STATE ROUTE 79 REALIGNMENT PROJECT - REVISED SCOPE TO COMPLETE PSR/PDS OF THE REALIGNMENT ALTERNATIVES NEAR THE CITIES OF SAN JACINTO AND HEMET BETWEEN RAMONA EXPRESSWAY AND DOMENIGONI PARKWAY Hideo Sugita, Deputy Executive Director, reviewed the SR 79 Realignment Project. During a Project Development Team meeting, Caltrans informed the team that the Project Study Report/Project Development Support (PSR/PDS) could be used for this project.

Hideo Sugita indicated that the traffic analysis has been eliminated at this point. Staff is negotiating with CH2M Hill to possibly perform a traffic analysis on three of the alternatives that would constitute a reasonable effort at the PSR level to forward to the Project Report Phase/Environmental Study Phase. Commissioner Buydos then asked if the type of facility has been determined. Hideo Sugita responded that, from discussions with Caltrans, it has been determined to be a limited access expressway.

Commissioner Buydos asked when staff anticipated receiving the amended Biological Opinion and what caused the significant increase in the cost of the utilities relocation. Hideo Sugita responded that staff anticipated having the amended Biological Opinion in approximately one month. He also indicated that the cost increase was the result of the difference between the projected CalTrans estimate versus the actual utilities estimate. M/S/C (Pape/Buydos) to: 1.

Chand, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Receive and file the Financial Statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2001; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the first three months of the fiscal year, staff has monitored the revenues and expenditures of the Commission. The first quarter of the year is primarily directed toward completing end of the year activities. Staff expects most of the categories to present a better outlook by the end of the second and beginning of the third quarters. The Sales Tax and Interest revenues were 1% higher than projected. At this point, it is too early to project the significance over the entire year. As a result of recent events, the country's economy is headed for, or already in, a recession. This will translate into a recession for the State of California. Due to the economic diversity of Riverside County, staff believes that the County will not undergo a major recession. Local economists and staff believe that the County will have no growth or very minimal growth, however, it will not go into a recession. Staff does not expect a major recovery until the 3rd quarter of 2002. At mid year, staff will evaluate Sales Tax revenues and make appropriate adjustments. Federal, State and Local Government reimbursements and Other revenues are on a reimbursement basis and the Commission will receive these revenues as the projects are completed and billed. Most of the expenditure categories are right where they should be for the quarter or below targets. The only exception is the Office Lease/Utilities category as some of these expenditures are prepaid. Staff will continue to monitor this category and make adjustments as necessary. Salaries and Benefits and Streets and Roads categories are right at target. Intergovernmental Distribution is at 90%. This is due to the one-time LTF Administration payments made to CVAG and WRCOG. 000007 Due to the change in the economy, staff has begun a review of the expenditures and is aggressively looking for opportunit;es to reduce costs. Staff will continue to monitor the revenues and expenditures and notify the Commission of any unusual events.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Measure A Plan approved by the voters of Riverside County in November of 1 988 included four projects along State Highway 74. One of the projects included curve realignment between Winchester Road and Warren Road in unincorporated Riverside County near the City of Hemet. At the July 1991 Commission meeting, the Commission was presented with a report developed by Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall (DMJM) and Tudor Engineering. The report indicated that the existing geometric conditions of the highway were adequate, did not contribute to a safety problem and realignment of the curve was not warranted. They did identify four (4) minor safety improvements, which could improve conditions on Route 74 in areas that may be contributing to accident "hot spots". At this Commission meeting, Staff recommended that the Winchester to Warren curve realignment be replaced with the four- (4) minor safety improvement projects identified in the report. 000015 On February 22, 2001 RCTC received a letter from RCTC Commissioner and Mayor of the City of Hemet, Robin Lowe (see attached), requesting RCTC to reinstate the Route 74 Curve Realignment Project between Winchester Road to Warren Road. In the attached letter, the City of Hemet raised a number of concerns regarding the deferral of the project at the 1991 Commission Meeting. Based on these concerns staff agrees that the Route 74 Curve Realignment Project should be reevaluated. To perform this evaluation, staff recommends that Route 74 between Winchester Road and Warren Road be aerial mapped to assess the existing alignment; and issue TASK 1 to the On -Call Engineering Services Contract RO-2061 (Contract 02- 31-028) with SC Engineering to determine various realignment alternatives. Aerial Mapping Staff obtained two (2) bids to perform the Aerial Mapping based on the following Scope of Services: Aerial Photography consisting of two flight lines with an estimated fourteen (14) exposures. Compile the information and digital map the alignment conforming to Caltrans Standards. Provide electronic files and print outs of the digital maps. A summary of the bids received is as follows: Aerial Mapping Bid Summary Firm - Home Office (in order from low bid to high bid) Bid Amount Amount Over Low Bid 1 Advanced Digital Maps, Inc. - Irwindale, CA $16,600 2 Associated Engineers, Inc - Ontario, CA $38,053.16 $21,453.16 Staff reviewed the bids, and concurred that Advanced Digital Maps, Inc. low bid was the lowest responsive bid received for the project. Task 1 for the On Call Engineering Contract At the September 2001 Commission Meeting, the Commission awarded contract RO- 2061 for an amount not to exceed of $300,000 to SC Engineering to provide On -call Engineering Design Services for small engineering support needs. In addition, the Commission authorized the Executive Director to issue individual notices to proceed (NTP) for engineering tasks required to support agency projects for amounts not to exceed $50,000. • • • 000016 • • • Based on Commission action, SC Engineering will provide the following Scope of Services for Task 1 under the On -Call Engineering Contract: Task 1 Scope of Services: 1. Prepare preliminary drawings, which will include location maps, cross sections, geometric drawings, contour grading/drainage, and pavement delineation. 2. Prepare preliminary construction cost estimates. 3. Coordinate activities, including meetings with Caltrans, City of Hemet, and other agencies. Attached is a detailed Scope of Services and Cost estimate. Staff will review the realignment alternatives developed in the Task 1 report and return to the Commission for further action.

Kleindienst, Chairman Eric Haley, Executive Director Riverside County Transportation Commission 3560 University Ave., Suite 100 Riverside, CA 92501 Subject: Measure A SR 74 Curve Project Dear Mr. Kleindienst and Mr. Haley: I am writing to you on behalf of the Hemet City Council to express our concern and disappointment over the status of the SR 74 Curve Project (Winchester Road to Warren Road). We feel that it is appropriate to raise the issue to RCTC's attention once again as the Commission looks to move forward with the process to reauthorize Measure A. This safety project was specifically named in the original Ballot Measure approved by the voters in 1988 (please see attached). We have inquired about its status over the years, and were advised in 1997 that the project had been dropped from consideration by the Commission in 1991 based on an engineering study. The City of Hemet again wishes to restate its strenuous objection to the removal of this project from the current Measure A Funding cycle, on the following grounds: 1) This project was specifically approved in the Ballot Measure by the voters, and therefore should not have been subject to discretionary dismissal by the Commission. To our knowledge, it is the only project specifically called out in the Ballot Measure which was completely deleted through action of the Commission. 2) This project was unilaterally dropped by the Commission in 1991 without consultation with the City of Hemet, or the City's knowledge. This was done under the previous administration of RCTC and prior to the Commissions' expansion to include representation from all member agencies. 110 / ,(i 00001 3) The project was dropped after an engineering study conducted only three years into the life of the 20 -year Measure, without forethought as to future traffic growth and conditions in the San Jacinto Valley. This Valley continues to experience high levels of traffic growth including new generators such as the Diamond Valley Reservoir. 4) This was one of the lowest cost projects on the Ballot Measure, estimated at $2.0 Million. It therefore did not need to be dropped due to funding shortfalls or economic reasons. This is especially vexing in light of the additional cost which have been encountered on several other Measure projects, which far exceeded the cost of this project. 5) This was the only roadway project within the Hemet City Limits included in the Measure. The other project in the City, the operation of commuter rail on the San Jacinto Branchline, was significantly downscaled because of the cost, and is not expected to include operation into Hemet during the current cycle of Measure A. The City of Hemet has long supported the Commissions' position that we need to meet the commitments made to the voters in Measure A before we can reasonably ask thern to extend this funding source, which has become the transportation life -blood for Riverside County. We respectfully seek your assistance and support in helping us meet our collective commitment to the voters of the San Jacinto Valley by re -instating this popular and needed project. I look forward to your response and reconsideration of this project, and pledge Hemet's support to work cooperatively towards its successful completion.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the January 10, 2001 meeting, the Commission approved contract No. RO- 2128 with STV Incorporated (STV) for a base contract amount of $166,187 with an extra work amount of $16,613 for a total amount of $182,800. The scope of work for this contract is to perform preliminary engineering that will result in improvements to the San Jacinto Branch Line for a new commuter connection between Downtown Riverside and the City of Perris. At the February 13, 2001 meeting, the Commission approved Amendment #1 to STV to provide additional mapping of the San Jacinto Branch Line for $40,636 with an extra work amount of $5,000 for a total amount of $45,636. 000023 At the April 11, 2001 meeting, the Commission approved Amendment #2 to STV to provide alternative analysis using the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Riverside Branch Line to connect to Riverside Downtown. The alternative analysis study was to provide a more direct connection to the Riverside Downtown Station from the San Jacinto Branch Line for a base amount of $ 1 04,1 70, with additional extra work of $10,500 for a total amount of $114,670. At the June 25, 2001 meeting, the Commission approved Amendment #3 to STV to provide advanced Project Planning and to complete the New Starts Application for a base amount of $157,730. At the September 10, 2001 meeting, the Commission approved Amendment #4 to STV to study four alternatives to determine the best manner in which the San Jacinto Branch Line can be connected to the Riverside Downtown station by using the BN&SF railway system. The cost to study the four alternatives was for a base amount of $76,536, with additional extra work of $30,000 for a total amount of $106,536. In order to be able to complete the evaluation of the benefits of each of the alternative connections to the Riverside Downtown Station using either the UP or the BN&SF rail roads, it will also be necessary to understand the environmental impacts of each of the alternatives. STV has estimated that the cost to proceed with the environmental investigations is for a base amount of $254,320. The environmental documentation of the project is also necessary prior to the finalization of any right of way acquisition. STV's cost proposal and scope of work is attached. Additionally, Staff is recommending that an additional $40,000 be added to the existing $62,113 of extra work for a total extra work amount of $102,113. This additional cost will bring STV's total authorized contract value to $799,579 with a not to exceed value of $901 ,692. The extra work will be authorized by the Executive Director. A standard RCTC amendment will be used.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the May 9, 2001 RCTC Meeting, the Commission approved the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to address policy issues identified in the draft Station Management Plan, also submitted to the Commission at the same meeting. One of the main findings of the draft Station Management Plan was that by 2010, five out of the six, existing and proposed, Metrolink stations are forecasted to have parking deficits. Staff recommended that this new Ad Hoc Committee address the development of the following policy issues for subsequent consideration for adoption by the Commission: 000035 • Recommend a policy approach for future station development; • The development of guidelines to support TOD's or "Transit Villages" at the stations to help offset the financial costs associated with expanded parking Tots, • Perform cost benefit analysis of Pierce Street vs. additional investments in Riverside -La Sierra; • Pursue changing the temporary parking lot and crew facility at Riverside - Downtown to a permanent facility; • Pursue a parking expansion plan with recommendations for funding and phasing; • Explore ways to increase bus transit connections at all of the Metrolink stations for weekday and weekend service and the corresponding funding source; and • Explore ways to identify a dedicated revenue source to sustain rail operations. In conjunction with direction from both the Commission and the newly formed Ad Hoc Committee, staff is currently negotiating with several entities for the possible expansion of existing and proposed parking for Metrolink Commuter Rail stations. At its September 10, 2001 meeting, the Commission authorized staff to advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP), for a Consultant to provide Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Services to develop and implement a Parking Lot Expansion Plan. The proposed calendar of events were as follows: Advertise Request for Proposals September 12, 2001 Request for Proposals Submittal Deadline October 4, 2001 Shortlist top qualified firms October 10, 2001 Interview top qualified firms October 18, 2001 Recommendation back to Committee October 29, 2001 Committee Recommendation to Commission November 14, 2001 Anticipated Contract Award and Notice to Proceed December 3, 2001 0000313 • • • • • • On October 4, 2001, RCTC received one proposal from Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., based in San Bernardino, CA., in response to RCTC's Metrolink Parking Lot Expansion Plan RFP. It is RCTC's usual desire to have at least three proposals, from prospective consultants or contractors, for all services that require the expenditure of funds greater than $1,000. Staff immediately contacted a sampling of consultants who had previously shown an interest in responding to the RFP but did not submit a proposal. Five prospective consultant firms were contacted and all had different reasons for not responding, During this same time period, staff made a review of the Engineering Resources proposal and concluded that the Engineering Resource Team was a very qualified and competent team, and had all the relevant experience as required by the RFP. Because; (1) there is an immediate need to provide engineering support for the current ongoing negotiations, with several entities, for the possible expansion of existing Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations Parking Facilities, and (2) because the one proposal submitted by the Engineering Resources Team was qualified and had the relevant experience to accomplish the work, staff is recommending that the Commission concur with staff's recommendation to select Engineering Resources of Southern California, Inc., to provide Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Services to develop and implement a Parking Lot Expansion Plan for Metrolink Stations in Riverside County. Staff has concluded its negotiations with Engineering Resources and is in concurrence with the attached scope of work and cost of services for a Base amount of $196,295 with a 20% Extra Work Contingency of $38,705.00 for a total amount of $235,000 to provide Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Services, for development and implementation a Parking Lot Expansion Plan. Staff will use the standard agreement format, pursuant to Legal Counsel review.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: RCTC's existing Metrolink stations: Riverside -Downtown, Pedley, Riverside -La Sierra and West Corona, are referred to as the Tier I stations, that were necessary for the beginning levels of commuter rail service on both the Riverside Line to Los Angeles and the inland Empire/Orange County Line. The second phase of Riverside County stations, referred to as the Tier II stations, has been envisioned as necessary to accommodate future growth on the existing commuter lines, caused in a major part by, the inception of Metrolink service through Corona and Fullerton to Los Angeles. A Tier II Station Study was requested by the Commission, prepared By Carl Schiermeyer Consulting Services, completed and presented to the Commission at the April 1999 Commission Meeting. The conclusions of the study recommended that two additional Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations be constructed, one in Riverside at Van Buren Blvd. and Route 91, and one in Downtown Corona, near Main Street and Route 91. 000043 At the April 14, 1999 Commission meeting, the Commission approved the Tier II Station Analysis and Recommendations Report. The Commission also directed staff to prepare and advertise a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Preliminary Engineering, Environmental Clearance, and Final Design Services, for each of the two new proposed Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations. At the November 10, 1999 Commission meeting, the Commission awarded Contract No. RO-2027 to Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall (DMJM), for the Phase I Conceptual Studies, for the proposed new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station. DMJM worked cooperatively with RCTC, Caltrans, BNSF, SCRRA, and the City of Corona, to develop of a master plan for the new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station. At the December 13, 2000 Commission meeting, the Commission concurred with the proposed master plan for the new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station and awarded Amendment #1 to Contract No. RO-2027 to DMJM, for Final Design of the proposed new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station. For the past 1-1/2 years, DMJM has been working cooperatively with BNSF to ascertain exactly what modifications were required to the existing BNSF rail facilities, in order to obtain BNSF's approval of, and accommodate the construction of, the proposed new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station. BNSF has agreed to the proposed new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station under the conditions as set forth in the attached Station Agreement #02-33-030. The highlights of the agreement are as follows: 1. RCTC will fund all costs associated with the relocation of the existing Locomotive Storage Facility to the Porphyry "Y" 2. RCTC will fund all costs associated with the relocation of the existing track and the rework of existing grade crossings and signals to accommodate the construction of the proposed new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station. The total estimated costs for the required rail improvements to accommodate the proposed new Downtown Corona Metrolink Station is $5,200,000. Staff and Legal Counsel have reviewed the Station Agreement and are in general concurrence with the major points of the agreement. The remaining RCTC Legal Counsel comments are handwritten on the attached agreement for your information. The current schedule to start operation of a new Metrolink service from Riverside through Fullerton to Los Angeles is set for August of 2002. The Corona Main Metrolink Station must be substantially completed by that date to accommodate the projected service start-up. 000050 Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Y Year: FY 01 / 02 Amount: $ 5,200,000 Source of Funds: STIP Budget Adjustment: GLA No.: 221 33 81 101 • • Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 10/22/01 Attachment 000051 44414 44 [September 13], 2001 Draft • • • AGREEMENT FOR PASSENGER STATION AND PEDESTRIAN 4034ERCROSSA4C4 [OVERHEAD CROSSING] IMPROVEMENTS BNSF Secy.

The FSP program is funded by the State of California (80%) and local SAFE fees (20%). The program operates Monday through Friday during peak commute hours, 5:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Annually, the program provides approximately 25,700 assists to stranded motorist along Riverside county freeways. The program's day-to-day field supervision is handled by the California Highway Patrol. The attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the California Department of Transportation, the California Highway Patrol and Riverside County Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies constitutes an operational guide to the obligations, responsibilities, and goals of the parties involved. It is not intended to authorize funding, nor is it a legally binding contract. 000073 A similar MOU was approved by the Commission at its September 9, 1992 meeting. The new revised MOU more accurately reflects the roles and responsibilities of the parties as they presently exist (e.g. CHP, not Caltrans, is responsible for dispatching FSP vehicles and auditing contractors' monthly invoices). Attachment 000071 • • • • • • DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL and RIVERSIDE COUNTY SERVICE AUTHORITY FOR FREEWAY EMERGENCIES MEMORANDUM. OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING OPERATION OF A FREEWAY SERVICE PATROL PROGRAM This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into this 1S` day of October 2001, by and between the State of California, as represented by and through the Department of Transportation (hereinafter Caltrans), and the California Highway Patrol (hereinafter CHP), and the Riverside County Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (hereinafter RC SAFE). GENERAL This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pertains to the operation of a Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program in the Riverside County area as related to the State of California's congestion management strategies. FSP will assist in transportation system management efforts, provide traffic congestion relief, reduce traffic accidents and expedite the removal of freeway impediments, all of which will have the added benefit of improving air quality. The FSP activities shall be integrated with the existing incident and traffic management operations to maximize public benefit. Section 2401 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) states that the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol shall make adequate provisions for patrol of the highway at all times of the day and night. This section is interpreted to mean that the Commissioner is given broad discretion in determining the means of providing adequate patrol, including the use of FSP vehicles. Section 21718(a)(7) of the CVC is a provision which specifically allows the CHP to be responsible for FSPs stopping on freeways for the purpose of rapid removal of impediments to traffic. Article 3, Section 90, of the Street and Highway Code, states that Caltrans shall have possession and control of all state highways. Article 3, Section 91, of the Street and Highways Code, states that Caltrans has the responsibility to improve and maintain the state highways. Caltrans also has the responsibility for traffic system management and removing impediments from the highways. 1 00007h Article 3, Section 92, of the Streets and Highways Code, states that Caltrans may do any act necessary, convenient or proper for the construction, improvement; maintenance, or use of all highways which are under its jurisdiction, possession, or control. Together, the CHP and Caltrans have agreed to operate jointly Transportation Management Centers (TMC) and FSP programs to improve the efficiency of the transportation system and to expedite the removal of vehicles that are stranded or disabled on urban freeways. RC SAFE and Caltrans have entered into a fund transfer agreement which includes provision for the transfer of funds to RC SAFE to help fund the FSP contracts. This MOU constitutes an operational guide to the obligations, responsibilities, and goals of the parties involved. It is not intended to authorize funding, nor is it a legally binding contract. Funding commitments are covered by the above referenced fund transfer agreement. I. CALTRANS RESPONSIBILITIES: A. Caltrans shall provide a portion of funding for the Riverside County FSP program, as provided in the Caltrans/RC SAFE fund transfer agreement, and the resources needed by the CHP to carry out CHP responsibilities.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Riverside County Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program operates one of its five beats on a segment of SR -91, between Magnolia Avenue and the SR -60/91/I-215 interchange with three roving tow trucks during the morning and afternoon commute hours. The FSP program is funded by the State of California (80%) and local SAFE fees (20%). The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will be constructing Auxiliary Lanes and upgrading the Fiber Optic System at selected locations through downtown Riverside from Magnolia Avenue to Brockton Avenue on SR -91. It is Caltrans' desire to implement a construction freeway service patrol during the construction period to assist in transportation system management efforts, provide traffic congestion relief and expedite the removal of freeway impediments, all of which will have the added benefit of reducing accidents and improving air quality in the construction zone. Furthermore, Caltrans would prefer to use the existing RCTC FSP contractor to not only better coordinate service but also eliminate any duplication of service and/or problems that could arise if there were two different operators. The existing contractor, Hamner Towing, has agreed to perform the service at their current hourly rate of $42.50 per truck per hour. 000084 The attached agreement provides for State funding for the construction period estimated to begin in December 2001 and terminating upon completion of the project, on June 30, 2005, in the amount of $ 100,000.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Planning and Conservation League earlier this year sponsored two pieces of legislation to transfer the State's share of sales tax on new and used car sales, generating an estimated $2.7 billion to a new transportation account that would then be distributed into 16 different categories. Neither bill made it out of the first committee so the PCL has opted to proceed with an initiative tentatively scheduled for the November 2002 ballot. The attached discussion document details the initiative and how it potentially impacts the Inland Empire transportation agencies. Attachment • • Discussion Document Planning and Conservation League Traffic Congestion Relief Act Initiative RCTC/SAN BAG The Traffic Congestion Relief Act (TCRA) sponsored by the Planning and Conservation League (PCL), is a statewide initiative that is tentatively scheduled for the November 2002 General Election. According to PCL briefing material for the TCRA, the TCRA allocates 30% of the State's share of the sales tax on motor vehicles (cars and trucks), approximately $870 million, to "transportation improvements." The TCRA distributes the revenues on a percentage basis to 14 "transportation" project categories. It is important to note that PCL has modified the TCRA on several occasions. Initially, the TCRA allocated the State's entire share of the sales tax on motor vehicle sales and leases and sales tax on gasoline totaling nearly $4 billion to 16 categories. The first revision of the TCRA maintained the 16 categories but called for "off the top" funding for a number of high priority projects. With the State Legislature passing a Constitutional Amendment to be considered by the California voters to dedicate the sales tax on gasoline to transportation, PCL dropped that element from the latest revision to the TCRA, which, based on current sales tax on motor vehicle fuel revenue estimates should reduce the total amount available from the sale and lease of vehicles to approximately $2.9 billion. Also, PCL reduced the sales tax on motor vehicles to 30% of the State's share, leaving approximately $870 million (according to PCL briefing material) available for the remaining 14 categories and kept many of the high priority projects, albeit at far lesser allocations. Another revision was released on the PCL website on September 18, 2001 that includes a change in one of the 14 categories and the elimination of several "off the top" high priority projects. Furthermore, it has been speculated that a contributing factor to the reduction to 30% of the State's share of the sales tax is because of what special interests, including local government, public employee unions, law enforcement, among others, thought would be an extreme impact on the State General Fund. The concern being that in spite in the inclusion of intent language within the TCRA that no interest group should be negatively impact should the measure pass, any loss in state revenues would need to be recovered at some point and that recovery may come at the future expense of any one of the above mentioned interests. This concern is reduced commensurately with the reduction to 30% of the State's share of motor vehicle sales tax revenue but does not go away entirely as the State has a history of balancing the State budget at the expense of local government. Additionally, PCL has crafted the TCRA so that when the State's General Fund revenue does not grow adequately to cover the cost of the TCRA program, the allocations to the categories are suspended. Theoretically, this clause was included to protect local government, education, law enforcement, among other interests from experiencing reductions in order to keep the TCRA whole. However, this requirement may prove to be problematic, particularly for large multi -year construction projects or on -going programs that require an annual allocation in order to continue construction or operate transit services. Finally, while the title of the initiative is the Traffic Congestion Relief Act, even a liberal interpretation of the measure's 14 expenditure categories, shows that only 60% of the 000093 $870 million in revenues may be used for traffic congestion relief while the remaining 40% must be used for environmental or safety purposes or for special public transit. If you consider highway improvements specifically the number drops to only 24% of the total expenditures. It is not that the non -traffic congestion relief categories are not important, but by calling the measure the Traffic Congestion Relief Act a voter might assume that the entire $870 million is to be dedicated to traffic congestion relief. As a comparison, if the $870 million were distributed on the 40% STIP, 20% city, 20% county, 20% PTA; formula as prescribed in ACA 4, the sales tax on gasoline constitutional amendment, Riverside and San Bernardino counties would receive an estimated $7.3 million and 7.9 million annually, respectively, for local streets and roads. Riverside County cities and San Bernardino County cities would receive an estimated $5.7 million and $7.3 million annually respectively for city streets and roads. RCTC and SANBAG, as the transportation programming agencies could anticipate $13 million and 15.6 million annually in added programming capacity. Cumulatively, under the 40%, 20%, 20%, 20% formula, each county would receive in excess of $25 million annually. The following is a summary of the 14 categories and the funding that may be received by San Bernardino County and Riverside County jurisdictions. Congestion Bottlenecks: 16% - $139 million/year - This funds road or public transit improvement projects in urban areas that increase the flow of traffic along existing roads with priority going to projects that were included in the Traffic Congestion Relief Program as part of AB 2928. After taking funding off the top for several "priority" projects, the California Transportation Commission is responsible for granting the balance of the funds and must comply with existing law of allocating 60% of the funds to southern California and 40% to northern California. The TCRA does not include a requirement to ensure that counties receive a "county minimum" as is the case in the State Transportation Improvement Program process, so to assume that each County will receive its' fair share is not accurate. Due to population density requirements included in this section of the TCRA, all cities in the San Bernardino County high desert, and the City of Big Bear, are not eligible recipients of these funds as is the case for 4 western Riverside County and 6 CVAG cities. Transit Operations: 16% - $139 million/year - This category dedicates a substantial revenue source to all forms of public transit. This can include operations costs for bus service, light rail, commuter rail, and funds needed to maintain and rehabilitate transit equipment and facilities. These funds are distributed consistent with current Public Transportation Account methodology that dictates 50% of the revenues go to the state for transit programs, such as Inter -city rail and transportation planning and the other 50% to transit operators based on population and revenue miles. Riverside County operators and San Bernardino County operators could anticipate receiving $1.8 million and $2 million respectively. Transit Capital: 21% - $183 million/year - This money can be used to make station improvements, increase access for cyclists, pedestrians, and the disabled to bus stations and lines, as well as buy buses, train sets, rail cars, construct new rail lines, improve existing lines, make seismic retrofit repairs, make track and signal improvements, and purchase rail rights of way. 000094 The California Transportation Commission allocates funding based on a cost- effectiveness criteria to be adopted by the CTC and consistent with 60/40 south -north split. The TCRA lists several high priority projects that receive funding off the top including 3 northern California projects receiving a total of $20 million for the first several years of the program leaving approximately $160 million to be split 60/40 with no county minimum guarantees. Seniors and Disabled/Dial-a-Ride: 3% - $26 million/year - This is a major expansion of operating and capital funding for the transit -dependent and other individuals. The program could fund several types of services, including dial -a -ride, dedicated service, jitneys, and more. It would enhance mobility and access for California's elderly population. PCL is currently considering a population based formula that allocates these funds to regional transportation planning agencies that are then used to fund claims from transit operators for qualifying services. The allocations to RCTC and SANBAG are estimated at $1 million to each agency. Rail/street Grade Separations: 3% - $26 million/year - This program provides money to expand the state's significantly under funded grade separations programs. Grade separations improve traffic flow, freight flow, passenger rail, and air quality, and reduce noise. High priority projects receive $15 million for the first four years of the program with the balance of funds being allocated to the Public Utility Commission to fund grade separation projects on a PUC priority list. There is no south/north split requirement. Grade separation construction projects range from $15 million to in excess of $30 million. RCTC and SANBAG have identified an estimated $1 billion in grade separation needs. Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation: 10% - $87 million/year - This fund mitigates the impact of transportation systems on the environment. It can fund the acquisition and creation of a wildlife corridor and related trail systems to mitigate for transportation's effects on wildlife migration. Eligible projects also include the preservation of land, pedestrian, bicycle, and wildlife crossings, flood control improvements relating to transportation facilities, and landscaping, forestation and recreational improvements to public park lands near major transportation corridors. This funding is allocated to the State Resources Agency to award grants to public entities and non-profit organization to undertake environmental enhancement and mitigation activities. Riverside County is the recipient of one of this section's high priority projects in the amount of $2 million/year for 19 years for implementation of the Riverside County Integrated Plan. High priority projects receive $22.5 million annually for the first 10 years of the program leaving $64.5 million to split on the 60/40 south -north split. There is no county minimum requirement. Water Quality Transportation Enhancements: 2% - $17 million /year - This mitigation fund is specific to the effect that transportation systems have on water quality. The funds in this account are allocated to the State Water Resources Control Board for capital outlay projects and grants. There is no south/north split requirement. 000095 Clean Fuel Bus/Heavy Duty Engines: 3% - $26 million/year - This category creates a permanent, ongoing funding source for the Carl Moyer program. Aimed primarily at reducing diesel exhaust, these monies can fund the incremental cost difference between natural gas buses and diesel buses, purchase particulate traps for older diesel trucks and buses, repower truck and bus engines (replacing diesel engines with natural gas engines), and finance the full purchase of natural gas buses. These funds are allocated to the California Air Resources Board and Air Quality Management Districts to fund grants as part of the Carl Moyer program. Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure and Safety: 4% - $35 million/year - This fund provides infrastructure money for bicycle and pedestrian projects, including bike lanes, pedestrian and bike paths, and signals. It provides money to law enforcement to enforce speed limits and pedestrian safety laws in heavily used pedestrian and bike routes. This money can also be used for paratransit needs at school bus stops. (3 separate programs: bikes, pedestrians, enforcement). Of the $35 million, 75% or $26 million is allocated to Regional Transportation Planning Agencies on a per capita basis to be used for bicycle and pedestrian projects. The Riverside County Transportation Commission would receive $1.17 million and the San Bernardino Associated Governments would receive $ 1.3 million annually. The remaining 25% or $9 million is allocated to the Office of Criminal Justice Planning for grants to law enforcement agencies for increased speed limit enforcement along heavily used bicycle and pedestrian routes. This section includes a 60/40 south -north split but no county minimum requirement. Intercity Rail Capital and Operations: 4% - $35 million/year - This money can go toward the operation of intercity and commuter rail service, such as the San Diegan, San Joaquin, ACE train, the Capitol Corridor program, Metrolink, the Coaster, and Caltrain. It can acquire rolling stock, construct new rail lines, and improve existing lines to benefit passenger rail service. Placing the intercity rail projects in their own category means that bus and light rail projects will be more competitive in the transit capital and transit operations categories. Riverside County, specifically the Coachella Valley, is the beneficiary of the single high - priority project designated for funding in this section of the TCRA, a seven-year allocation of $15 million annually for a total of $105 million to implement intercity rail service from Los Angeles to Indio. These funds must first be expended on passenger station construction at two locations in the Coachella Valley with a combined estimated price tag of $15 million, then two 5-car/1-locamotive train sets at an estimated cost of $36 million, and finally track and signal improvements stretching from Los Angeles to Indio. The likelihood is that the allocation will suffice for 2/3rds of the capital cost associated with starting this service but there is no other source of funding identified for the balance of capital costs nor is there a certainty of operating funds being available due to competition from the San Diegan and Capitol Corridor inter -city services which would have priority pursuant to the TCRA because these corridors parallel far more congested highway corridors. The TCRA requires that this section be split 40%, or $14 million, for commuter rail service and 60% or $ 21 million for inter -city service. 00009E Rural Public Transit: 2% - $17 million/year - This fund provides services for the transit - dependent that live in rural areas. Dial -a -ride, dedicated service, and jitney service could be funded here in order to meet the needs of persons with disabilities and other health problems, seniors, students, and persons with low incomes who do not drive motor vehicles. It can also fund bus and other transit services for those without transit dependency. Riverside County and San Bernardino County do not qualify under this program as -the TCRA cites State statute that specifically identifies the rural counties that are eligible to receive this funding and Riverside and San Bernardino are not among them. Transit -Oriented Development Incentives: 3% - $26 million/year This category will support mixed use development within 1/3 of a mile of transit hubs, including affordable housing, office space, retail that shares parking with the transit station, day care centers, and libraries. The Secretary of the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency allocates this funding to Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPA) with populations in excess of 1,000,000 and densities of 1000 persons per square mile. One interpretation of the TCRA is that an RTPA must pass both of these tests to receive an allocation. If that is the case, and the Southern California Association of Governments being the RTPA for the six -county southern California region that has a population density of approximately 450 persons per square mile, the SCAG region does not qualify to receive these funds and thus could not award funds to Riverside or San Bernardino County jurisdictions. If one or the other test is met, specifically the 1 million population, local jurisdictions within the two counties would be eligible for grants to fund capitol outlay projects to develop public use facilities associated with rail and bus transit stations. Traffic Safety Improvements: 5% - $44 million/year — This section provides funding to the California Transportation Commission for allocation to projects which improve highway safety and is to be allocated strictly on the basis of the potential of the project to reduce motorist, bicyclist, and pedestrian fatalities and injuries. The Office of Traffic Safety and CALTRANS shall advise the CTC on the development of this program. This section replaces the Native American Road Safety program that was included in prior versions of the TCRA. School Bus Replacement: 8% - $70 million/year - This program replaces unsafe and highly polluting school buses, and provides funds so that school districts can provide safe student transportation, reducing the need for parents to drive their children to and from school, thus reducing congestion. These funds are allocated to the State Department of Education for a competitive grant program to replace old, polluting school buses. There is no south -north split requirement nor is there a requirement that these funds only be allocated to local school districts in severe air -quality non -attainment areas although presumably the California Air Resources Board would recommend this as one criteria for receiving these funds. 000097 AGENDA ITEfrI 16 • • RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTA TION COMMISSION DATE: October 29, 2001 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Darren Kettle, Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is to seek Committee approval to: 1) Receive and File the State and Federal Legislative Update as an information item; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update The last day for the Governor to act on bills presented to him by the Legislature was October 14, 2001. As was reported at the September Budget and Implementation Committee and Commission meetings, the significant transportation measures, specifically ACA 4, were concluded earlier in the year and were not subject to the annual "11' hour" onslaught of bills being considered by the Legislature. The Governor received several hundred bills from the Legislature during the last week of the session. Staff will verbally report on actions on bills as necessary. Federal Update As the federal government begins the 2001-02 fiscal year, Congress is keeping the government operating by passing a series of Continuing Resolutions that fund federal government agencies at prior year levels. The Transportation Appropriations bill is still pending consideration by the House/Senate Conference Committee with no schedule set for convening the committee and the Senate not yet appointing conferees. Staff will provide a verbal report should the Conference Committee convene and conclude deliberations prior to the Budget and Implementation Committee meeting.
