Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto to Adopt a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
R E C I T A L S
A. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
B. SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Palo Alto (City) are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and C. The City must adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1 by resolution, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and D. The City, will receive an estimated $1,930,258 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 from SB 1; and
E. This is the tenth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding which enables the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and F. The City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and G. The funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate various streets throughout the City this year and many similar projects into the future; and H. The 2024 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City’s streets and roads are in “excellent” condition and this revenue will help us maintain the overall quality of our road system and implement complete streets projects over the next decade; and
I. The SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows:
