7. CETAP UPDATE
Rob McCann, President of LSA, presented a summary of the comments
received on the CETAP Draft EIS/EIRs.
Cathy Bechtel, Director of Transportation Planning and Policy Development,
noted over 2000 comments were received and LSA is in the process of
summarizing these comments and will be available in the final environmental
documents. She also indicated that there have been numerous discussions
with the Federal Agencies regarding their concerns with the environmental
documents. Staff has received a proposal from the Federal Agencies,
indicating that while they acknowledge the deadline to complete the CETAP
Internal Corridors and RCIP work and recognize the lack of funding to do
additional work, they need additional information and time. Therefore, the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has agreed to secure an additional
$500,000, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has agreed to
secure an additional $300,000, and estimated that a record of decision could
be obtained by February 2004.
Commissioner Bob Buster welcomed the Federal Agencies funding
commitments and concurred that additional work needs to be performed in
evaluating the east -west corridor, including additional public hearings.
Commissioner Marion Ashley concurred with Commissioner Buster's
comments.
Eric Haley, Executive Director, reminded the Commission that the total cost
to complete the additional work would require an additional commitment of
$500,000 to $1 Million from the Commission and/or the County of
Riverside. He also noted the Federal Agencies willingness to sign MOU's
with specific timelines and guarantees of delivery. There has also been a
clear commitment from the Caltrans to get down to one consensus approved
corridor in each area.
Commissioner Robin Lowe agreed that the selected corridors require
extensive study. She noted that the comments received from the public
offered solutions and the suggestions for alternatives should be reviewed.
She also stated her belief that the CETAP Advisory Committee's next
meeting will result in a recommendation to the Commission for each corridor.

8. FISCAL YEAR 2002 TRANSIT OPERATORS' REPORT
Tanya Love reviewed the Fiscal Year 2002 Transit Operators' Report, noting
overall fixed route and paratransit ridership has increased.
Commissioner Percy Byrd expressed his concern regarding blanks in the data.
Tanya Love responded that information was not available for the Commuter
Rail Line at the time the agenda was published and anticipates receipt for the
Commission meeting. •
Cathy Bechtel noted that the operators are not required to provide all of the
data elements and performance statistics listed.
M/S/C (Schook/van Haaster) to:
1. Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2002 Transit Operators' Report;
and,
2. Forward to the Commission for final action.
9. SECTION 5311 AND STATE TRANSIT ASSISTANCE FUNDS
Tanya Love reviewed the Section 5311 and STA Funds, noting that the
Fiscal Year 2003 Apportionment for Section 5311 Funds was projected to
be lower than originally anticipated.
Commissioner Dick Kelly expressed his concern regarding the distribution of
STA Funds and requested the Commission's review. He stated his belief
that the Coachella Valley creates a greater amount of sales tax per capita,
therefore creating more need for transit. The current fund distribution does
not allow the Coachella Valley to realize the benefit of the funds it creates.
M/S/C (Hall/West) to:
1. Receive and file information on Section 5311 and State Transit
Assistance Funds; and,
2. Forward to the Commission for final action.

10. COMMUTER RAIL PROGRAM UPDATE
Karen Leland, Staff Analyst, provided an update on the Commuter Rail
Program.
Commissioner Robin Lowe asked if the on -time performance has improved
since discussions with Union Pacific Railroad were held approximately one
year ago. Cathy Bechtel confirmed on -time performance on the Riverside
Line has improved significantly.
Commissioner Lowe then expressed her concern that ridership has notably
decreased for Sunline, RTA, and Metrolink yet the cost of subsidy continues
to increase. She requested future discussion to analyze the causes for this
situation.
Eric Haley listed current improvements under construction at various
Metrolink Stations. He also noted that the decline on the IEOC Line can be
attributed to the introduction of the 91 Line.
Commissioner Percy Byrd stated that from Sunline's perspective, availability
determines ridership and without the investment to increase availability,
ridership cannot increase.
Tanya Love reminded the Commission that Sunline implemented a fare
increase, which typically causes a ridership decrease for a short period of
time. Also, she indicated Sunline discovered a potential problem counting
riders that was identified in their triennial audit and they are seeking to
correct this issue.
Commissioner Dick Kelly noted that Sunline lost the ability to provide service
to schools and non-profit organizations due to Federal complaints and this
has resulted in a significant decrease in ridership.
M/S/C (Wilson/van Haaster) to:
1. Receive and file the Commuter Rail Program Update as an
information item; and,
2. Forward to the Commission for final action.

Cathy Bechtel, Director of Transportation Planning and
Development

SUBJECT:
FY 04 Federal Transit Administration's Section 5310 Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Adopt the FY 04 Federal Transit Administration's 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. 03-022 that the projects are
consistent with the local area regional transportation plan; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Federal Transit Administration's (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 $8.5 million available for programming during the FY 04 grant
cycle. A Local Review Committee (LRC) in each County quantitatively
evaluates all applications submitted for their area, ranks them, and submits
the scores to Caltrans Headquarters for the statewide competition. For FY
04, the Commission utilized a sub -committee of our Citizens Advisory
Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council (CAC/SSTAC) as
the LRC for Riverside County. The LRC was comprised of Judylynn Gries
from the Riverside Transit Agency, and myself. Sherry Thibodeaux, a
member of the CAC/SSTAC was originally scheduled to be part of the LRC
but due to other commitments was not available.
We received requests for 23 projects from 7 agencies in Riverside County.
The LRC met and scored the projects on March 17. The Proposed Regional
Priority List for Riverside County listing the final scores for each project is
attached. 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 2.
Since the Commission's May meeting is after that date, all approvals must
be completed at our April 9th Commission meeting.
The Commission is also required to include the awarded projects in the
Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP) and certify by resolution
that the projects are consistent with the local area regional transportation
plan.

Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Shirley Medina, Program Manager

Cathy Bechtel, Director of Transportation Planning
Development
and
Policy
SUBJECT:
Status of 2004 Regional Transportation Plan Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Receive and file a report on the status of the 2004 Regional
Transportation Plan Update; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is in the process of
preparing the 2004 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Update as required by state and
federal planning regulations. The current plan is the 2001 RTP, which was adopted in
April 2001. Transportation plans are required to be updated every three years. The
2004 RTP is scheduled for adoption by the SCAG Regional Council in April 2004.
The RTP is a long range plan that looks at future transportation improvements and the
impact of those improvements on the environment in the six -county region (counties of
Imperial, Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura). The plan is
subject to conformance with the adopted air plan. If conformity is not met, then
federal funding will not be permitted to the region.
The RTP update process involves the participation of county transportation
commissions, subregional agencies, state and federal transportation and air agencies,
local jurisdictions, and numerous public and private interested parties. To date, SCAG
has received local input as it relates to growth forecasts (population, housing, and
employment) and planned transportation improvements for the next 30 years.
SCAG has established several committees to look at the various areas that must be
included in the RTP. The committees are as follows:
• Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
• Aviation Technical Advisory Committee (ATAC)
• Highway and Transportation Finance Task Force
• MagLev Task Force
6
• Regional Transportation Demand Management Task Force
• Goods Movement Advisory Committee (GMAC)
• Growth Visioning Subcommittee
• Regional Transit Task Force
• Forecasting Technical Task Force (FTTF)
Other Standing Committees include:
• Modeling Task Force
• Conformity Working Group
RCTC staff has been participating in each of the above committees/task forces. Hideo
Sugita is Chair of the Conformity Working Group and Shirley Medina is Chair of the
Modeling Task Force.
There is increased concern over SCAG's ability to adopt a transportation plan that can
be found in conformance with the adopted air plan (State Implementation Plan (SIP)).
Emission models and emission sensors have been updated and are demonstrating that
more emissions are generated than previously estimated. Further, the state's budget
meltdown will impact the regions ability to fund planned transportation projects,
including those that are considered air quality improvement projects, in addition to
decreased revenue forecasts. Lastly, regionally significant projects in the current plan
that were scheduled for implementation in 2010 are not financially supported or
identified in county transportation commission plans. This could lead into forcing the
region to redirect funds towards these projects as SCAG claims these projects result in
significant air quality benefits.
RCTC staff is raising these concerns with SCAG and hopes to resolve some of these
issues well in advance of the scheduled adoption. We will provide the Commission
regular updates on the 2004 RTP development over the course of the year.
