TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Kate Miller, Executive Director
REPORT BY: Danielle Schmitz, Director – Programs, Projects and Planning (707) 259-5968 / Email: [email protected]
SUBJECT: Community Based Transportation Plan Update ______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION That the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) review and comment on the Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) progress update. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The intent of the outreach portion of the Community Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) is to identify projects that: 1) are developed through a collaborative and inclusive planning process; 2) improve transportation choices; 3) address and identify transportation gaps; and 4) focus on transportation needs specific to elderly, disabled, and low-income communities. This memo provides a project update and timeline for work completed as part of the CBTP for Napa County. FINANCIAL IMPACT Is there a fiscal impact? No BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The purpose of the CBTP is to improve mobility options and close transportation gaps for low-income and disadvantaged communities in Napa County. The plan will also review census data and other data sources to determine where resources are most needed and identify additional communities of concern (CoC), beyond those identified by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). • The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) requires that NVTA, as the
Congestion Management Agency (CMA), regularly analyze local conditions to
11
TAC Agenda Letter Thursday, April 4, 2019 Agenda Item 7.1

improve mobility options and close transportation gaps for low-income and disadvantaged communities. This plan will be an update to NVTA’s previously prepared CBTP in 2015. This update will incorporate MTC’s updated guidelines to include simple and clear program goals, incorporate a list of priority projects in coordination with other agency planning efforts, and involve a steering committee inclusive of social service and community based organization/non-profit representation that work with low-income and other underserved residents. NVTA has reached out to housing, low-income and senior representatives to serve on the steering committee.
NVTA staff met with the Steering Committee on July 23rd to discuss outreach efforts. Based on input from the Steering Committee, staff identified outreach events to ensure equitable and appropriate outreach in all communities (Attachment 1). Prior to all events staff issued press releases and coordinated with the local jurisdictions to inform and invite them to take part. The scheduled outreach events began in September of 2018 and concluded in early December of 2018. Outreach Feedback from residents was generally positive. Many residents expressed their appreciation for the mobility programs NVTA offers. The CBTP outreach has helped in educating the public about the transportation options in the Napa Valley. At some events, it was the first time members of the community had heard about NVTA’s transit connections to Amtrak and BART. In order to effectively engage residents NVTA staff will continue to coordinate with the CBTP Steering Committee to ensure the priorities of Napa Valley residents are appropriately considered. Based on the comments and feedback from the outreach events and the online survey, staff has prepared a draft of CBTP recommended transportation projects (Attachment 2). The next steps in the process include setting clear goals for the Plan and prioritizing projects and programs to improve mobility in Napa County. Evaluation of Transportation Proposals NVTA staff created criteria to evaluate proposals to see if they addressed community needs that were identified through the outreach process, and if they should be included in the final plan. The Steering Committee reviewed and concurred with the evaluation criteria at their February 27th meeting. The five criterions used to evaluate projects included: 1. Project Lead:
Existence of a “program champion,” an agency (or agencies) that takes a leadership role in securing funding, staffing and other resources devoted to the proposed service or project.
12
TAC Agenda Letter Thursday, April 4, 2019 Agenda Item 7.1
Page 3 of 4 ____________________________________________________________________________________
2. Community Identified:
Does the proposal address transportation needs identified through public outreach? Ultimately, all proposed projects addressed transportation needs identified by the community.
3. Implementation: Based on anticipated barriers to implementation (such as funding, resource allocation, and project development), the group placed proposals in implementation timeframes: • Near-Term (to be implemented within 2 years); • Mid-Term (to be implemented in 3 to 5 years); and • Long-Term (to be implemented in 6 years or more).
4. Cost/Funding
When funding might be available to plan, construct, and maintain the proposed projects and services. Availability of on-going funding/sources, especially for transit service operations, must also be considered when evaluating the sustainability of a proposal. Although the group did consider the possible costs to develop and implement each proposal, proposals were not ranked based on their costs.
5. Benefit:
Lastly, whether each proposal is easy for potential customers to use in addressing Lifeline Transportation barriers. • Safety • System Performance (in addition to helping the community, does the project
improve system performance?) • Emission reduction • Improved mobility • Improved Health Outcomes
Identified Projects Based on the feedback from residents in the CoCs identified by MTC and NVTA staff, the below list represents the projects identified by the community for improving their mobility and lives:
1. Bike facility on Trancas from Redwood Road to Villa Lane 2. Enhanced pedestrian crossing/Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) on
Trancas at Valle Verde 3. Traffic calming and RRFB at Jefferson/Rubicon 4. Enhanced pedestrian crossing Jefferson and El Capitan 5. Bus shelter/benches at high usage stops 6. Sidewalks/Lighting on Hunt Street and Pope Avenue in St. Helena
13
TAC Agenda Letter Thursday, April 4, 2019 Agenda Item 7.1

7. Expanded evening hours on local transit 8. Expanded TaxiScrip and V-Commute Options 9. Transit service from St. Helena to Angwin and St. Helena Hospital 10. Transit service from Calistoga to Santa Rosa Kaiser
Projects Ranked Based on the above-mentioned criteria the 10 projects identified were ranked in the following order:
1. Sidewalks/Lighting on Hunt Street and Pope Avenue in St. Helena 2. Expanded TaxiScrip and V-Commute Options 3. Bus shelter/benches at high usage stops 4. Traffic calming/RRFB at Jefferson/ Rubicon 5. Traffic calming/RRFB at Jefferson and El Capitan 6. Enhanced Pedestrian Crossing/RRFB at Trancas/Valle Verde 7. Transit service from St. Helena to Angwin and St. Helena Hospital 8. Transit service from Calistoga to Santa Rosa Kaiser 9. Expanded evening hours on local transit 10. Bike facility on Trancas from Redwood to Villa Lane
CBTP Steering Committee The Steering Committee convened on February 27th to review the projects and criteria staff prepared. Projects were then ranked based on the outlined criteria. The Steering Committee reviewed the projects and ranking criteria and was in agreement with staff’s proposal on the five criteria and the ranking of projects. The next step is for staff to bring the draft list of projects to individual jurisdictions to coordinate on the feasibility and deliverability of the identified projects before releasing the draft plan. The April TAC meeting is the first review by the jurisdictions. The Steering Committee will next convene in May to review the draft plan and make a recommendation to the NVTA Board of Directors.

Community Based Transportation Plan Outreach Comments
Resident Feedback NVTA staff scheduled 15 events throughout Napa County to solicit feedback for the plan, with a minimum of one meeting in each community. NVTA also created on online survey for residents to complete that received 200 responses. NVTA staff received comments on a variety of mobility topics. Key issues included a lack of information/knowledge on transit services and mobility programs, the need for physical and operational improvements to bus stops and lines, safer routes for pedestrians, particularly seniors, and additional, affordable resources for seniors and the disabled. Below is a summary of comments, sorted by event and community.
Location Date
American Canyon - Senior Center • Residents we spoke to did not use/need our fixed
route or Vine Go services • There was some complaints about wait times for
the community shuttle • Some projects listed in the 2014 Countywide
Transportation Plan are obsolete, such as the Eucalyptus extension, and the Roundabout
• The Napa Junction Rd. intersection has been completed
• S. Napa Junction Rd. should be replaced with Rio Del Mar connector to Newell-Modified to Rio Del Mar as E/W connector
• The City is considering locations for P&R lots along the corridor
10/10/2018; 2-4 PM
Napa - Senior Center • Found the younger riders on fixed route to be
rowdy; made using transit less desirable • People expressed appreciation for the TaxiScrip
program • Most attendees drive themselves, it’s possible that
those without easy access are not utilizing the Senior Center as much
9/27/2018; 12-2 PM
ATTACHMENT 1 TAC Agenda Item 7.1
April 4, 2019
15
Napa - Free Market at Health and Human Services • Most attendees drove themselves that may be a
reflection of limited access, as the location is only served by Route 11. Also may be difficult to transport groceries to/from the bus stop
9/14/2018; 2-4 PM
Napa - Storehouse/Food Bank • Many of these clients drove to the pickup, as
transit would not allow them to transport that many bags of groceries
• Attendees were glad to know that Vine offered connections to the BART, the Ferry, and Solano County.
9/20/2018; 11-2 PM
Napa - Queen of the Valley • Received feedback that local routes don’t run
frequently enough for clients • Local routes also do not run late enough • Our fares are too high for some clients
10/1/2018; 1:30-3:30 PM
Napa Valley College • Students who rode the bus to NVC were generally
appreciative and spoke well of the service, one rider who used the local routes stated later run times would be better, as to allow for greater flexibility
• Most students drove and would only consider transit for emergency purposes
• One group of students sometimes walk from the Imola/Shurtleff area neighborhood to campus and remarked on how “scary” it is to walk along that corridor
• Would like to see later hours of local routes, so that students can use transit for other errands on the way home
10/24/18; 11 AM-1 PM
Napa Valley Support Services • Issue with clipper card reader functionality • Difficult to board smaller buses with mobility
devices • Jefferson/Bel Aire stop and Lincoln/Jordan Lane
stops should be prioritized for shelter and seating • Shelters and benches are a necessity for disabled
customers • Would like see Routes 10 and 11 stop at Napa
Valley College on weekends • Bi-directional service availability on transit routes
is needed, resident informed that COA addresses this concern
11/2/2018; 12:30-1:45 PM
16
• Longer service hours into the evening • A stop at the Napa Bowl is needed, currently
inaccessible due to construction on Soscol, but not removed
• Most people can’t walk or move more than a couple of blocks, so they need stops closer together
• People want to be able to use TaxiScrip with Uber and Lyft, current taxi companies are unreliable
• Imperial Way and Jordan needs a stop and bus shelter/seating
• Drivers have not provided service to some riders in wheelchairs or driven past riders in wheelchairs
• The stop along Lincoln/Jordan Lane has a slope making wheelchair access difficult.
• The limit on three books per month are not enough for Taxi Scrip
• Real-time signage need to be more reliable and work consistently
• Fares are too costly • Transdev drivers place ramps down on streets
less than a foot away from curb, so there is no way for a wheelchair to safely board
• Would like more curb space painted red, so there is better access for ADA riders to board the bus
Napa-St. Thomas Church • Lack of sidewalks connecting to Pueblo Vista
elementary school • From a truck driver: Educate cyclists on riding on
the inside of the bike lane • Add a stop sign at the intersection of Hemlock and
Hoover • Put up signs requesting people not to walk down
middle of the street on Homewood Ave. • Drainage issues at Kilburn and Bryant from
rainwater from Westwood Hills. • Add a bus line that goes directly from Laurel
Street on the west side of SR-29 to Napa High School
11/18/18; 1-3 PM
Napa- Silverado Creek Apartments • Bus stop is too far from apartments • Crossing larger intersections is difficult, would like
more lighting, more crosswalks • Speeding around school, traffic
calming/enforcement needed
11/29/18; 5-7 PM
17
• Sidewalk improvements for Vintage and Bel Aire schools
• Bike Lane on Trancas from Redwood to Villa Lane (class 4)

• RRFB at Jefferson/ Rubicon • Traffic light at Jefferson/Rubicon/ El Capitan • Traffic light at Jefferson/ Rubicon • Bus (public transportation) to Villa Lane • Rehab sidewalk on Villa Lane • RRFB at Trancas/ Valle Verde
Napa- Redwood Park and Ride • Riders had very positive comments about the
service and drivers • Cyclists love the Vine Trail • Rider pointed out that real time signs were
incorrect and sometimes non functional • A senior rider would like to see bathroom facilities
at the park and ride, as there is nowhere nearby to use the restroom and sometimes there are long wait and transfer times for our buses
11/30/18; 2-4 PM
Yountville - Veteran’s Home • Residents of the Vet’s Home have their
transportation needs met almost exclusively by the transportation provided by the Home, including medical transport to San Francisco
• Some residents do use the Vine Trail and Routes 10 and 29 and appreciate that those services are available
• They love the Community Trolley and really appreciate having access to the town for dining and entertainment
9/26/2018; 1-3 PM

existing transit options were adequate for their medical and grocery trips
• Appreciative of the service on St. Helena shuttle, spoke highly of the drivers

Survey Results The survey was an opportunity for Napa County residents to provide direct feedback on their transportation issues and needs. From the survey responses, some important findings were as follows:
• The most common modes travel are solo driving, bus/community shuttles, carpooling, and walking/biking.
• Most of the survey respondents are 65+, 69.3%. • One out of every three respondents (36.1%) make less than $25,000. • Two out of every three respondents (66.7%) do not use any of the existing Vine
routes, 34% of those said the bus did not go where they needed, and 23% said it didn’t fit their schedule.
• 50.5% of the respondents are either retired or not currently working.

(707) 259-8327 | [email protected] SUBJECT: Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA-3) 2019-20 Countywide Claim Review
RECOMMENDATION That the TAC review and recommend submitting the FY 2019-20 Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA-3) FY 2019-20 Countywide Claim to MTC. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The NVTA Board adopted the TDA-3 three-year program of projects for FY 2018-19 through FY 2020-21 at its June 2018 meeting. The program recommended fully funding, five projects from three (3) jurisdictions. The FY 2018-19 through FY 2020-21 total revenue estimate in June 2018 was $641,758. The three-year projects list (Attachment 1) has been revised to reflect an additional carryover amount of $17,778, slightly higher than initially estimated. Additional available funds have been rolled over and will be part of the next call for projects in March 2020. FISCAL IMPACT Is there a fiscal impact? None, but Board approval of the annual countywide claim will make $185,659 available for programming in the FY 2019-20. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The TDA-3 program is a grant program funded by approximately 2% of the ¼ cent Statewide Sales Tax. This generates approximately $160,000 per year in revenues for

Napa County jurisdictions. The purpose of the TDA-3 program is to provide grants for local bicycle and pedestrian projects. The TDA-3 call for projects was opened by the NVTA Board at its April 18, 2018 meeting and closed on May 11, 2018. Five (5) project applications were received from three jurisdictions, two applications from the City of St. Helena, one application from the City of Calistoga and two applications from the City of American Canyon. Project prioritization considers the TDA-3 Project Selection Criteria for Napa County (listed in the TDA-3 Guidelines) to ensure funding priority projects. Priority is given to capital projects. An annual review of the program must take place each year to ensure selected projects are in compliance with program guidelines and to update actual funding amounts. The FY 2019-20 fund estimate is $17,778 higher than originally estimated (Attachment 2). Since the amount is not significantly higher than originally estimated, staff is recommending submission of the FY 2019-20 Countywide Claim as originally adopted and the additional $17,778 be carried over for the next three-year cycle call for projects in March 2020. Staff is also requesting TAC review the TDA-3 Program Guidance and make comments no later than May 31, 2019. Staff will bring the updated guidance back to TAC for approval prior to the next call for projects. The TDA-3 program timeline is shown in Table A below.

The TDA-3 Program The State Legislature passed the Transportation Development Act (TDA) in 1971. The TDA provides one of the major funding sources for public transportation in California. Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds are generated from a statewide ¼ cent sales tax. Article 3 of TDA is a set-aside of approximately 2% of those monies. Under Article 3 of the TDA, funds are also used by local jurisdictions for bicycle and pedestrian projects. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) administers TDA-3, which is distributed based on population. Each year, an annual fund estimate or “entitlement” is developed for each jurisdiction. Unused “entitlement” is accumulated as credit. A jurisdiction’s claim in any given year cannot exceed the sum of their accumulated credit plus their projected entitlement for the following two years. Funds are obtained by local jurisdictions via a three-step process: (1) apportionment, (2) allocation, and (3) payment (reimbursement). Apportionment in the San Francisco Bay Area follows a Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) formula based upon population. Allocation is the discretionary action by MTC that designates funds for a specific claimant for a specific purpose. NVTA submits TDA allocation requests to MTC on a regular basis, and unused TDA funds allocated to any project may be rolled over from one fiscal year to the next. No matching funds are required, but the project must meet the funding objectives and be developed in cooperation with the community. The basic objectives of the grant source are to fund projects that increase the safety, security, and efficiency of bicycle and pedestrian travel, and to provide for a coordinated system. The MTC requires supporting resolutions from the sponsoring Council. TDA 3 projects are required to meet Caltrans safety design criteria and CEQA requirements; be completed within three years; be maintained; be consistent with adopted bicycle or pedestrian plans; and be authorized by a governing council or board. This “Call for Projects” will be issued on April 15, 2019 upon approval by the NVTA Board of Directors. In addition to the application, project sponsors must deliver documentation of environmental clearance and maps/documents showing project locations and design parameters. Projects must be approved by MTC. As part of the grant process, MTC also requires the City Council to adopt a resolution making certain findings as follows:
(i) the City is eligible to request grant funding under State law, (ii) there is no pending or threatened litigation that adversely affects the project (iii) the grant application is accurate, (iv) The jurisdiction has committed adequate staffing resources to complete the
projects (v) The jurisdiction will comply with CEQA,
35
(vi) the completed projects will be maintained by the jurisdiction for the benefit of the public, and
(vii) the adopted resolution will be sent to NVTA no later than one month following project selection
Basic Eligibility for TDA-3 Funding TDA Article 3 funds may be used for the following activities relating to pedestrian and bicycle facilities (including sidewalk wheelchair ramps):
• Engineering expenses leading to construction. • Right-of-way acquisition. • Construction and reconstruction. • Retrofitting existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including installation of
signage, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). • Route improvements such as signal controls for cyclists, bicycle loop detectors,
rubberized rail crossings and bicycle-friendly drainage grates. • Purchase and installation of bicycle facilities such as
o secure bicycle parking, o benches, drinking fountains, changing rooms, rest rooms and showers
which are adjacent to bicycle trails, employment centers, park-and-ride lots, and/or transit terminals and are accessible to the general public.
• Maintenance of Class I bikeways (unlimited) • Maintenance of on-street bikeways. Countywide, the total funds allocated to on-
street bikeway maintenance cannot exceed 20% of the total countywide TDA estimate
• Bicycle Safety Education Programs (not more 5% of the countywide TDA Article 3 funds)
• Comprehensive Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities Plans (not more than once per jurisdiction every 5 years)
• Projects identified in a recent (within 5 years) comprehensive local bicycle/pedestrian or active transportation plan
• Annual TDA Article 3 Audits (Only in fiscal years funds are disbursed. Can be part of annual audit program, but must comply with additional TDA-3 requirements. Follow audit instructions here:
All claimants that have received an allocation of TDA funds are required to submit an annual certified fiscal and compliance audit to MTC and to the Secretary of Business and Transportation Agency within 180 days after the close of the fiscal year, in accordance with PUC Section 99245. Article 3 applicants need not file a fiscal audit if TDA funds were not expended (that is, costs incurred) during a given fiscal year. However, the applicant should submit a statement for MTC’s records certifying that no TDA funds were expended during the fiscal year. Failure to submit the required audit for any TDA article will preclude MTC from making a new Article 3 allocation. For example, a delinquent Article 4.5 fiscal audit will delay any other TDA allocation to the city/county with an outstanding audit. Until the audit requirement is met, no new Article 3 allocations
36
will be made. TDA Article 3 funds may be used to pay for the fiscal audit required for this funding.
Submit completed audits to:
TDA Audits 375 Beale Street, Suite 800 San Francisco, CA 94105 or via email to: [email protected] Electronic submissions preferred. TDA Article 3 funds may not be used to fully fund the salary of any one person working on these programs. Bicycle Advisory Committee Requirement Cities and counties may not receive TDA Article 3 funds for bicycle projects unless the jurisdiction has established a Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) and the project is included in an adopted plan as stipulated in the MTC TDA Article 3 Rules and Procedures. This requirement does not apply to pedestrian projects. For Napa County, the NVTA Active Transportation Advisory Committee fulfills this requirement. However, for those jurisdictions with additional local Bicycle Advisory Committees, the approval of that committee is also required. Recent Project Examples in Napa County

NAPA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TAC Agenda Letter TO: Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) FROM: Kate Miller, Executive Director REPORT BY: Alberto Esqueda, Senior Program Planner/ Administrator
(707) 259-5976 | [email protected] SUBJECT: Plan Bay Area 2050: Request for Regionally-Significant Projects
RECOMMENDATION That the TAC review Regionally-Significant Project Guidance and provide project submittals to NVTA no later than Friday, April 26th. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has issued an open “Call for Projects” for Regionally-Significant Projects for Plan Bay Area 2050, the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). This is the 25-year Regional Strategic Transportation Plan that is revised every four (4) years. This RTP will continue to promote policies created by SB 375 that mandate a companion “Sustainable Communities Strategy”, which must demonstrate how the RTP will achieve reductions in Greenhouse Gas emissions due to cars and light trucks.
MTC is requesting projects from two investment categories, 1) group listings of exempt projects (i.e., programmatic categories) and 2) non-exempt, capacity-increasing projects (i.e., regionally-significant projects). At this time only regionally significant projects are being requested. Submissions are due to NVTA by April 26, 2019.
Generally, regionally-significant projects are those that add capacity to the region’s network of freeways, expressways, and highways or to the region’s network of fixed guideway transit facilities (e.g., rail, ferry, BRT).
40
TAC Agenda Letter April 4, 2019 TAC Agenda Item 7.3
Page 2
Final project submittals must be approved by the NVTA Board at the June 19 meeting and submitted to MTC no later than June 30, 2019. TAC will evaluate RTP guidelines in context of Plan Bay Area 2050 and consider projects previously submitted under NVTA’s Countywide Transportation Plan Vision 2040: Moving Napa Forward and refine projects as necessary.
Initial project submittals must be received by NVTA by Friday, April 26th using the RTP project application (Attachment 2). NVTA staff will complete a first review of initial project submittals and a comprehensive list will be brought back to TAC at the May meeting.
Project costs in the application should be captured in year-of-expenditure (YOE). If project cost estimates are in current dollars, a 3% annual inflation rate should be applied to escalate project costs to YOE.
The discussion on RTP project selection will be continued at the May and June TAC meetings and a final project submittal list will be approved by the NVTA Board at the June 19, 2019 Board meeting to meet MTC’s deadline.
FISCAL IMPACT Is there a fiscal impact? None. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION As the Bay Area’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, MTC is required by federal and state regulations to prepare a fiscally-constrained, Regional Transportation Plan (“Plan Bay Area 2050” or “RTP”). The RTP is prepared in accordance with the California Transportation Commission’s RTP guidelines. Among many things, the RTP identifies needs, sets priorities, and includes a fiscally constrained list of short-, medium-, and long-range projects and programs. As the County Transportation Agency (CTA) for Napa County, NVTA is required to coordinate the submittal of regionally-significant transportation projects to MTC. The RTP 25-year vision is supported by a similar 25-year investment plan comprised of project and programs submitted by jurisdictions based on need and contributed improvements to the community. As required by federal and state planning regulations, Plan Bay Area 2050 will be a fiscally constrained plan. This means the proposed transportation project costs cannot exceed the reasonably expected transportation revenues forecasted over the planning horizon. Plan Bay Area’s forecast of reasonably expected transportation revenues will not be finalized until Fall 2019; however, county targets have been developed for the purpose of this Request for Regionally-Significant Projects. The Napa County target for regionally significant projects is $615 million. Jurisdiction projects and programs will be collected via a Call for Projects (CFP) through NVTA.
41
TAC Agenda Letter April 4, 2019 TAC Agenda Item 7.3
Page 3
While there are no single projects in Napa County over $250 million, NVTA will submit projects that are regionally significant in the following criteria:
• Expands or extends the principal arterial system (length must be greater than ¼ mile)
• Expands or extends a roadway to become part of the principal arterial system (length must be greater than ¼ mile)
• Reduces the number of lanes (e.g., road diet) of the principal arterial system (length must be greater than ¼ mile)
• Adds new or expands access to the principal arterial system (e.g., new interchanges or interchange modifications that add capacity)
• Extends or expands the fixed guideway transit infrastructure • Adds new or expands transit stations or terminals, including parking facilities • Expands transit fleets or service levels (e.g., increased frequency, hours of
operation) • Alters the cost for users of the transportation system (e.g., cordon pricing, tolling,
transit fares).
Programmatic categories or group projects will be requested in fall of 2019, at which time NVTA will conduct another Call for Projects.

Request for Regionally-Significant Projects The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) requests the assistance of each of the nine Bay Area county transportation agencies (CTAs) and multi-county project sponsors (e.g., Caltrans, BART, Caltrain) to submit locally-identified, regionally-significant project proposals for consideration into Plan Bay Area 2050, the Bay Area’s Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS).
Overview CTAs and multi-county project sponsors were fundamental to the development of previous iterations of Plan Bay Area by reflecting local visions and priorities for consideration into the RTP/SCS, and they will be fundamental to the development of Plan Bay Area 2050. MTC expects CTAs and multi-county project spon-sors to coordinate and lead the Request for Regionally-Significant Projects for their respective county or system. This includes the review and update of project assumptions and the identification of new project proposals.
Context As the Bay Area’s MPO, MTC is required by federal and state regulations to prepare a fiscally-constrained, long-range transportation plan (”Plan” or “Plan Bay Area 2050”). The Plan is prepared in accordance with the California Transportation Commission’s RTP guidelines. Among many things, the Plan identifies needs, sets priorities, and includes a fiscally constrained list of short-, medium-, and long-range projects and pro-grams.
MTC characterizes Plan projects into two investment categories, 1) group listings of exempt projects (i.e., programmatic categories) and 2) non-exempt, capacity-increasing projects (i.e., regionally-significant pro-jects). Generally, regionally-significant projects are those that add capacity to the region’s network of free-ways, expressways, and highways or to the region’s network of fixed guideway transit facilities (e.g., rail, ferry, BRT).
In order to meet federal and state air-quality planning requirements, MTC gathers locally-identified, region-ally-significant project proposals for consideration into the adopted Plan. Regionally-significant projects represent a small share of the Bay Area’s regional investment strategy; however, their submittal is vital for the development of the Plan and its technical analyses.
The submitted projects are subject to several technical analyses. MTC will assess the costliest projects to estimate their societal benefits to inform project prioritization and the development of Plan Bay Area 2050’s investment strategy. Prior to the Plan’s adoption, MTC will collectively assess the prioritized projects to esti-mate their potential environmental impacts.
Plan Bay Area 2050 Development Process This Request for Regionally-Significant Projects is the third step of a multi-step effort to identify region-ally-significant project proposals for consideration into Plan Bay Area 2050, see Figure 1.

Figure 1. Plan Bay Area 2050 Development Process
Steps 1 and 2 occurred in Summer 2018. During Step 1, CTAs and multi-county project sponsors were asked to update project assumptions (e.g., scope, cost, schedule) of the costliest regionally-significant projects in-cluded in Plan Bay Area 2040 (2017). In Step 2, the region was challenged to submit project proposals that could ‘transform’ the region through an open Request for Transformative Projects. The open request focused on re-gionally-significant projects that were estimated to cost more than $1 bil-lion and were not submitted for consideration in Plan Bay Area 2040.
This Request for Regionally-Significant Projects is Step 3 in the process.
Step 4 is anticipated to begin in Fall of 2019 to inform the development of Plan Bay Area 2050’s fiscally constrained investment strategy. Steps 1-3 will inform Step 4, as will the results from Plan Bay Area 2050’s project perfor-mance assessment, needs assessments, and forecast of reasonably ex-pected transportation revenues. This final step will ask each CTA and multi-county project sponsor to identify a fiscally constrained list of both region-ally-significant projects and programmatic category investments.
Relation to Countywide Transportation Plans The region’s countywide transportation plans represent robust local transportation planning efforts in the Bay Area. The plans, while voluntary, establish a county’s long-range transportation vision, goals and priori-ties. Countywide transportation plans have an inter-dependent relationship with the RTP/SCS and provide a primary basis for projects considered into the adopted Plan. To facilitate this inter-dependent relationship, MTC prepares guidelines for counties who choose to prepare a countywide transportation plan, see Figure 2, below. Among many things, MTC’s guidelines encourage proactive coordination and outreach while de-veloping the countywide transportation plans.

Simultaneously, MTC will prepare Needs Assess-ments for Plan Bay Area 2050 to estimate the reve-nues and needs to operate and maintain the region’s existing network of streets, bridges, and highways, and the region’s transit sys-tems. The needs estimates will be complete in Fall 2019. For assessments related to transportation, staff will co-ordinate with county trans-portation agencies (CTAs), transit agencies, and local jurisdictions as needed.

Guidance
Definitions • Exempt project means a transportation project exempt from regional transportation-air quality con-
formity requirements (CFR 40 §93.126-128) and/or projects with categorical exclusions or documentedcategorical exclusions from NEPA approvals by the FHWA or FTA (CFR 23 §771.117-8).
• Principal Arterial System includes Interstates, Other Freeway or Expressways, and Other Principal Arte-rials. See Caltrans’ web map1 for a map of the regional network.
• Fixed Guideway includes any public transportation facility which utilizes and occupies a designatedright-of-way or rails including rapid rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, busways, automatedguideway transit, people movers, and ferries.
Regionally-significant project means a transportation project (other than an exempt project) that isadding capacity to a facility which serves regional transportation needs including at a minimum theprincipal arterial system and all fixed guideway transit facilities.
In the context of Plan Bay Area 2050, a project proposal will be deemed regionally-significant if it meetsany of the following:
o Expands or extends the principal arterial system (length must be greater than ¼ mile)o Expands or extends a roadway to become part of the principal arterial system (length must
be greater than ¼ mile)o Reduces the number of lanes (e.g., road diet) of the principal arterial system (length must be
greater than ¼ mile)o Adds new or expands access to the principal arterial system (e.g., new interchanges or inter-
change modifications that add capacity)o Extends or expands the fixed guideway transit infrastructureo Adds new or expands transit stations or terminals, including parking facilitieso Expands transit fleets or service levels (e.g., increased frequency, hours of operation)o Alters the cost for users of the transportation system (e.g., cordon pricing, tolling, transit
fares).o Total estimated cost (capital + operating and maintenance) is greater than $250 million
• Programmatic investment means a collection of like transportation projects (other than regionally-significant projects) identified by a single listing in the Plan, often grouped by purpose and geography(e.g. pavement preservation, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, intersection improvements). Projects that in-crease capacity of the transportation system but fail to meet the regionally-significant criteria listedabove will be considered programmatic investments (e.g., minor highway improvements, widening oflocal streets). See Attachment B for an inventory of programmatic category project types.

1. Project Lists
This Request for Regionally-Significant Projects builds upon the Bay Area’s adopted Plan and Transpor-tation Improvement Program, and Horizon’s Request for Transformative Projects (Steps 1 and 2, of the Plan Bay Area 2050 Development Process). As such, MTC staff will provide each CTA and multi-county project sponsor a list of known regionally-significant projects in their respective county or on their respective sys-tem.
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should review and update the assumptions of known re-gionally-significant projects and identify new regionally-significant project proposals.
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors are encouraged to submit regionally-significant projectsderived from an adopted plan, corridor study, or project study report (e.g., RTP/SCS, countywidetransportation plan, community-based transportation plans, regional bicycle plan, climate actionplans) and which meet one or more of the general criteria listed below:
o Will open for operation after 2021 and by year 2050;o Will seek federal, state, or regional funding;o Will require federal or state action (e.g., project-level conformity, NEPA, CEQA);o Supports Horizon’s Guiding Principles (see Attachment C); or,o Supports the region’s sustainable communities strategy (SCS).
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should develop and submit project cost estimates using areasonable basis. Cost estimates should include both capital and operating and maintenance(O&M) costs through 2050. Cost estimates should be submitted in year-of-expenditure (YOE) dol-lars. If project cost estimates are in current dollars, a 3% annual inflation rate should be used to es-calate project costs to YOE.
2. County TargetsAs required by federal and state planning regulations, Plan Bay Area 2050 will be a fiscally constrained plan. This means the proposed transportation project costs cannot exceed the reasonably expected transporta-tion revenues forecasted over the planning horizon. Plan Bay Area’s forecast of reasonably expected trans-portation revenues will not be finalized until Fall 2019; however, county targets have been developed for the purpose of this Request for Regionally-Significant Projects. This means that CTAs and multi-county sponsors will need to work with MTC following the release of the revenue forecast to fiscally constrain and remove projects from their list of regionally-significant project proposals.
• CTAs should submit regionally-significant projects with a collective total cost (capital + O&M) equalto or less than the county target of transportation revenues in Table 1.
o CTAs should take the lead on submitting all localized regionally-significant projects (e.g.,freeway interchanges, corridor improvements, transit stations, bus rapid transit corridors)regardless of whether the project has a multi-county sponsor (e.g., Caltrans, BART, Caltrain).
o CTAs should account for the costs of the costliest regionally-significant projects included inPBA 2040 that are subject to Horizon/PBA 2050’s project performance assessment. The listof projects is included in Attachment D, Part A.

o CTAs do not need to account for the costs of regionally-significant projects identified duringHorizon’s Request for Transformative Projects within their county target. The list of projectsin included in Attachment D, Part B.
• Multi-county project sponsors (e.g., Caltrans, ACE (SJRRC), AC Transit, BART, Caltrain (PCJPB), Capi-tol Corridor (CCJPA), GGBHTD, SMART, WETA), should take the lead on coordinating the submittalof localized projects (e.g., freeway interchanges, corridor improvements, transit stations, bus rapidtransit corridors) with the respective CTA and should coordinate the submittal of multi-county orsystems projects with MTC.

1. The PBA 2050 county target for regionally-significant projects (non-exempt/capacity-increasing) of $57 billion represents a 50%
increase over the PBA 2040 county project costs of $38 billion. The 50% increase represents an estimated “top of range” and al-
lows for a longer-plan period (30 vs 24 years), a higher inflation rate (3% vs. 2.2%), and additional fund sources that were not in-
cluded in PBA 2040. It is not expected that PBA 2050 will have 50% more revenue than PBA 2040.
2. To develop the county targets, staff calculated a hybrid from the cost shares of county-sponsored regionally-significant projects in
PBA 2040 (Column C), and county population shares (column D) relative to the rest of the region. The hybrid shares weighted the
cost share and population share equally. The resulting target shares are shown in Column E.
3. Coordination, Outreach, & Public CommentFederal and state planning regulations require that the Plan be developed through an inclusive process. Project development and the progression from an idea to implementation or construction includes numer-ous robust coordination, outreach, and public comment opportunities. One such opportunity is the devel-opment of countywide transportation plans. MTC’s countywide transportation plan guidelines encourage proactive coordination and public engagement efforts to provide opportunities for stakeholders and the public to weigh in on local projects and priorities.
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should work closely with local jurisdictions and transitagencies within their respective county, as well as with MTC, Caltrans, other stakeholders, and other
47
G U I D A N C E
F i n a l | 2 . 2 8 . 2 0 1 9 66
CTAs where appropriate, to review and update regionally-significant project assumptions and iden-tify new project proposals. CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should communicate the signif-icance of a project’s inclusion into the Plan.
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should hold at least one public meeting to provide an op-portunity for public comment on the list of regionally-significant projects that will be submitted forconsideration into Plan Bay Area 2050. CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should be pro-ac-tive in notifying stakeholders and the public – including traditionally underrepresented and/or dis-advantaged communities – on the opportunity(s) for comment. The meeting(s) should:
o Inform stakeholders and the public about the opportunity(s) for public comment on pro-jects and when decisions are to be made;
o Be held at times that are conducive to public participation to solicit public comment on theprojects;
o Be promoted to the public and noticed on the CTA’s agency’s website. CTA staff are encour-aged to provide MTC with a link so the information can also be available on the websitePlanBayArea.org;
o Include information on how to request language translation for individuals with limitedEnglish proficiency. If CTA agency protocol has not been established, please refer to MTC’sPlan for Assisting Limited English Proficient Populations;
o Provide accommodations for people with disabilities; and,o Be held in central locations that are accessible for people with disabilities and by public
transit.
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors may leverage current or past coordination and public en-gagement efforts that involved the identification and/or prioritization of regionally-significant pro-jects. However, CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should still hold at least one public meet-ing to provide an opportunity for public comment on the list of regionally-significant projects thatwill be submitted to MTC for consideration into Plan Bay Area 2050.
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should conduct an outreach effort(s) in a manner con-sistent with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as described in MTC’s Public Participation Plan2
(MTC Resolution No. 4174, revised).
• CTAs and multi-county project sponsors should document their outreach effort(s). Documentationshould describe how stakeholders and the public – including traditionally underrepresented and/ordisadvantaged communities – were involved in the process for identifying regionally-significantprojects for consideration into Plan Bay Area 2050. Documentation should include how the publicmeeting(s) was held in a manner consistent with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Attachment A – Follow a Transportation Project From Idea to Implementation3
Idea An idea for a project starts when a transportation need is identified, and a new idea is put forward. The idea can sur-face in any number of ways — from you, a private busi-ness, a community group or a government agency.
Local Review The project idea must be adopted by a formal sponsor — usually a public agency — that may refine the initial idea and develop details for the project. To move forward, the project must be approved by local authorities such as a city council, county board of supervi-sors or transit agency.
To be eligible for certain regional, state and federal funds, projects must be cleared through the county congestion management agency (CMA) and become part of the Regional Transportation Plan.
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)/ Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) Every four years MTC updates the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), looking forward two to three decades. The plan identifies pol-icies, programs and transportation investments to support the long-term vision for the Bay Area.
The RTP also must identify anticipated funding sources. The RTP can include only those projects and programs that can be funded with revenues reasonably expected to be available during the plan’s timeframe. Projects identified in the RTP are generally drawn from the planning efforts of MTC, Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), county congestion management agencies, transit agencies and local governments.
State legislation now requires that regional transportation plans in-corporate a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) — provisions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks by integrating transportation, housing and land use planning.
Once long-term goals, policies and funding initiatives have been set in the RTP, MTC develops program criteria and funds specific projects.
Environmental Review and Project Development Activities The project sponsor conducts an environmental review, as required by either the California Environ-mental Quality Act (CEQA) or the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Final approval of the pro-ject design and right-of-way is re-quired by the sponsoring agency and appropriate federal agency (Federal Highway Administration or Federal Transit Administration) if federal funds and/or actions are involved. Funding is fully committed by grant approval once the project meets all requirements and moves forward to phases such as prelimi-nary engineering, final design, right-of-way acquisition, or con-struction.
Project Selection Process Funding Levels Established for RTP Pro-grams/Initiatives: Guided by the RTP and short-term revenue estimates, MTC decides how much funding to apply to programs over a two-to-four-year period at a time.
Project Selection Criteria Developed: For competitive programs under its control, MTC is guided by the RTP and develops and adopts minimum project requirements and criteria to evaluate and prioritize projects.
Project Selection: Depending on the pro-gram, projects may be selected using MTC’s criteria or by the county congestion man-agement agency, the California Transporta-tion Commission or a transit agency board. Some funding programs are non-competi-tive, meaning projects are funded accord-ing to a pre-determined formula or voter-enacted initiative.
The Transportation Improve-ment Program (TIP) The production of the Transportation Improvement Program or TIP is the culmination of MTC’s transportation planning and project selection process. The TIP identifies specific near-term projects over a four-year period to move the region toward its transporta-tion vision.
The TIP lists all surface transportation projects for which federal funds or ac-tions by federal agencies are antici-pated, along with some of the larger locally and state-funded projects. A project cannot receive federal funds or receive other critical federal project ap-provals unless it is in the TIP. MTC must update the TIP at least once every four years. It is revised several times a year to add, delete or modify projects.
How You Can Make a Difference Get involved in your community!
§ Follow the work of your city council, county board of supervisors or local transit agency.
§ Take notice of plans or improvement programs developed by your city, county or transit agency.
§ Comment on projects proposed by your county CMA or on trans-portation improvements submitted to MTC for regional, state or federal funding.
The Regional Transportation Plan is the earliest and best opportunity within the MTC process to comment on and influence projects. A project cannot move forward or receive any federal funds unless it is in-cluded in the RTP. MTC support of large projects occurs in the long-range plan and not as part of the TIP.
§ Attend public meetings or open houses to learn about plans and offer your comments
§ Participate in online surveys or forums
Get involved in planning for the whole Bay Area at MTC! Comment on a project’s impacts § Comment on the environ-
mental impacts of the project before the environmental document and project receive final approval by the board of the sponsoring agency, or in advance of federal approval, if required.
§ Comment at MTC committee level and Commission-level meetings, special public hearings and workshops.
§ Follow the work of MTC’s Policy Advi-sory Council which advises the Com-mission (www.mtc.ca.gov/whats-happening).
§ Check MTC’s website for commit-tee agendas and to keep current on activities (www.mtc.ca.gov).
§ Get your name added to MTC’s database to receive e-mail up-dates ([email protected]).

Attachment C - Horizon’s Guiding Principles
MTC received over 10,000 unique comments from residents across the Bay Area in 2018 when we asked,
“What are the most pressing issues we should consider as we plan for life in 2050?” This feedback helped
MTC refine the five Guiding Principles, below, that underlie the Horizon initiative:
• Affordable: All Bay Area residents and workers have sufficient housing options they can afford—
households are economically secure.
• Connected: An expanded, well-functioning transportation system connects the Bay Area—fast, fre-
quent and efficient intercity trips are complemented by a suite of local transportation options, connect-
ing communities and creating a cohesive region.
• Diverse: Bay Area residents support an inclusive region where people from all backgrounds, abilities
and ages can remain in place—with access to the region’s assets and resources.
• Healthy: The region’s natural resources, open space, clean water and clean air are conserved—the re-
gion actively reduces its environmental footprint and protects residents from environmental impacts.
• Vibrant: The Bay Area is an innovation leader, creating quality job opportunities for all and ample fiscal
resources for communities.

NAPA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TAC Agenda Letter
TO: Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
FROM: Kate Miller, Executive Director
REPORT BY: Alberto Esqueda, Senior Program Planner/ Administrator (707) 259-5976 | [email protected]
SUBJECT: ITOC Meeting Presentation Schedule
RECOMMENDATION
That the TAC review the ITOC meeting schedule.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Voter adoption of the Napa Countywide Road Maintenance Act and Expenditure Plan (Measure T) resulted in the creation of the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) to review fiscal and performance audits. To review project and program eligibility adheres to the Ordinance’s provisions.
As a way to keep the ITOC apprised of ongoing Measure T activities in each of the jurisdictions, staff is requesting that jurisdictions present updates to the ITOC on a regular basis. The ITOC has quarterly meetings and NVTA is requesting that each of the jurisdictions provide a presentation on their Measure T projects on a rotating schedule. The staggered presentation schedule will consist of the three large jurisdictions assigned to a meeting each and the three smaller jurisdictions presenting together at the fourth meeting. If a meeting is canceled due to lack of substantive agenda item, the jurisdiction(s) scheduled to present at that meeting will be pushed to the next meeting and the schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
Table 1 provides the schedule for the next 2 years of ITOC meetings:

FISCAL IMPACT
Is there a fiscal impact? None.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Napa Countywide Road Maintenance Act and Expenditure Plan and Ordinance requires the creation of the ITOC which is made up of seven committee members and residents of the County of Napa. Committee members possess knowledge of a certain field such as municipal audit, finance, and/or budgeting, civil engineering with focus on transportation or public accounting. There is also a representative of a Napa region Chamber of Commerce, member of a bona fide taxpayers’ association and two members at-large.
Voter adoption of the Napa Countywide Road Maintenance Act (Measure T) resulted in creation of the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee ("ITOC"). The ITOC will remain in existence for so long as the tax exists. The ITOC reviews the fiscal and program performance of the retail transactions and use tax transportation program through a biennial performance audit to ensure that all transportation retail transactions and use tax revenues are spent by the NVTA-TA in accordance with the voter-approved Expenditure Plan and Ordinance. The ITOC's secondary mission is to provide positive, constructive advice to the Authority on how to improve implementation over the twenty-five year course of the program; this role includes consideration by the ITOC of the biennial project lists submitted by jurisdictions.

Since ITOC meetings are held quarterly and Measure T activities are ongoing, presentation will be streamlined by having each of the larger jurisdictions i.e. City of Napa, American Canyon, Napa County each solely present their project update in a meeting while the smaller jurisdictions i.e. Calistoga, St. Helena, and Yountville with all present jointly.
