Reason for Recommended Action/Background
In 2017, SB-1 was enacted and provided funding for transportation infrastructure maintenance and repair, including the maintenance of local streets and roads. To ensure transparency in the use of RMRA funds, the State requires eligible jurisdictions to adopt a resolution with proposed projects for the upcoming fiscal year. The County’s list of proposed projects was selected using Board adopted criteria:
- Identify and prioritize road projects that serve historically disadvantaged communities by considering equity in each step of the project development process.
- Use the County’s Pavement Management Program to quantitatively identify candidate projects and treatments.
- Give priority to corridors that serve the most traffic.
- Consider the likelihood that a corridor or project may qualify for alternative funding sources.
- Give priority to segments that presently require excessive road repairs.
- Identify better quality pavements whose life can be extended with preventative maintenance treatments, to extend service life.
- Schedule projects in a given year within the same general proximity to reduce mobilization costs.
- Select methods and sequencing to allow material recycling, where feasible, to enhance sustainability.
- Bundle projects to achieve economies of scale.
The FY2023/24 project list for RMRA expenditure is provided in the attached resolution (Attachment A).
Pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code, section 2034(a)(1), prior to receiving an apportionment of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, the Board must approve a list of proposed projects pursuant to a resolution adopted at a regular public meeting and submit it to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
