STAFF REPORT
DATE: JULY 14, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF VAN DEN EIKHOF, CONTRACT CITY ENGINEER
THROUGH: JOSE ARREOLA, CITY MANAGER
RE: KING CITY VISION ZERO SAFETY ACTION PLAN ADOPTION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the adoption of the King City Vision Zero Safety Action Plan
BACKGROUND:
On June 9, 2026, Doug Bilse, Principal Engineer of the Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC), provided a presentation to the City Council regarding the Draft King City Vision Zero Safety Action Plan. This draft plan was part of ongoing regional efforts to improve roadway safety and reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. TAMC has initiated the development of a Monterey County Regional Vision Zero Action Plan. This effort was funded through a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning grant and was developed in coordination with participating local jurisdictions, including the City of King.
The Regional Vision Zero Action Plan will serve as a comprehensive, data-driven safety planning document that identifies high-risk roadway conditions, establishes safety goals, and outlines strategies and projects to improve safety for all roadway users. The Plan includes a regional framework and jurisdiction-specific components to address local safety needs. TAMC is requesting that each participating jurisdiction adopt a Vision Zero Action Plan.
Future adoption of a Vision Zero Action Plan is required for eligibility under the federal SS4A Grant Program, which may provide funding for implementing roadway safety improvements identified in the Plan. In 2020, the King City Local Roadway Safety Plan was accepted by the City Council.
CITY COUNCIL
KING CITY VISION ZERO SAFETY ACTION PLAN ADOPTION
JULY 14, 2026
PAGE 2 OF 3
DISCUSSION:
During the Draft King City Vision Zero Action Plan presentation by Doug Bilse, the City Council provided comments and directions primarily related to the ebike and e-scooter policies. The revised safety plan attached to the final draft includes recommended changes specific to e-bikes and e-scooters, including revised strategy descriptions and a new systemic project for related signing and striping upgrades. These revisions are primarily listed in Table 1 and Table 3 of the report.
This Vision Zero plan proactively addresses roadway safety and reduces the likelihood of traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. The plan includes a comprehensive evaluation of roadway conditions, including collision history, traffic patterns, and identification of high-injury corridors, to inform targeted safety strategies and improvements. The Plan also previously incorporated public engagement and performance measures to ensure that safety improvements are responsive to community needs and are implemented effectively over time.
Formally adopting the King City Vision Zero Action Plan, if approved, will establish the City’s eligibility for future SS4A implementation grant funding for safety improvements such as traffic calming measures, roadway reconfigurations, and pedestrian and bicycle enhancements. Federal guidelines require jurisdictions to adopt a qualifying safety action plan to compete for these funds.
King City’s Vision Zero Action Plan represents a policy-level commitment to improving traffic safety and working toward the long- term goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Approval of the Plan does not commit the City to specific projects or immediate financial obligations. Additionally, participation in this regional effort further supports coordination with TAMC and neighboring jurisdictions, promotes consistency in safety strategies, and strengthens the City’s competitiveness for future state and federal funding opportunities outside of SS4A.
COST ANALYSIS:
There is no cost to the City associated with developing or adopting the King City Vision Zero Action Plan, as the planning effort is fully funded by an SS4A grant administered by TAMC.
Adoption of the King City Vision Zero Action Plan is a key eligibility requirement for the City to pursue future SS4A implementation funding. Staff have recently been notified of an upcoming call for projects under the SS4A program and are currently evaluating potential projects that meet the grant criteria.
CITY COUNCIL
KING CITY VISION ZERO SAFETY ACTION PLAN ADOPTION
JULY 14, 2026

1 About King City
King City - named after Charles King, a
prominent agricultural investor from
Oakland - was founded in the late 1880s
and officially incorporated in the early 20th
century. Part of the historic San Lorenzo
Rancho, King City is located in the southern
Salinas Valley, with the Salinas River
bordering the city to the west. Home to the
Salinas Valley Fairgrounds and annual
Salinas Valley Fair, King City’s five schools,
numerous parks, and access to nearby
destinations like Pinnacles National Park
add to this vibrant community of 13,000
residents. U.S. Highway 101 provides key
regional connectivity, while Metz Road
(County Road G15) and Bitterwater Road
(County Road G13) serve as important local
routes on the east side of the city.

3 The Importance of Traffic Safety in King City
This plan focuses on traffic safety on
city-owned roadways in King City.
This plan studied city-owned and maintained
roads; state highways that are owned and
operated by Caltrans are not included in
this plan, but are discussed in the Monterey
County Regional Safety Action Plan.
There were a total of 99 crashes reported
within King City city limits from 2019 to 2023.
One of these crashes resulted in a fatality and
an additional 11 crashes resulted in a severe
life-altering injury. Each of these 99 crashes,
including those that did not result in injury or
death, had a significant impact on those
involved, their family and friends, and our
greater community. These crashes happened
all across the City, and each one under a
unique set of circumstances, but
commonalities from the data emerged.
4 What is a Safety Action Plan?
A Safety Action Plan is a roadmap for
prioritizing and investing in the projects,
places, and efforts that are most likely to
reduce the risk of fatal and serious injury
crashes. This plan is part of a larger effort led
by the Transportation Agency of Monterey
County to develop regional and agencyspecific action plans. Development of these plans is funded by a grant awarded by the
U.S. Department of Transportation through
the Safe Streets and Roads for All program.
The Monterey County Regional Safety Action
Plan provides a broad view of the safety
needs across the entire region, and outlines
high priority strategies for addressing
risky behaviors and reducing crash risks
countywide. Individual agency plans, like
this one, provide a more localized look at
the unique safety needs and projects that
are important within each community.

MONTEREY COUNTY REGIONAL VISION ZERO SAFETY ACTION PLAN Figure 2. REGIONAL AND AGENCY-SPECIFIC PLANS
5 OUR SAFETY VISION AND GOAL
TAMC and King City believe that everyone
deserves to travel safely. To achieve this
vision, TAMC has set an ambitious and
achievable goal to reduce fatal and serious
injuries by 30% by 2030 with the ultimate
goal of eliminating fatal and serious injuries by
2040. This Monterey County Regional Vision
Zero target was officially adopted by the
TAMC Board of Directors on March 25, 2026.
WHAT IS VISION ZERO?
Vision Zero is a global strategy to eliminate
traffic deaths and serious injuries in a certain
timeframe by treating them as preventable
events. In the U.S., the Vision Zero strategy
led to the adoption of the Federal Highway
Administration’s (FHWA) Safe System
Approach – a holistic roadway safety guide
that recognizes that humans make mistakes,
that our transportation network should be
designed to prevent fatal mistakes from
happening in the first place, and to minimize
the injury severity when a crash does occur.
WHAT IS A VISION ZERO SAFETY
ACTION PLAN AND WHY NOW?
Every year, approximately 40,000 people lose
their lives traveling on U.S. roadways. From
2019 to 2023 there were 99 total crashes
in King City. Of those crashes, 12 resulted in a
fatality or serious injury, while another 43
resulted in a minor injury.
These are not merely statistics – these
are members of our community, our family,
friends, kids, neighbors, and colleagues.
King City is committed to reducing and
eventually eliminating the most severe
crashes in our city. This commitment takes
shape with effective strategies, policies,
programs, and projects that can be
implemented by the City and partner
agencies to reduce the risk of fatal and
serious injury crashes. This plan, in
coordination with the people and plans
developed for each agency in Monterey
County, will help us achieve our ambitious
regional Vision Zero goal together.
Zero is our goal.
A safe system is how we get there.

WHAT IS THE SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH?
The Safe System Approach is a framework
for effectively managing the diverse inherent
risks within the transportation system. As part
of this approach, multiple layers of protection
are created to prevent crashes and reduce
harm when crashes do occur. It is centered
on the idea that we all have a role to play in
creating a safer transportation system, and
achieving Vision Zero requires that we all do
our part to keep ourselves and others safe.
THERE ARE SIX KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE USDOT SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH:
1. Death and Serious Injuries are Unacceptable
2. Humans Make Mistakes
3. Humans are Vulnerable
4. Responsibility is Shared
5. Safety is Proactive
6. Redundancy is Crucial
Figure 3. USDOT SAFE SYSTEM APPROACH
7 Each of the six key principles in the Safe System Approach are supported by five main objectives:
1 Safer People Consider and address the safety of all road users, including those who walk, bike, drive, take transit, or travel by other modes.
2 Safer Roads Engineer roads to prioritize the safety of all road users, especially vulnerable road users, to minimize human mistakes, and to account for injury tolerance. 3 Safer Travel Options
(Safer Vehicles)
Expand the availability of safer travel options, including multimodal transportation networks, safe and reliable transit options, and advanced vehicle design and technologies. 4 Safer Speeds Promote safer speeds through context-appropriate roadway design, education, outreach, and enforcement.
5 Post-Crash Care
Enhance the survivability of a crash by making it easier and faster to receive emergency medical care and access trauma centers, create a safe working environment for emergency responders, and prevent secondary crashes.
While not yet an element of the USDOT Safe System wheel, the concept of Safer Land Use is gaining attention across the industry, and several states including California, Oregon, and Washington are considering adding it as a sixth element of the Safe System Approach. Land use decisions shape many aspects of the transportation system, including the ability for people to choose safer travel options and make fewer and shorter trips, reducing their exposure to crash risk.
8 SS4A REQUIRED ELEMENTS OF A
SAFETY ACTION PLAN:
Leadership commitment to a “Zero” goal
Involvement of a task force
Data-driven safety analysis
Robust public engagement
Assessment of policies, programs,
and processes
Prioritized projects that reflect
the Safe System Approach
Ongoing transparency and reporting
Developing this Plan
To help local agencies develop plans and implement roadway safety improvements that incorporate the Safe System Approach, a once-in-a-generation federal grant program known as Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) was developed to award demonstration and implementation funds to state and local agencies. The SS4A Grant Program is funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act starting in fiscal year 2022 and ends in fiscal year 2026. With SS4A funds, the TAMC has led the effort to develop regional, municipal, and rural county level action plans to help reduce and eventually eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes in Monterey County.
DATA-DRIVEN ANALYSIS
The cornerstone of this Plan is a data-driven
evaluation of safety needs and effective
solutions. We studied reported crash data, lived
experiences from community members, travel
patterns, and demographics to understand
where and why fatal and serious crashes are
happening. We then paired these findings with
national research, best practices, and local
knowledge to identify feasible, practical, locally
supported ways to save lives. More information
on the analysis and findings can be found in the
Where and Why Are Traffic Crashes Happening
and Plan of Action sections.

9 ENGAGING WITH KING CITY
The project team conducted two rounds of public outreach through workshops, pop-up events, and an online survey and comment map. The first round, held in Summer 2025, focused on understanding the challenges and opportunities related to transportation and safety in King City.
Feedback from the community during this phase was incorporated into the planning process and helped shape potential solutions.
The second round, conducted in Fall 2025,
presented the recommended challenge areas
and solutions back to the community for
input. Community members could review
the recommendations, project ideas, and
share their feedback.
King City had a total of 45 comments received
through in-person comments, survey responses,
and the interactive comment map throughout
both phases of outreach. Figure 5 depicts the
pop-up set up for the King City Phase 2
outreach event.

10 Safety Concerns of King City
Speeding, distracted drivers, impaired drivers,
unsafe passing, pot holes, poor or missing
pavement markers and striping (especially
retroreflective kinds), lack of pedestrian
education, distracted pedestrians, lack of a
multimodal transportation network, and using
taxpayer money for safety improvement
projects. Figure 7 is a word cloud of the most
common words related to roadway safety that
community members in King City said or wrote
down during the outreach process.
Community members expressed support for
safety improvements such as roundabouts
and improved maintenance and implementation
of pavement markings and striping.
During Phase 2 of the outreach, community
members voted on which challenge areas
were most important to making King City
streets safer.
The following challenge areas were identified
by community members in King City as being a
priority to improve safety:
• Aggressive Driving
• Younger Drivers
• Pedestrians
• Intersections
• Commercial Vehicles
TAMC VISION ZERO TASK FORCE
The Monterey County Vision Zero Task Force
was made up of safety partners across the
community, including representatives from
schools, medical and emergency response
professionals, community organizations, public
works, law enforcement, and fire departments.
Three task force groups were created to
capture the diverse area and interests in
Monterey County – the South County,
Peninsula, and Regional task forces. Task
Force membership included a mix of urban,
rural, and regional interests as participants
shared their input and experiences not just
where they work, but also where they live and
travel. This Plan incorporates safety concerns,
feedback, and suggestions for King City that
were gathered from the Peninsula and
Regional Task Force groups.

11 Where and Why are Traffic Crashes Happening?
To understand traffic safety risks and needs, we studied reported crash data for the most recent five years of available data, spanning January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023. Crashes with no reported injuries, also referred to as property damage only crashes, were not included in the analysis.
Crash data reflects information in the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), acquired from the UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). Local police department records may differ from the statewide database.
CRASH TYPES
Understanding the most common types of
collisions that resulted in fatalities and serious
injuries on city streets can help tailor safety
improvements to address those patterns.
CRASHES INVOLVING
VULNERABLE ROAD USERS
Vulnerable road users (VRUs) include both
pedestrians and bicyclists.
Over five years, 99 crashes resulting in an injury

*Contributing factors often overlap and are not mutually exclusive.
PRIMARY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
Across the US, over 90% of crashes are
the result of human error.
There is rarely a single cause of a crash, but
rather a combination of factors related to the
driver, vehicle, environment, or other road
users. The following summarizes trends in
the primary factor reported in crashes of all
severities on King City roads.*

13 Challenge Areas
Challenge areas are not locations. They
represent the underlying crash patterns that
are most contributing to fatal and serious injury
crashes. In an environment of limited funding,
we must focus our resources on the efforts
that will make the biggest difference, and
emphasis areas help us do that. Challenge
areas provide a strategic framework for
developing and implementing safety
strategies, prioritizing capital projects,
guiding enforcement and education.
We applied a data-driven approach to selecting
challenge areas. We started with the list of
16 Challenge Areas outlined in the California
Strategic Highway Safety Plan, and used local
crash patterns and community input to select
the subset that best reflect local needs.
The King City challenge areas are focused on
those that reflect the unique needs of the City,
while the Monterey County Region plan
captures those that are more broadly
applicable across the entire region.

50%
OF FATAL AND SERIOUS
INJURY CRASHES
IN KING CITY (HIGHER THAN
STATEWIDE AVERAGE)
Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable
users of a roadway network, and many
younger and older people travel on foot,
which compounds this vulnerability. Even if
their primary mode of travel is by car, everyone
is a pedestrian at some point during their trip,
whether to get to a bus stop, a parking spot,
or even the mailbox. Crashes involving
pedestrians can occur at intersections, at
mid-block locations, or along streets where
there is not a safe place to walk. Because
pedestrians aren’t protected by a vehicle,
even low-speed crashes can cause serious
injury or death.
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
38%
OF FATAL AND SERIOUS
INJURY CRASHES
IN KING CITY (HIGHER THAN
STATEWIDE AVERAGE)
Aggressive driving includes driving at unsafe
speeds, following too closely, disregarding
traffic signals or signs, and reckless driving.
The behaviors are frequently driven by
impatience, stress, congestion, or a perceived
need to “make up time.”
Addressing aggressive driving requires more
than responding to individual violations, it
requires shaping a roadway environment, paired
with enforcement, education, and a traffic safety
culture that discourages these behaviors.
15 DISTRACTED DRIVING
13%
OF FATAL AND SERIOUS
INJURY CRASHES
IN KING CITY (HIGHER THAN
STATEWIDE AVERAGE)
Distracted driving is one of the most
preventable threats to roadway safety. It occurs
whenever a driver diverts attention from the
primary task of driving—whether to read or send
a text message, adjust in-vehicle technology,
eat, interact with passengers, or focus on
something outside the vehicle. Distractions
generally fall into three categories: visual (taking
eyes off the road), manual (taking hands off the
wheel), and cognitive (taking the mind off
driving). Distracted driving is also one of the
most underreported contributing factors to
crashes, as it is difficult to confirm without a
witness or confession.
When a driver is distracted, reaction time slows,
situational awareness diminishes, and the
ability to detect and respond to hazards is
compromised. In just a brief moment of
inattention, rear-end collisions, lane departures,
or missed traffic signals can occur. These
incidents can lead to crashes with severe
outcomes, particularly for vulnerable road
users such as people walking and bicycling.
16 Plan of Action
Achieving Vision Zero by eliminating traffic
deaths and severe injuries will take real action—
doing nothing is not an option. However, we
also must recognize that King City has limited
resources, and we must focus on the efforts
with the biggest safety benefits, measure
progress, and make informed decisions to
improve safety for everyone.
The recommendations in this Plan are meant
to guide future work, not lock the City into a
fixed set of actions. They provide a starting
point for funding requests and project
design, and they will be updated over time
as conditions change, new funding becomes
available, projects are completed, and more
community input is received. In that way, this
Safety Action Plan is not just a summary of
current conditions—it’s a practical tool to
help King City make steady progress toward
safer roads.
The following sections summarize the
recommended efforts and projects that are
most likely to save lives in King City, as well as
a guide for implementing those projects and
monitoring progress.
EXISTING EFFORTS
Providing a safe transportation system has been
a guiding principle for King City for many years.
In 2022, the City adopted a Local Road Safety
Plan, which allowed the City to pursue grant
funding for safety projects and also set
a strong foundation for this safety action plan.
The City also has an Active Transportation Plan
and a Safe Routes to School Plan, which focus
on improving safety and mobility for those who
walk and bike around the City. Many other
City plans, programs, and efforts highlight the
importance of transportation safety in King City,
including the 2045 General Plan Update,
which includes specific goals related to
roadway safety and mobility.
• Policy 1.1: The City shall identify, within
its annual budget, capital improvements
and operating expenses necessary to
provide safe and adequate streets,
sidewalks, and other transportation
infrastructure.
• Policy 3.6: As traffic patterns shift in
accordance with the land use changes
anticipated by the Land Use Element, the
City shall consider appropriate methods
to regulate traffic speeds or volumes to
assure safety and to protect the quality
of life of residential neighborhoods or
the pedestrian amenity of the downtown.
Such methods may include street trees,
“bulb-outs”, wider sidewalks, tighter
turning radii at the curb corners, street
furniture such as benches, special street
lighting, or other reasonable measures.
• Policy 6.5: The City shall encourage King
City High School District to continue the
use of crossing guards to provide a safe
pedestrian crossing at Broadway and
Canal Streets.
The City continues to implement these policies
and improve the safety of all road users
through construction of road improvements,
regular maintenance activities, studying and
planning for future needs, and pursuing grant
funding for future projects. These are just a
few of the recently completed or currently
underway projects aimed at improving safety
on city roads:
• Broadway Street Multimodal
Safety Improvements
• Division Street Multimodal
Safety Improvements
17 PRIORITIZING INVESTMENTS
Recognizing the reality of the City’s limited resources and inability to complete all recommended projects, investments should be prioritized, based on the following data-driven criteria to maximize the potential safety benefits (listed in order of importance). 1 High Injury Network Focus
Highest priority should be given to projects located on or directly addressing corridors and intersections identified on the High Injury Network. These locations represent a disproportionate share of fatal and serious injury crashes and offer the greatest opportunity for measurable safety benefits. 2 Systemic Safety Opportunity
Projects that can be implemented systemically to benefit a large proportion of the community, such as speed management, signing and striping upgrades, and low-cost intersection enhancements, should be prioritized to proactively reduce risk before crashes occur. 3 Proximity to Schools
and Youth Activity Areas
Projects near K–12 schools, childcare facilities, parks, and other youth-oriented destinations should be prioritized, particularly those that improve walking and bicycling safety. This includes improvements aligned with Safe Routes to School programs and corridors with documented student travel demand. 4 Vulnerable Road Users
Priority should be given to projects that improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, older adults, people with disabilities, and transit users. Locations with a history of pedestrian- or bicycle-involved crashes, or where vulnerable users are exposed to high-speed or high-volume traffic, should rank highly. 5 Disadvantaged
Community Considerations
Projects serving communities disproportionately impacted by traffic injuries, areas of persistent poverty, or communities with limited access to safe transportation options should be elevated. 6 Feasibility and Readiness Project readiness, cost-effectiveness, ease of implementation, and compatibility with planned roadway or capital projects should be considered to maximize near-term safety benefits. 18 SAFE SYSTEM STRATEGIES
When we think of ways to improve safety, many people think only of engineering projects. However, through the Safe System Approach, we know that achieving Vision Zero will require a variety of efforts and investments that are much more broad than a list of capital projects.
THE STRATEGIES ARE INTENDED TO COMPLIMENT AND SUPPORT ENGINEERING PROJECTS IN THREE KEY WAYS:
1. Elevate the importance of traffic safety
within our agency
2. Make it easier to fund or build
safety improvements
3. Encourage safe behaviors and foster a stronger
culture of traffic safety in our community

Across the High Injury Network, there are a
variety of safety needs that can be addressed
through a combination of systemic (proactive)
and hotspot (reactive) projects.
Systemic projects aim to treat one or more
underlying risk factors by installing a low-cost
treatment at several similar locations. An
example of a systemic project would be
upgrading warning signs at multiple
stop-controlled intersections that have
limited sight distance.
Hotspot projects, on the other hand, tend to
include higher cost solutions that improve safety
at a single location where there is a high risk for
crashes and/or where there has been a history
of severe crashes. An example of a hotspot
project would be installing a roundabout at
a stop-controlled intersection with a history
of multiple fatal and severe injury crashes.
The following project tables list the hotspot
and systemic solutions that address the
primary crash patterns associated with fatal
and serious injury crashes on King City roads,
with a focus on roadways that are on the
High Injury Network.

24 RESOURCES AND TOOLS
Our understanding of safety strategies,
their effectiveness, and best practices for
implementation are continually evolving.
The following state and federal resources
may be useful when identifying safety
strategies for a specific location, underlying
risk, or crash pattern:
• FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures
• FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures
in Rural Communities
• NHTSA Countermeasures that Work
• USDOT National Roadway Safety Strategy
• Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual
• Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy
We recognize that much of this plan is based
on a snapshot of reported crashes, and that
new high-crash locations and crash patterns
may emerge in the coming years. The
Monterey County Regional Safety Action Plan
includes several tools and resources that
can be used to diagnose safety risks and
find effective solutions.
Safe System Toolbox: A comprehensive
list of safety countermeasures,
expected safety benefits, and
considerations for implementation.
Case Studies: 24 example case studies
of locations throughout Monterey
County that highlight common crash
trends, site characteristics, and
potential countermeasures.
25 FUNDING SOURCES
Implementing this Plan will require assembling
funding from multiple levels – federal, state,
regional, and local, based on project type
(capital vs. programmatic), sponsor eligibility
(TAMC vs. local jurisdictions), and readiness
(quick-build vs. construction). The 2026 TAMC
Regional Transportation Improvement Program
(RTIP) confirms that Monterey County projects
already draw from a broad mix of sources,
including federal formula programs state
programs, and local funds.
Federal Funding Sources
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) – USDOT
SS4A is the primary federal funding source
for Vision Zero and Safe System efforts. It
provides about $1B/year (2022–2026) for
local agencies to complete safety planning
and deliver safety projects. Grant types
include Planning (about $100K–$1M) and
Implementation (about $1M–$20M, requires
an adopted safety action plan). A 20% local
match is required and may include in-kind
contributions. SS4A is well suited for systemic
safety improvements, Safe Routes to School,
and education/enforcement programs.
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
HSIP funds infrastructure projects with proven
crash reduction benefits, including signals,
striping/signing, crosswalks, beacons, rumble
strips, guardrails, and other countermeasures.
Projects using a systemic approach, targeting
the High Injury Network, and aligning with
Vision Zero priorities are typically most
competitive. Cycles occur about every
1–2 years (next anticipated in 2026).
INFRA Competitive Grants – FHWA
INFRA supports large, corridor-scale projects
with strong regional or national benefits.
Projects combining safety with freight, transit,
and multimodal access may be competitive.
IIJA / Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
The IIJA expanded federal transportation
funding, including SS4A and major competitive
programs such as BUILD, which can support
safety, multimodal access, and state-of-goodrepair improvements.
Transportation Alternatives (TA) Set-Aside – FHWA
TA supports smaller-scale pedestrian and
bicycle projects, including Safe Routes to
School, trails, sidewalks, bikeways, crossings,
and traffic calming—especially near schools
and in high pedestrian activity areas.
State of California Funding Sources
Active Transportation Program (ATP)
ATP is California’s primary competitive
program for walking and biking projects
and related planning and safety programs,
including Safe Routes to School and
education/enforcement efforts.
SB 1 (Road Repair and Accountability Act)
SB 1 provides ongoing state funding for
roadway rehabilitation and safety upgrades.
Key categories include local streets/roads
maintenance, bicycle and pedestrian
improvements (often through ATP), and
planning grants.
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
STIP funds major multi-year capital projects
on state and local networks. Projects with
clear safety benefits and regional mobility/
connectivity value may be good candidates.
California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants
OTS provides annual grants for noninfrastructure safety strategies such as education, enforcement, emergency response
support, and safety campaigns, based
on documented crash and safety needs.
26 Programming + Local Funding
RTIP/TIP Programming
The Safety Action Plan should serve as a
project pipeline, helping move projects into
RTIP/TIP programming for construction using
sources such as HSIP, ATP, STIP, and SB 1.
Local Revenues + Development Fees
Local funds are critical for grant match, quickbuild pilots, and near-term improvements.
Development impact fees and mitigation
funding can also support safety upgrades
in growth areas and high-need corridors.
MONITORING PERFORMANCE
A core element of Vision Zero is the
commitment to accountability and
transparency, ensuring that King City’s
progress toward eliminating fatal and serious
injury crashes can be measured, monitored,
and communicated clearly to the public.
Performance measures provide the framework
for tracking that progress over time and
evaluating whether the strategies and
investments outlined in this Plan are producing
meaningful results.
As strategies and projects are implemented,
it is vital to regularly monitor citywide safety
performance to determine the effectiveness
of those efforts, and make adjustments to
future investments and priorities, as needed.
Moving forward, King City will use the
following performance measures to track the
successful implementation of this plan.
Number of fatal and serious injury crashes
on City roadways (total)
Number of fatal and serious injury crashes
by challenge area:
• Involving pedestrians
• Involving aggressive driving
• Involving distracted driving
These performance measures can be tracked
in coordination with TAMC’s planned safety
performance report, which will be prepared
and shared annually. TAMC is in the process of
establishing a regional crash database that will
allow for more timely, accurate, and accessible
local crash data, and will also allow for
improved regional data sharing capabilities.
27 A Call to Action
We all have a shared responsibility to keep ourselves and others safe when we travel. Infrastructure matters, but so do the choices we make every day. Whether you are behind the wheel, on a bike, or walking, each of us plays a role by slowing down, staying alert, and respecting the rules of the road. Together, we can build a culture where getting home safely is the expectation, every time, for everyone.

BACKGROUND:
The City of King experienced a serious financial crisis over the past two decades.
After nearly 20 years, the City has paid off its debt, which was accomplished in 2021. With responsible and accountable fiscal stewardship, the City’s budget has remained balanced for several years and it has now accomplished the goal of establishing a financial reserve (akin to our rainy-day fund). Meanwhile, other major priorities were funded, including reducing gang violence and revitalizing the downtown. The City is focused on protecting this progress to continue addressing our local needs and remain self-reliant.
However, the job is getting harder. Bigger cities get more federal/state money and resources, leaving us without our fair-share, on top of increasingly costly unfunded state mandates. At the same time, an existing, locally controlled one cent general sales tax, Measure K, will expire soon. Unless reauthorized, the City will lose $2.4 Million annually. Reauthorization of the current local funding, with an additional ½ cent increment would ensure the City’s financial stability and maintenance of critical public safety and community services.
To better understand community perspectives and priorities, the City conducted an initial community survey last year, and an additional half-year engagement program known as the “Our King City” initiative. Thank you to the hundreds of residents who participated and shared your feedback! Your input is valuable and was used extensively in the development of this recommendation.
Neighbors and community members identified the following top local priorities:
• Preventing and investigating violent crimes
• Making sure the city stays financially stable
• Requiring public disclosure of all spending
• Maintaining gang prevention services
• Keeping public areas safe and clean

• Increasing the number of good-paying jobs
All funds generated by the proposed “King City Public Safety, Local Services Measure” measure will stay local for general city services, such as those discussed above, in King City and cannot be taken by the state.
Our Fire Department is run by volunteers with a tight budget for firefighting and emergency medical response needs. Additional local funding is needed to maintain 911 emergency fire, medical, and police response, replace old fire equipment and technology, and recruit and retain experienced volunteer firefighters to keep families safe.
Further, our streets and roads are old and deteriorating, which damages cars and is potentially unsafe. This measure will allow the City to prioritize repairing potholes and cracked sidewalks.
All funds generated by this are subject to strong accountability provisions, including:
• Requiring all funds benefit King City residents only
• Independent audits and public disclosure
• Citizens’ oversight by the Budget Advisory Committee
The survey of over 200 King City voters conducted last year from September 18 to October 13, 2025 showed that 80% of respondents agree that King City needs additional funding to maintain essential services. Additionally, initial support of the local funding measure received 63% support.

DISCUSSION:
King City currently has a sales tax at the rate of 1% that will expire on April 1, 2039. The proposed measure, if approved, would increase the tax rate to 1.5% and extend the duration of the tax until it is ended by voters.
The advantages of the sales tax proposal as a revenue option include the following:
• The City’s local sales tax rate is lower than most other cities, particularly in the Central Coast region. Therefore, the tax rate at 1.5% (one and ½ cent) will still be comparable to most other jurisdictions.
• It would generate revenue to maintain essential public safety and city services.
• Revenues will grow as the City is successful in improving the community and attracting new businesses and jobs.
Staff recommends reauthorization of the existing locally controlled sales tax measure at 1.5% (1.5 cents), which increases the tax rate by 0.5% and extends the duration thereof until it is ended by voters – allowing King City to maintain the general city services residents have told us they prioritize to keep our city safe, clean, and strong to protect our quality of life.
Below are the results of a survey of existing sales tax rates for all cities in Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties:

The attached Resolution would submit the proposed measure with the above ballot question at the General Municipal Election to be consolidated with the Statewide General Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, request the Monterey County Board of Supervisors to consent to such submission and consolidation, approve the related ordinance, setting forth the regulations and procedures relating to arguments, and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis..
In order for this proposed measure to be considered by the voters, the City Council must vote by a 2/3 vote (i.e., 4/5 of the City Council) to adopt the attached Resolution. The deadline to submit the measure (including this Resolution) to the County Elections Office is August 7
th. Since the second
meeting in July is cancelled, this is the last meeting available to approve with the full City Council available.
COST ANALYSIS:
An additional 0.5% (½ cent) sales tax would generate an initial annual amount of $1,200,000 escalated over time. If the voters approve this measure, then the estimated annual revenue from the 1.5% sales tax would be $3,600,000. If the measure is not approved, then the existing 1% sales tax will expire in April of 2029 and would result in a loss of approximately $2,400,000 in annual revenue. It is estimated that educational materials and the increased expense charged by the County Elections Office for the ballot measure will result in an increased cost to the City of $5,000 to $10,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Revenue measures are not considered a project for the purposes of CEQA and have no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect impact to the environment. Therefore, no additional action is necessary.

For purposes of imposing a tax or establishing a duty to collect and remit a tax under this chapter by out-of-state retailers and others, “substantial nexus” shall be construed broadly in favor of the imposition; collection and/or remittance of the transaction and use to the fullest extent permitted by state and federal law, and as it may change from time to time by judicial interpretation or by statutory enactment.
Section 3. Council Authority to Amend. The City Council has the right and authority to amend this Ordinance, to further its purposes and intent (including but not limited to amendment for more efficient administration as determined by the City Council), in any manner that does not increase a tax rate, or otherwise constitute a tax increase for which voter approval is required by Article XIII C of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 9217 of the California Elections Code.
Section 4. Environmental Compliance. The City hereby determines that this Ordinance is not in-and-of-itself a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq., including without limitation California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15378(b)(4) and 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the ordinance itself may have a significant effect on the environment. This Ordinance relates to a transaction and use tax and relates to the creation of City funding mechanisms and City fiscal activities, which does not involve any commitment to any project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
Section 5. Severability. Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such declaration shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
Section 6. Date of Adoption; Effective Date. Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9217, this Ordinance shall be considered adopted on the date that the City Council declares that the voters of the City of King City have approved this Ordinance by a vote of no less than a majority 10 of the votes cast by the electors voting at the General Municipal Election held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and shall go into effect ten (10) days thereafter.
Section 7. Execution. The Mayor shall sign this Ordinance and the City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance if a majority of the voters voting in the City’s general municipal election on November 3, 2026, approve it.
Section 8. Publication. The City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance to be published in the manner required by law.

Item No. 11(A)
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: JULY 14, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSÉ A. ARREOLA, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF SUPPORT FOR PILOT RAIL SERVICE
CONNECTING LOS ANGELES AND THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AREA FOR THE SUMMER 2028 OLYMPICS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to sign a Resolution supporting efforts by the Coast Rail Coordinating Council to provide passenger rail pilot service between Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Franciso Bay Area during the 2028 Olympics Games.
BACKGROUND:
A request from the Mayor to support the Transportation agency for Monterey County(TAMC) coordinating through the Coast Rail Coordinating Council(CRCC) and its central coast transportation planning agency partners advocating for a grant that would fund a passenger rail pilot service providing an additional passenger rail service between the San Francisco Bay Area, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles during the 2028 Olympic Games using state supported passenger rail service connecting Southern and Northern California The proposal is intended to leverage legislative interest in funding for the upcoming Olympic games to secure operating funds for the pilot service, which will complement the CRCC efforts to plan, fund and implement new Statesupported passenger rail service on the Central Coast during the same timeframe. There is no financial cost to the city.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation Authority of Monterey County has been leading the planning, funding, and implementation of passenger rail service extensions to Monterey County. This is being done in coordination with federal, state, and regional

partner agencies in the Central Coast Rail Corridor, which is a regional priority for enhancing mobility and economic benefits for Monterey County communities and visitors. The 2028 Olympics Games will be hosted in Los Angeles, and official venues will be in other large metropolitan areas such as San José and San Diego The games will attract millions of domestic and international tourists that would choose to take rail or air service between southern and northern California.
There is a gap in state-supported passenger rail service between San Luis Obispo and San Jose on the Pacific Coast Route connecting Southern and Northern California with no state-supported trains that connect Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Existing rail infrastructure could support an additional passenger train frequency if train equipment and rail crews can be provided. The Coast Rail Coordinating Council is now identifying the funding need to support planning, capital, and operations of a passenger rail pilot service during the Olympics. A passenger rail pilot service for the 2028 Olympic Games would leverage interest in transportation for this international event and serve to complement implementation of ongoing, regular passenger rail service to Monterey County.
State-supported intercity passenger rail operations, including new passenger rail services now operating between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo, and San Luis Obispo to San Diego on the Pacific Surfliner trains are only funded through June 2027 and should be continued to allow for a pilot Central Coast passenger rail service through the Summer 2028 Olympics.
Staff recommend supporting efforts by the Coast Rail Coordinating Council to provide passenger rail pilot service between Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Franciso Bay Area during the 2028 Olympics Game. Included in these efforts are fully funded Annual Business Plans for the Capitol Corridor and Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo-San Diego (LOSSAN) Corridor intercity passenger rail services to maintain operations funding needed to sustain pre-COVID passenger service levels and allow for planned expansion of State-supported intercity passenger rail service in the Central Coast Rail Corridor.
COST ANALYSIS:
There is no cost impact to the City from this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action is not considered a project for the purposes of CEQA and are exempt under NEPA. No additional action is necessary.
