AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, more commonly known as Senate Bill 1 (SB1). SB1 went into effect on November 1, 2017, enacted vehicle fees and a gas tax to provide the first significant, stable increase in state transportation funding in more than two decades. Statewide, SB1 invests more than $5 billion annually in long-term, dedicated transportation funding to rehabilitate and maintain local streets, roads, and highways, make critical, life-saving safety improvements, repair and replace aging bridges and culverts, reduce congestion and increase mobility options including bicycle and pedestrian facilities with the revenues split equally between state and local projects.
Locally, SB1 will provide $3 million annually to the region for road maintenance, public transit, and local priority transportation projects.
Funding from SB1 for County roads is estimated to be approximately $2 million annually; essentially doubling our road maintenance funds for filling potholes and fixing local streets. The SB1 funding is allocated through a formula calculation where 75% is weighed through the vehicles registered in the jurisdiction and the remaining 25% on the maintained mileage which is part of CSAC Policy. In the Fiscal Year 2022-23, San Benito County will receive an estimated $2,471,294.00 from the State of California.
Additionally, SB1 has meaningful accountability and transparency provisions designed to ensure the public has full access to information on how their tax dollars are being invested. Cities and Counties must publicly adopt and submit to the California Transportation Commission a planned list of projects and year-end reporting that accounts for every single dollar of SB1 revenue. This resolution is due to the California Transportation Commission annually, no later than July 1, 2022.
