STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
Page 1 of 3
DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 – Fiscal Year
2026-27 Project List
Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Transportation and Operations Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider adopting a list of projects funded in Fiscal Year 2026-27 by
Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2026-27 Funded by Senate
Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City will receive an estimated $2,095,719 in funding from the Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Account in Fiscal Year 2026-27. This is in addition to the state gas tax funds the
City receives, which are anticipated to be $2,154,909 in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Any unspent or
unallocated funds will be carried forward for use in future years.
DESCRIPTION:
In April 2017 the State Legislature passed, and Governor Brown approved Senate Bill (SB) 1,
the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, creating the Road Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Program to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the
local street and road system through increased fuel taxes. It also established a significant,
stable, and ongoing increase in state transportation funding. Funds for the program are
deposited into the State Transportation Fund, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account
(RMRA). SB 1 is generating approximately $5.4 billion annually for improvements in state and
local transportation.
The following lists the transportation taxes allocated to cities and counties by SB 1 with the
26
Page 2 of 3
estimated Fiscal Year 2026-27 tax rate. The initial 2017 rate is shown in parentheses. Annual
rate adjustments to these taxes began July 1, 2020 (July 1, 2021 for the ZEV fee), for the
change in the California Consumer Price Index .
Gasoline excise tax of $0.161 per gallon ($0.120 per gallon)
Diesel excise tax of $0.268 per gallon ($0.200 per gallon) - Half of this tax is allocated to
RMRA and the other half is allocated to the Trade Corridors Enhancement Account .
Vehicle registration tax called the “Transportation Improvement Fee,” based on the
market value of the vehicle
Vehicle registration tax of $121 on zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) of model year 2020
and later (started at $100 effective July 1, 2020)
RMRA funds are in addition to the traditional state gas tax funds, which have been in place for
decades and are allocated by the State of California through the Highway Users Tax Account
(HUTA). The rules associated with the use of RMRA funds are similar, but not identical to the
rules associated with HUTA funds. RMRA funds must be used for projects that include, but are
not limited to, the following:
Road maintenance and rehabilitation
Safety improvements
Railroad grade separations
Traffic control devices
Complete streets improvements
Additionally, if a city or county has an average Pavement Condition Index of 80 or more (very
good to excellent), then the city or county may spend its RMRA funds on transportation
priorities other than those listed above. The City currently has a three-year moving average
Pavement Condition Index of 78.
Maintenance of Effort
SB 1 requires that RMRA funds do not supplant existing general revenues that the City is
using on streets and roads. This is referred to as the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement.
The MOE is calculated by the State Controller based upon the City’s average spending for
street and road purposes for Fiscal Years 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. Based on that
calculation, the City’s MOE is $1,229,320. The City’s planned expenditures exceed this
required level for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Reporting Requirements
For the City to receive RMRA funds, SB 1 requ ires the annual submission of a List of Projects
to the California Transportation Commission. The List of Projects must be adopted by the City
Council by July 1 in the form of a resolution adhering to the reporting guidelines. Dublin’s SB 1
project list for Fiscal Year 2026-27 includes one project, the Annual Street Resurfacing Project,
CIP No. ST0117, described below.

Annual Street Resurfacing Project, CIP No. ST0117
Project Description
The Project consists of reconstructing and upgrading existing curb ramps to meet the latest
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Associated improvements include sidewalks,
concrete and drainage improvements needed to support the curb ramp upgrades, as well as
detectable warning surfaces and targeted curb exten sions.
This Project is a phased pavement preservation program, where ADA improvements are
constructed in advance of planned roadway maintenance treatments , including cape seal. This
ensures compliance with accessibility requirements and avoids rework during subsequent
pavement rehabilitation.
Project Locations
Curb ramp upgrades are along Brighton Drive, Castilian Road, Penn Drive, Amador Valley
Boulevard, Hacienda Drive, Gleason Drive, York Drive, Silvergate Drive, and Newcastle Lane,
included as Attachment 2.
Estimated Project Schedule
The components being funded with RMRA funds are anticipated to begin in June 2026 and
conclude in December 2026.
Estimated Project Useful Life
The ADA upgrades done as part of this Project will have a useful life of approximately 20
years.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Strategy 5: Long-Term Infrastructure and Sustainability Investments
Objective A: Continue to explore funding mechanisms for capital and ongoing maintenance
needs.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The City Council Agenda was posted. The project was also presented to the Alameda
Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee on April 30, 2026.
