TransNet Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee Item: 5 October 16, 2019

FY 2021 TransNet Triennial Performance Audit Subcommittee Selection

Overview

In accordance with the TransNet Extension Ordinance, one of the responsibilities of the ITOC is to conduct triennial performance audits of SANDAG and agencies involved in the implementation of TransNet-funded projects and programs to review project delivery, cost control, schedule adherence, and related activities. The review also includes consideration of changes to contracting, construction, permitting, and related processes that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the expenditure of TransNet revenues.

Key Considerations

Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting, Inc. has performed all four prior TransNet triennial performance audits. At its April 2019 meeting, the ITOC elected to exercise its option of conducting the fifth triennial audit with Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting, Inc. via a contract amendment of the existing agreement from the FY 2018 triennial performance audit. Retaining the firm will result in time and cost savings by expediting the procurement process as well as additional efficiencies due to the firm’s familiarity with SANDAG, the ITOC, and the various TransNet programs. At the April 2019 ITOC meeting, members discussed Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting’s reliable and effective performance to date, noting that they had no concerns and every expectation that the firm would perform well for the next performance audit.

The ITOC is asked to designate no more than three ITOC performance audit subcommittee members, including a project manager to refine the scope of work and project schedule for the FY 2021 triennial performance audit. Attachments 1 through 3 provide additional details, including the procurement schedule, scope of work from the FY 2018 triennial performance audit, and examples of other scopes of work from triennial performance audits for similar agencies.

Next Steps

The FY 2021 triennial performance audit subcommittee would be scheduled to meet on November 13, 2019, following the November ITOC meeting, to begin discussions on the draft scope of work. The draft scope of work would be presented to the ITOC for consideration at its March 11, 2020, meeting.

Action: Appoint

The ITOC is asked to appoint its FY 2021 TransNet Triennial Performance Audit Subcommittee.

Fiscal Impact:

TransNet triennial performance audits are conducted by the ITOC with the assistance of an independent performance auditing firm and funded through Overall Work Program Project No. 1500200. The most recent performance audit was conducted in FY 2018 at a cost of $259,998.

Schedule/Scope Impact:

The fifth performance audit, covering activities from FY 2018 through FY 2020, is scheduled to be conducted in FY 2021 and would begin in July 2020 at an estimated cost of $273,000.

Discussion Memo

Background

In accordance with the TransNet Extension Ordinance, one of the responsibilities of the ITOC is to conduct triennial performance audits of SANDAG and agencies involved in the implementation of TransNet-funded projects and programs. Paragraph 3 of the ITOC responsibilities section of the “Statement of Understanding Regarding the Implementation of the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee for the TransNet Program” attached to the TransNet Extension Ordinance states as follows:

Conduct triennial performance audits of SANDAG and other agencies involved in the implementation of TransNet-funded projects and programs to review project delivery, cost control, schedule adherence and related activities. The review should include consideration of changes to contracting, construction, permitting and related processes that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the expenditure of TransNet revenues. These performance audits shall be conducted using the services of an independent performance auditor and should include a review of the ITOC’s performance. A draft of the ITOC’s report and recommendations regarding the performance audits shall be made available to the SANDAG Transportation Committee at least 60 days before its final adoption by the ITOC to resolve inconsistencies and technical issues related to the ITOC’s draft report and recommendations. Once this review has taken place, the ITOC shall make any final amendments it deems appropriate to its report and related recommendations, and adopt its report for presentation directly to the SANDAG Board of Directors and the public. The ITOC shall strive to be as objective and constructive as possible in the text and presentation of the performance audits. Upon completion by the ITOC, the report shall be presented to the SANDAG Board of Directors at its next regular meeting and shall be made available to the public.

With the assistance of an independent auditor, the ITOC conducted the:

• First triennial performance audit in FY 2009 (covering activities from FY 2006 through FY 2008)

• Second triennial performance audit in FY 2012 (covering activities from FY 2009 through FY 2011)

• Third triennial performance audit in FY 2015 (covering activities from FY 2012 through FY 2014)

• Fourth triennial performance audit in FY 2018 (covering activities from FY 2015 through FY 2017)

The audits focused on the implementation of the TransNet Early Action Program of projects and included a review of the performance of SANDAG, Caltrans, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, North County Transit District, the City of San Diego, the County of San Diego, a representative sample of various local jurisdictions, and the ITOC. The second, third, and fourth audits also included a review of the implementation of recommendations from the most recently conducted audits, as well as a review of operational processes and performance for new programs implemented since conducting the first audit. The fifth performance audit, covering activities from FY 2018 through FY 2020, is scheduled to be conducted in FY 2021 and would begin in July 2020.

This report summarizes factors for ITOC consideration in appointment of the subcommittee for the FY 2021 triennial performance audit. Staff has prepared a draft procurement schedule of the upcoming audit. Attachment 2 provides a copy of the scope of work used for the FY 2018 triennial performance audit and Attachment 3 provides recommendations for potential audit focus areas and analysis.

Discussion

During the FY 2018 audit cycle, the ITOC participated in a competitive procurement to solicit an independent performance auditor. The ITOC established an evaluation subcommittee and selected a project manager

3

among its members that developed the scope of work and evaluation criteria for the solicitation. The procurement process was managed by SANDAG Contracts and Procurement staff, and the ITOC was involved in all phases of the procurement. As part of this process, the ITOC subcommittee evaluated and competitively scored each of the responsive auditing firms. Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting, Inc. scored the highest and was selected as the auditing firm for the FY 2018 triennial audit. Staff executed a new contract with Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting, Inc. to carry out the FY 2018 audit. The new contract also included language that allowed the ITOC the option of retaining the firm to conduct the fifth audit under the existing agreement. At the April 2019 ITOC meeting, the ITOC elected to exercise this option and authorize a contract amendment with Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting, Inc. to conduct the FY 2021 TransNet Triennial Performance Audit.

To begin the contract amendment process, the ITOC is asked to designate no more than three ITOC performance audit subcommittee members, including a project manager to further develop the scope of work and project schedule for the FY 2021 triennial performance audit. In order to ensure the audit begins in accordance with the provisions of the TransNet Extension Ordinance and SANDAG Board Policy No. 031, once the ITOC establishes a performance audit subcommittee and selects a project manager from its membership, SANDAG Contracts Division staff will assist the ITOC in the refinement of the scope of work and project schedule.

Procurement Schedule

Below is the draft procurement schedule for the FY 2021 TransNet Triennial Performance Audit:

Task Description Estimated Date

Establish Performance Audit Subcommittee October 16, 2019

First Subcommittee meeting to refine Scope of Work November 13, 2019 (following ITOC meeting)

Second Subcommittee meeting to review draft Scope of Work January 8, 2020 (following ITOC meeting)

Draft Scope of Work presentation to ITOC March 11, 2020

Third Subcommittee meeting to finalize Scope of Work based on ITOC input

March 11, 2020 (following ITOC meeting)

ITOC Approval of Scope of Work April 8, 2020

Task order routing/approval Mid-April to mid-May, 2020

Send task order to Sjoberg for signature Late May, 2020

Issue Notice to Proceed June 1, 2020

Begin FY 2021 Triennial Audit July 1, 2020

Scope of Work

Attachment 2 of this report includes the scope of work from the FY 2018 triennial performance audit. Since the FY 2021 triennial performance audit will be an amendment to that contract, the scope of work attached serves as the starting point for the scope of work in the fifth performance audit. The subcommittee will have the ability to make minor changes to the scope of work for the FY 2021 audit; however, significant changes will not be possible based on agency procurement practices as it would provide a competitive disadvantage

to those firms who responded to the original Request for Proposals (RFP) in the FY 2018 triennial performance audit. Generally, refinements or narrowing down of the existing scope of work may be allowed, so long as audit requirements per the TransNet Ordinance are maintained.

In preparation of the FY 2018 triennial performance audit scope of work and contract, staff conducted a search for similar performance audits and RFPs from other agencies. Most of the other audits and RFPs available for review focus on the triennial Transportation Development Act (TDA) performance audits required under state law.

SCOPE OF WORK

Fourth TransNet Triennial Performance Audit (OWP 1500200, Contract #5004894)

FY 2018 TRIENNIAL PERFORMANCE AUDIT (FOURTH AUDIT)

The FY 2018 Triennial Performance Audit (fourth audit) will be conducted by the ITOC with the assistance of the independent auditor to review the three-year period between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2017, and make recommendations for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of expenditures under the TransNet Extension Ordinance. This includes, but is not limited to, the degree to which the projects completed are achieving the goals set out in the Ordinance, financial management, project delivery, and oversight and monitoring.

The ITOC has requested that its auditor take a fresh perspective regarding the format of its fourth performance audit. This means that the ITOC will work closely with its auditor to fully leverage prior performance audit results by minimizing review of areas that have been extensively reviewed before. Instead, the fourth audit will focus on outcomes to identify what has been delivered in the implementation of the TransNet Extension Ordinance (Ordinance) and key metrics by which those outcomes should be measured. Shifting the focus of the audit from reviewing processes and organizational structures (as audited during each of the prior audits), the fourth audit will rely on and leverage prior audit results and place an emphasis on outcomes and accomplishments realized under the program.

Also new, the fourth audit will expand on discussion regarding the implementation of best practices, as well as provide comparisons between SANDAG and its peers, benchmarking SANDAG’s performance against nationally recognized resources such as the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), National Transit Database, and others. Such best practices to include, but not be limited to, data management and public access to data.

In addition, interviews of third parties that may provide additional insight into best practices, such as subject matter experts, peers from similar agencies, and members of citizen advisory groups, or others, will be conducted.

The audit will aim to provide more insight into the public’s perception of the outcomes achieved in the implementation of the Ordinance and provide recommendations as to how SANDAG and partner agencies could better inform the public about transportation options and programs. To gain insight regarding public perception, meetings to invite public input (e.g. charrettes), letters to stakeholders requesting feedback, or other means to gauge commuter perception could be used.

In addition to these new areas of analysis, a review of the changes that have occurred to the implementation of the TransNet Early Action Program (EAP), Regional Bike EAP, New Major Corridor Transit Service Operations, and other TransNet-funded programs since the third audit was conducted will be included. The fourth audit also will include a status review of the implemented recommendations made in the third audit and an evaluation of the effectiveness of those implemented recommendations. In addition, the fourth audit will provide recommendations to increase the efficiency in the approach to conducting future audits. Finally, the fourth audit will evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the ITOC, including adherence to its bylaws.

Attachment 2

5

The Consultant will conduct the fourth audit on behalf of the ITOC, consistent with the TransNet Extension Ordinance. The ITOC has assigned points of contact (ITOC Project Manager and SANDAG Project Manager) for all matters related to the conduct of this performance audit and will provide a point of contact for each of the agencies to be evaluated. The audit will be conducted in accordance with generally accepted governmental auditing standards. These standards require that the Consultant obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for audit findings and conclusions.

A. Performance Audit Scope

The fourth audit will examine the performance of SANDAG, Caltrans, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), North County Transit District (NCTD), and a representative sample of consultants used by these transportation agencies, reviewing material changes that have occurred since the third triennial performance audit was conducted. In addition, the fourth audit will examine the performance of the ITOC, the County of San Diego, the City of San Diego, and a representative sample of the other 17 cities of the San Diego region and key stakeholder groups. The fourth audit also will include a review of the implementation of recommendations made during the third audit.

In particular, the audit will identify outcomes under the overall program in terms of facility and service improvements for highways, rail transit services, new bus rapid transit services, local bus services, senior and disabled transportation services, local streets and roads, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transportation-related community infrastructure to support smart growth development, and related environmental mitigation and enhancement projects and rate those outcomes against agreed-upon key metrics1 and the original goals specified by the Ordinance.2

The audit will evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of Local Street and Road program recommendations from the third audit and the resulting performance and project delivery practices of the larger cities. The audit also will analyze the sharing of best practices across local jurisdictions relative to the Local Street and Road program, through the Cities/County Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) or other channels, in addition to sharing of best practices between SANDAG and Caltrans teams on the implementation of the North Coast Corridor and Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project under the Construction Management/General Contractor (CM/GC) project delivery method.

A review will be conducted to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of streamlining and monitoring efforts implemented since the third audit and to assess performance outcomes of grant activities toward meeting the program goals of, but not limited to, the following grant programs:

Memo To: Dustin Fuller, Chair

TransNet Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee Ariana zur Nieden, Senior TransNet Program Manager San Diego Association of Governments

From: Catherine Brady, Principal Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting

Date: 8/29/2018 Re: Recommendations for Audit Focus Areas and Analysis on Future TransNet Performance Audits

As contractually required, Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting is providing suggestions for potential audit focus areas and additional analysis that could be conducted in future performance audits. Given that the Scope of Work for the last four audits have been broad-sweeping looking at all TransNet areas, we recommend that the next audit(s) be more narrowly or individually focus on fewer areas to allow for greater depth and analysis in those areas of greatest risk, sensitivity, or where the Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) is interested in having its performance auditor review.

This could be accomplished in the next audit cycle in two separate phases. In Phase I, the auditor should perform a thorough reconnaissance and risk assessment to narrow down focus areas to be audited at that time. Discussions with the ITOC Audit Subcommittee will help shape the areas to be audited. As part of the second phases, the auditor would conduct the actual audit fieldwork for the selected areas.

That said, the next audit will certainly need to follow-up on corrective actions taken on the most recent audit recommendations, in particular those related to financing TransNet, performance measurement, and transparency. Other potential areas for audit analysis are provided below—the list is not exhaustive, but rather provides possible areas for ITOC’s consideration. Specifically, Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting proposes the following areas for consideration:

Possible Audit Focus Areas: 1. In-depth review of project cost estimation and update processes, activities, and communications2. Evaluation of project planning, prioritization, and sequencing including criteria used, specific mechanisms

used to apply projects against the criteria, project delays or budget overruns impacts on sequencing ofprioritized projects and the TransNet Major Corridor Program overall, and how adjustments are considered and implemented.

Attachment 3

16

3. Given projected/possible funding shortfalls, assess how the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) will consider which projects may be delayed or have scope reduced and the point in time at which such decisions could be considered as well as what factors would need to be present to warrant that consideration.

4. Analysis of investments of sales tax funds and other leveraged money. In the past, limited focus was on this area, although it could be a low risk area in general.

5. Data governance looking at the policies and procedures for gathering, storing, using, reporting, and disposing of data to ensure accuracy, relevancy, controlled-access, and consistency.

6. Continued look at performance results toward meeting TransNet goals and activities taken to achieve different outcomes.

7. Reviewing transparency and communication of information by exploring options of presenting TransNet data in a more comprehensive, easier to navigate fashion and compare SANDAG activities with tools and features employed at peer transportation agencies such as Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) or San Francisco Transportation Authority (SFCTA). This includes understanding and managing data/information expectations of the ITOC, Board and committees, local constituents, TransNet partners, and the public.

8. Cyber-security practices for profiling threats, preventing attacks, training staff and contractors, incident management, and restoring data.

9. Comprehensive review of one or two specific Local Street and Road projects that are deemed significant, controversial, sensitive by nature, or have increased public interest such as the City of Encinitas “congestion relief” project adding a round-about. This could include a detailed file review of all related project documentation and decisions, schedules, budgets, bottlenecks, change orders, performance, progress payments, procurement, and comparing specific road, lane, or interchange activities proposed with what was actually provided and built. This could also entail, where possible if data is captured, analyze any “before” and “after” performance of the improvement in relation to overarching TransNet goals of safety or congestion relief.

10. Environmental Mitigation Program progress on new Memorandum of Understanding and reporting on performance.

11. Follow-up on progress made on the two Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) projects reviewed as part of this audit cycle—North Coast Corridor and Mid-Coast and identify, in more detail than the standard follow-up on audit recommendations. Identify whether expected benefits from this delivery method have been achieved.

Periodic Audit Focus Areas: Past audits focused on certain areas that were successfully functioning or did not have significant changes in practice. Thus, we recommend that continued focus on these areas is not warranted at this time; although these areas could be incorporated into future audit Scope of Works on a more periodic or rotational basis or if identified as part of the audit risk assessment phase.

17

These periodic focus areas would include: • Change orders and task order amendments • Project management practices over local streets and roads • Grant practices • Environmental Mitigation Program acquisition and restoration activities and expenditure • ITOC practices, other than possible comparison of member selection protocols with other entities

Proposed FY 2020 Program Budget Amendment: GObyBIKE San Diego: Construction Outreach Program

Overview

The GObyBIKE San Diego: Construction Outreach Program will build awareness, enthusiasm, and support of new bike infrastructure that will be opening as part of the Regional Bike Plan Early Action Program, and will educate all mode users on how to safely navigate the project area(s) during construction and after opening. The Construction Outreach Program will focus on 18 bikeways in the City of San Diego located in the urban core, San Diego Bay, and the U.S./Mexico border region (Attachment 1). SANDAG competed for and was ultimately awarded $1.381 million of state Active Transportation Program funds in May 2019 from the California Transportation Commission. These state funds will be matched with existing local TransNet bike funds already in the FY 2020 Program Budget (Attachment 2).

Key Considerations

Benefits of the program will include improved safety during construction and after facilities open to the public for users of all travel modes, increased awareness and support for the bikeway capital projects under construction, and increased use of biking and walking for everyday trips by users of all ages and abilities. The program will increase awareness and the likelihood to try biking as a commute option within and among disadvantaged communities and regional employment centers.

The program will include messaging focused on safety, sustainability, health/wellness benefits, and how the new bikeway projects can serve the potential users’ needs. The education component will emphasize how to use new facilities, whether on foot, bike, or driving, and how to connect to desired destinations. The encouragement component will center on the reasons to travel by bike, and will be bolstered by project location-specific messaging in traditional advertising, web ads, and social media, such as “Going to a Padres game? GObyBIKE on the new Imperial Avenue Bikeway!” or “Going to Coronado beach? GObyBIKE on the Bayshore Bikeway!”

As construction activities continue, SANDAG will work with local partners, including the San Diego County Bike Coalition, the Business Improvement District Council, and other organizations, to further sustain the program beyond this initial start-up.

Fiscal Impact:

Pending approval of accepting the state funds, construction outreach activities are funded through FY 2022 for the Regional Bikeway Program.


None.

Action: Discussion

The ITOC is asked to consider the proposed budget amendment for consistency with the TransNet Extension Ordinance.

2

Next Steps

Pending action by the Transportation Committee, the Board of Directors is scheduled to consider this item at its October 25, 2019, meeting. If approved, SANDAG will immediately put the program in motion beginning with preconstruction activities for the recently awarded Georgia – Meade and Landis Bikeways Projects starting this fall.

TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program: FY 2020 Annual Funding

Overview

At its September 10, 2019, meeting, the Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP) Working Group recommended approval of the allocation of $4 million in funding for FY 2020 for regional land management and monitoring consistent with the FY 2019-2020 Work Plan, as shown in Attachment 1.

Key Considerations

The TransNet Extension Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, approved by voters in 2004, includes the EMP, which provides funding to mitigate habitat impacts from regional and local transportation projects and provides funding for regional land management and biological monitoring.

Each year, the Board of Directors allocates $4 million toward implementation of regional land management and biological monitoring pursuant to a TransNet Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with state and federal agencies on the implementation of the EMP.

The FY 2019-2020 Work Plan is based on the objectives and priorities included in the Management Strategic Plan and outlines the overarching goals, area of emphasis, and key milestones for regional management and monitoring. The proposed funding levels for FY 2020 in Attachment 2 are consistent with the adopted TransNet MOA.

Next Steps

If approved by the Board, the FY 2019-2020 Work Plan would be implemented with the approved budget for FY 2020 and an annual status report on the EMP would be provided in early 2020.

TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program: Regional Management and Monitoring FY 2019-2020 Work Plan

Approved by SANDAG Board of Directors, October 26, 2018

Introduction

The TransNet Extension Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, approved by the voters in November 2004, includes the Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP), which provides funding to mitigate habitat impacts from regional and local transportation projects, and provides funding for regional land management and biological monitoring. The EMP is a unique component of the TransNet Extension Ordinance in that it goes beyond traditional mitigation for transportation projects by including a funding allocation for habitat acquisition, management, and monitoring activities to help implement the regional habitat conservation plans. This funding allocation is tied to mitigation requirements and the environmental clearance approval process for projects outlined in the Regional Transportation Plan and to implement the Habitat and Open Space policy objectives developed as part of San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan.

Each year, the Board of Directors allocates $4 million to implement regional land management and biological monitoring pursuant to a TransNet Memorandum of Agreement with state and federal agencies on the implementation of the EMP. In 2013, a technical document entitled Management Strategic Plan (MSP) for Conserved Lands in Western San Diego County was developed to increase the efficient use of both the TransNet funding as well as other outside local, state, and federal funds. The MSP has several elements dealing with species management, wildlife connectivity, wildfires, and regional monitoring that will promote the purpose of the TransNet EMP. The MSP is available at: https://sdmmp.com/msp_doc.php.

The purpose of the MSP is to identify a roadmap to prioritize actions that are needed to ensure the persistence of key wildlife species, maintain ecosystem processes, and maintain healthy natural communities in an efficient and integrated manner across the region in the context of a changing ecosystem due to wildfires, habitat type conversion, and climate change.

Table 1, on page 11 of the FY 2019-2020 Work Plan, identifies the funding needs to implement these efforts in FY 2019.

FY 2019-2020 Strategic Goals and Areas of Emphasis

To guide the development of the annual allocation of regional management and monitoring funds, a set of strategic goals have been approved by the Board of Directors to implement the MSP. These strategic goals identify long-term areas of achievement that should remain relatively unchanged on an annual basis. Supporting these strategic goals are the areas of emphasis and achievement milestones, which will be updated each year to highlight particular areas of focus for the coming year and as measure of success.

Strategic Goals

1. Promote key sensitive species persistence and resiliency through management actions to prevent extirpation and extinction.

2. Promote native vegetation communities persistence and resiliency through the development and implementation of strategies to maintain and increase habitat quality.

3. Improve wildlife movement through the identification of critical linkage areas and implementation of strategies to enhance the physical and genetic connectivity of species across rural and urban landscapes.

4. Promote regional coordination through the facilitation and coordination with existing land management efforts, development of best management practices, and leverage existing funding.

Areas of Emphasis and FY 2019-2020 Milestones

The highest priorities for SANDAG during FY 2019-2020 are to build off prior work to continue with monitoring and management of species and their habitats, while reducing threats and increasing collaboration and use of best practices across the region.

1.0 Promote Key Sensitive Species.

1.1 Priority Rare and Endemic Plants Recovery

The MSP has identified 32 rare plant species that could either be entirely lost within San Diego County, where significant occurrences of the species could be lost, or where species specific management actions are needed to ensure persistence.

Achievement Milestones FY 2019-2020

• Continue providing regional coordination for Rare Plant Monitoring. Work with land managers and contractor to survey for 14 MSP priority rare plants in 2019 and 9 in 2020, and identify threats and management needs.

• Analyze rare plant monitoring data collected in 2014-2018. Provide recommendations for monitoring and management and develop best management practices for land managers.

• Incorporate results of rare plant monitoring, genetic studies, regional population structures, conceptual models, and best management practices to develop the MSP Seed Collection, Banking and Bulking Plan and MSP Rare Plant Management Plan for eight priority rare plant species to prioritize and guide management actions.

• Coordinate with Marine Corps Air Station Miramar on the results of their willowy monardella demographic monitoring and hydrologic studies. Develop assessments at current and historic locations and suitable habitat on Conserved Lands to address the effects of hydrologic modification on the species and the potential for expansion of occurrences. Use this information to design future surveys for this species.

1.2 Priority 1 Vertebrates Recovery

The MSP has identified 19 rare vertebrate species that could either be entirely lost within San Diego County, where significant occurrences of the species could be lost, or where species specific management is needed to ensure persistence. Another 28 species are included as priorities for vegetation-focused management. Eleven of these 47 rare vertebrate species have been prioritized for regionally supported FY 2019-2020 vertebrate recovery management.


Amphibians

• Provide coordination for region-wide arroyo toad surveys based on the regional monitoring strategy being developed by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Continue supporting land managers on the implementation of priority management actions. Update surveys conducted in FY 2002-2003 in the Multiple Species Conservation Program area and in FY 2016-2017 in North County and other areas identified in MSP. Collect additional genetic material for analysis.

Reptiles

• Continue to monitor and enhance occurrences of previously translocated southwestern pond turtles at Sycuan Peak Ecological Reserve (Sweetwater watershed) and Rancho Jamul Ecological Reserve (Otay watershed). Identify, manage, and translocate southwestern pond turtles to additional sites in the San Dieguito and San Diego River watersheds to build the population to sustainable levels.

Birds

• Continue to support management of cactus nurseries, coastal cactus wren habitat restoration, and fire management to protect cactus wren habitat in North and South County.

• Complete the five-year coastal cactus wren study to assess population status, reproduction, dispersal, survival, food availability and habitat quality in South County in order to provide specific management recommendations to recover populations and enhance resilience during drought periods.

• Conduct surveys and collect genetic material from coastal cactus wrens in San Pasqual Valley. Analyze the collected genetic material and previously collected material from South County for nestling diet analysis and to determine if populations have recovered from reductions in genetic variability and population size.

• In 2019-2020, provide regional coordination for coastal California gnatcatcher range-wide surveys, repeating efforts carried out in 2016 and analyze the data.

• Complete the five-year study on golden eagles to monitor movement, habitat use, and population demographics. Develop and implement management recommendations.

• Repeat least Bell’s vireo surveys conducted in the Tijuana River Valley in 2017 to assess changes to vireo populations and measure how vegetation is responding to shot-hole borer damage.

• Complete the five-year study to evaluate the status of the southwestern willow flycatcher along the San Luis Rey River and survey additional watersheds with the potential to support the species. Develop and implement management recommendations.

• Continue to provide technical support to implement priority management actions for the western burrowing owl as identified in the management plan completed in 2017.

• Working with partners, participate in the statewide Tricolored Blackbird survey effort to document presence/absence, estimated numbers and habitat characteristics. Coordinate with land managers to restore suitable habitat and determine management needs.

Mammals

• Support land managers in the implementation of management recommendations from the previously completed study on Townsend’s big-eared bat and pallid bat roosts and foraging sites.

1.3 Priority 1 Invertebrates Recovery

The MSP has identified five rare invertebrate species that could be entirely lost within San Diego County. Another two species are included as priorities for vegetation focused management.

5


• Continue Hermes copper butterfly monitoring and habitat assessments to document status and assess habitats and threats. Continue monitoring effectiveness of translocations and develop best management practices for captive rearing. Implement high priority management actions from the management plan. Work with partners to develop and implement a monitoring plan that will track long term status, habitat and threats to this species.

• Continue Harbison dun skipper host plant, adult, larval and hibernation surveys and habitat assessments. Implement high priority management actions from the management plan.

• In 2019 continue to conduct surveys for Quino checkerspot butterfly and map host plant distribution to develop a metapopulation model to guide development of a monitoring plan and identify management opportunities to increase connectivity and enhance populations. Prepare a Quino Habitat Checkerspot butterfly monitoring plan and begin regional monitoring in 2020. Develop interim Quino checkerspot management plan and implement high priority actions. Develop and include in MSP Seed Collection, Banking and Bulking Plan for Quino checkerspot forbs, and host plants and implement to restore habitat. Support U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) efforts to captive rear larvae and translocate to reestablish and augment wild populations.

• Provide technical support to land managers for implementation of vegetation and species monitoring and management for vernal pool invertebrate species, San Diego fairy shrimp and Riverside fairy shrimp (and western spadefoot toad where suitable conditions are present).

1.4 General Stressors and Threats Management

There are numerous existing and newly emerging threats in the San Diego region that need on-going management for the long-term persistence of native species (see Vol 2 of MSP).


• Provide technical support for the management of tern sites at Mission Bay Park to support successful breeding of California least tern.

• Provide technical support for the eradication of feral pigs in San Diego County.

• Finalize an Invasive Animal Plan with a strategy and bio-control methods for the prioritization and management of invasive animal species in San Diego County. Complete and implement an invasive animal database and early detection rapid response system.

• In collaboration with statewide efforts, continue to provide funding for shothole borer-Fusarium complex monitoring, management, and research and education to formulate and implement management actions.

• Implement management actions based on the recommendations from the completed Argentine ant and urban runoff studies.

• Provide technical assistance to model habitat suitability for MSP species under alternative future climate change scenarios. Conduct a spatially explicit vulnerability assessment of potential climate change impacts to Conserved Lands across the MSP area. Model response of animal occurrences to climate variability.

2.0 Promote Native Vegetation Communities.

2.1 Vegetation Community Monitoring and Recovery

Vegetation communities serve as habitat for priority plant and animal species and as surrogates for ecosystem health. Changes in the vegetation communities due to fires, invasive species, droughts, climate change, and other factors may be causing a landscape level change to these communities.


• Continue to develop and implement the regional vegetation monitoring strategy to determine ecological integrity of coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and riparian and oak woodlands in the San Diego region.

• Initiate the development of a grazing plan by coordinating with land managers on using grazing as a large-scale management tool to control invasive non-native grasses and forbs and restore ecological integrity and benefit MSP species in coastal sage scrub and grassland habitat.

• Implement a regional vegetation monitoring study to measure the responses of coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and grassland vegetation communities to changing environmental conditions (e.g. climate, fire). A pilot study was carried out between 2007 and 2014 by San Diego State University to implement and evaluate field based and landscape-scale remote sensing monitoring methods for coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and grassland vegetation communities, and workshops held to develop conceptual models and vegetation monitoring goals and objectives. Work proposed for in FY 2019-2020 will expand the San Diego State University work to look at the San Diego region.

• Completed adaptive management actions identified in the South County Grasslands Project to increase native grass and forb composition and bare ground components of grasslands and coastal sage scrub using layered treatments (e.g., mowing, herbicide, fire, and seeding) on four preserve areas of ≥500 acres.

2.2 Pro-active Wildfire Planning and Management

Large wildfires in 2003 and 2007, plus more recent smaller wildfires, have severely impacted populations of key species identified as critical by the MSP and their habitats. Management action to reduce threats pre- and post-fire and during suppression need to be implemented.


• Support preparation of a Fire Ignition Reduction Plan with specific recommendations to prevent wildfire ignitions affecting Conserved Lands in the MSP area.

• Develop a regional MSP Resource Avoidance Areas Map integrated into fire agencies’ Wildland Fire Decision Support Systems and preparation of Preserve Fire Management Plans for Conserved Lands.

• Support establishment of a Wildland Fire Resource Advisor Program for locally-owned lands that integrates with federal and state programs.

7

2.3 Invasive Plant Species Management

Invasive plants pose a threat to existing native plants and increase the risk of wildfires by changing the natural ecosystem. In 2012, an Invasive Plant Strategic Plan was completed for managing invasive plant species in San Diego County.


• Continue to work with the County of San Diego Department of Agriculture, Weights, and Measures to implement the Invasive Plant Strategic Plan.

2.4 Updated Vegetation Mapping

Vegetation mapping of the County is essential for tracking changes in vegetation cover on Conserved Lands through time. A vegetation classification system was developed, and a vegetation map was produced for western San Diego County in 2012, with further refinements in 2014.


• Collaborate with land manager to implement an updated vegetation mapping effort to start in 2020 implementing the recommended ten-year cycle to update regional vegetation mapping

2.5 Enforcement

Non-authorized use of the preserve system continues to cause impacts to MSP species and their habitats and increase the costs of habitat maintenance and restoration.


• Support preserve managers and land owners in enforcement of unauthorized activities on open space lands. Work with local jurisdictions to evaluate and promote opportunities to work with local law enforcement staff similar to efforts completed in FY 2017-2018 with cities of San Diego and Carlsbad.

2.6 Preserve Level Management Plan Standardization

Integration of the MSP goals and objectives into preserve level management plans will provide better coordination between regional and preserve level data collection and MSP land managers management and monitoring efforts.


• No milestones are included in the FY 2019-2020 workplan at this time.

2.7 Land Management Implementation (e.g. grants)

The EMP Land Management Grant Program has been an important source of funding for implementing management actions to benefit MSP species and their habitats in the San Diego region.

http://www.installitdirect.com/blog/california-native-plants-water-wise-gardening/

8


• Develop a 10th cycle of land management grants, focusing on implementation of the MSP goals, leading to a request for proposals in FY 2020.

2.8 Emergency Land Management Fund

An Emergency Land Management Fund has been established for use in large-scale emergency situations impacting MSP species and their habitats and or which known management options are available.


• Continue to incrementally build the emergency land management to increase it to $500,000.

3.0 Improve Wildlife Movement.

3.1 Wildlife Corridor and Linkages Monitoring

Species need to move to maintain population size and genetic diversity. In a landscape fragmented by urban development and linear infrastructure, restrictions to movement could result in a risk of extinction or extirpation.


• Work with land managers to implement management actions based on the results of studies that evaluated the genetic connectivity of horned lizards throughout the MSP.

• Continue monitoring the status and movement of mountain lions in the San Diego region to evaluate the long-term trends and responses to corridor improvements. Collaborate with Orange and Riverside counties to improve regional connectivity. Test deterrent methods to reduce livestock losses in areas of the County with high depredation pressures.

• Complete the study to determine the movement of mule deer using genetic DNA fingerprinting at prioritized areas in the North County using the same techniques as used in South County and across State Route 67 (SR 67).

• Work with partners to develop and implement a region-wide camera monitoring strategy for wildlife.

• Continue the study begun in 2014 to determine the locations and movement of American badgers in western San Diego County, assess habitat and threats, and examine ways to improve badger connectivity and reduce mortality. Prepare a specific management plan with recommendations for badger habitat management and for connectivity enhancement within the Management Strategic Planning Area.

• Continue to support and work with partners to implement the existing linkage improvement recommendations from previous studies at prioritized locations in San Diego County.

• Support local efforts to implement the State Route 94 and SR 67 Wildlife Infrastructure Plans.

2018 Regional Transportation Improvement Program: Amendment No. 8

Overview

The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a five-year document that reflects funding sources, project phases, and fiscal years of implementation for all transportation-related projects in the San Diego region that: (1) use federal, state, or TransNet funds; (2) increase capacity of the transportation system; or (3) are regionally significant. SANDAG develops the RTIP based on projects included in San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan, as submitted by member agencies (local jurisdictions, transit agencies, Caltrans).

The 2018 RTIP covers FY 2019 – FY 2023 and is fiscally constrained, meaning that sufficient revenue is committed or reasonably assumed to be available from local, state, and/or federal sources for each phase of the included projects. Amendments are made to the RTIP on a quarterly (or as-needed) basis to reflect funding or scope changes. Amendment No. 8 is a quarterly amendment which implements the budget amendment approved by the Board of Directors on September 27, 2019, and changes to other state and local projects as requested.

Key Considerations

The changes are summarized in Attachment 1, with explanations for the significant changes. The proposed amendments are detailed in Attachment 2. Attachment 3 contains the map from the Board approved budget action. As funding for some of these projects was provided with non-TransNet funds and/or in years outside of the RTIP, not all projects on this map are included in the amendment.

Attachment 4 summarizes the eligibility requirements for projects to use TransNet funding. Amendment No. 8 includes three new TransNet projects. These projects were reviewed by the ITOC at a special meeting on September 16, 2019, and were found consistent with the TransNet Extension Ordinance.

Although the ITOC has reviewed the FY 2020 budget amendment for consistency with the TransNet Extension Ordinance, additional TransNet-funded projects are included as part of this RTIP amendment. The ITOC is asked to review and comment on the proposed Amendment No. 8, focusing its review on the TransNet-funded projects.

Action: Discussion

The ITOC is asked to provide feedback on the proposed Amendment No. 8, focusing its review on the TransNet-funded projects.

Fiscal Impact:

Amendment No. 8 reflects an increase of $356.1 million of funds programmed for the five-year period of the 2018 Regional Transportation Improvement Program. The increase in TransNet Major Corridor funds is $54.7 million.


Approval of Amendment No. 8 will provide funding to implement the projects in the FY 2020 budget amendment, as approved by the Board of Directors on September 27, 2019.

Next Steps

On October 25, 2019, the Board is scheduled to review and approve Amendment No. 8 to the 2018 RTIP.

Eligibility Requirements Analysis for 2018 RTIP Amendment No. 8

TransNet Eligibility The TransNet Extension Ordinance (Ordinance) and the TransNet Ordinance and Expenditure Plan Rules (SANDAG Board Policy No. 031) establish guidance and requirements for the use of TransNet. Projects must comply with these rules to be considered eligible for TransNet and that compliance must be evaluated through the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).

Projects programmed in the RTIP must satisfy the following criteria to comply with the Ordinance. They must: (1) be consistent with The 2019 Federal Regional Transportation Plan (Regional Plan); (2) be approved by the governing body of a local agency following a public hearing; (3) be on a Regional Arterial to utilize Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) funds; (4) at least 70% of local street and road funds are used for congestion relief; (5) accommodate bicycles and pedestrians; (6) be financially constrained; and (7) follow the Public Participation Policy. Each of these items is tested every time the RTIP is amended and each amendment must maintain the conformity of the 2018 RTIP to the Ordinance.

Project Eligibility for the 2018 RTIP All TransNet-funded projects in the 2018 RTIP meet all requirements set forth by the Ordinance and were reviewed by the ITOC on May 9, July 11, and September 12, 2018. The ITOC recommended the projects to the Regional Transportation Commission. SANDAG has made the following eligibility findings for Amendment No. 8 to the 2018 RTIP under Board Policy No. 31 rules.

Rule No. 7 – Program of Projects Approval Process and Amendments

An amendment to revise the TransNet Program of Projects (POP) must first be approved by the governing body of the local agency proposing the revision within the preceding 12 months. All projects a local agency wishes to include in its POP must be consistent with the long-range Regional Transportation Plan. A POP amendment, which includes but is not limited to adding a new project, deleting an existing project, revising the project scope, or otherwise changing the TransNet funds programmed, requires that the local agency hold a noticed public hearing with an agenda item that clearly identifies the proposed project amendments and submits a resolution using the language and deadlines prescribed by the Regional Transportation Commission as documentation of governing body approval.

1) Finding: The 2018 TransNet POP, through Amendment No. 8, is consistent with the Regional Plan (policies, programs, and projects). All projects conform to the scope, cost, and schedule included in the Regional Plan.

2) Finding: All local agencies submitting project revisions impacting TransNet funding in Amendment No. 8 have submitted a signed resolution attesting to having held a public hearing within the preceding 12 months.



22

Rule No. 18 - Use of Local Street and Road Funds for Congestion Relief

As specified in Section 2(C)(1) of the Ordinance 04-01, at least 70% of the revenues provided for local street and road purposes should be used for congestion relief purposes and no more than 30% for maintenance purposes.

3) Finding: All projects programmed in Amendment No. 8 have been designated as Congestion Relief or Maintenance consistent with guidelines set forth in Attachment 2 of Board Policy No. 31.

Rule No. 21 - Accommodation of Bicyclists and Pedestrians

Section 4(E)(3) of the Ordinance requires that all new projects or major reconstruction projects funded with TransNet shall accommodate travel by pedestrians and bicyclists except where prohibited by law or disproportionate cost.

4) Finding: All projects programmed in Amendment No. 8 have indicated that adequate provisions for bicycle and pedestrian travel have been made according to the guidelines in Board Policy No. 31.

Rule No. 23: Application of TransNet Extension Ordinance Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program Requirements

5) Finding: Projects in Amendment No. 8 that have RTCIP funds have been designated as Regional Arterials consistent with the Regional Plan.

Financial Constraint

The projects contained within the 2018 RTIP must be reasonable when considering available funding sources.

6) Finding: The proposed Amendment No. 8 does not exceed the current Board of Directors-approved TransNet revenue forecast amount for the current biennial and the five-year period of the RTIP.

Board Policy No. 25 – SANDAG Public Participation Policy

The SANDAG Public Participation Policy requires that a draft of all formal RTIP amendments be provided to all interested parties for a 15-day comment period. SANDAG accomplishes this by posting it in the Public Notices section of the website.

7) Finding: The draft Amendment No. 8 was posted for public review on comment on October 2, 2019, ending on October 22, 2019.

Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Update

Overview

The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit project (Mid-Coast) extends the Metropolitan Transit System Blue Line Light-Rail Trolley from Old Town to University City in San Diego. Please see Attachment 1, Mid-Coast fact sheet.

Key Considerations

Mid-Coast is currently on schedule and service is expected to begin in late-2021. Construction is about 66% complete. Highlights this quarter include advancing the new Trolley bridge over San Diego River, bridges over Rose Creek, and completing pre-cast girder installation for the Trolley bridge flyover above the Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo Rail corridor tracks. In addition, the final pre-cast concrete girders were placed on the Genesee viaduct and placement of the concrete deck on top of the girders has begun. Work on structure or platforms at all nine stations is underway. Track installation has started in the at-grade segment between Tecolote Creek and the Balboa Station and on the aerial guideway on the UC San Diego campus.

In the last quarter, an additional property was settled, and Mid-Coast light-rail vehicles continue to be delivered ahead of schedule. The contractor continues to meet interim disadvantaged business enterprise goals for the project.

Next Steps

Work on track, signals, and power supply is scheduled to begin. Right-of-way settlements will continue to be negotiated. Public outreach remains a priority to inform the public of project status and construction impacts, particularly for traffic impacts from bridge work on Interstate 5 south of Nobel Drive.

Key Staff Contact: John Haggerty, (619) 699 6937, [email protected] Attachments: 1. Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project Fact Sheet

2. Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee Chronology of Key Actions/Summary of Significant Decisions

Action: Information

An update on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit project will be presented.

Fiscal Impact:

The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit project is expected to be completed within its budget of $2.17 billion.


The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit project is on schedule to complete construction in mid-2021, with revenue service beginning in late-2021.

MID-COAST CORRIDOR TRANSIT PROJECT FACT SHEET

Transportation

The Project

The Mid-Coast Trolley will extend the Trolley

Blue Line service from the Santa Fe Depot in

Downtown San Diego north to the University

City community, serving major activity

centers such as Old Town, Mission Bay, the

University of California, San Diego (UC San

Diego), and Westfield UTC.

The route begins just north of the Old Town

Transit Center, travels in existing railroad

right-of-way, and alongside Interstate 5,

to serve UC San Diego and University City.

The extension will serve nine new stations:

Tecolote Road, Clairemont Drive, Balboa

Avenue, Nobel Drive, VA Medical Center,

Pepper Canyon (serving UC San Diego

west campus), Voigt Drive (serving UC San

Diego east campus), Executive Drive, and

the terminus station at the Westfield UTC

transit center.

The Need

Freeways and arterials in the Mid-Coast

corridor are generally congested, and traffic

congestion is projected to increase as the

region grows. By 2030, population in the

corridor is forecast to increase 19 percent

and employment is expected to increase

by 12 percent. The University City area has

developed as a major employment and

high-density residential area, similar to

Downtown San Diego. University City is

San Diego’s second downtown, and UC San

Diego is a high transit use area with students

and employment. SANDAG just opened a

regional transit center at Westfield UTC, and

the Mid-Coast Trolley will directly connect to

the transit center, increasing transit ridership.

The Mid-Coast Trolley extension will provide

an effective alternative to congested freeways

and roadways for travelers, improve public

transit services, and enhance travel options

by connecting the corridor with areas served

by the existing trolley system.

Project Costs

The current project budget is $2.17 billion,

which includes financing costs.

Project Status

In fall 2014, the SANDAG Board of Directors

and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

gave final environmental clearance to the

project. In September 2016, through its

New Starts Program, the Federal Transit

Administration signed a Full Funding Grant

Agreement with SANDAG to provide the

nearly 50 percent federal match needed to

fund the project and allow construction to

immediately start in fall 2016. In June 2017,

SANDAG secured a loan from the federal

Transportation Infrastructure Finance and

Innovation Act (TIFIA) program, which

reduces borrowing costs and increases

flexibility that will save taxpayer dollars in

building the largest transit project in the

region’s history.

Pre-construction activities - consisting of the

relocation of underground utilities - began in

early 2016, and primary construction activities

started in fall 2016. Construction is now well

underway along the entire 11-mile alignment.

Service is scheduled to begin in 2021.

Funding Status

The Mid-Coast Trolley extension is fully

funded. The project is one of the highest

priorities for SANDAG in its TransNet Early

Action Program. The FFGA is providing

approximately 48 percent of the project

funding, with TransNet providing the

remaining local match. TransNet also will

provide operating funds for the Mid-Coast

Trolley extension through the year 2048.

Summary

The Mid-Coast Trolley extension will improve

access to growing employment, education,

and residential areas. A trolley extension

is particularly well-suited to the corridor

because:

» It connects with the existing regional rail

system at the Old Town Transit Center

and Downtown San Diego at Santa Fe

Depot, providing a vast improvement to

mobility within the region.

» As an extension of the existing Trolley

Blue Line, it will offer a one-seat

(no transfer) ride from the international

border and communities south of

Downtown San Diego all the way to

University City.

» It will connect residents of the corridor

with major activity centers such as

the VA Medical Center and two major

hospitals, UC San Diego, Westfield UTC,

Old Town, and Downtown San Diego.

North Coast Corridor Program Status Update

Overview

The North Coast Corridor (NCC) program, or Build NCC, as described in Attachment 1, is a comprehensive set of transportation, environmental, and coastal access projects to reduce congestion, improve the quality of life for residents, create a stronger local and regional economy for the future, and enhance the coastal environment.

Projects are built using the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery method, which is a best value construction procurement method. The CM/GC contractor is a joint venture of Flatiron, Skanska, and Stacy Witbeck contractors. The project budget for construction currently is $869 million and includes federal, state, and TransNet funds.

Key Considerations

The first phase of construction of Build NCC will extend through the cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Carlsbad. Construction began in late 2016 and the improvements are scheduled to open to the public in late 2021. The scope of Build NCC includes the extension of the Express Lanes from Manchester Avenue to SR 78, replacement of the San Elijo Lagoon highway and rail bridges, restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

Build NCC continues to be on schedule and within budget. Major accomplishments in the last three months include:

• Completion of concrete pours for northern San Elijo Lagoon pedestrian bridge

• Completion of pedestrian and bike enhancements on the south side of Encinitas Boulevard and Santa Fe Drive

• Completion of concrete paving for phase one of the San Elijo highway bridge (new outside bridges)

• Significant drainage, electrical work, irrigation cross-overs, asphalt base paving, and concrete pavement in the median of Interstate 5 completed

Additional detailed information can be found in Attachment 2.

Action: Information

An update on the North Coast Corridor program will be presented.

Fiscal Impact:

The project budget for construction of the North Coast Corridor program is $869 million and includes federal, state, and TransNet funds.

About the ProjectBuild NCC is the first phase of construction of the Caltrans and SANDAG North Coast Corridor (NCC) Program in the cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Carlsbad. Build NCC is part of a comprehensive set of transportation, environmental, and coastal access projects to improve the quality of life for residents, create a stronger local and regional economy for the future, and enhance the coastal environment.

Highway Improvements

Caltrans and SANDAG will extend an Express Lane on Interstate 5 (I-5) - one in each direction - from Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach to State Route 78 (SR 78) in Oceanside. Additional highway improvements include replacing and lengthening the San Elijo Lagoon highway bridge to accommodate the Express Lanes and help improve lagoon tidal flow; building several sound walls on private property; constructing a new Park & Ride/Multi-Use Facility at the I-5/Manchester Avenue interchange; and adding auxiliary lanes. The Park & Ride/Multi-Use Facility will provide parking for carpools, bike racks, electric vehicle charging stations, and recreational access to the San Elijo Lagoon and the new North Coast Bike Trail.

Rail Improvements

Improving the coastal rail line is a central component of Build NCC. The San Elijo Lagoon Double Track Project is part of a larger plan to improve the coastal rail system by adding a second track, allowing trains traveling in opposite directions to pass without slowing down or stopping, increasing efficiency and reliability. Other project features include the replacement and lengthening of the rail bridge spans over the San Elijo Lagoon. Additionally, at-grade rail crossing improvements will be made at Chesterfield Drive in Encinitas.

Lagoon/Bike/Pedestrian

Build NCC includes the restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon. The restoration project, is being made possible by the TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP), coordinated with the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and resource agencies. Restoration will enhance the lagoon’s wetland and upland areas, improve tidal flushing, and includes beach sand replenishment.

Improving coastal access is a critical component of the NCC Program. Build NCC will include new east-west and north-south bicycle and pedestrian trails in and around the San Elijo Lagoon.
