Ms. Asuncion announced the passage of Measure M. Metro is developing internal guidelines that will lay out how Metro will implement the programs listed in the ordinance. There will be public review and participation during the development of these guidelines. The Metro Board is expected to approve the guidelines at the July 2017 Board meeting. Mr. Janka suggested that Metro brief the Subcommittee on Measure M at the January 2017 meeting.

Mr. Zohrehvand asked who will be involved in the development of the Measure M guidelines. Ms. Asuncion replied that our CEO held a meeting on Wednesday, November 16th with the Executive Directors of the local Councils of Government (COGs) and that there was a discussion on how the public input process would occur.

5. ITS Field Inventory Resource Sharing Tool (Eva Pan, Metro)Ms. Pan stated that the Intelligent Transportation Systems Field Inventory Resource Sharing Tool (ITS FIRST) is a project that has been in development for two years. This project has its origins in the 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which focuses, in part, on maximizing the arterial system’s capacity through technology and capital improvement including ITS.

The ITS FIRST project has focused on establishing an arterial ITS inventory that creates a baseline in order to track countywide ITS technology developments as they are planned and implemented. Metro will provide this tool to agencies free of charge. The tool allows for ITS inventory data entry, editing, mapping, and inventory reporting in each agency in Los Angeles County. Data sharing and security are built into the tool for countywide coordination. The tool has been refined over the past two years with the help of Kimley-Horn.

ITS FIRST possesses several capabilities, including: managing ITS assets; sharing data with other agencies; multi-level user security; mobile data collection tool; compatible with GIS, Microsoft Excel, and other database file formats; integrated GIS capabilities to create/edit assets; flexibility to update entire record sets or one by one; and cloud hosting with no need to download anything.

Ms. Pan stated that Metro also engaged in a large data collection effort alongside the development of the tool, with the assistance of Iteris. Metro contacted every agency in Los Angeles County, which resulted in a 98% response rate. The tool tracks: traffic signals; CCTV cameras; dynamic message signs (DMS); communication segments; what city owns each element; and what kind of software and hardware is used. The data collection process lasted around eight months.

Throughout the tool development process, there were beta users who were able to provide Metro with feedback on the tool. Beta users include: City of Arcadia, City of Santa Monica, Caltrans, County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, and City of Pasadena. These beta users have been advocates for the use of the tool. Once the database went live and was populated with all the necessary information, Metro held training sessions on how to use the tool. These sessions took place over four days in September and October 2016, with approximately 14 attendees at each session. These sessions allowed users to provide more feedback and suggestions. Ms. Pan stated that future training sessions, as well as office visits, will be offered on an as-needed basis.

Ms. Pan stated that next steps include incorporating inventory data collection and maintenance as special conditions for grants, effective as of the 2015 Call for Projects (Call) and the execution of any subsequent Funding Agreements. Agencies will need to update their databases at least once a year since the current system contains baseline information. Metro will administer a survey to obtain more user feedback, as well as follow up with users. There are also plans to enhance the tool in the future, based on user demand.

Ms. Pan stated that the tool can be accessed at http://MetroITSFIRST.net. She stressed that the tool is meant for public agencies, although consultants representing agencies may access the tool. Ms. Pan may be contacted with any questions or comments at (213) 922-5602 or [email protected].

Mr. Janka asked if there is any coordination allowed between ITS FIRST and Los Angeles County’s Information Exchange Network (IEN). Ms. Pan replied that the IEN shares different data from ITS FIRST. The tool is a sophisticated way for agencies to consolidate their ITS inventory into one location.

Mr. Niebla asked how often Metro will update the data. Ms. Pan answered that agencies receiving funding for ITS through the Call will be required to maintain their databases.

6. Caltrans Update (Steve Novotny, Caltrans)Mr. Novotny announced that the Highway Safety Improvement Plan (HSIP) Cycle 8 results will be released by Friday, November 18th. Projects receiving HSIP funding will be programmed into the Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (FTIP) in December.

7. CTC Update (Zoe Unruh, Metro)A handout of the meeting notes from the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPA) meeting on October 19, 2016 and the California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting on October 19-20, 2016 was distributed to Subcommittee members.

Ms. Unruh reported that Caltrans presented at the RTPA meeting on the Critical Urban Freight Corridors and Critical Rural Freight Corridors. Caltrans has initiated conversations with RTPAs, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and Self-Help Counties to propose a technical working group. A working draft of the efforts to form a working group has been attached to the handout. The purpose of forming the technical working group is to designate the Critical Urban Freight Corridors and the Critical Rural Freight Corridors, which are two undesignated components of the National Highway Freight Program.

The CTC proposed a timeline to develop guidelines for California’s share of the National Highway Freight Program. They project adopting these guidelines in May 2017 and an outline for the outreach efforts has been developed. The guidelines can be adopted sooner if a consensus is reached earlier.

The CTC presented an overview of the potential impacts of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Assignment, which has allowed Caltrans to perform NEPA review on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is expiring. Caltrans issued a letter to the CTC

notifying them of the potential lapse and the consequences of delayed environmental review. The legislature is considering action on this.

A revised budget allocation capacity chart was presented to the CTC. Capacity was increased due to a higher than anticipated August Redistribution amount and a one-time appropriation of additional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds (GGRF) via AB-1613 (Budget Act of 2016).

The CTC approved two Traffic Congestion Relief Program (TCRP) allocations: $8 million approved for the I-405 Sepulveda Pass Project, and $9 million approved for the San Fernando Valley North South Transit Project. AB-133 (Budget Act of 2015) made a one-time appropriation in recognition of the state’s outstanding obligation to the TCRP.

8. Federal Transportation Earmark Repurposing Update (Steven Mateer, Metro)This item was deferred to the January 2017 Streets and Freeways Subcommittee meeting.

9. I-605 Corridor Improvement Project (Carlos Montez, Metro)The I-605 Corridor Improvement Project began in 2013 with a Feasibility Study that examined relieving congestion on arterials and along the corridor. In 2014, Metro along with Caltrans completed a Project Study Report that defined Purpose and Need of the Project, as well as evaluatedpotential environmental issues along the corridor.

The Project limits include: I-605 from I-105 to I-10; I-5 from Florence Avenue to Paramount Boulevard; and SR-60 from Santa Anita Avenue to east of Turnbull Canyon Road. Agencies collaborating on the Project include: Metro, Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG), and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG). Jurisdictions along the corridor include the Cities of Baldwin Park, El Monte, Industry, Pico Rivera, South El Monte, Whittier, Downey, Norwalk, and Santa Fe Springs; and Unincorporated Los Angeles County.

The purpose of the Project is to reduce congestion, improve traffic operations, and improve local interchanges. Major goals of the Project include: enhancing mobility and quality of life for the community; improving public safety; minimizing environmental and property impacts; and minimizing disruptions during construction.

Metro conducted six scoping meetings with the community for the Project. This allowed Metro to gather information on what may have been missed in prior Studies. The deadline for collecting comments is December 1st.

Proposed Project improvements include: Add one mixed-flow lane each on northbound (NB) and southbound (SB) I-605 from I-

105 to I-10 Add one high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane each on NB and SB I-5 Add one mixed-flow lane each on eastbound and westbound SR-60 from Santa Anita

Avenue to Turnbull Canyon Road Add auxiliary lanes as needed between highway interchanges Modify system interchange connectors and local interchange ramps

5

Each proposed Project improvement includes four Alternatives: 1. No Build 2. Full Standard Lane/Shoulder Widths 3. Reduced Standard Lane/Shoulder Widths 4. Transportation Systems Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand

Management (TDM) Alternative 2 would widen the freeway from 8 to 12 travel lanes with 10-foot shoulders. Alternative 3 would reduce lane widths to 11 feet and shoulder widths to 8 feet, which would reduce right-of-way (ROW) impacts. Alternative 4 include ITS and Congestion Management System (CMS) improvements. Mr. Montez stated that Metro is also conducting environmental studies to complete an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). Metro completed the Public Scoping phase and is currently preparing Technical Studies. The Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA/ED) process is expected to be completed in 2020. Mr. Janka asked how current work is being funded. Mr. Montez replied that PA/ED work is funded through Measure R. Future funds from Measure M may also be directed to the Project. Mr. Janka then asked if there is enough room for the ROW that the Build Alternatives would require and if Metro would need to acquire more land. Mr. Montez replied that, for Alternative 3, the ROW requirements would be met by the existing freeway widths. Alternative 2 would require Metro to acquire more land for the ROW. Metro would also need to obtain design exceptions from Caltrans for the reduced lane widths of Alternative 3. Ms. Shavelson asked if Metro has received responses from Caltrans on the proposal for 11-foot freeway lanes. Mr. Montez replied that Caltrans, as a co-preparer of the Project Study Report in 2014, concurs with Metro on this concept. Valerie Watson (Pedestrian Coordination) asked if there are any measures in the Project to reduce conflicts between automobiles and people on bicycles and on foot where highway on- and off-ramps meet surface streets. Mr. Montez replied that Metro received comments on such measures and that staff will be taking these needs into consideration. 10. CA Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment (Charles Herbertson, Westside Cities) Mr. Herbertson stated that the Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment began in 2008 and has generally occurred every two years. This is a collaborative effort among the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the League of California Cities (League), the County Engineers Association of California (CEAC), the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs), and the Rural Counties Task Force (RCTF). The Needs Assessment consists of the following objectives:

What are pavement conditions statewide? How much will it cost to maintain local roads, local bridges, and other essential

roadway components? What is the funding shortfall?

6

What are the impacts of different funding scenarios? Communicate results to elected officials, the public, and the media

Mr. Herbertson noted that the Needs Assessment does not examine state highways as these are operated and maintained by Caltrans. More than 81% of California’s roads are owned by cities and counties. The Needs Assessment conducted a survey of agencies statewide and received responses from 462 agencies, accounting for 99.7% of the mileage of local streets and roads. Only 9 agencies did not respond to the survey, and each of these agencies covers an area with population below 50,000. The Needs Assessment uses the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to evaluate the quality of pavement across the road network. There are four categories included in the index, from highest quality to lowest quality: Excellent, Good, At Risk, and Poor. Since the Needs Assessment began in 2008, statewide average PCI has remained in the At Risk category. PCI has fallen only gradually since 2008, but Mr. Herbertson stated that pavement may deteriorate at a more rapid pace if not treated or maintained. Between 2008 and 2016, the PCI in many counties slipped into the At Risk or Poor category. Mr. Herbertson stated that the pavement funding needs for local streets and roads adds up to $70 billion over the next ten years. The total amount of money needed is heavily weighted toward the southern portion of the state, in which there are more roads. However, counties in the northern portion of the state will have a lower percentage of their road funding needs met over the next ten years. Essential roadway components include bicycle lanes, pedestrian facilities, stormwater infrastructure, traffic signals, and signage. These components comprise approximately 30% of total road needs. The funding needs for essential components adds up to $32.1 billion over the next ten years. Again, the southern portion of the state generally has the highest amount of funding needs. Statewide there are over 12,000 local bridges included in the National Bridge Inventory, of which almost half are more than 50 years old. A substantial portion of bridges is more than 80 years old. Of the NBI bridges, nearly 1500 are structurally deficient and nearly 2000 are functionally obsolete. More than 800 bridges require replacement, and more than 1800 require rehabilitation. The funding needs for bridges adds up to $4.6 billion over the next ten years, and Los Angeles County has the greatest bridge funding needs. Adding up pavement, essential components, and bridge needs, the local streets and roads require $106.7 billion in funding over the next ten years. In terms of funding trends and sources, Mr. Herbertson stated that federal funding has remained relatively stable over time and comprises around 10% of road funding. The percentage of funding from the state through the gas tax has decreased while there has been more reliance on local funding through counties. Examples of local funding sources include the Measure R and Measure M sales taxes in Los Angeles County.

7

Existing funding for roads adds up to $1.98 billion per year. At the current funding level, in ten years the statewide PCI will continue to decline and the funding backlog for roads will increase from $38.8 billion to $58 billion. In order to maintain roads at the current PCI, funding would need to increase to $3.5 billion per year. Implementing best management practices would require funding of $7 billion per year. In ten years, road quality could increase to Good or Excellent, and annual funding could then decrease to $2.5 billion per year for maintenance. Mr. Herbertson stated that, at current funding levels, the percent of roads that are considered failed roads will increase from 6.9% to 22.2% over the next ten years. There is a funding shortfall of $73 billion over the next ten years. Mr. Herbertson stated that, for example, a gas tax increase of 49 cents per gallon could eliminate this shortfall. As a result of this tax increase, the average driver would spend an additional 67 cents per day on gas. Ms. Kim commented that some cities used to have different standards for PCI, and she asked if PCI is more standardized now. Mr. Herbertson replied that there can be some variation in PCI among different agencies. In general, using PCI as an indicator is a uniform measure of pavement quality statewide. Ms. Kim then asked if gas tax is the preferred mode of funding these road improvements. Mr. Herbertson answered that the report focuses more on the funding needs and that it is up to the California Legislature to decide how to increase funding. Ms. Kim asked if there will be analysis of the impact of road conditions on the cost driving, including fuel costs and vehicle maintenance. Mr. Herbertson stated that the full report does include some of this analysis but that the main focus of the report is on the funding needs. Alvin Papa (City of Long Beach) asked what the percentage of backlog is for road segments and at what point road maintenance would become unmanageable. Mr. Herbertson replied that backlog will continue to increase if funding needs are not met. If roads are allowed to continue to deteriorate into Poor quality, then they may be unmanageable. Mr. Herbertson also stated that having 25% of roads as failed roads is a very difficult and expensive problem to overcome. Mr. Janka asked when the last time was when the California gas tax was increased. Mr. Herbertson answered that the tax was last raised in 1993. As a result, the proportion of road funding from the gas tax has decreased over time since the tax is a fixed amount of 18 cents per gallon. Mr. Herbertson stated that, while there are environmental benefits from more fuel efficient and electric vehicles, there is even less revenue coming from the gas tax. Mr. Janka then asked about Measure M’s State of Good Repair funds and how these funds could be used for local roads. Mr. Herbertson replied that there will be more Local Return funds that cities can use for their own streets, roads, and essential components. Mr. Herbertson stated that State of Good Repair funds are more directed toward the maintenance of Metro’s rail and bus network. Mr. Janka mentioned that one way of compensating for the decrease in revenue from gas taxes is to implement a road usage fee based on vehicle miles traveled and vehicle weight. Mr. Herbertson stated that there is a pilot program of this nature occurring in California. Ms. Kim asked how much cities received from the Gas Tax Swap for road maintenance. Mr. Herbertson replied that someone from Metro would more readily have this information.

8

Mr. Novotny commented that Caltrans is aware that the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) is underfunded but that staff is working on a solution. Mr. Janka asked how information from the final report is distributed. Mr. Herbertson replied that the League will present to the CTC in January 2017 and that CSAC and the League use the information to present to the California Legislature. Mr. Papa asked if it is possible to look at transportation ballot measure results for this year’s election in different counties to determine why some measures passed and others did not. Mr. Herbertson replied that this matter could be discussed with the Oversight Committee. Mr. Zohrehvand asked if a copy of Mr. Herbertson’s presentation would be made available. Ms. Asuncion replied that it would be posted on the Streets and Freeways Subcommittee webpage. 11. ATP Update (Shelly Quan, Metro) Ms. Quan announced that Metro is releasing an Active Transportation Program (ATP) survey to understand the challenges agencies face in securing ATP funds and delivering projects in Los Angeles County. The results will inform regional policy efforts. The survey will be released on November 17th. Metro is requesting only one respondent per agency. The deadline to respond to the survey is December 16th. Ms. Quan reported that the CTC adopted a revised 2017 ATP fund estimate which incorporates $10 million from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and $8 million from the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, bringing the total 2017 ATP fund amount to $263.5 million. The three components of the ATP include: Statewide ($131.8 million); MPO/Regional ($105.4 million); Small Urban and Rural ($26.3 million). On October 28th, CTC staff released their recommendations for the Statewide and Small Urban/Rural components. In Cycle 3, 456 applications were received requesting $976.8 million. Twelve projects were removed from the evaluation process due to incomplete or inconsistent applications. The Statewide program recommendation includes 40 projects, 62% of which are from Southern California and 38% from Northern California. The Statewide program includes 11 projects from Los Angeles County, totaling $25.3 million. The Small Urban/Rural program had 10 projects awarded for a total of $26.3 million. Los Angeles County was not eligible for this program. The score cut off for Cycle 3 was 89, compared to 88 for Cycle 2. The next step is the MPO/Regional program. Metro will be working with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to identify Los Angeles County projects for funding from Los Angeles County’s share of SCAG’s regional funds. The County can expect to receive approximately $30 million from the MPO/Regional program. The score cut off for this program is 86, following the SCAG process that directs counties to assign 10 additional points to implementation projects. The rest of Los Angeles County’s share of regional funds is $2 million, and these funds are reserved for Planning and Non-infrastructure projects. These projects will be selected through

9

SCAG’s Supplemental Call for Projects, which is coordinated with the 2016 Sustainable Planning Grants Program. Applications are due November 18th, but SCAG has notified sponsors for projects that were not successful in securing ATP funds that they can apply for the Supplemental Call.

Ms. Quan announced that Metro is preparing a January Board Report for approval of this regional program. SCAG intends to release recommendations for the Sustainable Planning Grants Program on December 13th.

Ms. Quan reported that November 21, 2016 is the Caltrans deadline for allocation requests for Cycle 1 projects that received extensions with new deadlines in January and February 2017. Requests will require Metro’s concurrencesignature, so Metro staff requests to receive allocation requests at least two weeks before the Caltrans deadline. Cycle 2 project sponsors that have funds programmed to FY 2017 should also consider submitting their allocation requests, especially for projects that have more than one phase programmed for FY 2017.

12. State and Federal Legislative Update (Raffi Hamparian/Michael Turner)No report was provided.

13. New BusinessNo report was provided.

14. AdjournmentThe meeting was adjourned at 10:52 A.M.

The next meeting for the Streets and Freeways Subcommittee will be held on January 19, 2017, at 9:30 a.m. on the 15th floor, Mulholland Conference Room. Please contact Fulgene Asuncion at (213) 922-3025 should you have any questions or comments regarding this or future agendas.
