CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET 5-19-26

Page 2 of 3 PTSAP started in earnest in July 2025. Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt the PTSAP at the May 19, 2026 City Council meeting as a separate agenda item, with the SS4A application contingent on having an adopted and current Transportation Safety Action Plan in place. Jurisdictions submitting an SS4A Implementation Grant must complete a Self- Certification Worksheet with their application package. Should the City Council not adopt the separately agendized PTSAP on May 19, staff would not be able to submit the proposed application. DISCUSSION The Fiscal Year 2026 SS4A cycle includes $687,809,874 available for project Implementation Grants. The US DOT anticipates 40 to 70 awards, ranging from $2.5 Million to $25 Million each. The grant pays 80 percent of the total project cost, while local agencies are required to provide a 20 percent local match. TJKM Transportation Consultants aided City staff in developing the PTSAP, and the application package for the SS4A Implementation Grant. During the PTSAP development, the Santa Rita Road Safety Project was identified as a highly competitive grant project. The Santa Rita Road Safety Project was presented to the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee (BPTC) on April 27 to request support for the use of Measure BB funds towards the local match for the project. The BPTC recommends that the City Council authorize the application to the US DOT for the $25 million safety grant. The BPTC noted the limited amount of Measure BB funds the City receives and requested that Measure BB funds be used sparingly, but agreed that, if no other funding option is available, supports a maximum contribution of $1,300,000 in Measure BB Pedestrian/Bicycle funds to the project. The Santa Rita Road Safety Project was presented to the PTSAP Stakeholder working group at its fourth meeting on April 30th, 2026, and any recommendations from this working group will be incorporated into the grant application. The details of the Santa Rita Road Safety Project are shown in Attachment 1 and include safety enhancements at signalized intersections for all roadway users, including eliminating slip lanes, reducing pedestrian crossing distances, improving sight distance and visibility, and improving bicycle crossing treatments. There are also proposed improvements along the entire corridor to upgrade bicycle infrastructure, including converting existing bike lanes to elevated cycle tracks and constructing new cycle tracks. These improvements are expected to help the City reach its goal of reducing fatal and severe accidents along the Santa Rita Road corridor, which experiences some of the highest numbers of injury collisions in the CIty's roadway network, as outlined in the Pleasanton Transportation Safety Action Plan. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Implementation of the grant, if the City's application is successful, advances Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) Strategy TLU-2 E5. Complete Streets Program and the PTSAP. The project and the PTSAP prioritize and take into account safety improvements that will benefit youth, seniors, pedestrians and cyclists as well as motorists. Having a convenient, safe, and comfortable multimodal transportation network is critical to supporting users of all ages and abilities, improving transportation options, and benefiting the environment.
