Perris Valley Line, including station type and ridership projections,
which will be necessary to accommodate growth in Riverside County
over the next 50 years.
Eric_ Haley, Executive Director, discussed the Fair Isle Drive and
Moreno Valley/March Field Metrolink stationsG Staff is confident given
the population growth in that area, both of these stations can be
accommodated. He stated that approving the Fair Isle Drive Metrolink
station does not preclude any future Metrolink stations in the
University of California at Riverside (UCR) area. Additionally, the
Highgrove Metrolink station proposal submitted by Barney Barnett was
rejected by the Commission, the San Bernardino Associated
Governments, and the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG). Staff will return to the Commission with the requested
update.
Commissioner Marion Ashley expressed support for the proposed
Fair Isle Drive Metrolink station and enthusiasm for all the projects
moving forward on this agenda.
M/S/C (Roberts/Carlson) to authorize staff to negotiate with
Stone Pacific Development regarding the development of a Fair
Isle Drive Metrolink station.
7M. STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Commissioner Roy Wilson expressed concern for staff
recommendation no. 1, "Adopt an oppose unless amended position on
SB 974 (Lowenthal". He recommended the position of support with
amendments.
John Standiford, Public Affairs Director, replied that staff's primary
concern is to ensure the Commission is a part of the decision making
process when the revenue is generated either through a voluntary
container premium or through a legislative bill.
Commissioner Steve Adams expressed that SB 974 is subject to legal
challenge and will never pass. He stated that Riverside and
San Bernardino Counties are the most negatively impacted by goods
movement. He believes the Commission needs to take the lead and
work with San Bernardino County on a voluntary container premium
that will directly benefit grade separation projects in the two counties.

Commissioner John Chlebnik concurred with Commissioner Adams
comments and expressed opposition to SB 974 unless the amendment
language for this bill can specify with certainty the project priorities
and funding.
Commissioner Lowe expressed concern that SB 974 arbitrarily assigns
a container fee. She agreed with staff's analysis because as the bill is
currently written, the Commission's position is moot. She believes
that a support with amendments position does not express a strong
enough message to accomplish the needs of Riverside County.
At Commissioner Mary Craton's request, Commissioner- Adams
explained that the timeline to develop a voluntary container premium
could be within one year and is paid for by the manufacturers, not the
railroads. He stated that SB 974 is a tax on freight and subject to
legal challenge. He expressed that Riverside County is in a desperate
crisis situation and it is necessary for the Commission to take the lead
on a voluntary container premium.
Commissioner Buster requested discussion on Agenda Item 7M,
recommendation no. 5, "Adopt a SUPPORT position of the SR-241
Foothill South toll road extension".
Eric Haley expressed understanding for Commissioner Adam's
comments concerning SB 974 being subject to legal challenge. He
explained that there was a list of priority projects in September 2007.
However, Senator Alan Lowenthal came to an understanding with
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and pulled the bill rather than amend
it to approve that list of projects. Given that situation, he suggests
the Commission remain engaged in the dialogue. Staff is also
continuing the dialogue with the ports and has met with
representatives of the ports to work on another list of priority projects.
He recommended that the Commission remain engaged in both arenas
regardless of any skepticism.
Commissioner Wilson expressed support for a voluntary container
premium, however, he believes that taking a parochial position
opposing SB 974 would not be in the Commission's best interests.
Commissioner Wilson moved to change recommendation no. 1 to
support with amendments.
Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes
October 10, 2007

Chair Henderson stated that the Commission needs to remain engaged
in these discussions and believes that an oppose unless amended
expresses a stronger message regarding Riverside County's needs.
John Standiford stated that in terms of interacting with the legislators,
it will be made clear that support will not be given for SB 974 unless it
is amended.
M/S/C (R. Wilson/Berg) to:
1) Adopt a SUPPORT WITH AMENDMENTS position on
SB 974 (Lowenthal);
No: Adams, Carlson, Chlebnik, Craton, Hanna,
Henderson, Kelly, Lowe, Magee and Miller
Commissioner Buster expressed concern that the Commission has not
been kept abreast of the issues raised regarding the SR-241 Foothill
South toll road extension. He believes that the Commission should
take a position that is in line with transportation needs and congruent
with the Commission's responsibility to the environment. He
requested staff provide an update on the recent issues raised
regarding the toll road extension at a future meeting.
John Standiford replied the staff report was released before the.
Coastal Commission had met. The hearing has been continued until
early next year.
Commissioner Lowe explained that last week at the SCAG meeting,
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) spoke against the
Mid County Parkway (MCP) project and recommended that it be
removed from the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). She expressed
concern for this type of cooperation received from OCTA and
requested Eric Haley to comment.
Eric Haley replied that staff had discussions with SCAG staff and
explained that the constrained versus unconstrained portions of the
RTP needed to allow for a 30-year time frame, pointing out the
presidential executive order supporting community and environmental
transportation acceptability process (CETAP) corridors. He then
discussed the impact such an action would cause and staff's plans to
resolve the issue.
Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes
October 10, 2007
Page 11
Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director, explained that in discussions
with OCTA, an OCTA technical staff was in attendance at the meeting
that gave the appropriate technical answer. The funding was not in
OCTA's long range plan, however, OCTA did not intend to imply that
it did not support the SR-91 corridor or any of the Commission's
projects.
Commissioner Lowe noted Richard Dixon from Lake Forest was at the
meeting in support of the Commission's projects.
Commissioner Jeff Miller encouraged the Commission to support the
SR-241 Foothill South toll road extension. He expressed that it is
important to note that the toll road itself does not disrupt the
campgrounds or surfing opportunities. He discussed the community
support, federal agencies approvals, and the project's regional
importance. He expressed that the Commission needs to continue to
work together with the Commission counterparts in Orange County
and receive updates from the Coastal Commission as it moves
forward.
Commissioner Lowe concurred with Commissioner Miller's comments
and expressed support for the toll road extension.
Commissioner Buster expressed that he believes the Commission
should express its concern for the damage that this extension could
cause to the coastline.
Commissioner Ron Roberts stated that the city of Oceanside has taken
a position to oppose the extension. He also expressed concern
regarding relationships within San Diego County and will abstain on
recommendation no. 5, "Adopt a SUPPORT position of the SR-241
Foothill South toll road extension", until additional information is
received.
Anne Mayer replied she does not believe that SANDAG has taken a
formal position on the toll road extension.
Eric Haley replied the city of San Diego has taken a formal position to
oppose the extension.

AGENDA ITEM 7A
I!
1,
RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON
DATE:
November 14, 2007
TO:
Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Budget and Implementation Committee "�
Michele Cisneros, Accounting and Human Resources Manager
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution Regarding Revised Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year
2007/08
BUDGET AND 1MPLEMENAT/ON COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to adopt Resolution No. 08-006, "Resolution of the
Riverside County Transportation Commission Establishing the Revised Annual
Appropriations Limit".
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Section 7910 of the California Government Code implements Article XIIIB of the
California Constitution by requiring each local jurisdiction to establish, by
resolution, its appropriations limit for each fiscal year and to make documentation
used to determine the appropriations limit available to the public 15 days prior to
adoption of the resolution establishing the appropriations limit.
Staff performed the calculations necessary to determine the limit and presented the
calculations to the Commission on June 13, 2007. During the FY 2006/07 audit,
staff determined that the change in California per capita income was incorrectly
calculated. Staff inadvertently used the United States per capita personal income
column instead of the California per capita personal income column. The correction
results in a decrease of $5,210,094 in the appropriations limit from $294,507,445
to $289,297,351. The revised appropriations limit has no effect on the
FY 2007/08 budgeted expenditures. The resolution and documents supporting the
revised calculation are attached.

DATE:

TO:
Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Budget and Implementation Committee ++
Michele Cisneros, Accounting and Human Resources Manager
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Quarterly Financial Statements
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the Quarterly Financial
Statements for the period ended September 30, 2007.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the first three months of the fiscal year, staff has monitored the revenues
and expenditures of the Commission. The first quarter of the year is primarily
directed toward completing end of the year activities. Staff expects most of the
categories to present a more realistic outlook by the end of the second quarter.
The operating statement shows the sales tax revenues for the first quarter at 8%
of the budget. This is a result of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 33. GASB 33 requires sales tax revenue to be accrued for
the period in which it is collected at the point of sale. The State Board of
Equalization collects the Measure A funds and remits them to the Commission after
the reporting period for the businesses. This creates a two -month lag in the receipt
of revenues by the Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements reflect
the revenues related to collections for July 2007.
On a cash basis, the Measure A and Local Transportation Fund (LTF) sales tax
revenues are 5% and 3% lower, respectively, than the same period last fiscal year.
Receipts have decreased due to the effects of the softening of the housing market.
Staff continues to monitor the trends in the sales tax receipts and will report to the
Commission any necessary adjustments to the budget for sales tax revenue.
Federal, state, and local government reimbursements and other revenues are on a
reimbursement basis, and the Commission will receive these revenues as the
projects are completed and invoiced to the respective agencies.
Agenda Item 7C
11
The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues remitted to the
Commission by Western Riverside Council of Governments only reflect one month
of receipts. The July 2007 revenues of $1,648,376 were received by the
Commission on September 13, 2007.
At the time of the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Statements for the period
ended September 30, 2007, staff was completing the reconciliation and posting of
interest income. Interest will be correctly reflected in the Quarterly Financial
Statements for the period ending December 31, 2007.
The expenditure categories are in line overall with the expectations of the budget.
General administrative expenditures are higher due to a one-time payment in July
for the Commission's FY 2007/08 general liability insurance. Office lease and
utilities are slightly over as a result of the rent payment due by the V1 of each
month. The October rent was paid on September 24, 2007.
Capital outlay reports a negative actual amount. This resulted from the estimated
expenditure accrual adjustment at June 30, 2007, for office improvements made
but not yet invoiced.
Staff will continue to monitor the revenues and expenditures and notify the
Commission of any unusual events.

SUBJECT:
Reprogramming of $796,000 in Surface Transportation Program Funds
from the Perris Boulevard Widening Project to the Nason Street
Interchange Project
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE, TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE,
AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the reprogramming of $796,000 from an approved $3,184,000 of
federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds from the Perris
Boulevard widening project in the city of Perris (Perris) to the Nason Street
interchange improvement project in the city of Moreno Valley
(Moreno Valley);
2) Amend the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) to reflect
the required federal fund reprogramming action; and
3) Revise the Commission's Regional Arterial Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program to split the Perris Boulevard/Ramona
Expressway to Cactus Avenue project and TUMF funding between both
agencies based on an agreement between the cities of Perris and Moreno
Valley.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The cities of Perris and Moreno Valley currently have
two projects programmed in the RTIP that will widen
Perris Boulevard from two to six through -lanes
between Ramona Expressway and Cactus Avenue.
The projects are currently programmed in the RTIP in
an unusual fashion due to one portion that was once
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
funded.
Agenda Item 7F
19
The projects will be reprogrammed in the RTIP to reflect the project limits properly
within each city. The Perris widening segment will widen Perris Boulevard from two to
six through -lanes from Ramona Expressway north to the city limits. Moreno Valley's
widening segment also is two to six through -lanes and will be from its southern city
limits north to Cactus Avenue.
s
Approximately 25% of the $3.184 million of the original STP funded portion for the
overall Perris Boulevard widening falls within Moreno Valley. However, Moreno Valley
does not intend to federalize its widening segment and will backfill the $796,000 with
local funds. Per an agreement reached between the two cities, Moreno Valley is
requesting $796,000 of STP be reprogrammed to its State Route 60/Nason Street
interchange project.
The Commission's Regional Arterial TUMF program currently has $1.260 million
programmed for the environmental and design phases of work for the Perris Boulevard/
Ramona Expressway to. Cactus Avenue widening project. The project will now be split
into two separate projects with the cities of Moreno Valley and Perris as the lead
agencies for the segments in their specific jurisdictions. The TUMF funding programmed
will be split between the two segments per the agreement reached between the cities.
This request was presented at the October 15, 2007 Technical Advisory Committee
meeting. Staff recommends support for the STP and TUMF reprogramming request
enabling the projects to continue on schedule without further delays. Additionally, this
recommendation allows the federal STP reprogramming to be applied to a geographically
similar project that is already federalized.

RE: Perris Blvd. Rehabilitation — STPL & Regional TUMF
This memo is to request your consideration and support of the Cities of Perris
and 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
PA8sED and PS8sE 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.

Subject; Project ID RIV011205 - Perris Boulevard Rehabilitation from Ramona
Expressway to Perris 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 proposes 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
efficiently, 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 Perris
Valley Storm Drain Lateral "B" (Approx. 1 Mile). 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 SR60 / Nason St IC Modify ! Reconstruct IC & Nason St from
Elder to Fir: Realign EB, WB Exit plus EB & WB Entry Ramps, Add ES & WB Ramp

HOV Lns, & Add Aux. Lanes (EA 32300). This- project is currenty 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
$796,000 would greatly assist in the completion the interchange.
�j
$2.388 million (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 13%
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 — In 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. hi
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: Widen Perris Blvd 4 to 6
Lns (PVSD tat B to PVSU-Lat A) & 2 to 8 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 iocated 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
COMV.
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 from Perris Valley Storm Drain Lateral "6'
(COP/COMV city limits) to Cactus Avenue from 2 or 4 to ti 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 troth construct
Perris Boulevard to its ultimate width, Logical Terrnini and Independent utility should not
be a concern.
As mentioned earlier, a third project, the SR-60Mason Street interchange, located in
GOWN, 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

require periodic night-time work, freeway closures, limited ramp closures as well as
the elimination of the freeway shoulders during the duration of the project.
The City is requesting that the Commission provide construction FSP services for
the project. The Commission and California Highway Patrol staff met with
City staff to review the project's requirements. Althrkugh it has not been
determined if mid -day (8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) service would .be required for the
duration of the project, an estimated 3,650.5 hours of service is being proposed to
cover the 22-month construction period. The Commission's existing tow operator
for beat no. 4, Armada Towing, would provide the service. The agreement will
cover all costs associated with the additional service plus S% to cover the
Commission's administrative overhead.

Construction of Segment II was completed and accepted by Ca!trans on
October 23, 2006. The revegetation work for Segment II was to have been
initiated as soon as possible during the winter months to assist in the
reestablishment of the native plant communities.
The project was advertised starting on December 20, 2006, with the bid opening
on January 18, 2007. Four plan sets were sold and no bids were received on
January 18, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.
The project was re -advertised starting on January 24, 2007, with the original bid
opening date set for March 15, 2007. The project was posted on. theb/uebook.com
website and notification sent to landscape contractors in Riverside, San Bernardino,
and Orange Counties. The bid opening date was subsequently revised twice to
May 2007, and August 2007, Addendum No. 1 and No. 2 due to the lack of sales
of the bid package. Various contractors were contacted directly to generate
interest in the project and during these discussions it was determined that the
length of the plant establishment period was resulting in the lack ofinterest in the
project. The contractors stated that it was very expensive for them to obtain the
bonding to cover such a long period, and, due to the small size of the project,
it was not financially feasible. The length of the plant establishment period was
established by the regulatory agencies, which approved the Habitat Mitigation
Monitoring program, and it could not be reduced or modified. Staff and
legal counsel determined that modifications to the bonding requirements could be
made to address the contractors' concerns. Addendum No. 3 was issued
modifying the bonding requirements and extending the bid opening date to
September 6, 2007.
The project was reposted on theb/uebook.com and notifications were sent to over
200 landscape contractors in Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles,
San Diego, Imperial, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties.
Seven plan sets were sold and one bid was received on September 6, 2007 at
2:00 p.m.

Connecting Transit Service Performance
The Commission's role facilitating interconnectivity between Metrolink and
connecting transit services is essential to ongoing viability of system.
Such services address the needs of transit dependent riders as well as help mitigate
congestion and the necessity for expensive parking capacity at our stations.
The Commission is working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of transit
connections.
In order to meet these requirements, the Commission has worked with Metrolink
and local transit operators to offer connecting services to and from
Riverside County Metrolink stations at no cost for those with valid Metrolink
tickets. Within Riverside County, services include free transfers to routes operated
by Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), RTA's Commuter Link service and Corona
Cruiser. The following graphs show total monthly Metrolink transfer passenger
trips on each of the three services.

Introduction
Purpose
The Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan (MCGMAP or Action Plan)
represents an unprecedented partnership between county, regional, and state
transportation agencies to address the goods movement challenge faced by the
Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino,
San Diego, Ventura, and Imperial (Gt:e Figure 1). Collectively, these counties
comprise the United States' premiere international commerce gateway, handling
44 percent of the Nation's containerized imports. This preeminence reflects
Southern California's competitive advantage derived from its unique combination
of large deep -water ports, the California/Mexico border crossings, the West
Coast's largest population concentrations, one of the Nation's largest densities of
transloading, consolidation, and distribution warehouses, and intermodal facilities.
The region also has unparalleled connectivity by all-weather Interstate freeways
and transcontinental rail lines to all points within the United States.
However, the rising tide of goods moving through the region imposes multiple
mobility, environmental, and community impacts that degrade the region's quality
of life and threaten the continued growth of the Southern California freight movement industry on which most of the nation relies. The
MCGMAP identifies actions to be undertaken by the partner agencies, together with State and federal agencies and the private sector, to
maintain Southern California's role as a center for international trade, commerce and manufacturing by planning for freight growth while
simultaneously and aggressively mitigating environmental and local community impacts. The Action Plan sets forth a way to structure and
understand the issues and defines actions that should be taken to address infrastructure needs, environmental concerns, and community
impacts within the context of that structure. It incorporates and builds on existing studies and initiatives already in progress, and from them
develops an integrated, comprehensive, regional approach.
IllThis Executive Summary provides an overview of the region's goods movement challenges, the MCGMAP vision, principles, plan approach,
and recommended actions. Also included are the lists of goods movement projects needed to maintain mobility in the face of forecasted
demand. Specific and detailed information is contained within the topical chapters of the Action Plan. Additional information is also
provided within the contents of technical appendices and memoranda (Tech Memos) prepared throughout the course of this effort, which
are available on the project website (http://www.metro.net/mcgmap).
Multi -County. Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
M'CGMAP -: The Master Plan for Goods
Movement in Southern ;California
The Action Plan is the master plan for goods movement in Southern California and is intended to be used as a guide in preparation of
state, regional, and local transportation plans. The objectives of the MCGMAP are to develop strategies that:1) Address the goods
movement infrastructure capacity needs of the region; 2) reduce goods movement emissions to help achieve air quality goals; and 3)
improve the quality of life and community livability for Southern California residents. The Action Plan is regional in scope, so that the
Plan's analyses of potential strategies and investments are at a corridor rather than a local or project -specific level. While detailed
project -level analyses were not part of this effort, they are nevertheless critical and will beicbnducted as part of subsequent project
development efforts. The MCGMAP is intended to be a living document that will be revised and updated when major changes occur
and if resources are available.
MCGMAP Partner Agency Roles
Goods movement is a diverse industry with abroad and disparate group of public and private sector stakeholders, each with its own
roles and responsibilities. The MCGMAP partners are the transportation and planning agencies that co -manage the development
of the Action Plan: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority,Riverside
County Transportation Commission, San Bernardino Associated Governments, San Diego Association' of Governments, Southern
California Association of Governments, Ventura County Transportation Commission, and Caltrans Districts 7, 8, 11, and 12. The
MCGMAP partners plan, fund, maintain, operate, construct and implement multi -modal transportation projects and influence the
goods movement system through the regional planning and programming of funds to transportation projects.
Other organizations, such as the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, have authority to plan and construct transportation and facility
improvements within the Ports' jurisdiction, while the South Coast Air Quality Management District develops and implements plans to
improve the region's air quality. Decisions regarding land use, arterial improvements and the permitting of warehouses and transloading
centers are made by local municipalities.
Regional, state, and federal agencies have varying regulatory authorities over the trucking and rail industries, but the MCGMAP
partners have little ability to regulate the operations, business practices, or pollutant emissions of the private sector goods movement
operators, and no authority to regulate shippers and ocean carriers. As a result, the MCGMAP partners have focused primarily on
goods movement infrastructure while acknowledging the essential roles to be played by the regulatory agencies, the Ports Clean Air
Action Plan, and public or private technology initiatives.
Given their defined roles and responsibilities, the MCGMAP partners cannot fully implement many of the plan's recommended strate-
gies on their own. Therefore, to fully realize the benefits of this plan, continued collaboration and consensus building among the MC-
GMAP partners and other public and private sector stakeholders will be critical.

Movement in `Southern California
Simultaneous and Continuous Improvement Figure 2: MCGMAP Simultaneous
•
An Overarching Strategy and Continuous Approach
The vision of the Action Plan -a cleaner and healthier environment,
alternative mobility strategies, and fair -share investment
approaches - must be implemented through simultaneous and
continuous improvement of the environment and infrastructure.
Figure 2 depicts the concept and importance of a simultaneous
and continuous approach. Environmental mitigation, including
significant cleanup of emissions from ships, trains, and trucks,
is critical to reduce the impact of existing and increased freight
flows and to reach the region's air quality attainment targets.
Expanded marine terminals, and inter -modal, rail, and highway
infrastructure are needed to accommodate the growing freight
volume. The freight growth that is accommodated through
these actions provides the economic base for public and private
investment in infrastructure and the environmental cleanup.
The vision of the MCGMAP is to implement these elements in
parallel - capacity, investment, and mitigation - each of which is
necessary for the other to succeed.
Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
The project partners developed four core mandates and six implementation principles to provide the guiding framework for the develop-
ment of the MCGMAP.
CORE MANDATES
ENVIRONMENT: Avoid, Reduce, and Mitigate Environmental, Community, and Health Impacts
Environmental and community impacts must receive equal attention in the implementation of solutions.
MOBILITY: Promote the Safe and Efficient Movement of All Transportation Modes and Reduce Congestion
Existing and projected traffic growth will result in the significant deterioration of the region's highway and rail system's.performance ca-
pabilities. The region's transportation system presents significant safety concerns for the public, particularly at -grade crossings and truck
accidents, and increasing truck traffic in neighborhoods.
ECONOMY: Ensure the Economic Well -Being of the Region and the State
Goods movement is an important segment of the MCGMAP region and the U.S. trade economy. Goods movement and the associated in-
dustries (e.g., logistics) provide direct and indirect benefits to the region's economy. Each new logistics job supports two new jobs in the
economy.
FUNDING: Secure the Region's Fair Share of Public and Private Funds for Investment in the Freight Transportation System
Although the region's goods movement system serves markets within and outside of California, these markets and associated system us-
ers are not paying their fair share to offset the costs of regional freight congestion and related health impacts. While still advocating for
dedicated federal and state funding sources, user -based public -private funding arrangements must be a major component of the financing
for critical projects.
Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
IMPLEMENTATION PRINCIPLES
The MCGMAP builds upon the principles set forth in the Statewide Goods Movement Action Plan (January 2007). The following represent
implementation principles specific to MCGMAP:
1. Guideline: The Action Plan is the master plan for goods movement in Southern California and is intended to be used as guidance in the
preparation of state, regional, and local transportation plans. The Action Plan can also be a tool for local jurisdictions to make informed land
use decisions.
2. Investment: Investments in goods movement infrastructure will be implemented on a simultaneous and continuous basis with invest-
ments in environmental/community mitigation.
3. Cost Distribution: A fair share of the cost of the impacts of goods movement on transportation infrastructure, environment, and com-
munities must be borne by those benefiting from it.
4. Management: The need for institutional mechanisms for financing or implementing projects, will be defined as such needs are clearly
identified.
S. Public Benefit: Projects supported by public/private partnerships and private projects supported by public funding should demonstrate
a clear public benefit.
6. Land Use Compatibility: Partner agencies shall encourage land use decisions that will result in buffers - both open and developed - that
separate goods movement infrastructure and sensitive receptors such as residential areas, schools, and hospitals.

Draft Executive Summary
CHALLENGES FOR THE NATIONAL TRADE GATEWAY
Currently, the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles (San Pe-
dro Bay ports) accommodate more than 40 percent of all
international containerized cargo into and out of the U.S.
and were ranked 5th in the world in 2005 (see Figure 3). All
indications point to a future demand in international freight
flows that will exceed even the most aggressive efforts by the
ports, railroads, and transportation agencies to accommo-
date it. Container volumes through the San Pedro Bay ports
are projected to nearly triple from 15.7 million TEUs (twenty -
foot equivalent units) in 2006 to 42.5 million TEUs by 2030.
These forecasts are constrained by anticipated port capac-
ity at a level, significantly below the TEU demand projected
for the ports in federally sponsored analyses. A large portion
of this trade is simply "through -traffic," degrading air qual-
ity and impacting the region's quality of life, while providing
limited economic benefit to the region. Approximately 77%
of the container -based goods handled by the San Pedro Bay
ports are consumed outside the Southern California region.
Only 23°% are consumed within the region. Freight flowing
through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which to-
taled $256 billion in 2005, reaches every state in the conti-
nental U.S. as shown in Figure 4.

Trucks traversing the California/Mexico border crossing area utilize three primary ports of entry (POE) - Otay Mesa, Tecate, and Calexico
East. Mexico is California's number one export market and is fastest expanding component of the San Diego regional economy. The Otay
Mesa -Mesa de Otay Port of Entry is the busiest commercial border crossing between California and Mexico, handling more than 1.4 million
trucks and $28.6 billion worth of goods in both directions in 2006. This trade represents the third highest dollar value of trade among all
land border crossings between the United States and Mexico. Another $1.2 billion in merchandise and more than 140,000 trucks crossed at
the Tecate -Tecate POE. For Imperial County, the Calexico East/Calexico II POE processed $11.3 billion in goods and 614,000 trucks in 2006.
Nearly 80% of these truck trips stay within the state.

Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
The region is faced with multiple mobility, environmental, community impact, funding, and economic challenges:
Mobility Challenge - The study area's ports, airports, rail lines and inter -modal terminals have existing capacity constraints that undermine
the efficiency and productivity of the system as a whole. Furthermore, the existing roadway and rail networks are reaching capacity. As
a result, the system today is susceptible to disruptions to the movement of goods, causing delays that reduce the quality of services and
increase costs to consumers. The mobility challenge is further exacerbated by the fact that the roadways, and rail networks that accom-
modate the movement of goods are often the same as those utilized by motorists and passengers for the movement of people.
Modeling for the SCAG region (defined as Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Ventura, Riverside, and Imperial Counties) forecasts that
truck vehicle miles of travel (VMT) will increase by over 110% by 2030, growing from a level of 22.4 million VMT in 2000 to 48.4 million
VMT by 2030. Some freeways in the region currently handle up to 40,000 trucks per day, and it is projected that these freeways may have
to handle up to 80,000 trucks per day by 2025. As a result of the growth in passenger and truck traffic, the highway system's performance
will deteriorate significantly. In fact, average speeds will drop from 35.9 mph in 2005 to 31.9 mph in 2030, resulting an average of 5.4 million
hours of delay daily for all traffic. Furthermore, freight rail volume is projected to increase from 112 trains per day in 2000 to 250 trains per
day in 2025 along the BNSF and Union Pacific mainline rail network. The current and future mobility challenges for the region are daunting
and require immediate action as well as proactive steps to address future needs.
Environmental and Community Challenges - The goods movement system directly affects quality of life. This includes traffic congestion,
truck intrusion into neighborhoods, safety, land use incompatibility, poor air quality and related health impacts, restricted mobility and
delay at rail crossings, noise and vibration impacts, and visual impacts.
The dimensions of these impacts are staggering when viewed within the context of Southern California's designation as a non -attainment
region for air quality. The use of bunker and diesel fuels, predominantly for the transport of freight by ocean going vessels, is a large con-
tributor to the deterioration of the region's air quality. Furthermore, new health studies are drawing ever stronger conclusions about the
association of air pollution with public health effects such as asthma, reduced lung function, and cancer risk that target the most vulnerable
in the port communities and around other logistics centers - children. Implications of these findings are reflected in the estimated public
eealth impacts summarized by California Air Resource Board (CARB) in Table 1.
Solving the challenge of moving freight is greatly complicated by the knowledge that failure to convert large proportions of the railroad en-
gines and truck fleet to low -emitting or zero -emitting engines in the near future will result in missing the regional emission reduction targets
needed by 2014 to meet the federal annual PM 2.5 standard, and by 2019 to meet the federal 24-hour PM 2.5 standard. Failure to meet the
budget for the State Implementation Plan for air quality could result in a cessation of the flow of federal funds for highway projects. Thus,
mobility and environmental challenges are heavily intertwined.

Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
Funding Challenges- The goods movement system is significantly underfunded.
Projects and programs identified in this Action Plan show funding needs on the
order of $50 billion over the next 30 years. Despite accommodating most of the
nation's international trade volumes, Southern California has received a dispro-
portionately low share of federal and state funding for goods movement. More-
over, the private sector's role in funding regional and nationally significant goods
movement projects to date has been limited.
Economic Challenges - Despite its impacts, international trade provides significant
benefits to the region. The logistics industry provides both direct and indirect
benefits to the region's economy. Economic studies show that logistics activity
is responsible for $90.7 billion, or 6.6%, of the nearly $1.4 trillion in economic
activity annually in Southern California. The indirect or induced impact repre-
sents another $170 billion or 12.4%. Each logistics job supports 2.2 new jobs in
the economy. This contribution to the economy is significant and is important to
achieving the MCGMAP vision.
Conversely, the economic benefits of goods movement can be negatively impact-
ed by delays and congestion. At the Otay Mesa and Tecate international border
crossings, inadequate and aging infrastructure and more stringent security re-
quirements caused the U.S. and Mexico binational economy to lose $3.9 billion
and about 21,900 jobs during 2007. The border delays in freight movement result
in increased transportation costs and interruptions in manufacturing and delivery
cycles.
In order to maintain the economic vitality of the region, the economic benefits of
goods movement must be leveraged and expanded. One of the challenges for the
region is to translate a portion of these economic benefits into a stream of funding
that addresses the infrastructure improvements made necessary by the increased
movement of goods within and through Southern California. In addition, the eco-
nomic growth attainable through increased logistics activity is needed to finance
the cleanup of environmental problems that have been allowed to accumulate.

Currently, goods passing through the Southern California seaports and land ports of entry with Mexico belong to one of three modal "market
segments":1) On -dock and off-dock/near dock; 2) distribution/delivery; and 3), transload. By identifying the modes of travel for goods, a
market segmented approach can be developed that will allow for the region to better target improvements and funding sources for goods
movement projects and associated environmental and community impact mitigation measures.
Understanding the Market Segments .
Figure 5 depicts the three primary market segments. Note that the specific percentages listed may vary on a daily basis and do not account
for domestic goods movement, which represents a significant share of truck VMT in Southern California.
- Direct Shipment from on-dockand.off-dock/near dock- Approximately 40%of containers passing through the Ports of Los Ange-
les/Long Beach leave the region by rail utilizing either on -dock rail at the marine terminals or off-dock/near dock rail inter -modal
facilities. These goods are destined for areas outside the MCGMAP region, including the central and eastern United States. As
a result, funding sources for goods movement can be better targeted since the direct benefits to shippers and the nation can be
clearly.shown. This includes additional state and federal goods movement funding, as well as container fees levied on shippers
who receive direct benefits from improved efficiency of the goods movement system.
- Transload- Approximately 37%of containers passing through the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach are either trucked directly out
of the region or leave the region after an intermediate stop at a warehouse or distribution center. These goods may arrive at the
ports as a single container, be transported to an inland distribution center by truck, be broken down into smaller units while at a
warehouse or distribution center, then loaded onto either truck or rail to be moved to their final destinations. Such goods use more
specific routes through the MCGMAP region and provide better opportunities for targeting of specific routes, users, or impacts
relative to local distribution/delivery. This includes truck replacement/retrofit programs, the development of separated corridors
that move between clustered warehouse and distribution centers, and concepts such as inland ports and virtual container yards
(yard operations to reduce the number of unproductive container truck trips).
- Distribution/Delivery - Approximately 23% of containers passing through the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach stay within the
Southern California region, with the associated benefits and impacts. Because the origins and destinations for these goods are as
dispersed as the people and communities that rely on them, the trucks transporting these goods use various roadways and routes
for travel and blend into all other vehicular traffic within the region. Domestic goods movement, such as local delivery, construc-
tion, manufacturing, and service/utility trucking exhibit similar travel patterns. Because the users and shippers of this modal
market are so widely varied, it is difficult to target individual users for funding without ignoring other users. Traditional funding
sources for roadway improvements and alternative funding approaches for roadway tolling or congestion pricing will be needed to
address this market segment.

Action Plan Framework
The MCGMAP is structured around tour sets of actions, each of which is related to a
component or segment of the goods movement market. Pages 10 and 11 discuss the
concept of market segmentation of the goods movement flows within and through
Southern California. It is a concept for structuring the problem in a way that lends
itself to more targeted and cost-effective solutions. The three basic market seg-
ments of freight flows are:.
• Direct intermodal rail shipment from on -dock and off-dock/near-dock to lo-
cations outside the region
• Transload (regional trips with an intermediate stopping point)
• Local distribution/delivery by trucks
The MCGMAP strategy distributes four "action sets" across the three basic market
segments. This represents the basic structure upon which MCGMAP is built. The
four action sets include:
1. Accelerate regional environmental mitigation
2. Relieve congestion and improve mobility
3. Improve operational efficiency
4. Develop equitable public/private funding strategy
Table 2 illustrates the core elements of the MCGMAP strategy by identifying the
types of actions appropriate to address the needs of each market segment. In some
cases, such as the environmental strategies, similar actions cut across all the mar-
ket segments, but the appropriate source of funding from which to draw resources
may vary.

Accelerate
Environmental Mitigation
Goods movement imposes significant costs on community livability and the environment. Therefore, the MCGMAP partners consider air
quality improvements and regional environmental mitigation an intrinsic part of a regional goods movement system.
The Action Plan recognizes that a regional approach is necessary, with the focus on cleaning up emissions at the source (i.e. the powertrains
of ships; locomotives, trucks, and harbor equipment) not one based simply on project -by -project mitigation.The simultaneous and continu-
ous implementation of environmental mitigation strategies is a leading imperative for this ActkIn Plan and will require action at two levels:
1) Region -wide approaches; and 2) project -specific mitigation measures.
Region -wide Approaches
A systems approach is required to reduce the air quality, community and environmental impacts of goods movement flowing into and
through the region. This approach has three components - acceleration of the funding and implementation of air quality plans already
prepared, strengthening of fuel and engine standards, and institutional policies.
• Acceleration of funding and implementation of air quality plans - Some of the nation's most aggressive clean air improvement plans are
now in place in Southern California: the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), the 2007 South Coast Air Quality Manage-
ment Plan (AQMP), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Emission Reduction Plan. The MCGMAP supports these plans
and proposes to accelerate the implementation of the strategies in those plans. Accelerating the environmental cleanup from goods
movement sources is one of the principle themes of the environmental actions in the MCGMAP.
• Strengthening of fuel and engine standards - Regulations that promote the use of clean fuels and engine standards/technologies should
be strengthened beyond those currently proposed. This will need to be supported by accelerated research and development of cleaner
technologies by private industry, and by implementation assistance from state and federal regulatory agencies. These actions by pri-
vate industry and regulatory agencies will allow regional and local strategies and incentive programs in the CAAP and AQMD to have
greater effect.
• Institutional policies - Cooperative and coordinated institutional and development policies enacted by local jurisdictions and the
development industry could result in environmental and community benefits. Such policies could include: 1) Designating quiet zones
for rail corridors; 2) amending zoning and land use regulations to better avoid non -compatible land uses (separating goods movement
activities from residential areas; buffering); and 3) establishing mitigation banking and/or development of pooled funds for mitigation
(e.g., land use changes, purchasing green space along freight corridors, diesel truck retrofits, funds for health clinics, etc.). The partner
agencies have embarked on a collaborative effort with community stakeholders and the private sector to develop such guidelines (see
first bullet under specific actions).
Project Specific Mitigation Measures.
While the proposed broader regional strategies will result in significant reductions in emissions for the study area as a whole, project spe-
cific mitigation measures are often most effective at the local level, resulting in more tangible benefits for local neighborhoods and com-
munities. Therefore, the Action Plan supports the use of project -specific revenue mechanisms to help fund mitigation efforts. Examples
include:
• Use of best available technology and best practices for project construction and operational impacts.
• Compliance with natural resource statutes (e.g., federal and state Endangered Species Acts and Clean Water Acts, Migratory Bird
Treaty Act)
• Inclusion of "smart" design and good planning principles, such as landscaped buffering, noise barriers, exterior light shielding and
positioning, separation of incompatible land uses, and wetlands protection.

Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
Relieve Congestion
and Improve Mobility
Region -wide congestion relief and increased mobility cannot be achieved without significant investment in infrastructure, coupled with
improvements in efficiency and productivity. Utilizing the market segmentation approach, various crucial capital improvements were iden-
tified for each of the modes involved in the movement of goods.
Increased Intermodal and Mainline Rail Capacity
Increases in mainline rail capacity and on -dock rail improvements at the ports are critical to zne efficient transport of intermodal freight
bound for destinations outside the region. The Action Plan recommends implementation of rail improvements in accordance with the San
Pedro Bay Ports Master Plans as well as triple tracking the BNSF mainline from Los Angeles to San Bernardino and double tracking the two
Union Pacific corridors. These improvements must be done in concert with the grade separations and safety improvements outlined in the
multi -county Alameda Corridor East (ACE) Trade Corridor program. Implementing the mainline rail capacity enhancements together with
the grade separation of railroad crossings can maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness while also providing an opportunity to maximize
funding from federal and state sources and accelerate the delivery of the needed improvements. Grade separation of the rail -to -rail Colton
crossing as well as other rail -roadway grade separations near the the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, Hueneme, and San Diego, and at
other key Los Angeles County locations are also critical.
Improved Highways/Roadways
The Plan recommends three tiers of highway actions. The first tier includes major
improvements on roadways and bridges in proximity to the ports/border crossings
and other major freight activity centers (examples include the Gerald Desmond Bridge
replacement project, the SR-47 Expressway, 1-110 connectors, High Desert Corridor,
SR-78 Brawley Bypass, and the San Diego Border Corridors). Tier two is comprised
of corridor -level investigation of alternative technologies, separated mass flow appli-
cations (e.g., the 1-710 Corridor Improvements) as well as dedicated freight guide-
ways/truck lanes with the use of clean engine trucks and/or clean Long Combination
Vehicles (LCVs), if such vehicles could be authorized to operate on dedicated facilities
onCalifornia safely with minimal impacts on surrounding communities. Further con-
ideration of LCVs will require a detailed analysis of potential capital and operational
impacts. This tier focuses on new technologies as well as new application of methods
not widely used in California. Consequently, these projects will require additional
detailed analysis before they can proceed. Tier three projects encompass capital and
operational improvements that in addition to assisting with the efficient movement of
goods, are also beneficial to mixed flow traffic. Such improvements include modifica-
tion of key freeway -to -freeway interchanges to alleviate operational and geometric
bottlenecks, addition of auxiliary lanes, shoulder improvements and other safety and
operational improvements on roadways heavily used by trucks.
Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
17
Any comprehensive strategy to address mobility, improve predict-
ability and enhance safety needs to address system and corridor
capacity. This includes improvements to the operational efficiency
of the region's goods movement system. The operational efficiency
of various segments of the goods movement system can be im-
proved based on specific modal market segments.
Improve Marine Terminal Productivity, Truck
Turn Times, and Intermodal Operations
In order to meet the future demand, the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach will increase their operational productivity from the
existing level of 4,700 TEUs per acre per year to almost 11,000
TEUs.per acre per year. 'The current focus is on increasing on -
dock rail use and extending hours of operation to off-peak time
periods (PIERPASS). Additional strategies include the transport of
unsorted containers from the ports to inland railyards separated
from residential areas for the creation of destination trains, as well
as introducing new technologies such as optical character recogni-
tion (OCR) and radio frequency identification tags'(RFID), and the
evaluation of the feasibility of a virtual container yard to reduce the
number of unproductive empty container truck trips.
Improve Highway Operations
Increased implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS), weigh -in -motion (WIM) systems, highway pricing such as
Open Road Tolling (ORT) collection systems, improved incident
management, and enforcement of driver and operating restric-
tions can improve highway operations. ITS solutions allow for truck
routing, traffic control during construction or maintenance, as well
as the shifting of truck movement to off-peak times. WIM bypass
systems are an effective means of traffic management in the prox-
imity of weigh stations. The system helpsmaintain normal traffic
flow and prevents traffic backup onto the mainline freeway result-
ing from commercial vehicles entering and exiting weigh stations.
Open Road Tolling allows users to travel at highway speeds on the
mainline while their tolls are collected electronically overhead, re-
ducing congestion and travel times for passenger and commercial
vehicles. California has established a statewide standard for use at
all toll roads and bridges utilizing the "FasTrak" device.

Develop Equitable Public/;
Private: Funding 5040jy
,a s
Funding and implementation of the recommended actions, projects, and programs and their associated mitigations will require a coordinat-
ed effort by the private sector and public sector at all levels of government. It is critical that all beneficiaries of goods movement participate
in funding infrastructure improvements as well as environmental mitigation. Beyond its value to the regional economy, the existing border
crossings and commercial trade with Mexico are also critical to the regional and bi-national economies. Cross -border goods have origins
and destinations to California/regional retail markets and manufacturers to shipping beyond California through the San Pedro Bay Ports and
the Inland Empire Rail/Intermodal distribution centers. �}
To illustrate the shortfall in public funding, the Alameda Corridor -East Trade Corridor, which would provide much needed grade -separation
projects to reduce congestion and emissions throughout the region, has an 83%funding shortfall - $3.8 billion out of the $4.4 billion total.
Maximize the Study Area's Fair Share of State and Federal Funds
Federal assistance is essential to compensate for the disproportionate local and regional costs for the goods movement infrastructure (and
associated regional environmental and community impacts and necessary mitigations) provided to the rest of the nation. The next national
transportation funding reauthorization legislation must recognize the importance of funding a national goods movement system, establish
appropriate levels of federal funding support, and provide further opportunity for flexibility in the use of federal funds. The four freight -
related programs of key relevance are 1) Projects of National and Regional Significance, 2) National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement
Program, 3) Freight Intermodal Distribution Pilot Program, and 4) Truck Parking Facilities Program. Though state and federal funds are
needed, any funding for private infrastructure to increase capacity and facilitate the throughput of goods must ensure that public dollars
are used in return for public benefits, not merely for benefits to the private logistics system. The development of public -private benefit as-
sessments among the private beneficiaries and public agencies is one method to address this issue.
Private Sector Contribution
Recognizing funding shortfalls for infrastructure projects and the fact that private industry benefits from an improved goods movement
system, the MCGMAP recommends efforts to secure private revenue sources including user fees. This could be done through pending leg-
islative efforts or by other means such as ongoing efforts by the San Pedro Bay ports to negotiate cargo fees for infrastructure and environ-
oental mitigation projects. The types of user fees that should be considered include congestion pricing, port -assessed cargo or container
es, industry -supported programs similar to PIERPASS, and VMT-based taxes or gas taxes for trucks. The Action Plan addresses the need
convert the value of improvements to the study area's goods movement system into revenue for improving infrastructure and mitigating
impacts. Federal and state funds require local/private matching funds, thus private sector contributions will add strength to applications
for leveraging federal and state funds.
Stakeholders in San Diego and Baja California, Mexico are investigating the potential for use of public funds together with private financ-
ing and toll fees for a new border crossing, highways, and federal inspection staffing at Otay Mesa East, California / Mesa de Otay II, Baja
California. Similar pursuits for new border crossings or expansions are also projected along the Imperial County, California/ Mexicali, Baja
California border.

This section briefly describes the approach to evaluating goods movement projects and strategies. This approach included an analysis of
three Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach container volume growth and two levels of infrastructure investment scenarios, a qualitative evalua-
tion of goods movement projects/strategies, and a detailed analysis of twelve bundles of projects, including regional truck lanes.
Analysis of growth scenarios
Four scenarios encompassing three levels of Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach container volurdpgrowth and two levels of infrastructure in-
vestment were analyzed to determine their economic impact. Table 3 provides a summary of the employment impacts of each scenario. In
addition, an attempt was made to estimate the regional mobility impacts of the four scenarios; however, due to data limitations, the regional
transportation demand model does not adequately project the linkage between regional truck trips and Port container volumes. Conse-
quently, the model could only be used for scenarios land 4.

Evaluation of goods movement strategies
A qualitative evaluation of goods movement projects/strategies was also conducted. This analysis grouped a comprehensive list of 249
projects/strategies (the complete list is included in the Action Plan) into 15 categories of projects ranging from increased highway and rail
capacity to changes in operational and institutional practices. The 15 categories of projects were then qualitatively evaluated using 26
evaluation criteria. For more detailed information on this analysis, please refer to Technical Memorandum 6A. One of the 15 categories,
construction of dedicated truck lanes, was modeled using the SCAG Travel Demand Forecasting Model. This analysis modeled 12 bundles
(nine dedicated truck lane bundles, bundles 2 through 9) and estimated potential cost which was kept constant at a cost per mile basis,
quantified truck volumes, the number of hours of delay reduced for both autos and trucks, the number of warehouse acres in proximity to
each corridor, the number of schools within 1/3 mile of the bundle, and the number of residential acres within 1/2 mile of the bundle. Results
from this analysis are summarized in Table 4.
When interpreting the analysis in Table 4, please note the following:
• Due to the limitations of the analytical tools available, all bundles were modeled using a container forecast volume of 42.5 million
TEUs by 2030.
• All analyses were completed from a regional perspective. Analyses were completed with the understanding that further future de-
tailed corridor -specific analyses would be required prior to project implementation. Future detailed analysis should quantify factors
not included as part of this effort, such as design, right-of-way considerations including number of displaced properties, impact on
commercial properties adjacent to corridors, etc.
• The macro -level analysis of dedicated truck lane systems, advanced technology and other bundles rendered preliminary information
that also warrants further investigation and outreach to affected communities to be conclusive.
Further information about the scenarios, project bundles and other model criteria and findings can be found in Chapter 6 of the Action Plan
and the technical appendices.

Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
Project Descriptions and Lists
Project Identification Process
In support of the actions and vision, and market segmentation approach, the partner agencies identified a regional and county specific list
of projects or strategies, presented in Tables 5 and 6. Many of these projects can be implemented in the short-term while others require
additional planning and project development. The projects on these lists are considered essential; neither list should be viewed as taking
precedence over the other but rather as complementary efforts to address the effects of goals movement in the region. Given the multi
county nature of this study, the majority of the regional and county Goods Movement Projects/Strategies wilt require coordination among
the multi -county partners and stakeholders.
Table 5, the "Regional Goods Movement Projects/Strategies' represents a short-term to long-term vision for improving the system with pri-
mary focus on region -wide projects that provide environmental mitigation or ground access (rail, highway, and intermodal) improvements
to and from the international gateways and the multi -county goods movement distribution centers and corridors (existing and proposed)
within the Southern California region, (i.e., the San Pedro Bay Ports, the Port of Hueneme, Inland Empire Rail/Intermodal Facilities, the Al-
ameda Corridor and the California/Mexico Ports of Entry). This system is also graphically depicted and further described in Pages 18 and
19.
Table 6, the "County -Specific Goods Movement System Projects/Strategies' includes improvements that are located within a single county
and connect with the regional goods movement system of corridors and distribution centers and the statewide goods movement system as
identified by Caltrans. Table 6 comprises a list of efforts that 1) Support the regional projects in Table 5; 2) mitigate environmental and/or
community impacts in a shorter horizon; 3) correct short-term system deficiencies; and 4) are recommended in advance or in conjunction
with the regional projects based on local needs and project readiness. The County -Specific list, in essence, fills in the goods movement
network.
As can be seen in the two project lists, an investment of over $50 Billion over the next 25 years is necessary to accommodate the projected
growth of freight within the region and to mitigate related impacts. This will require funding commitments from all levels of government as
well as the private sector. In addition to this list, a series of actions focused on reducing congestion and environmental impacts are identi-
fied in the Action Plan. Each of the County chapters also contains additional projects, strategies and vision for localized improvements
identified for future implementation.

Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan
Draft Executive Summary
The MCGMAP is not an end point. Rather, it is the beginning of a more comprehensive regional approach to keep freight moving within
and through the region and to reduce the environmental and community impacts caused by the movement of that freight. Going forward,
stakeholders will play an integral role in the next steps in the areas of partnership and advocacy, environmental and community impacts,
mobility and funding. Based on feedback from stakeholders and Action Plan recommendations, the MCGMAP project partners are commit-
ted to taking the following next steps:
�f
Partnership and Advocacy
• Implement the Southern California National Freight Gateway (SCNFG) Cooperation Agreement among federal, state, regional, and
other implementing agencies to maintain dialogue to address the challenges outlined in MCGMAP.
• Request the incorporation of MCGMAP strategies and actions into other state, regional and local plans.
• Continue to convene multi -county meetings to monitor the progress on the Action Plan and provide annual reports to the CEOs and
to the boards of the partner agencies.
• Support and propose legislation that:1) Provides funding mechanisms for goods movement projects/strategies; and 2) improves mo-
bility and facilitates regional multi -county goods movement goals without undermining local community priorities and quality of life.
• Support groups such as Mobility 21 and the Coalition for America's Gateways and Trade Corridors in developing dedicated federal and
state goods movement funding sources.
• Continue to work closely with all stakeholders including the Councils of Governments, community groups, environmental regulatory
agencies and academia.
• Seek goods movement and logistics industry involvement throughout planning and project development phases
Environmental and Community Impacts
• Through the SCNFG Cooperation Agreement and other related activities, develop a specific set of feasible actions to accelerate
implementation of the strategies contained in the various air quality and emission reduction plans that are within the scope of respon-
sibility of the project partners. -
• In partnership with CARB, air districts, the logistics industry, and local governments, initiate an activity to generate public and/or
411 private funds to accelerate implementation of air quality improvement strategies being undertaken by these and other entities, includ-
ing strategies. Examples may include: Container fees that provide a revenue stream to fund emissions reduction projects, impact fees
paid by entities contributing to the goods -related air quality problem, supplemental transportation infrastructure project mitigation
(to add to an air quality funding pool), mitigation banking, market -based strategies, and other vehicle -based fees commensurate with
the impacts attributed to those vehicles.
• Initiate the Environmental Justice Analysis and Outreach for the MCGMAP in Fall 2007. This effort will develop a guidebook for local
jurisdictions and the private sector to use in avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating the effects of goods movement infrastructure and to
assist local jurisdictions make informed land use decisions.
Mobility
• Initiate a study to investigate the linkage between industry supply chain trends and port_and trade related transportation patterns
and movements.
• Continue project development efforts, including planning, design, funding, and implementation, of the regional and county -specific
projects listed in the Action Plan, including the mitigation of the impacts of those projects.
• Initiate a Regionally Significant Transportation Investment Study (RSTIS) to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a Dedicated
Freight Guideway System/Regional Truck Lanes (I-710 From Port of Long Beach to SR-60; East-West Corridor between 1-710 and 1-15;
and I-1S to Victorville) inclusive of potential non -freeway implementation
• Initiate localized studies, as appropriate
Funding
• Pursue new avenues of goods movement funding for projects, including the region's fair share of Proposition 16 Trade Corridor Im-
provement Funds, other state appropriations, federal funds, and private sector contributions consistent with the impacts of the ben-
efits they derive from the use of the transportation system
• Continue fair share and user fee discussions with private sector stakeholders to seek their support in addressing goods movement
impacts and filling funding gaps. Develop a clear and concise message on this subject and communicate this to the public, policy and
funding decision makers at all levels of government
• Establish structures to manage user fees and revenue that are acceptable to both public and private sector stakeholders.

SUBJECT:
State and Federal Legislative Update
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the State and Federal Legislative
Update as an information item.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Goods Movement Issue Receiving Widespread Attention
California Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency Secretary Dale Bonner
signaled his intention to make goods movement an immediate priority for the state
during the September 20 meeting of the California Transportation Commission
(CTC). During that meeting, he requested that the CTC adopt a preliminary Trade
Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) program of projects as spelled out in
Proposition 1 B by the end of the calendar year. Proposition 1 B provides $2 billion
for goods movement related projects.
Since the September 20 announcement, the pace of critical meetings and issues
has increased rapidly. On October 12, Secretary Bonner participated in a signing
ceremony with more than 20 agencies on a pact to work together to address
Southern California's overall goods movement needs. The Commission approved
the partnership agreement in July and Chair Terry Henderson was in attendance to
sign it.
Immediately after the signing ceremony, Secretary Bonner made his way to
Downtown Riverside for the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce Legislative
Forum that also included presentations from Congressman Ken Calvert,
Senator Bob Dutton and Assemblymen Kevin Jeffries and John Benoit. Business
leaders who were in attendance were quite clear in their advocacy for grade
separation funding for Riverside County, and Secretary Bonner noted the position
without making a commitment.
Agenda Item 10
85
What he did commit to was a series of public meetings throughout the state during
the week of October 15 and ending on October 22. A San Bernardino meeting held
on October 19 provided the Commission and local officials with an opportunity to
re-emphasize the importance of grade separations in the area. Additional meetings
on the topic were held in San Diego, Oakland, Long Beach, and Stockton.
TCIF will be the main focus of attention at the CTC meetings on October 24 in
Sacramento and November 7 in La Quinta. The current schedule calls for TCIF
project submittals by November 26 and for the CTC to adopt a program in
December with the objective to have funding set in the state budget for next year.
Local legislators are also focusing their attention on the issue by conducting field
hearings. United States Senator Barbara Boxer held a hearing in San Bernardino on
October 10 regarding the impact of diesel emissions caused by freight movement.
Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod has scheduled a meeting on the Colton Crossing on
October 22 and the Select Committee on Inland Empire Transportation Issues,
chaired by Assemblymember Wilmer Amina Carter, met on October 31.
Federal Update
While a Transportation Appropriations bill has been passed by both the House and
the Senate, little action has taken place in order to appoint a Conference
Committee to approve a final bill. The White House has already expressed its
displeasure regarding all kinds of appropriations bills, which will likely result in an
omnibus bill to keep the federal government running.

s Angeles Mines I Opinion November 7, 2oo7
More bond money for SoCal
As the state's import/export hub, Southern California deserves the
lion's share of transportation funds.
Last year, California voters approved nearly $2o billion in transportation bonds
via Proposition 1B, trusting that state officials would spend it on the most
worthwhile projects. That trust was eroded in February when the initial
distribution of highway funds bypassed a critical widening project for the 405
Freeway and earmarked only 12% to Los Angeles County, which contains nearly a
third of the state's population and has the nation's worst freeway congestion. The
405 money was eventually granted after a furious lobbying campaign, but now, as
the time nears to pass out $2 billion for speeding cargo between the state's ports
and distribution centers, there are troubling signs that L.A. and Southern
California are about to be snubbed again.
Today, the California Transportation Commission is slated to set the criteria for
how the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund will be spent. Insiders have long
complained that decision makers seem to be giving unreasonable weight to
projects in the Bay Area and Central Valley, which play a tangential role in
California's trade industry. Those complaints were justified last month when the
state Business, Transportation and Housing Agency submitted its proposed
criteria.
The agency's proposal makes no mention of the comparative size of a region's
ports or trade infrastructure. Its sole nod to regional fairness is a statement that
funds should be distributed based on "reasonable geographic balance." As a
source for this criterion, it cites a section of the government code created by
Proposition 1B. But it ignores the immediately preceding subsection of the code,
which states that funds should be allocated in a way that "balances the demands
of various ports (between large and small ports, as well as between seaports,
airports and land ports of entry)." Thus the agency is highlighting a part of the
code that calls for spreading the money across the state, while forgetting about
the part that calls for considering the size of an area's ports.
The Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex is the largest in the nation. It handles
more than 85% of the containerized cargo processed at California ports, and
Southern California's road and rail network carries 75% of all cargo exported
from the state. Trade is a key driver of our economy, but we pay a heavy price for
all this activity. Not only do cargo trucks jam our freeways, but an estimated
1,200 Southern Californians die prematurely every year because of pollution
generated by the goods -movement industry. By building more efficient rail
networks and other projects, the bond money could help reduce that pollution.
The state Transportation Commission isn't accustomed to allocating money for
goods movement. Its usual job is to divvy up funds for roads and freeways, which
it does based on a regional formula: 6o% goes to Southern California and 4o% to
the north. Applying the same formula to trade infrastructure would make no
sense. By rights, the trade corridor connected to the ports of L.A. and Long Beach
should get 85% of the bond money, given that they move 85% of the goods.
Anything significantly less would be inefficient and unfair.
If L.A. gets stiffed again on ,transportation bond money, it will destroy voter
confidence -- indeed, it would justify Angelenos never again supporting statewide
infrastructure bonds. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is hoping to put a major
water bond on the ballot, should make sure his appointees on the Transportation
Commission understand how disastrous that would be.

FIVE COUNTIES: Members want $1.7 billion in state bond funds assigned to
Southern California.
Ps Download story podcast
10:00 PM PST on Wednesday, November 7, 2007
By PHIL PITCHFORD
The Press -Enterprise
Five Riverside County railroad crossings are among the highest ranked transportation projects in Southern California, according to a
preliminary list generated by a multi -county group seeking to attract hundreds of millions of dollars in state bond funds.
Proposals from San Bernardino County, however, have not fared as well in early rankings from the Southern California Working Group.
Most of San Bernardino County's projects ended at the bottom of the list of 42 projects based on how soon the rail improvements and
freeway widenings can be built.
The working group, made up of Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties, is seeking to ensure that Southern
California receives more than 80 percent of the $2 billion in upcoming trade corridor improvement money from Prop. 18. voters approved
the measure in November.
Such a $1.7 billion windfall would be a significant change in the way the state usually divides transportation money, with 60 percent in
Southern California and 40 percent spent in the northern part of the state.
Inland transportation officials stress, however, that the list is only the first attempt to quantify where state money should be spent. How
soon an agency can start construction on a specific project is far from the only criteria that will be used, they say.
"The fact that projects might be high or low on the list is not relevant at this point," said Deborah Barmack, executive director of San
Bernardino Associated Governments. "That list is simply an illustration that will change."
John Standiford, a spokesman for the Riverside County Transportation Commission, agreed, saying: "That is not a priority list."
Both said the final rankings of such projects likely will change once the California Transportation Commission decides how much weight to
give to as many as 15 factors, including air quality, noise and ability to reduce congestion. The state commission may examine the criteria
for distributing the funds as it wraps up a two-day meeting today in La Quinta.
Either way, however, some fear the Inland region will lose out in the funding race to larger counties, especially Los Angeles County, when
funding decisions are made as soon as next month.
"I think LA is going to play their trump cards," said Riverside City Councilman Steve Adams, a member of the county transportation
commission. "When push comes to shove when the actual dollars are on the table, you're going to see LA break off on its own."

If that is going to happen, it did not on Wednesday. Instead, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, D-Los Angeles, sent a letter to the state
transportation commission, urging the group to distribute the bulk of the bond money to Southern California.
The approach favored by the five -county working group is 'persuasive and should, I hope, be determinative of the commission's direction,"
Nunez wrote. He was one of several Los Angeles area elected officials who threatened to withhold funding for transportation projects if his
area was not treated fairly in the first round of Prop. 1B funding in February.
The five counties are working together in hopes of bringing more than $1.7 billion of a $2 billion chunk of state bond money to Southern
California. The state hopes to make decisions by the end of the year.
The five -county alliance hopes the state will make broad decisions about how much money should be sent to the four eligible regions
around the - others include San Diego, the Bay area and the Central Valley. They hope the decisions about how to spend the money sent
to each corridor can be made by local agencies in each region.

Speaker Nunez Calls on California Transportation Commission to
Recognize Size and Needs of Southern California Ports in Distributing
Goods Movement Funds
SACRAMENTO—Noting the fact that Southern California ports handle 90% of the state's
containerized imports and 76% of the state's containerized exports should be the "elephant in the
room" when it comes to funding decisions, Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles) today sent the
following letter to the California Transportation Commission urging them to ensure Southern California
is not shortchanged when the commission votes on distribution of goods movement funds from the
state's infrastructure bonds:
"Dear Chairman Ghielmetti and Members:
"As one of the key architects of the infrastructure bonds approved by voters in 2006, I am writing to
express my strong concern that Southern California's ports — which are of paramount importance to
the state's international trade and economic development —not be shortchanged when it comes to the
distribution of bond funding to improve goods movement in California.
"The Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles handle almost 90 percent of the state's containerized
imports and 76 percent of our containerized exports. Any criteria for distributing bond funds that
ignores this elephant in the room is unfair and unwise and is certainly not what Southem California
legislators intended when we supported the initiatives or what Southern California voters expected
when they cast their ballots for the bonds.
"Further, in addition to the overwhelming economic differential weighing in favor of Southern California
on this issue, there are serious health and environmental imbalances that must be addressed as well.
"Estimates show that as many as 1200 Southern Californians die prematurely every year because of
goods -movement related pollution. While Southern California leaders are taking initiative to help
combat this — witness the recent agreements by the cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles to reduce
pollution by replacing old diesel trucks — they can't do it alone. This is especially true given the added
difficulties Southern California faces by being a non -attainment zone under the Clean Air Act. The
funding criteria approved by the commission must reflect the goods movement industry's unique
health effects on Southern California.
"Finally, I am in receipt of a letter sent to you by the transportation commissions of Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties, the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles,
the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority, Southern California Regional Rail Authority and the
Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority. It is persuasive, and should, I hope, be determinative
of the commission's direction.
"I urge the Commission to honor their appropriate request that funds from Proposition 1 B go to areas
with the greatest need and impacts. While a 60/40 south/north split may be a workable formula for
ordinary transportation funding, when it comes to goods movement, the only formula that makes sense
is Size + Volume + Impact = Need.
"Sincerely,
of 2 11/13/2007 3:20 PM
