Expand vocational training programs
IP IP
Employment and Training places Richmond residents in vocational training through the State of California’s Employer Training Providers List (ETPL). During the pandemic, there were fewer residents utilizing our training services than ever before. In FY 22- 23, we placed 82 residents in Vocational Training. The vocational training included the following industries, but not limited to:
Transportation, Health, Information Technology, Human Resources and Administration, Finance, and Project Management.
Vocational Training programs’ cost range is $5,000 - $10,000. Richmond residents pay no fees and are eligible to receive supportive services, while in training, ranging from transportation assistance, clothing stipend, and childcare assistance.
The RichmondBUILD program provides construction training through its pre-apprenticeship training program. RichmondBUILD graduated its 50th class in April. In 2022, RichmondBUILD served 48 residents with 34 graduates entering the labor trades. The graduates of RichmondBUILD entered the following Trades: Carpenters L152, Laborers L324, Iron Workers L378, Plumbers & Steamfitters L342, and Heat & Frost L16.
Over the years we have established direct entry with the mentioned Trades, and it has paid dividends and changed the lives of our graduates. We use the Carpenters Training Committee for Northern California curriculum as well as the MC3 curriculum.

This topic was a regional discussion led by WETA Hovercraft Study about 2 years ago to assess the feasibility and terminal locations (presentation attached).

However, now there is significantly more transportation funding opportunities to possibly revisit this study for implementation.

Electric vehicle (EV) transit
A IP
Richmond Moves is the city’s publicly operated (by Via Transit) on demand EV shuttle. It was initially funded with $1M of Clean Mobility Options Voucher Pilot Program funds to operate within a 5.5 sq mile radius of central Richmond. • Transportation was recently awarded $250,000 from the Federal Transit Administration Enhancing Mobility Innovation to comingle the Via software to operation Rtransit services. This will allow more Rtransit clients easier access to local rides that can be scheduled within minutes not days or weeks in advance: https://www.transit.dot.gov/research-innovation/fy21-enhancing-mobility-innovation-projects. Richmond was selected as one of nine projects in six states selected.
• Transportation was recently awarded (ranked 5 out of 28) for competitive funding in the amount of $6,235,000 from California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) to add five zero emission wheel chair accessible shuttles to the Richmond Moves fleet and citywide expansion: 2023 Cycle 6 New TIRCP Award List - 04/24/2023 (ca.gov). Staff is currently working on preparing the funding agreement documents to seek Council approval. • Transportation secured $860,000 in Hybrid and Zero Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) to apply toward the purchase costs to replace city work trucks (remains unused and will expire in 3 months). https://californiahvip.org/ • Transportation just secured an additional $ 90, 000 in Hybrid Truck and Bus Vouchers (HVIP) to apply towards the purchase costs to purchase two (2) new Rtransit zero emission wheelchair accessible vans. In the coming weeks , staff will seek Council approval to accept the funds and approve the vehicle purchase.
• The CCTA has approached Richmond to participate in an electric autonomous vehicle pilot. This is in very preliminary stages of discussion to identify potential routes to deploy a pilot program.
• Transportation has also been approved by a private provider to possibly pilot autonomous shuttle service. This is in very preliminary stages of discussion to identify potential routes and funding to pilot the program.

Increase public access and hours of
operation to City facilities (swim and
recreation centers) and parks
A IP
Staff is currently working to expand hours, including Saturdays, and create more programs so that the Richmond Recreation Complex (highest used facility) can be more available to the community. Staff will assess the ability and interest to open other centers for different hours during the week and on the weekend. In addition, staff is thinking about ways to activate more parks which includes but is not limited to increased lighting and developing and implementing a mobile sports unit to bring activities to parks.
Swim Centers: Our plan is to expand programming at both our aquatic sites. Lifeguard recruitment is slow because a lot of the applicants cannot adequately swim to qualify to become a lifeguard. We are working with Employment and Training to help recruit and offer Lifeguard classes so that we can hire more lifeguards to help with program expansion.
We partner with the Richmond Swim Team to offer programs at the Plunge. This provides an opportunity for our community to partake in their program since we are unable to provide this programming ourselves. We will continue to look for other partnerships so we can continue to expand.
Recreation Community Centers: Our plan is to gradually expand programming hours at each of our sites. Right now, our focus is to expand programming hours at the Richmond Recreation Complex effective July 1st. Currently, we are open for the public to access the Richmond Recreation Complex for programming until 9 pm on specific week nights.

areas

Additional information on which areas need parking permits is needed. • The city has an existing Neighborhood Permit Parking Program: Parking-Permit-Areas-Map-MOD (richmond.ca.us). • Prior to the pandemic, the program is managed by Transportation staff and was enforced by the Police Department.
However, due to other life safety matters, parking enforcement has not been a police priority, with or without full parking enforcement staffing.
• Without consistent enforcement the program was rendered ineffective. The program is on hold until consistent enforcement from the city can be guaranteed. It would be looked upon negatively if the city unnecessarily charged residents for services that were knowingly unsupported.
• RPD manages parking enforcement, although Transportation also has the authority to operate it.
