Agenda Packet - Pg.9 of 47 TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE 5. Meeting Date:10/07/2019   Subject:Shared Mobility Device Ordinance Submitted For: TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE,  Department:Conservation & Development Referral No.: 22   Referral Name: Monitor issues related to docked and dockless bike share programs.  Presenter: Robert Sarmiento, DCD Contact: Robert Sarmiento (925)674-7822 Referral History: In late 2017, several bikeshare companies launched dockless* operations throughout the United States. In early 2018, the Shadelands business center, located in Walnut Creek, initiated a pilot program with a dockless bikeshare vendor (LimeBike). Shortly thereafter, Limebike bicycles began appearing at the Contra Costa Centre and on the Iron Horse Trail. Unlike Walnut Creek and other cities in Contra Costa County that entered into agreements with LimeBike, Contra Costa County was not approached by the company prior to operations in the unincorporated area. In March 2018, TWIC received a report of abandoned and haphazardly parked bicycles at the Contra Costa Centre and directed staff to develop dockless bikeshare policies and agreements. Staff was further directed to consult with dockless bikeshare companies in order to ensure we would not unnecessarily stifle entrepreneurship and innovation. In July 2018, TWIC received an update on staff's efforts to develop dockless bikeshare policies and agreements and directed staff to develop an ordinance that regulates dockless bikeshare and other shared mobility devices and bring it before the Board of Supervisors for consideration. This issue is rapidly changing, LimeBike is now doing business as “Lime”, no longer operates in Contra Costa and is primarily engaged in scooter share operations among other last mile solutions. * There are two predominant types of bike share systems, docked and dockless. As the names imply, docked bikes need to be both rented and returned to specific docking stations. Dockless bike are rented and tracked via GPS and wireless technology and can be rented and left at virtually any location. Referral Update: Staff from the Department of Conservation and Development, Public Works Department, and 10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.10 of 47 Staff from the Department of Conservation and Development, Public Works Department, and County Counsel have developed a draft ordinance (Exhibit A) that regulates shared mobility device (“device”) operations, including those currently prevalent in use (e.g. bicycles and scooters) and those that may emerge in the future. During development of the ordinance, staff reached out to a number of device operators (“vendors”) and Contra Costa Centre property management staff for their input. Prior to bringing it before the Board of Supervisors for consideration, staff is presenting the draft ordinance to TWIC for its review. Summary of the Draft Ordinance  General Requirements A dockless device may not be placed or parked in the public right-of-way unless an encroachment permit has been issued. Docked devices and docking stations are prohibited within the right-of-way. Term An encroachment permit to park devices in the public right-of-way will be issued for a one-year term. It may be renewed for successive one-year terms.** Parking Requirements A device must be parked only at a location(s) designated in the encroachment permit. It must be parked in the upright position. A device may not obstruct a sidewalk, a travel lane, or on-street parking area of a public road or highway. It must be parked a minimum of 10 feet away from features located in the right-of-way (e.g. fire hydrant, disabled parking zone, curb ramp, transit stop, driveway).*** Maintenance and Operational Requirements A device must comply with the applicable requirements of the California Vehicle Code and all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. It must include both self-locking technology and a GPS-based tracking system. The device must have affixed to it a label that identifies the vendor and the vendor's 24-hour customer service telephone number. Retrieval and Communications The vendor must maintain a 24-hour toll-free customer service telephone number. The vendor must provide a retrieval plan, which includes the names and telephone numbers of people responsible for relocating, removing, retrieving, and rebalancing the device fleet, to the County prior to issuance of the encroachment permit. Impoundment The County may impound the devices if the vendor fails to relocate, remove, retrieve, or rebalance them consistent with the vendor’s retrieval plan. The vendor must reimburse the County for costs incurred for impounding and storing devices. If a device is not retrieved within 30 days after impoundment, the County may revoke the vendor’s encroachment permit. Insurance and Indemnity Consistent with other encroachment permits, the vendor must maintain certain policies of insurance that name the County as an additional insured.The insurance required by the ordinance includes general liability insurance with a policy limit of at least $2,000,000.The vendor also must indemnify the County against liabilities that arise from the activities covered by the permit. Security An applicant for an encroachment permit to operate devices in the right-of-way must provide a security in an amount to be determined by the Public Works Director (no less than $1,000) to 10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.11 of 47 cover County costs to remove all devices authorized under a permit and restore the right-of-way to its former condition.  Data Sharing The vendor must satisfy all data-sharing requirements. The data type**** to be submitted by the vendor will be approved by the Board of Supervisors concurrently with the draft ordinance. ** In its guidelines on shared mobility device operations, National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) recommends limiting the duration of vendor operations to a fixed time period and requiring vendors to re-apply for each renewal. This would allow jurisdictions to evaluate vendor operations and performance and refine operational requirements. *** In its guidance document on bikeshare regulation, the North American Bikeshare Association (NABSA) suggests that jurisdictions consider specific bikeshare parking regulations near features located in the right-of-way. **** County staff is currently researching other jurisdictions’ data sharing requirements as a possible model for the County’s data sharing requirements. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): RECEIVE update on the draft shared mobility device ordinance and DIRECT staff to bring the matter to the Board of Supervisors for consideration.

Agenda Packet - Pg.24 of 47 of federal felony criminal violations by the Department of Justice for the 2010 San Bruno  incident.     2) Recommend to PHMSA, the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the California Public  Utilities Commission that they make information about a pipeline’s High Consequence  Area (HCA) designation easily available to the public.    Hazardous Liquid pipelines that could affect HCAs, which include high population areas, certain  drinking water sources, or some ecologically sensitive areas, must prepare integrity  management plans and adhere to stricter assessment rules than pipelines that could not affect  an HCA in the event of a failure. Information about which pipeline segments are, and are not,  within HCAs is not easily available to the public.     3) Support federal legislation that improves leak detection systems in pipelines.    PHMSA has been working on a rule‐making process for seven years to address the findings of a  2013 study on the technical limitations of current leak detection systems, but no new or  proposed rules have been release for public review.     4) Support federal legislation that requires pipeline operators to contract for an  independent technical seismic vulnerability study on HCA pipelines affected by  potentially active faults to feed into the pipeline risk analysis, and make the study  available to the public.     The Alamo Improvement Association contracted with a private engineering firm to conduct  seismic review report of the pipelines in the Alamo area which yielded recommendations about  how to address current potential vulnerabilities.     5) Recommend to the California Department of Education that they complete their review  of school siting and design standards review that was begun in 2016 and that they  implement the recommendations the Commission made previously.    In January, 2018 the Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors recommend to the  California Department of Education that they amend the regulations pertaining to the rebuilding of  schools on the site of existing schools to require that the current risks from accidental explosions and  fire of hazardous materials used, stored, manufactured or transported at industrial facilities, in pipelines  and by rail be assessed and mitigated. The review begun in 2016 has stalled out, and there is no current  effort underway to complete the review.     10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.25 of 47 6) Recommend to the California Department of Education, local community colleges, and local  School Districts that they use the enclosed brochure or other, similar brochure to encourage  schools to address pipeline incidents in their emergency response plans, and encourage existing  schools to mitigate the risks from nearby pipelines utilizing the state guidelines that have been  developed for siting new schools.     The County Hazardous Materials Program and Public Works Department, the Contra Costa CAER group,  the Contra Costa County Fire District and the San Ramon Valley Fire District developed the enclosed  brochure to be used by schools, daycare centers, Senior Centers, medical facilities and other “Sensitive  Receptors” to educate them about pipeline safety issues and the need to address potential pipeline  incidents in their Emergency Response Plans.     7) Recommend to pipeline operators that they reach out to the schools along their pipeline  easements and offer to provide technical assistance assessing pipeline risks and evacuation  strategies. Offer to provide them the County brochure on pipeline safety and emergency  planning if they don’t already have appropriate educational materials.     The County Hazardous Materials Program and Public Works Department, the Contra Costa CAER group,  the Contra Costa County Fire District and the San Ramon Valley Fire District developed the enclosed  brochure to be used by schools, daycare centers, Senior Centers, medical facilities and other “Sensitive  Receptors” to educate them about pipeline safety issues and the need to address potential pipeline  incidents in their Emergency Response Plans.     Sincerely,      George Smith  Chairperson, Hazardous Materials Commission     10-03-19 TWIC Mtg.

Submitted For: TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE,  Department:Conservation & Development Referral No.: 15   Referral Name: Safety of freight trains, rail corridors…  Presenter: John Cunningham, DCD Contact: Colin Piethe (925)674-7755 Referral History: This is a new issue being brought to TWIC. Referral Update: On 6/11/2019, The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sent a letter to each of the County Supervisors regarding their 2017 study of trespass-related pedestrian fatalities on railways. The letter noted that trespass-related pedestrian fatalities have increased by 18% in recent years; from 725 in 2012 to 855 in 2017. The FRA also found that 6 of the 10 Counties with the highest number of collisions are located in California, including Contra Costa County, which has seen 55 fatalities during that five year time period. In response to this increase in fatalities, the FRA developed the National Strategy for Trespass on Railroad Property in December 2018. One of the strategies identified in the plan is to partner with local jurisdictions and stakeholders. The FRA has begun to organize regional Railroad Trespassing Summits across the Nation to raise awareness and drive resources towards this pressing safety issue. The FRA has requested the assistance of Contra Costa and Alameda Counties in planning a summit in the East Bay area in May 2020. On a project introduction phone call on 7/10/2019, FRA staff explained to Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) and Public Works (DPW) staff that they are organizing three summits in California; one in Northern, Central, and Southern California. FRA staff requested assistance from Alameda and Contra Costa staff with several tasks: 1. Contacting the County’s local jurisdictions to request that their elected officials and relevant staff to participate in the summit, 2. Identifying a venue for hosting the summit, and 3. Assisting with marketing and communications to spread the word about the summit. 10-03-19 TWIC Mtg. Agenda Packet - Pg.33 of 47 Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): Staff from Alameda and Contra Costa have been working together to identify a suitable location. Other next steps involve ongoing coordination with FRA contacts and identifying appropriate County staff to attend the summit, including the Supervisors, council members, mayors, transportation planners, engineers, staff specializing in homeless issues, and communications staff. Staff will also develop a plan for engaging local jurisdictions throughout the County to request that they attend the summit. Fiscal Impact (if any): Unknown. County staff has requested that FRA identify/provide funding sources to cover staff time and resources. Attachments Federal Railroad Admn_Mitchoff 10-03-19 TWIC Mtg.
