5. METROLINK RIVERSIDE LINE ON -TIME PERFORMANCE
Tracy Daly, Assistant Executive Officer of SCRRA, briefed the Committee on
the Metrolink Riverside Line On -Time Performance highlighting the Union
Pacific Railroad (UPRR) delay characteristics such as maintenance,
dispatching, and scheduling practices and an ideal line vs. the Riverside line.
She also reviewed the short-term actions being taken by SCRRA including
notifications of dissatisfaction to UPRR, monitoring and detailed recording of
post -construction performance as of January 31, and price reduction of
monthly passes. She also reviewed the arbitration process and long-term
strategies, requesting the Commissions continued advocacy at the local,
state and federal levels.
John Kerins, Director of Operations of SCRRA, reviewed the delay statistics
of the Riverside line, contributing one-third of the delays to engineering and
two-thirds of the delays to dispatching and scheduling. The average delays
over the last few months range from 22 to 77 minutes.
Stephanie Wiggins indicated that SCAG is currently conducting an advanced
plans study, the Los Angeles to the Inland Empire Main Line Corridor study,
identifying and evaluating track capacity improvements that should conclude
within a few months. The results of the study will be forwarded to the Plans
and Programs Committee.
Commissioner Tom Mullen requested the on -time performance for San
Bernardino and Orange Counties and clarification of the arbitration process.
John Kerins responded that San Bernardino County runs at the high 90%
level and Orange County runs at the mid 90% level. He also indicated that
UPRR has 30 days to cure after the notice to cure has been sent. If their
cure is unsatisfactory, the arbitration process can begin.
Commissioner Mullen asked when SCRRA will brief the congressional
delegation and request their support. Tracy Daly responded that SCRRA is
prepared to do so immediately if necessary. Commissioner Mullen urged
SCRRA to brief the delegation immediately to prepare them for the potential
arbitration.
Steve DeBaun, Legal Counsel, noted that RCTC is a third -party beneficiary to
the agreement, therefore, RCTC has the right to be kept apprised of an
action related to the agreement. RCTC has the right to be kept engaged of
the events and to evaluate them. If RCTC is dissatisfied with SCRRA's
direction, options can be evaluated to take action independent of SCRRA to
enforce RCTC's rights under the agreement.

Commissioner Mullen expressed his dissatisfaction with UPRR's horn blowing
practices and noted that it is just additional evidence of their lack of
consideration for the public.
Commissioner Robin Lowe asked where the communication breakdown
occurs between the executive and local levels at UPRR. John Kerins
responded that the UPRR executives have publicly stated that entering into
this agreement was a mistake. He contrasted this with BNSF's commitment
to working cooperatively with SCRRA that has helped them obtain funding
for capital improvements on their line.
Eric Haley, Executive Director, expressed that there are three political efforts
that can be made on this matter, as follows: 1) seek assistance from
Congressmen Oberstar and Young to obtain a congressional hearing, 2) put
together a group to travel to UPRR headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska to
enforce our commitment to engage in high -profile challenges and 3)
encourage the state to maintain its policy of rewarding good corporate
behavior as they have in the past with regard to STIP funding.
Commissioner Will Kleindienst asked whether it would be viable to review
the merger between UPRR and Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) at the
federal level to see if conditions assisted in obtaining freight movement and
if not, could RCTC ask for assistance from the congressional delegation to
review and implement the dual -tracking requirements to Los Angeles. John
Kerins responded that the merger is closed and the Surface Transportation
Board (STB) has indicated that all remedies provided for in the agreement
need to be exhausted before they will review the issue.
Commissioner Lowe recommended sending a letter to SCRRA Executive
Board to firmly support the recommended actions by SCRRA staff and will
do whatever is necessary to resolve this issue.
Commissioner Mullen stated his belief that UPRR is an irresponsible
organization and concurs with Commissioner Lowe recommendation and
would like UPRR's unsatisfactory horn -blowing practices included in the
letter.
M/S/C (Lowe/Byrd) to:
1) Receive and file the status report provided by Southern
California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) staff on the Riverside
Line On -Time Performance;

Operating Agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad Company;
and,
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
6. TRANSIT OASIS STRATEGY
Steve Smith, TransCore, presented the transit oasis strategy, highlighting
that it is a regional system of express transit roots linking selected centers of
activity in Western Riverside County that will be constructed incrementally
as needed.
Commissioner Mullen compared the transit oasis plan in conjunction with
RTA's plan for bus rapid transit to an above ground subway that will be
critical to move the County's future population.
M/S/C (Mullen/Hall) to:
1) Receive and file the Draft Transit Oasis Strategy; and,

AGENDA ITEM 5
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION
DATE:
March 25, 2002
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Cathy Bechtel, Director of Planning and Programming
THROUGH:
Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Allocation of State Transportation Improvement Program
Planning, Programming, and Monitoring Funds for CETAP
2%
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Allocate $721,809 in 2002 STIP 2% Planning, Programming and
Monitoring (PPM) from the Western County formula pot for the
Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process
(CETAP) planning effort; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) is
the largest transportation planning effort undertaken by the Commission. The
current budget for CETAP is $12.3 million to conduct the requisite planning on four
priority corridors: Hemet to Corona/Lake Elsinore, Winchester to Temecula,
Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County, and Riverside County to Orange County.
The current total of committed funds for this project is $7.8M. The table below
outlines the various sources of revenue:
RCTC STIP 2% PPM
$2,500,000
SCAG Federal Overall Work Program
$ 1,781,827
TCSP Federal Discretionary Program
$ 1,370,000
State Planning Funds
S 882,000
Western Riverside County Cities
$ 800,150
San Bernardino County and Cities
$ 250,000
SANBAG
$ 250,000
TOTAL FUNDS COMMITTED
57,833,977
While we have been successful in securing the needed funds to -continue this
important work effort to date, we are continually seeking revenues in order to
complete the project. For fiscal year 02/03, we have anticipated expenditures of
approximately $2.5M. We have made initial contact with SANBAG to request
additional funding support for work required on the Moreno Valley to San
000no�
Bernardino County corridor. Additionally we have requested continued SCAG
Overall Work Program funding and anticipate requesting further support from the
local western Riverside County cities.
As you will recall, the Commission's intra-county STIP formula also applies to the
2% planning funds. The total amount set aside under the 2002 STIP western
county formula pot for planning totaled $1,421,809. At the Commission's March
meeting, $700,000 was allocated for additional work on the SR79 Realignment
Study, leaving a balance of $721,809. Staff is recommending that the balance of
the formula planning pot be allocated toward CETAP, bringing the Commission's
direct support for this project up to a total of $3.22M. Funds for planning projects
are also available from the STIP discretionary pot, which totals $900,262. In the
next month or so, staff will be assessing our planning needs and will propose
projects for funding from the discretionary planning pot; additional funds for CETAP
may be included on the list of proposed projects.

SUBJECT:
STIP Intra-county Formula Adjustment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Postpone this year's adjustment to February 2003 to coincide with the
development of the 2004 STIP;
2) Amend the STIP Intra-county Formula MOU to adjust the percentages for
the allocation of STIP funds to February of every odd year to coincide
with the development of future STIPs; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Per the STIP Intra-county Formula MOU, every two years, beginning February 2000,
the percentages for the allocation of STIP funds shall be adjusted to remain consistent
with the apportionment of Measure A funds.
There is an inherent problem with the adjustment schedule because the STIP is required
to be submitted to the CTC by December 15`h of every odd year. Making the
adjustment in February of every even year requires us to adjust the funding after the
STIP has been submitted to the CTC resulting in project funds being increased or
decreased, or balances being increased or decreased. In the case where project funding
would change, an amendment to the STIP may be required.
Based on the current apportionment of Measure A funds, the adjustment would be as
follows:
Subregion
Current
Feb. 2002
Western Riverside County
72.08%
72.15%
Coachella Valley
26.91%
26.93%
Palo Verde Valley
1.01%
.92%
000003
Staff is recommending postponing this year's adjustment to February 2003 to coincide
with the development of the 2004 STIP, maintaining current project programming, and
avoiding impacts to project costs included in the 2002 STIP submittal. Staff is also
recommending that the STIP Intra-county Formula MOU be amended to reflect the date
of the adjustment to occur in February of every odd year.

SUBJECT:
Status of the 2002 State Transportation Improvement Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Receive and file this 2002 State Transportation Improvement Program
update; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2002 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) was submitted to the
California Transportation Commission (CTC) and Caltrans on December 14, 2002. The
submittal included STIP Intra-county Formula projects from the Palo Verde Valley and
Coachella Valley, and Discretionary projects approved at the November 2001
Commission meeting and previously approved discretionary and formula projects.
Project sponsors provided us the requisite information for including projects in the STIP
including proposed project schedules.
In the CTC's Annual Report — Issues for 2002 adopted on December 13, 2001, it was
reported that of the total capacity for adding new projects to the STIP, over two-thirds
of the new capacity was available in the last two years, FY 2005/06 and FY 2006/07.
By statute, the amount the CTC programs in each fiscal year may not exceed the
amount identified in the Fund Estimate. Project nominations for the 2002 STIP had
over 60% of new funding proposed in the first two years.
The CTC held a workshop on February 7, 2002 explaining the reasons why most of
the available capacity was in the out years. Pre - SB 45, funding capacity was
typically available only in the out years. Due to a high state cash flow in the first few
years of the past two STIPs, capacity was available throughout the entire STIP period.
The CTC requested counties to revise their project nominations moving back as many
projects to the out years of the STIP in order to balance programming with expected
annual revenue. The revised STIPs had to be submitted to the CTC on February 25,
2002. Riverside County project sponsors were contacted by RCTC staff between
February 7th and 25th. The majority of the project sponsors decided to delay their
respective projects by one year in order to cooperate and assist with the lack of
000005
programming capacity in the first three years of the STIP. The attached spreadsheet
identifies the recommended programming submitted on February 25, 2002.
On March 13, 2002, the CTC released their staff recommendations. The CTC staff
recommendation approved our RTIP as submitted on February 25, 2002 with a few
additional changes. Three projects we had not recommended to be delayed were
moved out one year. An error was also made identifying four of our projects as not
being included in the staff recommendations for approval into the STIP. We
immediately notified CTC staff of this error and were told that this was a
misunderstanding on their behalf and that a correction will be made to include these
four projects in the STIP.

SUBJECT:
State Route 91 Commuter Survey — Contract Amendment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Amend Agreement No. 1-0001 between OCTA, RCTC, and SCAG to
add $15,000, with RCTC paying $7,500 and OCTA paying $7,500 to
cover an additional videotaping site and associated costs; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Under single signature authority, the Executive Director has authorized the approval
to enter into an agreement with the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to
conduct a Commuter Survey along SR 91 at or near the Riverside/Orange County
line. OCTA and RCTC have agreed to participate in the cost of the survey at
$50,000 each with SCAG responsible for procuring the consultant to conduct the
survey.
The purpose of the survey is to determine commuter travel patterns to assist in
planning transportation improvements strategies to better manage travel within the
corridor. The data will also be used to assist SCAG in updating Regional
Transportation Plan model. The Technical Review Committee consists of staff
from the above agencies including County of Riverside, Caltrans, City of Corona,
Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) and the California Highway
Patrol (CHP).
The proposed methodology is to perform a video license plate survey, late March or
early April, to capture eastbound and westbound vehicles between the hours of
4:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. The license plates will be read from the videotapes and
the corresponding addresses will be obtained from the State of California's
Department of Motor Vehicles database. Survey forms will be sent to all travelers
(excluding heavy- duty trucks) requesting trip origin/destination, travel
characteristics and demographic data.
00 00
The original site selected to perform the videotaping was at the Green River
interchange because of the ability to capture the greatest amount of vehicles
headed to and from Orange County. In order to set up the video cameras,
generator, and associated equipment, a lane closure on the bridge would have been
required due to the lack of shoulders and sidewalk on the bridge. A lane closure
would severely impact commuters since the length of cueing is typically two miles
at the Green River westbound on -ramp. Therefore, the Technical Review
Committee concluded that this location would not be feasible.
After reviewing several alternatives, it was decided to videotape at two locations
instead of one, the Maple interchange and the Green River on and off -ramps (not
the bridge). This will enable us to capture the greatest amount of trips with
minimal impact to the commuters. The cost for the additional site is $15,000.
OCTA has committed to pay $7,500.00 of the additional cost. The staff
recommendation is to amend the contract increasing it by $7,500.00 for a total of
$57,500.00 in order to minimize impacts to commuters.
This project is not included in the FY 2001/02 budget, however, there are
sufficient planning funds available to cover the cost of this project.

Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Selection of Tropical Plaza Nursery, Inc. to Provide Landscape
Maintenance Services at the Four Metrolink Stations and One Office
Building Owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission
SELECTION/EVALUATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
This item is to seek Committee approval of:
1) The Evaluation Committee's selection of Tropical Plaza Nursery, Inc. to
provide landscape maintenance services for the Commission owned
properties; and
2) The landscape services contract agreement with Tropical Plaza Nursery,
Inc., subject to legal counsel review; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In November the Commission directed staff to prepare and advertise a Request for
Proposal (RFP) to provide landscape maintenance services for properties owned by
RCTC. The proposals have been received and reviewed. A selection panel was
assembled which consisted of Commissioner Daryl Busch, Stuart Chuck of Metrolink,
Tim Brown from the City of Corona, and RCTC staff members Karen Leland and
Claudia Chase.
On February 25, 2002, the selection/evaluation committee interviewed and ranked the
short listed firms. The selection was based on experience, knowledge of the work to
be performed, response time to emergency situations and overall qualifications.
Based on the results of the interviews, Tropical Plaza Nursery, Inc. is the top ranked
firm for the Landscape services RFP process. Negotiations with the selected
contractor result in a monthly cost of $5,450.00 with an annualized cost of
$65,400.00 per year to perform the maintenance services.
The selection panel and staff recommend that a contract be awarded to Tropical Plaza
Nursery, Inc. The standard RCTC contract will be used. The term of the contract is
for three years with two additional one-year options. The contract is subject to Legal
Counsel review.

SUBJECT:
Lease Agreement with Amtrak to Serve the Riverside -Downtown
Station
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval:
1) Of a lease agreement with Amtrak to serve the Riverside -Downtown
Station, subject to legal counsel approval; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Riverside County has received numerous requests for Amtrak service. It has been,
and continues to be, an important objective, and a benefit to our Riverside County
residents. Today, limited service is available in the Coachella Valley at the Palm
Springs and Indio Stations, and the Riverside -Downtown Station serves as an
Amtrak connecting bus stop to the San Joaquin train service. However, the
Commission has continued to lobby for expanded service in the Coachella Valley
and secure direct Amtrak train service at the Riverside -Downtown Station.
Riverside -Downtown Station
Years prior to the advent of Metrolink, the City of Riverside lobbied intensively for
long distance Amtrak service. The City failed in its efforts because of the
inadequacy of the tracks in the downtown area. When RCTC reached agreement
with the Santa Fe in 1992, one of the items very high on our list was the effort to
facilitate Amtrak long distance service to the residents. In fact, it continues to be a
Department Goal specified in the Commission's Adopted Budget.
Santa Fe agreed that upon completion of certain track improvements and the
pedestrian overcrossing, all Amtrak trains may stop to pick up and set off
passengers at the Riverside -Downtown Station. The track improvements and
pedestrian overcrossing are completed.
Southwest Chief
RCTC has invested over $34 million in the Riverside -Downtown Station in the
hopes that it would serve as a major transportation hub serving both Metrolink and
000010
Amtrak trains. The Southwest Chief serves eight states from Illinois to California.
Since the Southwest Chief already runs through the Station, it is a logical addition
as the next step to expanding Amtrak service to Riverside County.
In October 2000, the Executive Director wrote a letter formally inviting Amtrak to
add the Riverside -Downtown Station to the list of daily station stops on the route
of the Southwest Chief. Amtrak has informed us that they have received the
necessary approvals from BNSF to serve the Riverside -Downtown Station. Upon
recommendation by the Plans and Programs Committee and subsequent approval
by the Commission, the Southwest Chief could begin serving Riverside as soon as
April 29`h. RCTC and Amtrak will participate in joint marketing activities to increase
public awareness and highlight some of our landmarks, such as the Mission Inn.
In accordance with our current lease agreement for the Amtrak Bus stop, the
amount of this lease would be $1 per year.

Cathy Bechtel, Director of Planning and Programming
SUBJECT:
FY 02/03 Section 5310 Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Adopt the FY 2002-03 FTA Section 5310 Riverside County
project rankings as recommended by the Local Review
Committee;
2) Include the projects in the Regional Transportation Improvement
Plan;
3) Certify by Resolution No. 02-014 that the projects are
consistent with the local area regional transportation plan; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The FTA Section 5310 program provides capital grants for the purpose of
assisting private nonprofit corporations and public agencies, under certain
circumstances, in providing transportation services to meet the needs of
seniors and persons with disabilities for whom public transportation services
are otherwise unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate. The program
provides funding for approved projects on an 80% federal/20% local match
basis.
Section 5310 funds are awarded through a statewide competition with
approximately $9.0 million available for programming during the FY 02/03
grant cycle.. A Local Review Committee (LRC) in each County quantitatively
evaluates all applications submitted for their area, ranks them, then submits
the scores to Caltrans Headquarters for the statewide competition. The
Commission has utilized a sub -committee of our Citizens Advisory
Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council as the Local
Review Committee for Riverside County. For FY02/03 the LRC was
000012
comprised of Grant Bradshaw, Riverside Transit Agency, Fortunato Penilla,
Inland Regional Center, and myself.
We received requests for 26 projects for evaluation from 7 agencies in
Riverside County. The LRC met and scored the projects on March 18. The
listing of the final scores for each project are attached as Exhibit A. All
applicants have been notified of the project scores and given the opportunity
to appeal. The time line for this process is tight since Commission approved
scores must be submitted to Caltrans by May 3. Since the Commission's
May meeting is after that date, all approvals must be completed at our April
10 meeting.
The Commission is also required to include the awarded projects in the
Regional Transportation Improvement Plan and certify by resolution that the
projects are consistent with the local area regional transportation plan.

Request to Amend City of Banning's FY 01/02 Short Range Transit
Plan for Purchase of Capital Equipment — Ford Ranger Pickup
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is to seek Committee approval to:
1) Amend the City of Banning's FY 01/02 Short Range Transit Plan
authorizing the purchase of a Ford Ranger pickup;
2) Authorize the expenditure of $8,371 in Local Transportation Funds
and $6,629 in State Transit Assistance funds previously allocated to
cover the cost; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Banning (Banning) previously received funds to rehabilitate a dial -a -ride
vehicle. All but $8,371 of the funds was spent on the rehabilitation. Since that
time, Banning has carried the balance on its annual transit audit as "funds owed to
other governmental agency." Banning is requesting authorization to amend its
Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and spend the funds to purchase a transit relief
vehicle to assist with driver shift changes. If approved, Banning will purchase a
Ford Ranger truck for the total cost of $15,000. The balance of $6,629 ($15,000
less $8,371) will be paid for out of State Transit Assistance Funds previously
allocated to Banning.
Banning's City Council is aware of staff's request and approved it at their February
26, 2002 Council Meeting.
