_____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: Carl Sedoryk, General Manager/CEO Subject: Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) participation in

CalVANS Joint Powers Agreement.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Receive report and provide direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Unknown.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

It is appropriate for your Board to provide direction to staff as it pertains to potential conflicts with another agency.

DISCUSSION: At their August 11, 2010, meeting of the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), the Board of Directors authorized the Executive Director to execute paperwork to complete membership in the California Vanpool Authority (CalVANS), a “transit authority”. This agreement has been promoted by the Kings County Area Public Transit Agency (KCAPTA). KCAPTA has been very successful in the implementation of farm worker vanpool programs with their innovative Agricultural Industries Transportation Services program, the purpose of which is to provide qualified agricultural workers with safe, affordable vans they can use to drive themselves and others to work. The CalVANS JPA (Attachment 1) defines its purpose much more broadly than simply providing agricultural vanpools in our region. The JPA agreement refers to the members as a “transit authority” and states, “The purposes and functions of the Transit Authority shall be to create, fund, operate and otherwise manage public transportation projects and programs within the boundaries” of the AMBAG region. The purpose and function as described in the JPA overlaps the roles and responsibilities of public transit operators in our region including MST, Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District, (METRO) and San Benito Local Transportation Authority (LTA) who, as the designated public transit operators for this region, are responsible for the funding, operations and management of public transportation projects and programs within our region. The leadership of MST, METRO, and LTA have sent a letter (Attachment 2) outlining our collective concern that AMBAG’s participation in a JPA that defines itself as transit authority is beyond the scope of AMBAG’s purpose and mission and that

there is the potential for unintended consequences that may negatively impact the efficiency and effectiveness of public transportation services within our region. As the AMBAG Board has already authorized its staff to execute this agreement, staff seeks direction from your Board on how to proceed with this matter.

Agenda # 12-1

February 14, 2011 Meeting _____________________________________________________________________ To: Board of Directors From: C. Sedoryk, General Manager/CEO Subject: Monthly Report

Attached are the most recent monthly statistics and the reports from the Administration and Operations/Maintenance Departments.

Passenger boardings have increased approximately 3.5% over last year to date.

Much of the additional ridership has been driven by new passengers on routes serving the Defense Language Institute and Naval Postgraduate School.

December 8 – 9 I traveled to Rancho Mirage, CA to attend the California Transit

Insurance Pool Board Workshop. I serve as Vice-Chair on the board of to the insurance pool and at the meeting we reviewed insurance claims and accident trends for pool members. Board members received updates from experts in the transit safety, risk management, and financial industries and conducted business relative to the ongoing operation and administration of the insurance pool.

Comments: In December there were a total of 27 road calls of which 19 were maintenance related. The highest road call category was for exhaust related issues. On December 2nd the last of the two trolleys purchased from Oklahoma City was delivered. During the month staff inspected the trolleys in detail to determine the extent amount of work required to prepare the vehicles for service. Both server rooms at TDA and CJW received upgrades or repairs to their AC/ventilation units.

The last of the employee meetings to review the findings and recommendations from the Solutions for Transit (SFT) maintenance department review was completed this month. An implementation list and timelines based on SFT’s recommendations was developed with staff input during the past two months. Employees were provided the results of the SFT’s recommendations, as numerous department employees from fleet, facilities and parts met individually with the consultant to provide input on department processes and issues. The final recommendations are geared towards improving department efficiencies and work processes with the goal to prepare for the eventual move into once new maintenance facility. Staff continues to focus on meeting fleet preventative maintenance schedules, which was a key consultant recommendation. Michael Hernandez

HIGHLIGHTS

December 1, 2010 Meeting

FIRST PROPERTY PURCHASED FOR COMMUTER RAIL TO SALINAS

The Transportation Agency approved the purchase of the first commuter rail property at 20 New Street in Salinas, CA. The 3.347-acre parcel will be needed for the commuter train layover facility planned for the area. Since early 2009 the Transportation Agency has been working with the property owner affected by the proposed project, to acquire his property at his request. The purchase price of $1,938,000 is an agreed value that is between the fair market value ranges established by two appraisals performed on the property. The rail service will extend commuter rail service from the bay area to Pajaro/Watsonville, Castroville, and Salinas, providing an alternative to driving on congested Highway 101. To this point, conceptual design, state and the federally required alternatives analysis are complete. Next steps for this project will be to complete the federal environmental review, finalize negotiations for operations, and submit the Federal Small Starts application for federal transit funds.

TRANSPORTATION AGENCY ELECTS OFFICERS FOR 2011 TERMS

The Transportation Agency Board of Directors elected a new slate of officers for the 2011 calendar year as follows:

Chair: Maria Orozco, Gonzales City Mayor 1st Vice Chair: Simon Salinas, 3rd District Supervisor 2nd Vice Chair: Jerry Edelen, Del Rey Oaks City Mayor Past Chair: Lou Calcagno, 2nd District Supervisor City Representative: Kimberly Craig, Salinas City Councilmember County Representative: Jane Parker, 4th District Supervisor

BICYCLE SHARING FEASIBILITY AND

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BEGINS

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County approved a contract with the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District to begin work on a Bicycle Sharing Feasibility and Implementation Plan. The Plan will define the bike share concept, examine the potential of success for a bike-sharing program in Monterey County, and explore the key issues associated with system implementation. Similar to car sharing, bicycle sharing consists of making available a number of bicycles at docking stations for customers to pay to check out and ride bikes to other areas where they can return the bikes once their trips are concluded. Bicyclists will have the option of returning the bicycles to the same location or at their destination. As envisioned, a system such as this would be particularly useful in increasing the use of bicycles for relatively short-range travel, decreasing the amount of cold start and vehicle idling, and promoting transit usage and linkage with other transportation modes such as walking.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS COMING TO THE MONTEREY BAY

The Transportation Agency has been participating in the Monterey Bay Electric Vehicle Alliance, a partnership of public and private entities working to establish the infrastructure for an electric vehicle charging station corridor through the tri-county region. As part of this, the Agency approved a contract with the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District to accept a $38,500 grant to fully-fund the purchase and installation of seven electric vehicle-charging stations. This project will help create the necessary infrastructure for the adoption of plug-in electric and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles. More publically accessible electric vehicle supply equipment will help to lessen “range anxiety” of electric vehicle drivers and promote the adoption of electric vehicles in the Monterey Bay area. These units will be free to the public or, if the host wishes, there will be a flat fee for usage. Two vehicles could charge at the same time. The charging stations proposed for installation are networked by cellular technology and include the ability for electric vehicle drivers to find charging stations through a user-friendly website. The ChargePoint Network can be accessed from anywhere with a computer, smart phone, or on-board system. Drivers can locate unoccupied charging stations, monitor real-time charging status of the vehicle, and receive instant alerts if the vehicle gets unplugged or when charging is complete.

For future planning, the Monterey Bay Electric Vehicle Alliance will collect electric vehicle charging station data from each of the seven units installed. The data collected can potentially include type of payment, net energy, time stamp, length of use, charge time, status of the battery, status of the unit, and user information.

CITY OF MONTEREY RECEIVES STATE TRANSPORTATION FUNDS

The Transportation Agency reprogrammed more than $334,000 in State Transportation Enhancement Funds to the Mark Thomas Dr. Sidewalk and Bike Lanes project in the City of Monterey. The project provides an important link between the Naval Postgraduate School and Navy housing at La Mesa. The funds came from The County of Monterey who was not able to use the funds, which were programmed for the Carmel Valley Greens Bike Path project.
