RECOMMENDATION: 1) Accept this report.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Alameda County is paying for the majority of the Study
to develop the Plan. Dublin has contributed $2,000
plus Staff time to provide input and monitoring of
the Study. The total study cost is projected to be
$765,000.
DESCRIPTION: Alameda County, in conjunction with the cities within
the County, local transit agencies and representatives
from State and Regional agencies, is in the process of preparing a County-Wide
Transportation Plan. This plan will be used to develop transportation systems
for Alameda County to support the proposed land use for the year 2010. This
report is to provide the City Council with an update on the County-Wide
Transportation Plan.
This project began in August 1989. The schedule for completion of the County-
Wide Transportation Plan has been updated and it is now expected that the
County-Wide Plan will be completed in the Fall of 1991. At this time,
approximately 75% of the project has been completed.
The traffic consultant, Barton-Ashman, first divided the County into four
planning areas; the City of Dublin being in Planning Area #4 (the Tri-Valley) .
They have now completed seven different Year 2010 transportation alternatives,
each alternative having a different set of improvements. The total number of
alternatives to be developed and analyzed is eleven. From these alternatives,
a final Transportation Plan will be selected for Transportation Plan
Commission members' approval.
Of the seven study alternatives now completed (see attached A.M. Peak Hours
Vehicle Miles Traveled On Congested Highway/Capital Cost Chart) , no one
alternative tested is best for all planning areas. The results of the studies
show that in each alternative scenario for Planning Area #4, the congestion
was much worse than the existing conditions. This was not always the case for
the other three planning areas. There are several reasons for this: planning
area #4 is the least developed area; the amount of development projected to
take place during the forecast period is generally higher in area #4; and the
existing traffic conditions in area #4 have the least mileage of congested
streets.
A major portion of these studies are being done with the help of a new
county-wide computer model. This computer model also will be used for the
Congestion Management Plan (CMP) (see the attached informational memo on CMP) .
However, because of the need to study major transportation routes, this model
will not give the local agencies information on more local streets and a more
detailed, local model is being worked on for the Tri-Valley Cities area as
part of the newly-approved Joint Powers Agreement. This local model will
allow Dublin and other Tri-Valley cities to calculate levels of service on
our arterial road system and test the traffic effects of proposed
developments.
Staff will continue to monitor and participate in the study and will report
back to Council as the study nears completion.

CITY OF DUBLIN
MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 1, 1991
TO: Lee Thompson, Public Works Director
FROM: Mehran Sepehri, Sr. Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: Congestion Management Program (CMP) Status Report
In June of 1990, voters approved legislation which increased funding for
California's transportation system. Approval of this legislation could increase
the City's gas tax revenues by approximately 300. These funds can be used for
street and highway improvements and maintenance, and also the administration
related to it. However, to receive these funds, a Congestion Management Agency
(CMA) must be established. The CMA is responsible for developing the programs i
and procedures that meet the requirements of the legislation. This includes
developing the Congestion Management Program (CMP) . The following major elements
are required for the development of the CMP:
- An element defining the CMP system and its Level of Service (LOS) standards.
- A transit standards element.
- A Transportation Demand Management (TDM) element (Trip Reduction) .
- A program for analyzing the impacts of the land use decisions.
- A seven-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) .
The City has a vested interest in implementing CMP's because the programs are
prerequisite for obtaining State and local monies.
In an effort to expedite matters, subcommittees for the five CMP elements were
created prior to the CMA being established. The subcommittees for Level of
Service (LOS) and Transit Standards have made their recommendations. The LOS
subcommittee recommended a Level of Service not worse than E, except where F is
already the LOS of the street. Also, the subcommittee recommended to monitor
LOS on an annual basis and the first study should be completed by June, 1991.
The subcommittee for Transit Standards made recommendations that only effect the 1
transit districts. The City's funds from this legislation cannot be used for
transit.
i
The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) subcommittee made their preliminary
recommendation that each city adopt a Trip Reduction Ordinance (TRO) . If TRO is
implemented, the City could be responsible for monitoring the program.
j
j The Program for Analyzing the Impacts of the Land Use Decisions Subcommittee made
their first progress report available to the members. The subcommittee will be
recommending that any General Plan Amendment (GPA) which will generate over 100
p.m. Peak Hour Trips would be subject to CMA review. This subcommittee also may I
recommend once a year to update the land use and circulation data.
Extra part-time staff or consultant time may be needed for monitoring and data +
� collection of these elements.

I will keep you informed on final recommendations from the subcommittees as they
are made.
