Many changes have occurred since then including changes in your staff, different commissioners in some cases, and even the addition of new cities. But the one thing that has remained the same is the long term requests from the public for a Metrolink station at Highgrove! We have recently received requests via e-mail that have been forwarded to SCAG for their Regional Transportation Plan. This plan is from 2012 until the year 2035 that looks into the future transportation needs for the next 23 years. Highgrove is under RCTC's jurisdiction because the present Perris Valley Line connection is only a few feet from the San Bernardino county line at Main Street. In this case, the county line is unimportant because Metrolink trains and freeways have something in common: both are designed to move people! And the high cost of gasoline makes Metrolink even more desirable. The distance between Marlborough Ave. and Highgrove is only one mile but the destinations are different. Station placement has been our only concern due to the existing trains and the difference in destination between these two locations. We know that RCTC can change its mind regarding former station placement choices such as Spruce and Rustin, Palmyrita, and Columbia Ave., for example. We can also change our minds, because we are asking that the station location at Highgrove be moved NORTH of the curved track, so it will not interfere with the Perris Valley Line connection. This new location is still on the 17.22 acre property owned by RCTC and is right next to the track used by daily Metrolink trains between San Bernardino and Riverside. RCTC's property at Highgrove can serve a dual purpose; one for the curved track and one for a regional station for SCAGs RTP. Many people have verbally supported Highgrove from this podium during public comments. Today I am submitting written documentation that includes city resolutions, letters, statements, comments, and recent e-mail requesting a Highgrove station. I am requesting that this information be duplicated, distributed and digested by each commissioner. Take it home, read it, and realize that this is a win/win for commuter rail transportation. RCTC will get commuter trains between Riverside and Perris and the public will be able to use your same property and the existing trains between San Bernardino and Riverside. Other transportation agencies need to know that this location is the best place for SCAG's Regional Transportation Plan. After reviewing this information a letter should be sent from RCTC to SCAG, Mobility 21, SANBAG and Metrolink stating that RCTC's excess property can and should be used for a station that will benefit the region on both sides of the county line. Highgrove has the vacant land, the existing Metrolink trains and long time support. And the public wants to know: "Why can't RCTC's excess property be used for mass transit between the 2 counties? R.

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a plan for the region for the next 23 years from 2012 to 2035. Highgrove is 7 miles south of San Bernardino and 3.5 miles north of Riverside and is where the Perris Valley Line railroad track connects to' the BNSF railroad at the Riverside/San Bernardino County Line. For 10 years the surrounding cities and communities have supported a Metrolink station at Highgrove on the BNSF main line (green line) that has had existing Metrolink trains 7 days a week between the two counties, since July 15, 2006. The 17.22 acres of vacant land between the two railroads, is now owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission. It was purchased to build a new curved track to connect the two railroads to allow future commuter trains between Riverside and Perris (Red curved line). But this curved track only takes up a narrow portion of the 17.22 acres. The remaining property north of the curved track could be used for a Metrolink stop between the two Counties where there is room for approximately 725 parking spaces at the Highgrove Metrolink site and room north of Villa St. for future parking expansion. There are now over 30, 000 residents within a 2 mile radius of the Highgrove Metrolink location and Highgrove still has 1,555 acres of vacant buildable land. One mile east of the Highgrove Metrolink there are 2,500 lots that are ready for building new homes in the Spring Mountain Ranch project. $250 million dollars of infrastructure are already in place that includes sewer lines, water lines, fire hydrants, electrical, flood control, etc.. Highgrove is a perfect location because it already has the existing railroad tracks, existing Metrolink trains 7 days a week, plenty of room for parking, and hundreds of acres of former orange groves have been converted into pads for future homes. Then, after the Perris Valley Line track is rebuilt in a few years, Perris Valley Line Metrolink trains between Riverside and Perris could use this same property at Highgrove to go around the curved track to RCTC's choice for a Metrolink Station (shown in red on the map) A station at Marlborough will not benefit the region because it will not transport any commuters between the two counties that include the San Bernardino Metrolink terminal. One property could be used for two purposes: one to address the needs of the Regional Transportation Plan to transport Metrolink commuters between Riverside County and San Bernardino County, and the other to connect the two railroads for future Metrolink trains between Riverside and Perris.

Please look at the dates of the following statements: Excerpts prepared Jan. 14, 2010 (Not in sequence) Ann Mayer, current Executive Director RCTC: (Press Enterprise, Feb. 15, 2009) "We have to put stops where they will serve the most people". Marion Ashley, Riverside County Supervisor: (Letter, Oct. 14, 2009) "Over the course of more than a decade, the Riverside County Transportation Commission has considered and repeatedly rejected the request of Highgrove residents for Metrolink service." Bob Buster, Riverside County Supervisor: (Statement Oct. 11, 2006) "Highgrove is at the fulcrum, the pivot point of transportation between the 2 counties. You can not ignore the geographic reality that both the freeway and major rail lines and there is available land that will soon be snapped up for other uses. This is a key sight for the future of the Inland Empire" Bob Buster, Riverside County Supervisor: (Letter July 17, 2006) "Highgrove is the right place for a regional, intermodal station, at the junction of the main lines and the 215 freeway. Highgrove still has ample land and the community and Grand Terrace want the station ". Mary Crayton, RCTC Commissioner from Canyon Lake: (RCTC meeting Feb. 11, 2009) Stated that she "was not satisfied why Highgrove has not been considered and that they never went to Highgrove to look at the property ". She stated: "they should consider the property in Highgrove". Roger Berg, RCTC Commissioner from Beaumont: (RCTC meeting Feb. 11, 2009) "The Highgrove station may have some merit, more parking is needed and gridlock will only get worse". James Potts, RCTC Commissioner from San Jacinto: (RCTC meeting Feb. 11, 2009) "It is the right project for the right time and it would open up other areas where seniors could go instead of just driving locally ". Robin Low, RCTC Commissioner from Hemet: (RCTC meeting Feb. 11, 2009) "Recognized the amount of work that has been done on this project and said they need to revisit this idea". Jeff Stone, Riverside County Supervisor: (RCTC meeting Feb. 11, 2009) Was sympathetic to the concerns of those living near the track and said that the 1-215 is reaching capacity and that people need to get out of their cars, onto the tracks and to their destinations. Bill Emmerson. California State Assembly- Dist. 63: (Letter Aug. 14, 2006) "I am very supportive of bringing a Metrolink Station to Highgrove because I agree that it is an appropriate location to help solve traffic congestion for this fast growing area ". Mark Hanson, UCR Professor (emeritus): (Letter Feb. 22, 2009) "For us the "no brainer" aspect of the sitting decision comes down to which station could provide the greatest service to commuters of the region when the Metrolink trains come on line. That has to be Highgrove where one station could serve in three directions: San Bernardino, Riverside and the PVL ". University Neighborhood Association: (Letter Oct. 21, 2005) "Our meeting was standing room only and by a unanimous show of hands, we voted to support a train stop in Highgrove". (Four years later) University Neighborhood Association: (Letter Nov. 17, 2009) "Our community continues to support this concept because that location seems to offer greater overall flexibility. In addition to servicing Metrolink traffic from the PVL, the Highgrove station establishes services to existing Riverside and San Bernardino traffic, and opens opportunities to increase the number of potential riders through the expanded capacity and the flexibility to serve them ". Riverside Land Conservancy: (Letter Oct. 18, 2005) "At this time we see no objection to development of this parcel for such a Metrolink Station, but want you to be aware early on, that the development and any crossing of the Springbrook Arroyo should provide reasonable protection for the natural habitat and an undercrossing for the Regional Trail as well as habitat usage ". City of Loma Linda: (Letter Jan. 24, 2002) "This is to advise that the City Council at the regular meeting of Jan 22, unanimously supported your efforts and the Riverside County Service Area 126 Advisory Board's recommendation to the Riverside County Transportation Commission to site a Metrolink station stop in Highgrove". San Bernardino Sun Newspaper: (Article Dec. 31, 2006) "San Bernardino County Supervisor Dennis Hasnsberger believes there is enough demand for a Metrolink station in the Highgrove area. "It's a very worthwhile objective ", Hansberger said. "Unfortunately, the people in Riverside County who have jurisdiction have not shown a lot of interest. But we are willing to try to get that discussion going". City of Grand Terrace Resolution: (Passed unanimously Dec. 13, 2001) "NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace, does hereby recommend that the Riverside County Transportation Commission grant a Metrolink Station stop at Highgrove when planning for future track upgrading for Metrolink service on the San Jacinto Industrial Spur ".

A. G. and Omnitrans Boards: (Letter June 21, 2006) "I have become aware of the important need to situate a Metrolink stop in our neighboring community of Highgrove, in Riverside County. Due to the fact that the nearest stops at this time are in San Bernardino and Riverside, servicing the transportation needs for the large population in between, with valid predictions of sizable increases in the near future, seem to me to be self- evident". Southern California Association of Governments (S. C. A. G.): (Aug. 30, 2007) "In the latest State of the Region Report, Southern California received an "F" for transportation mobility. The region has been the most congested in the country for the past two decades ". JoAnn Johnson Manager Grand Terrace Senior Center: (Letter Feb. 23, 2009) "I strongly support a Metrolink Station in Highgrove and I know that many others in Grand Terrace do also ". William A. Shopoff, The Shopoff Group: (letter Feb. 23, 2009) "Since Highgrove is a natural railroad junction point where two railroad lines meet between Riverside and San Bernardino, a commuter train stop in Highgrove would benefit the entire region. This location is only /2 mile east of the congested I-215 Freeway that has exits at Center Street. It is also only about one mile northeast of the new $381 million dollar 60/91/215 interchange that was just completed, and about 3 miles south of the 1-215/1-10 interchange. Both major interchanges are between Riverside and San Bernardino and the Highgrove location is also between Riverside and San Bernardino ". Anthony Mize, Builder: (Letter Feb. 24, 2009) "It is our opinion that the junction point of the Metrolink train traffic between the City of Riverside and the City of San Bernardino and the Perris Valley Line is a very logical location for a new station. In this day of "NIMBY" on just about everything, it would seem to us that if a community wants to work together to revitalize itself by embracing something like this then RCTC should give it careful, thoughtful consideration" . Kirk Wallace, Builder: (Letter Oct. 21, 2009) "We feel this station would be very beneficial to the community not only because of the established residents but with the future development that will impact the area of Highgrove". Bobbie Kay Forbes, Terra Loma Real Estate: (Letter Feb. 25, 2009) "As a local Realtor 1 believe the area would benefit having a Metrolink Station in Highgrove. There are many people in our community that use the Metrolink a few times a week to get to LA for work When I am showing property to people from out of the area they will ask about the location of Metrolink stations. And as more people in the area are financially stressed by the economy and the price of commuting they will be more encouraged to use Metrolink f it is closer to home ". Byron Matteson 14 year Mayor of Grand Terrace: (Letter June 23, 2006) "I think the commuter trains will gain even more popularity in the near future as our area continues to experience rapid growth and our freeway systems become more and more congested. Proper planning is essential in being able to handle these future transportation needs and I hope the new Highgrove Station will be approved soon, to help alleviate some of these ongoing traffic problems ". Highgrove CSA 126 Resolution: (Nov. 27, 2001) "Highgrove community adopted a 15 point resolution outlining the benefits of a Metrolink station stop in Highgrove".

Robert and Nancy Rice, Retired Highgrove residents: (Letter Feb. 20, 2009) "We are in our Seventies, and don't like to drive very far.

SUPERVISOR MARION ASHLEY FIFTH DISTRICT October 14, 2009 The Honorable Bob Magee, Chairman Riverside County Transportation Commission 4080 Lemon St., 3rd Floor Riverside, CA 92520 Dear Chairman Magee: I am enclosing recent correspondence which I have received from a number of residents in the Highgrove community regarding ROTC's future Metrolink plans. Over the course of more than a decade, the Riverside County Transportation Commission has considered and repeatedly rejected the request of Highgrove residents for Metrolink service... Most recently, the Commission spent considerable amounts of time and money to identify potential hurdles to constructing a station in the area. My goal is to ensure that the residents of Highgrove's receive a fair hearing and careful consideration of their desire for infrastructure investment in their community and the provision of public transit service. I am requesting that the Perris Valley Line Ad Hoc Committee schedule a meeting within the next few months to review the history of the Commission's actions regarding Highgrove from the day it was first mentioned. During the past few years we have seen new members join RCTC and some of the decisions predate my tenure as a County Supervisor. As we embark on the investment of the Perris Valley Line, I want to ensure that we are making prudent investments with Measure A and federal dollars. While I believe that the Commission has made wise decisions up to this point, we need to continue to challenge ourselves to accomplish more and improve. With that thinking in mind, I hope that we can revisit Highgrove's issues once again. If we can't provide a station and direct rail service to the community, I want our Commissioners to clearly understand the reasons which will only make our project better. On the other hand, if there is way to provide additional transit (either bus or rail) service to Highgrove, this could be an important opportunity to consider it. Most importantly, I want to come away from this effort with a cooperative relationship with the Highgrove community. I would hope that Mr. Barnett could attend the ad hoc meeting with a few of his neighbors so they can interact with our committee members and staff, express their interests and concerns, and then accurately report on the matter with the rest of the community. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Very truly yours, Marion Ashley Riverside County Supervisor, 5th District Cc: Bob Buster, Vice-Chari, Riverside County Transportation Commission: Barney Barnett, Chairman, Highgrove Community Council R. A.

I am very supportive of bringing a Metrolink Station to Highgrove because I agree that it is an appropriate location to help solve traffic congestion for this fast growing area. 1 appreciate all of your efforts in this matter. Please contact me at my District or Capitol office to advise me on how I may assist you to ensure that this Metrolink Station is built. Sincerely, BILL EMMERSON Assemblyman, 63"i District BE/tt Ardie Barnett From: Buster, Bob [BBUSTER©rcbos.org] Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 3:13 PM To: Robert Phillips Subject: RE: METROLINK Mr. Phillips: The second part of my proposal, which l will spell out in another op-ed soon. is to provide Perris -Riverside commuter service for the next five to ten years by Bus Rapid Transit or BRT. These are the high-tech, high- speed, attractive coaches that are jammed with commuters now on Wilshire and Ventura boulevards in L.A. and San Fernando Valley. Separate lanes next to the median on the 215 Freeway here are already planned to be constructed, which BRT can use. BRT is completely flexible as to routes and schedules and operates at less than half the cost of Metrolink trains. BRT improvements on a Perris Line cost only 310 million. BRT obviously has minimal noise or safety problems for existing communities. If BRT takes University Ave. or Martin Luther King off the freeway to go to the Downtown Metrolink Station, it will serve UCR much better. Train service on the Perris Line should not be started until grade separations are in place in the highest priority Riverside and all grade crossing in the University and Hunter Park areas. Indeed, this line should be completely rethought as a San Bernardino -Riverside -Perris (with side service to Hemet -San Jacinto) -Temecula mass transit corridor. BRT can serve it best first. Train service would commence only when, hopefully. two-way ridership justifies it and grade separations and other noise reduction and safety improvements are in place. Rather than luring future residents to live in the mid -county and attempt 100 minute to 130 minute commutes each way to Orange County and L.A., we should be reinforcing our own inland area transportation to provide closer local trips to work. That would also cancel any need for stations in the already cramped University and Hunter Park areas. where impacts on existing neighborhoods will be severe. Highgrove is the right place for a regional, intermodal station, at the junction of the main rail lines and 215 Freeway. Highgrove still has ample land and the community and Grand Terrace want the station. I've been meeting with every City of Riverside Councilmember, the Chambers of Commerce, UC Riverside reps. from the Chancellor's Office, and our State Assemblymen and Senators about my proposal. I've still got a few left to talk to. but, so far. everyone is very favorable. Getting Mayor Loveridge and Supervisors Tavaglione and Ashley "on board" is important. I think it's possible to build enough support to turn Mr. Haley around and then go and lobby our Congressional reps. (Calvert mainly) to make some sense of how ample federal transportation dollars are spent here. Your writing the Mayor. both Supervisors, and Cong. Calvert to tell them what you told me will help a great deal. Bob Buster. Supv.. 1st District Supervisor Bob Buster's comments 10-11-2006 "A defacto decision has been made here apparently that has not been discussed by the commission and we are the policy body". "Highgrove is at the fulcrum, the pivot point of transportation between the 2 counties. You can not ignore the geographic reality that both the freeway and major rail lines and there is available land that will soon be snapped up for other uses". "This is a key sight for the future of the Inland Empire" Supervisor Marion Ashley's comments 10-11-2006 "Logically there should be a Metrolink stop in the Highgrove area for a lot of reasons but it is not just that simple. That doesn't mean that the residents can't continue to pursue this until we come up with some solution that will please as many people as possible but we need the cooperation of San Bernardino County in order to do this. Direct staff to arrange a tour of the Perris Valley Line and look at the Highgrove sight" Eric Haley's comments 10-11-2006 "Recognize that it (a Highgrove station) would trigger an $85 million dollar obligation to build the Colton crossing". "There are complicated legal issues, complicated timing issues very complicated cost negotiations that have never been seriously addressed by our San Bernardino neighbors" THIS MESSAGE IS BEING SENT ON BEHALF OF ERIC HALEY. A hard copy of this letter will be included with your agenda packet. Dear Commissioners: During our September retreat in La Quinta, staff was directed to set up a tour of the proposed Perris Valley Line project. The tour would give Commissioners an opportunity to see the proposed line on a first-hand basis and to also visit the locations of proposed stations. The best way to travel the rail line is through a Hy -Rail vehicle, which is an SUV that is equipped with steel wheels that allows it to travel on the actual rail line. By traveling in this type of vehicle, you will be able to travel the line much like a Metrolink car would. Hy -Rail vehicles are owned by the railroads and Metrolink and obtain access to one takes time to reserve. After a few weeks of working with the railroad, staff has been able to secure the availability of two Hy -Rail vehicles for Tuesday, November 28. The tour will begin with breakfast and a brief presentation at RCTC's offices at 8:15 a.m. We will then drive to the Highgrove area for the Hy -Rail part of the tour. Space is limited so please call Jennifer Harmon to reserve a place on the tour as quickly as possible. We are also aware that this last week of November is an especially busy one with Committee meetings scheduled for the 27th and our special workshop on the 30th. For that reason, we will also schedule another Hy -Rail tour in the future, but thought it would be important to offer this one as soon as the vehicles were made available Thank you for your interest in the Perris Valley Line project. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the tour.

"Barney" Barnett thinks he has a solution to clear up some of the traffic mess on local freeways. The 68 -year -old is leading an effort to build a Metrolink station just south of Grand Terrace. Barnett is pushing transportation officials in San Bernardino and Riverside counties to make the project a priority. The biggest obstacle, he says, is finding someone to buy about 35 acres of vacant land to build the station. More than 2,000 homes are slated to be built starting next spring in Highgrove, an unincorporated Riverside County area bordering Grand Terrace that Barnett has called home since 1947. "All this development is going to bring a lot of traffic to Highgrove," said Barnett, who publishes the Highgrove Happenings monthly newspaper with his wife, Ardie. "If we don't do something, the whole area is going to be jammed." But Riverside County transportation authorities question if there would be enough riders to warrant a station. "We're doing a thorough analysis to determine if it's feasible," said John Standiford, spokesman for the Riverside County Transportation Commission. "If only a few people are going to ride it, it's not worth the investment." The commission on Jan. 10 is scheduled to hear a report on the feasibility of a station. In addition, San Bernardino Associated Governments' Commuter Rail Committee is expected to discuss the project on Jan. 18. Barnett said there are now 48 Metrolink trains a week that pass through Highgrove between Riverside and San Bernardino on the Inland Empire -Orange County line. The proposed stop is seven miles from the Metrolink station in San Bernardino and 3.5 miles from the Riverside station, he said. Standiford said he doesn't know if the land proposed by Barnett is for sale. The pie -shaped parcel, which is owned by a land trust, is bordered on two sides by different sets of railroad tracks. Barnett said the site is large enough for shops and restaurants to serve rail commuters getting on and off trains. Bus riders would have close access to the station from a route that goes through Highgrove between Riverside and Loma Linda, he said. Barnett has received support from elected officials in Grand Terrace and Loma Linda. Both cities have passed resolutions in favor of the station. "If it does anything to alleviate traffic on the freeways, I think that's a good thing," said Grand Terrace Mayor Maryetta Ferre. San Bernardino County Supervisor Dennis Hansberger believes there is enough demand for a Metrolink station in the Highgrove area. "It's a very worthwhile objective," Hansberger said. "Unfortunately, the people in Riverside County who have jurisdiction have not shown a lot of interest. But we're willing to try to get that discussion going."

It shows how large of a county Riverside is. And how many people live here, with just one person to represent all the cities they really have a big reasonability. As I was waiting for my time to address the Riverside County Transportation Commission on the subject of supporting a Metro Link Station in Highgrove I was able to observe them in action. Very interesting, but I have some concerns that "with some of the commissioners, they were not listening to our voice. My biggest concern was with Mr. Eric Hayley. I have never met this man or even heard him speak but he made me think, why is he .so against this? Is he mad at someone, or something? It seemed like he wants to shut this idea down with out even trying to view the possibilities. I know I sound like a broken record, but this Metro Link Station is just too big of a good idea just to toss out. We all know its going to cost a lot of money and why worry about who owns the land at this point. It really needs to be looked into 5etiously and with out bias.. Riverside and San Bernardino are growing too much to fa5t and jU5t putting this on the back burner and let this pass by will not help the public transportation issues. The out come of this issue was that the Riverside County Transportation Commission will meet with the San Bernardino Associated Governments. To represent the people from Riverside County on this matter is to be Eric Hayley, after hearing him speak, seeing his actions I'm afraid that he is not informed enough to present this issue unbiased and will not speak seriously about it. So I am asking that you please invite Mr. Barney Barnett of Highgrove, to speak about the Highgrove Metro Link Station to the San Bernardino Associated Government when they meet with the Riverside County Transportation Commission and to all future meeting. By doing this Mr. Barney Barnett can answer questions and keep other supportive groups informed.

As you know, there is a great deal of interest about the locations of the Metrolink train stops planned for our area. While there is great community support for high quality public mass transit, there is also a growing resistance to having a stop at UCR on Watkins Dr. We believe a better location for a second stop would be in Highgrove where there is more room for parking and would provide a significantly smaller impact to existing residential areas. Our meeting was standing room only and by a unanimous show of hands, we voted to support a train stop in Highgrove. We remain committed to the Perris Valley Line setting the standard for a workable transportation solution and to enhancing our community's assets. I offer this feedback for your consideration.

It has been several -years since our Grand Terrace City Council_ first endorsed the location in .51lighgrove for a station stop and the new week -end trains are a very welcome addition. Metrolink stop in J-lighgrove wouldprevent us from having to drive to San Bernardino or 'Riverside to board the commuter trains and the idea of being able to ride to San Bernardino for additional destin ations between San Bernardino andt.Cos .Angeles or to Riverside, Orange County, or the beach, from nearby 3ighgrove, is a benefit that will be appreciated by many of the residents of our city. It would also help alleviate some of the anticipated traffic problems through GrandTerrace associatedwith the new homes to be built in the Spring Jvlountain Ranch Project. I have been very active in the City of Grand -Terrace and first served as Mayor Pro 'hem in 1980 and 1981. In 1982 I was elected Mayor of Grand -Terrace and served consecutive terms as Mayor for the next 14 years until 1996. I think the commuter trains wiffgain even more popularity in the near future as our area continues to experience rapidgrowth and our freeway systems become more and more congested. Proper planning is essential in being able to handle these future transportation needs andI hope the new a-fighgrove Station will be approved -soon, to help alleviate some of these ongoing traffic problems.

Grant, a resident of Grand Terrace, California. I served on the City Council of our Community, beginning as a Charter member, for fourteen years, from 1978 to 1992, with four years tucked in there as Mayor, from 1980 to 1984. I finally decided to retire from the Council at the completion of my final term, due to the location of my new employment position. I represented Grand Terrace on the SanBag and Omnitrans Boards for many years, as well as San Bernardino County LAFCO as the Chairman. I have become aware of the important need to situate a Metrolink stop in our neighboring community of Highgrove, in Riverside County. Due to the fact that the nearest stops at this time are in San Bernardino and Riverside, servicing the transportation needs for the large population in between, with valid predictions of sizable increases in the near future, seem to me to be self-evident. I therefore respectfully request that you and the Riverside County Transportation Commission seriously consider a viable solution to the transportation needs of the people of Highgrove, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, and the surrounding areas, a Metrolink Station stop in Highgrove, California.

"Barney" Arnett 474 Prospect Ave. Highgrove, CA 92507 Dear Mr.33,rnett, May 28, 2001 We spoke by phone a few weeks ago, and you suggested that I write a letter to you regarding my thoughts on the proposed Metrolink Park and Ride stop in Highgrove which I was delighted to read about in your column in the Highgrove Happenings Newsletter for May. I work in North Hollywood. My commute is as follows: I drive from my home in Grand Terrace to the Metrolink Station in Riverside (sometimes to San Bernardino). I ride to Los Angeles and then transfer to the Metro Red Line to the North Hollywood terminus where I then transfer to a bus to complete my journey. The time spent commuting is usually 2 - 2.5 hours. A Metrolink Station in Highgrove would certainly ease my commute. I have a few suggestions regarding it: 1. It should be a courtesy service extension of the Riverside and San Bernardino lines. That is, much like the "feeder" service to Glendale and Burbank from Los Angeles, it should not be a separate fee from the ticket / pass purchased to ride those lines. 2. Metrolink should consider working with the San Bernardino and Riverside County Transportation Authorities to market the addition as new service between the two cities. As such, I would suggest adding a station stop in the Colton shopping area too. 3. Service needs to be as frequent as possible; not just tied to the Inland Empire - Orange County Line Schedule. A train that can shuttle in - between would be ideal, perhaps running once an hour.. Done properly, this would not only be great for those of us living in the Highgrove area, but for others who live and work in the greater Riverside - San Bernardino "central" corridor.

Speaking for myself and for some others, t want you to know how much a Metro Link Station in Highgrove or Grand Terrace would help greatly. For seniors who are not comfortable driving out of town as well as for commuters, I personally think a Station in our area would be a definite plus. Please consider very carefully.

A Metrolink station would benefit our property by providing a nearby alternative to automotive transportation and may ease traffic on the 215 freeway. Bixby Land Company would also be supportive of the East-West road connecting Spring Street to the proposed Metrolink station location you pictured in the December 2005 issue of Highgrove Happenings. This route could also ease traffic along Center Street. From our discussions, we agreed that if a North -South road were determined to be necessary and feasible to connect the Hunter Park tech area through to Highgrove, that we would not object to an alignment along the California Street right-of-way, currently a dirt road. However we would not support an alignment through the middle of the 65 acres of land we are in the process of developing. Thank you for your efforts to improve the Highgrove area. It takes involved citizens to ensure the best results are achieved for all the owners and residents of Highgrove. Sincerely, 147?, ie._ .4 Mark L. Bixby C: Terry Dickens P.O.

The site in Highgrove has plenty of room for parking, etc. and future expansion. The proposed site on Watkins Drive does not have enough room to house a station, not to mention, room for expansion. In addition, Watkins Drive now turns into a virtual parking lot during morning and evening rush hours as commuters use it as a short cut from the 60 freeway to the 215/91 freeways in the morning and vice versa in the evening. Even to discuss the addition of metro traffic (which would certainly peak at the same rush hours) to an already over - congested residential street indicates that decisions are being made without regard to the real world conditions and consequences.

Metro stations on Watkins Drive in Riverside would be located near two elementary and one middle school, and several child care facilities. These trains would add particulates to the air and this would be harmful to the children and to senior citizens living in the area. If a transit village is constructed in this area, homes would be taken for the space required to build such a facility. Sincerely, Clifford and Margaret Berger Riverside City Council Member March 21, 2006 Dear Dom Betro, Please set aside the 35 acres shown on the accompanying map for a future Metrolink Station and Transportation Center. This location is in the Hunter Business Park area between the BNSF railroad main line that runs between Riverside and San Bernardino, and the Perris Valley Line that runs between Highgrove and San Jacinto. This important location is ideal because the west side of the property is bordered by railroad tracks that currently have 8 commuter trains that go past this location without stopping because there is no station, and the east side of the property that is bordered by railroad tracks already owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission for the Perris Valley Line. If the City of Riverside is planning for the year 2025, it is important to realize now that this city owned property should be reserved for future transportation uses instead of allowing more large buildings to be built. A Metrolink station, park and ride and bus service and a new road is needed to accommodate the future growth of the area where grading is currently underway for 2,100 new homes. In addition, other developers are planning new construction of businesses and homes where citrus groves used to flourish. There are resolutions of support from Highgrove, Grand Terrace and Loma Linda for a Metrolink station in Highgrove. Also, the members of the University Neighborhood Association in Canyon Crest agree that they do not want a station stop at UCR or Spruce and Watkins in their community but prefer a station in Highgrove. The boundaries of the Hunter Park location mentioned above are: Villa St. on the north, Citrus St. on the south, the Perris Valley Line Railroad on the east and the BNSF Railroad on the west. Please include this area as a Metrolink Station and Transportation Center in the 2025 General Plan. Thank you, R. R. A.

Their first letter was dated Jan. 24, 2002 and a new letter is dated Jan. 26, 2012. It is unfortunate that the Highgrove location continues to be downplayed for such a long period of time. For over 10 years, surrounding cities, civic organizations and local residents have requested a Metrolink station at Highgrove. But city resolutions, letters, and the public comments made at the RCTC meetings continue to be ignored. RCTC now owns the property at Highgrove and according to Ann Mayer, Executive Director of the Riverside County Transportation Commission, RCTC bought the 17.22 acres of vacant land just to enable the Perris Valley Line railroad track to connect to the BNSF main line track. The excess land that RCTC does not need would be an ideal location for the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan for commuters between San Bernardino County and Riverside County. On Jan.18, 2012 I spoke at the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan meeting in San Bernardino under public comments and submitted written documentation that contained 29 items that included a colored map, city resolutions and letters of support from elected officials and local residents. Some of these items date back to 2001. This information was given to Justine Block who is SCAG's Deputy Legal Council in Los Angeles. Copies of the above e-mail have been sent to SCAG, prior to the Feb. 14, 2012 deadline for public input for their Regional Transportation Plan. The above list is also being sent to RCTC and SANBAG representatives. Please look at the new map and the related information on: www.highgrovehappenings.net that shows the Highgrove Metrolink Station north of the proposed curved track. RCTC's property at Highgrove should be use for the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan due to the ideal location, existing commuter trains, and growth potential due to hundreds of acres of nearby lots ready for homes. This location is way too important to continue to be ignored! R. A.

The framers of the Constitu- tion could not foresee the appear- ance of huge tra nsnational corpo- rations that are co ncer ned o nly with profit and do not care about the coun tries in which they con- duct busin ess. What was supposed to be a democratic republic has de- volved into a commercial republic . Corporate money buys elections an d politicians. We need to conti nue the direct democratic procedures that came i nto being in the last ce nt ury: i nitia- ti ve, referend um and recall . This co uld be done through the Internet backed up by a paper vote .

There is no way I can understand any reason to not have a station in Highgrove. I have seen many resolutions from varies cities and requests from residents asking for this station. If I understand all of this correctly this station will be very convenient for many residents in both Riverside and San Beranardino counties who can use the Metrolink service form the Highgrove station but would essentially have very little use of this service from the Hunter Park proposal. I believe us tax payers funding this project deserve the route that will serve the most people. Thank you for any consideration for us tax payers in your decision regarding this project. — 4 Dale Crossno 22668 Arliss Dr. Grand Terrace,Ca. 92313 909 825 6963 Ardie/Barney Barnett From: Sent: To: Subject: Virginia Washburn [washburn_virginia@yahoo.com] Thursday, February 02, 2012 8:42 AM highgrovenews@roadrunner.com WE SUPPORT METRO LINK STATION AT HIGHGROVE,CA WE SUPPORT METROLIV STATION AT HIGHGROVE, CALIFORNIA Thank you Ardie/Barney Barnett From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Marie Thomas [mgdmariel l @yahoo.com] Thursday, February 02, 2012 10:37 AM amatya@scag.ca.gov highgrovenews@roadrunner.com Metrolink Station We support a Metrolinkc Station at Highgrove!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is being asked to consider the adoption of resolutions of necessity declaring its intent to acquire fee, easement and temporary construction easement interests in portions of certain real property, by eminent domain, more particularly described as Assessor Parcel No. 311-120-022 (Caltrans Parcel Numbers 22406-1, 22406-2, 22406-3, 22406-4, 22406-5 and 22406-6) and Assessor Parcel No. 311-180-032 (Caltrans Parcel Numbers 22408-1, 22408-2 and 22408-3), and, for freeway purposes, including the widening and maintenance of 1-215 from Scott Road to Nuevo Road, in Riverside County, California (the Project). The immediate need for the property acquisitions is to proceed with the construction of the Project. The acquisitions are required for and will benefit the community by adding one lane in each direction, widening or replacing bridges, resurfacing existing lanes, and adding sound walls where necessary. Preliminary title reports were obtained from Lawyers Title Insurance Company to confirm and identify the record owners of the parcels affected by the Project. The Commission then served the affected property owners with a notice of the Commission's decision to appraise the property. The Commission had the property appraised and made an offer to the record owners. Negotiations have been unsuccessful for the purchase of the property; however, the adoption of a resolution of necessity for each property will not prevent negotiations from continuing. Since an agreement has not been reached with the owners of record, it may be necessary to acquire the parcels described in the attachments by eminent domain. The initiation of the eminent domain process is accomplished by the Commission's adoption of resolutions of necessity for the affected property. Description Of Properties To Be Acquired Caltrans Parcel Numbers 22406-1, 22406-2, 22406-3, 22406-4, 22406-5, and 22406-6 are owned by Laurel Palms Apts., Inc. The property is located in Riverside County, California, and is referred to as the larger parcel. The property is occupied and improved with a residential apartment building complex, which houses residential tenants. Fee, easement and temporary construction easement interests are necessary for the Project. Agenda Item 7 • 2 • • • Ca!trans Parcel Numbers 22408-1, 22408-2 and 22408-3 are owned by Lillian E. Stephens, a sole Trustee of The Stephens Family Trust dated November 15, 1990, Steve Williams & Brenda Jordan, Successor Trustees of the Blake Family Trust, International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, Successor Trustee of the Judith Blake Living Trust (hereafter referred to as "Stephens et. al"). The property is located in Riverside County, California, and is referred to as the larger parcel. The property is vacant land. Easement and temporary construction easement interests are necessary for the Project. Project Description The Project will provide for the widening and maintenance of 1-215 from Scott Road to Nuevo Road, and other freeway purposes, in Riverside County, California. Hearings And Required Findings The action requested of the Commission at the conclusion of this hearing is the adoption of resolutions of necessity, authorizing the acquisition of real property interests by eminent domain. The property owners are Laurel Palms Apts., Inc. and the Stephens, et. al ownership. The properties are further identified in the legal descriptions and depicted on the maps, which are attached. California eminent domain law provides that a public entity may not commence with eminent domain proceedings until its governing body has adopted a resolution of necessity, which resolution may only be adopted after the governing body has given each party with an interest in the affected property, or their representatives, a reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard on the following matters: 1. The public interest and necessity require the proposed project; 2. The project is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; 3. The real property to be acquired is necessary for the project; and 4. The offer of just compensation has been made to the property owners. Notices of the hearing were sent by first class mail to the property owners, and stated the Commission's intent to consider the adoption of a resolution, the right of each person to appear and be heard on these issues, and that failure to file a written request to appear would result in a waiver of the right to appear and be heard. The Commission has scheduled this hearing at which all persons who filed a written request within 15 days of the date of notice was mailed may appear and be heard. The Commission's legal counsel mailed the required notices to the Laurel Palms Apts. Inc. property owner on December 9, 2011, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, section 1245.235; an amended notice was Agenda Item 7 mailed on December 15, 2011; and a second amended notice was mailed on January 27, 2012. The Commission's legal counsel mailed the required notices to the Stephens/Blake property owners on February 6, 201 2, in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure, section 1245.235. The property owners were also invited to meet with Commission and Caltrans staff to address any concerns the property owners may have with the design of the Project in the manner proposed and the necessity of the acquisition. The four required findings are addressed as follows: 1. Public Interest And Necessity Require The Proposed Project The acquisition of the property is necessary to construct the Project, which will reduce traffic congestion and enhance safety by adding one lane in each direction, widening or replacing bridges, resurfacing existing lanes and adding sound walls where necessary. 2. The Project Is Planned Or Located In A Manner That Will Be Most Compatible With The Greatest Public Good And The Least Private Injury A thorough analysis was conducted to find the single best location for this Project. Environmental analyses and findings indicate that these sites uniquely satisfy the engineering, public health, and environmental issues, and these locations are the most compatible with the greatest public good. These locations that will result in the least private injury. 3. The Property Sought To Be Acquired Is Necessary For The Proposed Project As described above, a careful analysis was performed regarding these locations and what property and property rights were needed, and these parcels meet all the desired characteristics for the construction of the improvements for the Project. 4. The Offer Of Just Compensation Has Been Made Appraisals and appraisal reviews were prepared by the Commission's appraisers, Mason and Mason, and R. P. Laurain & Associates, Inc., respectively, to establish the fair market value of the real property the Commission is seeking to acquire from the interests owned by the property owners identified herein. Offers of just compensation were made to the property owners to purchase the property interests, based on the approved appraisals, as required by Section 7267.2 of the California Government Code. Although negotiated settlements may still be possible, it would be Agenda Item 7 • • 4 • • appropriate to commence the procedures to acquire the properties through eminent domain, to ensure that the properties will be available to meet the time frames associated with the construction of the Project. Environmental Analysis Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has been satisfied by the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration/Finding of No Significant Impact in April 2011. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact for this action. Notice of Public Hearing A notice of hearing to the property owners was mailed on December 9, 2011, to the Laurel Palms Apts., Inc. property owners of record.

Courtesy Copy Margaret L. Barnes AGENDA ITEM 9A RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: March 14, 2012 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Michele Cisneros, Accounting and Human Resources Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to receive and file the Quarterly Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2011. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the last six months ofthe fiscal year, staff has monitored the revenues and expenditures of the Commission. The attached financial statements present the revenues and expenditures for the first six months of the fiscal year. Period closing accrual adjustments are not included for revenues earned but not billed and expenditures incurred for goods and services received but not yet invoiced, as such adjustments are normally made during the year-end closing activities. The operating statement shows the sales tax revenues for the second quarter at 35 percent of the budget. This is a result of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33. GASB 33 requires sales tax revenue to be accrued for the period in which it is collected at the point of sale. The State Board of Equalization collects the Measure A 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 through October 2010. On a cash basis, the Measure A and Local Transportation Fund (LTF) sales tax revenues are 9.44 percent and 9.84 percent higher, respectively, than the same period last fiscal year. This continued increase is an encouraging sign that economic recovery in the region is broadening. Staff will continue to monitor the trends in the sales tax receipts and will report to the Commission any necessary adjustments to the FY 2011/12 budget sales tax revenues. Agenda Item 9A 52 Federal, state, and local revenues are on a reimbursement basis, and the Commission will receive these revenues as the projects are completed and invoiced to the respective agencies. During the FY 2011/12 budget process, the Commission took a conservative approach in estimating the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) receipts as a result of the housing crisis and significant impact this has had on the Inland Empire's local economy. The operating statement shows the TUMF revenues at 32 percent of the budget. Other revenues include $440,325 from the proceeds related to the sale of land at the West Corona Station and easement on the San Jacinto Branch Line property. The Commission took a conservative approach in estimating interest income for FY 2011/12, due to flat interest yields on invested balances. Additionally, the 2010 Build America Bonds (BABs) subsidy payments were reflected as a reduction of interest payments in the FY 2011/12 budget; however, generally accepted accounting principles require such payments to be accounted for as interest income. During December 2012, the Commission received approximately $1.5 million in BABs subsidy payments. Interest income is at 170 percent of the budget as a result of the conservative approach to estimating interest income as well as the accounting for BABs subsidy payments. Other than capital project expenditures that are discussed separately, the other expenditures are in line overall with the expectations of the budget with the following exceptions: • Salaries and benefits are slightly over as a result of a prepayment for the FY 2011/12 employer retirement contribution that provides a discount of half a year's interest. • Professional services are under budget due to ongoing contract negotiations with Burlington Northern Santa Fe regarding the 4"' Main track and significant legal and advisory services related to the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (SR -91 CIP) design -build procurement being delayed until a full project funding commitment from the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan program has been secured. • Support costs are under budget due to unused budget authority for station maintenance and repair, and utilities. • Program operations expenditures are under budget and reflect vendor invoices for program management submitted through November 2011. • Operating and capital disbursements are made as claims are submitted to the Commission by the transit operators. • Special studies are under budget due to unused budget authority for Caltrans project initiation documents (PID). Due to the state's budget issues, funds Agenda Item 9A • 53 were budgeted in FY 2011/12 should the Commission be required to reimburse Caltrans for PIDs. • Local streets and roads expenditures are related to the timing of Measure A sales tax revenues as previously explained. These financial statements reflect expenditures made to the local jurisdictions related to collections through October 2011. • Regional arterial expenditures primarily represent expenditures for the highways and regional arterial program administered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG). CVAG requests reimbursements from the Commission based on available funds and sufficient budget authority. • Capital outlay expenditures are under budget due to unexpended authority for financial software improvements, regional rideshare hardware improvements, and station security improvements. This category is expected to remain under budget for lower costs related to the financial software improvements and not requiring the regional rideshare hardware. At the February meeting, the Commission approved a new model for operating the regional rideshare system that does not require hardware. Debt service interest expenditures on the 2010 Bonds are made in December and June, while interest expenditures on the 2009 Bonds are made monthly due to the variable rate nature of the bonds. Principal payments on the 2009 Bonds and 2010 Bonds are made in June. Staff will continue to monitor the revenues and expenditures and will notify the Commission of any unusual events. Listed below are the significant capital projects and the status. Capital project expenditures are generally affected by lags in invoices submitted by contractors and consultants, as well as issues encountered during certain phases of the projects. The capital projects budgets tend to be based on aggressive project schedules. Highway Engineering/Construction/Design-Build/Right of Way/Land 74/215 Interchange Project - Construction is progressing as planned and a ribbon - cutting ceremony was held on February 16; one right of way acquisition is currently in condemnation proceedings. SR -79 Realignment Project - The draft project report and environmental document is being reviewed by Caltrans to receive approval to release for public circulation. Due to the size and complexity of the project, this phase has taken longer than anticipated. Agenda Item 9A 54 SR-91/Van Buren Boulevard Interchange Project - The city of Riverside is the lead agency for this project. Construction started in March 2010 and the project is substantially completed and open to traffic. The Measure A funded portion of construction is $5 million; only $3 million in costs have been submitted by the city with the remaining $2 million expected to be billed in the third quarter of FY 2011/12. SR -91 HOV Lanes Project - Caltrans has completed design work. Expenditures remain within the budget authority. Utility relocation contractors continue to perform relocation of utilities; however, no invoices for expenditures incurred to date have been submitted for payment. Staff is performing right of way acquisition, and negotiations continue to progress and are on schedule; several acquisitions are pending settlements. Construction managed by Caltrans is currently forecasted to start in the late march of early April. 71/91 Interchange Project - The preliminary engineering and environmental phase was completed in late FY 2010/11. The availability of federal earmark funds allows the final design phase of work to move forward. Procurement for the design consultant was awarded at the February Commission meeting. SR -91 CIP (design -build) - A Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) III grant application and letter of interest (LO1) for a TIFIA loan was submitted in October 2011. In December, the Commission was selected to receive a $20 million TIGER III TIFIA grant that will translate into a TIFIA loan to partially fill the remaining funding gap for the project. Early right of way acquisition work was approved by Caltrans in April 2011. Following the public comment period ending in July 2011, early acquisition work began. Right of way expenditures for FY 2011/12 are weighted toward the end of the fiscal year due to the long lead time to close escrow on property purchases. The design -build request for proposals is being finalized for issuance in late FY 2011/12. Agency, utility, and railroad agreement work continues with certain agreements now completed and with others in various stages of completion. 1-15 CIP - Work on the environmental phase continues. Toll feasibility work continues to evaluate various project options in our current funding environment. Staff has used toll feasibility work to develop a scoping and implementation plan that was presented to an 1-15 CIP Ad Hoc Committee in July 2011. Comments were received and action items were developed to perform further analysis and to make further project recommendations to the ad hoc committee in the fourth quarter of FY 2011/12. 1-215 South Widening Project from Murrieta Hot Springs Road to Scott Road - Construction began in July 2011 and is on schedule. Agenda Item 9A • 55 • 1-215 Central Widening Project from Scott Road to Nuevo Road - Final design and right of way acquisitions related to the project are on schedule. I-215/Van Buren Interchange - This project is managed by the county of Riverside, and construction bids were received in February. Contract award by the County is anticipated within the next few months. Mid County Parkway Project - Right of way acquisitions have been curtailed as property development has subsided, and the critical need to acquire property for protection has been delayed due to the substantial rescoping of the project. Rail Engineering/Construction/Right of Way/Land Perris Valley Line Project - Advance preliminary engineering is approximately 90 percent complete and right of way acquisition has started. Environmental clearances are scheduled to be obtained the end of the third quarter of FY 2011/12, which would release activity for final right of way procurement and start of the final design phase.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its December 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement to MuniServices, LLC (MuniServices) for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on additional sales tax revenue generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax) audit services. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only the Measure A sales tax revenues. Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices submitted an audit update, which reported findings that have been generated and submitted to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) for review and determination of errors in sales tax reporting related to 205 businesses. Through Q3 2011 for July through September 2011, the SBOE has approved corrections for 151 of these accounts for a total sales tax revenue recovery of $ 1,810,970. If the SBOE concurs with the error(s) for the remaining claims, the Commission would receive additional revenues; however, the magnitude of the value of the remaining findings was not available. It is important to note that while the recoveries of additional revenues will be tangible, it will not be sufficient to alter the overall trend of sales tax revenues. Additionally, MuniServices provided the Commission with the quarterly sales tax summary report for the third quarter of calendar year 2011 for July through September 2011 (Q3 2011). Most of the Q3 2011 Measure A sales tax revenues was received by the Commission in the fourth quarter of calendar 2011, during October through December 2011, due to a lag in the sales tax calendar. The summary section of the Q3 2011 report is attached and includes an overview of California sales tax receipts, local results, historical cash collections analysis, Agenda Item 9B 59 summary of the top 25 sales tax contributors, historical sales tax amounts, sales tax by business category, economic trends for significant business category (auto sales -new), and results. The following observations were noted in the Q3 2011 report: • Sales tax receipts for Riverside County were 10.3 percent higher compared to the Q3 2010, and slightly higher than the state. This supports the previous quarterly reports' analyses that an economic recovery statewide and locally is underway; however, the Commission should continue to be cautious as service stations is one of the top three economic segments throughout the state leading this recovery. A significant portion of this growth is attributable to the high fuel prices. • Taxable transactions for the top 25 tax contributors in Riverside County, which generated 23 percent of the taxable sales for the year ended Q3 2011, increased 5.1 percent compared to the year ended Q3 2010. For the top 100 tax contributors, which generated 37 percent of the taxable sales, the growth was 8 percent. • For the third consecutive period, all economic categories experienced increases in the Q3 2011 benchmark year comparison to Q3 2010. Transportation had the largest increase at 20 percent, which was primarily 'related to the service station segment increase. Business to business had the next highest increase at 6.1 percent. These two categories represent 41.2 percent of total sales taxes. The remaining four economic categories had increases ranging from 2.5 percent to 5.6 percent. % of Total / % Change', General Retail California'.

Statewide sales tax receipts during October -December 2011 grew by 9.2%. Northern California grew by 9.4% and Southern California grew by 9.0%. For now the economy looks to be moving in the right direction. The housing market is improving in comparison to previous years with declines in both the number of defaults and foreclosures. California exports, technological products, domestic capital spending and agriculture have accelerated the economic recovery in California. Many automotive dealers, including products made by the "Detroit 3", are experiencing moderate sales increases. Consumer spending jumped from last quarter and helped stimulate the economy for a moderate third quarter growth. CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE California's outlook for the future remains mostly positive but faces some headwinds. Consumer confidence and rising income has helped drive the increase in taxable sales and we expect to see continued growth for the balance of 2011 and 2012. Unemployment will remain stubbornly high; job creation will occur, but recovery will be slow. California home sales and median prices will improve slightly in 2012, construction sector, which has seen a 40% decline since 2007, will grow but will not be able to regain its former strength in the foreseeable future. Many economists expect California's economy to slowly improve but at a rate slower than other states. However, California does have a big future ahead of itself: a large and growing population. By 2012, 39.5 million residents will call California home. Growth will boost residential construction, retail sales and services. California still faces high unemployment rates and ongoing reductions in government sector jobs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: • • In November 2010, the Commission issued $37,630,000 in fixed rate tax-exempt bonds (Series A) and $112,370,000 in fixed rate taxable bonds (Series B) designated as build America bonds (BABs) under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (collectively, the 2010 Bonds). The aggregate amount issued of $150 million for the 2010 Bonds was used to retire approximately $103,300,000 of outstanding commercial paper notes, provide funds for 2009 Measure A Western County capital projects, and pay costs of issuance. Approximately $44,229,000 of Series B bond proceeds was deposited to the 2010 Bonds Project Fund for future capital expenditures. A portion of the BABs were designated as recovery zone economic development bonds (RZEDBs). The Commission expects to receive, and has received to date, a semi annual cash subsidy from the United States Treasury equal to 35% of the interest payable on the BABs or 45% of the interest payable on the Series B bonds additionally designated as RZEDBs. As required under the debt management policy, a report is to be provided to the Commission regarding the expenditure of proceeds from the 2010 Bonds Project Fund since the closing of the debt issuance transaction. As of February 3, all proceeds in the 2010 Bonds Project Fund have been expended, and the attached report is a summary of the expenditures for the various 2009 Measure A capital projects.

In an effort to fulfill this vision, RCTC issues short and long-term debt on an as -needed basis. RCTC's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for the sale of debt for the specific projects. RCTC's main objectives in the sale of debt are to: • Issue bonds subject to a bond debt limitation of $500975,000,000 under the 2009 Measure A program, as amended by Measure K in November 2010, • Maintain a 2x debt service coverage, • Obtain the lowest possible cost of funds for each of RCTC's borrowing programs, • Obtain the highest possible credit ratings that allow sufficient flexibility, • Minimize risk exposure to variable rate debt and/or derivatives, and • Maintain the required secondary market disclosure with the rating agencies, institutional and retail investors. This Comprehensive Debt Management Policy contains the policies and the procedures that govern all debt sales. All participants performing services on RCTC's debt sales: • Must comply with the policies and procedures set forth herein, and • Will be expected to consistently perform at a level that provides maximum benefit to RCTC.

The firm must hold and maintain all licenses and registrations required by applicable federal and state laws for businesses offering underwriting or investment banking services. All licenses and registrations must be current and in good standing with each of the following: 1 F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC - Revised a-01a-3/1-OMarch 14, 2012 • • 76 • • the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), • the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), and • the California Department of Corporations (CDC). G. PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT All of RCTC's debt financing participants shall maintain the highest standards of professional conduct at all times: 1. Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) Rules, including Rule G-37, shall be followed at all times. 2. RCTC expects debt financing participants to assist RCTC's staff in achieving its goals and objectives as defined in this Comprehensive Debt Management Policy. 3. All debt financing participants shall make cooperation with RCTC's staff their highest priority. H. NEW ISSUANCE AND BOND PROCEEDS MINIMUM BALANCE RCTC has developed a Strategic Plan (Plan) which sets forth the transportation programs and services to be provided to the residents of the County. The Plan also contains cash flow analysis for the capital program with corresponding analysis projecting the available sources and uses of funds verifying RCTC's financial ability and commitment to deliver current and planned programs and services. The RCTC Plan is based on a set of assumptions developed through detailed data collection and analysis of historical data concerning revenues, economic forecasts and trend projections. The main sources of revenues include sales tax revenues, contributions from other agencies and federal capital assistance grants. The largest sales tax revenue source is the Measure A 1/2 cent transactions and use tax. The revenue generated from Measure A is expended on the projects contained in the Measure A Ordinance. RCTC also intends to earn revenues through the imposition of tolls for the use of selected transportation corridors. Tolls will be imposed and toll revenues expended as allowed under the governing statutes and ordinances. RCTC's Measure A and toll programs are capital intensive. RCTC will issue its debt as needed in order to fund the Measure A and toll programs. RCTC must be able at all times to pay contractors and vendors for work in progress. Therefore, the CFO will work with the applicable RCTC directors to forecast the program construction draw down requirements. Based upon program construction draw down requirements and the conclusions resulting from the Plan, the CFO shall attempt to keep a reasonable amount of bond debt proceeds (approximately 4 months of program construction draw down requirements) available for construction draw down purposes. The CFO with the approval of the Board may increase the size of the Measure A tax-exempt commercial paper program to maintain liquidity in the program construction draw down account. 1 F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC - Revised 10/13/10March 14, 2012 77 I. MANAGING THE COMPETITIVE SALES PROCESS The CFO is responsible for implementing and managing RCTC's competitive bid debt sale process. If the CFO selects a competitive bid process for a sale of debt, the CFO will instruct RCTC's financial advisor to deliver a preliminary official statement and notice of sale to prospective underwriters and buyers that clearly states the location, time and requirements of the bid. After a successful competitive bid, the CFO will instruct RCTC's financial advisor to work closely with the winning underwriter(s) in order to prepare and deliver the final official statement at closing. J. MANAGING THE NEGOTIATED SALES PROCESS The CFO is responsible for implementing and managing RCTC's negotiated debt sale process. Introduction A. RCTC expects its underwriters to participate in a valuable and significant way with respect to the structuring and pricing of each debt issue, sales performance and various other aspects of the financing. B. Underwriters are expected to make themselves available to participate, when requested, in information and other meetings prior to the issuance of debt. C. Underwriters are expected to cooperate fully with the book -running senior manager in a way that provides the maximum benefit to RCTC. D. The book -running senior manager is responsible for communicating RCTC's finance plan and timing to the other managing underwriters in the syndicate. Syndicate Management Process A. Liability 1. Prior to the day of pricing, the book -running senior manager must provide to the CFO a recommended liability assignment for each underwriter in the underwriting syndicate. The CFO will review the recommended assignments and make any necessary adjustments. Upon approval by the CFO, the liability assignments of each underwriter must be incorporated into the Agreement Among Underwriters (AAU) by the book - running senior manager. 2. As a general rule, the liability assignments must not exceed the underwriting ability of the underwriters in the syndicate to whom they are assigned. B. AAU The AAU must include the liability assignments of each managing underwriter, the priority of orders for the purpose of allocation and the takedown designation policy. The book -running senior manager must provide a copy of the AAU to each managing underwriter in the syndicate. Each underwriter in the syndicate must review the terms and conditions set forth in the AAU and return a signed copy of the AAU to the book -running senior manager the day of the pricing. C. Underwriting Gross Spread Components; Fees and Expenses • The management fee, if any, will be distributed to the managing underwriters based upon their relative contribution to the development and implementation of the financing plan. 1 F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC — Revised 10/13/10March 14, 2012 • 78 • • • Proposed takedowns (i.e. sales commissions) for all maturities must be included as part of the proposed pricing terms delivered by the book -running senior manager to RCTC prior to the final pre -pricing discussions. All takedowns are subject to review and approval by the CFO. • The expense component of the underwriting gross spread must be submitted by the book - running senior manager to RCTC's CFO for approval prior to the day of pricing. The CFO reserves the right to review and approve all fees and expenses and to request their substantiation. An estimate of the expense component of the underwriting gross spread must be submitted by the book -running senior manager to the CFO no later than one week prior to the pricing. RCTC expects the book -running senior manager to keep expense items and costs of issuance to an absolute minimum. • In general, RCTC will not reimburse the book -running senior manager for clearance fees except for the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") charge on issues that are registered in book -entry form only. RCTC will not reimburse the book -running senior manager for MSRB, Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and California Public Securities Association expenses. • There will be no consideration of an underwriting risk component of the gross underwriting spread until after the order period closes. At that time, the CFO and the book -running senior manager will review the book of orders and discuss the need, if any, for including an underwriting risk component in the gross underwriter's spread for unsold bonds. There will be no negotiation of the underwriting risk component of the gross underwriter's spread after the CFO has given the verbal award to the book -running senior manager. D. Marketing Plan Once the issue of debt has received its ratings and the credit enhancement, if any, has been determined, the book -running senior manager will provide to the CFO and the financial advisor its plan for marketing the issue. The plan will specify the sectors and specific customer types to which each maturity, group of maturities or type of bonds will be directed. In addition, the marketing plan will specify the efforts of the syndicate in advertising the issue and distributing notice of the issue to the market as a whole and the expected customers. E. Selling Groups The book -running senior manager will discuss with the CFO the advantages and/or disadvantages of using a selling group for the financing. If the CFO decides to use a selling group, the book -running senior manager will provide a list of recommended firms for RCTC's approval at least one week prior to the day of pricing. F. Retention and Takedown Designation Policies • The book -running senior manager will discuss the use of retention with the CFO at least one week prior to the day of pricing. During this discussion, the book -running senior manager will provide to the CFO the proposed retention amounts by maturity for each underwriter in the syndicate. • If the use of retention is advised by the book -running senior manager and agreed upon by the CFO, the book -running senior manager will make retention amounts and maturities available to the underwriters as soon as possible prior to the day of pricing. • Any change in the retention to the managing underwriters must be approved by the CFO prior to its release. • At least one week prior to the day of pricing, the book -running senior manager must provide the CFO a proposed priority of orders for the purpose of allocation and a proposed policy for the designation of takedown on net designated orders. The policy must include a maximum F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC - Revised 10/13/10March 14, 2012 percentage of takedown to be designated to any one firm, as well as a minimum number of firms to be designated on any one net designated order. It is anticipated that each underwriter in the syndicate will be allowed to place net designated orders on all RCTC debt sales. Upon approval by the CFO, the priority of orders and the designation policy must be communicated to the underwriters and included in the preliminary pricing wire. Any changes to the designation policy must be approved by the CFO and communicated to all underwriters in the syndicate and selling group members, if any, RCTC and the financial advisor. G. Pricing Procedures • At least one hour prior to the pre -pricing meeting or conference call (one business day prior to the day of the pricing) the book -running senior manager must deliver to the CFO and the financial advisor the proposed pricing terms. This is to allow for the thorough evaluation of the proposed pricing terms by the CFO. The list of the proposed pricing terms must include principal amounts, coupons, yields, optional redemption prices, and takedowns per maturity. • One day prior to the day of the pricing, the book -running senior manager must initiate a pre - pricing meeting or conference call with the CFO and the financial advisor to discuss the proposed pricing terms, order period, underwriting gross spread components, market conditions and other necessary pricing information. • A draft copy of the preliminary pricing wire must be provided to the CFO upon the completion of the pre -pricing meeting or conference call. Prior to its release, the preliminary pricing wire is subject to the approval of the CFO. The preliminary pricing wire must include, among other things, all pricing terms agreed upon by the CFO and the book -running senior manager during the pre -pricing meeting or conference call. • On the morning of the day of the pricing (and prior to the start of the order period), if the book -running senior manager believes that a change in any of the pricing terms approved at the pre -pricing meeting or on the pre -pricing conference call is required, the book -running senior manager must contact the CFO and the financial advisor to review proposed changes and any suggested changes in light of the current market conditions. Any change in the initial pricing terms must be approved by the CFO and promptly communicated to the underwriters and syndicate and selling group members, if any. • The book -running senior manager must track the receipts of orders broken down by maturity, amount, type and firm. Status reports of the pricing, including total orders received for each maturity, amount, type and firm, may be requested by the CFO and the financial advisor at any time during the order period. The Dalnet "Orders and Allotments by Maturity" report is an acceptable report for these purposes. • The book -running senior manager must receive approval from the CFO before terminating any order period on any maturity before the previously determined close of the order period. • At the close of the order period, the book -running senior manager must provide in writing and in a format acceptable to the CFO and the financial advisor, a listing of the total orders received for each maturity, amount, type and firm, through the end of the order period. At this time the book -running senior manager must also make a concerted effort to provide the CFO and the financial advisor with the true interest cost of the issue. The book -running senior manager must initiate a meeting or conference call with the CFO and the financial advisor to review the book of orders and negotiate any change in pricing terms, prior to the verbal award of the issue to the book -running senior manager as the representative of the underwriters in the syndicate and selling group members, if any. • The CFO may agree to a verbal award of the bonds and sign a bond purchase contract with the book -running senior manager as representative for the underwriters in the syndicate after consultation with and approval from the Board. • A complete set of final quantitative analyses must be provided to the CFO before the CFO signs the bond purchase contract. The quantitative analyses must include, but not 1 F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC — Revised 10/13/1OMarch 14, 2012 80 • necessarily be limited to, a table of sources and uses of funds, a summary of assumptions and results (including significant dates, underwriting gross spread breakdown, ratings, true interest cost, etc.) and any additional tables that include coupons, yields, prices, takedowns, principal amounts and related debt service by maturity. • The book -running senior manager and underwriter's counsel is jointly responsible for coordinating the execution of the bond purchase contract. • The CFO reserves the right to postpone the pricing if the above pricing procedures are not strictly followed. H. Allocation of Bonds The book -running senior manager will be responsible for ensuring that the overall allocation of bonds meets RCTC goals of: (a) obtaining the best price for the issue and (b) providing each underwriting firm involved with bond allocations that are commensurate with the work performed (i.e., the type and amount of orders submitted). The CFO reserves the right to monitor the order taking process and to review and approve bond allocations prior to their release. 1. Post -Sale Support • In accordance with MSRB rules, sales credits designated by an institutional investor must be distributed within 30 days after the delivery of the bonds. • In accordance with MSRB rules, final settlement of the underwriting account and the distribution of any profit to members must be made within 60 days of delivery of the bonds. • The underwriting syndicate agrees to comply with any syndicate rules prohibiting the selling of bonds below the public offering price (less the full takedown) prior to the release of syndicate restrictions. In addition, each managing underwriter in the syndicate agrees to inform the CFO of any non-compliance with such syndicate rules. For seven business days following the release of syndicate restrictions, the managing underwriters in the syndicate agree to inform the CFO of any firm significantly lowering the price of the bonds in the secondary market below market levels. • The book -running senior manager must be prepared to provide the CFO on an ongoing basis for at least seven business days following the release of the syndicate restrictions secondary market price levels, unsold balances, and the level of trading activity of the bonds. • RCTC expects the managing underwriters in the syndicate to provide liquidity in the secondary market for its bonds on an ongoing basis. J. Post -Sale Evaluation RCTC has a policy of acknowledging good performance and building accountability into its relationships with its managing underwriters. RCTC will conduct post -sale evaluations of the underwriting account to ensure that its policies are adhered to and that sales performance is documented. • The book -running senior manager must provide the CFO and the financial advisor with a final pricing book. The final pricing book must include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following information: the time and responsibility schedule; the working group distribution list; a discussion of the market conditions leading up to and during the final pricing; the preliminary and final pricing wires; media coverage; rating agency credit reports; a full set of quantitative analyses; a table identifying takedown and designation dollars by firm; and a table identifying designations on net designated orders. The book -running senior manager's final pricing book must be provided to the CFO and the financial advisor within 60 days of the closing. 1 F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC — Revised 10/13/10March 14, 2012 81 The financial advisor must also provide the CFO with its own final pricing report. The final pricing report must include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following information: a discussion of the market conditions leading up to and during the final pricing; a discussion on the sales process; a pricing comparison of similar credits in California and the national markets and the preliminary and final pricing wires. The financial advisor's final pricing report must be provided to the CFO within 30 days of the pricing. In addition to the book -running senior manager, each underwriter is encouraged to provide the CFO and the financial advisor with a confidential written analysis of the sale of the bonds. K. MANAGING THE SALE OF COMMERCIAL PAPER The CFO is responsible for implementing and managing RCTC's sale of commercial paper. The CFO shall work closely with RCTC's commercial paper dealers to develop a marketing strategy for the initial sale and subsequent frequent rollover of commercial paper amounts and maturities. The marketing strategy for the initial sale and subsequent frequent roll-over of commercial paper amounts and maturities shall take into account the short-term yield curve as well as RCTC's philosophy to have a significant number of diverse commercial paper investors. The CFO may require RCTC's commercial paper dealers to provide quarterly and annual reports detailing the commercial paper average cost, average maturity and a list of commercial paper investors. Subject to the approval of its liquidity and/or letter -of -credit provider, RCTC reserves the right to change the number of commercial paper dealers for the commercial paper program. L. REFUNDING OPPORTUNITIES An advance refunding involves refunding bonds in advance of the bond's first optional redemption date. An advance refunding is an important debt management tool for RCTC. Advance refundings are commonly used to achieve interest cost savings, remove or change burdensome bond covenants or to restructure future debt service payments. Advance refundings are limited by federal tax law and must be used judiciously. RCTC generally will only pursue an advance refunding if the threshold present value savings level (net of all issuance costs and any cash contribution to the refunding) is at least three percent of the par value of the refunded bonds. However, in certain circumstances, the CFO after consultation with and approval by the Board, may agree that lower savings levels may be justified. RCTC's debt management practices anticipate the potential for advance refundings. When RCTC issues debt careful attention is given to pricing considerations that will affect future advance refunding flexibility such as: • Optional redemption provisions and • Coupon characteristics. In addition, it is important to create a refunding defeasance escrow that will produce the greatest savings level. A defeasance escrow is efficient if the yield on the defeasance escrow is as close as possible (i.e., generally ►ess than 100t' of a basis point) to the arbitrage yield on the refunding bonds. The CFO will select the appropriate defeasance securities. M. FIXED RATE VERSUS VARIABLE RATE DEBT 1 F:/USERS/FINANCE/FISCAL PROCEDURES/DEBT POLICIES.DOC — Revised a-0/1-3--48March 14, 2012 • • 82 • • The CFO and the Board recognize that variable rate securities are a useful debt management tool that traditionally have had lower interest rate costs than fixed rate debt. RCTC's current goal is to maintain a debt program which consists of approximately 20% to 25% of variable rate debt (which includes commercial paper but does not include variable rate debt subject to an interest rate swap to a fixed rate) with the remaining 75% to 80% kept as fixed rate debt. RCTC's book -running senior manager, commercial paper dealer and financial advisor shall advise the CFO if the rating agencies and/or institutional investors feel that 20% to 25% of RCTC's debt in the variable rate mode is too large a percentage. N. DERIVATIVES RCTC will continue to explore the use of derivative products as appropriate and in accordance with the Investment Policy and the Swap Policy, provided that the derivative products: • Hedge variable rate debt exposure, • Lower interest rate costs, or • Minimize risks to RCTC. Although RCTC may enter into swap agreements, including fixed to variable rate swap agreements, derivative products for debt shall not be used for the purpose of interest rate speculation. The CFO has the sole responsibility for determining which prospective debt products for new issue debt are derivatives. Derivative products debt instruments may be incorporated into RCTC's debt program only after the CFO has informed the Executive Director and the Commissioners of the purpose and the risks associated with the derivative product debt instruments including but not limited to: • Interest rate risk, • Counterparty credit risks, • Termination risks, and • Tax implications. If appropriate, the CFO, after consultation and approval by the Board, may determine a minimum level of savings required before implementing a derivative product debt instrument. If the Commission authorizes the use of derivative products, the CFO will provide the Commissioners within twenty-four hours with a memo detailing any activity related to the use of derivative products. O. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MARKET DISCLOSURE A trustee has been appointed for the benefit of the Measure A Sales Tax Revenue Bonds. The trustee shall perform all functions and duties required under the terms and conditions set forth in the 1 respective indentures. The CFO will recommend changes as appropriate. In addition to the responsibilities required by the respective indentures, RCTC has a commitment to continuing to disclose material information after the sale of its debt. The CFO is responsible for implementing and managing RCTC's legal and professional commitment to continuing to disclose material information after the sale of its debt.

Trustee statements and other requested documents and information will be provided to the rebate service provider upon request on a prompt basis. The CFO will monitor the arbitrage rebate services to assure compliance with required rebate payments, if any, no later than each 5 year period over the term of the tax exempt debtbends.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is a participant in the WRC MSHCP. The WRC MSHCP, approved in June 2003, is a comprehensive, multi -jurisdictional habitat conservation plan focusing on conservation of species and the associated habitat in Western Riverside County. Among other things, the WRC MSHCP addresses project impact mitigation for proposed improvements to existing routes such as Interstates 10, 15, and 215, and State Routes 60, 71, 74, 79, and 91, as well as coverage of anticipated new transportation projects in the covered area of Western Riverside County for the next 75 years. At its December 14, 2011 meeting, the Commission considered the funding request from the RCA to provide the last increment of Measure A funding to fulfill the Commission's $153 million obligation under the MSHCP. RCA requested that the Commission commit the remaining $24 million to be paid over the next eight years at $3 million per year. This commitment would then complete the Commission's obligation to the MSHCP for its covered activities. At the meeting, the Commission took action to approve the request from the RCA and directed staff to work with the RCA on a MOU to outline this multi -year Agenda Item 9E 90 funding commitment. The Commission directed that the MOU include a provision to review the funding arrangement in two years, and at that time, if the RCA has received a federal loan guarantee related to the MSHCP or its revenues have returned to FY 2004/05 levels, the Commission could consider postponing the balance of its contribution.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past few months, staff has been contacted by the cities of Eastvale, Moreno Valley, and San Jacinto to discuss respective programming requests. Staff recently met with an ad hoc committee, consisting of public works staff of local agencies with projects in the TUMF Regional Arterial program, to review FY 2011/12 programming requests. In 2009, the ad hoc committee agreed to direct all programming requests to construction activities as a means of generating jobs due to the economic downturn. Staff and the ad hoc committee also agreed that new projects should not be added to the TUMF Regional Arterial program until all original projects approved by the Commission in 2004 have been completed. Agenda Item 9F 100 However, because of circumstances occurring during the environmental phase on two TUMF Regional Arterial projects, staff and the ad hoc committee have reconsidered this direction due to the unique circumstances described below. To date, there are 24 project agreements with local agencies committing $78.7 million of TUMF Regional Arterial funds. The balance available for programming in FY 2011/12 is $2.1 million. Below summarizes the FY 2011/12 TUMF Regional Arterial programming requests and recommended actions by the ad hoc committee and staff. City of Eastvale Staff recently met with the cities of Eastvale and Jurupa Valley and the county of Riverside to discuss the status of the I-15/Schleisman Road interchange project. The county of Riverside is the lead agency for the project approval/environmental document (PA&ED) phase and the project specification and estimate phases. Given that this project has experienced challenges at the early stages of its PA&ED phase (e.g. new interstate highway connection, environmental issues, funding, etc.), the cities of Eastvale and Jurupa Valley have expressed interest in removing the -15/Schleisman Road interchange from the TUMF Regional Arterial program and replacing it with a higher priority project that is included in the TUMF Nexus Study, which is the I-15/Limonite Avenue interchange improvement project. The I-15/Limonite Avenue interchange improvement project will not require right of way and can move to construction in a short timeframe. The cities are also requesting that, by adding the I-15/Limonite Avenue interchange project to the TUMF Regional Arterial program, the construction amount identified in the TUMF Nexus Study (approximately $15 million) also is carried over to the program. The request also includes terminating the TUMF agreement between the Commission and the county of Riverside on the I-15/Schleisman Road interchange project and removing it from the TUMF Regional Arterial program. As a result of this action, the agreement balance of $2 million would revert back to the TUMF Regional Arterial programming balance. The county of Riverside and city of Eastvale would be eligible to request programming TUMF Regional Arterial funds for subsequent phases consistent with the TUMF Nexus Study and programming guidelines (e.g. when the project is ready for construction). The county of Riverside is also the lead agency, on behalf of the city of Eastvale, for the I-15/Limonite Avenue interchange project, which is currently in the PA&ED phase. As previously stated, substitutions are not normally allowed in the TUMF Regional Arterial program. However, this is a unique situation in that two new cities have recently incorporated and have prioritized transportation projects to address their most critical needs. The I-15/Schleisman Road interchange project is not the highest priority for these cities and due to the difficulty in delivering the Agenda Item 9F • 101 • I-15/Schleisman Road interchange project, the ad hoc committee concurred that an exception should be made to acknowledge the priorities of these two newly incorporated cities. More importantly, the substitution of the I-15/Schleisman Road interchange project with the I-15/Limonite Avenue interchange project would result in delivering a regional arterial project in a timely manner. The county of Riverside transportation staff also supports this substitution and termination of Agreement No. 06-72-522-00. City of Moreno Valley The city of Moreno Valley has two projects ready for construction this fiscal year. The city has experienced savings in pre -construction phases and is requesting to reprogram the TUMF balances to the construction phase of its respective project. The two projects are: Perris Boulevard - Ironwood Avenue to Manzanita Avenue (balance is approximately $415,000) Perris Boulevard - Cactus Avenue to PVSD Lateral (balance is approximately $1.25 million) After further discussion with the city, it was determined that there are not sufficient TUMF funds available to program construction for both projects. Therefore, the city has requested to fund construction for the Cactus Avenue to PVSD Lateral "B" segment using the pre -construction balances from both projects and additional funds available for programming. With the construction estimate at approximately $5,665,000 this would still leave construction funding short by approximately $4 million. In order to close the $4 million funding shortfall, it is recommended that the FY 2011/12 programming balance of $2.1 million be programmed for the Perris Boulevard, Cactus Avenue to PVSD Lateral "B", widening project. As previously mentioned, by rescinding the I-15/Schleisman Road interchange improvement agreement an additional $2 million will return to the TUMF programming balance for a total of $4 million that can be programmed to the Perris Boulevard project. This recommendation is consistent with the committee's direction to prioritize programming requests for projects ready for construction. City of San Jacinto Staff received a request from the city of San Jacinto regarding the need to substitute a project for the Ramona Expressway, Seventh Street to Cedar Street, extension project. This project is in the PA&ED phase and has significant environmental issues that will be difficult and costly to address. The city is proposing to remove the Seventh Street to Cedar Street extension project from the TUMF Regional Arterial program and replace it with a widening project on Ramona Agenda Item 9F 102 Expressway from Sanderson Avenue to State Street, which is included in the TUMF Nexus Study and has TUMF Zone funds programmed through the Western Riverside Council of Governments. The Sanderson Avenue to State Street project is scheduled for construction later this year. The city is also requesting that the Commission reprogram the balance of funds from the Seventh Street to Cedar Street segment (approx. $1 million) to the Sanderson Avenue to State Street segment for construction and make the project eligible for an additional $4.5 million from future revenues. As previously stated, project substitutions are not normally allowed. The ad hoc committee realizes the environmental issues with the Ramona Expressway extension project may be difficult to overcome. Therefore, staff and the ad hoc committee agreed that an exception should be made so that TUMF Regional Arterial funds can be used on a project that is moving toward construction. Accordingly, staff and the ad hoc committee recommend removing the Ramona Expressway, Seventh Street to Cedar Street, extension project from the TUMF Regional Arterial program, including termination of Agreement No. 06-72-520-00, and replacing it with the Sanderson Avenue to State Street Project. The city of San Jacinto would be eligible to request programming TUMF regional arterial funds for subsequent phases, including the balance from the Seventh Street to Cedar Street segment, consistent with the TUMF Nexus Study and programming guidelines (e.g. when the project is ready for construction). Future Programming Requests With the recommended actions, a significant portion of all available FY 2011/12 TUMF funds will be programmed. Staff will report the TUMF FY 2012/13 programming estimate to the ad hoc committee in July and will report future project programming requests and recommendations in fall 2012.

Box 12008 Riverside, California 92502 SUBJECT: TUMF Regional Arterial Program Substitution Project Dear Anne: ;1 The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial program administered by the Commission currently has the proposed new interchange at Schleisman Avenue and Interchange 15 as the top priority project for the Eastvale/Jurupa Valley area and shows it as eligible to receive funds for all phases of the project. The preliminary environmental work done by the County with Caltrans and funded under this program has identified a number of significant impacts that will not only be difficult to mitigate, but also costly to mitigate in the near term. In addition, the design and construction costs for the new interchange are more than we could expect to assemble from TUMF and other fund sources for many years. However, improvements to address traffic congestion and to provide better access to 1-15 from our area is greatly needed to mitigate the impacts from recent development, which is expected to continue in the future. The City of Jurupa Valley suggests a more realistic and effective approach in improving traffic congestion by removing the Schleisman @ 1-15 Interchange project from the TUMF Regional Arterial Program and replacing it with the Limonite @ 1-15 Interchange Improvement project as the top priority for the Eastvale/Jurupa Valley area. The Limonite interchange improvement meets the program criteria as it serves more than one jurisdiction and is an improvement identified on the TUMF Program Network developed and approved by WRCOG. It is an existing interchange. The structure can be widened to add lanes and the ramps can be modified to operate more efficiently without the need for any additional right of way. The costs for these improvements will be far less and more easily funded than a new interchange, especially in these tight economic times. Just as importantly, the environmental impacts for this project will be minimal as it is an existing interchange and the project can be implemented in a reasonable timeframe. 8304 Limonite Avenue, Suite M, Jurupa Valley, CA 92509-5183, (951) 332-6464 www.jurupavalley.org 121 The city recognizes that experienced staff is needed to oversee these projects through all phases from development through construction. The city intends to obtain these services from the County of Riverside Transportation Department. Furthermore, it is recommended that the TUMF Regional Arterial agreement with the County of Riverside for the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase for the Schleisman @ 1-15 interchange project be terminated or rescinded. The City requests the Commission to amend the TUMF Regional Arterial Program to substitute the Limonite @ 1-15 interchange improvement project for the Schleisman @ 1-15 interchange project and to identify it as eligible to request up to $15.8 million (the amount currently identified in the TUMF Nexus Study) for construction of the project when the project is ready to bid assuming adequate TUMF funds are available for programming at that time. Sincerely, Roy Stephenson, P.E. City Engineer Cc: Shirley Medina, RCTC Juan Perez, County of Riverside • 8304 Limonite Avenue, Suite M, Jurupa Valley, CA 92509-5183, (951) 332-6464 www.jurupavalley.org 122 • AGENDA ITEM 9G • • • • RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: March 14, 2012 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Shirley Medina, Programming and Planning Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Proposition 1B State -Local Partnership Program - Formula Program Project Recommendations BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve programming State -Local Partnership Program (SLPP) formula funds on the following projects: Perris Valley Line, State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (SR -91 CIP), Interstate 215 Central widening (Scott Road to Nuevo Road), and Foothill Parkway; and 2) Authorize the Executive Director to determine the appropriate programming amount for each project. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, approved by the voters as Proposition 1B on November 7, 2006, authorized $ 1 billion to be deposited in the SLPP account. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) is responsible for administering and allocating these funds over a five-year period between 2009 and 2013. The funds are divided among two programs - competitive and formula. The competitive grant program is a discretionary program, and projects are submitted by local agencies directly to the CTC for selection. For the formula program, the CTC determines a funding share for each eligible applicant with a voter -approved tax or toll that was approved prior to the adoption of the funding. Therefore, the Commission is the eligible applicant for programming SLPP formula funding share in Riverside County. SLPP guidelines require formula funds to be matched on 50-50 basis (match must be Measure A funds) and used for the construction phase only. The Commission previously programmed SLPP funding for the 74/215 interchange project, but subsequently replaced the SLPP funds with federal stimulus funds since bonds were not being sold due to unfavorable market conditions. Over the last couple of years, Proposition 1B bond sales continued to be infrequent and unreliable. Agenda Item 9G 123 Therefore, staff programmed other reliable fund sources, such as federal fund sources, so that projects were not delayed due to the uncertainty of bond sales. CTC guidelines also allowed regions to carryover unprogrammed balances from year to year until the fifth or last year of the program, which is FY 2012/13. To date, the Commission's SLPP programming balance is $42,294,000. In following the Commission's direction to fund construction ready projects that the Commission previously committed to, such as projects identified in the Measure A 10 -year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan (Delivery Plan), Grade Separation program, or Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial program, staff is recommending the following projects for SLPP formula programming: • Perris Valley Line (Measure A); • SR -91 CIP (Measure A); • 1-21 5 Central widening from Scott to Nuevo (Measure A); and • Foothill Parkway (TUMF Regional Arterial). The first three projects have sufficient Measure A funds programmed to meet the match requirements and also meet the project readiness criteria based on the ability to request the construction allocation by the CTC's June 2013 meeting. Foothill Parkway in the city of Corona is a TUMF Regional Arterial project. There are insufficient funds available to fund the project with TUMF Regional Arterial funds; however, the project also qualifies for Western County Measure A Regional Arterial funds. In order to program SLPP funding on the Foothill Parkway project, Measure A funds would be used as match and would replace TUMF funds. Measure A programming for the Foothill Parkway will be brought back to the Commission for approval at a future meeting. Staff will also be meeting with the county of Riverside and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments to review eligible projects for SLPP funds located in the Coachella Valley. In addition, staff will be monitoring other fund sources and programs as they may have an impact on current funding plans, such as the 2012 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and Proposition 1B Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) funds. Therefore, staff is requesting that the Commission approve the above projects for programming and authorize the Executive Director to determine the appropriate programming amount for each project within the next few months as more information becomes available regarding the 2012 STIP adoption estimated to occur by April, and the next cycle of CMIA programming anticipated in June 2012. Staff will report on the SLPP project programming amounts at a future meeting as well as the resulting financial impact regarding the receipt of any SLPP funds.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The intersection of the UP rail line and the BNSF Railway (BNSF) rail line immediately south of Interstate 10, east of South Rancho Avenue and west of South La Cadena Drive in the city of Colton (Colton), is generally referred to as the Colton Crossing. UP, BNSF, and the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) have executed a construction and maintenance agreement to construct a grade separation to elevate the UP mainline tracks and permit trains traveling on the BNSF tracks to pass beneath the UP tracks at the Colton Crossing without conflict of movement. Separate from but related to the Colton Crossing project, UP, BNSF, SANBAG, and Colton executed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the Colton Crossing rail grade separation project. The MOU describes several projects related to rail improvements of interest to Colton and SANBAG. The MOU notes that SANBAG, with the Commission as a partner, is considering widening the 1-215 freeway from the Riverside County line to the 1-10 freeway in order to accommodate an additional lane in each direction (1-215 widening project). The 1-215 widening project requires modifications to structures that accommodate the crossing of rail lines and the freeway, including the segment of UPRIL rail line that Agenda Item 91 133 crosses the 1-21 5 freeway. To reduce the cost of the 1-21 5 widening project, UP agreed to abandon the segment of the UPRIL rail line that crosses the 1-215 freeway if a new connection from the Commission's SJBL and the southern portion of the UPRIL line were built to serve UP's freight customers located along the portion of the UPRIL south of the SJBL. The cost for the removal of the structure over 1-215 will be part of the 1-215 widening project costs. The removal of the tracks and ballast will be performed by UP forces. This agreement defines the terms and conditions for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the new connection track and associated trackwork to tie it into the UPRIL and the SJBL, to include the grade crossing on Marlborough Avenue. Also included in this agreement, the Commission will grant to UP a non- exclusive license over and across the SJBL between UPRIL and Highgrove for the construction and use of the connection and operation of freight rail on the SJBL for freight rail purposes. It is expressly understood that this agreement does not in any way grant or convey any permanent easement, lease, fee, or other interest in the SJBL to UP, but the Commission acknowledges that revocation of UP's right to operate on the project track may require approval by the Surface Transportation Board. The UP license is limited to the SJBL north of the UPRIL, and UP shall have no rights under this Agreement to operate freight rail on the SJBL south of the UPRIL. UP also grants the Commission a non-exclusive license for maintenance over and across the UPRIL. At no cost to the Commission, UP will construct the connection and will be responsible for maintenance of the track and grade crossing surfaces built or installed as part of the project, and UP shall maintain all such improvements that are part of the project at its sole cost until such time as the Commission's contractor commences construction of improvements on the San Jacinto Subdivision for Perris Valley Line service.

RCTC and UPRR are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as "Parties". RECITALS A. The intersection of the UPRR rail line and the BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF") rail line immediately south of Interstate 10, east of South Rancho Avenue and west of South La Cadena Drive in the City of Colton, is generally referred to as the Colton Crossing. UPRR, BNSF, and the San Bernardino Associated Governments ("SANBAG") have executed a construction and maintenance agreement dated June 1, 2011 to construct a grade separation to elevate the UPRR mainline tracks and permit trains traveling on the BNSF tracks to pass beneath the UPRR tracks at the Colton Crossing without conflict of movement (the "Colton Crossing Project"). B. Separate from but related to the Colton Crossing Project, on May 4, 2010, UPRR, BNSF, SANBAG, and the City of Colton ("CITY") executed a Memorandum of Understanding Related to the Colton Crossing Railgrade Separation Project (the "MOU"). The MOU describes several projects related to rail improvements of interest to the CITY and SANBAG. The MOU notes that SANBAG is considering widening the 1-215 freeway from the Riverside County Line to the Interstate 10 freeway in order to accommodate an additional lane in each direction (the "1-215 Widening Project"). The 1-215 Widening Project requires modifications to structures that accommodate the crossing of rail lines and the freeway, including the segment of UPRR's Riverside Industrial Lead rail line that crosses the 1-215 freeway. To reduce the cost of the 1-215 Widening Project, UPRR agreed to abandon the segment of the Riverside Industrial Lead rail line that crosses the 1-215 freeway if a new connection from the RCTC's San Jacinto Subdivision and the southern portion of the Riverside Industrial Lead line were built to serve UPRR's freight customers located along the portion of the Riverside Industrial Lead south of the San Jacinto Subdivision. As used in this Agreement, the term "Project" refers to 1) the new connection track and associated trackwork to tie it into the Riverside Industrial Lead and San Jacinto Subdivision; 2) removal of the diamond located where the Riverside Industrial 17336.00600\7226825 6 Page 1 of 15 135 Lead and San Jacinto Subdivision cross at grade; 3) signal work associated with changes to the grade crossings on Marlborough Avenue. C. UPRR, BNSF, SANBAG, and the CITY formalized their obligations related to the Project in a Funding Agreement Related to the Colton Crossing Rai►grade Separation Project dated October 5, 2011. UPRR and BNSF have executed a haulage agreement dated under which BNSF will operate over the Project track to serve UPRR's customers on the Riverside Industrial Lead located south of the San Jacinto Subdivision. UPRR and BNSF have also executed a trackage rights agreement dated that grants UPRR rights to operate over a portion of the San Jacinto Subdivision in order for UPRR to access the Project tracks. D. RCTC owns in fee the railroad right of way described in the MOU as the San Jacinto Subdivision and commonly referred to as ROTC's San Jacinto Subdivision (the "San Jacinto Subdivision"). The portion of the San Jacinto Subdivision where the Project will be constructed is more specifically described in Exhibit "A". E. On October 30, 1992, RCTC and BNSF's predecessor -in -interest, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company ("Santa Fe") entered into a Shared Use Agreement for the San Jacinto Subdivision ("SUA"), and on March 29, 1993, RCTC and Santa Fe executed a Correction Grant Deed and Grant of Easement for the San Jacinto Subdivision, which Santa Fe and RCTC recorded with the County Recorder for Riverside County. A copy of the SUA is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and a copy of the Correction Grant Deed is attached hereto as Exhibit "C". F. RCTC and BNSF are currently negotiating a proposed Perris Valley Line Agreement ("PVL Agreement"), which will govern operations of commuter service on the San Jacinto Subdivision for RCTC's proposed Perris Valley Line for commuter service from Perris to Riverside on the San Jacinto Subdivision and San Bernardino Subdivision, and which will amend the SUA in certain respects. G. RCTC and UPRR now desire to execute this Agreement to describe the terms and conditions for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project. NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by this reference. 2. License - General Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, RCTC hereby grants to UPRR a non-exclusive license over and Page 2 of 15 • • 17336.00600\7226825.6 136 across the San Jacinto Subdivision between UPRR's Riverside Industrial Lead and Highgrove, as shown in Exhibit "A", for the construction and use of the Project and operation of freight rail on the San Jacinto Subdivision for freight rail purposes (the "UPRR License"). [Why does RCTC need to acknowledge and approve the Recital B agreements?] It is expressly understood that this Agreement does not in any way grant or convey any permanent easement, lease, fee, or other interest in the San Jacinto Subdivision to UPRR, but RCTC acknowledges that revocation of UPRR's right to operate on the Project track may require approval by the Surface Transportation Board ("STB"). Commencement of passenger operations for the Perris Valley Line on the San Jacinto Subdivision will not limit UPRR's rights to use the Project for freight railroad purposes under this Agreement, provided that UPRR complies with all requirements of this Agreement. The UPRR License is limited to the San Jacinto Subdivision north of the Riverside Industrial Lead, and UPRR shall have no rights under this Agreement to operate freight rail on the San Jacinto Subdivision south of the Riverside Industrial Lead. UPRR also grants RCTC a non-exclusive license for maintenance over and across the Riverside Industrial Lead, as set forth in Section 5 herein. 2.1 As a condition for the grant of the license as set forth above, UPRR will obtain a written grant of rights from BNSF for the use of BNSF's Reserve Rail Freight Easement over the San Jacinto Subdivision, wherein BNSF declares that UPRR is and will hereinafter be considered a "Santa Fe Party" as defined in the SUA for purposes of operating freight rail service on the San Jacinto Subdivision between the Riverside Industrial Lead and the end of the San Jacinto Subdivision at Highgrove. 2.2 As a further condition for the grant of the license as set forth above, UPRR will and hereby does assume, and agrees to be bound by, all terms of the SUA and the Reserved Rail Freight Easement in UPRR's operation on the San Jacinto Subdivision, and UPRR will further assume and agrees to bound by all of the terms of any amendments to the SUA that RCTC and BNSF may agree to in the future, all only to the extent that the terms of the SUA and any amendments to it apply to UPRR as a "Santa Fe Party." 3. Use. UPRR may use the San Jacinto Subdivision solely for the purposes set forth in Section 2 above. UPRR will make no other use of the San Jacinto Subdivision without RCTC's prior written approval. 4. Construction of Project. 4.1 At no cost to RCTC, UPRR will construct the Project in a good and workmanlike manner and according to the design, plans, and specifications that have been provided by RCTC and which are attached as Exhibit "D". The scope of work will include all necessary grading and paving; provision of suitable drainage; and removal of trash and debris after construction is completed. UPRR may use its own forces or a contractor to perform the work. UPRR will 17336.00600\7226825.6 Page 3 of 15 137 own all improvements installed as part of the Project that are constructed on UPRR's Riverside Industrial Lead. RCTC will own all improvements installed as part of the Project that are constructed on the San Jacinto Subdivision. UPRR will complete all construction of the Project by December 31, 2012. In the event UPRR does not complete all construction of the Project by this date, then UPRR agrees to pay RCTC for the cost of any resulting delays to RCTC's contractor for the construction of improvements on the San Jacinto Subdivision for the Perris Valley Line, and UPRR agrees to defend and indemnify RCTC against any claim of delay that may be made by RCTC's contractor. 4.2 UPRR will perform all work at times and in a manner to avoid unreasonable interference with the operation of RCTC and its Operator, which is at present Southern California Regional Rail Authority ("SCRRA"), or BNSF trains. For purposes of this Agreement, "Operator"shall have the same meaning as is set forth in Section 1.33 of the SUA. UPRR shall not perform work at any times that would otherwise hinder BNSF from providing "Quality Rail Freight Service", as this term is defined in Section 1.39 of the SUA. The Parties will work together and with BNSF in good faith regarding any requests for work windows during which train operations may be limited. 4.3 UPRR will supervise and inspect the activities of any contractors working under its direction to ensure that all contractor work is done in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. 4.4 Within thirty (30) days after completion of construction, UPRR will provide written notice to BNSF and RCTC of the completion of the Project. Within a reasonable time after UPRR issues the notice of completion, UPRR, RCTC, SCRRA and BNSF will conduct a joint inspection of the Project at a mutually agreeable time. UPRR will resolve all punch list action items needing correction, repair, or replacement within sixty (60) days of the date of the joint inspection or upon such other schedule as agreed in writing among the Parties at the time of inspection. RCTC will issue a certificate of final acceptance within thirty (30) days after the joint inspection or after UPRR has corrected all punch list items, whichever is later. 4.5 UPRR is self -insured for any liability it may incur in relation to construction of the Project, as set forth in the letter attached as Exhibit "E". UPRR will require any contractor that it hires to work on construction of the Project to include RCTC as an indemnified party and additional insured under any insurance that UPRR requires in its contract with the contractor. 4.6 RCTC will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to ask for any UPRR employee or contractor working on construction of the Project to be removed from the San Jacinto Subdivision on the grounds of incompetence, neglect of duty, unsafe conduct, or misconduct. If there is a dispute about such a request, RCTC may order all work to stop work on the Project until the matter has been resolved to RCTC's reasonable satisfaction. Page 4 of 15 • 17336.00600\7226825.6 138 • • • 4.7 RCTC will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to stop construction of the Project if either of the following occur: (i) construction work is performed in a manner contrary to the plans set forth in Exhibit D; or (ii) construction work is performed in a manner that is unreasonably hazardous to the San Jacinto Subdivision or any persons residing in the area of the Project or the safe and timely movement of railroad traffic. The work stoppage will continue until all necessary actions are taken to rectify the situation to the reasonable satisfaction of RCTC. No such work stoppage under this provision will give rise to any liability on the part of RCTC. RCTC's right to stop construction is in addition to any other rights RCTC may have under this Agreement or any other agreement named herein. 5. Maintenance. 5.1 Beginning on the date of the notice of completion described in Section 4.4, UPRR will be responsible for maintenance of the track and grade crossing surfaces built or installed as part of the Project, and UPRR shall maintain all such improvements that are part of the Project at its sole cost until such time as RCTC's contractor commences construction of improvements on the San Jacinto Subdivision for Perris Valley Line service. RCTC shall provide notice to UPRR at such time as RCTC issues its contractor a Notice to Proceed with the construction of improvements on the San Jacinto Subdivision for Perris Valley Line service, and RCTC and its Operator shall assume responsibility for the maintenance of the track and grade crossing surfaces built or installed as part of the Project on both the San Jacinto Subdivision and Riverside Industrial Lead 45 days after RCTC provides such notice to UPRR. UPRR shall reimburse RCTC for all costs of maintenance of the Project at such time as RCTC assumes the maintenance obligations of same. 5.2 UPRR shall grant RCTC and its Operator a non-exclusive license to enter upon the Riverside Industrial Lead for the purpose of maintaining all track and grade crossing facilities that are a part of the Project at such time as RCTC and its Operator are ready to assume maintenance responsibilities for the Project (the "RCTC License"). RCTC and its Operator shall have the right to enter upon the Riverside Industrial Lead pursuant to the RCTC License for the purpose of maintenance upon giving reasonable notice to UPRR. UPRR may terminate this RCTC License only if the UPRR License on the San Jacinto Subdivision is terminated pursuant to this Agreement. 5.3 Beginning on the date of the notice of completion described in Section 4.4, UPRR will pay the incremental cost of maintaining the additional warning devices installed at the Marlborough Avenue grade crossing that are built or installed as part of the Project 5.4 No signals will be installed as part of the Project. At such time when RCTC installs signals to support passenger operations on the San Jacinto Subdivision, RCTC will assume all signal maintenance costs and responsibilities. 17336.00600\7226825.6 Page 5 of 15 139 UPRR will pay the incremental cost, if any, for maintaining signals whose installation are required because of the presence of the Project tracks. 6. Liens. Except as may result from an act or omission of RCTC related to Project, UPRR shall not permit to be placed against the San Jacinto Subdivision , or any part thereof, any design professional's, mechanic's, materialmen's, contractor's, or subcontractor's liens with regard to UPRR's actions upon Rail Corridor. UPRR agrees to hold RCTC harmless for any loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising from any such liens which might be filed against the San Jacinto Subdivision or any portion thereof. 7. Indemnification. Each Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party and its boards, officers, agents, employees, assigns, and successors in interest from and against all fines, claims, lawsuits, judgments, awards, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses, including but not limited to attorney fees (both in-house and outside counsel) and costs (including all actual litigation costs incurred by the indemnified party, including but not limited to costs of experts and consultants) (collectively "Claims") for injury or death to all persons, including a Party's employees and representatives, and for loss or damage to property belonging to any person or entity, including the Parties, occurring by reason of any acts or omissions of the indemnifying Party or others acting in its behalf in connection with activities performed under the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that they may lawfully do so, and as among the Parties only, each Party waives any and all defenses under industrial insurance acts, workers compensation acts, and the California Tort Claims Act to so indemnify the other Party. 8. Compliance with Laws/Permits. UPRR will obtain any permits required for construction of the Project and conduct all of its activities on the Rail Corridor in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. 9. Inspection. RCTC and its representatives, employees, agents, or independent contractors may enter and inspect the Project at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to UPRR to verify UPRR's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 10. Term. This Agreement will commence on the date first written above and continue in effect unless terminated for cause or as otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, UPRR reserves the exclusive right, exercisable at any time without the concurrence of RCTC, to abandon the Project track by giving six months prior written notice to RCTC and applying to secure all necessary governmental authority for such an abandonment. Upon receiving a notice of abandonment from UPRR, RCTC may elect to purchase all or part of the Project trackage on the Riverside Industrial Lead from UPRR at salvage value. If RCTC has not exercised its option to purchase the trackage Riverside Industrial Lead by the date that UPRR receives the necessary governmental authority to abandon the tracks, UPRR may, without Page 6ofl5 • • 17336.00600\7226825.6 140 • • further notice, remove such tracks and dispose of it, provided the UPRR will not remove any trackage that is located on the San Jacinto Subdivision, which tracks will be owned by RCTC. RCTC acknowledges that termination of this Agreement may not terminate UPRR's right to operate over the Project track without an order from the STB authorizing abandonment of freight service on the Project track and that portion of the Riverside Industrial Lead located south of the Project tracks. 11. Miscellaneous. 11.1 Governing Law. Except on subjects preempted by federal law, this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Nothing herein is meant to be or will be interpreted to be a waiver of principles of legal preemption or preclusion that may apply to UPRR because of its status as common carriers regulated by the federal government; provided, however, that UPRR will not in any way use such status to reduce, alter, or eliminate their contractual obligations provided for in this agreement except as required by law. 11.2 Severability. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under applicable present or future laws, then it is the intention of the parties that the remainder of the Agreement will not be affected but shall remain in full force and effect. 11.3 Relationship of the Parties. Each Party is and will at all times be and remain independent from the other Party and will not be deemed an agent or fiduciary of the other Party.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The SRTPs include plans for the Commission's Regional Commuter Rail Program and provide detailed information about existing services and facilities, financial forecasts and plans, as well as planned and proposed improvements to be implemented. The Commission oversees transit service in Riverside County primarily through the approval of SRTPs that detail the operating and capital costs planned for transit services. Each operator adopts such a plan and then provides data to the Commission on performance. As SRTPs are based upon estimates of future projects, it is necessary to subsequently amend this document upon completion or changes to specified projects and circumstances. The Rail Program is thus requesting amendments to its FY 2007/08 and FY 2011/12 Commuter Rail SRTPs in order to: • Use federal and state grant funds to preserve local funds; • Protect lapsing grant funds; and • Cleanup unused funds through deobligation. Agenda Item 9J 151 FY 2011/12 SRTP Proposed Amendment The Commission maintains a total of $10 million in prior year unobligated federal Section 5309 funds. The Rail Program is now requesting amendment of the Commuter Rail Program's FY 2011/12 SRTP and allocation of these funds to the Commission Commuter Rail State of Good Repair project. The project will facilitate rehabilitation of Commission Commuter Rail assets and facilities in coordination with the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA). This is a multi -year project that will commit funds to systematic improvement of facilities and equipment. This project will include the components of SCRRA's Five -Year Capital and Fleet Plan that calls for the rehabilitation of track, signals, communication, mechanical and layover facilities, and rolling stock (both locomotives and passenger rail cars). In addition, the grant will provide for the Commission's local efforts to improve, expand, and rehabilitate station parking and facilities. As required, the grant will also provide for additional funding for the development of the positive train control network and associated communications throughout Southern California. Due to timing of the federal grant process, it is not likely that any of the funds will be spent in FY 2011/12; therefore future budgets will include planned spending and related reimbursements. Funding SRTP Year From To Amount FTA 5309 FY 2011/12 Prior Year unobligated Funds Commuter Rail State of Good Repair Project $10,000,000 FY 2007/08 SRTP Proposed Amendment The approved FY 2007/08 SRTP included allocation of $500,000 in LTF funds for the Station Capital Improvement Program. This project has concluded with a balance of $123,131 remaining. The Rail Program is requesting approval to deobligate this LTF balance to be used elsewhere by the Rail Program at a future date. As the funds are not budgeted in the current fiscal year, a budget adjustment is not required.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, approved by the voters as Proposition 1B in November 2006, includes a funding program in the amount of $1 billion to be deposited in the Transit System Safety, Security, and Disaster Response Account. Funds are allocated by the state controller directly to the Commission's Rail Program. These funds are to be expended within three years after receipt of funds. The FY 2010/11 appropriation includes $60 million statewide (subject to available bond funding) for the California Transit Security Grant Program - California Transit Assistance Fund (CTSGP- CTAF). These funds are designated to be used for transit capital projects that provide increased protection against a security or safety threat. The CTSGP-CTAF is administered by the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA). Cal EMA requires a resolution appointing individuals to act on behalf of the Commission's Rail Program. This resolution is needed in order to successfully complete the grant submittal process. Resolution No. 12-008 is to appoint the Rail Manager to act on behalf of the Commission for the purpose of applying for and/or accepting grants awarded to the Commission's Rail Program. This item has no direct financial impact.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Back in 2001, the Commission entered into the original master agreement for state funded transit projects with the Caltrans. This agreement allows the Commission the opportunity to use state transit funds for commuter rail and transit projects. The term of the original agreement was 10 years, which expired in December 2011. Staff has been coordinating with Caltrans to establish a new 10 -year agreement that will be valid from January 1, 2012, to January 1, 2022. Caltrans provided draft language for the resolution and an updated master agreement. In order to comply with its requirements, staff modified the attached Resolution 12-007, "Authorization to Execute a Master Agreement and Program Supplements for State - Funded Transit Projects" and seeks Commission approval for this resolution. This along with approval of the master agreement will allow the Commission to continue to use state transit funds. The next major project requiring state transit funds will be the Perris Valley Line that will be requesting state funds for construction in the near future. This master agreement is required in order to receive funding.

ARTICLE I - PROJECT ADMINISTRATION Section 1. Program Supplement A. General (1) This AGREEMENT shall have no force and effect with respect to any PROJECT unless and until a separate PROJECT specific "PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT — STATE FUNDED TRANSIT PROJECT(S)," hereinafter referred to as "PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT," adopting all of the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT has been fully executed by both STATE and RECIPIENT. (2) RECIPIENT agrees to complete each defined PROJECT, or the identified PROJECT Phase/Component thereof, described in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT adopting all of the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. (3) A financial commitment of actual PROJECT funds will only occur in each detailed and separate PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. No funds are obligated by the prior execution of this AGREEMENT alone. (4) RECIPIENT further agrees, as a condition to the release and payment of the funds encumbered for the PROJECT described in each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, to comply with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT and all the agreed -upon Special Covenants and Conditions attached to or made a part of the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT identifying and defining the nature of that specific PROJECT. (5) The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall include: a detailed Scope of Work conforming to the included Project Description, a Project Schedule, an Overall Funding Plan, and a Project Financial Plan as required by the applicable Program Guidelines. a. The Scope of Work shall include a detailed description of the PROJECT and will itemize the major tasks and their estimated costs. b. The Project Schedule shall include major tasks and/or milestones and their associated beginning and ending dates and duration. c. The Overall Funding Plan shall itemize the various PROJECT Components, the committed funding program(s) or source(s), and the matching funds to be provided by RECIPIENT and/or other funding sources, if any [these Components include Environmental and Permits; Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E); Right -of - Way (ROW); and Construction (including transit vehicle acquisition)]. d. The Project Financial Plan shall identify estimated expenditures for each PROJECT Component by funding source. (6) Adoption and execution of the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT by RECIPIENT and STATE, incorporating the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT into the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT as though fully set forth therein, shall be sufficient to bind RECIPIENT to these terms and conditions when performing the PROJECT. Unless otherwise expressly delegated to a third -party in a resolution by RECIPIENT's governing body, which delegation must be expressly assented to and concurred in by STATE, the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall be managed by RECIPIENT. The estimated cost and scope of each PROJECT will be as described in the applicable PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. STATE funding participation for each PROJECT is limited to those amounts actually encumbered by STATE as evidenced in that applicable PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. A contract awarded by RECIPIENT for PROJECT work in an amount in excess of said approved estimate or the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT funding limit may exceed any said PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT cost estimate and the limits of STATE's participation provided: (7) a. RECIPIENT provides the necessary additional funding, or b. A cost increase in STATE's share of PROJECT funding is first requested by RECIPIENT (before the cost overrun occurs) and that increase is approved by • 165 • • STATE in the form of an Allocation Letter comprising the encumbrance document for that increased STATE funding level. (8) State programmed fund amounts may be increased to cover PROJECT cost increases only if: a. Such funds are available; b. STATE concurs with that proposed increase; and c. STATE issues an approved Allocation Letter, Fund Shift Letter, or a Time Extension Letter with additional funding as stated in an executed amendment to that PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. (9) When additional State programmed funds are not available, RECIPIENT agrees that reimbursements of invoiced PROJECT costs paid to RECIPIENT will be limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts already approved in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT containing the STATE approved encumbrance documents and that any increases in PROJECT costs above that STATE supported funding level must be defrayed by RECIPIENT with non -State funds. (10) For each approved PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, RECIPIENT agrees to contribute at least the statutorily or other required local contribution of appropriate matching funds (other than State funds) if any matching funds are specified within the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, or any attachment thereto, toward the actual cost of the PROJECT or the amount, if any, specified in an executed SB 2800 (Streets and Highways Code section 164.53) Agreement for local match fund credit, whichever is greater. RECIPIENT shall contribute not less than the required match amount toward the cost of the PROJECT in accordance with a schedule of payments as shown in a Project Financial Plan prepared by RECIPIENT as part of a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. (11) Upon the stated expiration date of this AGREEMENT, any PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTS executed under this AGREEMENT for a PROJECT with work yet to be completed pursuant to the approved Project Schedule shall be deemed to extend the term of this AGREEMENT only to conform to the specific PROJECT termination or completion date contemplated by the applicable PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT to allow that uncompleted PROJECT to be administered under the extended terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. B. Project Overrun (1) If RECIPIENT and STATE determine, at any time during the performance of a PROJECT, that the PROJECT budget may be exceeded, RECIPIENT shall take the following steps: a. Notify the designated STATE representative of the nature and projected extent of the overrun and, within a reasonable period thereafter, identify and quantify 166 potential cost savings or other measures which RECIPIENT will institute to bring the Project Budget into balance; and b. Schedule the projected overrun for discussion at the next Quarterly Review meeting; and c. Identify the source of additional RECIPIENT or other third party funds that can be made available to complete PROJECT. C. Scope of Work (1) RECIPIENT shall be responsible for complete performance of the work described in the approved PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT for the PROJECT related to the commitment of encumbered funds. All work shall be accomplished in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Public Utilities Code, the Streets and Highways Code, the Government Code, and other applicable statutes and regulations. (2) RECIPIENT acknowledges and agrees that RECIPIENT is the sole control and manager of each PROJECT and its subsequent employment, operation, repair and maintenance for the benefit of the public. RECIPIENT shall be solely responsible for complying with the funding and use restrictions established by (a) the statutes from which these funds are derived, (b) the California Transportation Commission (CTC), (c) the State Treasurer, (d) the Internal Revenue Service, (e) the applicable PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, and (f) this AGREEMENT. D. Program Supplement Amendments PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT amendments will be required whenever there are CTC-approved changes to the cost, scope of work, or delivery schedule of a PROJECT from those specified in the original PROJECT Application and the original PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. Those changes shall be mutually binding upon the Parties only following the execution of a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT amendment. Section 2. Allowable Costs and Payments A. Allowable Costs and Progress Payment Vouchers (1) Not more frequently than once a month, but at least quarterly, RECIPIENT will prepare and submit to STATE (directed to the attention of the appropriate State District Transit Representative) signed Progress Payment Vouchers for actual PROJECT costs incurred and paid for by RECIPIENT consistent with the Scope of Work document in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT and STATE shall pay those uncontested allowable costs once the voucher is approved. If no costs were incurred during any given quarter, RECIPIENT is exempt from submitting a signed Progress Payment Voucher; but is still required to present a progress report at each Quarterly Review. • • 167 • (2) STATE shall not be required to reimburse more funds, cumulatively, per quarter of any fiscal year greater than the sums identified and included in the PROJECT Financial Plan. However, accelerated reimbursement of PROJECT funds in excess of the amounts indicated in the Project Financial Plan, cumulatively by fiscal year, may be allowed at the sole discretion of STATE if such funds are available for encumbrance to fulfill that need. (3) Each such voucher will report the total of PROJECT expenditures from all sources (including those of RECIPIENT and third parties) and will specify the percent of State reimbursement requested and the fund source. The voucher should also summarize State money requested by PROJECT component (environmental and permits, plans specifications, and estimates (PS&E); right of way; construction; rolling stock; or --if bond funded --private activity usage) and phase, and shall be accompanied by a report describing the overall work status and progress on PROJECT tasks. If applicable, the first voucher shall also be accompanied by a report describing any tasks specified in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT which were accomplished prior to the Effective Date of this AGREEMENT or the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT with costs to be credited toward any required local contribution described in Article II, Section 1 of this Agreement (but only if expended pursuant to any applicable prior executed Agreement for Local Match Fund Credit between RECIPIENT and STATE). (4) An Indirect Cost Rate Proposal and/or Central Service Cost Allocation plan and related documentation approved under cognizant agency regulations are to be provided to STATE (Caltrans Audits & Investigations) annually for their review, and approval and filing prior to ADMINISTERING AGENCY seeking reimbursement of indirect costs incurred within each fiscal year being claimed for reimbursement. B. Advance Payments (TCR Projects Only) Advance reimbursements or payments by STATE are not allowed except in the case of TCR funded Projects, and only then when expressly authorized by the CTC. In order to receive a CTC approved TCR payment advance, RECIPIENT must provide duplicate signed invoices to STATE requesting payment of that authorized advance. For TCR Projects approved for advanced payment allocation by the CTC, said advance payment shall be deposited by RECIPIENT in an interest bearing account held by institutions with long-term credit ratings of "AA" or better from at least two nationally recognized credit rating agencies, or in instruments issued by and secured by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government or by an agency of the U.S. Government. No TCR interest earnings may be spent on the PROJECT. Interest earned shall be recorded and documented from the time the TCR funds are first deposited in RECIPIENT's account until all the approved TCR advance funds have been expended or returned to STATE together with all accrued interest. Interest earned shall be reported to STATE's Project Coordinator on an annual basis and upon the final PROJECT 168 payment when interest earnings, overpayments, and unexpended advanced TCR funds shall be returned to STATE no later than thirty (30) days after PROJECT completion or termination of the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, whichever is first in time. (4) Advanced funds are to be expended only as indicated in the approved TCR Application. RECIPIENT must be able to document the expenditures/disbursement of funds advanced to only pay for actual allowable PROJECT costs incurred. (5) Except as expressly allowed hereinbelow, non-TCR funds and TCR project funds not authorized for advance payment can only be released by STATE as reimbursement of actual allowable PROJECT costs already incurred and paid for by RECIPIENT no earlier than the effective date of this AGREEMENT and not incurred beyond the AGREEMENT/PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT Termination Date. (6) Where advance payments are authorized in a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, RECIPIENT must report and document the expenditure/disbursement of funds advanced to pay for actual eligible PROJECT costs incurred, at least quarterly, using a Progress Payment Voucher to be approved by STATE's District Project Administrator. C. Expedited Payments Should RECIPIENT have a valid Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for "Expedited Payment" on file with STATE's Accounting Service Center, RECIPIENT will, not more frequently than as authorized by that MOU, prepare and submit to STATE an Expedited Payment Invoice for reimbursements that are consistent with that MOU, this AGREEMENT, and the applicable PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. Expedited Payments are subject to policies established in the Caltrans Accounting Manual. One time payments and final payments eligible for expedited pay pursuant to this Section will have ten percent (10%) of each invoice amount withheld until PROJECT completion and STATE has evaluated RECIPIENT's performance and made a determination that all requirements assumed under this AGREEMENT and the relevant PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT have been satisfactorily fulfilled by RECIPIENT. D. Advance Expenditure of Local Funds Government Code section 14529.17 (AB 872) allows public agencies to expend their own funds on certain programmed projects prior to the OTC's allocation of funds, and, upon receipt of CTC approval, to then seek reimbursement for those allowable prior expenditures following execution of a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT wherein STATE acknowledges and accepts those statutorily authorized prior expenditures as a credit towards a required RECIPIENT match, (if any) or as eligible PROJECT expenditures for reimbursement. E. Travel Reimbursement Payments to RECIPIENT for PROJECT related travel and subsistence expenses of RECIPIENT forces and its subcontractors claimed for reimbursement or applied as local match credit shall not exceed rates authorized to be paid rank and file State employees under current • 169 • • • State Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) rules. If the rates invoiced by RECIPIENT are in excess of those authorized DPA rates, then RECIPIENT is responsible for the cost difference, and any overpayments inadvertently paid by STATE shall be reimbursed to STATE by RECIPIENT on demand. F. Final Invoice The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT Termination Date refers to the last date for RECIPIENT to incur valid PROJECT costs or credits and is the date that the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT expires. RECIPIENT has one hundred and eighty (180) days after that Termination Date to make already incurred final allowable payments to PROJECT contractors or vendors, prepare the PROJECT Closeout Report, and submit the final invoice to STATE for reimbursement of allowable PROJECT costs before those remaining State funds are unencumbered and those funds are reverted as no longer available to pay any PROJECT costs. RECIPIENT expressly waives any right to allowable reimbursements from STATE pursuant to this AGREEMENT for costs incurred after that termination date and for costs invoiced to RECIPIENT for payment after that one hundred and eightieth (180`h) day following the PROJECT Termination Date. ARTICLE II — GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1. Funding A. Local Match Funds Subparagraphs "(1) and (2)" within this Section 1.A. apply only to those PROJECTS where the PROJECT funding is programmed to require a local match. (See individual Program Guidelines for specific funding requirements). (1) Except where specifically allowed by the applicable PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, reimbursement of and credits for local matching funds will be made or allowed only for work performed after the Effective Date of a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT and prior to the Termination Date unless permitted as local match PROJECT expenditures made prior to the effective date of the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT pursuant to Government Code section 14529.17 or by an executed SB 2800 Agreement for Local Match Fund Credit. (2) RECIPIENT agrees to contribute at least the statutorily or other required local contribution of matching funds (other than State or federal funds), if any is specified within the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT or any attachment thereto, toward the actual cost of the PROJECT or the amount, if any, specified in any executed SB 2800 (Streets and Highways Code Section 164.53) Agreement for local match fund credit, whichever is greater. RECIPIENT shall contribute not less than its required match amount toward the PROJECT cost in accordance with a schedule of payments as shown in the Project Financial Plan prepared by RECIPIENT and approved by STATE as part of a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. 170 B. Funding Contingencies Delivery by STATE of all funds encumbered to reimburse allowable PROJECT costs pursuant to this AGREEMENT is contingent upon prior budget action by the Legislature, fund allocation by the CTC or the United States Department of Transportation, and submittal by RECIPIENT and approval by STATE of all PROJECT documentation, including, without limitation, that required by Government Code section 14085. In the event of the imposition of additional conditions, delays, or a cancellation or reduction in funding, as approved by the Legislature, the CTC or the United States Department of Transportation, RECIPIENT shall be excused from meeting the time and expenditure constraints set forth in the Project Financial Plan and the Project Schedule to the extent of such delay, cancellation or reduction and the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT will be amended to reflect the resultant necessary changes in PROJECT funding, scope, or scheduling. C. Funds Movement RECIPIENT shall not make any proposed changes in any of the four PROJECT expenditure Components (Environmental and Permits, PS&E, Right -of -Way and Construction (including major equipment acquisitions) without prior written STATE approval. STATE will also determine whether those proposed changes are significant enough to warrant CTC review. Specific rules and guidelines regarding this process may be detailed in the applicable CTC Resolutions, including, but not limited to, numbers G-06-04 and G-06-20 or their successors. Section 2. Audits and Reports A. Cost Principles (1) RECIPIENT agrees to comply with Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations 225 (2 CFR 225) Cost Principles for State and Local Government, and 49 CFR, Part 18, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. (2) RECIPIENT agrees, and will assure that its contractors and subcontractors will be obligated to agree, that (a) Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, 48 CFR, Federal Acquisition Regulations System, Chapter 1, Part 31, et seq., shall be used to determine the allowability of individual Project cost items and (b) those parties shall comply with Federal administrative procedures in accordance with 49 CFR, Part 18, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. Every sub -recipient receiving PROJECT funds as a contractor or sub -contractor under this AGREEMENT shall comply with Federal administrative procedures in accordance with 49 CFR, Part 18, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. (3) Any PROJECT costs for which RECIPIENT has received payment or credit that are determined by subsequent audit to be unallowable under 2 CFR 225, Chapter 1, Part 31 or 49 CFR, Part 18, are subject to repayment by RECIPIENT to STATE. Should • 171 • • • RECIPIENT fail to reimburse moneys due STATE within thirty (30) days of demand, or within such other period as may be agreed in writing between the Parties hereto, STATE is authorized to intercept and withhold future payments due RECIPIENT from STATE or any third -party source, including but not limited to, the State Treasurer, the State Controller and the CTC. B. Record Retention (1) RECIPIENT agrees, and will assure that its contractors and subcontractors shall establish and maintain an accounting system and records that properly accumulate and segregate incurred PROJECT costs and matching funds by line item for the PROJECT. The accounting system of RECIPIENT, its contractors and all subcontractors shall conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), enable the determination of incurred costs at interim points of completion, and provide support for reimbursement payment vouchers or invoices. All accounting records and other supporting papers of RECIPIENT, its contractors and subcontractors connected with PROJECT performance under this AGREEMENT and each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall be maintained for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of final payment to RECIPIENT under a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT and shall be held open to inspection, copying, and audit by representatives of STATE, the California State Auditor, and auditors representing the federal government. Copies thereof will be furnished by RECIPIENT, its contractors, and subcontractors upon receipt of any request made by STATE or its agents. In conducting an audit of the costs and match credits claimed under this AGREEMENT, STATE will rely to the maximum extent possible on any prior audit of RECIPIENT pursuant to the provisions of federal and State law. In the absence of such an audit, any acceptable audit work performed by RECIPIENT's external and internal auditors may be relied upon and used by STATE when planning and conducting additional audits. (2) For the purpose of determining compliance with Title 21, California Code of Regulations, Section 2500 et seq., when applicable, and other matters connected with the performance of RECIPIENT's contracts with third parties pursuant to Government Code section 8546.7, RECIPIENT, RECIPIENT's contractors and subcontractors and STATE shall each maintain and make available for inspection all books, documents, papers, accounting records, and other evidence pertaining to the performance of such contracts, including, but not limited to, the costs of administering those various contracts. All of the above referenced parties shall make such AGREEMENT and PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT materials available at their respective offices at all reasonable times during the entire PROJECT period and for three (3) years from the date of final payment to RECIPIENT under any PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. STATE, the California State Auditor, or any duly authorized representative of STATE or the United States Department of Transportation, shall each have access to any books, records, and documents that are pertinent to a PROJECT for audits, examinations, excerpts, and transactions, and RECIPIENT shall furnish copies thereof if requested. 172 (3) RECIPIENT, its contractors and subcontractors will permit access to all records of employment, employment advertisements, employment application forms, and other pertinent data and records by the State Fair Employment Practices and Housing Commission, or any other agency of the State of California designated by STATE, for the purpose of any investigation to ascertain compliance with this AGREEMENT. C. Quarterly Review (1) Subject to the discretion of STATE, RECIPIENT and STATE agree to conduct, on a quarterly basis, on -site reviews of all aspects of the progress of each PROJECT. RECIPIENT agrees, during each quarterly progress review, to inform STATE regarding: a. Whether the PROJECT is proceeding on schedule and within budget; b. Any requested changes to the Project Description, Scope of Work, Project Schedule, Overall Funding Plan, or Project Financial Plan contained in a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT; c. Major construction accomplishments during the quarter; d. Any actual or anticipated problems which could lead to delays in schedule, increased costs or other difficulties; e. The status of the PROJECT budget; and f. The status of critical elements of PROJECT. (2) Quarterly reviews of RECIPIENT progress will include consideration of whether reported implementation activities are within the scope of the PROJECT PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT and in compliance with State laws, regulations, and administrative requirements. Section 3. Special Requirements A. California Transportation Commission (CTC) Resolutions (1) RECIPIENT shall adhere to applicable CTC policies on "Timely Use of Funds" as stated in Resolution G-06-04, adopted April 26, 2006, addressing the expenditure and reimbursement of TCR funds; and Resolution G-09-11, adopted October 14, 2009, to provide guidance for the use of Proposition 116 and STIP funds. These resolutions, and/or successor resolutions in place at the time a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT is executed, shall be applicable to all Prop 116, STIP and TCR funds, respectively. (2) RECIPIENT shall be bound to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT; the PROJECT application contained in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT (as applicable); and CTC Resolutions G-06-04, G-09-11 and/or their respective successors in place at the time the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT is signed (as applicable) and all restrictions, rights, duties and obligations established therein on behalf of STATE and CTC shall accrue to the benefit of the CTC and shall thereafter be subject to any necessary • 173 • • enforcement action by CTC or STATE. All terms and conditions stated in the aforesaid CTC Resolutions and CTC-approved Guidelines in place at the time the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT is signed (if applicable) shall also be considered to be binding provisions of this AGREEMENT. (3) RECIPIENT shall conform to any and all permit and mitigation duties associated with PROJECT as well as all environmental obligations established in CTC Resolution G- 91-2 and/or its successors in place at the time a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT is signed, as applicable, at the expense of RECIPIENT and/or the responsible party and without any further financial contributions or obligations on the part of STATE unless a separate PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT expressly provides funding for the specific purpose of hazardous materials remediation. B. RECIPIENT Resolution (1) RECIPIENT has executed this AGREEMENT pursuant to the authorizing RECIPIENT resolution, attached as Attachment II to this AGREEMENT, which empowers RECIPIENT to enter into this AGREEMENT and which may also empower RECIPIENT to enter into all subsequent PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTS adopting the provisions of this AGREEMENT. (2) If RECIPIENT or STATE determines that a separate Resolution is needed for each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, RECIPIENT will provide information as to who the authorized designee is to act on behalf of the RECIPIENT to bind RECIPIENT with regard to the terms and conditions of any said PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT or amendment and will provide a copy of that additional Resolution to STATE with the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT or any amendment to that document. C. Termination (1) STATE reserves the right to terminate funding for any PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT upon written notice to RECIPIENT in the event that RECIPIENT fails to proceed with PROJECT work in accordance with the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, the bonding requirements, if applicable, or otherwise violates the conditions of this AGREEMENT and/or the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT or the funding allocation such that substantial performance is significantly endangered. (2) No such termination shall become effective if, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Notice of Termination, RECIPIENT either cures the default involved or, if not reasonably susceptible of cure within said thirty (30) -day period, RECIPIENT proceeds thereafter to complete the cure in a manner and time line acceptable to STATE. Any such termination shall be accomplished by delivery to RECIPIENT of a Notice of Termination, which notice shall become effective not less than thirty (30) days after receipt, specifying the reason for the termination, the extent to which funding of work under this AGREEMENT is terminated and the date upon which such termination becomes effective, if beyond thirty (30) days after receipt. During the (3) period before the effective termination date, RECIPIENT and STATE shall meet to attempt to resolve any dispute. Following a fund encumbrance made pursuant to a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, if RECIPIENT fails to expend TCR/GENERAL FUND monies by June 30 of any applicable Fiscal Year that those funds would revert, those funds will be deemed withdrawn and will no longer be available to reimburse PROJECT work unless those funds are specifically made available beyond the end of that Fiscal Year through re - appropriation or other equivalent action of the Legislature and written notice of that action is provided to RECIPIENT by STATE. (4) In the event STATE terminates a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT for convenience and not for a default on the part of RECIPIENT as is contemplated in C (1) and (2) above of this Section 3, RECIPIENT shall be reimbursed its authorized costs up to STATE's proportionate and maximum share of allowable PROJECT costs incurred to the date of RECIPIENT's receipt of that notice of termination, including any unavoidable costs reasonably and necessarily incurred up to and following that termination date by RECIPIENT to effect such termination following receipt of that termination notice. D. Third Party Contracting (1) RECIPIENT shall not award a construction contract over $10,000 or other contracts over $25,000 [excluding professional service contracts of the type which are required to be procured in accordance with Government Code Sections 4525 (d), (e) and (f)] on the basis of a noncompetitive negotiation for work to be performed under this AGREEMENT without the prior written approval of STATE. Contracts awarded by RECIPIENT, if intended as local match credit, must meet the requirements set forth in this AGREEMENT regarding local match funds. (2) Any subcontract entered into by RECIPIENT as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain the provisions of ARTICLE II — GENERAL PROVISIONS, Section 2. Audits and Reports and shall mandate that travel and per diem reimbursements and third -party contract reimbursements to subcontractors will be allowable as PROJECT costs only after those costs are incurred and paid for by the subcontractors. (3) To be eligible for local match credit, RECIPIENT must ensure that local match funds used for the PROJECT meet the General Provisions requirements outlined in this ARTICLE II in the same manner as required of all other PROJECT expenditures. (4) In addition to the above, the preaward requirements of third party contractor/consultants with local transit agencies should be consistent with Local Program Procedures (LPP-00-05). • • • 175 • • E. Change in Funds and Terms/Amendrnents This AGREEMENT and the resultant PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTS may be modified, altered, or revised only with the joint written consent of RECIPIENT and STATE. F. Project Ownership (1) Unless expressly provided to the contrary in a PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, subject to the terms and provisions of this AGREEMENT, RECIPIENT, or a designated subrecipient acceptable to STATE, as applicable, shall be the sole owner of all improvements and property included in the PROJECT constructed, installed or acquired by RECIPIENT or subrecipient with funding provided to RECIPIENT under this AGREEMENT. RECIPIENT, or subrecipient, as applicable, is obligated to continue operation and maintenance of the physical aspects of the PROJECT dedicated to the public transportation purposes for which PROJECT was initially approved unless RECIPIENT, or subrecipient, as applicable, ceases ownership of such PROJECT property; ceases to utilize the PROJECT property for the intended public transportation purposes; or sells or transfers title to or control over PROJECT and STATE is refunded the Credits due STATE as provided in paragraph (4) herein below. (2) Should State bond funds be encumbered to fund any part of a PROJECT under this AGREEMENT, then, at STATE's option, before RECIPIENT will be permitted to make any proposed change in use, RECIPIENT shall be required to 'first obtain a determination by Bond Counsel acceptable to the State Treasurer's Office and STATE that a change in the operation, proportion, or scope of PROJECT as originally proposed by RECIPIENT will not adversely affect the tax exempt status of those bonds. (3) PROJECT right-of-way, PROJECT facilities constructed or reconstructed on a PROJECT site and/or PROJECT property (including vehicles and vessels) purchased by RECIPIENT (excluding temporary construction easements and excess property whose proportionate resale proceeds are distributed pursuant to this AGREEMENT) shall remain permanently dedicated to the described public transit use in the same proportion and scope, and to the same extent as mandated in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT and related Bond Fund Certification documents, if applicable, unless STATE agrees otherwise in writing. Vehicles acquired as part of PROJECT, including, but not limited to, buses, vans, rail passenger equipment and ferry vessels, shall be dedicated to that public transportation use for their full economic life cycle, which, for the purpose of this AGREEMENT, will be determined in accordance with standard national transit practices and applicable rules and guidelines, including any extensions of that life cycle achievable by reconstruction, rehabilitation or enhancements. (4) (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4, STATE, or any other STATE - assignee public body acting on behalf of the CTC, shall be entitled to a refund or credit (collectively the Credit), at STATE's sole option, equivalent to the proportionate PROJECT funding participation received by RECIPIENT from STATE if RECIPIENT, or a sub -recipient, as applicable, (i) ceases to utilize PROJECT for the original intended public transportation purposes or (ii) sells or transfers title to or control over PROJECT. If federal funds (meaning only those federal funds received directly by RECIPIENT and not federal funds derived through or from the State) have contributed to the PROJECT, RECIPIENT shall notify both STATE and the original federal source of those funds of the disposition of the PROJECT assets or the intended use of those sale or transfer receipts. (b) STATE shall also be entitled to an acquisition Credit for any future purchase or condemnation of all or portions of PROJECT by STATE or a designated representative or agent of STATE. (c) The Credit due STATE will be determined by the ratio of STATE's funding when measured against the RECIPIENT's funding participation (the Ratio). For purposes of this Section 4, the State's funding participation includes federal funds derived through or from STATE. That Ratio is to be applied to the then present fair market value of PROJECT property acquired or constructed as provided in (d) and (e) below. (d) For Mass Transit vehicles, this Credit [to be deducted from the then remaining equipment value] shall be equivalent to the percentage of the full extendable vehicle economic life cycle remaining, multiplied by the Ratio of funds provided for that equipment acquisition. For real property, this same funding Ratio shall be applied to the then present fair market value, as determined by STATE, of the PROJECT property acquired or improved under this AGREEMENT. (e) Such Credit due STATE as a refund shall not be required if RECIPIENT dedicates the proceeds of such sale or transfer exclusively to a new or replacement STATE approved public transit purpose, which replacement facility or vehicles will then also be subject to the identical use restrictions for that new public purpose and the Credit ratio due STATE should that replacement project or those replacement vehicles cease to be used for that intended described pre -approved public transit purpose. (1) In determining the present fair market value of property for purposes of calculating STATE's Credit under this AGREEMENT, any real property portions of a PROJECT site contributed by RECIPIENT shall not be included. In determining STATE's proportionate funding participation, STATE's contributions to third parties (other than RECIPIENT) shall be included if those contributions are incorporated into the PROJECT. (2) Once STATE has received the Credit as provided for above because RECIPIENT, or a sub -recipient, as applicable, has (a) ceased to utilize the PROJECT for the described intended public transportation purpose(s) for which STATE funding was provided and STATE has not consented to that cessation of services or (b) sold or transferred title to or control over PROJECT to another • 177 • • G. Disputes party (absent STATE approval for the continued transit operation of the PROJECT by that successor party under an assignment of RECIPIENT's duties and obligations), neither RECIPIENT, subrecipient, nor any party to whom RECIPIENT or subrecipient, as applicable, has transferred said title or control shall have any further obligation under this AGREEMENT to continue operation of PROJECT and/or PROJECT facilities for those described public transportation purposes, but may then use PROJECT and/or any of its facilities for any lawful purpose. (3) To the extent that RECIPIENT operates and maintains Intermodal Transfer Stations as any integral part of PROJECT, RECIPIENT shall maintain each station and all its appurtenances, including, but not limited to, restroom facilities, in good condition and repair in accordance with high standards of cleanliness (Public Utilities Code section 99317.8). Upon request of STATE, RECIPIENT shall also authorize State -funded bus services to use those stations and appurtenances without any charge to STATE or the bus operator. This permitted use will include the placement of signs and informational material designed to alert the public to the availability of the State -funded bus service (for the purpose of this paragraph, "State -funded bus service" means any bus service funded pursuant to Public Utilities Code section 99316). (4) Special conditions apply to any y proposed sale or transfer or change of use as respects PROJECT property, facilities or equipment acquired with tax free State bond funds and RECIPIENT shall conform to those restrictions as set forth herein and in said bonds. STATE and RECIPIENT shall deal in good faith and attempt to resolve potential disputes informally. If the dispute persists, RECIPIENT shall submit to the STATE's District Contract Manager or designee a written demand for a decision regarding the disposition of any dispute arising under this agreement. The District Contract Manager shall make a written decision regarding the dispute and will provide it to the fund RECIPIENT. The fund RECIPIENT shall have an opportunity to challenge the District Contract Manager's determination but must make that challenge in writing within ten (10) working days to the Mass Transportation Program Manager or his/her designee. [If the fund RECIPIENT challenge is not made within the ten (10) day period, the District Contract Manager's decision shall become the final decision of the STATE.] STATE and RECIPIENT shall submit written, factual information and supporting data in support their respective positions. The decision of the Mass Transportation Program Manager or his/her designee shall be final, conclusive and binding regarding the dispute, unless RECIPIENT commences an action in court of competent jurisdiction to contest the decision in accordance with Division 3.6 of the California Government Code. H. Hold Harmless and Indemnification • (1) Neither STATE nor any officer or employee thereof shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by RECIPIENT, its agents and contractors under or in connection with any work, authority, or jurisdiction delegated to RECIPIENT under this AGREEMENT or any PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT or as respects environmental clean up obligations or duties of RECIPIENT relative to PROJECT. It is also understood and agreed that, RECIPIENT shall fully defend, indemnify and hold the CTC and STATE and their officers and employees harmless from any liability imposed for injury and damages or environmental obligations or duties arising or created by reason of anything done or imposed by operation of law or assumed by, or omitted to be done by RECIPIENT under or in connection with any work, authority, or jurisdiction delegated to RECIPIENT under this AGREEMENT and all PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTS. (2) RECIPIENT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless STATE, the CTC and the State Treasurer relative to any misuse by RECIPIENT of State funds, PROJECT property, PROJECT generated income or other fiscal acts or omissions of RECIPIENT. I. Labor Code Compliance RECIPIENT shall include in all subcontracts awarded using PROJECT funds, when applicable, a clause that requires each subcontractor to comply with California Labor Code requirements that all workers employed on public works aspects of any project (as defined in California Labor Code §§ 1720-1815) be paid not less than the general prevailing wage rates predetermined by the Department of Industrial Relations as effective the date of Contract award by the RECIPIENT. J. Non -Discrimination (1) In the performance of work under this AGREEMENT, RECIPIENT, its contractor(s) and all subcontractors, shall not unlawfully discriminate, harass or allow harassment against any employee or applicant for employment because of sex, race, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS), mental disability, medical condition (cancer), age, marital status, family and medical care leave, pregnancy leave, and disability leave. RECIPIENT, its contractor(s) and all subcontractors shall ensure that the evaluation and treatment of their employees and applicants for employment are free from such discrimination and harassment. RECIPIENT, its contractor(s) and all subcontractors shall comply with the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Government Code section 12900 et seq.), and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder (California Code of Regulations, Title 2, section 7285 et seq.). The applicable regulations of the Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing Government Code section 12990 (a -f), set forth in Chapter 5 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, are incorporated into this AGREEMENT by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in full. Each of RECIPIENT's contractors and all subcontractors shall give written notice of their obligations under this clause to labor organizations with which they have a collective bargaining or other agreements, as appropriate. • 179 (2) Should federal funds be constituted as part of PROJECT funding or compensation received by RECIPIENT under a separate Contract during the performance of this AGREEMENT, RECIPIENT shall comply with this AGREEMENT and with all federal mandated contract provisions as set forth in that applicable federal funding agreement. (3) RECIPIENT shall include the non-discrimination and compliance provisions of this clause in all contracts and subcontracts to perform work under this AGREEMENT. K. State Fire Marshal Building Standards Code The State Fire Marshal adopts building standards for fire safety and panic prevention. Such regulations pertain to fire protection design and construction, means of egress and adequacy of exits, installation of fire alarms, and fire extinguishment systems for any State-owned or State - occupied buildings per section 13108 of the Health and Safety Code. When applicable, RECIPIENT shall request that the State Fire Marshal review PROJECT PS&E to ensure PROJECT consistency with State fire protection standards. L. Americans with Disabilities Act By signing this Master Agreement, RECIPIENT assures STATE that RECIPIENT shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, as well as all applicable regulations and guidelines issued pursuant to the ADA (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.). M. Access for Persons with Disabilities Disabled access review by the Department of General Services (Division of the State Architect) is required for all publicly funded construction of buildings, structures, sidewalks, curbs and related facilities. RECIPIENT will award no construction contract unless RECIPIENT's plans and specifications for such facilities conform to the provisions of sections 4450 and 4454 of the California Government Code, if applicable. Further requirements and guidance are provided in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. N. Disabled Veterans Program Requirements (1) Should Military and Veterans Code sections 999 et seq. be applicable to RECIPIENT, RECIPIENT will meet, or make good faith efforts to meet, the 3% Disabled Veterans Business Enterprises goals (or RECIPIENT's applicable higher goals) in the award of every contract for PROJECT work to be performed under these this AGREEMENT. (2) RECIPIENT shall have the sole duty and authority under this AGREEMENT and each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT to determine whether these referenced code sections are applicable to RECIPIENT and, if so, whether good faith efforts asserted by those contractors of RECIPIENT were sufficient as outlined in Military and Veterans Code sections 999 et seq. 180 e O. Environmental Process Completion of the PROJECT environmental process ("clearance") by RECIPIENT (and/or STATE if it affects a State facility within the meaning of the applicable statutes) is required prior to requesting PROJECT funds for right-of-way purchase or construction. No State agency may request funds nor shall any State agency, board or commission authorize expenditures of funds for any PROJECT effort, except for feasibility or planning studies, which may have a significant effect on the environment unless such a request is accompanied with all appropriate documentation of compliance with or exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (including, if as appropriate, an environmental impact report, negative declaration, or notice of exemption) under California Public Resources Code section 21080(b) (10), (11), and (12) provides an exemption for a passenger rail project that institutes or increases passenger or commuter services on rail or highway rights -of -way already in use. ARTICLE III — SPECIAL PROVISIONS Section 1. Bond Provisions (Applicable only to State Bond Funding encumbered against a specific Program Supplement). A. General Bond Provisions (1) If RECIPIENT enters into a management contract with a private party (including AMTRAK) for operation of rail, ferry or other transportation services in connection with PROJECT, RECIPIENT will obtain prior approval from Bond Counsel acceptable to STATE that the terms of that management contract meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 97-13 (as supplemented or amended) or any successor thereto (dealing generally with guidelines for when management contracts may be deemed not to create a "private use" of bond -financed property) or are otherwise acceptable. RECIPIENT must also be prepared to certify, upon request of STATE, that the revenues which RECIPIENT (or its manager) will receive directly from the operation of transportation services in connection with PROJECT (but not including any subsidy of the transportation operation from taxes or other outside fund sources) are, for any fiscal year, less than the ordinary and necessary expenses directly attributable to the operation and maintenance of the transportation system (excluding any overhead or administrative costs of RECIPIENT). (2) Except as provided in this Article III, A (1), STATE and RECIPIENT agree that any costs of PROJECT acquired or constructed by RECIPIENT allocable to portions of PROJECT which are subject to any property interests held by a non -governmental person(s) in connection with business activities, such as easements, leases, or fee interests, not generally enjoyed by the public (hereinafter referred to as "Non - Governmentally Used Property" or "NUP") shall require the prior approval of STATE and the State Treasurer, as applicable. If RECIPIENT receives any revenues or profits 181 (3) from any NUP activities allowed pursuant to this Article (whether approved at this time or hereafter approved by STATE), RECIPIENT agrees that such revenues or profits shall be used exclusively for the public transportation services for which PROJECT was initially approved, either for capital improvements or operating costs. If RECIPIENT does not so dedicate those revenues or profits, a proportionate share shall (unless disapproved by Bond Counsel) be paid to STATE equivalent to the Ratio of STATE's percentage of participation in PROJECT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RECIPIENT may be authorized to receive an allocation of bond proceeds for NUP activity, in an amount not to exceed the amount specified in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, if RECIPIENT submits a certified bond certification questionnaire to the STATE, and both the STATE and the State Treasurer approve the private activities contained therein. (4) RECIPIENT shall not loan any portion of bond proceeds funding PROJECT to any private (including nonprofit) person or business. For this purpose, a "loan" includes any arrangement that is the economic equivalent of a loan, regardless of how it is named. (5) Delivery by STATE of any bond funds is contingent on the sale of bonds by the State Treasurer. STATE shall not be held liable for any resulting damage or penalty to RECIPIENT in the event bond sales are delayed, canceled, or downsized or other AGREEMENT funds are restricted, limited or otherwise conditioned by acts of Congress, the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department of Transportation, the Legislature, or the CTC. (6) RECIPIENT shall, for the purposes of any State bond funded right of way acquisition which will become a permanent part of PROJECT (such acquisitions exclude temporary construction easements, property allocated to matching funds, and excess property purchased with State funds whose resale proceeds are returned or credited to STATE), maintain ownership of such PROJECT property for a minimum of twenty years or until the bonds have matured, whichever occurs first, before transferring or selling such property (subject to all refunds or Credits due STATE as provided hereinabove). (7) (8) Where RECIPIENT's PROJECT includes a commuter rail PROJECT within the meaning of Proposition 116, RECIPIENT shall coordinate and share with other public transit operators any rail rights -of -way, common maintenance services and station facilities used for intercity and commuter rail. Intercity and commuter rail services shall be coordinated with each other, with other providers and with freight traffic to provide integrated rail passenger and freight services with minimal conflict. RECIPIENT agrees that all passenger vehicles, rail, and water borne ferry equipment, and all facilities acquired or constructed with Proposition 116 bond funds shall be accessible to persons with physical disabilities, including wheelchair users, at all stops, stations and terminals, whether or not staffed. 182 • (9) NUP shall, for accounting and bookkeeping purposes, first be allocated to funding sources other than the State bond funds. For purposes of making such allocations, the costs attributable to NUP involving a sale, easement, lease or similar arrangement shall be determined on the basis of a fair allocation of value, which may include determinations based upon square meters/feet of the area encumbered by the NUP lease or easement relative to the total area acquired or constructed if all such area is of approximately equal value. (10) NUP will include, but is not limited to, property which is sold (including sales of air and subsurface rights), and property subject to easements, leases or similar rights. A rail right of way will not be treated as NUP solely as a result of a Freight Use Easement retained by the seller of the right of way to RECIPIENT, provided that the sales agreement appropriately excludes the Freight Use Easement from the property or rights being acquired. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Article III to the contrary, RECIPIENT may allocate grant funds to the cost of any NUP if (a) neither RECIPIENT nor any other governmental entity will receive, directly or indirectly, any payments from or on behalf of the non -governmental user of the NUP, or (b) the payment from such user does not exceed the operation and maintenance costs fairly attributable or allocable to the non -governmental use of the NUP. (11) RECIPIENT shall request, in writing, STATE's advance approval if PROJECT funds are to be allocated to any NUP except "incidental use" property described below. If property, the costs of which have previously been allocated to PROJECT funds, is to become NUP before the State bond funds are fully paid or redeemed, then RECIPIENT may allocate the costs of such property to another funding source as provided or obtain STATE's approval that the allocation of the costs of such property to the bond funds may remain. It is anticipated that STATE's approval will be granted if, taking into account the existing and expected uses of the proceeds of the State bonds, STATE determines that the continued tax-exempt status of the State bonds will not be adversely affected and that the use of the property is consistent with PROJECT and its described purpose. (12) For purposes of these fund source allocations, RECIPIENT does not have to consider NUP as including those "incidental uses" of PROJECT (for example, advertising billboards, vending machines, telephones, etc.) which meet the applicable requirements of federal tax regulations (IRS Notice 87-69 or any successor thereto). In general, such Notice requires that the incidental use not be physically separated from the rest of PROJECT and not comprise, in the aggregate, more than 2-1/2% of the total costs of PROJECT. Section 2. TCRP PROJECTS The TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELIEF (TCR) ACT OF 2000 (the "ACT"), was added (in Chapter 4.5, commencing with section 14556) to part 5.3 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code by AB 2928 and SB 406, as amended by SB 1662 and AB 1705. As directed 183 by the ACT and the CTC established Guidelines (as set out in CTC Resolution G-06-04), and as those Guidelines may be amended prior to the execution of a future PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, said Guidelines shall apply to each TCRP funded PROJECT. By this reference, those Guidelines are made an express part of this AGREEMENT and shall apply to each TCRP funded PROJECT. RECIPIENT will cause its specific TCRP mandated Resolution to be attached as part of any TCRP funded PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT as a condition precedent to the acceptance of TCR ACT funds for that PROJECT. Section 3. PROJECT MANAGEMENT (1) STATE's PROJECT administrator for this AGREEMENT shall be the chief of the State Transit Grants Branch of the Division of Mass Transportation. RECIPIENT's General Manager, Executive Director or a Designee as named in writing to STATE following execution of this AGREEMENT shall be the administrator acting for RECIPIENT.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Transportation Demand Management and Measure A While much of the Commission's work is focused on increasing transportation infrastructure and capacity, there is significant value in ensuring that the transportation systems in Riverside County are used efficiently. Rideshare and other commuter -transportation demand management (TDM) programs are a vital tool for Riverside County and the entire Inland Empire region as it significantly decreases the number of vehicles traveling on congested corridors and saves thousands of pounds of pollutants from being emitted into the air each year. The Commission has valued rideshare as a viable element to ensure efficient use of its transportation system. That vision is acknowledged in the extension of the Commission's Commuter Assistance Program (CAP) as a funded element in the 2009 Measure A plan. The CAP efficiently influences driver behavior by fostering a mode -shifting decision at both the employer and commuter levels through employer rideshare services and support, ridematching services, park and ride lots, commuter Agenda Item 9M 188 incentives, and program outreach. In FY 2010/11, the CAP had over 8,879 participants and saved 1.9 million one-way trips from being taken and prevented over 790,000 pounds of emissions from polluting the air. CMAQ Funds The federal CMAQ program was first established in 1991 under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Act to fund transportation projects and programs that improve air quality and reduce congestion. CMAQ funds have continued to be included in subsequent federal transportation authorizations. The Regional Rideshare Program meets CMAQ eligibility requirements and is an excellent candidate for these funds. DISCUSSION: Funding for CAP is primarily provided by Measure A revenues. Staff regularly seeks supplemental funding for CAP to expand the suite of services it offers. Since 2007, a county grant and federal Job Access Reverse Commute funding have been secured to extend the Rideshare Incentives program to Coachella Valley commuters. In addition, various Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee grants have been awarded for TDM-related programs and activities. In FY 2006/07, the Commission approved $820,000 of federal Surface Transportation Program funds to cover the regional rideshare activities for FY 2006/07 through FY 2010/11. Staff recommends programming $2.7 million in federal CMAQ funds for continuation of the Regional Rideshare Program in FY 2012/13 through FY 2017/18 and to authorize staff to program the CMAQ funds for the Regional Rideshare Program in the FTIP.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Edward J. Blakely Center for Sustainable Suburban Development (CSSD) at UCR is requesting to enter into a partnership with the Commission in order to compete for a Community -Based Transportation Planning Grant available through the state of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Commission, as the regional transportation planning agency, would be the primary grant applicant and must certify by resolution the Commission's approval to apply for the grant funds. As detailed in the attached letter from CSSD, the grant, if funded, would use the concepts of new urbanism to produce "waikability" plans for economically disadvantaged and transit challenged neighborhoods in the city of Riverside. During the next few years, the Commission will be making an enhanced investment in public transit with the development of the Perris Valley Line (PVL) Metrolink extension, added Metrolink service on existing lines, and funding of express bus services that will utilize the 91 Express Lanes. Additionally, the proposed Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that will be considered by the Southern California Agenda Item 9N 190 Association of Governments (SCAG) will indicate a need for additional transit service throughout the region. By participating in this effort by UCR, the Commission will gather important information on the interaction of public transit service and pedestrian requirements in economically disadvantaged and transit dependent areas. Partnering with the Blakely Center also provides an excellent opportunity to work with UCR on an important countywide issue that is likely to become more prevalent with the implementation of SB 375 and other efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the past, the Blakely Center has partnered with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and Western Riverside Council of Governments on other planning projects. In terms of the needed match for the grant, the Commission will provide a nominal amount of staff time and other support costs, estimated at $24,000, to support the two-year work effort. The Commission does not intend to provide a direct monetary contribution to the application. Request for Commission Support of County Planning Grant Application The Commission has also been asked by the county of Riverside Planning Department to support a comprehensive planning effort for the Winchester Community. The Planning Department is pursuing a grant of $300,000 with a 10% local match supplied by Supervisor Jeff Stone's office. This planning effort would evaluate and work toward the integration of several multi -modal transportation plans and projects currently underway by the Commission. These plans and projects include the PVL and State Route 79 realignment (both of which are under the Commission's jurisdiction), the updated strategic plan proposed by the Riverside Transit Agency, and the required implementation of SCAG's Regional Blueprint/RTP/Sustainable Communities Strategy. The multimodal projects would be integrated along with the land use elements and provide a comprehensive strategy to accommodate sustainable and multimodal development for the Winchester area plan. With Commission approval of this request, the Executive Director will provide a support letter for the county of Riverside's grant application prior to the April 2 deadline. Although both of these projects will be seeking grant funding from the same program, staff believes that both are worthwhile efforts and will provide a long- term benefit to advancing Commission goals and objectives.

Riverside (CSSD) has a goal to participate in research projects that address both development and sustainability issues in Riverside County. To this end, CSSD is interested in competing for Caltrans CBTP grant funds with the idea of funding a project that will address a pressing transit related need for the local community. As you likely know, Caltrans requires that a regional transportation planning agency be the prime applicant on CBTP grants. CSSD partnered with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments for a past project that explored new models to encourage pedestrian safety and parental support for children to walk to school in the Coachella Valley. CSSD would like to request a grant partnership with the RCTC to make a new CBTP funded project a reality. Working with RCTC, we propose to use the theories surrounding New Urbanism development to work with residents in a defined area of Riverside to produce "walkability plans" that could be incorporated as local public planning policy. New Urbanism is the essence of old urban communities, areas that had integrated land uses, encouraged walking, and where neighbors knew one another because of a strong neighborhood identity. The ideas of New Urbanism have become lost in many urban areas as development policy and personal habits have diverged to a more isolated and auto -centric environment. These "walkability plans" may touch on attracting usable public transit, adding infrastructure such as wider sidewalks and traffic calming, and encouraging local investment to integrate businesses into neighborhoods, etc. It is also CSSD's hope to encourage lasting public participation in developing the plan. We envision that the plan would be developed over a series of meetings with City/County staff and local residents. CSSD hopes to submit the above grant as an environmental justice proposal, highlighting the notions that poorer neighborhoods suffer from a disproportionate amount of obesity, ambient pollution, lack of jobs, lack of social capital, etc., that could be addressed by a New Urbanist guided "walkability plan." 193 MS. ANNE MAYER 2 Working in partnership with RCTC, we propose the following course of action for the proposed CPTP grant: 1. analyze neighborhood infrastructure, common areas (parks, streets, etc.) and social capital (e.g., local powerbrokers, social clubs, schools, etc.); 2. conduct a series of meetings with local officials, municipal staff, and residents of the target area; 3. produce a plan, with a five year timeline for implementation; and 4. put the plan on a public agenda for adoption by the City and/or County. I hope that the above design would be of interest to RCTC in a partnership proposal with CSSD to the Caltrans CBTP program. CSSD is interested in partnering with RCTC staff to submit a joint application. Please let me know of your organization's interest.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Grant and LOI Activities In December 2011, the SR -91 CIP project received a $20 million TIGER grant. The TIGER grant will pay for the U.S. DOT TIFIA subsidy payment that is needed to provide a future TIFIA loan for a portion of needed financing for the $1.3 billion freeway widening between Interstate 15 and the Orange County line. In an attempt to bridge the remaining funding gap, the Commission directed staff to see additional funding through the FY 2011/12 TIFIA process. That TIFIA funding request was submitted to U.S. DOT in December 2011; it is anticipated that invitations to submit a TIFIA loan application will be made in March or April of 2012. The extension of the 91 Express Lanes and freeway widening of the general purpose lanes continues to require significant funding that is anticipated to come Agenda Item 90 197 from the sale of toll revenue bonds and Measure A funds. To supplement this funding, staff is seeking an additional loan through the federal TIFIA program and is requesting Commission approval to submit the SR -91 CIP for FY 2011/12 TIGER Discretionary Grant and TIFIA LOI consideration. While staff is hopeful that the SR -91 CIP project will receive additional grant funding as a result of the December 2011 TIFIA submittal, the Commission should continue to be proactive in submitting a grant and/or LOI for every grant cycle until the funding for the SR -91 CIP is complete. On January 31, the U.S. DOT announced an additional grant cycle and identified March 19, as the last date to submit a grant application and LOI. Staff is again seeking approval to submit a grant and L01 for the SR -91 CIP project. SR -91 CIP Project Details The SR -91 CIP extends the 91 Express Lanes into Riverside County, adds a new lane in each direction of the SR -91, rebuilds seven interchanges, makes needed street and access improvements in the city of Corona and constructs a number of auxiliary lanes at key locations to ease access on and off the freeway especially between the SR -91 and 1-15. FY 2012 TIGER Grant/LOI Details The FY 2011/12 Appropriations Act appropriated $500 million for national infrastructure investments. Funding for the TIGER Discretionary Grants program will be allocated on a competitive basis by U.S. DOT. The process will be highly competitive with no more than $125 million awarded to projects in a single state. This year's grant process allows for up to $175 million of the $500 million to be used to pay the subsidy and administrative costs of TIFIA, a federal credit assistance program. The notice of funding availability was released by U.S. DOT on January 31. While the guidelines allow almost any kind of eligible applicants (state and local governments, tribal governments, transit and port authorities, etc.,) and the project eligibility list covers a broad range of project types and modes, it is clear in the guidelines that U.S. DOT officials are looking to award funds for projects that will have a significant impact on the nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. Additionally, U.S. DOT will consider the extent that projects are ready to proceed with obligation of grant funds when evaluating applications. U.S. DOT Application Process Final grant applications and LOIs are due no later than March 19, 2012. Projects that are eligible for TIGER discretionary grants include capital investments in: Agenda Item 90 • • e 198 • • • 1) Highway or bridge projects; 2) Public transportation projects; 3) Passenger and freight rail projects; and 4) Marine port infrastructure investments. U.S. DOT established a pre -application screening process based on the following threshold requirements: 1) Project is an eligible project; 2) NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) is completed or has been initiated; 3) Project is included in the relevant state, metropolitan, and local planning documents, if applicable; 4) Project is able to obligate funds by September 30, 2013 (Note: U.S. DOT prefers June 30, 2013); and 5) For urbanized areas, a 20% local match must be identified and committed; there is no match requirement for rural areas. Projects can increase their competitiveness by demonstrating significant non-federal contributions in excess of the required local match. Additionally, U.S. DOT will give priority to projects for which federal funding is required to complete an overall financing package; projects can increase their competitiveness by demonstrating significant non-federal contributions. Key Dates for 2012 Grant and LOI Cycle 1) January 31, 2012 - U.S. DOT releases notice of funding availability; 2) February 20, 2012 - Pre -application due; and 3) March 19, 2012 - Grant application and [01 due. Agenda Item 90 199 • AGENDA ITEM 9P • • • • RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: March 14, 2012 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Technical Advisory Committee Tanya Love, Goods Movement Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Grade Separation Priority Update Study for Projects Located on the Alameda Corridor East Riverside County BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE, TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve the Grade Separation Priority Update Study for Riverside County projects located on the Alameda Corridor East (ACE); and 2) Based on study, direct staff to develop a 2012 grade separation funding strategy. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The impact of delays caused by freight trains traveling through Riverside County continues to be one of the area's most pressing transportation concerns. Southern California is the goods movement gateway to the nation because of the area's numerous advantages: deep -water marine ports, highly developed networks of highways and railways, an extensive concentration of warehousing and distribution facilities, and an enormous local consumer market. Congested highways and rail corridors are a barrier to keeping goods moving and the economy growing. Public health is at risk as regional freight activities are a major source of air pollution, which is recognized as responsible for approximately 5,000 premature deaths per year. Goods movement was identified as a component of the Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/SCS is currently being circulated for review and comment. Following the 2008 RTP, SCAG initiated a Comprehensive Regional Goods Movement Plan and Implementation Strategy. The regional goods movement system defined through the implementation strategy was the basis of the goods movement section of the 2012 RTP/SCS. The train Agenda Item 9P 200 assumptions, particularly future growth rates for freight rail assumed in the 2012 Grade Separation Priority Update Study were finalized after discussion and collaboration with SCAG RTP and goods movement technical staff and consultants. As a result, the proposed project list from the 2012 grade separation study, if approved, can be incorporated within SCAG's Goods Movement Plan. There are currently 55 at -grade railroad crossings remaining in Riverside County. These crossings present conflicts between rail and highway traffic and are located on the main lines of either the Union Pacific (UP) or Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroads. In 2008, the Commission ranked the at -grade crossings into five priority tiers based on a set of criteria that included safety, congestion, air quality, noise, adjacent grade separations and local community preferences. At that time, the Commission identified 28 crossings that were ranked in the top two tiers as the highest priority for grade separations. Based on funding availability as well as project deliverability, the 2008 funding strategy update also identified three additional projects - Avenue 52, Avenue 56/Airport Boulevard, and Avenue 66 - as top priority projects. Significant Progress Completing Grade Separations As shown on the table below, significant progress has been made since the 2008 funding strategy was adopted. Two projects - Avenue 48/Dillon Road, and Jurupa Avenue - were completed. Two at -grade crossings were permanently closed - Jane Street and Mountain View Avenue. In addition, $162.7 million in Proposition 1B funds was allocated to 131 goods movement projects - 12 at -grade crossings and one interchange project - in Riverside County through the Trade Corridor Improvement Fund (TCIF) program. Two of those grade separations - Columbia Avenue and Magnolia Avenue - have been completed. Three additional TCIF projects - Auto Center Drive, Iowa Avenue, and the I-215/Van Buren Boulevard interchange project - will start construction within the next three months. It is projected that the remaining seven at -grade crossings (Avenue 52, Avenue 56/Airport Blvd., Clay Street, Magnolia Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Streeter Avenue, and Sunset Avenue) will start construction by August 2013. Grade Separation Jurisdiction TCIF Project (Yes/No) Status Construction Start Date (Projected) Auto Center Corona Yes 4/2012 Avenue 48/Dillon Coachella No Completed Avenue 52 Coachella Yes 7/2013 Avenue 56/Airport Blvd. Riverside County Yes 3/2013 In March 2011, at the city of Riverside's request, the Commission deleted the Third Street grade separation project from the TCIF program.

Given the update of the 2012 RTP/SCS, the pending completion of the at -grade crossings identified above, and the near -term reauthorization of the transportation bill, the consulting firm of InfraConsult LLC was retained through the Commission's on -call goods movement contract to work with local jurisdictions to update the 2008 grade separation funding criteria in order to prioritize the remaining 46 at -grade crossings. 2012 Grade Crossing Prioritization Study The effective and efficient movement of goods is critical to getting people and businesses the products they need in a timely manner. Based on the San Pedro Bay Ports (Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach) container forecast, container traffic is projected to triple to 43.2 million twenty -foot equivalent units (TEUs) by 2035. Based on 2011 data, the ports currently handle 13.5 million TEUs of freight annually. While the growth represents significant economic opportunities to Southern California and the nation, it also presents challenges in terms of improving the region's goods movement infrastructure, as well as air quality issues, safety and impacts to quality of life. The increased freight movement means that rail crossing gates will be down for longer periods of time, further delaying motorists at the rail crossings. In 2035, based on the projected growth of rail traffic, population and employment, the following impacts are anticipated, if railroad crossings are maintained at -grade. • Total vehicle hours of delay at all railroad crossings combined is anticipated to increase six -folds from existing levels; Agenda Item 9P 202 • Total emissions at all railroad crossings combined is anticipated to increase from nine tons/year in 2010 to 53 tons/year; and • Population being impacted by at least 63 dB of noise due to train activity and horn blowing is projected to almost double. Attached for review and approval is a draft report entitled Grade Separation Priority Update Study for Alameda Corridor East. This study builds upon previous studies approved by the Commission. The first study was done in 2001 in partnership with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and the Western Riverside Council of Governments. That study identified long-term needs for grade separation at -grade crossings on railroad mainlines passing through Riverside County. The 2001 study prioritized grade separation needs based on several technical criteria, which were subsequently updated in 2006. The 2012 study used the approved methodology from the 2006 study for the evaluation of updated data. In addition to the original seven factors that were used in 2006, two new criteria were added to the 2012 study. The criterion was confirmed in consultation with technical staff of the affected jurisdictions and approved by Commission's Technical Advisory Committee on January 30, 2012. The original factors used in the 2006 study included: • Safety (accident score rating, combination of frequency and severity); • Existing (2010) daily vehicle delay; • Future (2035) daily vehicle delay; • Emissions (2035); • Residential noise; • Adjacent grade separations; and • Local priority. The following two additional criteria were added to the 2012 study: • Project readiness; and • Isolated location (bonus criteria).

Of the pass -by freight 65 percent passes through by rail and the remaining 35 percent on trucks'. This results in having a train at most rail crossings at least twice an hour. Slow freight trains create delays for vehicles at many of the 55 at -grade crossings in the county, which are owned by private freight operators Union Pacific (UP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), both being Class I railroad. In addition to freight rail traffic, commuter and passenger rail services (Metrolink and Amtrak) share tracks with freight trains, which often result in poor on -time performance due to constrained track capacity. The 2010 Census reported a population of 2.2 million people in Riverside County which is about a 41.7% increase from the 2000 Census report of 1.5 million2. In comparison, the state of California grew at the rate of approximately 10% during the same time period. Within the Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) six county region (Counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial), Riverside County's growth rate for the past ten years (2000-2010) was the highest. One of the major effects of the rapid growth has been the emergence of traffic congestion on roadways many of which formerly operated at free flow, even during peak traffic hours. Long-distance commute patterns have created substantial peak hour congestion and deteriorated air quality, particularly in corridors where topographic barriers limit the number of available. roadways. Freight movement through Southern California is also increasing at a rapid rate. In order to manage this growth, following the 2008 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), SCAG initiated its Comprehensive Regional Goods Movement Plan and Implementation Strategy. The plan incorporates findings and recommendations from completed and ongoing studies, like the Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan (MCGMAP) and SCAG's Port and Modal Elasticity Study Phase II, etc. The regional goods movement system defined through this plan (Comprehensive Regional Goods Movement Plan) will be the basis of the Goods Movement section of the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The draft 2012 RTP/SCS is currently in circulation and is under a formal review and comment period until February 15, 2012. The assumptions for this study was finalized after discussion and collaboration with SCAG RTP and Goods Movement technical staff and consultant, so that the findings from this study and the Goods Movement project recommendation in the 2012 RTP/SCS are in sync. Effective and efficient movement of goods is critical to getting people and businesses the products they need in a timely manner. According to SCAG, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach currently (2011 data) handle 13.5 million twenty -foot equivalent units (TEUs) of freight annually. This quantity is approximately 40 percent of containers entering the United States and is projected to triple to 43.2 1 RCTC: http://www.rctc.orq/downloods/Mobility 21 Goods Move Brochure proof.pdf 22010 Census: http://quickfacts.census.qov/qfd/states/06/06065.html 2/21/2012 InfraConsult 208 million (TEUs) by year 203534. While this growth presents significant economic opportunities to Southern California and the nation, it also presents challenges in terms of improving the region's goods movement highway and rail infrastructure, as well as warehouse/industrial capacity to accommodate anticipated growth. Major investments in infrastructure will be required to provide short and long-term solutions to support moving goods both locally and throughout the country while mitigating associated environmental and community impacts. Figure 1.1: Alameda Corridor BNSF Rail Lines UP Rail Lines E Rai3yards Source: Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority Los Angeles Rail Lines Corridor and ACE Rail Lines. In order to accommodate increasing freight rail traffic leaving the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the Alameda Corridor was constructed and has been operational since April 20025. The Alameda Corridor (see Figure 1.1) is a 20 -mile rail cargo expressway linking the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to the transcontinental rail network near downtown Los Angeles. The corridor is comprised of a series of bridges, underpasses, overpasses and street improvements that separate freight trains from street traffic and passenger trains, facilitating more efficient goods movement. The project's centerpiece is the Mid -Corridor Trench, which carries freight trains in a 10 -mile long and roughly 33 feet deep open trench, which widens to about 50 feet between SR -91 in Carson and 25th Street in Los Angeles. After leaving the Alameda Corridor, the majority of trains travel east, destined to intermodal terminals in the Inland Empire and to other parts of the country. This area, known as the Alameda Corridor East (ACE) passes through the San Gabriel Valley (Los Angeles County), Orange County, San Bernardino County, and Riverside County. Figure 1.2 shows the Alameda In 2001, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), partnering with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), identified long-term needs for grade separation at grade crossings on railroad mainlines passing through Riverside County. The 2001 Study prioritized grade separation needs based on several technical criteria, which were subsequently updated in 2006. This report is a 2012 update of priority evaluation and its results for 46 at -grade rail crossings in the county. The evaluation of rail crossings addresses five mainline freight rail lines in Riverside County6: 3 http://www.scaq.ca.qov/goodsmove/regionalplan.htm 4 San Pedro Bay Ports Container Forecast 5 http://www.acta.orq/projects/projects completed alameda.asp 6 The San Jacinto Branch Line and the spur line off the Union Pacific line do not carry regional rail traffic, and are therefore not included in the analysis '012 InfraConsult 209 • • • Separation Priority U a Alan1E da t. o s t ii. ' 3 t iF`ve ,ie :. • Union Pacific (Los Angeles Subdivision); • Burlington Northern Santa Fe (San Bernardino Subdivision); • Burlington Northern Santa Fe & Union Pacific (Riverside); • Burlington Northern Santa Fe & Union Pacific (San Bernardino Subdivision); and • Union Pacific (Yuma Main). These rail lines accommodate freight service as well as passenger service (Metrolink commuter rail service and Amtrak). Currently about 66 freight trains pass through Riverside County per day, and the number is projected to increase to 137 by 2035. Increase in train volume means that rail crossing gates will be down for longer periods of time, further delaying Riverside County motorists at the rail crossings. In 2035, with the projected growth of rail traffic, population and employment, the following impacts are anticipated, if railroad crossings are maintained at -grade: • Total vehicle hours of delay at all railroad crossings combined is anticipated to increase from 600 hours per day in 2010 to 3,700 hours per day in 2035, which is more than six -folds; • Total emissions at all railroad crossings combined is anticipated to increase from 9 tons per year in 2010 to 53 tons per year in 2035; • Population being impacted by at least 63 dB of noise due to train activity and horn blowing is expected to increase from 811,000 in 2008 to 1,380,000 by 2035; and • At least 25 injury/fatal accident per million vehicles will occur at railroad crossings in the next 10 years, or at least 230 injury/fatal accident per million vehicles will occur with 250 feet of railroad crossings in the next 10 years. Therefore, safety and delay issues at rail crossings are becoming an increasingly important concern. 1.1 Grade Crossing Project Status since 2006 Update This report is the third iteration of Grade Crossing Priority Study since its inception in 2001. In the 2006 update, 62 at -grade crossings were evaluated and prioritized in five priority groups. Since that update, several rail crossing locations were grade separated, closed or have secured monies towards construction through the Proposition 1B Trade Corridors Improvement Funds (TCIF) Program. In 2008, the RCTC Commission adopted a Funding Strategy for grade separation based on the 2006 prioritization with 28 at -grade crossings ranked in the top two tiers as the highest priority for grade separations. Based on funding availability as well as project deliverability, the 2008 Funding Strategy Update' also identified the following three additional projects as high priority projects: • Avenue 52; • Avenue 56/Airport Boulevard; and • Avenue 66.

C:orridc3r- j as t (i iverside County.) Since the 2008 funding strategy was adopted, significant progress has been made in constructing grade separations and the following four projects have been completed: • Avenue 48/Dillon Road; • Columbia Avenue (TCIF Project); • Magnolia Avenue (TCIF Project); and • Jurupa Avenue. The following two at -grade crossings have been permanently closed: • Jane Street; and • Mountain View Avenue. A $162.7 million in Proposition 1B funds was allocated to 138 goods movement projects (12 are at -grade crossings and one interchange project) through the Trade Corridor Improvement Fund (TCIF) Program. Grade separation projects at Columbia Avenue and Magnolia Avenue in the City of Riverside have been completed. Grade separation projects at Auto Center Drive and Iowa Avenue, and a goods movement interchange project at I-215/Van Buren Boulevard will start construction by Spring/Summer of 2012. The remaining seven at -grade crossings are slated to start construction by December 2013. Table 1.1 presents a project status update for at -grade railroad crossings since the 2006 Study.

This study uses the approved methodology from the 2006 Study for the evaluation of updated data. In addition to the seven factors that were considered in the 2006 Study, two new criteria were added to this iteration. These were confirmed in consultation with technical staff of the affected jurisdictions, however the results of the 2012 study is pending approval of elected officials on the RCTC. The factors used in the 2006 Study include: • Safety (accident score rating, combination of frequency and severity) • Existing (2010) Daily Vehicle Delay • Future (2035) Daily Vehicle Delay • Emissions (2035) • Residential Noise • Adjacent Grade Separations • Local Priority The two additional criteria that were added to the 2012 study are: • Project Readiness • Isolated Location (bonus criterion) Each rail crossing was evaluated in terms of each of these nine factors, and a score was assigned based on the potential for benefits from grade separation. For example, a location with a high accident rating was given a high score because of the potential to improve safety through grade separation. A location with a high delay was given a high score because of the potential to reduce delay through grade separation. The scores for each factor were weighted to achieve the relative importance approved by the RCTC Commission. The weighted factor scores were combined to achieve an overall score for each location. The overall scores were used to assign each location a relative priority of 1 through 5, with priority #1 and #2 locations being the locations with greatest need for grade separation. 2.1 Weighting Options Based on feedback from the Technical Team (comprising of staff of the affected jurisdictions) meeting at the RCTC offices on November 8, 2011, two weighting options were reviewed. For each weighting option the criteria were scored slightly differently. Weighting option #1 is identical to the weighting that was used for the 2006 Study. Weighting option #2 differed from weighting option #1 by adding criterion "Project Readiness" and altering the weights for criteria "Existing (2010) Delay", "Future (2035) Delay" and "Safety". To the final scores obtained from each weighting option, a bonus score was added for the "Isolated Location" criterion. Each criterion was evaluated separately after which the scores for each 11 Riverside County Grode Crossing Priority Analysis, Kimley Horn and Associates, October 2006 8 l 2 t2 {.,/201.2 InfraConsult 218 pie Se Priorit ipdal•e Study idor East (Riverside Cot criterion were combined into an overall score for the crossing. In calculating the overall score, the individual criteria were weighted as shown in Table 2.1. Table 2.1: Evaluation Criteria and Weighting Weighting Option #1 (2006 Criteria) Safety Existing (2010) Vehicle Delay Future (2035) Vehicle Delay Emissions Residential Noise;, Adjacent Grade Separation Local Priority Project Readiness For both weighting options, a bonus criterion (Isolated Location) was added as contributing to an additional 5% to the overall score Weighting Option #2 (2012 Criteria) 20% Safety 20% Existing (2010) Vehicle Delay 20% Future (2035) Vehicle Delay 10% Emissions 10°% Residential Noise 10% Adjacent Grade Separation 10% Local Priority 0% Project Readiness 25% 15% 15% 10% 10% 10% 10% 5% To achieve the desired weighting, each score was multiplied by a weighting factor that was applied in order to achieve the following: • Normalize all the scores relative to each other; and • Apply the additional weighting to the delay and safety scores. Table 2.2 shows the scoring and weighting factors applied to each criterion for each weighting options.

The FRA maintains a database of incidents involving rail equipment (both passenger and freight trains) at the crossings. From this database, accident data for each crossing was obtained, representing the accident history for each crossing over a 10 -year period (2001-2010). In addition, at the November Technical Team meeting, the local agencies suggested that the 2012 Study 2/21/2012 InfraConsult 219 iority Stud ci Corridor- East (i:tt-er•side County) incorporate accidents within 250 feet of railroad crossings. This data was available from the Cities of Beaumont, Corona, Jurupa Valley, and the County of Riverside. An overall accident rate was developed for each rail crossing based on the 10 years of recorded incidents from FRA and where available from within 250 feet of the railroad crossing. The accident rate took into account both frequency (number of accidents per million vehicles) and severity (property damage only, injury accident, fatality). The calculation produced an overall accident rating that is weighted according to the total number of injury and fatality accidents. Each location was assigned a safety score of 0 through 5 based on its overall accident rating. The scoring of FRA data and local data within 250 feet of crossings is shown in Table 2.3. For each location, the higher of the two scores (using FRA and local data) was used as the final rating for scoring purposes. Table 2.3: Overall Accident Rating FRA Data (accidents per million vehicles) Rating Criteria Rating Points > 0.2.0 0.15 - 0.20 0.10 - 0.15 0.05 - 0.10 0.001 - 0.05 0.0 5 1 Local Data (within 250 feet of Crossings) (accidents per million vehicles) Rating Criteria > 10 5 10 3 _- 5 1 -3 0-1 Rating Points' 5 4 3 2 2.3 Methodology for Rail Crossing Delay Delay impacts at railroad crossings are characterized in terms of total gate down time in minutes and vehicle -hours of delay per day. The grade crossing delay analysis used for this study followed the same methodology used 2006 Study12 to estimate existing and future levels of delay at each grade crossing being analyzed. The delay for each grade crossing was calculated based on through train traffic plus the delay attributable to local train traffic and switching/operational delays. The calculation produced the total crossing -gate down -time and vehicle -hours of delay experienced by roadway traffic at each grade crossing location. In addition, it produced an estimate of the length of roadway traffic queue due to the gate down interval caused by trains passing through the crossing. The formulas are as follows: • Gate down time (for each train) = 0.603 + 60 * (train length + 50 + (12*# lanes)) 5280 * train speed • Vehicle delay (for each train) = (gate down time)`'* vehicle queue per lane l * *# lanes 2*(1 vehicle queue per lane) 60 vehicle departure rate • Queue length (for each train)= gate down time*vehic le queue per lane*avg. vehicle length 12 Riverside County Grade Crossing Priority Analysis, Kimley Horn and Associates, October 2006 2/21/2012 InfraConsult 220 te Stud Ai ar[1 e d a rido East (Riverside County) Vehicle hours of delay at grade crossings were calculated for both 2010 and 2035 conditions based on existing and future train volumes, and traffic volumes on arterial streets. Existing train activity was determined by means of train observations conducted at seven crossings throughout the study area. These locations were chosen to be geographically representative of each of the rail corridors within the county, and counts were collected over two consecutive weekdays. Of these seven locations, two were chosen to be representative where switching activity was reported in the 2006 Study. Switching activity for this study's purpose is defined as a location where short trains were observed to stop at crossings, instead of moving through. Table 2.4 summarizes the details of train count observation for this study. These count locations are identified in Figure 2.1. Observed train counts are included in Appendix A to this report.

Information on existing passenger train operations was obtained from Metrolink and Amtrak timetables. The forecasts of freight train and passenger train growth are consistent with SCAG's assumptions for their 2012 RTP/SCS. /201.2 InfraConsult • • 221 • Grade Separation Priority Update Study fir Alameda Corridor East (Riverside County) Figure 2 .1: Count Locations and Identification of Railroad Lines in Riverside C ounty Center /21/2012 /2 1/2012 InfraConsult SAN BERNARDINO LEGEND Rail Lines UPILASUB) 8NSF ;Cajon SUB) ++ UP BNSF (SR SUB1 • UP & BNSF (B1V1 �..r� BNSF 158 SUB) -*+- - U A',thir-,bra SUR) �•�� UP; VUMA?

To forecast traffic volumes for 2035, the current TransCAD model for Riverside County (Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RIVTAM)) was used to determine how much the existing volume would increase by the year 2035. 2035 traffic forecast at each location was calculated by applying a growth factor to existing (observed) vehicle counts at each location. The growth factor was derived from the RIVTAM. The train observation data were used to ascertain the switching and operational delays at each location. Local trains and switching/operational delays were identified in the train counts if trains were short (<10-15 cars), or if trains stopped or backed up. The level of local/switching delay was estimated for each of the seven locations observed in 2011/2012, and that amount of delay was applied to other rail crossings in proportion to the local/switching delay observed in 2006, then added to through train delays to obtain the total daily delay at each crossing. Based on these calculations, each location was assigned a score of 0 through 5 based on the average, daily vehicle delay as follows: Table 2.5: Vehicle Delay Criteria and Score 2005 Average Daily 2030 Average Daily Vehicle Delay Vehicle Delay > 30 vehicle hours/day 20-30 vehicle hours/day 15-19 vehicle hours/day 10-14 vehicle hours/day 5-9 vehicle hours/day <5 vehicle hours/day >150 vehicle hours/day 100-150 vehicle hours/day 50-99 vehicle hours/day 25-49 vehicle hours/day 10-24 vehicle hours/day < 10 vehicle hours/day.,"; Score 2.4 Methodology for Vehicle Emissions Vehicle emissions resulting from grade crossing delays were calculated under both existing and future conditions by multiplying estimated daily delay by the idling vehicle emissions factors established by the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board (ARB) and summarized in Table 2.6. On September 30, 2011, the ARB released their EMFAC2011 (EMission FACtors). The EMFAC2011 is the latest installment of the EMFAC series of models, which is ARB's tool for estimating emissions from on - road vehicles. The EMFAC outputs emission factors categorized by region (county and air basin where a county may encompass multiple air basins), calendar year, season (annual, summer, winter), vehicle category (passenger cars, trucks etc.), fuel type (gas, diesel), model year of vehicle and speed. For the purpose of this study idling emissions factors were obtained at five miles per hour speed under summer conditions, for all vehicle types and fuel.

Noise profiles are based on a whistle noise level of 108 dB at 100 feet from the source extending % mile (1,320 feet) on either side of the subject crossing14. This level is consistent with the upper threshold of the allowed maximum range of whistle levels and the maximum warning distance prescribed in the Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway -Rail Grade Crossings; Final Rule, FRA, August 2006. Concentric rings corresponding to each 15 dB reduction in noise level (noiseslevels typically reduce by 7.5 dB with each doubling in distance from the source) are drawn until a level of 55 dB is observed. A noise level of 55 dB is considered to be below the ambient noise level of a typical residential neighborhood, and therefore the impact of a whistle below this level is considered insignificant. The concentric rings correspond to the distances indicated in Table 2.9, although actual observed distances could vary based on topological and climatic conditions.

Rankings from the cities of Corona, Jurupa Valley, Riverside, Beaumont and County of Riverside were updated with input from each of the jurisdictions. For the rest, rankings are consistent with the 2006 Study. Each crossing was assigned a score of 1 through 25 for local priority, with the local agency's highest priority location 14 Source: Determination of a Sound Level for Railroad Horn Regulatory Compliance, Final Report, October 2002(http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/RRDev/Compliance Level Derivation.pdf) 2/21/2012 InfraConsult 226 receiving 25 points, with lower priority locations receiving points in a descending scale so that in each jurisdiction the lowest priority location received 25/x points (where "x" is the number of crossings within that jurisdiction).

Hence, at the request of the project technical team, "Project Readiness" was included as a criterion in weighting option #2 for scoring each at -grade crossing. Project readiness generally provides information on how far along each at -grade crossing is in its planning process namely: • Whether or not environmental clearance is obtained; and/or • Whether or not plans, specification and estimates (PS&E) is completed; and/or • Whether or not right-of-way (ROW) acquisition is secured. Each jurisdiction impacted by this study was requested to provide pertinent information on each of the grade crossings in their jurisdiction. Based on the information received, a score of 1 through 3 was assigned to rank at -grade crossing based on the following "Project Readiness" criterion: Project Readiness: All project elements completed = 3 Two out of three project elements completed = 2 One out of three project elements completed = 1 2.9 Methodology for Isolated Locations The Task Order recommended the inclusion of this criterion to measure and rank an at -grade crossing based on its accessibility to an alternate route for vehicular traffic to be diverted, should there be an incident at the railroad crossing or on the arterials or at adjacent freeway. An example of such a location is the rail crossing of San Timoteo Canyon in Calimesa. If there was an incident blocking a portion of 1-10 parallel to the railroad and a train was blocking the rail crossing at the same time, traffic through the area would be unable to move because there are no other available alternate routes. Based on feedback from the Technical Team meeting at the RCTC offices on November 8, 2011, this criterion was included as a "bonus" criterion, with a weighted score of 250 assigned to those locations that are determined as being "isolated". The following two locations were assigned bonus points for this criterion: 17 InfraConsult • 227 • • • Grade Separation 4'i iority Update Study for Afar Leda Corri t (iiiverside County) • San Timoteo Canyon Road in Calimesa • Apache Trail in the County of Riverside 2.10 Priority Groupings From the evaluation of these factors, the rail crossings were separated into five groups to indicate their relative priority for improvement, with the crossings grouped according to their overall score, with group #1 representing the highest priority locations. 2.11 Consistency and Coordination with SCAG Following the 2008 RTP, SCAG initiated its Comprehensive Regional Goods Movement Plan and Implementation Strategy. The regional goods movement system defined through this plan will be the basis of the Goods Movement section of the 2012 RTP/SCS. The train assumptions, particularly future growth rates for freight rail assumed in this study were finalized after discussion and collaboration with SCAG RTP and Goods Movement technical staff and consultant, so that the project list identified from this study can be incorporated within SCAG's Goods Movement Plan in a consistent manner. Until recently, the draft 2012 RTP/SCS was in circulation and was under a formal review and comment period which ended on February 14, 2012. Railroad crossings identified in priority groups #1 and #2 were forwarded to SCAG to include in its Constrained RTP/SCS project list, while the rest were recommended to be included in the agency's list of Strategic projects. 2/21/2012 InfraConsult 228 • 229 • • ie))&t-anon 1'i icsrity Update Study for Alameda Corridor East (Riverside County) 3.0 At -grade Crossing Analyses The methodologies described in the previous chapter were applied to each of the nine evaluation factors.

Table 3.5 summarizes the emissions in tons per year under existing and future conditions. Under future conditions (2035), it is anticipated that 53 tons per year of the various emissions will pollute Riverside County air due to traffic delays attributable to train activity and operational delay. This is almost a six -fold increase from existing levels of 9 tons per year. Accident analysis included data both from FRA as well as from local jurisdictions where it was available. Table 3.6 shows accident history and noise -impacted population for all study crossings. According to FRA data, a total of 25 injury/fatal accidents over a ten year period might have been avoided if all crossings were grade separated. During the same period, from the limited accident data within 250 feet of these crossing, approximately 230 injury/fatal accidents could have been avoided. The corresponding noise analysis quantifies existing population surrounding each grade crossing affected by 78 dB and 63 dB noise levels from train whistles; this population is within 1,600 feet and 6,400 feet from the railroad, crossings, respectively. If crossings were grade separated today, a single grade separation could eliminate 63 dB train whistle impacts on as many as 33,600 people around Avenue 54. However the magnitude of people affected by train whistles will decrease as Quiet Zones are implemented in many of the populated areas in the County. A Quiet Zone is a section of a rail line that contains one or more consecutive at -grade crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded. Since Quiet Zones imposes restrictions on sounding horns to keep vehicles and pedestrians off the tracks when a train passes through crossings, it uses alternative measures to implement safety at railroad crossings. These improvements, dictated by federal guidelines, include sidewalks and fences to keep pedestrians out of the railroad right-of-way, raised medians to prevent cars from driving around lowered gates, and signs to alert people that no horn will sound. 1/2012 InfraConsult 233 • • • Grade S, mratioll Priority Update Study for Alameda COrridor Fast (Ri verside Cclnt y) Table 3.5: Vehicle Emissi ons Rail Line Cross Street UP (LA SUB) BNSF (56 SUB) BNSF & UP (RIV) BNSF & UP (SB SUB) 22 Jurisdiction:- .

The group unanimously opted to move forward the rankings based on weighting option #2. Subsequently this weighting option #2 was reviewed and recommended for adoption by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on January 30, 2012. Weighting option #2 uses "Project Readiness" as one the criterion. It also reduces the relative importance of both existing and future "Vehicle Delay" while putting more weightage on "Safety". Table 4.1 presents the overall breakdown of Priority Groups 1 through 5, and lists the number of crossings in each group using each weighting options. Table 4.1: Priority Group Breakdown Weighting Option #1 Weighting Option tit Priority Group Score Range Number of Crossings Score Range Number of Crossings 1 > 3 200 9 > 3,000 9 2 2,520 3,200 10 2,490 - 3,000 9 3 2,030 — 2,520 10 2,000 — 2 490 11 4 1,400 — 2,040 &, 1,300 - 2,000 8 S < 1,400 9 < 1,300 9 Total 46 46 • Individual scores for each of the nine criteria factors were calculated, and are reported in Table 4.2. The overall weighted score for each crossing represents the sum of the individual factor scores after being multiplied by their respective weighting factors. This methodology was followed for both weighting option #1 and #2 (presented in Section 1.2). Table 4.3 and Figure 4.1 show the priority group ranking for all crossings studies for this analysis, using each of the weighting options. Each location is indicated with a half circle representing the results of each weighting option. The left half circle represent weighting option #1, while the right half circle represents weighting option #2. Results indicate that crossings may shift one level up or one level down using each of the weighting option. For example, Joy Street crossing in Corona is placed in Priority Group #2, using weighting option #1, but moves up to Priority Group #1 using weighting option #2. On the other hand, 22nd Street crossing in Banning is placed in Priority Group #1, using weighting option #1, but moves down to Priority Group #2 using weighting option #2. Table 4.4 and Figure 4.2 identifies those locations that received the highest priority scores and ranked in Priority Group #1 or #2 using weighting option #2. Total quantitative benefits for the construction of grade crossings under existing conditions and under future conditions for the top two priority tiers are summarized in Table 4.5. If all crossings in the top two Priority Groups are grade separated by the year 2035, a total of approximately 90 hours of gate down time per day would be avoided, vehicle hours of delay per day would be reduced by over 2,400 hours, anywhere between 20 to 150 accidents may be avoided over a ten year period, 34.7 tons of air pollutants would not be released into the atmosphere, and approximately 634,000 people would experience less noise from train whistles. 26 2/21/2012 InfraConsult 238 • • 239 • i on t h iCv i j da1Ct: t,,ayfor Alarned:1 t;r id Ica (Rivera Riverside County) Table 4.2: Scores for each Criterion • • Rai/ Line LA 55 LS) Cross Street [sell/ u.r Avenue..

The underlying assumptions for train count and freight forecast were finalized after discussion and collaboration with SCAG RTP and Goods Movement technical staff and consultant, so that the project list identified from this study can be incorporated within SCAG's Goods Movement Plan in a consistent manner. The 18 crossings that have been identified with the highest priority for improvements (those within Priority Groups #1 and #2) are typically characterized by high train and vehicular traffic volumes, extensive vehicle delay and emissions, and one or more traffic incidents in recent years. These crossings have the highest priority for near -term improvement and it is recommended that these locations be programmed for improvements as funding becomes available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: • • Over the last several weeks, Congress has made significant strides towards enacting a new multi -year surface transportation authorization bill. With a March 31 deadline looming for the expiration of the nation's current transportation programs and the federal excise tax on gasoline, Washington's attention to transportation infrastructure investment has spiked in recent days. Several key committees moved their pieces of the legislation forward in early February. However, as both the House and Senate versions of the transportation bill neared consideration on their respective floors prior to the President's Day holiday recess, Beltway politics began to cloud the prospects for passage. Despite major differences in the House and Senate versions of the bill and pundits' skepticism about the prospects of a final bill making it to the President's desk, the Commission remains optimistic that the process will continue. Commission staff is encouraged by the progress made thus far by Committee Chairs Barbara Boxer and John Mica in their respective chambers. Staff recommends that the Commission continue a posture that encourages Congress to move all of the pieces of a transportation bill to a Conference Committee as quickly as possible so that negotiations on a final bill can begin in order to avoid further short-term extensions of the nation's transportation program. Here is a brief update of where the bills stand at this time and how the Commission has been engaged on the national stage. Commission staff's oral presentation on this item will contain more up-to-date information as developments in Washington, D.C. evolve quickly. Agenda Item 9Q 294 House of Representatives — H.R. 7 Consideration of the core transportation bill in the House has been delayed by Speaker John Boehner until after the President's Day recess. Speaker Boehner has decided to allow an open rule, allowing Members to offer amendments to the bill. More than 240 amendments have been offered in House Rules Committee, meaning that a lengthy process is ahead to consider all of these policy ideas. The Commission has reviewed all of the amendments and is prepared to advocate in support and opposition to key amendments that impact Commission priorities, as adopted in the Commission's legislative platform. The Commission is also working closely with allied transportation agencies throughout California. The Commission authored an amendment, sponsored by Representatives Ken Ca►vert and Mary Bono Mack, which would eliminate bureaucratic red tape that can delay certain projects by three to six months. Such streamlining policies have long been a priority of the Commission. A copy of the amendment is attached to this staff report. The Commission is grateful to Mr. Calvert and Ms. Bono Mack for bringing this policy item for consideration by the House. First, the amendment must be approved by the House Rules Committee, and then ordered to the House floor for debate and a vote. In general, the House bill contains many favorable provisions that will streamline environmental approvals for projects and increase local control. The bill also includes a robust Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program, funding for State Infrastructure Banks, and reduces restrictions on tolling and innovative financing. However, the Commission remains concerned about the House's approach to removing public transportation funding from the Highway Trust Fund and reversing three decades of precedent by moving transit to the General Fund and removing long-term funding certainty. Senate — MAP -21 The Senate process continues to be bi-partisan. Senator Boxer and Majority Leader Harry Reid continue to navigate the bill forward. Many amendments are also being offered to the Senate bill; however, more than 80 Senators voted to begin debate on the bill. The Commission is working with the staff of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on policy recommendations to Chair Boxer's bill. MAP -21 contains key provisions helpful to the Commission on TIFIA and expanding the amount of formula dollars that get sent to the Commission for projects. MAP - 21 also contains the most robust goods movement program of any proposal at this time; a key priority to the Commission. Senator Boxer's visit to the Magnolia Avenue Grade Separation project in Riverside in January underscores the Senate's emphasis on freight and the need for federal funding for goods movement projects. Agenda Item 9Q • 295 • While MAP -21 revamps our planning processes in many ways, the bill does a number of things that increase flexibility for the Commission and ensures performance and accountability for the federal transportation program. However, there is one provision that is of concern to the Commission that would send some of the Commission's formula funds for congestion mitigation and air quality projects to private construction companies to purchase clean construction equipment. While this provision is well-intentioned, it will have a negative impact on the Commission's ability to fund key projects, create jobs in Riverside County, and reduce congestion. The Commission and allied transportation groups are communicating with Senate staff and other stakeholders on this issue.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The initial step in the budget process is to develop policy goals and objectives for the next fiscal year that are consistent with the Commission's overall strategic direction. Most importantly, the adoption of the Commission Policy Goals and Objectives for the annual fiscal year budget provides an opportunity to match the Commission's spending priorities in a manner that implements the promises made to the citizens of the county of Riverside in both Measure A Expenditure Plans and that fulfills other Commission responsibilities. The Commission's seven long-term policy goals are: • Promote mobility; • Mitigate and address the impact of goods movement; • Encourage economic development; • Ensure improved system efficiencies; • Foster environmental stewardship; • Support transportation choices through intermodalism and accessibility; and • Prioritize public and agency communications. The Commission's Financial and Administrative Policies are also included in the Commission Policy Goals and Objectives for the FY 2012/13 Budget. Attachment: Proposed Commission Policy Goals and Objectives for FY 2012/13 Budget Agenda Item 10 300 • • Commission Policy Goals and Objectives In addition to financial and administration policies, the Commission has seven long-term policy goals: promote mobility, mitigate and address the impact of goods movement, encourage economic development, ensure improved system efficiencies, foster environmental stewardship, support transportation choices through intermodalism and accessibility, and prioritize public and agency communications. For each of these policy goals, the objectives and initiatives that were considered in the framework of the work plan for the FY 2012/13 budget are identified below. While Riverside County grapples with the challenges of a weak real estate market, high unemployment, and a recovering economy, the need for better transportation remains a top public priority. The Commission is poised to address these challenges via the seven policy goals. In moving forward with an aggressive program of projects and services, the Commission will face the challenge of fluctuating Measure A, TUMF, and TDA revenues and uncertainty regarding the availability of federal and state transportation revenues. Due to the long-term nature of many of the Commission's programs, many of the policy goals' objectives and initiatives are ongoing from year to year. Promote Mobility The Commission, in cooperation with local, state, and federal agencies, will strive to create a transportation system that promotes efficient mobility both within the County and region. • Complete projects and programs included in the 1989 Measure A and determine use(s) for any unexpended revenues. • Continue to aggressively pursue completion of the environmental, design, and construction processes on key components of the Western Riverside County Delivery Plan, which includes the SR -91, 1-15, and 1-215 corridor improvement projects. • Continue to develop the toll program consistent with the Western Riverside County Delivery Plan including executing toll program agreements with key regional and state partners namely Caltrans, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), toll operator, city of Corona, California Highway Patrol (CHP), and others. • Develop requests for proposals for SR -91 corridor improvement project design -build contract and pursue funding opportunities via the TIFIA loan program. • Continue the preliminary engineering and environmental clearance for the Mid County Parkway and SR - 79 realignment projects. • Continue to work with state and federal agencies to fund and construct projects programmed in the STIP, Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), Proposition 1B bond programs, and Measure A program as well as other high priority regional projects. • Maximize obtaining all available transportation funds and strategically program funds to meet funding deadlines and to prevent the lapse and loss of funds. • Maximize the effective application and use of Western County TUMF funds to deliver eligible Commission priority projects. • Work closely with local jurisdictions to implement the TUMF Regional Arterial Program and facilitate the delivery of arterial improvements in Western County. • Actively participate in the SR -91 Advisory Committee to facilitate near and long-term improvements to SR -91, enhance intercounty public transit options, and foster mobility improvements between the two counties. + Advocate streamlining efforts at the state and federal levels that will reduce costs, time, and delays currently associated with project delivery including, but not limited to, timely project reviews and approvals. • Continue to coordinate and provide public access to commuter information via the 1E511 system and focus commuter assistance and 1E511 outreach efforts under one brand. • Continue cooperation with the FTA regarding the Small Starts process to support the initiation of the Perris Valley Line commuter rail service in 2013. 301 • Continue to work with the public transit operators to control costs and increase system efficiencies in order to accommodate fluctuating revenues from local, state and federal sources. • Continue to develop transit service to further promote seamless intracity, intercity, and regional transit connectivity for County residents. Mitigate and Address the Impact of Goods Movement The Commission will work with federal, state, and local governments to facilitate the movement of goods and services to, within, and through the County, recognizing the vital role goods movement mobility plays in the economic health of the County, the State, and the nation. • Seek funding and local agency concurrence to implement the Commission's approved, high -priority railroad grade separation priority list to mitigate the impact of increased goods movement demands on the transportation system. • Encourage Congress to create a federal freight trust fund, or similar program with a dedicated and firewalled revenue structure, in order to treat the nation's multimodal national goods movement network as a system rather than individual projects. • Remain committed to a regional approach regarding goods movement issues in order to maximize funding from state and federal sources to goods movement needs in Southern California. • Continue working with the Ports and regional transportation commissions to develop a funding mechanism for needed projects and mitigation on a regional basis. Encourage Economic Development Transportation decisions will consider the economic benefits derived from any improvement, and, where feasible and practical, will pursue transportation alternatives that enhance or complement economic development. • Commit to seek opportunities related to transportation projects that will create jobs and improve the economic base in the County. • Support local agencies in the design and construction of interchanges that are in proximity to regional economic centers and developments. • Support local projects, consistent with countywide transportation goals, which enhance business development, local employment, and area tourism. Ensure Improved System Efficiencies The Commission will select projects and allocate funds in a manner that will improve safety and reduce congested traffic corridors. Advocate the development and use of advanced technologies for transportation applications that are affordable and practical. • In partnership with SANBAG, refine and enhance the 1E511 system through the deployment of an iPhone and Android App, which will make real-time traffic information, real-time bus and rail transit trip planning information, and rideshare information available to commuters for the purpose of trip planning and reducing congestion. • Assure the effectiveness of transit planning through coordination with the County's eight transit operators, Citizens' Advisory Committee, and annual SRTP process with a goal toward promoting program productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness. • Provide innovative commuter rideshare programs to reduce single occupant vehicle trips and coordinate with other regional rideshare service providers to address intercounty commute trips. • Work with local jurisdictions, Ca!trans, and the CHP to continue efficient delivery of a comprehensive motorist aid system which includes an 1E511 traveler information service, a call box program, and an FSP program, including temporary services in freeway construction zones. • Leverage resources to incorporate park and ride facilities and additional connecting bus service at Metrolink stations that may have available capacity. 302 • • • Continue working with Caltrans to monitor traffic conditions for the purpose of focusing transportation funds on congested corridors and system deficiencies. • Work with Caltrans and regional agencies in developing resources for preservation and maintenance of the highways and regional arterials. Foster Environmental Stewardship The Commission will achieve its mobility goals while promoting environmental stewardship and protecting the area's natural resources and quality of life. • Continue working with the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA), Caltrans, and state/federal resource agencies to implement the Multi -Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). • Work with the SCAG, SCAQMD, sub -regional agencies, and local jurisdictions to implement an RTP and sustainable communities strategy that meets regional air quality goals, conformity guidelines, and SB375 green house reduction targets for the SCAG region. • Support a variety of outreach channels and educational programs that promote the benefits of ridesharing, public and specialized transit, rail, and availability of commuter resources for the purposes of reducing vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled. • Facilitate private/public use of clean fuels technology. • Continue to develop sustainable and green commuter rail stations and provide upgrades and rehabilitation projects to reduce the environmental impact of the existing stations.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In February 2005, the Commission authorized a $200 million commercial paper program to advance right of way acquisition, environmental mitigation, and project development related to the 2009 Measure A. The commercial paper program was established in March 2005 in the amount of $185 million. A five-year, $190 million direct pay letter of credit with Bank of America was obtained as a liquidity facility for the commercial paper program; it functions as security for investors in the Commission's commercial paper notes if the Commission were unable to refinance the notes at maturity. The initial letter of credit expired on March 29, 2010. As a result of Commission action in February 2010, the letter of credit with Bank of America was extended to March 29, 2012 and the commercial paper program was reduced to $120 million. Additionally in March 2005, the Commission entered into agreements with Barclays, as assigned by Lehman Brothers, and BAML, formerly Banc of America Securities LLC, to serve as the commercial paper dealers for the $110 million Series A and $75 million Series B, respectively. Due to the reduction in commercial paper program in 2010, the dealer agreements were also amended to reflect $75 million for Barclays and $45 million for BAML. Staff determined that the commercial paper program should be maintained at $120 million for at least a few more years, as the Commission continues the financing activities necessary for the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (SR -91 CIP) design -build phase. Short-term financing may be required during the next few years in anticipation of the issuance of sales tax revenue bonds and toll revenue bonds and receipt of proceeds of a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan in connection with the SR -91 CIP. An additional factor in continuing the commercial paper program is that the cost for the letter(s) of credit has decreased significantly since 2010. At the 2010 extension, the cost for the extended letter of credit commitment was 105 basis points, or 1.05%. The cost of the commitments involved in the current transaction is 50 percent lower than the 2010 extension cost. Agenda Item 11 • 308 • • In December 2011, the Commission's financial advisors, Fieldman Rolapp and Associates (Fieldman), conducted a request for indications of interest and availability for a letter of credit to support the commercial paper program. It was anticipated that the Commission would require one or more letters of credit with a total stated amount of $120 million plus interest as a means of diversification. The request was distributed to seven banks that met the Commission's criteria. Two responses were received from Bank of America and Union Bank; both banks proposed to support the full program at $120 million at rates of 35 basis points and 48 basis points, respectively. Other banks did not submit a proposal because banks focused more on providing competitive proposals for customers with which they have existing relationships. After an evaluation of the responses and negotiations with the two banks, staff initially planned to recommend that the Commission extend the letter of credit with Bank of America and obtain a letter of credit with Union Bank through September 30, 2014 at the stated amount for each of $60 million plus interest. However, at the end of February the financial team became aware of a Moody's Investors Service report that puts Bank of America on a review for downgrade within the next couple of months. Should a downgrade of Bank of America occur, it would also affect the Commission's commercial paper ratings and potentially the rollover of the commercial paper notes —in particular, the interest rate. After significant consultation among the financial team members and discussions with Bank of America and Union Bank, management determined that it was in the Commission's best interest to revise its recommendation as follows: • Obtain a letter of credit with Union Bank through September 30, 2014 at the stated amount of $60 million plus approximately $750,000 in interest at a fee of 48 basis points; and • Continue consideration of obtaining a second letter of credit with another qualified bank. Subsequent to the February 27 Budget and Implementation Committee meeting, Fieldman followed up with Union Bank regarding supporting the $120 million commercial paper program instead of the $60 million. Union Bank declined to support the full program due to the intervening events like the impending bankruptcy of the city of Stockton coupled with the subordinate nature of the pledge of payment on the reimbursement agreement. As a result of these events, Union Bank wanted to limit its exposure to a single issuer. Some of the banks included in the initial request for indications of interest as well as other qualified banks were also contacted. Following the evaluation of the two new proposals that were obtained (from two of the original seven banks solicited) through these recent efforts, staff in consultation with Fieldman recommends ratification of the proposal received from Bank of Tokyo to provide a letter of credit Agenda Item 11 309 through September 30, 2014 at the stated amount of $60 million plus approximately $750,000 in interest. The initial cost of the Bank of Tokyo proposal was 55 basis points; however, a slightly lower fee of 52.5 basis points was negotiated. Each bank requires a "most favored nations" clause in its credit agreement. This means that if the Commission offers another bank more desirable terms (from the bank's point of view), the other bank may also receive those terms. This clause directly affects Union Bank's rate because of the higher rate negotiated with Bank of Tokyo. Therefore, staff recommends ratification of each of the letters of credit provided by Union Bank and Bank of Tokyo at a cost of 52.5 basis points. A key factor in the increase of the cost for the letter of credit is the subordinate lien position of the commercial paper program and the potential bankruptcy of the city of Stockton. Fieldman has indicated to us that the resulting terms are consistent with those currently being obtained by other highly rated entities procuring letters of credit. In connection with the new letters of credit with Union Bank and Bank of Tokyo, a supplement to the initial offering memorandum will be required to describe the new letters of credit and information about Union Bank and Bank of Tokyo. As noted in previous debt issuances, the Commissioners serving on the Board as the governing body of the issuer are expected to read and be familiar with the Offering Memorandum (related to commercial paper notes) or Official Statement (related to sales tax revenue bonds). The Commissioners may employ the services of experts to take the lead in the drafting and review of such offering document; however, the Commissioners have the duty to review the information and bring to the attention of those responsible for the preparation of the offering document any misstatements or omissions in the draft and to ask questions it is unclear about the information or their role. For issues of commercial paper notes secured by letter of credit, the Commissioners may rely on the professional advice of experts as to the disclosure regarding the banks, and investors are told on the cover page to make their investment decisions solely on the basis of the credit worthiness of the banks. Accordingly, the Commissioner's responsibility for information in the Supplement is very limited. Staff will be available at the Commission meeting to respond to the identification of any misstatements or omissions or to such questions related to the draft of the supplement to the offering memorandum, which is included with this staff report. The estimated costs for professional services related to the amendment of the letter credit are $300,000. The costs primarily include fees for the financial advisor, bond counsel, bank counsel, disclosure counsel, dealer counsel, general counsel, and rating agencies. Amendments to certain professional services agreements will be required in connection with this amendment. When the commercial paper was initially established, the Commission approved Resolution No. 05-001 which included authorization for the Authorized Agenda Item 11 • • 310 • • Representatives (i.e., the Executive Director and/or the Chief Financial Officer, as defined in the master indenture for the commercial paper program) to take any action necessary for the amendment of documents without further authorization by the Commission. Although Commission approval of the agreements is not required, staff requests their ratification. On behalf of the Commission, Fieldman and bond counsel have been negotiating the terms of the agreements with Union Bank and Bank of Tokyo, and the draft agreements with Union Bank and Bank of Tokyo are included with this staff report. Additionally, staff recommends that the Commission adopt Resolution No. 12-009 and approve the draft supplement to the offering memorandum (both of which are included with this staff report) and estimated professional services costs. Staff, the financial advisors, and bond and general legal counsels will continue to review the draft documents and finalize the terms of the agreements.

RECEIVER'S POWER TO REPUDIATE LETTERS OF CREDIT If a financial institution, such as the Series A Bank or the Series B Bank, is placed into receivership, the receiver generally will have broad powers with respect to the disposition of the assets and liabilities of such financial institution. A receiver may, depending on the circumstances and the scope of its legal authority, repudiate letters of credit issued by the failed financial institution while discharging its powers as receiver. No assurance can be given that if either Bank were to enter receivership that its corresponding Letter of Credit would not be subject to repudiation by such Bank's receiver. TAX MATTERS On March 30, 2005, the date of original issuance of the Notes, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel to the Commission, delivered an opinion with respect to the Notes to the effect that based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Notes, when issued in accordance with the Indenture, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement and the Master Tax Certificate of the Commission (the "Tax Certificate"), is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. The opinion of Bond Counsel further stated that interest on the Notes is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, although Bond Counsel observed that such interest is included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the opinion Bond Counsel delivered at the time of original issuance of the Notes and a subsequent revision thereto are set forth in Appendix E hereto, subject to the matters discussed below. Notice 94-84, 1994-2 C.B. 559, states that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") is studying whether the amount of the payment at maturity on short-term debt obligations (i.e., debt obligations with a stated fixed rate of interest which mature not more than one year from the date of issue) that is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes is (i) the stated interest payable at maturity or (ii) the difference between the issue price of the short-term debt obligations and the aggregate amount to be paid at maturity of the short-term debt obligations (the "original issue discount"). For this purpose, the issue price of the short-term debt obligations is the first price at which a substantial amount of the short-term debt obligations is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of Dealers, placement agents or wholesalers). Until the IRS provides further guidance with respect to tax-exempt short-term debt obligations, taxpayers may treat either the stated interest payable at maturity or the original issue discount as interest that is excluded from 95474347.6 5 515 gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, taxpayers must treat the amount to be paid at maturity on all tax-exempt short-term debt obligations in a consistent manner. Taxpayers should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Notes if the taxpayer elects original issue discount treatment. Notes purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than their principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some eases, at their earlier call date) ("Premium Notes") will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of notes, like the Premium Notes, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interest received, and a Holder's basis in a Premium Note, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium properly allocable to such Holder. Holders of Premium Notes should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their particular circumstances. The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Notes. The Commission has made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions, conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the Notes will not be included in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply or to have complied with these covenants may result in interest on the Notes being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Notes. The opinion of Bond Counsel rendered in connection with the original issuance of the Notes assumes the accuracy of these representations and compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other matters coming to Bond Counsel's attention after the date of issuance of the Notes may adversely affect or have adversely affected the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Notes. Accordingly, the opinion of Bond Counsel was and is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or matters. Although the opinion Bond Counsel rendered in connection with the original issuance of the Notes stated that interest on the Notes is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Notes may otherwise affect a Holder's federal, state or local tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the Holder or the Holder's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences. The opinion of Bond Counsel described herein is deemed to be delivered and in effect by Bond Counsel as to any Note issued after the date of such opinion, to the extent that, at the date of issuance of such Note: (i) there is and has been no change in applicable existing federal or State of California law; (ii) the provisions of the Indenture, in so far as such provisions affect the terms and conditions pursuant to which Notes are issued and held, have not been materially amended or supplemented; (iii) the representations and covenants of the parties contained in the Indenture, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Tax Certificate and certain certificates dated the date of the opinion of Bond Counsel and delivered by authorized officers of the 95474347.6 6 • • • 516 Commission remain and have remained from the date of original issuance true and accurate and are and have been complied with in all material respects; and (iv) no litigation affecting the issuance or validity of the Notes is pending at the time of delivery of any such Notes. Legislation, if enacted into law, or clarification of the Code subsequent to the date Bond Counsel delivered its opinion may cause or may have caused interest on the Notes to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation, or otherwise prevent Holders from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such subsequent legislation or clarification of the Code may also affect or have affected the market price for, or marketability of, the Notes. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors regarding any federal tax legislation pending, proposed or enacted subsequent to the date Bond Counsel delivered its opinion in connection with the original issuance of the Notes, as to which Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion. The opinion of Bond Counsel was based on current legal authority, covered certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities, and represented Bond Counsel's judgment as to the proper treatment of the Notes for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about activities of the Commission subsequent to the date Bond Counsel delivered its opinion, or about the effect of changes in the Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS subsequent to the date Bond Counsel delivered its opinion. The Commission has covenanted, however, to comply with the requirements of the Code. Bond Counsel's engagement with respect to the Notes ended with the issuance of the Notes, and, unless separately engaged, Bond Counsel is not obligated to defend the Commission or the Holders regarding the tax-exempt status of the Notes in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties other than the Commission and their appointed counsel, including the Holders, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit examination of tax-exempt notes is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with which the Commission legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS, including but not limited to selection of the Notes for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an audit of notes presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the marketability of, the Notes, and may cause the Commission or the Holders to incur significant expense. RATINGS The Notes have been assigned ratings of " " and " " by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, respectively, based on the issuance by the Banks of their respective Letters of Credit. Certain information was supplied by the Commission to Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services to be considered in evaluating the Notes. The ratings reflect only the views of such rating agencies and any explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from the rating agencies. There is no assurance that any rating will be retained for any given period of time or that the same will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by either rating agency if in its 95474347.6 7 517 judgment, circumstances so warrant. The Commission undertakes no responsibility to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes.. THE DEALERS The Commission has appointed Barclays Capital Inc. as commercial paper dealer (the "Series A Dealer") with respect to the offering and sale of the Series A Notes pursuant to the related Dealer Agreement with the Series A Dealer (the "Series A Dealer Agreement"), and has appointed Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as commercial paper dealer (the "Series B Dealer" and, together with the Series A Dealer, the "Dealers") with respect to the offering and sale of the Series B Notes pursuant to the related Dealer Agreement with the Series B Dealer (the "Series B Dealer Agreement" and together with the Series A Dealer Agreement, the "Dealer Agreements"). The Dealer Agreements, among other things, do not require the Dealers to purchase the Notes. Furthermore, pursuant to the Dealer Agreements, the Dealers may resign or be replaced by the Commission. The Series B Dealer and Bank of America, N.A., the provider of the Series A Letter of Credit supporting payment of the Series A Notes, are both wholly -owned, indirect subsidiaries of Bank of America Corporation. 95474347.6 8 • 518 • • • The execution and delivery of this Supplement has been duly authorized by the Commission.
