Key Updates from Strategic Growth Council

1. Key Updates fromStrategic Growth Council CalACT Conference Olympic Valley, CA | Thursday April 27, 2017

2. Topics for Today • Policy Updates • SB 743 Implementation • Autonomous Vehicles • Funding Opportunities • Cap and Trade & California Climate Investments • Low Carbon Transportation • Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities Program

3. SGC & OPR Strategic Growth Council The Strategic Growth Council (SGC) coordinates the activities of State agencies and partners with stakeholders to promote sustainability, economic prosperity, and quality of life for all Californians. Office of Planning & Research OPR serves the Governor and his Cabinet as staff for long-range planning and research, and constitutes the comprehensive state planning agency.

4. Agenda SB 743 Implementation

6. Old CEQA Transportation Impacts Metric: Level of Service (LOS)

7. Level of Service A

8. Level of Service F

9. Analysis of infill development using LOS

10. Analysis of infill development using LOS Relatively little vehicle travel loaded onto the network

11. Analysis of infill development using LOS Relatively little vehicle travel loaded onto the network …but numerous LOS impacts

12. Analysis of greenfield development using LOS

13. Analysis of greenfield development using LOS Typically three to four times the vehicle travel loaded onto the network relative to infill development

14. Analysis of greenfield development using LOS Typically three to four times the vehicle travel loaded onto the network relative to infill development …but relatively few LOS impacts Traffic generated by the project is disperse enough by the time it reaches congested areas that it doesn’t trigger LOS thresholds, even though it contributes broadly to regional congestion.

15. Which is better? 45 min commute, including 5 min from congestion 20 min commute, including 10 min from congestion Good LOS Grade Bad LOS Grade Bad Accessibility Good Accessibility

16. Transportation Impact Analysis Today: Problems • Punishes last-in, inhibits infill, pushes development outward • Inhibits transit and active transportation • Forces more road construction than we can afford to maintain • Generates an array of environmental impacts • Worsens public health and safety • Inhibits transit and active transportation • Forces more road construction than we can afford to maintain • Generates multiple environmental impacts • Worsens public health and safety

18. New CEQA Transportation Impacts Metric: Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)

19. Benefits of VMT as a Measures of Transportation Impact • Streamline TOD • Streamline infill • Streamline transit projects • Streamline active transportation projects • Streamline locally-serving retail • Streamline modeling for remaining projects • Attack regional congestion more effectively • Reduce future pavement maintenance deficits • Massive public health improvements • Reduction in GHG and other emissions 2 people 1 person 1 person 40 people

20. Agenda Autonomous Vehicles

21. Forthcoming… * * For identification purposes only

24. What do we need? Integration and Collaboration with Transit • Shared use • Shared ride • Zero emissions • Right-priced • Transit-supportive • Equitable

25. Agenda California Climate Investments (CCI) Overview

26. California Climate Investments: Statutory Requirements

27. California Climate Investments: Program Areas http://www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov/

29. Disadvantaged Communities: CalEnviroScreen

30. Disadvantaged Communities: AB 1550

31. Agenda Low Carbon Transportation

32. Low Carbon Transportation • $325 million invested to date • Projects cover nearly all means of transportation

33. Car Share Solicitation – Due May 22! https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aqip/solicitations/040417_FY1617CarSharingPilotProjectSolicitation.pdf

34. Agenda Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC)

35. Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities To fund projects that result in: • the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and • Increased accessibility of housing, employment centers and key destinations through low-carbon transportation options such as walking, biking and transit.

36. What does it fund?

37. Eligible Project Types

38. PATH Metro Villas Phase II TOD Project – City of Los Angeles

39. Kings Canyon Connectivity Project ICP Project – City of Fresno

40. Redding Downtown Loop and Affordable Housing ICP Project – City of Redding

41. Lindsay Village RIPA Project – City of Lindsay

42. Key Takeaways for Transit Agencies • Partnerships with Transit Encouraged • Transit Passes for Residents

43. AHSC Next Steps and Timeline • Final Proposed Guidelines posted Monday May 22nd • AHSC 2016-2017 Guidelines considered for final adoption by Strategic Growth Council at Thursday June 1st Council Meeting • 2017 NOFA Release Date yet to be determined
