vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes to fund SB 1. On November 1, 2017, the State Controller began depositing funds generated from increased fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees into the newly created RMRA. A portion of RMRA funds is distributed annually to eligible cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and road systems.
RMRA allocations are based on a per capita (population) formula. In FY 2021-22 the funding was estimated to be $230,530. The City’s allocation for FY 2022-23 is estimated to be $264,806 based on State Department of Finance statewide revenue projections.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. SB 1 is a flexible program that allows cities to rollover accrued funding to pay for street rehabilitation and maintenance projects. As outlined in the Road Repair and Accountability Act reporting guidelines, recipients of RMRA funding are held accountable through performance goals that are tracked and reported. To date the City has expended $296,552 on the Spring Street Overlay Project during the development of the preliminary design phase. Staff anticipates spending an additional $148,295 on project administration.
In order to be considered for funding in future fiscal years, agencies must provide a proposed list of projects to the California Transportation Commission by May 1 of each year.
Staff is requesting approval of the SB 1 Project List by adoption of a resolution, which will enable RMRA funds to be utilized for the City’s Pavement Management Program, and/or the Spring Street Overlay Project, and/or Sidewalk Repairs either in its entirety for one project or distributed amongst all projects listed.
