Costa
(Supervisor Mary Nejedly Piepho, Chair)
County
DATE: November 14, 2005
SUBJECT: Adoption of goals for state transportation legislation in 2006
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
ADOPT the goals for state legislation on transportation in 2006 as described in Exhibit A, as
recommended by the Transportation,Water and Infrastructure Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT
NONE from adopting the goals. If some of the goals are successfully pursued,there could be
more state funding available for transportation improvements in Contra Costa County and
elsewhere.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Each year the Board of Supervisors adopts a set of goals for transportation-related legislative
advocacy for the coming year.The Board's Transportation,Water and Infrastructure Committee
and staff work with the County's legislative advocacy firm on transportation, to try to attain the
legislative goals. In some cases the goals may lead to the County's sponsorship of legislation,
while in other cases the goals serve as a framework for the County to take positions on bills
sponsored by others.
Exhibit A provides goals for the 2006 state legislative session as reviewed and recommended
by the Committee. The goals for 2006 are based on those from 2005 with a few changes for
brevity. Specifically, a legislative objective for improving the safety of students walking and
bicycling to school has been added to goal#3(the transportation safety goal)rather than being
a separate goal of its own,as it was in 2005;and the concept of traffic-calming also been added
to the safety goal rather than being a goal of its own.The only other recommended change for
2006 is that airports have been added to goal#8,which previously listed maritime ports and rail
yards but did not include airp rt
rts%.

Adoption of goals for state transportation legislation in 2006
November 14,2005
Page 2 ����►
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS(Continued
The goals focus on state legislation rather than federal legislation.The County historically
has not adopted goals for federal transportation bills because federal bills don't directly
impact the County or its transportation plans or projects. The County's federal
transportation platform generally focuses on earmark requests for specific transportation
projects, rather than legislative goals. Such requests will be part of the federal legislative
platform which will be brought to the Board of Supervisors by the County Administrator.
Exhibit B provides a list of all of the state bills on transportation on which the Board of
Supervisors adopted a position in 2005,and the status of those bills.As the table indicates,
County-supported efforts succeeded in 2005 on design-build contracting (S13 287),
counties'joint-development rights with BART(AB 1170),and the Bay Bridge resolution.On
the other hand,S13 3,aCounty-sponsored bill to create adouble-fine zone on Vasco Road,
faced a veto by the Governor(along with other double-fine zone bills from around the state)
and was withdrawn by Senator Torlakson from the Governor's desk before it was vetoed.
The Transportation,Water and Infrastructure Committee was informed by a representative
of Smith Watts Co.at its November 14 meeting that Senator Torlakson intends to resubmit
the Vasco Road bill in the 2006 session.Smith Watts is the County's legislative advocate
for transportation in Sacramento.
