After a lot of discussion; Jack Reagan said staff will: 1) look at the figures in terms of the comparison for guards, up those costs, based upon the assumption that what is currently being done with the Downtown Station is now inadequate; 2) look at all the alternatives, we will probably modify both the high capital and the low capital alternatives to reflect that there ought to be guards there during populated hours; and, 3) look at a phased approach. Staff will still look at the capitalization from a logical approach for the entire system and will also look at that in relation to the Downtown Station and presumably can also isolate the cost for each station.

There being no further business to come before the Budget/Finance Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 3:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Nat have Clerk of the Commission • • AGENDA ITEM #5A RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: March 5, 1997 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Administrative Charges to Local Street & Road Recipients The Measure A ordinance provides that the Commission may use whatever is "reasonable and necessary" for costs of administration, other than salaries and benefits. The Commission is, therefore, authorized to take off the top funds needed for administration. The geographic and programmatic allocations are done after administrative funds have been deducted. In addition to taking administration off the top, the Commission has reserved the right to charge administrative fees for ongoing maintenance to cities who have received loans from the Commission. The premise for this is that these jurisdictions had received a special benefit and that the ongoing cost of administering entity specific loans should not be borne by other jurisdictions. However, the Commission has an established financing program for local jurisdictions which is available to all. Staff has recently corresponded with these jurisdictions reminding them of this program and offering the opportunity to participate in the Commission's next bond issue, assuming imminent take out of the commercial paper. At issue, is whether it is appropriate to assess additional charges to those who avail themselves of this financing program. After giving it further consideration, staff is of the belief that these costs should be viewed as a part of the Commission's overall cost of administration and that no additional charges should be levied against any jurisdiction receiving a loan. Despite staff's viewpoint, others may feel that it is inappropriate that their area, jurisdiction, or program be charged for a service they do not benefit from, even if that is by their choice.

Other Revenue: The TUMF share of the debt service on the 93 bonds has ben reduced from $2,888,482 to $1,444,234 at the request of CVAG. Interest Income: Interest earnings have been adjusted as actuals have already exceeded the budget as a result of higher than anticipated cash balances. Commercial Paper Proceeds: Due to project timing differences, lower project costs, and identifying other non debt funding sources for rail expenditures, commercial paper issuance(or senior debt) will not be needed till 98. EXPENDITURES General legal services: Significant litigation is expected over Route 79 eminent domain issues. The legal budget has been adjusted upward by $300,000 in anticipation of at least two upcoming court cases.

Q' Another $150,000 has been carried over and rebudgeted from 1996 for the Phase II design of the Van Buren interchange in the City of Riverside. Q' Subsequent to adoption of the FY97 budget the Commission took action to approve a right turn lane and rockfall mitigation on Route 79: $112,000 has been added to the budget as a result of that action. O Route 215 preliminary engineering was scheduled for completion in 96, but has been carried over to FY97 in the amount of $129,000.

Highway and rail construction: ❑ Design on the soundwalls along the Magnolia to Mary segment of Route 91 is scheduled to be completed in late 1997. Therefore, construction dollars originally budgeted have been removed in the amount of $2,500,000 which will be carried over to FY98. ❑ Rockfall construction along with median barrier and right turn lanes on Route 79 has been added in the amount of $1,234,646. ❑ The southside platform at the Riverside Downtown Station, originally planned for construction in FY97, is now scheduled to begin construction by the third quarter of 1997. The Revised FY97 budget has been reduced by $4,023,760. ❑ Winchester Road construction in the amount of $3,000,000 has been carried over from FY96. ❑ Approximately $3,026,000 has been removed in the Coachella Valley, $1,834,000 of which will be included in the FY98 budget.

O Carried over from the 96 budget is a total of $600,000 for Monroe to Rubidoux in the City of Indio and Washington Street in the City. of La Quinta. SCRRA Capital Contribution: Since other funding sources have since been identified to cover Santa Fe indexing costs of $2,500,000, the budget has been reduced by this amount. Those funding sources include state rail bonds and SCRRA budget surplus. Specialized Transportation: Public transit operators allocated amount will not be programmed and expended till FY98. Operating Transfers Out: Debt service costs for commercial paper have been reduced due to lesser amount outstanding and lower debt costs than originally budgeted. • • Riverside County Transportation

Currently, the Commission requires that all recipients of Measure A and TDA funding be audited by an independent accounting firm of its choosing and under its control. State law governs the requirement for audits of TDA recipients, while Measure A audits have been governed by Commission policy. The Measure A audit policy was designed to be consistent with the TDA policy from the standpoint of annual audits. Measure A compliance steps were designed cooperatively between staff, legal counsel, and the independent auditors based on the requirements of the ordinance and general fiscal accountability. Historically, the Commission has opted to maintain control of this audit process by selecting the auditor and requiring that results be reported to the Board. The rationale for this was that as an oversight agency, the Commission could better exercise that responsibility by maintaining direct control of the audit function. However, there appears to be some sentiment that this policy is unduly intrusive and in some cases duplicative to the entity's own audit. Recognizing that these concerns partially or in their entirety could be justified, staff will be reviewing the Commission's entire audit process to determine what changes, if any, should be made to the Commission's audit policy. That review would include studying potential alternatives that still would address Commission needs while striving to be responsive to the concerns of funding recipients., and the cost effectiveness of the current system versus any possible alternatives. Staff will return in sixty days with its findings and recommendations. To assist in this endeavor, staff may use 'a consulting firm, under the Executive Director's single signature authority, particularly to gather cost data and assist in developing potential alternatives.

The Bechtel contract also provided for limited support from other Bechtel resources on an on -call basis. As a result of requests from RCTC to perform services such as assisting Ca!trans in performing a detailed estimate to relocate the California Department of Forestry as a result of the 1-215 improvements, to perform a study related to installing a rail station surveillance system, to keep Mike Davis available to perform environmental services, to bring Karl Sauer in on several occasions to assist in project close oUt of various projects, and other miscellaneous tasks the on -call portion of the Bechtel contract has been exceeded. The current budget provides for $90,000 for additional Bechtel support that is not currently included in the Bechtel contract. Of the $90,000 that is available, only $45,000 will be required to complete the contract year. Another $15,000 should be used to replace the extra work for future contingencies.

The LTF allocation to pay these contributions is also received in advance of the quarter, thereby resulting in a revenue variance that will correct by year end. Federal. Local. State. & Other Government This category covers revenue sources that are on a reimbursement basis(i.e., not billable until the expenditure is incurred). No expenditures had been incurred for the southside platform and therefore no amounts could be billed. This amount has been revised in the mid year budget since southside platform will not be completed until 98. Other Other revenue includes reimbursement from the Coachella Valley for TUMF participation in debt service for the 93 bonds. The budget amount of $2.8 million has been reduced in the mid year budget to $1.4 million, and will be billed to CVAG in May 97. SAFE fees are paid by the state two months in arrears. Billings to Caltrans for the ITS and STP(commuter assistance) projects were initiated subsequent to quarter end. Interest Income Due to a combination of conservative estimates and higher than expected cash balances, interest earnings are considerably higher than budgeted. This is corrected in the mid year budget revisions. EXPENDITURES General Legal Services Due to a number of difficult eminent domain acquisitions legal costs have been higher than anticipated. Legal costs will be adjusted upward in the mid year budget revisions as additional litigation is anticipated. Highway engineering Expenditures are higher than the original budget due to costs associated with the rockfall mitigation, median barrier, and right turn lanes on Route 79, projects approved by the Commission subsequent to budget adoption. Appropriate adjustments have been made in the mid year budget. Highway ROW Route 79 property acquisitions that were budgeted in 96, did not actually occur till 97. Acquisitions in the Coachella Valley for the Cathedral City Date Palm project did not occur in 96 as expected, and additional acquisitions are now anticipated which were not included in the 97 budget. Substantial adjustment was made to the mid year budget to account for these acquisitions. Rail engineering and construction It was expected that the southside platform work would have started, but work has just commenced.. Work was delayed due to property negotiations with FMC and others. The mid year budget has been reduced as construction will not begin till 98. General Note: The first quarter of the year is primarily directed toward completing end of the year activities. Most vendors do not even began to bill us for current year activities until the month of September. Therefore, first half of the year numbers typically are considerably under budget. Most of the categories will begin to reflect more accurately in relation to the budget by third quarter of the fiscal year. • 94o'45T1LEZs 84T1080'66$ ET4'T54'98 94Z'048'S$ 8ET1T8810T$ LZ9'SLT'4S 4T8'0T419E$ 040'T54'OT$ 8T8'Z08'Z$ 9E4'LZ6'STS L8910ST'ZE$ 8LZ'ESS'L$ 8LL'6E8'Z$ 000'LLE'T$ EZ9'ZTZ'SS 966T' TE lIO3a num.

We are continuing with project close out to resolve final pay estimates and a claim from the Contractor which asserts completion date for the project was delayed by several change orders issued during construction. The Rock Fall Mitigation project has also been completed and we are performing the close out work for that project. Contract award for the Median Barrier project in the southern portion of Lamb Canyon was approved by the Commission on January 8, 1997, We have not issued the contractor a notice to proceed due to a problem related to several slope fill failures and potential conflicts and claims which could occur if two contractors were working at the same time in the area. We are attempting to complete our investigations and have the slope failures which were the result of recent rains repaired prior to starting the median barrier work. Following the heavy rain storms in January, Staff noticed that cracks (parallel to the roadway) were occurring in several of the fill slopes, primarily in areas directly associated with and above drainage systems. Initial inspections by RCTC consultants and Ca!trans lead to the presumption the slopes above these drainage systems were not adequately ' compacted during construction. Further inspections and some materials testing has been conducted by Converse Consultants, the Geotechnical Consultant that had performed the geotechnical studies for the construction project. They also believe, based on their investigations. that the fill slope failures are the result of lack of adequate compaction of the fill material. Since Converse has been the Geotech consultant associated with the design and construction of the. project, and, since could very likely be some disagreement as to the compaction and cause of the slope failures, staff believes that it would be prudent to have a second independent Geotechnical consultant investigate the work performed to date and, provide additional oversight of the proposed fixes to resolve the problems. Staff recommends that the next available firm on the selection list (ranked number 5) Woodward/Clyde and Associates, should be identified to provide the above described oversight services. Due to the urgency of the situation to resolve the problems before the fill slopes deteriorate further, the Executive Director has used his single signature authority to initiate a contract with Woodward/Clyde for an amount not to exceed $10,000. A standard RCTC contract was used. Financial Assessment Project Cost $10,000 Source of Funds Measure A Included in Fiscal Year Budget Y Year Included in Program Budget N/A Year Programmed Approved Allocation N/A Year of Allocation Budget Adjustment Required N Financial Impact Not Applicable STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission: 1) Confirm the appointment by the Executive Director of Woodward/Clyde and Associates to perform geotechnical oversight services for the Lamb Canyon project; 2.) Award a contract for an amount not to exceed $10,000; and, 3) That the standard RCTC model contract be used. " AGENDA ITEM #7A RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: March 5, 1997 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Susan Cornelison, Rail Program Manager THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Items Related to the Construction of the Riverside Metrolink Downtown Southside Platform and Station Track: 1. Award of Amendment 1 to F.R. Harris Agreement RO 97-31 to perform final design; 2. Approval of current project cost estimate; At the October 9, 1996 meeting, the Commission awarded a contract to F.R. Harris to perform Phase I design work to construct a new platform, station track, and pedestrian over crossing across the tracks from the existing Riverside Metrolink Down Town Station adjacent to the BN&SF south main line. These improvements are required under current agreements with the BN&SF Rail Road to minimize impacts to both UP and BN&SF freight traffic on the BN&SF line. At the February 12, 1997 meeting, F.R. Harris presented to the Commission the preliminary findings of the Phase I study and the base plan for the proposed improvements. The project team has also been working with the City of Riverside, BN&SF, Royal Citrus, and other interested parties to refine the design to obtain the best project design with the least adverse impacts to the effected parties. The present Phase I plan establishes the location of the new Southside Platform, pedestrian over crossing, station track and switches relative to the existing and future station improvements. The design is now ready to move forward to Phase II where F.R. Harris will prepare the final bid documents (plans, specifications and estimates) that will be reviewed by all parties. F.R. Harris estimates that the final design portion of this project will cost $426,268 and can be delivered seven months after notice to proceed. A copy of their proposed scope and cost .is included for your review. Staff recommends that a standard contract amendment be used for this amendment to the F.R. Harris contract. The new Harris contract amount will be $685,000. The existing extra work of $86,268 (currently unused) will be maintained. No new extra work will be added to the contract by Amendment1. At the November, 1995 Commission meeting, the initial project costs were reported to be $4,696,000 for the improvements related to the Southside Platform based a report prepared earlier by a separate consultant firm. Current project estimates. indicate that the project will cost about $7,350,000 (without contingency). This is an increase of $2,654,000. The main differences between the initial project estimate and the current project estimate relate to 3 Items: Right -of -Way; BN&SF signaling costs; and enclosing the Riverside Gage Canal. The UP Railway will provide $1,542,000 to fund the project. An additional $7,400,000 is available in Proposition 116 funds that are designated for the Commission's stations and right of way improvements. The sum of these two sources provides $8,942,000 in available funding. A draft estimate of the project costs is provided below. A more detailed estimate will be presented at the Budget & Finance Committee meeting. South Side Platform Project Estimate 1. Project Design (F.R.

The incentive award was to be given to the transit operator exhibiting the greatest performance improvement in the past year. The State Controller's Office has estimated that Riverside County should receive an allocation of $1,629,678 in FY 1997, which would allow for an incentive award of $162,968 (10%). Staff reviewed the performance of all the operators, specifically comparing the change in ridership and cost per vehicle service hour (Table 1). The last column displays the weighted average of the two indicators along with the ranking by operator. This process reveals that Commuter Rail -Riverside and Inland Empire Orange County Rail Services had the greatest overall improvement in system performance with a weighted average of 21.01 %. The two services exhibited the greatest improvement in Ridership (44.74%) as well as the third greatest positive change in Cost/VSH (2.71 %). Staff recommends that we go forward with the intent of the original process suggested by the transit operators and allocate the incentive bonus of $162,968 to Commuter Rail. A letter was sent out to all the transit operators sharing the comparison results. We requested that they inform us whether they were in agreement with our staff recommendation. Those operators that responded to my letter stated they were in support of the staff recommendation. A couple, however, did request the opportunity to review the distribution process next year. We support this suggestion. Assuming approval of the incentive bonus to Commuter Rail, the plan is to use this one time bonus to pay the cost of demonstration bus service between the Coachella Valley and Riverside, with a stop in the Pass Area. There has been much discussion and demand to begin a rail link between these areas, and a demonstration project to gauge demand has been suggested. Funding for this demonstration, however, had not been available. Use of this incentive bonus would be a perfect opportunity to test the market, plus it would actually benefit all the areas --Coachella Valley, the Pass Area (Banning was second in line for the incentive bonus), and the Riverside area. This information was sent out to the policy members of the Short Range Transit Plan Committee on February 24 to obtain their input. We will provide an update at the meeting if we receive any comments or concerns from the members.

To fund the effort, SB 836 required that the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) allocate $1.5 million annually. SB 836 relieves employers having 100 to 249 employees at a worksite from complying with SCAQMD's Rule 2202. If the voluntary rideshare projects can be shown to quantifiably reduce an equivalent amount of mobile source emissions as would have been reduced by the mandatory efforts of the 100 to 249 employee worksites, then SB 836 will continue to be in effect and further relieve employers having 250 to 499 employees at a worksite. On the other hand, if the effort does not prove to be as effective as that accomplished under Rule 2202, then the employer requirements for the 100 to 249 employee worksites will be reinstated. The RTAC charged its Technical Advisory Committee's (TAC) Rideshare Subcommittee (Subcommittee) with developing recommendations for administration, implementation and oversight of the SB 836 effort. The Subcommittee, co-chaired by San Bernardino Associated Governments and RCTC staff, has met frequently to address the many requirements of SB 836. It has truly been an interactive process with all RTAC member agencies at the working table assuming different responsibilities to assist the RTAC in dealing with issues such as which agency would serve as its banker, contracts administrator, project implementor(s), etc. In early January the Subcommittee developed a list of parameters affecting the development of voluntary rideshare projects. The RTAC reviewed these parameters at their January meeting and directed the Subcommittee to return in February with a $1.5 million proposed program of projects. Towards that end, interested members of the RTAC were invited to submit projects for the Subcommittees review. Concept projects were received from Los Angeles (LACMTA), Orange (OCTA), San Bernardino (SANBAG) and Riverside (RCTC) county transportation commission's and SCAG Rideshare. The projects were reviewed and amended based on comments and changes recommended by the Subcommittee. Because the proposal .by SCAG Rideshare overlapped with the LACMTA proposal, SCAG Rideshare withdrew their proposal in support of LACMTA's. The two proposals each requested funds to implement an incentive program for Los Angeles worksites and their employees that would be patterned after RCTC's Advantage Rideshare $2/day incentive project. It is interesting to note that the two agencies independently elected to propose replicating RCTC's Advantage Rideshare because it produces quantifiable and verifiable vehicle trips reduced, therefore meeting an important requirement of SB 836. Given the existing commuter assistance partnership between RCTC and SANBAG, staff from the two agencies collectively identified three projects to jointly submit for SB 836 consideration. The proposed projects totaling $398,110 are described in detail in Attachment A. They are designed to build upon existing employer/commuter assistance efforts in the Inland Empire and reach target markets generally considered to be more difficult to shift to alternative modes. The three projects are briefly summarized as follows: 1) 1-10 Commuter Reduction Program focuses on worksites along the corridor from 1-15 to the Los Angeles County line in anticipation of construction impacts scheduled to begin in the summer of 1997 and in recognition of local increased traffic congestion as a result of three new/expanded activity centers: Ontario Mills, Ontario Convention Center and Ontario Airport; 2) SR 60 Corridor Campaign focuses on moving Riverside and San Bernardino SOV drivers into the newly opened HOV lanes along the corridor as they travel to employment sites in Los Angeles and Orange Counties; and 3) Extended Employer Services Outreach focuses on employers in the Inland Empire who have not implemented a matchlist survey for the past 18 months or employers who have terminated their rideshare efforts as a result of Rule 2202 or SB 836. The Subcommittee's list of SB 836 projects was approved by the RTAC TAC at its February 14, 1997 meeting. The RTAC is scheduled to review and take action on the list of projects at its February 28th meeting. The Commission is also being requested to review and take action to approve the three proposed projects jointly submitted by RCTC and SANBAG staff. Assuming all entities approve the list of projects, proposers will be required to immediately begin project implementation. SANBAG, who contracts with RCTC for the delivery of their Commuter Assistance Program, has requested that RCTC be the lead agency on behalf of the Inland Empire for implementation of any approved SB 836 projects. RCTC contracts annually with Inland Transportation Services (ITS) to manage and implement its Commuter Assistance Program. Staff seeks Commission approval to adjust the existing ITS contract to incorporate any or all of the three proposed projects which the RTAC selects to fund under SB 836 pursuant to the individual scopes of service and budget detailed in Attachment A. SCAG has agreed to act as contracts administrator for the approved SB 836 projects. As such, it is their intention to not enter into formal agreements with proposers but to issue letters of authorization to proceed for the approved projects. Implementing agencies will simply bill SCAG on a reimbursement basis. Therefore staff does not recommend any changes to the Commission's FY 96/97 budget. Any SB 836 funds allocated to the Inland Empire will be reflected in the Commission's FY 97/98 budget when reimbursement is planned to occur. A statistical summary chart of all the Subcommittees recommended projects is included as Attachment B. If the Commission is interested in reviewing the project proposals submitted by other agencies, staff will be happy to provide copies of same.

Attachment "A" 2/19/97 SB 836 Implementation Proposal I-10 Commute Reduction Program (I-15 to Los Angeles County Line) 1. Program Description San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) proposes the implementation of a commute reduction program along the defined corridor including the surrounding employment sites with less than 250 employees. Within this area the Ontario Mills Mall alone has over 200 stores representing approximately 7,000 employees. According to the SCAG Rideshare database, the surrounding cities of Montclair, Ontario, Upland and Rancho Cucamonga represent approximately 78 employment sites with 100-249 employers, with an employee population of approximately 12,000. While the number of worksites under 100 employees for this target area is unknown at the time this proposal was written, the marketing efforts for this program will also include employment sites with less than 100 employees. The program will provide on -site staff located at a site yet to be determined within the project area utilizing SCAG Rideshare's on-line computer matching system to support transportation surveys and rideshare registration. The survey and registration process will also support the marketing/implementation of SANBAG's existing Option Rideshare Commuter Incentive Program. Option Rideshare provides up to $2.00 per day in local merchant gift certificates for everyday a new ridesharer uses an alternative mode of transportation to work. SANBAG will also implement a Commuter Club Program modeled after Riverside County Transportation Commission's (RCTC) Club hide Program, which recognizes and rewards employees who continue to rideshare on an on -going basis. 2. Corridor/Geographic Region The employment target area in the cities of Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Upland are located approximately within four miles to the north and south of I-10 and span nine miles from the I-10/1-15 interchange west to the Los Angeles County line. This represents a target area of approximately 72 square miles. All of the target cities are neighboring and can be accessed from eight off -ramps along the I-10 freeway corridor. The Ontario Mills Mall is located in the City of Ontario at the interchange of the I-10 and I-15. Ontario Mills can be accessed from the Fourth Street exit off the 1-15 or by the Etiwanda Avenue exit from the I-10. The Montclair Plaza is located in the City of Montclair 1 and can be accessed from the Central Avenue or Monte Vista exits off the I-10 Ontario Airport is located approximately five miles to the west off Ontario Mills just of the Vineyard Avenue exit from the I-10 and is included in the program target area. 3. Origin/Destinations The destinations of the targeted employees for the project will primarily be any employee who commutes to an employment site with less than 250 employees located in the cities of Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Upland. The origins of the employees targeted for this project will primarily be employees who reside in the Inland Empire. However, there will be a significant number of employees who commute from Los Angeles County (Claremont, Pomona, LaVerne and San Dimas) with very few commuting from Orange County. The location of home county origin will not be used as criteria for who qualifies for participation in the program. 4. Rideshare Modes All modes of ridesharing will be targeted for the project including carpool, vanpool, buspool, use of public bus or commuter rail, telecommuting, walking or bicycling. 5. Infrastructure Beginning in July 1997, I-10 from the Los Angeles/San Bernardino County line east to the I-15 will be under construction for approximately two years. The project includes the construction of one High Occupancy Vehicle lane in each direction including widening of eight existing bridge undercrossings, the reconstruction of two bridge undercrossings, reconstruction of one bridge overcrossing and sound walls. The project extends approximately 10 miles along, the I-10 and overlays the corridor proposed for this program. The corridor is serviced by the Metrolink San Bernardino Line which has stations in western San Bernardino County. However, since the line originates in the morning from San Bernardino and travels west to Rialto and Fontana before making stops in Rancho Cucamonga, Upland and Montclair, the commuter rail market for this short commute is minimal. Omnitrans is the public transit provider in San Bernardino County and has lines operating throughout the three city target area. Carpooling will be the mode of choice for most program participants based on limited compatibility with transitroutes and the topography/congestion which will limit walking and 2 " " bicycling. Construction along this section of the I-10 corridor will be ongoing throughout this program thereby encouraging commuters to sample ridesharing as one solution to inconveniences caused by the construction project. 6. Incentive Program Description The program will incorporate the marketing and implementation of SANBAG's Option Rideshare Commuter Incentive Program which began in November 1993. Option Rideshare, which is modeled after RCTC's Advantage Rideshare Commuter Incentive Program which began in July 1991, provides up to $2.00 per day for three consecutive months in local merchant gift certificates for everyday a new ridesharer uses an alternative mode of transportation to work. From November 1993 to June 1996 SANBAG's Option Rideshare Program has motivated 4,595 drive alone commuters to begin ridesharing. This represents 288,386 one way vehicle trips reduced over the three months of participation. A Commuter Club designed to recognize and reward employees who continue to rideshare on an on -going basis, will also be implemented with Option Rideshare. Discounts, gift certificates, drawings and special promotions will be available to commuters who continue to rideshare. Staff will work with the local merchants to secure participation on the above referenced discounts, promotions, etc. 7. Program Implementation SANBAG intends to contract with RCTC to implement the program through its' existing partnership. SANBAG and RCTC have worked together for the past three years on the implementation of Option Rideshare, Advantage Rideshare, Inland Empire Commuter Services and Club Ride to employers in San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Collectively recognized as the SANBAG/RCTC Commuter Assistance Programs, RCTC has in turn contracted with a local, private transportation demand management consulting firm for day to day program implementation. SANBAG and RCTC retain collaborative yet independent program oversight responsibilities. 8. Medium Program staff will concentrate their marketing efforts on working directly with the employer to communicate with the primary market; the commuting employee. SANBAG Commuter Assistance Program staff currently have an established working relationship with many of the employers in the target area. Staff will work with the respective Chambers of Commerce for additional employer contacts and work through SANBAG staff to cultivate the relationship with the area employees and merchants. Although the SANBAG Option Rideshare Program currently has marketing material, the packet will need to be augmented to incorporate specifics on this particular program. A separate brochure and accompanying forms for employer and employee participation will need to be developed. Staff will rely on a combination of mailings, follow-up telephone calls and one on one meetings with employers to establish an employers participation in the program. One direct mail employee marketing promotion will be implemented through participating employers to support the implementation of rideshare registration, heighten awareness of the incentive programs and reduce additional vehicle trips. In addition, the program will utilize the SANBAG Commuter Assistance Program Rideshare Connection Fax Network service to provide ongoing communication and marketing with participating employers. 9. Existing Efforts/Services The program will work in direct coordination with the existing Option Rideshare Program. The qualifications criteria of the Option Rideshare Program will be expanded to not only include residents of San Bernardino County, but to include residents who commute from Los Angeles and Orange Counties to employment sites within the targeted area. Riverside residents currently qualify for incentives under RCTC's Advantage Rideshare Program and would continue to be available with this program. The offering of incentives to all employers regardless of home county origin will further entice an employer to become a client of the program. The utilization of SCAG Rideshare's on-line matching computer system further compliments and utilizes resources which are currently available. 10. Budget/Timeline The proposed budget for the program is $171,140. The following provides a breakdown of the budget by line item: Line Item Labor Proposed Line Item Budget Description $107,110 Includes 276 Program Manager hours, 150 Program Administrator hours, 1,445 Commuter Assistance Representative hours and 400 Administrative Assistant hours. 4 • • • Line Item Proposed Line Item Budget Description Expenses $ 2,500 Marketing Materials $ 20,000 Office Equipment $ 5,000 Includes mileage and incidental reimbursable expenses.

Photocopies $ 500 Postage $ 2,000 Includes postage for marketing material, two direct mail promotions and on -going payments for incentives. Certificates/Vouchers/ $ 30,000 Includes $25,000 for the $2.00/day Subsidies incentive program and $5,000 for two promotional grand prizes and on -going drawings/prizes for Commuter Club. Telephone $ 1,800 Includes charges for modem, business line and fees incurred for broadcast fax service. Mailing Services Computer Support/ Maintenance $ 1,000 $ 1,000 TOTAL $ 171,410 • Use of mailing house for direct mail purposes. Includes $195.00 start up fee for SCAG Rideshare on-line matching service, $95.00 for SCAG report writer training, $150.00 for two SCAG special reports and $560.00 for computer programming/ maintenance. The timeline for this program is based on the assumption that all appropriate contracts will be signed and funds will be available for program kick-off by March 15, 1997. Since program funds were transferred to the RTAC on January 15, 1997 and the program will end January 15, 1998, the earliest program implementation will start is in month three of the twelve month program.

Trips Reduced The combined commuter incentive and Commuter Club program elements are projected to attract 770 participants, eliminate 493 vehicles, reduce 69,372 one-way vehicle trips and reduce 1,845,295 vehicle miles traveled in a three month period. On average, participants will commute 16.4 days per month, traveling an average of 26.6 one-way miles. 12. Program Tracking/Quantification The program will be able to track which employers participated in the program by a signed Statement of Participation (SOP) between the employer and SANBAG. As a requirement of the SOP, employers will verify the incentive claim form completed by their respective participating employees. Both the employer and employee provide signatures on the incentive claim form before incentive payments are released back to the employer for distribution to their participating employees. The formula for tracking and quantifying vehicle trips reduced, miles saved and pounds of pollutants reduced is based on the actual commute information provided and verified by both the employee and employer. 2/19/97 SB 836 Implementation Proposal State Route 60 Corridor Campaign 1. Program Description Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) propose the implementation of a commute reduction program to Riverside and San Bernardino County commuters to utilize the new High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane on SR-60. The new HOV lane runs approximately 10 miles from the SR-60/I-15 interchange west to the Los Angeles County line. The program will utilize and be modeled after the existing RCTC Advantage Rideshare and SANBAG Option Rideshare Commuter Incentive Programs. Both programs provide up to $2.00 per day in local merchant gift certificates for everyday a new ridesharer uses an alternative mode of transportation to work. 2• Corridor/Geographic Region As stated above, the SR-60 HOV lane is approximately 10 miles long from the I-15 west to the Los Angeles County line. In order to market the program to commuters, we will work with employers located in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, who have employees with the potential to use the HOV facility. While we will not limit program participation to employers with less than 100 employees, our marketing efforts will focus on employers with 100-249 employees. 3• Origin/Destinations The facility is expected to attract the use of long distance commuters who commute from Riverside and San Bernardino Counties west to Los Angeles and Orange Counties employment sites. 4• Rideshare Modes All modes of ridesharing will be targeted for this project including carpool, vanpool, buspool, use of public bus or commuter rail, telecommuting, walking or bicycling. 1 • 5. Infrastructure While the current SR-60 HOV lane ends at the Los Angeles County line, another seven miles will be added and is under construction from the Los Angeles County line traveling westbound. This segment is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1997, however is anticipated to create congestion as HOV lane users merge to free flow lanes. Additional HOV lanes are being built on Highway 71 through Chino and Chino Hills north of Corona. Completion between SR-60 and the Riverside County line is expected in spring 1998. The corridor is serviced by the Metrolink Riverside line which originates in downtown Riverside and travels west to Pedley, East Ontario, Industry and Los Angeles Union Station with connections to Glendale and Burbank. There is no public transit bus available from Riverside/San Bernardino Counties that utilizes the SR-60 corridor into Los Angeles or Orange Counties. 6. Incentive Program Description The program will incorporate the marketing and implementation of both RCTC's Advantage Rideshare and SANBAG's Option Rideshare Commuter Incentive Programs. Both programs provide up to $2.00 per day for three consecutive months in local merchant gift certificates for everyday a new ridesharer uses an alternative mode of transportation to work. To enroll in RCTC's Advantage Rideshare Program you must be a resident of western Riverside County. To enroll in SANBAG's Option Rideshare program you must be a resident of San Bernardino County. From July 1991 to June 1996 RCTC's Advantage Rideshare Program has motivated 8,971 drive alone commuters to begin ridesharing. This represents 621,575 one way vehicle trips reduced over the three months of participation. From November 1993 to June 1996 SANBAG's Option Rideshare Program has motivated 4,595 drive alone commuters to begin ridesharing. This represents 288,386 one way vehicle trips reduced over the three months of participation. The program will work in direct coordination with the existing Advantage and Option Rideshare Programs. The qualifications criteria for participating in the program will be expanded to include Los Angeles and Orange County residents. In order for an employer to be eligible to market this program to all of their employees, they must have employees who reside in either Riverside or San Bernardino County and have the potential of traveling west through the SR-60 HOV lane. 2 7. Program Implementation SANBAG intends to contract with RCTC to implement the program through its' existing partnership. RCTC and SANBAG have worked together for the past three years on the implementation of Option Rideshare, Advantage Rideshare, Inland Empire Commuter Services and Club Ride to employers in San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Collectively recognized as the RCTC/SANBAG Commuter Assistance Programs, RCTC has in turn contracted with a local, private transportation demand management consulting firm for day to day program implementation. RCTC and SANBAG retain collaborative yet independent program oversight responsibilities. 8. Medium Program staff will concentrate their marketing efforts on working directly with the employer to communicate with the primary market; the commuting employee. RCTC/SANBAG Commuter Assistance Program staff currently have an established working relationship with many of the employers in the target area. Staff will work with the respective Chambers of Commerce for additional employer contacts and with SCAG Rideshare to promote the survey/matching service. Implementation of SCAG's survey/matching service will assist in the identification of which employers qualify as well as assist in target marketing to employees. Staff will rely on a combination of mailings, follow-up telephone calls and one on one meetings with employers to establish an employers participation in the program. One direct mail employee marketing promotion will be implemented through participating employers to support the implementation of rideshare registration and heighten awareness of the incentive programs and reduce additional vehicle trips. In addition, the program will utilize the RCTC/SANBAG Commuter Assistance Program Rideshare Connection Fax Network service to provide ongoing communication and marketing with participating employers. 9. Existing Efforts/Services The program will work in direct coordination with the existing Advantage and Option Rideshare Programs. The qualifications criteria for Advantage and Option Rideshare will be expanded to not only include residents of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, but to include residents who commute from Los Angeles and Orange Counties to employment sites within the targeted area. The offering of incentives to all employers regardless of home county origin will further entice an employer to become a client of the program. 3 • • • " " " 10.

Program Description Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) propose the implementation of a commute reduction program to motivate Riverside and San Bernardino County commuters to begin ridesharing. Since the South Coast Air Quality Air Management District's implementation of Rule 2202 in December 1995 and the passage of SB 836, it has and will become more difficult to encourage employers to survey their employees to obtain vital commuting information. Information such as a commuters home address, work address, travel distance/time, mode of transportation, etc. As the information diminishes, it becomes increasingly more difficult to research, plan and implement programs which rely on this information to market trip reduction strategies which improve congestion and air quality. The proposed program will provide staff time to market and assist with an employers implementation of an employee transportation survey to employers with less than 250 employees. Once this information is obtained, RCTC/SANBAG Commuter Assistance Program staff will rely on this data to target market the existing Advantage Rideshare, Option Rideshare and Club Ride Programs. RCTC's Advantage Rideshare Program and SANBAG Option Rideshare Program provide up to S2.00 per day in local merchant gift certificates for everyday a new ridesharer uses an alternative mode of transportation to work from western Riverside County or San Bernardino County. Club Ride, The Rideshare Club of Riverside County is a recognition program which rewards western Riverside County residents who have been ridesharing a minimum of one day a week for six months. Club Ride provides a one year membership card which is recognized at 150 local merchants for discounts on products and services. 2. Corridor/Geographic Region The program targets employers with less than 250 employees in western Riverside County and San Bernardino County. The market is further defined by employers who have not utilized SCAG Rideshare's transportation survey or who intend to terminate their employee commute data from the database as a result of Rule 2202 or SB 836. 1 • " 3. Origin/Destinations The destinations of the employees targeted for the survey portion of this program are employers with less than 250 employees located in western Riverside County and San Bernardino County.

" AGENDA ITEM #8D " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: March 5, 1997 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Marilyn Williams, Program Manager THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: Reuse of Closed Telecommuting WorkCenter Video Conferencing Equipment Upon closure of the Telecommuting WorkCenter of Riverside County in June, 1995, staff catalogued all furniture and equipment and stored same while determining the best reuse of the items which were all donated to the WorkCenter. Some of the equipment was placed into service in the Commission's offices. The majority was deemed surplus by the Executive Director and sold pursuant to Commission policy. Several pieces of Video Conferencing equipment were retained and staff has been seeking an appropriate placement of the equipment within the county. As you may recall, when the Northridge earthquake struck in January, 1994, several companies came forward in support of the existing telecommuting centers throughout the Los Angeles basin with donations of equipment and software. The WorkCenter received the following donations: " PictureTel Corporation donated a room video conferencing unit with a 27" monitor and a keypad controlled pan -tilt zoom camera. Approximate value, $19,000. " PictureTel Corporation also donated a desk top video conferencing unit. Approximate value, $4,000. " Future Labs, Inc. Donated approximately 15 sets of TALKShow software. The software allows multiple users at different locations to exchange, edit and review materials simultaneously eliminating the need to travel to meetings. Approximate value, $3,000. The Commission has been contacted by staff from the County of Riverside regarding their efforts to establish video conferencing links throughout the County. Video conferencing will provide constituents with a "vehicle" to attend public meetings such as the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission meetings without making a trip to downtown Riverside. In addition, departments can conduct meetings and training sessions enabling satellite office staff to eliminate trips. Use of video conferencing systems facilitates increased 'efficiencies by eliminating staff travel time and reducing vehicle maintenance and operation costs. Further, it contributes to improved air quality through elimination of vehicle trips and resulting mobile source emissions. The County of Riverside's GSA/Information Services Department recently released a Request for Proposal to obtain bids from qualified vendors to build a video conferencing network and identified various video conferencing equipment needs. County staff reviewed their requirements in a February 19, 1997 letter to the Commission (Attachment A). They also indicated there may be an opportunity for the general public to use the video conferencing equipment when it is not required to support county staff needs. Talks are underway between the County and other associated agencies to ensure compatibility of systems and availability to government and public needs. Since the closure of the Telecommuting WorkCenter, the video conferencing equipment and software have gone unused. The Switch 56 communication lines required to link the video conferencing equipment to other locations were disconnected when the WorkCenter closed and have not been reinstalled to date. The Switch 56 lines cost $199 per month. The County of Riverside is proposing that a partnership be created transferring the equipment and software to the County while allowing the Commission access not only to the equipment but to all video conferencing links that the County purchases and installs in the future. Pursuant to the February 5, 1997 County of Riverside letter from Tony Carstens (Attachment B), the County proposes to place the Commissions video-conferencing equipment at the Riverside and Indio County Administrative Centers.

ATTACBMENT "A" • • • General Services Agency INFORMATION SERVICES 7195 Alessandro Blvd Riverside, CA 92506 (909) 275-3839 FAX (909) 275-3845 Tanya Love Consultant Staff Riverside County Transportation Commission P.O. Box 51540 Riverside, CA 92517-2540 Dear MS Love, 8orniMu February 19,1997 The County of Riverside GSA/ Information Services Department recently released a Request for Proposal to obtain bids from qualified vendors to build a video conferencing network. The RFP is being requested to satisfy a variety of new requirements from County Departments for this service. The bids are due from the vendors in early March 1997, we expect to have a vendor selected before the end of that month. We have learned your organization owns some video conferencing equipment which is excess to your current requirements and it may be available for release in the near future. Request you consider transferring those assets to our department for immediate use. The following requirements have been identified for video conferencing to date: 1. A room sized video conferencing capability is required between the County Administrative Centers in Riverside and Indio, CA. The equipment will be made available for meetings between the two locations in an effort to reduce the number of trips County employees have to make. This measure gains the County Clean Air Credits from the Air Quality Management District and makes worker more productive. Expected users are the Board of Supervisors, Courts, Public Social Services Department and California Department of Forestry. 2. Desk top video conferencing has been identified as a requirement for the Director, Public Social Services Department for face-to-face communications with the Office Managers at each of their dispersed locations. Their staff has computers which will accept the Intel Desk -Top Video Conferencing components and we expect to receive pricing to support their request through the bid process. 3. In the foreseeable future we expect to install video conferencing capability at all County Administrative Centers. County residents will have the ability to view the Board of Supervisor weekly hearings without the need of driving to Riverside. They will also have the capability to address the Board from these locations. 4. Video conferencing sessions will be possible between County staff and personnel from other county, state, or federal agencies. The expected result will be greater productivity of the staff and significant reduction in travel time. 5. There may be an opportunity for the general public to use the video conferencing equipment when it is not required to support County Staff needs. Talks are underway between the County and other associated agencies to ensure compatibility of systems and availability to government and public needs. If the excess video conferencing equipment which your agency owns could be made available to this department we would begin implementation of portions of the network we are attempting to build now. Your favorable consideration of this request is appreciated. Since/rely, Willie B. Greer, Chief Voice Networks Division • • • " " Riverside County Executive Office Marilyn Williams Riverside County Transportation Commission 3560 University Avenue, Suite 100 Riverside, CA 92501 Subject: Video -Teleconferencing Equipment Dear Marilyn, ATTACHMENT "B" 0334.93 Larry Parrish County Executive Officer February 5, 1997 As you are aware, the County of Riverside is in the process of establishing video -teleconferencing links throughout the County. Video -teleconferencing will provide constituents with a "vehicle" to attend public meetings such as the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission Meetings without making the trip to downtown Riverside. In addition, departments can conduct meetings and training sessions with satellite offices without the need of a commute. Video -teleconferencing will provide increased efficiency by eliminating travel time and vehicle usage, and, improve air quality through the elimination of cold -starts and vehicle trips. During discussions, you've indicated that RCTC retained a video -teleconferencing desk -top and TV monitor unit from the closure of the Riverside telecommuting center. You have also informed us that this equipment is not in use because there is no current "link" from RCTC to another video - teleconferencing site. Since we can establish a "link" with the County system, and you have the equipment, can we explore a partnership in the use of this equipment? We propose to set-up the TV monitor unit at the Indio County Administrative Center (CAC) and the desk -top unit in the Riverside CAC. Coupled with additional equipment that the County will purchase and install, RCTC will have access .to use of the equipment to make video -teleconferencing conferences calls in our current network. Subsequently, additional links, of which RCTC will have access to, will be established to allow for video -teleconferencing to other areas in the County.

MKISUMMARY.XLS 8:38 PM 2/10/97 " " AGENDA ITEM #8E " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: March 5, 1997 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Marilyn Williams, Program Manager THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: 1997 Traffic Systems Management (TSM) Program of Projects In a February 1997 Commission agenda item regarding state funding for transportation demand management (TDM) projects, staff highlighted a January 23, 1997 Caltrans letter that defined procedures for the allocation of $10 million in fund savings as part of the 1997 TSM Plan. For the first time, Caltrans expanded eligible activities to include. TDM projects in response to a coordinated effort through the California Association of Councils of Governments (CALCOG) to seek state funding for regional rideshare services throughout the state. The TSM funds were allocated to urban areas based on population. The six county Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Imperial counties were allocated $4,960,000. Caltrans required that each region submit a priority listing of projects by March 3, 1997. Due to the short time -frame in preparing a concensus list of projects for the SCAG reaion, an Ad -Hoc Subcommittee of the Regional Transportation Agencies Coalition (RTAC) Technical Advisory Committee's (TAC) Rideshare Subcommittee took on the task. Staff members from the county transportation commission's (CTC's), SCAG and Caltrans worked to define the distribution of funds and establish project priorities which would meet the Caltrans guidelines for TSM funding. The Ad -Hoc Subcommittee recommendations are being presented to the RTAC on February 28, 1997, for their review and approval having been approved by the RTAC TAC on February 14th. In general, the top two recommended priority projects are for specific regional rideshare services with the balance of the funds allocated to the CTC's based on population for both TDM and TSM purposes. The projects are described in more detail in Attachment A and the basic assumptions regarding funding and allocation are outlined in Attachment B. Priority projects #2 and #3 have direct impact on the Commission's Commuter Assistance Program. Project #2 reflects an agreement regionally that the CTC's will assume responsibility beginning in FY97/98 for the provision of employer services to large employers with multiple worksites and/or worksites in multiple counties. SCAG Rideshare has held this responsibility in the past. While this new responsibility will increase the existing workload of the Commission's Inland Empire Commuter Services (IECS) project, funding will be provided from the state TSM funds to support the expanded work load. As a result, there is no increased financial impact to the Commission. Given that IECS currently provides rdeshare services and tools to single site employers who maintain or begin trip reduction efforts, the addition of the multisite employers is welcomed. It will allow for greater continuity of service to Riverside County employers regardless of their worksite configuation. An RTAC TAC Rideshare Subcommittee working group chaired by RCTC staff is in the process of defining and verifying the multisite work load by county. Once this effort is concluded, the TSM funds ($223,100) set aside for this purpose will be allocated to the counties based on assigned workload. While the working group is just beginning its efforts, it is estimated that the impact will be fairly small to Riverside County, possibly no greater than 20 worksites. Priority project #3 allocates funding to the CTC's based on population. As detailed in Attahcment B, the Commission's relative share is calculated as $82,741. Each of the CTC's were required to submit project descriptions, all of which are equally ranked. Staff proposes to use these funds in support of its FY97/98 IECS budget and work program approved for STP funding under the Commission's FY97/98-98/99 CMAQ/STP call for projects. Assuming reauthorization of ISTEA, the TSM funds will supplant the approved STP funds. Any STP funds no longer required as a result of receiving the TSM funds would become available for reprogramming by the Commission.

" " Attachment A Proposed $1.5 Million TSM Program of Projects for Action by RTAC on 2/28/97 1. FY 98 Regional Rideshare Services $3,788,500 TSM Fund Recipient: SCAG SCAG Rideshare, as the regional provider of rideshare services for the six county region (Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial Counties) will provide for FY 1998 the following services/products: database management, coordination of region -wide marketing, analysis and region -wide information services including teleservices and matchlist production/dissemination. TSM funds will reimburse SCAG for labor, contract and professional services, printing, travel, equipment and supplies, which support the delivery of those services/products. 2. FY 1998 Multisite/Multicounty Employer Services $223,100 Recipients of TSM Funds: VCTC, LACMTA, OCTA, SANBAG, RCTC, IVAG The county transportation commissions will provide employer services to large employers who have multiple worksites in more than one county. TSM funds will reimburse the commissions for labor and related expenses, which are used to provide employers with programmatic and technical assistance in the development of employer -based rideshare programs and compliance with air quality regulations. 3. Various TSM/TDM Programs $948,400 Recipients of TSM Funds: VCTC, LACMTA, OCTA, SANBAG, RCTC, IVAG Each of the county transportation commissions, within the urbanized area, will receive a share of the remaining TSM funds, allocated by population. Each of these programs are at a priority #3 in the overall TSM Program of Projects, and are on equal footing. Each CTC will program these funds for TDM and/or TSM programs within their counties, and will meet and abide by all Ca!trans policies regarding these funds. The preliminary projects that will be funded in each of the counties are as follows: LACMTA/$561,016: MTA will fund employer outreach programs which place commuters into carpools, vanpools, and transit rideshare modes. Staff would provide information and assistance to employers within Los Angeles County and market RideGuides. Staff will assist employers in determining which TDM strategies have the best potential for reducing travel at their particular worksite and distribute information to assist MTA and other agencies in promoting TDM strategies, transit, HOV lanes, and park -and -ride lots. These funds will reimburse MTA for labor and related expenses. OCTA/$158,207: State Route 22 is the only major freeway corridor not slated for HOV improvement under the Measure M Freeway Program. OCTA proposes to utilizes the TSM funds to finance the advancement of the preliminary engineering and environmental documentation for the project. This will allow OCTA to have the project ready to capture future funding and final design and construction resources. SANBAG/$95,171: SANBAG has partnered with RCTC for the past four years to provide incentive programs to all residents of San Bernardino county, and commute reduction assistance to San Bernardino employers. Contract staff provided service in FY 1997 to 305 employment worksites within the county, and have assisted annually 118,150 commuters. These TSM funds will be used to enhance employer rideshare efforts through provision of program and technical assistance, facilitation of matchlist process and employer use at worksites, educational forums, special events and the development of resource materials and products. Funds shall be expended on labor, materials, events, promotions and related expenses. RCTC/$82,741: The congestion and mobility efforts described in the San Bernardino program are also provided in Riverside county through assistance to area employers in the development and implementation of their rideshare programs and direct assistance to commuters. In FY 1997, contract staff assisted 252 empk, ment worksites within Riverside county, and have reached over 83,850 commuters. TSM funding will be used to enhar::-.e, these programs through provision of and technical assistance to employers including survey/matchlist production, educational forums, special events and the development of resource materials and products. Funds shall be expended on labor, materials, events, promotions and related expenses. VCTC/$42,876: Two projects will be funded with these TSM funds. The first is to develop and administer a Guaranteed Ride Home program for non-SOV commuters who require emergency transportation because they do not have a vehicle at their worksite. Agreements/MOUs will be administered with employers, rental car companies (for trips over 15 miles). Funds will be used for labor and expenses, taxi and rental car charges, and the design and printing of promotional materials. The second project will be the design/printing of a brochure for social service agency distribution to promote Ventura County transportation options and services, such as the VCTC Telephone Transit information Center (Dial -A -Route) to register for RideGuides or request transit itineraries. TSM funds will pay for a portion of the overall costs for design and printing. IVAG/$ 8,388: TSM funds will be utilized to design and print a brochure to market the 1-800-COMMUTE phone number so that commuters may register for a RideGuide, or receive other rideshare/transit information throughout Imperial County. • • •
