City of San Francisco, California: Advanced Transportation & Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Initiative (ATCMTD)- 2017
Section IV: Budget
Budget
The SFMTA estimates a budget for the Next Generation Transit Customer Information System of approximately $58.1 million through 2020. Incorporating responses from vendors through the Request for Information (RFI) process, the SFMTA has prepared cost estimates which we believe to be rea- sonable if not conservative. Later in 2017, the SFMTA expects to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP), at which point the agency will be able to refine cost estimates and project scope. The SFMTA also expects to negotiate quantity discounts given the large size of its transit fleet and system.
Phase I consists of replacing the existing real-time information system, including digital signage at all powered shelters and rail stations. Phase II consists of system enhancements, including the capability to generate alternatives and crowding alerts as well as advanced analytics. Phase II will also include on-board digital signage on new electric trolley coaches and motor coaches, and integration with screens aboard new light rail vehicles to permit real-time information. The Phase II budget and scope will be more fully defined by the implementation of Phase I. The budgetary and 'real-world' aspects of Phase II's enhancements will depend on each element's cost-effectiveness, project readiness (off the shelf viability), and relevance to a richer and better transportation experi- ence. All aspects of Phase II development will be reported on to USDOT, and we will look forward to USDOT's guidance as a partner in helping SFMTA deliver a well-conceived array of enhancements after Phase I is complete.
The budget assumes that the SFMTA will cover all fully-loaded soft costs, including project and sup- port staff, planning and contracting, public outreach and operating costs. SFMTA's in-kind match will also cover project contingencies. The project has been entered into the agency's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for specific funding programming. The SFMTA respectfully requests a 20% ACMTD funding match for Phase I and II capital expenditures, or $10.1 million, through 2020.
The SFMTA has an array of non-federal funding sources at its disposal to provide local match to the
$10.1 million ATCMTD request:
- SFMTA fund sources:
- Revenue Bonds: the Agency has the authority to release its own revenue bonds. To date, the agency has issued $366 million of revenue bonds and has an outstanding rating. In May 2017, Moody's affirmed the SFMTA's rating of "Aa2" and a Stable Outlook. Moody's analyst indicated SFMTA has the highest transit rating of any system in the US. Also in May, Standard & Poor's noted that the Agency's "AA" rating is currently the highest rating on revenue bonds or certificates of participation issued by a transit agency in the U.S."
- Array of operating revenues: in addition to fares, the Agency has a broad array of revenue sources at its disposal including sales tax revenues (State Transportation Development Act), State Transit Assistance (recently augmented by the enactment of State Senate Bill 1), parking revenues, advertising revenues, developer impact fees, etc.
- San Francisco General Obligation bonds (GO Bonds): The voters of the City and County of San Francisco have authorized the release of up to $500 million of general obligation bonds for capital transportation projects. The program has approximately of $430 million of capacity left.
- Prop K Local Transportation sales tax program: this ½-cent sales tax generates approximately
$102 million per year, with approximately 70% of these funds available for SFMTA capital projects. - New State Sources: the passage of Senate Bill 1 (noted above) will bring billions of new trans- portation capital dollars to the State of California. Though the mechanics of the program are still being developed, the SFMTA is guaranteed $11 million annually of new State Transit Assistance funds for capital projects.
