In order to effectively use the federal funding, RTA has developed a list of new
capital projects in which to utilize the $508,076 remaining in federal funds. Some
of the new projects have sufficient match to cover the new capital projects,
however, for other projects to be implemented, additional match funds are required.
The following chart identifies the new capital projects that RTA is seeking approval
for together with a breakdown of local and federal project funding:

Commission staff is in support of RTA's request to reprogram the funds and
recommends that the additional local match requirement of $111,589 be approved
contingent upon FTA's approval to reprogram the federal portion of the funding.
Staff is concerned that the age of the grants (dating back to FY 1997) may be a
barrier to FTA's approval as federal funds have a shelf life of four years. Staff
recommends that upon approval from FTA, the additional local match requirement
of $1 1 1,589 be allocated out of RTA's reserves.

SUBJECT:
Request from Exceed for Measure "A" Specialized Transit Funds as
Match for FY 2002/03 and FY 2003/04 Section 5310 Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Allocate $91,600 in Measure "A" Specialized Transit Funds to Exceed
to provide the required local match for the purchase of 10 vehicles;
2) Approve Agreement No. 06-26-015-00 with Exceed for $91,600 in
Measure "A" Specialized Transit Funds available in western Riverside
County;
3) Authorize the Chairman, pursuant to Legal Counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Exceed was notified by Caltrans that it was approved for $458,000 in funding
under the Federal Transit Administration's Section 5310 program for the purchase
of ten vehicles identified in Attachment 1.
The Section 5310 program provides funding for 80% of the cost of capital
projects. Exceed is requesting that the required 20% match ($91,600) be funded
from Measure "A" Specialized Transit funds available in western Riverside County.
These funds are specifically set aside, on an annual basis, to provide the local
match to operators located in western Riverside County participating in the Section
5310 program.
Exceed provides transit assistance to disabled adults with developmental disabilities
whose primary diagnosis is mental retardation. Although Exceed coordinates its
transportation services with the Riverside Transit Agency, its clients have trouble
riding mass transportation due to lack of mobility skills as well as the presence of
physical and mental disabilities. If the request for Measure "A" funding is approved,
the local match will be placed on deposit directly with Caltrans.

WRCOG's Transit Oriented Development Study:
Funding Participation
Request
for
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Allocate an additional $12,500 in Local Transportation Funds (LTF) to
the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) to be used as its contribution to
expand the Western Riverside Council of Governments' scope of work
to study transit oriented development and amend RTA's FY 2005/06
Short Range Transit Plan to reflect this change;
2) Allocate $12,500 in LTF Planning Funds to WRCOG as RCTC's
contribution towards the transit oriented development study; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) was recently awarded a
Community Based Transportation Planning Grant from Caltrans to conduct a study
for transit oriented development in western Riverside County. As part of the study,
WRCOG will conduct survey research on residents' views of growth, land use, and
development. The survey results will be used to inform olic makers, encourage
p Y p Y 9
discussion, and raise public awareness about these issues as they pertain to
transit. Other key focuses will be on the relative importance western Riverside
County residents place on various types of solutions for accommodating growth,
including their willingness to support new land use patterns at key locations (i.e.
higher -density, mixed use, transit -supportive development along key corridors and
nodes).
The Caltrans' grant provides $25,000 in funding for a survey sample of
approximately 900 western Riverside County residents. Staff from WRCOG
believes that a total of $50,000 is needed to conduct a comprehensive, meaningful
survey and has requested $12,500 in additional funding from RTA as well as
$12,500 from RCTC. If approved, the additional funds will be used to augment the
10
survey sample to include a sub -area focus related to transit development. There
are adequate LTF funds available in the Western Riverside County apportionment
area to cover RTA's request as well as adequate LTF planning dollars to cover
RCTC's contribution towards the study.
Based on discussions with WRCOG's staff, the study should be completed in April,
2006. Given the short time span to conduct the study and WRCOG's recent
request for additional funding, RTA will seek approval to participate in this study at
its January- 26, 2006 Board Meeting. This staff report will be up -dated for the
February Commission meeting to reflect the results of that discussion.

Riverside Line On Time Performance Follow Up
The Riverside Line On Time Performance improved due to better dispatching from the
Union Pacific Railroad. The Line On Time Performance was 71 % in April and .has
dramatically increased since then and has maintained a level near or above 95% for
the past 5 months. In addition, the Union Pacific is planning a major track
replacement program that has the potential to impact train service for about 20
service days over a four month period from February to May of 2006. Metrolink has
developed a plan to accommodate the passengers with bus bridges and additional
cars on parallel service along the 91 Line. There will also be a discounted monthly
pass for Riverside Line users once the project is complete.

2005 Holiday Toy Train Riverside Station Events
The 2005 Holiday Toy Train events at the RCTC Metrolink Stations were a great
success. From estimates taken by Metrolink personnel, there were 2,850 people
attending the 4 events, over 600 more than the previous year. The Pedley Station
increased from 540 in 2004 to 780 in 2005, and was over three times the 250
participants in 2003. The La Sierra Station attendance grew from 680 to 950 and
was 7 times better than the 125 in 2003. The North Main Corona Station increased
from 350 in 2003 to 710 in 2004, and was at 820 this year. The Downtown
Riverside Station attendance remained consistent at 300, due to limited activities at
the site and competition from other local events.
Many local groups and agencies helped make the events so successful. The City of
Riverside Public Utilities participated with an information booth at the La Sierra
Station. The Fender Kids Rock Band entertained the crowds at North Main Corona.
The Corona Fire Department really made a big difference with the Antique Fire Engine
and provided food and refreshments at the site. The Fire Engines with their mascots
Sparky and Smokey the Bear helped entertain everyone at the other stations.
The annual Firefighters Spark of Love Toy Drive had a
terrific response again this year. The events filled
multiple vans and pickups full of toys at some of the
stations. The RCTC sponsored school contest was
also successful and brought many school kids to the
events. The number of donations was very
encouraging and many local kids will have a brighter
holiday because of the events. The Metrolink Train
Show with Santa along with additional station
activities of music, snow, and food made for a very enjoyable evening.
advertising efforts and support from the Press Enterprise continued to make
difference in increasing awareness.
