Subject:
Capital Project Needs Analysis Reports for San Bernardino County Transportation Authority
Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council approve the submission of the Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA) Reports to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority for Fiscal Years 2027/2028 through 2031/2032.
Fiscal Impact:
The approval of the CPNA does not have a direct fiscal impact. Planned expenses for this fiscal year were included in the approved budget. An additional appropriation is not required.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with Goal E in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026, “Invest in Infrastructure.” The CPNA is a tool utilized by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to budget and fund projects that fall under the Victor Valley Major Local Highways Program including bridge projects or major road improvement projects.
Background:
The Measure I 2010-2040 Strategic Plan requires local jurisdictions to annually adopt a five-year CPNA. The CPNA is used to analyze the cash flow needs for the Victor Valley Major Local Highways Program (local high desert area) and the Valley Freeway Interchange and Arterial Programs (San Bernardino/Inland Empire area) to support decisions that will be made by the SBCTA Board as part of its annual budgeting process.
Jurisdictions are required to submit to SBCTA by September 30, 2026, both the CPNA reports for Fiscal Years 2027/2028 - 2031/2032 and an adopting resolution or minute action.
The CPNA includes an estimate of project costs by funding type, fiscal year, and phase for the five-year period following the beginning of the subsequent fiscal year. It also 4 9

demonstrates that the jurisdiction has the development mitigation fair share funds for the projects as assigned by the SBCTA Nexus Study. The SBCTA Board approves the projects listed in the first two years of the CPNA as eligible for reimbursement, subject to several factors within the Victor Valley Major Local Highways Program.
Approval of the CPNA by the SBCTA Board does not guarantee fund availability. The CPNA serves to establish eligibility for reimbursement. Jurisdictions like Victorville must be aware of their allocation balances and anticipated equitable share revenue to determine financial constraints. The approval of the list of projects eligible for reimbursement is approved by the SBCTA Board in conjunction with the annual budget.
The Victor Valley Major Local Highways Program (MLHP) requires that a master list of projects eligible for funding be maintained and periodically updated. The list of eligible projects must be approved by the SBCTA Board, based on a recommendation of the Victor Valley subarea representatives and the Mountain/Desert Committee. The current list of near-term approved projects was included in the 2025 update to the 10-Year Delivery Plan and through subsequent Board allocations; however, there is flexibility to add projects to the list of eligible projects if funding capacity is available. At a minimum, the CPNA should include the projects that are contained in the 10-Year Delivery Plan and/or under existing funding agreements with the current cash flow needs.
Discussion:
The Mojave Drive and Bear Valley Road street improvement projects need to be included in the CPNA to comply with SBCTA’s requirements. The CPNA project report attached shows the funding organized in a table by phase, fund type and fiscal year. The funding for the report must be entered in SBCTA form that has a pre-determined format. The phases are: PA&ED (project approval and environmental document), PS&E (plans, specifications, and estimates); ROW (right of way); and CONST (construction). The fund types are as follows: “MSI MLHP” (Measure I Major Local Highway Program); “DEV FEE” (road development impact fees); and “STP” (surface transportation program).
The STP category is for federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding that department staff applied for in 2025 and was subsequently awarded to the City by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for Mojave Drive.
Staff recommends that the Honorable City Council approve the submission of the Capital Project Needs Analysis Reports including the Mojave Drive and Bear Valley Road street improvement projects for Fiscal Years 2027/2028 through 2031/2032.
Staff is available for any questions Council may have.
