5. FINANCIAL POLICIES ADMINISTERING TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
ACT FUNDS
Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer, reminded the Committee of
Commission's FY 2001-03 Triennial Performance Audit stating its fiduciary
responsibility to ensure that the transit operators are utilizing Transportation
Development Act (TDA) funds efficiently and effectively. This item is a
review of the Commission's financial practices used as part of its fiduciary
responsibility. Under the TDA, there are two funding sources for public
Transit Policy Committee Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 2
transportation that the Commission administers - Local Transportation Fund
(LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA). For LTF, the County receives
one -quarter cent of the 7.25% State retail sales tax collected and the
Commission prepares the written allocation instructions for disbursement and
funds are disbursed to transit operators based on planned operating levels
and capital projects identified through a Short Range Transit Plan. STA fund
sources are from statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel and funds are
appropriated to the State Controller for allocation, by formula, to each of the
regional transportation planning agencies in the State. The Commission
allocates these funds for Riverside County by formula - 50% on the basis of
the region's population compared to the State's population and 50% in
accordance to prior year proportion of the region's transit operator passenger
fare and local support revenues. There are three steps in order for operators
to obtain TDA funds: 1) apportionment; 2) allocation; and, 3) payment.
There are three apportionment areas in Riverside County: 1) Western
Riverside with six transit operators; 2) Coachella Valley with one transit
operator; and, 3) Palo Verde Valley with one transit operator. Every year,
the Commission determines each of the apportionment area's share of the
projected TDA funds, in addition to any unapportioned carryovers from the
prior year. The determined share is the area's apportionment. Allocation of
funds to operator(s) within each of the apportionment area is determined
based upon their service levels and identified capital projects in the annual
Short Range Transit Plan. Allocated funds are disbursed monthly after a
claim is received from the operator.
An annual audit is conducted of each of the operator. One of the outcomes
of determining any deferred operating and capital revenue. Deferred revenue
represents TDA funds that are received by the operator but not yet spent for
eligible for operating or capital. Deferred operating balance should be applied
against future operating allocations and the deferred capital balance relate to
specific projects, which may be carried over if not completed within that
year. If an operator does not require the entire allocation for its operating
cost, the remaining allocation should be reduced and returned to the area's
apportionment balance. In previous years, unclaimed allocated TDA funds
that are administered by the Commission have been associated with specific
operators and deferred operating revenues that have been received by the
operators have not been consistently applied against the subsequent year's
funding allocation. In order for the Commission to carry out its fiduciary
responsibility that TDA funds are used efficiently and effectively,
•

the Commission will work with the operators to draw down the accumulated
and unclaimed allocations as of June 30, 2004 and to apply deferred
operating revenues against future allocations.
Theresia Trevino continued and stated that TDA funds represent
approximately 55% of the transit operators' operating and capital budgets.
As defined by TDA, the operators must meet fare box recovery ratio
requirements. Last year, LTF revenues were approximately $58.4 million,
and STA revenues were $2.9 million. While revenues have increased, there
was significant increase in operating cost. Thus, some operators are having
difficulty meeting fare box requirements. For 2005, transit operators
requested about 4% TDA funding over the projected funds available. Due to
prior year carryover, the Commission was able to fund the extra 4%. At
year end, there typically have been excess LTF funds available for various
purposes, as well as STA. She then reviewed the summary report of the
reserve fund balances by apportionment area.
M/S/C (Mil/er/Kelly) to receive and file the presentation on
Transportation Development Act funding.
6. RESERVE POLICY FOR LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS
Theresia Trevino stated that operator costs are outpacing the LTF revenues
and had to use prior year carryovers to fund excess costs of the project
revenue. Because of increase in operating cost over available revenues, staff
recommends a change in the reserve policy. This is to assist in managing
the periods when higher than anticipated costs as well as periods of lower
than expected revenues. It is recommended that effective the FY 2005-06
Short Range Transit Plan process, the Commission establish a 10% county-
wide reserve for operations and/or capital for each of the three
apportionment areas (Western Riverside, Coachella Valley, Palo Verde
Valley). The proposed reserve policy would provide unallocated reserve of
$5,031,161 and the amount available for apportionment would be
$45,280,451. Operators may request additional funding through the SRTP
amendment process and would be considered based on its own merit. Any
set asides of reserves would need to be adequately supported as to purpose
and need prior to approval by the Commission. Staff will work with the
operators to ensure that existing unclaimed allocations are used prior to
unallocated reserves. Currently, 10% of the annual allocations for operators
are not disbursed until June, after the Commission has determined that
sufficient revenues have been received, and the remaining 90% over the
next 10 months. Under the proposed reserve policy, if approved, this
approach is no longer necessary as the 10% reserve can cover costs if
Transit Policy Committee Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 4
revenue comes in lower than projected. Thus, staff recommends that 100%
of the annual allocation be disbursed with two -twelfths in the first month
and the remainder of the 100% over the next 11 months.
Commissioner Dick Kelly stated that he would like the opportunity to discuss
the proposal with the SunLine General Manager. SunLine has operated on
the same budget over the past three years, even with increasing sales tax
revenues collected in the area.
Jon Winningham, Riverside Transit Agency Chair, reviewed the expenditures
of the transit agency over the past years. He stated that RTA and SunLine
should have available reserve funding. The current reserve policy has been
working and do not see a need to change it.
Cathy Bechtel, Director of Transportation Planning and Policy Development,
stated that staff agrees that reserves should be in place. There is a reserve
policy in place. To date, RTA was the only transit agency that has requested
for allocation from the reserve funds. With regards to the transit agency
holding the reserve funds, the Commission is not able to allocate reserves to
transit agencies because of TDA regulations. She noted that staff's
proposed amendment to the reserve policy would actually raise the reserves
to 10% for each of the apportionment area in Riverside County.
Commissioner Terry Henderson asked if staff has had meetings with the
transit operators regarding the current and proposed reserve policy.
Tanya Love, Program Manager, responded that there have not been any
official meetings where the reserve policy was discussed. Two meetings are
held annually with transit operators to discuss available funding, carryover
funds, allocation, etc.
Commissioner Kelly reiterated a need to discuss this matter with the SunLine
General Manager and, therefore, requested that the item be continued.
Jon Winningham suggested that the General Managers and the Chair of the
transit agencies meet with staff to discuss a reserve policy that would make
sense, and bring a report back to the Committee.
Commissioner Jeff Miller said that if the change in the policy would shut
down the operators, then it would not be the direction that he would go
forth. He added that it is important to know how the proposed policy will
impact the operators on their day to day operations.

Tanya Love explained that this has nothing to do with any funds currently on
reserve such as the $4 million BRT funds for demonstration program, $2.2
million for land acquisition, and the one -twelfth ($2 million) on reserve.
These funds are protected and would not go away. For 2004-05, more
revenues are being utilized than what is anticipated. The consequence is
that service may be reduced in the future and she noted the importance of
amending the reserve policy in order to avoid such actions in future years.
She reiterated that this does not apply to any funds that RTA currently has
identified.
Commissioner Roger Berg noted the demographic changes occurring at the
various areas that the operators serve and may not have sufficient funding to
provide services.
Commissioner Henderson reminded the Committee members that this matter
is before the Committee as a result of the audits. It is a point of public
policy to have a reserve in place. She asked if the reserve policy should be
consistent throughout the operators or should it be inconsistent for city -run
public transit services.
Cathy Bechtel stated that the policy being recommended by staff is to have
a consistent policy by apportionment area as funds are held by the
Commission by apportionment area. However, it is up to the Commission to
make the final determination.
Commissioner Henderson asked that with the Commission holding the
reserve funds if the transit operators still have the ability to go through the
process and to access the reserve funds.
Cathy Bechtel responded that operators may access the reserve funds which
RTA and SunLine have done in the past.
Commissioner Kelly stated that he is not in favor of putting a high
percentage of funds in reserve, and reducing funds to provide service.
Commissioner Hall said that he would like staff to meet with each of the
operators and return to the Committee with a report which includes issues
agreed/disagreed upon, and any additional information regarding the proposal
to assist the Committee in making a determination regarding the reserve
policy.

At Commissioner Miller's request, Tanya Love reviewed the process in
determining the apportionment for each of the area — rail and transit, as well
a determined the amount of reserves, as shown in the attachment to the
staff memorandum. The staff proposal would be to set aside 10% from
each of the apportionment area which would change the apportionment as
follows:
Western Riverside County, from $39,003.324 to $35,102,991
Coachella Valley, from $10,480,606 to $9,432,546
Palo Verde Valley, from $827,683 to $744,914
Tanya Love continued and stated that the apportionments are currently not
being spent in Western Riverside County. As Mr. Jon Winningham has
indicated, approximately 79% or $2.9 million was carried over but the
amount was actually more than 79% this year. She noted that there was a
need to use reserves in the past year to front RTA them with the 5307
funds. Without the reserves, funds could have been taken out of the
unallocated balance ($3.9 million) but not up to $5.3 million. She stated
that if operating costs continue to escalate beyond the projected revenues,
there may be a problem in the future. In accordance to Commission policy,
staff has been directing the transit operators to utilized federal funds first
because it has a time line for using the funds. It is important to note that
RCTC will not be taking away the reserves that were allocated to RTA.
Larry Rubio stated that RTA drew $4.3 million from the reserves. If the
proposed policy was in effect and they have no reserves, the $3.042,000
allocated to Western County area was not sufficient to cover until the end of
the year. He said that he asked RCTC staff if there were funds to cover the
shortfall, the response was no.
M/S/C (Miller/Kelly) to:
1) Continue this item on the proposed reserve policy;
2) Direct RCTC staff to meet operator staff to discuss the
proposed reserve policy; and,
3) Bring back a report to the Transit Policy Committee on the
status of the meetings as well as recommendation.
Note: It was further determined that RCTC staff members meet staff
of the transit operators. Transit operator Board members may submit
their comments/input to the Transit Policy Committee at the meeting.

7. STATUS REPORT ON TRANSIT POLICY ISSUES
Tanya Love reviewed the policy issues that were identified at the May 2004
Commission workshop regarding: 1) State Mandated Fare box Recovery
Ratio - this was developed and approved on October 13, 2004; 2) Route
Productivity - staff continues to meet with transit operators; 3) Reserve
Policy - discussed in a previous item with staff to meet with transit
operators and bring back a report to the Committee; 4) Accrual of Interest on
Allocated, Unclaimed Funds - discussed in a previous item which was
received and filed by the Committee; 5) Accrual of Interest on Allocated,
Unclaimed Funds - this is no longer a problem as funds allocated will be
claimed in a timely manner and the interest accrued will either go to the
transit operator's operating funds or to the apportionment area; 6) Timeliness
of Spending Allocated Capital Funds - the timeline for completion of
outstanding capital projects for FYs 96-97 through 02-03 was approved by
RCTC on October 13. From FY 04 forward basis, staff will bring back a
proposed policy based on the AB 1012 "Use It or Lose It" provisions as
capital projects should be shop ready; and, 7) Allocation of 2009
Measure "A" Funds -Western Riverside - the Committee may want to
consider developing a funding formula as part of the TDA discussion for
Western Riverside County.
M/S/C (Henderson/Hall) to receive and file the status report on policy
issues identified at the May 2004 Commission Workshop.

SUBJECT:
Reserve Policy for Local Transportation Funds
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Establish a transit operators' reserve policy of 10% for Coachella
Valley and Palo Verde Valley apportionment areas;
2) Establish a transit operators' reserve policy of 10% for each of the
transit operators (public bus and commuter rail) in the western
Riverside County apportionment area;
3) Revise the Funding Disbursement Policy so that 100% of the
operating funds are allocated and disbursed with two -twelfths of the
100% disbursed the first month and the remainder (ten -twelfths)
disbursed over the next eleven months; and,
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the October 18, 2004 Transit Policy Committee (TPC) meeting, staff
recommended that a 10% reserve policy be established for each of the three
apportionment areas. A reserve policy was recommended due to operating costs
outpacing current year revenue. Much discussion followed regarding cash flow
issues due to non -receipt of federal funding. It became apparent that additional
discussion needed to take place and as a result, the TPC directed Commission staff
to convene a staff to staff level meeting to further discuss the issue of operating
reserves.
In follow-up, a conference call and two meetings were held. Agreement on the
proposed policy was quickly reached with staff from SunLine, the City of Blythe
and the Commuter Rail Program. The development of a reserve policy in western
Riverside County was not as easy due to the number of operators in the area.
Agenda Item 7 2
As a result, a subsequent meeting was held to further discuss cash flow issues.
At the second meeting, consensus was reached among the municipal operators as
follows:
a. Ten (10%) reserve should be established for unforeseen cost
increases;
b. Reserves should be restricted to maintaining current service levels in
the event of a revenue shortfall or unforeseen emergency;
c. Reserves should not be for service enhancements; and,
d. Each operator should have its' own reserve fund.
The Riverside Transit Agency proposed that the reserve policy be established
between 11% and 17%. Recommendations were also made that reserves be
available for infrastructure and service improvements as well as for capital
purchases and included "triggers" for drawdown of reserves.
Subsequent to the Transit Policy Committee, a letter was received from Jon
Winningham, Chairman of RTA's Board, which concluded that RCTC "needs to
determine the appropriate reserve level, with documented processes to access the
reserve, for all transit operators".
Process to Calculate 10% Reserve
The amount of the required reserve for the fiscal year would be calculated as 10%
of the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) apportionment balance after deductions for
administration, planning, and SB 821 program funding. The unallocated reserve
balance of 10% would be set aside before allocation to the three apportionment
areas based on population. Attachment A is an illustration of the calculation using
FY 2004-05 amounts.
Elimination of 10% Withhold from Annual Allocation
In order to implement the revised reserve policy, staff recommends that the
Commission also revise the Funding Disbursement Policy adopted on February 13,
2002. Currently, 10% of the annual allocation for each operator is not disbursed
until June after the Commission has determined that sufficient revenues have been
received. Under the new reserve policy, this approach is no longer necessary as
the 10% reserve can cover costs if revenue comes in lower than projected.
Accordingly, staff recommends that 100% of the annual allocation be disbursed
with two -twelfths in the first month and the remainder of the 100% over the next
eleven months.
Agenda Item 7 3
•
•
•
•
Process to Access Reserve Funds
Western Riverside County transit operators requested that RCTC implement some
type of automatic trigger mechanism to allow them to tap into reserve funds. Staff
recommends that operators access reserve funds by amending their SRTP through
the established amendment process. Each request would be considered based on
its own merit, and as a result, provide flexibility to the operators. All requests will
be presented to the Commission for review.

Dear Tanya: RIVERSIDE COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
RTA has been pleased to participate in the development of a reserve policy for the
apportionment area of Western Riverside County. Representatives from both the RTA Board of
Directors and staff participated in all policy development meetings and workshops. They were
very productive and allowed for discussion and input of ideas and concepts from all
stakeholders.
Based on those meetings, RTA feels confident that the Riverside County Transportation
Conunission (RCTC) will develop a reserve policy that considers all the suggestions and
concepts discussed to ensure continued transit operations in the event of a revenue disruption or
capital acquisitions.
Although I would have preferred to discuss this with the RTA Board of Directors' Budget and
Finance Committee, I do understand RCTC's urgency to secure this policy.
I thank you for the opportunity to participate in the discussion and trust RCTC staff will
determine an appropriate reserve level, with documented processes to access the reserve, for all
transit operators. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Larry Rubio at 951-565-
5022 or by e-mail lrubio(a�riversidetransit.com.
