EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Annual Report on Transportation shows City progress towards its goals, as well as priority actions for the coming year. The Transportation Commission endorsed the Transportation 2025 Annual Report & 2026 Work Plan on February 25, 2026, and the City Council accepted it on March 17, 2026. The Annual Report is available here:
<https://www.alamedaca.gov/files/assets/public/v/2/departments/alameda/transportation/annual-report/transportation_2025report_2026workplan_final.pdf>
The Status Report on Transportation (Exhibit 1) includes work completed from January-June as part of the 2026 Transportation Work Plan.
The Transportation Commission bylaws state that, “Generally, the Commission shall advise the City Council on City transportation plans, policies, programs, and capital projects, and shall monitor implementation via staff reports on a regular basis, but no less frequently than twice per year.”
The Transportation Commission generally discusses annual and status reports before voting to accept them. Because of the lengthy regular agenda for the July 22 meeting, this report is provided on the consent calendar as information. Staff plans to place this report on the Transportation Commission’s September 23 regular agenda as an action item.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Status Report provides updates on ongoing projects; on its own it has no financial impact.
