The monies being allocated will be appropriated as part of the FY 2013/14 budget. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION On September 30, 1990, the State Legislature authorized the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to impose an additional motor vehicle registration fee of two dollars ($2) per vehicle to finance the implementation of transportation measures embodied in the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and provisions of the California Clean Air Act. Commencing in Fiscal Year 1991-1992, subvention disbursements were made available to cities and agencies. Forty percent of the funds collected from the Department of Motor Vehicle registration fees are returned to local governments for local vehicle emission reduction programs. AB 2766 turn-back funds must be used solely to reduce pollution from motor vehicles and for related planning, monitoring, enforcement, and technical studies necessary for the implementation of state and regional clean air goals. In past years, the City of Tustin has used AB 2766 funds to offset the costs associated with the following air emission reduction programs: FY 1991-92 Project Vehicle conversion to propane FY 1992-93 Project No programs funded FY 1993-94 Projects Commuter Rail Station • Partial funding of Air Quality Element of the General Plan • Personnel costs for administration FY 1994-95 Projects Commuter Rail Station • Personnel costs for administration • Training/Save Our Air Rideshare (SOAR) Program incentives FY 1995-96 Projects Commuter Rail Station • Personnel costs for administration • Training/SOAR Program incentives FY 1996-97 Projects Commuter Rail Station • SOAR Program Costs • SOAR Compensation Pay • Computer Software City Council Report Project Funding for AB 2766 Program March 19, 2013 Page 3 FY 1997-98 Projects Commuter Rail Station • SOAR Compensation Pay FY 1998-99 Projects Commuter Rail Station • SOAR Compensation Pay FY 1999-00 Projects Commuter Rail Station • Air Quality Technical Assistance FY 2000-01 Projects Commuter Rail Station • Air Quality Technical Assistance FY 2001-02 Project 0 Commuter Rail Station FY 2002-03 Project 0 Commuter Rail Station FY 2003-04 Project Commuter Rail Station FY 2004-05 Projects Pedestrian Enhancement Project (Red Hill) Alternative Fuel Street Sweepers Commuter Rail Station FY 2005-06 Projects Pedestrian Enhancement Project (Red Hill) Pedestrian Enhancement Project (First St) FY 2006-07 Project 0 Traffic Signalization Project (Park Avenue) FY 2007-08 Project Traffic Signalization Project (Warner Avenue) FY 2008-09 Project Alternative Fuel Street Sweeper (portion — proposed to be combined with 09-10 allocation) FY 2009-10 Project Alternative Fuel Street Sweeper (portion — proposed to be combined with 08-09 allocation) FY 2010-11 Project 0 Rail Station Parking Structure Maintenance FY 2011-12 Project 0 Rail Station Parking Structure Maintenance I RAIL STATION PARKING STRUCTURE MAINTENANCE — The annual maintenance cost for the rail station parking structure is estimated to be $32,000 per year. State law allows AB 2766 funds to be used to fund the maintenance of parking structures that facilitate the use of transit or ridesharing. Staff recommends that a total of $32,000 in AB 2766 Fiscal Year 2012- City Council Report Project Funding for AB 2766 Program March 19, 2013 Page 4 2013 turn-back funds and/or carryover funds be used to fund the maintenance cost of the rail station parking structure in 2012/13. ENDERLE CENTER DRIVE - VANDENBERG LANE INTERSECTION ENHANCEMENTS — The total cost of the intersection enhancements is estimated to be about $120,000. This project will improve pedestrian safety and calm traffic at the subject intersection. Staff recommends that $50,000 in AB 2766 Fiscal Year 2012-2013 turn-back funds and/or carryover funds be allocated to the Enderle Center Drive — Vandenberg Lane Intersection Enhancements Project. NEWPORT AVENUE BICYCLE TRAIL RECONSTRUCTION — The total cost of the bicycle trail improvements is approximately $475,000. The project consists of the construction of a concrete bicycle trail, sidewalk, tree wells, irrigation/landscaping, ADA ramps, and striping, which will encourage the use of bicycles and decrease single commuter vehicle trips and miles traveled. Staff recommends that $75,000 in AB 2766 Fiscal Year 2012-2013 turn-back funds and/or carryover funds be allocated to the Newport Avenue Bicycle Trail Reconstruction project between Main Street and Irvine Boulevard. SIGNAL COORDINATION - The annual maintenance cost for citywide traffic signal coordination is estimated to be $270,000 per year. The on-going maintenance of signal coordination improves traffic loads and levels of service, reduces travel time, traffic congestion, and mobile source emissions throughout the city. Staff recommends that $15,000 in AB 2766 Fiscal Year 2012-2013 turn-back funds and/or carryover funds be allocated to fund a portion of these costs.
