COVID-19 Impacts to the Economy, State Budget and Transportation Revenues Kiana Valentine Partner Politico Group
The State Budget Fallout from COVID-19 • The Department of Finance estimates the budget shortfall due to COVID-19 at $54.3 billion, reflecting a combination of revenue loss, a spike in caseloads, and expenditures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. • This includes current year (FY 2019-20) and budget year (FY 2020-21) revenue losses and increased expenditures. • The size of the estimated deficit is more than three and a half times the updated size of the state’s Rainy Day Fund, which, under any other circumstance, was broadly considered quite healthy. • The $54.3 billion figure doesn’t consider the $16 billion in total reserves of which the State can access approx. $10 billion in FY 20-21. • The May Revision will have to offer solutions to cover a shortfall that represents nearly 37 percent of the current $147.8 billion General Fund budget, absent significant assistance from the federal government. • The bulk of the deficit comes from a projected $41.2 billion revenue decline over the next 14 months from the Governor’s January budget assumptions. The state's big three tax sources — personal income, sales, and corporations — will plummet by about 25 percent. • Legislative Analyst Office offers slightly better estimates that range from $18 billion to $31 billion depending on assumptions – mainly the depth and duration of the recession. • $18 billion assumes a somewhat optimistic “U - Shaped” recession and $31 billion assumes a somewhat pessimistic “L - Shaped” recession. • Use with care – revenue projections in this environment are particularly challenging for even the most seasoned experts.
COVID-19 Related Impacts to Transportation Revenues • Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) are down, by some accounts, as much as 75% in California. • But traffic is picking back up – Caltrans reports by 30-40% in some reasons below lowest point. • SB 1 helped, not 100% reliant on gas tax revenues, funding comes from TIF and ZEV fee. • Department of Finance (DOF) – gas tax revenues revised downward by $1.2 billion through 2020-21 and $1.8 billion through 2024-25. AASHTO estimates that states will lose 30% of anticipated transportation revenues. • Depth and duration of COVID-19 pandemic induced recession will ultimately impact transportation revenues – what shape will it be? • Starting to reopen the economy means we could recover quicker than some sectors (hospitality, tourism, etc.). • Some observe more permeant changes to behavior, telecommuting, etc. could result from pandemic.
Article XIX Protections Proposition 3 (1938) • Requires tax revenues derived from motor vehicle fuels to be used exclusively for public street and highway purposes. Proposition 42 (2002) • Locked into the constitution formulas directing the expenditure of state gasoline sales tax revenues for transportation. • Allows the state to suspend Proposition 42 allocations to transportation with a 2/3 vote of the Legislature. Proposition 1A (2006) • Requires that any Prop 42 suspensions be treated as loans and repaid with interest within three years. Proposition 22 (2010) • Prohibits the Legislature from borrowing fuel tax revenue and limited the Legislature’s ability to modify statutory allocations for transportation purposes. Proposition 69 (2018) • Establishes protections for the new diesel sales tax and transportation improvement fee created by SB 1. • Restricts the state from using transportation improvement fee for to repay state general obligation transportation bonds approved by voters before November 8, 2016, including high speed rail bonds. • Restricts revenues from repaying future transportation general obligation bonds unless explicitly approved by the voters.
Federal and State Stimulus Efforts • Federal backfill for lost state and locally generated transportation revenues and long-term reauthorization of a federal surface transportation bill. • HEROES includes $15 billion for surface transportation (approx. $1.4 billion for CA), far below the $50 billion AASHTO ask (approx. $4.5 billion for CA). • California State Senate Democrats proposed $25 billion State Economic Recovery Fund to avoid tax increases, cuts to programs and services. • Economic Recovery Bond.

City and County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) By R. Gary Hicks, P .E. Program Manager, CP2 Center Presented to American Public Works Association May 28, 2020
• Sponsored by League of California Cities, County Engineers Association of California, and California State Association of Counties • Chartered 28 September 2018 www.ucprc.ucdavis.edu/ccpic
Agenda • Welcome and Introductions • CCPIC – Mission and Vision, Scope, Organization – Certificate Program – Planned Certificate Curriculum and New Course Development – Deliverables • Technical Presentation- MTI surface treatment manuals – Chip seals – Slurry Surfacings – Cape Seals – Thin Asphalt Overlays (coming soon) • Questions and Answers
CCPIC Mission and Vision • Mission – CCPIC works with local governments to increase pavement technical capability through timely, relevant, and practical support, training, outreach, and research • Vision – Making local government-managed pavements last longer, cost less, and be more sustainable
Academic Partners • University of California Partners – University of California Pavement Research Center (lead), administered and funded by ITS Davis – UC Berkeley ITS Tech Transfer, administered and funded by ITS Berkeley • California State University Partners – CSU-Chico, CSU-Long Beach, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo – Funding partner: Mineta Transportation Institute, San Jose State University
CCPICOrganization • Governance: – Chartered by League of California Cities, California State Association of Counties, County Engineers Association of California, also provide staff support – Governance Board consisting of 6 city and 6 county transportation professionals • Current Funding – Seed funding for CCPIC set up and initial activities from SB1 funding through the ITS at UC Davis and UC Berkeley, and Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University
CCPIC Scope • Provide technology transfer through on-line and in-person training, peer-to-peer exchanges, and dissemination of research results and best practices in a variety of formats for a variety of audiences • Develop technical briefs, guidance, sample specifications, tools, and other resources based on the latest scientific findings and tested engineering solutions for local agencies to use.
CCPIC Scope • Serve as a resource center for up-to-date information, regional in-person training, pilot study documentation, and forensic investigations • Conduct research and development that produces technical solutions that respond to the pavement needs of both urban and rural local governments
Deliverables
