  7. Let’s Focus on Three Funding Programs in the Transportation Bond… • The Corridor Mobility Improvement -- $4.5 billion • The Trade Corridors Improvement -- $2 billion • State Local Partnership -- $1 billion

  8. Corridor Mobility Improvements • $4.5 billion, subject to north-south 40/60 split • Known Deadlines • CTC adopts guidelines by December 1, 2006 • We must nominate projects by January 15, 2007 • CTC adopts initial program of projects by March 1, 2007 • Known Eligibility Criteria for Projects • Must have a high priority at both the State and regional levels or local funds dedicated to the project. • Must able to start Construction by December 31, 2012. • Improves mobility in a high-congestion corridor, improves connectivity of the State highway system, or improves operations and safety of a highway. • Improves access to jobs, housing, markets, and commerce.

  9. Corridor Mobility Improvements … Issues • Are Transit Projects Eligible, such as BART Extension to Warm Springs? • How will the Region and the State prioritize projects? • What will be the CMA and ACTIA programming principles? • What will be the process for CMA and ACTIA staff to participate in the development of the guidelines at the State level?

  10. Most Congested Corridors … 40% of Bay Area Congestion is in Alameda County

  11. Corridor Mobility Improvements … Example Projects • Altamont Freight Corridor • I-580 Corridor in Tri-Valley • I-238 in Central County • I-880 in North and Central County • I-80 in North County • BART Extension to Warm Springs

  12. Trade Corridors Improvements • $2 billion for federally designated “Trade Corridors of National Significance” • Deadlines not yet established • Known Eligibility Criteria for Projects • Provides highway capacity and operational improvements to move freight more efficiently • Truck Corridors improvements, including dedicated truck lanes • Freight rail system improvements • Enhances capacity and efficiency at Ports • Surface transportation improvements to facilitate goods movement to and from airports • Must have supplemental funding that is at least equal to the amount contributed by this fund

  13. Trade Corridor Improvements … Issues • How is “Trade Corridors of National Significance” defined? I-580, I-880, I-238? • What guidelines will CTC have? • Can the matching supplemental funds be State, Federal, or funds from other Infrastructure Bond Programs? • What will be the Port’s role?

  15. State Local Partnership Program • $1 billion to benefit those counties that have enacted a transportation sales tax program such as ACTA and ACTIA Measure B Program, or have other local funds for transportation • Will require a dollar-for-dollar match of local funds • Known Deadlines – CTC will allocate these funds over 5 years

  16. State Local Partnership Program … Issues • Matching ratio may be too high for the State to have sufficient funds to fund this program. Dollar-for-dollar matching ratio may not work. • What will be the criteria for project selection and what type of projects are eligible – transit, local streets, highways? • Are projects with STIP or other State funds (TCRP) eligible? • Are projects with local funds other than sales tax Measure funds eligible? • Will funds be used for construction only? • Follow up legislation may be required

  17. State Local Partnership Program … Example Projects • All Projects in the Measure B Expenditure Plans • Other locally funded projects • Eligibility and priorities depends on guidelines and readiness • Fund Exchange? • Only submit certain projects?

  18. Recommendations • Approval of the Formation of a Working Group comprised of Board members from CMA, ACTIA, Port of Oakland, EDAB, BART, and AC Transit to solicit project needs and for advocacy • Approve a joint letter to the above agencies requesting their participation in the Working Group • Request that the respective Chairs of ACCMA and ACTIA to appoint 2 members from each Board to the Working Group

  19. Next Steps • Staff will coordinate with partner agencies (Caltrans, MTC, Port, etc.) on a list of candidate projects • Schedule a workshop with ACTAC in June to review candidate projects • Potential Board Actions in June: • Authorization to proceed with Project Study Reports for some candidate projects • Review of timeline for development of County project list • Adoption of action plan for outreach and engagement to other stakeholders (EDAB, Chambers, City Councils, Caltrans Director, Bay Area Legislative Delegation, etc.)
