5. COMMUTER RAIL PROGRAM UPDATE
Sheldon Peterson, Staff Analyst, provided an update to the Committee on
Metrolink ridership and on -time performance, rail car procurement, lease of
rail equipment, holiday train service, and the connecting transfer program
including RTA's CommuterLink service.
In response to Commissioner Jeff Miller's request for additional information
regarding the lease of rail equipment, Sheldon Peterson responded that the
leased cars from Sound Transit will be delivered and put into full service on
October 4. The Sound Transit cars will be kept together as a set and only
run on the San Bernardino line. The additional Metrolink cars will be added
to other Metrolink train routes based on overcrowding train data.
Commissioner Miller requested staff to provide advanced notice to the
Commissioners once Metrolink has determined which routes to place the
additional cars.
At Commissioner Jack Wamsley's request for comparative cost information,
Eric Haley confirmed that staff could provide past annual Metrolink budgets
to show the Commission's subsidy and that strong ridership has reduced
contribution. Sheldon Peterson also noted that additional information such
as farebox recovery information will be included in future staff reports.
Jim Kneepkens, RTA Director of Marketing, presented an update on the
CommuterLink service, highlighting the following areas:
• Four routes providng service to Riverside, San Bernardino, and San
Diego Counties.
• Recent promotions
• Ridership trends
• Metrolink transfers by route

Commissioner John Chlebnik expressed his belief to provide Metrolink
service through the Pass Area into Palm Springs and Indio in the future. He
also suggested a trial program such special trips to annual events, shopping,
or recreation and the possibility of partnering with the shopping and
recreational facilities to subsidize the service.
Commissioner Frank West requested the number of passengers that board
Route 208 in Moreno Valley and Jim Kneepkens responded that he would
accommodate the request.
Commissioner Miller expressed his belief that this type of program (the
CommuterLink service) is a critical element to effectively move people and
commended RTA and the cooperation of other agencies for the success of
the program.
Commissioner Marion Ashley concurred with Commissioner Chlebnik's
comments and stated his belief that the Commission needs to begin planning
for service to the Coachella Valley.
Eric Haley reviewed for the Committee the policy direction adopted by the
Commission and CVAG to focus this effort on Amtrak due to their legal right
to operate. He also indicated that should the Commission determine to
change policy direction to Metrolink, active discussions with Metrolink need
to occur. RCTC us a member agency of the Southern California Regional Rail
Authority, and additional service lines must have the collective approval of
the group. Based on previous discussions on this issue, Metrolink expressed
reluctance to make the expansion.
Commissioner Ronald Oden concurred with the comments of Commissioners
Chlebnik and Ashley.
M/S/C (Ashley/Miller) to:
1) Receive and file the Commuter Rail Program Update as an
information item; and,
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.

Intra-
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the STIP Intra-county Formula adjustment per the STIP lntra-
county Memorandum of Understanding; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In June 1998, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTC), Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG) was developed to establish a formula allocation by which RCTC would
disperse State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Regional Improvement
Program (RIP) funds as authorized by SB 45. It was agreed to disperse 75.8% of
the RIP funds using the current apportionment of Measure "A" funds to these three
subregions.
In addition, the STIP Intra-county MOU requires that in February of every odd year
the percentages shall be adjusted to remain consistent with subsequent
adjustments made to the Measure "A" apportionments.
The current and adjusted percentage splits are as follows:
Subregion
Current % Split
2005 Adjusted Split
Western Riverside County
73.28%
74.45%
Coachella Valley
25.81 %
24.76%
Palo Verde Valley
00.91 %
00.79%
The adjustment is reflective of additional growth in the Western Riverside County
subregion in relation to the total growth countywide.
1
State statute requires the 2006 STIP cycle to commence this summer with the
release of the Draft STIP Fund Estimate by July 15, 2005 followed by the
California Transportation Commission's (CTC) adoption of the Final STIP Fund
Estimate by August 15, 2005. Regional agencies are then required to submit their
program of projects to the CTC by December 15, 2005. Should the 2006 STIP
Fund Estimate identify available Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds for
programming, the above formula will be applied to allocate these funds among the
three subregions in Riverside County.

SUBJECT:
Riverside Transit Agency's Request for Local Transportation Funds
Pending Receipt of FY 2004/05 FTA Section 5307 Funds
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Allocate $5,830,000 in Local Transportation Funds (LTF) to the
Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) pending receipt of FY 2004/05 Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 funds; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
111 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
•
At its July 2004 meeting, the Commission approved a total of $10,948,312 in FTA
Section 5307 funds for RTA through the FY 2004/05 SRTP allocation process. Of
that amount, $6,675,861 was approved for operating and capitalized preventive
maintenance costs. Unfortunately, approval of the FY 2004/05 federal funding
programs has been delayed due to the pending reauthorization of the federal
transportation act.
Due to the non -receipt of the federal operating funds, RTA is projecting an
operating shortfall of $5,830,000 from March 18, 2005 to July 1, 2005. To
maintain current operating levels, RTA has requested an advance of LTF funds.
Staff is in support of this request. Assisting transit operators with cash flow has
been done in the past; in FY 2003/04, LTF funds were advanced to both RTA and
SunLine Transit Agency pending receipt of that year's federal funding.
3
There are adequate LTF funds available to cover this request. If approved, staff
further recommends that upon receipt of the federal funding, LTF payments to RTA
be decreased by the same dollar amount until the $5,830,000 is reimbursed.

SUBJECT:
Measure "A" Specialized Transit - Taxi Demonstration Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve up to $400,000 in Western Riverside County Measure "A"
Specialized Transit funds for continuation of the taxi demonstration
program;
2) Authorize the Chairman, pursuant to Legal Counsel review, to execute
a Memorandum of Understanding, No. M24-010 - Amendment No. 2
with the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) to cover the cost of the taxi
services; and
3) Authorize the Chairman, pursuant to Legal Counsel review, to execute
a Memorandum of Understanding, No. M24-009 - Amendment No. 2
with Diversified Paratransit, Inc., (DPI) for oversight and administration
of the program;
4) Direct staff to work with RTA and DPI to develop a taxi
coordination/transition plan effective FY 2005/06; and
5) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In October 2003, the Commission, working in partnership with RTA, implemented a
western Riverside County taxi demonstration program utilizing Measure "A"
Specialized Transit funds. The demonstration program utilizes taxicabs to transport
senior citizens and/or persons with disabilities who would otherwise be denied
service because of resource and system capacity constraints. The program has
been successful, providing an average of 2,400 trips per month to senior citizens
and persons with disabilities. In addition, since its inception no senior passengers
have been denied transportation and the need to move equipment (from one city to
another) to handle changing passenger demands has been minimal.
5
To date, RTA and the Cities of Corona and Riverside have utilized the taxi
demonstration program. The average cost of a taxi trip is estimated at $19.67; in
comparison, the average cost of the trip if RTA provided the service is estimated at
$33.50. Given escalating operating costs, the lack of meeting the state mandated
farebox regulations in prior years and the continued increased demand for
paratransit services, staff was surprised that the use of taxi services utilizing
Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds was not identified through the FY
2004/05 — 2006/07 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP). Staff identified this as a
concern at the June 2004 Commission meeting and was directed to seek policy
direction at the July 2004 Transit Policy Committee (TPC) meeting. In the interim,
Measure "A" Specialized Transit funding was approved at the July Commission
meeting to continue the demonstration program pending further discussions with
the western Riverside County transit operators.
Cost Analysis:
Based on results of the taxi demonstration program and policy direction, several
meetings were held with staff from the municipal transit operators, RTA, MV
(RTA's contracted service provider), DPI (RCTC's taxi consultant) and RCTC staff
to determine the future direction of the program. Through this process, it was
agreed that distribution of rides to taxi providers should be made as follows:
1) During peak times when there are not enough dial -a -ride vehicles to
accommodate demand and ensure zero denials;
2) During non -peak times when it is more cost effective to use a taxi for
specific trips rather than a traditional dial -a -ride vehicle; and
3) During unexpected circumstances (traffic congestion, accidents,
break -downs, etc.).
Using the above criteria, MV/DPI projects an efficiency savings of approximately
$16,631 per month on the current paratransit contract; this equates to an
estimated cost savings of $133,048 over traditional paratransit services for eight
months of service. More importantly, however, is the fact that senior trips are no
longer being cancelled due to capacity constraints.
Service Improvements/Enhancements:
As part of the cost analysis discussion, staff also identified several areas of
concern that should be considered as part of continuing the program:
1) Improved coordination between reservation staff and taxi providers to
ensure timely pick-up of passengers;
•
6
•
•
•
2) Performance compliance should be improved/implemented including
sensitivity training towards passengers; background checks and
drug/alcohol adherence; as well as the establishment of vehicle
standards and overall passenger safety programs; and
3) Review of billing including fare collection processes.
Program Funding — FY 2004/05:
RTA is requesting additional Measure "A" Specialized Transit funding in the amount
of $317,227 to continue the program through the end of June, 2005. Staff is in
support of this request, however, recommends that funding be increased to an
amount "not to exceed" $350,000 so that the municipal transit operators can
continue to utilize the program.
Additionally, staff recommends that an additional allocation of up to $50,000 be
allocated to Diversified Paratransit, Inc. (DPI) to continue providing program
administration and oversight.
Taxi Coordination/Transition Plan:
As stated previously, staff is in support of RTA's request to continue the program
through the end of FY 2004/05 utilizing Measure "A" Specialized Transit funding.
Given the projected cost savings as well as the trip efficiencies, staff recommends
that RTA and DPI develop a coordination/transition plan to include the use of taxi
services in its FY 2005/06 SRTP within 45 days of Commission approval
(approximately March 25, 2005). If approved, the transition plan should include, at
a minimum, the recommended service improvements/enhancements identified
above.

AGENDA ITEM 8
The attached letter was presented by
Judylynn Gries on behalf of the Riverside Transit Agency.
January 24, 2005
Mr. Frank Hall, Chairman, Plans and Programs Committee
Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC)
Riverside County Administrative Center Annex
4080 Lemon Street, 3rd Floor
Riverside, CA 92501-3679
Dear Chairman Hall:

Phone:(909) 565-5000
Fax: (909) 565-5001
I am writing this letter in regards to a staff report that is part of the Plans and Programs
Committee Agenda scheduled for January 24, 2005. The item is titled "Measure 'A'
Specialized Transit — Taxi Demonstration Program." My concern regarding the staff
report focuses on its accuracy. It was my desire to appear in person, but regrettably,
neither I nor Larry Rubio are able to be present for the meeting due to a conflicting
Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) Budget and Finance Committee meeting.
It is my understanding that both RCTC and RTA staff, along with at least one consultant,
worked together fine-tuning the taxi program. As part of that process, the hourly rates for
the taxi service were reviewed taking into account overhead in order to make an equal
comparison to the Dial -A -Ride (DAR) vans. The average cost per taxi trip cited in the
RCTC staff report appears to be using old information. RTA's most recent fully allocated
average cost per passenger trip for the taxi is $23.63 and the DAR van is $25.12 (these
costs are extrapolated from the RTA's annual ridership report 7/1/2003-6/30/2004,
attached). However, the RCTC staff report cites $19.67 for the taxi and $33.50 for the
DAR van.
A joint recommendation from the RTA's DAR van contractor and RCTC's taxi
consultant determined which hours and which trips were most cost effective using the
taxi and which were most cost effective using the DAR van. The recommendation took
into account various factors including the cost for each service, time of day for each trip,
trip lengths, trip origins and destinations. That analysis yielded a cost savings of
$199,586 per year. A spreadsheet mutually developed by RCTC's consultant and RTA's
contractor that was approved by RCTC and RTA detailing these results is attached.
Additionally, the RCTC staff report cites that RCTC staff were "surprised that the use of
taxi services utilizing Transportation Development Act funds was not identified through
the FY 04/05 — 06/07 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP)." At the time of that SRTP
development, RCTC had not yet determined whether its taxi pilot program would
continue. Therefore, RTA staff requested funding from the source originally provided by
RCTC--Measure A. (This was communicated in e-mail from Larry Rubio to Tanya Love
on May 24, 2004, attached).

The RCTC staff report states that "RTA and Diversified Paratransit (DPI) (RCTC's
consultant) develop a coordination/transition plan to include the use of taxi services in its
FY 2005/06 SRTP within 45 days of Commission approval." On December 16, 2004, the
RTA Board of Directors instructed our staff to include the continuation of the taxi
program in next fiscal year's budget and SRTP. On December 20, 2004, this was
communicated to Tanya Love in a letter from Chris Gallanes, RTA's CFO (attached).
The RTA Board of Directors, aware of the workload and status for this and other projects
at RTA, will set an appropriate timetable for the development and completion of a
transition process for the taxi program.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.

Subject: SRTP Meeting
Tanya,
Thank you for talking with me today. The following are clarifications to issues contained in the SRTP staff report presented
to the RCTC's Plans and Programs Committee meeting today.
The first was the fact that Corona, RSS, and RTA have utilized the taxi program, but none of these operators proposed
continuing the program next year. Eric and I discussed this recently. RTA has a Union issue we're dealing with and we're
trying to ensure that the taxi transition occurs without a 13(c) violation being raised by the ATU for using the taxis.
However, RTA did include in our budget to continue the program at the same level as this year. RTA didn't want to be
presumptuous by planning ahead of the demonstration pilot project that you are running through June. During our
conversation we discussed that I do want to move this forward as soon as practical. Although, this will need RCTC and
RTA Board approval.
The second issue was in regard to the proposed transit centers utilizing TDA and Federal funds rather than TUMF. Eric
and I discussed this on May 17th. Since then, RTA staff requested the RTA Budget and Finance Committee consider
using 100% TUMF to purchase the Corona real property. On May 19th, we obtained the Committee's approval to move the
item to the full Board for their consideration. That would leave a balance just sufficient enough to purchase the Hemet
property RCTC is considering for Metrolink.
The last item is the RCTC's Clean Fuels Policy. Tanya, we have no intention of violating this Policy. It is my understanding
that the Policy requires specific NOx emissions standards from transit buses that meet or exceed 33,000 GVW with a load
capacity of fifteen or more passengers. The Policy encourages public transit operators using smaller buses to use the best
available emissions control technology that meets CARB's emissions standards for urban bus optional, reduced emission
standards as set by CARB for oxides of nitrogen and non -methane hydrocarbons.
The RTA Board of Directors elected to follow the CARB's clean fuel path several years ago. That clean fuel path also deals
with full size transit buses. The RTA is in full compliance with AQMD's regulations regarding alternate fuels; the AQMD
does not require paratransit vehicles (less than 33,000 GVW and capacity of fewer than fifteen) to operate on alternate
fuels. I apologize if the RTA failed to the report the fuel type. We plan to purchase CARB, AQMD, and RCTC compliant
gasoline powered paratransit vehicles. We also hope to modify an existing grant to purchase three 30 -foot CNG powered
buses for CommuterLink. I don't believe this would be contrary to the CARB's, AQMD's or RCTC's Clean Fuels Policies.
Please advise if my assumption is wrong and we'll immediately correct it.
I hope this addresses the concerns. After the Budget and SRTP are approved by the RTA Board, staff will forward the
necessary information to your attention. Please advise if you require additional information.
Larry

RE: Request for Additional Measure "A" Specialized Transit Funding and Extension of
Period of Performance — Taxi Demonstration Program
Dear Tanya:
The total authorized funding for RTA's portion of the Taxi Demonstration Program is $697.826.
Based on fiscal year 2004 year-end actual. a fund balance of $274,378 is available for use in
fiscal year 2005. Staff year-end projections of fiscal year 2005 expenditures total $695,814.
With a fund balance of only $274,378 available. a deficit of $421,436 is projected at year-end.
Staff presented a Taxi Demonstration Program cost status report to the RTA Board of Directors
at its December 16, 2004 meeting. The Board approved an action to request $317,227 of
additional Measure "A" funding to offset the projected fiscal year 2005 year-end deficit. This
funding request considers potential LTF efficiency savings reflected in an analysis performed by
MV Transportation and Diversified Paratransit Inc. The action also encompassed a request to
extend the Taxi Demonstration Program period of performance through June 30. 2005. Both
Board actions are contingent upon approval by the RCTC Board of Commissioners. RTA
requests that these actions be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for consideration.
Analysis of Taxi Demonstration Program funding, fiscal year 2005 forecast, efficiency savings,
and funding request is provided in the attached report. Please note that although the current
request is to extend the period of performance through June 30, 2005, the RTA Board of
Directors intends to include the Taxi Demonstration Program as part of the fiscal year 2006
budget request.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at 951-565-

Taxi Demonstration Program Cost Status and Recommendation of
Funding Alternatives
In October 2003, the Agency, in cooperation with the Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTC), implemented a Taxi
Demonstration Program. This program utilizes taxicabs to transport
senior citizens and/or persons with disabilities that would otherwise
be denied service because of resource and system capacity
constraints. This was done as part of an on -going commitment to
meet the special transit needs of seniors and persons with
disabilities, with the main goals being the elimination of trip denials
from the current Agency Dial -A -Ride (DAR) program and
maintenance of the amount of specialized transportation service
available to seniors and disabled riders. The program has been
successful, providing an average of 2,400 trips per month to senior
citizens and persons with disabilities.
The Taxi Demonstration Program is currently funded with Measure
"A Specialized Transit revenues. A total of $697,826 has been
approved for the program by the RCTC.
The table below reflects the funding available for use in fiscal year
2005, based on fiscal year 2004 actual:
Project Funding (Agency Portion)
Less:
FY2004 Expenses
Protect Funding Available for FY2005
S 697.826
$ (423.448)
S 274.378
Fiscal year 2005 year to date expenses through October 2004 are
$320,438. This results in a current project deficit of $46,060. Staff
developed a fiscal year 2005 year end forecast of expenses based
on an analysis of monthly taxicab service provided by MV
Transportation (current DAR contracted service provider) and
Diversified Paratransit Inc. (DPI), RCTC's taxi program consultant.
The staff forecast reflects year-end expenditures of $695,814 for
84
FY2005 Year End Forecast
the Taxi Demonstration Program. Given that funding of only
$274,378 is available for fiscal year 2005, a deficit of $421,436 is
projected at fiscal year end. Staff asserts that the Agency is left
with the following alternatives:
1. Discontinue the Taxi Demonstration Program after the project
funding is expended and recover all funding deficits from
RCTC.
2. Request additional Measure "A" funds to offset the projected
year end deficit and request the Agency Board of Directors to
extend the Taxi Demonstration Program through June 30, 2005,
subject to approval by the RCTC Board of Commissioners.
The monthly analysis of taxicab service provided by MV
Transportation and the RCTC taxi program consultant included an
estimate of cost efficiencies that could be realized by switching
resources from contracted paratransit service to taxicab service.
These efficiencies, coupled with additional revenues generated
from a proposed fare increase currently being contemplated by the
Agency's Board of Directors could be used to offset some of the
$421,436 deficit. Staff will provide an analysis of these efficiencies
and additional revenues to assist with the Board discussion of the
above options.
YEAR END FORECAST AND ANALYSIS OF EFFICIENCIES AND
ADDITIONAL REVENUES
As stated above, a staff forecast reflects year end expenditures of
S695,814 for the Taxi Demonstration Program. This is derived from
an analysis of fiscal year 2005 cumulative actual through October
2004, plus monthly expenditures forecast per the MV
Transportation/DPI analysis. The table below reflects the monthly
parameters and expenditure forecast:

The MV Transportation/DPI analysis reflects an efficiency savings
of $16,631 per month on the current paratransit contract if specific
85
resources are switched from paratransit service to taxicab service.
Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenues currently allocated for
paratransit service could then be used to offset the Taxi
Demonstration Program deficit. This fiscal year's savings is
calculated below:

In order to derive an estimate of additional farebox revenues that
are associated with the proposed fare increase, staff assumed a
March 1, 2005, implementation of a fare structure adjustment.
CAI ier assumptions included 2,036 trips per month for the (4) month
period of March through June, and a trip elasticity of -1.1 percent,
meaning that ridership will assume a temporary decline of 1.1
percent if fares are adjusted upward. The analysis is summarized

to request additional Measure "A" funds to offset the projected
S421,439 year-end deficit. Additional Committee direction is shown
below:
1. Exclude the forecast of additional farebox revenues.
2. Include a 10 percent contingency in the funding request.
The table below reflects the projected year end deficit with the
Committee directed changes. This deficit reflects the amount of
additional Measure "A" funds that will be requested.

The above schedule is based on a linear year end forecast of fiscal
year 2005 actual through October 2004. The column on the left
reflects receipt of additional Measure "A" funding. The column on
the right reflects receipt of additional LTF.
Line 17 of the schedule shows the Farebox Recovery Ratio
forecast. Assuming that farebox revenues remain constant for the
remainder of fiscal year 2005, receipt of additional Measure "A"
funding will enable the Agency to achieve a favorable ratio variance
of 1.91 percent. Alternatively, if LTF is received, a favorable
variance of 0.63 percent is forecast.
Committee Recommendation:
This item was discussed at the Board Budget and Finance
Committee meeting of December 1, 2004. The Committee
members unanimously approved recommending this item to the full
Board of Directors for their consideration.
Recommendation:
Request $317,227 of additional Measure "A" funding to offset a
projected year end Taxi Demonstration Program deficit and request
the Agency Board of Directors to extend the Taxi Demonstration
Program through June 30, 2005, subject to approval by the RCTC
Board of Commissioners.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Riverside Line
Passenger trips on Metrolink's Riverside Line for the month of December averaged
4,417 which is down 479 (-10%) from the month of November. The line has
averaged an overall increase of 2% from a year ago December 2003. The month
of December always has a seasonal drop in ridership due to the holidays and
vacation time.
December on -time performance averaged 87% inbound (-2% from November) and
87% outbound (+4% from November). There were 34 delays greater than 5
minutes during the month of December, a 1 point decrease from the month of
November. Union Pacific continues to be the primary cause of delays; Metrolink
staff is working directly with the railroad to try to improve performance. The
following were the primary causes:

Inland Empire -Orange County Line
Passenger trips on Metrolink's Inland Empire -Orange County (IEOC) Line for the
month of December averaged 3,160, a decrease of 489 riders or (-13%) from the
month of November. The line has averaged a decrease of -9% from a year ago
December 2003. The month of December always has a seasonal drop in ridership
due to the holidays and vacation time. RCTC Staff is working with Metrolink to
develop a specific marketing plan to attract new riders to the IEOC and 91 Lines
from Riverside. Over the past few months, ridership has dropped and there is
sufficient station and rail car capacity to increase ridership on these lines through a
directed marketing effort.
December on -time performance averaged 93% inbound (+1% from November) and
94% outbound (+3% from November). There were 17 delays greater than five
minutes during the month of December, a decrease of 4 from the previous month.
The primary causes were:
91 Line
Passenger trips on Metrolink's 91 Line for the month of December averaged 1,651,
down 211 riders or a decrease of 11%, from the month of November. The line has
averaged an increase of 1% from a year ago December 2003. The month of
December always has a seasonal drop in ridership due to the holidays and vacation
time.

Metro/ink January Weather Related Service Disruptions
There were significant disruptions due to the storms in early January. From the onset of
the storms, track inspection by Metrolink staff and contractors continued around the
clock. Several localized areas of mud and rock falling near the track occurred on the
Ventura, Antelope Valley, and the San Clemente portion of the Orange Subdivisions.
As a result of these events, there were three train sets trapped in Montalvo, Ventura
County, unable to be moved North or South due to track outages on the Union Pacific.
The Metrolink staff and Bombardier contractor worked diligently to get as much
equipment as is safely possible, available for service. Due to equipment issues and
weather related slow orders there were delays on the Riverside and 91 Lines. The
IEOC was limited to operations north of San Clemente during the slide and cleanup.
Even with the disruptions, system -wide Metrolink ridership is up to record levels
with over 40,000 daily riders on some of the busiest days.
Below is a photo of one of the most severely damaged sections of track on the
Ventura County Line near Moorpark.
Riverside Line Link Event - December 14-16, 2004
Metrolink management walked through peak pm trains on the Riverside Line to ride with
commuters and listen to their feedback about service. Over 1000 comment cards were
collected from riders on trains 404, 406, 408, and 410. Seventy-eight percent of the
input collected was from riders who travel five or more days every week and 392 cards
(or 37%) were from long-time riders who have commuted more than five years. One
hundred and seventy-nine (179) callbacks were made to customers at their request.
The two most requested issues were improved on time performance and more midday
service.

Station Daily Activity Update
Daily activities are recorded by station security guards and submitted to RCTC on a
weekly basis. For the entire year of 2004, there were twenty criminal incidents
down from twenty one the previous year. The criminal incidents are primarily in
two categories Burglary/Theft/Vandalism and Vagrants/Trespassing. Overall there
has been a dramatic decrease in events over the past five years from 139 in 2000
to 20 in 2004. This shows the effective job the security guards are doing to deter
crime at the stations. In addition, there was only one report of a Critical Incident at
the stations this year a trespasser/BNSF train accident near the North Main Corona
station. Please see the charts and graph below to see trends in station activity.
