2008 Prop K Strategic Plan & 5-Year Prioritization Programs Presentation to the Citizens Advisory Committee October 24, 2007
WHAT IS PROPOSITION K? • Prop K was approved by 75% of San Francisco voters in November 2003 • It includes: • Extension of the prior ½ cent sales tax (Prop B) to fund transportation improvements • Approval of a new Expenditure Plan
WHAT IS THE EXPENDITURE PLAN? The Prop K Expenditure Plan: • Determines eligibility for Prop K funds through a list of specific projects (e.g. Central Subway) and programs (e.g. traffic calming) • Sets caps for the maximum amount of Prop K funds that will be available to specific categories, sub-categories, project and programs over the 30-year Expenditure Plan period • Assumes leveraging of sales tax funds to fully fund Expenditure Plan projects and programs • $2.82 billion in Prop K ~$9.6 billion in other funds (2003 $’s) • Establishes other requirements such as 5-Year Prioritization Programs (5YPPs)
EXPENDITURE PLAN CATEGORIES Percent of Prop K Funding
EXPENDITURE PLAN CAPS Category: Streets and Traffic Safety
WHAT IS THE STRATEGIC PLAN? • The Prop K Strategic Plan is the primary implementation document for the Expenditure Plan. • The Strategic Plan: • Establishes policies • Forecasts sales tax revenue • Budgets program expenses • Programs funds by fiscal year to projects and programs • Assumes reimbursement rates for past and future allocations • Includes financing proceeds and expenses
5-YEAR PRIORITIZATION PROGRAMS (5YPPs) 5YPPs are a condition of allocation for all programmatic (i.e., non-project specific) Expenditure Plan categories, such as: • Bus Rapid Transit/Muni Metro Network • BART Station Access, Safety and Capacity • New Signs and Signals • Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation/Safety • Transportation/Land Use Coordination
DESIRED OUTCOME OF THE 5YPPS • A strong pipeline of grant-ready projects that can be advanced as soon as funds (Prop K and other funds) are available. • Why is this important? • The Expenditure Plan assumes leveraging of sales tax funds to fully fund its projects and program ($2.82 billion in Prop K ~$9.6 billion in other funds (2003 $’s)) • To support faster delivery of projects and programs so the public can enjoy the benefits sooner
5YPPs PURPOSE • Establish a clear set of criteria for prioritizing projects • Improve agency coordination, particularly during the early stages of the planning process • Encourage and enable public input early and throughout the planning process • Establish performance measures that are intended to inform future project prioritization and development
5YPP Required Elements Among other requirements, 5YPPs must address: • Project Readiness • Compatibility with existing and planned land uses • A prioritization mechanism to rank projects • Full funding plans for projects and programs (Prop K and other $) • Performance measures For the 2008 update, the 5YPPs will also include: • Project delivery accomplishments to date • Project delivery trends, issues and opportunities
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN (RTP) • The RTP is the master plan that guides the nine-county Bay Area’s transportation investments for a 25-year period. • The Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC’s) adopts the RTP every 4 years. • Update of the 2009 RTP, also known as Transportation 2035, is now underway.
Countywide Transportation Plan Regional Transportation Plan Expenditure Plan & Strategic Plan PROP K RELATIONSHIP TO THE RTP • Implementation of the Expenditure Plan relies on extensive leveraging of other funds - consistency with the RTP is a condition of eligibility for most federal and state fund sources • The RTP provides a basis for regional advocacy for new revenue sources • The Countywide Transportation Plan, Strategic Plan and 5YPPs are key inputs into the RTP
