The State Controller deposits various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of this new RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, cities and counties must submit to the California Transportation Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds. The proposed action adopts Resolution No. 2023-C26 identifying the projects the City will fund with its apportionment of 2023-2024 RMRA funds. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions: 1)Adopt Resolution No. 2023-C26 identifying the projects the City will fund with its apportionment of 2023-2024 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account. 2)Authorize staff to carryover existing RMRA funds from the 2022 & 2023 Residential Roadway Rehabilitation Project to 2023-24 Fiscal Year budget and CalSMART system. Approved City Council June 5, 2023 Projects to be Funded with 2023-2024 RMRA Funds June 5, 2023 Page 2 ANALYSIS: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 was created by Senate Bill 1, approved by a two-thirds majority of the Legislature, and signed by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. on April 28, 2017. The new law provides a new and much needed infusion of money to maintain and rehabilitate the state highway and local streets system. It is projected to raise a total of $54 billion over the next ten years, divided between state and local governments. Caltrans and other state agencies are due to receive roughly half of that amount, $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies, and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. The funds will be generated by a combination of higher gas and diesel taxes at the pump, new road improvements fess assessed on vehicles at the time of registration, and a special fee on zero-emission vehicles. The State Controller deposits various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account. A percentage of the funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code. The City is projected to receive approximately $1,200,000 in Fiscal Year 2023-2024. Prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds from the State Controller in a fiscal year, cities and counties must submit to the California Transportation Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds.
