PRESENTATION

TO: Management and Finance Committee Staff Report Presentation

FROM: Chris Jasper, Assistant Planner

DATE: August 20, 2020

SUBJECT: Dibs Annual Report and Bike to Work Month 2020

Background

The Stanislaus region is located in the federally designated San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, which is designated as a non-attainment area. As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency and Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Stanislaus region, the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) must satisfy the Transportation Control Measure (TCM) requirement contained in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) air quality plan.

Transportation Control Measures are defined by the Federal Transportation Conformity Rule as any action taken to adjust traffic patterns or reduce vehicle use in order to reduce air pollutant emissions. TDM programs aim at reducing dependence on motorized travel, particularly single occupancy vehicles, on the transportation network. TDM programs help to address the region’s most significant concerns, including traffic congestion, air quality, public health, dependence on fossil fuels, climate change, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Dibs, formerly known as Commute Connection, serves San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Merced Counties and is a TCM and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program. Dibs provides smart traveling tools and services, including trip planning and ride matching software; administers vanpool subsides; and promotes alternatives to driving alone by outreaching to local employers and community based organizations and developing marketing materials.

Dibs also supports Bike to Work Month, also known as National Bike Month, which is part of a nationally celebrated campaign established by the League of American Bicyclists in 1956 to “showcase the many benefits of bicycling and encourage more people to give bicycling a try.” Dibs promotes Bike to Work Month in May of each year by partnering with local agencies and employers and organizing events showcasing the benefits of biking to work.

10

Item 5A

Discussion

During Fiscal Years 18/19 and 19/20, Dibs added 505 users to its ride matching smart phone and web based application, CommuteTrack, bringing the total to 2,757 users, and added 30 vanpools to bring the total number of vanpools to 54. These efforts are estimated to have reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the Stanislaus region by approximately 85 tons over the two year period.

Dibs has also held meetings with local agencies and employers, including, but not limited to, Frito Lay, Amazon, and Blue Diamond, to educate workers on the benefits of and resources available for smart travel.

Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis and subsequent State and County restrictions on public gatherings and events, all local, in-person Bike to Work Month activities scheduled for the month of May were canceled. However, through its commute-tracking application, Dibs offered incentives and prizes to participants who tracked their commutes throughout May of 2020. Prizes included food delivery, meal kit, and bike shop gift cards. Dibs also updated its website to include tips and guidelines available to employers and employees in the region to maintain productivity and promote healthy lifestyles while working remotely.

TO: Management and Finance Committee Staff Report Motion

FROM: Debbie Trujillo, Assistant Planner


SUBJECT: Formal Amendment 15 to the 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) – Type 5 Amendment and Corresponding 2020 Conformity Analysis

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend Policy Board adopt by Resolution Formal Amendment 15 to the 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) Type 5 Amendment and the Corresponding 2020 Conformity Analysis.

Background

As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Stanislaus Region, StanCOG is responsible for managing a document called the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The FTIP is a short range, four-year, program of projects that implements the long-range Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) to accomplish improvements in mobility and air quality.

The FTIP is a financially constrained program that identifies the current and pending uses of federal and state transportation funds. Pursuant to federal legislation, no project may receive federal funding unless it is contained in an approved FTIP. The 2019 FTIP contains the entire list of transportation projects for which state and federal funds have been awarded through StanCOG, Caltrans, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, or other grantor agencies for Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 18/19 – 21/22. Occasionally, the FTIP must be amended to add or modify project descriptions or funding amounts, change program funding year, or delete existing projects.

The Federal transportation conformity regulations specify criteria and procedures for conformity determinations for transportation plans, programs, and projects and their respective amendments. The Conformity Analysis demonstrates that the criteria specified in the Federal transportation conformity regulations for a conformity determination are satisfied by the 2019 FTIP and 2018 RTP/SCS.

FROM: Edith Robles, Assistant Planner


SUBJECT: Transfer of Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) Program Funds from the City of Ceres to the City of Modesto

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend the Policy Board approve by Resolution the transfer of Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) program funds from the City of Ceres to the City of Modesto in the amount of $156,129.

Background

The PTMISEA program was created by Proposition 1B in 2006 as a part of a comprehensive, voter-approved transportation bond investment package. This program was designed to help advance important goals and policies, including protecting the environment and public health, conserving energy, reducing congestion, and increase mobility and accessibility. Funds are apportioned by the State Controller’s Office on an annual basis and allocations are determined in accordance with the Public Utilities Code formula distributions: 50% to Local Transit Operators based on fare-box revenue and 50% to Regional Entities based on population, similar to the existing State of Good Repair Program.

Eligible projects under this program include transit rehabilitation, safety or modernization improvements, capital service enhancements and/or expansions.

The final appropriation for this program was made in FY 2014/-15 and recipients have until June 30, 2023 to expend all remaining funds.

16

Item 6B

Discussion

In FY 2014/15 StanCOG received a total of $5,463,529 in PTMISEA funds for regional projects. Of those funds, the StanCOG Policy Board sub-allocated $235,500 to the City of Ceres for their Bus Shelter Improvement Project, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: City of Ceres PTMISEA Allocations for FY 2014/15 Project Activity Estimated Cost Bus Shelters (11) $159,500 Bus Benches (19) $25,100 Bus Pad Improvements (15) $18,000 Bus Stop Solar Lights (8) $7,900 Odyssey Test Simulator (1) $15,000 Automated Farebox Cards (Bulk) $10,000

Subtotal $235,500

The City of Ceres has continuously worked on this project and is near completion with a scheduled close out date of December 2020. However, with the recent decision to consolidate transit services with the City of Modesto, the project was put on hold. There is a total of $156,129 of unused funds for this project.

StanCOG Staff has been working with the City of Ceres, the City of Modesto, and Caltrans to determine how to expend these funds in the most efficient manner. Staff is recommending the Policy Board reallocate the funds from the City of Ceres to the City of Modesto to cover some of the following expenses as they relate to the City of Modesto and City of Ceres transit services consolidation:

- repainting of buses- purchase and installation of the automatic vehicle location (AVL) equipment on buses- purchase and installation of Token Transit on the buses, which allows riders to purchase

transit tickets using their smart phone- bus stop sign replacement- addition of surveillance equipment to the buses

The proposed project will ensure the transit services in the City of Ceres are upgraded to the same level of technology as the City of Modesto. This will make for a smooth transition and allow all MAX riders to share the same experience.

FROM: Edith Robles, Assistant Planner


SUBJECT: Safety Performance Targets for the Modesto Area Express (MAX) Transit System

Recommendation

By Motion:

Recommend the Policy Board adopt the Safety Performance Targets for the Modesto Area Express (MAX) Transit System.

Background

On July 19, 2018, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) published the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) Final Rule, 49 CFR Part 673, which requires certain federal fund recipients to develop a safety plan. The rule applies to all transit operators who are direct recipients or sub-recipients under FTA’s Urbanized Area Formula Program (FTA Section 5307). The PTASP rule became effective July 19, 2019; however, due to the COVID pandemic, FTA has extended the compliance deadline from July 20, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Each transit operator must establish and self-certify its initial PTASP by the deadline and re-certify its plan on an annual basis thereafter.

As part of the PTASP, each transit agency must establish safety performance targets to address the safety performance measures identified in the National Public Transportation Safety Plan. The safety performance targets are included as part of the transit agencies strategies for minimizing the exposure of the public, personnel, and property to unsafe conditions.

Safety targets must be broken down by mode and address the following:

1. Fatalities (total)2. Fatalities (Rate)3. Injuries (total)4. Injuries (Rate)

18

Item 6C

5. Safety Events (total)6. Safety events (Rate)7. System reliability (VRM/failures)

Once established, the PTASP must be submitted to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The MPO must accept each transit operators targets or set its own for the region.

Discussion

On April 14, 2020 the City of Modesto submitted the PTASP for the Modesto Area Express (MAX), with the safety performance targets presented in Table 1. The Modesto City Council adopted the targets on April 7, 2020.

TO: Management and Finance Committee Staff Report Information

FROM: Debbie Trujillo, Assistant Planner


SUBJECT: 2019 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) Monthly Project Status Report FFY 2019/20

Background

As the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Stanislaus Region, the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) programs federal and state transportation funding and ensures that those funds are being secured efficiently. Failing to meet project delivery dates for any phase of a project may jeopardize federal funding to the region.

The 2019 FTIP programmed the region's projects over a period of four federal fiscal years (FFY 18/19, 19/20, 20/21, and 21/22) and is a comprehensive list of transportation projects that receive federal funds, require a federal action, or are regionally significant. StanCOG closely monitors the status of all projects programmed in the FTIP through close communication with the local jurisdictions.

Discussion

The 2019 FTIP Monthly Project Status Report for FFY 2019/20 demonstrates that, as of August 19, 2020, the Stanislaus Region has obligated 87.32% of its FFY (October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020) federal apportioned funding (see Attachment 1).

Should you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Debbie Trujillo, Assistant Planner, by phone at (209) 525-4639 or via e-mail at [email protected].

SUBJECT: Measure L Funds Received

Background

The Measure L revenue projection per the expenditure plan is $38,000,000, annually. Measure L funds are received monthly from the State Board of Equalization (BOE). Monthly estimated allocations are made by the BOE using methodologies to estimate sales tax revenues based on past reports for the region. The actual amount for sales tax revenue is calculated in the month following the end of each quarter, at which time the BOE will deduct their administrative fees for the quarter and issue a final quarterly payment for the net amount based on the actual quarterly revenue received. Distributions made to jurisdictions for FY 2019/20 are based on receipts from August 1, 2019- July 31, 2020.

Discussion

As of July 24, 2020, StanCOG has received $45,742,643 for FY 2019/20. The attached schedules show the status of the Measure L receipts as of July 2020. Attachment 1 provides the total monthly allocation to date as compared to the total estimated for the Fiscal Year. The year to date comparison between FY 2018/19 and FY 2019/20 reflects a decrease of Measure L revenue of $32,724. For FY 2019/20 StanCOG received $45,742,643 resulting in $7,742,643 additional funds over the projected amount of $38,000,000.

Attachment 2 reports the allocation of Measure L funds by category and jurisdiction. Attachment 3 identifies the total breakdown by jurisdiction and/or project.

* Using the prior year's quarterly tax allocation as a starting point, the Board of Equalization (BOE) first eliminates nonrecurring transactions such as fund transfers, audit payments and refunds. Then BOEadjusts for growth and the state tax in order to establish the estimated base amount. BOE distributes 90 percent of the base amount to each local jurisdiction in three monthly installments (advances) priorto the final computation of the quarter's actual receipts. BOE withholds ten percent as a reserve against unexpected occurrences that can affect tax collections (for example, earthquake, fire, or othernatural disaster) or distributions of revenue such as unusually large refunds or negative fund transfers. The first and second advances each represent 30 percent of the 90 percent distribution, while thethird advance represents 40 percent.

** One advance payment is made each month, and the quarterly reconciliation and payment (cleanup) is distributed in conjunction with the first advance for the subsequent quarter
