Plans and Programs Committee Minutes March 26, 2007 Page 4 In response to Commissioner Ronald Oden`s questions regarding the Coachella. Valley grant, Robert Yates replied that the grant is in the amount of $75,000, which is an air quality mitigation grant that was offered through Riverside County. The goal is to attract 400 people in the Coachella Valley area to rideshare. It is a two-year demonstration project. Commissioner Oden expressed that he believes the prograrn will be effective, however the grant funding is very low for the effectiveness the program can have for the community. Robert Yates responded that in an effort to mitigate the administrative costs of the: program, the Commission has a ,$15,000 in -kind contribution that is guaranteed as part of the grant proposal. Additionally, staff is working with Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) to find an. appropriately sized facility to hold the kick-off meeting in order to reduce administrative costs to concentrate on delivering the maximum amount of incentives. Commissioner Oden expressed that he believes any of the cities would be cooperative. Commissioner Kelly stated that CVAG has purchased property that will work for rideshare parking. Commissioner Kelly expressed that he believes that the parking lot at the new Walmart in Palm Desert would be an ideal site in the interim and requested Commission staff work with CVAG and Walmart to discuss this opportunity. Helen Bermudez replied that Walmart has looked at . establishing a formal park and ride facility and has expressed liability concerns. Shewill contact the store manager in Palm Desert and work with him on an interim park and ride facility. Robert Yates replied that he will have the CAP look into this and work with CVAG and Walmart in Palm Desert. Commissioner Robin Lowe stated that Mobile Source Reduction Committee. (MSRC) will be awarding a grant to Santiago College for its implementation. of a rideshare program for its students. She recommended that staff contact Ray. Gorski at MSRC for additional information. She commended staff for its work on the proposal for the grant program and expanding the CAP.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2005, the Commission completed an evaluation of five potential commuter rail routes within Riverside County. The Western Riverside County Commuter Rail Feasibility Study recommended that two of the five routes be examined in greater detail as possible candidates for future public investment. Those two routes are: • an extension of the Perris Valley Line from south Perris at -215 eastbound through Hemet to San Jacinto; and • an extension of the Perris Valley Line from south Perris at 1-215 southbound along the 1-215 corridor to Temecula and Murrieta. In order to perform a follow-up study, Wilbur Smith Associates was retained; to. evaluate the potential of conventional commuter rail services on two other 1-15 corridors. These are: • Temecula north: between Temecula and points west (via Corona), including Los Angeles and Orange County work centers; and between Temecula and points east (via La Sierra), including Riverside and San Bernardino; and • Temecula south: between Temecula and San Diego. Agenda Item 8 The consultant team was also asked to explore the potential of implementing a commuter rail level of service on the proposed California High -Speed Rail (HSR) system between Temecula and San Diego. The study also quantifies the possible benefits of a Poway station as a destination for Temecula based commuters. Evaluation Criteria Each service alternative scenario is evaluated upon eight criteria that measure its feasibility to satisfy the goals of the study. The matrices developed to rank and compare each alternative are based upon the following Commission approved evaluation criteria: •. Ridership — Passenger Trips • Right -of -Way Issues Operating Cost Per Passenger - Mile Capital Cost (Track, Stations and Equip) • Farebox Recovery Ratio • Mobility Improvements Time Savings • Mobility Improvements Low Income Households • Capital Cost Per Passenger Daily Trip Access to In order to provide an objective assessment of the eight scenarios that result in , a clear explanation of the Study's recommendations, the evaluation . criteria was revised, discussed and agreed upon before any results were developed. The results of the evaluation are attached. Stakeholder Involvement As part of the study development process, an 1-15 Rail Feasibility Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was established to receive information from the consultant team and provide input on the evaluation criteria, data collection, and, ranking of the service extensions. The 1-15 Rail Feasibility TAC was open to both Riverside and San Diego County representatives of local governments; planning agencies, transit agencies, developers, Native Arnerican tribes, and ; social service groups. Several meetings were held at the Temecula City Hall to discuss various details of the project. Suggestions from the 1-15 Rail Feasibility TAC helped to develop the alternative of establishing a modified corridor that would go from Corona to Lake Elsinore as a more cost effective alternative than going all the way to Temecula. The consultant team incorporated this recommendation and included it as part of the analysis. The 1-15 Rail Feasibility TAC members were also able to provide input as to the viability of potential public private partnership opportunities for the routes studied.

That study, the RCTC Commuter Rail Feasibility Study, recommended that two of those five routes be , examined in greater detail as possible candidates for future public investment. Those two routes are 1) an extension of the Perris Valley Line from South Perris at 1-215 eastbound through Hemet to San Jacinto, and 2) an extension Perris Valley Line from South Perris at 1-215 southbound along the 1-215 corridor to Temecula and Murrieta. In order to perform a follow-up study, Wilbur Smith Associates was 'retained to evaluate the potential of conventional commuter rail services on ; two. other 1715 corridors. These are: • Temecula North between Temecula and points west (via Corona), including Los Angeles and Orange County work centers; and between Temecula and points east (via La Sierra), including Riverside and San Bernardino • Temecula South: between Temecula and San Diego. The consultant also was asked to explore the potential of implementing a commuter rail level of service on the proposed California High -Speed Rail (HSR) system between Temecula and San Diego. Currently, the Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is studying the ridership potential. of a statewide High Speed Rail (HSR). The MTC .effort is pursuant to the Program Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). developed for the California High -Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) in 2004 That report assessed the potential capital costs for building the HSR system, inclusive of a Los Angeles -Riverside -San Diego segment. The current ridership estimate assumes 49 daily trains between Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego, with 108,000 daily passenger trips, including peak :commute :period trips, within Southern California'. ' A region defined here as the jurisdictions _ of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). 13 DRAFT 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of conventional commuter rail services on twocorridors, one to the north of Temecula towards Corona along 1-15 and the other to the south. Regarding the former, this study looks at various' commuter rail alternatives operating between 1) Temecula and Los Angeles, 2) Temecula .and Orange County work centers, and 3) Temecula and San Bernardino. Regarding the latter, the study explores the conventional commuter rail potential between Temecula and San Diego. The study's purpose of exploring the use of the HSR system for commuter trips between Temecula and San Diego changed during the course of the study. This was a result ofa change in previous HSR assumptions, which currently call for a higher level of, service in the Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego segment: In all, 36 trainsare planned for the peak periods. This means there would be 18 in the morning peak period, of which 9 trains would be southbound. Such a high service ` level obviated the need to explore using of HSR as a commuter option, as clearly it would be one if HSR were implemented as envisioned. Accordingly, the study shifted to explore the intraregional ridership of six peak period "limited stop" HSR round trips and two mid -day round trips stopping at a conceptual Poway station at SR 56, in addition to the planned HSR stations. Regarding the Poway station, the study's presumption at the outset was that many Temecula area commuters would use the station as a destination. The Wilbur Smith Associates team was supported by Cambridge Systematics and Schiermeyer Consulting Services. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) consisting of city staff and transportation and planning agencies, Native American tribes and private developers — provided input and feedback on study findings. Service Options The conventional commuter rail service options studied are identified in Figure "Temecula North At the outset, the study team considered three potential commuter rail options running north from Temecula. All options assumed 16 weekday trains: six AM peak trains, six PM peak trains and four mid -day trains. Specific service cases included: 14 DRAFT 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study Figure 1 Study Routes Los Angeles N.

Existing Rail Lines San Bernardino Lake Elsinore 15 DRAFT I-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study • Case 1: half of trains operate between Temecula and Los Angeles, andthe other half operate between Temecula and Laguna Niguel; this is known as the Base Case. On the Corona -Temecula extension, new stations would be at Temecula, Bundy Canyon Road, Nichols Road and Temescal Canyon Road. • Case 2: all trains operate between Temecula and Laguna Niguel. New stations would be the same as in Case 1. • Case 3: all trains operate between Temecula and Los Angeles.: New stations would be the same as in Case 1. After subsequent consideration by the TAC and RCTC staff, five more service cases were added. These were: • Case 4: half of trains operate between Temecula and Los Angeles, and the other half operate between Temecula and Laguna Niguel. One additional new station is assumed at the Dos Lagos development just south of Corona. • Case 5: all trains operate between Temecula and Laguna Niguel. New stations would be the same as in Case 4, with Dos Lagos. • Case 6: all trains operate between Temecula and Los Angeles. New stations would be the same as in Case 4, with Dos Lagos. • Case 7: All trains operate between Temecula and San Bernardino. New stations would be the same as in Case 1, without Dos Lagos. • Case 8: All trains operate between Temecula and San Bernardino: New stations would be the same as in Case 4, with Dos Lagos. Temecula South The team considered just one conventional commuter rail service case running south from Temecula: 16 trains between Temecula and downtown San Diego, with stops at Escondido, Poway at SR 56, Mira Mesa, Old Town and the San Diego Depot, The evaluation of the Poway HSR station also assumed 16 HSR trains stopping there in 2030. Ridership Forecasts The first step in the analysis was to forecast the Year 2030 ridership for the eight conventional commuter rail service cases running north from Temecula, the one conventional commuter rail service case running south from Temecula, and the 16 " " D R A F T 1 - 1 5 C o m m u t e r R a i l F e a s i b i l i t y S t u d y , H S R l i m i t e d s t o p s e r v i c e c a s e w i t h a s t o p a t P o w a y .

Temecula South For a forecast of 2030 weekday passenger trips generated by a conventional commuter rail service operating between Temecula and San Diego, the study team used a statewide ridership and revenue forecasting model developed for the California High -Speed Rail Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. This statewide model was developed to support evaluation of high- speed rail alternatives in the State of California. It is a fully multimodal model capable of; forecasting air, commuter rail and highway alternatives as well as high- speed rail. Table 2 below shows the forecasts of weekday boarding's by station in 2030. Table 2 Temecula -South Commuter Rail Weekday Boardings in 2030 Temecula at I-15/1-215 974 Escondido 2.20 Poway at SR 56 279 Miramar 210 Old Town 548 Depot 860 Total 3,090 High -Speed Rail and a Poway Station The team also used the aforementioned HSR model to forecast the ridership of a limited stop HSR service between Temecula and San Diego. Just considering the ridership generated by the 16 limited stop HSR peak and mid -day trains at the study area stations, the forecast in Table 3 shows that the Poway station would have 242 average weekday boarding's in 2030. The majority of these trips would be made by high-speed rail riders who would be using a different station, if the Poway station did not exist. Thus, there is no significant increase in total riders with the inclusion of the Poway station. This is likely because high-speed rail serves longer distance trips more effectively, so the system does not need to have ; as many stations to be effective in serving these longer distance trips. . 18 DRAFT I-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study Table 3 Temecula -South HSR Weekday Boarding's In 2030, with a Poway Station Temecula 1,297 Escondido 411 Poway . 242 University City 340 San Diego 1,515 Total 3,805 It is important to note as well that a Poway station would serve a larger market than just trips to those stations cited in Table 3 as the limited .stop trains would also stop at other HSR stations in Southern, Central and Northern California. Accordingly, it appears that a Poway station would.. generate about 4,000 boarding's and alightings, or passenger trips, per weekday in 2030, most of which would have occurred at other stations if the Poway station was not built. Capital Costs With potential ridership ranges identified in Table 1, the study team began its analysis of more specific alternative routes and conceptual capital costs for the purpose of a comparative evaluation to identify the most cost effective option. These included two alternatives to limit the southward Temecula extension to Lake Elsinore in order to shorten line construction and thus minimize costs. Also the capital cost alternatives explore the potential of connecting to the 1-15 right-of-way at different locations. Furthermore, the alternatives oriented to the west assume Base Case operations: with half of trains operating to Los. Angeles and the other half operating to Laguna Niguel. Thus, the alternatives discussed below .represent a subset of the eight ridership service cases and explore different approaches to travel along the same general corridor, including various station options. Temecula North Capital costs at a conceptual level were developed for seven separate alternatives for commuter rail operations on Temecula -Corona Corridor. The costs are discussed below. The estimates reflect factors unique to each alternative. The alternatives considered are: 19. DRAFT 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study • Alternative A - From the junction with the BNSF Transcon at Porphyry .Wye just east of the North Main Corona Metrolink Station, this alternative is 35.3 miles long and runs the length of the corridor to Temecula. From north to south, the route would make use of the right-of-way of the former Atchison' Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe) branch line as far as the Alberhill residential development south of Lake Street in Lake Elsinore. It would then use a new right-of-way east of the development to reach Nichols Road, before entering the 1-15 right-of-way for its southward run to Temecula: The four new stations for this alternative would be at Temescal Canyon Road just east of the 1-15 over crossing, Nichols Road, Bundy Canyon Road and Temecula/Murrieta. Corona would serve as a transfer station for riders not carried directly to destinations by trains from Temecula. • Alternative B - This alternative is much the same as Alternative A. The major difference is that the rail alignment would enter the:1-15 right-of-way at Lake Street, about three miles north on 1-15 from. Nichols Road. The. length ofihe alignment and the stations would be the same. i; Alternative C - At 15.7 miles, this is a short alternative, with a southern terminus at Lake Street. There would be just two stations one at Temescal Canyon Road and the other at Lake Street; riders from points farther south in the 1-15 corridor could board trains at Lake Street. Alternative C would also be a less complicated alternative to build, since it would make use of what is left of the original Santa Fe right-of-way. This alternative would have much of the same ridership as Alternative A, except that the trips between the two southern most stations would be lost, as those stations would not be included in this shorter alternative. Alternative Cl This alternative is the same as Alternative C, with ,the addition of another new station at Dos Lagos. The additional station would result in a small increase in ridership versus to Alternative C. Alternative, D - This alternative is the same as Alternative A, with the addition of another new station at Dos Lagos. • Alternative E - This alternative assumed that all six trains depart Temecula in the morning peak and terminate in San Bernardino, ratherthan in Los Angeles, Laguna Niguel, or both. Thus, it assumed the reestablishment of the east leg of the Porphyry Wye, connecting the existing BNSF branch line with the Transcon, and the relocation of railcar storage tracks which lie across where the east leg used to be. The alternative runs 35.3 miles.

Since this station would not address any commuter needs from Temecula, further examination of a Poway HSI1 station does not appear merited at this time. Evaluation The 2005 commuter rail study utilized nine criteria to evaluate five commuter "rail` service options. The same evaluation criteria are used for this study, so as to produce an apples -to -apples comparison of the options. Alternatives A, C, C 1 and G are evaluated per the nine criteria, which are shown in Table 6 on the following page. In the table, the feasibility of an alternative .per a specific criterion is summarily assessed with a "Harvey 'Ball". That is, .the fuller the Harvey Ball, the more feasible the performance. Eight of the evaluation criteria were quantitative, that is, a numerical result could be determined for each alternative per each criterion. One was qualitative; meaning that the evaluation of the alternatives per this criterion were subjective, .this is based on the professional judgment of the consulting team. The criteria are described below. For this evaluation, Alternatives A, C and C 1 assume extension trains running to both Los Angeles and Laguna Niguel, as was assumed in the ridership Service Case 1 (the Base Case). • Daily Passenger Trips in 2030: this is a measure of the ridership generated. by the commuter rail services. The purpose of public transit is to attract riders. Therefore, options that generate more riders score better by this measure. Alternative G is clearly superior in this regard. • Daily Passenger Trips per Train in 2030: this is a measure of capacity utilization. Options which put more riders on trains score better on this." measure than those that put less. Again, Alternative G is clearly superior: by this measure. 24 " D R A F T 1 4 5 C o m m u t e r R a i l F e a s i b i l i t y S t u d y ' T a b l e 6 S c r e e n i n g a n d A p p l i c a t i o n o f E v a l u a t i o n C r i t e r i a - C o m m u t e r S e r v i c e . , ' 4 y . ^ ' " a . . - - : 4 " ������r , . ��a ? e c ` . ` . : r - ��y . ����F . �� ��r k ' �� ' " F r r S r ' h i e ^ . , _ �� ) 5 " . , c f z " , y f . - . , i < o R . - - - : �� ' ' " 4 x R - . < f 3 + , - . i , r h . . , r l l < . i , " ( S ��: : a , . , < : f i x . . . s i . . < < r . ��s ' Y F . ��. . , 5 " . . . r i d . . < . , < ��c ` . 1 , . ; f r S t �� ��- n ��K , r 0 y ����v s , ��. . r . } . _ . r d " ���� . . ��` ' ��, i r . 7 ��s u " . a .

L e s s F e a s i b l e Q 2 5 DRAFT 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study • Fare Box Recovery Ratio: this is a measure of the proportion of operating costs covered by fare revenue'. This is a traditional measure of cost effectiveness used by transit services. Just for the options that are part of the Metrolink system (A, C and C 1), only the operating costs of running north to North Main Corona are counted for this calculation. The calculation for Alternative G is the traditional fare box recovery calculation: total revenues are divided by total operating costs. Even so, its performance is superior to those of Alternatives A, C and Cl, which consider only partial operating costs. The result is due to more riders, who in sum generate more revenue andthus cover more operating costs. • Right -of --Way issue: This is the sole qualitative criterion, meant to capture the degree of difficulty for RCTC to implement passenger rail service in the study corridors or to gain access in existing rights=of way. All four alternatives face major implementation and access issues. For example, A, C and Cl presuppose acquisition of the former Santa Fe right-of-way between Lake Elsinore and south Corona (inclusive of a portion now covered by a golf course) as well as access to the BNSF. Alternatives A and G assume access to the I 15 right-of-way for rail service. Thus, all alternatives appear equal by this measure. Mobility Improvements — Daily Trip Time Savings: This is the measure of time saved by traveling on trains versus driving on area highways, most of which will be plagued with peak period congestion in 2030. Travel time is calculated on a daily (weekday) basis. Minutes saved between points are multiplied by the ridership betweenthe same points, generating total daily savings in 2030. In this regard,: the Temecula North alternatives generate more than twice the hours saved as does the Temecula South alternative. Of the . Temecula North options, Alternative A scores the best, a result of carrying more, riders farther. • Mobility Improvements — Access to Low Income Households: This is measured by reference to income levels of residents located in catchment areas within five miles of proposed stations. Here Alternative G, the Temecula South option, scores best. • Operating Cost per Passenger -Mile: This criterion captures the estimated operating cost required to carry a passenger one mile.. 3 Operating costs were estimated by multiplying train -miles by the $41.31 per train -mile figure used in the 2005 commuter rail study. The cost figure was developed by Metrolink. Revenue was estimate by multiplying Metrolink-like fares by passenger -miles, just as was done in the 2005 study. 26 " D R A F T I - 1 5 C o m m u t e r R a i l F e a s i b i l i t y S t u d y H o w e v e r , f o r t h e T e m e c u l a N o r t h o p t i o n s ( A l t e r n a t i v e s A , C a n d C 1 ) . , o p e r a t i n g c o s t s o n l y i n c l u d e t h e c o s t o f o p e r a t i n g n o r t h t o C o r o n a .

Accordingly, unless implementation costs could be reduced, this study recommends that these two alternatives do not progress toward further analysis. Also because of their high implementation costs, Alternatives A and G are not recommended for further analysis at this time. As demographics and population trends change for specific areas, the feasibility of these routes could be re-evaluated in the future. Public Private Partnership It is worth noting that RCTC has been approached by Local developers to explore the potential of public private partnerships concerning new commuter rail services on the I-15 corridor. A . concept to lower overall capital costs for Alternatives C and C1 (Lake Elsinore options) would be potential public -private partnerships, where private developers help fund or donate right of way and contribute to the overall capital costs. One such concept could reduceimplementation costs for Alternative Cl by $1 13.2 million — assuming that developers provide or fund the right-of-way requirements, the stations, and contribute $-50 million to rolling stock requirements. This approach would make the service more cost efficient and could increase the viability of the project. 28 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study: Corona -Temecula and Temecula -San Diego 2005 Feasibility Study VENTURA COUNTY *Ventura METROLINK LINES Ventura County Line Antelope Valley Line San Bemardino Line Riverside Line Orange County Lino Inland Empire!Orange County Line 91 Line (Riverside, Fullerton, Downtown LA) * Future Perris Valley Extension SERVICE ALTERNATIVES Lancaster LOS ANGELES COUNTY Los Angeles Union Station 1.

FY 2007/08 through FY 2009/10 SRTP and action plan; 3) Approve Riverside Transit Agency's (RTA) request for a Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) waiver on operating cost per revenue hour thereby resetting it's target to .$76.54; 4) Approve the FY 2007/08 Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Section 5307 and 5311 Program of Projects (POP) for Riverside County; 5) Conduct a. public hearing at the July 11, 2007 Commission :meeting on the proposed Section 5307 POP as shown on Attachment.1; 6) Direct staff to add projects into the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan. (RTIP); 7) Approve the FY 2007/08 LTF and State Transit Assistance (STA) .fund allocations for transit as shown in Attachment 2; 8) Approve budget increases to LTF expenditures of $626,200 and to STA expenditures of $474,800; 9) Adopt Resolution No. 08-002, "Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation- Commission to Allocate State Transit Assistance Funds"; and 10) Forward to the Commission for final action. Agenda, Item 9 29 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the June 13, 2007 Commission meeting, the FY 2007/08 through FY 2009/10 SRTPs were approved for the city of Banning, city of Riverside Special Services;,; SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) and the Commission's Regional Commuter Rail Program. The SRTP for RTA was approved in concept pending the receipt ;o f additional information regarding RTA's request for a PIP waiver on operating cost per revenue hour. The SRTPs cover the county's three apportionment areas and outline the planned operating and capital expenditures for a three-year period; Actual operating -and capital fund allocations are requested for only year one of the three-year plan. As the transportation planning ggency (TPA), the Commission is responsible for planning transit services, allocation of transit funds and operator: oversight/fiduciary responsibilities. The approved SRTPs provide the basis for the oversight activities. The SRTPs for Beaumont, Corona and PVVTA were not approved at the June 13t`' Commission meeting due to non-compliance with the Commission's approved PIP program for FY 2006/07. At that time, staff was directed to work with the transit operators to jointly develop an action plan to meet the Commission approved PIP. Since that time, Corona and PVVTA have submitted their agency's action plans which Commission staff believes will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their transit services. The SRTPs and action plans for Corona and PVVTA are:, attached. Currently, at this time, Beaumont has not submitted its action plan and as a result, its SRTP has not been presented to the Commission for review and approval. Pending receipt of this information, staff recommends that interim funding be provided for up to a three-month period so that transit services will continue without interruption. If approved, it is recommended that the interim funding be based on the FY 2006/07 allocation, which was $1,080,000. The interim monthly allocation :would be $90,000 for a total not to exceed $270,000 Commission staff will continue to work with Beaumont's management to assist with completion of both the SRTP and the action plan. RTA's FY 2007/08 through FY 2009/10 SRTP was approved in concept pending further analysis of its request for a PIP waiver on operating cost per revenue hour over and above the Consumer Price Index of 5%. The waiver requested reflects a 0.77% (or $0.58 per revenue hour) increase over the above target. After reviewing the additional data from RTA, Commission staff is requesting that RTA's FY 2007/08 operating cost per revenue hour target be reset to $76.54. In an effort to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of transit services, the PIP program together with TransTrack - the web based performance software monitoring system - were fully implemented during FY 2006/07 While Commission staff believes that both systems will continue to assist with monitoring transit performance through real time data analysis, there is a learning Agenda Item 9 30 " c u r v e a s s o c i a t e d w i t h t h e n e w p r o g r a m i m p l e m e n t a t i o n .

A g e n d a I t e m 9 3 3 Section 5311 Formula and Discretionary Funds The Section 5311 Rural Transit Assistance program available through the FTA. provides federal operating assistance funds for rural transit operators. These funds; are administered by Caltrans and the majority of the funds are passed through to counties based on a population formula. The remaining funds, if sufficient to justify a call for projects, are awarded in a statewide discretionary program by Caltrans for rural capital projects and intercity bus programs. Transit operators in counties where formula funds are fully programmed submit projects for, discretionary funding to Caltrans. In order for grants to be' approved, the Commission must develop and approve a Section 5311 POP. This year's program was prepared using the FY 2006/07 funding level for transit operations. As with the Section 5307 program, the actual apportionments will not be known until later this calendar -year when final appropriations are made by Congress. By programming at what may be a higher level of funding, the operators will be able to apply for maximum funding and avoid delays and additional work to amend programs and grants. The proposed program allocates the estimated $683,931 in formula funds for Riverside County in FY 2007/08 to RTA at 61.7 % and SunLine at 38.3 % 1 The 61.7%/38.3% formula was approved by the Commission in 1987 and was based on the level of service each agency operated in the non -urbanized areas of the county. In FY 2002/03, Commission staff discussed the formulawith staff` from RTA and SunLine to determine if the formula was still applicable. Both agencies agreed that the formula should remain at the current percentage splits The following is the proposed FY 2007/08 Section 5311 Program of Projects: Section '5311 Formula Funds County - 100% Federal Funds Available $659,942 FY 2006/07 Estimated Carry Over $23,989 COUNTY WIDE TOTAL: $683,931 RTA - 61.7% - SunLine - 38.3% , $407,1.84 $252,758 $14,801 ' $9.188 $421,985 $261,946. Both RTA and SunLine identified the use of Section 5311 formula funds for operating during FY 2007/08. Should additional funds be identified, available funds will be carried over and available for programming in FY 2008/09. - Transportation Development Act Funding The TDA provides two major sources of funding for public transportation. The first, LTF, provides for a %4 cent of the 71A % state retail sales tax collected in each county. The state Board of Equalization returns the sales tax revenues to the Agenda Item 9 34 county of Riverside where it is held until the Commission provides written allocation instructions for disbursement. For FY 2007/08, it is estimated that LTF revenue for transit services will be $73,078,9922 STA funding is the second source of TDA funds. STA funds are generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel (gasoline and diesel). The STA funds are appropriated to the state controller for allocation by formula to each Transportation Planning Agency. The Commission is responsible for the allocation of these funds for Riverside County. The formula allocates 50% of the funds on the basis of the region's population compared to. the State's population (STA 99313 Funds). The remaining 50% is allocated according to the prior year proportion of the region's transit operator passenger fare and local support revenues (STA 99314 Funds). According to the state controller's office, the amount of. STA funds projected to be received in Riverside County for FY 2007/08 is $23,262,930 ($s20,612,392 is 99313 discretionary funds and $ 2, 650, 538 is 99314 non -discretionary operator funds). Prior to approving the STA allocations, the Commission must adopt the attached resolution as specified in the TDA statutes, California Code of Regulations. In order for the public transit operators to claim LTF and/or STA funds for operating and capital purposes, the Commission must allocate funds to support the transit services and capital projects contained in the FY 2007/08 SRTP. The requested allocations are consistent with the approved SRTPs and the funds are explicitly for the projects as stated in the approved plans. Attachment 2 outlines the specific operators' requested TDA allocations for FY 2007/08. Staff recommends the approval of the TDA and FTA. funds as presented. As in previous years; any modifications in fare box revenues, federal' ° grants, Measure A funding, or carry over funds may require operators to revise their services to operate within the funding limitations. Fiscal Impact The FY 2007/08 budget adopted at the June 13, 2007 Commission meeting included $65,403,600 in LTF transit operating expenditures, $5,498,700 in LTF capital expenditures and $7, 548, 500 in STA capital expenditures. Two budget adjustments totaling $626,200 for LTF expenditures and one budget adjustment for $474,800 are required based on these recommended allocations. 2 Of the $73,078,992 LTF amount, $7,307,900,has been set aside as reserve funds based on Commission approved policy.

INTRODUCTION The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) evaluates current transit system performance, projected demographic changes, capital and operating funding needs, likely funding from federal, state and local sources, and other factors to create a reasonable projection of conditions over the next three years. System Overview The City of Corona operates a general public demand responsive Dial -A -Ride (DAR) service designed to provide curb to curb transportation for area residents and a fixed route system `Corona Cruiser.' Corona Cruiser operates along two routes, Blue Line and Red Line within City limits (Exhibit A). As of January 1, 2006, City of Corona population is estimated at 148,345 and the area within the Cityboundary measures 39.1 square miles. DAR Service Area serves a population of 160,000 within 40.53 square miles area that includes City of Corona and the adjacent unincorporated Riverside County areas of Home Gardens, El Cerrito, and Coronita, and popular satellite destination points in City of Norco (Exhibit B). The City has operated the DAR service since April 1977. Corona Cruiser fixed route service began on February 5, 2001. Service has been operated by private contractor since its inception. Services During the first nine months of FY2006-07 the City's transit system experienced a two percent (2%) drop in total ridership compared to previous FY2005-06. However, planned ridership is expected to increase from projected ridership of 203,500 in FY2006-07 to 210,000 in FY 2007-08.

SERVICE RELATED ISSUES Fixed Route `Corona Cruiser' On -Time Performance In the past, the most frequently cited service -related issue identified by Corona Cruiser riders, was the fixed route's systemi on -time performance. However, on - time performance in FY 2005=06 was 97.926/0 and for the first eight months of FY 06-07on-time has been maintained at or above 986/0. Corona Dial -A -Ride Dispatching/Scheduling Application In a continuous effort to improve DAR operations, reservations, and maximize the efficiency of available resources; the City procured new dispatching and . scheduling software application developed by RouteMatch Software, Inc. This application was fully implemented in June 2006. Corona Dial -A -Ride — Transition Training Program To address declining fixed route ridership, the Transition Training Program will be further enhanced. Staff will conduct outreach campaigns at community events, busy shopping centers, Metrolink stations, etc. to increase public awareness of the convenience of the fixed route bus system as compared to DAR service. Currently, DAR patrons are routinely encouraged to take advantage of the fixed route system as being reliable and convenient way to get around the City at half the cost of DAR service, without the necessity of making advance DAR reservations. Systemwide Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL)/Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) Digital Onboard Video Surveillance/Recording System New transit technologies were fully deployed in June 2006. The AVL/MDT and Onboard Video Surveillance/Recording System equipment was installed in all 14 transit vehicles. As a part of the AVL/MDC implementation program, an interface ; was developed to make real time wireless communication between the vehicles and the new dispatching and scheduling software possible.

The Dial -a -Ride service operates Monday -Friday from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm. Unincorporated communities served include Ripley and Mesa Verde. PVVTA provides three deviated fixed routes in the Palo Verde Valley which serve Blythe, Mesa Verde; Palo Verde College, California Department of Corrections facilities. and limited service to Ehrenberg, Arizona and Ripley. ADA Para -transit is also provided after hours on the Fixed Routes through the route deviation service. The routes can deviate up to 3/4 of a mile . away from the actual route. The service hours for the Fixed Route system are; Monday - Thursday ,frorn 5:40 am to 10:30 pm (possible reduction of evening service in FY 2008/See Gold Route 2, page 18 for more details); Friday, from 5:40 am to 7:35 pm; and 8:00 gm to 5:30 pm on Saturday, Sunday and limited holidays. Weekend service in generalis carefully being analyzed for cost versus productivity implications. Weekend ridership is generally about 50% of what the routes carry for Monday through Friday. if the weekend ridership falls below 40% compared to Monday - Friday, staff would approach the Board of Directors. about: service discontinuation. Finally, Desert RoadTRIP provides transportation reimbursement to individuals unable to access PVVTA Dial -a -Ride or Fixed Route services. PVVTA services are known to the general public under the :marketing name "Desert Roadrunner'. The PVVTA's transit services are provided under contract to Transportation Concepts of Irvine, California. Transportation Concepts has been providing transit service for PVVTA since October of 2003. PVVTA also has an agreement with the Partnership to Preserve Independent Living for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities to administer the Transportation Reimbursement and Information Project (Desert RoadTRIP) that has been in place since .July 1, 1995. Fare Structure PVVTA's fare structure is sensitive to the local economy while attempting to maintain the: mandated 10% Farebox Recovery Ratio. The schedule includes full fare and discounted ride tickets. PVVTA implemented a modest fare increase on July 1, 2004, in conjunction with the elimination of transfers and the implementation of long term passes for convenience to the frequent rider. In fiscal year 2005/06, PVVTA eliminated some of the long term passes that were being under-utilized and reinstated the 20 ride passes that were eliminated in the prior year. PVVTA will not propose a fare increase in fiscal year 2007/08, but will analyze the fare structure and propose a fare increase in FY 2008/09 if necessary, in order to maintain the; Farebox Recovery Ratio. Prior to any proposed increases, PVVTA would hold a ;.public hearing in order to receive public input. 4 72 • �� F A R E S T R U C T U R E " 5 F I S C A L Y E A R 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8 L o c a l F i x e d R o u t e s i n t h e P a l o V e r d e V a l l e y ( R o u t e s 1 & 2 ) .

T 8 3 ALTERNATIVE FUELED VEHICLES PVVTA in partnership with the City of Blythe and County of Riverside, is looking to construct a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) facility. AB2766 grant funding has been awarded to the City of Blythe in the amount of approximately $375,000, for the construction of this, CNG fueling station. In Fiscal Year 2005/06, PVVTA budgeted $25,000 for this project and in' Fiscal Year 2007/08 is budgeting $255,587 toward construction of the project. The City of 'Blythe Redevelopment Agency and the County of Riverside will also contribute $100,000 each, therefore, making available $855,587 to construct a CNG commercial quality fueling station. Staff believes the project could ultimately cost $1 million, but will move forward towards construction on an incremental basis. In order to start and help with the process . of. constructing a CNG fueling station, Mohave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) hired a consulting firm by the name of Gladstein, Nandross & Associates to help the City find potential sites for the fueling station. Once a site has been identified, staff will continue to move forward with this project. 16 84 BLUE ROUTE 1 • CITY CIRCULATOR SERVICE WITHIN THE CITY OF BLYTHE • Blue Route 1 serves the growing community of Blythe providing riders access to many civic, educational and county sponsored public social service offices within the City of Blythe.

DIAL -A -RIDE DESERT ROADRUNNER DIAL -A-RIDE Desert Roadrunner Dial -A -Ride provides demand responsive service within the City of Blythe and surrounding unincorporated county areas such as Mesa Verde, Chuckawalla Valley State Prison, Ironwood State Prison and Ripley. Desert Roadrunner Dial -A -Rid_ e goes from as far north as 2nd Avenue, to as far south as 28th Avenue, to as far west as Ironwood; State Prison, to as far east as the Colorado River. Seniors (age 60 years old and older), persons with disabilities and ADA eligible passengers -are eligible for dial -a -ride throughout the entire service area. These categories of passengers also are required to fill out certification application to determine eligibility of service. 'Once certified, a card is issued to the applicant. General public passengers (ages 5-59 years old) are eligible for Dial -A -Ride service imareas where there is no fixed route service (basically outside 3/, of a mile from the fixed route). Desert Roadrunner Dial -A -Ride operates from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday -Friday with no service on Saturday and Sunday. No service is provided on New Years Day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, :Veterans Day., Thanksgiving Day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Same day reservations are allowed, if a passenger calls at least two hours in advance. Reservations could be made from one to seven days in advance. RECOMMENDATIONS 2008 Staff is recommending reduced service to -and -from Ripley (26 mile round trip). Due to low ridership, consideration will be given to opening up the Dial -A -Ride for general public, with priority for ADA and Seniors. Staff will analyze the cost of providing the service and the ridership, sometime during the first quarter of FY 2008 and make a recornmendation to the Board. 2009-2010 Performance will dictate if further changes are necessary. 20 88 Desert RoadTRIP TRANSPORTATION REMBURSEMENT PROGRAM PVVTA's Desert RoadTRIP program currently provides reimbursement to individuals who do not have access to local transportation.

Include an allocation of City staff and mechanic in the Full-time Equivalent count. Action(s) Taken And Results (1) Staff has already approached Student Services at Palo Verde College to make a Student Pass along with the ASB Card Staff will continue on building .that relationship with PVC: City staff and the mechanic position have not been included in the State Controller's Report as part of the Full -time -Equivalent count, but will be counted in all future reports. Consider charging a different fare for general public Dial -A -Ride from the senior/disabled fare. Staff will analyze and consider this option. This may be a way to keep the Dial -A -Ride. service into Ripley on Monday through Friday. Work with the Contractor to include in the monthly operations report performance data that show "Year -to -Date, as well as "Same Month One Year Ago", information. This information should be shared with the Agency's Board on a regular basis. PWTA should coordinate with the transit contractor and CHP to schedule regular inspections, due about the same time each year. These reports will be added in Fiscal Year 2007/08 and presented to the Agency's Board as well. All this data is currently tracked and available. to staff, but a report will have to be formatted in order to present it to the Board. (1) If no action taken, provide schedule for im'ple The transit contractor currently schedules the CHP inspections and does so around the same time each year. The problem is that the CHP has a nine month back log due to the size of the district and priority to the border zones. Blythe Scales, Winterhaven Scales, Calexico Border, Yuma Border, and all agriculture businesses are in this district, therefore, the back log and difficulty in scheduling a regular inspection. mentation or explanation of why the Aiv[tsfdlt tam Trcrsaprluliaa Cbnanias?aa Data Elements Table 7 -- Service Provider Performance Targets Report FY 2007/08 Short Range Transit Plan Review Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency FY 2007/08 Plan FY 2007/08 Target Unlinked Passenger Trips 52,772 Passenger Miles 192,983 Total 'Actual Vehicle Revenue Hours 13,255.0 Total Actual Vehicle Revenue Miles 192,983.0 Total Actual Vehicle Miles 204,251.0 Total Operating Expenses $873,489 Total Passenger Fare Revenue $89,000 Net Operating Expenses $784,489 Performance indicators Mandatory; 1.

NOT meet the following Discretionary PIP targets for FY 06/07; Passengers per Revenue Hour, Passengers per Revenue Mile, Subsidy per Passenger Mile and Subsidy per Passenger. The Agency currently meets only two of the required three Discretionary Performance Indicators. a .. In planning for the FY 07/08 SRTP three of these PIP targets may be corrected by the cut of unproductive service. There will be .projected reduction of 80 service hours and 600 re venue miles monthly from unproductive fixed route service. Also, there will be limited trips to outlaying areas with a shift of 20 service hours redirected to local group trip scheduling resulting in a reduction of 300 revenue miles monthly. These changes would be demonstrated in the first quarter of FY07/08 As for the Subsidy per Passenger, Agency staff will study the feasibility to increasing General Public fare on the Dial -A -Ride and/or incorporate zone fares into the current fare schedule in calendar year 2008. Also, in reviewing expenditures, it was noted that June expenditures are always significantly • higher than the other months and that is due to expenditures being accrued in one month and paid in the following month. At year end (June) all invoices pertaining to the fiscal year must be paid in June, therefore, the expenditure total for that month is almost double. Our PIP targets are calculated on data for the first three quarters of the fiscal year, which in this case would not be reflected accurately due to the higher expense in the fourth quarter. In order to correct this problem so that PIP targets are calculated correctly, staff will track the expenditures closely and adjust the expenditures so that they are charged out in the proper month, and therefore, reflecting more accurate numbers. With this correction, the calculation of our PIP Targets should now be more realistic and accurate.

Also, the Commission's subsidy remains cost-effective compared to the typical public transit subsidy rate of 80%. While the monthly cost of each buspool varies according to the number of route miles and the resulting negotiated service price, the Commission's monthly subsidy reflects a subsidy rate of 16%. Average IVlonthly Buspool Fare Per Rider $215.00 RCTC Subsidy Per Seat $35.00 16% Unlike some ;of the other Commission approved ridesharing incentives, which have a limited term, the buspool subsidy is on -going. To renew its annual subsidy, an existing buspool is required to: • 'Request in writing, continuation of funding from the Commmission for the new fiscal year; 'Consistently meet minimum ridership requirements; and Submit monthly ridership reports throughout the year. The three existing buspools have completed all the requirements for funding as set forth by the Commission including the submittal of monthly ridership reports and annualfunding continuation requests. They have consistently exceeded ` the minimum ridership level of 25 riders per month and have collectively averaged 40 riders/month/buspool this current FY.

The buspool subsidy proves to be an effective use of Measure A commuter assistance funds and a budget of $ 130,000 is proposed for FY 2007/08. Based on the established monthly $1, 645/month per buspool subsidy policy, the funds will support the continuation of the three existing buspools plus two new start-up buspools.
