10. ADOPTION OF 2007 RIVERSIDE COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
Shirley Medina, Program Manager, provided a brief overview aid background
information on the 2007 Riverside County Congestion Management Program
(CMP). Shirley Medina introduced Georgina Vivian, VRPA Technologies, Inc.,
to provide an update of the 2007 Riverside County CMP.
Georgina Vivian, VRPA Technologies, Inc., explained every two years the CMP
is updated and she highlighted the following areas:
�l
• 2007 Riverside County CMP purpose — Directly link land use and
11
transportation, effectively utilize transportation funds, alleviate
traffic congestion and improve air quality;
• Riverside CMP systems: Western Riverside and Coachella Valley;
• CMP system monitoring — street and highway monitioring;
• 2007 level of service on CMP system in Western Riverside, North
Western Riverside, and Coachella Valley;
• CMP monitoring results;
• CMP deficiency plan provisions; and
RCTC Plans and Programs Committee Minutes

• Deficiency plan process - required components of a deficiency
plan, reliance on Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF)
programs.
Commissioner Robin Lowe's request, Georgina Vivian explained that floating
car runs are conducted during peak hours in order to determine the actual
delay.
Commissioner Robin Lowe asked for clarification on how a level of service
(LOS) and a segment length are determined.
Georgina Vivian replied that a LOS is determined by miles per hour (mph) that
it took for a vehicle to get from point A to point B, which equates to a certain
LOS. Georgina Vivian asked for Erik Ruehr, Traffic Engineer, VRPA
Technologies, Inc., to provide detailed information.
Erik Ruehr explained that a highway capacity manual is used for arterial
streets, which will add the overall delay into the calculation of the mph along
that segment. He stated that it is up to the analyst, which in this case is
VRPA Technologies, Inc., along with the Technical Advisory Committee to
determine the length of a segment.
Commissioner Robin Lowe expressed concern for the determination of segment
length as congestion and emission issues on a segment may not be accurately
reflected due to inappropriate length and therefore questioned the validity of
the study based on the subjective nature of the determination by the analyst.
Erik Ruehr acknowledged that there is some judgment involved in determining
the measurement of a segment and that in a particular three to five mile
segment of arterial roadway it could be determined to be at an acceptable LOS,
however there could be an isolated congestion spot within that three to five
mile segment.
Georgina Vivian replied if there are particular segments of concern, VRPA
Technologies, Inc. can conduct a floating car run along those segments and
provide the results. She said this is the most efficient way of establishing LOS
and this is a subjective process using engineering judgment in identifying those
particular segments.

in the badlands area in the city of Moreno Valley and suggested integrating this
section of the freeway into the plan, adding a truck climbing lane.

In response to Commissioner John Chlebnik's question regarding the
distribution of the projects, Anne Mayer responded the primary list includes
42 grade separation projects with 10 more projects that can be delivered by
the end of 2013, and the Commission is proposing to nominate all of those
projects for consideration by the California Transportation Commission
(CTC). Staff will come back to the Commission in December 2007, with a
full summary of the guidelines and targets that the CTC has adopted along
with a list of projects that staff proposes to nominate.
At Commissioner Buster's request, Anne Mayer described the positive effect
that this process has had on relationships with all of the Southern California
partners.
In response to Commissioner Lowe's comment concerning Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Authority (Metro) reaching a decision on the priority list,
Anne Mayer replied Metro does not have any project delivery responsibility
for any of the projects listed. Metro is a strong partner in advocating
projects on the priority list and Metro may have some funding that is passed
through to the other agencies.
Commissioner Michael Wilson asked Anne Mayer if Commission staff was
involved in the CTC's guidelines once these projects were nominated.
Anne Mayer replied that with respect to the CTC guidelines, all the agencies
throughout the state were provided draft CTC guidelines for review and
comment. Commission staff has been actively commenting as a part of the
Southern California Coalition, and the Commission has been engaged as
Shirley Medina, Program Manager, is the moderator of the Regional
Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPA), and is engaged and representing

Parking Structure Construction Begins at North Main Corona
Construction of a new six -story parking structure at the North Main Corona Metrolink
Station started on January 7. Commission staff was present at the station to direct
and inform affected passengers on the mornings of January 7 and 8. With the
assistance of Corona police, passengers were directed to the new parking facilities.
Both the lot closure and transition to auxiliary lot operations occurred without major
incident and are now functioning as intended.
On January 4, the affected portion of the parking lot was closed. To compensate for
the decrease of 239 spaces, the Commission has leased 300 spaces as an auxiliary
parking lot at the former Edwards movie theater. Corona Cruiser initiated shuttle
service on December 26. Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) began providing additional
shuttle service on January 7, transporting morning and evening Metrolink commuters
to and from the station and auxiliary lot. Additionally, RTA augmented Route 3 to
now serve as a shuttle for mid -day passengers
Commission staff will continue to monitor the auxiliary lot and adjust operations as
needed. Information has been made available to the public through multiple internet
channels including the Commission, Metrolink, OCTA, and city of Corona websites.
Additionally, a designated rack for project update flyers has been installed on the
platform walkway to provide passengers with regular communication regarding the
project and any impact it may have upon the use of the station. Designated notice
boards have been placed on the platform to notify passengers of transit alternatives
and relevant project information. Both station security and Metrolink staff have been
notified of how to direct station patrons to relevant project information and updates.
Rendering of the completed North Main Corona Parking Structure.
The North Main Corona station was built with 563 spaces. Due to the popularity of
its location, ridership increased rapidly. By August 2003, more than 600 passengers
were boarding at the station every weekday. As a result, the Commission developed
plans for an onsite parking structure. The design calls for phased construction based
on need. The first phase will include 1,065 parking spaces in a six story concrete
structure located on half of the parking lot nearest to Main Street. The structure will
include two elevators, two entrances/exits and a connecting bridge to the over

Now, new STIP capacity is primarily dependent upon TIF transfers, which are
difficult to predict with any certainty under current budgetary circumstances. Last
year, the legislature diverted $1.3 billion of PTA funds back to the General Fund,
which had an immediate impact to the STIP. Proposition 1 A included the
"protection" of Proposition 42 funds in that the legislature could borrow these
funds, but must repay borrowed funds within three years. Although the
Governor's proposed FY 2008/09 budget includes full funding of Proposition 42 at
$1.5 billion, there is still reason to be concerned that this funding level may not
stay intact as budget cuts continue to be debated among legislators to address the
State's fiscal emergency.
The 2008 STIP fund estimate added two new years (FY 2011 /12 and FY 2012/13)
and associated fund estimates. This new fund capacity was distributed to each
county per the formula included in SB 45. As previously reported, the 2008 STIP
fund estimate did not include additional funds for Riverside County due to the
limited amount of funding available, and current project commitments, which
include Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle (GARVEE) Bond Program debt service
for the 60/91 /215 design sequencing project.
The 2008 STIP fund estimate also identifies negative balances in the first two
years of the STIP period. It has been reported at recent CTC meetings that over
$1 billion will need to be delayed from the first two years to the last two to three
years of the FY 2010-13 STIP (FY 2010/11 — FY 2012/13). This is likely going to
impact each county throughout the state. The current 2006 STIP Riverside County
project listing is attached. Staff is currently reviewing project schedules to
determine which projects need to be reprogrammed based on updated information.
Staff will provide the Riverside County 2008 STIP project programming
recommendations as soon as possible and prior to the February 13, 2008
Commission meeting.
Staff will continue to work with CTC staff to maintain the Commission's 2008
STIP programming recommendations to the extent possible.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
January 28, 2008
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Shirley Medina, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Riverside County 2008 Transportation
Financial Resolution
Improvement
Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 08-009, "Resolution Certifying that the Riverside
County Has Resources to Fund Projects in Fiscal Years 2008/09 Through
2013/14 Transportation Improvement Program and Affirming Commitment
to Implement All Projects in the Program";
2) Forward to the Commission for final action; and
3) Forward to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for
inclusion in the 2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU) requires that a RTIP be adopted and included in federally approved
statewide documents before receiving federal funds for transportation projects. The RTIP
must be updated by the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) every two years. The
RTIP implements projects identified in the first six years of the long-range Regional
Transportation Plan.
The SCAG, as the MPO, adopted the 2006 RTIP Update in August, 2006 with federal
approval occurring in October 2006. Therefore, the RTIP is required to be updated and
approved by SCAG prior to October 2008. SCAG anticipates submitting the 2008 RTIP
to the federal approval agencies by August 2008. Federal regulations require SCAG to
determine that the RTIP: 1) conforms to the adopted air plans in the region; 2) is
financially constrained; and 3) affirms project commitments. The attached resolution
must be included in the 2008 RTIP update to certify that the Riverside County portion of
the RTIP is financially constrained and to affirm the commitment to implement the
projects. Financial constraint and project commitment is defined as follows:
Agenda Item 9
14
A. Financial Constraint: The Commission must certify that the Riverside
County TIP is financially constrained (projects are not programmed in
excess of fund levels) and that the funding may be reasonably expected to
carry out the program.
B. Project Commitment: The Commission must affirm that their highest
priorities for funding are the projects in the 2008 RTIP. The affirmation is.
specifically targeted to enforceable Transportation Control Measures (TCM).
TCM are strategies/projects employed to reduce emissions from on -road
mobile sources.
Over the past nine months, staff has reviewed projects submitted by Ca[trans, local
agencies, and transit operators in Riverside County to ensure that each project has a
clearly identified funding source and schedule. Projects that completed construction
were identified and removed from the RTIP, while other projects were added or
modified. All project programming was accomplished with the concurrence of each
project sponsor. The end result is that the Riverside County projects are consistent with
the financial constraint and TCM implementation requirements of SAFETEA-LU.
The 2008 RTIP Update is scheduled for approval by the SCAG Regional Council by
August 2008. SCAG subsequently will pursue the necessary state and federal approvals
for the 2008 RTIP. These approvals are anticipated to occur in by early November
2008.

If the additional funds are approved, Commission staff will amend RTA's
FY 2007/08 SRTP to reflect this increase in revenues and expenses. Monies used
for capital purchases are exempt from the farebox recovery ratio as well as other
Productivity Improvement Program indicators.
Staff also recommends a budget adjustment of $1.16 million to increase STA
expenditures to fund the purchase of buses and fare collection equipment.

RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
January 28, 2008
TO:
Plans and Programs Committee
FROM:
Brian Champion, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Stephanie Wiggins, Director of Regional Programs
SUBJECT:
Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Services
Advisory Council
Transportation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Renew Andrea Puga, Sherry Thibodeaux and Mary Venerable's
memberships to the Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Services
Transportation Advisory. Council (CAC);
2) Approve the membership roster for the CAC effective February 2008;
and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides direction for administering
both Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) funds.
Both fund types are used to support operating and capital costs for public
transportation. Section 99238 of the TDA requires that the Commission have a
CAC consisting of categorical memberships as follows:
1) One representative of a potential transit user who is 60 years of age
or older;
2) One representative of a potential transit user who is handicapped;
3) Two representatives of the local social service providers for seniors,
including one representative of a social service transportation provider,
if one exists;
4) Two representatives of local social service providers for the disabled,
including one representative of a social service transportation provider,
if one exists;
5) One representative of a local social service provider for persons of
limited means; and
Agenda Item 13
26
6) Two representatives from the local consolidated transportation service
agency, designated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 15975 of
the Government Code, if one exists, including one representative from
an operator, if one exists.
As further identified in Section 99238, members of the social services
transportation advisory council shall be appointed by the Transportation Planning
Agency (TPA). Candidates shall be recruited from a broad representation of social
service and transit providers representing the elderly, the disabled, and persons of
limited means. The Commission is the TPA for Riverside County. In appointing
committee members, the TPA shall strive to attain geographic and minority
representation among members. Initial appointments to the CAC are staggered
with members appointed to one, two and three year terms. Once initial
appointments are made, subsequent renewals are for a three year term.
Appointments for Andrea Puga, Sherry Thibodeaux, and Mary Venerable expired
December 31, 2007. Staff contacted these members and all have indicated that
they would like to have their appointments reconfirmed.
For the past several years, staff has requested CAC participation in reviewing the
testimony of the Commission's Unmet Transit Needs Hearing, the SB 821 Bicycle
and Pedestrian Facilities Program and the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA)
Section 5310 program. Following is a brief description of each program:
Unmet Transit Needs Hearing
State law requires that prior to making any allocations of Local
Transportation Funds (LTF) not directly related to public transit, the
Commission must identify the unmet transit needs in the area and determine
those that are reasonable to meet. At least one public hearing must be held
to solicit comments on unmet transit needs. The only area that this
determination of unmet needs is applicable to is the Palo Verde Valley where
it is anticipated that not all funds will be needed for transit. In western
county and the Coachella Valley, all available local transit funds are being
used for transit services. The Unmet Transit Needs Hearing is held annually
in Blythe, California. For FY 2008/09, the hearing is scheduled for
March 6, 2008.
SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program
Each year, 2% of the LTF revenue is made available for use on bicycle and
pedestrian facility projects through the Commission's SB 821 Program. This
is a discretionary program administered by the Commission.
Agenda Item 13
27
There are three steps to carry out the program:
1) All cities and the county are notified of the SB 821 program
estimate of available funding and are requested to submit
project proposals. (All school districts in the county are also
notified and asked to coordinate project submissions with either
their local city or the County Transportation Department.) The
Commission's SB 821 program policies, project application, and
selection criteria are also provided with the notification;
2) The Commission's SB 821 Evaluation Committee, comprised of
members of the Commission's Technical and Citizens' Advisory
Committees (three each), meets to review and rank the project
applications using the evaluation criteria adopted by the
Commission and recommends projects and funding amounts to
the Commission for approval; and
3) The Commission reviews the Committee's recommendations
and approves a program of bicycle and pedestrian projects for
funding.
Federal Transportation Administration's Section 5310 Program
The FTA Section 5310 Program provides capital grants for the purpose of
assisting private, non-profit corporations and public agencies, under certain
circumstances, in providing transportation services to meet the needs of
seniors and persons with disabilities for whom public transportation services
are otherwise unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate: The program
provides funding for approved projects on an 88.53% federal/11.47% local
match basis.
In addition to the above tasks, members of CAC review the draft Short Range
Transit Plans from the eight public operators providing services in Riverside County
as well as the draft Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Coordination
Plan.

the economic contributions, congestion relief and health impacts to Riverside
County residents. As shown in Attachment 1, for Riverside County, the first tier
projects consists of 13 projects totaling $542.6 million; of that amount
$169 million is recommended in TCIF funding. The second tier identifies 3 projects
for a total cost of $192.4; a TCIF match of $50.7 is recommended: The projects
nominated in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 meet all of the California Transportation
Commission ICTC) required screening criteria; they are included in numerous trade
infrastructure and goods movement plans including the Goods Movement Action.
Plan, Cal-MITSAC, and the Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan. In
addition, the projects are specifically identified in the 2004 Regional Transportation
Plan. The projects will improve air quality, improve economic vitality, provide
adequate matching funds and can start construction by 2013.
Trade Corridor Improvement Fund Project Benefits:
Grade Separations
The movement of freight through Southern California is increasing at a rapid rate.
The impact of delays caused by freight trains traveling through Riverside County is
rapidly becoming one of the area's most pressing transportation concerns. The
benefits of the proposed 14 ACE grade separation projects' for Riverside County
include:
• Stops 160 tons of air pollutants and 315 tons of greenhouse gases
from being emitted annually in the worst air basin in the nation in
2030;
• Reduces projected doubling of gate crossing wait times of 2,984
minutes per day in 2030;
• Reduces a projected 385% increase in auto/truck traffic delay at
crossings resulting from a 62% increase in rail traffic and 53%
increase in vehicular traffic; and
• Connects the Alameda Corridor and the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach to the transcontinental rail network creating a faster, more
efficient method for distributing an estimated $300 billion worth of
trade by the year 2030.
Interstate 10/State Route 60 Truck Climbing Lane
The I-10/SR-60 Truck Climbing Lane project proposal is to add an eastbound
dedicated truck climbing lane on 1-10 from the Riverside -San Bernardino County line
to the I-10/SR-60 interchange, which is currently a six -lane mixed flow facility with
a three percent grade. The benefits of the proposed project includes:

Trade Corridor Improvement Fund Project Hearings
The CTC has scheduled a series of hearings during the month of February 2008, on
the proposed projects (Attachment 2). The Los Angeles meeting is scheduled for
February 19, 2008, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Commissioners are encouraged to attend.
Proposition 1 B: HRCSA
High -Priority Grade Separation and Railroad Crossing Safety Improvements
At the January 2008 CTC meeting, discussion was held regarding a potential new
funding source that may be available for Riverside County projects. The Highway
Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond 'Act of 2006,
approved by the voters as Proposition 1 B, authorized $250 million to be deposited
in the HRCSA to be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to Ca!trans.
The funds, will be allocated by the CTC for the completion of high -priority grade
separation and railroad crossing safety improvements. The draft HRCSA program
guidelines are attached. Although still in draft format, following are the highlights
of the guidelines:
A. Proposition 1 B provides that $150 million from the HRCSA shall be made
available for allocation to projects on the annual Public Utilities Commission
(PUC) priority list developed pursuant to the process established in Chapter
10 of the Streets and Highways Code, with two exceptions:

Highway -Railroad Crossing Safety Account Program Guidelines
General Program Policy
1. Authority and purpose of guidelines. The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air
Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, approved by the voters as Proposition 1B
on November 7, 2006, authorized $250 million to be deposited in the Highway -Railroad
Crossing Safety Account (HRCSA) to be available, upon appropriation by the
'Legislature, to the Department of Transportation (Caltrans), as allocated by the California
Transportation Commission (CTC), for the completion of high -priority grade separation
and railroad crossing safety improvements.
In 2007, the Legislature enacted implementing legislation (SB 88) that designated the
Commission as the administrative agency for the HRCSA program and directed the
Commission to adopt guidelines to establish the criteria and process to allocate funds to
an eligible project in the HRCSA program. SB 88 also specified various administrative
and reporting requirements for all Proposition 1B programs.
2. Eligibility of applicants and projects. The Commission will consider HRCSA allocations
to Caltrans or to a public agency responsible for development of a proposed project.
Eligible projects are the capital costs of high -priority grade separation and railroad
crossing safety improvements projects. HRCSA projects will be matched at least dollar -
for -dollar by local, federal, or private funds. Other state funds, including STIP and other
Proposition 1B funds, may be used for a project but will not be counted as match.
Under statute, the project recipient agency must provide a project funding plan that
demonstrates that the non-HRCSA funds in the plan (local, state, or federal) are
reasonably expected to be available and sufficient to complete the project. The
Commission expects that HRCSA project funding will usually be limited to the costs of
construction and right-of-way. Project development costs should be covered with other
funding.
The useful life of an HRCSA project shall not be less than the required useful life for
capital assets pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law, specifically
subdivision (a) of Section 16727 of the Government Code. That section generally
requires that projects have an. expected useful life of 15 years or more.
3. Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Priorities. Proposition 1B provided that $150 million
from the HRCSA shall be made available for allocation to projects on the annual PUC
priority list developed pursuant to the process established in Chapter 10 (commencing
with Section 2450) of Division 3 of the Streets and Highways Code, with two exceptions:
37
I Draft Highway Railroad Crossing Program Guidelines Page 2
January 2, 2008
(1) a dollar for dollar match of non -state funds shall be provided for each project, and
(2) the $5 million maximum in Section 2454 shall not apply to HRCSA funds.
The annual PUC priority list process described in Chapter 10 has been in place for many
years, funded primarily from State Highway Account funds as provided for under Section
190 of the Streets and Highways Code. The CTC will receive HRCSA allocation
requests for projects on the current PUC priority list and for projects nominated for the
FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10 PUC priority list. The CTC will make allocations to those
projects in accordance with the procedures and standards described in Chapter 10 for as
tong as the $150 million authorization and necessary appropriations are available. The
CTC will not adopt a program of projects for these funds other than the annual PUC
priority list. As described in Section 2460, if more projects comply with the requirements
of Chapter 10 than can be financed from the funds set aside for purposes of that chapter
(including HCRSA and Section 190), allocations shall be made to those projects highest
on the PUC priority list. The CTC may make allocations. for any project when it
determines, at the time of allocation, that sufficient funds are available for all projects
which are higher on the priority list and which are, or are reasonably expected to become,
eligible during the fiscal year.
NOTE: Sections 4 to 11 of these guidelines do not apply to the projects on the
annual PUC priority list. The project delivery guidelines beginning with Section 12
apply to all projects that may receive HRCSA funding.
CTC Program of Projects. Proposition 1B provided that the other $100 million from the
HRCSA shall be made available to high -priority railroad crossing improvements,
including grade separation projects, that are selected outside the annual PUC priority list
process. The CTC will adopt a program of projects for these funds from projects
nominated by Caltrans, regional agencies or recipient local agencies. These may include
projects at any of the following:
(a) Crossings where freight and passenger rail share the affected rail line.
(b) Crossings with a high incidence of motor vehicle -rail or pedestrian -rail collisions.
(c) Crossings with a high potential for savings in railand roadway traffic delay.
(d) Crossings where an improvement will result in quantifiable emission benefits.
(e) Crossings where the improvement will improve the flow of rail freight to or from
a port facility.
5. Program Schedule. The Commission intends to implement the program of projects on the
following schedule:
CTC adoption of HRCSA guidelines.
HRCSA project applications due.

7. Submittal of project nominations. For the initial HRCSA program of projects, the
Commission will consider only projects for which a nomination and supporting
documentation are received in the Commission office by 12:00 noon, April 4, 2008, in
hard copy. A nomination from a regional agency will include the signature of the Chief
Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the agency. A nomination from Caltrans
will include the signature of the Director of Transportation or a person authorized by the
Director to submit the nomination. A nomination from a city, county, or other public
agency will include the signature from an officer authorized by the city council, board of
supervisors, or other agency board. Where the project is to be implemented by an agency
other than the nominating agency, the nomination will also include the signature of the
Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the implementing agency.
The Commission requests that each project nomination include five copies of the cover
letter, the project fact sheet, and the narrative description, together with two copies of all
supporting documentation_ All nomination materials should be addressed or delivered to:
John Barna, Executive Director
California Transportation Commission
Mail Station 52, Room 2222
1120 N Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
, Project Selection and Programming
. 8.
Program of projects based on applications. The Commission will develop its HRCSA
project priority list from the nominations received by the nomination due date. The
listing may take into account the amount of funds appropriated.
Project application scoring. The Commission will evaluate and score project applications
according to the following weighting:
A. 60%, the effectiveness of the project in providing transportation benefits,
including the improvement of safety, operations, and effective capacity of rail and
highway facilities in a corridor. The Commission will measure operational
improvement and capacity benefits in terms of hours of delay saved per dollar
expended. The Commission will measure safety benefits in terms of the
estimated reduction in the number of deaths and injuries.
B. 20%, the date by which the project will be ready for award of the construction
contract, giving higher priority to projects delivered earlier.
C. 10%, the degree to which the project reduces local and regional emissions of
diesel particulates and other air pollutants.
D. 10%, the financial contribution from non -state funds in the HRCSA project,
giving higher priority to projects with a higher non -state contribution.

appear on the agenda published 10 days in advance of the Commission meeting. It does
not require the 30-day notice that applies to a STIP amendment.
15. Allocations from the HRCSA. The Commission will consider the allocation of funds
j from the HRCSA for a project or project component when it receives an allocation
request and recommendation from Cabman, in the same manner as for the STIP. The
recommendation will include a determination of the availability of appropriated HRCSA
and the availability of all identified and committed supplementary funding. The
Commission will approve the allocation if the funds are available, the allocation is
necessary to implement the project as included in the adopted HRCSA program, and the
project has the required environmental clearance.
i
16. Final delivery report. Within six . months of the project becoming operable, the
implementing agency will provide a final delivery report to the Commission on the scope
of the completed project, its final costs as compared to the approved project budget, its
duration as compared to the project schedule in the project baseline agreement, and
performance outcomes derived from the project as compared to those described in the
project baseline agreement. The Commission shall forward this report to the Department
of Finance as required by Government Code Section 8879.50.
The implementing agency will also provide a supplement to the final delivery report at
the completion of the project to reflect final project expenditures at the conclusion of all
project activities. For the purpose of this section, a project becomes operable at the end
of the construction phase when the construction contract is accepted. Project completion
occurs at the conclusion of all remaining project activities, after acceptance of the
construction contract.
17. Audit of project expenditures and outcomes. The Department of Transportation will
ensure that project expenditures and outcomes are audited. For each HRCSA project, the
Commission expects the Department to provide a semi-final audit report within 6 months
after the final delivery report and a final audit report within 12 months after the fmal
delivery report. The Commission may also require interim audits at any time during the
performance of the project.
Audits will be performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing
Standards promulgated by the United States Government Accountability Office. Audits
will provide a fording on the following:
• Whether project costs incurred and reimbursed are in compliance with the executed
project baseline agreement or approved amendments thereof; state and federal laws
and regulations; contract provisions; and Commission guidelines.
• Whether project deliverables (outputs) and outcomes are consistent with the project
scope, schedule and benefits described in the executed project baseline agreement or
approved amendments thereof.
