TDA allocation for planning and administration, and for commuter rail. Actual Measure A sales tax receipts are up 6.30 over the prior year quarter, and up 8.4% for the six month period ending December 31,1995. DMV User Fees DMV user fees have only been received through the month of October. The State has historically been two months behind in remitting DMV user fees. Interest Income Interest income from the County is posted quarterly in arrears. Second quarter interest earnings will not be totally posted by the County until February. Interest earnings on the guaranteed investment contract are paid semiannually on July 1 and January 1. Reimbursements Some CMAQ funding was received subsequent to December 31. However, most of the remaining amount has been billed and is expected no later than May 1996. Other Income Other income service that amounts are programs. EXPENDITURES Office Lease consists of $2.8 million due from CVAG for bond debt will be billed and received prior to year end. Other principally due from the state for the FSP and ITS This category shows slightly over budget because the Commission had paid its lease through January 1996. Planning and programming This is a new category that isolates consultant and legal expenditures for the Commission's TDA and CMP related activities. Other Program Expenditures This is a new category containing primarily highway related soft costs and other expenditures not specifically engineering or construction including but not limited to legal, staff, and litigation settlements. Commuter rail Station construction cost occurred principally in the first six months of the year. Contribution requirements for the SCRRA were paid through the third quarter by December. General Note: The first quarter of the year is primarily directed toward completing end of the year activities. Most vendors do not even began to bill us for current year activities until the month of September. Therefore, first half of the year numbers typically are considerably under budget. Most of the categories will begin to reflect more accurately in relation to the budget by third quarter of the fiscal year. • • Riversinty Transportati on Commission Investment P ortfolio Report Quarter Ending Dec ember 31, 1995 Cash with County Treasurer Bank of America Operating Acco unt Imprest Account Special Events Account To tal Bank of America O perating AMBAC Investment Agreement Pacific Ho rizons(First Trust Bank as trustee) CAMP MBIA Investment Agreement Federal Natio nal Mortgage Association Medium Term Note du e 12/8/97 $3,009,465 .26 $6,044 .94 $13.42 Operati ng F unds $3,015,523.62 • Po ol ed Fu nds $49,541,273 .68 Bond Pr otect Fu nds $44,339,331 .68 $3,580,869.43 $2,142,749 .87 Debt Reser ve F und s $7,834,936.51 $472,327 .92 $12,549,440.00 $10,821,823 .44 Fu nds Held I n�� Total $2,008,437 .05 $51,549,710.73 $3,015,523 .62 $44,339,331.68 $11,415,806.34 $2,615,077.79 $12,549,440.00 $10,821,823 .44 $3,015,523. 62 $49,541,273. 68 $50,062,951. 38 $31,678,527 .87 $2,008,437 .05 $136,306,713 .60 Cash with County Treasurer: A copy of the Investment Portfolio Report for the County of Ri verside Treasury prepared by Wayne Watts, Cou nty Treasurer is attached for review .

The budget will be mailed under separate cover. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission receive and file. :jw • • " DATE: TO: FROM: RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION March 6, 1996 Budget and Finance Committee Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: Proposed RTIP Programming of $1 million "Demonstration Funding" for Route 71 Studies to Support SCAG Mediation Process During the FY '94 session, Congressman Kim was able to secure $1 million of demonstration funding" for project development work on Route 71. There is some confusion at this point (i.e., 2/28/96) as to whether this money is already programmed and spent for engineering for the safety (i.e., SHOPP)-project to make the existing one - lane in each direction safer, or if that money has been double programmed by both RCTC and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). A meeting is to be called for next week with representatives of RCTC, OCTA, Caltrans Districts 8 and 12, and Orange County Flood Control District to clarify the status of total project funding commitments, including our flexibility regarding the programming of demonstration funds. This item is submitted as a "place holder", assuming RCTC has the ability to reprogram the "demonstration funds" to reflect the most current developments from multi -agency discussions of longer -range Route 71 issues. As indicated by Agenda Item "Status Report on Route 71" (attached) such agreement appears to now exist for the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to act as lead agency to perform studies to support a formal mediation process related to a future Route 71 capacity project. The elements of the study would include (1) determination of project scope, (2) determination of appropriate financing for the project, and (3) screenline check of additional environmental issues and satisfaction of federal "major investment strategy" requirements. This memorandum constitutes a "place holder" for SCAG's package, assuming we have the ability to reprogram the funds. Matching funds are required. We are still in the process of determining the percentage requirement for such matching funds. Normally, 20% is required, but a lower percentage is allowed in California in consideration of the extent of federally owned lands within the state; the match may be as low as 11.5%. SCAG has indicated that local agencies would need to provide the match so that their Overall Work Program process is not jeopardized. Matching fund options include the following: 1. Credit for overmatch of RCTC funding to WRCOG for FY 1996-97. Most likely, RCTC will provide more funding to WRCOG (subject to an acceptable scope of proposed WRCOG work) than is necessary to match funds they will receive from SCAG. In a "blended" OWP, SCAG might use the Page 2 overmatch to access the Si million "demonstration funds". However, it is doubtful if this would be acceptable to SCAG, since it would have the same effect as SCAG providing the matching funds since the budget for the specific Route 71 work would have to equal the $1 million plus match amount. 2. In -kind match from affected agencies. This would probably be acceptable for the value of "staff" support of affected agencies. However, RCTC would most likely want to use Bechtel to provide the work on Route 71 HOT lanes conceptualization and costing which might be used as match. Given federal limitations on third -party contracts and the need to select consultants through a formal process, it is doubtful that such an approach would be acceptable. The Commission should be advised that some work from Bechtel would probably be required which would not be covered by either the "demonstration funding" or match. 3. Cash match 'divided between RCTC and SANBAG. SANBAG representatives have indicated they could provide their share of matching funds from Measure I, since Route 71 was included in their voter approved sales tax measure. RCTC's Measure A did not include funding for Route 71, but if the studies include analysis of RCTC's proposed project alternatives which would provide some element of protection of the Route 91 capacity, it should be eligible for our sales tax funding support. Counsel is researching this potential. An alternative source of cash match might be Local Transportation Fund planning money which might otherwise be allocated to WRCOG; however, this may be contrary to the policy position taken by our Commission during its February 14, 1996 meeting (i.e., Agenda Item 7A of the 14th meeting). RCTC STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Assuming the flexibility exists to reprogram "demonstration funding", approve reprogramming of the $1 million of Route 71 "demonstration funding" to SCAG for studies to support formal mediation process for a future capacity project. Providing it is acceptable to SCAG, the source of the preferred matching funds would be "in kind" expenditures of RCTC for Bechtel services. If SCAG determines that the match must be "cash", then the Commission should make its determination if it would choose Measure A or LTF planning funds. :jw DATE: TO: RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION March 6, 1996 Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Award Contract to Harris and Associates to provide Construction Management Services for the construction of the Yuma Interchange Under a separate agenda item, RCTC is requested to enter into a "Cooperative Agreement for Construction Management" with the City of Norco who is the lead agency for the Yuma Interchange project. Subject to the approval of the MOU by RCTC, Staff recommends that RCTC award a contract to Harris and Associates to provide Construction Management Services for the Yuma Interchange project. Harris and Associates is the next (6th) firm on the Construction Management Selection list that was created in 1993, and has not previously been awarded work from RCTC. Based on direction from RCTC at its November 8, 1995 meeting, Staff issued a proposal to Harris and Associates to perform the Construction Management services for the Yuma project. If the contract is approved, Harris and Associates will be responsible for providing the project resident engineer, inspectors, material testing, and construction surveying. They will report to RCTC Staff pursuant to the terms of the "Cooperative Agreement for Construction Management" referenced above. Prior to award of the construction contract they will assist RCTC by providing an independent review of the construction drawings, preparation of bid documents, project advertisement, and evaluation of bids. RCTC Staff is still negotiating the scope of the contract with Harris and Associates. The RCTC agreement for construction management services will be used as the basis of the agreement. The final scope, schedule and cost for the agreement will be presented at the Budget and Finance meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission award the Construction Management Services Agreement for the Yuma Interchange Project to Harris and Associates. The scope, schedule and cost of the Agreement will be presented at the Budget and Finance Meeting. The Harris and Associates agreement will use the latest version of the RCTC Construction Management model agreement. :jw Page 3 for Route 71; providing the studies include consideration of RCTC's alternative in relation to Route 91, we may be able to use Measure A funds.) It is necessary for RCTC to program ttie $1 million and matching funds for inclusion in SCAG's RTIP in order for Caltrans to process FNM 76 authorization for SCAG to be able to access the funding (See Agenda Item "Proposed RTIP Programming of $1 million "Demonstration Funding" for Route 71 Studies to Support SCAG Mediation Process") (attached). :jw Attachment " SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES for the RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION CONSTRUCTION OF STATE HIGHWAY: in Riverside County in Corona and Norco from Corona Avenue Underorossing to 0.2 kilometer north of Second Street District 05, Interstate 15 1.1 pESIGN PHASE SERVICES 1.101 Statements of Probable Construction Cost - HARRIS shall review the construction cost data provided by the Design Engineer and advise RCTC on the acceptability of the data. 1.102 Procurement of Materials and Equipment - HARRIS shall investigate and recommend a schedule for RCTC purchase of materials and equipment requiring long lead time procurement.

The Yuma Interchange project is in Cycle 6 of the SB300 program which requires the construction contract to be awarded by June 30 of 1996. The City of Norco has recently signed a construction Cooperative agreement with Caltrans that designates the City of Norco responsible to advertise, administer and award the construction of the Yuma Interchange. At the November 8, 1995 RCTC meeting, at the request of the City of Norco, the Commission directed RCTC Staff to provide assistance to the City of Norco for the Yuma Interchange construction project, and to negotiate and bring back an agreement for approval whereby RCTC Staff would act on behalf of the City of Norco to advertise, award and administer the Construction of the Yuma interchange. Attached for Commission review and approval is a "Cooperative Agreement for Construction Management" between RCTC and the City of Norco. Under the terms and conditions of this agreement, the City of Norco remains the lead agency and ultimately responsible for project funding and project completion. RCTC Staff will act on the City's behalf and advertise, administer and award the Yuma Interchange construction project. Specifically, RCTC Staff will perform the responsibilities set forth paragraphs (1) through (10) and (12) through (14) of Section I of the Construction Cooperative Agreement between the City of Norco and the State. The Construction Cooperative Agreement is attached to the "Cooperative Agreement for Construction Management" as Appendix "A". RCTC will be contributing 50% of the Yuma construction funds up to a maximum of $5,500,000, from its' Highway Interchange Local Circulation Improvement Program under Measure A. The remaining funds will be obtained from the STIP, the City of Norco, and the City of Corona. The funding arrangement is handled under separate agreement between the participating parties.

The original contract amount was for $410,000. Subsequent to the contract award it was determined that adequate topographic mapping and hydrology data was not available. It was also determined that the City of Indio Staff would require additional assistance with the preparation and handling of public meetings, utility coordination, public agency coordination, as well as the design of street lighting and electrical signals. De Leuw Cather is offering to perform these additional services for an amount of $150,000. Attached is a break down of the estimated costs and a description of the revised scope of work. This project is in Cycle 6 of the SB300 program and must be awarded by June 30, 1996. Recently, staff met with the Caltrans District Director and staff from the City of Indio and reduced the scope of the project in order to be able to complete the project by the SB300 deadline and keep the project within budget. The $150,00 that is required for Amendment #1 to this agreement will remain within the project budget as defined in the governing MOU between RCTC and the City of Indio. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve Amendment #1 to Agreement RO-9525 for an amount of $150,000 that will increase the total contract amount to $560,000.

The City of Indio is approximately 30 miles east-southeast of Palm Springs in the valley, in the arid, "low desert" area of Riverside County, Southern California. This project, for the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), is to improve traffic capacity at the main intersection in the City of Indio by widening the existing State Route 1.11 to six through lanes, with dual left turns at Monroe Street. The project's capacity improvements also include closing access to 46th Street at Monroe Street, currently the fifth leg of the main intersection, and widening Monroe Street both north and south of SR 111. Traffic on 46th Street will be redirected Avenida Del Mar, to connect into Monroe Street 300' to the north with a new signalized intersection. Further to the east on 111 the widening project also adds a new signal and opens up the existing intersection, for all movements, at the central entrances to the retail centers both north and south of Route 111. The project involves, in total, 4 signalized intersections (2 of which are new and required signal warrants), widening the existing SR 111 roadway by adding two through lanes and one turning lane, widening Monroe Street, cul de sac-ing 46th Street, localized dig -outs and pavement repair, creating and installing a Indio landscaping theme for the parkway areas, and installing a drainage system. The De Leuw, Cather contract with RCTC is for preliminary and final design and construction support. These tasks are being done in accordance with Caltrans Project Development requirements and include a Fact Sheet for non-standard features, Combined PSR/PR, Draft and Final PS&E, and design support of construction. The entire project is being done in metric units, including the Right -of -Way Maps, which also show the English units in parenthesis. • Paul Blackwelder Page 4 2/12/96 Five public agencies are involved in the project and are members of the Project Development Team, including Caltrans District 8 and, to a lesser degree, District 11. This was one of many projects changing hands during the Caltrans' district boundary swap between Districts 11 and 8. District 11 had done the preliminary studies and had the historical knowledge of the route and the ``region, but then all the documentation had been sent up to District 8 or lost. This change in Caltrans boundaries gave jurisdiction of the eastern half of Riverside County to District 8, which already had the western half of the county. Other agencies include RCTC as the client, Riverside County for right of way acquisition, Coachella Valley Associated Governments (CVAG), and the City of Indio, which will be responsible for the Construction Management phase. This project provided some unique opportunities for creative design due to limitations of the existing conditions and budget constraints. The first and probably most critical issue had to do with drainage, or lack of such at the project site. Because creating a backbone system to the nearest flood control channel is cost prohibitive, it was determined the most practical solution was to use soft bottom type seepage basins that could both collect the nuisance flows occurring year round and handle storing the design year storm until such time that the water could percolate into the soil. The other challenge the project team faces is to design the improvements in a way that will maintain accessibility and visibility of those businesses affected by the proposed closure of .46th Street (so as to insure they will remain viable after construction is complete). This is to be done while still obtaining appreciable intersection capacity improvements with a concept that will insure Caltrans' Traffic Operations approval of the project. TASK 1. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING This task was originally addressed in the De Leuw letter of July 18, 1995 (attached) asking for additional funds. The cost increase, shown herein, from the July 18th letter is a result of the additional mapping due to Caltrans requiring the project limits be extended to maximize the capacity improvements. TASK 2. FINAL DESIGN SURVEYS It was determined during the review of the Avacon (formerly known as Jaykim) survey during the research and data collection phase of the project, that this information could not be used for the final design as was originally intended by RCTC. This is mainly due to changes in the construction limits for the project and the requirement to have exact control of the "join points." Paul Blackwelder 2/12/96 al • Page 5 TASK 3. INFORMATION MEETING One informational meeting to date has been held, at the City of Indio Council Chambers and another is planned for the mid to late March period. This effort was taken out of our original cost proposal because it was the intent of RCTC to handle the coordination and notification, with support from the City. Due to staffing constraints at RCTC and the City, De Leuw, Cather was called in at the last minute to take the lead in this effort The cost shown is for a total of two public meetings. TASK 4. ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY MAPPING As in TASK 1 above, the additional Right -of -Way (R/W) mapping is a direct result of Caltrans requiring the project limits be extended to maximize the capacity improvements. TASK 5. PUBLIC AGENCIES COORDINATION This effort was taken also out of our original cost proposal because it was the intent of RCTC to handle the coordination and notification, with support from the City. Due to staffing constraints at RCTC and the City, De Leuw, Cather was asked to take the lead in this effort TASK 6. UTILITY COORDINATION For projects on state routes such as this one, Caltrans R/W Utilities Group traditionally handles all coordination and negotiations with utility companies, once notices have been sent out by the project team. During PDT meetings with Caltrans in September and October of 1995 Richard Stanley of Caltrans R/W Department stated that it took Caltrans at least 18 months to handle the R/W and Utility Processes internally on a project and they could not meet the funding deadline of June 1996. It was determined at that time that the PDT would need to look elsewhere for these efforts. The County of Riverside was hired to do the R/W acquisition process and the De Leuw, Cather team would have to take on the utility coordination process, including negotiating and notifying the utilities. TASK 7. ELECTRICAL -SIGNAL & STREET LIGHTING DESIGN During the initial field review in January of this year it was determined that the street lighting on the south side of SR 111 would need to be relocated and electrical - street lighting plans generated. The traffic signal at SR 111 at the Mall Entrance, as well as the signal interconnect hardware along 111 were shown as optional items in the original cost proposal that were not included in the final contract Both of these item have now been added into the project scope. • r • • • Paul Blackwelder 2!12/96 Page 6 TASK 8. HYDROLOGY REPORT Due to the lack of existing contract documents for SR 111 in the project limits, including hydraulic and drainage information, it was not determined until a field review was conducted with City of Indio staff in December 1995 that there were major drainage issues on the project. It was also determined during the December PDT meeting that Nick Skaf of Caltrans would require a full drainage study (since none_ currently exist) on the project to support any proposed drainage improvements. Though it is Caltrans' standard practice to prepare a hydraulic analysis on state routes, it became apparent by June 1995 that there was not any kind of drainage information available on SR 111 within the project limits. There currently exists no accurate estimates of storm water ninoffinto the project site areas. Prior to the selection and design of the drainage system, accurate storm water runoff volumes will be calculated in a hydrology study. It is necessary for this hydrology study to be immediately undertaken in order to calculate off -site runoff volumes tributary to the project site. Upon completion of the hydrologic analysis, a written report will be submitted to RCTC and Caltrans. Upon review and acceptance of the hydrologic data, detailed analyses of the proposed storm drain alternatives can proceed. This task will involve delineating watershed areas adjacent to the project site and performing watershed hydrologic analyses utilizing jurisdictional hydrologic methods and precipitation data. Computations will be performed to establish the surface runoff volumes and to ascertain the discharge values at pertinent locations along the project reach. Preparation of the Preliminary Drainage Report, as design support for system design, will be resubmitted to Caltrans for review and approvals. Project Hydraulics will include the following: Perform design hydraulic analyses of the preferred design alternative and utilize hydraulic analyses for the selection of conduit sizes and inlet types; and Prepared the Drainage Design Report as design support for system design. PS&E Phase II will include the following: Finalize design criteria and documentation; Prepare construction documents including plans, specifications, and cost estimates; Submittal to design review agencies for plan design evaluations and approvals; and Coordinate with agencies, utilities and local jurisdictions for data which may be needed for the project. k: indio%xtra$/reg21296.1tr RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION March 6, 1996 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Cathy Bechtel, Senior Staff Analyst THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director SUBJECT: RTA's FY 1996 Short Range Transit Plan Amendment Attached is the amended Short Range Transit Plan for the Riverside Transit Agency. The Commission originally approved a $19,671,620 operating budget for RTA which included $1,920,953 for the operation of 10 expansion buses for improved service on various lines. When it became apparent that the improved service level could not be sustained over time due to funding shortfalls, the service expansion was not implemented. Instead, the 10 new CNG powered buses were used to replace 10 diesel buses which had met their useful life and were in need of replacement. REVISED OPERATING PLAN This Plan provides for a scaled back operation for the remainder of FY 1996 with a revised operating budget of $18,715,000, a savings of approximately $956,620. A 3% service reduction is proposed through the deletion of some late evening service hours and decreased service frequency on Route 17 between Moreno Valley Mall and the Riverside Plaza effective in April 1996. We would have expected the operating savings to be greater, closer to the $1,920,953 planned for the expanded service level, however RTA discovered that extra board operator time of approximately 3,833 hours per month was inadvertently left out of their original budget. The table below provides a comparison FY 1995 actual performance indicators with projected performance for FY 1996: I I FIXED RTE J.?

RTA's required fare revenue ratio of operating revenues over operating expenses for FY 1996 (combined fixed -route and dial -a -ride) is 17.4%. As of the second quarter of FY 96, RTA's actual fare revenue ratio was just at•the required level. The fare revenue ratio has actually been dropping compared with the last few years. In FY 1995, RTA's required ratio was 17.6% with an actual year-end ratio of 18.4%, while in FY 1994 their required ratio was 17.5% with an actual year- end performance of 18.2%. We recommend that RTA take a close look at the performance of existing service when planning for fiscal year 1997 and look for opportunities to further trim unproductive service hours. With the scaled back operating plan, RTA projects a $506,339 carryover of local transportation funds. At the December 1995 meeting, the Commission approved operators using reasonable judgement to adjust service levels in FY 1996 with the understanding that any funds which were allocated may be retained for transit needs in FY 1997. CAPITAL PLAN The Commission approved the majority of RTA's capital program in January 1996 in conjunction with the federal program of projects. The capital program included in the revised SRTP includes three projects not previously considered by the Commission: • 3 replacement buses $682,000 CMAQ, $78,000 Meas.A, $290,000 Other • 7 replacement w/c lifts $182,000 Measure A • Overhaul 14 Particulate Trap Buses $26,550 CMAQ, $3,450 LTF Staff recommends approval of the purchase of the 7 replacement wheelchair lifts. The other two projects will be considered by the CMAQ Policy Committee on March 4, 1996. Staff will be recommending approval of the overhaul of the particulate trap buses, however is not supportive of the 3 replacement buses. At the beginning of the fiscal year RTA identified a need for 10 replacement buses. As mentioned earlier, the 10 new buses which were to be used for the expansion service were instead used to meet RTA's required bus replacement. RTA has not justified a need for any more buses. CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE/SOCIAL SERVICE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COUNCIL COMMENTS The CAC/SSTAC reviewed the proposed amendment at their meeting of February 26, 1996. A number of concerns/comments were raised at the meeting that the Committee wished to pass on to the Commission and RTA: • There was grave concern that there is a possibility that RTA will not meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act to have full implementation of complementary paratransit service by the January 1997 deadline. The service descriptions included in the revised SRTP do not show plans for service Page 3 • • • improvements in Woodcrest, Highgrove and Norco in FY 1996 or 1997. It is hoped that these plans are still in line, as stated in the recently approved ADA Complementary Service Plan Update, and will be included in the FY 1997 SRTP. • The Committee understands the need to reduce service on unproductive late evening trips, especially with the tight funding picture. It was discussed that there appear to be additional opportunities to trim operating costs. Specifically referenced were the additional costs incurred by the RTA to retain drivers hired for the 10 bus expansion and unproductive service hours on various lines. The Committee recommended that RTA look closely at their costs since there may be opportunities for reallocation of service hours to elsewhere in the system. • Concern was raised that general public Dial -A -Ride is still operated in some areas having community -level fixed route service (i.e. Hemet, Norco, Perris) and that in some cases the dial -a -ride is as productive as the fixed -route service. It was pointed out that there is an opportunity -to make revisions to the level of service, providing either general public dial -a -ride or fixed route (recently this was successfully accomplished in Sun City). The Committee looked at the performance goals by type of service (pg. 26) and raised the comment that in some instances, the performance standard goal is actually less than is currently being realized, e.g. local services are carrying 27 passengers per hour, yet their goal for the year is 26 passengers per hour. Shouldn't the goal be to have improvement, thus having a higher standard? • The operating cost for Meditrans Services is shown on the summary table (after pg 19). The Committee requests that passengers, hours, miles and revenue also be shown, as is done for the other services. The CAC/SSTAC understands the revised amendment is covering service levels through the end of this fiscal year. They offer their suggestions for consideration in the FY 1997-2003 SRTP. CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE/SOCIAL SERVICE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COUNCIL AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve RTA's Amended FY 1996 Short Range Transit Plan with the exception of the purchase of 3 replacement buses and that RTA be directed to address the concerns noted above by staff and the Citizen's Advisory Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council in their upcoming FY 1997- 2003 Short Range Transit Plan update. :jw Attachment RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY REVISED CAPITAL BUDGET #12 CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY FY 1996 CAPITAL ITEM FLEET DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT SUPPORT FLEET FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS OPERATIONS SUPP & EQ MAINTENANCE SUPP & EQ OFFICE SUPP & EQ COM PUTER EQUIP COST • • FTA RIVERSIDE $2,366,000 $3,450 $83,000 433,099 86,620 346,479 82,000 16,400 65,600 FTA HE MET CMAQ $788,500 $708,550 MEASURE A $371,300 AB2766 $301,200 0 83,000 20,600 62,400 60,000 12,000 48,000 575,000 43,000 172,000 140,349 2,070 8,279 67,156 13,431 47,245 PVEA $110,000 STA so 0 0 0 02/26/96 08:27:50 TAKE FINAL 0 6,480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 360,000 130,000 TOTA L $3,806,604 $197;571 $833,003 $794,980 $708,550 $371,300 $301,200 $110,000 $490,000 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY CAPITAL BUDGET FUNDING SOURCES REVENUE FLEET FY 1996 C PT VEH REPLAC SIXTH TROLLEY 3REPLACEMENI 7 W/C LIFTS (920 OVERHAUL 14 P 2 REPLACEMEN TOTAL 02/27/96 14:26:29 TAKE FINAL APITAL ITEM EM ENT (21) (FUNDED FY 95) • COST LTF FTA RIVERSIDE FTA HEMET CMAQ MEASURE A AB2766 PVEA CATEGORY 1,050,000 83,000 788,500 111,300 67,200 FLEET FLEET BUSES W� LIFTS 1,050,000 682,000 78,000 180,000 110,000 FLEET D SERIES) 182,000 182,000 FLEET )ST TRAP BUSES 30,000 3,450 26,550 0 FLEET • BUSES (ADDNL CA616) 54,000 54000 FLEET • $708,550 $2,366,000 $3,450 $83,000 $788,500 $371,300 $301,200 $110,000 $0 • • • RIVEOPIDE TRANSIT AGENCY CAPITAL BUDGET FUNDING SOURCES OPERATI ONS FY 1996 1 • 02/26/96 08:27:50 TAKE FINAL CAPITAL ITEM COST LTF FTA RIVERSIDE FTA HE MET C MAQ MEASURE A AB2766 CATEI FULL SIZE PICKUP (1) 22,000 4,400 17,600 S 1 COMPUTER EQUIPMENT 10,000 2,000 8,000 SUPPORT OPERATION SUPPLIES 20,000 4,000 16,000 COMPUTEF OPER SUPF TOTAL $87,000 $17,400 $69,600 $0 $0 $0 $o $o $o ORY LEET LEET EQUIP & EQUIP RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY CAPITAL BUDGET FUNDING SOURCES MAINTENANCE & STORES FY 1996 02/26/96 08:27:50 TAKE FINAL CAPITAL ITEM COST LTF FTA RIVERSIDE FT A HEMET C MAQ MEASURE A AB2766 PVEA STA CATEGORY FACILITY IIv4PR INDUSTRIAL WATER CLARIFIER $40,000 $8,000 $32,000 (2) STEAM CLEANERS 40,000 8,000 32,000 MAINT SUPP & EQUIP FUELING SYSTEM 100,000 20,000 80,000 MAINT SUPP & EQUIP METHANE DETECTION DEVICES 60,000 60,000 MAINT SUPP & EQUIP PARTS & SERVICE TRUCK 25,000 5,000 20,000 SUPPORT FLEET BUS WA SHER RELO C/REFURB 300,000 300,000 MAINT SUPP & EQUIP RE-STRIPING/BUS PARKING RE -WORK 25,000 5,000 20,000 FACILITY I MPR M AIN BUILDING ROOF 13,000 2,600 10,400 FACILITY I MPR TRAINING DIAG NOSTICS 75,000 15,000 60,000 MAINT SUPP & EQUIP GRAND TOTAL $678,000 $63,600 $254,400 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $360,000 • • • RIVEOPIDE TRANSIT AGENCY CAPITAL BUDGET FUNDING SOURCES FINANCE & INFORMATION SYSTEMS FY 1996 • • 02/26/96 08:27:50 TAKE FINAL CAPITAL ITEM COST LTF FTA RIVERSIDE FTA HEMET CMAQ ME ASURE A AB2766 PVEA STA CATEGORY EXPANSION CA BINET 1,500 300 1,200 COMPUTER EQUIP 8 LINE MODULE 2,000 _ _ 400 1,600 C OMPUTER EQUIP 8 STATION MLX 2,000 400 1,600 COMPUTER EQUIP MOVE OLD EXPANSION CABINET 500 100 400 COMPUTER EQUIP REL 3 SOFTWARE 1,700 340 1,360 COMPUTER EQUIP PROGRAM 2ND QUE FOR PARATRANSITT 640 128 512 COMPUTER EQUIP 8 NEW UNITS 1,600 320 1,280 C OMPUTER EQUIP COMPUTER SO FTWARE ACCESS (4 FULL VERSIONS) 1,316 263 1,053 COMPUTER E QUIP RIDERSHIP PROGRAMS (BID DISPATCH) 2,500 500 2,000 COMPUTER EQUIP COMPUTER HARDWARE COMPUTER EQUIP COMPUTER SYSTEM (JP) 3,000 600 2,400 COMPUTER EQUIP COMPUTER SYSTEM (YD)_ 2,700 540 2,160 COMPUTER EQUIP COM PUTER SYSTEM (JRD) 5,000 1,000 4,000 COMPUTER EQUIP COMPUTER SYSTEM (CONTINGENCY -

The SRTP Guidelines conform to content requirements outlined in the Public Utilities Code, as well as applicable FTA regulations, regional transit service guidelines, and Agency policies. The information in this plan will serve as the basis for decisions made in the preparation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and in the determination of unmet transit needs in conjunction with the allocation of Transportation Development Act (TDA SB325) funds. " TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE NO. CHAPTER I CURRENT SERVICES 1 CHAPTER II CURRENT PLANNING EFFORTS 9 CHAPTER III FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT 15 CHAPTER IV CAPITAL AND OPERATING PLAN 19 CHAPTER V SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 21 CHAPTER VI EVALUATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND PLANNED SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS 29A APPENDIX A " EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SL"NLMARY REVISED FY 1996-2002 SRTP This updated SRTP reflects a change in the fiscal situation both on the local and federal levels. Service expansion has been postponed, and current expansion only includes feeder service for the new Metrolink (Commuter Rail) Orange County line during FY 1996. Beginning in April, 1996, RTA will be deleting several directly -operated fixed -route trips at the end of the day in order to lessen future budgetary impacts. In addition, headways between the Riverside Plaza and Moreno Valley Mall on Rt. #17 will be increased from 30 to 60 minutes on weekdays. The total effect of these changes will be a 3% service reduction. There are no service modifications planned for contracted services. By January, 1997, RTA hopes to be in full compliance with ADA Complementary Paratransit requirements. Analysis is underway to determine service hours, types and costs to achieve full compliance. The next SRTP update will contain information about future year service plans, based on the most current funding information available. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 • • CHAPTER I CURRENT SERVICES RTA SRTP 1996-2002 CURRENT SERVICES BACKGROUND On August 15, 1975, the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) was established as a joint powers agency (JPA) under authority of Title I, Division 7, Chapter 5, as amended of the Government Code of the State of California. By joint exercise of their common power, the County of Riverside and the fourteen cities of Western Riverside County created RTA to serve as a separate public transportation agency. Members of the JPA reserve the right to provide transportation services within their respective jurisdictions, while RTA serves as a unifying umbrella agency, coordinating transportation services throughout Western Riverside County. RTA owns, maintains, and operates (directly or through contracts ' :th other operators) the public transit system of Western Riverside County. SERVICE AREA The Riverside Transit Agency serves a population of approximately one million in a 2,400 square mile area comprised of the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Corona, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Perris, Riverside, San Jacinto, Temecula, and the surrounding unincorporated area of Western Riverside County. The unincorporated communities of Cortrite, Country Village, Glen Avon, Highgrove, Home Gardens, Homeland, Meadowbrook, Mead Valley, Menifee, Mira Loma, Pedley, Romoland, Rubidoux, Sun City, Wildomar and Woodcrest are included in the RTA service area. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Overview: RTA provides a combination of thirty (30) fixed routes and eleven (11) demand responsive (dial - a -ride) services. Each service is described in detail in Chapter VI. Access to activity centers throughout the vast service area is provided with a system of fixed routes which accommodate transfers at time points. Timed transfers between RTA routes, other operators' fixed routes, and Metrolink stations are planned whenever possible. This is achieved by routing service through several transfer "hub" locations which are designated time points. RTA and other operators' demand responsive services also utilize these points to transfer riders from one dial -a -ride to another or between dial -a -rides and fixed routes. A general diagram of the RTA system follows. • RTA SRTP 1996-2002 1 Time/Transfer Points: The following locations are major activity centers or route intersections which are designated time/transfer points for fixed route and demand responsive services in the RTA service area: Riverside: Pedley: Rubidoux: Glen Avon: Corona: Sixth & Main Streets Main St. & Grand Blvd. Downtown Terminal Galleria at Tyler Riverside Plaza Arlington & La Sierra Avenues Wood Rd. & Van Buren Blvd. Downtown Riverside Metrolink Station Limonite Ave. & Van Buren Blvd. Pedley Metrolink Station Mission & Rubidoux Boulevards Mission Blvd. & Opal St. Country Village Rd. & Country Club Dr. Lake Elsinore: Spring St. & Graham Ave. Inland Valley Medical Center Moreno Valley: Moreno Valley (Towngate) Mall March Air Force Base Alessandro & Perris Boulevards Alessandro Blvd. & Indian St. Perris: Cottonwood Plaza (4th & Wilkerson) Hemet: Hemet Valley Mall Sears Plaza Sun City: Sun City Shopping Center Banning/Beaumont: San Gorgonio Hospital RTA SRTP 1996-2002 3 • • 1 " FARE STRUCTURE (Effective July 1, 1994) FARE CATEGORY GENERAL YOUTH SENIOR/DISABLED FIRST CHILD ADDITIONAL CHILD BASE FARE $ .75 $ .60 $ .35 FREE $ .15 ZONE FARE $ .25 $ .25 $ .10 FREE FREE DAR FARE $1.25 $1.25 $ .60 FREE $ .15 MONTHLY PASS' $24.00/$37.50 $20.00/$31.00 $12.001$18.75 N/A N/A Definitions: General - All passengers except those who qualify for youth, senior/disabled or child fare categories.

The "Inland Empire Connection", with service to Montclair via the I-10 corridor, and to the cities of Anaheim and Orange in Orange County, is provided through cooperative inter -agency service contracts. PURCHASED TRANSPORTATION The Riverside Transit Agency has transportation service agreements or contracts with —both public and private transit operators. RTA fixed route services utilizing full-size buses are operated directly by RTA. Other services, including dial -a -ride operations and fixed routes served with smaller vehicles, are purchased from private operators. All purchased transportation services are managed by RTA, and are included in RTA's evaluation of existing services and new service alternatives (See Private Enterprise Policy). RTA service contracts are awarded through a competitive bid process, to ensure cost-efficient service by a qualified operator. Operating statistics and performance indicators for purchased transportation services (costs, revenues, ridership, mileage and hours) are included in the tables of Chapter VII. Specific services purchased by RTA and the terms of the agreement with each operator are described on the following pages. Public Operators: City of Riverside Special Services: RTA has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Riverside to provide complementary paratransit (dial -a -ride) service in the City of Riverside, as required by the ADA. The City fulfills RTA's obligation to provide paratransit during the hours between 8a. m. - 6p. m. on Weekdays, 9a. m. -4:30p. m. on Saturdays and Sundays. During earlier and later hours, RTA contracts with another provider for the complementary service. - City of Corona: -RTA also has an MOU with the City of Corona for the provision of ADA service. Similar agreements• will probably be made with other jurisdictions (such as Banning and Beaumont) in the future, as progress is made toward compliance with the ADA Implementation Plan. ADA service will be provided in Corona during the evening hours with a taxi service voucher program (See service improvement descriptions in Chapter VI). Private Operators: - Roesch Lines, Inc: RTA contracts with Roesch Lines, Inc. to provide the Inland Empire Connection (Rte. 149) to Orange County. OCTA makes a fair share contribution (based on % of route RTA SRTP 1996-2002 6 miles) toward the cost of this service. Roesch also operates Inland Empire Connection service between Riverside and San Bernardino Counties (Rtes 100/110/496) under contract to Omnitrans, in cooperation with RTA. RTA pays the net operating costs of Inland Empire Connection services operated within Riverside County, as well as certain promotional and administrative costs. Mayflower/Laidlaw: RTA contracts with Mayflower to provide demand responsive service in Calimesa, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Perris, San Jacinto, Sun City and Temecula. Mayflower also operates the following fixed route services under contract to RTA: Route 23 serving Temecula Route 30 serving Perris Route 31 service from Banning/Beaumont to Hemet/San Jacinto - Route 32 serving Hemet - Route 35 service from Banning/Beaumont to Moreno Valley - Route 36 service from Banning/Beaumont to Calimesa/Yucaipa Dave Transportation: RTA contracts with Dave Transportation to provide demand responsive service in Norco, as well as RTA Route 3. Route 3 serves Corona and Norco, and connects with Route 2 in Corona and Route 15 in western Riverside. - Family Services: RTA contracts with the Family Services Association of Western Riverside County, a private non-profit organization, to provide demand responsive service in the Jurupa, Mira Loma, Pedley, and Rubidoux areas, and in Riverside for early morning, late evening and weekend complementary services. - Meditrans: RTA has an agreement with Meditrans, a private non-profit organization, to provide inter -city demand responsive service, utilizing LTF monies passed through RTA from RCTC. Meditrans operates InterLINK dial -a -ride service Monday through Friday between the following communities: Canyon Lake Murrieta Sun City Winchester Romoland Hemet Murrieta Hot Springs Temecula._ _Lake Elsinore Perris Homeland Mead Valley Wildomar Quail Valley RTA SRTP.1996-2002 7 Meditrans also provides service to Riverside, Moreno Valley, and Fallbrook from the communities listed above. and from Woodcrest, Glen Ivy, Lake Matthews, Corona and Norco. This service is provided on a predetermined schedule, with a different loop trip to a destination city each day of the week. Meditrans also provides inter -city dial -a -ride services for ADA-certified riders;- under contract to RTA, between Perris, Moreno Valley and Riverside on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Contract Terms: All of the purchased transportation contracts with private operators, except for the Norco dial -a - ride contract and the Meditrans interLINK service agreement, are based on a fixed hourly rate for vehicle service hours. The Norco dial -a -ride contract is based on a monthly fixed fee for administrative costs and an hourly rate for vehicle service hours. Meditrans is paid a flat annual amount for the services. In order to ensure cost effectiveness, there is a maximum cap on vehicle service hours for each service area, determined by operating history and service demand. Private Enterprise Policy Since its inception, the Riverside Transit Agency has regarded the use of the private sector as a vital tool in providing and operating a cost effective transportation system. Approximately 25 percent of RTA's FY 1995 budget and 37 percent of its total revenue service hours are dedicated to contracting through the private sector. These contracts include operation and management of some fixed routes and all demand responsive services. RTA also uses the private sector for the provision of maintenance services, including major component rebuild (transmissions, A/C compressors, alternators, radiators), tire maintenance and body work. In addition to the from the private expanded services Enterprise Policy involvement, but planning process. transit services and numerous other related commodities currently purchased sector, RTA will continue to solicit private sector proposals for new or identified in this SRTP, as well as future Plans and Updates. RTA's Private is not designed to mandate or prescribe a specific level of private sector ensures that the capabilities of private enterprise are considered during the A description of RTA's Private Enterprise Policy is attached in Appendix B. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 8 " CHAPTER II CURRENT PLANNING EFFORTS RTA SRTP 1996-2002 " " CURRENT PLANNING EFFORTS LONG RANGE TRANSIT PLAN The Long Range Transit Plan (LRTP), a component of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP), contains the long-term goals, objectives and criteria for the development of transit services in Western Riverside County. Prepared with the assistance of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the LRTP estimates the demand for transit services through a FY 2010 planning horizon, using 1990 Census data and demographic projections developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Capital and operating hours necessary to meet that demand are also presented, along with an analysis of financial constraints and potential funding alternatives. Conservative transit demand and supply requirement estimates for FY 2000 are included in the LRTP as a guide for consistency in short range (SRTP) planning efforts. The LRTP will be updated periodically (at least every 5 years) to maintain consistency with the other elements of the CTP. " " INTER -AGENCY COORDINATION Regional Agencies: Staff of the Riverside Transit Agency coordinates agency planning with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) through membership on the following standing committees: �% WRCOG Technical Advisory Committee (ex -officio member) WRCOG Comprehensive Transportation Plan Consortium SCAG Transit Advisory Committee �% SCAG Paratransit Advisory Committee �% RCTC Technical Advisory Committee �% RCTC Citizens' Advisory Committee �% RTA Productivity Committee (RTA/RCTC) Several of the elected officials appointed to the Riverside Transit Agency Board of Directors are also Executive Committee members of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the Western Riverside RTA SRTP 1996-2002 9 1 Council of Governments (WRCOG) and the Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The RTA Board of Directors and RTA staff are committed to participation in all inter -agency coordination and planning efforts which affect transportation in Western Riverside County. Local Agencies: As a transit operator, RTA coordinates its planning activities with the City and County planning agencies through informal agreements to participate in the development review process. RTA responds to plan review transmittals and environmental documents with requests for transit service design standards and related amenities. General comments on the compatibility of proposed projects with transit use are also provided as part of a continuing effort to promote transit -friendly development in the RTA service area. RTA also cooperates with local agencies to develop and test methods of meeting South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) standards. Transit Agencies: RTA cooperates with other public transit providers such as Omnitrans, Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA), Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) and Sunline Transit, in every attempt to provide inter -county and cross -county transit service. RTA also works closely with non-profit transportation service providers and participates on the Regional Coordinating Council for ADA Regional Service. CTSA Coordination: RCTC has designated RTA the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) of Western Riverside County. RTA provides driver training, assistance with grant applications, annual reporting of private, public and non-profit paratransit services and coordination of services to avoid service duplication. Rideshare Organizations: In the Riverside/San Bernardino area, Inland Empire Commuter Services (IECS), formerly CTS, has joined with the RCTC Inland Transportation Services to provide ridesharing services. RTA has established a broad, coordinated relationship with IECS, supplying them with schedules of all RTA transit services on a regular basis. IECS distributes an RTA informational brochure in every rider matchlist generated for Western Riverside County commuters. The RTA Board of Directors has directed RTA staff to play a leading role in supporting compliance with Rule 1501 (formerly Regulation XV) requirements in the service area. The cooperative efforts of RTA and IECS result in informative, helpful outreach to Western Riverside County employers and commuters affected by Rule 1501. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 10 RTA staff will continue to provide information to and assist IECS in making presentations to employers and commuters. Cooperation with IECS helps promote and disseminate information about RTA services. RTA has contracted with SCAG to utilize their TranStar software package in its information center. TranStar allows RTA information clerks to map out callers' routes graphically, using information stored in the database. A letter containing routing directions can be generated and sent to the caller, if desired. By using the SCAG database and routing program, RTA saves staff time and provides more effective and accurate routing service for information center callers. RTA is also a member of the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT). The ACT is comprised of rideshare specialists, transportation professionals, and organizations dedicated to the development of rideshare technology, information sharing, and the expansion of the rideshare concept. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Public participation is an important element of the transportation planning process for the RTA service area. The exchange of information between the public and transportation agencies/service providers in Western Riverside County is promoted and encouraged in the following ways: 1. Public Comments at Meetings - All public meeting agendas of the RTA Boardand the RCTC reserve time for public comments on topics not included on the agenda. 2. RTA Public Hearings - RTA holds public hearings to solicit public comments related to proposed service changes and fare increases or fare restructuring. 3. RCTC Unmet Transit Needs Hearings - RCTC holds annual public hearings to receive comments from the public on unmet transit needs. These comments are used in the process of planning new and expanded transit service throughout the County, including the RTA service area. 4. RTA Membership on Public Agency Committees - RTA staff participates in the transportation planning functions of the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee and Citizens' Advisory Committee, and the WRCOG Technical Advisory Committee. Public comments directed to these committees are considered by RTA. 5. RTA Service on Local Committees - RTA staff meets with local groups and serves on committees as needed to cooperate with the public in addressing transit operation and planning issues. The Riverside Trolley Coordinating Team, Keep Riverside Beautiful Chamber of Commerce Committee, Riverside Visitors and Convention Bureau, Riverside Earthquake Preparedness Committee, Office on Aging, Veterans Transportation Coalition, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America are a few of the groups RTA has served with to enhance public transportation in Western Riverside County. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 11 6. Transportation Now - RTA holds monthly meetings of Transportation Now Chapters, groups of public and private sector transit advocates which help coordinate transit service planning efforts in the RTA service area. These meetings are held in the (San Gorgonio) Pass Area, Riverside, Perris, Corona and Val Verde (Moreno Valley) •portions of the RTA service area. 7 Community Workshops - Community workshops are organized by RTA on an as -needed basis to discuss transit service alternatives and other transit issues. 8. ADA Implementation Plan Update Committee - RTA has formed a committee of ADA- eligible transit riders and RTA contract operators to assist in the update of RTA's ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Implementation Plan. This group meets quarterly as part of the mandated public participation phase of ADA planning. 9. Comments to Local Agencies - RTA confers regularly with transportation and planning departments of local agencies to consider' on -going development projects in its future service planning. Any transit -related comments received during the public review of local agency projects are forwarded to RTA for review. 10. Surveys - RTA solicits comments from the public on an on -going basis by conducting surveys. Surveys are valuable to RTA, not only as a reliable source of service planning data, but also as a communication link with existing and potential riders in the service area. RTA surveys for information about existing services and demand for service changes or expansion. In order to target current riders, RTA has distributed surveys at mobile home parks, shopping centers, and other areas where a significant number of riders access RTA services. Surveys are also distributed through newspapers or the mail to target specific communities, at schools, at employer sites, and on board buses. • 10 a. Community Surveys: RTA frequently conducts surveys to determine the demand for new or expanded services for specific communities. Often, ridership surveys are conducted in conjunction .with transit needs assessment studies. Annually, RTA targets. portion(s) of the service area to analize and survey, so that data will remain current. 10 b. Employer Surveys: RTA provides bus ridership surveys to local employers who can distribute them with the journey to work surveys required by SCAQMD Rule 1501. The RTA surveys are designed to identify opportunities for commuting by transit, which is a cost-effective ridesharing solution. It is often difficult for employees to commute using transit because of the growing popularity of flexible ("flex -time") schedules which start and end at staggered intervals. Although flex -time relieves traffic congestion, it is counter- productive to the provision of effective bus service -because of widely varying work RTA SRTP 1996-2002 12 • • hours. RTA has worked with many major employers to determine employee needs and to try to accommodate them. Some of these employers include: AMTRAK Hunter Engineering Co. Golden Cheese Cross Country Wireless Department of Motor Vehicles DynCorp 3M Mt. San Jacinto College Watson Lab Dart Container Commonwealth Land Title Visiting Nurse Association Dogloo United Way transit Surveys are used to identify employee trip origins and work schedules for the analysis of transit service opportunities. Employee survey data is also used to evaluate existing service. The most frequent request from commuters is for more frequent or rescheduled service to correspond with work start and finish times. 10 c. School Surveys: • Transportation to public schools has become an important service planning issue at RTA. Recent cutbacks in public school budgets have reduced school bus services, causing many students to become dependent on public transit. RTA has worked with several schools, including Acacia School in Hemet, Vista Heights, Vista Verde Middle School and Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley, the University of California Riverside, and Riverside Community College to survey students to determine the demand for RTA service. Whenever possible, RTA has designed "tripper" services to accommodate the schools' start and finish times. 10 d. On -Board Survey: In July, 1995, RTA conducted an on -board survey to obtain detailed information specific to each route. Over 1.000 surveys were completed. The responses allowed RTA to profile the current rider. The average RTA rider is a female, with a median age of 31, who has been riding the bus 1-2 years, and has no other means of transportation. She pays the general fare, in cash, five times a week to travel to and from work. The majority of RTA trips involve Downtown Riverside or the Galleria as the origin or destination. When asked to rate several aspects of RTA service, over half of the respondents to the on -board survey rated RTA above average or excellent in every category. The next major on -board survey will be conducted in 1998. In the meantime, specific routes will be surveyed as needed. Results of the 1995 on -board survey are summarized in Appendix A. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 13 11. Employer Site Visits - In addition to providing information through employee surveys and following up on employees' service requests, RTA staff works with employee transportation coordinators (ETC's) to promote transit use on an on -going basis. RTA staff is available to attend rideshare events to help ETC's inform commuters of public transit opportunities. 12. Group or Individual Meetings - RTA communicates with special interest groups and individuals as needed to consider service requests or proposed service changes, and to resolve complaints. 13. Other Recommendations - Suggestions and complaints from the public are welcome to be submitted through the RTA telephone information service and by direct mail to RTA. RTA also responds to comments made during the RCTC's annual Unmet Needs Hearings. 14. Media Coverage - RTA advocates and requests news media coverage of local transit issues and of RTA Board meetings, in order to inform the public and encourage participation in transit service planning. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates the elimination of discrimination' against persons with disabilities. Elements of the ADA that affect transit operations include requirements that transit vehicles be accessible to persons with disabilities and that paratransit service for persons with disabilities be provided to complement all fixed route services. RTA adopted a plan for implementation of the ADA in January of 1992. Since the RTA fleet is 100% accessible to persons with disabilities, the main emphasis of the ADA Plan is compliance with the complementary paratransit requirement. In order to ensure equal transit service for persons with disabilities, ADA paratransit service must be supplied to the same areas served by fixed routes, during the same hours that fixed route service is available. This means that RTA must introduce new dial -a -ride services and extend the operating hours of some existing dial -a -ride services to be in full compliance by January, 1997. The ADA Plan contains RTA's service implementation schedule, which will result in full compliance. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 14 • • • FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT FACILITIES 1825 Third Street, Riverside: The Riverside Transit Agency occupied its present base of operations in June of 1986. The site is comprised of a 10,400 sq. ft. Administrative Center, a 28,350 sq. ft. full -function maintenance facility, a covered 38,700 sq. ft. fueling and service area, a detached 2,180 sq. ft. bus washing area, and a 145,790 sq. ft. area for bus circulation and employee parking. The Third Street facility currently houses 230 employees (139 operational and -91 administrative) and a fleet of 86 buses' and 24 support vehicles, including utility vehicles. 3205 Durahart Street. Riverside: RTA has purchased another facility adjacent to the Administrative Center to accommodate the continuing growth of RTA services and the associated staffing requirements. New office and paratransit dispatching space has been provided in the existing 7,200 sq. ft. building at 3205 Durahart St. Exterior improvements to the site have included a new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station and additional parking area for RTA support vehicles. RTA has occupied the Durahart facility since June of 1994. Downtown Terminal: The Downtown Riverside Bus Terminal is located between University Avenue and Seventh Street, just west of Market street. It is the primary transfer terminal for RTA fixed route operations, including the Inland Empire Connection routes 100 and 496. Greyhound also operates a small station there, with ticket sales and a boarding area for their intercity/interstate service. There are currently over 5,000 boardings on the approximate 335 daily RTA bus trips which serve the Downtown Terminal at eleven designated bus bays. The Downtown Terminal is owned by the City of Riverside. The City maintains the property using local transportation funds allocated by the RCTC. Perris Yard - 925 S. "D" Street: RTA owns a vehicle yard in Perris. Vehicles used on Route 30, 34 and the Perris, Sun City, and Moreno Valley Dial -a -Rides are based there. The dial -a -ride vehicles based in Perris are dispatched from the centralized Riverside paratransit dispatch facility. 'RTA-operated vehicles only. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 15 • • • RTA leases a facility in Hemet which serves as the vehicle base for Routes 31 and 32, and the Hemet/San Jacinto Dial -a -Ride. The Hemet Dial -a -Ride vehicles are centrally dispatched. Other Facilities: If an RTA facility is not available, contractors. using RTA vehicles are required to provide' their own dispatching base, and to park the vehicles in a secure area. Some local jurisdictions provide parking space for RTA vehicles based in their areas. Buses used on Routes 7 and 8 are parked in a city vehicle yard in Lake Elsinore. Route 3 and Norco Dial -a -Ride vehicles are parked in a yard owned by the City of Corona. One of RTA's contractors leases parking spaces in Temecula for Route 23 vehicles and the vans for the Lake Elsinore and Murrieta/Temecula Dial -a -Rides. Second Operating Facility: A second operating facility with a full -service maintenance garage and a dispatch center maybe necessary to ensure cost efficiency and consistency in the future. Currently, most services in outlying areas are. assigned to contractors who are responsible for operating and maintaining RTA vehicles at competitive costs. All RTA-operated vehicles (including the Rte. 7 and Rte. 8 buses based in Lake Elsinore) are maintained at the Third Street facility in Riverside. As RTA services continue to grow in areas remote from the base of operations in Riverside, so will the need for vehicle service and parking area. Consolidation of the existing small "base" sites would increase the potential for coordination of services and flexibility in utilization of the RTA fleet. Park and Ride Facilities: Park and Ride facilities are important to the success of a multi -modal transportation system. RTA neither owns nor operates any park and ride facilities. However, several RTA routes serve park and ride lots provided by RCTC, CalTrans, and the private sector. Express bus services designed for commuters, such as Routes 26 and 149, depend on park and ride facilities to minimize time en route by limiting the number of required stops. Future plans for increased commuter services will include park.and ride facility planning. Spare Ratio: RTA currently owns and directly operates an active fleet of 86 full-size transit coaches, with a 29 % spare ratio. This spare ratio is temporarily higher than average due to the arrival of new CNG buses and the re -painting of the bus fleet. RTA also leases 9 full-size coaches and owns 14 mini -buses and 28 vans which are operated by private contractors. The aggregate spare ratio on contractor -operated services is 22%.

Major bus inspections are performed at 50,000 mile intervals. Additionally, daily "walk -around" and weekly "undercarriage" inspections are performed to find and identify minor problems as they occur. During the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) triennial review of RTA's Maintenance Program in 1995, the program was found to be sufficient in all aspects. The Preventative Maintenance Program goal is to achieve on-line bus availability of at least 80%. To assist in meeting this goal, the RTA uses engine oil analysis on a scheduled basis to reduce major component failures and to reduce the number of "road -calls". Maintenance work is performed on a work order basis. All work orders are reviewed by maintenance supervisors for problem identification and to aid in the process of determining when a vehicle has reached the end of its useful life and should be replaced. • • Private contractors operating RTA equipment are required to follow the RTA Preventative Maintenance Program, or equivalent PMI standards suitable for the type of vehicles used. Vehicle Replacement: Capital funding for vehicle replacement is planned assuming an 80/20 percentage split of federal funds matched with local funds. Effective FY 1993, all full-size coaches purchased by RTA are alternative fuel vehicles. RTA complies with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidelines as follows: Vehicle: Full -Size (35'-40') Transit Coaches: Medium -Size (30') Coaches: Small/Medium Duty (<30') Coaches: Paratransit Vans: Support Vehicles: Service Life: 12 years or 500,000 miles 10 years or 350,000 miles 7 years or 200,000 miles 4 years or 100,000 miles 4 years or 100,000 miles Vehicle Rehabilitation: RTA has recently begun vehicle rehabilitation as an economical alternative to replacement of full-size transit coaches. According to FTA standards, vehicle rehabilitation extends the useful life of a full-size coach by at least six years. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 18 " CHAPTER IV FY 1996 UPDATED CAPITAL AND OPERATING PLAN " RTA SRTP 1996-2002 " FY 1996/1997 SERVICE PLANS FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS Prior SRTP Updates included a service expansion which was planned during FY 1996. Since the original FY 1996 budget was approved, the fiscal situation has changed both.on the local and federal levels. The service expansion has therefore been postponed, and current expansion only includes feeder service. for the new Metrolink (Commuter Rail) Orange County line durin .FY l 1996 (approved by the RTA Board of Directors in September, g se ice are planned for FY 1996. The FY 1997 Update w include more etailede nformationditions about future years, as RTA continues to evaluate the financial situation, so no projections have been made past FY 1996. RTA has applied for grant funding for a Financial Planning Study to better identify and evaluate funding sources for the next several years. By January, 1997, RTA hopes to be in full compliance with ADA Complementary paila requirements. Analysis is underway to determine service hours, types costs achieve fulll compliance. No service changes are planned during FY 1996;t te next SRTP update will include budget estimates for compliance by January, 1997. In contracted services, the route #3 will be evaluated for improvement in route and scheduling, within existing service hours and costs. No other service modifications are planned for contracted fixed route or dial -a -ride services during the remainder of FY 1996. Beginning in April, 1996, RTA will be deleting several trips at the end of the day in order to lessen future budgetary impacts. Directly operated routes affected are the #1, 10, 12, 13,15, 16, 17, and 18. In addition, headways between the Riverside Plaza and Moreno Valley Mall on Rt. #17 have been increased from 30 to 60 minutes on weekdays. Updated route descriptions have been included for these routes. Per FTA guidelines, a public hearing will be held for the route #17 service adjustment, which affects over 25% of the schedule. Overall service improvements for fixed -route, directly operated services will result in a reduction in service hours of approximately 3% from the current level of service. The bulk of this service reduction will be seen in FY 1997, since it will only affect 3 months of FY 1996. During preparation of the next SRTP Update, additional service hours will be evaluated for modification, re -allocation or elimination depending on funding levels. Expenses for the second half of FY 1996 are slightly higher than for the first half of the year due to approximately S200,000 additional workman's compensation reserve deposits. The other budgetary assumptions remain as approved for the 1st half of the fiscal year. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 19 FY 95 ACTUAIS and FY 96 PROJECTIONS: SUMMARY 18/96-R: PASSENGERS FY96 REV. HOURS * REV.

SERVICE PLANNING GUIDELLNES The primary goal of the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) is to provide the best public transportation service possible within the limits of its financial resources. To meet this goal requires simultaneous attention to the following objectives: 1. The public transit system should be designed, operated, and maintained so that it will attract patrons in such numbers as to assure its continuing viability as a reasonable alternative to the private automobile. Efforts should be made to attract patrons with all features of the system including the quality and quantity of service, interfaces with other transportation systems; the convenience of schedules; the reasonable cost of fares; optimum use of improved streets and highways; the design and maintenance of street furniture, including shelters, benches, and bus stop treatments; and a vigorous marketing program. 2. A paramount consideration is the safety -of the operator and passenger. Operating practices and vehicle maintenance should be such that any kind of accident will be improbable. Driver training and re-training should be on -going. 3. The transportation system should be designed so that its services both serve existing patterns of land use and reinforce desired patterns of development. 4. Service improvements and extensions should be evaluated not only for economic considerations, but also as a required public service to provide mobility for "transit dependent" groups and in the broader sense, to attract new patrons from competing modes with the overall intention of optimizing the return on investment in all modes of transportation in the western portion of Riverside County. 5. New developments and improvements in surface transit vehicle designs should be sought and utilized as a general policy. Vehicles should be provided which are safe, smooth riding, climate controlled, quiet, easy to get in and out of, wheelchair accessible, well lighted, clean, inoffensive to pedestrians or other travelers and aesthetically attractive. Quality of performance by operating and maintenance personnel will be a major objective with consistently improving methods of recruitment, training and education to insure safe, efficient operation by courteous, neatly uniformed personnel. 6. Service should be designed to minimize door-to-door travel time for present and potential patrons. This can be achieved by improving the walk, wait, ride and transfer elements of the total transit journey. Patrons should be assured of the fastest possible ride by a policy of utilizing the highest quality highway facility available to complete the trip economically. Transferring should be minimized by continuously seeking more direct routes from origin to destination. Where transfer elimination is impossible, .services should be carefully coordinated and adequate facilities should be provided for patrons to switch vehicles with protection from weather. Walk and wait portions of the trip should RTA SRTP 1996-2002 21 be minimized by route spacing which involves reasonable walking distances and the greatest service frequencies possible within given economic constraints. 7. Proposals for improved transit services should be evaluated on the basis of feasibility and their physical, operational, economical, financial, and social merits. Evaluation of transit services should encompass benefits derived from the reduction of air pollution and congestion and from increased mobility. Improvements must be compatible with regional and local development goals and growth policies, and have overall benefits demonstrable to decision -makers at various levels of government. B. POLICIES AND STANDARDS FOR EXISTING SERVICE Adequacy of existing service is judged by reviewing several criteria as listed below. In addition, comparability of service provision is reviewed on a triennial basis in the RTA Title VI Update which was recently submitted by RTA and subsequently approved by the FTA. This Update ensures that all services and amenities are provided to persons without regard to race, color, religion, ethnicity or disability. 1. Bus Schedule Policies 2. Route Spacing 3.

Route Performance Indicators 1. Bus Schedule Policies One significant area of determination of quality of service is scheduling policies. A number of scheduling devices are utilized for cost saving, including turn -backs, branching of routes and through routing of lines. Where branching will result in significant cost savings, consideration will be given to changing the route name and number for the branch to avoid confusion. Turn -back operations will be scheduled where they can significantly increase the service to a large proportion of riders, especially during peak periods. However, in off peaks and in time when policy headways govern, all vehicles will run the entire route. Scheduling policies now also include provision of express -type, limited stop service, which is intended to maximize cost effectiveness while minimizing travel time. - -• - RTA SRTP 1996-2002 22 • • 1 " " 2. Route Spacing Within the City of Riverside, 70% of the population should be within 1/4 mile of a bus route. For less urbanized areas, transit should serve major shopping, commercial, institutional, office and industrial centers by at least one route. Major secondary and higher education facilities should also be served by a least one transit route. Every attempt is made to provide service on major arterials, especially in the developing urban areas. 3. Policy Headways Policy headways for regularly scheduled service within the City of Riverside will not exceed 60 minutes and will be designed wherever possible to conform to regular clock intervals. In instances where passenger loads are so light as to require time periods to extend 60 minutes between vehicles, a policy headway will be enforced. During FY 1995, RTA expects to receive ten expansion vehicles, some of which will be .used to reduce headways on routes which currently have greater than 60 minute headways, and on those routes in the urban areas which are currently operating on 60 minute headways, and have high potential for ridership growth with increased service frequency. NOTE: "Regularly scheduled service" does not include trippers or special purpose services designed for circumstances such as shift changes and school bell times. 4. Loading Standards The expectation of scheduled transit service is to operate buses with a full load of passengers (100% capacity). During peak periods when demand is greatest, it is not economically feasible to limit ridership to seated capacity. In such instances, a standard of 125 % is acceptable if the service remains safe and provides most passengers a seat through the major part of their journey. Off-peak service is intended to provide passengers a seat at all times to ensure that the service remains attractive and comfortable. 5. On -Time Performance On -time is defined as service arriving at designated time points five minutes early to five minutes past the established time point. The RTA strives to operate all its service on -time. However, a number of external forces often cause delays, such as traffic congestion and inclement weather. To take these circumstances into account, an on -time performance standard of 95 % is established. There are, however, a number of factors within RTA's control which can improve on -time performance. It is expected that: a. On -time performance will be monitored to identify problem areas; b. Schedules will be reviewed to ensure the operators' ability to meet them in a safe and timely manner; RTA SRTP 1996-2002 23 c. Operators will exercise good judgment in running a schedule; and d. Mechanical failure will be limited .through preventive maintenance and thorough driver inspection of the vehicle immediately before it goes into service. 6. Bus Stop Spacing and Locations In determining bus stop locations along local transit routes, passenger convenience is weighed against speed of operations. In residential and downtown areas, stop spacing will be a minimum of 750 feet and a maximum of 1/4 mile (1320 feet). Stop spacing in low density areas is established by fixed criteria based on passenger travel patterns. In commercial and industrial areas, the number and location of bus stops will be controlled by the concentration of patrons more than by "rule -of -thumb" spacing standards. Ideally, stops should be located at the far side of street intersections so that transit vehicles do not impede traffic flow. This standard is followed with the exception of special cases where traffic conditions or other circumstances warrant near -side or mid -block placement. 7. Passenger Amenities The placement of shelters and the identification of priority locations will consider two major functions --the number of boarding and/or transferring passengers at a specific stop :.and the frequency of service at the stop. Shelters should be provided at all major downtown stop locations whenever possible, and at locations generating more than 50 boardings per day. Benches are also be placed at all major downtown stop locations and at other locations with 10 or more boardings per day. Special consideration of additional amenities can be given at any stop. (This could include locations with concentrations of elderly and/or handicapped riders, as an example.) RTA has contracts with Gannett Transit and Bus Stop Shelters for provision of shelters with advertising. RTA has control of where these are placed and this will improve shelter coverage in our service area. All bus stops in the system are identified by an RTA bus stop sign. All bus, stop signs shall display the routes serving the stop. Schedule holders are being placed at each bus stop to display the most recent schedule for routes serving the stop. One hundred percent of the bus fleet is air-conditioned, and a minimum of 90% of the air- conditioning units shall be in proper working condition at all times. 8. Maintenance Functions Coach exteriors are washed twice weekly using the automatic bus washer. Coach interiors are swept daily and put through an interior detail/cleaning process every six weeks. Coaches will be maintained in a high state of operational readiness through effective preventive • RTA SRTP 1996-2002 24 • • " " and correctional maintenance programs. Heavy equipment failures which interrupt passenger trips should occur no more than once per 5.000 miles. The number of coaches inoperable due to maintenance operations, breakdown, or repair will not exceed 20% of the total fleet. Similar standards have been developed for paratransit vehicles based on a review of historical performance, fleet age, and acceptable industry standards. 9. Marketing Policies and Public Information Marketing Policies: RTA's marketing approach should be directed towards (1) an image/recognition effort to educate the public about the services and benefits of RTA and (2) specific promotions to increase ridership overall and on specific routes. A variety of media should be utilized to achieve these objectives including print, radio, direct mail, audio visual and public speaking. Target audiences have been identified in previous marketing surveys as bus riders and potential riders, including new area residents and visitors. Specific public information programs are presentated regularly to service agencies, schools and business organizations to generate ridership and community goodwill. An ongoing public relations program should provide regular input of news to the media to inform the public of significant events and policies affecting public bus transportation. Public Information: RTA's Ride Guide contains a listing of all routes, both directly operated and contracted. Drivers will carry ample supplies of schedules for routes they operate as well as connecting routes such as the Inland Empire Connection 149, 496/110. Schedules should also be available by mail and at selected activity centers such as stores, banks, government buildings, and other public places. A central telephone information system. is maintained by RTA to answer public requests in a competent and courteous manner, as. well as to provide referrals about services offered by other operators in the service area. The Information Center has the capability of preparing itineraries and maps for patrons' trips, using the TranStar transit trip planning software application. Adequate answering capacity should be provided to minimize busy signals and holding time. 10. Route Performance Indicators Each route in the transit system is judged as a separate service. However, individual routes must be evaluated with the understanding that routes are interrelated with respect to transfer passengers and the success of the system as a whole. Usually, a system average is established . against which the performance of each route is measured. Because RTA provides both fixed RTA SRTP 1996-2002 25 route and dial -a -ride services in a wide range of urbanized, developing and rural areas, it is not meaningful to establish a system average. In prior years, annual performance goals for each route and dial -a -ride service were reviewed and determined by the RTA Board Productivity Standards Committee comprised of members of the RTA Board and a representative from RCTC staff. These standards were then approved by the RTA Board of Directors and set forth in the Short Range Transit Plan. These performance goals were set after reviewing such data as historical ridership, population density along the route, service and capital improvement plans, demographics of the area served, etc. Annual performance standards for each route and dial -a -ride service for FY 1992-93 were reviewed and set by the RTA Board Productivity Standards Committee on May 21, 1992. The committee also voted to adopt a dual standard for subsidy per passenger as proposed by RCTC staff and to evaluate it against RTA's current subsidy per passenger standard through January 1993. The RCTC-proposed subsidy per passenger standard is $2.50-$3.50 for local fixed route service, $4.00-$5.00 for intercity and intercounty routes, and $5.00-$6.00 for dial -a -ride service. The standards were approved by the RTA Board of Directors on May 28, 1992 and are set forth later in this document. All charts prepared for the original 1993-1999 SRTP which show these standards have been updated. Performance. indicators which are calculated on a quarterly basis include both farebox recovery and passengers per hour within 5 categories of service. The service type categories approved by the RTA Board in March, 1993 and the overall goals for each category, weighted'by their percentage of the system, have been established. Quarterly reports include highlights of the performance of each route in the category, and focus on the overall performance by category. Those routes in the "New Service" category are moved into the appropriate category after achieving performance standards of that category, or after 2 years of operation. Performance Standards by category for FY 1996 are: Farebox Rec. (%) Passenger/Hr Actual al Actual agg Local Service 20% 20% 27 26 Developing Urban 15% 15% 17 17 Commuter Feeder 25% 24% 17 19 Dial -a -ride 6% 6% 3 4 New Service 4% 4% 10 9 Monthly comparative service analyses and quarterly financial reports prepared by RTA staff allow the RTA Board and the RCTC to review a variety of performance indicators, such as: a. Revenue per hour - Total route revenue divided by total route hours of service. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 26 • • " b. Farebox Recovery (% of costs covered by passenger fare revenue) - Total route revenue collected divided by total route costs. c. Passengers per hour - Total route passengers divided by total route hours. d. Passengers per mile - Total route passengers divided by total route service miles. e. Passenger wait time (dial -a -ride) - Total elapsed time between the call for service and the passenger pick-up. f. Subsidy per passenger - Route net cost (total cost minus fare revenue) divided by total passengers. Individual trips are examined by RTA Operations and Planning Staff as part of the complete and ongoing operational review of each route. RTA SRTP 1996-2002 27 " C. STANDARDS FOR NEW SERVICE, DEMONSTRATION SERVICE AND EXTENSIONS The standards and criteria developed in the preceding section apply equally to new services with few exceptions. The primary difference is that analysis of loading standards, headways, bus stop spacing, schedules and route performance are all completed on an estimated pro forma basis rather than on actual experience. Also, a liberal growth period during which less than normal ridership is to be expected while the ridership "market" builds up should be allowed. Ridership on new or demonstration service is monitored closely, with special analysis for routes that are not meeting projected ridership goals. If a new route or major extension does not meet the performance criteria detailed in the prior section within one year of inception, then the RTA Board should decide to extend the trial period, discontinue service, or significantly restructure it. This decision should be made on the basis of standards established for existing service and analysis of alternative strategies to bring the service up to standards. Similarly, for minor service extensions and route deviations, a six month period of evaluation should suffice. An exception to this rule should be made when a community group or corporation is willing to participate in cost sharing to pay at least the difference between the established farebox recovery target and actual revenue derived from the route. Routes will also be evaluated in terms of their service performance as compared to othe'r routes in the same service category. It is understood that not all routes of the same type will perform equally, and that performance may be balanced by providing a base service in various portions of the service area. The lowest performing route in a service category should not necessarily be eliminated as long as the service category, as a whole, continues to meet the established goal.

" CHAPTER V SERVICE AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS " RTA SRTP 1996-2002 ROUTE 1, MAGNOLIA AVENUE: Local Fixed Route Intertwining with Route 2, Route 1 forms the system's trunk line which operates seven days a week on a 30 minute frequency, operating on Riverside's main arterial, Magnolia Avenue. This arterial links downtown with major retail complexes including the Galleria at Tyler and Riverside Plaza, along with various older shopping districts and newer shopping centers. There are also a number of major educational, medical and institutional generators along Magnolia, including Riverside Community College (RCC), Ramona High School, Sherman Indian High School, La Sierra University, Riverside Community Hospital and Riverside General Hospital. There is also a substantial amount of residential development along and near Magnolia. Beyond the Galleria at Tyler, the route proceeds off Magnolia onto Tyler, Hole and Pierce, where productivity is somewhat lower. The area is a mix of residential and commercial. The route terminates at an office park near the intersection of Pierce and Magnolia. Route 1 extends beyond Market Street at the downtown terminal, proceeding east mainly through residential areas and serving North High School and University of California at Riverside (UCR). It terminates in a one way loop in the Big Springs -Mt. Vernon neighborhood.

Along this portion of its alignment, Route 2 has a 30 minute headway. When combined with Route 1, a 15 minute trunk headway along Market and Magnolia results. From the Galleria at Tyler, the route proceeds southwest on Magnolia and Sixth Street to downtown Corona with a 60 -minute frequency. It terminates at a very short loop at Sixth and Smith near Corona High School. Routes 2 and 3 are the only RTA fixed route services in Corona/Norco. Magnolia Avenue between La Sierra and Sixth includes a significant amount of industry and a number of mobile home parks. Sixth Street is primarily commercial and includes .the Corona Mall, a shopping area at the intersection with Main Street. Also located on Sixth are the city's municipal offices and services. Residential areas are approximately one block beyond the commercial development. Extending Route 2 in Corona to make a Lincoln, Riverside and Smith loop enables this route to serve a large concentration of major employers. On weekdays, Route 2 is one of the system's most productive routes carrying 2,047 riders on an average weekday as it serves some of the area's largest trip generators. On Saturday and Sunday the route operates the segment between the Galleria at Tyler and Sixth Street only. Transfers to and from other areas are required at the Galleria.

These routes were instituted in January, 1992 after the assimilation of the Lake Elsinore Transit System into RTA's operations. Eight westbound trips and eight eastbound trips connect the communities each day. The service area in Lake Elsinore and Wildomar is primarily low density residential with some retail development. Most of the activity along the routes occurs in the city of Lake Elsinore. Significant generators along the routes include Lake Elsinore High School, K -Mart, DPSS, L.E. Middle School, Inland Valley Medical Center, the Community Center and several retail food stores located along the routes. Research and public input has shown a ridership potential for service to the outlet stores in Lake Elsinore. As a result, the routes were deviated to serve this area in September, 1992. Transfers can be made with Route 22 which connects Lake Elsinore with the city of Perris which is a center of the western Riverside County agricultural area.

RTA, in conjunction with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Los Angeles Transportation Commission (LACTC) and Omnitrans, sponsored the renamed Inland Empire Connection 149/496/110 services. RTA and OCTA then entered into a cooperative service agreement with RTA acting as the administrative and monitoring lead for the Inland Empire Connection 149 with funds from OCTA for the execution of the accompanying duties incurred as the lead monitoring agency. RTA is responsible for 44 % of the operating cost, through a calculation based on the percentage of mileage in the RTA service area. Service was decreased by approximately 50% when one bus was taken off the route. This resulted from OCTA's inability to financially SUDDort their share of the service following Orange County's bankruptcy. In 1996, OCTA provided Superbus vehicles for RTA to operate on this route as support for the continuation of the ser% ..

Numerous mobile home parks exist in Calimesa and are the primary pick-up points for riders. �In Yucaipa, the service provides for transfers to Omnitrans Route 14 which travels to Loma Linda, San Bernardino and Montclair. Generally, population density is low and many service and shopping destination points lie outside the Calimesa city limits. The service is open to the general public and fares are 51.25 per ride for all general and youth fare categories and 60c for seniors and persons with disabilities. In December 1993, RTA completed a study to determine the possible need for inter -city service between Calimesa, Moreno Valley, Beaumont, Banning, Cabazon, Yucaipa. The result of this study recommended the implementation of 2 new Pass area fixed routes, one route originating from Banning/Beaumont at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital to Moreno Valley Mall via Route 60 and another route connecting Banning to Calimesa and Yucaipa via Route 10. Service was implemented in July of 1994 (see #35, #36).

The expansion work is extensive as it will include: 1) a Passenger Loading Platform; 2) a Pedestrian Overcrossing; 3) Station and Storage Track construction; and, 4) modifications to the building owned by Royal Citrus. The track construction will require close coordination with the Santa Fe Railroad to provide adequate switching and other interface equipment. The project will also require close coordination with the City of Riverside, particularly for determining the appropriate modifications to be made to the Royal Citrus Building. There are several options available to the Commission for selecting a consultant for this project which are outlined below for discussion by the Commission. The Commission could continue to use the list of qualified firms developed through a Request For Qualifications process in 1991. All of the firms on the list have been awarded one contract to date the RCTC. The South Side Station Feasibility Study for the Downtown Riverside Station was recently completed by Morales and Associates, No. 6 firm on the RCTC list. If the Commission decided to use the existing list, there are two options. The Commission could also decide to seek proposals from firms through the Request For Proposal (RFP) Process. If this process is used, there are also two options available to the Commission. CONSULTANT SELECTION OPTIONS: 1. Select Morales and Associates to perform the work as an extension of their Feasibility Study work for the South Side Station. 2. Select another firm from the existing RCTC list of qualified firms since all firms on the list have previously been awarded work by the RCTC. 3. Select a firm through an "open" RFP Process where any firm which feels qualified could submit a statement of their qualifications and an RFP for the project. Page 2 4. Select a firm through an "abbreviated" RFP Process where the six firms on the existing RCTC list of qualified consultants would be allowed to submit an RFP for the project. From a staff perspective, Option 4, the abbreviated RFP Process, would be the simplest approach. If Options 1 or 2 were selected then the Commission would either have to select the firm which ranked number six out of six firms when the existing list was developed several years ago (Option 1), or one of the other firms which ranked higher (Option 2). While the performance of each of the six firms on projects previously completed serve as a basis for selection under Option 2, the work was accomplished over several years and under conditions which varied considerably. This type of criteria would be very subjective and open to challenge by any or all of the firms not selected. Staff feels the RFP Process would be the better approach. The "open" RFP Process (Option 3) would require a two step selection process. All firms submitting an RFP would first need to be reviewed and determined to be "qualified" to perform the work. If determined qualified, their proposals for accomplishing the work on the project would be then reviewed and compared to proposals from the other qualified firms. The "abbreviated " RFP Process (Option 4) would shorten the selection process since the six firms on the RCTC list have already been determined to be qualified through the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Process used to establish the existing RCTC list of qualified consultant for Rail Station work. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Budget and Finance Committee discuss the options identified for selecting a consultant for the South Side Station Expansion for the Downtown Riverside Metrolink Station, -and recommend Option 4 the "abbreviated" RFP Process to the Commission. :jw • • •
