Recommendation:
By Minute Motion:
1. Authorize staff to apply for the State-legislated Safe Routes to School
program for the replacement of speed limit signs adjacent to schools;
and
2. Approve the expenditure of $184,800 of which $166,320 will be
reimbursed through the program resulting in a net expenditure of
$18,480.
Funds are available in General Fund Account No. 110-4250-433-2145, Street
Lights/Traffic Safety Supplies.
Discussion:
The Public Works Department would like to apply for the State-legislated Safe Routes to
School program. The application would be for the installation of vehicle speed feedback
signs adjacent to all schools within or adjacent to Palm Desert. The cost of the signs is
approximately $184,800 of which the Safe Routes to School program will reimburse the
City for approximately $166,320. The remaining $18,480 is the net cost to the City and
represents the ten percent match required from the City under the program. The
application seeks funding for a total of 28 signs ($6,000 each with a 10% contingency)
for the 12 schools.
The signs would replace existing speed limit signs adjacent to schools and be
programmed to be activated at times when children are present. The City would act as
the lead agency, and would partner with Indian Wells for Ford Elementary School, La

ANNOUNCEMENT: Call for Cycle 8 State-legislated Safe Routes to School projects
Posted: Januar,y 15, 2009
Application Submittal Deadline: April 15, 2009
What is the State-legislated Safe Routes to School (SR2S)Program? '
A reimbursement funding program for reducing injuries and fatalities through capital projects that improve safety for
children in grades K-12 who walk or bicycle to school.
How much funding is available?
$24.25M in State funds was approved in the FY 2008/09 State budget.However, double that amount-$48.SOM worth of
projects will be selected in Cycle 8. This multi-year approach is being implemented to 1)fund projects that are ready to go
first,2)allow better planning for projects that are selected for the following year, 3)minimize workload for District and
Headquarters staff, and 4)improve chances of continued funding for the SR2S program during the budget development
process if decision-makers are aware that projects have already been selected and ready for funding.
How are projects selected?
Caltrans Districts are apportioned funds based on student enrollment. District review committees will score and rate
applications using standardized evaluation forms furnished by Caltrans Headquarters and develop two lists. Once projects
are selected and prioritized,Districts will then determine which projects will be placed on the Tier I list(those that are ready
to go now),and on the Tier II list(thosethat are selected for future funds)based on the project's delivery schedule. Projects
in Tier I will be funded with FY 08/09 funds up to FY08/09 apportionment level, while Tier II projects will be funded when
the next round of funding becomes available. Caltrans Headquarters will validate District selections and compile a statewide
list of selected projects for each cycle for Director approval. Districts will notify all applicants of the results
Who is eligible to apply?
Any incorporated city or county
What types of projects are eligible? '
Capital projects must fall under the broad categories of pedestrian facilities,traffic calming measures, installation of traffic
control devices, construction of bicycle facilities, and public outreach/education/enforcement. See guidelines for examples.
Up to 10%of the construction cost can fund an education/encouragement/enforcement element.
Is there a local match required,and what is the maximum amount of funding that can be requested?
There is a 10%local match required; $900,000 is the maximum amount that can be requested.
Where are the guidelines and applications posted,and how can I get more information?
www.dot.ca.gov/ha/LocalPro�rams/saferoutes/saferoutes htm or contact: Joyce Parks, Safe Routes to School Coordinator at
Caltrans Headquarters at: (916)653-6920 or at: joyce�arks dot.ca.�v_
Where do I send my application(s)?
Original and 1 copy must be sent to your Caltrans District Local Assistance Engineer(DLAE)by the deadline. Applications
postmarked on the deadline are acceptable. DLAE information is available at: www.dot.ca. ov/hq/LocalPrograms/dlae htm
