Director of Public Works
File No.: 16.06.85
TOPIC: INPUT ON FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
SUBJECT: TAM'S OBAG CYCLE 2 FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THREE CITY
OF SAN RAFAEL PROJECTS
RECOMMENDATION: Provide input on TAM's programming of OBAG Cycle 2 funding
recommendations for San Rafael transportation projects.
BACKGROUND: In her July 28, 2016 report to the TAM Board of Commissioners (attached),
Executive Director, Dianne Steinhauser, describes the One Bay Area Grant program as "MTC's funding
approach that attempts to integrate the region's federal transportation program with California's climate
law and the Sustainable Communities Strategy. Funding distribution to the counties is intended to
encourage land use and housing policies that support the production of housing with supportive
transportation investments."
By way of background, OBAG Cycle 1 funding covered the period from FY 12/13 to FY 16/17. San
Rafael received $1,900,000 for our Regional Transportation System Enhancements project (#11237) and
$457,000 for the Del Presidio-Pt. San Pedro Resurfacing project (#11238).
ANALYSIS: OBAG Cycle 2 funding targets projects scheduled for completion between FY 17/18 and
FY 21/22. A total of $10,700,000 County wide is available. TAM issued a Call for Projects on March
30, 2016 and received 42 applications from 15 Marin County applicants, including the City of San Rafael,
by the May 6, 2016 deadline. TAM staff recommended funding for 19 projects. Based on the criteria set
forth in the referenced July 28, 2016 report, TAM recommended funding various amounts for the
following projects within the City of San Rafael:
• Francisco Boulevard East sidewalk improvements
Bettini Transit Center - interim or permanent relocation (Regional transit project requested by
GGT, MT and SMART)
Multi -Use Pathway ("MUP") from 2nd St. to Andersen Dr. along SMART's right-of-way

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Paae: 2
In short, there is $3.1 million in available funding and $6 million in requests for the above three projects.
The following is a brief description of the projects with the requests in bold that add to the $6 million.
Francisco Boulevard East. San Rafael's highest local priority is to complete the sidewalk upgrade along
Francisco Boulevard East. The funds requested by San Rafael staff for improvements from Vivian Street
to the Grand Avenue Bridge are approximately $5.5 million. Since it was not possible to dedicate such a
large amount to a single project, TAM worked with San Rafael staff to identify a portion of the project
that could proceed with a smaller amount of funds. At TAM's request, staff identified a portion of the
widening project that can be constructed for approximately $2.2 million.
MUP. The 2nd to Anderson Drive MUP along the SMART right-of-way is the top priority of the Marin
County Bicycle Coalition and the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. The cost of the
pathway is estimated to be $3.3 million, including $1 million that may be from MTC. Staff's request
therefore was for approximately $2.3 million.
Transit Center. When the TAM report was prepared, MTC had not acted on a recommendation to use a
portion of funds earmarked for Port Sonoma ($18.4 million) to fund the Bettini Transit Center work. At
the time of the July 28 TAM staff presentation to the TAM Board, MTC had approved the
recommendation. The action still needs to be confirmed by FHWA and Caltrans. The interim solution for
the Bettini Transit Center will cost approximately $3.2 million. SMART's intends to utilize the $3.2
million from the earmark to fund temporary transit center improvements (interim transit center) as their
current construction schedule is faster than the time it would take for a permanent transit center to be
constructed and in use. Based on this plan, SMART, the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and
Transportation District, and Marin Transit requested $1.5 million in OBAG Cycle 2 funds for the design
and environmental clearance for the permanent transit center relocation project.
At their July 28, 2016 meeting, the TAM Board discussed how to prioritize the $3.1 million of available
funding for City of San Rafael transportation projects. Ultimately, the TAM Board decided to defer the
decision until their next meeting. All the other funding priorities were approved.
Input from the City Council is requested as the TAM Board plans to reconvene on this subject at their
next Board meeting, September 22nd. The Mayor represents the City of San Rafael City Council on the
TAM Board and requested that the Council discuss and provide input on the above projects.
City staff and the TAM Executive Director will be present at the Council meeting to provide updates and
the latest ideas on how to make progress on all three projects with the funding available.
FISCAL IMPACT: Up to $3.1 in grant funding may be available for San Rafael transportation projects.
There is no City match requirement.
ACTION REQUIRED: Staff recommends that the City Council provide input on TAM's programming
of OBAG Cycle 2 for San Rafael projects.

RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the TAM Board approve the funding recommendations shown in Attachment D.
BACKGROUND
The One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Program is MTC's funding approach that attempts to integrate the
region's federal transportation program with California's climate law (Senate Bill 375, Steinberg, 2008) and
the Sustainable Communities Strategy. Funding distribution to the counties is intended to encourage land -
use and housing policies that support the production of housing with supportive transportation investments.
OBAG Cycle 1 covered a five-year period from FY 12/13 to FY 16/17. TAM programmed funds from
OBAG Cycle 1 to eligible projects in November 2012. Those projects have either been completed or will
be entering construction in FY 16/17.
In November 2015, MTC adopted guidelines for funding distribution from OBAG Cycle 2 that covers
another five-year period from FY 17/18 to FY 21/22.
OBAG CYCLE 2 DISTRIBUTION
MTC provided distribution figures for OBAG 2 that shows a total of $790 million. Of the $790 million
available, MTC set aside $436 million (55%) for regional programs and $354 million (45%) for county
distribution. The regional programs include $16 million for Priority Conservation Area (PCA) projects.
The PCA Program in administered by the California Coastal Conservancy for the Bay Area as a regional
program but the four North Bay counties will be provided $2.05 million each to administer their own
individual programs.
The below table summarizes the categories and amounts for the Regional Programs to be administered by
MTC.

Of the $354 million available for comity distribution, MTC used a formula that factored population,
housing RHNA, housing production, and housing affordability. Based on this formula and a policy
principle that TAM staff fought for and were successful in achieving -- to keep smaller counties whole from
OBAG 1, TAM received $10,025,000 for OBAG 2, as summarized in the below table. This county
distribution amount is separate from the $2,050,000 in PCA fluids that TAM received from the Regional
Programs.
Marin's share of (rousing was reduced from 2.7% of the regional total of housing need to 1.3% that resulted
in reducing Marin's share of the County Distribution to $8.3 million in OBAG 2 funds versus $10.3 million
in OBAG 1. TAM's Executive Director and Marin's MTC Commissioner worked with MTC to raise the
funds available to $10 million, roughly equal to what Marin received under OBAG 1.
MTC agreed to this adjustment for this cycle of federal funds with a clear warning to TAM that the
adjustment will not be allowed in future cycles of federal foods, and so Marin should expect less in the
future.
Fixine America's Surface Transportation Act
On December 4, 2015, a new five-year federal surface transportation authorization was signed into law.
The new law, called Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST), increased federal funding
available to the MTC region by $72 million. Combined with $54 million in unallocated existing revenues,
MTC has S 126 million in additional funds to augment the OBAG 2 framework.
On July 13, 2016, MTC's Programming and Allocations Committee (PAC) recommended to the MTC
Commission to program $32 million of the additional funds to the county distribution by the fornrula noted
above. The rest of the funds were recommended to be allocated to a combination of Housing Production
Incentive Program, Bay Bridge improvements, Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Program,
Transit Priorities projects, and Climate Initiatives projects.
Of the $32 million programmed to county distribution, TAM will receive $845,000 on top of the
$10,025,000 mentioned above, for a total of $10,870,000.
The MTC Commission is scheduled approved the PAC's recommendation on July 27, 2016,
COUNTY DISTRIBUTION
Subject to MTC Commission's approval of the additional funds from the FAST Act on July 27, 2016, TAM
is scheduled to receive $10,870,000 in OBAG 2 funds and $2,050,000 in PCA funds. The PCA finds were
Making the Most of Merin County Transportation Dollars 78
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10 Page 3 of 10
July 28, 2016
issued through a separate Call for Projects and will be deliberated preceding this OBAG item on the TAM
Board July agenda.
Of the $10,870,000 available, MTC set aside a minimum amount for each county for CMA planning and
administrative activities. These are primarily activities that MTC requires CMAs to perform. TAM has
been receiving these funds for the last 10 years and relies on them. While MTC estimates an average of
$765,000 annually for CMA activity, TAM staff believe we can reduce this amount to a lower level of
funding, making more funds available for programming to projects and programs. The MTC set aside for
CMA planning and administrative activities for the five-year period is $3,822,000, leaving $7,048,000 for
projects and programs.
OBAG 2 Guidelines require minimum amounts to be programmed for Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
projects and projects in Priority Development Areas (PDAs) for each CMA. Of the $7,048,000 available,
TAM is required to program a minimum of $864,000 to SRTS projects or programs and $3,092,000 to
projects in PDAs. Marin City and Downtown San Rafael are the two PDAs in Marin. Please note that a
SRTS project in a PDA would count toward both minimum requirements.
In February 2016, the TAM Board authorized staff to augment the OBAG 2 funds with other local finds
shown in the below table to increase the available amount to be programmed, atter the set -asides were
deducted. Staff was able to increase the available funds due to a Highway 101 Gap Closure credit of $3
million recently received in 2015. The Caltrans credit can be used on project types that are eligible for
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds, as that is the source of the credit. It would be
prudent to program these funds where eligibility, timing, and federal complexity issues are potential
impediments to delivery.
In addition to the Caltrans credit, staff included this coming annual cycle of Transportation Fund for Clean
Air (TFCA) and Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funds to the OBAG 2 Call for Projects.
TFCA and TDA funds are limited to bicycle, pedestrian, and clean air projects. TAM annually issues a Call
for Projects with TFCA and TDA funds. Given the timing and likelihood of receiving bicycle and
pedestrian applications from the OBAG 2 Call for Projects, including the upcoming annual amount of
TFCA and TDA funds would be efficient and gives us the latitude to match specialized funds with specific
projects.

CALL FOR PROJECTS
A Call for Projects was issued on Mach 30, 2016 with all of the abovementioned available funds except for
the additional funds of $845,000 from the FAST Act. The $845,000 additional funds from the FAST Act
were factored into the selection process after applications were received since the funds were only
Making the Most of Merin County Transportation Collars 79
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10 Page 4 of 10
July 28, 2016
recommended by MTC's PAC on July 13, 2016 and still conditioned on the approval from the MTC
Commission on July 27, 2016.
If the MTC Commission does not approve the additional finds from the FAST Act for County Distribution
or reduce the amount recommended by the PAC, staff will return at a later TAM Board meeting to
recommend a reduction in progranuning equivalent to final amount available.
Auulications Received
By the deadline of May 6, 2016, TAM received 42 applications from 15 applicants. For the first time with
these federal funds, the Call for Projects allowed transit operators to be eligible applicants. With these
applications received, Marin Transit, Golden Gate Transit, and SMART became first-time applicants.
Another first-time applicant was the National Park Service (NPS) with a bike trail application. The
remaining applicants were the cities, towns, Marin County, and TAM. A total of 42 applications were
initially considered and evaluated for the available amount of $9,813,000. Attachment A is a summary and
descriptions of the applications received.
The total amount requested from the 42 applications is over $49 million. Based on the amount available of
$10.7 million, there is a requested to available funds ratio of 5 to I or only 220/o of the requested funding
can be delivered.
Attachment A provides lists of applications and Attachment B is the local priorities as provided by the
applicants with multiple applications. Please note that some applications may have multiple components,
such local streets and roads (LSR) components and bicycle and pedestrian components, but they were
sorted into the category where one component appears to be the dominant component of the application.
The distinctions between Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and bicycle and pedestrian applications are
particularly difficult to distinguish. Some applications can be easily classified as both.

The following requirements only apply to OBAG 2 federal funds. They are not applicable to local, TFCA,
or TDA finds. If an applicant is ruled ineligible from receiving OBAG 2 federal funds by MTC, the same
applicant may still receive local, TFCA, and/or TDA funds.
Housing Element
MTC requires applicants receiving OBAG 2 federal funds must have a general plan housing element
adopted and certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for
Making the Most of Marin County Transportation Dollars 80
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10 Page 5 of 10
July 28, 2016
2014-2022 by May 31, 2015. Jurisdictions that have failed to meet this deadline must have their housing
elements certified by HCD by June 30, 2016 in order to be eligible to receive OBAG 2 funding. For transit
operator sponsored applications, the jurisdiction where the project is located must meet this requirement.
All Marin jurisdictions have met this requirement.
Comnlete Street Resolution
MTC requires applicants receiving OBAG 2 federal funds must adopt a Complete Streets compliant
revision to the circulation element of the general plan after January 1, 2010 or adopt a complete street
resolution by the date TAM submits TAM Board -approved OBAG 2 applications to MTC. Deadline for
submission to MTC is June 2017 but TAM anticipates submitting approved applications sooner than the
submission deadline. For transit operator sponsored applications, the jurisdiction where the project is
located must meet this requirement.
MTC staff recently reported that as of June 30, 2016, the Marin jurisdictions are considered non -complying
include: Corte Madera, Sausalito, and Novato. However, in the past month, Corte Madera and Sausalito
have submitted resolutions for MTC's review and approval. Novato staff has reported that it will meet this
requirement by the time TAM submits approved applications to MTC with the possibility of presenting a
resolution to its Council for approval in September 2016.
If the outstanding jurisdictions do not received approval from MTC for their Complete Sheet Resolutions
by the time TAM submits its approved applications, staff may need to return to the TAM Board with
revised recommendations that omit non -complying applicants from receiving OBAG 2 funds.
APPLICATION EVALUATION
TAM staff considered the following factors (not in priority order), among others, in reconunending
applications to the TAM Board for funding. These factors were either specifically noted in the OBAG 2
Guidelines by MTC or included by staff as germane. All of these factors were included in the Call for
Projects:
• Does the project reduce congestion in Maria?
• Who are the beneficiaries of this project and how many are projected to benefit from this project?
• Does the project support transportation and land use connections by encouraging housing and
employment near transit?
• Does the project improve transportation choices and connectivity or promote multi -modal access?
• Is the project in or proximate to a PDA?
• Is the project regionally significant?
• Does the project leverage other funds/amount and timing of matching funds?
• Is this project a local priority?
• Does this project support the delivery of goods and services?
As must as possible, staff attempted to quantify the evaluation criteria with nneasureable distinctions
between applications. For evaluation criteria that are not naturally quantifiable, staff evaluated the factors
with a high/medium/low or yes/no evaluation.

EVALUATION PROCESS
Page 6 of 10
The evaluation was conducted initially by TAM staff and a consultant based on the abovementioned
criteria. Based on these criteria, the applications were ranked in order of priority.
in addition, TAM's Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) and the Marin Public Works
Association (MPWA) were presented with the applications received with the guidelines of each funding
sources at separate meetings. They heard from applicants and deliberated on the applications' merits. The
reconmiendations from the BPAC and MPWA are summarized in a comparison in Attachment C. Staff will
meet with non -applying member(s) of City Managers on July 27, 2016 to review staffs evaluation process.
Result of the meeting will be reported verbally at the July 28th TAM Board meeting.
The result of staff's evaluation and funding recommendations are shown in Attachment D. Staff made
efforts to incorporate as much as possible the recommendations from the BPAC and MPWA into the final
staff recommendations.
The below table sunmiarizes the recommended funding by categories if approved with no changes.
This table shows a recommended funding amount of $10,992,000, which is greater than the amount
available for programming mentioned above at $10,668,000. The difference of $324,000 is attributed to
two planning projects (San Anselmo's Hub Study and Ross' Bike Plan Update) that are recommended for
funding from the CMA planning and administrative set-aside funds. While MTC intended these foods for
CMA planning and administrative activities, the funds can also be programmed for planning projects.
TAM staff has determined that all CMA planning and administrative activities over the 5 -year period can be
accommodated with the proposed lesser amount of the CMA planning funds.
ADDlications Withdrawn From Consideration
Three applications were subsequently withdrawn by applicants from consideration. TAM withdrew Project
40 Richmond -San Rafael Bridge Approaches and Project 41 Marin County Safe Routes to School Program
Sustainment because they will be considered for other funding sources. Marin Transit withdrew Project 13
Transit Priority Improvements on Sir Francis Drake to coordinate with Marin County on the Sir Francis
Drake Major Road Project under Measure A.
FUNDING RECOMMENDATONS
As noted above, the summary of the prograrmming recommniendations for OBAG 2, local, TFCA, and TDA
is shown in Attachment D. Attachment D also includes the recommended funding for PCA applications.
While PCA funds were not included with this Call for Projects, it would be beneficial to see how all funds
were programmed.

Staff is recommending funding the projects ranked two to 12 with OBAG 2 and local fiords. In additions,
one application was recommended for funding with TFCA funds and three applications were recominiended
for TDA funds. Below are discussions on some of the applications.
Transuortation Funds for Clean Air (TFCA).
Staff is recommending programming the entire available amount of approximately $360,000 to Sausalito's
Gate 6 application. This recommendation is consistent with the BPAC and MPWA's recommendation.
The recommended TFCA amount was less than the requested amount. Both BPAC and MPWA provided a
second option if Sausalito declines the TFCA funds if other funds cannot be secured to complete the full
funding plan. Staff is also proposing to program $140,000 in local funds to fund the total project costs.
Therefore, the second options recommended by both groups would not need to be considered.
Transmo•tation Develoument Act (TDA)
Staff is recommending programming the TDA funds to three projects, with $100,000 to Corte Madera
Redwood Highway Path Repaving, $115,000 to Larkspur's Magnolia Avenue Crosswalk Improvements,
and the remaining amount of approximately $45,000 to Marin County's Bicycle Route Sign program.
The BPAC and MPWA have similar recommendations with the noted differences that MPWA
reconmrended $82,000 in TDA funds to Sausalito's Gate 6 application to alleviate the shortfall and a lesser
amount ($28,000) for Larkspur's Magnolia Avenue Crosswalk Improvements to only implement a
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) out the proposed project. Given that staff is recommending
local funds to fully fund the Sausalito's Gate 6 application, programming additional TDA funds to this
project is not necessary, leaving more funds to fully construct Larkspur's Magnolia Avenue Crosswalk
Improvements.
San Rafael Bettini Transit Center
When the Call for Projects was issued, there was no firm cotmnitment to program any funds from the Port
Sonoma $18.4 million earmark to the San Rafael Bettini Transit Center. On July 27, 2016, the MTC
Commission is scheduled to approve a recommendation to Caltrans and FHWA for $3.2 million of the Port
Sonoma earmark to be programmed for the Bellini Transit Center. The remainder of the earmark, $15.2
million, will be going towards the Marin Sonoma Narrows (MSN). Caltrans and FHWA will make a final
recommendation in the August - September timeframe.
The recommended $3.2 million is sufficient funding to construct an interim bus transit facility to
temporarily replace the lost bus bays at Bettini Transit Center when SMART extends to Larkspur. TAM
funds firm OBAG 2 in the amount of $1,500,000 would likely not be necessary for the interim bus facility
but could be used to start environmental and preliminary engineering along with public outreach on a new
facility.
If there are no plates to proceed on an interim bus transit facility but instead proceed to construct a
permanent new Bettim Transit Center, then the $3.2 million earmark funds is sufficient for preliminary
engineering and environmental clearance with necessary public outreach. TAM funds will not be necessary
for the transit center.
San Rafael's highest local priority is to complete the sidewalk upgrade along Francisco Boulevard East. The
total funds requested, reflecting a project cost to complete the improvements from Vivian Street to the
Grand Avenue Bridge, is $5.4 million. Since it will be difficult to dedicate such a large amount to a single
project, TAM worked with City of San Rafael staff to identify a portion of the project that could proceed
Making the Most of Marin County Transportation Dollars 83
TAM Board Meeting, Iter 10 Page 8 of 10
July 28, 2016
with a smaller amount of funds. It is not unusual to build such an extensive improvement in stages, as a
portion of the sidewalk was put into place from Bellam to Vivian in 2012, as part of the widening of the
Westbound 580 connector to Northbound 101 under the State's Proposition 1B Bond program. San Rafael
identified a usable sidewalk segment from Vivian to the south corner of Harbor Street, which can be built
for approximately $2.2 million.
The 2nd to Anderson Drive bike path along the SMART right-of-way is the top priority of MCBC. The cost
of the pathway at $2.3 million is partially offset by a commitment from MTC in late November 2015 of $1
million coming from MTC sources. This would reduce the TAM OBAG contribution to $1.3 million.
TAM staff is recommending dedicating $3.1 million to a combination of these three projects in the
Downtown San Rafael PDA, setting the fluids aside, and deferring a final decision until more is known
about securing the Port Sonoma earmark funds and determining if a temporary or permanent transit center
facility should proceed. If the Port Sonoma earmark dedication of $3.2 million is confirmed by FHWA and
Caltrans and applied to developing a permanent new Bettini Transit Center, then the $3.1 million would be
dedicated to East Francisco Blvd and/or the 2nd to Anderson bike path within the SMART right-of-way.
If the Port Sonoma Earmark is not confirmed, then the $1.5 million of TAM DRAG 2 funding for the
temporary or permanent Bettini Transit Center will serve as initial funding for either facility decision.
If tine Port Sonoma Earmark is confirmed, and no OBAG funds are needed to proceed with tine transit center
work, then, respecting the city's priority, and recognizing the critical needs of the Canal Neighborhood in
improving Francisco Blvd East, the $2.2 million requested by the City of San Rafael for a logical next
phase of the East Francisco corridor could be programmed. This would allow a significant segment of the
widened sidewallobike path along Francisco Blvd East to be built, which a priority project in the
Cominuunity Based Transportation Plan (CBT) conducted in concert with the Canal Neighborhood in 2008.
The Francisco Blvd East sidewalk is the only project not built from the Canal Neighborhood CBTP and it
remains a very high priority for the community.
The remainder of the funds, $800,000, could be applied to the 2nd to Anderson bike path, substantially
within the SMART right-of-way, with a $500,000 gap in funding that could be sought from other sources
and/or other agencies.
Novato SMART Station
Novato is requesting $2.9 nnillion for its new SMART station in Downtown Novato on Grant Avenue.
Novato approved the addition of a third SMART station in Novato, in January 2016, and has identified
funds totaling $2.5 million which has enabled SMART to construct all of the key components that must be
done now for SMART to operate north and south of that future station site. There remains a shortfall of
$2.9 million for the station to proceed.
The requested $2.9 million is a substantial amount of funds to dedicate to a single project; given that nearly
$50 mil in need has been identified for $10 mil in funding available. A substantial amount of the fiords are
required to be programmed to supporting Priority Development Areas, and Novato has not identified any
Priority Development Areas within its limits.
Staff is recommending that half the requested funds be programmed at $1.45 million

Corte Madera's Tanal Vista Blvd Corridor Bicycle and Pedestrian Imuroveuents
The Tanral Vista project was one of the highly regarded candidates by the TAM BPAC. The BPAC
recognized the project was very costly and did not fit into the smaller amounts of annual funds (TFCA and
TDA) TAM receives for bike/pedestrian improvements. The BPAC recommended it be considered for
OBAG 2 funds. TAM scored the project and its significance in terms of priority by Corte Madera, and its
usage as a critical link along the North South Greenway resulted in a strong score. It is right above the
cutoff for funding being available, and TAM staff did not have sufficient funds to meet the entire request.
However, TAM staff is reconnnending it be funded with non-federal funds, which should reduce the cost of
delivering the project, as local funds are much easier to use. Staff recommends $ 892,000 towards the
project.
Local Sheets and Roads (LSR) Reuuests
Since OBAG 2 did not include a set aside for local streets and roads projects, MPWA agreed among
themselves to submit applications in the amount of $2.639 million for LSR projects. If approved, the funds
would be distributed by a formula of 50% population and 50% lane miles.
Since the shares for the smaller jurisdictions were too small and impractical for federal fluids, Novato
agreed to exchange federal funds with local funds for all agencies except Marin County and San Rafael.
Novato would give the smaller agencies 75% in local funds for every dolls of federal funds received.
Marin County and San Rafael would apply for their own applications. The three applications that fall under
this arrangement are Novato's Nave Drive/Bel Marin Keys Blvd Resurfacing, Marin County's Sir Francis
Drake Rehabilitation in San Geronimo, and San Rafael's Street Resurfacing Program.
Staff is not recommending funding these projects because of the great demand from projects that are
immediately needed because of the start of SMART operations, projects that have regional significance, and
projects that are considered high priority for the County. Also, LSR projects get annual funding from TAM
and the State from of gas tax revenues. In June, TAM allocated approximately $5.7 million in Measures A
and B funds to LSR projects. LSR projects will continue to get funding from TAM and the State on an
annual basis, but the opportunity to fund some of the regionally significant projects will be lost after this
OBAG cycle because the next OBAG cycle will not take place until FY 22123 and the $3 million in local
funds is a rare -time funding source.
While staff's recommendations do not include the three applications, they do include $2.28 million for two
LSR projects. Staff is recommending $1.134 million for San Anselmo's SFD Pavement Rehabilitation and
Marin City CSD's Phillips Drive.
It should also be noted that under the Major Road category in Measure A, the West Planning Area still has
approximately $937,000 remaining after the Sir Francis Drake Blvd project near Samuel P. Taylor Park was
completed. The West Planning Area encompasses Marin County's application for SFD Blvd in San
Geronimo. While Marin County has plans to use the Measure A funds to rehabilitate SFD Blvd between
Lagunitas Road and Wild Iris Drive, Marin County can use the funds for the application submitted for
OBAG 2. It would be a trade-off but the remaining Measure A funds are available for either segment.
Marin Transit
TAM has been a supporter of Marin Transit's revitalized transit center in Novato at Redwood and Grant
through past dedication of funding. The project applied for Active Transportation Program funds from
MTC and was awarded fimding totaling approximately $1.3 million. In the MTC program review by the
Making the Most of Marin County Transportation Dollars 85
TAM Board Meeting, Item 10
Judy 28, 2016
Page 10 of 10
California Transportation Commission (CTC) and Caltrans, a lesser level of funds was recommended,
resulting in a shortfall of $311,000 in the funds needed for the capital construction of the project.
TAM staff is recommending $311,000 from local funds which will be available immediately to Marin
Transit for their capital construction needs.
In a letter dated May 16th, Marin Transit requested a total of $400,000 in funding from TAM for the
Redwood and Grant transit center. The additional funds above the ATP program shortfall are for support
costs on the project.
In Measure A Strategic Plan Update adopted on June 23, 2016, Marin Transit was credited with an
additional $1.8 million from Measure A that was previously unavailable to them. These were funds from
the very first year of the Measure A program that were left off of TAM's very first Strategic Plan due to
erroneous calculations. The funds are now newly available to Marin Transit.
TAM staff recommends that support cost increases for the Redwood and Grant transit center be funded
from the additional $1.8 million received by Marin transit for this coming fiscal year.
NEXT STEPS
1. Monitor the final decision on the Point Sonoma earmark repurposing and return to the TAM Board
on the final recommendations for the three projects contingent on this earmark repurposing.
2. Submit approved applications for OBAG 2 funds to MTC for approval,
3. Submit approved application(s) for TFCA funds to BAAQMD for approval.
4. Submit approved application(s) for TDA funds to MTC for approval.
5. Issue funding agreements for applications approved for local Rinds.

Bettini Transit Center
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• TAM approved OBAG1 cycle funds in November 2012 for
study of the relocation of C. Paul Bettini Transit Center.
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• Study was originally intended for permanent center
relocation, but urgency of SMART extension to Larkspur
necessitated temporary relocation also considered.
• Effort substantially complete, supplemented by San Rafael
funds.
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• Temporary facility is necessary, according to SMART, Marin
Transit, and Golden Gate
• San Rafael considering temporary facility, which requires City
action, requesting a schedule and funding plan that all parties
agree to for the permanent facility, to be fully constructed in 5
yea rs
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• Temp Transit Center- Port Sonoma Earmark, if approved by
FHWA and Caltrans, is for temporary facility, as confirmed by
Marin Transit, SMART and Golden Gate. MTC and Caltrans
have submitted earmark re -use request to FHWA- will have
final determination by week of September 12th from FHWA.
• The local letters of support for the Port Sonoma earmark, and
MTC and Caltrans actions, indicate $3.2M dedicated to the
construction of a Temporary Bettini Transit Center
improvements to accommodate bus and rail service until a
new transit center is developed.
Transportation Authority of Marin
..�
• There has been ongoing discussion regarding accelerating the
permanent facility, and not spending $3 or $4 or $5 mil on the
temporary facility.
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• No MOU yet between SMART and Golden Gate as required in
2005 right of way transfer agreement, which will spell out
who, what, and funding plan
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• SMART intends to start construction of train service to
Larkspur in Summer 2017.
• Agreement on Temporary Bettini Transit Center facilities
needs to be in place in the next 6 months, for SMART to meet
their schedule. Ideally, SMART wants agreement in November
— December 2016.

2nd to Andersen Multi -use Path
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• TAM approved funds in June 2015 to the County of Marin to
study the feasibility of a constrained section of SMART R/W
from 2nd Street to Rice Drive for amulti-use pathway.
• That study has been completed and presented to the San
Rafael City Council.
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• The study considered several options for constructing the
pathway, substantially within City San Rafael and SMART right
of way.
• Total cost not evaluated as part of the study.
— City application to TAM did not include retaining wall
features. Initial cost of $3.3M could increase.
• Cost estimate of $250,000 for environmental and preliminary
design to 30%.
— If SMART can construct at the same time as the SMART rail
work, less expensive and SMART plan for Design -Build
would require 30% design only to be completed.
— Title is clouded for some parcels and must be cleared up.
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ J&
Urgency
-The 2nd to Andersen Pathway ideally should be constructed at
the same time as the train. Construction very difficult if pathway
built after SMART train is operating.
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ IAL
East Francisco Boulevard
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• The East Francisco Boulevard sidewalk widening will continue
a project that constructed a portion of the path from Bellam
to Vivian, building a next phase, Vivian to Harbor
Transportation Authority of Marin -+ �
• East
Francisco
Boulevard is
only remaining priority project
from
the 2008
Community
Based Transportation Plan for the
Canal Neighborhood, approved by the City of San Rafael and
accepted by TAM.
• Members of the community were before TAM in July 2015
seeking funds for the Grand Avenue Bridge from TAM's
Lifeline program. They emphasized need for the entire
sidewalk to be improved.
Transportation Authority of Marin ..�
• There are substantial users from the Canal Neighborhood who
are reliant on the East Francisco path
• Use is well over 1000 daily users
TAM staff have been coordinating with the various project
sponsors to develop a recommendation that is good for all.
TAM staff recognize that immediate local funds are ideal in order
to get started on the permanent relocated Bettini Transit Center
environmental document
TAM staff also recognize that immediate local funds are ideal to
get started on the environmental document and the preliminary
engineering, including identification of right of way needs and a
revised cost estimate for the 2nd to Andersen Drive Multi -use
path
