republic, it is appropriate to develop a new, modern franchise agreement reflecting current best practices which also ensure legislative compliance.
DISCUSSION
On August 29, 2022, the City Council Garbage and Recycling Ad Hoc Subcommittee consisting of Councilmember Diaz and Vice Mayor Tillman met to discuss the upcoming expiration of the City’s franchise agreement with Republic Services and recommended next steps. Because it takes a significant amount of time to evaluate Republic’s rate request and develop a new, agreed upon Franchise Agreement, more time is necessary. The Third Amendment to the Agreement proposes the following:
1. A six-month extension of the current Agreement through June 30, 2023, and Subject: Approve a resolution authorizing the third amendment to an existing agreement with Republic Services, Inc.
Date: September 20, 2022
2. One additional six-month extension if requested by either party and mutually agreed upon by Republic and the City.
All other provisions of the agreement remain in place.
The Ad Hoc Subcommittee reviewed the information presented and supports the recommendation before the City Council to authorize a six-month extension to the existing franchise agreement with Republic Services as well as one additional six-month extension if mutually agreed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no additional costs to the City associated with this amendment. Garbage and recycling fees charged to Clayton customers of Republic Services will follow the existing pattern of previously agreed to rate increases.

declaring
September
as
“Library Card Sign-up Month”
Whereas, libraries and librarians play a crucial role in the education and development of children; and
Whereas, librarians are literacy experts, offering everything from preschool storytime to summer reading programs that sustain school-year learning; and Whereas, libraries provide a learning environment that fosters joyful exploration, encouraging students to research subjects that they are genuinely curious about; and
Whereas, librarians create welcoming and inclusive spaces for people of all backgrounds to learn together and engage with one another; and Whereas, librarians provide a variety of books and resources to serve everyone in the community, making knowledge and ideas available so that people have the freedom to choose what to read; and
Whereas, a library card empowers all people to pursue their dreams, explore new passions and interests, and find their voice; and
Whereas, libraries are constantly transforming to deliver new services that connect closely with community needs, even during a pandemic.
Now, Therefore, I, Peter Cloven, Mayor, and on behalf of the entire Clayton City Council, proclaim September, as “Library Card Sign-up Month” in Clayton, CA and encourage everyone to sign up for their own library card today.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: Larry Theis, P.E., City Engineer
DATE: September 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Proposed Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Services) - Approve the Resolution of Formation, Resolution Calling Election, Resolution Declaring Results of Election, and First Reading of the Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct the public hearing
2. Adopt the Resolution Establishing Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Services) and Designating a Future Annexation Area
3. Adopt the Resolution Calling Special Landowner Election
4. Conduct the Special Landowner Election
5. Adopt the Resolution Declaring the Results of Special Landowner Election
6. Introduce an Ordinance Authorizing the Levying of Special Taxes
BACKGROUND
On February 2, 2021, the City of Clayton (the “City”) City Council (the “Council”) approved Resolution No. 05-2021, A Resolution Approving the Development Plan (DP-01-20); the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (Map-01-2020); and the Tree Removal Permit (TRP-09-2020) for the Diablo Meadows Single Family Residential Project (the “Resolution”). The Resolution also approved the conditions of approval for the Diablo Meadows project (the “Project”), an eighteen (18) single family residential development located west of Mitchell Canyon Road and northwest of Herriman Court.
As a condition of the Project, DeNova Homes (the “Developer”) was conditioned to establish a Homeowner’s Association (“HOA”) for the purpose of funding and maintaining all public and private landscaping and stormwater facilities on or adjacent to the development. In addition, the Developer was conditioned to provide a funding mechanism to offset the Project’s financial impacts on the City’s streetlight system and to fund the stormwater improvements, should the HOA fail to maintain the stormwater improvements at a level that meets City standards.
Subject: Public Hearing on Proposed Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Services) - Approve the Resolution of Formation, Resolution Calling Election, Resolution Declaring Results of Election, and 1st Reading of the Ordinance
Date: September 20, 2022
The Developer requested the City assist with the formation of Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Services) (“CFD No. 2022-01”) to satisfy these conditions. CFD No. 2022-01 will fund authorized services as described in the attached Resolution of Formation, Exhibit “A” (Authorized Services), which generally includes maintenance of City streetlights, maintenance, inspection, and replacement of stormwater facilities, and any costs associated with administering CFD No. 2022-01.
The boundaries of CFD No. 2022-01 include only the Project area, which encompasses Assessor Parcel Numbers 121-090-023 through 046, as shown on the Boundary Map within the Community Facilities District Report. The Boundary Map also identifies a future annexation area, which is contiguous with City limits. The future annexation area facilitates the annexation of future developments within the City into CFD No. 2022-01, with City Council approval and the unanimous approval of the applicable property owner(s), to offset the financial impact for each respective development.
The formation of CFD No. 2022-01 and approval of the future annexation area does not authorize the CFD to levy a special tax within the future annexation area at this time. The landowners or registered voters within such future annexation area will have the opportunity to review the special taxes applicable to their property, and vote to approve the annexation at some time in the future that the City considers annexing such property into the CFD. Upon completion of such annexation, the special tax will only be authorized to be levied within CFD No. 2022-01, and any portion of the future annexation area that has completed annexation procedures to annex into the CFD.
The City received a signed petition from the Developer requesting the establishment of CFD No. 2022-01. The City Council then adopted a Resolution of Intention to Establish CFD No. 2022-01 on August 16, 2022. Following the August 16, 2022 Council Meeting, election materials were sent to the property owner of the project, the City Clerk recorded the Boundary Map, a Community Facilities District Report was filed with the City Clerk, and the City Clerk published a Notice of Public Hearing in the local newspaper at least seven days prior to the hearing date.
Tonight, the City Council is being asked to hold a Public Hearing, adopt the Resolution of Formation of the CFD, adopt the Resolution Calling a Special Landowner Election for the CFD, asking the City Clerk to conduct the election, adopt a Resolution Declaring the Results of the Special Landowner Election, and if the ballot cast is in favor of forming the CFD, then Council is asked to direct the recording of the Notice of Special Tax Lien, and introduce the Ordinance to Levy Special Taxes within the CFD.
Subject: Public Hearing on Proposed Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Services) - Approve the Resolution of Formation, Resolution Calling Election, Resolution Declaring Results of Election, and 1st Reading of the Ordinance
Date: September 20, 2022
Following the completion of the above referenced actions tonight, a summary of the remaining steps to form the CFD are as follows:
September 2022 City Clerk files the Notice of Special Tax Lien with the County Recorder’s Office (must be completed within 15 days of the adoption of the Resolution Confirming Results of Election and directing the recordation of the Notice of Special Tax Lien) October 4, 2022 Second Reading of Ordinance Levying Special Tax within CFD
October 2022 Publication of Ordinance (within 15 days after its passage)
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no financial impact on the City’s General Fund. The Developer for the Project pays all costs associated with the formation of CFD No. 2022-01. The proposed annual maximum special tax rate for CFD No. 2022-01, in Fiscal Year 2022/23 dollars, is $951.71 per home. However, $603.28 of the maximum special tax corresponds to the maintenance of the Project stormwater improvements, and is not anticipated to be levied unless the HOA fails to maintain the improvements to City standards. The eighteen (18) homes within the Project area are the only parcels subject to the special tax upon formation of CFD No. 2022-01. As specified in the Resolution of Formation Exhibit B (Rate and Method of Apportionment), the annual maximum special tax shall be increased annually by applying the greater of the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco-OaklandHayward, CA (All Urban Consumers) for the prior year, or 3%, to the maximum special tax in effect for the prior fiscal year. Each annual adjustment of maximum special tax shall become effective on the subsequent July 1.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council hold the public hearing, conduct the special landowner election, and approve the referenced resolutions and ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Clayton resolves as follows:
1. Issues Submitted. Pursuant to the Act, the following ballot measure shall be submitted to the qualified electors (as defined below) of the CFD at an election called therefor as provided below:
BALLOT MEASURE: Shall the City of Clayton be authorized to annually levy a special tax solely on lands within the City of Clayton Community Facilities District No. 2022-01 (Public Services) in accordance with the rate and method contained in the Resolution of Formation of the CFD adopted by the City Council of the City on September 20, 2022, commencing in the City’s Fiscal Year 2022-23, estimated to raise approximately $17,200 annually, to pay for services authorized to be provided by the CFD and to pay the costs of the City in administering the CFD, and shall the initial annual appropriations limit of the CFD be established in the amount of $2,000,000?

There is on file with the Clerk a written waiver executed by all the qualified electors of the CFD allowing for a shortening of the time for the special election to expedite the process of formation of the CFD and waiving any requirement for notice, analysis, and arguments in connection with the election. Accordingly, this Council finds and determines that the qualified electors have been fully apprised of and have agreed to the shortened time for the election and waiver of analysis and arguments, and have thereby been fully protected in these proceedings.

WHEREAS, on September 20, 2022, a special election was held among the landowner voters within the CFD at which such voters approved such propositions by the two-thirds vote required by the Act, which has been confirmed by resolution of this Council.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF CLAYTON, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Special Tax Authorized. By the passage of this Ordinance, the Council hereby authorizes and levies the Special Tax within the CFD (including any parcel or parcels in the Future Annexation Area that annex into the CFD) pursuant to sections 53328 and 53340 of the Act, at the rate and in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax set forth in the Resolution of Formation which rate and method is by this reference incorporated herein.
Ordinance No. September 20, 2022
The Special Tax is hereby levied commencing in fiscal year 2022-23 and in each fiscal year thereafter to pay for the Services for the CFD, as contemplated by the Resolution of Formation and the Proceedings, and all costs of administering the CFD.
Section 2. Collection Official. Following the approval by the Council of a budget for the CFD for each fiscal year after 2022-23, the Public Works Director/City Engineer or designee, or an employee or consultant of the City (the “Collection Official”), is hereby authorized and directed each fiscal year to determine the specific Special Tax rate and amount to be levied for the next ensuing fiscal year for each parcel of real property within the CFD (including any parcel or parcels in the Future Annexation Area that annex into the CFD), in accordance with such approved budget and in the manner and as provided in the Resolution of Formation. In the event the Council has not adopted a budget for the CFD by July 31 of any year, the budget for that fiscal year shall be the same as the budget for the previous fiscal year.
Section 3. Exemptions. Properties or entities of the state, federal or local governments shall be exempt from any levy of the Special Taxes, to the extent set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment. In no event shall the special taxes be levied on any parcel within the CFD in excess of the maximum Special Tax specified in the Rate and Method of Apportionment.
Section 4. Use of Special Tax. All the collections of the Special Tax shall be used as provided in the Act and in the Resolution of Formation, including, but not limited to, the payment of costs of the Services, the payment of the costs of the City in administering the CFD, and the costs of collecting and administering the Special Tax.
Section 5. Secured by a Lien. The Special Taxes authorized to be levied shall be secured by the lien imposed pursuant to Section 3114.5 and 3115.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code, which lien shall be a continuing lien and shall secure each levy of the Special Taxes. The lien of the Special Tax shall continue in force and effect until the Special Tax obligation is cancelled in accordance with law or until the Special Tax ceases to be levied by the Council.
Section 6. Collection Method. The Special Taxes of the CFD shall be collected as necessary to meet the financial obligations of the CFD on the secured tax roll in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem taxes are collected and shall have the same lien priority, and be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in cases of delinquency as provided for ad valorem taxes; provided, however, that the Council may provide for other appropriate methods of collection by resolution(s) of the Council. In addition, the provisions of Section 53356.1 of the Act shall apply to delinquent Special Tax payments. In each fiscal year commencing in the fiscal year 2022-23, the Collection Official is hereby authorized and directed to provide all necessary information to the auditor/tax collector of the County of Contra Costa and to otherwise take all actions necessary in order to effect proper billing and collection of the Special Tax, so that the Special Tax shall be levied and collected in sufficient amounts and at the times necessary to satisfy the financial obligations of the CFD, and include on the secured property tax roll of the County of Contra Costa for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and for each fiscal year thereafter until no longer required to pay for the Services or until otherwise terminated by the City.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collection Official may collect the Special Taxes by means of direct billing by the City to the property owners within the CFD if, in the judgment of the Collection Official such means of collection will reduce the administrative burden on the City in administering the CFD or is otherwise appropriate in the circumstances. In such event, the Special Taxes shall become delinquent if not paid when due as set forth in any such respective billing to the property owners.
Ordinance No. September 20, 2022
Section 7. Partial Invalidity. If for any reason any portion of this Ordinance is found to be invalid, or if the Special Tax is found inapplicable to any particular parcel within the CFD, by a court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of this ordinance and the application of the Special Tax to the remaining parcels within the CFD shall not be affected.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Approve by Minute Order the Placement of Plaques in Memory of Braden Fahey at The Grove Park and Clayton Community Park
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
Approve by Minute Order the Placement of Plaques in Memory of Braden Fahey at The Grove Park and Clayton Community Park.
BACKGROUND
In 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution 12-2007 (attached), establishing a park naming policy. The policy includes naming not only parks but also certain amenities within parks such as ballfields, scoreboards, gazebo, tot lot, etc. The policy allows for naming of amenities and/or the placement of plaques for a number of reasons, including recognition in memory of a deceased community member.
DISCUSSION
On August 7, 2022, a local Clayton middle school student, Braden Fahey, died following a medical emergency. In the days and weeks following, the Clayton community has come together in a number of ways to honor Braden.
The City has received two requests specifically. The first is for the placement of a memorial plaque on a bench at The Grove Park, where Braden often played and met with friends. It is the City’s policy that such a memorial plaque is allowed, provided that the requesters pay for the plaque, which they have agreed to do. Maintenance of the bench (including the plaque) remains the responsibility of the City.
The second request is from Clayton Valley Little League to name the Baseball Field at Clayton Community Park Field 3 as the “Braden Fahey Memorial Field”. This request is in line with the City Council adopted naming policy, provided that any memorial signage/plaque be paid for by the requester. In this case, Clayton Valley Little League has agreed to pay for the requested signage if the naming is approved.
Subject: Approve by Minute Order the Placement of Plaques in Memory of Braden Fahey at The Grove Park and Clayton Community Park
Date: September 20, 2022
In both cases, the Fahey family is aware of the request and is supportive of it, and grateful for the outpouring of support from the community.
FISCAL IMPACT
Because the costs associated with the memorial plaques will be born by the requesters, there is no direct fiscal impact to the City. Any increases in maintenance would be minimal.

Diablo Elementary School. The study and accompanying community outreach effort was conducted to evaluate multimodal improvements for a critical school travel corridor which would enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety, access to transit, and recreational residential use.
The Pine Hollow Road corridor lacks continuous/standard sidewalks or bike lanes; and faces challenges associated with high traffic speeds, heavy truck traffic, and multiple locations with several collisions in recent years. The corridor experiences elevated truck traffic associated with the presence of the quarries and elevated auto traffic as it is used as a cut-through for traffic bypassing congestion on nearby arterials. The combination of inadequate or disconnected transportation facilities with elevated levels of auto/truck traffic and speeds results in an undesirable environment for pedestrian and bicycle activity. This in turn causes increased reliance on auto access to the schools, resulting in congestion around schools during school start/dismissal periods. The project is needed to enhance safety and connectivity for school children and other residents to allow for an increase in walking and biking in the area and an improved quality of life.
The City of Concord contracted the services of Kimley Horn to perform community outreach effort and prepare the feasibility study. For the past 15 months, Kimley Horn solicited community input and perform a technical transportation analysis to complete the feasibility study. Three rounds of outreach efforts resulted in over 2,000 interactions with the public, including a demonstration pop-up event in front of Pine Hollow Middle School on April 27, 2022 that involved installing some temporary measures for stakeholders to navigate, experience, and provide additional feedback.
DISCUSSION
Adam Dankberg, Project Manager with Kimley Horn will be attending the City Council meeting and presenting a brief slideshow of the results of the feasibility study and preferred alternatives. Mr. Dankberg provided a similar presentation to the Concord City Council on August 23, 2022 regarding the comprehensive project. His presentation and slides provide more information on the community feedback received from Concord and Clayton residents.
The recommended complete street measures shown in Attachment 1 are being presented to the City Council for conceptual concurrence and support for pursuing grant funding opportunities such as Active Transportation Program (ATP) in conjunction with the City of Concord.
Summary proposed conceptual improvements within Clayton:
1. Placing bicycle sharrow pavement markings in westbound and eastbound travel lanes.
2. Constructing raised crosswalk intersections at Mitchell Canyon Road and Mt.
Zion/Tiffin Drives including high visibility striping, improved pedestrian lighting, and bulb-outs/tighter curb radii.
3. Installing approximately 800+ linear feet of five-foot-wide concrete sidewalk along southside of Pine Hollow Road.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project cost (Clayton and Concord) is estimated at approximately $9.8 million for project development, design, and construction costs in the initial grant funding requests. The portion within Clayton is estimated at approximately $600,000. When grant funding is obtained, City Staff will bring a budget adjustment item to the Council for allocation of any required local match funding.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: Larry Theis, City Engineer
DATE: September 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Discussion and Feedback to Clayton’s TRANSPAC Representative Regarding CCTA/TRANSPAC Designation of Marsh Creek Road/Clayton Road as a Route of Regional Significance
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the City Council discuss the mapping and designation of multi-modal Routes of Regional Significance (RRS) in Contra Costa County and provide feedback to the City’s representatives to TRANSPAC (CCTA’s Central County Regional Transportation Planning Committee), currently Mayor Cloven with Councilmember Wolfe as the Alternate.
BACKGROUND
For the past six plus months, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), Contra Costa county’s congestion management and regional transportation agency has been evaluating an update to the existing Routes of Regional Significance (RRS) designations in order to create new maps which incorporate multi-modal RRS including rail, bus transit, bike networks, and vehicular routes such as freeways and major roadway corridors.
The RRS is an integral part of the County’s overall Action Plan that is intended to address key transportation issues in Contra Costa County over the next 25 years. Clayton is considered part of the Central County Regional Transportation Planning Committee (RTPC) which is named TRANSPAC. Mayor Cloven is your appointed Councilmember representative to CCTA and TRANSPAC.
The firm Placeworks was hired by CCTA to lead TRANSPAC in a discussion to evaluate aspects of the existing Central County Action Plan and to update the RRS for multi-modal travel in addition to identifying new corridors for the RRS map. Torina Wilson, from Placeworks has been invited by Clayton staff to present an overview of the Action Plan, the proposed RRS, provide a summary of the outreach, and inform the Clayton Council about the process that has occurred to date. Due to the short notice, presentation slides were not available at the time the Agenda was published and will be provided to the City Council and the public as soon as they are available.
For further detailed information, attached to this staff report are a June 27, 2022 memo (Attachment 1) distributed to the TRANSPAC Technical Advisory Committee (city staff level) and an August 4, 2022 TRANSPAC (appointed elected officials) staff report for informational purposes only.
DISCUSSION
The item of most significance in the update to the CCTA Action Plan is the proposed addition of the Marsh Creek Road Corridor as a Route of Regional Significance. There has been interest expressed by Contra Costa County and support by the East County RTPC (TRANSPLAN) to identify Marsh Creek Road as an RRS. Generally, most of Marsh Creek Road lies in unincorporated County, and therefore Contra Costa County is responsible for its maintenance and safety improvements. By identifying Marsh Creek Road as an RRS, Contra Costa County will have more opportunities to seek and obtain grant funding on the regional/county, state, and federal levels.
TRANSPAC, including Clayton, has raised concerns with this new RRS identification for Marsh Creek Road and have been discussing their comments with CCTA planning staff. A revised draft RRS map was prepared which included Marsh Creek Road as an RRS, however with a specific note that states “The Marsh Creek Road corridor south of the Clayton city limits is only being considered for roadway safety and bike/ped improvements, not capacity improvements, throughout the Action Plan.” This is the latest draft under consideration by TRANSPAC and eventually the entirety of CCTA.
The current schedule is the draft Central County Action Plan (including the RRS designations) will be recommended for approval at the TRANSPAC meeting on October 27, 2022 which would be followed by consideration for approval by the CCTA Board at its November 17, 2022 meeting.
Clayton will also have more opportunities to pursue grant opportunities with the inclusion of the Clayton Road and Marsh Creek Road corridors. The Bus/Transit corridor was also extended past Ygnacio Valley Road to denote existing bus connection to Clayton’s downtown.
These multi-modal designations are intended to provide better regional connectivity to Clayton. The other benefits of adding these corridors as an RRS would be an elevated traffic study review process by TRANSPAC on future large developments that will impact the regional traffic on these RRS.
The side effects or trade-offs that the Council should be aware of and consider is the increased regional pressure to provide improved connectivity, reduced travel times along the corridor, likely increased traffic volumes as the corridor(s) is improved, and the additional regional traffic study review for large developments within Clayton.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct fiscal impact for this item.

SUBJECT Mapping of Routes of Regional Significance
An ongoing component of the Action Plan updatesisrevising the existing Routes of Regional Significance (RRS) to create new maps that show multi-modal RRS in Contra Costa County and the Alameda County portion of the Tri-Valley area.
RRS’s are transportation facilities that meet certain qualifying criteria and were nominated by local staff.
The maps will help CCTA itself, local jurisdictions, and the general public know which roadway, transit, and active transportation facilities are important to the region, and will serve as the basis for monitoring and maintenance by CCTA and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs).
After extensive discussions with RTPC Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) and various community stakeholders, CCTA and the PlaceWorks team have created a series of maps that will show Routes of Regional Significance both as a multimodal network of travel corridors, and for individual modes. These maps are described below.
Overall Corridor Maps
PlaceWorks has created multimodal RRS “Corridor Maps” that show five different transportation modes (bus, rail, bike, freeway, and surface roadway) on a single map. The maps are intended to illustrate the multimodal nature of the transportation network, and to also show that multiple facilities exist in any given generalized transportation corridor.
There are six Corridor Maps included in this memorandum: one countywide and one for each RTPC subregion. These maps show the location, generalized routing, and modes of each corridor. They are not intended to be exact, but rather to show travel corridors of the multimodal transportation network, as dictated by our hilly geography and Bay coastline. There are several critical notes to these Corridor Maps:
The Corridor Maps show desired future conditions, meaning some facilities and routes shown are planned but not yet constructed.
The corridors shown on the maps are highly generalized to show multimodal conditions where they exist or may someday exist, and therefore include multiple facilities and routes within one corridor.
June 27, 2022 | Page 2
The draft Corridor Maps are attached to this memo. CCTA welcomes comment on them at future meetings, via email, or when the Action Plans themselves are published for review and adoption.
Mode Specific Maps
In addition to the Corridor Maps, each Action Plan will also include three mode-specific maps that will be tied to specific Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs). Readers will be able to refer to these maps for a detailed depiction of existing and desired facilities:
Vehicular Routes. One or more maps in each Action Plan will show locations of key freeway and roadway segments and intersections that are to be monitored and maintained as part of the Action Plan process.
Low Stress Bike Network. The Action Plans will contain one or more RTOs to move towards completion of CCTA’s already-designated Low Stress Bike Network (LSBN) described in the 2018 Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Therefore, the Action Plans will include a map showing completed and yet-to-be-completed facilities on the LSBN. Key Existing Transit Facilities. Each Action Plan will include a map showing key transit routes that has been developed in conjunction with the TACs and local transit providers.

Background
The CCTA has initiated the RTPC Action Plan Updates in FY 2021/2022. The Central County Action Plan is intended to address the key transportation issues that Central County will face over the next long-range period (i.e. about twenty five years). The CCTA procured Placeworks consultant team to lead TRANSPAC in a discussion to evaluate aspects of the existing Central County Action Plan.
At the February 24, 2022 TRANSPAC TAC meeting, Placeworks staff solicited feedback on proposed changes to existing Multi-modal Transportation Objectives (MTSOs) for inclusion in updated Action Plans as Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs). A working draft of Action Plan goals and Routes of Regional Significance (including regional transit routes and bicycle and pedestrian facilities) was also provided for committee input.
At the March 31, 2022 TAC meeting, Placeworks staff provided an update on revisions to the Routes of Regional Significance and maps based on prior committee feedback and collected feedback from the TAC on the revised maps.
At the April 28, 2022 TAC meeting, CCTA and Placeworks staff clarified the Route of Regional Significance designation and subsequent impacts. This is related to interest of the TRANSPLAN RTPC to identify Marsh Creek Road as Route of Regional Significance.
At the July 14, 2022 meeting, CCTA and Placeworks staff provided a presentation and facilitated discussion on the proposed Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs) and proposed actions for the Central County Action Plan update.
The CCTA and Placeworks team will present an overview of the Action Plan discussions to date and an overview of the items that are proposed for the updated Action Plan, including a plan outline, goals, routes of regional significance networks, regional transportation objectives (RTOs), actions, and outreach efforts.

SUBJECT Central County Action Plan Working Draft Components Memorandum The Transportation Planning and Cooperation Advisory Committee (TRANSPAC) Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) began updating the Central County Action Plan in the fall of 2021 with assistance from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and technical consultants PlaceWorks, DKS, and Fehr and Peers. This update process precedes the update of the CCTA Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) which will begin later this year. CCTA and the Regional Transportation Planning Committees (RTPCs) are beginning the CTP process with the Action Plan updates which will “roll-up” into the CTP. This bottomsup approach will ensure that the needs and interests of the local jurisdictions, elected representatives, and the public are addressed in detail.
This memorandum lists the various components that will make up the Central County Action Plan and includes working draft content for several of the components. The working draft content has been drafted over the past year with assistance from the TRANSPAC TAC and with general comment from the TRANSPAC Policy Board. The project team has met with these groups several times over the past year to discuss and review the content.
The working draft components of this memorandum include:
Proposed Action Plan definitions
Proposed Action Plan outline
Proposed Action Plan goals
Proposed Corridor and Routes of Regional Significance (RRS) maps Proposed Action Plan Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs) and RTOs considered but not recommended
Proposed Action Plan actions
Public outreach summary
The project team requests that the TRANSPAC Policy Board review the materials within this memorandum which we will discuss at the August 4th Policy Board meeting. Comments at the meeting are welcome and comments via email are encouraged. The project team will ask for comments again when the Draft Central County Action Plan is ready for review in the fall.

Proposed Action Plan Definitions
Goal: A goal is a statement that describes in general terms a condition or quality of service desired that is in line with the policies. For example, a common goal from past Action Plans was to “provide and encourage the use of alternatives to the single-occupant auto.” This goal would be in line with a policy that calls for “an efficient transportation system.” Policy: The policies of an Action Plan help guide its overall direction. Decisions regarding investments, program development, and development approvals are based on these policies. Action: Actions are the specific programs or projects that are recommended for implementation to meet the RTOs set forth in the Action Plan. The responsibility of carrying out the actions may fall to an individual local jurisdiction, to the Regional Committee as a whole, to CCTA, or to another agency such as Caltrans. All actions are either Projects or Programs (defined below) and shall be organized as such in each Action Plan.
Project: Projects are Actions that involve the development, structural modification, or redevelopment of infrastructure, commercial uses, industrial uses, residential uses, or other properties. Projects may include clearing or land grading, improvements to existing structures, construction activities, and other activities requiring public agency issuance of a construction permit.
Program: Programs are Actions that do not involve construction and instead involve education, research, funding or other non-construction activities and are carried out in response to adopted policy to achieve a specific goal or objective.
Route of Regional Significance: Routes of Regional Significance are roadways, transit routes or facilities, and bike or pedestrian routes or facilities that connect two or more subareas of Contra Costa, cross County boundaries, carry significant through traffic, and/or provide access to a regional center, a regional highway or a transit facility. These routes provide vital connections that support economic and recreational activities throughout the County. These are also routes for which the subregion wants to share regional responsibility with neighboring jurisdictions. Regional Transportation Objective (RTO): RTOs are specific, quantifiable objectives that describe a desired level of performance for a component of the transportation system. They were previously referred to as Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives (MTSOs) but have been renamed because they cover more topics than individual modes, and because not all of them refer to service levels. An RTO consists of a Metric and a Standard. Metric: The unit of measurement by which an RTO is measured, such as “Level of Service,” “Delay” or “Vehicle Miles Traveled per Capita.”
Standard: The level or increment of a metric that is required by an RTO. For example, the Standard for Level of Service might be “D,” and the Standard for VMT per Capita might be “20 trips per person per day.”

Proposed Corridor and Routes of Reginal Significance (RRS) Maps
An ongoing component of the Action Plan updates is revising the existing Routes of Regional Significance (RRS) to create new maps that show multi-modal RRS in Contra Costa County and the Alameda County portion of the Tri-Valley area.
RRS’s are transportation facilities that meet certain qualifying criteria (described in detail in the “Proposed Action Plan Definitions” section above) and were nominated by local staff. The maps will help CCTA, local jurisdictions, and the general public know which roadway, transit, and active transportation facilities are important to the region, and will serve as the basis for monitoring and maintenance by CCTA and the RTPCs.
After extensive discussions with RTPC TACs and various community stakeholders, the project team created a series of maps that show RRS’s both as a multimodal network of travel corridors, and for individual modes. These maps are described below.
CORRIDOR MAPS
PlaceWorks has created multimodal RRS “Corridor Maps” that show five different transportation modes (bus, rail, bike, freeway, and surface roadways) on a single map. The maps are intended to illustrate the multimodal nature of the transportation network, and to also show that multiple facilities exist in any given generalized transportation corridor.
There are a total of six Corridor Maps: one countywide and one for each RTPC subregion. The countywide and Central County Corridor Maps are enclosed as Figure 1 and Figure 2 within this memorandum for review.
These maps show the location, generalized routing, and modes of each corridor. They are not intended to be exact, but rather to show travel corridors of the multimodal transportation network, as dictated by the subregion’s geography and Bay coastline. There are several critical notes to these Corridor Maps:
The Corridor Maps show desired future conditions, meaning some facilities and routes shown are planned but not yet constructed.
The corridors shown on the maps are highly generalized to show multimodal conditions where they exist or may someday exist, and therefore include multiple facilities and routes within one corridor.
July 20, 2022 | Page 7
MODE SPECIFIC RRS MAPS
In addition to the Corridor Maps, each Action Plan will include three mode-specific maps that will illustrate mode specific RRS and may be tied to specific Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs).1 Readers of each Action Plan will be able to refer to these maps for a detailed depiction of existing and desired facilities. The draft Central County mode specific RRS maps are shown in Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5. Descriptions of these maps are included below. Key Existing Transit Facilities. Each Action Plan will include a map showing key transit routes that has been developed in conjunction with the TACs and local transit providers. Low Stress Bike Network. The Action Plans will contain one or more RTOs to move towards completion of CCTA’s already-designated Low Stress Bike Network (LSBN) described in the 2018 Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Therefore, the Action Plans will include a map showing completed and yet-to-be-completed facilities on the LSBN. Vehicular Routes. One or more maps in each Action Plan will show locations of key freeway and roadway segments and intersections that are to be monitored and maintained as part of the Action Plan process.
1 Some RTOs will include special maps beyond the mode specific RRS maps, which are shown in Attachment 2 of this memorandum.

Proposed Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs) and RTOs Considered but not Recommended
As described in the “Proposed Action Plan Definitions” section of this memorandum, RTOs are specific, quantifiable objectives that describe a desired level of performance for a component of the transportation system. They were previously referred to as Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives (MTSOs) but have been renamed because the Action Plan RTOs will cover more topics than individual modes, and because not all of them refer to service levels. An RTO consists of a Metric and a Standard which are further defined in the “Proposed Action Plan Definitions” section above.
Historically, each RTPC has had latitude to select a set of MTSOs of its own choosing, and the various Action Plans have had differing MTSOs. In this round of Action Plan preparation, each RTPC continues to have the authority to craft its own RTOs. However, PlaceWorks is working with CCTA and the RTPCs to ensure that the new RTOs are as consistent as possible across the Action Plans to ensure they are largely internally consistent and to ultimately be combined and consolidated into the future CTP. The project team met with the TRANSPAC TAC on February 24, 2022, to discuss a long list of potential RTOs that the project team could consider for modeling and analysis. After this meeting, the project team took TAC feedback and narrowed down the list of RTOs to 29 that we felt were able to be modeled and could result in quantifiable and attainable RTOs. Throughout the process of modeling, 8 of these RTOs did not yield significant enough results, or resulted in modeling issues, and are not recommended for the Action Plans.
The project team moved forward in modeling and analyzing the 21 RTOs that could be adequately modeled and presented those RTOs to the TRANSPAC TAC on July 14, 2022. These 21 preliminary RTOs, and their relevant chapter topics are listed below along with the 8 RTOs that were considered but not recommended to move forward in any Action Plan. Table 1 lists each RTO along with its metric, definition, existing target, and proposed targets. Detailed memos describing each RTO are included as attachments to this memorandum. Attachment 1 provides an RTO Methodology Memorandum, and Attachment 2 includes an RTO Analysis Memorandum. Attachments 1 and 2 were presented to the TRANSPAC TAC on July 14, 2022, and detail the methodology, analysis results, and proposed targets for each RTO listed below.

Proposed Action Plan Actions
The project team worked on a revised list of actions for each subregion to ensure that each Action Plan would include actions appropriate to achieve the RTOs. A list of proposed actions for the Central County Action Plan was presented to the TRANSPAC TAC on July 14, 2022. This list of actions is included in this memorandum as Table 2. The revisions proposed in Table 2 reflect consolidation and/or wordsmithing of existing actions, removing of actions which are now complete, and the introduction of new actions. Proposed new actions come from several sources, including:
Actions recommended by the project team based on best management practices or similar projects, that are necessary to achieving the performance targets established under the RTOs. Actions to address topics requested by TRANSPAC TAC members or through other subregional TAC members that are also applicable to the Central County subregion.
The middle column of Table 1 lists the existing Central County Action Plan text and includes strikethrough and underline edits to show revisions proposed by the project team. Column B includes notes on why the edit has been made while the first column assigns each revised action with an action number that will be used in the Draft Central County Action Plan.

RTO METHODOLOGY MEMORANDUM

MEMORANDUM
DATE July 7, 2022
TO John Hoang and Matt Kelly, CCTA
FROM David Early and Torina Wilson, PlaceWorks
Erin Vaca, DKS Associates
Julie Morgan and Terence Zhao, Fehr & Peers
SUBJECT Regional Transportation Objectives Methodology Memorandum This memorandum outlines the preliminary Regional Transportation Objectives (RTOs) and the methodology behind them that PlaceWorks and its technical consultants (DKS and Fehr & Peers) plan to model in preparation of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) Action Plan Updates.
These RTOs cover all Action Plan and Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) topics and will be used to evaluate success in achieving the goals of each Action Plan. These RTOs could also be carried forward into the CTP to define the outcomes of that plan.
Historically, each Regional Transportation Planning Committee (RTPC) has had latitude to select a set of Multimodal Transportation Service Objectives (MTSOs) of its own choosing, and the various Action Plans have had differing MTSOs. In this round of Action Plan preparation, each RTPC continues to have the authority to craft its own RTOs. However, PlaceWorks is working with CCTA and the RTPCs to ensure that the new RTOs are as consistent as possible across the Action Plans to ensure they are largely internally consistent and to ultimately be combined and consolidated into the future CTP. At this time, PlaceWorks anticipates only minor variations among the RTOs adopted by each RTPC.
The preliminary list of RTOs, and their relevant chapter topics, are:
• Freeway RTOs
o Peak-hour delay index on select freeway segments.
o Buffer index on select freeway segments.
• Surface Roadway RTOs
o Peak-hour Level of Service (LOS) at selected intersections in urban areas. o Peak-hour segment LOS on selected two-lane roadways outside of urban areas. • Transit RTOs
o Mode share of transit trips.
o Ratio of travel time for transit as compared to automobile travel time for select trips. • Bicycle and Pedestrian RTOs
o Mode share of bicycling and walking.
July 7, 2022 | Page 2
o Proportion of the countywide low-stress bike network (LSBN) that has been completed.
o Number of locations where the LSBN makes an unprotected crossing over a heavily traveled vehicle route.
• Safety RTOs
o Number of Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) collisions. o Number of bike- or pedestrian-involved collisions.
o Number of bike- or pedestrian-involved collisions within 500 feet of a school. • Equity RTOs
o Proportion of KSI and bike- or pedestrian-involved collisions that occur in Equity Priority Communities (EPCs), compared to the county as a whole. o Share of county jobs that can be reached by EPC residents within a 30-minute drive, as compared to county residents as a whole.
o Share of county jobs that can be reached by EPC residents within a 45-minute transit trip, as compared to county residents as a whole.
o Proportion of EPC acres that are not within a quarter-mile distance of a transit stop served by high-quality transit.
• Climate Change RTOs
o Single-occupant vehicle mode share.
o Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita.
o Transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per capita. o Zero-emission vehicle ownership in the subregion.
• Technology RTOs
o Level of ethernet-based signal interconnection.
This memo ends with a discussion of several potential RTOs that were explored but are not recommended to move forward. They are:
• Wait time for paratransit
• Speed reduction
• Use of shared (pooled) Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) • Number of shared scooters, shared bicycles, and public autonomous shared vehicles that are deployed
• Pavement condition on the countywide low-stress bike network • Average commute time for low-income residents as compared to county residents as a whole • Miles of Routes of Regional Significance (RRS) estimated to be vulnerable to sea-level rise. • Percentage of vulnerable RRS for which remediation plans or a mitigation approach have been created.
July 7, 2022 | Page 3
The remainder of this memo explains the methodologies that the PlaceWorks team will use to measure each of these RTOs. These same methodologies will be documented in a revision to CCTA’s Technical Procedures and will be available for ongoing assessment of attainment of the RTOs. An explanation of RTOs that were considered and not recommended to move forward are also included.
The modelling work described in this memo will be completed by DKS using the CCTA Countywide Travel Demand Model. This four-step, trip-based model was most recently revalidated to a 2018 base year.
The standard CCTA travel demand model incorporates land use (population and employment) forecasts for 2020, 2030, and 2040 and can interpolate these inputs for interim years. Because the standard model cannot produce scenarios beyond 2040, a special version of the model script will be developed for the Action Plan analyses. In addition to accommodating a year 2050 horizon, the revised version will incorporate enhanced traffic assignment procedures for express lanes.
For the Action Plan updates, land use inputs for the horizon year of 2050 will be developed based on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Plan Bay Area 2050 projections for Contra Costa County. The transportation network assumed the Baseline 2050 scenario will be derived from the CCTA Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) No Build scenario, to reflect only already programmed improvements. In addition to the TEP projects, some additional express lanes will be assumed on Interstate (I-) 680 and the extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) service to Livermore will be removed.
For existing conditions, the project team will use 2018 data to reflect pre-pandemic conditions, as it is not possible to predict how traffic conditions might stabilize as the post-pandemic “new normal” continues to evolve.
Freeways RTOs
PEAK-HOUR DELAY INDEX ON SELECT FREEWAY SEGMENTS
The delay index is a measure of delay experienced by motorists on a roadway segment during a peak commute hour in a single direction. The delay index is calculated by measuring the time it takes to travel a segment of road during average peak-period congested conditions and comparing it to the time it takes to travel the same segment during uncongested, free-flow conditions. A delay index may also be calculated as the ratio of congested speed to uncongested speed, given that the distance is fixed on any given corridor.
All previous CCTA Action Plans used delay index as MTSOs for freeway facilities. Table 1 lists the specific facilities to be evaluated with this metric for the current Action Plan updates; these segments are mapped in Figure 1. The performance targets used in the previous round of Action Plans are provided for reference, although these will be revisited as part of the current planning process.

The delay index (and the related average speed) will be calculated for both the 2019 Base Year and 2050 Baseline scenarios, pivoting from observed data. The source of observed data for this RTO will be speed data from INRIX Roadway Analytics, which was also used in the 2017 MTSO monitoring1 and 2021 Congestion Management Plan (CMP) monitoring.
2 DKS will first calculate observed 2019 speed with
INRIX data using April 2019 as a baseline. DKS will pull one-minute interval data that includes travel time, use a Python program to excerpt defined study areas from Table 1 and Figure 1, and ultimately filter holidays, defined peak hours, defined days of the week, and data points affected by construction and special events, or with low INRIX quality scores. Delay indices will be calculated by estimating the additional congested travel time that is expected to occur on the link using the CCTA Countywide Travel Demand Model during peak hours. Components of this work include:
• Average congested speed for 2019 will be speed data derived from INRIX Roadway Analytics, which was also used in the 2017 MTSO monitoring and 2021 CMP monitoring. • For 2050, DKS will take average congested speed data from the model. • Free-flow speed will be the posted speed limit.
• The delay indices will be calculated by dividing the free flow speed by the observed or modeled average congested speed.
These calculations will yield existing and future delay index ratings for the segments of freeways listed in Table 1. Existing delay index ratings will be compared to adopted MTSO delay index thresholds and the project team will suggest any revisions to the existing delay index thresholds for consideration by the RTPCs.
BUFFER INDEX ON SELECT FREEWAY SEGMENTS
RTPC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) members expressed interest in tracking the reliability of freeway segments. The project team recommends moving forward with the “buffer index” to measure reliability because it will rely on the same data pulled for the delay index RTO. The buffer index represents the extra buffer time (or time cushion) that most travelers add to their average travel time when planning trips to ensure on-time arrival. This extra time is added to account for any unexpected delay. The buffer index is expressed as a percentage and its value increases as reliability gets worse. For example, a buffer index of 40 percent means that, for a 20-minute average travel time, a traveler should budget an additional 8 minutes (20 minutes × 40 percent = 8 minutes) to ensure on-time arrival most of the time. In this example, the 8 extra minutes is called the buffer time. The buffer index is computed as the difference between the 95th percentile travel time over a corridor and average travel time, divided by the average travel time.
