Categorical Exemption (CE) is shown as 'Document Type' under Project Milestones but the actual exempt status is Statutory Exemption (SE).

SE was not listed as an option in the drop-down list.

There is no Right-of-Way phase proposed, as all Right-of-Way is within LA Metro’s, Caltrans, or City jurisdictions existing Right-of-Way and no additional acquisition is required.

While the Project depends on all of the separate contracted components, LA Metro acknowledges the LPP-C funding will be applied to the bus shelters, solar lighting, terminal/layover, and zero emission bus charging infrastructure improvements only. No LPP-C funds are proposed for the transit signal priority component.

PROJECT REPORT EQUIVALENT
Project Title: Southeast Los Angeles Transit Improvements Project Project Location Description (include route, postmiles, rail mile posts, address, intersections, etc.):

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) Southeast Los Angeles Transit Improvements Project (SELA TIP) area stretches across multiple high frequency LA Metro NextGen Tier 1 and 2 bus line corridors throughout southeast Los Angeles County along the I-710 corridor (see Figure 1), a critical goods movement corridor that sustains the state’s and nation’s economies to the detriment of the corridor communities who have long suffered from health and mobility issues caused by growing congestion along and near the freeway. The exact locations of the waiting environment improvements will be determined in coordination with the Southeast Los Angeles cities where the corridors are located, based on bus stop existing conditions and needs.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Southeast Los Angeles Transit Improvements Project (SELA TIP) is comprised of transit improvements along multiple NextGen Tier 1 and 2 high frequency bus lines in key corridors serving Southeast Los Angeles County. These lines provide 10 minute or 15-minute bus service all day weekday throughout the I-710 South communities in southeast Los Angeles County. The I-710 South is a critical goods movement corridor that sustains the State of California and nation’s economies to the detriment of the corridor communities who have long suffered from health and mobility issues caused by growing congestion along and near the freeway. This proposed project will bring immediate and tangible benefits to corridor residents by improving bus service with bus speed and reliability infrastructure and enhanced customer amenities at bus stops on these key corridors.

Major project elements are as follows:
• PPNO LP011A: Expansion of Transit Signal Priority (TSP) to cover 114 intersections • PPNO LP011B: New shelters plus electronic real time arrival solar-powered displays at 100 of the busiest bus stops that currently lack shelters in the project area • PPNO LP011C: Bus stop solar light kits to upgrade 100 other bus stops that do not have shelters to improve lighting
• PPNO LP011D: Bus terminal/layover operational capacity and passenger amenity and improvements at Norwalk, Artesia, and Compton Station mobility hubs • PPNO LP011E: 10 ZEB charging masts to support implementation of ZEB operations on Southeast LA area bus lines serving key terminals.

The corridor improvements will be available for shared use by other transit agencies. This Project makes a large investment in the reduction of GHG emissions through equipping transit terminals with ZEB charging equipment to help allow multiple transit lines to transition to zero emission battery electric bus operation on corridors that connect to the Metro A Line (Blue) and C Line (Green) light rail lines. This investment supports Metro’s comprehensive program for serving clean, safe, and sustainable communities with world-class zero emission service by 2030, supporting those many residents of Southeast Los Angeles who rely on transit for their daily mobility.

The Project is part of Metro’s commitment to creating an equitable, shared I-710 South Corridor transportation system that provides safe, quality multimodal options for moving people that will foster clean air and sustainable communities for all residents, communities, and users in the corridor. It was prioritized for application for LPP-C funds by a task force of corridor residents, public health advocates, community-based organizations, subregional agencies, and elected offices. The Project’s improvements implement several of Metro’s programs and plans for transforming the speed and reliability, customer experience, and zero emission operations of bus service in Los Angeles County.

2. BACKGROUND
The I-710 South Corridor is a 19-mile stretch of the I-710 Freeway, from East Los Angeles in the north to the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in the south (see Figure 2). Connecting the ports with shipping and warehousing facilities in Southern California, this corridor is a goods movement corridor of national significance, as 40% of all waterborne or containerized imports into the United States come through the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, which have become California’s and America’s loading docks. Metro has been studying ways to relieve congestion and improve safety along the I-710 South Corridor for more than two decades.

Today, challenges along the I-710 South Corridor not only remain but continue in many ways to further deteriorate. The Ports are seeing record imports, and many of these products are being trucked out, on the I-710 Freeway, creating even more congestion along and near the freeway, further exacerbating safety issues and worsening air quality for communities throughout the corridor.

Of the 1.2 million people who live along the I-710 South Corridor, nearly 1 million, or 83 percent, identify as Black or Hispanic. These residents face some of the worst air quality anywhere in the country, as the corridor accounts for 20% of all particulate emissions in Southern California. The I-710 South is known as the “diesel death zone” owing to very high levels of diesel pollutants within a quarter mile either side of the freeway. These high levels of pollutants have been linked to health challenges including decreased lung function, asthma, increased lung and heart disease symptoms, and chronic bronchitis in communities along the corridor, which also face longstanding disparities in health and access to healthcare. In addition, these communities are identified as disadvantaged and low-income under the state’s definitions and as Metro-defined Equity Focus Communities (EFCs) which are communities in Los Angeles County with the highest concentration of low-income households; Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) residents; and households with no access to a car.

Beginning in mid-2021, Metro staff initiated a new process to reimagine the corridor, convening a Task Force comprised of stakeholders representing labor, the ports, local elected leadership, goods movement industry, and community-based organizations to ensure community-centered mobility options are developed for all who live, work, and visit the area. The Task Force includes a Community Leadership Committee (CLC) to help inform future project direction and decision making and an Equity Working Group (EWG), which includes Task Force and CLC members, that meets regularly to ensure that all aspects of the Task Force’s work and recommendations consider historical and current inequities and discuss solutions and decisions to maximize equitable outcomes.

Over the course of one year, Metro and the 710 Task Force met nearly monthly to establish a Vision Statement, Guiding Principles, and Goals and initiated the process to identify multimodal strategies, projects, and programs for the corridor, see Figure 3. With leadership and support from the Task Force, CLC, and EWG, Metro engaged community-based organizations and corridor residents to identify mobility needs. The types and number of engagement strategies are shown in Figure 4. This effort included an I-710 South Corridor mapping tool and survey between August 2 to October 31, 2022. The mapping and survey results showed strong community desire for transit improvements. Of the nearly 1,000 map comments collected through the mapping tool, 15% of comments were related to transit improvements including requests to increase bus frequency and reliability, see figure 5.

When asked what type of projects, programs, or improvements they would most like to see implemented in the corridor, 54% of survey respondents chose transit improvements, see Figure 6.

Survey respondents further specified what types of transit improvements they desire. Improved frequencies to reduce waiting times at bus/rail stations and improved amenities such as lighting and shelters were the top two selections. The Project responds to the community identified needs just described. For this reason and to provide immediate benefits to the community while the work continues to identify longer term improvements for the corridor, Metro pursued LPP-C funds for the project.

With the LPP-C funds, LA Metro will improve transit service in the I-710 communities in southeast Los Angeles County through the implementation of speed, reliability, and customer experience improvements identified in Metro’s NextGen Transit First Service Plan. These improvements include the following five elements:

PPNO LP011A: Transit Signal Priority
Metro will use a design-build contract for purchase, design, and installation of cloud-based transit signal priority (TSP) infrastructure on 114 intersections. TSP reduces trip time by shrinking dwell time at traffic signals for transit vehicles by extending green lights or shortening red lights, giving priority to transit vehicles approaching an intersection. The reduced dwell time contributes to faster and more reliable bus service, making travel times shorter and thereby making service more attractive to existing and potential new riders.

In LA County the coverage of TSP is incomplete, resulting in bus service that is more likely to be delayed in areas without TSP. Closing gaps in the TSP coverage network countywide contributes to more seamless operation of transit, speeding travel and offering more even distribution of transit benefits.

PPNO LP011B: Bus Shelters
Purchase and installation of 100 bus shelters plus real-time arrival electronic passenger information signs will be coordinated between Metro and various municipalities who are responsible for bus stops amenities within their jurisdiction. The same approach would apply for solar lighting at bus stops without shelters identified for this improvement due to lack of existing lighting. Multiple vendors may be involved in these purchases depending on existing arrangements Municipalities may have for provision of bus shelters. Shelters at the busiest bus stops will provide protection from the elements when waiting for the bus. Realtime passenger information will provide riders with more confidence when making their trip and supports equity by reducing the need for a smartphone to view real-time bus arrival and departure information.

PPNO LP011C: Solar Light Upgrades
Purchase and installation of 100 solar-powered lighting upgrades at bus stops without shelters.

Upgrades to solar lighting at other bus stops provide more reliable lighting during the evening to enhance the perception of safety.

PPNO LP011D: Terminal/Layover Improvements
Construction of civil works at the bus termini/layovers at the Norwalk, Artesia, and Compton Station mobility hubs to increase and improve bus boarding/alighting bays and layover areas and improve passenger amenities. The bus/terminal layover improvements will increase and improve bus boarding/alighting bays and layover areas and improve passenger amenities. These operational and customer experience enhancements will be made at three mobility hubs (at Norwalk, Compton, and Artesia Stations) that connect users to the Metro Bus and Rail network as well as to other transit systems serving the region. As buses run more frequently, there is greater demand at these mobility hubs for bus boarding and alighting bays, as well as layover areas for buses beginning or terminating routes. When layover areas reach capacity, buses may need to layover in areas intended for passenger drop off, forcing passengers to alight farther from their desired transfer point to other bus or Metro Rail service. The proposed operational improvements and passenger amenities at these mobility hubs will improve access to multimodal transportation. Waiting environment improvements will increase the attractiveness of transit by making the experience of riding the bus more comfortable, more convenient, and safer.

PPNO LP011E: Zero Emission Bus Charging Infrastructure
Purchase and installation of 10 ZEB charging masts to be installed at bus termini/layover areas at Norwalk, Artesia, or Compton Station mobility hubs. Metro would provide initial design concepts for these facilities. This Project makes a large investment in the reduction of GHG emissions through equipping transit terminals with ZEB charging equipment to help allow multiple transit lines to transition to zero emission battery electric bus operation on corridors that connect to the Metro A Line (Blue) and C Line (Green) light rail lines. This investment supports Metro’s comprehensive program for serving clean, safe, and sustainable communities with world-class zero emission service by 2030, supporting those many residents of Southeast Los Angeles who rely on transit for their daily mobility.

Altogether, these improvements ensure that transit riders in the Project area have access to fast, reliable, and comfortable bus service with ease to make multimodal connections.

3. Purpose and NEED
As identified through community engagement efforts during the I-710 public engagement process, the current accessibility issues and concerns in the project area focus on transit service, including bus speed, reliability, and customer experience including improved bus frequency and amenities. The Project will address these issues by improving access to fast, reliable, and comfortable bus stations and service.

In recent years, the primary contributor to slow bus speeds and poor schedule reliability has been growing traffic congestion on city streets. This congestion reduces the quality of bus service and disproportionately impacts low-income people who depend on the bus to access jobs, healthcare, and other important destinations. During the development of the NextGen Bus Plan, the public clearly told Metro that speeding up buses and improving reliability is the single most important step Metro can take to retain and grow ridership, increase the carrying capacity of local roadways, and shift regional travel patterns toward more efficient modes. The resulting NextGen Bus Plan was adopted by the Metro Board in October 2020. The Plan includes improvements that would speed up buses, double the number of frequent Metro bus lines; provide more than 80% of current bus riders with 15-minute or better frequency (compared with 48% of riders previously); create an all-day, everyday frequent service; ensure a one-quarter mile walk to a bus stop for 99% of current riders; and create a more comfortable and safer waiting environment. Key components of the Plan have been implemented between December 2020 and December 2021, including establishing a set of bus service higher frequency tiers. Additional bus speed and reliability and passenger amenity improvements remain to be implemented, including TSP, as proposed in this project, to ensure that Southeast Los Angeles residents can reliably and comfortably access the Tier 1 and Tier 2 bus services they need to get to key destinations within and beyond the project area.

Access to Multimodal Choices. Also identified during community engagement efforts, were the issues and concerns in the project area call for improving the customer experience with improved bus frequency and amenities. The Project will provide access to higher-frequency and more reliable service, allowing more modal choices through: Transit Signal Priority (TSP), bus/terminal layover improvements, and waiting environment improvements. TSP reduces trip time by shrinking dwell time at traffic signals for transit vehicles by extending green lights giving priority to transit vehicles approaching a signalized intersection. The reduced dwell time contributes to faster and more reliable bus service, making travel times shorter and thereby making service more attractive to existing and potential new riders. The bus/terminal layover improvements will increase and improve bus boarding/alighting bays and layover areas and improve passenger amenities. These operational and District 7 – Los Angeles County
Planning Program Number (PPNO): LP011A, LP011B, LP011C, LP011D, LP011E, Local Partnership Program - Competitive (LPP-C)

customer experience enhancements will be made at three mobility hubs (at Norwalk, Compton, and Artesia Stations) that connect users to the Metro Bus and Rail network as well as to other transit systems serving the region. As buses run more frequently, there is greater demand at these mobility hubs for bus boarding and alighting bays, as well as layover areas for buses beginning or terminating routes. When layover areas reach capacity, buses may need to layover in areas intended for passenger drop off, forcing passengers to alight farther from their desired transfer point to other bus or Metro Rail service. The proposed operational improvements and passenger amenities at these mobility hubs will improve access to multimodal transportation. Waiting environment improvements will increase the attractiveness of transit by making the experience of riding the bus more comfortable, more convenient, and safer. Shelters at the busiest bus stops will provide protection from the elements when waiting for the bus. Realtime passenger information will provide riders with more confidence when making their trip and supports equity by reducing the need for a smartphone to view real-time bus arrival and departure information. Upgrades to solar lighting at other bus stops provides more reliable lighting during the evening to enhance the perception of safety. Altogether, these improvements ensure that transit riders in the Project area have access to fast, reliable, and comfortable bus service with ease to make multimodal connections.

Gap Closure. In LA County the coverage of TSP is incomplete, resulting in bus service that is more likely to be delayed in areas without TSP. Closing gaps in the TSP coverage network countywide contributes to more seamless operation of transit, speeding travel and offering more even distribution of transit benefits.

Connectivity. By improving the speed, reliability, and customer experience of the bus network, the Project will enhance the connection experience at three key transit centers and improve the ability to connect to numerous employment centers, education, retail, medical, and residential locations throughout the project corridor and Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Air Quality and GHGs. The Project bus speed and reliability and passenger amenity improvements are expected to reduce greenhouse gas and vehicle emissions through investments in electric charging infrastructure to support the transition from conventional CNG vehicles to battery electric buses (BEB). Emissions reductions support state and regional climate goals of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) and state regulations including the September 2019 State Executive Order N-19-19.

The reduced emissions resulting from the shift from CNG to BEBs are specific to the on-route charging period assumed to be 15 minutes per bus per layover. With the project improvements the energy used to charge the buses is assumed to be sourced from the grid and will offset the equivalent requirements for CNG to support the same number of operating miles. As a result of transitioning from CNG to BEB, the carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds emissions related to those equivalent miles of operation Safety. Apart from roadway safety, Metro customers indicate that safety and security, including perceived safety, are crucial to the experience of using the bus and choosing to ride the bus among other travel options. Metro’s study on How Women Travel indicates that women can feel less safe waiting for the bus than they do onboard. Through TSP, the Project will decrease wait times due to faster and more reliable transit service thereby limiting any unsafe experiences. In addition, the proposed customer experience passenger amenities will enhance passenger safety and security by providing new shelters and lighting at up to 100 locations each. This investment enhances safety and District 7 – Los Angeles County

security for those riders who travel in early morning and evening/late night hours throughout the Southeast Los Angeles region, and during periods of inclement weather conditions.

Due to lack of data availability for safety incidents at individual stops to be improved through this project, the safety benefits have not been quantified for this application. As such, no safety performance measures are proposed.

System Preservation. The Project will improve the operations of existing street infrastructure by increasing person throughput. Additionally, the speed improvements resulting from the TSP element of the Project will allow Metro and other transit operators to serve as many or more passengers with the same number of buses, increasing operational efficiency and improving utilization of existing resources. Current conditions on the transportation system will improve through the implementation of transit- preferential infrastructure. TSP will increase bus line average operating speeds, reducing travel times for users of all modes on the corridor but most importantly for bus riders. The resulting system will benefit from increased throughput of bus riders, as the increased operating speeds will make buses a more appealing mobility choice.

Transportation, Land Use, and Housing Goals. SCAG’s RTP/SCS, Connect SoCal, includes several goals including:

1. Improve mobility, accessibility, reliability, and travel safety for people and goods

2. Enhance the preservation, security, and resilience of the regional transportation system

3. Increase person and goods movement and travel choices within the transportation system

4. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality

5. Leverage new transportation technologies and data-driven solutions that result in more efficient travel
The Project advances these Connect SoCal goals by implementing the plan’s recommended Sustainable Communities Strategies and Transportation Strategies and does so in Priority Growth Areas which the plan identifies as locations where the plan’s proposed strategies can be fully realized to accelerate progress towards regional goals.

One of the Sustainable Communities Strategies from Connect SoCal is to Focus Growth Near Destinations and Mobility Options. The Project implements this strategy by making speed, reliability, and customer experience improvements that will encourage the use of transportation options that reduce the reliance on and number of solo car trips. Improving the bus network in the Southeast Los Angeles region will provide a high-quality mobility option that is able to serve growth. Another strategy is to Leverage Technology Innovations. The Project implements this strategy with the ZEB charging masts and cloud-based TSP. The ZEB charging masts supports eventual full fleet transition to ZEBs by ensuring reliable on-route fueling opportunities. TSP is transit infrastructure that enables priority for low emission modes such as bus.

One of the Transportation Strategies from Connect SoCal is to Preserve and Optimize Our Current System. The Project implements this strategy by improving bus speed and reliability through TSP.

Without adding additional revenue service hours, Metro will be able to serve more riders faster due to reduced bus dwell times enabled by TSP.

The Project implements these strategies in Priority Growth Areas which are typically the dense mixed residential and commercial uses along the Tier 1 and 2 network in Southeast Los Angeles where Project improvements are proposed. The dense and intense development patterns of Priority Growth District 7 – Los Angeles County
Planning Program Number (PPNO): LP011A, LP011B, LP011C, LP011D, LP011E, Local Partnership Program - Competitive (LPP-C)
April 2024
Areas are made viable by the availability of high-quality transit such as Metro’s bus system. They also offer a high proportion of affordable housing and employment opportunities that demand equitable access. Priority Growth Areas include Livable Corridors and High-Quality Transit Areas.

Livable Corridors are major roads that feature a mix of housing and commercial development. The proposed set of speed and reliability improvements to Metro’s and other bus systems similarly support the Livable Corridors strategy, which encourages local jurisdictions to plan and zone for increased density at nodes along key corridors. A key component of the Livable Corridors strategy is Transit Improvements on “corridors that have been identified as candidates for onstreet, dedicated lane Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or semi-dedicated “BRT-lite” transit. Other corridors have the potential to support features that improve the user experience and bus performance, including enhanced bus shelters, real-time travel information, off-bus ticketing, alldoor boarding and longer distances between stops to increase speeds.” All elements of the Project advance the Livable Corridors Strategy.

High Quality Transit Areas (HQTAs) are corridor-focused Priority Growth Areas within one half mile of an existing or planned fixed guideway transit stop or a bus transit corridor where buses pick up passengers at a frequency of every 15 minutes (or less) during peak commuting hours. HQTAs are places where vibrant Transit Oriented Development can be realized and are a cornerstone of land use planning best practice in the SCAG region.

HQTAs represent under 3 percent of the region’s acreage but are projected to be home to over 51 percent of new households between 2016 and 2045. Infrastructure investments such as this Project that support walkable, compact communities that integrate land use and transportation planning for a better functioning-built environment are essential within HQTAs. SCAG also calls for investment in Transit Backbones - major corridors at the center of transit-oriented communities. Transit oriented communities concentrate on housing density and intensity, putting people closer to jobs and to transit, thereby diminishing reliance on the car. The Project will make such communities more viable.

Vehicle-Miles Traveled. The improvements in bus service travel time and improvements to waiting areas are expected to help attract new riders by being more time competitive, safe, and comfortable.

These improvements will encourage riders to choose transit thereby reducing vehicle miles traveled.

However, this application did not monetize any VMT reduction, and is not proposing a VMT performance measure.

8. RISKS
Schedule/Schedule Risks
The Project is ready to move forward. Metro understands that all major transportation capital projects include a level of risk and takes pride in fully assessing and addressing any potential risks associated with its projects before it begins construction. Metro also understands the reporting requirements and financial best practices associated with state grant funding. Furthermore, Metro has its own significant financial stake in the Project and has taken necessary precautions to ensure that it is completed on time and within budget.

There are no risks delivering the Project associated with right-of-way, as no acquisitions are required for the Project. There is potential for schedule delay if coordination with municipalities on the location of bus shelter and amenity improvements is prolonged. There is also potential for schedule delay if coordination with Caltrans is prolonged for the terminal/layover improvements at Norwalk Station mobility hub (which resides on Caltrans property). However, these risks can be mitigated as Metro has extensive experience delivering these kinds of projects and has a good working relationship with the various municipalities that will be involved in the implementation of all aspects of the Project involving infrastructure on Southeast Los Angeles streets, as well as Caltrans.

Other Potential Risks
Metro has a long history of successful delivery of State-funded Projects. The agency has a breadth of experience in handling major infrastructure projects of this scale, and larger. We have the resources and expertise to deliver this Project using the awarded state funds.

9. EXTERNAL AGENCY COORDINATION (anticipated agreements) The exact locations of the waiting environment improvements will be determined in coordination with the Southeast Los Angeles cities where the corridors are located, based on bus stop existing conditions and needs.

The terminal/layover at Norwalk Station mobility hub is on Caltrans right-of-way. Metro will cooperate with Caltrans on implementation of this element of the project.

Environmental Benefits
The Project bus speed and reliability and passenger amenity improvements are expected to reduce greenhouse gas and vehicle emissions through investments in electric charging infrastructure to support the transition from conventional CNG vehicles to battery electric buses (BEB). Emissions reductions support state and regional climate goals of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) and state regulations including the September 2019 State Executive Order N-19-19.

The reduced emissions resulting from the shift from CNG to BEBs are specific to the on-route charging period assumed to be 15 minutes per bus per layover. With the project improvements the energy used to charge the buses is assumed to be sourced from the grid and will offset the equivalent requirements for CNG to support the same number of operating miles. As a result of transitioning from CNG to BEB, the carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds emissions related to those equivalent miles of operation (see table below).

Benefit Cost Analysis
The SELA TIP is expected to generate $184.0 M in undiscounted 2021-dollar benefits from 2026 through 2045,inclusive of the offsetting net increases in rehabilitation and replacement (R&R) costs. At a 4 percent real discount rate, these total benefits are $105.1 M. The key benefits of the SELA TIP Project are derived from transit signal prioritization, waiting environment improvements, including covered busstops and real-time arrival information, and supporting the transition of LA Metro’s bus fleet from CNG to zero-emissions BEBs through installation of ZEB charging masts. Primary benefits include travel time savings, improved quality of stations and direct user benefits and the reduction in vehicle fueling costs as well reductions in vehicle emissions and upstream greenhouse gas emissions with the transition to a cleaner fuel source. Overall, the project benefits are anticipated to exceed the project costs. This leads to an overall project discounted Net Present Value of $81.1 M and a Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of 4.37.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Memorandum
To: CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS CTC Meeting: June 28-29, 2023 From: TANISHA TAYLOR, Interim Executive Director
Reference Number: 4.6, Action
Prepared By: Leishara Ward
Associate Deputy Director
Published Date: June 16, 2023
Subject: 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program Adoption – Program of Projects, Resolution G-23-47
Recommendation:

Staff recommends the California Transportation Commission (Commission) adopt the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program, as presented in Attachment B and consistent with the Resolution G-23-47 (Attachment A).

Issue:

The Commission established the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program as a two-year, $144 million program across fiscal years 2023-24 through 2024-25. The 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program proposes 11 projects for a total of $142,453,000 in funding with a combined total project cost of approximately $610 million.

The 2020 Local Partnership Competitive Program was over-programmed by $25,800,000. It received redistributed set-aside Inventive funds totaling $12,000,000 for fiscal years 2020-21 and 2021-22, leaving a remaining over-programmed amount of $13,800,000. The 2020 Local Partnership Competitive Program over-programming amount will be deducted from the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program, leaving a balance of $130,200,000 for the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program. Staff anticipates that the redistribution of $6,000,000 from set-aside Incentive funds from fiscal year 2022-23 will be redistributed in August 2023 and increase the available funding capacity for the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program to the final amount of $136,200,000.

Therefore, the recommended 2022 Program of Projects includes an over-programmed amount of $6,253,000, to be funded with future unused Incentive funds that are set-aside each fiscal year, if available or project cost savings generated over the two-year program. The anticipated, unused Incentive funding available for fiscal year 2023-24 is $8,000,000, which could be redistributed to the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program in August 2024. Any remaining over-programmed amount by the end of fiscal year 2024-25 will be deducted from the Local Partnership Competitive Program in the subsequent programming cycle.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION The recommended Program of Projects includes a variety of project types that collectively will enhance and maintain roadways, including: the construction of a roundabout and replacement of a highway interchange; construction of active transportation and complete street improvements; construction of bridge improvements; improvements to bus and rail public transit; implementation of traffic management system enhancements; and rehabilitation of local road infrastructure.

The recommended Program of Projects was posted on the Commission’s website on June 8, 2023, and is included in the book item as Attachment B.

Development of Staff Recommendations
The Commission received 37 project nominations seeking a total of $560.3 million in 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program funds.

Evaluation teams consisting of Commission and Caltrans staff reviewed project nominations based on the screening and evaluation criteria set forth in the Commission’s adopted 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program Guidelines. In addition, applications were reviewed by the Department of Housing and Community Development staff for the Transportation, Land Use and Housing criteria, as well as members of the Interagency Equity Advisory Committee for the Community Engagement evaluation criteria. Due to the competitive nature of this program, staff evaluations were limited to documentation submitted with the application package including the required performance metrics outlined in the program guidelines.

The 11 projects recommended in the Program of Projects were determined to best address the criteria outlined in the guidelines and are anticipated to provide the following benefits:
• Reduce thousands of vehicle miles traveled
• Reduce thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions
• Save person-hours of travel time
• Create nearly 10,000 thousand jobs
The projects proposed for funding meet the following program requirements: the nominating agencies have established eligibility with either a voter-approved tax, toll or fee, or an imposed fee within their jurisdiction that solely dedicates revenue to transportation; the fund request is for construction in an eligible fiscal year; each project’s construction phase has a full funding commitment, including any potential cost increases. All applications were organized into eligibility types (voter-approved tax, toll, or fee or imposed fee) and population categories pursuant to the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Guidelines. The recommended Program of Projects resembles a similar proportion of these types and categories when compared to all projects submitted.

Projects not recommended for funding were considered less competitive for a variety of reasons, including: the start of the construction phase was outside of the program cycle; inconsistent or ineligible funding plan; lack of local match; low community engagement; less benefit demonstrated when compared to cost; or project was fully funded from another state or federal discretionary program. Lastly, one project was deemed ineligible based on information provided in the application. The projects not recommended for funding are, by and large, worthy projects, though not as competitive for this program cycle.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Project Highlights:

The recommended Program of Projects will deliver a variety of benefits that include reduction of vehicle miles traveled; safety improvements for motorized and non-motorized users; transition to electric bus fleets; increased mobility and accessibility; bridge improvements; improved pavement conditions; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; and advance transportation and housing goals.

Five of the projects focus on local road improvements including a highway overcrossing, new and modified bridges, complete streets, traffic management system enhancements, and safety improvements.

Two of the projects involve highway improvements including the reconstruction of an existing interchange and replacement of a rural highway intersection with a modern roundabout.

Four of the projects improve public transportation for bus and rail services by reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing operational improvements that will increase speed, safety, and reliability.

While most of the projects incorporate bicycle and pedestrian facilities, one project has made active transportation and complete streets its main purpose. These projects support the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure and the state’s climate, housing, safety, equity, and economic vitality goals as they incorporate multimodal, transit, and active transportation solutions.

The following descriptions highlight a sample of projects contained in the staff recommendations:

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Memorandum
To: CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS CTC Meeting: June 28-29, 2023 From: TANISHA TAYLOR, Interim Executive Director
Reference Number: 4.6, Action
Prepared By: Leishara Ward
Associate Deputy Director
Published Date: June 16, 2023
Subject: 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program Adoption – Program of Projects, Resolution G-23-47
Recommendation:

Staff recommends the California Transportation Commission (Commission) adopt the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program, as presented in Attachment B and consistent with the Resolution G-23-47 (Attachment A).

Issue:

The Commission established the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program as a two-year, $144 million program across fiscal years 2023-24 through 2024-25. The 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program proposes 11 projects for a total of $142,453,000 in funding with a combined total project cost of approximately $610 million.

The 2020 Local Partnership Competitive Program was over-programmed by $25,800,000. It received redistributed set-aside Inventive funds totaling $12,000,000 for fiscal years 2020-21 and 2021-22, leaving a remaining over-programmed amount of $13,800,000. The 2020 Local Partnership Competitive Program over-programming amount will be deducted from the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program, leaving a balance of $130,200,000 for the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program. Staff anticipates that the redistribution of $6,000,000 from set-aside Incentive funds from fiscal year 2022-23 will be redistributed in August 2023 and increase the available funding capacity for the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program to the final amount of $136,200,000.

Therefore, the recommended 2022 Program of Projects includes an over-programmed amount of $6,253,000, to be funded with future unused Incentive funds that are set-aside each fiscal year, if available or project cost savings generated over the two-year program. The anticipated, unused Incentive funding available for fiscal year 2023-24 is $8,000,000, which could be redistributed to the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program in August 2024. Any remaining over-programmed amount by the end of fiscal year 2024-25 will be deducted from the Local Partnership Competitive Program in the subsequent programming cycle.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION The recommended Program of Projects includes a variety of project types that collectively will enhance and maintain roadways, including: the construction of a roundabout and replacement of a highway interchange; construction of active transportation and complete street improvements; construction of bridge improvements; improvements to bus and rail public transit; implementation of traffic management system enhancements; and rehabilitation of local road infrastructure.

The recommended Program of Projects was posted on the Commission’s website on June 8, 2023, and is included in the book item as Attachment B.

Development of Staff Recommendations
The Commission received 37 project nominations seeking a total of $560.3 million in 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program funds.

Evaluation teams consisting of Commission and Caltrans staff reviewed project nominations based on the screening and evaluation criteria set forth in the Commission’s adopted 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Program Guidelines. In addition, applications were reviewed by the Department of Housing and Community Development staff for the Transportation, Land Use and Housing criteria, as well as members of the Interagency Equity Advisory Committee for the Community Engagement evaluation criteria. Due to the competitive nature of this program, staff evaluations were limited to documentation submitted with the application package including the required performance metrics outlined in the program guidelines.

The 11 projects recommended in the Program of Projects were determined to best address the criteria outlined in the guidelines and are anticipated to provide the following benefits:
• Reduce thousands of vehicle miles traveled
• Reduce thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions
• Save person-hours of travel time
• Create nearly 10,000 thousand jobs
The projects proposed for funding meet the following program requirements: the nominating agencies have established eligibility with either a voter-approved tax, toll or fee, or an imposed fee within their jurisdiction that solely dedicates revenue to transportation; the fund request is for construction in an eligible fiscal year; each project’s construction phase has a full funding commitment, including any potential cost increases. All applications were organized into eligibility types (voter-approved tax, toll, or fee or imposed fee) and population categories pursuant to the 2022 Local Partnership Competitive Guidelines. The recommended Program of Projects resembles a similar proportion of these types and categories when compared to all projects submitted.

Projects not recommended for funding were considered less competitive for a variety of reasons, including: the start of the construction phase was outside of the program cycle; inconsistent or ineligible funding plan; lack of local match; low community engagement; less benefit demonstrated when compared to cost; or project was fully funded from another state or federal discretionary program. Lastly, one project was deemed ineligible based on information provided in the application. The projects not recommended for funding are, by and large, worthy projects, though not as competitive for this program cycle.

CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS Reference No.: 4.6

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Project Highlights:

The recommended Program of Projects will deliver a variety of benefits that include reduction of vehicle miles traveled; safety improvements for motorized and non-motorized users; transition to electric bus fleets; increased mobility and accessibility; bridge improvements; improved pavement conditions; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; and advance transportation and housing goals.

Five of the projects focus on local road improvements including a highway overcrossing, new and modified bridges, complete streets, traffic management system enhancements, and safety improvements.

Two of the projects involve highway improvements including the reconstruction of an existing interchange and replacement of a rural highway intersection with a modern roundabout.

Four of the projects improve public transportation for bus and rail services by reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing operational improvements that will increase speed, safety, and reliability.

While most of the projects incorporate bicycle and pedestrian facilities, one project has made active transportation and complete streets its main purpose. These projects support the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure and the state’s climate, housing, safety, equity, and economic vitality goals as they incorporate multimodal, transit, and active transportation solutions.

The following descriptions highlight a sample of projects contained in the staff recommendations:
• US 101/Hearn Avenue Regional Multimodal Interchange, $8,600,000 – in the City of Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, the project will replace the US 101/Hearn Avenue overcrossing to increase vertical clearance over US 101 and provide two vehicle lanes in each direction, a median, sidewalks, Class II bike lanes, and Class IV protected bikeways. It will also widen the US 101 off-ramp, add lanes at select intersections and add ADA elements and protected intersection facilities for bike crossings. • Oakland Alameda Access Project, $25,000,000 – in the Cities of Oakland and Alameda, Alameda County, the project is located on Interstate 880 and State Route 260 between 5th Avenue Overhead and 5th and 6th Street Viaduct. The project proposes to improve access along I-880 and in and around the Webster and Posey Tubes (SR-260 tunnels under the Oakland Estuary), downtown Oakland, and the City of Alameda by removing the I-880/Broadway northbound off-ramp, realigning the westbound I980/Jackson Street on-ramp, widening northbound I-880/Oak Street off-ramp, installing a horseshoe-shaped ramp connecting the Posey Tube to northbound I-880, and restriping and reconfigurations of local roadways adjacent to I-880. In addition, the project will provide significant active transportation facilities and safety enhancements, including various bikeways, sidewalks, bulb-outs, crosswalks, and widening of the Webster Tube Walkway. The project also supports a freight mode shift by accommodating additional rail capacity. Finally, proposed improvements include implementation of follow up landscaping work to restore removed vegetation required by the highway improvements.
