FROM: John Ristow
SUBJECT: List of Pavement
Maintenance Projects
Eligible for Senate Bill 1
Funding
DATE: April 6, 2026
Approved
Date:
4/15/26
COUNCIL DISTRICT: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a list of pavement maintenance projects eligible for San José’s 2026-2027 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 $28,407,911 in Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) through the Senate Bill 1 funds available to the City for pavement maintenance in the summer and fall of 2027. 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 Senate Bill 1, which created the RMRA to address deferred maintenance on the state highway and local streets and roads systems. Senate Bill 1 requires the City to meet specific reporting and accountability requirements established by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). To receive the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 RMRA funds, the City must submit a City Council- approved list of projects (streets) to the CTC by July 1, 2026.

Subject: List of Pavement Maintenance Projects Eligible for Senate Bill 1 Funding
In October 2025, the Department of Transportation (DOT) released its three-year Pavement Maintenance Plan (2026-2028) 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 Attachment – List of Projects is largely unchanged with minor edits due to construction conflicts and deferrals. Per the CTC guidelines, the actual projects completed may differ from the original list submitted.
ANALYSIS
The City is projected to receive approximately $28 million in RMRA funds that will serve as one of the several funding sources making up the estimated $89 million of pavement maintenance funding in FY 2026-2027. This total level of funding will allow for maintenance on the Major Street Network in 2027.
DOT utilized information provided by the City’s pavement management system to generate a candidate list of streets for pavement maintenance in 2027 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. All major streets, including Vision Zero Priority Safety corridors, under the 2027 pavement program will be evaluated for traffic safety improvements. With unsafe speeds continuing to be the leading contributing factor in traffic fatalities and severe injuries, these roadways will be evaluated for quick-build improvements such as narrowed travel lanes, new or enhanced bike lines, and upgraded crosswalks. These improvements are intended to slow vehicular traffic and create a safer, and more comfortable environment for people walking or biking. DOT will be maintaining approximately eight miles in Equity Priority Communities, which is roughly 16% of the 52 miles selected for maintenance on the Major Streets Network in 2027.

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, 2026.
DOT will also submit a “Completed and In-Progress Project Expenditure Report” for FY 2026-2027 to the CTC no later than October 1, 2027. 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. DOT will provide the City Council an information memorandum in early 2027 that will include a full list of streets to be maintained in 2027 using all available pavement maintenance funds, along with an updated three-year Pavement Maintenance Plan (2027-2029).
FISCAL IMPACTS
Estimated apportionments from the RMRA, commensurate with the proposed project cost of $28,407,911 including project delivery and contingency, will be included in the 2026-2027 Proposed Traffic Capital Budget, subject to the appropriation of funds.
Future funding is subject to appropriation by the City Council.
BUDGET REFERENCE
Estimated RMRA revenue and the offsetting appropriation for project funding will be included in the 2026-2027 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, City Manager’s Budget Office, and the Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement Department.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
This memorandum will be posted on the City Council Agenda website for the April 6, 2026 City Council meeting.
