DISCUSSION:
On April 28, 2017, the Governor of the State of California signed Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The “Gas Tax” funds shall be for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both state highway and the local street roadway system.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, eligibility of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding requires cities to adhere to specific documentation submittal to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Prior to the City of Fontana approving apportionment of the RMRA funds, a list of projects proposed to be funded by SB 1 must be adopted by the City Council at a regular public meeting.
For Fiscal Year 2026-2027, it is anticipated the City will receive $6,149,643.00 of SB 1, RMRA funds. The Public Works & Engineering Department has identified the following list of projects for SB 1, RMRA funding use:

• Summit Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation
• Canyon Crest Drive Pavement Rehabilitation
• Grid 35 ADA Curb Ramp Replacement
• Citywide Slurry Seal Pavement Maintenance
• Engineering Design Services for Pavement Rehabilitation Works within Caltrans R/W as defined in the Freeway Maintenance Agreements
