In response to Commissioner Russell Betts’ clarification about the trespasser impacts,
Sheldon Peterson replied unfortunately on the railroads they have a lot of people who
cross the tracks illegally and sometimes get struck by trains that causes a tragic incident,
and it causes significant delays to the railroad and Metrolink as well. There is an incident
reduction task force that includes Metrolink, Union Pacific and BNSF as they need to
improve signage and crossings, remove homeless people from encampments along the
tracks, and minimize people’s access to the trains and keep the trains moving smoothly.
Commissioner Betts stated there is an emphasis on safety focus and asked if the budget
for that has gone up and what is being done on safety focus.

RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes

Sheldon Peterson replied that it continually does. He stated Metrolink has installed a
positive train control through the years, so Metrolink has an automated system to try to
prevent any sort of train-on-train collision or reduce speeds on curves, so this system
needs to be continually upgraded to make sure there are no train incidents on the
railroad. In addition to the trespassers, they try to reduce incidences on board the train
as well as issues with safety in the yards.
Anne Mayer stated Metrolink, as with the commuter rail systems across the country, was
hit hard by COVID-19 and riders are not returning. Ridership is at 44 percent and there
has been a fundamental shift of who uses Metrolink as they are seeing a significant
number of vehicles back on the road. People are not getting on the train for a variety of
reasons - there are a lot of people who no longer go to work every day and that is what
ridership comprised most of Metrolink’s customers pre COVID-19. A lot of those people
are working from home, or they are only working two days a week and choose to drive.
They are having to be creative working with their five county partners on how to bring
people back on the train and encouraging new ridership. She stated their continued
investment in Metrolink is important and it just needs to be reimagined to try to pull more
people in. People are more willing to take a train when it is reliable and know they are
going to be on time. Their partners at Metrolink are working hard to bring riders back
and their subsidies are going up and it is the Commission’s responsibility to keep providing
the funding for that, but they are going to have to spend the next couple of years figuring
out how to help bring Metrolink back to a ridership that is sustainable and impactful.
M/S/C (Cabrera/Washington) for the Committee to recommend the
Commission take the following action(s):
1) Receive and file a report on highlights from the Southern California
Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) services;
2) Approve the Fiscal Year 2023/24 SCRRA operating and capital budget,
which results in an operating subsidy of $28,231,736, with an operating
contingency of $1,658,651, for a not-to-exceed total of $29,890,387, and
a capital subsidy of $15,691,304;
3) Authorize the Executive Director to finalize and execute Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) No. 23-25-079-00 with SCRRA regarding annual
funding, including subrecipient matters related to pass-through of
federal funding;
4) Authorize the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to
enter into a working capital loan agreement with SCRRA for up to
$5,000,000, contingent on the development and subsequent approval of
an associated policy by the SCRRA Board of Directors and concurrence
from all five member agencies;
5) Approve Amendment No. 1 to MOU No. 22-25-090-01 with SCRRA for the
Commission’s FY 2022/23 funding obligation for an additional $448,509

10. ITEM(S) PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR AGENDA
There were no items pulled from the consent calendar.
11. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT
There were no reports from the Executive Director.
12. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
12A. Commissioner Linda Molina stated a few months ago there was talk about the
ridership issues with all transportation systems and they were going to work
together regionally to promote each other’s programs and asked Anne Mayer if
there is something in the works already.
At this time, Commissioner Gutierrez left the meeting.
Anne Mayer replied there is nothing specific right now and where they see
everyone working together is trying to advocate at the state level for more funding
for operations. The partnership and the focus right now have been on how they
ensure that both bus transit and rail transit can continue to survive with this kind
of drop in ridership. Although disappointing as David Knudsen had mentioned
there is nothing in the Governor’s budget for additional operations so the focus
has been on trying to find ways to ensure the systems can survive financially,
maintain their service, but also find ways to do things differently and sharing ideas

as well, but nothing specific beyond just trying to make sure they advocate with
one voice.
Commissioner Molina asked if they still have where if they are riding in one
direction, they can go with the same fare from Metrolink to Metro rail and bus
system like in Los Angeles because it works. Anne Mayer replied yes.
Commissioner Molina stated that is a wonderful way to promote their system.
12B. Commissioner Betts stated regarding the earlier discussion about ridership and
Metrolink the key is going to be passengers need to feel safe on the lines. The
times when he rode regularly up to Los Angeles to go to the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) there were two incidences two months in a
row, and he decided not to ride anymore. He suggested in looking at increasing
ridership that would probably be the first and best thing to put the money into.
13. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business for consideration by the Budget and Implementation
Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m.

Agenda Item 6C
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Matt Wallace, Deputy Director of Financial Administration
THROUGH: Sergio Vidal, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Analysis
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission to take the following action(s):
1) Receive and file the sales tax analysis for the Quarter 1, 2023 (1Q 2023).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its June 2023 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement with MuniServices, an Avenu
Insights and Analytics Company (MuniServices), 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. 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 1,641 businesses. Through
4Q 2022, the CDTFA approved $16,545,659 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
1Q 2023. Most of the 1Q 2023 Measure A sales tax revenues were received in the first quarter
of calendar year 2023, during March 2023 through May 2023, due to a lag in the sales tax
calendar. The summary section of the 1Q 2023 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).
Taxable transactions for the top 25 contributors in Riverside County generated 26.78 percent of
taxable sales for the benchmark year ended 1Q 2023, slightly more than the benchmark year
12
Agenda Item 6C
ended 1Q 2022 at 26.58 percent. The top 100 tax contributors generated 40.55 percent for the
benchmark year ended 1Q 2023, more than the 39.83 percent for the benchmark year ended
1Q 2022.
In the Economic Category Analysis below, all six categories experienced new highs in the 1Q 2023
benchmark year compared to the prior eight benchmark years.
An analysis of sales tax performance through 1Q 2023 is attached and illustrates consistent cycles
for sales tax performance for most of the economic categories since 1Q 2018, apart from
COVID-19 impacts for some categories.
For the top 10 economic segments (miscellaneous retail, auto sales – new, restaurants,
department stores, service stations, building materials – wholesale, food markets, heavy
industry, building materials – retail, and apparel stores) during the past eight benchmark year
quarters, sales tax reached a new high point in 1Q 2023 for eight out of ten categories. The
economic segments represent 73.4 percent of the total sales tax receipts. For the remaining 21
economic segments representing 26.6 percent of total sales tax receipts, 10 economic segments
representing 16.6 percent of total sales tax receipts reached new high points in the benchmark
year 1Q 2023.
In the Economic Segment Analysis below, miscellaneous retail, which includes online retailers, is
RCTC’s largest economic segment, followed by auto sales – new and restaurants. Since the
benchmark year 1Q 2016, each of these segments has realized significant sales tax growth.
Miscellaneous retail has increased 169 percent, auto sales – new has increased 65 percent, and
the restaurant segment has increased 61 percent when comparing benchmark year 1Q 2016 to
benchmark year 1Q 2023. The increase related to online sales is largely a result of the recent
legislation to tax online sales along with general consumer spending shifting from brick and
mortars to online.
As noted, auto sales-new and restaurants have also experienced increases since 1Q 2016 due to
general price increases (inflation) and improved consumer demand.

AGENDA ITEM 6D
Agenda Item 6D
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
THROUGH: Sergio Vidal, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission take the following action(s):
1) Receive and file the Quarterly Financial Statements for the twelve months ended
June 30, 2023.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the fiscal year, staff monitored the revenues and expenditures/expenses for the
Commission. The attached preliminary unaudited financial statements present the revenues
and expenditures/expenses for the Fiscal Year 2022/23. Many accrual adjustments for revenues
and expenditures/expenses have been made for the year ended June 30, 2023, and are
reflected in these financial statements; however, staff will continue to make year-end accrual
adjustments based on materiality through the completion of the audit in October 2023.
The operating statement shows the Measure A, Local Transportation Fund (LTF), State Transit
Assistance (STA), and State of Good Repair (SGR) sales tax revenues through the fourth quarter
at 98 percent of the budget. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions. GASB Statement
No. 33 requires sales tax revenues to be accrued for the period in which they collected at the
point of destination or sale, as applicable. The California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration collects the sales tax funds and remits these funds to the Commission after the
reporting period for the businesses. These creates a two-month lag in the receipt of revenues
by the Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements reflect the Measure A and LTF
revenues related to collections through May 2023 and received by the Commission in July 2023.
On a cash basis, the Measure A and LTF sales tax receipts are 1.64 and 5.19 percent higher,
respectively, than the twelve months last fiscal year. State Transit Assistance, including State of
Good Repair for the fourth quarter of FY 2022/23, are expected to be received in the first
quarter of FY 2023/24. Staff will continue to monitor the trends in the sales taxes and report to
the Commission any necessary adjustments in revenue projections.
21
Agenda Item 6D

Staff will continue to prepare year-end reimbursement accrual adjustments in connection with
the year-end closing and audit process.
During the FY 2022/23 budget process, the Commission estimated Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues at $31 million past through from Western Riverside Council of
Governments. Through the fourth quarter of FY 2022/23, the Commission received TUMF
revenues through April 2023 of $26.5 million. The Commission expects to receive May through
June 2023 TUMF revenues in the first quarter of FY 2023/24.
The RCTC 91 Express Lanes and 15 Express Lanes toll revenues, penalties, and fees are at
$73.3 million and $39.3 million, respectively, totaling $112.6 million through the fourth quarter
of FY 2022/23. The operating statement shows toll revenues, penalties, and fees at 115 percent
of the budget. This reflects periodic toll rate changes made based on traffic volumes according
to the approved toll policy on the RCTC 91 Express Lanes. Staff will continue to monitor the toll
transactions and/or trips and non-toll revenues.
22
Agenda Item 6D
During the FY 2022/23 budget process, the Commission conservatively estimated investment
income at $1,168,400 due to interest rate volatility in the current market. The operating
statement shows investment income, which includes net unrealized investment gains and
losses at $35.3 million.
The expenditures/expenses and other financing sources/uses categories are in line overall with
the expectations of the budget with the following exceptions:
• Salaries and benefits are under budget primarily due to unfilled positions for an
Accounting Technician, IT Administrator, Senior Management Analyst, and two Senior
Capital Projects Manager;
• Professional services are under budget primarily due to unused budget authority for
general legal services; financial advisory services; rail operations and development
activities; and highway, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation other
professional services;
• Support costs are under budget due to unused budget authority for rail station
maintenance, repairs, and utilities; express lanes operations and maintenance; call box
maintenance and repairs; and software and computer maintenance and repairs;
• Program operations are under budget due to unused budget authority for rail station
security; toll operations; motorist and commuter assistance program operations; and
highway and rail program management;
• The status of significant Commission capital projects (engineering, construction, design-
build, and right of way/land) with budget amounts exceeding $5 million is discussed
within Attachment 1;
• Operating and capital disbursements are made as claims are submitted to the
Commission by transit operators;
• Special studies unused budget authority is related to feasibility studies;
• Local street and roads expenditures are related to Measure A sales tax revenues. These
financial statements reflect the turnback payments through May 2023;
• Regional arterial expenditures represent expenditures for the highway and regional
arterial program administered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG). CVAG requests reimbursements from the Commission based on available funds
and sufficient budget authority;
• Debt service principal payments are made annually on June 1, while debt service
interest payments are made semiannually on December 1 and June 1. In accordance
with the applicable accounting standards related to the Enterprise funds, both the RCTC
91 and 15 Express Lanes Enterprise funds record accrued and compounded interest on
its related debt such as the RCTC 91 Express Lanes 2021 Toll Refunding Bonds and
2013 Toll Revenue Bonds, Series B capital appreciation bonds for the 91 Project as well
as the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan for the
15 Express Lanes project. Therefore, $7,460,427 million of the $67,811,727 million
interest cost through the fourth quarter will not be paid in the current year for the RCTC
23
Agenda Item 6D
91 and 15 Express Lanes Enterprise funds and therefore, not included in the FY 2022/23
budget;
• Capital outlay expenditures are under budget due to unused budget authority for office
and property improvements for station rehabilitation, toll operations equipment, and
Commission office, network, hardware, and software improvements;
• Depreciation is recorded as part of the accrual adjustments in the RCTC 91 and
15 Express Lanes Enterprise funds accounting records; however, depreciation is
considered a non-cash transaction and not included in the FY 2022/23 budget; and
• Transfers in and out include administrative cost allocation process, Measure A Sales Tax
Bonds debt funding, LTF disbursements for planning, programming activities, and 15/91
Express Lanes Connector funding from the 91 Express Lanes surplus toll revenues. The
difference between transfers out and transfers in of $1.6 million is related to the
transfer of 15 Express Lanes assets from the government-wide accounting records to the
15 Express Lanes Enterprise Fund.

91 Project (P003028)
The project connects with Orange County Transportation Authority’s
tolled express lanes at the Orange County/Riverside County line and
continues approximately eight miles to the Interstate (I)-15/State
Route (SR)-91 interchange. The project involves widening
pavement on the outside of the existing highway to reposition
general purpose lanes and repurposing the existing high occupancy
vehicle lanes to accommodate two-tolled express lanes in the
median in each direction. The 91 Project also involves constructing
one new general-purpose lane in each direction from SR-71 to I-15,
ultimately providing two-tolled express lanes and five general
purpose lanes in each direction. 91 Project development activities
began in September 2007, construction work related to roadway and
structures began in July 2014, and the toll lanes opened in March
2017. The total cost of the 91 Project is estimated at $1.4 billion,
including capitalized interest, debt service reserves, contingency,
and cost of issuance. The FY 2022/23 budget amount is
$13,391,400.
$13,391,400 $13,528,262 The slight over run of the FY 2022/23 budget at the fourth
quarter is due to higher than anticipated costs for right of way
(ROW) acquisitions ($1.0 million), offset by under runs in
design builder (0.3 million), ROW support services ($0.3
million), construction ($0.2 million), and permits (0.1 million).
91 Express Lanes (P009103 & P009104)
These projects provide repair and rehabilitation of SR-91 general
purpose and express lanes, as well as the implementation of a new
back-office system. The FY2022/23 budget amount is
$30,442,100.
30,442,100 27,640,886 The under run of the FY 2022/23 budget at the fourth quarter
is due lower than anticipated expended costs for Phase 2
corridor improvements and associated project construction
management ($2.2 million) and Back Office System
implementation ($0.7 million)..
I-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension (P003044)
The project will add express lanes between SR-74 and Cajalco
Road. The estimated project cost is $544 million with the Project
Approval and Environmental Document (PA/ED) phase of work
funded by federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
funds and Measure A. The FY 2022/23 budget amount is
$3,171,300.
3,171,300 2,811,640 The under run of the FY 2022/23 budget at the fourth quarter
is due to lower than anticipated expended costs for the
preliminary engineering and environmental document
contract (0.2 million), offset by in program management, staff
labor, legal, and other professional services ($0.5 million).

15/91 Express Lanes Connector (P003039)
The 15/91 Express Lane Connector (ELC) project constructs an
express lanes median direct connector from southbound I-15 to
westbound SR-91 and from eastbound SR-91 to northbound I-15 in
the city of Corona. The project also adds tolled express lanes in each
direction of I-15 from the 15/91 ELC to Hidden Valley Parkway; adds
a tolled express lane in each direction of SR-91 from east of Lincoln
Avenue to the 15/91 ELC; extends the tolled express lane along
eastbound SR-91 from I-15 to west of Promenade Avenue; and
extends an eastbound auxiliary lane along SR-91 from west of I-15
to west of Promenade Avenue. The project also includes the addition
of a toll collection system infrastructure along I-15 and SR-91. The
estimated project cost is $270 million and the project is partially
funded by state funds allocated under Senate Bill (SB) 132
legislation. The connector is expected to open to traffic in 2023. The
FY 2022/23 budget amount is $72,788,300.
72,788,300 59,508,357 The under run of the FY 2022/23 budget at the fourth quarter
is due to delayed invoicing from the design builder ($5.0
million) and the toll services contractor ($1.3 million), and
lower than anticipated expended costs from the project
construction management contract ($0.9 million), Caltrans
($1.0 million), toll marketing ($0.8 million), and unused
contingency ($4.0 million).
Mid County Parkway (MCP) (P002302, P002317, P002320,
P002324, & P002328)
The environmental document for a new corridor from I-215 to SR-79
was approved in April 2015. The first design package is under
construction. Construction of this new facility will be completed over
many years as funding becomes available; the total project cost is
estimated at $1.3 to $2.1 billion. The FY 2022/23 budget amount
is $37,541,500.
37,541,500 18,648,999 The under run of the FY 2022/23 budget at the fourth quarter
is primarily due to the following for each project:
MCP: The minimal under run in ROW acquisition and
ROW support is due to unused contingency ($0.2 million).
MCP I-215/Placentia Interchange: The over run for this
project was due to ROW acquisitions/support ($1.7
million) and program management ($0.3 million), that was
slightly offset by the under runs in construction ($0.3
million) and construction management ($0.1 million).
MCP Mitigation: The first year of plant establishment was
completed at the beginning of the third quarter in FY
2020/21 and the under run in the fourth quarter of FY
2022/23 was due to mitigation property monitoring ($2.4
million).
MCP2 and MCP3: The Commission approved the shift
from MCP2 to MCP3 at the May 2022 Commission
meeting. The under run was due to unused ROW
acquisition/support services on MCP2 ($14.9 million) and
unused contingency for final design on MCP3 ($2.2
million).

TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Megan Kavand, Senior Financial Analyst
THROUGH: Sergio Vidal, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Monthly Investment Report
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission take the following action(s):
1) Receive and file the Monthly Investment Report for the month ended June 30, 2023.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Commission’s investment reports have generally reflected investments primarily
concentrated in the Riverside County Pooled Investment Fund as well as investments in mutual
funds for sales tax revenue bonds debt service payments.
As a result of significant project financings such as the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement
Project (91 Project or 91 CIP) and the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP), the
Commission engaged MetLife Investment Management, LLC, formerly Logan Circle Partners, L.P.
(MetLife), as the investment manager for the bond proceeds and other required funds.
Additionally, the Commission engaged Payden & Rygel Investment Management (Payden &
Rygel) to make specific investments for Commission operating funds. The Commission approved
initial agreements with the investment managers in May 2013 following a competitive
procurement and has extended the agreements through the annual recurring contracts process.
MetLife invested the debt proceeds and subsequent other required contributions for the 91
Project and I-15 ELP in separate accounts of the Short-Term Actively Managed Program (STAMP).
The Commission completed the 91 Project financing in 2013, the I-15 ELP and 91 Project
completion financing (2017 Financing) in July 2017 and the 2021 91 Project refinancing
(2021 Financing) in October 2021. Consistent with financing expectations, the Commission
expended all 91 Project debt proceeds and equity contributions, except for the toll revenue
bonds debt service reserve, and subsequent to commencement of operations, established other
required accounts. The Commission continues to expend the 2017 Financing bond proceeds on
the I-15 ELP and funded required reserve accounts.
The monthly investment report for June 2023, as required by state law and Commission policy,
reflects the investment activities resulting from the 91 Project, 2017 Financing, 2021 Financing

and available operating cash. As of June 30, 2023, the Commission’s cash and investments were
comprised of the following:

STAMP for 2017 Financing 31,166,342
Total $ 1,365,103,111
Note: 1 Unreconciled and unaudited
As of June 30, 2023, the Commission’s cash and investments are in compliance with both the
Commission’s investment policy adopted on December 14, 2022, and permitted investments
described in the indenture for the Commission’s sales tax revenue bonds and the master
indentures for the Commission’s toll revenue bonds. Additionally, the Commission has adequate
cash flows for the next six months.

The Commission’s digital communication channels continue to be the vital source of information
for the public. Information about RCTC’s wide array of transportation projects, programs, and
initiatives affecting the residents and stakeholders of Riverside County is distributed through the
website, social media platforms, newsletter, and other media. Through these various channels,
the Commission is also able to highlight funding successes, partnerships, and investments made
through Measure A.
The Public Affairs staff actively monitors the Commission’s communication channels to respond
to comments and questions, assessing how audiences engage with the digital information. This
Public Engagement Metrics Report covers the second quarter of 2023, from April to June.
The various public engagement activities are summarized in this report and in the attached Public
Engagement Metrics. A steady increase in followers was experienced across all social media
channels. Meta, which operates both Facebook and Instagram, and Twitter make frequent
changes to their algorithms which can produce mixed results in the way reach and engagement
are attributed and the placement of targeted ads.
Staff develops digital advertising campaigns based on the need to increase visibility for specific
projects, meetings, or events - such as construction closures and public meetings. Targeted digital
advertising is also placed for the Commission’s advocacy efforts for grants and other programs.
It is important to note that the metrics provided are compared to the previous quarter, which
can produce varying results based on the level of activity in any one quarter.
This quarter’s report includes three sets of data:
37
Agenda Item 6G
1) Metrics for RCTC’s overall public engagement activities including public sentiment on
social media; social media followers, engagement, and reach; email notifications; website
use and access; and top pages visited.
2) Metrics for RCTC’s 15/91 Express Lanes Connector Project including email activity, text
messages, website sessions, and social media followers.
3) Metrics for RCTC’s 71/91 Interchange Project including email activity, website sessions,
and social media following.
RCTC Overall Public Engagement
1) Social Media
a. Public sentiment was generally positive with posts highlighting Construction
Safety Week, a $15.5 million award for the Metrolink Double Track Project, and
FSP’s 30 Years of Service acting as key drivers.
b. Facebook: Followers continue to increase steadily. This quarter, followers grew by
1%, from 13,343 to 13,481. The page had 59,959 forms of engagement, such as
likes, comments, and video viewing and shares, a 65% decrease from last quarter’s
172,043 forms of engagement. The page reached 335,824 unique users for the

Instagram account reached 79,761 unique users, a 7% increase from last quarter’s
73,934.
e. The drop in overall engagement and impressions for the quarter was due in large
part to the volume of high-profile activity that occurred in the previous quarter,
such as ground breakings and other project milestones.
2) The Point E-Newsletter: RCTC continues to produce quality content for its blog, The Point,
and distributes the blog posts as monthly email newsletter. Subscribers decreased by 1%,
from 6,275 to 6,211. Approximately 45% of the e-newsletter subscribers opened The
Point, and 5% clicked on links to learn more. The open rate is significantly higher than the
industry (government) average of 34%.

AGENDA ITEM 6H
Agenda Item 6H
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: David Knudsen, External Affairs Director
THROUGH: Aaron Hake, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission to take the following action(s):
1) Receive and file a state and federal legislative update.
State Update
California State Legislature 2023-24 Session
The California Legislature reconvened from summer recess on August 14 and will continue to
hold hearings and votes on legislation until adjournment for the year on September 14. In total,
more than 600 bills are pending consideration in Senate and Assembly Appropriations
Committees, underscoring the significant volume of legislation under review over the coming
weeks. Following adjournment, the deadline for Governor Gavin Newsom to sign or veto
legislation is October 14.
Assembly Bill 1385 (Garcia)
On July 5, the Senate Governance and Finance Committee held a hearing on Assembly Bill 1385
(AB 1385), which passed by a vote of 6-2. RCTC Executive Director Anne Mayer attended the
hearing to provide primary testimony in support of the bill. If approved by the Legislature and
signed by the Governor, AB 1385 will increase RCTC’s sales tax authority to 1.5 cents. AB 1385 is
now on the Senate Floor and awaits consideration by the full chamber.
State Budget
As previously reported, the Fiscal Year 2023-24 State Budget maintained $2 billion for the Transit
and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) that was recommended for reduction in the Governor’s
January budget release. As a result, $2 billion will be available via TIRCP in FY 2023-24 and
another $2 billion is planned for FY 2024-25. Additionally, the final budget also provides
$1.1 billion over three years for the Zero Emission Transit Capital Program (ZETCP).
Together, these programs are intended to provide flexibility for transit capital and operations
44
Agenda Item 6H
expenses across the state. The short window of time in which the legislation was negotiated and
drafted by the Governor, Senate, and Assembly has lent to concerns regarding ambiguous
language and potential errors in need of cleanup.
Specifically, Commission staff are seeking clarity on the requirements regional transportation
planning agencies (RTPA), including RCTC, must meet in order to receive future TIRCP or ZETCP
funding. This includes a requirement to submit to the state for approval short- and long-term
financial plans and regularly updated transit operator data, in addition to other accountability
measures. Concerns have been raised regarding the precedent-setting nature of these
requirements, particularly for the ambiguity of how the California State Transportation Agency
(CalSTA) could influence regional policies as a result. While CalSTA anticipates releasing draft
guidelines in August, followed by final guidelines at the end of September, efforts are underway
for potential cleanup legislation, likely in the form of a budget bill junior to amend the Budget
Act. RCTC is closely monitoring the guideline drafting process and the exploration of cleanup
legislation. Staff will keep the Commission apprised and will engage as appropriate.
Federal Update
Federal Community Project Funding (Earmarks)
In July, the House of Representatives released a list of Community Project Funding (CPF) requests
in the FY 2024 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill. This bill
includes the following RCTC-led CPF requests:
• $5 million for the Coachella Valley Rail Project, requested by Representative Ken Calvert;
• $4 million for the State Route 91 Eastbound Corridor Operations Project, requested by
Representative Young Kim; and
• $500,000 for the Metrolink Double Track Project: Moreno Valley to Perris, requested by
Representative Mark Takano.
For the past two federal fiscal years the House and Senate had previous agreement regarding
topline earmark spending resulting in House CPF requests passing without change in the Senate
and likewise Senate Congressional Directed Spending (CDS) requests passing without change in
the House. However, no such agreement has been reached between the House and the Senate,
raising questions as to whether CPF and CDS requests could be altered or removed when the
House and Senate go to conference for a final FY 2024 Appropriations bill. RCTC staff will monitor
and continue to communicate its support for this funding as the legislation is considered by
Congress over the coming weeks—and months, should negotiations continue past the
September 30 deadline as they have in past years.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a policy and information item. There is no fiscal impact.

Legislation/ Author Description Bill Status Position Date of Board Adoption
AB 6 (Friedman) This bill provides significant new oversight to the California Air Resources
Board in the approval process of a metropolitan planning organization’s
Sustainable Communities Strategy and the methodology used to
estimate greenhouse gas emissions. These new burdensome
requirements will likely result in significant delays to transportation
projects.
Passed the Assembly,

Committees (Author agreed
to not proceed with the bill
in 2023).

Oppose Based on Platform 5/24/2023
AB 7 (Friedman) This bill requires the California State Transportation Agency, California
Department of Transportation, and California Transportation
Commission to consider specific principles as part of their processes for
project development, selection, and implementation. AB 7 may impact
the allocation of billions of dollars in state transportation funding,
infringing on RCTC’s ability to deliver critically needed transportation
infrastructure in Riverside County.
Passed out of the Senate
Transportation Committee
on July 11, 2023. Re-
referred to the Senate
Appropriations Committee.

Oppose Based on Platform 5/25/2023
AB 558 (Arambula) This bill restructures the Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA)
by increasing its board membership from nine to thirteen members. This
restructuring is done without the consensus and support from regional
stakeholders and sets a concerning precedent for RCTC and other
regional transportation agencies that rely upon a collaborative process
to be effective.
Additionally, the bill was amended on April 18 to subject a county
transportation expenditure plan prepared by the Fresno County
Transportation Authority (FCTA) to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.

AGENDA ITEM 7
Agenda Item 7
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Jillian Guizado, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: Aaron Hake, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: 2024 State Transportation Improvement Program Funding Distribution and
Draft Fund Estimate
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission take the following action(s):
1)Approve the 2024 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding distribution
among the three geographic areas in Riverside County per the adopted STIP intracounty
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The STIP is a five-year program of projects administered by the California Transportation
Commission (CTC). It is updated every two years outlining the commitment and programming of
transportation funds for the State’s multimodal transportation system, including: highways, rail,
transit, local roads, and bike and pedestrian facilities. In June of every odd year, Caltrans is
required to prepare a draft STIP Fund Estimate (FE) that estimates how much funding will be
available for programming for the next five-year period. The CTC released the draft 2024 STIP FE
at its June 28, 2023, meeting and, at the time this agenda item was prepared, was due to adopt
the final 2024 STIP FE at its August 16, 2023, meeting.
The 2024 STIP will cover Fiscal Years 2024/25 through 2028/29. Each STIP cycle adds on two
years with most of the programming capacity available in the last two years. STIP funds are
allocated into two broad programs – the Regional Improvement Program (RIP) receives
75 percent of the total STIP funds, and the remaining 25 percent is directed to Caltrans for its
Interregional Transportation Improvement Program. The 75 percent RIP funding is further
subdivided by formula into county shares. County shares are available solely for projects
nominated by regional agencies. The 2024 STIP FE also establishes funding levels for the State
Highway Operation and Protection Program, which Caltrans prepares in consultation with the
regions.
STIP Intracounty Formula Distribution
Per the Commission’s STIP intracounty formula distribution approved in 1998 through an MOU
between the Commission, Coachella Valley Association of Governments, and Western Riverside
48
Agenda Item 7
Council of Governments, STIP funds are allocated to Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo
Verde Valley based on the most recent fiscal year taxable sales by geographic area used for
Measure A allocations. As seen in Table 1, the geographic area percentages of taxable sales
applied to the 2016 through 2024 STIPs demonstrates a growing trend in Western County
compared to Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys:
Table 1. Taxable Sales Share by Riverside County Geographic Area

Palo Verde Valley 0.70% 0.59% 0.43% 0.44% 0.39%
Per the STIP intracounty distribution formula, each geographic area will receive funding based on
the above percentages. In addition, state law allows up to five percent of RIP funding for
planning, programming, and monitoring (PPM) activities. The Commission’s typical practice has
been to set aside two percent for PPM activities to fund Project Study Reports, planning, and
staff costs associated with STIP funding, programming, and project administration. PPM funding
is available for Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and Commission activities.
DISCUSSION:
2024 STIP FE
On August 16, 2023, the CTC adopted the final 2024 STIP FE, which identifies county share targets
for each region in the state. Statewide, $2.5 billion of new STIP capacity is available in the 2024
STIP; of this amount, $59,788,000 is identified for Riverside County. The majority of new STIP
capacity is available in the last two years of the 2024 STIP cycle, FYs 2027/28 and 2028/29.
Table 2 reflects how the Riverside County STIP funds should be distributed according to the STIP
intracounty MOU. Staff is proposing to increase the PPM off the top allocation from two percent
to three percent with the one percent increase intended to cover staff time spent advancing the
Coachella Valley-San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service (CV Rail) project into the Tier 2
environmental phase. The remaining two percent of PPM will be shared between the
Commission and CVAG as detailed in MOU No. 23-66-052-00.

Agenda Item 7
In the 2022 STIP, the Commission programmed the delta of its STIP Maximum and Target shares
($15,658,000) on CV Rail. In doing so, Palo Verde Valley did not receive its formula share of the
delta. That amounts are reflected in Table 2 as “PVV delta from 2022 Target/Max.”
2024 STIP Project Selection Process
The Commission is the entity that prepares, approves, and submits the STIP proposal for the
entirety of Riverside County. Each of the three geographics areas of the county have a different
process for selecting projects for inclusion in the STIP.
Western Riverside County
Western Riverside County projects are nominated by Commission staff. Recommendations for
current and new projects for STIP funds will be considered and based on the 2019-29 Measure A
Highway Delivery Plan and other high priority projects approved by the Commission.
Coachella Valley
CVAG nominates its projects and notifies Commission staff for final concurrence and submittal
to the CTC. Staff will review the programming process and timeline with CVAG staff and present
CVAG’s recommended projects to the Commission for inclusion in the 2024 STIP submittal. As
previously noted, in the 2022 STIP, the Commission programmed up to the Maximum STIP share
by programming $15,658,000 for the CV Rail project without considering a proportional cost
share between Riverside County geographic areas. With 64 percent of the Riverside County
CV Rail track mileage share located in the Coachella Valley, the Coachella Valley’s STIP formula
share contribution to CV Rail is $10,021,120. Utilizing its taxable sales share of the $15,658,000
2022 STIP amount programmed on CV Rail, the Coachella Valley was only contributing
$3,388,391; combining this with $6,632,729 of 2024 STIP Coachella Valley share will achieve the
Coachella Valley’s $10,021,120 track mileage share STIP contribution to the CV Rail Tier 2
environmental phase. This leaves $4,778,587 of 2024 STIP funding for CVAG to nominate on a
project. Additionally, as staff reported to the Commission at its May 2022 meeting, in the 2022
STIP, CVAG requested the $2 million previously programmed in the 2020 STIP for the Interstate
10/Avenue 50 interchange be de-programmed. This request was based on action the CVAG
Executive Committee took at its September 30, 2019 Executive Committee meeting. The $2
million deprogrammed needs to be added back into the Coachella Valley share during the 2024
STIP cycle, bringing the total Coachella Valley amount of 2024 STIP funding available for
programming to $6,778,587.
Palo Verde Valley
Palo Verde Valley projects are nominated by the city of Blythe (Blythe); however, given the minor
amount of funding typically available and the complexity in processing these funds, the
Commission and Blythe have executed MOUs in past STIP cycles trading Palo Verde Valley STIP
funds with Measure A Western Riverside County Highway funds. Blythe is required to include
the STIP traded funds in its Measure A Local Streets and Roads Capital Improvement Plan. Upon
CTC’s adoption of the 2024 STIP in March 2024, staff will move forward with preparing the 2024
STIP MOU with Blythe.

Because of the large amount of STIP funding programmed on the State Route 71/91 Interchange
project, STIP funds are being made available over the three-year life of the project as identified
in the table. Projects programmed in FYs 2025/26 and 2026/27 will be reviewed for carryover
into the 2024 STIP.
The 2024 STIP submittal is due to the CTC by December 15, 2023. CTC adoption of the 2024 STIP
is scheduled for March 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the Commission related to the adoption of the 2024 STIP funding

AGENDA ITEM 8
Agenda Item 8
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Multimodal Services Director
THROUGH: Aaron Hake, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Contract Authority for On-Call Multimodal Transit/Rail Consulting Services
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission take the following action(s):
1) Approve Amendment No. 1 to the following agreements to provide on-call multimodal
transit/rail consulting services for a five-year term to extend the agreements for an
additional amount of $8,000,000 and a total amount not to exceed$13,000,000:
a) Agreement No. 23-25-002-01 to HDR Engineering, Inc.;
b) Agreement No. 23-25-016-01 to HNTB Corporation;
c) Agreement No. 23-25-017-01 to Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.;
d) Agreement No. 23-25-018-01 to Mott MacDonald Group, Inc.;
e) Agreement No. 23-25-019-01 to STV Incorporated;
f) Agreement No. 23-25-020-01 to WSP USA Inc.;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements, on behalf of the Commission; and
3) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to execute task orders awarded to the
consultants under the terms of the agreements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the September 2022 Commission meeting, an on-call bench of consultants for multimodal
transit/rail consulting services was approved for a total aggregate contract value of $5,000,000.
The purpose of the on-call bench is to provide consultant services for multimodal operations,
planning, and development support services over a five-year term. An on-call bench is not a
guarantee that a consultant will receive work. Utilizing an on-call bench allows staff to issue a
task order request and execute a purchase order from qualified consultants to streamline the
procurement process. Having the on-call bench has proven to be efficient and effective for
various grants, feasibility studies, and other planning efforts with short or aggressive timeframes.
This is an exciting time for multimodal projects with a greater emphasis and more funding
available for transit and rail projects. The multimodal transit/rail on-call bench focuses on
planning, feasibility studies and analyses looking for ways to provide the best transportation
options for county residents.
52
Agenda Item 8
Below is a list of sample projects that could be developed or updated over the next few years:
1. Next Generation Rail Study
2. Rail Stations First/Last Mile Active Transportation Plan
3. Express Bus Study
4. Grade Separation Funding Priority Strategy
5. Warehousing and Logistics Truck Fee Study
6. Ridership Forecasting and Service Planning Models
7. Future Growth Market Assessments and Operational Analyses
8. Transit Oriented Development Plans
9. Future Rail Station Parking Needs Assessment
10. Rail Crossing Safety Improvements/Quiet Zone Plans
11. Zero Emission Bus Transition and Implementation Plan
12. Emerging Technology Feasibility Studies
13. Financial and Revenue Analyses
14. Sustainability and Climate Resiliency Studies
These consultant services are important to support the Commission’s ability to plan and develop
capital and service improvements that allow for the efficient and effective use of the limited
transportation funding.
At the time of approval of the current on-call bench, staff did not foresee the award of $5,000,000
in planning grants from the Southern California Association of Governments’ Regional Early
Action Planning 2.0 Program. The Commission was successful in applying for two grants:
$3,000,000 to conduct a Core Capacity Innovative Transit Study which will help develop a 30-year
vision of a fully integrated, multimodal public transportation network using advanced technology
and infrastructure design, and $2,000,000 to conduct a Station Feasibility and Transit Oriented
Development Plan on behalf of the city of Coachella to identify the future terminus and layover
facility of the Coachella Valley Rail Project. These awards in addition to another pending grant in
the amount of $3,000,000 that the Commission is partnering on with Amtrak and the city of Palm
Springs would exceed the current contract authority of the on-call bench; therefore, staff
recommends amending the agreements with the selected firms (Attachments 1 through 6) to
increase the aggregate contract value from $5,000,000 to $13,000,000 to account for these
projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact at this time as the projects anticipated to begin in Fiscal Year 2023/24
have been included in the approved annual budget.
The on-call, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity task order type contracts do not guarantee
work to any of the awardees; therefore, no funds are guaranteed to any consultant. Pre-qualified
consultants will be selected for specific tasks based on qualification information contained in
their proposals and/or competitive fee proposals for the specific tasks. Services will be provided
53
Agenda Item 8
through the Commission’s issuance of contract task orders to the consultants on an as-needed
basis. The projects/task orders issued will either be funded with federal or state grants or local
funds and will be accounted for in the respective budget year.

AGENDA ITEM 9
Agenda Item 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: August 28, 2023
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Eric DeHate, Transit Manager
THROUGH: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023/24 State of Good Repair Program Allocations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to recommend the Commission take the following action(s):
1) Approve Resolution No. 23-007, “Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation
Commission Approving the FY 2023/24 Project List for the California State of Good Repair
Program”;
2) Approve an allocation of $4,573,788 related to Fiscal Year 2023/24 State of Good Repair
(SGR) program funds to eligible Riverside County transit operators;
3) Approve an increase of $30,582 in the FY 2023/24 budget for SGR revenues to reflect
updated SCO estimates;
4) 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; and
5) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to approve administrative amendments to
the FY 2023/24 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) for incorporation of the SGR funds, as
necessary.
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 2023/24 is
$4,573,788. Of this amount, $3,934,416 is apportioned by population under PUC 99313, and will
73
Agenda Item 9
be sub-allocated by the Commission. PUC 99314 provides $639,372 directly to the transit
operators as determined by the SCO.
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 2023/24, 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, 2023. 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. 23-007, 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 2024/25 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 February 2023 SCO estimates 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 2023 estimate provided by the SCO, shows an
increase of 0.78 percent or $30,582 above the February 2023 estimate that was included in the
FY 2023/24 budget. As such, staff recommends a budget increase to include these revenues. 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
74
Agenda Item 9
operators beyond this amount will be brought back to the Commission for approval during the
mid-year staff report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are distributed to the Commission quarterly from the SCO with the final payment expected
in September 2024. $4,543,206 of SGR funds were already included in the Commission’s
FY 2023/24 budget. The additional funds from the revised August estimate are not included in
the FY 2023/24 budget.
