Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving and Adopting the City of Rocklin Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan.

The City of Rocklin’s 2018-2022 Capital Investment Plan was adopted by Resolution 2018-188.  The first phase of the Traffic Signal ITS project is to create an ITS Master plan to provide direction and recommendations for implementation.  This ITS Master Plan is also a requirement in order to compete for grant funding to support this type of work.

The ITS Master Plan builds upon the General Plan and Traffic Circulation Element by setting the vision, goals and objectives for traffic flow from an operational perspective.  As the master plan was developed, the existing traffic signal system was evaluated; system gaps and opportunities for deployment were identified, and budgetary cost estimates were created for planning purposes.  The Executive Summary provides key highlights and also provides an overview of the proposed deployment strategies.

Currently, $1,334,000 is approved in the 2018-2022 Capital Investment Plan which is funded in the FY 18-19 budget in Lighting and Landscape District 2 (Fund 235) and Traffic Circulation Fee (Fund 302) for ITS infrastructure and the central traffic management system equipment.  Once an ITS Master Plan is accepted, staff will at a later time bring the Council recommendations for implementation which include partnering with local utilities and/or City owned installation options.

A fiscal analysis of this request has been completed by the Department Head and approved by the City’s Finance Division.  No fiscal impact has been identified as the amounts noted in this request are included in the original budget plus any additional appropriations as approved by Council.  Accounts are noted in the table below to demonstrate available funding.
