MEDIAN BARRIERS ON INTERSTATES 15 AND 215 A presentation was made by Commissioner Stan Lisiewicz showing the median barrier projects under construction in Riverside County. Two gaps remain - one in the Murrieta/Temecula area (approximately 8.8 mile gap north of the 21 5/1 5 split and another shorter gap around the Sun City area. The reason for the gaps is that they do not presently meet the criteria for installation of a median barrier. The present criteria for installation of median barrier on a divided freeway is that the median width must be less than 75 feet and the average daily traffic must more than 20,000. An additional criteria is that a median barrier must meet the number of accidents (3) that could be prevented by a median barrier within five years. However, they are currently working with Caltrans Headquarters to get the two gaps qualified. He noted that the area must meet the standards for median barrier to alleviate liability problems that may arose. In response to Commissioner Bob Buster asked if there was a way that the Commission could assist and if there were any consideration when there are differences in average speed limits between the highways, Commissioner Lisiewicz responded that Caltrans staff is working with Headquarters. As such, if the sections qualify as a safety projects, it will be funded. He added that Caltrans District 8 has and continues to allocate available funds ($25 million) for median barrier projects. With regards to the speed limits, the standards are based on the speed limits with the area. 13. ITEMS PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR AGENDA No items were pulled from the Consent Calendar agenda.. 14.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Transportation Enhancement Activities Program (TEA) provides federal funds for transportation related projects that enhance quality of life, in or around transportation facilities. Projects must be over and above required mitigation and must be directly related to the transportation system. The TEA Program apportionments parallel the state -local split called for in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) with the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies having responsibility for programming 75 % of the total share of funds available to the state. Approximately $13,404,000 in TEA funds are estimated to be available in Riverside County through FY 2003/2004. At the Commission's July 1999 meeting, staff was directed to develop and release a Call for Projects to obtain project proposals for this program. The Commission's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was designated as the Evaluation Committee to score the proposals and develop a recommended list of projects for the Commission's consideration. The TAC worked closely with staff to develop selection criteria based on the state- wide TEA criteria. The selection criteria was reviewed by the Caltrans State TEA Coordinator to ensure consistency with state and federal requirements. The Commission approved the use of the selection criteria (Attachment I) at their October 1999 meeting. A total of 39 applications from 23 local agencies were received in response to our Call for Projects requesting a total of $27,070,667 in TEA funds. The TAC convened on December 13, 1999 to evaluate the proposals. All applicants were invited to attend the meeting to observe the evaluation process and answer any questions that might be raised by the TAC. Every application was evaluated using the Commission's approved selection criteria and scoring was done on a consensus basis by the TAC. Twenty-one TAC members were in attendance; members abstained from evaluating their own application. Attachment II presents the recommending funding list. All projects are grouped by score and listed in alphabetical order. In order to fund all projects with a score of 12 and above, the members agreed to a 4.81% reduction in TEA funding for each of the projects. This adjustment provided funding for 24 projects from 19 local agencies. The 4.8% reduction in TEA funding will be covered through an increase in local match or a slight modification to the project. The Commission's intra-county formula was adhered to by the TAC for the recommended distribution of project funds. This distribution is as follows: Total Available through FY 2004 (est.) Discretionary Pot (24.2%) Available for formula allocation: Western County (72.23%) Coachella Valley (26.39%) Palo Verde Valley (1 .38(Y0) Formula Total $13,404,000 $ 3,243,768 $ 10,160,232 $ 7,338,736 $ 2,681,285 $ 140,211 $10,160,232 The recommended funding list allocates the discretionary funds as follows: $1,422,264 (43.8%)for programming in the Western County, $1,765,795 (54.4%) in the Coachella Valley, and $35,789 (1 .1 %) in the Palo Verde Valley. A total of $19,920 (.6%) of the discretionary pot remains available in case of slight variations in apportioned funding levels. Staff concurs with the TAC's recommended funding list as presented.

This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage. Approved and adopted this 12th day of January, 2000. By: Riverside County Transportation Commission Attest: Naty Kopenhaver, Clerk of the Riverside County Transportation Commission RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 12, 2000 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Project Coordinator THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: La Sierra Metrolink Station Temporary Parking Lot BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to advertise the construction bid package for a temporary parking lot adjacent to the existing La Sierra Metrolink Station. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: RCTC adopted the recommendations of the Tier II Station study at the April 1999 Commission meeting. One recommendation was to provide for a temporary parking facility at the La Sierra Metrolink Station because the current parking lot use was running higher than 90%. The need for the temporary parking lot will be eliminated as soon as the Van Buren Metrolink Station is constructed. In November of 1999, the Commission awarded a Contract to Pountney & Associates for the Final Design Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) for a new Metrolink Commuter Rail Station adjacent to the Van Buren/Route 91 intersection. It is anticipated that it will take approximately eighteen months to design and construct the new Van Buren Metrolink Station. This will necessitate a need for the temporary parking lot in the interim period of time, and perhaps longer. The land for the present La Sierra parking lot was leased from Riverside Community College (RCC) in 1994 for 49 years with an option to extend for another 50 years. Additional land would be required for the proposed temporary parking lot. At the September 1999 Commission meeting, the Commission agreed to lease the additional acreage for the temporary parking lot from RCC and authorized staff to proceed with the design of a temporary parking lot. The terms of the lease stipulate that RCTC may lease the land for free but must remove the temporary parking lot improvements prior to June 1, 2001 (90 days after termination of the agreement on February 29, 2001). The design of the temporary parking lot is nearing completion. It is anticipated that RCC, RCTC, and the City of Riverside will approve the temporary parking lot final plans within the next month. The preliminary plans indicate that the temporary parking lot will accommodate approximately 223 addition vehicles with an estimated construction cost of approximately $150,000 to $175,000. It will take approximately two months to construct. Staff recommends that the Commission seek bids at this time. Based on the bid process, staff will, at a future date, seek Commission approval to award a construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff is requesting authorization to release a call for projects for the Western County Measure A Specialized Transit program covering fiscal years 2001 and 2002. The Measure A half -cent sales tax identifies 5% of annual revenues for implementation of Specialized Transportation Programs. The Commission policy apportions 2.5% of these funds for Commuter Assistance programs and the remaining 2.5% for Specialized Transit programs which benefits seniors, persons with disabilities and the truly needy. It is projected that $2.5 million will be available for programming over the two years. Staff is requesting that $2.3 million be used for the two-year call and that $0.2 million be set aside to support matching of Section 5310 federal capital grants for the purchase of equipment and vehicles for the elderly and physically disabled. The Commission has had a long-time commitment to meeting the special transit needs for seniors and persons with disabilities through its specialized transit grant program. In addition to traditional public dial -a -ride services, the Commission has granted funds to non-profit agencies to provide transit assistance in hard to serve rural areas, for inter -community travel, and for riders having very special transit needs. These programs have been very successful over the years in providing improved transit access for Western County riders. Attachment A is a historical listing of Measure A Specialized Transit Program recipients. Staff anticipates strong competition for funds and recommends that the review committee consist of: • One Representative from the Commission; • Two Representatives from the Commission's Citizens' Advisory Committee; and • One Representative from an out of county agency to foster objectivity based on an impartial perspective. It is recommended that the priorities for funding and evaluation of applications be based on the following criteria: 1) Support of existing Measure A funded services which, if unfunded, would leave an area and/or special population without alternate service options; 2) Support of capital match requests (up to 20%) which aid in the purchase of equipment serving seniors and persons with disabilities; 3) Support of existing services which offer an improved level of service coordination and/or high level of individualized passenger assistance; 4) Support of new services which will leverage other revenue sources and will not require long-term support from Measure A (more than the two- year funding cycle); and 5) Support of new or expansion of existing services. As part of the evaluation process, all service requests will be reviewed with respect to their productivity and whether service coordination opportunities exist before a funding commitment is recommended. If approved, Attachment B is the proposed time line for the two-year call for projects.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its December 1999 meeting, the Commission took action to direct staff to enter into contract negotiations with Inland Transportation Services, Inc. (ITS) for management and implementation of RCTC's Commuter Assistance Program. Inland Transportation Services, Inc. was the successful bidder in response to an RCTC request for proposal (RFP) issued for consultant services. The RFP was mailed to 77 consultants throughout the four county region. A pre -bid meeting was held for interested bidders during which the RFP and its requirements were reviewed in detail as well as RCTC's contract requirements and office space/equipment options. Oral questions were responded to as no written questions were received by the deadline. Two bids were submitted in response to the RFP including Inland Transportation Services, Inc. (Rancho Cucamonga) and Sundstrom Rising (Alta Loma). A technical staff panel was convened to rate the proposals including representatives from: ❑ Southern California Rideshare ❑ Caltrans, District #8 ❑ San Bernardino Associated Governments ❑ Riverside County Transportation Commission The technical panel reviewed and rated each proposal based on the established 100 point evaluation criteria as defined in the RFP including: 1.

Responsiveness to the RFP 10 points Each rater submitted individual score sheets for the two proposals and provided written and verbal comments regarding their assessment and overall ranking. All four evaluators rated the two proposals in the same order. The scores were averaged resulting in the following ranking: 1) Inland Transportation Services, Inc., and 2) Sundstrom Rising. Based on the RFP technical ratings and given that Inland Transportations Services, Inc. has, on a consultant basis, professionally managed the Commuter Assistance Program for a number of years, staff is seeking Commission approval to execute an agreement with ITS based on the negotiated labor rates and hours as summarized on Exhibit A to deliver a scope of services which is detailed by project and sets specific performance goals. The Commission's labor and expense costs for the 18 month period total $693,854, averaging $38,547 per month. RCTC's Commuter Assistance Program is primarily funded by Measure A and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality sources although grant funds such as SB 836 or Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) are occasionally acquire for demonstration projects. Funds to support the contract period of January 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000 were approved as part of RCTC's FY 99-00 budget. Funds to support the balance of the 18 month contract from July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001 will be approved as part of the Commission's upcoming budget process. Also included in the consultant agreement will be work to be performed on behalf of San Bernardino Associated Governments who contracts with RCTC to manage and implement their "sister" Commuter Assistance Program as part of the two agencies long standing efforts to deliver coordinated rideshare services to commuters and employers within the Inland Empire.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission has a long-time commitment to meeting the needs of commuters by leasing park and ride spaces. Providing park and ride spaces is an important component to assist commuters in making ridesharing a habit. Caltrans has traditionally been the agency developing and maintaining park and ride lots. However, demand for park and rides sometimes exceeds supply. To bridge the gap, the Commission has leased unused parking areas from property owners. This approach allows us to meet commuters' demands while Caltrans develops permanent facilities. If approved, the Commission's cost to lease the 50 park and ride spaces will be $9,000 annually ($15/space times 50 spaces times 12 months). Caltrans will provide standard liability insurance for the lot as well as all directional signage. There are currently two park and ride lots in Lake Elsinore. Daily usage at these two lots exceeds available paved parking on an on -going basis. Commuters have been parking on the street or in a dirt field adjacent to the designated park and ride lots. To accommodate the need for additional park and ride lots, program staff met with the City of Lake Elsinore to determine the most appropriate location for an additional park and ride site. The site selected is located at the Prime Outlets Mall adjacent to 1-15. The General Manager from Prime Outlets has reviewed the model Park and Ride Lease Agreement and has verbally approved leasing the site to the Commission. The selected area is well lit and secure as Prime Outlets provides 24 hour security service throughout the mall parking area. Attachment A is a map of the proposed site.

PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the continuation of RCTC's contract for security guard services with Group 70 Protective and Investigative Services through June 30, 2000. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In April, 1999, the Commission authorized staff to contract with a new vendor for security services at our four Metrolink stations. We had been dissatisfied with the performance of the two previous companies contracted for system -wide security and had obtained Metrolink's permission to seek a company more responsive to our needs. The current fiscal year budget authorized a full year of service from our new vendor Group 70 Protective Services and Investigations; however, the initial contract was only executed for a period of eight months to allow for a mid-term review. This initial contract expires December 31, 1999. Staff has been exceedingly pleased with Group 70's performance, accessibility, and reporting procedures. Their management personnel act as partners with RCTC and Metrolink in responding to potential safety and security issues at our properties. In addition, our rail passengers and the general public continue to comment on the helpful attitude and professional demeanor of the assigned guards, who are often called upon for Metrolink operating information and ticketing assistance. We believe that Group 70 has fulfilled all expectations during this trial period and recommend the continuation of the contract, as budgeted, through the close of the fiscal year. Pending Commission action of January 12, staff will authorize Group 70's continuation of service through January 31. A proposal for security services for FY2000-01 will be brought forward as part of the RCTC and Metrolink budget process.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION SunLine Transit Agency implemented a program in August 1998 to provide free bus tickets to sitting jurors in the Coachella Valley. The jury summons instructs potential jurors to contact the Jury Commissioner if they need transportation. SunLine provides the tickets to the Jury Commissioner whose staff issues them to needy jurors. In the fifteen months of the program, SunLine has provided 250 bus tickets and the program has been a great success. It provides the much needed transportation and gets people to use the bus while at the same time doing their civic duty. It has been requested that the Commission implement a similar program in Western Riverside County. Staff is proposing to have The Volunteer Center of Riverside County issue the tickets to the Jury Commissioner as part of the Transportation Access Program (TAP). It is estimated that 150 bus tickets would be needed for the balance of FY 1999-2000. The Volunteer Center has informed Commission staff that the tickets could be issued out of their existing supply, so no additional cost would be incurred at this time. Furthermore, staff will meet with the Riverside Transit Agency and the Jury Commissioner to discuss establishing a permanent bus ticket program for jurors in the Western County area, to include possible reimbursement to RCTC from the Jury Commissioner through the jurors' mileage account. RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 12, 2000 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans and Programs Committee Susan Cornelison, Program Manager Stephanie Wiggins, Staff Analyst THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: FY1 999/2000 Beach Train Program PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Commission approve the proposed Beach Train Program for FY 2000/01, consisting of up to seventeen dates between June and October, including the commitment to underwrite costs of service beyond fare revenues. Projected revenues and expenses will be reflected in the FY 01 Budget. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Developed and administered by RCTC in 1996, the Beach Train is a popular program designed to maximize opportunities for public use of the commuter rail system in Riverside County. The seasonal trains operate on various weekends between the months of June and October and provide thousands of Riverside County residents a stress -free alternative to freeway congestion. The popularity of the program continued through the 1999 season. Trains departed from Rialto, San Bernardino, Riverside, La Sierra, and West Corona Metrolink stations headed for San Juan Capistrano, North Beach, San Clemente, and -- this year -- Oceanside. Expansion of the operation during the season resulted in over 10,600 riders, the program's highest patronage since inception. Total patronage over the last four years exceeds 30,000 (over 60,000 one-way trips). Not all costs for the 1999 season are confirmed as yet, but it appears that the 1999 season will result in a subsidy of approximately $1 .83 per trip. As the planning process begins for the fifth season, the goal is to build upon the success of prior years by developing a plan to create a self-sustaining program not requiring public subsidy or day-to-day management by RCTC staff. In order to plan for appropriate staffing and budget resources at Metrolink, and to provide the necessary lead time for promotion, the Commission is being asked to decide at this time if it wishes to proceed with scheduling Beach Trains next summer. Staff is working with Metrolink administration to determine a per train cost cap in order to accurately set fares and service levels with a continued goal of the program meeting a break even point. Though several logistical matters are yet to be determined, staff is confident in recommending a continuation of the program in 2000. The attached report provides an analysis of last season's experience and details recommendations for service for the upcoming year.

The seasonal service provides thousands of Riverside County residents a stress -free alternative to freeway congestion and serves as a positive public relations vehicle for the Commission. The popularity of the program continued through the 1999 season. Trains departed from Rialto, San Bernardino, Riverside, La Sierra, and West Corona Metrolink stations headed for San Juan Capistrano, North Beach, San Clemente, and -- this year — Oceanside. Expansion of the operation during the season resulted in over 10,600 riders, the program's highest patronage since inception. Total patronage over the last four years exceeds 30,000 (over 60,000 one-way trips). As the planning process begins for the fifth season, the goal is to build upon the success of prior years by developing a plan to create a self-sustaining program not requiring public subsidy or day-to-day management by RCTC staff. Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to outline a proposal for a successful Beach Train 2000 program with an emphasis on restructuring RCTC staff involvement in the day-to-day operations. The outline includes the recommended operating, marketing, and staffing plans for the 2000 season. Proposed Mission Statement The Beach Train 2000 will be a self-supporting program that provides Riverside County residents alternative transportation to the beach via the Metrolink IEOC line. The objective is to design a plan that maximizes ridership, requires no public subsidy, does not require active day-to-day management by RCTC staff, and maintains a high level of customer service. Key Recommendations In order to achieve the goal of a self-sustaining program for the 2000 season, two essential recommendations involve the restructuring of staffing and marketing efforts. 1) Hire RCTC Casual Employees to Manage Day -to -Day Operations. Between May and September of the 1999 Beach Train season, RCTC Staff managed the day-to-day operations. The time spent on day-to-day management often resulted in conflicts with policy -related duties and responsibilities. The addition of temporary personnel to manage the day-to-day operations will result in a net gain to the Commission from a decrease in labor costs. 2) Design a Marketing Plan to Focus on Increasing Patronage for the Second Train. The addition of the second train with no targeted marketing plan resulted in substantially poor performance, as compared to the first train. Revenues from the first train exceeded expenses. Although total ridership for the 1999 season exceeds the prior year by 35%, patronage on the second train did not break-even. The first train average load factor of 499 riders per train is 2.9 times greater than the second train average load factor of 172 riders per train. Consequently, the overall average load factor for the season was lower than any previous year.

While often introducing Riverside County residents to Metrolink commuter trains for the first time, the program serves as a public relations opportunity for the Commission. These seasonal trains operate on various weekends between the months of June and October. Since 1996, the Beach Trains have transported over 30,000 riders. As the planning process begins for the fifth season, the goal is to create a self-sustaining operation that requires no public subsidy. Train Operations After three years of operating one beach train, the 1999 program expanded with an additional train and extension of the route to Oceanside. While expansion of the operating plan offered the public more alternatives, the addition of a second train increased overall patronage and the public subsidy. Therefore, the proposal for the 2000 season includes the following modifications to the second train: ♦ Modify the second train schedule to an earlier start time. ♦ Originate from Riverside rather than Rialto due to scheduling conflicts. If in the course of planning the 2000 season, circumstances change and the second train may accommodate service to Rialto without a compromise in service, staff should reconsider this option. ♦ Maintain the key destinations of San Clemente and Oceanside, however, intermediate stops in Orange County will be eliminated, thereby creating two "express" trains. Modifications to the operating schedule for the upcoming year is the first step in improving the performance of the second train. Patronage on the first train has increased every year over the past four years and the addition of the second train brings new opportunities to maximize ridership. Ridership As in the prior year, the 1999 season patronage on the first train did not require a public subsidy. However, the second train did not break-even and as a result, accounted for the entire 1999 deficit of $39,000.

Initial analysis shows that this growth is due to the addition of the second train as ridership on the first train experienced little growth (an increase of only 7% over prior year). Further analysis shows that the increase is more likely "spillover" from the first train. Therefore, the first train is responsible for the entire increase because there was no targeted marketing for the second train. 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 Beach Train Ridership (1996 - 1999) 1996 1997 1998 1999 2nd Train ■ 1st Train RCTC staff made a deliberate decision not to market the second train. The primary reasons were the fear of overcrowding given the unavailability of running two -six car sets on each train date and the ability for passengers to purchase tickets at the stations through the ticket vending machine (TVM). Advance purchase of tickets allow control of how many tickets are purchased, however TVM's allow unlimited purchases regardless of train size. Beach Train 2000 proposes to eliminate the TVM option and return to advance purchase for both trains. Marketing Plan The target market for the Beach Trains are Western Riverside County as well as San Bernardino County residents'. Marketing efforts for the 1999 season occurred chiefly at the beginning of the season. Ads placed in "The Press Enterprise" and "The Sun" ran in July and August, respectively. Although RCTC Staff worked more than 400 hours during the season, they were unavailable to work on any additional marketing efforts once the season began due to conflicts with policy duties. Given the low patronage and lack of targeted marketing of the second train during the 1999 season, the 2000 program seeks to aggressively market the Beach Trains, with a special emphasis on the second train. The San Clemente and Oceanside Chambers of Commerce have already committed to $7,000 for advertising for the upcoming 2000 season. The 2000 program will also continue all partnerships with San Clemente and Oceanside businesses with respect to 1) printing of the tickets and promotional materials in exchange for advertising, 2) business sponsorship of bus shuttle service, 3) and special events. During the 1999 season, ridership was greatest when special events were hosted by the destination city. Consequently, the 2000 season will feature more special event dates to maximize ridership. While second train ridership was low, the addition of the train doubled the capacity. The increase in capacity provides many opportunities to increase patronage. Amplifying the use of marketing tools such as advanced group sales, radio promotions, and public/private partnerships; the 2000 program seeks to increase ridership by 25%. Staffing To initiate Beach Train service in 1996, RCTC Staff needed to be intimately involved in the day-to-day operation. Ridership statistics above are testimony that the attention showed by RCTC staff has resulted in a successful and sustained program over the last four years. It is now evident that the service is no longer in the start-up phase and as such does not require day-to-day management from RCTC staff. Accordingly, the recommendation for next year's program is to restructure RCTC staff involvement. Between May and September of the 1999 Beach Train season, RCTC Staff worked in excess of 400 hours, an average of 20 hours per week, managing the day-to-day operations. These duties involved ticket distribution, liaison with ticketing outlets, handling telephone inquiries, marketing, ambassador duties on train dates, and data entry. Given these tasks are routine in nature, the recommendation is to hire temporary personnel to take over these duties for the 2000 season. Although the addition of temporary personnel increases direct costs to the program, the reallocation of RCTC staff time to policy issues results in a net gain to the Commission. 1 See Appendix A: 1999 Tickets Purchased by County & City The proposed staffing plan for next season, May - October: ♦ Beach Train Coordinator, hired by RCTC as a Casual Employee, manages day-to-day operations: recruit and supervise Ambassadors, market program to employers, liaison to ticketing outlets and revenue collection vendor; initial ticket distribution, oversee data entry for weekly sales reports. Total Hours: 500. ♦ Beach Train Office Support, hired by RCTC as a Casual Employee, handles telephone inquiries, processes mail order tickets, data entry, assist with any other duties. Total Hours: 300 ♦ RCTC Staff would provide limited oversight of the program.

The proposed budget for the 2000 season seeks to eliminate the need for any public subsidy by implementing an aggressive marketing plan and modifying the fare structure. A fare change is likely due to the average cost per ticket paid last year ($11.75 versus actual costs of $15). The low ridership on the second train and the group discount fare structure contributed to the 1999 deficit of $39,000.2 Consequently, upon further discussion with Metrolink on the train costs for 2 See Appendix C: 1999 Income & Expense Statement the 2000 season, RCTC staff will review and modify the fare structure in order to meet projected expenses.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Attached is a report on the Riverside County Call Box System maintenance costs prepared by TeleTran Tek Services, the Commission's call box consultant, for the period of July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The report summarizes cost information for corrective maintenance (basic call box system maintenance), preventive maintenance (site maintenance), and above contract repairs (knockdowns, vandalism, graffiti, etc.), as well as the number of incidents for each category, provided by our maintenance contractor, Comarco Wireless Technologies. Comarco has a ten-year contract which expires in April 2000 to maintain the call boxes as well as install any additional boxes as authorized by the Commission. In fiscal year 1998-99, the Commission incurred $1 16,899 for corrective maintenance, $79,416 for preventive maintenance, and $103,623 for above contract repairs. Staff will begin discussions with Comarco after the first of the year to renegotiate its current maintenance contract. Unfortunately, Comarco is the only company that is currently providing the service, and it maintains the call boxes for all of the existing call box agencies statewide. They recently completed negotiations with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the Bay Area and agreed on a flat fee price of $290 per call box per year. This equates to $333,210 for Riverside County or $33,272 more than the actual costs paid in 1998-99. Staff will return to the Commission in March 2000 seeking formal approval of a maintenance contract with Comarco Wireless Technologies. No major findings were presented in the report. Staff will follow-up with T-3 staff to determine if the call box sites that are repeatedly knocked down should be relocated and with Comarco staff to make certain we are not being charged for boxes that have been permanently removed. July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 Riverside County Transportation Commission Audit of Call Box System Costs July 1, 1998 —June 30, 1999 Introduction This report takes data from the monthly invoices and work orders received from Comarco Wireless Technology and makes a compact and detailed report for the period of July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999. TeleTran Tek Services reviewed copies of invoices and work orders, checked for discrepancies, and entered the data into a database. This database is used to summarize costs, the number of incidents for a specific time period (trends) and any cost saving actions that might be taken. Examples of the latter are relocating a call box that has been knocked down several times and installing graffiti overlays on call box signs in areas repeatedly vandalized. From the database, TeleTranTek builds tables and summaries to show costs and the number of events for: • Preventive Maintenance (site maintenance) • Corrective Maintenance (basic call box system maintenance) • Above Contract costs (categories are not covered by the basic Corrective Maintenance coverage. Based on labor and material costs). • In the Above Contract Cost categories are two categories that do not occur every year, New Installations and Program Area Codes. These costs are totaled after the Above Contract Costs so we can compare the years accurately. Included in this report are tables for: • Preventive Maintenance Costs by month. TeleTran Tek Services July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 • Corrective Maintenance Costs by month. • Summary of Costs and Incidents for July 1, 1998 to June 30. 1999. • Call boxes knocked down more than three times. • Incidents and Costs Totals since January 1995. Definitions of Above Contract Categc: The following is a description of the Above Contract categories: Knockdowns - Call boxes damaged from being struck by vehicles. Vandalism Call box damage by vandals (i.e. gunshots, parts pulled off, damage from being struck). Graffiti - Call boxes that have been spray painted by vandals. Antenna - Call boxes requiring an antenna upgrade or adjustment. Remove/Installs - Call boxes removed for freeway construction or reinstalle after freeway construction is completed. Ants - Infestation of ants that short out circuit boards. Other/Misc. - Fraud — Illegal cloning of the call box phone number. Wind - Call box damage attributed to wind (i.e. sign(s) blown off, ben or not recovered). Site Work - Maintaining site conditions due to erosion and rotting timbers.

BACKGROUND: Staff is recommending the adoption of Resolution No. 00-002, authorizing the acquisition of real property, by eminent domain, described in Exhibit "A", for a project to construct safety improvements consisting of a traffic signal, located at the intersection of Greenwald/Meadowbrook Avenue and Route 74 (the Project), in the County of Riverside. The project will be advertised and constructed by Caltrans. RCTC has agreed to acquire the necessary right-of-way for the signal project because the property required is also required for the Measure "A" highway widening project between 1-15 and 7th Street in the City of Perris. The County of Riverside Real Property Department is acting as right-of-way acquisition agent for the Commission in this acquisition. Two (2) parcels are required for the project. Right-of-way acquisition agents for the County have begun the negotiation process to acquire the required parcels. In the interest of expediting installation of the traffic signal, it may be necessary to acquire some or all of these parcels described in Exhibit "A" by eminent domain. The initiation of the eminent domain process is the adoption of a resolution of necessity. Prior to adopting a resolution of necessity, the Commission must give each person whose property is to be acquired, and whose name and address appears on the last equalized County Tax Assessor's roll, notice and a reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard on: (1) whether the public interest and necessity require the proposed project; (2) whether the proposed project is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; (3) whether the acquisition of the parcels of land are necessary for the project; (4) whether the required offers to acquire the parcels of land have been made. Note: The value of the property is not an issue at the hearing. The notice must be mailed by first class mail and state the intent of the Commission to consider the adoption of the resolution, the right of each person to appear and be heard on these issues, and that the failure to file a written request to appear will result in a waiver of the right to appear and be heard. The Commission must then hold a hearing at which all persons who filed a written request within 15 days of the date the notice was mailed may appear and be heard. The required notice will be mailed to the property owners, identified in Exhibit "A", on December 28, 1999. DISCUSSION The following addresses the four findings that are required for adoption of the resolution of necessity: (1) THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY REQUIRE THE PROPOSED PROJECT With increased traffic volumes over the past several years, safety has become the primary concern at this intersection. A deficient safety record has been documented in reports prepared in support of this project and is addressed in the 1991 Existing Conditions Report, the 1994 Initial Study / Environmental Assessment and the 1999 Route 74 and Meadowbrook Avenue Traffic Signal/Safety Lighting Project Report prepared by Caltrans. During the period from January 1995 through June 1998 there were 20 accidents reported at this intersection. Ten of these accidents were injury accidents. Fourteen were broadside accidents. Broadside accidents are considered correctable with signalization. Furthermore, a Traffic Safety Index of 2408 was calculated in the 1999 Project Report. An index of over 200 justifies the project. A significant amount of public support for this project has been evident at RCTC commission meetings and has resulted in the acceleration of the implementation of the Route 74 widening project from 1-15 in Lake Elsinore to 7th Street in Perris. As a result of this public input, at the September 8, 1999 Commission meeting, the Commission established a sub -committee of Commissioners Gene Bourbonnais, Al Landers, Tom Mullen, and Kevin Pape to expedite improvement to Route 74. The Committee met on September 17, 1999 and reviewed project status for both the Measure "A" State Route 74 improvement project and the various Caltrans SHOPP (State Highway Operations and Protection Program) projects. The meeting was also attended by members of the public that are interested in accelerating improvements to this segment of Highway 74. After consideration of the information presented, the Committee members were unanimous in their desire to recommend to the Commission that it assist Caltrans with delivering the Meadowbrook/Greenwald signal project and have the remainder of the Caltrans SHOPP projects combined with the Measure "A" improvement project within the limits of 1-15 and 7' Street on State Highway 74 with the intent of accelerating the construction of all improvements. At the October 13, 1999 RCTC meeting, the State Route 74 project was accelerated via approval of agenda item #9. (2) THE PROJECT IS PLANNED OR LOCATED IN A MANNER THAT WILL BE MOST COMPATIBLE WITH THE GREATEST PUBLIC GOOD AND THE LEAST PRIVATE INJURY The placement of the traffic signal poles and controllers was established by Caltrans to provide safety improvements for the intersection. The amount of right-of-way being acquired will serve two purposes: first, the acquired land is sufficient for the installation of the traffic signal, and second, it coincides with the right-of-way requirements for the ultimate widening project. The project has been planned and located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury. Of the two (2) parcels being acquired, the first parcel (No. 17821- 1) is vacant. The second parcel (No. 17369-1) is being used as a parking area for and adjacent store. (3) THE TWO (2) PARCELS ARE NECESSARY FOR THE PROJECT Construction of the traffic signal is required to improve safety at this intersection. The property required is compatible with the ultimate Route 74 alignment and provides for the required safety improvements. Without these two (2) parcels, it would not be possible to construct the traffic signal to the required standards and to have the right of way necessary to build the ultimate project. (4) THE OFFERS OF JUST COMPENSATION HAVE BEEN MADE Government Code Section 7267.2 requires that an offer of the fair market value of the parcels to be acquired be made to the owner. Appraisals were prepared on our behalf, and offers of the fair market value were made to the individual property owners. While negotiation is still ongoing, the property owners have not accepted the offer to date. The adoption of the resolution of necessity does not preclude continuing negotiations with the property owners. Financial Assessment Project Cost Funds are currently available for the acquisition of the named parcels.

Compliance with California Code of Civil Procedure. There has been compliance by the Commission with the requirements of section 1245.235 of the California Code of Civil Procedure regarding notice and hearing. Section 2. Public Use. The public use for which the fee interests are to be acquired is the construction of safety improvements consisting of a traffic signal at the intersection of Greenwald/Meadowbrook Avenue and State Route 74, pursuant to the authority granted to it by section 130220.5 of the California Public Utilities Code. Section 130220.5 of the California Public Utilities Code authorizes the Commission to acquire by eminent domain property necessary for such purposes. Section 3. Description of Property. Attached and marked as Exhibit "A" are the legal descriptions and plats of the real property to be acquired by the Commission, which describe the general location and extent of the property with sufficient detail for reasonable identification. Section 4. Findings. The Commission hereby finds and determines each of the following: (a) The public interest and necessity require the proposed project; (b) The proposed project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury; (c) The property described in Exhibit "A" is necessary for the proposed project; and (d) The offer required by section 7267.2 of the California Government Code was made. Section 5. Use Not Unreasonably Interfering with Existing Public Use(s).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Working papers #1 "Overview of Candidate Corridors" and #2 "Draft Corridor Evaluation Criteria were presented to the Plans and Programs Committee at the September 27, 1999 meeting. Subsequently, the CETAP consultant has produced Working Paper #3 "Evaluation of Corridors" which is attached as a separate document in your agenda package. Working Paper #3 was presented to the CETAP Advisory Committee at their November 8, 1999 meeting. At that time, the CETAP Advisory Committee was also provided an assignment to review the working paper and provide their respective assessment of corridor priorities to staff and the consultant. At their meeting on December 7, 1999, the CETAP Advisory Committee reviewed the evaluation of the 13 candidate corridors and provided their recommendations on which corridors are of the highest priority (5), of medium priority (4) and low priority (4). The initial draft priorities were included in "Recommendations on Corridors to Move Forward to CETAP Phase II -DRAFT", which was reviewed by the Plans and Programs Committee on December 20, 1999. At their meeting on January 4, 2000, the CETAP Advisory Committee reviewed the Plans and Programs Committee and CETAP Task Force comments and suggested corridor refinements which have resulted in the following 4 corridors being recommended for further refinement in Phase II: Riverside County to Orange County, Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County, Hemet to Corona/Lake Elsinore, and Banning/Beaumont to Temecula. Please note that the CETAP effort is currently not fully funded. While it is our intent to bring 2 of the corridors recommended for Phase II work to Tier I El status, this will be dependent on obtaining additional funding commitments. Of the $5.5 million budget for CETAP, there remains an approximate $2.4 million shortfall in funding. We continue to make headway in obtaining additional funds, but funding will have a direct impact on what can be accomplished. MEMORANDUM TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission and Riverside County Board of Supervisors FROM: CETAP Advisory Committee SUBJECT: Recommendations on corridors to move forward to Phase II of the Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) DATE: January 4, 2000 This memorandum represents a set of recommendations from the CETAP Advisory Committee for the set of transportation corridors to carry forward for further analysis in Phase II of CETAP. In addition, recommended actions also are identified for corridors that are not suggested for further analysis in Phase II. The recommendations are based on: 1) the various analyses that have been conducted in CETAP so far, as reflected in Working Paper No. 3, Evaluation of Corridors, and several memoranda previously distributed to the committee, 2) input received from CETAP Advisory Committee members on their Corridor Priorities forms, and 3) the existence of other planning and analysis activities currently being conducted or that have been conducted in the recent past. These recommendations may be modified based on discussions with the CETAP Advisory Committee. The failure of a corridor to be recommended for further analysis does not mean that the corridor is unimportant. There are important transportation issues in all the corridors. However, the urgency of engaging in corridor development activities varies. In some cases, there are alternate avenues for pursuing improvements in some of these corridors. In addition, further analysis within most of the corridors will take place as part of the development of the General Plan Circulation Element, but at a less detailed level. Analysis will also take place at the system level, including location of potential transit station areas and supportive land use strategies along the transit spine network. THE OVERALL TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY The CETAP process is intended to think not only in terms of improvements to individual corridors, but in terms of how the transportation system operates together to support the County's vision. The following elements of an overall transportation strategy are recommended, based on the analysis to date and input from the community: • Place significant investment in attracting jobs to Riverside County — This is a win -win scenario for virtually every aspect of the vision, including transportation. • Recognize that even with a significant shift in jobs to Riverside County, a reshaping of development patterns within the County, or a substantial investment in transit, keeping highway traffic moving will be a daunting challenge. Maintaining mobility on the County's highway system and on linkages to other counties is critical to the County's economy and to making the County an enjoyable place to live. This will require a serious effort of improving and expanding freeway systems and providing a supporting arterial system that provides access for shorter trips, and preserves mobility on the freeways for longer trips. • Provide a transit "spine network" that can develop and grow with the County. If higher capacity transit options are not currently viable in certain corridors, at least retain the flexibility to incorporate these types of transit options into strategic corridors at a later date. The corridors that may be considered for this transit "spine network- include: existing Metrolink lines from Riverside to Orange County, Metrolink extension on the San Jacinto 1 Branch line to Moreno Valley, Perris, and Hemet/San Jacinto, connections to the San .lacinto Branch line along the SR-79 corridor and/or I-215 corridor to Temecula, a transit corridor along 1-15 between Temecula and Ontario, and a corridor from Banning/Beaumont and the Coachella Valley to Riverside. The form of transit (express bus, commuter rail, light rail, etc.) would be determined at the time when such service becomes viable and could involve a phasing in over time to higher grade service. • Work with Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties to improve feeder services at their end of the Metrolink lines, to allow for greater opportunity for County residents to use Metrolink. • As much as the market permits, provide for cluster development along transit corridors and in nodes of development that can be served by transit. Provide incentives to the development community that promote more compact development along corridors and in potential station areas (both Metrolink and other future transit station areas) that are along the "spine network." • Continue to reinforce transportation options that promote efficient use of the system: carpooling, vanpooling, telecommuting, and advanced transportation technologies. • Preserve and expand opportunities for a network of bikeways, pathways, and equestrian trails as the transportation system is developed. • Design corridors to reinforce the character of the communities through which they pass. • Where transportation facilities must traverse wildlife areas, provide for effective treatment of wildlife crossings. Provide a set of standards that can be used county -wide, developed with full involvement of stakeholders. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL CORRIDORS This section suggests initial recommendations for each individual corridor. It indicates the recommendation of whether to carry the corridor forward into Phase II, and other recommendations for subsequent action. A recommendation to carry a corridor forward into Phase II does not imply support for any particular transportation alternative. Multi -modal alternatives will be further developed and analyzed in Phase II, with full opportunity for input from stakeholders on transportation, environmental and community issues. These recommendations do not represent a commitment of funding for any individual project or set of projects. A funding plan will need to be developed for any particular improvements recommended. RCTC will serve as lead agency for all the corridor efforts, unless otherwise specified. The County will continue to serve as lead agency for development of the County Circulation Element. The corridor recommendations are provided below, arranged in general categories, not as a specific ranking of corridors. All of the recommendations for Phase 11 study may not be fundable with known CETAP resources. Specific activities that can be funded will need to be determined following specific detailing of scope and conversations with officials in adjacent counties as recommended for the corridors to Orange County and San Bernardino. Corridors To Be Considered for Full Study In CETAP Phase II (subject to available resources) Riverside County to Orange County • Recommend for corridor development in CETAP Phase II, with following proviso: Initiate two months of multi -level meetings with Orange County officials, Forest Service, development community, and environmental/resource agencies/groups to formulate a study strategy. Report to be generated at end of February 2000 that will make final recommendation on corridor development strategy and could be used for scoping meetings in both Riverside and Orange Counties. All multimodal transportation options for improving travel between the counties will be considered, including both improvement of existing transportation facilities and development of new corridors. • In parallel, wort: with Orange County to improve transit connections to Metrolink. • Formulate land use policy for development around Metrolink stations in Riverside County Moreno Valley to San Bernardino County • Initiate a two -month joint effort with San Bernardino County to develop a study strategy to improve north -south mobility between Moreno Valley and San Bernardino. This could involve pursuing the development of transportation improvements such as the arterial improvements considered in the 1995 study conducted in this corridor by San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. It could also consider further improvements to SR-60/1-215 in the Box Springs area and on 1-215 north from SR-60. The decision of whether to pursue corridor development in CETAP Phase II or under separate effort from CETAP will be made as a part of the two -month effort to develop the study strategy. Hemet to Corona/Lake Elsinore • Recommend for corridor development in CETAP Phase II, coordinated with Orange County corridor. Scope would include potential reservation of right-of-way for highway corridor improvements as well as potential transit connections from Hemet/San Jacinto. including location of transit stations and land use policies around transit stations. Banning/Beaumont to Temecula • Recommend for corridor development in CETAP Phase II, addressing future SR-79 alignment and cross-section and transit station development from the San Jacinto Branch line south to Temecula. Emphasize the accommodation of regional traffic flows through the Temecula/Murietta area, with the possibility of a bypass around the area connecting to 1-15 south to San Diego. Also emphasize east -west connections between SR-79, 1-215 and 1-15. Closely coordinate with SR-79 realignment study being conducted from south of SR-74 to Lambs Canyon. Corridors To Be Considered for More Limited, Targeted Study Moreno Valley/Riverside to Corona • Develop plan to preserve/improve arterial mobility between I-215 and SR-91. Should include Van Buren, Cajalco/Mockingbird Canyon, and Alessandro. The section of Van Buren from SR- 91 to SR-60 will also be considered. Plan to be completed by June, 2000 as part of CETAP process. Plan could include: policies to limit driveway access, locations for intersection improvements, limitations on new traffic signals, identification of future interchange locations, identification of ultimate roadway cross -sections, and improvements to transit service. • Promote ongoing Caltrans and RCTC efforts to widen SR-60/I-215, SR-9l through the City of Riverside, and 1-215 north of SR-91. • Set a target timeframe for extension of Metrolink to March ARB. Temecula to Corona/Ontario • Recommend six-month effort as part of CETAP to define future/ultimate cross-section of 1-15 and future interchange needs, coupled with freeway agreements with cities and the County to promote effective land use planning and prevent encroachment on right-of-way. Include transit opportunities as a consideration in defining the cross-section. 3 Temecula to Riverside • Recommend six-month effort as part of CETAP to define future/ultimate cross-section of 1-215 and future interchange needs, coupled with freeway agreements with cities and the County to promote effective land use planning and prevent encroachment on right-of-way. Include transit opportunities as a consideration. Other Corridor Recommendations Riverside to Los Angeles County • Support Four Corners recommendations, but with the additional recommendation to improve connections to Orange County. Recommend that RCTC send a letter to Four Corners steering committee to this effect. • Work with Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties to improve transit connections to Metrolink. RCTC to take lead. • Formulate land use policy for development around Metrolink stations in Riverside County. Riverside to Fontana • CETAP Advisory Committee to provide input to the North -South Corridor Study being initiated in that area. No additional study warranted under CETAP. Hemet to Riverside • Addressed in Moreno Valley/Riverside to Corona recommendations. • Identify specific station locations so that land use planning can be conducted with expectation of future rail service in corridor. Temecula to San Diego • Work with San Diego County officials to initiate express bus service, similar to Coachella Valley initiative. RTA to take lead. Banning/Beaumont to Riverside • Promote and monitor improvements to 1-10 in San Bernardino County. • Support improvements to local arterial system in Banning/Beaumont that will preserve mobility on 1-10, SR-60 and SR-79. • Support safety improvements on SR-60 through the Badlands. Coachella Valley to Banning/Beaumont • Support express bus service being initiated by SunLine. • Support development of inter -city rail from the Coachella Valley to Riverside/San Bernardino and Los Angeles • Support investigation of a route to allow trucks to bypass the Coachella Valley • Recommend improvements to local arterial system that will preserve mobility- on 1-10, SR-60 and SR-79. 4 0 C m Ae!IBA ouaaoW aJOU!SO a)1e1 n 0 0 m 2 r 2 2 2 2 2 2 r 2 2 2 r r r 2 r 2 r r r r r 0 C m a 2 E N 0 CO N N v w Cn N cn CO V rn .n CO rn CO A Q) 0 N CO 0 w 0 rn A fT w N V N siagwayy aawwwoo Riverside to L.A.

RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: January 12, 2000 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Measure "A" Strategic Plan Background Assumptions Information and STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Support full funding for the widening of State Route 91 between Mary and Seventh Streets that is consistent with previously approved formulas for countywide highway projects and does not exceed a total of cost of $170.7 million (current dollars). 2. Reaffirm previously approved Commission actions allocating funding for Western County highway projects while protecting and maintaining the formula share of State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Dollars (currently estimated at $58 million) for countywide discretionary needs. 3. Receive and file the Draft Supplemental Project Study Report on the widening of State Route 91 between Mary and Seventh Streets in the City of Riverside. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The purpose of this staff report is to provide a comprehensive review of the Measure "A" Strategic Plan and to provide the information necessary for basing decisions on the allocation of future STIP revenues. Direction for bringing this item back to the Commission was approved during the November meeting held in Indio when a recommendation was first made to allocate $58 million in STIP discretionary funds for the widening of the 91 between Mary and Seventh Streets. Although the staff recommendation had been approved by the Plans and Programs Committee of the Commission, the recommendation was rejected by the Commission as a whole. The vote against the recommendation was then followed by a motion by Commissioners Robin Lowe and Tom Mullen to bring back the overall funding issue to the Commission in January. During the Commission meeting in November, Commissioners expressed widely divergent views on the funding recommendation. Some, strongly supported the recommendation while others sharply dissented. Regardless of position, it became clear that more information would be needed to address the issue properly and it would be advisable to forward a number of alternative funding strategies to fund the 91 project while protection a portion or all of the discretionary STIP funds for other possible uses. The widening of State Route 91 is one of the cornerstone projects specified in the Measure "A" ordinance approved by voters in 1988. Before examining the highway projects, it is instructive to consider the overall history of Measure "A". In doing so, special care should be taken to consider the role of the STIP in carrying out the will of the voters who approved Measure "A" in 1988. STIP revenues and Measure "A" dollars are intended to work together to implement the highway portion of the Measure "A" program. In fact, Measure "A" has enabled the RCTC to obtain more dollars in state and federal funding and has enabled the Commission to leverage its dollars for greater effect and benefits for Riverside County residents and commuters. Given that backdrop, that means that any consideration of the allocation of STIP highway dollars has an effect on the implementation of the Measure "A" program. The issue of funding the widening of Route 91 between Mary and Seventh Streets has been particularly vexing for RCTC for a number of years. When first considered by Caltrans a number of years ago, the preliminary engineering report identified a cost of approximately $231 million. The scoping of the project was so extensive that right of way needs would have eliminated a significant number of businesses and homes and would have destroyed much of Downtown Riverside's distinctive landscaping and character. Not surprisingly, the City of Riverside opposed the project and the prohibitive cost made funding consideration impossible until only a few months ago. PREVIOUS SHORTFALL ELIMINATED The good news is that Caltrans District 8 has now revised the cost estimate for the Route 91 project. A revised Supplemental Project Study Report (SPSR) is currently in draft form that indicates that more than $100 million can be saved by designing a project that is much less invasive in scope. A copy of the report is attached. The changes reduce the need for right of way and will have less of an impact on businesses and homes in Downtown Riverside. More importantly, the reduction in scope means that the project can be funded through Measure "A" and STIP revenues that have already been dedicated to Western Riverside County freeway projects. The previous shortfall that had been discussed at the Commission meeting in Indio indicated a shortfall of approximately $58 million. This shortfall has now been erased. It also means the Commission can issue a call for projects over the next several years for the $58 million in discretionary funds that had been previously recommended for this project. In considering this good news, it is still helpful to revisit recent Measure "A" accomplishments and to discuss future policy directions in implementing the Commission's Strategic Plan. Since there continues to be extensive consideration of legislation to enable the extension of local option, transportation sales taxes, it is advisable to take stock of what has already been accomplished by Measure "A" and what can be considered through an extension. ENABLING LEGISLATION Measure "A", the 1 /2 cent, voter -approved, transportation sales tax was developed by the Riverside County Transportation Commission under the authority of AB 1637 (Eaves, 1987) and approved by 78.9% of the voters in 1988. A copy of AB 1637 is attached and labeled as Attachment A (the portions relevant to Riverside County are pages 1, 10-1 8). AB 1 637 required the Commission to prepare an Ordinance which identified the tax to be imposed and an Expenditure Plan which identified the purposes for which the tax revenues would be used. The Expenditure Plan was required to, at a minimum, include the following provisions: (1) The proportional distribution of revenues among various purposes; (2) The specific projects to be funded under the state highway and freeway portion; and (3) the formula for distribution of city and county portions, which may be amended by voter approval. Once approved by the voters, the Expenditure Plan could only be amended through a specific process. To date, the Expenditure Plan has not been amended. A copy of the sample ballot and expenditure plan has been included and labeled as Attachment B. MEASURE "A" ORDINANCE AND EXPENDITURE PLAN A copy of the Measure "A" Ordinance No. 88-1 and Expenditure Plan approved by the voters in 1988 is attached. The Expenditure Plan clearly contains the following: 1. A return to source provision that requires revenues generated to be returned to three specific areas of the county: the Western County Area; the Coachella Valley Area; and the Palo Verde Valley Area. This provision was intended to provide equity in the distribution of funds generated by Measure A. 2. An Expenditure Plan for each of the three areas which identify the purposes for which the funds will be used and the specific state highway and freeway projects to be funded. Three distinct plans were developed to meet the unique needs of each of the areas. 3. A reasonable balance between the competing highway, commuter rail, transit, and local street and road needs . The Expenditure Plan, as required by AB 1637, contained a listing of projects and a map to identify the specific state highway and freeway projects which would be funded. In addition, it contained; a listing and map which identifying the specific commuter rail improvements to be funded in the Western County Area; the four highest priority Regional Arterial projects in the Coachella Valley Area; and a requirement for a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program in the Coachella Valley Area. The identification of the highest priority arterials and TUMF requirements were viewed as critical components of the plan by CVAG to gain voter approval of Measure "A" by the voters in that area. SPECIALIZED TRANSPORTATION Specialized transportation services programs were identified to receive 5% of the revenues generated in the Western County and 5-10% of the revenues generated in the Coachella Valley Area. In the Western County Area, these funds have been used for discounted fares and additional transit services for seniors and persons with disabilities, and commuter services including ridesharing through buspools, carpools, and vanpools. In the Coachella Valley, these funds have been used by SunLine Transit Agency to provide additional transit for seniors and persons with disabilities, bus purchases, and expand transit service. LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS PROGRESS Each of the three area plans called for a percentage of funds to be allocated to the cities and the County for local street and road purposes. A table showing the amount of funding allocated to each city and the county over the past ten years from FY 1990 through FY 1999 is attached and labeled as Attachment C. In the Western County Area, 40% of all Measure "A" revenues generated are designated to be returned to the cities and the county through a formula based 75% on population and 25% on revenues generated. From FY 1990 through FY1999, a total of $145.9 million has been allocated to the cities and the county. In the Coachella Valley Area, 35 - 40% is designated to be returned to the cities and the county through a formula based 50% on dwelling units and 50% on revenue generated. Local agencies which do not participate in the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Program are not eligible for these revenues and their allocations are made to CVAG for use in the regional arterial program. In the ten years from FY 1990 through FY 1999, 35% of the Measure "A" revenues, or $42.4 million, has been allocated to the cities, the county, and CVAG. In the Palo Verde Valley Area, 100% of the Measure "A" revenues are designated to be returned to the city of Blythe and the County of Riverside through a formula based 75% on population and 25% on revenues generated. Over the past ten years from FY 1990 through FY 1999, $7.2 million has been allocated to the city and county. REGIONAL ARTERIAL PROGRAM The Coachella Valley Area Expenditure Plan included funding for the State Highway and Regional Arterial Program. Of the total revenues generated, 55% were identified for this purpose based on an estimated 15% for specific highway projects and 40% for regional arterial projects. The plan noted that: 1) the total regional arterial program cost estimate was in excess of $200 million (1988 dollars); 2) a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee would be placed on new development and used for the regional arterial plan; and, 3) the regional arterial program would be implemented through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments. The Expenditure Plan and map identified the four highest priority regional arterials which would be funded. Those projects are: the Mid Valley Parkway from Gene Autry to I-10 at Monterey Avenue; Palm Drive/Gene Autry Trail from the Mid Valley Parkway to Desert Hot Springs; Fred Waring Drive from Route 111 to Indio Boulevard; and Jefferson Street from Avenue 54 to Indio Boulevard. CVAG has provided information to the Commission which states that all of the four highest priority regional arterial projects identified in the Expenditure Plan submitted to the voters will be completed or under construction by 2002. CVAG has also provided a significant list of additional regional arterial projects which have been constructed. The list provided by CVAG is attached as Attachment D and includes interchanges, bridges, major widening, and minor improvements funded by a combination of Measure "A", TUMF, and local funds. COMMUTER RAIL The Western County Expenditure Plan identified a commuter rail program to provide service to from Riverside and San Bernardino to Orange and Los Angeles Counties, and potential expansion to Moreno Valley, Perris, Hemet, and San Jacinto using existing rail lines along Route 91, 1-10 and 1-215. Through the formation of Metrolink with the Counties of Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Ventura, commuter rail services have been implemented from Riverside, Corona, and the unincorporated area of Pedley to San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties using rail lines owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) and by Union Pacific Southern Pacific (UPSP). Commuter rail stations have been constructed in Downtown Riverside, at La Sierra Avenue in Riverside, in West Corona, and in Pedley. Two additional stations are planned at Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside and in Downtown Corona. The rail program has been funded to date by Measure "A", State Rail Bond, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds. Federal formula funding now becoming available from the Federal Transit Administration will be added to these sources for future capital improvements including the new Van Buren and Corona stations. Based on a decision by the Commission to provide a proportional share of the Western County Area Highway and Rail Measure "A" revenues to the commuter rail program, it is estimated that $67.4 million will be available through 2009 for additional capital improvements and as match funds for state and federal revenues. The RCTC owns the San Jacinto Branch Line as a result of the original deal between Metrolink with the BNSF to start services from Riverside to San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Decisions will need to be made by the Commission on A. How much of the Branch Line is likely to be used for the expansion of commuter rail service in the foreseeable future? B. What source of funding will be used to provide the long term operating subsidy which will be required? C. Should Measure "A" funds be reserved for rail stations and improvements in the Pass Area if commuter or intercity rail service is extended to the Coachella Valley? STATE HIGHWAY PROJECTS The Measure "A" Expenditure Plan, as required by AB 1637, identified specific highway projects to be funded. The Expenditure Plan also stated that the RCTC fully expected to continue receive its fair share of State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) revenues. At the time Measure "A" was passed, STIP funds could only be used for highway improvements and were allocated by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) based on county minimums and funding of the highest priority projects. Prior to Measure "A", the Commission, at the request of CVAG ,had made the construction of Route 86 on a new alignment its co -top priority project along with the improvement of 1-215 to freeway standards through Moreno Valley to Perris for seeking STIP funds. The Commission maintained that commitment and Route 86 became its top priority project after 1-215 was fully funded and when Measure "A" was approved. In the 1996 STIP proposal when funding was reduced and projects had to be eliminated, the Commission deleted a needed Route 60 project through Moreno Valley and maintained full funding on Route 86. The decision on which projects would be funded through STIP funds remained with the CTC until the passage of SB 45 (Kopp, 1997) which placed that authority with the individual County Transportation Commissions and expanded the types of eligible projects eligible for funding to include transit, local arterials and other capital improvements beginning in 1998. Tables are attached (Attachments E and F) which show the STIP and Measure "A" revenues expected to be available for the period 2000 to 2009 to be programmed for projects proposed years and funding sources recommended by staff to complete those projects. STIP funds are estimated to be $60 million per STIP cycle in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008. Of the $60 million per cycle, $14.52 million is identified as Discretionary funding and $45.48 million as formula funding to be programmed in the Western County, the Coachella Valley, and the Palo Verde Valley areas per the formula previously approved by the Commission in March 1988. Among the specific freeway projects called out in the expenditure plan, the Route 91 improvement to add a second lane from Magnolia Avenue to Route 71 identified in Measure "A" has not been entirely completed partly because of revenue estimates, but also due to factors beyond the control of the RCTC. The franchise agreement between the State and CPTC, the toll road owners, has restricted the ability of the RCTC to add additional capacity to Route 91 from 1-15 to the Orange County Line. The 1-215 for widening from the 60/91 /1-215 Interchange to the San Bernardino County Line has also not been funded partly due to current revenue estimates, but also due to factors beyond the control of the RCTC. The present scope for the improvements on this segment of 1-215 preferred by the Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans would have a cost which could not be funded with projected revenues, and without a funding commitment for continuing the improvements from the San Bernardino County Line to 1-10 the project, cannot proceed. During the November Commission meeting, there was considerable opposition to funding the Route 91 widening project between Mary and Seventh Streets through the use of discretionary funds. Concerns and opposition were raised by a number of Commissioners who feared that far too much of the discretionary funds would be earmarked for a single highway project and who wished to maintain the funding formula agreed by the Commission in March 1998. Now that the shortfall has been erased through a more reasonable scope for the project, there is no need to allocate additional discretionary STIP dollars for this project. Instead, the STIP formula funds that had been allocated for Western County highway projects will be sufficient to fund the project and complete this major component of the Measure "A" program. Caltrans should be commended for developing a more realistic and supportable scope for the project. The support for the project is evident in a letter attached from the City of Riverside that is supportive of the new project along with a direction to consider additional improvements at the Arlington Avenue interchange. Those options will be identified along with Caltrans, but are unlikely to exceed the overall $170.7 million budget for the project. During the February Commission meeting, staff will present a finalized Supplemental Project Study Report as well as a full update to the Strategic Plan. FUTURE ACTIONS AND NEXT STEPS Since, $58 million in STIP discretionary funds will remain available, it will require the Commission to consider other options or a call for projects in the near future to allocate these dollars. What should be remembered is that these dollars will actually become available for programming in STIP cycles corresponding with years 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008. Since those revenues are to become available over the course of eight years, staff recommends a call for projects will be issued consistent with the STIP development schedule. In the meantime, staff recommends moving forward with Caltrans to implement additional engineering and design for the Route 91 project. SUPPLE V LOCATION MAP ENTAL PROJECT STUDY REPORT rd.

INTRODUCTION This Supplemental Project Study Report (SPSR) outlines revisions to original scope of work for improvements to State Route 91 (SR-91) outlined in the approved Project Study Reports for projects EA 46160K and EA 466900. The PSR for EA 46160K was approved on February 2, 1994, and outlined three alternatives for the widening of SR-91 from Temescal Wash (PM 6.6) west of I-15 to Cridge St. (PM 19.63) in downtown Riverside. The alternatives ranged from adding two to four additional lanes with a wide range of standard and reduced sections, and several interchange geometric configurations. The total project cost ranged from about $195 million to $270 million. The PSR for EA 466900 was approved on October 22, 1993, and outlined similar mainline and interchange improvements on SR-91 between Cridge St. (PM 19.63) and the 60/91/215 IC (PM 21.6), at an estimated construction cost of $55 million. Revisions to the original scope of work, consist primarily of limiting or eliminating high cost alternatives, that would have required the acquisition of substantial additional right of way, and would have resulted in significant adverse impacts on the business and residential developments along the freeway corridor. The revised project scope and range of alternatives addressed in this report will be limited to the addition of a single HOV lane in each direction between the end of the existing HOV lanes at Mary Street (KP 28.0) and University Ave. (KP 33.0) in downtown Riverside. See Exhibit 1 for Location Map. The primary objectives of this project are to increase freeway capacity and relieve congestion, and to provide for the continuity of the HOV network while minimizing adverse impacts to the community. Outside widening, bridge replacements, reconfiguration of existing interchanges, and the use of extensive retaining walls will be required to accomplish the above objectives. The estimated cost of the proposed mainline and interchange improvements has been estimated between $113 million for the Reduced Standard HOV Alternative and $261 million for the Standard HOV Alternative. Funding for this project is expected from the Regional Improvement Program in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) under the HOV Operational Improvement (HB5) Program. Federal funding is anticipated. 2.BACKGROUND SR-91 begins in Los Angeles County at the junction with State Route 1 and continues easterly through Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties, where it ends at the 60/91/215 Interchange (West Junction) in the City of Riverside. SR-91 was constructed in 1952 as a four -lane divided facility. In 1972 one (1) additional lane was added in each direction within the median, providing a six 6-lane facility. Subsequent to that, HOV lanes have been added to the facility. The last link between Magnolia Ave. (PM 11.1) and Mary Street (PM 17.4) was recently completed and became operational in October of 1996. A project (EA 42210K) to pave the median, construct a concrete median barrier, and rehabilitate the existing pavement between Mary Street and the West Junction, is expected to be under construction during fiscal year 2000/2001. The improvements in the above project have been coordinated with the proposed mainline and interchange improvements under this project. In addition, the Project Report and Environmental Document for project EA 466900 are in the late stages of development for improvements to Interstate 215 (I-215) and State Routes 60 and 91 in the vicinity of the 60/91/215 Interchange. The proposed improvements on SR-91 in the above referenced project have been grouped under EA 462710. The proposed improvements include the widening and realignment of SR-91 to accommodate the reconstruction of several of the existing freeway to freeway connectors, and to provide for future HOV lanes between University Ave. and the West Junction. This project is expected to be under construction during fiscal year 2001/2002. The ultimate corridor for this segment of SR-91 consists of a 10-lane facility (8 MF + 2 HOV lanes) as indicated in the approved Route Concept Report dated October 25, 1989. The intent of this project is not to address the requirements of the ultimate corridor. However, the proposed mainline and interchange improvements outlined in this report will be designed to accommodate future widening of the facility. A report identifying the locations of the proposed noise barriers along SR-91 within the limits of this project will be prepared during the Project Report (PR) phase. The Noise Wall Study will be coordinated with the City of Riverside and RCTC to ensure consistency with community goals and values. 3. NEED AND PURPOSE The 1998 Regional Transportation Plan by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) predicts that the population of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties will increase over 80% by the year 2020. This growth is expected to result in increased local and commuter traffic along SR-91. Existing operating conditions on SR- 91 within the project limits are characterized as breakdown conditions or Level of Service (LOS) F during peak hours. Unless significant improvements are implemented in the near future, the carrying capacity and operational efficiency of the facility will deteriorate even further as traffic demand increases. The increased congestion would result in increased commuting time, commuter frustration and higher travel costs, and air quality will worsen due to increased emissions. Also, poor levels of service at the facility are expected to have adverse impacts on adjacent freeways and on the local streets network as motorist seek less congested alternate routes. SR-91 is a major commuter link between Riverside/San Bernardino and employment centers in Orange County and southern Los Angeles County, and is essential to the economic vitality of the Inland Empire. Therefore, in order to address current deficiencies and to meet future traffic needs at an acceptable level of service, it is recommended that the proposed mainline and interchange improvements outlined in this report be implemented as soon as possible. The proposed improvements are consistent with the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP) and the District's Long Range Operations Plan (LROP). EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES: Existing Average Annual Daily Traffic (1998 AADT) volumes on SR-91 within the project limits range from 76,700 to 81,700. The Peak -Hourly volumes range from 6020 vph to 7780 vph.

Projected operating conditions for the mainline and ramps are depicted in Exhibit 4.2 and 4.3. 4. ALTERNATIVES The alternatives being considered for this project are the No -Build Alternative, the Standard HOV Alternative, and the Reduced Standard HOV Alternative. NO -BUILD ALTERNATIVE: This alternative is considered the base case and assumes that no improvements are implemented on the existing facility within the project limits at this time. However, it does not preclude the construction of future improvements. This alternative would not address the existing capacity deficiencies and congestion problems along SR-91. Without significant improvements, traffic congestion will continue to increase, and the operating conditions, which are already at LOS F, are going to continue to deteriorate, resulting in longer delays and even longer commute times. In addition, this alternative is consistent with the regional mobility goals and objectives of the California Department of Transportation and the Riverside County Transportation Commission. STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE: This alternative consists primarily of the addition of one (1) HOV lane in each direction on SR-91 between Mary Street and University Ave., the reconfiguration of existing interchanges, and the reconstruction of existing overcrossings to accommodate the proposed mainline improvements. In addition, this alternative includes the geometric improvements necessary to upgrade the vertical and horizontal alignments to provide a design speed of 110 km/hr. The following is a summary of the proposed mainline and interchange improvements in this alternative: . Construct one (1) HOV lane in each direction from Mary St. to University Ave. . Reconstruct the Arlington Ave. Underscrossing Br. no. 56-330, and reconstruct ramps. . Construct a new undercrossing to provide for the realignment of the Arlington EB off -ramp. . Construct an auxiliary lane between Arlington Ave. and Central Ave. in the EB and WB directions. . Reconstruct the Central Ave. Undercrossing Br. No. 56-356, and reconstruct ramps. . Reconstruct the existing overcrossing at: Ivy St. Br. No. 56-329, Cridge St. Br. No. 56-312, and Fourteenth St. Br. no. 56-313. . Construct a new structure and remove the existing Pachappa Railroad Underpass Br. no. 56-325. . Replace existing diamond entrance and exit ramps between Fourteenth St. and University Ave. with braided ramps in both directions. . Construct a new overcrossing to accommodate the proposed Fourteenth Street EB entrance braided ramp. . Construct a new overcrossing to accommodate the proposed Fourteenth Street WB exit braided ramp. . Widen roadbed to increase horizontal stopping sight distance to 110 km/hr at five locations. . Reconstruct the roadbed to adjust the vertical alignment to increase the vertical stopping sight distance to 110 km/hr between Mary Street and just west of Cridge St. . Construct an auxiliary lane at the Fourteenth St. EB off -ramp. Other major elements of work include significant retaining wall construction, sound wall construction for noise abatement, and landscape replacement. Substantial right of way would be required at several locations to accommodate the proposed mainline and interchange improvements, and to improve the vertical and horizontal alignments. Refer to Appendix A for details on typical cross sections and project layout plans. The total project cost (12/99) for the STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE has been estimated at approximately $261 million. The cost estimate breakdown is as follows: Roadway Construction $79,554,000 Bridge Construction $29,105,000 R/W & Utility Relocation $99,800,000 Total Capital Cost $208,459,000 Support Cost $52,115,000 Total Project Cost $260,574,000 REDUCED STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE: The proposed mainline and interchange improvements in this alternative are essentially the same as those of the STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE described above. The main difference between the two alternatives is that under the REDUCED STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE, the vertical alignment of the facility would be maintained in its present configuration, and the horizontal alignment would be improved to provide a design speed of 95 km/hr instead of 110 km/hr. The need to consider the REDUCED STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE as a viable alternative stems primarily from the disproportionate impacts of the STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE on the community, the substantially higher project costs, and the impracticality of the reconstruction required to achieve a higher geometric standard. The proposed mainline and interchange improvements in this alternative are as follows: . Construct one (1) HOV lane in each direction from Mary St. to University Ave. .

The total project cost (12/99) for the REDUCED STANDARD ALTERNATIVE has been estimated at approximately $113 million. The cost estimate breakdown is as follows: Roadway Construction Bridge Construction R/W & Utility Relocation Total Capital Cost Support Cost Total Project Cost ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES $60,758,000 $19,659,000 $ 9,612,000 $90,029,000 $22,507,000 $112,536,000 A comparison of projected traffic volumes between the No -Build and the HOV Alternatives for the year 2020 indicates that traffic volumes for the HOV Alternative would be higher than those of the No -Build Alternative, because of the additional capacity of the proposed HOV lanes as illustrated below.

The additional HOV lanes are expected to bring only temporary relief, since traffic demand is expected to continue to increase at an accelerated rate. In terms of the impacts and benefits of the proposed mainline and interchange improvements, it was determined that although it is desirable to upgrade SR-91 to current design standards, the cumulative impacts of such endeavor would be too severe on the community for the realized benefits. Therefore, the STANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE was determined to be not a viable alternative. The REDUCED SATANDARD HOV ALTERNATIVE increases highway capacity, relieves congestion, and provides for the continuity of the HOV network, while minimizing adverse impacts to the community. However, operating conditions would be restricted by the existing geometric alignment of the facility. A Fact Sheet for Exceptions to Mandatory Design Standards has been prepared to identify existing and proposed features that do not conform to current design standards. Refer to Appendix F for additional details. 5. SYSTEM PLANNING: The proposed improvements are consistent with statewide, regional and local planning goals are being coordinated with impacted governmental, regulatory and private agencies in the area to ensure consistency with specific local goals and objectives. The proposed improvements will not preclude the development of the ultimate concept facility called for in the approved Route Concept Report dated October 1989. 6. HAZARDOUS WASTE: An Initial Site Assessment (ISA) has identified potential hazardous waste sites, which may have an adverse impact on the project's scope, cost, and schedule. Affected sites will be evaluated further to determine levels of contamination and appropriate remediation strategies. Refer to Appendix D for approved ISA. 7. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN: A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) will be required to minimize traffic impacts during construction. A detailed TMP will be developed during the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E). The estimated cost of the TMP is included in the cost estimate. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The following are areas of potential environmental concern: . Removal of several residential and business properties; . Increased noise and air -emission levels to sensitive receptors; . Impacts on habitats, including wetlands, and populations of sensitive biological species; . Archeological and historical resources; . Construction -related impacts. In compliance with the environmental processing requirements in: Division 13, Public Resources Code (State) and 42 U.S.C.4332 (2) © (Federal), an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) has been prepared. A Mitigated Negative Declaration and Finding of No Significant Impact is anticipated. If further studies reveal that unmitigated impacts will occur, an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Study (EIR/EIS) would be required. Refer to Appendix E. 9. FUNDING/SCHEDULING: This project is eligible for programming in the 2000 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) under the HOV Operational Improvements (HB5) Program. The following is a summary of the tentative project schedule milestones for this project: MILESTONE DURATION FROM SPSR APPROVAL Approve SPSR 0 months PA&ED 24 months District PS&E 48 months R/W Certification 50 months HQ Advertisement 54 months Complete Project 90 months 10.

E is Haley, Executive Director RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION CONLMISSION :560 University Avenue, Suite 100 Riverside, CA 92501 State Route 91 Supplement Project Study_ Report Mary Street to University avenue The City of Riverside has reviewed the draft Supplement Project Study Report for the construction of HOV lanes on State Route 91 between Mary Street and University Avenue. The City prefers the scope and design of reduced standard HOV alternative with the exception of the eastbound ramp configuration at Arlington Avenue. We are concerned that the ramp configuration may have a detrimental impact on the operation of Arlington Avenue and land lock a significant commercial parcel_ After discussing our concerns with your staff and Caltrans, we believe that several viable alternatives exist to address our concerns. The City is requesting that additional access alternatives for Arlington Avenue be developed and analyzed during the project report phase of the project.

[Became law without Governor's signature. Filed with Secretary of State July 28, 1987.1 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGIST AB 1637, Eaves. Local transportation agency: San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. (1) Existing law authorizes the establishment of local transportation agencies in particular counties and authorizes those agencies, upon voter approval, to impose a retail transactions and use tax and to issue limited obligation bonds, and to use the revenue for specified transportation purposes. (a) This bill would enact the San Bernardino County Transportation Sales Tax Act, which would authorize the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, at the request of the San Bernardino County Transportation Commission, to adopt and submit to the voters for approval, by majority vote, an ordinance authorizing the commission to impose a 1% or yq% retail transactions and use tax to finance highway and local transportation improvements in San Bernardino County, which would become effective if approved by the commission and the voters, as specified. (b) The bill would also enact the Riverside County Transportation Sales Tax Act, which would authorize the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to adopt and submit to the voters for approval, by majority vote, an ordinance authorizing the Riverside County Transportation Commission to impose a 2% retail transactions and use tax to finance highway and local transportation improvements in Riverside County, which would become effective if approved by the commission and the voters, as specified. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for staking that reimbursement. This bill would impose a state -mandated local program by requiring the counties referred to in (a) and (b), above, to hold elections and by creating and prescribing new duties for the county transportation commissions in those counties. The bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons. Ch. 270 : 2 — (3) The bill world declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

By County Council ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE A If you are as sick and tired of living with traffic congestion as we are, do something about it Vote yes on Measure A. Measure A is a new approach to our traffic problem. It offers us a well -thought-out plan to deal with traffic and improve the quality of life in Riverside County. "Yes on A" will widen the Riverside Freeway from six to ten lanes from the Orange County line through to the City of Riverside. It guarantees major improvements to other existing highways such as Routes 60 (Pomona Freeway), I-215, 86, 74, the Mid -Valley Parkway in the desert, adding an all-weather bridge to 19 and improving the 91 /60/1-215 interchange. "Yes on A" means cleaner air by reducing the time our cars spend needlessly idling in traffic jams, producing SMOG. "Yes on A" helps seniors and disabled citizens by increasing transit service and guaranteeing half-price fares. "Yes on A" repairs, improves and maintains local streets and roads by halting road deterioration and preventing more costly repairs. "Yes on A" provides new commuter rail service on existing railroad tracks within Riverside County and to Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Convenient commuter rail means fewer cars and less traffic on our freeways and roads. "Yes on A" encourages carpools and vanpools with mare park -and -ride lots and by adding carpool lanes. "Yes on A" improves safety an our major highways by adding call boxes throughout the county. Measure A is a new approach to solving one of the worst problems in our community. It will mean safer roads, cleaner air and shorter commutes for our families, workers, students, seniors and disabled; in other words, a major improvement in the quality of life for all Riverside County.

Mainte- nance and repairs of existing roadways and improvements to relieve congestion cannot be accomplished with available funds. Without additional funds, the system will bog down and pavement will crumble into permanent disrepair. State highway funds are inadequate and competition for funds is increasing. Projects in areas where local sales tax funds are available will be viewed much more favorably in the selection process of the California Transportation Commission. Local governments must either generate revenues to save the system or watch the system collapse and endanger the health, welfare and safety of all Riverside County residents. A one-half percent sales tax for transportation to supplement traditional revenues and revenues to be generated through locally -adopted developer fees and assessment districts for transportation improvements is the only way local governments can be sure the transportation system will serve the current and future travel needs of Riverside County. The Riverside County Transportation Commission will continua to seek maximum funding for transportation improvements through State programs. The Commission will not provide sales tax revenues to any city or to the County unless revenues currently used by that agency for transportation are continued to be used for transportation purposes. The Riverside County Transportation Commission ordains as follows: SECTION I. SUMMARY.

BY: Ron Mum Vice Chairman Riverside County Transportation Commission 163-05 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN JULY 13, 1988 GOALS AND POUCIES IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN THE DUAUTY OF UFE IN RIVERSIOE COUNTY BY SUPPLEMENTING EXISTING FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION. — Enhance Riverside County's ability to secure State and Federal funding for transportation by offering matching local funds. — Avoid "Los Angelaation" of Riverside County by reducing current traffic congestion problems Now. PROVIDE FOR EOUITY IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF MEASURE A REVENUES. — Return funds to the Western County, Coachella Valley and Palo Verde Valley proportionate to funds generated in those areas. — Adopt Improvement Plan proposals which address the unique needs of each of these areas of the County. — Provide for a reasonable balance between competing highway, commuter rail, transit, and local street and road needs. PROVIDE FOR LOCAL CONTROL OF THE IMPROVEMENT PLAN PROGRAM. — Provide for cost-effective, local administration of the program through the existing Riverside County Transportation Commission. No new agency would be created to administer these funds. — Delegate appropriate administrative responsibility to cities, the county, and other local agencies for local programs. This TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN, which shall also act as the County's expenditure plan, was prepared by the Riverside County Transportation Commission for the proposed 14% local transactions and use tax for transportation to be collected for the next 20 years if approved by voters on November 8, 1988 — Measure A. This is proposed by the Commission as a means to fill the funding shortfall to implement needed highway and commuter nil projects. local street and road programs and transit improvements for the seniors and handicapped people. SPECIFIC TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY The Improvement Plan Map illustrates both the Western Riverside County and Coachella Valley areas. The Western County area includes the cities of Riverside, Banning, Beaumont, Corona, Hemet Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Norco. Perris, and San Jacinto. It also includes the unincorporated communities of Sun City, Canyon Lakes, and Rancho California and other sparsely populated unincorporated areas. 1. State Highways Many more state highway projects are needed to deal with congestion and safety problems than existing federal and state revenues can fund. The major focus in the Western County area is improvement to State Route 91 and the State Routes 91/60/1-215 interchange. The 1988 costs of these and other priority highway projects in the Western County area exceed $620 million. Estimated funds from existing state and federal sources will meet only about one-half of these needs. Measure A funds are anticipated to cover the other half. The highway projects to be implemented with funding assistance from Measure A funds returned to the Western County area are as follows: Route Limits Project Cast Range (1 Millions) Rte 91 Orange County line to Mag- nolia Avenue (South-west Riverside)(Riverside Freeway) Widen from 6 to 101anes (Add 1 lanes in each direction) Rte 91 Magnolia Avenue to 91/60/ Add up to 1 lanes in each 1.215 Interchange (Riverside direction Freeway) Rte 60 Interstate 215 to Redlands Widen to 6 lanes (add 1 lane Boulevard (Pomona Freeway) in each direction) $118.0 173.5 21.7 Route Limits Project Rte 60 Route 91 to Valley Way (Pomona Freeway) Rte 74 Interstate 15 to Interstate 215 Rte 74 Winchester Road to Warren Road Rte 79/ Interstate 10 to Route 74 near Sanderson Hemet/San Jacinto Rte 19 Newport Road to Keller Road Rte 60/ Route 91 to Route 60 1.215 'Rte 1-215 Interchange to San Bernardino County Line Rte 91/60 60/91/1-215 Interchange Rte 60 & Various locations 91 Rte 60. 91 Various locations & 1.215 All Various locations All Spaced per standard/all highways Contingencies TOTAL $624.7 If connecting projects are constructed in San Bernardino County. Funds to support these projects will come from a highway and commuter rail transportation account of $339 million. 2. Local Streets cued Roads Cost Range ($ Millions) Widen to 6 lanes (add 1 lane 16.8 in each direction) Widen to 4 lanes (add 1 lane 28.8 in each direction) Realign tune 2.0 Widen portions to 4 lanes & 19.4 construct all-weather crossing at Sanderson Widen to 4 lanes (Add 1 lane 10.0 in each direction) Widen to 8 lanes (add 1 lane 18.8 in each direction) Widen to 8 lanes (add 1 lane 14.2 in each direction), Reconstruct with 2 direct 115.0 freeway to freeway ramps Lease Park & Hide lots 2.0 Interchange work to improve 30.5 local circulation Share cost of interchanges for 20.0 job development Augmem highway call box 2.0 funding 32.0 Over the last 20 years, available funds for maintenance of local streets and roads has declined. At the same time, these facilities are reaching "middle age," with potholes and need for major reconstruction. Local street improvements adjacent to new residential acid business developments will continue to be paid for by the developers. The greatest need is for maintenance and rehabilitation of the existing city and county road system. Current resources cover only 25% to 50% of the pavement maintenance needs. The Improvement Plan proposes that 40% of the Measure A funds to be returned to the Western County area shall be used to assist funding for local streets and roads. Funds should be distributed to the cities and the County by a formula based 75% an proportionate population and 25% on Measure A revenues generated within each jurisdiction. Five year Capital Improvement Programs will be prepared and annually updated within each city and the County with public participation. 3. Discouet Faros and More Transit Service for Seniors and Handicapped Discount transit fares for seniors (age 60 and older) and handicapped people are now one-half the normal fare for fixed route transit service within the Western County area. Measure A funds will be used to guarantee continuation of this reduced fare for 20 years. In addition, funds will be used to provide further reductions for the truly needy. Funds will be used to expand existing services and implement new services. Ways to do this include providing vans and operating assistance to social service agencies, contracts for evening taxi service for medical purposes. and an outreach program to advise seniors and handicapped people of all available transit services and how to use them. The intent of this program is to provide service to those with no other means of transportation. Funding for this program would come from $31 million for specialized transportation. 183.06 4. Commuter Buses, Carpools and Vanpools A systematic program will be implemented that encourages the use of commuter bus, carpools and vanpools to make our existing highway system work better during congested rush hour periods. The commuter bus component will consist of express bus service between major points for home and work trips utilizing special bus/carpool lanes on the freeway system as they are constructed. The use of carpool and vanpools will be encouraged by improving computer assisted ridesharing matching programs, encouraging positive incentives by major employ- ers and providing "seed" money far the start up of vanpool groups for initial vehicle purchase, insurance and related costs. Funding for this program would come from 331 million for specialized transportation programs. 5. Commuter Rail to Los Angeles and Orange Counties Recent studies indicate that development of a commuter rail system using existing rail lines from the Riverside/San Bemardino areas to Los Angeles and Orange Counties is feasible. Commuter rail service would be beneficial to Riverside area commuters, and Los Angeles and Orange County employers. There are considerable federal and state funds available to match local dollars for the provision of rail transit service. It is the intent of this Improvement Plan to match to the maximum extent possible these federal and state funds for the implementation of commuter rail service to both Los Angeles and Orange Counties. It is anticipated that this program will involve a cooperative plan to be funded by Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange Counties. In order for Riverside County to be able to qualify for full state matching funds for commuter rail. Measure 0 on this same ballot will need to be passed by the voters. This will allow Riverside County to be allocated a share of the $75 million per year which the California Transportation Commission must, by law, set aside from the state highway account for rail transit. Commuter Rail Route Limits Parallel to Riverside to Los Angeles and Rte 91. Orange Counties 1.10 and 1.215 Cost Range Project (e Minions) Commuter rail on existing 3100.0 lines Riverside County's share of funds for these projects will come from a highway and commuter rail transportation account of $339 million. COACHELLA VALLEY The Transportation Improvement Plan generally illustrates the proposals for the Coachella Valley Area. The area includes the cities of Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Walls, Indio, La Ouinta, Palm Desert. Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage. It also includes the major unincorporated areas and a substantial amount of more sparsely populated county areas. 1. State Highways and Major Regional Road Projects ' Fifty-five percent of the Measure A funds generated within the Coachella Valley will be used far state highways and major regional road projects. The Coachella Valley area is served by few state highways. The proposed Regional Arterial System developed through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments would function much like state highways to address future needs for the area. Of the 55% share, about one -quarter will supplement federal and state funds for the following state highway projects: Cost Range Route Limits Project ($ Millions) Ate 86 Dillon Road to Oasis Construct 4-lane freeway $ 55.7 Rte 111 Ramon to Indio Boulevard Various operational 20.0 improvements All Spaced per standard/all Augment highway call box 1.0 highways funding Contingencies 2.8 TOTAL $ 79.5 The remaining Measure A share of this fund will be used to implement the planned Regional Arterial System. The estimated cost for arterial system improvements will exceed S200 million. The proposed system is to be implemented with a mix of existing funding required from new development, a Uniform Traffic Mitigation Fee which would also be paid by developers from new development. and Measure A funds returned to the Coachella Valley Area. The Uniform Traffic Mitigation Fee schedule shall be established in order to generate at least the equivalent of Measure A funding toward the regional arterial system. It is anticipated that this plan will be implemented through the Coachella Valley Association of Gavemments. The highest priority projects include the Mid -Valley Parkway (from Gene Autry north of Vista China to 1-10 at Monterey), Palm Orive/Gene Autry Trail (from the Mid -Valley Parkway to Oesert Hot Springs), Fred Waring Drive (from Route 111 in Palm Desert to Indio Boulevard), and Jefferson Street (from Avenue 54 to Indio Boulevard). 2. Local Streets and Roads As in Westem Riverside County, over the last 20 years available funds have not kept pace with local streets and roads needn; in the Coachella Valley. Cities and the county are also faced with the problems of an aging system and potholes. The Measure A funds would supplement existing federal, state. and local funds. Local street improvements adjacent to new residential and business developments will continue to be paid for by the developers. The greatest need is for maintenance and rehabilitation of the existing city and county road system. Current resources cover only 259E of the pavement maintenance needs. The Coachella Valley Association of Govemments will play a role in determining allocations to local governments for streets and roads. local streets and roads funds will be provided to Coachella Valley cities and the county if they participate in the uniform Traffic Mitigation lee program to assist in financing the priority Regional Arterial System. If local agencies choose not to levy the additional developer fees. the funds they would otherwise receive far local streets and toads will be added to the Measure A funds for the Regional Arterial System. In addition. the Coachella Valley Association of Governments will have the discretion to provide a portion of these funds to increase funding for specialized transit programs for seniors and handicapped people, bus replacement or other transit programs which may improve air quality. The Coachella Valley Improvement Plan anticipates that from $84 to S96 million of the funds will be available for local streets and roads projects. Allocations of funds to the cities and the County will ba based on a formula weighted 50% on proportionate dwelling units and 50%r on Measure A revenues generated within each jurisdiction. Five year Capital Improvement Programs will be prepared and annually updated within each city and the County with public participation. 3. Discount Fares and More Transit Service for Seniors and Handicapped Discount transit fares for seniors (age 60 and older) and handicapped people are now one-half the normal fare for fixed route transit service for most of the day within the Coachella Valley area. Measure A funds will be used to guarantee reduced fares for 20 years. In addition, Measure A funds will be used to provide further reductions for the truly needy. Funds will be used to expand existing services and implement new services. Ways to do this include providing vans and operating assistance to social service agencies, contracts for evening taxi service for medical purposes, and an outreach program to advise seniors and handicapped people of all available transit services. The intent of this program is to provide service to those with no other means of transportation. Funding far this program would come from $12 million of the retail transaction and use tax funds set aside for specialized transportation programs. 4. Commuter buses. Carpools and Vaapools A systematic program to encourage the use of commuter buses, carpools and vanpools is also proposed for the Coachella Valley. This program would be particularly beneficial to get employees to seasonal jobs in the Desert hospitality industry. It will also improve air quality within the Coachella Valley. The commuter bus component will consist of express buses serving major work locations. The use of carpools and vanpools will also be encouraged by improving computer assisted ridesharing matching programs. encouraging positive incentives by major employers and providing "seed" money for the start up of vanpool groups for initial vehicle purchase. insurance and related costs. Funding for this program would come from the $12 million set aside for specialized transportation programs. 5. Bus replacemeet and More Service Saline Transit Agency does not have enough federal and state funds to replace 183-07 their buses as they wear out Despite continuous maintenance and periodic rehabilitation, the need to replace the fleet within the next 20 years is anticipated. Replacement buses would also meet more stringent air pollution control requirements. Funding may also be needed for additional bus service. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments may provide up to an additional $12 million. PALO VERGE VALLEY The Palo Verde Valley is located en the far eastern side of Riverside County. It is geographically separated and remote from the Westem and Coachella Valley areas. The population within the area is relatively small, and significant growth over the next 20 years is not anticipated. The Palo Verde Valley is served by Interstate 10 as a divided freeway providing adequate connections to more westerly portions of Riverside County and east to Arizona. Increas- ed transit needs can be adequately met from existing available sources. The greatest need within the Palo Verde Valley area is additional funding to maintain and rehabilitate local Streets and roads. All of the $13 million Measure A funds to be retumed to the Palo Verde Valley are to be used for local streets and roads. Funds shall be distributed to the City of Blythe and the County of Riverside by formula. The formula distribution is based 75%on proportionate population and 25% on sales tax revenues generated in each jurisdiction.

Basis for Reruns Estimates Federal and state participation for highway and commuter rail funding is based upon an assumed statewids SI billion annual capacity expanding program. jEx- cluding highway rehabilitation and safety improvement projects.) Riverside County's "70% county minimum" share of this amount is assumed to be about $25 million. Reflecting the need to reserve about 20% of these funds for projects proposed by CalTrans which are not included in this Transportation Improvement Plan, the assumed federal and state funding is about $20 million per year. This is approximately 50% of the highway projects within this Plan. Measure A revenue estimates have not been adjusted to reflect inflation. It is assumed that inflation related revenue increases will be offset by inflating project costs. "Real growth" is assumed to parallel county -wide population growth. Prudent growth rates of the State Department of finance have been used —4.5% to 1990.3.5% to 1995. and 2.5% thereafter. Based upon these factors, total Measure A revenues over the 20 year period are assumed to be about $870 million. L Bases for Cost Estimates All cost estimates within this Improvement Plan ars preliminary and are based on 1988 values. Future costs may increase due to inflation or other factors beyond the control of the Commission. 1988 cost estimates are to be used to determine the proportionate distribution of funds by area and category of transportation program. 3. State Highway lad Commuter Rail Programs a. Eligible state highway project costs include engineering, right-of-way acquisition and long-term leases, and construction. Funds are intended to supplement existing Federal and state sources — not replace them. At minimum, 50% of the funds for the highway projects listed in the Plan should come from state and federal sources. If it is determined that Riverside County is not receiving its lair share of existing funds, sales tax funds may be redirected to other types of transportation needs. b. Commuter Rail projects aro anticipated to be on existing rail lines to Los Angdles and Orange Counties, or internal to Riverside County. If commuter rail service is to occur, railroads must agree to a Plan to use their right-of-way and tracks, an agency for implementation of a multi -county system must be created, funding must be secured for on -going operations if a subsidy is required and state and/or federal and other county funding participation must be secured c. The scope of highway and commuter rail projects to be implemented is to be determined through required environmental analysis and full consideration of alternatives. Public participation during the environmental analysis process is required. d. The Commission shall establish a "State Highway and Commuter Rail Transportation Account" for funding capital expenditures for state highways and commuter rail. This account will consist of 60%of the Measure A funds far the Westem County area and 15% of the funds for the Coachella Valley area. 4. SpeciaGzed Transportation Programs a. Eligible transit programs include special discount fares for seniors and handicapped people, commuter bus services, funding for computer assisted rideshare programs, and "seed' programs to encourage the creation of vanpools. Bus capital replacement and additional bus service may also be an eligible program within the Coachella Valley, subject to a determination of funding by the Coachella Valley Association of Govemments. b. The Commission shall establish a "Specialized Transportation Programs Account" for funding these programs. The Commission shall determine to which public uansportation or specialized transportation service operators, or carpool/vanpool facilitating agencies, shall receive funding assistance. Based on 20 year funding estimates, the amount of funds should be $30.8 million for the Westem County area and $12 million for the Coachella Valley Area. The fund for the Coachella Valley may increase up to an additional $12 million for Sunline Transit Agency capital replacement, at the discretion of the Coachella Valley Association of Govemments. 5. Local Streets and Roads Projects a. Eligible local sueet and road project costs include any engineering, capital or maintenance cost Decisions on projects are to be made by local jurisdictions, but subject to Capital Improvement Program requirements. The first five year program shall be submitted to the Commission by the local agencies by May 1, 1989. b. Annual population estimates used for the distribution formula for the Westem County and Palo Verde Valley areas shall be from the State Oepartment of Finance. Dwelling unit estimates used for the distribution formula for the Coachella Valley shall be from the Riverside County Planning Department. Actual State Board of Equalization retail sales transactions shall be used for the formula in all three areas for cities. The County Planning Department shall estimate the share for each of the unincorporated areas for the three areas, from the total retail sales transactions for the total unincorporated area. c. The Commission shall assure the cities' and county compliance with maintenance of effort funding requirements before allocating funds for local streets and roads. Further, the Commission shall not allocate funds to an 1e3.OS t individual city or the County for local streets and road use within the Coachella Valley area unless the Coachella Valley Association of Governments indicates participation of that agency in the Uniform Traffic Mitigation Fee program necessary for implementation of the planned Regional Arterial System. d. The Commission shall establish a 'local Streets and Roads Program Account" Based on 20 year funding estimates, the amount of funds should be $ 216 million for the Westem County area, and from $ 84 to $96 million for the Coachella Valley Area. 6. Fondieg Flexibirdy and Roadmg to Expedite Program The commission may mats maximum use of available funds by temporarily shifting allocations between geographic areas and transportation purposes. Hovnver, the proportionate shares for areas or the purposes over the 20 year period may not be changed without an amendment to the Improvement Plan as required by law. Shifts may not be made without previous consultation with the affected agencies. The Commission may also use bonds to speed implementation of some projects. Bonding will not be used without first determining that the benefits of an accelerated program outweigh the additional cost of interest on borrowed funds. 7. Informing the Public of local Forge' Support All state highway, commuter rail and regional arterial projects using $ 1 million or more of sales tax revenues shall be signed to inform the public that local voter approved revenues are being used to support the project S.

The outcome was a promise from the board. Safety would be the priority regarding future measure "A" projects. This would put Highway 74 up front according to the deaths and accidents that have occurred on this stretch of dangerous highway. According to the California Highway Patrol, from 1988 through 1997, reported statistics were: 45 Deaths, 1026 Injuries, and 1131 total reported accidents. Not included: Deaths resulting from injuries incurred in these accidents. On January 22, 1992 at Perris High School: Public information meeting; Planned improvements to state route 74 were exhibited. On September 22, 1994 at Temescal High School: Public information meeting; February 1994 Final Project Report of planned improvements to highway 74 was exhibited. Attachment 8 says that peak hours of 1991 statistics were used. Highway speed is planned for 70 M.P.H. This eliminates the opportunity for curbs and gutters according to Cal -Trans. Due to the growth of population along this highway and the future growth coupled with the number of ingress and egress access, makes the idea of 70 M.P.H. ridiculous. For safety, the speed limit should be held at 45 M.P.H. along the complete stretch of the project. This also allows future development and existing communities the ability to develop sidewalks. Pedestrian mobility has been completely ignored throughout this project, along with pull offs for school and R.T.A. buses. Now back to this date, October 1999. R.C.T.C. is still in the planning process, with the promise of a traffic light at Meadowbrook and Greenwald by April 2000. To be fair to Riverside County Transportation Commission, there are two agencies involved here, Riverside County Transportation Commission and Cal -Trans. This traffic light was promised for August 1999, but due to misunderstandings related to acquisition of land, caused by Cal -Trans. negotiations, this delay will undoubtably be the cause of further suffering. Seven months is an unreasonable delay, especially when negotiations originally commenced in June of 1999. Meanwhile, overpasses in Murrieta and Temecula continue, also upgrade to Jefferson to a 6-lane highway, safety upgrade Pull off and buffer on center lane of the 215 from Sun City, and traffic lights going in at places where no record of accidents compares to Greenwald and Highway 74. We are therefore putting everyone who holds elected positions responsible for planning highways on notice that; This issue is above politics and should be considered a major emergency.
