AGENDA ITEM #4A
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 7, 1992
TO: Administrative Committee
Budget and Finance Committee
FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Measure A Expenditure Plan Amendment and Options
The Commission has been considering three Measure A Expenditure Plan
Amendments. Action to forward these amendments to the County, the cities,
WRCOG and CVAG was held over last month due to concerns over the Route 60
project addition voiced by the City of Riverside and the appropriate action and
wording for five proposals submitted for consideration by the County of Riverside.
Staff was directed to review these items with staff from the two agencies and to
bring back appropriate documents for proceeding with this item.
We have had discussions with County staff and believe we have agreement with the
approach contained in the Draft Resolution (Attachment "A" ) for processing their
proposals. A copy of this attachment has been given to County staff and we should
have their comments prior to the Committee meeting. The request to change the
formula for distributing local streets and roads funds to the cities and the county
would be held over until an amendment requiring voter approval, such as increasing
the Bonding Authority is considered. We are scheduled to meet with staff from the
City of Riverside and Commission Alternate Alex Clifford Monday, May 4th. We will
report the outcome of that meeting at the Committee meeting. We expect that it will
be difficult to give the City of Riverside the assurances they are seeking regarding the
Route 91 project and the interchange improvements they are requesting as part of the
project prior to completion of the Financial Plan Update, which has been delayed due
to uncertainty related to rail negotiations.
Staff and Legal Counsel have identified some options for moving ahead with the
items identified in the Plan Amendment on a interim basis. These are partial solutions
but will suffice until the Financial Plan Update is completed. The Amendments and
interim solutions as options to proceeding with the Plan Amendment are provided
below.

RESOLUTION NO. (1,) C (_---
RESOLUTION OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION ADOPTING
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES REGARDING
THE ALLOCATION OF MEASURE "A" LOCAL
STREETS AND ROADS SALES TAX REVENUES
WHEREAS, the Commission is authorized pursuant to
Ordinance No. 88-1 (Measure "A"), as approved by a vote of the
people in November, 1988, to levy and administer a retail
transaction and use tax of one-half of one percent within the
County of Riverside for the purpose of implementing transportation
improvements described in the expenditure plan dated July 13, 1988
(the "Expenditure Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Commission has determined that it is
necessary to adopt certain administrative procedures regarding the
allocation of Measure "A" local streets and roads revenues to
cities and Riverside County.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Riverside County Transportation
Commission hereby resolves as follows:
Section 1. Repayment for MaTor County Expenditures. The
County of Riverside has undertaken and plans to continue to
construct major transportation projects within unincorporated areas
of the County. Some of these projects are located on land that
will inevitably be annexed by cities. The Commission has
determined that in many cases it is fair and reasonable that an
annexing city be required to pledge some or all of its Measure "A"
local streets and roads revenues to repay the County for the cost
of such projects. Thus, the Commission resolves to cooperate with
SCD106840
Section 4. Adjustments to Local Streets and Roads
Allocation Estimates. Consistent with the policy set forth in
paragraph 5(b) of "General Provisions of the Improvement Plan" of
the Expenditure Plan, after the Commission makes its estimated
allocation of local streets and roads revenues at its June meeting,
no adjustments in that allocation will be made until the next
fiscal year, except to reflect changes resulting from the
incorporation of a new city.

based strategies for influencing travel behavior, mobile source emissions, and land
use development patterns;
o Examine pricing and other market proposals that have been recently made in
California;
o Review experiments that have been performed elsewhere;
o Probe strategies which hold the most promise, and strategies which require further
resolution;
o Review the role of existing subsidies in influencing choices; and,
o Analyze major unanswered questions and political issues associated with
implementation, such as equity achievement, use of revenues, and relationships
to regulatory frameworks.

Symposium Summary: The Transportation, land Use, Air Quality Connection
H. SUMMARY OF THE KEY TOPICS AND DISCUSSIONS
The conference was carefully designed to provide an array of perspectives on five related topics,
each of which is presented in tum on the following pages:
A. Transportation, Air Pollution, and Urban Form in California: An Overview.
B. How Far Can We Go With Technology?
C. Investing in Transportation Infrastructure and Managing Congestion for Air Quality
Improvements.
D. Urban Forms and Density Patterns: What Do We Know About These Relationships to
Transportation and Air Quality?
E. Regulatory Approaches to Maldng the Connections.
A. Transportation, Air Pollution, and Urban Form in California: An Overview
Professor Martin Wachs opened the symposium by outlining some of the policy and research
connections in transportation, air quality, and land use. Professor Wachs believes that our
knowledge of these connections is incomplete and that Americans, in general, have a naive view
of the relationship between research and policy -making. Scientific research is extremely
powerful because it is believed by most Americans to be objective and well-informed. These
views of science do not hold for research in transportation, land use, and air quality, in part,
contends Wachs, because the line between knowledge and advocacy is unclear. Academics view
their transportation and air quality research through the lenses of their disciplines, while policy
makers view these questions through the lenses of the various positions already taken by their
agencies. The "truth" gradually emerges from the lively interchange among facts, ideas, and
perspectives.
Michael Scheible of the California Air Resources Board (ARB) outlined the four components of
his agency's clean air efforts: cleaner new cars, clean up the cars in use, cleaner fuels, and the
implementation of transportation control measures (TCMs).
While technical improvements in vehicles during the last fifteen years have lowered emissions
by 70%, nearly half of these emissions improvements have been lost to the significant growth
in vehicle travel (particularly vehicle trips) during the same period. This, according to Scheible,
makes the implementation of Transportation Control Measures (TCMs, such as carpooling
programs) and indirect source regulations (ISRs, such as land use planning) key elements in
mitigating air quality degradation due to continued growth of both population and per capita
2
Symposium Summary:
The Transportation, LAM Use, Air Quality Connection
Given the better track record and political palatablilty of technological improvements,
technological fixes are a better path to clean air than the land use and demand management
policies currently proposed.
Current air quality standards, according to Professor Sperling, ignore energy policies and
requirements. Methanol and compressed natural gas are likely the preferred fuels for the first
half of the twenty-first century, but these, and all other new fuels, need to be examined for their
greenhouse effects as well. Vehicles designed for methanol (which is more expensive than
gasoline) provide modest ozone reductions and small energy security benefits, but no greenhouse
effect improvements. Further down the road, electric vehicles are the most promising new
technology, despite the fact that research and development on electric vehicles by the major auto
makers has languished. Finally, Professor Sperling believes that uniform emissions standards
make little sense; emissions standards should be targeted to specific problems in specific regions.
University of Denver Professor Donald Stedman then presented his controversial research on
remote sensing of vehicle emissions. This research shows that most mobile source emissions
come from a small minority of the vehicle fleet. Small improvements in the emission standards
of new cars and biennial vehicle inspection and maintenance programs, states Professor Stedman,
are far less effective strategies than finding and correcting the small minority of "gross
polluters." Professor Stedman bases his conclusions on data gathered using a remote sensing
device that measures vehicle emissions produced by cars driving by the detection equipment.
This device, developed by University of Denver researchers, has tested the emissions of over
300,000 vehicles in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
Professor Stedman contends that tighter new car emission standards will increase air pollution
because the higher cost of new, marginally cleaner cars will discourage the junking of older,
dirtier cars and keep gross polluters on the road longer. Contrary to popular perception,
however, the gross polluters are not simply the oldest cars; rather, they are vehicles of any age
that are out of tune or have malfunctioning or altered emission control equipment. According
to Professor Stedman, finding these cars, tuning them up, and fixing their existing emission
control equipment is the most cost-effective strategy to improve air quality.
The panel discussants were Larry Caren° of California State University, Northridge and Tim
Yau of the Electric Power Research Institute. The future of electric vehicles was discussed and
several audience members questioned both the accuracy of the Professor Stedman's remote
detection equipment and the administrative ease of locating and correcting the gross polluters.
Others warned against focusing exclusively on air quality as the only transportation problem;
they believe that energy use, mobility, and economic development are other valid goals of
transportation policy.

Symposium Summary: The Transportation, Land Use, Air Quality Connection
hydrocarbon emissions resulted from bottleneck improvements. These air quality improvements
could, however, be reversed if additional increments of suburban growth are induced by the new
highway capacity. The reason the highway investments to reduce traffic congestion result in
Only modest air quality improvements is because the new investments are relatively small and
incremental changes in comparison to the size of regional highway systems.
USC Planning Professor Genevieve Giuliano then discussed the potential air quality impacts of
congestion pricing. The theory of congestion pricing, according to Professor Giuliano, is based
on two beliefs: (1) that there exist markets based on supply and demand that can be equilibrated
by price, and (2) that time has a value such that people are willing to trade money for time.
Potential short-term responses to pricing would likely be a reduction in total travel and shifts in
travel behavior away from peak period and single occupant vehicle travel. Long-term responses
to pricing might include more compact development patterns as well. While congestion pricing
would likely improve air quality through congestion reduction, these improvements would be
mitigated by the fact that much of congestion reduction would come from trip time shifts rather
than a reduction of trips and vehicle travel. Additionally, for congestion pricing to work, there
is a need for alternative transportation modes and subsidy programs to be in place.
Professor Giuliano thinks that the most likely applications of pricing will be: higher tolls on
existing toll roads, higher gas taxes, higher parking charges, time of day tolls, some travel -based
pollution fees, freeway fees in air quality non -attainment areas, and regional taxes for owning
and operating automobiles in non -attainment areas. Professor Giuliano concludes that the equity
concerns are significant, and unless carefully designed the poor could be priced off the roads and
the rich could benefit the most from pricing; she believes that pricing programs should be
structured to mitigate the disproportionate impacts on low-income people.
In the discussion, labor strategist Eric Mann cautioned against assuming that social questions
such as transportation, land use, and air quality could examined in a value -free way. He
encouraged the participants to consider the differential impacts of air quality and transportation
strategies on people of color, women, and working people.
Joseph Brecher of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund was skeptical of the effectiveness of
current air quality planning, citing the history of implementation delays and postponements in
clean air planning since the early 1970s. The only recourse for clean air advocates, according
to Brecher, is litigation against government for non-compliance. He also stated that we need to
try all strategies regardless of the imperfect knowledge regarding their actual effectiveness.
Richard Sommerville of the San Diego Air Pollution Control District was very optimistic about
TCMs, which he thinks are the policies with the fewest risks and the broadest array of benefits
in addition to air quality.

Symposium Summary: The Transportation, Land Use, Air Quality Connection
o The failure of rail transit is no surprise given that proportionally fewer trips are made
to central business districts (CBDs) over time and the continuing increase in suburb to
suburb trips.
o Policies should use market forces to facilitate decentralization, impose congestion charges
and emission taxes, price parking, and deregulate transit.
Jane Blumenfeld from the Los Angeles Mayor's Office and Veronica Kun of the Natural
Resources Defense Council were generally supportive of Professor Newman's position on land
use and travel; both -called for more central -city, transit -oriented development. On the other
hand, Hugh Fitzpatrick from the Irvine Company discussed the planning experience in Irvine and
concluded that, even in the best of circumstances, changes in urban form do not have a positive
impact on transportation or air quality.
E. Regulatory Approaches to Making the Connections
UCLA Urban Planning Professor Donald Shoup presented research undertaken with Professor
Richard Willson of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona which uses an international
data set to estimate the impacts of subsidized employee parking on travel, congestion, and air
pollution. When employers have eliminated parking subsidies, the proportion of employees
driving to work alone has declined by between 18 and 81 percent; the reduction in the number
of cars driven to the work site ranges between 15 and 38 percent. Because most employers
subsidize employee parking costs, even in CBDs, solo commuting is subsidized and encouraged.
Additionally the federal government encourages this behavior by considering the provision of
free parking by the employer as non-taxable, while other transportation subsidies (except public
transit subsidies of $15.00 or less) are part of one's taxable income.
Professor Shoup proposes that employers should cash out free parking by offering a
transportation stipend to employees in lieu of subsidized parking; employees could then use the
stipend as they see fit, either by purchasing parking or by pocketing the money and commuting
by some other mode. He estimates that in downtown Los Angeles, employer paid parking
stimulates an additional $25 million per year in congestion costs and an additional $5 million per
year in air pollution costs.
Professor Shoup also added that we need to look closely at the parking requirements cities place
on new developments which, he believes, are frequently excessive. In some areas, city
regulations require more than half of new developments be devoted to parking. This excessive
parking encourages solo driving by reducing the user parking costs, thus subsidizing driving
alone.

Symposium Summary:
The Transportation, Land Use, Air Quality Connection
III. TYING IT ALL TOGETHER: MAJOR ISSUES, COMMON THEMES.
When San Francisco Supervisor Harry Britt took to the podium at the close of the conference,
he advised the assembled academics and analysts against ambiguity. "Elected officials don't
want ambivalence from their advisors," he warned, "we want certainty." Supervisor Britt's
address at the closing session was part of
panel o elected officials them responding to the one and
a half days of presentations and discussionPreceded
The sentiment of this closing panel -- comprised of Britt, Greg Cox from the California
Governor's Office of Planning and Research for Local Government, Judy Hathaway -Francis of
the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission, and Norton Younglove of the South Coast
Air Quality Management District -- was that more consensus was needed on the connections
between transportation, land use, and air quality. These calls for consensus were a response to
the differences of opinion in the symposium presentations and discussions. These differences
posed a particular challenge for Harvard Professor Alan Altshuler who, in the penultimate
session, was to fit all of the conference presentations into a coherent framework.
A. Fitting the Research Findings into a Policy Framework: Professor Alan Altshuler
Rather than simply summarize the conference presentations, Professor Altshuler focused on
exploring the paradigms, values, and beliefs expressed by symposium presenters and
participants.
The symposium, Altshuler judged, had confirmed Martin Wachs' opening observations that the

values and beliefs.
Policy Approaches to Cleaner Air
The discussions, Altshuler observed, had revolved around four main categories of mitigation
action:
Each of these speakers is or has been a locally elected official serving on a regional
planning body. Locally elected officials serving on regional bodies face a special
challenge in balancing regional planning needs -- such as reduced traffic congestion and
improved air quality -- with the desires of their local constituents for economic
development, convenient parking, local land use control, etc.

Symposium Summary. The Transportation, Land Use, Air Quality Connection
2. The Comprehensive Behavior Alternative approach views air pollution as just one
among many social problems to be addressed. Advocates of this approach believe that
each mitigation alternative should be evaluated in terms of all its effects, not just its
effect on air quality. And the decision about whether to adopt it should hinge on this
comprehensive evaluation.
3, The Limited Behavior Alternative approach views air quality improvement as one of
several critical aims that should guide transportation policy making. Other vues voiced
most prominently at the conference included congestion relief, greater
an
compactness, economic development, and equity in the distribution of both mobility and
financial responsibility.
For obvious reasons the supporters of these several approaches emphasize very different
questions and arrive at widely divergent policy conclusions. Consider, for example, orientations
toward transportation control measures (TCMs) (intended to reduce vehicle miles of travel), and
indirect source regulation measures (intended to generate land use patterns requiring less travel)
in the South Coast Air Quality Plan.
o Many transportation specialists favor such measures primarily for their congestion relief
potential. Allan Hendrix of Caitrans, for example, judges that technological
improvements will solve the air quality problem over the next 20 years or so, but not the
congestion problem. He considers it essential, therefore, to pursue air quality
improvement at least in part by means that also offer congestion relief.
o Advocates of technical fix options tend generally to be in the least cost, least
inconvenience camp. However, they are often willing to impose significant costs if
necessary to hasten the pace of change. Professor Sperling, for example, favors the
current California emphasis on creating a market for zero -pollution (i.e. electric) vehicles
even though it is far from clear that they represent a least cost path to meeting the Clean
Air Act standards. He views this strategy as the only viable path, however, toward a
long term "reactive organic carbon free future," which he believes as essential to
reversing global warming.
o Some of the most passionate advocates of clean air believe that any measure with
potential benefits should be adopted, regardless of cost and inconvenience, since some
measures are likely to fail and the goal of clean air is so vital.
o Finally, some believe that TCMs and indirect source reductions are absolutely necessary
if clean air goals are to be met on schedule. They emphasize that rapid growth has
wiped out half the air quality gains that technology has produced over the past two
decades, and that predominant sentiment in the region favors comparable growth over
12
Symposium Summary: The Transportation, Land Use, Air Quality Connection
relief gains may be very short-lived. BART attracted most of its patrons from buses,
carpool passengers, and those who were making new trips; but it did attract some
drivers. Within several months, however, these were largely replaced on parallel routes
by new drivers -- who had presumably foregone the trips in question before the opening
of BART for fear of encountering too much congestion. Finally, environmentalists have
long proclaimed that commuters have travel time budgets; if they can travel faster, they
will travel farther, and they are willing to incur longer trips infrequently that they may
consider unacceptable every day. It follows that a successful telecommuting strategy
might result in employees coming to work less often, but commuting from greater
distances.
5. How feasible, administratively and politically, are TCMs and ISRs? During the 1970s
politicians gradually took away from EPA the most powerful measures they had
potentially available to reduce motor vehicle travel such as gasoline rationing, tax
increases, and parking surcharges. Politicians, in general, cannot vote against the idea
of clean air; it is also true, however, that they cannot vote 4 tough enforcement
measures. Thus, the California Clean Air Act is essentially toothless when it comes to
TCMs and ISRs. Its premise is that localities and firms will put the muscle on
employees and developers. But localities and firms have little zeal to carry out this
mandate.
6. How equitable are TCMs, ISRs, and technology forcing measures like the electric vehicle
program? Regulation KV is more likely to put low -paid secretaries and factory workers
into carpools than their bosses. Growth controls may drive up housing costs, providing
windfalls to those who now own their homes but imposing heavy burdens on those who
currently rent and those who will establish households in the future (future immigrants,
children living in current households). The electric vehicle program may require cross -
subsidies by the auto manufacturers, driving up the cost of new cars. One result would
be to increase the cost of used cars. Current owners of relatively new cars in this
scenario will have the option of hanging onto them longer than they might have
otherwise, or of selling them for a higher price than they could otherwise have obtained.
Those in the market for used cars, however, who are generally less affluent, will bear
the burden of a transition to electric vehicles.
7. What do we know about the air quality effects of higher urban densities? Not a great
deal. People travel less in dense cities like New York, but air pollution heaviest in the
largest dense cities; so the residents of the most densely developed cities breathe the
heaviest concentrations of air pollution. There is little evidence, moreover, that scattered
high density development in a large sprawling region like Los Angeles produces major
travel reductions. Finally, half or more of the pollution associated with a typical trip of
10 miles is a product of the engine warming up and cooling off, independent of mileage.

implemented. In particular, presenters and other participants seemed particularly skeptical that
the TDM and ISR components of the current South Coast Air Quality Plan would be fully
implemented. This, he believes, raises an interesting question; is the current plan intended as
a literal blueprint for the future, or as a statement of aspirations and fervent hopes? The answer
at this point, he concluded, is anything but clear.
B. Major Issues, Common Themes, and Further Work
Several important debates framed the conference: The importance of air quality vis-a-vis other
social problems; the need for transportation control measures and indirect source regulations:
command -and -control versus market -based approaches; and the role of new technologies, such
as electric vehicles, in maintaining air quality in the long term.
These alternative views revealed different sets of values, different perceptions of the problem,
different approaches to planning, different sets of proposals, and different visions of the future.
Thus, despite the elected officials calls for consensus, the connections between transportation,
land use, and air quality will likely remain debated for some time to come.
At the close of the symposium, participants were asked about the key areas for further research
on the transportation. land use, air quality connection. Five areas were mentioned most
frequently by presenters, discussants, and attendees:
1. Evaluations of the effectiveness of transportation control measures (such as Regulation
XV) and indirect source regulations (such as regional jobs -housing balance programs);
2. Empirical studies of congestion pricing and market -based pricing, based on actual
practice;
3. Examinations of the effect of future demographic and economic changes on land use,
transportation, and air quality;
4. Evaluations of the economic impacts of transportation and land use policies to improve
air quality; and
5. More research on remote emissions detection and "gross polluters."
With this agenda, then, the search for the transportation, air quality, and land use connection
will continue.
