2013 RTP and 2012 CWTP 2 April 4, 2011 Under S13 375, local governments are explicitly not required to update their general plans in accordance with the SCS. The SCS does not carry the same authority as the Regional Flousing Needs Allocation but it will provide information concerning the distribution of housing at the local level. The adopted SCS land development pattern will, however, help guide regional policies and investments that are made pursuant to the RTP. These regional policies and investments are intended to create financial and other incentives to implement the adopted land pattern in the SCS. At the county level, the ACTC is charged with updating the 25 -year CWTP every four years and coordinating the CWTP with local funding programs. The most recent CWTP identified a number of capital projects impacting San Leandro (such as Westgate Parkway Extension). The City participates in the development of' the RTP and the CWTP by forwarding its plans for transportation development and insertion in the respective plans. Continued involvement by our local elected officials and staff helps to position the City for future funding through grants, matching funds, and other types of support for transportation improvements. The MTC, in coordination with ACTC, has issued a "Call for Projects" for the 2013 RTP and 2012 CWTP and subsequently a new TEP. This effort is being done in a short timeframe to meet the developmental deadlines of the SCS, RTP, and for the CWTP -TEP in Alameda County. The schedule of the Call for Projects, including City items, is as follows: Call for Projects 3/1/11 Facilities & Transportation Committee Input and Review 3/8/1 1 Central County Elected Official Meeting 3/16/11 Public Involvement and Outreach Meeting 3/16/11 City Compiles Project List 3/21/11 City Council Input and Review 4/4/11 Initial Submittal to ACTC 4/12/11 Draft List to M TC 4/29/11 MTC's Call for Projects Guidance, is as follows: o Supports the goals and performance targets of the RTP /SCS o Serves as a regionally significant component of the regional transportation network.
