+8. DRAFT 2010 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM,

INCLUDING THE DRAFT AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY DETERMINATION (Sookyung Kim)

RECOMMEND

SANDAG, as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is required by state and

federal laws to develop and adopt a RTIP, a multiyear program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit, and nonmotorized projects, including the TransNet Early Action Program of projects. The 2010 RTIP covers Fiscal Years 2011 to 2015, and is due to the state by October 1, 2010. The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors: (1) accept for review and distribution the Draft 2010 Regional Transportation Improvement Program, including its air quality conformity analysis and the draft air quality conformity redetermination of the 2030 Revenue Constrained Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future for a 30-day public comment period; and (2) schedule a public hearing for the September 3, 2010, Transportation Committee meeting.

+9. 2050 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN: DRAFT UNCONSTRAINED

TRANSPORTATION NETWORK (Heather Werdick and Carolina Gregor) RECOMMEND

Defining the Unconstrained Transportation Network is an important step in developing

a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), because it establishes the broadest network from which funding scenarios will be identified. Once the Unconstrained Network is identified, staff will prioritize all of the future projects using the updated transportation project evaluation criteria approved by the Board of Directors. Based on input from SANDAG working groups and the public, Policy Advisory Committees, and the Board of Directors, staff has developed a draft Unconstrained Transportation Network. The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors accept the draft Unconstrained Transportation Network for use in the development of the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. The Board of Directors will be asked to accept the Unconstrained Transportation Network at its July 23, 2010, meeting.

+10. TIGER II DISCRETIONARY GRANT SUBMITTALS (Victoria Stackwick) APPROVE

The FY 2010 Appropriations Act included $600 million for a discretionary National

Infrastructure Investments program, which the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has dubbed “TIGER II Discretionary Grants.” The USDOT will award TIGER II grant funds on a competitive basis to projects that have a significant impact on the nation, a metropolitan area, or a region; final applications are due August 23, 2010. The Transportation Committee is asked to approve the list of proposed regional project submittals for the TIGER II Discretionary Grants program and authorize the Executive Director to provide support letters for other local agency projects that are consistent with SANDAG policies and programs.

+11. MID-COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT PROJECT - FINAL COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES REPORT (Leslie Blanda)

RECOMMEND

The Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report presents a summary of the

comments received during the scoping period for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR). The Final Report additionally presents responses to the scoping comments and a recommendation on a Locally Preferred Alternative, or alternatives, to carry forward for detailed analysis in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors reconfirm the previously adopted Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), as refined to include direct service to UCSD and University Towne Centre, by selecting Light Rail Transit (LRT) Alternative 1 (combines 1, 4, and 5) as the LPA. The Transportation Committee is further asked to recommend that the Board of Directors approve LRT Alternative 1 and the No-Build Alternative for evaluation in the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft SEIS/SEIR. The Transportation Committee also is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors approve the final Public Involvement Plan.

+12. TransNet ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION PROGRAM: FY 2010 LAND

MANAGEMENT GRANTS (Keith Greer) RECOMMEND

On September 25, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a process and criteria for

funding land management projects under the TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program. Of the 24 applications received, 10 have been recommended for funding by the technical panel that has reviewed the applications. The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors (1) approve the prioritized list of land management projects and funding allocations (Attachment 2), and (2) authorize the Executive Director to enter into agreements for the selected grants in the proposed allocations totaling $2.085 million under the fourth cycle of this grant program.

+13. 2010 TransNet PLAN OF FINANCE UPDATE (Kim Kawada) RECOMMEND

Staff will update the Transportation Committee on work to date on the Plan of

Finance, including updated program-level analysis of the current TransNet Early Action Program of projects and possible financial scenarios for consideration. The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors (1) approve the 2010 TransNet Plan of Finance update, which incorporates the proposed projects in the revised Robust scenario (Attachment 4); (2) authorize the Executive Director to amend the FY 2011 SANDAG Budget to incorporate the new capital projects; and (3) approve revision to the set-aside of federal and state discretionary funding for the TransNet Early Action Program from 94 percent to 90 percent. These actions will support the pending issuance of $300-$350 million in long-term fixed rate debt.

OVERVIEW OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND THE 2050 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN File Number 3100500 Introduction The White Paper, Overview of Climate Change Adaptation and the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), provides an overview of potential impacts to transportation infrastructure due to climate change and the potential role of adaptation strategies in the 2050 RTP. Issues and policy implications are identified as well as recommendations on next steps. Discussion This White Paper was developed primarily to assess the California Transportation Commission 2010 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Guidelines regarding best practices for addressing climate adaptation, to identify strategies included in the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy related to transportation infrastructure, and to evaluate adaptation efforts by transportation agencies across the country. To ensure that the most important areas of focus have been included in this White Paper, SANDAG staff solicited input from the Regional Planning Stakeholders Working Group at its February 16, 2010, meeting and from the Energy Working Group at its April 22, 2010, meeting. In addition, the Regional Planning Committee discussed this White Paper at its meeting on July 2, 2010. Comments received were incorporated in the White Paper (Attachment 1) as appropriate.

OVERVIEW OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND THE 2050 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN – WHITE PAPER

INTRODUCTION

Adaptation is defined by the California Natural Resources Agency as: Efforts that respond to the impacts of climate change – adjustments in natural or human systems to actual or expected climate changes to minimize harm or take advantage of beneficial opportunities.1 Mitigation is defined as actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mitigation alone will not prevent climate change from having serious impacts on the San Diego region. The current concentration of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere – without considering continued and accelerated pace of emissions – will continue to change the climate for the next 30 to 40 years.2 Adaptation to the changes that have already been set in motion is essential to maintain the region’s economy, ecosystems, and public health. The following discussion is an overview of potential impacts to transportation infrastructure due to climate change and the proposed climate change adaptation strategies to deal with these impacts for consideration in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This discussion includes efforts being made by federal, state, and local governments. While some strategies may not ultimately prove viable for the San Diego region, they are presented in this White Paper to provide decision-makers with a broad range of options for consideration. Also included are recommendations focused on the San Diego region that if implemented would require a more detailed study and analysis prior to implementation. Objectives for the 2050 RTP

The objectives of this White Paper for the 2050 RTP are threefold. They include:

1. Assessing the 2010 California RTP Guidelines regarding best practices for addressing climate adaptation in RTPs.

2. Identifying strategies included in the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy related to transportation Infrastructure.

3. Evaluating adaptation efforts by transportation agencies across the country.

Background

Climate change is happening now and its impacts are readily apparent, with temperatures increasing, Arctic sea ice disappearing, and sea levels rising beyond climate scientists’ worst-case estimates. Recently it was reported that January 2000 to December 2009 was the warmest decade on record.3 Recent atmospheric measurements of carbon dioxide and methane (two important

greenhouse gases) exceed the natural range over the last 650,000 years.4 The predicted rate of temperature change by 2050 as a result of these greenhouse gas levels is 10-50 times faster than the temperature changes that occurred when the ice ages receded.5 Most significantly, the results of greenhouse gases produced by the fossil fuel energy we burn to power our society are a major contributor to climate change. We are largely dependent on fossil fuels to generate electricity, drive our vehicles, transport goods, heat and cool our homes, produce and deliver food, convey and treat water, and provide power to our businesses and industries.6 The most significant climate impacts to California’s transportation infrastructure are predicted to be from higher temperatures and extreme weather events across the state, reduced and shifting precipitation patterns throughout California, and sea-level rise. The largest projected damages will come from sea-level rise threatening large portions of California’s coastal transportation, housing, and energy-related infrastructure.7 The San Diego region is not immune to these threats. Temperature extremes will impact the transportation sector. It is expected less extreme cold days will reduce road damage related to frost and other cold weather conditions, but extreme hot days (including prolonged periods of very hot days), are likely to become more frequent, increasing the risk of buckling of highways and railroad tracks and premature deterioration or failure of transportation.8 Based on scenarios that do not assume explicit climate policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, global average temperature is projected to rise by 2 to 11.5°F by the end of this century (relative to the 1980-1999 time period).9 By 2050, the San Diego region is expected to experience a rise in average annual temperatures between 1.5 and 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Greater increases will occur in summer, with peak temperatures consistently reaching the upper 80s and low 90s. Larger temperature increases are expected in inland areas as compared to the coastal zone (within 50 km). Though precipitation is expected to maintain the existing Mediterranean pattern with dry summers and most rainfall happening in the winter months, rainfall amounts will likely vary widely from year to year, leaving the region highly vulnerable to drought.10 The combination of a generally drier climate in the future, which will increase the chance of drought and wildfires, and the occasional extreme downpour, is likely to cause more mud- and landslides during winter months. Specifically, researchers and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) expect increased damage of transportation infrastructure such as coastal

and inland highways, railways, and associated business interruptions. The related debris impacts are historically well known to California, but if they become more frequent, they will create greater costs for the state and require more frequent repairs.11 The largest projected damages will come from sea-level rise up to 12-18 inches higher in San Diego.12 This threatens large portions of California’s coastal transportation, housing, and energy-related infrastructure.13 Sea-level rise Impacts on transportation infrastructure will include flooding of roads, railways, transit systems, and airport runways in coastal areas. A substantial amount of this ground transportation infrastructure is predicted to be at risk from sea-level rise by 2100, including 2,500 miles of roads and rails. Such infrastructure is vital to the state’s economy for both the movement of commercial freight and the ability of Californians to get to work and school. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the major airports of San Francisco and Oakland are near sea level and would require additional elevation, protection, or relocation to remain functional.14 Evidence of sea level rising is already apparent. After at least 2,000 years of little change, sea level rose by roughly 8 inches over the past century. Satellite data available over the past 15 years show sea level rising at a rate roughly double the rate observed over the past century.15 A report cited in the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy estimates that the cost of no action in California would be on the order of “tens of billions of dollars in direct costs” and would “expose trillions of dollars of assets to collateral risk.” The San Diego region also would likely have to bear its share of the cost climate change impacts will produce. State of the Planning Practice

In general, transportation agencies nationwide are not yet incorporating climate change adaptation measures into long-range planning. The large uncertainty in the location and magnitude of impacts makes agencies reluctant to take major action on adaptation, given the multitude of other pressing demands for Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and their funding limitations.16 As a result, agencies that are considering adaptation are typically focusing on building awareness of the issues and on research. However, there are recent examples summarized in this report where this focus is beginning to change and that more agencies are recognizing the value of taking action earlier.

Identification of Problems

The states’ transportation infrastructure faces potential risk from climate change impacts stemming from changes in temperature, sea-level rise and precipitation. To summarize the changing risks that California’s transportation infrastructure may be facing from climate change, the likelihood of occurrence of the projected consequences was qualitatively assessed. The economic cost associated with the required alteration, fortification, or relocation of existing infrastructure is likely to be in the tens of billions.17 The resulting risk profile for California’s transportation infrastructure can be characterized as follows: Temperature extremes can increase the risk of road and railroad tracks buckling, decreasing

transportation safety and creating higher maintenance costs. Winter storms, especially if coinciding with earlier snowmelt and high runoff, can cause

flooding and physical damage to culverts, canals, tunnels, coastal highways, runways, and railways, and associated business interruptions.

More drought, fires, and intense rainfall events will produce more mud- and landslides, which can disrupt major roadways and rail lines. These impacts will likely be felt in the San Diego region.

Sea-level rise is likely to cause the greatest impacts on California’s and on the San Diego region’s infrastructure, including more frequent storm-related flooding of airports, seaports, roads, and railways in floodplains due to higher sea levels.

As sea level rises at a faster pace and coastal storm surges increase, existing fortifications will be increasingly inadequate and need to be raised, and areas previously not at-risk will become at risk.

DISCUSSION

The following section focuses on efforts being made by federal, state, and local governments. Their different approaches to climate change adaptation provide insight and background to the policy and issues section in this paper. Potential Solutions and Alternatives Federal Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force18 In the Fall of 2009, in response to President Obama’s Executive Order 13514, the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) convened the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force to begin the development of federal recommendations for adapting to climate change impacts both domestically and internationally. More than twenty federal agencies, departments, and offices are participating in this Task Force and contributing their operational capabilities and expertise through

a series of workgroups, coordinated with USGCRP, on specific topics related to climate change adaptation.19 Goals of the interagency adaptation work include: • Forming recommendations toward a national adaptation strategy that uses a set of best

practices derived from the best available science and the experience and knowledge of governments and stakeholder groups across the United States and abroad.

• Integrating climate change resilience and adaptive capacity into federal government operations, and coordinating interagency preparations for climate change impacts with domestic and international activities.

• Broadening the understanding of vulnerability to climate impacts, equipping communities with information to use in local adaptation policies, and learning from communities who have taken steps to adapt.

The Task Force has found that there already is substantial U.S. government and non-government activity towards adapting and building resilience to climate change risks. Current activities include landscape conservation cooperatives supported by the Department of the Interior, to a comprehensive risk assessment of Gulf Coast transportation infrastructure by the Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to support local decision-makers through Climate Ready Estuaries. As required by Executive Order 13514, the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force will deliver a report to the President in the fall of 2010. The report will detail the development of domestic and international dimensions of a U.S. strategy for adaptation to climate change, agency actions in support of that strategy development process, and recommendations for any further measures to advance towards a national strategy. The Task Force will not, however, deliver a complete U.S. adaptation strategy to the President. Over the next several months, the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force may refine recommendations around structural issues such as improving and integrating science results in developing policy and a framework for federal agency adaptation, as well as cross-cutting topics, including water resources management and international adaptation. The Task Force also may establish additional workgroups, in cooperation with USGCRP, including those to inform the development of a national strategy in the areas of communications and capacity-building, coordination and collaboration across government and with partners, evaluation and learning, and other priority issues. Through a series of regional outreach meetings and pilot activities, the Task Force will continue moving towards recommendations on the development of a national strategy on climate change adaptation. In tandem with these efforts, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are in the beginning stages of engaging in climate change adaptation issues. FHWA’s approaches to climate change are being looked at as a Surface Transportation Safety and Operations issue. In this context, FHWA will be

engaging state and local agencies or projects that require FHWA preliminary engineering and NEPA reviews. In the area of outreach and education, FHWA has established peer exchanges, a Transportation & Climate Change Clearinghouse, and a FHWA Adaptation Working Group. It also is providing technical assistance in the areas of modeling, adaptation, and research.20 Also at the federal level, the USACE is working towards addressing climate change adaptation. In its circular published in July 2009, guidance is provided for incorporating the direct and indirect effects of projected future sea level change in managing, planning, engineering, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining USACE projects and systems of projects.21 State of California 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy (CAS) The changes necessary to protect the state’s transportation infrastructure will require collaboration between multiple state, regional, and local agencies. In an effort to begin protecting these assets, Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order (EO) S-13-08. This order provides direction on developing California’s first statewide adaptation effort. It requires the California Natural Resources Agency to develop the CAS as the state’s first comprehensive guide on climate adaptation. The CAS was developed with the input of numerous stakeholders including state agencies and seven climate adaptation working groups.22 Although the CAS focuses on state level efforts, climate change vulnerability assessment planning tools, policies, and strategies will be integrated at the local level (MPOs, RTPAs) in conjunction with Caltrans.23 The CAS states that impacts of climate change on infrastructure will vary at the local level, but it is certain they will be widespread and costly in human and economic terms, and will require significant changes in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of California’s infrastructure.24 The CAS has identified the following priorities in addressing climate adaptation for California state agencies. The near-term actions referenced below are those actions that have been identified and which can be initiated or completed by November 2011. The long-term actions include those recommended actions that will require support from California and collaboration with multiple state agencies.25

Strategy 5 – TRANSPORTATION: Develop a detailed climate vulnerability assessment and adaptation plan for California’s transportation infrastructure. Near-Term and Long-Term Actions: a. Vulnerability and Adaptation Planning – Business, Transportation and Housing Agency (BTH)

and Caltrans will develop a climate vulnerability plan that will assess how California’s transportation infrastructure facilities are vulnerable to future climate impacts, assess climate adaptation options, prioritize for implementation, and select adaptation strategies to adopt in coordination with stakeholders. This plan will be coordinated with an updated climate mitigation plan that will act as BTH’s and Caltrans’ overall transportation climate policy.

i. Develop a transportation use “hot-spot” map – Caltrans will research and identify

transportation “hot spots” to identify across the state where the mixture of climate change impacts, population increases, and transportation demand increases will make communities most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Caltrans will include in this analysis how the lowest-income communities in hot spot areas will be impacted.

b. Economic Impacts Assessment – Complete an overall economic assessment for projected

climate impacts on the state’s infrastructure under a ”do nothing” scenario and under climate policy scenarios identified by BTH/Caltrans.

i. Prepare a list of transportation adaptation strategies or measures based on the “hot

spot” map and prepare an economic assessment and cost-benefit analysis for these strategies vs. a do nothing scenario.

Strategy 6 – TRANSPORTATION: Incorporate climate change vulnerability assessment planning tools, policies, and strategies into existing transportation and investment decisions. Near-Term and Long-Term Actions: a. Integrate Mitigation and Adaptation System-wide – Caltrans will develop and incorporate

climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and strategies throughout state strategic, system and regional planning efforts. These will be included in key phases of the following planning and project development phases when appropriate:

i. Strategic Planning (Governor’s Strategic Growth Plan and California Transportation

Plan) ii. System Planning (i.e., District System Management Plan, Interregional Strategic Plan,

Corridor System Management Plan, and Transportation Concept Report) iii. Regional Transportation Planning (RTP Guidelines and Regional Blueprint Planning) iv. Project planning (Project Development Procedures Manual, Project Initiation Document,

Project Report, Environmental Guidelines) v. Programming (State Transportation Improvement Program, State Highway Operations

and Protection Program, California Transportation Commission State Transportation Improvement Program Guidelines)

8

Strategy 7 – TRANSPORTATION: Develop transportation design and engineering standards to minimize climate change risks to vulnerable transportation infrastructure. Near-Term and Long-Term Actions: a. Transportation infrastructure assessment - Caltrans will assess existing transportation design

standards as to their adequacy to withstand climate forces from sea-level rise and extreme weather events beyond those considered.

b. Buffer zone guidelines - Develop guidelines to establish buffer areas and set backs to avoid

risks to structures within projected “high” future sea-level rise or flooding inundation zones. c. Stormwater quality - Assess how climate changes could alter size and design requirements for

stormwater quality best management practices. Strategy 8 – TRANSPORTATION: Incorporate climate change impact considerations into disaster preparedness planning for all transportation modes. Near-Term and Long-Term Actions: a. Emergency Preparedness – Caltrans provides significant emergency preparedness abilities for

all transportation modes across the state. The transportation system is sensitive to rapid increases in precipitation, storm severity, wave run-up, and other extreme weather events. Caltrans will assess the type of climate-induced impact information necessary to respond to district emergencies. Results will be incorporated into existing operations management plans.

b. Decision Support (Near-Term) – Caltrans will identify how climate impact information can be

integrated into existing Intelligent Transportation Systems and Transportation Management Center operations.

2010 California Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines Subsequent to the passage of California Assembly Bill (AB) 32 (California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006), the California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted an addendum to the 2007 RTP Guidelines in May 2008 to address a request from the California Legislature to ensure climate change issues were incorporated in the RTP process. 26 On April 7, 2010, the CTC approved the 2010 RTP Guidelines which incorporate new planning requirements as a result of Senate Bill (SB) 375 and also incorporate the addendum to the 2007 RTP Guidelines. SANDAG staff has been participating in this update process. SB 375 requires MPOs to identify a forecasted development pattern and transportation network that will meet greenhouse gas emission reduction targets specified by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) through their RTP planning processes.27

In addition, the CTC references the transportation adaptation strategies contained in the 2009 CAS for guidance on addressing Climate Change Adaptation. The CTC also endorses the CAS’ position on the need for significant changes in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of California’s infrastructure. The changes necessary to protect the state’s transportation infrastructure will require collaboration between multiple state, regional and local agencies. Regional planning agencies should incorporate these practices in the implementation of transportation strategies in conjunction with Caltrans, to the extent that they are feasible.28 Best Practices The 2010 California Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines states that notwithstanding a lack of reliable information on the future impacts of sea-level rise, precipitation changes, or extreme heat events, MPOs and RTPAs should begin to address climate change in their long-range transportation plans. There are numerous ways planning agencies can begin preparing for climate change adaptation on the transportation infrastructure including preliminary mapping of infrastructure that is vulnerable to changes in precipitation, heat, and sea-level rise. It is also recommended that design and planning standards be re-evaluated to accommodate potential changes. It is important to ensure that planned infrastructure is engineered and built in locations that can withstand future climate change impacts. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) On December 30, 2009, the Resources Agency adopted an amendment to the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126.2 Consideration and Discussion of Significant Environmental Impacts now requires an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to evaluate the effects of climate change on the locating of a project in areas susceptible to hazardous conditions, e.g. floodplains, coastlines, wildfire risk areas as identified in authoritative hazard maps, risk assessments or in land use plans addressing such hazards areas. This Amendment became effective on March 18, 2010, and is now included in the California Code of Regulations.29 Other Agencies City of Chula Vista

In 2009, the City of Chula Vista began developing its Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (CCAS).30 The development of the CCAS also coincides with its participation in the International Conference on Climate Adaptation held in Seville, Spain in May 2009 and the resulting adaptation planning priorities (known as the “Seville Declaration”) agreed upon by various California and Spanish government entities. This cross continent exchange was held because of the similar climates the Andalusia region of Spain and Southern California share and potentially similar adaptation strategies they would likely need to implement. Participants of this event representing cities in California and Spain will continue an information exchange on climate adaptation best practices as both regions develop their adaptation strategies.

In addition, the City of Chula Vista established a Climate Change Working Group (CCWG), which is comprised of Chula Vista residents, businesses, and community group representatives to assist in developing climate adaptation strategies suitable for Chula Vista. The Climate Change Working Group will be asked to use the following guiding principles to evaluate and prioritize possible adaptation options:

1. Seek out the best available science to understand local climate change impacts and their relative risks;

2. Give priority to policies that can build on existing work rather than policies which require new sources of funding or staffing;

3. Ensure that the legitimate interests of all City stakeholders are considered in evaluating options;

4. Develop policies flexible enough for future incorporation of new science or improved modeling, but defined well enough for staff to implement;

5. Ensure that adaptation strategies complement climate protection measures already in place in Chula Vista;

6. Consider strategies to adapt to both short- and long-term impacts from climate change, but only in areas where the group decides there is enough evidence to support the work;

7. Prioritize strategies in accordance with the degree of risk that different climate impacts pose to Chula Vista, its residents, and businesses;

8. Recommend adaptation strategies that address the most immediate risk in the most financially feasible way (i.e., require the least General Fund support);

9. The strategies chosen should not cause a significant adverse economic and/or environmental impact to the community;

10. Reach consensus on a preferred list of final recommended adaptation strategies which best meets all City stakeholders’ needs.

Following these guiding principles and through a community-based process, the development of a local CCAS would be incorporated into the City’s current Climate Action Plan, for City Council review and consideration by the end of 2010. The CCAS would address the following sectors projected to be adversely affected by climate change:

• Water Management • Energy Management • Infrastructure & Resources • Public Health • Wildfires • Ecosystems & Biodiversity • Business & Economy

City of Solana Beach The City Council has recently formed a Council Ad-Hoc subcommittee on Environmental Sustainability to work closely with the Clean and Green committee and provide direction to City staff on developing a Climate Protection Plan. This Plan is currently being developed in consultation with ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives). It would eventually be presented to the City Council for its approval and adoption into the City of Solana Beach’s revised General Plan. San Francisco Bay Area The Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of San Francisco Bay and to the encouragement of the Bay's responsible use.31 The BCDC has taken a lead role in adaptation planning for the Bay Area. The BCDC will consider an amendment to the San Francisco Bay Plan, which regulates development within the 100-year floodplain of the Bay, to address climate change including adaptation strategies. The following are proposed amendments: 32 1. Proposed additions to Bay Plan findings and policies a. Create a climate change policy section of the Bay Plan that addresses the following:

(1) Updating sea-level rise scenarios and using them in the permitting process (2) Developing a long-term strategy to address sea-level rise and storm activity and

other Bay-related impacts of climate change in a way that protects the shoreline and the Bay; and

(3) Working with the Joint Policy Committee (JPC) and other agencies to integrate regional mitigation and adaptation strategies and adaptation responses of multiple government agencies, to analyze and support environmental justice issues, and to support research that provides useful climate change information and tools.

2. Proposed changes to existing Bay Plan findings and policies a. Amend findings and policies on public access to provide public access that is sited,

designed and managed to avoid significant adverse impacts from sea-level rise and ensure long-term maintenance of public access areas.

b. Amend findings and policies on tidal marshes and tidal flats to ensure that buffer zones

are incorporated into restoration projects where feasible and sediment issues related to sustaining tidal marshes are addressed.

c. Amend the policies on safety of fills by updating the findings and policies on sea-level rise and moving some to the new climate change section of the Bay Plan.

d. Amend the policies on protection of the shoreline to address protection from future

flooding. 3. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) included the following actions to combat

global warming and help clean Bay Area air in its Transportation 2035 Plan:33

• Commits $400 million to fund a multi-agency Transportation Climate Action Campaign to reduce our carbon footprint, complementing MTC’s Transportation for Livable Communities Program, Regional Bicycle Program, Regional Rideshare Program, and other Transportation 2035 bicycle and pedestrian investments.

King County, Washington King County Climate Plan proposes to protect the integrity and safe operation of regional transportation infrastructure from climate change impacts.34 King County Road Services Division will incorporate climate change impacts information into construction, operations, and maintenance of infrastructure projects. Actions already underway by King County Road Services Division include: • Evaluation of higher flows on bridge and culvert design as well as seawall modifications; • Participation in King County’s interdepartmental climate change adaptation team; and • Initiation of educational efforts to facilitate the sharing of information among staff on the

projected impacts of climate change. In the near term, King County Road Services Division will incorporate climate change into its own planning and design documents, and comments on others’ planning and design documents, as they come up for revision. King County Road Services Division also plans to identify and expand policies and plans that adjust transportation infrastructure improvements and maintenance to ongoing and anticipated climate and weather changes. Additionally, the division is looking at ways to incorporate climate changes predicted in the future into current transportation project designs. For example, the Road Services Division is currently rebuilding over 57 bridges and 40 culverts that will need to be designed to improve streamflows and endure the most significant impacts of climate change. In the long-term, some strategies that are being considered by Road Services Division include: • Replacing or rehabilitating bridges in order to improve floodwaters conveyance and to avoid

scour during high flows; • Using pervious pavement and other low impact development methodologies to manage

stormwater through reduced runoff and onsite flow control; • Modifying existing seawalls to avoid failures in transportation facilities. 33 Transportation 2035 Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report.

Issues and Policy Implications

One of the goals identified in the SANDAG 2010 Climate Action Strategy is to protect transportation infrastructure from climate change (Goal 4). This Strategy acknowledges that in addition to being the number one source of climate change emissions in our region, the transportation sector is threatened by the impacts of climate change. Adapting transportation infrastructure to prepare for climate change is emerging as a new concern for designing future projects as well as maintaining our current system. As such, the tools and methodologies for evaluating and adapting to impacts are still in the early stages of development. The Strategy outlines the following objectives and potential policy measures:35 Objective 4a. Protect transportation infrastructure from damage due to extreme heat Policy Measures • Direct research at developing materials for transportation infrastructure that is better suited

to withstand high temperatures. • Accelerate inspections schedules and prepare for increased maintenance and costs. • Utilize adaptive management and monitoring to determine which, if any, adaptive strategies

should be incorporated in transportation planning. • Address adaptation issues in the design of new projects and when improvements are made to

existing infrastructure. Objective 4b. Protect transportation infrastructure from sea-level rise and associated higher storm surges Policy Measures • Develop a climate vulnerability plan that will identify areas in San Diego at high risk of

damage from sea-level rise and storm surges. • Modify standards for project design and construction to account for increased potential storm

surge elevations and frequency. • Engage a multi-disciplinary team of climate change and coastal experts along with hydraulics

and bridge design specialists during scoping process of coastal bridge projects. • Utilize adaptive management and monitoring to determine which, if any, adaptive strategies

should be incorporated in transportation planning. • Address adaptation issues in the design of new projects and when improvements are made to

existing infrastructure.

Objective 4c. Protect transportation infrastructure from wildfire-associated mudslides Policy Measures • Improve bank stabilization and erosion control measures near important transportation lines

after wildfire. • Address adaptation issues in the design of new projects and when improvements are made to

existing infrastructure. A main issue of concern is the lack of quantitative data on vulnerability available to begin to make concrete policy decisions and conduct economic impact assessments. The 2050 RTP is likely to produce a qualitative assessment of potential risks and preliminary evaluation of climate change adaptation strategies. At the project level, environmental clearance documents would conduct further evaluation related to climate change. Currently, DOTs and their partner agencies are evolving toward "risk management" approaches to asset management and investment programs. In a limited resource environment, a process that seeks to understand and manage the risks to the transportation system from climate change, rather than continuing with a "worst first" approach, is key to ensuring the most critical infrastructure continues to function adequately. Facilitation of cross-disciplinary collaboration (e.g., Design and Planning) within Caltrans and between local agencies is recommended. 36 RECOMMENDATIONS

1. SANDAG staff will continue to monitor the implementation of strategies in the CAS and evaluate which ones should be incorporated into the 2050 RTP.

2. The 2010 California RTP Guidelines suggest several ways to begin to address climate change adaptation issues. Following these Guidelines, SANDAG will evaluate the feasibility of developing preliminary mapping of infrastructure that is vulnerable to changes in precipitation, heat, and sea level rise in preparation for climate change adaptation on the transportation infrastructure.37

3. Staff will monitor the implementation of Executive Order S-13-08 which states that the California Resources Agency, in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), California Energy Commission (CEC), California's coastal management agencies, and the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC), shall request that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) convene an independent panel to complete the first California Sea-level Rise Assessment Report. This report will guide state agencies that are planning construction projects in areas vulnerable to future sea-level rise shall, for the purposes of planning, consider a range of sea-level rise scenarios for the years 2050 and 2100 in order to

assess project vulnerability and, to the extent feasible, reduce expected risks and increase resiliency to sea-level rise. This report would be completed by March 2011.

4. The SANDAG 2010 Climate Action Strategy acknowledges that climate changes and their associated impacts vary greatly from location to location. Although national and international action is essential, many important decisions about how best to manage systems affected by climate change are made at the local and regional levels. The Strategy recommends that regional and local planning should reinforce and complement the recommendations given at the state and federal levels.38 Therefore, climate change adaptation recommendations from state and federal agencies will continue to be monitored and evaluated.

5. Staff will evaluate crossborder climate change adaptation strategies.

For Future Analysis

1. To develop an adaptation strategy tailored to the San Diego region, SANDAG would seek funding at the state or federal level to partner with other regional agencies to conduct a vulnerability analysis. However, before conducting this analysis, the NAS California Sea-level Rise Assessment Report and any similar research would be analyzed to assess whether additional vulnerability analysis would be necessary for the San Diego region. Understanding vulnerability to the extent feasible within the limitations of available science and resources is critical to developing adaptation strategies. This analysis would include the latest projections on sea-level rise scenarios and identify existing and planned vulnerable transportation infrastructure. Adaptation strategies could be individually tailored to each of these.

In this context, vulnerability occurs over a long timeframe and affects people differently in

the near-term and the long-term. Therefore, both short-term and long-term adaptation strategies should be identified. In the long-term, a variety of adaptation strategies involving many potential partners will be needed to deal effectively with sea-level rise in San Diego.

2. As Caltrans and BTH advance on the implementation of transportation strategies identified in

the 2009 California Climate Adaptation Strategy, evaluate data and findings that could be applicable to future RTP updates and infrastructure projects.

3. In order to avoid duplicating research efforts, existing and planned research will be assessed

for its applicability to better understand the impact of changes in sea level in other areas of strategic and economic importance, such as San Diego Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego International Airport, and the Port of San Diego. This analysis should provide the basis for further analysis of coastline vulnerabilities and the development of risk management strategies involving the public and private sectors. This analysis should also be conducted in the context that sea-level rise is expected to accelerate in decades following 2050.39

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 4

Action Requested: APPROVE

File Number 3320100 Introduction The California Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99238 requires that a Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) be created and maintained in each county to provide advice on social service transportation issues. The SSTAC for San Diego County was created in 2006. SANDAG also had a Transit Accessibility Advisory Committee (TAAC) that provided advice on physical accessibility issues for new transit equipment and construction projects. In order to reduce potential for overlap and the number of advisory committees, TAAC was merged into SSTAC in 2008.

SOCIAL SERVICES TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP AND CHARTER AMENDMENT

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to approve (1) The reappointment of four members to the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) for additional three-year terms; (2) The appointment of five new alternate citizen members; and (3) The restructuring of SSTAC membership and amendment of the SSTAC Charter.

When the two committees were merged, a new combined membership roster was created. The PUC requires one-third of the members of SSTAC to be appointed each year. On May 17, 2010, the SSTAC accepted a proposed amendment to its charter, which includes conditions for attendance and voting to better facilitate member participation at the meetings. This report recommends restructuring the membership structure of SSTAC, reappointing four out of the six members whose term expires this year for an additional three-year term, appointing five new citizen members to act as alternates, and approving the proposed amendment to the SSTAC Charter. Discussion Committee Restructuring Based on PUC requirements, the initial appointments to the new SSTAC were set up such that one-third of the members were appointed for a one-year term, one-third for a two-year term, and one-third for a three-year term. After these initial appointments, the term for reappointed members is three years.

Staff proposes splitting the citizen member category into two subcategories:

1. Two of the citizen members would be aligned to the membership requirements called for in the PUC that one member represent the interests of potential transit users who are 60 years of age or older, and that one member represent the interests of potential transit users who are disabled.

2. The remaining three citizen members would be designated as at-large voting members.

This proposed membership structure would satisfy the different roles being fulfilled by this committee by ensuring conformance with the PUC and achieving a diverse membership that will provide valuable insight into transportation issues and ensure a high-level knowledge of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title 24 requirements. Alternate members would also be appointed for each of the five citizen members. Committee Appointments Of the 18 members that are currently appointed to SSTAC, six members’ terms will expire on August 1, 2010. SANDAG staff recommends the reappointment of four of the six SSTAC members whose terms are expiring. These members have exhibited a continued interest in promoting social service transportation, advocating for improving the accessibility of the transit system, and a commitment to attending regular meetings. The remaining two members whose terms are expiring are not recommended for reappointment due to their poor attendance records.

To fill the remaining vacancies, SANDAG issued a notice asking for interested individuals to submit a letter of consideration. This was accomplished through an announcement at a Transportation Committee Meeting, an e-mail sent to all subscribers of the Social Services Transportation listserve, and posting on the SANDAG Web page. On July 1, 2010, SANDAG staff met with the SSTAC Chairman to review the submissions. Six submissions were received, of which five are recommended to be included as alternate members based on qualifications and the current membership needs of the committee. The alternate members match the qualifications of the citizen members; however, they may only vote in the absence of a regular citizen member. The alternate members will provide an experienced pool to draw from as we need to fill openings from the citizen positions in the future.

The following tables show the recommended reappointments, new appointments, and those not recommended for reappointments: Recommended Reappointments

This amendment includes changes consistent with the new proposed membership structure, and additional changes that will allow the Chairperson to declare a position as vacant in circumstances of poor attendance. This will encourage improved attendance and also facilitate better member participation.

PURPOSE

The mission of the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) is to review, recommend and encourage the use of accessible transportation services through:

• Promoting the coordination of transportation serving seniors, individuals with disabilities, and persons of limited means;

• Advising staff on transit facilities compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and Title 24; and

• Advising staff on the accessibility and usability of transit facilities beyond strict interpretation of regulations based on actual experience and knowledge.

LINE OF REPORTING

The Social Services Transportation Advisory Council Subcommittee is the successor group to the Subcommittee on Accessible Transportation (SCAT) that was formed by SANDAG in 1979 in response to federal and state requirements and increased local interest and involvement in accessibility issues. SSTAC advises SANDAG on regional planning issues regarding accessible transportation in the public and nonprofit sectors. SSTAC reports to the SANDAG Transportation Committee, which in turn reports to the SANDAG Board of Directors.

RESPONSIBILITIES

SSTAC advises the SANDAG Board of Directors and its Transportation Committee regarding regional issues of accessible transportation provided by the public and private sector. These activities include the following:

• Provide input on accessible transportation issues for SANDAG's Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), and other relevant SANDAG plans and programs;

• Provide input for the key activities required for the development of the Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan). This includes assistance with the following activities: assessing current available services; identifying areas of duplicative service and gaps in service; identifying the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, senior citizens, and persons of limited means; developing strategies for addressing the service gaps, and minimizing the duplication of services; prioritizing transportation services for funding and implementation based on resources, time, and feasibility for implementing the specific strategies identified; and reviewing the draft document for content and language;

• Serve as the Local Review Committee (LRC) and Appeals Board for the Section 5310 federal grant program administered by the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which provides

ALTERNATES Each of the first two citizen members shall be appointed an alternate. For the subcategory of at-large citizen members, up to three alternates shall be appointed. Agency members may appoint their own voting members to represent their agency on the council, and may also appoint alternates to fill that role when the primary voting is unable to attend the meeting. VOTING

The four at-large voting citizen members shall be drawn from a pool of senior and disabled transit users who are well versed in the ADA and Title 24 regulations. The following sequence shall determine which members of the pool will be voting members and which will act as alternates. Initially the sequence will be based on alphabetical order by first name, and subsequently will rotate every six months with the last person on the list moving to the head of the list.

ATTENDANCE AND VOTING In the circumstance of an absence of a voting citizen member, the Chairperson will choose an alternate to participate as a voting member based on attendance record or the current needs of SSTAC. Any voting or alternate (non-voting) at-large citizen member absent for three (3) consecutive meetings without having such absences excused by the Chairperson in advance of the meetings shall have their membership revoked. The Chairperson may assignwill choose an alternate with the most frequent attendance relative to the current needs of SSTAC to complete the remainder of the revoked member’s term. If the Chairperson does not assign an alternate, then the first citizen member alternate in alphabetical order by first name shall be the replacement to complete the remainder of the revoked member’s term. A voting at-large citizen member whose membership is revoked for non-attendance may be reinstated instead as an alternate at-large citizen member upon a majority vote of the council. If an agency representative of a social service provider is absent for three (3) consecutive meetings without having such absences excused by the Chairperson in advance of the meetings, the position shall

7

7 Revision 1: 8/1/08 Revision 2: 5/17/10

be declared vacant. The Chairperson may then assign an agency within the same category of social service providers to complete the remainder of the term. MEETING TIME AND LOCATION

Meetings are usually held on the third Monday of every other month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in a location that is accessible by public transit and in facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities. . Meetings are usually held in San Diego, either at the Caltrans District 11 Office or at SANDAG but may be held in other locations within San Diego County, depending on the agenda and availability of meeting space. Additional meetings or time and date adjustments may be made by the Chairperson when necessary. ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING

SSTAC shall hold a minimum of one public hearing for the purposes of receiving public comment on public transit services from the transit dependent, elderly and persons of limited means. The hearing(s) shall be scheduled to ensure broad community participation and should be rotated among the various communities within San Diego County. UNMET NEEDS PUBLIC HEARING

The Transportation Development Act (TDA) of the State of California requires the SSTAC to hold Public Hearings in any year if any TDA funds for that year are not fully expended on public transit. The purpose of the hearings is to provide an opportunity for the public to identify potential transit needs that are not being met and are reasonable to be met with the unspent TDA funds. If there are TDA funds that are not expended for public transit in San Diego County the SSTAC shall hold a minimum of one public hearing for the purposes of receiving public comment on unmet transit needs from the transit dependent seniors and persons of limited means. The hearing(s) shall be scheduled to ensure broad community participation and should be rotated among the various communities within San Diego County. SELECTION OF THE CHAIR

A Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, or Co-Chairpersons, are nominated and elected annually by the membership to serve one-year terms. The Chairperson conducts meetings.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 5

Action Requested: RECOMMEND

2008 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: File Number 1500300 AMENDMENT NO. 23 AND AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY ANALYSIS

Introduction

SANDAG, as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is responsible for the adoption of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The 2008 RTIP must conform to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality. Conformity to the SIP means that transportation activities in the 2008 RTIP will not create new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay the attainment of the national ambient air quality standards. The SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP including the regional emissions analysis at its meeting on July 25, 2008. The 2009 Federal State Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP), which includes the SANDAG 2008 RTIP, received federal approval on November 17, 2008.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 2011-02 (Attachment 1), including Amendment No. 23 to the 2008 RTIP as well as a finding of conformity and the redetermination of the 2030 RTP.

SANDAG has received a request from the City of San Marcos to add one new capacity-increasing project to the 2008 RTIP in order to advertise the project for construction this summer. The addition of this new capacity-increasing project to the RTIP requires a new regional emissions analysis. SANDAG has updated the regional emissions analysis that incorporates this new project, and a draft report was presented to the Conformity Working Group at its May 5, 2010, meeting. The draft 2008 RTIP including the draft Air Quality Conformity was distributed for a 30-day review and public comment on June 9, 2010. To date, no comments have been received in regard to the updated air quality emissions analysis or to the new project.

Discussion

The 2008 RTIP is the multiyear program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit, and bikeway projects in the San Diego region covering the period FY 2009 to FY 2013. SANDAG processes amendments to the RTIP generally on a quarterly basis and occasionally on a more frequent basis as circumstances arise. Amendment No. 23 represents a special amendment to add one new capacity-increasing project and conduct a new Air Quality Emissions Analysis incorporating the new project. Attachment 2 updates the relevant sections for the 2008 RTIP related to Amendment No. 23. Below summarizes the change proposed in this amendment, with additional details included in Chapter 2 of Attachment 2.

2

San Marcos

• Eastbound State Route 78 (SR 78) Auxiliary Lanes (SM44): This amendment proposes to add a new project which will construct two auxiliary lanes along eastbound SR 78 between Woodland Parkway and Nordahl Interchanges in the city of San Marcos. Total project is $14,500,000.

Fiscal Constraint Analysis

Federal regulations require the 2008 RTIP to be a revenue-constrained document with programmed projects based upon available or committed funding and/or reasonable estimates of future funding. Chapter 2 of Attachment 2 provides updated program summaries including a comparison from the prior approved amendment. Based upon the analysis, the projects contained within the 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 23, are reasonable when considering available funding sources.

Air Quality Analysis

On July 25, 2008, SANDAG found the 2008 RTIP in conformance with the Regional Air Quality Strategy/State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the San Diego region in accordance with the provisions of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 51 and 93. All of the required regionally significant capacity-increasing projects were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the 2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP) and the

2008 RTIP. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the FTA jointly approved the conformity determination for the 2008 RTIP and the conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP on November 17, 2008. SANDAG updated the air quality conformity analysis as part of Amendment No. 16 to the 2008 RTIP (SANDAG approval on January 22, 2010; FHWA/FTA approval on February 19, 2010). This amendment again updates the conformity analysis.

The project in RTIP Amendment No. 23 meets the conformity provisions of the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.122(g)). An additional Air Quality analysis was conducted for the SM44 capacity-increasing project in Amendment No. 23 through a quantitative emissions analysis included in Chapter 3 of Attachment 2. SANDAG followed interagency consultation procedures. Amendment No. 23 does not interfere with the timely implementation of Transportation Control Measures. The 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 23, remains in conformance with the SIP.

Chapter 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

OVERVIEW

The 2008 Regional/Federal Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a multi-billion dollar, five-year program of major highway, transit arterial, and nonmotorized projects funded by federal, state, TransNet local sales tax, and other local and private funding covering the years FY 2008/09 to FY 2012/13. The 2008 RTIP, which includes the air quality emissions analysis for all regionally significant projects, requires approval by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

The 2008 RTIP is a prioritized program designed to implement the region’s overall strategy for providing mobility and improving the efficiency and safety of the transportation system, while reducing transportation related air pollution in support of efforts to attain federal and state air quality standards for the region. The 2008 RTIP also incrementally implements the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), the long-range transportation plan for the San Diego region.

Amendment No. 23 to the 2008 RTIP adds one new capacity increasing project. The 2008 RTIP document, published in July 2008, fully documents the RTIP development process, project listings, financial capacity analysis, and the air quality conformity analysis. This report focuses on updated fiscal capacity analysis and new regional air quality emissions analysis for conformity purposes. The Final 2008 RTIP document as well as all subsequent amendments is available on the SANDAG Web site.

Consistency with the 2030 RTP

On December 10, 2007, FHWA and FTA issued a finding that the SANDAG 2030 revenue constrained RTP entitled, San Diego 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP), was in conformance with federal air quality and planning regulations. On January 22, 2010, the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 16 and its conformity finding including the redetermination of the 2030 RTP. The U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for the amendment on February 19, 2010. The 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 23, remains consistent with the 2030 RTP. As a financially-constrained document, the 2008 RTIP contains only those major transportation projects listed in the revenue-constrained plan of the 2030 RTP.

Financial Capacity Analysis

Federal regulations require the 2008 RTIP to be a revenue-constrained document with programmed projects based upon available or committed funding and/or reasonable estimates of future funding. Funding assumptions are generally based upon: (1) authorized or appropriated levels of federal and state fundingfrom current legislation; (2) conservative projections of future federal and state funding based upon a

continuation of current funding levels; (3) the most current revenue forecasts for the TransNet program; and (4) the planning and programming documents of the local transportation providers.

Chapter 4 of the Final 2008 RTIP discusses in detail the financial capacity analysis of major program areas including discussion of available revenues. Table 1-2 includes the project proposed for Amendment No. 23. Tables 2-1a to 2-1c of Chapter 2 demonstrate that the 2008 RTIP is fiscally constrained. Based upon this analysis, the projects contained within the 2008 RTIP, including the project in Amendment No. 23, are reasonable when considering available funding sources.

Air Quality Conformity Determination

Federal metropolitan planning and air quality regulations prescribe the process for determining air quality conformity. These regulations require that the proposed RTIP: (1) provide for the timely implementation of transportation control measures (TCMs); (2) include a quantitative emissions analysis of projects programmed in the RTIP, including all regionally significant projects; and (3) be within the region’s emissions budgets (targets) included in the approved State Implementation Plan (SIP).

The 2008 RTIP programs substantial funds for the implementation of the four TCMs (identified as “T-tactics”) adopted in the 1982 Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS)/1982 SIP for air quality improvement. As shown in Table 1-1, the TCMs/T-tactic projects programmed for implementation total approximately $3.1 billion, or approximately 31 percent of the total funds programmed. Included are $23.9 million for Ridesharing, $2.9 billion for Transit Improvements, $108.6 million for Bicycle Facilities and Programs, and $121.6 million for Traffic Flow Improvements. Based upon this analysis, the 2008 RTIP including Amendment No. 23 provides for the expeditious implementation of the four existing TCMs in the 1982 Revised RAQS, which remain the federally approved TCMs for the San Diego region.

Quantitative air quality emissions analyses were conducted for the years 2008, 2010, 2020, and 2030 revenue constrained transportation scenarios, as shown in Chapter 3. A draft report that discusses the results of this analysis, including Amendment No. 23, was reviewed by the San Diego Region Conformity Working Group (CWG) at its meeting on May 5, 2010 and is scheduled to be released for public comment on June 9, 2010. The 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 meets the conditions for determining conformity with the applicable SIP for air quality. A detailed description of the regional emissions analysis and modeling procedures conducted for the 2008 RTIP is included in Appendix C of the Final 2008 RTIP. Chapter 3 of this report summarizes the air quality conformity analysis for Amendment No. 23.

Public Participation

It is the policy of SANDAG to encourage public participation in the development of agency planning and programming activities. SANDAG has various working groups made up of stakeholders and other members of the public. The public is provided opportunities to participate through comment at SANDAG Board and committee meetings, SANDAG public notices of document availability and public hearings, and through the SANDAG public communications program. Pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 134(i), the draft RTIP was released for public review and comment for a minimum of 30 days and a public hearing was held on July 18, 2008. Appendix B contains the portion of the Public Participation Policy, which refers to the RTIP process of public involvement. The Policy, in its entirety, can be found on the SANDAG website at www.sandag.org.

Examples of public outreach efforts and ongoing participation include:

4

Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC): In conformance with 2004 TransNet measure, a citizen advisory committee, the ITOC, oversees projects funded through the TransNet program. As the document through which SANDAG identifies TransNet projects, the RTIP is reviewed by the ITOC, and their comments on the TransNet Program of Projects are conveyed to the SANDAG Transportation Committee, and ultimately, to the Board of Directors.

Tribes: In addition to sending out notices to local tribal governments regarding the development of the RTIP, SANDAG actively solicited participation from the 17 tribal governments, along with the Reservation Transportation Authority in San Diego County. SANDAG hosted a tribal forum made up of elected officials from each of the tribes. SANDAG also held a workshop specifically to seek involvement in the regional planning and programming processes.

Public Workshops: SANDAG provided information for the 2008 RTIP and sought comments during a special workshop developed for the 2030 San Diego RTP: Pathways for the Future. Five workshops were held in various parts of the county. The outreach effort for the RTP included an extensive public involvement program and was conducted as part of the RTP update process. The goal of the program was to secure participation from a broad range of groups and individuals in the RTP development and decision-making process. Activities included a community-based outreach program, updates through the rEgion electronic newsletter, public speaking engagements, among other efforts.

Expansion of Electronic Notifications: In addition to the current list of external industry professionals, SANDAG continually strives to expand the notifications to other citizen-involved working groups.

Appendix A in the 2008 RTIP describes the SANDAG public participation process and includes a copy of the latest the Public Participation Policy which contains the section specifically addressing the RTIP development and amendment process.

At its meeting on December 18, 2009, the SANDAG Board of Directors adopted an updated Public Participation Plan (PPP). The updated PPP reflects the SANDAG commitment to public participation and involvement to include all residents and stakeholders in the regional planning and decision-making process. The development of the PPP was a six-month collaborative process from June to December 2009 that included development, input, and feedback from the SANDAG Policy Advisory Committees, Regional Planning Stakeholders Working Group, community and business groups, residents, and other stakeholders.

The PPP was developed in accordance with guidelines established by Federal Highway Administration for metropolitan transportation planning (23 CFR 450.316). It addresses Title VI, related nondiscrimination requirements, and reflects the principles of social equity and environmental justice. Included in the PPP are procedures, strategies, and outcomes associated with the ten requirements listed in 23 CFR 450.316. The PPP also fulfills various state and federal public involvement requirements.

FINANCIAL CAPACITY ANALYSIS

Chapter 2

FINANCIAL CAPACITY ANALYSIS

This chapter provides an update to the analysis of the financial capacity of the region's programmed transportation projects. Financial capacity is measured by a comparison of the total cost of the proposed projects against the available revenues and a test of the reasonableness of the revenue assumptions.

Overview of the program and available revenues by funding sources is provided for all projects included in Chapter 4 of the Final 2008 RTIP. The assumptions used in the forecasts of available funding are based upon information in the Final 2008 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) adopted by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) in November 2007, forecasts provided by the California Department of Transportation, and other forecasts of ongoing transportation funding programs. For the local transportation sales tax program (TransNet), the forecast was updated which takes into account the recent economic trend.

PROGRAM AND REVENUES

Table 2-1a summarizes the revenues available by major funding source (i.e., federal, state, and local), Table 2-1b summaries the program using the revenues, and Table 2-1c provides the remaining revenues available for additional programming. Tables 2-1a to 2-1c include all costs and revenues for all projects in the 2008 RTIP including Amendment No. 23.

Note: the fiscal constraint analysis is through Amendment No. 24, which was approved by the state on April 20, 2010 as an administrative amendment to the 2008 RTIP.

AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY ANALYSIS

Chapter 3

DRAFT AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY ANALYSIS

On April 15, 2004, the EPA designated the San Diego air basin as nonattainment for the new Eight-Hour Ozone Standard. This designation took effect on June 15, 2004. Several areas that are tribal lands in eastern San Diego County were excluded from the nonattainment designation. The air basin was initially classified as a basic nonattainment area under Subpart 1 of the Clean Air Act and the maximum statutory attainment date for the Eight-Hour Ozone Standard was set as June 15, 2009. However, EPA in response to a court decision, on January 16, 2009, proposed that, among other areas of the country, the San Diego basic nonattainment area be reclassified as a Subpart 2 moderate nonattainment area, with a maximum statutory attainment date of June 15, 2010. Final EPA action on this proposed reclassification is still pending.

In cooperation with the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and SANDAG, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) developed an Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan which was submitted to the U.S. EPA on June 15, 2007. The budgets in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008.

The SANDAG Board of Directors made a finding of conformity of the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP) and 2006 RTIP, as amended, on November 30, 2007. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued its conformity finding on December 10, 2007. On July 25, 2008, a conformity determination for the 2008 RTIP and conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP was made by the SANDAG Board of Directors. The U.S. DOT issued its conformity finding on November 17, 2008. On January 22, 2010, the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 16 and its conformity finding. The U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for the amendment on February 19, 2010.

Also, the U.S. EPA designated the San Diego region as a federal maintenance area for the Carbon Monoxide (CO) standard. On January 30, 2006, the U.S. EPA approved the 2004 Revision to the California State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide or CO Maintenance Plan as a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision.

DEMONSTRATION OF FISCAL CONSTRAINT

The 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 23, is consistent with the 2030 RTP. As a financially constrained document, the 2008 RTIP contains only those major transportation projects listed in the revenue-constrained 2030 RTP. Chapter 4 of the 2008 RTIP includes detailed discussion on fiscal constraint and overall financial capacity to carry out projects included in the RTIP.

DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURES

In 1982, SANDAG adopted four Transportation Tactics as elements of the 1982 Revised Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS). These Transportation Tactics are ridesharing, transit improvements, traffic flow improvements, and bicycle facilities and programs.

These four Transportation Tactics were subsequently approved by the San Diego Air Pollution Control Board (APCB) and are included in the 1982 SIP for Air Quality as Transportation Control Measures (TCMs). The U.S. EPA approved this State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for the San Diego Air Basin in 1983. However, the four TCMs have been fully implemented.

The California Clean Air Act required the preparation of a 1991 RAQS, including TCMs. During 1991 and 1992, SANDAG, in cooperation with local agencies, transit agencies, and the APCD developed a TCM Plan. SANDAG approved the TCM Plan on March 27, 1992.

On June 30, 1992, the APCD amended the TCM Plan and adopted the 1991 RAQS, including the amended TCM Plan. TCMs included in the 1991 RAQS include the four Transportation Tactics described above, as well as a transportation demand management (TDM) program, vanpools, high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes, and park and ride facilities. On November 12, 1992, the Air Resources Board (ARB) gave approval to the 1991 RAQS, including the TCMs.

The 1995 Triennial RAQS Update subsequently deleted the Employee Commute Travel Reduction Program contained in the TDM program because the program was no longer required under federal law. Assembly Bill 3048 (Statutes of 1996, Chapter 777) eliminated all state requirements for mandatory trip reduction programs. As a result, the Student Travel Reduction Program, the Non-Commute Travel Reduction Program, and the Goods Movement/Truck Operation Program proposed in the 1991 RAQS were no longer statutorily mandated and were deleted from the RAQS in 1998. The 2001, 2004, and 2009 Triennial RAQS Revisions did not make changes to measures related to mobile sources or the TCM Plan.

AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY REQUIREMENTS

SANDAG, as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and the U.S. DOT must make a determination that the 2008 RTIP, as amended, and the 2030 RTP conform to the applicable SIP. Conformity to the SIP means that transportation activities will not create new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay the attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

Based upon the U.S. EPA’s Transportation Conformity Rule, as amended, conformity of transportation plans and programs, including the 2008 RTIP, as amended, is determined according to the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) [Section 176(c)(3)(A)] if the following is demonstrated:

• The 2008 RTIP as amended provides for the timely implementation of the Transportation Tactics contained in the 1991 RAQS. These tactics are also included as TCMs in the 1982 SIP, but have been fully implemented.

• A quantitative analysis is conducted on the cumulative emissions of projects programmed within the 2008 RTIP as amended, including all regionally significant, capacity-increasing projects. Further, implementation of the projects and programs must meet the motor vehicle emissions budget developed by local and state air quality agencies and approved by the U.S. EPA. The 2008 RTIP as

15

amended must meet the applicable emission budgets prescribed in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County, which were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008. Also, the 2008 RTIP as amended must meet the CO emissions budget established in the CO Maintenance Plan (approved by the U.S. EPA in January 2006).

• In addition to the required emissions tests, consultation with transportation and air quality agencies is required. The consultation process followed to prepare the air quality conformity analysis complies with the San Diego Transportation Conformity Procedures adopted in July 1998.

• Interagency consultation involves SANDAG, the SDAPCD, Caltrans, ARB, the U.S. DOT, and the U.S. EPA, which form the San Diego Region Conformity Working Group (CWG).

Consultation is a three-tier process that:

1. formulates and reviews drafts through a conformity working group;

2. provides local agencies and the public with opportunities for input through existing regional advisory committees and workshops; and

3. seeks comments from affected federal and state agencies through participation in the development of draft documents and circulation of supporting materials prior to formal adoption.

SANDAG consulted with the CWG for the preparation of the new air quality analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended. Conformity of the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future also is being re-determined for consistency purposes.

The schedule for the development of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and criteria and procedures for determining conformity were presented to the CWG on April 7, 2010. The capacity increasing project was provided to the CWG on April 29, 2010.

The quantitative emissions analyses for the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and 2030 RTP redetermination were initiated in April 2010 and the results distributed on April 29, 2010 to the CWG for an initial review and comment period. The CWG reviewed the draft air quality conformity analysis at its May 5, 2010 meeting. The draft 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and its conformity analysis and the 2030 RTP conformity re-determination are scheduled to be released for public review and comment on June 9, 2010. The results of the draft and final regional emissions analysis indicate that the 2008 RTIP, as amended, and 2030 RTP meet the air quality conformity requirements.

The SANDAG Board of Directors will be asked to make a conformity finding for the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP re-determination and approve the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 at its July 23, 2010 meeting.

The following sections provide a summary of the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP in relation to the above conformity requirements.

The first requirement of the air quality conformity finding is to provide for the expeditious implementation of adopted TCMs, which are also the Transportation Tactics included in the 1991 RAQS. These tactics are ridesharing, transit service improvements, traffic flow improvements, and bicycle facilities and programs.

The 1982 SIP established the TCMs, which identified general objectives and implementing actions for each tactic. Due to substantial investments since 1982, SANDAG has fully implemented the TCMs. Ridesharing, transit, bicycling, and traffic flow improvements continue to be funded, although the level of implementation established in the SIP has been surpassed. No TCMs have been removed or substituted from the SIP.

16

17

The 2008 RTIP as amended makes substantial progress in programming funds for implementation of the four adopted Transportation Tactics for the San Diego region contained in the 1991 RAQS. Table 3-1 shows that Transportation Tactics programmed for implementation total approximately $3.1 billion, or approximately 31 percent of the total funds programmed. Included are $23.9 million for Ridesharing, $2.9 billion for Transit Improvements, $108.6 million for Bicycle Facilities and Programs, and $121.6 million for Traffic Flow Improvements.

Based upon this analysis, the 2008 RTIP as amended continues to provide for the expeditious implementation of the four Transportation Tactics approved in the 1991 RAQS.

QUANTITATIVE EMISSIONS ANALYSIS

The second requirement of the conformity finding is to conduct a quantitative emissions analysis on the 2008 RTIP as amended. The emissions analysis must show that implementation of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP meet the emissions budgets established in the 2004 CO Maintenance Plan and in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County.

A quantitative emissions analysis was conducted according to the requirements established in the Transportation Conformity Rule under Section 93.122(b). Motor vehicle emissions forecasts were produced for the following analysis years: 2010, 2020, and 2030.

SANDAG's regional growth forecasts and transportation models, as well as ARB’s emissions model, were used to generate the emissions forecasts. Transportation forecasts were developed using the TransCAD 5.0 transportation planning computer package. The four-step transportation modeling process includes trip generation, trip distribution, mode split, and trip assignment. The quantitative emissions analysis was conducted using the EMFAC 2007 model.

All of the proposed capacity-increasing improvements identified in the 2008 RTIP as amended that are on the Regional Arterial System (as defined in the RTP) or the FHWA functional classification system (other principal arterials and higher classifications) were modeled.

EMISSIONS BUDGET ANALYSIS

Tables 3-2 and 3-3 provide a summary of the results of the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP.

The analysis shown in Table 3-2 demonstrates that the 2008 RTIP as amended and the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future meet the applicable budgets for the Eight-Hour Ozone standard. Projected reactive organic gas (ROG) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions for 2010, 2020, and 2030 are below the established SIP budgets. Table 3-3 shows that projected CO emissions from the 2008 RTIP as amended and the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future are below the 2003 CO budget of 730 tons per day.

CONCLUSION

Based upon an evaluation of projects and funds programmed and a quantitative emissions analysis, the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP meet the U.S. EPA transportation conformity regulations contained within the federal guidelines published on August 15, 1997, and subsequent amendments, as well as the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act amendments of 1990.

REGIONAL EMISSIONS ANALYSIS AND MODELING PROCEDURES

Appendix B

2008 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (RTIP) AMENDMENT NO. 23 REGIONAL EMISSIONS ANALYSIS AND MODELING PROCEDURES

BACKGROUND

The federal Clean Air Act (CAA), which was last amended in 1990, requires the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. California has adopted state air quality standards that are more stringent than the NAAQS. Areas with levels that exceed the standard for specified pollutants are designated as non-attainment areas.

The U.S. EPA requires that each state containing non-attainment areas develop plans to attain the NAAQS by a specified attainment deadline. These attainment plans are called State Implementation Plans (SIP). The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) prepares the San Diego portion of the California SIP. Once the standards are attained, further plans—called Maintenance Plans—are required to demonstrate continued maintenance of the NAAQS.

SANDAG and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) must make a determination that the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) conform to the SIP for air quality. Conformity to the SIP means that transportation activities will not create new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay the attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.

On November 30, 2007, the SANDAG Board made a finding of conformity of the 2030 RTP: Pathways for the Future and the 2006 RTIP Amendment No. 9 and adopted the plan. The U.S. DOT made its conformity determination on December 10, 2007.

On July 25, 2008, the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP. On November 17, 2008, the U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for the 2008 RTIP and a conformity redetermination for the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future.

On January 22, 2010, the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 16 and its conformity finding. The U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for this amendment on February 19, 2010.

SANDAG was requested to amend the 2008 RTIP to incorporate the addition of a project in the City of San Marcos (SM44) which is described in detail in Attachment 2.

The San Diego region attained the federal One-Hour Ozone Standard in 2001. The U.S. EPA redesignated the San Diego air basin as attainment/maintenance and approved the One-Hour Ozone Maintenance Plan as a SIP

28

revision, effective on July 28, 2003. On June 15, 2005, the U.S. EPA revoked the federal One-Hour Ozone Standard after the Eight-Hour Ozone Standard became applicable for conformity.

On April 15, 2004, the EPA designated the San Diego air basin as nonattainment for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard. This designation took effect on June 15, 2004. Several areas that are tribal lands in eastern San Diego County were excluded from the nonattainment designation. As shown in Figure 2, La Posta Areas #1 and #2, Cuyapaipe, Manzanita, and Campo Areas #1 and #2 are attainment areas for the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS.

The air basin was initially classified as a basic nonattainment area under Subpart 1 of the Clean Air Act and the maximum statutory attainment date for the Eight-Hour Ozone Standard was set as June 15, 2009. However, EPA, in response to a court decision, on January 16, 2009, proposed that, among other areas of the country, the San Diego basic nonattainment area will be reclassified as a Subpart 2 moderate nonattainment area, with a maximum statutory attainment date of June 15, 2010. Final EPA action on this proposed reclassification is yet to be taken.

In cooperation with the San Diego APCD and SANDAG, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) developed an Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan which was submitted to the U.S. EPA on June 15, 2007. The budgets in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008.

The San Diego region also has been designated by the U.S. EPA as a federal maintenance area for the Carbon Monoxide (CO) standard. On November 8, 2004, the ARB submitted the 2004 revision to the California SIP for CO to the U.S. EPA. Effective January 30, 2006, the U.S. EPA has approved this maintenance plan as a SIP revision.

TRANSPORTATION CONFORMITY: MODELING PROCEDURES

Introduction

The 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 23, is consistent with the 2030 RTP: Pathways for the Future. As a financially constrained plan, the 2008 RTIP only contains those major transportation projects listed in the Revenue Constrained 2030 RTP. Chapter 4 of the 2008 RTIP includes a detailed discussion on fiscal constraint. Conformity of the 2030 RTP expires on December 10, 2011. However, to comply with the transportation conformity rule standards which require a redetermination of conformity within two years of new budgets, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved a redetermination of conformity of the 2030 RTP: Pathways for the Future in conjunction with the 2008 RTIP on July 25, 2008. The 2008 RTIP is being amended to include an additional capacity increasing project and the SANDAG Board of Directors will be asked to approve the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and make a conformity determination for the RTIP and re-determination for the RTP on July 23, 2010. Table 3 to Table 5 include the conformity analysis for both the 2008 RTIP as amended and the 2030 Revenue Constrained RTP.

Growth Forecasts

Every three to five years, SANDAG produces a long-range forecast of population, housing, and employment growth for the San Diego region. The most recent is the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, which was accepted by the SANDAG Board on February 26, 2010 for planning purposes. The 2050 Regional Growth

29

Forecast also will be utilized in the development of the 2050 RTP which is anticipated to be adopted in summer 2011.

The forecast process relies on three integrated forecasting models. The first one, the Demographic and Economic Forecasting Model (DEFM), provides a detailed econometric and demographic forecast for the entire region. The second one, the Interregional Commuting Model, provides a forecast of commuting between the San Diego region, Orange County, southwest Riverside County, Imperial County, and Tijuana/Northern Baja California. The third one, the Urban Development Model, allocates the results of the first two models to subregional areas based upon the current plans and policies of the jurisdictions.

In April 2010, SANDAG consulted with the San Diego Region Conformity Working Group (CWG) on the use of the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP conformity redetermination. Previously, both U.S. DOT and U.S. EPA concurred that approved plans should be used as input in the air quality conformity process. Figure 1 and Table 1 show the regional population, jobs and housing growth forecast for the San Diego region through 2050.

The 2050 Regional Growth Forecast is based largely on the adopted general plans and community plans and policies of the 18 cities, and in some cases includes draft plans which are nearing completion. Because many

30

of the local general plans have horizon years of 2030 –twenty years before the 2050 Growth Forecast horizon year- the later part of the Forecast was developed in collaboration with each of the local jurisdictions through an iterative process that allowed each city to provide their projections for land uses in those later years. For the unincorporated area, the forecast is based on the County’s Referral Alternative draft of the General Plan update, with additional constraints included for sensitive habitat areas.

The 2050 Growth Forecast incorporates new data from the recent economic downturn and is the first forecast to be prepared under the guidelines of Senate Bill (SB) 375. SB 375 calls for housing all of the region’s population within the region, rather than relying on interregional commuting patterns to help accommodate future growth. Current economic conditions have resulted in lower projected population and employment numbers as compared to the previous forecast (Table 2).

Transportation Modeling

SANDAG follows a widely used, four-step transportation modeling process of trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and assignment to forecast travel activity in the San Diego region. After a first pass through the four steps, a feedback process is used to pass congested travel conditions back into trip distribution and through to assignment. After several feedback iterations, a final pass is made through the mode choice and assignment steps to reflect congested travel conditions in mode decision making. Travel model results then are combined with additional post-process input and output functions to form the complete modeling chain. For the first time, a truck model is run parallel to the four-step model and truck origin-destination trip tables are merged with vehicle trip tables for highway assignment and air quality procedures.

The estimates of regional transportation-related emissions analysis meet the requirements established in the Transportation Conformity Rule, Sections 93.122(b) and 93.122(c). These requirements relate to the procedures to determine regional transportation-related emissions, including the use of network-based travel models, methods to estimate traffic speeds and delays, and the estimation of vehicle miles of travel.

TransCAD 5.0 is the transportation planning computer package used by SANDAG to provide a framework for performing much of the computer processing involved with modeling and is used for the trip distribution and assignment steps. Another software package used extensively in the modeling process is ArcInfo. This geographic information system (GIS) maintains, manipulates, and displays transportation, land use, and demographic data. SANDAG has written numerous programs that provide a linkage between TransCAD and ArcInfo. Other custom programs perform some modeling functions such as trip generation and mode choice.

A number of data files and surveys are used to calibrate the transportation models. These include:

31

1995 and 2006 Travel Behavior Surveys

2001 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey

2001-2003 San Diego Regional Transit Survey

External Trip Surveys (2006 Interregional Travel Behavior Survey)

Traffic Generation Studies

1991 San Diego Visitor Survey

2000 Census Transportation Planning Package

2010 Gateway Forecast; 2002 Freight Analysis Framework

In addition to model parameters derived from these surveys, there are three major inputs to the transportation models:

Growth forecast inputs used to describe existing and planned land use patterns and demographic characteristics;

Highway networks used to describe existing roadway facilities and planned improvements to the roadway system; and

Transit networks used to describe existing and planned public transit service.

Highway Networks

The regional highway networks in the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP include all roads classified by local jurisdictions in their general plan circulation elements. These roads include freeways, expressways, conventional state highways, prime arterials, and selected major streets. In addition, some local streets are included in the networks for connectivity between zones.

The route improvements and additions in the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP are developed to provide adequate travel service that is compatible with adopted regional policies for land use and population growth. All regionally significant projects are included in the quantitative emissions analysis. These include all state highways, all proposed national highway system routes, all regionally significant arterials, and all Federal Highway Administration functionally classified "Other Principal Arterials."

The networks also account for programs intended to improve the operation of the highway system, including high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and ramp metering. Existing and proposed toll facilities also are modeled to reflect time, cost, and capacity effects of these facilities. The State Route (SR) 125 South, SR 11, and SR 241 are the only modeled toll facilities included in Revenue Constrained Plan for the San Diego region.

In addition, several managed/HOV lanes are included in the Revenue Constrained Plan. Facilities with proposed managed lanes include Interstate 5 (I-5), I-15, I-805, and SR 52. Managed lanes are defined as reversible HOV routes and HOV routes with two or more lanes in the peak direction. It is assumed that the excess capacity not utilized by carpools and transit on these facilities would be managed so that single occupant vehicles could use these lanes under a pricing mechanism. Traffic flows would be managed so that the facility would operate at level of service D or better.

Based on the networks and programs described above, the transportation forecasts of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP differentiate between eight highway modes:

drive alone non-toll

32

drive alone toll

shared-ride non-HOV/non-toll

shared-ride HOV/non-toll

shared-ride HOV/Toll

light heavy duty

medium heavy duty

heavy heavy duty SANDAG maintains a master highway network from which a specific year network, between the years 2008 (the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast base year) and 2030, can be built. Three networks were built and verified (2010, 2020, and 2030) for air quality conformity analyses of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP. A list of the major highway and near-term regional arterial projects included in the conformity analysis, and their implementation phasing is included with the draft Air Quality Conformity Determination. The Transportation Project Evaluation Criteria and Rankings are included in the 2030 RTP. Locally funded, regionally significant projects also have been included in the air quality conformity analysis. These projects are funded with TransNet funds, a 20-year, half-cent local sales tax for transportation that expires in 2008; TransNet Extension funds, a 40-year, half-cent local sales tax extension approved by voters in 2004 that expires in 2048; and other local revenue sources.

Transit Networks

SANDAG also maintains transit network datasets for existing and proposed transit systems. Most transit routes run over the same streets, freeways, HOV lanes, and ramps used in the highway networks. As a result the only additional facilities that are added to the transportation coverage for transit modeling purposes are:

trolley and commuter rail lines

streets used by buses that are not part of local general plan circulation elements

There are seven transit modes, which group routes with similar operating characteristics. They are:

commuter rail

trolley

bus rapid transit (BRT)

rapid bus

limited-express bus

express bus

local bus

BRT service would have stations similar to commuter rail and trolleys, and operating characteristics midway between rail and bus service. BRT service would be provided by advanced design buses operating on HOV lanes, some grade-separated transit ways, and surface streets with priority transit treatments. Once TransCAD transit networks have been built, TransCAD finds minimum time paths between transit access points (TAP). TAPs are selected transit stops that are used to represent walk and auto access to the transit system. The following four sets of paths are created for modes:

33

a.m. peak-period local bus

a.m. peak-period premium service

mid-day local bus

mid-day premium service

Bus speeds assumed in the transit networks are derived from modeled highway speeds and reflect the effects of congestion. Regional and express transit routes on surface streets are assumed to operate out of congestion due to priority transit treatments. Higher bus speeds may result for transit vehicles operating on highways with HOV lanes and HOV bypass lanes at ramp meters, compared to those routes that operate on highways where these facilities do not exist.

In addition to transit travel times, transit fares are required as input to the mode choice model. TransCAD procedures replicate the San Diego region’s complicated fare policies which differ between:

buses which collect a flat fare of between $1.00 and $4.00, depending on the type of service

trolleys which, in 2008 charge $1.25 for internal downtown trips and $2.50 for all other trips, and $2.50 for all trolley trips after 2008

SPRINTER which charges $2.00

commuter rail (COASTER) which has a zone-based fare of between $5.00 and $6.50

proposed BRT routes which are assumed to charge $4.00

proposed Rapid Bus routes, which are assumed to charge $2.50

Fares are converted to 1999 dollars (consistent with household incomes from the growth forecast) and are assumed to remain constant in inflation-adjusted dollars over the forecast period.

Near-term transit route changes are drawn from the Regional Short-Range Transit Plan produced in coopera-tion with the region’s transit agencies. Longer-range improvements are proposed as a part of the RTP development and other transit corridor studies. In addition to federal and state funded projects, locally funded regionally significant transit projects have been included in the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP. These transit projects also are funded with TransNet funds or other local revenue sources. Once network coding is completed, the transportation models are run for the applicable scenarios (2010, 2020, and 2030). The air quality conformity document contains the list of major regional transit projects included in the analysis and their implementation phasing.

Trip Generation

Trip generation is the first step in the transportation modeling process. Average weekday trip ends by all forms of transportation starting and ending in each zone are estimated for ten trip types.

1. home-work 6. work-other

2. home-college 7. other-other

3. home-school 8. serve passenger

4. home-shop 9. visitor

5. home-other 10. airport

34

The model computes person trips, which account for all forms of transportation including automobiles, light duty trucks, taxicabs, motorcycles, public transit, bicycling, and walking.

The trip generation model works by applying trip rates to zone-level growth forecasts. The model calculates each of the trip ends separately, as trip productions and attractions. Trip production rates are expressed as trips per household, while trip production rates vary by trip type and structure type. Trip attractions are expressed as trips per acre of nonresidential land use or trips per household. Trip attraction rates vary by trip type and land use category. The 2050 Regional Growth Forecast was used to produce trip generation forecasts for the years 2010, 2020, and 2030. Trip generation rates were established by utilizing data from traffic generator studies and expanding rates from the 1995 and 2006 Travel Behavior Surveys and 2001 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey.

The SANDAG regional transportation model uses a relatively high trip generation rate for households (8.1 vehicle trips per day), which may account for possible increases in trip-making as new facilities are built. Also, the model accounts for travel diversion among facilities.

The model reduces future year person trips by a small amount to reflect increased use of teleworking and e-commerce. Reduction factors of 1, 3, or 5 percent were applied to selected trip purposes and land uses. Telework reduction factors depend on the likelihood the land use type would have employee categories that could feasibly telecommute. Reduction factors start in year 2020.

The truck model follows a similar process as the person model. The model computes truck vehicle trips for heavy duty trucks including light heavy duty, medium heavy duty, and heavy heavy duty trucks. The truck classifications correspond to the California Air Resources Board truck classifications used in the air quality model EMFAC. Trip production and attraction rates are expressed as trips per employee and the rates vary by employee industry category.

Trip Distribution

After trip generation, trip movements between zones are determined using a doubly-constrained, gamma-function gravity model form of the trip distribution model. Inputs to the trip distribution model include zone-level trip generation forecasts by trip type, zone-to-zone impedances, and gamma function parameters by trip type and 4D category. 4D index categories attempt to define locations by their density, diversity, and urban design characteristics. A high 4D index value represents areas that would be considered smart growth and would result in shortened trip lengths. In this way the model is designed to reflect changing trip patterns in response to the types of new development in land use scenarios. The model also modifies trip patterns as new roadways are added.

Truck trip distribution is performed in a similar manner but is used to distribute vehicle trips rather than person trips by purpose as in the person model. The truck model also uses different distribution parameters by vehicle type which are not segmented by 4D category.

The model is calibrated to match observed trip length frequencies from the 2006 Travel Behavior Survey and 2001 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey. Zone-to-zone impedances are a composite measure of peak and off-peak travel times and costs by highway, transit, and non-motorized modes.

35

Mode Choice

At this point in the modeling process, total person trip movements between zones are split into different forms of transportation by highway, transit, and non-motorized modes (bicycling and walking). Highway modes include drive alone non-toll, drive alone toll, shared-ride non-HOV/non-toll, shared-ride HOV/non-toll, and shared-ride HOV/Toll. Nine transit modes differentiate transit trips by three ride modes (rail, BRT, and bus) and three access modes (walk, drive, and drop-off). The mode choice model is designed to link mode use to demographic assumptions, highway network conditions, transit system configuration, land use alternatives, parking costs, transit fares, and auto operating costs. Trips between zone pairs are allocated to modes based on the cost and time of traveling by a particular mode compared to the cost and time of traveling by other modes. For example, vehicle trips on a congested route would be more likely to be diverted to light rail than vehicle trips on an uncongested freeway.

Income level also is considered since lower-income households tend to own fewer automobiles, and therefore, make more trips by transit and carpooling. People in higher-income households tend to choose modes based on time and convenience rather than cost. The mode choice model is calibrated using 1995 and 2006 Travel Behavior Survey trip tables by mode and income and 2001-2003 Regional Transit Survey transit trip characteristics. Regional-level Census 2000 work trip mode shares also were used to fine tune mode share estimates.

Highway and transit travel times reflect highway congestion effects from the final iteration of the feedback loop. The model produces a.m. peak, p.m. peak, and off-peak period trip tables for vehicles and transit riders. The a.m. peak period is from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning and the p.m. peak period is from 3:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon. The off-peak period covers the remaining 18 hours of the day.

Highway and Transit Assignment

Highway assignment produces traffic volume estimates for all roadway segments in the system. These traffic volumes are an important input to emissions modeling. Similarly, transit trips are assigned to transit routes and segments.

Highway

SANDAG loads traffic using the TransCAD “Multi-Modal Multi-Class Assignment” function. Before loading the traffic onto the network, the three truck modes are combined with the five passenger vehicle modes. Multi-class assignment allows SANDAG to assign the eight vehicle modes (as defined in the Highway Network section) in one combined procedure.

The highway assignment model works by finding roads that provide the shortest travel impedance between each zone pair. Trips between zone pairs are then accumulated on road segments making up minimum paths. Highway impedances consider posted speed limits, signal delays, congestion delays, and costs. The model computes congestion delays for each segment based on the ratio of the traffic volume to roadway capacity. Motorists may choose different paths during peak hours when congestion can be heavy and off-peak hours when roadways are typically free flowing. For this reason, traffic is assigned separately for a.m. peak, p.m. peak, and off-peak periods. Vehicle trip tables for each scenario reflect increased trip-making due to population growth and variations in travel patterns due to the alternative transportation facilities/networks proposed.

36

Model accuracy is assessed by comparing model estimated traffic volumes with actual traffic counts obtained through the SANDAG traffic monitoring program and Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) estimates of vehicle miles of travel (VMT).

After completing the highway assignments, additional processing is needed. Adjustments are made for calibration error volume, HOV/managed lane volume, bus volumes, hourly distribution factors, level of service (LOS), and travel time.

Transit

For transit assignment, TransCAD software assigns TAP-to-TAP transit trips to the network. Eight separate transit assignments are produced for peak and off-peak periods; walk and auto access; and local bus and premium service. These individual assignments are summed to obtain total transit ridership forecasts.

Before assigning transit trips, external transit trips coming into San Diego from outside the region need to be added to the internal transit trips estimated by the mode choice model. Currently, few transit trips enter from the north or east, however, over 20,000 transit trips cross the Mexican border each day. An external transit trip table for the base year is developed from on-board transit ridership surveys and factored to future years based on border crossing trends to account for these trips.

For accuracy, transit ridership forecasts from the transit assignment model are compared with transit counts from the SANDAG transit passenger counting program to determine whether transit modeling parameters need to be adjusted.

Some of these comparisons of model-estimated boardings with actual boardings include:

System-level boardings, which may reveal transfer rate problems and lead to changes to the transfer wait time factor in the mode choice model;

Boardings by mode, which may reveal modal biases and lead to changes in mode choice modal constants;

Boardings by frequency of service, which may show biases that lead to changes in the first wait factor in the mode choice model; and

Centre City screenline crossings, which may lead to changes in parking costs, and boardings by stop location, which may indicate problems with specific generators such as a university.

Post-TransCAD Processing

Standard TransCAD output needs to be reformatted and adjusted to be useful for emissions modeling. Several routines and computer programs have been written to accomplish the following major functions:

Correcting link-specific traffic volume forecasts for calibration error;

Adding in estimated travel on roads not in the transportation modeling process;

Computing link speeds based on corrected link volumes, highway capacity manual relationships between congestion, and speed (or signal delay);

Splitting link volumes into heavy-duty truck and other traffic to obtain speed distributions by vehicle class; and

37

Preparing a data set that contains total VMT, number of trip starts, and VMT by speed category by time of day for each vehicle class.

The travel demand modeling procedures used for the 2008 RTIP and 2030 RTP differ from previous modeling procedures in three key ways. First, a truck model is being run parallel to the four-step model for the first time. Truck origin-destination trip tables are merged with vehicle trip tables for highway assignment and air quality procedures. Second, new inputs were used, including the recently completed 2010 Gateway Forecast (a forecast of freight traffic in the region,) 2002 Freight Analysis Framework data, and the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast projections. The third difference is a 4D (density, diversity, urban design characteristics) category was used as inputs into the trip distribution model. These new inputs and procedures have contributed to changes in emissions modeling output.

Motor Vehicle Emissions Modeling

Emissions Model

In November 2006, ARB released EMission FACtors (EMFAC) 2007, an emissions inventory model that calculates emissions for motor vehicles operating in California. It is an integrated model that combines emission rate data with vehicle activity to calculate regional emissions. The U.S. EPA approved EMFAC 2007 for use in conformity determinations on January 18, 2008.

The EMFAC 2007 model supports calculation of emissions for the Burden mode. The Burden mode is used for calculating regional emission inventories. In this mode, the model reports total emissions as tons per day for each pollutant, by vehicle class, and the total vehicle fleet. The Burden mode uses emission factors that have been corrected for ambient conditions and speeds combined with vehicle activity to calculate emissions in tons per day. Vehicle activity includes the number of vehicles, daily vehicle miles traveled, and the number of daily trips.

The air quality analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP was conducted using EMFAC 2007’s Burden mode. Projections of daily regional emissions were prepared for reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and CO.

On-road motor vehicle emissions are attributed to several different processes:

Starting exhaust

Running exhaust

Idle exhaust (calculated for heavy-duty trucks only)

Resting and diurnal evaporation

Running losses

Hot soak evaporation

Emission factors vary by vehicle class, fuel usage, and technology. The fuels modeled are gasoline, diesel, and electrically powered vehicles. Technology categories can be grouped into catalyst, noncatalyst, and diesel. Thirteen vehicle classes are modeled:

passenger car line-haul vehicle

two types of light-duty trucks urban bus

Regional Emissions Forecasts

Regional transportation forecasts were initiated in April 2010. Output from the TransCAD model was then reformatted and adjusted to be useful for emissions modeling.

Eight-Hour Ozone Standard

Effective June 9, 2008, the U.S. EPA found the eight-hour ozone budgets included in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County adequate for transportation conformity purposes. In April 2010 SANDAG prepared countywide forecasts of average weekday ROG and NOx emissions for 2010, 2020, and 2030 using the EMFAC 2007 model. ROG and NOx emissions are based on the summer season.

The analysis years were selected to comply with Sections 93.106(a) (1) and 93.118 (a) of the Transportation Conformity Rule. According to these sections, the first horizon year (2010) must be within ten years from the base year used to validate the regional transportation model (2008), the last horizon year must be the last year of the transportation plan’s forecast period (2030), and the horizon years may be no more than ten years apart (2020).

CO Standard

CO regional emissions were projected for 2010, 2018, 2020, and 2030 for the conformity determination of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP conformity redetermination. CO emissions are based on the winter season. Regional emissions for 2018 are interpolated.

Emissions Modeling Results

An emissions budget is the part of the SIP that identifies emissions levels necessary for meeting emissions reduction milestones, attainment, or maintenance demonstrations.

To determine conformity of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP, the plan must comply with the emission analysis described in the Regional Emissions Forecast section. Table 3 shows that the projected ROG and NOx emissions from the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP are below the 2008 ROG and NOx budgets.

Exempt Projects

Section 93.126 of the Transportation Conformity Rule exempts certain highway and transit projects from the requirement to determine conformity. The categories of exempt projects include safety, mass transit, air quality (ridesharing and bicycle and pedestrian facilities), and other (such as planning studies).

Table 6 illustrates the exempt projects considered in the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 Revenue Constrained RTP. This table shows short-term exempt projects. Additional unidentified projects could be funded with revenues expected to be available from the continuation of existing state and federal programs.

Implementation of Transportation Control Measures

There are four federally-approved Transportation Control Measures (TCM) that must be implemented in San Diego, which the SIP refers to as Transportation Tactics. They include ridesharing, transit service improvements, traffic flow improvements, and bicycle facilities and programs.

These TCMs were established in the 1982 SIP, which identified general objectives and implementing actions for each tactic. The TCMs have been fully implemented. Ridesharing, transit, bicycling, and traffic flow improvements continue to be funded, although the level of implementation established in the SIP has been surpassed. The list of actions that implemented the TCMs is available at SANDAG.

Interagency Consultation Process and Public Input

The consultation process followed to prepare the air quality conformity analysis for the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP complies with the San Diego Transportation Conformity Procedures adopted in July 1998. In turn, these procedures comply with federal requirements under 40 CFR 93. Interagency consultation involves SANDAG (as the MPO for San Diego County), the APCD, Caltrans, ARB, U.S. DOT, and U.S. EPA.

Consultation is a three-tier process that: 1. formulates and reviews drafts through a conformity working group

2. provides local agencies and the public with opportunities for input through existing regional advisory committees and workshops

3. seeks comments from affected federal and state agencies through participation in the development of draft documents and circulation of supporting materials prior to formal adoption

SANDAG consulted on the development of the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP at meetings of the CWG, as follows:

On April 7, 2010, SANDAG staff presented the schedule for the preparation of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and criteria and procedures to be followed for its conformity analysis. Staff confirmed that a redetermination of conformity would be done for the 2030 RTP, in conjunction with the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 for consistency purposes. Staff presented information on the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, Transportation Control Measures, the Revenue Constrained financial assumptions, latest emissions model, and public involvement and outreach.

On April 28, 2010, SANDAG released the draft air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 to the San Diego Region CWG for a 30-day review-and-comment period. On May 5, 2010, the draft air quality analysis will be discussed at the meeting of the San Diego Region CWG, and applicable comments will be incorporated into the report.

On June 9, 2010, the draft 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and its conformity determination and the 2030 RTP conformity redetermination will be released for a public review period, which will close on July 16, 2010.

The 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 will be presented to the TransNet Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee on July 14, 2010 for input.

The SANDAG Transportation Committee will be asked to recommend approval of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and its conformity determination to the Board of Directors on July 16, 2010.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.:6

Action Requested: APPROVE

2008 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: File Number 1500300 AMENDMENT NO. 25 Introduction

On July 25, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), the multiyear program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit, and bikeway projects in the San Diego region covering the period FY 2009 to FY 2013. The 2009 Federal State Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP), which includes the SANDAG 2008 RTIP, received federal approval on November 17, 2008.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to approve Resolution No. 2011-03 (Attachment 1), including Amendment No. 25 to the 2008 RTIP.

Discussion

SANDAG processes amendments to the RTIP generally on a quarterly basis and occasionally on a more frequent basis as circumstances arise. Amendment No. 25 represents the quarterly amendment that includes changes as requested by member agencies.

Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee

The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) is the independent citizen oversight committee that reviews TransNet-funded projects. The ITOC is scheduled to review Amendment No. 25 at its July 14, 2010, meeting, focusing its review on the TransNet-funded projects. Any significant comments will be presented to the Transportation Committee.

Public Notice/Resolutions

SANDAG transmitted the draft Amendment No. 25 to interested parties for a 15-day public review. The comment period ended on July 2, 2010, and no comments were received.

The changes in this amendment are summarized below with additional details included in Table 1 (Attachment 2).

Caltrans

• State Route 52 Freeway (E&F) (CAL26): This amendment proposes to revise funding between fiscal years and reduce TransNet – Major Corridor (MC) and federal Regional Surface

Transportation Program funds reflecting the SANDAG FY 2011 Program Budget. Total project decreases to $520,529,000.

• Highway Bridge Program (CAL44): This program is administered by the state; Caltrans has requested an addition of new projects to this lump sum. Total project increases to $145,446,000.

• SHOPP Mandates (CAL46I): This program is administered by the state, which has requested an addition of projects to this lump sum. Total project increases to $77,093,000.

• I-805 HOV/Managed Lanes – North (CAL78B): At its meeting on May 28, 2010, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved the allocation of $16 million of TransNet-MC to fully fund Phase 1 design to construct one HOV lane in each direction, including south-facing Direct Access Ramps at Carroll Canyon in order to receive approval of the environmental document. As part of the FY 2011 budget, there also was an exchange of $500,000 between the North and South projects.

The amendment also proposes to change the project status from noncapacity increasing project to capacity increasing. This project is properly modeled as a capacity increasing project in the Revenue Constrained 2030 Regional Transportation Plan. Total project increases to $25,924,000.

• Grouped Projects for State Minor Program (CAL213): This amendment proposes to add a new lump sum project for minor improvements to off-ramps and irrigation control systems. This project also is administered by the state. Total project is $5,815,000.

City of El Cajon

• Overlay/Reconstruction Projects (EL03): This amendment proposes to add TransNet – Local Streets Improvements (LSI) carryover funds and to increase TransNet – LSI funds in FY 2011. Total project increases to $13,172,000.

North County Transit District

• Rail Vehicles and Related Equipment (NCTD20): At its meeting on May 19, 2010, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted the program of projects for Proposition 1A (Prop. 1A) – High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Program funds, which included funding for the Positive Train Control project for the North County Transit District. This amendment proposes to add Prop. 1A along with other funds. Total project increases to $44,622,000.

San Diego County

• AC Overlay (CNTY46): This amendment proposes to revise TransNet – LSI funding and add TransNet – LSI (Cash) funds. Total project increases to $7,900,000.

San Diego Association of Governments/Metropolitan Transit System (MTS)

Provisions included in two previous federal transportation authorizations – Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21) – allow for the use of certain toll revenues as a match to federal funds. In May 2010, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved a conditional use of toll credits toward federally funded projects. In June 2010, guidance was issued for use of toll credits for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funded programs. The toll credits do not represent additional or new funding, but it does allow the agencies to receive 100 percent reimbursement of federal funds, by using the toll credits as a soft match to the federal funds. It also means that the project would have to be fully funded with the federal share only or reprioritize projects so that the overall federal appropriations are not increased. The benefit derived is to free up Transportation Development Act funding currently used as a match to the federal funds in order to create flexibility in future projects by using 100 percent of this local funding source, thereby eliminating federal contract provisions. Due to the recent decision by the federal agencies and Caltrans to allow for TDCs, MTS and SANDAG are the first agencies to apply TDCs to specific projects. SANDAG is currently working with Caltrans and local agencies to determine applicability of TDCs for other projects.

With the flexibility allowed under the toll credit, formally known as Transportation Development Credit (TDC) provisions, as well as factors that arose after the approval of the FY 2011 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), MTS has revised its CIP (including SANDAG-implemented projects). In addition to TDCs, other factors include the award of $233,150 from the California Energy Commission on May 17, 2010, to be used for compressed natural gas (CNG) station improvements; $2.2 million approved by the SANDAG Board at its May 28, 2010, meeting for Mission Valley East capital expenses; and the final apportionment for the FTA Section 5307 and FTA Section 5309 programs was lower than the amount assumed to develop the FY 2011 CIP. A detailed list of the project changes are shown in Attachment 2. The proposed changes are scheduled to be approved by the MTS Board at its July 15, 2010, meeting. MTS staff anticipates requesting an additional RTIP amendment in the coming months in order to replenish the local funding on the capital projects that SANDAG is implementing on behalf of MTS.

The changes due to the above factors are included in the below list of projects proposed to be amended: Bus and Rail Stock Purchase and Rehabilitation (MTS28), Preventive Maintenance (MTS32A), Bus Signal and Communications Equipment (MTS34), Rail Electrification and Power Distribution (SAN39), East County Bus Maintenance Facility (SAN52), Bus and Fixed Guideway Support Equipment (SAN55), Fixed Guideway Transitways/Lines (SAN57), and Bus and Fixed Guideway Station Stops and Terminals (SAN63).

• FTA Section 5310 Elderly and Disabled (SAN125): At its meeting on April 19, 2010, the CTC approved the allocation of funds under this program. Seventeen projects from the San Diego region were awarded funding from this program, which is allocated to nonprofit agencies. This amendment reflects that approval. Total project is $1,088,000.

3

• Transit Service Operations (MTS23A): Due to the reduced federal apportionment for FY 2010, the amount available for these specialized services is reduced. The total project is reduced to $132,596,000.

• Bus/Rail Support Facilities and Equipment (MTS30): The proposed change includes the addition of a new project, ADA Land and Facility for $19.2 million, previously approved by the MTS Board. Including other adjustments described above, the total project is increased to $67,905,000.

• Fixed Guideway Transitways/Lines (MTS35): With the additional local funds available due to the use of TDCs on other projects, this amendment proposes to increase the local funds and reduce like amount of federal funds. Total project remains $21,770,000.

City of San Diego

• State Route (SR) 163/Friars Road Interchange Modification (SD83): This amendment proposes to change the project description to add phases to different segments of the project. The change (bolded) is from “widen and improve Friars Road and overcrossing; reconstruct interchange, including improved ramp intersections and new connector roadways; and construct auxiliary lanes along northbound and southbound SR 163" to “widen and improve Friars Road and overcrossing; reconstruct interchange, including improvements to ramp intersections (Phase 1). Construct new connector roadways and structures (Phase 2). Construct auxiliary lanes along northbound and southbound SR 163 (Phase 3).” Total project remains at $58,818,000.

• Otay Truck Route Widening (Phase 4) (SD102A): This amendment proposes to move federal High Priority Project (HPP) funds and local funds from FY 2010 to FY 2011 and FY 2012. Total project remains at $6,968,000.

• Skyline Drive – 58th Street to Sears Avenue (SD130): This amendment proposes to revise HPP and local funds from FY 2010 to FY 2011. This amendment also proposes to revise the project description (change in bold) from “Skyline Drive from 58th Street to Sears Street - in San Diego, installation of new medians for safety improvements, intersection lighting, traffic signal upgrades, and other street improvements to enhance pedestrian and vehicular movement” to “Skyline Drive from 58th Street to Sears Avenue - in San Diego, installation of new medians for safety improvements, intersection lighting, traffic signal upgrades, and other street improvements to enhance pedestrian and vehicular movement.” Total project remains at $2,705,000.

4

City of San Marcos

• San Marcos Creek Bridge at State Route 78 (SM45): This new project would construct a culvert on SR 78 between Twin Oaks Valley Road and San Marcos Boulevard interchange. Total project is $21,400,000.

Fiscal Constraint Analysis

Federal regulations require the 2008 RTIP to be a revenue-constrained document with programmed projects based upon available or committed funding and/or reasonable estimates of future funding. Funding assumptions are generally based upon: (1) authorized or appropriated levels of federal and state funding from current legislation; (2) conservative projections of future federal and state funding based upon a continuation of current funding levels; (3) the most current revenue forecasts for the TransNet program; and (4) the planning and programming documents of the local transportation providers.

Tables 2a through 2c (Attachment 3) provide updated program summaries, including a comparison from the prior approved version (Chapter 4 of the Final 2008 RTIP discusses, in detail, the financial capacity analysis of major program areas, including discussion of available revenues). Based upon the analysis, the projects contained within the 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 25, are reasonable when considering available funding sources.

Air Quality Analysis

On July 25, 2008, SANDAG found the 2008 RTIP in conformance with the Regional Air Quality Strategy/State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the San Diego region in accordance with the provisions of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 51 and 93. All of the required regionally significant capacity increasing projects were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the 2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP) and the

2008 RTIP. The FHWA and the FTA jointly approved the conformity determination for the 2008 RTIP and the conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP on November 17, 2008. SANDAG updated the air quality conformity analysis as part of Amendment No. 16 to the 2008 RTIP; FHWA/FTA approved the redetermination on February 19, 2010.

Projects in RTIP Amendment No. 25 meet the conformity provisions of the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.122(g)) and all applicable transportation planning requirements per 23 CFR Part 450. All capacity increasing projects in Amendment No. 25 were included in the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the 2030 RTP and 2008 RTIP. All other projects not included in the air quality conformity analysis are either noncapacity increasing or are exempt from the requirement to determine conformity according to the Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR §93.126) and because all other projects are exempt, no further conformity determination is required. SANDAG followed interagency consultation procedures to determine

5

6

which projects are exempt. Amendment No. 25 does not interfere with the timely implementation of Transportation Control Measures. The 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 25, remain in conformance with the SIP.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 7

Action Requested: APPROVE

FY 2011 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT CLAIM AMENDMENTS File Number 1500300 Introduction

At the June 25, 2010, meeting the SANDAG Board of Directors approved the FY 2011 Transportation Development Act (TDA) allocations and associated claims for Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), North County Transit District (NCTD), SANDAG, and the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA). Amendment No. 25 to the 2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), Agenda Item No. 6, includes a revision to certain capital projects for MTS and SANDAG.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to (1) Approve Resolution No. 2011-04 relating to 2011 Transportation Development Act claim amendments in substantially the same form as shown in Attachment 1; and (2) direct staff to provide instructions to the County Office of Auditor Controller to revise these claims.

Discussion

Provisions included in two previous federal transportation authorizations – Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21) – allow for the use of certain toll revenues as a match to federal funds. In May 2010, the Federal Highway Administration approved a conditional use of toll credits toward federally funded projects. In June 2010, guidance was issued for use of toll credits for Federal Transit Administration funded programs. The toll credits do not represent additional or new funding, but it does allow the agencies to receive 100 percent reimbursement of federal funds, by using the toll credits as a soft match to the federal funds. It also means that the project would have to be fully funded with the federal share only or reprioritize projects so that the overall federal appropriations are not increased. The benefit derived is to free up TDA funding currently used as a match to the federal funds in order to create flexibility in future projects by using 100 percent of this local funding source, thereby eliminating federal contract provisions.

SANDAG has notified Caltrans, local agencies, and the two transit agencies, NCTD and MTS, to determine if any agency wished to pursue the use of toll credits. To date, only MTS is pursuing to take advantage of this program. With the flexibility allowed under the toll credits otherwise known as Transportation Development Credit (TDC) provisions, MTS has reviewed its FY 2011 Capital Improvement Program (approved by

2

SANDAG in April 2010), which includes regional projects that SANDAG implements on behalf of MTS. One of the outcomes from this reprioritization is the reduction in the capital transfer line under TDA. When SANDAG implements capital projects on behalf of MTS, the funding is transferred from MTS, including both the federal amount as well as the local match. For FY 2011, MTS had identified approximately $3.4 million of TDA to use as a local match to capital projects. With the change, the local match is reduced to $194,430. This reduction to the TDA match for the SANDAG capital projects of $3.2 million will be used to fund MTS capital projects using 100 percent TDA. This action requires an amendment to the FY 2011 TDA claim (Attachment 1). MTS staff anticipates requesting an additional RTIP amendment in the coming months in order to replenish the local funding on the capital projects that SANDAG is implementing on behalf of MTS. The MTS Board of Directors is scheduled to consider this item at its July 15, 2010, meeting.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 8Action Requested: RECOMMEND

DRAFT 2010 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, INCLUDING THE DRAFT AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY DETERMINATION File Number 1500300

Introduction

SANDAG, serving as the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is required by state and federal laws to develop and adopt a Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The RTIP is a multi-year program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit, and nonmotorized projects, including the TransNet Program of Projects. The current 2008 RTIP, adopted by the Board of Directors on July 25, 2008, covers the five-year period FY 2009 through FY 2013. This Draft 2010 RTIP, covering the period FY 2011 through FY 2015, is a $10 billion program consisting of major highway, transit, local streets and roads, and other capital projects. The final 2010 RTIP is due to the state by October 1, 2010.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors: (1) accept for review and distribution the Draft 2010 Regional Transportation Improvement Program, including its air quality conformity analysis and the draft air quality conformity redetermination of the 2030 Revenue Constrained Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future for a 30-day public comment period; and (2) schedule a public hearing for the September 3, 2010, Transportation Committee meeting.

Attachment 1 provides an overview of the Draft 2010 RTIP by the different modes. Of the $10 billion program total, $5.5 billion is allocated for highway projects, $2.7 billion is programmed toward transit projects, $1.2 billion for Local Street and Road projects, and $540 million is programmed toward other projects such as Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities, Transportation Demand Management, and Transportation Systems Management. Federal and state funds account for about 46.2 percent of the total Draft 2010 RTIP. One of the major components of the RTIP includes the state and federally funded transportation projects that are programmed in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP). At its February and May meetings, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted the 2010 SHOPP and STIP, respectively. This Draft 2010 RTIP includes the CTC-adopted 2010 STIP- and SHOPP-funded projects for the San Diego region. State funds from Proposition 1B: Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, passed by voters in November 2006, also are included.

Discussion

RTIP Content Federal and state regulations identify the process and required content of the RTIP. In general, the RTIP must include all major projects receiving certain categories of federal or state transportation funding, projects needing federal project approval, and/or projects identified as being regionally significant. This includes projects funded by the federal Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) formula and discretionary programs and other federal sources, as well as projects funded by the STIP and SHOPP. As prescribed by the TransNet Extension Ordinance, the RTIP also includes the TransNet Program of Projects. Background On January 29, 2010, SANDAG transmitted a memorandum to all local agencies requesting project submittals for the 2010 RTIP. Submittals were to include new projects, project deletions, or changes to existing programmed project scopes, funding, or phasing. The project listings were due to SANDAG by April 2, 2010. Staff has reviewed the projects and conducted the required air quality conformity analysis for the projects included in the 2010 RTIP. In addition, SANDAG is required to redetermine conformity of the 2030 Revenue Constrained Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP) to ensure consistency between the long-range transportation plan and the transportation improvement program. Federal funds programmed are based on the federal authorizing legislation, Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). SAFETEA-LU expired September 30, 2009, but was extended through December 31, 2010, via HR 2847, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, signed by the President on March 18, 2010. For the subsequent years (FY 2011 to FY 2015), continuation of the formula programs (for both FTA and Federal Highway Administration) is assumed. No assumptions are made with regard to any new discretionary program funding. The list of projects proposed for the 2010 RTIP is listed in Table 1 (Attachment 2). This list includes projects submitted by local agencies, transit agencies, Caltrans, and SANDAG, as well as other agencies that have transportation projects in the San Diego region. Pursuant to Board Policy No. 031, local agencies are required to submit documentation by June 30, 2010 (in the form of a resolution) attesting to the approval by the local governing body for projects included in the RTIP. This process ensures that interested public parties and the local governing body are aware of the projects proposed to be included in the RTIP. The Cities of Lemon Grove and National City are in the process of completing the required documentation and it is anticipated that both cities will seek council approval prior to the scheduled July 23, 2010, Board action. Upon receipt of the signed resolutions, the projects from both cities will be incorporated into the Draft 2010 RTIP.

Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) The ITOC is scheduled to review the Draft 2010 RTIP at its meeting on July 14, 2010, focusing its review on the TransNet Program of Projects including compliance with the TransNet Extension Ordinance and requirements of Board Policy No. 031, “TransNet Ordinance and Expenditure Plan Rules.” Any comments from the ITOC will be presented to the Transportation Committee. Air Quality Conformity Requirements Federal regulations require that SANDAG conduct an air quality conformity analysis of all regionally significant projects that increase the transportation system capacity. This includes major local and privately funded projects and any other state or federally funded projects that might not otherwise appear in the RTIP, as well as new projects or major changes in the project scope for existing programmed project.

The draft quantitative emissions analyses for the 2010 RTIP and for the conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP have been conducted, and the draft results indicate that they meet the air quality conformity requirements (Attachment 3). The San Diego Region Conformity Working Group (CWG) reviewed the draft air quality conformity assessment at its June 9, 2010, meeting. There were no comments at that meeting. The CWG will be providing comments throughout the RTIP process. Schedule Pending Transportation Committee action, the Board of Directors will be asked at its July 23, 2010, meeting to release the Draft 2010 RTIP for distribution for public review and comment, and schedule a public hearing at the September 3, 2010, Transportation Committee meeting. Pending the Transportation Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Directors will be requested to adopt the final 2010 RTIP and make its air quality conformity determination at its September 24, 2010, meeting.

Attachment 3

DRAFT AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY ANALYSIS

On April 15, 2004, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated the San Diego air basin as nonattainment for the new Eight-Hour Ozone Standard. This designation took effect on June 15, 2004. Several areas that are tribal lands in eastern San Diego County were excluded from the nonattainment designation. The air basin was initially classified as a basic nonattainment area under Subpart 1 of the Clean Air Act and the maximum statutory attainment date for the Eight-Hour Ozone Standard was set as June 15, 2009. However, U.S. EPA in response to a court decision, on January 16, 2009, proposed that, among other areas of the country, the San Diego basic nonattainment area be reclassified as a Subpart 2 moderate nonattainment area, with a maximum statutory attainment date of June 15, 2010. Final U.S. EPA action on this proposed reclassification is still pending.

In cooperation with the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and SANDAG, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) developed an Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan which was submitted to the U.S. EPA on June 15, 2007. The budgets in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008.

The SANDAG Board of Directors made a finding of conformity of the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (2030 RTP) and 2006 RTIP, as amended, on November 30, 2007. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued its conformity finding on December 10, 2007. On July 25, 2008, a conformity determination for the 2008 RTIP and conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP was made by the SANDAG Board of Directors. The U.S. DOT issued its conformity finding on November 17, 2008. On January 22, 2010 the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 16 and its conformity finding. The U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for the amendment on February 19, 2010. On July 23, 2010 the SANDAG Board of Directors will be asked to make a finding of conformity for the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and a conformity redetermination for the 2030 RTP.

Also, the U.S. EPA designated the San Diego region as a federal maintenance area for the Carbon Monoxide (CO) standard. On January 30, 2006, the U.S. EPA approved the 2004 Revision to the California State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide or CO Maintenance Plan as a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision.

DEMONSTRATION OF FISCAL CONSTRAINT

The Draft 2010 RTIP is consistent with the 2030 RTP. As a financially constrained document, the Draft 2010 RTIP contains only those major transportation projects listed in the revenue-constrained 2030 RTP. Chapter 4 of the Draft 2010 RTIP includes detailed discussion on fiscal constraint and overall financial capacity to carry out projects included in the RTIP.

DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURES

In 1982, SANDAG adopted four Transportation Tactics as elements of the 1982 Revised Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS). These Transportation Tactics are ridesharing, transit improvements, traffic flow improvements, and bicycle facilities and programs.

126

These four Transportation Tactics were subsequently approved by the San Diego Air Pollution Control Board (APCB) and are included in the 1982 SIP for Air Quality as Transportation Control Measures (TCMs). The U.S. EPA approved this State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for the San Diego Air Basin in 1983. However, the four TCMs have been fully implemented.

The California Clean Air Act required the preparation of a 1991 RAQS, including TCMs. During 1991 and 1992, SANDAG, in cooperation with local agencies, transit agencies, and the APCD developed a TCM Plan. SANDAG approved the TCM Plan on March 27, 1992.

On June 30, 1992, the APCD amended the TCM Plan and adopted the 1991 RAQS, including the amended TCM Plan. TCMs included in the 1991 RAQS include the four Transportation Tactics described above, as well as a transportation demand management (TDM) program, vanpools, high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes, and park and ride facilities. On November 12, 1992, the Air Resources Board (ARB) gave approval to the 1991 RAQS, including the TCMs.

The 1995 Triennial RAQS Update subsequently deleted the Employee Commute Travel Reduction Program contained in the TDM program because the program was no longer required under federal law. Assembly Bill 3048 (Statutes of 1996, Chapter 777) eliminated all state requirements for mandatory trip reduction programs. As a result, the Student Travel Reduction Program, the Non-Commute Travel Reduction Program, and the Goods Movement/Truck Operation Program proposed in the 1991 RAQS were no longer statutorily mandated and were deleted from the RAQS in 1998. The 2001, 2004, and 2009 Triennial RAQS Revisions did not make changes to measures related to mobile sources or the TCM Plan.

AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY REQUIREMENTS

SANDAG, as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and the U.S. DOT must make a determination that the 2010 RTIP and the 2030 RTP conform to the applicable SIP. Conformity to the SIP means that transportation activities will not create new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay the attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

Based upon the U.S. EPA’s Transportation Conformity Rule, as amended, conformity of transportation plans and programs, including the 2010 RTIP is determined according to the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) [Section 176(c)(3)(A)] if the following is demonstrated:

The Draft 2010 RTIP provides for the timely implementation of the Transportation Tactics contained in the 1991 RAQS. These tactics are also included as TCMs in the 1982 SIP, but have been fully implemented.

A quantitative analysis is conducted on the cumulative emissions of projects programmed within the Draft 2010 RTIP including all regionally significant, capacity-increasing projects. Further, implementation of the projects and programs must meet the motor vehicle emissions budget developed by local and state air quality agencies and approved by the U.S. EPA. The 2010 RTIP must meet the applicable emission budgets prescribed in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County which were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008. Also, the 2010 RTIP must meet the CO emissions budget established in the CO Maintenance Plan (approved by the U.S. EPA in January 2006).

127

In addition to the required emissions tests, consultation with transportation and air quality agencies is required. The consultation process followed to prepare the air quality conformity analysis complies with the San Diego Transportation Conformity Procedures adopted in July 1998.

Interagency consultation involves SANDAG, the SDAPCD, Caltrans, ARB, the U.S. DOT, and the U.S. EPA, which form the San Diego Region Conformity Working Group (CWG).

Consultation is a three-tier process that:

1. formulates and reviews drafts through a conformity working group;

2. provides local agencies and the public with opportunities for input through existing regional advisory committees and workshops; and

3. seeks comments from affected federal and state agencies through participation in the development of draft documents and circulation of supporting materials prior to formal adoption.

SANDAG consulted with the CWG for the preparation of the new air quality analysis of the Draft 2010 RTIP. Conformity of the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future also is being redetermined for consistency purposes.

The schedule for the development for the Draft 2010 RTIP and criteria and procedures for determining conformity were presented to the CWG on March 3, 2010. The draft list of non-capacity increasing projects was provided to the CWG on April 26, 2010 and the draft list of capacity increasing project was provided to the CWG on May 5, 2010. Comments from the CWG were incorporated into the final exempt projects list.

The quantitative emissions analyses for the Draft 2010 RTIP conformity determination and 2030 RTP redetermination were initiated in April, 2010 and the results distributed on June 1, 2010 to the CWG for an initial review and comment period. The San Diego Region CWG reviewed the draft air quality conformity analysis at its June 9, 2010 meeting. The Draft 2010 RTIP and its conformity analysis and the 2030 RTP conformity redetermination are scheduled to be released for public review and comment on July 23, 2010. The results of the regional emissions analysis indicate that the Draft 2010 RTIP and 2030 RTP meet the air quality conformity requirements.

The SANDAG Board of Directors will be asked to make a conformity finding for the 2010 RTIP and redetermination of conformity for the 2030 RTP and approve the 2010 RTIP at its September 24, 2010 meeting. The following sections provide a summary of the air quality conformity analysis of the Draft 2010 RTIP and 2030 RTP in relation to the above conformity requirements.

The first requirement of the air quality conformity finding is to provide for the expeditious implementation of adopted TCMs, which are also the Transportation Tactics included in the 1991 RAQS. These tactics are ridesharing, transit service improvements, traffic flow improvements, and bicycle facilities and programs.

The 1982 SIP established the TCMs, which identified general objectives and implementing actions for each tactic. Due to substantial investments since 1982, SANDAG has fully implemented the TCMs. Ridesharing, transit, bicycling, and traffic flow improvements continue to be funded, although the level of implementation established in the SIP has been surpassed. No TCMs have been removed or substituted from the SIP. The Draft 2010 RTIP makes substantial progress in programming funds for implementation of the four adopted Transportation Tactics for the San Diego region contained in the 1991 RAQS. Table 5-1 shows that

128

129

Transportation Tactics programmed for implementation total approximately $2.9 billion, or 29 percent of the total funds programmed. Included are $19.7 million for Ridesharing, $2.7 billion for Transit Improvements, $39.6 million for Bicycle Facilities and Programs, and $94.6 million for Traffic Flow Improvements. Based upon this analysis, the Draft 2010 RTIP continues to provide for the expeditious implementation of the four Transportation Tactics approved in the 1991 RAQS.

QUANTITATIVE EMISSIONS ANALYSIS

The second requirement of the conformity finding is to conduct a quantitative emissions analysis on the Draft 2010 RTIP. The emissions analysis must show that implementation of the Draft 2010 RTIP and 2030 RTP meet the emissions budgets established in the 2004 CO Maintenance Plan and in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County.

A quantitative emissions analysis was conducted according to the requirements established in the Transportation Conformity Rule under Section 93.122(b). Motor vehicle emissions forecasts were produced for the following analysis years: 2010, 2020, and 2030.

SANDAG's regional growth forecasts and transportation models, as well as ARB’s emissions model, were used to generate the emissions forecasts. Transportation forecasts were developed using the TransCAD 5.0 transportation planning computer package. The four-step transportation modeling process includes trip generation, trip distribution, mode split, and trip assignment. The quantitative emissions analysis was conducted using the EMFAC 2007 model.

All of the proposed capacity-increasing improvements identified in theDraft 2010 RTIP that are on the Regional Arterial System (as defined in the RTP) or the FHWA functional classification system (other principal arterials and higher classifications) were modeled.

EMISSIONS BUDGET ANALYSIS

Tables 5-2 and 5-3 provide a summary of the results of the quantitative emissions analysis conducted for the Draft 2010 RTIP and 2030 RTP. The analysis shown in Table 5-2 demonstrates that the Draft 2010 RTIP and the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future meet the applicable budgets for the Eight-Hour Ozone standard. Projected reactive organic gas (ROG) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions for 2010, 2020, and 2030 are below the established SIP budgets. Table 5-3 shows that projected CO emissions from the Draft 2010 RTIP and the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future are below the 2003 CO budget of 730 tons per day.

CONCLUSION

Based upon an evaluation of projects and funds programmed and a quantitative emissions analysis, the Draft 2010 RTIP and 2030 RTP meet the U.S. EPA transportation conformity regulations contained within the federal guidelines published on August 15, 1997, and subsequent amendments, as well as the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act amendments of 1990.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE July 16, 2010

AGENDA ITEM NO.: 9Action Requested: RECOMMEND

2050 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN (RTP): DRAFT UNCONSTRAINED TRANSPORTATION NETWORK File Number 3100500 Introduction During the past few months, staff presented the initial 2050 RTP Unconstrained Highway and Transit networks to the Board of Directors, Policy Committees, various SANDAG working groups, and at other public meetings for input. The basis of the draft 2050 Unconstrained Transportation Network presented in this report includes the “hybrid” transit scenario from the Urban Area Transit Strategy, highway improvements to serve people and goods, local streets and roads improvements, bicycle projects within the regional network, rail grade separations, and other management strategies.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors accept the draft Unconstrained Transportation Network for use in the development of the 2050 RTP.

Discussion Draft Unconstrained Transportation Network In developing the 2050 RTP, the Unconstrained Transportation Network represents the region’s vision for transit, highway, and arterial improvements and operations to meet travel demand in 2050. Defining the Unconstrained Network is an important step in developing an updated RTP, because it establishes the broadest multimodal network from which revenue constrained network scenarios will be developed. Once the Unconstrained Network is defined, staff will prioritize all of the future projects in this network, using the Board approved transportation project evaluation criteria. Based on revenue projections to 2050, various Revenue Constrained transportation network scenarios will be developed using this prioritized project list and other factors. The Revenue Constrained network scenarios will attempt to build and operate as much of the Unconstrained Network as possible, given revenue availability and flexibility, and project priorities. These scenarios will be evaluated using performance measures leading to the eventual selection of a preferred Revenue Constrained Scenario by the Board of Directors. The draft Unconstrained Network totals approximately $95 to $115 billion through 2050. Costs will be refined as staff continues the development of the 2050 RTP.

Transit Network As described in previous reports, the Urban Area Transit Strategy has served as the basis for development of the regional transit network to be included in the 2050 RTP. Through the planning process, three transit network alternatives with a focus on the urban areas of the San Diego region were developed and tested. The alternatives were based on the following themes: Transit Propensity” (expanding transit in the most urbanized areas), “Commuter Point-to-Point” (emphasizing quick access to work), and “Many Centers” (connecting local smart growth areas and activity centers). The overarching goal is to create a world-class transit system for the San Diego region in 2050 that significantly increases the use of transit, walking, and biking in the urbanized areas of the region, makes transit more time-competitive with the automobile, maximizes the use of transit during peak periods, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle miles traveled in the region. The best transit system strategies from each of the three alternatives, as well as ideas received from the SANDAG Working Groups, Policy Advisory Committees, and through the public outreach process, have been combined into a “Hybrid” 2050 Unconstrained Transit Network. The Unconstrained Transit Network is based on the following strategies and network assumptions: • Strengthen the current transit network in communities that already have strong transit/land use

integration. Improvements focus on:

o Including local transit routes and service frequencies called for in the Comprehensive Operational Analysis of the two transit agencies and further enhancing most local bus frequencies in the urban areas to 10-minute or better all-day,

o Developing Rapid Bus services along major arterial corridors with 10-minute all-day frequencies, and

o Adding streetcar and/or other shuttle/circulator services with 10-minute all-day frequencies to help improve intra-community circulation within smart growth centers.

• Interconnect the existing, most highly-urbanized areas and future smart growth centers to each other and to major employment areas. Improvements focus on:

o Double tracking the COASTER and completing the Del Mar and UTC COASTER tunnels to provide 15-minute all-day and peak period frequencies,

o Extending the SPRINTER to North County Fair and double tracking the SPRINTER to provide 10-minute peak period frequencies and 15-minute off-peak frequencies,

o Providing “Express” SPRINTER service to the Oceanside, Vista, and Escondido transit centers with 10-minute peak period frequencies and 15-minute off-peak frequencies,

o Building a Trolley tunnel in downtown San Diego between Smart Corner and One America Plaza to support enhanced operations of the Blue and Orange Trolley lines,

o Increasing frequencies along the Orange, Blue, and Green Trolley lines to 7.5-minutes all-day,

o Completing the Mid-Coast Light Rail Transit (LRT) extension to University City,

2

o Adding new LRT service and express LRT service with 10-minute or better all-day frequencies to better serve high-demand corridors, such as Mira Mesa, Kearny Mesa, Chula Vista, Pacific Beach, and Mid-City/Southeastern San Diego communities,

o Adding a system of high-frequency, high-speed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services with 10- or 15-minute peak and/or off-peak frequencies that will facilitate easy and convenient access across the region along freeway/Managed Lanes corridors, and

o Adding select peak commuter BRT bus services with 10- or 15-minute peak directional frequencies that offer high-speed, one-seat ride travel to facilitate access to key regional employment centers.

• Integrate High-Speed Rail (HSR) from Riverside County to the San Diego/Tijuana international border and add a commuter rail overlay service (similar to existing COASTER service) into the transit network. Improvements focus on:

o Providing HSR stations in downtown Escondido and at Lindbergh Field, as assumed in the most recent High-Speed Rail Authority alignment (subject to change), and

o Adding commuter rail overlay stations along the Interstate (I-15) and I-5 corridors at the following locations: Temecula, State Route (SR) 76, Escondido Transit Center, Mira Mesa, University City, Lindbergh Field, 8th Street in National City, H Street in Chula Vista, the San Ysidro border crossing, the proposed cross-border terminal, and the Otay Mesa Border crossing. Service frequencies would be 15-minute peak and 60-minute off-peak.

• Emphasize improvements to the pedestrian environment in and around rail and bus station areas to maximize convenient and safe walking access to transit, and create interconnections between transit and the Regional Bike Plan as a means to facilitate access to transit stations from areas outside a walking distance and create new last-mile solutions.

A “subway-style” map illustrating the “Hybrid” Draft 2050 Unconstrained Transit Network is included as Attachment 1. Attachment 2 contains the list of transit routes and headways for the Draft 2050 Unconstrained Transit Network. The following table summarizes existing and additional miles of transit service by mode included in this Unconstrained Transit Network:

Initial cost estimates for the Unconstrained Transit Network total approximately $31 to $37 billion. This range is based on an estimated range of $26 to $30 billion for capital costs and $5 to $7 billion for operating costs.

SANDAG staff met with staff from the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD) to review the Hybrid Unconstrained Transit Network. MTS and NCTD staff provided the following comments.

• Consider substituting the HSR extension from Lindbergh Field to South Bay with third track improvements that would allow for Express Trolley service along the Blue Line.

• Consider express trolley service on other existing and future LRT lines.

• Include a bus tunnel alongside the proposed Trolley tunnel in downtown San Diego between Smart Corner and One America Plaza to support capacity needs for the extensive network of proposed BRT routes that would serve downtown San Diego. Underground layover terminals would be included.

• Add streetcar / shuttle in Mission Bay.

• Add a COASTER station at the Convention Center at Harbor Drive in downtown San Diego and a permanent COASTER station at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

• Test a BRT line along the future SR 78 high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) corridor.

• Test the extension of the SPRINTER line into eastern Escondido along Grand Avenue.

• Explore the concept of interoperable trains for “one-seat ride” rail service in the region to minimize the need for transfers, for example, between COASTER and SPRINTER services. (This would be explored as a vehicle technology improvement in the RTP.)

SANDAG staff supports these additions/modifications and proposes incorporating them into the Unconstrained Transit Network that is scheduled to be presented to the SANDAG Board at its July 23, 2010, meeting. Updated maps, cost estimates, and mode share figures would be incorporated into the Board report to reflect the suggested changes.

Transit Mode Share Goals

In June, the Board accepted home-to-work peak period transit mode share goals for 14 geographic subareas within the urban area. The current transit mode share (2008) for the overall combined urban area is five percent. The mode share goal accepted by the Board for the urban area in 2050 is a range of 10-15 percent. Attachment 3 provides a map that illustrates the mode share goal ranges for each geographic subarea. Attachment 4 provides a table that delineates the mode share goal ranges for each subarea along with projected mode shares in 2050 under the Transit Propensity, Commuter Point-to-Point, Many Centers, and the new “Hybrid” Unconstrained Transit Network scenarios.1

1 Staff is in the process of refining the transportation model to more accurately assign transit trips originating and/or

ending at the international U.S./Mexico border, the San Diego/Riverside County border, and the region’s military

facilities, which may have an effect on the mode share projections. Any significant differences in mode share

projections will be posted to the SANDAG Web site, and will be used to further refine the Unconstrained Transit

Network.

Initial analysis of the “Hybrid” Unconstrained Transit Network shows that the unconstrained network results in a 12 percent home-to-work peak period transit mode share in the urban area, coming in at the mid-point of the goal range accepted by the Board. Other mode share data of interest include a projected 29 percent transit mode share in Downtown San Diego under the Unconstrained Transit Network, compared to the goal of 30+ percent, a 16 percent projected mode share in the University City area compared to the goal range of 15-20 percent, and a 19 percent projected mode share in the central core area compared to the goal range of 20-25 percent (see Attachment 3 map for definition of areas).

Initial analysis also indicates that the “Hybrid” Unconstrained Transit Network more than doubles daily transit trips compared to the existing transit network, and increases transit trips beyond the Many Centers scenario (overall highest performing scenario of the three initial scenarios). Regional population during the same time period is projected to increase 40 percent.

The data also indicates that a higher percentage of people are accessing transit stations by walking/biking than by park and ride.

Over the next several weeks, staff will conduct a series of sensitivity tests to see how various operating plan and policy options could further affect home-to-work peak period transit mode share and system performance. These may include options such as increasing transit frequencies, increasing transit travel speeds, decreasing fares, testing a regional parking pricing policy, and adjusting land use assumptions around key transit corridors. Results from the sensitivity tests, as well as feedback from the Transportation Committee on network suggestions by MTS and NCTD staff, will help staff formulate and refine the transit networks to attempt to meet the mode share goals by geographic subarea. Indications from other peer cities that were evaluated as part of the Urban Area Transit Strategy show these factors can have a significant impact on transit usage.

Highway Network Similarly to the process being proposed for the transit network, SANDAG and Caltrans staffs are analyzing potential modifications to the 2030 RTP Unconstrained highway network. These modifications are based on supporting proposed transit investments in key corridors and communities while providing an adequate level of service for the overall transportation system. It is important to note that the 2030 RTP Unconstrained highway network includes an extensive Managed Lanes system that provides tremendous flexibility in serving transit and HOVs by maximizing the available rights-of-way in several of the region’s major highway corridors. The goal in reviewing the highway network is to build upon this existing plan by integrating the revised transit network into it, thereby creating the most efficient and balanced transportation system. Modifications to the 2030 RTP Unconstrained Highway Network include: • Removal of the SR 54 outer loop extension from SR 125 to Interstate 8 (I-8)2

• Removal of two HOV lanes from SR 52 from I-5 to I-805 and SR 94 from SR 125 to Avocado Boulevard

2 The City of El Cajon and County of San Diego concur with SANDAG and Caltrans’ findings that the expansion

of the SR 54 freeway between SR 125 and I-8 is not needed.

5

• Additional operational improvements to I-5 from SR 15 to I-8 and I-8 from I-5 to SR 67 and removal of two HOV lanes on I-5 and I-8 from I-5 to Los Coches3

• Removal of general purpose lane widening (two lanes) on I-5 from I-8 to La Jolla Village Drive, I-805 from Telegraph Canyon Road to I-8 and SR 52 to La Jolla Village Drive, and SR 125 from I-8 to SR 52

• Additional operational improvements on SR 76 east of I-15

Remaining congested corridors that are proposed for further study include: • SR 78 from I-5 to I-154

• I-8 from I-5 to College Avenue

Initial cost estimates for the draft 2050 RTP Unconstrained Highway network total approximately $26 to $30 billion. A map of the draft 2050 Unconstrained Highway Network is included as Attachment 5. Goods Movement The draft unconstrained goods movement system consists primarily of road and truckway projects (accommodating over 90 percent of freight by volume) that comprise the backbone of the freight distribution network. The unconstrained system outlined in the draft 2050 Goods Movement Strategy (GMS) also includes several maritime, rail, border, air cargo, and pipeline related projects. The cost to implement the unconstrained goods movement project list is estimated at $28 billion, including approximately $22 billion in highway projects already identified in the Unconstrained Highway network. Projects included in the GMS will be evaluated using updated evaluation criteria approved by the Board of Directors in June 2010. Local Streets and Roads The draft unconstrained network also includes improvements to the local streets and roads. The cost estimates for improvements to local streets and roads are currently being developed to incorporate into the 2050 RTP. San Diego Regional Bicycle Plan The San Diego Regional Bicycle Plan proposes a vision for a diverse regional bicycle system of interconnected bicycle corridors, support facilities, and programs to make bicycling more practical and desirable to a broader range of people in our region. The San Diego Regional Bicycle Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in May 2010. The cost to implement the Regional Bicycle Network is estimated at $419 million. The projects will be prioritized, using previously approved evaluation criteria, for inclusion in the 2050 RTP. The San Diego Regional Bicycle Network is included as Attachment 6.

3 In the Central I-5 and I-8 corridors, SANDAG and Caltrans staffs believe that operational improvements will

work as well or better than HOV lane improvements. The overall HOV system will still operate satisfactorily

without these segments. 4 The SR 78 Corridor Study will be initiated in late July 2010. 6

Intermodal Transportation Center The draft unconstrained network also includes improvements to intermodal transportation centers, such as Destination Lindbergh and San Ysidro. The cost estimates are currently being developed to incorporate into the 2050 RTP. Rail Grade Separations The Transportation Committee approved the Rail Grade Separation evaluation criteria in October 2009. The criteria will be used to create a prioritized list of potential grade separation projects for the COASTER, SPRINTER, and Trolley corridors within the San Diego region for incorporation into the 2050 RTP. The cost estimates for the rail grade separations are being developed. Transportation Demand Management The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program at SANDAG, known as iCommute, provides sustainable and flexible transportation options that reduce peak period traffic congestion. These programs include: vanpool, carpool, buspool, SchoolPool, Guaranteed Ride Home, telework, and bike programs, in addition to employer outreach, public education and marketing. While transportation infrastructure, land use and smart growth development patterns can take many years and resources to implement, TDM strategies are cost effective, proven methods for reducing environmental pollutants and alleviating congestion more immediately. Consequently, TDM programs are likely to play a larger role in achieving the near-term goals of the 2050 RTP. The cost of the TDM program is estimated at approximately $730 million to 2050. The iCommute Strategic Plan will refine and prioritize the implementation of the various TDM programs. Transportation System Management Our existing transportation system represents a major investment of resources over the past several decades. While the RTP identifies additional infrastructure investments needed to meet future transportation needs, it is critical that the region place an increased focus on maximizing the efficiency of the facilities already in place. SANDAG is developing a multimodal and integrated strategy for the comprehensive management of the transit, arterial, and highway networks serving both people and goods. Through a combination of programs, such as signal and ramp metering coordination and optimization; improved performance monitoring and micro-simulation; and advanced vehicle/roadside communication platforms, the delivered tools and services will increase monitoring capabilities, enhance management, and improve system efficiency. The initial estimate for the programs total approximately $700 million through 2050 and will be further refined and prioritized through the ITS Strategic Plan currently under development.

Next Steps Staff will prioritize all of the future projects in the Unconstrained Network, using Board approved evaluation criteria. Based on revenue projections, various Revenue Constrained transportation scenarios will be developed using this prioritized project list and other factors. The Revenue Constrained transportation scenarios will attempt to build and operate as much of the Unconstrained Network as possible, given revenue availability and flexibility, and project priorities. Alternative Revenue Constrained transportation scenarios will be brought back in the fall for discussion.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 10

Action Requested: APPROVE

TIGER II DISCRETIONARY GRANT SUBMITTALS File Number 7300400

Introduction

On December 16, 2009, President Obama signed into law P.L. 111-117, the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act for 2010 (FY 2010 Appropriations Act). The FY 2010 Appropriations Act allocated $600 million to be awarded by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for National Infrastructure Investments. These grants are allocated on a competitive basis for surface transportation projects that will have a significant impact on the nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. This appropriation is similar but not identical to the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grants allocated last year as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Because of the similarity of the two programs, USDOT is referring to the FY 2010 National Infrastructure Investments program as “TIGER II Discretionary Grants.” Of the $600 million available, USDOT is permitted to use up to $35 million for planning grants for the TIGER II program.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to approve the list of proposed regional project submittals for the TIGER II Discretionary Grants Program and authorize the Executive Director to provide support letters for other local agency projects that are consistent with SANDAG policies and programs.

This item summarizes the federal program and includes a list of proposed regional project submittals for Transportation Committee approval. Applications for the TIGER II Discretionary Grants program are due by August 23, 2010. The application process is expected to be highly competitive; proposals that can be implemented quickly and that best meet the program selection criteria outlined below will have the best opportunity for continuing through the USDOT evaluation process.

Discussion

TIGER II Discretionary Grant Program Guidelines and Criteria

In accordance with the notice of funding availability published on June 1, 2010, eligible applicants for TIGER II discretionary grants include state and local governments, tribal governments, transit agencies, port authorities, and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), among others. Eligible projects include highway or bridge projects eligible under title 23 of the United States Code (USC), public transportation projects eligible under chapter 23 of title 49 USC, passenger and freight rail transportation projects, and port infrastructure investments. Pre-applications for the TIGER II program are due by July 26, 2010, and final applications must be submitted to USDOT by August 23, 2010.

The guidelines specify that grants may be no less than $10 million and no more than $200 million. However, USDOT has discretion to waive the $10 million minimum grant size requirement for significant projects in smaller cities, regions, or states. No more than 25 percent (or $150 million) of the funds made available may be awarded to projects in a single state. Proposals may request funding for up to 80 percent of the project costs. TIGER II funds are available to the USDOT for obligation through September 30, 2012.

Project Selection Criteria

In accordance with the notice of funding availability, TIGER II Discretionary Grants will be awarded based on two categories of selection criteria, Primary Selection Criteria and Secondary Selection Criteria. The Primary Selection Criteria aim at fostering long-term outcomes, which include:

• State of Good Repair: Improving the condition of the existing transportation facilities and systems, with particular emphasis on projects that minimize life-cycle costs

• Economic Competitiveness: Contributing to the economic competitiveness of the United States over the medium to long-term

• Livability: Improving the quality of living and working environments and the experience for people in communities across the United States

• Sustainability: Improving energy efficiency, reducing dependence on oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and benefiting the environment

• Safety: Improving the safety of the United States transportation facilities and systems

The Secondary Selection Criteria include:

• Innovation: USDOT will give priority to projects that use innovative strategies to pursue the long-term outcomes outlined above

• Partnership: USDOT will give priority to projects that demonstrate strong collaboration among a broad range of participants and/or integration of transportation with other public service efforts

Job creation and economic stimulus continue to remain a top priority of this Administration; therefore, USDOT also will give priority to projects that are expected to quickly create and preserve jobs and stimulate rapid increases in economic activity, particularly jobs and activity that benefit economically distressed areas.

USDOT will give more weight to the Primary Selection Criteria than the Secondary Selection Criteria. Projects that are unable to demonstrate a likelihood of significant long-term benefits in any of the five long-term outcomes will not proceed in the evaluation process.

2

Cost-Benefit Analysis

In addition to the project selection criteria, projects seeking a grant must include in its application estimates of the project’s expected benefits in the five long-term outcomes listed above. Larger projects must complete a more detailed cost-benefit analysis, including a calculation of net benefits, qualitative and quantitative measurements, and consideration of externalities.

TIGER II Planning Grants and Community Challenge Grants

The FY 2010 Appropriations Act permits USDOT to use up to $35 million of the available $600 million for “TIGER II Planning Grants” and provides an additional $40 million for a separate Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Challenge Grants program. USDOT and HUD expect to award these two grant programs jointly in an effort to better align transportation, housing, economic development, and land use planning.

Specifically, the TIGER II Planning Grants may be used for planning, preparation, or design of eligible TIGER II projects. The Community Challenge Grant Program aims at reducing barriers to achieving affordable, economically vital, and sustainable communities through efforts such as amending or replacing local master plans, zoning codes and building codes, and other similar activities.

For both the Community Challenge Planning Grants and the TIGER II Planning Grants, eligible applicants must be able to provide the minimum 20 percent non-federal match of funds, and be able to initiate eligible planning activities within 120 days of the effective date of the grant award. There is no minimum grant size, but the maximum award for any project is $3 million. Pre- applications are due July 26, 2010. Final applications must be submitted to USDOT by August 23, 2010.

Proposed Regional Project Submittals

TIGER II Discretionary Grants

Based on the criteria and guidelines set forth in the TIGER II Discretionary Grant program, with special attention given to the stringent project delivery timelines, staff recommends submitting two proposals for consideration by USDOT. Two regional project submittals are proposed (not in order of priority):

Barrio Logan Port Access Improvements Project – This project would improve goods movement between the Port of San Diego marine terminals and the adjacent highway system. The proposed project would include improvements at two separate sites. Site 1 (Vesta Street) would include operational improvements to the Harbor Drive/32nd Street, 32nd Street/Wabash Boulevard/Norman Scott Road, and the Main Street/State Route 15 ramp improvements. Site 2 (10th Avenue) would include improvements to the 10th Avenue Marine Terminal/Cesar E. Chavez Parkway intersection within the Barrio Logan Community and operational improvements on 10th Avenue where it intersects with the rail line and the Marine Terminal. The construction on Vesta Street to improve access to Naval Base San Diego would result in reduced delay time along this truck route. The Barrio

3

Logan improvements would help address the freight and related air quality impacts in the community in a context-sensitive manner as well as would improve truck flows to the marine terminal facilities. ($60 million)

Los Peñasquitos Bridge Replacements – This proposed project would replace three aging timber trestle railway bridges owned by the North County Transit District (NCTD) in the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) rail corridor that have reached the end of their useful life. Replacement of these bridges, which were built in the 1920s and 1930s, is necessary to support intercity, commuter, and freight rail services on the corridor. These single-track bridges must be replaced in order to maintain the railroad's reliability and safety while planning for future intercity passenger increases. These bridges currently carry an average of 44 passenger trains and four to six freight trains per day. ($19.8 million)

TIGER II Planning Grants Convention Center Platform – NCTD has envisioned a new commuter/intercity rail passenger platform to serve San Diego’s Petco Park and Convention Center for the LOSSAN rail corridor since the inception of commuter rail service in the 1990s. A feasibility study was completed in 2002 identifying preliminary locations, necessary track and signal work required, and service considerations. This proposed project would be coordinated closely with NCTD, the City of San Diego, Centre City Development Corporation, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Metropolitan Transit System, and other stakeholders to update the planning level concepts for the proposed platform, detail the rail improvements needed, identify potential multimodal connections with trolley, bus, and pedestrian improvement plans for the area, develop capital and operating cost estimates, and complete design to a 60 percent level. ($2.5 million)

Statewide Project Submittals

In addition to the regional project submittals, Caltrans has initiated a statewide application to support the implementation of positive train control (PTC). Both NCTD and SANDAG are working with Caltrans to include the LOSSAN rail corridor in the state’s PTC application.

Local Project Submittals

As described above, applicants other than MPOs are eligible to submit directly to USDOT their own proposals for TIGER II Discretionary Grants. Several local entities have expressed interest in submitting their own local applications. For projects seeking a letter of support from SANDAG, the Transportation Committee is asked to authorize the Executive Director to provide support letters for other local agency TIGER II project submittals that are consistent with SANDAG policies and programs. At a minimum (and consistent with the direction provided in the TIGER II guidelines), staff recommends that local project submittals be in the adopted Regional Transportation Plan and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program or be able to demonstrate a realistic schedule for inclusion.

Next Steps

Following Transportation Committee approval of the proposed list of regional projects, staff will initiate the necessary steps to submit the regional TIGER II Discretionary Grants project proposals to USDOT, including participating in efforts to submit statewide applications and providing letters of support for local projects upon request.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 11

Action Requested: RECOMMEND

MID-COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT PROJECT – FINAL COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES REPORT File Number 1041501

Introduction

At its July 2, 2010, meeting the Transportation Committee received a report on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project that summarized the outreach activities for public scoping, scoping meetings, and comments received during the scoping period for the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR). This report presents a summary of the analysis of the scoping comments and provides the basis for the recommendation on selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) and alternatives for evaluation in the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft SEIS/SEIR. A map of the alternatives carried forward for consideration at scoping is included as Attachment 1.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors reconfirm the previously adopted Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), as refined to include direct service to UCSD and University Towne Centre, by selecting Light Rail Transit (LRT) Alternative 1 (combines 1, 4, and 5) as the LPA. The Transportation Committee is further asked to recommend that the Board of Directors approve LRT Alternative 1 and the No-Build Alternative for evaluation in the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft SEIS/SEIR. The Transportation Committee also is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors approve the final Public Involvement Plan.

Discussion The Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report has been completed. In addition to the information provided in the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report, the Final Report includes a summary of the process for selection of alternatives for scoping, a summary and analysis of scoping comments, and a recommendation on selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) refined from the LPA adopted by the SANDAG Board of Directors on December 19, 2003, and alternatives for review in the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft SEIS/SEIR. Sections 8 and 9 of the Final Comparative Evaluation Report are included as Attachment 2. Section 8 presents a summary of the scoping process and a summary and analysis of scoping comments. Section 9 presents the recommended LPA and alternatives for evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR.

Scoping Comment Analysis As noted at the July 2 Transportation Committee meeting, more than 700 individual scoping comments were received. Each comment received was reviewed and considered. Comments related to the scope of the Draft SEIS/SEIR, including purpose and need, the evaluation process, costs and funding, and environmental impacts, will be addressed in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. Scoping comments regarding alternatives are addressed in the Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report. These include comments supporting or opposing one of the three LRT alignments carried forward into scoping; supporting evaluation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) alternative in the Draft SEIS/SEIR; suggesting new or revised alternatives; and supporting additional LRT stations. As noted at the July 2 meeting, approximately 100 comments supported LRT Alternative 1, while slightly more than 100 comments opposed LRT Alternative 3. There were three comments received opposing LRT Alternative 6 and no comments received specifically supporting LRT Alternative 6. There were three comments supporting evaluation of a BRT alternative in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. Four BRT alternatives were evaluated in the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report. The BRT alternatives evaluated were less effective than the LRT alternatives in improving mobility and accessibility. In addition, the BRT alternatives were far less cost-effective and financially feasible than the LRT alternatives. At its April 23 meeting, the SANDAG Board of Directors did not approve moving any of the BRT alternatives forward into scoping. As the BRT alternatives were found to be less effective than the LRT alternatives, it is not recommended that a BRT alternative be evaluated in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. There were four comments suggesting new or revised alternatives received during the scoping period. Each of these alternatives was reviewed and considered. The evaluation concluded that none of the proposed new or revised alternatives would satisfy the purpose and need for the project at less cost, with greater effectiveness, or less environmental or community impacts. As a result, none of the new or revised alternatives are recommended for further evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. There were several comments suggesting that stations be added at State Route 52, Gilman Drive, Jutland Drive, and the VA Medical Center. Each of these station locations was reviewed and considered. The station locations at SR 52, Jutland Drive, and Gilman Drive were either previously considered and eliminated or are not functional due to topography and location. For these reasons, the addition of the three station sites is not recommended. The original LPA included a station at the VA Medical Center; however, the subsequently adopted LPA eliminated this station and added the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) West station. The VA Medical Center has not been previously evaluated as an additional station, and it is recommended that the VA Medical Center station location be evaluated as an additional station location in the Draft SEIS/SEIR.

Project Working Group and Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee Review The Project Working Group (PWG) is scheduled to review the Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report and its recommendations at the working group’s July 14 meeting. Staff will provide the recommendation of the PWG to the Transportation Committee on July 16. The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) is scheduled to review the Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report at its July 14 meeting. Any significant comments received from the ITOC also will be provided to the Transportation Committee on July 16. Public Involvement Plan The draft Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Public Involvement Plan (PIP) was released for public review and comment on May 22, 2009. The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group reviewed and commented on the draft PIP at its September, October, and December 2009 meetings. The final PIP (Attachment 3) has been revised based on all comments received. All comments and responses are included in Appendix E of the final PIP. The PIP will continue to guide public involvement efforts through the development of the Draft SEIS/SEIR and other project activities. The PIP will be updated as needed. Next Steps The Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report is scheduled to be presented to the Board of Directors at its July 23 meeting. Should the Board adopt an LPA, the Preliminary Engineering Application would be prepared and submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for approval in the fall of 2010. The Preliminary Engineering Application would address the FTA New Starts Criteria and allow the project to be rated by FTA. FTA approval of the Preliminary Engineering application by November 2010 would allow the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project to be included in the FTA February 2011 Annual Report on New Starts to Congress. Preliminary Engineering would proceed once FTA approval is gained. Should the Board approve Alternative 1 and the No-Build Alternatives for review in the Draft SEIS/SEIR on July 23, development of the Draft SEIS/SEIR would proceed. The Draft document would be anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2011.

8.0 PUBLIC OUTREACH, SCOPING PROCESS, AND SCOPING COMMENTS This chapter describes public outreach and agency coordination undertaken by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) prior to and during the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) scoping process and summary and analysis of the comments received from the public and agencies during scoping. Through the scoping process, SANDAG invited all interested individuals and organizations, public agencies, and Native American Tribes to comment on the scope of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR), including the project's purpose and need, the alternatives to be studied, the impacts to be evaluated, and the evaluation methods to be used in preparation of the Draft SEIS/SEIR.

8.1 PUBLIC OUTREACH Public outreach activities were conducted before and during the scoping process for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project to ensure public awareness of opportunities to review and comment on the project. The activities included the following:

• Project briefings and presentations for key stakeholders and other interested parties in the corridor, including elected/agency officials, community groups, employers/institutions, environmental organizations, transportation advocates, and business/trade organizations;

• Developing and implementing the Draft Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Public Involvement Plan (PIP) and developing a stakeholder database;

• Establishing the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group (PWG) to provide input on the project purpose and need, alternatives for consideration in the environmental review process, the Draft SEIS/SEIR, and the Draft PIP;

• Placing scoping meeting notices in newspapers of general circulation;

• Providing key documents and public information materials in both English and Spanish;

• Posting up-to-date project information on the www.sandag.org/midcoast and www.keepsandiegomoving.com SANDAG Web sites, and publicizing via e-mail and telephone communications; and,

• Recording comments that were received at, and subsequent to, the scoping meetings through mail and email correspondence during the scoping period.

8.1.1 City of San Diego Planning Groups Informational presentations providing a summary of the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report and findings for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project were presented to community planning groups prior to and during the scoping period. The informational presentation included a review of alternatives considered, purpose and need, analysis and findings, a video of alternatives recommended for scoping, and information on the scoping period. This informational presentation was presented to University Community Planning Group on April 13, 2010. After hearing comments from the public at the meeting, the group

unanimously passed a motion to strongly support Light Rail Transit (LRT) Alternative 1 and to eliminate LRT Alternatives 3 and 6.

This informational presentation for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project was presented to the Linda Vista Planning Group on April 26, 2010. After receiving the report on the project, the Linda Vista Planning Group heard comments from the public at the meeting, but took no action on the project.

During the scoping period, the informational presentation for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project was presented to the Clairemont Community Planning Group on May 18, 2010 as an information item.

8.2 SCOPING PROCESS SANDAG issued a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for a SEIR to 120 agencies and tribes on April 28, 2010. The NOP was posted with the State Clearinghouse and the San Diego County Office of the County Clerk. All business and residential addresses located within one-half mile of the alternative alignments under consideration were sent a postcard notification of the scoping meetings. The scoping meeting invitation postcard was mailed to a total of 24,959 addresses. The project team delivered scoping meeting invitation fliers to the offices of elected officials, cities, community planning groups, and other groups located within the corridor, to increase community awareness of the project and to promote participation at the scoping meetings. Meeting notices/advertisements were published in local newspapers to announce the scoping meetings.

Five scoping meetings were conducted in the Mid-Coast Corridor, in compliance with CEQA guidelines. In total, 215 people attended the scoping meetings.

The meetings were conducted in an open house style with several stations providing information about the project. The stations included: Check-In, Project and Process Overview, Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives, Alternatives for Scoping, Public Involvement, and Comments. Project team members staffed the stations, making themselves available to answer questions about the project. A Spanish translator and materials in Spanish were also available (no attendees required translation).

In addition to the staffed stations, a video presentation ran on a loop throughout the entire open house period. The video included information and graphics about the location and characteristics of the Mid-Coast Corridor, an animated map showing the three alternatives for scoping, and a “flyover” of each alternative using GoogleEarth satellite images of the corridor.

Following are the scoping meeting dates and locations, including the number of attendees at each meeting:

8.3 Scoping Comments Comments on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project were received during the scoping period through the following methods: verbal testimony or written comment cards at the scoping meetings; and via e-mail, postal mail, and telephone correspondence. The comments covered a variety of topics and were submitted by various parties, including: agencies, community organizations, elected officials, and members of the general public.

The 30-day scoping period began on May 3, 2010 and closed on June 1, 2010. Scoping comments were accepted for one week after the close of the scoping period to account for any comments that were in the mail. In all, 244 comment submissions were received. Comment submissions included any letters, e-mails, phone calls, comment forms, or verbal comments given by an individual or an organization. In most cases, each submission included multiple comments.

The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Scoping Report (SANDAG 2010) includes all agency and public comments received during scoping. Comments were related to purpose and need, alternatives considered, the evaluation of the alternatives, costs and funding, and issues to be studied in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. Comments were categorized into six major categories and 21 sub-categories (or topics). A brief analysis of the comments by category, and their respective topics, is provided below.

8.3.1 General Comments General comments identified an overall need for improved transit service, not limited to the Mid-Coast Corridor. Suggestions included expanding transit operating hours and developing a transit policy/system that would eliminate the need for individual automobiles in the San Diego area. Other comments suggested a need for transit system improvements/features, including bathrooms and increased public art.

Several general comments pertained to the Mid-Coast Corridor. Some comments advocated for enhanced transit services to areas within the Mid-Coast Corridor not served by the proposed alternatives, including: La Jolla, Miramar, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Sorrento Mesa, Sorrento Valley, Torrey Pines, the San Diego International

Airport, Interstate 805 (I-805), I-8, and State Route 163 (SR 163). Other comments suggested serving entirely different corridors, such as I-15 or I-5 north of I-805. One comment suggested a connection between the Poway area and UCSD.

There were also several suggestions for other projects in the Mid-Coast Corridor, including: COASTER enhancements, such as double track, a tunnel, and additional stations; roadway improvements, such as a Regents Road bridge; and, pedestrian and bicycle projects at various locations. One suggestion was to add pricing to existing freeways rather than provide additional transit capacity. Another comment suggested following a systemwide approach to San Diego County’s transportation problems rather than developing an individual project.

8.3.2 Comments Related to Purpose and Need Five comments specifically were related to the project purpose and need. The comments focused on the need for connecting transit service to the project, on clarifying the nature of transit-supportive land uses identified in the purpose and need, expanding the definition of need to include additional travel markets, and clarifying what would constitute a competitive trip time. One comment questioned the need for the project and suggested the resources be directed to upgrade existing light rail transit (LRT) lines, including new elevators and the addition of restrooms.

8.3.3 Comments Related to Alternatives Comments related to the alternatives were analyzed by each of the individual topics listed below. Of the 244 comment submissions received, 177 (over 70 percent) included comments related to the technology of the alternatives. In addition to the topics listed below, there were questions about the type and location of supporting facilities and other project features, such as station parking, and the interface of the project with shuttles and other transit services. One comment noted that any alternative must meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Other comments questioned using LRT in favor of heavy rail transit (powered by an electrified third-rail) or diesel single-unit vehicles.

8.3.3.1 Bus Rapid Transit Three comment submissions by one organization requested the inclusion of a bus rapid transit (BRT) alternative in the SEIS/SEIR.

8.3.3.2 Light Rail Transit Alignments/Routes Most of the comments received for alignments/routes were supportive of LRT Alternative 1. A total of 97 comment submissions specifically supported LRT Alternative 1, while 12 comment submissions were supportive of any LRT alternative, three comment submissions supported LRT Alternative 1 or 6, and two comment submissions supported LRT Alternative 3. One-hundred and seven comment submissions were opposed to LRT Alternative 3, three were opposed to LRT Alternative 6, and two were opposed to LRT Alternative 1.

Concerns with LRT Alternative 1 were related to looping back to the south, complicating a potential future extension north. The comments that objected to LRT Alternative 3 cited the proximity to Rose Canyon Open Space Park, potential environmental effects of

the project on Rose Canyon Open Space Park and adjacent areas, and concerns with tunnel construction. The limited support for LRT Alternative 3 identified advantages associated with a potential future extension north. Other comments opposed LRT Alternative 6 because of its design or potential environmental and transportation impacts on the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center.

Several alternative alignments or project configurations were suggested, including:

• A design option to LRT Alternative 1 that would replace the UCSD West Station with a Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center Station, crossing I-5 south of Voigt Drive.

• An alignment following LRT Alternative 1, but terminating in the vicinity of the Gilman Drive/Voigt Drive intersection, along with the construction of a separate dedicated right-of way loop for rubber-tired transit that would connect UCSD, University Towne Centre (UTC), and the COASTER Sorrento Valley Station.

• An alignment following LRT Alternative 1, but extending north from the UCSD West Station through the UCSD Park north of Voigt Drive to Genesee Avenue.

• An alignment serving Pacific Beach by crossing Mission Bay on Ingram Street, rather than using the existing Metropolitan Transit System (MTS)/San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) right-of-way.

8.3.3.3 Light Rail Transit Stations Thirty-four of the comment submissions discussed stations. Many supported proposed station locations. Others suggested either eliminating or adding stations. The Executive Drive, UCSD West, and Clairemont Drive Stations were suggested for elimination. Additional stations were suggested for State Route 52 (SR 52), Gilman Drive, Jutland Drive, and the VA Medical Center. Seven comment submissions supported a station at the VA Medical Center and the SR 52, Gilman Drive, and Jutland Drive locations were each identified as potential station locations in two submissions.

Other comments related to stations included providing good non-motorized transportation access, good bus connections, park-and-ride facilities, secure bike parking, and a design that supports redevelopment in station vicinities. One comment suggested a major roadway grade-separated connection from Grand Avenue to Morena Boulevard near the Balboa Avenue Station. Increased crime and public safety near stations also was identified as a concern.

8.3.4 Comments Related to Evaluation Five comments related to the evaluation of the alternatives. The comments requested additional details on how the preliminary analysis was completed and the process used by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to evaluate New Starts projects. There were requests to change the presentation of findings, including using highly detailed maps for planning-level analysis. One comment requested that the SEIS/SEIR evaluate the competitiveness of transit travel times to drive times, another indicated concern that standard FTA user benefit calculations over-estimate the effect of transfers. One comment noted the need for complete documentation of travel forecasting methods and assumptions.

8.3.5 Costs and Funding Twenty-four submissions included comments related to costs and funding. Several comments observed cost differences between the alternatives evaluated. Multiple comments suggested reduced-rate or free fares. Highway and other funds were suggested to be redirected to transit. Other comments requested that no University of California funds be used to support the project and that the dedicated TransNet funds be redirected to other transit improvements. Other comments were concerned with the long-term project costs, considering the current economic recession. One recommendation was to accelerate the project to seek Federal funds earlier.

8.3.6 Comments Related to the Environmental Impacts Analyses Sixty-eight comment submissions included comments related to the topics listed below.

8.3.6.1 Traffic and Parking Twenty-two comments were related to traffic and parking effects during construction and operation. Comments noted the need for park-and-ride facilities to serve local demand and to intercept southbound I-5 traffic. Some comments stated that students and workers already park in residential neighborhoods and take transit to their destinations; and they were concerned that the project would increase this occurrence. Several comments related to how the system will integrate with and affect the existing bus system.

Traffic concerns included increased general traffic and congestion, loss of travel lanes, the need for transit signal priority for transit, conflicts between transit and roadway traffic in the UCSD area, and increased traffic around stations. One comment noted that local street infrastructure needs should be determined prior to selection of alternatives. Also, the need for an interface with Caltrans and project coordination with other transportation projects was noted. Comments noted that mitigation needs to be considered to facilities where the project would result in an impact.

8.3.6.2 Non-motorized Transportation Numerous comments were related to providing good pedestrian and bicycle access to the stations. Other comments requested recreational trail improvements near the project.

8.3.6.3 Land Use Land use comments included concerns with density, if it would be sufficient to support the system, and recommendations to consider transit-oriented development (TOD) potential. One comment noted an “urban farm” at UCSD for consideration during evaluation. One comment stated that general plan and municipal code requirements should be reviewed and any planned smart-growth centers should be identified.

8.3.6.4 Neighborhoods Neighborhood concerns included parking pressure from residents outside of the neighborhoods using the system, and an increase in neighborhood crime.

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T 8-7 July 2010

8.3.6.5 Safety and Security One comment requested analyzing any correlation between transit and crime and noted the San Diego Police Department’s large coverage area. Safety concerns about at-grade pedestrian track crossings, especially by students in the UCSD and University City areas also were noted.

8.3.6.6 Economic Development Comments on economic development were related to redevelopment of areas around stations. One comment noted that the long-term economic benefits of transit should be presented.

8.3.6.7 Right-of-Way Acquisitions and Relocations Opposition was voiced to the acquisition of parkland for the project.

8.3.6.8 Environmental Justice Comments included the need to consider transit access for and impacts to low-income and minority populations. One comment noted that the SEIS/SEIR should identify whether the proposed alternatives may disproportionately and/or adversely affect low-income or minority populations and document the process for community involvement.

8.3.6.9 Visual Comments included a request for renderings showing how the project will look in the UCSD area and lighting effects on surrounding uses, including wildlife. One comment related to visual effects of vehicles, guideway infrastructure, and stations and mitigation of effects on views from commercial and residential properties.

8.3.6.10 Air Quality One comment noted that the project would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project is located in an ozone nonattainment and a carbon monoxide maintenance area. One comment noted that mobile source air toxins should be addressed.

8.3.6.11 Geology One comment was received on the need to study fault crossings near proposed major structures. An assessment of the potential for earthquakes and the extent of damage to structures also was requested. Another comment was received on what other hazards would be studied and what mitigation would be required.

8.3.6.12 Noise and Vibration Several comments were related to the noise and vibration analyses. An explanation of acoustics science was requested. Other requests included measuring existing levels, and evaluating construction and future project noise generation to interior and exterior areas, including wheel squeal, track maintenance effects, and cumulative effects for at-grade and elevated guideway sections and for supporting facilities. The Balboa/Morena, La Jolla Colony, La Jolla Village Square, and University City areas were areas of concern and noise effects on wildlife in open-space areas was also a concern. Other comments were related to bus and road noise from other projects.

8.3.6.13 Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials An analysis of solid waste impacts was requested. One comment asked that the project consider green infrastructure and material reuse and recycling. One comment requested evaluating toxins and human health impacts.

8.3.6.14 Ecosystems Comments noted a need to evaluate the project as a barrier to wildlife, especially if fencing is introduced. The evaluation of habitat loss, lighting, and noise effects on wildlife was requested. One comment noted a concern that invasive species could be introduced by Trolley operations. Potential mitigation sites were noted in the Rose Creek Watershed Opportunities Assessment, if the project would result in impacts that would require mitigation. The analysis of potential temporary and long-term impacts to Least Bell’s Vireo was requested.

8.3.6.15 Water Resources Comments identified concerns with flood control, hydrology, runoff from on-site contamination, water supply, and hydraulic modeling. A stormwater impacts analysis was requested. Comments stated that functional conditions of waters and riparian areas should be evaluated. One comment noted that Section 404 of the Clean Water Act will be applicable to the project and that measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to waters should be incorporated into the project.

8.3.6.16 Parks A total of 109 comment submissions, more than for any other environmental topic, were related to parks and parklands. The comments focused on protecting and analyzing potential effects on Mandell-Weiss Eastgate City Park, Marian Bear Memorial Park, and Rose Canyon Open Space Park. Comments noted a need to address project compatibility with relevant park plans, including the Marian Bear Memorial Park Natural Resources Management Plan, the San Diego River Master Plan, and the Rose Creek Watershed Opportunities Assessment. Several comments were related to existing uses of, and resources within, the parks, including the current frequent practice of accessing the parks by illegal trespass and crossing of the existing MTS/SDNR right-of-way. Opposition to the use of the parkland was noted. The potential to affect the Mission Valley Preserve was also noted.

8.3.6.17 Historic/Cultural Resources The Native American Heritage Commission identified Native American cultural resources within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the project and commented that cultural landscapes should be considered along with other resources evaluated. Avoiding significant cultural resources, when discovered during project planning and implementation, also was suggested.

8.3.6.18 Construction Impacts Several comments noted that construction effects related to traffic, noise, access, water quality, and jobs should be evaluated.

8.3.6.19 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Comments identified a need to consider the cumulative effects of various planned projects, including the planned I-5 improvements, on the environmental topics discussed

above. One comment suggested that previous comments on the “UC North/South Transportation Corridor Project EIR” should be reviewed.

8.4 Analysis of Scoping Comments All comments received during scoping were reviewed and considered. The comments related to the scope of the Draft SEIS/SEIR, including purpose and need, evaluation process, costs and funding, and environmental impacts will be addressed in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. The comments related to alternatives under consideration are addressed in this Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report. The comments included a request to evaluate a BRT alternative in the Draft SEIS/SEIR and comments on LRT alignments and station locations. Following are the responses to the comments related to alternatives.

8.4.1 Bus Rapid Transit Comments were received on the need to include a BRT alternative in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. BRT was evaluated in the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report and the SANDAG Board eliminated it as an alternative for scoping at their April 23, 2010 meeting. The SANDAG Board decision was based on the SANDAG staff recommendation and findings that the BRT alternatives evaluated were less effective than the LRT alternatives in improving mobility and accessibility and are also less cost effective and financially feasible than the LRT alternatives. BRT also was evaluated in the Mid-Coast Light Rail Transit Extension Locally Preferred Alternative Update Summary (SANDAG 2004b), which concluded that LRT was more appropriate for the Mid-Coast Corridor. The Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report findings support the prior decision and do not indicate that changed conditions would alter the prior decision. Thus, BRT has been eliminated from further consideration in the Draft SEIS/SEIR.

8.4.2 Light Rail Transit Alignments Several comments included new LRT alignment options for consideration. The alternatives, including recommendations to carry them forward or eliminate them from further consideration, are discussed below.

• Proposed design option to LRT Alternative 1, with an I-5 crossing at Gilman Drive and a station at the VA Medical Center – This proposed design option to LRT Alternative 1, with a station near the UCSD West Campus just east of the VA Medical Center, is the alignment adopted as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in 1995. Alternative alignments to the LPA and alternative station locations at the VA Medical Center and in Pepper Canyon on the UCSD West Campus were previously evaluated in the Mid-Coast Corridor UCSD Alignment Evaluation (MTDB 2000). The Metropolitan Transit Development Board concluded that the alignments with a station in Pepper Canyon on the UCSD West Campus should be advanced for further consideration and the alignments with a station at the VA Medical Center should be eliminated. In 2004, the SANDAG Board adopted an LPA that refined the 1995 LPA with an alignment along Voigt Drive and a station in Pepper Canyon. This station location is consistent with the UCSD Long Range Development Plan (UCSD 2004a) and is included in the University Center/Six College Neighborhood Planning Study

(UCSD 2004b) adopted by UCSD in 2004. LRT Alternative 1 includes the following design measures to minimize impacts to UCSD: a below-grade alignment at Gilman Drive, an at-grade or grade separated alignment in the vicinity of the Gilman Drive/Voigt Drive intersection, and an above-grade alignment or below-grade alignment to avoid possible impacts to existing and planned sports facilities east of I-5. As a result of these considerations, the proposed alignment option is recommended for elimination as an alternative for further consideration. The addition of a station at the VA Medical Center is addressed separately under the Light Rail Transit Stations section.

• Proposed alternative to terminate the LRT line in the vicinity of the Gilman Drive/Voigt Drive intersection and construct a separate dedicated right-of way circulator loop for rubber-tired transit that would connect UCSD, UTC, and the COASTER Sorrento Valley Station – This proposed alternative (referenced by the commenter as the Blue and Gold Alternatives) would provide LRT service to a terminus station on the UCSD West Campus. It would then use a rubber-tired transit circulator system to provide connecting service via an exclusive guideway instead of mixed-traffic operations to UTC and the COASTER Sorrento Valley Station. The proposed alternative does not meet the project purpose and need because it does not provide direct service to the UCSD East Campus or UTC. The alternative requires a transfer from the LRT system to the transit circulator system. The existing SuperLoop service, which is planned for upgrade and expansion, includes transit priority at intersections and provides some of the benefits of the proposed alternative for the area south of Voigt Drive. While the proposed exclusive right-of-way loop for local transit service would provide connectivity benefits in the UCSD and UTC communities, it would require using open space and constructing elevated structures through the UCSD campus, which would be larger and more extensive than those proposed as part of some of the LRT alternatives. Furthermore, the exclusive right-of-way loop would be considered a separate project outside the Mid-Coast Corridor Project purpose and need. As a result, the proposed alternative is recommended for elimination from further consideration.

• Proposed alternative to follow LRT Alternative 1, but extend north from the UCSD West Station through UCSD Park to Genesee Avenue – This alternative proposed a station and parking facility on Genesee Avenue west of I-5 to accommodate vehicles on southbound I-5. The alternative also proposed alignment variations branching off the main alignment for service to the Sorrento Valley COASTER Station. The LPA the SANDAG Board adopted in 2003 provides for improving transit service to University City. The analysis of changed conditions did not identify a need to extend the project limits to the north of University City because a future extension to the north of University City is included as a separate project in the Reasonably Expected Revenue Scenario of the 2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (RTP) (SANDAG 2007). Furthermore, the project travel market analysis did not identify the area north of University City as a major travel market for the project. Extending the project north from the UCSD West Station to Genesee Avenue would require use of land from the UCSD Park. UCSD Park is identified in the UCSD Long Range Development Plan (UCSD 2004a) and is comprised of ecological reserve, grove reserve, and restoration land areas. The canyons north of Voigt Drive lie within an ecological reserve area. The UCSD

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T 8-11 July 2010

Long Range Development Plan identifies the ecological reserve resources within the park as being biologically sensitive, further stating that no buildings, roads, or driveways are permitted in such areas of the park. As such, the alternative would require using a resource protected by Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Act of 1966, Title 49 U.S. Code (now 23 CFR 774). Such use is only permitted if there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use. Secondly, the proposed alternative would add almost a mile of alignment, including substantial tunnel sections and elevated structure. As a result, the proposed alternative is recommended for elimination from further consideration.

• Proposed alternative to serve Pacific Beach by crossing Mission Bay on Ingram Street rather than using the existing MTS/SDNR right-of-way – This alternative proposes an alternative alignment to using the existing MTS/SDNR right-of-way and service to Pacific Beach instead of Clairemont. Because there is no existing available right-of-way, the proposed LRT alignment would have to be constructed across Mission Bay on an elevated structure for approximately 3 miles. Compared to using the MTS/SDNR right-of-way under the LRT Alternatives 1, 3, and 6, this alternative would result in additional impacts to Mission Bay Park, the San Diego River, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The alternative would also increase the project cost. As a result, the proposed alternative is recommended for elimination from further consideration.

8.4.3 Light Rail Transit Stations In addition to comments recommending LRT alignments for consideration, stations at SR 52, Gilman Drive, Jutland Drive, and the VA Medical Center were identified for consideration.

Adding a station at SR 52 was proposed; however, there would be no walk access to the station because all development within one-half mile of the station would have restricted access because of the area topography. Open space near SR 52 is parkland and any non de minimis use is precluded by Section 4(f), unless there is no feasible and prudent alternative. Therefore, it would not be possible to construct a park-and-ride in the area to serve auto commuters. Because of grade differences, it would be difficult to serve a station with buses at this location. Bus service would require widening the freeway ramp structures to provide bus stops that would be connected by elevators and stairs to a station below the ramps. Because the stops would be on freeway ramps, it would not be possible to turn-around bus service at the station. For these reasons, the proposed station location is not recommended for further consideration.

Stations at Jutland Drive and Gilman Drive were previously considered in the Mid-Coast Corridor Alternatives Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report (MTDB 1995). The SANDAG Board’s adoption of the LPA in 2003 resulted in these stations being eliminated. Pages 20 to 22 of the Mid-Coast Light Rail Transit Extension Locally Preferred Alternative Update Summary identified the changed station locations between the 1995 and 2003 LPA decisions. Because there has been no change in land use or development that would change the conditions under which they were eliminated, the stations at Jutland Drive and Gilman Drive are not recommended for further consideration.

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 2010 8-12

As identified above in the alternative alignments discussion, an alternative station location at VA Medical Center was identified for consideration. Although alternative alignments to the current LPA and an alternative station location at the VA Medical Center were previously evaluated in the Mid-Coast Corridor UCSD Alignment Evaluation (MTDB 2000) and eliminated in favor of a station location in Pepper Canyon on the UCSD West Campus, the VA Medical Center Station was not evaluated as an additional station with the UCSD West Station. Therefore, it is recommended that a station location at the VA Medical Center be considered during preparation of the Draft SEIS/SEIR.

9.0 RECOMMENDED LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE AND ALTERNATIVES FOR EVALUATION IN DRAFT SEIS/SEIR This chapter summarizes the comparative evaluation of alternatives and scoping process results and presents the recommended Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) and alternatives to be evaluated in the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR).

9.1 Summary of Results The comparative evaluation of alternatives conducted for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project considered a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Alternative, seven light rail transit (LRT) alternatives, four bus rapid transit (BRT) alternatives, and a Commuter Rail Alternative. Based on the evaluation results described in Chapter 6.0 of this Final Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report, three alternatives were recommended to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board of Directors (Board) for presentation at California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) scoping: LRT Alternatives 1 (combined LRT Alternatives 1, 4, and 5), 3, and 6. The three LRT alternatives effectively meet project goals, improve regional mobility, are cost effective or near cost effective, and are anticipated to be competitive for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) New Starts funding.

The remaining LRT alternatives (LRT Alternatives 2 and 7) were recommended for elimination from scoping. While similar, LRT Alternative 2 was found to be higher in capital costs, lower in user benefits, and lower in cost effectiveness than LRT Alternative 1. LRT Alternative 7 was found not to be as effective as the other LRT alternatives, as evidenced by ridership, user benefits, and travel time savings, and would not provide direct service to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) West Campus, which is an important project goal.

It also was recommended that the TSM Alternative, all four of the BRT alternatives, and the Commuter Rail Alternative be eliminated from further consideration as build alternatives. Compared to the LRT alternatives, these alternatives were not as effective in meeting the project goals or in improving regional mobility and accessibility. Also, they were not cost effective and were unlikely to be competitive for FTA New Starts funds.

On April 23, 2010, the SANDAG Board approved LRT Alternatives 1 (combining LRT Alternatives 1, 4, and 5), 3, and 6 to be carried forward for consideration at scoping for the Draft SEIS/SEIR. The scoping period extended from May 3 through June 1, 2010.

As identified in Chapter 8.0 of this report, public comments during the scoping period were overwhelmingly in favor of LRT Alternative 1 (combined LRT Alternatives 1, 4, and 5) and opposed to LRT Alternative 3, with an alignment along the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS)/San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) railroad right-of-way through Rose Canyon. Less than five comments supported LRT Alternatives 3 and 6, the BRT alternatives, or some other alternative not previously evaluated. The consideration of alternatives not previously considered included a qualitative review, which concluded that

none of the new alternatives proposed during scoping would satisfy the project purpose and need at less cost, with greater effectiveness, or less environmental or community impacts. The only refinement to the alternatives suggested during scoping, and recommended to carry forward for further study during preparation of the Draft SEIS/SEIR, is the consideration of an additional LRT station at the Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center.

The findings of the Draft Comparative Evaluation of Alternatives Report and information provided by the public or agencies during CEQA scoping support reconfirmation of the previously selected LPA, as revised.

9.2 Recommended LPA and Alternatives for Evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR Based on the results of the comparative evaluation of alternatives and consideration of comments received during scoping, it is recommended that the previously adopted LPA, as refined to include direct service to UCSD and University Towne Centre (UTC), be reconfirmed by selecting LRT Alternative 1 as the LPA for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. It also is recommended that LRT Alternative 1 and the No-Build Alternative be carried forward for evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR. LRT Alternative 1 received strong public support during the scoping process and the MTS Board voted unanimously to support the alternative. LRT Alternative 1 includes three alignment options in the vicinity of Voigt Drive, which will allow for the selection of a specific alignment to avoid potential environmental impacts that may be discovered during the environmental review process.

Elimination of LRT Alternatives 3 and 6 from further consideration is recommended based on the additional information and comments received during the scoping period. Elimination of LRT Alternative 3 is recommended because of public opposition and comments about potential environmental impacts to Rose Canyon. Although this alternative would maximize using the MTS/SDNR right-of-way and provide more direct service to UTC, LRT Alternative 3 had the highest potential for significant biological impacts. Further, LRT Alternative 3 was analyzed in the previously adopted Mid-Coast Corridor Alternatives Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report (AA/DEIS/DEIR) (MTDB 1995a) and it was eliminated after completion of the environmental review process due to concern regarding many of the same potential impacts identified during the recent scoping process. In addition, the California Department of Fish and Game raised concerns during scoping regarding the potential for LRT Alternative 3 to adversely impact California gnatcatcher habitat located within the canyon near Thornton Hospital on the UCSD East Campus. Based on these reasons, elimination of LRT Alternative 3 is recommended.

Elimination of LRT Alternative 6 is recommended because its performance is not significantly distinguishable from LRT Alternative 1 and its impacts are potentially greater. MTS raised concerns regarding the tight curves through an alignment section that could result in noise and additional maintenance. The California Department of Fish and Game raised concerns regarding potential adverse impacts on California gnatcatcher habitat located within the canyon near Thornton Hospital. In addition to these concerns, LRT Alternative 6 would result in elimination of a through-traffic lane on Executive Drive and potential impacts to access to private property. The Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, which has its main entrance on Executive Drive, raised this concern. The primary benefit of LRT Alternative 6 is the avoidance of impacts to Voigt Drive. However, an

alternative that avoids affecting Voigt Drive is incorporated into LRT Alternative 1 and its variations (LRT Alternatives 1, 4, and 5). Based on the concerns raised during scoping, the similarities in environmental consequences and performance of LRT Alternatives 1 and 6, and the strong support for LRT Alternative 1, elimination of LRT Alternative 6 from further consideration is recommended.

The No-Build Alternative is required to be included in the SEIS/SEIR in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and CEQA requirements. The No-Build Alternative will serve as a baseline in assessing the environmental impacts of the build alternatives evaluated in the SEIS/SEIR.

9.3 Description of Alternatives for Evaluation in the Draft SEIS/SEIR The No-Build Alternative and recommended LPA are described in this section. This alternatives description is subject to refinements during preliminary engineering and Draft SEIS/SEIR evaluation.

9.3.1 No-Build Alternative The No-Build Alternative includes all of the highway and transit facilities identified in the Revenue Constrained Scenario of the 2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future (RTP) (SANDAG 2007). Figure 9-1 shows the following major projects included in the RTP Revenue Constrained Scenario that are located within the Mid-Coast Corridor and are part of the No-Build Alternative background transportation network. The major RTP improvements that are included in the No-Build Alternative are:

• Double tracking of SDNR railroad and other rail improvements with an increase in frequency of service of the COASTER to 20 minutes during peak and 60 minutes during off-peak periods.

• High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on Interstate 5 (I-5) from I-8 north to Oceanside, with direct access ramps (DARs) at various locations, of which the DAR at Voigt Drive would be located within the Mid-Coast Corridor. The HOV lanes would be restricted to vehicles with two or more occupants.

• Combination of HOV and Managed Lanes on I-805 from I-5 to South Bay, with DARs at Carroll Canyon Road and Nobel Drive.

The Mid-Coast Corridor No-Build Alternative transit system is shown in Figure 9-2. The regional transit system consists of MTS and North County Transit District bus, light rail, and commuter rail services that are projected to be operating in 2030. UCSD operated shuttle services also are included in the No-Build Alternative transit system.

The Mid-Coast Corridor LRT project included in the RTP Revenue Constrained Scenario is excluded from the No-Build Alternative in order to represent conditions in the corridor without the LRT project. Excluding the Mid-Coast Corridor LRT project from the No-Build Alternative would require more direct transit service between Downtown San Diego, Old Town Transit Center (OTTC), and University City.

To replace the loss of service under the No-Build Alternative, the existing transit Route 150, operating between Downtown San Diego, OTTC, and University City, is included in the alternative. The existing Route 150 was eliminated in the RTP Revenue Constrained Scenario with the inclusion of the Mid-Coast Corridor LRT line. Under the No-Build Alternative, the route would be modified to operate within the proposed HOV lanes on I-5 from OTTC north to Nobel Drive. This HOV lane operation modification would improve travel times over the existing Route 150 operation in the I-5 general-purpose lanes north to Gilman Drive. The modification of the route to exit the HOV lanes at Nobel Drive instead of at Gilman Drive would increase the route’s utilization of the HOV lanes and improve travel times over the Gilman Drive routing. The new Route 150 would operate at 15-minute intervals during peak periods (i.e., 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.) and 30-minute intervals during the off-peak and the midday period (i.e., 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). Articulated buses would be used in the operation of the service. The route assumes a fixed fare of $2.50 per one-way trip.

The No-Build Alternative also includes improvements to the Trolley system. As shown in Figure 9-3, the Trolley Green Line would be extended from OTTC to the 12th and Imperial Transit Center via the Convention Center. Other changes to the Trolley system include terminating the Trolley Blue Line at Santa Fe Depot and the Trolley Orange Line at America Plaza. All Trolley lines would be operated at 7.5-minute frequencies all day except the Trolley Orange Line, which would operate at 7.5 minutes during peak and 15 minutes during off-peak periods.

9.3.2 Recommended LPA The recommended LPA is a refinement of the LPA options the SANDAG Board adopted in 2003. The recommended LPA (Figure 9-4) would extend the Trolley system from OTTC north via the existing MTS/SDNR right-of-way and I-5 corridor to the UCSD West Campus, and then east along one of the following three alignment options to a terminus at the UTC Transit Center:

• An at-grade alignment on Voigt Drive and an aerial alignment on Genesee Avenue;

• An aerial alignment along the south side of Voigt Drive and on Genesee Avenue; or,

• An at- and below-grade alignment south of Voigt Drive and an aerial alignment on Genesee Avenue.

The recommended LPA would add eight new LRT stations located at Tecolote Road, Clairemont Drive, Balboa Avenue, Nobel Drive, UCSD West, UCSD East, Executive Drive, and the UTC Transit Center. An additional station location at the VA Medical Center also will be considered during the Draft SEIS/SEIR.

9.3.2.1 Alignment and Station Locations The recommended LPA proposes the use of the existing LRT tracks from Santa Fe Depot north to a point just south of San Diego River where the alignment would cross the San Diego River on a new LRT bridge located parallel to and east of the existing railroad bridge and west of the existing Trolley Green Line LRT bridge. After crossing the river, the LRT alignment would continue north next to the existing SDNR tracks to the proposed at-grade station at Tecolote Road (under the existing Tecolote Road overcrossing). The

Tecolote Road Station would be located on City of San Diego right-of-way, directly under the Tecolote Road overcrossing, just south of Tecolote Road and west of West Morena Boulevard. The station would include a parking lot.

North of the Tecolote Road Station, the LRT alignment would continue along the east side of the existing SDNR tracks to the proposed at-grade station at Clairemont Drive, which would be partially located below the Clairemont Drive overcrossing. A joint-use parking facility on the east side of Morena Boulevard is being considered.

The LRT alignment would then continue north to the proposed Balboa Avenue Station, which would be at grade south of Balboa Avenue. This station would include transfer facilities for feeder bus routes and a parking lot located immediately east of the station.

North of Balboa Avenue, the alignment would be located along the east side of the existing SDNR tracks, generally within the existing MTS/SDNR right-of-way. South of the SR 52, the LRT alignment would transition to an aerial structure in order to cross over to the west side of the SDNR tracks, allowing the LRT alignment to continue north along I-5, while the SDNR tracks head east to Genesee Avenue.

North of SR 52, the LRT alignment would leave the MTS/SDNR right-of-way and travel along the east side of I-5, crossing under La Jolla Colony Drive in a cut-and-cover tunnel. North of the cut-and-cover tunnel, the LRT alignment would continue along the east side of I-5, generally within or adjacent to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) right-of-way and transition to an aerial structure in order to cross I-5 south of Nobel Drive. The aerial structure would continue north along the west side of I-5 to an aerial station at La Jolla Village Square (Nobel Drive Station). A joint-use parking structure is proposed at this station, which would replace the parking spaces lost with the aerial guideway and transit station. Continuing north from the Nobel Drive Station, the alignment would remain in an aerial configuration along the west side of I-5 until returning to grade just north of the I-5/La Jolla Village Drive interchange.

North of La Jolla Village Drive interchange, the alignment would proceed at grade along the west side of I-5 and east side of the VA Medical Center. The recommended LPA includes consideration of a station at the VA Medical Center. North of the VA Medical Center, the LRT alignment would enter a cut-and-cover tunnel and cross under Gilman Drive and the surface parking lot located north of Gilman Drive. North of the tunnel, the alignment would enter Pepper Canyon and continue at grade along the bottom of the canyon to the UCSD West Station, which would be at grade.

At-Grade Alignment Option on Voigt Drive After exiting the UCSD West Station, the LRT alignment would enter a short tunnel, turn east, and surface in the median of Voigt Drive. Currently, Voigt Drive does not have a median. In order to accommodate the LRT in the median, Voigt Drive would be widened and realigned. Once on Voigt Drive, the alignment would run at grade in the center of the roadway, crossing over I-5 on the reconstructed Voigt Drive overcrossing that is being proposed as part of the I-5 North Coast Project. The I-5 North Coast Project proposes to lower the elevation of the Voigt Drive overcrossing, add north facing DARs in the center of the overcrossing, realign Voigt Drive to connect to Genesee Avenue, and realign Campus Point Drive to connect to Voigt Drive. The at-grade UCSD East Station

is proposed to be located in the median of Voigt Drive, just west of the realigned Campus Point Drive.

The LRT alignment would continue at grade to Genesee Avenue, where it would turn south and transition to an aerial structure just before the intersection of Genesee Avenue and Regents Road. The LRT movements through the Voigt Drive intersections with realigned Campus Point Drive and Genesee Avenue would be traffic signal controlled. The LRT alignment would continue south in an aerial configuration to the proposed Executive Drive Station and UTC Transit Center Station. The Executive Drive Station would provide drop-off and pick-up access only, while the UTC Transit Center Station would include opportunities for a shared parking facility with the Westfield UTC shopping center. Both stations would have aerial platforms. This option would have a total length of 10.94 miles.

Aerial Alignment Option along the South Side of Voigt Drive From the UCSD West Station, the LRT alignment would enter a cut-and-cover tunnel segment just north of the station and exit the tunnel along the south side of Voigt Drive. The alignment would immediately transition to an aerial structure along the south side of Voigt Drive and travel adjacent to the eastbound lanes of Voigt Drive, crossing over Gilman Drive, I-5, and the proposed future Voigt Drive DAR. The aerial alignment would continue east to the aerial UCSD East Station. The UCSD East Station would be located east of the realigned Campus Point Drive.

From the UCSD East Station, the LRT alignment would continue in an aerial configuration crossing the UCSD East Campus parking lots, Regents Road, and southbound lanes of Genesee Avenue. The aerial LRT alignment would then continue south in the median of Genesee Avenue to aerial stations at Executive Drive Station and UTC Transit Center. This option would have a total length of 10.88 miles.

Alignment Option South of Voigt Drive The UCSD West Station would be located slightly south of the station site described for the other options. After exiting the UCSD West Station, the LRT alignment would enter a short tunnel, turn east, and quickly ascend to grade and then onto an aerial structure to cross both Gilman Drive and I-5. The LRT alignment would descend back to grade near the south end of the existing baseball diamond parking lot and continue east, where the alignment would transition to a cut-and-cover configuration to cross the planned future soccer fields and the realigned Campus Point Drive, as proposed by the I-5 North Coast Project.

East of the realigned Campus Point Drive, the LRT alignment would transition to an at-grade configuration and enter the UCSD East Station, which is proposed to be located in the southeast quadrant of the re-aligned Voigt Drive and Genesee Avenue intersection, but outside of the Voigt Drive right-of-way.

After exiting the UCSD East Station, the LRT alignment would travel parallel to Genesee Avenue and transition to an aerial configuration prior to crossing Regents Road and entering the median of Genesee Avenue. The aerial alignment would then continue south in the median of Genesee Avenue to the Executive Drive and UTC Transit Center Stations. This option would have a total length of 10.82 miles.

9.3.2.2 Operating Plan A conceptual operating plan has been developed for the recommended LPA for ridership forecasting and capital and operating cost estimating purposes. Hours of service would be similar to those operated on the existing Trolley Blue, Green, and Orange Lines. Weekday LRT service in 2030 would operate every 7.5 minutes during peak periods (i.e., 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.) and the off-peak midday period (i.e., 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). The fare structure would be the same as the No-Build Alternative.

The proposed recommended LPA operating plan for the recommended LPA provides for the extension of the Trolley Blue Line to University City (Figure 9-5). The plan provides for the operation of a single line operating from the existing San Ysidro/International Border Station on the south to the proposed UTC Transit Center Station in University City, with stops at all 29 intermediate stations. By extending the Trolley Blue Line to University City, LRT would be able to connect the major travel markets in University City with Downtown San Diego and South San Diego and South Bay without a transfer in downtown. This direct connection is particularly important in serving home-to-college trips because UCSD is located in University City and a large percentage of the trips to the university originate in the travel markets to the south of Downtown San Diego. The recommended LPA would also provide direct service between University City and Uptown, as well as areas of Mission Bay to the west and Clairemont to the east. The major travel market of Mission Valley would be served by a transfer to the Trolley Green Line at OTTC.

With the new LRT service, the service provided by Route 150 operating between Downtown San Diego and University City would be duplicated and therefore, eliminated. In addition to these modifications, several other routes would be modified to improve access to the proposed LRT stations. The frequency of service for the connecting bus routes would also be modified to improve the transfer of passengers between the bus and LRT system.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) have initiated the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR) for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project in San Diego, California. The FTA is serving as lead agency for purposes of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental clearance and SANDAG is serving as lead agency for purposes of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental clearance. The requirements and guidance for public involvement during the development of the environmental document are described in the NEPA and CEQA guidelines. Additional public involvement guidance is provided in the Federal Highway Administration/Federal Transit Administration Interim Policy on Public Involvement. The SEIS/SEIR will build upon previous transit planning, engineering, and environmental studies completed for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. These studies will be incorporated, by reference, into the SEIS/SEIR. Coordination with the agencies responsible for approving or permitting the project and public involvement have been an on-going part of the planning and environmental review process since the inception of the Mid-Coast Corridor project planning. The goal of the Mid-Coast Corridor Public Involvement Plan is to foster a public involvement process that will support the development of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. This public involvement plan will build upon the coordination and public involvement that was initiated during the previous planning and environmental review for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project conducted in 1995 and 2001. In addition to the public involvement addressed in this plan, the project will also include public agency coordination as part of the environmental process, as outlined in the Final Agency Involvement Plan.

1.1 Project Overview and Background The Mid-Coast Corridor starts at Downtown San Diego, extending to the existing Old Town Transit Center (OTTC) north to North University City, as shown in Figure 1-1. The corridor is entirely within the City of San Diego and includes the following communities: University City, including North University City and South University City; La Jolla; Clairemont Mesa; Pacific Beach; Mission Beach; Linda Vista; Old Town; Midway; Middletown; Little Italy and Downtown San Diego. The Mid-Coast Corridor features a variety of physical terrains. A narrow coastal beach extends the entire length of the corridor. Mission Bay Park lies immediately north of the Interstate 8 (I-8) freeway and west of the Interstate 5 (I-5) freeway, at the southern end of the corridor. Many inland areas, particularly in the northern portion

of the corridor (north of State Route 52 or SR-52), have steep hillsides and narrow canyons. A number of large, environmentally sensitive lands are also present within the corridor, including: the Rose Canyon Open Space Park, Mission Bay Park, San Diego River Park and the Marian Bear Memorial Park. The corridor is characterized by a variety of land uses, including commercial, office, residential, recreational, and educational land uses. Major employment and retail centers are located in University City and Clairemont. Light industrial uses are located along the I-5 Freeway corridor, and single- and multi-family housing units are found throughout the corridor. Key employment and activity centers, located within or adjacent to the corridor include: • The Golden Triangle; • The University of California San Diego (UCSD), the University of San Diego (USD), and

Mesa College;

• Westfield University Towne Centre (UTC), La Jolla Square Shopping Center, Mission Valley shopping centers, the Fashion Valley Mall and Horton Plaza;

• The Veterans Administration, Scripps Memorial, Scripps Green, and UCSD Thornton

Hospitals;

• The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Gateway, Qualcomm, General Atomics, the Neurosciences Institute, Novartis, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography;

• Sea World, Old Town State Park, and Mission Bay Park; and

• Downtown San Diego. The original Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), which was adopted by the Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) in 1995, combined with revisions that were approved by the SANDAG Board in 2003, comprise the current LPA, which extends the existing trolley system from downtown to the existing OTTC north to UCSD and the Westfield UTC shopping center, in North University City. The LPA would provide connections to other high capacity transit and commuter lines. Connections to the San Diego Trolley Blue and Orange Lines would be provided at Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego. The LPA connection to the San Diego Trolley Green Line, which serves population and employment centers east of the OTTC in Mission Valley, would be provided at OTTC and stops between OTTC and Santa Fe Depot. Connections to the Coaster would also be provided at OTTC and Santa Fe Depot. The LPA and possible variations identified in response to changed conditions in the Mid-Coast Corridor will be considered in the SEIS/SEIR. These variations may consist of alternative light rail transit (LRT) alignments, station locations, and operating plans. Modal alternatives to the LPA will also be considered following a review of changed conditions in the corridor (since the publication of the 1995 Alternatives Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report or AA/DEIS/DEIR). These alternatives will be considered and will be presented at the Scoping meetings at the beginning of the environmental review process.

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 16, 2010 4

In addition to the LPA and LRT variations, alternatives that will be developed and evaluated, leading up to Scoping for the SEIS/SEIR, are summarized below: • No-Build Alternative – This alternative will include committed highway and transit projects

that are part of the Revenue Constrained Scenario of the 2007 update to the 2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).

• Transportation System Management (TSM) Alternative – The TSM Alternative would

enhance the No-Build Alternative, by emphasizing relatively low-cost transportation system upgrades.

• Commuter Rail Alternative – This alternative would use the existing COASTER commuter

rail line in the corridor. Capital investments and operational improvements will be identified.

• Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Alternative – This alternative will use BRT or Rapid Bus to serve

activity centers along the north-south axis of the corridor. To compete successfully for the FTA New Starts funding, SANDAG will have to select a cost effective and financially strong Locally Preferred Alternative and continue to advance supportive land use policies. It will be important for the Board as well as stakeholders to use the FTA criteria when considering project alternatives.

1.2 Key Issues to Consider As the environmental review process gets underway, there are a number of issues to consider and be aware of, including: • Issues raised during prior environmental reviews

During prior environmental review processes, a number of comments were made by public agencies, community groups, interested organizations and individuals. These comments and responses are included in their entirety in the 1995 Final EIR for the Mid-Coast Corridor and the 2001 Mid-Coast Balboa Segment Final EIS. An awareness and understanding of the comments made in prior reviews is important for the current stage of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project’s development, since similar concerns may be raised during the public review of the Draft SEIS/SEIR. The issues raised in comments made in prior environmental review processes include the following:

- Other modal alternatives were not considered - Competition for service with the COASTER - Business centers along the corridor are not adequately served - Impacts to parks and open space preserves (Rose Canyon, Marian Bear Natural

Park, Tecolote Park, Mandell Weiss Eastgate City Park) - Public safety impacts - Physical impacts to neighborhoods and facilities along the route (reduced access to

facilities, noise, visual impacts) - Impacts to sensitive biological habitat and wetlands - Impacts to bicycle facilities - Impacts to vehicular traffic circulation - Impacts to public utilities - Beach communities are not served by the project - Concerns about station locations

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 16, 2010 5

- Cost effectiveness of the project • Varying levels of awareness about the project

A number of stakeholders in the corridor will have participated in past public involvement efforts associated with prior environmental reviews for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. There may be expectations about the project or assumptions based on information from these prior efforts that need to be taken into consideration. On the other hand, some members of the public will not have the same history of participation, and will need to be educated about the current process and how it relates to past efforts. Efforts will be made to communicate the current alternatives being considered and the environmental review process and how past efforts have informed the current analysis.

• Significant public interest in SANDAG’s process for development and evaluation of

design and modal alternatives Since the approval of the LPA in 1995, there has been increased public interest in and awareness of BRT. Supporters of BRT will want to ensure that it is given fair consideration in comparison to the LPA and other modal alternatives. In addition, the Independent Transit Planning Review committee recommended that a COASTER (Commuter Rail) alternative be considered in the alternatives evaluation.

• Project cost Because this is a significant public infrastructure project projected to cost more than $1 billion, the public likely will have a high interest in the project. This interest will be heightened due to current economic conditions.

• Physical impacts of project As was the case with prior environmental reviews, the public will be concerned about potential impacts from the project such as noise, visual impacts, changes to community character, station locations and access.

• Compatibility with existing and future plans The public will want to ensure that the project is compatible with existing and future plans, including existing land uses, general and community plans, and I-5 expansion plans.

• Relationship to recent State legislation State legislation addressing climate change recently has gone into effect. Most relevant to the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, SB 375 aims to limit urban sprawl and support urban, walkable developments. The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project may help achieve the goals of SB 375 by providing reliable transit that can support existing and new development patterns in the corridor.

• Biological impacts and mitigation Potential impacts to biological resources including habitat, watershed, and wetlands, as well as proposed mitigations will be of concern to the public. Areas of particular interest will include environmentally sensitive lands within the corridor, including: Rose Canyon Open Space Park, Mission Bay Park, the Marian Bear Memorial Natural Park and the San Diego River Park.

1.3 Purpose of the Public Involvement Plan

SANDAG intends to embark on a comprehensive public involvement effort to communicate information to the public and to provide opportunities for public input during the environmental review process for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. This project is a high priority for

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 16, 2010 6

SANDAG and the region, and is included in the TransNet Early Action Program. This public involvement plan outlines the means by which SANDAG will provide the public with timely information about the project, and identify issues important to the general public and stakeholders. The public involvement program for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will be wide reaching and thorough, helping SANDAG communicate important information to the public, identify and address issues throughout the process, and incorporate relevant input from affected and interested audiences. The goal of the Mid-Coast Corridor Public Involvement Plan is to foster a public involvement process that will support the development of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. This will be achieved by ensuring that the public is provided with timely and useful information about the project, given opportunities to provide public input on draft plans and environmental documents, and made aware of how their comments have been responded to and utilized in the decision-making process. These efforts will help to build and enhance public trust, understanding and confidence in the SANDAG decision making process. This public involvement plan is intended to be a “living” document. Because of the fluid nature of the public involvement process, this plan may be adjusted to respond to issues and circumstances that arise throughout the process and will also be updated at major milestones in the planning and development process.

1.4 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES FOR PUBLIC

INVOLVEMENT 1.4.1 Federal and State Guidelines and Requirements for Public Involvement

1.4.2 Environmental Justice

Consistent with the guidelines discussed above, the Public Involvement Plan will comply with the SANDAG Public Participation Plan (approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors on December 18, 2009), SANDAG Policy 25, Federal Title VI legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (as defined in Title 49, Part 37, of the United States Code), Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice, Executive Order 13166 on Limited English Proficiency, and other relevant regulations to ensure social equity, environmental justice, non-discrimination and accessibility. To ensure meaningful access to Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons, SANDAG certifies compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) “Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Persons.” The policy guidance includes a “Safe Harbor” provision where the USDOT considers the written translation of vital documents in languages other than English (for eligible LEP language groups consisting of 5 percent or more of the population) to be strong evidence of compliance with the recipient’s obligations under Title VI. Based on the Census 2000 data, Spanish is the only language in the San Diego Region that meets or exceeds the 5 percent LEP trigger. However, SANDAG will print materials (or provide translation services or bilingual representatives) in any other languages deemed appropriate by SANDAG.

In addition, proactive efforts will be made to ensure that audiences that may not traditionally participate in the transportation planning process are given the opportunity to participate. These audiences include, but are not limited to, minority groups, non-English speakers, lower income households, individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and transit riders. To reach these audiences, organizations and media outlets representing these communities will be approached to provide project information, solicit participation and input, and provide a means for communicating back with members of these communities. Participation will be encouraged via presentations to these organizations, participation in events sponsored by these organizations or targeted at these audiences, publishing articles in organizational newsletters, and publishing notices and articles in ethnic media outlets. SANDAG has identified a number of local organizations that work with or represent underserved populations in the project area. SANDAG will work with these groups to identify opportunities to communicate with or solicit input from their constituents to meet their transportation needs. Groups that will be contacted include, but are not limited to: • Asian Business Association • San Diego Hispanic Chamber of Commerce • Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce of San Diego County • Bayside Community Center • MAAC Project • Urban League • San Diego Workforce Partnership • SANDAG Accessibility Committee • Access to Independence of San Diego • City of San Diego Disabled Services Advisory Committee • AARP • Elder housing complexes • San Diego Organizing Project • Area students • Transit riders • Ethnic media • Others as identified

- Bayside Community Center - Goodwill Industries of San Diego County - UCSD - UCSD Thornton Hospital

Additional briefings will be conducted, as deemed appropriate by SANDAG.

• Convene Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group

The Mid-Coast Corridor comprises a large geographical area, and there are a number of stakeholders that are interested in the project. To help manage the effort to provide regular project updates, seek input from these numerous stakeholders, and provide regular feedback about how their input is used, a Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group will be convened.

The Working Group will serve as a forum for the exchange of information throughout the project’s development. Working with this group will provide SANDAG with an opportunity to engage in dialog with and gain input from these stakeholders at key milestones in the environmental review process. Members of the Working Group can help convey project information to a wider audience by reporting back to the constituencies they represent. While the Working Group will have no decision-making authority, it provides a venue for regular communication with the public throughout the environmental review process. All meetings will be open to the public, and meeting summaries will be documented. The Working Group Charter and Summary of Activities are attached as Appendix B.

The Working Group will be composed of members representing key stakeholder groups, and members will be identified through a nomination process. A sample application form is attached as Appendix C. Nominations will be sought from groups in specific categories. In addition, individual nominations can be submitted to SANDAG. A SANDAG committee composed of two members of the Transportation Committee and SANDAG staff will select members from the nominations received based on a number of criteria, including regional representation, community served and the commitment to regularly attend meetings. Table 4-1 summarizes the proposed membership categories and the number of Working Group seats in each category. The number of seats for each member category was chosen to provide balanced representation from the various entities and organizations in the corridor. It is recommended that the chair of the Working Group be an elected official and co-chair be a Working Group member. The chair will be selected by the SANDAG Board Chair and the Working Group co-chair will be selected by the Working Group participants. To ensure continuity, Working Group participants will be asked to commit to attend meetings throughout the environmental review process.

• Prepare Draft Notice of Preparation Distribution List

SANDAG will prepare a comprehensive distribution list for the draft Notice of Preparation. This list will include community groups, business organizations, environmental groups, transportation advocates, accessibility advocates, and residents, businesses, schools, churches, and community facilities in the corridor. Public agencies that have an interest in the project will also be included on the distribution list, as outlined in the Agency Coordination Plan. This list also will be used for distribution of future notices related to the environmental review process (i.e., Notice of Availability of the Draft SEIS/SEIR).

• Make advance preparations to conduct scoping meetings SANDAG will make all advance preparations to conduct four Scoping meetings in various locations along the corridor (Downtown San Diego, Old Town/Morena, Clairemont, University City/Golden Triangle). All meetings will be scheduled in locations that meet ADA requirements and are accessible by transit. Meetings will be scheduled at various times of the day to maximize opportunities for public participation.

4.3.2 Public Involvement During Scoping The process of determining the focus and content of the SEIR/SEIS is known as environmental scoping. Scoping helps to identify the range of actions, alternatives, environmental effects, and mitigation measures to be analyzed in depth, and eliminates from detailed study those issues that are not pertinent to the final decision on the Proposed Project. The scoping process is not intended to resolve differences of opinion regarding the Proposed Project or evaluate its merits. Instead, the process allows the public to express their concerns regarding the Proposed Project and thereby provides an opportunity for input to the environmental analysis. Scoping is an effective way to bring together and address the concerns of the public, affected agencies, and other interested parties. Members of the public, relevant Federal, State, regional and local agencies, interests groups, community organizations, and other interested parties may participate in the scoping process by providing comments or recommendations regarding alternatives to carry forward for environmental review and the range of environmental issues to be analyzed in the SEIR/SEIS. A number of efforts will be implemented during this period to expand communication about the project: • Provide public notice of the Scoping period

The public will be provided notice of the commencement of the 30-day Scoping period, opportunities for providing public comment and dates and locations of Scoping meetings in the following ways: - Public notices will run in local publications - The Notice of Preparation will be mailed to the individuals and organizations on the

distribution list and sent to the State Clearinghouse - Notices/invitations will be prepared to distribute to stakeholder groups in the corridor

so that they can share the information with their members

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 16, 2010 18

- A news release will be prepared and distributed to the San Diego Union-Tribune, community newspapers and ethnic media outlets (as detailed in the media list attached as Appendix D)

• Make Scoping Documents Available to the Public

The Notice of Preparation, Draft Public Involvement Plan, Draft Purpose and Need statement and information about the evaluation of alternatives (including those eliminated from further analysis) will be made available to the public during the Scoping period. These documents will be posted on the project Web site and made available at other public venues (SANDAG offices and public libraries in the corridor) at the commencement of the Scoping period to allow the public the opportunity to review them and provide comments during the Scoping period. Public information documents such as fact sheets, advertisements, and presentation materials will be prepared in English and Spanish.

• Schedule and conduct briefings with media To promote awareness among the media and foster accurate news coverage, one-on-one briefings with reporters covering the project will be conducted at the beginning of the Scoping period. Reporters will be briefed on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project and provided an overview of the project development milestones. A media kit also will be provided to each of the reporters.

• Issue first Mid-Coast e-blast

A Mid-Coast e-blast will be kicked-off to provide a regular vehicle for sharing new information about the project. This first issue will be distributed following the Board of Directors decision on alternatives to take into scoping and will focus on introducing the project, announcing the commencement of the Scoping period, schedule of Scoping meetings, and providing information about opportunities to provide public input on project alternatives, the scope of the environmental document and the Public Involvement Plan.

• Provide news updates for rEgion and other newsletters

A number of organizations along the Mid-Coast Corridor publish newsletters to keep their constituencies informed about issues of interest. Regular news updates about the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will be provided for publication in these organizational newsletters. Examples of newsletters to target are rEgion (SANDAG’s electronic newsletter) and publications of homeowners associations, churches, community groups and others. The first of regular news updates will be prepared during this stage to provide an introduction to the project, announce the commencement of the Scoping period, schedule of Scoping meetings, and information about opportunities to provide public input.

• Conduct Scoping meetings

SANDAG will conduct five Scoping meetings to provide information about the Project Alternatives, Purpose and Need for the project and the environmental review process. Scoping also provides an opportunity for public input on the identification of issues to be studied in the Draft SEIR. The meetings will be held in communities along the Mid-Coast Corridor: Downtown San Diego, Old Town/Morena, Clairemont, UCSD, and University City/Golden Triangle. Comment cards and a court reporter will be used at each meeting to formally record comments. All comments will be collected following the meetings and catalogued for inclusion in the Scoping summary report. SANDAG will establish protocol for how meetings, comments, and contacts are to be recorded.

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 16, 2010 19

• Prepare Scoping summary report At the conclusion of all Scoping meetings, a report including all comments received at the meetings will be prepared. Comments received will be used by SANDAG to help determine the scope of the environmental review and alternatives to be studied. This report will be made available to the public so they can review the extent of all public comments received.

A report also will be prepared with comments received on the Draft Public Involvement Plan. This summary of comments received will be used by SANDAG to update the Public Involvement Plan. This report, including responses to comments, will be made available to the public so they can be made aware about how their comments were addressed in the Public Involvement Plan. The Public Involvement Plan will be updated as needed to respond to comments received.

4.3.3 Public Involvement Prior to Circulation of the Draft SEIS/SEIR

After completion of the Scoping period, SANDAG will decide which alternatives to carry forward for detailed environmental review and will initiate the preparation of the Draft SEIS/SEIR. It also is anticipated that Preliminary Engineering on the project will begin during this period. Public Involvement efforts will focus on continued work with the Working Group, as well as efforts to communicate information about the project through community organizations and events. The following tactics will be employed during this stage to continue working with the public: • Update Informational Materials

All project informational materials will be updated to reflect any new or changed information resulting from the Scoping period. This will include updates to the project fact sheet, Frequently Asked Questions, Web site, multimedia presentation and any other materials that provide project information.

• Continue working with Working Group

Meetings will be held as needed to update the Working Group. • Begin Speakers Bureau program

To keep the local community and larger regional interests informed about the project throughout the process, a speakers bureau will be established to provide presentations to interested organizations. These presentations will serve to share information about the project and the planning and development process.

Groups that will be approached for presentations include, but are not limited to (specific stakeholders in each category are listed in Appendix A):

- Community planning groups - Community and town councils - Business organizations (e.g., San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, Golden

Triangle Chamber of Commerce) - UCSD campus groups - Major employers - Transportation Advocates (e.g., Move San Diego, San Diego Bicycle Coalition) - Environmental groups (e.g., Sierra Club, San Diego River Coalition) - Local schools

M I D - C O A S T C O R R I D O R T R A N S I T P R O J E C T July 16, 2010 20

- Area churches - Others as identified The schedule of presentations will be recorded in the Public Involvement Contacts Database. The Contacts Database will include the date, time, place, presenter, and audience of each presentation. SANDAG will proactively seek to make presentations to interested organizations in the corridor. SANDAG also will make presentations upon request from members of the community.

• Participate in community events

To reach a wider audience, project information will be provided and community input sought through participation in community events and festivals. These events may be sponsored by community groups, or could be targeted toward a specific audience, i.e., minority groups. A portable informational booth will be taken to various festivals, street fairs, etc., to share information about the project and its benefits to the Mid-Coast Corridor and the San Diego region and seek feedback from members of the public through comment cards, surveys and other means.

The PWG will lay the foundation for public involvement in future phases of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project’s implementation.

Line of Reporting The PWG will provide input to SANDAG staff on specific activities related to the development of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, as discussed in the next section. Staff will consider input from the PWG in making recommendations to the Transportation Committee. The SANDAG Board will make final decisions on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, its components, and the certification of the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR).

Responsibilities The PWG will review the project purpose and need, consideration of alternatives for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, and the Public Involvement Plan. The PWG will have an opportunity to review and comment on the public Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)/SEIR, including impacts and mitigation measures, when it is available. The information that will be presented to the PWG includes, but is not limited to, the draft Public Involvement Plan, Federal Transit Administration evaluation criteria and review process, and SANDAG evaluation of various alternatives. The PWG also will assist with associated public outreach and help inform and encourage active public participation by outside groups with which they are affiliated. The PWG will provide input to SANDAG staff and the Transportation Committee.

Membership The PWG will have up to 23 members, representing the geographic areas of the corridor and the diverse perspectives of stakeholders interested in the project. The primary membership, as well as a membership waiting list, will be approved by the SANDAG Board. The members are selected based on the review of applications submitted to SANDAG that assessed their qualifications and affiliations with representative organizations and interests in the Mid-Coast Corridor. Members do not have alternates. If a member misses three meetings in a row or four meetings over the course of one year, s/he will be replaced.

In the event that any members need to be replaced, new members will be selected from the approved waiting list by a majority vote of the PWG.

Meeting Time and Location The PWG will meet on a monthly basis, or as determined by the members of the PWG, in coordination with SANDAG staff. Meetings typically will be held on the first Wednesday of the month from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the SANDAG offices at 401 B Street in San Diego. The PWG will hold some of its meetings at other locations in the corridor.

Working Group Leadership The Chair of the PWG is appointed by the Chair of the SANDAG Board. The PWG will elect a Vice Chair from its membership by a majority vote.

Duration of Existence The PWG will complete its work with the certification of the SEIR by the SANDAG Board and the approval of the SEIS by the FTA (anticipated in summer 2011).

Brown Act and Conflict Of Interest Consistent with Government Code Section 54952(b), the PWG is subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act.

Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Working Group (PWG)

Summary of Activities

Public Involvement Plan In accordance with state and federal guidelines, a draft Public Involvement Plan has been prepared to actively involve the public in the planning and development process for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. There will be a series of public meetings and other means for involving the public by providing information on the project and receiving input at key milestones in the planning and development process for the project. The PWG will be asked to review and provide input on the draft plan to ensure that it effectively provides opportunities to involve the public in the process. Review Draft Purpose and Need Statement A draft Purpose and Need Statement has been prepared by SANDAG for presentation at the SEIS Scoping meetings. This statement will be provided to the PWG at the initial meeting. Any comments from PWG members or from the Group would need to be submitted at the official Scoping meetings. Review of Alternatives Evaluation SANDAG is currently in the process of evaluating a number of project alternatives for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. These alternatives are being evaluated against FTA cost effectiveness criteria defined in the New Starts Program. SANDAG will provide information to the PWG on the various alternatives under evaluation to fully understand how alternatives were evaluated and screened from further consideration. Review of environmental findings and proposed mitigation SANDAG will begin the environmental review process for the project with the initiation of project scoping in Spring 2010 and will prepare a draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIS/SEIR) over the following year. Information regarding the scope of the Draft SEIS/SEIR and methods of analysis will be shared with the PWG during the development of the SEIR/SEIS and comments from the PWG will be made after the public Draft SEIR/SEIS is available for review.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 12

Action Requested: RECOMMEND TransNet ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION PROGRAM: FY 2010 LAND MANAGEMENT GRANTS File Number 3002700 Introduction The TransNet Extension Ordinance contains a provision for funding to assist land managers in the region to maintain the existing habitat to help implement regional habitat conservation planning. As part of this effort, the SANDAG Board of Directors has established a competitive grant program for land managers wishing to implement eligible habitat management activities as determined by the SANDAG Board. On September 25, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a process and criteria for funding eligible land management activities under the TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP) for FY 2010. A copy of the process and ranking criteria is provided as Attachment 1. The process and criteria did not significantly change from the past three grant cycles. A total of $2.085 million was made available for land management activities related to: (1) invasive species control, (2) post-fire wildfire recovery, (3) habitat restoration, and/or (4) access and litter control.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors (1) approve the prioritized list of land management projects and funding allocations (Attachment 2), and (2) authorize the Executive Director to enter into agreements for the selected grants in the proposed allocations totaling $2.085 million under the fourth cycle of this grant program.

Discussion Pursuant to Board approval, a “call for projects” was issued on November 27, 2009, and on February 5, 2010, 24 applications totaling more than $7.085 million were received. All of the projects’ proposed activities related to one or more of the four eligible activities. The call for projects stated that projects that are not ready to start within 12 months of approval by the SANDAG Board would not be eligible for this funding cycle. The work proposed under one of the applications had already received funds from a previous TransNet EMP grant, and the work is currently underway by the County of San Diego. This application was dropped from consideration due to the proposed duplication of effort.

The remaining 23 projects have been discussed and ranked in priority by an ad hoc evaluation committee made up of members from the EMP Working Group (EMPWG) and three outside advisory members consisting of two SANDAG consultants working on regional coordination of land

management and monitoring, and Commissioner Scott Peters, Vice Chair of the Port of San Diego, who provided oversight on the process and discussion.

The ad hoc evaluation committee recommendations were discussed and supported by the EMPWG on May 11, 2010, and the Regional Planning Committee on June 4, 2010. The list of grant applications will be reviewed by the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) on September 8, 2010, to review the projects for consistency with the TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program eligibility requirements as established by the Board of Directors.

Projects that are not recommended for funding, or that have been recommended for less funding than the requested amount, will be encouraged to resubmit for the FY 2011 grant funding cycle. The prioritization and recommendations are provided as Attachment 1. All of the applications are available in PDF format on the SANDAG FTP site, which is located at ftp://ftpx.sandag.org/sandag/pub/EMP_FY2010/.

Next Steps

The recommendation of the Transportation Committee will be forwarded to the SANDAG Board of Directors for consideration on September 24, 2010. The ITOC will discuss the grants at its September 8, 2010, meeting. If approved by the SANDAG Board, the Executive Director would be authorized to enter into grant agreements to begin funding projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION PROGRAM (EMP) FY 2010 LAND MANAGEMENT GRANTS –

PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS

Program Description

The TransNet Extension Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, as approved by the voters on November 2, 2004, includes an Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP). The EMP is a funding allocation category for the costs to mitigate habitat impacts for regional transportation projects. The EMP is a unique component of the TransNet Extension in that it goes beyond traditional mitigation for transportation projects by including a funding allocation for habitat acquisition, management, and monitoring activities as needed to help implement regional habitat conservation plans. On September 25, 2009, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved land management and monitoring activities and a budget for FY 2010. The Board approved $2.085 million for land management projects related to (1) Invasive Control, (2) Fire Recovery, (3) Habitat Restoration, and (4) Access Control/Management and Garbage Removal. Eligible Projects SANDAG has allocated $2.085 million to address invasive species control, recovery and protection of resources damaged by the recent wildland fires, restoration of degraded habitat areas, and management to preclude damage caused by human use. This is especially critical due to the potential for the establishment of invasive species in areas burned by the 2007 wildland fires, and the need for protection of areas during the period in which they naturally recover from the burns. It is envisioned that the $2.085 million would be part of a multi-year strategic approach that includes one or more of the following activities:

1. Invasive Control – Projects that reduce existing or emerging invasive species that threaten

endangered and/or other sensitive species.

2. Fire Recovery – Projects that promote natural recovery of post-burn areas such as erosion control features (e.g., silt fences), fiber rolls or straw wattles, straw or wood chip mulching, hydro-seeding and hydro-mulching, the strategic identification of potential target areas for restoration efforts, and preparing plant materials for current and future restoration activities.

3. Habitat Restoration – Projects that engage in active habitat restoration on post-burn and

other degraded habitat lands to promote recovery of native vegetation communities and/or threatened, endangered, and other sensitive species habitat.

4. Access Control/Management and Garbage Removal – Projects that control access to

managed trails and enforce legal use of the open space areas to allow these areas to recover as soon as possible to their pre-burn conditions. This includes signage (both interpretive and cautionary), education, patrolling public use, and law enforcement. In addition, efforts to remove garbage in existing preserve systems to allow habitat areas to recover would also be eligible activities.

3

Projects that are not ready to start within 12 months of submission of the application to SANDAG will not be eligible for this funding cycle. Projects approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors for funding, that do not start within one year, will be at risk of losing their funding. Process for Allocating the Funds SANDAG will accept project proposals from land managers in San Diego County that will benefit regional conservation planning under the Natural Communities Conservation Planning Program. The applicant must own the land, or be designated to manage the land by the land owner by contract or other written form of legal documentation. The land must be conserved as open space for natural resources. Representatives of the land owner and land manager must be identified on the application form and be authorized in writing to enter into a contract agreement with SANDAG. Applicants must complete a Grant Submission application (Attachment 2) that does not exceed 12 pages. The proposal will include the purpose of the project, the scope of work, timeline, and costs. Applicants must clearly identify their proposed tasks in the scope of work, funding requested for each task, start and end dates of the tasks, and deliverables. Applicants are encouraged to identify phasing in their proposal in case full-funding for the project is not available. All project proposals will be reviewed for eligibility, ranked, and prioritized as described below. A list of recommended projects will be submitted for consideration to the Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP) Working Group and the Regional Planning Committee (RPC), and the projects are subject to approval by the SANDAG Board of Directors. Successful applicants will then be required to enter into a contract with SANDAG for grant funding. Successful applicants will be required to submit quarterly reports on their progress and a final summary report of the project’s contribution to promote habitat conservation in the region along with the final invoice. Who Will Score The Projects? An evaluation committee will be made up of EMP Working Group members and/or other qualified individuals who do not have an affiliation with any of the proposed projects. The committee will include people with knowledge of the regional preserve system and land management.

July 16, 2010 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 13

Action Requested: RECOMMEND

2010 TransNet PLAN OF FINANCE UPDATE File Number 1500100

Introduction

The TransNet Plan of Finance is updated on an annual basis, or more frequently as circumstances arise. The Board of Directors approved the last Plan of Finance update in March 2009. On July 2, 2010, staff updated the Transportation Committee on the major revenue, budget, and cash flow assumptions used in the 2010 TransNet Plan of Finance update, noting any significant differences from 2009. Staff also reported on the results of two initial scenarios: (1) a Baseline scenario that addresses the near-term cash flow needs to keep the existing TransNet Early Action Program (EAP) projects on their current schedules; and (2) an initial Robust scenario that would advance to construction (prior to FY 2018) several projects currently under development in key EAP corridors and prepare new “shovel-ready” projects. The Transportation Committee discussed these two initial scenarios and supported moving forward with a Robust scenario that would enable advancing additional projects in the EAP corridors.

Recommendation

The Transportation Committee is asked to recommend that the Board of Directors (1) approve the 2010 TransNet Plan of Finance update, which incorporates the proposed projects in the revised Robust scenario (Attachments 4); (2) authorize the Executive Director to amend the FY 2011 SANDAG Budget to incorporate the new capital projects; and (3) approve revision to the set-aside of federal and state discretionary funding for the TransNet Early Action Program from 94 percent to 90 percent. These actions will support the pending issuance of $300-$350 million in long-term fixed rate debt.

Since the July 2 meeting, staff has made refinements to the “Robust” scenario, and this report includes a summary of the projects proposed to be advanced along with the additional bonding that would be needed during FY 2011 to meet projected cash flow needs. This item will be presented to the TransNet Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) on July 14, 2010. Any comments received from the ITOC will be presented to the Transportation Committee on July 16, 2010. Discussion

TransNet Early Action Program

The current TransNet EAP (Attachment 1) includes the development of the Interstate 15 (I-15) Managed Lanes and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service; widening of State Route 76 (SR 76);

State Route 52 (SR 52) widening and extension; implementation of the Mid-Coast Corridor, SuperLoop, and Mid-City Rapid transit projects; and Trolley vehicle and station upgrades along the Blue and Orange Lines. The EAP also includes environmental efforts for the Interstate 5 (I-5) North Coast Corridor, including high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and environmental and design efforts for the Interstate 805 (I-805) corridor and implementation of the South Bay BRT service. In July 2009, the Board of Directors approved programming $70.4 million of TransNet funds for the design of seven projects in the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) coastal rail corridor, design of HOV lanes in the I-5 North Coast corridor, and design of guideway, a direct-access ramp and station, and HOV lanes on I-805 and along State Route 94 to support the South Bay BRT service. The objective was to replenish the number of shovel-ready projects, to enable the region to capitalize on future funding opportunities.

Analysis of 2010 Plan of Finance Update

The last Plan of Finance update approved in March 2009 enabled SANDAG to meet the near-term cash flow needs of the TransNet EAP and the Board’s objectives to make early progress on constructing major corridor projects and to develop the next list of ready-to-go projects. The 2009 update enabled completion of all EAP construction projects by FY 2016. As part of the 2010 Plan of Finance update, staff has evaluated a Baseline scenario that would keep all existing EAP projects on their current schedules and an additional scenario that would advance several additional projects in the EAP corridors. More details about the major assumptions used for the 2010 update are provided in Attachment 3, which includes a summary of projected sales tax revenues, state and federal matching revenues, program costs, and the proposed revision to cost assumptions for the I-5 North Coast Corridor (discussed with the Transportation Committee on July 2). With the 2010 update, we have continued to see declines in construction costs, which have led to significantly lower bid prices on several key EAP project construction contracts. In addition to cost adjustments to the current EAP projects, these trends have led to a substantial revision to the cost escalation assumptions for this 2010 Plan of Finance update and present the Board with a unique opportunity. The decline in project costs has helped offset the reduction in sales tax revenue. The chart shown in Attachment 2 indexes the costs and revenues to 2005 and tracks their cumulative growth rates through 2017. In addition to these recent trends (costs falling more rapidly than revenues), the chart shows that staff is expecting the cumulative rate of growth in sales tax revenue to outpace the increase in construction costs. This general trend (revenues rising faster than costs) is not unusual coming out of a recession as price pressures are kept at bay while the economy struggles to put idle resources back to work and get back above prerecession levels of economic production and output. The chart suggests that for a short period of time (about five years) the purchasing power of the TransNet program would increase, providing an opportunity to advance the planning and construction schedule of additional projects without jeopardizing the financial feasibility of the remaining projects.

2

Baseline and Revised Robust Scenarios Working with our financial advisor, staff has evaluated two Plan of Finance scenarios – a Baseline scenario and a revised Robust scenario: Baseline Scenario – The Baseline scenario evaluated in the 2010 Plan of Finance update would enable the current EAP projects to be completed by FY 2016 (same as 2009 update). To meet near-term cash flow needs for the Baseline scenario, SANDAG would need to obtain bond financing of approximately $100-$110 million in FY 2012 and $160-$170 million in FY 2014. The program balance at the end of the 40-year program is projected to be approximately $400 million (in 2009 dollars). For comparison purposes, the 2009 Plan of Finance update projected a negative cash flow would occur in FY 2036, resulting in the assumption that $1.3 billion in additional funding (in 2008 dollars) would need to be identified to keep the 40-year TransNet program whole. The substantial decline in construction costs, as reflected in the 2010 Plan of Finance update, presents a unique opportunity. Based on the analysis to date, the TransNet program would have the capacity to advance additional EAP projects to construction, while keeping the 40-year program whole (without the need to identify additional matching funds in the future). Revised Robust Scenario – Staff also has evaluated a revised “Robust” scenario, which would advance additional projects to construction as well as prepare the next list of shovel-ready projects – allowing the region to capitalize on opportunities presented by the current financial and construction market conditions. The additional projects included in this scenario continue to focus on the approved EAP corridors, and they reflect the Board’s priorities for project readiness – putting resources on projects that are “ready to go” to construction, funding the next phase of work for corridor projects the region has started, and thinking longer-term by starting environmental and design work for future opportunities. The proposed projects also are consistent with the current 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), reflecting progress on the projects the RTP anticipated would be completed by the interim year 2020. Like the Baseline, the revised Robust scenario would enable the current EAP projects to be completed by FY 2016. This scenario also would advance to construction several projects under development in the LOSSAN rail corridor and allow for the completion of the environmental phases and design of other LOSSAN corridor projects. Also proposed would be various construction projects in the I-15 Corridor to support the I-15 BRT service and replacement of the Nordahl Bridge; construction of HOV lanes in the I-805 Corridor (North and South segments); and construction of HOV lanes and related improvements in the I-5 North Coast Corridor (Attachment 4). To take advantage of the low cost of construction marketplace, the revised Robust scenario would advance nearly $1.2 billion in project costs prior to FY 2018 in comparison with the Baseline scenario. To meet near-term cash flow needs for this revised Robust scenario, SANDAG would need to obtain bond financing of approximately $300-$350 million in FY 2011 and $900-$950 million in FY 2013. The analysis shows that at the end of the 40 years, the TransNet program would be kept whole, demonstrating that all the Major Corridor projects included in the Extension Ordinance could be completed by the program’s end.

Sensitivity Analysis for I-5 North Coast Corridor – As discussed with the Transportation Committee on July 2, when compared with other potential EAP projects that could be advanced to construction, the I-5 North Coast Corridor project has significant risks that could impact the project delivery schedule; these schedule risks include the improvements needed across multiple coastal lagoons and securing necessary permits from the California Coastal Commission. Caltrans released the draft environmental document for the I-5 North Coast Corridor on July 9, and the construction schedule should be better detailed once the environmental phase is complete. While there are potential risks as the project moves through the environmental process, with funding and permits it is estimated the initial two HOV lane construction phase could be opened to the public by 2014. In addition to serving commuter and local trips in the region, the I-5 corridor is a lifeline for the Southern California/Baja California region, providing a critical link for commercial vehicles traveling between the U.S./Mexico border area and the greater Los Angeles basin. To identify the possible effects a schedule delay could have on near-term financing needs, staff conducted a sensitivity analysis that assumes completion of construction of the I-5 North Coast Corridor HOV lanes and related improvements after FY 2018. This analysis shows that a project schedule delay would reduce the FY 2011 borrowing need from $300-$350 million to $250-$300 million. To take advantage of historically low fixed rate borrowing costs and current construction market conditions, staff recommends sizing the FY 2011 bond issuance in the $300-$350 million range. If delays to project schedules occur that would affect the cash flow assumed in the 2010 Plan of Finance update, additional design projects could be advanced similar to the Board’s action in July 2009 to prepare the next round of ready-to-go projects. In addition, the annual updates to the Plan of Finance provide the opportunity to review the ongoing project budget and cash flow needs and adjust any future financing plans. ITOC Comments – At its June 28, 2010, meeting, the ITOC supported moving forward with the Robust scenario, noting that the current financial and construction market conditions provided a unique opportunity to advance projects at lower costs. The ITOC focused its comments on the capacity for project delivery; the Committee requested that SANDAG and Caltrans evaluate using design-build, design-sequencing, and private sector staffing as necessary to help deliver projects under the aggressive delivery schedules for the Robust scenario. SANDAG and Caltrans District 11 have had a long history of using consultants in the development of major TransNet projects and have had experience with alternative project delivery methods, including the use of design sequencing on the I-15 and SR 76 corridors. Both agencies are continuing to work together to evaluate which TransNet projects would make good design-build candidates.

Next Steps If the Transportation Committee recommends approval of the 2010 TransNet Plan of Finance update, final action would be scheduled for the July 23, 2010, Board of Directors meeting. Upon Board action on the 2010 update, staff would amend the FY 2011 Budget to incorporate the new capital projects in the revised Robust scenario, including detailing the multi-year revenues, expenses, and schedule by phase. Draft and final bond documents would be presented to the ITOC, Transportation Committee, and Board of Directors in the fall to enable a bond issuance by the end of the calendar year. In addition, an amendment to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program would be brought to the ITOC and Transportation Committee in the fall to program the TransNet funding and federal and state matching funds for the approved projects.

2010 TransNet Plan of Finance Update Major Assumptions

Projected Sales Tax Revenues – The recession that began in December 2007 resulted in downward trends in taxable retail sales from which TransNet revenues are derived. In January 2010, the Board of Directors approved a 10 percent reduction to the FY 2010 TransNet sales tax revenue estimates, compared to actual FY 2009 receipts, making it the third year in a row of revenue declines. For FY 2011, a 1.87 percent increase in TransNet revenue is projected.

SANDAG staff expects a modest economic recovery over the next few years, with net job growth of 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent (an increase of approximately 6,000 to 12,000 local jobs). The unemployment rate is expected to begin to decline slowly beginning in the second quarter of 2010, reducing by one percentage point by the end of 2010. The anticipated slow rate of economic growth nationally and locally during the year, setting the pace of the recovery for the next few years, is reflected in our local sales tax revenue forecasts. During FY 2015, our sales tax revenue estimates are expected to exceed the level reached during 2007 prior to the start of the recession. The overall revenue growth rates assumed in the 2009 and 2010 Plan of Finance updates are summarized in Table 1, below.

State and Federal Matching Revenues – The amount of state and federal funds assumed for the Early Action Program (EAP) are based on committed funds to date, including the current Regional Transportation Improvement Program period (FY 2009 to FY 2013). For future years, SANDAG estimated federal, state, and local transportation funds based on historic experience. The 2010 Plan of Finance revenue assumptions for future years are consistent with the draft 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (2050 RTP) revenue estimates that are currently under development. Current Board policy directs 94 percent of all discretionary state and federal formula funds1 to support the TransNet EAP, and the remaining 6 percent of these funds for non-EAP projects, such as the transportation demand management (TDM) and transportation systems management (TSM) programs.

1 These revenue sources include the State Transportation Improvement Program, Proposition 1B State-Local Partnership

Program, Regional Surface Transportation Program, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding program. The

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding also has been dedicated to fund EAP projects.

8

As required by Senate Bill 375 (Steinberg, 2008), SANDAG must develop a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) as part of the 2050 RTP. The SCS must meet certain greenhouse gas emission targets established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), or SANDAG must prepare an Alternative Planning Strategy to meet the CARB targets. The initial greenhouse gas target-setting scenarios tested to date have shown that TDM and TSM measures could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the region. With the 2010 Plan of Finance update, staff evaluated other funding ratios that could continue to provide sufficient funds to support the TransNet EAP as well as provide opportunities to advance the region’s TDM and TSM programs. Staff recommends revising the commitment of discretionary state and federal funds for the TransNet program from 94 percent to 90 percent, thereby increasing the state and federal funds available for the region’s TDM and TSM programs. The draft 2010 Plan of Finance assumes 90 percent of all discretionary state and federal revenues for the TransNet program. Program Costs – For TransNet EAP projects, SANDAG works with our project partners to update the Capital Improvement Program project costs and schedules as part of the annual SANDAG Budget. These revised and more detailed costs and schedules are used for the EAP projects, while the non-EAP project costs use the rates of change in costs shown below in Table 2. With the approval of the FY 2011 Budget in May 2010, the Board of Directors approved several budget changes, which are reflected in this year’s Plan of Finance update. After a period of unprecedented high rates of growth in construction costs from 2004 to 2007, we have seen an equally unprecedented decline in construction costs during the last two years (see Caltrans Construction Index chart below). This decline has resulted in lower costs for several EAP projects. Going forward, additional declines in construction costs are anticipated during FY 2011, and then costs are expected to begin to escalate and return to typical annual escalation rates of 3 percent by FY 2015. The escalation rates assumed in the 2009 and 2010 Plan of Finance updates are shown in Table 2, below:

Proposed Revision to Cost Assumptions for the I-5 North Coast Corridor – Except for construction projects currently underway, costs for typical TransNet projects are based on the original budget contained in the TransNet Extension Ordinance, updated to current year dollars, and then escalated to the year of construction based on projected construction escalation rates. As a project progresses from planning and environmental stages to preliminary engineering and design, cost estimates are updated as additional information is gathered and the project’s scope is refined. These updated estimates are evaluated as part of the annual budget and Plan of Finance updates.

10

At the June 18 Transportation Committee meeting, Caltrans provided a status report on the I-5 North Coast Corridor project, which extends 27 miles from La Jolla Village Drive in San Diego to Vandegrift Boulevard in Oceanside. Caltrans is finalizing the project’s draft environmental document and expects to release it in early July. The draft document includes four possible build alternatives, all of which would include the construction of a four-Managed Lane (ML) facility in the median of I-5. The alternatives differ in their assumptions for additional general purpose lane widening, and whether they include either a concrete barrier separating the ML from the general purpose lanes or a four-foot painted buffer separation.2 For the I-5 North Coast Corridor, the TransNet Extension Ordinance assumed a $1.2 billion cost (in 2002 dollars), which when escalated to 2009 would result in a $1.7 billion cost estimate. As part of the environmental phase, Caltrans has prepared updated project cost estimates, and due to the complexity of the proposed improvements in the coastal corridor, the updated estimates are significantly higher than the original 2002 estimates. The four build alternatives range between $3.3 billion and $4.4 billion in estimated costs. To reflect these more up-to-date estimates in the 2010 Plan of Finance, staff proposes to assume a $3.3 billion cost estimate for the I-5 North Coast Corridor project, which is consistent with the lowest cost of the four build alternatives included in the draft environmental document. This higher project cost estimate has been assumed in both the Baseline and revised Robust scenarios. The initial evaluation shows that the higher estimate would not significantly impact the affordability of the overall TransNet program.

2 The four alternatives include: (1) 8 general purpose lanes plus 4 buffer-separated 4 ML; (2) 8 general purpose lanes plus

4 barrier-separated ML; (3) 10 general purpose lanes plus 4 buffer-separated 4 ML; and (4) 10 general purpose lanes plus

4 barrier-separated ML.

2008 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (RTIP) AMENDMENT NO. 23 REGIONAL EMISSIONS ANALYSIS AND MODELING PROCEDURES

BACKGROUND

The federal Clean Air Act (CAA), which was last amended in 1990, requires the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. California has adopted state air quality standards that are more stringent than the NAAQS. Areas with levels that exceed the standard for specified pollutants are designated as non-attainment areas.

The U.S. EPA requires that each state containing non-attainment areas develop plans to attain the NAAQS by a specified attainment deadline. These attainment plans are called State Implementation Plans (SIP). The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) prepares the San Diego portion of the California SIP. Once the standards are attained, further plans—called Maintenance Plans—are required to demonstrate continued maintenance of the NAAQS.

SANDAG and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) must make a determination that the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) conform to the SIP for air quality. Conformity to the SIP means that transportation activities will not create new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay the attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.

On November 30, 2007, the SANDAG Board made a finding of conformity of the 2030 RTP: Pathways for the Future and the 2006 RTIP Amendment No. 9 and adopted the plan. The U.S. DOT made its conformity determination on December 10, 2007.

On July 25, 2008, the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP. On November 17, 2008, the U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for the 2008 RTIP and a conformity redetermination for the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan: Pathways for the Future.

On January 22, 2010, the SANDAG Board adopted the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 16 and its conformity finding. The U.S. DOT made a finding of conformity for this amendment on February 19, 2010.

SANDAG was requested to amend the 2008 RTIP to incorporate the addition of a project in the City of San Marcos (SM44) which is described in detail in Attachment 2.

The San Diego region attained the federal One-Hour Ozone Standard in 2001. The U.S. EPA redesignated the San Diego air basin as attainment/maintenance and approved the One-Hour Ozone Maintenance Plan as a SIP

28

revision, effective on July 28, 2003. On June 15, 2005, the U.S. EPA revoked the federal One-Hour Ozone Standard after the Eight-Hour Ozone Standard became applicable for conformity.

On April 15, 2004, the EPA designated the San Diego air basin as nonattainment for the 1997 Eight-Hour Ozone Standard. This designation took effect on June 15, 2004. Several areas that are tribal lands in eastern San Diego County were excluded from the nonattainment designation. As shown in Figure 2, La Posta Areas #1 and #2, Cuyapaipe, Manzanita, and Campo Areas #1 and #2 are attainment areas for the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS.

The air basin was initially classified as a basic nonattainment area under Subpart 1 of the Clean Air Act and the maximum statutory attainment date for the Eight-Hour Ozone Standard was set as June 15, 2009. However, EPA, in response to a court decision, on January 16, 2009, proposed that, among other areas of the country, the San Diego basic nonattainment area will be reclassified as a Subpart 2 moderate nonattainment area, with a maximum statutory attainment date of June 15, 2010. Final EPA action on this proposed reclassification is yet to be taken.

In cooperation with the San Diego APCD and SANDAG, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) developed an Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan which was submitted to the U.S. EPA on June 15, 2007. The budgets in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008.

The San Diego region also has been designated by the U.S. EPA as a federal maintenance area for the Carbon Monoxide (CO) standard. On November 8, 2004, the ARB submitted the 2004 revision to the California SIP for CO to the U.S. EPA. Effective January 30, 2006, the U.S. EPA has approved this maintenance plan as a SIP revision.

TRANSPORTATION CONFORMITY: MODELING PROCEDURES

Introduction

The 2008 RTIP, including Amendment No. 23, is consistent with the 2030 RTP: Pathways for the Future. As a financially constrained plan, the 2008 RTIP only contains those major transportation projects listed in the Revenue Constrained 2030 RTP. Chapter 4 of the 2008 RTIP includes a detailed discussion on fiscal constraint. Conformity of the 2030 RTP expires on December 10, 2011. However, to comply with the transportation conformity rule standards which require a redetermination of conformity within two years of new budgets, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved a redetermination of conformity of the 2030 RTP: Pathways for the Future in conjunction with the 2008 RTIP on July 25, 2008. The 2008 RTIP is being amended to include an additional capacity increasing project and the SANDAG Board of Directors will be asked to approve the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and make a conformity determination for the RTIP and re-determination for the RTP on July 23, 2010. Table 3 to Table 5 include the conformity analysis for both the 2008 RTIP as amended and the 2030 Revenue Constrained RTP.

Growth Forecasts

Every three to five years, SANDAG produces a long-range forecast of population, housing, and employment growth for the San Diego region. The most recent is the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, which was accepted by the SANDAG Board on February 26, 2010 for planning purposes. The 2050 Regional Growth

29

Forecast also will be utilized in the development of the 2050 RTP which is anticipated to be adopted in summer 2011.

The forecast process relies on three integrated forecasting models. The first one, the Demographic and Economic Forecasting Model (DEFM), provides a detailed econometric and demographic forecast for the entire region. The second one, the Interregional Commuting Model, provides a forecast of commuting between the San Diego region, Orange County, southwest Riverside County, Imperial County, and Tijuana/Northern Baja California. The third one, the Urban Development Model, allocates the results of the first two models to subregional areas based upon the current plans and policies of the jurisdictions.

In April 2010, SANDAG consulted with the San Diego Region Conformity Working Group (CWG) on the use of the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast for the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP conformity redetermination. Previously, both U.S. DOT and U.S. EPA concurred that approved plans should be used as input in the air quality conformity process. Figure 1 and Table 1 show the regional population, jobs and housing growth forecast for the San Diego region through 2050.

The 2050 Regional Growth Forecast is based largely on the adopted general plans and community plans and policies of the 18 cities, and in some cases includes draft plans which are nearing completion. Because many

30

of the local general plans have horizon years of 2030 –twenty years before the 2050 Growth Forecast horizon year- the later part of the Forecast was developed in collaboration with each of the local jurisdictions through an iterative process that allowed each city to provide their projections for land uses in those later years. For the unincorporated area, the forecast is based on the County’s Referral Alternative draft of the General Plan update, with additional constraints included for sensitive habitat areas.

The 2050 Growth Forecast incorporates new data from the recent economic downturn and is the first forecast to be prepared under the guidelines of Senate Bill (SB) 375. SB 375 calls for housing all of the region’s population within the region, rather than relying on interregional commuting patterns to help accommodate future growth. Current economic conditions have resulted in lower projected population and employment numbers as compared to the previous forecast (Table 2).

Transportation Modeling

SANDAG follows a widely used, four-step transportation modeling process of trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and assignment to forecast travel activity in the San Diego region. After a first pass through the four steps, a feedback process is used to pass congested travel conditions back into trip distribution and through to assignment. After several feedback iterations, a final pass is made through the mode choice and assignment steps to reflect congested travel conditions in mode decision making. Travel model results then are combined with additional post-process input and output functions to form the complete modeling chain. For the first time, a truck model is run parallel to the four-step model and truck origin-destination trip tables are merged with vehicle trip tables for highway assignment and air quality procedures.

The estimates of regional transportation-related emissions analysis meet the requirements established in the Transportation Conformity Rule, Sections 93.122(b) and 93.122(c). These requirements relate to the procedures to determine regional transportation-related emissions, including the use of network-based travel models, methods to estimate traffic speeds and delays, and the estimation of vehicle miles of travel.

TransCAD 5.0 is the transportation planning computer package used by SANDAG to provide a framework for performing much of the computer processing involved with modeling and is used for the trip distribution and assignment steps. Another software package used extensively in the modeling process is ArcInfo. This geographic information system (GIS) maintains, manipulates, and displays transportation, land use, and demographic data. SANDAG has written numerous programs that provide a linkage between TransCAD and ArcInfo. Other custom programs perform some modeling functions such as trip generation and mode choice.

A number of data files and surveys are used to calibrate the transportation models. These include:

31

1995 and 2006 Travel Behavior Surveys

2001 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey

2001-2003 San Diego Regional Transit Survey

External Trip Surveys (2006 Interregional Travel Behavior Survey)

Traffic Generation Studies

1991 San Diego Visitor Survey

2000 Census Transportation Planning Package

2010 Gateway Forecast; 2002 Freight Analysis Framework

In addition to model parameters derived from these surveys, there are three major inputs to the transportation models:

Growth forecast inputs used to describe existing and planned land use patterns and demographic characteristics;

Highway networks used to describe existing roadway facilities and planned improvements to the roadway system; and

Transit networks used to describe existing and planned public transit service.

Highway Networks

The regional highway networks in the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP include all roads classified by local jurisdictions in their general plan circulation elements. These roads include freeways, expressways, conventional state highways, prime arterials, and selected major streets. In addition, some local streets are included in the networks for connectivity between zones.

The route improvements and additions in the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP are developed to provide adequate travel service that is compatible with adopted regional policies for land use and population growth. All regionally significant projects are included in the quantitative emissions analysis. These include all state highways, all proposed national highway system routes, all regionally significant arterials, and all Federal Highway Administration functionally classified "Other Principal Arterials."

The networks also account for programs intended to improve the operation of the highway system, including high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and ramp metering. Existing and proposed toll facilities also are modeled to reflect time, cost, and capacity effects of these facilities. The State Route (SR) 125 South, SR 11, and SR 241 are the only modeled toll facilities included in Revenue Constrained Plan for the San Diego region.

In addition, several managed/HOV lanes are included in the Revenue Constrained Plan. Facilities with proposed managed lanes include Interstate 5 (I-5), I-15, I-805, and SR 52. Managed lanes are defined as reversible HOV routes and HOV routes with two or more lanes in the peak direction. It is assumed that the excess capacity not utilized by carpools and transit on these facilities would be managed so that single occupant vehicles could use these lanes under a pricing mechanism. Traffic flows would be managed so that the facility would operate at level of service D or better.

Based on the networks and programs described above, the transportation forecasts of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP differentiate between eight highway modes:

drive alone non-toll

32

drive alone toll

shared-ride non-HOV/non-toll

shared-ride HOV/non-toll

shared-ride HOV/Toll

light heavy duty

medium heavy duty

heavy heavy duty SANDAG maintains a master highway network from which a specific year network, between the years 2008 (the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast base year) and 2030, can be built. Three networks were built and verified (2010, 2020, and 2030) for air quality conformity analyses of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP. A list of the major highway and near-term regional arterial projects included in the conformity analysis, and their implementation phasing is included with the draft Air Quality Conformity Determination. The Transportation Project Evaluation Criteria and Rankings are included in the 2030 RTP. Locally funded, regionally significant projects also have been included in the air quality conformity analysis. These projects are funded with TransNet funds, a 20-year, half-cent local sales tax for transportation that expires in 2008; TransNet Extension funds, a 40-year, half-cent local sales tax extension approved by voters in 2004 that expires in 2048; and other local revenue sources.

Transit Networks

SANDAG also maintains transit network datasets for existing and proposed transit systems. Most transit routes run over the same streets, freeways, HOV lanes, and ramps used in the highway networks. As a result the only additional facilities that are added to the transportation coverage for transit modeling purposes are:

trolley and commuter rail lines

streets used by buses that are not part of local general plan circulation elements

There are seven transit modes, which group routes with similar operating characteristics. They are:

commuter rail

trolley

bus rapid transit (BRT)

rapid bus

limited-express bus

express bus

local bus

BRT service would have stations similar to commuter rail and trolleys, and operating characteristics midway between rail and bus service. BRT service would be provided by advanced design buses operating on HOV lanes, some grade-separated transit ways, and surface streets with priority transit treatments. Once TransCAD transit networks have been built, TransCAD finds minimum time paths between transit access points (TAP). TAPs are selected transit stops that are used to represent walk and auto access to the transit system. The following four sets of paths are created for modes:

33

a.m. peak-period local bus

a.m. peak-period premium service

mid-day local bus

mid-day premium service

Bus speeds assumed in the transit networks are derived from modeled highway speeds and reflect the effects of congestion. Regional and express transit routes on surface streets are assumed to operate out of congestion due to priority transit treatments. Higher bus speeds may result for transit vehicles operating on highways with HOV lanes and HOV bypass lanes at ramp meters, compared to those routes that operate on highways where these facilities do not exist.

In addition to transit travel times, transit fares are required as input to the mode choice model. TransCAD procedures replicate the San Diego region’s complicated fare policies which differ between:

buses which collect a flat fare of between $1.00 and $4.00, depending on the type of service

trolleys which, in 2008 charge $1.25 for internal downtown trips and $2.50 for all other trips, and $2.50 for all trolley trips after 2008

SPRINTER which charges $2.00

commuter rail (COASTER) which has a zone-based fare of between $5.00 and $6.50

proposed BRT routes which are assumed to charge $4.00

proposed Rapid Bus routes, which are assumed to charge $2.50

Fares are converted to 1999 dollars (consistent with household incomes from the growth forecast) and are assumed to remain constant in inflation-adjusted dollars over the forecast period.

Near-term transit route changes are drawn from the Regional Short-Range Transit Plan produced in coopera-tion with the region’s transit agencies. Longer-range improvements are proposed as a part of the RTP development and other transit corridor studies. In addition to federal and state funded projects, locally funded regionally significant transit projects have been included in the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP. These transit projects also are funded with TransNet funds or other local revenue sources. Once network coding is completed, the transportation models are run for the applicable scenarios (2010, 2020, and 2030). The air quality conformity document contains the list of major regional transit projects included in the analysis and their implementation phasing.

Trip Generation

Trip generation is the first step in the transportation modeling process. Average weekday trip ends by all forms of transportation starting and ending in each zone are estimated for ten trip types.

1. home-work 6. work-other

2. home-college 7. other-other

3. home-school 8. serve passenger

4. home-shop 9. visitor

5. home-other 10. airport

34

The model computes person trips, which account for all forms of transportation including automobiles, light duty trucks, taxicabs, motorcycles, public transit, bicycling, and walking.

The trip generation model works by applying trip rates to zone-level growth forecasts. The model calculates each of the trip ends separately, as trip productions and attractions. Trip production rates are expressed as trips per household, while trip production rates vary by trip type and structure type. Trip attractions are expressed as trips per acre of nonresidential land use or trips per household. Trip attraction rates vary by trip type and land use category. The 2050 Regional Growth Forecast was used to produce trip generation forecasts for the years 2010, 2020, and 2030. Trip generation rates were established by utilizing data from traffic generator studies and expanding rates from the 1995 and 2006 Travel Behavior Surveys and 2001 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey.

The SANDAG regional transportation model uses a relatively high trip generation rate for households (8.1 vehicle trips per day), which may account for possible increases in trip-making as new facilities are built. Also, the model accounts for travel diversion among facilities.

The model reduces future year person trips by a small amount to reflect increased use of teleworking and e-commerce. Reduction factors of 1, 3, or 5 percent were applied to selected trip purposes and land uses. Telework reduction factors depend on the likelihood the land use type would have employee categories that could feasibly telecommute. Reduction factors start in year 2020.

The truck model follows a similar process as the person model. The model computes truck vehicle trips for heavy duty trucks including light heavy duty, medium heavy duty, and heavy heavy duty trucks. The truck classifications correspond to the California Air Resources Board truck classifications used in the air quality model EMFAC. Trip production and attraction rates are expressed as trips per employee and the rates vary by employee industry category.

Trip Distribution

After trip generation, trip movements between zones are determined using a doubly-constrained, gamma-function gravity model form of the trip distribution model. Inputs to the trip distribution model include zone-level trip generation forecasts by trip type, zone-to-zone impedances, and gamma function parameters by trip type and 4D category. 4D index categories attempt to define locations by their density, diversity, and urban design characteristics. A high 4D index value represents areas that would be considered smart growth and would result in shortened trip lengths. In this way the model is designed to reflect changing trip patterns in response to the types of new development in land use scenarios. The model also modifies trip patterns as new roadways are added.

Truck trip distribution is performed in a similar manner but is used to distribute vehicle trips rather than person trips by purpose as in the person model. The truck model also uses different distribution parameters by vehicle type which are not segmented by 4D category.

The model is calibrated to match observed trip length frequencies from the 2006 Travel Behavior Survey and 2001 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey. Zone-to-zone impedances are a composite measure of peak and off-peak travel times and costs by highway, transit, and non-motorized modes.

35

Mode Choice

At this point in the modeling process, total person trip movements between zones are split into different forms of transportation by highway, transit, and non-motorized modes (bicycling and walking). Highway modes include drive alone non-toll, drive alone toll, shared-ride non-HOV/non-toll, shared-ride HOV/non-toll, and shared-ride HOV/Toll. Nine transit modes differentiate transit trips by three ride modes (rail, BRT, and bus) and three access modes (walk, drive, and drop-off). The mode choice model is designed to link mode use to demographic assumptions, highway network conditions, transit system configuration, land use alternatives, parking costs, transit fares, and auto operating costs. Trips between zone pairs are allocated to modes based on the cost and time of traveling by a particular mode compared to the cost and time of traveling by other modes. For example, vehicle trips on a congested route would be more likely to be diverted to light rail than vehicle trips on an uncongested freeway.

Income level also is considered since lower-income households tend to own fewer automobiles, and therefore, make more trips by transit and carpooling. People in higher-income households tend to choose modes based on time and convenience rather than cost. The mode choice model is calibrated using 1995 and 2006 Travel Behavior Survey trip tables by mode and income and 2001-2003 Regional Transit Survey transit trip characteristics. Regional-level Census 2000 work trip mode shares also were used to fine tune mode share estimates.

Highway and transit travel times reflect highway congestion effects from the final iteration of the feedback loop. The model produces a.m. peak, p.m. peak, and off-peak period trip tables for vehicles and transit riders. The a.m. peak period is from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning and the p.m. peak period is from 3:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon. The off-peak period covers the remaining 18 hours of the day.

Highway and Transit Assignment

Highway assignment produces traffic volume estimates for all roadway segments in the system. These traffic volumes are an important input to emissions modeling. Similarly, transit trips are assigned to transit routes and segments.

Highway

SANDAG loads traffic using the TransCAD “Multi-Modal Multi-Class Assignment” function. Before loading the traffic onto the network, the three truck modes are combined with the five passenger vehicle modes. Multi-class assignment allows SANDAG to assign the eight vehicle modes (as defined in the Highway Network section) in one combined procedure.

The highway assignment model works by finding roads that provide the shortest travel impedance between each zone pair. Trips between zone pairs are then accumulated on road segments making up minimum paths. Highway impedances consider posted speed limits, signal delays, congestion delays, and costs. The model computes congestion delays for each segment based on the ratio of the traffic volume to roadway capacity. Motorists may choose different paths during peak hours when congestion can be heavy and off-peak hours when roadways are typically free flowing. For this reason, traffic is assigned separately for a.m. peak, p.m. peak, and off-peak periods. Vehicle trip tables for each scenario reflect increased trip-making due to population growth and variations in travel patterns due to the alternative transportation facilities/networks proposed.

36

Model accuracy is assessed by comparing model estimated traffic volumes with actual traffic counts obtained through the SANDAG traffic monitoring program and Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) estimates of vehicle miles of travel (VMT).

After completing the highway assignments, additional processing is needed. Adjustments are made for calibration error volume, HOV/managed lane volume, bus volumes, hourly distribution factors, level of service (LOS), and travel time.

Transit

For transit assignment, TransCAD software assigns TAP-to-TAP transit trips to the network. Eight separate transit assignments are produced for peak and off-peak periods; walk and auto access; and local bus and premium service. These individual assignments are summed to obtain total transit ridership forecasts.

Before assigning transit trips, external transit trips coming into San Diego from outside the region need to be added to the internal transit trips estimated by the mode choice model. Currently, few transit trips enter from the north or east, however, over 20,000 transit trips cross the Mexican border each day. An external transit trip table for the base year is developed from on-board transit ridership surveys and factored to future years based on border crossing trends to account for these trips.

For accuracy, transit ridership forecasts from the transit assignment model are compared with transit counts from the SANDAG transit passenger counting program to determine whether transit modeling parameters need to be adjusted.

Some of these comparisons of model-estimated boardings with actual boardings include:

System-level boardings, which may reveal transfer rate problems and lead to changes to the transfer wait time factor in the mode choice model;

Boardings by mode, which may reveal modal biases and lead to changes in mode choice modal constants;

Boardings by frequency of service, which may show biases that lead to changes in the first wait factor in the mode choice model; and

Centre City screenline crossings, which may lead to changes in parking costs, and boardings by stop location, which may indicate problems with specific generators such as a university.

Post-TransCAD Processing

Standard TransCAD output needs to be reformatted and adjusted to be useful for emissions modeling. Several routines and computer programs have been written to accomplish the following major functions:

Correcting link-specific traffic volume forecasts for calibration error;

Adding in estimated travel on roads not in the transportation modeling process;

Computing link speeds based on corrected link volumes, highway capacity manual relationships between congestion, and speed (or signal delay);

Splitting link volumes into heavy-duty truck and other traffic to obtain speed distributions by vehicle class; and

37

Preparing a data set that contains total VMT, number of trip starts, and VMT by speed category by time of day for each vehicle class.

The travel demand modeling procedures used for the 2008 RTIP and 2030 RTP differ from previous modeling procedures in three key ways. First, a truck model is being run parallel to the four-step model for the first time. Truck origin-destination trip tables are merged with vehicle trip tables for highway assignment and air quality procedures. Second, new inputs were used, including the recently completed 2010 Gateway Forecast (a forecast of freight traffic in the region,) 2002 Freight Analysis Framework data, and the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast projections. The third difference is a 4D (density, diversity, urban design characteristics) category was used as inputs into the trip distribution model. These new inputs and procedures have contributed to changes in emissions modeling output.

Motor Vehicle Emissions Modeling

Emissions Model

In November 2006, ARB released EMission FACtors (EMFAC) 2007, an emissions inventory model that calculates emissions for motor vehicles operating in California. It is an integrated model that combines emission rate data with vehicle activity to calculate regional emissions. The U.S. EPA approved EMFAC 2007 for use in conformity determinations on January 18, 2008.

The EMFAC 2007 model supports calculation of emissions for the Burden mode. The Burden mode is used for calculating regional emission inventories. In this mode, the model reports total emissions as tons per day for each pollutant, by vehicle class, and the total vehicle fleet. The Burden mode uses emission factors that have been corrected for ambient conditions and speeds combined with vehicle activity to calculate emissions in tons per day. Vehicle activity includes the number of vehicles, daily vehicle miles traveled, and the number of daily trips.

The air quality analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP was conducted using EMFAC 2007’s Burden mode. Projections of daily regional emissions were prepared for reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and CO.

On-road motor vehicle emissions are attributed to several different processes:

Starting exhaust

Running exhaust

Idle exhaust (calculated for heavy-duty trucks only)

Resting and diurnal evaporation

Running losses

Hot soak evaporation

Emission factors vary by vehicle class, fuel usage, and technology. The fuels modeled are gasoline, diesel, and electrically powered vehicles. Technology categories can be grouped into catalyst, noncatalyst, and diesel. Thirteen vehicle classes are modeled:

passenger car line-haul vehicle

two types of light-duty trucks urban bus

medium-duty truck school bus

38

two types of light-heavy-duty trucks motorcycle

medium-heavy-duty truck motor home

heavy-heavy-duty truck Emission factors for processes that vary by temperature (i.e., starting exhaust, hot soak, and running exhaust) are broken down further by specified temperature ranges. Exhaust emission factors also are broken down by speed range.

Regional Emissions Forecasts

Regional transportation forecasts were initiated in April 2010. Output from the TransCAD model was then reformatted and adjusted to be useful for emissions modeling.

Eight-Hour Ozone Standard

Effective June 9, 2008, the U.S. EPA found the eight-hour ozone budgets included in the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County adequate for transportation conformity purposes. In April 2010 SANDAG prepared countywide forecasts of average weekday ROG and NOx emissions for 2010, 2020, and 2030 using the EMFAC 2007 model. ROG and NOx emissions are based on the summer season.

The analysis years were selected to comply with Sections 93.106(a) (1) and 93.118 (a) of the Transportation Conformity Rule. According to these sections, the first horizon year (2010) must be within ten years from the base year used to validate the regional transportation model (2008), the last horizon year must be the last year of the transportation plan’s forecast period (2030), and the horizon years may be no more than ten years apart (2020).

CO Standard

CO regional emissions were projected for 2010, 2018, 2020, and 2030 for the conformity determination of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP conformity redetermination. CO emissions are based on the winter season. Regional emissions for 2018 are interpolated.

Emissions Modeling Results

An emissions budget is the part of the SIP that identifies emissions levels necessary for meeting emissions reduction milestones, attainment, or maintenance demonstrations.

To determine conformity of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP, the plan must comply with the emission analysis described in the Regional Emissions Forecast section. Table 3 shows that the projected ROG and NOx emissions from the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP are below the 2008 ROG and NOx budgets.

Note: Emissions budgets are from the Eight-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego County, which were found adequate for transportation conformity purposes by the U.S. EPA, effective June 9, 2008.

Adjustment factors for ROG and NOx were provided by ARB to account for recently adopted emission control programs not reflected in EMFAC 2007 and other corrections. Table 4 includes the adjustment factors by analysis year.

Exempt Projects

Section 93.126 of the Transportation Conformity Rule exempts certain highway and transit projects from the requirement to determine conformity. The categories of exempt projects include safety, mass transit, air quality (ridesharing and bicycle and pedestrian facilities), and other (such as planning studies).

Table 6 illustrates the exempt projects considered in the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 Revenue Constrained RTP. This table shows short-term exempt projects. Additional unidentified projects could be funded with revenues expected to be available from the continuation of existing state and federal programs.

Implementation of Transportation Control Measures

There are four federally-approved Transportation Control Measures (TCM) that must be implemented in San Diego, which the SIP refers to as Transportation Tactics. They include ridesharing, transit service improvements, traffic flow improvements, and bicycle facilities and programs.

These TCMs were established in the 1982 SIP, which identified general objectives and implementing actions for each tactic. The TCMs have been fully implemented. Ridesharing, transit, bicycling, and traffic flow improvements continue to be funded, although the level of implementation established in the SIP has been surpassed. The list of actions that implemented the TCMs is available at SANDAG.

Interagency Consultation Process and Public Input

The consultation process followed to prepare the air quality conformity analysis for the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP complies with the San Diego Transportation Conformity Procedures adopted in July 1998. In turn, these procedures comply with federal requirements under 40 CFR 93. Interagency consultation involves SANDAG (as the MPO for San Diego County), the APCD, Caltrans, ARB, U.S. DOT, and U.S. EPA.

Consultation is a three-tier process that: 1. formulates and reviews drafts through a conformity working group

2. provides local agencies and the public with opportunities for input through existing regional advisory committees and workshops

3. seeks comments from affected federal and state agencies through participation in the development of draft documents and circulation of supporting materials prior to formal adoption

SANDAG consulted on the development of the air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP as amended and 2030 RTP at meetings of the CWG, as follows:

On April 7, 2010, SANDAG staff presented the schedule for the preparation of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and criteria and procedures to be followed for its conformity analysis. Staff confirmed that a redetermination of conformity would be done for the 2030 RTP, in conjunction with the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 for consistency purposes. Staff presented information on the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, Transportation Control Measures, the Revenue Constrained financial assumptions, latest emissions model, and public involvement and outreach.

On April 28, 2010, SANDAG released the draft air quality conformity analysis of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 to the San Diego Region CWG for a 30-day review-and-comment period. On May 5, 2010, the draft air quality analysis will be discussed at the meeting of the San Diego Region CWG, and applicable comments will be incorporated into the report.

On June 9, 2010, the draft 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and its conformity determination and the 2030 RTP conformity redetermination will be released for a public review period, which will close on July 16, 2010.

The 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 will be presented to the TransNet Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee on July 14, 2010 for input.

The SANDAG Transportation Committee will be asked to recommend approval of the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 23 and its conformity determination to the Board of Directors on July 16, 2010.

Re: 2050 Regional Transportation Plan: Draft Unconstrained Transportation

Network

Dear Honorable Members of the Transportation Committee:

Save Our Forest and Ranchlands (“SOFAR”) and the Cleveland National Forest Foundation (“CNFF”),

two organizations dedicated to progressive land use planning and the protection of vital natural

resources, are submitting comments on the Draft Unconstrained Transportation Network

(“Unconstrained Network”) for the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (“RTP”). After reviewing the

Draft Unconstrained Network, we believe that it lacks the necessary policies and investments to ensure

sustainability for the region’s long-term future. In addition, the 2050 RTP model unrealistically inflates

transit mode share projections that would occur with implementation of the 2050 RTP. Unless and until

SANDAG prioritizes transit and deemphasizes freeway and roadway projects, we must conclude that the

region will never achieve SANDAG’s purported goal of creating a “world class” transit system.

Modeling Errors

On June 23, 2010, transportation and planning experts submitted a letter to the California Air Resources

Board (“CARB”), which included an analysis of SANDAG’s proposed hybrid scenario for reducing

greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions for purposes of complying with Senate Bill 375 (“SB 375”).1

The CARB letter notes,

1 This letter, otherwise referred to as the “CARB letter” is attached for reference.

P.O. Box 779 Descanso, CA 91916

www.cnff.org info@cnff.com

This relates to Agenda Item #9 Transportation Committee July 16, 2010

1

“The ambitious transit results (of the hybrid scenario) are laudable and should be supported by

appropriate policies and investments. However based on the information presented we are concerned

that these transit goals may not be supported.”

The letter goes on to state,

“The problems noted here (within the letter) tend to overestimate auto travel and VMT, and

paradoxically may overestimate the shift to transit use. If fixed or adjusted, SANDAG would gain

confidence in its estimated GHG savings for the hybrid scenario, and better understanding of effects of

policy and investment choices on travel behavior. SANDAG could then verify its GHG reductions, and

learn more about effectiveness of current and more ambitious strategies.”

These experts make clear that deficiencies in SANDAG’s 2050 RTP modeling efforts cast doubt on the

reliability of the modeling results. Given this analysis, CNFF and SOFAR question the validity of

SANDAG’s modeling of transit mode share, cost predictions, and other results of the 2050 RTP

Unconstrained Network.

Land Use

On June 3, 2010, SOFAR and CNFF submitted a letter to SANDAG regarding the Urban Area Transit

Strategy. This letter described the importance of using appropriate land use and transportation

assumptions in order to capture the dynamic relationship between these factors. Our letter explained that

increasing densities in the urban core would change the amount and destination of transit trips which

would reduce vehicle miles traveled and further support higher density land uses. We expressed the

concern that by using the 2050 Regional Forecast as a constant in modeling land use for the Urban Area

Transit Study, SANDAG is ignoring important market shifts and demand changes that will rely on

transit infrastructure to properly function.

The CARB letter verifies this concern by questioning SANDAG’s 4-Step Model. The CARB letter

explains that the 4-Step Model, “cannot assess very well, or at all, policy questions of today.” Included

within the criticism of SANDAG’s 4-Step Model, the experts noted that it cannot answer vital questions

such as, “What do local land use details, particularly mixed uses, mean to travel behavior?”

Due to the fact that land use assumptions for the 2050 RTP cannot be properly modeled with the 4-Step

Model, we can conclude that SANDAG must change its model and modeling assumptions to ensure that

the land use and transportation factors are properly considered and that the modeling accurately reflects

the performance of the 2050 Unconstrained Network.

Furthermore, the CARB letter noted,

“For SANDAG, a fully ambitious land use would enhance its Urban and Town Center growth

strategy…to support the transit strategies discussed below and make them more realistic.”

CNFF and SOFAR concur with this conclusion, and have found that SANDAG should model more

intensive land use scenarios to enhance transit mode share. On July 13, 2010, CNFF released the

“Alternative Development Scenario for San Diego County” (“Infill Study”), which concluded that with

existing zoning there is sufficient development capacity to accommodate approximately 400,000 new

2

homes in the incorporated areas of San Diego County. The conclusions of the Infill Study are profound:

all of the region's projected housing needs for 2030 could take place as infill development (within the

incorporated cities of San Diego), and the cities would still have 170,000 additional units available for

development beyond 2030.2 The Infill Study’s conclusions are supported by current national trends in

the market demand for urban style housing in walkable neighborhoods.

If SANDAG were to use more intensive land use assumptions in its RTP modeling, the model results

would likely demonstrate increased transit use. Without increasing confidence in its modeling -- either

by using a different and up-to-date model, changing land use assumptions, or both --, key questions

about 2050 travel patterns will remain unanswered. In this regard, the CARB letter stated,

“If the shift (to transit) is overstated, SANDAG will need to concentrate more on its Urban Area Transit

Strategy in its next RTP, including redirecting or increasing revenues to expand its system.”

We cannot afford to wait for the next iteration of the RTP to fix these critical issues and make transit a

reality for the San Diego region. Given the magnitude of the financial investment and the scarcity of

funding, it is imperative that decisions pertaining to transportation infrastructure be based on sound

science. We must be accurately informed so that we can change course to ensure a more sustainable

future.

Baseline

In recent comment letters to SANDAG, SOFAR and CNFF have repeatedly noted that the “world class”

transit system proposed for the 2050 RTP will not be possible given SANDAG’s baseline (buildout of

the 2030 RTP). Transportation and planning experts have criticized SANDAG’s extensive highway

system, explaining that HOV and Managed Lanes are highway “solutions” to mobility, and that highway

expansion is known to have a direct negative impact on transit.

The CARB letter reinforces these assertions:

“SANDAG’s hybrid/ambitious scenario makes no changes to rein in suburban and interregional

highway expansion. A fully ambitious scenario would retract or scale back highway projects in

outlying areas, particularly those designed to serve interregional commuting, in favor of interior road,

transit, or walk and bicycle projects to improve accessibility to or within Urban and Town Centers.”

(Emphasis added).

Despite these conclusions, SANDAG’s staff report on the Unconstrained Network notes,

“It is important to note that the 2030 RTP Unconstrained highway network includes an extensive

Managed Lanes system that provides tremendous flexibility in serving transit and HOVs by maximizing

the available rights-of-way in several of the region’s major highway corridors. The goal in reviewing the

highway network is to build upon this existing plan by integrating the revised transit network into it,

thereby creating the most efficient and balanced transportation system.”

2 The full report is available here: http://www.transitsandiego.org/transitsandiego/pdf/Infill_Study.pdf

3

Although the staff report states that SANDAG may modify the 2030 RTP Unconstrained Highway

Network to reduce certain proposed freeway lane expansions, these changes are insufficient to ensure

that transit and transit oriented development will not be compromised by highway expansion, including

Managed Lanes projects. Indeed, the staff report finds that the Draft 2050 Unconstrained Transit

Network proposes an increase in 240 miles for the region’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, an

increase in 250 miles for Rapid Bus, yet only 78 and 100 miles for Commuter Rail/Highspeed Rail and

Light Rail Transit, respectively.

The Independent Transit Planning Review (“ITPR”) panel that reviewed the 2030 RTP noted,

“Smart Growth efforts will likely be weakened by managed lanes’ alleviation of congestion and its

encouragement of auto-oriented growth away from transit corridors.”

The CARB letter echoed this concern,

“Some of the suburban highway expansions would provide too much capacity to support more low

density, single use suburban development than SANDAG intends to be built, and might not be needed if

more of that growth were directed into Urban and Town Centers. The Route 241 toll road extension into

Orange County plus HOT lanes (Managed Lanes) on I-5 & I-15 to the north county line would promote

more interregional commuting and in no way fit with the spirit of SB 375.”

It is interesting to note that comments made by the ITPR panel nearly four years ago with regards to the

previous RTP are remarkably similar to recent transportation planning experts’ comments regarding the

2050 RTP. This demonstrates that regardless of changes that have occurred between the previous RTP

and now, the 2050 RTP currently contains many of the flaws and issues as did the previous RTP. While

the environmental review has not yet been completed for the 2050 RTP, it is likely that given its current

state, it will follow the same footsteps as the previous RTP and generate significant, unavoidable, and

unmitigable impacts in almost every environmental and social category. Despite the 2050 RTP’s many

flaws, it is not too late to amend the plan and its model, and help ensure a sustainable future for the San

Diego region.

Sincerely,

Duncan McFetridge

June 23, 2010 Mary Nichols, Chair California Air Resources Board 1001 “I” Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Analysis of SB 375 Target Scenarios prepared by SANDAG, SCAG, MTC and SACOG Dear Chairman Nichols, On behalf of ClimatePlan, please find enclosed our analyses of the SB 375 scenarios presented to ARB by the four largest Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). In order to aid the Air Resources Board in accomplishing its mandate to set regional targets, we evaluate the land use, transportation and pricing policies included in each of the MPOs’ scenarios and attempt to assess the degree to which these scenarios truly represent what is ambitious and achievable. Both ARB and the MPOs deserve to be commended for the hard work they have done over the past several months to inform this process and for their commitment to making so much detailed information about the scenarios available and accessible to the public. This rich assembly of information helps us all to assess what is possible, not just in California, but as federal energy and transportation laws are crafted, to gain a more in depth understanding of how improved transportation and land use planning can contribute to overall environmental goals. Indeed, as with so many environmental issues, California’s implementation of SB 375 will be closely watched and precedent setting. Most MPO Scenarios Underestimate Reductions, Particularly for 2035 We are encouraged by the scenarios that have been produced for this process, and they mark an historic step in envisioning a more prosperous and sustainable future. However, most of the MPO travel models do not fully account for the good work that cities and regions have already been doing, and their scenarios stop short of ARB’s ambitious achievable threshold for SB 375 targets. Most of the MPOs’ existing travel models simply were not designed to deal with GHG emissions, and they tend to underestimate the GHG reductions from smarter land use and transportation. The regions are working hard to transition to the next generation of travel models, but only SACOG’s model comes close to accounting for what is possible. Land use and transportation changes happen slowly, but the benefits accrue over time and add up to big savings in the longer term. Therefore we should see greater reductions in 2035 than 2020, and even greater reductions in 2050. The empirical evidence from across California and around the world supports this conclusion. We understand that all of the MPOs are continuing to learn what is possible as they create additional scenarios and

refine their technical analyses over the next several months and we strongly encourage you to support this process through September. We offer these analyses to help inform your efforts in this precedent setting action. We encourage you to consider us as a resource throughout the process and we look forward to working closely with you to make sure California succeeds with implementation of SB 375. Sincerely,

SANDAG (San Diego) Did SANDAG study a range of scenarios to inform what is ambitious and achievable? Summary: SANDAG’s hybrid/ambitious scenario is fairly ambitious in land use, TDM, and TSM strategies, and reports ambitious results for transit. With its hybrid scenario, SANDAG reports the potential to reduce GHGs by as much as 19% by 2035. The ambitious transit results are laudable and should be supported by appropriate policies and investments. However based on the information presented we are concerned that these transit goals may not be supported. More ambitious strategies for walk and bike, land use, and pricing, plus less road expansion in outer suburban areas, SANDAG should be able to show equal or even better GHG reductions. SANDAG examined three test scenarios, one focused on demand management (TDM), one on transit improvements, and one on pricing, each one in turn evaluated against two land use alternatives. SANDAG then created a hybrid scenario, with advice from its Board as to what to include, and this has de facto become SANDAG’s most ambitious scenario: Land Use: For SANDAG, a fully ambitious land use would enhance its Urban and Town Center growth strategy, at least for the outer years after the current housing recession has passed, to support the transit strategies discussed below and make them more realistic. San Diego’s current housing stock is comprised of about 35% attached units, with that percentage gradually increasing over time. In the past decade, attached housing units have comprised 46% of new construction. For the 2007 RTP, 71% of new housing would be attached units going out to 2020 and 80% from then until 2030 (and 91% for the decade beyond, to 2040), and ten designated Urban Centers and 34 designated Town Centers would build up by absorbing much of the new growth. This represents an ambitious assumption, and the market, land supply, and land prices seem to support these trends. SANDAG also examined an even more ambitious land use alternative, which would build out the existing eight Urban and 24 Town Centers to maximum density and put enough growth into ten designated new ones to reach at least minimum urban and town center density. This alternative would in effect accelerate attached housing unit trends and require more infill and redevelopment, and it would increase the amount of GHG reductions by about 8% for 2020 and 10% for 2035. Road Network: SANDAG’s hybrid/ambitious scenario makes no changes to rein in suburban and interregional highway expansion. A fully ambitious scenario would retract or scale back highway projects in outlying areas, particularly those designed to serve interregional commuting, in favor of interior road, transit, or walk and bicycle projects to improve accessibility to or within Urban and Town Centers. SANDAG plans to spend $21 billion for highway expansion, for 32 HOV lane, managed lane, mixed flow lane, HOT lane, toll road, and interchange projects, plus another $7 billion for arterial corridor projects, through its 2007 RTP. This represents a very aggressive highway expansion in size as well as early construction. While the Bay Area would spend more on transit than road expansion, and LA and Sacramento would spend 30%-40% more on road than transit expansion, SANDAG would spend 278% more on road expansion than transit expansion. With the addition of HOV and HOT lanes in many corridors, San Diego’s freeways will have from 14 to 18 lanes on I-5 and I-15 into North County, twelve lanes on three other freeways, and ten lanes on much of the rest of the network; in comparison, twelve-lane

Page 4 of 19

freeways are quite rare elsewhere in California, the standard for major urban freeways is eight lanes, and even the new Bay Bridge will have only ten lanes, so San Diego would build 20%-40% more capacity on its freeways than regions with much greater population. SANDAG’s county sales tax program (TransNet) expects to complete more than $7 billion of the $21 billion in highway expansion by 2014 using bonds. Arguably SANDAG would overbuild its freeways, but it does to some extent tend to locate its freeway expansion strategically in the right places, on corridors that connect its Urban and Town Centers. Nine of the HOV, managed lane, and mixed flow projects (on I-5, I-15, and Routes 56, 76, & 78 to the north, I-8 and Routes 52 & 67 to the east, and Route 125 toll road to the southeast, costing $11 billion) serve growth at the suburban edge; several of these projects are already committed, through Prop. 1B state bonds or the TransNet sales tax program, in particular the $2.5 billion managed lanes on I-5 to Oceanside and I-15 to Escondido. Some of the suburban highway expansions would provide too much capacity to support more low density, single use suburban development than SANDAG intends be built, and might not be needed if more of that growth were redirected into Urban and Town Centers. The Route 241 toll road extension into Orange County plus HOT lanes on I-5 & I-15 to the north county line (cost of $3.5 billion) would promote more interregional commuting and in no way fit with the spirit of SB375. Demand Management (TDM): The main concern about SANDAG’s TDM strategies is not how ambitious they are, but, as will be discussed below, whether SANDAG’s model would verify them as realistic if it had the capability to do so. SANDAG proposes TDM strategies that would yield 180,000 more carpool riders (144% increase), increase of 1150 vanpools (175% more than the RTP), and a 15% reduction in white-collar work trips (compared to 5% in the RTP) as part of its hybrid/ambitious scenario. These represent ambitious objectives, and would be easier to achieve with higher growth in Urban and Town Centers. System Management (TSM): SANDAG’s TSM improvements represent a reasonably ambitious TSM approach, through investments that ensure better access to areas of higher growth, and help bus as much as auto access. SANDAG lays out seventeen additional TSM improvements in the hybrid/ambitious scenario, beyond the $500 million designated for TSM improvements in its 2007 RTP, all to be built by 2020. All are auxiliary lanes or local improvements at congested locations. Four of the 17 are in suburban North County, but fifteen of the 17 directly serve Urban or Town Center access, where better accessibility and lower congestion would support compact growth. Walk & Bike: For SANDAG, a more ambitious walk and bike program would raise the overall investment in walk and bike projects to perhaps $2 billion (3.5% of the RTP), and change the focus to provide about $2 million per year for each Urban and Town Center, enough for one substantial project annually on a continuing basis (which could be supplemented with developer-built projects as well). SANDAG in its 2007 RTP proposes only $400 million investment in walk and bike projects, about 0.7% of the whole $57 billion financial plan. This is too modest an investment for walk and bike, which probably comprise at least 4% of all trips today. The hybrid/ambitious scenario would increase walk and bike trips to school by 30,000 (20%), using dedicated federal funds, and test full buildout of the regional bikeway network, which serves bicycle enthusiasts and recreational riding but does little to support more local travel by walk and bike. San Diego needs to foster walk and bike travel as real options, particularly for short local trips in Urban and Town Centers.

Transit: If SANDAG’s model provided greater confidence that a large shift from auto to transit use were realistic, the hybrid scenario would represent a very ambitious scenario. SANDAG through its 2007 RTP would invest $9 billion for major transit expansion, for three new rail/guideway corridors, grade separations and double tracking on the four existing corridors, new bus rapid transit corridors, plus the existing 120-line express and local bus system, and then consume $11-12 billion more for operating costs for the whole system going out to 2035. The light rail lines plus fifteen bus lines would run at frequencies of 10-minutes or less. This represents substantial transit service, particularly given the extensive amount of low density, single use residential and office/light industrial park territory in San Diego. The hybrid/ambitious scenario proposes to add twelve new bus lines (10%), increase frequency of light rail trains, and add park-and-ride garages, and reports that daily transit ridership increases by 123%. This is a laudable goal, but the results are not supported by the information provided, for three reasons: no revenue stream exists to fund the additional operating costs, there may not be room for 123% more riders on a transit system that expands by less than 20%, and the apparent success in shifting trips to transit may not be all that it seems because of quirks in SANDAG’s model discussed below. If the shift is overstated, SANDAG will need to concentrate more on its Urban Area Transit Strategy in its next RTP, including redirecting or increasing revenues to expand its system. Pricing: SANDAG needs to consider a more realistic pricing scenario to achieve a fully ambitious approach, which could in addition provide funding for transit expansion. SANDAG in its 2007 RTP proposes to extend or add managed lanes on four corridors (I -5, I-15, I-805, & Route 52), and complete or widen three toll roads around the region (Routes 125, 241, & 11), within the framework of broader system expansion. In the hybrid/ambitious scenario, SANDAG would modify the RTP to build new HOV lanes as HOT lanes on three corridors (Routes 56, 78, & 94). Presumably all these toll facilities would use variable toll rates, and the extent of this toll system is more ambitious than in the other three major metro areas. To be consistent with SB 375, revenues generated by HOT lanes should be invested in transit, bicycle and pedestrian projects that reduce VMT. This is also an important equity consideration.

Does SANDAG’s modeling completely account for GHG reductions? Summary: The problems noted here tend to overestimate auto travel and VMT, and paradoxically may overestimate the shift to transit use. If fixed or adjusted, SANDAG would gain confidence in its estimated GHG savings for the hybrid scenario, and better understanding of effects of policy and investment choices on travel behavior. SANDAG could then verify its GHG reductions, and learn more about effectiveness of current and more ambitious strategies. SANDAG uses a traditional 4-Step Transportation Model, which represented the state-of-the-art from about 1960 to the mid-1990s. The 4-Step Model analyzes: 1) trip generation (what trips do people need or want to make?); 2) trip distribution (where do they go for those activities?); 3) mode choice (do they travel by driving, riding, taking transit, bicycling, or walking?); and 4) trip assignment (what route do they take, with feedback that considers other routes during congestion). The typical 4-Step Model is based on traffic analysis zones, which provide an

Page 6 of 19

average behavior for the people within them. The 4-Step Model was designed to assess mobility and forecast congestion, and it can do those things adequately. However, the 4-Step Model cannot assess very well, or at all, policy questions of today: How do demographics (age, income, household size) affect travel behavior? How do household size and land uses affect auto ownership and use? Why and how do people decide to chain activities together? To what extent do travel time and out-of-pocket cost affect travel choices? What would variable pricing of auto travel do to travel choices? How does people’s travel behavior respond to TDM signals for carpooling, walking, bicycling, and telecommuting? How does local geography affect walking, bicycling, and walk-to-transit? What do local land use details, particularly mixed uses, mean to travel behavior? The 4-Step Model must use a post-processor, typically involving extrapolation, to estimate answers to these kinds of questions. SANDAG’s 4-Step Model encounters at least four problems in looking at these issues, which limit RTP analysis and have become critical to SB375 planning:

• The model exaggerates the value of travel time. In assessing travel choices, the model trades off travel time versus out-of-pocket cost. This obviously affects whether a driver will use a HOT lane or toll road instead of free lanes, but it also affects the choice to travel by faster auto instead of slower but cheaper transit. SANDAG’s model allows for three values of travel time, for lower (<$39,200), middle ($39,200-$78,400), and higher (>$78,400) income households. The income ratio among these groups is about 1:2:3, but the ratio of value of travel time among the same groups is about 1:5:20. For the middle group, value of travel time is reasonable at $5-$11 per hour; that means that for the lower income group, value of travel time is way too low, resulting in artificially high use of transit, and for the higher income group, value of travel time is way too high, resulting in almost no use of transit and excessive willingness to pay road tolls. This may explain the why so many trips shift from driving to transit in the hybrid scenario. SANDAG should reexamine and adjust its coefficients for value of time in its model.

• The model assumes some results without calculating them. The 15% TDM reduction in white collar work trips, walk and bike trips, and carpooling are all predetermined inputs to the model rather than outputs based on travel behavior calculations. With no signal from the model about travel behavior choices, SANDAG does not really know whether its policies and investments are as effective as it thinks they are, and it appears that the model may not remove the auto trips that are no longer made because of TDM, thus overstating traffic and congestion levels. SANDAG cannot get its model to do things it is not capable of, but it should consider a post-processor to make appropriate adjustments.

• The model fails to replicate actual use of HOT lanes. SANDAG seems to have adjusted its value of travel time to get I-15 managed lane use results more in line with what it expected, but the revenue comes out six times higher for 2006-2009 than was actually collected. It is interesting to observe that revenue forecasts for the Route 125 toll road were three times actual receipts, leading the toll road owner to file for bankruptcy. The model also allows for unlimited use of managed lanes, rather than preferential use for HOVs, so the managed lanes de facto perform as mixed flow lanes. Adjusting the value of time should fix this issue too.

• The model uses employment by acre, rather than actual number of employees or workplace square footage in calculations. This seriously limits the ability to analyze higher density employment areas or mixed use areas, and misrepresents employment in

Page 7 of 19

certain zones such as Urban and Town Centers, which in turn implies continuance of single use medium density suburban land uses, contrary to the Urban and Town Center concept.

San Francisco Bay Area (MTC)

Did MTC study a range of scenarios to inform what is ambitious and achievable? For years, MTC has been a state and national leader in developing innovative programs to link transportation and land use. MTC’s Regional Transportation Plan also has the largest share dedicated to public transportation. Yet, the scenarios that MTC staff have been using to assess potential greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for the Bay Area do not do justice to the good work that cities and the region have already been doing in terms of land use changes and progressive transportation policy. MTC’s targets should be higher, especially for 2035. MTC has been using three scenarios created for its previous Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). One followed a conservative approach, relying mostly on existing plans and current financial constraints. The other two scenarios each incorporated one specific change - automobile pricing and a shift in the location of housing units to infill areas, primarily described by an additional 200,000 homes in San Francisco - to show another possibility. These scenarios are insufficient for the following reasons:

• Neither scenario plans for a jobs/housing balance, as required by SB375 • Both scenarios assume an unrealistically high number of employed residents per

household – 15% higher than any other region, 35% higher than the Sacramento region, and above any historic jobs/housing ratio other than at the height of the dot-com boom. What this means is that not enough housing is realistically provided for the amount of projected job growth.

• The alternative scenario assumes an ambitious 200,000 new homes in San Francisco but actually decreases the number of homes in Santa Clara County, another major job center, and leaves housing growth constant in Alameda County, a transit-rich area, missing a readily available opportunity to reduce commuting and GHGs.

• The pricing scenario is being represented as more ambitious than it actually is. The largest part of the price increase, congestion pricing, was only applied to a small fraction of overall vehicle travel – most car trips would not experience this congestion pricing. MTC should either actually test the impacts of the scenario it describes publicly, or talk about this scenario more accurately.

• At the same time, some less politically or logistically challenging pricing policy changes may have been omitted. For example, it is not clear that bridge tolls were increased in either scenario to keep pace with inflation.

• Neither scenario reflects the Bay Area’s leadership in innovative transportation demand management programs, such as Safe Routes to Schools, Safe Routes to Transit, and the recent climate innovation grants.

• Both scenarios hold the transportation network relatively constant, especially regarding infrastructure investments. An ambitious scenario would revisit whether all projects in the transportation network, particularly those that facilitate additional interregional commuting, are necessary.

We applaud MTC staff for their commitment to study additional scenarios in the coming weeks that include some of the great work that is already happening in the region, including cities

Page 9 of 19

planning for smart growth and innovative programs to reduce driving like the Safe Routes to Schools program. In the coming weeks, MTC should study scenarios that:

• Achieve a jobs/housing balance by planning for enough homes in the region for all projected job growth, as required by SB375.

• Make realistic assumptions about the number of employed residents per household. A more realistic ratio would consider both historical trends in the region and future demographic shifts, such as an aging population, which would lead to fewer employed workers per household.

• Change land use patterns to show more growth in areas near job centers and along

transit networks, like in Silicon Valley and the inner East Bay, not just in San Francisco.

• Use a variety of different possible pricing mechanisms, for example, ensure that bridge tolls are increased to keep up with inflation.

• Build on and extend the innovative Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and non-motorized transportation strategies that already are underway in the region, such as ridesharing, vanpooling, Safe Routes to Schools, and the regional bike network.

Does MTC’s modeling completely account for GHG reductions? We commend MTC for their current efforts to update their scenario modeling software to a more modern model which uses up-to-date research and techniques, and will provide a more accurate measurement of the impacts of different policy choices on travel and emissions. Unfortunately, this model will not be ready in time to affect the target-setting process, and MTC’s current modeling software is outdated and significantly underestimates potential GHG reductions. Specifically:

• People in walkable neighborhoods near transit are more likely to choose to walk, bike, or take transit rather than drive than those in auto-oriented areas. The current model is not sufficiently sensitive to land use differences. It overestimates auto ownership, auto mode share, and trip length in transit-oriented, dense urban areas, and underestimates walk and bike trips.

• The model does not estimate emission reductions from Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures such as Safe Routes to Schools.

• When the cost of a trip goes up, people are more likely to avoid the trip, link the trip with other travel, or choose another destination or mode of travel. Previous model runs failed to capture the impacts of pricing because the model did not allow trip lengths to change as a result of price, so the model did not accurately capture the GHG emission reductions that would likely result from pricing policies.

• When congestion goes down in a given area, more people are likely to drive in that area, eventually increasing total vehicle travel as well as congestion in the long term. The model notes short-term decreases in emissions due to congestion-reducing measures such

Page 10 of 19

as freeway ramp metering, but does not take into account the long term effects of induced traffic from short-term speed and capacity increases.

• People’s choices about where to live depend on how easily and conveniently they can get around from a given location – e.g. if an area has less traffic, more people are likely to move there. The land use and transportation models are not integrated so cannot take into account this interrelatedness.

CARB needs to make decisions based on the best, most up-to-date tools and data. In the absence of the best tools, we appreciate MTC’s commitments to: Be transparent about the shortcomings of the current model and clarify whether the

results the model is showing are really the most ambitious and achievable reductions.

Use off-model tools, including post-processors, to calculate benefits of land use changes, pricing changes, and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures.

Where off-model tools are not easily available, estimate emissions reductions using factors derived from the empirical literature.

SACOG (Sacramento) Did SACOG study a range of scenarios to inform what is ambitious and achievable? Summary: SACOG’s RTP of 2008 presents a fairly ambitious scenario that is already adopted; it is the only RTP in the state that achieves even a modest reduction in per capita VMT. SACOG supports the spirit of SB375 by testing various ambitious strategies, demonstrating potential effectiveness for each strategy alone and in combination. With a hybrid scenario, SACOG reports the potential to reduce GHGs by as much as 8% by 2020 and 17.4% by 2035. SACOG admits publicly that even their most ambitious submitted scenario does not represent their most ambitious-achievable target since they intend to examine an improved land use scenario, but SACOG also needs to accept pricing as achievable as part of a fully ambitious scenario. SACOG examined six test scenarios, four of them focused individually on land use, demand and system management (TDM & TSM), transit improvements, and pricing, plus two combination scenarios that considered the first three factors together (excluding pricing) and then all four factors together. SACOG’s RTP from 2008 was already linked to a 2005 Blueprint land use plan and showed modest reduction in VMT per capita, and each test scenario would do more. Over the summer, SACOG intends to assemble another hybrid scenario representing the most ambitious measures that would be politically achievable: Land Use: SACOG’s current land use test scenario is admirably ambitious, and it intends to test another even more ambitious land use scenario this summer. This scenario alone would increase the amount of GHG reductions from 4% (RTP) to 5.9% for 2020 and from 12.6% (RTP) to 13.8% for 2035, and in combination with the other measures could get to 7.9% for 2020 and 17.4% for 2035. Sacramento’s current housing stock is comprised predominantly of detached housing, 67% on large lots and 3% on small lots, with 30% attached higher-density housing units. For the Blueprint and 2008 RTP, the mix of new housing would shift to 41% large-lot and 26% small-lot detached housing, with 34% attached units, in effect higher density suburbs with more mixed use and new town centers with only 36% of growth in transit priority areas. The Sacramento region’s housing construction market has already shifted nearly to the Blueprint mix in just five years, albeit in an atypical slow-growth economy. The Blueprint Plan represents quite an ambitious starting assumption, but the existing market seems to indicate that more could be achievable going out 25 years into the future. SACOG’s more ambitious SB375 land use scenario would shift the mix of new housing to 33% large-lot and 29% small-lot detached housing, with 38% attached units. This scenario would rely more on infill and redevelopment, yields 84% of new development at higher than current densities, and puts 46% of growth into transit priority areas, but Sacramento does contain extensive areas of aging post-World War II suburbs that would expect redevelopment by 2035. Road Network: SACOG proposes no changes in its road expansion in any of its scenarios, even for outer-edge suburban expressways and HOV lanes. A fully ambitious scenario with more infill would reconsider some of the far suburban road projects and substitute interior road, transit, or walk and bicycle improvements. SACOG in its 2008 RTP plans to spend just over $5 billion for road expansion, with $4 billion going for seven HOV lane projects, the Route 65 Lincoln bypass, three new long-distance cross-suburban arterial expressways, and two new bridges.

Page 12 of 19

SACOG’s RTP also contains nearly $6 billion for local access streets and arterial improvements built and funded as part of developments; no other RTPs include this category of road expansion. Not counting the developer-built projects, SACOG invests about 15% of its RTP in road expansion, compared to 33% for road maintenance, 11% for transit expansion, and 28% for transit operations. Work has started on all but two of the HOV lanes plus the Lincoln bypass and all should be complete before 2020; environmental work has begun for the three expressways, but they will be funded and built incrementally using federal and state funds, sales taxes, and development fees. Nearly half of SACOG’s road expansion investment goes to support infill development directly, for arterial widening, interchange, and freeway bottleneck projects plus four large HOV lane projects in interior areas. A couple of suburban edge HOV lane projects are already committed, through Prop. 1B state bonds and local funds, and the $300 million+ Lincoln bypass is under construction. Some of the suburban highway expansions would be funded by and provide access to greenfields development, but SACOG expects this development to be built as small-lot compact areas with mixed uses and new town centers rather than the traditional low density, single use suburban development. Demand Management (TDM): SACOG’s TDM measures go in the right direction, but it is unclear how ambitious they really are. Policies in SACOG’s 2008 RTP emphasize TDM, noting the varying effectiveness of strategies in different urban environments, and synergy between various strategies such as bike to transit and guaranteed ride home. The RTP, however, describes strategies indistinctly, with a focus to ensure that all employers come under a transportation management association (which promotes, manages, and sponsors TDM activities), and does not specify a level of investment. SACOG’s TDM/TSM test scenario proposes to increase TDM effort so that it expands faster than population growth and set up public car sharing programs in two communities infeasible for the private market alone; the car sharing proposal would be a good fit with redevelopment in transit priority areas, to enable less auto ownership. TDM programs offer promise in Sacramento, where the commute mode split today is 82% drive alone, 10% ride in carpools, 5% walk or bike, and 3% ride transit. System Management (TSM): SACOG’s TDM/TSM test scenario alone would increase the amount of GHG reductions from 4% (RTP) to 4.5% for 2020 and from 12.6% (RTP) to 13.1% for 2035, less effective than land use or pricing. SACOG lays out a TSM program in its 2008 RTP that centers on signal timing, incident response, and motorist information, costing an estimated $500 million. This represents a reasonably ambitious TSM approach, and does not add capacity for congestion relief in suburban edge areas that could support more growth there than SACOG wants. Walk & Bike: SACOG’s walk and bike commitment qualifies as fully ambitious, starting at the current RTP level. SACOG in its 2008 RTP proposes $1.4 billion investment in walk and bike projects, almost 4% of the whole $36 billion financial plan (excluding developer-built roads), and includes “complete streets” policies to ensure that arterial road expansion projects typically will also include bike and walk features beyond the $1.4 billion of direct investment. This represents a strong commitment for walk and bike, in line with walk and bike’s 7% mode share of all trips today, and proportionally much more than the other three major metro regions do. SACOG’s model estimates that 10% of trip growth for 2035 goes to walk and bike. None of the

Page 13 of 19

test scenarios propose to increase walk and bike trips specifically. Success with a more ambitious land use scenario will depend to some extent on ability to foster walk and bike travel as real options, particularly for short local trips in infill and compact development areas. Transit: SACOG’s transit scenario seems fairly ambitious given the context of the region and funding, and synergy with other strategies is important. Sacramento today starts with minimal transit service, offering mainly lifeline service for those without autos, with only two light rail and five bus lines offering better than half-hour frequency. It carries 1% of all trips, but 20% of commute trips to the denser, transit-friendlier central business district where it costs $8-$20 daily to park. SACOG through its 2008 RTP would invest $4 billion for major transit expansion, for four new rail corridors, 16 new bus rapid transit corridors, express bus expansion on HOV lanes, plus more frequent service on significant parts of the local bus system, and expands $10 billion more for operating costs for the whole system going out to 2035. The three main rail lines plus 24 bus lines would run at frequencies of 10-minutes or less. Overall transit ridership would triple by 2035. The amount of service the RTP can propose is capped by the amount of funding available to operate it, because 80% of operating cost must come from public funds beyond fares. The RTP represents substantial transit service that must evolve as a predominantly low density, single use residential and office/light industrial park region adds more compact, mixed use, town-center-oriented growth. The transit test scenario proposes to add 15% more transit service, mostly as higher frequency on lines in the RTP. The transit test scenario alone would increase the amount of GHG reductions from 4% (RTP) to 4.1% for 2020 and from 12.6% (RTP) to 12.7% for 2035, less effective in isolation than any other strategy, but in combination with the other measures could get to 7.9% for 2020 and 17.4% for 2035. Pricing: SACOG tests a very ambitious pricing proposal. The pricing scenario gets results, particularly in the longer horizon: the pricing test scenario alone would increase the amount of GHG reductions from 4% (RTP) to 4.7% for 2020 and from 12.6% (RTP) to 15.1% for 2035, and in combination with the other measures it provides more than half the boost to get to 7.9% for 2020 and 17.4% for 2035. Does SACOG’s modeling completely account for GHG reductions? Summary: SACOG’s model encounters shortcomings mainly around the margins, but it accounts for GHG reductions as well as any model can do today. In fact, SACOG’s model is powerful enough that it bumps up against the ability to provide accurate enough inputs for future year demographics, behavior, and land uses. In other words, model outputs are only as good as today’s limited ability to estimate location and timing of housing and job development or to understand behavior choices involving the cost of driving. SACOG has replaced its traditional 4-Step Transportation Model with a state-of-the-art Activity-Based Model. Activity-Based Models assess behavioral decisions about where to go and how and when to travel, the kinds of policy questions important to SB375 planning. In addition, SACOG's model estimates household travel demand based on 800,000 parcels, which eliminates much of the averaging that takes place in describing zone behavior and allows walk, bicycle, and walk-to-transit modes to be assessed on a more equal footing with drive, ride in auto, and ride on

Page 14 of 19

transit. SACOG can model better than anyone else key policy questions of today: How do demographics (age, income, household size) affect travel behavior? How do household size and land uses affect auto ownership and use? Why and how do people decide to chain activities together? To what extent do travel time and out-of-pocket cost affect travel choices? What would variable pricing of auto travel do to travel choices? How does people’s travel behavior respond to TDM signals for carpooling, walking, bicycling, and telecommuting? How does local geography affect walking, bicycling, and walk-to-transit? What do local land use details, particularly mixed uses, mean to travel behavior? SACOG’s model does not yet incorporate all behavioral decision factors that one might like, and so still must use a post-processor to estimate answers to some questions. SACOG’s Activity-Based Model needs further development or faces challenges in five areas:

• The model’s vehicle ownership module is not sophisticated enough to match the rest of the model’s capabilities. It needs to be able to assess not only total vehicle ownership by household but also what type(s) of vehicles people are likely to own, when to change those vehicles for other models, and who uses which vehicles for which trips. The model needs these capabilities for both SB375 analysis and to help CARB modernize the vehicle fleet mix component in its EMFAC emissions model to minimize fleet mix forecast variations from county to county.

• The model cannot assess variable pricing as a decision factor. It does consider both travel time and out-of-pocket trip cost (including VMT or parking fees) in choosing where and when to travel and what mode to use, but cannot adjust that choice once the trip starts. SACOG’s post-processor estimates pricing effects to a reasonable order of magnitude, but the model does not calculate behavior choices for variable congestion fees and HOT lanes.

• The model cannot yet estimate traffic queuing. Traffic queuing, particularly on a road network that depends on arterials with lots of turning moves, is a real world factor in driver route choice. In fact, in Sacramento traffic diversion through neighborhoods in response to traffic queuing delays has become an issue that hampers road improvements needed to reduce congestion, support infill development, and keep bus routes running on time.

• SACOG’s economic land use model is not ready to forecast interim year land uses, so that interim year data about pace and timing of development must be hand interpolated before the model can examine years such as 2020, 2025, and 2030 efficiently and with confidence.

• The model is data hungry. Data input and updating, particularly for land use parcels and transit service (where all stops must be geographically identified), requires considerable effort, and data needs will increase once a traffic queuing module comes on line.

SCAG (Greater Los Angeles) Did SCAG study a range of scenarios to inform what is ambitious and achievable? Summary: Except possibly for TDM, SCAG’s most ambitious scenario is not particularly ambitious in land use, in customizing road, transit, walk and bike investment, and in pricing. Even so, SCAG reports the potential to reduce GHGs by 10% by 2020 and 12% by 2035. With more focused strategies designed to work together, and packages of strategies that get increasingly aggressive beyond 2020, SCAG should be able to show significantly better GHG reductions. The five SCAG scenarios combine seven elements: Land Use: In representing that its achievable scenario consists of nothing more than what is already going to happen and describing an ambitious scenario that allows current conditions to worsen, SCAG’s scenarios fall well short in both direction and result. SCAG modeled three land use scenarios ranging from achievable to ambitious. The most achievable and least ambitious is a business-as-usual land use package for its 2008 RTP. For the next three scenarios SCAG used its Compass Blueprint 1 package which represents “the expected growth distribution by applying current general plans and recent local land use policies,” and for its fifth scenario used a Blueprint 2 package built with densities around priority transit stations described as plausible but that “have not occurred in most parts of the SCAG region to date.” SCAG dismisses the fifth scenario as too ambitious to achieve, and settles on its expected growth distribution as its ambitious-achievable scenario. In all scenarios, SCAG distributes more than 2 million of population growth, about 40% of its total population growth by 2035, at or beyond the urban edge, in the High Desert, Coachella Valley, and the valleys southeast of Riverside. SCAG’s most ambitious scenario results in a decrease in the percentage of housing located in transit priority areas from 59% today to 58% in 2035. It also decreases the jobs/housing ratio in housing-rich Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, increases it in jobs-heavy Orange County by 5%, and decreases it by 6% in Los Angeles County, requiring more long distance commuting into areas where the opportunity for walk and transit access to work is less than in Los Angeles. SCAG should test a scenario that builds more housing into job-rich areas combined with transportation investment targeted to these areas. Road Network: SCAG’s road network, the same for all five scenarios, does not meet the test of ambitious-achievable. SCAG would invest $100 billion in highway expansion, for 55 HOV lane, mixed flow lane, HOT lane, toll road, and interchange projects, plus another $35 billion for 55 arterial corridor projects, through its 2008 RTP. Twelve of the HOV and mixed flow projects (on I-5, Route 14, & I-15 to the north, I-210, I-10, & Route 60 to the east, I-215 & I-15 to the southeast, and I-5 to the south, costing $15 billion) plus five new toll roads (in the High Desert and between Riverside & Orange Counties, to cost $25 billion) will fuel suburban growth in semi-rural areas in outlying parts of the region. The HOV lane, HOT lane, and interchange projects in the urban interior serve to connect missing links on a map rather than improve access specifically to transit priority areas. None of SCAG’s five scenarios change anything, let alone do anything ambitious, from its RTP road investment package. SCAG neither pulls back nor shifts its investment in any road

expansion projects, even in the most ambitious scenario. Some of these projects are already committed, through Prop. 1B state bonds or county sales tax programs, but surely even part of $15 billion or more redirected to transit priority areas would improve accessibility and support more growth in places dense enough for frequent transit service connecting to multiple other areas. SCAG should test a scenario that focuses on interior road, transit, or walk and bicycle projects close to job centers and reconsiders growth-inducing suburban highway projects that are not yet committed, and customize its investment in the HOV and HOT lane system specifically for access to areas targeted for dense development. Demand Management (TDM): In its 2008 RTP, SCAG emphasizes TDM strategies, such as carpool programs, flexible work hours, telecommuting, and parking management. As a starting point, Los Angeles already has one of the highest work-from-home rates of any large metro area in the country. The RTP would spend $3 billion on TDM strategies, in addition to $18 billion to expand HOV lanes noted above. SCAG’s most ambitious scenario proposes to increase work-at-home rates by 2% of total employment, or 200,000 jobs. This represents an ambitious objective, but appears less ambitious because it does not include shifts to walk, bike, carpools, and transit that should follow higher growth in compact transit priority areas and that SCAG’s model cannot discern. In a region where 28% of non-work trips travel less than one mile and 50% less than three miles, more opportunity to reduce driving remains, and TDM should be able to realize better results. System Management (TSM): It is unclear whether SCAG’s TSM program will in fact reduce GHG emissions in the long term. SCAG lays out $22 billion in TSM improvements (not including HOV lanes) in its 2008 RTP, but then finds that $8 billion of those are lower priorities that need to be funded from new revenue sources such as road tolls. SCAG’s most ambitious scenario seeks a “7% speed and capacity increase” for the whole road system, with lesser increases of 5% and 3% for less ambitious scenarios, without explaining clearly how it intends to accomplish this. A global increase in road speed would be good for bus service but also for driving, but a widespread increase in road capacity, based on past experience, would eventually provide room for more VMT, helping to explain why VMT per capita in SCAG decreases by 2020 but then resumes its increase by 2035. A more ambitious TSM program would target investment to transit priority areas, to ensure that buses gain particular benefit rather than mostly autos, and to ensure better access to those areas that will take on more growth. Walk & Bike: Given the strong potential for walk and bike to play a major role in SCAG’s overall transportation strategy, its investments in non-motorized strategies fall short of ambitious. SCAG in its 2008 RTP proposes $1.8 billion investment in walk and bike projects, about 0.35% of the whole $530 billion financial plan. This is a modest investment at best where the mode split for walk and bike exceeds 12% today based on household travel surveys. The most ambitious scenario would increase this investment by $500 million, to 0.45% of the whole. SCAG notes that walk and bike investments give disproportionate benefits compared to road and transit, and much of the LA region is dense enough that walk and bike are real options for many non-work trips today, becoming truer with increased growth in transit priority areas. A more ambitious walk and bike program would shift investment from peripheral road expansion to interior walk and bike projects, in an amount of several billion dollars, and target those investments to support moderate to high density redevelopment and infill projects in transit priority areas.

Page 17 of 19

Transit: SCAG’s transit scenarios do not meet the test of strategically ambitious. SCAG through its 2008 RTP would invest $55 billion for major transit expansion, in 13 rail plus 14 bus rapid transit corridors, plus another $47 billion for a 5-line high speed rail system, and then consume $164 billion in operating costs for the whole system going out to 2035. This represents substantial transit service, but it is concentrated in urban Los Angeles County and is considerably thinner in suburban counties where most future growth is slated to go. The most ambitious scenarios propose to make up the current shortfalls and expand service to shorten headways by a further 20%, expressed as a global average. The ambitious scenarios are described by SCAG as unachievable, in this case because no revenue stream exists to fund the additional operating costs. SCAG should examine ways to shorten transit headways that would be more realistically fundable, focusing on transit priority areas where ridership should increase disproportionately. It could also consider using funds shifted from suburban road expansion to build one or more additional rail corridors connecting high-growth transit priority areas. Pricing: SCAG’s pricing scenarios are far from ambitious. SCAG in its 2008 RTP proposes expansion of four existing toll roads, four HOT lane projects, and four new toll roads around the region, seemingly chosen mainly as a way to fund large otherwise-unaffordable projects. In the most ambitious scenarios, SCAG would convert existing HOV lanes on I-10 and I-110 to HOT lanes (relatively easy from an engineering and cost standpoint) but the size of the fee does not contribute to the GHG performance of the more ambitious scenario. Does SCAG’s modeling completely account for GHG reductions? Summary: All of the problems noted below tend to overestimate auto travel and VMT, and underestimate walk, bike, and walk-to-transit trips. If fixed, SCAG would realize greater GHG savings in its baseline, and thus could reach a higher target. SCAG also would realize more GHG reductions from the seven types of measures discussed above, which would technically serve a higher GHG reduction target as well as politically demonstrate greater value from pursuing admittedly-difficult choices more aggressively. SCAG uses a traditional 4-Step Transportation Model, which represented the state-of-the-art from about 1960 to the mid-1990s. The 4-Step Model analyzes: 1) trip generation (what trips do people need or want to make?); 2) trip distribution (where do they go for those activities?); 3) mode choice (do they travel by driving, riding, taking transit, bicycling, or walking?); and 4) trip assignment (what route do they take, with feedback that considers other routes during congestion). The typical 4-Step Model is based on traffic analysis zones, which calculate and use average behavior for the people within them. The 4-Step Model was designed to assess mobility and forecast congestion, and it can do those things adequately. However, the 4-Step Model cannot assess very well, or at all, policy questions of today: How do demographics (age, income, household size) affect travel behavior? How do household size and land uses affect auto ownership and use? Why and how do people decide to chain activities together? To what extent do travel time and out-of-pocket cost affect travel choices? What would variable pricing of auto travel do to travel choices? How does people’s travel behavior respond to TDM signals for carpooling, walking, bicycling, and telecommuting? How does local

Page 18 of 19

geography affect walking, bicycling, and walk-to-transit? What do local land use details, particularly mixed uses, mean to travel behavior? The 4-Step Model must use a post-processor, typically involving extrapolation, to estimate answers to these kinds of questions. SCAG’s 4-Step Model encounters at least five problems in looking at these issues, which limit RTP analysis and have become critical to SB375 planning:

• The zone system is too coarse. SCAG uses about 4000 zones. In the urbanized area, that means a typical zone would contain nearly 5000 people and about a square mile of area. That is far too large to examine walk and bike travel effectively, and too much variation within a zone gets lost in the whole-zone average. SCAG needs to be able to discriminate and consider land uses, demographics, and zone behavior on a finer grain, such as via an internal grid or census blocks.

• The model is not sensitive enough to different kinds of land use patterns. It allows for two: a highly dense Central Business District, and everything else. The SCAG region is much more diverse than this, for example with multi-generational ethnic neighborhoods with low auto ownership, medium density apartment communities, and suburban towns designed for walk access. The model contains a 0-or-1 switch for the two allowed land uses. The model probably contains a field of code that would allow up to ten land uses (0-through-9), and SCAG needs to make use of this flexibility.

• The model is not sensitive to trip cost; it chooses and assigns trips based only on travel time. Thus it does not respond to pricing. The model could be coded to calculate based, say, on 80% travel time/20% out-of-pocket trip cost. SCAG should seek such a modification.

• The model is not sensitive to walk, bike, or walk-to-transit trips as a mode choice. This problem stems from the large zone structure, yet these mode choices are realistic options in many zones. The model actually chooses trip origins and destinations before mode choice, and if the trip chosen goes between two zones (> 1.5 miles), it will be too long for walk or bike. SCAG could work around the large zone problem by designating walk or bike as the mode of travel before choosing trip origin and destination, thus it would come up with an accurate number of walk and bike trips that would then stay within one zone.

• SCAG has no auto ownership feature for its model. Trip behavior varies significantly by number of autos in a household, so the model cannot accurately predict travel behavior without this key information. The transit priority areas presumably offer good enough transit access that some households could choose to own fewer autos, and thus travel differently, and some other areas already have lower auto ownership that SCAG’s zones do not pick up. SCAG could attach an auto ownership variable to its allowed land uses, and adjust to some extent for this shortcoming.

Memorandum

To: SANDAG Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC), Transportation Committee, and Board of Directors

From: Keith D. Curry, Public Financial Management

Re: Financial Plan and Next Financing

Public Financial Management (“PFM”) has worked with SANDAG staff to prepare the annual update for the TransNet Extension Plan of Finance. For the past several months, PFM and SANDAG staffs have been working to optimize SANDAG’s financing strategy to minimize program borrowing costs while maximizing the timing and advancement of TransNet Early Action Program (EAP) projects. Background With the initial planning of the TransNet Extension program, PFM created a multi-functional financial planning model that allows SANDAG to project its project delivery requirements, along with its funding availability constraints to optimize its financing strategy. The TransNet Extension model allows staff to modify assumptions to reflect changing project delivery readiness, increased or decreased project cost estimates, and changes in revenue trends and interest rates. Debt issuances are sized to meet the upcoming two years of construction and project activity. This is done to optimize bond sizing, reduce costs of issuance, and to best comply with Federal requirements related to issuance of debt.

Current Debt Portfolio In April of 2008, SANDAG issued $600 million in variable rate demand bonds, and by using interest rate swaps, established a “synthetic fixed” cost of funds of 3.681%. This borrowing enabled SANDAG to implement its “Early Action” Program and to send out for bid many projects in a favorable construction cost environment, thereby partially offsetting the impact of lower sales tax revenues. SANDAG staff indicates the agency is expected to fully expend its 2008 bond proceeds during the upcoming fiscal year. As of July 1st, the agency has approximately $150 million of bond proceeds from its previous issuance; however the agency’s short-term capital requests far exceed the amount available. Therefore, it is time to consider a second TransNet Extension borrowing. Upcoming Issuance A “Robust” scenario, which would advance additional TransNet projects to construction as well as prepare the next list of shovel-ready projects, is being recommended. After careful review of project delivery timetables and project readiness, it appears that a need to borrow between $300-350 million in the current fiscal year (FY 2011) exists. One of the most significant changes to the municipal bond market over the past year and half has been the introduction of the Build America Bonds (“BABs”) in the municipal market. BABs provide state and local governments with a new method of financing capital projects with the aid of a federal subsidy. The subsidy was intended to ease the burden state and local governments began experiencing with the financial crisis. The BABs program allows states and local governments to issue an unlimited amount of taxable debt through December 31, 2010. These bonds are intended to provide an additional source of market access to municipal issuers by expanding the current pool of U.S. municipal bond investors. The taxable market is a sizable global market driven by the underlying credit of its issuers, potentially making U.S. state and local government

SANDAG July 13, 2010

Page 2

bonds a desirable investment vehicle given their relative strength and stability versus global corporate issuers. BABs provide a way for large issuers to achieve potentially advantageous pricing versus traditional tax-exempt debt through a 35% subsidy paid by the U.S. Treasury on the interest due on the bonds in the form of a direct subsidy to the issuer or a tax credit to the investor. The BABs program is available for SANDAG to use if its pricing is advantageous at the time of issuance. Due to the successful 2008 financing, and receipt of additional federal and state funds, SANDAG has been able to accumulate substantial cash balances. This cash also is programmed for project needs. While it may be possible to delay the proposed 2010 financing one year by fully depleting SANDAG’s cash, we believe this is a good time to borrow for the following reasons:

1. Opportunities exist in the current financial markets to bring SANDAG’s all-in-cost of borrowing to below 4.00%. SANDAG, with the help of its financial advisor and underwriting pool have come up with a hybrid structure for the upcoming issuance using tax-exempt fixed rate bonds to capture savings on the short-end of the yield curve, and federal taxable BABs to capture savings on the long-end of the yield curve:

a. Tax- exempt fixed rates have rarely been lower historically since 1993. (Please see

Appendix A for graph)

b. The Federal BABs program allows SANDAG to sell taxable bonds and receive a Federal subsidy equal to 35% of the debt service payment. While the relationship of taxable BABs vs. tax exempt bonds will be monitored right up to the pricing date, in today’s market, BABs are expected to provide 55 basis points of benefit to SANDAG. This amounts to an annual savings of $1.8 million compared to tax exempt bonds. It is important to note that the Federal subsidy level is likely to fall to 31% in calendar year 2011 and to even lower levels in subsequent years. Therefore, in order to take advantage of the maximum Federal subsidy, the transaction must close before December 31, 2010.

2. When coupled with the 2008 issue, SANDAG will have hedged the cost of $900 million of its debt

program or 38% of its projected borrowing (assuming a $300 million debt issuance in 2010). This makes SANDAG less vulnerable to rising interest rates while reducing construction cost risk by funding projects now, during a period of low inflation.

3. Issuing fixed rate debt would be seen favorable by rating agencies, as it would diversify SANDAG’s debt portfolio, which includes approximately $600 million in variable rate demand bonds and a $100 million commercial paper program. It would assist in maintaining SANDAG’s strong credit rating of AAA by S&P and Aa1 by Moody’s.

4. Borrowing in 2010 allows an additional year of debt amortization, and thus slightly reduces the cash flow impact on the agency.

SANDAG's procurement office has recently completed a process to designate a pool of investment banking firms to serve SANDAG in a variety of financings in the upcoming years. These types of financings include SANDAG’s commercial paper program, senior manager and co-managers of typical bond issuances, as well as innovative financings. With the Board of Directors concurrence, a schedule has been identified to bring final bond documents through the ITOC and Transportation Committee structure, culminating with Board of Directors approval in October, 2010 and bond pricing and closing in November.

Recommendation Accordingly, PFM recommends that SANDAG proceed to sell approximately $300-350 million in senior lien TransNet sales tax revenue bonds in 2010. We further recommend that the hybrid structure of BABs and tax-exempt alternatives continue to be evaluated and the final choice be made immediately prior to bond pricing based on relative value to SANDAG. This recommendation allows your ongoing TransNet Extension program to remain fully funded over the next two years. Should you have any questions regarding this recommendation, please do not hesitate to call.
