(HUlA VISTA ITEM TITLE: SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: 3/23/10, Iteml PUBLIC HEARING ON CHULA VISTA'S PORTION OF THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE SUBMITTAL OF CERTAIN PROJECTS FOR THE TRANSNET LOCAL STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO THE SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS FOR INCLUSION IN THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEARS 2010/2011 THROUGH 2014/2015 AND PROVIDING CERTIFICATION AND INDEMNITY ST A TEMENTS. NECESSARY TO OBTAIN ~R NET FUNDS DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERIN CITY MANAGE~ ~ ASSISTANT CIT~ANAGER S / 4/STHS VOTE: YES 0 NO L8J SUMMARY State and Federal regulations require the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to develop and adopt a Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) every two years in order to continue receiving Federal and State funding. AIl projects that the City of Chula Vista proposes to fund with Transnet funds must be included in the RTIP, as well as projects that are funded with Federal or State transportation funds. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity, conslstmg of approval to submit a funding request for various Transnet Projects to SANDAG, for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060 (c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Although environmental review is not necessary at this time, once the scope of the individual projects proposed to be funded have been more specificaIly defined, environmental review wiIl be required for each project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made. 9-1 3/23/10, Item l Page 2 of7 RECOMMENDATION Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Transnet Historv and Re!!ulations The voters of San Diego County approved the Transnet Program as Proposition A in November 1987. This proposition enacted a half-cent increase in the countywide sales tax through 2008 to fund specified transportation programs and projects. The intent of Proposition A is to supplement the local funds currently being spent on transit and streets and roads, therefore the Plan includes a maintenance of effort requirement for each agency. One third of the revenues generated by the tax were allocated by SANDAG to the local agencies for local streets and roads purposes. These funds have been distributed to cities annually and programmed by cities into local projects. In November 2004, 67 percent of County voters supported Proposition A, which extends Transnet trom 2008 to 2048. It was originally estimated that the Transnet extension would generate approximately $14 billion per year to be distributed among highways, transit, and local road projects. An estimated $4.48 billion would be allocated to local programs, with $3.950 billion distributed to local agencies based on population and maintained miles of roadway. The Transnet Extension Ordinance states that at least 70 percent of the funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects should be used to fund construction of new or expanded facilities, major rehabilitation and reconstruction of roadways, traffic signalization, transportation intrastructure to support smart growth, capital improvements for transit facilities, and operating support for local shuttle and circulator transit routes. No more than 30 percent of Transnet funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects are expected to be used for local street and road maintenance. However, local agencies may deviate from the 70-30 "rule" if they are able to provide sufficient justification to obtain concurrence from SANDAG. This requirement is a significant change from the way original Transnet funding could be used and requires more stringent implementation and monitoring strategies. The SANDAG Board has subsequently adopted guidelines implementing this policy (Attachment I). The Maintenance and Non-Congestion Relief category (limited to 30 percent of funding) includes maintenance activities such as pothole repair, seals, traffic signal and lamp replacement, roadway signing and striping and overlays less than one-inch thick. The Congestion Relief category (at least 70 percent of funding) includes pavement reconstruction as well as overlays one-inch thick or greater, grinding and overlay, new sidewalks and roadway drainage improvements for the purpose of reducing significant roadway flooding. This category also includes various traffic operations improvements, such as traffic signal coordination and interconnection, traffic signal upgrades, video surveillance and data collection for performance monitoring purposes. Certain improvements, such as traffic calming measures, pedestrian ramps, street buffer areas (such as landscaped strips), bus stop enhancements and pedestrian traffic signals, are included in the 70 percent category only if they are in Smart Growth areas. SANDAG has identified 15 existing or potential Smart Growth areas within Chula Vista, 9-2 3/23/10, Item l Page 3 of 7 including several areas within Otay Ranch, as well as the Bayfront, the H Street corridor, Palomar Gateway, Southwestern College and Third Avenue downtown. Agencies are required to provide specific descriptions, locations and limits for all projects within the Congestion Relief Category. With respect to pedestrian and bicycle facilities, SANDAG cites Section 4(E)(3) of the Transnet Ordinance, which states, "All new projects, or major reconstruction projects, funded by revenues provided under this Ordinance shall accommodate travel by pedestrians and bicyclists, except where pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited by law ITom using a given facility or where the cost of including bikeways and walkways would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use." This was further elaborated on in Rule 20 of SANDAG Board Policy 31, "Accommodation of Bicyclists and Pedestrians", adopted by the SANDAG Board of Directors on February 22, 2008. This rule states that evaluating bicycle and pedestrian accommodation is required for all major reconstruction projects included under Congestion Relief under the 70-30 requirement. The decision not to provide for pedestrian and bicycle facilities in a construction or major reconstruction project must be made for good cause, such as severe topographic or biologic constraints, lack of sufficient right-of-way, or missing curb and gutter (for sidewalks). It further states that cities may use a bicycle or pedestrian master plan adopted by the city council and approved by SANDAG within the last five years to determine the appropriate means of accommodating bicyclists and pedestrians in a given project. Since Chula Vista's Bikeway Master Plan was adopted in 2005, it qualifies under this provision. Transnet revenues over the past two years have decreased along with overall sales tax revenue. Chula Vista's portion of Transnet revenue for Fiscal Year 2008-09, originally projected to be $4,577,000, was later revised to $4,272,841. The original revenue projection of $4,451,000 for Fiscal Year 2009-10 was revised to $4,358,099. The SANDAG board action of November 20, 2009 revised these figures further, to $4,127,707 and $3,857,945, respectively (Attachment 2). This leaves the City with a Transnet Program revenue gap for these two years. According to SANDAG, the City needs to reduce its programming or cover this gap by Transnet interest earnings that the City has on hand. In response, the following program changes will be made in FY 2010-11. Transnet Fiscal Year Project Est. Allocation Revised Allocation Difference Program Change 2008-09 CHV06 $ 600,000 $ 256,000 $ 344,000 Revenue Reduced $ 357,000 Transnet Interest 2009-10 CHV06 $ 450,000 $ 93,000 Earnina Allocated 2009-10 CHV48 $2,020,000 $ 1,389,000 $ 631,000 Revenue Reduced $1,068,000 Additionally, due to lower than anticipated construction costs for the the North Broadway Reconstruction project (STM-354/ CHV19), the $895,995 in Transnet funds previously programmed in Fiscal Year 2008-09 is available for other projects. Staff proposes to transfer $631,000 from CHVI9 to CHV48, Pavement Major Rehabilitation (STL354 for Fiscal Year 2009-10), to replace a reduced allocation for Fiscal Year 2009-10. On March 2, 2010 Council adopted two resolutions to amend the 2008 RTIP in order to ensure the City's eligibility to apply for a second round of funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), should they become available (Attachment 3). If the City receives 9-3 3/23/10, Item ~ Page 4 of 7 the ARRA funds, it would involve swapping approved Transnet funding in the 2010 RTIP for Fiscal Years 2009-10 through 2012-13 for projects CHV35, Traffic Signing, Studies and Signal Upgrade, and CHV 48, Pavement Major Rehabilitation. The City submitted a new list of collector and arterial streets that are designated as Federal Aid Highways and therefore eligible for Federal funding. Should the City not receive Federal funding, this list will be used for Pavement Major Rehabilitation projects funded by Transnet. Proposed 2010 RTIP SANDAG's letter dated January 26, 2010 (Attachment 4) provides the schedule for the 2010 RTIP. Agencies are required to submit their proposed projects to SANDAG for inclusion in the 2010 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) by April 2,2010. The 2010 RTIP will cover five fiscal years from Fiscal Year 2010-11 through Fiscal Year 2014-15. The SANDAG Board of Directors is scheduled to adopt the 2010 RTIP on September 24,2010, with State adoption predicted to occur in mid-December, 2010. Chula Vista's share of the FY2011 allocation is estimated to be $3,876,000, with a total estimated revenue of $21,587,000 for the five years ending with FY2015. According to SANDAG's Guidelines requiring a 70-30 percent split between Rehabilitation and Maintenance, the maximum maintenance amount for Fiscal Year 2010-11 would be $1,162,800. Since the 70-30 percent standard pertains to the program as a whole and not necessarily to individual years of the program, staff proposes to maintain the level of 30% maximum maintenance from Fiscal Year 2010-11 through Fiscal Year 2014-15, the last year of the 2010 RTIP. Chula Vista's proposed allocation for the 2010 RTIP is shown on the table, Transnet Allocations FY 2011 through FY 2015 (Attachment 5). These projects will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2010-11 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The following new projects are proposed to be added to the 2010 RTIP: 1. Naples Street Sidewalk Improvements: City staff received authorization rrom Council on September 15,2009 to apply for grants for several projects under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). On February 3, 2010 staff was notified that the City would receive a $289,800 HSIP grant for the construction of missing curb, gutter, sidewalk and other inrrastructure on the south side of Naples Street between Broadway and Fifth Avenue. This includes $32,200 in matching transfer funds for this project. Additionally, $150,000 is being requested for preliminary engineering and design for the Naples Street corridor from Fifth Ave. through Third Ave. This project will provide connection to the HSIP-funded improvements and is identified in the draft Pedestrian Master Plan. 2. New Sidewalk Construction: These locations are all identified in the draft Pedestrian Master Plan as priority corridors for pedestrian infrastructure improvements. Matching funds only are included for C Street. Since curb and gutter have already been included for this project, it is a good location for a grant application. Design and preliminary engineering are included for the other projects. Staff will pursue grant funding for construction of improvements at these locations as well. 9-4 3/23/10, Item~ Page 5 of7 The following locations are included: . C Street trom Fifth Ave. to 350 feet west of Fourth Ave.: $38,100 . Moss Street from Broadway to Fourth Ave.: $75,000 . Oxford Street from Broadway to Fifth Ave.: $75,000 . Palomar Street trom Broadway to FourthAve.: $150,000 3. North Fourth Ave. Widenin2 (Fourth Ave. and Brisbane St.): This project was previously included in the RTIP as part of a larger project to generally improve North Fourth Ave. as a major gateway into Chula Vista. Since the City was unable to obtain earmark funding for the larger project, it was deleted from the RTIP in order to provide more funding for pavement rehabilitation. Staff recommends funding a smaller project to alleviate a traffic constriction on the east side of Fourth Ave. trom Brisbane Street to SR52. It is estimated that this project will cost $250,000. 4. Bonita / Allen School Road Draina2e Structure (DRI87): Portions of the reinforced concrete box culvert are damaged and in need of repair in order to prevent sudden failure. Failure of this culvert would cause flooding and impede traffic at this busy intersection. Repair of the culvert would also enable the City to construct ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps at this location. The estimated cost is $150,000. 5. Pavement Mana2ement Pr02ram (OP219): The City entered into an agreement for implementation of a new pavement management system in January 2006, with the last Citywide inspection in spring 2006. Council approved the use of the system for conducting a cost-effective pavement rehabilitation program in April 2007. In order to have an accurate indication of the City's progress, a Citywide inspection needs to be done at least every five years. The estimated cost is $400,000 over five years (including $250,000 in FYII), which includes a Citywide inspection in 2011, a mid-cycle inspection of major collectors, arterials and other streets in 2013-2014 and software updates. 6. Traffic Si!!llal UPI!rade: Fourth Ave. and G Street. Second Ave. and Ouintard St.: On February 3, 2010, staff was notified that the City would receive $270,230 in HSIP grant funds for the signal upgrade at Fourth Ave. and G Street. The Transnet allocation of $34,470 is the required 10% match. Staff also recommends upgrade of the traffic signal at Second Ave. and Quintard Street. Funding of $264,995 will be provided through a transfer iTom the North Broadway Transnet allocation (CHVI9). Signal upgrade projects at specified locations can be included in the Congestion Relief portion of the Transnet budget. It is anticipated that additional locations will be added in future years. Additionally, the following are the major ongoing projects that are proposed to receive additional funding through this amendment: I. Traffic En2ineerin2 Pro2rams: These projects relate to several ongoing City programs related to maintaining compliance with City threshold standards, traffic monitoring and safety improvements. Proposed Transnet funding and CIP projects include the following: a. Traffic Monitoring (STL274, TF321, TF325): $190,000 in FYll, $70,000 per year in FYl2 and FY13. 9-5 3/23/10, Item ~ Page 6 of 7 b. Congestion Relief (TF354): Nothing in FYll, estimated $75,000 per year subsequently. c. Traffic Signing and Striping (TF332) (STM369), Studies and Signal/Streetlight Upgrade (TF366): $75,000 in FYll, estimated $150,000 to $160,000 per year subsequently. d. Traffic Calming Program (TF345): $240,000 in FYI2, $270,000 in FYI3. e. Neighborhood Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Program (TF327): $230,000 each in FYI2 and FY13. f. Traffic Signal System Optimization: $50,000 in FYll, $50,000 to $52,000 per year subsequently 2. Traffic Si!!nals: It is proposed that $1,000,000 from the allocation for FYII be used to pay for eligible traffic signal and intersection lighting work done by the City's crews. The amount of funding in subsequent years will be revisited on an annual basis. 3. Pavement Maior Rehabilitation: This includes the portion of the Pavement Rehabilitation Program that includes overlays (one-inch and greater) and reconstruction. Compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) is required. The City has revised this street list (Attachment 6) as a part of the 2008 RTIP Amendment approved by Council on March 2, 2010. This list consists of Federal Aid Highways which are eligible for Federal funding if it should become available. It is proposed that this list also be used for the Transnet-funded Pavement Major Rehabilitation program. A total of $1,267,530 in Transnet funds should be available in FYI!. Subsequent years' allocations are estimated. 4. Other Existin!! Proiects: The following are other existing projects that have proposed appropriations during Fiscal Year 2010-11. a. Advance Planning Studies (OP202): $38,700 b. Bayshore Bikeway (STL337): $25,000 c. Pedestrian Master Plan (STL323): $25,000 Staff has evaluated all the projects for compliance with the bicycle and pedestrian regulations. The list of streets included in CHV 48 were already reviewed for compliance for the 2008 RTIP amendment, so they do not need to be reconsidered. The inclusion of new sidewalks along C, Naples, Moss, Oxford and Palomar Streets will improve the current pedestrian accommodations. All these locations are in compliance with the City's 2005 Bikeway Master Plan. This also applies to North Fourth A venue. No bicycle or pedestrian exclusions are necessary. The Transnet Extension Ordinance also requires that the City exact from the private sector a minimum of$2000 per new residential unit (EDU), effective July I, 2008, with annual escalation based on the ENR (or similar) Construction Cost Index. These exactions are to pay for the proportional share of funding to improve the Regional Arterial System. Low to moderate income housing units are exempt. The City's Transportation Development Impact Fee has been in place for many years for the area of the City east of I-80S. On March 18, 2008 Council enacted the Western Chula Vista Transportation Development Impact Fee (WTDIF) at the rate of $3243 per EDD. The City is in compliance with these requirements. The WTDIF began to be collected as of May 19, 2008. The TDIF also complies, even though it was enacted before the new Transnet legislation was adopted. 9-6 3/23/10, Item l Page 7 of7 DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the properties which are the subject of this action. CURRENT FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact in Fiscal Year 2009-10. This action will have a positive impact on the General Fund. Transnet will be used in Fiscal Year 20 I 0-11 to offset $1,000,000 in costs for Public Works staff that would have otherwise been paid out of the General Fund. Additionally, Transnet will be used to provide matching funds for two new projects funded by grants, which is a cost-effective use of these funds. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT None. ATTACHMENTS I.

No more than 30 percent of these funds should be used for local street and road maintenance purposes. The required multi-year Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) project lists submitted by local agencies that are found to be out of compliance with this requirement will not be approved. Local agencies may request an exception to this requirement and must provide justification for such a request as part of its project list submittal. The following table categorizes and lists the more typical types of facilities that are considered to contribute to congestion relief. For other facilities not listed, it must be demonstrated that congestion relief can be obtained before the project can be considered part of the 70 percent Congestion Relief category. Maintenance costs of items listed in the 70 percent Congestion Relief category are eligible under the 30 percent category. Facilities that are not considered to contribute to congestion relief (Items 28-30) are eligible under the 30 percent category. Congestion Relief (At least 70%) Maintenance and Non.Congestion Relief (No more than 30%) New or Expanded Facilities 1. New roadways and bridges 2. Roadway and bridge widening 3.

Erosion control (unless required as part of a congestion relief project) 29. Landscaping (unless required as part of a congestion relief project) 30. Roadway signing and delineation (unless it is a congestion relief project) Note: Staff costs for congestion relief project development (environmental, preliminary engineering, design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction management) are eligible expenditures under the 70 percent category. Staff costs for transportation infrastructure maintenance or traffic operations efforts are eligible under the 30 percent category. Costs for general TransNet fund administration and transportation planning are eligible up to 1 percent of annual revenues. To receive credit for providing congestion relief under the 70 percent category, smart growth-related infrastructure must be provided in one of the existing or planned (not potentia!) seven Regional Comprehensive Plan smart growth land use type characteristic areas: Metropolitan Center, Urban Center, Town Center, Community Center, Transit Corridor, Special Use Center, or Rural Community.

The 2010 RTlP is scheduled for San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board adoption on September 24, 2010. The RTIP is a multiyear program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit, and bikeway projects, including the TransNet Program of Projects (POP). The 2010 RTIP will cover the five-year period from Fiscal Year (FY) 2010/11 through FY 2014/15. SANDAG, acting as the San Diego County Regional Transportation Commission, approves the TransNet POP as an element of the RTIP, In developing and approving the list of TransNet POP to be included in the RTIP, each agency and SANDAG must comply with all provisions of the TransNet Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, in addition to any other implementing ordinances, policies, and rules, as appropriate. Due to the anticipated September adoption of the 2010 RTIP, for TransNet purposes, the 2008 RTlP will continue to be in effect until September 2010. For state and federally funded projects, the 2008 RTIP will be in effect until the adoption of the 2010 RTlP, anticipated to be in mid-December. Pursuant to federal and state laws and the TransNet Ordinance, agencies are required to submit capital projects that cover the next five FYs. The Transportation Committee, at its July 16, 2010, meeting, is scheduled to release the Draft 2010 RTIP, including its conformity determination, and set the September 3,2010, meeting to hold a public hearing and recommend the adoption of the 2010 RTlP to the Board. In order to meet this timeline, the agencies must submit projects no later than April 2, 2010. 9-15 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN (RTP): The RTP is the long-range transportation vision for the region. The RTIP implements the projects identified in the initial years of the RTP. The RTIP is required to be consistent with the projects in the RTP, including scope, cost, and schedule. Currently, SANDAG is undergoing the update to the RTP. No project can be included in the RTIP uniess it also included in the RTP. AGencies are encouraGed to ensure that proiects submitted for inclusion throuGh the RTP also are included in the RTIP, eSDec;allv caoacitv-increasina (CI) or reaionallv sianificant orojects. BACKGROUND Federal Metropolitan Planning and Air Quality Conformity Regulations identify the required content of the RTIP and prescribe the process for air quality conformity anaiysis. The RTIP must include all major projects requesting certain categories of federal/state transportation funding or federal project approval. All regionally significant and/or CI transportation projects, regardless of funding sources, are required to be included in the RTIP and incorporated into the air quality quantitative emissions analysis. All projects included in the 2010 RTIP must be consistent with the RTP for the San Diego region. The projects in the RTlP must be based on committed or reasonable expectation of fund availability and all projects, and the program must be constrained by year, based on available revenues. Additional requisite is that agencies ensure that all project submittals have a reasonable expectation of funding in the programmed years. A major component of the RTIP includes the state and federal transportation projects adopted by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the State Highway Operation and Protection Program. The CTC is scheduled to adopt the STIP in May 2010, and the RTIP is due to the state by October 1, 2010. The 2010 RTIP details the mqjor projects anticipated to be initiated and/or implemented during the period FY 2010/11 to FY 2014/15. Projects using the following categories of federal, state, and local funding must be included in the RTIP: Federal Transportation Funds 1) Surface Transportation Program 2) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program 3) Transportation Enhancement Activities Program 4) Highway Bridge Program/Seismic Retrofit/High-Risk Rural Roads 5) Hazard Elimination Safety/Safe Routes to School/Highway Safety Program 6) Federal Lands Highways/Indian Reservation Roads 7) Federal Demonstration/High-Priority Projects 8) Federal Transit Administration programs 9) Federal Transit/Highway Discretionary projects 10) Any other federal transportation programs 2 9-16 State Transportation Funds 1) STIP - Regional and Interregional Improvement Programs 2) State Highway Operation and Protection Program 3) Funding from Proposition 1 B programs 4) Funding from Proposition 1A program 5) Traffic Congestion Relief Program - carryover only 6) Any other state transportation programs Local Transportation Funds 1) TransNet- Sales Tax Measure 2) Local Funds (developer fees, gas tax, etc.) For federal programs and certain state programs, there are specific local match requirements. The local match must be programmed in the year in which the funds are anticipated to be obligated. TransNet - LOCAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS Any major project with a total cost of $300,000 or more must be individually listed in the RTIP. SANDAG encourages agencies to "lump sum" or aggregate individual projects costing less than $300,000 and of a similar type of work (e.g., minor roadway resurfacing) as a single line item as long as the type of work being proposed is consistent with the air quality exempt project classifications (see Table 2). TransNet Revenue Estimates: Table 1 shows the estimated TransNet revenues for each jurisdiction during the 2010 RTIP period. The estimates are for use in developing the TransNet POP for the 2010 RTIP. The actual fund allocations to each agency will be based on monthly sales tax receipts from the State Board of Equalization, with the fund distribution updated annually using current population and maintained miles data. The revenue information is available on the RTIP Web site, as well as in the "Report" section of ProjectTrak. Public Hearinq: Board Policy No. 31 requires each local agency to hold a public hearing prior to adoption of the 2010 RTIP. The submittals must include evidence of formal action by the legislative bodies of the cities and the county-i.e" governing body resolution. Attachment A is the resolution SANDAG encourages agencies to use for this purpose. Agencies can add, but not delete or replace, any section of the resolution. Requirement Under TransNet Extension: The TransNet extension includes several additional requirements, including the Bicycle and Pedestrian accommodation, congestion relief and maintenance distribution, maintenance of effort formula, and the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program. Sections relevant to programming are shown in Attachment B. 3 9-17 Independent Taxpaver Oversiaht Committee (lTOC): The TransNet Extension Ordinance includes the responsibilities of the ITOC. One main focus is to review and recommend to the Transportation Committee or the Board the TransNet POP proposed by local agencies (see Section 11 of the ordinance). Debt Financina: For those agencies with project cash fiow needs that exceed the estimated TransNet revenues available, debt financing options are available for either the short term (Commercial Paper program) or for the long term (long-term bond). TransNet Policy prescribes the requirements for debt financing. Councii/Board resolution and an executed memorandum of understanding are required before any debt can be issued. Projects funded through this mechanism are required to be programmed in the RTIP. To participate, interested agencies should contact SANDAG. The TransNet Ordinance and the TransNet Policy documents are available on the RTlP Web site. Agencies are encouraged to review the pertinent sections of the ordinance and within the policy for further information. BIKEWAY PROJECTS The Bicycle-Pedestrian Working Group develops the nonmotorized projects funded with either TransNet-Bicycle funds or the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Bicycie program through a separate process. Projects funded with these programs are listed as a lump sum in the RTIP, with SANDAG as the lead agency. If a bike project is funded with federal or state funds in addition to the local TransNetor TDA bike funds, those projects can be listed individually by the sponsoring agency. Therefore, agencies should only submit those bike projects that are funded from other sources or using TransNet-Local Street Improvement funds. FEDERAL AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY REQUIREMENTS Federal regulations require that SANDAG conduct an air quality conformity analysis of all regionally significant projects that increase the transportation system capacity. This includes major local- and developer-funded projects and any other state or federally funded projects that might not otherwise appear in the RTIP, as well as new projects or major changes in project scope for existing programmed projects. Agencies are asked to review all their CI projects in the current 2008 RTIP and provide updated information as necessary. This level of information is necessary to provide accurate regional transportation/emissions forecast modeling. In addition to the written information, agencies are required to provide drawings (before and after diagrams) for each CI project. Projections of pollutant emissions are developed for several anaiysis years based on the estimated project opening dates. Attachment C provides guidance on the type of information required for each CI project and samples of maps/diagrams. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality Conformity Rule includes a list of project categories that are exempt from air quality conformity determinations or regional emissions analysis. Table 2 provides a list of projects exempt from air quality conformity determination, and Table 3 lists the types of projects exempt from regional emissions analysis. These projects can be included and subsequently amended into the RTIP without a conformity finding or a new regional emissions analysis. 4 9-18 2010 RTIP REVIEW, ADOPTION, AND UPDATE SCHEDULE The 2010 RTIP is due to the state by October 1, 2010. Attachment D provides the RTIP schedule. Important dates to remember are the following: .
