Month
Daily passenger trips on Metrolink's Riverside Line for the month of May averaged
4,768, which is up 244 (+5%) from the month of April. Compared to one year prior,
the Line averaged an overall daily increase of 459 passenger trips, nearly 11% more
than a year ago, May 2005. This indicates the Line is continuing its recovery from
recent drops in ridership due to construction, thanks in large part to the 50% discount
approved through May for passengers on the Riverside Line.

AGENDA ITEM 6B
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON
DATE:
June 26, 2006
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Brian Cunanan, Staff Analyst
Robert Yates, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Stephanie Wiggins, Director of Regional Programs
SUBJECT:
FY 2006/07 Measure A Commuter Assistance Buspool Subsidy
Funding Continuation Requests
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Authorize payment of $1,645/month per buspool for the period
July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007 to the existing Riverside, Moreno
Valley, Corona and Mira Loma buspools; and
2) Forward to Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the Measure A Commuter Assistance Program, the Commission provides
funding support to buspools used by Riverside County residents for their commutes
along the Route 91 and Route 60 corridors. The Commission adopted the Measure
A buspool subsidy in October 1990 and established a monthly subsidy rate of
$1,175 or $25/seat/month in support of commuter buspool operations. To provide
additional guidance, the Commission also established a minimum buspool ridership.
policy in June 1995. The policy requires staff to report to the Commission when a
buspool's ridership falls to 25 or below and seek direction regarding the
continuation of the buspool's subsidy. In July 2004, the Commission set the
subsidy rate to $35/seat/month to help with increased operational costs realized by
buspool riders during the previous 14 years. While the monthly cost of each
buspool varies according to the number of route miles and the resulting negotiated
service price, the Commission's monthly subsidy reflects a subsidy rate of 16%.

The four existing buspools have completed all the requirements for funding as set
forth by the Commission including submittal of monthly ridership reports and
annual funding continuation requests. They have consistently exceeded the
minimum ridership level of 25 riders per month and have collectively averaged 42
riders/month/buspool this current fiscal year.

It is estimated that nearly 5.6 million miles were saved in FY 2006/07 by the
current buspool operation. In addition, while considering other factors such as the
reduction of vehicles on Route 91 and Route 60 during peak periods and the
elimination of mobile source emissions, the annual buspool subsidy is an effective
use of Measure A commuter assistance funds.

Of the $138,552,083 dollar amount identified in the above chart, approximately
$40.5 million is derived from 1) passenger fares, 2) Western Riverside TUMF fees,
3) miscellaneous other revenue and 4) commuter rail member agencies' revenue
share. The remaining balance of approximately $98 million ($138.5 million - $40.5
million) consists of federal, state and local funds that are allocated through
Commission action.
, ALLOCATION OF FY 2006/07 FUNDING
Federal Funding: Section 5307, Section 5309 and Section 5311
Section 5307 Formula Funds
On an annual basis, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) distributes. federal
' operating and capital block grant funds to urbanized areas through its Section 5307
Program. There are four urbanized areas in Riverside County:
1) Riverside/San Bernardino;
2) Hemet/San Jacinto;.
3) Temecula/Murrieta; and
4) Indio/Cathedral City/Palm Springs.
Prior to an operator submitting its Section 5307 grant application to FTA, the
Commission must develop and approve a Program of Projects (POP) for each
urbanized area and conduct a public hearing. Attachment 1 consists of the
proposed Section 5307 POPs for Riverside County; they contain projects identified
in the SRTPs. The draft POPs, if not amended through the public hearing process,
will become final as presented and will be included in an approved Regional
Transportation Improvement Program and subsequently forwarded to the Southern
California Association of Governments for review and processing.
The actual Section 5307 apportionments for FY 2006/07 will not be known until
later this calendar year when final appropriations are made by Congress. The
Program of Projects were developed at the highest anticipated funding amount to
allow the operators to proceed with their grant applications and to avoid delays
associated with program amendments and additional paperwork should the actual
apportionments come in lower than estimated. Balances, if any, will be carried
over to subsequent fiscal years and will be made available to meet future transit
needs.
Section 5309 Discretionary Funds
The Section 5309 program provides capital assistance, on a discretionary basis, for
new and replacement buses and related facilities. For FY 2006/07, the Riverside
13
Transit Agency -IRTA) and SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) have identified
projects totaling $1,814,299 in Section 5309 discretionary funds. Prior to the
operators accessing these funds, the projects must be included in an approved
Regional Transportation Improvement Program.
Section 5311 Formula and Discretionary Funds
The Section 5311 Rural Transit Assistance Program available through the FTA
provides federal operating assistance funds for rural transit operators. These funds
are administered by Caltrans and the majority of the funds are passed through to
counties based on a population formula. The remaining funds, if, sufficient to
justify a call for projects, are awarded in a statewide discretionary program by
Caltrans for rural capital projects and intercity bus programs. Transit operators in
counties where formula funds are fully programmed submit projects for
discretionary funding to Caltrans. In order for grants to be approved, the
Commission must develop and approve a Section 5311 Program of Projects.
This year's program was prepared using the FY 2005/06 funding level for transit
operations. As with the Section 5307 program, the actual apportionments will not
be known until later this calendar year when final appropriations are made by
Congress. By programming at what may be a higher level of funding, the operators
will be able to apply for maximum funding and avoid delays and additional work to
amend programs and grants.
Section 5311 Formula Program
The proposed program allocates the estimated $635,973 in formula funds for
Riverside County in FY 2006/07 to RTA at 61.7% and SunLine at 38.3%. The
61.7%/38.3% formula was approved by the Commission in 1987 and was based
on the level of service each agency operated in the non -urbanized areas of the
county. In FY 2002/03, Commission staff discussed the formula with staff from
RTA and SunLine to determine if the formula was still applicable. Both agencies
agreed that the formula should remain at the current percentage splits.
Following is the proposed FY 2006/07 Section 5311 Program of Projects:

Both RTA and SunLine identified the use of Section 5311 formula funds for
operating during FY 2006/07. Should additional funds be identified, available funds
will be carried over and available for programming in FY 2007/08.
Discretionary Section 5311 Funds
RTA has identified the use of $39,480 in discretionary Section 5311 funding for
the use of shelters and benches for rural bus stops. It is not known at this time
whether Caltrans will release an additional call for projects in FY 2006/07 for
discretionary rural transit projects. Should Caltrans release a call for projects, all
transit operators will be contacted about the availability of funds.
Transportation Development Act Funding
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides two major sources of funding
for public transportation. The first, the Local Transportation Fund (LTF), provides
for a Y4 cent of the 71/4% state retail sales tax collected in each county. The State
Board of Equalization returns the sales tax revenues to the County of Riverside
where it is held until the Commission provides written allocation instructions for
disbursement. For FY 2006/07, it is estimated that LTF revenue for transit
services will be $63,256,158.
State Transit Assistance (STA) funding is the second source of TDA funds. STA
funds are generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel (gasoline
and diesel). The STA funds are appropriated to the State Controller for allocation
by formula to each TPA. RCTC is responsible for the allocation of these funds for
Riverside County. The formula allocates 50% of the funds on the basis of the
region's population compared to the State's population (STA 99313 Funds). The
remaining 50% is allocated according to the prior year proportion of the region's
transit operator passenger fare and local support revenues (STA 99314 Funds).
According to the State Controller's Office, the amount of STA funds projected to
be received in Riverside County for FY 2006/07 is $6,924,442 ($5,989,149 is
99313 discretionary funds and $935,293 is 99314 non -discretionary operator
funds). Prior to approving the STA allocations, the Commission must adopt the
attached Resolution as specified in the Transportation Development Act Statutes,
California Code of Regulations.
In order for the public transit operators to claim LTF and/or STA funds for operating
and capital purposes, the Commission must allocate funds to support the transit
services and capital projects contained in the FY 2006/07 SRTP. The requested
allocations are consistent with the approved SRTPs and the funds are explicitly for
the projects as stated in the approved plans. Attachment 2 outlines the specific
operators' requested TDA allocations for FY 2006/07.
15
Although the City of Beaumont's (Beaumont) FY 2006/07 — FY 2008/09 SRTP was
approved, the Commission cannot allocate any TDA funding for FY 2006/07
pending the completion of Beaumont's FY 2003/04 and FY 2004/05 financial
audits. As stated in Public Utilities Code (PUC) 6664:
"In accordance with PUC Code Section 99245, a report of a fiscal and
compliance audit made by an independent auditor shall be submitted
by each claimant within 180 days after the end of the fiscal year,
except that the responsible entity, as defined in Section 6663, may
grant an extension of up to 90 days as it deems necessary. No
allocation shall be made to any claimant that is delinquent in its
submission of a fiscal and compliance audit report."
Based on discussions with Beaumont staff, it is anticipated that Beaumont's
financial audits will be completed by the end of July. Upon completion of the
financial audits, Commission staff will request an allocation of TDA funds for FY
2005/06 and FY 2006/07.
Staff recommends the approval of the TDA and FTA funds as presented. As in
previous years, any modifications in fare box revenues, federal grants, Measure A
funding, or carry over funds may require operators to revise their services to
operate within the funding limitations.

The following chart identifies the funding level, by program, for the three large
urbanized areas in Riverside County:
Jobs Access
Reverse
Urbanized Area Commute New Freedoms
Indio -Cathedral City -Palm Springs $ 167,671 $ 77,913
Riverside -San Bernardino" 1,025,531 390,840
Temecula-Murrieta 87,126 58,221
Total: $. 1,280,328 $ 526,974
'Actual dollar amount for each county to be determined at a later date.
Staff also anticipates that some funding will be available in the Hemet -San Jacinto
urbanized area; however, at this time, the actual funding amount has not been
identified. Commission staff will be attending a meeting with Caltrans on Tuesday,
June 20, 2006 to begin discussions on funding availability. A verbal report will be
provided at the Plans and Programs Committee meeting as to the results of this
meeting.
In addition to these new funding sources, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
makes funding available through Caltrans for the Section 5310 program which
provides capital grants for the purpose of assisting private nonprofit corporations
and public agencies in providing transportation services to meet the needs of
seniors and persons with disabilities for whom public transportation services are
otherwise unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate.
SAFETEA-LU requires that programs for the Section 5310 program, the Job Access
Reverse Commute program (JARC) and New Freedom program, be derived from a
Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan. While SAFETEA-
LU did not fully define the elements required for developing a coordinated plan, the
following guidance was subsequently provided by staff from FTA and the Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) for developing the plan:
1) Create a locally developed coordinated plan that identifies service gaps
and duplication of service; -
2) Involve stakeholders in coordinated planning process;
3) With input from stakeholders develop competitive project selection
from coordinated plan;
4) Create criteria for sub -recipient solvency;
5) Ensure projects comply with the Transportation Improvement Program
and the State Transportation Improvement Program; and
6) Coordinate project evaluation methods and create budget for long term
grant management.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
June 26, 2006
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Stephanie Wiggins, Regional Programs Director
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Southern California Goods Movement Strategy Memorandum of
Agreement
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) among the County
Transportation Commissions (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino,
and Ventura), subject to legal counsel review; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Over a period of months, the chief executive officers of the transportation
commissions in Southern California have discussed the parameters of an agreement
where, through a collaborative effort, the goods movement needs in the region
could be addressed.
In January 2005, the Commission approved participation in the development of a
Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan in order to form a consensus for an
implementation plan for the region. Scheduled to be completed early next year, the
plan will describe and model goods movement growth and trends, identify possible
partnerships with the private sector, highlight short, mid, and long-term strategies,
as well as identify a list of possible projects to be funded.
Further, with the placement of the $19.9 billion state transportation infrastructure
bond measure on the November ballot, developing a consensus on Southern
California projects becomes even more critical so that the region can be well
positioned to receive those funds. Riverside County could be eligible for state
funding for goods movement projects through the following programs created by
the infrastructure bond: the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund, Highway -Railroad
Crossing Safety Account, State -Local Partnership Program, and Corridor Mobility
Improvement Account.
31
Purpose of the MOA
In an effort to evaluate, select, plan, and finance strategies for constructing goods
movement projects, a timely issue to consider is the forum and framework, which
will bring those projects to fruition. The proposed MOA represents a proactive step
whereby the transportation agencies in Southern California will commit to
developing a goods movement strategy through inter -county coordination.
The MOA is part of a regional consensus plan whereby transportation agencies
within the region have come together to deliver a single message to state and
federal policymakers underscoring the need for funding goods movement projects.
To this end, the MOA further delineates the scope of the on -going collaboration
among the participating agencies originally undertaken as part of the Multi -County
Goods Movement Action Plan. The MOA recognizes the need for regional
transportation agencies to eventually form public/private partnerships in order to
successfully complete projects.
The purpose of the three-year, voluntary MOA is to further solidify goods
movement policies in Southern California without establishing a new governmental
body. While various alternative institutional models were discussed, ranging from
"no agency" to the establishment of a "new agency," the chief executive officers
reached a consensus that a goods movement plan could be developed and
implemented in a spirit of cooperation and communication.
ATTACHMENT: Draft Memorandum of Agreement

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
AMONG
COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONS
TO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GOODS MOVEMENT STRATEGY
This Memorandum of Agreement herein referred to as "MOA", is entered into as of
, 2006 by and among the County Transportation Commissions ("CTCs") of
Southern California, namely the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
("MTA"), Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA"), Riverside County Transportation
Commission ("RCTC"), San Bernardino Associated Governments ("SANBAG"), and the
Ventura County Transportation Commission ("VCTC"). Each of the agencies described above
(as well as any agencies joining this MOA in the future) shall be collectively referred to herein as
the "CTCs".
WHEREAS, the combined ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the largest gateway for
containerized imports into the United States and the fifth largest port in the world; and the Port
of Hueneme is among the nation's leaders in•fresh produce and fruit exports and automobile
imports; and
WHEREAS, Southern California serves as the principal conduit of goods between the United
States and Asia at major cost to its transportation infrastructure, environmental quality and
human health, and community livability; and
WHEREAS, goods movement within Southern California comprises an important regional
economic opportunity if transportation, environmental health, and community impacts can be
remedied; and
WHEREAS, the MTA, OCTA, RCTC, SANBAG, and VCTC have a common interest to address
the transportation deficiencies, environmental challenges, and economic opportunities associated
with goods movement in and through Southern California; and
WHEREAS, it is envisioned that many of the plans, policies, strategies, and projects to address
the challenges and grasp the opportunities afforded by goods movement in Southern California
will be multi -county in scope; and
WHEREAS, collaboration and cooperation among the CTCs to develop these goods movement
plans, policies, strategies, and projects, and similar collaboration in the areas of public outreach
and political advocacy is expected to yield the best results for Southern California as a whole.

AGENDA ITEM 11
RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
June 26, 2006
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Robert Yates, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Stephanie Wiggins, Director of Regional Programs
SUBJECT:
Announcement of Guaranteed Ride Home Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Receive and file the announcement of the availability of a RCTC
Guaranteed Ride Home Service for Ridesharers; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On July 14, 2006, the Mobile Source Reduction Review Committee of the South
Coast Air Quality District (MSRC) will formally sunset their "Get Home on Us"
program. This program guaranteed an emergency ride home for people who used a
rideshare mode for travel to and from work. It was fully funded and managed by
the MSRC. In the four years it was in operation, it served 353 enrolled employers
throughout the region with an employee pool of 97,135 people. The service
provided 305 emergency rides during the contract period.
The role of such a program is to fund and provide an emergency ride home for
people who rideshare to work. These emergency rides are provided either by
contracted rental car service or contracted taxi service. By ensuring a means for
an emergency ride home for ridesharers, the attractiveness of ridesharing over solo
commuting is increased, something which has been substantiated by MSRC
surveys regarding the performance of their program.
In anticipation of the discontinuance of the MSRC program, the CTCs last fall
banded together to again cooperate in the provision of a ridesharing service that
would be regional in scope with a specialized local delivery mechanism. On July
15, 2006 the CTCs will formally implement their version of the program. This
program which is now known as "Guaranteed Ride Home" will continue to provide
our ridesharers with this emergency ride home benefit.
The contractor selected to deliver the service and work at the direction of the MTA
is TransVironmental Solutions (TVS) of Diamond Bar, California. TVS was selected
35
as a result of a competitive RFP process managed by the MTA with input and
review coming from all of the CTC partners.
The annual share cost estimated for RCTC is $15,000, which is included in the
Commuter Assistance Program Budget for FY 2006/07. The service delivery area
for the Commission includes all of Western County and the Coachella Valley.
