CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution authorizing the submittal of eight (8) project applications for FY 2005/06 Hazard
Elimination Safety Program (HES) Funding
Background:
The Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998 requires that 10% percent of
the apportioned Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds be made available for safety programs as
defined by Section 130-Railway Highway Crossing Program and Section 152-Hazard Elimination
Program of Title 23, United States Code.
The HES Program is a reimbursement program that provides funds for safety improvements on any
public road, surface transportation facility, any publicly owned bicycle or pedestrian pathway or trail,
and for any traffic-cahning measures. These funds serve to eliminate or reduce the number and severity
of traffic accidents at locations selected for improvement. It is anticipated that District 8 Agencies,
which includes Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, may receive a total of $1,500,000 to fund their
HES Projects this fiscal cycle.
Development Services has nominated eight (8) projects: five (5) Safety Index (SI) and three (3) Work
Type for the FY 2005/06 HES funding cycle. Safety Index Projects are calculated on a SI Worksheet
and are prioritized on a points system basis. The project locations have been considered for safety
improvement upgrades as a result of their 3-year accident history analyses, council, citizen, and SBPD
requests. The HES application deadline is April IS, 2005. The HES Projects, which require a 10%
local match, are listed as follows:
I. 9th Street at "H" Street: Traffic Signal Upgrade. (S1)
2. Rialto Avenue at "I" Street.: Traffic Signal Upgrade (SI)
3. Mt Vernon Ave. at Base Line Street: Signal Upgrade (SI)
4. Base Line at "H" Street.: Traffic Signal Upgrade (SI)
5. 30lh Street at Waterman Avenue: Signal Upgrade
6. Rialto Avenue at Meridian Avenue: New Traffic Signal
7. Emmerton Elementary School: New Traffic Signal
8. RiaIto Ave. at Pepper Ave.: Traffic Signal Upgrade

Financial Impact:
Beginning with the 2003/04 Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) HES Program Plan, the maximum federal
reimbursement ratio for any HES project will be 90% percent and the maximum federal reimbursement
amount for any project will be $360,000. In accordance with that requirement, the City would be
obligated to allocate 10% percent local matching funds of $56,550, if all eight (8) of the projects are
awarded. It is anticipated that the local match would come from the Traffic Systems Construction Fund
in the FY 2006/07 budget.
