SUBJECT: See Below DATE: April 28, 2025
Approved Date

COUNCIL DISTRICT: Citywide
SUBJECT: L ist of Pavement Maintenance Projects Eligible for Senate Bill 1 Funding
RECOMMENDATION.
Adopt a resolution approving a list of pavement maintenance projects eligible for San José’s 2025-2026 allocation of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funding, which was made available by the approval of Senate Bill 1, otherwise known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
SUMMARY AND OUTCOME
Approval of this list of projects will make an estimated $26,563,486 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) through the Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) funds available to the City of San José (City) for pavement maintenance in the summer and fall of 2026. The funding will be used to preventively maintain or resurface selected streets throughout the City, improving their condition and extending their useful life before more costly treatments or repairs are necessary.
BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed SB 1, which created the RMRA to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local streets and roads systems. SB 1 requires the City to meet specific reporting and accountability requirements established by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). To receive the Fiscal Year 2025- COUNCIL AGENDA: 5/20/25

Subject: List of Pavement Maintenance Projects Eligible for Senate Bill 1 Funding
2026 RMRA funds, the City must submit a City Council-approved list of projects (streets) to the CTC by July 1, 2025.
In February 2025, the Department of Transportation (DOT) released its four-year Pavement Maintenance Plan (2025-2028) to preserve and rehabilitate streets citywide.
DOT coordinated this plan with other City departments, external stakeholders that work on city streets, and City Council Offices. The list of streets in the Attachment is consistent with the four-year Pavement Maintenance Plan, however, it may change if unforeseen circumstances arise or new information regarding other street-related projects becomes available. Per the CTC guidelines, the actual projects completed may differ from the original list submitted.
ANALYSIS
The City is projected to receive approximately $26,563,486 in RMRA funds that will serve as one of the several funding sources making up the estimated $125 million of pavement maintenance funding in Fiscal Year 2025-2026. This total level of funding will allow for maintenance on both the Major Street Network and the Local and Neighborhood Street Network in 2026. Although DOT may utilize RMRA funds on both street networks, DOT is providing the CTC with a list of streets on the Major Street Network in the interest of efficient and simplified reporting.
DOT utilized information provided by the City’s pavement management system to generate a candidate list of streets for pavement maintenance in 2026 using RMRA funds. The candidate list was then thoroughly analyzed by staff using the following criteria to create the list of recommended streets for submission to the CTC.
• Funding availability and funding use restrictions;
• Streets not affected by current or future street related projects; • Maintenance history and prescribed treatment schedules; • Streets associated with planned safety, bikeway, or other “complete streets” projects;
• Community and City Council Office feedback regarding roadway conditions and priority street segments;
• Relative location of street segments to create multiple, continuous segments, consistency within neighborhoods, and project efficiency; and • Multi-year geographic spread across the City and street network.
RMRA funds are being used to support pavement maintenance activities on the Major Street Network. While equity was not specifically considered in the development of the major streets included in the Attachment, DOT cross-referenced the selected streets relative to census tracts designated by the Municipal Transportation Commission as “Equity Priority Communities.” Based on this analysis, DOT will be maintaining a total of

22 miles in Equity Priority Communities, which is roughly 37% of the 60 miles selected for maintenance on the Major Streets Network in 2026. DOT will provide a final comprehensive list of streets highlighting 2026 projects and an updated four-year Pavement Maintenance Plan (2026-2029) in an information memorandum to the City Council in early 2026.
EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
As required by the CTC guidelines, DOT will submit the City Council-approved list of projects (streets) identified for RMRA funding to the CTC no later than July 1, 2025.
DOT will also submit a “Completed and In-Progress Project Expenditure Report” for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to the CTC no later than October 1, 2026. In this report, DOT will describe each project location, funds expended, completion date, and estimated useful life, among other data points. No City Council action is anticipated for this requirement.
DOT provides an ongoing evaluation of the City’s pavement conditions and provides periodic reports on this topic to the Transportation and Environment Committee and the City Council. As stated previously, DOT will provide the City Council with an information memorandum in early 2026 that will include a full list of streets to be maintained in 2026 using all available pavement maintenance funds, along with an updated four-year Pavement Maintenance Plan (2026-2029).
COST SUMMARY/IMPLICATIONS
Estimated apportionments from the RMRA, commensurate with the proposed project cost of $26,563,486, including project delivery and contingency, will be included in the 2025-2026 Proposed Traffic Capital Budget, subject to the appropriation of funds.
Future funding is subject to appropriation by the City Council.
Estimated RMRA revenue and the offsetting appropriation for project funding will be included in the 2025-2026 Proposed Traffic Capital Budget. Funding is subject to appropriation by the City Council.
COORDINATION
This memorandum has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office, the City Manager’s Budget Office, and the Planning, Building and Code Enforcement Department.
