RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR
CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY FUND (CMAQ)
UNDER THE INTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION
EFFICIENCY ACT (ISTEA) OF 1991 AND DESIGNATING THE
CITY ENGINEER AS THE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE FOR
THIS PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) was enacted
as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991; and,
WHEREAS, the San Diego County Area is scheduled to receive more than ~ 12.7 million
over a six-year period (6 cycles) under this program; and,
WHEREAS, projects must be used for transportation improvements that enhance air
quality and the State has determined that signal timing enhancement, traffic sign equipment
upgrade, and traffic signal computer control equipment are high priorities under the CMAQ
program; and,
WHEREAS, staff believes that the City's existing computerized traffic signal system
which was "state of the art" when installed, but is now five years old has limitations on its
ability to respond to continuous changes in traffic flow; and,
WHEREAS, the current state of the art signal timing referred to as "Split Cycle-Time
and Offset Optimization Technique" (SCOOT) provides an opportunity to the City to make our
signal system more responsive to changes in traffic patterns and peak hour volumes; and,
WHEREAS, staff recommends the filing of an application for CMAQ funding to upgrade
our traffic signal system to a SCOOT system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby approve the filing of an application for approximately ~1.9 million over six years
of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Funds under the Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 to design and implement a SCOOT traffic signal control system
in Chula Vista and designating the City Engineer as the authorized representative for this
program.
