| | | | | | | | | To: | Board of Directors | | From: | Michael Zeller, Director of Programming & Project Delivery | | Meeting Date: | May 22, 2019 | | Subject: | City of Carmel Regional Surface Transportation Program Fair Share Allocation |
| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | Regional Surface Transportation Program Fair Share Allocation:
- APPROVE the request by the City of Carmel to program $42,875.86 in Regional Surface Transportation Program fair share funds to the Ocean Avenue Repaving project; and
- APPROVE amending Exhibit A of the local funding agreement to include this project and funding.
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY: | | The Agency has distributed Regional Surface Transportation Program fair share funding by population to the local jurisdictions for a wide range of eligible transportation projects. Funding is available at the discretion of the local jurisdiction for their chosen projects, upon approval by the Transportation Agency Board. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | The Regional Surface Transportation Program was established by the State of California to utilize gas tax revenues on a wide variety of local transportation projects. The Transportation Agency receives these funds, which total approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million per year, and distributes them to the Cities and County in two methods: fair share and competitive share. The Transportation Agency distributes $1.2 million per year as the fair share component to the cities and County based on population. The City of Carmel has a sufficient balance in its RSTP fair share reserve to program $42,875 to the Ocean Avenue Repaving Project. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | The Transportation Agency is tasked with reviewing projects proposed for Regional Surface Transportation Program fair share monies and approving the funding if the project is deemed eligible under state law. Examples of the types of transportation projects that are eligible for funding include: local street and roadway rehabilitation, bicycle facilities, pedestrian facilities, public transit capital and signal coordination and other safety and operational improvements.
The City of Carmel is requesting that TAMC program $42,875 in Regional Surface Transportation Program fair share funds to the Ocean Avenue Repaving project. This project consists of the repaving of Ocean Avenue between Monte Verde Street and Junipero Avenue. In addition to removing and reparing the failed pavement, this project includes the installation of 26 ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps, curb and sidewalk repair, drainage upgrades, and the restoration of striping an dpavement markings. Staff confirms that this project is eligible for RSTP funding and recommends that the Board approve this request. |
