Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer, provided an overview for the revised annual
Investment Policy. At this time, she introduced Dan Wiles, Principal with Fieldman,
Rolapp, and Associates, to comment on the Commission’s due diligent process to update
the policy.
Dan Wiles explained annually the Commission goes through a process of reviewing
investment policy updating and approving it, which is required by the California
Government Code. He discussed the general process of how the Commission receives
input from its investment advisors, they do a consultation and go through the investment
policy and determine whether changes are warranted given where the market stands.
The primary goal is to protect the funds the Commission has, which is the safety element
of it and to protect the liquidity of those funds, and to try to enhance yield with having as
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 5
little impact as possible. Mr. Wiles discussed why the proposal was made consistent with
California Law to add super nationals.
In response to Chair Reed’s inquiry if other jurisdictions and other governmental entities
are making these same changes, Dan Wiles replied some of them are and some of them
are not. Every investment policy is always a reflection of the risk tolerance and sometimes
the amount of funds.
Theresia Trevino explained last week the County Treasurer’s Office amended its
investment policy for the County and the Commission’s investment managers
approached the Commission a few years ago to add super nationals. Based on discussions
with the County the Commission and the County were not ready to do that. She discussed
having a seat at the County’s Investment Oversight Committee based on a recent meeting
there was discussion about the County adding the super nationals so she gained the
comfort that these were appropriate investments to add an eligible investment type.
Commissioner Jan Harnik stated this was discussed at Budget and Implementation
Committee and expressed appreciation staff changed surplus funds to the Commission’s
funds. She referred to the Investment Policy under III – Delegation of Authority and read
the portion of the Executive Director may delegate these duties to his designee and she
suggested changing that to gender neutral.
Theresia Trevino replied it was changed to a designee.
M/S/C (Benoit/Harnik) to:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 18-018, “Resolution of the Riverside County
Transportation Commission Regarding the Revised Investment Policy”;
and
2) Adopt the revised annual Investment Policy.
9. 91 EXPRESS LANES TRAFFIC AND REVENUE STUDY UPDATE
Michael Blomquist, Toll Program Director, stated that he and Sheldon Mar the Consultant
Project Manager with Stantec will jointly present this item. They will summarize the
recent work to update the revenue and traffic study for the Commission’s 91 Express
Lanes. Mr. Blomquist provided details of the presentation, highlighting the following:
• Background – 2012 Traffic and Revenue Study:
o Key element of successful 91 Project financing in 2013
o $1.06 billion total borrowing
o $598 million paid back by tolls
o Rating agencies and capital markets
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 6
• 2018 Traffic and Revenue Study update:
o Passage of six years
o Need for current toll revenue impact analysis
o Inform future Commission decision
o May 9, 2018 Commission approval
• Worked performed since May – Updated Data:
o Employment, population, household formation
o Regional transportation projects
o Regional land development
o Updated corridor traffic volumes
o Actual RCTC 91 Express Lanes traffic and revenue results
o Actual RCTC 91 Express Lanes capacities
o Base case results
o Sensitivity case analyses (what-if scenarios)
At this time, Michael Blomquist stated Sheldon Mar will present and review the key
components of the study including existing performance and traffic in the express lanes
as wells as the key projections of future express lane usage and revenue.
Sheldon Mar presented the 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Study, highlighting the
following areas:
• 91 Express Lanes Performance
o Revenues are higher than originally anticipated
o Average daily traffic: 40,000 vehicles per day
o More congestion than anticipated, lower toll sensitivity
o A chart that depicts the revenue distribution by day of week and time of
day
o Westbound lanes heavily utilized during morning
o Eastbound lanes see lower utilization than westbound lanes, but demand
is strong
• Existing traffic for the westbound and eastbound general purpose lanes
• Existing Traffic: Origins and destinations on the westbound and eastbound SR-91
• Economic growth expectations
o Inland Empire to continue growing by 2040
o A long term forecast
o Tied to regional expectations
o An in-depth view of the local economy
• Traffic and revenue forecast
o FY 2025 revenue $73.6 million
o Revenue 54 percent higher than FY 2018 levels, +6.3 percent/year from
2018
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 7
o Revenue grows +6.7 percent/year through 2040, +4 percent/year through
2066
o 15/91 ELC, Eastbound Extension, 241/91 EDC, SR-71 improvements in near
term (2022)
o Assumes County Line widened by 1-lane per direction in 2035
o Revenue to continue exceeding prior forecast by approximately $30
million/year through 2035 – below original forecast by 2058
• Impact of constructing Option “4M” and impact of accelerating ultimate project
to 2028
o Option “4M” – add westbound general purpose lane
o Toll revenue loss compared to 2018 base case
o Toll revenue gain compared to 2012 forecast
• Impact of charging HOV3+ half-toll on westbound express lanes, 5:00 a.m. – 8:00
a.m.
o OCTA and RCTC 91 Express Lanes are toll-free to HOV3+, zero-emission
vehicles, disabled vets, and disabled persons except 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
on eastbound express lanes (50 percent toll)
o Premise – eastbound express utilization is high, tolls needed to control
traffic
o RCTC westbound express traffic at or near eastbound express levels from
5:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m., tolls near $20
o Implementing a half toll from 5:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. would: Reduce HOV
utilization by 40 percent from 5:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.; Reduce full toll rates
and increase full toll traffic; Increase revenue by 0.2 percent in 2025, and
+2.2 percent in 2040; and charging HOV half-toll may reduce HOV violators
• Summary of findings – Base case revenue would continue to exceed original
expectations; Option 4M: Widening of the westbound 91 general purpose lanes
would reduce 2018 base case revenue, but still exceed original 2012 expectations;
Accelerated ultimate project: widening both the eastbound and westbound 91
general purpose lanes at the County Line would reduce revenue; and
implementing 50 percent discounted toll from 5:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. would reduce
HOV-3+ traffic, reduce overall tolls, and increase revenue
At this time, Mr. Mar stated Mr. Blomquist will discuss the use of the toll revenue.
Michael Blomquist stated there are several major categories that describe the
Commission’s use of the toll revenue, he highlighted the following:
• Use of Revenue:
o Prescribed by 91 Project debt financing agreements (2013): Annual
operations and maintenance; lifetime repair and replacement of
pavement and toll technology; Toll bonds and TIFIA loan; and early
payback of TIFIA loan
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 8
• Any remaining funds (surplus) prescribed by California statute: Used for any
transportation purpose; spent within the corridor from which it was generated;
and the Commission to approve use of surplus funds
In response to Commissioner Wes Speake’s inquiry the borrowing and the payback is
based on the 2012 study, Michael Blomquist confirmed that is correct.
In response to Commissioner Speake’s clarification about the expenses and if they are
coming in near where they were projected in 2012, Michael Blomquist replied they are in
fact slightly less, so the Commission is doing well on the expense side.
In response to Commissioner Speake’s inquiry about the I-15 Connector project and asked
if there is a percentage of vehicles identified of what is going to pull from the general
purpose lanes to the toll lanes, Michael Blomquist clarified for example taking the SR-91
eastbound to I-15 northbound and using the new toll connector versus a general purpose
lane connector. Mr. Blomquist stated staff does not have those numbers but it is
something that can be provided.
Commissioner Speake stated he wondered how that would lessen the use of the general
purpose lanes.
Michael Blomquist explained those projects that Sheldon Mar mentioned including the I-
15 Connector project are in fact part of the study results, so all the data and all the traffic
operations result reflects that project being built in the next couple of years.
In response to Commissioner Speake’s inquiry when the Commission is discussing
resetting this baseline to 2018 and the expenses are lower is the Commission going to be
engaging new projects against this 2018 revenue baseline, Michael Blomquist replied that
would be up to the Commission on how to use the baseline. Staff is proposing to adopt
the study results and therefore establish a new revenue baseline going forward.
Commissioner Brian Berkson referred to the Existing Traffic: Origins and Destinations slide
and stated as far as adding that sixth general purpose lane is obviously the right approach.
He explained this is a great example at Serfas Club Drive it is at 14 percent and at Green
River Road it is 12 percent, which is about 25 percent of the traffic being added. He noted
with that sixth lane 20 percent is being added so it is still not recouping the extra traffic.
He expressed that area is one of the biggest congestion points right after Serfas Club Drive
up to the SR-241. Commissioner Berkson expressed the Commission needs to be cost
effective for the Commission’s obligations but also this needs to be affordable to all the
residents that use it. He discussed the HOV3+ lane issue with the violators and suggested
staff look at options.
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 9
Chair Reed replied this is going to be on the agenda at the Commission’s Annual Workshop
in January 2019.
Commissioner Berkson expressed appreciation and stated perhaps staff can bring these
things to the Commissioners at that time. He referred to the eastbound toll lane as there
is some infrared type device and asked if staff could present at the workshop what this
device does and how it can be utilized to issue citations in the mail.
Michael Blomquist replied as part of the I-15 Express Lanes project staff chose to look at
piloting an infrared HOV detection system. Staff took the advantage the Commission
operates the 91 express lanes and implemented on that testing ground in order to come
back and provide an update to what that looks like and what has been done at the Annual
Commission Workshop.
Commissioner Berkson expressed appreciation and questioned the legalities as to
whether the Commission can issue citations, which he is requesting staff to bring that to
the workshop as well. He also suggested if the Commission could line up about 20
California Highway Patrol Officers and all the vehicles that went through the HOV3+ was
slowed down and issued citations then those people would not repeat that bad behavior.
Chair Reed reiterated these topics can be discussed at the Annual Commission Workshop.
Stanley Hill, a Corona resident, explained doing calculations associated with the traffic
and during a three-hour period in the morning in the general purpose lanes the
Commission is spending the resident’s time at a rate of about $100,000 to $200,000. He
expressed those funds should be considered in any kind of economic analysis that is being
prepared.
At this time, Commissioner Randall Bonner stepped out of the meeting.
John Donaldson, a Corona resident, explained being familiar with what Stanley Hill spoke
about. He referred to the 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Study and stated the
study had immense amount of detail, the charts and graphs help understand that
challenge especially for those commuters that do not drive in that area regularly. He
suggested the study should include what is the average income of employer/employees
that are stuck on the freeway and the cost per hour for lost productivity and their quality
of life issues. Mr. Donaldson expressed concern there was no information in the study if
it takes into account growth in San Bernardino County, but it is going to be expansive with
the warehouses in Western San Bernardino County. He also suggested better entrance
for the HOV2+ lanes off the city streets in Corona.

At this time, Commissioner Andrew Kotyuk joined the meeting.
Dale Ploung, a Corona resident, expressed to expedite this as quickly as possible. As soon
as the 91 Express Lanes project opened, the traffic times became worse from day one.
He stated the express lanes does not just affect the traffic on the freeway it affects the
access roads. He referred to the photos he took on Pine Crest with 300 vehicles going
down the wrong side of the road, expressed the impacts in this area, and on Green River
is horrific. Mr. Ploung referred to the 12 percent potential loss in revenue and suggested
the Commission takes into consideration the loss of quality of life of the residents in this
area that cannot even get out of their neighborhoods.
Stanley Hill, representing the Board of the Mountain View Civic Association, expressed
support on the urgency associated with this project and making the connection between
Green River and the SR-241. He requested anything that can be done to assist in
alleviating the bottleneck in that area would be appreciated.
Dean Stamp, a Corona resident, expressed concern for the cut through traffic in their
residential streets of commuters trying to get onto SR-91 as it presents a safety risk to the
children and parents walking to schools in the neighborhood. He expressed support for
the general purpose lane from Green River to SR-241 and stated he hopes this will help
reduce the cut through traffic over time, create a safer neighborhood, and improve the
quality of life.
Don Fuller, a Corona resident, expressed there seems to be a lot of effort put into the
money issues of these tolls, but the real issue is transportation how to move people back
and forth with a minimum loss of time. He discussed the traffic congestion issues at the
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 12
Green River westbound onramp in early morning and the issues for waiting until 2021 for
the general purpose lane to be completed. Mr. Fuller express this has to be expedited
and it has to be done very quickly.
Amie Kinne, a Temescal Valley resident, expressed support for the Option 4M project but
only in favor of moving forward with the study if there is intention of building the project.
She referred to the January Commission Workshop and suggested the Commission place
an agenda item on the workshop agenda to include lessons learned and what to do to
avoid some of the problems when working on I-15 South Express Lanes project. Ms. Kinne
expressed concern Temescal Valley has the same type of geographic constraints such as
Green River and the placement of those entrances and exits for the I-15 South Express
Lanes project could have the same potential bottleneck problem and reiterated it would
be an appropriate agenda item for the workshop.
Karen Alexander, supporting Greater Corona Traffic Alliance (GCTA), expressed
appreciation for the corrections and the efforts put in by staff. She referred to the 2019
through 2035 revenue impacts with the lane addition and discussed the impacts that
delay would be. There is a situation in Corona with the consequences of a scaled back
project, the magnitude of negativity and the quality of life is huge, which led to a citizens
based group the GCTA. Ms. Alexander stated the GCTA energized the residents to push
back and get this resolved. She requested the Commission help make this better to get
their quality of life put back together.
Michele Wentworth, representing the GCTA, expressed appreciation to the Commission
for moving forward with this. She stated the Commission and Caltrans have touted the
91 Project as a big success and there are many successes here. She explained for the
Corona residents the definition of success depends on whether you live east of the project
or live in Corona. She requested on behalf of GCTA the Commission looks at Green River,
as there is 1.4 miles they travel in 30 minutes to get on the auxiliary freeway. She
expressed concern for the traffic coming down SR-91, I-15, Lincoln Avenue, and SR-71 at
Green River as all those vehicles are weaving to the left to enter the toll and vehicles are
exiting the toll, which creates a delay. Ms. Wentworth stated adding this capacity benefits
the entire freeway and their commute. She suggested the Commission consider this
carefully, support this project moving forward, and fund it as soon as possible and not
wait until 2035 or shelf it.
Matt Woody, a Corona resident, expressed appreciation to the Commission for having
this item on the agenda as it has a possibility to make a big difference for all the Western
Riverside County residents, the residents in the central and those in the east that travel
to the western part of the County. He explained in speaking with numerous residents in
Western Riverside County they expressed concern about traffic and very few residents
saw much benefit from the 91 Project when it opened in March 2017. Mr. Woody
explained there is the opportunity to approve this auxiliary lane and not only will it make
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 13
a big difference he suggested the timetable with the 2021 completion date be pushed for
a quicker implementation of this project. He stated the cost is $42 million but the 91
express lanes has produced revenues beyond comprehension since the project opened
and that $42 million should already be set aside to apply toward this and move quickly.
At this time, Commissioner Adam Rush left the meeting.
Chair Reed expressed appreciation to the public speakers for their very important
testimony and stated their message was heard loud and clear by all the Commissioners.
Chair Reed noted there were approximately 60 written public comments received by the
Commissioners on this item.
Commissioner Speake expressed appreciation to staff and the Commission for pushing
this forward. He explained he repeatedly told people what a miracle this was to get two
projects done in less than a year and expressed gratitude to staff and Anne Mayer for
pushing up this project fast, as this is important. Commissioner Speake explained how
different people in parts of the County told him it is nice to get a $1.4 billion project in
your city and if you inquire the residents in Corona, they will not agree. Commissioner
Speake stated this project is not a Corona project however, it did benefit it in some ways
but it really is a connection for the entire western part of the County since it funnels
through SR-91. He expressed appreciation for implementing and getting this project onto
this next step and stated he would like to discuss the priority at some point.
Commissioner Bob Magee explained hearing a lot of discussion about loss of revenue and
the obligation of this Commission is to meet the financial obligations and to improve the
quality of life. Commissioner Magee discussed Don Fuller’s comment about the
Commission taking longer to complete this then the Nation’s complete involvement in
World War II. He expressed how did the Commission get so backwards is due to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that Legislation passed, which is now being
abused and that is what has derailed the Commission. He suggested the GCTA focus their
energy and become a force to move things forward. He suggested one way to eliminate
this massive amount of time would be to lobby the Governor elect to sign an executive
order to exempt this project from CEQA. Commissioner Magee expressed if this
Commission does not follow CEQA the Commission will be sued and the project will come
to a halt. He explained how Supervisor Elect Karen Spiegel was a tireless supporter to
work on solutions to rectify this massive issue and her last words to the Commission was
to move this issue forward and he supports her efforts and staff’s recommendations.
Commissioner Tavaglione expressed appreciation for Commissioners Magee and
Speake’s comments as this is a critical project and stated the Commission cannot stop
where it was left off with SR-91 with the expansion it needs to be finished. He stated
populations are only going to continue to grow in Riverside County, which means more
people will be traveling and working in Orange County until economic development and
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 14
employers in the region Orange County and Los Angeles Counties decide that it is time for
them to be here for the benefit of their employees. He expressed for those that have
discussed moratoriums in order to have a moratorium every city in the west end of the
County has to agree or it will not make any sense. He concurred with Commissioner
Magee’s comments about Supervisor Elect Spiegel who will do tremendous work as her
passion is there and he requested to move approval of this agenda item.
M/S/C (Baca/Vargas) to:

11. AMENDMENT TO SUNLINE TRANSIT AGENCY’S FISCAL YEAR 2018/19 SHORT RANGE
TRANSIT PLAN
Lorelle Moe-Luna, Acting Multimodal Services Director, presented details for the
amendment to SunLine Transit Agency’s (SunLine) Fiscal Year 2018/19 Short Range
Transit Plan (SRTP). At this time, she welcomed and introduced Rudy LeFlore, SunLine’s
Chief Project Consultant, who will provide additional details on this amendment request.
Rudy LeFlore provided an overview of the changes to the SRTP and then summarized what
is being done with the changes. Mr. LeFlore noted many of the resources that come to
SunLine do not flow through the Commission although the changes need to be reflected
in SunLine’s planning. He clarified with the additions SunLine is still less than the 15
percent threshold that is recognized in the TDA law.
Riverside County Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes
December 12, 2018
Page 15
At this time, Commissioners Jeffries and Tavaglione left the meeting.
In response to Commissioner Ben Benoit’s inquiry about the electrolyzer that is being put
in if it will have a publicly accessible hydrogen as well, Mr. LeFlore replied that is Phase II
and this is Phase I and they are putting in place the infrastructure to allow that to happen
but the grant funds SunLine received from ARB did not cover that. SunLine is collaborating
with commercial entities such as Toyota to try to make that a realization for a 700 bar
dispensing capability and it will be publicly accessible.
Commissioner Lloyd White inquired about the additional $2.9 million in capital funds for
the capital expenses, stating he understands Mr. LeFlore’s comment about the additional
funds SunLine received from the FTA and how that approval comes through the
Commission. He referred to the $2.9 million and asked if Mr. LeFlore was aware of those
improvements SunLine needed to do when the amended SRTP was submitted for the
Commission to approve.
Mr. LeFlore replied after these amendments SunLine will still have $7 million in reserves.
He explained what was undertaken at the direction of the CEO and supported by the
Board is for SunLine to upgrade certain infrastructures that needed some repair in the
facility. He stated with respect to the hydrogen program no SunLine did not as the
hydrogen program itself required from IID certain investments in infrastructure that had
not been anticipated at the time. That infrastructure is going to not only cover the
infrastructure the electrolyzer but also other projects that are ongoing on SunLine’s
campus. Mr. LeFlore stated SunLine also set aside some funding for upgrade of SunLine’s
Indio facility for operator efficiency.
Commissioner White clarified what portion of the $2.9 million was SunLine aware of when
the SRTP was submitted what portion of those improvements could have been provided
for with the original SRTP that would not require an amendment today.
Mr. LeFlore replied out of capital one of the things that operators have the discretion to
do is to set aside capital funds and try to mask those funds or they can take care of what
they can address with immediate funding. He explained while there may have been a
larger scale capital vision it was decided to address the capital needs immediately with
those funds.
M/S/C (Betts/Berkson) to:
1) Approve a modification to SunLine Transit Agency’s (SunLine) Fiscal Year
2018/19 operating assistance funding by amending the original amount
of $38,900,991 to $39,654,404 to reflect additional operating expenses
and revenues for the West Coast Center of Excellence funded with
federal Section 5309 pass-through funds from the Center for

AGENDA ITEM 7A
Agenda Item 7A
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the Quarterly Financial Statements for the
three months ended September 30, 2018.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the first three months of the fiscal year, staff monitored the revenues and expenditures
of the Commission. The first quarter of the fiscal year is primarily directed toward completing
fiscal year-end closing activities for the prior year. Staff expects most of the categories to present
a more realistic outlook beginning in the second quarter.
The operating statement shows the sales tax revenues for the first quarter at 7 percent of the
budget. This is a result of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for nonexchange Transactions. GASB Statement No. 33
requires sales tax revenues to be accrued for the period in which it is collected at the point of
destination or sale, as applicable. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration
(CDTFA) collects the Measure A funds and remits these funds to the Commission after the
reporting period for the businesses. This creates a two-month lag in the receipt of revenues by
the Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements reflect the revenues related to
collections for July 2018.
On a cash basis, the Measure A and Local Transportation Fund (LTF) sales tax receipts are 3.73
and 7.17 percent lower, respectively, then the same period last fiscal year. This is inconsistent
with staff’s tracking of Measure A and LTF revenues. As reported by staff to the Commission in
November 2018, the CDTFA implemented a new centralized revenue opportunity system and
experienced problems in the delay of sales tax return processing. This had a direct impact on the
Fiscal Year 2017/18 year-end revenue accruals and cash receipts, and receipts will continue to
reflect fluctuating cash payments received by the Commission through FY 2018/19 by CDTFA.
(For instance, Measure A and LTF receipts through November in the second quarter are 113.8
percent and 111.9 percent higher than the same period last year.) The CDTFA has been
responsive and committed to resolving the issues and expects to catch up on the unprocessed
1
Agenda Item 7A
sales tax returns by December 2018. Staff will continue to monitor the trends in the sales tax
receipts and report to the Commission any necessary adjustments.
Federal, state, and local reimbursements are generally on a reimbursement basis. The
Commission will receive these revenues as eligible project costs are incurred and invoiced to the
respective agencies. The negative revenue amounts for federal and state reimbursements reflect
the reversal of FY 2017/18 accrued revenues at the beginning of FY 2018/19 in excess of amounts
billed during the first quarter. Reimbursement invoices for expenditures for the first quarter will
be prepared and submitted in the second quarter.
During the FY 2018/19 budget process, the Commission conservatively estimated Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues of $21 million passed through from the Western
Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG). The Commission did not receive TUMF receipts
during the first quarter. Staff expects TUMF receipts beginning in the second quarter. The
budgeted balance of $1.9 million relates to TUMF zone reimbursements from WRCOG for the
Interstate 15 interchange at Railroad Canyon in the city of Lake Elsinore.
Toll revenues budgeted at $32 million represents projected toll transactions for the RCTC 91
Express Lanes operations based on estimated toll transactions and current traffic and revenue
data. The operating statement shows toll revenues at 38 percent of the budget and toll violations
and fee revenues at 47 percent of the budget. The RCTC 91 Express Lanes toll transactions have
exceeded initial expectations; accordingly, the Commission’s traffic consultant recently updated
the investment grade traffic and revenue study, which will be used in subsequent budgets.
The operating statement shows other revenues at 284 percent of the $539,000 budget and
reflects the sale of highway property and the reimbursement for property drainage
improvements on Commission-owned properties.
The Commission took a conservative approach in estimating investment income for FY 2018/19.
Investment income is higher in the first quarter primarily as a result of rising investment yields
and investment of sales tax revenue bond proceeds.
The expenditures/expenses and other financing sources/uses categories are in line overall with
the expectations of the budget with the following exceptions:
• Professional services are under budget primarily due to unused budget authority for rail
operations and development activities, highway general legal services, toll operations,
public outreach activities, and audit and sales tax consultant fees;
• Program operations are under budget due to unused budget authority for the I-15 Express
Lanes and Pachappa Underpass projects, toll operations, motorist and commuter
assistance program operations, highway and rail program management, and station
security;
• The status of significant Commission capital projects with budget amounts exceeding
$5 million is discussed in the attachment;
2
Agenda Item 7A
• Special studies unused budget authority relates to feasibilities studies;
• Local streets and roads are related to the timing of Measure A sales tax revenues. These
financial statements reflect the collections through July 2018;
• Regional arterial expenditures primarily represent expenditures for the highways and
regional arterial program administered by the Coachella Valley Association of
Governments (CVAG). CVAG requests reimbursements from the Commission based on
available funds and sufficient budget authority;
• Debt service principal payments are made annually on June 1, while debt service interest
payments are made semiannually on December 1 and June 1. On a quarterly basis, the
Commission records accrued interest on the SR-91 Project Transportation Infrastructure
Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan and the 2013 Toll Revenue Bonds Series B (capital
appreciation) in the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Enterprise Fund accounting records. However,
$5.2 million of the $7.0 million interest cost for the first quarter will not be paid in the
current year and therefore not included in the FY 2018/19 budget;
• Payment to escrow agent unused budget authority relates to $20 million of toll-operation
surplus revenues for deposit to the 2013 TIFIA loan reserve fund as required by June 30,
2019, under the TIFIA loan agreement;
• Capital outlay expenditures are under budget due to unused budget authority for office
and property improvements for the I-15 Express Lanes project, station rehabilitation, toll
operations office improvements and transponders, and Commission office, network,
hardware, and software improvements;
• Depreciation is recorded as part of the accrual adjustments in the RCTC 91 Express Lanes
Enterprise Fund accounting records, however such depreciation is not paid and therefore
not included in the FY 2018/19 budget;
• Loss on sale of land is recorded as part of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes Enterprise Fund
accounting records and reflects the loss on sale of excess land purchased for the SR-91
Project. Loss on sale of land is not a cash-related item and, therefore, is not included in
the FY 2018/19 budget;
• The Commission entered into a loan agreement with the U.S. Department of
Transportation for a $152.5 million TIFIA loan to pay eligible I-15 Express Lanes project
costs. Proceeds of the TIFIA loan may be drawn upon after certain conditions have been
met. Through the first quarter, the Commission drew down $0 in TIFIA loan proceeds.
During construction of the I-15 Express Lanes project and for a period of up to five years
following substantial completion, interest is compounded and added to the TIFIA loan.
TIFIA debt service payments are expected to commence June 2025, which is
approximately five years after substantial completion of the I-15 Express Lanes project,
through 2055.

BUDGET
1st QUARTER
EXPENDITURES
Project Description Project Status
91 Project (P003028) $28,758,100 ($574,228) The Design-Build contract achieved substantial completion on March
20, 2017. The Systems Integration and Implementation Contract
retention was released on January 4, 2018. The Commission has
remitted all of the $42 million final settlement to the Design-Builder; the
only remaining costs are for the plant establishment period. The
Certificate of Final Acceptance was issued to the Design-Builder on
March 15, 2018. The under run of the FY 2018/19 budget at the first
quarter is due to an accrual reversal for the Army Corps of Engineers
Reach 9 project ($2 million) and future right of way (ROW) settlement
costs that have not yet occurred.
The project connects with Orange County
Transportation Authority’s tolled express lanes at the
Orange County/Riverside County line and continues
approximately eight miles to the Interstate (I)-15/State
Route (SR)-91 interchange. The project involves
widening pavement on the outside of the existing
highway to reposition general purpose lanes and
repurposing the existing high occupancy vehicle lanes
to accommodate two-tolled express lanes in the
median in each direction. The 91 Project also involves
constructing one new general purpose lane in each
direction from SR-71 to I-15, ultimately providing two-
tolled express lanes and five general purpose lanes in
each direction. 91 Project development activities
began in September 2007, construction work related to
roadway and structures began in July 2014, and the toll
lanes opened in March 2017. The total acquisition and
construction cost of the 91 Project is estimated at $1.4
billion, including capitalized interest, debt service
reserves, contingency, and cost of issuance.
I-15 Express Lanes project (P003027) 152,864,800 16,144,382 The toll services provider (TSP) contract was awarded in January
2017, the Design-Build contract was awarded in April 2017, and the
project financing was completed in July 2017. A project office in
Corona opened in August 2017. Overall design is approximately 98%
complete and construction is approximately 19% complete. The
construction and maintenance agreement with Burlington Northern
Santa Fe Railway was executed on September 28, 2018. Roadway
work continued on the Norco and Eastvale segments. Construction
continued on the Second and Third Street bridges. All ROW was
acquired and delivered to the Design-Builder. The under run of the FY
2018/19 budget at the first quarter is due to under runs in the Design-
Build contract ($16 million), the project construction and management
(PCM) contract ($2 million), and the TSP contract ($2 million).
The project will generally add two tolled express lanes
in each direction from SR-60 to Cajalco Road in

15/91 Express Lanes Connector (P003039) 55,809,800 4,849,931 In October 2017 the Commission approved an amendment to the
existing I-15 PCM contract for ELC project approval and environmental
document work. In November 2017 the Commission approved a
contract with WSP USA, Inc. for ELC project management services.
In January 2018 the Commission approved an amendment to the
existing I-15 PCM contract for ELC PCM support. From April to June
2018 the Commission approved one amendment and two change
orders to the existing Design-Builder contract for preliminary ELC
design and geotech work. In March 2018 the Commission approved a
change order to the existing TSP contract for ELC tolling software
support. In July 2018 the Commission approved a change order to the
existing TSP contract to install lane side equipment on SR-91. The
under run of the FY 2018/19 budget at the first quarter is due to an
under run in the Design-Build contract ($6 million).
The 15/91 Express Lane Connector (ELC) project
constructs an express lanes median direct connector
from southbound I-15 to westbound SR-91 and from
eastbound SR-91 to northbound I-15 in the city of
Corona. The project also adds tolled-express lanes in
each direction of I-15 from the 15/91 ELC to Hidden
Valley Parkway; adds a tolled-express lane in each
direction of SR-91 from east of Lincoln Avenue to the
15/91 ELC; extends the tolled-express lane along
eastbound SR-91 from I-15 to west of Promenade
Avenue; and extends eastbound auxiliary lane along
SR-91 from west of I-15 to west of Promenade Avenue.
The project also includes the addition of a toll collection
system infrastructure along I-15 and SR-91. The
estimated project cost is $180 million and the project is
partially funded by state funds allocated under Senate
Bill (SB) 132 legislation. The connector is expected to
open to traffic in 2022.
I-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension (P003044) 5,061,300 9,706 In September 2017 the Commission approved the allocation of $50
million of 2018 STIP funds to the I-15 Express Lanes Southern
Extension Project. Advertising the Request for Qualifications for the
completion of the Project Approval and Environmental Document work
phase is planned for November 2018, with the intent to award a
contract to the selected firm in April 2019.
The project will add express lanes between SR-74 and
Cajalco Road. The estimated project cost is $544
million with the Project Approval and Environmental
Document phase of work funded by state funds
allocated under SB 1 State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) funds.
91 Corridor Operations Project (P623046) 6,000,000 71,765 I-15 northbound 91 Express Lanes ingress restriping is complete. SR-
91 restriping at the County line is scheduled for mid-November 2018.
Commission approval is required for westbound general purpose lane
construction from the Green River Road on-ramp to SR-241 (91 WB
Option 4M).
The project will construct several operational
improvements along the SR-91 including I-15
northbound 91 Express Lanes ingress and SR-91
westbound general purpose lane improvements at the
County Line. The estimated project cost is $6 million
and the project is funded by surplus toll revenues.
Mid County Parkway (P002302, P612302, P612320,
& P612317) 5,390,500 89,623 The Commission approved the procurement for final design of the I-
215/Placentia Interchange in November 2016, and notice to proceed
was issued the same month. Staff continues to work on the approval
of the Compensatory Mitigation Plan with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Staff continues the work on the Cultural Landscape Study
for cultural resources mitigation. The Commission has acquired most
of the mitigation land needed for the project. In July 2018 the
Commission approved the procurement for final design of the
Sweeney mitigation land. Staff continues to work on identifying the
remaining mitigation land needed. Staff continues to work with state
and federal agencies on permitting packages for the first construction
contract. On June 29, 2018 settlement was reached with plaintiffs
challenging the environmental document.
The environmental document for a new corridor from I-
215 to SR-79 was approved in April 2015. The first
design package is anticipated to be completed in FY
2018/2019. Construction of this new facility will be
completed over many years as funding becomes
available; the project cost is estimated at $1.3 to $1.6
billion.

upgrade existing shoulders to standard widths. The
estimated project cost is $138 million, and the project
is funded by Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality,
STIP/Regional Improvement Program, State Highway
Operation and Protection Program, and 2009 Measure
A highway funds.
71/91 Connector Project (P003021) 9,445,900 273,177 Currently, construction is on hold until a funding source for construction
is identified. Staff met with Southern California Association
Government’s Transportation Conformity Working Group to confirm
the project is not a project of air quality concern. Staff continues to
coordinate with Southern California Gas to relocate a high pressure
gas line due to a conflict. Staff is also working with the last property
owner where permanent rights are required as well as the agencies
where temporary rights are required to close out the ROW phase.
The project includes right of way acquisition, utility
relocation, and begin environmental revalidation work
for improvements to the 71/91 connector. The

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Amendment to Agreement with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority
for the Relocation of a Brine Line for the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement
Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 18-31-149-01, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement
No. 18-31-149-00 with the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) for additional
costs related to the relocation of a brine line for the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement
Project (91 Project) for an additional amount of $11,000, for a total amount not to exceed
$86,000; and
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the amendment on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In June 2018, the Commission approved Agreement No. 18-31-149-00 with the Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) in the amount of $68,400, plus a contingency amount of
$6,600, for a total amount not to exceed $75,000, for the relocation of an existing SAWPA brine
line that was previously impacted by the 91 Project.
The 91 Project (see Figure 1) required the relocation of numerous utilities in conflict with the 91
Project improvements. One such instance was the “undergrounding” of a Southern California
Edison (SCE) overhead distribution line in the SR-91/Interstate 15 interchange area. Due to
various constraints and the need to proceed without causing a delay to the 91 Project, it was
agreed by SAWPA that the underground portion of the SCE facility could be placed temporarily
to within one foot of an existing SAWPA brine line. SAWPA agreed to accept this alignment for
the SCE line provided the Commission agree to fund the relocation of the 150 foot impacted
portion of the brine line at a future date.
SAWPA recently completed the relocation for a total cost of $86,000, which exceeds the original
contract value of $68,400 by $17,600. SAWPA provided staff with a detailed breakdown of the
total costs for the relocation, and staff concurs with the costs. The additional costs will be

Agenda Item 7B
funded with unused contingency of $6,600 previously authorized by the Commission and, if
approved, Commission authorization for an additional $11,000 under this item.

BASIS FOR ADDITIONAL COSTS
SAWPA commenced and completed the Work within the established timeline at a cost of
$85,462.42 which is above the original budget of $68,400. SAWPA is requesting an increase
of the budget of 24.9% to account for the following costs:
1. Damage to one electrofusion coupling during the morning of November 14, 2018; and
2. Request by the Caltrans Inspector to slurry backfill the trench rather than using native
material to compact.
Due to these two reasons, SAWPA had to incur additional costs in materials and labor. SAWPA
completed the Work using rental equipment and its own staff. The design was also prepared by
SAWPA staff, as well as project oversight.
SAWPA has submitted invoices to the Commission substantiating the Additional Costs, which
are on file at the offices of the Commission.

Agenda Item 7C
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Michael Blomquist, Toll Program Director
Stephanie Blanco, Capital Projects Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Cooperative Agreement with the California Department of Transportation
District 8 for Project Approval/Environmental Document Phase of the
Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project - Southern Extension
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Award Agreement No. 19-31-032-00, a cooperative agreement between the
Commission and the California Department of Transportation, District 8 (Caltrans) for
the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project-Southern Extension (I-15 ELPSE);
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and
3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
all future necessary non-funding interagency agreements on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The I-15 ELPSE proposes to add two express lanes in each direction on Interstate 15 from
Cajalco Road to State Route 74 (Central Avenue). See Attachment 1 for a vicinity map. The
purpose of the project is to:
• Improve traffic operations and travel times for general purpose lane users;
• Expand travel choices with the addition of express lanes and carpooling;
• Increase travel time reliability for all corridor users; and
• Provide travel time savings and travel time certainty for express lane users.
At its September 2017 meeting, the Commission approved the I-15 ELPSE as one of three
project recommendations to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for the 2018 State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). In March 2018, the CTC approved $50 million of
STIP funding to be used for the project approval/environmental document (PA/ED)
development phase of the I-15 ELPSE.
16
Agenda Item 7C
On November 7, 2018, staff issued a Request for Qualifications to solicit qualified consultants to
conduct preliminary engineering and environmental studies to support the preparation of a
project report and environmental document. Staff will be evaluating qualified consultants in
early 2019 and anticipates bringing a contract award recommendation to the Commission's
May 2019 meeting.
Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans
To proceed with the PA/ED phase of the I-15 ELPSE, the Commission must enter into a
cooperative agreement with Caltrans (Attachment 2), the owner and operator of the State
Highway System. Execution of the agreement allows Caltrans to identify a funding source for
staff efforts and continued work on the I-15 ELPSE. The following are some key provisions of
this cooperative agreement:
• The Commission, as the project sponsor and implementing agency, shall be responsible
for establishing the project scope, securing funding for the PA/ED work, and managing
the scope, cost, schedule, and quality of the PA/ED work activities;
• Caltrans shall perform quality management of the PA/ED work to ensure compliance
with applicable standards and regulations and will issue/obtain the necessary approvals
for work within the existing and proposed State Highway System right of way;
• Caltrans will be the lead agency for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA);
• Caltrans will review and approve any public notices and attend meetings related to
CEQA/NEPA requirements;
• Caltrans will be responsible for all costs related to its efforts to complete quality
management and CEQA/NEPA lead agency activities;
• A defined dispute resolution process is included to address issues that cannot be
resolved at the Project Development Team level; and
• Both parties will ensure cooperation for the duration of the PA/ED development phase
and timely completion of work activities and identify schedule risks as soon as they
arise.
Staff seeks Commission approval of the cooperative agreement and authorization for the Chair
or Executive Director to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission. There is no direct
cost related to this cooperative agreement.
Interagency Agreements
During the PA/ED and future work phases, communication and coordination will be key with
project stakeholders. Specifically, certain project stakeholders may be directly impacted by the
project. These impacts may require the Commission to obtain an agreement, secure a project
approval, or obtain a permit or license from a project stakeholder. For these project
stakeholders, the Commission will be negotiating interagency agreements during the PA/ED
17
Agenda Item 7C
phase and future work phases. Interagency agreements are anticipated with, but not limited,
to the following agencies: Caltrans, United States Army Corps of Engineers, United States Fish
and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Riverside County Flood Control
and Water Conservation Agency, Regional Water Quality Control Board, County of Riverside,
city of Corona, and city of Lake Elsinore. Staff seeks Commission authorization for the Chair or
Executive Director to execute all future necessary non-funding interagency agreements on
behalf of the Commission.

AGENDA ITEM 7D
Agenda Item 7D
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Marlin Feenstra, Project Delivery Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Policy for Commission-Funded Landscape and Aesthetics
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 19-001, “Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation
Commission Regarding the Policy for Commission-Funded Landscape and Aesthetics”;
and
2) Adopt a policy on the appropriate level of landscape and aesthetics costs for Commission-
funded projects.
Background
The Mid County Parkway (MCP) and the State Route 79 Realignment projects represent about
23 miles of new freeway, containing about 18 new local interchanges, two freeway-to-freeway
system interchanges, and modification of one existing interchange. Landscaping and aesthetics
will be a component of each of these projects. Each of these projects or project segments will
require scoping of the landscape and aesthetic improvements, in coordination with the
applicable local agency and in conformance with Caltrans and FHWA policies on landscape scope,
maintenance and cost.
Staff now recommends a policy be adopted to guide decisions on the appropriate level of funding
for landscape and aesthetic features on future capital projects. A policy to govern the scope and
cost of landscaping and aesthetic features to be added to Commission-funded capital projects is
good policy because:
1) It will set a fair, reasonable, and equitable budget for landscape and aesthetics, based on
past project aesthetic and landscape costs in the county;
2) It will provide more predictability of the cost of the landscape and aesthetics portion of
future projects;
3) It will comply with environmental commitment mitigation measures;
4) It will maximize the use of limited Commission Measure A funds for build-out of both MCP
and SR-79 Realignment projects and other future capital projects; and
5) It will provide a suitable level of landscape and aesthetic treatments to enhance future
projects, and it will allow local agencies flexibility to allow for additional landscaping and
aesthetics.
40
Agenda Item 7D
Comparable Projects
Staff compared the cost of landscape and aesthetics on several recent interchange projects in
the County to the overall costs of those projects. The following table summarizes the results:
Project Construction Cost Landscaping &
Aesthetic Cost
Percent of
construction
I-15/Limonite Interchange $45,771,982 $1,964,098 4.29
I-215/Van Buren Interchange $30,268,700 $974,651 3.22
I-215/Newport Interchange $32,914,543 $740,532 2.25
I-215/Scott Road Interchange $32,600,000 $1,130,000 3.47
Average 3.31
As the MCP and SR-79 Realignment projects move forward, construction will eventually take
place on these very large projects utilizing a series of contracts, which will vary considerably in
size depending on available funding and other constraints. Some of these construction contracts
may be well over $100 million, while others will be closer to the size of the projects listed in the
table above. Therefore, it is necessary to have a policy that provides flexibility based on the
relative size of each contract.
During development and scoping of the four new rail stations that were part of the Perris Valley
Line project, the Commission adopted a similar policy to insure equity and fairness in the amount
of money spent at each station for off-site improvements.
Policy
Staff recommends that for future Commission-funded projects, the percentage of cost
attributable to landscaping and aesthetics funded by the Commission be limited to about
3.5 percent of the overall construction cost of the project for construction contracts less than
$50 million. This policy would not preclude a local agency from adding local funds to increase
the amount of landscaping and aesthetics above the 3.5 percent threshold. Generally, this will
require that the local agency also accept responsibility for maintenance of the landscaping and
aesthetics, which is accomplished through an agreement with the agency owning the facility
(usually Caltrans). Since Caltrans is very limited on the amount of maintenance it can provide on
aesthetics and landscaping, most projects already include such an agreement. For projects in
which the construction contract is greater than $50 million, the percentage contributed by the
Commission will gradually decline as the construction cost increases. For example, the
landscaping and aesthetics cost for the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project in Corona was about
2.1 percent of the overall construction cost of that project.

Revised:
Administered By: Capital Projects
Approved By: Commission
Approved Date: January 9, 2018
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy for Commission-Funded Landscape and Aesthetics (“Policy”) is to set
forth a guideline for the percentage of total construction cost attributable to landscaping and
aesthetics that will be paid by the Commission as part of a highway project.
POLICY
For Commission-funded projects, the percentage of cost attributable to landscaping and
aesthetics funded by the Commission be limited to about 3.5 percent of the overall construction
cost of the project, for construction contracts less than $50 million. A local agency may add local
funds through a funding agreement to increase the amount of landscaping and aesthetics above
the 3.5 percent threshold. Generally, this will require that the local agency also accept
responsibility for maintenance of the landscaping and aesthetics, which is accomplished through
an agreement with the agency owning the facility (usually Caltrans). For projects in which the
construction contract is greater than $50 million, the percentage contributed by the Commission
will gradually decline as the construction cost increases.

Agenda Item 8
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2018/19 Mid-Year Revenue Projections
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the mid-year Fiscal Year 2018/19 revenue projections of $192 million for
Measure A revenues, $96 million for Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenues, and
$24 million for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues;
2) Approve the budget increase adjustments to Measure A revenues of $5 million and
expenditures of $2,075,000 to reflect the revised Measure A projections;
3) Approve the budget increase adjustments to LTF revenues of $2 million and transfers in
of $315,000, and expenditures and transfers out of $394,000 to reflect the revised LTF
projections; and
4) Approve the budget increase adjustments to TUMF revenues of $3 million to reflect the
revised TUMF projections.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Prior to the beginning of FY 2018/19, staff made projections regarding the revenues to be
received from Measure A, LTF, and TUMF funds for budget purposes.
Staff tracks the Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues on a monthly basis. Current trends indicate
that Measure A and LTF receipts are 9.9 percent and 8.8 percent higher, respectively, for the six
months ended December 31, 2018, compared to the same period last year. For comparison
purposes, the FY 2017/18 actual revenues reflected a slight increase of 0.6 percent and
1.6 percent in Measure A and LTF revenues, respectively, from the FY 2016/17 levels. As reported
at the November Commission meeting in connection with the quarterly sales tax report,
numerous sales tax returns related to the first two quarters of calendar year 2018 remained
unprocessed at the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration following
implementation of a new automation system in May 2018. The unprocessed returns had a direct
impact on FY 2017/18 sales tax revenues, as the Commission did not record an estimate of the
revenue related to the unprocessed returns affecting FY 2017/18. Therefore, FY 2018/19
includes sales tax revenues related to FY 2017/18 as demonstrated by the unusually high increase
44
Agenda Item 8
in sales tax receipts noted previously. The Commission’s sales tax consultant, MuniServices, LLC,
an Avenu Company, provided analysis during a recent quarterly review that indicated continued
growth has occurred in Measure A sales tax revenues when reporting FY 2017/18 sales tax
returns processed in FY 2018/19 in the correct period.
TUMF revenues for the three months ended September 2018 are 19 percent higher than the
same period last year. Monthly TUMF receipts, however, tend to fluctuate significantly – making
it difficult to identify and project any trend. Accordingly, while there appears to be continued
improvement in TUMF revenues, a revised projection should be conservative.
Growth in sales tax revenues continues due to growth in employment, population, and a more
diverse economic base. According to the 2018 Inland Empire Forecast issued by the Center for
Economic Forecasting and Development at the University of California Riverside School of
Business, “the Inland Empire economy showed resiliency through the first half of 2018.”
Nonetheless, staff will continue to take an optimistic yet conservative approach to this year’s
mid-year projection analysis based on the revenue trend noted through December 2018,
including the impact of FY 2017/18 unprocessed returns that will be included with FY 2018/19
revenues.
Staff recommends the Commission increase the current year revenue projections for Measure A,
LTF, and TUMF revenues projections as follows:
Revenue
Projections
Original
(January 2018)
FY 2018/19
Budget
Revised for Mid-
Year Adjustment
Increase
from Budget
Measure A $ 187,000,000 $ 187,000,000 $ 192,000,000 $5,000,000
LTF 94,000,000 94,000,000 96,000,000 2,000,000
TUMF 21,000,000 21,000,000 24,000,000 3,000,000
For reference purposes, audited revenues for FY 2017/18 were approximately $176.3 million
(Measure A), $89.6 million (LTF), and $23.7 million (TUMF). The Measure A and LTF revenue
revised projections for FY 2018/19 are 8.9 percent and 7.1 percent higher than the FY 2017/18
actual revenues, respectively, and include the impact of the FY 2017/18 unprocessed returns.
The TUMF revenue projection approximates the prior fiscal year’s actual revenue with a small
rounding increase after consideration of current receipt trends.
Any change in Measure A revenue projections has a direct effect on the distributions to the
geographic areas and related local streets and roads (LSR) programs. Since there is a change in
the Measure A revenue projections, adjustments are required for LSR expenditures aggregating
$1,528,000 and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterials expenditures of $547,000.
The LTF audit was completed, and financial statements were issued in October 2018. Staff
revised the original LTF projections to include the carryover that is available to the local
governments and transit agencies and approximates $8,516,000. Staff estimates the LTF
administrative allocation to the Commission remains unchanged at $1,170,000; however, the
45
Agenda Item 8
actual amount is subject to the quarterly amounts determined per the administrative cost
allocation plan. Any difference in allocated Commission administration costs will be reflected in
next year’s estimated carryover. An expenditure adjustment is required for Southern California
Association of Governments planning of approximately $79,000. Since the Commission planning
allocations will be transferred from the Local Transportation Fund to the General fund, similar
adjustments to transfer in and out are also needed. The increase for SB 821 bicycle and
pedestrian projects of approximately $202,000 does not require a budget adjustment, as this
amount will be included in the amount available for the next call for projects. The increase in the
LTF balance available for apportionments for transit operators of approximately $8,928,000 also
does not require a budget adjustment as this amount will be available for any transit allocation
adjustments based on amendments to transit operator Short Range Transit Plans.
Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this updated information to the necessary local
governments and transit operators. Additionally, staff will continue to monitor FY 2018/19
revenues to determine if any adjustments to the revenue projections or Measure A and LTF
administration are necessary.

AGENDA ITEM 9
Agenda Item 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2019/20 Revenue Projections
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the projections for Measure A revenues of $193 million for Fiscal Year 2019/20;
2) Approve the projections of the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) apportionment of
$97 million for the Western Riverside County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley
areas for FY 2019/20; and
3) Approve the projections for Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues of
$25 million for FY 2019/20.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Prior to the commencement of the annual budget process, the Chief Financial Officer presents to
the Commission the projections for Measure A, LTF, and TUMF revenues related to the next fiscal
year. These revenue projections include consideration of historical and current trends of receipts
and economic data collected from various sources, including the quarterly sales tax forecast of
Measure A revenues prepared by its sales tax consultant, MuniServices, LLC, an Avenu Company.
Measure A
The Measure A projection consists of revenues generated from the local half-cent transactions
and use tax approved by voters in November 2002. The Measure A funds are principally used to
fund highway, regional arterial, local streets and roads, new corridors, economic development,
bond financing, bus transit, commuter rail, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation
projects in the three geographic areas of Riverside County, as defined in the Measure A
Expenditure Plan. The percentage of Measure A revenues allocated to each of these geographic
areas is based on return to source of the sales tax revenues generated. FY 2019/20 represents
the eleventh year of the 30-year term of the 2009 Measure A.
The Measure A projection for FY 2019/20 is $193 million. The estimate is based on the mid-year
projection of $192 million for FY 2018/19, which includes an amount related to FY 2017/18
50
Agenda Item 9
unprocessed sales tax returns that the California Tax and Fee Administration will include with
FY 2018/19 sales tax revenues as discussed further in the separate mid-year revenue projection
staff report. The increase is conservative and represents cautious optimism based on current
economic forecast information and recent fiscal year trends. This projection will become the
basis for the preparation of the FY 2019/20 budget. The budget process typically commences in
January of each year following the development of the Measure A revenue projections.
Additionally, the amounts for the local streets and roads programs are usually provided to the
local jurisdictions for planning purposes.
The projected amount of Measure A available for distribution to the three geographic areas is
$193 million prior to an administrative cost allocation, as summarized below and presented in
further detail by program on the attachment:
Geographic Area Amount
Western Riverside County $ 150,535,000
Coachella Valley 41,475,000
Palo Verde Valley 990,000
Total $ 193,000,000
Administrative costs are allocated in accordance with a cost allocation plan on a quarterly basis.
Accordingly, the Measure A allocations to each geographic area by program will be reduced for
such quarterly costs allocations.
Local Transportation Fund
The LTF projection consists of revenues generated from a quarter cent of the statewide sales tax.
These LTF funds are principally used to fund transit requirements within the county of Riverside
(County). The Transportation Development Act (TDA) legislation that created LTF requires the
County Auditor Controller to annually estimate the amount of revenues expected to be
generated from the sales tax. The estimate then becomes the basis for geographic
apportionment and for claimant allocation through the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process,
which commences in January 2020 for the next fiscal year.
While the County is the taxing authority and maintains custodial responsibility over the LTF
revenues, the Commission by statute is charged with administration of the LTF funding process.
Therefore, the practice has been for staff to develop the revenue estimate and then submit it to
the County Auditor Controller for concurrence. Once the Commission and the County agree on
a revenue amount, staff prepares the statutorily required apportionment. Apportionment is the
process that assigns revenues to the three major geographic areas as defined by TDA law within
the County: Western Riverside County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley. The revenues
are divided based on the respective populations for each area. The apportionment occurs after
off-the-top allocations for administration to the County and Commission and set asides for
Southern California Association of Governments planning (3/4 of 1 percent), local planning
51
Agenda Item 9
activities (3 percent), and bicycle and pedestrian projects (2 percent). The Commission’s
administration allocation is an estimate; the actual amount is subject to the quarterly amounts
determined per the administrative cost allocation plan. Any difference in allocated Commission
administration costs will be reflected in next year’s estimated carryover.
Attached is the FY 2019/20 LTF apportionment based on a revenue estimate of $97 million. The
estimate will be submitted to the County for its concurrence. The estimate is based on the
mid-year projection of $96 million for FY 2018/19, which also includes the impact of the FY
2017/18 unprocessed returns. This increase is conservative and represents cautious optimism
based on current economic forecast information. After the deductions for administration of
approximately $1,112,000 and set-asides of approximately $5,483,000, the amount available for
apportionment before reserves is approximately $90,405,000. The balance available for
apportionment before reserves is as follows:
Geographic Area Amount
Western Riverside County $ 71,980,000
Coachella Valley 17,451,000
Palo Verde Valley 974,000
Total $ 90,405,000
In accordance with Reserve Policy adopted by the Commission at its January 12, 2005 meeting, a
reserve of 10 percent for each apportionment area will be established and set aside for
FY 2019/20, for unforeseen cost increases or other emergency. For the Western Riverside County
apportionment area, a portion of the reserve will be allocated to each of the transit operators.
For public bus transit operators, the allocation of the reserve is based on each operator’s
proportionate share of FY 2018/19 LTF operating allocations. Operators may access reserve
funds by amending their SRTPs through the established amendment and Commission approval
process.
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee
The TUMF projection consists of revenues generated from fees charged to new development to
ensure it pays for the new transportation facilities needed to accommodate growth. As a result
of a memorandum of understanding executed in 2008 between the Commission and the Western
Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the administrator of the TUMF program, the
Commission receives a significant share of TUMF revenues, after a WRCOG administrative
allocation, for the Commission’s regional arterial and Community Environmental Transportation
Acceptability Process programs that is equal to the WRCOG share for the TUMF zone program.
The revenue estimate for FY 2018/19 is $25 million. The estimate is based on the mid-year
projection of $24 million for FY 2018/19 and assumes a 5.4 percent increase over the FY 2017/18
actual TUMF revenues.
52
Agenda Item 9
Next Steps
Upon Commission approval, staff will provide this information to the local jurisdictions and
transit operators for planning purposes. Staff will continue to monitor FY 2018/19 revenues
during the development of the FY 2019/20 budget to determine if any adjustments to the
revenue projections are necessary.

Agenda Item 10
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Marlin Feenstra, Project Delivery Director
Bryce Johnston, Capital Projects Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: State Route 60 Truck Lanes Project Funding, Environmental Mitigation and
Construction Agreement with Skanska USA Civil West
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Award Agreement No. 18-31-146-00 to Skanska USA Civil West (Skanska) to construct
the State Route 60 Truck Lanes project (Project), in the amount of $95,994,000, plus a
contingency amount of $10,047,705 for potential change orders and supplemental work
during construction, for a total not to exceed contract authorization of $106,041,705;
2) Approve Agreement No. 19-31-038-00 with the state of California for an amount not to
exceed $1,040,070 for California Highway Patrol (CHP) Construction Zone Enhanced
Enforcement Program (COZEEP) services;
3) Approve Agreement No. 19-31-027-00 with Riverside Corona Resource Conservation
District (RCRCD) for compensatory mitigation for the Project in the amount of $413,400,
plus a contingency amount of $10,000 to cover administrative fees, for a total amount
not to exceed $423,400;
4) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, or designee, to approve contingency work as
may be required for the Project; and
5) Authorize Chair or the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Project is located east of Moreno Valley from Gilman Springs Road to Jack Rabbit Trail. The
Project scope includes an eastbound truck climbing lane and a westbound truck descending
lane plus inside and outside standard shoulders along a 4.5-mile stretch of SR-60 (Figure 1), and
is designed to enhance safety and improve operations. The Project is a combination of a
Caltrans-sponsored safety project to construct shoulders and the Commission’s project to
construct the truck lanes, as well as a Caltrans-sponsored pavement rehabilitation project.
56
Agenda Item 10
Figure 1: Project Location Map
Construction activity is expected to begin in July 2019 and will take about 33 months.
Procurement Process:
On October 18, 2018, the Commission advertised Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 18-31-146-00 for
construction of the Project. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and the
complete IFB, including all contract documents, was posted on the Commission’s PlanetBids
website, which is accessible through the Commission’s website. Electronic mail messages were
sent to vendors registered in the Commission’s PlanetBids database that fit the IFB
qualifications. One hundred thirteen firms downloaded the IFB. Twenty-eight are located in
Riverside County. A pre-bid conference was held at the Commission’s office on October 25,
and, on November 29, seven bids were received and publicly opened. A summary of the bids
received is shown in Table 1.

7 Sukut Construction, LLC 126,519,053
The basis for award for a public works contract is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder
as defined by the Commission’s procurement policy and state law. The bid analysis
(Attachment 2) shows the bid amounts of the seven bidders, the total price per item and
percent variation from the engineer’s estimate for each bid item. The bid price submitted by
Skanska was 10 percent lower than the engineer’s estimate. Although Skanska’s bid is lower
than the engineer’s estimate, an analysis of the bid identified no irregularities or omissions.
After analyzing the seven bids received, staff concluded that Skanska is the lowest responsible
bidder submitting a responsive bid in the amount of $95,994,000 for the Project.
Staff recommends award of Agreement No. 18-31-146-00 for the construction of the Project to
Skanska for the amount of $95,994,000, plus a contingency amount of $10,047,705 to cover
potential change orders and supplemental work encountered during construction, for a total
not to exceed contract authorization of $106,041,705. Supplemental work is work that will
have to be done during construction but is not quantifiable at the time of construction
advertisement. Two common supplemental items of work are maintaining existing traffic and
the price fluctuation of asphalt.
COZEEP
COZEEP traffic control services are required during construction as a safety measure to increase
traffic enforcement above normal levels. CHP officers may be used to slow down or assist in
stopping or directing traffic to enable necessary breaks in traffic for critical movements of the
contractor’s equipment and operations.
Staff recommends approval of agreement no. 19-31-038-00 for COZEEP traffic control services
to be provided by the CHP San Gorgonio Pass Area office for an amount not to exceed
$1,040,070.
Environmental Mitigation Commitment
In August 2018, staff secured all the required Project environmental permits including
Nationwide Permit 14 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Section 401 Clean Water
Certification from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and
1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
(CDFW). The Commission is required to mitigate Project impacts through rehabilitation and
long-term management of 1.56 acres of ephemeral streambed and riparian habitat, satisfied
through the purchase of credits through a USACE, RWQCB and CDFW approved mitigation
bank.
58
Agenda Item 10
The RCRCD manages a USACE, RWQCB and CDFW approved In-Lieu Fee (ILF) program for
impacts within the Santa Ana River Watershed. Under the ILF program, RCRCD is authorized to
sell mitigation credits for specific impacts resulting from USACE, RWQCB and CDFW permitted
projects. Commission staff evaluated mitigation options and identified RCRCD as the most
suitable resource for providing the necessary mitigation. Staff recommends approval of
Agreement No. 19-31-027-00 with RCRCD to purchase 1.56 rehabilitation ILF credits as
compensatory mitigation for the purchase price of $413,400, plus a $10,000 contingency to
cover administrative costs, for a total amount not to exceed $423,400.
Project Funding
Caltrans will contribute $40 million in State Highway Operation and Protection Program
(SHOPP) funds and the Commission will be responsible for the balance of the Project cost.
Since October 2013, the Commission has programmed various types of funding including
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and State Transportation Improvement Program-
Regional Improvement Program (STIP-RIP). The 2009 Measure A Western County Highways
program will provide the remaining funding. Funding is also required for agency furnished
materials expenses including construction freeway service patrol and various fees estimated at
$2,050,000. These costs will be funded with a combination of STIP-RIP and 2009 Measure A
Western County Highway funds.
At the December 2018 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement for construction
support to Falcon Engineering for a total amount not to exceed $17,512,548. The construction
support will be funded by STIP-RIP.
Table 2 presents the total funding for the construction and construction support phases of the
Project.

AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF CREDITS FROM
THE RIVERSIDE-CORONA RESOURCE
CONSERVATION DISTRICT
This Agreement is entered into this ________________ day of ________, 2018, by and
between Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District (“RCRCD”), and the Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTC) (“Project Proponent”) (individually, a “Party,” and
collectively the “Parties”), as follows:
RECITALS
A. RCRCD has developed the RCRCD In-Lieu Fee Program (the “Program”); and
B. The Program was approved by the Los Angeles District of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (“USACE”), Region IX of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”),
and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 8 (“RWQCB”) (jointly
referred to as the Interagency Review Team (the “IRT”)) on July 26, 2012 and is currently in
good standing with the IRT; and
C. RCRCD has received approval from the IRT to sell credits from the Program to
offset impacts; and
D. Project Proponent is seeking to purchase Compensatory Mitigation Credits (“ILF
Credits”) from the Program for impacts to Waters of the United States that result from activities
of the Project Proponent authorized under sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act (see
Permits attached in Exhibit “A”). The number of ILF Credits to be acquired by the Project
Proponent for the State Route 60 Truck Lanes Project (the “Project”), located just to the east of
the City of Moreno Valley, in unincorporated Riverside County, California (Lat.: 33.94281ºN,
Long.: -117.08686ºW (“Impact Location”), as described in Exhibit “B,” is 1.2 enhancement ILF
Credits; and
E. USACE is requiring Project Proponent to purchase 1.2 enhancement ILF Credits
from the Program for the enhancement of waters of the U.S. as described in Special Condition 5
of the USACE Nationwide Permit Verification Letter, dated August 10, 2018 (File No. SPL-
2013-00880-VCL), although Project Proponent has requested to upgrade the mitigation to
purchase 1.56 rehabilitation ILF Credits and represents to RCRCD that such change in the
mitigation shall still be sufficient to satisfy Special Condition 5 of the USACE 404 Nationwide
Permit; and

Patricia,
Thank you for bringing this item to my attention. I have reviewed your proposal and have
discussed this issue with my supervisor David Woelfel. Since the 1.56 acres of rehabilitation
credits provide an increased value to habitat than 1.2 acres of enhancement credits listed in the
401 and 404 documents issued, we will accept this proposed change in mitigation for impacts
associated with the subject Project.
Upon purchase of the credits, please provide verification documents in your return response.
Please include the Project Name and Project Number on all correspondences relating to this
Project.
Thank you

Hi Marc,
Hope all is well with you. I have a question regarding mitigation. The 1602 permit requires that
RCTC purchase 1.56 acres of rehabilitation credits for the SR 60 TCL project. The 401 and 404
108
24632.00044\31437542.2 -15-
permits require 1.2 acres of ephemeral stream enhancement credits. I checked with Veronica Li
of the Army Corps and she confirmed that the 1.56 acres of rehabilitation credits would suffice
for their purposes. If RCTC purchased 1.56 acres of rehabilitation credits, would that suffice to
meet the 1.2 acre ephemeral stream enhancement credits requirement in the 401 permit? Please
advise.
Thanks,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project would widen SR-60 from PM 22.2 to PM.26.5, in an unincorporated area of
Riverside County between the cities of Moreno Valley and Beaumont, to add a single
commercial trucking lane in each direction of traffic. The widening would occur for 4.4 miles,
requiring the expansion of length to existing drainage culverts running beneath the proposed
widened section of roadway. Impacts to waters of the United States (WOTUS) will occur to
unnamed ephemeral drainages from the proposed lengthening of the culverts described above.

AGENDA ITEM 11
Agenda Item 11
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: January 9, 2019
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Jillian Guizado, Legislative Affairs Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: 2019 State and Federal Legislative Platform and Preview
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Adopt the Commission’s 2019 State and Federal Legislative Platform; and
2) Receive and file a report on State and Federal Legislation for 2019.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the beginning of every year, the Commission adopts a legislative platform that outlines the
positions the Commission will take on various pieces of legislation, administrative policies, and
regulations. The platform addresses broad themes that are critical in both Sacramento and
Washington, D.C. These platform points allow staff, Commissioners, and the Commission’s
lobbyists to communicate in a timely, effective manner with state and federal actors as issues
arise.
DISCUSSION:
2019 State and Federal Legislative Program
While the proposed 2019 State and Federal Legislative Platform builds on platforms the
Commission has adopted in previous years, staff took extra time this year to clean up and
strengthen the platform. Some outdated points were stricken while other long-standing points
were removed due to being addressed in Senate Bill 1. Several new points have been added
which reflect policy issues that have arisen recently and issues that are anticipated to be on the
horizon in 2019. The attached proposed 2019 State and Federal Legislative Platform is provided
in track changes for ease of noting what changes are proposed.
2019 State and Federal Legislative Preview
