OVERALL WORK PROGRAM OVERVIEW A. INTRODUCTION The Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is a Joint Powers Agency created originally as the Stanislaus Area Association of Governments (SAAG) on May 11, 1971 by the County of Stanislaus and the Cities of Ceres, Hughson, Modesto, Newman, Riverbank, Turlock, Oakdale, Patterson, and Waterford and operates in accordance with (1) the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), which its member agencies have signed; (2) its Bylaws; and (3) the Appendices to the Bylaws. The JPA was rewritten to update language and confirm that StanCOG is an independent agency on March 27, 2001. Moreover, the agency officially adopted the new name Stanislaus Council of Governments or StanCOG on June 1, 2001. The JPA has been amended several times with the last amendment being on November 13, 2018. As the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and state-designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the Stanislaus County region, StanCOG is designated by law to have lead responsibility for the development of the area's transportation plans and to coordinate the transportation planning process. All urban areas with a population exceeding 50,000 are required to have an MPO if local agencies spend federal funds on transportation improvements. The planning process includes making informed predictions about future transportation needs, investigating and assessing alternative actions for meeting those needs, and making recommendations about which course of action to pursue. The information generated by this process is used by decision-makers to select transportation policies and programs from the choice of alternatives. As a result of the passage of Measure L (Local Roads First Transportation Funding Measure) on November 8, 2016 with 71.95% voter approval, StanCOG is also the Local Transportation Authority (LTA) for the Stanislaus region. This measure provides for the implementation of the Expenditure Plan, as approved and adopted by StanCOG, which will result in countywide local street and road improvements, arterial street widening, signalization, bicyclist, pedestrian, and driver safety, regional projects, and transit improvements. These needed improvements shall be funded by a one-half of one percent retail transactions and use tax established for a twenty-five-year period. The Operative date of this Measure is April 1, 2017 and shall expire on March 31, 2042. Over the course of the 25-year Expenditure Plan, it is conservatively estimated that $960 million dollars in sales tax revenue will be generated for transportation investments throughout Stanislaus County. The Overall Work Program (OWP) is a comprehensive inventory of proposed work activities and responsibilities, updated each fiscal year that guides and coordinates the regional transportation planning process of StanCOG. One purpose of the OWP is contractual, between StanCOG and its funding agencies. However, the most important purpose is the scheduling and distribution of work, especially the allocation of resources needed to address the tasks required by the agency. In effect, this work program constitutes a set of instructions for the administration, project management and planning of work to be carried out by staff and/or supplemented by consultants if necessary. It serves as a guide for StanCOG, its member agencies, the public, Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Fiscal Year 2020/21 OWP describes activities that will be performed during Fiscal Year 2020/21 and it assigns institutional responsibility for these tasks. The OWP identifies, within one document, the major activities of regional and interregional significance, which are planned and scheduled for the upcoming fiscal year.


2

B. PURPOSE The OWP is an annual statement of work identifying the planning priorities and activities to be carried out within StanCOG’s metropolitan planning area. The OWP includes a description of the planning work and resulting products, who will perform the work, time frames for completing the work, the cost of the work and the source of the funds. C. STANISLAUS COUNTY REGIONAL ISSUES The Stanislaus County Region faces its share of issues related to growth. Concerns about the environment and quality of life, a slow recovery from the 2008 Recession, a shortage of employment opportunities, rapidly expanding population base, the desire to increase opportunities, the needs of a deteriorating infrastructure, and the decline of stable funding all contribute to the challenges that StanCOG must undertake as the region’s transportation planning agency. The following presents these issues and examples of ongoing and potential strategies that StanCOG must embark on to meet the transportation challenges of the region. 1. Paying for Needed Transportation Improvements Identifying and acquiring funds for the maintenance, rehabilitation, and expansion of Stanislaus County’s transportation infrastructure is a critical regional issue. The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) will continue to carry the region’s transportation goals and values for long-term transportation planning, identifying these issues, and presenting strategies that are grounded with a realistic, financially constrained list of projects. 2. Air Quality Air Quality conformity continues to be a top-ranking issue, and one that affects transportation planning and transportation choices. Stanislaus County is one of the eight counties in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, which is currently designated as a non-attainment area with respect to federal air quality conformity standards for ozone and particulate matter under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM 2.5). 3. Goods Movement StanCOG has long been supportive of intra and interregional goods movement, participating in several joint regional planning efforts in the San Joaquin Valley for the purpose of evaluating infrastructure needs and developing project priorities, strategic programs, and policies to guide goods movement planning in the region. The San Joaquin Valley Goods Movement Sustainable Implementation Plan, identified first and last mile connectors, truck routing and parking needs, rural priority corridors, and a goods movement performance and modeling framework for the San Joaquin Valley. The San Joaquin Valley Interstate and State Route 99 Goods Movement Corridor study identified the freight clusters (intermodal facilities, distribution centers, large manufacturing facilities, etc.) responsible for a large percentage of truck trips within the Valley and to and from other regions in California. It also identified and evaluated the feasibility of specific projects and programs for mitigating traffic congestion and addressing freight traffic safety and other issues. 4. East-West Connectivity Two other significant freight movement projects; the State Route 132 West Freeway/Expressway (SR 132 West) and the North County Corridor (NCC) have been undertaken to independently address freight movement issues along two highly traveled transportation corridors. The SR 132 West project has advanced to the Construction Phase, which officially started on December 20, 2019. The State Route 132 West Freeway/Expressway proposes a four lane freeway/expressway, grade separated structures at various local road crossings, a State Route 99/State Route 132 interchange, and State Route 99 corridor connectivity improvements. The project is being built in two phases. Phase 1, currently under construction, will build a two lane expressway on a new alignment. Phase 2, will construct the remaining portion


3

of the proposed four lane freeway/expressway, the proposed State Route 132/Carpenter Road interchange, the proposed State Route 99/State Route 132 freeway to freeway interchange, and State Route 99 corridor connectivity improvements. The project is intended to improve regional and interregional circulation, relieve traffic congestion along existing State Route 132 (Maze Boulevard), and enhance safety and operations for the transportation network in the area. The North County Corridor (NCC) is a proposed east-west expressway serving directly the communities of Oakdale, Riverbank, and Modesto with interregional connectivity to promote goods movement and safe travel for our entire community. The purpose of the project is to identify a roadway alignment for an east-west facility from SR-108 (McHenry Avenue) north of the City of Modesto to SR-120 approximately six miles east of the City of Oakdale. This new roadway would be approximately 18 miles in length from a location on SR-219 (Kiernan Avenue) to a location on State Route 120, approximately six miles east of the City of Oakdale. The project would serve as a bypass for the cities of Riverbank, Oakdale, and Modesto. The North County Corridor Transportation Expressway Authority anticipates that the ultimate facility would be planned as a multi-lane, access-controlled expressway/freeway with interchanges, at-grade intersections, grade-separated railroad crossings, irrigation district crossings, frontage roads, and local street alignments. The project is in the final stages of the Project Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) phase. Final approval of the Environmental Document is anticipated to occur in the Winter of 2020. Immediately following approval, the county will commence the Final Design phase with the preparation of detailed, working drawings/plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E). 5. Public Transportation Service Transit services are provided individually by the Cities of Ceres, Turlock, Modesto, and the County of Stanislaus. Due to the unique combination of factors impacting the Region, each transit operator has faced significant challenges meeting performance standards while protecting services for transit dependent populations. The operators will continue to pursue opportunities to cooperate and coordinate programs to provide the best possible services with the available resources. StanCOG strives to find new opportunities to support transit and is currently participating in an innovative transit pilot project known as Valley Flex. StanCOG is also sponsoring regional projects to ease the burden on transit operators.

6. Economic Development StanCOG participates in the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley (Partnership) addressing economic development matters, such as San Joaquin Rail Service and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funding. StanCOG is currently providing outreach support to the California State University, Fresno Office of Community and Economic Development in their work with the San Joaquin Valley Regional Broadband Consortium. The Consortium was established by the Partnership to impact change in the lack of high-speed broadband infrastructure throughout the San Joaquin Valley, particularly in rural agricultural communities. StanCOG is coordinating an outreach event so that they may solicit input from local member agency engineers and public works representatives and city/county managers and water districts to support their work to achieve the 98% deployment goal.

StanCOG has championed support of passenger rail in the valley, including assisting the City of Modesto in identifying funding to make much needed multimodal station and safety improvements prior to the extension of ACEforward to Modesto. The investments in rail that are being made will not only improve rail efficiency and performance and reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled and pollutant emissions, but will bring much needed intercity and commuter services, connecting the San Joaquin Valley with Sacramento and the Bay Area, and the station enhancements will have a strong potential for acting as a catalyst for urban revitalization.

D. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The Policy Board The Policy Board of StanCOG is comprised of sixteen voting members (each with one vote), including five members of the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, three council representatives for the City of Modesto, and one council representative from each of the other cities in the County. A Caltrans District 10 representative serves in an “ex-officio” capacity on the Policy Board and actively participates in the discussions. Caltrans is provided time on each Policy Board agenda for a report on transportation issues that could affect StanCOG. Transit within Stanislaus County is represented on the Policy Board through a designated Transit Representative from among Policy Board members. The following are the StanCOG standing committees: Executive Committee The Executive Committee consists of five members of the StanCOG Policy Board: two representatives from the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, one representative from the City of Modesto, and two representatives from among the other Cities. The Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Policy Board are ex-officio two of the five members of the Executive Committee, representing their respective Member Agencies, and serve as the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Executive Committee. This committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Policy Board regarding executive level financial and administrative matters. Management and Finance Committee (MFC) The Management and Finance Committee is composed of each City Manager/Administrator from the nine cities in Stanislaus County and the Chief Administrative Official for the County of Stanislaus. The MFC provides input to the StanCOG Policy Board on financial matters related to transportation projects and programs in the Stanislaus region. Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) The Technical Advisory Committee includes the Public Works and Transit staff from the local jurisdictions in Stanislaus County. This group meets regarding technical matters related to transportation projects and programs. Planning and Programming Working Group (PPWG) The Planning and Programming Working Group, an ad hoc group of planning, public works and transit staff from the local jurisdictions, is convened as needed to discuss matters regarding the programming of transportation projects and programs. Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) The Citizens Advisory Committee is a standing committee of StanCOG that is comprised of ten residents of Stanislaus County. The CAC provides feedback to the Policy Board from the viewpoint of the public on matters related to transportation activities in the Stanislaus region. The ten members of the CAC consist of a representative from each of the ten jurisdictions in the region. Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) In addition to its committees that were created by the Bylaws, StanCOG also maintains the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council. In 1988, SB 498 statutorily created the SSTAC, which meets monthly. The primary focus of the SSTAC is to review any potential unmet transit needs and to advise StanCOG on transit issues. Public comment is taken at the individual meetings. The SSTAC then makes an annual recommendation to the StanCOG Policy Board regarding unmet transit needs that it feels are reasonable to meet. This information is utilized by the Policy Board as one means for its annual unmet transit needs determination and finding. Through the efforts of the SSTAC, numerous transit improvements have been realized or are in the process of being implemented. The activities of the SSTAC are part of StanCOG’s formal public participation procedures.


5

Mobility Advisory Committee (MAC) The Mobility Advisory Committee was formed to provide ad hoc support to StanCOG’s Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA), now known as MOVE. MAC works with MOVE on identifying and addressing the transit needs of Stanislaus County’s senior and disabled populations. Representatives from local social service agencies, public transit operators, and the elderly and disabled communities make up the MAC, which meets as needed. Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) The Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee is a standing committee of StanCOG that is composed of ten residents of Stanislaus County. The BPAC provides input to the Policy Board on matters related to bicycle and pedestrian needs or concerns. It also provides advice on the development of the StanCOG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan. The ten members of the BPAC consist of a representative from each of the ten jurisdictions in the region. Valley Vision Stanislaus Steering Committee (VVS) The Valley Vision Stanislaus Steering Committee is a standing committee of StanCOG. It advises the StanCOG Policy Board on issues related to the development of the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) as part of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). It consists of up to 21 members. Tier I members include one representative from each of the 10 StanCOG Member Agencies, one representative from Local Agency Formation Commission, and one representative from the StanCOG Policy Board. Tier II members are appointed as needed from the Citizens Advisory Committee, Health Industry, Agriculture Industry, Environment/Conservation, Economic Development, Building Industry, Education, Environmental Justice and a Transit User/Provider. Measure L Oversight Committee (MLOC) The Measure L Oversight Committee is an advisory committee of StanCOG that is composed of ten residents of Stanislaus County - one representative from each municipal agency. The MLOC provides an enhanced level of accountability for expenditures made under the Measure L Expenditure Plan to ensure that all voter mandates are carried out and that the financial integrity and performance of the program is maintained.

E. AREAWIDE PLANNING StanCOG’s planning jurisdiction includes all of Stanislaus County. Location Stanislaus County is located in the San Joaquin Valley region of California, which extends from San Joaquin County on the north to Kern County on the south, and from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada on the east to the Coastal Range on the west. The valley is agriculturally-oriented, and the central cities of each county are separated by agricultural land. Commuting patterns have developed extensively between Stanislaus County and the Bay Area, the greater Sacramento area and, to a lesser degree, between other Valley and foothill counties. Existing Regional Agencies Several planning challenges related to transportation, water supply, and air quality transcend county boundaries and require a multi-county approach to address them. In recognition of the need for a multi-county approach to air quality issues, and regional issues in general, StanCOG has joined with the other Valley counties to form the San Joaquin Valley Regional Planning Agencies Directors Committee. This was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the other seven Valley transportation planning agencies for a cooperative work program (part of the MOU with Caltrans). The committee provides a forum for the executive directors of the eight valley MPOs/RTPAs to discuss and collaborate on issues of regional importance, and that impact the larger multi-county region. In FY 2008/09 this relationship was further enhanced when the eight county MOU was amended to create the San Joaquin Valley Regional Policy Council. The Council is composed of two Board Members plus an alternate from each of the eight MPO Governing Boards. The Council’s purpose is to further the relationship between the regions, to provide a forum for the Valley to work on issues of mutual concern, and to develop a joint-valley perspective. The Council provides a mechanism and opportunity for the Valley to speak with one united voice; especially in statewide and federal settings. San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District StanCOG also participates with these agencies and with Caltrans District 10 and Caltrans Headquarters in transportation planning studies and activities including the development and update of the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (FTIP), the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the Congestion Management Process (CMP), and other regional planning efforts. StanCOG has also entered into agreements with the regional transportation planning agencies in the other two northern San Joaquin Valley counties – Merced and San Joaquin. These efforts have included a strengthened three-county agreement that resulted in the creation of a Three-County Transportation Model, enhancing further cooperation in regional and interregional planning. The three-county agreements have established a framework for a broader regional approach to comprehensive planning. StanCOG, San Joaquin, and Merced Policy Board members have met in the past to discuss common problems. The Principles of Cooperation were previously approved where these agencies agreed to (a) submit appropriate clearinghouse notices to each other, (b) exchange information on a regular basis, (c) undertake joint projects when topics of mutual interest are identified, and (d) exchange personal resources when it is mutually beneficial to do so. During the past several years, StanCOG has been involved in other various interregional planning efforts covering the entire San Joaquin Valley area with the eight Valley regional transportation planning agencies, including the Valleywide Goods Movement Studies and the San Joaquin Valley Model Improvement Plan - Phase


8

2, a Three-County Model (TCM) 2015 Update project undertaken to develop a 2015 base year model to support the development of 2018 regional transportation plans for Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG), San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), and Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG). F. STAFFING StanCOG currently has an approved staff of twenty as listed below: 1 – Executive Director 2 – Senior Planners 1 – General Counsel 5 – Associate/Assistant Planners 1 – Deputy Director of Planning & Programming 1 – Planning Technician 1 – Manager of Financial Services 2 – Senior/Financial Services Specialist II 1 – Manager of Administrative Services 1 – Administrative Assistant 1 – Executive Administrative Assistant 1 – Administrative Clerk 1 – Principal Planner 1 – Executive Management Analyst Administration supervision of StanCOG is provided by the Executive Director, under the direction of the Policy Board through the Executive Committee.

G. COORDINATION STATEMENT Intergovernmental coordination is a significant function of StanCOG. A major portion of StanCOG staff’s effort is devoted to this function. From StanCOG’s perspective, four levels of intergovernmental cooperation can be identified: (a) between StanCOG and local agencies, (b) between StanCOG and other regional agencies (c) between StanCOG and the state and (d) between StanCOG and the federal government. 1. Local Agencies StanCOG’s membership, which includes participation from each local government agency within Stanislaus County (including the County government and cities), ensures coordination on local inter-governmental activities. 2. Regional Agencies StanCOG and the neighboring COGs in Merced and San Joaquin Counties, as well as the other five San Joaquin Valley COGs have established several MOUs among themselves, with Caltrans, and with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District that foster coordination among the agencies. The Air District is informed of local planning activities and issues and is invited to comment on StanCOG documents. 3. State Agencies StanCOG maintains a working relationship with Caltrans, particularly its District 10 office in Stockton. The two agencies have signed an MOU pertaining to transportation planning activities. Additional MOUs have been developed to define clearinghouse responsibilities, and most recently, project delivery activities consistent with StanCOG’s and Caltrans’ responsibilities under SB 45. Caltrans is represented at the Management and Finance Committee, the Technical Advisory Committee, and the Policy Board. StanCOG also keeps state agencies updated and informed on the local planning activities. StanCOG’s major documents, such as the OWP, RTP, and TIP, are submitted to state agencies in addition to Caltrans, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the State Clearinghouse. 4. Federal Agencies StanCOG meets with FHWA and FTA in an “Annual Meeting” to review the Overall Work Program and discuss upcoming transportation planning issues. With recent federal legislative, policy and technical requirements, there is a need for closer interaction directly with federal staff. In addition, there are also interregional forums for coordinated discussions through the Interagency Consultation (IAC) process, the Caltrans Federal Programming Group (CFPG), and the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPA) forum that deals with air quality, programming, and planning issues. FHWA staff also participates in the San Joaquin Valley’s Executive Directors meetings and the various sub-committees, such as: The San Joaquin Valley Model Coordinating Committee, consisting of representatives of all eight San Joaquin Valley transportation planning agencies, Caltrans, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, the California Air Resources Board, EPA, FTA and the FHWA, teleconference monthly to discuss air quality/transportation related issues. The Model Coordinating Committee reports to the San Joaquin Valley COG Directors and advises them on significant issues. The San Joaquin Valley Interagency Consultation (IAC) Group, consisting of representatives of all eight San Joaquin Valley transportation planning agencies, Caltrans, the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, the California Air Resources Board, EPA, FTA and the FHWA, teleconference monthly to discuss transportation programming issues. The Programming Working Group reports to the San Joaquin Valley COG Directors and advises them on significant issues.

H. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/EQUAL RIGHTS Title VI – Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in the conduct of its business, including its Title VI responsibilities, and to the delivery of equitable and accessible transportation services. Employment – StanCOG is an equal opportunity employer. Contracts – StanCOG has adopted a Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) program for contracts involving federal funds. The StanCOG Policy Board adopted the DBE Plan. DBE-qualified firms are identified from the Caltrans DBE listing and specifically included in our mailing for contract opportunities. Caltrans’ current DBE goal is 17.6% (4.2% race-neutral and 13.4% race-conscious). StanCOG will make efforts to reach a DBE goal that complements Caltrans. Core Planning Functions The Overall Work Programs (OWP) must identify the Core Planning Functions and what work will be done during the program year to advance those functions. The Core Functions typically include:

• Overall Work Program • Public Participation and Education • Regional Transportation Plan • Federal Transportation Improvement Program • Congestion Management Process (required for TMAs) • Annual Listing of Projects

Transportation legislation provided metropolitan transportation planning program funding for the integration of transportation planning processes in the MPA (i.e. rail, airports, seaports, intermodal facilities, public highways and transit, bicycle and pedestrian, etc.) into a unified metropolitan transportation planning process, culminating in the preparation of a multimodal transportation plan for the MPA. Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) review the Overall Work Plan (OWP) development process to ensure all activities and products mandated by the metropolitan transportation planning regulations are a priority. The FHWA and FTA provide combined planning grant funding opportunities to the region. The MPO OWP work elements and work tasks are developed to clearly explain the purpose and results of the work to be accomplished.

Performance Management Since MAP-21 was passed in 2012, Caltrans and California’s MPOs have developed performance measures that inform their Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) and Federal Transportation Improvement Programs (FTIPs). The FAST Act continues MAP-21’s overall performance management approach, within which States and MPOs invest resources in projects that collectively will make progress toward the achievement of the national goals. The DOT, in consultation with States, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and other stakeholders, are required to establish performance measures in the areas listed below:

• Safety - To achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. • Infrastructure Condition - To maintain the highway infrastructure asset system in a state of good

repair • Congestion Reduction - To achieve a significant reduction in congestion on the National Highway

System


12

• System Reliability - To improve the efficiency of the surface transportation system • Freight Movement and Economic Vitality - To improve the national freight network, strengthen

the ability of rural communities to access national and international trade markets, and support regional economic development.

• Environmental Sustainability - To enhance the performance of the transportation system while protecting and enhancing the natural environment.

• Reduced Project Delivery Delays - To reduce project costs, promote jobs and the economy, and expedite the movement of people and goods by accelerating project completion through eliminating delays in the project development and delivery process, including reducing regulatory burdens and improving agencies' work practices

Performance measures are used as the foundation to assess the operational condition of the regional roadway system and assist in determining the value of the project in improving the operational condition. This relationship assists in the overall prioritization of projects in the RTP which is also reflected in the CMP and the FTIP. State of Good Repair MPO’s are required to evaluate their transportation system to assess the capital investment needed to maintain a State of Good Repair for the region’s transportation facilities and equipment. MPO’s shall coordinate with the transit providers in their region to incorporate the Transit Asset Management Plans (TAM’s) prepared by the transit providers into the Region Transportation Plan (RTP). Analysis of State of Good Repair needs and investments shall be part of any RTP update and must be included in the Overall Work Program task for developing the Regional Transportation Plan. MPO’s are expected to regularly coordinate with transit operators to evaluate current information on the state of transit assets; understand the transit operators transit asset management plans; and ensure that the transit operators are continually providing transit asset information to support the MPO planning process. Federal Planning Factors The Metropolitan Planning program under MAP-21 provided funding for the integration of transportation planning processes in the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) into a unified metropolitan transportation planning process, culminating in the preparation of a multimodal transportation plan for the MPO. Title 23 of the United States Code, section 134(f) describes Federal Planning Factors issued by Congress to emphasize planning factors from a national perspective. Under the FAST Act ten planning factors (for both metro and statewide planning) are identified as follows:

1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency.

2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users. 3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users. 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and for freight. 5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and

promote consistency between transportation improvements and State and local planned growth and economic development patterns.

6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, people, and freight.


13

7. Promote efficient system management and operation. 8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system. 9. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater

impacts of surface transportation. 10. Enhance travel and tourism coordination.

Each of these planning areas and factors are addressed in the OWP, many by multiple work elements. Please see Appendix VII for the FAST Act Planning Factors Matrix

(012) PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PURPOSE StanCOG strives to include the public through outreach and education and by providing an avenue for involvement in the planning process. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG actively encourages citizen participation in the planning process and has adopted formal Public Participation Plan procedures that were last updated in June 2018. The Public Participation Plan sets forth the public involvement process for StanCOG. It outlines the many opportunities for the public (including traditionally underrepresented and underserved populations) to become involved in the transportation planning process. This includes transit users, transportation providers, community organizations, agencies, and minority (i.e. Black, Hispanic, Asian American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander), elderly, disabled, and low to moderate-income groups, and any private citizen or agency representative. StanCOG’s goal is to provide citizens with complete information, timely notification, and full public access to key decisions. Public Notices are published in area newspapers in English and in Spanish. Notices of public advisory committee and Policy Board meetings are posted on the StanCOG website as well as outside the StanCOG offices in both English and in Spanish. Information about public meetings is also provided to the media, including newspapers that serve the non-English speaking public. Policy Board Agenda packets are sent to the thirteen public libraries in the region for availability to the public. Additional public education and involvement activities are provided through the StanCOG website (www.stancog.org) and via StanCOG social media sites such as Facebook. StanCOG has standing committees that are comprised of public citizens from each of the local jurisdictions in Stanislaus County who provide their input from the public’s perspective to the Policy Board. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) provides input on agenda items related to transportation that are presented to the Policy Board each month, the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) addresses the needs of the non-motorized transportation community, and the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) is focused on transit-related issues in the region. Public Outreach meetings, events, and/or workshops have been utilized to address specific concerns of the community. The StanCOG Rideshare Program, Dibs, is a sponsor along with the Cities of Hughson, Modesto, Turlock, Newman, Oakdale and Patterson in highly-attended public events focusing on Bike to Work Week in May and Rideshare Week in October. To increase awareness in the community of what StanCOG is and what it does, StanCOG participates in community organization meetings such as El Concilio, and other service organizations as well as meetings of the local Chambers of Commerce. In FY 2018/19, StanCOG increased its outreach for the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) to include more public workshops, presentations to community organizations, and to each of the City Councils in the Stanislaus region. A dedicated website, linked to the www.stancog.org website, was also developed for the RTP/SCS effort entitled, ‘Valley Vision Stanislaus,’ where all information regarding this project was housed. Key items included on this site were presentations that were provided at public workshops held and surveys that allowed for the public to express their views on the future of the region which were utilized in the development of the plan. Additionally, an email list of nearly 30,000 high-propensity voters was developed to reach out to the public in the RTP/SCS process.

(023) METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO) COORDINATION PURPOSE To enhance coordination of regional planning activities among the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), the Bay Area and Sacramento, as well as the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, Caltrans, and other governmental agencies. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG coordinates with the SJV MPOs in the update of the RTP, on a Valley-wide template to maintain consistency in planning activities and related air quality efforts. DESCRIPTION OF WORK In 1992, the MPOs/RTPAs in the San Joaquin Valley began the process of coordinating transportation planning efforts. The MPOs/RTPAs represent Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare counties. Later that year, the Boards of Directors of the MPOs/RTPAs approved and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that committed each agency to coordinate efforts during the execution and preparation of Regional Transportation Plans, Transportation Improvement Programs, Congestion Management Programs, and other transportation systems studies required to address interregional issues. In addition, the MOU called for cooperation when working with the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District and Caltrans. The MOU also provided for coordination during the development of consistent transportation and traffic data base information for transportation modeling and related emissions modeling. The MOU has been revised on occasion, most recently to create the San Joaquin Valley Regional Transportation Planning Agencies Policy Council (Policy Council). The Policy Council is composed of two Policy Board members from each of the eight San Joaquin Valley planning agencies governing boards and one representative from the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD). To implement the MOUs between the MPOs/RTPAs, Air District, and Caltrans, an eight county Cooperative Work Program was developed and is updated as needed. The 2010 Census identified two Urbanized Areas in Stanislaus County, Modesto and Turlock. The Modesto Urbanized Area consists of the cities of Modesto, Ceres, Hughson, Riverbank, and Oakdale, and further includes the unincorporated communities of Salida, Keyes, and Del Rio. The Turlock Urbanized Area includes the community of Delhi, and City of Livingston, which are both located in Merced County. For those transportation funds granted to the Turlock Urbanized Areas, StanCOG works with the Merced County Association of Governments as needed. State Highways and other significant County routes extend across the Stanislaus County boundary into adjacent counties. Where improvements are proposed on those routes, StanCOG coordinates with all appropriate agencies. WORK ACTIVITIES 023.1 Eight County Cooperative Work Program

(026) INTERREGIONAL BICYCLE TOURISM PLAN (IBTP) PURPOSE Support the development of the Interregional Bicycle Tourism Plan (IBTP). BACKGROUND StanCOG, in conjunction with the Tuolumne County Transportation Council (TCTC), the Calaveras Council of Governments (CCOG), the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), the Alpine County Local Transportation Commission (Alpine LTC), and the California Bicycle Coalition, has partnered with Caltrans to develop an interregional active transportation plan to advance bicycle tourism and promote safe multimodal travel in the five-county region. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG has provided matching funds to support project development. StanCOG staff has reviewed and commented on TCTC’s proposed scope of work, outreach plan, and Request for Proposal (RFP) for consultant services. StanCOG staff reviewed and scored each consultant response to the RFP and highlighted key bicycle tourism routes in Stanislaus County to be analyzed in the final document. StanCOG staff also participated at each of the project’s steering committee meetings to date, including the Steering Committee kickoff meeting held June 28, 2019, and coordinated to set future meetings. DESCRIPTION OF WORK The five-county IBTP project team will continue to work together to identify and analyze priority routes for enhancing bicycle tourism, with a focus on improving travel conditions for all modes, and the travel needs of both residents and visitors. An annotated map and list of recommendations for priority improvements will be developed based on expert analysis and extensive community outreach to area residents, including business and property owners, travel bureaus, local policy makers, bike shops and bicycle clubs, and other stakeholders. Strategies will be developed to promote the region’s bicycle tourism opportunities and cultivate a regional bicycle tourism economy. All findings will be compiled into a final report. This project includes the counties of Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Calaveras, San Joaquin, and Alpine, with TCTC serving as the administrative lead. The California Bicycle Coalition is the project lead and manager, with StanCOG, TCTC, CCOG, SJCOG, and Alpine LTC overseeing plan development in their respective jurisdictions.

(113) TRANSPORTATION MODELING, ANALYSIS, FORECASTING & GIS PURPOSE Current federal planning requirements call for Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to consider land use and economic development impacts in their transportation planning processes. StanCOG’s Transportation Modeling program supports key planning activities in the region, including the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategies development and Air Quality Conformity Analyses. StanCOG’s Transportation Modeling program also supports regional transportation planning studies, environmental justice analysis, and traffic impact studies. Additionally, the modeling program also supports the general plans and land use studies of the local jurisdictions. Transportation, land use, and air quality are intrinsically linked through the Regional Transportation Planning process. The purpose of StanCOG’s model program is to maintain state of the art tools to measure such relationships addressed by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or "FAST Act,” California Clean Air Act, and the Federal Clean Air Amendments. StanCOG coordinates its technical program with federal, state and local partners, the Central Valley COGs, and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. Travel forecasts generated by StanCOG’s travel demand model provide guidance and communication tools for decision makers to consider the potential impact of their decisions regarding transportation, air quality, and land use. A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. GIS is employed to analyze and communicate transportation, land use and other data/information to the public. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG maintains a regional travel demand model that contains a detailed road and highway network for Stanislaus County, its cities and its communities. StanCOG has maintained a regional model for the benefit of its partners since 1985 through regular updates of the land use database, travel assumptions, and validation processes. In 1993 and 2000, StanCOG staff rebuilt the major components of the model. Through the San Joaquin Valley Model Improvement Program (VMIP), StanCOG, in conjunction with San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) and Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG), created a three-county transportation model to address requirements of SB 375 and the Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS), and to continue to improve forecasting for the Regional Transportation Plan. The StanCOG model has provided critical information to general plan and specific plan updates; it has been used frequently in corridor and traffic studies. It has provided essential information to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and to previous Congestion Management Process (CMP) updates and the Environmental Justice Report. The model program also provides key information for the accompanying RTP Environmental impact report (EIR) and Air Quality Conformity Analyses (Work Element 410 of this Overall Work Program). With the Environmental Justice Report, the model has been used to associate 2010 Census information with Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ). The San Joaquin Valley Model Improvement Plan (VMIP) began in 2010 and made substantial enhancements to the modeling capabilities of the Valley MPOs. Due to the timing of the development of the VMIP, many data sources necessary to understand and model travel behavior were not available. As such, older data sources were


25

(113) Transportation Modeling, Analysis, Forecasting & GIS – Page 2 employed to supplement data for the base year, making calibration and validation difficult due to the economic downturn relative to the 2001/2003 California Household Travel Survey (CHTS) and 2000 Census, which were collected before the calibration efforts began. In the technical evaluations of the Valley’s SCS documents, areas of improvement were identified, including updates to the travel demand model. The Valley has responded to this feedback through a model update involving the development of a San Joaquin Valley Model Improvement Plan, Phase 2 (VMIP2). VMIP2 utilizes the most recent 2010 Census, American Community Survey, California Household Travel Survey data, and the model structure enhancements developed as part of the VMIP. In addition to the updated data, VMIP2 implements changes to the model structure based on the Air Resources Board (ARB) feedback. Key enhancements to model sensitivity and usability include:

• Land Use: simplified residential and employment categories • Socio-economic: the employee salary and household income relationship for home-work trips • Interregional Travel: updated based on the newly released California Statewide Transportation Demand

Model, and based on place and purpose, rather than having internal and interregional travel combined and distributed based on time/cost of travel

• Modified Assumptions: adjustments to employment density, intersection density, and access to jobs and housing

The Valley Model Improvement Program is continuously refined with state of the art enhancements to better support the eight San Joaquin Valley MPOs in complying with the requirements of SB 375. The enhancements are made with the aim of improved coordination of land use and transportation planning to support the achievement of mandated greenhouse gas emission reductions. In preparation of the next update to the RTP/SCS, the model will be enhanced to include codes for ACE extension and possible bus service enhancements, new land use input, new codes to account for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and scripts that allow for the model to account for autonomous vehicles on the network. WORK ACTIVITIES 113.1 Continued Travel Demand Model development activities, include model maintenance, update of model

networks and demographic data using street and centerline files and detailed traffic analysis zones

113.2 Create a census clearinghouse section on the StanCOG website to serve as a repository of census data

(203) HUMAN SERVICES COORDINATION PLAN PURPOSE Caltrans’ Sustainable Transportation Planning (STP)Grant Program was created to support the State’s mission to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated, and efficient transportation system that enhances the state’s economy and livability. This grant program may be utilized to update and enhance transportation planning documents such as The Public Transit-Human Services Coordination Plan (Coordinated Plan). The process of updating the Coordinated Plan provides an opportunity for a diverse range of stakeholders, with a common interest in human service transportation, to convene and collaborate on how best to provide transportation services for the targeted populations of older adults, persons with disabilities, persons of low income, and veterans. PREVIOUS WORK Initiated by the passage of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, Public Law 109-059, and continued with the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, each region must locally adopt a Coordinated Plan in order to leverage and extend scarce transportation resources. StanCOG last adopted a Coordinated Plan in 2015. Since 2015, several changes have occurred that significantly impact the accessibility and availability of transportation in the Stanislaus region. In 2019 StanCOG staff prepared an STP grant application to support development of a plan update. DESCRIPTION OF WORK Through a competitive bidding process, StanCOG acquire the services of professional consultant to support the development of a Public Transit-Human Services Coordination Plan. StanCOG, with consultant support, will conduct extensive stakeholder outreach to bring together human service organizations and public transit agencies. StanCOG will oversee the work and will participate in Project Management meetings and project activities to ensure the project is conducted in accordance with the contract scope of work and is completed within budget and on schedule with a successful outcome. Staff will provide quarterly updates to the StanCOG committees and Policy Board as needed to promote communication and collaboration from the stakeholders in the region.

(300) REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN (RTP) PURPOSE StanCOG is federally mandated, per Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C) Section 134 and Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 450.300, to prepare a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that is consistent with federal transportation planning requirements. StanCOG is required to prepare and periodically update the RTP, which defines the policies, plans and programs for the coordination and programming of transportation improvements throughout Stanislaus County. StanCOG has developed an RTP according to the provisions of MAP-21/FAST Act, as specified in the Planning Final Rule and which conforms to the 2017 Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines for Metropolitan Planning Organizations developed by the California Transportation Commission. BACKGROUND The RTP is the agency’s comprehensive transportation planning document that outlines an approximate twenty-five-year investment strategy and policy guidance for the Stanislaus County region. The RTP is intended to serve as the blueprint for future transportation improvements and investments based on specific transportation goals, objectives and actions defined by the community and its elected officials. The RTP is to be developed through a performance-driven, outcome-based approach to planning. PREVIOUS WORK In August 2018, the Policy Board adopted the 2018 RTP. During planning effort, StanCOG Staff coordinated closely with our member agencies on land use, development and other plan elements such as demographic forecasts, revenue projections, project lists and goals and objectives. StanCOG continually sought input from the public to establish a vision for the region and develop and identify a preferred land use/transportation scenario. Based on the analysis and public input, the StanCOG Policy Board identified the preferred land use and transportation scenario, referred to as Scenario 2 (Preferred Scenario/Infill Redevelopment). In December 2018, the FHWA and FTA provided their joint air quality conformity determination for the 2018 RTP. Extensive community outreach presentations were conducted to showcase the 2018 RTP scenarios during the months of October 2017 and November 2017. Four major public workshops were held in the cities of Modesto, Newman, Ceres, and Riverbank. In addition to the above public workshops, extensive outreach efforts were conducted at stakeholder and community group meetings in the region. Additional presentations were also provided at City Council meetings held by the City of Ceres, Patterson, Hughson, Riverbank, Modesto, Waterford, Oakdale, and Turlock. The associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the RTP was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Final 2018 RTP EIR identifies strategies to avoid or mitigate those environmental impacts where warranted. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) promote the use of an objectives-driven, performance-based approach to planning for operations as an effective way to integrate operations into planning and programming. This approach focuses on short- and long-term system performance rather than simply focusing on implementation of projects as a measure of success. MPOs are required to establish targets for safety (PM1), bridge and pavement condition (PM2), air quality, freight movement, and for performance of the National Highway System (PM3) and to use the performance measures to track their progress toward meeting those targets.


30

(300) Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) - Page 2 The performance based planning activities require regular coordination with federal, state, and local agency officials, outreach to local stakeholders, and integration of the performance based approach into planning and programming processes, including the RTP and Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). To help meet the targets set for PM1, PM2 and PM3, StanCOG has recently launched a Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign and is updating its Non-Motorized Transportation Plan; will soon begin work on a regional Pavement Management Program to inform pavement improvement decisions; and updated its CMP to report on the PM3 reliability measures. DESCRIPTION OF WORK StanCOG continues to expand the scope of this work element to include significant staff work necessary to implement the RTP. StanCOG will continue to work to identify and secure available funding to support the implementation of the 2018 RTP. StanCOG will continue to advance multimodal plans to ensure effective implementation of strategies identified that support the goals and objectives of the RTP that not only considers various modes (walking, cycling, automobile, public transit, etc.) but the connections among modes. Additionally, StanCOG will continue updating plans/projects, such as the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan and the regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign and anticipates completing the Congestion Management Process Update by February 2020. These plans/projects will provide valuable information to support the development of the 2022 RTP update, as the outcomes of these planning efforts will guide StanCOG and its member agencies in considering strategies to address safety, pavement and bridge condition and air quality/congestion related needs. Additionally, the findings of these planning efforts will be considered in the development a project prioritization methodology for the RTP. As part of RTP implementation, there are continuous monitoring of planning activities consistent with advancing RTP goals, objectives, and performance. Other activities will include monitoring and updating project cost estimates and project schedules to ensure compliance with RTP financial planning and air quality conformity and to support RTP implementation. Beginning in FY 20/21, StanCOG will commence with activities for development of the 2022 RTP Update and associated EIR. StanCOG will initiate stakeholder outreach working in close coordination with our local member agencies and other stakeholders to identify goals and objectives of the plan, develop potential project lists, calculate project costs, develop a funding estimate, generate and review demographic forecasts, develop and review deliverables and conduct other activities associated with plan development.

(302) ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (EJ)/TITLE VI PURPOSE The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have maintained an emphasis on Civil Rights, in particular, Environmental Justice (EJ) and Title VI Nondiscrimination, concepts born from the 1964 Civil Rights Act. EJ principles require that no single population consistently bears the burden or benefit of government activity while Title VI requires that, "No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” To support these nondiscrimination principles, agencies receiving federal transportation funding must work to ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities, especially minority and low-income populations in the transportation decision-making process. Recognizing that no two regions are identical, FHWA and FTA have granted latitude to metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), such as StanCOG, regarding their approach to EJ/Title VI within the planning process. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG continues to strive to fully incorporate these fairness and nondiscrimination principles in all areas of federally funded activities. In 2018, StanCOG updated both the Public Participation Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan incorporating further application of EJ and Title VI principles in their development and approval. These reports provide a substantive review of the extent to which transportation planning activities burden or benefit identified EJ/Title VI communities. StanCOG will continue to use, and improve upon, the Transportation Model Program, which uses demographic data to estimate travel patterns and other information to non-objectively weigh equity in the forecasting process. In addition, StanCOG’s outreach efforts have been increased and focused towards those populations that are typically underrepresented during all planning processes as detailed in the Public Participation Plan adopted March 18, 2018. Since the adoption of the 2018 StanCOG RTP/Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), and associated Environmental Justice Analysis, StanCOG, as identified in Work Element 300, has monitored the performance of the Plan, in particular for EJ emphasis. Staff utilizes the collected information to ensure that StanCOG makes achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations as the result of the planning or implementation of projects. In 2017-2018, StanCOG updated the Title VI Compliance Report and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan to meet changes in the regulatory requirements. As these program changes were significant, StanCOG received approval of the updated program in FY 2018-2019. DESCRIPTION OF WORK The intent of this Work Element is to reaffirm an Environmental Justice process within StanCOG’s established Overall Work Program and all of its planning efforts. The Executive Order on EJ covers people who are low-income and minorities. Civil Rights Title VI covers all people based on race, color, and national origin. StanCOG is committed to continual outreach to the public and our local agencies to better inform and prepare them for the next planning activities. Translating required new critical into Spanish, translating other documents

(321) TRANSIT (MASS TRANSPORTATION) PURPOSE The availability of mass transportation is a crucial part of the solution to the Stanislaus region’s socioeconomic, energy, and environmental challenges and helps to nurture a better quality of life. For this reason, StanCOG provides technical assistance to transit operators and administrator agencies to increase the usability, efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and security of transit and paratransit services in the Stanislaus region in keeping with guidance provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the goals and objectives of the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). PREVIOUS WORK The most crucial project accomplished in 2018 year was the passage of California Senate Bill 903 (Canella) (SB 903) which authorized the StanCOG Policy Board the opportunity to provide relief of fare recovery penalties to transit operators during the next two fiscal years. Also associated with SB 903 is the Transit Efficiency Study which was developed in 2018 and completed in Fall 2019. The FTA required transit operators to develop a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan by 1, 2018 for maintaining a state of good repair of their vehicles, facilities, and other capital assets. Transit operators were also required to set performance targets and report information related to the condition of their assets to the National Transit Database. Consistent with FTA guidance, staff: coordinated with the transit providers to ensure TAM Plans were prepared and performance targets were set; regularly coordinated with transit operators to evaluate current information on the state of transit assets; to understand the transit operators transit asset management plans; and to ensure that the transit operators continually provide transit asset information to support the MPO planning process. On July 19, 2018, FTA published the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) Final Rule, which requires each Stanislaus County transit operator to develop a safety plan. The plan must include the processes and procedures to implement Safety Management Systems (SMS), include safety performance targets, certify they have a safety plan in place meeting the requirements of the rule by July 20, 2020, and be updated on a yearly basis. In preparation for the July 2020 deadline, StanCOG staff has worked closely with the operators to facilitate the process and develop these plans. As StanCOG prepares for the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) extension to the City of Ceres, StanCOG continues to sit as an Ex-Officio on the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) Board. StanCOG staff regularly participates in the SJRRC Board Meetings. In addition, Amtrak services governed by San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) are being evaluated for expansion and possible required coordination with the ACE expansion. As such, StanCOG staff will continue to participate in SJJPA regional meetings and will participate in other public outreach opportunities as available. DESCRIPTION OF WORK StanCOG staff provides ongoing planning and technical assistance to transit agencies and human service organization administrators to increase the usability, efficiency, effectiveness, safety and security of transit and paratransit operations, including resolving ADA-related issues. Activities include conducting monthly transit manager meetings to support coordination activities and improve interagency communication, with the assistance of the region’s Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) called MOVE. Furthermore, staff provides technical assistance and planning support for the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC). Staff also attends and/or co-hosts grant program workshops

(338) PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING PURPOSE Establish a performance based planning approach for activities, associated with the Regional Transportation Plan, Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and Congestion Management Process (CMP), through a performance-driven, outcome-based approach to planning for measuring the progress supported by investment decisions. BACKGROUND The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act and Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act have transformed the Federal Aid Highway Program by establishing new performance management requirements to ensure that Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) improve project decision-making through performance-based planning and programming to choose the most efficient investments for Federal transportation funds. The national performance goals for the federal highway programs are as follows:

• Safety • Infrastructure Condition • Congestion Reduction • System Reliability • Freight Movement and Economic Vitality • Environmental Sustainability • Reduced Project Delivery Delays

PREVIOUS WORK Previous work has included integrating performance goals and standards into StanCOG’s continuous, comprehensive and cooperative planning process. For example, StanCOG identified goals, objectives and performance measures for evaluating its 2018 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which played a critical role in driving a performance-based approach to decision-making in the development of the Plan. As part of Plan development, a variety of investment scenarios were developed and the relationship between each investment scenario and future expected performance was analyzed. Performance of scenarios were then compared and presented to the RTP Steering Committee and Policy Board to identify a preferred alternative. The approach provided information to StanCOG and its decision makers to help them better understand the consequences of different levels of investment, including trade-offs. StanCOG staff has been involved in the target setting processes for Safety, Pavement and Bridge and System Performance, Freight, and CMAQ Performance Measures by attending and participating in workshops in various locations including Caltrans Headquarter offices. Information from these meetings has helped StanCOG coordinate with the State and local agencies on the target setting process. The State of California set its Safety Performance Management targets on August 31, 2017 (to establish 2018 targets), 2018 (to establish 2019 targets), and 2019 (to establish 2020 targets). The StanCOG Policy Board has supported the State’s 2018 and 2019 Safety Performance targets and decided on target setting for the 2020 Performance targets in February 2020. The State has also set its first round of Bridge and Pavement and System Performance, Freight, CMAQ performance measures on May 20, 2018. The StanCOG Policy Board moved to support both Bridge and Pavement and System Performance, Freight, CMAQ performance measures on November 14, 2018.


44

(338) Performance Based Planning – Page 2 StanCOG will continue to provide updates and set targets annually for all Performance Management Targets. StanCOG along with other MPOs and the State have coordinated to develop a reporting process between the State and MPOs. StanCOG will work to integrate the performance based approach into planning and programming processes and plans. Additionally, the FTA requires transit operators to develop a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan for maintaining a state of good repair of their vehicles, facilities, and other capital assets. Transit operators are also required to set performance targets and report information related to the condition of their assets to the National Transit Database. Consistent with FTA guidance, staff will coordinate with the transit providers to ensure TAM Plans are prepared and performance targets are set. StanCOG will also regularly coordinate with transit operators to evaluate current information on the state of transit assets; to understand the transit operators transit asset management plans; and to ensure that the transit operators are continually providing transit asset information to support the MPO planning process. DESCRIPTION OF WORK The USDOT encourages state DOTs and MPOs to further develop and implement a performance management approach to transportation planning and programming that supports the achievement of transportation system performance outcomes. This use of transportation performance measures, establishing targets, the monitoring of and reporting on performance, and identification of targeting investments that achieve desired performance outcomes. The performance based planning activities require regular coordination with federal, state, and local agency officials; outreach to local stakeholders; identification of nationally-available or other (e.g. state) data sources, data collection; analysis, identification of reasonable and achievable targets, development of a monitoring plan and reporting process; and integration of the performance based approach into planning and programming processes, including the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). StanCOG will be taking the next step as described in work element 300 to integrate the TPM into the RTP/FTIP. As part of work element 338, StanCOG will coordinate closely with its Federal, State, and local agency planning partners to gather and compile the necessary baseline data to generate maps, tables and other illustrations to assist StanCOG in measuring progress toward supporting the state PM targets. WORK ACTIVITIES 338.1 Coordinate with the FHWA regarding federal requirements, readily available data, and guidance

338.2 Coordinate with the State DOT regarding state requirements, readily available data, and target establishment

338.3 Collaborate with local agency representatives and other stakeholders regarding goals, objectives, measures and targets

338.4 Gather, compile and analyze data for evaluating targets and monitoring performance

338.5 Work in coordination with local agencies in the development of planning documents related to developing targets and reporting progress on meeting targets, and all other reporting requirements of FHWA Rules as they relate to Pavement Condition, Bridge Condition, the National Highway System, Freight Movement, CMAQ, and Safety

338.6 Establish performance targets and report process for the RTP and FTIP

(410) AIR QUALITY PLANNING PURPOSE Coordinate with the other San Joaquin Valley MPOs, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), the California Air Resources Board (ARB), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to resolve air quality issues to meet State and Federal regulations. Analyze air quality impacts from mobile source (i.e. cars and trucks) emissions and inform member agencies about air quality programs and Federal air quality regulations. BACKGROUND In 1982, the Stanislaus Air Quality Plan was adopted by the StanCOG Policy Board. At that time local governments implemented travel reduction measures to improve air quality. StanCOG monitored the efforts. In 1990, at the request of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, the County Board of Supervisors voted to implement a vehicle inspection and maintenance program. Since 1990, with the passage of the California Clean Air Act and the Federal Clean Air Act, StanCOG has monitored and responded to the air quality conformity regulations for the region. In 1991, when the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (hereinafter referred to as the “Air District”) was formed, the San Joaquin Valley was designated as an eight-county air basin. Currently, the San Joaquin Valley (or portions thereof) is designated as extreme nonattainment with respect to Federal air quality standards for ozone, and nonattainment for particulate matter under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5); and has a maintenance plan for particulate matter under 10 microns in diameter (PM-10). Therefore, transportation plans and programs for the nonattainment areas for Stanislaus County area must satisfy the requirements of the Federal transportation conformity regulation. The federal transportation conformity regulations (40 CFR Parts 51 and 93) specify criteria and procedures for conformity determinations for transportation plans, programs, and projects and their respective amendments. The Federal transportation conformity regulation has been revised several times since its initial release to reflect both EPA rule changes and court opinions. The conformity regulation applies nationwide to “all nonattainment and maintenance areas for transportation-related criteria pollutants for which the area is designated nonattainment or has a maintenance plan” (40 CFR 93.102). The eight county MPOs adopted a Memorandum of Understanding to establish coordination of plans for traffic and transportation, emissions modeling, and transportation planning to meet clean air requirements. Today, the eight Valley MPOs and the Air District continue to work together to meet State and Federal clean air mandates and maintain consistency between key planning documents, such as the Regional Transportation Plan, the Federal Transportation Improvement Plan, the Air Quality Conformity Analysis and the State Implementation Plan. The Valley MPOs are working together with the Air District to address greenhouse gas emissions and elements of Senate Bill (SB) 375 and Assembly Bill (AB) 32. Due to the multi-jurisdictional and non-attainment designations of the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, the Valley’s MPOs work closely to coordinate Valley-wide compliance with the requirements of both the Federal and State Clean Air Acts. Due to the unique requirements pertaining to multi-jurisdictional/multi-pollutant and non-attainment status of the San Joaquin Valley MPOs, the individual action of one MPO may affect the compliance status of all other MPOs in the Valley. The San Joaquin Valley Interagency Consultation (IAC) Group plays an essential role in facilitating communication between Valley MPOs and their planning partners (including FHWA, FTA, Caltrans and EPA). StanCOG regularly participates on IAC calls held with Valley MPOs and the regional air quality liaison consults with these participants on project and regional conformity issues and follows the formal transportation conformity interagency consultation process.


47

(410) Air Quality Planning – Page 2 PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG participates in frequent interagency meetings as part of a Valley wide Modeling and Air Quality Coordination Committee to address specific air quality issues affecting transportation and funding. The meetings address attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards, transportation conformity budgets and changing rules and plans relative to SIP development, interagency consultation on PM2.5 and PM10 Hotspot Analyses and other topics related to air quality conformity. In 2019 StanCOG performed an Air Quality Conformity determination using Emission Factors (EMFAC) 2014 for the StanCOG 2018 RTP Amendment No.1 and the 2019 FTIP Amendment No. 9. The 2019 FTIP and 2018 RTP, as amended were found to be in conformity and therefore support requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments and applicable State Implementation Plans for air quality. StanCOG also performed an additional Air Quality Conformity determination specifically for the 2015 ozone standard. The results of the 2015 ozone standard analysis demonstrated a finding of conformity for 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone for total regional on-road vehicle-related emissions associated with the implementation of the 2019 FTIP, and the 2018 RTP and it was adopted by the Policy Board in March of 2019. StanCOG was involved throughout the latest round of target setting undertaken by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) for meeting the requirements established as a result of Senate Bill (SB) 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008. StanCOG, in close coordination with the other Valley MPOs, use current data and assumptions on demographics and travel behavior in order to forecast regional per capita greenhouse gas emissions reductions in future years such as 2020 and 2035. The ARB solicited input from all the MPOs within the state on target recommendations with the intent of adopting new targets that would be effective starting on October 12018. StanCOG coordinated closely with the Valley MPOs to develop StanCOG’s GHG target recommendations. The California Air Resources Board, through Resolution 18-12, updated the regional greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2020 and 2035 applicable to the next update of StanCOG’s future Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The greenhouse gas reduction targets for StanCOG’s next RTP/SCS update are 12 and 16 percent for the years 2020 and 2035, respectively. StanCOG will continue to coordinate with other San Joaquin Valley MPOs and ARB, as ARB plans to work closely with the MPOs to identify supportive strategies and metrics with a focus on implementation. StanCOG continues to coordinate through the valley wide air quality consultant through a contract administered by the San Joaquin Council of Governments. This support assists the San Joaquin Valley COGs in meeting Clean Air Act requirements and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). StanCOG is also receiving support from this consultant, separately through a purchase order/contract to obtain supplemental support for addressing SB 375.

(411) CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROCESS (CMP) PURPOSE The Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a systematic and regionally accepted approach for managing congestion that provides accurate up-to-date information on transportation system performance and assesses alternative strategies for addressing traffic congestion that meets state and federal requirements. The CMP is an iterative process generally defined by the following steps.

1. Define and Identify Congestion 2. Identify Strategies for Addressing Congestion 3. Implement Strategies 4. Evaluate Performance

The CMP provides a framework for structured formal planning process, which includes the following activities/tasks.

1. Identifying Regional Goals/Objectives 2. Updating the Congestion Monitoring Network 3. Defining Multimodal System 4. Developing Performance Measures 5. Monitoring Performance 6. Identifying and Evaluating Strategies 7. Implementing Activities (includes identifying a schedule and potential funding sources) 8. Evaluating Effectiveness of Implemented Strategies

BACKGROUND The Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for the Users (SAFETEA-LU) stipulated the requirement for the use of the Congestion Management Process (CMP) in Transportation Management Areas (TMA). A CMP is required in metropolitan areas with population exceeding 200,000, known as Transportation Management Areas (TMAs). Federal requirements also state that in all TMAs, the CMP shall be developed and implemented as an integrated part of the metropolitan transportation planning process. In TMAs designated as nonattainment for ozone or carbon monoxide, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, Federal funds may not be programmed for any project that will result in a significant increase in the carrying capacity for Single Occupant Vehicles (SOV) (i.e., a new general purpose highway on a new location or adding general purpose lanes, with the exception of safety improvements or the elimination of bottlenecks), unless the project is addressed through a congestion management process meeting the requirements of 23 CFR 450.320. PREVIOUS WORK Since 1992, Stanislaus County and its member agencies have maintained a Congestion Management Process (CMP), through StanCOG, to meet State and Federal requirements. In 2008 and 2009, StanCOG updated its CMP, including its region-wide congestion monitoring network and its CMP performance monitoring tools. StanCOG updated the CMP in FY 2010-11 and in 2014 as part of the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).

(411) Congestion Management Process (CMP) – Page 2 In 2016, StanCOG staff established a CMP Steering Committee, comprised of representatives of the cities of Ceres, Hughson, Modesto, Newman, Patterson, Riverbank, Turlock and Waterford, Stanislaus County, FHWA, and Caltrans. The CMP Steering Committee attended an FHWA led workshop on the CMP purpose, regulatory requirements, and process. In 2018, StanCOG acquired the services of a traffic engineering firm specializing in traffic data analytics and transportation system performance monitoring for updating the CMP. StanCOG staff has coordinated with the CMP steering committee to identify performance measures, establish a data collection approach, collect traffic data, identify deficiencies on the CMP network and develop strategies to address them. The work culminated in a CMP report that documents the methodology, analyses, results, findings and conclusions in a final deliverable and was approved by the StanCOG Board on February 19, 2020. As part of the 2020 CMP update, StanCOG also developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) web map that contains the results of the analysis. This has been made available via the StanCOG website. The 2020 CMP analysis used metrics that rely on “big data” (INRIX and the National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) data) to identify causes of traffic congestion on the StanCOG monitoring network. INRIX data is based on GPS-enabled vehicles and devices that track a combination of continuous and segmented trips within a transportation corridor. NPMRDS is a monthly archive of average travel times, reported every 5 minutes when data is available, on the National Highway System. The travel times are based on vehicle probe-based data. The INRIX and NPMRDS datasets were cleaned, processed, and aggregated. Python/R (computer programming language) scripts were applied to process the data. DESCRIPTION OF WORK The transportation system performance evaluation information provided by the CMP serves as one of the inputs to the RTP process. StanCOG will integrate the CMP results and project information for development of the 2022 RTP Project List. StanCOG’s CMP Steering Committee will continue to meet quarterly, to help guide the future monitoring and data collection of the CMP, as needed.

(022) TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT (TDA) FUND ADMINISTRATION PURPOSE The California Transportation Development Act (TDA) is a funding source for the development and support of public transportation needs that exist in California. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is responsible for oversight of the TDA program on a statewide basis. StanCOG, as the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPA), is responsible for implementing the TDA—administering the distribution of funds to local TDA recipients (claimants) and monitoring the subsequent use of those funds to ensure conformity with all state and local requirements. Funds are allocated to areas of the county based on population, taxable sales, and transit performance. The TDA provides funding for use by local jurisdictions and agencies for a variety of transportation purposes with public transportation as the first priority. Other eligible purposes are regional transportation planning & programming and bicycle and pedestrian projects when certain conditions are met. The main purpose and priority of TDA, however, is to provide funding for public transportation. PREVIOUS WORK The TDA was signed into law on November 4, 1971 and became effective July 1, 1972. Several bills have amended the TDA over time including SB903. This measure was sought by StanCOG in 2018 and led the legislature to initiate a statewide task force to re-examine the TDA. In 2019, StanCOG staff served on the task force committees and sub-committees in addition to coordinating a local transit efficiency and innovations study.

(029) REGIONAL BICYCLIST AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

PURPOSE Develop and implement a creative bicyclist and pedestrian safety education and encouragement campaign, a transportation safety summit, open streets events, and a planning and implementation toolkit to promote and increase the safe use of active transportation across Stanislaus County. BACKGROUND Stanislaus County is ranked among the most dangerous communities to drive, bike, or walk. According to the Office of Traffic Safety’s most recent statistics, the county ranks third-worst in the State of California in total crashes involving a fatality or injury and worse than its peers with respect to crashes involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and underage drinking. Additionally, the San Joaquin Valley (or portions thereof) is designated as extreme nonattainment with respect to Federal air quality standards for ozone, and nonattainment for particulate matter under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5); and has a maintenance plan for particulate matter under 10 microns in diameter (PM-10)., therefore, Stanislaus County must reduce GHGs emitted from single-occupancy automobiles and promote active transportation options, including biking and walking. By increasing local knowledge and combatting misperceptions on proper traveling behavior, as well as building awareness about the many benefits of active transportation, the Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign will increase awareness, empathy, and understanding toward active transportation to improve road safety and increase walking and bicycling rates across the region.

PREVIOUS WORK In 2016 StanCOG applied for a Caltrans’ Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant to implement a county-wide Bike Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign. The project did not receive the competitive grant award but was allocated funding through the 2017 MPO Cycle 3 Component of the ATP by the StanCOG Policy Board on October 11, 2017. In FY 18/19, StanCOG staff began meeting with local member agency staff and developed a scope of work, conducted bicyclist and pedestrian counts and prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP). In FY 19/20, StanCOG was allocated the ATP funds and staff issued the RFP, convened an evaluation committee, scored and shortlist firms based on the evaluation criteria listed in the RFP, conducted interviews with shortlisted firms, and executed a contract with the highest-scoring firm. The StanCOG Bicyclist and Pedestrian Education and Encouragement Safety Campaign is being managed by StanCOG staff. StanCOG staff has also convened and regularly met with a project advisory committee to guide and support the campaign. StanCOG staff and the consultant conducted focus group interviews with both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences, distributed public surveys, developed train-the-trainer session plans, identified sites both for Open Street events and a transportation safety summit, and worked with local firms and organizations to identify additional activities for each event. StanCOG staff also worked with consultant staff to develop creative advertising collateral for the campaign.

StanCOG has also submitted regular project progress reports to Caltrans per the SB1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK StanCOG staff will continue to manage the Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign and continue its coordination and project management meetings with the consultant, Project Advisory Committee and other


58

(029) Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety Campaign – Page 2 standing committees that will provide input and guidance throughout the course of the project. Additionally, StanCOG will provide reporting and invoicing progress reports to Caltrans. StanCOG staff will review and finalize various deliverables during this period including the Open Street Event Summary Report, Active Transportation Toolkit, and the project’s Draft and Final Report. The Active Transportation Toolkit will summarize findings from the project in a case study format that will include stories of success and lessons learned throughout the process to inform future community activities. The toolkit will include maps, presentations, creative campaign examples, photographs, and fact sheets developed over the course of the project. At the conclusion of all project tasks, activities, and deliverables, a Final Report will be developed that documents the events held throughout the campaign and summarizes the stakeholders involved, the number of events held, residents who participated, and all outcomes associated with the project. In addition, the Final Report will include information that demonstrates the outcomes and impacts of the project. A separate Final Delivery Report will be developed per ATP guidelines that will include information that demonstrates the outcomes and impacts of the project. StanCOG staff will submit the Final Delivery Report to Caltrans. WORK ACTIVITIES 029.1 Project Management Meetings

(200) SB1 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROJECTS FY 18/19 PROJECT 001: NON-MOTORIZED PLAN UPDATE PURPOSE Update the StanCOG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan to guide regional efforts to improve bicycling and walking conditions and support grant opportunities for local agencies. BACKGROUND The Stanislaus region is largely rural, with agricultural lands and open space. Its communities feature lower density development and in many cases are dispersed and disconnected. Residents overwhelmingly rely on automobiles and often drive themselves, contributing to increased traffic congestion, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and safety concerns for bicyclists and pedestrians. Facilitating the development of bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure expands the community’s transportation options, helps curb GHG emissions, reduces congestions, and maintains Stanislaus’ unique community characteristics. To support compact, environmentally friendly growth patterns, the Stanislaus region requires a transportation system that provides safe and effective non-motorized transportation options. The NMTP will set goals, assess existing conditions, and identify opportunities to improve non-motorized travel options and increase access to public transportation with opportunities for public and stakeholder input throughout the process. It will identify and prioritize bicycle and pedestrian facilities that enhance regional connectivity and mitigate existing barriers such as railways, freeways, and waterways. PREVIOUS WORK In FY 2008/09, StanCOG adopted a Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP) and established the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to advise the StanCOG Policy Board on bicycle and pedestrian related issues. In FY 2012/13, the StanCOG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan was updated and adopted. In FY 18/19, StanCOG initiated an NMTP update. StanCOG staff conducted a kickoff and coordination meeting with Caltrans, issued an RFP to acquire the services of a qualified consultant, and selected a consultant to provide technical support to develop the NMTP. In FY 19/20, StanCOG staff held the NMTP project kickoff meeting with StanCOG staff, the consultant, and Caltrans. StanCOG staff coordinated and conducted bi-weekly project management meetings with the consultant. StanCOG launched a robust public outreach process by organizing pop-up booths at local events, distributing and analyzing a public-facing survey that solicited input on regional non-motorized transportation attitudes and needs, and published an interactive mapping tool on StanCOG’s website to highlight existing barriers and potential improvements to the regional non-motorized transportation network. StanCOG staff also presented draft goals and objectives and project updates to the Technical Advisory Committee, Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and Policy Board. Staff also reviewed consultant’s deliverables, including a regional and local plans and policies review, existing conditions assessment, and an analysis of the region’s non-motorized transportation gaps, barriers, and needs. Public outreach activities identified for the project include a community-wide online survey, stakeholder interviews, an online interactive web map, project promotion via a webpage and ongoing social media advertising, and 12 pop-up events. To date, StanCOG has completed 4 of the 12 pop-up events throughout the Stanislaus region, engaging more than 140 community members by leveraging attendance at existing local events and key activity centers. An online survey has been employed to ask Stanislaus residents for input on the same


61

(200) SB1 Sustainable Communities Projects FY 18/19 – Page 2 topics as the pop-up input stations and garnered 195 responses. A series of 8 stakeholder interviews engaged more than 40 stakeholders representing the public, transportation and cycling advocates, and local jurisdiction representatives. Finally, as a follow-up to the stakeholder interviews, StanCOG employed an interactive web map that allowed participating stakeholders to identify locations where they enjoy walking and biking and where they are likely to avoid using active modes of transportation throughout the Stanislaus region. That activity generated more than 100 comments regarding active transportation needs. DESCRIPTION OF WORK StanCOG will continue to manage the NMTP and coordinate with the consultant and its standing advisory committees. Using the data gathered in previous tasks, StanCOG will identify alternative transportation strategies that reduce vehicles miles traveled (VMT) and GHG emissions and improve safety and mobility. Strategies will be considered that enhance non-motorized connectivity to affordable housing, employment centers, education opportunities, commercial and retail centers, healthcare facilities, public transit, and other origins/destinations. Strategies will also be considered to fill gaps in the non-motorized transportation system. The NMTP will include a financial element containing planning-level project cost estimates, available funding sources, and implementation timeframes. StanCOG’s public outreach approach was adjusted in light of the COVID-19 pandemic to employ virtual outreach events, where necessary and with Caltrans approval, to employ an online interactive web map, project promotion via a webpage and social media advertising, and virtual public engagement events. The remaining outreach for the NMTP will be held through online virtual public engagement that will permit the project to proceed without posing a public health risk due to COVID-19 and will provide an opportunity to broaden the project’s reach and capture perspectives from the public. StanCOG will transition the remaining 8 in person pop-up events into 6 virtual “pop-in” presentations and 2 virtual community dialogues. The dialogues will be held with local stakeholders, representatives of disadvantaged communities, members of community based organizations, and others to discuss the top 25 bike and pedestrian corridors identified by the project team. All remaining events will be delivered through a virtual meeting platform. The 6“pop-in” presentations will be conducted with community based organizations during one hour long virtual outreach meetings to provide an overview of the project, share project findings to date, and describe how the community can join a more in-depth discussion at the virtual community dialogues. The two virtual community dialogues will be 2-hour online events that will delve deeper and provide opportunities to discuss the details of the proposed Countywide improvements. Additionally, an online web map will permit the meeting participants and others to vote on non-motorized transportation priorities. The map will be accessible on StanCOG’s website and via social media. The methodologies, analyses results, findings and recommendations, as well as documentation of the public outreach effort, will be presented in an internal administrative draft NMTP and a public draft final NMTP. Additionally, StanCOG will prepare quarterly reports and process invoices throughout the project.

PURPOSE Develop a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure investment study for the Stanislaus region.

Support the implementation of recommendations derived from a transit efficiency and innovations study.

Support activities associated with the StanCOG Bike and Pedestrian Education and Encouragement Safety Campaign. BACKGROUND PROJECT 002: ZEV INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT STUDY As demand for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) grows throughout California, so too does the need for infrastructure to fuel ZEVs. The Stanislaus region will be impacted by several external and internal pressures from the ZEV market. It lies between two burgeoning EV markets – the Fresno and Sacramento metropolitan areas – and contains State Route 99, through which nearly 10,000 commuters drive daily. Electrify America, a Volkswagen subsidiary, will invest up to $800 million across California to promote EVs and establish a system of EV charging networks, especially in metropolitan areas, through 2027. In 2018, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-48-18, which called for 5 million zero-emission vehicles by 2030, and the installation of 250,000 electric vehicle chargers and 200 hydrogen refueling stations by 2025. At the same time, ZEV’s are growing more popular within the County. Nearly 1,200 Stanislaus County residents have registered ZEVs with the California Air Resource Board’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project since 2010, and hundreds more are likely on the road. As consumers trend toward ZEVs, it is imperative that the region and StanCOG’s local member agencies be prepared for the unique infrastructural demands associated with widespread ZEV utilization.

PROJECT 003: TRANSIT EFFICIENCY AND INNOVATIONS STUDY IMPLEMENTATION StanCOG works closely with the four transit operators within Stanislaus County – Ceres Area Transit (CAT), Modesto Area Express (MAX), Turlock Transit, and Stanislaus Regional Transit, which serves Stanislaus County with Fixed Route, Dial-A-Ride, and Runabouts within the county. In the 2010 census, the population of Stanislaus County exceeded the 500,000-population threshold in TDA law, thus requiring transit operators serving the County to increase their farebox recovery ratios (FFR) by 10% (from 10% to 20%). As a result, despite attempts to optimize service, the transit operators in the County have struggled to meet their farebox recovery requirements, resulting in a lack of access to funding to maintain existing service.

PROJECT 004: BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN EDUCATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT SAFETY CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES Stanislaus County is ranked among the most dangerous communities to drive, bike, or walk. According to the Office of Traffic Safety’s most recent statistics, the county ranks third-worst in the State of California in total crashes involving a fatality or injury and worse than its peers with respect to crashes involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and underage drinking. Additionally, the San Joaquin Valley (or portions thereof) is designated as extreme nonattainment with respect to Federal air quality standards for ozone, and nonattainment for particulate matter under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5); and has a maintenance plan for particulate matter under 10 microns in diameter (PM-10)., therefore, Stanislaus County must reduce GHGs emitted from single-occupancy automobiles and promote


64

(201) SB1 Sustainable Communities Projects FY 19/20 – Page 2

active transportation options, including biking and walking. By increasing local knowledge and combatting misperceptions on proper traveling behavior, as well as building awareness about the many benefits of active transportation, the Regional Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign will increase awareness, empathy, and understanding toward active transportation to improve road safety and increase walking and bicycling rates across the region. PREVIOUS WORK ZEV Infrastructure Investment Study

In 2014, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the California Center for Sustainable Energy produced a report identifying optimal charging location stations within a half-mile of Highway 99 throughout the Central Valley and within significant cities, including the City of Modesto. To date, however, this project represents the most significant effort to evaluate the region’s overall EV readiness and supports the objectives of the RTP/SCS.

On July 1, 2019 The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded StanCOG FY2019/20 formula grant funds through the Sustainable Communities Program. StanCOG is using the formula funds from FY 2019/20 to develop the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Infrastructure Investment Study. StanCOG staff has conducted a kickoff meeting with Caltrans officials to review funding guidelines and invoicing practices. StanCOG staff also has developed and published a Request for Proposal for consultant services to assist with technical tasks associated with the project.

Transit Efficiency and Innovations Study Implementation

StanCOG secured a consultant through a competitive RFP process to complete a study that analyzes the transit operators throughout the county and provides solutions to maintain transit services. The study will analyze the performance and costs associated with the region’s paratransit services and fixed-route services, identify opportunities to integrate micro-transaction opportunities into the transit network, and develop recommendations to improve inter-agency efficiency and coordination and meet farebox recovery ratios. The project has been completed and the StanCOG Policy Board adopted the final plan document on October 23, 2019.

Bike and Pedestrian Education and Encouragement Safety Campaign Activities

In 2016 StanCOG applied for a Caltrans’ Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant to implement a county-wide Bike Bicyclist and Pedestrian Safety and Education Campaign. The project did not receive the competitive grant award but was allocated funding through the 2017 MPO Cycle 3 Component of the ATP by the StanCOG Policy Board on October 11, 2017. In FY 18/19, StanCOG staff began meeting with local member agency staff and developed a scope of work, conducted bicyclist and pedestrian counts and prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP). In FY 19/20, StanCOG was allocated the ATP funds and staff issued the RFP, convened an evaluation committee, scored and shortlist firms based on the evaluation criteria listed in the RFP, conducted interviews with shortlisted firms, and executed a contract with the highest-scoring firm. The StanCOG Bicyclist and Pedestrian Education and Encouragement Safety Campaign is being managed by StanCOG staff.

StanCOG staff has also convened and regularly met with a project advisory committee to guide and support the campaign. StanCOG staff and the consultant conducted focus group interviews with both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences, distributed public surveys, developed train-the-trainer session plans, identified sites both for Open Street events and a transportation safety summit, and worked with local firms and organizations to identify additional activities for each event. StanCOG staff also worked with consultant staff to develop creative advertising collateral for the campaign.

StanCOG has also submitted regular project progress reports to Caltrans per the SB1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK ZEV Infrastructure Investment Study

StanCOG will form and evaluation committee to review proposals, interview shortlisted firms, and award a contract to the highest-performing firm. StanCOG will hold a project kickoff meeting with the consultant to officially launch project activities. StanCOG will coordinate with the successful consultant through project management meetings to coordinate tasks, assign responsibilities, and ensure the timely production of all major deliverables. A ZEV infrastructure investment study will build upon the region’s earlier work with more detailed analysis to identify individual sites for proposed public infrastructure improvements, review ZEV-related policies and programs throughout the County, develop recommendations, and engage with regional stakeholders to determine the need for and locations of potential investments. The objectives of the study are to:

- Identify and evaluate current ZEV infrastructure throughout the county, including the locations of direct-current fast chargers and both Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations

- Identify and track key stakeholders through a stakeholder outreach list - Assess demand for ZEV infrastructure with available data and meaning public engagement - Connect the Stanislaus region to a growing statewide ZEV network and position it for future ZEV

investment opportunities - Identify sites for future ZEV infrastructure investment - Investigate site characteristics to determine site development needs and costs - Identify funding sources - Develop a financial plan and implementation strategy - Recommend investment strategies and sites to close network gaps, expand network access, and prepare

the region for further EV investment

StanCOG will procure a qualified consultant to complete the study through a competitive bidding process but will serve as the agency project manager and administrator. Findings and recommendations, including the public outreach results, will be presented at StanCOG committee meetings, Policy Board meetings, and in a final report document.


StanCOG staff will work to implement the recommendations identified in the final Transit Efficiencies and Innovations Study and adopted by the Policy Board. Potential recommendations include transit operator

(202) SB1 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES FY 2020/21: TRANSIT TRANSITION PLAN PURPOSE StanCOG staff is responsible for collaborating with the region’s four transit operators from its member agencies, Ceres Area Transit (CAT), Modesto Area Express (MAX), Turlock Transit, and Stanislaus Regional Transit, which serves Stanislaus County with Fixed Route, Dial-A-Ride and Runabouts within the county. This includes technical and management staff in order to ensure the implementation of regional policies and transportation funding. In this capacity, StanCOG is further responsible for coordinating with the region's funding sponsor agencies such as the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and Caltrans. Furthermore, StanCOG staff facilitates public involvement by collaborating with various community groups and service agencies to identify transportation needs and solutions.

PREVIOUS WORK After a Request for Proposals (RFP) process was completed in September 2018, the StanCOG Policy Board awarded a contract with the consulting firm, McGuire Management Consultancy, to prepare an independent study of the transit systems in Stanislaus County. McGuire Management Consultancy teamed with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates to focus on fixed route efficiencies and data management issues.

The Transit Efficiency and Integration Study was submitted and accepted by the StanCOG Policy Board October 23, 2019. Transit Consolidation was a key issue to be evaluated throughout the study. The analysis of all operations resulted in the recommendation for the formation of a Joint Powers Authority to consolidate all four operators into a single transit operating agency. A Joint Powers Authority would create a new transit agency with a dedicated transit policy Board. Consolidation of services would increase efficiencies for contract negotiations, standardize fares throughout the region and allow for more effective route planning and reduction of duplicated services. Additionally, the newly formed JPA would become responsible for meeting state and federal performance mandates, alleviating concerns faced by the current Transit Operators to meet the Fare Recovery Ratio, and remove potential Fare Box Recovery penalties from being imposed on local jurisdictions that are part of the JPA.

In FY 2019/20, StanCOG Policy Board directed staff to begin preliminary steps for full consolidation of the transit agencies in Stanislaus County. The contract with McGuire Management Consultancy was extended for a period of eighteen months with a target date for a new JPA of July 1, 2021. A working group consisting of both staff and Policy Board members has been formed to address each step during the process and make recommendations for consideration throughout the process for critical decisions that will be made as the project progresses.

Technical Memo #1 Progress Toward Agency Formation was completed in FY 2019/20.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK StanCOG staff will work with the consultant to support collection of documents and data from current transit agencies, coordinate Working Group meetings, maintain documentation of the process and provided updates as needed to the StanCOG Policy Board, planning groups, committees and/or City Councils. A number of work products will be prepared to support the transition process. They will take the form of a series of Technical Memos on specific implementation topics. These Technical Memos will be compiled into the final Transition Plan at the conclusion of the process. Certain of these Memos will serve as documentation of technical data or decisions regarding key implementation steps. Others will be provided to the StanCOG Policy Board for action


70

(202) SB1 Sustainable Communities FY 2020/21: Transit Transition Plan– Page 2

to formalize certain policy decisions. All Technical Memo subjects and content are subject to refinement through the process as implementation decisions adjust overall direction.

A critical step in the transition process will be the preparation of a Regional Transit Plan. This Plan will contribute to the fulfillment of the region’s Sustainable Communities efforts through the identification of opportunities for much more efficient deployment of all transit assets in the region. This will include streamlining service to reduce transfer requirements, better use of physical assets including rolling stock and support facilities, implementation of system-wide passenger information and wayfinding materials to substantially improve the appeal of the transit system to the riding public and consequently increase transit usage with offsetting reduction in vehicular usage. Further contributing to the growth in transit usage will be the integration of the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) into the local transit network. This advances directives to meet Green House Gas (GHG) requirements in the county to extend opportunities for multimodal transportation improvements within the region. As Stanislaus County emerges as a watershed for interregional travel, the full coordination of the local transit system with ACE is expected to be a major factor in reducing interregional vehicular traffic. The Regional Transit Plan will be the mechanism for defining and programming these system refinements. This will enhance mode shifts, provide recommendations for implementing operational efficiencies.

The formation of a new regional transit agency supported by the findings of the Regional Transit Plan will improve access to the system through the enhancements defined above. It is also expected to contribute to the economic viability of the area through improved access to employment, education, and other vital destinations. Finally, the new agency will be governed by a dedicated Board of Directors whose sole focus will be public transit in contrast to the current structure whereby local government jurisdictions manage transit among an entire array of other public services. The improved accessibility of the transit governing board will allow for much greater participation in transit decision-making by members of the community.

The Transit Transition Plan meets the objectives of the Sustainable Communities Grant in planning to advance the community’s efforts to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips and transportation that contribute to GHG. The transition to a new agency will contribute to this critical objective through strategies including advancing mode shift, improving operational efficiency, enhancing accessibility, and refining connections to future employment and land use.

The Regional Transit Plan will identify strategies to increase transit ridership and integration of transit, new emerging technologies and mobility services. The planning process will address all aspects of the transit system including fleet and facility needs, operating costs and revenues, and new transit services or projects. These elements will be incorporated into a fully integrated regional transit plan. This will provide transit-oriented development to benefit businesses and residents, low-income and disadvantaged communities within the region.

(204) SB1 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES COMPETITVE PROJECTS FY 20/21: COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT

PURPOSE The Community Transportation Needs Assessment will be a community-driven study supported by robust public engagement that assesses transportation needs in two select areas of Stanislaus County’s unincorporated Disadvantaged Communities. The Needs Assessment will identify recommendations and needs for future investments that will increase mobility across all ages and abilities in Stanislaus County’s unincorporated communities. BACKGROUND Although the Census-Designated Places in the unincorporated County are home to between 9% and 10% of the Stanislaus region’s population, they have traditionally lacked significant investments in public infrastructure, especially to support alternative transportation modes. Many roadways in these communities lack sidewalks, ADA-compliant crosswalks, gutters, and/or bicycling infrastructure. They are bound by wide, high-speed thoroughfares, many of which serve as state routes with heavy freight and rail traffic, such as State Routes 132, 99, and 120. Consequentially, these communities are already among the most impoverished in all of California, have limited opportunities to walk or bike, and remain dependent on automobiles as their primary means of transportation. The built environment has contributed to high levels of obesity (per the Department of Public Health, Stanislaus County ranked 40th out of 44 measured counties) and low levels of active transportation. The infrastructure in these communities is crumbling, creating unsafe avenues even for drivers, who must contend with haphazard signage, cracking concrete, and unstriped roadways. Unlike traveling in a private vehicle, use of public transportation requires a significant amount of understanding, planning and coordination by the rider. This includes understanding what transportation services are available, when they operate and how to access them. This can sometimes present significant challenges for residents in disadvantaged communities. A safer, more usable transportation network will improve access to and incentivize the use of local and regional transit services that connect to the region's more urban employment centers, including Stanislaus Regional Transit and Modesto Area Express. PREVIOUS WORK In October of 2019, StanCOG staff submitted an application for the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant. Award announcements are expected in Spring of 2020. DESCRIPTION OF WORK The proposed Community Transportation Needs Assessment include extensive public outreach to solicit input on conditions and needs to assess local roadway networks and will recommend strategies to address needs for the Disadvantaged Communities to promote bicycling and walking, increase mobility for all modes, remove transportation barriers, decrease transportation-related fatalities and injuries, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The assessment will focus on two of the region’s most disadvantaged communities, which will be specified upon funding award. This planning effort will also coincide with and succeed StanCOG’s Non-Motorized Transportation Plan and Caltrans District 10’s Active Transportation Plan and build upon those efforts to identify potential future investments addressing the needs of the two Disadvantaged Communities in Stanislaus County. StanCOG will issue an RFP to obtain the services of a qualified consultant to support this work. StanCOG will oversee and review all deliverables associated with the Community Transportation Needs Assessment. StanCOG will coordinate with local agencies, stakeholders (including advocacy and special interest groups and the general public), and the project consultant(s) to maximize public participation and ensure project delivery within scope and budget. StanCOG will employ a competitive procurement process to acquire the services of a qualified consultant

(308) REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION (RHNA) PURPOSE To develop the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) methodology and Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP).

BACKGROUND The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) uses Department of Finance (DOF) population projections to estimate the region’s anticipated housing needs and issues the RHNA Determination, which is the total number of units that jurisdictions within Stanislaus County must collectively plan for in their respective housing elements. Per State law (Government Code sections 65580 et seq.), MPOs must develop and adopt a methodology that allocates a portion of the Determination to each jurisdiction in the region. Once a RHNA methodology has been formally adopted, MPOs are required to develop and issue a RHNP that describes the RHNA process and officially assigns the RHNA allocations to each jurisdiction. The RHNP is required by law to further State housing objectives, which include:

1. Increasing the housing supply and the mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability in all cities and counties within the region in an equitable manner;

2. Promoting infill development and socioeconomic equity, the protection of environmental and agricultural resources, the encouragement of efficient development patterns, and the achievement of the region’s greenhouse gas reductions targets;

3. Promoting an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing; 4. Allocating a lower proportion of housing need to an income category when a jurisdiction already has a

disproportionately high share of households in that income category; 5. Affirmatively furthering fair housing.

The fifth cycle RHNP (2014-2023) was adopted in June 2014, and local jurisdictions are currently implementing their Housing Elements.

PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG last adopted a RHNA methodology and issued a RHNP to the region’s local jurisdictions on June 18, 2014, to coincide with the 2014 RTP/SCS. StanCOG staff has coordinated with local agency staff and attended meetings to determine uses for State funding, including SB2 Planning Grants and Regional Early Action Planning Program funds, intended to help meet upcoming Sixth Cycle allocations. DESCRIPTION OF WORK The sixth cycle RHNP will cover the years 2023-2031. The RHNP development process will begin in 2020 and is anticipated that the RHNP will be taken to the Policy Board for consideration of adoption in June 2022. Valley Vision Stanislaus (VVS), was established in to serve as the committee for RTP and RHNA development. The VVS will reconvene for this planning effort and will meet regularly to discuss housing-related legislative changes, identify and compile available population- and housing-related data throughout the region, determine opportunities and barriers to housing production, and coordinate housing-related planning activities. The group will collectively complete the required RHNA Planning Factors survey to be incorporated into the draft RHNA methodology.


75

(308) Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) – Page 2

StanCOG will procure the services of a qualified consultant to collect and analyze housing-related data and utilize RHNA Planning Factor survey responses to develop a RHNA methodology in coordination with the VVS. The consultant and StanCOG staff will consult with HCD to resolve any discrepancies between the RHNA Determination and StanCOG Regional Demographic Growth Forecast to be included in the 2022 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategies.

StanCOG staff will present updates to its standing advisory committees, Policy Board, and member jurisdiction City Councils, as needed throughout the RHNA methodology and RHNP development process. As required by State law, a public hearing on the draft RHNA methodology will be held prior to adoption.

(322) TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) PURPOSE StanCOG’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program aims at reducing the dependence on motorized travel, particularly single occupancy vehicles, on the transportation network. This program helps address some of the region’s biggest concerns, such as traffic congestion, air quality, livable communities, public health, dependence on fossil fuels, environmental health, climate change, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG staff continued management and administration of the San Joaquin Council of Governments contract, which implements the Stanislaus Region’s TDM program, known as the Dibs (formerly called Commute Connection). Staff participated in bi-monthly project meetings with Dibs staff to better coordinate services in the region and attended local events as needed to help promote program involvement. Staff also participated in monthly CalVan’s Board Meeting and Technical Advisory Committee meetings. DESCRIPTION OF WORK There are effective, alternative options to highway capacity expansion for relieving traffic congestion and meeting increased travel demand. StanCOG’s TDM program increases system efficiency by managing and reducing single-occupancy vehicle trip demand and maximizing the movement of people and goods. TDM strategies include regional ridesharing programs, such as carpooling and vanpooling, promoting alternative work schedules, travel-time shifting (out of the peak period), telecommuting and increasing bicycle, pedestrian, and transit use. StanCOG's TDM program is designed to provide commuters convenient alternatives to driving alone such as promoting the use of carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, walking or riding mass transit. The mission of the program is to help reduce traffic congestion and emissions while improving public health and promoting livable communities, and transportation network safety. The program includes free services such as a commuter ride-matching database, the Guaranteed Ride Home Program, Employer promotional support services, and annual campaigns, such as Rideshare Week and Bike to Work Week. Dibs serves Stanislaus, Merced, and San Joaquin counties. StanCOG staff will continue to participate in bi-monthly project management meetings with Dibs staff, and support outreach efforts to promote ride-share options in the County. The TDM program includes a new monthly subsidy for the vanpool program. A vanpool is a group of up to 15 people who lease a van for the purpose of commuting to and from work together and live at least 20 miles from their workplace. StanCOG provides riders with a monthly subsidy to help offset any cost incurred when leasing the vans. As an incentive to increase theuse of the vanpool program improving reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to the vanpools offered through Dibs, vanpools will now also be offered through CalVans. This will add another non-exclusive option to the current vanpool provider pool through the CalVans’ Farmworker Vanpool and General Public Vanpool programs. Staff will continue to participate in CalVans monthly Board meetings and Technical Advisory meetings and provide management and administrative support to CalVans staff.

(336) PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (PMP) PURPOSE Pavement Management is the process of planning the maintenance and repair of a network of roadways or other paved facilities in order to optimize pavement conditions over the entire network. A pavement management program is a systematic method of inspecting and rating the pavement condition in a given area. The program performs cost effectiveness analysis of various maintenance and rehabilitation strategies, which assists jurisdictional staff in making the best decision on use of available resources. The overall purpose of the program is to keep up with maintaining and rehabilitating assets to maximize their lifespan in a cost-efficient manner. PREVIOUS WORK A county-wide pavement survey (visual field inspection) was completed in 2013 using specialized equipment which evaluated the condition of all street pavement within Stanislaus County. This information was used to analyze where pavement management funds should be spent to gain the most long-term benefit. DESCRIPTION OF WORK StanCOG will coordinate with its member jurisdictions to conduct a pavement survey. The work will include visual field inspections, rating of specific segments of streets and collection of that data into a preferred database. Street conditions are rated into four classes: excellent/very good; good; fair/poor; very poor/failed. The results are ranked on a Pavement Condition Index where 100 would be excellent and 0 would be failing. After field inspections and data collection is complete, the information will be documented in a Pavement Management Plan Final Report. The report shall include the pavement network and current condition, budget information, potential budget scenarios, maintenance practices, GIS maps and conclusions of the report.

(388) SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY (SJV) RURAL TRANSIT ALTERNATIVES / VALLEY FLEX PILOT

PURPOSE California’s Senate Bill 535 directs 25% of the money from the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Fund (cap and trade) to projects that benefit disadvantaged communities. In response to this legislation and in an effort to cost effectively expand low-carbon transportation options in disadvantaged rural communities, the eight San Joaquin Valley MPOs are working in partnership with the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis to develop a pilot program that leverages new shared-use mobility services (such as ride-sourcing, ridesharing, car sharing, ride-hailing and bike sharing) to enhance and/or complement traditional fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride (DAR) transit serving rural disadvantaged communities. The San Joaquin Valley faces three key challenges that result from the high cost of providing transit services to low density populations that span large geographic areas: (1) no transit service, (2) infrequency of fixed route service, and (3) difficulty accessing high quality transit service. Many areas offer DAR transit to meet the most basic needs of residents who, due to a physical or mental disability, are unable to use traditional fixed route transit service; however, the cost of such services in some areas is extremely high. There is a demand for more frequent and extended service hours to meet the needs of students, workers, and persons with disabilities throughout the region. PREVIOUS WORK The SJV Rural Transit Alternatives Study was initiated in 2016 to explore new shared-use mobility options to address these challenges. These options include Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft, shared TNCs (e.g., UberPool and Lyft line), peer-to-peer ridesharing, car sharing, bike sharing, and microtransit. During Phase I of the study, an initial analysis was undertaken of new mobility conceptual programs that could be applied to specific communities in the San Joaquin Valley to reduce costs, better meet the travel needs, and reduce GHG emissions (phase 2 of the project). Other StanCOG supported activities included:

1. Identification of rural disadvantaged census tracts in each county; 2. Focus group meetings to learn about technology barriers; 3. Interviews of new mobility vendors and agencies that are piloting relevant programs to obtain detailed

information on the requirements and feasibility of alternative concepts; 4. Stakeholder interviews to determine if there is institutional support for new mobility programs, 5. Identification of potential pilot locations and technology driven transit alternatives for implementing new

mobility alternatives; 6. Development of an existing conditions report (the Rural Transportation Needs and Opportunities for

Shared-Use Mobility) identifying the demographic and travel characteristics of rural disadvantaged communities in the San Joaquin Valley; and

7. Supported development of a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Mobility Options Grant application.

As a member of the project’s Technical Advisory Committee, StanCOG provided continued technical support to the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis in their development of a detailed plan for a technology driven, shared-access-pilot program, known as Valley Flex, to address the needs of specific communities or sub-regions in the San Joaquin Valley.

(388) San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Rural Transit Alternatives / Valley Flex Pilot– Page 2

The study team, with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District as the lead agency, submitted an application with a request for $2.25 million in funding from the California Air Resources Board for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Car Sharing Pilot Project (referred to as Miocar) and Mobility Options Pilot Project (referred to as Valley FLEX) and was selected for an award. The Valley Flex pilot project launched operations in Spring 2019 with a smartphone-enabled application, VAMOS, that provides smart-travel options to plan inter-and intra-county fixed-route trips across San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties. In December 2019, the program began offering volunteer ride-hailing services, VOGO, to conduct first-and last-mile trips to residents in and around Riverbank area without replacing existing public transit services. UC Davis was able to secure additional gap funding through CARB to extend the Vamos and VOGO pilot through December 2020. StanCOG and UC Davis continue to seek additional funding opportunities to expand the Valley Flex initiatives further into Stanislaus County. In 2019 StanCOG provided technical support for a grant application to FTA’s Integrated Mobility Innovation Demonstration Program to support the expansion of Miocar into the Stanislaus region. Staff participated in community outreach meetings to promote and encourage the use of both the smartphone application and volunteer driving pilot program. Staff also participated in monthly project management meeting with key partners and member agencies. DESCRIPTION OF WORK Through extensive public and stakeholder outreach, StanCOG will encourage and promote the use of VAMOS and VOGO. StanCOG staff will continue to seek additional funding opportunities to support the expansion of Miocar into the Stanislaus region. StanCOG will continue to provide technical assistance, coordinate with Stanislaus MOVE and other project partners, to support the pilot projects throughout development and implementation.

(401) LOCAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MEASURE L) PURPOSE Continued establishment of project operational details and implementation of Measure L – Local Roads First Transportation Funding and the related Expenditure Plan that guides the utilization of the one-half of one percent retail transactions and use tax that was approved by the Stanislaus County voters in November 2016. BACKGROUND Measure L – Local Roads First Transportation Funding passed on November 8, 2016. It achieved 71.95% voter approval. This measure provides for the implementation of the Expenditure Plan, as approved and adopted by StanCOG, which results in countywide local street and road improvements, arterial street widening, signalization, bicyclist, pedestrian, and driver safety, regional projects, and transit improvements. These needed improvements are funded by a one-half of one percent retail transactions and use tax established for a 25-year period. The Operative date of this Measure is April 1, 2017 and expires on March 31, 2042. Over the course of the 25-year Expenditure Plan, it is conservatively estimated that $960 million dollars will be generated to transportation investments throughout Stanislaus County. This funding serves as an investment that leverages future local, State, and Federal grant opportunities. Funds are being used for all phases of project implementation, including: planning, environmental, and design, right-of-way, and/or construction capital and operations projects. PREVIOUS WORK StanCOG provided the necessary documents and contracted with the State Board of Equalization to perform all functions for the administration and operation of this Measure. In November 2017, Measure L Policies & Procedures were developed, adopted and implemented to provide guidance for administering funds from the ordinance. Master Funding Agreements with member agencies were developed, approved and implemented by the StanCOG Policy Board. Funds to member agencies were distributed in accordance with the ordinance and Measure L Policies & Procedures. The Citizen’s Oversight Committee, which was formed in 2017, continued with their quarterly meeting schedule to receive status updates on the progress of projects throughout the region and funding reports. The Measure L Oversight Committee (MLOC) provides an enhanced level of accountability for expenditures made with Measure L sales tax funds to ensure that voter mandates are carried out as intended. A 10-year Measure L Strategic Plan was implemented to prioritize projects and maximize funding opportunities for local projects. The Measure L Strategic Plan was adopted on March 29, 2018 and is to be updated at least every two years. In FY2018/19, Regional Projects Policies & Procedures were developed, and the Strategic Plan was updated. In September 2018, a new Measure L website was created with information regarding projects, programs and actions taken as part of the implementation of Measure L. The link to Measure L website is: http://stanislausmeasurel.com/ In December 2018, the first FY 2017/2018 Measure L Annual Report was completed that identifies the actions and accomplishments of the Authority in meeting the adopted Expenditure Plan.

APPENDIX VI

FUNDING SOURCES Several State and Federal agencies provide funds to supplement local resources to finance the work in the OWP. Each of these sources has constraints and requirements to be accommodated. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) (PL 1% funds) – These Federal funds are available through Caltrans for transportation planning and related activities. A non-federal match of 11.47% is required. Federal Congressional Grant funds – These federal funds have been earmarked for a State Route 132 West Expressway. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) (Section 5303 funds) – These Federal funds are used for transit planning and related activities. A nonfederal match of 11.47% is required. Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) funds – These Federal funds are used by our local governments for a wide variety of transportation projects. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds – These Federal funds are specifically for projects and programs that will contribute to the attainment of national ambient air quality standards. SB1 Sustainable Communities Formula Grants – These are state funds are specifically for projects that plan for GHG and VMT and/or integrate Land Use and Transportation planning. Planning, Programming, and Monitoring funds – These State funds are made available by Senate Bill (SB) 45 of 1997. They are limited to 5% of total Regional Improvement Program funds available to the Stanislaus region. Abandoned Vehicle Service Authority (AVA) (Administration) – Funds required to administer the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program are collected by the state and returned to Stanislaus County. These funds result from collection of an additional $1 in vehicle registration fees. Local Transportation Funds (LTF) (Administration) – Funds requires to administer the Transportation Development Act (TDA) are deducted before apportionments are made to jurisdictions. Local Transportation Funds (LTF) (Planning) – StanCOG receives funds for transportation planning and related activities. Under SB 344 of 1997, these funds are deducted before apportionments are made to jurisdictions. These funds provide the primary source to match the Federal Funds Local Transportation Authority (Measure L) – In November 2016 Stanislaus County voters passed a 25 year half cent sales tax to fund specified transportation projects. StanCOG’s administration of that program statutorily cannot exceed 1% of receipts. Other local – StanCOG dues, interest on funds, and projects specific funds from other local agencies provide the balance of the funds required to finance the OWP.
