1. Call to Order Chair Pastor called the meeting to order at 5:04 pm. with a quorum present.

2. Approval of the minutes of the September 28, 2017 meeting Chair Pastor asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Vice Chair Rick Naimark seconded the motion. The minutes were approved unanimously.

3. Transportation 2050 Plan Working Session Deputy City Manager Mario Paniagua gave a brief overview of T2050 accomplishments to date and explained the process for the working session. Mr. Paniagua introduced Public Transit Director Maria Hyatt to present T2050 program background and financial overview. She stated the overall projections result in less than a one percent reduction on the overall funding sources, which change from $31.5 billion to $31.2 billion. She mentioned changes in expenditures include a decrease in bus operations costs which offset lower than anticipated fare revenue. Ms. Hyatt reviewed the funding sources and spending fluctuations. She also noted the plan is conservative and placing contingencies on every project will help address possibilities of more typical economic downturns. The commissioners discussed the increased misuse of reduce fares and the determination of bus purchasing and operations. Staff informed commissioners that reloadable smart cards is a possible solution and private security inspects fares on the light rail. Staff informed commissioners that the replacement and augmentation of buses is determined by multiple criteria of ridership, yard capacity, available funding, and planning for peak and off-peak periods. Staff informed commissioners bus operators salaries are handled by contractors. Ms. Hyatt mentioned prior notification was sent requesting input from commissioners on focus areas for the working session. Street Transportation Director Ray Dovalina, Assistant Street Transportation Director Kini Knudson and Ms. Hyatt addressed the topics brought forth by Commissioners Mellor, Miller and Aldieri. Mr. Paniagua introduced Human Resources Curriculum and Training Coordinator Ed Hard to facilitate the discussion between staff and commissioners. Mr. Hard asked the commissioners what they are most passionate about accomplishing during their term on the Citizens Transportation Commission to make sure the voter-approved T2050 Plan is implemented successfully for the benefit of Phoenix.

• Commissioner Glawe answered moving traffic and reducing congestion. • Commissioner Mellor answered flexible solutions that can be modified over

time with new technology. • Vice Chair Naimark answered showing the public that the commission

delivered on their expectations. • Commissioner Brennan answered safety and quality of life. • Commissioner Tempest answered creating a transportation network that is

inclusive of all modes of transportation rather than prioritizing one mode over another mode.

• Commissioner Naimark answered Phoenix should be seen as the leader in transportation and quality of life. He stated Phoenix should be willing to try innovative transportation approaches and be a model to other cities.

• Commissioner Tempest answered innovative transportation solutions should be Phoenix’s reputation.

• Commissioner Brennan answered there should be an expectation that Phoenix is open to innovation which would attract economic development.

• Commissioner Glawe asked how does Phoenix maintain its roadway system with continuous population growth. She mentioned collector streets and freeways are congested with traffic.

• Commissioner Tempest answered building infrastructure where people can choose from multiple forms of transportation.

• Commissioner Brennan answered increased transportation options enhances the quality of communities.

• Commissioner Mellor answered featuring art and culture to reflect the community. She noted bus stops can incorporate art to reflect the community.

• Commissioner Brennan answered South Central Light Rail will provide better connectivity with South Phoenix.

Mr. Hard asked what approaches are needed to accomplish the ideas stated by commissioners.

• Commissioner Tempest replied educating the community of the T2050 plan. She stated city staff and community organizations should continuously educate the public of T2050 progress.

• Commissioner Miller expressed his belief that the T2050 plan is not progressive. He considers light rail an 18th century solution to a 21st century problem, and that the future of transportation will be small automobiles – either autonomous or with drivers. He mentioned automobiles should be the primary focus of the T2050 plan, and would like Phoenix to have the reputation of the most automobile friendly city in the United States.

Mr. Hard asked what major changes have developed since 2015, when voters approved T2050 and why are the changes significant. He also asked what strategies should be considered to address them.

• Commissioner Glawe answered more traffic congestion on collector streets. She asked if the public is aware of traffic congestion on collector streets and communication strategies.

• Chair Pastor answered increased population growth in central Phoenix. He stated 2013 to 2014 population statistics were used to create the T2050 plan and no one anticipated the fast rate of population growth in central Phoenix.

• Commissioner Brennan answered residential population growth in central Phoenix has fostered and attracted entertainment activities and amenities. He stated the light rail has fostered land use changes which has attracted private investment and economic development.

• Chair Pastor asked what can the commission provide to enhance the quality of life in Phoenix without negatively impacting residents and environment.

• Commissioner Tempest answered Phoenix should prioritize plans and projects to build a robust network in central Phoenix.

• Vice Chair Naimark answered evolution of technology and federal funding impacts the T2050 plan. He stated increased development and urbanization of Phoenix impacts the T2050 plan.

• Commissioner Brennan answered Phoenix’s transit investment -light rail- helps the city attract private investment and tech companies like Amazon’s Headquarter 2.

• Commissioner Mellor answered Phoenix would have not been able to bid on the Amazon Headquarter 2 without the light rail. She mentioned the City of Mesa has had significant economic growth since opening of the light rail extension. She stated Phoenix hosting large sporting events is a direct impact of the light rail.

• Commissioner Tempest answered protection of bike infrastructure needs to be reevaluated and addressed in future plans.

Mr. Hard asked what obstacles and challenges may negatively impact T2050 implementation in the next five years, and what strategies should be considered to get in front of or overcome them.

• Commissioner Mellor answered the unknown future impacts of the rapid advancement of technology.

• Chair Pastor answered the unknowns of regional and federal funding impacts T2050 implementation.

• Commissioner Smith answered the homeless and crime activities at public transit centers negatively impacts T2050 implementation.

• Vice Chair Naimark answered negative public reaction to T2050 projects. • Commissioner Tempest answered community communication and education

strategies should be used to present progress of T2050 projects. • Commissioner Mellor answered the community needs continuous

communication of T2050 funding. • Commissioner Miller answered problems stated are related to mass transit. • Commissioner Mellor answered project delays due to workforce shortage

negatively impacts T2050 implementation. Mr. Knudson stated staff takes workforce availability into account for project implementation. He stated workforce shortage could increase project cost.

Staff informed the commission the next step in the working session is to return with a compilation of the items discussed.

Commissioner Tempest requested additional information regarding protected bike lanes and funding for the 5-year plan. Mr. Paniagua mentioned moving forward with the bike plan to get as many protected bike lanes as possible while remaining in alignment with the plan. Commissioner Smith asked staff to research Chicago’s protected bike lanes.

4. Homeless Outreach Team Deputy City Manager Mario Paniagua presented on agenda item 4. Mr. Paniagua informed the commissioners about the PHX C.A.R.E.S (Community, Action, Response, Engagement, Services) program and a proposal to fund an outreach

team that would focus the homeless population along the Light Rail. The funding needed for this team is $125,000, which would be funded by reducing the hours of private security at bus park-and-rides and adding roving security during non-peak times. Commissioner Brennan inquired about potential risks to the reduction of security. Public Transit Director Maria Hyatt mentioned there have been no incidents between the hours for 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. reported since July 1, 2017. She noted that roving security could address incidents during those times. Commissioner Naimark expressed his support for the proposal and mentioned his observations of the homeless taking shelter along the light rail. He suggested Phoenix work with other regional cities to address the wide spread challenges of homelessness. The commission discussed how the program differs from existing regional programs and if it reaches beyond the perimeters and goals of the T2050 plan. Staff informed the commissioners that the program is only based in Phoenix and existing programs are funded by general funds. Commissioner Martin expressed concern the program could become “mission creep.” Chairperson Pastor mentioned the program could help to maintain and address the quality and safety aboard light rail. Vice Chair Naimark moved to recommend City Council for Public Transit to fund a professional homeless outreach team focused on the Light Rail route, including station areas, in Phoenix. Vice Chair Naimark added the program is not “mission creep,” as it is about creating a system worth riding. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Mellor. The motion passed 7:3. Commissioners Martin and Miller left at 7:18 pm.

5. T2050 Financial Update Chairperson Pastor informed the commission that agenda item 5 was a report only. There were no comments.

6. Upcoming T2050 Related Public Meetings/Events Chairperson Pastor informed the commission that there were no upcoming events. No comments were made.

7. Lobbying Ordinance

Commissioner Mellor requested Assistant City Attorney Dan Brown to give a general overview of the new lobbying ordinance and how it may impact the commissioners. Mr. Brown presented a brief overview of how the new lobbying ordinance relates to any person who serves in the administrative office of the Mayor or a Council member; any person who serves on a City of Phoenix board, committee, or commission; the City Manager, executive staff, or all City of Phoenix Department and Function heads. He explained state law requires disclosure from any paid lobbyist who holds any of the previously mentioned positions. Mr. Brown mentioned there is no requirement to report a lobbyist and that any person who is paid to lobby can be reminded to register as a lobbyist. Chairperson Pastor asked if the responsibility falls on the lobbyist to disclose. Mr. Brown affirmatively responded and stated that non-paid lobbyist are not required to register.

8. Call to Public Chairperson Pastor called for public comment. There were no comments made.

CITIZENS TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION REPORT

TO: Mario Paniagua Deputy City Manager

FROM: Ray Dovalina, P.E. Street Transportation Director

SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION 2050 (T2050) MAINTENANCE OF PAVEMENT FOR ARTERIAL AND MAJOR COLLECTOR STREETS. FIVE YEAR-PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

This report provides information to the Citizens Transportation Commission (CTC) on the proposed Transportation 2050 (T2050) five-year arterial and major collector streets pavement maintenance program. Staff requests the CTC recommend Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee and City Council approval of the proposed T2050-funded arterial and major collector streets pavement maintenance program for FY 2022. THE ISSUE On Aug. 25, 2015, City of Phoenix voters approved the passage of Proposition 104 (T2050), which provides a 0.3 percent increase in the transaction privilege and use tax rate to fund citywide transportation projects, including the construction and maintenance of City streets. Collection of T2050 sales tax began on Jan. 1, 2016. The proposed five-year arterial and major collector streets pavement maintenance program funded with T2050 funds (Attachment A) were developed and prioritized using the Street Transportation Department’s existing Pavement Management System (PMS). OTHER INFORMATION Phoenix’s Street Network Phoenix has a comprehensive roadway network of more than 4,860 miles of public streets. Phoenix’s roadway network is made up of arterial, collector, and local streets. Arterials are major streets, which are typically the major north/south and east/west transportation corridors spaced at each mile. Collectors are important mid-level transportation corridors, which are generally on the ½-mile north/south and east/west streets between the arterial streets. Local streets are typically in residential areas, and provide connectivity between the collectors and arterials for local traffic. The arterial and major collector streets pavement maintenance program is funded by T2050, while the minor collector and local streets pavement maintenance program is funded by Arizona Highway User Fund (AHUR) revenues. The City’s public transit system primarily utilizes the arterial and major collector streets for its bus and rail lines, and T2050 funds allocated to Street Transportation are an essential part of proper pavement maintenance along these transit corridors.

Table 1 shows the citywide distribution of the various street classifications and which street classifications are eligible for resurfacing projects using T2050 and AHUR funding. Table 2 illustrates the distribution of street classification types across the City’s eight council districts. Table 1: Street Classification Distribution

Pavement Management System and Pavement Condition Index Street Transportation is tasked with planning, programming and executing the City’s street maintenance program. The department developed and implemented the Pavement Management System (PMS) to determine the condition of roadways in order to establish priorities of streets to receive maintenance treatments and pavement overlays. The foundation of PMS is field data obtained using a high-tech pavement management vehicle, which measures and records the condition of roads, evaluating them on surface roughness, environmental stresses, and structural condition. Based on the resulting pavement condition index (PCI) rating, which is tracked and mapped in the department’s PCI database, staff uses these objective measurements of roadway conditions to develop an initial list of roads to receive asphalt overlay. The average PCI rating citywide is 72.4. Using the most recently recorded PCI data, only 61 percent of

City streets are classified in good condition, while 29 percent are in fair condition and 10 percent are in poor or very poor condition. Once the pavement maintenance list is developed, the initial list of roads is put through a rigorous coordination review, which is summarized in Figure 1, and includes evaluating the following:

• Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. • Conflicts with other city projects. • Right of way concerns. • Environmental issues. • Utility issues or conflicts. • Field visual inspections. • Pavement age. • Roadway traffic volumes. • Alternate pavement treatments.

Figure 1: PCI Calculation and Prioritization

Staff may also consider adjacent or related economic development opportunities in developing the recommended pavement maintenance project list in addition to the standard evaluation criteria.

Pavement Treatment Types Based on the final pavement treatment location list and the respective PCI data for each street, the appropriate pavement treatments are then determined. Table 3 outlines and describes the four main types of pavement maintenance treatments, including whether roadway striping activities are included. Table 3: Types of Maintenance Treatments

Name Description Are Roadway

Striping Activities Included?

Overlay

Milling the existing pavement surface in fair to poor condition and installing a layer of hot polymer modified asphalt rubber mix over the existing base layer to provide a new wearing surface.

Yes

No

Comprehensive Pavement Preservation Program Prior to FY 2015, due to declining revenues associated with the economic downturn, the Street Transportation pavement maintenance program only consisted of overlay treatments, which significantly limited the effectiveness and reach of the pavement maintenance program. A pavement overlay is the most complete maintenance treatment option available, but is also the most expensive at a cost per mile of approximately $880,000 (see Table 4).

For Pavement in Good to Very Good Condition to extend life cycle of street with cracks

Previously, with reduced maintenance funding and pavement overlays being the sole treatment option (without interim pavement treatment options to extend the pavement life), the City’s streets underwent a more rapid deterioration of the pavement condition, resulting in a higher number of roads being in poor or failing conditions. In FY 2016, voter approval of additional resources through T2050 enabled expanded options for the pavement maintenance program, including the following pavement maintenance treatments: crack seal, tire rubber modified surface seal (TRMSS) and microsurfacing. The use of these treatments provides multiple benefits to the pavement preservation program, including:

1. Lower cost of treatment per mile initially, and over the pavement life cycle. 2. Increased quantity of roadways that receive treatments annually. 3. Higher number of roadway miles maintained in fair to very good condition. 4. Increased number of roadway miles maintained appropriately, extending

pavement life cycle.

The comprehensive pavement preservation program will allow T2050 funded arterials and major collectors to be treated approximately every 10 years with the current budget

projections. Arizona Highway User Revenue (AHUR) funded minor collectors and local streets will be treated approximately every 10-12 years based on state funding levels. Pavement Maintenance Goals and Budgets With the pavement maintenance funding (AHUR and T2050) of the City’s street network allocated based on the street classification type, the miles of roadway treated on an annual basis should be reported and evaluated in the same manner. Table 5 below shows the number of roadway miles scheduled to be treated through the recommended FY2022 program. As noted earlier, AHUR funding is allocated to minor collector and local streets and T2050 funding is allocated to arterial and major collector streets, which total 3,993 miles and 869 miles across the City, respectively.

Impact of T2050 Funding T2050 is anticipated to provide more than $2.3 billion to maintain existing City streets and to build and improve the roadway network to better support public transit, bicycling,

and pedestrian activities. To meet the T2050 goal of treating 680 miles of arterial and major collector streets, Street Transportation will propose roadways under the comprehensive pavement maintenance program using its existing PMS to prioritize locations. Street Transportation will focus its existing non-T2050 pavement maintenance budget (approximately $25-$30 million per year from AHUR) generally on the City’s minor collector and residential streets. Attachment A lists the proposed locations and overall totals for each treatment for the FY 2022 Pavement Maintenance Program funded with T2050 and AHUR. Attachment B provides a map showing the locations of all proposed pavement maintenance projects FY 2022.

SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN PHOENIX COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE

This report provides information to the Citizens Transportation Commission (CTC) about the Downtown Phoenix Comprehensive Transportation Plan (DPCTP) and associated efforts. The City Council approved the DPCTP at the June 24, 2014 Policy meeting, providing direction to move forward with more detailed analyses of the strategies outlined in the plan. THE ISSUE The DPCTP effort focused on the area bounded by McDowell Road on the north, Buckeye Road on the south, 7th Avenue on the west and 7th Street on the east. The study explored and analyzed potential roadway, transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvements. A set of transportation recommendations with short-, mid-, and long-term strategies were developed using input gathered through committees, stakeholder focus groups and public open houses. This collaborative approach was used to ensure that ideas and feedback were received from as many people as possible. The overarching goals of the DPCTP were to effectively move people into, out of, and around downtown, enhance economic opportunities and identify possible improvements to the transportation network to respond to recent downtown development and multi-modal activities. Many of the DPCTP-recommended changes are underway in the downtown area including multimodal street upgrades, protected pedestrian crossings, and extensive developer coordination. The DPCTP has worked in conjunction with a number of city initiatives that focus on improving neighborhoods, the transportation network and the downtown area including:

Since the plan’s inception, a series of corridor improvement projects were placed in the Capital Improvement Program and are now in various stages of implementation. Two of the projects: Third Street from Roosevelt Street to Indian School Road and Third and Fifth Avenues from Washington Street to McDowell Road focus on bicycle and pedestrian safety while also increasing circulation for redevelopment efforts. They are both currently in final design refining the plans approved by the community through extensive outreach.

OTHER INFORMATION Currently under construction, the First Street from McKinley Street to Moreland Street project will provide a stronger and safer business environment through parking improvements and an enhanced streetscape. Additionally, throughout the downtown, staff is developing a system of safer crossings using technologies through implementation of High-Intensity Activated Crosswalks (HAWKs) and Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFB). On Roosevelt Street between 7th and Central Avenues, and Washington and Jefferson streets from 7th Avenue to 7th Street, bicycle lane facilities will be completed that provide stronger connections to area employment, adjoining neighborhoods and businesses. Valley Metro, along with the Public Transit and Street Transportation Departments, are working with other impacted City departments and have been coordinating with area developers on the downtown (Fry’s) grocery store, Barrister Place, and future multi-family housing to ensure continued traffic circulation with future light rail lines that merge in the downtown core. The emphasis throughout this process is improved connectivity, circulation and safety. The Street Transportation Department is working on a number of other initiatives impacting downtown, including street repaving through the Department’s Pavement Preservation Program, upgrading street lights (citywide including the downtown area) through the LED Street Light Conversion Program, and improving on-street parking and right-of-way areas in the Warehouse District and the Evans Churchill Neighborhood. As next steps in downtown transportation planning and the implementation of the DPCTP, staff and its transportation planning consultant will be looking at downtown core transportation issues in greater detail to establish alternative corridors and traffic improvements regarding light rail transportation with the linking of the South Central and Phoenix I-10 West lines with the initial Central Phoenix/East Valley corridor. There will also be close coordination between the Street Transportation team and the Phoenix Suns, Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Phoenix Convention Center to update the existing downtown event transportation (Sunburst) plan to conform to the changing needs of the downtown. Staff will continue to provide periodic updates to the CTC and Mayor/Council on these next steps in downtown planning as well as how downtown streets tie into the overall transportation system as the upcoming Key Corridor Master Plan seeks to define the primary functions of our street network.

SUBJECT: CENTRAL STATION RFP This report advises the Citizens Transportation Commission of a proposed Request for Proposals (RFP) for the lease and redevelopment of Phoenix Transit Department owned parcel known as the Central Station Transit Center, located at 300 N. Central Avenue. Central Station is an approximately 2.6 acre parcel between Central and First Avenues, north of Van Buren Street. The site is used for transit functions including bus bays, rider amenities and a 4,960 square foot Public Transit office. There are north and south bound light rail stations adjacent to the parcel. The property is underutilized and is a prime downtown development opportunity. The site was a subject of an RFP that was awarded in 2014, and did not result in a disposition due to events unrelated to the City or the site. The intent is to seek proposals that include mixed-use, transit oriented development that complements and enhances transit ridership, economic development and the downtown environment. Net proceeds from the agreement resulting from this RFP will be directed to the City’s Transit fund per Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidelines. Certain transit functions will be retained on a redeveloped site while most bus stops will be relocated to adjacent streets. Transit will have access to a Polk Street alignment through the site extending from Central to First Avenues, while the current driveway running south to north from Van Buren to the Polk Street alignment is not required to be retained for Transit purposes. The proposed development will be required to provide building area for Public Transit use to accommodate administrative functions such as ticket vending and sales, customer service, security, restrooms and storage. RECOMMENDATION Staff will return to the Citizens Transit Commission with the results of the RFP and request a recommendation to the City Council for staff to negotiate with the most responsive and responsible proposer.

SUBJECT: AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS UPDATE

This report provides information to the Citizens Transportation Commission (CTC) about the technological guidance development of Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) commonly referred to as automated, connected or self-driving vehicles. THE ISSUE New technologies are emerging in automobile manufacturing to help drivers avoid crashes. These technologies are evolving and being integrated into standard automobiles being sold across the United States. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) states that after decades of decline, motor vehicle fatalities spiked more than 7.2 percent in 2015, the largest single increase since 1966. The major factor in 94 percent of all fatal crashes was human error. ADSs have the potential to significantly reduce vehicular fatalities by addressing the root cause of these tragic crashes. ARIZONA CRASH DATA The Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT) annual report "Motor Vehicle Crash Facts" states that fatal crashes are also on the rise in Arizona. Deadly crashes have risen for two consecutive years. See Table 1 below.

Table 1: Arizona Crash Statistics by Year per “Motor Vehicle Crash Facts”

2014 2015 2016 Total Crashes 109,664 116,774 126,845 Total Injuries 50,988 53,677 56,636

Total Fatalities 774 897 962 Annually, impaired driving crashes account for about four percent of all collisions and one-third of fatal collisions. Crashes involving impairment related to alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription medication killed 406 people and injured 4,089 in 2016. Per ADOT, the estimated State-wide economic loss in 2016 due to motor vehicle crashes was over $10.7 billion. FEDERAL POLICY Originally, USDOT had released the "Federal Automated Vehicle Policy" in 2016, and recently released an update in September 2017 called "Vision for Safety," which replaces the previous year's policy. The updated policy framework offers a path forward for the safe deployment of automated and connected vehicles by focusing on three major emphases:

1) Encouraging new entrants and ideas that deliver safer vehicles; 2) Making federal regulatory processes more nimble to help match the pace of private sector innovation; and 3) Supporting industry innovation and encouraging open communication with the public and major stakeholders. AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS Through the use of computers, radar, lasers, global positioning systems (GPS) and other technology, it is assumed self-driving vehicles will increase the capacity of our roadways and make them safer. Self-driving vehicles would allow for closer following distances and fewer instances of human error. It is likely all corridors would experience the availability of greater vehicle capacity, leading to less congestion and fuel consumption. Less human error will also make for safer roadways because crashes at intersections and with pedestrians will be less likely to occur. It is important for the City to consider the anticipated future impact of self-driving vehicles on traffic in planning and developing roadways. Because self-driving vehicles would be expected to increase traffic capacity on existing roadways, opportunities for additional transportation mode facilities, such as bikes and pedestrians are expected. With the improved safety associated with self-driving vehicles, it is more likely that people will walk and bike in the future. The City is continually monitoring new developments associated with signal timing, infrastructure-to-infrastructure communications, closed circuit television, etc. As new technology comes on-line, the City will need to have discussions about programming priorities and allocating or shifting resources enabling utilization of newly developed technologies. At this point, most of the technological advances have been from the private sector in the form of vehicle-to-vehicle communications, and not vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. THE FUTURE With considerably more competition available now, automated vehicle technology is rapidly advancing. However, existing operating policies, agency regulations, and laws at the Federal, State and local levels will need to keep pace with these advancements. Proceeding forward, staff will provide a presentation to the Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee in partnership with Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) on the status of automated driving technology and some of the opportunities and challenges this technology is facing before it can be fully implemented on public roadways.

SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION 2050 FINANCIAL UPDATE This report provides a financial update on Transportation 2050 (T2050), passed by voters on August 25, 2015. Included in this report is a summary of the sales tax revenue collections and the use of those revenues for projects within the plan. THE ISSUE T2050 is a 35-year multi-modal transportation plan that includes street improvements, bus and paratransit service enhancements, and light rail expansion. These broad categories are broken down into specific plan elements, and within these elements are specific projects planned to be implemented over the course of the 35-year plan.

OTHER INFORMATION The sales tax revenues are being used in both the Public Transit and Street Transportation Departments’ budgets to implement projects in the T2050 plan. The T2050 sales tax became effective January 1, 2016, and with the one month lag in sales tax reporting and collections, there have been twenty-one months of revenue collected by the City through October 2017. The following graph provides estimated and actual sales tax through October 31, 2017. Estimates are based on a consistent annual growth rate. Some months and years will see a higher or lower return, however, the differences are anticipated to balance over time.

The attached table (Attachment A) shows T2050 sales tax revenue collections and T2050 expenditures through October 31, 2017. RECOMMENDATION This report is for information only.
