The Strategic Plan recommended by the Working Group would distribute funding to each of the 18 cities and the County to conduct Census outreach. The methodology used to determine the funding level for each jurisdiction includes a $1,000 minimum and is based on each jurisdiction’s proportion of the region’s hard-to-count populations. Funding can be used for the following outreach purposes: special events, leasing equipment for kiosks, targeted advertising, and assistance from community-based agencies (Attachment 3).
As part of its review of the Strategic Plan, the Working Group focused on the importance of collaboration between SANDAG, state, federal, and local efforts to reach populations that are hard to count and the need to locate assistance centers within hard to count communities. Requests also were made to ensure there is sufficient time in the funding process for the jurisdictions to design their outreach programs and flexibility in the contracting process to allow jurisdictions to work within their respective structures.
Next Steps
Pending approval of the Strategic Plan, the jurisdictions will have approximately three weeks to submit proposed implementation plans. Funds will be distributed based on approved deliverables through September 2020.

2020 Census Complete Count Stakeholder Working Group Charter
Working Group Charter Purpose
The purpose of the 2020 Census Complete Count Stakeholder Working Group (Working Group) is to involve community leaders throughout the San Diego region in developing a strategic plan and implementation plan for how the county-allocated funds provided by the California Complete Count Census 2020 Office (through SANDAG Contract 5005761) will be used to best encourage all people to respond to the 2020 census, particularly those who have historically been difficult to count.
Line of Reporting
The Working Group will provide one or more progress reports on its efforts to the SANDAG Board of Directors.
Responsibilities
Oversee the development and execution of the strategic plan, which is the framework for the 2020 Census Complete Count outreach efforts in the San Diego region, and the implementation plan, which will further refine the action steps necessary to execute the strategic plan. These plans include allocation of the available funding across various outreach activities.
Membership
Each SANDAG subregion, as well as the City of San Diego and the County of San Diego, shall have a voting representative on the Working Group. The primary member of that subregion on the SANDAG Executive Committee shall appoint an elected official or staff member from one of the member agencies within that subregion, as well as one or more alternates, to represent the subregion as a voting member on the Working Group. Additional nonvoting advisory members may be added at the discretion of the Working Group Chair to foster input from other public agencies, the business community, the education community, and community-based organizations.
Selection of Chair
The voting members shall elect a Chair of the Working Group from among themselves. The Working Group chair may appoint a Vice Chair as needed to help manage the group’s workload and responsibilities.
Meeting Time and Location
The Working Group will meet at SANDAG as frequently as needed to achieve its responsibilities as determined by the Chair.
Duration of Existence
The work of the Working Group will conclude by December 2020 when the agreement with the California Complete Count Census 2020 Office expires.

Motivate (January - February 2020): In early 2020, outreach will focus on motivating participation in the Census
overall and particularly in HTC communities and may include the following. These activities will be closely coordinated
with the ACBO to ensure cohesive messaging and avoid duplication.
Continue amplifying the message and teaching students about the Census, as described in the education phase.
Include alerts and reminders in public agency notices, mailers, inserts, utility and other bills, signage, newsletters,
website pages (including link to the Count Me 2020 website and the Census 2020 home page), social media3, etc.
This strategy is intended to reach all residents, including HTC populations.
Targeted efforts by libraries among HTC populations to encourage 2020 Census participation as part of their regular
operations.
Use postage meters to stamp Census messages on outgoing public agency mail.
Hold special events and town halls focusing on the 2020 Census. The budget includes funds to support these events
held exclusively for Census outreach, including incentives to increase attendance (e.g., refreshments, promotional
materials, activities for kids, items to create a fun and inviting atmosphere, etc.).
Hold events at affordable housing properties. The budget includes funds to support these events.
Activate (March – April 2020): As Census postcards are scheduled to arrive from the U.S. Census Bureau in
March 20204, the activation phase will focus on self-response. Similar to the motivation phase, these activities will be
closely coordinated with the ACBO and may include the following.
Hold ceremonial kick-off and media event to publicize the delivery of Census materials. The budget includes funds to
support these kick-off events (including incentives to increase attendance), which will be held in collaboration with
the Count Me 2020 Coalition.
Have a “Census Marathon” on public access stations or via social media channels (e.g., live Twitter chat on the
Count Me 2020 webpages) where people can call in or comment with questions about the Census and get help
filling out their form. The budget includes funds to support these events (including incentives to increase
participation), which will be held in collaboration with the Count Me 2020 Coalition.
Connect youth groups with seniors to complete the Census.
Continue amplifying the message as described in the education phase.
Utilize existing public internet access points as questionnaire assistance kiosks at locations such as libraries,
affordable housing community centers, schools, community recreation centers/parks, senior centers, or other
community hubs. Auto launch these devices to the Census webpage for survey completion. The U.S. Census Bureau
will provide training to staff at these locations to provide assistance in filling out the Census.
Augment availability of internet access (e.g., at libraries, affordable housing community centers, schools, community
recreation centers/parks, senior centers, or other community hubs) by leasing additional devices dedicated to Census
completion in specific HTC locations. The budget includes funds to support equipment leasing.
Establish and staff questionnaire assistance centers/kiosks (including mobile) in areas where no public internet access
points are available and personal broadband internet access does not already exist (e.g., libraries, resource centers
available through schools, churches, senior centers, etc.). The budget includes funds to support equipment leasing.
Hold “Fill Out the Census” events at questionnaire assistance centers/kiosks, at schools using computer banks, and
using computer work rooms in affordable housing units, senior centers, LGBTQ centers, etc. The budget includes
funds to support these activities (including incentives to increase participation), which will be held in collaboration
with the Count Me 2020 Coalition.
3 Social media includes Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and NextDoor. 4 Consider timing of the primary election (March 3) when scheduling events and other outreach.
10
6
Publicize the Census Bureau’s toll-free Census Help Line for questionnaire assistance.
Coordinate with Count Me 2020 to establish a help desk system to answer Census-related questions, assist in
Census completion, and handle misinformation. One option under consideration is to develop a Memorandum of
Understanding between the United Way and 211 San Diego. The Partnership Specialist from the U.S. Census Bureau
would provide training to 211 staff. Another idea is to leverage the statewide contract with CommunityConnect
Labs for tools like the Help Desk, Misinformation Reporter, and Community Motivator.
Support phone banking and door-to-door outreach efforts by CBOs through an “Adopt a Block” program (similar to
the program in Los Angeles County). The budget includes funds to support these efforts.
Develop a Public-Private Partnership to provide mobile WiFi hot spots for outreach at community events or door-to-
door efforts, to facilitate Census participation outside of existing public internet access points.
Encourage local elected officials, influencers, and other prominent community members to share information about
the Census through social media, promoting participation.
Conduct a hyper-focused advertising campaign to reach people in HTC areas through outdoor and digital
advertising, and through advertising in print publications whose audiences include hard to count populations.
Conduct an earned media campaign (i.e., soliciting media coverage outside of a traditional advertising buy through
media events, press releases, etc.) to share details about how to participate in the Census.
Explore running videos about the Census on iTV, the SDCOE-operated television channel.
Non-Response Follow-Up (May – July 2020): The Activate Phase concludes with non-response follow-up, which may
include the following.
Inform law enforcement, emergency response and dispatch services, including 211 San Diego, about enumerators
(i.e., census takers) going door-to-door to follow-up on non-respondents so they can be prepared to handle calls
from the community that may arise during this time.
Hold press conferences with influential leaders to alert the community that the Census Bureau enumerators, or
Census takers, will visit homes of persons who have not responded. Key community stakeholders will be included to
provide linguistically appropriate messaging for HTC communities.
Show how enumerators, or Census takers, can be identified and encourage participation through agency and
department notices, mailers, inserts, utility and other bills, signage, newsletters, websites, and social media.
Assist Census Bureau staff in identifying tenant and homeowner representatives who can facilitate access to gated
and high security areas.
In areas where response rates remain low following the initial enumeration period:
o Collaborate with the Count Me 2020 Coalition to host events. The budget includes funds to support these
events (including incentives to increase participation), which will be held in collaboration with the Count Me
2020 Coalition.
o Redeploy previously acquired questionnaire assistance centers/kiosk resources to areas with low response rates if
not already in place.

1.3 Partnership Coordination
The outreach strategy will be guided by the 2020 Complete Count Census Stakeholder Working Group5 to avoid
duplication and ensure any gaps are addressed. The proposed structure is shown in Figure 1. One group will be
convened by SANDAG with representation from the jurisdictions, elected officials, business community, educators, health
and human services, and the media. The ACBO will convene another group that will focus on the community agencies
working directly with groups that can be hard to count. SANDAG and the ACBO will participate in both groups, as will
the US Census Bureau Partnership Specialists and the California Complete Count Office Regional Program Manager. The
red arrow at the top of Figure 1 signifies the close collaboration between the effort led by SANDAG and the one through
the ACBO.

Subcommittees will help to ensure that all stakeholders are represented, and all perspectives are incorporated. Potential
subcommittees are listed in Figure 2. SANDAG will take the lead by convening subcommittees related to outreach
through the region’s transportation agencies (i.e., MTS and NCTD), the existing SANDAG CBO group, Native Americans
and tribal governments, and hard to count communities in the unincorporated/rural area. The ACBO has active working
groups to: 1) support the execution of the strategic plan, including in Imperial County, 2) work alongside philanthropy to
identify additional funding sources to supplement the work, and 3) investigate opportunities to serve as the help desk
and information hub. Both organizations will have subcommittees (many of which could be joint working groups) that
focus on the strategic plan, implementation, media and events, language access, recruitment, assistance centers and
kiosks, non-response follow-up, and volunteers.

1.4 Resources and Infrastructure
As required by the State, this section describes the use of the Statewide Outreach and Rapid Deployment (SwORD)
mapping portal and location of questionnaire assistance centers/kiosks.
SANDAG will be the primary designee to interface with SwORD. SANDAG will work with all partners to maintain
updated information in the system so that all outreach efforts are entered in SwORD in a timely manner. To facilitate this
process, all contracts for funding will require SwORD data entry.

Appendix B:
Media Strategy
A media subcommittee will be formed, led by the Count Me 2020 Coalition and SANDAG, to coordinate development of
a robust earned and paid media campaign. Messaging will emphasize the importance of the Census and confidentiality
to assure people that it is safe to participate. Message and brand consistency will help improve recall rates, encourage
participation, and maximize the value of advertising investment. To measure the impact of media strategies, specific
goals/targets will be established (e.g., number of impressions, click-thru rates on digital advertising, and website analytics
such as page views).
The budget includes funds for SANDAG to contract with a marketing firm in conjunction with the Count Me 2020
Coalition to develop the branding, messaging, and outreach campaign, including message testing for HTC populations
(to augment the statewide outreach and public relations campaign).
The public information and public affairs officers from each jurisdiction will be asked to participate on the media
subcommittee to facilitate amplification of messages through local government channels. For example, messages from
the U.S. Census Bureau, the California Complete Count Office, and the Count Me 2020 Coalition will be broadcast
through city communication channels (e.g., newsletters, events, website pages, signage, social media, email blasts, etc.).
In addition, representatives from the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District (NCTD), the
two local transit agencies, will be included in the CCC Stakeholder Working Group to coordinate publicity on transit
vehicles and through their newsletters and social media.
Messaging to people using streaming services is being researched. Telecommunications companies may be approached
for public service announcements, as well as mobile applications and radio outlets. Since the Major League Baseball
season begins simultaneously with the Census, the San Diego Padres may similarly be approached for public service
announcements (e.g., create a video of the Padres’ mascot completing a Census survey).
Stories from local residents may be collected for media spots. For example, a young man was interviewed on
April 1, 2019 as part of the 2020 Census Call to Action, and shared that his parents did not participate in 2010 and
indicated his commitment to outreach so his community is counted.
The regional effort will leverage and coordinate with the statewide media campaign and may include the following.
Public service announcements, airport marketing, and highway communications.
Media buys (March through June 2020):
o Outdoor: Gas pump toppers, bus placards, bus wraps, bus shelter/bench ads, billboards, etc. in HTC communities
o Print: Local ethnic media outlets specializing in HTC populations
o Digital: Geo-targeted, social media, pre-roll video
o Radio: Peak hour traffic announcements and segments
Census 2020 messages shown along with other advertisements that precede movies (in theaters within hard to
count areas in multiple languages).
Produce Census educational/motivational videos (using U.S. Census Bureau videos, material from the California
Census Office, and locally produced spots) shown on social media, digital advertising, public access television, and in
waiting areas in health care facilities, employment centers, and other areas that people spend time waiting.
Giveaways at events in HTC neighborhoods. Careful consideration will be made in choosing the specific giveaways to
ensure that they resonate with the intended audience.
27
23
Promotional materials: Signs/posters and fliers in different languages8. The budget includes funds to cover the costs
of producing promotional materials.
Messaging to reach transit specific users (e.g., Flex services, ADA paratransit, etc.).
Earned media:
o Community leaders will be invited to serve as spokespeople to appear on radio/TV talk shows to discuss subjects
such as confidentiality and the benefits of the Census to individuals and their communities.
o Local sports and entertainment personalities appearances on radio/TV stations and social media urging quick
response.
o Press releases and media events to share information about major Census 2020 milestones and activities.
All messages will meet the following requirements:
Immediately relevant
Consistent
Simple language
Pictures used to convey information whenever possible
Clear messaging (i.e., clear call to action and individual next steps)
Personal touch included
Proper translation, culturally relevant, and accommodates disabilities
Cognizant and appropriate for individuals with disabilities
Mandatory response stated
8 Translations will be vetted with organizations serving specific communities to ensure that they are culturally relevant.

Board of Directors July 26, 2019
Approval of Contract Awards
Overview
Pursuant to direction from the Board of Directors, construction awards valued at $5 million or more require Board approval.
Key Considerations
In May 2019, SANDAG advertised an invitation for bids (IFB) to seek qualified firms to provide on-call general civil services that consist primarily of, but not limited to, general civil and site improvements, earthwork, utilities, paving, concrete, drainage, building facilities, landscaping mitigation, site clearing and all required incidental professional and technical services for SANDAG and its member agencies, Caltrans, Metropolitan Transit System, and North County Transit District at locations throughout San Diego County.
Four bids were received, and staff proposes to award PUB Construction, Inc., the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, an agreement for Job Order Contract – General Civil Construction with a maximum capacity of $6 million. Considerations in developing the independent cost estimate of needed capacity include historical use of contractors to provide these services and staff knowledge of future needs to support the job order construction needs of the agency.
In April 2019, SANDAG issued an IFB to seek qualified contractors that could construct the North Park Mid-City: Landis and Georgia-Meade Bikeway Project. As required by SANDAG Board Policy No. 024: Procurement and Contracting – Construction as well as federal provisions, an independent cost estimate resulting in $15,186,026.49 was prepared by SANDAG for the project. The project consists of constructing bikeways in the City of San Diego along Landis Street between Alabama Street and Chamoune Avenue, as well as Georgia Street between Robinson Avenue and Howard Avenue. The scope of the work includes buffered bike lanes, neighborhood traffic circles, raised crosswalks, signal modification, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant ramps, curb extensions, road lumps, and other traffic calming measures linked to signage and striping. Two bids were received as a result of the IFB. SANDAG staff proposes to award West Coast General Group, a Joint Venture, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, a construction agreement for the project in the amount of $16,489,746.66. The award amount is within ten percent of the estimate and sufficient budget exists in the project budget.
Next Steps
Upon approval by the Board of Directors, agreements will be sent to the contractors for signature.
The Board of Directors is asked to authorize the Executive Director to execute contract awards for Job Order Contract – General Civil Construction, and the North Park/Mid-City: Landis and Georgia-Meade Bikeways project.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for the proposed construction awards is included in the FY 2020 Program Budget through Capital Improvement Program Project No. 1223082; Overall Work Program Elements Nos. 1210030, 3312100, 1201507, 1200201; Bike Program Capital Improvement Program projects; and other projects as needed.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
The Job Order Contract agreement will provide construction services from 2019 through 2022. The Landis and Georgia-Meade Bikeways project will take approximately 550 working days to complete.

Amendment Title: Update of SANDAG's Cross Border Model
The objective of this work element is to update SANDAG's Cross Border Model using a 2020 Cross Border Survey to ensure regional planning processes can rely on quantitative analysis tools adequate for border policy, investment, and travel behavioral challenges. The updated Cross Border Model will be a key component of SANDAG's third generation of Activity-Based Model (ABM3), designed for applications in the San Diego Forward: The 2025 Regional Plan. Emphasis in FY 2020 will be on developing scope of work, model structural design, survey data processing, and software implementation.
PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
This is a new work element funded by the Caltrans Planning Grant. SANDAG has an existing Cross Border Model developed from a 2010 cross border survey. In FY 2020 OWP 2301100, a new cross border travel behavior survey is included, which will be used to update the Cross Border Model.
JUSTIFICATION SANDAG is required by state and federal law to maintain a transportation modeling system that addresses regional planning needs. One of the unique travel demand markets in San Diego are Mexican residents who cross the U.S-Mexican border and make trips in San Diego. Modeling travel behaviors and evaluating Mexican residents' travel demand impact on San Diego's transportation systems is critical for border investment, operation, and environmental decision-making process, one of SANDAG's core functions.

WORK ELEMENT: 3101501 NEW-San Diego Airport Transit Corridor Study
FY 2020 BUDGET: $517,454
AREA OF EMPHASIS: Sustainable Development: Planning and Funding Strategies
Amendment Title: Caltrans Strategic Partnerships Grant - San Diego Airport Transit Corridor Study
The objective of the San Diego Airport Transit Corridor Study will create a regional, long-term transit vision for the two critical transportation corridors that service the San Diego International Airport (SDIA); Harbor Drive and Pacific Highway; through the lens of comprehensive multi-modal corridor plans. Utilizing project recommendations from SANDAG's newly formed Airport Steering Committee coupled with CTC-approved corridor planning guidelines, this study will actively engage regional stakeholders, including the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, Port of San Diego, City of San Diego, County of San Diego, MTS, and Coastal Commission, to identify a shared vision and implementation strategy for transit projects to SDIA that will compete competitively for various federal, state, and local discretionary funds.
PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
SANDAG and its partner agencies have completed numerous planning studies which were analyzed and discussed at various inter-agency team meetings as well as several Airport Steering Committee meetings. Additionally, SANDAG submitted a Request for Information to the Department of the Navy for information related to further development of the NAVWAR site to include transportation projects to the SDIA. Additionally, SANDAG released a RFI for Airport Connectivity Concepts and the proposals were analyzed by an expert review panel for consideration into further planning. Several land use concepts have been presented, sites narrowed for further study, and now modeling work has begun to inform staff and the Airport Steering Committee on identifying a shared vision and implementation strategy.
JUSTIFICATION With direction from the SANDAG Board of Directors and its newly formed Airport Steering Committee, SANDAG has committed to be the lead agency for the collaborative effort between the Port of San Diego, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, the City of San Diego, the two transit operators, as well as other stakeholders to continue its work assessing and evaluating concepts for further planning and design.

Public Transportation Account - Adaptation Planning Grant
The objective of this grant-funded work element is to support SANDAG member agencies that are transitioning from planning to implementation of their climate planning work. In addition, this work element will help jurisdictions identify synergies among existing local, regional, and state mitigation, transportation, and adaptation policies, plans, and projects to maximize co-benefits and investment efficiencies. The major project deliverables include: (1) a methodology to help local jurisdictions prioritize adaptation strategies (Comprehensive Prioritization Tool);(2) a regional economic guidance document; (3) a guidance document for integrating equity into adaptation andtransportation resilience planning; and, (4) an adaptation implementation toolkit that incorporates previously-funded Senate Bill 1 grants to help jurisdictions build capacity to implement strategies that will provide theircommunities the most co-benefits.
Emphasis in FY 2020 will be on consultant procurement, beginning preparation of the regional economic guidance document, performing a review of existing equity indicators and local and regional climate and transportation planning documents, and beginning development of an engagement strategy to involve new partners and stakeholders.
Attachment 4
10
PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
This new work element would leverage results from related SANDAG initiatives. With previously awarded SB 1 funding, SANDAG is currently developing a Regional Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Guidance Document and a Regional Adaptation Needs Assessment. In addition, the SANDAG Roadmap Program has provided technical assistance and regional guidance to local jurisdictions for the development, implementation, and monitoring of Climate Action Plans. This project will leverage these previous and current adaptation and mitigation efforts to support member agencies in prioritizing implementation of adaptation strategies that link mitigation, adaptation, and broader community benefits. JUSTIFICATION The San Diego region has made strides in achieving climate change mitigation goals through local Climate Action Plans (CAPs), with 18 of the region’s 19 jurisdictions either developing, updating, or adopting CAPs that focus on climate mitigation. However, planning for climate change adaptation in the region is still relatively nascent, and is often conducted in a silo separate from more advanced climate action planning. There are numerous opportunities to leverage existing CAP efforts to rapidly advance our local and regional capacity to adapt to and prepare for climate impacts that affect our regional transportation infrastructure and communities, while simultaneously addressing mitigation priorities. However, jurisdictions need tools and guidance on how to holistically implement local climate strategies before large investments are made without full consideration of synergies among transportation, mitigation, and adaptation efforts. This project will build on SANDAG’s previous SB 1-funded adaptation work and Roadmap Program activities to provide member agencies with tangible guidance on how to prioritize identified climate risks and adaptation needs.

Attachment 5
PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
This project was identified by the Jamul Indian Village of California and local stakeholders through the Intraregional Tribal Transportation Strategy (ITTS). It builds upon previous community engagement efforts made by the ITTS and the County Trails Master Plan. JUSTIFICATION The 2018 Intraregional Tribal Transportation Strategy (ITTS) identified SR 94 as a major commuter facility that provides access into and out of the Jamul Indian Village (Jamul). As a result of community input, SR 94 has been identified as a corridor that should provide increased mobility options. SR 94 serves as the only access to and from the reservation, which is one of the largest employment centers within the project area. With the newly completed gaming facility, there is an increase in vehicles along SR 94 due to visitors and employees coming to the site. However, the only existing method to and from the reservation is by driving or taking transit. To provide mobility options for employees and tribal members of the reservation. The study will address a missing active transportation link for the entire community as there are no existing bike or pedestrian facilities along SR 94 today.

FY 2020 SANDAG Financial and Compliance Audit
Overview
Board Policy No. 039: Audit Policy Advisory Committee and Audit Activities, authorizes the Audit Committee to recommend to the Board of Directors which firm to contract with to conduct the annual financial statement audit. To keep the FY 2018 interim audit on schedule, however, a procurement to select an audit firm was necessary prior to the formation of the Audit Committee. This procurement resulted in the execution of a five-year on-call contract with the independent audit firm Crowe LLP. The auditor has completed the FY 2018 audit and has commenced work on the FY 2019 audit.
Key Considerations
The Crowe LLP five-year on-call contract provides the Board of Directors the option to either continue with Crowe LLP each fiscal year or issue a new task order for auditing services. The standard timing for Audit Committee review and Board approval would be approximately one year prior to fiscal year end to account for the option of a new procurement. For the FY 2019 audit, that decision would have been in early FY 2019, around the time the auditor was completing the interim phase of the FY 2018 financial and compliance audit. To keep the FY 2019 interim audit on schedule, the agreement for year two was executed in May 2019.
Annual review and approvals have been scheduled in all future May meetings to provide the opportunity for the Audit Committee and Board to review options and make a decision in accordance with Board Policy No. 039.
At its July 12, 2019, meeting, the Audit Committee reviewed options for the FY 2020 SANDAG Financial and Compliance Audit and recommended the Board of Directors continue with Crowe LLP for the FY 2020 audit.
Next Steps
Crowe LLP is scheduled to present the Statement on Auditing Standards 114, which is a required communication, to the Audit Committee at its August 9, 2019, meeting.
Hasan Ikhrata, Executive Director
Key Staff Contact: Lisa Kondrat-Dauphin, (619) 699-1942, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
The Crowe LLP agreement annual cost was negotiated at the time of procurement. The $227,920 annual cost is funded from federal, state, TransNet, toll, member assessment, and other revenues.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
With approval, the FY 2020 audit will commence May 2020.
Action: Approve
The Audit Committee recommends that the Board of Directors exercise the option under the existing agreement with Crowe LLP to conduct the FY 2020 SANDAG Financial and Compliance Audit.

Board of Directors July 26, 2019
Requested Time Extensions: TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program and TransNet Active Transportation Program Climate Action Plan Requirement
Overview
In October 2018, the Board of Directors awarded $2.5 million to the City of Lemon Grove in TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) funds for its Connect Main Street project and $306,999 to the City of Santee in TransNet Active Transportation Grant Program (ATGP) funds for its Prospect Avenue and Mesa Road Improvements project. The SGIP and ATGP grants require that a Climate Action Plan (CAP) be adopted by the jurisdiction within one year of the Board of Directors’ approval of the grant. Failure to do so could result in funding being awarded to the next eligible project(s) in ranked order.
Due to various constraints, the City of Santee and the City of Lemon Grove are unable to complete their CAPs by the one-year deadline and are at risk of losing funding for their SGIP and ATGP projects.
Key Considerations
In December 2017, the Board of Directors approved the requirement that a local jurisdiction must have an adopted CAP to be eligible to receive SGIP and ATGP funding. The intention of the CAP requirement in the SGIP and ATGP call for projects is based on commitments made in San Diego Forward: The 2015 Regional Plan to implement climate action planning in the San Diego region.
In May 2018, the City of Lemon Grove completed the Broadway Downtown Village Specific Expansion which was funded with a prior SGIP planning grant. The prior project identified needed improvements that support new planned land uses that will revitalize downtown Lemon Grove. Funding for the Connect Main Street project, which is the current SGIP project subject to the CAP adoption requirement, will implement the improvements identified in the Downtown Village Specific Plan by providing for vibrant, pedestrian-friendly, and transit-oriented neighborhoods. These elements further the goals of the SGIP grant program.
The City of Santee’s Prospect Avenue and Mesa Road ATGP project will modify a downtown intersection and improve visibility, reduce pedestrian crossing distance, add a bicycle connection, and improve safety at an existing school crossing.
Fiscal Impact:
If the time extension is approved by the Board of Directors, the City of Lemon Grove would remain eligible to receive its $2.5 million Smart Growth Incentive Program award for the Connect Main Street project and the City of Santee would be eligible to receive its $303,999 Active Transportation Grant Program award.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
The City of Santee will complete its Climate Action Plan by September 2019. The City of Lemon Grove is committed to completing its Climate Action Plan by April 2020.
Action: Approve
The Board of Directors is asked to approve a six-month time extension for the City of Lemon Grove and City of Santee to complete their Climate Action Plan requirements under the TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program and TransNet Active Transportation Program, respectively.
2
To maintain eligibility for the two projects’ funding, the City of Lemon Grove and the City of Santee have requested a six-month extension to complete and adopt their Climate Action Plans. Attachments 1 and 2 details the City of Lemon Grove’s and the City of Santee’s climate action planning efforts to date as well as milestones achieved.
Next Steps
If approved, work by the City of Santee and the City of Lemon Grove on their CAP efforts will be monitored and a grant agreement for their projects would be executed upon approval of the CAP.
If the extensions are not approved, the City of Santee and the City of Lemon Grove will not be eligible to receive funding for their projects. The $2.5 million awarded to the City of Lemon Grove would be allocated to the two partially-awarded SGIP projects that received a lower ranking (projects highlighted in Pink in Attachment 3). The $306,999 awarded to the City of Santee would be allocated to a partially funded ATGP project (SD Streamview Drive, highlighted in Pink in Attachment 4).

Dear Ms. Ferchaw,
The City of Lemon Grove (City) is currently participating in SANDAG's Energy Roadmap Program to develop
a Climate Action Plan (Plan). The Plan is required for the City to be eligible to receive a $2.5 million grant
from the Trans Net Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) for the City's Connect Main Street project. The
SGIP grant eligibility requires that a Plan must be adopted within one year of the SANDAG Board of
Director's approval or by October 26, 2019. The City would like to request a six-month extension to
complete the Plan and allow time for City staff to present the final Plan to the City Council.
Previous efforts undertaken to maintain the project schedule.
The City has completed initial data collection to quantify emissions and responded to questions related
to City procedures. In conjunction with this data collection, City staff conducted multiple meetings with
SAN DAG staff and their consultants to develop preliminary measure scenarios and provide feedback. The
City has also initiated work on a public outreach plan to inform the development of the draft Plan.
Detailed explanation on the reason for the delay, and how it was unavoidable.
During the second half of 2018, the City experienced personnel issues that resulted in insufficient time
allocation to data collection and project management. The unforeseen lack of City resources resulted in
delays that prevented the Plan from moving forward.
Demonstrate the ability to succeed in the timeframe proposed.
On June 5, 2019 a new Community Development Manager began service with the City. The new
Community Development Manager will be responsible for completing the Plan. The requested six-month
extension will allow the Community Development Manager to finalize the Plan and present the final Plan
to the City Council by April, 2020. With additional resources in place, the City is committed to completing
the Plan according to the proposed schedule and to completing improvements associated the Connect
Main Street SGIP grant according to the approved schedule. The City acknowledges that failure to do so
could result in a loss of SGIP grant funding for the Connect Main Street project.

Dear Ms. Ferchaw,
The City of Santee is currently developing a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The Plan is required
for the City to be eligible to receive a $306,999.00 grant from the TransNet Active
Transportation Grant Program (ATGP). The ATGP grant Eligibility requires that a Plan must be
adopted within one year of the SAN DAG Board of Director's approval or by July 27, 2019. The
City would like to request a six-month extension to complete the Plan and allow time for City
staff to present the final Plan to the City Council.
Previous efforts undertaken to maintain the project schedule.
The City of Santee has developed a climate action plan, entitled "Sustainable Santee Plan."
This plan is designed to help Santee achieve State-targets on greenhouse gas ("GHG")
emission reductions. An Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") was prepared in accordance with
the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Sustainable Santee Plan and the EIR
were made available for public and agency review and comment for 45 days. Staff is currently
responding to comments and preparing for a City Council Hearing on the EIR and the
Sustainable Santee Plan in August 2019.
A detailed explanation on the reason for delay, and how it was unavoidable.
The City Council public hearing to request adoption of the Sustainable Santee Plan was delayed
by the ever-changing regulatory framework for GHG reductions in California. In September
2018, then-Governor Brown signed Executive Order EO B-55-18 which established a State
wide policy of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2045. There was uncertainty on whether or how to
incorporate this goal into the essentially completed Sustainable Santee Plan.
Another unavoidable delay was that the plan required more public outreach and education than
was originally anticipated. Several stakeholder groups requested changes to the plan. City staff
has met with the Climate Action Campaign on several occasions to negotiate the final draft of
Santee Grant Extension Request July 17, 2019 Page 2 of 2
Demonstrate the ability to succeed in the timeframe proposed.
The project to develop and adopt a climate action plan required ten (10) steps. Most of the work
on this project has been completed. The City of Santee has completed seven of the below ten
steps, with steps 8 through 10 remaining:
1. Developed the Sustainable Santee Plan2. Published the Notice of Preparation in accordance with CEQA3. Held a Scoping Meeting in accordance with CEQA4. Refined the plan based on public input5. Developed the EIR6. Published a Notice of Availability for the Sustainable Santee Plan and EIR. The plan and
EIR were available for agency and public review and comment from March 15, 2019 toApril 29, 2019
7. The City received nine (9) comment letters on the Plan and EIR8. Complete responses to public and agency comments on the plan and the EIR9. Complete final plan and final EIR10. Conduct public hearing, certify the EIR and adopt the Sustainable Santee Plan no later
than August 28, 2019
With the additional time, staff intends to place the Sustainable Santee Plan and EIR on the City
Council Agenda no later than August 28, 2019.
We appreciate the San Diego Association of Government's consideration in this matter.

Proposed FY 2020 Program Budget Amendment: Fiber Optic Information Network Gap Closure Project
Overview
In 2017, the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), North County Transit District (NCTD), Caltrans, and SANDAG entered into an Inter-Agency Fiber Optic Cable Sharing Agreement Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to share spare fiber capacity. Spare capacity in the fiber optic cables is being used to expand each agency’s information network, and to create network redundancy. These partnerships allow agencies to save taxpayers’ dollars through strand exchange instead of installing costly new infrastructure.
Key Considerations
To utilize the spare capacity, gaps between existing cables must be closed. Since the MOU was executed, many of the gaps in the fiber optic network have been or are being closed as part of existing projects. However, gaps remain in both Escondido and Oceanside.
The Fiber Optic Information Network Gap Closure Project will close these two gaps. Attachment 1 shows the completed fiber optic network.
The cost of closing the gaps is estimated at $520,000. The transfer of $430,000 from SANDAG toll revenues and acceptance of $90,000 from NCTD`s positive train control (PTC) network project will fund the Fiber Optic Information Network Gap Closure Project (Attachment 2). When the fiber optic redundant ring is complete, the South Bay Expressway Operation Center will connect to tolling systems throughout the San Diego region, improving toll road management and reliability of network connections. In addition, the fiber optic redundant ring will provide a secondary communications path for the Positive Train Control system and increase network reliability. MTS is planning to contribute $100,000 in this fiscal year, increasing the total project budget to $620,000. Concurrently, Caltrans is developing a project to establish connections to the Otay Mesa Transit Center and State Route 11 as its contribution to regional connectivity.
Next Steps
Project completion will enable a high-speed redundant information network for all four agencies. Highway, Managed Lanes, railroad, and bus Rapid transit control centers will have the capability to view and communicate without interruption through various surveillance methods to improve the safety and reliability
Action: Approve
The Transportation Committee recommends that the Board of Directors approve an amendment to the FY 2020 Program Budget to:
1. create a new Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project (CIP project No. 1131500) to establish the Fiber Optic Information Network Gap Closure Project;
2. transfer $430,000 of SANDAG toll revenues to CIP Project No. 1131500; and
3. accept $90,000 from the North County Transit District to fund CIP Project No. 1131500.
Fiscal Impact:
The $430,000 of SANDAG tolling revenues will be taken from reserves and will not impact operations or the delivery of other projects.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
Construction of the Fiber Optic Information Network Gap Closure project is expected to begin in late 2019 and be completed within one year.

Proposed FY 2020 Program Budget Amendment: El Portal Undercrossing
Overview
The City of Encinitas is completing the design of the El Portal Undercrossing Project (Project) for the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor and has asked SANDAG to manage the construction phase of the Project. The Project will provide a direct connection to the Coastal Rail Trail, a Class I facility for pedestrian and bike use and a key active transportation corridor in the region.
Key Considerations
In May 2009, the City of Encinitas environmentally cleared three grade-separated pedestrian undercrossings of the LOSSAN railway tracks at Santa Fe Drive, El Portal Street, and Montgomery Avenue. In 2012 and 2013, SANDAG constructed the Santa Fe Drive undercrossing for the City.
In 2015, the City was awarded a California Transportation Commission Active Transportation Program grant of $3.802 million to construct the undercrossing at El Portal Street. The City has contributed another $5.135 million, bringing the total budget to $8.937 million (Attachment 1).
The City will be responsible for 100 percent of the cost of the Project and negotiation for a Memorandum of Understanding defining roles and responsibilities for delivery of the Project is underway.
Next Steps
Staff will work with the City of Encinitas to finalize project design and to advertise the Project for bid. Construction is expected to start in fall 2020.
Attachment: 1. Proposed FY 2020 Budget Amendment for Capital Improvement Program Project No. 1146900, El Portal Undercrossing
Fiscal Impact:
All costs associated with the construction of the El Portal Undercrossing Project, including design support and construction management, would be funded by the City of Encinitas.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
Construction is expected to start in mid-2020 and the facility is scheduled to open in spring 2022.
Action: Approve
The Transportation Committee recommends the Board of Directors approve an amendment to the FY 2020 Program Budget to:
1. create a new Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project (CIP Project No. 1146900) to establish the El Portal Undercrossing Project; and
2. accept $8.937 million in funding from the City of Encinitas and State Active Transportation Program to fully fund construction.
Complete final design and construct pedestrian undercrossing underneath the existing NCTD operated railroad at the El Portal location described in the Project Limits below.
Project has been environmentally cleared and designed to the 95% level by the City of Encinitas. Permitting is in progress.
Project Limits Major MilestonesThe project is located at MP 237.1 on the LOSSAN Rail Corridor. The undercrossing will connecting Highway 101 to Vulcan Ave, within the City of Encinitas and is located East of El Portal street.

SB 1 State of Good Repair Program: North County Transit District Project List
Overview
The SB 1 State of Good Repair (SGR) Program includes $107.6 million in funding statewide in FY 2019-2020 on a formula basis to transit operators for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation, and capital projects. Of that amount, $6.2 million is expected to be available to the San Diego region—$1.6 million to North County Transit District (NCTD) and $4.5 million to Metropolitan Transit System (MTS).
Under the SGR guidelines, recipients must submit to Caltrans a list of projects proposed for SGR program funding to receive an allocation from the State Controller’s Office (SCO).
Per the SGR Program guidelines, SANDAG is responsible for submitting claims on behalf of NCTD while MTS may receive its funds directly. Additional information on the SGR Program may be found at: www.dot.ca.gov/drmt/docs/spsgr/finalguidelines.pdf
Key Considerations
On December 20, 2018, the NCTD Board of Directors approved the use of SGR Program funds for the Locomotive Replacement project located in the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Oceanside, San Diego, and Solana Beach, as well as at the Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton. This project will replace seven Tier 0 and two Tier 2 COASTER locomotives with cleaner, more efficient Tier 4 locomotives. Project benefits include more efficient operations, decreased emissions, and fuel savings.
The total project cost is $53.2 million and includes $5 million in SGR Program funding and $8.1 million in State Transit Assistance Program funds.

Proposition 68 Department of Conservation Local and Regional Planning Grant Program: SANDAG Project Submission
Overview
The California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018 (Proposition 68) allocates funding to several State agencies including the Department of Conservation. The Department of Conservation issued a grant solicitation notice for Local and Regional Planning Projects on May 31, 2019.
This grant program allocates $950,000 for projects that integrate natural and working lands into local and regional planning documents to optimize greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions.
Key Considerations
Eligible applicants include counties, cities, councils of governments, municipal planning organizations, regional transportation planning agencies, resource conservation districts, other regional planning agencies, municipally owned special districts, water districts, other special districts, and tribal governments. There is no match required.
Based on the grant guidelines and evaluation criteria, the following regional project is recommended for submission:
San Diego Region TerraCount Assessment – SANDAG would request $100,000 to fund an on-call environmental planning consultant to collect data and run TerraCount, a scenario planning tool that can quantify the carbon stocks and other benefits of the region’s natural and working lands.
The San Diego region has approximately 1,336,000 acres of conserved lands, approximately 8,700 acres of which have been conserved through the SANDAG Environmental Mitigation Program. Using the TerraCount tool would allow SANDAG to explore how the region’s conservation efforts are helping the region meet California’s GHG reduction targets.
Next Steps
SANDAG would submit an application to the Department of Conservation’s Local and Regional Planning Grant Program on or before the grant deadline of July 31, 2019. Grant awards are tentatively scheduled to be announced in September 2019. If awarded funding, SANDAG would enter into a grant agreement with the Department of Conservation in fall/winter 2019.
The Board of Directors is asked to adopt Resolution No. 2020-03, approving the submission of an application to the Department of Conservation’s Local and Regional Planning Grant Program and authorizing SANDAG to accept award funding and enter into an agreement with the Department of Conservation.
Fiscal Impact:
If awarded funding, $100,000 in grant funds would be added to the FY 2020 budget.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
If awarded funding, this project would be completed in FY 2020 and FY 2021, with data incorporated into San Diego Forward: The 2021 Regional Plan.

WHEREAS, the State of California has a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and a carbon neutrality goal for 2045; and
WHEREAS, carbon sequestration from natural and working lands is a State-identified strategy to meet these goals; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 68 (The California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018) allocates a total of $30 million to the Department of Conservation (Department); and
WHEREAS, the Department is allocating $950,000 of Proposition 68 funding to the Local and Regional Planning Grants Program to support the integration of natural and working lands into local and regional planning documents; and
WHEREAS, funding from the Local and Regional Planning Grants Program can be used for the TerraCount tool, which models the GHG and natural resource implications of different development patterns and management activities; and
WHEREAS, outputs from the TerraCount tool may inform San Diego Forward: The 2021 Regional Plan and the extent to which natural and working lands help the San Diego region meet State GHG targets; NOW THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED, that the SANDAG Board of Directors:
1. Authorizes the submittal of a grant application for a Local and Regional Planning Grants Program.
2. Certifies that SANDAG understands the assurances and certification in the application.
3. Authorizes SANDAG to enter into a grant agreement with the Department for the project and accept the template terms and conditions, if the project is awarded funding.

Board of Directors July 26, 2019
Equal Employment Opportunity Program
Overview
SANDAG is committed to values such as diversity, fairness, equity, and inclusion. While federal and state laws describe obligations SANDAG must adhere to, there is a shared philosophy among the Board of Directors, management, and employees that engaging, representing, and serving all residents of the San Diego region as well as making employment opportunities broadly available makes the organization more responsive to its stakeholders and ultimately more effective in the delivery of programs, projects, and services.
Key Considerations
FY 2019 Employment Results
Board Policy No. 007: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program, describes the agency’s commitment to hiring and staffing practices. The following is a summary of employment results for the period July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.
Recruitments and New Hires
• 37 recruitments were conducted to fill 66 positions. 92 percent of job openings were advertised externally and available to both internal and external candidates; 8 percent were internal and open only to current employees. All recruitments are conducted in an open, competitive manner.
• Job notices for full-time positions were sent to more than 200 regional contacts as part of the agency’s efforts to reach qualified female, minority, and veteran candidates.
• Approximately 1,300 applications were received for job openings. Based on voluntary data provided by candidates, 51 percent identified as female and 53 percent identified as belonging to a minority group.
• 66 new employees were hired. 23 individuals were hired to fill core positions; the remaining 43 filled contingent positions.
• Of the 66 new employees hired, 62 percent were female, and 50 percent were from minority groups.
Promotions
• 48 employees were promoted; 21 individuals were promoted after successfully competing in either an internal or external recruitment.
• Of the 48 promoted employees, 69 percent were female, and 38 percent represented minority groups.
Fiscal Impact:
None
Schedule/Scope Impact:
None
Action: Information
In accordance with SANDAG Board Policy No. 007: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program, this report summarizes employment results for FY 2019 and reviews EEO Program goals for the upcoming year.

Employee Demographics
• As of June 30, 2019, 57 percent of agency employees were female, and 48 percent were from minority groups.
Overall, the reported statistics compare favorably to the San Diego Region Civilian Labor Force (derived from Census 2010 data), in which 46 percent of the population is female and 47 percent are from minority groups.
EEO Program Goals
In addition to reviewing annual employment results, SANDAG evaluates the effectiveness of its EEO Program by comparing the proportion of women and minorities in each of five defined job categories. The following chart represents FY 2019 EEO Program results compared to labor force availability. The agency’s FY 2020 goal is for females and minorities to be represented in approximately the same proportion as the availability of females and minorities within the San Diego Region Labor Force.

Next Steps
It is anticipated the number of opportunities to fill job openings within the next year will be similar to previous years. When such opportunities are available, SANDAG will continue its efforts to communicate the availability of positions to female and minority candidates through gender-neutral and race-neutral outreach and advertising strategies in support of its goal of reaching parity with the local labor force.

Board of Directors July 26, 2019
TransNet Major Corridors Program Update
Overview
The Board of Directors requested at its June 28, 2019, meeting that an item providing a “one-page summary” of costs and revenues associated with completion of the TransNet Major Corridors Program be provided. This report provides additional detail regarding anticipated funding in the near-, mid-, and long-term (FY 2019-23, FY 2024-35, FY 2036-48, respectively), initially reported in summarized form to the Board on February 22, 2019.
Key Considerations
Current costs for remaining, unprogrammed TransNet Major Corridors Program projects only (i.e., not including debt service) are estimated to be about $24.4 billion. These cost estimates were prepared as part of an update to the Regional Plan.
Attachment 1 shows the available TransNet and state/ federal formula funds that are estimated to become available in the near-, mid-, and long-term, totaling approximately $8.6 billion through 2048. In addition to these formula funds, it is estimated that an additional $6 billion could become available from successful grant applications in existing competitive funding programs.
• This leaves a funding gap of approximately $15.8 billion to complete all TransNet Major Corridor projects by 2048, including about $6 billion that could potentially be raised through competitive funding cycles. This means that every TransNet dollar used to deliver a project would need to be matched by $9.60 of other funds to complete the program.
Funding availability in the next five years is constrained due to SANDAG debt obligations. Of the $8.6 billion in TransNet and state and federal formula funds expected to be available through 2048, only about $291 million is estimated to be available between now and the end of FY 2023 (Attachment 2). This amount does not include TransNet and state and federal formula funds that the Board already has programmed through FY 2023 to other ongoing projects, nor the TransNet funding needed to cover debt service in this time period.
• Of the $291 million expected to be available through FY 2023, approximately $47 million is from TransNet and $244 million is from state and federal sources.

through 2048 2. Estimated Revenues ($YOE billions), FY 2019-2048
Fiscal Impact:
Approximately $8.6 billion is estimated to be available to finish TransNet Major Corridors Program projects through 2048. An additional $6 billion could also become available if the region is successful in competitive grant cycles. The current estimated cost to deliver these projects by 2048 is $24.4 billion.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
Based on current estimates, approximately $9.8 billion in new matching funds and $6 billion in potential competitive funds are needed to address a funding gap of $15.8 billion to complete all TransNet Major Corridor projects by 2048.

On July 5, 2018, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) determined the San Diego region would need to plan for 171,685 housing units during the 6th Housing Element Cycle (2021-2029).
On December 21, 2018, the Board of Directors formed the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Subcommittee to review and provide input and guidance on potential policy and technical options for developing the RHNA methodology, which is then used for the allocation of housing units to each jurisdiction.
Based upon objectives in state law, the RHNA Subcommittee identified priorities to be used in drafting the RHNA methodology and allocation. This information was shared with the Regional Planning Technical Working Group (TWG), consisting of the planning and community development directors from each jurisdiction in the region and interested housing stakeholders.
At the June 14, 2019, meeting, the RHNA Subcommittee voted to recommend a methodology to the Board of Directors (Attachment 1). At its June 27, 2019, meeting, the TWG recommended the same methodology as the RHNA Subcommittee. Staff has determined that the recommended methodology furthers the five objectives listed in Government Code Section 65584.
Key Considerations
State law requires the SANDAG housing unit methodology further five objectives; however, state law does not dictate how those objectives should be prioritized. The RHNA Subcommittee determined the priorities for the methodology include increasing transit use, improving the jobs and housing relationship, providing an equitable distribution, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Attachment 3 summarizes the RHNA Subcommittee’s discussions during each of its meetings. Attachment 4 summarizes TWG and stakeholder meetings held to solicit input on the methodology.
Each objective can be prioritized and adjusted to consider other factors or data sets. The RHNA Subcommittee and TWG discussed several adjustments that could be made to the methodology based on local conditions and priorities, including adjusting the manner in which jobs were counted for each jurisdiction and determining what should qualify as a major transit stop. As described in the June 14, 2019, report to the RHNA Subcommittee, SANDAG staff recommended using the total number of jobs in the methodology. The RHNA Subcommittee included an adjustment to the total number of jobs to account for military jobs housed on base, since those jobs did not require off-base housing in the jurisdiction.
The RHNA Subcommittee members directed staff to focus on a methodology that was transparent and not overly complicated so that it could be easily understood by the public. Due to the Regional Plan’s inclusion of smart growth principles, which call for housing near transit and in urban areas, existing density, available space within each jurisdiction, the cost of land, airport land use regulations, and other limiting factors within each jurisdiction were not identified as priorities warranting an adjustment to the methodology.
Fiscal Impact: Development of the RHNA Plan is funded through Overall Work Program No. 3102000 in the FY 2019 Program Budget.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
The RHNA methodology and draft allocation is scheduled to be adopted by the Board of Directors in late 2019. Local governments will have until April 2021 to update their housing elements to accommodate the housing unit allocations.
Action: Approve
The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Subcommittee recommends that the Board of Directors release the draft RHNA methodology for public review.
Ultimately, the RHNA Subcommittee and TWG recommended that the following methodology be released for public review.
1. 65 percent of the total housing units should be allocated to jurisdictions with access to transit, including rail stations, Rapid bus stations, and major transit stops. Significant investments in transit have been made throughout the region, and the RHNA methodology prioritizes housing growth in those areas with access to transit. Encouraging housing growth near transit can help the allocation promote infill development and preserve open space, as most transit is located in urbanized areas. Improved access to transit also can lower the vehicle miles traveled in a car and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Within the housing units allocated for jurisdictions with access to transit, 75 percent of the units should be allocated to jurisdictions with rail stations and Rapid bus stations and 25 percent should be allocated to jurisdictions with major transit stops. To ensure future growth is located near transit, the methodology prioritizes 75 percent of the housing units in areas with rail and Rapid bus stations. Rail stations and Rapid bus stations usually are located along fixed routes that require significant capital investment to construct. Unlike bus stops or routes, rail and Rapid stations and routes are not amended or eliminated on regular basis.
The remaining 25 percent of the housing units would be allocated in jurisdictions with major transit stops. Major transit stops, as defined in state law, have two intersecting bus routes that arrive at 15-minute intervals during peak commute hours.
3. 35 percent of the total housing units should be allocated to jurisdictions based on the total number of jobs in their jurisdiction adjusted to account for military housing on bases. Jurisdictions should plan for housing to provide opportunities for more residents to live near their place of employment. The RHNA Subcommittee and TWG recommended the number of jobs in each jurisdiction with a military base be reduced to account for military jobs housed directly on a base.
4. The allocation should apply an equity adjustment. The HCD’s RHNA Determination divided the number of housing units needed in the region into four income categories based on the region’s current percentages of households in each income category. To promote equity and fair housing, the RHNA methodology would allocate more housing units of an income category to jurisdictions with a percentage of households in that category that is lower than the regional percentage.
Following a public hearing and public comment period, the draft RHNA methodology must be sent to HCD for a 60-day review period. If no changes to the methodology are required by HCD, the Board of Directors can adopt the final methodology and release a draft version of the allocation resulting from the methodology for a 45-day appeal period. Attachment 2 shows how the recommended methodology would be used to allocate housing units to each jurisdiction if no changes are made to the methodology between July and final adoption.
Next Steps
The Board of Directors is asked to release a draft of the RHNA methodology for public review. A public hearing will be conducted and the draft RHNA methodology will be sent to the HCD for its review following the Board’s acceptance of the draft at the end of the public review period.
The Board of Directors will be asked to approve a final RHNA Methodology and draft allocation based upon any comments from the public and HCD. Local governments will have until April 2021 to update their housing elements to accommodate the housing unit allocations.

DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND FOR THE DRAFT RHNA METHODOLOGY
Introduction
State housing element law requires SANDAG to provide a discussion of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation methodology that includes the data and assumptions relied upon, and an explanation of how information about local government conditions and how each of the factors required by law was used to develop the proposed methodology. (See Government Code Section 65584.04.) In addition, SANDAG is required to describe how the draft methodology would further the five objectives in Government Code Section 65584. This document and the other attachments to the SANDAG Board Report concerning RHNA dated July 26, 2019, is intended to provide the information needed for the public to comment on the proposed draft methodology.
Data, Assumptions, and Information on Local Government Conditions
Prior to and during the development of the methodology, the RHNA Subcommittee, which was established by the Board of Directors, the Regional Planning Technical Working Group (including planning directors from each jurisdiction and housing stakeholders), the SANDAG Regional Planning Committee, and the Board of Directors held public meetings to obtain input on the data, assumptions and local condition information that SANDAG should use to develop the draft methodology. At these meetings, stakeholders, staff from the cities and the County of San Diego, and elected officials were asked to help determine the priorities for the methodology, and discuss the data needed to prepare the methodology. The Regional Planning Technical Working Group (TWG) held a workshop to discuss the RHNA objectives and factors in state law. The TWG members provided feedback on relevant data to consider approaches to the methodology. Attendees at each meeting provided information regarding the types of data SANDAG should use, assumptions that should be made, as well as information regarding conditions in their individual jurisdictions that should be taken into consideration. For example, the RHNA Subcommittee members were surveyed to determine which objectives and factors were highest priority for the region, and the draft RHNA methodology was developed based on that data and input. The TWG members provided written comments on the development of the methodology throughout the process.
There was general consensus at the meetings that the approach chosen should keep the allocation methodology simple and easy to explain to the public. Nuanced adjustments that may have modified the methodology in marginal ways in relation to the overall objectives and factors were discussed and considered. Factors and adjustments that would have created a complicated formula, however, ultimately were not pursued since the draft methodology was developed with the intent to keep it transparent and understandable.
RHNA Objectives
The RHNA methodology and allocation furthers the five objectives listed in Government Code Section 65584.
1. Increasing the housing supply and the mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability in all cities and counties within the region in an equitable manner, which shall result in each jurisdiction receiving an allocation of units for low-and very low-income households.
Per state law, the RHNA methodology allocates units in all four income categories to each of the region’s 19 jurisdictions. The methodology does so equitably, ensuring each jurisdiction receives an allocation for low-and very low-income units, and further, allocating a higher share of low-and very low units to jurisdictions that currently have a smaller share of low-and very low-income households than the regional share. State law requires jurisdictions to zone at higher densities to accommodate its low-and very low-income housing allocation. As jurisdictions plan for and build housing, the mix of housing types will increase.
4
2. Promoting infill development and socioeconomic equity, the protection of environmental and agricultural resources, the encouragement of efficient development patterns, and the achievement of the region’s greenhouse gas reductions targets provided by the State Air Resources Board pursuant to Section 65080.
The RHNA methodology prioritizes “proximity to transit” and “proximity to jobs” to encourage efficient development patterns and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By allocating housing units based on these two factors, SANDAG sets a guiding principle for local jurisdictions to zone and build housing near transit and jobs. Transit and job centers are located in the urbanized areas of the region. Therefore, an allocation based on the proximity of transit and jobs will lead to more infill development while protecting natural resources and open space. Because infill development does not rely on available space and can occur in areas that already have a dense population, the methodology supports provision of housing even in areas that are currently considered built-out.
SANDAG’s GHG reduction target, as set by the California Air Resources Board, is to reduce the region’s per capita emissions of GHG from cars and light trucks by 15 percent by 2020, compared with a 2005 baseline. By 2035, the target is to reduce GHG emissions by 19 percent per capita. The RHNA methodology encourages the development of housing near jobs and transit, which will provide the region’s residents with opportunities to live where they work and/or readily access transit, which can facilitate shorter commutes, reduce vehicle miles traveled, and increase trip-taking by transit or alternative modes.
3. Promoting an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing, including an improved balance between the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction.
SANDAG conducted an analysis of the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction. The analysis shows that the number of low-wage jobs far exceeds the number of existing housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction.
The RHNA methodology allocates 35 percent of the 171,685-unit regional housing need based on each jurisdiction’s share of existing regional total jobs to encourage development of housing near job centers so that jurisdictions can improve the jobs-housing relationship.
The draft RHNA methodology’s Equity Adjustment (see Objective 4) also improves the balance between the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction by allocating a higher share of low- and very low-income housing units to jurisdictions that currently have a smaller share of low-and very low-income households than the regional share.
4. Allocating a lower proportion of housing need to an income category when a jurisdiction already has a disproportionately high share of households in that income category, as compared to the countywide distribution of households in that category from the most recent American Community Survey.
This objective guided the development of the Equity Adjustment used to ensure the methodology will result in allocation of housing units to each of the income categories. This adjustment results in a jurisdiction receiving a lower proportion of its total housing units within an income category when it has a higher share of households within that income category compared to the region. This method shifts units across income categories, rather than adding units to a jurisdiction’s total housing unit allocation, allowing for a mix of housing types and affordability near transit and jobs.
5. Affirmatively furthering fair housing. For purposes of this section, “affirmatively furthering fair housing” means taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming
5
racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.
During development of the RHNA methodology, SANDAG reviewed the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) 2019 Opportunity Map for the San Diego region. The TCAC map demonstrates how public and private resources are spatially distributed within the region. The map is part of a larger study that shows how communities with better air quality, higher educational attainment, and better economic indicators are communities that have higher “opportunity”, or pathways that offer low-income children and adults the best chance at economic advancement. The study finds that historically communities with higher opportunity – through plans, policies, and practices – may have systematically denied equal opportunity to low socioeconomic and minority populations.
Areas of “low resource” and “high segregation & poverty” on the TCAC maps are also many of the same areas with a high concentration of low-income households in the San Diego region. The Equity Adjustment within the RHNA methodology addresses the disparities in access to resource-rich areas by providing housing opportunities for people in all income levels to reside in any given community. This is meant to foster and maintain compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws. The Equity Adjustment in the RHNA methodology assists in overcoming patterns of discrimination and transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity by allocating a higher proportion of low-income housing units to jurisdictions with a lower share of low-income households, which tend to be jurisdictions with a high concentration of resource-rich areas.

RHNA Factors
In addition to furthering the objectives outlined above, state law requires that SANDAG consider several factors in the development of the RHNA methodology, to the extent sufficient data is available pertaining to each factor. See Government Code Section 65584.04(e). The RHNA factors and how each were considered in the development of the draft RHNA methodology are described below.
1. Each jurisdiction’s existing and projected jobs and housing relationship. This shall include an estimate based on readily available data on the number of low-wage jobs within the jurisdiction and how many housing units within the jurisdiction are affordable to low-wage workers as well as an estimate based on readily available data, of projected job growth and projected household growth by income level within each member jurisdiction during the planning period.
The RHNA methodology prioritizes “proximity to jobs” as a factor in allocating the regional housing need. The jobs factor seeks to encourage development of housing near job centers so that jurisdictions can achieve greater jobs-housing balance. The jobs factor uses current data on existing jobs instead of a projection. Given the housing shortage within the region, it is critical that housing is built where existing jobs are located to begin to address the current jobs-housing imbalance. Although data for projected job and household growth by income level for the next Regional Plan update is not yet available, SANDAG used the most recent readily available data for projected job growth and projected household growth by income level within each member jurisdiction to conduct its analysis.
SANDAG analyzed the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction. The analysis showed that the number of low-wage jobs far exceeds the number of existing housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction. The draft RHNA methodology is expected to increase the supply of affordable housing by allocating each jurisdiction low- and very low-income housing units. The draft RHNA methodology’s Equity Adjustment (see Objective 4) should also improve the balance between the number of low-wage jobs and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction by allocating a higher share of low- and very low-income housing units to jurisdictions that currently have a smaller share of low-and very low-income households than the regional share.
2. The opportunities and constraints to development of additional housing in each member jurisdiction, including all of the following:
a. Lack of capacity for sewer or water service due to federal or state laws, regulations or regulatory actions, or supply and distribution decisions made by a sewer or water service provider other than the local jurisdiction that preclude the jurisdiction from providing necessary infrastructure for additional development during the planning period.
SANDAG notes that general plans for some jurisdictions may account for constraints to housing development arising from lack of capacity for sewer or water service. For example, rural areas may rely more heavily on well water and septic systems, which constrains housing development due to lack of sufficient infrastructure. For the draft methodology, however, the “proximity to transit” factor allocates housing units based on each jurisdiction’s share of regional rail and Rapid bus stations as well as major transit stops. Rail and Rapid bus stations are located in the region’s more developed areas where land uses generate enough ridership to support the investment to the transit infrastructure. Major transit stops also are located in the region’s urbanized areas and surrounded by land uses that support higher service frequencies. By prioritizing transit connectivity, the methodology encourages infill development in urban areas that are likely to have existing capacity for sewer or water service.
7
c. The availability of land suitable for urban development or for conversion to residential use, the availability of underutilized land, and opportunities for infill development and increased residential densities. The council of governments may not limit its consideration of suitable housing sites or land suitable for urban development to existing zoning ordinances and land use restrictions of a locality, but shall consider the potential for increased residential development under alternative zoning ordinances and land use restrictions. The determination of available land suitable for urban development may exclude lands where the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Department of Water Resources has determined that the flood management infrastructure designed to protect that land is not adequate to avoid the risk of flooding.
The draft RHNA methodology is not constrained by existing zoning ordinances and land use restrictions. Instead the methodology prioritizes “proximity to transit” and “proximity to jobs”, which aligns with several beneficial land use planning principles, such as promoting infill and increasing residential densities. The availability of land suitable for urban development or for conversion to residential use, the availability of underutilized land, and opportunities for infill development and increased residential densities are accounted for due to the methodology’s use of the proximity to jobs and transit factors. When development of housing is promoted near transit and jobs in areas that are already more densely populated and developed than other areas of each jurisdiction, it allows the jurisdictions to focus on infill development that can occur without reliance on the availability of additional land, but instead on underutilized land that can be converted to uses that allow for increased residential density.
The “proximity to transit” factor allocates housing units based on each jurisdiction’s share of regional rail and Rapid bus stations as well as major transit stops. Rail and Rapid bus stations are located in the region’s urbanized areas where land uses generate enough ridership to support the investment to the transit infrastructure. Major transit stops are also located in the region’s urbanized areas and surrounded by land uses that support higher service frequencies. By prioritizing transit, the methodology encourages infill development in areas that are suitable for urban development. A transit-focused methodology also promotes increased densities as jurisdictions must plan for housing in urban areas already served by high quality transit.
The RHNA methodology aligns with the region’s priorities for growth. As shown in Figure 3.1, general plans in the San Diego region have focused growth and development in existing urban areas, preserved more land for habitat and open space, and looked to accommodate more housing near transit and key destinations.

d. Lands preserved or protected from urban development under existing federal or state programs, or both, designed to protect open space, farmland, environmental habitats, and natural resources on a long-term basis, including land zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of that jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts conversion to non-agricultural uses.
General plans for individual jurisdictions may account for constraints to housing development arising from lands preserved or protected from urban development under existing federal or state programs. As shown in the figures below though, preserved land, farmland, and habitats are primarily in the eastern portion of San Diego County. The draft RHNA methodology focuses housing units in areas with access to transit and jobs, which are located in the existing urbanized areas. Therefore, the draft methodology will not encourage encroachment upon open space areas.

e. County policies to preserve prime agricultural land, as defined pursuant to Section 56064, within an unincorporated and land within an unincorporated area zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of that jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts its conversion to non-agricultural uses.
The County of San Diego General Plan accounts for some constraints to housing development arising from policies to preserve prime agricultural land and incorporates local ballot measure provisions prohibiting or restricting the conversion of agricultural to non-agricultural uses. The draft RHNA methodology allocates housing units based on access to jobs and transit, which are located in existing urbanized areas. Therefore, this constraint is not expected to impact the methodology’s capacity to allow for development of additional housing.
3. The distribution of household growth assumed for purposes of a comparable period of regional transportation plans and opportunities to maximize the use of public transportation and existing transportation infrastructure.
As shown in Figure 3.1, plans for growth are focused on the urbanized areas of the region. The RHNA methodology prioritizes “proximity to transit” as a factor—specifically high-quality transit, which is located in the urbanized area. The emphasis on proximity to transit allows local jurisdictions that have invested in transit the opportunity to maximize the use of existing transportation infrastructure.
4. Agreements between a county and cities in a county to direct growth toward incorporated areas of the county, and land within an unincorporated area zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of the jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts conversion to non-agricultural uses.
Regional planning undertaken by SANDAG and its member agencies during the past 15 to 20 years, has focused the region’s growth in the western third of the region, primarily in its incorporated cities and near transit service (Figure 3.1). SANDAG has funded “smart growth” grants to encourage growth in incorporated areas of the county with sufficient density to support transit-oriented development. Consistent with this, the draft RHNA methodology prioritizes “proximity to transit” and “proximity to jobs”. High-quality transit service and a high concentration of the region’s jobs are located in the urbanized, incorporated areas of the region. Thus, the methodology is consistent with agreements between SANDAG, the County of San Diego, and the cities to develop public transportation infrastructure and supporting land uses away from areas that are zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation. Interjurisdictional agreements may account for some development constraints; however, those agreements are not expected to be in conflict with the draft methodology due to the prioritization of proximity to transit and jobs.
5. The loss of units contained in assisted housing developments, as defined in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 65583, that changed to non-low-income use through mortgage prepayment, subsidy contract expirations, or termination of use restrictions.
The data for these units is not readily available and varies by jurisdiction. The loss of assisted housing developments for lower income households is an issue that should be addressed by the jurisdictions when preparing their housing elements.
6. The percentage of existing households at each of the income levels listed in subdivision (e) of Section 65584 that are paying more than 30 percent and more than 50 percent of their income in rent.
This factor was not included in state law at the time the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) was making its determination on the regional housing need of the San Diego region, and sufficient data for this factor is not readily available. The San Diego region received its largest RHNA Determination this cycle, however, and it is expected that an influx of housing units in each income category will help alleviate the rent burden in the region.
11
7. The rate of overcrowding.
HCD used the 2012-2016 American Community Survey to determine the rate of overcrowding in the San Diego region when making its RHNA Determination. HCD then compared the San Diego region’s overcrowding rate (6.43% of all households) to the national rate (3.34% of all households). To address the needs of overcrowding in the region, HCD’s RHNA Determination included an overcrowding adjustment of 3.09 percent, which added 38,700 housing units to the regional housing need to alleviate overcrowding in the region. Thus, this factor has already been accounted for in the draft methodology.
8. The housing needs of farmworkers.
The draft RHNA methodology prioritizes “proximity to jobs” as a factor in allocating the regional housing need. Farmworkers are included in the data on existing jobs. Therefore, their housing needs along with the housing needs of all the region’s workers are considered.
The draft methodology increases the supply of affordable housing by allocating each jurisdiction low- and very low-income housing units. The RHNA methodology’s Equity Adjustment (see Objective 4) also improves the balance between the number of low-wage jobs, including farming jobs, and the number of housing units affordable to low-wage workers in each jurisdiction by allocating a higher share of low- and very low-income housing units to jurisdictions that currently have a smaller share of low-and very low-income households than the regional share. Although the low-income housing needs of farmworkers are unique given their low wages and job locations, the allocation expected from the draft methodology is expected to provide more low-income housing in every jurisdiction and accordingly should provide farmworkers the ability to live in more areas of the region and commute shorter distances to their seasonal jobs.
9. The housing needs generated by the presence of a private university or a campus of the California State University or the University of California within any member jurisdiction.
The major universities and community colleges in the San Diego region are located in urban areas served by the existing transportation network. The City of San Diego is home to San Diego State University; University of California San Diego; University of San Diego; Point Loma Nazarene University; various smaller, private universities; and three community colleges: San Diego City College, San Diego Mesa College, and San Diego Miramar College. It also has the greatest share of the region’s transportation system in part because of transportation investments near universities and colleges located within its jurisdiction.
Similarly, the cities of Chula Vista (Southwestern Community College), El Cajon (Cuyamaca College), Oceanside (MiraCosta College), and San Marcos (California State University San Marcos and Palomar College) have made transportation investments to improve access to transit near colleges and universities. By prioritizing transit proximity, the draft RHNA methodology encourages housing development near existing transit and the key destinations that transit links, including the region’s universities and colleges. The draft methodology will result in additional housing units being allocated based on proximity to transit. This will help these jurisdictions address the housing needs of students, faculty, and staff beyond what these colleges or universities may provide.
10. The loss of units during a state of emergency that was declared by the Governor pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 8550) of Division 1 of Title 2), during the planning period immediately preceding the relevant revision pursuant to Section 65588 that have yet to be rebuilt or replaced at the time of the analysis.
Jurisdictions report demolished units to the Department of Finance on an annual basis. Demolished units include those lost during a state of emergency. Between 2011 and 2018, states of emergency in the San Diego region declared by the Governor pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act, and in which homes were lost, include the following wildfires: the 2014 wildfires (Cocos Fire and Poinsettia Fire), 2017 Lilac Fire, and 2018 West Fire.
12
HCD analyzed the most recent ten-year average rate of demolition within the San Diego region based on jurisdictions’ annual reports to the Department of Finance. The ten-year average rate of demolition in the San Diego region is 0.32 percent of the total housing stock. The RHNA Determination included HCD’s minimum replacement adjustment of 0.5 percent, which exceeds the region’s demolition rate. This adjustment added 6,255 housing units to the RHNA Determination. SANDAG does not have readily available data broken down by jurisdiction to use for this factor and has therefore relied on HCD’s data and adjustment to address this factor at a regional level.
11. The region’s greenhouse gas emissions targets provided by the State Air Resources Board pursuant to Section 65080.
SANDAG’s GHG reduction target, as set by the California Air Resources Board, is to reduce the region’s per capita emissions of GHG from cars and light trucks by 15 percent by 2020, compared with a 2005 baseline. By 2035, the target is to reduce GHG emissions by 19 percent per capita. The RHNA methodology encourages the development of housing near jobs and transit, which will provide the region’s residents with opportunities to live where they work and/or readily access transit, which can facilitate shorter commutes, reduce GHG emissions, and increase trip-taking by transit or alternative modes.
12. Any other factors adopted by the council of governments, that further the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584, provided that the council of governments specifies which of the objectives each additional factor is necessary to further. The council of governments may include additional factors unrelated to furthering the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584 so long as the additional factors do not undermine the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584 and are applied equally across all household income levels as described in subdivision (f) of Section 65584 and the council of governments makes a finding that the factor is necessary to address significant health and safety conditions.
The presence of a significant number of military jobs in certain jurisdictions was taken in consideration in the development of the draft methodology. Information was sought from representatives of the military branches in the region and the number of on-base housing units provided by the military were taken into account during the development of the methodology. The number of jobs in each jurisdiction with a military base was reduced to account for military jobs housed directly on a base.

Units to be allocated based on the two priority categories (transit and jobs) is determined by multiplying the RHNA Determination Units

Jurisdiction Total Allocation1
Transit
1. The total number of units per jurisdiction assigned within each of the priority categories (transit and jobs) is determined by multiplying the number of units to be allocated for the specific priority category (See Step 1) by each
jurisdiction's share (as a percentage) of the total regional count for each variable and subfactor.
This Calculator Tool is intended to allow stakeholders to try out various methodologies to distribute the total regional housing allocation of: 171,685
3b. If applicable, assign weighting to Jobs subfactors: [If greyed out, skip this step!]
If Variable (b.) "Number of Jobs with a Jobs-Housing adjustment" was selected above, select weighting for "Jobs-Housing Adjustment". The Jobs-Housing Adjustment adjusts a jurisdiction's jobs-based unit allocation (based on
share of regional jobs) up or down based on the relative difference between a jurisdiction's job-housing ratio and the regional ratio. For example, if a jurisdiction has a higher jobs-housing ratio than the region, it would receive a
upward adjustment (higher housing unit allocation).
To avoid an overconcentration of low income households and comply with Government Code 65584 (d), this draft RHNA Allocation Methodology assigns more housing units of an income category to jurisdictions with a
percentage of households in that category that is lower than the regional percentage.

Memorandum of Agreement with City of Imperial Beach: TransNet Debt Financing Program Overview
As permitted by the TransNet Extension Ordinance, the City of Imperial Beach has requested to borrow $1.3 million of commercial paper through the TransNet Debt Financing Program to provide needed funding for the Imperial Beach Boulevard Enhancement Project. The city would use its annually-allocated TransNet Local Street Improvement (LSI) funds for debt repayment and costs associated with the advance funding subject to approval by the Board of Directors and execution of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) (Attachment 1).
Key Considerations
• Based on the 2020 five-year projection, the City has ample capacity (Attachment 2) to cover all debt obligations while continuing to use a portion of its annually-allocated TransNet LSI funds for other scheduled projects.
• The Imperial Beach City Council approved the terms of the MOA and borrowing of up to $1.5 million at its June 5, 2019, meeting (Attachment 3). Since then, the City has requested to remove one of the two projects listed in the resolution, which reduces the borrowing to $1.3 million.
• Using commercial paper on the project will benefit the general public in the projects high-use areas, including 45,000 square feet of new sidewalk and three new pedestrian crossings.
• The project meets all eligibility requirements (Attachment 4) of the TransNet Debt Financing Program.
Next Steps
With Board approval of this request and the 2018 Regional Transportation Improvement Program Amendment No. 5, the Executive Director will execute an MOA with the City of Imperial Beach.

Item: 25
Board of Directors July 26, 2019
Delegation of Approval for Administrative Modifications to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program
Overview
The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is the five-year program of transportation projects in the San Diego region.
Federal guidelines allow the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to approve administrative modifications to the RTIP. Caltrans, in turn, can delegate this authority to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) upon request and allow the MPO to delegate the approval to its Executive Director or designee. (Attachment 1).
Administrative modifications are changes which the federal government considers minor and include:
1. revising a project description without changing the scope;
2. revising funding for a project or phase, including the addition of funding that is limited to the lesser of 40 percent of the total project cost or $10 million;
3. a cost decrease with no limit as long as a phase is still fully funded; and
4. adding or deleting a project from the grouped project listings within the funding limits shown above and other minor changes.
These changes do not require a financial analysis, are available to the public during the review period prior to approval, and are posted on the SANDAG and Caltrans websites once approved. With delegated approval, these minor changes could be made in as little as eight weeks, making funds available an average of ten weeks sooner.
More significant increases, scope changes, and new projects would still need to be through a formal amendment. A formal amendment is posted for a 15-day public comment period, presented to the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) for comments, approved by the Transportation Committee, and ratified by the Board of Directors before being sent to Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for final approval. This process would continue to take about four to six months.
Fiscal Impact:
Delegated approval of administrative modifications would make funds available to member agencies’ projects sooner.
Schedule/Scope Impact:
This action would reduce the time required to make minor changes to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program by an average of 10 weeks.
Action: Adopt
The Transportation Committee recommends that the Board of Directors, acting as the San Diego County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) adopt RTC Resolution No. RTC-2020-01:
1. requesting delegation of approval for administrative modifications to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program; and
2. delegating that approval to the Executive Director.
2
Key Considerations
Delegating authority to the Executive Director would streamline and shorten the process of revising minor changes to the RTIP for most projects, helping local agencies access funds more quickly. It also would result in formal amendments with fewer projects, which would continue to be prepared for Transportation Committee approval, allowing for a more focused review on projects with more significant changes.
This change would result in an amendment to Chapter 2 (Attachment 2) of the 2018 RTIP which was approved by the Board of Directors on September 28, 2018. Updates which reflect the 2015 Ozone Standard Conformity Demonstration, approved by the Board on May 24, 2019, are also included in Chapter 2. Amendments to the chapter, including information on the proposed delegation, were released for public comment on June 12, 2019, as part of Amendment No. 5 and no comments were received. The proposed change in delegation enacted by Resolution No. 2020-01 (Attachment 3) would be amended in Board Policy No. 017 during the annual policy update process.
The ITOC strongly supported this proposal at its June 12, 2019, meeting and recommended that SANDAG continue to notify interested parties when an administrative modification is being prepared and provide a link to view the proposed changes throughout the process.
Next Steps
Pending approval by the Board of Directors, SANDAG would submit a letter to Caltrans requesting delegated authority to allow the Executive Director to approve administrative modifications.

BE IT RESOLVED that the SANDAG Board of Directors, ALSO ACTING AS THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: that the SANDAG Board of Directors accepts the delegation of authority from Caltrans to approve administrative modifications to the RTIP in accordance with the attached FSTIP/FTIP Administrative Modifications and Amendments Procedures and delegates authority to the Executive Director (or designee) to approve administrative modifications to the Federal Transportation Improvement Program on behalf of the Board.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 26th of July 2019.
Ayes Noes Absent
Chair of the Board of Directors
of the San Diego County Regional Transportation Commission
[Seal] Attest
Secretary of the Board of Directors of the San Diego County Regional Transportation
The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a five-year document that reflects funding sources, project phases, and fiscal years of implementation for all transportation-related projects in the San Diego region that: (1) use federal, state, or TransNet funds; (2) increase capacity of the transportation system; or (3) are regionally significant. SANDAG develops the RTIP based on projects included in San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan, as submitted by member agencies (local jurisdictions, transit agencies, Caltrans).
The Board of Directors approved the 2018 RTIP, covering FY 2019 – FY 2023, on September 28, 2018. The 2018 RTIP is fiscally constrained, meaning that sufficient revenue is committed or reasonably assumed to be available from local, state, and/or federal sources for each phase of the project included in the RTIP. Amendments are made to the RTIP on a quarterly (or as-needed) basis to reflect funding or scope changes. Amendment No.5 is a quarterly amendment to the 2018 RTIP.
Key Considerations
Major changes are highlighted in Attachment 2. These changes include the programming of the SANDAG FY 2020 Program Budget approved by the Board of Directors on June 28, 2019, which added $22.4 million in Bike funds and $13 million into the Environmental Mitigation Program. The total increase of $453 million in programming primarily is in prior funds due to the State Route 905 project returning to the RTIP to pay final close-out expenses. Other changes include the programming of $1.3 million in TransNet Commercial Paper for the City of Imperial Beach (Agenda Item No. 20) and a new project, added to the grouped listing for State Highway Operation and Protection Program Mandates, to relinquish a 1.1-mile segment of State Route 75 to the City of San Diego.
Attachment 3 provides the detail of the proposed amendments and the 2018 RTIP in its entirety is available at sandag.org/2018RTIP.
The Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee reviewed the TransNet-funded projects included in Amendment No. 5 on July 10, 2019. No significant comments were received.
Following federal regulations, it has been determined that the 2018 RTIP would remain in compliance with regional plan consistency, emissions, transportation control measure (TCM) implementation, inter-agency consultation and public involvement, fiscal constraint as illustrated in Attachment 4, and performance management requirements upon approval of Amendment No. 5 (Attachment 5). Beginning on May 20, 2019,
Fiscal Impact:
Amendment No. 5 reflects an increase of $453 million to the 2018 Regional Transportation Improvement Program.
Schedule/Scope Impact:

Federal Requirements Analysis for 2018 RTIP Amendment No. 5
Metropolitan Planning and Transportation Conformity The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Metropolitan Planning Regulations1 and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Transportation Conformity Regulations2 establish six criteria requirements which the RTIP must satisfy. The metropolitan planning regulations require that: (1) the RTIP be financially constrained and (2) make progress toward achieving federal performance targets. The transportation conformity regulations state that the RTIP must: (3) be consistent with San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (2015 Regional Plan); (4) meet regional emissions tests; (5) include timely implementation of transportation control measures (TCMs); and 6) include inter-agency consultation and public involvement.
The 2018 RTIP meets all six tests required under federal metropolitan planning and transportation conformity regulations. SANDAG made these findings for the 2018 RTIP under the required federal tests on September 28, 2018. On December 17, 2018, Federal Highways and the Federal Transit Administration jointly found that the 2018 RTIP conforms with the provisions of 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93. Amendment No. 5 continues to meet all federal requirements.
Financial Constraint Test
Federal regulations 23 CFR Section 450.326(j) require the 2018 RTIP to be a revenue-constrained document with programmed projects based upon available or committed funding and/or reasonable estimates of future funding. Chapter 4 of the 2018 RTIP discusses in detail the financial capacity analysis of major program areas, including a discussion of available revenues.
Finding: The projects contained within the 2018 RTIP, including Amendment No. 5, are reasonable when considering available funding sources as demonstrated in Tables 3a through 3c, including a comparison from the prior approved version (changes are highlighted in yellow.)
Performance Management Test
Federal regulations 23 CFR Section 450.326(c) require the 2018 RTIP to be designed such that once implemented, it makes progress toward achieving the performance targets established under 450.306(d) and shall include, to the maximum extent practicable, a description of the anticipated effect of the RTIP toward achieving the performance targets identified in the transportation plan, linking investment priorities to those performance targets. Appendix H of the 2018 RTIP provides information on the projects which support safety and transit asset management performance management requirements. The 2015 Ozone Conformity Demonstration, which was federally approved on June 21, 2019, includes Appendix B. This appendix updates the description of SANDAG’s implementation of Federal Performance Management planning requirements to address the Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measure (PM2) Final Rule and the System Performance, Freight, and CMAQ Performance Measures (PM3) Final Rule as required after the two-year phase-in date of May 20, 2019. This information will be submitted with Amendment No. 5 as an amendment to Appendix H.
88
Attachment 5
Finding: The projects contained within the 2018 RTIP, including Amendment No. 5, make progress toward achieving the 2018 and 2019 performance targets for safety (PM1) established by the Board of Directors, on January 26, 2018 and January 25, 2019 respectively. Progress toward targets will be achieved through investment in projects with the primary purpose of improving safety, active transportation projects, and safety features within larger transportation projects.
Finding: The projects contained within the 2018 RTIP, including Amendment No. 5, make progress toward achieving the 2020 and 2022 performance targets for pavement and bridge condition (PM2) through investment in projects with the primary purpose of improving pavement conditions on the National Highway System. These targets, set by the state, were approved by the Transportation Committee on October 5, 2018
Finding: The projects contained within the 2018 RTIP, including Amendment No. 5, make progress toward achieving the approved performance targets for the system performance, freight, and CMAQ performance measures (PM3) through investment in projects that provide travel choices, promote non-single occupant vehicle travel, reduce excessive delay and pollutant emissions.
Finding: The projects contained within the 2018 RTIP, including Amendment No. 5, make progress toward achieving the 2019 regional performance targets for transit asset management approved by the Board on September 28, 2018. The program includes investments in the four key categories for transit asset management: equipment, facilities, infrastructure, and rolling stock.
Consistency with San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan Test
Finding: The 2018 RTIP, through Amendment No. 5, is consistent with the 2015 Regional Plan adopted in October 2015 (policies, programs, and projects). All projects conform to the scope, cost, and schedule included in the 2015 Regional Plan.
Regional Emissions Tests
These findings are based on the regional emissions analysis tests shown in Table 5-2 in Chapter 5 of the 2018 RTIP and Table 9 of the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard Conformity Demonstration for the 2015 Regional Plan and 2018 RTIP.
Finding: The regional emissions analyses for the 2018 RTIP are an update to the regional emissions analyses for the 2015 Regional Plan.
Finding: The regional emissions analyses included in the 2015 Ozone Standard Conformity Demonstration are an update to the regional emissions analyses for the 2018 RTIP.
Finding: The proposed amendment does not reflect a change in the design, concept, or scope of the projects or the conformity analysis years as modeled for the regional emissions analysis of the 2018 RTIP and 2015 Ozone Standard Conformity Demonstration.
Finding: The 2018 RTIP, including Amendment No. 5, remains in conformance with the applicable State Implementation Plan3 (SIP).
Timely Implementation of TCM Test
Finding: The TCMs, established as Transportation Tactics in the 1982 SIP, have been fully implemented and Amendment No. 5 continues to fund the four TCMs, which include: (1) ridesharing; (2) transit improvements; (3) traffic flow improvements; and (4) bicycle facilities and programs.
89
Inter-Agency Consultation and Public Involvement Test
Finding: The 2018 RTIP complies with all federal and state requirements for public involvement by following the strategies described in Board Policy No. 025: Public Participation Plan Policy. Amendment No. 5 was posted for a 15-day public comment period from June 12, 2019, through July 2, 2019.
Finding: The SANDAG Conformity Working Group (CWG), including members from the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District, Caltrans, California Air Resources Board, SANDAG, U.S. DOT, and U.S. EPA, serve as a forum to meet the federal and state requirements for interagency consultation for the 2018 RTIP. All exempt projects in Amendment No. 5 were submitted to the CWG on June 13, 2019, for its review and members concurred with the exempt categorization.

Appendix H Federal Performance Management
Transportation Performance Management
Introduction
Signed into law in 2012, the federal surface transportation bill Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century Act (MAP-21) included provisions for the establishment of a performance and outcome based
program, which includes national performance goals for the Federal-Aid Highway Program in seven areas:
safety, infrastructure condition, congestion reduction, system reliability, freight movement and economic
vitality, environmental sustainability, and reduced project delivery delays (23 USC 150(b)). This act significantly
advanced the application of performance-based planning and programming in the field of transportation. It
established a system to further inform transportation planning and programming with the unified application
of observed data, performance measures, and performance targets in the areas of safety, asset condition,
and system performance.
The subsequent surface transportation bill, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act continued
these performance provisions. Starting in 2016, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) issued a series of Final Rules to implement the performance provisions of
MAP-21 and FAST Act. These rules establish the protocols, including the timelines, processes, data, and
reporting requirements to comply with the performance provisions. The rules were designed to be applicable
nationwide and to provide meaningful information at regional scales and larger. FHWA released three rules
that are commonly referred to as PM 1 for safety, PM 2 for asset condition, and PM 3 for system
performance, freight movement, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (23 CFR Part 490). FTA released
a transit asset management (TAM) rule establishing procedures to help maintain key transit assets in a state
of good repair. A separate transportation planning rule (23 CFR Parts 450, 771 and 49 CFR Part 613), jointly
released by FHWA and FTA, guides how performance is integrated into planning and programming processes
and documents. This rule states that the regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) shall be
designed such that it “makes progress towards achieving performance targets” and that it includes, “to the
maximum extent practicable, a description of the anticipated effect of the TIP towards achieving the
performance targets.”
In support of these rules, SANDAG has entered into data sharing and target setting coordination agreements
with Caltrans, the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and the North County Transit District (NCTD).
In March 2018, SANDAG and Caltrans signed an addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
on Planning and Programming to meet the performance-based planning and programming requirements
established in MAP-21. In April 2018 SANDAG and Caltrans entered into a data concurrence agreement to
enable the use of mutually agreed upon datasets for target setting purposes. In May 2018 SANDAG, MTS,
and NCTD signed an addendum to the master MOU adding coordination efforts on data collection and
data sharing to support transit asset management regional targets.
92
As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the San Diego region, SANDAG is required to set
targets for the performance measures in these rules. Appendix H of the 2018 RTIP includes the PM 1 2018
safety targets and 2019 regional TAM targets set by SANDAG and a description of efforts underway to help
achieve the established targets. Appendix H has been amended to include the 2019 PM 1 safety targets and
2019 TAM targets, and additionally documents the performance management targets established for PM 2
and PM 3 as well as regional investments which help to support achievement of all of these targets.
PM 1: Transportation Safety
Target Setting Process The target setting process consists of Caltrans, in consultation with California MPOs and the Office of
Transportation Safety, establishing statewide safety targets. The statewide safety target setting process is
informed by safety plans including the Caltrans State Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and Office of Traffic Safety
Highway Safety Plan (HSP). Once Caltrans has established statewide targets, SANDAG has 180 days to take
action to support the statewide targets or develop and support regional targets. PM 1 requires annually
updated targets .
On January 26, 2018, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved supporting the 2018 statewide safety
targets. On January 25, 2019, the Board approved support of the 2019 statewide safety targets established
by Caltrans and continued SANDAG efforts to plan and program projects that will help to contribute to
achievement of the statewide safety targets. Both the 2018 and 2019 statewide safety targets for the PM 1

San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (2015 Regional Plan) and 2018 RTIP Investments The 2015 Regional Plan includes as a policy objective the provision of safe, and secure travel choices. This
policy is supported by the Regional Plan’s Active Transportation Implementation Strategy and Urban Area
Transit Study which include safety strategies for active transportation. For development of the 2018 RTIP,
additional fields were added to the RTIP Database (ProjectTrak) to allow project sponsors to provide project
information related to investments in safety. The 2018 RTIP includes approximately 300 safety related
projects. These projects were identified by the project sponsors and include over $1 billion dollars in
investments for the five-year RTIP program (FY 2019 - FY 2023). Just under half of these projects are
considered categorical safety projects under the conformity rule, with safety improvements being the main
project goal. These safety category projects account for approximately 55 percent of the programmed safety
dollars. The remaining projects include a variety of project categories and include projects where only a
portion of the overall investment includes safety related elements such as the addition of bike lanes as part of
a roadway widening project. Table H-3 summarizes the 2018 RTIP safety investments by project category.

Measures and Methodology The performance measures included in PM 2 are applicable to the National Highway System (NHS). In general
pavement condition for PM 2 is based on roughness, cracking, and rutting for asphalt pavement. Faulting is
used for concrete pavement. The pavement measures are aggregated to lane miles based on measurement
and observation of the curb lane.
Bridge condition is based on engineering assessment of the deck and support structures. The bridge
measures are aggregated to the bridge deck area. This section, including Tables H-5 and H-6, summarizes the
calculation and data sources for each performance measure included in PM 2.
For performance monitoring, pavement is categorized into asphalt, Jointed Concrete Pavement (JCP) and Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP). Each category of pavement is assessed using various rating systems as listed below. The pavement category rating system is included in Table H-6.
• Asphalt: International Roughness Index (IRI), rutting, cracking percent
• JCP: IRI, faulting, cracking percent
• CRCP: IRI, cracking percent

2015 Regional Plan and 2018 RTIP Investments The 2015 Regional Plan includes $204 billion dollars2 for major project expenditures; 21 percent of that is
established for maintenance and operations on highway and local streets and roads. As projects transition
from the Regional Plan and are programmed into the SANDAG RTIP, project sponsors provide information
that allow summary statistics of investments on the NHS. The 2018 RTIP includes investments that are
anticipated to help preserve, maintain, or enhance the condition of NHS facilities. This includes 36 pavement
and 16 bridge projects on the NHS totaling over $620 million dollars. Tables H-7 and H-8 summarize the
investments currently programmed in the 2018 RTIP that support the pavement and bridge performance
Interagency Coordination SANDAG coordinates and collaborates on transportation infrastructure related concerns and projects with
local jurisdictions, Caltrans, and the public through several working groups and committees. The PM 2 targets
on pavement and bridge conditions were developed in coordination with the Transportation Committee,
Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee, and San Diego Regional Traffic Engineer Council. For more
information on these groups see Interagency Coordination under PM 1: Transportation Safety.
Target Achievement and Future Target Setting On October 5, 2018, the Transportation Committee approved supporting the 2020 and 2022 statewide
pavement and bridge condition targets, established by Caltrans. Once the full performance period has
elapsed FHWA will determine if California has made significant progress toward meeting the pavement and
bridge condition targets. SANDAG continues to collaborate with Caltrans, FHWA, and other California MPOs
on the monitoring of progress towards targets.
PM 3: System Performance, Freight, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Target Setting Process PM 3 consists of six performance measures that support three federal programs, National Highway Performance Program (NHPP), freight movement, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ). The target setting process and timeframe is specific to each of these programs. This section summarizes the target setting timeframes, processes, and performance periods for the performance measures included in PM 3.
Three of the performance measures included in PM 3 allow SANDAG and all MPOs the option of supporting the state department of transportation’s targets or developing regional targets. For these performance measures, SANDAG chose to support the statewide targets. These measures include: percent of reliable person-miles traveled on the interstate, percent of reliable person-miles traveled on the non-interstate NHS, and percent of interstate system mileage providing reliable truck travel time.
The performance measure related to total emissions reductions by applicable pollutants under the CMAQ Program allows MPOs to establish regional targets based on emissions anticipated to be reduced from CMAQ-funded projects.
For the following two performance measures Caltrans and SANDAG are required to establish a single, unified target for the urbanized area within the SANDAG planning area. Figure H-1 shows SANDAG’s Urbanized Area.
• Annual Hours of Peak-Hour Excessive Delay per Capita
• Percent of Non-Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) Travel

The target setting timeframes for PM 3 performance measures vary by the associated federal program.
Table H-9 summarizes the target setting dates for each of the PM 3 performance measures. On October 5, 2018,
the SANDAG Transportation Committee approved supporting the statewide targets for system performance,
freight, and CMAQ established by Caltrans in accordance with the FAST Act.
The CMAQ emissions reduction measure four-year performance period follows the federal fiscal year and
spans from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2021. The remaining performance measures follow the follow
the calendar year, starting in January 1, 2018, and ending December 31, 2021.

Measures and Methodology For the reliable person miles traveled performance measures the Level of Travel Time Reliability (LOTTR) is first
calculated for each applicable roadway segment for four time periods. 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. during weekends. The LOTTR is the 80th percentile
travel time divided by the 50th percentile travel time. The LOTTR is weighed by the facility segment length,
annual traffic volume, and vehicle occupancy value.
Freight movement is assessed by a Truck Travel Time Reliability (TTTR) Index. Reporting is divided into five
periods: morning peak (6 to 10 a.m.), midday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and afternoon peak (4 to 8 p.m.) Mondays
through Fridays; weekends (6 a.m. to 8 p.m.); and overnights for all days (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The TTTR ratio is
generated by dividing the 95th percentile time by the normal time (50th percentile) for each segment. Then,
the TTTR Index is generated by multiplying each segment’s largest ratio of the five periods by its length, then
dividing the sum of all length-weighted segments by the total length of Interstate.
The Annual Hours of Peak Hour Excessive Delay per Capita is the amount of time spent in congested
conditions, which are defined as conditions that result in excess delay at speeds of 20 miles per hour (mph) or
60 percent of the posted speed limit, whichever is greater. Travel time data is aggregated in 15-minute
intervals per vehicle. The morning period is 6 to 10 a.m. on weekdays. The afternoon period is 3 to 7 p.m. or
4 to 8 p.m., providing flexibility to State DOTs and MPOs.
Additional details on the methodology used in calculating the six performance measures included in PM 3 are
summarized in Table H-11.

2015 Regional Plan and 2018 RTIP Investments A foundational element of the 2015 Regional Plan is the continued development of a regional transportation
system that provides multimodal transportation options to the traveling public. Fostering travel choices
between the places where people live, work, and play supports travel time reliability, promotes non-SOV
travel, and reduces excessive delay and pollutant emissions. Of the nearly $16 billion dollars programmed in
the 2018 RTIP $7.2 billion dollars are programmed for multimodal facilities, transit, active transportation,
transportation systems and demand management including over $44 million in the region’s rideshare
programs.
Interagency Coordination SANDAG coordinates and collaborates on transportation infrastructure related concerns and projects with
local jurisdictions, Caltrans, and the public through established working groups and committees. The PM 3
targets on System Performance, Freight, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality were developed in
coordination with the Transportation Committee, Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee, and
San Diego Regional Traffic Engineer Council. For more information on these groups see Interagency
Coordination under PM 1: Transportation Safety.
Target Achievement and Future Target Setting At the end of the performance period, FHWA will determine if California has made significant progress
toward meeting the targets established for Interstate and non-Interstate NHS travel time reliability and freight
reliability measures. SANDAG continues to collaborate with Caltrans, FHWA, and other California MPOs on
105
the monitoring of progress towards targets. At the midpoint of the four-year performance period, SANDAG,
Caltrans and other California MPOs will evaluate progress towards achieving the 2022 targets. At the
midpoint, MPOs and Caltrans can elect to update the 2022 target.
Data for the travel time reliability measures under PM 3 will become available on an annual basis and inform
agencies on progress toward performance targets. SANDAG, Caltrans and member jurisdictions have
significantly invested in projects that are anticipated to support the achievement of PM 3 targets.
Transit Asset Management
Target Setting Process There are two types of targets for Transit Asset Management (TAM), provider targets, and regional targets.
The SANDAG planning area includes two providers of public transportation subject to this target setting
requirement, the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and North County Transit District (NCTD). The
provider targets are established by MTS and NCTD separately for their service area during the development of
their four-year TAM Plan. The provider targets are updated annually. MPOs, in coordination with providers,
are responsible for developing regional TAM targets. MPOs are required to set TAM targets with each update
of their Regional Transportation Plan.
The TAM Final Rule includes four asset categories: equipment, facilities, infrastructure, and rolling stock.
There is one performance measure for each asset category. Each asset category may contain several asset
types which are calculated separately. Regional TAM targets are required for each asset type. The
performance measures are calculated such that a value of zero indicates that the asset type is in a state of
good repair. The 2019 regional TAM targets are shown in Table H-12.

Notes: 1 Useful Life Benchmark (ULB) is a value used with lifecycle cost to assess when an asset costs more to maintain
than to replace. MTS and NCTD used the same ULB.
2 TERM is a five-point scale (1-5) with one signifying poor condition and five excellent.
To coordinate the development of regional TAM targets, MTS and NCTD provided SANDAG with their
respective target values and inventory quantities by asset type. MTS and NCTD target and inventory values
were applied in developing regional TAM targets using a weighted average calculation.3
3 The calculation involved multiplying each provider’s target by their inventory. The results were added together, divided
by the sum of the inventories, and multiplied by 100.
107
Measures and Methodology The performance measures and their calculations are specified in the TAM Final Rule. Additionally, the asset
types that are included in each asset category are established by FTA and detailed in the FTA Asset Inventory
Module. The infrastructure asset category assesses performance restrictions on rail segments. A performance
restriction exists when the permissible speed is less than the guideway’s full-service speed. For more details
on infrastructure performance refer to the FTA Performance Restriction (Slow Zone) Calculation.
2015 Regional Plan and 2018 RTIP Investments The 2015 Regional Plan includes $204 billion dollars4 in transportation investments; 50 percent of that is for
transit consisting of 29 percent for transit capital and 21 percent for transit operations and maintenance.
Transit capital investments include construction of transit facilities and procurement of transit fleet vehicles.
Transit operations and maintenance includes costs associated with running the transit system, repairs, and
preventative maintenance. The 2018 RTIP was reviewed for projects sponsored by SANDAG, MTS and NCTD
that include elements that corresponded to a TAM asset category as shown in Table B-13. The 2018 RTIP
includes over 40 projects totaling more than $2 billion dollars in support of TAM targets.
