Action ItemsCom. Clark Provide Updated Interim Trail Cost Estimates Pull together updated information on interim trail cost estimates and bring it back to the commission.Com. Schiffrin Direct Staff to Seek Additional Funding Contact state and federal representatives and the CTC to appeal for necessary additional funding to complete trail segments 8-11.Com. Schiffrin Schedule Public Discussion on Rail Banking Ensure a report and public discussion on rail banking is included in the December meeting agenda, aligned with the rail feasibility study.OverviewCommission debated funding and scope for Coastal Rail Trail segments 8-11.Two competing motions: one to stay within current funding, another to seek additional funds.Key issues: rail banking, interim trail feasibility, and legal/financial constraints.Substitute motion to pursue staff recommendations and additional funding passed 7-4.Future public discussion on rail banking and trail options scheduled.Initial Motion: Funding Within Current ResourcesMotion authorized staff to coordinate with coastal rail trail sponsors and funding partners on segments 8–11.Directed staff to align project cost and scope with available funding.Instructed staff to work with municipal advisors and public finance to develop a financing plan for current and future expenditures.Required staff to present a public discussion on rail banking for the Santa Cruz branch rail line.Debate: Interim Trail, Legal Barriers, and Funding GapsCommission lacks legal authority to build interim trail without abandoning freight easement.Abandonment process could take 6 months to 5 years; strong opposition exists.$120 million in grants expire in 2027; timeline for trail construction uncertain.Existing funding is insufficient to build the trail; additional funds required.Motion to stay within current funding likely prevents trail construction in mid- and south-county.Substitute Motion: Seek Additional Funding & Staff RecommendationsApproved staff recommendations for coastal rail trail segments 8-11.Directed staff to collaborate with project sponsors and funding partners to reduce costs and deliver segments 8-11, including possible project scope modifications.Authorized executive director to initiate financing process for Measure D active transportation funds, including bond council services and a financing plan.Added direction for staff to contact state and federal representatives and the CTC to request additional funding for construction of segments 8-11.Clarifications: Rail Banking, Scope, and Public DiscussionCommission to receive rail banking report at December meeting.Rail banking discussion linked to potential abandonment of passenger rail.Interim trail funding likely sufficient, pending updated cost estimates and scope change approval.Rail banking process requires abandonment of freight easement; can be initiated by operator or other parties.Adverse abandonment and stakeholder agreement (e.g., Roaring Camp) are key issues for rail banking and trail development.Final Deliberations, Amendments, and VoteRail feasibility study scheduled for December; decision on passenger rail, funding, or rail banking to be made then.

OverviewSignificant funding gap for rail trail segments 8-11, with a shortfall of $17 million (projected cost: $137M + $88M = $225M; grants received: $120M).Measure D revenues are nearly fully committed, limiting future borrowing and project capacity.Urgency to secure additional funding by June 2027 to avoid losing $120M in outside grants.No contingency for litigation costs included in current budgets.Scaling back project scope may risk current grant funding and require state approval.Measure D Borrowing and Revenue ConstraintsBorrowing for active transportation projects uses only Measure D active transportation revenues, not full Measure D revenue.Other Measure D program areas remain unaffected and retain borrowing capacity under proposed scenarios.Project Cost Overruns and Funding Gaps for Segments 8-11Segments 10 and 11 over budget by $72 million; only $55 million projected funding, creating a shortfall.Measure D revenues cannot fully cover current project cost estimates; borrowing $55 million considered to partially fill gap.Future Measure D capacity to leverage state and federal funds will be significantly reduced after current funds are exhausted.Ongoing project cost estimates are subject to revision and updates are provided regularly.Grant Funding Risks, Deadlines, and Local ResponsibilitiesReceived $120 million in outside funding for rail trail segments 8–11.Funding deadline for construction is June 2027; must achieve 100% design and full funding by then.California Active Transportation Program does not cover cost overruns; local sponsors responsible for extra costs.Failure to meet deadlines risks loss of $120 million in grants.Additional construction funding needed to complete segments 8–11 and future segments 13–20.Efforts to Secure Additional Funding and Grant CompetitivenessApplied for two additional federal grants in 2023; received BUILD/RAISE grants in 2024.City of Santa Cruz submitted $20.5M Safe Streets for All grant for segments 8 and 9; decision expected December.Grant construction allocation request required by June 27, 2027; construction start not required by that date.Current Active Transportation Program cycle has significantly less funding than previous cycle.Projects are over budget; limited options and time remain to secure additional funding.Project Scope, Grant Compliance, and Feasibility ConcernsCalifornia Transportation Commission approval required for scope changes.Total cost for segments 8–11: $225 million (8–9: $88M, 10–11: $137M).Total grants received for segments 8–11: $120 million.Measure D revenue capacity estimated at $174–175 million; about $40 million obligated.No contingency funding allocated for litigation costs.No requirement to repay state design funds if projects not constructed.

9/4/25 SCCRTC P7a - Measure D Active Transportation Expenditures and FinancingOptions SummaryOverviewMeasure D active transportation projects are progressing faster than pay-as-you-go funding allows, necessitating new financing options.Over $150 million in state and federal funds have been leveraged for the coastal rail trail.Recent project completions include segment 7 to the Santa Cruz Wharf and new funding for segment 12.Cost estimates have increased due to material and escalation costs, creating a significant funding gap.Three financing scenarios were presented, with borrowing needs ranging from $12.5 million to $55 million.The commission will revisit recommendations and programming in November.Project Delivery Pace and Funding Needs for Coastal Rail TrailProvided update on coastal rail trail project funding needs.Measure D active transportation funds enable earlier project delivery but require financing options.Local Measure D funds leveraged over $150 million in state and federal funds for the 32-mile trail.Current discussion is informational; further recommendations expected in November.Project Updates, Segment Status, and Recent Funding AwardsRTC refines project cost estimates with sponsors for next five-year plan update.Coastal Rail Trail aims for full public access; segment 7 completed to Santa Cruz Wharf.SB1 grant awarded for Highway 1 State Park, Freedom Auxiliary Lane, and segment 12; construction funded.Segments 8-9 led by City of Santa Cruz; segments 10-11 led by County of Santa Cruz; segment 5 under construction, completion expected summer 2026.Segments 17-19 received $4.8M pre-construction funding; construction funding not yet identified.Cost Estimates, Funding Gaps, and Value EngineeringProject cost estimates for segments 8 and 11 updated in August 2025.Funding gap increased due to higher material unit costs, escalation, and schedule shifts.Value engineering analysis achieved cost savings, but escalation offset most savings.Secured additional $19.5 million funding; funding gap remains.Financing Scenarios, Borrowing Models, and Cash Flow AnalysisPresented three funding scenarios for Measure D active transportation: current, near-term, long-term.Current scenario based on adopted five-year plan, updated annually and as needed.Near-term needs include environmental mitigation for North Coast Rail Trail Segment 5 and additional design/right-of-way funding for Santa Cruz projects.Long-term commitments may require construction funding for Segments 8–11; commission committed to fully fund Segments 10 and 11 in April 2024.Summary, Next Steps, and Recommendations for Financing and Project DeliveryThree expenditure scenarios evaluated: current (~$40M), near-term (+$10M), long-term (~$80M).Borrowing needs: $12.5M (current), $23M (near-term), $55M (long-term/constrained).All scenarios assume ongoing corridor maintenance; trail maintenance only funded through FY28-29.Maximum borrowing ($55M) insufficient to fully fund segments 8–11A; multi-pronged funding approach required.Next steps: establish legal framework for debt, refine cash flow models, prepare financing plan for commission approval.

9/4/25 SCCRTC P6 - Hwy1 State Park to Bay-Porter Cost Overruns SummaryOverviewHighway 1 Segment 2 construction is about 45-50% complete.$7.7 million in additional costs identified; $1.5 million in savings found.Contingency fund increased from 5% to 10% due to unforeseen issues.Major cost drivers: design changes, unforeseen site conditions, tree removal, and public safety measures.Commissioners raised concerns about cost overruns, transparency, and future funding impacts.Highway 1 Project Status and PartnershipsRTC delivered Highway 1 corridor improvements, including Bus and Shoulder Auxiliary Lanes.Segment 1 (Soquel Drive to 41st Avenue) is nearly complete; Segment 2 (Bay Porter to State Park Drive) is under construction.Caltrans administers both segments; strong partnerships with public, county, and cities.Unforeseen in-field conflicts in Segment 2 since April 2024 required additional contingency funds.Segment 2 is approximately 50% complete; projected completion in fall 2026.Detailed Review of Project Challenges, Risks, and SavingsRevised stage construction 1A to avoid full Bay Porter Ave interchange closure; ramps built piecemeal to reduce public impact.Mar Vista pedestrian overcrossing alignment changed due to unmarked sewer lines; bridge relocated, affecting 25 of 45 plan sheets, avoiding 1+ year delay.Retaining wall construction required more tree removal than estimated, causing environmental hurdles, project delays, and added costs.Unforeseen site conditions (unsuitable materials, buried objects, utility conflicts) led to change orders and increased risk for stage 1B.Total additional work cost: $7.7M; project cost savings: $1.5M; original contingency: $4.1M; remaining work: $44M; 10% contingency needed.Commissioner Q&A: Cost Overruns, Design, and AccountabilityOriginal contingency was 5% (Caltrans standard), but future projects will use at least 10% due to increased risk and lessons learned.Further Commissioner Discussion: Environmental, Funding, and Public ConcernsTree removal cost: $679,000 due to additional access needs and unplanned trees.Ramp inefficiencies at Bay and Porter Street: $500,000; total related change order: $1.9 million; combined: $2.4 million.Current projected cost overruns: $7.7 million (gross), net after savings: $6.5 million; represents nearly 10% of original $80 million budget.Bridge landing shifted 5 feet inward to avoid utility conflict, causing design and construction impacts but minimal perceptible change for pedestrians.Vegetation removal mitigated by replanting at regulatory ratios (typically 3:1); replanting to occur at project end.
