The Butte County region and its member jurisdictions will receive an estimated$129.4 million dollars
($12.9 million per years over a 10-year period to implement roadway improvement projects including
roadway resurfacing, rehabilitation and construction,grade separations, safety improvement projects,
traffic control improvements, "Complete Street"projects„ and maintenance improvements.
Below is the 10-year estimate of local streets and road funding by jurisdiction:
BI��S 597,283
CHICtO $ 28,879,740
RIG►LEy $ 1,984,780
dROCVILLE $ 5,178,713
PARAiSE $ 8,015,417
COUNTY OF BUTTE $ 88,987,820

STATE HIGHWAYS
Based on estimates provided by Caltrans, Butte County can anticipate a significant increase in highway
funding under the State Transportation Improvement Program(STIP) and State Highway Operation and
Protection Program (SHOPP).
Since SB 1 passage in April of this year, Butte County has already received over$82 million in funding
for projects on State Route 70 and 99, and will see additional STIIP and SHOPP funding approved for
State Route 70 in March 2018. Below is a list of specific state highway projects funded by SB 1 in Butte
County:
STATE ROUTE 70 — Widen to 5 Lanes from OphirRoad to Butte County Line 172,180 000
STATE ROUTE 99—ITS Project from Estates Drove to Garner Lane $ 11,800,000
STATE ROUTE 70—SHOPP Overlay from Garden Dave to SR 149 $ 2,000,000
TOTAL $ 185,780,000
Note:,In addition to the the above stated highway funding another$50 million is expected to be available
for funding on Butte County State highways. This would bring a total 10—year investment in Butte
County infrastructure to nearly 133 million dollars.
PUBLIC TRANSIT
Based on Caltrans estimates, Butte County will receive approximately 14 million in additional funding
for Butte Regional Transit operations and capital programs over a 10-year period.The additional funding
for transit will reduce the contributions from the cities and the county,thus providing additional funds for
other transportation projects.

In addition, SB 'I includes competitive grant programs for transit operations and capital projects that
BCAG and local jurisdictions may apply for.
SB 1 SUMMARY
Butte County and its local jurisdictions stand to receive approximately$376 million in much needed
transportation funding over the fen-year term of SB 1.
SB 1 will allow the cities and the county to begin construction on a backlog of local street and road
improvements for the first time in over a decade,to fix pot-holes, repave roadways and make needed
safety improvements.
SB 1 will allow also BCAG and Caltrans to widen State Route 70 to four-lanes in Butte County to address
recent fatalities and complete a long standing goal to connect Chico to Sacramento by a four-lane
highway.This project will also have significant economic benefits for all of Butte County.
SB 1 was supported by the California League of Cities,the California.State Association of Counties,and
the California Association of Councils of Governments.

EF Ili °I" 'T 0 REPEAL SIM
There is an organized effort to put an initiative on the November 2018 ballot to ask voters to repeal the
gas and diesel tax increases that fund 'SB 1. If SB 1 were to be repealed, Butte County would lose
hundreds of millions of dollars in needed transportation funding for local streets and roads,and
State Route 70 would not be improved to four-lanes.
Additionally,there is no alternative funding identified to pay for the critical transportation improvement
projects in Butte County outlined above should SB 1 be repealed, all of these roadway improvement
projects will not happen, California voters could have an important decision to make regarding the
state's transportation future next November.
