Subject: 91 Express Lanes Status Reports
Overview
The 91 Express Lanes status reports for the months of September 2020 through
January 2021 have been prepared for State Route 91 Advisory Committee review.
The reports highlight operational and financial activities for both the Orange County
Transportation Authority and Riverside County Transportation Commission
segments of the 91 Express Lanes.
Recommendation
Receive and file the 91 Express Lanes Status Reports for the months of
September 2020 through January 2021.
Background
The joint monthly status reports are prepared to document 91 Express Lanes
activities and are provided for State Route 91 Advisory Committee review.
Discussion
For the months of September 2020 through January 2021, gross potential toll
revenues and traffic volumes in the 91 Express Lanes for both the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) and Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC) segments decreased as compared to the same period last
year. The decreases are attributed to the coronavirus pandemic and the
State of California orders for residents to stay-at-home and refrain from
non-essential travel. As of the end of January 2021, for the OCTA segment, the
2020-21 fiscal year-to-date traffic volume and gross potential toll revenue
decreased by 23.6 percent and 18 percent, respectively. For the RCTC
Joint 91 Express Lanes Monthly Status Reports Page 2
segment, a fiscal year-to-date comparison reflects a decrease in traffic volume
of 26.5 percent and a decrease of 41.4 percent in gross potential toll revenue.
Staff will continue to closely monitor traffic and revenue data and report back to
the State Route 91 Advisory Committee regularly.
Summary
The 91 Express Lanes status reports for the months of September 2020 through
January 2021 are provided for review. The report highlights operational and
financial activities.

OCTA OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-Road Operations
OCTA customer assistance specialists (CAS) responded to 79 calls during the month of
September. Of those calls, 61 were to assist disabled vehicles and 15 calls to remove
debris. The CAS provided assistance to three accidents in the Express Lanes with one of
those accidents originating in the State Route 91 general purpose lanes.
91 Express Lanes Toll Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project Update
OCTA is contracting with the California Department of Transportation to provide
construction and construction management services for the 91 Express Lanes Toll
Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project. This project entails constructing new toll gantries
infrastructure at the three entrances of the OCTA 91 Express Lanes. Construction of the
gantries is scheduled to begin early 2021 and is expected to be completed in summer
2021. The schedule has been delayed by a few months as a result of preparing the final
design/construction package and awaiting the final comments from our project partners.
Electronic Toll and Traffic Management System Project Update
Kapsch TrafficCom USA, Inc., (Kapsch), the toll lanes system integrator for the
91 Express Lanes, completed the replacement of the Electronic Toll and Traffic
Management (ETTM) system at the current toll gantries in October 2019. This new lane
system is reading both the new 6C transponder protocol as well as the legacy Title 21
protocol. The next steps of the project includes the replacement of the closed-circuit
television cameras along the corridor. The new toll gantries infrastructure, as mentioned
above, will house the new ETTM equipment. Once the gantries have been constructed,
Kapsch will commence installation.

RCTC PEAK-HOUR VOLUMES
In September, peak-hour toll rates were increased for several peak-period hours in
response to changes in traffic volume following earlier reductions due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Traffic volumes are being reviewed regularly, and a plan is in place to monitor
traffic volumes and adjust toll rates until traffic returns to pre COVID-19 volumes.

OCTA OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-Road Operations
OCTA customer assistance specialists (CAS) responded to 90 calls during the month of
October. Of those calls, 75 were to assist disabled vehicles and ten calls to remove debris.
The CAS provided assistance to five accidents in the Express Lanes with four of those
accidents originating in the State Route 91 general purpose lanes.
91 Express Lanes Toll Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project Update
OCTA is contracting with the California Department of Transportation to provide
construction and construction management services for the 91 Express Lanes Toll
Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project. This project entails constructing new toll gantries
infrastructure at the three entrances of the OCTA 91 Express Lanes. Construction of the
gantries is scheduled to begin early 2021 and is expected to be completed in summer
2021. As reported in the September 2020 monthly report, the schedule has been delayed
by a few months as a result of preparing the final design/construction package and
awaiting the final comments from our project partners.
Electronic Toll and Traffic Management System Project Update
Kapsch TrafficCom USA, Inc., (Kapsch), the toll lanes system integrator for the
91 Express Lanes, completed the replacement of the Electronic Toll and Traffic
Management (ETTM) system at the current toll gantries in October 2019. This new lane
system is reading both the new 6C transponder protocol, as well as the legacy Title 21
protocol. The next steps of the project include the replacement of the closed-circuit
television cameras along the corridor. The new toll gantries infrastructure, as mentioned
above, will house the new ETTM equipment. Once the gantries have been constructed,
Kapsch will commence installation.

OCTA OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-Road Operations
OCTA customer assistance specialists (CAS) responded to 88 calls during the month of
November. Of those calls, 59 were to assist disabled vehicles and 20 calls to remove
debris. The CAS provided assistance to nine accidents in the Express Lanes with two of
those accidents originating in the State Route 91 general purpose lanes.
91 Express Lanes Toll Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project Update
OCTA is contracting with the California Department of Transportation to provide
construction and construction management services for the 91 Express Lanes Toll
Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project. This project entails constructing new toll gantries
infrastructure at the three entrances of the OCTA 91 Express Lanes. Construction of the
gantries is scheduled to begin early 2021 and is expected to be completed in summer
2021. As reported in the September 2020 monthly report, the schedule has been delayed
by a few months as a result of preparing the final design/construction package and
awaiting the final comments from our project partners.
Electronic Toll and Traffic Management System Project Update
Kapsch TrafficCom USA, Inc., (Kapsch), the toll lanes system integrator for the
91 Express Lanes, completed the replacement of the Electronic Toll and Traffic
Management (ETTM) system at the current toll gantries in October 2019. This new lane
system is reading both the new 6C transponder protocol, as well as the legacy Title 21
protocol. The next steps of the project include the replacement of the closed-circuit
television cameras along the corridor. The new toll gantries infrastructure, as mentioned
above, will house the new ETTM equipment. Once the gantries have been constructed,
Kapsch will commence installation.

Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
2
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the 91 EL, a major enterprise fund of OCTA, as of June 30, 2020, and the changes in its financial
position and its cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the 91 EL and do not purport to, and do not,
present fairly the financial position of OCTA as of June 30, 2020, the changes in its financial position, or,
where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the 91 EL’s financial statements. The management’s discussion and analysis, as listed in the
table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements. The information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 16,
2020 on our consideration of OCTA’s internal control over financial reporting, as it relates to the 91 EL, and
on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of OCTA’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance, as it relates to the 91
EL. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering OCTA’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance, as it relates to the 91 EL.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER
MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of Directors
Orange County Transportation Authority
Orange, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the 91 Express Lanes
Fund (91 EL), a major enterprise fund of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
the 91 EL’s financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 16, 2020. As
discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the 91 EL and do not purport to, and do not,
present fairly the financial position of OCTA, the changes in its financial position, or where applicable, its
cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered OCTA’s internal control
over financial reporting and compliance (internal control), as it relates to the 91 EL, as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of OCTA’s
internal control, as it relates to the 91 EL. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness
of OCTA’s internal control, as it relates to the 91 EL.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.
4
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the 91 EL’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed
no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

91 Express Lanes Fund
Management's Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
As management of the 91 Express Lanes Fund (91 EL), an enterprise fund of the Orange County
Transportation Authority, we offer readers of the 91 EL financial statements this narrative overview and
analysis of the 91 EL's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. We encourage readers to
consider the information on financial performance presented in conjunction with the financial statements
that begin on page 10.
Financial Highlights
a. At the end of fiscal year 2019-20, the total net position of the 91 EL was $264,320,837 and
consisted of net investment in capital assets of $42,050,844; restricted net position of $14,446,979;
and unrestricted net position of $207,823,014. Net position increased $15,413,888 during fiscal
year 2019-20, which represents an increase of 6.2% from the fiscal year 2018-19 ending net
position. The increase is primarily due to operating revenues in excess of operating expenses
offset by bond interest expense.
b. In fiscal year 2019-20, total operating revenues decreased by $13,254,991, which represents a
23.1% decrease from the fiscal year 2018-19. The decrease in operating revenue is primarily due
to a decrease in trips due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and state orders to refrain
from non -essential travel.
c. Total operating expenses decreased by $629,078, which represents a 3.4% decrease from fiscal
year 2018-19, primarily due to a decrease in professional services related to collection fees.
d. At the end of fiscal year 2019-20, transfers to other OCTA funds increased by $14,514,850
compared to fiscal year 2018-19. The increase in transfers to other OCTA funds is primarily
related to State Route (SR) 91 improvement projects.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the 91 EL's financial statements.
The financial statements are comprised of the fund financial statements and notes to the financial
statements.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the 91 EL's assets, deferred outflows of
resources, deferred inflows of resources and liabilities, with the difference reported as net position. Over
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the 91 EL is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position presents information showing how the
91 EL's net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as
the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
The 91 EL fund financial statements can be found on pages 10-13 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding
of the data provided in the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 14-27 of this report.

91 Express Lanes Financial Analysis
As noted previously, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the 91 EL's financial
position. At June 30, 2020, the 91 EL's net position was $264,320,837, an increase of $15,413,888 or 6.2%
from June 30, 2019. Our analysis below focuses on net position (Table 1) and changes in net position
(Table 2) of the 91 EL's financial activities.

Net position:
Net investment in capital assets 42,050,844 37,799,192
Restricted 14,446,979 14,028,731
Unrestricted 207,823,014 197,079,026
Total net position $ 264,320,837 $ 248,906,949
In fiscal year 2019-20, total assets increased by $6,510,494 which represents an increase of 1.8% from fiscal
year 2018-19, primarily due to an increase in cash and investments. Refer to note 4 for changes in capital
assets. Total liabilities decreased by $9,572,955 or 7.8% primarily due to principal payments during the
fiscal year.
The 91 EL's net investment in capital assets was $42,050,844 in fiscal year 2019-20 compared to
$37,799,192 in fiscal year 2018-19. The 91 EL's net position reflects its investment in capital assets (i.e.,
intangible assets; improvements; communications equipment; computer hardware and software;
equipment, furniture and fixtures; and transponders), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire
these assets. The 91 EL uses these capital assets to provide improved mobility for 91 EL customers and
commuters along the SR -91 corridor. The increase of $4,251,652 in net investment in capital assets was
primarily due to a reduction in related outstanding debt used to acquire capital assets in addition to an
increase in capital assets offset by depreciation and amortization of assets.
Restricted net position, representing resources subject to external restrictions on how they may be used,
represented 5.5% of the total net position at June 30, 2020. The $418,248 increase in restricted net position
is related to investment activity in bond reserve accounts.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
Unrestricted net position represents the portion of net position that can be used to finance day-to-day
operations without constraints established by debt covenants, enabling legislation, or other legal
requirements. Unrestricted net position changed from $197,079,026 at June 30, 2019 to $207,823,014 at
June 30, 2020. This increase of $10,743,988 was primarily due to operating revenues in excess of operating
expenses.
The analysis in Table 2 focuses on the changes in net position.

The 91 EL's total operating revenues decreased by 23.1%, while total operating expenses decreased by
3.4%. Total traffic volume on the 91 EL during fiscal year 2019-20 was 14,990,602 trips reflecting a
decrease of 14.6% in comparison to fiscal year 2018-19. The decrease in operating revenues is primarily
due to COVID-19 pandemic and state orders to refrain from non -essential travel in fiscal year 2019-20.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
Capital Assets
As of June 30, 2020, the 91 EL had $122,669,328 net of accumulated depreciation and amortization,
invested in a broad range of capital assets including: the toll facility franchise, construction in progress,
improvements, communication equipment, computer hardware and software, transponders, and
equipment, furniture and fixtures (Table 3). The total decrease in the 91 EL's capital assets for fiscal year
2019-20 was $2,694,724, which was primarily due to the amortization of the toll facility franchise.

Equipment, furniture, and fixtu res 15,965 20,970
Total capital assets, net $ 122,669,328 $ 125,364,052
The 91 EL has outstanding capital expense commitments, the most significant of which is $7,047,364 for
electronic toll and traffic management (ETTM) system. Major capital asset additions during fiscal year
2019-20 included $325,411 and $297,339 primarily due to the purchase of transponders and back office
system, respectively. More detailed information about the 91 EL's capital assets is presented in note 4 to
the financial statements.
Debt Administration
As of June 30, 2020, the 91 EL had $91,685,000 in tax-exempt bonds outstanding compared to $97,795,000
at June 30, 2019. The reduction is due to principal payments in fiscal year 2019-20 in the amount of
$6,110,000. Additional information on long-term debt can be found in note 5 to the financial statements.
Economic and Other Factors
The 91 EL makes up $37,711,495 or 2.6% of OCTA's fiscal year 2020-21 adopted revenue budget. In fiscal
year 2020-21, budgeted toll revenue is forecasted to decrease by 43% from the fiscal year 2019-20
budgeted value. This decrease is due to a forecasted decrease in trips due to the coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic and California Governor Gavin Newsom's orders for residents to self -quarantine and refrain
from non -essential travel. The budgeted average long term rate of growth for toll road revenue beyond
fiscal year 2020-21 is 3.6%.
The majority of expenses related to the 91 EL within the fiscal year 2020-21 budget are on -going general
costs related to day to day operations of the toll facility. Since the 91 EL is a fully electronic toll facility,
motorists pay tolls through the convenient use of windshield mounted FasTrak® transponders that
automatically deduct toll charges from a prepaid account. At the end of fiscal year 2019-20, there were
149,803 active customer accounts, with 322,319 transponders assigned to those accounts, which represents
an increase of 1,749 and 96,698 respectively from fiscal year 2018-19.

91 Express Lanes Fund
Management's Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
OCTA, in concert with Caltrans and RCTC, issued an annual SR -91 Implementation Plan to establish a
program of projects eligible for funding by potential excess 91 EL toll revenue and other funds.
The projects are presented in the following groups: Orange County Projects, Riverside County Projects
and Bi-County Projects. The Orange County Projects have a total cost of approximately $600 million. The
projects include improvements to the SR -91 between SR -57 and SR -55, Anaheim Canyon Metrolink
station improvements, Placentia Metrolink rail station, and Fairmont Boulevard improvements. The
Riverside County projects have a total cost of approximately $387 million. The improvements include
I-15/91 Express Lanes Connection, the SR-71/SR-91 interchange, and the SR -91 improvements east of
Interstate 15. The Bi-County projects benefit both Orange and Riverside Counties, with total projects
exceeding $300 million.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
1. Reporting Entity
On January 3, 2003, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) purchased from the California
Private Transportation Company (CPTC) its interest in a Franchise Agreement for the 91 Express Lanes.
See note 4 for further information on this transaction.
These financial statements include only the activities of the 91 Express Lanes Fund, an enterprise fund of
OCTA. These financial statements are not intended to present the activities of OCTA.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the 91 Express Lanes Fund are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard -setting body for establishing accounting and financial
reporting principles.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the 91 Express Lanes Fund are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues, consisting substantially of tolls and
fees, are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the
timing of related cash flows. Toll amounts are collected from customers on a prepaid basis, and
unearned tolls are reported as unearned revenue. Toll revenue is recognized when the customers utilize
the toll road facility.
Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with an enterprise fund's
principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the 91 Express Lanes Fund are charges
to customers for use of the toll facility and are presented net of discounts and allowances. Operating
expenses for the 91 Express Lanes Fund include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation and amortization on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition
are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the 91 Express Lanes Fund's
policy to use restricted resources first and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Cash and Investments
The 91 Express Lanes Fund participates in OCTA's Commingled Investment Pool. OCTA maintains cash
and investments in accordance with an Investment Policy (Policy) adopted initially by OCTA's Board of
Directors (Board) on May 8, 1995, and most recently amended on June 10, 2020. The Policy complies
with, or is more restrictive than, the California Government Code (Code). At June 30, 2020 the
investment portfolios were maintained at U.S. Bank, N.A. as custodial bank. OCTA's Commingled
Investment Pool is managed by four private sector investment managers. Separate investment manager
accounts are maintained for the proceeds of bond issues, with the earnings for each bond issue accounted
for separately. Cash from other OCTA revenue sources is commingled for investment purposes in the
OCTA Commingled Investment Pool, with investment earnings allocated to the different accounts based
on average daily account balances.
OCTA holds investments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. OCTA categorizes the fair
value measurements of its investments based on the hierarchy established by GAAP. The fair value
14
91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset's fair value:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are inputs -other than
quoted prices included in Level 1 -that are observable including quoted prices for similar assets in active
markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; Level 3 inputs are
unobservable inputs. Refer to the OCTA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for details on
valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy.
Investments in U.S. government and U.S. agency securities, medium -term notes, repurchase agreements,
variable and floating rate securities, mortgage and asset -backed securities and corporate notes are carried
at fair value based on quoted prices of similar assets, except for money market investments and
participating interest -earning investment contracts with a remaining maturity of one year or less at
purchase date, which are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
The Policy requires that assets in the portfolio consist of the following investments, with maximum
permissible concentrations based on book value, and may be more restrictive than applicable state
statutes for the following investment types: OCTA notes and bonds, U.S. treasuries, federal
instrumentality securities, federal agencies, municipal debt, banker's acceptance, commercial paper,
negotiable certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, medium -term notes, money market funds and
mutual funds, mortgage or asset -backed securities, supranationals, investment pools, variable and
floating rate securities, bank deposits and derivatives. Investment agreements are also allowed for bond
issues.
All investments are subject to a maximum maturity of five years, unless specific direction to exceed the
limit is given by the Board and as permitted by the Code. OCTA policy is to invest only in high quality
instruments as permitted by the Code, subject to the limitations of the Policy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, OCTA considers all short-term investments with an initial
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All deposits, commercial paper, money market
funds, certificates of deposit, and the 91 Express Lanes Fund's share of the OCTA Commingled
Investment Pool represent cash and cash equivalents for cash flow purposes.
Restricted Cash and Investments
Investments set aside in the Senior Lien Reserve Fund, Major Maintenance Reserve Fund, and Operating
Reserve Fund are pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Indenture for the $124,415,000 Toll Road Revenue
Refunding Bonds and their use is limited by applicable debt covenants.
Permitted investments per the debt covenants include: government obligations, State of California and
local agency obligations, banker's acceptances, commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit,
repurchase agreements, money market funds, other mutual funds, investment agreements, and variable
and floating rate securities.
Receivables
Violations receivables include an estimate for outstanding unpaid violations that the 91 Express Lanes
Fund anticipates to collect. For violations less than or equal to 90 days old, the receivable is based on a
12 -month average of violations collected, and is recorded net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of
$710,190 at June 30, 2020. For unpaid violations in excess of 90 days, the receivable is estimated using a
three-year average of violations collected and is recorded net of uncollectible accounts as the majority is
not considered probable of collection.
15
91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
Other receivables include amounts due from other California toll road agencies related to their
customers' use of the 91 Express Lanes, as well as amounts owed from customers, net of an allowance for
uncollectible accounts of $470,841 at June 30, 2020.
An estimated $11,411,077 of violation and customer receivables are not expected to be collected within
one year. The 91 Express Lanes utilizes an outside collection agency to assist in the recovery of unpaid
customer balances and violations exceeding 90 days.
Due from other Governments
Due from other governments include receivables due from other government agencies.
Other Assets
Other assets include prepaid expenses and refundable deposits.
Capital Assets
Capital assets include toll facility franchise, construction in progress, improvements, equipment,
computer hardware, software, furniture and fixtures, and transponders. Capital assets are defined by the
91 Express Lanes Fund as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and a useful life in
excess of one year. It is also the 91 Express Lanes Fund's policy to capitalize non -sticker transponder
purchases, as they are considered a significant class of assets even though individually under $5,000.
Such assets are recorded at historical cost. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add
value to the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Capital Asset Type Useful Life
Improvements 10-30 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 3-10 years
Computer hardware and software 3-5 years
Transponders 5-7 years
OCTA purchased the interest in the Franchise Agreement for the toll facility from CPTC on
January 3, 2003. The toll facility franchise is amortized over the remaining life of the Franchise
Agreement through December 2065.
Deferred Outflows
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as
an outflow of resources (expense) until then. As of June 30, 2020, the 91 Express Lanes Fund only has one
item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred charge on refunding reported in the
statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying
value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the
shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.

Due to other Governments
Due to other governments include payables due to other government agencies.
Risk Management
The 91 Express Lanes Fund purchases commercial property insurance including business interruption,
earthquake and flood coverage related to the toll facility. Additionally, the 91 Express Lanes Fund
participates in OCTA's self-insurance general liability program. Liability claims are resolved by OCTA
and are an expense of the 91 Express Lanes Fund.
Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflows of resources and liabilities
plus deferred inflows of resources and is classified into three categories:
• Net investment in capital assets - Reflects net position of the 91 Express Lanes Fund invested in
capital assets and the intangible asset net of related debt. This net position is not accessible for
other purposes.
• Restricted net position - Represents net position not accessible for general use, with the use subject
to restrictions enforceable by third parties. The net position has been restricted by the 2013 Toll
Road Revenue Refunding Bonds Master Indenture of Trust for debt service, capital, and
operating expenses.
• Unrestricted net position - Represents net position available for general use.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures during the reporting period. As such, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Recent Event
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus has spread around the world resulting in business and
social disruption. The coronavirus was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by
the World Health Organization on January 30, 2020. In March 2020, the State of California issued a
statewide shelter -in -place order that continue to have significant impact on the operations and business
results of OCTA. OCTA cannot predict the extent and duration of the impact on its activities, including
fluctuations in toll trip activity of the 91 Express Lanes fund. The extent to which the coronavirus may
impact the 91 Express Lanes Fund will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and
cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the
coronavirus and the actions required to contain the coronavirus. Management has not included any
contingencies in the financial statements specific to this recent event.
New Effective Accounting Pronouncements
In fiscal year 2019-20, OCTA implemented the following GASB Statement for the 91 Express Lanes Fund:

For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
GASB Statement No. 95
In May 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain
Authoritative Guidance. The primary objective of this Statement is to provide temporary relief to
governments and other stakeholders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. That objective is accomplished
by postponing the effective dates of certain provisions in Statements and Implementation Guides that
first became effective or are scheduled to become effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2018, and
later. This Statement is effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The implementation of this
Statement did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the 91 Express Lanes fund.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
As of June 30, 2020, the 91 Express Lanes Fund had $203,883,390 invested in the OCTA's Commingled
Investment Pool (CIP). OCTA's CIP investments are carried at fair value except for money market
investments and participating interest -earning investment contracts with a remaining maturity of one
year or less at purchase date carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Deposits and withdrawals in the OCTA's CIP are made on the basis of $1.00 (cost basis) and not fair
value. Accordingly, the 91 Express Lanes Fund's investment in the OCTA's CIP at June 30, 2020 is
uncategorized, not defined as a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 input.
Refer to the OCTA CAFR for fiscal year 2019-20 for details on valuation techniques, fair value hierarchy,
interest rate risk, variable rate notes and custodial credit risk related to the OCTA's CIP underlying
investments.
Credit Risk
The Policy sets minimum acceptable credit ratings for investments from any of the three nationally
recognized rating services: Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P), Moody's Investors Service (Moody's),
and Fitch Ratings (Fitch). For an issuer of short-term debt, the rating must be no less than A-1 (S&P), P-1
(Moody's), or F1 (Fitch), while an issuer of long-term debt must be rated no less than an "A" by two of
the three rating services. OCTA's CIP is not rated.
The following is a summary of the credit quality distribution and concentration of credit risk by
investment type as a percentage of fair value of the 91 Express Lanes Fund's portfolio at June 30, 2020.

On January 3, 2003, OCTA purchased from the California Private Transportation Company (CPTC) its
interest in a Franchise Agreement for a toll facility on a 10 -mile segment of the Riverside Freeway/State
Route (SR) 91 between the Orange/Riverside County line and the Costa Mesa Freeway/SR-55. The
20
91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
purchase was enabled by State Assembly Bill (AB) 1010 (Correa), passed by the California legislature and
signed by the governor in September 2002. The legislation provided the authority for OCTA to collect
tolls and pay related financing costs until 2030, and eliminated non -compete provisions in the Franchise
Agreement for needed improvements on the SR -91. The Franchise Agreement with the State of
California's Department of Transportation (Caltrans) had granted CPTC the right to develop and
construct the toll facility and to operate it for 35 years under a lease arrangement. Caltrans retains legal
title to the real property components of the toll facility.
In September 2008, the Governor of California approved Senate Bill (SB) 1316 (Correa) as an update to the
provisions of AB 1010. SB 1316 authorized OCTA to assign its franchise rights, interests and obligations
in the Riverside County portion to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), thereby
allowing RCTC to add two toll lanes and a regular lane in each direction on the SR -91 from the Orange
County line to Interstate 15. In addition, the bill authorized the terms of the franchise to expire no later
than December 31, 2065. SB 1316 also required OCTA and RCTC to enter into an agreement providing for
the coordination of their respective tolling facilities if RCTC was to construct and operate the toll facilities
on the Riverside County portion of the SR -91 franchise.
In December 2011, the Board approved the assignment of OCTA's franchise rights, interests and
obligations in the Riverside County portion of the SR -91 franchise to RCTC. The Board also approved the
extension of the expiration date to 2065 and a cooperative agreement between OCTA and RCTC that
details the joint operation for the 91 Express Lanes extension.
5. Bonds Payable
Taxable Senior Secured Bonds
On January 3, 2003, as part of the purchase agreement, the 91 Express Lanes Fund assumed $135,000,000
of taxable 7.63% Senior Secured Bonds. On November 12, 2003, the taxable bonds were refunded as
noted below. As required by the tax-exempt bond indenture, OCTA paid a $26,428,197 Yield Maintenance
Premium in connection with the defeasance of the Senior Secured Bonds, which is amortized over the life
of the Series 2003 tax-exempt bonds on the straight line basis.
Toll Road Revenue Refunding Bonds
On November 12, 2003, OCTA issued $195,265,000 in Toll Road Revenue Refunding Bonds
(91 Express Lanes) Series 2003-A, Series 2003-B-1 and Series 2003-B-2 to refund the $135,000,000 taxable
7.63% Senior Secured Bonds and to reimburse OCTA for a portion of its payment of the costs of acquiring
the Toll Road and certain other property and interests associated with the Toll Road. The $95,265,000
Series 2003-A Bonds were issued as fixed rate bonds. The $75,000,000 Series 2003-B-1 Bonds and the
$25,000,000 Series 2003-B-2 Bonds (collectively the "Series 2003-B Bonds") were issued as adjustable rate
bonds.
On November 24, 2008, OCTA remarketed the $100,000,000 Series 2003-B Bonds, which were purchased
by the Orange County Investment Pool (OCIP). In connection with the mandatory tender of the Series
2003-B Bonds required by the Indenture, the interest rate was converted to a Long Term Interest Rate
equal to the OCIP Rate. On December 20, 2010, OCTA entered into a new transaction with OCIP for the
Series 2003-B Bonds at a 1.55% rate. The Series 2003-B Bonds had a mandatory tender date of
August 15, 2013.
On July 30, 2013, OCTA issued $124,415,000 in Senior Lien Toll Road Revenue Refunding Bonds
(91 Express Lanes) Series 2013 to refund the outstanding Toll Road Revenue Refunding Bonds
21
91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
(91 Express Lanes) Series 2003-A, Series 2003-B-1 and Series 2003-B-2. OCTA refunded the outstanding
Series 2003-A Bonds to reduce its total debt service payments over the life of the bonds and refunded the
Series 2003-B-1 and Series 2003-B-2 Bonds to address the mandatory tender date of August 15, 2013 for
the existing private placement with the OCIP. The refunding resulted in a difference between the
reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt of $4,366,861. The transaction resulted in a
reduction of debt service payments of $26,916,929 over 18 fiscal years and an economic gain (difference
between the present values of the debt service payments of the original 2003 and 2013 debt) of
$19,271,945. The Series 2013 Bonds were issued as fixed rate bonds. The transaction closed on
August 8, 2013.
The OCTA's outstanding debt obligations related to Toll Road Revenue Refunding Bonds contain a
provision that in an event of default, bondholders have the right to sue in order to force OCTA to cure the
event of default, which may result in finance related consequences.

Operator Agreement
In connection with the purchase of the toll facility interest, OCTA entered into an operating agreement
with Cofiroute Global Mobility, subsequently Cofiroute USA, LLC (Cofiroute), to provide operating
services in the annual amount of $4,994,000 plus inflation for three initial years with two one-year
extension options, subject to Board of Directors approval. The agreement was in effect from January 3,
2003 through January 2, 2006. On January 6, 2006, OCTA entered into a second operating agreement with
Cofiroute, effective January 3, 2006 through January 2, 2011. The annual amount of the base contract is
$5,448,768 plus inflation adjustments after the first year. The agreement carried two two-year extension
options through January 2, 2015. On June 27, 2011, the OCTA Board of Directors approved a subsequent
amendment to the operating agreement with Cofiroute, which authorized the addition of two five-year
extension options beginning July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2016 for the first extension term and beginning
July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021 as the second extension term. The second extension term was
approved on May 9, 2016. Cofiroute is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the toll facility.
On May 24, 2013 OCTA completed a three -party agreement expiring on June 30, 2021, with Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and Cofiroute for operations of the 91 Express Lanes.
In fiscal year 2018-19, OCTA and RCTC began procurement for a new operating agreement for both

segments of the 91 Express Lanes. The OCTA Board of Directors and RCTC Commission subsequently
approved the re -selection of Cofiroute as the operator in fiscal year 2019-20, the new operating agreement
will commence in July 2021. This will help ensure streamlined consistent inter -county travel for motorists
on the original 10 -mile span of the 91 Express Lanes and the eight miles extension into Riverside County.
Purchase Commitments
The 91 Express Lanes has various outstanding contracts. Total purchase commitments at June 30, 2020
were $93,034,286, the most significant are with Cofiroute and RCTC for the operations of the 91 Express
Lanes, Kapsch TrafficCom for toll lanes integrator services and California Highway Patrol (CHP) for
patrol services.
Lease Commitments
The 91 Express Lanes Fund is committed under two non -cancelable leases for office space. These leases
are considered for accounting purposes to be operating leases. Lease expenses for the year ended
June 30, 2020 were $383,681.
Future minimum payments for these leases approximate the following:
For the year ending June 30,
2021 $ 394,833
2022 405,986
2023 417,750
2024 429,535
2025 442,105
2026-2030 2,338,030
2031 75,740
Total $ 4,503,979
On April 13, 2015, the Board approved a 15 -year lease extension for the 91 Express Lanes Anaheim office.
On May 23, 2018, the Board approved the relocation of the 91 Express Lanes Customer Service Center in
Corona and a ten-year lease agreement with RCTC for the facility. Both leases are shared equally with
RCTC per agreement between OCTA and RCTC, entered into in December 2011.
Litigation
In April 2020, the OCTA Board approved a settlement for $1 million in cash and forgiveness of
$40 million in toll violations and penalties for the In Re Toll Roads Litigation (Plaintiffs) case. The case
initially focused on two basic sets of claims. The first related to due process and negligence claims
alleging that the procedures used to assess and collect toll violation penalties when drivers use toll roads
without paying the required toll are inadequate. The second original claim is that the penalties assessed
against toll violators on the 91 Express Lanes is excessive. Over time, the Plaintiffs alleged that OCTA
routinely sells and/or provides personally identifiable information of drivers to a host of other entities as
part of the operation of the 91 Express Lanes. The parties are in the process of finalizing settlement
agreements and preparing the paperwork necessary to: 1) obtain court approval of the settlement; and
2) give notice of the settlement to the class members. Management recorded a liability of $1,000,000 for
the cash settlement and wrote off approximately $3,600,000 of violations receivables for the forgiveness of
toll violations and penalties.

7. Effect of New Pronouncements:
GASB Statement No. 84
In January 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities. The objective of this Statement is to
improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial
reporting purposes and how those activities should be reported. This Statement establishes criteria for
identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. An activity meeting the criteria should
be reported in a fiduciary fund in the basic financial statements. This Statement describes four fiduciary
funds that should be reported, if applicable: (1) pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds,
(2) investment trust funds, (3) private -purpose trust funds, and (4) custodial funds. This Statement also
provides for recognition of a liability to the beneficiaries in a fiduciary fund when an event has occurred
that compels the government to disburse fiduciary resources. This Statement was effective for OCTA's
fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, but was postponed by one year per GASB Statement No. 95,
Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. OCTA has not determined the
effect of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 87
In June 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the
information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases
by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of governments' financial statements by
requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as
operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment
provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational
principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee
is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right -to -use lease asset, and a lessor is required
to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and
consistency of information about governments' leasing activities. This Statement was effective for
OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, but was postponed by 18 months per GASB Statement No. 95,
Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. OCTA has not determined the
effect of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 90
In August 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests - an amendment of GASB
Statements No. 14 and No. 61. The primary objectives of this Statement are to improve the consistency
and comparability of reporting a government's majority equity interest in a legally separate organization
and to improve the relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. This
Statement was effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, but was postponed by one year per
GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. OCTA
has not determined the effect of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 91
In May 2019, GASB issued Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations. The primary objectives of this
Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate
diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated
with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives
by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt
obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of
additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated
with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures. This Statement was effective for
OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, but was postponed by one year per GASB Statement No. 95,

Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. OCTA has not determined the
effect of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 92
In January 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 92, Omnibus 2020. The primary objectives of this Statement
are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial reporting and to improve the consistency of
authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been identified during implementation
and application of certain GASB Statements. Paragraphs 4, 5, 11 and 13 of this Statement are effective
immediately. The remaining paragraphs of this Statement were effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending
June 30, 2021, but were postponed by one year per GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective
Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. The implementation of paragraphs 4, 5, 11 and 13 of this
Statement did not have a material effect on the financial statements. OCTA has not determined the effect
of the remaining paragraphs of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 93
In March 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 93, Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates. The objective of
this Statement is to address those and other accounting and financial reporting implications that result
from the replacement of an IBOR. This Statement achieves that objective by: (1) providing exceptions for
certain hedging derivative instruments to the hedge accounting termination provisions when an IBOR is
replaced as the reference rate of the hedging derivative instrument's variable payment, (2) clarifying the
hedge accounting termination provisions when a hedged item is amended to replace the reference rate,
(3) clarifying that the uncertainty related to the continued availability of IBORs does not, by itself, affect
the assessment of whether the occurrence of a hedged expected transaction is probable, (4) removing
LIBOR as an appropriate benchmark interest rate for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an
interest rate swap, (5) identifying a Secured Overnight Financing Rate and the Effective Federal Funds
Rate as appropriate benchmark interest rates for the qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of an
interest rate swap, (6) clarifying the definition of reference rate, as it is used in Statement 53, as amended,
(7) providing an exception to the lease modifications guidance in Statement 87, as amended, for certain
lease contracts that are amended solely to replace an IBOR as the rate upon which variable payments
depend. The requirements of this Statement, except for paragraph 11b, are effective for OCTA's fiscal year
ending June 30, 2021. The requirement in paragraph 11b is effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending June
30, 2022. GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative
Guidance, postponed the effective date of paragraphs 13 and 14 of this Statement by one year. OCTA has
not determined the effect of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 94
In March 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 94, Public -Private and Public -Public Partnerships and
Availability Payment Arrangements. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve financial
reporting by addressing issues related to public -private and public -public partnership arrangements.
This Statement is effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. OCTA has not determined the
effect of this Statement.
GASB Statement No. 96
In May 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 96, Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements.
This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription -based
information technology arrangements for government end users (governments). This Statement is
effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. OCTA has not determined the effect of this
Statement.

GASB Statement No. 97
In June 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 97, Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. The primary
objectives of this Statement are to (1) increase consistency and comparability related to the reporting of
fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not have a
governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically
would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of certain defined contribution pension
plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, and employee benefit plans
other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary component units in
fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of the
accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 deferred compensation
plans (Section 457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided
through those plans. Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Statement are effective immediately, and the
remaining paragraphs of this Statement are effective for OCTA's fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.
The implementation of paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Statement did not have a material effect on the financial
statements. OCTA has not determined the effect of the remaining paragraphs of this Statement.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund (the Fund),
an enterprise fund of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (the Commission) as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of
contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund of the Commission, as ofJune 30, 2020, and the
changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund and do not
purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the Commission as ofJune 30, 2020, the
changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is
not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do
not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do
not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020

County Transportation Commission, we offer readers of the Fund financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the Fund's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. We
encourage readers to consider information on financial performance presented in conjunction with the
financial statements that begin on page 9.
Financial Highlights
• At the end of fiscal year (FY) 2019/20, the total net position (deficit) of the Fund was ($276,232,056)
and consisted of net investment (deficit) in capital assets of ($320,213,988) and restricted net
position of $43,981,932.
• Net position (deficit) of ($276,232,056) during FY 2019/20 reflects the position after the third full
year of toll operations. The eight -mile stretch between Interstate 15 and the Orange/Riverside
County line and a tolled direct connector reached substantial completion and opened to motorists
on March 20, 2017.
• In FY 2019/20, total operating revenues of $56,440,369 include toll, violation penalty, and
account fee revenues and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) reimbursements. Total
operating expenses of $24,536,873 include roadway and toll systems maintenance, customer
service, back office operations, other support costs, and depreciation and amortization.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Fund's financial statements.
The financial statements are comprised of the Fund financial statements and notes to the financial
statements.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the Fund's assets, liabilities, and deferred
outflows/inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Fund is
improving or deteriorating.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net position presents information showing
how the Fund's net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as
soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported for some items that will only result in cash flows in
future fiscal periods.
The statement of cash flows presents information on the cash flows related to operating, noncapital
financing, capital and related financing, and investing activities.
The Fund financial statements can be found on pages 9-12 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding
of the data provided in the financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 13-25 of this report.

the total net position (deficit) in FY 2019/20. The Fund's net position reflects its investment in capital
assets (i.e., land and land improvements; buildings; toll infrastructure; equipment, furniture and fixtures;
transponders; and toll facility franchise), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire these assets.
The Fund uses these capital assets, which include intangible assets, to provide improved mobility for the
Fund customers and commuters along the State Route (SR) -91 corridor.
Restricted net position, representing resources subject to external restrictions on how they may be used,

The Fund's total operating revenues decreased $1,983,092, or 3%, due to decreased traffic volumes
from March through June 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, the 91 Express Lanes temporarily suspended account fees and stopped the escalation of
outstanding violations to the collection agency, which are scheduled to resume October 1, 2020. Total
operating expenses increased $1,161,830, or 5%, due to increases in operations costs, professional
services, and depreciation. Nonoperating expenses, net increased $2,628,589, or 9%, primarily due to
increased investment income offset by the loss on the sale of excess land purchased for the 91 Project.
Net transfers from the Commission decreased by $966,721 as a result of the transfer of surplus funds to
fund the 91 Corridor Operations and 15/91 Express Lanes Connector projects. Total traffic volume on
the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund during FY 2019/20 was approximately 36,207,200 trips compared to
37,900,600 trips in FY 2018/19.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
Economic and Other Factors
The Fund makes up $28,896,900 or 5% of Commission's FY 2020/21 revenue budget. In FY 2020/21, toll
and non -toll revenues are forecasted to decrease by 58% over the FY 2019/20 budget. This decrease
is based on estimated toll transactions and current traffic and revenue data resulting from impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2020. The RCTC 91 Express Lanes have exceeded initial
expectations and the Commission's traffic consultant updated the investment grade and traffic and
revenue study in December 2018. The average projected long-term rate of growth for toll road revenues
beyond FY 2020/21 is 4.9%.
The majority of expenses related to the Fund within FY 2020/21 budget are on -going general costs
related to day-to-day operations of the toll facility. As a fully electronic toll facility, motorists pay tolls
through the convenient use of FasTrak® transponders that automatically deduct toll charges from a
prepaid account.
Under a cooperative agreement entered into with OCTA in December 2011, the RCTC 91 Express Lanes
are jointly operated with the OCTA 91 Express Lanes and collectively referred to as the 91 Express Lanes.
The Commission and OCTA agreed on the use of the same initial operator, cost and revenue sharing,
toll policies, business rules, interoperability of technology, and shared marketing activities. The joint
operation allows for the sharing of costs and a seamless customer experience.

RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
Note 1. Reporting Entity
After more than a decade of work, which includes approximately three years of construction, the
Riverside County Transportation Commission (Commission) achieved substantial completion on the SR -
91 Corridor Improvement (91 Project) on March 20, 2017, including express lane and general purpose
lane improvements. In achieving substantial completion, the RCTC 91 Express Lanes opened to traffic
and tolling commenced. The RCTC 91 Express Lanes cover an eight -mile stretch on State Route 91 (SR -
91) between Interstate 15 (1-15) and the Orange/Riverside County line and a tolled direct connector.
The RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund (Fund) is reported as a major enterprise fund in the Commission's
basic financial statements. The accompanying financial statements present the net position, changes in
net position, and cash flows of the Fund only. They do not purport to, and do not, present the overall
financial position of the Commission or its changes in net position as of June 30, 2020.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Fund are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the
accepted standard -setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting principles.
Basis of Accounting: The financial statements of the Fund are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues consisting substantially of tolls and
fees, are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless
of the timing of related cash flows. Toll revenue is recognized when the customers utilize the toll road
facility and payment is collected.
Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with an enterprise fund's
principal and ongoing operations.The principal operating revenues of the Fund are chargesto customers
for use of the toll facility. Operating expenses for the Fund include the cost of services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation and amortization on capital and intangible assets. All revenues and expenses
not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Violations: Violations consist of uncollected violation tolls and penalties. Unpaid violations of
$75,593,997 as of June 30, 2020 are not recognized as revenue until payment is received. If violations
and penalties remain owed for more than 90 days, they are turned over to the collection agency. Unpaid
violations remain recorded for a period of four years in accordance with the statute of limitations, at
which time, they will be deemed uncollectible.
Cash and investments: The Commission maintains cash and investments in accordance with the
Investment Policy adopted by the Board of Commissioners in March 2019. The Investment Policy
complies with the California Government Code (Code). Investments of bond proceeds as permitted by
the applicable debt documents are maintained with U.S. Bank as trustee. Separate investment accounts
are maintained for the proceeds of bond issues, with the earnings for each bond issue accounted for
separately. The Fund participates in the Riverside County Pooled Investment Fund (RCPIF). Cash from
other Commission revenue sources is commingled for investment purposes in the RCPIF, with investment
earnings allocated to the different accounts based on average daily account balances.
The Commission holds investments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Investments in
U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. agency securities, corporate notes, mortgage and asset -backed securities,
and municipal bonds are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, except for money market
investments, which are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The RCPIF is carried at
fair value based on the value of each participating dollar as provided by RCPIF.

RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Cash and cash equivalents: For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Commission considers
all short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All
deposits, commercial paper notes, money market funds, negotiable certificates of deposit, and the
Fund's share of the RCPIF represent cash and cash equivalents for cash flow purposes.
Restricted cash and investments: Investments set aside in the Senior Lien Obligations Reserve Fund,
Senior Lien Capitalized Interest Fund, Residual Fund Scheduled Retained Balance Fund, and Toll Revenue
Fund are pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Indenture and their use is limited by applicable debt terms
and conditions.
Permitted investments per the debt indentures include government obligations, State of California
and local agency obligations, banker's acceptances, commercial paper notes, negotiable certificates
of deposit, repurchase agreements, money market funds, other mutual funds, investment agreements,
RCPIF, and variable and floating rate securities.
Receivables: Accounts receivables include amounts due from other California toll road agencies related
to their customers' use of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes, as well as amounts owed from the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) in accordance with a cooperative agreement.
Capital assets: Capital assets include land and land improvements; toll infrastructure; buildings;
equipment, furniture and fixtures; toll facility franchise; and transponders. Capital assets are defined by
the Fund as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and a useful life in excess of three
years. It is also the Fund's policy to capitalize transponder purchases, as they are considered a significant
class of assets even though individually under $5,000. Such assets are recorded at historical cost. The
costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add value to the asset or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Type Useful Life
Buildings 10 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 3 to 5 years
Toll facility franchise 50 years
Toll infrastructure 5 to 10 years
Transponders 5 years
In May 2012 the Commission entered into a toll facility agreement with California's Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and obtained authority to toll the SR -91 from the Orange County/Riverside
County line to 1-15 for 50 years commencing as of the first day on which the RCTC 91 Express Lanes
open for public use and toll operations. The RCTC 91 Express Lanes opened on March 20, 2017.
Deferred outflows of resources: In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, represents a
consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expense) until then. As of June 30, 2020, the Fund has deferred outflows of resources
related to pension and other post -employment benefits (OPEB).

RCTC 91 Express Lanes Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Due to other Commission funds: During the course of operations, transactions occur between
Commission governmental funds involving goods provided and services rendered.
Compensated absences: Vacation hours accumulated and not taken at year-end is reported as a long-
term liability, net of current portion, in the Fund.
Sick leave is recorded as an expense when taken by the employee. Employees with continuous five years
of service have the option of being paid for sick leave accumulated in excess of 240 hours at a rate of
50% (i.e., one hour's pay for every two hours in excess of 240). Any sick leave in excess of 240 hours is
accrued at fiscal year-end, and a liability is reported in the Fund.
Pensions: For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of
resources related to pensions and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the
Commission's California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) plans (Plans) and additions
to/deduction from Plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by CaIPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions)
are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair
value.
Post -employment benefits other than pensions: For purposes of measuring the net OPEB asset,
deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to the OPEB asset and OPEB expense, information
about the fiduciary net position of the Commission's OPEB plan, and additions to/deductions from the
OPEB fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by California
Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust administered by CaIPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments are
recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair
value, except for money markets and participating interest -earning investment contracts that have a
maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less, which is reported at cost.
Deferred inflows of resources: In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate
section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, represents an
acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of
resources, or revenue, until then. The Fund has deferred inflows of resources related to pension and
other post -employment benefits.
Risk management: The Fund purchases commercial property insurance including business interruption,
earthquake, and flood coverage related to the toll facility.
Net position: Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflow of resources
and liabilities plus deferred inflow of resources and is classified into two categories:
• Net investment (deficit) in capital assets consists of capital and intangible assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the
acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and excludes unspent debt proceeds.
• Restricted net position represents restricted assets less liabilities related to those assets.
Restricted assets are recorded when there are limitations imposed by creditors (such as through
debt covenants). The statement of net position includes restricted net position for the portion of
net toll revenues restricted by the 2013 Master Indenture for toll operations.
The deficit in net investment in capital assets will be reduced by future toll revenues for the payment of
outstanding toll obligations.

Fair Value Hierarchy: The Commission categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value
hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the
valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active
market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are based on similar observable assets either directly or
indirectly, which may include inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and Level 3 inputs
are significant unobservable inputs (the Commission does not value any of its investments using Level
3 inputs).

The weighted average maturity is calculated using the investment's effective duration weighted by the
investment's fair value.
As of June 30, 2020, mortgage and asset -backed securities totaled $30,727,113. The underlying assets
are consumer receivables that include credit cards, auto/equipment, and home loans. The securities
have a fixed interest rate and are rated Aaa/AA+ at least two of the three nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations.
Deposits and withdrawals in the RCPIF are made on the basis of $1.00 (cost basis) and not fair value.
Accordingly, the Fund's investment at June 30, 2020 is uncategorized, not defined as Level 1, Level 2, or
Level 3 input.
Interest rate risk: While the Commission does not have a formal policy related to the interest rate risk
of investments, the Commission's investment policy follows the Code as it relates to limits on investment
maturities as a means of managing exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. In
accordance with the Commission's investment policy, restricted investments are invested in accordance
with the maturity provisions of the specific bond indenture, which may extend beyond five years.
Custodial credit risk: Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a
depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk
for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker -dealer) to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities
that are in the possession of another party. The Commission's investment policy requires that a third
party bank trust department hold all securities owned by the Commission. All trades are settled on a
delivery versus payment basis through the Commission's safekeeping agent.
The Fund has deposits with a bank balance of $145,362 with a financial institution; bank balances
over $5,000,000 are swept daily into a money market account. Of the bank balance, up to $250,000
is federally insured under the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation with balances in excess of

$250,000 collateralized in accordance with the Code; however, the collateralized securities are not held
in the name of the Commission.
Credit risk: The Commission's investment policy as well as the specific bond indentures set minimum
acceptable credit ratings for investments from any of the three nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. The following table is a summary of the credit quality distribution and concentration of
credit risk by investment type as a percentage of each category's fair value at June 30, 2020; securities

2013 Toll Revenue Bonds, Series B (Capital Appreciation Obligation):
Outstanding
In July 2013, the Commission issued $52,829,600 principal amount of serial capital
appreciation bonds (CABs) to fund a portion of the 91 Project, pay capitalized interest
during construction, fund a debt service reserve fund, fund an initial amount for
an operations and maintenance fund, and pay costs of issuance. The CABs will not
pay current interest as interest will be compounded commencing December 2013
semiannually and paid at maturity. Therefore, the CABs will increase in value, or accrete,
by the accumulation of such compounded interest from its initial principal amount to
the maturity value in installments ranging from $3,440,000 to $34,220,000 on various
dates from June 1, 2022 through June 1, 2043. Interest rates and yield to maturity
range from 5.30% to 7.15%. During 2020, the accretion amount was $5,150,812; the
aggregate accretion through June 30, 2020 is $29,921,493.

In connection with the issuance of the 2013 Toll Revenue Bonds consisting of the CIBs and CABs, a debt
service reserve of $17,665,460 and an operations and maintenance fund of $3,137,666 were established.
Upon opening of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes in March 2017, the operations and maintenance fund
was transferred from the trustee to the Commission for operations. Additionally, the toll indenture and
TIFIA loan agreement require the Commission to establish a subordinate obligations reserve fund of
$20,000,000 no later than July 1, 2019. The $20,000,000 reserve was funded in June 2019 from the
proceeds of the sale of excess properties on the SR -91 and surplus revenues.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Cooperative agreements: The RCTC SR -91 Express lanes are jointly operated with the existing OCTA
91 Express Lanes and collectively referred to as the 91 Express Lanes.
Under the Orange -Riverside Cooperative Agreement, which was entered into in December 2011, the
Commission and OCTA agreed on the use of the same initial toll operator, cost and revenue sharing, toll
policies, business rules, interoperability of technology, and marketing activities as well as OCTA review
of design plans and construction activities for the 91 Project.
In May 2013 the Commission entered into a three -party agreement with OCTA and the third -party
toll operator, for the operations of the 91 Express Lanes. This will ensure streamlined and consistent
intercounty travel for motorists on the OCTA 91 Express Lanes in Orange County and RCTC 91 Express
Lanes in Riverside County. The third -party operator provides operating services to the Commission in the
annual amount of $6,942,600 plus inflation for three initial years with two one-year extension options,
subject to Board of Commissioners approval. The third -party operator is responsible for the day-to-
day operations of the toll facility; another contractor is responsible for maintaining the roadside toll
collection system under a separate agreement with the Commission. The agreement with the third -party
operator expires on December 31, 2021, as amended in September 2019.
In November 2019, the Commission awarded an agreement to the third -party operator to develop and
install a new back office system and to provide express lane operator services, including the back office

and customer services center. The third -party operator has a separate contract with OCTA. Each contract
has a five-year term, plus two 3 -year options, to operate both the OCTA and RCTC 91 Express Lanes. The
operating term begins July 2021.
Purchase commitments: The Fund has entered into other agreements in the ordinary course of
business with companies and other governmental agencies related to operations and maintenance.
These agreements, which are significant, are funded with available and future revenues.
Note 8. Pensions and Other Post -Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Fund participates in the Commission's cost -sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension
plan administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the Commission's OPEB.
Employees of the Fund are employees of the Commission as a whole. The required note disclosures
regarding pension plans and OPEB are included in the Commission's financial statements. Please see
those financial statements for information about the pension plans and OPEB as a whole.
The net pension liability of $673,906 and net OPEB asset of $43,436, reported by the Fund, represent
the Fund's proportional share of the Commission's net pension liability of $8,921,123 and net OPEB
asset of $575,000. The Fund's net pension liability and net OPEB asset each represent 7.55% of the
Commission's net pension liability and net OPEB asset, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2020,
the Fund's contributions recognized as part of pension and OPEB expenses were $529,400 and ($5,200),
respectively.
