RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX entitled A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED BY FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
In April 2017, California passed Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 which created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and the local streets systems. The state of California imposes per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel and registration taxes on motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes. The local (city and county) portions of these allocations are calculated based on population and flow through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), the familiar gasoline tax revenues that have been in place for decades, and RMRA.
During the RMRA program application period each year, local agencies are required to adopt a resolution that includes a list of planned eligible projects that will utilize respective fiscal year RMRA funding, and submit the resolution to the California

Transportation Commission (CTC) (Exhibit 1). Each proposed RMRA-funded project must be specifically identified and differentiated from other gas tax funding programs.
For fiscal year 2025-26, the City is estimated to receive RMRA funding in the amount of $8,154,314. The City must submit a proposed fiscal year 25-26 RMRA projects list to the CTC, and as required, provide updates on RMRA funded project progress. The proposed fiscal year 2025-26 projects list must include a project description, specific location, proposed schedule for its completion, and the project’s estimated useful life.
The proposed RMRA funded projects have been incorporated in the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program Budget (Exhibit 2). The proposed projects for fiscal year 2025-26 were identified by the City’s Pavement Management Program as high priority to maintain Santa Ana’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) citywide. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution recognizing the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 RMRA funded project list.
Euclid Street
The City’s proposed fiscal year 2025-26 capital improvement program includes $4.8M RMRA funds for Euclid Street improvements. These RMRA funds were received and Euclid Street listed as a project in prior fiscal year reports to the CTC and is therefore not included in this proposed fiscal year 25-26 list. To supplement local funding for Euclid Street and to deliver a complete corridor project, PWA staff has submitted grant funding applications through the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for the Federal Fiscal Year 2026-27 and Federal Fiscal Year 2027-28 Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality improvement program (CMAQ). Furthermore, PWA staff will be submitting a grant application for the Federal Safe Streets for All program due June 26, 2025 and, if successful, will return to Council for acceptance of awards.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the California Transportation Commission’s Annual Reporting Guidelines for Local Streets and Roads Funding, Staff has identified 11 projects to be funded with anticipated fiscal year 2025-26 RMRA revenues of $8,154,314.
