AGENDA ITEM 6
Agenda Item 6
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: March 11, 2024
TO: Citizens and Specialized Transit Advisory Committee
FROM: Eric DeHate, Transit Manager
SUBJECT: Measure A Specialized Transit Presentation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to receive and file presentations from Measure A Specialized
Recipients, the Friends of Moreno Valley and Michelle’s Place.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plan allocates approximately 11.6 percent of the annual
revenues from the 2009 Measure A Western County program to public transit. The public transit
allocation is then distributed among five programs, namely: specialized transit services,
specialized transit-consolidated transportation service agency operations, commuter rail,
intercity bus, and commuter services. The Measure A Specialized Transit Program receives about
1.9 percent of the 2009 Measure A Western County program revenues, or a 16.4 percent share
of the 11.6 percent for public transit. The program provides funding to benefit older adults,
persons with disabilities, and/or those that are most vulnerable and truly needy in Western
County. In Western County, this funding has been distributed through a competitive process to
a wide array of non-profit and community organizations that serve these constituencies for
specialized transit services for persons with disabilities and older adults.
The goals of the Measure A Specialized Transit Program for western Riverside County are to:
•Support directly operated services that expand or extend existing services, which, if not
funded by Measure A funds, would leave an area and/or special population without
alternate service options;
•Support existing services that offer an improved level of service coordination with the
existing transportation network;
•Expand new services that leverage other revenue sources, can be administered in a cost-
effective manner, and will not require long-term support from Measure A funding; and
•Support new and expansion of existing services including transportation for veterans and
shuttles including, but not limited to, nutrition and medical services.
Projects that are eligible under the program include operating and capital projects such as senior
transportation shuttles, non-emergency medical transportation services, bus pass/voucher
4
Agenda Item 6
programs, mileage reimbursement programs, travel training, vehicle and maintenance
equipment, communications and dispatch equipment, and mobility management.
Providing funding to non-profit providers of transit services for persons with disabilities, low
income, and senior citizens has long been a priority of the Commission. The voter-approved 1989
and 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plans specify funding allocations for the provision of this type
of service provided by transit operators and non-profit agencies.
A Call for Projects is held triennially, and the last Call for Projects was held in spring 2021 for
funding for Fiscal Years (FY) 2021/22 – 2023/24. The Commission awarded $9,101,257 to
16 agencies for 19 operational and capital projects, as summarized in Attachment 1.
As part of the Specialized Transit program each cycle, RCTC creates a brochure and distributes it
countywide (Attachment 2). As part of the distribution, brochures are sent to Measure A award
recipients, senior centers, libraries, Community Centers, Cities, colleges, and Riverside County
bus operators. For this cycle, RCTC distributed approximately 12,000 brochures. This includes
6,000 in English and 6,000 in Spanish.
DISCUSSION:
The CSTAC plays an important role in strengthening the public and specialized transit network by
offering a platform for specialized transit providers to share information and promote various
transportation services. Staff has invited Measure A recipients to provide presentations to the
CSTAC to highlight their programs and projects and receive any input on how their services can
be improved and expanded in the future.
Presentations from the Friends of Moreno Valley (FOMV) and Michelle’s Place will be given.
FOMV has been in the Measure A Specialized Transit Program for over 15 years. In FY 2022/23,
the FOMV supported 6,208 one-way passenger trips. The cost for this program in FY 2022/23
was $215,906. Michelle’s Place has been in the Measure A Specialized Transit Program for over
6 years. In FY 2022/23, Michelle’s Place -MC provided 276 one-way passenger trips with a cost
of $18,574.

Organizational History
•9/21/84 Six community members formed a Committee to study
and introduce the possibility of establishing a Senior Center.
•2/11/85 Friends of Moreno Valley Senior Center, Inc. (FMVSCI)
was established and elected its first Board of Directors.
•2/23/85 FMVSCI was incorporated as a nonprofit 501c3 and on
10/1/85, FRIENDS held its first annual meeting.
•12/4/89 After 3 years of fundraising, soliciting donations, and an
application to Cal Trans, FMVSCI launched the “MoVan Senior
Transportation Program” which continues today.
12
What is the MoVan?
•Today, the MoVan exists as a 12 passenger plus 2 wheelchair capacity bus
which provides curb-to-curb transit service for Moreno Valley residents.
•Eligibility: Age 60 years of age or older OR
Adults who are physically disabled, not requiring assistance
or able to bring an escort.
•Purpose: Provides a safe and convenient form of transportation service
within a 20-mile radius of the main location, Moreno Valley Senior Center,
where most of the passengers go, Monday through Friday. The use of
MoVan helps promote independent living, a renewed sense of freedom,
peace of mind and less dependency on family members to transport them.
13
MoVan Project
•In addition to the passengers receiving the services provided at the Senior Center which improves their quality of life, the MoVanprovides transportation to medical appointments, shopping, banking, and food distribution pick-ups-i.e. Salvation Army.
•The use of the MoVan has expanded to providing later transports home after social events at the Senior Center and Moreno Valley Amphitheater which occur after 5pm -Black History Month, Cinco de Mayo, Christmas activities and much more.

AGENDA ITEM 7
Agenda Item 7
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: March 11, 2024
TO: Citizens and Specialized Transit Advisory Committee – Special Meeting
FROM: Monica Morales, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Fiscal Years 2024/25 – 2026/27 Measure A Specialized Transit Call for Projects
Release
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to receive and file the Measure A Specialized Transit Call for
Projects Release Fiscal Years 2024/25 – 2026/27 for Western Riverside County (Western County).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plan allocates approximately 11.6 percent of the annual
revenues from the 2009 Measure A Western County program to public transit. The public transit
allocation is then distributed among five programs, namely: specialized transit services,
specialized transit-consolidated transportation service agency operations, commuter rail,
intercity bus, and commuter services. The Measure A Specialized Transit Program receives about
1.9 percent of the 11.6 percent for public transit. The program provides funding to benefit older
adults, persons with disabilities, and/or those that are most vulnerable and truly needy in
Western County. In Western County, this funding has been distributed through a competitive
process to a wide array of non-profit and community organizations that serve these
constituencies for specialized transit services for persons with disabilities and older adults.
The goals of the Measure A Specialized Transit Program for Western County are to:
• Support directly operated services that expand or extend existing services, which, if not
funded by Measure A funds, would leave an area and/or special population without
alternate service options;
• Support existing services that offer an improved level of service coordination with the
existing transportation network;
• Expand new services that leverage other revenue sources, can be administered in a cost-
effective manner, and will not require long-term support from Measure A funding; and
• Support new and expansion of existing services including transportation for veterans and
shuttles including, but not limited to, nutrition and medical services.
Projects that are eligible under the program include operating and capital projects such as senior
transportation shuttles, non-emergency medical transportation services, bus pass/voucher
24
Agenda Item 7
programs, mileage reimbursement programs, travel training, vehicle and maintenance
equipment, communications and dispatch equipment, and mobility management.
In the Coachella Valley, the 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plan allocates 15 percent for public
transit. This funding is allocated directly to SunLine Transit Agency and is excluded from the Call
for Projects. Currently, Measure A is utilized by SunLine to improve and expand public transit
and specialized transportation services.
DISCUSSION:
On February 14, 2024, the Commission approved the release of FYs 2024/25 – 2026/27 Measure
A Specialized Transit Call for Projects with total available funding of $13,127,000 for Western
County. The last Call for Projects provided over $9.1 million to 16 recipients, and these funding
contracts will end June 30, 2024.
Staff anticipates strong competition for the available funds as prior calls for projects have been
oversubscribed. The Commission approved minor revisions to the program guidelines as
summarized in Table 1. The purpose of these changes is to improve the delivery of services, such
as cost effectiveness, equitable distribution, and needs and priorities based on the 2021 Public-
Human Services Coordinated Plan.
Table 1. Summary of Revisions for Measure A Specialized Transit Program Guidelines
Area/Criteria Current Proposed Revision
Matching Funds 34% match for operating
50% match for capital
Allow flexibility for transportation-
only programs to receive a lower
match requirement for operating

used for fixed-route and
public demand response
services.
Voucher programs can only be used
for fixed-route services for regional
programs.

explanation is required for
organizations that are not
transportation-only focused.

organization that has a core mission
or service other than

Agenda Item 7
one application and scored
based on narrative.
quantitative scoring criteria for
replacement vehicles based on age
and mileage.
Grant Reporting Grant Reporting section
describes monthly reporting,
meetings, planning processes
and auditing, and
compliance.
Moved Grant Reporting section to
new section “Post Award Guidance”
and added more details on
invoicing, reporting, and budget
modification requirements.
As with prior Calls for Projects, applicants will need to indicate how their proposed project will
coordinate trips and/or services with existing transportation providers including public and non-
profit agencies. Projects should not duplicate existing services currently provided by public
transit operators.
Applications for the FYs 2024/25 – 2026/27 Call for Projects are due March 14, 2024. The Call for
Project documents are posted on the Commission’s website at: https://www.rctc.org/doing-
business/#callforprojects. An application workshop was held on February 20, 2024, to review
the application process, scoring criteria, and program evaluation. The evaluation and selection
of applications will be completed in April 2024, with the recommendations for funding awards to
successful applicants will be presented to the Commission for approval at its May 2024 meeting.
Funding coverage will commence on July 1, 2024, and the grant cycle will conclude on
June 30, 2027.

Cada paso hacia adelante ha sido una reflexión de aportaciones recibidas por las comunidades del Condado de Riverside. Sus voces continuarán ayudando a RCTC a desarrollar y compartir el sistema de transporte interconectado y multimodal que se necesita para prosperar.
