� 2 -A ib REVENUE/PROGRAMS Potential Revenue from San Mateo County Motor Vehicles There are approximately 700,000 vehicles in San Mateo County. Therefore, a $4 fee would raise approximately $2,800,000 a year in revenue. Any fee assessed by the C /CAG Board must be previously justified through the adoption of a specific budgeted work plan and performance measures. The split between the Congestion Relief Plan and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program would be determined based on the specific work plan adopted by the C /CAG Board. However, it is anticipated that it will be an approximately equal share between the two programs. Therefore, this would provide approximately $1,400,000 a year for both the Congestion Relief Plan and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program. Congestion Relief Program The first objective of AB 1546 is to maximize the capacity of the current transportation infrastructure through transportation system measures. Provide a source of funding for four years for development and operating expenses for the following types of transportation programs. - Implement components of the Intelligent Transportation Systems Master Plan such as ramp metering. - Countywide Transportation Demand Management. This will encourage transit usage and ridesharing to reduce cars on the freeway. - Local shuttle service and employee shuttle service to provide service to local areas not covered by the bus system and to connect with Bart and Caltrain. - Real Time Information Systems on the freeway including traffic cameras/ monitoring. Provide pertinent information on signage to assist drivers in improving their commute. - Advanced accident removal systems and automatic diversion of traffic around the accident site through signage and signal coordination. - Bicycle and Pedestrian facilities to encourage use of alternative modes. - Park and ride lots to encourage transit usage. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program The second objective of AB1546 is to address the storm water pollution that flows to the creeks, streams, San Francisco Bay, and ocean as a result of the debris from motor vehicles and its infrastructure. The stormwater program is an unfunded State mandate. • Provide a source of funding for four years for development and operating expenses for the following types of storm water pollution prevention programs that are mandated under the Clean Water Act. - Countywide public education through various media on how to handle vehicle waste and debris.
