Respectfully submitted, Lisa Mobley Clerk of the Board Approved by the Budget and Implementation Committee on April 27, 2020 In Favor: 10 Abstain: 0 No: 0 6 AGENDA ITEM 5B Agenda Item 5B RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: May 13, 2020 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Analysis BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to receive and file the sales tax analysis for Quarter 3, 2019 (3Q 2019). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its December 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement with MuniServices, LLC (MuniServices), an Avenu Company, for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on additional sales tax revenues generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax) audit services. As part of the recurring contracts process in June 2018, the Commission approved a five-year extension through June 30, 2023. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only the Measure A sales tax revenues. Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices submitted audits, which reported findings and submitted to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), for review and determination of errors in sales tax reporting related to 1,111 businesses. Through 3Q 2019, the CDTFA approved 635 of these accounts for a cumulative sales tax recovery of $10,551,666. If CDTFA concurs with the error(s) for the remaining claims, the Commission will receive additional revenues; however, the magnitude of the value of the remaining findings was not available. It is important to note that while the recoveries of additional revenues will be tangible, it will not be sufficient to alter the overall trend of sales tax revenues. MuniServices provided the Commission with the Quarterly Sales Tax Digest Summary report for 3Q 2019. Most of the 3Q 2019 Measure A sales tax revenues were received in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2019, during October 2019 through December 2019, due to a lag in the sales tax calendar. The summary section of the 3Q 2019 report is attached and includes an overview of California’s economic outlook, local results, historical cash collections analysis by quarter, top 25 sales/use tax contributors, historical sales tax amounts, annual sales tax by business category, and five-year economic trend (general retail). 7 Agenda Item 5B Taxable transactions for the top 25 contributors in Riverside County generated 24.6 percent of taxable sales for the benchmark year ended 3Q 2019, slightly higher than the 23.3 percent for the benchmark year ended 3Q 2018. The top 100 tax contributors generated 39.2 percent for the benchmark year ended 3Q 2019, slightly higher than the 37.9 percent for the benchmark year ended 3Q 2018. In the Economic Category Analysis below, all six categories experienced new highs in the 3Q 2019 benchmark year to the prior eight benchmark years. % of Total / % Change RCTC State Wide Orange County San Bernardino County S.F.

For 7 of the top 10 segments (restaurants, department stores, miscellaneous retail, building materials – wholesale, apparel stores, building materials – retail, and heavy industry) during the eight benchmark year quarters, sales tax receipts reached a new high point. The segments represent 49.5 percent of the total sales tax receipts. Service stations representing 7.6 percent was higher than the last five benchmark year quarters since 3Q 2014. Auto sales – new and food markets were down slightly from 3Q 2018 due to an end for new order incentives and a warehouse club chain, included under department stores, taking away food sales from grocery retailers, respectively. The top 10 segments represent 73.1 percent of the total sales tax receipts. For the other 21 segments representing 26.9 percent of the total sales tax receipts, 11 segments representing 18.6 percent of the total sales tax receipts reached new high points in the benchmark year 3Q 2019. In the Economic Segment Analysis below, auto sales – new and department stores have been in the top three economic segments since 2014. Restaurants replaced service stations in the top three economic segments beginning in 4Q 2014. The service stations segments high occurred in 4Q 2012 and declined through 1Q 2017 due to lower fuel prices; the 3Q 2019 benchmark year quarter for service stations reflects an increase over the last five benchmark year quarters since 2Q 2014 due to higher fuel prices. 8 Agenda Item 5B RCTC State Wide Orange County San Bernardino County S.F.

Staff is not certain in which period the misallocation correction will be completed; however, the Fiscal Year 2019/20 sales tax revenues after the correction are expected to continue to reflect an increase over the FY 2018/19 revenues. Information regarding sales tax comparison by city and change in economic segments (two highest gains and two highest losses) from 3Q 2018 to 3Q 2019 is attached. Staff continues to monitor sales tax receipts and other available economic data to determine the need for any adjustments to the revenue projections. Staff will utilize the forecast scenarios with the complete report and receipt trends in assessing such projections.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update The COVID-19 State Response The California State Legislature went into suspension on March 16, 2020 after approving $1 billion in new funding in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis. The bill, which was signed by Governor Newsom on March 17, 2020, allocated up to $1 billion for a ramp-up of hospital capacity and any purpose related to the Governor’s March 4, 2020 state of emergency declaration. As of April 8, 2020, Governor Newsom has issued thirteen executive orders aimed at enhancing local government’s COVID-19 response, moratorium on evictions, relief for small businesses, ensuring safety net services continue for vulnerable Californians, and some tax relief. On March 25, 2020, RCTC Executive Director Anne Mayer, sent a letter to the Riverside County’s Legislative Delegation in support of public transit operators seeking emergency funding to offset the direct costs and revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Transit agencies in Riverside County are expected to lose approximately $15.4 million of operating funds due to the unprecedented drop in ridership and escalating operational costs. Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-40-20 Providing Relief to California Small Businesses on March 30, 2020. The order will allow small business taxpayers with annual taxable sales below $5 million to enter into a 12-month payment plan for up to $50,000 of their sales and use tax liability at zero interest. Following the signing of the Executive Order, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), which administers California's sales tax, announced sales tax returns for the 1st Quarter 2020 will now be due on July 31, 2020, an addition of three months to file returns and pay taxes. Unclear in the Executive Order and guidance from CDTFA, is if this 18 Agenda Item 5D order also includes local sales tax collection. RCTC staff is working to determine how this might impact Measure A sales tax collection and distribution. The Assembly Budget Committee released a memo on April 6, 2020 recognizing that there will be less money and time to adopt a balanced budget by the constitutionally required deadline of June 15, 2020. The memo further outlined changes to the 2020 budget process including: • The Governor’s May Revision will become a “workload” budget that reflects 2019-2020, or current, service levels. This means that new budget proposals, based on the Governor’s January 2020 budget proposal, will not be heard in Committee. Additionally, when the Assembly Budget Committee reconvenes, no new priorities will be considered from stakeholders, advocates, and Members with the exception of COVID-19 related costs, wildfire prevention, and homelessness funding. • By delaying personal income tax receipts until July 15, 2020 the Legislature will revisit the budget after it is passed in June, likely in August. This second round of budget deliberations will allow for a better picture of revenues, the state of the economy, and determine if additional COVID-19 related responses will be necessary. As of this staff report, the Legislature is expected to stay in recess until May 4, 2020, but legislative leaders in either chamber can decide to reconvene or extend the recess if necessary. It is unclear at this time what additional legislative action the Legislature will take once they return or what will happen to existing bills unrelated to COVID-19 response and recovery. RCTC staff will continue to monitor and provide an update to the Commission on legislation that will impact RCTC. Federal Update The COVID-19 Federal Response Throughout March, Congress and the Trump Administration have been working to enact emergency relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis. Three COVID-19 relief packages have been enacted to date: Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act (March 4, 2020), Families First Coronavirus Response Act (March 18, 2020), and the $2 trillion CARES Act (March 27, 2020). On March 24, 2020, RCTC Executive Director Anne Mayer, sent a letter to the Riverside County’s Congressional Delegation in support of public transit operators seeking emergency funding to offset the direct costs and revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergency relief bill, the CARES Act, included $25 billion in emergency funding for public transportation. Public transportation funding from this bill is expected to total more than $3.75 billion for California. Congress is currently considering additional coronavirus response legislation (commonly referred to as "Phase 4") that aims to build on the first three emergency relief packages. 19 Agenda Item 5D There has been interest in including funding for some form of infrastructure investment in the Phase 4 or future legislation. However, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with President Trump, have expressed interest that the next bill could include substantial investment in infrastructure projects, because of the growing substantial economic impacts of the pandemic, it appears that Phase 4 may continue to focus on emergency relief for individuals, small businesses and health care response. As discussions are taking place about what might be included in Phase 4, RCTC Chair Ben J. Benoit sent letters to the Riverside Congressional Delegation on April 7, 2020, urging bipartisan action to invest in infrastructure as a way to stimulate the economy. Three areas were identified as having immediate impact: • Direct Aid Assistance: To keep current and upcoming projects moving and jumpstart economic recovery, RCTC requests direct aid assistance that backfills lost revenue and ensure that projects and jobs are not impacted in a serious manner. • Economic Recovery Funding: Any federal economic recovery funding for surface transportation should be sub-allocated to implementing agencies such as RCTC who are responsible for getting projects delivered. • Surface Transportation Reauthorization: Complete the reauthorization of federal transportation policy prior to the expiration of the current law – the FAST Act – and ask that as part of this reauthorization, ensure that regional transportation agencies receive an increase in federal resources. RCTC staff and finance team are working to develop additional policy ideas, in alignment with the Commission adopted 2020 State and Federal Legislative Platform, that could be proposed to help address the current financial impact of the COVID-19 emergency on RCTC's finance and project plans. Congress is currently in recess until at least April 20, 2020. Congressional staff continue to work developing the Phase 4 legislation and RCTC staff will continue to monitor and provide an update to the Commission on our efforts to impact this legislation to assist RCTC.

We are grateful that Congress is working on legislation to provide initial emergency funding for transit operators and we are assessing how much of those funds will come to Riverside County. As communities wisely adhere to “safer at home” policies, transit agencies in Riverside County are expected to lose approximately $15.4 million of operating funds due to the unprecedented drop in ridership and escalating operational costs to ensure healthy and safe rides during the pandemic. Their shortfalls will depend on the duration of this crisis. ATTACHMENT 1 22 Public transportation is an essential element of our regional economy and local communities. Especially during this time of crisis, public transit is a lifeline for many of our residents who have no other option to access healthcare or employment. Public transit operators are on the front lines. Without emergency funding, public transit agencies, particularly those that rely on fare revenue for a significant portion of their operating budgets, will be required to suspend or drastically curtail such important services. While our immediate focus is on maintaining front-line public transit operations, we will also soon need to address the likely significant shortfalls in revenue for capital construction projects that provide thousands of jobs in Riverside County. As we have seen in previous economic downturns, infrastructure is a cornerstone of recovery. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions about this request, please contact Aaron Hake at (AHake@rctc.org) and David Knudsen (DKnudsen@rctc.org). Thank you Anne Mayer Executive Director CC: The Honorable Jim Beall, Chair, Senate Transportation Committee The Honorable Bob Wieckowski, Chair, Senate Budget Subcommittee on Resources, Environmental Protection, Energy and Transportation The Honorable Jim Frazier, Chair, Assembly Transportation Committee The Honorable Richard Bloom, Chair, Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Resources and Transportation Al Zelinka, City Manager, City of Riverside Doug Schulze, City Manager City of Banning George Colangeli, General Manager, Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency Jacob Ellis, City Manager, City of Corona Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer, Riverside Transit Agency Lauren Skiver, Chief Executive Officer, SunLine Transit Agency Mark Watts, Riverside County Transportation Commission Advocate Stephanie Wiggins, Chief Executive Officer, Metrolink Todd Parton, City Manager, City of Beaumont Riverside County Legislative Delegation Page 2 March 25, 2020 23 ATTACHMENT 2 24 25 April 3, 2020 The Honorable Ken Calvert United States House of Representatives U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20510 Subject: COVID-19 Economic Relief and Recovery Response Dear Congressman Calvert: On behalf of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), thank you for supporting recent legislation to provide relief to our communities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By quickly providing emergency funding to public transportation agencies through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Congress provided immediate relief and investment in public transportation that will allow transit operators to continue serving the residents of Riverside County. While the assistance to public transportation agencies was very helpful, it will be necessary to further address the negative financial impacts of the pandemic to funding sources that sustain infrastructure development and related employment in Riverside County. RCTC will experience a dramatic reduction in revenue because the very necessary “safer at home” policies have reduced economic activity in Riverside County. As a “self-help” county, our projects are heavily-reliant on voter- approved sales tax revenue, toll revenue, and development fees. The majority of RCTC’s revenues come from these local self-help sources. We also anticipate our revenues from state sources based on sales taxes and fuel consumption to decline dramatically. The anticipated magnitude of revenue loss will impact the delivery of projects that reduce traffic congestion, improve the flow of commerce, increase passenger rail connectivity, and support the jobs of countless residents of Riverside County. Many of these projects have strong support from your constituents. As Congress prepares to consider emergency relief and recovery proposals that will restore our national, state, and local economies, RCTC urges bipartisan action to invest in our nation’s infrastructure as a way to stimulate the economy. I want to share with you a few high-level concepts for future legislation that are important to maintaining and strengthening our regional infrastructure in this time of crisis. In the coming weeks, RCTC will share more specific policy proposals. Direct Aid Assistance To keep current and upcoming projects moving and jumpstart economic recovery, RCTC requests direct aid assistance that backfills lost revenue and ensure that projects and jobs are not impacted in a serious manner. RCTC remains hard at work serving our communities, our region, and our state while adhering to highest level of employee and public safety protocols. Even during this uncertain time, RCTC currently has 11 projects, in or 26 ATTACHMENT 3 beginning construction, worth $738 million. These important projects generate thousands of jobs, expand economic development, increase safety for the traveling public and move people and goods throughout our region’s transportation network. Yet, we are concerned that the drastic reduction in revenue will cause cancellation or indefinite delay of future projects, despite years of work, planning, environmental studies, public engagement, and investment of taxpayer dollars. Economic Recovery Funding Any federal economic recovery funding for surface transportation should be sub-allocated to implementing agencies such as RCTC who are responsible for getting projects delivered. The fewer layers of government through which funds must flow before getting to the construction site, the sooner the economic recovery can get underway and the public can see their tax dollars at work. In addition, we are exploring changes to federal policies and programs that would provide flexibility to RCTC and other transportation agencies to expedite current projects or planned projects without unnecessary bureaucratic delays. Please consider further emergency relief and recovery proposals that both directly funds infrastructure and improves policy to get that funding to work faster. Surface Transportation Reauthorization Finally, we ask that you do everything possible to complete the reauthorization of federal transportation policy prior to the expiration of the current law – the FAST Act – and ask that as part of this reauthorization, you ensure that regional transportation agencies receive an increase in federal resources. Ensuring a robustly funded Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG) and including specific funding for local bridge projects, such as the Hamner Bridge Widening project, are priorities for RCTC. Thank you for considering our recommendations and your historical support for infrastructure investment in Riverside County. We look forward to your leadership in this moment as we work together to get Riverside County moving again. Please contact me or RCTC staff directly to discuss any questions or ideas you have.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 grant program was established in 1975 and has been administered by Caltrans since its inception. The goal of the 5310 program is to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation services and expanding the transportation mobility options available. On July 1, 2019, Caltrans issued a call for projects for the FFYs 2017/18 and 2018/19 FTA Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program. Eligible applicants include private non-profit organizations and public agencies. Projects must be in line with the identified strategies of a local Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Coordinated Plan (Coordinated Plan). The Commission’s current Coordinated Plan was updated in December 2016. Eligible projects are classified as traditional or expanded projects. Traditional projects include vehicles and related equipment and must comprise at least 55 percent of the available funding. Expanded projects are those that exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and mobility management and comprise up to 45 percent of available funding. 33 Agenda Item 5E For large urbanized areas (UZA) in Riverside County, as shown in Table 1.1 below, approximately $3 million was available for programming for the FFYs 2017/18 and 2018/19 grant cycle. Table 1.2 below shows that for the statewide competitive funding for small urban areas such as the Hemet-San Jacinto UZA, a total of $10,170,044 was available and for rural areas a total of $4,078,151. Table 1.1 LARGE URBANIZED AREA Available Funding by UZA and Project Category Western Riverside – San Bernardino UZA Coachella Valley – Indio – Cathedral City UZA Murrieta – Temecula – Menifee UZA TOTAL FUNDS Available for Riverside County FFY 2018 $750,354 $403,589 $321,731 $1,475,674 FFY 2019 $769,915 $412,979 $335,170 $1,518,064 Two-Year Funding Available $1,520,269 $816,568 $656,901 $2,993,738 Table 1.2 SMALL URBAN AND RURAL (STATEWIDE) Available Funding by UZA and Project Category Statewide Small Urban (Hemet-San Jacinto Eligible) Statewide Rural Areas (All Non-Urban Areas Eligible) FFY 2018 & FFY 2019 Two-Year Funding Available $10,170,044 4,078,151 FTA guidelines allow 5310 program funds to be used to provide up to 80 percent federal share of capital costs and require at least 20 percent in local match. For operating costs, federal funds can be awarded up to 50 percent. However, for this FFYs 2017/18 and 2018/19 funding cycle, as in the past three funding cycles, agencies will receive 100 percent project funding in 5310 funds with the usage of California state toll credits as local matching funds. Toll credits are a funding tool that can be utilized by states as a means of meeting local and state matching requirements for federal funding. State credits are accrued when capital investments are made in federally approved tolled facilities including toll roads and bridges. Caltrans was responsible for administering and selecting projects for both the small urban and rural and large urbanized areas in Riverside County; however, Commission staff also reviewed and evaluated traditional project applications in the county. A total of 14 agencies within Riverside County submitted grant applications requesting $5,359,392 for 46 projects that include 21 replacement vehicles, 13 expansion vehicles, 2 computer hardware/software, 8 operating projects, and 2 mobility management projects. Caltrans’ recommendations were approved and awarded by the California Transportation Commission on March 26, 2020. As required by the program, staff recommends that the Commission adopt Resolution No. 20-007 to certify that the projects were derived from a locally developed Coordinated Plan. Additionally, staff will submit the projects to the Southern California Association of Government for inclusion into the FTIP for programming and obligation of funds. 34 Agenda Item 5E There is no financial impact to the Commission, as Caltrans disburses the Section 5310 funds directly to the recipients.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission’s Commuter Rail Program applies for various federal and state funds that are necessary to fund rail projects within Riverside County. There is also the need for grants to meet the Commission’s annual funding responsibility related to rail operations and capital projects. The Commuter Rail Program is currently seeking approval to obtain Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) grant funding which is available through the California Department of Transportation. Projects eligible for this program need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support transit agencies in their effort to increase mode share. The Rail Program is seeking operation funding for the newly extended Perris Valley Line (PVL) commuter rail service. Funding for this grant is formula based. The application is for funding allocated to the Commission in the amount of $1,081,302. As required by the LCTOP grant guidelines, Resolution No. 20-006 is needed to authorize use of the funds on PVL operations and authorize the Executive Director to execute the Certifications, Assurances, and Authorized Agent forms. The resolution is required to submit and file the grant; therefore, staff recommends approval of the resolution related to the FY 2019/20 LCTOP grant. Funding received from this grant will be included in the FY 2020/21 budget and will be reflected in the Commission’s FY 2020/21 Short Range Transit Plan. 47 Agenda Item 5F Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: N/A Year: FY 2020/21 Amount: $1,081,302 Source of Funds: LCTOP Budget Adjustment: N/A GL/Project Accounting No.: 034198 415 41511 0000 103 25 41501 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 04/10/2020 Attachment: Resolution No. 20-006 Approved by the Budget and Implementation Committee on April 27, 2020 In Favor: 10 Abstain: 0 No: 0 48 RESOLUTION NO. 20-006 RESOLUTION OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION REGARDING AUTHORIZATION FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES AND AUTHORIZED AGENT FORMS FOR THE LOW CARBON TRANSIT OPERATIONS PROGRAM FOR THE EXPANDED PERRIS VALLEY LINE OPERATIONS FY 21 PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,081,302 WHEREAS, the Riverside County Transportation Commission is an eligible project sponsor and may receive state funding from the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) for transit projects; and WHEREAS, the statutes related to state-funded transit projects require a local or regional implementing agency to abide by various regulations; and WHEREAS, Senate Bill 862 (2014) named the California Department of Transportation (Department) as the administrative agency for the LCTOP; and WHEREAS, the Department has developed guidelines for the purpose of administering and distributing LCTOP funds to eligible project sponsors (local agencies); and WHEREAS, the Riverside County Transportation Commission wishes to delegate authorization to execute these documents and any amendments thereto to Anne Mayer, Executive Director; and WHEREAS, the Riverside County Transportation Commission wishes to implement the following LCTOP project listed above, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Riverside County Transportation Commission that the fund recipient agrees to comply with all conditions and requirements set forth in the Certification and Assurances and the Authorized Agent documents and applicable statutes, regulations and guidelines for all LCTOP funded transit projects.

Ben J Benoit, Chair Riverside County Transportation Commission ATTEST: Lisa Mobley, Clerk of the Board Riverside County Transportation Commission 50 AGENDA ITEM 5G Agenda Item 5G RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: May 13, 2020 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Ariel Alcon Tapia, Management Analyst Eric DeHate, Transit Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Citizens and Specialized Transit Advisory Council Membership Appointments BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to approve the appointments of 15 members to the Citizens and Specialized Transit Advisory Council (CSTAC) effective May 13, 2020. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides direction for administering both Local Transportation Fund and State Transit Assistance funds, which are used to support operational and capital expenditures for public transit. Section 99238 and 130105 (d) of the TDA regulations requires the Commission to have a CSTAC as part of the oversight process in administering the TDA funds. The CSTAC serves the Commission by participating in the transit needs hearing and reviewing the Short-Range Transit Plans (SRTP) developed by public transit operators as part of the Commission’s annual budget development process. The TDA regulations require that the membership consist of the following categorical areas: 1) One representative of a potential transit user 60 years of age and older; 2) One representative of a potential transit user who is disabled; 3) Two representatives of the social service providers for seniors; 4) Two representatives of the social service providers for the disabled, including one representative of a social service transportation provider, if one exists; 5) One representative of a social service provider for persons of limited means; and 6) Two representatives of a Consolidated Transportation Service Agency(s) designated as such pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 15975 of the Government Code, including one representative from an operator, if one exists. Membership terms are to be staggered to reduce the likeliness of membership relapse causing a lack of quorum. The adopted bylaws for the CSTAC state that membership can consist of up to 15 members appointed by the Commission and serve at the will and pleasure of the Commission and without compensation. 51 Agenda Item 5G DISCUSSION: In December 2019, the revised CSTAC bylaws were approved to garner more active participation and staff was directed to recruit new members. Membership is required to reflect a broad spectrum of interest among geographic areas of the county and minority representation. An application period took place between January 23, 2020 through March 13, 2020. Various outreach methods were used to solicit membership: • Commissioner recommendations; • Solicitation to existing and previous CAC members and their networks; • Advertisement on the website, social media, and The Point blog article; • Email distributions to the Riverside Transportation Network and Specialized Transit providers, and Transportation NOW chapters; • Personalized emails and calls to universities and colleges transportation and student disabilities services departments; and • Press release A total of 17 applications were received and reviewed. Staff recommends the appointment of 15 individuals and their associated organizations, as identified in the attachment, for membership on the CSTAC. RTA and SunLine are standing members due to their Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) designation and are included as part of the 15. Each appointment would represent at least one of the categories identified in state law and several communities throughout the county in order to provide a perspective from a wide geographic area. Citizen appointments are critical to the success of the Commission and its charge to oversee transit services in the county. The new membership opens dialogue between citizen appointee representatives and public transit and specialized transit providers in the county. Upon Commission direction and approval, additional members representing relevant TDA constituencies can be added to the CSTAC membership in the future. There is no financial impact for this item.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its May 2018 meeting, the Commission authorized all project development activities needed to complete environmental approvals and final design for the 91 COP and to return in fall 2018 with a recommendation regarding the construction. In December 2018, the Commission authorized implementation of the construction phase of the 91 COP after completing environmental and design approvals. The subject of this staff report is the award of the construction management services agreement in anticipation of a construction contract award later this year. The 91 COP will add a 2-mile long general purpose lane in the westbound direction on SR-91 from Green River Road westbound on-ramp to SR-241. A detailed vicinity map of the 91 COP is provided as Attachment 1. The 91 COP involves: 54 Agenda Item 6 1) Adding approximately 9 to 10 feet of outside pavement widening to SR-91 at some locations and restriping in others; 2) Widening the County Line Creek Undercrossing; 3) Constructing new retaining walls approximately 3,200 feet in length and approximately 6 to 28 feet in height on the north side of SR-91; 4) Reconstructing a portion of Green River Road; 5) Replacing overhead signs; and 6) Adding high mast lighting on the north side of the outside barrier. DISCUSSION: Procurement Process Pursuant to Government Code 4525 et seq, selection of architect, engineer, and related services shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. Therefore, staff used the qualification method of selection for the procurement of construction management services, materials testing, and construction surveying for the 91 COP. Evaluation criteria included elements such as qualifications of firm, staffing and project organization, project understanding and approach, and the ability to respond to the requirements set forth under the terms of a request for qualifications (RFQ). RFQ No. 20-31-033-00 for construction management services, materials testing, and construction surveying for the 91 COP was released by staff on December 12, 2019. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and the RFQ was posted on the Commission’s Planet Bids website, which is accessible through the Commission’s website. Through Planet Bids, 70 firms downloaded the RFQ; 15 of these firms are located in Riverside County. A pre-submittal meeting was held on December 19 and attended by 16 firms. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the January 9 clarification deadline date. Four firms – Anser Advisory, LLC (San Diego); Falcon Engineering Services, Inc. (Corona); Hill International, Inc. (Ontario); and S2 Engineering, Inc. (Rancho Cucamonga) – submitted responsive and responsible statements of qualifications prior to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on January 23. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFQ, the firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission, Bechtel, and Caltrans staff. Based on the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written proposals and pursuant to the terms of the RFQ, the evaluation committee shortlisted and invited three firms (Anser Advisory, LLC; Falcon Engineering Services, Inc.; and Hill International, Inc.) to the interview phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews were conducted on February 27. Following the interviews, the evaluation committee conducted a subsequent evaluation of each firm, based on both written and interview components presented to the evaluation committee by each proposer. Accordingly, the evaluation committee recommends contract award to Falcon 55 Agenda Item 6 Engineering Services, Inc. to provide construction management services, materials testing, and construction surveying for the 91 COP, as it earned the highest total evaluation score. Subsequently, staff negotiated the scope of work (including the appropriate level of effort, labor categories/mix, etc.), cost, and schedule proposal received from Falcon Engineering Services, Inc. for the 91 COP services and established a fair and reasonable price. Staff recommends award of Agreement No. 20-31-033-00 with Falcon Engineering Services, Inc. to perform construction management services, materials testing, and construction surveying for the 91 COP, based on the final negotiated project scope and cost of $4,456,957, plus a contingency amount of $445,695, for a total amount not to exceed $4,902,652. Staff also recommends authorizing the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to finalize and execute the agreement and the Executive Director or designee to approve the use of the contingency amount as may be required for the 91 COP. Funding for Construction Management At its May 2018 meeting, the Commission authorized execution of all necessary agency agreements to implement the 91 COP including cooperative and funding agreements. Staff is currently working on an agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) which includes a funding allocation of $15 million from OCTA to the 91 COP. Said agreement permits the OCTA funding to be utilized for the construction management contract (the subject of this staff report) and is expected to be approved by the OCTA board on April 27, 2020. Funding for Construction Support Expenditures In addition to the construction management contract, funding is needed for other construction support expenditures. This includes staff and Bechtel management, design support during construction from Parsons, utility relocation costs, Construction Zone Enhanced Enforcement Program or COZEEP, construction Freeway Service Patrol, public outreach, and other support activities. Surplus toll revenue is the RCTC 91 Express Lanes toll revenue remaining after all other financial obligations have been met. These financial obligations include annual operation and maintenance, debt service, reserve funds, and other obligations. The Commission’s authorizing legislation, SB 1316, requires that all surplus revenue be spent for transportation purposes within the SR-91 corridor. Staff projects that sufficient surplus funds are available to fund the construction support expenditures for the 91 COP. Therefore, staff recommends the use of RCTC 91 Express Lanes surplus toll revenue to fund the construction support expenditures in the amount of $2 million. 56 Agenda Item 6 Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes N/A Year: FY 2019/20 FY 2020/21+ Amount: $ 600,000 $6,302,652 Source of Funds: OCTA contribution and RCTC 91 Express Lanes Surplus Toll Revenue Budget Adjustment: No N/A GLA No.: 623046 81302 00000 0000 262 31 81301 $4,902,652 (construction management) 623046 XXXXX 00000 0000 262 31 XXXXX $2,000,000 (construction support) Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 04/10/2020 Attachments: 1) 91 Corridor Operations Project Vicinity Map 2) Draft Agreement No. 20-31-033-00 with Falcon Engineering Services, Inc. 57 91 91 Project Vicinity C O U N T Y RIVE RSIDE C O U N T Y RIVE RSIDE EA: 08-0F544 CORRIDOR OPERATIONS PROJECT SR-91 08-RIV SR-91 PM 0.00 12-ORA SR-91 PM 18.88 241 71 SR-91 PM 17.36 BEGIN CONSTRUCTION SR-91 PM 0.54 END CONSTRUCTION BRIDGE WIDENING COUNTY LINE CREEK C O U N T Y O R A N G E C O U N T Y O R A N G E CANYON COAL CANYONCOAL S AN T A ANA R IV E R S AN T A ANA R IV E R GOLF CLUB GREEN RIVER GOLF CLUB GREEN RIVER LIART REVIR ANA ATNAS LIART REVIR ANA ATNAS GYPSUM CANYON RdGYPSUM CANYON RdGREEN RIVER Rd GREEN RIVER Rd DAM PRADO DAM PRADO WIDENING SR-91 WIDENING SR-91 ATTACHMENT 1 58 AGREEMENT NO. 20-31-033-00 MODEL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AGREEMENT WITH FALCON ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC.

AGENDA ITEM 7 Agenda Item 7 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: May 13, 2020 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Revised Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021 Revenue Projections for Measure A, Local Transportation Fund, and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve the revised mid-year Fiscal Year 2019/20 revenue projections of $178 million for 2009 Measure A (Measure A) revenues, $91 million for Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenues and $16 million for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues; 2) Approve the revised FY 2020/21 revenue projections of $160 million for Measure A revenues, $82 million for LTF revenues, and $11 million for TUMF revenues; 3) Approve the budget decrease adjustments to Measure A revenues of $24 million and expenditures of $9.91 million to reflect the revised FY 2019/20 Measure A projection; 4) Approve the budget decrease adjustments to LTF revenues of $12 million, transfers in of $360,000, and expenditures and transfers out of $450,000 to reflect the revised FY 2019/20 LTF projection; and 5) Approve the budget decrease adjustments to TUMF revenues of $11 million to reflect the revised FY 2019/20 TUMF projection. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its January meeting, the Commission approved the mid-year FY 2019/20 and the FY 2020/21 revenue projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues. Subsequently in March, the federal government as well as California’s Governor Newsom issued emergency declarations related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, on March 19, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-33-20, a stay at home order to protect the health and well-being of all Californians and to establish consistency across the state in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. The County of Riverside also issued a directive to county residents supporting the Governor’s executive order. 90 Agenda Item 7 COVID-19 and the related “stay at home” orders have negatively impacted the local, regional, state, and federal economies; the magnitude and duration of these impacts is uncertain. Nonetheless, Commission staff determined that it was critical to reassess the FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 revenue projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF to establish more realistic projections and expectations for the Commission’s FY 2020/21 budget and impacts on local jurisdictions. DISCUSSION: Measure A Sales Tax Revenues Measure A is the local half-cent transactions and use tax approved by Riverside County voters in November 2002. Measure A funds fund highway, regional arterial, local streets and roads, new corridors, economic development, bond financing, bus transit, commuter rail, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation projects in the three geographic areas of Riverside County, as defined in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. For the Measure A sales tax revenues, management analyzed each economic category (general retail, food products, transportation, construction, business to business, and miscellaneous) and underlying economic segments that generate Measure A sales tax. Management then estimated a percent change in each segment. For example, management estimated a 100 percent decrease in new and used auto sales (transportation); however, management estimated no change in food markets (food products category). The anticipated benefit of the Wayfair decision and implementation of internet sales taxes slightly offset the projected changes in Measure A sales tax revenues due to COVID-19. Management used the most recent benchmark year information from Q3 2019 (separate staff report at this meeting) to estimate a one-month net reduction in Measure A sales tax revenues. Management then applied the estimated monthly reduction to the last four months of FY 2019/20 and the first eight months of FY 2020/21. This reflects a conservative assumption that the COVID-19 impacts extend for a 12-month or one-year period. As a result of this analysis, management projects a significant decrease in the revised FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 Measure A revenues, as follows: Measure A Projection FY 2019/20 FY 2020/21 Original $ 193,000,000 $ 207,000,000 Mid-year 202,000,000 N/A Revised 178,000,000 160,000,000 Decrease ($) 24,000,000 47,000,000 Decrease (%) 12% 22% 91 Agenda Item 7 LTF Sales Tax Revenues LTF sales tax revenues represent a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax and primarily fund transit requirements within the county in addition to planning and administration activities and bicycle and pedestrian projects. These revenues approximate 51 percent of Measure A sales tax revenues; management applied this percentage to the Measure A net reductions for the same period. Accordingly, management projects a significant decrease in the revised FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 LTF revenues, as follows: LTF Projection FY 2019/20 FY 2020/21 Original $ 97,000,000 $ 106,000,000 Mid-year 103,000,000 N/A Revised 91,000,000 82,000,000 Decrease ($) 12,000,000 24,000,000 Decrease (%) 12% 23% TUMF Revenues TUMF revenues represent the Commission’s share of revenues generated from a development fee program administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments. Local Western County jurisdictions collect fees charged to ensure new development pays for the new transportation facilities needed to accommodate growth. For TUMF revenues, management analyzed TUMF revenues for the first six months of FY 2019/20 and determined an average monthly TUMF revenue amount. The analysis showed a 14 percent decrease in TUMF revenues for the first half of FY 2019/20 compared to the same period for FY 2018/19. Additionally, actual revenues were tracking below the FY 2019/20 projections. Management assumed that TUMF revenues for the last four months of FY 2019/20 and the first eight months of FY 2020/21 would decrease to approximately 10 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of the average monthly TUMF revenue amount. This analysis resulted in the following revised FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 TUMF revenues: TUMF Projection FY 2019/20 FY 2020/21 Original $ 25,000,000 $ 28,000,000 Mid-year 27,000,000 N/A Revised 16,000,000 11,000,000 Decrease ($) 11,000,000 17,000,000 Decrease (%) 41% 61% 92 Agenda Item 7 NEXT STEPS: In recent weeks, the Governor issued additional executive orders that impact the collection of sales tax revenues. Management has not determined the impact, if any, of these orders on the revised Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues. However, staff will continue to monitor FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 sales tax revenues to determine if any required adjustments to the revenue projections. Management recommends the Commission approve the revised revenue projections for FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21. Additionally, management recommends the following FY 2019/20 budget adjustments related to the revised FY 2019/20 revenue projections: • Measure A: $24 million decrease in revenues and related direct effect decreases of $7,331,000 and $2,579,000 on local streets and roads program and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterial expenditures, respectively; • LTF: $12 million decrease in revenues and related direct effect decreases of $360,000 and $90,000 on Commission and Southern California Association of Governments planning allocations, respectively; and • TUMF: $11 million decrease in revenues. While the revised FY 2019/20 revenue projections reflect significant decreases in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 impact, sufficient Measure A, LTF, and TUMF reserves are available to fund budgeted expenditures. However, even greater decreases anticipated in FY 2020/21 revenues may impact Commission programs and projects. Accordingly, staff requires additional time for the development of the FY 2020/21 budget. Staff anticipates that the FY 2020/21 budget will be presented at the June Commission meeting for a public hearing and adoption rather than a preliminary budget in May and final budget in June as in past years. While the FY 2020/21 budget will reflect the best available information at the time of adoption, management anticipates the need for subsequent budget adjustments throughout the year as the economic impacts of COVID-19 become clearer. Upon Commission approval of these revised revenue projections and related FY 2019/20 budget adjustments, staff will continue the development of the FY 2020/21 budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The proposed final Traffic Relief Plan represents the vision, values, and long-term transportation priorities of Riverside County residents, leaders, and community stakeholders. The Traffic Relief Plan contains: • A roadmap for expenditure of $8.8 billion in potential future funding; • Policies to ensure equity and balance of investments; • Accountability requirements; and • Locally-driven implementation in each of Riverside County’s distinct subregions The Commission approved the draft Traffic Relief Plan on January 8, 2020. The Commission’s Traffic Relief Strategy Committee developed the draft plan between September and December 2019. The Committee thoroughly vetted the contents of the draft plan in public meetings and recommended each element of the plan to the Commission for approval. The draft plan was presented to the residents of Riverside County through a comprehensive Commission-approved public engagement program. The public engagement activities resulted in significant response, which is documented in Attachment 2. The final Traffic Relief Plan contains several changes based upon public input and recommendations from legal counsel. In summary, those changes are: • Two projects added in Western Riverside County – The final plan adds the I-10/Main Street interchange in Cabazon and Limonite Avenue Gap Closure based on input from the Morongo Band of Mission Indians and the city of Eastvale, respectively; 100 Agenda Item 8 • Palo Verde Valley plan amended – At the request of the city of Blythe, the plan now covers I-10 interchanges and gateway enhancement projects and directs all funds generated through the plan in the Palo Verde Valley to the city of Blythe and County of Riverside, consistent with Measure A. Transit remains an eligible expenditure; • New Technology flexibility clarified – Many members of the public commented that the New Technology expenditure category was vague and needed more detail. The Committee and Commission have previously expressed a desire to remain adaptable to yet-unknown advances in technology. Language was added to convey this intent; • Language modified – Legal counsel amended language throughout the plan to ensure the document is suitable to be placed on the ballot in the future, if the Commission so chooses; and • Compliance with state laws and regulations emphasized – The final plan makes clear that it is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) – a similar statement is made in this staff report below. Additionally, a portion of the funds generated through the plan will be devoted to satisfying the requirements of SB 743, state law requiring particular analysis and mitigation of project impacts, and implementing regulations. An additional expenditure category was created in the plan to highlight this expenditure type. The plan’s new language on mitigation of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) also provides a policy foundation for the Commission to begin addressing VMT as necessary. Qualitative results from the survey offered at trafficreliefplan.org demonstrate a clear majority support for the plan overall, as well as for each of the proposed expenditure categories. Public sentiment data gathered through social media also demonstrates net public support for the plan. Public input collected since the Commission approved the draft Traffic Relief Plan in January is consistent with results of the #RebootMyCommute initiative in 2019 and prior quantitative surveys. Staff halted a final, statistically relevant, quantitative survey due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Commission’s action on April 8, 2020 to decline to place the plan on the November 2020 ballot. Based on all quantitative and qualitative research conducted to date on public opinion in Riverside County, staff is confident that the proposed final Traffic Relief Plan enjoys support from well more than a majority of residents. The Traffic Relief Plan has independent utility as an aspirational planning document supported by grassroots public input. The Commission can use the Traffic Relief Plan as a reference point for future decisions. The projects and services within the plan are unlikely to be delivered without a funding source. Measure A remains the Commission’s most significant funding source and is tied to specific projects and programs approved by Riverside County voters in 2002. Facts demonstrate that Measure A revenue and status quo funding from state, federal, toll, and development fee programs will not be sufficient to deliver all projects in the Measure A expenditure plan before Measure A sunsets, let alone the additional projects in the Traffic Relief Plan. The Traffic Relief Plan fulfills the objectives of the Commission-adopted 2016 RCTC Strategic Assessment and meets the requirements of Public Utilities Code Section 240302. 101 Agenda Item 8 Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act This Traffic Relief Plan is not a “project” under the CEQA and, alternatively, is exempt from CEQA review. This is because the Traffic Relief Plan is intended to provide a funding mechanism for potential future projects and programs related to the Commission’s provision of transportation services. However, the Commission is not approving the construction of any projects or programs that may result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment; future voter approval is required prior to the establishment of any funding mechanism as set forth in Public Utilities Code Section 240301; and all appropriate state and federal environmental review will be required and completed prior to any future approval of specific transportation projects and programs.

Your plan. The Traffic Relief Plan is a local strategy to reduce traffic bottlenecks, improve safety, and help create a stronger, more sustainable economy for our communities. You and thousands of your neighbors expressed your thoughts about this plan and how you want to improve transportation in Riverside County. From freeways that move faster, to more frequent trains, and specific local streets that need upgrades, you told us that these improvements will make a difference to your life. You also told us that creating more jobs in Riverside County can help solve these transportation issues. We’ve listened. Highlights of the Traffic Relief Plan include: • Improving freeway traffic flow on I-10, I-15, the 60, 91, and I-215 by adding lanes, upgrading on- and off-ramps and bridges, and increasing bus and Metrolink frequencies. • Improving traffic flow and safety on major roads such as Alessandro Boulevard, Bob Hope Drive, Bundy Canyon Road, Clinton Keith Road, Cook Street, Fred Waring Drive, Heacock Street, Highway 111, Indian Canyon Drive, Keller Road, Limonite Avenue, Monroe Street, Redlands Boulevard, Sun Lake Boulevard, Temescal Canyon Road, and Van Buren Boulevard. • Safety improvements on highly-traveled two-lane roads such as Gilman Springs Road and Grand Avenue and at intersections with railroad tracks. • Safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists including for children going to and from school. • Increasing frequency of Metrolink train service by adding new tracks and more trains, and making existing train service more sustainable over the long-term. • Improving the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley by accelerating completion of a new east-west highway called the Mid County Parkway and a new Route 79, and extending Metrolink service to Hemet and San Jacinto. • Increasing frequency and convenience of express bus services throughout Riverside County, enabling more commuters to use alternatives to driving, complete with wi-fi enabled buses. • Improving the condition of existing roads by providing funds to local governments for basic pothole repairs, paving of dirt roads, and synchronizing signals. • Providing more independence and opportunity for residents who rely on public transportation services, such as veterans, individuals with disabilities, students, and residents of rural communities. • Using new technologies that can improve the efficiency and safety of the current roadway and public transit systems, paving the way for connected and autonomous vehicles. • Completing the regional trail system in Riverside County to improve safe routes to school, and offer bicycle commuting for those who would take their cars off the road at commute times. • Constructing rail stations in the Coachella Valley and San Gorgonio Pass to prepare for daily train service to the desert from L.A. via Riverside and Orange County. OVERVIEW OF THE TRAFFIC RELIEF PLAN 1 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Voter Approval: This Traffic Relief Plan was drafted to serve as an expenditure plan for a possible voter-approved RCTC sales tax measure. Until a sales tax measure to fund the plan is placed before the voters and approved, the plan is aspirational and the financial and other mandatory requirements of the plan are not operative. 105 The Traffic Relief Plan represents a change in the thinking of the past by: • Encouraging more local employment. Incentives are created for cities to plan for local job-creation and the infrastructure to support those new jobs so residents can have careers closer to home. • Addressing the toughest bottlenecks and traffic problems. Speeding up how quickly new lanes and public transit options can be implemented where traffic is the worst and funding is not otherwise available. • Connecting our own county. The Traffic Relief Plan prioritizes modernizing the transportation system within Riverside County. • Providing small, rural, and underserved communities with necessary infrastructure. • Implementing new technology that can increase efficiency of existing infrastructure, increase convenience of public transportation, and prepare for autonomous and connected vehicles. • All funds will stay local. Coachella Valley funds stay in the Coachella Valley. Western Riverside County funds stay in Western Riverside County. Palo Verde Valley (Blythe) funds stay in Palo Verde Valley. Sacramento and D.C. cannot take these locally-controlled funds. • More funds to speed up projects. Many transportation improvements that Riverside County residents have said they want are decades away. The Traffic Relief Plan would provide funding to speed up completion of these projects. • Local leaders representing every city and unincorporated community in Riverside County will oversee implementation of the Traffic Relief Plan. These leaders serve on the board of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), which is the legally responsible public entity for regional transportation planning and funding in Riverside County. To ensure local control in the Coachella Valley, RCTC will delegate implementation of the Traffic Relief Plan to the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). The Blythe City Council and County Board of Supervisors will implement the Traffic Relief Plan in the Palo Verde Valley. • Independent financial audits are required and must be disclosed to the public to ensure that the Traffic Relief Plan is being implemented lawfully and in accordance with the will of voters. • No more than 1% of net revenues generated by the Traffic Relief Plan will be used for administrative salaries and benefits to administer the entire Plan. OVERVIEW OF THE TRAFFIC RELIEF PLAN 2Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Questions? If you have questions about the Traffic Relief Plan, please contact the Riverside County Transportation Commission at info@rctc.org or 951-787-7141. 106 Independent Audits Required Upon voter approval of a revenue source for the Plan, no less than annually, RCTC will obtain an independent fiscal audit of the expenditure of all funds raised through the Plan. The audit will determine compliance with requirements of the Plan and its governing Ordinance. The audit will be published on the internet. Efficiency and Local Control Local Voice. Local Control. Riverside County voters will enact the Plan, which will then be implemented through their locally elected representatives and local public works professionals. By law, the Plan is implemented by RCTC, which is governed by local city council members or mayors of every city and all five members of the County Board of Supervisors. No Money Diverted to Sacramento and Washington. State and federal governments cannot legally divert, take, or direct funds raised through this local Plan and its governing ordinance. Fiscal Accountability and Efficiency. Administrative salaries and benefits to administer the Plan are limited to no more than 1% of net revenues generated under the Plan’s governing ordinance. Implementation of this Plan will not require the creation of any new government entity. To achieve efficiency and local control, RCTC may delegate appropriate responsibilities for administering components of the Plan to existing local governments at its discretion. Transparency and Openness Implementation of the Plan will occur in compliance with all transparency, disclosure, and open meetings laws. Mandatory Plan Review and Updates Through a public process, RCTC must formally review this Plan at least every 10 years after it takes effect to ensure the Plan reflects the current and anticipated future needs of Riverside County’s residents. If RCTC wishes to amend the Plan after its review or at any other point in time, RCTC must follow current state law and this Plan’s voter-approved governing ordinance to do so. Innovation and Partnership To reduce the burden on taxpayers to fully fund the transportation needs of Riverside County, there are opportunities to partner with the private sector to offset costs, generate revenue to pay for public services and projects, or increase the efficiency of existing infrastructure. Where the law allows and adequate public benefits can be demonstrated, RCTC may use Plan funds to partner with non-governmental entities on projects, services, and technologies. Examples of potential partnerships include, but are not limited to, joint development of rail stations, leasing of RCTC property, ride-sharing and alternative transportation services, construction of rail tracks on private rights of way, and partnering on advanced roadway and vehicle technologies that improve traffic flow or reduce emissions. Flexibility to Expedite Projects To expedite priority projects and services, reduce costs to taxpayers, or avoid loss of other funding, RCTC may make maximum use of funds by temporarily shifting funds between transportation purposes. In borrowing and making loans, the proportionate shares for areas and purposes over the duration of the Plan may not be changed without an amendment of the Plan as required by law. RCTC may issue bonds or other debt against future revenue to achieve any objectives of the Plan. RCTC will issue bonds or other debt in accordance with applicable laws. The issuances of bonds or other debt will be limited by a threshold adopted by RCTC in a public meeting compliant with open meetings laws. ACCOUNTABILITY TO TAXPAYERS 3 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 107 Equity among Regions and Residents Many residents of Riverside County live in areas that lack infrastructure and public transportation services. A growing number of residents face increasing traffic congestion. Therefore, the Traffic Relief Plan commits to providing equity for Riverside County residents in the following ways: Geography The Plan recognizes the three distinct subregions of Riverside County and ensures that revenues raised by the Plan in each subregion remain there and cannot be moved to other parts of the county: • Coachella Valley • Palo Verde Valley (Blythe area) • Western Riverside County (Riverside and Corona areas, Moreno Valley and Perris areas, Hemet-San Jacinto Valley, San Gorgonio Pass, and Temecula-Murrieta-Lake Elsinore areas) Small, Rural, Underserved Communities Decisions based on needs. Priority for investments in areas requiring significant infrastructure repairs and upgrades will be determined based on objective needs. Maintenance of local roads. All communities will have access to new funding to keep local streets and roads in good condition. Increased options for residents. The Traffic Relief Plan places significant focus on seniors, students, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and residents of rural and underserved communities who use public transportation regularly. Balanced Transportation System The Traffic Relief Plan recognizes all types of transportation needs for Riverside County. Proactively addressing the transportation issues in Riverside County requires a flexible and all-of-the-above approach. Mitigation of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) The Traffic Relief Plan makes significant improvements to the roadway network in Riverside County through adding lanes and improving efficiency through technology. Recent laws and regulations governing implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for transportation projects require mitigation for any increases to the amount of miles driven by automobiles (referred to as “vehicle miles traveled” or “VMT”). Practically, obtaining state approvals of projects that increase the number of lanes on roads and highways will be very difficult without mitigating increases in VMT resulting from those projects. Mitigation of increased VMT for major transportation projects under state CEQA law can take many forms, including but not limited to: • Public transportation, • Commuting strategies such as ride-sharing, telecommuting, alternative schedules, • Creating employment in Riverside County to reduce commute distances, • Habitat and open space preservation, and • New technologies. EQUITY AND BALANCE 4Traffic Relief Plan 2020 108 EQUITY AND BALANCE 5 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act The Traffic Relief Plan is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act and, therefore, is exempt from CEQA review. This is because the Plan is designed to provide a funding mechanism for potential future projects and programs related to the Commission’s provision of transportation services. However, the Commission is not approving the construction of any projects that may result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment; future voter approval is required prior to establishing any funding mechanism as set forth in Public Utilities Code Section 240301; and all appropriate state and federal environmental review will be required and completed prior to any future approval of specific projects. 109 Investment Types The Plan includes nine investment types. In the Coachella Valley, all investment types are funded through the valleywide Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS). In Western Riverside County, a specific percentage of funding is reserved for each investment type, with several sub-types. In the Palo Verde Valley (Blythe), funds can be used on any investment type below. Roads – Widening and extending major roadways for traffic flow and safety; repairing potholes and repaving roads; adding stop signs, signals and other safety features; retrofitting bridges; coordinating traffic signal timing on major streets; adding crosswalks, sidewalks and signage for pedestrians, especially for students traveling to and from school; and separating streets from railroad tracks Highways – Adding lanes to the 91, 60, Interstate 15, and Interstate 215, improving traffic flow on Highway 111 and Interstate 10 in the Coachella Valley, and constructing the Mid County Parkway and a new Route 79 Highway Access – Building and improving interchanges, bridges, on-ramps and off-ramps with interstates and state routes Trains – Increasing frequency and safety of Metrolink trains; building new tracks, parking and stations; extending service from Perris to Hemet and San Jacinto, and building stations in the San Gorgonio Pass and Coachella Valley to support daily passenger service between L.A. and the Coachella Valley; sustaining operation of rail service throughout the county Buses – Expanding express/rapid bus service options; modernizing and adding zero-emission buses; providing targeted transit services and keeping bus fares low for seniors, veterans, students and individuals with disabilities; upgrading bus stops and amenities; and improving connections between home, transit and workplaces Commuter Assistance – Expanding Freeway Service Patrol roadside assistance and maintaining and expanding carpool/vanpool service and Park & Ride Lots Trails – Expanding and improving access to hiking, cycling, and walking/running by completing Riverside County’s master-planned regional trail system to improve safe routes to school, and offer safe bicycle commuting for those who would take their cars off the road at commute times New Technology – Using innovation and new technology to improve traffic flow, provide better information to travelers, improve movement of commerce and support local and regional economic development Flood and Dust Control – Reinforcing roadways and infrastructure against natural hazards in the Coachella Valley TRAFFIC RELIEF PLAN: YOUR GUIDE TO PROJECTS & SERVICES 6Traffic Relief Plan 2020 110 RanchoMirage Palm Springs PalmDesert IndianWells La Quinta Indio DesertHot Springs Coachella CathedralCity Hemet BeaumontBanning Ramon Rd Var n e r R d Fred Waring Dr Country Club Dr Dinah Shore Dr Dillon Rd Vista Chino Ge n e A u t r y T r a i l E Palm C a n y o n D r Avenue 54 Avenue 48 Avenue 50 Washington StCook StPortola AveMonterey AveBob Hope DrDate Palm DrPalm DrLittle Morongo RdIndian Canyon DrSunrise WayMonroe StJefferson StJackson St10 INTERSTATE CALIFORNIA 10 INTERSTATE CALIFORNIA 111 111 243 74 86 86 62 79 10 INTERSTATE CALIFORNIA Palm SpringsInternational Airport El PaseoShopping District The LivingDesert Zoo& Gardens Indian WellsTennis Garden PoloGrounds Agua CalienteResort Casino Spa Joshua Tree National Park UC RiversidePalm DesertCampus FantasySpringsResortCasino Spotlight 29 Casino CSUSBPalm DesertCampus Palm SpringsAerial Tramway Traffic Relief: Coachella Valley Highway Access Highways Trains New Technology Flood & DustControl Highway Access Highways Trains New Technology Flood & DustControl 111 The Coachella Valley component of the Traffic Relief Plan calls for improvements to all aspects of the transportation system. All revenues generated under the Plan in the Coachella Valley will remain in the Coachella Valley for expenditure. Funding will provide investments in communities that fully participate in, and are compliant with, the Coachella Valley’s Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) and Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) policies and procedures. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) will administer the Plan in the Coachella Valley. CVAG is a public agency governed by an Executive Committee consisting of the mayor or an elected official representing every city council in the Coachella Valley and the City of Blythe, all five County Supervisors, and the Tribal Chairmen from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and Cabazon Band of Mission Indians. CVAG will establish priorities according to the Transportation Project Prioritization Process (TPPS), which is a merit-based method of scoring all regional projects in the Coachella Valley. Project priorities are based on criteria adopted by the CVAG Executive Committee, as recommended by civil engineers and public works professionals serving on technical sub-committees that represent every CVAG member jurisdiction. The TPPS is the guiding document for transportation investments on regional roadways, including highway interchanges, road widenings and improvements, bridge projects and valleywide signal synchronization. The TPPS will include proposed investments in creating and maintaining transportation infrastructure, including but not limited to: • Passenger rail investments, such as train stations, that help connect the Coachella Valley to Los Angeles and/or Orange County; • Upgrading infrastructure to eliminate or reduce road closures associated with natural disasters, such as flooding and blow sand; • Infrastructure and systems to improve all forms of mass transit; • Active transportation, such as facilities for biking and walking safely; • New mobility concepts and technologies to connect the workforce to the workplace and to reduce seasonal and event-related traffic congestion; and • Creating consistency across the Coachella Valley’s regional roadways by providing additional maintenance programs and enhancements that improve the travel experience for residents and visitors. The Plan in the Coachella Valley will also be consistent with countywide strategies to accelerate investments, achieve balance and equity, provide economic opportunities, and accommodate changing transportation technologies. The Coachella Valley portion of the Plan will also fund operations and maintenance (O&M) of regional transportation corridors as identified in the TPPS. The CVAG regional O&M program would support operations, repairs, and replacement of traffic management systems, pavement surfaces and traffic control devices. This program will enhance existing efforts to promote uniform standards, keep transportation infrastructure in good condition, and extend the life cycle of Coachella Valley’s transportation infrastructure. These regional corridors span cities and unincorporated communities and include, but are not limited to: • Highway 111• Washington Street• Ramon Road• Monterey Avenue • Cook Street• Bob Hope Drive • Fred Waring Drive • Dinah Shore Drive • Gene Autry Trail/Palm Drive • Date Palm Drive• Indio Boulevard • Jefferson Street • Vista Chino• Varner Road • Palm Canyon Drive• Country Club Drive • Monroe Street• Avenue 48• Avenue 50 • Cesar Chavez Street• Sunrise Way• Indian Canyon Drive • Jackson Street TRAFFIC RELIEF PLANCoachella Valley 8Traffic Relief Plan 2020 112 All revenues generated in the Palo Verde Valley will remain in the Palo Verde Valley, with all revenue returned directly to the City of Blythe and County of Riverside. The Blythe City Council will have authority to set priorities and expend funds within the city limits and the County Board of Supervisors will have authority to expend funds in unincorporated areas of the Palo Verde Valley. Investments made by the City of Blythe and County must be for transportation purposes for the benefit of Palo Verde Valley residents and must be approved in an open and transparent manner pursuant to open meetings laws. All revenues generated through the Traffic Relief Plan in the Palo Verde Valley shall remain in the Palo Verde Valley and cannot be diverted to other areas of Riverside County. To address transportation needs in rural areas, such as the Palo Verde Valley, and to strengthen the agricultural economy and tourism, the Plan will focus on: • Safety and maintenance of local streets and roads; • Ensuring public infrastructure complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act; • Closing sidewalk gaps and enhancing bike lanes for improved pedestrian access to and from schools; • Improving the condition of interchanges at Interstate 10, including landscaping and gateway enhancements; • Establishing a new vanpool program for residents commuting to major employment areas, such as Ironwood and Chuckawalla Valley prisons, Coachella Valley, and Arizona; • Providing reduced- or free-fare public transit to increase access to education, healthcare, employment, and services; • Replacing and expanding the bus fleet to improve air quality with low- and zero- emission vehicles; • Upgrading transit operating and maintenance facilities to maintain transit vehicles and infrastructure in good condition; and • Increasing frequency and expanding public transit options for education, healthcare, employment and services in underserved neighborhoods. Transportation investments through the Plan will also serve as a driver for economic development in the community. Improving the transportation network will leverage other public and private investments and encourage new businesses to invest.

RCTC will establish criteria to prioritize projects and services based upon the recommendation of civil engineers and public works professionals serving on the Technical Advisory Committee. Prioritization must be consistent with the vision, goals, objectives, principles, policies, and desired outcomes described in the Traffic Relief Plan. For any local jurisdiction to receive funds through the Traffic Relief Plan, the jurisdiction must be a participant in good standing in the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program, which ensures that new development pays for its fair share of impacts on the transportation system, and the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Program (MSHCP), which protects locally endangered and threatened plants and animals and ensures that transportation projects can receive streamlined environmental approvals. The following pages describe the projects and services envisioned to be implemented. These projects and services were identified by RCTC Commissioners, members of the public, local transportation experts, and civic leaders in Riverside County through extensive public outreach and engagement. RCTC may add projects and services not mentioned in the Plan if those projects and services are consistent with the Plan or achieve the same result as a project or service mentioned in the Plan. Three percent of revenues generated through voter-approval of the Plan are dedicated to mitigation of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to help achieve compliance with state laws and regulations.

Many of these improvements have already been identified in local plans and are awaiting funding to be constructed. The Traffic Relief Plan devotes 34% of funding in Western Riverside County toward highway improvements and 13% toward improved highway access. Combined, these investments can achieve the following on the county’s major highway corridors: I-15 Corridor • Add at least one lane in each direction to I-15 between Cajalco Road in Corona and the San Diego County line • Eliminate the “lane drops” on southbound I-15 between Magnolia Avenue and Cajalco Road in Corona • Construct the final phase of the French Valley Parkway interchange at I-15 in Temecula, which includes: o Widening ramps at Winchester Road o Constructing on and off ramps to I-15 from French Valley Parkway and a bridge over I-15 o Constructing the French Valley Parkway from Jefferson Avenue to Ynez Road • Reconstruct interchanges with: o Central Avenue (Route 74) in Lake Elsinore o Wildomar Trail (formerly Baxter Road) in Wildomar o Bundy Canyon Road in Wildomar I-215 Corridor • Add at least one lane in each direction between Route 60 and Van Buren Boulevard • Construct new interchanges (on and off ramps) to I-215 at Keller Road in Murrieta and Garbani Road in Menifee • Reconstruct interchange at Harley Knox Boulevard in Moreno Valley 91 Corridor • Accelerate construction of at least one new lane in each direction on Route 91 between I-15 in Corona and Pierce Street in Riverside • Reconstruct interchanges on the 91 at: o Adams Street in Riverside o Tyler Street in Riverside 60 Corridor • Add at least one lane in each direction on Route 60 in Moreno Valley • Reconstruct interchanges on Route 60 at: o Etiwanda Avenue in Jurupa Valley o Rubidoux Boulevard in Jurupa Valley o Redlands Boulevard in Moreno Valley o Potrero Boulevard in Beaumont I-10 Corridor • Reconstruct interchanges on I-10 at: o Route 79 in Beaumont o Highland Springs Avenue in Beaumont and Banning o Pennsylvania Avenue in Beaumont o Morongo Parkway and Main Street in Cabazon o County Line Road and Cherry Valley Boulevard in Calimesa In addition to assisting automobile drivers, many of the above investments will address bottlenecks and safety concerns expressed by the public related to growing truck traffic.

Maintaining Local Roads and Repairing Potholes Cities and the County of Riverside will receive road maintenance funds for repairing potholes and keeping roads in good condition based on objective factors recommended by local city and county public works directors serving on the Technical Advisory Committee, consisting of representatives of every city and the County of Riverside, and adopted by RCTC. The Technical Advisory Committee shall take into consideration transportation needs for smaller cities and unincorporated communities. Separating Local Roads from Railroad Tracks The large number and length of freight trains operating in Riverside County causes rail crossings to be blocked, creates traffic delays, and restricts first responder access to emergencies. The Plan calls for construction of under- or overpasses at rail crossings, such as: • Bellegrave Avenue • Hargrave Street • Jackson Street • Mary Street • Pennsylvania Avenue • San Gorgonio Avenue • Spruce Street • Tyler Street Projects will be prioritized based on factors including, but not limited to, readiness for construction, accident and fatality rates, hours of vehicle delay at the crossing, noise and air pollution, and availability of matching funds. Funding may be used to make projects more competitive to receive state or federal grants. Reducing Accidents and Fatalities on Major County Roads The Traffic Relief Plan creates a funding program to address roads where high numbers of fatalities occur, such as Gilman Springs Road and Grand Avenue. Improving Traffic Flow on Major Local Roads Some of the most impacted roads in Riverside County are the main roads that connect our neighborhood streets to highways and transit centers. Growing employment and economic activity in Riverside County will continue to add strain on these roads. Therefore, the Traffic Relief Plan would substantially invest in major roads, including but not limited to: • Alessandro Boulevard • Bundy Canyon Road • Clinton Keith Road • Heacock Street • Keller Road • Limonite Avenue • Redlands Boulevard • Sun Lake Boulevard • Temescal Canyon Road • Van Buren Boulevard Safe Routes to School The Plan will provide funding to cities, the County of Riverside, school districts, and other governmental and nonprofit entities through an application process to build infrastructure that provides safer routes for children to walk or bike to school and decreases injuries and fatalities. Eligible improvements include sidewalks, crosswalks, and bicycle lanes. Funding may be used to make projects more competitive to receive state or federal grants. 13 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Roads Buses TrailsHighway Access Highways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl Roads Buses TrailsHighway Access Highways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl 117 TRAFFIC RELIEF PLANWestern Riverside County 14Traffic Relief Plan 2020 New East-West Routes Routes 60 and 91 are congested at most times of the day. Limited east-west connections leave drivers with few options, especially in the southern parts of Riverside County, where people need to travel I-15 and I-215 to get to these east-west routes. Also, when there is an incident or severe traffic on I-10, especially around the holidays and festival seasons, there are no alternative routes between Banning and Cabazon. The County of Riverside is developing two east-west corridors between I-15 and I-215 and a parallel roadway to I-10 that currently lack funding: • Cajalco Road • Ethanac Expressway • I-10 Bypass between Banning and Cabazon The Traffic Relief Plan would provide funding to construct these routes in the near future. Improving the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley RCTC has invested nearly two decades into obtaining federal and state environmental clearances and community consensus for two major new transportation routes. Commitments for environmental mitigation have been made. However, the funding to construct these routes currently does not exist. Therefore, the Plan provides funding for accelerated construction and local operation and maintenance of the following two major projects: • A new Highway 79, which will align the 79 from Gilman Springs Road to Domenigoni Parkway to improve traffic flow and safety and allow regional traffic to bypass local roads. • Mid County Parkway, a new 16-mile transportation corridor designed to relieve east-west traffic congestion between the San Jacinto and Perris areas. The Mid County Parkway will connect to Route 79, I-215, and multimodal bus and rail facilities that support the Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line. Additionally, the Plan calls for construction of a rapid transit system between the Hemet-San Jacinto valley and the Perris/Moreno Valley/Riverside area to provide an alternative mode of travel. RCTC owns a rail line that extends from Perris to San Jacinto, which could be used to provide this new service. Rapid transit connections to the Temecula/Menifee/Murrieta area could also be considered. RCTC will collaborate with local cities, the County of Riverside, public transit agencies, tribal governments and the community in constructing these improvements.

Increased train frequencies, upgraded, and well-maintained stations, and expansion of service into new areas of Riverside County will increase economic opportunities within the region, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance the passenger experience. Increasing Frequency of Metrolink More frequent train service to current and future destinations in Riverside County will support Metrolink’s goal to double ridership by 2025 and support local efforts to attract more employers and jobs to Riverside County. Recognizing the benefit of train transportation to commuters, the economy, and the environment, the Traffic Relief Plan makes the following commitments: • Increasing frequency of Metrolink train service on the 91/Perris Valley Line and Inland Empire-Orange County Line • Constructing new railroad tracks within existing rights of way to allow more Metrolink trains to operate Extending Train Service to New Destinations in Riverside County To make daily train service possible between the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs, Indio, etc.) and Riverside, Orange County, and L.A., the Traffic Relief Plan calls for construction of a new passenger rail station in the San Gorgonio Pass. Additionally, the Traffic Relief Plan provides funding to extend Metrolink service to Hemet and San Jacinto via the existing railroad tracks which would be rehabilitated between Perris and San Jacinto. The Traffic Relief Plan also envisions a new rail station at Ramona Expressway near Perris and the existing rail line. Maintaining, Operating, and Upgrading Train Stations, Tracks, and Service The Traffic Relief Plan will modernize rail-related infrastructure in Riverside County to ensure that services can continue to operate safely and sustainably. Investments include but are not limited to: • Constructing new parking capacity at Metrolink stations in Corona, Riverside, and Perris • Constructing accessibility improvements at the Moreno Valley/March Field station • Operating and maintaining existing and future Metrolink rail stations. There are currently nine stations in Corona, Riverside, Jurupa Valley, Perris, and near Moreno Valley. Future stations are envisioned for an extension of service to Hemet and San Jacinto • Operating Metrolink trains through Riverside County at current and future increased frequencies • Maintaining locally-owned railroad right of way to ensure public safety and proper maintenance of the tracks • Investing in zero-emission trains 15 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 RoadsBuses TrailsHighway AccessHighways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl RoadsBuses TrailsHighway AccessHighways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl 119 TRAFFIC RELIEF PLANWestern Riverside County 16Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Attracting Jobs to Riverside County through Rail Investment Rail stations provide opportunity for economic development and bringing new jobs to our communities and increasing the convenience of public transportation. The Traffic Relief Plan will create an incentive program for public-private partnerships to enhance existing and future rail stations through joint development opportunities. The Traffic Relief Plan also calls for new “reverse-commute” trains that bring passengers to Riverside County job centers, in addition to the current schedules that focus more on taking local residents to other counties. RoadsBuses TrailsHighway AccessHighways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl RoadsBuses TrailsHighway AccessHighways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl The Traffic Relief Plan dedicates 6% of revenue to enhancing Western Riverside County’s bus transit system to reduce traffic congestion, increase sustainability, and provide more options to residents who rely on public transit to access medical care, employment, education, and other services. Expanding Rapid/Express Bus Rapid/Express buses provide an affordable, comfortable, and reduced-stress travel experience, especially for commuters traveling to other counties or across the county. These buses carry wi-fi and more comfortable seats than traditional buses. The Traffic Relief Plan expands rapid/commuter bus service along the major freeway corridors in Riverside County to destinations such as San Diego, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties, downtown Riverside, Temecula, Moreno Valley, Corona, and Perris. Rapid/commuter bus service can also connect to major destinations within Riverside County and the Inland Empire, such as commercial airports, business, retail, and entertainment centers. Modernizing and Sustaining Public Transportation To increase ridership, provide more efficient service, and reduce air pollution, the Traffic Relief Plan invests in new technologies: • Traffic signals and bus equipment that improve bus travel times. • Zero-emission buses and related maintenance and operations. Improving Riverside County’s public transportation system also requires investment in transportation hubs throughout Western Riverside County, where residents can connect to other forms of transportation, employment centers, and services. The Traffic Relief Plan also ensures the continued operation of bus service in Riverside County.

A survey of public and human service providers in Riverside County indicates that about 40% of their constituents’ transportation needs are not being met with existing services. Addressing the needs of these groups requires a multifaceted approach that can be tailored to meet varying degrees of mobility and independence. Transportation needs and gaps of services for these groups are documented in local studies, which have found that increased independence and mobility can be achieved through expanded transit service; transportation for long-distrance regional medical trips; safe pedestrian and bicyclist pathways; transit affordability; and coordination with human service agencies. There is growing concern in many cities that as the population grows, the available resources to meet these target groups’ needs will not keep pace. Specialized Transit Grant Program The Traffic Relief Plan increases investment in specialized transportation providers that serve seniors, veterans, students, individuals with disabilities, and rural and underserved communities. The Citizens and Specialized Transit Advisory Council, with representatives from these populations, will assist RCTC in administering and providing oversight to the program. The Traffic Relief Plan will make investments such as: • Ensuring infrastructure compliance with expansion of destinations and hours of operation for paratransit services such as Dial-A-Ride; • Keeping transit fares low for seniors, veterans, students, and individuals with disabilities; • Improved access to and from schools, colleges and universities, and employment centers for low-income families and rural communities; • Bus fares for those who require access to medical appointments, job interviews, or other needed services; • Bringing infrastructure into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; and • Continued operation of the 2-1-1 network, which provides individualized assessments with transportation and social service specialists. 17 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Roads Buses TrailsHighway Access Highways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl Roads Buses TrailsHighway Access Highways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl 121 TRAFFIC RELIEF PLANWestern Riverside County 18Traffic Relief Plan 2020 Completing the Regional Trail System Riverside County is home to world-renowned natural open spaces with active transportation corridors for cycling, hiking, walking, and running. These trails provide alternative transportation options, as well as options for healthier lifestyles for Riverside County residents. These facilities also provide economic opportunities for local businesses and the tourism economy. The Plan invests in major regional trails identified in the master plan for the Riverside County Parks & Open Space District, to which local cities and the County can connect. These trails include: • Butterfield Overland Trail/Southern Emigrant Trail • Santa Ana River Trail • California Riding and Hiking Trail • Juan Bautista de Anza Historical Trail • Salt Creek Trail Additionally, the Plan will invest in providing trail access to Riverside County’s many publicly owned and preserved open spaces. All together, 2% of the Traffic Relief Plan in Western Riverside County will invest in these improvements. To help commuters with a safer trip, and to provide alternatives to driving alone, the Traffic Relief Plan invests 3% of revenue into Commuter Assistance programs. Freeway Service Patrol When accidents occur on highways or when vehicles break down, traffic can build quickly, creating delays and additional safety hazards to motorists. Freeway Service Patrol provides roving tow trucks to quickly assist motorists so that traffic can flow again. This public service is operated with strict performance and accountability measures by the California Highway Patrol, Caltrans, and RCTC, and must achieve a benefit-to-cost ratio of at least 3:1 (meaning for every dollar invested, the service must yield at least $3 in benefits in the form of reduced congestion, increased safety, and decreased air pollution). The Plan will sustain and increase Freeway Service Patrol levels on Interstates 15 and 215 and Routes 60 and 91, including weekend service. The Plan will also enable new service to begin on Interstate 10. More Park & Rides Creating more convenient locations for commuters to meet and travel together reduces the burdens of solo commuting and decreases the number of cars on the road during peak hours. Through the Traffic Relief Plan, RCTC will be able to enter more partnerships with local businesses and governments to create more Park & Ride options. More Employer Partnerships to Reduce Commutes The Traffic Relief Plan recognizes that improving commutes is not just about the commuter, but also about employers stepping up to help. The Plan calls for enhancing current Commuter Assistance Programs with employers in Riverside County with better options and incentives to encourage ridesharing, vanpooling, telecommuting, and public transit use.

Therefore, 5% of the Traffic Relief Plan in Western Riverside County is devoted to new technologies and innovative public policy. It is difficult to predict how technology and innovations will shape our society in the years ahead; therefore, this section of the Plan is intended to remain flexible to adapt to advances in technology. Creating Smart Roads: deployment of new technologies that better synchronize traffic signals and ramp meters, detect on-road incidents and congestion and proactively manage traffic and improve roadway safety. These technologies lay the foundation for Riverside County’s infrastructure to connect with autonomous and connected vehicles, as well as future innovations in transportation technology. Technologies such as these have begun deployment in other parts of the United States and the world; this program would bring these approaches to Riverside County. This program will also support electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Commuting Alternatives: modernizing and increasing current efforts to help commuters find alternatives to driving alone over long distances to get to work or school and back home and help save time by using technology to make existing infrastructure operate more efficiently. Bringing Jobs Home: an incentive program for local governments to develop infrastructure that will secure new permanent living-wage jobs in Riverside County and reduce the demand for residents to commute to other counties for work. These funds can also be used to invest in public transportation services that will assist local residents in accessing employment opportunities. 19 Traffic Relief Plan 2020 RoadsBusesTrailsHighway AccessHighways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl RoadsBusesTrailsHighway AccessHighways TrainsCommuterAssistance New Technology Flood & DustControl 123 1 Executive Summary, Public Engagement for Traffic Relief Plan On January 9, 2020, the Commission launched a public engagement program for the draft Traffic Relief Plan. The program was designed to educate residents of Riverside County about the Plan and solicit comments on the Plan. The goal was to reach residents and other stakeholders throughout Riverside County to encourage them to see the draft Plan and complete a public opinion survey. The Traffic Relief Plan public engagement effort was a follow-up to the Commission’s #RebootMyCommute program that was conducted in 2019. The comment period for the draft Traffic Relief Plan lasted 90 days. The comment period was originally intended to close on June 10; however, the COVID-19 pandemic rendered many public engagement activities inappropriate. Further, the Commission voted to conclude the comment period on April 8, defer plans to present a sales tax measure for voter consideration, analyze the feedback received, and present the final Plan for adoption on May 13. The final Traffic Relief Plan reflects the feedback received and is designed to be a reference point for the Commission in the future. During the public comment period, the Commission used multiple tools to solicit feedback from residents and stakeholders, including the TrafficReliefPlan.org website and survey, social media advertising with videos, streaming video, streaming audio, news media articles, presentations, The Point communications, and billboards. The website, survey, and streaming video and audio were available in both English and Spanish. Other public engagement activities had been scheduled for the spring but were canceled because of the pandemic, including polling, tele- townhall meetings, information booths at community events, advertising, and additional billboards. Metrics for completed public engagement activities are contained in this report and summarized in a one-page graphic display in Appendix A. This report also includes a summary of the comments received, summary of the survey results, maps of the origin of the comments received, and a full listing of the comments.

Survey Responses and Comments The Commission received 3,184 responses to the website survey and 6,538 comments through the survey, social media, and other sources. Included in that number were 13 Spanish comments from the survey and 42 comments from Spanish-language Facebook ads. The survey asked respondents to indicate their level of support for each of the transportation types included in the Traffic Relief Plan. This data is shown in Appendix B. 125 3 Summary, Comments by Topic The 6,538 comments are sorted into topics. Many of the comments addressed more than one topic, so the counts shown in the bar chart and the narrative below add to more than 6,538. The narrative includes a general description of the themes within the comments received. 1. Access – 47 Comments Received: Many comments focused on transportation access needs for seniors, pedestrians, cyclists, students, and those with disabilities. Others saw a need to repair roads and sidewalks for those in wheelchairs, to increase train service (especially in the Coachella Valley), to offer more frequent bus service and free or discounted fares for seniors and those with needs. Some questioned funding for public transit and suggested using smaller shuttles or ride-hailing services instead. 2. Active Transportation – 556 Comments Received: A number of comments expressed a desire for pedestrian and bicycle improvements, including sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks and safety additions, creating more walkable communities and safe walking routes for school children. Others voiced support for more traffic signals and stop signs. 126 4 Others voiced the opposite – that bike lanes, trails, and sidewalks are not important traffic relief elements, since very few people travel to work by bike or foot. 3. Carpooling – 449 Comments Received: Many expressed support for carpool lanes on various highways, with a large number mentioning Interstate 15 between Riverside County and San Diego County, more incentives for carpooling, more Park & Ride Lots, and the conversion of express lanes back to carpool lanes on the 91. Others did not support carpool lanes and said that general use lanes should be added, rather than carpool lanes or express lanes. 4. Express Lanes – 789 Comments Received: Many respondents voiced a negative sentiment towards express lanes. Some suggested replacing the express lanes with general-purpose lanes, carpool lanes, or reversible lanes. Others noted the high cost of using the express lanes, accused the Commission of collecting profits, voiced concerns about using taxpayer funds to pay for express lanes, and noted that the plan did not specify what type of lanes would be added. While some expressed support for express lanes, particularly in southwest county, many others said they would support new lanes if they were “free” to use. 5. Funding – 271 Comments Received: Many survey respondents asked how the Plan would be funded, questioned the project costs, and expressed the need for oversight. 6. Highways – 2,419 Comments Received: Respondents provided a wide variety of suggestions for highway improvements across Riverside County, including Interstate 10, Interstate 15, Interstate 215, Route 60, Route 74, Route 79, Route 91, the Mid County Parkway, alternate east-west routes between Riverside County and Orange County, and truck bypass routes. Many noted the specific trouble spots related to maintenance, traffic flow, and trucks. 7. Housing & Development – 597 Comments Received: Many people expressed their opinion that development of homes, offices, and warehouses should stop without preexisting transportation infrastructure. Both the Temecula area and San Gorgonio Pass were frequently mentioned as high-growth areas with significant traffic congestion. Some asserted the Traffic Relief Plan was an effort to “grab land.” Others noted requested more trains and alternate work schedules to reduce traffic during peak hours. 8. Jobs, Incentives & Economy – 183 Comments Received: Many respondents suggested bringing high-paying jobs to Riverside County to avoid the need to commute to Orange, San Diego, and Los Angeles counties. Others voiced support for increasing incentives to use public transit or to carpool. Some said that incentives should be provided for working from home or relocating businesses to Riverside County. 9. Local Roads – 549 Comments Received: Respondents offered multiple suggestions, such as synchronizing traffic signals, separating roads from railroad tracks, repairing potholes, adding bridges to avoid roadway flooding in the Coachella Valley, and preventing cut- 127 5 through traffic on city streets. Many comments related to specific roads or ramps that need repairs. Others believe that widening roads would lead to more traffic. 10. Planning/Studies/Timing – 288 Comments Received: Many respondents praised the plan and said the plan is needed. Comments suggested better long-term planning, that plans should have been implemented years before, too many items are in the plan, the plan is too vague and does not include project costs, timelines or priorities. 11. Public Transportation – 2,072 Comments Received: Respondents provided varied opinions about mass transit, with some voicing support for Metrolink, Coachella Valley Rail, light-rail projects, and bus services. Others said that public transportation is costly and benefits a small fraction of the population. Many advocated for passenger rail service between southwest Riverside County and San Diego County and through the San Gorgonio Pass. Some noted the need for mass transit to be more frequent, flexible, accessible, inexpensive, safer, and appealing. Others expressed support for transit to reduce pollution. 12. Safety – 463 Comments Received: Comments included concern for drivers to follow the speed limit, a desire for increased enforcement, synchronizing traffic signals, building bridges over washes and railroad tracks, adding sidewalks for students to walk to school, add left turn arrows to traffic signals, increase street lighting, add bike lanes, increase divided highways, and safety improvements on specific streets. 13.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is partnering with the California Department of Transportation District 8 and the California Highway Patrol to conduct a construction zone safety campaign. Construction work is designated as an essential function under the governor’s Executive Order, and crews are continuing to work on the Commission’s I-15 Express Lanes Project and the Route 60 Truck Lanes Project. These construction zones have speed limits of 55 miles per hour. Due to COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, the CHP has seen a dramatic increase in speeding motorists. Between mid-March and mid-April, the CHP reported a 87 percent jump in citations for those exceeding 100 miles per hour. On April 17, a vehicle traveling more than 100 miles per hour entered the I-15 Express Lanes construction area, narrowly missing crew members and causing significant damage to the project. The Commission and its partners are conducting a construction zone safety campaign with videos, billboards, social media posts, digital advertising, and a virtual news conference to remind drivers of need to slow down. The CHP also is conducting additional enforcement in both project areas. The “Less Traffic: No License to Speed” campaign is designed to protect construction crews and others on the road. Staff will provide a brief update about the campaign. 134 CONSTRUCTION ZONE SAFETY CAMPAIGN Report to Commission May 13, 2020 Cheryl Donahue, Public Affairs Manager 1 2 •Fewer drivers = large increase in 100+ mph citations •Motorist entered I-15 construction site at more than 100 mph, placed crews in danger, caused major damage •RCTC added CHP enforcement to I-15 corridor •Launching safety campaign –reminding drivers to slow down, keep crews safe –I-15, Route 60, Pachappa, Railroad Canyon construction zones News media, social media 3 •Virtual news conference, RCTC, Caltrans, CHP: May 14, 1 pm •Social media posts Billboards 4 •Thank you, General Outdoor, for public service messages on I-15 and 91 billboards •City of Lake Elsinore, SilverLakes also agreed to run our messages on their billboards •Caltrans is running messages on their overhead signs I-15 enforcement 5 •Riverside Area CHP saw 71% increase in 100+ mph citations from last year: •March-April 2019: 35 citations •March-April 2020: 60 citations •Added unit to I-15 construction zone, peak travel hours •Week 1 stats, May 4-8: 0 exceeded 100 mph; 40 exceeded 65 mph Videos 6 QUESTIONS 7 From:Tara Byerly To:Tara Byerly Cc:Anne Mayer; John Standiford; Lisa Mobley Bcc:Steven DeBaun; district3@rivco.org; cmaunz@rivco.org; c.washington@rivco.org; lwhite@beaumontca.gov; alwhite524@gmail.com; mnaggar@citycouncil.org; mike@naggarinc.com; luisa.tovar@temeculaca.gov; Lisa.middleton@palmspringsca.gov; christina.chartier@palmspringsca.gov; cindy.cairns@palmspringsca.gov; llubi.rios@palmspringsca.gov; dreed@indianwells.com; cterrones@indianwells.com; aavila@indianwells.com; bbenoit@cityofwildomar.org; bberkson@jurupavalley.org; trollings@jurupavalley.org; jharnik@cityofpalmdesert.org; jharnik@dc.rr.com; nortega@cityofpalmdesert.org; ksspiegel@rivco.org; lallin@rivco.org; swmatas@gmail.com; smatas@cityofdhs.org; rgregory@cathedralcity.gov; jmeza@cathedralcity.gov; tmartinez@cathedralcity.gov; shernandez@coachella.org; rbailey@riversideca.gov; cmhansberger@riversideca.gov; kyoung@riversideca.gov; rmagee@rivco.org; Haviva.Shane@bbklaw.com; lkrupa@cityofhemet.org; caaron@cityofhemet.org; smccomas@cityofhemet.org; lsmith@cityofcalimesa.net; dgerdes@cityofcalimesa.net; rbonner@cityofcanyonlake.com; jhewitt@rivco.org; kcline@rivco.org; district1@rivco.org; kjustus@rivco.org; mafelix@rivco.org; schedule4@rivco.org; Wes.Speake@CoronaCA.gov; angela.nieto@coronaca.gov; naomi.ramirez@coronaca.gov; Lyndsay.Burgett@CoronaCA.gov; SVinton@MurrietaCA.gov; ssmith@murrietaca.gov; RVega@MurrietaCA.gov; kfitzpatrick@la-quinta.org; carmelabungalow@gmail.com; tthompson@la-quinta.org; clorimore@eastvaleca.gov; akotyuk@sanjacintoca.us; wfermon@indio.org; strujillo@indio.org; ssanchex@indio.org; bzimmerman@cityofmenifee.us; smanwaring@cityofmenifee.us; mstephens@cityofmenifee.us; yxstiang@moval.org; patjn@moval.org; ericle@moval.org; cityclerk@moval.org; reneeb@moval.org; jessical@moval.org; zoilal@moval.org; tedw@ranchomirageca.gov; sylvian@ranchomirageca.gov; mvargas@cityofperris.org; mmartinez@cityofperris.org; joeydeconinck@gmail.com; msutterfield@cityofblythe.ca.gov; blang@cityofblythe.ca.gov; Mike.beauchamp@dot.ca.gov; Exec.Sec.D08@dot.ca.gov; lsampson@ci.banning.ca.us; awelch@ci.banning.ca.us; hooffxr@att.net; droa@ci.norco.ca.us Subject:RCTC: May Commission Agenda - May 13, 2020 Date:Wednesday, May 6, 2020 9:15:00 AM Attachments:Conflict of Interest Form.pdf Conflict of Interest Memo.pdf Good morning Commissioners, The May Agenda for the Commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2020 @ 9:30 a.m. is now available. https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/May-Commission-Agenda.pdf Pursuant to Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-29-20, (March 18, 2020), the Governing Board meeting will only be conducted via video conferencing and by telephone.
