HIGHGROVE METROLINIUTRANSPORTATION CENTER
April 12, 2006
Dear Riverside County Transportation Commissioner,
Here is a 5 step plan I would like for RCTC to consider:
1. Pursue an agreement between RCTC and UPRR for the Perris Valley Line
commuter trains to align onto the Union Pacific track between Marlborough Ave.
and Riverside (instead of coming into Highgrove) to accommodate riders between
Perris and Riverside.
2. RCTC purchase the 35 acres of vacant land between the Perris Valley Line and
the BNSF main line for a Metrolink/Transportation Center and create a station
stop in Highgrove by using the existina 8 commuter trains on the BNSF main line
that presently pass through Highgrove but do not stop, to accommodate riders
from the Highgrove/Grand Terrace area to Riverside or to San Bernardino.
3. Communicate with the City of Riverside so that their 35 acre portion of Hunter
Park will be set aside for a future transportation center instead of constructing
more large buildings.
4. Extend Spring St. westward into the 35 acres and make a new road (approx.'A
mile long) parallel to the BNSF tracks and connect to Iowa Ave. near Palmyrita
Avenue. This will allow I-215 freeway access without being blocked by trains.
5. Use funds planned for the proposed Spruce and Rustin station and instead
purchase the larger property located in Hunter Park which is all vacant land and
has existing tracks on both sides. The tracks intersect at Main St. in Highgrove.
Note: I do not represent any Company, Developer or Real Estate Agent and 1
have no financial interest in the 35 acres mentioned I am a retired Santa Fe
Conductor with over 41 years experience up and down these tracks. My goal is
trying to encourage RCTC to purchase this land now. It is supported by the
University Neighborhood Association near UCR (3-15-06), past resolutions from
Highgrove (11-27-01), Grand Terrace (12-13-01), and Loma Linda (1- 24- 02)
who all want a Metrolink Station in Highgrove. Please feel to contact me for
further details or ifyou have any questions.
Thank you very much,

Value Analysis and Right -of -Way
$234,000
Additional Funds Needed June 2005
through June 2006

The Evaluation Committee selected Civic Resource Group (CRG). CRG's approach
is based on a Microsoft integrated platform, which will provide for easy integration
of the Commission's existing project files. This approach will also provide an
efficient way for staff to provide project information to Caltrans and SCAG. For -
example, staff is required to submit an Obligation Report on a quarterly basis to
Caltrans and the report is provided as an Excel spreadsheet. SCAG's Regional
Transportation Improvement Program/Federal Transportation Improvement Program
(RTIP/FTIP) database utilizes Microsoft Access software.
The ability to integrate current project databases into one consolidated database
and provide project information to various local agencies and staff levels is a new
and innovative use of technology. Staff is excited to embark on this project and
perhaps become a model of data integration and information sharing among the
Commission's local, regional, and state partners.
Funding of Web -based Project Management Database
This project is currently included in the Local Transportation Funds (LTF) budget for
$30,000 in FY 2005/06, and $20,000 in the proposed FY 2006/07 budget for a
total of $50,000 for the base contract. The project management database is
initially planned to be hosted by CRG. Therefore, hosting fees, licensing, and
maintenance of the database are separate costs and have been included ,in the
FY 2006/07 RCTC budget.
As this project progresses, staff will have a better idea of all of the needs including
those that may not be accommodated in the $48,510 contract. CRG's proposal is
designed to provide expandability for future enhancements and modules.
Staff recommends awarding a contract to Civic Resource Group in the amount of
$48,510 to develop RCTC's web -based project management database.

comprised of Andrea Puga and Mary Venerable. In addition, Fortunato Penilla,
former transportation coordinator for the Inland Regional Center, as well as
Tanya Love, RCTC Transit Program manager, reviewed the applications.
A total of five agencies located in Riverside County submitted grant applications
requesting $528,002 in funding for 35 projects consisting of four replacement
vehicles, five expansion vehicles and 26 pieces of equipment.
The Committee met and scored the projects on March 14, 2006. The Proposed
Regional Priority List for Riverside County listing the final scores is attached. All
applicants have been notified of the project scores and given the opportunity to
appeal by April 3, 2006. The time line for this process is tight since Commission
approved scores must be submitted to Caltrans by May 5, 2006. Since the
Commission's May meeting is after that date, all approvals must be completed" at
our April 12`h Commission meeting. It is anticipated that the California
Transportation Commission will adopt the final list of projects in August 2006.
The Commission is also required to include the awarded projects in the Regional
Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP) and certify by resolution that the projects
are consistent with the local area regional transportation plan.

AGENDA ITEM 7E
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
April 12, 2006
TO:
Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Plans and Programs Committee
Tanya Love, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Programming and Administration Director
SUBJECT:
SunLine Transit Agency's Request to Amend its Short Range
Transit P►an to Program Funds for Expansion of its Clean Fuels Mall
and Hydrogen Infrastructure Facility
PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Allocate $21,844 in Local Transportation Fund funds (LTF) to SunLine
Transit Agency as an additional local match for the Federal Transit
Administration's (FTA) Section 5309 earmark for expansion of
SunLine's Clean Fuels Mall and Hydrogen Facility;
2) Include the project in the Regional Transportation Improvement
Program (RTIP); and
3) Amend SunLine's Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to reflect these
changes.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the January 2006 Commission meeting, SunLine Transit Agency was approved
to receive $87,379 in LTF funds as the local match to $436,894 in FTA Section
5309 funds to expand the Clean Fuels Mall and Hydrogen Infrastructure Facility at
its Thousand Palms facility. Subsequent to that action, SunLine staff submitted
the grant application to the FTA; however, they were recently notified that the
local match was insufficient. Based on further discussions with FTA, it has been
determined that an additional $21,844 in funding is needed.
There are adequate LTF funds available in the Coachella Valley apportionment area
to meet this request.

local governments.' Over the past five (5) years, public transit agencies have been
stepping up efforts to capitalize on underused agency properties that can be used
for TOD in an effort to boost ridership, revenues, or for other benefits. In an era of
tightening budgets,_ the agencies are looking for greater non-farebox revenues,
which may be TOD.
Metrolink Station Area Development Activities
Over the last three (3) years, the Metrolink system has begun to experience the
trend in transit oriented and joint development interest as well. The following
Metrolink station cities are engaged in various stages of planning for and
implementing mixed use transit -supportive development projects that leverage the
existing Metrolink rail station infrastructure, which fully integrates the train service
into the revitalization and development plans.2

As the Metrolink system begins to prove attractive to developers who recognize
the potential revenue stream that can be generated by locating their developments
near rail stations, these developments may generate additional revenue potential for
RCTC, provide benefit to existing passengers who frequent these stations, and
encourage new transit ridership.
At its June 2005 meeting, the Commission approved the Rail Station Joint
Development Guidelines and authorized staff to develop and a SOQ/RFP for Joint
Development of the La Sierra Station. Currently, the Joint Development solicitation
is in the RFP phase. The evaluation process involves staff from the city of
Riverside Redevelopment and Planning Agency as well as Metrolink staff and RCTC
staff. It is anticipated that the results of the evaluation process will be presented
to the Property Committee at its June meeting.

RC.IL Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines, June 2005
Riverside County Transportation Commission
Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines
June 2005
PURPOSE
These guidelines are issued under the authority of the Riverside County Transportation
Commission (ROTC) which seeks to enter into joint development partnerships to
enhance the financial return and overall patronage of the Commission's significant rail
transportation infrastructure investment. For purposes of these guidelines, joint
development is defined as a real property asset development and management
program intended to secure the most appropriate private and/or public sector
development on RCTC-owned property at and adjacent to Metrolink commuter rail
stations and corridors. Joint development also includes coordination with local
jurisdictions in station -area land use planning in the interest of establishing development
that enhances rail transit use.
It is the intention of the RCTC to realize the maximum benefits from and utilization of
property owned and acquired by the Commission consistent with transportation mobility
and community development objectives.
The RCTC joint development guidelines seek to:
1. Promote and enhance rail transit ridership;
2. Enhance and protect the commuter rail station and corridor;
3. Encourage comprehensive and complementary planning and development
around RCTC-owned station sites;
4. Reduce auto use and congestion through encouragement of rail transit -linked
development, consistent with Commission policy to pursue transportation
alternatives that enhance or complement economic development; and
5. Demonstrate a fiscal benefit to the Commission based on a fair market return on
public investment.
POLICIES
The basic construct of joint developmentguidelines encourages comprehensive
planning of station -area development. Thesepolicies are limited to solicited proposals.
To facilitate coordinated transportation and land use decisions, RCTC will:
1
17
RCTC Rai! Station Joint Developmeni Guidelines, June 20105
1. Consult and work cooperatively with local jurisdictions, redevelopment agencies,
developers,. and other public and private sector entities to facilitate land use
policies and plans which encourage intensive, high quality development at
current and planned RCTC-owned stations and surrounding properties;
2. In consultation with local jurisdictions, prepare conceptual development
strategies specific to each joint development site that articulate the intensity and
types of land use that the RCTC envisions for that 'site as well as any of the
desired transit facility features;
3_ Encourage transit compatible land use plans that enhance RCTC's regional
mobility; air quality, economic development, ridership and revenue goals;
4_ Consider joint development opportunities in the location of new station sites for
future rail corridors, and construction of station:facilities;
5. Encourage and allow surrounding property owners/developers, ;at their expense,
to construct direct connections to stations from their property/buildings, in
particular, pedestrian connections which enhance the overall pedestrian flow of
the project area; and
6. Any modifications of these guidelines may be made by the RCTC Property
Committee.
Additionally, the RCTC shall consider new joint development projects based on the
following standards:
1. Projects shall be evaluated for consistency with development strategies as
delineated in site -specific Request for Qualification/Proposals (RFQ/RFP) issued
by the Commission;
2. Projects shall not negatively impact present or future public transportation_
facilities;
3. Projects shall be evaluated for consistency with regional and local jurisdictions''
policies and plans;
4. Projects must demonstrate, at a minimum, fair market value return to RCTC;
5. lf there are multiple proposals for the same site, selection between projects will
be based on those which meet the above criteria and additionally demonstrate:
a. The greatest potential to increase rail transit ridership and enhance the
transit system environment;
b. The greatest economic development potential to the community consistent
with adopted land use plans; and
c. Responsiveness to community needs for employment, services, housing
or other facilities.
6. Projects are encouraged which create a long-term source of revenue for ttie
RCTC and allow the RCTC to participate in the increase in value of its real estate
assets over time: This will generally take the form of a long-term lease. Under
some circumstances, the Commission may consider the sale of property if it is
determined to be in RCTC's best interest;
7. Projects are encouraged which require no commitment of RCTC financial
resources, minimize any investment risk, and maximize asset security for RCTC;
8. Where appropriate, as defined in the site -specific conceptual development
guidelines enumerated in the RFP, projects are encouraged which provide new
or additional station parking facilities; and

In addition, the State's rail plan also proposes to add several new intercity rail
routes in the period FY 2005/06 to FY 2015/16. The Los Angeles to Indio
(Coachella Valley) route is listed as a potential new service. The other routes
include San Francisco to San Luis Obispo via the Coast Route, Sacramento to
Reno, Sacramento to Redding, San Francisco to Monterey, and Los Angeles to
Las Vegas.
In its report Caltrans notes that "there has been strong local interest" in rail service
along this route. While there is no state -supported service in that region presently,
Amtrak does operate a thrice weekly service between Los Angeles, Pomona,
Ontario and Palm Springs on its long distance route to New Orleans. In addition,
Caltrans has linked this region with its San Joaquin train service between
Bakersfield and the Bay Area. Commencing with the October 2005 Amtrak
schedule change, there are now two daily Amtrak bus round trips between
Beaumont and Bakersfield, connecting directly with the San Joaquin trains.
Passengers in the Pass area can purchase a single Amtrak through ticket combining
the bus portion from Beaumont to Bakersfield with the train portion of the trip
commencing at the Bakersfield train station.
In the prior FY 2004/05 when only a single round trip operated between and
through the Pass to the Bakersfield train station, there were 32,000 passengers
carried on the dedicated Amtrak bus link which served the following stations: La
Crescenta, Pasadena, Claremont, San Bernardino Metrolink station, Beaumont (the
Pass area station), Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Indio.
The Caltrans operating plan reflects the recommendations of a 1999 study
prepared by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (Coachella Valley
Passenger Rai/ Feasibility Study) to operate a state -funded intercity rail passenger
service between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley, via Fullerton, Riverside, the
Pass, and terminating in Indio in the Coachella Valley. The intercity service would
operate over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) route between Los 'Angeles,
Riverside and Colton, at which point it would use the tracks of the Union Pacific
Railroad (UPRR) from Colton to Indio.
According to Caltrans, the anticipated date for beginning new state -supported rail
services changes each time the State Rail Plan is updated to reflect the fact that a
number of obstacles must be overcome before new rail services can be initiated.
For each rail corridor, where new state -supported rail servicesare proposed,
additional rail cars and locomotives must be acquired, an agreement with the rail
line owner must be reached and a source of operating funds :must be secured..
Until these issues can be resolved, the anticipated start dates for new rail service
are delayed. Of all of these issues, the most significant in this case is the
"Union Pacific Railway's recent decision not to consider operation of new
passenger train corridors at this time."

Chapter X- Potential New Services
CHAPTER X
POTENTIAL NEW SERVICES
This Chapter contains a discussion on six potential intercity passenger rail routes,
four of them proposed by the Department for service in the 10-year period,
Also high-speed rail, and magnetic levitation projects in California are discussed.
Chapter IX — Commuter Rail Services discusses proposed extensions of existing
commuter rail services as well as proposed new commuter rail services.
PROPOSED INTERCITY RAIL ROUTES
This section includes a description of the four new routes that the Department
proposes for service in this l0-year plan. Figure 10A displays potential intercity
passenger rail routes. The routes are discussed in order of potential
implementation by year: San Francisco to San Luis Obispo (Los Angeles);
Sacramento to Reno; Sacramento to Redding; and Los Angeles to Indio. Included
for each route is a summary of current service to the area, recent studies of the
route, and the Department's current service proposal. The implementation of all
new service is subject to demonstrated ridership demand, approval from Amtrak
and the relevant railroad(s), availability of operating and capital funding and
equipment, and completion of necessary capital projects. This section also
includes a discussion of two routes where funding is not proposed in the time
period of this plan: San Francisco to Monterey and Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
SAN FRANCISCO TO SAN LUIS OBISPO (AND LOS ANGELES) VIA
COAST ROUTE
The extension of the Pacific Surfliners from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco
would close a key gap in the state -supported intercity rail system by providing
direct train service from San Francisco to Los Angeles. However, regional
transportation planning agencies have led the planning for this extension and will
continue to provide an important role in the planning and operation of this
extension.
Background
Currently only one daily round-trip Coast Starlight train connects Oakland and
San Jose with Los Angeles via the Coast with intermediate stops including
Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara on its route from- Seattle.
Also a round-trip Amtrak Thruway bus from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco
started on November 17, 2004 with the inauguration of the second Los Angeles -
San Luis Obispo Pacific Surfliner. Ridership on this entire bus route was over
18,000 in 2004-05. Additionally, one round-trip Amtrak Thruway bus from
125
32
2005-06-2015-16 California State Rail Plan
San Jose to Santa Barbara connects the Capitol Corridor to Santa Barbara.
Ridership on this bus route was 12,000 in 2004-05.
There has been interest for many years in providing additional; Coast Route service
to better link California's two largest metropolitan areas. In 1992, H.R. 39 was
passed requesting a Coast Corridor intercity rail corridor upgrade study be
conducted by the regional transportation planning agencies along the Corridor in
cooperation with the Department. As a result, concerned local agencies formed
the Coast Rail Coordinating Council (CRCC) that is staffed by the San Luis
Obispo Council of Governments. The Coast Rail Improvement Study issued in the
fall of 1994 resulted from H.R. 39. Then, in 1996 the Coast Route Infrastructure
Assessment Report was completed. One of the main goals of the CRCC is to
"close the gap" in state -supported train services by connecting downtown
Los Angeles and downtown San Francisco with daily train services.
In 2000, the Coordinating Council issued a Coast Daylight Implementation Plan
that envisions daily service operating on Caltrain trackage from San Francisco to
San Jose, and then on UP trackage to Moorpark, and then on Metrolink trackage to
Los Angeles. Stations are planned in San Francisco, Millbrae, Palo Alto,
Mountain View, Santa Clara, San Jose, Gilroy, Pajaro, Salinas, KingCity, Paso
Robles, San Luis Obispo and south to Los Angeles stopping at existing
Pacific Surfliner stations. The study includes operating costs, but no capital costs.
In Fall 2004, the CRCC released the Capacity Analysis for the "Coast Daylight"
service. The analysis identified several capital improvements that would be
helpful in order to increase train frequencies on the Coast Route. The CRCC is
now working with Amtrak, Union Pacific, and the Department to identify how to
move forward since capital funding for the improvements is extremely limited.
Additionally at this time the Union Pacific is not considering new passenger routes
due to an increase in freight traffic and their need to accommodate this demand.
Operating Plan
The Department's 10-year operating plan includes one round-trip train between
San Francisco and San Luis Obispo, starting in 2007-08, with a second train in
2013-14. The first train would be operated from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles
as an extension of the new Pacific Surfliner train added in November 2004 and
would provide through train service between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The second train would operate as an extension of the planned third Los Angeles-
San Luis Obispo round-trip. Direct train connections to San Diego at Los Angeles
would be available on most trips.

Chapter X - Potential New Services
The Department believes this extension is a good candidate for rail service
because:
• It would be the only state -supported route to provide direct train service
between the two major population centers of the State, thus closing a key
gap in the system.
• There is strong ridership on the one daily Coast Starlight round-trip and on
the three daily Amtrak Thruway buses.
• An existing local organization —the CRCC, is actively planning the service,
and implementation plans have been completed.
SACRAMENTO TO RENO
The extension of intercity rail service from Sacramento to Reno would bring state -
supported rail service to the Truckee/Tahoe and Reno/Sparks tourist areas as well
as provide relief to the highly congested I-80 —Bay Area to Reno corridor.
Background
Amtrak's California Zephyr and connecting buses to the Capitol Corridor and
San Joaquins serve Reno and intermediate 1-80 Corridor points.
The California Zephyr makes stops at Reno, Truckee, Colfax, Roseville and
Sacramento once daily in each direction on its route to Chicago. Also, Amtrak
buses connect to three San Joaquins and four Capitol Corridor trains and serve
Reno/Sparks, Truckee, Soda Springs, Colfax, Auburn, Rocklin, Roseville and
Sacramento. Ridership on this bus route was 37,000 in 2004-05.
In 1995 the Department and the Nevada Department of Transportation published
the Sacramento -Tahoe -Reno Intercity Rail Study that examined the feasibility of
expanding passenger rail service along the I-80/Tahoe corridor from Sacramento
to Truckee and Reno/Sparks on the UP line on which the California Zephyr
currently operates. A number of scenarios were studied involving extending
varying numbers of Capitol Corridor trains from Sacramento to Reno/Sparks, and
all scenarios were determined to be feasible. In 2002, the Capitol Corridor Joint
Powers Authority and the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency initiated
a study to extend the Capitol Corridor to Reno. The study was intended to provide
current ridership, revenue, and train operating cost estimates for the train
extension and the capital costs for necessary station and track" improvements.
However, the study was suspended in March 2005 as a result of the UP's decision
to not conduct additional network modeling or consider operation of new
passenger train service to Reno at this time. The UP has experienced a significant
increase in freight traffic and has made a business decision to focus its efforts at
this time on addressing additional freight demand.

2005-06 — 2015-16 California State Rail Plan
Operating Plan
The Department's 10-year operating plan includes the extension of one
Capitol Corridor round-trip from Auburn to Reno/Sparks in 2008-9, and a second
round-trip in 2010-11. This rail service would be supplemented by continued
operation of existing bus service that runs over the same route as the train, but at
other times of the day. This service would require an appropriate level of financial
participation from the State of Nevada (and potentially Nevada business interests).
The Department believes this corridor is a good candidate for rail corridor service
because:
• Amtrak currently operates the Califomia Zephyr on the route so that
stations at the major destination points already exist.
• I-80 is extremely congested at tourist peak periods and there is a very
strong gaming, skiing and general recreation market in the Reno/Truckee
area.
• Current bus ridership on this route is strong.
SACRAMENTO TO REDDING
Operation of intercity rail service from Sacramento to Redding would extend
state -supported intercity rail service to a fast growing northern California area not
presently served by the state -supported intercity passenger rail network.
Background
Connecting buses to the San Joaquin and Capitol Corridor trains currently serve
the northern Sacramento Valley. Buses connect to three of the San Joaquins in
Stockton, and one in Sacramento, and travel north through Sacramento,
Marysville, Chico and Redding. Four Capitol Corridor trains in Sacramento also
have a busconnectionto Redding. Ridership on this bus route is the second
highest of all California dedicated bus routes after Los Angeles -Bakersfield, with
82,000 riders in 2004-05. Additionally, the single daily round-trip of the
Coast Starlight connects Redding and Chico with Sacramento, the Bay Area and
Los Angeles on its route from Seattle.
The most recent study on the Sacramento -Redding corridor is the Northern
Sacramento Valley Intercity Passenger Rail Study, Interim Findings Report,
produced in 1995 for the Butte County Association of Governments.
The Department in 2005 had planned a further study on this Route, which was
deferred due to the Union Pacific Railway's decision not to consider operation of
new passenger trains corridors at this time.

2005-06 — 2015-16 California State Rail Plan
proposes local funding for the new station at Palm Desert. The City of Indio
received a State -matching grant of $1.5 million to construct its new station.
The ROTC has undertaken in late 2004, a commuter rail assessment of its entire
region and is specifically looking at a route that would link Indio with Riverside
and Los Angeles. This RCTC study is examining potential ridership and revenues
for a peak -hour commuter service. The results of this region wide study will be
used by RCTC to determine potential future corridors for commuter service.
A serious impediment to intercity rail service between Los Angeles and Indio is
the Union Pacific Railway's recent decision not to consider operation of new
passenger train corridors at this time. This route has heavy freight traffic that
makes the operation of passenger service difficult.
Operating Plan
The Department's 10-year operating plan includes one daily round-trip between
Los Angeles and Indio in 2010-11 and a second daily round-trip in 2013-14.
The Department believes this extension is a good candidate for intercity rail
service because:
• There is existing Amtrak intercity rail service on a good part of the route,
and all but one station already exists.
• There is strong local support and financial commitment.
• There is existing moderate bus ridership on the route, with a growing
population.
SAN FRANCISCO TO MONTEREY
State -supported intercity rail service from San Francisco to Monterey would
connect the San Francisco Bay Area to an important tourist and population center
of the State that currently has very inadequate intercity transportation.
Background
Currently, the only Amtrak service existing between Monterey and San Francisco
is via the Coast Starlight, which provides one daily round-trip from Oakland to
Salinas, with bus connections to San Francisco from Oakland and to Monterey
from Salinas. In June 2005, Caltrans discontinued Capitol Corridor feeder bus
service from San Jose to Monterey due to low ridership.
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) has conducted,' a
number of studies on train service options between San Francisco and Monterey.
The San Francisco -Monterey Intercity Rail Service Implementation PIan was
completed in 1998. In 2003, TAMC completed the' Monterey Intercity Rail
Project Study, which included conceptual engineering, initial cost estimates and
environmental screening for the project.
130
37
Chapter X- Potential New Services
In the near -term, TAMC is planning a new service to link Monterey to
San Francisco through a combination of local service and Caltrain commuter rail
service. Starting in 2009, local light rail or bus rapid transit service is planned to
connect Monterey and Marina, and later extend to Castroville and possibly
Salinas. TAMC is concurrently working with Caltrain to extend commuter rail
service in 2009 to Salinas from its current terminus in Gilroy. The extension of
Caltrain commuter rail service to Monterey County would serve new stations in
Pajaro and Castroville and end in Salinas. TAMC is working to ensure that the
local service would connect with the Caltrain service via cross -platform transfers
in Castroville. Bus connections to work and visitor destinations, as well as transit -
oriented developments, are planned at key locations along the way in Monterey
County to maximize the usage of both services. (See Chapter IX — Commuter Rail
Services for more detail on this proposed Caltrain extension.)
In the longer term, TAMC is planning intercity rail service between Monterey and
San Francisco. The intercity service would have stops in Monterey, Marina,
Castroville, Pajaro, San Jose, San Francisco Airport (at Millbrae) and downtown
San Francisco, with a possible stop in Palo Alto. TAMC envisions two round trips
on weekdays and three on weekends for the Monterey to San Francisco service.
The proposed intercity route would use the current Caltrain owned right-of-way
between San Francisco and San Jose. The route between San Jose and Castroville
is owned by Union Pacific Railroad and used for passenger service by Caltrain to
Gilroy and by the Coast Starlight to Castroville (and beyond to Los Angeles).
TAMC purchased the Monterey Branch Line between Castroville and the Seaside
City limits from Union Pacific Railroad in 2003; the portion from Seaside to
Monterey is already owned by these cities. Currently there is no rail passenger
service on this branch line.. The Monterey Branch Line requires substantial capital
rehabilitation. Approximately $4.0 million remains in Proposition 116 funds that
can be used for the Monterey Branch line rehabilitation construction activities.
TAMC has previously secured $2.2 million in state and federal funds, and
estimates total project capital costs including capital equipment costs at
$75-$230 million depending on the type of service and equipment chosen. TAMC
plans to utilize TCRP funding, STIP funding, and future transportation sales tax to
match federal new starts funding to pay for the remainder of the capital costs.
Operating Plan
The Department proposes, contingent on the start of local service in 2009,
two intercity rail weekday round -trips and three weekend round -trips between
San Francisco and Marina, Seaside, the former Fort Ord and continuing on to
Monterey. No funding for this service is included in the 10-year operating plan, as
the start date of this route is uncertain at this time.
131
38
2005-06-2015-16 California State Rail Plan
The Department believes there are several advantages to this intercity rail service,
including:
• Monterey is an important tourist destination that currently has very
inadequate access via intercity mass transportation.
• TAMC has strong local support for rail service and is working to secure a
local transportation sales tax to help support rail projects and Chapter 103,
Statutes of 1999 (SB 886, McPherson) allows TAMC to be a party in an
operations contract between the Department and Amtrak.
• $14 million in Proposition 116 capital funds were earmarked for intercity
rail service on this Route.
LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS
In 1997, Amtrak discontinued tri-weekly Desert Wind that ran from Los Angeles
to Chicago via Las Vegas. Currently, San Joaquin trains provide connecting buses
from Bakersfield to Las. Vegas via Lancaster. Ridership on this route was 15,000
in 2004-05.
In 1998, Amtrak announced plans to start service from Los Angeles to Las Vegas
with one daily round-trip. However, due to continuing funding shortfalls and
increased capital requirements to initiate service, the new service was not
implemented.
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada began a feasibility
study on multi -frequency rail service between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area
in early 2005. This study is being funded equally by the Federal Railroad
Administration and the State of Nevada. The Department will be working with the
Commission on the study that will include ridership, cost and revenue projections;
track, station, maintenance facility and property acquisition needs; equipment
recommendations; and schedules for planning purposes.
The Department presently includes no operating or capital costs for this service in
its 10-year plan because costs and implementation schedules are dependant on the
results of the Nevada study as well as agreement between California and Nevada
on cost sharing.
HIGH-SPEED RAIL
BACKGROUND
High-speed rail has been studied in California for over a decade.
The Department participated in a number of studies in the late 1980s and early
1990s. The Department was a member of the Los Angeles -Fresno -Bay Area/
Sacramento High -Speed Rail Corridor Study Group. The group published its
report in 1990 as required by Chapter 197, Statutes of 1988 (AB 971 - Costa).
Under Chapter 1104, Statutes of 1990 (SB 1307 - Garamendi), the Department in
132
39 -
I
I
Chapter X - Potential New Services
1991, completed a work plan for a feasibility study for the development of an
integrated public, private, or combined public/private high-speed intercity and
commuter rail system. Under Proposition 116', the Department completed a
preliminary engineering and feasibility study on high-speed service between
Bakersfield and Los Angeles.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 6 (1993) established the California Intercity High -
Speed Rail Commission. This Commission, while using some Department staff
resources, was not part of the Department. The Final Report of the Commission
was sent to the Legislature at the end of 1996 andlindicated that high-speed rail is
technically, environmentally, and economically feasible, and once constructed,
could be operationally self-sufficient. The }Commission recommended a
San Francisco/San Jose/Sacramento-Central Valley -Los Angeles -San Diego
alignment. The commission also recommended using ,either very high-speed
technology of steel -wheel -on -steel -rail or magnetic levitation (maglev).
CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY
The California High -Speed Rail Act, enacted byl Chapter 796, Statutes of 1996
(SB 1420 - Kopp and Costa), established the California High -Speed Rail Authority
(CHSRA) to direct the development and implementation of intercity high-speed
rail service. The act defined high-speed rail as "intercity passenger rail service
that utilizes an alignment and technology that make it capable of sustained speeds
of 200 miles per hour or greater."
Chapter 791, Statutes of 2000 (AB 1703 - Florez), modified the CHSRA's
exclusive authorization and responsibility for planning, construction, and
operation of high-speed passenger train service to cover speeds exceeding
125 miles per hour. Previously, the CHSRA had such authorization and
responsibility for speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. AB 1703 also extended
the tenure of the CHSRA through 2003. Then in Chapter 696, Statues of 2002
(SB 796 - Costa) repealed the sunset date for the CHSRA, making it a permanent
authority. The CHSRA is composed of nine members. The Governor appoints
five members, the Senate Committee on Rules appoints two members, and the
Speaker of the Assembly appoints two members.
In 2000, the CHSRA completed its Business Plan, Building a High -Speed Train
System for California. The Business Plan found that a high-speed train system is a
smart investment in mobility, an evolutionary step; for transportation, and a project
in keeping with California's standards for environmental quality and economic
growth. The Business Plan determined that the next project step is to initiate a
formal environmental clearance process with the development of a State -level
program environmental impact report (EIR).
To implement the environmental process, the CHSRA prepared a Draft Program
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Program Environmental Impact
133
40
2005-06 — 2015-16 California State Rail Plan
Report (EIR) and a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Tier 1
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The CHSRA is the state lead agency for
CEQA and the FRA is the federal lead agency for NEPA. The draft program -level
EIR/EIS was released on January 27, 2004. After extensive review, the Final
EIR/EIS was posted on the Federal Register on September 23, 2005. The
Authority will consider certification of the Final EIR/EIS on November 2, 2005.
The EIR/EIS describes the potential environmental impacts of three transportation
system alternatives and compares how well they would meet California's current
and future transportation needs. The alternatives that were studied are:
• The "No Project/No Action" alternative, examining the state's current
transportation system, including highway and airport improvements
planned to be operational by 2020.
• High -Speed Trains: a proposed new network of electrically powered trains,
at least 700 miles long, connecting California's major metropolitan areas
and traveling 220 miles per hour.
• The "Modal" alternative, evaluating additional improvement to existing
highways and airports that could serve the same travel demand as the
proposed high-speed train system.
Based on the analysis, the California High -Speed Rail Authority and the Federal
Railroad Administration have identified the high-speed train system as the
preferred system alternative to meet California's future intercity travel demand.
Service to urban centers would be on shared tracks with other passenger rail
services at moderate speeds. Stations would be in close proximity to most major
airports, and there would be station connections with major transit hubs in
metropolitan areas. The EIR/EIS identifies preferred alignments, as follows:
• Northern Mountain Crossing a broad corridor containing a number of
feasible route options have been identified for further study. The corridor
is bounded by Pacheco Pass (SR-152) to the south, Aitamont Pass (I-580)
to the north, BNSF corridor to the east, and Caltrain to the west.
• Southern Mountain Crossing — through the Techachapi Mountain Range
between Los Angeles and Bakersfield via a crossing through Palmdale and
the Antelope Valley.
• Bay Area — service on the Peninsula and in the East Bay
• Central Valley — Highway 99 corridor (mostly BNSF alignment)
• San Diego — via I-215/ I-15 corridor to downtown
• Orange County - Los Angeles to Orange County via Pacific Surfliner
Route.

On Time Performance (95% Goal)
Riverside Line
Month
February on -time performance averaged 83% inbound (+7% from January) and
67% outbound (-9% from January). There were 57 delays greater than five
minutes during the month of February. The following were the primary causes:
Riverside Line On Time Performance Follow Up
The Union Pacific major track replacement program has significantly impacted train
service on the Riverside Line in February and March causing a temporary migration
in ridership to other routes and a drop in on time performance. Train service was
disrupted between Riverside and Los Angeles for about 20 service days over the
two months. Metrolink's plan to accommodate the passengers with bus bridges
and additional cars on parallel service along the 91 Line was successful, which
helped to minimize disruption for the passengers. The bus connections carried only
a handful of riders and most people drove to alternative stations. The on time
performance was poor for March at 75% and on one day there were significant
delays of up to two hours due to the UP congestion and track work. Metrolink's
Quality .Service Pledge provided compensation for those riders who endured the
multiple hour delay. Metrolink will also discount future monthly 'passes for
Riverside Line users once, the project is complete.

Passenger trips on Metrolink's 91 Line for the month of February averaged 2,483
an increase of 492 riders or (+25%) from the month of January. The line has
averaged an increase of 31 % from a year ago February 2005. Most of the
increase was the conversion of the Riverside Line riders to the 91 Line due to the
UP construction.

Congress will not happen immediately, but depending on what passes it could
impact the possibility of future earmarks especially in transportation bills. Much of
the earmarking controversy gained added attention because of the thousands of
earmarks that were part of SAFETEA LU in 2005. Staff does not recommend a
position on this legislation but will monitor the bill as it continues through the
process.
State Update
Legislature Contemplates Implementation of SAFETEA LU Provision
Staff recommends a SUPPORT position on SB 1812 by Palmdale Senator George
Runner that would ensure that California meets the requirements to apply for the
assumption of NEPA authority. This is a provision included in SAFETEA LU that
creates a pilot program to allow five states to be designated NEPA authority. The
idea behind the program is to eliminate duplicative and sometimes contradictory
environmental reviews that result from the confluence of state and federal
requirements. The hope would be to cut down on the time needed to process
environmental documents.
SB 1812 would have the state accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts for
carrying out the responsibilities assumed by the state under NEPA and waives the
state's Eleventh Amendment protection against lawsuits brought in federal court.
While this has the potential of exposing the state to some legal liability, Caltrans
has concluded that the risk is outweighed by the advantage of streamlined
environmental reviews. Caltrans is the sponsor of this legislation and is actively
seeking to participate in the program. The final implementation of the program will
probably not take place until late this year after the promulgation of federal
regulations in order to implement it. Commission staff recommends a SUPPORT
position on this bill for the potential time savings on projects. RCTC's past success
with the RCIP program also proves that environmental streamlining can result in
cost savings while protecting natural resources.
Assembly Bill 2630 - PUC Funding for Grade Separations
Another bill that staff is seeking a SUPPORT position for is AB 2630 by local
Assemblyman John Benoit. The bill deals with PublicUtilities Commission funding
of grade separations and would eliminate a current restriction in state law that has
the potential of unfairly penalize local agencies including the City of Riverside.
Current law states that a local jurisdiction that receives state funding for a grade
separation is no longer eligible for funding for a period of ten years after the
approval of the previous project. Given the number of grade crossing projects
required in Riverside County, this restriction limits the area's access to this funding

Call for Projects Guidelines
At its December 2005 meeting, the Commission authorized the release of a Call for
Projects (Call) and approved the evaluation criteria for the Call. The guidelines for
the Call for Projects are as follows:
• Eligible Projects encompass Tier 1 and 2 grade crossings (approved in
October 2005) with an allowance for additional crossings substantially
impacted by switching activities:

• Evaluation criteria of submittals emphasizes Project Delivery;
• Maximum award of $7.5 million (federal) per grade separation project with
an additional allowance of $7.5 million from the commercial paper program
via a 10-year loan per project, if requested by applicant in accordance with
Commission policy; and
• Application submissions limited to 2 per jurisdiction.
Agenda Item 8
55
Local agency staff actively participated in the Call development process. Their
input was constructive and led to effective collaboration in designing the Call. The
process was initiated by performing a switching analysis on four Tier 3 crossings
(Streeter Avenue, Brockton Avenue, and Riverside Avenue in the city of Riverside
and 22nd Street in the city of Banning) to determine if there was a substantial
impact on delay from switching activity that would impact their total score. The
incorporation of switching delay substantially increased the total scores of the
Streeter Avenue and Riverside Avenue crossings so as to move their priority group
up from Tier 3, thereby making them eligible for the Call. While the total scores of
the Brockton Avenue and 22"d Street crossings did increase, it was not significant
enough to move them out of Priority Group 3.
A Constraint Analysis was performed on the 23 eligible crossings by
Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc (PB). The purpose was to identify
right-of-way impacts, aesthetics, community impacts, and constructability of a
grade separation at each crossing. PB then developed general cost estimates for
each crossing in conjunction with the local agencies. The total cost estimates for
the 23 crossings exceeds $896 million. Given that $31 million is available for the
Call, the application submittals focused on project readiness.
Award Recommendation of $21 Million
A total of six projects from five agencies requesting $21 million were received:

construction of other railroad grade separation projects in the city.
Agenda Item 8

The constraint analysis and cost estimates were useful in outlining project delivery
challenges. Specifically, the general cost estimates outlined in the attachment
indicate that the award should support projects that are further along in the
development process, while also recognizing the need to support project
development for affordable and deliverable priority projects. The project benefits of
these crossings are outlined below:

Unprogrammed Balance of $10.25 Million
Staff and the local agencies recognize the need for timely use of funds for project
delivery. Therefore, the recommendation is that the remaining unprogrammed
balance of $10.25 million be designated for construction of eligible projects
designated as Tier 1 and 2 Crossings. Jurisdictions are able to submit their
application for these funds whenever the project is shelf ready and the jurisdiction
has a funding plan for delivery.

according to these percentages. Caltrans is able to transfer $889,000 of
unexpended funds from a previous project (conventional project that was
completed prior to the design -sequencing project) to the design -sequencing project
thereby reducing the amount from $27 million to $26.111 million. Applying the
proportional split to the $26.111 million results in RCTC's share of the cost at
$22.194 million and Caltrans' share at $3.806 million.
Caltrans Headquarters, District 08, and RCTC propose the following to cover the
$27 million cost increase:
Amount
Fund Type
$ 889, 000
TCRP funds available after completion of the
conventional project constructed prior to the design
sequencing project launch.
$ 16.3 million
TCRP funds reprogrammed from the SR-91 HOV lane
project (included in RCTC's 2006 STIP proposal) to the
60/91 /215 Interchange project.
$ 6.005 million
RCTC unallocated CMAQ and/or STP funds.
$ 3.806 million
State funds from a supplemental allocation to the
60/91 /215 Interchange project anticipated to occur at
the July 2006 CTC meeting.
$27 million
Total
RCTC Actions
RCTC's actions involve two different fund sources. Staff is recommending
reprogramming Traffic Congestion Relief Program (TCRP) funds from the SR-91
High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane project, Adams Street to the 60/91/215
Interchange, to the 60/91 /215 Interchange design -sequencing project. Staff is
anticipating the $16.3 million taken from the 91 HOV lane project will be replaced
by federal and/or local funds.
The advantage of allocating TCRP funds on the 60/91 /215 Interchange project is
that TCRP funds are available now. As a result of the State's budget crisis, TCRP
funds were suspended and just recently renewed. Having access to these funds,
regardless of the project, is definitely to the Commission's advantage since the
availability of TCRP funds in the future is still questionable.
Staff is also recommending programming unallocated SAFETEA LU Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program and/or Surface Transportation Program
(STP) funds .in the amount of $6.005 million : on the 60/91 /215 Interchange
design -sequencing project. This action does not impact other committed
programmed projects.

•
Caltrans' Actions
As mentioned, Caltrans proposes to transfer $889,000 of unexpended funds from
a prior project to the 60/91 /21 5 Interchange design -sequencing project. In
addition, Caltrans will request an allocation of Interregional Improvement Program
(IIP) funds in the amount of $3.806 million.
This proposal, if approved by the Commission, will be presented to the California
Transportation Commission (CTC) at their April 26-27, 2006 meeting by means of
a TCRP amendment and allocation vote request, and a supplemental vote request
for the IIP funds.

Late last year, the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority (ROCA) was formally.
incorporated with the Secretary of State by MWD and the Municipal Water District
of Orange County. The Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County has
also signed the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA). Two meetings of the
ROCA have been held to date. A copy of the JPA is attached to this agenda item
(Attachment 1).
On March 24, the JPA formally invited the Riverside County Transportation
Commission to join ROCA (Attachment 2).
Ideally, forming a new layer of government in the form of a JPA can be redundant
and unnecessary unless there are extenuating circumstances. Quite often it is
more efficient to agree to a memorandum of understanding that spells out each
party's responsibilities instead of forming a new agency. Indeed, RCTC staff has
worked closely with the staff of OCTA and TCA as part of the MIS. The
relationship worked effectively and the agencies jointly contracted for engineering
support.
Regardless the past success, the completion of the MIS last December moves the
efforts into a new phase. With many of the recommendations from the MIS, RCTC
and OCTA are working with Caltrans regarding preliminary engineering for the
widening of State Route 91 and for a new parallel corridor. The outcome of these
efforts will be brought back to the Commission later this year. Improvements on
the SR-91 are on a much faster track than planning and study for a new corridor
between Corona and Irvine that would run through and/or under the Cleveland
National Forest. Given the long-term nature of this new corridor, this is an
opportune time to consider a different arrangement on the next steps.
Staff believes that it would be prudent to accept the invitation to join the Riverside
Orange Corridor Authority for the following reasons:
1) Congressional Intent: Congressmen Calvert and Miller have both expressed
their strong support for a new corridor between Riverside and Orange
County. With their support, funding has been made available and the
possibility exists to continue working with their offices as this project
unfolds. Attachment 3 is a letter signed by Representatives Calvert and
Miller that express their support for ROCA. The Congressional intent is
clear.
2) Transportation Needs Must. Remain the Top Priority: What is also clear is the
wording of the actual earmark. While the funding is directed to ROCA, the
earmark clearly states that the money is to study and construct highway
Agenda Item 10

alternatives and is to be guided by the MIS. The funding will come from the
Federal Highway Administration and will be approved only for transportation
purposes.
3) Favorable Standing for Transportation Agencies on the JPA Board: The
articles of incorporation create a nine -member Board of Directors. Three
seats are to be held by representatives of water agencies, three seats are to
be held by representatives from RCTC and the final three seats are to be held
by representatives of transportation agencies in Orange County. No action
can be taken without approval by 314 of the Board of Directors which
effectively provides the Commission with veto power over any action.
4) Continued Progress of the MIS: The outcome of the MIS clearly showed the
need for tunneling in order to develop a new corridor. Eventually it may be
conclude that combining a tunnel for transportation and water might not be
possible, however, there are many opportunities to share information to
determine the best way to move forward. Currently, there are a number of
good reasons to work with the MWD because all of the agencies need to do
geotechnical borings and other analyses. By working together, we can
achieve efficiencies and get the needed information to move forward.
5) Combined Efforts Can Result in Dividends: While a number of
Commissioners have expressed concerns about the objectives and intent of
MWD, their stature and financial resources can be helpful to this effort. The
combined voice of MWD and transportation agencies from both counties will
undoubtedly be heard in Washington, Sacramento and with potential private
investors who may be needed if a project is ever developed.
The next meeting of ROCA is scheduled in late April and will likely take place at
Corona City Hall. Staff recommends that RCTC join the agency and that the
Chairman of the Commission be authorized to appoint the three members to the
Board of Directors. Staff also recommends legal counsel review of the articles of
incorporation and that any concerns regarding the language of the JPA be
expressed and made a condition of membership.

liabilities incurred by the Authority prior to the date of notification of the Party's withdrawal.
VIII. TERMINATION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
8.1 The Authority shall continue to exercise the joint powers herein until the
termination of this Agreement and any extension thereof or until the Parties shall

continue to exist for the purposes of: disposing of all claims, parties advancing funds
to the Authority and satisfaction of other covenants contained in the reimbursement
agreements with such parties, distribution of assets and all other functions necessary
to conclude the affairs of the Authority.

9.4 Arbitration
Any controversy or claim between any two or more Parties, or between any such
Party or Parties and the Authority, in respect to the Authority's operations, or to any
claims, disputes, demands, differences, controversies, or misunderstandings arising
under, out of, or in relation to this Agreement, shall be submitted to and determined
by arbitration. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the rules of the American
Arbitration Association shall apply. The Party desiring to initiate arbitration shall give.
notice of its intention to arbitrate to every other Party and the Authority. Such notice
shall designate as "respondents" such other Parties as the initiating Party intends to
have bound by any award made therein. Any Party not so designated but which
desires to join in the arbitration may, within ten (10) days of service upon it of such
notice, file a response indicating its intention to join in and to be bound by the results
of the arbitration, and further designating any other Parties it wishes to name as a
respondent. Within twenty (20) days of the service of the initial demand for
arbitration, the American Arbitration Association, hereinafter referred to as "AAA,"
shall submit simultaneously to the initiating and to all Parties named as respondents
or filing a response therein, an identical list of names and persons chosen from AAA
National Panel of Arbitrators which persons shall be, to the extent possible, persons
first in the field of transportation as well as public law. Each Parry to the dispute shall
have seven (7) days from the mailing date in which to cross off any names indicating
the order of his or her preference, and return the list with such time period, all persons
named therein shall be deemed acceptable. From among the persons who have been
approved on both lists, in accordance with the designated order of mutual preference,
the AAA shall invite the acceptance of an arbitrator to serve. If the Parties fail to
agree upon one of the persons named, the acceptable arbitrator is unable to act, or if
for any other reason the appointment cannot be made from the submitted list, the
AAA shall have the power to make the appointment of the arbitrator from other
members of the panel without the submission of any additional list.
The arbitrator shall proceed to arbitrate the matter in accordance with the provisions
of Title 9 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil procedure.
9.5 Partial Invalidity
If any or more of the terms, provisions, sections, promises, covenants or conditions of
this Agreement shall to any extent be adjudged invalid, unenforceable, void or
voidable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, each and all.
of the remaining terms, provisions, sections, promises, covenants and conditions of
this Agreement shall not be effected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

Mr. Bill Campbell
Chairman
Riverside County to Orange County Major Investment Study Policy Committee
550 South Main Street
P.O. Box 14184
Orange, CA 92863-1584
Dear Chairman Campbell:
The most significant issues in Southem California today are traffic congestion and
the availability of water to the residents of our region. We firmly believe we need to
address these problems by considering and further exploring a multi -pronged approach to
create a long-term solution to relieve congestion and increase the availability of water
resources between Riverside and Orange Counties in Southern California.
As the Riverside County to Orange County Major Investment Study Policy
Committee (MIS) considers all options to reduce congestion between Orange and
Riverside Counties, we would like to reiterate our support for the Riverside Orange
Corridor Authority (ROCA) to further study the feasibility of constructing a tunnel
through the Cleveland National Forest to connect transportation and water to these
thriving communities. Understanding that this alternative requires further geotechnical
and geophysical research to determine if the tunnel is a viable option, we recommend that
the final MIS recommendation refer further research of Corridor B to ROCA.
SAFETEA-LU included $15.8 million to study and construct highway alternatives
between Orange and Riverside counties, directed by ROCA, working with the local
government and transportation authorities and guided by the current MIS. We view the
ROCA studies as being complementary to the MIS process by considering all multi -use
opportunities in this corridor. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to ensure the study
of the tunnel alternative will continue.
Sincerely,
GARY G. MILLER ' ICED CALVERT

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Plans and Programs Committee
Anne Mayer, Programming and Administration Director

Eric Haley, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
2006 State Transportation Improvement Program Priorities
PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to approve prioritization of projects included in the
2006 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) submittal for Riverside
County.
,BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2006 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is scheduled for
adoption at the April California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting.
In January 2006, the Commission submitted a recommendation to the CTC for
review and earlier this month Commissioner Steve Adams testified on behalf of the
Commission's program at the Southern California STIP hearings. CTC staff is in the
process of reviewing submittals and testimony and will be finalizing their
recommendations by April 7, 2006. In recent discussions, CTC staff has indicated
that minimal funding will be available for programming therefore it is essential that
the Commission prioritize projects included in the proposal. CTC staff has also
recommended that the Commission provide the prioritization as soon as possible.
There were three funding scenarios that were presented in the fund estimate to
utilize for programming:
• Target Scenario — $167 million new programming capacity.
This scenario assumes programming of county shares through FY 2010/11.
• Minimum Scenario — $45.5 million new programming capacity.
This scenario assumes programming of county shares through FY 2007/08.
• Maximum Scenario — $197.3 million new programming capacity.
This scenario assumes county shares through FY 2011/12.
Agenda item 11
87
The Commission's submittal was based on the Target Scenario. CTC staff is now
indicating that programming levels on average are likely to be less than 20% of
target scenario capacity due to the lack of available highway funds. The only
exceptions will be in the counties, such as Riverside, with higher minimum
amounts.
CTC staff has indicated that the funding requested for the Perris Valley Line project
is likely to be allocated because it is eligible for Public Transportation Account
(PTA) funding.
Staff recommends submitting the following priorities to CTC staff:
1. $12.635 million to the State Route 60 HOV lanes from Interstate 15 to
Valley Way.
2. $15 million to Coachella Valley priority project.
3. $23.1 million to SR-91 HOV project for right-of-way acquisition.
4. $7.349 million to SR-60/I-215 East Junction Connector.

2006 State Transportation Improvement
Recommendations for Programming
Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to approve the 2006 State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) as proposed in Attachment 2 including the following
recommendations:
1) Carryover 2004 STIP state highway projects into the 2006 STIP;
2) Delete $16.882 million of local arterial projects from the 2004 STIP
and reprogram with federal funds, and reprogram the $16.882 million
of STIP funds on the SR 91 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane
project;
3) Maintain the Commission's commitment to fund the SR 91 HOV lane
project by programming $91.3 million of 2006 STIP Western County
Formula funds;
4) Support Caltrans in reprogramming $8 million of STIP/IIP funding from
the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) land
acquisition project and S23.183 *15.483 million of STIP/IIP funding
from the AB 3090 agreements on the SR 60 HOV lane and
SR 91/Green River interchange improvement projects to the 60/215
East Junction connector project;
5) Program $1.849 *2.5 million of CMAQ funds on the 60/215 East
Junction connector project to complete funding on this project;
6) Maintain the Commission's commitment to fund the SR 91 HOV lano
60/215 East Junction connector project by reprogramming $7.349
million of STIP/R/P funds from the AB 3090 agreements on the SR 60
HOV lane and SR 91/Green River interchange improvement projects;
7) Program 2006 STIP Eastern County Formula funds as proposed by the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments to cover cost increases
on the 1-10 Interchanges at Bob Hope/Ramon Road, Gene Autry
Trail/Palm Drive, and Date Palm Drive;
Agenda Item 9
89
8) Enter into an agreement with Palo Verde Valley on trading 2006 STIP
Palo Verde Valley Formula funds in the amount of $1.315 with
Commercial Paper and programming the STIP funds on the 91 HOV'
lane project;
9) Program $30 million of STIP funds on the Perris Valley Line project in
exchange for local funds on the SR 91 HOV project;
10) Reprogram $3.465 million of STIP funds from the City of Riverside's
local arterial widening project on Van Buren Boulevard to the
SR 91 /Van Buren Boulevard interchange project as proposed by the
City of Riverside; and
1 1) Work with Ca!trans in programming an additional $4 million of STIP/IIP
funds to cover the cost increase on the North Main Corona Metrolink
Station Parking Structure project currentlyprogrammed in the STIP
with Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 2006 STIP Fund Estimate (FE) was adopted at the September 29, 2005
California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting. The 2006 FE provides
five-year estimates (fiscal years 2006-07 through 2010-1 1) for the State Highway
Account (SHA), the Public Transportation Account (PTA), the Transportation
Investment Fund (TIF), and the Transportation Deferred Investment Fund (TDIF)
(repayment of prior year TIF transfers). The SHA is primarily used for the state
mandated Safety Highway Operation Protection Program (SHOPP). The suspension
of the TIF and TDIF to address the state budget shortfall over the past few years
leaves the PTA as the most reliable fund source for the 2006 STIP. Of the $ 1.8
billion statewide total available for STIP programming, $1.35 billion will come from
the PTA. As a result, PTA eligible projects are encouraged to be included in county
STIP submittals.
The 2006 STIP FE includes three funding scenarios (Target, Minimum, and
Maximum) that assume Proposition 42 funding and receipt of Tribal Gaming Bond
proceeds. Given that there is no certainty that Proposition 42 funding will made
available and that receipt of Tribal Gaming Bond proceeds are dependent upon the
outcome of ongoing litigation, it is very possible that the programming scenarios
may not materialize. However, there is a strong statewide momentum among
transportation agencies and the legislature to support the continuance and
protection of Proposition 42 funds that could prove to be a positive impact on the
2006 STIP. Further, the SB 1024 "Infrastructure Mega Bond" proposal would also
shed light on the STIP if approved by the voters by providing another fund source
for projects currently seeking STIP funding. Although the funding picture is unclear
at this point, we are required to prepare and submit a STIP by January 30, 2006 in
accordance with the adopted FE.

Target Scenario Recommendations (refer to Attachment 2):
#1 Carryover 2004 STIP state highway projects into the 2006 STIP
Maintain the current state highway projects in the proposed fiscal
years.
#2 Delete local arterial projects from the 2004 STIP and reprogram with federal
funds.
Given that local arterial projects are a low priority when the state has
limited funding, staff is recommending trading STIP funds with other
federal funds (CMAO or RSTP) to keep projects on schedule. Local
agencies will be required to provide a local match (11.47%).
#3 Maintain the Commission's commitment to fund the SR 91 High Occupancy
Vehicle lane project by programming $91.3 million of STIP Western County
Formula funds for the right-of-way and construction phases on the 91 HOV
project.
In 1998, the Commission committed Western County STIP Formula
funds from 2000, through 2008 STIP cycles to fully fund the SR 91
HOV project.
#4 Support Caltrans in reprogramming $8 million of IIP funding from the Multiple
Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) land acquisition project and
$23.483 $15.483 million from the AB 3090 agreements on SR 60 HOV and
SR 91 /Green River interchange projects to the 60/215 East Junction
Connector project.
Measure "A" funds will be used instead of the llP funds to acquire the
required acreage for the MSHCP, which will allow the land purchase to
occur earlier than when Caltrans proposed in the STIP. The 60/215
East Junction project is eligible for IIP funds and Caltrans will be
reprogramming the STIP/IIP funds from the AB 3090 agreements to
the 60/215 East Junction connector project that will be fully funded
(refer to recommendation #5).
#5 Approve the programming of $1.849 million of CMAQ funds on the 60/21`5
East Junction connector project to complete funding on this project.
The total project cost for the 60/215 East Junction is $33.332 million.
The CMAO funds in addition to the IIP funds (refer to item #4 and
Attachment 3) will complete the funding needs for this project.

#11 Work with Ca!trans in programming an additional $4 million of IIP funds to
cover the cost increase on the North Main Corona Metrolink Station 'Parking
Structure project currently programmed in the STIP with Interregional
Improvement Program (IIP) funds.
The North Main Corona Metrolink'"Station Parking Structure has
experienced a significant cost increase above $15 million. The initial
cost estimate of $11 million is programmed in the STIP with IIP funds.
The remainder of the cost increase is proposed to be funded with
Section 5307 funds.
In addition to meeting previous commitments to complete funding on the 91 HOV
lane (from Adams to the 60/91 /215 interchange) and the 60/215 East Junction
Connector projects (refer to Attachment 3), the Target Scenario proposes the
deletions of local arterial projects currently programmed in the 2004 STIP. Over
the past three years, when STIP allocations are limited due to lack of sufficient
funds, allocation plans are developed. These allocation plans rank categories of
projects in priority order. Local arterial projects tend to be ranked very close to the
bottom, and therefore, these projects stand a good chance of being delayed if they
stay in the STIP and the State continues to have funding problems. Staff is
proposing to replace the STIP funds with other federal funds (e.g. Regional Surface
Transportation Program (RSTP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ))
as noted in Attachment 2. Should the Commission approve this action staff will
follow up with changing the fund sources in the Federal Transportation
Improvement Program (FTIP). Lastly, the STIP funds freed up from the deleted
local arterial projects ($16.882 million) would be reprogrammedon the 91 HOV
lane project.
Palo Verde Valley Formula funds historically have been programmed on local
arterials. It is proposed to delete one of the current STIP projects on Lovekin
Boulevard and reprogram the RIP funds on the other current STIP project on US
95/Intake Boulevard. Staff is recommending trading Palo Verde Valley Formula
funds in the amount of $1.315 million with commercial paper since the needs of
Palo Verde Valley are on the local arterials. A formal agreement will be developed
and presented to the Commission in the near future.
Given that PTA funds seem to be the most reliable fund source in the 2006 STIP,
staff reviewed existing transit/rail needs for consideration of STIP funds.
Therefore, it is recommended that we trade local funds on the Perris Valley Line
project with STIP funding so that the local funds can be used on the SR 91 HOV
project. This would also help meet the STIP programming needs of including PTA
eligible projects. Lastly, having STIP funding on the Perris Valley Line will provide
State participation, which should help secure future federal funds.

REVISION TO AGENDA ITEM 11
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON
DATE:
April 12, 2006
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Shirley Medina, Program Manager
'THROUGH:
Eric Haley, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
2006 State Transportation Improvement Program — CTC
Recommendations
'PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the (,',Commission to:
1) Receive and file the 2006 State Transportation Improvement Program
California Transportation Commission Staff Recommendations;
2) Reaffirm RCTC's commitment of programming 2008 STIP and other currently
available local Measure A and/or federal funds (CMAQ and RSTP) to the
SR 91 HOV project, from Adams to Mary Street, to complete funding of the
construction phase;
3) Adjust the imbalance of 2006 STIP Intra-county formula funds in the 2008
STIP; and
4) Work with Palo Verde Valley on substitute funding for the deleted STIP
project on Intake Boulevard.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
d
On April 7, 2006 -the California Transportation Commission (CTC) released their
staff recommendations for the 2006 State Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP). These recommendations will be presented for approval at the April 26-27,
2006 CTC meeting.',' The 2006 STIP adds two new years of programming providing
a total of $5.895 billion in funding covering fiscal years 2006/07 — 2010/11.
Unfortunately, the outcome of the recommendations (Attachment A) reflect
Riverside County programming levels at just above our minimum programming
capacity at $49.71 1 million (minimum level was $45.5 million). As you may recall,
I
R.
V

, I i
I
our January 30, 2006 STIP submittal included programming at the estimated
"Target" level, which was'!I $167 million of newt capacity.
,,1, o j
u
The reason for the decrease in programming, is [that^ there isn't enough funding
available for highway and road projects. I;; Only .$455 million of new cepacity is
available statewide for highway and road projects: The total statewide request for
highway and road'funding was $1:23 b Ilion. ;As a result,' most counties are being
held to less than 20% of their target levelaleav ng out $-780 million in highway and
road proposals from the 'STIP. RiversideCounty; received approxiinately 30% of
the estimate target. This is attributable to the addition of the Perris Valley Line
project for $30 million. „ ° f
G 9
II
j
As for rail and transit programming, $1.355_ billion is the statewide amount
available for programming in the 2006 STIP. tThe statewide programming request
for rail and transit, projects is $625 mi lion. liThis leaves $730 million n rail and
transit capacity unprogrammed in the STIP; Additional transit and rail projects may
be amended into the STIP, using this unprogrammed capacity.
° i t
The disparity between thIle "highway and 'head" projects and the "rail and transit"
projects highlights the need and imbalance of 'highway projects and availability of
highway funding. ,There were a few countiesthat had more rail and transit projects
in their STIP submittals and were eble to receive funding et or above their minimum
targets. These a enciee included the L"os] Angeles ° Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (LAMTA), the Metropolitan! Transportation Commission (MTC), and
Sacramento County. In areas with population' growth or lack. of density, the
demand for highways, and roads far outweighs the need for programming rail and
transit projects in the STIiP. ° i

is outlined as follows: I I 1;. '

j ,
Palm Drive/Gene Autry Interchange, and the Intake Blvd widening and signal
project.
Note: the Jefferson Interchange and Intake Boulevard projects were
previously included in the 2004 STIP.
Funding for Planning, Programming, and Monitoring (PPM) will be reduced from
$3.342 million to $994,220 to reflect the Commission's policy to program up to
2% of new capacity for planning, programming and monitoring activities. The
funds will be reprogrammed to an existing project and/or ,will remain in the
unprogrammed county share balance for future programming.
The STIP recommendations include the AB3090 reprogramming commitments from
the SR 60 HOV, Valley Way to 1-15, and SR 91 /Green River Interchange projects to
the 60/215 East Junction, which is now fully funded. Further the AB 3090 cash
reimbursements for the 60/91/215 IC ($31 million) and the PPM ($166,000) are
'still in place and will be repaid in fiscal year 2006/07 and 2007/08 respectively.
{I
Riverside County's unprogrammed county share balance is now at $117 million.
There have been previous commitments made by the Commission to dedicate
future Western County STIP funding to the 91 HOV project. Staff is seeking
reaffirmation of this commitment and direction to program uncommitted funds from
Measure A, federal fund sources (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
,and Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds) and 2008 STIP funding
to complete the 91HOV construction funding.
!Staff is also recommending working with Palo Verde Valley on replacement funds
for the Intake Boulevard project that is being deleted. Coachella Valley Association
of Governments will work with its member agencies on funding for those projects
not recommended for programming.
The 2006 STIP Intra-county formula (Attachment B) has been revised to reflect the
programming capacity at $49.71 1 million. Given that the 2006 STIP new program
,capacity for Coachella Valley is $12.654 million and the Coachella Valley received
'$13.631 million (additional funds programmed on Ramon Road minus the funds
from the 1-10 Jefferson project that was carried over from the 2004 STIP and now
deleted), an adjustment to the 2008 STIP will be made to reduce the Coachella
Valley formula. by;,„$977,000. In addition, a review of the STIP Intra-county
Formula will be conducted to ensure that the subregions have received their fair
share since the 1998 STIP.
