The Action Plan, when adopted by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, will establish additional requirements for the County to satisfy in order to receive it's share of the Measure C-1988 return-to-source revenues, which amounts to approximately $1 .4 million annually. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On June 20, the Board of Supervisors considered a request from the Tri Valley Transportation Council to reconsider Resolution 95/156 approving the Tri Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan Proposal for Adoption (Action Plan) and consider adoption of the Action Plan as submitted to the Board of Supervisors except for the 11 intersections which are forecast to exceed Traffic Service Objective (TSO) standards, and for which acceptable remedial actions will be developed as part of the TVTC's proposed TSO Management Study. The Board conceptually approved the Action Plan with the exception of those locations where violations of Traffic Service Objectives are projected to occur and where no consensus exists for actions to correct these violations and referred this action to the Board's Transportation Committee with a request to report back to the Board with a specific recommendation on this matter. On June 22, the Transportation Committee reviewed the Proposal for Adoption, the revisions in Resolution 95/156, and now recommends replacement of these revisions with what is described in Exhibit A. These revisions are based on the following principles: - Approving portions of the Action Plan where a consensus exists for actions that can meet the TSO. Consistency of Action Plan TSO with Dougherty Valley Settlement Agreement TSO's where they cover the same locations; - Prior Board concerns with the General Plan Amendment review process proposed by the Authority for the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan, and replacing this procedure with a multi-jurisdictional cooperative planning process that requires demonstration of compliance with the TSO at later stages of development approvals. The most significant change is proposed on page 238 which describes the development review procedures required to demonstrate consistency with TSOs. The new text follows: "Development Review Procedures for General Plan Amendments in Contra Costa. Any Tri Valley area general plan amendment in Contra Costa that generates 500 or more peak hour trips than is currently allowed by the applicable General Plan, shall be consistent with this Action Plan if subsequent approvals of final development plans or tentative subdivision maps are preceded by multi-jurisdictional cooperative planning agreements that identify the responsibilities of the participating parties to ensure that the subsequent approvals will not result in a violation of Traffic Service Objectives. Demonstration of compliance with TSO's shall include computer model runs that incorporate each jurisdiction's Five Year Capital Improvement Program of transportation projects and the projects of federal, state and regional agencies such as Caltrans, transit operators, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, etc. In addition, the computer model database will include each local jurisdiction's anticipated land use development projects expected to be constructed within the next five years." The text in italics is taken directly from Page 11 of the Measure C-88 Expenditure Plan where it describes the cooperative multi-jurisdictional planning process to reduce cumulative regional traffic impacts of development. The Transportation Committee did not have time to describe the specifics of these separate multi- jurisdictional cooperative planning agreements. These specifics could be discussed when the Committee meets with representatives for the Danville Town Council. The next meeting is scheduled to occur on June 28. EXHIBIT A TRI =VALLEY TRANSPORTATION PLAN/ ACTION PLAN FOR - ROUTES OF REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE PROPOSAL FOR ADOPTION Prepared for Tri-Valley Transportation Council Prepared by Tri-Valley Technical Advisory Committee In conjunction.with Barton-Aschman Associates,Inc. January 1995 Note: Policy directions or Actions recommended in this draft report are subject to change pending review, comment, and approval by TVTC and its member jurisdictions. Executive Summary Transportation Service Objectives A key element of the plan is the list of Transportation Service Objectives. These are objectives that the Tri-Valley cities and counties should use as a guide to making transportation and land use decisions. In Contra Costa County under Measure C, the jurisdictions are required to make a good-faith effort to comply with the transportation service objectives on routes of regional significance or risk the loss of return-to-source funds. In Alameda County once the plan is adopted, individual jurisdictions are responsi- ble for maintaining Transportation Service Objectives through their general plans. The transportation service objectives adopted by the TVTC are as follows: • Maintain Level of Service ( 0.90) on arte al and measured at intersections. C ns SSS V,1 c 0 mee-I v C o 9 C7 . • Iaintain�leveof Service : (V/C < 0.99) on freeway • Maintain Level of Service E conditions on I-580 for no more than four hours per day (except on Altamont Pass) and on I-680 for no more than eight hours per day. • Do not increase capacity for single-occupant vehicles at gateways. • Increase average vehicle ridership for commute trips by 10 percent. • Increase the transit mode share through providing express transit travel times that are competitive with autos. The TVTP is not intended to be a land use control document, such as a General Plan. While the plan is based on a set of growth assumptions, the plan should not be interpret- ed as limiting growth to the assumed levels. Nevertheiess, the plftn does establish GF@*W_h�- beyead ..ha d I i+ may eeeur- p-n;idea th-a TSCDs 2 a raat If there are TSO violations, or projected TSO violations, in a Tri-Valley jurisdiction, then that jurisdiction can either (a) implement transportation improvements (e.g., road widening) to correct the TSO deficiency on that affected network segment, or (b) implement other measures intended to result in measurable improvements to TSOs on the Routes of Regional Significance network and contribute to significant improvements in air quality. Failing this, the jurisdiction can refer the problem to the TVTC for joint resolution. In the event that the TVTC cannot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members, the jurisdiction may modify the TSO standard, but only if other jurisdictions are not physical- ly impacted. Action Plans in Contra Costa County are required to include the following components: • Long-range assumptions regarding future land use based on local General Plans. • Procedure for review of impacts resulting from proposed local General Plan amend- ments that have the potential to influence the effectiveness of adopted Action Plans. The following are requirements for a Contra Costa County jurisdiction to be considered in compliance in relation to Regional Routes: Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. xiii Executive Summary • Submission to Regional Committee of proposed revision(s) to Action Plan to mitigate impacts associated with proposed General Plan amendments. General Plan amend- ments that would reduce the effectiveness of adopted Action Plans may lead to a determination of non-compliance if the Action Plan cannot be revised with the approval of the Regional Committee and the CCTA. Financing the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan The Tri-Valley Transportation Plan was designed to be a feasible, realistic, financially constrained plan. Still, the plan will require additional funding beyond that provided by .existing sources. Federal and state funds are limited. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is used as the source for estimating future public transportation revenues. Additional funding is suggested through the adoption of a subregional traffic impact fee on new, unapproved development. The . Plan identifies 11 regional transportation improvements that could be funded through the impact fee (see Table E-1). Funding these 11 projects, the fee would calculate to about $2,800 per dwelling unit and $6 per square foot for commercial/office/industrial space. This discussion is preliminary in nature. The project list, cost estimates, and possible fees are subject to change pending further discussion at the TVTC and evaluation of the nexus relationship between new development and its impact on traffic. Plan Implementation In order for the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan to be implemented, it must be adopted by each TVTC member jurisdiction . 4::a sporlatio A 4i en P egion r ion mpac ee concep Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. xiv 3. Goals and Transportation Service Objectives Consistent with the Contra Costa and Alameda countywide transportation plans, the Tri-Valley Transportation Council has adopted the following broad goals to guide this planning effort. • Improve safety • Manage congestion • Enhance mobility • Provide and encourage the use of alternatives to single-occupant auto use • Provide adequate transportation systems to support land use plans • Integrate transportation planning with concerns relating to air quality, community character and other environmental factors • Sustain and support the economic vitality of the region through enhanced mobility. According to Action Plan guidelines, these goals are to be achieved through the specification and monitoring of Transportation Service Objectives (ISOs). TSOs are quantifiable measures of effectiveness that establish a standard for evaluating transportation system effectiveness. No one jurisdiction's actions can assure that traffic service objectives on Regional Routes will be met. Compliance will be determined on the basis of participation and implementation of Action Plans. The following are requirements for a jurisdiction to be considered in compliance in relation to Regional Routes: • Participation in development and adoption of Action Plans. • Local implementation of actions consis- tent with adopted Action Plans. Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 38 Goals and Transportation Service Objectives • Placing conditions on project approvals consistent with Action Plan policies (e.g., requiring payment of fees or participation in the TSM/TDM program). •.

Preliminary TSOs were presented to the Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) in February 1993. After discussion and subsequent modification, the TSOs were approved by the TVTC in March 1993. The following list presents the approved TSOs. One or more will be applied to each regional route, different routes may have different TSOs. Link Levels of Service (LOS). Maintain LOS no worse than E (WC = 0.99) on freeways and ramps during the peak hours based on traffic counts. This represents a very busy condition, with speeds about 35 mph on freeways. This standard is sometimes not met under today's traffic conditions. For freeways, this corresponds to the existing CMP standards. For arterials, the LOS standard is D on a link basis. These are also subject to an intersection LOS standard. Hours of Congestion. Maintain LOS E conditions on I-580 for no more than two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, except over Altamont Pass, where no TSO has been,adopted. LOS E on I-680 for no more than four hours in the morning and four hours in the evening. Given the gateway constraints discussed in Chapter 5, this is the best the plan can achieve. Intersection Levels of Service. Maintain LOS no worse than D (V/C = 0.90) for signal- ized intersections during peak hours where the standard is now being met. Achieve LOS D by 2010 at locations not currently in compliance. The methodology is the VCCC program, which is based on critical movement analysis, with adjustments to raw model output turning movements. Tb-;a i-S, t'ff-e stem and to ..,hie all Tri "ailey juzisdiGtions presently . Under current conditions, only three of the study intersections violate this standard. Tri-Valley Gateways. I-580, I-680, and Crow Canyon Road (Castro Valley to San Ramon) and Vasco Road (north of Livermore). Maintain existing capacity for single- occupant passenger vehicles. Widening of gateways would cause the Tri-Valley area to be negatively affected by interregional traffic. (See Chapter 7 for a complete discussion of this issue.) Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 39 Recommended Improvement Plan 11,000 dwelling units higher than Projections '92 for the Tri-Valley as a whole. Action Plans in Contra Costa County are mandated by Measure C to address growth manage- ment issues when TSOs cannot otherwise be met. CCTA guidelines for Action Plans state that they may include policies to prohibit urban expansion in specified geograph- ic areas and to change the distribution of planned land uses to reduce impacts on regional routes. It should be noted that the TVTP is a 2010 plan and land use recommendations apply to 2010 and not buildout. Action Plans in Contra Costa County are required to include the following components: • Long-range assumptions regarding future land use based on local General Plans. • Procedure for review of impacts resulting from proposed local General Plan amendments that have the potential to influence the effectiveness of adopted Action Plans. The following are requirements for a Contra Costa County jurisdiction to be considered in compliance in relation to Regional Routes: • Submission to Regional Committee of proposed revision(s) to Action Plan to mitigate impacts associated with proposed General Plan amendments.

The Growth Man-.gement Program directs the RTPCs to evaluate proposed amend- ments only in relation to issues affecting Action Plan success and consistency. It will be the responsibility of the jurisdiction considering the amendment to either: 1. Demonstrate that the amendment will not violate Action Plan policies or the ability to meet Action Plan Traffic Service Objectives; or 2. Propose modification to the Action Plan that will prevent the General Plan amend- ment from adversely affecting the regional transportation network. If neither of these can be done, approval of the General Plan amendment may lead to a findings of non-compliance with the Growth Management Program(z General Plan Consistency with Contra Costa County Action Plans The Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance will be based upon adopted General Plan land uses, the existing road network, and planned improvements to the network.

Install ramp metering at all freeway on-ramps, provided study shows metering would be equitable and effective as agreed to by Caltrans and the TVTC and provided sufficient stacking space is available. Provide HOV bypass lanes wherever space permits. The TVTC should take the lead and seek funding for a study of ramp metering. 5. Support growth that achieves an overall jobs-housing balance within the Tri-Valley. 6. Support regional gasoline taxes to encourage commute alternatives and provide funds for needed transportation projects. 7. Support development of a seamless HOV network in the Tri-Valley to encourage the use of carpools and bus transit. TVTC shall work cooperatively with Caltrans, MTC, and affected jurisdictions to explore opportunities for expanding the HOV system, especially on I-580, subject to cost-effectiveness analysis and/or change to legislation prohibiting them. 8. Request that transit agencies conduct a study of the formation of a transit benefit district to finance ongoing transit operating costs. 9. Support the preparation by Caltrans of an incident management plan for the state highways in the Tri-Valley area. The TVTC recognizes that incidents can have a profound effect on traffic conditions both on the freeways and on the arterials. Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance This section details the various objectives and actions for each designated route of regional significance within the Tri-Valley. Specific Traffic Service Objectives are present- ed, together with a set of actions directed at achieving those objectives. The parties responsible for implementing the actions are also identified. Once the Plan is adopted, each jurisdiction will be responsible for making a good-faith effort to implement the 8 agreed-upon actions. In Contra Costa County, a jurisdiction's compliance with the I* Measure C Growth Management Program will be judged based upon its efforts to implement agreed-upon actions. The actions, programs, and measures identified in the Action Plan are intended to mitigate congestion and achieve the Traffic Service Objectives assuming that future traffic will be constrained by the limited capacities of highway facilities serving the Tri-Valley Gateways (see Chapter 5, "Gateway Constraints"). .6—!1. individual jttris4iet4an may a4se i - Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 166 Action Plan Tri-Valley Action Plan Highways—D *t,. .r,...,.:,..., Key Locations Facility:Sycamore Valley Road East of 1-680 Existing Configuration 4 lanes Existing Volume' 1,800 Existing V/C 0.50 2010 Expected Network Planned changes:None 2010 Configuration 4 lanes Volume 2,360 Transit Service(buses/hour both di- 8 rections) Transit Ridership(peak hour) 58 V/C constrained[before Action Pian) 0.65 (unconstrained) Traffic Pattern Danville 44% San Ramon 2% CCC 48% Livermore 6% Pleasanton 0% Dublin 0% TSO to be achieved V/C <0.90 at inter- section.

The study should indicate the development reductions, land use density reductions, or other types of growth management/control that would be required for each applicable Tri-Valley jurisdiction in order to achieve TSO standards. Any development reduction should be proportional to the traffic distribution percentages for each jurisdiction. Also, the impact of this development reduction to traffic impact fees should be analyzed. All jurisdictions will then review this information and know exactly how much reduction in development or growth management/control is needed to meet the TSOs. Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 232 Plan Implementation, Monitoring, and Review Objectives could still be met. If further transportation improvements are necessary beyond what are in the TVTP, the jurisdiction should specify how they will be funded. The Action Plans for Routes of Regional Significance will be based upon adopted General Plan land uses, the existing road network, and planned improvements to the network. Consistency with the Action Plans must be established for any changes to the General Plan that may significantly reduce the ability of the facility to meet the Traffic Service Objectives. The Regional Committee will be responsible for establishing the type and size of amendment that will require review by the Regional Committee and the process for implementing this review. Approval of a General Plan Amendment found to be inconsistent with the adopted Action Plans may render the jurisdiction ineligible for Local Street Maintenance Improvement Funds from the CCTA. Consistency with the Action Plans can be achieved by revising the proposed amend- ment, adopting local actions to offset impacts to the Route of Regional Significance, or Council or Board denial of the amendment. Growth Management Tools. The TVTP is not intended to be a land use control document. While the plan is based on a set of growth assumptions, the plan should not be interpreted as limiting growth to the assumed levels. Nevertheless, the plan does establish Transportation Service Objectives, which may indirectly influence growth rates. . If there are TSO violations, or projected TSO violations, in a Tri-Valley jurisdiction, then that jurisdiction can either (a) implement transportation improvements (e.g., road widening) to correct the TSO deficiency on that affected network segment, or (b) implement other measures intended to result in measurable improvements to TSOs on the Routes of Regional Significance network and contribute to significant improvements in air quality. Failing this, the jurisdiction can refer the problem to the TVTC for joint resolution. In the event that the TVTC cannot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members, the jurisdiction may modify the TSO standard, but only if other jurisdictions are not physically impacted.

The Growth Management Program directs the RTPCs to evaluate proposed amendments only in relation to issues affecting Action Plan success and consistency. It will be the responsibility of the jurisdiction considering the amendment to either: 1. Demonstrate that the amendment will not violate Action Plan policies or the ability to meet Action Plan Traffic Service Objectives; or Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 237 i Plan Implementation, Monitoring, and Review 2. Propose modification to the Action Plan that will prevent the General Plan amend- ment from adversely affecting the regional transportation network. If neither of these can be done, approval of the General Plan amendment may lead to a finding of non-compliance with the Growth Management Program. (NSE2T 'W' HERE Amending the Plan Amendments can be triggered by: periodic review of the plan (every two to four years); identification of TSO violations; a jurisdiction's proposal to adopt a major general plan amendment that was not considered in the existing plan; and/or a change in the major assumptions underlying the Plan. A change in the assumptions for Gateway Con- straints would constitute the latter. This plan is based upon the assumption that major gateways into Tri-Valley will not be expanded beyond the capacities assumed in the Expected Network as set forth in Chapter 5. Any change in these assumptions, such as the addition of HOV lanes on I-580 over the Altamont Pass, would require that this plan be amended to incorporate revised assumptions for the Tri-Valley gateway constraints. Increased capacity at the gateways could significantly increase projected congestion on downstream freeway sections and arterial streets. As specified in the Joint Powers Agreement governing the TVTC, amendments to the plan will require a unanimous vote of all members of the TVTC. Conflict Resolution Because of the importance of support for the Plan by all members of the TVTC, the Council should act on a consensus basis. However, some cases may arise in which consensus cannot be reached. In cases where conflict exists between jurisdictions within one county, resolution should be negotiated through the forum of the Conges- tion Management Agency for the respective county.

Future Role of TVTC It is anticipated that implementation of the Action Plan will rest primarily with the individual jurisdictions. However, the plan has identified some continuing functions for the TVTC, as follows: • Housing and future updates of the Tri-Valley Model • Updates and amendments to the Tri-Valley Transportation Plan • Development and implementation of a regional traffic impact fee • Coordinated implementation of Actions requiring interjurisdictional cooperation Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 239 ADDENDUM TO EXHIBIT A of ITEM D.6, ON TttE 64-?/9'g BOARD AGENDA REFLECTING GHANGE5 ADDF-D AT TI-fE MgFTIIrlG E X H I B I T A TRI -VALLEY TRANSPORTATION PLAN/ ACTION PLAN FOR - ROUTES OF REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE PROPOSAL FOR ADOPTION Prepared for Tri-Valley Transportation Council Prepared by Trl-Valley Technical Advisory Committee In conjunction with Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. January 1995 Note: Policy directions or Actions recommended in this draft report are subject to change pending review, comment, and approval by TVTC and its member jurisdictions. Executive Summary Transportation Service Objectives A key element of the plan is the list of Transportation Service Objectives. These are objectives that the Tri-Valley cities and counties should use as a guide to making transportation and land use decisions. In Contra Costa County under Measure C, the jurisdictions are required to make,a good-faith effort to comply with the transportation service objectives on routes of regional significance or risk the loss of return-to-source funds. In Alameda County once the plan is adopted, individual jurisdictions are responsi- ble for maintaining Transportation Service Objectives through their general plans. The transportation service objectives adopted by the TVTC are as follows: CC .`91 • tain Level of SUrvice I (� 4.90) on� ials/ and measured at intersections. • tauz�eve�of Service (V/ < 0.99)on freeways!C 09(� . • Maintain Level of Service E conditions on I-580 for no more than four hours per day (except on Altamont Pass) and on 1-680 for no more than eight hours per day. • Do not increase capacity for single-occupant vehicles at gateways. • Increase average vehicle ridership for commute trips by 10 percent. • Increase the transit mode share through providing express transit travel times that are competitive with autos. The TVTP is not intended to be a land use control document, such as a General Plana While the plan is based on a set of growth assumptions, the plan should not be interpret- ed as limiting growth to the assumed levels.

In the event that the TVTC cannot resolve the violation to the mutual satisfaction of all members, the jurisdiction may modify the TSO standard, but only if other jurisdictions are not physical- ly impacted. Action Plans in Contra Costa County are required to include the following components: • Long-range assumptions regarding future land use based on local General Plans. • Procedure for review of impacts resulting from proposed local General Plan amend- mentsthat have the potential to influence the effectiveness of adopted Action Plans. The following are requirements for a Contra Costa County jurisdiction to be considered in compliance in relation to Regional Routes: Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. xiii Action Plan Tri-Valley Action Plan Highways—Danville Yiirsoen Key Locations Facility:Sycamore Valley Road East of 1-680 Existing Configuration 4 lanes Existing Volume' 1,800 Existing V/C 0.50 2010 Expected Network Planned changes: None 2010 Configuration 4 lanes Volume 2,360 Transit Service(buses/hour both di- 8 rections) Transit Ridership (peak hour) 58 V/C constrained[before Action Plan] 0.65 (unconstrained) Traffic Pattern Danville 44% San Ramon 2% CCC 48% Livermore 6% Pleasanton 0% Dublin 0% TSO to be achieved V/C <0.90 at inter- section.

Propose modification to the Action Plan that will prevent the General Plan amend- ment from adversely affecting the regional transportation network. If neither of these can be done, approval of the General Plan amendment may lead to a finding of non-compliance with the Growth Management Program. 1NSS2rr *4^ HERE Amending the Plan Amendments can be triggered by: periodic review of the plan (every two to four years); identification of TSO violations; a jurisdiction's proposal to adopt a major general plan amendment that was not considered in the existing plan; and/or a change in the major assumptions underlying the Plan. A change in the assumptions for Gateway Con- straints would constitute the latter. This plan is based upon the assumption that major gateways into Tri-Valley will not be expanded beyond the capacities assumed in the Expected Network as set forth in Chapter 5. Any change in these assumptions, such as the addition of HOV lanes on I-580 over the Altamont Pass, would require that this plan be amended to incorporate revised assumptions for the Tri-Valley gateway constraints. Increased capacity at the gateways could significantly increase projected congestion on downstream freeway sections and arterial streets. As specified in the Joint Powers Agreement governing the TVTC, amendments to the plan will require a unanimous vote of all members of the TVTC. Conflict Resolution Because of the importance of support for the Plan by all members of the TVTC, the Council should act on a consensus basis. However, some cases may arise in which consensus cannot be reached. In cases where conflict exists between jurisdictions within one county, resolution should be negotiated through the forum of the Conges- tion Management Agency for the respective county.
