highways, local streets and roads, and bridges and to improve the state's trade corridors, transit, and active transportation facilities. As codified in the Streets and Highways Code (SHC), RMRA local streets and roads allocations must be used for projects that include, but are not limited to:
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation
• Bridge replacement and rehabilitation
• Safety projects
• Railroad grade separations
• Traffic control devices
• Completion of street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm -water capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project
Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller began depositing this additional funding into the newly created RMRA. Each month a percentage of the RMRA funds are apportioned by formula to the City pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and repairing and replacing aging bridges for critical safety projects in Placentia. This will be the seventh (7th) year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding which is a critical source of funding needed to help the City address its backlog in road maintenance and rehabilitation. Based on the released estimates, the City is estimated to receive a total of $1,280,805 in RMRA funds in FY 2023-24.
As part of SB 1's various accountability and transparency measures and according to the CTC's 2021 Reporting Guidelines for Local Streets and Roads Funding Program, the City is required to adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) establishing the list of projects and submit that list annually to the CTC by July 1 and subsequently provide year-end updates on the progress and expenditures of previously proposed projects by December 1 of each year.
