Background: On December 5, 2001, the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) Board of Directors adopted a Resolution in support of Proposition 42. SANBAG is encouraging member jurisdictions to take similar action. Proposition 42 has been placed on the March 5, 2002, ballot.

Transportation programs in San Bernardino County, including local streets and roads, public transit, and county transportation commission major projects will receive an estimated $1.4 billion in the first 20 years commencing with fiscal year 2008-09. It is estimated that the City of San Bernardino will receive $47,753,021 over that 20-year period for the maintenance and repair of streets and roads. Attached is the SANBAG schedule indicating San Bernardino's proportionate share of the funding. Financial Impact: No cost to the City to support Proposition 42. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution.

As you may already know, Proposition 42 would allocate a portion of the existing state sales tax on gasoline to cities and counties to be used for transportation improvements. Cities and counties combined will receive 40 percent of the Proposition 42 revenues. Twenty percent of will be earmarked for cities for local street repairs and maintenance. Twenty percent of the revenue will be earmarked for counties for local road repairs and maintenance. Another 20 percent is provided to public transit agencies, and the remaining 40 percent goes to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is primarily composed of locally-identified projects. Proposition 42 is an important measure for all cities and counties as it would provide a much needed on- going reliable source of funding for our streets, roads and other local transportation projects. Proposition 42 is especially important now as many local transportation sales tax measures are set to expire over the next few years. I hope that you and your council will join the League of Califomia Cities and the Yes on Proposition 42 campaign coalition of law enforcement and transportation officials, business, labor unions and taxpayers in supporting this measure. Enclosed please find a sample support form and resolution. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact campaign coalition director Ted Green at (310) 996-2671 (tgreen@woodwardmcdowell.com) or campaign internal education director Jason Bamett at (650) 340-0470 Obamett@woodwardmcdowell.com).

WITHOUT HIGHER TAXES SAFER ROADS - TRAFFIC RELIEF - WITHOUT NEW TAXES Requires the gasoline sales tax - A TAX WE ALREADY PA Y A T THE PUMP - be used to improve highways, local roads and mass transit. An annual audit of Prop. 42 funds will be required to help guarantee transportation projects get delivered on time and on budget. Improve Highway, Bridge and Street Safety California's once safe and beautiful highways are now the third most deteriorated roadways in the nation, and growing less safe by the day. More than 6000 California bridges and overpasses are structurally deficient or no longer meet highway safety or design standards. Prop. 42 will provide desperately needed funds to help fix potholes and repair dangerous roads, highways, bridges, intersections and school routes - in every city ancL county in the state. Speed Up Traffic Relief and Mass Transit Projects Los Angeles has the most congested traffic in the country. San Francisco/Oakland is second, San Diego sixth, and Sacramento, San Jose and San Bernardino/Riverside follow close behind. Prop. 42 guarantees gasoline sales taxes - taxes we already pay - will be used for transportation improvements. It will help speed up the delivery of planned traffic relief projects on highways and local roads, and expand local bus and commuter services, such as VTA in San Jose, Sacramento light rail, MUNI, Green and Blue lines in L.A., the San Diego trolley, BART, Caltrain, Capitol Corridor, Southern California's MetroLink, ACE, and the Coasters in San Diego. Create Jobs and Stimulate the Economy Speeding up transportation projects has the added benefit of creating thousands of new jobs in construction, engineering and related services - at a time when we need them the most. Every dollar spent on highway improvements generates about six times that amount in economic benefits.
