Page 1 of 2 BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY AGENDA REPORT For meeting of: May 4, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council VIA: Bob Nisbet, City Manager FROM: John Doughty, Director of Public Works Maziar Bozorginia, City Engineer Jonathan Woo, Assistant Engineer TITLE: SEAMLESS BAY AREA TRANSIT PRINCIPLES ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution supporting Seamless Transit Principles. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. STRATEGIC ELEMENT: This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment and Healthy Communities and Public Safety Elements of the Strategic Plan. BACKGROUND: The Seamless Transit Principles (https://www.seamlessbayarea.org/seamless-transit-principles) are a set of seven guiding principles developed to guide local, regional, and state decision- makers to pursue a seamlessly integrated, world-class transit system that works for people. The principles include the following: 1. Run all Bay Area transit as one easy-to-use system. 2. Put riders first. 3. Make public transit equitable and accessible to all. 4. Align transit prices to be simple, fair, and affordable. 5. Connect effortlessly with other sustainable transportation. 6. Plan communities and transportation together. 7. Prioritize reforms to create a seamless network. They were compiled by Seamless Bay Area, a non-profit 501(c)3 group that advocates for a unified, world class public transit system, with the input of cities and transit advocacy groups, local leaders, transit agency staff, and local elected officials. They are included in full in 5

Page 2 of 2 Attachment 2. They have been endorsed by over 34 organization and 11 public agencies, most recently by the City of Pacifica at their April 12, 2021 council meeting. The overarching purpose in supporting the Principles is to build broad support among cities, transit agencies, employers, advocacy groups, mayors, and local elected officials to the vision of seamless transportation, and to build public awareness and public support for reforms that promote greater regional transit integration and overcome resistance to change within transit agencies. DISCUSSION: The City of Half Moon Bay, and the San Mateo County Coastside region in general, have distinct transit challenges. City Council members and staff continue to advocate for transit improvements, such as bus service frequency, connections to transit hubs such as BART and Caltrain, and other programs related to ride-sharing and localized on-demand bus services. Councilmembers serve as representatives to various transit boards/groups, such as the City/County Associate of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) Board of Directors, and City staff is also involved in regional transit issues, such as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s SB 375 implementation, the Transportation Demand Management Policy update through the C/CAG, and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority’s strategic plan update technical advisory group. By adopting this resolution, the City of Half Moon Bay City Council will be supporting the Seamless Transit Principles which is consistent with the advocacy work Councilmembers and staff continue to pursue related to improving transit for the City of Half Moon Bay.

Resolution No. C-2021-____ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY SUPPORTING SEAMLESS BAY AREA TRANSIT PRINCIPLES WHEREAS, the San Francisco Bay Area, despite being an exceptional place to live, faces an uncertain future due to several interrelated crises – decreasing housing affordability, increasing congestion, rising pollution, widening inequality, and the recent COVID-19 public health crisis – all of which are exacerbated by an inadequate and poorly-performing public transportation system; and WHEREAS, despite billions of dollars of investments in new transportation infrastructure over the past five decades, public transit in the Bay Area has failed to attract large numbers of new riders, and has never been used by more than 12% of the population for commute trips since 1970; by contrast automobiles have always been used for over 75% of commute trips; and WHEREAS, the quality of and usage of public transit in the Bay Area has declined in recent years, with transit trips per capita declining by 10%, average bus speeds declining by 9%, and transit commute times increasing by 11% between 2001 and 2016; and WHEREAS, the California Air Resources Board reported in 2018 that no California regions, including the Bay Area, are on track to meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets, with increasing Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) and declines in transit ridership cited as a primary factors; and WHEREAS, using public transit in the Bay Area is inconvenient and costly for many types of trips, requiring riders to use multiple transit systems operated independently with little coordination; pay multiple separate fares; experience unpredictable transfers; and navigate different wayfinding systems and brand identities; and WHEREAS, low-income people, many of whom have experienced displacement and have long commutes requiring multiple transit services, are among the most adversely affected the Bay Area’s poorly integrated public transportation system, experiencing a significant financial burden from needing to pay multiple separate transit fares or being forced into costly vehicle ownership; and WHEREAS, regions with high-ridership public transportation systems are, by contrast, characterized by highly integrated networks of quality local and regional transit services that make traveling without a private automobile convenient and easy for all types of trips, featuring aligned routes and schedules, coordinated transfers, high quality transit hubs, common branding and customer information, and other common regional customer experience standards; and 7

WHEREAS, regions that have successfully integrated and simplified transit fares have experienced many broad social benefits, including a shift in travel from private cars to public transit, an increase in overall public transit usage, and expanded mobility options and cost savings for riders; and WHEREAS, a well-functioning and coordinated transit system plays a critical role in supporting public health and safety during an emergency, with 31% of Bay Area essential workers relying on public transit to get to work; and, during and in the aftermath of major disruptions to our transit system, close coordination among agencies facilitates prioritization of the most critical needs, efficient deployment of resources, and clear communication to customers, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay hereby supports the Seamless Transit Principles listed in Attachment 2 and agrees to be publicly listed as a supporter. ***************************************************************** I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly passed and adopted on the 4th day of May 2021 by the City Council of Half Moon Bay by the following vote: AYES, Councilmembers: NOES, Councilmembers: ABSENT, Councilmembers: ABSTAIN, Councilmembers: ATTEST: APPROVED: ___________________________ _____________________________ Jessica Blair, City Clerk Robert Brownstone, Mayor 8

The Seamless Transit Principles - Viewable at: www.seamlessbayarea.org/seamless-transit-principles 1) Run all Bay Area transit as one easy-to-use system Public transit should work as one seamless, connected, and convenient network across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Getting around on transit should be as fast and easy as driving a car. Coordinated bus, rail, and ferry routes and schedules should encourage effortless transfers. Consistent and clear customer information, branding, and maps should make using transit simple and dignified. 2) Put riders first Riders should feel comfortable when using transit and be treated like valued customers. Public transit agencies must do more to listen to riders and continuously improve service. They must prioritize riders' needs above all else, and overcome all operational, political and bureaucratic barriers to provide an excellent and seamless customer experience. 3) Make public transit equitable and accessible to all People of all income levels, ages, abilities, genders, and backgrounds should have access to world-class public transit. People who are the most reliant on transit are best served by a universal, inclusive, regionally integrated, connected system that is used by all. People with limited means to pay for transit should be provided with discounts. 4) Align transit prices and passes to be simple, fair, and affordable Transit should provide good value for money. Fares across the region's 27 public transit agencies must be aligned into a consistent, fair, and affordable system that encourages using transit for all types of trips and doesn't punish riders for transferring. Cost-effective monthly passes should work across the Bay Area and should be widely available to individuals, employers, and schools. 5) Connect effortlessly with other sustainable transportation A person's journey does not end when they get off a bus or exit a station. Excellent pedestrian, bicycle, and other pollution-free transportation options should seamlessly connect public transit to communities and destinations, supporting door-to-door trips that don't require a car. 6) Plan communities and transportation together High quality public transit should be at the heart of communities across the Bay Area. Transportation should be closely aligned with our region's land use, promoting a connected network of transit-oriented, walkable communities that expands access to affordable housing and job opportunities, and reduces car travel and greenhouse gas emissions. 7) Prioritize reforms to create a seamless network A regionally integrated, world-class transit system won't happen on its own -- it will take leadership, unprecedented levels of cooperation, and changes to existing local, regional, and state policies. The cities, counties, public transit agencies, regional authorities, business leaders, advocacy groups and elected representatives of the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California megaregion must prioritize the broad public interest and urgently work together collaboratively to advance critical reforms. Our future depends on it! 9

FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed amendment to the contract services agreement will result in the increased cost from $80,000 to an annual cost of $110,000 for FY 2020-21. The City has allocated the additional funding as part of Mid-Year budget adjustments. STRATEGIC ELEMENT: This action supports the Infrastructure and Environment, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, Fiscal Sustainability, and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan. BACKGROUND: In November 2017, the City Council and community identified litter cleanup, primarily at Poplar Beach and along the Coastal Trail, as a critical community need. On December 5, 2017, the City Council considered a plan put forth by staff to address coastal clean-up through a collaboration with Abundant Grace (http://abundantgracecw.org). At this meeting, the City Council directed staff to enter negotiations for a one-year pilot program for Abundant Grace to provide clean-up services along the Coastal Trail and beach between Seymour Bridge and Kelly Avenue. The scope of work includes emptying trash cans, cleaning and clearing the area around the trash cans, removing graffiti, and picking up trash on the beach and trail. 10

Page 2 of 2 On November 20, 2018, per the City Manager’s authority, staff executed Amendment No. 1 to the agreement. This amendment included: 1) extension of the agreement to June 30, 2020; and 2) expansion of services to include portions of Poplar Street, Kelly Avenue, Pilarcitos Avenue and the area adjacent to Pilarcitos Creek near the Strawflower Shopping Center. Due to the program’s overall success and positive response from the community, staff brought Amendment No. 2 to Council on June 4, 2019. Council approved this amendment, increasing the program budget to $80,000 for FY 19-20 and FY 20-21. This increase allowed for further expansion of services and the ability to offer work opportunities to a greater number of candidates. The program remains successful and offers work opportunities to many individuals that identify as homeless or extremely low-income. DISCUSSION: Abundant Grace’s work has been beneficial to the City as both an enhancement to the City’s maintenance operations and as a social service. The work of Abundant Grace is supplemental to work of the Public Works Maintenance and the scope of work has been developed to ensure limited (or no duplication of efforts). The work includes litter clean-up in areas impacted by beach goers and schools; the areas are not typically covered by City staff due to prioritization of health, life safety issues and regular maintenance of City parks and facilities. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly more visitor traffic has been observed in the areas served by the program. The City expects this trend to continue through the summer and beyond as more people become vaccinated and travel restrictions are lifted. The proposed amendment will allow for an increase in the number of Clean Team workers from 4-5 individuals to 6-8 individuals per session and provide more scheduling regularity. From July 2020 – February 2021, Abundant Grace has provided employment opportunities to 66 homeless or extremely low-income individuals and has removed over 20,000 pounds of trash from the City’s beaches, neighborhoods, and the coastal trail. The program is on track to remove over 35,000 pounds of trash this fiscal year and has added additional services such as emptying the City’s cigarette butt receptacles and recycling the collected cigarette butts through Terracycle. Abundant Grace has demonstrated success with prior budget increases, including a 50% increase in trash removal between FY18-19 ($65,000) and FY19-20 ($80,000). 11

Resolution No. C-2020-__ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ABUNDANT GRACE FOR THE COASTAL CLEAN-UP PROGRAM WHEREAS, on February 6, 2018, the City Council authorized staff to execute a professional services agreement with Abundant Grace to provide a one-year Coastal Clean-Up Pilot Program for Poplar Beach and the Coastal Trail; and WHEREAS, the agreement was amended on February 25, 2019 to extend the expiration of the contract to June 30, 2019 instead of March 1, 2019; and WHEREAS, on June 4, 2019 the City Council authorized staff to allocate $80,000 in the FY 2019-20 Operating Budget for the Coastal Clean-Up Program and execute Amendment No. 2 to the contract with Abundant Grace to 1) extend the agreement to June 30, 2020; and 2) expand services to include portions of Poplar Street, Kelly Avenue, Pilarcitos Avenue and the area adjacent to Pilarcitos Creek near the Strawflower Shopping Center; and WHEREAS, on June 16, 2020 the City Council authorized staff to allocate $80,000 in the FY 2020-21 Operating Budget for the Coastal Clean-Up Program and execute an agreement with Abundant Grace to extend the agreement to June 30, 2021; and WHEREAS, during this Covid-19 Pandemic year, the City Council continues to value this program and believes that funding an expanded program is desirable and warranted; and WHEREAS, the City Council authorized the City Manager to consider revisions to the contract with Abundant Grace as part of the Mid-Year Budget review; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement through June 30, 2021 with Abundant Grace increasing the amount of contract from $80,000 to $110,000 for the Coastal Clean-Up Program for FY 2020-21. ***************************************************************** 12
