EXHIBIT "C"
IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY FOR COST SHARING
Highway 111 Costs - Measure "A" Share
Measure "A" funds provided by RCTC pursuant to this Agreement may be used to fund anv of the
permissible Project Costs, as more specifically set forth below, up to Total Funding Amount.
Measure "A" Highway funds may be used to pay for any and all improvements that occur as a result
of the widening of Route 111 for the Project. Those improvements might include, but not be limited
to, additional through lanes, acceleration tapers, deceleration lanes, bus tumouts, utility relocations,
street lighting, necessary landscaping to Caltrans Standards, traffic signal installations and
modifications, and necessary right-of-way acquisition and services. Right-of-way may be paid for
by the appropriate funds dependent upon area of the take, as described below.
The intersections between Highway 111 and the cross street may also be funded with Measure "A"
Highway funds. The dividing line between Highway 111 and the cross street is defined as the
projection of the Highway 111 right-of-way line across the cross street. In the event of an unclear
definition of right-of-way points, a line connecting the cross street beginning and end of curbs will
be drawn: If the parties disagree on a right-of-way projection the curb return limit will be used. The
lines will be used as a guide for the design engineer preparing the estimate to calculate appropriate
Highway 111 quantities and costs, and appropriate cross street quantities and costs.
Costs for the traffic signals that control Highway 111 and cross street may be paid entirely with
Measure "A" Highway funds regardless of pole locations in the Highway 111 or cross street defined
boundaries. Signalization, for other locations such as entrances to businesses on Highway 111 may
also be funded by Measure "A" Highway funds if warranted and agreed to by RCTC.
Cross Street Costs - City Share
. The City will be responsible for funding any and all cross street improvements. The cross street
improvements would include any element of the project that is not included in the Highway 111
costs as defined above.
Landscaping
Landscaping will be in accordance with State and City standards and may be included in the cost
sharing in the appropriate Route 111 or cross street areas. Excessive landscaping will not be paid for
with the Measure "A" Highway funds. Excessive landscaping is a subjective measure, but the intent
is not to use Measure "A" Highway.funds to pay for landscaping in excess of what is appropriate for
a typical highway project in the Coachella Valley using Caltrans landscaping design standards.

Extension for Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with BRE'
Properties for Joint Development at the La Sierra Metrolink Station
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve a six-month extension for the Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement with BRE Properties for Joint Development at the La Sierra
Metrolink Station;
2) Direct staff to enter into discussions with BRE Properties regarding an
increase in the good faith deposit up to an additional $25,000;
3) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the
agreement on behalf of the Commission; and
4). Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its July 2006 meeting, the Commission awarded an Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement (ENA), Agreement No. 07-67-004-00, for joint development at the "La
Sierra Metrolink Station to BRE Properties for a 180 day period. The ENA allows
for the Commission to negotiate exclusively with BRE Properties. Upon execution
of the ENA, BRE provided the required $25,000 good faith deposit. The ENA
expires on -February 19, 2007.
Representatives from the Commission, BRE Properties, Best Best & Krieger, the city.
of Riverside (planning and redevelopment), and Keyser Marston Associates (real
estate financial . advisory) have had several meetings to discuss various matters
regarding the proposed project; however, critical issues related to the legal
framework and structure of the deal to allow development of both the public
parking and private development components of the project remain unresolved due
to their complexity. Commission staff and BRE Properties are requesting a six-
month extension of the ENA to provide additional time to continue to resolve these
issues.
19
Section 2a of the'ENA provides for an increase in the deposit up to an additional
$25,000 upon agreement between the Commission and the developer to cover
costs and expenses that may exceed the initial good faith deposit. Upon extension
of the ENA, staff will enter into discussions with BRE Properties regarding an
increase in the deposit.

FROM:
Shirley Medina, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Programming of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
Funds for the North Main Corona Metrolink Parking Structure
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve programming $15 million of Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality funds to the North Main Corona Metrolink Parking Structure;
and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The North Main Corona Metrolink Parking Structure was approved in 2002 for $11
million of State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Interregional
Improvement Program (IIP) funds. To date, $1.5 million has been allocated for
environmental and design work. The remaining $9.5. million is programmedfor
construction. The design phase included the development of plans for three
different parking structure configurations.
-At the September 14, 2006, meeting, the Commission approved building parking
structure C at the North Main Corona station as it yielded the most number of
spaces at 1,443 (1,098 structure + 345 east lot) to meet the demand indicated in
the ridership forecast. Future plans for building parking structures A and B will be
brought back to the Commission at a later time.
The design phase is near completion and construction costs for parking structure C
are estimated at $29,592,000. Additional funds have been committed to cover
construction costs including Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307,
State Transit Assistance (STA), and Local Transportation Funds (LTF). However,
$15 million is still needed to fully fund the project.
21
Staff- is proposing to program CMAQ funds to cover the funding gap 'since the
project meets eligibility requirements and is an excellent candidate for CMAQ
funds.
The programming of the North Main Corona Parking Structure is proposed as
follows:
Fund Source
Amount (000's)
STIP IIP
$ 9,500
FTA 5307
1,000
STA
3,524
LTF
568
CMAQ
15,000
Total
$ 29, 592
There are sufficient CMAQ funds from SAFETEA-LU to cover this project. . The
Commission did not commit all of the SAFETEA-LU funds in order to cover project
cost increases and/or projects that were delayed due to the state budget crisis..
Therefore, the programming of CMAQ funds for the North Main Corona parking
structure is cons.istent with the Commission's direction.
Upon approval by the Commission, staff will amend the Federal Transportation
Improvement Program (FTIP) to reflect the updated funding. Construction of
parking structure C is anticipated to begin in Winter 2008.

Amendment to Advance of FY 2006/07 City of Hemet Measure A
Local Street and Road Funds
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 06-31-068-01, Amendment No. 1 to
Agreement No. 06-31-068-00, to advance to the city of Hemet
Measure A Local Street and Road Funds in FY 2007/08 rather than FY
2006/07;
2) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review; to execute
Agreement No. 06-31-068-01, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for
Advance of Measure A Local Streets and Roads Funds; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the June 14, 2006 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 06-31-
068-00 for an advance of $2,126,000, including accrued interest, to the city of
Hemet (City) for its estimated Measure A Local Streets and Roads (LSR) funding for
FY 2006/07.
City staff had requested that disbursement of the advance be delayed from
September 2006 to a later date upon construction award for a city-wide repaving
project. Since the City is now in the process of soliciting construction bids, City
staff is requesting that the advance be delayed until FY 2007/08 and applied
against its FY 2007/08 Measure A LSR allocation. This would result in the
disbursement of the advance in September 2007 with repayment due by
September 30, 2008. Based on the FY 2007/08 Measure A. revenue projection, it
is estimated that the City's share of FY 2007/08 Measure A LSR funding is
$2,326,000. Any amounts received over the $2,126,000 advance would be
disbursed to the City upon full repayment of the advance. In the unlikely event
that the FY 2007/08 Measure A LSR allocations to the City are less than the total
23
advance, any balance due would be deducted from the FY 2008/09 Measure A LSR
allocations.
Staff is in the process of preparing the amendment to the advance agreement,
which is subject to legal counsel review.

Re: Request for Advance of FY07/08 Measure A Allocations
Dear Mr. Haley:
ilk Thank you for approving the City's request to advance Measure A funds for this fiscal
Iv year. The City of Hemet is currently soliciting construction bids for its city-wide repaving
project. The project will start construction in Spring 2007. As such, the City wit already
• have received much of its FY06/07 allocation before contractor invoicing will occur.
Consequently, the City requests forgoing the advance of this year's allocation and
instead receiving an advance of its FY07/08 allocation.
As with the original advance, we understand approval of the Commission is needed,
principal and interest will be deducted from the FY07/08 allocation, and funds will not
ready for disbursement unti September 2007, if approved.
Thank you for your cooperation and please contact me at (951) 765-3870 if you need
more information.
Sincerely,
Mike Gow

Budget and Implementation Committee

Audit Ad Hoc Committee
Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Proposed Audit Scope for Transit and Transportation Audits
AUDIT AD HOC COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Budget and Implementation Committee to:
1) Approve the proposed audit scope for Measure A recipients and
Transportation Development Act claimants; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its April 2003 meeting, the Commission approved the selection of Caporicci and
Larson (C&L) to perform the Measure A recipient and Transportation Development
Act (TDA) claimants audits for the Commission, excluding the Riverside Transit
Agency and city of Beaumont who have selected their own auditors that have met
the Commission's auditor qualification criteria. These financial and compliance
audits cover the transit and transportation operations the county of Riverside, the
cities in the county, and non-profit organizations receiving the Measure A and TDA
funds; however, agreed -upon procedures have been performed for certain Measure
A Specialized Transit recipients based on cost-effectiveness considerations.
California Code of Regulations Section 6664 requires a fiscal and compliance audit
for each claimant of TDA funds (LTF and STAF)_ The audit shall be conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and the claimants' financial
statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Furthermore, the audit is to be directed to determine compliance or
noncompliance with the TDA regulations. The TDA claimant audits that have been
performed include transit operators (municipal operators, SunLine Transit Agency,
and Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency) receiving Article 4 and STAF, Article 3
bicycle and pedestrian facility grant claimants, and Article 8 local street and road
funds (currently available only in Palo Verde Valley area).
26
The 1989 Measure A requires fiscal audits of the local agencies to ensure'
enforcement of the, maintenance of effort requirements. The 2009 Measure A
goals and objectivesinclude a, mandatory, annual , financial audit of program
expenditures to ensure compliance with Measure A. Additionally, the taxpayer
accountability safeguards included in the 2009 Measure A describes compliance'
requirements.
Over the past few years, the American institute of Certified Public Accountants has
issued new auditing standards in response to corporate accounting and ethics
scandals, many of whichincluded a focus on auditors and their work. These .new
standards will become effective at various dates over the next two years; they are
expected to significantly change how audits are performed in the following areas:
• Audit documentation;
• Understanding of internal control;
• Audit evidence related to risk assessment procedures and tests of
internal controls;
• Audit risk and materiality;
• Understanding the entity and its environment and assessing the risk of
material misstatement; and
• Performing audit procedures in response to assessed risks and
evaluating audit evidence obtained.
C&L has advised staff that these new auditing standards may significantly impact
future audits of the specific transit and/or transportation funds being audited for
TDA and Measure A purposes. Specifically, an extensive internal control evaluation
and testing at the entity level may be required in .order to develop the basis for the
risk assessment. In addition to a potential increase in the cost of the TDA and
Measure A audits, the additional efforts may be repetitive for the entity being
audited since similar procedures will be performed by the entity's auditors.
There are several alternatives to address the impact of the new auditing standards,
as described below:
• Require the entities to engage their auditors to perform a financial and
compliance audit of the transit/transportation funds at their own cost
with specific compliance requirements provided by the Commission;
• Same as above, except that the Commission would engage auditors to
perform agreed -upon procedures regarding compliance at its own cost;
• Continue to engage auditors to conduct financial and compliance
audits for each Measure A recipient and TDA claimant at the
Commission's cost;

Budget and Implementation Committee

Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Mid -Year Revenue Projections
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the Mid -Year Revenue Projections;
2) Approve the budget adjustments to reflect the revised Measure A
revenues of $3,000,000 and expenditures of $1,477,000;
3) Approve the budget adjustments to reflect the revised Local
Transportation Fund (LTF) Planning revenues of $371,803 and
expenditures of $371,803; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, staff made projections regarding the
revenue received from Measure A and LTF funds for budget and apportionment
purposes, respectively. Staff has tracked these revenues on a monthly basis.
Current trends indicate that Measure A and LTF receipts are about 5.3% and 3.5%
higher, respectively, for the six months ended. December 31, 2006 compared to the
same period last year. Staff noted a significant decrease in year-to-year Measure A
and LTF receipts from November 2006 (15.6% for Measure A and 13..2% for LTF)
to December 2006 (5.3% for Measure A and 3.5% for LTF). Based on the January
2007 estimates recently provided by the State Board of Equalization, the year-to-
year increases for Measure A and LTF rose slightly to 5.8% and 4.2%,
respectively. For FY 2005/06, Measure A and LTF receipts were about 15.4% and
14.9% higher, respectively, than the prior year of FY 2004/05.
While the Inland Empire's local economy has been perceived as strong except for
the slowdown in housing, the significant changes within the .current year as well as
compared to the prior years seem unusual and warrant further monitoring over the.
next few months. Accordingly, staff has taken a cautious approach to this year's
mid -year projection analysis. Based on . an emphasis on the trends of sales tax
receipts for the last six months and comparison to the UCLA Anderson Forecast
29
completed in 2006, staff is recommending that the
current year revenue projections as follows:

For reference purposes, audited Measure A and LTF revenues for FY 2005/06 were
$157,236,314 and $74,673,605, respectively. The FY 2006/07 Measure A mid-
year projections reflect an approximate 1 % increase over the FY 2005/06 actual
revenues, while the FY 2006/07 LTF mid -year projections are comparable to the FY
2005/06 actual revenues. Additionally, the UCLA Anderson Forecast projected FY
2006/07 Measure A receipts of $159,693,000.
The increase in Measure A revenues has a direct effect on the distributions to the
geographic areas and related programs, especially local streets and roads (LSR).
Accordingly, in addition to the revenue budget adjustments, Measure A budget
adjustments are required for the LSR aggregating $1,175,000 as well as regional
arterial expenditures of $302,000.
The LTF audit was completed and financial statements were issued in November
2006. Staff has revised the original projections to include the carryover that is
now available to the local governments and transit agencies amounting to
$12,393,440. The revised projections include a • budget adjustment to RCTC
Planning for $371,803. The increase for SB821 bicycle and pedestrian projects of
$240,433 does not require a budget adjustment as such expenditures are made
from the Local Transportation Fund, which is an unbudgeted fund of the
Commission.
Upon Commission approval of this item, staff will provide this updated information
to the necessary local governments and transit operators..

respective populations for each area. The apportionment occurs after off -the -top '
allocations for administration (distributed to the County, Commission, and 'SCAG)
and set asides for planning activities (3%) and bicycle and pedestrian projects
(2%).
Attached is the FY 2007/08 LTF apportionment based on a revenue estimateof
$77,840,000. The Countyhas reviewed the estimate and concurs with it. The
estimate is based on a projection for FY 2006/07 of $74,850,000 plus an increase
of 4%. After the deductions for administration of $942,000 and set -asides of
$3,826,456, the amount available for apportionment is $73,071,544. The balance
available for apportionment is as follows:

In accordance with the Reserve Policy adopted by the Commission on January 12,
2005, a reserve of 10% for each apportionment area will be established and set
aside for FY 2007/08 for unforeseen cost increases or other emergency. For the
Western County apportionment area, a portion of the reserve will be allocated to
each of the transit operators; however, an allocation of $0 is currently reflected
pending completion of the FY 2004/05 transit and transportation audits. Upon
receipt of the completed audits, the Western County transit operator allocations
will be adjusted: For public bus transit operators, the allocation of the reserve is
based on each operator's proportionate share of FY 2005/06 LTF operating
allocations. Operators may access reserve funds by amending their Short Range
Transit Plans through the established amendment process.
Measure A
The Measure A projection consists of revenues generated from the local half -cent
sales tax approved by the voters in November 1988. These Measure A funds are
principally used to fund highway, commuter rail, regional arterial, local streets and
roads, commuter assistance and specialized transportation projects needs in the
three geographic areas of Riverside County.
The Measure A projection for FY 2006/07 is $167,100,000. This projection will
become the basis for the preparation of the FY 2007/08 budget. The budget
process typically commences in January of each year following the development of
the Measure A revenue projections. Additionally, the amounts for the local streets

not included in the original FY 2006/07 budget. Adequate Local Transportation
Fund fund balance exists to accommodate this budget adjustment.
Adjustment 3 - $52,300
The FY 2006/07 budget included the assumption that 439 call boxes would be
removed by December 2006 as a result of decreased call box usage. The
contractor has not completed the entire call box removal project by December
2006 due to staff turnover. As a result, the remaining call boxes that have not
been removed will continue to incur equipment maintenance and access charges
through June 30, 2007 which were not budgeted in FY 2006/07. Adequate SAFE
Fund fund balance exists to accommodate this budget adjustment.
Adjustment 4 - $56,000
The Commuter Assistance program contracted in March 2006 to promote rideshare
on a billboard located on State Route 91 in Corona from July 14, 2006 to
November 21, 2006. The budget authority for this contract was included in the FY
2005/06 budget and was inadvertently not rebudgeted for . FY 2006/07. Staff is
requesting a budget adjustment for the FY 2006/07 rideshare media campaign.
Adequate Measure A Commuter Assistance Special Revenue Fund fund balance'
exists to accommodate this budget adjustment.
Adjustment 5 - $8,000
As a result of organizational changes related to human resources, additional training
and resources in human resources as well as communications with legal counsel
have been required: These additional costs for human resources training,
membership dues, and legal services are estimated at $3,000.
Additionally, executive management felt that specific management training for all
program managers as a result of the effects of continuing organizational changes
was appropriate. The Commission contracted with the University of California
Riverside to conduct a Leadership, Supervision and Management Principles and
Practices program. The program, which cost $10,000, examines the challenges
supervisors face in an increasingly complex organizational environment and
understanding organizational change and how to effectively manage the change.
While the FY 2006/07 human resources budget included $5,000 for training, a
budget adjustment of $5,000 is needed for the additional training cost.
Adequate General. Fund fund balance exists to accommodate both budget
adjustments totaling $8,000.
40
Adjustment 6 - $8,500
The Commission will be co -sponsoring a University of California Riverside
conference, regarding the Riverside County MSHCP, with the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments and Western Riverside County Regional Conservation
Authority. Adequate General Fund fund balance exists to accommodate this
budget adjustment.
Adjustment 7 - $7,000
The original FY 2006/07 budget did not include legal services for the additional
legislation needed to implement design -build contracting. Staff continues to work
with legal counsel on this matter and will need additional budget authority to
continue this effort. Adequate General Fund fund balance exists to accommodate
this budget adjustment.

decisions impact the overall condition of the state highway. system (in terms of
distressed lane miles, bridge conditions, and life cycle costs). SB 53 would require
Ca!trans to consult with agencies such as the Commission in developing its
performance measures.
Staff recommends the Commission support this bill in concept as it moves through
Legislature. Staff believes that calling attention to ,the consequences of resource,
staffing, and programming decisions on the performance of California's highways is
a positive step for Ca[trans accountability and transportation funding as a statewide
priority.
SB 56 (Runner, R-Antelope Valley) — Highway construction contracts: Design -Build
Demonstration Program: transportation entities.
This bill creates a 70-year pilot program, authorizing the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) to select a to -be -determined number of transportation agencies
to employ design -build contracting on a to -be -determined number of highway,
bridge, or tunnel projects. SB 56 sets forth specific requirements for the process
which transportation agencies must undertake to utilize design -build. The bill gives
the CTC discretion on whether contracts are awarded according to "best -value" 'or
low -bid. A peer review committee is established to monitor the procurement
process of design -build projects authorized by this bill, and each transportation
agency is required to submit annual reports and analysis to the CTC regarding its
experiences using design -build. Transportation agencies are also required to
implement a labor compliance program. The intent of the legislation is to examine
the benefits and challenges of using design -build procurement, particularly relating
to the possibility of reduced project costs, expedited project delivery, or design
features that would not be achievable through design -bid -build procurement.
SB 56 provides a significant opportunity for transportation agencies in California to
apply design -build widely enough to demonstrate its potential benefits and
weaknesses as a tool for, enhanced project delivery. The stringent process outlined
in the bill provides transparency and also begins to address labor concerns raised
by opponents of design -build. While it is yet unknown how the transportation
industry will react to SB 56, in light of its potential to provide the Commission with
greater flexibility to pursue the most efficient and cost-effective project delivery
mechanisms, staff recommends the Commission adopt a SUPPORT position on SB
56.

Transportation and mobility are
critical concerns, not just for us, but
for California
State Legislative Program
Riverside County Tionspottofion Commission
51
Rush hour in Riverside
County means 65% of all
freeways are operating
at Level of Service F.
That's a failing grade in
any book. Riverside
County residents
already tax themselves
for transportation. Local
development pays its
own way through a
mitigation fee. Even with
federal and state help,
we still don't have the
$8 to $13 billion it will
take to fix the problem.
We need authority to:
• Own and operate public toll facilities
• Use design -build contracting
• Environmentally clear projects more efficiently

Today,100 million metric
tons of the nation's
freight thunders through
Riverside County
neighborhoods --a 58%
increase from 1997 to 2004.
• Riverside County sits in the cross -hair of increasing international trade coming through
the Ports of L.A. and Long Beach -and our communities are paying the price.
• $40 million more from the PUC Section 190 grade separation account plus $66.7 million o
Proposition 1B goods movement funds is the state government's fair share to build the 1E
most critical grade separations in Riverside County.
Riverside County residents subsidize the nation's and
California's economy with their health, their time, and their
quality of life. The Ports of L.A. and Long Beach are the nation's
second busiest and total almost five times the amount of all 14
other California ports combined. Riverside County is at the
epicenter of problems created by this exponential increase.
RCTC calls on the Legislature to give us a way to a safer and
stronger community.
In. September 2006 RCTC adopted a Grade Separation Funding
Plan that identifies 18 highest -priority grade crossings that
constitute a feasible blueprint for relief in our communities.
Local funders have committed $150 million to these projects
with as much as $67 million more on the way.
Today's freight chokes local roads, inhibits emergency vehicles,
degrades air quality, and exposes the public to the dangers of
fast-moving trains. If Sacramento does its part to unburden our
communities, the results will be striking_
• 37 less hours of crossing gate "down -time" every da
Riverside County
• 36 fewer accidents per year
• 212.25 less tons of projected 2030 emissions per year
• 4,374.8 fewer hours of vehicle delay annually.
In real terms, our residents will have 4,374.8 more hours
their families, participating in the economy, and Ix
members of our communities.

RCTC is making
commuter rail work to
reduce congestion. lines
serving Riverside County
carry almost 18,000

estimates almost 3%
reduction on parallel.
freeways from Metrolink
service. Providing rail
service is an important
component of better
mobility.
• Commuters on trains equal cars off the freeways.
• Cars off the freeways equals a faster ride for everyone, cleaner air, a healthier quality of H-
and better access to key job centers in Southern California.
• RCTC supports state funding for additional rail capacity and rolling stock for increased
Metrolink service and Amtrak service from Los Angeles to the. Coachella Valley.

The cost of building
roadways continues to
spiral upwards. The
timelines required for
new construction
projects means we are
always behind the curve.
We can't- build our way
out of congestion with-
out also encouraging
alternatives that promote
fewer trips and cleaner air.
• Enhancement of incentives to employers with transit reimbursement or ridesharing
programs will encourage more commuters to get out of their cars and into other modes c
transportation. Less stressful commutes make for happier more productive workers.
• RCTC supports incentives for taxpayers who utilize alternative fuels. Alternative fuels
pollute less and can insulate consumers from the volatility of gasoline prices.
Riverside County residents already tax themselves and impose
fees on new development to pay for transportation improve-
ments and there's still not enough money to solve all our
congestion problems. Only Houston has worse air quality than
Riverside County. Altemative fuels and fewer trips mean
cleaner air and less congestion for everyone.
But Southern Californians have to be coaxed to make different
choices about the way they get to work. Incentives, especially
in a climate of volatile and seasonally higher gas prices, really
work in Riverside County, where many households have
stretched their budgets to buy their first affordable home.
Ridesharing incentives have a demonstrated track record in
Riverside County.
59
Transit service is also a new concept for most sout
California residents. Forming a public transit habit t
inducement. Once commuters try different ways of gettin
work, however, many of them like the benefits of saved I
and money and reduced stress and stay with the change.
In addition, for these same budget -conscious Riverside Col
households, incentives that address the cost differei
between alternative fuel and conventional fuel vehicles wi
make clean fuel choices more accessible.
RCTC is working hard to
guarantee mobility for a
region that is critical to
California's future.

Today,100 million
metric tons of the
nation's freight
thunders through
Riverside County
neighborhoods
--
a 58% increase from
1997 to 2004.
• Riverside County sits in the cross -hair of increasing international trade coming through
the Ports of L.A. and Long Beach —and our communities are paying the price.
• $125.8 million in discretionary Congressional funding plus $60 rnillion in formula funds is
the federal government's fair share to build the 18 most critical grade separations in
Riverside County.
• The federal government has already recognized the issue by naming the Alameda
Corridor -East a trade corridor of national and regional significance in SAFETEA-LU.

Riverside County residents subsidize the nation's economy with
their health, their time, and their quality of life. The Ports of L.A.
and Long Beach are the nation's second busiest and bear the
brunt of burgeoning globalization. Riverside County is at the epi-
center of statewide problems created by this exponential
increase. RCTC calls on Congress to give us a way to a safer and
stronger community.
In September 2006 RCTC adopted a Grade Separation Funding
Plan that identifies 18 highest -priority grade crossings that con-
stitute a feasible blueprint for relief in our communities. Local
funders have committed $150 million to these projects with as
much as $67 million more on the way.
Today, almost 8 of every 10 freight cars that cross our streets are
bound for destinations beyond the southwest_ They choke local.
roads, inhibit emergency vehicles, degrade air quality, and
expose the public to the dangers of fast-moving trains_ If
Washington does its part to unburden our communities, the
results will be striking:
• 37 less hours of crossing gate "down -time' every day in
Riverside County
• 36 fewer accidents per year
• 212.25 less tons of projected 2030 emissions per year
• 4,374.8 fewer hours of vehicle delay annually
In real terms, our residents will have 4,374.8 more hours •
their families, participating in the economy, and being mem
of our communities.

Our nation's ability to
prosper in the global
economy means we
must be able tomeet
projected demands.
If things don't change,
we won't be ready to
ship and receive three
times more goods 20
years from now.
We need dedicated federal funding for freight projects.
• More than half of the nation's freight leaves and arrives through west coast ports.
• Goods movement is a national economic priority and warrants permanent federal fundinc
• Most major transportation projects have a fifteen to twenty year timeline, we already have
crisis and must act now.
The Ports of L.A. and Long Beach will be the nation's key west-
ern portal as freight traffic triples over the next 20 years.
Riverside County is the conduit for freight from these ports as
it goes to and comes from the rest of the country.
Our railroads are short on capacity and trucks already clog our
congested freeways in unprecedented numbers. Businesses
throughout the U.S. rely on timely deliveries and flexible
inventories. If major investments are not made in goods move-
ment infrastructure our economy will suffer as goods crawl to
their destinations. Transportation projects take a long time to
plan, approve, fund, and build. If we wait, there will certainly be
a crisis.
Congress has approved limited funding for projects of nati
and regional significance related to goods movement, inc
ing the Alameda Corridor -East ($125 million in SAFETEA-
and Congress has recognized goods movement as a natii
priority by identifying the Alameda Corridor -East as a I
Priority Corridor.
RCTC supports a new funding mechanism dedicated to gc
movement projects of national and regional significance.

Riverside County
residents already
tax themselves for
transportation. Local
development pays its
own way through a
mitigation fee. Even with
federal and state, help,
we still dodthaue
enough money to build
the transportation
infrastructure to unclog
roadways and guarantee
goods movement..
We need more incentives for private investment in
• RCTC supports opening the doors to more partnerships between the public and private
sectors to solve transportation challenges.
• Tax credits, private activity bonds, TIFIA loans, and other mechanisms will spur private
sector investment in infrastructure.
•
infrastructure,
The private sector has a strong financial interest in the
efficiency of our nation's transportation network. The move-
ment of goods and people translates into economic vitality.
Infrastructure is a large capital investment and the
overwhelming need for projects makes the costs prohibitive to
firms without significant financial incentives.
The private sector can be a powerful partner with the public,
working together to solve common challenges. RCTC supports
more tools to leverage private investment that can move
critical projects forward and deliver a win -win for the public and
private communities alike.
RCTC is working with policymakers in Sacramento to improve
state laves to bring more private dollars to California and
take advantage of public -private partnership provisions in
SAFETEA-LU.

Riverside County's
population will grow to
3 million between now
and 2020. Much of this
growth will occur in
the already congested
1-21`5 corridor.
We need full -funding for the Perris Valley Line Metrolink
• Communities to be served are among the fastest growing (2000-2020) in Riverside Coun
Perris (167%), Moreno Valley (41%), Murrieta (107%), and Temecula (125%).
• Today's bumper to bumper traffic can only be moderately improved by planned highway
improvements.
With one in three commuters from western Riverside County traveling to jobs in other
counties, more commuter rail benefits the entire region.
• FTA's recommendation will give commuter rail expansion in Riverside County the green
signal. Congestion relief has no better friend than another Metrolink train taking 6,000 ca
off the freeway daily.
extension to help cope vvith commuter traffic.
Today the I-215/SR-60 facility operates at Level of Service "F"
{LOS F) during peak hours, and despite planned highway
improvements through 2025, bumper -to -bumper traffic will
persist. Today, 25% of all Riverside County working house-
holds have a commute of 45 minutes or more one way.
The Perris Valley Line Metrolink Extension will serve residents
from the growing cities of Moreno Valley, Perris, Murrieta, and
Temecula by providing service from south Perris to Riverside.
As well as helping to serve local employment centers in
Riverside and Corona, riders will be able to connect to popular
Metrolink lines serving job centers in San Bernardino, Orange,
and Los Angeles counties further reducing traffic on the crowd-
ed 91, 60 and 10 freeways. This congestion reduction will also
provide significant air quality benefits to one of the smoggiest
regions in the nation.
The Perris Valley Line will be a long-term component of the
Inland Empire's economic engine.

The San Jacinto/Hemet
area has 54,500 new
homes either under
construction or in the
pipeline. That's a brand
new city of 163,500
people --a community
the size of Rancho
Cucamonga and bigger
than Santa Rosa,
Escondido, or Pasadena.
The only regional route
north and south is
circuitous and passes
through highly
developed neighborhoods.
• .SR-79 today mixes regional traffic with local traffic.
• There are numerous residential and commercial direct access points along the roadway.
• The geometrics of the roadway do not support truck traffic.
• Accident rates are higher than state averages for suburban roadways.
• Realigning SR-79 through San Jacinto and Hemet will take drivers off a slow, circuitous,
and dangerous route and onto an elevated, grade -separated highway that can handle the
growth in the San Jacinto Valley.
