WEST SACRAMENTO ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE
FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1 (“EIFD”) BUDGET POLICY
Since its inception, the City of West Sacramento has leveraged tax-increment financing tools to invest in infrastructure and economic development activities. The City has invested tax-increment revenues to eliminate physical and market barriers to attract private and public investments that have vastly improved the community and wellbeing of residents, businesses and visitors.

Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (“EIFD” or “District”) enables the City to continue investing in community revitalization and economic development efforts. The EIFD will be an important tool for the City to advance transitioning many heavy industrial areas to mixed-use destinations that celebrate the City’s waterfront location, to enhance the City’s transportation network, and to improve public facilities.

Consistent with Government Code Sections 53398.50-53398.88 (EIFD Law), EIFD revenues and bond proceeds are eligible to fund projects with demonstrated communitywide significance that provide benefits to the District or the surrounding community. As provided in the EIFD Infrastructure Financing Plan (“IFP”), the District formation document, EIFD revenues will fund projects that advance the City’s current and future anticipated adopted General Plan, specific plans, facilities master plans, capital projects, development agreements, development projects, and related planning and economic development documents (“Planning Documents”).

The EIFD Budget Policy is intended as general budget and priority guidance for EIFD revenues and is not an investment or economic development strategy. The Budget Policy may be modified in the future with City Council and EIFD Public Financing Authority approval of investment strategies for the District.

EIFD No. 1 Goals and Eligible Improvements
Consistent with the City adopted Community Investment Action Plan (“CIAP”), EIFD investments in infrastructure, community and economic development activities will result in private investment to improve the local economy, create new revenue for the City, and enhance quality of life. As established in the District IFP, EIFD goals include:
 Assisting with the infrastructure investment gap, by allocating tax increment to provide a stable source of financing for the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”), to strategic infrastructure projects, and to other eligible EIFD uses.  Provide a stable source of revenue for capital investment.  Leverage private investment.
 Support land assembly and environmental cleanup.
 Leverage outside funds, such as federal and state grants.  Use in conjunction with other financing district revenues, such as Community Facility Districts and Benefit Assessment Districts.
 Support adaptive reuse and creative reuse of existing real estate assets.  Induce private investment where it would otherwise not occur.  Support projects with a community-wide or regional benefit.

The EIFD IFP identifies facilities planned for District investment. These improvements may change over time as EIFD Law continues to evolve and as the City updates its Planning Documents. Proposed changes to the EIFD IFP will be reviewed and approved by the Authority.

Projects will be prioritized that best accomplish EIFD Goals as described above and will be considered as part of the City Council’s annual Strategic Plan. Evaluation criteria will accompany EIFD funding requests as part of the City’s budgeting process.

EIFD No. 1 Revenue Allocation
To maximize investment opportunities, EIFD tax-increment revenues will be directed to the EIFD Fund to pay for annual debt service and coverage of potential EIFD bond issuances and administrative activities related to District implementation (e.g., auditing, annual reporting, bond and legal counsel). All other tax increment revenues will be directed to the Community Investment EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION 25-55
420
Fund (Measure G) to pay for facilities and activities, consistent with the criteria established for Measure G funding and as outlined in the Community Investment Fund Policy. Improvements funded with EIFD bond proceeds will be reviewed and approved by the City Council through the City’s budgeting process and received by the Authority at least annually through the EIFD Annual Report.

Improvements and operations funded with Measure G revenues will be considered by the City Council through the City’s budgeting process, and vetted using the Measure G Scorecard, a project evaluation tool.

Contingency Declaration
If, in connection with the issuance of bonds or other debt obligations by the EIFD, and if required by the terms of the issuance or sale of such obligations, the City pledges to allocate tax increment to secure the payment of such obligations, the annual allocation of tax increment by the City under the Infrastructure Financing Plan (“IFP”) shall be contingent on the EIFD’s having applied tax increment only for authorized purposes under the IFP and EIFD Law, including the payment of debt service on bonds or other debt obligations issued to accomplish such purposes, and in no event may any future allocation of tax increment revenue be accelerated.

Irrevocable Transfer
If, in connection with the issuance of bonds or other debt obligations by the EIFD, and if required by the terms of the issuance or sale of such obligations, the City shall provide any authorization necessary to allow for the irrevocable transfer (subject to contingency required by applicable law) of any such tax increment revenues to the EIFD for the payment of debt service (and including any amounts necessary for a reserve fund, other credit enhancements, or to satisfy any other financing terms and conditions) on the bonds or other debt obligations. 421

OBJECTIVE
This report's purpose is to request City Council authorization to execute and submit the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Transportation Development Act claim to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments and conduct a workshop on the On-Demand Rideshare Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommend that the City Council:
1) Approve Resolution 25-83 authorizing the claim and allocation of up to $4,521,023 in Transportation Development Act Funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 to support fixed-route, paratransit, and on-demand transit services, as well as the associated administration, planning and maintenance costs, and the associated amendments to the FY 2025-26 operations and maintenance budget; 2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute and submit the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Transportation Development Act claim to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments; 3) Receive the staff presentation and conduct a public workshop to receive feedback on the On-Demand Rideshare Program and fare structure; and
4) Approve an increase of ViaPass fares to $28 regular / $14 discounted.

BACKGROUND
The West Sacramento On-Demand Rideshare Program (also known as Via) was launched as a 1-Year Pilot on May 14, 2018, following robust Transportation, Mobility & Infrastructure (TMI) Commission and City Council engagement dating back to June 2016. The program was initially developed in response to City Council direction to explore a more flexible, innovative public transit model that better served resident needs, as fixed route bus service continued to experience increased costs alongside declining ridership. In June 2024, the City Council approved a new professional services contract with Nomad Transit LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Via Transportation Inc., for a three-year initial term to continue providing turnkey on-demand transit services for the City.

Since its inception, the City funded the On-Demand Rideshare Program with Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. TDA is administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and provides two sources of public transportation funding for local governments: Local Transportation Funds (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) funds. The funds are intended for the development and support of public transportation needs that exist in California and are allocated to counties based on population, taxable sales and transit performance. LTF funds are primarily intended to support public transit services, but can support a wide variety of transportation programs including planning activities, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, road rehabilitation or other community transit, bus and rail projects. However, STA funds have more restrictive criteria and regulations that must be met in order to fund eligible expenses. Unlike LTF, STA funds may not be allocated for fund administration, streets, roads, or pedestrian/bicycle facility purposes.

The City must annually submit a claim for review and approval by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Board of Directors to claim its allocation of TDA funds. Upon SACOG approval of the TDA Claim, Yolo County disburses the allocation request to the City.

When the On-Demand Rideshare Program initiated in 2018, the City had prior year LTF balances dating back to Fiscal Year 2016-17 (FY16-17) and supported the On-Demand Rideshare Program using these prior year reserves. Leading up to the June 2024 contract award, staff presented City Council with updates and workshops on the future of the On-Demand Rideshare Program, focusing on the funding shortfall to continue the program 430 FY25-26 TDA Claim and Via Workshop
August 20, 2025

long-term and options to consider. Annual LTF balances available for local use after expenses for SACOG and YoloTD are not sufficient to cover the On-Demand Rideshare Program’s annual costs. Staff conducted a workshop with budget scenarios for continuation of the program, and the City Council directed staff to award the contract under a full operations scenario. The three-year initial term contract with Nomad Transit LLC for $10,046,947. The City Council approved Resolution 24-61, transferring $3,160,368 of Bridge District Funds to support contracted services, staff time and resources for the On-Demand Rideshare Program. With the FY24- 25 TDA claim and Resolution 24-89, the prior year LTF balances were fully claimed in FY24-25. Staff estimated another funding source would need to be identified for the remaining gap for the 3rd year of the contract (FY26- 27), and for a significant portion annually for contract extensions beyond FY26-27.

ANALYSIS
On June 9, 2025, the Yolo County Transportation District (YoloTD) adopted their FY25-26 budget. Per the 2025- 26 Findings of Apportionment for LTF and the Allocation of STA Funds (Attachment 1), West Sacramento is anticipated to receive $4,521,023 in FY25-26 TDA fund revenues. This includes $3,969,310 in LTF and $551,713 in STA.

The City uses TDA funds for YoloBus service, YoloTD planning fees and SACOG planning fees. After funding these expenses, the estimated balance available for local use for FY 2025-26 is $1,228,946 (Table 1).

The submitted FY24-25 TDA claim was updated to reflect this reduction, resulting in lower remaining LTF funding for local use. 3 Fare revenues came in at $365,344.07. Due to the pre-payment and discount, $64,134.24 of fare revenues was not used and will be rolled over to FY25-26.
4 City received $13,700 of Clean Air Funds to support West Sacramento to Downtown Sacramento Rideshare Pilot.

The FY25-26 contracted budget is $3,347,498.40 and estimated staff time and other resources is $197,764.

Table 4 provides an update on estimated cost and funding through FY26-27. If LTF available for local use continues to remain constant, staff estimates approximately $1.08 million in additional funding will need to be identified to fully operate through FY26-27 and approximately $2.4 million each year after.

1 Estimated staff time and resources cost increased for administrative oversight costs. 2 $64,134.25 of FY24-25 fare revenues unused and is rolled over to FY25-26.

The On-Demand Rideshare Program FY24-25 approximate cost per ride is $16.08, based on the expenses of the contract with NoMad Transit LLC, staff time, and other resource costs. As such, the City highly subsidizes the On-Demand Rideshare Program - currently the regular fare is $3.50 and the City also currently offers a ViaPass, a discounted weekly frequent rider program that offers riders up to four rides a day, seven days a week for $15. Seniors 62+ and individuals with eligible disabilities receive a 50 percent discount off the regular fare and ViaPass price.

The City recovers and reinvests fare revenues to the program, so appropriately managing the ViaPass program promotes financial and operational sustainability of the rideshare program. Increasing the cost of ViaPass will allow the City to recover more per ride and may help manage demand to maintain viability of the service longterm. ViaPass accounts for approximately 45 percent of all completed bookings. ViaPass holders account for approximately 16 percent of riders, but use 49 percent of total monthly vehicle hours. Two percent of riders are considered ViaPass “power users”, which mean that they take 50-110 rides per month. The power users use 12 percent of total monthly vehicle hours. Typically, if a rider uses Via five or more times in a week, they will likely purchase a ViaPass ($3.50 fare x 5 rides = $17.50). If all rides are taken, riders pay $0.53 cents per ride for ViaPass or $0.27 per ride for discount-qualified ViaPass holders.

Staff propose increasing the weekly ViaPass program from $15 to $28. Discount-qualified riders will continue to receive 50% off on ViaPass. This program will continue to offer significant savings - four rides a day over seven days cost $98 at regular fare and $49 at discounted fare. Under the new proposed fare, if a rider uses Via eight or more times a week, they will likely purchase a ViaPass ($3.50 fare x 8 rides = $28). If all rides are taken, riders pay $1 per ride for ViaPass or $0.50 per ride for discount-qualified ViaPass holders. 432

Increasing the ViaPass fare will also better align the costs and value of demand responsive rides, and price ViaPass accordingly alongside regional transit pass programs. YoloTD currently offers the following transit passes and discount/free fares:

Type Regular
(Adult 19-61)
Senior/Disabled
(62+/Disabled)
Monthly Local Routes $84.00 $42.00
Monthly Intercity Routes $93.50 $42.00
Monthly Express Routes $121.00 $42.00
Monthly SacRT + Yolobus $100.00 $50.00
Note: Youth ages 0-18 ride free on YoloBus
SacRT offers the following transit passes and discount/free fares:

Type Basic
(Adult 19-61)
Senior/Disabled
(62+/Disabled)
Super Senior
(75+)
Student
Monthly Pass $100.00 $50.00 $40.00 $20.00
Semi-Monthly Pass $50.00 $25.00 - $10.00
Note: Many students, in grades TK through 12, are eligible for free transit passes.

In other markets where Via operates, the funding agency has increased their frequent rider program fares. For example, Arlington, Texas increased their weekly ViaPass from $15 to $25 in January 2021 and Palo Alto, California increased their weekly ViaPass from $20 to $40 and their monthly ViaPass from $65 to $130. If approved, staff aims to apply changes in Fall 2025.

West Sacramento - Downtown Sacramento Pilot Update
Since implementation of the On-Demand Rideshare Program, service riders, residents, TMI Commission members, and the City Council have expressed interest in expanding the program to serve key locations in Downtown Sacramento including Kaiser Permanente, Sacramento Valley Station Amtrak, Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) Light Rail Transit (LRT) stations, among other locations. On March 20, 2024, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SacRT and Yolo County Transportation District (YoloTD) allowing West Sacramento On-Demand rideshare service to pilot an expansion of West Sacramento On-Demand within SacRT’s service boundary within the City of Sacramento.

On June 12, 2024, the Yolo Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) Board awarded $13,700 in Clean Air Funds to the “West Sacramento-Downtown Sacramento On-Demand Rideshare Pilot.” This funding award covered the fares of an estimated two percent increase in annual ridership, or approximately 3,900 rides. The goal of the Pilot was to understand rider demand to Downtown Sacramento destinations using rideshare and to use this information to determine whether the City’s On-Demand Rideshare Program should expand the service zone. Secondarily, this pilot program would enable staff to analyze how fare changes influence ridership demand.

At the time, City staff did not propose an increase to vehicle hours for the FY24-25 On-Demand Rideshare Program budget but to absorb the impacts of the service expansion Pilot into the current program. Using the data from the Pilot, City staff would analyze how much the expansion to Downtown Sacramento may affect the Program.

The City launched the Pilot on October 7, 2024, and the free fares subsidized by the Clean Air Funds grant ended on December 25, 2024. Rides in Downtown Sacramento were limited to the following pick-up/drop-off locations in Downtown Sacramento: 1) Sacramento Valley Station, 2) Kaiser Permanente Downtown Commons Medical Offices, and 3) N Street/8th Street intersection. For On-Demand riders between October 7, 2024, to December 25, 2024, the Clean Air Fund subsidized 3,874 rides between West Sacramento and Downtown Sacramento. With the Pilot’s free fares ending within 12 weeks of launch, ridership was significantly greater than staff expectations.
433
FY25-26 TDA Claim and Via Workshop
August 20, 2025

A survey was generated and released between December 26, 2024, to January 24, 2025, to learn more about Pilot riders and their experience. The survey was promoted on the Via app and on the City’s social media outlets.

The survey was available in English and provided City staff contact information if further assistance or language interpretation was needed. The City received 233 responses for the survey. A summary of the survey results is included in Attachment 4.

After December 25th, riders were charged the On-Demand Rideshare Program’s regular fare structure for rides ending or starting in Downtown Sacramento - $3.50 for regular fares or $15 for a weekly pass and 50% discount for senior/disabled fares. Between December 26, 2024, to June 30, 2025, when regular fares were applied, 12,189 rides were taken between West Sacramento and Downtown Sacramento. Overall, Downtown Sacramento trips accounted for 10.86% of total completed rides (16,063 completed Pilot rides/ 147,828 total completed passenger rides) between October 7th to June 30th.

Based on the high continued demand for Downtown Sacramento trips, City Council, YoloTD, and SacRT approved an extension to the MOU to continue operating the On-Demand Rideshare Pilot program in Downtown Sacramento to June 30, 2027. With this extension, City staff will coordinate with Via and continue to make modifications to the pick-up/drop-off zones, fares, and hours of operation during the remainder of the Pilot’s extended term. Based on results of the initial Pilot and survey, staff plans to make the following changes to the Pilot program:
 Remove the Sacramento Valley Station pick-up/drop-off zone. This area showed the lowest demand and is less than 1,000 feet of the Downtown Commons Kaiser Medical Center pick-up/drop-off zone.  Apply a new fare structure for rides that start/end in the Downtown Sacramento zone. The new fares will be based on trip distance - $4.50 base fare plus $1 per mile. With this fare structure, Downtown Sacramento rides are estimated at a maximum of $12.50. Note that verified discounted riders will continue to receive 50% discounted fares.
 Eliminate Downtown Sacramento rides from eligible ViaPass ride redemption.

The change in fare structure is targeted to provide West Sacramento On-Demand rides into Downtown Sacramento at a rate less than that of a typical private rideshare company rate (Uber/Lyft) but more than YoloTD bus transit service into Downtown Sacramento. Staff will notify riders that the City will begin testing changes to the Pilot and service rates and intend to implement these changes in late summer 2025. YoloTD is installing new automatic passenger counters and will be providing more accurate alighting and boarding data by stop to better understand the impact of these service changes on transit ridership. City staff will continue to monitor the Pilot while analyzing and managing impacts on the West Sacramento On-Demand Rideshare service and Yolobus service and will coordinate with Via to make further modifications to the Pilot where required.

Consideration of Other Service Parameter Changes
The City Council may consider and direct staff to implement other service parameter changes to further manage the program. The City Council may consider changes such as activating required transit mode choice, reducing vehicle hours, cutting low demand hours of operations, reducing service areas with high-cost trips, or additional fare modifications.

Environmental Considerations
Not applicable.

Commission Recommendation
On July 7, 2025, staff presented a workshop to the TMI Commission on the On-Demand Rideshare Program and asked for the Commission’s feedback and to support the ViaPass fare increase from $15 to $28.

During the workshop, some of the feedback provided included:
 Support of the City continuing the Downtown Sacramento Pilot and the upcoming testing, and interested in future testing to consider reducing operating hours or weekend service for Downtown Sacramento, a separate ViaPass for Downtown Sacramento service, or considering other Downtown zones during the pilot testing period. Staff noted that pick-up/drop-off zones must be coordinated with SacRT and YoloTD, per the On-Demand Rideshare Memorandum of Understanding.  Continued interest in exploring prior service parameter recommendations. Previously, during the 2024 workshops, the Commissioners showed mix support for adjusting operating hours and overall support to consider fare modifications (e.g. distanced based pricing or increasing fares during low-demand hours) to help manage the Program. Staff updated Commission that City Council did not indicate interest in modifying the Program’s service parameters (hours of operation, service area, or fares) or other options, 434 FY25-26 TDA Claim and Via Workshop
August 20, 2025

Page 6 ends

and instead directed staff to continue the Program under a full operations scenario with the contract award in June 2024.
 Concern expressed about reliability during high school pick-up/drop-off hours, particularly in the mornings. Some Commissioners expressed interest in restricting pick-up/drop-offs at River City High School around school start/end, but City staff highlighted potential unintended consequences such as impacts riders looking to go to the Recreation Center, impacts on riders with mobility issues, or potential uptick in pick-up/drop-offs outside the restricted zone. Staff indicated that Via regularly tracks ridership in relation to available vehicles and seats unavailable to appropriately service plan but would review with Via and address if necessary. Upon further analysis, City staff determined that approximately 20 percent of rides were dropped-off around River City High School in the mornings/picked-up around River City High School in the afternoons during the school year. Washington Unified School District does operate a school bus fleet and the City could consider modifications to the On-Demand Rideshare Program, if directed by City Council.
 Concern expressed regarding cost and impact on low-income riders. Interest in City including low-income eligibility for discounted fares. City staff noted that it may be possible and up to the direction of the Council, but it would require additional staff time to verify and monitor the status of this eligibility criteria as income may change over time.

Overall, the Commission supported staff recommendation (Yes – 3; No – 1; Abstain – 1).

Strategic Plan Integration
Approving the submission of the annual TDA Claim supports the City’s principle of Core Services and Infrastructure by sustaining a financially sound city and providing quality services, and directly implements the City’s Strategic Plan principles of Mobility & Connectivity through the provision of convenient and sustainable transportation choices and Climate & Energy Resiliency by encouraging shared trips to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Alternatives
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Recommended Action.

Alternatively, the City Council could modify the recommendation in one or more of the following ways:

1. Make modifications to the TDA claim;

2. Make modifications to staff’s recommendation on the proposed ViaPass fare;

3. Direct staff to make additional modifications to the On-Demand Rideshare Program;

4. Decline to act or delay action on the recommended actions; or

5. Direct staff to end the On-Demand Rideshare Program.

Staff does not recommend Alternative 1 or Alternative 3 as it would delay or impact funding for services. Staff does not recommend Alternative 2 based on staff’s analysis on the ViaPass fare adjustment. Staff does not recommend Alternative 4 based on Council’s prior support of the On-Demand Rideshare Program.

Coordination and Review
This report and the FY25-26 TDA Claim was coordinated by the Transportation & Mobility Division of the Community Development Department, in conjunction with the YoloTD budget process and City Council approved West Sacramento On-Demand Rideshare program budget. Review was conducted by the City’s Finance Department and SACOG staff.

Budget/Cost Impact
For FY25-26, the City of West Sacramento’s TDA allocation was $4,521,023. The approval of this report will authorize the City to submit a claim to draw $4,521,023 for FY25-26 budgeted expenses, leaving an unearned remaining balance of $0 for future public transportation and other eligible costs. For FY25-26 On-Demand Rideshare operations, staff estimates using $1.9 million of one-time Bridge District funds. The FY26-27 deficit may adjust based on fare revenues received or available LTF for local use. The additional funding needed to fill the remaining deficit will be filled through an unidentified funding source Should City Council approve staff’s recommendation to increase ViaPass fares to $28 regular / $14 discounted, fare revenues may adjust. Staff will continue to track fare revenue and its impact on the budget shortfall.

Flag Status: Flagged
Hello Everyone,
I would like to request a City Council proclamation recognizing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Retired Colonel Chad W. Caldwell for his distinguished service and significant contributions to the City of West Sacramento.

Attached is a West Sacramento News Ledger article highlighting how Colonel Caldwell played a pivotal role in securing the historic $1.1 billion federal investment for flood protection through the establishment of the new start program. His leadership and commitment have been instrumental in advancing the West Sacramento Levee Improvement Project and ensuring the safety of our community for generations to come.

I had the honor of attending Colonel Caldwell’s retirement ceremony and would like to formally recognize his achievements at an upcoming City Council meeting. I kindly request your support in preparing a proclamation and would appreciate coordination with Paul Dirkson to identify an appropriate meeting date for presenting this honor.

Please let me know how best to proceed. I’m happy to provide any additional information or support necessary.

Thank you, Martha
.
