3. Approval of Minutes
M/S/C (Wassil/Boyd) approve the minutes dated February 11, 2002.
4. Public Comments
There were no public comments.
5. CMAQ OBLIGATIONS FOR FEDERAL FISCAL YEARS 00/01 AND 01/02
Shirley Medina, RCTC, reminded the TAC that in 2001 the CMAQ balance was
not obligated which resulted in a 6 -month extension. She said that $7.8M still
needs to be obligated by June 2, 2002. RCTC recently became aware of the
need to purchase approximately $5M in ROW for the SR 60HOV project in
Moreno Valley. This project, along with an upcoming obligation of $2.5M for
PE for the San Jacinto project, would meet the $7.8 target if obligated by June
2, 2002. All other projects identified on the extension list must still be obligated.
However, if the above 2 projects are obligated by June 2nd,
The next deadline will be September 30, 2002.
Eric Haley, RCTC, pointed out that it is expected that next year there will be an
early 6 -year CMAQ call for projects, which may be about $60-80M in the West
and about a quarter of that in Coachella Valley. He said that the numbers are
not dear and that he is requesting assistance from the TAC in establishing
criteria.
Cathy Bechtel, RCTC, stated that the call will probably be in the early summer
of 2003.
6. CMAQ/PM10 ISSUES IN COACHELLA VALLEY
Shirley Medina handed out a South Coast Air Quality Management District
letter regarding eligibility of projects for the PM 10 program in the Coachella
Valley. She stated that in the past 2 years there have been problems getting
projects approved for eligibility under CMAQ and meetings have been held with
CVAG, Caltrans, FHWA, cities and RCTC to resolve PM 10 project eligibility
issues. CVAG and the local agencies have been creative in developing
projects to reduce PM10. The meetings resulted in CVAG resubmitting their
PM10 projects for the year to Caltrans and FHWA. FHWA Region 9 staff, Bob
O'Loughlin, stated that he supports many of the PM10 projects and will work
with the new local FHWA staff person to get projects obligated.
7. TEA PROJECT EXTENSIONS — STATUS
Shirley Medina stated that RCTC is required to meet the balance of $1.5M by
June 2, 2002. These are projects that were given an extension specifically by
CTC. She indicated that she has spoken with all the agencies and all the
Technical Advisory Committee Minutes
March 18, 2002
Page 3
paperwork for obligation is at Caltrans or will be soon. It is expected that there
will not be a loss in TEA funds.
8. TEA REPROGRAMMING OF $572,000
Shirley Medina reminded the TAC that this is a carryover from the last TAC
meeting wherein $572,000 is available from the Palm Desert project that was
awarded a couple of years ago and since construction did not occur as
planned, the money was returned and is now available for reprogramming.
Discussion centered on the projects that can be obligated in a quick timeframe
and it was agreed that the $572,000 be spread amongst all the projects on the
list that were funded since the RCTC originally increased the local match in
order to fund as many projects or keep projects whole without under funding
projects. The reprogramming of the $572,000 would help reduce the amount of
local match.
MIS/C (Motlagh/Wassil) to spread the $572,000 equally among the funded
TEA projects.
2002 STIP — STATUS
Shirley Medina handed out the 2002 Staff Recommendations — Regional
Program Projects spreadsheet from the CTC and explained the notations
thereon. She pointed out that at the very bottom it says that "The following
RTIP projects were identified as from an advance of future county share and
are not included in the Staff Recommendation." She said that statement is in
error and the four projects listed will be included in the 2002 STIP that will be
adopted in April.
Mark Greenwood, City of Palm Desert, posed a question regarding a joint
project between the City of Palm Desert and the City of Rancho Mirage on
Monterey Avenue. He said Monterey is under the congestion management
program, which is closely monitored. He asked if the level of service on that
roadway gets degredated because of the development outside the area putting
the impact on Monterey, is it possible to move the project forward and get back
reimbursements.
Ms. Bechtel answered that there is a process called AB 3090 that will be
considered by the CTC where you can use your local funds and get reimbursed
by the STIP dollars later. She said that there is a specific process for that
which includes a submittal to the CTC saying you do not want to wait until
05/06. She stressed that money should not be spent until an approval is
received from the CTC. Ms. Bechtel informed the TAC that the CTC webpage
contains information regarding AB 3090.

Ms. Medina said that the next agenda will include an update on AB 3090,
specifically as it relates to language and clarification.
10. STIP INTRACOUNTY FORMULA ADJUSTMENT
Shirley Medina stated that RCTC will go to the April Commission meeting
requesting an adjustment under the STIP Intracounty MOU to request the
allocation of STIP funds be adjusted consistent with the development of the
STIP, from February every even year to February every odd year. Ms. Bechtel
pointed out that currently the adjustment is made off cycle and we always have
to do corrections to the STIP and our intemal monitoring after the fact.
Eric Haley added that this is a three party agreement and that the MOU is
between WRCOG, CVAG and the Commission and that all three organizations
have to approve the schedule change. He said that it should be fairly neutral in
that in the first 2 cycles there is no clear trend — both cycles in the Coachella
Valley have gone up a minor amount. He said that unfortunately for Palo Verde
Valley, both cycles dropped which reflects the population growth in the West
and the sales tax growth that goes with it.
A motion was made to adjust the percentage for allocation of STIP funds in the
odd years.
M/S/C (Harry/Wassil) to adjust the percentage for allocation of STIP
funds from every even year to every odd year.
11. MEASURE A REAUTHORIZATION — STATUS
Eric Haley informed the TAC of a May 13 Ad Hoc Committee meeting during
which a Measure A expenditure plan was adopted. He said it is a $4.6 Billion
dollar, 30 year program and the splits are as follows:
Highway improvements are just over $1 Billion, with an assumption of
$640M in STIP money. These are Western numbers and the Coachella
Valley has a different formula. He said that of the $4.6 Billion, about $1
Billion, $255 Million is to Coachella Valley. They have, a substantially
different plan than the Western County.
He said that in the West, there will be a $380M commitment to the
CETAP corridors for engineering, design and right of way acquisition for
at least the first 3 corridors. He said that the fourth corridor, Orange
County, is still very tentative.
He further stated that there is a possibility that the $380M may drop to
$300M and $80M additional will go to a grouping of commuter rail,
intercity bus, specialized transit and ridesharing.
Technical Advisory Committee Minutes
March 18, 2002

Mr. Haley further stated that the next category is regional arterial
projects. He specified that there are about 14 or 15 named regional
arterial projects which is at $300M instead of $500M, the difference of
which was switched over to road maintenance. The streets and roads
piece is $970M, roughly 30% of the package and there is a $270M bond
of finance reserve and a to be defined economic development number at
$80M, the smallest category on the list.
He explained that Coachella Valley is split 3 ways — highways and
regional arterials at $628M, local streets and roads at about 30% at
$439M, and 15% for specialized public transit at $188M. He commented
that Palo Verde Valley is entirely streets and roads at $47M for the life of
Measure A.
Eric Haley remarked that the key issue is how TUMF is going to play out,
how big it will be. He said that the range of estimates on that are $1,500
per dwelling unit to $4,500
Cathy Bechtel commented that included in the Measure is the
requirement that the cities have to support the MSHCP and TUMF to be
able to get the road maintenance dollars.
Further discussion re the Measure A extension ensued with questions
and answers.
12. CETAP STATUS
Cathy Bechtel explained that CETAP documents are a little behind schedule
and a draft environmental document which was expected to go out in May will
go out in June or early July, 2002. The request of more information is affecting
RCTC's budget and schedule. She said that she plans to go forward to the
Plans and Programs Committee meeting on March 25 to request an additional
allocation of planning, programming and monitoring funds that are available in
the Western County (approximately $700,000). She further stated that she is
appealing to San Bemardino County for additional allocations to help on the
Moreno Valley to San Bernardino Corridor and that RCTC has received a half
million dollars from San Bernardino County agencies already but she is looking
for a full 50=50 share of costs on this.
Ms. Bechtel said that the MSHCP Administrative draft went out on March 7,
which includes a section on Primitive Projects that will be covered by the
MSHCP. She encouraged TAC members to ascertain that the MSHCP
includes their projects and if not, they should advise the County immediately.
She further stated that the County is planning on holding public hearings on
their general plan in late April or early May.

13. POTENTIAL CONFORMITY LAPSE ISSUE REGARDING EMISSION
FACTORSNEHICLE FLEET MIX
Shirley Medina reported that there is a potential conformity issue in California
and that the next conformity finding for the 2002 RTIP is due October 6, 2002.
If the conformity issues regarding vehicle fleet mix are not resolved by October,
it could impact the 2002 RTIP approval by FHWA.
14. RCTC PROJECT TRACKING
Ken Lobeck, RCTC, reported that he will either mail out the project tracking lists
or hand them out at the April TAC meeting.
15. RCTC MARCH 13 COMMISSION MEETING
Cathy Bechtel handed out the March 13 Commission Connection and stated
that the focus of that meeting was Metrolink and delay issues on the UP line as
well as law suits the Metrolink is tiling against the UP.
16. OTHER BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS
Shirley Medina handed out an invitation from Caltrans for Demonstration
Grants for FY 2002/03 on environmental justice.
Juan Perez said that the July TAC meeting falls on the same day as the ITE
Conference in Palm Desert, which is the week of July 14 through July 17.
Ray Meijer, Caltrans, announced that Caltrans is hosting a STIP class on May
7. Shirley Medina said that someone from Caltrans Headquarters will be there
and that RCTC will also participate.
17. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business for consideration by the Technical Advisory
Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 11:10 A.M. The next meeting is
scheduled for April 15, 2002, 10:00 a.m., at RCTC offices.

AGENDA ITEM 5
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
April 15, 2002
TO:
Technical Advisory Committee
FROM:
Shirley Medina, Program Manager
SUBJECT:
2002 STIP Adoption
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
The 2002 STIP was adopted by the California Transportation Commission (CTC)
on April 4, 2002. The CTC staff recommendations were approved with
corrections noted. Attached are the recommendations that were handed out at
the March 18, 2002 TAC meeting and errata that denote the four projects we
originally identified as "4th year" funds are recommended for programming in the
2002 STIP.
STIP Amendments —
Those projects listed on the CTC Staff Recommendation as "future
programming" need to be amended into the STIP as soon as possible. As
reported last month, there is a lack of funding capacity in the 2002 STIP and
there is a possibility that funding would not be available if projects wait until the
end of the year to be amended. Given this reality, many agencies throughout the
state will be rushing to get projects included in the 2002 STIP over the next few
months. Once funding capacity is fully subscribed the next opportunity to
program projects will be in the out years of the 2004 STIP, fiscal years 2007/08
and 2008/09.
AB 3090 —
Included with the attachments is AB 3090. This bill provides agencies the
opportunity to advance projects using their local funds and receive
reimbursement of STIP dollars in the year the project is programmed in the STIP.
The most important aspect of this bill is that the agency would be required to
enter into an agreement with Caltrans prior to commencement of the project.
The agreement would also require the lead agency to adhere to state and federal
requirements for implementing projects.
Transportation Finance Bank —
The Transportation Finance Bank Revolving Loan Program is another alternative
that can provide agencies the opportunity to accelerate project delivery.

2002 STIP Staff Recommendations
Enclosed are the Commission Staff Recommendations for the 2002 State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP). State law requires that the Executive Director of the Commission make the Staff
Recommendations available to the Commission, Caltrans, and regional agencies at least 20 days prior to
the adoption of a new STIP. The Commission has scheduled the adoption of the 2002 STIP for its
April 3-4 meeting in Sacramento.
The 2002 STIP adds three new programming years, FY 2004-05 through FY 2006-07. Under the 2002
STIP Fund Estimate adopted in August 2001, the total capacity for adding new projects is $3.84 billion.
Against this capacity, Caltrans and the state's regional transportation planning agencies have nominated
about $4.221 billion in new project funding. This means that the Commission cannot include all project
nominations and must make choices about the projects to be included. The Commission must also match
project funding to the year -by -year STIP capacity identified in the Fund Estimate.
GRAY DAVIS'
GOVERNOR
MAR 18 2002
TRANSPORTATIOCOUNTY M SI •
ON
The 2002 Staff Recommendations lay out a proposed STIP that conforms to the Fund Estimate and
includes $3.632 billion in project programming. That would leave $208 million reserved for STIP
amendments and adjustments, including cost increases due to project rescheduling.
The Staff Recommendations present a listing of all the projects recommended, together with specific
concerns and unresolved issues identified by staff for. the Commission's consideration in adopting the
final STIP in April. The staff will present an update on these issues at the April 3-4 meeting.

$320 as an Advance Project Development Element (APDE) project. For the Route 36
east widening project (PPNO 3040), which was originally proposed in the RTIP and
ITIP for joint funding and not included in the Staff Recommendation, add the project
as an APDE project, with programming of $845 from the RIP and $362 from the IIP
for PS&E in FY 02-03. With these changes, the total new RTIP programming
(including APDE) is $11,949, the balance advanced is $988, and the total APDE is
$1,938.
• Los Angeles. For a prior STIP project, Montebello Beverly Blvd widening (PPNO
2367), change $3,042 for construction from FY 02-03 to FY 03-04.
• Los Angeles. Add $9,000 for the Route 101 Van Nuys Blvd off -ramp project (PPNO
2789), including $8,000 from the interregional program and $1,000 from the Los
Angeles county share, on the condition that the commitment of the Los Angeles
county share funding is confirmed by action of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority at its next opportunity. This programming is to include
$205 for environmental in FY 02-03, $921 for PS&E in FY 04-05, $118 for R/W and
$98 R/W support in FY 04-05, and $6,487 for construction and $1,171 for

AB 3090 - ADVANCE EXPENDITURE OF STATE FUNDS
AB 3090 reimbursement authority enables a local agency to advance a programmed STIP, TCI,
or Proposition 116 project through the use of its own funds. This means a local agency can
request to advance a project by using the agency's own funds, to fund the local share and the
state's share for the project, prior to the allocation of state funds in the year programmed. Any
AB 3090 request must be forwarded to the appropriate.TPA for regional approval and to the
appropriate Caltrans district office for processing and scheduling for Commission approval. The
AB 3090 request will be acted upon at the applicable Commission monthly meeting and
approved via a Commission resolution.- The cooperative agreement which is developed by the
local agency and the Department prior to Commission approval along with the Commission's.
approved resolution, provides the agency authority to commence expending funds. The
Department shall reimburse a local agency for the actual cost of constructing the project,
including the acquisition of right-of-way or construct an agreed -upon substitute project. Interest
or other debt service costs incurred by local agencies to finance right-of-way acquisition or
construction for the project are not'reiinbursable costs.
