Cathy Bechtel, Director of Transportation Planning and Policy

SUBJECT:
TDA Funding Formula for Western Riverside County Bus and
Commuter Rail Service
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve a change in the Western County funding formula for Local
Transportation Funds and State Transit Assistance Funds for bus and
commuter rail service to 78% for bus and 22% for commuter rail
effective in FY 2004/05;
2) Approve a timeline for the funding formula to be reviewed in FY
2007/08 with proposed changes to be implemented in FY 2009/10;
and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In December, 1995, for Western County operators, the Commission adopted an
80% public bus and 20% commuter rail funding formula policy for Local
Transportation Funds (LTF). Prior to the adoption of the policy, various meetings
were held with Western County bus operators and commuter rail staff to determine
the appropriate percentage split. In 1998, the 80%/20% formula was also
approved to be applied to State Transit Assistance (STA) funding. Following are
the highlights of the approved policy which established the funding formula:
Policy covered FY 1996/97 through FY 2001/02;
- Timeline to review the formula would be every six years;
20% formula for commuter rail was projected to be sufficient to fund
up to Tier 2 rail service which was defined as "all rail services
currently in operation plus the planned additional service from
Riverside via Fullerton to Los Angeles;" and
1
Commuter rail and bus operators agreed that they would need to
adjust their service levels to operate within the available allocation of
funding.
Reauthorization of Measure "A" and Passage of TUMF:
Several meetings were held during FY 2001/02 to review the funding needs for
Western County commuter rail and bus operators. In approximately January,
2002, a management decision was made to place the review of the 80%/20%
policy on hold until after the successful reauthorization of Measure "A". In
November, 2002, Measure "A" was reauthorized and as a result, it is projected
that funding in the amount of $255,219,970 will be available for Western County
bus and commuter rail service beginning in FY 2009/10. (Note: $85M and $50M
for the Specialized Transit and Commuter Assistance Programs have been
subtracted from this amount).
Language contained in the reauthorized Measure "A" ordinance states that:
"Metrolink has provided a viable alternative to the automobile for thousands
of daily commuters to Orange and Los Angeles counties and reduces the
demand on our freeways. The current service level needs to double in the
future and expansion of the system to Moreno Valley and Perris is needed to
relieve congestion on I-215...."
The planned service from Riverside to Perris is consistent with the current and
future voter approved Measure "A" expenditure plan which identified commuter rail
service on the San Jacinto Branch Line.
In addition to the reauthorization of Measure "A", TUMF was also approved. It is
estimated that approximately $107M (3.8%) will be available for capital transit
projects of a regional nature. TUMF funds will be available beginning with FY
2002/03 through FY 2024/25.
Planned Commuter Rail Program Growth:
The following information is provided to highlight the commuter rail program's
anticipated growth and associated station costs:
1) Service on the existing three lines - (Riverside — IEOC - 91 Line) — will
increase from 35 to 65 weekday trains, an increase of 85%.
Expanded service will be phased in beginning with FY 2003/04 and
will be completed in FY 2008/09;
2
2) RCTC owns and operates five Metrolink stations in Riverside County
with a current annual budget of $1.2M. It is anticipated that station
costs will increase an average of 3% per year;
3) The planned extension of commuter rail service from Riverside to
Perris by FY 2007/08 will increase the number of Metrolink operated
route miles by 50% (from 37.5 to 56.5 route miles);
a. The cost associated with the Perris extension will increase
RCTC's train operating subsidy by a minimum of $2M a year (a
50% increase in the current train subsidy); and
b. The service to Perris will require approximately four new
stations. As a result, it is projected that station operating
expenses will increase by a minimum of $1M a year.
Planned Growth for the Public Transit Operators — Western Riverside County:
The major project planned for the public transit operators over the next several
years is a potential Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. Approximately two years ago,
RTA hired a consultant team to study the potential of implementing a BRT system
in western Riverside County. The consultant team consisting of staff from UC
Berkeley, UCR and UCLA are currently working towards developing a strategic plan
that phases in improvements over multiple years: near term — allowing strategies
and improvements that could be introduced in 1 to 2 years; an immediate near term
(4 to 5 years) deployment of key components of BRT along with a longer term p/an
(10 years) that would represent a full-blown BRT system. Based on a meeting with
RTA's Executive Director, it is anticipated that the costs associated with the BRT
project will be covered by unclaimed LTF funds allocated to RTA in prior years.
No major expansion projects are planned by the city municipal operators.
Proposed Change in Funding Formula:
Staff is recommending that the policies allocating LTF and STA funds at 80% to
public bus and 20% to commuter rail service be changed to 78% for public bus
and 22% for commuter rail effective FY 2004/05. The attached spreadsheet
provides projected LTF revenue (based on 3% growth projection) for FY 2004/05
through FY 2009/10.
3
Periodic Review of Funding Allocation Policy:
Over the next several fiscal years, various funding sources will be available to
transit and commuter rail including: 1) Measure "A" which will be available for
both operating and capital projects beginning with FY 2009/10; and 2) Proposition
42, a 20 year funding stream available in FY 2008/09. Proposition 42 initially
guarantees the funding allocations of the Traffic Congestion Relief Program
included in AB 2928 and the FY 2001/02 State Budget and then, commencing with
FY 2008/09, distributes an estimated $1.4 billion in revenues in the following
fashion:
20% to cities distributed by population;
- 20% to counties distributed based on registered vehicles and road
miles;
- 20% to the Public Transportation Account to fund transit; and
- 40% to the STIP to fund regional and inter -regional projects.
Based on the $1 .4 billion revenue estimate, using current RCTC apportionment
areas and population based formulas, Riverside County transit apportionment areas
are estimated to receive the following 20 -year revenues:
Western Riverside County
Coachella Valley
Palo Verde Valley
$70.5 million
$19.4 million
$ 1.1 million
In addition, as stated earlier, approximately $107M in TUMF fees will also be
available for capital projects of a regional nature.
Meetin • with Transit Operators:
Staff discussed the proposed change to the Western County funding policy with
the transit operators during the past month to determine potential service level
issues should a shift in funding occur. In addition, a meeting was held on
September 16, 2003, to discuss the proposed TDA funding formula change with all
transit providers present either in person or via conference call. Following is a
summary of the concerns and responses (if appropriate) made at the meeting:
1) Comment: The "transit/commuter rail" partnership is a "win -
win" for everyone.
4
2) Comment: Concern was expressed that funding is needed for
transit centers.
Response: Current funding is available for transit centers
including Section 5307; TUMF; Section 5309 discretionary and
LTF/STA funds.
3) Comment: Concern was expressed that one operator has been
reluctant to increase service frequency due to funding
constraints.
Response: Historically, Western County bus operators have not
utilized all available LTF funding. Funding has been available to
increase frequency and has been provided when requested.
4) Comment: Concern was expressed at the inequity of fare
reimbursement available through Southern California Regional
Rail Authority stating that the reimbursement policy is applied
differently among the various transit operators. Example: one
operator receives zero reimbursement while another operator
receives approximately $2.00 for each one-way trip.
Response: This issue was resolved immediately following the
September 16th meeting. All operators in Riverside County will
receive up to $1.92 per trip provided. (Note: this item will be
fully discussed in a subsequent agenda item).
Staff Recommendations:
As a result of the additional revenue sources and the planned increase in commuter
rail service, staff is recommending the following:
1) Funding formula policy be changed to 78% for Western County public
bus operators and 22% for commuter rail. Policy to be implemented
in FY 2004/05; and
2) Funding formula to be reviewed in FY 2007/08 with proposed changes
to be implemented in FY 2009/10.
5
Commuter rail and bus operators will need to plan service levels based on available
funding levels; however, should either the public bus providers or commuter rail
provider require additional funds over and above the 78%/22% funding level,
requests will be considered and presented to the Commission for further
consideration.

SUBJECT:
Triennial Performance Audit for Fiscal Years 01 Through FY 03
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the selection of Arthur Bauer & Associates, Inc., to conduct
the triennial performance audit of the Commission and seven public
transit operators;
2) Allocate up to $56,900 in Local Transportation Funds (LTF) to cover
the cost of the audit;
3) Authorize the Chairman to execute a contract, pursuant to Legal
Counsel review, on behalf of the Commission; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the July 28, 2003 Commission meeting, staff was directed to release a Request
for Proposal (RFP) to conduct the required triennial performance audits. The audits
are required to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness and economy of the
Commission and the seven public transit operators: City of Banning, City of
Beaumont, City of Corona, City of Riverside Special Services, Palo Verde Valley
Transit Agency, Riverside Transit Agency and SunLine Transit Agency.
The RFP was distributed to approximately 100 agencies. Three proposals were
received. The following table provides a summary of the hours and consulting fees
associated with each of the firms:

The Commission's Audit Ad Hoc Committee consisting of Chris Buydos, Terry
Henderson and Art Welch served as the review committee and used the following
criteria to review the proposals:
1) Qualification and experience of the firm;
2) Qualification and experience of the individuals;
3) Organization of the work and management plan;
4) Demonstrating an understanding of the needs;
5) References; and
6) Fees.
Consultant interviews were conducted on September 3, 2003. While all three
firms were qualified to conduct the audit, Arthur Bauer & Associates, Inc. (Bauer) is
being recommended by the Audit Ad Hoc Committee to perform the triennial
performance audit. Bauer has over 30 years of transportation experience and
assisted in developing the language for the Transportation Development Act. If
approved, Bauer anticipates it will take approximately 190 hours to conduct the
RCTC audit and 280 hours for the audit of the transit operators. Triennial
performance audits are required every three years and must be conducted in
accordance with the guidelines set by the State Comptroller General's Office.
As required by the "Performance Audit Guidebook for Transit Operations and
Regional Transportation Planning Entities", a letter was faxed to the Riverside
County Transit Operators requesting feedback on whether there were any conflicts
of interest or comments regarding the three firms. At the time of writing this
agenda item, no comments were received.

Transfer Funding Partnership MOU with SCRRA (Metrolink)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the development and execution of a Transfer Funding
Partnership Memorandum of Understanding with the Southern
California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), pursuant to Legal Counsel
review; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Metrolink's fares are structured to include free transfers to connecting transit
services. Approximately 50% of all Metrolink riders use their Metrolink ticket to
complete their daily trips. To facilitate these connecting transfers, SCRRA has
entered into agreements with public transit operators serving Metrolink stations in
each county. In Riverside County, SCRRA has executed two separate Interagency
Transfer Agreements with RTA and the City of Corona.
Under the terms of the Transfer Agreements, SCRRA reimburses the transit
operator for the Metrolink boardings at a negotiated rate per boarding. The
majority of the transfer agreements restrict the bus routes, time of day and
direction of travel, that are included in the agreement to routes that provide
feeder/distribution service to Metrolink train stations.
Effective bus transit connections at the Metrolink stations are a key component to
the continued success of Metrolink in Riverside County. Currently, RTA, SunLine,
and the Corona Cruiser/Dial-A-Ride provide connecting transit services at the RCTC
stations. The introduction of the new RTA CommuterLink Express Bus services
this month provides another choice for Metrolink riders as well as bus riders.
These services are important to providing a seamless trip experience to the
Metrolink rider and help reduce parking requirements at our five stations. As a
result, staff recommends executing a Memorandum of Understanding with
10
Metrolink to provide consistent transfer reimbursements to all three operators,
RTA, SunLine, and Corona Cruiser/Dial-A-Ride. Execution of the agreement,
coupled with the separate Interagency Transfer Agreements (between the transit
operator and Metrolink), will ensure that Riverside County riders with a valid
Metrolink ticket will be able to ride for free (in most cases) or at a reduced fare.
The MOU will provide the maximum one-way trip transfer reimbursement.
Currently, the maximum is $ 1.92, and will be consistently applied to all public bus
operators providing service to RCTC owned Metrolink stations. Staff, in
consultation with Metrolink staff, estimates the annual increase in RCTC's
operating costs to be in the range of $ 12,000 - $ 15,000.

AGENDA ITEM 8
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION
DATE:
September 22, 2003
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Diana Kotler, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Marilyn Williams, Director of Regional Programs and Public Affairs
SUBJECT:
Commuter Exchange Request for Qualifications
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Authorize staff to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select
the best qualified manufacturer to plan, design, and manufacture a
new Commuter Exchange vehicle;
2► Authorize staff to negotiate the Best and Final Offer for the purchase
of a new Commuter Exchange vehicle;
3) Direct staff to bring back final recommendations and results of the
review, selection, and contract negotiations process for consideration
of contract award; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Since 1991, the Riverside County Transportation Commission has been operating
the Commuter Exchange, a specialty vehicle designed to provide public outreach
and student education opportunities relative to the relief of traffic congestion and
air quality improvements. The Commuter Exchange, a 1991 40 -foot Fleetwood
motor home, functions as a mobile classroom and public information center. In its
dual role, the Commuter Exchange provides services to three specific markets:
Education on the Road — A program designed to provide instruction to
students attending elementary school grades K3 and K4 about the
importance of continuing their ridesharing activities when they become
drivers. Customized take-home newsletters help students share what they
have learned with their parents. The program is presented to 45 elementary
schools every year.
Community Events — The Commuter Exchange represents the Commission's
programs at numerous community events; i.e., Orange Blossom Festival,
12
Thunder Over the Empire, Orange Empire Railway Museum, Tech Expo, etc.
Through its interactive and stationary displays, and provision of a broad
range of collateral materials, the public receives information about the
importance of using alternate modes of transportation.
Employer Outreach — The Commuter Exchange is available to attend local
employer sponsored transportation functions throughout western Riverside
County and serves as a visible backdrop from which to promote the
Commissions' commuter assistance incentive programs and the importance
of ridesharing.
Due to the vehicle's age, a myriad of technical difficulties have arisen over the past
12 months. Vehicle failures continue to interrupt staff's ability to make elementary
school presentations and limit access to community and employer outreach events.
As a result of breakdowns, various scheduled appearances have been cancelled at
the last minute causing a public relations concern. Staff time is also being lost to
deal with the increasing vehicle breakdowns.
In addition, the 12 year old vehicle is in need of significant refurbishment to replace
exterior and interior graphics and information displays worn as a result of public
and student use. Therefore, it is recommended that the Commission take steps to
acquire a new specialty vehicle instead of investing limited resources in the repair
and upgrade of the existing 1991 vehicle.
Selection of a company to manufacture the new Commuter Exchange vehicle will
entail a comprehensive process. Staff recommends a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) approach to select and award a contract through a three -step process:
1. Release of Request for Qualifications — submission of a written pre -
qualifications proposal package will allow staff to evaluate manufacturers'
interest in establishing a business relationship with the Commission and
select a limited number of firms for further project definition and negotiation.
2. Negotiated Procurement — up to three (3) manufacturers will be pre -
qualified and given an opportunity to enter into a negotiated procurement
process. This step will allow further evaluation of the manufacturer's
qualifications, assertion of manufacturing capacity, determination of
feasibility to use compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling configuration,
appraisal of vehicle internal floor layout, and negotiation of financial terms
based on the defined and detail vehicle specifications and design standards.
13
3. Best and Final Offer — upon completion of the negotiated procurement
process, manufacturers will be asked to submit their Best and Final offer
based on the specifications developed in the task described above.
To assure an equitable review process, a selection committee representing a broad
range of expertise, will evaluate proposals based on a variety of criteria including,
but not limited to, experience of the manufacturer, willingness to accommodate the
Commission's needs, cost-effectiveness, dedicated personnel, and delivery
schedule. This proposed RFQ process will allow both the Commission and the
manufacturer to develop the full scope of the project and establish acceptable and
technically feasible vehicle specifications that will determine the final and firm
vehicle price.
One of the considerations in the acquisition of a new Commuter Exchange vehicle
will be the potential use of alternative fuels. The evaluation of feasibility to use
compressed natural gas is consistent with the Commission's commitment to
demonstrate applicable use of clean fuel vehicles. Given the availability of and
access to CNG fueling infrastructure, a consideration of CNG versus conventional
fuel usage will be conducted in consultation with the selected manufacturer and
independent technical consultant.
The new Commuter Exchange vehicle will have a number of improvements. In
addition to the possibility of using CNG fuel, the vehicle will be designed to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, provide computer work station(s) to
support on-line ridematching access, increase internal and external storage
capacity, and additional safety features to assure a safe, educational, and
rewarding experience for all who step inside the Commuter Exchange.
Funding in the amount of $345,000 was included in the FY 03/04 budget for the
purchase of a new 40 -foot vehicle and design and installation of interior displays
and equipment. The budget allocation includes up to $70,000 for CNG fuel
configuration costs should it be determined to be a viable options for this type of
vehicle and its operational needs. Upon completion of the RFQ process, staff will
identify the preferred vehicle configuration and costs and present its
recommendation to the Commission for its final discussion and consideration.

Status Report on the Inter -County CETAP Corridors
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Receive and file the Status Report on the Inter -County CETAP
Corridors as an information item; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County Corridor:
A Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was
prepared in May 2003 to describe the proposed project and the probable
environmental effects of the project to be evaluated in the EIR. The NOP was
circulated to public agencies and other interested parties on May 9, and public
scoping meetings were held on June 4 at the City of Loma Linda Senior Center and
June 5 at the City of Moreno Valley City Hall. The scoping meetings allowed
interested individuals, organizations, and public agencies to discuss issues or
questions they may have about the project. A Scoping Summary Report was
prepared in July 2003 to describe the details of the scoping process and summarize
the issues and comments raised during the scoping period.
The alignment of the core facility is currently being reevaluated and refined based
on input from the public scoping meetings and requests from the City of Loma
Linda City Council. The City. of Loma Linda has requested time to have more
meetings at the local level and plan on taking a city position on the core facility by
the end of the year. At the August meeting of the Bi-County Policy Committee,
members directed that preparation of the draft technical reports continue for the
arterial improvements only, as defined in the NOP. The draft technical reports will
be completed after the alignment of the core facility has been finalized and
necessary data is collected and analyzed for that facility. The Draft EIR will be
15
prepared pending completion of the technical reports in early 2004, leading to
public review of the Draft EIR and additional public meetings. The Final EIR will be
prepared with responses to comments received during the public review period,
followed by certification of the Final EIR by RCTC and SANBAG (anticipated Fall
2004) .
Orange County to Riverside County Corridor:
Staff is continuing to work with OCTA to finalize the Scope of Work for the Major
Investment Study (MIS) which will study the location of a new corridor alignment
between Orange and Riverside Counties as well as alternatives for improving inter -
county travel. At the August 25, 2003 OCTA Board meeting, OCTA staff
requested authorization for development of the cooperative agreement with RCTC
for this study. Action on this item was postponed in order to allow time to
consider a request from the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA)
to be included in the coordination and funding process for the study.
A meeting of the Executive Directors from RCTC, OCTA and the TCA was held to
discuss the MIS and the possible role and participation of the Transportation
Corridor Agency. It was agreed that the TCA will contribute $300,000 toward the
MIS and that the funds will be provided without regard to specific alignment
alternatives or study components. A TCA representative will participate in
selection of the consultant for the study effort and will participate on the various
committees developed for this study. It is anticipated that the OCTA Board will
reconsider the MIS at their September 22 meeting. Assuming approval by their
Board, the MIS is scheduled to begin by the end of the year.

METROLINK COMMUTER
September 8-9, 2003
Dear Riverside Line Passengers:
We would like to update you on our discussions with the Union Pacific Railroad regarding the
on -time performance of your trains. Metrolink continues to monitor on -time performance on a daily
basis and we have noticed improvement in the past week. However, we want to ensure that you are
aware of the issues that have affected the on -time arrival of your trains and the actions we have
taken to resolve the situation.
• Union Pacific is experiencing a shortage of train operating personnel in Southern California.
This shortage has been caused by recent changes in federal law permitting railroad
employees to take retirement at an earlier age. Union Pacific has responded by temporarily
transferring additional personnel from surrounding territories to restore the level of staffing.
Staffing shortages lead to trains "parked" in many areas affecting your train's performance.
• Union Pacific has experienced some increase in train traffic as usually occurs during the
summer months. This is usually due to increased shipments in anticipation of the holiday
shopping season.
• Metrolink has assigned members of our Train Operations Department to spend as much as
time as possible at the Union Pacific dispatching center in San Bernardino observing the
movement of train traffic on your line. Our hope is that our presence and assistance will
encourage the Union Pacific to plan their operation so Metrolink trains are on time. These
observations are summarized on a weekly basis and form the basis of a regular discussion
with Union Pacific local management on how to improve the on time performance of your
trains.
• Metrolink and Union Pacific have also agreed to implement electronic file sharing of
information on each Metrolink train that travels on the Riverside Line. This eliminates the
federally required manual entering of information into the train dispatching system about each
Metrolink train. This will hopefully relieve the Union Pacific dispatchers from this
administrative burden and allow them to focus on keeping your trains operating on time.
Our Board of Directors and executive staff is closely monitoring train service on this line and if any
further deterioration in performance is observed, Metrolink will respond quickly.
For Metrolink information, please call (800) 371 -LINK
or visit www.metrolinktrains.com.
