Both the traffic and gross potential revenues have exceeded our projections from our work in October 2003. Average daily traffic (ADT) on the 91 Express Lanes for fiscal year (FY 2006 starts on July 1st, 2005 and ends on June 30th, 2006) 2006 was approximately 38,800 vehicles which is 15 percent higher than the original projection made in October 2003. Annual gross potential revenue for FY 2006 was approximately $37.5 million, which is approximately 18 percent higher than was previously forecasted. Traffic and gross potential revenue have increased at an average annual rate of 12.3 percent and 12.1 percent, respectively, from FY 2003 to FY 2006. Traffic and gross potential revenue increases can be attributed to the heavy congestion that drivers experience while traveling on . the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes. Low travel speeds, especially during the AM peak westbound and. PM peak eastbound make the free -flowing 91 Express Lanes an attractive option. More drivers in the corridor have been willing to pay the toll to take advantage of the time savings than were assumed in the October 2003 work. The updated traffic and revenue model incorporates recent 91 Express Lanes traffic and gross potential revenue data, and count data from the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes. A notable change to the model is the allocation of more eastbound SR-91 corridor traffic to the 91 Express Lanes during the AM peak, PM peak, and evening periods than in the 2003 report, resulting in the higher volumes, higher forecast toll rates, and the higher gross potential revenue that are currently observed. OCTA's revision of the year 2003 State Route 91 Implementation Plan also necessitated new traffic and gross potential revenue projections. Major differences between the 2003 and the current 2006 State Route 91 Implementation Plan are: ➢ Improvements scheduled for year 2008 have a new targeted completion date of 2011 Riverside Freeway / SR-91 capacity improvements previously scheduled for completion in 2013 are now projected to be finished in year 2015 and year 2020 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1 2007' Page 2 of 49 ➢ Provisions are made for Metrolink service and station improvements not identified in the 2003 plan The changes in project completion dates are due to the refinement of project costs and availability of local and state resources. The changes in project completion dates result in higher traffic and gross potential revenue forecasts in the interim years than were provided in the October 2003 study. By year 2020 many major improvement projects are anticipated to be completed. Gross potential revenues are expected to be lower than prior forecasts as additional transit service, amongst other factors, . results in lower corridor demand and thus lower 91 Express Lanes traffic and gross potential revenue. The updated model is also used to provide traffic and gross potential revenue projections under three alternatives to the baseline scenario not presented in the ` October 2003 study: • Scenario 2: Extend the 91 Express Lanes from the Orange / Riverside County Line to the Corona Freeway / 1-15 by providing two reversible express lanes by year 2015. The lanes would generally serve westbound traffic during the morning and eastbound traffic during the afternoon and evening. Variable tolls high enough to ensure a congestion -free ride on the extension would be charged in Riverside County. ➢ Scenario 3: Extend the 91 Express Lanes from the Orange/ Riverside County Line to 1-15 in both directions by year 2015. Instead of reversible express lanes between the county line and 1-15, a .full two-lane per direction facility would be provided. Direct connector ramps between the Eastern- Transportation Corridor / SR-241 and. the 91 Express Lanes (241 DC's) would be constructed by year 2030. Motorists using the extended express lanes would also be charged a toll as in Scenario 2, while those using the proposed 241 DC's would pay a toll that is equal to half of the charge for using OCTA's 91 Express Lanes. ➢ Scenario 3b: Similar to a full 91 Express Lanes extension, but include direct connector ramps between the 91 Express Lanes extension in Riverside County and the Chino Valley Freeway / SR-71 in addition to .the 241 DC's by year 2030. 91 Express Lanes forecast traffic and gross potential revenue under the three alternatives are similar to those in the baseline scenario. To a large degree, the decision to use either OCTA's 91 Express Lanes or the proposed extension of the 91 Express Lanes in Riverside County is expected to be independent. Motorists will choose to use the 91 Express Lanes because of the travel time savings in its 10 mile span. Travel time savings from using the 91 Express Lanes is expected to be unaffected by motorists' travel decisions elsewhere. VC')I.I 'O€ R 1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 3 of 49 The 91 Express Lanes opened on December 27, 1995, and have provided an additional four lanes of capacity in the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor to allow for traffic growth. The 91 Express Lanes, shown in Figure 1, is a four -lane, 10-mile toll road built in the median of California's Riverside Freeway / SR-91 between the Costa Mesa Freeway / SR-55 and the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 interchange in the west and the Orange/Riverside County line in the east. Other than the adjacent Riverside Freeway / SR-91, there are no other competing freeways in the immediate area; the closest competing freeway is Pomona Freeway / SR-60, which is approximately 10 miles to the north. The Riverside Freeway /. SR-91 carries east -west traffic between Riverside and Orange Counties, and continues into Los Angeles County. In the Riverside County portion of the Study Area (Figure 1), the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 has eight general purpose lanes and two HOV lanes. Between the Orange/Riverside County line and the Costa Mesa Freeway / SR-55, the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 has eight to ten general purpose lanes and four toll lanes, called the 91 Express Lanes. Between the Costa Mesa Freeway / SR-55 and the Orange Freeway / SR-57, the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 has six general purpose lanes plus two HOV lanes. Traffic in the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor is separated by yellow channelizers between the general purpose lanes and the 91 Express Lanes. Vehicles not paying a toll and traveling on the four or five general purpose (toll -free) lanes in each direction are referred to as the general purpose traffic. Those vehicles using the two toll road lanes in each direction are referred to as the 91 Express Lanes traffic. The sum of the two streams of vehicle traffic is called the global traffic volume, and it represents all vehicles using the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor.

The 91 Express Lanes ADT levels are also shown for context. The global ADT volume in 1995 was 207,000 vehicles. By 1997, the global ADT volume had . grown to 229,000 vehicles. From 2003 to 2006, global ADT volumes grew from approximately 264,000 to approximately 278,000 vehicles, an increase of Over five percent: Figure 2 SR-91 Historical Average Daily Traffic Levels 300000 250,000 200,000 m 150,000 a 100,000 50,000 0 1980 1985 Global ADT M 91 Express Lanes ADT. 1990 1995 Calendar Year 2000 2005 * 91 Express Lanes opened December 27, 1995 ** 20N ADT global volume is estimated pursuant to the 2006 hourly simulation model calibration 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page6 of 49. 2.2 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Gross Potential Revenue Figure 3 compares Riverside Freeway / SR-91 global traffic to 91 Express Lanes. traffic . from the opening year of 1996 to 2006, with 1997 indexed to 1. This illustrates the above average growth in the use of the 91 Express Lanes. While Riverside Freeway / SR-91 AST has grown approximately 21 percent since 1997 (1996 is not used to compare growth rates because the impact of ramp -up masks the underlying traffic growth), an average annual rate of just over two percent, the 91 Express Lanes ADT has grown some 87 percent, an average annual rate of just over seven percent in the same period (1996 has been ignored to reduce the impact of ramp -up on the 91 Express Lanes). Since 2003, the 91 Express Lanes ADT volume has grown annually at over 12 percent.

Since the October 2003 forecast, traffic and gross potential revenues have increased at an average annual rate of 12.3 percent and 12.1 percent, respectively, from FY 2003 to FY 2006 The drop in 91 Express Lanes ADT and market share in FY 2000 (see Figure 4 below) is directly attributable to the opening of the Eastern Transportation Corridor (ETC) in October 1998. The ETC provides an alternative to using Costa Mesa Freeway / SR-55 as a connector 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 7 of 49 to Riverside Freeway / SR-91 and access to the 91 Express Lanes. However, the new ETC toll road did not provide a connection to the 91 Express Lanes resulting in a reduction in 91 Express Lanes traffic and gross potential revenue. The decline in FY 2004 gross potential revenues versus FY 2003 in spite of the increase in traffic was due to a change in HOV-3+ toll policy. Starting in FY 2004, OCTA allowed HOV-3+ vehicles to travel for free during all hours and in both directions, with the exception of the 4 to 6 PAS -time period during the weekdays in the eastbound direction. Before OCTA acquired the 91 Express Lanes, the prior toll policy required HOV-3+ vehicles to pay a 50 percent discounted toll during all hours in both directions. The average overall daily market share of vehicles using the 91 Express Lanes is currently approximately 14 perc,ent of the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 ADT global volume, a figure that has risen consistently from its 2003 share of approximately 11 percent. The 91 Express Lanes' market share exceeds 30 percent during peak hours (the 91 Express Lanes represent about 33 percent of the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor's capacity) when volumes are greater and <the general purpose lanes are more congested, and are less than five percent during the less congested off-peak periods.

Eastbound, the broadening of the peak hoar portion of the curves is a result of the super- peak hours' (defined by the OCTA `toll Policy as an "hourly period, per day, and per direction with tragic volume use which rneets or exceeds the Trigger Point" of 3,128 vehicles) traffic levels increasing and the need for shoulder hours to accommodate spreading demand from the super -peaks. Both physical capacity constraints and OCT 's "doll Policy keep super:. -peak hours' throughput from exceeding the maximum traffic levels experienced today. Future SR-91 eastbound global demand growth will have to be : absorbed in shoulder and off-peak hours, which will increase the 91 Express Lanes eastbound market share and further broaden the hourly distribution curve. Westbound, morning peak hours of 6 t0 9 AM experienced FY 20 to-2'005 traffic volume growth of 30 to 40 percent. VVhile not as substantial, 91 Express Lanes westbound traffic volume growth throughout the day has been significant. 91 'Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 10 0f 49 .

For the purposes of our traffic and revenue pm1ections, in accordance with the Toll Policy, it is assumed that starting in FY 2011, H V- + vehicles will once again travel for free at all times. Figures 9 and 10, respectively, shove the weekday eastbound and westbound H V-3+ vehicle shares for FY 2002 through FY 2006. OCTA's Toll Policy change in 2003 resulted in a two to three percent increase in the share of eastbound 91 Express Lanes traffic that are H V-3+ vehicles during daytime hours. Overnight, lower overall 91 Express Lane traffic levels result in more inconsistent trends. Westbound, trends are not as clear during daytime hours, but similar HOV-3+ levels experienced eastbound also occur westbound'. Since OCTA adopted its Toll Policy in FY 2004, the H 3+ shard of 91 Express Lanes traffic has stayed at similar levels. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 .

A selection of these toll rate increases for eastbound and westbound VVednesdays are shown on Figures 11 and 12 respectively (not all increases are shown for purposes of display clarity).00TA's Toll Policy requires toll rate increases when any hour's average hourly traffic volume exceeds 3,200 vehicles for at least six weeks in a 12 week period. In addition, the Toll 'Policy includes inflation adjustment on July l st of each year based on OCTA's contract inflation factor. OCTA's contract inflation factor is calculated by using a 75 percent Labor Index Adjuster and 25 percent Consumer Price Index Adjuster. There are currently three super -peak hours, all of which occur in the eastbound direction: to 4 PM on Friday and 4 to 6 PM Monday through Friday. There has also been one super -peak toll increase from 6 to 7 PM on both Tuesday ,and Thursday. 91 Express Lanes customers' reaction to super -peak toll increases has proven to be highly inelastic to date. Since the October 2003 forecast, there have been 12 dates on which a total of 46 ,super -peak toil increases have occurred'. The toll on the eastbound 91Express Lanes between 4 and 5 PM and .5 .and 6 PM on Thursday is currently $9.25, a $3.75 increase since 2003. In addition, the toll on Friday from 3 to 4 PM is also $9.25. Hourly usage of the eastbound 91 !Express Lanes continually exceeds 3,100 or 3,200 vehicles in the super -peak hours. Westbound traffic volumes have only warranted annual inflation adjustment toll increases. 91 express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 14 of 49 Figure 11 9.1 Express Lanes Eastbound Toll Rate History: Wednesdays $9.00 00 $7.00 -00 $6.00 0 $3.00 $2.00 $1.00 $0.00 12 00.AM 3:00 AM 6:00 AM 9:00 AM 12:00 PM 3:00 PM 6:00 PM 9:00 PM Hour Beginning —V--depr-98 i -00 w„- Nov-03 Oci-04 - - Aug-05 --a--,tar►-07 1 * Note: Not all increases are shown for better display purposes.

UPDATE 3./ Oct er 2003 Traffic and Revenue Projections Overview The goal of CTA's Toll Policy is to increase mobility in the highly. congested Riverside Freeway l SR-91 corridor by offering a congestion -free ride on the 91 Express Lanes. The 91 Express Lanes alternative has historically been most valuable to eastbound commuters who use the toll road on an as -needed basis when traveling home in the evening peak period. As the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor expetiences increasing congestion during more hours of the day both eastbound and westbound, drivers have responded by increasing their use of the 91 Express Lanes. The hours when 91 Express Lanes customers are most impacted by toll increases, the super -peak hours of 3 to 4 P on Friday and 4 to 6 PM Monday to Friday eastbound, have shown highly inelastic demand characteristics. The result has been an extremely high growth rate for both 91 Express Lanes traffic: and gross potential revenue, averaging 12.3 . percent and 12.1 percent, respectively, annually from 2003 to 2006. Actual ADT on the 91 Express ;.Lanes for FY 2006 was approximately 38,300 vehicles, about 15 percent higher than forecasted. Annual gross potential revenue was approximately $37.5 million, about 19 percent higher than previously forecast. Figures 13 and 14 compare forecasted and 'actual 91 Express Lanes, weekly traffic and gross potential revenue, respectively, from FY's 2003 when the 2003 projection was made, through FY 2006. Figure 15 compares forecasted and actual 91 Express Lanes monthly average toll rates. Forecasted toll rates are average rates for the entire year since forecasts are trade on a yearly basis. As shown, the actual toll rates are almost always higher than those estimated in our previous forecast. 1 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update Febtuary 1, 2007 Page 16 '0f 49 Figure 13 91 Express es Weekly Traffic: October 2003 Projections vs. Actual 350,000 300,000 it 250,000 et% q 200,000 e e 150,000 6/29/03 1229/03 6/29/04 12/29/04 6/29/05 1229/05 Week Beginning --•- Projected Traffic —Actual Tindfic Figure 14 1 Express Lanes Weekly Gross Potential Revenue: October 2003 Projections vs. Actual $900,000 $800,000 $700,000 $600,000 $500,000 $400 000 $300,000 6/29/03 12/29/03 629/04 12/29/04 6/29/05 1 Z29/05 Week Beginning Projected Revenue — - Actual Revenue 91 Exprses Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 17 of 49 Figure 15 91 Express Lanes Monthly Average Toil: October 2003 Projections vs. Actual $300 $2.90 $280 $2.70 ° $260 I $2.50 $2AO 92.30 $220 $2.10 $2.00 July 2003 Jury 2004 T r l r z T I i. r r r I July 2004 January 2005 July 2005 January 2006 -•- Projected Avg Toll -a- Actual Avg Toll 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 18 of 49 3.2 Manual and Loop Count Program To supplement the 91 Express Lanes transaction data collected from the 91 Express Lanes, a manual and loop count program on the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes was performed in June 2005 (loop count data was also provided for the 91 Express Lanes but the more reliable transaction data was .the focus for model development). Seven-day continuous 15-minute counts were performed from Monday, June 20t until Sunday, June 26th, 2005 at two locations: milepost 12.185 -and 17.053 (west and east of ETC, respectively). Fifteen -minute manual counts were performed from 5 AM to 8 PM on Tuesday, June 21 st and Friday, June 24th, 2005 at two locations, Weir Canyon and Green River Road, which also straddle the ETC. The count locations are shown in Figure 16. Figure 16 June 2005 Count Locations Loop Count Locations tU P 12185 ancl 17.053 The count program was necessary to gain information about hourly traffic volumes on the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes and global traffic volume to capacity (v/c) ratios. Global v/c ratios combined with toil rate data formed the basis for market share curves used in our hourly simulation model. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update' February 1 2007 _ Page 19 of 49 . Overall, the loop and manual counts on the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes offered inconsistent data. The loops in many of the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes registered little or no activity during periods of heavy congestion. Missing or poor lane counts were replaced with estimates based on counts available from other lanes and time periods to create a more reasonable data set to work with. - Comparison of manual count data to loop data revealed inconsistencies with no clear relationship that allowed for reasonable adjustments. For this reason, the manual counts were largely ignored for model building purposes. Combining the adjusted Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lane ADT volumes from loop count locations 12.185 and 17.053 and the 91 Express Lanes transaction data provides a range of global volumes on the SR-91 corridor. Actual ADT global volumes range from 255,000 to 270,000. Congestion levels and 91 Express Lanes market share indicate this volume should be higher. For the purposes of our hourly simulation model, we maintained the October 2003 work assumption that ADT demand for the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor in 2005 was 273,000 vehicles. 3.3 Hourly. Simulation Model Analysis of the 91 Express Lanes transaction data as well as the adjusted loop count data on the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes from June 2005 formed - the basis for the updated hourly simulation model. Historical information from Caltrans was also used to develop an hourly distribution of global traffic in the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 Corridor. Typical conditions for hourly distribution of global traffic, hourly usage of HOV-3+ lanes, and daily relationships between global eastbound and westbound volumes were established. Also, the main driver of the 91 Express Lanes market share — global v/c data and its relationship to toll rates; — was studied extensively. A challenge throughout the creation of the hourly simulation model was the requirement to model demand for the SR-91 corridor (general purpose and 91 Express Lanes). Total corridor demand cannot be measured accurately for our needs because of capacity limitations on the roadway. This limitation is most obvious during congested peak periods. During periods of highest general purpose lane congestion, low travel speeds result in vehicle throughput that is lower than in other less congested hours of the day. As a result, traffic counts cannot be directly used as a measure of demand for SR-91 corridor capacity. In the production of the hourly simulation model, peak period demand is instead estimated based upon throughput data. In the October 2003 study, Vollmer provided a projection of future traffic demand for model years 2011 and 2025 based on forecasted improvements. This included modification of the regional transportation model known as OCTAM 3.1 and recalibration of the new 2000 base year traffic model. Global traffic volume inputs for future fiscal years 2010, 2020, and 2025 for the updated hourly simulation model are based on the VOCTAM (modified OCTAM 3.1 model) model outputs that assumed 2006 State Route 91 Implementation Plan specifications. The updated forecast also assumes increased ADT global growth from 2006 during initial years leading up to through 2010. Increased near term growth is consistent with FY 2006 observations. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 20 of 49 3.4 2006 State Route 91 implementation Plan The updated 2006 91 Express Lanes traffic and revenue forecast assumes the timing and roadway improvements identified in the 2006 State Route 91 Implementation Plan. The 2011, 2015, 2020, and 2030 proposed improvements listed below were considered in the development of the forecasts. By Year 2011 ➢ Eastbound Lane Addition from SR-241 to SR-71 • Green River Road Overcrossing Replacement • Safety Improvements at Truck Scales ➢ Express Bus Improvements -Orange County to Riverside County ➢ Metrolink'Short-Term Expansion Plan By Year 2015 • Widen SR-91 by One GP Lane in Each Direction East of SR-241, CD Roads at SR-71/S'R-91 and I-15/SR-91, and System Interchange Improvements • SR-91 WB Lane at Tustin Avenue • New Interchange at Fairmont Boulevard ➢ SR-91 Reversible Express Lanes from County Line to 1-15 (Scenario 2 only): ➢ SR-91 full Express Lanes from County Line to 1-15 (Scenario 3 and 3b only) By Year 2020 ➢ Wide,n;SR-91 between'SR-55 and SR-241 by Adding a 5th GP Lane in Each Direction. ➢ SR-55/SR-91 Interchange Improvements • Metrolink Service and Station Improvements By Year 2030 ➢ SR-241/SR-91 Express Lanes Direct Connector (Scenario 3 and 3b only) • SR-71/SR-91 Express Lanes Direct Connector (Scenario 3b only) 3.5 Hourly Global Distribution The updated 91 Express 'Lanes hourly simulation model distributes more traffic to shoulder and off-peak hours and less to peak hours. As peak hours grow ;more congested due to increased global demand, 91 Express Lanes demand will be spread to shoulder and off-peak hours. The resulting hourly distribution is weighted more. toward shoulder and off-peak hours. This weighting is enhanced over time by the fact that _heavy congestion does not allow for additional traffic growth during super peak hours. A key input into the 91 Express Lanes hourly simulation model is the distribution of average daily global demand (provided from VOCTAM, the modified regional OCTAM 3.1 model). The updated 91 Express Lanes hourly simulation model distributes more traffic to shoulder and off-peak hours and less to peak hours. Within the updated hourly 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 21 of 49 simulation model, estimated demand that cannot be met in peak hours is redistributed to shoulder hours. 3.6 Market Share and Volume -Capacity Ratio Transaction data provided by the 91 Express Lanes as well as the loop and manual counts performed on the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes in June 2005` established typical global conditions (91 Express Lanes and general purpose lanes as a whole). The relationship between global v/c ratios, 91 Express Lanes market share, and toll rates formed the basis for 91 Express Lanes demand curves used in the updated hourly simulation model. As the ratio of vehicles on the SR-91 corridor (general purpose and 91 Express Lanes) to the capacity of the corridor rises, drivers are more likely to decide to use the 91 Express Lanes. And while this rate of 91 Express Lanes usage also tends to decrease with increasing toll rates, the sustained high market share in super -peak hours (3 to 4 PM on Friday and 4 to 6 PM eastbound during the .week), even with super peak toll increases, shows that demand during these hours up to this point has been largely inelastic. Individual market share to v/c ratio curves were created for a range of toll rates. Curves were extrapolated for toll rates higher than those that exist now. In all, six sets of market share to v/c ratio curves were developed for the updated traffic and revenue forecast: ➢ Eastbound weekdays (Monday to Wednesday) ➢ Westbound weekdays (Monday to Wednesday) ➢ Eastbound Thursdays and Fridays ➢ Westbound Thursdays and Fridays ➢ Eastbound weekend (Saturday and Sunday) ➢ Westbound weekend (Saturday and Sunday) Plots of v/c ratios, market shares and toll rates continue to forecast that with similar v/c ratios, market share is significantly higher eastbound than westbound. 3.7 Toils Toll rates for model years 2010, 2020, and 2025 were estimated using 4CTA's Toll Policy as a guide, which states that a super -peak toll increase will be implemented when 91 Express Lanes volume exceeds 3,200 vehicles in a given hour for at least six weeks in a 12-week period. If no super -peak toll adjustment is implemented, the Toll Policy requires inflation adjustments on July 1st of each year (calculated by 75 percent of Labor Index Adjuster and 25 percent of Consumer Price Index Adjuster). For model years 2010, 2020, and 2025, model runs were performed with the appropriate inputs. When hourly 91 Express Lanes volumes reached levels beyond which would likely occur with the Toll Policy, super -peak toll increases were implemented in the years prior to the model year. A three percent annual rate was assumed for inflation of all other toll rates. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 22 of 49 ` Table 1 shows present value toll equivalent rates for our 2005 base model year, 2010, 2020, and 2025. The highest super -peak (presently 4 to 5 PM Thursdays and Fridays), average (eastbound and westbound) and overnight rates are displayed. As shown, '. super -peak hour tolls are expected to rise steadily until FY 2011. Capacity increases that come online in years 2011, 2015, and 2020 improve general purpose lane. conditions and consequently reduce demand for the 91 Express Lanes. The reduction in FY2020 toll rates on a real dollar basis relative to FY 2010 reflects the expected drop in 91 Express Lanes' demand: The super -peak toll again is projected to rise steadily from FY 2020 until FY 2025. Average tolls are expected to follow a similar but less distinct pattern, while overnight tolls grow by three percent per year from FY 2005 through FY 2025.

The large increase in 91 Express Lanes traffic ' and gross potential revenue indicated that daily global demand for the Riverside Freeway '/ SR-91 was higher than previously projected ` by the regional model dulput generated for the October 2003 study. The FY 2006 ADT global traffic volume input was therefore increased from 275,100 t0 278,000.

Forecasts for OCTA's 91 Express Lanes under three alternatives to the baseline scenario are also presented: • Scenario 2: 91 Express Lanes extension as reversible lanes ➢ Scenario 3: 91 Express Lanes extension as full -express lanes with direct - connector ramps to the Eastern Transportation Corridor / SR-241 ➢ Scenario 3b: 91 Express Lanes extension as full -express lanes with direct- connector ramps to the Eastern Transportation Corridor / SR-241 and the Chino Valley Freeway / SR-71. In addition to forecasts of OCTA's 91 Express Lanes traffic and gross potential revenue, an estimate of traffic and gross potential revenue for the proposed tolled direct -connector ramps to / from SR-241 under Scenario 3b is presented. 4.1 Traffic and Gross Potential Revenue Projections —Scenario 1: Baseline The baseline scenario assumes that the configuration of the existing 91 Express Lanes remain unchanged throughout the forecast period. Improvements to the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes and intersecting arterials are expected to be completed as stated in the 2006 State Route 91 Implementation Plan. The forecast fiscal year 2010, 2020, and 2025 gross potential revenue projections assume the current Toll Policy decision process, which requires toll rate increases when each hour's average high hourly traffic volumes exceed 3,200 vehicles_ for at least 6 weeks in a 12-week period. In addition, the Toll Policy includes inflation adjustments on July 1st of each year, starting in 2005. All HOV-3+ vehicles are assumed to travel for free in FY 2011. The hourly profile of HOV-3+ usage is assumed to remain constant throughout our projections. The HOV-3+ profile used was generated from historical data. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 26 of 49 4.1.1 2010 Traffic and Gross Potential Revenue — Scenario 1: Baseline In FY 2010, the forecasted gross potential revenue with the proposed Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor improvements is approximately $52.3 million based on an ADT volume of 42,100 vehicles on the 91 Express Lanes. The forecasted peak eastbound toll charged is $13.00 (Friday super peak hour). Super peak tolls were increased six out of a possible eight times from July 2006 to January 2010. Average gross potentialrevenue per trip (calculated over a 24-hour period and including HOV-3+ vehicles) is $3.44. The overnight toll is $1.25. Peak weekday market share of the eastbound 91 Express Lanes is estimated to be 30 percent of global traffic volume, while overall weekday market J share is estimated to be 14 percent. The updated FY 2010 gross potential revenue projection is 20 percent higher than the October 2003 forecast of'$43.6 million. The projections of 91 Express Lanes ADT are eight percent higher than the October 2003 forecast of 38,900 vehicles. Higher traffic and gross potential revenue projections are driven by the continuing acceptance of relatively high toll rates during super -peak hour travel as well as the postponement of Riverside Freeway / SR-91 improvements previously scheduled for completion in 2008 by three years to 2011. Table 5 shows forecast FY .2010 traffic and gross potential revenue by day -of -week and direction. 31 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 27 of 49 Table 5 FY 2010 Traffic and GrossPotential R Revenue ,scenario 'I..:.: Baseline Hourly Simulation Model Estimated FY 2010 91'.

Generally, these improvements would improve throughput on the SR-91 general purpose lanes by adding additional general purpose lanes and improving interchanges. Improvements to the region's express bus service and the Metrolink rail service are also expected to improve regional mobility.The projects are forecast to have negative impacts on the 91 Express Lanes ADT (traffic reduced by 6 to 10 percent) and gross potential annual revenue (revenue reduced by 7 to 13 percent). Gross potential revenue reductions are a product of reduced demand for the 91 Express Lanes and of the toll rate reductions that are expected to follow. By year 2020 when the series of near -term improvement projects in the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes are completed, the super -peak hour tolls that had been frequently increased according to the Toll Policy, will be reduced to levels that maintain 91 Express Lanes hourly traffic at levels deemed appropriate by the Toll Policy. FY 2020 super- peak hour toll rates in real dollars are assumed to be reduced to near FY 2006 levels (real dollars). Super -peak hour toll rates would also likely be reduced in years 2011 and 2015 when the 2006 State Route 91 Implementation Plan's Projects #4 and #6, respectively, are anticipated to be completed. The reductions are expected to be followed by annual toll increases and then reductions when general purpose lane capacity is added. The individual impacts of year 2011 and 2015 improvements on super -peak hour toll rates were not analyzed in the same level of detail as the year 2020 improvements. Non -super peak toll rates are expected to continue to be increased annually by the inflation adjuster (assumed to be 3 percent per year). The resulting FY 2020 average, super -peak hour, and overnight toll rates are displayed in Table 1 4.1.3 2025 Traffic and Gross Potential Revenue Forecasts — Scenario 1: Baseline In FY 2025, with the proposed Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor improvements in.. place, the forecasted gross potential revenue is approximately $81.2 million based on an ADT volume of 45,200 vehicles on the 91 Express Lanes. The forecast assumes an eastbound super -peak hourly rate of $21.20 on Thursdays and Fridays. Super -peak toll were increased six out of a possible 10 times from July 2020 to January 2025. Average gross potential revenue per trip is $4.97 and the overnight toll is $1.90. HOV-3+ vehicles travel for free in FY 2025 in accordance with the Toll Policy. Peak 91 Express Lanes market share is estimated to be 26 percent of global traffic volume. The 91 Express Lanes FY 2025 super peak market share is lower than in FY 2010 because of the planned expansion of the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 general purpose lanes in 2011, 2015, and 2020. The 91 Express Lanes are forecast to capture 14 percent of weekday global traffic volume in FY 2025. These updated FY 2025 gross potential revenue projections are 13 percent lower than the October 2003 forecast of $92.9 million. Traffic projections on the 91 Express Lanes 91 Express Lades Traffic and Revenue update Fe}xuary 1, 2007 Page 30 of 49 are 11 percent lower than the original forecast of 51,000 vehicles. Gross potential . revenues are :lower than forecast in the October 2003 study due in part to the expansion of Metrolink service. The 206 State 'Route 91 Implementation Plan°s proposed Project 12 is scheduled for completion by year 2020 and provides $335 million of funding for etrolink service and station improvements not identified in the 2003 SR-91 Implementation Plan. Global demand for the Riverside 'Freeway / SR-91 corridor is forecast to be lower than forecast in the October 2003 study. As a result, 91 Express Lanes AT and gross potential revenue are also expected to be lower. Table 7 shows FY 2025 traffic and gross potential revenue by period and direction.

This would provide users with an alternative means to bypass congestion in Riverside County. To a large degree, the decision to use either OCTA's 91 Express Lanes or the proposed extension of the 91 Express Lanes would be independent, but there are undoubtedly some users who would link the two trips, and thus look at the potential combined cost of the two facilities. We have reviewed the proposed extension of the 91 Express Lanes as reversible lanes in Riverside County, which is currently scheduled for completion by year 2015. Since people will choose to use the 91 Express Lanes because of the travel time savings in that 10-miles and their travel time savings on the 91 Express Lanes is unaffected by -travel time decisions elsewhere, our analysis indicates that the project is expected to have very little impact on utilization of the 91 Express Lanes in Orange County. As shown below, 91 Express Lanes traffic, toll rates, and gross potential revenue are similar to those in the baseline scenario. Since VOCTAM forecasts indicate slightly lower global traffic in the Riverside Freeway / SR-91 corridor, Scenario 2 average and super -peak tolls are also slightly lower than those in the baseline scenario. Table 10 presents Scenario 2 toll rates for FY 2020 and 2025.

Traffic and gross potential revenue are both two percent less than they are in the baseline scenario forecasts. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007; Page 36 of 49 Table 11 FY 2025 Traffic and Gross Potential Revenue ® Scenario 20 Reversible Express Lanes 91 Express Lanes A"T EB 24,700 Weekday WB 21,700 Thursday/ EB 29,000 Friday wEi 23,000 E6 21,800 Saturday VVB 19,300 ES 14,000 12,700 Sunday Totals Weekly Hourly Simulation ModeEstimated FY 2025 Gross Potential Daily Revenue $169,000 $8'1,000 $234,000 $86,000 $59,000 $50,000 $34,000 $32,000 310,900 $1,565,000 91 Express Gross Lanes Potential Annual Annual Traffic Revenue 3,700,000 $25,200,000 3,200,000 $12,100,000 3,000,000 $23,800,000. 2,300,000 $8,700,000 1,200,000 $3,300,000 1,100,000 $2,800,000 800000 $2,000,000 700,000 , $1,900,000 16,100)000 $79j800,000 Daily Average 44,400 $224,000 I" General Purpose n A° 140,000 146,600 152,200 151,100 149,400 1`51,900 ' 132,600 133, ° 2,034,200. 290,600 164,700 168,300 . 1,200 174,100 171,200 171,200 146,600 146,600 2,345,000 335000 Table 12 shows FY 2025 traffic and gross potential revenue forecasts by hour and direction for typical weekdays .

Since the opening of the Eastern Transportation Corridor / SR-241 by the Transportation Corridor Agencies in October 1998, there has been an expressed need to connect SR-241 directly to the 91 Express Lanes. The primary deterrent to the connection was the cost of the interchange structures required to make the physical connection. Scenario 3 assumes the inclusion of the tolled direct connector concept, with year 2030 set as the date of completion. Since people will choose to use the 91 Express Lanes because of the travel time savings in that 10-miles and their travel time savings on the 91 Express Lanes is unaffected by travel time decisions elsewhere, our analysis of Scenario 3 finds 91 Express Lanes forecast traffic and gross potential revenue similar to that in the baseline and reversible . lanes scenarios. The full extension is expected to have little impact on utilization of the 91 Express Lanes in Orange County. Scenario 3 toll rates as presented in Table 14 are generally unchanged relative to those in the baseline scenario.

The proposed improvement in year 2030 assumes the addition of a direct connector between the Eastern Transportation Corridor / SR-241 and the 91 Express Lanes to/from the east (241 DC's). Construction of the proposed 241 DC's would require the addition of an auxiliary lane in each direction, making the 91 Express Lanes between SR-241 and SR- 71 three -lanes wide per direction. East of SR-71, the extension of the 91 Express Lanes reverts to two -lanes per direction without any opportunities to exit the facility. As forecast by VOCTAM, an imbalance between modeled traffic demand and actual capacity exists under this configuration. Traffic demand on the 91 Express Lanes that would result from processing the forecast VOCTAM global demand east of the direct -connector would exceed available capacity on the two-lane extension. Forecasts made for FY 2030 by VOCTAM (and in general by models like VOCTAM) under Scenario 3 are not representative of realistic conditions. The eastbound bottleneck condition on the extension east of SR-71 results in a traffic and gross potential revenue forecast for Scenario 3 in FY 2030 that is not meaningful. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 44 of 49 Table 17 Hourly Simulation Model Interim Year Toll Policy Forecasts Scenario 3e Full Express Lanes with Direct Connector to/from SR-241 Fiscal Year (ending Global .tune 30th) ADT Forecast improvetnents.1 Toll Policy .

SR-71 in addition to adding an auxiliary lane to the 91 Express Lanes between SR-241 and SR-71. In order for the year 2030 addition of a direct -connector ramp between the extension of the 91 Express Lanes and SR-71 to mitigate the imbalance between eastbound traffic demand and capacity present in Scenario 3, enough drivers must exit the eastbound extension and continue northbound on SR-71. Under these conditions, the eastbound lane -drop is less likely to cause a bottleneck. Broad analysis of VOCTAM output shows that about one-third of traffic on the eastbound extension exits to SR-71 northbound. The remaining two -lanes should have sufficient capacity to accommodate the remaining vehicles that continue east. A positive traffic and gross potential revenue impact on the 91 Express Lanes is forecast due to the availability of this direct move to SR-71. In FY 2030, 91 Express Lanes gross potential annual revenue is forecast to be $105.9 million, two percent higher than in the baseline `scenario. 91 Express Lanes ADT is forecast to be 49,800, also about two percent higher than in the baseline scenario. 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Update February 1, 2007 Page 47 of 49 Table 18 Hourly Simulation Model Interim Year Toll Policy Forecasts - Scenario 3b: Full Express lanes with Direct Connector ramps to SR-241 and SR-71 Fomr.ast improvements !

Gross potential revenue projections do not consider the impact of toll violations, but a lack of vigilant enforcement has the potential to encourage traffic levels that exceed forecasted levels. 5) The capital program for the improvement of the Riverside, Freeway / SR-91 corridor will be undertaken as identified in the 2006 State Route 91 Implementation Plan 6) The definition of vehicles which are allowed free or discounted usage will not be significantly expanded during the forecast period. 7) Toll rates will be adjusted pursuant to the decision process in OCTA's Toll Policy. OCTA Item 4 May / 8, 2007 To State. Route 91 Advisory Committee From: Arthur T. Leah , Chief Executive Officer Subject: Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Overview Enabling legislation related to the 91 Express Lanes requires the Orange County Transportation Authority to annually issue a plan and proposed schedule for Riverside Freeway (State Route 91) improvementprojects eligible for funding by potential excess toll revenue. The Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation. Plan is provided for review and approval. Recommendation Approve the Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation Plan. Background State statute enacted by Assembly Bill 1010 (Chapter 688, Statutes of 2002) requires the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), in consultation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (ROTC), to annually issue a plan and a proposed completion schedule for the Riverside Freeway (State Route 91) improvements from the Ontario Freeway (Interstate 15) to the Costa Mesa Freeway (State Route 55). The intent of the plan is to establish a program of projects eligible for funding by potential excess 91 Express Lanes toll revenue. The Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation Plan is enclosed for review and approval. Discussion A major update to the implementation plan occurred in 2006, with Caltrans, ROTC, and corridor cities providing input. That update focused primarily on including recommendations from the :approved Riverside County -Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS) be incorporated into the plan, as well as Orange County Transportation Authority 550 South Main Street / P.O. Box 14184 / Orange / California 92863-1584 / (714) 560-OCTA (6282) Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 2 inclusion of preliminary traffic analysis describing the general benefits of major projects. The projects for the Draft 2007 State Route 91 (SR-91) Implementation Plan (Plan), have been updated based on the RCTC 10-Year Delivery Plan the state Proposition 1 B Corridor Mobility Improvement Account process, and. the Orange County voters approving the Renewed Measure M program. Further,' several major projects have been advanced through the project development process, and new information has been incorporated into the Plan. As before, OCTA collaborated with Caltrans, ROTC, and corridor cities for the Plan update. OCTA retained an engineering consultant for the update' that included convening technical meetings with agencies' staff. The results of this process are included in Attachment A. The Plan describes :projects and transportation benefits, anticipated implementation schedules. by milestone Year, and costs for major projects from now through 2030. The first set of projects will be completed by 2011.and includes four improvements at a total cost of approximately $150 . million. The projects include the Green River Road interchange overcrossing replacement, Metrolink service improvements, Express Bus improvements, and the eastbound (EB) SR-91 lane addition from the Eastem Transportation Corridor (State Route 241) to the Corona Expressway (State Route 71). These projects are either in the preliminary engineering, final design, construction, or procurement and implementation phases. The second set of projects will be completed in . the 2015 timeframe and will include five projects, with a total cost of just over $1 billion. The projects include new travel lanes between State Route 55 (SR-55) and. State Route 241 (SR-241); new travel lanes from SR-241 to Pierce Street in Riverside to add a fifth general purpose lane in each erection on the SR-91, interchange improvements at State Route 71 (SR-71)/SR-91,: and collector -distributor roads for EB SR-91 to SR-71 and in both directions at Interstate 15 (1-15); a I-15/SR-91 direct connector; a westbound lane at Tustin Avenue; and a potential new interchange at Fairmont Boulevard. Projects for implementation by 2020 include SR-55/SR-91 interchange improvements, a significant expansion of Metrolink service, and the SR-241/SR-91 direct connector. OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans will be initiating preliminary planning activities to define the scope and costs for these projects and to advance readiness when local, state, or federal funding becomes available. Consequently, there may be opportunities to advance these projects if: additional funding is made available. Projects for implementation by 2020 are anticipated to cost approximately $775 million. Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 3 Projects for implementation by 2030 focus on longer lead time projects. These three multi -billion dollar potential projects require significant amount of planning, design, and future policy and public input. In some cases, these projects may include previous projects as project components, such that all projects may not be implemented as described within this project summary. The Plan includes traffic analysis for major SR-91 projects. The results indicate that improvements planned will decrease travel time and improve peak hour travel speeds. While still planning concepts, the introduction of potential new corridors identified in the MIS by 2030 offer the potential capacity to manage future SR-91 demand. Further feasibility studies will determine if one or both concepts move forward in the project development process. Summary The Orange County Transportation Authority has completed the Draft 2007 State Route 91 Implementation Plan required by enabling toll road legislation. The Plan is presented for review and approval, and the final document will be transmitted to appropriate members of the state legislature. Attachment A.

This resulted in the development of the 91 Express Lanes facility in Orange County. The four -lane, 10-mile toll road runs along the median of State Route 91 (SR-91) in northeast Orange County between the Orange/Riverside County line and State Route 55 (SR-55). Since the 91 Express Lanes carried its first vehicle in December 1995, the facility has saved users millions of hours of commuting time. While the 91 Express Lanes facility has improved travel time along the SR-91 corridor, provisions in the franchise agreement between Caltrans and the private franchisee, the Califomia Private Transportation Company (CPTC), prohibited Caltrans and county transportation agencies from adding transportation capacity or operational improvements to the SR-91 corridor from Interstate 15 (I- 15) in Riverside County to the Orange/Los Angeles Counties border through the year 2030. Consequently, the public agencies were barred from adding new lanes, improving interchanges, and adding other improvements to decrease congestion on the SR-91 freeway. Recognizing the need to eliminate the non -compete provision of the franchise agreement, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill 1010 (Lou Correa) into law in September 2002, paving the way for much -needed congestion relief for thousands of drivers who use SR-91 to travel between Riverside and Orange Counties each day. The bill allowed the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to purchase the 91 Express Lane franchise and eliminate the existing clause that prohibited any capacity -enhancing improvements from being made to SR-91 until the year 2030. The purchase agreement for the 91 Express Lanes was completed in January 2003, placing the road in public hands at a cost of $207.5 million. With the elimination of the non -compete provision ("through AB 1010 and the subsequent 91 Express Lanes purchase by the OCTA, Orange County and Riverside County public officials and Caltrans Districts 8 and 12 have been coordinating improvement plans for SR-91. AB 1010 also requires OCTA, in consultation with Caltrans and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), to annually issue a plan and a proposed completion schedule for SR-91 improvements from 1-15 to SR-55. This plan establishes a program of projects eligible for funding by the use of potential excess toll revenue and other funds. This 2007 SR-91 Implementation Plan is the result of the requirement to provide the State Legislature with an annual Implementation Plan for SR-91 improvements and builds on the 2006 report, which was a major update of the previous annual Implementation Plans. This year's update includes projects identified in the Riverside County  Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS) as well as other project development efforts and funding programs such as the RCTC 10-Year Project Delivery Plan that outlines a number of projects such as the extension of Express Lanes from the Orange/Riverside County Line to 1-15, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) that provides a funding source for transportation projects, and the Renewed Measure M program that provides funding for transportation projects in Orange County. The 2007 SR-91 Implementation Plan includes an overview, identification of issues and needs, time frames for project packages to improve mobility on SR-91, and are listed based on a logical sequence for implementation. Project descriptions include conceptual lane diagrams (as appropriate), cost estimates (in 2007 dollars), and discussion of key considerations that need to be addressed in the planning and development of each project. This plan will provide OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans with a framework to implement SR-91 and other related improvements. Future annual plan updates will continue to refine the scope, cost, and schedule of each project included in this version of the plan. SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1 " Heavy traffic volumes from 1-15 (North and South) converge with SR-91. Weaving and merging condition is complicated by the close proximity of the Main Street off -ramp. V' High demand from several on -ramps within the eastern segment exacerbates traffic conditions during rush hours. SR-91 CORRIDOR CONDITIONS Project Limits The project study limits encompass the segment of SR-91 from west of the junction of SR-55 and SR-91 in the City of Anaheim in Orange County to east of the junction of SR-91 and 1-15 in the City of Corona in Riverside County. The freeway segment is approximately 17.3 miles long, and includes approximately 9.7 miles within Orange County and approximately 7.6 miles within Riverside County. Traffic Conditions Summary A review of traffic conditions in the Corridor indicates that the existing carrying capacity of the facility is inadequate to accommodate current and future peak demand volumes, and that Level of Service (LOS) F prevails in the peak direction during the entire peak period, where LOS F is defined as the worst freeway operating condition and is defined as a density of more than 45 passenger cars/lane/mile. The results also indicate that there are several physical constraints that generate unacceptable traffic queues. The following list summarizes the deficiencies identified along the SR-91 Corridor: " ;. " 0' The right eastbound (EB) general purpose (GP) lane is dropped at State Route 71 (SR-71). + The second EB High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane becomes a GP lane. Heavy downstream congestion forces traffic to exit at the Green River off -ramp. The backup caused by the off -ramp blocks the right lane of the mainline freeway. & High traffic volumes from Gypsum Canyon Road and Santa Ana Canyon Road contribute to congestion on the mainline. V' SR-241 merges with SR-91 causing additional congestion in the EB direction. Both EB lanes are dropped prior to SR-71. Heavy traffic reentering the freeway merges at slow speeds from existing WB and EB truck scales, impacting the general-purpose lanes. V' SR-55 merges with SR-91. The right EB lane on SR- 91 is dropped at Lakeview Avenue and the second lane is dropped at Imperial Highway creating a severe merge condition. V' High demand from Weir Canyon Road, Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue. V' Westbound (WB) traffic entering SR-91 at Lakeview Avenue weaving through three lanes from WB SR-91 to southbound (SB) SR-55 causes a mainline backup. PROJECT SUMMARY Many of the projects identified in this 2007 Implementation Plan are based on the Riverside County  Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS) that was completed in January 2006. The projects are presented based on potential implementation schedules and priorities established in the MIS. Table 1 summarizes the various projects in the 2007 SR-91 Implementation Plan. " The first set of projects will be completed by 2011 and include four improvements at a total cost of approximately $150 million. The projects include the Green River Road interchange overcrossing replacement, Metrolink service improvements, Express Bus improvements, and the eastbound SR- 91 lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71. These projects are in the process of preliminary engineering, final design, construction, or procurement and implementation, as noted in the project summaries. V' The 2015 improvements include five projects, with a total cost of approximately $1.1 billion. The projects include new travel lanes between SR-55 and SR-241; the 5th lane project from SR-241 to Pierce Street that will add a fifth GP lane in each direction on SR-91 and potentially extend the 91 Express Lanes to 1-15, interchange improvements at SR-71/SR-91, and collector -distributor (CD) roads for EB SR-91 to SR- 71 and in both directions at 1-15; an I-15/SR-91 direct connector; a WB lane at Tustin Avenue; and a potential new interchange at Fairmont Boulevard. V' Projects for implementation by 2020 include the SR- 241/SR-91 HOV/HOT connector, a significant expansion of Metrolink service and station SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2 " " enhancements, and SR-55/SR-91 interchange improvements. OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans will be initiating some preliminary planning activities for these projects to ensure readiness when local, state, or federal funding becomes available. Consequently, there may be opportunities to advance these projects if additional funding is made available. Projects for implementation by 2020 would cost approximately $775 million. Some of these projects may become components of 2030 and post-2030 projects. V' Projects for implementation by 2030 focus on longer -lead time projects. These three, multi -billion dollar potential projects require a significant amount of planning, design, and future policy and public input. In some cases, these projects may include previous projects as project components, such that all projects may not be implemented within this project summary. Traffic Analysis For the 2007 SR-91 Implementation Plan, the traffic impacts for major SR-91 capacity projects are analyzed. This analysis used the latest freeway operations software model available from UC Berkeley and 2007 traffic data. This freeway operations model provides a better depiction of actual travel delays experienced by motorists compared to traditional travel demand models. The model can be used to analyze freeway bottlenecks sometimes neglected in traditional travel demand models. This approach is especially important given high SR-91 traffic volumes and the potential for relatively few vehicles to significantly slow down traffic. For example, a minor freeway merging area can cause many vehicles to slow, cascading delay through the traffic stream, and suddenly both speed and volume rapidly decrease for major segments of the freeway. The operations analysis quantified travel time savings for eastbound afternoon and westbound morning conditions for the following major projects: " V' Eastbound lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71 by 2011 (Project 4).

V' New lanes in both directions from SR-241 to 1-15 by 2015 (Project 6). " New capacity provided by Corridor A and Corridor B by 2030 as suggested by the 2006 Riverside County  Orange County Major Investment Study (Projects 13 and 14). The results indicate that improvements planned for 2015 will significantly decrease travel time and increase travel 3 " speeds EB in the afternoon. These improvements, plus planned widening of SR-91 between SR-55 and SR-241 by 2015, will help manage the future growth in WB moming travel. However, the WB moming travel time remains nearly the same as today's conditions even with these improvements. The current design of the SR-551SR- 91 interchange limits the ability to move traffic into north and central Orange County via SR-55, and significant future vehicle delays may result without major interchange improvements and downstream capacity or diversion to other corridors. The introduction of Corridors A and B by 2030 offer the potential capacity to manage future SR-91 demand in both directions. While both of these corridors are still concepts, they provide substantial relief to EB and WB traffic congestion in the future. Further feasibility studies will determine if one or both concepts move forward in the project development process. The charts below describe the travel time benefits by year including these various project concepts. Time period "2007 A" in Figure 1-1 represents the inclusion of an EB SR-91 restripe and median barrier reconstruction project that will remove the CHP enforcement area and will extend the auxiliary lane from SR-71 to the Serfas Club Drive off -ramp.

Recently Completed Construction/Improvement Projects As of May 2007, the following physical improvements have been constructed/implemented: V' Express Bus improvements are implemented for the Galleria at Tyler to South Coast Metro route. V' Westbound auxiliary lane extension between the County Line and SR-241. This project eliminated the lane drop at the 91 Express Lanes and extended the existing auxiliary lane from the County Line to SR-241 in the westbound direction. This improvement minimized the traffic delays at the lane drop area, resulting in improved vehicle progression. V' Westbound restripe project extended the auxiliary lane between SR-71 and the County Line resulting in a new continuous auxiliary lane between SR-71 & SR-241. V' Safety Improvements at Truck Scales. Existing shoulders were improved, lanes were re -striped, illumination improved, and signage was modified into and out of the eastbound facilities. These projects provided enhanced freeway capacity and improved mobility for one of the most congested segments of the freeway. Recently Completed PSR's and other Reports In addition to the physical improvements in the corridor, there are several reports and PSR's that are completed or in draft form that identify improvements that will provide improved mobility. The reports and PSR's include: V' Project Report for Eastbound Lane from SR-241 to SR-71 (Expected 2007). V' Project Study Report "On State Route 91 Between the SR-91/SR-55 Interchange and the SR-91/SR-241 Interchange in Orange County" (April 2004).

Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment Plan (November 2006). V' Riverside County -Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS)  Final Project Report: Locally Preferred Strategy Report (January 2006). Updates from the 2006 Implementation Plan In addition, to the improvements and progress noted above, the following projects that were included in the 2006 SR-91 Implementation Plan have been modified or dropped for the 2007 Plan: V' SR-91 Reversible Lanes from the County Line to 1-15 project has been dropped since the time table will interfere with implementation of the 5th lane addition project from SR-241 to Pierce Street. Potential reversible operation is noted for the Corridor A project under the project description. V' The Green River Road overcrossing replacement project has begun construction in March 2007. V' The widening of SR-91 from SR-55 to SR-241 by adding a 5th GP lane in each direction has been moved up from 2020 to 2014 since it has received $22M in CMIA funding. V' The extension of Express Lanes to 1-15 is added to the 5th lane project widening from SR-241 to 1-15. V' The I-15/SR-91 direct connector project has been moved up from 2030 to 2015 to coincide with the schedule for 5th lane widening from SR-241 to 1-15. V' The SR-241/SR-91 HOV/HOT connector project has been moved up from 2030 to 2020 because of the accelerated schedules for projects along SR-91 that may impact the project and to potentially reduce throw -away costs from implementation of earlier improvements. V' RCTC, on behalf of Riverside Orange Corridor Authority (ROCA), a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA), has submitted the permit application to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service for geotechnical studies within the Cleveland National Forest for the Corridor B (Irvine -Corona Expressway) 4-lane facility from SR-241/SR-133 to I- 15/Cajalco Road. RCTC anticipates completing the feasibility study by the end of 2008. SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 5 " SECTION 2: implementation Plan " OVERVIEW The 2007 SR-91 Implementation Plan describes projects, implementation schedules, key consideration, benefits, and costs (in 2007 dollars) for major projects through 2030. Most of the projects identified in this Implementation Plan are based on the Riverside County  Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS) that was completed in January 2006. The projects are presented based on potential implementation schedules and priorities established in the MIS. The schedules for implementation of the packages of projects include 2011, 2015, 2020, and 2030. The 2011 and 2015 projects are capable of being implemented through the project development process with minimal to moderate environmental constraints. Some of the longer -range projects for 2020 and 2030 require more significant planning and environmental assessment prior to design. Each of the project improvements includes an estimate of project schedules. It is important to note that implementing various time saving measures, such as design -build or contractor incentives for eariy completion, may potentially reduce project schedules. The implementation phases are defined as follows: " ��9 Conceptual Engineering = Pre -Project Study Report (Pre-PSR)  Conceptual planning and engineering for project scoping and feasibility prior to initiating the PSR phase. V' Preliminary Engineering = Project Study Report (PSR)  Conceptual planning and engineering phase that allows for programming of funds. V' Environmental = Project Report/Environmental Documentation (PR/ED)  The detailed concept design that provides environmental clearance for project and programs for final design and right of way acquisition. The duration for this phase is typically 2- 3 years. V' Design = Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E)  Provide detailed design to contractors for construction bidding and implementation. V' Construction = The project has completed construction and will provide congestion relief to motorists. The intent of these implementation plan project packages is to provide an action list for OCTA, RCTC and Caltrans to pursue in the project development process or for initiating further studies. Figure 2-1 SR-91 Project Study Area from SR-55 to 1-15 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 6 " By Year 2011 The first set of projects will be completed by 2011 and include four improvements at a total cost of approximately $150 million (in 2007 dollars). The projects include the Green River Road interchange overcrossing replacement, Metrolink service improvements, Express Bus improvements, and the EB SR-91 lane addition from near SR-241 to SR-71. Most of these projects are in the process of preliminary engineering, final design, construction, or procurement and implementation. These projects are recommended for the first few years of the plan and will provide mobility improvements to the corridor when implemented. Most of these near term projects provide immediate operational benefits (with the overcrossing replacement accommodating future SR-91 capacity) with a minimum of effort required relative to environmental documentation and Right - of -Way constraints.

More trains are planned on the inland Empire - Orange County. (IEOC) tine that currently runs between San Bernardino, Riverside, and Grange Counties as well as the "91 Line' that goes from the Inland Empire to Los Angeles via Orange County, paralleling SR-91. Currently, 1 h trains a day run on the IEOC line and nine trains on the 91 Line for a total of 25 daily trains. The short-term expansion adds two additional 1E0C trains and four addifonal 91 Line trains by 2010 for a total of 3 t daily trains, subject to negotiations with BNSF, ROTC, and LACMTA. The planned short-term expansion is necessary to accommodate population and employment growth in the region as we as make the current service more convenient Key Considerations Capital costs necessary for this expansion includes the purchase of engines and coaches to operate the new service. OCTA costs are estimated at S35.4 million. The long-term plan (by 2020) adds more service and requires a significant capital investment (see Project #1 1 for long-term details). Coordination has been ongoing with the Metrolink extension studies (see also Project # 11 ). Benefits Enables development of expanded Metrolink Service, which will contribute to congestion relief on SR-91.

Coordination may be required with SR-55;SR-91 interchange Improvement Project tii I2. Modification or reconfiguration of the We Lakeview Avenue on -ramps may also be considered to improve weaving Issues to SR-55. Separating traffic is a potential solution to the Lakeview Avenue merge issue. Benefits Alleviates congestion on SR-91 INB by eliminating the lane drop at the truck scales and providing a continuous general purpose jGPj lane to SR-90. Alleviates congestion on SR-91 EB by eliminating the lane drop for northbound SR-55 at SR-91 by providing an auxiliary lane to Lakeview Avenue, and at SR-90 by providing a continuous GP lane to Weir Canyon Road. Current Status A PSR was completed in April 2004. The PA/ED phase is anticipated to commence in 2007. The project received 522M of CMIA funding and 574ki of other funds.

The project is planned to include space within the median for the planned 1-15 HOV direct connectors. Key Considerations Implementation of MIS Corridor A (Project #13) within the SR-91 median would involve the placement of columns (mainline and outriggers) and access from the SR-91 median to 1-15, both of which would require space within the SR-91 median in the Project #6 vicinity_ Therefore, the loss of lanes during Corridor A construction could be two to four lanes assuming that Corridor A occurred as a separate project after completion of construction for Project #f. While Project #5 accommodates a total of two 1-15 HOV direct connector lanes (Project #7). the four lanes for Corridor A at 1-15 would require space that will be occupied by SR-91 lanes. Project #6 improvements need to be coordinated with the Green River Road overcrossing replacement Project #1. In the future, restriping to non-standard lane and shoulder widths could be accomplished to gain a 6th lane in each direction if needed. Multiple SR-91 Implementation Plan projects will interface ,within the project limits. The approved Project Study Report (PSR) Alternative 4 includes a new direct connector flyover from EB SR-91 to NB SR.-71, modifications to the existing west to north and south to ;west connectors, and a CD road from Green River Road and EB SR-91 to EB SR-91 and NB SR-71. Alternative 3 includes an ultimate SR-71iSR-91 interchange concept with flyover connectors for all movements and the Green River Road CD road (see Alt. 4). Alternative 2 modifies the existing SR-71fSR-91 connectors, most notably the SR 9 1 east to SR-71 north connector which is improved from a radius of 115 feet to 150 feet. A separate RFP has been released for SR-711SR-91 improvements and will require close coordination with the other improvement elements of Project #6. The RCTC '10-Year Delivery Plan intends to extend the Express Lanes. ;which could be phased and would be one additional lane beyond the originally approved PSR scope. Further, the SR-241.ISR-91 direct connector (Project #10) will also require that additional Express Lanes lanes be extended between SR-241, potentially to SR-7'I, with a possible direct connection with SR-71. Provision for these direct connector lanes should be considered. Possible use of Design -Build will alloy: traffic use by 2015. The project adds approximately two lanes in each direction excluding CD roads and auxiliary lanes. Benefits Will reduce congestion by providing additional capacity from SR-241 to Pierce Street and by ehminating vaav ng conflicts on SR-91 at 1-1F.: and SR-71 by the use of CD roads.

Key Considerations Implementation of Major Investment Study (MIS) Corridor A (Project # 13 may supercede the need for the direct connector improvements if the connector was to be HOV only. Coordination will be required with the extension of Express Lanes on SR-91 and potential HOV HOT Lanes on 1-15 per RCTCS 10-Year Delivery Plan. Toll collection issues will need to be resolved. Project #6 will be constructed with right-of-way allowance in the SR-9 1 median for connector columns between 1-15 and Maple St to avoid outside widening on the SR-9I with this project_ The project could be considered as a component of Project #6, widening from SR-241 to 1-15. The need for a NB 1-15 HOV connector would require further study. Benefits Will reduce congestion by providing additional capacity and eliminating weaving conflicts on SR-91 and 1-1 , for direct HOV access, or would provide direct toll -to -toll connection between potential SR-9 i and 1-15 Express Lanes, Current Status This project is identified in the Riverside County Transportation Improvement Plan.

Replacement of the Tustin Avenue o•:ercrossing and widening of the Santa Ana River bridge is required for all alternatives. Benefits The project would reduce or enni pate operational problems and deficiencies on this section of WEI SR-9 I including weaving and merging maneuvers. This project would also address choke -point conditions, which are caused primarily by extensive weaving between the NB SR-55 to WB SR-91 connector and the 'NB Tustin Avenue off - ramp.

Two options are being considered as follows: OPTION 1- A new partial overcrossing at Fairmont Boulevard will provide northerly access for Yorba Linda. On- and off -ramps will connect Fairmont Boulevard to eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) SR-91. No connection is proposed southerly into Anaheim. OPTION 2 - A new partial overcrossing at Fairmont Boulevard will provide northerly access for Yorba Linda from the 9 I Express Lanes. Crop ramps on the east side of the overcrossing provide an entrance to the EB Express Lanes and an exit from the :'.B express lanes. No connection is proposed southehy into A.naheim. Key Considerations For Option 2, toll collection for the drop ramp, traffic impacts to SR-91 Express Lanes, and drop ramps on the nest side need to be considered. Coordination with SR-91 EB and WRB widening project #5 is recommended as it may need to be constructed first or designed to accommodate the future interchange ramps. Interchange spacing and weaving (to SR-55) issues need to be evaluated for both options. Widening of SR-91 is needed to accommodate Option 2 ramps. A consideration for Option 1 would be to include only WB on- and off -ramps. Proximity of the Santa Ana River may require that the le6 ramp junction for Option 1 be located north of the river. Benefits The interchange is expected to relieve congestion at SR-90, Lakeview Avenue, and Weir Canyon Road Interchanges. Additional accessibility with Option 2 is expected to increase utilization of the SR-9I Express Lanes and reduce congestion in the general purpose lanes. Modeling shows a 10-15% decrease in volumes at Weir Canyon and In -penal Highway interchanges with the Option 'I Fairmont Blvd interchange scenario.

OCTA, RCTC, and Ca!trans will be initiating preliminary planning activities on these projects to ensure readiness when local, state, or federal funding becomes available. Consequently, there may be opportunities to advance these projects if additional funding is made available. Projects for implementation by 2020 are expected to cost approximately $775 million (in 2007 dollars). • Project No. Project Summary Cost ($M) 10 SR-241/SR-91 HOWHOT Connector 11 Metrolink Service and Station Improvements 12 SR55/SR-91 Interchange Improvements SUBTOTAL 240 335 200 775 Figure 2-4 — Summary of Projects for Implementation By 2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 18 " " SR-241/SR-91 HOV/HOT Connector Project No: 10 Anticipated Completion: 2020 Project Cost Estimate Capital Cost S 177.800.000 Support Cost (25%) 5 44.400.000 RI'11/ Contingency (10%) S 17.800.000 Total Project Cast` $ 240.060X000 Project Schedule Conceptual Engineering Preliminary Engineering Environmental Design Construction 2007-2008 2013-2014 2014-2016 2016-2018 2018-2020 "Assumed as a 2-lane connector from SR-241 to SR-4 �%, ending near SR-71.

Implementation o; MIS Corridor A (Project #13) may supercede the need for the 1-10W1-I0T connector improvements Project #10 may become the west leg of Corridor A. The HOWHOT connector impact on SR-31 will depend upon whether the connectors are 4-lanes itoll-to-toll} or 2-lanes (HO'v). The impact of the connector on the Express Lanes may require the. connector fillies to be extended along SR-91 posaily to SR-71. which will require further evaluation. An optional project would include an extension of the HO.'!HOT connector to and from SR-71 Toll collection issues will need to he resolved. y1'ficening to accommodate the connector would impact the connectors to SR-71 and the lanes added by Project #6, including the potential extension of Express Lanes as currently proposed in RCTC's 10-Year Deliver Plan Costs are based on a 2 cane connector to SR-91 ending near SR-71 and will vary widely depending on the Frey considerations noted. Also, the project could be considered as a component of Project #6widening front SR-241 to 1-15. Realignment of EB lanes will be required. Improves access to SR-241 and South County for traffic tnat does not currently utilize SR-91 Express Lanes: which also improves SR-91 'dv'B by eliminating the need for toil users to weave across four general purpose lanes to use the existing SR-241 connector Alleviates congestion on SR-241 and EB SR-91 by allowing SR-241 toll andlor HOV users to bypass the general purpose EB SR-91 direct connector. Current Status Preliminary design concerns for a SR-2411SR-91 direct connector have Meer developed by TCA and Caltrans.

More trains are planned on the Inland Empire - Orange County (1E0C) line that currently runs between San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties as well as the '91 Line" that goes from the Inland Empire to Los Angeles via Orange County, paralleling State Route 91. Currently. 16 trains a day run on the IE0C line and nine trains on the 91 Line. The long-term expansion plan builds on service levels that will be implemented by 2010. The "2010" plan includes two additionat IEOC trains and four additional 91 Line trains for a total of 31 trains a day. The long-term plan adds another 10 IE0C trains and five 91 Line trains for a total of 46 [laity trains. This planned expansion is necessary, to accommodate population and employment growth in the region as well as make the current service more convenient. Capital improvements necessary for this expansion include a third track on sections of the rail line in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino; new crossovers at critical locations to alloy trains to pass one another; new storage tracks in San Bernardino; parking improvements at key stations; and purchase of engines and coaches to operate the new service. Key Considerations The capital program is estimated to cost 5335 million, and costs would be shared by the member agencies of SCRRA.

This mufti -billion dollar program (in 2007 dollars) includes three potential projects that require a significant amount of planning, design, and future policy and public input. These 2030 projects are identified as having significant environmental constraints and right of way requirements. The Corridor A project may incorporate projects being developed in the earlier programs to provide significant capacity enhancements; therefore, all of the earlier projects may not be implemented in addition to Corridor A. In addition to the Corridor A project are Corridor B, which was identified in the MIS, and the Anaheim to Ontario International Airport high speed rail project for the 2030 and post-2030 horizon period.

SR-71 and 1-15. The facility may include rnanaged lanes and potential reversible operations. Key Considerations Choice of alignment will be key to determining net capacity increase. Implementation of Corridor A may supercede the need for the direct connector improvement Projects #7 and #10. depending on the potential extension of the Express Lanes. Extensive right-of-way will be required to implement the improvements. If Project #6 is constructed and a 4-lane elevated facility is proposed within the median of SR-91 through Corona, extensive freeway lane closures would be required (thus reducing SR-9I capacity). Potential considerations for co -locating the Magle+ (see Project 015) adjacent to Corridor (and also SR-91) include providing a Ciao -column structure with a barrier between the trains and vehicles. Concepts for Corridor and Magler within the SR-91 median could complicate future opportunities for managed lanes within the SR-91 median, such as the extension of Express Lanes. The conceptual median viaduct study, completed after the MIS. shoos the median elevated Corridor with reduced SR-91 geometric standards to minimize WV. impacts. Also, direct connectors (such as for HOV at 1-15I5R-91) tolfrom the Median could be precluded by falaglev columns located within the same median area. Caftans and Magler highway R1W, maintenance, safety, and operations considerations would need to be analyzed if shared use with a Maglev facility were pursued. an 2 EB Lanes Shld y (MIS Corridor A) Cross -Section Benefits The project iuould provide significant congestion relief by allowing vehicles to bypass the at -grade freeway lanes and local arterial interchanges between SR-241 and I-15.

The facility may include managed lanes. The 4-lane facility would essentially be a continuation of SR-133 on the west end. and Mid County Parkway on the east end. Key Considerations Choice of alignment type will be key in determining the cost of implementation (nearly full-length tunnel, or other facility type with less tunneling). Determining groundwater levels will be key in determining alignments and allowable depths for the tunnel portions. Costs associated with Major Investment Stud; (MIS) Corridor B are shown for the nearly full-length tunnel option. Extensive right-of-way will be required to implement the improvements. Toll needs will also require further study. Benefits The project would provide significant congestion relief by providing an alternative route between Orange and Riverside Counties and would allow vehicles to bypass SR-91 between SR-241 and 1-15. The project would not disrupt SR-91 traffic during construction and would allow for additional route selection for incident management. emergency evacuation, and for continuity of the highway network by linking SR-133 and the Mid County Parkway. Current Status This project is identified in the Riverside County - Orange County MIS as part of the Locally Preferred Strategy to improve mobility between Riverside County and Grange County.

Leahy, Chief Executive Officer Subject: 91 Express. Lanes 2007 Customer Satisfaction Survey The 91 Express Lanes is a ten -mile toll road that operates between Orange and Riverside counties. The 91 Express Lanes currently has over 118,000 customers. Every year, a customer satisfaction survey is conducted to gauge and track customer usage, satisfaction, attitudes and awareness. This year's survey will be conducted in June 2007, with final results expected in summer 2007. In previous studies, a total of 400 telephone interviews were conducted. To identify any differences between frequent and infrequent users, this year's study will include a total of 600 telephone interviews to maintain high level of data precision. "Frequent user" is defined as a customer who travels on the 91 Express Lanes three trips or more per week. To compare data to the previous studies, the survey will include questions from the 2006 study. In addition, new questions related to some potential customer service features, as well as the Riverside County Transportation Commission's plan to extend the express lanes into Riverside will be included. Attachment A is the proposed survey methodology and questionnaire for review and comment. Please forward any suggestions you have to Stella Lin, Marketing Manager, by Monday, May 28, 2007. She is available at (714) 560-5342, or by email at slin@octa.net.
