July 7, 1986
1. Call to Order.
The meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee was called to
order by Chairman Terry Allen at 1:35 P.M. on July 7, 1986 at the
Riverside Transit Agency Administrative Center, 1825 Third
Street, Riverside.
Members present:

2. Approval of Minutes.
M/S/C (CAMERON/KENNA) to approve the minutes of the May 5,
1986 meeting.
3. Transit Operations Quarterly Report.
Paul Blackwelder, Assistant Director, informed the Committee that
total ridership in the third quarter was 1.22 million passengers.
Total operating costs increased 17.2% over last year. The year-
to-date costs were 16.9% higher than last year primarily due to
higher insurance premiums paid by transit operators and service
expansions. Subsidy per passenger trip has gone up from $1.71 to
$1.89. RTA's average subsidy per passenger trip increased by
14.9% and SunLine's subsidy per passenger trip remained the same
as last year because of increased ridership. Both RTA and Sun -
Line are projecting to meet the minimum required fare revenue
ratios next year without increasing transit fares.
Bill Freeman inquired on the type of service that the SunLine
intervalley handicapped dial -a -ride provides.
Paul Blackwelder responded that the service is provided in the
morning and the afternoon to transport handicapped people to the
Fetch Center.

4. Highway 79 (Lambs Canyon) Update.
Copies of Nick Davies' letter indicating the status on improve-
ments to Lambs Canyon were distributed to Committee members.
Herb Krauch stated that Caltrans kept the warning sign at the
same location but moved it higher and drivers are now able to
view cars coming down the grade. The missing reflectors, though,
have not been replaced.
Paul Blackwelder stated that Nick Davies acknowledged that guard-
rails are needed in some segments of Lambs Canyon and Caltrans
has included the guardrail project in the program. However,
because the project is such of low priority, it will take ap-
proximately two years for the guardrails to be installed.
Joanne Moore reported that Caltrans have made improvements to the
turnouts along Route 74 (Ortega).
5. Additional Items.
A. Chairman Allen informed the Committee that he had met with
Tex Williams, who supervises the Hemet dial -a -ride service
to discuss service problems. The main problem is that buses
are tied up between the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. when handicapped children are trans-
ported to and from the centers. Tex Williams was invited
to become a member of the Hemet Chamber of Commerce
Transportation Committee in an effort to resolve operational
problems. Other members of that committee are Jesse Roach
and Scott Carpenter of RTA.
B. Herb Krauch noted from previous RCTC minutes that limited
service is available (via Line 27 and Meditrans) to Loma
Linda Hospital. He pointed out that when the service be-
tween the San Gorgonio Pass area and Hemet is initiated,
residents from the Pass area would be able to use the
Beaumont service to Loma Linda.
C. Scott Richardson, Marketing Director of RTA, briefed the
Committee on RTA's marketing program which includes: 1) an
RTA awareness campaign; 2) efforts to attract ridership on
low patronized routes; 3) hiring a Community Relations
Representative; and, 4) improving the information center's
efficiency. He announced that RTA will now be doing the
advertising in-house and that service announcements and
radio advertisements will be increased. He informed the
Commission members of RTA's plan to redesign the bus
tickets. He is also working with the Riverside Beautifi-
cation Campaign in an effort to develop ways to keep bus
stops clean. He informed the Committee that an open house
for the public to view the new Maintenance/Administration
Center will be held on September 19th.
2
6. RTA Maintenance/Administration Center Tour.
The Committee members were divided into two groups and toured
RTA's Maintenance/Administration Center.
7. Adjournment.
The meeting adjourned at 3:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul Blackwelder

ITEM NO. 3
R IVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
TO: Citizens Advisory Committee
FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Assistant Director
SUBJECT: Quarterly Transit Operations Report
The attached table and graphs show transit operations data for
the Riverside County public transit operators during the fourth
quarter of the year, April 1, 1986 -June 30, 1986. The infor-
mation needed to prepare this report was provided by the oper-
ators.
Ridership
Total ridership in the fourth quarter was 1.2 million passengers,
an increase of 2.7% over the fourth quarter of last year.
Attachment II shows that ridership in the fourth quarter has
risen in each of the last 5 years. The most significant increase
was 20.1% reported by the SunLine Transit Agency (see Attachment
III). Ridership for the full fiscal year 1985/86 was 4.6 million
passengers, an increase of 7.1% over the previous year. Annual
ridership has increased in each of the past 3 years. The FY
1985/86 ridership is 30.2%% higher than FY 1982/83.
Operating Costs And Bubsidies
Total operating costs for the fourth quarter were $2.8 million.
Total costs for the year were $10.9 million, an increase of 12.8%
over last year. The cost increase was primarily caused by much
higher insurance costs and an increase in service of approximate-
ly 8%. The cost increase was higher than the ridership increase
and the average subsidy per passenger increased from $1.79 last
year to $1.91 this year.
Attachments V and VI show the subsidy per passenger trip for
services operated by RTA and by SunLine during the fourth quarter
of the year. Efforts to reduce the high subsidy per passenger
trip are discussed in Agenda Item 4.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
TO: Citizens Advisory Committee
FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Assistant Director
SUBJECT: RTA and SunLine Efforts to Reduce Subsidies/Increase
Fare Revenues
The State Transit Assistance Program was bluelined by the
Governor in the State Budget for FY 1986/87. The result wars a
reduction in transit revenues for Riverside County of approxi-
mately $1.5 million. The majority of these funds were used for
operating subsidies for the RTA and SunLine services with the
remainder used for capital assistance for all of the public
transit operators. The RTA and SunLine managers were advised of
this funding cut and were requested to identify service
reductions that should be made to reduce subsidy requirements and
to consider fare increases to help offset the impact of re-
duced funding. The additional funds required to fully subsidize
these two operators will be provided from available TDA revenues.
SunLIne Transit Agency
The SunLine Transit Agency operated 11 services in FY 1986/87.
The high subsidy per passenger services were the Palm Desert
Trolley, the dial -a -ride services, and Line 4 (La Quinta-Palm
Desert). In FY 1986/87, the Palm Desert Trolley will not be
operated by SunLine. Saturday service on the Desert Hot Springs
dial -a -ride will not be operated during the winter season. Con-
tracts to provide dial -a -ride services have been revised to
reduce the subsidy per passenger paid to the contractors pro-
viding service in Palm Desert, Palm Springs and Cathedral City.
Line 4 (La Quinta-Palm Desert) routing will be revised in
November to serve a new school, an industrial complex and the
Marriott Hotel complex expected to employ 1200 persons.
Fare increases were not proposed for this fiscal year. The base
fare is currently $0.50. There are zone fares of $0.25 each for
up to four zones on the intercity lines 19 and 20. Transfers
between lines cost $0.25. Since the majority of passengers
travel more than one zone or transfer between lines, their one-
way fare is already $0.75 or more. SunLine would rather increase
fare revenue through increased ridership. The ridership increase
this past year was 20.1%. A fare increase may be considered
later in the year if ridership does not continue to increase as
it has for the past two years.
Agenda Item No. 4
October 6, 1986
Ri.yerside Transit Agency
The Riverside Transit Agency operates considerably more service
than SunLine providing more opportunity to identify reductions to
improve efficiency. The majority of the fixed route RTA riders
pay the base fare and no zone charges. The RTA base fare is
$0.55 and has not been increased since April, 1984. A fixed
route fare increase of $0.05 is being proposed for all fare
categories. The increase is not expected to impact ridership and
would generate an additional $153,000 in fare revenue.
The high subsidy per passenger trip services operated by RTA are
Line 30 (Hemet), Line 19 (Perris -Moreno Valley) and Line 17 '(UCR-
Riverside Plaza). The attachments provided by RTA identify pro-
posed reductions for these services and selected runs on other
services on which ridership is low. Savings could be as high as
$277,000 per year depending upon which services are eliminated.
A representative from RTA will attend the meeting to discuss the
proposed service changes and fare increase. Public hearings are
scheduled to be held on October 22nd and 24th in San Jacinto,
Hemet, Riverside and Moreno Valley to evaluate the proposals.
The public will be notified of the hearings through notices in
the newspaper and by flyers on RTA buses.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
TO: Citizens Advisory Committee
FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Assistant Director
SUBJECT: Status of Banning/Beaumont to Hemet Route
The Riverside Transit Agency started a new transit service, Route
31, from Banning/Beaumont to Hemet on September 8, 1986. The new
service operates. Monday -Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on a
90 -minute fequency. Transfers between Route 31 and the local
services in Banning and Beaumont are coordinated at the San
Gorgonio Pass Hdspital. The fare is $0.80 one way with a 50%
discount for elderly and handicapped persons. Passengers trans-
ferring from the local services in the Pass area are charged
$0.25.
Ridership on this new line during the first three weeks of
service has been as follows:
9/8-9/12 9/13-9/19 9/22-9/26
Monday 26 33 30
Tuesday 58 32 28
Wednesday 82 41
Thursday 76 26
Friday 124 27
Total 366
Avg/Day 73
159
32
This service was started as an experimental service for 6 months
to determine actual demand for service from the Pass area to
Hemet. The need for service was identified in the Commission's
unmet transit needs hearings and in a study conducted by RTA with
assistance from Commission staff. The goal for successful oper-
ation after 6 months is an average of 70 passengers per day with
a subsidy/passenger trip of no more than $4.00.
The RTA marketing efforts to date have included the following.
Fares were not charged during the first week of service. News
releases were mailed to radio stations and newspapers in the
area. Feature articles on the new service appeared in the Hemet
News, San Jacinto Register and the Banning Gazette. Schedules
are made available through the local operators in the Pass area
and in Hemet. The Beaumont representative to the RTA Board,
Councilman Fred Shaw, indicates that he is promoting the service

AcTenda Item No. 6
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Barry Beck, Executive Director
SUBJECT: FY 1986/87 SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Project
Program
Eleven projects have been submitted for funding under the FY
1986/87 SB 821 Program. The SB 821 Project Evaluation
Committee, consisting of members of the Commission's
Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees, have reviewed
the projects. Attached is the priority list and recommended
allocations developed by the Evaluation Committee.
The Evaluation Committee recommends full funding for the top
7 ranked projects. Because of insufficient remaining funds,
the Committee recommends only partial funding for the Blythe
and Palm Desert projects. The representative from Blythe
agreed to downscope their project to a cost of $20,000. The
allocation to Palm Desert should be contingent on Palm
Desert providing local funds necessary to fully fund the
project.
RECOM €ENDATION
Approve the SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Project Program
recommended by the SB 821 Project Evaluation Committee.
