Thursday, November 15, 2012 | 9:30am

Members & Alternates Present: Allan Abramson (A), Fulgene Asuncion (M), Ofc. Spencer Badal (A),Elaine Jeng (M), Debbie O’Leary (A), Charles Herbertson (A), Fred Zohrehvand (M), Jano Baghdanian (A), Bahman Janka (Chair), Steve Forster (Vice-Chair), Carlos Rios (A), Nancy Villaseñor (M), Ken Johnson (M), Michelle Mowery (M), Dale Benson (M), Pablo Gutierrez (ex-officio) (A), Jordan Miles. 1. Call to Order (Bahman Janka, Chair)

The meeting was called to order at 9:50 am.

2. Approval of the November 15, 2012 Minutes (Subcommittee) Ken Johnson (Arterial ITS Configuration Management Group) made a motion to approve the October 18, 2012 minutes, which was seconded by Michelle Mowery (Bicycle Coordination). The minutes were approved with no abstentions or objections.

3. Chairperson Report (Bahman Janka, Chair) Mr. Janka proposed to cancel December 20, 2012 meeting. Ken Johnson made a motion to approve the cancelation of the meeting in December which was seconded by Michelle Mowery. The next meeting will be on January 17, 2013.

Mr. Janka stated that during the next meeting in January, the Subcommittee will elect the Chair and Vice-Chair for 2013.

4. Metro Report (Fulgene Asuncion, Metro) Ms. Asuncion announced that Metro will be conducting a Metro Bicycle Roundtable on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 from 6:30 – 8:00 pm, at the Huntington Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Metro Headquarters building.

5. State and Federal Legislative Update (Raffi Hamparian, Metro)

Mr. Hamparian reported on the fiscal cliff update and what to expect in the upcoming weeks. Negotiation about the fiscal cliff between the Democrats and Republicans will take place in the next 2-3 weeks in the House and Senate. President Obama mentioned (last Friday) a stimulus for transportation that he is going to demand in the fiscal cliff talks. The 2011 Budget Control Act’s sequestration plan will begin in the next year which will trigger cuts to discretionary programs. Also, the Bush-era tax cuts will be expiring on Dec. 31, 2012. Transportation is largely held harmless due to the Highway Trust Fund

(HTF). The HTF is not susceptible to sequestration unlike other transportation funding such as the New Starts which would face automatic cuts.

Furthermore, Mr. Hamparian and staff will be presenting a report to the board encouraging the creation of America Fast Forward to be placed in the upcoming fiscal cliff conversations. Mr. Hamparian mentioned that the White House wants to get several billion dollars in TIGER grants as well as infrastructure funding as a result of the fiscal cliff conversations.

Mr. Hamparian also reported on the Measure J update. Measure J is currently at 64.73%. There are over 700,000 absentee and provisional ballots that are outstanding. Last Friday they counted additional 87,000 votes which leaves just north of 650,000 votes that are still outstanding. It’s unreasonable and not likely to expect the final tally to change significantly since the remaining votes would need to come in at over 71% for the measure to pass. The City of Los Angeles’ support for Measure J came in at 69.5%. The only place where it got an exceedingly high number is in West Hollywood, which came in with 81%. A request for a presentation on AB 720 was expressed by one of the members. Mr. Hamparian stated he will schedule for Government Relations staff to present on AB 720 at the next Streets and Freeways meeting. AB 720 will go into effect on Jan. 1st.

4. Caltrans Report (Dale Benson, Caltrans) Mr. Benson provided an update on the Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) Program as it relates to MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century), the new federal transportation act that was signed into law in July of this year. Mr Benson reported on the note from Dawn Foster (Caltrans Local Assistance) explaining that the federal SRTS Program no longer has dedicated funding in MAP 21. As a result, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) approved a short term solution in funding the existing SRTS projects with STP funding and SAFETEA-LU apportionments. During the next few months the MAP-21 working group will be meeting to discuss long term funding for the SRTS program and any related potential legislative changes. Caltrans supports the program and recommends that it continue to be funded. As for the state funded Safe Routes to School Program, funding for this program is allocated on an annual basis and is dependent on the state budget approval. The next SRTS call for projects will be conducted next year after approval of the State’s FY 13-14 budget. The Cycle 10 awards were covered under 2012-13 fiscal year (FY) and the next cycle will be in FY 13-14.

5. CTC Update (Patricia Chen, Metro) Ms. Chen reported on the October 24, 2012 CTC meeting. The efforts to protect the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) funds and the I-5 South funding in general, were successful. An agreement was made to program Funds where cost increases were being faced at the same time the CMIA award savings were being taken away. Therefore at the CTC meeting, the Item to take away the CMIA savings passed quietly. We now have board report #25 going forward in the December cycle in which staff will report the results out to the Metro board and seek authority for Metro to adjust and reprogram some of the funds around to put them where they are needed.

There will not be a meeting in November, the next meeting will be held on December 6th in the Inland Empire area. Next year there will be only 7 meetings; there will be fewer meetings and will be held farther apart in the calendar year of 2013. Ms. Chen reminded members to be sure to check the CTC preparation schedule and to plan ahead when requesting allocations and time extensions.

6. Short Range Transportation Plan (Rena Lum, Metro) Ms. Lum reported on the short term challenges in the Short Range Transportation Plan. Metro is proceeding with the analysis, the travel demand, and financial model that is underway. The short term challenges that we face in the SRTP include funding in operations and maintenance, as well as state of good repair. The recommendations that come out of the SRTP will reflect the Board adopted priorities and sequencing consistent with Measure R and the 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Staff hopes to have a draft plan released in the summer and will conduct outreach at that point.

7. 2013 Call for Projects (Rena Lum, Metro)

Ms. Lum reported on the Call for Projects Draft Application Package. The Board approved the draft application package at their October Board meeting with two changes. Staff has issued an errata sheet, increasing the project funding caps for the bicycle and pedestrian modes from the originally proposed 2.5 million dollars to 3 million dollars. The notice was sent out via snail mail as well as email blast. The online application went live last Wednesday (November 7th) and staff had two training sessions with a ‘Question & Answer’ session on Tuesday (November 13th) and Wednesday (November 14th) with a good turnout of about 20 people participating in each session. Ms. Lum reminded members to feel free to contact her and/or the modal leads if they have any questions about the online application process. Contact information for assistance on technical difficulties or questions: [email protected] or call 213-922-2777. Applications are due back to Metro on January 18th by 3pm. The funding marks will be taken to our Board for approval in spring 2013. As of right now they are at $200 million in total, where $150 million was allocated to Metro through the Long Range Plan and $37 million from the 2012 Call for Projects Recertification/Deobligation. Fanny has a board report with another $15 million, adding up to $200 million total for FY 18 and 19 predominantly. Staff will be taking preliminary recommendations on the Call to the Board in June, appeal process will be in July and final recommendations to the Board will be in September. Transportation Alternative (TA) funding is continuing as an evolving issue. Executives of the CTCs, as well as SCAG will continue to work through this. Rainbow Report will be ready in late June or early July 2013.

8. SR-710 Study Update (Michelle Smith, Metro) Ms. Smith did not provide a report. Mr. Janka instead reported on the SR-710 TAC meeting held yesterday (November 14th). Metro has gone through 12 months of a study of eliminating and looking at alternatives and they have narrowed it down to proposing the construction of a tunnel from the south end of Alhambra to Pasadena. The project is in the alternative analysis phase. In the next month, Metro will publish an alternative analysis report. According to Mr. Janka, drafting the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will take from 1 to 1½ years to complete and a year to finalize the Final EIR. Mr. Janka stated that the estimated cost of the project is $0.5 billion, according to a study done by Metro.

9. Metro Express Lanes Project (Kathleen McCune, Metro) Ms. McCune reported on the following:

Opening of the I-110 Freeway ExpressLanes: Opened Saturday night at 10pm. The opening of the ExpressLanes seems to be going surprisingly well. Most of the improvements on the I-110 have been completed. The last piece is the changeable message signs for ‘Next Bus’ which notifies riders when the next bus is arriving. These should be up by the end of the month. Also, drivers must have a FasTrak transponder in the vehicle to use the ExpressLanes. This is required for the system and for CHP to identify vehicles that should not be in the ExpressLanes.

I-10 Freeway Express Lanes: Lanes are still under construction and expected to finish towards the end of this year. They are predicted to open to the public by January or February 2013.

Pricing Structure for Express Lanes: There are two different pricing structures: 1) Paying with a credit card- $40 for the prepaid toll balance and no transponder deposit since credit card is on file; replenishes automatically. 2) Paying with cash or check- $50 for your prepaid toll balance and $25 transponder deposit. Customer must either send a check in the mail or walk in and pay cash to add money to their FasTrak account. Transponder deposit is required in case driver loses transponder.

o Maintenance fee: $3 monthly account maintenance fee will be going into effect once the I-10 Freeway ExpressLanes are opened. Maintenance fee can be waived if driver makes four one way trips on the ExpressLanes (or transit trips using TAP card) in a month. TAP cards can be linked to the FasTrak account.

Tolls on the ExpressLanes: Tuesday (November 13th) max toll was $9.35 in the morning peak based on congestion (toll is highest during the peak because that is when congestion is highest). Wednesday (November 14th) max toll was $9.65 in the morning peak.

Per State legislation, the net revenues received from the ExpressLanes go to additional transit and carpool improvements in the corridor where the money is generated.

o Rates can change as often as every five minutes depending on the density of traffic on the lanes. Data is collected from the transponder data and the sensor pucks in the pavement on the ExpressLanes.

o Violation notices are sent to the registered owner of the vehicle if a transponder is not detected and/or a license plate could not be found on a FasTrak account. If a transponder is not detected in the vehicle the system takes a picture of the vehicle license plate and is sent to DMV for the registered owner’s name and address. Violators have five days to pay the toll amount after receiving notice. If the violation is not paid by the five days, the violator must add $25 in fine and pay within 30 days. If you do not pay, a hold is placed on the vehicle registration. Currently Metro is only charging the toll – no penalty is being added.

New Metro Station in El Monte: Opened October 14th. The temporary station is now being demolished to expand parking in the station which will be done by the end of this month or early December.
