RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution: 1) approve the SB1 State of Good Repair Project List; 2) authorize the Director of Transportation and Public Works or designee to request the City of Santa Rosa’s annual allocation of FY 2024-2025 State of Good Repair funding in the estimated amount of $27,383 from the California Department of Transportation; and 3) agree to comply with all conditions and requirements in the Certifications and Assurances document and applicable law for such projects.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The SB1 State of Good Repair (SGR) program provides capital assistance to rehabilitate and modernize California’s existing local transit systems. In FY 2024-2025 the City of Santa Rosa (CityBus) will receive an estimated $27,383 from the SGR program based on an annual formula allocation. These funds will assist CityBus in maintaining the fixed-route fleet of buses, providing efficient and reliable service to the community.
BACKGROUND
The State Transit Assistance (STA) funding from the SGR account authorized under Senate Bill 1 (2017) is funded from a portion of a new Transportation Improvement Fee on vehicle registration.
The SGR program goal is to provide funding for capital assistance to rehabilitate and modernize California’s existing local transit system. Funding is based on the revenue allocation method; that is, the amount of revenue generated by the operator’s transit system relative to other transit operators statewide.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
On May 9, 2023, the City Council, with RES-2023-079, authorized the application for FY 2023-2024 State of Good Repair funds.
