A. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was enacted on April 2017 by the State Legislature to address critical multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls across California.

C. The City must adopt a project list via resolution in order to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include description, location, proposed completion schedule, and the estimated useful life of each proposed project improvement.
D. Streets and Highways Code Section 2031(h)(2) stipulates that 50 percent of RMRA revenues remaining after specific program set-asides funding are appropriated to cities and counties according to the formula established in Section 2103(a)(3)(C)(i) and (ii).
E. The City will receive an estimated $5,920 in RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 from SB 1.
