transportation programs. The balance of students use an alternative source .of
transportation including -walking, bicycling, public transit and transportation by.
private vehicle. `
Although a few districts charge a nominal fee for student transportation', the.
majority of districts provide the transportation without charge. Reasons why the
majority of districts do not charge include:
1') Majority of students are on a free/reduced lunch program and
2) Charging for transportation may negatively impact daily attendance.
No student = reduced Average Daily Attendance (ADA)
funding..
The majority of school district staff indicated that riding public transit was not a
viable option for kindergarten through 8th grade students. Reasons given included;
the following:
1 ) Parents do not want their younger children riding with the general
public. Reasoris cited included the need ,for public ,transit to stop at
courthouses, jails and casinos - stops deemed unsuitable for young
children;
2) Issue of needing to transfer to another bus to complete their trip;
3) Not enough flexibility with public transit. Schools have "late .,starts"
and "early outs that fluctuate; and
Schools have a. direct relationship with the students. If the student
misbehaves on the school bus, the driver can report the incident
directly to school management.
Overall, there appeared. tobe a perceived safety issue. with transporting' :younger
students; however, through various discussions, the following :,..partnership
opportunities were ;identified for high. school students:
1) If public transit route schedules could be coordinated with school : bell,
times, the likelihood of riding public transit .may increase;
2) Development and implementation of a mobility travel =training program
to encourage ridership. This would need to include: an aggressive
outreach program to teach students not only how to ride the bus but
how to purchase passes as well;
' Beaumont ($200); Hemet ($210-first student $140-two students; $70-third student; free for 'four.
or more students); Lake Elsinore. ($226); Menifee (80 cents a ride annual passalso available;
however cost nat available at time of writing this staff report; Murrieta ($350); "Riverside ($330),
Agenda Item 6 2
3) Development andimplementation of :a marketing outreach program to
distribute free and/or reduced bus passes;
4) Implementation . of: shuttle buses in student "walk zones". Under this
scenario, students would be picked -up„ at school and delivered to
major intersections based on the. enrolled students' neighborhoods;
5) Coordination of transportation for "after school" programs
6) Financial assistance to operate additional school buses , and/or building,
fueling infrastructure to assist with securing grant funding made
available through . the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD). and other grant opportunities;
7) Development of specialized transportation. programs for:
a. Homeless children;
b. Special education students (state law.: requires curb to curb
serviceup to age 23). Transportation must be made available
to the school that offers a program most beneficial to the
special education child not necessarily tied to the child's
neighborhood school; and
No student left behind program. Based on "performance tier".
students that are eligible for transportation can go to a higher
performing school.
8) Provision of transportation within .the :school's "walking zones" which
varies by school district.
Safe Routes to. Schools Program ,SAFETEA-LU
As reported above; Riverside County school districts transport approximately
one-third of its student population. "According to local studies, 21-27 % of
morning traffic is attributed to parents driving their children .to school. This has
caused increased .traffic congestion around schools, prompting even more parents
to drive their ,kids."2 Under SAFETEA-LU, funding in the amount of $612 million is
available for a.Safe Routes to Schools program. Following is a brief summary of
the provisions of the program, as stated in the transportation bill:
1) Enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities to
walk or bicycle to school;
2) To make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing
transportation alternative; and
3) To: facilitate., the planning, development, and implementation of
program activities that will .improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel
consumption as well as pollution.
2 Safe, Routes to Schools. <http://www.saferoutestoschools.org/about.html>
Agenda Item 6
Funding will be provided . to the State Departments of Transportation on a formula
basis calculated from school enrollment. Only schools are eligible recipients.
Eligible activities for funding include:
•
Infrastructure: Funds may be used for planning, 'design and,
construction of .projects to improve the ability of students to walk to
school, including sidewalk improvements, traffic calming, street
crossings, bicycle facilities, etc.; and
Non -Infrastructure: To encourage walking and bicycling to 'schools,"
funds may' be used for public awareness campaigns, outreach, .traffic
education and enforcement, etc.
Safe Routes to Schools Program - Marin County
In .August 2000, Marin County Bicycle Coalition was funded to develop a national
model Safe Routes to Schools Program as a means to reduce traffic: congestion
around schools as well as to promote healthy alternatives. To "demonstrate the
benefits of the program, nine pilot schools in four different geographic locations
were recruited. Initial surveys reported that 73% of the studentswere arriving by
car, .14% walking and 7% biking to school and 6% arriving by. ;bus:"3 Guidance
together with promotional materials were made available to staff at the pilot
schools. In addition, a traffic engineer was hired to assist in developing safe route .
to school plans. Periodic walk and bike to school days were held with frequent
rider mile contests which rewarded children who came to school walking; biking.,
carpooling or riding the public bus. At the end of the pilot' program, the schools
experienced a 57 % increase in the number of childrenwalking and biking and a
29% decrease in the number of children arriving alone in a car.
In .2005, as a result of the successful pilot program, on -going, funding was made
available through the Transportation Authority of Marin through the -passage of the
Measure A sales .tax.
Safe ,Routes to Schools` Program — Training
Training on exploring and/or starting a Safe Routes to Schools PrograM is available .
including a one hour presentation, a half day, full day ortwo day. workshop. The -
two day workshop provides a blueprint for how to develop a successful Safe Route'
to School program and includes exercises ranging .from' event planning ` and
classroom education to 'identifying barriers to walking and bicycling as well
creating safe streets. Based on a preliminary review, the cost to 'conduct the
training ranges from $750 (one hourlecture) to $6,000 for the, two day workshop
plus travel expenses.

Agenda Item 6 4
Next Steps
Staff will offer to host a meeting of the school districts and transit operators to
discuss the Safe Routes to Schools Program. It is anticipated that this meeting will
foster a discussion of the potential to leverage existing discounted bus passes,
transit scheduling, marketing, and rideshare activities with the Safe Routes to
Schools Program in order to expand transportation options and improve mobility.

To encourage transit ridership, it is essential that TC, transfer locations and park
and ride lots be conveniently: placed throughout the transit operator's service area.
It : should be noted that although TOD are not currently the -dominant trend in the
region, the concept certainly offers a distinct .and growing market that provides
new choices for individuals to reduce their dependence on the: automobile.
The attached master lists .of planned and conceptual transit and . commutes rail
stations together with transfer points and park -and -ride clots represent -county-wide
planning- efforts. Whenever possible, both Riverside. Transit,, Agency (RTA) and the
Commission cooperate in their planning efforts to ensure effective transfer
connections at all commuter rail stations.
Rail Station Joint Development
As the Metrolink s stern begins to y g' 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
the Commission, provide benefit to existing passengers, who . frequent these.
stations, and encourage new transit ridership. In recognition .of this, at its
June 2005 meeting, the Commission adopted Joint Development Guidelines for the
Commission owned Metrolink Stations.
Currently, joint development opportunities exist with the La Sierra Avenue and the
Riverside -Downtown Stations. In addition, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
New Starts process emphasizes land use and joint development when ,rating
projects for discretionary funding, such as the Perris Valley ,Line (PVL) project .that
anticipates up to six new stations. Establishing the Joint Development Guidelines
for current and future Commission owned rail stations is . the first ; step in creating .
an.. opportunity for comprehensive: planning of station area developrnent with ''local
jurisdictions and the development community.
The ,goals of the Guidelines are to:
Promote and enhance rail transit ridership,
➢" Enhance and protect the commuter rail station and corridor;
Encourage comprehensive and complementary planning - and
development around the Commission owned station sites
Reduce auto use and congestion through. encouragernent : of rail
transit -linked development, consistent with Commission policy to
pursue transportation alternatives that :enhance or `:complement
economic development; and
Demonstrate a fiscal .benefit to the Commission based on a fair market
return on public, investment.

RCTC 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 andprotect 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 development guidelines encourages, comprehensive
planning of. station -area development. These policies are limited to solicited proposals.
To facilitate coordinated transportation and land use decisions, RCTC will:
Rev #I, 11/29/05
RCTC Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines, June 200.5
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 Proper
Committee.
Additionally, the RCTC shall consider new joint development, projects .'based
following. standards:
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
policies and plans;
4. Projects must demonstrate, at a minimum fair market value, return to RCTC,
5. If 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 needsfor employment, services, housing .
or other facilities.
6.. Projects are encouraged which create a long-term 'source of -revenue for. the
RCTC and allow the RCTC to participate in the increase in value,of ;its real estate
assets . over time. This will generally take the forrn 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
Rev #1, 11/29/05
123
RCTC Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines, June 2005
9. Projects must allow RCTC to, retain station facility and related transportation
service design andV location authority and access to all necessary station
operational facilities.
Rail Station Joint Development Implementation Procedures
RCTC will periodically prepare conceptual development strategies for RCTC-owned
properties at Metrolink commuter rail stations: The RCTC will also consult with local --
jurisdictions regarding local land use development efforts. These conceptual
development strategies and consultations with local jurisdictions =shall provide the basis
for establishing project priorities and implementation approaches .to ensure maximum
attainment of RCTC's joint development goals.
RCTC will be open and competitive in rnarketing its properties. RCTC shall solicit
competitive proposals for joint development of its properties. The standard RCTC
procurement procedures shall be used as the general guideline for determining . the
appropriate process for solicitation RCTC shall not accept unsolicited written ,proposals
for joint development on RCTC owned property.
Proposal Solicitation and Evaluation Process
RCTC may periodically initiate a process to solicit development proposals for specific
properties owned by RCTC. In soliciting joint development proposals, the RCTC shall
provide available relevant site information including the conceptual development
strategies for the site and encourage developers to seek information or consultwith
local jurisdictions regarding current and planned land uses in the project area. The
RFQ/RFP will outline the minimum qualifications and project selection criteria, including
any unique capabilities or credentials which would be required of the proposer. "Pre-
proposal conferences may be held, as deemed necessary by RCTC.
The solicitation process will consist of two distinct stages — an assessment of
qualifications and an assessment of development proposals. The first stage, the
Qualifications Assessment, involves a request for qualifications (RFQ). This stage
establishes the fitness of potential development teams to present formal development.
proposals to the RCTC for the specific site. During this stage, development teams are
to be evaluated on two major criteria:
1`. the Experience and Qualifications of the DevelopCnent Team
2. the Financial Capacity of the Development Team
Public notice of the RFQ issuance will be posted at least 30 days prior to the date .set
for receipt of_ ' Statements of Qualification. Development` : tearns that meet the
predetermined minimum requirements for both evaluation criteria will be invited by
RCTC to participatein the second stage of the development solication process.
The second stage of the development solication / RFP process is an Assessment of
Development Proposals. During this stage, the set of pre -qualified development teams
will be given the opportunity to prepare: a proposal for development on the site in
question. The proposals shall include:.
Rev #1, 11/29/05
RCTC Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines, June 2005
1. A description of the. project (program and schematic site plans)
2. A description of the approach to implement . the proposed project
(management plan, schedule, and financial terms).
Proposals shall be evaluated by a; review panel selected by the Executive :Director. It is
anticipated that the :panel will include representatives from the local jurisdiction and
RCTC staff: Additionally, an urban design panel may be used to evaluate;;: projects in an
advisory, capacity.. to the review committee. The RCTC shall notify Proposers within.30
days following their proposal . submittals as to the estimated time Jrame for :proposal'
review. It is ,the intent .of the: Commission to :review proposals as .expeditiously as
possible, and review periods may be dependent on the volume and ,complexity of the
proposals. The review committee will use the Rail Station Joint Development Checklist.
to evaluate the initial submittals and make recommendations to the Commission on, the
selected developer/proposal to _ be considered for advancement : to the Exclusive.
Negotiations Agreement phase:
Exclusive Negotiations Agreement
Upon recommendation and approval of the Commission, the Executive Director may
enter into an Exclusive Negotiations Agreement (ENA) with the selected developer for a
period of 180 days or such other term that is mutually acceptable to :the parties.
A. Requirements of proposer/developer under the E'NA:

Stephanie Wiggins, Regional Programs Director
SUBJECT:
Long Range Passenger Rail Planning Effort
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the. Committee to receive and file the report on the Long Range
Passenger Rail Planning Effort that summarizes the current plans and projects.
relating to passenger rail in Riverside County.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION.•
At its February 15`h meeting, the Transit Policy Committee (TPC) identified the need
for a master rail plan for Riverside County (County). The primary focus of this
effort is .to ensure that the core potential rail transportation corridors are identified
and that the future right-of-way is protected. With' the tremendous development
pressures that the County and local cities are experiencing now is the time to reap
out the future needs of the County. The first step is this process is to reviewthe
current commuter rail network, service from identified in the commuter rail
feasibility studies, and related regional transportation initiatives. The next step is a
review of the right-of-way issues as they relate to federal funding eligibility. This
document provides a profile of ,the routes- both existing and proposed and includes
a brief discussion on the key topics of interest. Following is the list of the rail
categories and specific routes.

Discussion: The California , State Rail Plan 2005/06 to 2015/16 proposes
Amtrak/Caltrans intercity :rail service on this route similar to.: the 'Pacific .Surfliner service.
The Caltrans operating planreflects the recommendations :of a` 1999 study prepared by
the Coachella Valley. Association of Governments (Coachella Valley Passenger Rail
Feasibility Study) to operate. a state-fundedintercity rail passenger service. The primary
issue .with this route is that the Union Pacific ,Railroad has not- supported any passenger
rail service on their congested freight lines. Amtrak. and Caltrans have .limited rights to
operate over the freight railroad's tracks, rights that Metrolink and RCTC do, not have. In
April 2006, the Commission passed a Resolution of Support for this route and encouraged
the statelegislature to support funding for this service.

Potential Right. -of -Way Set Asides
The Commission completed the Community and Environmental Transportation
Acceptability 'Process (CETAP): to determine where to locate- major new multimodal
transportation facilities -in Western 'Riverside County. As part of these corridors,
additional right-of-way was included in the planning to :potentially serve as 'future
rail corridors. The following three projects -have, the potential for future rail_
development: 1) Along the 1-215 between 'Newport Road` to the 1-15 in Temecula
the plan calls for an average of 500-1,000 ft of right-of-way and the proposed
highway only needs 300 feet; 2) Along . the 'Mid County Parkway the East/West
lntracounty Corridor between SR. 79 and I-15 near the existing Cajalco Road/
Ramona Expressway the plan is to acquire 220 ft of right-of-way and some of that
could be use for rail; and 3) As part of the 'Riverside County to Orange County
Major Investment Study, the potential of a tunnel connecting the two counties is
being explored. Currently the tunnels are planned to be 42 .foot tunnels that can
carry two lanes of vehicle traffic. The project anticipates the need for possibly
three tunnels with the third to be use for peak flow traffic or possibly rail. An
option of a fourth tunnel for rail may also be explored. These existing planning
efforts have outlined potential future rail corridors along withthe highway
improvements.
Another potential right-of-way "set aside is along the 1-15 rail corridor currently
being studied between Corona and Lake Elsinore on the way to Temecula. The
Commission has received preliminary interest from some of the property developers.
along the route who would be interested in setting aside a corridor for future rail
transportation. The concept of a Public -Private Partnership could be used to set
aside the right-of-way and "offset the property acquisition costs associated with the
project. Initial estimates for the right-of-way valuealong this section are at
$19.5 million along the 15.7 mile corridor. Staff is currently- exploring potential
options to determine if the Public -Private Partnership will make the project more
competitive. The results will be presented along with the completed 1-15
Commuter Rail Feasibility Study this summer.
Right -of -Way
The solution to protecting property and right-of-way for the proposed rail corridors
will need to come from many sources. A significant amount of cooperation and
leadership will be required from both the County and local cities that have the land
use authority and ability to work directly with .developers and property owners.
The Commission does not have land use authority and therefore must follow
specific rules in regards to advance right-of-way acquisition related to a project.
Agenda Item 8 30
Specifically in the Code of federal Regulations (CFR) 23 :CFR 710.503, .the rules:
provide that only in extraordinary cases and emergency situations .an agency may
requestfrom and the, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) may approve . federal
participation in the acquisition of a particular .parcel or parcels prior to completion
of the ,environmental process. There are two circumstance in which this can be
done;, Hardship acquisition, : which . is to alleviate a particular hardship to the
property owner, and .;protective acquisition to prevent the imminent development
and increased cost of a parcel that would limit the corridor alternatives.
In addition, a major consideration in making a decision on advance acquisition is the,
effect on the ` federal : funding for the parcel and the project as a whole. 1f the
federal regulations .are not followed, the FTA : may deny federal funding for the
whole project. furthermore, if the advance acquisition of the parcel is determined
to influenced the environmental assessment of the project alternatives, the
environmental clearance may also be compromised and the project not be _allowed
to move, forward. With the tremendous capital costs needed to develop any of the
proposed rail projects, it is critical to carefully follow the federal regulations and not
jeapordize the federal funding for the project.

Stephanie Wiggins, Regional Programs Director
SUBJECT:
Transit Visioning: Next Steps
, STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committeeto receive and file the presentation on the next
steps in the transit visioning process.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The development of a transit vision was a recommendation made as a result of the
Commission's FY 2000/01 through FY 2002/03 Triennial Performance Audit:: -The
establishment of the Transit Policy Committee (TPC) provided the institutional
means to provide overall policy direction in the development of the county -wade
transit system planning process. As previously reported, included in the policy
discussion is the allocation of the 2009 Measure A funds for four program areas in
Western Riverside as well as the Transportation Development Act (TDA) formula
for Western Riverside's Commuter Rail. and Bus programs. Attached is an
overview, by apportionment area, of the 2009 Measure A funding and current TDA
funding split for Western Riverside. The prevailing policy question is the dollar
amount which should be set aside for each of the following ,program areas:>
$390,000,000:
➢ Commuter Rail
➢ Intercity Bus;'
Note: Maximum of $255M available
for Commuter Rail and Intercity Bus
Specialized Transit ($85M minimum threshold)
➢ Commuter Assistance ($50M - minimum threshold)
In addition to the $390 million set aside for Western Riverside, approximately
$188 million in Measure A funding has been identified for transit services . in
Coachella Valley' for public transit and specialized transportation services.
' Ordinance states "Fifteen percent (15%) of the Measure A revenues will be used to improve and
expand public transit and specialized transportation services in Coachella Valley.

The current TDA funding formula for 'Western Riverside is 78 % fo bus and 22 %
for commuter ailQ o i
.. When the 78 /d/22 /q funding formula was approved, a timeline
was establi hed .to review the funding `formula 'n FY '2007/08 withproposed
changes, if any, to be implemented in IFY 2009/10. From,a policy perspective, it is '
beneficial to :review both the Measure A End TDA funding formula simultaneously
as the process should nfurther assist thei{ Commission' in developing a vision of
transit Service' or Ri I erside County.
In January 2006, an .initial meeting for the TPC to begin the process ,of developing
a transit vision was held'. At that time, it 'was = anticipated: that the transit visioning
process would be completed by .October 2006; :however, through the process of
identifying proposed projects, . it became' apparent that requests for funds exceeded
anticipated revenue Snce that time, ` the Commission , retained: the ; services ° of

Advisory Committee and Western Riverside Measure "A"
Specialized Transit Recipients
From: Tanya Love, Program Manager
Re: Transit Policy Committee Agenda
As a result of the discussions at the February 13, 2007 meeting of the
Citizens' Advisory Committee/Social Services Transportation Advisory
Committee (CAC/SSTAC), a decision was made to provide a copy of the
Commission's . Transit Policy Committee agenda to members of the
CAC/SSTAC as well as current Measure A grant recipients. I invite you to
attend these meetings as I believe they will be beneficial in learning more of
the Commission's activities as they relate toour transit oversight
responsibilities.
