ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM — SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS 2023 REGIONAL PROGRAM GUIDELINES — SELECTION CRITERIA FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY APPLICATIONS Jenny Chan, Planning and Programming Manager, presented the 2023 Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6, highlighting the following: • ATP Program overview ✓ Administered by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) ✓ Funds bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs to enhance or encourage walking and biking ✓ Competitive program ✓ 25 percent of ATP funds must fund projects in disadvantaged communities • Funding pots ✓ ATP Cycle 6 total $650.7 million for FYs 2023/24 — 2026/27 is available for award ✓ 50 percent of the funds are allocated to the statewide pot ✓ 10 percent of the funds are allocated to small urban and rural areas ✓ 40 percent of the funds are allocated to the large Metropolitan Planning Organizations' (MPO) share • Distribution of funds — Cycle 6 • ATP Cycle 5 20 -Point distribution • ATP Cycle 6 20 -Point distribution with minor revisions to Cycle 5's Point distribution • Program deadlines • Non -Infrastructure (NI) and Planning projects ✓ SCAG not supplementing Sustainable Communities Program ✓ $884,000 available to award ✓ Selection criteria: o Minimum 80 points state score o Maximum award $442,000 ✓ Any remaining NI and Planning funds will be utilized for infrastructure/implementation projects, and vice versa • Next steps 3 RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes June 27, 2022 Page 4 Chair Gregory expressed appreciation to Jenny Chan for her presentation and stated on the decision to award for ATP programs this involves a delicate balance because as Jenny Chan mentioned it is meant to benefit economically disadvantaged entities, but they do have the award criteria. He explained when looking at the award criteria they are meant to recognize projects that are construction ready or near construction ready, but to be able to do that they have to things like only request construction funding, have the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) finished or underway and sometimes the economically disadvantaged entities have trouble with that. Due to not having as much funding as some of the other entities to be able to become that construction ready. Chair Gregory asked how staff works to maintain that balance and if there is some process they follow or other considerations. Jenny Chan replied in prior cycles majority of the ATP funding has gone to the disadvantaged communities even though there is a requirement to have at least 25 percent in prior cycles they have far exceeded that amount. In terms of their specific sort of guidelines in how RCTC's criteria is established they do award points for just starting the environmental process it is not necessarily that they cannot ask for environmental funding. She explained they can still ask for environmental funding, but if the cities can initiate the process, go through the application, and request ATP funding for environmental they still give points for projects like that. Chair Gregory replied that makes sense and he is pleased to hear they do actively advise, and he is certain the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) also advises how to keep that proper balance, so it is not just the wealthier entities that are receiving the ATP funding, but it is actually helping those that are economically challenged. Jenny Chan stated with all their prior cycles they always turn to the TAC for their feedback and comments before staff puts together a proposal for the TAC's consideration. Chair Gregory stated on the planning the proposal is to look at funding and it either gets a statewide score of 80 points or more and asked Jenny Chan if they are anticipating there will be enough planning requests that will meet those criteria or if not, will they come back with an adjustment. Jenny Chan replied in the past Riverside County they do submit quite a few of NI projects and planning projects predominantly they get typically awarded through the state process so not a lot of the applications actually come to the MPO pot. She explained if there is a remaining balance in the NI, they will be able to utilize it for the implementation projects to supplement. In the guidelines they are 4 RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes June 27, 2022 Page 5 proposing to either supplement the implementation projects or if it is the other way around where they have a balance in the implementation projects, they will use that remaining balance over to the NI projects. Jenny Chan explained they do not always have to award partial funding they will try their best to make sure every project gets fully funded. Chair Gregory replied that makes sense and stated he did not realize that it was that fluid and expressed appreciation to Ms. Chan for clarifying. M/S/C (Benoit/Smith) to: 1) Approve the project selection criteria for inclusion in the Metropolitan Planning Organizations' (MPO) Regional Program Guidelines for Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6; 2) Authorize staff to award projects based on the approved selection criteria for the MPO funding; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. 9. ITEM(S) PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR AGENDA There were no items pulled from the consent calendar. 10. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT 10A. Anne Mayer announced on the ATP Program she wanted to continue to encourage the Commissioners and their staff at the local level to participate in these programs and competitions as much as possible. Riverside County has historically done very well in the statewide pot, and they have seen a lot of projects that have been on the books for a long time finally get funding. She strongly encouraged the Commissioners to encourage their staff to stay very active in this program and if they did not submit already in this cycle start getting ready for the next cycle. 10B. At its June Commission meeting Commissioner Middleton had suggested that a CV Rail Ad Hoc Committee be formed by the Chair there were a number of volunteers and staff is working to try to get that scheduled after the July 13 Commission meeting. 10C. At its July 13 Commission meeting staff will be asking the Commissioners to certify the Tier 1 environmental impact report for Coachella Valley -San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service Program. 10D. At the June Commission meeting there was a lot of conversation about having the Commissioners engage with the elected officials at the state level to convey their concerns about some of the legislation going forward. As it was heard from David Knudsen's presentation, they have been successful on a very key bill that was of great concern to the Commission. The committee meeting is tomorrow and then they are on recess so they will all be back in their home districts and if they do get 5 RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes June 27, 2022 Page 6 out of committee tomorrow, they will still have to go to another senate committee when they come back out of recess and then they will go to the Senate Floor. If staff needs to activate any of the Commissioners for that conversation it will probably not be until closer to the moment there is activity in the Senate. 11. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS 11A. Commissioner Middleton expressed appreciation to Anne Mayer and RCTC staff for the work that has been done on legislation during this year. There have been some bills that are significantly important to their county and their region, and they have been on top of those bills thanks to the leadership of Anne Mayer and her team. 11B. Chair Gregory thanked the Commissioners that are here for coming to this meeting, because in the summer there is a lot of competing things to do, and vacations and it certainly shows their dedication they are here. He thanked each and every one of the Commissioners that have given this committee meeting the proper priority in making sure the Commissioners are here in attendance. In response to Chair Gregory's clarification if there will be a July Budget and Implementation Committee meeting, Anne Mayer replied as of now they are certainly hoping to be dark for this committee on July 25 and dark for the Commission meeting in August. They are still on the schedule, but their goal is to give the Commissioners an RCTC holiday after the July 13 Commission meeting. Chair Gregory suggested for the Commissioners to hold it as a save the date on their calendar and hopefully there will be an announcement soon that it maybe dark. 12.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its December 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement with MuniServices, LLC (MuniServices), an Avenu Company, for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on additional sales tax revenues generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax) audit services. As part of the recurring contracts process in June 2018, the Commission approved a five-year extension through June 30, 2023. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only the Measure A sales tax revenues. Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices submitted audits, which reported findings and submitted to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), for review and determination of errors in sales tax reporting related to 1,531 businesses. Through 4Q 2021, the CDTFA approved $14,972,569 of cumulative sales tax revenues recovered for the Commission. If CDTFA concurs with the error(s) for the remaining claims, the Commission will 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. MuniServices provided the Commission with the Quarterly Sales Tax Digest Summary report for 102022. Most of the 102022 Measure A sales tax revenues were received in the second quarter of calendar year 2022, during March 2022 through May 2022, due to a lag in the sales tax calendar. The summary section of the 10 2022 report is attached and includes an overview of California's economic outlook, local results, historical cash collections analysis by quarter, top 25 sales/use tax contributors, historical sales tax amounts, annual sales tax by business category, and five-year economic trend (general retail). Agenda Item 6C 9 Taxable transactions for the top 25 contributors in Riverside County generated 26.9 percent of taxable sales for the benchmark year ended 1Q 2022, slightly less than the benchmark year ended 10 2021 at 27.7 percent. The top 100 tax contributors generated 41 percent for the benchmark year ended 10 2022, comparable to the 41.7 percent for the benchmark year ended 10 2021. In the Economic Category Analysis below, all six categories experienced new highs in the 10 2022 benchmark year compared to the prior eight benchmark years.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff completed a review of the Commission's real property and determined it would be in the Commission's best interest to declare the following four parcels as surplus and offer them for sale. The four parcels are located in the city of Perris and are part of an approved South Perris Industrial Project (Project) which involves developing up to 7.4 million square feet of distribution warehousing uses on three non-contiguous sites, including various street improvements to Case Road, Ellis Avenue, and South Redlands Avenue. Staff has been in communications with the developer pertaining to the proposed acquisitions of the Commission's real property to satisfy the city of Perris requirements. The properties were acquired by the Commission for railway corridor use. The first two properties are adjacent to the northeast side of Case Road and northwest and southeast side of East Ellis Avenue. The Project requires various partial acquisitions of the Agenda Item 6D 18 properties for permanent road improvement purposes involving the widening of East Ellis Avenue and the railroad crossing at the intersection of Case Road and East Ellis Avenue, which are not necessary for the Commission's current or future project purposes. The following table summarizes the properties proposed to be declared surplus. APN Acres Location Portions of 310-160-039 and 330-090-023 0.68 Northeast of Case Road, Northwest and Southeast of East Ellis Avenue in the city of Perris The remaining two properties are northeast of Case Road and southwest of Bonnie Drive and the Highway 74 /1-215 On and Off Ramps. The Project also requires various partial acquisitions of the properties for the widening of Bonnie Drive, realignment of Mapes Road at the intersections of Case Road and Bonnie Drive, along with the necessary infrastructure improvements to support the Project. The following table summarizes the property proposed to be declared surplus. APN Acres Location Portions of 327-210-006 and 327-210-008 0.72 Northeast of Case Road, Southwest Corner of Bonnie Drive and Highways 74 / 1-215 in the city of Perris Process After being declared surplus by the Commission, staff will follow the Right of Way Policies and Procedures Manual (Manual), state laws and any applicable funding requirements to dispose of the property. Staff will prioritize the order of sale based on market conditions. Pursuant to the Surplus Land Act (Government Code 54220 et.seq.) (SLA), and the Manual, a Notice of Availability (NOA) (form attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Resolution) will be delivered to public agencies and developers statutorily entitled to notice of the Commission's decision to declare the property surplus. If interested, the public agency(ies) and/or developers shall notify the Commission in writing of its intent to purchase or lease the land within 60 days after receipt of the Commission's NOA. If the Commission receives a notice of interest in response to the NOA, the Commission must negotiate in good faith for at least 90 days. If no public agency timely expresses interest in the parcel or Commission does not come to terms with an entity who responds to the NOA, then the Commission must submit a package of information and documents to the State's Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) showing that the Commission has complied with the SLA. Within 30 days, the HCD must respond with either a letter of approval or a notice of violation; failure of HCD to timely respond is deemed approval. Upon approval, the parcel may then be offered for sale to the public. Agenda Item 6D 19 After completing the SLA process, the surplus property will then be advertised for sale, utilizing the Commission's website, online publications as well as signage on the property. An Invitation for Bids will be added to the Commission's website and a defined submittal date will be provided. Staff will review the offers received based on the following criteria: 1) Price; and 2) Terms and conditions of sale. All applicants will be required to complete the Commission's Conflict of Interest form. Staff will return to the Commission for approval before entering into a purchase and sale agreement for the properties, if necessary. Staff requests that the Commission declare the following parcels as surplus property and authorize the Executive Director to offer the surplus property for sale pursuant to the SLA and subsequently to the public. APN(s) Ownership Type Vacant/ Improved Acres Portions of 310-160-039 and 330-090-023 Fee Vacant 0.68 Portions of 327-210-006 and 327-210-008 Fee Vacant 0.72 Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. When the property is sold, the buyer's proposed use of the property may require a discretionary permit and CEQA review. The future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT There is no financial impact at this time; however, upon sale of the above referenced properties, revenue for the Commission will be generated and deposited in the Property Sale proceeds account. Attachment: Resolution No. 22-017 Agenda Item 6D 20 ATTACHMENT 1 RESOLUTION NO. 22-017 RESOLUTION OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DECLARING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54221 THAT VARIOUS PORTIONS OF PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE COMMISSION LOCATED AT ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS 310-160-039, 330-090-023, 327-210-006, AND 327-210-008 IN PERRIS, CALIFORNIA, ARE NON-EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND, APPROVING THE FORM OF NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY THEREFOR, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO COMPLY WITH THE SURPLUS LAND ACT, AND FINDING THE FOREGOING CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM CEQA REVIEW WHEREAS, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (the "Commission") is the owner in fee simple of certain portions of parcels of real property identified as Assessor Parcel Numbers 310-160-039, 330-090-023, 327-210-006, and 327-210-008 in Perris, California (together, the "Property"); and WHEREAS, the Commission no longer has any use for the Property; and WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 et seq. (as amended, the "Act"), applies when a local agency disposes of "surplus land," as that term is defined in Government Code section 54221; and WHEREAS, the Property is "surplus land" under the Act, because it is land owned in fee simple by the Commission for which the Commission will take formal action (in the form of adoption of this resolution) in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the Commission's use; and WHEREAS, the Act requires that prior to the disposal of any surplus land, unless an exemption applies, a local agency must issue a Notice of Availability to, among others, affordable housing developers, and thereafter, if any entity submits a qualified Notice of Interest within sixty (60) days of issuance of the Notice of Availability, the local agency must negotiate in good faith for at least ninety (90) days with any such submitting entities; and WHEREAS, the Property is not exempt from the Act; and WHEREAS, a form of Notice of Availability is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and the Property is depicted in Exhibit A attached thereto; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Riverside County Transportation Commission AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution. 21 SECTION 2. The Commission hereby finds and declares that the Property is "surplus land" as used in the Act, because the Property is owned in fee simple by the Commission, and the Property is surplus and is not necessary for the Commission's use. SECTION 3. The Commission hereby approves the form of Notice of Availability substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. SECTION 4. The Commission hereby authorizes the Executive Director or her designee to take all necessary actions to fully comply with the Act without further need to obtain Board approval. SECTION 5. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA"). Commission staff has determined that the designation of this property as non-exempt surplus, approval of the form of NOA, and authorization for the Executive Director to comply with the Act do not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and are therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because such actions do not constitute a "project" as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378. In the alternative, even if the actions contemplated here constituted a "project" under CEQA, they involve the sale of surplus government property, which is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to a Class 12 categorical exemption. Specifically, the government property is not located in an area of statewide, regional or areawide concern as defined in CEQA Guidelines section 15206(b)(4). The Property is not located in any of the following: the Lake Tahoe Basin, the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, the California Coastal Zone, an area within % mile of a wild and scenic river, the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta, the Suisun Marsh, or the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission. Therefore, the Commission's adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA review. Finally, adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Property is sold to a purchaser, and that purchaser proposes a use for the Property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA. SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution. SECTION 7.

BNSF RAILWAY COMPANY - ENGINEERING SERVICES DATE 05-12-27 SCALE AS SHOWN AGENDA ITEM 6E RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: August 22, 2022 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Martha Masters, Senior Management Analyst Jenny Chan, Planning and Programming Manager THROUGH: Jillian Guizado, Planning and Programming Director SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2022/23 Annual Local Transportation Fund Planning Allocations to Western Riverside Council of Governments and Coachella Valley Association of Governments STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Approve an allocation of Local Transportation Fund (LTF) funds for planning in the amount of $1,072,500 for Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) and $585,000 for Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) for efforts identified in each agency's FY 2022/23 LTF Program Objectives/Work Plan (Work Plan) that supports transportation planning programs and functions that are consistent with regional and subregional plans, programs, and requirements; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The LTF established in state law by the Transportation Development Act (TDA) is funded through a quarter of one cent of the state's 7.25 percent sales tax (based on point of sale and returned to source). LTF funds are used to fund transportation planning, operations, and capital projects. The action requested at this time is specifically to allocate the planning funds to the two councils of governments, WRCOG and CVAG. Other LTF allocations, such as those for transit and rail operations and capital projects, were approved by the Commission in June 2022. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are also funded by LTF and are part of the biennial SB 821 Call for Projects the Commission conducts in the spring of odd -numbered years. The LTF funding is distributed by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to counties on a pro rata basis, pursuant to Section 99233.2 of the TDA, providing up to 3 percent of annual revenues to fund transportation planning and programming efforts. The Commission, as the regional transportation planning agency, is legally responsible for apportioning the LTF funds. Based on the projected FY 2022/23 revenues of $130 million, 3 percent of the projected revenue, or $3.9 million, is for planning and programming. By statute, the TDA also requires one half of these LTF funds, or $1.9 million, be allocated for planning activities within the Western Agenda Item 6E 44 Riverside County and the Coachella Valley areas, as determined by the Commission. The distribution formula, as confirmed by the Commission in October 2014, is as follows: Planning Agency Percentage Apportionment/Allocation RCTC 15 $ 292,500 WRCOG 55 1,072,500 CVAG 30 585,000 Total 100 $1,950,000 WRCOG and CVAG submitted their respective FY 2022/23 Work Plans in accordance with existing guidelines. WRCOG's Work Plan is divided into two program areas and includes the following activities: 1) Planning Programs — including, but not limited, to: - Riverside County Model Maintenance and Updates - 2024 Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) - SB 743 Implementation Assistance - Geographic Information System (GIS)/Modeling Services - Grant Writing Assistance Program - Research on the impact of travel and technology on the transportation system - Analysis of Residential Trip Generation - Transportation -related climate change and climate adaptation analyses and planning for the WRCOG subregion - Smart Cities and Alternataive Fuel Vehicle Development and Air Quality Activities 2) Regional Transportation Programs - Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program - Riverside County Transportation Commission Programs CVAG's Work Plan consists of eight main program and project activities: 1) Project Management and Contract Administration; 2) Regional Coordination of Programs; 3) CV Link; 4) CV Sync; 5) Planning for Future Transportation Needs; 6) TUMF Program; 7) Congestion Management/Air Quality Programs; and 8) Working toward the Region's Fair Share of Funding. Agenda Item 6E 45 Staff reviewed the Work Plans and found them to be consistent with the Commission's overall transportation programming and planning objectives and recommends approval. In addition to the program areas and activites, the Work Plans also benefit the respective geographic regions and are consistent with subregional and regional plans, including SCAG's RTP/SCS. WRCOG and CVAG, in conjunction with SCAG, are responsible for subregional planning efforts that implement and are in conformance with the RTP/SCS. Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes Year: FY 2022/23 Amount: $1,950,000 Source of Funds: LTF Budget Adjustment: No GL/Project Accounting No.: 106 65 86205 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 08/04/2022 Attachments: 1) WRCOG FY 2022/23 LTF Program Objectives/Work Plan 2) CVAG FY 2022/23 LTF Program Objectives/Work Plan Agenda Item 6E 46 ATTACHMENT 1 Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Local Transportation Funds Program Objectives The Work Plan for FY 2022/2023 is divided into two Program areas: 1) Planning Programs and 2) Regional Transportation Programs. 1. Planning Programs Local Jurisdictions within WRCOG subregion Southern California Associations of Governments (SCAG) California Air Resources Board South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) California Association of Councils of Governments (CALCOG) Planning: This program includes staff time to develop and work on 12 main projects/program areas. These are listed below and include a brief description. A. Maintain and update the Riverside County Transportation Analysis Model (RIVCOM) RIVCOM is the transportation analysis model completed in June 2021 that provides socio-economic forecasts to reflect SCAG's adopted growth forecasts, updated roadway network and utilizes data from SCAG's most recent Regional Travel Model to ensure consistency. This model is utilized by jurisdictions and consultants to produce roadway forecasts and other units of measurements, such as Vehicle Miles Traveled, needed for analyses. WRCOG will ensure that the model is disseminated to the appropriate parties in a timely fashion. Updates to the model will also be conducted based on new data becoming available and feedback from the users to ensure the model accurately reflects existing and future conditions. B. Support local jurisdictions on 2024 SCAG Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) Staff will provide support to local jurisdictions as the SCAG 2024 RTP/SCS is developed. This will include support to local jurisdictions on socio-economic data (SED) forecasts on an as -needed basis to incorporate into the RTP/SCS. WRCOG anticipates taking a more active role with the development of the SED, as it is a vital component for the RIVCOM, which is heavily utilized by all jurisdictions in Western Riverside County. This active role will include acting as the point -of -contact to schedule meetings with each member agency and its staff to review the SED. WRCOG will also provide resources to the local jurisdictions with assistance in reviewing the preliminary growth forecasts to ensure the forecasts reflect the growth patterns of each local jurisdiction. 1 47 The assistance provided will ensure input from the WRCOG subregion is included in the long-range vision plan that aims to balance future mobility and housing needs with economic, environmental and public health goals. The RTP/SCS is vital for the subregion as it allows Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and its jurisdictions to qualify for federal funding towards transportation projects. The RTP/SCS is supported by a combination of transportation and land use strategies that help the region achieve state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and federal Clean Air Act requirements, preserve open space areas, improve public health and roadway safety, support our vital goods movement industry and utilize resources more efficiently. C. Continue to assist jurisdictions with Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Implementation and Mitigation WRCOG conducted a SB 743 Implementation Study that assisted stakeholders' transition from utilizing level of service methodology for mitigation impacts to vehicle miles traveled. WRCOG will continue to assist jurisdictions, upon request, as VMT implementation progresses in identifying the necessary steps to implement SB 743 and as jurisdictions begin to receive questions from stakeholders and work through the approval process for a development project with VMT as the transportation analysis metric. WRCOG will also continue to conduct due diligence of a regional VMT Mitigation Program to provide options for local jurisdictions to mitigate VMT impacts as a result of project development. This exploration includes a quarterly working group meeting, consisting of RCTC, RTA and local jurisdictions, to discuss options of a potential VMT Mitigation Program. Participation in a potential Program will be on a voluntary basis. D. GIS/Modeling Services WRCOG will provide GIS and transportation modeling services to member agencies of WRCOG. This service is meant to provide GIS/modeling capabilities and products to WRCOG member agencies on an as -needed basis, to enhance GIS/Transportation modeling at agencies currently managing their own systems, and to provide quick, inexpensive services to members without need for additional staff, consultants, software licensing, hardware needs. Possible services include: General Plan amendments, traffic volume maps, traffic model scenarios for new development, project mapping, demographics, service area analysis, and SB 743 implementation. E. Grant Writing Assistance Program WRCOG established the Grant Writing Assistance Program to assist WRCOG member agencies in grant writing assistance on an as -needed basis. The primary focus of this Program will be two -fold. First, WRCOG will prepare a bi-weekly summary of potential grant opportunities that are distributed to WRCOG member agencies and made available upon request. Second, WRCOG will provide technical assistance to WRCOG member agencies with the development of grant applications. WRCOG will limit the technical assistance to transportation and planning grant applications, such as the Active Transportation Program, Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program and the SCAG Sustainable Communities Program. 2 48 F. Research on travel and technology and the impact on the transportation system WRCOG will continue to conduct research on -behalf of jurisdictions in Western Riverside County, as requested, to help prepare and provide information on the various challenges faced in the subregion. Changes in demographics will have an effect on travel conditions. WRCOG will continue to conduct research on travel behavior, especially as it relates to the changing economy, travel pattern and automation in order to highlight potential challenges the subregion may face and the opportunities jurisdictions should strategically be in position to leverage. WRCOG will continue to work to ensure this information is disseminated to jurisdictions and stakeholders through its Committee structure and is presented at forums, conferences, and panels where suitable. G. Assembly Bill 602 Implementation — Analysis of Residential Trip Generation AB 602 requires a local agency that conducts an impact fee nexus study to either calculate a fee levied or imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units, or make specified findings explaining why square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate the fees. The TUMF Program currently charges fees on a per unit basis. WRCOG will look into the relationship between development impact fees, travel behavior and residential unit size to analyze whether charging fees on a unit size basis, compared to per unit, will cause an effect on residential uses. WRCOG is proposing to assess the differing factors of the residential TUMF Program fee structure. The TUMF Program and fee structure is based on vehicular trip generation, so the study must assess vehicle trip generation. However, the study will also look at other potential factors that may affect travel behavior from residential land uses, such as price, demographic factors, location. H. Research, agenda preparation, and staffing for WRCOG Planning Directors Committee The research, agenda preparation, and staffing for the WRCOG Planning Directors Committee will support WRCOG member agencies to obtain information, access to research, and awareness of applicable grant opportunities, as well as foster discussions between WRCOG member jurisdictions regarding the latest challenges and opportunities facing the WRCOG subregion, in order to achieve more cost effective and efficient solutions to planning -related matters on a monthly basis. I. Research, agenda preparation, and staffing for WRCOG Public Works Committee The research, agenda preparation, and staffing for the WRCOG Public Works Committee will support WRCOG member agencies to obtain information, access to research, and awareness of applicable grant opportunities, as well as foster discussions between WRCOG member jurisdictions regarding the latest challenges and opportunities facing the WRCOG subregion, in order to achieve more cost effective and efficient solutions to public works or engineering -related matters on a monthly basis. J. Outreach for WRCOG Programs and activities and engagement with WRCOG members, partner agencies, and stakeholders Outreach for WRCOG Programs and activities and partner agencies will include assisting local jurisdictions and education institutions on the various WRCOG Programs 3 49 and subregional challenges faced. Housing challenges the subregion faces are topics discussed at the various WRCOG Committees so staff will focus on topics and issues related to housing. This focus will include conducting outreach to the subregion's legislatures and their staff to provide updates on the housing challenges that local jurisdictions and agencies are facing. Outreach will continue for the WRCOG Public Service Fellowship, which encourages students to seek careers in public policy and local government by gaining meaningful, hands-on experience at WRCOG member agencies. In addition, staff will continue to promote and attend member jurisdiction/agency events throughout the year. WRCOG will continue to participate in meetings and working groups with SCAG and coordinate with SCAG on a regular basis. WRCOG will continue to act as a liaison for the subregion and to disseminate relevant information at the appropriate times to local jurisdictions. K. Assistance to local jurisdictions on climate -related hazards and climate adaptation analyses and planning for the WRCOG subregion. Continue overseeing studies and planning efforts to identify effects of climate change to the subregion and opportunities to mitigate these effects, particularly as it relates to transportation infrastructure. Grant funding to support climate -related activities is increasing and will become even more prominent as it is more of a focus for state and federal agencies; WRCOG will continue to assist local jurisdictions in attaining grant funding for these activities. Past WRCOG efforts, such as the risk assessments performed on a sample of vulnerable transportation assets in the subregion or identifying the needs of disadvantaged or vulnerable communities can be leveraged to attain the climate adaptation planning and implementation grant funding. The goal is to assist jurisdictions better plan for project prioritization and investment on the transportation system. Staff will also continue to participate in the Inland Southern California Climate Collaborative (ISC3). ISC3 is a diverse, cross-sectoral network of agencies, organizations, companies, and institutions working together to advance equitable solutions to create a resilient and thriving Inland Southern California in the face of climate related events. L. Smart Cities and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Development, and Air Quality: Activities include: a) Research and implementation of Smart Cities technologies for local transportation infrastructure including the possible development of a regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program for Western Riverside County. b) Provide outreach to the jurisdictions regarding air quality issues and funding opportunities. c) Support WRCOG Clean Cities and Programs that WRCOG has developed to assist jurisdictions in the purchase of alternative fuel vehicles and the development of the supporting infrastructure. Grant funding for alternative fuel vehicles and the development of infrastructure needed to support these vehicles is increasing and is becoming more of a focus for state and federal agencies. The goal is to ensure local jurisdictions are adequately supported to submit applications in order for the subregion to provide the necessary infrastructure for alternative fuel vehicles. 4 50 d) Continued staff participation in SCAQMD activities, rule -making, funding opportunities, and the SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan Advisory Group that will review and make recommendations regarding the development of the 2022 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). 2. Regional Transportation Programs RCTC Riverside Transit Agency Caltrans SCAG CALCOG This program includes staff time to develop and work on two main projects/program areas. These are listed below and include a brief description. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program: This Program includes staff time to administer the TUMF Program, which includes but is not limited to the following: A. Program contract/agreement administration: Review, coordinate, and finalize Reimbursement Agreements with member agencies for funding allocations based on five-year Zone Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). B. Conduct TUMF Nexus Study California Assembly Bill 1600 requires that all local agencies in California establish a nexus or reasonable relationship between the development impact fee's use and the type of project for which the fee is required. In accordance with this requirement, WRCOG plans to commence an analysis with the TUMF Program to ensure the adequacy of the developer impact fees and the projects included in the TUMF Network beginning in fall 2021. C. Public outreach/information: Prepare the TUMF Annual Report detailing collections for fiscal year and projects being funded with collections. Develop Press Releases for the TUMF Program highlighting major milestones, groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings. Filming of groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings for TUMF funded projects. Develop and purchase of signage for TUMF funded projects. D. TUMF Zone Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): Preparation and approval of five-year Zone TIPs with programmed funding for delivery of TUMF projects. Convene meetings of the Zone at the request of member agencies for funding additions and adjustments. Review funding requests to ensure that allocations are within limits of the Nexus Study. E. Preparation of annual adjustment for construction costs: 5 51 Per the TUMF Administrative Plan, annual review of the construction cost index adjustment to the TUMF for consideration by the WRCOG Executive Committee. Preparation of the adjustment to the TUMF Network and develop documents for review by the WRCOG Committee structure. If approved by the WRCOG Executive Committee, prepare TUMF Ordinance/Resolution for member agency approval and assist local jurisdictions and stakeholders with fee adjustment implementation. F. Maintain TUMF payment portal: WRCOG collects TUMF on behalf of agencies that have approved a TUMF Ordinance Amendment with the option to delegate fee collection responsibility to WRCOG. To provide efficient and effective calculation and collection of TUMF, WRCOG developed a portal for member agency staff to submit calculation requests and for developers to make payments that will require maintenance and revisions. G. Work with developers on credit and reimbursement agreements: Coordinate with member agencies Credit Agreements with developers to ensure all policies and procedures are in place prior to execution of agreements. If necessary, convene meetings with applicable stakeholders to memorialize eligible expenses, maximum allocations of the Nexus Study and reconciliation of projects costs. H. Review available data for requests made by stakeholders regarding TUMF calculations: At the request of a stakeholder, review available data specific to land uses that may generate trips that do not typically fall within the standard TUMF land uses. RCTC Programs: This Program includes staff time to administer and assist RCTC as it relates to transportation planning and air quality programs, which includes but is not limited to the following: a) Participation in TUMF Program tasks as needed to assist RCTC in the implementation of the Regional TUMF Program. b) Participate in evaluation committees as requested; outreach assistance with RCTC's Programs and goals, and other planning related tasks as determined in consultation with the RCTC Executive Director. 6 52 ATTACHMENT 2 CVAG LTF Work Plan FY2022/23 Big Picture Improving the Regional Arterial Network Since 1989, CVAG has been responsible for regional trans- portation planning in the Coachella Valley and plans for all people of all ages using many modes of transporta- tion. CVAG cooperates with its member jurisdictions to develop and manage progressive regional road and conges- tion mitigation programs. Some of its notable projects include overhauling six interchanges along the Interstate 10 Improvement Corridor. The priorities are regularly reviewed and encompassed in the Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS) and the associated Regional Arterial Cost Estimate (RACE) and Active Transportation Plan (ATP). In recent months, CVAG has joined member jurisdictions in celebrating several project comple- tions. In the upcoming fiscal year, CVAG's Transportation Department will continue to work with memberjurisdic- tions to advance individual projects, including regional active transportation projects, and support efforts to secure outside funding to reduce the impact on regional and local resources. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program The TUMF program began in Fiscal Year 1989/1990 as a way to generate additional funds required for necessary improvements to the regional transportation system. Local jurisdictions may choose not to collect TUMF. However, jurisdictions not collecting TUMF forfeit their share of local Measure A funds to the regional arterial program. CVAG saw a steady increase in local Measure A funding received by CVAG's member jurisdictions until the Great Recession, which began in 2008 and resulted in significant downturns in revenues generated. TUMF, like all development impact fees, requires a nexus to be demonstrated between the proposed development and the impacts to be mitigated. In TUMF's case, the assessment is based on the number of vehicle trips new development or site improvements may generate. CV Link CVAG has been working on CV Link for the past decade. The project is a major innovation in alternative transporta- tion that will provide a safe route to walk, run, bike, or use low -speed electric vehicles, such as golf carts. CV Link is expected to provide significant environmental, health, and economic benefits to generations of current and future resi- dents and visitors. CV Link will ultimately span more than 40 miles across the Coachella Valley. To date, about seven miles of the project have been built in the cities of Cathedral City, Palm Desert, and Palm Springs. When the current construction is complete, more than half of the project will be built. Construction will continue this year in the cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella, as well as unincorporated Riverside County. In addition to bridges, this stage of construction includes undercrossings, which are a vital safety feature that will allow the CV Link users to go under major roadways to avoid traditional vehic- ular traffic. CV Sync Synchronizing the traffic signals across the Coachella Valley has been a longstanding goal at CVAG. The design and engineering of CV Sync started in 2016, and the work was later expanded to encompass upgrading all traffic 53 Page 1 • -.-, • controllers to the same standard. Construction of CV Sync's first phase — synchronizing signals on Highway 111, Washington Street, and Ramon Road — is underway and will be completed this coming fiscal year. The second phase, which includes another 21 corridors, is expected to start in Fiscal Year 2022/23. CV Sync will have technol- ogy that allows all cities to communicate and coordinate in real-time to manage traffic flow, especially useful during large events that draw hundreds of thousands of tourists to the Coachella Valley. This project will also deploy fiber-op- tic broadband technology throughout the Coachella Valley, which can help to unlock federal and state funding oppor- tunities. The project spans the Coachella Valley but does not extend into the City of Rancho Mirage, which previ- ously secured funding to do its own signal synchroniza- tion project. Core Program Areas The Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2022/23 is separated into the following core program areas: Project Management and Contract Administration The Transportation Department leads the implementa- tion of the Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS), Regional Arterial Cost Estimate (RACE), and Active Transportation Program (ATP). The department also provides updates to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and other transportation plans in partnership with member jurisdictions. This role includes staff time to conduct project oversight (design, environmental, construc- tion, and close-out), preparation of reimbursement agree- ments for regional arterial, interchange, and bridge proj- ects, review and approval of project billings in accordance with the scope of work, and participation in project develop- ment team meetings and associated staff reports. In recent years, the Transportation Department has conducted cash flow analysis for regional projects and provided recom- mendations on maximizing opportunities at the state and federal levels. Regional Coordination of Programs CVAG works closely with its partners — including the Riverside County Transportation Commission — to support the Riverside County Congestion Management Program, analyze traffic patterns through the traffic count program, and advance regional transportation projects. Additionally, CVAG supports the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee and efforts for County -wide SB 821 and Local Streets & Roads funding. CVAG also has helped advance the Coachella Valley Passenger Rail Service Development Plan. Coordination with RCTC will be further formalized in the coming months when both agencies bring forth an updated memorandum of understanding to their respective governing bodies. Additionally, staff time is used to support the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), support the implementation of the CVAG Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS), and monitor and examine the impacts of implementing state policies. TPPS activities support the regional project construction program, including staff time to develop an annual prioritized list of construc- tion projects and required financial resources. CVAG also supports the Southern California Association of Governments' programs, including providing input to the Federal and Regional Transportation Improvement Plans (FTIP and RTIP) and assisting SCAG with transportation modeling refinements. CV Link The largest segment of this 40 -plus mile active transpor- tation corridor is now under construction. At the same 54 Page 2 time, resources are dedicated to conducting project over- sight of services needed for future phases (environmen- tal compliance, right-of-way, and phased construction of later segments). CV Sync Phase I of the valley -wide signal synchronization project will be completed this year, improving travel along Highway 111, Washington, and Ramon. Staff time includes conduct- ing project oversight of consultant services (environmental compliance, right-of-way, and phased construction plans), review of project billings, participation in project develop- ment team meetings, and preparing associated reports. CVAG is finalizing construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates to launch construction of Phase 2 in this fiscal year. Planning For Future Transportation Needs This area involves support to multiple programs focus- ing on key project areas. These areas include staff time and project management to maintain and provide input for GIS Information Services, the countywide transportation demand model, the regional arterial traffic count program, and transportation legislation review and analysis. CVAG staff also provides regional land use information to CVAG jurisdictions, developers, SCAG, and Caltrans. The county- wide transportation model involves support for the RIVCOM transportation model for forecasting projected transporta- tion system needs to the year 2039. Implementing The TUMF Program CVAG continues to dedicate staff time to support the TUMF and TUMF/GIS Interface programs. TUMF program activ- ities include staff time to update the program, monitor its implementation in member jurisdictions, perform annual fiscal reviews of building permits and monthly TUMF collec- tions, research, analyze and prepare reports for TUMF appeals, enter TUMF collections in the TUMF database, to meet with developers on request to review potential TUMF assessments, and to perform special TUMF analyses upon request. The TUMF/GIS Interface program requires support for continuing the development of integrating the TUMF collection process with electronic transmission of new development information for land use coverages and coor- dinating with RCTC on TUMF compliance. Congestion Management /Air Quality Programs The Transportation Department provides support for air quality programs, including the regional street sweeping program. CVAG also helps address State Implementation Plan (SIP) conformance to regional projects. Fighting for the Region's Fair Share of Funding With costs escalating on projects, major sources of reve- nue for many of CVAG's traditional transportation projects are drying up. CVAG staff has recently provided committees with cash flow projections that show declines in Measure A sales tax revenue and TUMF revenues. State and federal resources are simply not keeping up with the demand. For example, the FY 2020 estimates from the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) have been reduced by 82 percent and the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) is beyond oversubscribed, having a 20 -year backlog of projects waiting to be funded. CVAG has been actively tracking the debated transportation infrastructure funds at the state and federal levels and has recently engaged lobbying firms to help secure the region's fair share of the funding. Anticipated Milestones for FY 2022/23 » Construct segments of CV Link in the Cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella, and prepare bid packages for the next stretches of the project. » Transform travel along major arterials and posi- tion the Coachella Valley as a smart region by finish- ing CV Sync Phase 1 construction along Highway 111, Ramon, and Washington and starting construction on CV Sync Phase 2. » Update the Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS) to align with statewide trends and requirements (including vehicle miles traveled as a consideration), with anticipated completion in FY 2023/24. » Complete planning and design of low-water crossings identified in the recent Flood and Blowsand Study, which identified more cost-effective alternatives to expensive bridges and overpasses in the western Coachella Valley). » Updating formula funding distribution agreements with the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) to secure the equitable distribution of state and federal funding for the Coachella Valley. » Work with member jurisdictions to identify funding for and advance regional roadway, bridge, and inter- change projects to improve travel and goods movement across the region. 55 Page 3 AGENDA ITEM 6F RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: August 22, 2022 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Monica Morales, Senior Management Analyst THROUGH: Lorelle Moe -Luna, Multimodal Services Director SUBJECT: Federal Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021 Federal Transit Administration's Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Receive and file an update on the Federal Fiscal Years (FFY) 2020 and 2021 Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The FTA Section 5310 grant program was established in 1975 and has been administered by Caltrans since its inception. The goal of the 5310 program is to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation services and expanding the transportation mobility options available. Eligible applicants include private non-profit organizations and public agencies. FTA Section 5310 funds are divided between two types of projects: traditional and expanded. Traditional projects include capital projects such as vehicles and related equipment and must comprise at least 55 percent of the available funding. Expanded projects may include capital and operating expenses that exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, improve access to fixed -route services, provide alternatives to public transportation that assist seniors and individuals with disabilities and comprise up to 45 percent of available funding. Projects may utilize 5310 funds for up to 100 percent of their eligible project costs. There are three (3) FTA Section 5310 funding categories: rural, small urbanized areas (UZA), and large UZA areas. The UZAs are defined by population and grouped by the United States Census Bureau. Rural areas have a population of less than 50,000 people, a small UZA has a population greater than 50,000 but less than 200,000 people, and anything larger than a population of 200,000 is a large UZA. Caltrans combines the funding for the rural and small urban areas to administer a competitive statewide call for projects. The large UZA category is also competitive, but funds for each large UZA remain in the respective regions. In Riverside County, there are three (3) Census designated large UZAs: Riverside -San Bernardino, Murrieta-Temecula-Menifee, Agenda Item 6F 56 and Cathedral City -Indio. As the grant program administrator, Caltrans develops a project management plan, which establishes the guidelines, application process, federal and grant administration requirements, and the selection and award of projects. Although Caltrans administers the program, the Commission is very engaged and plays an important role in the process. The Commission is responsible for developing a Public Transit - Human Services Coordinated Plan (Coordinated Plan) every four years as required by FTA. The Coordinated Plan is used to identify transit needs and strategies, with particular focus on seniors, persons with disabilities, and those that are truly needy. Commission staff provides concurrence that the proposed projects for the 5310 program are consistent with the Coordinated Plan. The Commission also offers technical assistance to applicants by holding workshops, reviewing applications, and preparing recipients for federal grant administration requirements. This not only helps strengthen the applications from the county, but also builds capacity amongst the service providers and leverages other Commission -funded programs such as the Measure A Specialized Transit Program. Lastly, the Commission programs the successful projects into the Federal Transportation Improvement Program. On January 3, 2022, Caltrans issued a call for projects for the FFYs 2020 and 2021 FTA Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program with applications due to Caltrans on March 2, 2022. Table 1 below shows the available funding for the small urban and rural competitive call for projects. There was a total amount of $11,402,172 available for the small urban areas statewide and $4,593,820 available for rural areas statewide. Table 1. Available Funding for Small Urban and Rural, FFY 2020 and 2021 SMALL URBAN AND RURAL (STATEWIDE) Available Funding by UZA Statewide Small Urban Statewide Rural Areas (All Non -Urban Areas Eligible) FFY 2020 & FFY 2021 Two -Year Funding Available $11,402,172 4,593,820 Under the small urban and rural call for projects, one (1) applicant submitted four (4) projects totaling $256,800 from Riverside County. Unfortunately, the Riverside County agency was unsuccessful in receiving project awards; however, may still have an opportunity to be funded as it was ranked first on the contingency list as shown in Attachment 1. Small urban and rural awards were adopted by the California Transportation Commission on May 18, 2022. Table 2 below shows the available funding for the large UZA areas in Riverside County. There was a total of $3,167,537 million available for programming for the FFYs 2020 and 2021 grant cycle. Agenda Item 6F 57 Table 2. Available Funding for Large UZA Areas, FFY 2020 and 2021 LARGE URBANIZED AREA Available Funding by UZA Western Riverside — San Bernardino UZA Coachella Valley — Indio — Cathedral City UZA Murrieta — Temecula — Menifee UZA TOTAL FUNDS Available for Riverside County FFY 2020 & FFY 2021 Two -Year Funding Available $1,588,163 $862,665 $716,709 $3,167,537 Eight (8) agencies within Riverside County submitted grant applications requesting $3,424,338 for 16 projects. This includes 15 replacement vehicles and/or expansion vehicles, five (5) operating projects, and three (3) mobility management projects. A total of 16 projects were awarded. It should be noted one project for Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) was only partially funded. Caltrans provided final awards on July 8, 2022, as highlighted in Attachment 2. FISCAL IMPACT: This is a receive and file item to update the Commission on the awarded projects in the program.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission's digital communication efforts continue to expand, allowing residents and other stakeholders to learn about transportation projects, programs, and initiatives affecting Riverside County. The External Affairs staff monitors and measures these efforts to understand how audiences respond to information that is presented. This Quarterly Public Engagement Metrics Report is a data -driven approach to monitoring progress toward public outreach goals, analyzing the effectiveness of these efforts, and providing transparency into how the Commission uses resources to engage with the public. This report covers the second quarter of 2022, from April to June. This report summarizes public engagement activities and includes a summary graphic. The metrics show significantly increased engagement across platforms and overall positive sentiment. During this quarter, digital advertising increased compared to the previous quarter, which affected engagement, reach, and sentiment. Paid advertisement was focused on advocacy efforts relating to proposed state legislation (AB 2438 and AB 2237), mobility solutions, IE Commuter, and Metrolink marketing. This quarter's report includes five sets of data: 1) Metrics for RCTC's overall public engagement activities including overall public sentiment on social media; social media followers, engagement, and reach; email notifications; website use and access; and website top pages visited. 2) Metrics for the Route 60 Truck Lanes Project including email activity, website sessions, and social media. This will be the last metrics report for the Route 60 Truck Lanes Project. Agenda Item 6G 67 3) Metrics for the Interstate 15 Railroad Canyon Interchange Project including email activity, website sessions, text messages, and social media.

RCTC Overall Public Engagement 1) Social Media a. Overall, public sentiment was positive.

The page reached 1,521,409 unique users for the quarter, an increase of 17% from last quarter's 1,298,810. Several paid reach and engagement campaigns likely led to these large increases combined with high quality posts. c. Twitter: The page showed a 4% increase in followers, from 1,408 to 1,469.

Visitors who accessed the website directly (keying in rctc.org) totaled 19.2%. This reflects a change from past behavior, in which most visitors accessed the website directly. Users who reached the website through a search engine dropped slightly to 28.7%. Others reached the website via other website referrals (3.6%) and email Agenda Item 6G 68 links (2.6%).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) had its beginnings under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which is federal law. On July 26, 1990, ADA was signed and established as a law by then -President George H.W. Bush. The ADA is a comprehensive civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability and protects the rights of individuals with disabilities in employment, access to state and local government services, places of public accommodation, transportation, and other important areas of American life. The purpose of ADA is "to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities" and "to provide clear, strong, and consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities." The ADA consists of five titles: 1. Title I Employment 2. Title II Public Entities and Public Transportation 3. Title I I I Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities 4. Title IV Telecommunications 5. Title V Miscellaneous Provisions Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and ADA Title II requires any public entity with 50 or more employees to develop an ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan, regardless of receiving federal financial assistance. ADA Title 11 § 35.105 Self -evaluation, requires that: (a) A public entity shall, within one year of the effective date of this part, evaluate its current services, policies, and practices, and the effects thereof, that do not or may not meet the Agenda Item 7 76 requirements of this part and, to the extent modification of any such services, policies, and practices is required, the public entity shall proceed to make the necessary modifications. (b) A public entity shall provide an opportunity to interested persons, including individuals with disabilities or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, to participate in the self - evaluation process by submitting comments. (c) A public entity that employs 50 or more persons shall, for at least three years following completion of the self -evaluation, maintain on file and make available for public inspection: (1) A list of the interested persons consulted; (2) A description of areas examined, and any problems identified; and (3) A description of any modifications made. (d) If a public entity has already complied with the self -evaluation requirement of a regulation implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, then the requirements of this section shall apply only to those policies and practices that were not included in the previous self- evaluation. Public entities, such as RCTC, are subject to Title II of the ADA. Title II of the ADA covers programs, activities, and services of public entities. It is divided into two subtitles; Subtitle A of Title II, is implemented by the Department of Justice's Title II regulation, and Subtitle B, covers public transportation, is implemented by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Title II regulation. The document is an assessment of RCTC's facilities to identify administrative, programmatic, and physical barriers that need to be rectified to meet the requirements of ADA Title II subtitles A and B. For transportation -related ADA compliance on local public right of way, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) delegates oversight authority of ADA Title II to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Furthermore, as subrecipients of United States Department of Transportation funding, public agencies are required to self -certify their compliance with this requirement in order to continue receiving federal funds. RCTC annually submits an ADA self - certification form to Caltrans. In early 2021, after RCTC met the 50 or more -employee threshold, staff requested Bechtel, its program management consultant, to assemble a team of Licensed Architects, including California licensed, trained in Title II requirements to develop the ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan. The ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan is intended to identify any programmatic and physical barriers that may limit accessibility for persons with disabilities. The ADA self -evaluation included a review of RCTC's facilities, internal policies and procedures, contracting methods, training, and requirements for their consultants, contractors, and service providers. ADA Self -Evaluation In compliance with ADA Title II § 35.105 (a), the ADA self -evaluation commenced with the survey of 14 RCTC departments to assess the level of ADA requirement awareness and identification of any physical or programmatic barriers to persons with disabilities. The team also performed field inspections of 16 facilities owned, occupied, or operated by RCTC across Riverside County. These facilities included: Agenda Item 7 77 • Nine (9) Commuter Rail Stations • Perris Valley Line rail corridor • Offices and buildings supporting the 91 and 15 express lanes • RCTC administrative offices on Lemon Street and 10th Street in downtown Riverside The team conducted field measurements and assessments utilizing the following codes and standards to identify if any physical barriers to persons with disabilities existed: • Department of Justice (DOJ) 2010 ADA Standards • 1991 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (where applicable) • Department of Transportation (DOT) 2004 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) • Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) • Public Right -of -Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) — Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) design guidelines for pedestrian facilities in public rights of way • DIB-82-06 — project design per Caltrans Highway Design Manual • Title 24 California Building Standards Code Transition Plan The ADA evaluations produced findings that identified compliance and deficiencies related to programmatic and physical barriers. The team combined the findings from the review of the programmatic and physical barriers and developed the Transition Plan which identifies the structural (physical) changes required to make RCTC's buildings and facilities accessible. In addition, the Transition Plan contains an Action Plan which identifies non-structural solutions to programmatic and physical barriers. The actions include recommendations for modifications to RCTC's policies, procedures, and training to ensure compliance with ADA requirements. The tables below provide a summary of the number of barriers identified during the self -evaluation. RCTC Process / Procedures Evaluated Number of Programmatic Barrier Identified General Nondiscrimination 28 Effective communication 10 Website Accessibility 5 Administrative Requirements 3 Some of the programmatic barriers identified included staff not being aware of all the ADA requirements applicable to their area of responsibility. This can be addressed by focused training on ADA requirements and providing all staff with RCTC's existing policies and procedures that cover ADA requirements.

Public Review of the ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan In compliance with ADA Title II § 35.105 (b), a public review and comment period was conducted. Listed below are organizations representing individuals with disabilities, that were notified by postal mail and email of the release of the self -evaluation and that were invited to participate by submitting comments. The public review and comment period was from April 18, 2022, through May 28, 2022.

A presentation was made to RCTC's Citizens and Specialized Transit Advisory Committee on April 11, 2022. One comment was received from the Independent Living Partnership. The comment confirmed receipt of the notice and included a link to their news release on a study: "Transportation Bill of Rights Issued for Persons with Disabilities." RCTC received no other comments. Lastly, in compliance with ADA Title II § 35.105 (c), the 2022 Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan has been updated to reflect the public review and comment period, and the report will be maintained on file for at least three years for public inspection on RCTC's website. In addition, a physical copy will be available at RCTC's office. ADA Title II § 35.105 (d), noted as a requirement above, is not applicable as this document is the first self -evaluation conducted by the Commission. Next Steps Staff recommends the Commission direct staff to implement the 2022 ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan. If directed to do so, staff will address the deficiencies found during the self - evaluation by following the recommendations. The Transition Plan and Action Plan lay out a schedule to implement the corrective actions as funding becomes available and with some of the Agenda Item 7 80 physical deficiencies addressed via RCTC's annual facilities maintenance plan recommendations were provided in the Transition Plan to address the physical barriers which also included estimated construction costs. The estimated total construction cost to address the physical barriers is approximately $2 million dollars. Fiscal Impact This item is not anticipated to have a fiscal impact, but any specific improvements associated with the corrective actions that will have fiscal impact will be brought back to the Commission for approval.

All buildings and facilities that fall under the authority of RCTC are covered as part of this Self -Evaluation, including employee facilities. The ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan are requirements mandated by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which is a federal law, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II for any public entity having 50 or more employees, regardless of receiving federal financial assistance. RCTC is a public entity with over 50 employees and is a recipient of federal funds. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 28, Chapter I, Part 35, also referred to as 28 CFR §35 implements subtitle A of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADA Amendments Act). 28 CFR §35 relates to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in state and local government services. The ADA Self -Evaluation is required by 28 CFR §35.105. The ADA Transition Plan is required by 28 CFR §35.150 (d). The ADA Self -Evaluation examines services, programs, policies, practices, buildings, and facilities to identify problems or barriers that may limit accessibility by persons with disabilities and describes potential compliance solutions. The self -evaluation of programs and policies is based on a review of RCTC's policies and procedures, model contract documents, response to questionnaires, and input from staff liaisons from various RCTC departments. The necessary nonstructural changes resulting from the self -evaluation are included in an Action Plan attached to this report. The self -evaluation of buildings and facilities that fall under the authority of RCTC is based upon accessibility surveys that were conducted for each of their 16 facilities. The ADA Transition Plan attached to this report contains a description of structural changes required to make their buildings and facilities accessible by removing architectural barriers to access that were identified during these surveys. The self -evaluation and action plan, and transition plan process is detailed in Figure 1. 01 July, 2022 $6 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Self -Evaluation Transition Plan (Addressing Physical Barriers at Each Facility) • Action Plan (Addressing Non -Physical Barriers in Process and Procedures) Figure 1 — ADA Self -Evaluation Process A schedule for completing the modifications, estimated cost of each modification, and record of planned completion dates for the modifications are included as mandated by ADA Title II regulations. Additionally, ADA Title II mandates that public entities shall provide an opportunity to, and maintain on file a list of, interested persons, including individuals with disabilities or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, to participate in the development of the transition plan by submitting comments. A copy of the Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan was made available for public review and comment between April 18 ,2022 through May 28, 2022. In response, one email was received from Richard Smith, CEO of the Independent Living Partnership. The email confirmed receipt of the notice and it included a link to their news release on a study "Transportation Bill of Rights Issued for Persons with Disabilities." No comments were provided on RCTC's ADA Self -Assessment and Transition Plan.

On July 26, 1990, ADA was signed and established as a law by then President George H.W. Bush. The ADA is a comprehensive civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability and it protects the rights of individuals with disabilities in employment, access to State and local government services, places of public accommodation, transportation, and other important areas of American life. The purpose of the ADA is "to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities" and "to provide clear, strong, and consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities." The ADA consists of five titles: 1. Title I Employment, 2. Title 11 Public Entities and Public Transportation, 3. Title 111 Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities, 4. Title IV Telecommunications, and 5. Title V Miscellaneous Provisions. Title 11 of the ADA, Part 35 relates to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in State and local government services. Public entities, such as RCTC, are subject to Title 11 of the ADA. This self - evaluation is based on ADA Title II mandates. Title II of the ADA covers programs, activities, and services of public entities. It is divided into two subtitles. Subtitle A of Title II, which is implemented by the Department of Justice's Title 11 regulation and Subtitle B, covering public transportation, which is implemented by the Department of Transportation's Title II regulation This document is an assessment of RCTC's facilities to identify administrative, programmatic, and physical barriers that need to be rectified to meet the requirements of ADA Title II subtitles A and B. 3.2 Introduction to RCTC The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) provides transportation solutions that connect the lives of Riverside County commuters. RCTC is the fiscally -responsible steward of Measure A sales tax dollars, which fund transportation improvements that Riverside County voters have approved by more than a two-thirds vote. RCTC is governed by a total of 34 elected representatives: one from each city council and all five County Supervisors within Riverside County, plus a Governor's appointee, typically a representative of Caltrans. RCTC is operated by a small team of public servants who are charged with delivering on Measure A's promises to the taxpayers of Riverside County. RCTC makes major improvements to highway corridors such as: State Routes 60, 79, and 91 and Interstates 10, 15, and 215. RCTC also provides funding assistance to local communities to improve local streets and roads, and for railroad overpasses and underpasses to eliminate frustrating traffic delays, safety hazards, and harmful pollution as trains travel through neighborhoods. 01 July, 2022 il0 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan RCTC administers state and federal funds to Riverside County communities to improve sidewalks, bike lanes, and accessibility for persons with disabilities. RCTC owns the Perris Valley Line rail corridor and owns and operates the nine commuter rail stations in Riverside County. RCTC funds public bus, rail, and specialized transit services in Riverside County, helping commuters, the elderly, disabled, and veterans, working together with partners at Metrolink, SunLine Transit Agency, Riverside Transit Agency, and municipal and nonprofit transit organizations. RCTC also funds call boxes on state highways in Riverside County to assist motorists in emergency situations. On January 1, 2021, RCTC became the managing agency of the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA). The RCA was formed in 2004 to implement the largest multiple species habitat conservation plan (MSHCP) in the nation. For RCTC, effective habitat preservation has been a critical mitigation element for many of its projects. The consolidation of RCTC and RCA forms a direct link between conservation and transportation improvements. Public roads connect all facilities owned, operated, or used by ROTC. However, RCTC is only responsible for maintenance of the property enclosed within the property boundary limits shown in Chapter 6. 3.3 RCTC's ADA Program RCTC is committed to providing safe, reliable, courteous, accessible, and user-friendly services. To ensure equality and fairness, RCTC is committed to making reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, and procedures to avoid discrimination and ensure programs and services are accessible to individuals with disabilities. RCTC follows the five key administrative requirements of ADA Title I I , which are: 1. Designate a person responsible for all ADA activities. 2. Conduct and implement a self -evaluation which includes development of the Action Plan. 3. Conduct and implement a Transition Plan. 4. Create and implement a Grievance Procedure. 5. Provide notice to the public about how ADA applies to RCTC'S programs, services, and activities. The following paragraphs demonstrate how these five requirements are being met. RCTC's current ADA Coordinator, who is responsible for all ADA activities, is: Aaron Hake, 4080 Lemon Street, 3rd Floor, Riverside, CA. Phone: 951-787-7141 Email: ahake@rctc.org This report presents the Self -Evaluation that was conducted and is being implemented as per Attachment 9, Action Plan. The former ADA Coordinator John Standiford oversaw the self - evaluation and preparation of this report up to June 30, 2022. Following completion of the Self -Evaluation, the Transition Plan was developed for the structural changes required at RCTC's facilities, and is attached to this report as Attachment 8, Transition Plan. 01 July, 2022 91 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan A Grievance Procedure has been adopted and published by RCTC for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action that would be prohibited by the ADA. The procedure dated 06/2022 is included as Appendix E2 and is posted on RCTC's website Grievance Procedure https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ada-grievance- procedure.original REV.2022.06.pdf. A discrimination complaint form is available on RCTC's website Discrimination Complaint https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/ada- discrimination-complaint-form. original REV.May2017.pdf. Public notice of RCTC's ADA compliance is done through the following: RCTC has published a notice prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability and has established a Complaint Procedure to meet the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and ADA. The notice dated 05/2018 is included as Appendix El and is posted on RCTC's webpage ADA Notice and Complaint Procedure https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC-ADA Section - 504 -Notice -and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05-w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf 3.4 Regulatory Agencies Enforcing the ADA Title!! is enforced by private lawsuit or by filing a complaint with the Department of Justice or one of the designated federal enforcement agencies, such as the Department of Transportation, among others. The various departments or agencies and their responsibilities are defined in this section. 3.4.1. U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) The U.S. DOJ is responsible for overall enforcement of Title 11 and 1 11 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. DOJ has designated the Department of Transportation as the federal agency responsible for investigating complaints and conducting compliance reviews "relating to programs, services, and regulatory activities relating to transportation, including highways." The ADA also requires the DOJ to develop regulations with respect to existing facilities subject to Title!! (subtitle A) and Title 111. 3.4.2. U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) The ADA gives the U.S. DOT responsibility for overseeing state and local governments' compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Title 11 of the ADA in transportation systems including highway, railroad, transit, maritime, and aviation. To receive federal funds, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grantees, such as RCTC, must comply with Section 504; to comply with DOT's Section 504 regulations, grantees must comply with the DOT ADA regulations. The ADA and the DOT ADA regulations apply broadly to both public and private entities and to almost all types of transportation services. 3.4.3. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) The FHWA, a division of the DOT, is responsible for compliance of pedestrian access requirements in the public right of way. The FHWA Office of Civil Rights oversees compliance with DOT requirements for highways, streets, and traffic management. 3.4.4. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) The FTA provides financial and technical assistance to local public transit systems, including buses, subways, light rail, commuter rail, trolleys, and ferries. The FTA Office of Civil Rights is responsible for ensuring public transit providers comply with all nondiscrimination requirements. 01 July, 2022 92 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 3.4.5. California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) For transportation -related ADA compliance on local public right of way, the FHWA enforces Title II of the ADA through Caltrans. Caltrans is required to perform an annual audit of a few randomly selected local agencies on their compliance with ADA and report to FHWA. RCTC is a partner committed to working with Caltrans to identify and address issues with pedestrian accessibility in its infrastructure. 3.5 ADA Regulations Applicable to RCTC Facilities 3.5.1. DOJ ADA Regulations The ADA requires that the DOJ write regulations for implementing Titles II and I I I of the ADA. The regulations for both titles were first published on July 26, 1991. The DOJ revised its regulations implementing the ADA in September 2010, including the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. On July 15, 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed a final rule revising the ADA Title II and III regulations to implement the requirements of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008(ADAAA). The final rule was published in the Federal Register on August 11, 2016, and took effect 60 days after publication, on October 11, 2016. The applicable DOJ ADA regulations are: • 28 CFR Part 35 ADA Title II (State and Local Governments) current as of October 11,2016. https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titlell 2010/titlell 2010 regulations.htm • 28 CFR Part 36 ADA Title III (Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities) current as of January 17, 2017. https://www.ada.qov/ada title III.htm • 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design https://www.ada.qov/2010ADAstandards index. htm 28 CFR Part 35 requires that facilities constructed on behalf of, or for the use of, a public entity shall be designed and constructed so that the facility is accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities. The ADA Self -Evaluation is required by 28 CFR §35.105. State and local governments' ADA obligations for program accessibility are in the DOJ's ADA Title II regulations 28 CFR §35.150. Following the completion of a self -evaluation, public entities with 50 or more employees are required to develop an ADA Transition Plan as required by 28 CFR §35.150 (d). 3.5.2. DOT ADA Regulations The DOJ recognizes that DOT has its own independent regulatory responsibilities under subtitle B of Title II of the ADA. RCTC is a recipient of FHWA and FTA financial assistance. To comply with transportation -related provisions of the ADA, per FHWA Civil Rights Program and per DOT circular FTA C 4710.1 which is found at this link https://www.transit.dot.gov/sites/fta.dot.gov/files/docs/Final FTA ADA Circular C 4710.1. pdf, requirements that must be complied with are: • Americans with Disabilities Act (42 USC 126) ADA https://www.ada.gov/pubs/ada.htm • Title II of the ADA Implementing Regulation (28 CFR PART 35) (current as of October 11, 2016) https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titlell 2010/titlell 2010 regulations.htm • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 USC 794, et seq) https.//www. dol. gov/agencies/oasam/centers-offices/civil-rights-center/statutes/section- 504-rehabilitation-act-of-1973 01 July, 2022 -93 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Implementing Regulation (49 CFR Part 27) https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tp1=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/49cfr27 main 02.tpl • Nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in programs and activities receiving or benefiting from federal financial assistance https://www. ecfr._gov/cgi-bin/text- idx?SID=71308b622e6ebbae77f60b 129fbed0b6&node=pt49.1.27&rgn=div5 • Transportation Services for Individuals with Disabilities (ADA) https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/49cfr37 main 02.tpl • Americans with Disabilities Accessibility Specifications for Transportation Vehicles https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tp1=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/49cfr38 main 02.tpl • Transportation Services for Individuals with Disabilities (Passenger Vessels) https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tp1=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/49cfr39 main 02.tpl • Federal Transit Laws (49 U.S.0 5301 et seq.) https://uscode.house.gov/vie w.xhtml?path=/prelim@title49/subtitle3/chapter53&edition=pr elim • Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines ADAAG https://www.access- board.gov/ada/ • Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in Public Rights -of -Way PROWAG https://www.access-board.gov/prowag/ • Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards UFAS https://www.access- board.gov/abalufas.html • ADA Final Rule 9-28-11 https://www.transit.dot.qov/sites/fta.dot.qov/files/docs/ADA Final Rule one pager 9-28- 11.pdf Public transportation services, programs, and activities of public entities (such as RCTC) are covered by subtitle B of Title II of the ADA and are subject to the DOT regulations in 49 CFR Part 37, Transportation Services for Individuals with Disabilities (ADA) and 49 CFR Part 39, Transportation Services for Individuals with Disabilities (Passenger Vessels). The ADA regulations of DOT in 49 CFR §37.21(c) state that "entities subject to DOT's ADA regulations may also be subject to the ADA regulations of the Department of Justice, 28 CFR Part 35. In case of apparent inconsistency, the provisions of this part (49 CFR §37.21) shall prevail." Also, "The DOT rules apply only to the entity's transportation facilities, vehicles, or services; the DOJ rules may cover the entity's activities more broadly." The Department of Justice regulation implementing Title II generally, and the DOT regulations specifically implementing subtitle B of Title I I , may overlap. If there is overlap in areas covered by subtitle B which DOT regulates, these provisions shall be harmonized in accordance with the DOT regulation in 49 CFR §37.21(c). Therefore, where there is overlap, evaluation of RCTC's transportation facilities follows 49 CFR §37, Transportation Services for Individuals with Disabilities (ADA). 3.5.3. Caltrans ADA Regulations As part of the FHWA regulatory requirements under Title II of the ADA, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504), Caltrans ensures that subrecipients of Federal aid, including state and local entities that are responsible for roadways and pedestrian facilities, do not 01 July, 2022 94 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan discriminate on the basis of disability in any highway transportation program, activity, service, or benefit they provide to the general public. Caltrans ensures that people with disabilities have equitable opportunities to use the public right of way system. The regulations are: • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Implementing Regulation (49 CFR Part 27) https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title49/49cfr27 main 02.tpl • Title II ADA of 1990 (28 CFR Part 35) (State and Local Governments) https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/titlell 2010/titlell 2010 regulations. htm • 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design https://www.ada.gov/2010ADAstandards index. htm • Section 9.3: Accessibility, of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM): Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) https://dot. ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/local- assistance/documents/lapm/ch09. pdf • RCTC facilities located along the SR -91 and 1-15 express lanes corridors are designed in accordance with Caltrans Highway Design Manual and/or the FHWA-adopted edition of AASHTO, A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. Caltrans Design Information Bulletin, DIB 82-06 — Pedestrian Accessibility Guidelines for Highway Projects, applies to the pedestrian facilities on highways. https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot- media/programs/design/documents/dib82-06-a 11 y. pdf 3.5.4. Metrolink/ SCRRA Design Criteria Manual and Procedures The rail system along SR -91 and 1-215 is designed to FRA/SCRRA standards. Stations are also required to comply with applicable parts of the State of California general laws, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requirements, FRA safety requirements, FTA requirements, ADA requirements, and specific project requirements. 3.5.5. California Government Codes In addition to being covered by the ADA Title I I , RCTC facilities and buildings are also required to comply with, but not be limited to the following: • California Government Code 11135, incorporating ADA into State law. • Under California Government Code 12926, the definition of mental and physical disability was broadened beyond the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) https.//california.public.law/codes/ca govt code section 12926. • Contractual and construction activities are covered under CA Government Code Section 4450. • California Building Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24). • The State of California has also adopted regulations in Section 54 of the California Civil Code that specifies all buildings, structures, sidewalks, curbs, and related facilities constructed in California by the use of state, county, or municipal funds, or the funds of any political subdivision of the state, shall be accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities. 01 July, 2022 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan All pedestrian facilities on RCTC property are evaluated against the most stringent applicable ADA requirements based on the age of the facility and date of any alterations affecting ADA compliance. RCTC facilities and buildings are evaluated to make sure that maximum access for people with disabilities is allowed. 3.6 Definition of Mental and Physical Disability To be viewed as a disability under the ADA, a physical or mental impairment must substantially limit one or more major life activities. An individual having a record of, or being regarded as, having such an impairment is considered a qualified person with a disability. The ADA also protects a person in recovery who is no longer currently engaging in the illegal use of drugs and who can show that they meet one of the three definitions of disability. Regardless of whether the addiction to alcohol is current or in the past, addiction to alcohol is generally considered a disability because it is an impairment that affects brain and neurological functions. Under CA Government Code 12926, "Mental disability" includes, but is not limited to, having any mental or psychological disorder or condition, such as intellectual disability, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, or specific learning disabilities, that limits a major life activity. "Physical disability" includes, but is not limited to, having any physiological disease, disorder, condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss that does both of the following: (A) Affects one or more of the following body systems: neurological, immunological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs, respiratory, including speech organs, cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, genitourinary, hemic, and lymphatic, skin, and endocrine. (B) Limits a major life activity. "Limits" shall be determined without regard to mitigating measures such as medications, assistive devices, prosthetics, or reasonable accommodations, unless the mitigating measure itself limits a major life activity. Major life activities shall be broadly construed and includes physical, mental, and social activities and working. California State law also provides protection to cancer survivors, people having genetic predisposition to illnesses or disabilities, or people who have received services within a special education program. 01 July, 2022 19,6 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 4 ADA Standards for Accessible Design The DOJ and DOT issue the ADA Standards published by the Access Board. The Access Board is an independent federal agency established by Section 502 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. (29 U.S.C. 792). The passage of the ADA expanded the Access Board's responsibilities to ensure that buildings, facilities, rail passenger cars, and vehicles are accessible, in terms of architecture, design, transportation, and communication, to individuals with disabilities. In 1982, the Board published "Minimum Guidelines and Requirements for Accessible Design" which served as the basis for the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) adopted by several federal agencies. The UFAS was published in the Federal Register on August 7, 1984 (49 FR 31528) and is one of the standards which state and local governments (except most transit agencies) can use to comply with Title II of the ADA for federal projects. On July 26, 1991, the Access Board published the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (1991 ADAAG) and the revised 2004 ADA/ABA Guidelines (2004 ADAAG) were published on July 23, 2004. DOT adopted the 2004 ADAAG in 2006 and modified it by retaining certain requirements from the 1991 ADAAG. DOJ adopted the DOJ 2010 Standards which include the 2004 ADAAG and requirements contained in 28 CFR § 35.151 (New Construction and Alterations). The U.S. Access Board is currently in the process of finalizing Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in Public Rights -of -Way also known as the Public Right -of -Way Accessibility Guidelines or PROWAG. The proposed guidelines are developed specifically for pedestrian facilities in the public right of way and address conditions and constraints that exist in the public right of way. 4.1 Accessible Design Codes and Standards Applicable to RCTC Facilities All newly constructed or newly altered RCTC facilities are required to comply with Title 24, California Building Standards Code, DOJ 2010 ADA Standards, DOT 2004 ADAAG, and/or local codes, which ever provides the greatest access. PROWAG is recommended to be used by FHWA as best practice design guidelines for pedestrian facilities in public rights of way and DIB- 82-06 is a mandatory standard to be used on projects designed per the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. The age of the facility, and date of any alterations, determines RCTC's obligations to meet compliance to the applicable ADA Standard. Existing transportation buildings and facilities that are not altered after November 29, 2006, and which comply with the 1991 ADAAG, are not required to be retrofitted to comply with the requirements set forth in 2004 ADAAG. Portions of transportation facilities altered after November 29, 2006, are required to comply with DOT's ADA Standards. Federal regulations for accessibility contain a "safe harbor" provision that allows existing pedestrian elements that were altered on or before March 15, 2012, to not be required to meet the corresponding technical and scoping specifications of the DOJ 2010 ADA Standards (current standards) if the work complied with the past standards in the ADAAG or the UFAS when it was constructed and continues to comply. 01 July, 2022 )97 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Public spaces covered under DOJ ADA standards shall comply with the following: If constructed or altered before September 15, 2010, applicable standards are 1991 Standards or UFAS If constructed or altered on or after September 15, 2010, and before March 15, 2012, applicable standards are 1991 Standards, UFAS, or 2010 ADA Standards If constructed or altered on or after March 15, 2012, applicable standards are 2010 ADA Standards Evaluation of physical barriers in each RCTC facility is described in detail in Attachments 6A through 6P. The date each facility was constructed or modified, and the applicable ADA standards at the time of construction or modification, are listed in Attachments 6A through 6P and Attachment 7, Program Accessibility. 4.1.1. Title 24, California Building Standards Code In addition to federal regulations, the State of California government code contains regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability. The State has established design standards for accessibility under its Title 24, "California Building Standards Code." The State design standards generally match the federal standards, but in certain situations the State standards can be more stringent. All RCTC facilities and buildings are required to comply with the latest edition of Title 24, "California Building Standards Code" applicable at the time design/ modification was initiated. 4.1.2. DOJ 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design The DOJ implementing ADA Title II and Title III regulations has adopted the 2004 ADAAG standards consistent with ADA Chapter 1, ADA Chapter 2, and Chapters 3 through 10 of the 2004 ADA/ABA Guidelines, renaming them as 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The regulations issued by the DOJ include accessibility standards for the design, construction, and alteration of facilities other than facilities used in the provision of public transportation covered by regulations issued by DOT. DOJ 2010 ADA Standards will broadly apply to newly constructed or altered RCTC buildings and facilities in addition to Title 24, "California Building Standards Code requirements." DOJ's standards apply to all facilities covered by the ADA, except public transportation facilities, which are subject to DOT's standards. 4.1.3. DOT ADA Standards for Transportation Facilities DOT has its own independent regulatory responsibilities under subtitle B of Title II of the ADA. DOT's ADA standards, adopted in 2006, apply to facilities used by state and local governments to provide designated public transportation services, including bus stops and stations, as well as rail stations. A noteworthy difference between DOJ and DOT requirements is that DOT's ADA Standards require detectable warnings on curb ramps. Therefore, detectable warning surfaces on accessible routes, curb ramps, bus boarding and alighting areas, and rail station platforms are expected to comply with and are evaluated against DOT's ADA Standards 2006. 01 July, 2022 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 4.1.4. PROWAG PROWAG specifically applies to pedestrian facilities in the public right of way (New and Existing). For areas not fully addressed by the current ADA standards, FHWA has recommended the PROWAG to be followed as best practices. As such, Caltrans has adopted certain portions of the PROWAG as standards in DIB-82-06. Rail and transit stations are to be reviewed and require an approval from the Division of the State Architect, (DSA) to certify accessibility compliance. 4.1.5. DIB-82-06 Caltrans accessibility design guidance, DIB 82-06 "Pedestrian Accessibility Guidelines for Highway Projects," has been written to provide general design guidance on how to comply with the various Federal laws and State codes on pedestrian accessibility for public use. This Design Information Bulletin (DIB) is considered a mandatory standard for projects as indicated in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. Every highway project (Capital and Maintenance; including all Encroachment Permit projects) within the State highway right-of-way, that proposes to construct pedestrian facilities must be designed in accordance with the policies and standards of this DIB. The 2010 ADA Standards are not specifically written for public rights -of -way projects, but some of the provisions can apply to the highway environment and are included in DIB-82-06. On the state highway system, pedestrian facilities are evaluated against DIB 82-06 and the referenced applicable standards to provide the greatest access to people with disabilities based on the age of the facility and date of alterations affecting ADA compliance. Recommended solutions to remove the physical barriers in RCTC rail station facilities are based on DOJ 2010 standards and DOT's ADA standards (2006). 4.1.6. Safe Harbor On transportation projects designed or constructed before November 29, 2006, which is the date DOT adopted the new accessibility standards (2004 ADAAG), 49 CFR Part 37.9, paragraph (c)(2) provides that an existing facility that complies with the old standards (1991 ADA standards or UFAS) does not have to be retrofitted to comply with the new standards. Any future alteration to an existing facility does need to comply with the new standards. 49 CFR § 37.9 49 CFR 37.9 (c) (2) Existing buildings and facilities that are not altered after November 29, 2006, and which comply with the former Appendix A to this part, are not required to be retrofitted to comply with the requirements set forth in Appendices B and D to 36 CFR part 1191 and Appendix A to this part. On non -transportation projects following the DOJ standards, the safe harbor clause per 28 CFR 35.151 (b) (4) (ii) (C) applies, and those elements are assessed against 1991 ADA standards or UFAS. 28 CFR § 35.151 28 CFR 35.151 (b) (4) (ii) (C) Safe harbor. If a public entity has constructed or altered required elements of a path of travel in accordance with the specifications in either the 1991 Standards or the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards before March 15, 2012, the public entity is not required to retrofit such elements to reflect incremental changes in the 2010 Standards solely because of an alteration to a primary function area served by that path of travel 01 July, 2022 �9 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 5 Scope of Work To meet ADA Title 11 mandates, RCTC has engaged Bechtel to develop an ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan for the buildings and facilities owned, operated, or used by RCTC. In addition, as part of this process, the Action Plan was also developed to detail the non-physical barriers in RCTC processes and procedures. This is discussed in detail in Chapter 7 of this report. The goal of the Self -Evaluation and ADA Transition (and Action) Plan is to provide equivalent access to the maximum extent feasible for individuals with disabilities. Section 5.1 describes the Self -Evaluation requirements and Section 5.2 describes the Transition Plan requirements of the ADA Title II. Facilities that are excluded from the scope of this self - evaluation and transition plan are detailed in Section 5.3. Section 5.4 depicts the physical locations and addresses of RCTC Facilities. Chapter 6 illustrates the property limits of each RCTC facility that was evaluated, followed by Chapter 7, which describes the method used for evaluation of RCTC facilities to identify physical barriers, and elaborates the method used for evaluation of RCTC policies, practices, and procedures to identify programmatic barriers. 5.1 Self —Evaluation ADA Title II § 35.105 Self -Evaluation ADA Title II § 35.105 Self -evaluation, requires that (a) A public entity shall, within one year of the effective date of this part, evaluate its current services, policies, and practices, and the effects thereof that do not or may not meet the requirements of this part and, to the extent modification of any such services, policies, and practices is required, the public entity shall proceed to make the necessary modifications.

The public review period for the RCTC ADA Self -Assessment and Transition Plan closed on May 28, 2022. In response, one email was received from Richard Smith, CEO of the Independent Living Partnership. The email confirmed receipt of the notice and it included a link to their news release on a study "Transportation Bill of Rights Issued for Persons with Disabilities." Refer to Appendix J, Public Review Comment. No other comments were provided on RCTC's ADA Self - Assessment and Transition Plan. A description of the areas examined for self -evaluation are listed in Table 1 of this chapter. Attachments 2 through 5 detail the results of the examination of RCTC's policies, practices, and procedures which are also summarized in Chapter 7 and detailed in the Action Plan, Attachment 9. The self -evaluation was conducted by Virajita Dankar (Senior Architect) and Basem Makarem (Field Engineer) under the supervision of Erik Galloway (Project Manager). A list of the RCTC buildings and facilities that were inspected are included in Table 2, Section 5.4. Physical barriers in each of these facilities have been identified and modifications to resolve the barriers are included in Attachments 6A through 6P, as well as in the Transition Plan, Attachment 8. ADA Title II § 35.105 (d), noted as a requirement above, is not applicable as this document is the first self -evaluation conducted by RCTC. 5.1.1. Method of Review for Self -Evaluation As per the DOJ ADA Title 11 Technical Assistance Manual 11-8.2000, a self -evaluation is a public entity's assessment of its current policies and practices. The self -evaluation identifies those policies and practices that are inconsistent with Title II's requirements. As part of the self -evaluation, the self -evaluation team has completed the following: 1. Identified RCTC's programs, activities, and services (Chapter 7 of this report); 2. Reviewed RCTC's personnel policies and procedures manual (PPPM) included as Appendix D; 3. Reviewed RCTC's Request for Qualification, and Bid and Contract Documents (Appendix 01, C2, and C3); 4. Evaluated RCTC's ADA Title II policies and practices using questionnaires that were sent out to all departments. Staff liaisons from these departments were consulted for the evaluation of policies, practices, and procedures. The departments are: 01 July, 2022 102 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 1. Clerk of the Board • Records 2. External Affairs • Public Affairs • Commuter & Motor Assistance 3. Multimodal Services • Transit and Rail Management 4. Planning and Programming 5. Human Resources & Administration 6. Finance and Accounting • Finance and Administration 7. Procurement 8. Capital Projects • Design • Construction • Right -of -Way • Facilities Management 9. Toll Program and Operations 10. Regional Conservation Agency • Reserve Management/Monitoring Manager There are 13 program areas recommended by DOJ ADA Title II Technical Assistance Manual II - 8.2000 that are to be examined when conducting a self -evaluation. The 13 program areas are tabulated below (Table 1) along with actions that are required. Actions include a review and modification of policies and procedures. To conduct the self -evaluation of programs and policies, questionnaires related to these 13 program areas were sent to staff liaisons in RCTC's departments, which are listed in: • Attachment 1, Departments and Programs Responses to the questionnaires sent to various RCTC departments are included as attachments. These are: • Attachment 2 — General Nondiscrimination • Attachment 3 — Effective Communication • Attachment 4 — Website Accessibility • Attachment 5 — Administrative Requirements These attachments are also assigned to their applicable program area in Table 1. The questions in these attachments are based on templates prepared by the New England ADA Center, a project of the Institute for Human Centered Design, and relevant questions selected from the Sacramento County Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan were also used to conduct the self -evaluation. As part of the self -evaluation process, an examination of each program must be performed to determine whether any physical barriers to access exist. This examination to identify physical barriers in each facility was conducted by way of accessibility surveys and field inspections of RCTC facilities using measuring tools and the ADA checklists. The ADA checklists that were developed for this assessment were based on the following: • Checklists used to evaluate permanent pedestrian facilities included in Caltrans' "Permanent Pedestrian Facilities ADA Compliance Handbook" and DIB 82-06 (see Attachment 6X). • ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities template, which is a product of the New England ADA Center, a project of the Institute for Human Centered Design. Funding for the checklist was from the U.S. Department of Education. The checklist is available at no cost at www.ADAChecklist.org (see Attachment 6Y). 01 July, 2022 X03 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan When measuring widths and slopes, a measuring tape and smart level were utilized as per the method described in the Caltrans Permanent Pedestrian Facilities ADA Compliance Handbook. The findings from the assessment of physical barriers are noted in Attachments 6A through 6P for each RCTC facility. The self -evaluation should identify steps that need to be taken to enable these programs to be made accessible when viewed in their entirety. Attachment 7, Program Accessibility, provides references to both structural and nonstructural solutions to demonstrate that RCTC's services, programs, or activities, when "viewed in their entirety," will be accessible. Table 1 — Pro • ram Areas for Self -Evaluation No. Areas of Examination Physical barriers to access Actions Documents Addressing the Areas of Examination Examine each program to determine whether any physical barriers to access exist.

If a public entity provides telephone emergency services, it should review its policies to ensure direct access to individuals who use TDD and computer modems. Attachment 3 Attachment 9 4 Provisions of auxiliary aids and services for individuals with disabilities Review RCTC policies to ensure that they include provisions for screen readers for individuals with visual impairments; interpreters or other alternative communication measures, as appropriate, for individuals with hearing impairments; and amanuenses (person who will dictate for another) for individuals with manual impairments. A method for securing these services should be developed, including guidance on when and where these services will be provided. Where equipment is used as part of a public entity's program, activity, or service, an assessment should be made to ensure that the equipment is usable by individuals with disabilities, particularly individuals with hearing, visual, and manual impairments. In addition, a public entity should have policies that ensure that its equipment is maintained in operable working order.

Attachment 2 Appendix C1, C2, C3 12 Staff training and support A review should be made to ascertain whether measures have been taken to ensure that employees of a public entity are familiar with the policies and practices for the full participation of individuals with disabilities. If appropriate, training should be provided to employees. Attachment 2 13 ADA related drug use policy If a public entity limits or denies participation in its programs, activities, or services based on drug usage, it should make sure that such policies do not discriminate against former drug users, as opposed to individuals who are currently engaged in illegal use of drugs. Attachment 2 5.2 Transition Plan As stated previously, the self -evaluation identifies barriers in practices, policies, procedures, and physical barriers at facilities and buildings. The modifications, corrections, or changes that are necessary to address the barriers are discussed in the ADA Transition and Action plans. The ADA Transition plan addresses structural solutions to architectural barriers in RCTC facilities which is summarized in this section with the detailed solutions to each barrier included in Attachment 8. The ADA Action plan identifies the non-structural solutions to address the barriers in practices, policies, and procedures; this includes recommendations to modify or add new processes or procedures which is covered in more detail in Chapter 7 and Attachment 9 of this report. 01 July, 2022 /97 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan ADA Title II § 35.150 (d) Transition Plan ADA Title II § 35.150 (d) Transition plan requires that (1) In the event that structural changes to facilities will be undertaken to achieve program accessibility, a public entity that employs 50 or more persons shall develop, within six months of January 26, 1992, a transition plan setting forth the steps necessary to complete such changes. A public entity shall provide an opportunity to interested persons, including individuals with disabilities or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, to participate in the development of the transition plan by submitting comments. A copy of the transition plan shall be made available for public inspection. (2) If a public entity has responsibility or authority over streets, roads, or walkways, its transition plan shall include a schedule for providing curb ramps or other sloped areas where pedestrian walks cross curbs, giving priority to walkways serving entities covered by the Act, including State and local government offices and facilities, transportation, places of public accommodation, and employers, followed by walkways serving other areas.

Some facilities/properties were not evaluated, and they are detailed within this section. 1. Pedestrian facilities within the public right of way that connect to but are outside the property lines of RCTC's facilities and buildings are not included in this scope of evaluation. These facilities are owned by and are the responsibility of other agencies. Chapter 6 of this report defines the RCTC property limits that were used in the evaluation process. 2. The layover facilities in South Perris and Downtown Riverside stations were not evaluated due to access being strictly restricted to authorized Metrolink personnel only. 3. RCTC owns the Perris Valley Line (PVL) rail line from the Citrus Connection to Hemet/ San Jacinto. All the rail stations along Interstate (1) 215 are serviced from the RCTC rail line. The rail corridor is not meant for public access and is excluded from this report. 4. RCTC owns properties along the BNSF Railroad along Commerce Street between Mission Inn Avenue and 3rd Street in Riverside, California. This property is fenced and unoccupied land. The area is not meant for public access and was not evaluated. 5. Mitigation lands that RCTC owns through RCA are areas restored to native habitat; they are not meant to be accessed by public and foot travel is discouraged. Any pre-existing undesignated, undeveloped, and unmaintained pedestrian trails on these lands that have never been altered/constructed were not evaluated. RCTC/RCA works with individuals who use wheelchairs to provide access to specific wilderness areas and provides reasonable accommodation by using a county vehicle to provide access to areas that are reasonably accessible by vehicle upon request of at least 72 hours prior to the visit. 6. RCTC operates and maintains the State Route 91 Express Lanes from the Orange County line to approximately 1-15 and the 1-15 Express Lanes from the San Bernardino County line south to approximately Weirick Road in Riverside County on a 50 -year lease agreement. There are no pedestrian facilities within these lanes and the express lanes were not evaluated for physical barriers. 7. RCTC supports transit operators throughout Riverside County to provide many alternatives to driving by providing funding. Services offered by these transit operators are not included in the scope of this self -evaluation. 8. Passenger vehicles are not included in the scope of this self -evaluation. 9. Commuter rail trains servicing RCTC commuter rail stations are under the jurisdiction of SCRRA and were not included in the scope of this self -evaluation. 5.4 Work Included This report will assist RCTC with meeting the functional goals and legal requirements mandated by the Rehabilitation Act and ADA Title II for the buildings and facilities listed in Table 2.0. and indicated on Figure 2.0. 01 July, 2022 109 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Figure 2.0 — Map showing RCTC Buildings and Facilities Google earth V 6.2.2.6613.

RCTC owns the land that the layover facility is located on but SCRRA maintains the tracks, layover facility, and crew office for Metrolink personnel and controls access to the area to only SCRRA personal. 01 July, 2022 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 6.12 Regional Operations Center (ROC) Riverst(10 r`sly 115 -�— �I Y680- 1 002 115=1 680-i 003 115- 680- 011 --- 115- 115= 680- 680- 115 {004 005 006 115- 115- 115 680- 680- 680 000 008. 010 115- 680- 013 Figure 2.12, Image of ROC Site Boundary 6.13 Customer Service Center (CSC) Riverside Fwy _ 115- 680- 002 :115- 680- 012 115- 680- 004 115- 115- 1 680- 68°] �005J006 115- 115- 1151680_[680- }680 010 009 008 115- a7n- ;de Fwy 115- 680- 013 115 670 027 Figure 2.13, Image of CSC Site Boundary 01 July, 2022 122 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 6.14 Facility and Maintenance (FAM) Warehouse Figure 2.14, Image of FAM Warehouse Site Boundary 6.15 TUB 1 — 91 West Toll Utility Building See Figure 2.15 for location. 01 July, 2022 ai3 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 6.16 TUB 2 — 91 East Toll Utility Building Figure 2.15, Image of TUB -1 and TUB 2 Site Boundary The Toll Utility Buildings (TUB)s 1 and 2 are located in the median of State Route 91 as shown in the image above. The buildings are not accessible to the general public; however, these are designed for compliance to ADA requirements in accordance with California Building Code. 01 July, 2022 A24 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 7 Evaluation of Physical and Programmatic Barriers 7.1 Self -Evaluation of Physical Barriers Self - Evaluation of Physical Barriers in Stations Barriers inside buildings and on the pedestrian routes within the boundary lines of buildings and facilities owned, operated, or used by RCTC were assessed by members of the self -evaluation team using a tape measure, a smart phone app, a smart level, and use of the ADA checklists (Attachments 6X and 6Y), described in Chapter 5. Public rights of way leading from RCTC's commuter rail stations and accessing government offices, medical facilities, downtown core areas, school zones, residential areas, and other significant areas that do not fall within RCTC boundary lines are not evaluated in this report. Rest areas, parks, or shared use trails are not located within the RCTC boundary lines, thus, were not evaluated. The elements assessed in the stations include: 1. Curb ramps (includes evaluation of slopes, cross slopes, gutter slope, and detectable warning surfaces) 2. Pedestrian road crossings (includes evaluation of slopes and cross slopes) a. Pedestrian push button signals (access to push buttons and placement height, where applicable within RCTC boundary) 3. Accessible routes a. Walking surfaces (includes evaluation of slopes, cross slopes, trip hazards, protrusions, and minimum required widths) b. Elevators (elevators comply with the accessibility requirements of the California Building Code applicable at the time of permit. Elevators are annually inspected and certified by State Division of Occupational Safety and Health — Elevator Unit. Cab size, location of call controls, in -car buttons and emergency controls, audible and visible signals, illuminated call buttons, hoist -way signs, and tactile signs were evaluated) c. Pedestrian Bridge (includes evaluation of slopes, cross slopes, trip hazards, and handrails) d. Stairs (includes handrails) e. Ramps (includes handrails) 4. Platforms a. Walking surfaces (includes detectable warning surfaces) b. Mini High platforms and ramps (includes handrails) 5.

Responses to these questions revealed that there may be some barriers to accessibility present in the existing policies, programs, and procedures. The responses are included in Attachments 2 through 5. General program accessibility and specific program accessibility issues are summarized below. Results of the assessments are included in Attachments 2, 3, 4, and 5. Actions required to remove the identified barriers are included in Attachment 9, Action Plan. RCTC services that have direct interface with the public include Toll, Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), and Vanpool. RCTC contractually requires their contractors and approved vendors to comply with ADA requirements. All RCTC Van Club approved vanpool vendors have accessible vehicles available for vanpool groups that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 7.2.1. Departments and Programs The staff liaisons from all RCTC departments and programs who were contacted for the self - evaluation of the general nondiscrimination policies and department specific policies for ADA compliance are listed in Attachment 1 — Departments and Programs. 7.2.2. Nondiscrimination Equal treatment and access are a fundamental purpose of the ADA. People with disabilities must not be treated in a different or inferior manner. Title 11 regulations cover a wide range of issues which were included in the General Nondiscrimination questionnaire. The evaluation of responses to the General Nondiscrimination survey questions that were sent out to the staff liaisons from all RCTC departments is included in Attachment 2 - Evaluation of General Nondiscrimination Policies. Attachment 2 also lists the corresponding ADA Title II requirements and recommended best practices for each question and response. The following topics address the program areas included in Table 1 of Chapter 5. 1. Nondiscrimination policies, procedures, and practices RCTC'S policies, practices, and procedures generally provide an equal opportunity for people with disabilities to participate in services, programs, and activities; that is, the policies do not discriminate against people on the basis of disability. See Appendix D — RCTC' s Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual (PPPM) Section 1.4 RCTC's ADA Nondiscrimination Notice (Appendix El) is posted on RCTC's website. https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC-ADA Section -504 -Notice -and -Complaint - Procedure -c2 2018.05-w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf The following questions were submitted to RCTC's departments and programs to evaluate awareness of nondiscrimination policies, practices, and procedures: 1) Do policies, practices and procedures provide an equal opportunity for people with disabilities to participate in services, programs, and activities; that is, do policies not discriminate against people on the basis of disability? Please provide policy numbers and copies of these policies, practices, and procedures to identify if any policy modifications need to be implemented. 2) Are there circumstances in which the participation of a person with a disability would be excluded or restricted? 01 July, 2022 17 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 3) If yes, are the exclusions or restrictions necessary to the operation of the program or to the safety of other participants? 4) Are there separate services, programs, or activities for people with disabilities or a class of people with disabilities? Based on the responses received, it was found that all departments are aware of RCTC's Human Resources policies addressing nondiscrimination per ADA requirements within the PPPM. Staff rely on contract language and procurement policies for each contract to ensure compliance to ADA requirements for contracted services. There are no circumstances in which the participation of a person with a disability would be excluded or restricted, except for field positions at construction sites where driving and exposure to live traffic is cited as an example of a restriction imposed on persons having a disability. DOJ 2010 ADA Standards, Section 203.2 Construction Sites, states that, "Structures and sites directly associated with the actual processes of construction, including but not limited to, scaffolding, bridging, materials hoists, materials storage, and construction trailers shall not be required to comply with these requirements or to be on an accessible route." Therefore, construction sites are not required to include accessible routes where public access is not allowed. Responses state that all public meetings are held in accessible locations so that the participation of a person with a disability would not be excluded or restricted. Separate services, programs, and activities are provided and include designated ADA parking at all locations, emergency call boxes that are accessible, funding for specialized transit, mobility options to enhance quality of life, and special account type for persons with disabled plates to receive toll discounts. The goal of these programs is the equal participation of individuals with disabilities in the "mainstream" of American society. Based on a review of documents provided, RCTC's Model Contract — Request for Qualification — Consultant Contracts document (Appendix 01), does not specifically mention compliance with the ADA, although it requires consultants and contractors to comply with all Laws and Regulations. Bid and Contracts Documents — Construction Contracts (Appendix C2), requires contractors to certify that they do not violate federal laws or Executive Orders relating to employment discrimination. Bid and Contract Documents - Federal Projects (Appendix C3) requires ADA compliance as a contract provision. It is recommended that: a) RCTC review the uniform contract language for contracting services (consultants and construction contracts) to ensure that it is worded in a nondiscriminatory manner, holding vendors/contractors/ consultants to State and Federal disability civil rights mandates that RCTC is subject to under law, specifically including compliance to the ADA set forth under 28 CFR 35. Because RCTC receives federal financial assistance, a similar provision requiring compliance with Section 504 requirements should be added, as well. b) It is recommended that RCTC's legal counsel review job descriptions for construction field positions prior to their posting to ensure ADA compliance and to confirm that the exclusions or restrictions are necessary to the operation of the program or to the safety of all participants. 2. Contracting with External Organizations Employees who contract with outside agencies, organizations, or businesses are required to know that the public entity's ADA obligations apply whether the public entity provides the service, program, or activity directly or contracts for it. 01 July, 2022 la8 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan The following questions were asked to evaluate awareness of this requirement: 5) Do all employees who contract with outside agencies, organizations or businesses know that the public entity's ADA obligations apply whether the public entity provides the service, program, or activity directly or contracts for it? 6) Does the public entity notify each contractor of its responsibilities for providing contracted services in a nondiscriminatory manner? 7) Does the public entity require assurances from contractors of their fulfillment of Title II requirements? 8) Are there procedures to ensure that contractors provide the services, programs, and activities in a nondiscriminatory manner consistent with the Title 11 requirements? Based on the responses received, some of RCTC's staff are aware of this ADA requirement and some are not. The Procurement Policy Manual does not specifically address this as a Title II requirement, but Chapter 2-10 A of the manual requires that, "All formal contracts entered into by the Agency should contain appropriate clauses prohibiting discrimination by the contractor against any person or group of persons on account of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, age, marital status, sex or sexual orientation in the performance of the contract." It is recommended that: a) RCTC require assurances from contractors of their fulfillment of Title II requirements. b) RCTC update contract provisions and specifications to specifically include that contractors need to provide the services, programs, and activities in a nondiscriminatory manner consistent with ADA Title II requirements. c) RCTC provide guidance to staff involved in the purchasing process to ensure that public funds are not being used to create barriers to access. For example, when purchasing new equipment or furniture, RCTC should ensure that any purchased equipment or furniture should be ADA compliant and provide equal access to those with disabilities. d) RCTC require accessibility reviews of designs for new construction or renovation projects for compliance to ADA standards. 3. Reasonable Modifications The ADA requires public entities to make "reasonable modifications" in their usual ways of doing things when necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability unless the public entity can demonstrate that making the modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity. A public entity does not have to take any action that it can demonstrate would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of its program or activity, or in undue financial and administrative burdens. This determination can only be made by the head of the public entity, or his or her designee, and must be accompanied by a written statement of the reasons for reaching that conclusion. The determination that undue burdens would result must be based on all resources available for use in the program. RCTC's PPPM Section 1.4.3.1 addresses provision of reasonable accommodation in compliance with the ADA and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) for their employees and applicants. Section 1.4.3.2 addresses interactive process, as defined by the ADA and FEHA, to determine whether a qualified disabled applicant or employee is able to perform their essential functions. 01 July, 2022 li9 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan The following question was asked to evaluate the provision of reasonable accommodations in services offered by RCTC: 9) Are employees and officials aware that the public entity is obligated to make a reasonable modification in policies, practices, or procedures if the modification is necessary for a person with a disability to participate? Please provide copy of the policy addressing policy modification requests and the determination of undue burden Based on the responses received, RCTC departments dealing with the public are generally aware of the requirement to provide reasonable accommodations. Contact information is provided on public meeting agendas and on notices for public hearings to request reasonable accommodations at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. Staff liaisons from most departments are not aware of the written policy addressing policy modification requests. However, the ADA Nondiscrimination Notice on the RCTC website states that, "RCTC will make reasonable accommodations to policies and procedures to ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities." RCTC does not appear to have a policy for providing statements of reasons for reaching a conclusion that a reasonable accommodation might result in undue financial or administrative burden to RCTC. Based on the responses to the question, it appears RCTC staff is not aware of who from RCTC is responsible for making the determination of undue burden on RCTC and who is required to take action to ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the benefits or services provided by RCTC. It is recommended that: a) Staff in all departments be provided with additional training and information regarding RCTC's ADA Nondiscrimination Notice that is posted on the agency's website. https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC-ADA Section -504 -Notice - and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05-w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf b) RCTC should establish an internal procedure for documenting reasonable modification requests (such as allowing service animals) and determine the person/s responsible for deciding which request would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, or accommodations. It would also have to identify who will take action to ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the benefits or services provided by RCTC. 4. Service Animals Allowing service animals in areas where other animals are not allowed is a type of reasonable accommodation. Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. Miniature horses can be service animals in some circumstances per DOJ. Entities must permit service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas where members of the public are allowed to go. The following questions were asked to evaluate awareness of this requirement to permit service animals: 10) Are employees and officials aware that a. The public entity must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas where people without service animals are allowed to go? b. Only two questions may be asked: (1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? 01 July, 2022 10 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan c. The public entity may not ask about a person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task? d. A person with a disability cannot be asked to remove his service animal from the premises unless: (1) the dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it or (2) the dog is not housebroken and, in these circumstances, employees must offer the person with the disability the opportunity to obtain goods or services without the animal's presence? e. The public entity must permit a miniature horse to accompany a person with a disability where reasonable? Assessment factors include, the size and weight, whether the horse is housebroken, and whether its presence compromises safety requirements. RCTC's written policies do not specifically address service animals. Some departments are unaware or unsure of the requirements described in the questions above. It is recommended that: a) RCTC provide ADA regulations that address service animals to all staff in all departments . b) Staff who interact with the public be provided comprehensive training regarding ADA Title 11 requirements addressing wheelchairs, service animals, provision of space, and relief areas for service animals in public meetings/events. ADA training and training resources are available online at this link https://adata.org/ada-training. 5. Wheelchairs and Other Power -driven Mobility Devices Public entities must allow people with disabilities who use wheelchairs and power -driven mobility devices into all areas where the public is allowed to go. Power -driven mobility devices may include Segway®, golf carts, and other devices designed to operate in non -pedestrian areas. The following questions were asked to evaluate awareness of this requirement: 11) Are employees and officials aware that a. People with mobility disabilities may use wheelchairs, scooters, and manually -powered mobility aids, such as walkers, crutches, canes, braces, or other similar devices designed for use by individuals with mobility disabilities in any areas open to pedestrian use? b. People with mobility disabilities may use other power -driven mobility devices in any areas open to pedestrian use unless the public entity can demonstrate that the class of other power - driven mobility devices cannot be operated in accordance with legitimate safety requirements? c. They may not ask about the nature and extent of the individual's disability, but may ask an individual to provide a credible assurance that the mobility device is required because of the person's disability? Credible assurance includes a state -issued, disability parking placard or card, or other state -issued proof of disability or a verbal representation, not contradicted by observable fact, that the other power -driven mobility device is being used for a mobility disability. Public entities are encouraged to develop written policies specifying which power -driven mobility devices will be permitted, and where and when they can be used. RCTC departments are generally aware but RCTC's PPPM and other policies do not specifically address wheelchairs and other power -driven mobility devices. These requirements have not been formally communicated to the departments. 01 July, 2022 1 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan It is recommended that: a) RCTC provide ADA regulations regarding power driven mobility devices to all staff in all departments . 6. Surcharge and Costs Title II requires that a public entity may not place a surcharge on people with disabilities to cover the costs of measures, such as the provision of auxiliary aids or program accessibility, that are required to provide non-discriminatory treatment. The following question was asked to evaluate awareness of this requirement: 12) Are employees and officials aware that the public entity may not place a surcharge on people with disabilities to cover the costs of measures, such as the provision of auxiliary aids or program accessibility, that are required to provide nondiscriminatory treatment? RCTC's departments are generally aware of this requirement, due to it being posted on board agendas, but RCTC's personnel policies and procedures manual does not specifically address this requirement. These requirements have not been formally communicated to all the departments. The ADA Nondiscrimination Notice on the RCTC website states that, "Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or translation service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of RCTC, should contact RCTC at (951) 787-7141. RCTC will take reasonable steps to ensure that all individuals have meaningful access to programs, services, and information free of charge. RCTC will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable modifications of policy, such as retrieving items from locations that are open to the public but are not accessible to persons who use wheelchairs." It is recommended that: a) Staff in all departments be provided with the ADA Nondiscrimination Notice that is posted on the RCTC website. https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC- ADA Section -504 -Notice -and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05-w BBK-Revisions- c2.pdf 7. Ticketing (with seating) A public entity that sells tickets for a single event or series of events is required to modify its policies, practices, or procedures to ensure that individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to purchase tickets for accessible seating. The following questions were asked to evaluate awareness of this requirement: 13) Are tickets for accessible seats sold during the same hours; through the same methods of purchase (by telephone, on site, through a website, or through third -party vendors); and during the same stages of sales (pre -sales, promotions, general sales, wait lists, or lotteries) as non -accessible seats? 14) If accessible seating is not available in areas of the venue with lower prices, is lower priced accessible seating available in higher priced locations? 15) Do venues and third -party sellers provide the same information about accessible seats as provided about non -accessible seats? 16) Can ticket sellers describe accessible seating in enough detail to permit the purchaser to determine if a seat meets his or her needs? 01 July, 2022 a2 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 17) Do ticket sellers know that people purchasing a ticket for a wheelchair space may purchase up to three additional seats for their companions as close as possible to the wheelchair space and that these companion seats may include wheelchair spaces? 18) Do ticket sellers know that unsold accessible seats may be released and sold to members of the general public in only one of three circumstances: • when all non -accessible seats have been sold (excluding luxury boxes, club boxes, suites, and seats the venue holds back when declaring a sell-out); or • when all non -accessible seats in a particular seating section have been sold; or • when all non -accessible seats in a particular price category have been sold? 19) If the venue permits patrons to give or sell their tickets to others, does the venue know that the same right must be extended to patrons with disabilities and that those tickets may be sold to someone who does not have a disability? 20) Do ticket sellers know that for single event tickets, venues may ask purchasers to state that they require, or are purchasing tickets for someone who requires, the features of an accessible seat? 21) Do ticket sellers know that for series of events tickets, purchasers may be asked to attest in writing that they require, or are purchasing tickets for someone who requires, the features of an accessible seat? Based on the responses received, it is evident that these questions do not apply to RCTC programs, services, and activities because RCTC does not directly sell tickets for any events. However, it is recommended that: a) RCTC consider reserving accessible seats in the front at future ribbon cutting and other public events held by RCTC. 8. Access to Public Meetings A public entity is required to make available to applicants, participants, beneficiaries, and other interested persons information regarding the services, programs, or activities of the public entity, and to ensure that interested persons, including persons with impaired vision or hearing, can obtain information as to the existence and location of accessible services, activities, and facilities. To ascertain that RCTC staff are aware of this requirement, the following questions were asked to evaluate awareness of this requirement: 22) Is information about the public entity's accessible services, activities, and facilities available to the public and to current and future program participants? 23) Are all public meetings and events held in accessible and safe locations? Note: Are sites evaluated to include site arrival points, signage, meeting room(s), supporting restrooms, drinking fountains, public phones, registration counters, etc.? 24) Is there a notice on all public meeting announcements that auxiliary aids and services are made available as needed for participants with disabilities? 25) Is there a policy in place regarding maintenance of accessible features? 26) Who provides auxiliary aids and services to people seeking accommodation under Title II? Based on the review of responses, information about accessibility at public meetings is posted on the meeting agenda and there is a brochure on ADA policy which might be outdated. Most of RCTC's employees are aware of the requirement to provide accessible venues for public meetings but also defer to the Clerk of Board and consultants for provision of auxiliary aids and services. There does not seem to be a policy in place for maintenance of accessible features and some public meetings are held in venues maintained by others. 01 July, 2022 } 3 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan It is recommended that: a) RCTC should ensure that staff and consultants responsible for setting off site meetings are aware that ADA requirements need to be complied with such as holding meetings and events on accessible routes, incorporating clear spaces, accessible room set-up and integrated seating. If events are to be coordinated and arranged by external consultants, the consultant's scope of work for the events should clearly include compliance with all ADA requirements. 9. Disability Awareness Regardless of how they accomplish specific tasks, people with disabilities have the same right as any other person to participate in state and local government and to benefit from the programs and services these government agencies provide. A review of a public entity's written and audio- visual materials is required to be conducted to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not portrayed in an offensive or demeaning manner. The following questions were asked to evaluate disability awareness among staff who have contact with the public: 27) Are RCTC staff who have public contact trained or provided guidance regarding ADA requirements for full participation of individuals with disabilities including "disability" awareness, interactions with people with disabilities, disability civil rights laws, and disability etiquette? 28) By what means is training provided to RCTC Staff who have public contact regarding ADA requirements for full participation of individuals with disabilities including "disability" awareness, interactions with people with disabilities, disability civil rights laws, and disability etiquette? A review of RCTC's website at https://www.rctc.org/about/ reveals that written and visual materials do not portray individuals with disabilities in an offensive manner. RCTC employees are generally aware and sensitive to disability issues of their own accord but they have not yet received formal training regarding disability awareness and first person contact. It is recommended that: a) RCTC staff who interact with the public be trained in "disability" awareness, interactions with people with disabilities, disability civil rights laws, and disability etiquette. For example, a free, self -paced online course for discovering the best practices for effectively working and interacting with people who have disabilities is found at this link: https://adata.org/project/your-service-welcoming-customers-disabilities-your-one-stop- center. 10. Emergency Evacuation Procedures To allow full participation of individuals with disabilities in its programs, activities, or services, a public entity should also have procedures to evacuate individuals with disabilities during an emergency. Public entities must also maintain in working order equipment and features of facilities that are required to provide ready access to individuals with disabilities. A public entity may impose legitimate safety requirements necessary for the safe operation of its services, programs, or activities. DOT's ADA regulation 49 CFR 37.161 requires maintenance and prompt repair of accessible features. To evaluate compliance with maintenance and safety requirements, the following questions were asked: 01 July, 2022 14 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 29) Are maintenance staff and other staff trained to identify access and safety issues? 30) Is there a system or plan in place to identify safety and access issues that can be used by maintenance staff to report and correct problems? If yes, please attach the plan. 31) How is access monitored during planning and construction of RCTC projects? 32) Are any RCTC programs, services or facilities are operated from a registered historic site? 33) When purchase of new equipment (including but not limited to communication and transportation equipment) is made, how is it reviewed to ensure that equipment is accessible to people with disabilities? 34) Does RCTC have an emergency management plan that includes needs of people with disabilities? If yes, please attach the plan. The plan shall include procedures to evacuate individuals with disabilities during an emergency. 35) Has RCTC used the guidance published by the EEOC regarding lawful means of identifying employees who might need assistance during an emergency due to their disability? 36) Are visual and audible warning signals installed in RCTC facilities and buildings to notify all members of the public including individuals with disabilities? 37) Has emergency management staff in all facilities been trained regarding variety of events that might occur and impact people with disabilities? 38) Does RCTC use the US Department of Justice guidance regarding disaster management? This can be located at ADA.gov. 39) Is the RCTC ADA coordinator involved in the emergency plan creation, drills, and debriefings? 40) Please share all accessibility policies, procedures and guidelines, verbal or written that you have in place. Please attach a copy. Written emergency evacuation procedures for stations or other facilities were not available for review at the time of this evaluation. `Evacuation Map' and `Safety Team Listing - Evacuation Team Responsibilities' were provided for the 3rd floor of RCTC's Lemon Street office. There appears to be no universal written emergency management plan and the documents provided do not specifically include evacuation of individuals with disabilities during an emergency. As RCTC does not operate any programs, services, or activities on historic properties, ADA requirements for access to, and emergency evacuation from, altered historic properties are not applicable. It is recommended that: a) RCTC develop guidance and special procedures on assisting individuals with disabilities during emergencies and address emergency evacuation of individuals with disabilities covering a variety of emergency situations. b) RCTC use the guidance published by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding lawful means of identifying employees who might need assistance during an emergency due to their disability: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/obtaining-and-using-employee-medical- information-part-emergency-evacuation-procedures. c) RCTC use DOJ guidance regarding disaster management: https://www.ada.gov/emergencyprep.htm. d) The RCTC ADA Coordinator be involved in the emergency plan creation, drills, and debriefings. 01 July, 2022 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan e) RCTC should update all accessibility policies, procedures, and guidelines to include recommendations made in this report. f) If other entities are contracted to provide emergency preparedness or emergency management services, RCTC should formalize in agreements with those organizations their commitment to compliance with the requirements of Title II of the ADA and information provided at this link: https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkitIchap7emergencymgmtadd1.htm. RCTC provide comprehensive training to staff involved in emergency planning and preparedness, addressing effective communications, evacuating from a place of danger, sheltering, evacuating people to a place of safety and adaptive evacuation equipment (if or when used), and evacuation of service animals. The Pacific ADA Center is a resource for webinars, tip sheets, and podcasts on emergency preparedness to help shed light on disability and ADA issues in emergency preparedness and management. National, regional, and local resources and publications related to disability and emergency preparedness are available at this link: https://www.adapacific.org/emergency- preparedness-webinars. 11. Employment Practices ADA Title II regulations, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the ADA regulation issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission require that no qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be subjected to discrimination in employment under any service, program, or activity conducted by a public entity. For public entities at the state and local levels, Title II adopts the standards of Title I. Public entities must ensure that their employment practices and policies do not discriminate on the basis of disability against qualified individuals with disabilities in every aspect of employment, including recruitment, hiring, promotion, demotion, layoff and return from layoff, compensation, job assignments, job classifications, paid or unpaid leave, fringe benefits, training, and employer - sponsored activities, including recreational or social programs. The following questions related to employment practices were asked to evaluate RCTC's Human Resources policies: 41) Do employment practices comply with all applicable nondiscrimination requirements, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA regulation issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission? 42) Are the interview/selection panel members trained regarding disability awareness and interactions with people with disabilities? 43) Is reasonable accommodation offered, as needed for people with disabilities during interview/selection? 44) Who provides reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees under ADA Title I and 11 regulations and CA Government Code12926? Please include Name, Position, Contact information. 45) Please share all accessibility policies, procedures and guidelines, verbal or written that you have in place. Please attach a copy. 46) Is there an anti -disability harassment policy? If yes, provide copy of the policy. Section 1.4.3 of the RCTC PPPM states that, "It is the policy of RCTC not to discriminate on the basis of disability for employment. It is the intent of RCTC to provide qualified disabled employees with a bias free work environment. RCTC will provide reasonable accommodation in 01 July, 2022 g) i436 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). Reasonable effort will be made to provide an accessible work environment." This statement is posted on RCTC's website, https://www.rctc.org/employment/, "It is the policy of RCTC to provide equal employment opportunity (EEO) to all persons regardless of age, color, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, race, religion, creed, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. In addition, RCTC will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities." ADA Nondiscrimination Notice (Appendix El) posted on RCTC's website https://www.rctc.org/wp- content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC-ADA Section -504 -Notice -and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05- w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf states that, "RCTC does not discriminate in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Title II of the ADA, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. Section 1.4.2.1 of the RCTC PPPM states that, "RCTC's EEO policy applies to all areas of employment including recruitment, selection, promotion, termination, transfer, layoff, compensation, benefits, training, performance evaluations, and other personnel actions, procedures and examinations." Section 11.2 Harassment Free Environment policy of the RCTC PPPM includes a written response policy and action for anti -disability harassment. Based on a review of these statements and responses received from the Human Resources Department, RCTC's employment practices are not deemed discriminatory against people with disabilities. However, a legal review of postings prior to opening is not conducted. Job descriptions are from a template style format. Interview/selection panel members follow the RCTC Interviewing Guide which addresses disability but does not include details regarding disability awareness and interactions with people having disabilities. It is recommended that: a) The RCTC Interviewing Guide be updated to include details regarding disability awareness and interactions with people having disabilities to assure that job applicants with disabilities are treated in a nondiscriminatory manner. b) Advertised position classifications and job application forms should be reviewed by RCTC HR director and / or RCTC legal counsel to determine if: • Positions are available to qualified persons with disabilities; • The announcement identifies the essential functions of the job to attract qualified people with disabilities to apply; • Information about job openings is accessible to people with different disabilities; • If only permissible questions are being asked on application forms (questions that identify the presence of a disability may not be asked); • Modifications and accommodations are required for position classifications to qualified persons with disabilities; and Local certified vocational rehabilitation counselors in Riverside, CA (if needed) can be found at this link: https://riverside.networkofcare.org/mh/services/subcategory.aspx?tax=ND-9000. 01 July, 2022 L37 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan ADA Training on Title I —Employment can be requested from the Pacific ADA center at this link: https://www.adapacific.orq/request pacific-ada-center-training. The training covers the following topics: • Employment requirements overview • Definition of disability • Drafting job descriptions • Interviewing people with disabilities • Post-offer/Pre-employment dos and don'ts • Disclosing a disability • Reasonable accommodation: the process, examples, and "Undue Hardship" 12. Construction Policies RCTC's Model Contract - Request for Qualification - Consultant Contracts document (Appendix 01), Bid and Contract Documents — Construction Contracts (Appendix C2), and Bid and Contract Documents - Federal Projects (Appendix C3) were reviewed to evaluate RCTC's construction policies. Specifically, Exhibit B, Section 18, Laws and Regulations in Appendix 01 states that, "Consultant shall keep itself fully informed of, and in compliance with, all local, state, and federal laws, rules and regulations in any manner affecting the performance of the Project or the Services, including all Cal/OSHA requirements, and shall give all notices required by law." Page 5 of the Notice for Qualification in Appendix 01 states that, "RCTC does not discriminate against, or provide preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, age over 40, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, disability including AIDS, mental condition, cancer -related medical condition, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or marital status in its contracting activities." Bidder Information Form in Appendix C2, page CBF 36, requires bidders to provide information regarding violation of laws and Executive Orders relating to employment discrimination. Part G-2, Form FHWA-1273 of the "Federal Requirements for Federal Aid Contracts" in Appendix C3, includes the provisions of the ADA set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR 1630 as a contract requirement. The form also requires the operating policy of the contractors to accept the statement, "It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age or disability. Such action shall include employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre -apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training." DOT ADA regulation 49 CFR 37.41 requires that, "A public entity shall construct any new facility to be used in providing designated public transportation services so that the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs 11 Per DOJ ADA standards, construction of each new facility or part of a facility, or the alteration of existing facilities after January 26, 1992, is required to conform to the standards designated under the Title II regulation. While it is recognized that the responsible licensed architect or engineer for any RCTC project assumes full responsibility for compliance with all accessibility and building 01 July, 2022 las RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan code requirements, there is no mention in Appendix 01, RCTC's Model Contract language, about conducting accessibility inspections during construction. An evaluation of physical barriers in existing RCTC facilities identified compliance issues with respect to meeting the requirements of the ADA standards applicable at the time of construction/alterations in some locations. Attachments 6A through 6P identify these issues and Attachment 8 - Transition Plan identifies the solutions. General nondiscrimination questions discussed earlier were sent to the staff liaisons responsible for construction of Capital Projects and responses were reviewed. Based on a review of Appendices 01, C2, and C3 and the responses received to general nondiscrimination questions, it is recommended that: a) Accessibility construction inspections be conducted on all projects under construction by ROTC consultants. Progress inspections (on -site inspections of accessibility features and construction elements affecting accessibility compliance) help to verify that all elements will be able to meet the minimum accessibility requirements of the California Building Code at the time of final inspection. b) For guidance on conducting accessibility construction inspections, RCTC should recommend their consultants use the "Accessibility Construction Inspection Checklist" provided by the California Commission on Disability Access free of charge on their website at: https://forms.dgs.ca.gov/content/forms/af/dgs/ccda/ccda- accessibility/public/ccda-accessibility-construction-inspection-checklist-2020- edition.html?. c) RCTC ensure that construction specifications include construction tolerances [to specify a dimension less than the required maximum (or more than the required minimum) by the amount of the expected field or manufacturing tolerance, and not to state any tolerance in conjunction with the specified dimension]. This will ensure that facilities and elements accomplish the level of accessibility intended by accessibility requirements. d) RCTC ensure that construction management consultant contracts include using local Certified Access Specialist (CASp) services within future construction projects to ensure that appropriate compliance is in place. A list of certified Access Specialists is found at this link: https://www.apps2.dgs.ca.gov/DSA/casp/casp certified list.aspx. 13.Staff Training and Support Questions were asked to determine if employees of RCTC are familiar with the policies and practices for the full participation of individuals with disabilities. Based on the responses received to various questions related to staff training, it is recommended that: a) ROTC staff be provided general and program specific training on state and federal disability civil rights laws and disability awareness starting with the introductory ADA Basic Building Blocks course https://www.adabasics.org/ to help increase knowledge and understanding of the basic principles and core concepts in the ADA and the ADAAA. ADA Training on various other topics can also be requested from the Pacific ADA center and Mid - Atlantic ADA center at these links: https://www.adapacific.org/request pacific-ada-center-training 01 July, 2022 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan https://www.adainfo.org/training/serving-customers-disabilities 14.ADA Related Drug Use Policy Title II requires that a public entity shall not discriminate on the basis of illegal use of drugs against an individual who is not engaging in current illegal use of drugs. RCTC's PPPM addresses drug use policies and is attached as Appendix D (see pages 65-68). The PPPM does not specifically address ADA related drug use and does not mention nondiscrimination against people who formerly used drugs illegally. The following question was asked to ascertain nondiscrimination against former drug users as opposed to individuals who are currently engaged in illegal use of drugs: 47) Does RCTC have a policy in place that prohibits discrimination against people who formerly used drugs illegally as opposed to individuals who are currently engaged in illegal use of drugs? If yes, provide copy of the policy. Based on the response received that "the policy does not clearly state nondiscrimination against people involved in former use of illegal drugs," it is recommended that: a) RCTC create a policy that prohibits discrimination against former users of drugs that complies with 28 CFR 35.131 (2) https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-28/chapter-I/part- 35/subpart-B/section-35.131. 7.2.3. Effective Communication Communicating successfully is an essential part of providing service to the public. The ADA requires public entities to take the steps necessary to communicate effectively with people who have disabilities. Many people who are blind or have low vision, who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have other communication disabilities are prevented from participating fully in programs, activities, and services because of communication issues. To address this, Title 11 requires that communication with people with disabilities be "as effective" as communication with others. Often good communication practices will suffice, such as not turning away when speaking with a person who is hard of hearing or taking the time to listen to a person who has a speech impairment. Other times a public entity needs to provide "auxiliary aids and services" to ensure that communication is effective. Attachment 3, Effective Communication Questionnaire, includes responses by the department of the Clerk of the Board which is primarily responsible for communication with the public. The following questions were asked and the responses are included in Attachment 3: 1) Auxiliary Aids and Services Does the public entity know how to provide the following for people who are deaf or hard of hearing a. Sign language, oral, and cued speech interpreters b. Video remote interpreting (VRI) services c. Computer -assisted real-time transcription (CART) services d. Assistive listening devices e. Open and closed captioning of videos f. Real time captioning of television programs g. Other: 2) Does the public entity know how to provide documents in the following formats for people who are blind or visually impaired and others with print disabilities? a. Braille 01 July, 2022 igo RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan b. large print c. Audio recordings d. Accessible electronic formats that that can be accessed by screen reading software, for example, documents in plain text or HTML e. Screen reader software installed on a computer that is used by the public, for example in a library f. Magnification software installed on a computer that is used by the public, for example in a computer lab g. Optical readers h. Other 3) Does the public entity have a policy or procedure to handle requests for auxiliary aids and services? 4) Are employees and officials aware of the public entity's obligation to provide auxiliary aids and services? 5) Do employees and officials know how to arrange for auxiliary aids and services? Arrangements could be made directly or through the ADA coordinator or another staff person. 6) Does the public entity give primary consideration to the person with a disability when determining what type of auxiliary aid or service to provide? 7) Are employees and officials aware that it is inappropriate to request that family members and friends of people who are deaf serve as sign language interpreters, except in emergencies or if the individual wants the family member or friend to interpret and it's appropriate to do so? 8) Are employees and officials aware that a companion of a program participant has a right to auxiliary aids and services if the companion has a communication disability and is an appropriate person with whom the public entity should or would communicate? Example: A deaf family member of a hospital patient might need a sign language interpreter to communicate with the doctor. 9) Are captions and audio description provided on videos and television programs the public entity produces and videos on its website? 10) Does the public entity have a policy or procedure for determining if an auxiliary aid or service would be an undue financial and administrative burden? The decision of undue hardship must be made by the head of the public entity or his or her designee. There must be a written statement explaining the reasons for reaching that decision. 11) Do employees and officials know how to respond to telephone calls made through Video Relay Services and Telecommunication Relay Services so that the calls are responded to in the same manner as other telephone calls? 12) Where telephones are available to the public for making outgoing calls, such as in hospital waiting rooms, are TTYs available for people with hearing and speech disabilities? A TTY is an electronic device for text communication over a telephone line that is designed for use by people with hearing or speech disabilities. 13) Do telephone emergency services, including 911, provide direct access to people who use TTYs and computer modems? 14) Does RCTC list "711 the California Relay" on business cards and letter heads also? 15) Have local resources been identified which can provide auxiliary aids for communication, as needed, by people with disabilities. 16) If critical information is released to the press, is an American sign language interpreter visible and within the screenshot, if television cameras are in use? 01 July, 2022 141 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 17) When announcements are distributed electronically, are they sent out in accessible PDF and Word documents simultaneously? ADA Nondiscrimination Notice (Appendix El) posted on RCTC's website https://www.rctc.org/wp- content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC-ADA Section -504 -Notice -and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05- w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf states that, "ROTC will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in RCTC's programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing or vision impairments." The contact information on RCTC's website also includes instructions for transit riders with hearing or speech impairments to use the California Relay Service, 711, and the number after that. Based on the responses received, it appears that staff may not be familiar with some auxiliary aids and services such as Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), computer -assisted real-time transcription (CART), and open captioning, implying that these may not become readily available to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. RCTC's documents are not available in Braille format due to unavailability of vendors providing the service and optical readers are not provided either. Electronic announcements are sent by email to people who have signed up to receive the email blasts, but accessible PDF and Word documents are not sent out. RCTC is occasionally invited to participate in various news interviews, but they depend on the news cast company to provide sign language interpreters. Policies and procedures state that auxiliary aids and services will be provided. However, there is no policy or procedure to determine if the requested auxiliary aid or service would be an undue financial and administrative burden. It is recommended that: a) As a reasonable accommodation, RCTC identify resources that can readily respond to requests for "auxiliary aids and services" to include but not be limited to: • qualified reader; a "qualified" reader is someone who is able to read effectively, accurately, and impartially, using any necessary specialized vocabulary; • print documents to be placed into alternate formats, such as braille, large print, or audio recording; • video/audio description production services; • qualified notetaker; • qualified interpreter; a "qualified" interpreter is someone who is able to interpret effectively, accurately, and impartially, both receptively (i.e., understanding what the person with the disability is saying) and expressively (i.e., having the skill needed to convey information back to that person) using any necessary specialized vocabulary; • VRI services is a video telecommunication service that uses devices such as web cameras or videophones to provide spoken language or sign language interpreting services; • real-time captioning (also known as CART) is a service similar to court reporting in which a transcriber types what is being said at a meeting or event into a computer that projects the words onto a screen; this service, which can be provided on -site or remotely, is particularly useful for people who are deaf or have hearing loss but do not use sign language; 01 July, 2022 4412 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan • printed scripts; • captioning production services; and • qualified speech -to -speech transliterator (a person trained to recognize unclear speech and repeat it clearly). b) RCTC prepare a procedure for determining if the requested auxiliary aid or service would be an undue financial and administrative burden and if so, what other action will be taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities will receive the benefits or services provided by RCTC. When choosing an aid or service, Title II entities are required to give primary consideration to the choice of aid or service requested by the person who has a communication disability. RCTC must honor the person's choice, unless it can demonstrate that another equally effective means of communication is available, or that the use of the means chosen would result in a fundamental alteration or in an undue burden. If the choice expressed by the person with a disability would result in an undue burden or a fundamental alteration, the public entity still has an obligation to provide an alternative aid or service that provides effective communication if one is available. RCTC should train employees so they know the policies and the appropriate procedures to follow when they receive a request for an interpreter. c) RCTC provide staff who have contact with the public, create publications, or correspond with members of the public comprehensive training on disability etiquette, effective communication, and pertinent Civil Rights mandates. ADA training on various topics can be requested from the Pacific ADA center at this link: https://www.adapacific.org/request pacific-ada-center-training. Many local disability organizations, including Centers for Independent Living, conduct ADA trainings in their communities. The DOJ's ADA Information Line can provide local contact information for these organizations https://www.ada.gov/infoline.htm. d) RCTC consider adding "711 the California Relay" on business cards and letter heads. Provide additional training to staff on the use of "711, California Relay" as to why this is one effective option for communicating with people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech disabilities. Note: The free nationwide telecommunications relay service (TRS), reached by calling 7-1-1, uses communications assistants (also called CAs or relay operators) who serve as intermediaries between people who have hearing or speech disabilities who use a text telephone (TTY) or text messaging and people who use standard voice telephones. The communications assistant tells the telephone user what the other party is typing and types to tell the other party what the telephone user is saying. TRS also provides speech -to -speech transliteration for callers who have speech disabilities. e) RCTC examine voicemail systems and telephone information lines to ensure they are accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. f) When RCTC announcements are distributed electronically, they should be sent out in accessible PDF and Word documents simultaneously. It was also found that RCTC does not have written procedures in place for testing the communication instruments installed at the stations to ensure direct and equal access. Some of the phones connect directly to the Police/911/Sheriff while others connect to the Security Control Center at Riverside Downtown Station. It is recommended that: 01 July, 2022 143 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 9) RCTC ensure that all instruments maintained by RCTC are regularly tested to determine whether TTY equipment functions properly and ensure that responding personnel have been adequately trained to handle TTY calls correctly. An internal testing program should be implemented. h) RCTC should: • Prepare a written description of equipment used for emergency communications and how that equipment handles TTY calls; • Prepare policies or procedures regarding how the emergency communications services handle silent, open line calls; • Prepare materials used in training emergency communications call takers about TTYs and the handling of TTY calls and information about the frequency of such training. Both primary and secondary public safety answering points have the same responsibilities under the ADA; • Prepare a policy regarding maintenance and back-up of TTY equipment and the policy regarding maintenance and back-up of equipment for handling standard voice telephone calls; • Prepare a policy regarding testing of TTY equipment and the handling of TTY calls and policy regarding testing of standard voice call -taking equipment and the handling of standard voice calls; TTY equipment must be maintained and tested as often as voice equipment to ensure that it is working properly; • Review and record the results of unannounced test calls made to emergency communications services telephone number with a TTY; • Record statistics for response time to standard voice calls as compared to TTY calls received by the service (if one cannot identify which emergency calls were TTY calls, use the response time for unannounced TTY test calls); and • Include, at a minimum, the date and time of each test call; the identification of the call taker and the call -taking position; whether each call was silent or transmitted tones; whether the caller received a TTY response and the content of the TTY response. i) Meet with hearing impaired individuals to find out their experiences in contacting 9-1-1 and emergency communications services. Train their call takers to effectively recognize and process TTY calls. Training should be mandatory for all personnel who may have contact with individuals from the public who have hearing or speech disabilities. RCTC should offer a refresher training at least as often as they require, but at a minimum, every six months. k) Stay informed about emerging communication technologies as well as the technical abilities of telecommunications equipment and service providers. 1) Utilize information in the following link to determine if emergency communications service is providing effective communication as required by Title 11 of the ADA: https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap4chklist.htm. 7.2.4. Website Accessibility Many people with disabilities use assistive technology such as screen readers, text enlargement software, and programs that enable people to control the computer with their voice, eyes, or nose. Access problems occur when website designers assume that everyone sees and accesses a webpage in the same way. Accessible website design recognizes these differences and does not require people to see, hear, or use a standard mouse to access the information and services J) 01 July, 2022 i$4 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan provided. Attachment 4, Website Accessibility, includes questions and responses by RCTC personnel who are responsible for the policy for website accessibility. To evaluate the website accessibility, the following questions were asked: 1) Is there a policy that the public entity's webpages will be accessible, that is, in compliance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 or Section 508 Standards? 2) Are the staff and contractors who are responsible for webpage and content development aware of the policy? 3) Are the staff and contractors who are responsible for webpage and content development knowledgeable about these standards? 4) Has the website been tested for compliance with either of these standards? 5) If yes, have people with disabilities who use screen reading software and other assistive technology participated in the evaluation? 6) Is there a plan for making the existing web content accessible? 7) Is there a plan for making future web content accessible? The DOJ considers websites to be an integral aspect of how Title II entities interact with their citizens and the public and therefore they need to be accessible. Until there are ADA Standards for accessible information technology, the Department recommends compliance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. Based on the review of responses, RCTC does not currently have a policy requiring compliance with DOJ recommended guidelines. RCTC reviews/scans the website on a monthly basis to check for accessibility compliance but people with disabilities who use screen reading software and other assistive technology have not participated in the evaluation. Responses regarding plans for making existing and future web content accessible are inconclusive. The WAVE website evaluation tool available at https://wave.webaim.orq was used to evaluate RCTC's website https://www.rctc.org/. The tool identified errors, contrast errors, alerts, instances of missing alternative texts in images and linked images, missed or unordered heading lists, and errors with page functionality when using a keyboard. RCTC's website states that RCTC is continually seeking to improve its website experience for visitors. RCTC is working to make its web content more accessible to users in general and to people with disabilities. The RCTC website is in process of making updates including accommodations for blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, and some accommodation for learning disabilities and cognitive limitations. It is recommended that: a) A website accessibility policy be created and distributed to the staff responsible for developing the website, requiring the web content to be accessible in compliance with ADA Title 11 and Section 508. The policy must ensure that content is not added to the website until it has been made accessible. b) RCTC instruct their web developer team to utilize the WAVE tool and remove the identified barriers to improve accessibility of its web content. Also, refer to the checklist available on https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap5chklist.htm for conducting a preliminary assessment. c) RCTC engage users to check the accessibility features and/or hire an independent external web and internet access consultant team for evaluating the accessibility of the website, webpages, and assisting in the implementation of the access improvements 01 July, 2022 05 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan which are needed for making the content accessible to people with disabilities. A list of website accessibility consultants is available from https://wimgo.com/s/usa/accessibility-consultants/ and https://www.dor.ca.gov/Home/Vendors. d) The RCTC website development team also be provided comprehensive training on making website, webpages, and documents accessible to people with disabilities in compliance with the DOJ recommended standards. The Great Plains ADA center is a resource that provides training on various topics, including website accessibility, which is available at this link: https://gpadacenter.org/training-tailored-your- needs. WebAIM is another resource recommended by Great Plains ADA Center for website accessibility knowledge, consultation, and training, which is available at this link: https://webaim.org/services/. 7.2.5. Administrative Requirements Title II requires that public entities undertake five administrative steps to promote implementation of the ADA. These are mentioned in Chapter 3, Section 3.1, and are also addressed in Attachment 5, Administrative Requirements. 1) Self -evaluation 2) Public Notice (found at https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC-ADA Section - 504 -Notice -and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05-w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf) 3) Grievance Procedures (found at https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ada- grievance-procedure.original REV.2022.06.pdf) 4) ADA Coordinator: Aaron Hake, Deputy Executive Director, Phone: (951) 787-7141 Address: 4080 Lemon Street, Third Floor, P. O. Box 12008, Riverside, CA 92502-2208 5) Transition Plan to address barriers in facilities To assess compliance with five key administrative requirements of Title I I , the following questions were asked: 1) Has a self -evaluation been conducted? 2) Is public notice that the public entity does not discriminate on the basis of disability provided in print and audio formats? 3) Has a grievance procedure been adopted to resolve disability -related complaints? (Required if 50 or more employees.) 4) Has at least one employee been appointed to coordinate the public entity's ADA obligations - ADA Coordinator? (Required if 50 or more employees.) 5) Has a transition plan been developed to address barriers in facilities that affect equal participation of people with disabilities in the public entity's programs, activities, and services? (Required if 50 or more employees.) RCTC has completed all five requirements through the issuance of this report. The Public ADA Notice of compliance is posted on the website in print format but is not available in audio. It is recommended that: a) The Nondiscrimination Statement (Appendix El) be disseminated to all staff on an annual basis. 01 July, 2022 146 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan b) RCTC provide the Nondiscrimination Statement in print and audio format on the RCTC website, social media such as Twitter and Facebook, print notices at facilities, and in local newspapers, program announcements, and when making public service announcements on local radio and television stations. 7.2.6. Facilities Assessment As described in Chapter 5, the checklists in the following attachments were used for assessing the ADA compliance of RCTC's facilities: • Attachment 6X, ADA Checklists for Permanent Pedestrian Circulation Paths • Attachment 6Y, ADA Checklists for Building Elements Results of the evaluation are detailed in Attachments 6A through 6P. 7.2.7. Program Accessibility Program Accessibility allows recipients to make their federally assisted programs and activities available to individuals with disabilities without extensive retrofitting of their existing buildings and facilities by offering those programs through alternative methods since the cost of retrofitting existing facilities is often prohibitive. Facilities built before January 26, 1992, are referred to as "pre-ADA" facilities. If there is an architectural barrier to accessibility in a pre-ADA facility, one may remove the barrier using the ADA Standards for Accessible Design or UFAS as a guide, or one may choose to make the program, service, or activity located in the building accessible by providing "program access." RCTC facilities and stations are not "pre-ADA." For RCTC's stations used by the public, structural solutions are required to remove any physical barriers. These are listed in Attachments 6A through 61 and work will be prioritized as shown in Section 7.3.8. For RCTC employee facilities, some structural solutions are required to remove the identified physical barriers. These are listed in Attachments 6J through 6P and work will be prioritized as shown in Section 7.3.8. Nonstructural solutions to identified physical barriers are listed in Attachment 7, Program Accessibility, and also detailed in Attachment 9, Action Plan. 7.2.8. Transition Plan (Structural Solutions) The Transition Plan (Attachment 8) includes the following: a) Identification of physical barriers to access in each of RCTC's buildings and facilities as described in Attachments 6A through 6P. b) Description in detail of the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible by removing the physical barriers. c) Schedule for taking the steps necessary to achieve compliance with ADA requirements. Since the time period of the transition plan is expected to be longer than one year, the steps have been distributed over each year of the transition period for each facility. RCTC has set a series of progress dates for curb ramp compliance in each facility based on priorities and reasonable time frames. The actual number of curb ramps installed in any given year may be limited by fiscal constraints. A schedule for modification of other elements to provide access, in descending order of priority, as explained below, is also included in the transition plan. 01 July, 2022 i7 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Accessible elements which will provide the greatest access are given priority in the following order: Priority 1: Approach and Entrance (accessible routes from site entry points to an accessible entrance) • Curb ramps • Pedestrian road crossings • Sidewalks, including those from bus stops and parking areas • Bus stops • Entry/exit doors in RCTC employee facilities Priority 2: Accessible routes to critical program function areas • Walking surfaces, including pedestrian bridge and platforms • Elevators • Ramps including mini high platform ramps • Stairs • Pedestrian rail crossings • Assembly and common public areas (waiting shelters and TVMs) • Meeting/conference rooms in RCTC employee facilities Priority 3: Access to areas that support program functions • Telephones • Drinking fountains • Trash cans • Benches • Parking • Storage • Alarms • Restrooms and breakrooms open to the public in RCTC employee facilities Priority 4: Access to "Staff Only" areas not expected to be accessed by the public • Employee work areas and employee common use areas • Trash dumpster enclosures at stations • Staff toilets The priority order generally follows the order defined in Title II and 28CFR 35.151(b) 4 (iv). However, importance of the program function, frequency of use, program location, and its relation to other programmatic functions are used as criteria to prioritize modification of any chosen element in a facility over another. 01 July, 2022 a48 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 28 CFR § 35.151 (b) (4) (iv) In choosing which accessible elements to provide, priority should be given to those elements that will provide the greatest access, in the following order - (1) An accessible entrance; (2) An accessible route to the altered area; (3) At least one accessible restroom for each sex or a single unisex restroom; (4) Accessible telephones; (5) Accessible drinking fountains; and (6) When possible, additional accessible elements such as parking, storage, and alarms. 7.2.9. Action Plan (Non -Structural Solutions) Nonstructural solutions, such as written procedures for providing access to programs in inaccessible facilities, are included in Attachment 9, Action Plan. The Action Plan includes a list of issues, findings, solutions, and recommendations identified (see Attachments 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7). Dates for implementing the solutions and recommendations are also included. The ADA Coordinator is responsible for fulfilling RCTC's ADA obligations. RCTC's ADA Coordinator, Aaron Hake, is the responsible official for implementation of the ADA Transition Plan and ADA Action Plan. 01 July, 2022 i#19 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan 8 Conclusion This report and its attachments conclude the self -evaluation of RCTC's services, programs, policies, and practices as required by ADA Title II part 28 CFR §35.105. To identify all RCTC's programs, services, and activities, staff liaisons from the departments listed in Attachment 1, Departments and Programs, were contacted to provide information. RCTC's Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual (Appendix D) and model contract documents (Appendices 01, C2, and C3) were provided to the self -evaluation team for review. RCTC also provided information that complies with the administrative requirements of the ADA Title II part 28 CFR §35.106 and part 28 CFR §35.107 and includes a Notice of Compliance and a Grievance Procedure (Appendices El and E2) which are posted to their website. To determine whether RCTC employees and officials are familiar with RCTC's ADA obligations, questionnaires were distributed to staff from all RCTC departments listed in Attachment 1. The questionnaires sought to assess RCTC's familiarity with ADA Title II regulations related to general nondiscrimination, effective communication, website accessibility, and administrative requirements with respect to RCTC's aim of assuring equal access to its programs, services, and activities for persons having disabilities. An examination of RCTC's policies, procedures, programs, website, responses to questionnaires, and a review of model contract documents has identified some programmatic barriers that may limit accessibility by persons having disabilities. Results of the examination, findings, and potential compliance solutions are also presented in: Attachment 2 - General Nondiscrimination Attachment 3 - Effective Communication Attachment 4 - Website Accessibility Attachment 5 - Administrative Requirements To determine whether there are physical barriers to access RCTC's programs, 16 facilities (seven buildings/office spaces and nine rail stations) under RCTC's authority were surveyed for accessibility issues. Physical barriers that may limit accessibility by persons with disabilities were identified during the accessibility surveys. Attachments 6A through 6P documents these problems and provides potential solutions. Attachments 6X and 6Y are the checklist forms that were used to assess the facilities. The checklists are based on the various applicable ADA standards - DOJ 2010 ADA Standards, DOT ADA Standards (2006), 1991 Standards (when applicable), Caltrans' "Permanent Pedestrian Facilities ADA Compliance Handbook," and DIB 82- 06. Attachment 7, Program Accessibility, provides references to structural and nonstructural solutions to demonstrate that ROTC's services, programs, or activities, when "viewed in their entirety," will be accessible. Attachment 8, Transition Plan, is required by ADA Title II part 28 CFR §35.150 (d). The transition plan was developed from the self -evaluation and facilities accessibility surveys to assure equal opportunity and program accessibility. Finally, Attachment 9, Action Plan, lists a plan for actions that focus on non-structural changes. Assessing and improving website accessibility, policies that need to change to provide reasonable accommodations, updated emergency evacuation procedures, need for comprehensive staff training, improved techniques for effective communication, and specific 01 July, 2022 34,0 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan updates to nondiscrimination policies are the nonstructural solutions identified to achieving barrier free services, policies, and practices. Members of RCTC's self -evaluation team included staff and consultants with expertise in finance, budgeting, capital planning, facilities management, employment, contracts, purchasing, communications, public works, and accessibility. ADA regulation part 28 CFR §35.105 requires that public entities provide an opportunity for people with disabilities and other interested individuals or organizations to review and comment on the self -evaluation and transition plan. A draft of this report and its attachments was made available for public inspection by RCTC. We received one email from Richard Smith, CEO of the Independent Living Partnership. The email confirmed receipt of the notice and it included a link to their news release on a study "Transportation Bill of Rights Issued for Persons with Disabilities." No comments were provided on RCTC's ADA Self -Assessment and Transition Plan and a final version of this report is being issued. Entities that employ 50 or more persons are required to maintain the self -evaluation on file and make it available for public inspection for three years. The report will be available for public inspection for three years. RCTC also recognizes that the ADA Transition Plan is intended to be a living document which will be updated to include future operations and activities affecting compliance with ADA requirements that are not covered in this report. RCTC's ADA Coordinator, Aaron Hake, is responsible to ensure that RCTC will proceed with making the necessary nonstructural modifications in accordance with the target dates indicated in the Action Plan. Structural modifications indicated in the Transition Plan depend on fiscal constraints, but accessible elements which will provide the greatest access will be given priority with respect to importance of the program function, frequency of use, program location, and its relation to other programmatic functions. Requests for copies of the ADA Transition Plan and public comments should be directed to RCTC's ADA Coordinator, Aaron Hake. 01 July, 2022 U1 RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan Attachment 1 - Departments and Programs 01 July, 2022 152 (Departments and Programs J Public Entity Riverside County Transportation Commission Contact Person Aaron Hake Date 07-01-2022 Email ahake@rctc.org Phone 951.787.7141 To begin the self -evaluation, staff liaisons from RCTC's departments and programs who were contacted for the self -evaluation of the general nondiscrimination policies and department specific policies for ADA compliance are listed below: Departments and Programs Staff Liaison Evaluation Date Comments Clerk of Board Lisa Mobley 06-21-2021 External Affairs — Public Affairs David Knudsen 06-23-2021 Multimodal Services - Transit and Rail Management Lorelle Moe Luna 07-01-2021 RCTC services that have a direct interface with the public include Toll, FSP, and Vanpool.

Please provide policy numbers and copies of these policies, practices, and procedures to identify if any policy modifications need to be implemented. §35.130 (a) (a) No qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any public entity. Clerk of the Board Lisa Mobley Yes Policies provided by HR All departments are aware of RCTC's HR policies addressing nondiscrimination per ADA requirements within the PPPM. Staff rely on contract language and procurement policies for each contract to ensure compliance to ADA requirements for contracted services. The current contract language provided for review does not specifically mention compliance with the ADA even as it requires consultants and contractors to comply with all Laws and Regulations. RCTC should review the uniform contract language for contracting services (consultants and construction contracts) to ensure that it is worded in a nondiscriminatory manner, holding vendors/contractors/ consultants to State and Federal disability civil rights mandates that RCTC is subject to under law, specifically including compliance to the ADA set forth under 28 CFR 35. External Affairs - Public Affairs David Knudsen Yes www.rctc.org/about Link includes our ADA policy and grievance procedure and our Title VI policy and complaint process. Documents are provided in English and in Spanish Regional Conservation Agency Aaron Hake Yes Public meetings and public records: RCA adheres to the practices and procedures of RCTC in administering public meetings and public records. They are managed by the same staff. If the Clerk of the Board's operations are ADA compliant for RCTC then they are therefore compliant for RCA. RCA Reserve Management / Monitoring Manager Tricia Campbell Yes In terms of working at the RCTC/RCA, I do not see anything that would discriminate against someone with a disability. We manage natural lands and any trails that are present at the time we acquire the land remain, but they are not regional or recognized trails and they are not advertised as recreational opportunities. They may or may not be ADA compliant. Our mandate is that we can keep any existing "trails" but we are not allowed as a Permittee of the MSHCP to upgrade trails. Multimodal Services -Transit and Rail Management Lorelle Moe Luna Yes As an oversight agency, our primary role is in regional programs is to provide funding to local agencies. RCTC services that have a direct interface with the public include Toll, FSP, and Vanpool. Other activities may include public and community meetings.

RCTC contractually requires the contractors and approved vendors to comply with ADA requirements. All RCTC Van Club approved vanpool vendors have accessible vehicles available for vanpool groups that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On construction sites, there are exclusions/ restrictions cited for field construction positions with regard to safety. It is recommended that RCTC's legal counsel review job descriptions for construction field positions prior to posting them to ensure ADA compliance and to confirm that the exclusions or restrictions are necessary to the operation of the program or to the safety of other participants External Affairs - Public Affairs David Knudsen No Re. ional Conservation A. enc Aaron Hake No See res.onse to #1 RCA Reserve Management/ Monitoring Manager Tricia Campbell No No. We do not have planned activities with the public.

However, the public entity must ensure that its safety requirements are based on actual risks, not on mere speculation, stereotypes, or generalizations about individuals with disabilities. Clerk of the Board Lisa Mobley No Not that I am aware of On construction sites, driving and exposure to live traffic is cited as an example of restriction imposed on persons having a disability. Based on a review of documents provided, RCTC's Model Contract- Request for Qualification -Consultant Contracts document (Appendix C1), does not specifically mention compliance with the ADA although it requires consultants and contractors to comply with all Laws and Regulations.

Consistent with the ADA Amendments Act's purpose of reinstating a broad scope of protection under the ADA, the definition of "disability" in this part shall be construed broadly in favor of expansive coverage to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA. The primary object of attention in cases brought under the ADA should be whether entities covered under the ADA have complied with their obligations and whether discrimination has occurred, not whether the individual meets the definition of "disability."

To address this, Title II requires that communication with people with disabilities be "as effective" as communication with others. Often good communication practices will suffice, such as not turning away when speaking with a person who is hard of hearing or taking the time to listen to a person who has a speech impairment. Other times a public entity needs to provide "auxiliary aids and services" to ensure that communication is effective. Questions Yes, or no? Comments Next Steps Auxiliary Aids and Services 1.

Accessible Routes a) Walking surface i. From curb ramp 5a, a sidewalk entering the facility is provided. The slope of the sidewalk is measured as 9.6% which matches the grade of the road but exceeds the maximum allowed slope for accessible ramps. ii. A vehicular ramp into the gated areas is perpendicular to the sidewalk described above . This causes a steep drop and excessive cross slope for the already steeply sloping sidewalk. iii. General: There are uneven joints and cracks observed in the concrete on the platforms and along accessible route. Sealant/filler in some deep joints is missing. This causes trip hazards and creates openings deeper than 1/4" and wider than V2 inch that do not comply with 302.3 and 303.3. (Figure on previous page) iv. Manhole covers create trip hazards and have gaps/openings wider than 1/z inch. v.

If the ramp is considered to be an entry to private property, then these requirements are not applicable, and this ramp is considered out of compliance. RCTC being a public agency, it can be assumed that the commuter rail stations owned by RCTC would be public property. It is recommended prior to initiating any repairs on the ramp, that this issue be reviewed by an ADA legal expert to determine final resolution. ii) Same as above.

Accessible Routes a) Walking surface i. General: At all walking surfaces including but not limited to ramps for mini high platforms and landing near the pedestrian bridge tower, there are uneven joints and cracks observed in the concrete walkway along the accessible route. Sealant/filler in some deep joints is missing. This causes trip hazards and creates openings deeper than 1/4" and wider than 1/2 inch. Examine all joints, cracks and level changes along the accessible route. Every joint in concrete deeper than 1/4" and wider than 1/2" shall be filled. Every level change along the accessible route greater than '/4" and less than 1/2" height needs to be beveled (1:2) slope or repaired.

Advisory 405.7 Landings. Ramps that do not have level landings at changes in direction can create a compound slope that will not meet the requirements of this document. Circular or curved ramps continually change direction. Curvilinear ramps with small radii also can create compound cross slopes and cannot, by their nature, meet the requirements for accessible routes. Note: Both the routes designated with ISA signage for "Accessible Route" do not seem to comply with accessibility requirements. Prompt repairs are needed to ensure accessibility. b) Elevator i. Audible signals which sound as the car passes or is about to stop at a floor are rather low and missed especially when a train passes the station [407.4.8] Check the annual elevator certification for compliance with all code and ADA requirements.

A public entity's services, programs, or activities, when "viewed in their entirety," must be accessible, this means each facility is not necessarily required to be accessible . This standard is known as "program accessibility" and is a key requirement under Title 11. Structural changes are not required where there are other feasible solutions such as moving a public event to an accessible location. However, structural changes lead to increased integration and accesibility, therefore they shoud be considered where feasible. Facilities built before January 26, 1992, are referred to as "pre-ADA" facilities. If there is an architectural barrier to accessibility in a pre- ADA facility, one may remove the barrier using the ADA Standards for Accessible Design or UFAS as a guide, or one may choose to make the program, service, or activity located in the building accessible by providing "program access. RCTC facilites and stations are not "pre-ADA". For RCTC stations used by the public, structural solutions are required to remove all the identified physical barriers. These barriers are identified in Attachments 6A through 61 and prioritized in Attachment 8, Transition Plan. For RCTC employee facilities, some structural solutions are required to remove the identified physical barriers. These are included in Attachments 6J through 6P and prioritized in Attachment 8, Transition Plan. Nonstructural solutions to make programs accessible in inaccessible facilities are listed here, and are detailed in Attachment 9, Action plan. RCTC's employee facilities are strictly restricted facilities meant for use by authorized personnel only. The entrance lobby and conference rooms of the RCTC office, RCTC Tenth Street office, and portions of the CSC are open to public. Accessibility issues related to general nondiscrimination, emergency management, effective communication, website, and administrative requirements such as public Notice of ADA compliance, and Grievance Procedure are identified in Attachments 2,3, 4, and 5.

Q. Box 12008, Riverside, CA 92502-2208 Email ahake©rctc.org Phone (951) 787-7141 In compliance with the ADA Title II § 35.150 (d) (3), the ADA Transition Plan includes: 1. Identification of physical obstacles in RCTC buildings and facilities that limit the accessibility of its programs or activities to individuals with disabilities. 2. Description of the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible. 3. Schedule (target dates) for taking the steps necessary to achieve compliance with ADA requirements in order of priority. Since the time period of the transition plan is longer than one year, steps that will be taken during each year of the transition period. 4. Name of RCTC's ADA Coordinator, Aaron Hake, as the official responsible for implementation of the ADA Transition Plan. Notes: a) The priority order assigned to schedule repairs of identified barriers generally follows the order defined in Title II and 28CFR 35.151(b) 4 (iv). Highest priority is assigned to providing an accessible entry (curb ramps) to the facilities (1), followed by ensuring accessible routes to program areas (2), followed by providing access to amenities (3), and providing access to staff areas (4). Importance of the program function, frequency of use, program location and its relation to other programmatic functions are used as criteria to prioritize modification of one chosen element over another. b) See Attachments 6A through 6P for aerial views, images of identified physical barriers, and details of the evaluation using latest ADA standards as recommended criteria. c) See Attachment 7, Program accessibility for applicable federal ADA standards that were used to evaluate each RCTC facility based on the age of facility and dates of alterations. See Attachment 9, Action Plan for nonstructural solutions to make RCTC facilities, services, and programs accessible in entirety. d) The unit costs and quantities noted in this document are based on rough estimates only. Actual costs for the work will be based on actual quantities measured in the field and multiplied by the unit costs of construction when actual work begins. Quantities noted in this plan are based on field observations, information shown on as -built drawings or on rough measurements taken from Google Earth images. The historic bid data for Caltrans construction cost is used a basis to calculate the estimated costs using this link https://sv08data.dot.ca.gov/contractcost/. For repairing curb ramps, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and cross walks an average cost of $750 per cubic yard (CY) concrete was used. Asphalt repair cost is estimated at $150 per square yard (SY) For items such as repairing cracks on concrete surfaces, cost is based on the assumption that one cubic yard concrete will be used to complete all minor repairs. For removing pavement markings and/or adding pavement markings an average cost of $20 per square feet (SF) was used. Average cost of pipe rails/ fences is estimated at $335 per linear foot (LF) Cost of exterior post mounted signs is estimated at $300 each (EA) and Interior signs at $50 each. Installation of detectable warning surface (DWS) tiles are estimated at $50 per square feet (SF) Filler pieces/plugs to close lifting holes in manhole covers are estimated at $20 each. Repairing joints with compressible filler and sealant is estimated at $20 per linear foot. Flangeway fillers are also estimated at $20 per linear foot. Trash cans are estimated at $500 each, Benches at $1,000 each, and new dumpster/gates at $1,500 each. Any modifications associated with moving or reinstalling phones or communication systems are estimated at $200 or $500 each. In employee facilities, costs are estimated for individual units of casework/millwork/furniture in breakrooms, restroom, print rooms and entry lobbies. Lumpsum costs are assumed for routine maintenance items such as adjusting door closers. e) Repairs and modifications will be addressed as part of RCTC's regularly scheduled maintenance and improvement projects from adoption of the ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan, using the priority order assigned to each item. RCTC's maintenance and improvement projects are identified on an annual basis and funding is sought and budgeted to implement the projects.

The non-structural solutions consist of development of process or procedures to address the barriers. This may also include staff training or revisions to existing documents (contract, procedure, procurement manual, or employment procedures). RCTC's programmatic barriers are identified through an evaluation of responses to questions documented in Attachments 2, 3, 4 and 5. The assessment of physical barriers to access are identified in Attachments 6A through 6P through accessibility surveys of each of their sixteen facilites. Nonstructural solutions to a few of those identified physical barriers are included here, as alternates to structural solutions. Structural solutions that are required to remove all physical barriers are listed in Attachment 8, Transition Plan. RCTC's ADA Coordinator, Aaron Hake is responsible for implementation of the Action Plan as per the target dates identified below. Issues General Nondiscrimination RCTC's Model Contracts were provided to the self - evaluation team for review. The current contract language for non -federally funded projects provided for review does not specifically mention compliance with the ADA Title 11, although it requires consultants and contractors to comply with all Laws and Regulations. Nonstructural Solutions • RCTC should review the uniform contract language for contracting services (for all consultants and construction contracts) to ensure that it is worded in a nondiscriminatory manner, holding vendors/contractors/ consultants to State and Federal disability civil rights mandates that RCTC is subject to under law, specifically including compliance to the ADA set forth under 28 CFR 35 (and the ADA Standards). Because RCTC receives federal financial assistance, a similar provision requiring compliance with Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act should be added as well. Target Date Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan Comments RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan - Attachment 9 Action Plan - Non Structural Solutions 01 July 2022 399 1 Issues 2. There appear to be exclusions/ restrictions preventing persons with disabilities from employment in field construction positions where driving and exposure to live traffic are cited as examples of safety concern. Contracting with External Organizations 3. Some of RCTC's staff responsible for contracting with external agencies are not fully familiar that RCTC's ADA obligations apply whether the RCTC provides the service, program, or activity directly or contracts for it. 4. RCTC does not specifically require assurances from contractors of their fulfillment of ADA title 11 requirements for non - federally funded projects Nonstructural Solutions • It is recommended that RCTC's legal counsel review job descriptions for construction field positions prior to their posting to ensure ADA compliance, and to confirm that the exclusions or restrictions are necessary to the operation of the program and/or for the safety of all participants. • As a best practice, RCTC should require assurances from contractors of their fulfillment of Title II requirements. • RCTC should update contract provisions and specifications to specifically include that contractors need to provide the services, programs, and activities in a nondiscriminatory manner consistent with ADA Title II requirements. • RCTC should provide guidance to staff involved in the purchasing process to ensure that public funds are not being used to create barriers to access. For example, when purchasing new equipment or furniture, RCTC should ensure that any purchased equipment or furniture should be ADA compliant and provide equal access to those with disabilities • RCTC should require accessibility reviews of designs for new construction or renovation projects for compliance to ADA standards.

The ADA Nondiscrimination Notice on the RCTC website states that "RCTC will make reasonable accommodations to policies and procedures to ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities". However, some departments were not aware of this notice. Nonstructural Solutions On an annual basis, staff in all departments should be provided with the ADA Nondiscrimination Notice that is posted on the RCTC website. https://www.rctc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/RCTC- ADA Section -504 -Notice -and -Complaint -Procedure -c2 2018.05- w BBK-Revisions-c2.pdf Target Date Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan Comments Service animals, mobility devices, etc. RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan - Attachment 9 Action Plan - Non Structural Solutions 01 July 2022 401 3 Issues Nonstructural Solutions Target Date Comments 6. 7. There appears to be no policy for providing statements of reasons for reaching a conclusion that a reasonable accommodation might result in undue financial or administrative burden in providing reasonable accommodations. RCTC staff is not aware of the person responsible for determination of undue burden who is also required to take other action to ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the benefits or services provided by RCTC. . RCTC should establish an internal procedure for documenting reasonable modification requests (such as allowing service animals) and identify the person/s responsible for deciding which request would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, or accommodations. And if so, will take other action to ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the benefits or services provided by RCTC. Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan 8. RCTC's written policies do not specifically address service animals. Some departments are unaware or unsure of the requirements related to allowing service animals as a type of a reasonable accommodation. • ' RCTC should provide ADA regulations that address service animals to all staff in all departments. Staff involved in dealing with the public should be provided comprehensive training regarding ADA title 11 requirements addressing wheelchairs, service animals, provision of adequate space, and relief areas for service animals in public meetings/events.

RCTC departments are generally aware but RCTC's PPPM and other policies do not specifically address wheelchairs and other power -driven mobility devices; which power- driven mobility devices will be permitted, and where and when they can be used. These requirements have not been formally communicated to departments either. RCTC provide ADA regulations regarding power driven mobility devices to all staff in all departments Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan Ticketing 10. RCTC does not directly sell tickets for any events. So, there are no policies to ensure that individuals with disabilities have an equal opportunity to purchase tickets for accessible seating. • Although requirements for the sale of tickets are not applicable to RCTC, RCTC should consider reserving accessible seats in the front at future ribbon cutting and other public events held by RCTC. Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan - Attachment 9 01 July 2022 403 Action Plan - Non Structural Solutions 5 Issues Maintenance of Accessible Routes 11. There does not seem to be a policy in place for maintenance of accessible features, especially where public meetings are held. Staff Training and Support 12. RCTC employees are generally aware and sensitive to disability issues of their own accord, but they have not yet received formal training regarding ADA, disability awareness and first person contact. Note: Training on other ADA related topics is also noted as an action item against other identified issues. Nonstructural Solutions • RCTC should ensure that staff and consultants responsible for setting off site meetings are aware that ADA requirements need to be complied with such as holding meetings and events on accessible routes, incorporating clear spaces, accessible room set-up and integrated seating. If events are to be coordinated and arranged by external consultants, the consultant's scope of work for the events should clearly include compliance with all ADA requirements. • Staff having public contact should be trained in "disability" awareness, interactions with people with disabilities, disability civil rights laws, and disability etiquette. A free, self -paced web course for discovering the best practices for effectively working and interacting with people who have disabilities is found at this link: https://adata.org/project/your-service-welcoming-customers- disabilities-your-one-stop-center • RCTC staff should be provided general and program specific training on State and Federal disability civil rights laws and disability awareness starting with the introductory, ADA Basic Building Blocks course https://www.adabasics.org/ to help increase knowledge and understanding of the basic principles and core concepts in the ADA and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). • ADA Training on various other topics can also be requested from the Pacific ADA center and Mid -Atlantic ADA center at these links: https://www.adapacific.orq/request pacific-ada-center-training. https://www.adainfo.org/training/serving-customers-disabilities Target Date Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan Comments Some public meetings are held in venues maintained by others.

Emergency evacuation plans or procedures for stations and some facilities were not available for review. It is unclear if RCTC's ADA coordinator is involved in the emergency plan creation, drills, and debriefings. Nonstructural Solutions • The National ADA Symposium is another resource. It is held annually and is an initiative of the ADA National Network found at this link http://www.adasymposium.org/ • The ADA National Network made up of the ten ADA Centers and their state affiliates provide training on every aspect of the ADA. See http://adata.org/ • The ADA coordinator should utilize resources available at this link to become involved in the preparation of emergency evacuation procedures. https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap7emergencymgmt.htm • RCTC should provide comprehensive training to staff involved in emergency planning and preparedness, addressing effective communications, evacuating from a place of danger, sheltering, evacuating people to a place of safety, adaptive evacuation equipment (if or when used), and evacuation of service animals. The Pacific ADA Center is a resource for webinars, tip sheets, and podcasts on emergency preparedness to help shed light on disability and ADA issues in emergency preparedness and management.

Progress inspections (on -site inspections of accessibility features and construction elements affecting accessibility compliance) help to verify that all elements will be able to meet the minimum accessibility requirements of the California Building Code at the time of final inspection. For guidance on conducting accessibility construction inspections, RCTC should recommend their consultants to use the checklist provided by California Commission on Disability Access web site at https://forms.dgs.ca.gov/content/forms/af/dqs/ccda/ccda- Within 0-2 years from adoption of the ADA Self - Evaluation and Transition Plan accessibility/public/ccda-accessibility-construction-inspection- checklist-2020-edition.html? for the "Accessibility Construction Inspection Checklist", which is free of charge and is also used by the building code officials. RCTC should ensure that construction specifications include construction tolerances [to specify a dimension less than the required maximum (or more than the required minimum) by the amount of the expected field or manufacturing tolerance and not to state any tolerance in conjunction with the specified dimension] This will ensure that facilities and elements accomplish the level of accessibility intended by accessibility requirements. RCTC should ensure that CM consultant contracts include using local Certified Access Specialist (CASp) services within future construction projects to ensure that appropriate compliance is in place.

RCTC's personnel policies and procedures manual does not clearly state nondiscrimination against people involved in former use of illegal drugs. Nonstructural Solutions • RCTC should create a policy that prohibits discrimination against former users of drugs that complies with 28 CFR 35.131 (2).https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-28/chapter-I/part-35/subpart- B/section-35.131 Target Date Comments RCTC ADA Self -Evaluation and Transition Plan - Attachment 9 Action Plan - Non Structural Solutions 01 July 2022 410 12 Issues Effective Communication 19. Some RCTC staff responsible for providing auxiliary aids and services are not familiar with some auxiliary aids and services such as VRI, CART, and open captioning, implying that these may not become available to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. 20. RCTC's documents are not available in Braille format due to unavailability of vendors providing the service, and optical readers are not provided either. Nonstructural Solutions As a reasonable accommodation, RCTC should identify resources, and contract with vendors that can readily respond to requests for "auxiliary aids and services" to include but not be limited to: a) qualified reader; A "qualified" reader means someone who is able to read effectively, accurately, and impartially, using any necessary specialized vocabulary. b) print documents to be placed into alternate formats; such as braille or audio recording c) video/audio description production services; d) qualified notetaker; e) qualified interpreter; A "qualified" interpreter means someone who is able to interpret effectively, accurately, and impartially, both receptively (i.e., understanding what the person with the disability is saying) and expressively (i.e., having the skill needed to convey information back to that person) using any necessary specialized vocabulary f) Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services; VRI, is a video telecommunication service that uses devices such as web cameras or videophones to provide spoken language or sign language interpreting services. real-time captioning; (also known as computer -assisted real-time transcription, or CART) is a service similar to court reporting in which a transcriber types what is being said at a meeting or event into a computer that projects the words onto a screen.

There is no policy or procedure which requires decision makers to give primary consideration to the auxiliary aid or service requested by the person with a disability when deciding which auxiliary aid or service to provide and, if the requested auxiliary aid or service would be an undue financial and administrative burden. 22. RCTC's website includes instructions for riders with hearing or speech impairments to use the California Relay Service, 711, but business cards and letter heads do not list this. Nonstructural Solutions • Prepare a procedure for determining if the requested auxiliary aid or service would be an undue financial and administrative burden and if so, what other action will be taken in to ensure that individuals with disabilities will receive the benefits or services provided by RCTC. When choosing an aid or service, title II entities are required to give primary consideration to the choice of aid or service requested by the person who has a communication disability. RCTC must honor the person's choice, unless it can demonstrate that another equally effective means of communication is available, or that the use of the means chosen would result in a fundamental alteration or in an undue burden. If the choice expressed by the person with a disability would result in an undue burden or a fundamental alteration, the public entity still has an obligation to provide an alternative aid or service that provides effective communication if one is available • Train employees so they know the policies and the appropriate procedures to follow when they receive a request for an interpreter or other auxiliary aid or service • Responsible staff should enroll in ADA Training on effective communication which can be requested from the Pacific ADA center at this link: https://www.adapacific.org/request pacific-ada-center- training. • Examine voice mail systems and telephone information lines to ensure they are accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. • Provide additional training to staff on the use of " 711, California Relay" as to why this is one effective option for communicating with people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech disabilities.

August 22, 2022 16 AGENDA ITEM 8 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: August 22, 2022 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Eric DeHate, Transit Manager THROUGH: Lorelle Moe -Luna, Multimodal Services Director SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2022/23 State of Good Repair Program Allocations STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Approve Resolution No. 22-016, "Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Approving the FY 2022/23 Project List for the California State of Good Repair Program"; 2) Approve an allocation of $4,376,624 related to Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 State of Good Repair (SGR) program funds to eligible Riverside County transit operators; 3) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to review, approve and submit projects to Caltrans which are consistent with SGR program guidelines and to execute and submit required documents for the SGR program, including the Authorized Agent Form; 4) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to approve administrative amendments to the FY 2022/23 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) for incorporation of the SGR funds, as necessary; and 5) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The SGR program was established through Senate Bill (SB) 1 in April 2017 and is funded from a portion of the new Transportation Improvement Fee on vehicle registrations. SGR provides approximately $105 million annually to transit operators in California for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation, and capital projects. Funds are apportioned similar to the State Transit Assistance program formula, utilizing two categories for funding: population and transit operator revenues. Apportionments by population are discretionary and fall under Public Utilities Code (PUC) 99313, and apportionments based on transit operator revenues are non - discretionary and fall under PUC 99314. Apportionments for both PUC 99313 and 99314 are determined by the State Controller's Office (SCO). The total estimated amount of SGR funds available to Riverside County for FY 2022/23 is $4,376,624. Of this amount, $3,760,695 is apportioned by population under PUC 99313, and will be sub -allocated by the Commission. PUC 99314 provides $615,929 directly to the transit operators as determined by the SCO. Agenda Item 8 433 As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency for Riverside County, the Commission has the following responsibilities: • Receive and allocate SGR funds to transit operators based on local needs (PUC 99313) and based on formula amounts published by the SCO (PUC 99314); • Via board resolution, approve the annual list of SGR projects submitted by the public transit operators and ensure funds are expended on SGR-eligible activities; • Complete an updated authorized agent form; and • Comply with all relevant federal and state laws, regulations, and policies for funding. In order to receive funding for FY 2022/23, by September 1, the Commission is required to submit to Caltrans a resolution, which confirms the Commission is an eligible project sponsor and may receive, distribute, concur and approve the list of projects, which are to be funded under the SGR program. Revised SGR funding amounts were released on August 1, 2022. Due to the board meeting schedule, Caltrans approved the Commission's request to submit an approved resolution and project list by September 30. Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 22-016, which is included as Attachment 1 to the report. Sub -allocations for PUC 99313 are apportioned by the Commission based on need and the amounts allocated to each operator is presented in Attachment 2. Staff expects that transit operators will program these funds in their FY 2023/24 SRTP, but they may request an amendment to the current SRTP if needed. It is important to note that the funding allocation is an estimate provided by the SCO. Actual funds received are based on the Transportation Improvement Fee collected on vehicle registrations. Most funding sources the Commission oversees have a fund balance, which provides stability in changes to economic conditions and allows projects and programs to move forward even during economic uncertainty. Caltrans requires all SGR funds to be programmed and operators are encouraged to use these funds as expeditiously as possible. While Caltrans prefers this type of programming, it can leave little to no fund balance, which can affect project estimates. Staff included the January 2022 estimates provided by the SCO for SGR funding allocations concurrently with the annual SRTP allocation process approved by the Commission in June. Staff did not include the resolution during that process anticipating a revised estimate in August from the SCO and subsequent board authorization. The August 2022 estimate provided by the SCO, shows a decrease of .05 percent or $2,213 below the January 2022 estimate that is included in the budget for FY 2022/23. Any decreases in funding allocations will be within the approved amount the Commission authorizes and can be amended administratively. Any increases in funding allocations to the transit operators beyond this amount will be brought back to the Commission for approval during the mid -year staff report. Agenda Item 8 434 FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are distributed to the Commission quarterly from the SCO with the final payment expected in September 2023. The current estimated funds from the revised August estimate are included in the FY 2022/23 budget.

AUGUST 22, 2022 4 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION QUESTIONS AGENDA ITEM 9 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: August 22, 2022 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Monica Morales, Senior Management Analyst THROUGH: Lorelle Moe -Luna, Multimodal Services Director SUBJECT: Agreement for Transit Funding Handbook STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Award Agreement No. 22-62-089-00 to AMMA Transit Planning to develop the Transit Funding Handbook for a one-year term, in the amount of $189,985, plus a contingency amount of $9,500, for a total amount not to exceed $199,485; 2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to finalize and execute the agreement, on behalf of the Commission; 3) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to approve contingency work up to the total not to exceed amount as required for these services; and 4) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is responsible for approving all federal, state, and local formula funding to the public transit operators in the County through the annual Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process. The Commission is also responsible for providing financial oversight as the regional transportation planning agency through implementation of policies and procedures regarding performance monitoring, financial auditing, and reporting of the transit operators as required by the Transportation Development Act (TDA). Public transit operators must submit an updated SRTP annually to be eligible for federal, state, and local funds. The SRTP is a budgeting and planning document that includes a three to five- year planning horizon. The SRTP describes each transit operator's current transit network, how that network is performing, future changes to that network, and a financially constrained plan on how to pay for future operating and capital needs. An approved SRTP by the Commission is required for a transit operator to receive its annual allocation of federal, state, and local funds. The Commission awards funds every three years to eligible social service agencies and nonprofit agencies for discretionary programs such as the Measure A Specialized Transit Program. Agenda Item 9 438 Currently, transit policies and procedures are found in various staff reports and outdated documents such as the RCTC Transit and Specialized Transit Desk Procedures, Measure A Specialized Transit Program Guidelines, and other various legacy guidance documents. These guides are typically separated from each other and not consolidated into a formalized document. DISCUSSION: Commission staff would like to improve its resources for transit operators by creating a user-friendly "how to" reference guide and policy manual for the transit -related formula and discretionary funds under the Commission's purview such as: Federal Transit Administration Section 5307, 5337 5339, 5311 and 5311(f) Programs TDA Local Transportation Funds TDA State Transit Assistance Senate Bill 1 State of Good Repair State Low Carbon Transit Operations Program Measure A Specialized Transit Commission staff seeks to develop a multi -volume Transit Funding Handbook to include policies and procedures on the distribution and allocation of funds to transit operators within the County. The scope of the project consists of three key documents: 1. Transit Funding Policies Manual; 2. Transit Funding Procedures Manual; and 3. Transit Operator Funding Guide The overall goal of this project is to identify, update and combine all Commission approved transit and specialized transit policies and procedures into a living manual; as well as create an operator funding guide that will detail the roles and responsibilities of both RCTC and transit agencies. Procurement Process Staff determined the weighted factor method of source selection to be the most appropriate for this procurement, as it allows the Commission to identify the most advantageous proposal with price and other factors considered. Non -price factors include elements such as qualifications of firm and personnel and understanding and approach for a Transit Funding Handbook as set forth under the terms of Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-62-089-00. RFP No. 22-62-089-00 for the Transit Funding Handbook was released by staff on May 26, 2022. The RFP was posted on the Commission's PlanetBids website, which is accessible through the Commission's website. Utilizing PlanetBids, emails were sent to 795 firms, 1 of which is in Riverside County. Through the PlanetBids site, 20 firms downloaded the RFP, 1 of which is in Riverside County. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers by June 16, 2022. Four firms — AMMA Transit Planning (Riverside), Capital Partnership, Inc. (San Francisco), Agenda Item 9 439 Michael Baker International, Inc. (San Diego), and Zilo International Group, LLC. (Centennial, CO) - submitted responsive proposals prior to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on June 30, 2022. Utilizing the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP, all firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission, San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, and Riverside Transit Agency staff. Based on the evaluation committee's assessment of the written proposals and pursuant to the terms of the RFP, the evaluation committee shortlisted and invited two firms to the interview phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews of the shortlisted firms — AMMA Transit Planning, and Michael Baker International were conducted on July 19, 2022. As a result of the completion of the evaluation process, the evaluation committee recommends contract award to AMMA Transit Planning to develop the Transit Funding Handbook for a 12 -month base period, as this firm earned the highest total evaluation score. A summary of the proposed costs submitted with the written proposals and the total evaluation score rankings following the final evaluation are summarized below: AMMA Transit Planning $189,984 1 Michael Baker International $194,047 2 Capital Partnership, Inc. Zilo International Group $176,600 $185,310 3 4 Accordingly, staff recommends the award of Agreement No. 22-62-089-00 for the Transit Funding Handbook for a 12 -month base period to AMMA Transit Planning in the amount of $189,985, plus a contingency amount of $9,500, for a total amount not to exceed $199,485 (Attachment 1). The Commission's standard form professional services agreement will be entered into with AMMA Transit Planning subject to any changes approved by the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review. Staff also recommends authorization for the Chair or Executive Director to finalize and execute the agreement and authorization of the Executive Director, or designee, to approve contingency work up to the total not to exceed amount as required for Transit Funding Handbook. Next Steps Upon completion of the Transit Funding Handbook, Commission staff may return to the Commission with a presentation of any necessary policy changes that the Commission would need to consider and adopt.

The Commission's governing body consists of all five members of the County Board of Supervisors; one elected official from each County's 28 cities; and one non -voting member appointed by the Governor of California. The Commission is responsible for setting policies, establishing priorities, and coordinating activities among the County's various transit operators and other agencies. The Commission also programs and/or reviews the allocation of federal, state, and local funds for highway, transit, rail, non - motorized travel (bicycle and pedestrian), and other transportation activities. The Commission is legally responsible for allocating Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, the major source of funds for transit in the County. TDA provides two sources of funding: Local Transportation Fund (LTF), derived from a one quarter of one -cent sales tax, and State Transit Assistance (STA), derived from the statewide sales tax on diesel fuel. In addition to TDA, transit operators are also able to receive Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) funding from the Cap -and -Trade Program, and State of Good Repair (SGR) Program funding from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Both programs are allocated according to the Public Utilities Code (PUC) governing the State Transit Assistance funds. The Commission serves as the tax authority and implementing agency for the voter approved Measure A Transportation Improvement Program. The County's electorate renewed Measure A in 2002 to impose a one-half of one cent sales tax to fund specific transportation programs that commenced in July 2009 and is in effect through June 2039. The Commission oversees and allocates Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds to public transit operators and works cooperatively with the Southern California Associated Governments (SCAG) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). SCAG is the designated recipient of formula FTA Sections 5307, 5337, and 5339 funds in large, urbanized areas (UZA) within its jurisdiction and Caltrans is the designated recipient for FTA Section's 5307, 5311, and 5339 for small and rural UZAs. Through a Memorandum of Understanding, the Commission is responsible for awarding formula FTA funds to transit operators within the county through the annual Short - Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process and programs funds into the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The Commission administers the western Riverside County vanpool program known as VanClub, owns and operates all nine (9) commuter rail stations in the county, and is a member agency of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, known as Metrolink. A-1 17336.00000\8752982.5 460 The Commission's Multimodal Services Department is responsible for approving all federal and state formula funding to the public transit operators in the County through the annual SRTP process. The Department is also responsible for providing financial oversight as the RTPA through implementation of policies and procedures regarding performance monitoring, financial auditing, and reporting of the transit operators as required by TDA. Transit operators must submit an updated SRTP annually to be eligible for federal, state, and local funds. The SRTP is a budgeting and planning document that includes a three to five-year planning horizon. The SRTP describes each transit operator's current transit network, how that network is performing, future changes to that network, and a financially constrained plan on how to pay for future operating and capital needs. An approved SRTP by the Commission is required for a transit operator to receive its annual allocation of federal, state, and local funds. PURPOSE AND NEED Currently, transit policies and procedures are found in various staff reports and outdated documents such as the RCTC Transit and Specialized Transit Desk Procedures, Measure A Specialized Transit Program Guidelines, and other various legacy guidance documents. These guides are typically separated from each other and not consolidated into a formalized document. Many of the transit operators rely on RCTC staff for information to complete required documents for funding. A user-friendly "how to" guide and policy manual is needed to document procedures and policies in a centralized location and serve as a refence guide. RCTC seeks to create a multi -volume Transit Funding Handbook to include policies and procedures on the distribution and allocation of funds to transit operators within the County. The multi -volume handbook shall consist of three key documents: 1. Transit Funding Policies Manual; 2. Transit Funding Procedures Manual; and 3. Transit Operator Funding Guide The objectives of this project are to: 1. Identify, update, and combine all Commission -approved transit and specialized transit policies into one single document; 2. Identify, update, and combine all existing transit funding and allocation -related desk procedures and/or develop procedures into one document working with internal staff; 3. Develop relevant narrative explanation and evaluate efforts for streamlining processes and procedures internally; 4. Develop a comprehensive user guide for transit operators; 5. Facilitate meaningful discussions and seek feedback from transit operators in the development of the user guide for transit operators; 6. Evaluate current processes and procedures and provide recommendations to improve effectiveness and efficiency; 7. Prepare the final multi -volume Transit Funding Handbook including any revised policy recommendations and updated processes and procedures; and 8. Provide training and technical sessions for staff and transit operators as necessary.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update On June 30, Governor Newsom signed the revised state budget and several trailer bills, which were a result of extensive negotiations between the Legislature and the Administration. This revised budget follows the budget framework, which was passed on June 13, 2022, in order to meet the constitutionally prescribed deadline of June 15, 2022. As with previous budget cycles, legislators continue to negotiate outstanding budget details past the June 15 deadline, to be incorporated into budget trailer bills that implement the topline spending programs per agency, or a "budget bill junior," to revise the Budget Act of 2022-23. Throughout the budget process, staff continued work to support the Inland Empire Caucus' budget request for $2.2 billion for transportation projects in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. As the budget process concluded, of the $2.2 billion dollar request, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority did receive $1 million to conduct a State Route 247/62 emergency bypass lane study to consider an alternative route to Interstate 15 in the event of a natural disaster in San Bernardino County. It is unclear if any other projects listed in the Inland Empire Caucus' budget request will be funded via the state budget process. State Transportation Funding The enacted state budget includes significant new resources for transportation programs, particularly those focused on transit and rail capital improvements and active transportation, including: Agenda Item 10 468 • $4.2 billion of remaining Proposition 1A (2008) funding for the California High -Speed Rail project; • $4 billion over the next two years for priority capital transit and rail purposes; • $3.65 billion for transit capital projects to be allocated via the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), a competitive program administered by CaISTA. Of this amount, $1.8 billion is to be dedicated to projects in Southern California, including the counties of Orange, Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura; • $1.2 billion to be administered by CaISTA for port -specific high priority projects that increase goods movement capacity on rail and roadways serving ports and at port terminals. 70 percent of allocated funds are to be used for infrastructure projects at the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, with the remaining 30 percent of funds to be used for other high -priority projects supporting ports and goods movement infrastructure in the rest of the State, including inland ports; • $1 billion for the Active Transportation Program; and • $350 million for high -priority grade crossing improvement and separation projects that maximize safety benefits and reduce or eliminate conflicts between road users and railroads. The budget also provided millions of dollars in funding for zero -emission vehicle deployment and charging and refueling infrastructure; local climate adaptation projects; and the establishment of the Highways to Boulevards Program for planning or implementing the conversion or transformation of underutilized state highways into multimodal corridors that serve residents of underserved communities by developing complete streets, creating open space or parks, supporting affordable housing development, or other community -oriented infrastructure. Continued Legislative Advocacy The Legislature reconvened on August 1 from the July summer recess working quickly to meet the August 31 deadline for each house to pass bills. Staff continue to work with members of Riverside County's State delegation on Assembly Bill 2438 (Friedman). Unfortunately, staff was informed that Assemblymember Friedman would not accept RCTC's proposed amendments to her other bill AB 2344, regarding wildlife connectivity, to ensure consistency with Habitat Conservation Plans and Natural Community Conservation Plans and limit the duplication of analysis and mitigation. As of the writing of this report, AB 2344 has been placed on the Suspense File by the Senate Appropriations Committee and is pending a hearing on August 11. The other highly impactful bills will not receive a final Senate floor vote this session. AB 1778 (Cristina Garcia) did not pass out of Senate Transportation Committee and AB 2237 (Friedman) as not given a hearing at all. Staff will continue to be active throughout the remainder of the legislative session and keep commissioners apprised of opportunities to advocate. Agenda Item 10 469 Federal Update The FY2023 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations bills are moving through the legislative process in Congress. The House passed its version of the THUD legislation on July 20. Included in the legislation is $3 million in funding for the 1-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension, secured by Representative Calvert, and $3 million in funding for the Third Street Grade Separation in Riverside, secured by Representative Takano. The House THUD Appropriations bill is now awaiting action by the Senate. The Senate Appropriations Committee has yet to finalize their FY 2023 Appropriations bill — a bipartisan budget agreement detailing defense and non -defense discretionary spending is necessary before the Senate will proceed. The Senate THUD Appropriations bill unfortunately does not include the $5 million in funding for the Coachella Valley -San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service Project Tier 11 Environmental Review requested by Senator Padilla. Once the House and Senate have a budget agreement, work will continue on the THUD legislation to reconcile any differences between the chambers. With the federal fiscal year ending on September 30, it is unlikely that final legislation will be enacted by that date. Therefore, it is anticipated a Continuing Resolution will fund federal agencies and programs at FY2022 levels until after the November elections. The Senate is also expected to pass the Inflation Reduction Act or reconciliation legislation. There are several climate change related provisions and staff are currently working to assess the impacts of these provisions and any future funding opportunities for RCTC initiatives. FISCAL IMPACT: This is a policy and information item. There is no fiscal impact.
