2 (very) Quick History In 2006 The voters approved Proposition 1B: $19.9 billion transportation bond program - The bond included $1 billion for SR-99 - $250 million for the Highway- Railroad Crossing Safety Account

3 Ten years later We delivered! SR-99 Projects: - Fresno/Madera Widening - Avenue 12 I/C Madera - Widening (Arboleda section) Merced - Widening (Plainsburg section) Merced - Widening (South Stockton) San Joaquin - Widening (Manteca) San Joaquin - Widening (Goshen to Kingsburg) - Tulare

22 In Summary (the Good News) SR-99 Projects were delivered More Rail-Road Grade Separation Projects were delivered in the SJ Valley than any other region! The SJ Valley was a delivery machine!

23 Now the Bad News!! In June the CTC was forced to cut 700+ million from the STIP SJ Valley projects deleted: - Fresno SR-41 - Kern SR-14 - Madera SR-99 - Merced SR-152

24 In June the CTC was forced to cut 700+ million from the STIP SJ Valley projects deleted: - San Joaquin Rail double track - Tulare SR-99 - Merced SR-99 This includes over $80 million for SR-99 construction!

25 Where do we go from here? Hope that a solution/compromise/ can be developed The partnership can help by encouraging a solution be implemented

26 Where do we go from here? The reality is not only does the STIP need to be fixed but the valley is ready to implement the next $1 billion in transportation projects
