BUDGET TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Riverside County
Transportation
Commission
With the passage of Measure A, the Commission has been able to contribute
toward long term planning for the County by addressing deteriorating
transportation infrastructure. Measure A was designed to address specific
transportation problems existing in the County at the time of passage, and to
target tax dollars toward relief of those problems. Big steps forward have been
taken with the introduction of high occupancy vehicle(HO lanes on major
County routes, improvement of traffic flow through major interchange
improvements, purchase and set aside of right of way for projects not yet
completed, and the initiation of rail service between Riverside and Los Angeles
and Orange Counties.
A
Financing was extensively used in the early stages of project development and
implementation enabling fairly rapid completion of a number of program
elements. The Commission has now reached the stage wherein project
implementation will proceed at a reduced pace, essentially completing projects
as revenues become available. Heightened efforts are being focused on
searching out opportunities at both the state and federal level to obtain
additional funding to supplement Measure A.
There is minimal federal funding for Commission programs in the 1996/97
fiscal year budget, and the only significant sources of state funding are
budgeted for commuter rail station expansion. Transportation is perceived as a
lesser priority to voters nationwide, and therefore has become a prime target for
budget reductions. Unless voters show a greater willingness to approve bond
measures or to explore alternative means of transportation financing, the
Commission can only complete projects as funds become available both from
the state and sales tax revenues. Under the constraints of these realities, the
Measure A portions of the Commission's budget for the 1996/97 fiscal year are
very modest.
The Commission has reaffirmed its unswerving commitment to the principles of
Measure A and the original list of projects. Those project were sequenced and
staff provided with the mandate to pursue strategies for completion of as many
of those listed projects as possible. Yet the Commission insisted on retaining
some flexibility to respond to opportunities to complete projects consistent with
Measure A, but at a faster pace than might otherwise have been the case based
on order of sequencing. The Commission also expressed concern for growth
areas of the County not fully benefitting from Measure A, and the need to
identify ongoing infrastructure needs.
2
Riverside County
nnortation
Commission
Though Measure A occupies a good percentage of the Commission's time and
activities, its original mission to provide short range transportation planning in
the County has not been neglected The Commission continues to monitor
transit operator performance to ensure efficiency and cost effectiveness for
every tax dollar allocated Short range transit plans are prepared and/or
reviewed by the Commission to validate transit operator responsiveness to
citizen request and county needs. Staff aggressively competes with other local
and state agencies for every federal and state dollar available for transportation
projects. Close contacts are maintained with state and federal legislators
keeping them abreast of local concerns and problems, and promoting legislation
that target_ transportation dollars to meet local transportation challenges.
With these thoughts in mina staff has drafted the 1996/97 fiscal year budget.
Introduced first is an overview of the budget including a review of the budget
process and budget highlights. Following the budget overview is a complete
discussion of revenues, assumptions and Measure A sales tax revenue
projections. After a summarized review of each Commission department,
expenditure detail by line item is presented by department and then by fund
The Appendix will provide additional narrative detail relating to assumptions
used by the various departments.
Completion of this budget has involved a substantial amount of staff time.
Within the constraints of a "lean" staffing level, no effort has been spared in the
preparation and presentation of this budget. All of staff pulled together to
produce a communication tool and work plan which was consistent with the
Commission's strategic goals. Finance and accounting staff, including
consultant staff, especially are to be commended for their earnest and
conscientious efforts. The firm and clear direction of the Executive Director
and the Board of Commissioners was the final element key to the completion of
the 1996/97 Budget.

BUDGET PROCESS SUMMARY
The budget is the primary performance tool used to measure and control
accountability of public agencies for taxpayer dollars. The budget communicates
to all stakeholders(i.e. citizens) how the investment they made will be put to use
by providing detailed information on the specifics of resource allocation and
expenditure. Progress is regularly monitored and revisions and updates are made
at mid year to reflect changing dynamics and realities. This results in a budget
document that is truly useful and meaningful as a bench mark against which to
evaluate government accomplishments and/or challenges, and to assess
compliance with fiscal accountability. -
Short Term Strategic Direction Phase
The first phase of the budget process is to determine the direction of the
Commission in the short term and to integrate this with long term goals and
objectives. Annually a seminar is held for the policy makers to evaluate and
determine where the Commission plans to be and what it desires to accomplish
over the next twenty years. Annual reviews allows for timely responsiveness to
any significant political, legislative, or economic developments that may occur •
locally, statewide, or nationally . Staff then adjusts its course based on the long
term strategic direction of the policy makers.
Staff convenes in early January to both assess actual results compared to the
current year budget, and to map changes in strategy for the ensuing fiscal year
by reviewing and, if necessary, redefining departmental mission statements, and
setting goals. Those goals upon review by the Board become the Commission's
short term strategic direction.
Resource Definement and Allocation Phase
Simultaneous with the short term strategic direction phase, staff focuses on what
funding sources are available, and what monies are estimated as carryover from
the current year. In actuality, resource identification occurs throughout the year,
but is 'finalized' in the upcoming fiscal year budget. Amounts to be borrowed are
determined as part of the long term strategic planning process, but are adjusted in
the annual budget to reflect more current information.
Needs Assessment Phase
Staff and consultants evaluate what projects and studies need to be accomplish
Project priority and sequencing set in the long term strategic plan are the top
candidates for budget submission. However, priorities may have changed due to

•
economic necessities or political realities , resulting in projects being rescheduled
by acceleration or postponement. New projects may be added or existing
priorities deleted based on Commission direction.
Development/Review Phase
Using all the data and information gathered from the previously mentioned
stages, department heads submit their desired budgets to the Commission's
financial officer. The information along with staff and overhead allocations is
compiled into a preliminary or draft budget. After review by the Executive
Director and inclusion of his desired changes, the draft budget is presented to the
Board of Commiss oners for input into the mission and goal statements and
review of initial resource allocation.
Adoption/Implementation Phase
The Proposed Budget is submitted to the Commission at its May meeting. A
hearing is schedule to allow for public comment on the proposed budget. The
Commission may choose after public hearing to adopt the budget, or to request
additional information and or changes to the budget. The budget must be
adopted no later than June 15th of each year.
During the year if the need arises, staff may transfer part or all of any budgeted
balance among programs within a department or fund. Control of the budget is
maintained by monthly status reports to department heads. Corrective action
must be documented and submitted to the financial officer for any significant
budget variations. Commission approval is sought for any expenditures that will
exceed those amounts allocated to each program area.
Budget roles and responsibilities
Involvement in the budget permeates all levels of staff at the Commission from
clerical staff to policy makers. Each program/project manager develops a
detailed line item capital budget. Those budgets by program are submitted to
the department head for review and approval. The department heads will submit
their budgets to the financial officer by March l st. The Commission's financial
officer compiles the department budgets, and completes the operating budget
(administrative) with input from the Clerk of the Board, Both the capital and
operating budgets are combined into the draft budget for the entire Commission.
The Executive Director reviews the entire budget for overall consistency with
both the short and long term strategic direction of the Commission, the
appropriateness of funding sources for the identified projects and studies, and
that the operating budget expenditures are reasonable and complementary to the
capital budget.

The Commission will enter the 1997 fiscal year fully committed to exploring all
alternatives to relieving traffic congestion and facilitating work commute and the
general travel needs of Riverside County residents. Putting to good use the sales
tax dollars collected as a result of Measure A has enabled the Commission to
make significant progress toward improving transportation within the County.
The Commission will continue to move forward with project implementation at a
reduced pace as indicated by the more modest size of the 1997 budget.

Budget Highlights
Measure A sales tax revenues - Sales tax revenues are projected to be
$55,381,000, an increase of 5.4% over the 1995/96 budget of $52,528,635. The
increase is attributed to the County's growth in population, posting the highest
growth of any county in the state, and an improving economy.
Highway and commuter rail expenditures - The construction contract for
the Yuma interchange is expected to be awarded by June 30, 1996 with actual
construction beginning shortly thereafter. This project is a joint venture between
the Commission, the State, City of Corona, and the City of Norco, and should
relieve congestion and stimulate economic development. The south side platform
at the Downtown Riverside station will be funded with State Proposition 108
bonds and Transit Capital Improvement monies in the amount of $3,305,649
along with $1,500,000 from Union Pacific.
Regional arterial- Construction will continue on both the Monterey and the
Cook interchanges in the Coachella Valley. Forecasted completion for the
Monterey and Cook interchanges is August 1997. Right of way acquisitions
should be completed by June 1996. Total expenditures of $38,807,405 will
virtually exhaust the remaining 1993 bond proceeds, and substantially reduce
Measure A regional arterial reserves.
Local streets and roads -Twenty of the county's twenty-four incorporated
cities along with the County and the Coachella Valley Association of
Governments will receive an estimated $21,005,792 to be used for road and
street construction and repair.

Intelligent Transportation Systems -A study jointly funded by the
Commission and the State of California will examine various methods for
creating "smarter" highways to facilitate travel on roads within the Inland
Empire. The Federal Highway Administration(FWHA) and the State are
contributing $300,000 and $37,500, respectively, toward this effort, with
matching funds from the Commission of $64,270 (including staff resources
totaling $20,520), and from the San Bernardino Associated
Governments(SANBAG) in the amount of $18,750.
Route 71 Demonstration Project - The Commission has designated
$125,000 pf Western Riverside County Local Transportation Fund planning
funds as a match for a study to be performed by the Southern California
Association of Governments on the widening of Route 71 in Riverside County.
REVENUES
Measure A Sales Tax Revenues
The voters of Riverside County overwhelmingly approved Ordinance 88-1,
commonly known as Measure A, in 1988, granting the Commission the authori
to levy a one half of one percent sales tax in all of the county. One of the
principal reasons for the successful passage of the Measure was the recognition
that the County is comprised of three distinct geographic areas with differing
transportation needs and economic strengths. A return to source concept was
built into the Measure requiring that the sales tax revenues be expended in the
area generating the tax. Those revenues must then be used as defined in the
Transportation Improvement
Plan, an appendage to
Measure A.

February 1996. The auditing and consulting firm of Ernst & Young was retained
by the Commission to develop and run an econometric model that predicts the
change in taxable sales.
The econometric model uses personal income and the unemployment rate for the
Riverside -San Bernardino Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Ernst & Young
obtained projections on these two variables from Regional Financial Associates
(RFA), a consulting firm specializing in the development of comprehensive
regional economic models for all MSA's in the United States. RFA's forecasts
utilize a number of factors including demographic, employment, and financial.
•
•
Ernst & Young list the following as additional assumptions used in the
development of the Commission's revenue forecast:
The state does not change the mix of items subject to the sales tax from
what has been included historically.
The relative sales and property tax rates of Riverside and surrounding
counties does not change from historical levels.
Economic conditions in Riverside versus San Bernardino do not change
significantly during the forecast period.
Inflation for the period of the forecast is assumed to be 3.8%.
Forecast results show
Measure A revenues, net
of administrative costs to
be $1,218 million in
nominal dollars from 1996
thru 2009.

Commission
return to source is approximately 70% for Western County, 28% for the
Coachella Valley, and 2% for the Palo Verde Valley. These percentages will
experience slight variations from year to year based on changes in levels of
taxable sales.
Program allocation --The Transportation Improvement Plan of Measure A
defines the manner in which the sales tax revenues are to be spent. In Western
County fifty-five percent(55%) of its proportionate share is designated for
highways and commuter rail; forty percent(40%) is distributed to local
jurisdictions for street and roads maintenance, repair, and construction; and five
percent(5%p) is reserved for special transportation programs which historically
has been evenly divided between commuter assistance and programs for seniors
and persons with disabilities.
In the Coachella Valley, forty percent (40%) of its allocated share is to be spent
on regional arterials. Another thirty-five to forty percent(35%-40%) is
distributed to local jurisdictions for streets and roads; fifteen percent(15%) is
reserved for major highway projects; and between five and ten percent(5%-10%)
is designated for transit.
All of the Measure A funding for the Palo Verde Valley is to be used for repair, 110
maintenance, and construction of streets and roads.
Highways
Sales tax revenues for the combined highway program are estimated to be
$16,964,441. Western County will receive $14,843,127 and Coachella Valley
will be allocated $2,121,314. Other Western County highway revenues from
outstanding loans are budgeted at $531,266. Reimbursement from the City of
Norco has been budgeted at $4,312,500.
Commuter Rail
Commuter rail is expected to receive an additional $6,210,514 million in sales
tax revenues . Other revenue sources for capital include state rail bonds of
$3,305,649 and private participation (i.e., Union Pacific) of $1,500,000.
Operations is funded by sales tax revenues derived from the Transportation
Development Act(TDA), a quarter cent sales tax levied by Riverside County for
transit purposes. The Commission will be allocated $4,071,425 to cover rail
operations and support from the Local Transportation Fund(LTF).

Regional Arterials
The regional arterial program will receive $5,656,837. The sales tax revenues
are augmented by revenues from the Coachella Valley Association of
Governments in the amount of $2,888,482. The contribution from CVAG
represents its share of the debt service costs on the Sales Tax Revenue bonds
1993 Series A.
Special Transportation/Transit
Commuteassistance-and programs for seniors and persons with disabilities will
equally share $1,913,968 in sales tax revenues. Commuter assistance will
receive an additional $295,320 in Surface Transportation Program(STP) funding
for the Inland Empire Commuter Services. All of the $1,414,209 in sales tax
revenues for special transportation funds in the Coachella Valley are designated
for transit.
Local streets and roads
Total sales tax revenues available for local streets and roads amounts to
$21,005,792. The amount allocated to Western County cities is expected to be
$11,689,439, Coachella Valley cities' revenues are projected at $4,283,329, the
City of Blythe is estimated at$578,480, and the unincorporated areas of the
County will generate $4,451,024 ($3,670,848 for Western County, $629,085
for Coachella Valley, and $151,090 for Palo Verde Valley).
Planning and Programming
On top of the allocation to be received by the Commission from Local
Transportation Funds for rail operations(see Revenues -Commuter Rail), the
Commission will receive $858,000 for planning and programming, and $440,000
for administration. The State Transit Assistance Allocation is based on an
estimate received from the State Controller's office. For the 1997 fiscal year the
state estimates that Riverside County will receive $1,787,063. This estimate is
prior to finalization of the state's budget which historically has resulted in
revisions. For that reason, the STA allocation has been budgeted at $1,429,650,
eighty percent(80%) of the state estimate.
Motorist Assistance
The Service Authority For Freeway Emergencies(SAFE) is funded by a one
dollar fee included with the Department of Motor Vehicles registration fees.
SAFE fees are projected to grow from $1,000,000 to $1,030,000. This

estimate has assumed that car registrations will grow approximately 3 %. The
ITS program, an element of SAFE, will be principally funded by a state grant to
be provided over a sixteen month period beginning April 1996. Total amount
expected for 1997 is $337,500. SANBAG will contribute $18,750.
Freeway Service Patrol allocation from the state has been budgeted at $559,000.
Another $145,025 will be transferred from SAFE to augment FSP revenues.
Interest Income
Interest earnings on the County pool are estimated at 4.875%, provided by the
County of Riverside Treasury. The earnings on funds remaining in guaranteed
investment contracts and the federal agency note held by the trustee are
calculated at the contractual rates which ranges between 6.45% and 6.99%.
Earnings on funds held by the trustee are estimated to be 5%. Total interest
earnings are projected to be $3,372,000.

Management Services
Management Services administers and supports the Commission's various
programs and projects. It provides oversight, legislative advocacy and
intergovernmental coordination, general legal counsel activities not directly
program or project related, and financing and accounting. These programs are
allocated to the Commission's three major funding sources -the Transportation
Development Act(TDA-accounted for in the Commission's General Fund),
motorist assistance funding in the form of Service Authority For Freeway
Emergencies(SAFE) fees and state allocations for the Freeway Service
Patrol(FSP), and Measure A, the local half cents sales tax. The allocations are
based on managements' budgetary estimates, and for the 96/97 fiscal year will be
seventy-six percent(76%) to Measure A, eighteen percent(18%) to TDA, and six
percent(6%) to motorist assistance.
Measure A Programs
•
•
The Commission is the taxing authority for a one half percent tax levied on all
retail sales and use transactions within the County, to be used for transportation
purposes. The Commission's major capital programs are funded by means of
Measure A --regional arterial, commuter rail, highways, and streets and
roads.(Note: Commuter rail operations and capital will be funded by Local
Transportation Funds in 1996/97 and for the foreseeable future. However, the
initial capital investment for rail was Measure A, and all commuter rail debt costs
will continue to be paid by Measure A). The Commission's "soft" programs --
seniors and persons with disabilities, and commuter assistance --are all funded
principally with Measure A.
Non Measure A Programs
Non Measure A programs are funded with a variety of sources. Transportation
planning and programming and commuter rail operations are funded under the
provisions of the Transportation Development Act of 1971 through the Local
Transportation Fund, a trust fund administered by the Commission on behalf of
the County of Riverside. Motorist assistance receives funding from the State
either through user fees, gas taxes, or other state budget appropriations. The
Commission's rail and highway properties produce lease and rental income used
to fund all property management activities.

Departmental Budget Discussion
The Executive Director oversees all day to day activities of the Commission and is
responsible for policy execution as promulgated by the Board of Commissioners. The
Clerk of the Board, under the direction of the Executive Director, ensures that agendas
are completed consistent with legal and statutory requirements and are processed and
mailed timely, coordinates the scheduling of the Commission meetings including sub-
committees, and assists the commissioners with non policy related matters. The Clerk
of the Board conducts routine office and personnel functions including Commission and
staff secretarial support, and document control and records retention. This position also
plays a significant role in community outreach and the coordination of special events and
informationdissemination. Staffing costs will total $301,823 along with an overhead
allocation of $102,897. Supporting consultants and services include legal fees of
$85,000.
Intergovernmental programs
The Commission must continually stay abreast of developments at both the federal and
state level that would impact the Commission and its programs. There is an
interdependency that of necessity exists among the many local jurisdictions and agencies
within the county and the state which requires close communication and coordination.
That interdependency is closely related to transportation program funding, a long
standing and key function of the Commission. During the 95/96 fiscal year the 4111
Commission established a Legislative Committee to review proposed laws, to set an
annual legislative agenda, and to make recommendations to the Commission on
legislative positions. The Assistant Director of Intergovernmental Program works with the
Legislative Committee to develop the legislative program. The position maintains close
contacts with the Commission's legislative consultants in Sacramento and Washington
D.C. Though the Commission has always retained a consultant at the state level, due to
the importance of federal involvement in transportation revenues especially as those
revenues have become increasingly scarce, short term contracts were approved for the
retention of consultants in Washington D.C. The 1996/1997 budget anticipates retaining
representation at the federal level for the foreseeable future to maintain the County's role
in development of federal transportation laws, regulations and funding. The total amount
budgeted for legislative consultants is $71,610. Staffing costs and overhead allocation
amount to $163,794 and $55,841, respectively.

For the second consecutive year, no staffing additions are planned. The Commission's
culture demands a small but highly productive and motivated staff. However, there
admittedly is more work handled by this Commission than a staff of nineteen employees
can possibly handle. The Commission has made extensive use of consultants as de
facto staff in order to accomplish the extensive work activities. This has proven
advantageous for as activity and or funding has diminished, consultant contracts are
either eliminated or reduced.
The Commission provides a comprehensive package of benefits to all permanent,
salaried employees(Note: all current employees are classified as permanent and
salaried). That package includes health , dental, and vision insurance, life insurance,
short and long term disability, workers compensation, tuition assistance, sick and vacation
leave, and retiremet tbenefits in the form of participation in the California Public
Employeeg Retirement System(PERS) and deferred compensation contributions. The
Commission in July 1994 approved changes in the retirement plan that will allow staff to
retire with full benefits at age 55. The 1996/97 Budget reflects an increase of $23,091
in the cost for retirement as a result of this change. This change was not reflected in
previous budgets because it takes PERS two years to effectuate the change.
Benefits which are tied to salary will increase consistent with any salary adjustments.
Other benefit costs are expected to remain unchanged from the prior year. The total
change in personnel salary and benefits shows an increase of 7.3 %. Measure A
Administrative salary and benefits are budgeted at $483,271, equal to .0087% of
Measure A sales tax revenues.
Administrative Overhead -Administrative overhead is budgeted to increase at the rate of
inflation(assumed at 3.5%). The expenditure for office lease will increase sixty-three
percent(63%) due to the rental of additional space for Commission staff. The space is
currently occupied by staff, but is paid by Caltrans. This was an in kind reimbursement to
the Commission for administrative support provided the initial years of the Measure.
Caltrans's lease expires on June 30, 1996. No other substantive changes are
anticipated. Overhead costs are allocated to the various departments based on the level
of direct staff(exclusive of indirect staff defined as all clerical support) hours assigned to
the department. The assigned amounts for administrative support costs are shown in
the individual department budgets.

Departmental Budget Discussion
A portion of the Commission's resources are allocated to assure fiscal accountability.
Finance concerns itself with maintaining adequate cash flow and investing idle funds;
issuing short and long term debt and the ongoing associated responsibilities including
interaction with financial advisors, bankers, bond insurance companies, and rating
agencies, and regular and consistent information disclosure to investors; budget
monitoring and coordination of budget planning; purchasing and procurement; and
oversight of routine property management functions. Accounting involvescash receipt
and disbursement functions, maintenance of the general ledger including project cost
accounting, retention of and coordination with independent auditors, payroll processing,
quarterly and annual financial reporting, and purchasing and procurement.
Department staffing costs will total $160,493 with an overhead allocation of $61,235.
Consultants and services include general legal fees of $15,000, bond counsel fees of
$50,000 for commercial paper maintenance issues, $85,000 for financial advisory
services, and $275,000 for audit services(not including $50,000 budgeted in Project
Development and Implementation for program audits).
Debt administration
•
It is expected that the Commission will by the end of fiscal year 1997 have $52,000,000 in
outstanding commercial paper notes. The interest cost for this debt is conservatively
estimated at five percent(5%),
assuming that at least $49,500,000
is outstanding for the entire year.
Interest expense is therefore
budgeted at $2,475,000 from the
highway programs. An additional
$2,500,000 in commercial paper si00000000

At June 30, 1997, the Commission will have outstanding $205,877,137 in senior sales

$12,035,000 in principal will be retired, along with $11,596,570 in interest payments.
The Commission's cost of funds is estimated to be 5.3%. While this figure is slightly
higher than the Commission's five percent(5%) average to date, it is still well below the
Commission's target established in the 1990 Short Range Financial Plan. The cost of
debt for 1996/97 is slightly higher due to a conservative commercial paper rate
estimate(5% compared to an actual rate through February 29, 1996 of 3.75%), and
termination of all revenues from interest rate swaps.

Debt Capacity Analysis
The Commission is legally prohibited from issuing additional debt if its debt coverage ratio
is less than 1.3 to 1 on all senior debt. The Commission has adopted a higher standard of
2 to 1 as policy. As the chart shows, the Commission has successfully met its policy
standard. The Overall Coverage Ratio demonstrates the impact of the Commission
utilizing its entire senior debt capacity plus continuing to issue commercial paper notes.
Any coverage less than 2 to 1 would necessitate using other program funding to cover all
debt service expenditures.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
Department Overview and Budget -in -Brief
The Project Development and Implementation Department is responsible for major
highway and rail capital projects from initial Environmental study through Preliminary
engineering, final design, right of way acquisition and construction. Nearly 86% of the
Commission's budget originates in this department. The department is managed by the
Deputy Executive Director to accelerate delivery of capital improvements to major
highways through the County of Riverside. Those improvements include additional lane
capacity, more efficient interchanges, larger bridges, and traffic control measures such
as ramp metering. The Commission will continue protective acquisition of highway rights
of way as funds permit. The Commuter Rail program includes identification/pursuit of
funding to underwrite the cost of implementing commuter rail improvements leading to
service implementation; and implementation of rail capital improvements, including but
not limited to, purchase of equipment, construction of stations, and construction of rail
line improvements.

Departmental Budget Discussion
STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING
State and federal funding expected to be allocated to Measure A identified highway
improvements is becoming scarce due to a number of factors including: "seismic
27
Riverside City
Transportation
Commission
retrofit" priorities by the state, lower than expected state and federal gas tax revenue
receipts, and increased pressure to use the transportation trust fund revenues to
balance the federal budget by limiting funding authorizations to the states.
Representatives of the federal Department of Transportation are predicting a continued
decline in revenues allocated for transportation over the next several years as this
pressure increases. As a result, the ability of the California Transportation
Commission(CTC) to allocate funds for highway and rail improvements through the STIP
Process has been severely impacted.
In 1994, with no new revenues projected, the CTC adopted a STIP which included only
the projects programmed for funding in the 1992 STIP. The STIP funding situation has
worsened since 1994: —There is some hope for passage of a $ 2 billion State Bond
Measure to fund the "seismic retrofit" later this year to reduce the impact; however, a
reduction in funding is anticipated for Riverside County highway projects of between 10%
and 25% of the funding programmed in the 1994 STIP. The effect of this will likely be
the loss of one or more projects currently programmed which will have to rebid in the
future.
Measure A Highway projects expected to remain in the STIP are: Route 86 Phase 3
construction; Route 60/1-215 widening from Valley Way to University Avenue: the 60/91/1-
215 Interchange Phase 1 direct connector construction ( Route 60/1-215 west to Route 91
south) ; and some portion of the 1-215 widening project from University Avenue to the
60/I-215 East Junction. Two projects to be removed from the STIP are the Route 60
widening from the 60/1-215 East Junction to Redlands Boulevard and the San Jacinto
Branch Line improvements.
HIGHWAY PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT AND
IMPLEMENTATION
The Measure A Highway
Expenditure Plan relied upon
receipt of state and federal gas
tax funds expected to be
allocated by the CTC for
highway improvements in
Riverside County through the Proj. Dec IL
STIP as well as revenues to be
generated by the one-half cent
local sales tax. STIP funds were
expected to provide "at least
half" of the total revenues
necessary to develop, design,
and construct all of the projects identified in the Highway Program.
Measure A Funded Projects —The Measure A funded portion of the Highway Program has
also reached a slow period compared to the rapid pace of construction of the past
several years That accelerated pace of construction will have produced the Route 91
high occupancy vehicle(HOV) lanes, several new or improved interchanges along 410

Route 91 from Mary St. to the Orange County Line; completion of Route 86 Phase 1
construction and intersection improvements along Route 111 in the Coachella Valley;
and the expected completion of the Route 79 widening to four lanes through Lambs
Canyon later this year.
The highway projects discussed above were accomplished on an accelerated
schedule, similar to the rail improvement program, through the use of bond proceeds
and commercial paper. For the next two to three years the Commission will have to
operate more on a" pay as you go" basis in order to retire debt and meet interest
payments. The major construction project in the 1996/97 budget is the Yuma
Interchange at 1-15. Construction costs are estimated at $8,625,000, to be funded
equally with Measure A Highway funds and local funds from the City of Norco. The
Commission has agreed to administer the construction contract at the request of the
City. A $3,000,000 soundwall/auxiliary lane project is scheduled for Route 91 from Mary
Street to Magnolia Avenue. This is the first phase of the soundwalls deferred from the
Route 91 HOV and auxiliary lane project to complete the improvements identified in the
Measure A Expenditure Plan. The remaining projects include intersection improvements
along Route 111, and design work for the Van Buren Interchange Project. These
projects are expected to be accomplished with cities as the lead agency.
Program Management —The successful delivery of the rail and highway improvements in
the relatively short time since Measure A was approved has been possible largely due to
two factors: First, the decision to use bond proceeds to fund the projects; and secondly,
the decision to enlist the service of Bechtel Civil, Inc for technical advise and program
management services. The level of Bechtel Support staff has declined over the past two
years and is reduced again in the 1996/97 budget by approximately 37%, from
$1,310,000 in 1995/96 to $940,525 in 1996/97.
The Bechtel engineering staff will be reduced to two positions. The first position is
needed to administer the Yuma construction contract, close out contracts for the Route
79, Route 111, and other projects constructed this past year, and to provide
engineering advice to the Commission. The other position is proposed to provide
technical assistance to Caltrans District 08 for completion of the Environmental Impact
Study (EIS) efforts needed for the STIP funded 60/91/1-215 Interchange and 1-215
widening projects. In addition , the proposed Bechtel services budget includes
secretarial support for the Bechtel staff, cost control and accounting assistance to the
Commission's finance officer for Measure A projects and programs, and a staff position
to complete a records retention system necessary to meet audit requirements for
federal and state funding used to construct the rail stations and other projects.
The 60/91/1-215 Interchange direct connector and 1-215 widening projects are STIP
funded. Project development work is the responsibility of Caltrans District 08. The
Commission has provided considerable consultant assistance in the preparation of the
draft Environmental Impact Report (EIS). Continued involvement by the Commission in
the ongoing environmental clearance process, as well as final scoping and engineering
decisions by Caltrans is necessary. The interchange improvements are the centerpiece
of the Measure A Highway Program. The combined cost of the interchange and 1-215
widening project is estimated at $148.19 million. A relatively small change in design
could have significant cost implications. The Commission's assistance to Caltrans to
29
Riverside Como
Transportation
Commission
complete the environmental process is intended to keep the project on schedule. while
its involvement in the engineering decision making process is to maintain cost controls
on the proposed scope of the projects. If project scopes are not monitored closely, the
Commission's future ability to deliver the remaining projects identified in the Measure A
Highway Program could be negatively impacted. In addition to participating in work on
the STIP funded projects, the Commission will continue to participate in the decision
making processes for projects to be funded by the Measure A Highway Program for
which the cities and the County serve as lead agency.
COMMUTER RAIL DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
The past several years -has been a period of negotiations with the railroads and
construction of track and station improvements for the Commission to develop and
initiate a commuter rail system serving the five county Southern California region.
Funding was provided primarily from State and Local (Measure A) bond proceeds. The
Commission has been responsible for track improvements and the construction of four
rail stations needed for the two lines which now operate weekdays from Riverside to
Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino Counties. With most of the Measure A
revenues for rail now needed to retire debt service, the focus for 1996/97 is completion of
the Downtown Riverside Station.
The 1996/97 budget contains only one major capital project — design and construction •
a new passenger platform on the south side of the Downtown Riverside Station. This
project, estimated to cost $4.7 million, will be funded by State funds and is needed to
provide reliable service on the Riverside to Orange County commuter line following its
expansion to serve San Bemardino. Parking expansion at the station for these
additional riders was accomplished this past year and will be adequate for the near
future. The Commission will serve as lead agency with responsibility for administration
of the consultant and construction contracts. Because parking at the Downtown Station
is located on the north side a pedestrian overcrossing will be constructed to connect the
south side passenger platform to the parking area.
Due to a lack of both capital and operating funds, the expansion of commuter service
along the San Jacinto Branch line had to be given a relatively low priority when the
Commission developed and approved a project sequencing list earlier this year.
However, in 1996/97 the Commission will continue to seek funding for modest capital
improvements on the Branch Line needed for future commuter rail operations which
will help to maintain and improve the existing freight service operations along the line.

interest payments for these loans are deducted by the Commission from each city's
respective disbursements based on the terms of the loan agreements. The participating
jurisdictions are the cities of Canyon Lake, Corona, Murietta, Norco, and Perris. Total
expected reimbursements from these cities is $885,000, of which $531,266 represents

There are three cities in the Coachella Valley which do not participate in the Traffic
Uniform Mitigation Fee Program (TUMF). The Measure A allocations of those three
cities, Coachella, La Quinta, and Desert Hot Springs are remitted to the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments (CVAG) in lieu of the TUMF. Total Measure A funding under
the local streets and roads programs to be received by CVAG is $ 590,774. The
Coachella Valley has a discretionary five percent of their sales tax revenues that may be
allocated for either streets and roads or transit as determined by CVAG. For the 1996/97
fiscal year , CVAG has allocated that five percent to transit. That decision is reflected in
the Commission's 1996/97 Budget.

SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION
Department Overview and Budget -in -Brief
Often characterized as the "soft" programs of Measure A, these programs provide a
valuable service to the community. Use of alternate forms of transportation is
encouraged and promoted through various incentive and educational programs offered
to commuters and employers to reduce single occupant vehicle trips and improve air
quality. Substantial support is furnished to social service and public transit agencies
which serve special and unique needs of seniors and persons with disabilities.

Specialized Transit
The Commission has never wavered in its concern and interest for the special transit
needs of seniors and persons with disabilities. In fiscal year 1996/97, the Commission
will award over $2.8 million in Measure A specialized transit funds in the Western County
to support specialized transit projects. In addition to traditional dial -a -ride services, the
Commission supports innovative programs which provide transit assistance in hard to

serve rural areas or for riders
having very special transit needs.
For example, in the Coachella
Valley, the Measure A specialized
transit funds are used by SunLine
Transit Agency to help support the
operation of the Sundial Service, a
curb to curb specialized transit
service.
In fiscal year 1996/97 some
changes tothe awa?d o-fthe
specialized transit funds in the
Westem County are expected. In
December 1995, the Commission
adopted a Short Range Transit
Plan process for fund allocation in
the Western County. The
agreement establishes a funding
split with 50% of Measure A
specialized transit funds allocated
to support specialized transit
services provided by public transit
operators in the Western County,
with the remaining 50% to be
made available to support
specialized transit provided by
private, non-profit agencies.
Given the likelihood that future
years' revenues will not be in
amounts necessary to support a
growing number of new specialized transit projects, and since a number of well
established, productive services are already in place, the process for recipient/project
selection of Western County funds may need to be revised to ensure that limited funds
are utilized to provide the greatest benefit to transit dependent individuals.
In addition to funding grants, the Commission will support these activities with staff
totalling $63,095, legal costs of $10,000, and an overhead allocation of $27,841.

While adding additional infrastructure is one solution to the problem of crowded freeways
and local streets, changing the driving behavior and patterns of commuters cannot be
ignored. The drafters of Measure A had the foresight to recognize that and included as
part of the Measure dedicated funding for commuter education and rideshare
inducements. The Commission has been applauded by state and national organizations
for its strong success with "soft" programs. Nonetheless, the Commission has insisted on
regularly evaluating these "soft" projects for cost effectiveness, and to only continue

those which clearly provide maximum benefit for minimal expenditure. To that end the
Commission ended its innovative experiment with telecommuting as a result of failure to
generate sufficient employer interest and involvement. To maintain its commitment to
telecommuting, this alternate mode of transportation was added as an eligible mode to
receive financial incentives.
The Commission will continue funding its Commuter Assistance Program in 1996/97 with
a projected budget of $1,471,204. To assist staff with administration and on -going
operations of a number of commuter assistance projects, a consulting firm has been
retained annually by the Commission. Based on superior performance, the Commission
has agreed to a modest increase in billing rates ranging from just over two percent (2%)
for the program manager, to slightly over 5% for administrative coordinators. The total
contract value is budgeted at $695,100. Although not a part of the Commission's
budget, the San Bernardino Associated Govemments contracts with the Commission for
administration and implementation of its rideshare programs, and employs the same
consulting firm.
The recent adoption of Rule 2202 by the South Coast Air Quality Management
District(SCAQMD) is projected to have significant impact on the Commission's
Commuter Assistance Program, particularly the incentive projects. Employers may now
select from a list of options (versus mandatory rideshare programs) to effect reductions
in air pollution. The Commission intends to be responsive to whatever the new employe
market will become. The Commission's various projects are being repositioned as a
benefit to compliment the employer's total benefit package. The projects will be
structured to supply employers with step by step instructions and customized marketing
materials to make participation in the projects cost effective for the employer.
Included in the Commuter Assistance Program budget is $150,000 for special project
development and/or contingencies. This will allow for new project development during
the year and staff/media support for efforts not anticipated such as special promotions,
transportation fairs, and evaluation surveys. State funding for the Southern California
Association of Governments Rideshare Department (formerly Commuter Transportation
Services, Inc.) is currently proposed to be eliminated in the Governor's 1996/97 budget. If
funding is not reinstated or other funding secured for the services provided at the regional
level, the impact of lost services to employers will be evaluated to determine if any should
be replaced by the Commission at the local level.
ETC TRANSPORTATION FORUMS: Forums are held by the Inland Empire Commuter
Services (IECS) project to provide continuing education programs and employer
networking opportunities as part of IECS's main objective - the provision of technical
support to employers who support rideshare at their worksites. This funding or $12,000
supports expenses not allowed under the federal Surface Transportation Program which
funds all other activities of IECS.

Advantage Rideshare - Freeway Project. To reduce single occupant vehicle trips, this
short term incentive project offers up to $2/day for each day new ridesharers use an
alternate mode of transportation in a three month period. Commuters must live in
western Riverside County and travel to work in adjoining counties. The budget 0f
$197,274 has been developed based on project experience, proposed marketing tasks,
and projected project goal.
It is estimated that the actual number of single occupant vehicle trips(i.e., commuters
driving alone-SOV) reduced for 1995/96 will be 580, or 97% of the goal. In anticipation of
the Inland Empire -Orange County Metrolink line opening, the goal was higher than
FY1994/95 which ended the year with 271 (48%) actual trips reduced. The number of
commuterwdriving alone reduced as a result of Metrolink ridership will account for about
60% of the FY1995/96 goal. The lower 1996/97 budget is a result of the lowered SOV
goal and reduced need for financial incentives.
Given that historically it has been more costly to reach and remove long distance SOV
drivers through employer marketing of the Freeway project, the proposed budget
includes a new line item for home -end marketing. The use of freeway billboards on State
Routes 91 and 60 will be tested to determine their effectiveness in advertising the
availability of rideshare incentives to long distance commuters.
Advantage Rideshare - Local Project: To reduce single occupant vehicle trips, this short
term incentive project offers up to $2/day for each day new ridesharers use an alternate
mode of transportation in a three month period. Commuters must live in western
Riverside County and travel to work within the County. The budget of $192,285 has been
developed based on project experience, proposed type of events, and projected project
goal.
It is estimated that the actual number of single occupant vehicle trips reduced for 1995/96
will be 660, or 110% of the goal. The goal was the same as 1994/95 which ended the
year with 946 (158%) actual trips reduced. The lower FY97 budget is a result of the
decreased SOV goal and reduced need for financial incentives.
Club Ride: To recognize the contribution of long term ridesharers, this project offers over
140 unlimited merchant discounts to commuters who live in western Riverside County
and have been ridesharing at least six months. In addition, Club Ride members receive
a quarterly newsletter. The budget of $178,860 has been developed based on project
experience, proposed marketing tasks, and projected project goal.
It is estimated that the actual number of memberships for 1995/96 will be 2,438 or 75%
of goal. The goal was less than FY1994/95 which ended the year with 2,397(48%) total
memberships, including first time and renewing members.
Experience has proven that staff goal estimates for Club Ride have been consistently too
high. Membership retention has proven to be difficult to estimate given the variety of
factors influencing continuance of ridesharing arrangements. The number of new
rideshare arrangements that may qualify after six months of actual ridesharing is just as
elusive. Given that, a membership goal of 2,800 remains aggressive. One of the lessons
37
Rivard;& ConnO)
n rtati®n
Commission
learned may be the fact that the combined total of new memberships and renewing
memberships has reached its peak and that growth in membership is unlikely to occur
under the existing program level of effort.
Club Ride's business partnership with merchants in the western county area remains
strong. The 1996 Club Ride Merchant Discount Catalogue includes 102 renewing
merchants and 39 new merchants representing a total offering of discounts at 141
business locations. In preparing the 1996 catalogue local merchants stated their high
satisfaction with Club Ride's program which is illustrated by the number of renewing
merchants.
To enhance the home -end marketing efforts, the software system has also been
enhanced to automatically generate Club Ride notices to commuters three months after
completing participation in Advantage Rideshare. Point of sales type marketing
containers are currently being tested at various types of locations (city hall, library, gas
station, AAA, etc.) to determine their marketing effectiveness in advertising Club Ride to
commuters and generating membership. While new mechanisms to reach commuters
will continue to be tested and evaluated, marketing through employers will remain the
focus in FY97 due to its cost effectiveness.
Commuter Exchange: The 40' mobile resource center attends various events such as
employer transportation fairs, community activities and schools to provide education and
materials regarding the importance and ease of using alternate modes of transportation
f�
The budget of $89,400 has been developed based on project experience, proposed type
of events, and projected goal.
It is estimated that the actual number of events participated in for 1995/96 will be 43 or
55% of the goal. As the Commission assumed operation of the Commuter Exchange
during 1995, no previous history was available upon which to base an event goal.
While the goal of 78 events was viewed to be reasonable when proposed by staff, two
unrelated reasons combined to impact the ability of the Commuter Exchange to meet its
target goal. First, the anticipation of changes to or elimination of Rule 1501 caused
employers to reduce program efforts earlier than projected. One of the easiest changes
was to not hold transportation fairs at their worksites. This trend was fueled by the fact
that the state did not fund California Rideshare Week which is historically the time around
which employers focus their fairs. Even though a bi-county rideshare week event was
sponsored successfully by our own Inland Empire Commuter Services project, the timing
was too short for employers to reschedule fairs. Typically, employer fairs represented
the largest percentage of events in which the Commuter Exchange participates.
Given that employers are not likely to reinstate transportation fairs under Rule 2202, new
educational venues for the Commuter Exchange have been considered. The most
interesting is that of educating children at the elementary school level providing an
opportunity to influence drivers of the future and at the same time disseminate
information to adult drivers in their home. The subject of ridesharing is a natura
complement to the various environmental programs such as recycling and water
conservation. In preparation for 1996/97, staff is in the process of developing a unit
geared at the third/fourth grade level that will be provided free to schools. The •

Commuter Exchange is ideally suited to offering "a field trip that comes to your
classroom". The rideshare education unit along with updating of the Commuter
Exchange's interior displays is scheduled to be completed by September 1996.
The 1996/97 goal of 52 events reflects the fact that schools and teachers will be a new
venue for the Commuter Exchange and it will take time for them to become aware of the
mobile field trip opportunity and schedule a visit at their school site. The Commuter
Exchange will also continue to participate at employer transportation fairs, community
events and multi -site business complexes as it has in the past.
Buspoo/ Subsidies: The adopted buspool policy provides a $25 per seat per month
($1,175/moihth/bus) Tubsidy to employer or commuter operated buspools to reduce the
monthly pass charge to western Riverside County commuters. Assume 3 existing
buspools and 1 new buspool for a total cost of $56,400.

Work -End Corporate Fleet Vehicle Demonstration Project: The Mobile Source Air
Pollution Reduction Committee (AB2766) awarded the Commission $50,000 in
December 1995. Upon approval to develop and submit the project, the Commission
also allocated $45,000 in Measure A co -matching funds for the total project budget of
$95,000. Project work is scheduled to begin in May '96 and it is estimated that $5,000 will
be expended prior to 1996/97. The demonstration project's goal is to foster the use of
employer owned fleet vehicles in providing shuttle type service between Orange County
train stations on the Inland Empire -Orange County Metrolink Line and worksites.
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Incentive Demonstration Project:: Funding of $150,000 has been
established to develop and implement a project to test the application of incentives in
fostering the use of alternative fuel vehicles by commuters. Project description currently
under development by staff. It is envisioned that the project would complement the
Commission's Clean Fuels Corridor Project (in partnership with SANBAG) to build various
CNG/LNG/EV fueling stations.
Inland Empire Commuter Services Inland Empire Commuter Services (IECS) was
formed in 1995/96 as a bi-county project with San Bernardino Associated Governments
when it was determined that the Inland Empire would assume direct responsibility for the
provision of local employer rideshare services as opposed to contracting with the new
SCAG Rideshare Department (formerly Commuter Transportation Services, Inc.). For
1995/96 and 1996/97 STP funds were approved by the Commission to support IECS
efforts. Staff submitted a proposal under the STP/CMAQ call for projects process and
competed for funding with all other agency proposals.
The transition was almost seamless to employers and has allowed staff to provide
services in a more proactive manner such as the "How to Select the Right Rule 2202
Option" workshop and Rideshare Week promotion. Staff is able to oversee the delivery
of services more directly and ensure their cost effectiveness. 1996 has provided a year
of experience from which to asses how and which employer services should be delivered
39
Riverside Corm,
Transportation
Commission
in 1996/97. Rule 2202 will have a direct impact on the type of rideshare services
employers consider high priority. To gleam a sense of where employers will likely head
over the next year as they transition from Rule 1501, one employer focus group was held
in Riverside County and one in San Bernardino County. Input from the two groups made
up of a cross section of employers is being incorporated into staffs analysis of current
employer services offered and possible restructuring.
While final service changes for 1996/97 have not been completed it is estimated that the
number of Forums will be reduced from monthly to quarterly. Employers indicated that
while they still value the ability to network with each other and participate in educational
programs, they anticipate having more limited time in the future as a result of Rule 2202.
Employers strongly emphasized their continuing need for rideshare technical support and
the ability to access information and materials from a single resource. Staff is evaluating
how most appropriate to meet employer needs for a resource center. Use of the fax
machines is also under consideration as a quick, efficient means of communicating
information and updates to employers.
Although performance measures will not be determined until finalization of rideshare
services, the following indicators reflect the type of measures which are projected to be
tracked:
• Coordination of AVR/ridematching service with employer
worksites.
• Provision of technical support services to employers.
• Establishment and marketing of a rideshare resource center.
• Creation of a Fast FAX network and delivery of information to
employers in a timely manner.
• Development and coordination of rideshare promotions and/or
workshops.
• Participation at sub -regional and regional level regarding
rideshare issues to provide leadership and coordination with
other transportation agencies and service providers.
• Development of computer tracking system to document types
and quantity of services received by employer.
• Provision of quarterly Forums in western Riverside County and
Networks in Coachella Valley.
The total amount budgeted for this program is $$294,910.
Rail & Ride Project: The funding for this project was awarded by Southern California
Association of Governments in 1995/96 under an informal call for projects from county
transportation commissions and Caltrans. The fund source fro the budgeted
expenditures of $55,075 is Surface Transportation Program (STP) monies allocated to
the region by the state for transportation demand management projects. While 75% of
the allocation went to the new SCAG Rideshare Department (formerly Commuter
Transportation Services), the 25% discretionary balance was required to be spent on
other projects.

The budget represents the second year of a two year project based on the project scope
of services approved by SCAG. The object of the project is to demonstration the
feasibility of incentives in encouraging commuters to use non-traditional modes of
transportation from a destination Metrolink station on the Inland Empire -Orange County
Line to a worksite in Orange County. The three month ($15/month) incentive was
designed to complement the commuter rail incentive available from Advantage
Rideshare.
Project costs of $1,471,204 along with personnel costs of $92,951, allocated overhead of
$41,015, and legal costs of $15,000, amounts to a total commuter assistance budget of

As the designated Congestion Management Agency for the County of Riverside, the
Commission administers and updates the state mandated Congestion Management
Program (CMP). The prior year work effort in this area primarily consisted of the required
biennial update of the program and follow up with local communities on their cognizant
efforts on ensuring CMP land use provisions of the program are met. The Commission
provides staff support and consulting support for this responsibility. The Proposed
1996/97 budget includes $30,000 for the services of a congestion management
consulting firm.
Several agencies are supported by the Commission in performing short range transit
planning functions through committees such as the Western Riverside Short Range
Transit Plan Commiitee_and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority(SCRRA)
Technical Advisory Committee. Staff support is also provided to the Commission's
Citizens Advisory Committee which makes recommendations to the Commission on
transit planning including coordination of social service transportation issues. In 1995/96,
the Commission, along with the Western County transit operators incorporated the
recommendations of the Barton Aschman report to have RTA lead the development of
the 1997-2003 Short Range Transit Plan. In the 1996/97 fiscal year, the Commission will
conduct unmet needs hearings, assist in coordinating the development, review and
approval of the annual countywide Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and allocate
transit funding resources. Transit funding includes local transportation and state transit
assistance funds under the state Transportation Development Act (TDA), and various
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) sources. The Commission's budget includes the 411)
STA funds as a budgeted special revenue fund. Total expenditures are estimated to be
$1,300,000. This amount is subject to state budgetary allocation, and may be revised
once the State's budget is adopted. The division of STA funds is based on a population
formula allocation with an 80/20 split between bus and rail transit.
Transportation Programming
There are a number of federal and state funding sources that are programmed by the
Commission. Coordination of the annual Transit Capital Improvement program submittal
to Caftans and the California Transportation Commission must be done through the
Commission. Annually Commission staff administers bicycle and pedestrian funds made
available through TDA funding sources and selects eligible projects which meet
established criteria. Local Transportation planning funds are also disbursed by the
Commission after a call for projects and an eligibility screening process.
Federal funds allocated to various agencies under ISTEA must be approved by the
Commission prior to submittal to the state. Those funds include STP discretionary and
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds, and the Transportation Enhancement
Activities program. As with the bicycle and pedestrian funds, projects are ranked and
selected based on meeting eligibility standards. These activities are carried out with the
staff supported involvement of the Commission's Technical Advisory Committee.

COMMUTER RAIL OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT
Department Overview and Budget -in -Brief
The Comm ssion is a member of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, an
agency created to build and operate a commuter rail system in Southern California,
which is governed by representatives of the transportation commissions in Riverside, San
Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties. RCTC holds two voting
positions on SCRRA's eleven member Board. The Commission provides funding and
technical assistance to the SCRRA, via the annual budget process and staff coordination
with the various SCRRA departments, as well as participation on the five -county
Technical Advisory Committee. Currently there are two operating commuter rail lines
serving Riverside County: Riverside to Los Angeles via Ontario, and San Bernardino via
Riverside to Irvine. Extensive capital improvements on the second line also provide the
rail infrastructure necessary to begin limited service from Riverside to Fullerton to Los 40
Angeles, a line originally envisioned as part of the rail plan for Southern California;
however, this service is dependent on the availability of new equipment as well as the
ability to operate the line within the budget constraints of Riverside, Orange and Los
Angeles counties. The Commission currently owns and operates four rail stations and
bears the costs of maintenance, security and utilities at those sites. The entire rail
program, including planning, programming and capital implementation, is supported by
Commission staff, legal counsel, and various consultants.

Departmental Budget Discussion
SCRRA is a joint powers authority(JPA), whose operation is funded entirely by its five
member agencies. In effect, the JPA is renewed every year through the adoption of
SCRRA's budget by all five counties. Service levels desired, operating preferences, and
the budget constraints of each county effect every other county. Since all but one of the
six Metrolink lines runs through more than one county, the member agencies share the
actual costs of operating the lines within their borders, and, through a complicated
formula, pay a portion of system wide overhead and administration. Constant
negotiation occurs between agencies' staff promoting the interests of their own counties
while trying to safeguard the system as a whole. With most technical issues being ironed
out before SCRRA Board action, the board members are freer to develop, discuss and
direct Metrolink policy. With the amount of interaction htat is required, the 1996/97
budget antcipates that one staff member will be devoted nearly full time to commuter rail
issues, with that time being shared with operational and development and
implementation issues.
The Inland Empire Metrolink rail line
between Riverside and Orange
Counties opened with great fanfare
in October 1995. Further extension
of this line to San Bernardino began
in March 1996. As a system, the
Metrolink met and exceeded every
benchmark set for ridership and
passenger revenues(i.e., farebox
recovery); it will close 1995/96 with
over 40% farebox recovery. The
system is, however, a victim of its 2,000
own success. Passenger load on
existing peak period trips is
approaching maximum seating
capacity on several routes. With
most existing train sets operating a
good part of each weekday, adding trips in peak periods has become a particularly
difficult challenge. Twenty-five additional passenger cars are on order (by virtue of Prop.
116, and state's decision to allow SCRRA to purchase), but they will not begin arriving
until early 1997. No additional funding source has been identified for future rolling stock
needs.

Though the Commission owns the San Jacinto Branch line, there are no funds available
to operate the line in the foreseeable future. As the remaining system continues to grow,
additional capital improvements will be necessary. With the completion of the currently
programmed projects, state rail bond funds will have been expended. The Measure A
capital commitment to commuter rail is also reaching its threshold. Some federal capital
dollars are accruing based on current operations, but havebot yet been accessed as the
expenditure of those funds carries restrictions. The Commission and the other member
agencies must seek or develop other additional sources for ongoing capital
requirements.

Efforts can now be focused on maintaining an already well received and efficient
commuter rail system. With two major freight railroads and two Metrolink routes
operating on one corridor through Riverside, extensive expansion of the Riverside -
Downtown station and layover facility was approved by the Commission. A significant
challenge for 1996/97 will be the coordination of design and construction with commuter
rail operations. Staff will also be assessing the viability of other potential stations to be
served by these routes.
A total of $3,045,000 has been
budgeted as the Commission's
contribution to the SCRRA for
Metrolink operations. The

Discussion
The motorist assistance
programs are excellent examples
of government providing cost
effective, "service" oriented
benefits to its customers(.e.,
commuters). The Service
Authority For Freeway
Emergencies and the Freeway
Service Patrol were instant
success stories with motorists,
and their popularity has grown
over time. This has occurred

Service Authority For Freeway Emergencies
There are thirty planned call box installations for fiscal year 1996/97 totalling $108,000 .
With these additions, the existing system, though growing in usage, appears to
adequately meet the need in the near term. Total call boxes in service will be 1,123, •
answering approximately 87,000 calls, and serving 657 miles of freeways within the
County. Budgeted costs are $356,420 for operations which includes California Highway
Patrol(CHP) staff support and phone access charges. An additional $344,766 is
budgeted for knockdowns, vandalism, and preventive and corrective maintenance. Other
direct costs include $50,000 for a consulting firm that provides support services such as
auditing monthly billings, monitoring system usage and supplying monthly reports.
One of the potential uses for call boxes is to monitor traffic levels and weather conditions.
The Commission is the lead manager in the Inland Empire for studying effective ways to
create "smart" highways. The traffic monitoring program will provide significant
improvements in count data for transportation engineering, planning, and modeling
purposes. Furthermore, fog and wind sensors can be integrated into the call box
communications system which can be very important in getting local weather advisories
to the general public. Total amount budget for this study(formally known as the Intelligent
Transportation System Strategic Deployment Plan) for 1996/97 is $400,000.
Freeway Service Patrol
The Freeway Service Patrol offers towing services to motorists stranded along three
segments of Route 91 and one segment of Route 60/1-215. The Commission contracts
with a tow truck operator to patrol these routes Monday through Friday during peak
commute hours. These contracts are estimated to increase by $56,017 from $513,000
to $569,017. The program's day to day field supervision is handled by the CHP;
overtime for two CHP field supervisors is estimated to cost $43,133. Communications
costs of $5,493 includes cellular phone service charges and radio air time. Equipment.
costs of $9,133 are for the lease purchase of radio communications and annual
computer maintenance and software. A budget of $10,400 has been set aside for
various promotional materials.

Departmental Budget Discussion
The Commission controls over 5,000,000 square feet of real property in the County of
Riverside. These properties are directly managed by the Commission and involve weed
abatement, fencing, obtaining appropriate liability coverage, and looking for opportunities
to sell or jointly develop. One of the parcels owned by the Commission is a 6,000
square feet , single story commercial building located in the City of Riverside. The
Commission fully manages all aspects of this building, and uses part of it to house the
Commuter Assistance Program consultant staff. An interdepartmental allocation is made
from Specialized Transportation to Property Management for use of this facility.
Property management expenditures are shared between highway and rail properties.
Total budgeted expenditures, including legal and personnel costs, have been set at
$293,486, a decrease of $49,352.

requirements will continue after the loans are made and the
pool participants will have ongoing compliance
responsibilities in connection with which tax covenants and
certificates will be obtained from each participant.
Coordination of each participant's needs and timing of those
needs will be essential in order to determine the availability
of exceptions to the arbitrage rebate requirement.

Jack Reagan, Executive Director
Riverside County Transportation Commission
3560 University Avenue, Suite 100
Riverside CA 92501
Re: Loan Against Future Measure "A" Allocations
Dear Mr. Reagan:
This is a formal request from the City of Norco to borrow up to $2.1 million
against the City's future Measure 'A" allocations. This request is the result of
the failure of the Target Center developer to purchase excess Caltrans right-of-
way land, the proceeds of which would have been used to off -set the City's
share of the cost of the Yuma interchange. Without this loan, the City will not be
able to fulfill its funding commitment under our cooperative agreement with
Caltrans and the Yuma interchange will be put in jeopardy.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Geraldi. . Johnson

Re: Lamb Canyon/Gilman Springs Project
Project Budget Projection
Dear Mr. Hughes,
As requested, I have revised the January 17, 1996, project budget projection to
incorporate more current information. For this analysis the authorized budget was
assumed to be $19,683,700 (Bid Amount plus 5% Contingency) since the actual
budget was unknown. Currently, the forecast shows that the authorized budget will
be exceeded by approximately $513,600 to reimburse the contractor for the projected
costs of agreed upon work. This overrun does not include any necessary funding to
address the State's concems for slope stability and rock fences, an overhead claim
that is expected from the Contractor, and additional grading or dikes that may be
necessary to rectify drainage problems within the interchange and graded parkways.
These costs will be estimated once the extent of the work is determined. Following
is an overview of the items that contributed to this overrun. The items were grouped
into the seven categories detailed below:
Requirements of Contract Documents - The items associated with these
costs were either inherent to the specifications or were necessary to complete
the project;
Unforeseen Conditions - These items include conditions uncovered in the
field that required remediation for public safety, that were necessary to protect
the project improvements, or modifications necessitated by foundation soils
being different than anticipated;
Field Changes - These items were implemented by the Resident Engineer as
cost saving measures, to improve public safety, or to address minor problems
associated with the plans;
Right -of -Way Obligations - These items consist primarily of revisions to fences
as requested by the R -O -W Agent or the State;
Design Errors - These items include rework that had to be done because the
original design would not function properly and consequently would not be
accepted by the State;
Mr. Bill Hughes April 23, 1996
continued Page 2 of 2
Item Overruns - These items incorporate quantities that exceeded the
Engineers Estimate and were not associated with a directed change or change
order;
Item Underruns - These items incorporate quantities that were below the
Engineer's Estimate and were not associated with a directed change or change
order.
The costs associated with each category is as follows:
Bid Amount $18,746,400
Requirements of Documents
Unforeseen Conditions
Field Changes
Right -of -Way Obligations
Design Errors
Item Overruns
Item Underruns
Authorized Changes
$319,600
683,800
<126,800>
8,400
116,700
629,200
<180,000>
1.450.900
Estimated Final Project Cost 20,197,300
Authorized Budget 19.683_700
Estimated Project Overrun $ 513.600
A more detailed analysis which identifies the major Items under each category is
attached. Also attached is the CCO Summary and Project Contingency Report which
shows the projected costs of all contract items and contract change orders.
I hope that the above addresses your questions conceming this matter. Please give
me a call if you have any questions or require further information regarding the above.
Very Truly Yours

Resident Engineer

In closing, 1 would like to note that the Survey Division has tried'
throughout the project to keep costs down by doing the project with
a 3 -person and sometimes a 2 -person crew. Ws have worked with Joe
Sieno and Mike Aparachio in an attempt to stay on topof work
requests and with Karl Sauer and Gary Martin to maintain a
consistency throughout the project with the requests and costs. We
will continue to do this. Thank you for giving this request your
consideration.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (909)

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 1, 1996
TO: Budget and Finance Committee
FROM: Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager
THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment 2 to the Agreement RO-9522 with the County
of Riverside to Perform Survey and Material Testing Services for the
Route 79 Lamb Canyon and Gilman Springs Grade Separation Project
The Commission approved Agreement RO-9522 with the County of Riverside to
perform survey and material testing services for the Route 79 Lamb Canyon and
Gilman Springs Grade Separation Project in the amount of $623,635 plus up to
$76,365 in extra work for a total amount of up to $700,000. Actual survey and
materials testing work requirements for the project were determined in the field by the
contractor, the resident engineer, and to some extent by the Caltrans engineer
assigned for oversight of the project. The County staff has provided their services as
directed, and has submitted a revised estimate for actual costs for their services
through completion of the project. The County estimate provided by the County
indicates that actual costs for their services will be $758,696.43 -- $58,696.43 over
the original amount authorized. The majority of the additional costs incurred was for
work related to slide removal and setting centerline monuments on the new alignment.
These tasks were not identified and included in the original scope of services used to
develop the project budget.
The appropriate changes to the agreement with the County of Riverside will be made
using standard contract amendment language and form, and will be identified as
Amendment 2 to Agreement RO-9522. The additional funds required by the County
of Riverside to cover the additional for work performed for construction of this project
will be taken from the Western County Area Measure A Highway Account as identified
in the FY 95-96 budget adjustments which were approved by the Commission at their
April, 1996 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Commission authorize approval of Amendment 2 to Agreement RO-9522 to
increase the total contract amount to $758,696.43. An additional $20,000 will be
placed in extra work to address any final project close out needs relating to survey and
material testing. A standard contract amendment will be used for this contract
change.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 1, 1996
TO: Budget and Finance Committee
FROM: Marilyn Williams, Senior Staff Analyst
THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director
SUBJECT: FY 96/97 Commuter Assistance Program Discussion and Budget
Consideration - -
At its April 10, 1996 meeting the Commission reviewed and discussed the status of
funding issues at the state level, impacts of Rule 2202 on employers and trip reduction
programs, and the direction of the Commissions' Commuter Assistance Program
(Program). Resolution of the state rideshare funding issue for FY97 is moving forward
in the budget process. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
Rideshare Department is estimated to receive $0.0 million representing a 00% budget
reduction.
The impacts as a result of the budget reduction are yet undefined. It is expected that
FY97 will be the last year in which the state will dedicate funds to regions for
ridesharing. The county transportation commissions will be expected in the future to
program funding for regional services as more local discretion regarding federal funds
is passed from the state to the regions. Staff will return to the Commission at a later
date to address future regional funding issues.
One focus of the Commission's discussion provided clarification that the single focus of
ridesharing programs at the local and regional level should be traffic congestion, not air
quality. It was the consensus of the Commission that improvement of air quality within
the region was most appropriately effected by technology applications such as
reformulated gasoline, alternative fuel vehicles, etc. Further, the Commission indicated
its opposition to the use of AB2766 motor vehicle fees at the regional or state level in
support of ridesharing programs.
The Commission acknowledged that Measure A established funding for commuter
assistance programs as approved by the voters to address traffic congestion problems.
In recognition of that the Commission's Commuter Assistance Program has focused its
efforts on providing incentives to encourage single occupant vehicle drivers to begin
using alternate modes of transportation. In support of that focus, services are also
provided to employers who encourage trip reduction actions by their employees. Public
education is also a part of the Program.
Page 2
In concluding the discussion, staff was directed to provide the Commission with a review
of the Commuter Assistance Program at its May meeting. The May agenda provides two
opportunities for the Commission to focus on the Program; first, as part of its FY96/97
budget review and second, as part of this agenda item. The Commission will note that
a detailed discussion by individual Program project is incorporated into the budget
document. In an effort to not repeat information, this agenda item will focus on a
summary of the project budgets by emphasis area, fund source and a cost analysis by
project goal where applicable.
The following projects comprise the proposed FY97 Commuter Assistance Program
totalling $1,471,204 and includes the following funding sources:
Measure A
Surface TransportationProgram
Local - $294,910
State - $ 55,075
AB2766 (MSRC)
$1,076,219 (73%)
$ 349,985 (24%)
$ 45,000 ( 3%)
The Commission will recall that under its current policy 2.5% of the Measure A Special
Transportation Program (5%) is budgeted for commuter assistance projects. The
estimated FY97 commuter assistance revenue is $956,984. While the revenue
projection is less than the budgeted Measure A projects any actual overage will be
funded by commuter assistance carryover funds which currently total $2,138,481.
Those projects considered to be the Programs core projects are preceded by the letter
"C" and those projects which are demonstration only are preceded by the letter "D".

Within the Program, commuter incentives represents 68% of the budget, employer
services makes up 26% of the budget, and public education takes 6% of the budget. As
the percentages indicate, the largest portion of the budget directly supports individual
commuter behavior. Provision of employer services maintains an important delivery
mechanism to commuters at their worksites where the majority of rideshare
arrangements are formed.
It is important to remember that the Commission's commuter assistance efforts are
unique for several reasons:
• Only county sales tax measure to include commuter assistance.
• First county transportation commission to offer coordinated incentives and support
services to commuters and employers.
• Participation at all levels is volQntary.
• Incentives and support services return sales tax dollars to commuters who elect
to rideshare and employers who can supplement their trip reduction efforts
through use of regionally available incentives and support services to reduce
overhead costs and supplement employee benefits.
• Trips reduced as a result of participation in incentive projects are documented and
tracked by commuter name and social security number.
• Success of projects has lead to replication of incentive projects by San Bernardino
Associated Governments for its commuters and employers. Bi-county partnership
has expanded into other project areas increasing effectiveness of projects and
reducing administrative costs associated with project implementation.
The Commission has annually reviewed the performance of its Commuter Assistance
Program and when appropriate, projects like the Telecommuting WorkCenter of Riverside
County have been terminated as a result of low cost effectiveness. In addition, staff has
prepared an updated cost analysis chart (attached as Exhibit A) which provides data on
the three core incentive projects. The chart compares adopted budget to actual
performance by year and provides an average cost per goal over the life of the project.
Not included on the chart is the Buspool Subsidy Project which provides a total subsidy
per buspool of $1,175/month based on $25/seat x 47 seats. To determine the cost
effectiveness per trip reduced, staff used the current average ridership (39) of the three
buspools times an average of 44 trips reduced per month (22 days X 2 trips). The
subsidy per total monthly trips reduced (1,716) equals $0.69. The buspool subsidy is
used to reduce the monthly pass cost paid by passengers.
Finally, as the Commission considers its commitment to commuter assistance efforts, it
is appropriate to mention the independent study of the three core incentive projects
conducted by Applied Management and Planning Group (AMPG) which was presented
to the Commission in April 1995. The survey covered a four year program period and
included random surveys of 514 commuters and 219 employers representatives. The
following excerpt's are quoted from the AMPG final report's executive summary
conclusions section:
•
•
•
Page 5
•
•
"The majority of commuters who participated in the incentive projects (91%)
continued to rideshare immediately after they stopped receiving their three month
incentives. ...ETC's have also recognized the success of the projects. Sixty-five
percent reported that 80 to 100 percent of employees who participated in all three
months of the incentives projects continue to rideshare after they stopped
receiving the incentives. ...When asked of their current home -to -work commute
mode, 68% of employees who participated in the incentive projects are currently
ridesharing. ...The incentive projects were effective in encouraging commuters
to stop driving alone and commence ridesharing. The majority of commuters
surveyed reported that the incentives received through the incentive projects were
either very effective or effective in encouraging commuters to start ridesharing.
...Overall, RCTC has effectively and efficiently administered the projects. Most
commuters and ETC's graded the administration and staff of the Commuter
Assistance Program with at 'SA". :..Outside circumstances, rather than
inconvenience or dissatisfaction with ridesharing, were reported to be the primary
reasons for commuters to cease ridesharing."
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Commission: 1) Reaffirm that the basic tenant of its Commuter Assistance
Program is trip reduction; 2) oppose the use of AB2766 funds for rideshare programs at
the state and regional levels; and, 3) review and approve any changes pursuant to
Commission discussion, to the FY96/97 Commuter Assistance Program projects as
summarized in this agenda item, and direct staff to incorporate said changes in the
Commission's FY96/97 Annual Budget.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 1, 1996
TO: Budget and Finance Committee
FROM: Marilyn Williams, Senior Staff Analyst
THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Quick Charge Program Request for Proposal
OVERVIEW OF RFP
The Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC), also known as
AB2766, has issued a request for proposals #9596-48 as an element of its FY95-97
Discretionary Fund Work Program. The Quick Charge Program is comprised of two
complementary components:
1) Electric Vehicle Price Buvdown Program funded at $6 million is designed to
promote the introduction of zero emission vehicle by providing a $5,000
buydown incentive per vehicle for both the purchase and lease of electric
vehicles; and,
2) Electric Vehicle Corridor Communities Program funded at $1.6 million is
designed to assist local governments in preparing for electric vehicles by testing
the consumer market for electric vehicles and demonstrating the infrastructure,
permitting process, and coordination within and between communities, utilities
and manufacturers that will be necessary to facilitate the smooth introduction
of electric vehicles.
The Corridor Communities Program, hereafter referred to as "Quick Charge",
designated three corridors as the initial focus for the RFP. The I-215/SR-91 corridor
from Temecula to Gardena is one of the specified corridors along with the 1-10 corridor
from Redlands to Santa Monica. The purpose of Quick Charge is to support the
deployment of electric vehicles along designated corridors and within communities that
have committed to being "EV Ready" by encouraging the lease or purchase of electric
vehicles, installation of public charging infrastructure and adoption of EV friendly
ordinances and procedures.
To be considered "EV Ready", communities participating in a proposal must commit
to satisfying the following minimum requirements:
• Adopt Uniform Building Code and National Electric Code Revisions.
• Adopt revised local ordinances as necessary to support deployment of charging
infrastructure.
Page 2
■ Streamline the permitting process to allow for residential charging equipment
installation within 72 hours of vehicle purchase or lease.
• Schedule formal consideration of building code ordinance revision that require
a 3/4" raceway from the electrical service panel to an appropriate location for
EV charging in all new residential garages.
• Schedule consideration of a building code ordinance that requires that
recharging capability be installed in new commercial developments.
• Train emergency -response providers.
Proposals submitted by a team of two or more local governments are highly
encouraged and may include utilities, private entities and business enterprises. A local
government entity must submit the proposal on behalf of the team. Proposers are
strongly encouraged to include the following elements to the maximum extent possible
in their proposals as project oo-funding 1) purchase or lease of electric vehicles for
municipal fleets, 2) commit to maintain and indemnify public recharging infrastructure;
and, 3) commit to cost -share the purchase and/or installation of public charging
infrastructure. In addition, use of AB2766 subvention funds as project co -funding is
acceptable and encouraged.
Under Quick Charge a county minimum funding level was set at $150,000. The RFP
states that funding will be awarded for the following: 1) public, municipal or
commercial recharging infrastructure including the costs of purchasing or leasing
charging equipment and its installation, 2) coordination of local marketing efforts with
local EV dealerships, 3) educational programs (materials only); and, 4) training for
municipal fleet mechanics. Other innovative uses may be proposed.
Proposals are due on July 10, 1996 and will be evaluated on a competitive basis.
They must meet the minimum requirements noted above to receive funding. Proposals
will be evaluated on the following criteria:
EV procurement commitment for FY96/97:
Installation of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure:
Infrastructure cost sharing:
Bonus points for additional co -funded proposal elements:
25 points
25 points
50 points
25 points
The Planning Center has been retained by the MSRC to serve as coordinator for the
Quick Charge Program. Ms. Stephanie Cohn, Quick Charge Outreach Coordinator, is
scheduled to make a brief presentation at the May Commission meeting regarding the
Program and will be available to answer questions.
ISSUE
At its December 1995 meeting the Commission approved a Clean Fuels Corridor
Project in partnership with San Bernardino Associated Governments to build alternative
fuel charging stations along major corridors in the Inland Empire. The Project was
funded by each agency under their respective FY95 AB2766 ISTEA/TCM Partnership
Programs as approved by the MSRC. Co -funding was provided by the various utility
partners at an amount exceeding the required 50% match. Of the approved $372,500
Page 3
•
MSRC funds (plus earned interest), no funds have been or will be expended on
Commission or consultant staff involved with the implementation of the project. Staff
hours are absorbed as part of the Commission's Measure A funded Commuter
Assistance Program.
To implement the project staff entered into a funding agreement with the MSRC and
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), negotiated and executed
contracts with Edison EV (including the City of Riverside Public Utilities Department)
and the Gas Company to build public access stations, selected station sites, and is
monitoring status of work progress pursuant to contract terms.
Included in the Clean Fuels Corridor Project is the construction of electric vehicle
charging stations at 10 sites, eight of which are located in western Riverside County.
Staff has developed a strong Working relationship with - Edison EV through
implementation of the Project and Commission legal counsel prepared all Project
contracts with the utilities.
QUESTION: Given the Commission's leadership to date regarding implementation of
clean fuel infrastructure in Riverside County and in recognition of its role as a short
range planning entity charged with development and construction of transportation
infrastructure, should the Commission coordinate, prepare and submit a Quick Charge
proposal in partnership with other local government agencies in western Riverside
County?
The question is raised to seek guidance from the Commission given that the Western
Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) placed an item on its April 18, 1996
Technical Advisory Council agenda seeking approval to "proceed to implement a Quick
Charge program element". While staff from the two agency's have worked
cooperatively together to ensure that local communities are aware of the Quick Charge
opportunity, the question has been raised at the policy level regarding which agency
should assume lead responsibility in responding to the Quick Charge RFP.
WRCOG, the County of Riverside, and the City of Palm Desert also have been involved
in EV programs. RCTC programmed $192,750 of Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality
(CMAQ) funds for FY 1994-95 to WRCOG for a "clean fuel incentive program. It is
our understanding that WRCOG staff has spent some time working with its member
agencies' staff to lay the groundwork for deployment of electric vehicle fleets vehicles.
However, Caltrans has not received requests for reimbursement of expenses by
WRCOG, so it is uncertain at this time how much of the funds may remain available
to provide supplemental write downs for local governments for purchase of EVs or
infrastructure investment to integrate with the Quick Charge program. RCTC also
programmed $64,500 of CMAQ funds for FY 1994-95 to the County of Riverside for
"electric vehicle purchase". We also programmed $$120,000 CMAQ funds for FY
1995-96 and 1996-97 to the County for electric vehicle infrastructure in Sun City. It
is our understanding that all of these funds remain available for the programmed
purpose, which could be integrated with the Quick Charge program. Although no
CMAQ money has been programmed, the City of Palm Desert has an active EV
program. They have funded charging stations at local commercial outlets and have
Page 4
been successful at obtaining special state legislation to enable electric golf carts to
operate on city streets, and is the model for the program the County of Riverside
envisioned for Sun City. Although Palm Desert is beyond the eastern terminus of the
Quick Charge program corridor (Redlands), it may be possible to find sufficient
flexibility in the program to facilitate or coordinate their participation as a countywide
effort.
Based on the RFP requirements and July 10th submittal deadline, significant effort will
be required in a short timeframe to: determine local agency interests in participating
in the proposal; develop an infrastructure project based on local needs and interests;
define and secure, through agency action, co -funding resources and commitments to
the EV Ready requirements; prepare cost estimates and timeline by project tasks; and,
write and submit the proposal. Assuming approval of the proposal, the lead agency
will be required to enter into an agredYnent with the MSRC and SCAQMD to implement
the project as proposed and provide all required progress reports and invoice
documentation.
As noted earlier in the overview discussion, one agency is required to assume lead
responsibility for submittal of the proposal on behalf of all participants. The MSRC will
not accept co -applicant's. The proposal team can, of course, be structured in various
ways to reflect the expertise and in -kind staff contributions which each participant will
make in support of the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Commission: 1) Review the Quick Charge Program and its requirements, 2)
consider the question of which agency, RCTC or WRCOG, should take the lead in
responding to the Quick Charge RFP; and, 3) direct staff as to what action it should
take with respect to the Quick Charge Program.
