TRANSPORTATION, WATER &
INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE 5.
Meeting Date:05/10/2021
Subject:CONSIDER Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation
Account Project List for unincorporated Contra Costa County & DIRECT
staff
Submitted For: TRANSPORTATION, WATER & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE,
Department:Conservation & Development
Referral No.: 1
Referral Name: Review legislative matters on transportation, water, and infrastructure
Presenter: Nancy Wein, PWD Contact: Nancy Wein
(925)313-2275
Referral History:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which is known as the Road Repair
and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 significantly increased the annual gas tax revenue cities and
counties receive from the state. In fact, the County will almost receive double the amount of gas
tax revenue it used to prior to 2017 by FY22/23. SB1 generates more than $5 billion annually
statewide that goes directly for maintenance, repair, and safety improvements on state highways,
local streets and roads, bridges, tunnels and overpasses.
SB1 includes performance and reporting requirements in order to be eligible to receive the
RMRA funds. The information and recommendations in this report, once approved by the TWIC
and the Board of Supervisors, will fulfill these requirements.
Referral Update:
Since 2017, California cities and counties have been seeing a significant influx of new
transportation funding from SB1 to invest in the local street and road system.
SB1 increased several taxes and fees to raise over $5 billion annually in new transportation
revenues. SB1 also includes inflationary adjustments in the revenue to local agencies so that the
purchasing power of the funds does not decrease as it has in the past. SB1 prioritizes funding
towards maintenance and rehabilitation and safety improvements on state highways, local streets
and roads, and bridges and to improve the state’s trade corridors, transit, and active transportation
facilities.
SB1 Funds were available to cities and counties starting in FY 2017/2018 and are comprised of
two parts—an increase in the original gas tax revenue that local agencies have been receiving
prior to 2017 and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) program funds. The
05-10-2021, TWIC Meeting Agenda Packet - Page 9 of 30
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) annually provides an estimate of the total
revenues the County can expect from this transportation bill, including the total estimated revenue
for RMRA program funds. CSAC estimates the County will receive about $41.4 million in total
transportation funding in FY 2021/2022 from SB1, which is almost double what the County
received prior to 2017. Approximately $16.7 million of that amount is from the RMRA program.
This amount will continue to grow in future years with the built-in inflationary index.
SB1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s
transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, state statute
requires cities and counties to provide basic RMRA project reporting to the California
Transportation Commission (CTC).
Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, a
city or county must submit to the CTC a list of projects (including maintenance activities)
proposed to be funded with these funds. All projects proposed to receive funding must be
reviewed and approved by the applicable city council or county board of supervisors at a regular
public meeting.
The list of projects must include a description and location of each proposed project, a proposed
schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. (See
Attachment A) The project list does not limit the flexibility of an eligible city or county to fund
projects in accordance with local needs and priorities so long as the projects are consistent with
RMRA priorities as outlined in the applicable code sections. Some example projects and uses for
RMRA funding include, but are not limited to the following:
• Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
• Safety Projects
• Railroad Grade Separations
• Complete Streets Components (including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle
safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with
any other allowable project)
• Traffic Control Devices
Streets and Highways Code Section 2030(b)(2) states that funds made available by the program
may also be used to satisfy a match requirement in order to obtain state or federal funds for
projects authorized by this subdivision.
The County currently uses the majority of the Gas Tax funds towards public roadway
maintenance and repair for approximately 660 miles of the roadway network in the
unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County to ensure a safe and convenient public travel in a
variety of modes: driving, walking and bicycling. These funds are also used to improve traffic
safety throughout the County by using it as the local match to leverage funds from state and
federal grant programs.
In FY 2021/2022 it is proposed to designate the majority of the RMRA funds for maintenance
activities. The range of proposed projects in future years is expected to broaden as the amount of
RMRA funds increases.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
REVIEW the recommended list of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)(SB1)
05-10-2021, TWIC Meeting Agenda Packet - Page 10 of 30
REVIEW the recommended list of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)(SB1)
funded road projects, RECEIVE public comment, and DIRECT staff to perform any changes or
revisions to the recommended project list. RECOMMEND the Board of Supervisors approve
project list, and direct staff to proceed with submitting the Fiscal Year 2021/2022 list of projects
to the California Transportation Commission prior to the July 1, 2021, submittal deadline for
approval.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
If a project list is not reviewed by the TWIC, forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for approval,
and submitted to the CTC by the July 1, 2021, deadline, the County will not be eligible to receive
its portion of RMRA funds and the projects listed above will not be constructed.

Rationale for Project List Selection for FY 202 1/202 2 RMRA allocation
Staff has developed a recommended list of projects for the Transportation Water and Infrastructure
Committee (TWIC) and the Board of Supervisors to consider submitting to the California Transportation
Commission (CTC).
The following criteria will be used by staff when developing the current and future project list for RMRA
funds:
• Eligibility criteria for RMRA fund s as shown in the text of Senate Bill 1 (SB1 ).
• Emergency storm damage projects that exceeded existing road fund revenue capacity
• Maintenance and rehabilitation priorities
• Roadway safety
• Expiring grants where local funds are necessary to complete the funding package
• Geographic equity
• Multi-modal benefits in accordance with the Board of Supervisor’s Complete Streets policy
• Positive impact to Road Program performance metrics
• Meeting customer expectations
The County currently uses the majority of the total gas tax funds received towards public roadway
maintenance and repair for approximately 660 miles of the roadway network in the unincorporated areas

of Contra Costa County to ensure a safe and convenient public travel in a variety of modes: driving,
walking and bicycling. These funds are also u sed to improve traffic safety throughout the County by
using it as the local match to leverage funds from state and federal grant programs.
The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) annually provides an estimate of the total funds
the County can expect from gas tax revenue , includin g the total estimated amount for RMRA program
funds from SB1 . In January, CSAC estimated the County will receive about $41.4 million in total
transportation funding in FY 2 021/2022, which is almost double what the County received prior to 2017.
Approximately $16.7 million of that amount is from the RMRA program , which is reported below. The
January 2021 estimate is the most current and factors in the impacts due to COVID.
In FY 20 21/20 22 it is proposed to designate the majority of the RMRA funds for maintenance activities.
The range of proposed projects in future years is expected to broaden as the amount of RMRA funds
increases.

Smith, Watts & Company, LLC.
Consulting and Governmental Relations
April 28, 2021
TO: Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Mark Watts
SUBJECT: Sacramento Report – May 2021 TWIC Meeting
This report provides a status update on activities undertaken by the Newsom Admisntration and
key legislative or state budget activities.
Newsom Administration
Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI)
The CTC conducted significant Work Shops over two days on that CAPTI – Climate Action Plan
and the public comment on the CAPTI closes on May 4.
This effort outlines investment strategies for billions of discretionary transportation dollars
annually under programming or grant award control of state agencies. The objective of the new
plan is to target transportation programs for adaptation to climate change while supporting
public health, safety and equity. The plan builds on executive orders signed by Governor Gavin
Newsom in 2019 and 2020 targeted at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in
transportation.
A key aspect the Secretary has emphasized is the recognition that California will continue the
“fix‐it‐first” approach to maintaining the state’s highways, roads and bridges as outlined in SB 1.
Legislature
Because of a boost in state tax revenue and $26 billion from the American Rescue Plan, the
Assembly is revising its 2021 Budget Blueprint, originally unveiled in December. The surplus and
federal funding boost will provide additional investment opportunities to ensure, and even
accelerate, an economic recovery that is inclusive of all Californians.
Priorities of the Assembly Democratic leadership for recovery activity include:
‐ Increasing access to green spaces,
‐ remediation of air, water and ground water pollution, and
‐ fully funding active transportation project backlog to expand non‐motorized mobility.
It is anticipated that as the Governor’s annual budget revision to revenue and work load figures
will be forthcoming in mid‐May, the discussion between the two houses and the governor will
be lot more flexible than in prior years due to the fluidity of the state budget revenues.
