Item 1B
Staff Report to City Council
FOR THE SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING From: Ron Walker, City Manager
Prepared by: Corey Peterson, PCTPA Senior Transportation Planner Mike Costa, PCTPA Principal Transportation Planner
Subject: Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) Current Regional Planning Efforts – Countywide Active Transportation Plan and Annual Unmet Transit Needs Assessment
Budget Impact Overview:
N/A: X Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):
Countywide Active Transportation Plan
In September 2023, PCTPA was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant in the amount of $424,293 to prepare the Placer Countywide Active Transportation Plan (PATP). Coupled with a $54,972 LTF match from PCTPA, the total expected project cost is $479,265. The PATP is being developed for and in coordination with the Cities of Auburn, Colfax, Lincoln, Rocklin; Town of Loomis, and County of Placer. The City of Roseville is developing their own Active Transportation Plan but will be closely involved in the development of the PATP.
The Cities of Auburn and Rocklin are also preparing their own Active Transportation Plans, however, some analysis tasks from the PATP are still considering these jurisdictions in order to consolidate resources.
Placer County has never had a countywide vision for active transportation. Past active transportation planning efforts have been primarily focused on bicycle routes and generally siloed within city/town boundaries or in the unincorporated area. As such, the PATP seeks to help to craft this countywide vision and set up Placer’s jurisdictions for success in future active transportation funding opportunities. The PATP will identify priority projects countywide and within each jurisdiction that help reduce VMT, improve connectivity within and between jurisdictions, and improve safety for biking, walking, and rolling across Placer County.
PCTPA held a kick-off meeting with its selected consultant, Kittelson & Associates in March and planning work has proceeded in earnest since then. A Plan Development Team consisting of all six cities/town, the County, local bicycle clubs, SACOG, TRPA, and health education advocates formed and has met once thus far.
Kittelson continues to work on existing conditions and the analysis portions of the plan. The biggest major milestone hit thus far was the completion of the first round of community engagement in June. Staff conducted an online survey responded to by nearly 400 residents and held pop-up events in each jurisdiction (except Roseville) and two in the unincorporated areas (Granite Bay and Olympic Valley). In Colfax, PCTPA held a pop-up event at the Colfax Farmer’s Market on May 23, 2024. PCTPA staff will provide a brief presentation on the ATP, its purpose, and some brief initial updates on progress and the results of the community engagement in Colfax.
Annual Unmet Transit Needs Assessment for FY 2025/26
Each year, PCTPA works with the Placer region’s transit operators, social service transportation providers, and other public/private stakeholders to identify any transit needs that are currently not being met by existing public transit services. This process, known as the Unmet Transit Needs (UTN) Assessment, is required by the Transportation Development Act (TDA) because of the specific funding that PCTPA annually administers RECOMMENDED ACTION: Attend the presentation
Item 4A
through the TDA, which can be utilized for street and roadway projects only after PCTPA determines that there are no “unmet transit needs” that are “reasonable to meet” within Placer County (excluding the Tahoe Basin).
PCTPA defines an unmet transit need as a request for public transit service that is not already provided by the existing transit system, specifically in an area that is more than a 0.75-mile walking distance of an existing transit stop or service. A request is also considered an unmet transit need if it is for a service that is needed for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). For a request to be considered reasonable to meet, PCTPA evaluates any new potential transit service implemented to address the unmet transit need based on meeting all the following criteria:
• The new transit service must meet the fare recovery standards established by PCTPA pursuant to the TDA.
• The new service must be paid for by existing transit funding available through the TDA and be a reasonable use of taxpayer funds.
• There must be strong and broad support for the new transit service (not just a request from a few individuals and/or specific stakeholder interest groups). • Implementing the new service must be consistent with both the RTP and short-range transit plan applicable for the jurisdiction where the potential unmet transit need is identified.
If an unmet transit need that is reasonable to meet is identified, then TDA funding must be allocated for that new transit service prior to funding being available for street and road purposes. General operational issues (e.g., improved bus stop amenities, service reliability, modifications to route schedules and/or bus stops along a given route, customer service, etc.) are not considered unmet transit needs. However, any comments pertaining to these issues are provided to the transit operators for their review and consideration to address.
PCTPA will begin the annual Unmet Transit Needs (UTN) Assessment outreach process on September 3, 2024.
This year’s outreach/engagement process will involve the availability of an online survey (available in English, Spanish, and Tagalog), informational e-mails sent to various public and partnering agencies regarding the UTN process and survey availability, and social media posts to solicit stakeholder engagement through the available survey. Additionally, PCTPA staff plans to visit each member jurisdiction during September through October to conduct in-person UTN presentations and/or make information available about the process where members of the public can provide their input regarding transit needs (through the survey).
The UTN Assessment process is anticipated to be completed in February 2025, with a draft report and staff recommendation regarding whether there are any unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet for the Board’s review/determination. Starting September 3rd, public comments regarding unmet transit needs can be provided through PCTPA’s unmet transit needs survey available at https://www.pctpa.net/unmet-transit-needs, via e-mail to [email protected], or by calling Mike Costa at (530) 823-4029. Comments will be accepted from September 3rd through October 31st, 2024.
