YEAR 2000/01 - 2005/06
Charles Keynejad, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG1, provided the

Plans and Programs Committee Minutes
August 28, 2000

Commissioner Bob Buster stated that the 60/91 /215 project could be considered the most
important project in Riverside County, and at this point appears to be in jeopardy. In all
probability other projects of far less importance could supersede this project based solely on
the type of politics currently taking place at the state level. He suggested the Commission
send a strong message to the State- that Riverside County does not want this State money
from the Governor under these circumstances.
Chairperson. Robin Lowe asked the Executive Director's opinion regarding the repercussions
should the Committee decline to take action today, as the Commission has been asked to make
a decision based on information that does not include the final figures. Eric Haley
recommended the Committee move forward on the item with exception of delaying action on
items 1 and 2.
M/S/C (Wilson/Hall) recommend that the Commission: delay taking action on the
following items for one month: 1) Reserve the STIP Discretionary funds for the
purposes of addressing potential funding decisions; and 2) Program $26.49 million in
2000 STIP Augmentation funding available in the Western County to the 60/91/215
Corridor Projects to assist in the funding shortfall. Approve the following items:
3) Amend the Ramon Road STIP Project to identify the project cost as $20.0 million;
4) Program the STIP formula funds available in the Coachella Valley as outlined by
CVAG and detailed in the agenda item; 5) Reserve the STIP formula funds available in
the Palo Verde Valley for projects to be recommended by the City of Blythe and the
County of Riverside; and 6) Initiate project application for those TCRP projects for
which we are identified as lead and to include all Riverside County TCRP projects in the
Regional Transportation Improvement Program.
Nays: Kelly, Kleindienst, Ruppert and Zeller
7. MEASURE A STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLETION — WESTERN COUNTY HIGHWAY/RAIL
Eric Haley, Executive Director reminded the Committee that at the June 2000 meeting, a
decision was made regarding rail expenditures. Until 2009, the Commission had the option of
spending up to $67 million on Western County Rail. This item concerns years 2008 and 2009
where there will be an unallocated amount of $28.4 million for non -rail projects, which was
not part of the action taken June 2000. It is requested that the strategic planning process be
closed with that understanding. The Metrolink rail services are Western County projects and
as such the money would derive in the years 2008 and 2009 to Western County projects.
Commissioner Buster raised a question concerning the use of such funds for the 60/91 /215
Corridor projects. Eric Haley responded that it would be 2008 and 2009 money and is
essentially available too far in the future to be of any real assistance. In addition, it would
require altering project timetables and shifting money in order to utilize the funds on the
60/91 /215 Corridor.
M/S/C (Bourbonnais/Buster) recommend Commission approve the possible use of
$28.4 million in Western County Measure "A" funds currently identified as available
in the Strategic Plan for named Measure "A" Highway Projects and/or unidentified
Commuter Rail projects.

from FY 00 to FY 01 for the City of Riverside to purchase computer equipment and
software; and 2) Amend the City of Riverside's FY '01 Short Range Transit Plan to

15. CONSULTANT AGREEMENT WITH GLADSTEIN & ASSOCIATES IN SUPPORT OF THE
INTERSTATE CLEAN TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR PROJECT.
M/S/C (Kleindienst/Wilson) recommend the Commission: 1) Enter into a consultant
agreement with Gladstein & Associates to implement the FY-00.01 Interstate Clean
Transportation Corridor (ICTC) scope of work; 2) Authorize the Chairman, pursuant
to Legal Counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and
3) Approve the allocation of $25,000 from Transportation Development Act (TDA)
funds for the work effort.

FROM:
Shirley Medina, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Cathy Bechtel, Director of Planning- and'Programming
SUBJECT:
2001 Regional Transportation Plan Update
STAFF RECOMMEND.A TION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to receive a report on the 2001 Regional
Transportation Plan Update and to forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2001 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is currently being developed by the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The RTP is a long range
transportation plan covering the years 2001 through 2025. It is required to be in
conformance with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance to EPA's
Transportation Conformity Rule. Adoption of the 2001 RTP is scheduled for April,
2001. The lapse date for the current RTP is June 30, 2001. In order to continue the
flow of federal funds to the region SCAG must adopt the 2001 RTP and the federal
agencies must approve the plan before June 30, 2001. Therefore, these next few
months will be critical as policy decisions are being formulated to achieve the mobility
and environmental needs of the region.
SCAG began the RTP development last year and has established several committees
to provide input and develop recommendations on the following plan areas:
• Goods Movement (Truck and Rail)
• -Highway and Local Arterial
• Transit Restructuring (Bus and Rail)
• Growth Forecasts
• Aviation
• Financing
• Transportation Corridors
• High Speed Rail
Members of the various committees include County Transportation Commissions,
Subregional Agencies, Transit Operators, local agencies, including private sector
agencies.

Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Naty Kopenhaver, Director of Administrative Services
THROUGH:
Eric Haley, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Proposed FY 2000-2001 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program
(DBE) and Overall Annual Goal for Federally Funded DOT - Assisted
Projects
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee:
1) Approve RCTC's FY 2000-2001 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
Program;
2) Set 17.8% for its DBE participation overall annual goal for federally
funded and DOT -assisted projects;
3) Authorize staff to submit its DBE Program to Caltrans District 08's Local
Assistance and to the FTA for approval;
4) Authorize staff to make necessary revisions to the consultant/contractor
model agreements to comply with necessary Federal contract clause
revisions; and
5) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The purpose of the DBE Program is to ensure equal opportunity in transportation
contracting markets, address the effects of discrimination in transportation
contracting, and promote increased participation in federally funded contracts by small,
socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, including minority and women
owned enterprises. DBEs must be certified by the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), or by a local agency with a reciprocity agreement with
Caltrans, in order to be eligible as a DBE.
Changes to the DBE Program, as set forth in the Federal Register 49 CFR Part 26,
must be incorporated in the agency's program. An agency receiving federal funds
must submit its revised program that meets the federal requirements to Caltrans by
October 1. Changes to the Program includes how local agencies receiving federal
funds develop its DBE participation goal, documentation requirements before and
000003
$ 5, 551,000 ($1,426,000 - construction, $4,115,000 - professional services, $10,000
- materials/supplies). Using the above -mentioned information, the proposed annual
overall goal for FY 2000-2001 for DBE participation is 17.8% ( see attached).
For FY 1999-2000, the Commission has set its goal at 11.6 %. Through award of
projects, the Commission's attained 18% DBE participation goal last fiscal year. In
reviewing the federally funded projects for the upcoming fiscal year, the Commission
should be able to attain the 17.8% DBE participation goal.
Because of a previously planned vacation, I will not be .able _to be present at the
Committee's meeting. John Walsh, BB&K - Legal Counsel, will be presenting this item
on my behalf and will answer any questions that the Committee might have.

provisions contained in this DBE Program shall be adhered to both in the spirit and
letter by all RCTC personnel.
RCTC shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex
in the award and performance of any federally assisted contract or in the
administration of its DBE Program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The
recipient shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure
nondiscrimination in the award and administration of federally funded and DOT
assisted contracts. The recipient's DBE Program, as required by 49 CFR Part 26 and
as approved by the DOT, is incorporated by reference in this agreement.
Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms
shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the RCTC of its
failure to carry out its approved program, RCTC may impose sanctions as provided for
under Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under
18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801

XI OVERCONCENTRATION (§26.33)
Currently, RCTC has not identified any types of work in DOT -assisted contracts
that have an over -concentration of DBE participation. If in the future RCTC
identifies the need to address over -concentration, measures for addressing over -
concentration will be submitted to the DLAE for approval.
XII BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS (§26.35)
Currently, RCTC does not have a business development or mentor -protegee
program. If RCTC identifies the need for such a program in .the future, the
rationale for adopting such a program and a comprehensive description of it will
be submitted to the DLAE for approval.
XIII REQUIRED CONTRACT CLAUSES (§ §26.13, 26.29)
CONTRACT ASSURANCE
RCTC ensures that the following clause is placed in every DOT -assisted contract
and subcontract:
The contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract.
The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26
in the award and administration of DOT -assisted contracts. Failure by
the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this
contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such
other remedy as recipient deems appropriate.
PROMPT PAYMENT
RCTC ensures that the following clauses or equivalent will be included in each
DOT -assisted prime contract:
Satisfactory Performance
The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime
contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 10
days from the receipt of each payment the prime contractor receives
from RCTC. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above
referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written
approval of RCTC. This clause applies to both DBE and non -DBE
subcontractors.
Release of Retannage
The prime contractor agrees further to release retainage payments to
6
000014
4100-4144. FPA requires the contractor to list all subcontractors in excess of
one half of one percent (0.5 %) of the contractor's total bid or $10,000,
whichever is greater. The statute is designed to prevent bid shopping by
contractors. The FPA explains that a contractor may not substitute a
subcontractor listed in the original bid except with the approval of the awarding
authority.
The CPMU will give the contractor a blank "Final Report Utilization of
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, First Tier Subcontractors" (Exhibit IV) and
will explain to them that the document will be required at the end of the project,
in conformance with the contract and that failure to submit the Report can
result in withholding of payments to the contractors.
Construction Contract Monitoring
The CPMU will ensure that its staff (inspectors) know what items of work
each DBE is responsible for performing. Inspectors will notify the CPMU
immediately of apparent violations.
When a firm other than the listed DBE subcontractor is found performing the
work, the CPMU will notify the contractor of the apparent discrepancy and
potential loss of payment. Based on the contractor's response, the CPMU will
take appropriate action: The DBE Liaison Officer will perform a preliminary
investigation to identify any potential issues related to the DBE subcontractor
performing a commercially useful function. Any substantive issues will be
forwarded to the Caltrans Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. If the
contractor fails to adequately explain why there is a discrepancy, payment for
the work will be withheld and a letter will be sent to the contractor referencing
the applicable specification violation and the required withholding of payment.
If the contract requires the submittal of a monthly truck document, the
contractor will be required to submit documentation to the CPMU showing the
owner's name; California Highway Patrol CA number; and the DBE certification
number of the owner of the truck for each truck used during that month for
which DBE participation will be claimed. The trucks will be listed by California
Highway Patrol CA number in the daily diary or on a separate piece of paper for
documentation. The numbers are checked by inspectors regularly to confirm
compliance.
Providing evidence of DBE payment is the responsibility of the contractor.
Substitution
When a DBE substitution is requested, the CPMU will request a letter from the
contractor explaining why substitution is needed. The CPMU must review the
letter to be sure names and addresses are shown, dollar values are included, and
the reason for the request is explained. If the CPMU agrees to the substitution,
8
000016
Internet at www.dot.ca.gov/ha/bep and keep the CPMU informed of changes
that affect the contract.
The Liaison Officer will use the PS&E checklist to monitor RCTC's commitment
to require bidders list information to be submitted to RCTC from the awarded
prime and subcontractors as a means to develop a bidders list. This monitoring
will only take place if the bidders list information is required to be submitted as
stipulated in the special provisions.
RCTC will bring to the attention of the DOT through the Liaison Officer any
false, fraudulent, or dishonest conduct in connection with the program, so that
DOT- can take the steps (e.g., referral to the Department of Justice for -criminal
prosecution, referral to the DOT Inspector General, action under suspension and
debarment or Program Fraud and Civil Penalties rules) provided in § 26.109.
RCTC also will consider similar action under its legal authorities, including
responsibility determinations in future contracts.
XV CONTRACT GOALS (§26.51)
RCTC will use contract goals in order to meet its overall goal where it cannot
meet its overall goal by race -neutral means. Contract goals may be established
so that, over the period to which the overall goal applies, they will cumulatively
result in meeting any portion of the overall goal that is not projected to be met
through the use of race -neutral means.
Contract goals will be established only on those federally funded contracts that
have subcontracting possibilities. Contract goals need not be established on
every such contract, and the size of contract goals will be adapted to the
circumstances of each such contract (e.g., type and location of work,
availability of DBEs t❑ perform the particular type of work). The contract work
items will be compared with eligible DBE contractors willing to work on the
project. A determination will also be made to decide which items are likely to
be performed by the prime contractor and which ones are likely to be performed
by the subcontractor(s). The goal will then be incorporated into the contract
documents. Contract goals will be expressed as a percentage of the total
amount of a federally -assisted contract.
Information to be Submitted
RCTC treats bidders/offerors' compliance with good faith effort requirements
as a matter of responsiveness. A responsive proposal is meeting all the
requirements of the advertisement and solicitation.
Each solicitation for which a contract goal has been established will require the
bidders/offerors to submit the following information to 3560 University Avenue,
Riverside, California 92501 no later than 4:00 p.m. on or before the fourth day,
not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, following bid opening:
10
00001E
inability or unwillingness to perform and provide reasonable documentation.
In this situation, the prime contractor will be required to obtain from RCTC prior
approval of the substitute DBE and to provide copies of new or amended
subcontracts, or documentation of good faith efforts. If the contractor fails or
refuses to comply in the time specified, RCTC's contracting office will issue an
order stopping all or part of payment/work until satisfactory action has been
taken. If the contractor still fails to comply, the contracting officer may issue
a termination for default proceeding.
XVI OVERALL GOALS (§26.45)
The RCTC shall establish contract goals only on those federally funded
contracts that. have subcontracting possibilities. RCTC need not establish a
contract goal on every such contract, and the size of contract goals will be
adapted to the circumstances of each such contract (i.e., type and location of
work, availability of DBEs to perform the particular type of work). The RCTC
will compare the contract work items with eligible DBE contractors willing to
work on the project. A determination will also be made to decide which items
are likely to be performed by the prime contractor and which ones are likely to
be performed by subcontractors. The goal will then be incorporated into the
contract documents. RCTC will express its contract goals as a percentage to
the total amount of federally assisted contracts.
Amount of Goal
RCTC's overall goal for the Federal FY 2000-2001 is the following: 17.8% of
the Federal financial assistance in FHWA-assisted contracts. RCTC estimates
that 26% of this overall goal will be reached through race -neutral means and
74% will be met through contract::; goals.::'`'`"
Methodology
(1) Projecting DOT -Assisted Contract Expenditures
In conjunction with the preparation and adoption of the budget for each
fiscal year, the CPMU, in consultation with the appropriate RCTC
departments responsible for contracting activities, shall conduct a
thorough analysis of the projected number, type of work, and dollar
amounts of contacting opportunities that shall be funded, in whole or
part, by DOT federal assistance for that fiscal year. This analysis shall
exclude projected contract expenditures with Transit Vehicle
Manufacturers, who are exempt from the Program as described herein.
(2) Establishing a Base Figure
Pursuant to 49 CFR 26.45, RCTC shall develop a base figure to express
12
000020
the fiscal year. The calculation shall include a weight factor
according to the contract expenditure pattern:
(1) Adjusting the Base Figure:
Pursuant to 49 CFR 26.45(d), RCTC shall adjust the base
figure based on demonstrable evidence indicating that the
number of available DBEs for federally funded DOT -assisted
contracts for the fiscal year may be higher of lower than the
base figure indicates. At a minimum, the DBELO and the
CPMU shall analyze the results of RCTC's efforts to
contract with DBEs for the past two years, any -available
and relevant results of other, similar DOT recipients' efforts
to contract with DBEs, any relevant factor or projections
from DBE professional organizations or others.
Using the data collected regarding over -concentration, DBE
availability of firms ready, willing and able, and other
necessary adjustments, a goal shall be set at the level of
DBE participation expected absence the effects of
discrimination.
XVII COUNTING DBE PARTICIPATION (§26.55)
RCTC will count DBE participation toward overall and contract goals as provided
in the contract specifications for the prime contractor, subcontractor, joint
venture partner with prime or subcontractor, or vendor of material or supplies.
.f �;..
XVIII CERTIFICATION (§26.83(a}`) ':;
RCTC ensures that only DBE firms currently certified on the Ca!trans' directory
will participate as. DBEs in its program.
XIX INFORMATION COLLECTION AND REPORTING
Bidders List
RCTC will create and maintain a bidders list, consisting of information about all
DBE and non -DBE firms that bid or quote on its DOT -assisted contracts. The
bidders list will include the name, address, DBE/non-DBE status, age, and annual
gross receipts of firms.
Monitoring Payments to DBEs
Prime contractors are required to maintain records and documents of payments
to DBEs for three years following the performance of the contract. These

SUBJECT:
CETAP Internal Corridors Schedule and Community
Outreach Plan
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to receive and file the CETAP Internal
Corridors Schedule and Community Outreach Plan and forward to the Commission for
final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Attached is the planned schedule for the environmental study work required on the
Banning/Beaumont to Temecula Corridor and the Hemet to Corona/Lake Elsinore
Corridor. The required work on the two inter -county corridors (Riverside to Orange
County and Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County) will proceed under separate
schedules as determined by the bi-county coordinating committee for each corridor.
The schedule highlights major milestones we need to meet in order to complete the
Draft EIR/EIS by mid -July for the public hearing phase. During the month of October
we will begin circulating a working paper to assist in the evaluation of initial
alternatives within each of the internal corridors. The CETAP Advisory Committee will
first see this document on October 3`d. Follow-up meetings have been scheduled for
October 12" to allow additional opportunity for questions and answers from the
Advisory Committee. Additionally, we have a meeting on October 16th with RCTC's
Technical Advisory Committee to allow the Public Works Directors the opportunity to
provide comment. Three public meetings will also be scheduled in late October. The
recommendations on alternatives to be evaluated in greater detail as part of the EIR/EIS
process will come forward to the Commission at the November 8m meeting.
Also attached for your review is the Community Outreach Plan for the two intra-county
corridors. In order to complete the EIR/EIS process, it is critical that we share what
we are planning with the public and provide opportunities for their input. In addition
to public meetings, we are planning to provide briefings to the City Councils, develop
two newsletters, as well continue to post information on the RCIP web site.

SCHEDULE FOR CETAP CORRIDOR EVALUATIONS
BANNINGBEAUMONT TO TEMECULA CORRIDOR
AND
HEMET TO CORONA/LAICE ELSINORE CORRIDOR
This schedule identifies current major target dates for the CETAP corridor environmental studies
for the two intra-county corridors. The Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County and Orange
County corridors will proceed under separate schedules as identified by the bi-county committees
for each corridor.
October 3, 2000 — Present working papers (one for each of the internal corridors) to the CETAP
Advisory Committee on evaluation of initial alternatives. The objective of the working papers is
a further screening of the alternatives to allow a narrowing down of the alternatives to those that
will be carried into more detailed evaluation in the EIR/EIS.
October 12 — Follow-up Question/Answer session on the working papers for the CETAP
Advisory Committee and other interested parties
Late October — Hold three public meetings to allow the public to review the results of the
working papers and to provide input to which alternatives should be carried further. These public
meetings will also serve as the scoping meetings under NEPA/CEQA.
November 7 - Present recommendations to the CETAP Advisory Committee on alternatives to be
evaluated in greater detail in the ElR/EIS for each corridor. The hope is to obtain concurrence on
the alternatives to move forward at that meeting. Immediately thereafter, we would provide that
information to the appropriate Federal and State agencies to initiate their concurrence process.
The target would be to carry three alteratives into more detailed evaluation in each corridor.
Each alternative may have a highway and transit element.
End of December - NEPA/404 agencies provide concurrence on Purpose and Need, evaluation
criteria, and alternatives.
Early January 2001 — Detailed engineering and environmental studies are initiated for the more
limited number of alternatives.
CETAP Advisory Committee meets every other month from January to July.
Mid July — Complete the Draft EIR/EIS for each corridor and release to public.
Late July — Hold second set of public meetings to obtain input on evaluation of detailed
alternatives.
October — RCTC and Board of Supervisors recommend a preferred alternative for each corridor.
November — Engineering completed on right-of-way for preferred alternative
December — Final EIR/EIS completed
April, 2002 — Record of Decision prepared and published

FY 00/01 State Transit Assistance Allocations .and Resolution No.
00-015, "A Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation
Commission to Allocate State Transit Assistance Funds"
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Approve the FY 00/01 State Transit Assistance Fund allocations in
Riverside County as presented on the attached table;
2) Adopt Resolution No. 00-015; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In order for the public transit operators to claim State Transit Assistance (STA) funds
for operating and capital purposes, the Commission must allocate funds to support the
transit services and capital projects contained in the approved FY 2001-2007 Short
Range Transit Plan (SRTP) identified for funding with State Transit Assistance funds.
When the SRTP was prepared, the operators assumed for planning purposes that the
State appropriation of funds would be the same as the previous year. According to the
State Controller's Office, the amount of STA funds that are expected to be received in
Riverside County for FY 01 is $2,478,010 ($2,237,813 discretionary pot, $240,197
operators specific pot). An additional $115,246 in unapportioned STA funds (reference
RCTC's FY 99 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) and $921,203 in western
Riverside county STA funds is also available (reference RCTC's FY 01 Revenue
Estimates) bringing the total to $3,514,459.
The attached table outlines the specific operator allocations which need to be approved
by the Commission. The State allocated non -discretionary funds will be used first with
the balance derived from the discretionary allocation.

FY 2000-01 Short Range Transit Plan Amendment for the Palo
Verde Valley Transit Agency
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Amend the FY2000-01 Short Range Transit Plan for the Palo Verde
Valley Transit Agency to allow implementation of a pilot program for
transportation of veterans from the Palo Verde Valley into the Coachella
Valley and Loma Linda for medical needs,
2) Allocate an additional $10,000 in Local Transportation Funds to pay for
this pilot program, and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA) is requesting an amendment to their
FY 2000-01 Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to -support implementation of a pilot
program to serve veterans needing to obtain medical services in the Coachella Valley
and at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Loma Linda. As you will recall, the
need -for this service was raised at the Unmet Transit Needs Hearing held by the
Commission in March of this year. Representatives from the V.A. Hospital, County
Veteran's Services, the Blythe Outpatient Committee, and the PVVTA have been
discussing the best way to meet these travel needs in a cost effective manner.
The Veteran's Transportation Program is being recommended as a pilot program which
would run for a period of a year in order to determine its feasibility. The Government
Services Agency has agreed .to provide a vehicle for this service. The PVVTA is
requesting approval to use $10,000 in Local Transportation Funds available in the Palo
Verde Valley to support the maintenance and operation of the vehicle and the
operator's wages for this fiscal year. The service is initially planned to operate twice
per month into the Coachella Valley and once per month into Loma Linda. The details
of the service operation are still being refined and the actual number of trips may

Rail Program Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to receive and file the Rail Program Update
as an information item and forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
MTA Strike Update:
The first full business day of the MTA strike was Monday, September 18. SCRRA
Executive Director, David Solow, reports that "Metrolink and the MTA ran two routes
to downtown locations. Ridership on the buses was more than 5,200/a.m. peak
period riders. Our Metrolink ridership was only down 2-3 % but it is difficult to
determine at this time how much our normal ridership is down versus "fill-in" from
new MTA pass holders. We expect ridership to stabilize and bus ridership to increase
over the next several days if the strike continues. We will be assessing whether
additional buses are needed over the next 2-3 days."
Riverside Line
Weekday Patronage: Ridership on Metrolink's Riverside Line for the month of August
averaged 4,133, a decrease of 5% from the month of July. Unfortunately, this
summer we have experienced serious performance problems on the Line. In recent
weeks, the number and duration of delays has increased significantly resulting in
Metrolink's service deteriorating to unacceptable levels for our riders.
In response to delays, Metrolink is offering a 2 for 1 monthly pass discount to
Riverside Line riders only. The offer provides the December monthly pass free to
purchasers of a November Riverside Line monthly pass. This discount is available only
by mail.
Metrolink staff continues to work with Union Pacific (UP) on a number of strategies
to address the problems, including but not limited to, possible capital projects, legal
remedies, and performance mitigation.
As stated above, it is too early to tell if the MTA strike will have an impact on the
ridership for this Line.

News Release:
METROLINK OFFERS 2 FOR 1 MONTHLY
PASS FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER
ON RIVERSIDE LINE
Regular riders to receive fare reduction due to ongoing
service delays
Contact: Claudia Keith (213) 452-0233
email: keithc@scrra.net
LOS ANGELES, CA, MONDAY, SEPT. 11, 2000: Regular riders on
Metrolink's Riverside Line will receive a 2 for 1 discount on November and
December monthly passes in a policy approved by the Southern California
Regional Rail Authority Board. A November/December monthly pass will
be sold at the November fare for the designated number of zones traveled.
Metrolink is offering the 2 for 1 pass program to compensate for the
ongoing service delays passengers have experienced recently on the
Riverside Line that is operated by Union Pacific. Passengers have been
inconvenienced by service delays, signal outages and other operational
breakdowns that have considerably reduced the line's overall on time
performance.
"These service delays have been recurrent and unpredictable," said
Metrolink Board Chairman Bill Davis. "Passengers deserve a break. We
need to recognize that there has been a degree of uncertainty they are going
to arrive at their destination on time."
By choosing the 2 for 1 program, passengers will essentially get a 50%
discount on their November monthly pass and an added 25% discount in
December since Metrolink regularly provides a 25% December discount to
all riders. The two -month special pass will be valid only on the Riverside
Line, and will be sold through the mail, at the Union Station ticket window
or through Metrolink's Corporate Pass Program. Passes purchased for use
on the San Bernardino or Riverside Lines normally can be used on either
line. The ticket vending machines will continue to sell monthly passes at the
normal price during November and December that are valid on both the
Riverside and San Bernardino lines.
Order forms for the special 2 for 1 passes will be available on Metrolink's
