AGENDA ITEM 6A Agenda Item 6A RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 12, 2022 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Lisa Mobley, Administrative Services Manager/Clerk of the Board THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Resolution No. 21-020, Authorizing Virtual Board and Committee Meetings Pursuant to AB 361 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1)Reaffirm the findings in Resolution No. 21-020, “A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Authorizing Virtual Board and Committee Meetings Pursuant to AB 361”. Those findings are as follows: a)The Governor proclaimed a State of Emergency on March 4, 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which state of emergency continues to existing today; and b)State or local officials have recommended measures to promote social distancing. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since the onset of the COVID-19 in early 2020, California government agencies have been able to continue to discharge their legal responsibilities through the use of virtual teleconferencing platforms such as Zoom to hold public meetings that enabled agencies to meet and conduct business, comply with social distancing orders and most importantly, provide access to the public. In many cases, virtual meetings have actually enhanced public participation, particularly in larger counties including Riverside County where traveling to a public meeting can be inconvenient or require traveling a long distance. Both the RCA and RCTC have been meeting on Zoom since March of 2020, when many Executive Orders were issued by Governor Newsom in response to the pandemic. One such order altered Brown Act requirements to allow for virtual meetings. Although transmission, hospitalization and death rates from COVID-19 have sharply declined since the original onset of the pandemic and subsequent Delta Variant surge, an air or uncertainty remains regarding the pandemic and many counties continue to recommend masking inside and social distancing. Given that environment and a desire to continue allowing for the flexibility of holding virtual meetings, the Legislature recently approved, and Governor Newsom signed, Assembly Bill 361 to temporarily allow for virtual meeting under proscribed circumstances. 1 Agenda Item 6A AB 361 Effective immediately, AB 361 amends the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology in certain circumstances. Under the Bill, legislative bodies can continue to meet remotely as long as there is a “proclaimed state of emergency” and the Commission can make either of the following findings: (a) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or (b) whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. The Governor proclaimed a State of Emergency on March 4, 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which State of Emergency continues to exist to this day. Further, both State and Riverside County officials continue to recommend the social distancing. AB 361 requires specific procedural safeguards for the public. To accommodate individuals during these teleconferences and virtual meetings, a public comment period will be offered where the public can address the legislative body directly in real time. Additionally, public comments will be allowed up until the public comment period is closed at the meetings. The agenda will include information on the manner in which the public may access the meeting and provide comments remotely. If technical problems arise that result in the public’s access being disrupted, the legislative body will not take any vote or other official action until the technical disruption is corrected and public access is restored. The attached Resolution allows the Board to implement AB 361 by making the findings discussed above. This findings will be in effect for 30 days or until the Board makes findings that the conditions listed therein long longer exist, whichever is shorter. The findings can be extended by the Board upon a finding that conditions supporting the findings included in the Resolution still exist. The authorization to meet remotely will apply to any Committees that meet during the 30- day effective period. AB 361 will allow for virtual meetings during other state-proclaim emergencies, such as earthquakes or wildfires, where physical attendance may present a risk. AB 361 is scheduled to sunset January 1, 2024. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Reafirm the findings in Resolution No. 21-020, “A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Authorizing Virtual Board and Committee Meetings Pursuant to AB 361”.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Commissioner Kevin Jeffries led the Commission in a flag salute. At this time, John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director, presented a tribute to Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of RCTC, because of her retirement in December 2021. 5 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 2 Anne Mayer, Executive Director, recognized and expressed extreme appreciation to Theresia Trevino for everything she has done at RCTC and was delighted that her family came today to be able to hear the accolades that are being shared. Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer, expressed appreciation as she has enjoyed her career and especially her time at RCTC. She expressed gratitude to the Commissioners for their trust, the many bond rating trips to New York, and Commission Workshops and to the RCTC staff. Larry Rubio, Riverside Transit Agency’s (RTA) Chief Executive Officer, along with the RTA’s incoming Chief Executive Officer Kristin Warsinski congratulated and honored Theresia Trevino on her retirement and presented her with a proclamation. Theresia Trevino thanked her family for all their years of support while at RCTC and she cannot wait to spend more time with her family. Commissioner Karen Spiegel expressed appreciation to Theresia Trevino for being a role model both traveling as she had the opportunity to go to New York with Ms. Trevino, but to show her dedication and tremendously hard work she puts in, and that she also likes to relax and put dedication into play. She expressed knowing she will spend time with her family and friends, but her legacy has been left with them. Second Vice Chair Bob Magee expressed the true test of an individual is how they handle adversity. He stated when the 2008 financial markets crashed Ms. Trevino came to the Commission and explained what happened and outlined a plan to save RCTC’s investments to the greatest extent possible and he expressed that is a moment in time he will never forget. He expressed appreciation for Ms. Trevino’s calm leadership during that financial tragedy and that she will be missed. Chair Harnik expressed having worked with Ms. Trevino and going on these New York trips, there is nothing like having Theresia Trevino do a presentation and then say to all these high powered and experienced people in the room are there any questions and there is silence. It is because she covers it all, is so efficient, so effected and it is amazing. Chair Harnik expressed appreciation of her first experience with Theresia Trevino and she was a new Commissioner, and the Commission was swapping out interests that they would be voting on and how Ms. Trevino met with her and provided her with all sorts of information. She expressed this really illustrates her expertise because Ms. Trevino could explain it and she understood and felt very comfortable voting. Chair Harnik expressed that Theresia Trevino is an asset to RCTC, to every Commissioner, staff member, and that she will be missed. Commissioner Chuck Washington expressed recalling fondly years ago leading up to the year he would serve as Chair of RCTC he joined Anne Mayer and Theresia Trevino and went back to New York for the tour with the rating agencies and even though it was a 6 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 3 business trip there were times to go out for lunch or dinner and get to know one another a little bit better. He noted only knowing the “numbers” or kind of dry side of Theresia Trevino and in New York he got to know the “afterwork” Theresia Trevino who enjoyed going out with friends, conversations around family, other activities outside of work, enjoyed being with the group in New York, and she has a very good sense of humor. He expressed appreciation for the time he was able to spend with Ms. Trevino in New York and congratulated her on her many years of service and to have a great retirement. 4.

He asked if it does hold that up directly does that still affect any other rail programs that may impact RCTC. Anne Mayer replied the PEPRA issue is really complicated and there is potential that there could be impacts. Staff is working together with the California Transit Association and other member agencies specifically Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) and LA Metro here in Southern California who are really taking the lead in trying to work through those issues with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Anne Mayer stated it is a U.S. Department of Labor determination and suggested it is something that they need to watch very carefully. She expressed being optimistic this will be resolved, keeping PEPRA in place and then also making sure the federal money can flow, but it is in the Department 11 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 8 of Labor’s hands, and staff will stay very closely engaged with their partners. LA Metro, OCTA, and the Bay Area Transit Agencies have a lot of information and ability to share that information in a way that hopefully can be convincing. The current FTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez is formerly the general manager and CEO in Santa Clara County, so she is very familiar with California and its needs. In the meantime, staff has identified funds the Commission has authorized if their transit partners need loans to float them through until they get the federal funds. Commissioner Steven Hernandez stated sustainability, equity, and environmental justice they have been identifying it at RCTC and at Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) a lot of these projects that could potentially qualify. He asked if the feds would go with the state criteria of what sustainability, equity, and environmental justice means or is there another federal criterion that is going to be applied to these projects. Commissioner Hernandez asked for all of their agencies if RCTC is willing to work with their cities to identify projects that can potentially fit under these three categories. David Knudsen replied for many of the federal grants those eligibility requirements are yet to be determined for federal funding and they would likely be similar but different requirements then where the state is. He stated in terms of helping their member agencies they want to support the County to get its fair share and more so RCTC will want to help support those efforts as much as they can. Anne Mayer noted this also goes back to Mr. Knudsen’s comment about how engaged they were in the process of the development of the language. She stated they need to stay very closely engaged in the guideline development to ensure anything that is defined translates to the needs here in Riverside County and so it is a concern that the definition of those words could mean something different to several people. Anne Mayer explained they need to make sure however they are defined they are defined in away that is inclusive for Riverside County so their projects can be eligible and that their community’s projects and priorities are seen as viable candidate projects in those discretionary pots. Commissioner Karen Spiegel stated to go along with both the previous questions from Commissioners Hernandez and Hewitt and noted as Mr. Knudsen stated under roads, bridges, and highways he dropped off roads. She expressed concern if the dollars come from the feds to the state will they have to follow the criteria of the state because she is aware there has been a push back on the expansion of their roadways. Anne Mayer replied roads absolutely need to be in the mix and one of the things that is a priority is they are advocating for as much of the federal money as possible to be distributed at the local and regional levels, so that local and regional priorities can move forward based on those funding types. She stated from what they have seen it appears money that flows through the state will also have an additional layer of screening on it that may or may not impact the kinds of projects that get funding. Anne Mayer suggested they will have to remain diligent to make sure that projects of all kinds remain eligible 12 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 9 because if in the federal legislation projects are eligible then they should remain eligible even in the state of California. In response to Commissioner Spiegel’s inquiry if that would also be for the grants, would that be the criteria from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), or would it be only League of California, who do the grants go to, Anne Mayer replied it would depend on the guideline and how the guidelines are set up. She stated generally federal grants that allow local agencies to apply then they would just be complying with federal requirements. She explained a different example is there are some federal governments that require the applications to be submitted through the state and she used the recent application submittal made by RCTC for the Coachella Valley-San Gorgonio Pass Rail as an example that was submitted to the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program. Anne Mayer explained since RCTC was not an eligible applicant, Caltrans was the lead applicant on that proposal, and they needed to coordinate with the state, and they were grateful Caltrans took the lead on that application. In the development of the guidelines if there is any influence they have in the development of the guidelines it will be that local agencies, cities, the County, and regional agencies like theirs are eligible to be applicants for as many of the grants as possible. In response to Commissioner Spiegel question about transit and noted to Mr. Knudsen he stated intercity and then aid Amtrak, but will that include Metrolink, David Knudsen replied yes it will include that. Commissioner Spiegel clarified because the only one they had was Los Angeles to Coachella, Riverside to Coachella so is it beyond that or just focusing on Coachella. David Knudsen replied for clarification in the State and Federal Legislative Platform discussion if that was the point she was referring to. Commissioner Spiegel replied yes it was. David Knudsen explained they do not have a call out specifically for Coachella Valley Rail in their platform with all the guidelines and support RCTC received both locally, state, and at the federal level. He stated they felt it would be important to include a specific call out for that, but the platform itself already identifies support for intercity, passenger, and commuter rail. Commissioner Spiegel expressed being highly supportive of the Coachella Valley Rail, but she wanted to make sure if there are other opportunities, they can do different grants. Commissioner Kevin Jeffries stated most of the questions have been asked but he remembers when funding and building transportation projects meant funding and building transportation projects, not so much these days at least in California. He explained the challenge of accessing their fair share they will have to be embedded in Sacramento to prevent the typical diversion of funds away from the Inland Empire to the Coast. Commissioner Jeffries expressed if they rely solely on lobbyists who are hired by coastal communities, counties, and cities they will have their own built-in conflict of interest in who they will try to get funds for. He stated a staff member is going to have to engage, some of the Commissioners are going to have to engage with elected leaders up there and doing everything they can to prevent the 100-year tradition of sending 13 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 10 everything to coastal counties and avoiding the Inland Empire. Commissioner Jefferies asked if there is a spend deadline, assuming it takes 15 years to get a project through Caltrans and if the federal government says they have four years or six years to spend it California is dead in the water. David Knudsen replied that information has not yet been determined through these programs, the criteria both in the eligibility and the allocation have yet to be determined. He stated on the reauthorization element of the IIJA it is a five-year allocation and a five- year authorization so those funds will be distributed across five years. Mr. Knudsen explained how the span to actually spend locally he will need follow up and determine if those have been set yet. Commissioner Jeffries expressed to Mr. Knudsen there is a lot of work that needs to be done assuming they are still here when the money actually can be spent 15 or 20 years from now. Commissioner Chuck Conder expressed appreciation for David Knudsen presentation and stated it is an initial 1,000 foot look down also how they will pay for this, but he thinks all the projects really need to get done. He stated Mr. Knudsen mentioned the Ports that obviously Long Beach and Los Angeles have a lot of work to do to get the hyper ships in there but when that occurs Riverside continues to be the most impacted city in the nation on grade separations. He will be hopefully working with everyone and relying on them to get some of this money to continue their grade separations, which they have been doing for over a decade and they cannot catch up with all the traffic that comes through. Commissioner Conder expressed they estimate by 2025 the rail gates will be down in Riverside for five hours a day with 200 plus trains coming through. He reiterated working hopefully with everyone to get the money to help with these grade separations for the city and the surrounding communities. Chair Harnik referred to the platform under the Alignment of Responsibilities, the bullet point that states, oppose efforts by state and federal governments to negate their obligation to maintain the highway system and she stated as they have heard they need to work hard on that. She explained at a time they recognize and even the fact they have chosen to pass this bill with all those funds shows they recognize their obligation to our highway systems. She stated hey have an obligation with their train system throughout the country and hopes they will be able to get them on board to fulfill their obligations and to keep the work going. Anne Mayer expressed appreciation for all their comments and stated going back to rail, intercity rail is generally the Amtrak service that goes city to city, passenger rail and commuter rail is their Metrolink system. She stated on December 9 the House Transportation and Infrastructure one of the subcommittees is holding a hearing called Leveraging an IIJA Plans for Expanding Intercity Passenger Rail. Two of the four people testifying are from California the first being California State Transportation Agency 14 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 11 Secretary David Kim, which has been a terrific partner for RCTC on CV Rail, and Donna DeMartino Managing Director from the Los Angeles–San Diego–San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency. Anne Mayer stated she hopes they will hear a lot of conversation about rail in Southern California at that committee hearing. She explained to the broader issues about how hard it is for the Inland Empire to be heard about the challenges they face related to increased population growth, the need for affordable housing, the need for more housing, and the impact on their transportation community it is very difficult to be heard. They have tried different ways to be heard in trying to see if any of it can resonate so that the Inland Empire and other inland areas of the state are heard with respect to their transportation needs. She expressed appreciation to Mike Beauchamp, Caltrans District 8 Director, who has lived in the Inland Empire for as long as she has, they both came from Michigan and Mr. Beauchamp has been a strong advocate for RCTC in the Inland Empire. Anne Mayer expressed state policies are sending them in a direction where investment in roads, highways, auxiliary lanes, and interchanges is going to be the last thing on the table instead of the first. She understands Commissioner Jeffries comment that there is a lot of work to do, and this will be a year where staff and the Commissioners will have to be very actively engaged and especially with the Inland Empire Delegation. They are working closely with their colleagues at San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to make sure they have some sort of uniformity in messaging in the Inland Empire trying to resonate. She stated over the weekend Governor Newsom announced a rapid response project on southbound Interstate 15 near the Nevada state line, a five-mile temporary lane extending into California to alleviate traffic congestion for those returning to California from activities in Las Vegas. She expressed her initial comment was us too, as RCTC could give example after example where that is important, and the governor found money to build that project and to start the project later this spring. She echoed they agree with the governor on his point that expanding the state highway system is an appropriate method to reduce choke points and congestion. From a staff perspective what the governor announced on I-15 up to the north is a great example of how things can get done in Riverside County too. She suggested part of their conversation needs to be about the people in Riverside County who cannot take it anymore the Riverside County residents and businesses who are absolutely in need of projects that relieve their daily commute and the impact on them. Staff has been working with Chair Harnik on a letter to the governor and her phone number will be included since the governor stated pick up the phone and call him and tell him what the problem is. Anne Mayer recommended that RCTC and the Commissioners take up on that offer and work in partnership with the state to advocate for projects here just like those being done on I-15 to the north to help travelers come back on the weekend from Nevada. Anne Mayer expressed being excited for the upcoming year and that the legislative team is ready to go, David Knudsen and Tyler Madary, Senior Management Analyst, are ready and they are working closely with their colleagues, and she expressed appreciation for their direction and input and is looking look forward to an active 2022. Chair Harnik suggested if they have a few moments to watch the press conference with the two governors as they talked about this new project because they made some 15 Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes December 8, 2021 Page 12 important points. The governors discussed how they did not have any plans and there was no strategy. She expressed the good point was they were able to pull it together at a moment’s notice in very short order and they now have plans, and they have a strategy for the I-15. She expressed the Commission has plans and has strategies for a longtime and they would like to implement theirs too. M/S/C (Gregory/Spiegel) to: 1) Adopt the Commission’s 2022 State and Federal Legislative Platform; and 2) Receive and file the state and federal update. 9.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business for consideration by the Riverside County Transportation Commission, Chair Harnik adjourned the meeting at 11:30 a.m. The next Commission meeting is scheduled to be held at 9:30 a.m., Wednesday, January 12, 2022. Respectfully submitted, Lisa Mobley Administrative Services Manager/ Clerk of the Board 19 AGENDA ITEM 6C Agenda Item 6C RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 12, 2022 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to receive and file the Quarterly Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2021. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the first three months of the fiscal year, staff monitored the revenues and expenditures of the Commission. The first quarter of the fiscal year is primarily directed toward completing fiscal year-end activities for the prior year. Staff expects most of the categories to present a more realistic outlook beginning in the second quarter. The operating statement shows the Measure A and Local Transportation Fund (LTF) sales tax revenues for the first quarter at nine percent of the budget. This is a result of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for nonexchange Transactions. GASB Statement No. 33 requires sales tax revenues to be accrued for the period in which they are collected at the point of destination or sale, as applicable. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration collects the sales tax funds and remits these funds to the Commission after the reporting period for the businesses. This creates a two-month lag in the receipt of revenues by the Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements reflect the revenues related to collections for July 2021. On a cash basis, the Measure A and LTF sales tax receipts are 29.03 and 28.34 percent higher, respectively, than the same period last fiscal year. State Transit Assistance revenues, including State of Good Repair for the first quarter of 2022, are expected to be received in the second quarter of 2022. Staff will continue to monitor the trends in the sales taxes and report to the Commission any necessary adjustments in revenue projections. Federal, state, and local reimbursements are generally on a reimbursement basis. The Commission will receive these revenues as eligible project costs are incurred and invoiced to the respective agencies. The negative revenue amounts for federal, state, and local reimbursements reflect the reversal of FY 2020/21 accrued revenues at the beginning of FY 2021/22 in excess of 20 Agenda Item 6C amounts billed during the first quarter. Reimbursement invoices for expenditures for the first quarter will be prepared and submitted in the second quarter. During the FY 2021/22 budget process, the Commission conservatively estimated Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee revenues of $11 million passed through from Western Riverside Council of Governments. The Commission expects to receive the July 2021 through September 2021 revenues in the second quarter. During the FY 2021/22 budget process, the Commission conservatively budgeted RCTC 91 Express Lanes and 15 Express Lanes toll revenues and toll violations and fee revenues at $40.5 million and $23.6 million, respectively. The operating statement shows toll revenues at 35 percent of the budget and toll violations and fee revenues at 78 percent of the budget. Staff will continue to monitor the toll transactions and/or trips and non-toll revenues. The operating statement shows other revenues at 36 percent of the $657,300 budget and reflects property management lease revenues. During the FY 2021/22 budget process, the Commission conservatively estimated investment income at $910,100 due to decreasing interest rates. The operating statement shows investment income, which includes unrealized investment gains (losses), at 41 percent of the $910,100 budget. The expenditures/expenses and other financing sources/uses categories are in line overall with the expectations of the budget with the following exceptions: • Salaries and benefits are under budget primarily due to unfilled budget positions; • Professional services are under budget primarily due to unused budget authority for rail operations and development activities, highway general legal and professional services, toll operations general legal and professional services, administrative professional services, and finance auditing and professional services; • Support costs are under budget due to unused budget authority for administrative activities, rail operations and development activities, highway operations, and toll operations; • Program operations are under budget due to unused budget authority for the toll operations, motorist and commuter assistance program operations, highway and rail program management, and station security; • The status of significant Commission capital projects (engineering, construction, design-build, and right of way/land) with budget amounts exceeding $5 million is discussed in the attachment. The negative expenditure amount reflects the reversal of FY 2020/21 accrued expenditures at the beginning of FY 2021/22 in excess of the amounts invoiced to the Commission during the first quarter; • Operating and capital disbursements are made as claims are submitted to the Commission by transit operators; 21 Agenda Item 6C • Special studies unused budget authority is related to feasibilities studies; • Local streets and roads expenditures are related to Measure A sales tax revenues. These financial statements reflect the turnback payments through July 2021; • Regional arterial expenditures primarily represent expenditures for highways and regional arterial program administered by Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). CVAG requests reimbursements from the Commission based on available funds and sufficient budget authority. The negative expenditure amount reflects the reversal of FY 2020/21 accrued expenditures at the beginning of FY 2021/22 in excess of the amounts invoiced to the Commission during the first quarter; • Debt service principal payments are made annually on June 1, while debt service interest payments are made semiannually on December 1 and June 1. On a quarterly basis in the RCTC 91 Express Lanes and 15 Express Lanes Enterprise Funds accounting records, the Commission records accrued interest including compounded interest on the 91 Project and 15 Express Lanes Project Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan and accreted interest on the 2013 Toll Revenue Bonds, Series B (capital appreciation bonds or CABs) for the 91 Project. However, $3.2 million of the $7.6 million interest cost for the first quarter will not be paid in the current year for the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Enterprise Fund and $1 million for the 15 Express Lanes Enterprise Fund and therefore is not included in the FY 2021/22 budget; • Capital outlay expenditures are under budget due to unused budget authority for office and property improvements for station rehabilitation, toll operations transponders, and Commission office, network, hardware, and software improvements; • Depreciation is recorded as part of the accrual adjustments in the RCTC 91 Express Lanes and 15 Express Lanes Enterprise Funds accounting records; however, such depreciation is not paid and therefore is not included in the FY 2021/22 budget; • The Commission entered into a loan agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation for a $152.5 million TIFIA loan to pay eligible I-15 Express Lanes project costs. Proceeds of the TIFIA loan may be drawn upon after certain conditions have been met. Through the first quarter, the Commission drew down $0 in TIFIA loan proceeds, for a cumulative inception to date total in TIFIA loan proceeds of $147.9 million. The final draw on the TIFIA loan is anticipated in the second quarter. During construction of the I- 15 Express Lanes project and for a period of up to five years following substantial completion, interest is compounded and added to the TIFIA loan. TIFIA debt service payments are expected to commence in December 2025, which is approximately five years after substantial completion of the I-15 Express Lanes project, through 2055; and • In October 2021, the Commission will issue toll revenue refunding bonds (2021 Toll Refunding Bonds) consisting of $88,735,000 senior lien federally taxable bonds, $450,629,000 senior lien tax-exempt bonds, and $75,695,000 second lien tax-exempt bonds. The proceeds of the 2021 Toll Refunding Bonds will be used to refund a portion of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes 2013 Toll Revenue Current Interest Bonds (CIBs), pay the purchase price of the 2013 Toll Revenue CIBs accepted for tender for cash, refund and prepay the TIFIA loan, fund capitalized interest, make deposits to required reserves, and pay costs of issuance. Certain senior lien tax-exempt bonds will be issued in exchange for 22 Agenda Item 6C certain 2013 Toll Revenue CIBs accepted for exchange. Additionally, the Commission will deposit available funds with an escrow agent to defease approximately $28,919,000 in accreted value of the 2013 Toll Revenue CABs maturing in the years 2022 through 2025 and 2027 through 2029.

The project involves widening pavement on the outside of the existing highway to reposition general purpose lanes and repurposing the existing high occupancy vehicle lanes to accommodate two-tolled express lanes in the median in each direction. The 91 Project also involves constructing one new general-purpose lane in each direction from SR-71 to I-15, ultimately providing two-tolled express lanes and five general purpose lanes in each direction. 91 Project development activities began in September 2007, construction work related to roadway and structures began in July 2014, and the toll lanes opened in March 2017. The total cost of the 91 Project is estimated at $1.4 billion, including capitalized interest, debt service reserves, contingency, and cost of issuance. The FY 2021/22 budget amount is $16,247,300. $290,325 ($1,827,663) The under run of the FY 2021/22 budget at the first quarter is due to an accrual reversal for the Army Corps of Engineers Reach 9 project ($1.7 million) and an accrual reversal for plant establishment costs from the design builder not yet offset by actual invoices ($0.3 million). 91 Express Lanes (P009103 & P009104) These projects provide repair and rehabilitation of SR-91 general purpose and express lanes, as well as the implementation of a new back-office system.

The total project cost is estimated at $472 million, which includes $42 million of contingency. The FY 2021/22 budget amount is $17,429,900. 1,986,086 2,634,637 The over run of the FY 2021/22 budget at the first quarter is due to COZEEP invoices expensed but not yet back charged to the design builder ($0.6 million), higher than planned project construction manager charges ($0.5 million), partially offset by an under run in the toll services provider ($0.4 million). 15/91 Express Lanes Connector (P003039) The 15/91 Express Lane Connector (ELC) project constructs an express lanes median direct connector from southbound I-15 to westbound SR-91 and from eastbound SR-91 to northbound I-15 in the city of Corona. The project also adds tolled express lanes in each direction of I-15 from the 15/91 ELC to Hidden Valley Parkway; adds a tolled express lane in each direction of SR-91 from east of Lincoln Avenue to the 15/91 ELC; extends the tolled express lane along eastbound SR-91 from I-15 to west of Promenade Avenue; and extends an eastbound auxiliary lane along SR-91 from west of I-15 to west of Promenade Avenue. The project also includes the addition of a toll collection system infrastructure along I-15 and SR-91. The estimated project cost is $270 million and the project is partially funded by state funds allocated under Senate Bill (SB) 132 legislation. The connector is expected to open to traffic in 2023.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) is a federally required document that lists transportation projects funded with federal, state, and local funds for the next six-year period. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is responsible for preparing the FTIP every two years for the six counties within the SCAG region and for performing the following five conformity tests: • Consistency with SCAG’s Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS); • Regional Emission Analysis; • Timely Implementation of Transportation Control Measures (TCM); • Financial Constraint; and • Interagency Consultation and Public Involvement. The 2023 FTIP update covers Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2022/23 through 2027/28 and reflects projects listed in the 2020 RTP/SCS. All federal- and state-funded projects must be included in the FTIP prior to spending funds. Overall, Riverside County is submitting 310 projects totaling approximately $10 billion in funds. The attached resolution must be included in the 2023 FTIP to certify the Riverside County portion of the FTIP is financially constrained and to affirm the commitment to implement the projects. Financial constraint and project commitment is defined as follows: 31 Agenda Item 6D 1. Financial Constraint: The Commission must certify the Riverside County Transportation Improvement Program is financially constrained (projects are not programmed in excess of fund levels) and the funding may be reasonably expected to carry out the program. 2. Project Commitment: The Commission must affirm its highest priorities for funding are the projects in the 2023 FTIP. The affirmation is specifically targeted to enforceable TCMs, which are critical to meeting air quality and transportation conformity, as required by federal and state law. Over the past three months, staff reviewed projects submitted by Caltrans, local agencies, and transit operators in Riverside County. This review included projects on freeways, state highways, arterials, routes that provide access to major activity centers, goods movement routes, intermodal facilities, and fixed transit routes. Projects that have completed construction were identified and removed from the 2023 FTIP, while other projects were added, deleted, or modified at the request of project sponsors. All project programming was reviewed with project sponsors to ensure each project clearly identifies funding sources and schedules. There are 20 TCM projects in the 2023 FTIP with completion dates ranging from 2022 to 2030, at an estimated cost of $916 million. TCMs are specific transportation projects and programs committed to help improve air quality, regardless of the source of funding. Project sponsors have been notified that TCMs must be operational or implemented by the completion date committed to in the FTIP. If not, these projects must be substituted by another TCM-eligible project. The SCAG Regional Council is scheduled to approve the 2023 FTIP by September 2022. SCAG subsequently will pursue the necessary state and federal approvals for the 2023 FTIP. These approvals are anticipated to occur by early December 2022, at which point the 2023 FTIP takes effect. SCAG allows submittal of minor changes to projects through amendments that occur throughout the two-year cycle; staff coordinates amendments with the appropriate local agencies. This item does not have a financial impact; separate actions have been or will be taken to fund specific projects as necessary.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In July 2021 the Commission approved a set of Commuter Assistance Program recommendations to help jump start rideshare (bus transit, carpool, rail, vanpool) activity amongst commuters and employer partner worksites throughout the region in anticipation of waning coronavirus activity and increased vaccinations. Commission actions included adoption of Resolution No. 21-013, which enhanced and expanded eligibility for rideshare incentives. However, due to the rise in coronavirus cases per capita related to the Delta variant lasting through the fall, implementation of Resolution No. 21-013 was postponed. Additionally, indoor mask mandates have been re- imposed and are in effect through January 15, 2022, in response to rising case rates in December. The dynamic and unpredictable nature of the pandemic continues to pose challenges with respect to timing the launch of new rideshare incentives. As such, staff is proposing Resolution No. 22-002, which amends and restates Resolution No. 21-013, making certain recommended changes as described herein (“Amended and Restated Resolution”). The Amended and Restated Resolution provides the Executive Director with authority to delay implementation of all or any part of the new guidelines in response to the pandemic, when such delay is in the best interest of the Commission. This update allows for flexibility with respect to timing of the new incentives that is independent of the resolution’s adoption date. The Amended and Restated Resolution also includes some additional changes to clarify program requirements that were inadvertently not included in Resolution No. 21-013. Finally, the Amended and Restated Resolution provides for ratification of: the decision to postpone implementation of the new program guidelines; and any implementation of the program changes made in the Amended and Restated Resolution prior to the effective date thereof. Staff continues to monitor COVID and employer trends and, 38 Agenda Item 6E barring any significant disruptions, anticipates launching the new incentives and related outreach before Spring 2022. Staff recommends that the Commission adopt the Amended and Restated Commuter Assistance Program Resolution, Resolution No. 22-002. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to the adoption of the resolution. Attachment: Resolution No. 22-002 39 RESOLUTION NO. 22-002 AMENDED AND RESTATED RESOLUTION OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION ADOPTING AMENDED GUIDELINES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE MEASURE A FUNDED COMMUTER INCENTIVE PROJECTS AS PART OF ITS COMMUTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHEREAS, in 1988 Riverside County residents approved the original Measure A imposing a 1/2 cent sales tax for transportation purposes within the County of Riverside; and WHEREAS, on November 5, 2002 the voters of Riverside County approved the extension of Measure A, authorizing the collection of a one-half percent (1/2%) retail transactions and use tax to fund transportation programs and improvements within the County of Riverside, and adopting the Riverside County Transportation Improvement Plan (the “Plan”); and WHEREAS, the Plan provides that a minimum of $50 million in revenues generated under Measure A are designated for Western Riverside County commuter assistance efforts designed to encourage single occupant vehicle drivers to carpool, vanpool, buspool, walk, bicycle, telework or use public transit (bus/train) to and from work to reduce congestion during peak rush hour periods; and WHEREAS, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (“Commission”) has established a Commuter Assistance Program which includes the following commuter incentive subsidies: the $2/Day Incentive (to be changed to $5/Day Incentive) and the VanClub Program; and WHEREAS, the Commission also implements drawings, sweepstakes and similar incentives under the Commuter Assistance Program; and WHEREAS, the Commission desired to revise the guidelines established under the original Measure A, adopted pursuant to Resolution 03-025; and WHEREAS, the Commission adopted Resolution No. 21-013, on July 14, 2021, in order to establish current guidelines for the Commuter Incentive Program to help induce ridesharing in the County and to provide a means for fairly allocating limited Measure A revenues to all eligible participants, and to supersede Resolution No. 03-025; and WHEREAS, following such adoption, the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant made implementation of the new guidelines impractical and unadvisable, and the Commission delayed implementation of the new guidelines and continued to operate the Commuter Assistance Program under the guidelines set forth in Resolution No. 03-025; and WHEREAS, the Commission now desires to amend and restate, in its entirety, Resolution No. 21- 31-013 by adopting this Amended and Restated Commuter Assistance Program Resolution, 40 Resolution No. 2022-002 (“Resolution”) in order to make certain changes to the program that were inadvertently not included under Resolution No. 21-31-013, and to provide the Executive Director with the authority to continue implementing the guidelines set forth under Resolution No. 03-025 until conditions warrant implementation of some or all of the changes to the Commuter Assistance Program. NOW, THEREFORE, the Riverside County Transportation Commission hereby resolves as follows: Section 1: Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Resolution shall have the meanings as set forth in the Definitions section below. Section 2: $5/Day Incentive. The following guidelines are hereby established for the $5/Day Incentive: A. A Participating Commuter must be engaged in a Rideshare Arrangement for the purpose of commuting to a place of employment or a teleworking work center. A Rideshare Arrangement specifically excludes taking children to school and/or day care situations. B. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Resolution, the $5/Day Incentive, which shall be capped at $125/month per Participating Commuter, shall be provided as follows: (1) $5.00 for each day a Participating Commuter carpools in a carpool. (2) $5.00 for each day a Participating Commuter rides in a vanpool. (3) $5.00 for each day a Participating Commuter rides a public bus. (4) $5.00 for each day a Participating Commuter walks or bicycles. (5) $5.00 for each day a Participating Commuter in a hybrid telework arrangement teleworks, subject to paragraph C below. (6) $5.00 for each day a Participating Commuter rides commuter rail. C. A hybrid telework arrangement means that the Participating Commuter works both remotely from home and on-premises at the Participating Employer’s work site. If the Participating Commuter meets the minimum requirement set forth in (I) below, then the Participating Commuter’s telework days are eligible for the $5/Day Incentive. D. All Participating Commuters must live in Western Riverside County for incentives provided under Measure A. If other funding sources are available, the Executive Director may authorize expansion of the $5/Day Incentive to Participating Commuters in Eastern Riverside County for such time as funding remains available. E. All Participating Commuters must be employed by a Participating Employer during participation in the $5/Day Incentive. F. A Participating Commuter may not have received, within the six months prior to enrollment in $5/Day Incentive, any Incentive from $5/Day Incentive or from any Sister Agency 41 Program. If an applicant received an Incentive from $5/Day Incentive or from any Sister Agency Program more than six months before submitting an application, the applicant may receive an Incentive under $5/Day Incentive only if he or she requests an Incentive for a different commute mode from that for which he or she has already received an Incentive. The limitations in this section shall not apply or take effect until six (6) months following the Effective Date of this Resolution, or (ii) implementation of the $5/Day Incentive, whichever occurs later. G. The Participating Commuter may not have been in a Rideshare Arrangement during the 90 days prior to enrollment in the $5/Day Incentive. H. A Participating Commuter must commute to work on one or more weekdays (i.e.: Monday through Friday) to qualify. An Incentive will also be paid for qualifying weekend work trips as long as the commuter works on weekend days as part of a regular shift that includes at least one weekday. I. A Participating Commuter must carpool, vanpool, use public bus or commuter rail, walk, or bicycle to a Participating Employer’s work site a minimum of five workdays a month to qualify. J. Participating Commuters may receive an Incentive under the $5/Day Incentive for no more than three (3) consecutive months. Any calendar month during which a Participating Commuter is enrolled in the $5/Day Incentive shall be considered a full month of participation in the $5/Day Incentive. For example, if a Participating Commuter enrolls in the $5/Day Incentive on the 15th of a month and carpools for five days in that month, that month will be considered a full month for purpose of determining the Participating Commuter's participation in the $5/Day Incentive. Section 3: VanClub Program. An ongoing subsidy of up to $400 monthly, not to exceed 50 percent of the lease cost, shall be paid directly to a Commission authorized leasing company for Vanpools. A. To qualify the Vanpool must (i) commute more than 30 miles roundtrip each day, (iii) commute 12 or more days each month, and (iv) travel to a workplace in western Riverside County. B. Eligible Vanpools using electric powered vehicles (EV) may receive an additional subsidy of $100 monthly. Section 4: Other Incentives. Any western Riverside County resident participating in a Rideshare Arrangement may participate in any Commuter Assistance Program drawings, sweepstakes or other incentives, provided that the resident meets all qualifications and requirements of the incentive, as approved by the Executive Director and published on the Commission’s website. Such incentives may be made available to Eastern Riverside County residents based on the availability of non-Measure A funding sources. 42 Section 5: Incentives. Incentives shall be paid in the various forms as detailed below. In no event shall cash be provided directly to a Participating Commuter. A The Incentive for a Vanpool shall be paid, as a subsidy, directly to a Commission authorized Vanpool leasing company. B. All other Incentives shall be paid in the form of gift certificates, purchased from private businesses by the Commission, or as discounts or special offers. Section 6: Definitions. As used in this resolution, the following phrases shall have the following meanings: A. "Carpool" shall mean two or more persons commuting on a regular basis to and from work by means of a vehicle with a seating arrangement designed to seat less than seven adults, including the driver. B. "Commuter Incentive Program" refers collectively to Rideshare Incentive, including $5/Day incentive and VanClub. C. "Incentive" means gift certificates or a cash payment to a Participating Employer or a Vanpool leasing company provided under this Resolution for the purpose of inducing eligible commuters to join Rideshare Arrangements or otherwise participate in the Commuter Incentive Program or other comparable project. D. "Participating Commuter" means a commuter currently participating in the Commuter Incentive Program. E. "Participating Employer" shall mean any employer, which has executed an acknowledgement with the Commission for participation in the Commuter Incentive Program. F. "Rideshare Arrangement" shall mean the transportation of two or more working adults in a motor vehicle or by rail where that transportation is incidental to another purpose of the driver. The term includes ridesharing arrangements known as carpools, vanpools and buspools as well as utilizing public bus and commuter rail services. In addition, persons walking or bicycling or shall also be deemed to be participants in a Rideshare Arrangement. "Buspool" means sixteen or more persons commuting on a regular basis to and from work by means of a vehicle with a seating arrangement designed to carry more than fifteen adult passengers. H. “Sister “Agency” shall mean another public transportation agency within Southern California. I. “Vanpool” is defined as five or more persons commuting on a regular basis to and from work by means of a vehicle with seating arrangements designed to carry seven to fifteen adults, including the driver. 43 J. "Western Riverside County" shall have the same meaning as in the Measure A Expenditure Plan approved by the voters in November 2002. Section 7: Executive Director Authority. The Executive Director of the Commission is hereby authorized: A. To take those steps necessary and proper to implement the Commuter Incentive Program including, but not limited to, providing promotional materials to Commuter Assistance Program participants. B. To establish, in her discretion, additional rules and regulations for the Commuter Incentive Program. C. To prescribe in writing qualification requirements and incentives for the Commuter Incentive Program which differ from those established in this Resolution, and to amend or suspend implementation of the requirements set forth in this Resolution for VanClub, as reasonably necessary to successfully implement the VanClub program. D. To delay implementation of all or any part of this Resolution in response to the COVID-19 pandemic where such action is in the best interest of the Commission. In such case, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the Commuter Assistance Program guidelines set forth in Resolution No. 03-025 shall continue to apply prior to implementation of the guidelines set forth under this Resolution. Section 8: Resolution No. 03-025. Except as expressly set forth herein, Resolution No. 03-025 is hereby superseded and repealed. Section 9. Effect of Resolution. This Resolution shall amend, restate and supersede, in its entirety, Resolution No. 21-013, adopted July 14, 2021. In adopting this Resolution, the Commission ratifies the prior delay in implementation of the new Commuter Assistance Program guidelines set forth under Resolution No. 21-013, and ratifies any implementation of the changes to Resolution No. 21-013 made by this Resolution prior to the effective date hereof. Section 10: Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Section 11: Effective Date. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon adoption. APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of January, 2022. 44 SIGNATURE PAGE TO AMENDED AND RESTATED RESOLUTION NO. 2022-002 _____________________________________ V. Manuel Perez, Chair Riverside County Transportation Commission ATTEST: _________________________________ Lisa Mobley Clerk of the Board 45 AGENDA ITEM 7 Agenda Item 7 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 12, 2022 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2021/22 Mid-Year Revised Revenue Projections STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve the mid-year Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 revenue projections of $250 million for Measure A revenues, $127 million for Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenues, and $30 million for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues; 2) Approve the budget increase adjustments to Measure A revenues of $40 million and expenditures of $16,479,000 to reflect the revised Measure A projection; 3) Approve the budget increase adjustments to LTF revenues of $22 million, transfers in of $1,543,000, and expenditures and transfers out of $1,928,000 to reflect the revised LTF projection; and 4) Approve the budget increase adjustment to TUMF revenues of $19 million to reflect the revised TUMF projection. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its January 2021 meeting, the Commission approved the original FY 2021/22 revenue projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues. These revenue projections were the same as the FY 2020/21 revenue projections. Considering the continued uncertainty regarding the impacts of COVID-19, the increase was conservative and represented caution based on then- current economic forecast information. Subsequently in June 2021 in connection with the approval of the FY 2021/22 budget, the FY 2021/22 revenue projections for Measure A and LTF were revised based on actual revenues exceeding expectations; however, they continued to reflect conservative estimates. Similar to past years, staff reviewed Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues received through December 2021 to determine if any mid-year adjustments are necessary. Staff considered historical and current trends of receipts and economic data collected from various sources. 46 Agenda Item 7 Measure A Sales Tax Revenues Measure A is the local half-cent transactions and use tax approved by Riverside County voters in November 2002. Measure A funds fund highway, regional arterial, local streets and roads, new corridors, economic development, bond financing, bus transit, commuter rail, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation projects in the three geographic areas of Riverside County, as defined in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. The audited FY 2020/21 revenues were $243 million — 25 percent above the June 2021 mid-year revised projection of $195 million, and FY 2021/22 revenues through September are 32 percent of the June 2021 revised projection of $210 million. The implementation of internet sales taxes in 2019 due to Wayfair is a significant factor in the positive results. Staff continues to review quarterly Measure A economic data available on the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration’s website as well as data prepared by the Commission’s sales tax consultant. Since actual results have exceeded June 2021 expectations, staff recommends a mid-year revision to the FY 2021/22 Measure A projection of $250 million that is slightly above the most recent fiscal year actual revenues. This is a $40 million, or 19 percent, increase from the June 2021 projection of $210 million. The revision reflects continued conservatism and lack of clarity in the magnitude, if any, and duration of COVID-19 economic impacts. LTF Sales Tax Revenues LTF sales tax revenues represent a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax and primarily fund transit requirements within the county in addition to planning and administration activities and bicycle and pedestrian projects. These revenues approximate 51 percent of Measure A sales tax revenues. LTF actual revenues have also exceeded expectations. The audited FY 2020/21 revenues were $123 million — 23 percent above the June 2021 revised mid-year projection of $100 million, and FY 2021/22 revenues through September are 33 percent of the June 2021 revised projection of $105 million. Similar to Measure A, staff recommends a mid-year revision to the FY 2021/22 LTF projection of $127 million to reflect an amount slightly above the most recent fiscal year actual revenues. This is a $22 million, or 21 percent, increase from the June 2021 projection of $105 million. TUMF Revenues TUMF revenues represent the Commission’s share of revenues generated from a development fee program administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG). Local Western County jurisdictions collect fees charged to ensure new development pays for the new transportation facilities needed to accommodate growth. 47 Agenda Item 7 TUMF revenues for the three months ended September 2021 are approximately $7.8 million, and TUMF actual revenues for FY 2020/21 were approximately $27.8 million. Since monthly TUMF receipts tend to fluctuate significantly – making it difficult to identify and project any trend, staff recommends a FY 2021/22 projection of $30 million, which is slightly above the FY 2020/21 actual revenues. Mid-Year Revised Revenue Projections Summary The mid-year revised revenue projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF are summarized as follows: Revenue Source FY 2020/21 Actuals FY 2021/22 Budget FY 2021/22 Mid-Year Budget Revision Increase from Original Budget (Adjustment) Measure A $ 242,943,840 $ 210,000,000 $ 250,000,000 $ 40,000,000 LTF 123,038,694 105,000,000 127,000,000 22,000,000 TUMF 27,830,144 11,000,000 30,000,000 19,000,000 Any change in Measure A revenue projections has a direct effect on the distributions to the geographic areas and related local streets and roads (LSR) programs. Since there is a $40 million increase in the Measure A revenue projections, staff also recommends budget adjustments for LSR expenditures of $12,195,000 and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterials expenditures of $4,284,000—an aggregate total of $16,479,000. In addition to the $22 million increase in projected LTF revenues, staff recommends budgets adjustments for the following expenditures and transfers in/out: • A $385,000 increase in the allocation to the Southern California Association of Governments for planning; and • A $1,543,000 increase in transfers out to the General fund and corresponding transfers in from the LTF fund to the General fund for Commission planning allocations. The increase for SB 821 bicycle and pedestrian projects of approximately $990,000 does not require a budget adjustment, as this amount will be included in the amount available for the next call for projects. The revised LTF projections include the audited FY 2020/21 carryover available to local governments and transit agencies of $29.4 million; the carryover represents the difference in the prior fiscal year’s projected and actual revenues and does not require a budget adjustment. The increase in the LTF balance available for apportionments for transit operators of approximately $43,651,000 also does not require a budget adjustment, as this amount will be available for any 48 Agenda Item 7 transit allocation adjustments based on amendments to transit operator Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) and for transit operators in the preparation of the FY 2022/23 SRTPs. Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this updated information to the necessary local governments and transit operators for planning purposes. Additionally, staff will continue to monitor FY 2021/22 revenues to determine if any other adjustments to the revenue projections or Measure A and LTF administration are necessary.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Prior to commencement of the annual budget process, the Chief Financial Officer presents to the Commission the projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues related to the next fiscal year. These revenue projections include consideration of historical and current trends of receipts and economic data collected from various sources, including the quarterly sales tax forecast of Measure A revenues prepared by its sales tax consultant, MuniServices, LLC, an Avenu Company. Measure A The Measure A projection consists of revenues generated from the local half-cent transactions and use tax approved by voters in November 2002. The Measure A funds are principally used to fund highway, regional arterial, local streets and roads, new corridors, economic development, bond financing, bus transit, commuter rail, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation projects in the three geographic areas of Riverside County, as defined in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. The percentage of Measure A revenues allocated to each of these geographic areas is based on return to source of the sales tax revenues generated. FY 2022/23 represents the 14th year of the 30-year term of the 2009 Measure A. The Measure A projection for FY 2022/23 is $255 million. The estimate is slightly higher than the FY 2021/22 mid-year projection of $250 million. Considering the continued uncertainty regarding the impacts of COVID-19, the increase is conservative and represents caution based on current 53 Agenda Item 8 economic forecast information. This projection will become the basis for the preparation for the FY 2022/23 budget. The budget process typically commences in January of each year following the development of the Measure A revenue projections. Additionally, the amounts for the local streets and roads programs are usually provided to the local jurisdictions for planning purposes. The projected amount of Measure A available for distribution to the three geographic areas is $255 million prior to an administrative cost allocation, as summarized below and presented in further detail by program on the attachment: Geographic Area Amount Western Riverside County $ 204,086,000 Coachella Valley 49,694,000 Palo Verde Valley 1,220,000 Total $ 255,000,000 Administrative costs are allocated in accordance with a cost allocation plan on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, the Measure A allocations to each geographic area by program will be reduced for such quarterly cost allocations. Local Transportation Fund The LTF projection consists of revenues generated from a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax. These LTF funds are principally used to fund transit requirements within the county of Riverside (County). The Transportation Development Act (TDA) legislation that created LTF requires the County Auditor Controller to annually estimate the amount of revenues expected to be generated from the sales tax. The estimate then becomes the basis for geographic apportionment and for claimant allocation through the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process, which commences in February 2022 for the next fiscal year. While the County is the taxing authority and maintains the custodial responsibility over the LTF revenues, the Commission by statute is charged with administration of the LTF funding process. Therefore, the practice has been for staff to develop the revenue estimate and then submit it to the County Auditor Controller for concurrence. Once the Commission and the County agree on a revenue amount, staff prepares the statutorily required apportionment. Apportionment is the process that assigns revenues to the three major geographic areas as defined by TDA law within the County: Western Riverside County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley. The revenues are divided based on the respective populations for each area. The apportionment occurs after off-the-top allocations for administration to the County and Commission and set asides for Southern California Association of Governments planning (3/4 of 1 percent), local planning activities (3 percent), and bicycle and pedestrian projects (2 percent). The Commission’s administration allocation is an estimate; the actual amount is subject to quarterly amounts determined per the administrative cost allocation plan. Any difference in allocated Commission administration costs will be reflected in next year’s estimated carryover. 54 Agenda Item 8 Attached is the FY 2022/23 LTF apportionment based on a revenue estimate of $130 million. The estimate will be submitted to the County for its concurrence. The estimate is slightly higher than the FY 2021/22 mid-year projection of $127 million. Similar to the Measure A projection, the increase is conservative and represents caution based on unknown COVID-19 impacts and current economic forecast information. After the deductions for administration of approximately $1,262,000 and set-asides of approximately $7,352,000, the amount available for apportionment before reserves to transit operators is approximately $121,386,000. The balance available for apportionment before reserves is as follows: Geographic Area Amount Western Riverside County $ 96,747,000 Coachella Valley 23,443,000 Palo Verde Valley 1,196,000 Total $121,386,000 In accordance with the Reserve Policy adopted by the Commission at its January 12, 2005 meeting, a reserve of 10 percent for each apportionment area will be established and set aside for FY 2022/23, for unforeseen cost increases or other emergency. For the Western Riverside County apportionment area, a portion of the reserve will be allocated to each of the transit operators. For Western County public bus transit operators, the allocation of the reserve is based on each operator’s proportionate share of the FY 2021/22 LTF operating and federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act; Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (CRRSAA); and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) allocations. The CARES Act, CRRSAA, and ARPA funds provided federal support to transit operators due to anticipated COVID-19 impacts on public transit and thereby reduced the LTF operating allocations. Operators may access reserve funds by amending their SRTPs through the established amendment and Commission approval process. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee The TUMF projection consists of revenues generated from fees charged to new development to ensure it pays for the new transportation facilities needed to accommodate growth. As a result of a memorandum of understanding executed in 2008 between the Commission and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the administrator of the TUMF program, the Commission receives a significant share of TUMF revenues, after a WRCOG administrative allocation, for the Commission’s regional arterial and Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process programs that is equal to the WRCOG share for the TUMF zone program. The revenue estimate for FY 2022/23 is $30 million, the same as the FY 2021/22 mid-year projection. 55 Agenda Item 8 Next Steps Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this information to the local jurisdictions and transit operators for planning purposes. Staff will continue to monitor FY 2021/22 revenues during the development of the FY 2022/23 budget to determine if any adjustments to the revenue projections are necessary.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update Governor Gavin Newsom held a press conference on December 5, with Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, announcing a rapid-response project that would expand I-15 to tackle congestion at the California-Nevada Border. Governor Newsom identified $12 million to construct a temporary expansion of the highway in a five-mile stretch between the Stateline and Barstow to ease traffic congestion during peak hours. RCTC sent a letter to the Governor on December 9 applauding his efforts to alleviate traffic congestion. The letter further requests the Governor’s partnership to implement meaningful transportation solutions in Riverside County. State Budget Surplus The Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) published its FY 2022-23 Fiscal Outlook in late November. According to the LAO, there is an unprecedented growth in revenues and a $31 billion surplus is predicted for the 2022-23 budget year, which begins July 1. The September 2021 collections from the state's three largest taxes were 40 percent higher than September 2020 and almost 60 percent higher than September 2019. As a result of this surge, collections so far this fiscal year are already over $10 billion ahead of 2021-22 Budget Act assumptions. The LAO expects the rapid growth to slow over the coming months. The new budget surplus will be a leading issue as the Legislature begins the second year of its two-year session. Governor Newsom is required to submit his budget proposal to the Legislature by January 10, 2022. At a press conference in November, the Governor stated that one-time investments in infrastructure would be substantially increased. In anticipation of the budget surplus and as the Governor and Legislature prepare to consider the FY 2022-23 state budget, RCTC and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority are 59 Agenda Item 9 working with the Inland Empire State Legislative Caucus to seek their support on a suite of projects that, if funded, would enhance the region’s transportation network. This suite of projects recognizes the complexity of our regional challenges arising from the nation’s supply chain crisis and the region’s population growth, driven by the state’s housing shortage. The projects under consideration include: Project Funding Requested Project Benefit Coachella Valley-San Gorgonio Rail Corridor Service Project $50 million This project would be transformational for the region, creating economic opportunity in disadvantaged communities, improving access to job centers and attractions, providing alternatives to traveling on I-10, and reducing emissions to improve air quality. Interstate 10 Bypass $95 million The proposed I-10 Bypass would mitigate a nightmare scenario of an I-10 closure with the construction of a new road south of I-10 linking Banning to Cabazon. Third Street Grade Separation Project $30 million Riverside is trisected by two freight rail lines, BNSF and Union Pacific. These two rail lines carry over 75% of the freight handled by the Ports of LA and Long Beach through Riverside. Every day approximately 128 trains pass through the city. At-grade crossings pose safety risks, create traffic delays, increase emissions from idling vehicles, and delay emergency responses. 15 Express Lanes Project Southern Extension $500 million Once built, the I-15 ELSC project would improve traffic operations and travel times, expand travel choice through carpooling and mass transit, increase travel time reliability, and manage long-term traffic congestion spurred by increased goods movement and population growth. Fullerton Junction to Riverside Triple Track Completion $200 million Metrolink's Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) program proposed the triple tracking of the BNSF rail line from Fullerton through Riverside, as a part of a suite of upgrades to Metrolink's system in time for the 2028 Olympics. Not only is this project critical to improved passenger rail service in Riverside County, it will also improve the movement of freight and goods from the Ports of LA and Long Beach, and reduce road congestion and associated emissions. 60 Agenda Item 9 Federal Update Congress averted a government shutdown by passing a Continuing Resolution (CR) and will keep government funded until February 18, 2022, at funding levels set almost a year ago. Congress will return to its work on finalizing the FY 2022 appropriations process as it returns with the New Year. As a result of not yet passing a full FY 2022 appropriations package, significant infrastructure program spending will not be available for expenditure. This means there will be a delay in some program funding increases envisioned in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). California State Transportation Agency Secretary, David Kim, testified before the House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on December 9 to discuss opportunities to expand passenger rail service utilizing funding included in the IIJA. Included in his testimony was support for RCTC’s passenger rail service project between Coachella Valley- and Los Angeles. Caltrans, in partnership with RCTC, submitted an application for Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements discretionary grant funding for this project. This application is now pending before the U.S. Department of Transportation. Congress voted to raise the debt ceiling in mid-December, in order to avoid a default of the nation’s debt. The measure would increase the debt limit by $2.5 trillion, a sum expected to last into 2023 without the need for another vote to raise the borrowing cap. The Build Back Better Act (also known as the reconciliation bill) is still pending in Congress and the timing for final passage is unknown. It is possible that Senate consideration of the measure may not occur until after the New Year. FISCAL IMPACT: This is a policy and information item. There is no fiscal impact. Attachments: 1) Letter to Governor Gavin Newsom – Dated December 9, 2021 2) State and Federal Update Legislative Matrix – December 2021 61 December 9, 2021 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor State of California State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814 RE: Request Your Immediate Attention to Urgent Transportation Needs in Riverside County Dear Governor Newsom: As Chair of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), I was pleasantly surprised by your December 5, 2021, I -15 Expansion Project (Expansion Project) announcement to tackle traffic congestion at the California-Nevada border. My fellow Commissioners and I agree with your assessment that congestion leads to economic burden, with impacts to working families and goods movement vital to the nation. Governor Newsom, we need your help in Riverside County to bring congestion relief to our highway system with the same level of commitment and collaborative spirit you brought to the Expansion Project. Riv erside County, like the California-Nevada border, also has longstanding traffic issues that we have worked to address. While we appreciate the state’s assistance to date, we frankly need much more. We need a proactive partnership and strategy from the state to bring traffic relief to this region. As Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak reached out to you with a call, I am reaching out to you so that I can share our concerns, demonstrate our obstacles, and seek a solution to our longstanding traffic congestion issues that require the state's focus. The well-being and prosperity of our disadvantaged communities depend on it, as do the state and national e conomies. While multimodal transportation systems are vital to future mobility, roads and highway expansion cannot be discounted as a tool that helps keep our people and goods moving. According to a Wall Street Journal article published earlier this year, the Inland Empire effectively tied the Phoenix region in 2020 for the biggest gain in households from migration nationwide. Riverside County is at the heart of this population growth and is home to two of the state's top ten city growth rates. Since 2000, about 15,000 homes have been built in the City of Eastvale, making up 92 percent of its housing, and its population grew to 70,000 from 4,000. In addition, we are home to two cities identified as having one of the ten longest commute times in the United States. Growth like this is taking place across the entire region. Over the past 30 years, the population of the Inland Empire has grown by 78 percent to 4.6 million, more than twice as fast as the state during that same time. ATTACHMENT 1 62 The Honorable Gavin Newsom December 9, 2021 Page 2 Population growth is not the only driver of the region's traffic congestion nightmare. Our roads do not just move people, they move goods. 40 percent of the nation's goods travel through the Inland Empire by truck and train. As freight and goods movement accelerate to historic levels to serve the rest of the state and the nation, inland residents are left to compete for limited space on our highway networks. This congestion and corresponding frustration lead to reduced productivity, less time with family, poor mental health, and the worst air quality in the country. RCTC is working to deliver a suite of multimodal transportation solutions that will connect our diverse communities, offer mobility choices, promote economic prosperity, reduce traffic congestion, streamline goods and freight movement, and secure a climate-resilient future across Riverside County. Our residents have approved local sales tax measures to provide dedicated funding for transportation projects to meet these goals, but progress has been slow. Due to underinvestment in our region from state and federal governments, we are still programming and constructing projects that were promised to voters 19 years ago. RCTC has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in transportation projects to provide congestion relief along the I-15 corridor in Riverside County. Earlier this year, RCTC completed the $472 million I -15 Express Lanes project, adding two express lanes to I-15 in both directions, from State Route 60 to Cajalco Road in Corona. Part of the project's overall goal was to reduce traffic congestion. While the project alleviated congested bottlenecks, other chokepoints were not relieved, particularly to the south. RCTC is conducting studies to add a non-tolled lane to southbound I-15 from the Cajalco Road on-ramp in Corona to the Weirick Road off-ramp in Temescal Valley, a distance slightly less than one mile. As with the Expansion Project, a small fix like this will make a world of difference. However, this project will not be complete until late 2025 at the earliest. Thankfully, Caltrans joined a local interagency task force to come up with an interim solution. The I-15 Interim Corridor Operations Project will add a temporary lane by allowing crews to strengthen the roadway shoulder pavement to handle traffic loads and restripe lanes at non-standard widths. This project will be operational for a three -year period until improvements for RCTC’s I-15 Corridor Operations project are constructed in this area. It can be difficult to look to the future when we face such a dramatic backlog of projects. Nevertheless, RCTC is also planning next-generation projects that give residents meaningful alternatives to driving while streamlining freight and goods movement. In partnership with Caltrans and the Federal Rail Administration, RCTC is working to bring daily passenger rail service between the Coachella Valley and Los Angeles. The proposed 144-mile rail service is the kind of once-in -a-generation, regionally transformational project that will take vehicles off the road, reduce carbon emissions, improve our air quality, and support our economy—benefiting low -income and disadvantaged communities along the route. The cost to construct this project is $1 billion, and RCTC cannot deliver this and other transformational projects like it without state investments at levels this region has never seen before. 63 The Honorable Gavin Newsom December 9, 2021 Page 3 Riverside County’s longstanding congestion issues are not unlike those at the California-Nevada border. What sets our region apart though, is the millions of Californians who live and work right here, and the state and national economies that hang in the balance as this vital freight and goods movement gateway sinks further into dysfunction. As Chair of RCTC, I truly appreciate all the help we have received from the state thus far. Our work with Caltrans to advance the I-15 Interim Corridor Operations Proje ct and proposed daily passenger rail service to Coachella Valley are excellent examples of solutions -based partnerships. To truly make a difference for our disadvantaged communities and the overall economy and environment, we require your direct attention, collaboration, and investment. I look forward to continuing this conversation with you. Please feel free to contact me at (760) 285-7531.
