The RTIP is developed biennially by each RTPA and is due to the CTC by December 15 of each odd-numbered year. Each RTIP covers a five-year period and adds two new years of programming capacity. The 2022 RTIP for Alpine County is due to CTC on December 15, 2021. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request approval of resolution adopting the 2022 Regional Transportation Improvement Program. ISSUE STATEMENT AND DISCUSSION: In the prior 2020 RTIP cycle, Alpine County allocated its RTIP shares to the Hot Springs Road reconstruction and bridge replacement projects. Hot Springs Road is the only access to Grover Hot Springs State Park and Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest’s Charity Valley/Burnside Lake Trailhead, which attract significant tourism to the County. To fund the Hot Springs Road reconstruction and bridge replacement projects, Alpine County allocated an advance balance in the 2020 cycle, leaving the County overprogrammed by $14,000 for the 2022 cycle. Although Alpine County has a balance of negative $14,000 of regular RTIP funding for the 2022 cycle, Alpine County was allocated an additional $187,000 in Covid Mid-Cycle STIP funds from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA). Staff recommend programming $40,000 of the Covid Mid-Cycle STIP funds for Planning, Programming, and Monitoring (PPM) for this STIP cycle. It is recommended that the $40,000 of PPM funds be divided into $20,000 for this coming fiscal year (FY 2022/23) and $20,000 for the following fiscal year (FY 2023/24). PPM funds will be used to monitor and support the implementation of the Hot Springs Road reconstruction and bridge replacement project. Remaining Covid Mid-Cycle STIP funds may be programmed at a later date, but must be allocated by June 2024.

Background of Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) A. What is the Regional Transportation Improvement Program? The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) is a program of highway, local road, transit and active transportation projects that a region plans to fund with State and Federal revenue programmed by the California Transportation Commission in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The RTIP is developed biennially by the regions and is due to the Commission by December 15 of every odd numbered year. The program of projects in the RTIP is a subset of projects in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a federally mandated master transportation plan which guides a region’s transportation investments over a 20-to-25-year period. The RTP is based on all reasonably anticipated funding, including federal, state and local sources. Updated every 4 to 5 years, the RTP is developed through an extensive public participation process in the region and reflects the unique mobility, sustainability, and air quality needs of each region. B. Regional Agency’s Historical and Current Approach to developing the RTIP In the prior 2020 RTIP cycle, Alpine County allocated all RTIP shares to the Hot Springs Road reconstruction project. Hot Springs Road is the only access to Grover Hot Springs State Park and to the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest’s Charity Valley/Burnside Lake Trailhead and dispersed camping areas. Grover Hot Springs State Park is one of Alpine County’s highest tourist destinations with an average paid attendance of 98,000 visitors per fiscal year. The Hot Springs Road reconstruction project will add paved shoulders for Class 2 and Class 3 bicycle lanes as there is recreation bicycle traffic on the roadway that comes from visitors at the State Park and bicyclists touring the area. The project will also replace the Hot Springs Road bridge. This 2022 RTIP continues to fund planning, programming, and monitoring (PPM) with RIP funding of $20,000 in fiscal year (FY) 2022/23 and $20,000 in FY 2023/24. Section 4. Completion of Prior RTIP Projects (Required per Section 68) From 1998, the beginning of the STIP program, through 2009, the Alpine County Local Transportation Commission (ACLTC) combined their STIP shares with Amador County Transportation Commission Page 5 of 19 5.1.a Packet Pg. 15 Attachment: ALPINE COUNTY 2022 RTIP v1 (Approve resolution adopting 2022 Regional Transportation Improvement Program) ---PAGE BREAK--- 2022 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Alpine County (ACTC) and Calaveras County Council of Governments (CCOG) to complete four State highway projects; the State Route (SR) 4 Cottage Springs Passing Lane, the SR 88 Cooks and Hams Stations Passing Lanes, the SR 49 Sutter Creek Bypass and the SR 4 Angels Camp Bypass. These four projects had a total construction cost of $118 million dollars with Calaveras County contributing approximately $50 million of STIP funds, Amador County contributing approximately $30 million of STIP funds, Caltrans contributing approximately $30 million of IIP (Interregional Improvement Program) funds and Alpine County contributing approximately $8 million of STIP funding. In 2010, Alpine County LTC combined STIP funds with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to reconstruct the roads in Alpine Village and have an asphalt concrete (AC) overlay on Emigrant Trail. This was an approximately $900,000 construction project. Since 2012, Alpine County has focused on funding the Hot Springs Road Reconstruction and bridge replacement project. On October 28, 2015, the CTC allocated Alpine County $330,000 of State-only STIP funding to begin environmental work on the Hot Springs Road Reconstruction project. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental documentation was completed on January 2, 2019. On March 14, 2019, CTC allocated $340,000 for plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E). Of the $340,000 allocated for PS&E, $66,000 went toward National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental documentation. NEPA was completed for the whole project in 2020. PS&E was recently completed for Phase 1 of the project and is ready to go to construction. We currently have $4.18 million programmed in 21/22 and expect an allocation request before the June meeting. Phase 1 will reconstruct the 0.9-mile segment of Hot Springs Road from Laramie Street to Pleasant Valley Road. The reconstruction project is going to bid and expected to be awarded during the 2021-22 fiscal year and begin construction in the 2023 construction season. The bridge will be constructed in the coming construction season. To fund the Hot Springs Road Reconstruction and bridge replacement projects, Alpine County allocated an advance balance in the 2020 cycle. Alpine County is currently overprogrammed by $14,000. For this RTIP cycle Alpine County is using COVID Mid-cycle STIP funds to program $40,000 for planning, programming, and monitoring (PPM) and expects to complete construction projects that were funded in the 2020 STIP.

A sound transportation network between and connecting urbanized areas ports and borders is vital to the state’s economic vitality. The ITIP is prepared in accordance with Government Code Section 14526, Streets and Highways Code Section 164 and the STIP Guidelines. The ITIP is a five-year program managed by Caltrans and funded with 25% of new STIP revenues in each cycle. Developed in cooperation with regional transportation planning agencies to ensure an integrated transportation program, the ITIP promotes the goal of improving interregional mobility and connectivity across California. There is no ITIP funding proposed for the ACLTC 2022 RTIP. Section 9. Projects Planned Within Multi-Modal Corridors (per Sections 11 and 20e) There are no projects planned within multi-modal corridors proposed in this RTIP. C. Relationship of RTIP to RTP/SCS/APS and Benefits of RTIP Section 10. Regional Level Performance Evaluation (per Section 19A of the guidelines) The 2021 Alpine County Regional Transportation Plan establishes a regional goal to “provide a well- balanced regional transportation system that meets the needs of all users.” To achieve this goal the RTP outlines an objective that regional entities should be included in the transportation planning process. This RTIP and prior RTIP funding allocations have aligned with this goal by engaging the community and local organizations to identify transportation priorities in the community. Rather than expand the local network by constructing new roadways, the RTP outlines a goal to maintain the existing roadway network to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of people and goods movement in the region. Alpine County prioritizes RTIP projects that will maintain the existing roadway network and selects roadway and bridge rehabilitation projects that are well supported by the community and will improve routes that are most frequently traveled by residents and visitors. In addition to maintaining the existing network, the RTP also outlines a goal to promote safe, convenient and efficient non-motorized transportation. Wherever possible, Alpine County includes infrastructure improvements for non-motorized transportation. Improving safety, pavement condition, and accessibility for all modes are top priorities for the County, and this is reflected in the projects that the County outlines in the RTP and funds through the RTIP. As a Regional Transportation Planning Agency that is not located within a metropolitan planning organization, Alpine County does not have an adopted Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) or Alternate Planning Scenario (APS).

Regional and Statewide Benefits of RTIP The 2022 RTIP allocates planning, programming, and maintenance funds to assist with the implementation of the Hot Springs Road Rehabilitation project that was funded in the previous RTIP cycle. Hot Springs Road provides the only access to the Grover Hot Springs State Park. The reconstruction of the roadway and the widening of the shoulders to Class 2 or 3 for bicyclist will maintain access to the State Park and to trailheads and primitive campgrounds on the Toiyabe National Forest located along the roadway and encourage multimodal transportation modes. Hot Springs Road improvements will also continue to provide access to the local residents that live off of Pleasant Valley Road and Shay Creek Road as a regional benefit and the improved roadway will continue to provide access to the State Park as a Statewide benefit and for tourism in the Markleeville area. Funding PPM for this project will ensure timely use of funds and help keep the project on schedule.

Project Specific Evaluation (Required per Section 19D) This RTIP does not propose any additional infrastructure projects and includes only PPM funding to complete the previously programmed Hot Springs Road project. The total construction cost of the Hot Springs Road reconstruction project is estimated at $3.347 million for Phase 1 from Laramie Street to Pleasant Valley Road and $9.540 million for Phase 2 from Pleasant Valley Road to end at Grover Hot Springs State Park. There is no right of way costs as all construction work will be within existing right of way. Where work will be within the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest, the County will obtain a letter of consent from the Forest Service. The total cost of the Hot Springs Road Reconstruction project is $12.887 million. The construction cost for the Hot Springs Creek Bridge replacement is $3.966 million. There are no right of way costs as the entire project is on Toiyabe National Forest property and the County has obtained a Letter of Consent from the Toiyabe National Forest to construct the project. Each construction project costs less than $15 million for construction, therefore a project level evaluation is not required for each project. E. Detailed Project Information Section 14. Overview of Projects Programmed with RIP Funding This RTIP does not propose any additional infrastructure projects and includes only PPM funding to complete the previously programmed Hot Springs Road project. Hot Springs Road has a pavement condition index (PCI) of 36 with a remaining life of 0.31 years per the County's 2018 Pavement Management System Update Report. Hot Springs Road is the County's number one tourist destination access for hiking and camping on the Toiyabe National Forest and swimming and hiking at Grover Hot Springs State Park. The existing roadway with minimal to no paved shoulders is also a travel way for bicyclists. The proposed Hot Springs Road Reconstruction and Bike Lane project would save the road and add additional paved shoulders for improved safety for bicyclists. It is also proposed that the Charity Valley/Burnside Lake Trailhead parking area be paved to improve year-round access to the trails. The purpose and need for the project are for the public to continue to have access to Grover Hot Springs Page 13 of 19 5.1.a Packet Pg. 23 Attachment: ALPINE COUNTY 2022 RTIP v1 (Approve resolution adopting 2022 Regional Transportation Improvement Program) ---PAGE BREAK--- 2022 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Alpine County State Park and the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest recreation areas with improved safety for all modes of transportation. See the Regional Map and Site Map below. Hot Springs Creek Bridge has had a history of a slow progressive deterioration of the concrete bearing surface under the girders at both abutments. No bearing pads were used in the original construction, which created a steel-on-concrete contact beneath the girders. There are spalls on the abutment from a combination of live load impact and temperature movement. The bridge needs to be replaced. Since the bridge is located in the middle of a curve, there will be a slight relocation of the bridge to meet current design standards. See the Site Map below.
