RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt a resolution endorsing Propositions 111 (SCA 1) and 108 to increase funding for transportation purposes and to adjust the methodology for computing the appropriation limit for State and local government-(Attachment 1) . 2. Adopt a resolution endorsing Proposition 116, which will allocate funds for rail related transportation projects (Attachment 2) . DISCUSSION: Background On March 16, 1990 the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council (SLOACC) approved resolutions in support of Propositions 111 (SCA 1) and 116. The SLOACC also directed Area Council staff to solicit endorsements for these propositions from members agencies. SLOCAA's formal request for City support, along with descriptions of the propositions, are provided in Attachment 3. Additional background information prepared by the CAO is provided as Attachment 4. Attachment 7 has been prepared by the "Yes on 111 i and 108" organization and includes a listing of current supporters of the propositions. (Note: While SLOACC did not specifically request support for Proposition 108, staff has included this proposition in the resolution since it provides the funding mechanism necessary to support the rail programs established by Proposition 111. ) Limitations and Reasons to Support the Propositions Included in the attached materials are descriptions of the numerous ways in which propositions will affect the state and local transportation system. Specific projects in San Luis Obispo County for which funding will become available if Proposition 111 is passed are identified, including improvements to Routes 46 and 41. However, in terms of specific projects and future transportation programs, the proposed legislation is much more favorable to urban counties and larger cities. In addition, the propositions have been crafted to acquire support from a broad coalition of interests, including the California Taxpayers' Association, the League of Women Voters, the Governor, and organizations iilll city of San Luis OBISpo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Agenda Report Page Two representing the education, business, local government, and law enforcement communities. Therefore, from any one perspective, the propositions undoubtedly include elements which are not entirely satisfactory. However, from a larger statewide perspective, staff believes the propositions should be supported. In addition, particularly with respect to the appropriation limitation adjustments, staff believes there are significant benefits to be derived for the City of San Luis Obispo. In summary, staff recommends adoption of resolutions in support of the propositions for the following reasons: • The methodology for computing state and local government appropriation limits needs to be changed As outlined in a May 1989 memorandum prepared by the Finance Director as a part of the development of the 1989-91 Financial Plan (Attachment 5) , the City is expected to exceed its appropriation limit by FY 1991-92. This projection excludes any changes in tax rates, such as the proposed increase in the transient occupancy tax or any "1/2 sales tax" initiative. Increases in these areas would only accelerate the timeframe for reaching our limit, and would therefore preclude using the increased revenues for their intended purposes. The adjustments in computing the appropriation limit will allow state government and local governments to benefit from economic growth and to have more flexibility in meeting pressing needs - many of which were not anticipated at the time the original appropriation limit was established in 1979 (e.g. , increased jail capacity; increased educational facilities; homeless needs; costs related to AIDS research, testing, and health care; open space acquisition; D.A.R.E. and other drug prevention programs) . The Finance Director has prepared a memorandum evaluating the general impact of Proposition 111 on the City's appropriation limit (Attachment 5) . • The State's inability to cope with increasing public and social service needs las a result of the existing limitation) ultimately places great demands on cities: demands which cities are generally unable to meet For example, State cutbacks in social program support severely limits what counties can do. As a result, cities such as San Luis Obispo are receiving more and more requests to deal with such issues as the homeless, battered women, and other social service needs. a-Z �� ►�IIIIIIIIIpn�'����DI city of san lues osispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Agencia Report Page Three • With respect to transportation and highways the State of California has gone from being one of the most progressive states in the nation to one of the most "gridlocked" states in the nation. This has had a significant effect on the overall economy and productivity of the state. In addition, the deficiencies in the major metropolitan areas have placed substantial growth pressures on more rural areas, such as San Luis Obispo County. • Although a substantial amount of the funds will be used to increase roadway capacity other funds are specifically earmarked for programs to relieve traffic congestion without adding traffic lanes, including improved transit, rail, and safety programs. • As a result of the gas tax increase. the City will receive an additional subvention of approximately $250.000 which can be used to maintain existing city streets. This will help the City provide a stronger transit program without underfunding our street maintenance requirements. CONCURRENCES: The Public Works Director, Finance Director, and Transit Manager concur with the staff recommendation. CONCLUSION: In summary, the State and its local governments need increased flexibility and the ability to use additional resources in order to cope with numerous demands - demands in addition to only transportation related needs. While Propositions 111, 108, and 116 are not a "perfect solution", they do represent a significant improvement over the status quo and are recommended for support by the City Council. ALTERNATIVE: The City Council can go on record in opposition to the propositions or remain neutral on the matter. Staff does not recommend this alternative. In particular, if the appropriation limit adjustment does not pass in June, it is likely that the City will reach its appropriation limitation prior to the time that the City would wish to retain a status quo service level. Based on Council approved policy (page B-9 of the 1989-91 Financial Plan) , the City will then "seek a vote of the public to amend its appropriation limit at such time that tax proceeds are in excess of allowable limits." This approach will be both costly and complicated. �3 �► ►►�Illll��p�������IIII city of San LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Agenda Report Page Four ATTACffiKBNTS: 1.

The Area Council also approved staff's recamnendation to distribute the staff reports and resolutions to member jurisdictions for endorsement. Enclosed please find the following items: * Staff report on SCA 1 * Resolution on SCA 1 * Staff report on Proposition 116 * Resolution on Proposition 116 SCA 1, if approved by the voters in June, will increase the state gas tax by nine cents and truck weight fees by 55% to provide bzxllM to meet California's grading transportation needs. Cities should expect a local fuel subvention increase of approximately $6.00 per capita. If SCA 1 is not approved by the voters, existing STIP projects noted in the enclosed staff report an SCA 1 will be delayed well into the decade arra no funding will be available for new highway projects. Proposition 116, if approved by the voters in June, will provide $1990 million statewide, primarily for rail projects. San Luis Obispo county would receive approximately $10 million for rail and public transportation projects. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions regarding either of these propositions please contact me at 549-5714. Sincerely, i Ronald L.

It has been described as the most significant public firm= and budget legislation of the decade. The primary purpose of the aimer&aent is to increase the state gas tax by nine omits and truck weight fees by 55% to provide fin ding to meet California's gmWing ttansportation needs. If passed, net revenues statewide frcmm the tax and fee increases will generate as estimated $15.5 billion during the ten year period from July 1, 1990 to June 30, 2000. Its passage will guarantee funding for approadmately $16 million 1 i rn, for currently programmed State Highway projects in San Luis Cbispo county, give a high probability of funding for another $71 million for high priority, longer range state gftmY pro]eats and puede Q, atant'ial funds for local road projects. i Staff: a) Approve Attached Resolution Endorsing SCS, 1 (Prop. 111) b) Authorize Distribution of Staff Report and a Draft Resolution to Member Jurisdictions for Endorsement TTAC: CTAC: DISCUSS The State of California is facing a severe shortage of funis to pay for current arra long term transportation iaquwements. The Governor and Legislature have agreed on SCA 1 as a significant means of raising the necessary flmding. The program, including $3 billion in bands for passenger rail transportation, would raise a total of $18.5 billion over- ten years for the following programs: . 1. $3.5 billion to fund the dmrtall in the ming state higIrway capital lq=vvment program. These funds will guarantee the state share of already programmed STIP projects. 2. $1.25 billion for interregional roads in rural counties. Caltrans' proposed plan limits funding under this program to improvements for Route 101, Route 46 East and Route 41 West. A-3-1 3. $3.0 billion for passenger rail transit projects thrazlicut the state. San Luis Obispo County has no rail projects included in the plan. U 4. $3.0 billion for flexible congestion relief, one of the only programs San Luis Obispo County can apply for, will provide funding ona competitive basis for any capacity atmioement project designed to reduce or eliminate traffic c ngesU n, including on local roads and mass transit guideway improvements. S. $1.0 billion for the Highway Systems Operation and Protection Plan (HSOPP) for maintenance, rehabilitation, safety and minor projects on state highways, programmed by Caltrans. Miese funds count against finding allocated to the region and thereby reduce funding for new capital projects. 6. $1.0 billion for Traffic System Management (TSI) projects which are limited to urban counties. 7. $2.0 billion for state-local tri-amportati.on partnership program which is largely limited to counties that have Passed'a local option sales tax increase for transportation improvements. 8. $3.0 billion for annual subventions to cities and counties, based on population to the cities and an apportionment formula to the counties. This would provide an estimated total of $935,000 in the first year and up to $2.1 million in the tenth year for San Luis Obispo County. n 9. $100 mi l l i m- ($10 million l ion annually) for envirortmental enhancement J projects on a statewide grant basis. 10. $650 million for construction of sourdwalls and public transit in urban counties. The funding programs of SCA 1 largely limit the opportunity for this cotnty to receive any substantial additional state funding for a wide range of necessary highway improvements (such as additional interchange improvements, passing lanes, bypasses, widenings) without a significant local fond contribution. Moreover, they provide only nominal state relief for local street and road maintenance and construction. Passage of SCA 1 will, however, guarantee designated "Canty Minim=" State highway funds for San Luis Obispo county and the state share of finding for currently pmograimned State Highway projects in San Luis Obispo County, includuq: 1. Expansion and inWovement of the Oak Park Road Interchange ($3.4 million) ; 2. Construction of --passing In on Route 46 East fry Airport Road to the East Junction of 41/46 ($3.3 million) ; 3. A real igrment of Route 41 East from Route 101 to the Salinas River in Atascadero ($3.3 million) ; �} A-3-2 4. Expansion and improvement of the Tefft Street intex -mage in Nipcmo ($2 million) : 5. Expansion and improvement of the 4th Street/5 Cities Drive interchange in Pismo Beach ($2 million) ; 6. A curve improvement project on Route 1 at Callendar Black rake Road near Nipamo ($2 million) . In addition, Caltrans has noted that there are several other longer range, high priority state highway projects in San Luis Obispo County which will have a high probability of being funded, including: 1. Construction of a northbound truck climbing lane. on Cuesta Grade ($26 million) . 2. Additional_ widening of Route 46 East to four lanes from Airport Road to almond Drive ($22 million) 3. Construction of passing lanes on Route 41 tbetween Monro Bay and Atascadero ($3 million) . 4. Widening of Route 101 to six lanes in the south county between Grand Avenue and the Fourth Street/5 Cities Drive ($20 million) . The attached resolution will be sent to all local jurisdictions in the Canty asking for their endorsement and various lobby groups throughout i . the State for their use in promoting the measure. i Staff Report Prepared by Mike Harte, 2-28-90 A-3-3 3s// SAN IDIS OBISPO ARFA 00ORDIN2GING COUNCIL RESOIITPION NO. 90-01 RESOLLY171ON END RSING PROPOSITION 111 (SCA 1) THE TRAFFIC CATION REM.'QE' AND SPENDING I M'MMON ACT OF 1990 The following Resolution is now offered and reads: VREMAS, the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council concurs that the State of California faces serious fiscal policy problems which threaten the critical areas of education, tiansportaticn, health services, law enforcement, senior programs and other taxpayer services thereby endangering the states's current and future economic health; and SSS, SCA 1 would alter. the Gann spending limit to allow the state greater flexibility in making use of all available revenues generated by California's strong economy; and WMUAS, SCA 1 would allow the state to raise the gasoline tax and truck weight fees as approved in SB 300 and AB 471 (1989) to provide increased funding for maintenance and improvement of highway arra mass transit projects without reducing funds for other state programs; and WWZEASI SCA 1 would.provide approximately $16 million to fund a=wtly pr meed State Highway projects, another $71 million for other necessary long term transportation improvements in San Luis Obispo County, an increase in gas tax subventions to local jurisdictions, an envi r ar manta l enhancement grant fund, and provide a guarantee of C=-rty Minim= funding pursuant to Section 188 of the Streets arra Highways Code; arra WHEREAS; SCA 1 would continue the guarantee of Proposition 98 that 1 K-12 and the comimmi, colleges receive 40% of the st.,_ , budget; and VaU REAS, without a change in the Gann spending limit, it will be impossible to maintain and improve local streets and roads arra state highways; and WMEAS, SCA 1 is supported by a broad coalition including Governor George DeW=jian, State Superintendent of Schools Bill Honig, California Taxpayers Association, California League of Women Voters, California Association of Highway Patrolmen, California School Boards Association, _ County Supervisors Association of California, California Transportation Association, California Qiember of Q=eree, League of California Cities, University of California Board of Regents, California State University Board of Trustees, and many others; and WHEREAS, redbi�5on in the state's traffic congestion will require substantial invest vents in alternative methods of transportation including the expansion and construction of. mass transit facilities; NOW, ZHEREFWE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council does hereby endorse the passage of Proposition 111 (SCA 1) , The Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending Limitation Act of 1990 on the June 1990 ballot.

He stated that we need to take some bold step, that we need to improve our transportation network. He said that Propositions 108 and 111 would provide $18 and one-half billion over ten years which, in addition to roadway improvements, would be used to expand transit, to improve the railroad system, and to increase the effectiveness of Caltrans. He cited the revenue-raising capacity of both the transit bond program and increasing the truck fees. He said that spending for the State transportation improvements would cost 16 cents per day per resident of California. Dick Woodward is a member of the advertising agency which will be promoting Propositions 111 and 108. He said that an excellent ten- minute video has been done for our use (the League will notify us as to its availability) . He said that we're asking for a tax increase, and that is not a popular situation. The public is willing to approve a tax that is going to help them. What they want to know is where is the money going, what is it going to do? He says that they are creating a statewide campaign that will have a local flavor. He added that the more specific we get as to what we are going to do with the money, the more we point out the benefits, the better we will do in the campaign. When people understand what's involved, we'll do surprisingly well. He said that we can't buy this election through the paid media, that we 'have to have local support and maximize use of the free media. He said, "You need not worry about being on the wrong side of this issue, " that polling (over sampling in certain counties) gives more support for a 9-cent gas tax than for a 5-cent gas tax. Voters understand the magnitude of the problem. The two propositions represent a unique package, for the first time gas tax will go for something other than pouring concrete. We have learned that we can't build ourselves out of our transportation dilemma. He said that rail transit will be an important part of the package. The local level will have decision-making power over how this money gets allocated. He said that cynicism toward government in ;3-z6 general, at all levels, people not trusting politicians, must be addressed, that we need accountability language, which is being placed in trailer legislation. He said that Propositions 111 and 108 are very complex initiatives, that they are based on some grand compromises in Sacramento. He said that in order to win, we have to talk transportation, even though there are other items in the initiative package. He said that it is important that we don't lose focus with the public, making it sound too complex; he said, "Transportation is -where the electorate is, and where the media is."

Statler, Director of Finance SUBJECT: REVIEW OF THE CITY'S APPROPRIATION LIMIT GAO RECO bMATION Receive and file this report on the City's appropriation limit. OVERVIEW The purpose of this report is to review the status of the City's appropriation limit and to discuss the implications of projected treads. The following are key findings from the City's Comprehensive Financial Management Plan (which will be formally presented to the City Council at its May 24, 1989 meeting on budget issues) regarding the City's appropriation limit: • The City's favorable variance from its limit has decreased significantly since the base year of 1978-79. • A favorable variance from the limit of $1.4 million is projected for 1988-89. • Projected.growth in the City's.tax base (exclusive of any changes in tax rates such as Transient Occupancy Taxes) will cause the City to exceed its appropriations limit by 1991-92. BACKGROUND The Gann Spending-Limitation Initiative was approved -by the voters on November b, 1979 (establishing Article XIIIB of the State Constitution), which provided for the limitation of state and local governmental appropriations. As discussed in the following summary of the major provisions of the Gann Initiative as they relate to the City of San Luis Obispo, the Gann Initiative is actually a limitation on tax revenues rather than a direct limitation on appropriations: • Appropriations subject to limitation may not exceed appropriations made in 1978-79 except as adjusted for increases in the cost of living, population, and service responsibility transfers. Increases in the cost of living are defined as the lesser of the changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index or California Personal Per Capita Income. • Appropriations financed through service fees (to the degree that they do not .. exceed the budgeted cost of performing the service), grant programs, fines and forfeitures, and other 'non-tax• sources as defined by the Initiative and SB 1352, are not subject to the Appropriations Limit. Additionally, appropriations for long-term indebtedness incurred prior to FY 1978-79 as well as increased costs as a result of federally-mandated programs are also excluded from the limit. Essentially, with the exception of expenditures for debt service incurred prior to FY 1978-79, all appropriations funded through the proceeds of taxes are subject to limitation. • For the purposes of identifying proceeds from taxes under the Gann Initiative, state subventions which are unrestricted as to their use (such as Motor Vehicle ATTACHMENTS city o f sar"-_ uis oBlspo Mai COUNCIL AGENOA REPORT and Cigarette Tax In-Lieu revenues) are considered to be tax sources. Gas Tax, Local Transportation Fund, and SB 300 subventions are identified as non-tax .sources as their use is restricted by the State. • All proceeds from taxes received in excess of the Appropriations Limit must be returned through refunds or revisions in taxrates or fee schedules within the next two fiscal years; or approval by the voters of an increase in the City's Appropriations Limit would be required. Any voter approved increase in the ! Appropriations Limit would be valid fora maximum of four years and would ! require another vote at the end of that period for continuance. • The Gann Initiative is self-executing"; to the extent feasible, local agencies are expected to implement the initiative without further legislative direction (other than SB 1352) or administrative auditing by the State. The Appropriations Limit computations and subsequent implementation of these limits is the sole responsibility of the City, and no formal review by another governmental agency is required. • Major concepts in implementing the Gann Initiative include: appropriations funded through tax sources are subject to the limit, not actual expenditures; and any excess of actual tax revenues over the Appropriations Limit, not actual expenditures or appropriations, must be returned. FINDINGS Provided in Attachment A.is a summary of the City's Appropriations Limit and actual proceeds from taxes subject to limitation from 1978-79 (the base year) through 1987-88 along with projections for 1988-89 through 1999-00 These projections have been made based on the following assumptions: • Annual increases in the cost of living of 5%. • Population increases consistent with the General Plan of approximately 1% annually beginning with 1990-91. • Real growth in the tax base of approximately 6% annually based on historical j trends over the past 10 years. As reflected by Attachment A and the graphic summary provided in Attachment B, the City's variance from its limit has consistently declined since the base ,year (1978-79), and the limit is projected to be exceeded by 1991-92. This timetable would be negatively impacted by the proposed increase of 2% to 3% in the Transient Occupancy Tax, which is estimated to generate between $400,000 to $600,000 in additional revenues subject to limitation. The impact of the Gann Initiative on local government finance is emerging as a critical issue throughout the State. Ultimately, any community which is experiencing real growth in its local economy will be faced with exceeding its appropriations limit. To date, 60 agencies have sought an override election. All overrides that were not linked to an increase in tax rates have been successful; .and 63% of all overrides related to tax increases have been successful. C� city of sa— luis mispo COUNCIL AGENDA PEPOFM POTENTIAL.MODIFICATIONS TO THE GANN LIMIT In November of 1988, several ballot initiatives aimed at changing the Gann Appropriations Limit to better accommodate economic growth were submitted for voter approval. These initiatives were sponsored or supported by a number of groups including the League of I California Cities, County Supervisors Association, the University and College Systems, California Tax Payers Association (Cal Tax), National Association of Realtors, the Chamber of Commerce and others. Several of these supporters were the initial authors of the Gann Initiative in 1979. All of these initiatives were narrowly defeated. Presently, a coalition referred to as 'Project 90' and led by the California Tax Payers Association is developing a legislative measure which would modify Article XIIIB of the I Gann appropriation limit and its effect on State and local government. Their analysis indicates its impact is not what was originally contemplated by the 1979 authors and, in fact, compromises economic growth and entrepreneurial actions by public jurisdictions. The Project 90 coalition presently includes Cal Tax, the California Chamber of Commerce, representatives of major public employee organizations, the University and College Systems, and the medical and health industry. As presently drafted, the Project 90 proposal is consistent with the League of California Cities$ policy of favoring modifications to Gann which better accommodate economic growth and allows for the length of voter overrides to be determined in the ballot measure. I Several sources indicate there is strong legislative support for the Project 90 proposal. However, should the proposal not be approved by the legislature, the coalition is prepared to pursue a ballot initiative in June of 1990. i RECOMMENDED GANN POLICIES ,I I The Comprehensive Financial Management Plan includes the following recommendations regarding the City's appropriations limit: 1. The City shall strive to develop revenue sources, both new and existing, which are considered non-tax proceeds and, therefore, not restricted by the expenditure limitation. 2 The City shall annually review user fees and charges and report to the City Council the amount of program subsidy, if any, that is being provided by the General or Enterprise Funds. 3. The City shall seek a vote of the public to amend its appropriations limit at such time that tax proceeds are in excess of allowable limits. 4. The City shall actively support League of California sponsored or supported legislation or initiatives which would. modify Article XIIIB of the Constitution in a manner which would allow the City to retain projected tax revenues resulting from growth in the local economy for use as determined by the City Council.

Statler, Director of Finance V/ SUBJECT: FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF PROPOSITION I I I The following is a brief summary of the impacts of Proposition III (SCA 1) as it affects the City's: ■ Appropriations Limit 7 Gas Tax Revenues Appropriations Limit Modifications Passage of proposition I I I will positively impact the calculation of the City's Appropriations Limit. As discussed with the Council during the 1989-91 Financial Plan preparation process, the effect of the initiative (Proposition 4 - Gann Spending Limit) which established the concept of appropriation limitation is to limit the City's tax revenues to 1978-79 levels except as adjusted for increases in population and cost of living. Under current procedures for calculating the appropriations limit,it is projected that the City will exceed its Appropriations Limit by Fiscal Year 1991-92. Although the quantitative impact of Proposition 111 on the City's Appropriation Limit can not be calculated at this time, the following features are included in its provisions which are favorable to the City: ■ Increases in the limit due to changes in population can be based on either the percentage increase in the City's population or the County-wide population, whichever is greater. ■ Increases in the limit due to changes in the "cost of living" will be based on the percentage increase in personal income. Currently, an increase in the "cost of living" is defined as the Ila=of changes in the consumer price index (CPI) or personal income. Historically, changes in personal income have been greater than changes in the CPI. ■ Appropriations for capital improvements and acquisitions with a cost of $100,000 or greater and a life in excess of 10 years are excluded from the Appropriations Limit. It is anticipated that guidance will be received from a broad variety of sources (State Controller, State Department of Finance, League of California Cities, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers) regarding the procedures to be followed in calculating the City's Appropriations Limit if Proposition 111 is adopted. Until that time, it is not possible to accurately calculate the specific impact of Proposition 1 I I on the City's Appropriations Limit. However,it can be anticipated that the proposed,revisions will significantly improve the City's position relative to its current Appropriations Limit as calculated under existing constitutional and legislative provisions. ATTACHMENT 6 Gas Tax Revenues i With the additional gas tax revenues permitted under Proposition 111,subventions to cities and counties from this revenue source are projected to increase by approximately $6.00 per capita. For the City of San Luis Obispo, this will result in approximately $250,000 annually in additional revenues. This revenue increase is especially valuable in light of the results of the City's long-term financial planning efforts which indicate the need for additional revenues if current service levels are to be maintained and capital facility goals achieved. Specifically, the additional revenues would address two key issues: ■ Under the City's Pavement Management Plan adopted in February of 1988, the level of funding allocated to street resurfacing and reconstruction has increased by approximately$370,000 annually(from$250,000 to$620,000). The additional $250,000 in street-related funds can be used to offset a significant portion of this increase. ■ The additional revenues are excluded from the City's Appropriations Limit. SUMMARY Although the exact impact of Proposition 1.11 is difficult to project, it will positively affect the City's long-term financial health in two key areas: E Improve the City's variance from its Appropriations Limit. E Generate additional revenues($250,000 annually)to offset higher levels of street maintenance previously approved by Council.

YES ON 111&108 THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON IT! Propositions 111 & 108 are Good for the Ewdwriment! Propositions 111 and 108 will.improve the quality of life and the environment in California and will begin the reorientation of our transportation system towards rail and transit They represent a dramatic change in direction in our state transportation policy;a growing awareness of the critical relationship between our transportation systems and the environment and 'a commitment to better managing growth and getting more people off our highways and onto safe,clean and environmentally sound alternatives. Proposition .111 — the Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending Limitation Act — outlines a comprehensive blueprint to move California into the 21st Century. It contains two major components: 1) an update of the government spending limitation;and 2)an innovative transportation package. A Visionary Transportation Package: - Traffic congestion has become unbearable and is expected to get worse— two and three times as bad in the next 10 years! And its impact on the environment is becoming more visible than ever. Vehicles traveling in bumper-to-bumper traffic spew out three times the pollutants as those traveling at maximum legal speeds. Propositions 111 and 108 outline a far-reaching, innovative and comprehensive transportation blueprint Together,these measures represent the largest commitment of funds to rail transit ever before proposed in the State of California. A total of$85 billion—more than one-half of the total proposed new project dollars—will be available for new building,expansion and operation of transit systems throughout the state. The measures will raise$18.5 billion over the next ten years which will be expended as follows: • $3 billion bonds — Exclusively for expansion of commuter, intercity and urban rail transit corridors, including: new commuter rail along major Southern California corridors; BART extensions;light rail extensions in Sacramento,Santa Clara and San Diego; new rail transit lines in Los Angeles;and intercity rail throughout the state. •$500 million—Direct transit operating subsidies.This doubles the current state support for transit operations and provides a critical margin for local transit systems. Currently, the state is providing no operating and only some capital subsidies for transit e$5 billion—Competitive between highway and rail. For the first time in California history, there will be competition at the regional and local levels between rail and highways. This part of the package provides a tremendous opportunity for effective local advocacy for transit alternatives. ($3 billion in "flexible congestion relief"funds which local governments must use to reduce traffic and air pollution. $2 billion in state matching funds for local projects.) • $35 billion — Complete already-approved transit and highway projects contained in the State Transportation Improvement Program. i YES ON 11,a 1088111 Anza80u"ara.sude.M.aosngame.CA 96010 a 0/51340400 FAX l::5j343-392 7 1u00 vied 0wrac 9axvara.Sure 276.Los AngeKs.CA 90064 012131 aa54W5 FAA 1211+45.8800 1121 L Sued.S de 1000.S=Ml erso.CA 95614 8(916)44+•8060.FAX(9161446.710A f� • $1 billion — Expansion of carpooling, promotion of staggered business hour programs, signal synchronization and other traffic flow improvements.These innovative programs will improve air quality and gas mileage by maximizing the efficiency of the existing system,without adding any new lanes. • $250 million — Environmental enhancement and mitigation and soundwalls retrofitting. For urban forestation and other evironmental mitigation measures to ease the environmental effects of transportation facilities. •$4 billion—Earthquake safety,rehabilitation and maintenance.$1 billion at the state level and $3 billion for cities and counties. •$125 billion—Interregional (mostly rural) road improvements. Where will these new fiusds come from? Proposition 111 will raise the fuel tax by 9 cents per gallon.That's about a$60 annual increase for the average commuter. Proposition 108—the Passenger Rail and Clean Air Act—will authorize the first of three$1 billion rail transit bonds. (Although an intergral part of the entire transportation package,as abond measure Proposition 108 must appear separately on the ballot.It will take effect only if Proposition 111 passes as well.) Proposition 111 also includes a congestion management program. This unique feature requires regional cooperation among transportation agencies,air districts,and local governments to provide for transportation needs in advance of growth, and sets stringent standards for the use of new. transportation funds. . New growth will have to be combined with transportation investments which reduce congestion and improve air quality. All current environmental safeguards remain in place as well, so this program provides unprecedented environmental protections. Updating the Spending Limit to Protect the.Environment: The problem:The existing limit on government spending—more than a decade old—fads to reflect the growth in our economy. The result: According to the Commission on State Finance—even though.funds will be available —the limit will deny$22 billion in vital services over the next 10 years. That means the limit could shortchange critical programs to clean up mounting air and water pollution—programs such as the Wildlands Program, Hazardous Waste Control, water quality efforts to investigate groundwater contamination and prevent leaks from solid waste facilities and the Bay Protection and Toxic Cleanup Program. Proposition 111 will allow state and local spending Iimits to grow with the state's economy and thereby enable us to use already-collected revenues to meet pressing needs for health,education,social and environmental programs. At a time when booming population and economic growth place further strains on the environment, we should be increasing, not eroding, state support for clean air and water and land and coastal protection.
