T'IZANSPORTATI®N VISI®N Through a public process involving the cities, Sonoma County, Caltrans and members of the public, the Sonoma County Transportation Authority has developed a transportation strategy for our county. The key components include: • Maintain and expand our existing transportation system: o Widen Highway 101, o Improve interchanges, o Fix potholes and maintain local. streets and roads, o Relieve traffic congestion on ke~T corridors, o Establish a passenger rail system, o Expand the local bus system, anal o Build safe bike and pedestrian routes • Make the transportation system easy to use with efficient connections between buses, the future passenger rail service, the freeway, and local roads and bike routes. • Use local money to become a "self-help" county a.-~?d leverage state and federal funding for transportation needs. • Enhance safety in all aspects of the transportation system. • Improve the mobility of all residents, especially seniors and people with disabilities. • Help meet the unique local transportation needs of each community in Sonoma County. These broad themes have been translated into specific programs and projects to create the Traffic Congestion Relief Act for Sonoma County. 3 Resolution 2004-1 17 N.C.S. II. EXPENDITURE PLAN SUMMARY Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County The Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County provides for investment in three program categories. Each program category ~nTill receive a percentage share of sales tax revenues, currently estimated at $470 million (in 2004 dollars) over a 20-year period. Program CategorX Percent Share 20-Year Estimated Revenue 1. Local Streets 8: Roads 40% $188 Million 2. Highway 101 40% $188 Million 3. Transit, Passenger Rail, Bikes 19% $ 89 Million One percent of t11e revenue is allocated for administration, project management and audits. Detail on the specific projects ~n~ithin each program category is provided in the Project Description section of this document. A summary chart with projects and. programs is attaclled to this plan as Appendix A. Oversi.~ht and Adrninistration The implementation of the Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County will be the responsibility of the Sonoma County Transportation Authority. The SCTA is composed of twelve elected officials: a representative from each of the nine cities in Sonoma County and three members of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. The SCTA will be responsible for developing and updating a strategic plan to guide allocation decisions and project delivery. The SCTA will develop the initial strategic plan by July 1, 2005, and prepare and update it at least every five years during the term of the plan. The Citizens Advisory Committee established under the original ordinance that created the SCTA will serve as an independent oversight body that will advise the SCTA on the administration of the Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County aizd report to the public via annual audits of the Act. The SCTA will work closely and cooperatively with the California. Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) on programming state and federal grants to match funding from the Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County for programs and projects. These partnerships will help to maximize the state and federal funds that can be leveraged with a local source of funds and to deliver projects in a timely manner. 4 Resolution 2004-1 17 N.C.S. III. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The programs and projects contained in the Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County are based upon the 2004 Comprehensive Transportation Plan developed by the Sonoma County Transportation Authority. The 2004 Comprehensive Transportation Plan identifies goals related to the movement of people and goods through the improvement and maintenance of all modes of transportation. These goals are further supported by specific objectives for different geographic areas of the County. These goals and objectives are reflective of public feedback heard in workshops and at outreach events throughout the county. Taken together, these goals and objectives create the strateg~~ through ~Nhich .Sonoma County can shape its transportation future. A complete list of the goals and objectives is attached to this plan as Appendix B. IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS The Traffic Relief Act for Sonoma County has three program categories that have been divided into specific projects. The expenditure plan calls for a specific percentage of revenue to be allocated to each of the categories and the funding then distributed to the proposed list of projects.
