BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The city of Perris and city of Moreno Valley currently have two projects programmed in the RTIP that will widen Perris Blvd from 2 to 6 through lanes between Ramona Expwy and Cactus Ave. The projects are currently programmed in the RTIP in an unusual fashion due to one portion that was once STIP funded. The projects will be re -programmed in the RTIP to reflect the project limits properly within each city. The Perris widening segment will widen Perris Blvd from 2 to 6 through lanes from Ramona Expressway north to the city limits. Moreno Valley's widening segment from 2 to 6 through lanes will be from their southerly city limits north to Cactus Ave. Approximately .25% of the $3.184 million of STPL for the overall Perris Blvd widening falls within Moreno Valley. However, Moreno Valley does not intend to federalize their widening segment and will back -fill the $796,000 with local funds for their segment. Per an agreement reached between the two agencies, Moreno Valley is requesting the $796,000 of STPL be. reprogrammed to their Nason St IC project. Proposed Perri:0N Widenink z t0 14!)40 es�4,110 The TAC action for this item is to consider reprogramming Moreno Valley's STPL portion to their SR60/Nason St IC improvement project which is federalized and already has STPL programmed for the project RCTC staff supports Moreno Valley's proposed $796,000 STPL. reprogramming action to the SR60/Nason St IC based on Perris and Moreno Valley's agreement to split the STPL funds.

ID RIV011205 - Perris Boulevard Rehabilitation from Ramona Expressway to Perrin Valley Storm Drain Lateral "A" and Project ID RIV041044 Perris Boulevard Widening from Ramona Expressway to Cactus Avenue (TUMF Project 5106) Dear Ms. Medina: As discussed during the September 5, 2007 meeting between the City of Moreno Valley (COMV), City of Perris (COP), and Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), COMV props that certain programming changes be made to the following projects: Project ID RIV011205: In Moreno Valley/Perris — Widen Perris Blvd 2 to 4 Lanes from Ramona Expressway to Perris Valley Storm Drain - Lateral `A' (Approx. 2 Miles) This joint project currently has $3.184 million of STPL funds programmed, with COP as the lead agency. To date, a PES has been completed and approved. Due to recent development -driven improvements in COMV, approximately 25% of the project work remains to be done within COMV City Limits. In order to deliver the project more of iciently, COMV and COP propose to modify the limits such that the project title would read: In Perris — Widen Perris Blvd 2 to 6 Lanes from Ramona Expressway to Penis Valley Storm Drain Lateral "B" (Approx. 1 Miley This restructuring of the project limits allows COP to solely manage the project and to construct ultimate width improvements within COP s jurisdictional boundaries. COMV requests that $796,000 (25% of the $3.184 million) be transferred to the following project: At SRBO / Nason StIC - Modify. l Reconstruct IC & Mason St from Elder to Fir: Realign ES, WB Exit plus EB & WB Entry Ramps, Add EB & WB Ramp Oct 04 2007 6:01PM City of Moreno Valley 951-413-3170 p.3 Letter to Shirley Medina October 4, 2007 Page 2 HOV Lns, 8 Add Aux Lanes (EA 32300). This. project is currently in the right of way phase, with 95% PS & E completed to date. This project already has federal funds and estimated construction costs have significantly increased; consequently, the additional $796,000would greatly assist in the completion the interchange. $2.388 rnillion (75% of the $3.184 million) would remain with: COP for the widening of Perris Boulevard from Ramona Expressway to Perris Valley Storm : Drain Lateral "Bp, which is fully located within COP city limits_ COP proposes to couple the STPL funds with TUMF and local funds to widen Perris Boulevard to its ultimate street width. This is further explained below. Project ID RIV041044 to Moreno Valley: Widen Perris Blvd 4 to 6 Lns (Ramona Expwy to PVSD-Lat A) & 2 to 6 Lns (PVSD-Lat A to Cactus Ave) including Curb, Gutter, Sidewalks,, Signals, & Medians (TUMF Project 5106) The existing agreement between COMV and RCTC allocates $389,000 and $871,000 of TUMF funds for the PA&ED and PS&E phases, respectively, for this joint. project. In order to deliver the project more efficiently, COMV and COP propose to modify the limits such that the project title would read: in Moreno Valley:.VViden Perris Blvd 4 to 6. Lns (PVSD Lat:B to PVSD=Lat A) 8 2 to 6 Lns (PVSD Lat_A to Cactus Ave) including Curb, Gutter, Sidewalks, Signals, & Medians. This restructuring .of the project limits allows COP and COMV to solely manage the project within their own jurisdictional' boundaries. The existing programmed project length is 4.5 miles, with. 1 mile located in COP and 3.5 .miles located in COMV. The proposed fund split would be based on this :ratio: 1 / 4.5 (22.22%) of the TUMF funds to COP and 3.5 / 4.5 (77.78%) of the TUMF funds to COW. In summary, two projects would remain. The first, located in COP (with COP as the lead agency), widens Perris Boulevard from Ramona Expressway to Perris Valley Storm Drain Lateral -"B" (COP/COMV city limits) from 2 to 6 lanes (ultimate width) and is funded by STPL, TUMF, and local funds. The second, located in COMV (with COMV as the lead agency), widens Perris Boulevard frorn Perris Valley Storm Drain Lateral "B" (COP/COMV city limits) to. Cactus Avenue from 2 or 4 to 6 lanes (ultimate width) and is funded by TUMF and local funds. The end result is that between the two projects, Perris Boulevard would be widened to its ultimate .width from Ramona Expressway (in COP) to Cactus Avenue (in COMV), Because the two agencies would do their utmost to coordinate the scheduling of these two contiguous projects, which both construct Perris Boulevard to its ultimate width, Logical Termini and Independent Utility should not be a .concern. As mentioned earlier, a° third project, the SR-60/Iason Street interchange, located in GOMV, is also furthered by the proposed additional infusion of STPL funds. The enclosed "redline" Project Report form for Project ID RIV041044 has; already been faxed to RCTC to help effectuate the requested reprogramming. COP recently provided Oct 04 2007..6:01PM Cites of Moreno Valley 951-413-3170 p.4 Letter to Shirley Medina October 4, 2007 Page 3 RCTC with the redline Project Report form for Project ID RIV011205, All requested revisions have been coordinated between the two agencies.

Moreno Valley to change the lead agency role and limits of the above projects. The City of Perris is in support of Moreno Valley's request to approve separation of the two projects as follows: • City of Perris will receive 75% of the currently allocated STPL funds to implement the improvements on Perris Blvd. as originally approved with the change of limits from Ramona Expressway to northerly city limit. The City of Perris's share is calculated to be $2.388 Million. • The City of Perris requests that the Regional TUMF Grant for widening of Perris Blvd. is separated between the two cities with Perris receiving it's share . of the allocated RCTC funds on the basis of mileage which is 22.22% of the total length. The City's share of PA86ED and PSBaE phase is 86,435 and $193,536 respectively. I understand that an agreement between City of Perris. and RCTC will be required to formalize this. We trust that the above information is sufficient for RCTC to initiate the review and the approval process. Please call if you have any questions or require additional information.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The impact of delays caused by the freight trains traveling through Riverside County is rapidly becoming one of the area's most pressing .transportation concerns. In 2003, 68 million tons of rail freight passed through Riverside County with less than five percent of that total either originating or ending locally. The impact of freight rail growth has led to numerous quality of life concerns in a number of communities that are faced with traffic delays, disruptions to public safety and emergency responses and an increase in harmful emissions. Funding and subsequently constructingrail road grade separations has become an important transportation priority for Riverside County. In an on -going effort to support much needed grade separations, Commission staff developed the attached Grade Separation Funding Summary together with an excel spreadsheet to relate' specifically to the actions approved by the Commission over the last 30 months. Because three of the funding sources Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement, the 2009 Measure A Economic Development funds and the Surface Transportation Program — are subject to a "use it or lose it" provision, it is anticipated that over the next few months, Commission staff will be developing a policy for review by Technical Advisory Committee.

" 1 Earmark: Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act A Legacy for Users $31.25 Million Approved ($10.25 Million Available; $21 Million Awarded. Funds available for construction only) Projects with Congressional support — especially with support from a member of an appropriations committee might receive earmarks in the annual federalappropriations bill. Under SAFETEA-LU, a total of $125 million in earmarks was made available; of that amount, the Commission was allocated $31,250,000. Currently, $21 million has been allocated. To be eligible for the remaining $10.25 million, projects must be on the Commission approved priority list and must be "shelf ready2". The monies will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis. Measure A (2009) — Economic Development Program- $10 Million Approved ($10 Million Available Beginning FY 2009/10; $0 Awarded. Funds available for construction only) Measure A is a half -cent Focal retail transaction and use tax that was initially. approved by the voters in November 1988 for 20 years (Ordinance 88-1) and extended in November 2002 for an additional 30 years (Ordinance 02-001), through June 2039 ;to help fund key transportation improvements in Riverside County. The program includes. a new: category of funding: Economic Development Incentives with an allocation of $40 million over the 30-year life of the Measure. Existing grade separation projects located in a commercial and industrial development in Western Riverside County are eligible ,to compete in this category. In April 2007, the Commission approved an off the top of 1'0% (approximately $10 million) of Economic Development funds for grade separation projects. A "use it or lose it" provision will apply to these funds. Surface Transportation Program (STP) - $30 Million Approved ($30 Million Available Beginning FY 2009/10; $0 Awarded. $5 Million per Project; Funds available for construction only) STP is a flexible; federal funding source that is .apportioned based on, a federal formula. Funds are allocated by the Commission and administered by Caltrans. Current matching rate is 88.5313/0 federal and 11.47% local. In April 2007, the Commission approved an earmark of 25% (approximately $30 million) of CMAQ funds from the next transportation bill (anticipated after 2009). STP funds are subject to a "use it or lose it" provision. 2 Shelf ready defined as environmental document approved and final design completed..

During the recent RTIP Workshops, questions have emerged about the need for project exhibits for capacity enhancing and grade separation projects. Their purpose is intended to help ensure the project is correctly -modeled and reinforce the modeling details that will be stated on the new Project Sheet. RCTC also has been engaged in a multi -year discussion with FHWH over several gray modeling areas that have impacted the. NEPA sign -off process. A review and clarification of six modeling scope areas was submitted to SCAG and discussed among SLAG, the County Transportation Commissions, Ca!trans HQ, and FHWA on September 25th. The result of the discussion provided clarification of the following modeling scope elements: 1. Gap closure projects: a. Question: If a capacity enhancing project is a gap closure and the gap is only a small distance, can the gap closure be considered an exempt project? b. Answer: No. Regardless of the distance, if the project adds through lanes, it is a capacity enhancing project and requires regional air conformity modeling even if the limits before and .after the project limits are already widened. 2. Mainline auxiliary lanes: - a. Questions: i. If an aux lane is considered only an operational improvement, why 'must it be modeled? ii. Can a uniform definition be established? b.. Answers: i. The Conformity Rule does not exempt an auxiliary lane on the Mainline. Therefore, it must be considered capacity enhancing and requires regional air conformity modeling. ii. The basic definition for a mainline aux lane is a lane that is addedto the outside of the mainline, begins at the end of the entry ramp of one IC and terminates at the exit ramp of the next IC plus does .not go through the next IC. If the distance between the two ICs is a mile or greater, then the added lane is now a through lane and should be called out in the RTIP description as such. If the lane goes through the next IC, the lane is no longer an aux lane, but is now a through lane. 3.:IC ramp acceleration/deceleration lanes (or extended ramp lanes): a. Questions. is What is the difference between an acceleration/deceleration lane and an aux lane? ii. Are acceleration/deceleration lanes required to be modeled? b. Answers: i. An acceleration lane extends the entry ramp, but. terminates at the " mainline :before the next exit ramp and does not 'connect into the exit ramp. The acceleration lane should not exceed .'/ mile. A deceleration lane ° begins off the mainline and does not connect with the previous IC's entry ramp lane. The deceleration lane ,provides an extension for the IC exit ramp and should not exceed a '/ mile in distance. If the acceleration or deceleration lane exceeds a '/ mile, then they should be considered an aux lane and modeled. • " " i i .

Proposition 111 established a process for each metropolitan county in California to designate a Congestion Management Agency (CMA) that would be responsible for development and implementation of the CMP within county boundaries. The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) was designated as the CMA in 1990, and therefore, prepares the CMP updates in consultation with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which consists of local agencies, the County of Riverside, transit agencies, and subregional agencies. CMP legislation is provided in Appendix 1. The intent of the CMP is to more directly link land use, transportation, and air quality, thereby prompting reasonable growth management programs that will effectively utilize new transportation funds, alleviate traffic congestion and related impacts, and improve air quality. A number of counties within California have developed a CMP with varying methods and strategies to meet the intent of the CMP legislation. The Riverside County CMP was significantly modified in 1997 to focus on federal Congestion Management System (CMS) requirements as well as incorporate elements of the State CMP requirements. The 1997 CMP also focused on development of an Enhanced Traffic Monitoring System in which real-time traffic count data can be accessed by RCTC to evaluate the condition of the CMS, as well as meet other monitoring requirements at the State and federal levels. This monitoring effort was completed in 2004, which consisted of installing Smart Call Boxes (traffic counters in Call Box equipment) and traffic counters at Caltrans' Traffic Management Center (TMC) sites along the State Highway system. Monitoring of the CMP system on local arterials will continue to occur through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments' (CVAG) monitoring program and through local agency monitoring efforts in Western Riverside County. RCTC's adopted minimum Level of Service (LOS) threshold is LOS "E". Therefore, when a CMP street or highway segment falls to "F", a deficiency plan must be required. Preparation of a deficiency plan will be the responsibility of the local agency where the deficiency is located. Other agencies identified as contributors to the deficiency will also be required to coordinate with the development of the plan. The plan must contain mitigation measures, including consideration of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and transit alternatives, and a schedule for mitigating the deficiency. To insure that the CMP is appropriately monitored to reduce the occurrence of LOS deficiencies, it is the responsibility of local agencies, when reviewing and approving development proposals, to consider the traffic impacts on the CMP System. When a deficiency is identified as part of the CMP Update LOS evaluation process, further Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies ES-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program detailed analysis of LOS must be conducted to determine whether an actual deficiency has occurred. The LOS analysis conducted as part of the CMP Update process is only considered to be a "screening" level analysis, therefore additional, more detailed assessment of a potential deficiency would be required before a deficiency is formally identified. Coordination with the affected local jurisdiction(s) will be made to insure that appropriate data, geometrics, counts and other related information is applied to calculate LOS. During preparation of the 2007 CMP, deficiencies were found on the CMP System based upon this year's monitoring effort. These segments will continue to be monitored to determine if the deficiencies reflect temporary or permanent conditions. If it is determined that deficiencies are permanent and not related to construction activities on the segment or anywhere else that could impact the segment or any other special circumstances a deficiency plan will be required to address the deficiency. OTHER PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS This document is prepared to address each elements the State CMP legislation and federal CMS requirements. Below is a summary of each chapter highlighting the Riverside County CMP's approach in meeting the State CMP and federal CMS requirements. Chapter 9 - Designation of the CMP Lead Agency: ♦ The County Board of Supervisors, and a majority of cities representing a majority of population in the incorporated area, must designate by resolution, a public agency to prepare and adopt the Congestion Management Program. The Riverside County Transportation Commission was designated as the CMA for Riverside County on June 11, 1990. The County Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population supported the designation. Chapter 2 - Designation of the System of Highways and Roadways: ♦ The CMA must designate a system of highways and roadways to include, at a minimum, all state highways and principal arterials. RCTC has designated, based upon a set of optional criteria referenced in Chapter 2, a system of Highways and Principal Arterials. All State highways within Riverside County have been included in accordance with CMP statutes, and a set of Principal Arterials has been identified (reference Exhibit 2-1 and Table 2-1). Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies ES-2 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program Chapter 3 - Transportation Modeling: • The CMA is to provide a uniform database of traffic impacts "for use in a countywide transportation computer model." For purposes of this Program, the Commission has recognized use of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Transportation Model, the Coachella Valley Area Transportation System (CVATS) sub -regional transportation model, and local agency models to analyze traffic impacts associated with development proposals or land use plans. Chapter 4 - Multimodal System Performance Standards: ♦ AB 1963 identifies requirements in CMP legislation including development of multimodal system performance standards focusing on street and highway level of service and transit standards. This Chapter therefore incorporates minimum standards for both these important forms of transportation. CMP Street and Highway Standards The methodology for measuring LOS must be that contained in Circular 212 or the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM); and traffic standards must be set no lower than LOS "E" for any segment or intersection on the CMP system, unless the current LOS is lower ff. a, "F'). For purposes of this CMP, LOS analysis for intersections and segments along the CMP System of Highways and Roadways, under current or existing conditions, is required to be developed using HCM-based methods. Considering the transportation financing program in Riverside County established through Measure A, there are no advantages to set a higher minimum LOS standard than required by CMP legislation, LOS "E". As a result, the minimum LOS standard for intersections and segments along the CMP System of Highways and Roadways shall be "E" unless the intersection or segment had a lower LOS (LOS "F") in 1991 (reference Table 4-1 and Exhibit 4-1). Such facilities are exempt from CMP deficiency plan requirements. Public Transit/Alternative Mass Transit System Standards Transit standards must be established for service frequency (Le., headways), routing, and coordination among multiple transit agencies operating within the CMP jurisdiction. To meet the requirements of the Statutes, the performance measures outlined in the Short Range Transit Plans prepared by transit agencies in Riverside County are included in this chapter. In 2005, RCTC approved a Productivity Improvement Program as part of a comprehensive effort to work with the county's eight public transit operators to provide better service and improve efficiency and serves as performance targets in which transit operators will strive to meet in developing its SRTP service and financial plan. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies ES-3 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program Chapter 5 — Enhanced Transportation System Management Program: ♦ The CMP must include a program to analyze the impact of land use decisions by jurisdictions on the regional transportation system, including an estimate of costs to mitigate those impacts. This element describes the traffic data collection process to assess land use decision impacts on the Congestion Management System. Under the program, RCTC, CVAG and Caltrans would be the agencies in Riverside County responsible for the traffic count data collection process. The count data can also be applied to comply with State and federal Congestion Management Plan/Congestion Management System/Transportation Management System (CMP/CMS/TMS) data collection requirements. CVAG currently has a Traffic Monitoring Program in place that addresses CMP System Monitoring requirements in the Coachella Valley. RCTC has implemented the Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Program using Smart Call Box (SCB) and Caltrans' Traffic Management Center (TMC) equipment at selected sites along the State Highway system in Riverside County. This system has resulted in significant increases in the number and location of traffic counts along the CMP System. Chapter 6 - LOS Deficiency Plans: ♦ AB 471 and AB 1791 provide for the development of deficiency plans. The bills state that "a city or county may designate individual segments or intersections as deficient when they do not meet the established level of service standards, if prior to the designation at a noticed public hearing, the city or county has adopted a deficiency plan". Deficient segments or intersections will be identified through the biennial traffic monitoring process. When a deficiency is identified as part of the CMP Update LOS evaluation process, further detailed analysis of LOS shall be conducted to determine whether an actual deficiency has occurred. The LOS analysis conducted as part of the CMP Update process is only considered to be a "screening" level analysis, therefore additional, more detailed assessment of a potential deficiency would be required before a deficiency is formally identified. Coordination with the affected local jurisdiction(s) will be made to insure that appropriate data, geometrics, counts and other related information is applied to calculate LOS. The local agency where the deficiency is located will be responsible for the preparation of the deficiency plan. RCTC will prepare deficiency plans on the State Highway System when deficiencies are identified and will coordinate the development of the deficiency plan with affected local jurisdictions. Chapter 7 - Transportation Demand Management (TDM)/Air Quality: ♦ The CMP must include alternatives to single occupant auto use, such as transit, and van and carpooling; and must promote strategies to manage overall travel demand, such as a jobs/housing balance, flextime, telecommuting and parking strategies. Local agencies must also adopt a transportation demand management (TDM) ordinance to comply with CMP statutes. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies ES-4 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program RCTC will continue to work with local agencies toward development of transportation demand management (TDM) strategies that reduce reliance on the single -occupant vehicle. All local agencies in Riverside County have prepared and have adopted TDM ordinances. Chapter 8 - Capital Improvement Program (CIP): ♦ The CIP is a 7-year program; projects in the CiP may be incorporated into the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for the programming of Flexible Congestion Relief (FCR) and Urban and Commuter Rail funds; OP Projects must maintain or improve performance of the multi -modal system; and projects must conform to transportation -related emission air quality mitigation measures. To comply with the statutes, the 2007 CIP incorporates all CMP System projects listed in the most recent TIP including STIP, Measure "A", Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF), and other federally funded projects. To streamline this process, CIP requirements shall be the same as, and accomplished through the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) development. Chapter 9 - CMP Conformance and Monitoring Process: ♦ RCTC must make a determination that its member cities and the county are conforming to the CMP, including consistency with traffic LOS and transit performance standards; adoption and implementation of a trip reduction and travel demand ordinance, and adoption and implementation of a program to analyze land use impacts on the transportation system. SCAG must also find the CMP consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan. The specific requirements of Conformance and Monitoring Process are described in Chapter 9. Chapter 90 - CMP Development and Implementation Update Process: ♦ This chapter focuses on the procedural, administrative, and coordination activities related to CMP development, adoption, and update in accordance with CMP legislation. The CMP includes a process that addresses each of the activities identified above including CMP development, adoption, and update. Environmental Assessment — The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) identifies the CMP as an exempt project. As a result, compliance with CEQA requirements is no longer necessary. Prepared for Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies ES-5 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 1 DESIGNATION OF THE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AGENCY STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS According to CMP legislation (AB 471, AB 1791, AB 1963, and AB 2419), the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and a majority of cities representing a majority of the population in the incorporated area, must designate by resolution, a public agency to prepare and adopt a Congestion Management Program (CMP). The Congestion Management Agency (CMA) has the authority to monitor the County's and each affected city's' compliance with the adopted program. An amendment to the Government Code requires the CMA to update and adopt the CMP every two years (biennially) consistent with development of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). A copy of AB 2419 is provided as Appendix 1. A key feature of AB 471 is the requirement that every urbanized county with a population of 50,000 or more must prepare and adopt a comprehensive CMP. The CMP represents a directive for local governments to measure and mitigate the impact of land use decisions on streets, highways, and regional transportation systems. In 1996, the State of California amended the CMP legislation to change the requirement from mandatory to voluntary. However, federal Metropolitan Planning provisions require Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) serving a transportation management area (TMA) (i.e. area with a population over 200,000) to include a Congestion Management System (CMS) component as part of their transportation planning process. Each of the six counties in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region has adopted and implemented a CMP. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) jointly determine if the MPO's planning process meets the requirements of 23 U.S.C. 134 among other provisions. In the event that the FHWA/FTA determines that the planning process in a TMA does not substantially meet the requirements and do not certify the process, they may withhold project and funding approvals. RCTC DESIGNATED AS THE CMA On June 11, 1990, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) was designated as the CMA for Riverside County by resolution from member agencies. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) also supported the designation. It is the Commission's intent to continue working closely with WRCOG, CVAG, the cities and the County, toward development and implementation of an effective CMP. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 1-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program The Commission will continue to develop and biennially update the CMP to coincide with the development of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) in cooperation with local governments, Air Quality Management Districts, and subregional planning agencies (WRCOG and CVAG). The CMP must also be submitted to the MPO, which for Riverside County is the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is responsible for determining consistency of each CMP within the SCAG region with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and air quality management plans. The Riverside County Congestion Management Program combines the requirements of the State's CMP and the federal CMS with a greater emphasis on the CMS, resulting in an enhanced transportation monitoring system. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 1-2 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 2 DESIGNATION OF THE CMP SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089(a), referenced in AB 1963, requires development of a Congestion Management Program (CMP) to establish traffic level of service (LOS) standards for a system of highways and roadways designated by RCTC as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA). This system must include, at a minimum, all state highways and principal arterials, both new and existing facilities. Once designated, components of the system cannot be removed. Designated System of Highways and Principal Arterials: ♦ All State Highway facilities in Riverside County. Consideration may be given to the following conditions when designating Principal Arterials: ✓ Routes identified on Caltrans' "Functional Classification System" maps as "Principal Arterials"; ✓ Designated expressways; and ✓ Facilities linking cities/communities (interregional facilities), and major activity centers (shopping malls, activity centers, major industrial/business parks, stadiums, etc). 2007 CMP SYSTEM UPDATE PROCESS An update to the CMP System considers the optional criteria identified above, including arterial facilities added to the Federal Functional Classification System. Local agencies may nominate arterials for inclusion on the CMP System at any time. Nominated arterials will be reviewed by the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for approval and forwarded to the RCTC Board for final approval. Exhibit 2-1 provides a graphic display of the CMP System of Highways and Roadways in Riverside County. Based upon review of the revised Functional Classification System and the considerations listed above, additional facilities were not designated as principal arterials during the 2007 CMP update process.

Further, RCTC, in consultation with SCAG, must approve transportation computer models that will be used by local jurisdictions and the county to determine the quantitative impacts of development on the circulation system. Local transportation models shall be consistent with the databases used by SCAG. RCTC TRANSPORTATION MODELING Transportation computer models applied in Riverside County include the Coachella Valley Area Transportation System (CVATS) Model and the SCAG Regional Transportation Model. Updates, expansions, and enhancements of these transportation models are done by the respective agencies. During 2004, SCAG and CVAG prepared updates to the SCAG and CVATS models based upon results of a trip origin and destination (O&D) survey completed in 2001 and I new growth forecasts developed for the Year 2030. Local transportation models are also developed by local agencies to determine impacts on their transportation system. TRANSPORTATION MODEL IMPROVEMENTS The SCAG model was last calibrated/validated (revised/updated) in 2004 and has been available for use by local agencies in reviewing regionally significant development projects, or projects that generate greater than 500 peak hour trips through the Intergovernmental Review (IGR) process. In addition, the SCAG model was revised to update the trip tables, socioeconomic data estimates and projections, and results of the SCAG O&D Study. The CVATS model was also revised in 2004 to reflect the updated information. In addition, SCAG developed a regionwide demographic database system to collect accurate data for development of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Because this information is required for a number of other applications, WRCOG and CVAG have taken lead roles in the development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) to monitor growth in the County so that socioeconomic and land use databases can be easily developed and maintained. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 3-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program SCAG has developed model consistency guidelines to assist public agencies and traffic engineering professionals with the development of local models that are consistent with the SCAG regional transportation model. The objective of these guidelines is to comply with CMP consistency requirements, improve communications between affected agencies to simplify the exchange of data, and improve databases and modeling results at both the local and regional level. A copy of the current Consistency Guidelines for ' Transportation Modeling - Riverside and San Bernardino Counties is available at RCTC or at the SCAG Inland Empire Office in Riverside. In 2004, the County of Riverside updated its General Plan. As part of this update, planning for land use, transportation corridors, and multi -species habitat conservation was incorporated into a process known as the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP). This planning effort included new land use plans, as well as improved processes for tracking land use changes. The updated information from the RCIP has been incorporated into the transportation models. MODELING FOR CMP PURPOSES During implementation of the Riverside County CMP, transportation computer models are used for several purposes, including: ♦ Determining and monitoring traffic levels of service (LOS) for the current and future years; ♦ Analyzing the impacts of land use decisions resulting from the IGR or CEQA processes and when an LOS deficiency occurs along the CMP System; and ♦ Evaluating and prioritizing transportation improvement projects, such as capital projects, transit projects, Transportation Systems Management (TSM) projects, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, and other programs that improve the transportation system and air quality. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 3-2 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 4 MULTIMODAL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089(b)(2) of the Government Code states that the Congestion Management Program (CMP) must contain a performance element that includes performance measures to evaluate current and future multimodal system performance for the movement of people and goods. At a minimum, the performance measures must incorporate highway and roadway system performance and measures established for the frequency and routing of public transit, and for the coordination of transit service provided by separate operators. The performance measures must also support mobility, air quality, land use, and economic objectives, and must be used in the development of the Riverside County Capital Improvement Program (CIP) required pursuant to paragraph (5), deficiency plans required pursuant to Section 65089.4, and the land use analysis program required pursuant to paragraph (4) of the Government Code. According to AB 471 and AB 1791, traffic level of service (LOS) must be measured by: a) Circular 212; b) the most recent version of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM); or c) by an alternative uniform methodology adopted by RCTC as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA), which the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) determines is consistent with the HCM. In no case can the standards established be below LOS "E" or the current level, whichever is farthest from LOS RCTC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS This Chapter describes the multimodal system performance standards for Riverside County in accordance with CMP legislation. Therefore, standards are presented in this Chapter for the CMP System of Streets and Roads and for the Public Transit/Alternative Mass Transit System. CMP System of Streets and Highways ♦ Established Minimum Level of Service With the intent of the legislation in mind, the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) CMP Subcommittee approved a "two -tiered" approach to establish the minimum LOS standard. Tier 1 involves the 'locally established minimum traffic LOS - or - ceiling,"while Tier 2 involves the CMP minimum LOS standard - or - "floor." Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 4-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program Most local agencies in Riverside County and Ca[trans have adopted LOS standards of "C" or "D" (representing the "ceiling" in Tier 2) in an effort to maintain a desired LOS for the local circulation system. To address CMP legislative requirements, and establish a minimum LOS along the regional system of roadways and highways within the County (representing the "floor" in Tier 2), RCTC approved a minimum traffic LOS standard of "E." ♦ Exempt Facilities Table 4-1 and Exhibit 4-1 identify facilities (roadway segments or intersections) along the CMP System of Highways and Roadways that had a LOS of "F" in 1991. As a result, these facilities continue to be "exempt' from CMP requirements in accordance with CMP Statutes. Methodology to Determine Level of Service RCTC determined that the traffic LOS method that incorporated a "delay" analysis was the most applicable for CMP purposes. Consideration of delay through HCM-based software programs provided a closer approximation of LOS than under the Circular 212 or similar methodologies. For purposes of this Program, LOS analysis for intersections and segments along the CMP System of Highways and Roadways (under current or existing conditions), should be developed or established using the following HCM-based methods in the order presented: 1. Segment (freeway and principal arterial) floating car runs or stopped delay LOS analysis at intersections; 2. Segment and intersection LOS analysis using HCM; and 3. Segment analysis using the Modified HCM LOS Tables (or revised Florida LOS Tables). Staff continues to recommend the use of HCM methods through applicable software packages applied to various types of facilities (reference Table 4-2 -- LOS Methodology Applications). Appropriate defaults to be applied by local agencies in their analysis of LOS are referenced in Appendix 2. Staff has also applied results from floating car runs to determine levels of service along selected congested freeway and arterial segments in Riverside County. HCM-based methodologies applied to calculate LOS for CMP purposes will be the responsibility of local agencies as new development or land use plan revisions/updates (reflective of specific development proposals) are considered. This process shall be consistent with the Enhanced Transportation System Management Program described in Chapter 5.

Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 4-7 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program The initial LOS analysis conducted as part of the CMP Update process is considered to be a "screening" level analysis. A more detailed assessment is conducted on key critical segments. If the analysis results in LOS deficiencies, the LOS analysis would continue on a quarterly basis to determine the average peak hour LOS and determine if the LOS deficiencies are due to temporary or permanent conditions. In some cases, floating car runs are necessary to establish accurate LOS. The floating car runs are also conducted on a quarterly basis. Coordination with the affected local agency(s) is critical to insure that appropriate data, geometrics, counts and other related information is applied to calculate LOS. ♦ 2007 Level of Service (LOS) Results ✓ Coachella Valley The Coachella Valley Associated Governments (CVAG) has implemented a valleywide traffic monitoring program for a number of years. Information provided by CVAG indicated that there are no deficiencies in the Coachella Valley for 2007. ✓ Western Riverside County Based on level of service calculations along the CMP system in Western Riverside County using Caltrans and local agency counts, two deficiencies were identified along local streets and highways along the CMP system; one along Alessandro between SR 91 and 1-215; and one along Van Buren Blvd east of SR 91. Discussion regarding this deficiency is provided in Chapter 5. There were no other deficiencies along the remainder of the local street and highway CMP System in Western Riverside County for 2007. ✓ State Highways Traffic count information was collected from the Caltrans 2006 Traffic Monitoring Report and from existing Smart Call Boxes located along the State Highway system. In addition, peak hour traffic counts were taken by VRPA Technologies in late spring and early summer 2007, the data was evaluated by VRPA Technologies using HCM-based LOS tables. Following review of the initial screening results by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in 2006, floating car runs were performed along three major State Highway segments on a quarterly basis in 2006 and 2007. Results of this process are provided in Chapter 5 and indicate that two (2) of the segments on 1-215 (Alessandro to SR 74 and SR 79, 1-15 to SR 74) are operating at LOS "E" or better and therefore not deficient; and that two (2) segments along 1-15 (San Bernardino County Line to 1-215 and 1-215, SR 60 to Alessandro) are operating at LOS "F" likely due to existing construction activities. One (1) additional segment on 1-15 (1-215 to SR 79 South) is Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 4-8 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program operating at LOS "F" but will likely be improved to LOS "E" or better once construction of the French Valley Interchange is initiated and completed. One (1) segment on 1-215 (SR 74 West to 1-15) is operating at LOS "F", and likely not due to construction activities. This segment has been evaluated on a quarterly basis in 2006 and 2007. Since the segment has remained deficient throughout the monitoring period, the next step will be to prepare a deficiency plan for the segment. RCTC is the lead agency for the widening project on 1-215 from the 1-15/1-215 Junction to Nuevo Road. The project will consist of adding a mixed flow lane and is currently in the preliminary engineering phase. Construction of the widening project will commence in fiscal year 2010/2011. RCTC will prepare the deficiency plan for the 1-215 segment identifying the widening project as the mitigation measure for the deficiency. In addition to those segments operating at LOS "F", it will also be important to closely monitor critical LOS "E" segments on a quarterly basis. Once a LOS "E" segment falls to LOS "F" during the quarterly monitoring process, the segment will be further analyzed as to what the cause may be. If the LOS is at "F" for more than one (1) year and is the average annual peak hour condition with no extenuating circumstances causing the deficiency (e.g., construction, special event, etc), the local agency will be notified to prepare a deficiency plan in accordance to Chapter 6. Public Transit/Alternative Mass Transit Standards ♦ Statutory Requirements Section 65089.(b)(2) of the Government Code specifically requires development of standards established for the frequency and routing of public transit, and for the coordination of transit service provided by separate operators. ♦ Public Transit and Alternative Mass Transit Facility Standards RCTC, as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency, is responsible for planning and coordinating all public mass transit services within the jurisdiction of the Commission and between the jurisdiction of other county commissions or transit operators. On an annual basis, transit operators prepare a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP), which is a three-year document detailing the operating and capital costs that are planned for transit services. Each operator adopts such a plan and then provides quarterly data to RCTC regarding performance. Once the SRTPs are approved by RCTC, transit operators are charged with the responsibility for providing the service levels and purchasing the capital equipment identified in year -one of the SRTP. Once approved by RCTC, the SRTPs must be amended if an operator wants to deviate from the original plan. The Commission encourages all operators to coordinate public transportation Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 4-9 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program services including routes, fare structure and transfer agreements as the overall goal is the improvement of public transportation services to the general public. To assist with the coordination efforts, quarterly meetings are held with the public transit operators to ensure that efficient, effective transportation services are provided. Public Utilities Code Section 99244 requires the Commission to annually identify, analyze and recommend potential productivity improvements for transit operators through the SRTP process. This process requires the transit operators to address recommendations made through the triennial performance audit. In 2005, the Commission reaffirmed its commitment to a Productivity Improvement Program (PIP), which was originally adopted in 1998 as part of a comprehensive effort to work with the county's eight public transit operators to provide better service and improve efficiency. Table 4-3 details the performance targets as identified in the PIP that transit operators will strive to meet in developing its SRTP service and financial plan: TABLE 4-3 TRANSIT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Performance Indicator Method for Establishing Performance Targets 1) Operating Cost per Revenue Hour Increases no more than CPI 2) Fare Box Recovery Ratio Per PUC requirements and RCTC policy 3) Subsidy per Passenger +/- 15% variance 4) Subsidy per Passenger Mile +/- 15% variance 5) Subsidy per Revenue Hour +/- 15% variance 6) Subsidy per Revenue Mile +/- 15% variance 7) Passengers per Revenue Hour +/- 15% variance 8) Passengers per Revenue Mile +/- 15% variance 9) Ridership growth 2% minimum growth annually (Applies to Commuter Rail) As an alternative mode to the single -occupant vehicle, mass transit services (commuter rail services) should be considered during the assessment of local development proposals that affect the Congestion Management System and during the development of deficiency plans by local agencies. Further, future rail passenger services should be considered as appropriate mitigation measures to offset potential deficiencies. If feasible, future transit and passenger rail facility systems should be described as potential services that could reduce vehicle trips and relieve congestion at or above the minimum LOS standard. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 4-10 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program RCTC CONFORMANCE AND MONITORING PROCESS It is the local agency's responsibility to ensure implementation of development project mitigation measures identified by the project proponent. RCTC and local agencies will monitor the implementation of deficiency plans that include transit and roadway improvements intended to improve traffic LOS. If through the biennial traffic monitoring process, the LOS along a deficient arterial or highway facility improves to LOS "E" or better, mitigation measures that have not been implemented as specified in the deficiency plan, would no longer be required for CMP compliance purposes. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 4-11 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 5 ENHANCED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROGRAM STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089 (b)(4) of the Govemment Code requires that RCTC develop a program to analyze the impacts of land use decisions made by local jurisdictions on regional transportation systems, including an estimate of the costs associated with mitigating those impacts. In no case must the program outlined in this Chapter include an estimate of the costs of mitigating the impacts of interregional travel, but it must provide credit for local public and private contributions to improvements on regional transportation systems. In the case of toll road facilities, credit must only be allowed for local public and private contributions, which are unreimbursed from toll revenues or other state or federal sources. RCTC must calculate the amount of the credit to be provided. RCTC ENHANCED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The RCTC CMP Enhanced Transportation System Management Program was designed to meet the federal Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) and Congestion Management System/Traffic Management System (CMS/TMS) requirements, as well as to monitor the CMP System of Highways and Roadways. A review of Federal CMS/TMS requirements is provided in Appendix 3. The intent of the Enhanced Transportation System Management Program is to effectively identify those facilities that have congestion problems, track the degree of congestion, and apply evaluation criteria to the system so that federal and State funds are targeted or programmed to relieve the congestion. The Enhanced Transportation System Management Program utilizes "loop or pavement sensors" currently installed along the State Highway system at call boxes and TMC sites. Traffic counters were installed at these sites allowing RCTC and Ca[trans to retrieve count data. Future plans are to retrieve speed, vehicle classification, and turning movement data. The Enhanced Transportation System Management Program will improve traffic monitoring for the CMP and other planning or technical purposes.

A level of service analysis will be performed to determine the condition of the CMP System. When a deficiency or LOS "F" is identified as part of the CMP Update LOS evaluation process, further detailed analysis of LOS shall be conducted to determine whether an actual deficiency has occurred. The best approach to determine LOS along freeway segments is through the use of floating car runs on a quarterly basis. A number of floating car runs have been conducted under the direction of VRPA Technologies in 2006 and 2007. Results of these runs are provided in Chapter 4. Local Arterials The program involves the continuation of the CVAG Traffic Monitoring Program in the Coachella Valley and the local traffic counting efforts on behalf of the local agencies in Western Riverside County. To further insure that the CMP System is appropriately monitored to reduce the ' occurrence of CMP deficiencies, proposed development projects can be evaluated by each affected agency to determine potential impacts along the regional, sub -regional and CMP Systems. As a result, such evaluation will reduce the incidence of LOS deficiencies along the CMP System given that each local agency has established LOS thresholds at higher levels. To insure that major development projects and plans are evaluated and reflected in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Transportation Model and local models, local agencies are encouraged to work with affected agencies to mitigate the impacts considering the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA). Monitoring of Potential Deficiencies As a result of the LOS screening analysis, five (5) LOS "F" segments along Alessandro, SR 79, 1-15, and 1-215 were identified using floating car runs. Floating car runs provide the accurate measure of LOS. The runs were requested by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on a quarterly basis following approval of the 2006 CMP. Table 5-1 illustrates that three of the segments are likely operating at LOS "F" due to construction along the deficient segment or along another major freeway or interchange projects in the vicinity. One of the segments on 1-15 (1-215 to SR 79 South) is operating at LOS °F" but will be improved to LOS "E" or better once the French Valley Interchange improvement is initiated and constructed. A majority of these deficient segments have been effected by major freeway segment and interchange construction over the past two years. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 5-6 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program Van Buren Blvd from SR 91 to Mockingbird Canyon and from Washington St to Wood is also operating at a LOS "F" based on recent segment counts taken on October 4, 2007. If the LOS is at "F" for more than one (1) year with no extenuating circumstances causing the deficiency (e.g., construction, special event, etc), the local agency will be notified that a deficiency plan must be prepared in accordance with requirement set forth in Chapter 6. As a result, it will be important to continue to monitor the LOS along these segments of Van Buren to identify the LOS through the use of traffic counts or floating car runs on a quarterly basis in 2007 and 2008.

Once a LOS "E" segment falls to LOS "F", the segment will be further analyzed as to what the cause may be. If the LOS is at "F" for more than one (1) year and is the average annual peak hour condition with no extenuating circumstances causing the deficiency (e.g., construction, special event, etc), the local agency will be notified that a deficiency plan , must be prepared in accordance with requirements set forth in Chapter 6. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 5-7 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 6 LOS DEFICIENCY PLANS STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089(b)(1)(B) of the Government Code specifically states that the Level of Service (LOS) standards established by RCTC, as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) in Riverside County, not be below LOS "E" or the current level, whichever is farthest from LOS "A". When the LOS on a segment or at an intersection fails to attain the established level of service standard, a deficiency plan must be adopted pursuant to Section 65089.4. In addition, Section 65089.4 requires a local jurisdiction to prepare a deficiency plan when highway or roadway LOS standards are not maintained on segments or intersections of the designated system. The deficiency plan must be adopted by the city or the County at a noticed public hearing. RCTC must calculate the impacts subject to exclusion (e.g. interregional travel) pursuant to subdivision (f) of the Section, after consultation with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), Caltrans, and the appropriate air district(s). If the calculated traffic LOS following exclusion of these impacts is consistent with the LOS standard, RCTC must make a finding at a publicly noticed meeting that no deficiency plan is required and then notify the affected local jurisdiction. RCTC must be responsible for preparing and adopting procedures for local deficiency plan development and implementation responsibilities, consistent with the requirements of this Section. The deficiency plan must include all of the required elements included in (Appendix 1) of the CMP Legislation. RCTC DEFICIENCY PLAN PROCESS RCTC will prepare deficiency plans for deficient segments along the State Highway System on behalf of local agencies. RCTC will coordinate development of such plans with affected local agencies, WRCOG or CVAG, Caltrans, and the AQMD. These agencies will have an opportunity to work with RCTC during the development of a deficiency plan, provide comments, and meet with other affected agencies to discuss issues prior to completion of a plan. To comply with the intent of the CMP legislation, a deficiency plan prepared by a city, the County or RCTC must include the principal elements specified in the CMP Legislation (reference Appendix 1). To date minimum CMP Levels of Service have been maintained, therefore deficiency plans have not been required. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 6-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program PROCEDURE TO IDENTIFY DEFICIENT SEGMENTS The procedure for identifying deficient segments or intersections along the CMP System of Highways and Roadways is documented in Chapter 5, Enhanced Transportation System Management Program. Deficient segments would be identified through traffic monitoring. When a deficiency is identified as part of the CMP Update LOS evaluation process, further detailed analysis of LOS shall be conducted to determine whether an actual deficiency has occurred. The LOS analysis conducted as part of the CMP Update process is only considered to be a "screening" level analysis, therefore additional, more detailed assessment of a potential deficiency would be required before a deficiency is formally identified. Coordination with the affected local jurisdiction(s) will be made to insure that appropriate data, geometrics, counts and other related information is applied to calculate LOS. CRITERIA TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE MITIGATION MEASURES Mitigation strategies that measurably improve the CMP System must be identified in the deficiency plan. Such strategies would include capital improvement projects or other measures that shift trips to alternative modes that may be included in or consistent with local Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinances. Further, mitigation measures should be developed considering both the existing and planned circulation system and the highest peak hour trip estimates or forecasts. Consideration of TDM measures under this process should focus on information contained in the current Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) section regarding the Congestion Management Program Linkage with the Air Quality Maintenance Plans (AQMPs) and local government Transportation Control Measures (TCMs). Coachella Valley and Western Riverside County TUMF Programs Coachella Valley and Western Riverside County local agencies and the County of Riverside have adopted Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) programs. In general, the programs impose fees on development specifically to address transportation impacts on local arterials. The fees are then used for selected transportation improvement projects along the adopted TUMF arterial network. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) implements the TUMF program in the Coachella Valley and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) implements the program in Western Riverside County. If, during the annual LOS monitoring process, an intersection or segment along the CMP system within the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) areas fall below LOS "E," an evaluation of planned improvements necessary to mitigate the deficiency must be undertaken. The adopted arterial programs would then be reviewed to determine if the deficiency would be mitigated through the TUMF program and within a reasonable timeframe. If an improvement project(s) is programmed that will mitigate Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 6-2 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program the deficiency, the arterial program would be considered as a deficiency plan for CMP purposes. If projects in the arterial program do not meet the required mitigation for the deficiency, then RCTC will work with the appropriate agency(s) to identify mitigation measures. Agencies that do not participate in the TUMF programs would be required to prepare a deficiency plan in accordance with this chapter. REVIEW OF DEFICIENCY PLANS Deficiency Plans will be reviewed by the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). A recommendation of approval or nonapproval of deficiency plans will be forwarded to the RCTC Board for action. In accordance with Chapter 5 - Enhanced Transportation System Management Program, mitigation measures must be identified to offset deficiencies. If the Board approves the deficiency plan, that plan will immediately become effective. In accordance with Section 65089.4(d), upon receipt of a deficiency plan from a local agency, RCTC shall hold a noticed public hearing within sixty (60) days. Following the hearing, the RCTC may either accept or reject the plan in its entirety. Further, the Commission may not take action to amend the deficiency plan if it finds that it is not acceptable. If RCTC rejects the plan, the plan must be forwarded to the affected local agency indicating the reasons for rejection. RCTC would then meet and confer with the affected local agency to identify revisions that would provide for an adequate plan. The affected local agency may resubmit a corrected deficiency plan and obtain approval by RCTC prior to the next annual allocation of tax increment funds. If the local agency does not correct and resubmit the plan, or receive approval prior to the next distribution of funds, RCTC must notify the State Controller to withhold such funds. If through the biennial traffic monitoring process, the LOS along a deficient arterial or highway facility improves to LOS "E" or better, mitigation measures that have not been implemented as specified in the deficiency plan, would no longer be required for CMP compliance purposes. In the Coachella Valley and in Western Riverside County, any funds withheld from a jurisdiction due to noncompliance, will be returned to the subregion that it was taken from (CVAG or WRCOG) to implement the respective TUMF Regional Arterial Program. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 6-3 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 7 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT! AIR QUALITY STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089(b)(3)(A) of the government code requires that RCTC prepare a CMP trip reduction and travel demand element that promotes alternative transportation methods. Such methods must include, but are not limited to, carpools, vanpools, transit, bicycles, and park -and -ride lots; improvements in the balance between jobs and housing; and ' other strategies, including, but not limited to, flexible work hours, telecommuting, and parking management programs. CMP Legislation also requires consideration of parking cash -out programs. INTRODUCTION RCTC has facilitated the implementation of a number of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) projects independently through the Measure "A" Commuter Assistance Programs. RCTC has also facilitated implementation of a number of TDM projects in cooperation with Ca!trans and local agencies in Riverside County and in adjoining counties to achieve TDM objectives such as Park-N-Ride lots, commuter rail stations, and rail and feeder services. Taken together, the individual programs and projects constitute a broad base effort to reduce reliance on the single occupant vehicle. CMP legislation requires each local agency to adopt a TDM ordinance. RCTC has prepared a model TDM Ordinance that can serve as a guide to local agencies in the development of their own ordinance. The model ordinance focuses on capital facilities that would encourage ridesharing and transit services. To date, all local agencies in Riverside County have adopted TDM Ordinances. This approach can be particularly effective in a rapidly growing County such as Riverside. It should be noted that the model ordinance is simply a model to be used if local agencies feel that it is suited to their own needs and requirements. The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), in conjunction with local agencies, have also developed model TDM Ordinances that meet the requirements of CMP legislation. The TDM Ordinance developed by WRCOG includes lists of actions required for implementation of the Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) for the Southern California region. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 7-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 8 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089(b)(5) of the CMP Statutes requires that RCTC prepare a seven-year capital improvement program, developed using the performance measures described in paragraph (2) to determine effective projects that maintain or improve the performance of the multimodal system for the movement of people and goods, and to mitigate regional transportation impacts identified pursuant to paragraph (4). The program must conform to transportation -related vehicle emission air quality mitigation measures and include any project that will increase the capacity of the multimodal system. It is the intent of the legislature that, when roadway projects are identified in the program, consideration is given for maintaining bicycle access and safety at a level comparable to that, which existed prior to the improvement or alteration. The capital improvement program may also include safety, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects that do not enhance the capacity of the system but are necessary to preserve the investment in existing facilities. RCTC CIP PROGRAM For purposes of this CMP Update, the 2007 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consists of STIP, Measure "A", TUMF, and other federally funded projects programmed on the CMP system. RCTC submits state and federally funded projects to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for inclusion in the FTIP. Locally funded non -regionally significant projects are not required to be included in the FTIP. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 8-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 9 CMP CONFORMANCE AND MONITORING STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089.3 of the Government Code requires RCTC to monitor the implementation of all elements of the Congestion Management Program (CMP). Caltrans is responsible for data collection and analysis on State highways, unless the agency designates that responsibility to another entity. RCTC may also assign responsibility of data collection and analysis to other owners and operators of facilities or services if the responsibilities are specified in its adopted program. RCTC must also consult with Caltrans and other affected owners and operators in developing data collection and analysis procedures and schedules prior to program adoption. At least biennially, RCTC must determine if the County and cities are conforming to the CMP, including, but not limited, to all of the following: (a) Consistency with levels of service standards, except as provided in Section 65089.4. (b) Adoption and implementation of a trip reduction and travel demand ordinance. (c) Adoption and implementation of a program to analyze the impacts of land use decisions, including the estimate of the costs associated with mitigating these impacts. (d) Adoption and implementation of a deficiency plan pursuant to Section 65089.4 when highway and roadway level of service standards are not maintained on portions of the designated system. Section 65089.6 states that failure to complete or implement a CMP shall not give rise to a cause of action against a city or the County for failing to conform with its general plan, unless the city or the County incorporates the CMP into the circulation element of its general plan. RCTC CONFORMANCE AND MONITORING In addition to conformity requirements referenced in specific sections of the Government Code, the County and cities must work with the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) to provide Level of Service (LOS) monitoring information along the CMP System. This process is detailed in Chapter 5, Enhanced Transportation System Management Program. RCTC will continue to work with its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to introduce new or revised requirements. Additional CMP workshops, to be held at the request of individual jurisdictions, offer the opportunity for planning and engineering staff to gain a better understanding of the CMP in an informal environment. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 9-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS The following sections provide a description of the monitoring process relative to individual CMP requirements. Consistency with LOS Standards To simplify the process of collecting traffic counts from Caltrans and the local agencies, RCTC has implemented the Enhanced Transportation System Management Program. LOS calculations will primarily be based upon the newly installed traffic counting equipment along the state highway system. Counts along the local arterial system will be provided by the subregional agencies, affected local agencies, or from counts conducted by RCTC. Currently, thirty-six (36) Smart Call Boxes (SCB) sites and twenty- seven (27) Traffic Monitoring Center (TMC) sites have been installed to collect traffic counts along the state highway system. The Enhanced Transportation System Management Program utilizes 'loop or pavement sensors" currently installed along the State Highway system at call boxes and TMC sites along the highway system. The program provides Caltrans and RCTC the ability to retrieve real-time count information. Chapter 5 of this CMP contains a full explanation of the SBC and TMC implementation program. In order to minimize administrative requirements for traffic count data and traffic LOS analysis, a database of key segments along the State Highway system has been identified. The links and intersections provide an adequate picture of the LOS on the entire CMP System. Local agencies within the Western Riverside County area will be required to provide RCTC with current traffic count data along the CMP System local arterials. CVAG will provide traffic counts for its regional arterial projects on the CMP System. Caltrans, in accordance with AB 1963, is required to monitor the LOS along the State Highway facilities. Therefore, Caltrans will provide traffic counts or LOS calculations along facilities where SCB or TMC counts are not available. Adoption and Implementation of Travel Demand Management (TDM) Ordinances RCTC has provided a model Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance that complies with CMP requirements. In addition, the County, WRCOG and CVAG, in cooperation with their member agencies, have developed model TDM ordinances. Copies of these TDM ordinances are on file at RCTC. All agencies in Riverside County have adopted TDM ordinances. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 9-2 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program PROPOSED PROGRAM TO MANAGE AND ANALYZE THE SYSTEM To insure that the CMP System is appropriately monitored to reduce the occurrence of CMP deficiencies, proposed development projects can be evaluated by each affected agency to determine potential regional and sub -regional impacts along the CMP Systems. As a result, such evaluation will reduce the incidence of LOS deficiencies along the CMP System. Local agencies are encouraged to work with other affected agencies to mitigate the impacts considering California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Intergovernmental Report (IGR) requirements to insure that major development projects and plans are evaluated and reflected in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Transportation Model. When a LOS deficiency is identified as part of the CMP Update, further detailed analysis of LOS shall be conducted to determine whether an actual deficiency has occurred. The LOS analysis conducted as part of the CMP Update process is only considered to be a "screening" level analysis, and a more detailed assessment of a potential deficiency would be required before a deficiency is formally identified. Coordination with the affected local jurisdiction(s) will be made to insure that appropriate data, geometrics, counts and other related information is applied to calculate LOS. TRANSPORTATION MODEL CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENTS Some local agencies have or will be developing transportation models to analyze the circulation system within their jurisdiction or for special transportation studies. RCTC, SCAG, local agencies engaged in modeling, and representatives of consulting firms working for local agencies, assisted in the development and update of Transportation Model Consistency Guidelines. These guidelines are available at RCTC and at the SCAG Inland Empire office in Riverside. RCTC will require that these guidelines be followed during development of traffic models for all projects of regional significance. The guidelines have several objectives; however, the primary objective is to insure that the legislative requirements for transportation modeling and database consistency are achieved. In addition, the guidelines have been designed to ease the transfer of information from the regional and subregional models to local models and vice -versa. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 9-3 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program REQUIRED CMP UPDATES The CMPs were required to be updated annually between 1992 and 1995. An amendment to the CMP legislation changed the update to occur biennially. Table 9-1 outlines the updates approved since inception: TABLE 9-1 Year CMP UPDATES SINCE INCEPTION Major Effort/Revisions Adopted 1992 The Commission originally adopted the CMP December 1992 1993 The CMP was revised focusing on LOS evaluation December 1993 1994 The Commission updated Chapters 3 and 5 of the CMP December 1994 1995 The CMP was revised and updated, primarily focusing on Chapter 5, Land Use Coordination and the inclusion of legislative amendments December 1995 1997 The CMP was thoroughly amended focusing on replacement of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) process contained in the Land Use Coordination Program (Chapter 5). The TIA process was replaced with the Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Program December 1997 1999 The CMP was revised focusing on LOS evaluation December 1999 2001 Minor revisions were included in the update and RCTC issued the RFP for the traffic counter installations at Smart Call Box and Traffic Management Center Sites. December 2001 2003 The 2003 CMP Update was focused on continued implementation of the CMP to meet Federal Congestion Management System (CMS) requirements. The traffic counter installations project was nearing completion. Test runs were initiated. December 2003 2005 The 2005 CMP Update focused on a review of LOS and monitoring of various street and highway segments that were approaching deficient levels of service. Several segments were identified as deficient through the application of floating car runs. These segments fell deficient due to construction activity and road closures in adjacent areas. Continued monitoring of the segments has been undertaken and the segments continue to be deficient due to continued construction activity and road closures. May 2006 The current update of the CMP is required to be updated and adopted by December 2007. Prepared for Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 9-4 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program SCAG CONSISTENCY REVIEW The 2007 CMP will be reviewed by SCAG for consistency with the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and with CMPs of adjoining counties (San Bernardino, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties). Under the MPO planning regulations, SCAG is required to certify that it meets federal CMS requirements, which includes a review and consistency determination of all CMPs within the SCAG region. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 9-5 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program CHAPTER 10 CMP DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION/ UPDATE PROCESS STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Section 65089(a) of the Government Code requires that the Congestion Management Program (CMP) must be developed, adopted, and updated biennially, consistent with ! the schedule for the adoption and update of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), for every county that includes an urbanized area, and must include every city and the county. The CMP must be adopted at a noticed public hearing by RCTC acting as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA). Development of the CMP must also be coordinated with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), regional transportation providers, local governments, Ca[trans, and air districts. Section 65089(b) also states that the CMP must contain all of the elements described under Statutory Requirements in each Chapter of this CMP. RCTC DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, AND UPDATE PROCESS As described above, Congestion Management Program (CMP) legislation requires that the Program be developed, adopted, implemented, monitored, and updated biennially. This chapter primarily focuses on procedural, administrative, and coordination activities related to CMP development, adoption, implementation and update. To meet the requirements of the legislation, the CMP shall be developed, adopted, implemented, and updated in accordance with procedures described in the following sections. CMP DEVELOPMENT The CMP is developed to meet federal CMS requirements and also includes elements of the State's CMP guidelines. State CMP statutes AB 471, 1791, AB 3093, AB 1963, and AB 2419 (reference Appendix 1). CMP ADOPTION PROCEDURE The following procedure has been developed to outline the process toward preparation and adoption of the CMP. RCTC staff shall coordinate the development of the CMP with the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). Local agencies should continue to monitor the CMP System. It is suggested that the local agency collect ground counts at least every four (4) months to provide for average annual traffic conditions. Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 10-1 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program ♦ Beginning in April of each odd numbered year, RCTC will obtain counts or LOS analysis from Caltrans, CVAG, and local agencies. In May of each odd numbered year, RCTC must initiate a CMP update. RCTC staff will review individual Chapters with the RCTC TAC, as necessary. ♦ In October of each odd numbered year, RCTC must submit a Preliminary Draft of the CMP to SCAG and the RCTC TAC CMP Subcommittee for review and comment. In November of each odd numbered year, RCTC staff will submit the Draft CMP to the TAC for formal review and approval. ♦ Between November and December of each odd numbered year, RCTC staff will submit the Final Draft to the Commission for review and approval CMP IMPLEMENTATION The CMP is to be implemented and monitored in accordance with procedures described in Chapter 9 - CMP Conformance and Monitoring. CMP UPDATE PROCEDURE The CMP update process should be initiated at least 6 months prior to adoption. Revision of the CMP may occur any time during the year to address specific issues. ' The update should include a thorough review of each Chapter or required element contained in the current CMP. A suggested review process follows: ♦ Legislative revisions or new enactments to CMP statutes should be thoroughly reviewed and incorporated into the CMP update. ♦ Review agency requests for adding road segments to the CMP System. According to the CMP legislation, facilities may only be added to CMP system. All facilities included in the adopted CMP must be retained. Review adjacent county CMP Systems to determine if facilities were added or are proposed for addition. Review and analyze any additions considering SCAG's Consistency Guidelines on file at RCTC. ♦ Review, in coordination with SCAG and local agencies, the existing and future year databases used for transportation modeling purposes to insure consistency Prepared for: Riverside County Transportation Commission Prepared by: VRPA Technologies 10-2 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program in the development of socioeconomic estimates and projections. ♦ Review the adopted CMP Minimum level of service (LOS) standard. The CMP LOS standard can only be increased above the level identified in the adopted Program. ♦ Review LOS estimates to determine if the LOS along CMP facilities has dropped below LOS "E". ♦ Document the purpose for, and status of, deficiency plans that may have been prepared by local agencies during the previous year including proposed mitigation measures. ♦ Document segments or intersections that are at LOS "E", close to falling below the adopted CMP threshold. ♦ Review the Productivity Improvement Program Transit System Performance Indicators for any changes/updates. This effort will be coordinated with RCTC staff responsible for development and adoption of the transit operators SRTPs. Document whether public transit or passenger rail service was identified as a mitigation measure or potential mitigation measure in the development of deficiency plans. ♦ Review the CMP Conformance and Monitoring Process to determine whether the process is consistent with changes or revisions identified within other CMP elements.

To be eligible for BTA funds, a city or county must prepare and adopt a Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) that complies with Streets and Highways Code Section 891.2 and the following: 1. The governing body of a city or county must adopt the BTP by resolution or certify that it is current and complies with Streets and Highways Code Section 891.2. 2. The city or county must submit the BTP to the appropriate Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) or Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for review and approval for compliance with Streets and Highways Code Section 891.2 and the regional transportation plan (RTP). 3. Following regional approval, the city or county must submit the BTP, the resolution adopting the BTP, avid the letter of approval from the MPO/RTPA to the Caltrans Bicycle Facilities Unit (BFU) for review and approval. 4. BTP adoption establishes eligibility for five consecutive BTA funding cycles. Example: BTPs adopted in 2007 and submitted December 3, 2007; with an application for 2008/2009 BTA ' funding would establish eligibility for state fiscal years 2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011, 2011/2012, and 20012/2013. The state fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. Applications for 2008/09 BTA funds are due to Caltrans Districts by December 3, 2007.

Attending will be key practitioners and liaisons representing agencies that are recipients of Federal transportation dollars from around the industry: the USDOT, FTA, FHWA, and FAA, as well as local transportation authority officials. Also, on hand, will be select industry consultants and vendors. The event is closed to the private sector, with the exception of invited sponsors and speakers, a maximum of 15 companies. These firms will have exclusive access to the conference attendees, transportation industry specialists and decision makers. With tentative special keynote speakers like Michael Freilich, of the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Civil Rights, and Colette Holt, Attorney at Law, the Summit will provide information from all levels of the industry, in one event. The summit will focus on the following areas: • DBE outreach tools and strategies • Retention of existing DBEs • Disparity studies • Achieving race conscious results in a race neutral environment • Building Capacity one tier at a time Conference sessions will include: • Round table discussions • Presentations by some of the leading software developers in the market • Disparity study, panel discussion with some of the leading consultants in the industry • Presentations by leading government agencies Held on beautiful Shelter Island, in San Diego, California, the location is the perfect venue for networking, relaxing evening activities, and many close -by amenities - golf, restaurants, clubs, and the world famous San Diego Gaslamp District. Expectations of gorgeous fall weather, lots of sunshine, and an average daytime temperature of 74 degrees will make this a spectacular destination event. The summit will equip practitioners with tools and information that will assist in formulating and implementing a consistent and successful Federal DBE Program either through race - and gender conscious measures, or by race neutral means. One of the round table discussions will focus on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on "Western States Paving Co. v. Washington State DOT. Although west coast states are adversely affected by this ruling, the need for DOTS across the country to understand the results of this ruling is crucial -- it could very well effect states east of the Mississippi as well. The Summit will be held at the Island Palms Hotel and Marina in beautiful San Diego California - • Thursday October 25, 2007 • Friday October 26, 2007 The resort is just minutes from the San Diego Airport, with shuttle service available.

O BOX 942874 SACRAMENTO, CA 94274-000I PI-IONE (916) 653-1776 FAX (916) 654-2409 TTY 711 September 21, 2007 To: Public Work Directors for All Cities and Counties in California Metropolitan Planning Organizations Regional Transportation Planning Agencies Local Transportation Commissions Dear Executive Director: Flex your power! Br energy efficient! I am pleased to announce that the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) NEPA Delegation program has officially begun. Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have signed separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) for SAFETEA-LU Section 6004 (CE Delegation) and for Section 6005 (NEPA Delegation Pilot Program). The MOUs together assign to Caltrans all authority and responsibility for compliance with NEPA and other federal environmental laws. Caltrans is therefore now legally responsible for all NEPA decisions and is also authorized to conduct formal consultations with the regulatory resource agencies, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State Historic Preservation Officer. Caltrans is the first state transportation department in the nation to assume these responsibilities and looks forward to making it a success. Caltrans believes that NEPA Delegation will result in program -wide time savings for state and local agency project delivery as a whole, which will translate into dollar savings by advancing construction. Details of both NEPA assignments can be found on the NEPA Delegation website http://www.dot.ca.govihq/env/nepa pilot/index.htm and in the summary attached to this letter. Key provisions include; • The Programmatic CE program is superseded by the Section 6004 CE delegation; now all CEs will be signed by Caltrans, regardless of classification. • Caltrans is now solely liable for defending environmental decisions on state and local agency projects in federal court. • NEPA authority cannot be delegated from the state to local agencies. In addition, because of the importance of this legal responsibility, the two programs will be subject to quarterly reviews and regular formal audits by FHWA to ensure that Caltrans complies with all FHWA environmental regulations, policy and procedures and that the programs deliver the anticipated benefits. Caltrans will need the assistance of its local partners in conducting and documenting quality assurance reviews on documents, in utilizing Caltrans' annotated outlines for EAs and EISs, and in collecting the data needed to support the audit, including summaries of environmental commitments and copies of permits. These new requirements are described in the "Caltrans improves mobility across California" Public Work Directors for All Cities and Counties in California Metropolitan Planning Organizations Regional Transportation Planning Agencies Local Transportation Commissions September 21, 2007 Page 2 attachment to this letter. We will also be soliciting and reporting to FHWA your views on the efficiency of the program and on areas that may need improvement, and we welcome your input at any time. The PES form and Chapter 6 of the Local Assistance Program Manual (LAPM) are being updated to incorporate these procedural changes and is expected to be released in November 2007. The new NEPA delegation requirements can also currently be found in the Standard Environmental Reference (SER), which is on the Caltrans Division of Environmental Analysis website: http://www.dot.ca.gov/ser/. If you have questions or comments on either program, please contact your District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE). Your DLAE can also arrange for presentations or training on NEPA delegation. We look forward to working with you to make the NEPA Delegation program a successful vehicle for improving project delivery. Sincerely, TERRY L.

This step was previously readiness review prior to final FHWA NEPA Compliance and legal sufficiency reviews. With FHWA review step eliminated, the HQ review will be final NEPA compliance and legal sufficiency review. ❑ Section 106 Adverse Effect reports and MOAs will go to HQ Cultural and Community Studies Office, which will take the former FHWA consultation role. For simplest CEs: expect incremental gains — no waiting for FHWA signature on PES and CE forms, no waiting for FHWA to forward correspondence formally consulting with resource agencies. Time savings are expected to accrue program -wide. For highly complex projects, such as projects with complex resource agency coordination, and for EA and EIS projects: CT expects time savings of one to six months, depending on complexity of project. Savings will come from eliminating one layer of document review and the time needed for FHWA to forward correspondence to and from resource agencies Over the long-term, Caltrans also expects benefits from working more closely, one on one, with resource agencies. Caltrans can negotiate as the decision -maker at the table. While Caltrans must operate within fiscal guidelines for reasonable expenditure of federal public funds, there may be more flexibility to negotiate creative mitigation or combine funding opportunities, since mitigation will not set precedent for FHWA nationally. Why Delegation Matters The NEPA Pilot Program is a key opportunity to participate in an important national experiment and to explore a new way of streamlining the federal environmental process. Caltrans and local agencies have desired federal environmental delegation for many years: this is Congress's response; the opportunity is not likely to return if not tried. Caltrans has the opportunity to build closer relationships and more innovative approaches with federal resource agencies: the MOUs specifically state Caltrans agreements on mitigation measures will not be considered precedent -setting for FHWA Reasonable Expectations All Federal laws, regulations and policies remain in place: consultations with resource agencies will still take time, and Caltrans must maintain standards of federal review authority. The NEPA Delegation Program may have bumps at first — no state has done this before. Feedback will be important to improving the process. "Galmm. improves mobility across California" SAFE1'EA-LU NEPA Delegation Program September 20, 2007 Page 4 • Local Agencies must send copies of 1) environmental documents, 2) technical reports, 3) summary lists of environmental commitments to be incorporated into PS&E, and 4) permits to Caltrans' DLAE for files to facilitate audits and process reviews. The requirement to have environmental commitments and permits is not new (Local Assistance Procedures Manual Chapters 6, 12, 15, 17), but providing copy to DLAE is now mandated because of the need to provide rapid response to FHWA in process reviews and audits and because FHWA nationally is placing new emphasis on ensuring these commitments are carried out.

"Caltrans improves mobility across California" Attachment 2: SAFETEA-LU Section 6004 Categorical Exclusion Assignment of Responsibilities MOU Overview of Key Provisions ■ The MOU allows the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation to assign, and California to assume, responsibility for determining whether certain designated activities are included within classes of action that are categorically excluded from requirements to prepare environmental assessments or environmental impact statements pursuant to the NEPA regulations promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality, part 1500, title 40, Code of Federal Regulations. ■ The assignment under the MOU pertains only to designated activities described in Stipulation I(B): 1. Activities listed in 23 CFR 771.117 (c); 2. The example activities listed in 23 CFR 771.117(d); and 3. Additional actions listed in Appendix A. ■ For projects covered by the MOU, California is also assigned FHWA responsibilities for • environmental review and consultation under other federal environmental laws, as defined in Appendix B [Section IRA)]. ■ The MOU transfers to California all responsibilities for processing the CEs assigned under the MOU including all projects that are CE candidates, and any required reevaluations of CEs under 23 CFR 771.129 for all CE projects not completed prior to the date of this MOU [Section I(C)]. ■ This MOU supersedes any existing programmatic agreement that is solely between the State and the FHWA concerning CEs assigned under the MOU [Section I(C)]. ■ 'The State shall make all determinations under this MOU in accordance with 23 CPR 771.117(a) and (b) and succeeding regulations [Section IV(A)], and shall be subject to the same existing and future procedural and substantive requirements as if those responsibilities were carried out by the FHWA [Section II(C)]. ■ IThe State shall carry out the assigned consultation, review and coordination activities in a timely and proactive manner [Section II(D)]. ■ ,The State shall make all reasonable and good faith efforts to identify and resolve conflicts with (Federal agencies, state and local agencies, Indian tribes as defined in 36 CFR 800.16(m), and the 'public during the consultation and review process [Section H(D)]. • Any activity that does not satisfy the criteria for the CE categories described in Stipulation I(B) is excluded from this assignment. Projects may also be excluded at any time during the 'environmental process if the State determines that the project fails to meet the CE criteria [Section III(A)]. ■ FHWA shall retain responsibilities for formal government -to -government consultations with Indian tribes [Section II(B)]. • FHWA will evaluate the State's environmental processing if it has reason to believe that the State's performance does not satisfy the terms and conditions of this MOU [Section III(B)]. ■ If a project -related concern or issue is raised in a government -to -government consultation process with an Indian tribe and either the Indian tribe or the FHWA determines that the issue or concern will not be satisfactorily resolved by the State, then the FHWA shall reassume responsibility for processing the project [Section 1II(C)]. ■ For projects and other activities assigned under this MOU that the State determines are included in the classes of CE assigned to the State under this MOU, the State shall [Section IV(B)]: 1. Institute a process to identify and review the environmental effects of the proposed project. 2. For CEs other than those designated in 23 CFR 771.117(c), carry out a review of proposed CE determinations prior to the State's approval of the CE determination. rare or extreme circumstances and based on its observations, the FHWA may submit comments to the State and the other Federal agency if the FHWA determines such comment is necessary and in the Federal interest because [Section XI(B)]: 1. The FHWA reasonably believes that the State is not in compliance with this MOU; or 2. The FHWA determines that an issue between the State and the other Federal agency has broad or unique policy implications for the national Federal -aid Highway Program. �% C a l t r a n s w i l l m a i n t a i n a d e q u a t e o r g a n i z a t i o n a n d s t a f f c a p a b i l i t y t o e f f e c t i v e l y c a r r y o u t d e l e g a t i o n ( S e c t i o n 4 . 2 . 2 ) . �% T h e S t a t e o f C a l i f o r n i a m u s t a s s u m e s o l e r e s p o n s i b i l i t y a n d l i a b i l i t y f o r i t s N E P A a c t i o n s a n d d e c i s i o n s a n d b e s u b j e c t t o F e d e r a l c o u r t j u r i s d i c t i o n ( S e c t i o n 4 . 3 . 1 ) . �% C a l t r a n s s h a l l b e s u b j e c t t o t h e s a m e p r o c e d u r a l a n d s u b s t a n t i v e r e q u i r e m e n t s a s F H W A i n c a r r y i n g o u t t h e a s s i g n m e n t , i n c l u d i n g f e d e r a l l a w s a n d r e g u l a t i o n s , E x e c u t i v e O r d e r s , o f f i c i a l F H W A g u i d a n c e a n d p o l i c y ( S e c t i o n 5 . 1 . 1 ) . �% C a l t r a n s s h a l l b e s o l e l y r e s p o n s i b l e a n d s o l e l y l i a b l e f o r t h e r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s i t a s s u m e s , a n d s h a l l d e f e n d a l l c l a i m s a t i t s o w n e x p e n s e ( S e c t i o n 6 . 1 . 1 ) . �% C a l t r a n s s h a l l m a k e a l l r e a s o n a b l e a n d g o o d f a i t h e f f o r t s t o w o r k w i t h a f f e c t e d p a r t i e s a n d a t t e m p t t o r e s o l v e a n y a n d a l l c o n f l i c t s p r i o r t o p o t e n t i a l l i t i g a t i o n ( S e c t i o n 6 . 3 . 1 ) . �% C a l t r a n s s h a l l c o o r d i n a t e w i t h a l l F e d e r a l , S t a t e , a n d l o c a l r e s o u r c e a g e n c i e s e a r l y a n d a p p r o p r i a t e l y , a n d s h a l l m a k e a l l r e a s o n a b l e & g o o d f a i t h e f f o r t s t o r e s o l v e a n y c o n f l i c t s t h a t a r i s e ( S e c t i o n s 7 . 1 . 1 a n d 7 . 2 . 2 ) . �% F H W A w i l l n o t p r o v i d e a n y p r o j e c t - l e v e l a s s i s t a n c e t o C a l t r a n s ( S e c t i o n 8 . 1 . 1 ) . �% F H W A w i l l n o t i n t e r v e n e , b r o k e r , a c t a s i n t e r m e d i a r y , o r b e o t h e r w i s e i n v o l v e d i n a n y i s s u e i n v o l v i n g C a l t r a n s ' s c o n s u l t a t i o n o r c o o r d i n a t i o n w i t h a n o t h e r F e d e r a l a g e n c y ( S e c t i o n 8 . 1 . 2 ) .

One of the ongoing efforts between your staff and the FHWA staff has resulted in the development of standard formats (outlines) to assist in the preparation of documents addressing both the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and California Environmental Quality Act. Mutually acceptable formats have been developed for Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA) joint documents and Environmental Impact Report /Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) joint documents. The FHWA strongly encourages the use of IS/EA and EIR/E1S standard formats in the preparation of joint environmental documents by Caltrans and local agencies. We believe that1S/EA and EIR/E1S standard formats, when used in conjunction with current Caltrans Quality Assurance/Quality Control measures and the Caltrans' Standard Environmental Reference, are important steps towards ensuring that joint environmental documents effectively meet both federal and state regulatory requirements. Consistent use of standard formats when preparing documents should also lead to a substantial reduction in time devoted to document review and revision. We understand that a similar format for Environmental Assessment/Environmental impact Report joint documents is currently under development and we loot: forward to continuing our joint streamlining efforts.

This report concludes that although the Public Utilities Commissions (Commission) priority list of grade separation projects for the last several years has contained more than so projects, the California Department of Transportation has been unable to allocate all of the Grade Separation Program funds because local agencies have often not taken the additional steps necessary to apply for the funds once their projects are included on the Commission's priority list. Part of the reason for this failure to apply for funds is that the cost of grade separation projects has increased more than tenfold over the past 3o years while the funds available from the Grade Separation Program have remained unchanged. Specifically, the average cost of a grade separation project has increased from $2.5 million in 1974 to a current average of just more than $26 million. Local agencies say they are experiencing difficulties securing the funding necessary to pay for their share of grade separation projects; thus, some are not nominating new projects to be included on the Commission's priority Iist and many are not applying for funds for the projects already on the priority list. rt prepared by the Commission in March zoo7 showed that $165 million is needed to funding for the same number of grade separation projects that Us million provided ditional funding will be available for grade separation projects from a bond measure California voters in November 2oo6, which will provide a one-time amount of to improve railroad crossing safety. The bond measure makes $rso million of these e for allocation under the process established for the Grade Separation Program. itted, Contents Summary Introduction California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September2007 1 5 Audit Results Local Agencies Believe Allocations Are Not Sufficient to Allow Them to Take Advantage of the Grade Separation Program 13 The Final Costs of Grade Separation Projects Often Exceeded the Preliminary Cost Estimates 21 Caltrans Does Not Always Follow Regulations When Allocating Supplemental Funds, and Some Regulations Are Inconsistent With Statutes 23 Recommendations 24 Response to the Audit Business,Transportation and Housing Agency Department of Transportation 27 Vii Summary Results in Brief According to data from the Federal Railroad Administration, 167 accidents occurred near at -grade crossings throughout California in 2oo6. An at -grade crossing, often referred to as a railway crossing, is an intersection of railway tracks and a roadway at the same elevation, or grade. One method used to address dangerous at -grade crossings is to eliminate them by separating the railway and roadway so they no longer intersect, usually via an overpass or bridge. Grade separation projects involving local roadways are the responsibility of the local agency that has jurisdiction over the roadway. The average cost of these projects is $26 million, according to the Public Utilities Commission (Commission), based on a current list of high -priority grade separation projects. To help local agencies pay for these projects, the State makes some funding available through what is commonly referred to as the Grade Separation Program. As part of the process of determining which grade separation projects will receive funding from the Grade Separation Program, state law requires the Commission to establish a list by Julys of each year prioritizing each eligible project nominated by local agencies. Further, state law gives the California Transportation Commission (CTC) the responsibility for allocating the annual Grade Separation Program appropriation of $15 million to the projects included on the Commission's priority list. CTC has delegated this responsibility to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Although the Commission's priority list of grade separation projects for the past several years has contained more than So projects, Caltrans has been unable to allocate all the Grade Separation Program funds because local agencies often have not taken the additional steps necessary to apply for the funds once their projects are included on the Commission's priority list: Part of the reason for this failure to apply for funds is that the cost of grade separation projects has increased more than tenfold over the past 3o years, while the funds available from the Grade Separation Program have remained unchanged., Specifically, based on data provided by the Commission, we found that the average cost of a grade separation project has increased from $2.5 million in 1974 to a current average of just more than $26 million. However, the annual funding of Us million available for the Grade Separation Program has not changed since 1974- Local agencies say they are experiencing difficulties securing the funding necessary to pay for their share of grade separation projects. As a result, some are not nominating new projects to be included on the Commission's California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Audit Highlights...

Furthermore, many are not proceeding with projects that are already on the priority list, so they are not applying for funds for the projects. A report prepared by the Commission in March zoo7 showed that $165 million is needed to provide funding for the same number of grade separation projects that $15 million provided for in 1974. Although the report identified a need to increase the funding for the Grade Separation Program, according to a deputy director, the Commission has not performed an analysis to identify where it could obtain additional funding. The Grade Separation Program currently is funded through the State Highway Account, which also funds other transportation programs. Consequently, increasing the funding for this program would redirect funds from other transportation programs and projects unless another funding source is identified. Some of this additional funding will be available from a bond measure approved by California voters in November 2oo6, which will provide a one-time amount of $25o million to improve railroad crossing safety. The bond measure makes $iso million of these funds available for allocation under the process established for the Grade Separation Program. In addition to the funds made available from the bond measure, the State Transportation Improvement Program can provide funding to local agencies for various transportation projects including grade separation projects. When applying for an allocation from the Grade Separation Program, local agencies generally submit a preliminary cost estimate —a rough estimate based on such things as the scope of work to be performed, data from previous projects, and experience —to Caltrans. They are reluctant to spend the money needed to develop a more accurate estimate of a project's costs until they receive an allocation. As a result, the final costs of eight of the nine grade separation projects we reviewed exceeded the preliminary cost estimates local agencies submitted to Caltrans in their applications by amounts ranging from $1.5 million to $19.6 million. However, when we compared the final costs for seven of these projects to the preconstruction estimates (two cost . estimates were not available), the cost overruns were much less, between $So,000 and $3.7 million. The preconstruction estimate is an estimate of a project's cost based on the final design, using current construction and material costs. Finally, we found that Caltrans does not always comply with state regulations when allocating supplemental funds to projects for which the final costs exceed the preliminary cost estimates. For example, four of the six applications we reviewed did not include one or more of the required certifications, and two were missing a statement explaining in detail why the original allocation California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 was insufficient. Additionally, Caltrans' current regulations are inconsistent with statutes; thus, applicants may not be aware of changes in law and may either choose not to submit an application or submit inconsistent applications. Recommendations In light of local agencies' limited participation in the Grade Separation Program, the Legislature should reconsider its intent for the program and the extent to which it wishes to continue assisting local agencies with their grade separation projects. Among possible courses of action, the Legislature could: • Discontinue the program after the proceeds from the bond measure approved in November 2006 have been allocated and require local agencies to compete with a broader range of projects for funding available to them through other programs such as the State Transportation Improvement Program. • Continue the program and increase the annual budget of $is million and allocation limits per project because it desires to continue providing a specific source of funding focused on grade separation projects. To ensure that it administers the Grade Separation Program in compliance with state regulations, Caltrans should follow state regulations when making supplemental allocations. Further, to be consistent with statute, it should seek to revise current regulations to conform to recent amendments to statute. Agency Comments Caltrans agrees with our recommendation and will take steps to address it. 3 4 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Blank page inserted for reproduction purposes only. California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Introduction Background Data from the Public Utilities Commission (Commission) show that there are more than 7,70o at -grade crossings in California. An at -grade crossing is an intersection of railway tracks and a roadway at the same elevation, or grade, and often is referred to as a railway crossing. According to data from the Federal Railroad Administration, 167 accidents occurred near at -grade crossings throughout California during 2006. One method used to address this hazard is to eliminate dangerous at -grade crossings by separating the railway and roadway so they no longer intersect. As Figurer shows, grade separation involves having the railway or roadway pass over the other, typically by building a bridge structure. According to data provided by the Commission, there are currently more than 2,30o grade -separated crossings in California. Figure 1 A Grade Separation Involves Placing Railroad Tracks and a Road on Separate Levels Source: Illustrations prepared by the Bureau of State Audits based on the definition of grade separation. 5 6 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Grade separation projects involving local roadways are the responsibility of the local agency that has jurisdiction over the roadway. The average cost of these projects is $26 million, according to the Commission, based on a current list of high -priority grade separation projects. To help local agencies pay for these projects, the State makes some funding available through what is commonly referred to as the Grade Separation Program. Specifically; the California Streets and Highways Code, Section z9o, requires the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to include $zs million annually in its budget for this program. State law also requires that local agencies secure at least to percent of the cost of the project from the affected railroad companies in order to receive funds from the Grade Separation Program. The railroad company's contribution can be less if the local agency obtains federal funds to assist in paying for a project. Although state law makes the funds for the Grade Separation Program available without regard to fiscal year, the Budget Act generally limits the availability of these funds to three fiscal years. If Caltrans does not allocate all funds to local agencies within three years, the funds revert to the State Highway Account (highway account) —the original source of funding for this program —and are no longer available for allocation. Commission's Role The Commission receives nominations for grade separation projects from local agencies and prioritizes them for possible funding. Local agencies, which include cities, counties, separation -of -grade districts, and public entities providing rail passenger transportation services nominate crossings in need of grade separation or existing grade separations that requirealteration or reconstruction. The Commission reviews the nominated projects to ensure that they are eligible for the Grade Separation Program. According to the Commission, projects exclusively involving light rail or pedestrian grade separation are not eligible for the program because state law defines 'railroad -ma railroad. corporation, and "grade separation" as a structure that separates vehicular roadway from :railroad tracks. law requires the Cormniasibn to establish a list by Icily z of each year,pr oritizing each eligible project nominated by local agencies. As Figure 2 shows; the Commission uses a two-year process to establish the priority list. Specifically, it spends a year, developing the priority list (Fiscal Year i in the figure). it then issues the new'priority list by July z, the beginning of the next fiscal year. It uses the priority list for that fiscal year (Fiscal Year a in the figure) and then, at the end of the year, revises the list by deleting the projects to which funds were allocated during theyear. It then uses the revised list California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 for the following fiscal year, at the same time that it is going through the process of developing a completely new list. In other words, the Commission uses the same priority list for two years, revising it at the beginning of the second year to eliminate projects that already have been funded. During the second year, the Commission begins the year -long process of creating a new list, which takes effect in the following year. Figure 2 The Commission Uses a Two -Year Process to Establish Priority Lists of Grade Separation Projects i July i The Commission I sends nomination packages to local agencies. E IJune Caltrans notifies the Commission regarding ivhick projects are allocated funds.` October Due date for local agencies to send I project nominations to the Commission.

June The Commission issues the priority -fist by July t for use in the fiscal year beginning on that date: Source: Information provided by the Commission. - . Upon notification by Caltrans of which projects are allocated funds, the Commission removes - them front the previous Est and issues a new priority list by July 1 for the following fiscal year. In developing the list, the Commission requires local agencies to submit a nomination package for grade separation projects by October After reviewing all nomination packages, the Commission prioritizes projects that involve either the construction of a new grade separation or the alteration of an existing grade separation. It uses two formulas it developed through public hearings and with input from local agencies and Caltrans. These formulas take into account various . factors, including vehicular and train volumes, accident history, and the amountof funding requested by the local agency. Projects may include alteration or reconstruction of existing grade separations, construction of new grade separations to eliminate existing or. proposed grade crossings, or removal or relocation of highways or railroad tracks to eliminate existing grade crossings. 8 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 After it initially prioritizes the nominated projects, the Commission holds formal public hearings at which local agencies can provide testimonyconcerning their nominations. After the Commission staff revises the priority list based on the results of the hearing, the administrative law judge approves it and the Commission issues the new priority list to be used during the next two fiscal years. Caltrans' Role Caltrans allocates the Grade Separation Program funds to projects on the Commission's priority list. State law gives the California Transportation Commission (CTC) the responsibility of allocating the annual Grade Separation Program appropriation of Sas million to the projects included on the Commission's priority list. CTC has delegated this responsibility to Caltrans: When local agencies are ready to begin construction on a project included on the Commission's priority list, state regulations require them to submit an application to Caltrans_ The application must include satisfactory evidence that the Commission approved the project for construction, that sufficient local funds will be made available as the project progresses, that all necessary agreements with affected railroad companies have been executed, that all required environmental impact reports were. approved, and that all other prerequisites to the awarding of the construction contract can be accomplished within two years after the allocation. Depending on the type of project, state law limits allocations from the Grade Separation Program to either 5o percent or 8o percent of a project's estimated cost and imposes maximum allowable contributions of $5 million, $15 million, or $ao million. Projects involving the construction of grade separations at locations where there were previously no at -grade crossings and those involving the elimination of at -grade crossings that have been in existence for fewer than io years, are eligible to receive allocations no greater than so percent of the estimated costs. This limit increases to 8o percent for all other projects In addition to these limits, under state law each grade separation project generally can receive no more than $5 million. However, Caltrans can allocate more than $5 million to eligible projects under certain circumstances. For example, grade separation projects that have the highest priority are eligible for as much as $15 million. Projects that alleviate traffic and safety problems or that provide improved rail services can receive as much as $io million regardless of their ranking on the priority list. Caltrans cannot allocate more than half of the Grade Separation Program funds available in a given fiscal year to these types of projects, however, and they must Califomia State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007' be funded over two to five years at a rate not greater than $5 million per year. Lastly, if the final cost of projects exceed the preliminary cost estimates the local agencies provided to Caltrans as part of their application for Grade Separation Program funds, state law allows Caltrans to augment the projects proportionately with supplemental allocations. Funding Source for the Grade Separation Program The Grade Separation Program is funded primarily from the highway account, for which the principal sources of funds are excise taxes on motor vehicle fuels, commercial vehicle weight fees, and federal highway trust funds. State law requires the highway account to provide funding for the administration of Caltrans; the State Highway Operations and Protection Program; and local assistance programs, such as the Grade Separation Program, required by state or federal laws. Any amount remaining in the highway account after funding the required programs is available for capital improvement projects under the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). However, according to CTC, the STIP has not received funds from the highway account since wog. Finally, state law requires that the highway account be reimbursed for $5 million of the $rs million funding it provides the Grade Separation Program. It receives this reimbursement from motor vehicle fuel license taxes and use fuel taxes that otherwise would be distributed to cities and counties. Recently Approved Bond Measure California voters recently approved the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2oo6 (Bond Act), which provides $25o million to improve railroad crossing safety. The Bond Act makes these funds available to. Caltrans, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the completion of high -priority grade separation and railroad crossing safety improvements. Of the $25o million in Bond Act funds, $iso million are available for allocation using the process established for the Grade Separation Program_ Other states have taken similar measures to provide funding for grade separation projects. For example, Ohio's Grade Separation Program is a io-year, $aoamillion program to fund 3o projects that were selected using criteria such as safety, train frequency, traffic volume, and project costs. 9 10 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Scope and Methodology The Joint Legislative Audit Committee (audit committee) requested that the Bureau of State Audits (bureau) perform an audit of the funding and approval process required for state and local transportation agencies for grade separation projects. Specifically, the audit committee asked the bureau to assess the roles and responsibilities of the various agencies involved in the funding and approval of grade separation projects to determine if any duplication of effort or program exists. Further, the audit committee requested that the bureau determine whether the Grade Separation Program is being administered and operated in accordance with the appropriate statutes and regulations, and that it identify any obstacles that state and local agencies face in meeting the program's legislative goals. We also were asked to identify the funding sources for the Grade Separation Program and to determine whether the program uses the sources available and whether funding levels are reasonable and consistent with other comparable programs. The audit committee asked that we identify any changesin statutes that would improve the program's administration or any alternative funding mechanisms that could facilitate meeting its legislative goals. In addition, we were asked to determine which local agencies have received state funding for grade separation projects and, to the extent possible, to review estimated and actual costs for the projects. We also were asked to review a sample of these projects to determine the reasons for any cost overruns, the efforts local agencies made in planning and funding the projects, best practices available to local agencies to improve projections and control costs, and whether all local agencies face similar issues with projecting and controlling costs. To identify the roles and responsibilities of the various entities involved, we reviewed the laws and regulations related to the Grade Separation Program and interviewed appropriate state agency personneL We also reviewed the policies and procedures of the state agencies involved to determine if there was a duplication of effort. We have described the roles of the two major state agencies —the Commission and Caltrans—responsible for administering the Grade Separation Program. We did not identify any areas of duplication. We also discussed with staff at both the Commission and Caltrans whether administration of the Grade Separation' Program should be the responsibility of one agency rather than shared by both. According to Commission staff, the Commission is legally responsible for regulating activities involving railroad crossings in California, and thus it believes that it should be responsible for prioritizing the railroad grade separation projects. The Commission also indicated that, because Caltrans can be the lead agency for a project that requests an allocation from the Grade California State Auditor Report 2007-106. September 2007 Separation Program, it would not be appropriate for Caltrans to determine a project's priority_ Additionally, the chief of Caltrans' Office of Rail Equipment. and Track Construction indicated that the process for developing the priority list and the process for administering the allocations are very distinct, with little or no overlap, as provided for in statute. Thus, the chief did not see any significant advantages or disadvantages of having either one agency or two agencies administer the Grade Separation Program. Further, we identified similar state and federal programs and reviewed their requirements to determine if the Grade Separation Program duplicated these other programs. To determine if the state agencies involved in administering the Grade Separation Program complied with the program's legal requirements, we compared their policies and procedures to the legal requirements. We also tested a sample of is projects on the Commission's priority list for fiscal years zooa—os to zoo6—o7 to determine whether the Commission appropriately followed state laws, regulations, and its own policies when calculating the priority for these projects. We found that the Commission appropriately calculated the priorities for the projects we tested. Further, we analyzed the Commission's formulas for establishing a projects priority. We found that in zoos the Commission modified the formulas after conducting workshops with interested parties. We also selected a sample of three applications for new projects and six supplemental applications that were approved or rejected by Caltrans to determine whether the reasons for such approvals and rejections were in accordance with the laws and regulations. We found that Caltrans complied with the laws and regulations in approving or rejecting applications for new projects. To determine the obstacles that state agencies face in meeting program goals, we compared the number of projects included on the Commission's priority list during fiscal years zooz—o3 to ' zoo6—o7 to the number of projects awarded allocations during the same time. We reviewed Caltrans' accounting records to determine whether it allocated all available Grade Separation Program funds. We also interviewed appropriate personnel at the Commission and Caltrans to determine what obstacles they face in administering the Grade Separation Program and in meeting program goals. To identify local agencies' efforts in planning and funding projects and the obstacles they face in seeking and obtaining approval and funding for the Grade Separation Program, we surveyed a sample of 75 local agencies. Specifically, using data available from the Commission and Caltrans, we identified azz local agencies that were responsible for the more than io,000 at -grade and grade -separated crossings in California. We also identified 57 local agencies that nominated grade separation projects to the Commission 11 12 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 during fiscal years 2000-01 to zoo6-37 and we sent a survey to 48 of them. These 48 local agencies included nine that received an allocation from the Grade Separation Program and 12 that did not renominate a project in subsequent years. Finally, we selected 27 other local agencies to survey that did not nominate any projects during the seven years we reviewed. Of the 75 local agencies we surveyed, 57 responded. We analyzed the survey responses to determine whether all local agencies face similar obstacles in obtaining approval and funding for the Grade Separation Program. To determine whether the local agencies are completing the grade separation projects within budget, we reviewed Caltrans' records for the 17 projects completed as indicated by its accounting records for fiscal years 2000-01 through zoo6-o7 and identified those projects that had cost overruns. We selected nine of the 17 completed projects to further analyze their cost overruns, ensuring coverage throughout the State and a range of cost overruns. We then visited or contacted staff at each local agency responsible for these nine projects to obtain an understanding of the reasons for the cost overruns and, if available, reviewed supporting documents. We analyzed their responses to determine whether local agencies throughout the State face similar issues with projecting and controlling costs. California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Audit Results Local Agencies Believe Allocations Are Not Sufficient to Allow Them to Take Advantage of the Grade Separation Program Once they have nominated a grade separation project to the Public Utilities Commission (Commission) and the project has been placed on the Commission's priority list, many local agencies we surveyed are not taking the additional steps to apply to the California Department of Transportation, (Caltrans) for funding under the Grade Separation Program. Many of these agencies indicated that they are not applying for this funding becausethey are having difficulty securing the funds to cover their portion of the costs of grade separation projects. We found that the portion of project costs that local agencies are expected to pay has increased dramatically over the past 3o years. According to data provided by the Commission, the average cost of a grade separation project increased from $2.5 million in 1974 to more than $26 million currently, while the annual budget of sis million for the Grade Separation Program has remained unchanged since 1974. A report prepared by the Commission showed that $165 million is needed to provide funding for the same number of grade separation projects as $is million provided in 1974. However, some local agencies have been able to secure funding from other sources to pay for their projects without using funds from the Grade Separation Program. A recently approved bond measure will provide additional funding for grade separation projects. Funding for the Grade Separation Program Has Not Kept Pace With Increased Construction Costs, So Some Local Agencies Choose Not to Nominate Potential Projects Although the average cost of a grade separation project has increased considerably, the budget for the Grade Separation Program has not changed since 1974. In 1971 an amendment to state law increased the annual Grade Separation Program budget from $5 million to sro million. Legislation that became operative in 1974 again increased the budget, this time to sis.million annually. This legislation also increased the amount of allocation a local agency was eligible to receive from no more than So percent to no more than 8o percent of the estimated costs of a project. At that time, according to our calculations based on Commission data, the average cost of a grade separation project was $2.5 rnillion. Since 1974, however, this average cost has increased by more than tenfold, to more than $26 million in fiscal .year 2oo6—c 7, while the budget for the Grade Separation Program has remained unchanged. 13 14 ( California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 This disparity between project costs and available funding has greatly increased the portion that local agencies are expected to pay for a grade separation project. As Figure 3 shows, local agencies currently must pay about 81 percent of the project costs, either by using their own funds or by finding other funding sources. In 1944 local agencies generally were expected to pay only about zo percent of the costs for a grade separation project receiving an allocation from the Grade Separation Program. In fact, a legislative committee's analysis of the 1974 legislation that ultimately increased the budget for the Grade Separation Program to $15 million and increased the allocation limit to 8o percent indicated that the bill's purpose was to reduce the cost to local agencies because many of them had been unable to meet their share of the cost at the previous levels.

For example, an official with the city of Torrance estimates that one potential grade separation project the city would like to construct will cost roughly $25 million. According to the official, the city would have to secure $t7.5 million in other funding, provided it receives a $5 million allocation from the Grade Separation Program and the to percent railroad contribution. The city has been unable to secure the other funding, so it has not nominated the project to be considered for the Commission's priority list. We found that 18 of the 57 local agencies (32 percent) that responded to our survey did not nominate or renominate all their potential grade separation projects during the past seven years because they were unable to obtain the funding needed to pay for their portion of the costs. Of these 18local agencies, 13 also indicated that the $5 million limit per project was not a sufficient amount, considering the total cost of their projects. In March zoo? the Commission prepared a report showing that $165 million is needed to provide funding for the same number of grade separation projects that $ts million provided in 1974• Additionally, this report recommended that the maximum allocation for a single project be increased from $5 million to $25 million. This increase in the maximum amount allowed for each project would mean that local agencies would need to secure a smaller portion of the funding for grade separation projects. Of the 41 local agencies that responded to our survey and indicated that they were aware of the Grade Separation Program and had crossings in need of separation, 35 (or 85 percent) indicated that they would nominate more projects if funding for the Grade Separation Program and the limit on the allocation per project were increased. Although the report prepared by the Commission identified the need to increase the funding for the Grade Separation Program, according to a deputy director, the Commission has not done an analysis to identify a source of additional funding. As we stated in the Introduction, the funding for the Grade Separation Program currently comes from the State Highway Account (highway account), which also is required by law to provide funding for the administration of Caltrans, the State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP), the State. Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and local assistance programs required by state or federal laws. Therefore, increasing the funding for the Grade Separation Program would redirect funds from other transportation programs and projects unless another funding source were identified. In 1999 the Commission sponsored legislation to increase the Grade Separation Program's annual budget from $1.5 million to $6o million. At that time the Commission pointed out that funding for the Grade Separation Program had remained at $15 million since 1974 and that increases in the cost of land acquisition and project construction had resulted in allocations to fewer projects over time. The analysis of the bill indicated that an increase in the California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 in March 2007 the Commission prepared a report showing that S765 million is needed to provide funding for the same number of grade separation projects that vs million provided in 1974. 15 16 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Although the Commission's priority list has included so to 7o projects each year for the past five years, Caltrans has received applications from only to local agencies requesting funds for projects during that time. annual appropriation for the Grade Separation Program would reduce the funding available to local transportation agencies and the State through the STIP by the same amount. Ultimately, the legislation did not make it through the legislative process. Seven years later, in 2006, Assembly Bill 1785 again sought to increase the Grade Separation Program's annual budget, this time to $7o million. However, as with the earlier bill, the bill analysis indicated that the increase in the programs allocation would reduce funds available for other transportation programs and projects such as the SHOPP and the STIR This more recent bill also failed to make it through the legislative process. Ca/trans Has Received Few Applications for Funds Over the Past Five Years, and Some Grade Separation Program Funds Have Reverted to the Highway Account As we discussed in the Introduction, after the Commission includes a project on its priority list, the local agency must submit an application to Caltrans before it can receive funding from the Grade Separation Program. As shown in Table 1, although the Commission's priority list has included so to 7o projects each year for the past five years, according to Caltrans, it has received applications from only 10 local agencies requesting funds for their projects during that time. Caltrans has awarded allocations to eight of these 10 local agencies and two are pending consideration. We found that many local agencies did not apply for an allocation, even though some of their projects ranked higher on the Commission's priority list than the ones for which agencies applied and received allocations. Specifically, projects that ranked as low as 25, 40, and 60 on the priority list have applied for and received Grade Separation Program funds. In fact, only one of the eight projects for which Caltrans awarded an allocation during the last five years was among the top 10 projects on the priority list. Additionally, we found that zo of the 57 local agencies that responded to our survey had nominated a project for inclusion on the priority list during the last seven years but did not take the additional step of submitting an application to Caltrans for program funding. As Table on page 18 shows, to of these 20 local agencies indicated they could not raise the local funds needed for their portion of the project, and four of these 10 also noted that they could not reach an agreement with the railroad company to contribute to the project as required. Further, four of the to, as well as six others, indicated that they did not apply because they did not believe the project would be funded, given their projects' low priority on the Commission's list. Califomia State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Table 1 Very Few Local Agencies Applied for a Grade Separation Program Allocation During the Last Five Years FISCAL YEAR 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 NUMBER OF PROJECTS ON THE PRIORITY LIST NUMBER of NEW APPLICATIONS CALTRANS RECEIVED NUMBER OF NEW ALLOCATIONS AWARDED NUMBER CIE NUMBER OF SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATIONS ALLOCATIONS CALTRANS RECEIVED AWARDED Sources: Data from Public Utilities Commission and Caltrans: * Caltrans initially rejected all five applications submitted in fiscal year 2005-06 in general because they contained deficiencies related to railroadamrements. According to Caltrans, three of the local agencies requested additional time to resolve the deficiencies and did so.The remaining two local agencies resubmitted their applications in fiscal year 2006-07. t This numberreflects two new applications submitted by focal: agencies in fiscal year 2006-07, but does not include the two applications that local agencies resubmitted after Caltrans rejected - them in fiscal year 2005-06.These two applications are already included in the count for that fiscal year. - 4 Caltrans awarded allocations to five of the seven local agencies that applied during fiscal years 2005-06 and 2006-07: The remaining two are pending consideration. Because so few local agencies applied for funding during the last five years, Caltrans' records show that all local agencies that applied for funding, in fact, were awarded funding or are pending consideration, regardless of their ranking on the Commission's priority list. However, even though Caltrans awarded funding to all that applied, it has been unable to allocate the entire $15 million budgeted annually because it has received so few applications since fiscal year 2oo2—o3. As we stated in the introduction, the California Streets and Highways Code, Section i9o, makes these funds available without regard to fiscal year, but the Budget Act generally Iimits the availability of these funds to three fiscal years. Thus, approximately $5.7 million has reverted to the highway account since fiscal year 2002-03. Further, as of July zoo? Caltrans still had approximately $9.3 million that it had not yet allocated to projects. If it is unable to allocate $4.3 million of these funds to eligible projects by June 3o, 2oo8, and $5 million by June 3o, zoo9, these funds also will revert to the highway account. 17 18 Califomia State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Table 2 Local Agencies Identified Two Main Reasons for Not Applying to Caltrans for an Allocation DID NOT BELIEVE TNT PROTECT WOULD COULD NOT REACNAN AGREEMENT BE FUNDED BECAUSE IT RECEIVED A VERY wUNtur RAILROAD COMPANY TO LOW PRIORITY OHM COMMISSION'S DID NOT APPLY BECAUSE OF CONTRIBUTE 10 MOUNT OF THE LOCAL AGENCY PRIORITY LIST COMPARED TO OMENS LAC% OF LOCAL FUNDS PROEMS COST AS REQUIRED OTHER' City of Delano City of Elk Grove City of Encinitas City of Los Angeles City of Merced City of Newark City of Palmdale City of Redding City of Riverside City of San Mateo City of Santa Fe Springs City of South San Francisco City of Stockton City of Vista Greater Bakersfield Separation of Grade District Los Angeles County San Bernardino County San Joaquin County San Mateo County Transportation Authorityt Tehama County Totals 10 10 6 Sources: Survey responses from 571ocal agencies. . Dther reasons local agencies cited for nominating a project for the priority Fist but not ultimately applying to Caltrans for an allocation induded the following: they were not aware of the need to submit an application to Cahans after nominating the project to the Commission, the agreement with the railroad had not been initiated, or they were not ready to apply for furldfng because the project was still 61 an early phase or was taking longer than expected to develop. t We originally sent the survey to the San Mateo County Transportation Authority. However, the survey was completed and returned by the Peniniula Corridor Joint Powers Board These two entities operate as part of the San Mateo County Transit.Dishict and share the responsibilities for grade separation projects. Some Local Agencies Are Not Aware of the Grade Separation Program, and Some Have Received Adequate Funds From Other Sources Of the 571ocal agencies that responded to our survey, io told us that they were not aware of the Grade Separation Program. Two of these to local agencies noted that they have a need for grade separation. However, we found that the Commission appears to appropriately inform local agencies of the existence of the Grade Separation Program. According to the Commission, as part of its process for establishing the priority list, it mails nomination request letters to all parties on its mailing list. The mailing list includes local agencies that have nominated a project previously, as well as all other public agencies known to have crossings under their jurisdiction. The mailing list also includes railroad corporations operating in California, light -rail transit agencies, the League of California Cities, and the California State Association of Counties. The Commission also publishes the letter on its Web site. Although these 10 local agencies indicated that they were unaware of the Grade Separation Program, we found that all to are included on the Commission's mailing list. We also found that some local agencies constructed grade separation projects without using Grade Separation Program funds. State law requires that the Commission approve any railroad crossing construction. According to the Commission, during fiscal years 2oos—o6 and 2o06-07 it approved 18 projects that were eligible for the Grade Separation Program. According to the Commission, of these 18 projects, only five were nominated to be included on the priority list for the Grade Separation Program. Further, eight of the 57 local agencies responding to our survey indicated that they had completed a grade separation project without Grade Separation Program funds. A project for one of these eight local agencies was not eligible for the Grade Separation Program because it involved grade separation for pedestrians only. Further, two of the eight agencies incorrectly believed their projects were ineligible because they were building a new grade -separated crossing where no at -grade crossing existed previously. Additional Sources ofFunds Are Available for Local Grade Separation Projects' Although the Grade Separation Program's annual budget has not increased since 1074, other sources can provide funds for grade separation projects. In November 2oo6 California's voters approved the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2oo6 (Bond Act), which provides $aso million to improve railroad crossing safety. Of the $25o million, the Bond Act makes $15o million available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for allocation under the process established for the Grade Separation California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Eight of the 57local agencies responding to our survey indicated that they had completed a grade separation project without Grade Separation Program funds. 19 120 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Provided that local agencies are able to secure their half of the funding, the stso million in Bond Act proceeds available for allocation under the process established for the Grade Separation Program could help fund the eight highest -ranked projects on the Commission's fiscal year 2006-07 priority list: Program. However, high -priority projects funded by the Bond Act can qualify to receive so percent of the total cost of a project, without the limits established under the Grade Separation Program. Even with an allocation of so percent of the project cost, some local agencies might be unable to secure the remaining funding. For example, one local agency, with a project estimated at $136 million, would have to secure $68 million in other funds. Nevertheless, provided that local agencies are able to secure the remaining so percent of the project cost from other sources, the $15o million could help fund the eight highest -ranked projects on the Commission's fiscal year 2oo6—o7 priority list, which total about $3oo million. The remaining 62 projects on the priority list have a total cost of more than $1.5 billion. The Bond Act authorizes the California Transportation Commission (CTC), in consultation with Caltrans, the High -Speed Rail Authority, and the Commission, to allocate the remaining $too million to high -priority railroad crossing improvements, including grade separation projects. CTC and Caltrans say they have not developed guidelines to determine how to fund projects under this part of the Bond Act. The fiscal year 2oo7—o8 budget includes $123 million of the $25o million to carry out the purposes of the Bond Act, with the remainder to be appropriated in subsequent years. According to CTC, approximately $75 million of the budget is for projects that are part of the process for the Grade Separation Program, and the remaining amount is to be allocated in consultation with Caltrans, the High -Speed Rail Authority, and the Commission. The Commission and CTC indicated they will use the priority list already in place when allocating the $75 million budgeted for fiscal year 2oo7—o8. In addition to the Bond Act, the STIP can provide funding to local . agencies for grade separation projects. The STIP is a multiyear capital improvement program consisting of transportation projects, including grade separation, projects, adopted by the CTC. According to Caltrans, CTC has allocated $24 million from the STIP for a grade. separation project for fiscal year 2oo6—o7 and will be allocating an additional $87 million for four other local grade separation projects. . To nominate projects for inclusion in the STIP, local agencies must work through their designated authority, such as a regional transportation planning agency, a county transportation commission,_ or a metropolitan planning organization, as appropriate. However, the designated authority ultimately decides which projects to ` submit to the CTC for possible funding. The CTC then conducts public hearings before selecting the projects to be funded under this program. The STIP provides funding for many different types of projects, so grade separation projects compete with other projects for funding. Therefore, some local agencies stated that they have been unsuccessful in obtaining the STIP funding for their grade separation projects. The Final Costs of Grade Separation Projects Often Exceeded the Preliminary Cost Estimates State regulations require local agencies to provide a project cost estimate (preliminary cost estimate) as part of the application they submit to Caltrans when applying for funding. We compared the preliminary cost estimates submitted by local agencies to the final costs for nine of the 17 grade separation projects that received final payments from Caltrans between fiscal years a000—oi and 2o06-07. As Table 3 on the following page shows, the final costs differed dramatically from the preliminary cost estimates for eight of the nine projects we reviewed, exceeding them by amounts ranging from $1.5 million to $19.6 million. However, when we compared the final costs for seven of these projects to the precorlstruction cost estimates (one local agency was unable to provide these cost estimates for two projects), the cost overruns were much less, between $78,000 and $3.7 million. These overruns typically were due to unexpected conditions on the construction site, such as the discovery of objects that had been buried in the roadway along time ago and needed to be moved. When we: discussed the reasons for the significant differences between the preliminary cost estimates and the final costs, most local agencies explained that the preliminary cost estimate is simply a rough estimate based on such things as the scope of work to be performed, data from previous projects, and experience. For example, one local agency told us that the preliminary cost estimate it prepared in 1995 and submitted to the Commission and to Caltrans was based on designs completed during the 196os and updated using construction cost data from the 199os. The local agencies also told us that the preconstruction cost estimate they prepare at a later date is much more accurate because they derive it from the projects final designs, using current construction and material costs. They indicated that it is easier to estimate costs that are otherwise hard to predict, such as right-of-way acquisition, after they have actual project designs. When we asked why they do not base the preliminary cost estimate on project designs, several local agencies indicated they are reluctant to spend the money needed to develop the project designs until they know they will receive Grade Separation Program funding and they do not invest in a design until funds are secured. In fact, 30 of the 571ocal agencies that responded to our survey indicated that they had nominated a project for inclusion on the Commission's priority list since fiscal California State Auditor Report 2007-106. September 2007 When we asked why they do not base the preliminary cost estimate' on project designs, several local' agencies indicated theyare reluctant to spend the money needed to develop the moject designs until they know they will receive Grade Separation Program funding. 21 22 California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 year 2000-01. Of these 30 local agencies, 20 noted that they had submitted rough cost estimates based on the scope of work to be performed rather than on actual designs for the project.

II Although the agency was unable to locate the entire preconstruction cost estimate, it provided an estimate for the most significant portion of the project%costs—the contraction costs. For the first project the preconstruction cost estimate dated April 1996 was 54,975,000, while the construction cost component of the final costs was $4,358,000:Shus, for this project the construction cost component of the fmal costs was actually less than the preconsuuction cost estimate by $617,000. For the second project, the premnstruclion cost estimate dated June 2002 was $4,744,000, while the consuuction cost component of the finial costs was $5,139,000.1hus, the construction cost component de* final costs exceeded the preconstruction cost estimate by $395,000. # The agency explained that the most expensive project encountered much greater rightofwayand utility relocation costs than expected, and that the other project experienced costly construction -related delays and received construction bids higher than had been estimated. ** The agency explained that because the project was rural, it was easier to estimate its cost accurately compared to urban projects, which typically have larger overruns because ofiightof-way acquisition - - Further, two local agencies we contacted also indicated that the preliminary cost estimates can differ significantly from the final costs because of the delay between the nomination of a project for inclusion on the Commission's priority list and the project's final completion. During this lengthy time period, there are usually design changes and increases in construction costs, which often exceed provisions built into preliminary cost estimates to allow for inflation as well as unforeseen expenses encountered during construction. As shown in Table 3, the time between the preliminary cost estimate and project completion ranged from 2.5 years to 13 years for the nine projects we reviewed. Caltrans Does Not Always Follow Regulations When Allocating Supplemental Funds, and Some Regulations Are Inconsistent With Statutes State law allows Caltrans to award supplemental funds to local agencies if a project's final cost exceeds the preliminary cost estimates the local agency provided to Caltrans. Local agencies provide the preliminary cost estimates as part of their application for Grade Separation Program funds. The Commission informs the local agencies of the requirements for requesting supplemental allocations when it invites them to nominate grade separation projects to be included on its priority list. We reviewed all six projects that received supplemental funds from Caltrans between fiscal years 2oo3-04 and 2oo6—a7 to determine if Caltrans followed the requirements of state law and regulations when approving the requests for these supplemental funds. We found that Caltrans did not always follow state regulations when it awarded the supplemental allocations. State regulations governing the Grade Separation Program specify the content of applications for supplemental allocations. For example, these regulations require that a local agency's governing body must certify that the project was completed, that railroad companies paid the share required by state law, and that the final cost has been determined and is set forth in the supplemental application. Further, the regulations also require local agencies to include in the application statements that explain in detail. . why the original allocation was insufficient and a final accounting of the project's cost. However, four of the six applications we. reviewed did not include one or more of the required certifications.. In addition, two of the six applications were missing a statement explaining in detail why the original allocation was insufficient. Finally, for two of the six applications, the local agencies did not submit a final accounting of the project's cost until after Caltrans awarded them the supplemental allocations. However, although California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 State regulations governing the Grade Separation Program specify the content of applications for supplemental allocations, including various local agency certifications. However, four of the six applications we reviewed did not indude one or more of the required certifications. 23 24 I California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September 2007 Caltrans did not have the final costs for these two projects, it ultimately allocated the appropriate amounts to the local agencies as prescribed by state law. The chief of Caltrans' Office of Rail Equipment and Track Construction noted that his office was not aware of the regulations for supplemental allocations. However, he stated that, because of the lack of new applications, the noncompliance with regulations did not prevent otherwise eligible projects from being funded through the Grade Separation Program. Although we agree that, because of the low number of applications received, Caltrans' noncompliance with regulations for supplemental allocations did not prevent other eligible local agencies from receiving Grade Separation Program funds, we believe it is important to administer the Grade Separation Program in compliance with state regulations. Lastly, state regulations governing the Grade Separation Program specify the required application process and content of applications for the allocation of funds for grade separation projects. However, certain state regulations are inconsistent with statute because of recent amendments to statutes governing the Grade Separation Program. In zoos the Legislature amended the California Streets and Highways Code, Section 2456, to allow local agencies two years to accomplish all matters prerequisite to the awarding of the construction contract. Current state regulations do not reflect this change and allow local agencies only one year. Additionally, the Legislature amended the California Streets and Highways Code, Section 2454, in 2006 to authorize CTC to allocate up to $is million to the highest -priority grade separation project on the priority list established by the Commission. However, current state regulations limit an allocation for a single project to ss million. When regulations do not conform to statutory law, applicants may not be aware of changes in law and may either choose not to submit an application or submit inconsistent applications. Recommendations In light of local agencies` limited participation in the Grade Separation Program, the Legislature should reconsider its intent for the program and consider the extent to which it wishes to continue assisting local agencies with their grade separation projects. Among possible courses of action, the Legislature could: • Discontinue the program after the proceeds from the bond measure approved in November 2006 have been allocated and require local agencies to compete with a broader range of projects for funding available to them through other programs such as the STIP. California State Auditor Report 2007-106 September2007 • Continue the program and increase the annual budget of $15 million and allocation limits per project because it desires to continue providing a specific source of funding focused on grade separation projects. To ensure that it administers the Grade Separation Program in compliance with state regulations, Caltrans should follow state regulations when making supplemental allocations. Further, to be consistent with statute, it should seek to revise current regulations to conform to recent amendments to statute. We conducted this review under the authority vested in the California State Auditor by Section 8543 et seq. of the California Government Code and according to generally accepted government auditing standards. We limited our review to those areas specified in the audit scope section of the report. Respectfully submitted, E i ' )66, ELAINE M. HOWLE State Auditor Date: September 13, 2oo7 Staff: Denise L.

Box 942873 Sacramento, CA 94273-0001 August 30, 2007 Dale E. Bonner, Secretary Business, Transportation and Housing Agency 980 9th Street, Suite 2450 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Mr. Bonner: I am pleased to provide our five-day response to the Bureau of State Audits (BSA) draft report entitled, "Grade Separation Program: An Unchanged Program Budget and Project Allocation Levels Established More Than Thirty Years Ago May Discourage Local Agencies From Taking Advantage of the Program" At the request of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, the BSA conducted an audit of the funding and approval process required for State and local transportation agencies for grade separation projects. The BSA concluded that funding for the Grade Separation Program has not kept pace with the increased cost of construction, causing some local agencies not to nominate potential projects. The average cost of a grade separation project has increased considerably and the budget for the Grade Separation Program has not changed since 1974.The BSA also found that the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) did not always follow regulations when allocating supplemental funds and that some regulations are inconsistent with statutes. The BSA is recommending that the Legislature reconsider the intent of the program and the extent to which it wishes to continue assisting local agencies with their grade separation projects The BSA is offering the following specific recommendation for Caltrans: "To ensure that it administers the Grade Separation Program in with state regulations, Caltrans should follow state regulations when making supplemental allocations. Further, to be consistent with statute, it should seek to revise current regulations to conform to recent amendments to statute" Caltrans Response: Caltrans has developed a check list to verify that requests for supplemental allocations include all of the documentation required by the California Code of Regulations. In addition, Caltrans is in the process of revising the current regulations to conform to recent changes in statute. Caltrans anticipates that the regulation amendments will be scheduled in the Office of Administrative Law 2008 Rulemaking Calendar with the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published prior to June 2008.
