INCORPORATION OF A LIST OF PROJECTS FUNDED BY SB 1: THE
ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
(Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the California legislature and signed into law by the
Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi -modal transportation funding shortfalls
statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the
residents of the City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which
projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must include a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from
the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, in the City budget,
which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule
for the project's completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City, will receive an estimated $313,000 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2017-18 from SB 1 and up to $834,400 in FY 2018-19; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into
our community's transportation priorities, and budgeting process that has been adopted by City
Council that includes a full listing of Capital Improvements Projects and funding sources including
SB -1; and
WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System and other goals such as the
complete streets elements and bicycle and pedestrian safety to develop the SB 1 project list to
ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet
the community's priorities for transportation investment; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate
streets/roads, and add active transportation infrastructure throughout the City this year and similar
projects into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment
found that the County of San Luis Obispo's streets and roads are in an "at -risk" condition but the
City of San Luis Obispo's streets and roads are in a "good" condition, regardless this revenue will
help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade and make critical
improvements to transportation that will assist in greenhouse gas emission reductions and active
transportation safety; and

WHEREAS, if the Legislature and Governor failed to act, continued reductions in the
State gas tax as well as lack of indexing of the federal and State gas tax to key indicators such as
inflation has reduced available revenue to the City for these purposes; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets and roads
in California, and people are dependent upon a safe, reliable local transportation network; and
WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system, incorporating complete street
elements and improving active transportation facilities provides well -paying construction jobs and
boosts local economies; and
WHEREAS, the local street and road and active transportation system is critical for farm
to market needs, interconnectivity, multimodal needs, greenhouse gas emission reductions and
commerce, and
WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good condition
will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian
experience safer and more appealing, which leads to reduce vehicle emissions helping the State
achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads
infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets
infrastructure and active transportation projects, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and
