OF PROJECTS FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1, THE ROAD AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
OF 2017, LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS, ROAD MAINTENANCE AND
REHABILITATION FUNDS INTO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017
(Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor
in April 2017 in order 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 of Santa Clarita (City) are aware of the project(s) proposed for funding
in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of all project(s) proposed to receive
funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, in
the City's Annual Operating 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 is estimated to receive $4,119,277 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year
2020-21 from SB 1, the actual revenues from gas tax may be lower due to the COVID-19
pandemic; and
WHEREAS, this is the fourth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will
enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety
improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options
for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into
our community's transportation priorities; and
WHEREAS, the City used its Five -Year Pavement Preservation Program 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 numerous
streets, roads, and bridges and add active transportation infrastructure throughout the City
through this year's project, and hundreds of similar projects into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment
found that the City's streets and roads are in an "at -risk" condition and this revenue will help
increase the overall quality of the road system and over the next decade will bring streets and '
roads into a "good" condition; and
WHEREAS, without revenue from SB 1, the City would have otherwise been delaying or
canceling projects throughout the community; and
WHEREAS, if the legislature and governor failed to act, City streets would have
continued to deteriorate, having many and varied negative impacts on our community; 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 reduced vehicle emissions
helping the state achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals; and
WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail reduces construction time, which results in
less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and
WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local street and road
infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets
infrastructure, and using cutting -edge technology, materials, and practices will have significant
positive co -benefits statewide.
