TITLE: SB 1 ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT – FY 2023/24
PROJECTS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2023-24 to be funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
BACKGROUND:
SB 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. Annually, approximately $800 million will go to cities statewide, allocated on a per capita basis. The revenues for cities will come out of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) where cities are expected to prioritize fixing their existing infrastructure first before having some additional flexibility for those funds for other transportation needs. SB 1 will provide Salinas an estimated $4 Million in RMRA funding in FY 2023-24.
In the current fiscal year, the City’s SB 1 funds are allocated amongst the Citywide Striping and Signing Projects (CIP 9081), Annual Pavement and Sidewalk Maintenance (CIP 9438), Street Preventive Maintenance Program (CIP 9981), and Williams Road Streetscape Project (CIP 9071).
To continue receiving SB 1 funds in the next fiscal year, the City must submit a Council-approved resolution with the City’s road maintenance and rehabilitation project list to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1, 2023. The proposed list (below) reflects the City’s current transportation infrastructure priorities in FY 2023-24.

The City may elect to reprioritize its project list at any time. Formal notification to the CTC of any changes to the list is not required. However, the Project Expenditure Report submitted to the CTC each year in December will provide an opportunity for the City to communicate such changes to the CTC as part of the regular reporting process and transparency.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The staff recommendation supports the Council’s Goal of Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability as it provides funding to the City’s capital projects for improvements to existing facilities and infrastructure.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION
The Public Works and Finance Departments work very closely in tracking SB 1 allocations, budgeting the funds appropriately, and adhering to the reporting requirements of the CTC.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The City is expected to receive approximately $4 Million in Fiscal Year 2023-24, and annually in years thereafter to help fund the City’s transportation infrastructure and safety projects.
