3. PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were no comments at this time.
4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
M/S/C (Kleindienst/Kelly) approve the minutes dated March 27, 2000 as presented.
5. SAN BERNARDINO ASSOCIATED GOVERNMENTS FY 00/01 COMMUTER ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM CONTRACT
M/S/C (Kelly/Kleindienst) recommend that the Commission approve entering into a
contract with the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) as part of the
Commission's continuing bi-county partnership with SANBAG in the delivery of
commuter and employer rideshare services for FY 00/01 .
6. CETAP STATUS REPORT
Steve Smith, Transcore, explained that the CETAP program has two parts, the first being an
update of the circulation element of the County General Plan which is an ongoing process. The
second part of the CETAP Program, the corridor selection, was included in the agenda packet.
A final recommendation on the transportation alternatives for consideration, as well as
documentation and detailed analysis is scheduled to occur at the June 6' CETAP Advisory
Plans and Programs Committee Minutes
April 24, 2000
Page 2
Committee Meeting. It will be brought forward to the June 14' Commission Meeting. The
two corridors that are not carried forward into the full environmental process, could potentially
be picked up through the circulation element. There are important issues in each corridor, but
a choice will have to be made to focus the resources to accomplish the objectives of getting
right-of-way reserved for. future transportation facilities. Approximately a year after the
corridors are narrowed down to two, the draft environmental documents will be completed on
to be carried through the federal review process.
Chairperson Lowe arrived and assumed the Chair.
The following points were made during the deliberation of this item:
♦ Commissioner Bob Buster asked that any information forwarded to the Advisory
Committee before their May meeting, be forwarded to the members of this Committee.
♦ Commissioner Will Kleindienst expressed his appreciation of the CETAP Process and
considers it very forward thinking and it will give a clear impression of the needs well
into the future. In response to his question as to how many of these projects would
be funded through Measure "A", he was informed that there were none that would be
funded through the current Measure "A". Commissioner Kleindienst added that the
CETAP process would act as the guideline for the projects included in the proposed
extension of Measure "A". There will still be needs above and beyond Measure "A"
in order for us to meet what we project to be 2020 traffic volumes.
♦ Chairperson Robin Lowe stated there also needs to be a much larger commitment on
the state and federal level for funding the CETAP process. Once those corridors are
identified there will be a significant amount of information to validate the need for them
that they will be hard pressed to say no. She then discussed a meeting that she
recently attended where they were hoping to change how the housing element and
process of appeal are being addressed by SCAG. The County will no meet the
requirements set forth in the housing element by SCAG. This discussion coincides
with that of the CETAP process because it shows that we cannot build it fast enough
without contribution from the state and federal levels and this will be a major factor
in the integrated plan process.
M/S/C (Buster/Chlebnik) recommend that the Commission receive and file the CETAP
Status Report along with Working Paper #4 - Evaluation Criteria for the Transportation
Alternatives and Working Paper #5 - Draft Purpose and Need Statements for Prioritized
Corridors.
6. RAIL PROGRAM UPDATE
M/S/C (Crain/Byrd) recommend that the Commission receive and file the Rail Program
Update.
7. PROPOSED METROLINK BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000/01
M/S/C (Kleindienst/Buster) recommend that the Commission adopt the preliminary
FY 2000/01 Metrolink operating and capital budgets and authorize allocation of RCTC's
funding commitment to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority in an amount
not to exceed $3,910,700 million. (This action does not relinquish nor convey to any
other agency any of the operating rights or capacity entitlements which have been
purchased by RCTC.)

8. SAN JACINTO BRANCH LINE - OPERATING COST ANALYSIS
Carl Schiermeyer, Schiermeyer Consulting Services, explained that the study presented today
is another element to consider as the Commission moves to adopt a Strategic Plan for its
highway and rail programs. It demonstrates that the estimated operating subsidies for
conventional commuter rail service fall well within the cost-effectiveness thresholds established
by RCTC and Metrolink. The report shows increased efficiencies for the system, with the
subsidy per passenger mile dropping to $0.14 compared to $0.1 5 in the current budget, and
subsidy per boarding reduced from an average of $5.38 down to $4.91 . With many more train
miles operated within Riverside County (61 % more) the burden of public subsidy falls heavier
on RCTC. Operating the four round trips today would cost RCTC an additional $860,000 per
year, which is 30% over the current contribution. Given the estimated $6.1 million in western
county TDA for next fiscal year, this service could barely be afforded today absent an
additional revenue. There are three items to keep in mind, the first is that this analysis
assumes that th,e current methodology for sharing Metrolink operating costs among member
agencies remains in place. Second, we must further assume the concurrence of our funding
partners in a 4 round-trip service into Fullerton and Los Angeles. Third, any additional anaiysis
costs that may be incurred from maintaining additional rail right-of-way will have to be made
up from other sources. Some rail designated Federal Section 5307 capital monies may now
be used for maintenance, but, if these costs materialize, using that funding source would
necessitate yet another policy decision which could impact the overall rail capital budget.
9. SAN JACINTO BRANCH LINE CORRIDOR - UPDATE ON SHORT TRIP ANALYSIS
Judy Witzig, Consultant, updated the Committee on the work to date. Efforts have been
targeted at developing credible ridership estimates, using those elements of the existing model,
that can assist in the development of board and alighting information for a series of possible
stations within the corridor. Work is not complete on the boarding and alightings portions of
the ridership estimates at this time.
Cathy Bechtel explained that this information is coming in pieces to the Committee, but a full
package will be put together for consideration at the May Committee meeting.
10. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business for consideration by the Plans and Programs Committee, the
meeting was adjourned at 1:18 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled at noon, Monday,
May 22, 2000 at the RCTC offices.
Respectfully submitted,
Traci R. McGinley

• Enhanced I/M Program
• (M1) Car Scrappage Program
• (M2) Low -Emission Vehicle II (LEVII) Program
• (M4) Incentiye for Clean Engine Program
• (M5) California Heavy Duty NOx Standard Program
• (M6) National Heavy Duty NOx Standard (Federal Program)
• (M17)Additional Reductions from Heavy Duty Vehicle Program
The first three programs were found to be the major contributors to the overall
shortfall. The above state programs have not met the expected emissions reductions
due to the lack of full implementation of these programs.

within the CETAP process. They are being asked to consider such factors as
transportation need, urgency of protecting right-of-way, environmental impact,
community impact, importance to the economy, potential cost of transportation
improvements, community support, and likelihood of successful completion of the
environmental documentation within the study schedule. These rankings, along with
the CETAP consulting team's technical analysis, will assist in the Advisory
Committee's recommendation for which two corridors should move forward in the
CETAP process. This recommendation is scheduled to occur at the June 6th CETAP
Advisory Committee, after our May 22nd Plans and Programs Committee Meeting. As
we explained last month, due to the timing of the meetings, the corridor
•recommendations will be forwarded directly to the Commission for action.
Steve Smith, our CETAP Project Manager, will be present at the Committee meeting
to provide an overview of the CETAP Working Paper #6 as well as an update on the
corridor ranking process.

Priorities for funding and evaluation of the applications were based on the following
criteria:
1) Support of existing Measure A funded services which, if unfunded, would
leave an area and/or special population without alternate service options;
2) Support of existing services which offer an improved level of service
coordination and/or high level of individualized passenger assistance;
3) Support of new services which will leverage other revenue sources and
will not require long-term support from Measure A (more than the two year
funding cycle); and
4) Support of new or expansion of existing services.
Review of applications also took into consideration the recommendations made as a
result of the Specialized Transit Analysis that was conducted in FY 99 of specialized
transit services provided in western Riverside County. The consulting firm that
conducted the study was part of the Evaluation Committee together with staff from RTA.
Their review and input of the proposals provided assistance in ensuring that duplication
of services did not occur.
Of the 16 projects submitted, the following three projects were recommended for
funding with restrictions identified as follows:
1) City of Corona: The Evaluation Committee recommended that proposed
fare subsidy funding be approved, for one year only, for FY 01. The City
of Corona will be implementing a fare increase of $2.00 for regular fare
passengers and $1.00 for senior citizens and the disabled. The fare
increase together with a new shuttle service being planned for January,_
2001, may assist the City in meeting their 20% fare box recovery
requirement. Staff will work closely with the City of Corona and provide
assistance as necessary. Prior to FY 02, staff will report back to the
Commission on the progress made and seek further direction if the 20%
fare box recovery is not met.
2) Transportation Specialists, Inc.: While the Evaluation Committee was
supportive of TSI's request for funds to provide training to non-profit
operators, it questioned whether training should be provided through the
Riverside Transit Agency as part of its' Consolidated Transportation
Service Agency responsibilities. Further exploration with RTA has
resulted in the beginning stages of establishing a training program.
However, should training not occur within FY 01, the Evaluation
Committee recommends that TSI's request for funding be approved in FY
02; and

If the Committee is in agreement with the Evaluation Committee's
recommendation, TSI will provide the service in the Jurupa area with a
$20,000 cash match. In addition, TSI is the current RTA contractor for the
Jurupa Dial -a -Ride and as such will be able to coordinate services for all
passengers.
3) Valley Resource Center for the Retarded: The Evaluation Committee
recommends that Valley Resource Center tap into existing funding
sources from Inland Regional Center or other sources to expand services.

therefore, the loss of those projects. The recommendations before you today free up
$27- $28 million for allocation to highway or other Measure A projects.
A critical issue to be resolved is whether the Commission seeks passenger rail service
along the first segment of the San Jacinto Branch Line (SJBL) before expiration of the
Measure. SJBL service is the one remaining potential rail project within the Measure
A plan.
Since acquiring the San Jacinto Branch Line in 1992, the Commission has periodically
ordered assessments of the Line's viability as a passenger rail corridor. The most
recent studies, conducted over the past year, have been presented to assist the
Commission in its decisions for the updated Strategic Plan.
Staff had been asked to update available information on both a commuter rail option
and all -day rail car service. In February of this year Schiermeyer Consulting Services
submitted it's ridership estimate for a proposed extension of Metrolink service from
downtown Riverside to Perris. That effort projected that 2,600 long-distance
passenger trips per day would be generated along the extension in 2005. SCS later
supplemented this ridership projection with a financial analysis. Both reports
concluded that the commuter rail extension appeared technically and financially
feasible. Assuming that the extension were in place during the coming budget year,
SCS concluded that the performance measurements would compare favorably with
those of other Metrolink routes.
The Metrolink rail extension is not the only option for rail service between Riverside
and Perris. Metrolink service is conceived as a limited service operating primarily
during the peak arrival time for work hours in both Orange and Los Angeles counties.
Thus these Metrolink trains would be scheduled for departures very early in the
morning and return back well into the evening. The Metrolink service would be of little '
value for local trips because of the time of day in which it operates.
Theoretically, if there was sufficient trip demand all day long, it would be possible to
forego a Metrolink extension and implement an all -day rail car service operating on
headways similar to buses and using an alternative rail technology (Self Propelled
Multiple Units, or "SPMU"). Such rail car service would operate all day long over
most of the same Branch Line tracks used by freight trains and would connect with
the Metrolink trains in Riverside. Schiermeyer Consulting Services was asked to
investigate the patronage potential of such an all -day service. Were this ridership
potential high enough RCTC might be asked to choose between a Metrolink extent and
an all -day rail car option.
The report submitted today summarizes the analysis being conducted on the all -day
rail option. In essence the report concludes that there appears to be insufficient
ridership, based upon the currently proposed 2020 land uses and projected densities,

Nothing in this action will preclude a future extension of commuter rail to Hemet/San
Jacinto or the future addition or substitution of rail cars (Self Propelled Multiple Units).
Both can be operated in harmony with freight rail on the same right-of-way, though rail
car service would carry its own set of institutional and design constraints.
RCTC's Commuter Rail Short Range Transit Plan Update, which is also before you
today, contains staff's best approximation of rail funding cash flow through 2010.
Reserving $15million of rail -related Measure A for the San Jacinto Branch Line
commuter rail extension is consistent with that plan, and does not adversely affect the
funding needed for other planned capital projects within the existing Metrolink system.
However, should state or federal monies for the SJBL project be available sooner, the
Commission may choose an earlier implementation date in which case additional
operating subsidy of approximately $850,000 per year would also be needed from a
Measure A earmark. Consequently, staff is recommending that a total of $39 million
of Measure A be set aside for rail projects in the Strategic Plan: a $15 million capital
allocation and $5 million operating reserve for the SJBL project, with the remainder
used for other rail capital as identified in Short Range Transit Plan and Metrolink's 30-
year Capital Program.

Southwest Riverside Short -Haul Rail -Transit
Ridership Estimate
Purpose of the Report
The purpose of this report is to estimate the potential for short -distance rail transit ridership
along two major transportation corridors within southwestern Riverside County. Southwestern
Riverside County, as described in this study, is an area encompassing the following cities -and
communities: Moreno Valley, San Jacinto, Hemet, Perris, Sun City, Winchester, Homeland,
Romoland, Canyon Lake, Murrieta and Temecula. The Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC) presently owns a rail line, the San Jacinto Branch Line (SJBL), that
extends from Riverside to San Jacinto located generally along Interstate 215 (1-215) and State
Route 74 (SR-74). This ownership serves as a precipitating factor to evaluate various forms of
transit service or commuter service to determine which makes sense based on potential riders.
This information is intended to support RCTC decision making on future transportation
investments within western Riverside County.
The ridership potential from an all -day, fixed guideway, short -haul transit service provided by
self-propelled multiple unit technology (SPMU) is evaluated in this study. The service area
considered in the Perris Commuter Rail Extension Patronage Estimate (Schiermeyer Consulting
Services, February 2000) extended to San Jacinto and to Temecula. Service between Perris
and Riverside alone, the extent of the Metrolink extension analysis does not provide a
comparable evaluation of short -haul service for the same service area. To do so, a more
extensive short -haul transit system is considered.
This study assumes that there is a suitable track connection beginning at the Riverside
Metrolink station and continuing to San Jacinto. In addition, this study considers a potential
track extension between Romoland south to the Temecula Town Center to be located in the
vicinity of the 1-215. This assumes that there is physical space to introduce a line along or near
the highway with available space for stations near major interchanges. SPMU service is
assumed to run on the same tracks as freight service on the SJBL, with all improvements to
provide necessary passing tracks and operating speeds being made. This estimate also •
assumes good feeder bus service to proposed station locations. For purposes of this analysis,
it is assumed that there will be all -day service from and to San Jacinto and Riverside, from and
to Temecula and Riverside and from and to San Jacinto and Temecula. This study also
assumes the high levels of congestion on the 1-215 and through the SR-60 interchange will
continue as predicted in the ongoing Community and Environmental Transportation
Acceptability Process (CETAP) work and the associated land use planning efforts of Riverside
County's Integrated Project (RCIP).
A special note of caution is emphasized for the reader. This evaluation only considers service
in two connecting corridors within Riverside County, the 1-215 and SR-74 corridors. This
analysis is prompted by a series of funding and policy decisions to be made by RCTC in the
immediate future. This analysis could not wait to proceed along the same schedule as ongoing
studies by the Riverside Transit Agency or the CETAP/RCIP processes. Other corridors within
Riverside County (e.g. those currently under investigation by the RTA as part of their long-range
planning efforts) are not considered here. This study has been prepared to compare alternative

service types within the SJBL corridor only. All -day, fixed guideway transit service may have
more superior ridership performance on other corridors. This study is not part of the ongoing
planning and analysis associated with either the I-215/SR-74 Regional Flyer or the
CETAP/RCIP transportation alternative analysis. This study examines one potential use of a
.rail right of way already owned by RCTC.
A three -step analysis was originally anticipated to provide a comparison of commuter rail and
short -haul transit service investment decisions. This was to develop and analyze ridership,
identify a conceptual operating plan, and finally to develop operating cost estimates. Initial
patronage, however, figures do not yield sufficient ridership to support either peak -period or all -
day service, given the existing land uses and projected densities. Therefore, operating plans
and cost evaluations were not pursued.
Proposed New Service
This evaluation considers all -day rail transit operations between San Jacinto to downtown
Riverside via the SJBL and the Union Pacific's Riverside Branch Line (UPBL) using self-
propelled multiple -unit (SPMU) technology. This type of service is intended to provide travelers
an alternative to the automobile as well as congestion relief in an already congested corridor.
Service of this type is also envisioned to provide good connecting service to long distance
Metrolink service into Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Good feeder bus connections to this
service are also assumed. The SJBL is a rail line of approximately 37 miles. The analysis
assumes institutional arrangements will be achieved to bring about a more direct connection
using the UPBL. This also assumes the UPBL and the SJBL lines and associated connections
are improved to accommodate top operating speeds of between 45 and 60 miles per hour.
Additional all -day rail transit operations are evaluated from and to Temecula and downtown
Riverside adding approximately 18 miles of additional track where none presently exists.
Exhibit 1 provides an overview of the study area, the corridor alignment and potential station
locations.
Patronage estimates are made for all -day service from and to San Jacinto and the downtown
Riverside Metrolink Station, from and to Temecula and the Riverside Metrolink station, and for
connecting service to and from Temecula and San Jacinto. Patronage estimates assume
SPMU service would operate during morning and evening peak periods on 15 to 20 minute
headways (time between trains). Early morning service is to be provided to permit well-timed
transfers to Metrolink service at the Riverside Metrolink station. Early morning service is also to
be provided at the shorter headways in order to provide for high quality connecting service to
the downtown Riverside Metrolink station. The SJBL between San Jacinto and Riverside is
assumed as the basic route and alignment to be evaluated. Connections into the downtown
Riverside station will be via the UPBL, bypassing Highgrove and providing service along the
SJBL, a route that RCTC owns. '
The additional line was considered to provide service from and to Riverside and Temecula via
Murrieta and Sun City through an area where no track presently exists and no right of way is
owned by RCTC. The line was envisioned to diverge from the SJBL in the vicinity of Romoland
and to be generally located along 1-215. Stations are assumed to be located near those
freeway intersections located in the vicinity of the larger activity centers of the area. This line
was evaluated to determine if it would improve overall forecast ridership rates. It was also
evaluated because it would provide a short -haul, fixed route service in the same service area

previously evaluated for the Metrolink extension analysis. Connecting service between San
Jacinto and Temecula would result from the addition of the second line. This extension is
beyond that which has been studied in previous ridership studies for the San Jacinto Branch line
(Morrison -Knudson Patronage Projections, the Senate Bill (SB) 1402 Regional Rail Study and
the San Jacinto Branch Line Rail Corridor Study Boyle Engineering 1995.)
Twenty-five station locations are considered in this analysis. Station spacing between one- and
two -miles apart was considered in light of current development trends, identified plans and
accessibility to the rail line from the highways. Locations include those identified in the Boyle
Engineering study, local land use and transportation plans and ongoing planning efforts. In
addition, a number of stations are included to provide accessibility from major, connecting local
roads where stations have not previously been identified. Resulting locations have not been
evaluated for station suitability or zoning or land use compatibility.
Methodology
A conservative methodology for transit ridership development is used in this analysis as
available traditional transportation modeling tools are not presently at a development stage that
allows them to be used for this study. Efforts have been targeted at developing credible
ridership estimates using those elements of the existing models that can assist in the
forecasting boarding and alighting information for potential stations. Key components of this
method include the following:
• Use of the adopted regional growth forecasts and distribution embodied in the Southern
California Association of Government's (SCAG) Comprehensive Transportation Model
(CTP), the base year and 2020 forecast year trip tables presently available that are being
used in the CETAP process.
• Identify potential transit stations and generalized alignment using the SJBL as the primary
corridor. Establish the corridor boundaries and transportation analysis zones (TAZ)
groupings for subsequent analysis.
• Segregate internal trips into those with a higher propensity for transit use due to proximity to
a station and those areas with lower likelihood for transit use due to increasing distance
from a station. Identify methods to include external trips for Metrolink transfers.
• Generate production and attractions trips between TAZ district groups, corresponding
attraction and production trips using the TRANPLAN modeling package and the SCAG
provided trip tables.
• Establish market share for home to work, other to work and non -work trip types based on
comparable service in similar areas as well as the existing mode choice model results for
the study area, rather than the entire SCAG region. Determine variable market share rates
to simulate the effect of increased travel time and wait time at stations from zones
• Apply diurnal factors to determine peak and off peak periods by trip type using SCAG model
factors.
• Quantify line loadings (boarding and alightings) for through and connecting services.
• Establish a market share of external long distance trips that would use the system to
transfer to Metrolink Service in Riverside.

Comparison with Previous Analysis Methods
Ridership estimates in the previously mentioned studies resulted in greater ridership than is
estimated as a result of this method. Differences in assumptions regarding service
characteristics, mode choice capture rates; the basic travel model used to general trip tables
and the growth assumptions are reasons for these differences. Two areas clearly account for a
large share of the differing results.
Difference in Service Characteristics. This evaluation considers two lines of service, one
between San Jacinto and Riverside and the other between Temecula and Riverside. This has
the effect of providing connecting service between Temecula and San Jacinto. Additional
stations were evaluated in this analysis in order to maximize the accessibility to the line. This
study considers all trip lengths for SPMU service between stations, while previous studies have
only included service of more than nine miles. This method includes non -work and other -to -
work trip tables to develop ridership rather than using a percentage of the estimated home
based work trip as a measure.
Mode Split or Capture -Rate Assumptions for various trip types. Comparative industry examples
indicate that mode split for home -based -work (HBW) trips provided by commuter rail service
generally ranges from a low of 3 percent to a high of 10 percent depending on time savings,
service levels and highway congestion. (Sonoma-Marin Rail Plan, Ridership and Revenue,
[Wilbur Smith] and Integrating Transportation with Land Use hand out from the Transit Task
Force CETAP Advisory Subcommittee of April 13, 2000 [TransCore, March 2000]). This current
study uses a variable capture rate - a 4 percent capture rate in those TAZ which are adjacent to
proposed stations and a 1 percent capture rate for the balance of the TAZ for the internal
corridor HBW trips. Use of variable capture -rates results in a lower overall capture -rate than the
4 percent used in the Boyle Engineering 1995 study which used a single capture rate for internal
corridor trips. This study applies that rate to all HBW trips between zones within the three-mile
study corridor.
Findings and Conclusions
1. Ridership on a new SPMU service from and to Riverside and San Jacinto is estimated from
between approximately 4,000 and 8,000 riders per day for 2005 and from between
approximately 5,800 and 11,300 by 2020 under the present SCAG adopted growth forecasts
and distributions. These figures include an estimate of riders who would transfer to
Metrolink service in Riverside. Morning peak period loads are estimated at approximately
1,000 to 2,000 per day in 2005 while evening peak period ridership is estimated to be only
slightly higher.
2. Ridership on a new SPMU service from and to Riverside and Temecula is estimated from
between approximately 4,000 and 7,500 riders per day for 2005 and from between
approximately 7,000 to 12,000 by 2020 under the present SCAG adopted growth forecasts
and distributions. These figures include an estimate of riders who would transfer to
Metrolink service in Riverside.

3. Ridership for the combined SPMU service from and to San Jacinto, Temecula and
downtown Riverside is estimated from between approximately 5,200 and 8,200 riders per
day for 2005 and from between approximately 10,000 and 15,500 by 2020 under the
present SCAG adopted growth forecasts and distributions. These figures include an
estimate of riders who would transfer to Metrolink service in Riverside.
4. Peak hour boardings and alightings are sufficiently low on either line. Operation of peak
period service with extended early hours to capture Metrolink transfer riders would be costly.
5. Further evaluation of preliminary boarding and alighting data by station may indicate those
potential station areas to further discuss as part of the CETAP process to determine land
use and transit linkages and appropriate uses, densities and intensities. RCTC should carry
these findings forward into CETAP's recently convened Transit Task Force.
Based upon SCAG's present population and employment growth and distributions for 2020
there appears to be insufficient ridership to support a SPMU option at this time. Were the
CETAP to result in greater densities along this corridor fixed -route guideway option might be
strengthened.
While the SPMU ridership analysis did not yield sufficient ridership for an all -day service, there
are very strong indications that the region could support express bus service for the home -to -
work market between Perris-Temecula-Murrieta and Riverside. We urge RCTC to advance this
project as well.

Eric Haley
Executive Director

Riverside, CA 92501
Dear Mr. Haley:
MEOW
Joint Powers Board
At the April 28, 2000 Southern California Intercity Rail Group (SCIRG) meeting, the Board
voted to approve an amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) and extend an opportunity
to Ventura County Transportation Authority to re join SCIRG. The amendment extends the JPA
for four years. June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2004. After June 30, 2004, am farther extension would
need to go before the member agency governing boards.
At this time it is necessary for each member agency's governing board to approve and sign the
extension of the JPA as recommended.
Signed SCIRG Joint Powers Agreements should be sent to the administrator, Jacki Bacharch:
Jacki Bacharach & Associates
5033 Rock Valley Road
Rancho Palos Verdes. CA 90274
Sincerely
Jhliafine Nygaard

City of Banning
Effective July 1", weekday service will be extended one hour to meet the needs of
working individuals. Two demonstration bus routes serving Cabazon and the City of
Banning on Sundays will be implemented. Dial -a -ride service hours will increase to
accommodate ADA certified passenger service requests for additional weekday and
Saturday service in both Cabazon and the City of Banning.
City of Beaumont
In August 2000, two fixed routes will be developed to service the southern and
northern sections of the city's service area. In addition, in September 2000, Saturday
service will be implemented as well as extending the hours of service to begin two
hours earlier in the morning and end one hour later in the evening.
City of Corona
The City is required to meet a fare revenue ratio of 20% for its general public dial -a -ride
service. On May 9; 2000, the City conducted a public hearing on a proposed fare
increase to be implemented in July 2000, and although the City will double its current
fare, they are estimating that they will not meet the required 20%. The City has
submitted a request for Measure "A" Specialized Transit funds to help meet their fare
revenue ratio. The City is also looking to implement a community fixed route shuttle
service in January 2001, pending the results of a public hearing.
Regional Commuter Rail
In FY 2000/01, two Saturday round -trips on the Riverside (UP) Line and up to four
Sunday round -trips on the San Bernardino Line via Riverside, will be provided marking
the advent of Metrolink as a seven day a week provider of commuter rail service.
Weekday service levels for the Riverside and Inland Empire -Orange County Line are not
anticipated to change from the current 12 daily trains. The Commuter Rail SRTP
proposes RCTC's share of the Metrolink FY 2001 operating and maintenance -of -way
budget in the amount of $3,148,900, which represents a $248,800 increase over the_
FY 1999/00 budget. RCTC's new capital and capital renovation obligation for FY
2000/01 is projected at $759,900 (an increase of $445,300) primarily due to
rehabilitation and renovation of the River Corridor.

Commuter Assistance programs are an important priority that is a component of the
voter -approved Measure A Expenditure Plan, which set aside funding for rideshare
programs. Currently, the Commission offers Advantage Rideshare, a program which
provides a daily rideshare incentive for three months to new commuters who make the
decision to no longer drive alone. The Commission also offers Club Ride for ongoing
ridesharers and transit users. Club Ride provides merchant discounts at participating
businesses in the Inland Empire for Club members.
The proposed policy changes involve the Advantage Rideshare program which
currently provides a $2 daily incentive (paid in gift certificates from participating
businesses) for three months to commuters who take alternative forms of
transportation instead of driving alone. The incentive can be earned by carpooling,
vanpooling, taking transit, telecommuting or by walking or bicycling to work.
Currently, the program will provide a $2 daily benefit, but the amount is reduced if the
commuter's employer also provides an incentive. According to current RCTC
Commuter Assistance Program requirements, the total combined benefit a commuter
can receive from his employer and the Advantage Rideshare program is $3 per day.
Since a handful of employers provide free bus passes or other benefits to vanpoolers
and others who don't drive alone, the Advantage Rideshare program sometimes only
pays a reduced amount (sometimes as little as 50 cents) to ensure that the daily
benefit doesn't exceed $3.
The Commission also provides similar programs to San Bernardino County commuters
under a contract with the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG). The
contract with SANBAG was approved by the Commission in May.
For the coming fiscal year, staff proposes a standard benefit of $2 per day regardless
of any benefit that is provided by the employer. This is more reflective of a non -
regulatory environment. Currently, only four employers in Riverside County offer
additional benefits to their employers, so the policy change will have a minor financial
impact on the program. The standardized benefit will reduce the burden of monitoring
the benefits provided by employers by streamlining administrative processes and could
encourage greater participation in the program by offering a flat incentive.
The other proposed change addresses a current restriction that limits benefits to
commuters who arrive at work between 4:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on weekday
mornings. In recent years, Riverside County has benefitted from significant job
growth. Major employment gains have been seen in the manufacturing sector as well
as in many health care jobs. The standard morning to afternoon shift no longer covers
many commuters in Riverside County. Congestion is now an all -day problem
throughout the work week and even on weekends. Staff proposes to offer the
incentive to commuters who rideshare on any weekday and will also offer incentives
to those traveling to work on weekends if it is part of a full-time job and includes travel
on other days of the week.

requires staff to report to the Commission when a buspool's ridership falls to 25 or
below and seek direction regarding the continuation of. the buspool's subsidy. A
buspool ridership summary chart for FY 99/00 is attached as Attachment 1.
To renew their annual subsidy, an existing buspool is required to request continuation
funding for the new fiscal year from the Commission in writing. Attached as
Attachment 2 are the FY 00/01 request letters from the following three existing
buspools:
RIVERSIDE/FULLERTON BUSPOOL:
Begun in the early 1980's, the Riverside to Fullerton - Raytheon (formerly known as
Hughes) buspool route includes stops at the La Sierra Metrolink Station and Corona
park and ride lot. Because the La Sierra Metrolink Station is experiencing
overcrowding at its lot for Metrolink riders, staff recommends that the buspool use any
other appropriate location as the staging area for this buspool such as the La Sierra
University park and ride. The average monthly ridership for the current fiscal year is
24 passengers with the lowest single monthly ridership being 21 and the highest 28.
Raytheon staff will be requested to develop a marketing plan to ensure ridership meets
or exceeds the 25 minimum ridership threshold. Staff will closely monitor ridership
over the next six months. If ridership continues to fall below the minimum threshold,
staff will return to the Commission seeking direction. As Raytheon pays its employees
a $21 transit subsidy, the monthly pass cost for Raytheon employees is $85. Any
non -Raytheon employee passengers pay $106. The contract provider Safeway Lines
& Tour Company has accessible coaches available for use on the route if a person with
disabilities purchases a monthly buspool pass.
RIVERSIDE/EL SEGUNDO BUSPOOL:
Begun in June, 1995, the Riverside to El Segundo - Raytheon buspool route includes
stops at the Galleria at Tyler Mall and Corona park and ride lots. The average monthly
ridership for the current fiscal year is 41 passengers with the lowest single monthly
ridership being 36 and the highest 45. As Raytheon pays its employees a $21 transit
subsidy, the monthly pass cost for Raytheon employees is $109. Any non -Raytheon
employee passengers pay $130. The contract provider, Mark IV, has accessible
coaches available for use on the route if a person with disabilities purchases a monthly
buspool pass.
MORENO VALLEY - EL SEGUNDO BUSPOOL:
Begun in February, 1996, the Moreno Valley to El Segundo - Raytheon buspool route
includes stops at the Moreno Valley Mall and Corona park and ride lots. The average
monthly ridership for the current fiscal year is 34 passengers with the lowest single
monthly ridership being 30 and the highest 38. As Raytheon pays its employees a
$21 transit subsidy, the monthly pass cost for Raytheon employees is $119. Any
non -Raytheon employee passengers pay $144. The contract provider, Mark IV, has
accessible coaches available for use on the route if a person with disabilities purchases
a monthly buspool pass.

The proposed FY 00/01 contract between RCTC and the Southern California
Association of Governments is attached and labeled Attachment 1. This contract
defines the terms and conditions regarding project goals, budgets, reporting, invoicing
and payment for services rendered. The contract is in the process of being reviewed
and approved by RCTC's Legal Counsel. The regional rideshare core services work
program which is attached to this agenda item and marked as Attachment A consists
of four elements: 1) Survey and RideGuide Production; 2) Database Management and
Quality Assurance; 3) Telephone Customer Information Center; and 4) Studies and
Regional Marketing. As in previous years, the five CTC's have taken a collaborative
approach in the development of the work program, and expect to oversee the
performance of SCR through the collective RTAC process. Attachment B provides a
detailed breakdown of the budget for FY 00/01.
Included in RCTC's FY 00/01 draft budget under the Commuter Assistance Program
is a line item allocation to SCR to cover RCTC's share of the regional rideshare
program. Funding for each of the five CTC's is based on a population formula with
RCTC's share representing 8.05% of the five county population base which equates
to $245,786. Attachment C identifies the total contract cost of $3,051 ,614 and
provides a breakdown of each CTC's proportionate share.
The services provided through SCR, at the regional level, complements our local
employer rideshare services offered through our Commuter Assistance Program.
Those services include production of RideGuides, survey implementation, technical
assistance, and employer education.
