RCTC: A Local Mobility Partner Through its role as a regional transportation agency, in FY 2007/08 the agency was successful in attracting more than $162 million in Proposition 1B funding fora variety of railroad grade separations in Riverside County and for an interchange project at 1-215 and Van Buren Boulevard. While local jurisdictions will serve as the lead agencies for construction on the delivery of these projects, the Commission facilitated the award of funding and has been able to identify and obtain other sources of funding for various projects. With construction and right of way costs continuing to rise on infrastructure projects, the Commission will pursue a variety of means to fund additional projects. As a result, the Commission has taken positions to pursue high occupancy toll (HOT) lane development, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Small Starts funding, and a coordinated approach with neighboring transportation agencies to maximize funding from sources such as Proposition 1 B and the upcoming reauthorization of the federal transportation bill. Current Responsibilities During FY 2008/09, the Commission will invest $371 million in capital projects that include highway, regional arterial, and rail projects. All told, the Commission's overall budget will exceed $631 million that includes additional investments for transit operations, payments to cities for street and road improvements, and a variety of smaller programs such as motorist and commuter assistance programs. The Commission's status has become somewhat unique in Southern California. As many transportation agencies have consolidated functions and grown in size, the Commission remains true to the original intent of the legislation that first created it, operating a staff of 45 budgeted positions. In doing so, the Commission remains effective in its role as a transportation planning and funding agency by maintaining productive relationships with other agencies. For example, Measure A pays for a score of lesser -known projects that are extremely important to local residents. In the coming fiscal year, the Commission will return more than $50 million in funding to local cities and the County for local streets, and roads needs. The Commission also receives and programs funding from state and federal sources. This includes the State's Transportation Development Act program dollars than are allocated primarily to the County's major public transit providers. Measure A also pays its share by funding transit fare discounts and programs for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and individuals of limited means and by operating,a commuter assistance program that provides traveler information and ridesharing assistance to employers and commuters. I 6 Looking Toward the Future The focus of FY 2008/09 and beyond will be the development and delivery of the 2009 Measure A 10=Year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan. Environmental work on the widening of SR-91 through Corona has already begun with additional work included for related improvements on the SR-71/SR-91 connectors interchange. Engineering and environmental work is also underway for the widening of the 1-215 in ! Murrieta and for HOT lanes on 1-15. The toll component of the SR-91 and 1-15 projects will require legislative approval that is currently working its way through the state legislative process. Assembly Bill (Jeffries) 1954 will provide the Commission the authority to develop HOT lanes on 1-15, and SB :1316 (Correa) will makes changes to existing state law regarding the 91 Express Lanes !franchise to allow the Commission to extend the existing SR-91 facility into Riverside `County. Both bills have received approvals from their houses of origin, and the desired outcome is for both to be approved by the full Legislature and signed by the Govemor during the latter part of 2008. The development of the Perris Valley Line Metrolink extension is yet another priority for now and until the anticipated launch of service in 2011. The project has received a favorable rating from the FTA and is eligible for as much as $75 million in federal Small Starts funding.) Two-thirds of the available federal funding has been included in the President's proposed FY 2008/09 federal budget, signaling strong support for the !project in Washington, D.C. !GFOA Distinguished Budget Award The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an award of Distinguished Budget Presentation to the Riverside County Transportation Commission for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007. In order to receive this award, a govemmental unit must publish a document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications device. The award is valid for a period of one year only. The Commission believes that this budget document conforms to program requirements, and it will be submitted to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. i Acknowledgements The preparation of this budget has been a collaborative effort of the Commission's staff. The budget reflects the Commission's desire to communicate the components of the budget in terms that are easily understandable and supportable for the general public. Staff acknowledges and appreciates the guidance and leadership of the Commission's 30-member Board of Commissioners and the sense of renewal and commitment they ;have and continue to inspire.

The Commission's mission is to assume a leadership role in improving mobility in. the County. The goveming body consists of all five members of the County Board of Supervisors, one elected official from each of the County's 25 cities (including the newly incorporated city of Wildomar effective July 1, 2008), and. one non -voting member appointed by the Governor of Califomia. The Commission is responsible for setting policies, establishing priorities, and coordinating activities among the County's various transit operators and other agencies. The Commission also programs andfor reviews the allocation of federal, state, and local funds for highway, transit, rail, non -motorized travel (bicycle and pedestrian), and other transportation activities. The Commission serves as the tax authority and implementation agency for the voter approved Measure A Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Measure N was approved by the County's electorate in 1988 and imposes a one-half of'one cent sales tax to fund specific programs that commenced in July 1989 0989 Measure A): The 1989 Measure A was approved for 20 years and expires on June 30, 2009. On November 5, 2002, the voters of. Riverside County approved the renewal of Measure A beginning in July 2009 through 2039 (2009,I Measure A). Additionally, the Commission provides motorist aid services designed to expedite traffic flow. These services include the Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE), a program that provides callbox service for motorists, and the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), a roving tow truck service to assist motorists with disabled vehicles on the main highways of the County during, peak rush hour traffic periods. These services are provided at no charge to motorists and are funded through a $1 surcharge on vehicle registrations. The Commission is also legally responsible for allocating Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, the major source of funds for transit in the County. The TDA provides two sources of funding: the Local Transportation Fund (LTF), which is derived from a one -quarter of one cent state sales tax, and State Transit Assistance (STA), which is derived from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel. Finally, the Commission has been designated as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for the County. As the CMA, the Commission coordinates with local jurisdictions in the establishment of congestion mitigation procedures for the County's roadway system_ 11 I f Riverside County Transportation Commission List of Principal Officials Name Bob Buster John F.

The budget outlines the projects the Commission plans to undertake during the year and appropriates expenditures to accomplish these tasks. The budget also shows the funding sources and fund balances that will be used for these projects. This document will serve as the Commission's monetary guideline. To provide the reader a better understanding of the projects, staff has included descriptive information regarding each department and major projects. The discussion in each department includes a review of major initiatives and key assumptions. Staff used the goals and objectives approved at the Commission meeting on March 12, 12008, to prepare this budget. In addition to the Commission's long-term goals and strategic plan, the short'term factors listed below were used to guide the development of the budget: ;Operational • Complete projects and programs included in the 1989 Measure A and determine use for unexpended revenues. • Aggressively implement the environmental process on key components of the 2009 Measure A 10-Year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan (10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan). • Develop the toll program consistent with the 10-Year Westem County Highway Delivery', Plan including obtaining toll authority for select projects. • Work closely with local jurisdictions to implement the FY 2007-2009 Transportation Uniform, Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial Program and facilitate the delivery of arterial improvements in western. Riverside County (Western County). • Circulate the project level environmental documents for the Mid County Parkway and the State Route (SR) 79 realignment projects. • Continue to work with the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) to implement the Multi -Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and assist in the assembly of the reserve system. • Continue cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regarding the Small Starts process to support project development activities for the Perris Valley Line Metrolink extension (Perris Valley Line) project. • Improve utilization and increase efficiency of commuter rail lines serving the County. • Support' innovative programs that provide transit assistance in hard to serve rural areas or for riders with special transit needs. • Promote program efficiency and harmony between transit operators. • Maintain effective partnerships among commuters, employers, and government to increase the efficiency of our transportation system by encouragingand promoting transportation alternatives. • Continue to provide a motorist aid system that ensures safety and convenience to freeway l, motorists. • Maintain close communication with Commissioners and educate policy makers on all issues of importance to the Commission. 13 Financial • Maintain administrative program delivery costs below the policy threshold of 4% of Measure A revenues. The current Management Services budget is 3.15% of Measure A revenues. • Maintain administrative salaries and benefits at less than 1°% of Measure A revenues. The current administrative salaries and benefits is .99% of Measure A revenues. • .Continue to maintain prudent cash reserves to provide some level of insulation for unplanned expenditures. • Maintain current positive bond ratings with rating agencies. • Move forward on Measure A projects for highways and regional arterials using sales tax revenues, TUMF revenues, and state and federal funding as well as financing alternatives such as commercial paper, sales tax revenue bonds, and innovative financing strategies. • Look for opportunities, funding sources, and innovative approaches to address transportation needs that extend beyond Measure A. • Leverage and protect past Measure A investments in rail with state and federal funding for additional rail improvements, including the Perris Valley Line. Budget Overview Chart 1 — Revenues: Major Categories TUMF Revenue 2% Intergovemmenta 1 29% Other Revenue 1% LTF Sates Tax 25% Investment Income 2% Measure A Sales Tax 41% Total revenues are budgeted at $337,409,200, which are an increase of 25.9% over FY 2007/08 projected_ revenues and a 7.6% increase over the FY 2007/08 budget. The projected fund balance at June 30, 2008 available for expenditures (excluding reserves for debt service of $32,475,500 and loans receivable of $11,273,100) is $431,440,300. Total funding sources available for the FY 2008/09 budget, including commercial paper proceeds of $130,000,000, amount to $898,849,500. • 14 Chart 2 - Commission Revenue Trend S400010.00E1 5050.000.000 $300,1X10,000 $250,000,000 S200,000,000 $150,000,000 $100,000.000 S50.000.000 s- !FY 0607 FY 07108 FISCAL YEARS FY 011/09 - ®Mvesuneni income - ■Other Revenue OTUMF Revenue OMlernove tnnPntn BUFF Sales Tax 6 Measure A Sales Tat The State Board of Equalization has provided cities and other agencies its projections for statewide taxable sales over the next fiscal year to increase 3.8%; however, the local economy has been significantly impacted by the housing crisis. As a result population and -job growth have slowed down, and Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues and TUMF fees have declined. The outlook for 2009 is mixed when compared to the economic difficulties experienced in 2008. !This economic slowdown was not anticipated in the 2006 UCLA Anderson Forecast of taxable sales revenues for Riverside County through the 2009 Measure A accordingly, the ICommission has revised the long run forecast to include the current decline in sales tax revenues. After taking these economic factors and the state of the local economy into ,consideration, staff has projected that Measure A sales tax revenues will be comparable to 'the FY 2007/08 revised budget. On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the LTF for public transportation needs, local streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of LTF funding received by the County and available for allocation is distributed to all public transit operators in the County, and the Commission receives allocations for administration, planning, and programming in addition to funding for rail operations included in the commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The LTF sales takrevenue received from the State is budgeted based on the LTF sales tax revenue projections, which are projected to remain flat with the FY 2007/08 revised estimate because of the state of the local economy. The 4.3% decrease in LTF funding is related primarily to an FY 2007/08 allocation for grade separation jump-start funding awards, of which one-half, or $5,000,000, of this allocation has been rebudgeted in FY 2008/09. intergovernmental revenues include STA transit allocations and federal, state, and local reimbursement revenues. STA funds are generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel and are allocated by formula by the State Controller to the Commission for allocations to the County's public transit operators. The STA transit allocation budgeted for FY 2008/09 reflects a 135.2% increase over FY 2007/08. 15 I I Reimbursement revenues are expected to increase 55.9% compared to the prior year budget; however, only 35.7% of the prior year budget amount is, projected to be realized as revenue in FY 2007/08 because of specific capital project activities. The decrease in FY 2007/08 projected revenues is primarily related to federal reimbursements for project development of certain capital projects that have been rebudgeted in FY 2008/09. For FY 2008/09, federal and/or state sources will partially fund rail capital projects including the Perris Valley Line, ,Perris multimodal facility, North Main Corona station parking structure, and station rehabilitation as well as highway capital projects including the SR-60 East Junction to 1-215 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes connector, SR-79 realignment, SR- , 91/SR-71 connectors, SR-91 HOV lanes/Adams Street to SR-60/SR-91/I-215 interchange, and 1-215 projects. Additionally, federal funds are supporting the geotechnical studies related to the Irvine -Corona Expressway, a Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) corridor. State funds will also reimburse planning and programming activities and Motorist Assistance services. Federal and state reimbursements also pertain to various Commuter Assistance programs. As a result of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Westem Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the Commission will receive 48.7% of TUMF (as updated by the most recent Nexus study) through June 30, 2009, and, in accordance with the 2009 Measure A, thereafter at 100%, after deduction of an administrative fee, up to an aggregate of $400 million. This MOU, however, is expected to be amended in early FY 2008/09 whereby the $400 million maximum guarantee is removed in favor of continued funding at 48.7% of TUMF revenues. TUMF represents fees assessed on new residential and commercial development in Western County. FY 2008/09 TUMF fees are expected to decrease to $5,000,000 based on a weakened housing market in the Inland Empire, and these revenues also include TUMF zone reimbursements for the SR-74/G Street to 1-215 project. Other revenue is projected to decrease 34.6% from the prior years budget primarily because of the TUMF regional transit facilities contribution for the Perris multimodal facility, which contribution has been rebudgeted and is included in reimbursement revenues in the FY 2008/09 budget. Investment income is anticipated to decrease 53.3% in FY 2008/09 as a result of declining interest rates and declining cash balances. Staff continues to actively manage its resources and make appropriate investments to maximize the return to the Commission without sacrificingsecurity and affecting short-term cash requirements.

The Proposition created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, placing limits on the amount_ of revenue that can be spent by public agencies from the "proceeds of taxes:" In 1980, the State Legislature added Section 7910 to the Government Code, providing that the goveming body of each local jurisdiction must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year is equal to the previous year's limit adjusted for population changes and changes in the California per capita income. The Commission is subject to the requirements of Article XIIIB. Gann appropriations limits are calculated for and applied to the Commission. In accordance with the requirements of Article XIIIB implementing legislation, the Board approved Resolution No. 08-017 on June 11, 2008, establishing appropriations limits for the Commission at $311,666,690. The FY 2008/09 budget appropriated $297,960,200 in taxes for the Commission, falling well within the limits set by the Gann Initiative. Based on historic trends and future projections, if appears the Commission's use of the proceeds of taxes, as defined by Article XIIIB, will continue to fall below the appropriations limit. The projected gap between the Commission's projected "use of proceeds" and appropriations limit remains significant over the next decade. The resolution and calculation for the FY 2008/09 appropriations limit are as follows: 32 2008-2009 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT 2007-2008 Appropriations Limit $289,297,351 2008-2009 adjustment: Change in Califomia per capita income = 4.91 percent Change in Population, Riverside County = 2.71 percent 4.91 + 100 = 1.049 100 2.71 + 100 = 1.027 100 1.049 x 1.027 = 1.077323 $289,297,351 x 1.077323 = $311,666,690 2008-2009 Appropriations Limit $311,666,690 Source: California per capita income — California Department of Finance Population, Riverside County — California Department of Finance Demographic Research Unit 33 " 1 S E C T I O N I G U I D I N G P O L I C E S 3 4 " C o m m i s s i o n P o l i c y G o a l s a n d O b j e c t i v e s T h e f o l l o w i n g m a t e r i a l o u t l i n e s t h e C o m m i s s i o n ' s a d o p t e d p o l i c y g o a l s , o b j e c t i v e s a n d f i n a n c i a l p o l i c i e s t h a t s e r v e a s t h e f r a m e w o r k f o r t h e w o r k p l a n p r e s e n t e d i n t h e F Y 2 0 0 8 / 0 9 B u d g e t . , P r o m o t e M o b ' I i t y T h e C o m m i s s i o n , i n c o o p e r a t i o n w i t h l o c a l , s t a t e , a n d f e d e r a l a g e n c i e s , w i l l s t r i v e t o c r e a t e f a n t r a n s p o r t a t i o n s y s t e m t h a t p r o m o t e s e f f i c i e n t m o b i l i t y b o t h w i t h i n t h e C o u n t y a n d W h i l e R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y g r a p p l e s w i t h t h e c h a l l e n g e s o f a d e c l i n i n g r e a l e s t a t e m a r k e t a n d I a n u n c e r t a i n e c o n o m y , t h e n e e d f o r b e t t e r m o b i l i t y a n d t r a n s p o r t a t i o n r e m a i n s a t o p p u b l i c p o l i c y p r i o r i t y t h a t t h e C o m m i s s i o n i s p o i s e d t o a d d r e s s .

In actuality, resource identification occurs throughout the year, but. it is finalized in the; upcoming fiscal year budget. Amounts to be borrowed are determined as part of the Tong -term strategic planning process, but such amounts are adjusted in the annual budget to reflect more current information. Needs Assessment Phase Staff and consultants evaluate what projects and studies need to be accomplished. Project priority and sequencing set in the long-term strategic plan are the top 'candidates for budget submission. However, priorities may have changed due to economic necessities or political realities, resulting in projects being rescheduled by acceleration or postponement. New projects may be added or existing priorities deleted based on Commission direction. Development and Review Phase Using all the data and information gathered from the previously mentioned stages, department heads submit their desired budgets to the Finance Department. The information, along with staff and overhead allocations, is compiled into a preliminary or draft budget. After review by the Executive Director and inclusion of the desired changes, the draft budget is presented to the Board for input. Adoption and Implementation Phase The proposed budget is submitted to the Commission at its May meeting. A hea ing is scheduled to allow for public comment on the proposed budget. The Commission may choose, after public hearing, to adopt the budget or to request additional information and/or changes to the budget. The budget must be adopted no later than June 15 of each year. Upon adoption by the Commission, the budget is entered into the . accounting system effective July 1 for the next fiscal year. 45 Budget Roles and Responsibilities Involvement in the budget permeates all staffing levels at the Commission from c erical support staff to policy makers. Each program manager develops a. detailed line item operating and capital budget. Those budgets by program are submitted to the department head for review and approval. The department heads submit their budgets to the Chief Financial Officer by mid -March. The Finance Department compiles the department budgets. Both the capital and operating budgets are combined into the draft budget for the entire Commission. The Executive Director reviews the entire budget for overall consistency with both the short- and long-term strategic direction of the Commission, appropriateness of funding sources for the identified projects and studies, and reasonableness of the operating budget expenditures, which should also correspond to the capital budget. Expenditure activities of the funds are controlled at the budgetary unit, which is the financial responsibility level (e.g., Measure A) for each function (i.e., administration, programs, intergovernmental distributions, debt service, capital outlay, and other financing uses). These functions provide the legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount). Budget -to -actual reports are distributed to program managers and directors on a monthly basis for informational purposes and quarterly for identification and evaluation of any significant budget variations. Management has the discretion to transfer budgeted amounts within the financial responsibility unit according to function or may provide support for supplemental budget appropriations requests. The Finance Department compiles the data and submits a budget appropriations adjustment at mid- year to the Commission for approval.

Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available to meet current year obligations. Revenues are considered to be available when they are guaranteed as, to receipt, based on expenditure of funds (i.e., government snatching funds), or certain to be received within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred; however, debt service expenditures are recorded when the payment is due. Chart 8 — Total Fund Expenditures and Transfers Out (Uses) Capital Project Funds 18% Special Revenue Funds 73% Budget Authorization and Amendment Process The Commission authorizes expenditures according to administration, programs, capital outlay, and debt service as well as other financing uses. As long as management does not exceed budgeted amounts in these broad classifications, it may transfer amounts among individual line items according to function and between financial responsibility units defined as the General, Measure A, Motorist Assistance, LTF, STA, TUMF, Capital Projects, and Debt Service funds. Any other budget changes require the authorization of the Commission. The Commission may take action at any monthly meeting to amend the budget. Those amendments are incorporated into the budget, as they occur, and are reflected in the CAFR in the final budget amounts reported in the budgetary schedules. Fund Structure There are 24 funds that account for the Commission's budgeted resources and are categorized into four govemmental fund types: General fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, and Debt Service fund. There are five funds reported in the General fund and 16 in the special revenue funds_ Two capital projects funds are used to account for capital project expenditures financed with short- or long-term debt 50 proceeds. In addition, the Commission has one Debt Service fund to account for debt related activity.

The Commission does not adopt a budget for this fund. General Fund Overview The General fund of the Commission is used to account for all activities not legally required or designated by Board action to be accounted for separately. For many public agencies, the General fund is the largest fund. The Commission's largest revenue source is Measure A, a locally levied sales tax that legally must be separately accounted for. The General fund receives a small portion of the Measure A sales tax revenue for administration and operation of the Commission.

The changes compared to the prior year budget are for the following reasons: • Planning money is set by law at three percent (3%) of estimated LTF sales tax revenues. The FY 2007/08 revised budget includes the effect of the mid- year projection adjustment. This adjustment usually includes the unapportioned carryover amount, which is not determined until after the fiscal year end. • Transit funding is also tied to sales tax revenue growth_ The allocation of funding to commuter rail and bus transit operators, however, is based on need to the extent that revenues are available. • Allocations aggregating $5,000,000 for local jurisdictions' grade separation projects are included in the FY 2008/09 budget. STIP revenues fund PPM activities, which may vary annually. Other state revenues include grants funding for environmental justice analysis and an 1-15 interregional partnership study. Federal revenues are primarily reimbursements for geotechnical studies related to the proposed Irvine -Corona Expressway and the Rising Stars in Transit Internship Program. Other reimbursements are from other local agencies related to the geotechnical studies and a portion of the security costs at the commuter rail stations. 53 " T a b l e 2 5 - G e n e r a l F u n d U s e s F Y 2 0 0 7 - 2 0 0 9 F Y 0 6 / 0 7 F Y 0 7 / 0 8 A c t u a l R e v i s e d B u d g e t P e r s o n n e l S a l a r y a n d F r i n g e B e n e f i t s P r o f e s s i o n a l a n d S u p p o r t G e n e r a l L e g a l S e r v i c e s - R r r a n c i e l A d v i s o r y - A n a S e r v i c e s P r o f e s s i o n a l S e r v i c e s - O t h e r L e a s e / U t i l i t i e s G e n e r a l C o m m u n i c a t i o n s - M a i n t e n a n c e I n s u r a n c e S t a f f R e l a t e d I n f o r m a t i o n / P u b l i c i t y S U B T O T A L P r o j e c t a n d O p e r a t i o n s P r o j e c t s - G e n e r a l R a i l O p e r a t i o n s j E n g i n e e r i n g . f i g h t o f W a y S C R R A C o n t r i b u t i o n S p e c i a l S t u d i e s S U B T O T A L F Y 0 7 / 0 8 F Y D 8 / 0 9 P r o j e c t e d B u d g e t A c t u a l R e v i s e d $ 3 , 8 2 4 , 9 0 0 $ 4 , 0 9 0 , 2 0 0 $ 3 , 4 8 0 , 6 0 0 $ 2 7 5 . 2 0 0 . 4 5 4 , 3 0 0 3 1 9 , 0 0 0 4 5 , 0 0 0 7 1 , 4 0 0 9 , 5 0 0 3 6 3 , 5 0 0 4 9 4 , 9 0 0 4 1 5 , 4 0 0 1 , 0 5 8 , 1 0 0 2 , 2 1 2 . 2 0 0 1 , 3 9 6 , 5 0 0 4 7 8 . 6 0 0 5 8 9 , 2 0 G 3 8 5 , 1 0 0 1 9 7 . 8 0 0 3 0 4 , 7 0 0 2 3 3 , 2 0 0 8 4 , 1 0 0 - 6 3 , 0 0 0 - 3 6 , 0 0 0 4 7 5 , 0 0 0 3 0 9 , 8 0 0 1 6 1 , 7 0 0 4 4 1 , 0 0 0 5 7 1 , 5 0 0 7 1 2 , 2 0 0 1 4 0 , 8 0 0 2 2 5 , 9 0 0 1 5 9 , 7 0 0 2 8 0 7 0 0 2 0 2 . 3 0 0 1 7 3 . 1 0 0 3 . 8 3 9 , 8 0 0 5 , 4 9 9 , 2 0 0 4 , 0 0 1 , 4 0 0 4 2 , 7 0 0 5 0 , 0 0 0 4 5 . 0 0 0 1 , 0 1 9 , 6 0 0 1 , 5 3 0 , 0 0 0 1 , 5 7 2 , 8 0 0 2 0 , 1 0 0 5 , 0 0 0 - 1 8 , 2 0 0 5 , 5 1 2 , 9 0 0 6 , 4 6 6 , 6 0 0 6 , 3 3 9 , 6 0 0 1 9 2 . 3 0 0 4 . 4 0 5 , 4 0 0 6 4 7 . 0 0 0 6 , 7 8 7 , 6 0 0 1 2 , 4 5 7 , 0 0 0 8 , 6 2 2 , 6 0 0 % C h a n g e % C h a n g e 3 , 3 2 8 , 9 0 0 - 1 3 _ 0 % - 1 8 . 6 % 4 8 6 , 6 0 0 7 6 . 8 % 7 . 1 % 3 6 , 1 0 0 - 1 5 . 3 % - 4 6 . 6 % 4 8 5 , 9 0 0 . 3 3 . 7 % - 1 . 8 % 2 , 2 8 7 , 2 0 0 1 1 6 . 2 % 3 . 4 % 3 9 5 , 0 0 0 - 1 7 . 5 % - 3 3 . 0 % 3 6 8 , 7 0 0 8 6 . 4 % 2 1 . 0 % 8 6 , 5 0 0 2 . 9 % 3 7 . 3 % 3 4 4 , 9 0 0 - 2 7 . 4 % 1 1 . 3 % 5 7 1 , 0 0 0 2 9 . 5 % - - 0 ; 1 % 2 3 6 . 1 0 0 6 7 . 7 % 4 . 5 % 1 9 0 . 2 0 0 - 3 2 . 2 % - 6 . 0 % 5 , 4 9 0 , 2 0 0 4 3 . 0 % - 0 2 % 1 1 8 , 0 0 0 1 7 6 . 3 % 1 3 6 . 0 % 1 , 9 5 9 , 0 0 0 9 2 . 1 % 2 8 . 0 % 1 0 , 0 0 0 - 5 0 . 2 % 1 0 0 . 0 % 2 0 , 0 0 0 W A W A 5 , 9 7 9 . 6 0 0 8 . 5 % - 7 . 5 % 4 , 3 8 0 . 8 0 0 2 1 7 8 1 % - 1 2 , 4 6 7 , 4 0 0 8 3 . 7 % - 0 . 1 9 6 O t h e r L T F D i s b u r s e m e n t s 9 7 4 , 2 0 0 1 , 3 5 1 , 6 0 0 6 , 0 5 0 , 0 0 0 5 2 1 . 0 % 3 4 7 . 6 % C a p i t a l O u t l a y - 2 9 . 6 0 0 3 0 6 . 4 0 0 _ - - 1 1 . 7 0 0 3 3 3 1 0 0 1 0 2 5 . 3 % 0 . 7 % S U B T O T A L 1 , 0 0 3 , 8 0 0 1 , 6 5 8 , 0 0 0 1 1 , 7 0 0 6 , 3 8 3 , 1 0 0 5 3 5 . 9 % 2 8 5 . 0 % D e b t S e r v i c e P r i n c i p a l P a y m e n t s I r d e r e s t P a y m e n t s 2 4 , 4 0 0 5 0 0 S U B T O T A L 2 4 , 9 0 0 T O T A L G E N E R A L F U N D - - 1 0 0 . 0 % - - 1 0 0 . 0 % W A N / A - - 1 0 0 . 0 % N 1 A S 1 5 . 4 8 1 6 0 0 $ 2 a 7 0 4 . 4 0 0 $ 1 6 . 1 1 6 . 3 0 Q $ 2 7 6 6 9 6 0 9 2 . .

Upon completion of the projects, Caftans takes over the maintenance and operations of the projects. All revenues from the Measure A sales tax have been pledged as security for the Commission's' senior sales tax revenue bonds and commercial paper notes. Debt service on the bonds is recorded in the Debt Service fund, and most of the resources 62 I for the cash payments are provided through transfers out by the Measure A special revenue funds for the 1989 Measure A bonds and by a capital projects fund for the 2009 Measure A bonds. Debt service, consisting principally of interest, for the commercial paper notes is recorded in a capital projects fund, as the notes will be paid from 2009 Measure A sales tax revenues that commence in FY 2009/10.

In June 2008, the Commission issued $126,395,000 in sales tax revenue bonds to refinance the outstanding commercial paper in order to maximize the availability of commercial paper funding for the advancement of 2009 Measure A projects.

The Commission's ilargest single expenditure is debt service. The bond agreements require the trustee to !hold all bond proceeds and a portion of the sales tax revenues and to segregate all ;funds into separate amounts. These monies are included in the restricted investments held by trustee in the capital projects funds and the Debt Service fund. A portion of the debt reserve requirement for the 1989 Measure A bonds has been satisfied with surety policies purchased from a major insurance company and held by the trustee. Under the agreements, the Commission may use sales tax revenues for any lawful purpose related to the Riverside County TIP after the trustee has satisfied debt service requirements. 'The Commission made a conscious decision to issue debt to complete projects in the earlier years of the 1989 Measure A. This strategy brought quick relief to the transportation needs of Riverside County. As a result, the Commission has four outstanding bond issues with a final maturity date in June 2009. Under the provisions of the 1989 Measure A as amended by Ordinance No. 92-1 (Measure AA), the Commission has the authority to issue bonds subject to a bond debt limitation of $525,000,000- Under the 2009 Measure A program, the Commission has the authority to issue bonds subject to a debt limitation of $500,000,000. In order to advance project development activities, the Commission established a $185,000,000 commercial paper program in 2005. In June 2008 the Commission refinanced the outstanding commercial paper notes of $110,005,000 with sales tax revenue bonds for a par amount of $126,395,000 in order to restore the commercial paper program to its maximum capacity for subsequent years' expenditures. 1 67 Chart 19 — Debt Service Fund Sources Investment Income 3% Transfers In 97% Table 46 — Debt Service Fund Sources FY 2007 — 2009 FY 06/07 FY 07/06 FY 07/08 FY 08/09 % Change % Change Actual Revised Budget Projected Budget Actual Revised i Investment Income 1 $ 2,265,100 $ 1,265,900 $ 1,220,400 $ 1,208,200 -45.7% -4.6% Transfers In 34.005.100 35,473,300 35.473 300 35,473A00 4.3% 0.0% TOTAL DEBT SERVICE FUND $ 31,270200 3 36 739200 5 36.693.70Q S 36 68.1.50Q 1.1 % -0.2% 1 Transfers in consist of debt service funding from the 1989 Measure A special revenue funds for highvray, rail, regional arterial, and local street and road projects.

The UCLA. Anderson Forecast completed the last update the in May 2006; however, this forecast was updated in 2008 as a result of the weakened Inland Empire economy that began in 2007. Measure A revenue projections for the next five fiscal years are presented in Chart 20 below. Chart 20 — Forecasted Measure A Sales Tax Revenues 2009 — 2013 175,000.000 150,000,000 125.000,000 100,000,000 75,000.000 50,000,000 25,000,000 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 The following additional assumptions were used in the development of the Commission's revenue forecast for FY 2008/09: • The Inland Empire economy is not expected to improve significantly in FY 2008/09. • The State does not change mix of items subject to the sales tax from what has been included historically. • The relative sales and property tax rates of Riverside and surrounding counties do not change from historical levels. • Internet sales will have minimal impact on revenue. As the transition between the two sales tax measures approaches, the Measure A sales tax revenue projections will be utilized in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan financing strategy and an analysis of a potential increase to be sought in the $500 million 2009 Measure A bonding cap. Geographic allocation - Riverside County is comprised of three geographic areas: Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley. The percentage of Measure A revenues allocated to each of these areas based on retum to source is approximately 74% for Western County, 25% for Coachella Valley, and 1% for Palo Verde Valley. These percentages will experience some variations from year to year based on changes in levels of taxable sales. 72 Chart 21 — Geographic Allocation of Measure A Revenues Palo Verde Vevey 1% Coachella Valley 25% Western County 74% Program allocation - The Measure A TIP defines the manner in which the sales tax revenues are to be spent, as presented in the following table. :Table 50 - Program Allocation of 1989 Measure A Revenues Westem County Highway 38.5% Rail 16.5% Local Streets and Roads 40.0% Commuter Assistance 2.5% Specialized Transit 2.5% Coachella Valley Regional Arterials 40.0% Local Streets and Roads 35.0% Highway 15.0% Specialized Transit 10.0% Palo Verde Valley Local Streets and Roads 100% Based on the projected Measure A sales tax revenues of $135,000,000 for FY 2008/09, the geographic and program allocations are presented in the following table.

The intent of the legislation was to provide a dependable revenue stream for public transportation operations. Based upon an annual projection of LTF sales taxes, the vast majority of LTF revenue in the County is allocated to the eight public transit operators, including the Commission for its share of Metrolink operations costs. Much like Measure A revenue, LTF had increased with the growth of the County and its economy until the ;recent economic slowdown. 73 Revenues received from LTF are allocated for regional and local transportation planning, program administration, bicycle and pedestrian facilities projects, public bus transit, and rail transit in Western County including the Commission for its share related to commuter rail operations. The Commission administers these funds on behalf of the County in a special revenue fund. Effective with the FY 2007/08 budget, this special revenue fund became a budgeted fund due to its significance to the Commission's operations, primarily related to the funding of public transit. State Transit Assistance: STA provides additional TDA state funding of transit operations and capital for urban counties. Sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuels ;generate the STA funding. These funds are allocated to the County's eight public itransit operators. jState Transportation Improvement Program: Administered by Caltrans, the STIP is funded through state and federal gas tax dollars and is California's primary transportation fund. Dollars are allocated to each county based on a formula that takes into consideration population and highway centerline miles. Actual funding decisions for 75% of STIP dollars are made by local transportation agencies such as the Commission. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ): The CMAQ program is federally funded and is targeted for transportation improvements in areas with air quality problems. This program pays for improvements that reduce congestion while improving air quality. The Commission has also used CMAQ dollars to include fuel and commuter assistance programs, signal interconnects, HOV lanes, and transit projects. Federal Transit Administration: On a reimbursement basis, the federal government provides funding for qualified capital investments in rail facilities, track, and vehicles. FTA funding is generally allocated annually by the federal govemment and is based on calculated miles of service. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee: In connection with the 2009 Measure A, the TUMF program was established in the Western County to provide additional funding for regional arterial projects. TUMF is administered by WRCOG. Per the 2009 Measure A, the Commission is to receive up to the first $400 minion in TUMF generated on new residential and commercial development. As a result of an MOU with WRCOG, the Commission will receive 48.7% of the TUMF through June 30, 2009, when the original Measure A expires. Thereafter, the Commission will receive 100%, after an administrative deduction, up to the aggregate of $400 million. This MOU, however, is expected to be amended in early FY 2008/09 whereby the $400 million maximum guarantee is rernoved in favor of continued funding at 48.7% of TUMF revenues. TUMF revenues received by the Commission from WRCOG are allocated equally to the regional arterial and CETAP programs. TUMF revenues maintained by WRCOG are allocated for regional arterial zone improvements and regional transit facilities. Rail and Highway Licenses: The Commission owns parcels of land and rail right of way in selected areas throughout the County. The ownership provides licensing opportunities for fiber-optic cable, advertising signs, and business tenants. The amount ;of funding received from the licenses provides revenue to support the cost of owning land maintaining the Commission's land and facilities_ 74 F Coachella Valley Association of Governments: A portion of the Commission's 1993 sales tax revenue bonds was issued for regional arterial projects in the Coachella Valley. Annually, CVAG reimburses the Commission for 25% of the regional arterial portion of debt service. Service Authority. for Freeway Emergencies: This motorist assistance program places freeway call boxes throughout the freeways and state highways in the County. 'Additionally, the Commission may allocate a portion of the SAFE revenue to support Ithe FSP. The call boxes enable motorists to summon help should they encounter mechanical or emergency problems while on the road. This program is established ;through State law that allows county SAFE agencies to impose a $1 : surcharge on 'vehicle registrations within the County to pay for call box purchases and operations. !Freeway Service Patrol: Caltrans is the primary sponsor of the FSP and provides the majority of funding for the program. The Commission administers and implements the i program along with the CHP and Caftans. Investment Income: The Commission has established a prudent investment policy for cash on hand that is intended to maximize retum while providing absolute safeguards on principal and liquidity. A more detailed explanation of the Commission's investment policy is discussed in Section 1. Interest eamings on the State and County investment pools are estimated at an interest rate of 1.9%. The earnings on funds held by the trustee for debt service and projects in money market funds and investment agreements are assumed to be at 2.0%. Program Revenues Revenues and other financing sources are allocated to the various Commission programs as follows: Highways Funding for the highway program includes Measure A sales tax revenues and interest from loans to, cities to advance their local streets and roads programs. The 1989 Measure A sales tax revenues will be used for the SR-60 East Junction to I-215 HOV lanes connector, SR-60 HOV lanes from 1-215 to Redlands Boulevard, SR-74 widening from 1-15 to r Street and curve realignment, SR-74 from G Street to 1-215, SR-91 HOV lanes from Adams Street to the SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange, SR-86, and SR- 111 projects as well as for pass -through funding to the city of Riverside for SR-91 interchange improvements at La Sierra Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard. Included in revenues is $100,600 of interest earned from loan reimbursement agreements with the cities of Corona, Norco, Perris, San Jacinto, and Temecula. Those funds are used to pay debt service on the 1997 Series B junior sales tax revenue bonds. CMAQ funding will be used for the SR-60 HOV lanes from 1-215 to Redlands Boulevard and the SR-60 East Junction to 1-215 HOV lanes connector projects. STIP revenues represent funding of the SR-91 HOV lanes from Adams Street to the SR-60/SR-91/1- I215 interchange, 1-215 mixed flow lanes from 1-15 to Nuevo Road, and SR-91/SR-71 I 75 connectors. Other state revenues represent Surface Transportation Program (STP) revenues for the SR-60 East Junction to 1-215 HOV lanes connector project. The Commission will need to issue $130,000,000 in commercial paper to fund 2009 Measure A projects including MSHCP land acquisition in Westem County and Coachella Valley, preliminary engineering and right of way activities related to the 10- Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan projects, and Coachella Valley regional !arterial projects. Local revenues consist of $2,730,000 of TUMF zone reimbursement funds from WRCOG for the SR-74/G Street to 1-215 interchange project, $10,500 in other local agency reimbursements, and investment income. Transfers in represent $22,273,800 required for debt service for 1989 Measure A Westem County and Coachella Valley highway projects and commercial paper project funding of $25,762,400 for the 10-Year :Westem County Highway Delivery Plan projects on SR-91, 1-10, I-15, and I-215 and 1$4,125,000 for Coachella Valley highway projects.

Rail operations, which include Metrolink operating and capital_ contributions, station and rail right of way maintenance, and support, will be funded with an allocation of $9,500,000 in LTF sales tax revenues. LTF capital allocations of $1,319,000 will fund the Perris Valley Line, station rehabilitation, and other general station projects. The LTF estimate for rail assumes the LTF apportionment formula (based on population estimates for the ;County's three major geographic areas provided by the .State Department of finance), calculates 22% (established for planning purposes by Commission policy) of the amount available for Westem County, and then compares that with budgeted expenditures. FTA transit capital funding will be used to start preliminary engineering and right of way acquisition for the Perris Valley Line and for construction of the North Main Corona station parking structure. Pass -through FTA section 5309 funding will be used for the Perris multimodal facility construction. CMAQ funds and STIP allocations will be used for the North Main Corona station ;parking structure.

The State's contribution is usually matched with an operating transfer from SAFE; however, there is sufficient fund balance available and no operating transfer is required for FY 2008/09. In addition to investment income, local revenues include other revenues of $83,500 from the city of Riverside for FSP services required for the SR-91/La Sierra Avenue interchange construction project. 80 i • Table 62 — ESP Program Sources FY 07108 FY 08/09 Revised Budget Budget Variance Percent State Budgetary Allocation $ 2,145,300 $ 1,768,500 $ (376,800) -17.6% Other Local 111,400 96,600 (14,800) -13.3% Transfers In 490.000 - (490.0001-100.0% TOTAL S 7.746 70Q $ t -865.100 $ (881$001 -32 1 % !Other Programs A total of $480,000 in revenues is expected from property management licenses and other miscellaneous revenues related to the San Jacinto and San Bernardino 'subdivision ra I program.

As to the sales tax bonds issued under the 2009 Measure A, the Commission received ratings of Aa2, AA+, and AA from Moody's, S&P, and Fitch Ratings. During FY 2008/09, no principal payments are required; however, interest payments of $5,850,000 will be made. In FY 2008/09 the Commission will issue $130,000,000 in new commercial paper notes for the purposes described in the preceding paragraph. The Commission will make $5,350,000 in commercial paper interest payments during the year. The Commission expects to issue bonds to refinance the sales tax revenue bonds and all or a portion of the outstanding commercial paper notes related to the 2009 Measure A in October 2009. Debt Capacity Analysis The Commission is legally prohibited from issuing additional debt if its debt coverage ratio is less than 1.5 to 1 on all senior debt. The Commission has adopted a higher standard of 2 to 1 as part of its debt management policy. As Charts 24 and 25 and Table 64 indicate, the Commission has successfully met its policy standard. Any coverage less than 2 to 1 would necessitate using other program funding to cover all debt service expenditures.

Furthermore, Executive Management is committed to fostering a positive and supportive work environment for staff that emphasizes quality work and encourages teamwork and open communication, while recognizing individual achievement. This is accomplished through a productive and collaborative effort with the members of the Commission and the oversight of the Commission's Executive Committee. Key Assumptions • The Executive Director will play a prominent role with external audiences with an emphasis on working with Congress regarding the reauthorization of the federal transportation act and on advancing transportation policy in California. • Project delivery will be a top priority in FY 2008/09 given the recent award of Proposition 1 B bond funding in the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) and Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) categories. • The Commission will repeatedly be in the public eye as projects ratchet up the public involvement process as part of the environmental analysis that is being conducted on the development of the Mid County Parkway, realignment of SR-79, construction of the Perris Valley Line project, and widening of 1-215_ • The development of the Perris Valley Line project will mark Riverside County's first major rail expansion in more than 10 years and will require significant effort from the Executive Director to obtain approvals from the FTA, local railroads, and community. Accomplishments FY 2007/08 saw extraordinary accomplishments at the Commission, placing it in the top tier of Califomia transportation organizations. In several areas, the Commission stood by itself in successful advocacy, innovation, and leadership. • 97 " L e d t h e c r e a f o n o f t h e S o u t h e m C a l i f o r n i a W o r k i n g G r o u p w h i c h w a s f o r m e d t o a d v o c a t e f o r P r o p o s i t i o n 1 B f u n d i n g o n S o u t h e r n C a l i f o r n i a G o o d s M o v e m e n t p r o j e c t s .

Continuing expansion of commuter rail parking as well as project development and planning for the Perris Valley Line will also be top priorities in FY 2008/09. Due to the continuing significance and volatility of the State's General Fund and budgetary issues on transportation funding, staff will continue to explore ;creative financing opportunities. The Commission issued sales tax revenue bonds in June2008 to address cash flow and to continue a rapid pace of project delivery on 2009 Measure A projects. Regional cooperation and collaboration will continue to be given significant emphasis consistent with the philosophy and mission of this Commission. This has proven successful as part of the Southern California Working Group effort and will become increasingly important to ensure that Southern California receives needed funding when Congress reauthorizes the federal transportation act in 2009. Enhanced external communications will remain a top Commission priority. Media relations will continue to be formally cultivated, and press releases will remain a major effort along with the Commission Connection newsletter. An expanding and systematic outreach to business and civic groups, focusing an the integration of the 1989 Measure A, program with the 2009 Measure A program, will be a central feature of the communications program. While actively participating in all of these major endeavors, the Executive Director will maintain and improve administrative efficiency and fiscally soundpractices' characteristic of the Commission. With a total of 45 budgeted staff positions, the Commission organization remains consistent with Commission direction. The Commission will continue to be competitive in the employment market and will retain capable staff as well as attract high quality applicants. Staff training and development will continue to be intensified enabling our small and dedicated staff to enhance skills, productivity, and value. Our goal is to maintain the most effective mid -sized transportation agency in California. Department Goals Maximize funding for transportation improvements in Riverside County through legislative advocacy and locally controlled funding options such as sales taxes. Objectives: • Implement the Commission's early development project priorities outlined in the recent Commission workshops, focusing on the first 10 years of the 2009 Measure A and the remaining period of the 1989 Measure A expenditure plan. • Advocate federal appropriations for the CETAP corridors, the FTA Small Starts rail funding, and the regional efforts to reduce the community impacts of rail goods movement. 99 " " P l a c e a n e m p h a s i s o n i n i t i a t i n g f e d e r a l l y a u t h o r i z e d a n d f u n d e d p r o j e c t s i n c l u d e d w i t h i n t h e n e w f e d e r a l t r a n s p o r t a t i o n b i l l a n d t h e C o m m i s s i o n ' s o n g o i n g p r o j e c t p r i o r i t i e s .

Through increased participation, the Commission is able to play a stronger leadership role at all levels of govemment to advance its interests and policy goals. The importance of this is magnified when the Commission is seeking changes in law or needs legislative authorization to move forward with a specific project. The Commission's Legislative Affairs efforts focus on taking full advantage of opportunities at both the federal and state levels when there is a potential impact to Commission programs. In doing so, the Commission maintains its role as a major legislative force and a statewide leader on a broad range of issues affecting transportation policy such as project delivery and enhanced funding. This requires the establishment and maintenance of ongoing communication with Riverside County's legislative delegations in Washington and Sacramento. The Commission accomplishes this via a combined effort that includes Commissioners, staff, and legislative consultants in the two capitols. Specific legislation in the coming year will be necessary to advance a number of important Commission work efforts. The Commission has received good news in the past year regarding the Perris Valley Line project with a favorable project rating from the FTA and the inclusion of $50 million in funding in the President's proposed Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2008/09 budget. The Commission will need to work with Congress to ensure the funding is maintained and will result in full funding for the project in 2010. The issue of federal legislation and working with Congress will have heightened awareness in the coming year because of the likely reauthorization of the federal !transportation bill in 2009. A significant amount of groundwork will take place 111 • through the latter half of the 2008 calendar year and the early part of 2009 to formulate the federal legislation which govems federal transportation policy and spending for as long as six years. In anticipation of this priority, the Commission has already bolstered its lobbying presence in Washington, D.C. to play an influential role in shaping this legislation. Yet another legislative priority for the Commission is to seek federal authorization for tolling on 1-15. !, A'key project in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan is to construct two HOT lanes on the 1-15 between SR-74 and the San Bernardino {County line. Along with the HOT lane authorization, the Commission is working !jointly with the RTA to obtain federal funding for the development of bus rapid transit service on the HOT lanes when they are constructed. Developing effective partnerships with agencies such as RTA, SunLine, and CVAG will be an important component of the Commission's federal lobbying strategy in dealing with .the federal transportation bill reauthorization process. Ideally, Riverside County will communicate a unified message to Congress regarding its mobility needs. During the coming year, the Commission will play a leadership role in bringing various agencies together in this effort which will includes, cities, the county, and transit operators. While federal legislation will have a high profile in the coming year, state legislative relations are equally important. During the past year, a number of CTC actions have taken place to allocate Proposition 1B funds. The Commission has played a leadership role, in this process and has been successful in developing a Southem California Consensus approach to goods movement which should lead to funding for railroad grade separations. In the coming year, legislative actions are likely to codify the State and Local Partnership Program and additional grade separation funding. The Commission must also work with the Legislature regarding the need to obtain tolling authorization on I-15 and to extend the 91 Express Lanes. The Commission is sponsoring ! AB 1954 by Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries to provide tolling authorization on 1-15. The Commission is also co -sponsoring SB 1316 by Senator Lou Correa that will allow for the extension of the 91 Express Lanes into Riverside County. Both', bills were passed by the first houses in May 2008 and will be considered by the second houses over the summer 2008_ If both bills receive final approval, the Govemor may sign the bills in as early as September 2008. Communications The Commission is committed to communicating with and educating a broad arena of interested parties on the roles and responsibilities of the agency. Emphasis is placed on informing Riverside County residents and businesses about transportation projects and services and maintaining open communication with other transportation stakeholders. Various forms of media and communication tools are used in these outreach efforts with the overall objectives to provide accurate, informative, and easily accessible information; facilitate public participation in the Commission processes; and increase interagency coordination and cooperation. 112 The Deputy Executive Director is responsible for communications with the news media and prepares text for Commission materials, presentations, and speeches. Along with the. Executive Director, the Deputy Executive Director and Community. Relations Manager actively participate in public presentations at the local, regional, and state levels to represent the Commission's interests. i Strong relationships with the news media are very important to ensure that the public l is well informed regarding the Commission's progress in determining funding priorities, designing infrastructure improvements, and constructing projects. There are many points throughout these processes in which the public can and should play a role in shaping the future of the County's transportation network. I Key Assumptions '• The Deputy Executive Director will oversee the legislative affairs work: effort with support from the Govemment Relations Manager and legislative consultants. • The annual newspaper report to the public will be distributed throughout the County. • The Commission Connection newsletter will be published regularly as well as distributed electronically and posted on the Commission website. • The Speakers Bureau effort will continue to seek local community opportunities to expand outreach regarding the Commission's activities. • The Commission's website will be updated and refreshed on a regular basis. • Additional communications tools and opportunities will be explored for incorporation into the ongoing program to help build public awareness of Commission activities. • The Commission will take a leadership role in formulating a countywide direction on federal transportation policy in order to influence the reauthorization of the federal transportation act. • The Commission will take an active role throughout the legislative process in Sacramento to obtain authorization for tolling on SR-91 and 1-15. • Publicoutreach will take a heightened role as project development activities accelerate on projects such as the widening of 1-215, the SR-91 HOV lanes, the Perris Valley Line project, the Mid County Parkway, and the SR-79 realignment. • Construction updates regarding the construction of a new parking structure at the North Main Corona Metrolink station will continue to be a priority and will require coordination with the city of Corona and Metrolink as well as riders who regularly utilize the station. • Goods movement will remain a key policy priority for the Commission and there will be an emphasis to ensure that Riverside County receives significant funding for this need from state and federal govemments. Accomplishments • Participated in efforts to obtain Proposition 42 funding for goods movement projects throughout the county including railroad grade separations. 113 " " P u b l i s h e d a f o u r p a g e a n n u a l r e p o r t s u p p l e m e n t i n t h r e e m a j o r n e w s p a p e r s T h e P r e s s E n t e r p r i s e , D e s e r t .

At the state level, ongoing state funding problems will likely result in the diversion of state transportation funding. The uncertainty of state funding has led the Commission to consider new funding strategies such as toll financing to build new projects: Still, there is a need to be especially active in state legislative matters to ensure that Riverside County needs obtain proper consideration and funding. While funding is always a priority, legislative changes are also needed to ensure that :funding of any kind is spent efficiently. During the coming year, the Commission will !seek legislative approval of two bills for the implementation of HOT lanes on SR-91 land 1-15-in Corona. These two projects are part of the Commission's 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan. Another priority will be to ensure that $50 :million in proposed federal funding that has been submitted by the President for the Perris Valley Line project is included in the approved FFY 2008i09 budget. Finally, there is a need to develop a countywide approach for dealing with Congress on the reauthorization of the federal transportation act. Communications The Commission provides information to the public through various channels including: 1) participation at public meetings and service clubs; 2) production and provision of resource materials and fact sheets; 3) maintenance and enhancement of the Commission's website; and 4) development of newspaper press releases, radio public service announcements, and cable television spots. The Commission's largest publication effort to provide widespread understanding of its projects and expenditures is its four -page annual report which is published in three area newspapers throughout the County. Broad distribution of the Commission Connection, a monthly 'one -page, two-sided newsletter highlighting actions of the Commission and emerging topics, will continue as part of the Commission's communications efforts. Efforts will continue to update and expand the Commission's contact database including e-mail addresses in order to support distribution of the Commission's public information materials. Efforts will be made to increase the Commission's public information program targeted to citizens and businesses within the County as well as a broad array of public and private entities involved in the world of transportation. A focus will be placed on the development and. placement of periodic informational ads in the. County's major newspapers. The ads will be targeted to geographic areas and will communicate relevant information to the reader audience. A continuing emphasis will be placed on providing communications support to major project development efforts including the Perris Valley Line, Mid County Parkway as part of the CETAP program, and ongoing highway construction projects. The need for proactive public communication and outreach remains important, as the Commission continues to move forward with the delivery of the 2009 Measure A i 115 " " " w o r k p r o g r a m .

A formal organizational accountability program was approved in January 2006 to address fraud risk, ethical conduct, financial and operational disclosure, and maintaining the public's confidence in the Commission. Accordingly, measures are in the process of development and implementation based on a conceptual framework related to oversight, reporting; fraud, internal control, and ethics. Key Assumptions • The commercial paper program will restored to its`$185 million fundingcapacity as a result of the issuance of sales tax revenue bonds in June 2008 with sales tax revenue bonds that refinanced the outstanding commercial paper. The commercial paper program will continue to provide short-term .advance funding for projects included in the 2009 Measure A as well as grant anticipation funding for the Perris Valley Line project. • The Commission will pay 100% of the annual required contribution related to the postretirement health care benefits. Arbitrage calculations related to the outstanding debt issues will be performed by a consultant on an annual basis. Directors and program managers will continue to have adequate project budget and accounting information to make informed decisions. • The indirect cost allocation plan submitted to Ca!trans will continue to be approved and used in determining state and federal reimbursements of project costs. • Investments will be maintained primarily in state and local agency investment pools for short-term liquidity purposes; however, investments in mid-term treasury and federal agency securities will be made as available funds are identified. The overall interest rate is conservatively projected to be 1.9%. • A centralized procurements and contracts management function will replace existing processes. Accomplishments • Implemented a reorganization plan of the Finance Department, as a result of two additional accounting positions, in order to increase staff specialization in the areas of primary responsibility. • Hired a sales tax audit services firm to perform a review and analysis of sales tax reporting to detect possible misallocations of sales tax revenues due to the Commission and to provide a quarterly analysis and report of statewide and Riverside County trends related to sales tax composition, changes, and performance. • Engaged a professional services firm to provide intemal audit services. A risk assessment was completed in May 2008 and will be used to determine an audit plan. 121 " I i " S e l e c t e d a n d e n g a g e d t w o a u d i t f i r m s t o p e r f o r m t h e a u d i t s o f t h e C o m m i s s i o n a n d t h e T r a n s p o r t a t i o n D e v e l o p m e n t A c t c l a i m a n t s / M e a s u r e A r e c i p i e n t s f o r t h r e e y e a r s p l u s t w o o n e - y e a r o p t i o n p e r i o d s . q M e t w i t h t h r e e r a t i n g a g e n c i e s i n A p r i l 2 0 0 8 r e g a r d i n g t h e i s s u a n c e o f b o n d s t o r e f i n a n c e t h e o u t s t a n d i n g c o m m e r c i a l p a p e r a n d a c h i e v e d r a t i n g s o f A A + , A a 2 , a n d A A f r o m S & P , M o o d y ' s , a n d F i t c h R a t i n g s , r e s p e c t i v e l y .

Upon completion in April 2008 of the business risk analysis phase of the internal audit risk assessment program, an audit plan consisting of approximately three internal audit projects per year will be developed and approved as part of the next major effort related to the organizational accountability program. An outcome of the projects included in the audit plan will be operational solutions such as process improvements. The Finance Department will continue to keep abreast of GASB technical activities affecting the Commission's accounting and financial reporting activities. Ongoing technical projects that may affect the Commission include fund balance reporting and governmental fund type definitions as well as the accounting and reporting for derivatives. As a result of the addition of a procurement and asset manager and a staff analyst to support procurements and contracts management, Finance management will implement a centralized procurements process to manage requests for proposals or qualifications and related contract development. Accordingly, this will strengthen controls to ensure consistency in the application of procurement policies and procedures and adherence to applicable laws and regulations, especially those related to federal and state grants. Furthermore, these positions will assist in the property management functions of the Commission's commuter rail stations. Department Goals Protect the Commission's cash resources by regular monitoring of investment practices to ensure consistency with established investment policy. Objective: e Achieve a rate of retum at least equal to the County of Riverside Treasury Pool rate. Manage the Commission's outstanding debt ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations and continued investor awareness and receptivity to the Commission's program. Objectives: • Provide an annual update and review of the debt programs with rating agencies no later than June 2009. • Meet continuing disclosure requirements of the debt programs. • Prepare arbitrage calculations as required. Ensure the Commission and funding recipients comply with Measure A and TDA laws and regulations as they relate to the annual financial and compliance audits as well as close cooperation and coordination with independent auditors. 123 • " I " O b j e c t i v e s : " M i n i m i z e t h e n u m b e r o f s u b s t a n t i v e m a n a g e m e n t l e t t e r c o m m e n t s a n d c o m p l i a n c e f i n d i n g s r e q u i r i n g c o r r e c t i v e a c t i o n b y t h e C o m m i s s i o n .

Short-range planning and programming involves the development of the five-year STIP and preparation of the six -year Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) for Riverside County. These programming documents identify projects and their respective funding and schedules. The Commission's involvement with long-range planning efforts includes the coordination and input into planning efforts throughout the County and southern California region. These efforts include participation in local, bi-county, and regional corridor studies, including, but not limited to, continued development of the CETAP corridors and the RTP (a 30-year transportation plan) developed by SCAG in 'conjunction with county transportation commissions, sub -regional agencies, local agencies, transit operators, and other interested parties. The Comr ssion is responsible for approving projects for Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds and coordinating with Ca!trans on the selection of Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds as part of the STIP approved by the CTC every two years. Last year the CMIA program was approved by the CTC, which is one of the various categories included in the Proposition 1B transportation bond package that was approved by the voters in November 2006. This year another Proposition 1 B category, the TCIF, was approved by the CTC: The Commission is a member of the Southem California Consensus Group that developed 'and submitted project proposals for consideration of funding from the TCIF program: As with the RIP and IIP funds, CMIA and TCIF funds are administered and allocated by the CTC. Programming specifically involves the development, review, and approval of projects for various funding programs. In order to receive federal funds and approvals, all projects funded with federal and state dollars, or local projects that are regionally significant,must be included in the FTIP. SCAG is responsible for incorporating all six -county (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura) transportation improvement programs into one regional programming document and conducting a conformity analysis with the adopted air plans to ensure compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This effort is performed every'18 to 24 months. The Commission is responsible for allocating the following local, state, and federal funding sources: 133 Local Sources: • 1989 and 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plans • TUMF regional arterial program State Sources: • SB 821 bicycle and pedestrian projects • RIP Federal Sources: • TE • STP • 'CMAQ The Commission also serves as the CMA for the County and is responsible for developing and updating the CMP. The CMP was developed to meet state legislation and federal Congestion Management System (CMS) requirements, which includes an enhanced traffic monitoring system. The CMP's highways and regional arterials are regularly monitored to ensure that they are not operating at deficient levels [Level of Service (LOS) "Fl. If a deficiency occurs along the CMP system, a deficiency plan must be prepared that identifies mitigation measures and/or projects that will improve the LOS to "E" or higher. Key Assumptions • The Commission will continue its efforts in working with transportation partners to streamline and improve project delivery. • A Special Use Permit has been obtained and federal funds have been obligated to allow initiation of geotechnical field testing in the Cleveland National Forest to determine the feasibility of tunnel construction for the Irvine - Corona Expressway. • Project development work for CETAP corridors will be funded with a combination of local, state, and federal funds. • The consultant contract for CMP services is maintained to provide assistance with ongoing traffic monitoring efforts, biennial updates to the CMP, and support on other related planning activities. • The Commission will continue the progress of transportation projects identified in the 1989 Measure A and the 2009 Measure A as well as other high priority projects, including TUMF Regional Arterial projects. • The consultant contract for TUMF project development and oversight will be maintained. • The Commission will continue participation in local, bi-county, and regional planning efforts representing the interests of the County. 134 " " T h e C o m m i s s i o n w i l l w o r k w i t h t h e C T C a n d l o c a l p r o j e c t s p o n s o r s t o i m p l e m e n t p r o j e c t s f u n d e d w i t h S T I P - R I P , C M I A , a n d T C I F t o e n s u r e t h a t t h e p r o g r a m m i n g a n d t i m i n g o f a l l o c a t i o n s a r e c o n s i s t e n t w i t h p r o j e c t s c h e d u l e s .

As a result of SB 45, the Commission is responsible for ensuring that projects funded with STIP funding are administered and implemented consistent with CTC and Ca!trans policies. Two percent of RIP funding available to Riverside County was allocated for :staff support to carry out STIP PPM activities. Transportation Enhancement funds are also administeredthrough the STIP. TE funds are federal funds and are not subject to general fund diversions; however, TE funds are authorized each year by the passageofthe state budget. CMIA and TCIF funds are monitored by Caltrans and the CTC. Baseline agreements are developed for each project under these programs. Any changes to project funding, scope, or schedule will require an amendment to the baseline agreement. The CTC allocates the CMIA and TCIF funds and the process for allocating the funds is similar to the process established for STIP RIP-IIP funds. Included in the 2009 Measure A is a provision that identifies $400 million of TUMF revenues collected on the Westem County TUMF network to be allocated to TUMF regional arterial projects. Of the $400 million, $200 million is slated specifically for the CETAP corridors and the other $200 million for regional arterial projects. In September 2004 the Commission established a 5-year program and approved $71.7 million to fund project development work for 24 regional arterial projects. An amendment to the $400 million provision is underway and will lift the $400 million cap. This will allow the Commission to fund the CETAP and Regional Arterial Program projects above the $400 million cap. The Commission initiated strategic partnership efforts to identify and evaluate innovative financing strategies. Innovative financing will likely be necessary to fund the significant gap between funding readily available through conventional govemmental funding/financing techniques and project needs. Innovative financing including the use of public toll roads will be necessary to fully fund the 10-Year Westem County Highway Delivery Plan. Transportation Planning The Commission's role in planning throughout the year will involve working with SCAG, sub -regional agencies, local agencies, and the other county transportation commissions intheregion on various planning efforts relative to the 2008 RTP including, but not limited to, corridor studies, goods movement studies, and efforts to update transportation computer modeling upgrades and project databases. During FY 2006/07, the Commission coordinated the project listing submittal for inclusion in the 2008 RTP update. In FY 2007/08, the Commission prepared comments on the draft 2008 RTP to ensure the Commission's policies and goals are reflected. 136 " I n F Y 2 0 0 8 / 0 9 t h e C o m m i s s i o n w i l l c o n t i n u e i t s w o r k e f f o r t s o n t h e C E T A P c o r r i d o r s .

Staff prepared and submitted the 2008 STIP nominations by the February 19, 2008 deadline. Amendments to the current 2006 STIP will continue for projects that have changes in project scope, schedule, and funding. Projects requiring time extensions may be granted by the CTC if deadlines cannot be met; however, they are not guaranteed. SB 821 Annually, the Commission releases a call for bicycle and pedestrian projects in April The Commission establishes an evaluation committee to rank eligible projects that meet the established criteria. Project recommendations are approved by the Commission in June of each year. The Commission approved 16 projects in the amount of $1.6 million for FY 2007/08. The FY 2008/09 call for projects will have funding of $1.3 million available for award. These expenditures are included in the LTF special revenue fund, which is reflected in the Transit Department since this fund's activities relate primarily to transit funding. Federal Funding CMAQ, STP, and TE The Commission is responsible for allocating CMAQ, STP, and TE funds to transportation projects. The Commission has directed staff to program SAFETEA- LU funds (CMAQ and STP) to projects that were impacted by the state budget crisis and/or the recent rise in construction material costs with the exception of the CMAQ funding that is apportioned to the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB). The Commission defers the selection of projects for SSAB CMAQ funds to CVAG. In 2004 the CTC restructured the administration of the TE program by incorporating it in the STIP. Since TE funds are federal, they are not impacted by the state budget. In 2005, the Commission approved 18 projects totaling $17.6 million over fiscal years 2006/07-2009/10. These projects are included in the 2008 STIP. During FY 2006/07, two projects were allocated in the amount of $917,290. It is anticipated that five projects will be allocated by the end of FY 2007/08 totaling $6.7 million. During FY 2008/09, approximately $4 million is available to be allocated to TE projects. Project Monitoring In 2006, a consultant firm was awarded a contract to develop a web -based project management database.

The entire program includes elements of planning, programming, commuter rail development and support, station and corridor management, mitigation of community and environmental impacts, legislative and regulatory advocacy, and construction of capital projects. Many elements are managed or supported by other Commission departments, legal counsel; and consultants. Departmental efforts contributing to the rail program are found throughout the budget document. Coordination and consultation also occur with a variety of public and private entities including the CTC, Ca!trans, California Public Utilities Commission, Califomia High Speed 'Rail Authority, Federal Railroad Administration, FTA, Amtrak, environmental agencies, the University of Califomia (UC), transit providers, SCAG, WRCOG, CVAG, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), local govemments, private freight railroads, businesses, and property owners. The Commission participates in the ongoing funding and governance of Metrolink by SCRRA, a joint powers authority consisting of the county transportation commissions of Riverside, I,San Bemardino, Orange, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties. The Commission holds two voting positions on SCRRA's eleven member board. Commission staff serves on the five -county Technical Advisory Committee which negotiates service and funding levels, based upon the county's established priorities, and provides technical assistance, coordination between various SCRRA and commission departments, and linkages to local communities. Of the seven commuter rail lines operated by Metrolink, three routes consisting of the Riverside, IEOC, and 91 Lines directly serve Western County. Unlike the other SCRRA member agencies, the Commission owns and operates the commuter rail stations serving Riverside County: Riverside Downtown, Pedley, La Sierra, West Corona, and North Main Corona. Stationoperation and maintenance costs are included in the Rail Department budget with services currently coordinated by the Right of Way Department in FY 2007/08 and transferring to the Finance Department's Procurement and Asset Management Division in FY 2008/09. New and ongoing construction projects at these stations are described in the capital budget managed by the Capital Project Development and Delivery Department. Key Assumptions • Metrolink's preliminary FY 2008/09 budget is adopted by the Commission and SCRRA. • Ridership and fare revenues continue to grow on the Riverside, IEOC, and 91 Lines. • The Commission manages the station security guard contract. Estimated costs are based on the actual contract terms with a portion to be reimbursed by SCRRA. 145 Accomplishments • Started construction on the 1,000 space North Main Corona parking structure and developed a comprehensive parking strategy to minimize disruption to existing passengers during construction. • Supported the holiday toy train events at Riverside County commuter rail stations including the kick-off event at the North Main Corona station. Community participation grew substantially with record attendance at the four station events, and the Spark of Love Toy Drive generated a record number of toys for local charities. • Achieved the largest annual growth rates in the Metrolink system ,on two routes serving Riverside County with the Riverside Line growing by 11% and the IEOC Line by 6%. Major Initiatives Over the last 15 years, significant capital improvements have been made on the private freight corridors over which the Commission's commuter rail services operate. Current major initiatives include construction of a 1,000 space parking structure at the North Main Corona station. Additionally, the Commission is working with OCTA and SANBAG to advance additional 1E0C and 91 Line train service by 2010. The development of the Perris Valley Line project and its operational impacts will continue to be evaluated.

The Commission approved the study and recommended advanced study of extensions on the San Jacinto Branch Line. (SJBL) to Hemet/San Jacinto and Murrieta/Temecula. The next phase of Altemative Analyses for these corridors will be pursued in 2009. The second phase of the Commuter Rail Feasibility Study is an 1-15 Commuter Rail Feasibility Study which examines the viability of constructing new tracks between Corona and San Diego via Temecula. The study was completed in June 2007 with the results presented to the Commission. The Commission determined that this service was not feasible to pursue at this time but could be reexamined in the future. San Jacinto Branch Line The Commission holds title to and manages the 38-mile SJBL and several adjacent properties, preserved for future passenger rail service. Burlington Northem Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) holds the freight rights in the corridor, providing service to local shippers, and performs maintenance on the line. Perris Valley Line Small Starts Project In June 2000, the Commission allocated $20 million of Measure A funds for capital and operating expenditures related to the implementation of passenger rail service on the initial operating segment of the SJBL, known as the Perris Valley Line. latest project cost estimates total $168 million. Staff is seeking a full funding grant agreement from the FTA Small Starts Program to fund at least $75 million of the project cost with the balance to be funded by other federal, state, and private funding sources, as illustrated in Chart 38 and Table 75. Details on this capital project are included in the Capital Project Development and Delivery section.

Based on updated information, the LPA was changed to the BNSF connection in April 2008. The project has received FTA approval to begin project development: The draft environmental assessment has been circulated for public review and comment and is nearing completion. The FY 2008/09 budget in the Capital Project Development and Delivery section includes total project expenditures of $26 million. Facilitating efficient freight service on the line continues to be a priority, and as a result, the Commission will continue to work with all communities (residentia, business, schools) through the public outreach program for this project. Chart 39 — Perris Valley tine Map 149 Passenger Rail to Coachella Valley In recent years the Commission has also focused attention on the creation of intercity passenger rail service between the Coachella Valley, Riverside, and the Los Angeles basin through advocacy efforts with state, federal, and local govemment entities and negotiation with the freight railroads. The Commission's current efforts include seeking capital and operating funds and coordinating with Amtrak and Caftans. High Speed Rail The Commission continues to play a proactive role in the development of a statewide, high-speed passenger rail system, including routing of the backbone corridor through the Inland Empire with possible stations in the Riverside area, Murrieta, and Temecula.. The California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) has completed a draft program EIR and program EIS for a 700-mile high speed train system serving Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, Orange County, and San Diego. In 2007, the CHSRA completed the project level Los Angeles to Riverside Feasibility Study to identify alignment issues along the corridor. The CHSRA along with SANDAG would like to work with the Commission to pursue a similar feasibility study between Riverside and San Diego. Key Assumption • Project development on the Perris Valley Line will continue in FY 2008/09. Accomplishment • Received a medium -high rating from the FTA on the Perris Valley Line, allowing the Commission to commence project development activities. The President's Administration has earmarked $50 million in the FFY 2008l09 budget. • Evaluated conceptual plans to provide for additional layover track capacity at the Riverside Downtown station. • Completed a joint Commuter Rail Station Needs Assessment Study with SCAG and OCTA to identify opportunities for improvements at the commuter rail stations. Major Initiatives During FY 2008/09, the Commission will complete construction of Phased of the Perris multimodal facility. Additionally, as discussed above, project development and right of way acquisition related to the FTA Small Starts Perris Valley Line project is expected to continue.

For 19 years, the Commission has provided operating grants and capital to a number of non-profit agencies in Western County to assist in the provision of very specialized transit services. The riders, many frail and elderly; have come to depend on these services which provide a higher level of assistance than can be provided by the public transit providers and/or operate in areas not served by public transit. It is anticipated that in April 2008, a call for projects covering FY 2008/09 and FY 2009/10 will be released for Westem County Specialized Transit Program, including the non -emergency medical transportation component. In order to assure the availability of funds to support matching of FTA Section 5310 capita! grants, $150,000 on an annual basis is budgeted for Westem County applicants to meet the 11.47% local matching requirements for such grants. Department Goals Provide timely information to the public regarding Commission implemented projects and support public relations activities of Measure A funded programs by grant recipients. Objective: • Produce and distribute public information materials as needed including ,press releases, flyers, brochures, marketing materials, and newspaper ads. Allocate Measure A Specialized Transit funds to support services which will maintain andlor enhance mobility for seniors, persons with disabilities, and the truly needy. Objectives: • Monitor performance of Specialized Transit grant recipients through analysis of their quarterly performance reports. • Continue discussions with the Office on Aging and the United Way to encourage funding of transportation projects by these agencies. Assistance to screen eligible transportation programs and monitoring the cost effectiveness of these proposals will continue to be offered to both agencies. • Support the FTA Section 5310, 5316 and 5317 grant process to improve mobility for seniors, persons with disabilities and individuals of limited means by working with Ca!trans, public operators, and social service agencies to ensure a competitive process statewide for the allocation of federal transportation dollars for social service programs. • Provide technical assistance and program support to agencies offering specialized transit programs to ensure the maximum benefit of funding for improved mobility for. seniors, persons with disabilities, and individuals of limited means. Continue to provide staff resources to assist and support the coordination of transit services within the County and throughout the State. 162 ,. 4 I Objectives: • Implement ,mobility management countywide. • Regularly participate in meetings that focus on the coordination of transit services, such as the California Association for Coordinated Transportation, SunLine's Access Committee, RTA's ADA Committee, the Riverside County Foundation on Aging Board of Directors, the Older Californian Traffic Safety Task Force, and the Commission's Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council. Continue Ithe development of a marketing and distribution network for communicating specialized transit mobility options to seniors, the disabled, and persons oftlimited means.

Transit is primarily comprised of LTF special revenue fund activities related to allocations for transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, planning and administration. The LTF special revenue fund iwas an unbudgeted fund in prior years; due to its significance to the Commission's operations, the LTF special revenue fund became a budgeted fund commencing in FY 2007/08. Professional costs of $122,400 include the costs to hire consultant staff to implement the Coordinated Plan as well as to maintain TransTrack. LTF disbursements consist of transit operating and capital allocations of $75,133,400, bicycle and pedestrian facilities allocations of $1,367,100, and planning and administration allocations of $2,880,500. 164 Table 78 —Transit Expenditure Detail FY 06/07 FY 07/08 FY 07/08 FY 08/09 Dollar .

Planning includes the development of the countywide SRTPs for eight public transit operators consisting of the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Corona, and Riverside; SCRRA's Metrolink commuter rail; Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency; RTA;. and SunLine. The Commission assists in coordinating the development, review, and approval of the annual countywide SRTPs and allocates transit funding resources. The Commission has responsibility for funding transit programs using Measure A, LTF, STA, and FTA Section 5307, 5309, 5311, 5316, and 5317 funds. 165 Proposition 1B approved by the voters in November 2006, included a program of funding for allocation to eligible public transportation projects. Proposition 1B funds are designed to help protect the environment and public health, conserve energy, reduce congestion, and provide altemative mobility and access choices for Califomians. Proposition 1B funds are annually appropriated by the legislature and to be used for transit related capital purchases or infrastructure/facility improvements_ In partnership with the County's transit operators, the Commission coordinates the allocation of available Proposition 1E3 funding and ensures proposed projects meet the mobility needs of the County. With the passage of SAFETEA-LU, two new federal funding sources for transit service i referred to as JARC and New Freedoms are available. In addition, based on available funding, the Commission may conduct an unmet transit I needs hearing in the Palo Verde Valley. The Commission has operator oversight and fiduciary responsibilities to ensure that annual fiscal audits and a state triennial performance audit are conducted. The Commission is also charged with annually reviewing transit operator activities and recommending potential productivity improvements to lower operating costs.

Chart 43 — Commuter Assistance Capital Outlay Personnel 1% 4% Projects and Operations 80% Professional 7% Support 8% Expenditures Commuter Assistance expenditures and transfers out total $7,515,300, which represents a 0.9% increase from last year's budget. Professional costs of $ 467,500 have decreased 14.4% over the prior year due to the completion of the new marketing materials and program collateral. Support costs totaling $512,300 include mailand printing services, computer and vehicle maintenance, communications, and other office expenditures. The FY 2008/09 support costs reflect a 20.6% decrease resulting from completed projects. Projects and operations expenditures consist of a traffic flow detection project of $2,300,000; consultant services totaling $1,892,200 to manage and implement the program; merchant vouchers valued at $630,000; a transit operating contribution of $200,000; and park and ride lease payments of $190,000. The 1-15/1-215 detection project, the integration of transit schedule information into the RideGuides, and other Commuter Assistance special projects will be carried over from the FY 2007/08 budget. These special projects are intended to fund the strategic planning effort for the Commuter Assistance program as it moves toward implementation of the 2009 Measure A. 168 Table 79 — Commuter Assistance Expenditure Detail FY 06/07 FY 07/08 FY 07/08 FY 08/09 Dollar Percent Actual Revised Budget Projected Budget Change Change Salaries and Benefits $ 249,000 $ 185,900 $ 190,800 $ 255,500 $ 69,600 37.4% Professional Costs Legal Services 16,000 20,000 18,700 20,000 0.0% Professional Services -Other 430.200 526.10Q 384;600 447.500 (78.6001 -14.9% Total Professional Costs 446,200 546,100 403,300 467,500 (78,600) -14.4% Support Costs I Projects and operations Program Engineering Program Construction Park and Ride Regional Transportation Total Projects and Operations Capital Outlay Transfer Out TOTAL Commuter Assistance 411,100 645,400 508,600 512,300 (133,100) -20.6% - - - N/A - 2,300,000 - 2,300,000 - 0.0% 43,100 90,000 41,800 190,000 100,000 111.1% 1,948,200 2,562,900 1.934.900 .2,722,200 159.300 6.2% 1,991,300 4,952,900 1,976,700 5,212,200 259,300 5.2% 9,900 120,000 67,000 40,000 (80,000) -66.7% 1,000,000 1,027,800 27,800 2.8% $ 3.107.50Q $ 7.450.30Q $.3.146A0Q t 7 515.34 $ 65 000 121 Commuter Assistance Staffing Summary Department Budget Overview Department Description White much of the Commission's work is focused on increasing transportation infrastructure and capacity, there is significant value in ensuring that the transportation systems are used efficiently. To help foster more efficient use of these systems, the Commission's Commuter Assistance Program seeks to encourage Riverside County 169 i constituents/commuters to make a mode -shift decision away from solo vehicle commuting and into a shared commuting arrangement. The Commuter Assistance Program seeks to influence driver behavior by fostering a mode shifting decision at both the employer and commuter levels via the following methods: • The use of incentives both for beginning and then maintaining a mode- s h ift/rideshare arrangement; • The provision of employer services to foster the implementation of employer - based mode -shift and rideshare programs; and • Public information services including the dissemination of traveler information through technology in order to foster congestionavoidance behavior by commuters. The Commission's Commuter Assistance Program was implemented as a specific requirement under Measure A to address congestion mitigation. While ridesharing has a beneficial impact on air quality, first and foremost, it is a strategy to ease traffic congestion through increased use of alternative forms of transportation including carpools, vanpools, buspools, public bus, Metrolink, congestion avoidance, walking, bicycling, and telecommuting. Key Assumptions • The Commission will place the contract to implement the program out to 'bid via the request for proposal (RFP) process during FY 2008/09 with the new contract to be effective at the beginning of FY 2009/10. • The Commission will continue to contract with the current consulting firm to implement the Commuter_ Assistance Program for FY 2008/09. A transition plan to deal with .>. _potential ramifications to program implementation arising from the RFP process will be in place as part of the consultant's budget. • At the regional level, four county transportation commissions (Los Angeles, Orange, , San Bemardino, and Ventura) will contract with the Commission for the provision of regional ridematching database and network operations, the provision of ridesharing • information services, and operation of the regional website www.CommuteSmarl.info and its transition into the regional 511 system. • Maintaining its long-term partnership with the Commission, SANBAG will contract with the Commission to manage and implement a "sister" Commuter Assistance Program for its residents and employers in San Bemardino County. Accomplishments • Based on the strategic planning effort conducted in the previous year, the Commuter Assistance Program created a commute benefits calculator for employers specific to the Inland Empire region, a complete new suite of marketing collateral, a new 170 " R i d e s h a r e P l u s w e b s i t e , a n d a n e w s h o r t f o r m e l e c t r o n i c c o m m u t e r s u r v e y t o b e u s e d f o r n o n - S C A Q M D r e g u l a t e d e m p l o y e r s .

The Commission will be performing this work on behalf of its regional rideshare partners who will contribute to the project cost. In continuing support of ridesharing through the Commuter Assistance Program shopping cart of services, a GRH Program to serve Inland Empire employers will continue to be delivered in FY 2008/09 for both Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The Commission is also highly involved in the regional decision for the implementation of 511 and the dissemination of Advanced Traveler Information services. 511 is an unfunded federal mandate arising out of TEA21 and SAFETEA-LU, and it requires that real-time or near real-time traffic and traveler information be provided to the public. Staff has continued to represent the Commission by serving on the evaluation panel for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (Metro) SAFE procurement of a regional 511 system. Should this procurement move forward, staff will continue to represent the Commission and Riverside County residents and commuters in a technical advisory role so that the Commission's needs are adequately met by Metro's implementation. Additionally, by participating on the MSRCTechnical Advisory Committee, Commission staff was able to assist in the shaping of the work plan by outlining a program that will devote MSRC grant funds to regional 511 marketing. This work plan is expected to deliver $1 million across the entire SCAG region for marketing and promotion of a regional 511 system. To further support the traffic map portion of the regional rideshare website, the Commission will continue to provide funding to Ca!trans for the installation of approximately 75 radar detection stations on the 1-15 and 1-215 corridors (covering 63 miles of freeway) to the San Diego County line. These detection stations are intended to support an increased traveler information service area for Western County including information contained on the live traffic maps published on www.CommuteSmart.info, 511, and private sector providers. This effort will also result in the provision of live travel 172 " " t i m e s i n t o a n d o u t o f t h e T e m e c u l a V a l l e y o n C a ! t r a n s D i s t r i c t 8 c h a n g e a b l e m e s s a g e s i g n s .

Towing costs have decreased 15.5% because of the termination of FSP service for the SR-60/SR- 91/1-215 construction project. Professional costs of $34,500 include legal services and contracted consultants to monitor the Commission's call box program and to provide monthly operating and statistical reports for the program.

Additionally, the FSP assists stranded motorists on certain segments of the freeway by towing, changing flat tires, t 177 i• i • i I• • and providing a gallon of fuel at no charge to the motorists. FSP service is also provided in construction zones through separate funding agreements with Caltrans to help mitigate congestion. Key Assumptions Current percentage levels of vandalism, knockdowns, and miscellaneous repairs to call boxes will remain consistent with the past year. Annual maintenance costs are based on a flat -fee contract based on the number of call boxes. Call box operating costs are based on estimates from the CHP and the call answering center contract through SANBAG. Cellular service charges are based on the existing five-year agreement for digital cellular service. Costs for ADA site accessibility retrofits are basedon estimates of work to be completed in FY 2008/09. Tow truck contractor costs for the nine existing FSP beats are based on Commission -approved contracts. Accomplishments • ; Continued the implementation of recommendations identified in the Riverside County SAFE 5-Year Plan by converting from analog to digital cellular technology and installing TTY's throughout the call box system. • Worked with the call box consultant to analyze the decline in call volume along with the need to maintain a "safety net" system for motorists in Riverside County and to develop a call box reduction plan to responsibly meet those needs. • Expanded FSP coverage on the SR-60 and 1-215 by working with the CHP and Caltrans to identify and justify the need for additional FSP beats, issued RFPs for the two beats, and awarded contracts for service on the new beats_ • Added one vehicle for midday FSP service (8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) to Beat #4 on SR-91 to mitigate congestion during the construction of the SR-91/La Sierra Avenue improvement project. • Discontinued midday FSP service on portions of SR-91 and SR-60/1-215 as construction was near completion on the SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange. • Implemented an FSP phone/online survey mechanism for more cost effective and more efficient processing of customer feedback. Major Initiatives The call box system reduction was completed in 2007; therefore, the implementation of the remaining recommendations in the SAFE 5-Year Plan will continue. Projects to enhance accessibility and retrofit sites will affect approximately 670 call boxes. The modifications will involve reconfiguring sites to meet new site standards, relocating boxes behind guard rails, replacing pedestrian pads, lowering call boxes on the poles, or replacing the sites with the new "L" or "M" site design, as described in the SAFE 5- Year Plan. 178 Staff will complete the implementation of the AVL system for the tow trucks. All of the FSP vehicles and drivers will be fully equipped by early FY 2008/09, representing the first SAFE in the State to implement the use of this technology. Department Goals Maintain the integrity of the call box system and service levels. Objectives: • Along with San Bemardino County SAFE, continue to monitor the operation of the call answering center contractor. • Implement the balance of the Commission's recommendations from the SAFE 5- Year Plan Continue the Freeway Service Patrol as long as state funding support is available. Objectives: • Research and address radio reception issues along 1-15. • Consult with Caltrans and the CHP to evaluate existing beats and determine if changes in service hours, number of vehicles assigned to each beat, or expanded service hours are justified should additional funding become available. • Review proposed construction projects with Caltrans and coordinate the use of temporary tow service to mitigate congestion. • Work cooperatively with Caltrans, the CHP, and other FSP program managers to gain increased funding for the program and review the funding allocation formula to attain a more equitable distribution of program funds. • Complete the implementation of the AVL system.

The delivery of a capital project can include tasks such as feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, environmental clearance, final design, right of way acquisition, construction, and construction management. Approximately 73% of the Commission's i budget originates in this department managed by the Project Delivery and Development Directors responsible for the capital program. The primary goal of Capital Projects is to accelerate delivery of the Measure A, !Proposition 1B CMIA and PTMISEA, STIP, and federally funded highway, regional arterial, and rail capital improvement projects throughout the County. Highway improvements currently in progress include the addition of carpool and HOT lanes, widening and realignment projects, and interchange improvements as well as planning for new CETAP corridors. The Commission will continue its efforts to protect right of way for the identified highway improvements as funding permits. Regional arterial capital improvements include funding for Westem County TUMF regional arterial projects approved by the Commission in 2004 as a result of a call for projects and Coachella Valley projects identified in a commercial paper advance funding agreement. Commuter rail capital improvements include a new parking structure, the Perris Valley Line, and a multimodal facility in the city of Perris. This department also provides the necessary coordination between the Commission and Ca!trans for the development of scope, cost, and project delivery schedules for Measure A projects that are funded by the STIP and Proposition 1B CMIA. Capital Projects also has lead agency status over certain demonstration projects identified in SAFETEA-LU. The 2009 Measure A program includes stipulationsfor agencies in Western County to be eligible to receive the new Measure A local streets and roads funds beginning in. 2009. Each incorporated city in Westem County and the County must participate in the TUMF program, which is administered by WRCOG. Additional requirements include participation in the Westem County MSHCP and submittal of an annual capital improvement program. In FY 2003/04 the Commission and WRCOG entered into an MOU which identifies a distribution of the TUMF revenues prior to the 2009 Measure A which commences in July 2009. The distribution, after deduction of a WRCOG administrative fee, is 48.7% to . the Commission for regional arterials and CETAP corridors. The remaining revenues are distributed to WRCOG for the five TUMF improvement zones and for regional transit facilities. Given the staff support required to oversee and participate in the project development work, consisting of preliminary engineering and right of way activities, final design, and construction for the capital projects, costs for staff and related support have been included in this department budget. 184 " K e y A s s u m p t o n s " T h e C o m m i s s i o n w i l l c o n t i n u e i t s e m p h a s i s o n c o m p l e t i o n o f t h e 1 9 8 9 M e a s u r e A p r o g r a m .

The budgeted amount is set by formula established in the Measure A TIP. Local jurisdictions will receive $50,085,300 for focal streets and roads maintenance, repair, and construction. Each jurisdiction's respective allocation is based on population (Western County and Palo Verde Valley) or dwelling unit (Coachella Valley) and the amount of sales tax generated. A number of jurisdictions in the Western County have entered into loan agreements with the Commiss on for advance acceleration of 1989 Measure A local streets and roads revenues. The annual principal and interest payments for these loans are deducted by `the Commission from each;city's respective disbursements based on the terms of the. l loan agreements. The participating jurisdictions are the cities of Corona, Norco, Perris, San Jacinto, and Temecula. Additional agreements have been executed with CVAG and three cities to advance acceleration of 2009 Measure A regional arterial or local streets and roads revenues through participation in the commercial paper program. 1 La Quinta is the only city in the Coachella Valley which does not participate in the Coachella Valley TUMF Program. Accordingly, La Quinta's Measure A allocation is remitted to CVAG in lieu of the TUMF. The Coachel a Valley has a discretionary five percent of its Measure A sales tax revenues that may be allocated for either local streets and roads or transit as determined by CVAG. CVAG has usually elected to allocate such revenues to transit. Detailed descriptions of the capital projects, including local streets and roads funding, that are included in the FY 2007/08 budget follows the Performance/Workload Indicators. Implementation of tolling facilities within the SR-91 and 1-15 corridors, two major projects in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan, requires obtaining ' tolling authority from state and federal jurisdictions. Efforts to obtain this authority include successful passage of state legislation, approval of state and federal toiling authority applications, and administrative approval from Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Department Goals Continue prudent right of way protection and preservation activities for Measure A and TUMF projects to control long-range project costs and project feasibility. Objectives: • Purchase property to protect right of way required for future projects, as funding is available. • Coordinate the design of Measure A- and TUMF-funded highway improvements with local agencies and private property owners as practical. 187 Build upon and strengthen the partnership with Caltrans toward timely delivery of identified Measure A, CMIA, and STIP projects. Objectives: • Develop agreements with Caltrans and FHWA, as may be required, to finalize project scoping and cost issues for the STIP, federal demonstration, and Measure A fundedhighway projects in Riverside County. • Provide quarterly contract status and cost schedule reports to the Commission and Caitrans. • Meet the project milestones identified in the CMIA agreements between Commission, Caitrans, and the CTC. To the extent permitted by law, pursue reasonable involvement of local DBE firms and minority and women business enterprises in contract work. ' Objective: • Maintain goal for a minimum DBE participation in all federally funded contracts. Continue to review quarterly report on DBE participation levels. Provide effective communication of project progress to the Commission board members, Caltrans, CTC, and FHWA. Objective: • Develop a strategy with Caltrans District 8 that would allow the Commission to advance specific projects identified in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan to take advantage of any unexpected state or federal funding which may become available through increased state or federal budget authorizations or potential loan programs to advance construction. Work with Caltrans and other agencies toward completion of preliminary engineering and environmental clearance of all projects. Objective: • Work with Caltrans, the County, and the cities in Riverside County to complete preliminary design and environmental clearance for Measure A projects that could be eligible to receive additional or early funding from various sources that could become available if a project is sufficiently developed. Complete the construction of the highway projects identified in the budget. Objectives: • Complete the SR-111 project in the Coachella Valley. • Continue to provide funding and support for interchange improvements along the SR-91. 188 In coordination with the Rail Program Manager, construct capital improvements at existing commuter rail stations as identified in the budget. Objectives: Complete construction of the North Main Corona station parking structure. • Complete construction of the Perris multimodal facility. • Continue preliminary engineering, complete environmental clearance, and start right of way acquisition for the Perris Valley Line.

Riverside County can trace its beginning back to 1893 when voters approved the formation of a new county. The area was carved from parts of San Bernardino and San Diego counties; In its 115 years of existence, the County's economy has diversified and prospered. Originally, Riverside County was a, very agricultural area, known for a wide variety of crops grown on its fertile soils. :The County remains a strong agricultural area, but it is increasingly becoming a leader in manufacturing, transportation, construction, and tourism. The success of the area has brought dramatic population growth to Riverside County (Chart 46). Since the 1980's, the County has been one ofthe fastest growing counties in the state. The available and; affordable housing in Riverside County has attracted many, people to the County; however, a housing slowdown has occurred in recent years primarily as a result of the effect of the subprime'mortgages and the ensuing credit crisis (Chart 47). During the growth period, jobs also increased as many firms relocate to the area and move away from older communities; however, the Current economic slowdown has caused the County's unemployment rate to edge up from its near all-time lows (Chart 48). I The overall economic outlook for Riverside County is expected to improve by 2010 based on various economic forecasts. The area is preparing for its future as well in supporting better education. The County is home to a number of colleges and universities including UC Riverside.

The prior years' increases in retail sales had a positive effect on the sales tax receipts generated in the County, which has a 7.75% sales tax rate including the Measure A rate (fable 84).

M e a s u r e A 2 1 returned to the Coachella Valley area. The Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fee schedule shall be established in order to generate at least the equivalent of Measure A funding toward the regional arterial system Local Streets and Roads Measure A provides revenues to local jurisdictions for the construction, repair, and maintenance of local streets and roads. The County and local cities are required to supplement those expenditures with other previously dedicated revenue sources to maintain road improvements at a level equal to or greater than the base year amount (fiscal year 1987/811). LTF provides revenue for local street and road improvements in the Palo Verde Valley and unincorporated areas of the County. Specialized Transit Measure A provides revenues to improve transportation services for seniors, persons with disabilities and commuters. For seniors and persons with disabilities, it provides dial -a -ride cab service at night for emergency purposes, guarantees half-price bus fares, and assists centers with their transit programs. For commuters, it improves express bus service and expands ridesharing programs. In the Coachella Valley, revenues also are available for bus replacement and local bus service. Commuter Assistance The purpose of this program is to provide short term incentives to encourage single occupant vehicle drivers to use alternate modes of transportation including carpools, vanpools, bus pools, public bus, commuter rail, walking, and bicycling. Motorist Assistance The Motorist Assistance program has two elements. The Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) is a special team of tow trucks that travel on selected Riverside County freeways during peak commuter hours to assist drivers when their cars break down. The other element is the call box system, which installation and operation is made possible with revenue provided by the public. One dollar per year from every motor vehicle registration pays for the call boxes and their operation and maintenance. Call boxes are being provided by the Commission, which serves as the County's Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE). Bicycle and Pedestrian LTF provides revenues for the construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and related right -of --way costs. Transit The Commission is the agency responsible for short range transportarion planning and programming and coordinating the operation of all public transportation service within the County. The Commission allocates and disburses TDA funds to the transit operators for operating and capital purposes. General Terms The following explanations of terms are presented to aid in understanding the narrative discussions and illustrations included in this budget document and the terminology generally used in governmental accounting, auditing, fmancial reporting, and !budgeting. Accountability The state of being obliged to explain one's actions, to justify what one does. Accountability requires a government to answer to its citizenry to justify the raising of public resources and the purposes for which they are used. Accounting System The methods and records established to identify, assemble, analyze, classify, record, and report a government's transactions and to maintain accountability for the related its and liabilities. Accrual Basis of Accounting The accounting of the financial effects of transactions, events, and interfimd activities when they occur, regardless of when cash is received or paid. Advance Refunding Bonds New bonds 'slued to refinance an outstanding bond issue before the date the outstanding bonds become due or callable to obtain better interest rates and/or bond conditions. Proceeds of the advance refunding bonds are deposited in escrow 213 with a fiduciary, invested in U.S. Treasury Bonds or other authorized securities, and used to redeem the underlying bonds at their maturity or call date and to pay interest on the bonds being refunded.. Agency Fund A fiduciary fund type used to report resources held by a government for others in a purely custodial capacity and cannot be used to support the government's own programs. The Commission's agency _fund is the Local Projects Agency Fund which accounts for the proceeds from a subordinate debt issue for various cities' local street and road projects. Audit A systematic collection of the sufficient, competent evidential matter needed to attest to the fairness of management's assertions in the fmancial statements or to evaluate whether management has efficiently and effectively carried out its responsibilities.

Bond A written pmmise to pay a specified sum of money (face or principal amount) at a specified date or dates in the future (maturity date), together with periodic interest at a specified rate. Bonds are primarily used to finance capital projects. Budget A plan of financial activity for a specified period of time indicating all planned revenues and expenditures for the budget period Annual budgets are usually required by law and are essential to sound financial management.

The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenues remitted to the Commission by Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) reflect receipts through February 2008. TUMF revenues have declined 54.1 % for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The housing crisis has had a significant impact on . the Inland Empire's local economy. As a result of the decreasing revenue trend, the Commission approved on February 13, 2008, a budget adjustment reflecting a $17.25 million decrease in TUMF revenues for FY 2007/08. This budget adjustment is included in the attached March 31, 2008 financial statements. The expenditure categories are in line overall with the expectations of the budget. Administrative salaries and benefits are slightly over 75% for the ,nine -month period due to temporary, nonrecurring staffing charges. Staff expects this category to be in line at the end of the fourth quarter. After exclusion of non -Measure A related administrative salaries and benefits and consideration of current Measure A receipt trends, Measure A administrative salaries and benefits are projected to not exceed the 1 % limitation on administrative salaries and benefits. Listed below are the significant capital projects and the status. The budget assumptions are based on project activities starting at the beginning of the fiscal year. Any deviations will have an impact to the budget: Highway Engineering/Construction/Right-of-Way/Land State Route 60 to Interstate 215 East Junction — Engineering efforts were increased in conjunction with the change in project scope. The amendment to the consultant's contract was approved by the Commission on September 14, 2007, and a pre -award audit for this amendment was completed in March 2008. SR-74 Curve Realignment — A decision to proceed with project development is pending, considering the city of Hemet's application for project funding through the 2009 Measure A regional arterial program. 1-215 Bi-County Project — San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) is the lead agency and the Commission is responsible for 25% of the consultant's fee. Preliminary Engineering had been delayed until SANBAG's recent decision on traffic and scoping. A preliminary assessment of the required scope of work has been identified, and project delivery team meetings have reconvened since February 2008. Agenda Item 8B 226 SR-91 Van Buren Interchange — The city of Riverside is the lead agency and has experienced delays related to environmental issues. The environmental process is now complete and right of way acquisition has commenced. Construction is not scheduled to start until FY 2008/09. SR-91 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes between Adams Street and 7'h Street — Approval of the environmental document was received in August 2007, and as the lead agency; Caltrans commenced the final design phase. Right-of-way acquisition was initiated following approval of the environmental document. Budget and definition of right of way requirements are being completed as part of the final design. The Commission is providing support with the right-of-way acquisition activities. SR-74 from G Street to 1-215 — Following Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approval of the modified access report, the Commission issued a notice to proceed to initiate the "at risk design of the project in March 2008. SR-91 High Occupancy Toll (HOT) and Mixed Flow Lanes — Project startup took longer to ramp up than anticipated. SR-91/SR-71 Connectors — Project was initiated following the completion of the pre -award audit in February 2008. 1-215 from Nuevo Road to Box Springs Road — Project activities have not commenced. 1-215 from Murrieta Hot Springs to Scott Road and Scott Road to Nuevo Road — This project is proceeding on schedule; however, consultant invoices have not been received for all services performed. 1-15 HOT Lanes from SR-91 to SR-74 — Project was initiated with the completion of the pre -award audit, and a notice to proceed was issued in April 2008. SR-91 Green River Interchange — Project started in April 2007, and billing from Caltrans is lagging. Invoices through the end of February were recently received and will be reflected in next quarter's report. SR-91 La Sierra Interchange — Work on the interchange did not start until October 2007. An invoice from the city of Riverside for $5.2 million was received in May and will be reflected in the next quarter's report. SR-60 HOV Valley Way to 1-15 Interchange — Project has been completed. Agenda Item 8B 227 Mid -County Parkway and SR-79 Realignment Projects - A slow down in land development has caused a reduction in the right of way protection activities. Rail. Engineering/Construction/Right-of-Way/Land Perris Valley Line - Federal Transit Administration approval to enter preliminary engineering was received in December 2007. A notice to proceed was issued to STV, Inc. to start the preliminary engineering in December 2007. Riverside Downtown Station Eastside Parking Lot - Final invoice and retention was released for payment in April for the Eastside parking lot project. The project is complete and the Commission has filed a certificate of completion with the Riverside County Recorder's office. Perris Multimodal Facility - Surveys have been performed to determine the need and location of temporary construction easements. Final design is complete and now awaiting funding appropriation by the California Transportation Commission in July 2008. Construction is anticipated to start in October 2008. North Main Corona Parking Structure - Construction started in January 2008. This was later than expected as the Commission was awaiting the appropriation of Congestion Management Air Quality (CMAQ) funding. Local streets and roads expenditures reflect allocation payments made for the revenues received through January as noted above. The downward trend in Measure A revenues directly affects these expenditures. Intergovernmental distributions are expended as one-time LTF payments made based on claims submitted by Coachella Valley Association of Governments and WRCOG. Unused funds in this category are related to the WRCOG claim, which was paid in the fourth quarter, and planning and programming departmental expenditures. Capital outlay expenditures are under budget due to unexpended authority for potential office improvements, if any, and station improvements. Staff expects some of these improvements to take place in the fourth quarter of FY 2007/08. Debt service interest expenditures are made in December and June, while principal payments are made in June. Staff will continue to monitor the revenues and expenditures and notify the Commission of any unusual events.

The Commission's project management activities have significantly increased with the ramp up of project development for the 2009 Measure A and the wrap up of delivery of 1989 Measure A projects. The flexibility of obtaining additional support from Bechtel as needed for specific project needs is important and avoids the need to increase Commission staff. The Best, Best & Krieger (BBK) contract for FY 2008/09 reflects an increase of $268,100, which is primarily attributable to general legal services for capital project delivery and implementation activities related to highways and commuter rail under the 1989 Measure A and 2009 Measure A plans. General legal services related to management services and regional programs are comparable to or lower than amounts budgeted in FY 2007/08. These general legal services exclude reimbursable appraisal costs that may be procured by BBK for more complex right of way acquisitions related to the SR-91 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes project from Adams Street to the 60/91 /215 interchange. The Comarco Wireless Technologies (Comarco) contract expires December 31, 2008 and provides for routine corrective and preventive maintenance of call boxes, including knockdowns and vandalism. Comarco was selected as a result of a competitive procurement in 2001, in which it was the only responsive bidder, and has provided these services since the inception of the call box program. A request for proposal process is not anticipated immediately upon contract expiration, and Comarco has been included as a recurring contract for the last six months of FY 2008/09. The increase in cost is due, primarily, to the higher maintenance costs of the new digital/TTY call boxes. Comarco's CPI increase for the year is 3.29%.

Challenges in more than one economic sector press the California economy as it moves toward a year or two of flat to negative growth. The purpose of this summary is to provide Riverside Co RCTC with an overview of economic trends and pressures affecting the economy. The percent change in cash receipts over the prior year was 0.1 % statewide, 0.5% in Northern California and (-0.2%) in Southern California. The period's cash receipts include tax from business activity during the period, payments for prior periods and other cash adjustments. When we adjust out non -period related payments, we determine the business activity performance for the period. Overall business activity declined for the year ended 4t Quarter 2007 by (-0.9%) statewide, (-0.5%) in Northern California, and (-1.2%) in Southern California. After adjusting the business activity for inflation, we learn that California experienced declines of (-4.0%) statewide, (-3.5%) in Northern California and (-4.2%) in Southern California. KEY FACTORS Several key factors influenced the sales tax revenue during the year ended 4t Quarter 2007. The following table outlines the major influences on sales tax. Economic Influences on Sales Tax Fuel Costs I Housing Market Troubles Auto Sales General Retail • Increased sales tax from Service Stations. • Decreased revenue from Building Materials as building, remodeling and cash -out refinancing slowed. • Significantly decreased revenue from New Auto Sales. • Declining consumer spending.

A g e n d a I t e m 8 E 2 5 0 Designation of Highway 111 for Coachella Valley Measure A Highway Funds Under the 1989 Measure A, the Transportation Expenditure Plan, also referred to as the TIP, included a provision that 15% of the Measure A. funds would be allocated to Highway 111 improvement projects. The TIP identifies Highway 111 from Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard. Since the passage of Measure A, the designation of Highway 111 has been changed as portions of the original alignment . have been relinquished by the state and are now maintained by local jurisdictions. In addition, Highway 111 was realigned in the city of Palm Springs and now is located on Vista Chino Drive between Indian Canyon Drive to Gene Autry Trail, as well as the segment of Gene Autry Trail from Vista Chino Drive to South Palm Canyon Drive. CVAG requested a legal opinion in Attachment 2 regarding the possibility of using Measure A funds on portions of the original alignment that are no longer part of the Highway 111 system, and if Measure A funds can be expendedon the new alignment not identified in the original alignment. Commission staff also requested a legal opinion in Attachment 3 regarding the ability to add segments not identified in the original alignment. The legal opinion indicated that a reasonable argument can be made that supports the expenditure of funds on portions that have been relinquished by the state. The legal opinion also states that a reasonable argument can be made that supports the expenditure of Measure A funds on the new alignment. The legal opinion further concludes the following: "In either case, it is within the authority of the Commission to interpret its ordinance. As explained further below, the Commission's interpretation must be consistent with the voter's intent. As either interpretation described is reasonable, we believe that the Commission may select either interpretation as evidencing the intent of the voters. The Commission may consult with CVAG in determining the most reasonable interpretation of the voter's intent. Our office recommends that the Commission make its findings on the record, at a public meeting of the Commission." CVAG has submitted a letter in Attachment 4 requesting the Commission to process an amendment to the TIP adding the following segments to Highway 111: a► In Palm Springs, from the intersection of Ramon Road and Gene Autry Trail, north on Gene Autry Trail to Vista Chino Drive, thence west on ---- -Vista Chino -Drive -to North Palm Canyon Drive, -thence northerly on the existing Highway 111 alignment to Interstate 10; Agenda Item 8E 251 " b ) I n I n d i o , f r o m t h e c r o s s i n g o f G o l f C e n t e r P a r k w a y o v e r I n d i o B o u l e v a r d , n o r t h e r l y o n G o l f C e n t e r P a r k w a y t o I n t e r s t a t e 1 0 ; a n d c ) I n I n d i o , f r o m t h e i n t e r s e c t i o n o f H i g h w a y 1 1 1 a n d I n d i o B o u l e v a r d , s o u t h e a s t e r l y o n I n d i o B o u l e v a r d a n d G r a p e f r u i t .

The Transportation Expenditure Plan, also referred to as the Transportation Improvement Plan ("TIP"), was attached as Exhibit B to Measure A and was • incorporated therein by reference. The TIP identifies State Highway 111 ("Hwy 111 ") from Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard as one of the projects in the Coachella Valley for which Measure A State highway funds are to be appropriated and expended. A map depicting the then -current Hwy 111 designation between Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard (the "Original Alignment') was part of the TIP. Since the passage of Measure A, the designation of Hwy 111 has been changed. Portions of the Original Alignment have been relinquished by the State and are now maintained by local jurisdictions. Additionally, new segments of roadway located in the Coachella Valley and not identified in the TIP. as part of Hwy 111 have been designated by the State as Hwy 111, and are thus now officially part of the State highway system ("New Alignment"). Notably, the New Alignment now bypasses the intersection of Ramon Road and Palm Canyon Drive. Pursuant to a request for direction from the Executive Director of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments ("CVAG"), you have asked our office to review the Measure A documents, in light of thechanged circumstances, and to provide an opinion on the appropriate expenditure of the Measure A funds earmarked for State highway improvements in the Coachella Valley (15% Measure A Funds"). QUESTION PRESENTED 1. Can the 15% Measure A Funds be expended on portions of the Original Alignment that have been relinquished by the State and are no longer part of the Hwy 111 system? 2. Can the 15% Measure A Funds be expended on the New Alignment not shown on the map included in the Measure A ballot documents identifying the TIP projects? ' RVPOBIHSHANE1744257.1 254 BRIEF ANSWER A reasonable argument can be made that the 15% Measure A Funds can be spent on all 'portions of the Original Alignment, including the portions that have been relinquished by the State. Alternatively, a reasonable argument can also be made in support of authorizing the expenditure of the 15% Measure A Funds on the portion of the New Alignment commencing at the intersection of Ramon 'Road and Gene Autry Trail, and south to Palm Canyon Drive.' In either case, it is within the authority of the Commission to interpret its ordinance. As ;explained further below, the Commission's interpretation must be consistent with the voter's intent. As either interpretation described above is reasonable, we believe that the Commission may select either interpretation as evidencing the intent of the voters. The Commission may consult with CVAG in determining the most reasonable interpretation of the voter's intent. Our office recommends that the Commission make its findings on the record, at a public meeting of the Commission. ANALYSIS I. Standard for Interpreting Measure A. It is a cardinal rule of statutory construction that a court will interpret a measure adopted by a vote of the people in such a manner as to give effect to the intent of the voters adopting it. (Diamond International Corp. v. Boas (1979) 92 Ca1.App.3d 1015.) Further, in interpreting a measure , adopted by vote of the electorate, the words contained in such measure are to be understood consistent with their popular meaning absent strong and convincing reason to the contrary. (Burger v. Employees' i Retirement System (1951) 101 Cal. App. 2d 700, 702.) Under the principles of statutory construction, one should first look to the plain meaning of the statute. (Delaney v. Superior Court (1990) 50 Cal.3d 785, 798; Penner v County of Santa Barbara (1995) 37 Cal.App.4th 1672, 1677.) If the language is clear and unambiguous there is no need for construction, nor is it necessary to resort to indicia of the intent of the Legislature (in the case of a statute) or of the voters (in the case of a provision adopted by the voters)." (Lungren v. Deukmejian (1988) 45 Ca1.3d 727, 735.) A statute is considered ambiguous; however, if it is capable of more than one interpretation, both or all of which are reasonable. (Hughes v. Bd. of Architectural Examiners (1998) 17 Cal. 4th 763, 776.) In such case, a reviewing court will generally consider evidence of the Legislature's intent (or in this case, the voter's intent) beyond the words of the statute. A reviewing court may examine a variety of extrinsic aids including, "the statutory scheme of which the provision is a part, the history and background of the statute, the apparent purpose, and any considerations of constitutionality, 'in an attempt to ascertain the most reasonable interpretation of the measure."' ( Id. citing Watts v. Crawford (1995) 10 Cal. 4th 743, 751.) �-Expenditure of thesefundsontheNewAlignmentnorth of this intersection. and west on Vista Chino from Gene_ Autry_________ __ Trail to Palm Desert Drive would appear to require an amendment to the TIP. RV PIJBIRSHANEl7442571 -2- 255 I As further discussed below, the plain meaning of Measure A as applies to the expenditure of the 15% Measure A Funds in the Coachella Valley for the Hwy 111 project was clear at the time of adoption of the Measure. However, in light of the changed circumstances regarding the alignment of Hwy 111, there now appears to be an ambiguity in the statute. 2. Possible Interpretations of Measure A. a. General Provisions of Coachella Valley Portion of TIP: The Coachella Valley portion of the TIP states as follows: "The Transportation Improvement Plan generally illustrates the proposals for the Coachella Valley Area. The area includes the cities of Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, :Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, and Rancho Mirage..." (Emphasis added.) Under Section ] of the Coachella Valley portion of the TIP, appears the heading "State I Highways and Major Regional Road Project" ("Section 1"). Section 1 provides as follows: "Fifty-five percent of the Measure A funds generated within the Coachella Valley will be used for state highways and major regional road projects. The Coachella Valley is served by few state highways. The • proposed Regional Arterial System developed through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments would function much like state highways to address future needs for the area. Of the 55% share, about one -quarter will supplement federal and state funds for the following state highway projects:" (Emphasis added.) Section I includes a table showing the state highway projects to be funded out of the one -quarter share of the 55% of Measure A funds generated within the Coachella Valley. (Emphasis added.) In this table, "various operational improvements" to Hwy II I from Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard in the cost range of 20 million dollars (S20,000,000) is identified as one of the 15% Measure A Fund projects. This portion of the TIP further provides that: 'The remaining Measure A share of this fund will be used to implement the planned Regional Arterial System. The estimated cost for arterial system improvements will exceed S200 million.... The highest priority projects include the Mid -Valley Parkway (from Gene Autry north of Vista Chino to 1-10 at Monterey), Palm Drive/Gene Autry Trail (from the Mid -Valley Parkway to Desert Hot Springs), Fred Waring Drive (from Route l 11 in Palm Desert to Indio Boulevard), and Jefferson Street (from Avenue 54 to Indio Boulevard.) R V PUBV 1 SnAN E V 49257.3 -3- 256 In addition to the general identification of the Hwy 111 project from Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard contained in the table, the map depicting the TIP projects (the "Map") identifies the :Original Alignment as the area designated for improvement. b. Interpretation 1 — The 15% Measure A Funds may be utilized on the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment: As noted above, depiction of the Coachella Valley Hwy 111 project on the Map clearly ; identifies a particular route which is to be improved, the northwestern boundary of which commences at the intersection of Ramon Road and Palm Canyon Drive. Although Section I does state that the jfunding shown in the table in Section 1 is for state highway projects, voter's may have been more concerned with improving the particular route depicted on the Map, than with using these funds only for improving the state highway system. There is no state law governing use of the Measure A funds !that would restrict expenditure of the 15% Measure A funds to the state highway system, or that would preempt an interpretation of the Measure that would allow use of these funds outside of that system. The question; therefore, is one of interpretation and effectuation of voter intent. While interpreting Measure A to allow expenditure of the 15% Measure A Funds on the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment would be inconsistent with certain policies of the Measure and certain aspects of the statutory scheme, as further discussed below, it would be consistent Iwith the overall apparent purpose of Measure A. The overriding purpose of Measure A is to provide for transportation improvements in Riverside County as identified in the TIP. There is no question that the entire Original Alignment is included in the TIP which was passed by overwhelming vote of the electorate. Further, there was no inconsistency in the Measure at the time of adoption, and if the language is applied as to the alignment in existence at the time the voter's adopted Measure A, the voter's intent to fund the alignment shown and generally described in the TIP is clear. Therefore, it would appear reasonable to apply the literal meaning of Measure A, as applicable at the time of adoption of the Measure, and to interpret expenditure of the 15% Measure A Funds on the Original •Alignment, even those portions no longer part of the State highway system, as consistent with the intent of the voter's in passing the Measure. c. Interpretation 2- The 15% Measure A Funds may he utilized on specified portions of the New Alignment: The Measure A sample ballot submitted to voters states that the Measure is designed to: "Further reduce traffic congestion and increase safety by widening or improving Highways 60 (Pomona Freeway), I-215, 111, 74, 79, 86 and the Mid Valley Parkway in the desert...." Under the "Goals and Policies" section of Measure A, one of the stated goals is to "Provide for equity in the distribution of Measure A revenues Under this goal, the following policy is stated: "Provide for a reasonable balance between competing highway, commuter rail, transit, and local street and road • needs." In order to achieve this policy, specified percentages of Measure A funding are designated for the various competing transportation uses and improvements_ The Coachella Valley portion of the TIP identifies the funding share to be used for state highway projects, regional arterial system projects, local streets and roads projects and other transportation related services. Although the Map depicts a particular designation of Hwy 111, there is a reasonable argument that in approving Measure A the voters intended to allocate the twenty million dollars (S20,000,000) identified for Hwy 111 to that State highway, within the Coachella Valley, regardless of its particular alignment. Since the RV PUB\HSHANE17442573 -4- 257 `intersection of Ramon Road/Indian Canyon Drive has been bypassed and is no longer part of Hwy 111, iit would arguably be a reasonable interpretation of the voters intent to allow use of these funds on that portion of the New Alignment from the intersection of Ramon Road and Gene Autry Trail, north to 'Palm Canyon Drive_ Such use of the 15% Measure A Funds would be consistent with the language of .the project description found in the TIP, which describes the project as "Rte 111; Limits: Ramon to Indio Boulevard". It would also be in accord with the policy, stated in the Measure, of providing for a balance between competing improvement and servie,e needs and allocating the 15% Measure A Funds for state highway improvements only. Further, it would support one of the stated goals of Measure A, which is to improve Hwy 111. There is; however, some risk of legal challenge since the New 4 Alignment is not Consistent with the alignment depicted in the Map. j d. An amendment to the TIP is needed to authorize expenditure of the 15% Measure A Funds on the full New Alignment. Because that portion of the New Alignment north of the Ramon Road/Gene Autry Trail intersection and west on Visto Chino from Gene Autry Trail to Palm Desert Drive, was not identified in the project description of the TIP, or in the Map, the Commission may subject itself to legal challenge if it interprets Measure A to allow funding of this portion of the New Alignment without amending the TIP. Public Utilities Code section 240302 prescribes the procedure for amendment town expenditure plan. This procedure is included in Measure A and requires: (1) initiation of an amendment by the commission pursuant to findings of necessity; (2) approval by the board of supervisors; (3) approval by a majority of the cities constituting a majority of the incorporated [ populations. An amendment to Measure A is the safest route, from a legal perspective, for authorizing any funding of the New Alignment through Measure A_ e. Interpretation 3 — The 15% Measure A Funds may be utilized on both the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment and the specified portions of the New Alignment. The Commission could find that the voter's intent is unclear in light of the change in circumstances, and could determine that Interpretation 1 and Interpretation 2 are both equally reasonable. If the Commission makes this finding, it could allow use of the 15% Measure A Funds on both the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment and the specified portion of the New Alignment. This is potentially the weakest position to take, from a legal perspective. f. Interpretation 4- The 15% Measure A Funds may not be utilized on either the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment or the specified portions of the New Alignment. The Commission could find that neither Interpretation I or Interpretation 2 is consistent with the intent of the voters. In such case, the Commission could determine that the 15% Measure A Funds may onlyi be utilized on the portions of the Original Alignment that are still within the Hwy 111 state highway system, absent an amendment to Measure A. Amending Measure A to allow expenditure of the 15% Measure A funds for either or both the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment and/or the New Alignment would be, from a legal perspective, the approach with the least risk of legal challenge. R V PU MH SHANE1744257.3 -5- 258 CONCLUSION There appears to be more than one reasonable interpretation of the voter's intent as to the expenditure of the 15% Measure A Funds in the Coachella Valley. The Commission may consult with 1 CVAG in determining the most reasonable interpretation of the voter's intent as applies to the j expenditure of these funds. Our office recommends that the Commission make its findings as to its t interpretation of the voter's intent on the record, at a public meeting of the Commission. cc; John M. Wohlmuth, Executive Director, CVAG 1 RVPUB\HSHANE1744257.3 -6- 259 Memorandum TO: Anne Mayer, Executive Director FROM: Best Best & Krieger, General Counsel RE: ATTACHMENT 3 April 16, 2008 Amendment to the Transportation Improvement Plan to Include Segments of Highway 111 'Beyond the Original Alignment Included in 1988 Measure A Background The Riverside County Transportation Commission ("Commission") Transportation Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance, Ordinance No. 88-1 ("Measure A") was approved by 78.9 percent of the voters in Riverside County. The . Transportation Expenditure Plan, also referred to as the Transportation Improvement Plan ('TIP"), was attached as Exhibit B to Measure A and was incorporated therein by reference. The TIP identifies State Highway 111 ("Hwy 111") from Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard. as one of the projects in the Coachella Valley for which Measure A State highway funds are to be appropriated and expended. A map depicting the then -current Hwy 111 designation between Ramon Road to Indio Boulevard (the "Original Alignment") was part of the TIP. Since the i passage of Measure A, the designation of Hwy 111 has been changed. Portions of the Original Alignment have been relinquished by the State and are now maintained by local jurisdictions. Additionally, new segments of roadway located in the Coachella Valley and not identified in the TIP as part of Hwy 111 have been designated by the State as Hwy 111, and are thus now officially part of the State highway system ('New Alignment"). The Commission is currently considering initiation of an amendment to the TIP to authorize expenditure of Measure A funds on the relinquished portions of the Original Alignment and/or on the New Alignment. The Commission is also considering amending the TIP to include additional segments of Hwy 111 which were not included in the adopted TIP. These additional new segments proposed for inclusion in the TEP are generally described as follows: west from Interstate 10 to the new alignment of Hwy 111 at Vista Chino; east on a small segment commencing east of Indio Blvd to the Interstate 10 Interchange; and, southeast, a segment from Indio Boulevard to Avenue 66/Hightway 195. Questions Presented 1. Can the proposed amendment to the TIP include segments of Hwy 111 beyond the Original Alignment between Ramon Road and hidio Boulevard? 2. What is the definition of the phrase "findings of necessity" as used under California Public Utilities Code section 240302? 260 Brief Answers 1. If the Commission can make "findings of necessityfor the proposed inclusion of new segments of Hwy 111 beyond the Original Alignment shown in the TIP, then these new segments can be included in the proposed amendment. 2. The phrase "findings of necessity," when used in reference to a government entity's enactment of an ordinance, means that a need exists for the ordinance, or for its amendment, as demonstrated by the record of the rule -making authority. Analysis A. Process For Amending the TIP. Section 240302 of the Public Utilities Code provides that the TEP may only be amended by the following process: "(I) Initiation of amendment by the commission, reciting findings of necessity. I (2) Approval by the board of supervisors. (3) Approval by a majority of the cities constituting a majority of the incorporated population." (Pub. Util. Code, § 240302(d).) Additionally, Section XIV of Measure A incorporates the statutory requirements for amending the TIP. Section XIV requires: "Mlle Expenditure for Measure 'A' fiords may only be amended, if required, by the following process: (1) Initiation of amendments by the Commission reciting findings of necessity; (2) Approval by the Board of Supervisors; and (3) Approval by a majority of the cities i constituting a majority of the incorporated population." (Ordinance No. 88-1, §XIV.) B. Definition of the Phrase "Findings of Necessity" and Applicable Standard of Review. Neither Measure A nor the Public Utilities Code defines the phrase "findings of necessity." Although the phrase is used by the Legislature throughout Califomia statutes, it is 1 only defined once. Section 40727 of the Health and Safety Code defines the term "findings of necessity." Section 40727 provides that: "[A]s used in this section, 'necessity' means that a need exists for the regulation, or for its amendment or repeal, as demonstrated by the record of the rule -making authority." (Health and Safety Code, § 40727(b).) i There does not appear to be a California case that defines the term "findings of necessity." However, in Beals v. City of Los Angeles (1943) 23 Ca1.2d 381, 386, the court found that,in making findings of necessity. and convenience for the vacation of a_public street: "The act of the council in ordering the vacation of a street is legislative in character and is conclusive both as to the necessity or convenience of the improvement and as to the extent of the _2_ 261 i district to be benefited thereby" The court further held that the finality of such legislative determination is subject to exception only if the finding was the result of fraud or collusion between the city council and private land owners (id.). Thus, where the legislative body makes findings of necessity as part of a legislative or quasi -legislative action, the court will not second guess the Legislature's determination of such necessity. Such findings, if challenged, will be subject to the "abuse of discretion" standard under Code of Civil Procedure section 1085. (Wilson v. Hidden Valley Municipal Water Dist. (1968) 256 Ca1.App.2d 271, 276-278.) The findings required under Public Utility Code section 240302 involve a legislative or quasi -legislative action of the Commission. Thus, under the "abuse of discretion" standard, a court's review of the Commission's findings of necessity would be limited to deciding whether fraud or collusion existed, whether proper statutory procedure was followed, or whether the Commission's finding was arbitrary, capricious or completely lacking in evidentiary support. (Heist v. County of Colusa (1984) 163 Ca1.App.3d 841, 846.) In the absence of such a showing, a challenge will fail. Conclusion Consequently, the Commission can amend the TIP to include the additional segments of Hwy 111 if the Commission initiates an amendment with required findings of necessity. The findings of necessity should provide that a need exists for the amendment, including the inclusion in the TIP of the additional segments of Hwy 111 generally identified above. The Commission should supplement its findings in the administrative record as part of its rule -making activity. The amendment to the TIP must then be approved by the County Board of Supervisors and by a majority of the cities constituting a majority of the incorporated population. Based on a review of the above noted case law, the Commission's findings of necessity will not be subject to successful challenge unless such findings are based on fraud or collusion, are arbitrary, capricious, or entirely Iacking in evidentiary support, or if the proper statutory procedure is not followed. 262 " " C V G A T T A C H M E N T 4 8 2 8 6 6 A M , S M C O A C H E L L A V A L L E Y A S S O C i A T 1 0 N o f G O V E R N M E N T S B l y t h e " C a t h e d r a l C t y " " C o a c h e l l a " - D e s e r t H o t S p r i n g s " t n d i a n W e l l s " .

Waggle, Deputy Executive Director 264 • COACHELLA VALLEY ASSOCIATION of GOVERNMENTS DATE: January 28, 2008 TO: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FROM: Allyn S. Waggle, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Consider Determination of Designated Highway 111 Alignmentfor Utilization' of the 15% of (Measure A Dedicated to State Highway Projects STAFF RECOMMENDED MOTION: That the Executive Committee: 1. Determine that In the City of Palm. Springs, Highway 111 begins at the Intersection of Ramon Road and Gene Autry Trail, thence continues Soutar to South Palm Canyon Drive (Highway 111), thence continues East on the Highway 111 Alignment to its Intersection with Golf Center Parkway, thence north to Indio Boulevard in Indio, and; 2. Direct that CVAG Request the Riverside County Transportation Commission to Procese an Amendment to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) In order to add. the Segments of Highway 111 In Palm Springs from the Intersection of Ramon Road and Gene Autry Trail North to Vista Chino Drive, thence West to North Palm Canyon Drive, thence Northerly on the Highway 111 Alignment to interstate 10, AS WELL AS, the Segment of Highway 111 in Indio from the Crossing of Golf Center Parkway and Indio Boulevard Northerly to Interstate 10, and; 3. Consider that CVAG Request the Riverside County Transportation Commission to Procese an Amendment to the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) in order to add the Segments .of Highway 111. from ;the Intersection of Highway 111 and Indio Boulevard Southeasterly through the City of Coachella and Riverside County to the intersection of State Highway 195 (Avenue 66), and; 4. That the Proposed Alignments be Submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission for Confirmation and Authorization for Funding_ Tra nsportation 'Technical Advisory Su b-Committeq: At their meeting of October 26t, the TTAS determined the alignment of Highway 111 as shown on the 1988 ballot pamphlet should be the Designated Highway 111 Alignment qualified to receive 15% Measure A State Highway funding. Technical Advisory Committee: At their meeting of November 9th, the TAC tabled action on this item and directed staff to obtain a legal opinion regarding the qualification of projects on the re- aligned segments of I-Gghway 111 to receive the 15% Measure State Highway funding. They also requested an opinion regarding the qualification of projects on the relinquished segments of Highway 111 for these funds. CVAG staff sent a letter to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (ROTC) requesting input from .RCTC's General Counsel, which is: summarized with the following two questions: 265 COACHELLA, VALLEY ASSOCIATION of GOVERNMENTS First, for the purpose of qualifying 'Highway 111" projects as described in the 1988 Measure ballot language, can CVAG defend itself from a challenge, if raised, to funding projects from the 15% State Highway Account for "officially" designated Highway 111 segments, as now exist in Palm Springs and Indio, ratherthan the "Highway 111"alignment and limits described in the 1988 ballot pamphlet? Second, can the 1988 Measure A 15% State Highway Account funds legally be spent on segments of relinquished State Highway 111, now under local control, but still referred to as Highway. 111 by name? Transportation Committee: At their meeting of November 19h, the Transportation Committee recommended that any projects recommended for funding from the 15% Measure A State Highway funds located on Highway 111 between Ramon Road and Indio Boulevard; as shown on the 1988 Measure A ballot pamphlet, should be first In priority to receive these funds. They further recommended that projects located on the re -aligned segments of Highway 111 should qualify to receive 15% Measure A State Highway funds, but should be second in priority to receive these funds. The Transportation Committee made no distinction regarding the relinquishment of Highway 111. Technical Advisory Committee: At their meeting of January11 "', this item was delivered to the TAC as an Information Only Item. However, the TAC members made this an Action item and. approved the motion that the two cities on Highway 111 impacted by the issue of potentially conflicting, alignments of Highway 111 (Palm Springs for the Vista Chino Drive and Gene Autry Trail alignment verses the South Palm Canyon from Ramon Road to Gene Autry Trail alignment, and. Indio for the Gott Center Parkway from Highway 111 to Interstate 10 alignment versus the Highway 111 from Golf Center Parkway to Indio Boulevard alignment), would be allowed to pick which one of the alignments they wanted to propose for the 15% Measure A State Highway funds dedicated to State Highway improvements Tier 3 Call for Projects. The vote for this motion was 7 Aye, 3 No. The TAC members offered no direction relative to their initial request for a legal opinion from RCTC as described above. Transaortation Committee: At their meeting of January 10. the Transportation Committee members tabled any decision on this item and continued it to the next meeting. BACKGROUND: In the way of background, the ballot document accompanying the 1988 approval of Measure A provided that 15% of the Measure A funds returned to the Coachella Valley would be limited to the improvement of State Highway facilities. That document particularly described Highway 111 as being "Ramon to Indio Boulevard.' In addition, an area map was attached to the ballot pamphlet showing the alignment of Highway 111 qualified for the 15% Measure A State Highway funds. The issue has now been raised as to whether other recognized alignments of "State Highuvay" and/ or "Highway 111" should qualify to receive funds from the 15% Measure A State Highway account. The "State Highway' designation of Highway 111 has been removed from most portions of what was considered Highway 111 in 1988. Many of those original segments of Highway 111 are now . maintained by the adjacent jurisdiction. Further, in Palm Springs, the portion of Vista Chino Drive between Indian Canyon Drive to Gene Autry Trail, as well as the segment of Gene Autry Trail from Vista Chino [hive to South Palm Canyon Drive, have now been designated as State Highway 111 by the State of California. The same designation had been made for the segment of Golf Center ___Parkway.from .Indio Boulevard to Interstate 10 in the city of Indio._ While_ thesesegments may bear the official State Highway 111 designation, they are not commonly referred to as Highway 111 by long-time Coachella Valley drivers. 266 " C O A C H E L L A V A L L E Y A S S O C I A T I O N o f G O V E R N M E N T S A f t e r t h e N o v e m b e r p r e s e n t a t i o n , t h e T A C w a s d i s i n c l i n e d t o m a k e a d e t e r m i n a t i o n r e g a r d i n g t h e d e s i g n a t i o n o f H i g h w a y 1 1 1 w i t h o u t a d d i t i o n a l i n f o r m a t i o n a n d a l e g a l o p i n i o n r e g a r d i n g t h e i r o p t i o n s .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission is responsible for allocating and expending federal funds including Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds. These federal funds are required to be obligated or encumbered on an annual basis. If 100% of the authorized funding is not encumbered in a given year, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) can rescind the funds and essentially give it to another state. In California, jCaltrans administers and monitors the federal funds. Caltrans identifies each region's annual federal fund target, which is referred to as Obligational Authority (OA). A region's OA target must be obligated or encumbered each year. Since project delivery schedules vary from year to year, Caltrans' OA management policy allows regions to loan and borrow OA. This policy helps regions that may not meet their OA target, but need OA above its target in a future year. For example, if a region has an OA target of $30 million and based on project schedules will deliver only $20 million, it can loan $10 million to a region than needs to encumber funds above its OA target. In turn, the region borrowing the OA will pay it back in a year agreed upon by the two regions. This year, the (',Commission will have a balance of OA. The SACOG has requested to borrow $6.2 million of OA and pay the Commission back in FY 2010/11. This arrangement helps protect the Commission's $6.2 million that the Commission will not be obligating, and ensures that the Commission will be able to program the funds in a year that the Commission will need OA above the Commission's target level. In 2006, the Commission entered into an OA loan agreement with the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG). The Commission will receive Agenda Item 8F 268 repayment of OA in fiscal year 2009/10, which will allow the Commission to program additional federal funds needed for the 60/215 East Junction project. As stated above, there is no fiscal impact in loaning the OA to SACOG. The Commission is not actually loaning dollars.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In March 2008, Commission staff notified the cities and the county that an estimated $1,282,390 would be available for programming in FY 2008/09 through the SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities program. This program is funded by an allocation of 2% of the total Local Transportation Fund apportioned to Riverside County by the state and funds carried over from prior years. Carryover funds available this year totaled $84,705 from previously approved projects, which either did not expend their full allocations due to lower than estimated actual costs or were subsequently abandoned by the applicants for various reasons. The SB 821 Ilproposals were due April 25, 2008. The Commission received 42 proposals: 36 sidewalk projects, three bike lane projects, two ADA related retrofit projects, and one multi -use trail bridge project from 17 agencies requesting a total of $4,163,518 in funding (Attachment 1). An evaluation committee comprised of four members from the Commission's Citizens Advisory Committee and three members from the Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the proposals on May 20, 2008. All of the applicants were invited to the meeting and requested to present their proposals to the committee and answer questions from the members. The proposals were evaluated and ranked based upon the. Commission adopted scoring criteria (Attachment 2). Seventeen projects are recommended for funding as indicated on Attachment 3.

USE 25 The extent of potential use of a bicycle or pedestrian facility is the most important factor. Emphasis of this factor helps ensure the greatest benefits will be derived from the expenditure of SB 821 funds. Relative usage is to be derived from analysis of trip generators and attractors adjacent to the project. 2. SAFETY Points are awarded on the basis of a project's potential to correct current safety problems. 3. IMPORTANCE AS A TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE Points are awarded on the basis of a project's potential to attract users who would otherwise use an automobile. 4. MISSING LINK, EXTENSION, OR CONNECTIVITY Points are awarded to projects that link, are extensions of, or potentially connect to existing facilities. 5. MATCHING FUNDS This factor is used to help ensure that there is local funding participation in the project - not just an application for "free" money. One point would be awarded for each 5% of total project cost that lis financed by the local agency. 6. POPULATION EQUITY The purpose of this factor is to help ensure that one agency does not receive all the funds. The applicant receives the maximum 10 points if the amount of funds requested does not exceed what the applicant;iwould receive if the funds were allocated by population. Year to year totals are recorded so that an applicant could build up a "credit". (Calculated by RCTC) 7. PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY ENHANCEMENT The purpose of this factor is to enhance the physical accessibility of existing pedestrian projects. Applicant agencies may receive up to 10 "bonus" points for their project proposals which improve the physical access to existing facilities. 277 20 20 15 10 10 10 BONUS " " " R a n A e e n c V 1 B e a u m o n t 2 C o a c h e l l a 3 P e r r i s 4 H e m e t 5 C o a c h e l l a 6 B a n n i n g 6 R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y 8 S a n J a c i n t o 9 L a k e E l s i n o r e 1 0 P a l m S p r i n g s 1 1 R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y 1 2 P a l m S p r i n g s 1 3 R i v e r s i d e 1 4 R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y 1 5 D e s e r t H o t S p r i n g s 1 6 B a n n i n g 1 7 C a t h e d r a l C i t y 1 8 R i v e r s i d e 1 9 L a k e E l s i n o r e 2 0 L a k e E l s i n o r e 2 1 R i v e r s i d e 2 2 C o a c h e l l a 2 3 C o r o n a 2 4 R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y 2 5 R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y 2 6 C a t h e d r a l C i t y 2 7 L a k e E l s i n o r e R I V E R S I D E C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N C O M M I S S I O N S B 8 2 1 B I C Y C L E A N D P E D E S T R I A N F A C I L I T I E S P R O G R A M F Y 2 0 0 8 / 0 9 R E C O M M E N D E D F U N D I N G P r o t e c t D e s c r i p t i o n C i t y w i d e S i d e w a l k & A c c e s s R a m p s P a l m V i e w S c h o o l S / W P r o j e c t s I n d i a n A v e .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In FY 2007, the Commission awarded $1,954,798 to fund 33 projects as part of its SB 821 Biciycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program. The agencies have until June 30, 2008 to complete the projects. The city of San Jacinto was allocated $75,000 for construction of the De Anza Drive sidewalk and handicap ramps project. The project is part of a larger capital improvement project, which includes street widening and major storm drain improvements. The storm drain part of the project is the responsibility of a developer, which is now on hold indefinitely. Therefore, the city is requesting a 12-month extension to June 30, 2009 to complete the project. The scope of the SB 821 project is the same; however, the street widening and storm drain elements have been revised to include the work without developer involvement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan At its January 12, 2005 meeting, the Commission approved participation in the development of the MCGMAP and committed $125,000 in funding to support the work effort. MCGMAP is the master plan for goods movement in the region and is intended to be used as a guide in the preparation of state, regional, and local transportation plans. MCGMAP provides an overall framework for improving freight mobility and reducing the environmental and community impacts of that freight. Although MCGMAP does not make any specific financial commitments on the part of the Commission or other transportation agencies, it does provide a framework that can be used for guiding more specific actions and commitments. As an Agenda Item 8J 282 example, the Commission was part of the regional effort to secure its fair share of the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF), which resulted in securing $162.7 million in Proposition 1 B funds for construction of 12 grade separations and the 1-215/Van Buren interchange project. MCGMAP represents an important partnership between county, regional, and state transportation agencies, which addresses the goods movement challenges faced by the Southern California Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Ventura. The MCGMAP work effort modeled goods movement growth trends, identified possible public -private partnerships, highlighted near to long-term strategies, and developed a list of potential projects to. be funded. In November 2007, consultant staff presented a status report on MCGMAP, and as a result, staff was directed to review the proposed project list for Riverside County, and where applicable, increase the number of goods movement related projects. The following table contains the revised project list: Project Description Project Cost (in millions) 11 /14l07 Project List 6/11 /08 Revised Project List Grade Separations - Riverside County $1,048 ✓ ✓ SR-86 NAFTA. Corridor Interchange Construction $150 ✓ ✓ March ARB Global Cargo Port I-215Nan Buren Interchange Project $97.6 ✓ ✓ 1-10/SR-60 New Interchange Construction $100 ✓ ✓ I-10/SR-60Truck Climbing Lane $55.3 ✓ ✓ SR-60 — Construct Truck Climbing Lane through Badlands to 1-10 $1 14 ✓ 1-215 Widening to San Bernardino County Line $1,400 ✓ SR-91 Widening to SR-241 to Pierce Street $1,000 ✓ 1-10/Riverside County Line to SR-60 $200 ✓ PROJECT TOTALS $4,164.9 As part of the body of MCGMAP, each county has a chapter profilingthe current goods movement challenges it faces as well as a list of specific actions and projects to help alleviate that condition. The entire MCGMAP document can be accessed at http://www.metro.net/projects programs/mcgmap. Staff is requesting that the Commission approve the. MCGMAP. Upon approval, staff will continue to evaluate projects and strategies that have been identified in the MCGMAP and seek new funding sources related to goods movement.

Representatives from local city planning departments, public works departments and staff from various agencies attended the consultation meetings to provide feedback on local issues and impacts related to goods movement activities. A copy of the county consultation notes for Riverside County is attached to this staff report. This information was also provided to the Commission's Technical Advisory Committee for review and feedback. Recommended Prototype Communities Based on the county consultations, the MCGMAP study effort as well as the approved TCIF projects, the MIG team recommends the following prototype communities for detailed study. Because the TCIF projects require the development of mitigation strategies, the EJ study offers a unique opportunity to support the approved projects. The guidebook that is developed as a result of this process will provide communities with practical ideas for mitigating impacts, as well as providing the broader region with a guidebook that features a set of strategies and solutions to consider in addressing similar impacts from specific goods movement projects: • Grade separations, Hunter Park and Riverside Junction Areas City of Riverside; and • NAFTA State Route 86 Corridor and Grade Separations — Coachella Valley Attached is a copy of MIG's Recommended Prototype Communities for Detailed Analysis. The document provides details on impact -sensitive communities based on low income and minority populations that are likely to suffer significant adverse impacts from regional goods movement investment decisions.

Master pr. lfor 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 be conducted 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 a broad 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 (AQMD) 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 (CRAP), 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.

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.

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. j 25,000 w F 0 ci20,000 c 15,000 c 0 m 5,000 3 C C 0 5th Largest- •: 'Globally .@ rn 16 c m L N C L CO Z } Z R Y O m `s U CO 3 E 0 t0 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 the 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.

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 regionl� (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. it 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 • health impacts summarized by California Air Resource Board (CARE) 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. Annual (2005) Health Effects of PM and Ozone Pollution from Freight Transport in California Health Outcome ° : per Year • aMillions)',; Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan 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 25 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 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. Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary d -o --- 4-4 Q 4-4 m m 0 Ln -.a o o E u aE Y ^, O > U I Y V N W 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 -dock and 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. - Tronsload - 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/De►ivery - 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. • 10 Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary Understanding Freight Flows Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan , Executive Summary I 11 12 Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary The MCGMAP is structured around four 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.

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 Action 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 (GARB) 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. • 16 Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary Relieve Conger i.on and I• mprove Mobility Region -wide congestion reliefiand 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 the 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 es 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. I . Improved Highways/Roadways The Plan recommends three tiers of highway actions. The Tier one 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 used of clean engine trucks and/or clean Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs), if such vehicles could be authorized to operate on dedicated facilities in California safely with minimal impacts on surrounding communities. Further con- •sideration of LCys will requireia.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 flaw 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 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 helps maintain 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. 18 Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary ACTION SET 4 ®eve(op Equitable Public/- Private Funding Strategy • 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- mental mitigation projects. The types of user fees that should be considered include congestion pricing, port -assessed cargo or container fees, industry -supported programs similar to PIERPASS, and VMT-based taxes or gas taxes for trucks. The Action Plan addresses the need to 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.

Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary 27 This section summarizes the stakeholder outreach efforts of the MCGMAP project, which occurred throughout the development of the Action Plan. The purpose of these outreach activities was to gather comments and input on the Draft Action Plan. Written and oral com- ments/questions about the Draft Action Plan along with topical responses are included in Appendix C of the Final Action Plan. Stakeholder participation was an essential component throughout the development of the MCGMAP. In doing so, the project partners attempted to reach as broad a cross-section of stakeholders as possible through the following outreach mediums: • Project Website; • Seven (7) Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) Meetings; -Two (2) Public Surveys; • Presentations to boards, committees and organizations; and • Twelve (12) Public workshops. Two survey instruments were utilized and a project website (http://www.metro. net/mcgmap) was established to inform and engage stakeholders. Meetings. and workshops were convened to gather input and share findings. The Stakeholder Ad- visory Group meetings were an important mechanism through which key stakehold- ers across region were informed and had an opportunity to vocalize concerns to the MCGMAP planners. Representatives from community advocacy and health organizations, air quality regulatory agencies, the ports, the trucking and railroad industries and other transportation agencies at all levels of government were invited to participate in the Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) meetings. Additionally, smaller one-on-one meetings were held with many of these groups to confirm data and obtain their individual perspectives on issues related to goods movement. Stakeholder Advisory Group meetings and county workshops provided a forum for stakeholders to comment on the con- tent of the action plan and to express concerns about the impact on local communities, air quality, the environment and the transportation system. In general, the stakeholders support a coordinated effort among the agencies and stakeholders to solve goods movement challenges facing the region. Stakeholders expressed the following specific concerns: • Having more aggressive environmental mitigation strategies to reduce current levels of goods movement impacts before any new infrastructure projects are built; • Dedicating new private/public funding sources to reduce health and environmental impacts of goods movement in the region; • Providing for more aggressive use of alternative fuels and alternative technologies to address goods movement impacts; • Questioning whether we need to meet unlimited goods movement demand - all costs and benefits should be studied first; and • Considering placement of limits on trade growth and diverting it to other ports and instead investing in clean industries as a more cost-effective approach. Some stakeholders indicated that re- gional environmental and commu- nity impacts must be addressed and mitigated to a level beyond existing air quality attainment goals. However, the authority to increase air quality attain- ment goals rests with regulatory agen- cies such as the SCAQMD and CARB, not the MCGMAP partner agencies. For more information, please see Chap- ter 2 - Stakeholder Outreach in the Ac- tion Plan. • 22 Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan Executive Summary 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 volume growth 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 1 and 4. 2030 Employment impact (number of jobs) San Pedro Bay port growth of 42.5 million TEUs by 2030; SCAG 2004 Regionial Transportation Plan baseline implementation E Sa�nPEdro Ba'gflOrtWinwl of Z�mtfit6h E p Qk t, 2fk04�ryf�tozaa�Tr�nsp€tron Pbfan�setmmpler€�n 7��'' San Pedro Bay port growth of 33 million TEUs by 2030; SCAG 2004 Regional Transportation Plan baseline implementation Change relative to Scenario 7 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 comp ete 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. In addition, 12 bundles of potential freight improvements including nine dedicated truck lane bundles (bundles 2 through 9) and one dedicated freight guideway were modeled using the SCAG Travel Demand Forecasting model. The model was used to quantify truck volumes using the region's highway network and estimate the number of daily hours of delay reduced for both autos and trucks. Furthermore, for each bundle the potential cost (which was kept at a constant per mile basis), the number of warehouse acres in proximity to each corridor, the number of schools within 1/3 mile of each bundle, and the number of residential acres within 1/2 mile of each bundle was calculated. 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.

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: 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 andthe 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 CARE, air districts, the logistics industry, and local governments, initiate an activity to generate public and/or pri- vate funds to accelerate implementation of air quality improvement strategies being undertaken by these and other entities. Examples may include: Container fees that provide a revenue stream to fund emissions reduction projects, impact fees paid by entities contrib- uting.to the goods-relateid 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. • Continue and Complete 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 ass st 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 Acton 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 (1-710 From Port of Long Beach to SR-60; East-West Corridor between 1-710 and 1-15; and 1-15 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 state appropriations, federal funds, and private sector contributions consistent with the impacts of the benefits 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.

The MCGMAP contains strategies to support the efficient movement of goods without disproportionately impacting local communities, neither the environment nor the transportation network. The MCGMAP is also a regional framework for goods movement initiatives. This report examines the key issues that impact Riverside County from a goods movement standpoint. It examines the plans and proposals that are being pursued to resolve the stated issues, and new specific actions and strategies that should become a focus for the county. It is important to note that this report builds on a large body of work that has been researched and developed over the past few years, all of which collectively address a comprehensive range of goods movement issues. The Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan has recommended four primary action sets for goods movement within the region. The action sets are: • Action Set 1: Accelerate Regional Environmental Mitigation • Action Set 2: Relieve Congestion and Increase Mobility • Action Set 3: Improve Operational Efficiency • Action Set 4: Develop Equitable Public/ Private Funding Strategy Current and future projects, relationships, and activities of Riverside County address these four primary action sets. The document concludes with an explanation of how the county's activities support these four action sets. Other efforts will likely address new and existing issues as they arise. This report is intended to focus on specific actions to address the most significant goods movement issues for the county that have been 'presented to date. This report is not intended to be a full and complete glossary of every issue. A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 1 of 30 320 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN Background Improving mobility has been a challenge to Riverside County due to rapid population growth and the imbalance of jobs and housing. This has increased commuter traffic between the Inland Empire, Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The growth in goods movement has exacerbated traffic congestion because trucks compete with passenger vehicles for space on roadways. The increase inwarehousingand the growth in goods flow for truck and rail will further strain current transportation infrastructure in Riverside County. Riverside County has participated in a number of goods movement -related studies in the past: These include the following: • San Bernardino and Riverside County Truck and Recreational Vehicle Count and Analysis Study, March 2004 • SR-91 Alternatives Analysis, January 2003 • SR-60 Truck Lane feasibility Study, February 2001 • Riverside County Bottom Line Goods Movement Report: Critical Goods Movement Issues for Riverside County, September 2006 • Grade Separation Funding Strategy: A Blueprint for Advancing Projects, September 2006 Figure 1 shows a map of Riverside County with major infrastructure features. Riverside is in the east -central portion of the MCGMAP region. It is bounded on the north by San Bemardino County, on the west by Orange County, and on the south by Imperial and San Diego Counties. Its eastern boundary is Arizona which represents a portion of the eastem MCGMAP region boundary. A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 2 of 30 321 4 ean6l j 9ooz demen :seomos Lmi.usAmilf V1 riaa.

The major rail operators in the county are the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway and the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad. Limited access highways are 1-10, 1-15, 1-215, SR-60 and SR-91. These highways and infrastructure are in the western part of the county. UP's Yuma Subdivision mainline and SR-86are in the eastern part of the county. SR-86 is federally designated as a NAFTA corridor. Role i Ports/Airports] The landlocked county has no intemational border and two major airports. March Global Port is a commercial air cargo and distribution development site located on the south end of the March Air Reserve Base, in westem Riverside County. The March Global Port is an air cargo operation recently partnered with DHL in a 16-year operating agreement to run a domestic cargo distribution system. March Global Port consists of a 13,300 foot runway and more than 350 acres of runway - accessible property available for development, which is the longest civilian runway in California. DHL started with six flights a day and is currently flying eight planes per day. The company's plan is to have 12 planes per day including several international flights. Figure 2 March Global Port Source: March Global Port LLC., 2006 The other major airport in the county is Palm Springs International Airport in Palm Springs, CA, which is home to 14 airlines with 53 daily departures. In 2006, the airport experienced a 7.8 percent increase in passengers. A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 4 of 30 323 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN Rail The county has three rail mainlines owned by BNSF and UP as shown in Figure,3. These include the BNSF Transcon, the UP Los Angeles Subdivision (UP LA Sub), and the UP El Paso Line. The BNSF Transcon is the artery linking the Los Angeles basin to all midwestem, southwestern and eastem markets on the BNSF rail system. UP LA Sub connects to the Sunset Corridor at Colton in the Los Angeles basin. UP El Paso Line is part of the UP Sunset Corridor which extends to El Paso. This route is designated as the primary intermodal line between the Los Angeles basin and eastern markets. The UP lA Sub segment of the mainline connects with the UP El Paso Line via the BNSF Transcon Line between west Riverside and Colton. The UP El Paso Line exits south through Imperial, County towards Yuma, Arizona, and the eastern side of the Salton Sea. The BNSF Transcon has a route exiting to the north into San Bernardino County. In 2003, 68 million tons of rail freight passed through Riverside County with less than five percent originating or ending locally'. Currently 85 freight trains per day pass through Riverside County2.

E.tu uen,._ MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN Metrolink commuter trains provide daily transportation to more than 9,000 passengers from Riverside to Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The Metrolink 91 Line service, from Riverside to Los Angeles via Fullerton, operates on the BNSF Transcon. The Metrolink Riverside Line service, from Riverside to Los Angeles via Pomona, operates on the UP Los Angeles Subdivision. Currently, UP operates a rail yard and automobile distribution center in Mira Loma. Activities at the yard include receiving inbound rail cars, switching cars, loading ,and unloading automobiles, departing outbound rail cars, and storing- automobiles. -Facilities within the yard include classification tracks, a gate complex for inbound and outbound truck traffic, loading and unloading tracks, and various facilities supporting railroad and contractor operations. Domestically manufactured automobiles purchased in the SCAG region are primarily distributed from UP's Mira Loma facility. This facility serves GM, Ford, Chrysler and some foreign manufacturers with production plants in the U.S., such as Isuzu and Toyota. Annual volume at Mira Loma is about 900,000 units and is transported on nearly 70,000 railcars3. Almost all freight rail traffic in the county is caused by passing trains. In 2003, three million tons of rail freight moved to or from destinations in the county, and 68 million tons of rail freight passed through the county4. The increase in rail freight traffic will have significant implications relating to safety, environmental issues, community impact, financial concems, and traffic congestion. The county has 61 highway -rail crossings that are not grade -separated. These crossings cause delay for drivers and result in pollution from idling automobiles and trucks. Trucks Figure 4 depicts the regional distribution of truck traffic by county, measured in truck miles of travel on the state highway system. Riverside County accounts for 18 percent of the total regional truck miles of travel ranking third after Los Angeles and San Bemardino Counties. 3 Per Honda North America discussions, 2005. 4 Critical Goods Movement Issues for Riverside County, RCTC, September 2006 A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 7 of 30 326 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN Figure 4 2003 Percentage of Truck VMT in the MCGMAP Study Area by County ■ San Diego 11% ® Ventura 3% ■ Orange 9% p San.

This area is attractive to warehousing and distribution centers because it has land available for large (one million plus SF) facilities. Such areas are increasingly rare in counties to the west of the Inland Empire. Development of new warehousing and distribution centers is spreading from the west end of the county. The types and sizes of warehouses include large private and contract warehouses, as well as distribution centers. These facilities tend to range from 500,000 SF to 1.7 million SF. As land becomes scarcer in Los Angeles, large new facilities are being constructed farther east in cities such as Moreno Valley, Fontana, Perris, and along 1-15 toward Las Vegas.

In general, these deal with air quality, grade crossings, congestion, passenger capacity, distribution locations, and funding. A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 12 of 30 331 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN Air Quality Negative impacts to air quality in Riverside County are generated from emission sources to the west, as well as sources intemal to the county. Prevailing winds carry the airborne pollution into the county. A primary concern is the community's well-being and the environmental effects of poor air quality. Goods movement emissions are a significant source of pollution in the study area. The goods movement industry is heavily dependent upon diesel fuel for mobility and operations. As discussed in Tech Memo 5b, diesel fuel results in the emissions of diesel particulate matter (DPM), which has been identified as a toxic air contaminant (TAC) by the state's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Diesel fuel is also a significant contributor of nitrogen oxides (NOx), the primary pollutant for ozone formation. Both DPM and NOx are linked to various health issues for susceptible populations like the young and the elderly; as well as cancer, asthma, preterm births and low birth weight babies. Due to the current dependency of the goods movement industry on diesel fuel, this action plan focuses on emission reduction. Figure 7 displays the cancer risk from airborne toxics with diesel emissions. The largest impact is predominantly in the western regions of the county. Figure 7 Cancer Risk from Airbome Toxics with Diesel Emissions Source: SCAQMD, Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study II, March 2000 A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 13 of 30 332 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN The goods movement mobile sources targeted for emission reduction include Ocean Going Vessels (OGVs, or ships), On -Road Heavy -Duty Vehicles (HDVs, or trucks), Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE), Harbor Craft (HC), and Railroad Locomotives (RL). Grade' Crossings Train volumes are expected to increase due to projected volume increases at the ports of Los Angeles and tong Beach. BNSF estimates that the number of trains operating between west Riverside and Colton (the BNSF Transcon segment shared with the UP) will increase 37`percent by 2010. Currently, 85 freight trains pass through the county every day. By the year 2020, this number is expected to increase to 1695. flays to daily through traffic caused by freight trains are a major concern to the county. The 61 at -grade Alameda Corridor -East (ACE) crossings cause conflicts between rail and highway traffic and are located on mainlines of the UP and the BNSF Transcon railroads. The average rail crossing gate can be down for as long as two hours a day. In total, at -grade crossings delay Riverside County motorists 603 hours daily. This extra idling time is estimated to generate 45 tons of additional pollutants annually6. There are plans for grade separations in the Alameda Corridor -East Trade Corridor.

The Riverside Metrolink service presently operates to Los Angeles on the LA Sub Line. In addition, UP would shift many of the freight trains now operating to Riverside on the LA Sub Line to the Alhambra tine at Pomona. These changes would create a freight -only route, and a mixed freight/passenger route, greatly increasing operational efficiency for UP. None of these changes are budgeted and the reroute of Metrolink trains will ,require a new agreement with the commuter train agency.? These operational changes would improve operational efficiency. Passenger service improvements would serve to maintain regional economic vitality by providing better access to Los Angeles employment centers. Distribution Locations Currently, UP operates a rail yard and automobile distribution center in Mira Loma. Activities at the yard include receiving inbound rail cars, switching cars, loading and unloading automobiles, departing outbound rail cars, and storing ;automobiles. Facilities within the yard include classification tracks, a gate complex for inbound and outbound truck traffic, loading and unloading tracks, and various buildings and facilities supporting railroad and contractor operations. Community groups and residents have expressed concern over the diesel emissions created by the yard and its proximity to the Jurupa Valley High School. The yard does represent a major intermodal facility. Total passenger and freight train movements for the UP Los Angeles Sub Line from Mira Loma to West Riverside are presented in Table 9.

Any improvements to land use and pollution concerns would address the Action Set "Accelerate Regional Environmental Mitigation." Increasing cargo capacity at March GlobalPort should assist the Action Set "Improve Operational Efficiency." March GlobalPort can handle more than 1.2 million tons of cargo per year, which is about 14 percent of the regional volume and 20 percent of the intemational volume predicted for 20168. Funding The county has developed various funding strategies for advancing projects. The need for grade separation funding is particularly acute. The existing 61 railroad crossings were ranked into five priority tiers, out of which 28 crossings were ranked in the top two tiers as the highest priority for funding. The cost of constructing grade separations at these 28 locations is currently estimated at $815.8 million, with $199 million currently committed from various funding sources. This results in $616.8 million of funding deficit for all 28 projects. A plan to fund 18 of the 28 crossings for a total project cost of $560.8 million is underway. Among the 18 high -priority projects, eight are located on UP mainline tracks and 10 are on BNSF mainline tracks (five of which UP operates). The table below lists the 18 high -priority projects.

The CREATE Program is a partnership between the state of Illinois, city of Chicago, Metra (a Commuter Rail System in Chicago) and the nation's freight railroads. CREATE is a multi -modal program (freight rail, passenger rail and highway) to provide critical improvements to increase efficiency of rail infrastructure and quality of life for Chicago -area residents. A similar coordination of govemmental and private agencies within Riverside County could be employed in a holistic approach to address critical rail projects. To address the CREATE Program, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Illinois Division Office, in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Chicago Department of Transportation, developed the Systematic, Project Expediting, and Environmental Decision -making (SPEED) Strategy. The SPEED Strategy supports systematic decision -making, provides an expeditious method of moving low risk component projects forward, and assesses potential environmental impacts in a proportional, graduated way. Market -based mechanisms are currently being considered by different agencies to fund infrastructure and environmental improvement at ports. One such mechanism is a container fee A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 27 of 3 346 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN applied to each shipping container received at the port. This would generate funds to help pay for road and rail improvements and clean -air programs tied to port trade. One important potential source of funding is State General Obligation bonds from Proposition 1B, which was approved by California voters in November of 2006. The Trade Corridor. Infrastructure Fund (TGIF) within Proposition 1B is intended to fund "Trade Corridors of National Significance" and other corridors with high volumes of freight movement. Prop 1B requires the County Transportation Commission (CTC) to use plans adopted by regional transportation planning agencies, including MCGMAP. Funding issues and county plans address the MCGMAP Action Set "Negotiate Fair Share Public/Private Financing County Actions County actions related to the MCGMAP are provided in Table 8. A major focus in Riverside County is to "Relieve Congestion and Increase Mobility." Conclusions Riverside County plays a major role in moving goods through the MCGMAP region. Goods movement related impacts are currently disproportionately higher than benefits seen by the county at this time. As a result, the region has identified several major impact mitigation strategies as regional priority projects. Freight rail through traffic is an especially high priority problem in the region. Delays at grade crossings are significant, and competition between freight trains and commuter trains for limited rail capacity has a significant effect on county residents. Air pollution impacts from growing freight rail also need to be addressed. Riverside County has relatively high truck volumes on major east -west facilities. The county has a higher fraction of heavy -truck traffic than most of the other MCGMAP counties. If current trends continue, growth in warehouse and distribution land uses (and associated economic benefits) are likely to favor the 1-15 corridor in San Bemardino County as compared to Moreno Valley. Thus, Riverside County may benefit less from logistics activity in the region than its share of through traffic would suggest possible. Based on the above observations, several high priority regional projects are targeted for Riverside County. The projects and actions currently underway or being planned in Riverside County fall within the four actions of the MCGMAP. There is a relationship between county projects developed independent of a regional plan and the recommended primary actions of the MCGMAP. To reiterate, the four action sets in the MCGMAP include the following: • Action Set 1: Accelerate Regional Environmental Mitigation + Action Set 2: Relieve Congestion and Increase Mobility A31418 Wilbur Smith Associates Page 28 of 30 347 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN • Action, Set 3:improve Operational Efficiency • Action! Set 4: DevelopEquitable Public/ Private Funding Strategy A brief description of each action set and how the county -specific actions serve their greater purpose is provided below. Action Set 1:, Accelerate Regional Environmental Mitigation seeks to mitigate environmental impacts at three levels: a broad regional approach, regional conformity, and project specific mitigation. The regional approach is for broad strategic policies and efforts focusing on further reducing region -wide impacts. Regional conformity holds emissions to caps set through aggressive actions and implementing high-level technology and best practices. The project specific mitigation requires project sponsors to consider and disclose environmental impacts when planning projects and to address how potential impacts will be resolved. This part of the project development process is specified in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Freeway lane and capacity improvements as well as operational and safety improvements will improve mobility and therefore reduce emissions. The proposed grade separation projects will also greatly reduces pollution from idling cars. These projects will assist Riverside County in continuing to meet conformity goals. Projects may have local impacts that are not addressed within this regional goods movement framework. Action Set 2: (Relieve Congestion and Increase Mobility focuses on improving all aspects of the transportation system to improve region -wide mobility and safety. This action set seeks to achieve the following: j • Increase intermodal lift capacity • Increase mainline rail capacity • Grade separate railroad crossings • Improve highways through comprehensive and innovative approaches • Continue with general purpose highway improvements 1 safety and operational improvements The freeway projects, the mainline rail improvements, and the intermodal facilities will provide congestion relief and increase mobility. All modes of freight transport benefit from these projects. The construction of railroad grade separations will help reduce traffic delay at crossings. Action Set 3: Improve Operational Efficiency addresses the following action categories: • Improve marine terminal productivity, truck turn times, and intermodal operations • Improve highway operations through the use of new technology These improvements would make existing infrastructure more efficient. Projects like improving freeway capacity and grade separations lead to improved operational efficiency. A31418 Wilbur smith Associates Page 29 of 30 348 MULTI -COUNTY GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PLAN Action Set 4: Develop Equitable Public/Private Funding Strategy recognizes that implementation of the actions, projects, and programs with mitigations will require a coordinated effort by private and public sectors. The action set seeks to achieve the following • Maximize the Study Area's Fair Share of State and Federal Funds • Identify Opportunities for Project -Specific User Fees • Establish Institutional Structure for Managing User Fees and Revenues • Initiate Supportive Legislation Riverside County is addressing these issues. Developing funding strategies for grade separations is a major step in addressing the distribution of funds. To adequately address fair share, it is important to increase the knowledge of agencies regarding the issues as this study has done.

The County of Riverside had no idea of the contents in that warehouse. Since most warehouses are built on speculation without a tenant identified, no one knows what is in the hundreds of warehouses in the community. • Mira Loma Specific Air Study shows the increased cancer risk due to diesel emissions • Increased emissions of diesel PM due to warehouse operations in Mira Loma cause increased cancer risks. • The magnitude of the risk increase depends on .idling time, and specific truck routes. • Mira Loma has high cancer risks to start with (1265 maximum, 905 average); approximately 80% due to diesel emissions. • The average 12-grid increased risk ranged from 11 to 29. • Diesel emissions from truck routes in and from warehouses/distribution centers can have a greater impact on residential and high school exposure. • The maximum per -grid risk increase was 68 (increased cancer cases). • The Jurupa Valley High School area experiences the largest risk increases, up to 90. Impacted Communities - Mira Loma • University of Southern California Children's Health Study found children in the Mira Loma area to have the slowest lung growth and weakest lung capacity • Glen Avon • Adjacent community of Glen Avon has organized the Glen Avon Revitalization Committee (GARC). And they are working with CCAEJ; jointly they purchased 13 acres to build a community park and environmental education center • Pediey and Jurupa Environmental Justice Analysis and Community Outreach Study page 2 351 Riverside County Consultation • Adjacent community residents are 11% to 26% more likely to contract cancer from diesel emissions March Airport — Joint Powers Authority Meriden Warehousing development planned for airport expansion • +/- 2,400 Acres master plan business park • Warehouse and distribution centers for Kia Motors, Tesco, SafeCo, Walgreens • Large DHL distribution center • Congestion bad, and needs road widening • Noise pollution, times of the flights disturb the residents • 2003 Agreement reached with community to limit warehousing • For nearly a decade, "planners had been working on converting part of March into a 1,300-acre business park • Under the accord, , the JPA will limit warehouse space to 187 acres; keep the facilities away from homes and schools; create a 48- to 60-acre regional park with soccer, softball and football fields; set aside space for a police station and fire substation; restrict truck idling and traffic; and include an alternate fuel facility. Impacted Communities • Recommends contacting City Managers of Moreno Valley (Bob Gutierrez) and Perris (Richard Bellmutez) for info on more specific EJ communities in their area Edgemont and Mead Valley General Notes from Consultation and Future Issues County needs ability to identify established truck routes • Trucks cut through residential neighborhoods • County intrigued by establishing hours of operation for truckers • Interested in doing a Truck Shift Analysis for off peak hours What it does to interstate commerce? • Currently the State has control on the issue of designating truck routes • Need for legislation to allow counties to designate truck routes 5th County District currently looking at habitat conservation issues in the county • Potential to link this advocacy work with goods movement issues to advocate for buffer zone areas • Suggested looking at RAND study on conservation Environmental Justice Analysis and Community Outreach Study page 3 352 Riverside County Consultation Identified the need for grade separated crossings in the Western side of the County and the City of Coachella • 53 at -grade crossing in Western Riverside County; 8 at -grade crossings in the City of Coachella • Ambulances and Fire trucks do not have way to access the other sides of the County in case of emergency • In the City of Coachella, the UPRR railroad is a major barrier to circulation for all modes. Long freight trains result in significant delay and congestion at the limited grade - separated crossings. The tracks currently have about 60 trains per day and are expected to serve over 100 trains per day with added track capacity. 2003 Derailment in Beaumont • A freight train, operating in double track territory, derailed 18 cars which were subsequently struck by a passing train resulting in the passing train derailing 3 locomotives and eight cars. • Damage to locomotives and nearly 1,500 feet of track transformed a mile -long section of the rural roadway into a crowded construction site, while hundreds of motorists were forced to take lengthy detours around the wreckage. NAFTA Corridor 86 • Killed small business on Old 86 when the highway was built • Once known as "the Killer Highway" because it behaves like a freeway and there were high number of accidents • Lack of adequate grade separated crossings or stop signs _ Installed traffic lights to reduce speeds and control traffic in 2004 • Has potential to attract industries and more trucks • Land adjacent to State Highway 86 is critical for industrial preservation. If this land is rezoned to residential, land further east cannot be used for industrial purposes because trucks cannot access parcels through residential areas • Making efforts to preserve industrial lands that sit adjacent to the 86 because many developers are trying to convert the areas to residential Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (Mecca) • Airport is used for general aviation, which plays into trend of retiring CEO's to move their businesses to Coachella Valley • Looking to expand airport for commercial air freight for developing business community • Surrounded mostly by agricultural land and very little residential land • Buffer zones of non-residential areas surrounding the airport would need to be maintained • A high school sits 2 miles northwest of an existing runway Environmental Justice Analysis and Community Outreach Study page 4 353 " R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y C o n s u l t a t i o n " C o a c h e l l a a t t e m p t i n g t o p r e s e r v e i n d u s t r i a l z o n i n g i n s p h e r e o f i n f l u e n c e s o u t h o f A v e n u e 5 4 a n d n o r t h o f A i r p o r t " A s o f 2 0 0 4 , t h e i m m e d i a t e e n v i r o n s a r e m o s t l y a g r i c u l t u r e o r u n d e v e l o p e d .

Grade Separations, Hunter Park and Riverside Junction Areas, City of Riverside- These adjacent communities feature both BNSF and UPRR rail lines, with significant delays to local traffic resulting in high emission levels from idling vehicles. Grade separation improvements identified along the BNSF line at Iowa and Columbia Avenues and 3rd Street are projected to eliminate the potential for train versus truck/auto/pedestrian accidents and associated delays, particularly for emergency response units. Without these projects, the potential for accidents will increase as vehicular traffic is projected to increase by 200/0 and train volumes increase by 69% over the next 20 years. The communities feature TAZs with 30-50%+ of households with incomes below $25,000, and 70-79% of the population are minorities. NAFTA State Route 86 Corridor and Grade Separations, Coachella Valley —The majority of the corridor features over 900/0 minority populations and more than 50% of households with income below $25,000. As the corridor is projected to expand its freight operations, many stakeholders are concerned that the area will also develop more residential areas. Additionally, other stakeholders express concern about the growing speed of freight traffic on the corridor and the lack of traffic controls and grade separated crossings. Grade separation projects supported by TCIF funds at Avenues 56 and 66 along this corridor will contribute significantly to mitigating these impacts. Additional projects considered for study in Riverside County included: Mira Loma Multimodal Rail Yard and Warehousing —A range of health studies in the communities surrounding this facility —including Mira Loma, Jurupa, Glen Avon, Pedley, and Jurupa Valley High School —identify significant health disparities related to air quality including premature deaths, reduced lung development and capacity, and cancer rates. The facility's operations include diesel emissions from rail and trucks. The adjacent communities feature TAZs with 40-49% of households with incomes below $25,000, and other TAZs with incomes with more than 50% of households below $25,000, but there are no significant minority communities in the area. • March Airport —The Joint Powers Authority engaged the community in limiting warehousing operations and locating them away from residential areas, in addition to creating recreation areas and locations for community facilities. The agreement also restricted truck idling and traffic and identified an alternate fuel facility for trucks Task 2: Recommended Prototype Communities for Detailed Analysis 360 Riverside County • " " " R e c o m m e n d e d ' P r o t o t y p e C o m m u n i t y : L o s A n g e l e s C o u n t y H o b a r t R a i l Y a r d l a n d W a s h i n g t o n B o u l e v a r d , C i t y o f C o m m e r c e A s t h e l a r g e s t i n t e r m o d a l r a i l y a r d i n t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s ( b y v o l u m e o f t h r o u g h p u t ) , t h e r a i l a n d t r u c k t r a f f i c f r o m t h e H o b a r t R a i l Y a r d a n d t h e s u r r o u n d i n g , d e n s e g r o u p i n g o f w a r e h o u s e s h a v e s i g n i f i c a n t a i r , n o i s e , h e a l t h a n d l i g h t i m p a c t s o n t h e s u r r o u n d i n g c o m m u n i t i e s .

Currently, congested traffic on Rice Avenue sometimes encourages trucks to divert to Oxnard Boulevard, which features more residential and commercial uses. The TCIF-funded improvements to the interchange °n- and off -ramps will improve traffic flow along Rice Avenue, but the interchange is located adjacent to communities with 30-490/0 of households below $25,000 and 80-90%+ minority populations. Additionally the communities along the corridor will experience faster truck speeds and increasing truck volumes over time. The communities along Rice Avenue feature a range of 70-90%+ of the population representing minorities and one TAZ in the middle of the corridor with more than 500/0 of households below $25,000. Additional projects considered for study in Ventura County included: • Santa Paula Branch Line —This stretches from the Port Hueneme to the City of Santa Clarita, The Port of Hueneme, the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC), the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), and the City of Santa Clarita each own a separate segment of this rail corridor. The recent "Santa Paula Branch Line Rail Corridor Study" investigated the possibility of reconnecting this rail corridor for both freight and passenger use. The proposed reconnecting of the rail line and reactivation of rail service has caused concern with some interest in Ventura County, but no specific project is advancing at this point in time.

The types of support anticipated through this award include: • Development, technical review, and analysis of goods movement po►icy recommendations and projects; • Support for project prioritization and analysis; • Intra-county agency outreach and education; • Goods movement data for the 1-15 and connecting corridors; • Financial and economic impact analysis of goods movement options; and • Environmental and community impact analysis. Selection Process As part of the selection process, staff released a request for proposal (RFP) to 170 firms on April 17, 2008. The RFP was also posted on the Commission's website. The Commission received eight proposals by the deadline of May 22, 20081. The proposals were reviewed by an evaluation committee comprised of representatives from Caltrans District 8, the Southern California Association of Governments, and the Commission. Interviews were subsequently held on May 28, 2008 for five firms. Two of the firms — Cambridge Systematics, Inc., and Kimley-Horn and Associates — have provided on -call goods movement services to the Commission for the past three fiscal years and have provided excellent service to the Commission. In addition to renewing their contracts, the evaluation committee recommends that three additional firms be approved for the pre -qualified list. All five firms represent various strengths and benefits to the Commission, including one firm that specializes in public outreach: • Cambridge Systematics, Inc. • lteris • Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. • MIG, Inc. (public outreach) • Wilbur Smith Associates Funding During FY 2008/09, $250,000 in Local Transportation Fund (LTF) funds is budgeted for on -call consultant services related to goods movement.. The contracts will be a multiple -award, on -call service contract, therefore no funds are guaranteed to any consultant. Pre -qualified consultants will be selected for specific tasks based on information contained in their proposals. Services will be provided through issuance of a contract task order (CTO). The maximum amount of a CTO is $50,000. Two additional proposals were submitted after the deadline; however, in keeping with Commission policy, the proposals were not accepted and/or reviewed.

A g e n d a I t e m 8 L 3 6 8 Systemwide In FY 2008/09, Metrolink will celebrate its 16' year providing Metrolink commuter rail service in Southern California. Opening with three lines and 12 stations in October 1992, Metrolink today operates over 512 route miles on seven lines, serving 55 stations in six counties. Average weekday ridership is projected to total over 43,000 one-way trips. The resulting fare box revenue is projected at $72.4 million or 7.8% over the current year budget, due to the combination of a proposed average fare increase of 5.5%, as well as the increase in ridership. Fare revenues represent 45.8% of total operating expenses. Member agency contributions of $72.3 million for operations represent approximately 45% of total operating expenses resulting in revenue recovery in the budget of 55%, one of the higher revenue recovery ratios among commuter rail properties nationwide. . In 2004, the Metrolink Board approved a 10-year fare restructuring program that began July 1, 2005 and changed the method for calculating fares to one based on the driving mileage between stations. The 10-year fare restructuring program included an underlying average annual fare increase of 3.5%. Accordingly, for FY 2008/09 a 5.5% increase is proposed effective July 2008, with the additional amount to help offset some of the diesel fuel increase. The preliminary FY 2008/09 combined Metrolink budget is $600.8 million. The operating budget is $159.1 million, an increase of 9.6% from the current year budget, comprised of $134.6 million for train operations and maintenance -of -way at $24.5 million. The capital budget is $441.7 million made up of rehabilitation and renovation at $83.0 million and a new capital projects budget of $358.7 million.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the September 2007 Commission meeting, staff was authorized to advertise for construction bids for the North Main Corona Metrolink parking structure. This $25 million structure will provide for 1,000 parking spaces and is anticipated to take 18 months to complete. During construction, half of the existing parking lot or approximately 239 spaces will not be accessible. To address this need, staff developed a parking strategy with significant outreach to the riders. At the October 2007 Commission meeting, staff was authorized to establish a lease for a satellite parking location and provide for a shuttle agreement with the city of Corona. As the planning progressed, it was identified that there could be a greater demand for shuttle service than the single shuttle available with the city of Corona. Staff approached the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) to provide for additional vehicles and frequency as a demonstration project. This added RTA service includes two 40-foot buses that can provide for five minute frequencies during the peak service. Agenda Item 8M 371 In January 2008, the Commission began construction of the North Main Corona Metrolink parking structure. With the implementation of the parking strategy program, there has been an increase in transit connections to the stations on both RTA and Corona Cruiser. Also, the alternative Metrolink stations at West Corona and La Sierra have seen an increase in ridership. The main component of the strategy is the satellite parking program at 351 W. Rincon Street in Corona which has proven to be a success. Since January, over 200 vehicles a day are using this site to park for the North Main Corona Metrolink station. The greater frequencies of the RTA service help morning commuters by providing quick and reliable connections in order to not miss their trains. The larger buses are especially helpful in the afternoons when the trains arrive and there is the need to move a lot of passengers quickly. Passengers are extremely happy with the level of shuttle service and there have been no complaints received for the shuttles or the satellite parking lot. At its April 9, 2008 meeting, the Commission approved an item allowing staff to enter into an agreement with RTA for providing this shuttle service. As part of the agreement negotiations, it was determined that the best funding mechanism for this service would be amending the existing Transfer Funding Partnership with Metrolink that is currently funding Metrolink transfers on the RTA lines. Staff at Metrolink agrees with this approach and will work to develop an amendment to the existing agreement that will allow the Commission to fully fund the RTA North Main Corona shuttle service through the existing agreement. The cost for the RTA service is $22,705.56 a month, or $408,700 for the duration of the project. Funds have been identified to cover the shuttle operating expenditures in both current and next years rail operations budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its July 2003 meeting, the Commission approved MOU No. 23-001 for the pass through of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding from RTA to fund the Perris Multimodal Facility. The Commission was designated as the lead agency for the facility development and has proceeded with project development. Now the project is in final design and the 100% design plans are being reviewed by the city of Perris. This first phase will provide for a bus transit station which will be followed up with Metrolink service once the Perris Valley Line begins service. The current project includes a passenger waiting area connected to eight bus bays, a 141-space parking lot, a temporary restroom facility for RTA drivers, and enhanced landscaping and pedestrian walkways. To maximize the utility of the facility, the Commission's Commuter Assistance Program will establish a park and ride lot for commuter carpools and vanpools at the site and will be responsible for the entire 141-space parking lot prior to Metrolink service. This provides a great partnership opportunity, since RTA does not have an immediate need for the parking spaces. Through research, it was determined that there is a high demand for a park and ride lot in the area. Agenda Item 8N 373 The cooperative agreement confirms RTA will have a license to conduct passenger bus operations on Commission property and will provide appropriate insurance coverage and indemnification. In addition, RTA assumes the responsibility for the costs associated with the operations and maintenance for the transit portion of the facility. This includes the driveways, bus bays, platform, shelters, pedestrian walkways, personnel restroom, and trash enclosure. The Commission's Commuter Assistance Program will be responsible for maintaining the parking lot and security cameras associated with it. Costs will be shared between- the two agencies for landscaping, maintenance of the storm drain treatment system, and utilities. This cooperative agreement will need to be in place prior to the start of operations. This agreement will have a positive financial impact, with RTA contributing its share of the operating costs of facility. This agreement serves to clarify roles and responsibilities for maintenance between the agencies and will make the Perris Multimodal Facility a success well before the first Metrolink train arrives. Agenda Item 8N • 374 AGENDA ITEM 80 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 11, 2008 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Henry Nickel, Staff Analyst Sheldon Peterson, Program Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Commuter Rail Program Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for Program. the Commission to receive and file an update on the Commuter Rail BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Inland Empire -Orange County Weekend Service Performance 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 Q4 FY 07108 Passenger Trips IEOC Weekend Service �o 4`a� ^o. ^1. FY 06/07 --0—FY 07/08 Daily passenger trips on the year-round Inland Empire -Orange County (IEOC) Metrolink weekend service have continued to grow through the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, providing 9,749 passenger trips quarter to date. This is an increase of over 100% over the 4,870 trips provided at this point last year, attributed to the extraordinary ridership resulting from the May 17 Free Ride Day. The success of this service is due in large part to the coordinated marketing efforts among the Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and San Bernardino Associated Governments. Most all responsibilities for marketing of the service have transitioned to Metrolink, this has included revised seat drops, branding, and consolidation of the various weekend services under a single promotional umbrella. Agenda Item 80 375 Bicycle Facility Being Utilized at Riverside Downtown and North Main Corona Stations To mitigate the costs of ever increasing Metrolink ridership, it is important for the Commission to reasonably accommodate alternative modes of transportation to its stations. This includes connecting bicycle commutes. In order to accommodate and promote bicycle ridership, the Commission has invested in both bicycle lockers and racks at its West Corona, La Sierra and Pedley stations. The Commission has bike racks at North Main Corona but no facilities at Riverside Downtown. Demonstration of the BikeLid's clamshell design. In consideration of these concerns, the Commission purchased and installed six BikeLids at both the Riverside Downtown and North Main Corona stations. The facilities are now being used on a first come first served basis. Commission staff is monitoring usage and will determine the need for additional bicycle facilities according to demand at the two stations. May 17 Ride Free Day on the IEOC Line Exceeds Expectations In order to further promote the IEOC weekend service and stimulate increased ridership, the Commission partnered with OCTA to provide a free ride day for passengers who boarded the IEOC Line at the Riverside Downtown station on Saturday May 17th. Passengers who boarded at the Riverside Downtown station were provided one of 1,500 special tickets allowing roundtrip travel to any destination on the IEOC Line between Riverside Downtown station and Oceanside, departing on any of the two morning trains. The result was the single greatest IEOC Saturday ridership on record, with 4,658 total trips on the IEOC Line on Saturday. All 1,500 tickets were distributed. Commission; OCTA, Metrolink and security staff were on hand to distribute tickets and direct passengers. Pepsi provided 25 cases of soda distributed to passengers prior to boarding. The cost of this promotion is to be shared between the Commission and OCTA. Marketing activities will include newspaper advertisement, seat drops, station banners, and online promotion on the Metrolink website. In consideration of the overwhelming response, the Commission, OCTA, and Metrolink staff will evaluate the potential for an additional promotion to kickoff the summer leisure travel season.

Such services address the needs of transit dependent riders as well as help mitigate congestion and the necessity for expensive parking capacity at the Commission 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.

Under state law, the Commission is tasked with the responsibility to identify, analyze, and recommend potential productivity improvements for transit operators. The process requires the transit operators to address recommendations that are made by regular performance audits. The performance indicators that are evaluated through the PIP include operating costs per revenue hour, fare box recovery ratio, subsidies, passengers per revenue hour, and passengers per revenue mile, which are critical in ensuring that service can be maximized in an efficient manner. While reviewing and analyzing individual route productivity will remain with the transit operators and their governing boards, the Commission has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that transit operators are utilizing Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds efficiently and effectively. The Commission implemented TransTrack, a transit performance manager software application and training package which assists staff in compiling, tabulating, and reporting transit operating information for use in the SRTP preparation. TransTrack software assists the Commission's policy board in complying with the PIP requirements of the Public Utilities Code (PUC) and state -mandated requirements to effectively use TDA funds. PIP calculations will be analyzed and reported with the requests for financial allocations. A summary of each operator's proposed plan is provided below: City of Banning The city of Banning (Banning) works closely with the city of Beaumont (Beaumont) to provide a seamless transit system serving the residents of Banning, Beaumont, the unincorporated areas of Cabazon and Cherry Valley as well as the commercial area of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians Reservation. Banning Transit provides both dial -a -ride and fixed route services. Highlights of planned services for FY 2008/09 include the following: • No changes in service or service hours will occur in FY 2008/09 but minor schedule changes will be made to improve frequency, eliminate duplication and improve service coverage; • Banning Transit will focus on improved capital assets needed for transit operations and will close out all outstanding capital projects from prior fiscal years; • Develop a comprehensive marketing program to promote ridership growth; • New Transit Operations Procedure Manual will be developed and a detailed bus stop inventory on all Pass Transit routes operating in Banning and Cabazon will be conducted; Agenda Item 8Q 391 " " " " S t a f f w i l l e v a l u a t e p o t e n t i a l f a r e c h a n g e s f o r F Y 2 0 0 8 / 0 9 t o e n s u r e 1 0 % f a r e b o x r a t i o c o m p l i a n c e ; a n d " B a n n i n g w i l l c o n t i n u e c o o r d i n a t i o n w i t h B e a u m o n t t o s t u d y t h e f e a s i b i l i t y o f a s i n g l e t r a n s i t a g e n c y .

INTRODUCTION The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) sets the objectives and strategies for FY 2008/09 for the City of Corona Transportation Division, by evaluating current transit system performance, projected demographic changes, capital and operating funding needs, anticipated funding from federal, state and local sources, and other factors to create a reasonable projection of conditions over the next three years (FY 2008/09 - 2010/11). Population Served The U.S. Census Bureau 2006 population estimate indicates that from 2000 to 2006, Corona added 25,287 people reaching a population of 150,253. The area within the City boundary measures 39.2 square miles. Corona, like most Southern California cities, is an ethnically diverse community. According to the 2007 Riverside County Progress Report, Corona’s ethnic make up consists of Caucasian (47.0%), Hispanic (35.7%), African American (6.2%), Asian (7.7%), and All Other Races (3.5%). According to the 2006 American Community Survey, the City’s median household income of $72,162 was well above the $53,508 for Riverside County. Corona’s residential home market has reflected a median pricing drop for new homes at $585,000 as of March 2007 per the 2007 Riverside County Progress Report. The City’s demographic characteristics are indicators of the potential demand for transit services in future years. The City’s changing demographics will be incorporated into transit-related strategies developed for the City’s transit system. System Overview The City of Corona operates a general public demand responsive Dial-A-Ride (DAR) service designed to provide curb-to-curb transportation for area residents and a fixed route system called the ‘Corona Cruiser.’ Both services have been operated by a private contractor since their inception. The City has operated the DAR service since April 1977. The DAR service area includes City of Corona and the adjacent unincorporated Riverside County areas of Home Gardens, El Cerrito, and Coronita, as well as popular satellite destination points in the City of Norco (Exhibit A). Corona Cruiser fixed route service began on February 5, 2001. The service operates along two routes, Blue Line and Red Line within City limits (Exhibit B). The Corona Cruiser can take passengers to or near many of the City’s popular destinations. Page 3 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Fares The City’s transit system will not be raising fares in FY 2008/09; however, the system will continue to monitor its neighboring system, the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), as to whether they implement a fare increase over the next few years as a result of their fare study in 2008. Corona’s general practice is that fares are in line with RTA for cohesiveness. Fares for FY 2008/09: DIAL-A-RIDE CORONA CRUISER (PARATRANSIT) (FIXED ROUTE) FARE TYPE Per Ride Per Ride (up to One Loop) Day Pass 31 Day Pass General $3.00 $1.25 $3.75 $43.00 Students $1.50 $1.25 $3.75 $32.00 Seniors (60+) $1.50 $0.60 $1.85 $21.00 Persons with Disabilities $1.50 $0.60 $1.85 $21.00 Medicare Card Holders $1.50 $0.60 $1.85 $21.00 Children (46" tall or under) $0.50 $0.25 N/A N/A Buddy Fare (offer for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities on Dial-A- Ride) ½ off fare N/A N/A N/A Note: Current Fare Structure implemented on July 18, 2005 Metrolink passengers ride free on Corona Cruiser and Corona DAR with proof of a valid Metrolink ticket or pass. Per a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City, Metrolink reimburses the City for trips to and from Metrolink stations. Fleet Characteristics The City’s transit system operates a total of fourteen vehicles for both the DAR and fixed route. All vehicles are fueled at the City’s CNG and Gasoline fueling station. Table 1 describes the fleet inventory. Additionally, all vehicles are ADA compliant with wheelchair lifts and tie-down stations. The DAR service consists of nine vehicles. The fleet is a combination of five Goshen and four El Dorado National, Ford model, Type II gasoline powered buses. In April 2007, two new DAR transit vehicles replaced buses that had reached the end of their service life. Three Goshen vehicles have already been approved for replacement funding through Proposition 1B funding (PTMISEA) to be received in FY 2007/08. It is anticipated that two more Goshen vehicles will meet its 150,000 mile useful life during FY 2008/09, with the remaining two El Page 4 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Dorado National vehicles meeting the threshold in FY 2009/10. Moreover, the procurement process to replace these vehicles is planned to be completed during FY 2008/09 and FY 2009/10, respectively. Each of the DAR replacement vehicles will feature a new painting scheme to commemorate 30 years of DAR service. The City also operates five fixed route Corona Cruiser vehicles that were placed into service April 2007. All fixed route buses are CNG powered El Dorado National Chevy model Type VII buses. The City’s transit services program procured larger and more comfortable buses for fixed route service to better serve the needs of its transit patrons. Fixed route transit vehicles are also equipped with bicycle racks. Facilities Corona’s transit system is centralized at a new facility located at 735 Corporation Yard Way, Corona, CA 92880. The City’s contractor operates at this facility with Administrative and Dispatching offices adjacent to where the vehicles are stored and fueled. The facility also provides the general public access to purchase clean fuels with a CNG fueling station located at the front of the City’s Corporation Yard complex. This facility became fully operational on September 2, 2003. Page 5 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 2. SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS System-Wide Current Level of Service: System-wide ridership in FY 2006/07 was 208,392. During the first nine months of FY 2007/08, the City’s transit system experienced an increase of 9.6% in ridership compared to the same period in FY 2006/07. For FY 2007/08, projected year-end ridership is expected to be 225,000, representing an 8.0% overall increase in ridership. The increase in ridership reflects improvements in operations that have taken place during FY 2007/08 such as more focused management effort from our contractor and additional outreach which has brought new riders and returning riders since the last fare increase. Planned ridership for FY 2008/09 is 232,873 reflecting a 3.5% overall increase from projected ridership for the current fiscal year. This increase is due to schedule improvements to accommodate Metrolink passengers, improved marketing, improved communications at bus stops and improved customer service. A. SERVICE INFORMATION – Corona Dial-A-Ride (Demand Response) DAR provides service to the general public, seniors, persons with disabilities and individuals certified for complementary paratransit service under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Passengers are requested to call from one to fourteen days in advance; however, same day service may be accommodated if space is available. DAR operates within the unincorporated Riverside County areas of Home Gardens, Coronita and El Cerrito. Service is also provided to selected satellite points in the City of Norco: Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Public and Social Services, Riverside Community College – Norco Campus, Target store, and the California Rehabilitation Center. DAR service also conveniently offers Metrolink connections, drop-off or pick-up at popular connecting RTA route bus stops and Park and Ride lots in Corona. For individuals certified for ADA complementary service, service hours are expanded to match fixed route hours. ADA complementary service also provides priority service for reservations made in advance (1 to 14 days). Trips are scheduled within 1 hour of requested time. Voicemail message reservations are accepted for ADA clients on Sundays and Holidays for next day service. At a minimum, the ADA service area includes all origins and destinations in the City of Corona within a ¾-mile on each side of fixed route. Page 6 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Service hours for the Corona Dial-A-Ride are: General Public ADA Complementary Monday - Friday 6:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. 4:30 a.m. – 9:15 p.m. Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. Sunday N/A N/A Corona Dial-A-Ride service does not operate on the following holidays: January 1, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. In FY 2006/07, DAR ridership was 57,577. For FY 2007/08, ridership is projected at 64,053 which represents an increase of 11.2% in ridership from the prior fiscal year. Ridership for FY 2008/09 is planned at 66,615 which represents an 4.0% increase in ridership from current fiscal year due to better utilization of AVL and dispatch. The general public DAR service is required to meet a minimum 20.0% farebox recovery ratio. The City of Corona makes up the farebox recovery deficiency by augmenting fare revenue with the City’s local funds. B. SERVICE INFORMATION - Fixed Route ‘Corona Cruiser’ The Corona Cruiser Blue Line serves the McKinley Street retail area then travels on to Magnolia Avenue and Main Street to the River Road area. This route passes by many trip generators such as hospitals, medical facilities, public service agencies, library, Civic Center, and commercial/retail areas. This route also serves the unincorporated area of Home Gardens. The Corona Cruiser Red Line connects the densely populated residential areas of West Corona with commercial areas along Sixth Street and the Ontario Avenue/California Avenue retail area. The Red Line also covers South Corona along Ontario Avenue/Temescal Canyon Road to serve the county area of El Cerrito and “The Crossings” shopping complex at Cajalco Road/Temescal Canyon Road. To increase ridership, a possible route change or realignment of the Red Line with an extension or branch service to the Promenade Shops at Dos Lagos may be contemplated. Other options under consideration are branch service or route realignment to or near businesses and large manufacturing facilities built in the northwest and northeast area of Corona in recent years. Service could be extended to these areas if demand warranted. Bus deviation of up to one-half mile is available on the Corona Cruiser with two hours advance notice. Page 7 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Corona Cruiser Fixed Route Service Hours: Blue Line Red Line Monday - Friday 4:49 a.m. – 8:21 p.m. 5:04 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. Saturday 7:50 a.m. – 7:09 p.m. 8:07 a.m. – 7:05 p.m. Sunday N/A N/A Frequency Every Hour Every 54 minutes Corona Cruiser service does not operate on the following holidays: January 1, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. In FY 2006/07, the Corona Cruiser provided 150,815 passenger trips. Based on ridership for the first nine months, fixed route ridership is projected to increase by 6.7% for a total of 160,947 passenger trips for FY 2007/08. Ridership is projected to increase by 3.3% to 166,258 in FY 2008/09. Fixed route service is required to meet a minimum 20.0% farebox recovery ratio. Since inception of fixed route service in February 2001, route changes implemented in 2002 through 2004 have extended Corona Cruiser’s exemption from the minimum required 20.0% farebox recovery ratio. The fixed route exemption expired on June 30, 2006. The City of Corona is committed to make up any current or future farebox recovery deficiency for fixed route service by using the City’s local funds. A comprehensive operational analysis (COA) in FY 2008/09 will review current routes and recommend route and/or operational changes. As changes are implemented, a determination will be made whether to take the exemption or include the route according to recently modified RCTC farebox policy. Page 8 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 System-wide Improvements During FY 2005/06, the City’s Transit Services implemented new transit technologies that included a scheduling/dispatching application and installation of Automatic Vehicle Locator/Mobile Data Terminals (AVL/MDT) system in all its14 transit vehicles. An on-board digital video surveillance system was also installed on all vehicles. The surveillance system also has voice recording capabilities. The vision of the City is to implement the best available technologies to achieve the following goals: • Enhance customer satisfaction; • Increase overall safety and security; • Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of transit services; and • Better manage the system’s on-time performance.

RIDER CHARACTERISTICS Rider Characteristics by Fare Type The following table lists the rider characteristic information derived from the types of fare collected for FY 2006/07 for both the DAR and fixed route service: The ridership characteristics tabulated above illustrate that nearly 75% of the DAR riders are persons with disabilities and ADA certified and less than 9.0% are seniors without disabilities. Almost 10.0% of DAR passengers use the service to link to Metrolink. Approximately 44.0% of the fixed route riders purchase the general fare type at full fare. Nearly 22.0% of fixed route passengers are seniors (age 60+) and less than 3.0% of fixed route riders are persons with disabilities and/or ADA certified. Major Destinations Major trip destinations within the City of Corona include: commercial/retail areas along McKinley Street and Sixth Street; medical facilities along Magnolia Avenue; regional transit facilities near Main Street; retail services along Main Street; Public Library; local government offices; and shopping complexes located at Cajalco Road/Temescal Canyon Road and Dos Lagos/Temescal Canyon Road. Trip Purpose Many fixed route riders use the service for multiple shopping stops, making stops at pharmacies and grocery stores. Some use the service to get to or near their place of employment. Many Dial-A-Ride riders use the service to visit their doctors for regular office visits or for shopping. Others use DAR service to go directly to the North Main Metrolink station. A detailed COA will provide the City’s transit services with better insight on trip purpose.

Ninety-eight percent of riders surveyed rank the Corona Cruiser as “Good to Excellent.” Thirty-six percent of total riders surveyed rate the Corona Cruiser as “Excellent.” Transit survey results were as follows: 18% 11% 57% 10% 2%2% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% White Black Hispanic Asian Native American Other Rider Ethnicity 56% 21% 13% 10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Under $20,000 $20,000 to $44,999 $35,000 to $49,000 $50,000 or more Rider Household Income Type of Fare Payment 31 Day Pass, 12%Cash, 52% Metrolink Ticket, 3% RTA Day Pass, 3% S/D Day Pass, 11% Regular Day Pass, 16% RTA Monthly Pass, 4% Gender Breakdown of Typical Rider Femal e 64% Male 36% Overall Satisfaction Rating 0% 2% 0% 0% 5% 9% 11% 22% 16% 36% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 1 Poor 2 3 4 5 Good 6 7 8 9 10 Excellent Page 11 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 4. PASSENGER AMENITIES Fixed Route Bus Stops Improvements to the 181 bus stops in Corona will continue in FY 2008/09. The goal is to have a bench at each of the stops where feasible by June 2009. Bus stops that need a concrete pad to be ADA compliant will be addressed. All of the existing bus stops that can be brought to compliance will be completed by end of June 2009. Kiosks that display the Cruiser’s route map and schedule located at all Corona Cruiser bus stops will be updated at a minimum of every six (6) months or sooner if necessary or when major changes are made. Currently, there are 33 bus shelters citywide. Twenty-three of these shelters are Corona Cruiser bus stops and the remaining 10 are located at RTA bus stops in the City, some of which are shared. Shelters will be added at various locations throughout Corona. The goal is to increase the number of bus shelters to 45 citywide or 25.0% of the total number of bus stops by end of FY 2008/09. Continued placement of various shelters will be done as funding allows over the next three years as well as maintenance to existing shelters such as painting or removal and replacement. FY 2007/08 improvements to the bus stops included: 10 benches, route directional decals, 30 trash cans, new or replacement signage, poles, and concrete pads. The directional route decals signify how the bus travels and the route line at that particular stop. These decals will increase passenger awareness and provide a better understanding of how to ride the bus. Recent improvements are shown below: New directional route decals Bus stop along Magnolia Avenue for westbound (WB) travel on Red Line shown with newly added bench New trash cans at various bus stops route as shown above Page 12 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 5. SERVICE RELATED ISSUES Fixed Route ‘Corona Cruiser’ On-Time Performance In the past, the most frequently cited service-related issue identified by Corona Cruiser riders was on-time performance. On-time performance in FY 2006/07 was 99.0% and for the first eight months of FY 2007/08, on-time has been maintained at or above 98.9%. Corona Dial-A-Ride Dispatching/Scheduling Application In an effort to improve DAR operations, reservations, and maximize the efficiency of available resources, the City procured a new dispatching and scheduling software application developed by RouteMatch Software, Inc. This application was fully implemented in June 2006. The City transit team is committed to monitoring performance monthly in FY 2008/09 to confirm the software is being fully utilized and the hardware is performing effectively. Additional training on how to use the software will be offered to dispatchers and drivers on a continuous basis. Corona Dial-A-Ride – Transition Training Program A transition training program will continue in FY 2008/09 to increase public awareness of the convenience of the fixed route bus system in comparison to DAR service. Staff and/or contractor will conduct ongoing outreach campaigns throughout the year at community events, busy shopping centers, Metrolink stations, etc. to promote the fixed route system. Currently, DAR patrons are routinely encouraged to take advantage of the fixed route system by promoting its benefits of reliability, no required advance reservations, and that it is an affordable alternative at half of the cost of using DAR. Systemwide Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL)/Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) New transit technologies were fully deployed in June 2006. The AVL/MDT equipment was installed in all 14 transit vehicles. As part of the AVL/MDC implementation program, an interface was developed to make real time wireless communication between the vehicles and the new dispatching and scheduling software possible. Page 13 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 The operational and user-related benefits associated with deployment of enhanced transit technologies has resulted in system improvements in the following areas: • Dispatching and scheduling capabilities; • Adherence to schedule – improved system-wide on-time performance; • Accurate, up-to-date in-vehicle information; • Efficient use of available resources – potential to increase vehicle productivity by facilitating more trip combinations which will result in reduced waiting time; and • Customer communications. Staff will continue to monitor and utilize the added technologies effectively, as well as keep current on improved technologies or software updates for improved system performance. Additional training in FY 2008/09 on how to use the equipment will be offered to dispatchers and drivers on an ongoing basis to ensure proficient use of this equipment among contractor staff. The FY 2008/09 goal is to tie-in existing technology into the City’s Traffic Management Center (TMC) for real-time tracking of buses on-screen with the ability to monitor traffic. Digital Onboard Video Surveillance/Recording System Onboard Video Surveillance/Recording System equipment was installed in all 14 transit vehicles and completed by June 2006. This allows increased security and peace of mind for passengers. Farebox Recovery The City offsets farebox revenue to meet the mandated 20.0% farebox recovery with local funds. Currently, cash tickets and monthly passes are used for payment; however, this can lead to deficiencies due to the nature of our existing Diamond vault and paper system in use. The City plans to implement a GenFare payment or similar compatible system in FY 2009/10 as used in RTA buses for a seamless transition with our neighboring system. This system will allow for ease of use and accuracy for payment options such as cash and will update existing tickets to plastic cards, using Smart Card technology. These plastic cards can be loaded over again for new purchases. Balance protection will be offered if lost to restore balance or pass credit on a new card, for a nominal fee. These technologies discourage dishonest behavior by users with a ‘beep’ or other programmable sounds if pass is not valid. A bus driver will still have the ability to monitor cards should the rider fail to tap the target, minimizing fare evasion. It also accepts magnetic stripe paper currently in use by RTA. If desirable, the system has the ability to print and encode machine- readable transfers from blank stock stored internally. The system also produces fare/cash reports so that internal counting of money is balanced against pre- produced reports. Page 14 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 As a whole, revenues may increase by removing the paper system and enticing new riders with a convenient and innovative payment method. All unused tickets or passes will have a conversion period in which riders can have the balance converted and loaded onto a plastic card. Proposed marketing name for this system is the “Gateway Pass”. Planned for FY 2010/11, the system can be expanded to allow the ability of reloading patrons’ cards at their local market or place of business for their convenience instead of coming to the City, Library or City Corporation Yard to purchase or reload cards, or inconvenience of waiting for them to arrive by mail. Marketing Strategies The City’s transit services program will market the fixed route’s system on a continuous basis to encourage systemwide ridership. In FY 2008/09, City staff and contractor will continue to work together in attracting new riders and disseminating information at various locations throughout the City. As a first step in developing comprehensive marketing strategies, a set of revised priorities will be used to direct the implementation plan. These priorities may include re- alignment of Corona Cruiser routes and/or schedule adjustments to better serve the needs of transportation users to/from major activity centers within the City. Prioritized marketing efforts will be used to: • Disseminate transit information to current and potential riders; • Focus distribution of Corona Cruiser and DAR brochures to locations frequented by potential riders; • Market specific programs and special events by creating new pamphlets and/or posters for offers (i.e., Buddy Fare); • Provide transit information to schools, hospitals, community centers, major employers, etc.; • Promote transit patronage through various incentives, including free transit passes, promotions and prizes; • Advertise transit services through various City publications and consider using alternative advertising with major retail shopping centers located along routes (i.e., website, water bill, coupon page with map of fixed route) • Attract and retain DAR riders with new DAR painting scheme on replacement vehicles; and • Establish unique branding of DAR by creating an exclusive DAR logo to better identify use by general public to enhance ridership and distinguish from fixed route. As part of these ongoing marketing strategies, City staff will continue to coordinate with RTA staff for future route planning to promote transit service area coverage in the City of Corona. Page 15 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Samples of marketing strategies used in FY 2007/08 include: Where do you want to go? Corona Dial-A-Ride can make it possible Activities during the remainder of FY 2007/08 and FY 2008/09 to enhance Corona Cruiser ridership will include: • Ongoing participation at community events like Senior Health Fair, Cinco de Mayo Parade, Independence Day Parade, Day of the Child event, etc. to make public aware of ‘Corona Cruiser’ and DAR services; • Continue with training program to transition Dial-A-Ride clients to fixed route system, including distribution of free trial passes or token incentive items such as printed items with the Corona Cruiser logo; • Distribute Corona Cruiser information at various locations throughout the City, including intermediate and high schools, local businesses, City of Corona Library, Senior Center, and the City Hall; • Develop outreach campaigns at Metrolink stations, to promote free rides on the Corona Cruiser with valid Metrolink ticket or pass and also encourage existing riders to use the services more often; • Provide free fixed route bus service for Dump the Pump event (June) and on day after Thanksgiving (November), as means of promoting benefits and ease of use to increase ridership; and • Promotion of new fare payment system in FY 2009/10 (ie. Gateway Pass) encouraging existing riders to use their existing paper tickets or passes. Page 16 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 6. REGIONAL SERVICES AND ADJACENT TRANSIT SYSTEMS Corona has several members that serve on various boards or participate at events throughout the region. A member of the City Council serves on the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) governing boards and committees, as well as the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) committees. A representative from the City Council attends or serves on the advisory meetings of RTA’s Transportation NOW meetings. The Corona Public Works Director is a member of the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) which meets monthly to make recommendations to the Commission on transportation related matters. In addition, the Transportation Planning staff also participates at T-NOW meetings and stays up-to-date on the latest agenda items from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and WRCOG Clean Cities Coalition meetings. Transit transfers are coordinated with fixed route service to Riverside and the Norco Dial-A-Ride administered by RTA. An MOU between the two agencies was adopted in January 1994 to establish the transfer policy. The transfer arrangements are in conformance with the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission. This means that a passenger can do a one-way transfer between Corona Cruiser and RTA bus routes at several specified transfer points (refer to Exhibit B). An updated electronic fare system will allow the use and acceptance of RTA passes on Corona Cruiser. Corona has a transfer agreement (MOU) with Metrolink, which enables City of Corona transit riders to ride free of charge on either the DAR or Corona Cruiser when connecting to Metrolink. A MOU between the City of Corona and RTA allows joint use of the Compressed Natural Gas refueling station (fast fill) for transit vehicles at the City’s Corporate Yard located at 730 Corporation Yard Way, Corona, CA 92880. Additional alternatives will be sought as CNG stations exist or are feasible for MOU agreements to be made.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Transit Services The City of Corona offers many opportunities for public participation. Contact phone numbers for the Contractor’s Project Manager and City contact are posted inside all DAR and Corona Cruiser buses, inviting public input on both services. Customers may also provide their comments via the City website and through email designed for their input. The public is welcomed and encouraged to contact City staff with comments, questions, compliments and complaints. All complaints are investigated and corrective actions taken, if necessary. Prepaid postage comment cards are available on each bus for comments, suggestions and compliments regarding service. Public comments also serve as an important input to identify the need for service improvements such as improving customer service or operations. The Transportation Project Manager, staff and Contractor have been involved in several informational meetings with service groups, such as senior groups to provide information and offer transit training. Informational meetings and transit training will continue in FY 2008/09 on an ongoing basis. City staff also communicates regularly with RTA and Metrolink staff concerning route and schedule changes. In addition, City staff delivers brochures and posters to various locations throughout the City such as: senior citizen apartment complexes, Parks and Recreation facilities, Corona Public Library, Intermediate and High Schools, as well as employment agencies. 8. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The City’s Transit Services system meets the Mandatory Performance Indicator established (with local contribution, in order to meet 20.0% farebox ratio); and meets seven of seven Discretionary Performance Indicators, with four of the seven scoring as ‘better than target.’ 9. NEW SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION Performance of the City’s transit system is regularly monitored to ensure all route and schedule changes are implemented in correlation with new ridership trends, including changes related to cohesiveness with RTA and Metrolink services. A comprehensive operational analysis in FY 2008/09 will be used to determine if new services, route modifications or adjustments are necessary. Page 18 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 10. REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS Half Fare The half-fare requirements of the Federal Transit Act require a non-peak-hour fare for elderly persons and persons with disabilities that is no greater than one- half of the fare generally applicable to others on fixed route services during peak hours. The minimum age defined by FTA for elderly person is 65 years of age or over. The half-fare requirement for non-peak-hour fare also applies to any person presenting a Medicare card duly issued to that person pursuant to Title II or XVIII of the Social Security Act. The City’s fixed route service, Corona Cruiser, offers half-fare for elderly persons, persons with disabilities and Medicare cardholders for all hours in service. The City is allowed to use a different age per FTA to define an elderly person for half-fare. Instead of age 65, the threshold used by the Corona Cruiser is defined as 60+ years of age. In addition, Corona extends the half-fare to the City’s demand response services for person’s age 60+ years, to persons with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ADA certified/persons with disabilities fares are set at half the base fare of fixed route fares. All transit vehicles purchased for DAR services and fixed route Corona Cruiser meet all Federal and State requirements, including ADA. Service animals are permitted in both DAR and Corona Cruiser vehicles under the care of the user with no prior arrangements. DAR offers priority service to ADA certified passengers and provides ADA complementary paratransit service with service hours that match the fixed route service hours. Next day service is provided and requests for reservations are accepted at all times during normal business or during expanded hours, as well as by voicemail when the office is closed including Sundays and Holidays. The City’s transit system maintains a zero denial policy to ADA certified passengers. ADA trips are scheduled within a two-hour period or +/- one hour from time requested. A personal care attendant (PCA) rides free of charge, while companions pay ADA fare. Space will be made for PCA and one other individual accompanying the ADA-eligible individual, if requested; however, additional companions may be provided service only if space is available. Stop announcements are made on all fixed route vehicles, including assistance by drivers to ADA passengers at multi-route stops for RTA transfer points. Lifts and securement systems are used for persons who use mobility devices. Corona Cruiser requires all passengers be secured at all times, including tie- downs for mobility devices; however, if the Corona Cruiser securement system cannot accommodate the mobility device, service will not be denied. Service is provided to all persons including those using a respirator or portable oxygen. In Page 19 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 addition, adequate time is provided to allow persons with disabilities to board or disembark from the bus. Title VI In compliance with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, no person on the basis of race, color, or national origin, is excluded from participation in, or is denied the benefits of, or is subjected to discrimination within the scope of services offered by the City of Corona transit system. Notification to passengers of their right to file a complaint is included in the City of Corona website and will be added to existing comment cards in FY 2008/09. Alternatively Fueled Vehicles (RCTC Policy) All Corona Cruiser (CNG powered) and DAR (gasoline powered) buses are in compliance with Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) Policy.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Bus stop amenities such as providing riders with: access to a place to sit and wait for buses with comfort; shelters to provide refuge from the elements such as direct sunlight, wind or rain; and even a trash can represent a commitment to riders that their transit provider cares about their needs. The funds will provide an increased number of new shelters in FY 09 to areas not previously met, as well as addressing stops for ADA compliance, kiosks, additional trash cans and benches to improve fixed route service and allow for growth. The replacement or upgrade of various asset items enhances productivity and efficiency of the transit system. Other items include replacement or repair of items such as bus poles and signage, on an unplanned basis, due to: breakdown, damage, vandalism, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence. Availability of funds in a timely manner is crucial to purchase or replace such items in the interest of efficient transit operations.

Each system would automatically identify stops and routes, without any driver intervention. The APC’s software will reduce the labor cost to create the mentioned reports and will generate more accurate data. These APC’s will be integrated into the existing AVL/MDT technology currently onboard the buses. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Automatic passenger counters are a much needed tool to measure transit operation success. Data would provide reliable performance indicators and usage. Data pulled from the counters would serve as the basis for accurate operational assessments. Usage of this data would optimize the use of resources and allocation, provide trip analysis and trends, assist in service planning, maximize schedule, and provide proof of performance. The automatic passenger counters will provide data on a more detailed level, analyze at finer levels, save on passenger counting costs and time. This will alleviate manual counting by the drivers or paid counters, and put focus on driving and customer service to passengers PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES (REQUESTED): STA $60,000 Total $60,000 Page 32 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Table 5 - Summary of Funds Requested for FY 2009/10 Project Description Capital Project Number (1) Total Amount of Funds LTF STA Section 5307 - Riv-San.

The paper ticket system is virtually obsolete as this method is not reliable and easily abused. It also does not provide deterrents from misuse as riders do not always pay correct fare. The new system will provide an accurate paper trail of payment with real time data including fare type, amount, time received and built-in validation of cash or transfers from other GFI Odyssey units, or equivalent. This information is vital for planning purposes. The project will also provide a self-contained machine for self-serve use at the dispatch office. This will ensure adequate protections are in place as the monies will be accounted for by the machine and provide a check and balance against the manual count. A total of two printing encoding machines at City sites will provide better for customer service as cashiers can review card data, initialize a new card or recharge an existing smart card.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Bus stop amenities such as providing riders with: access to a place to sit and wait for buses for comfort; shelters to provide refuge from the elements such as direct sun, wind or rain; and even a trash can represent a commitment to riders that their transit provider cares about their needs. The funds provide an opportunity to continue to add new shelters in FY 11 to areas not previously met, as well as addressing stops for ADA compliance, adding or upgrading kiosks, signage, additional trash cans, benches and other amenities to continually improve fixed route service and allow for growth. The replacement or upgrade of various asset items enhances productivity and efficiency of transit system. Other items include replacement or repair of items such as bus poles and signage, on an unplanned basis, due to: breakdown, damage, vandalism, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence. Availability of funds in a timely manner is crucial to purchase or replace such items in the interest of efficient transit operations.

Agreements will be made with proposed outlet centers that are both frequently traveled to and have high ridership for locations such as a grocery or major retail store. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The need for greater access for purchasing tickets or passes for passengers is vital for customer convenience and transportation access. Many customers do not have a computer to purchase tickets online or do not want to pay with a credit card. While others do not want to pay or get a ride to another site location not frequently traveled to purchase tickets for future rides, essentially paying for a ride to buy a future ride. A better alternative is to conveniently place ticket/pass outlets where riders or potential riders can access at their places where they do business. For a combined convenience the customers would have their choice of payment. These machines will be able to issue both smart cards and magnetic tickets for use with GFI fare or similar collection equipment. The machines are compact-sized for counter use and password-protected for security.

Include City staff in the calculation of full time equivalents (FTE). Future reports will include City staff in the calculation of full time equivalents (FTE). 2. Explore developing a monthly pass outlet program. During FY 2007/08 the monthly pass outlets program has been included in preliminary studies to create agreements with local stores. Currently, monthly passes are available for purchase online at ‘The Corona Store’, or in person at the Public Library, Main City Hall or Corporation Yard. A form requesting purchase by mail, available online or on the bus, will be available by June 2009 for persons who prefer this method or do not have access to a computer. 3. Work with the contract operator to electronically submit the monthly performance report that is compatible with the City computer system. During FY 2007-08, City staff has been working with Contractor to develop electronic version of monthly report. Currently, a mid-month report is sent electronically to the City. Though progress has been made, the City is considering the development of a database system in FY 2008/09 that will share records simultaneously from the contract operator to the agency, allowing real-time review of data and customization of tables or reports. This will also avoid redundancy of re-entering data already available. 4. Conduct route by route analysis to evaluate service productivity and performance measures as the routes lose their farebox exemption. A comprehensive evaluation of Corona Cruiser routes is scheduled for FY2008/09; preliminary route realignments and extensions are currently being studied. 1 Triennial performance audit for FY 2003/04 through FY 2005/06 was conducted in FY 2006/07 and completed 6/30/07. 2 If no action taken, provide schedule for implementation or explanation of why the recommendation is no longer relevant.

Page 41 of 41 City of Corona Short Range Transit Plan for FY 2008/09-2010/11 May 2008 Table 9 – HIGHLIGHTS OF CORONA TRANSIT SYSTEM The growth in Corona has created new challenges and increased the need for public transportation. The following are currently being studied to determine the feasibility of modifying and rerouting of the two fixed routes to better meet the needs of area residents: 1. Expansion of service to South Corona—this area has seen growth in population as well as in businesses. More specifically, The Promenade Shops at Dos Lagos and recent residential development in the area will necessitate an extension of the Red Line to serve this area; 2. It has been identified that the same Red Line will serve more people if it traveled to the northwest area of the City where there are large industrial and manufacturing areas. In addition the West Corona Metrolink Station is located in this same area; and 3. Adjusted fixed route schedules allow more riders to use the Corona Cruiser to meet the Metrolink departure times at the North Main Metrolink Station. To improve the operation efficiency of the Corona transit system planned upgrades, dependant on approved funding, include: • Automatic passenger counters (APCs) to better monitor the performance of the service provided; and • Installation of automatic fareboxes on the buses. By implementing new technologies and route realignments, we intend to: increase ridership, increase revenues, and improve the service and operation of the Corona transit system.

PVVTA services began on January 24, 1978 and celebrated 30 years of service in January 2008. The Board of Directors is comprised of five representatives, three of which are appointed by the City of Blythe and two representatives who are appointed by the County of Riverside. PVVTA is administered by the General Manager, who is also the City Manager of the City of Blythe, and is appointed by the PVVTA oard of Directors. n Commission (RCTC), the regional ransportation planning agency for Riverside County. B PVVTA is funded by the State of California Transportation Development Act (TDA). Funding is administered by the Riverside County Transportatio t MISSION STATEMENT The mission statement of Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency is to provide the residents and visitors of the Palo Verde Valley with a public transportation system that maximizes passenger use, comfort, convenience, safety and satisfaction while efficiently using financial resources o benefit the community. t VISION STATEMENT The vision statement of Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency is to provide a transit service that allows anyone to go anywhere in the community easily and efficiently to improve the quality f life within the community. o OCATION & DEMOGRAPHICS L Geographically, the Palo Verde Valley is located approximately 120 miles east of Palm Springs, California and 147 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona. The valley is approximately 178 valley. Population growth in the valley is increasing at an average of bout 2% per year. miles from the Inland Empire. The Palo Verde Valley population varies greatly by season. The Valley’s permanent population is approximately 29,000 residents. Each winter, approximately 74,000 seasonal residents return to the a 4 The Transit Services The PVVTA provides a multitude of services such as the senior, persons with disabilities, and general public Dial-A-Ride service within the City of Blythe and surrounding unincorporated County areas in the Palo Verde Valley. The Dial-a-Ride service operates Monday-Friday from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm. Unincorporated communities served include Ripley and Mesa Verde. PVVTA provides three deviated fixed routes in the Palo Verde Valley which serve Blythe, Mesa Verde, Palo Verde College, California Department of Corrections facilities and limited service to Ehrenberg, Arizona and Ripley. ADA Para-transit is also provided after hours on the Fixed Routes through the route deviation service. The routes can deviate up to ¾ of a mile away from the actual route. The service hours for the Fixed Route system are; Monday- Thursday from 5:40 am to 8:30 pm (possible reduction of evening service in FY 2008/See Gold Route 2, page 18 for more details); Friday, from 5:40 am to 7:35 pm; and 8:00 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday, Sunday and limited holidays. Weekend service in general is carefully being analyzed for cost versus productivity implications. Weekend ridership is generally about 50% of what the routes carry Monday through Friday. If the weekend ridership falls below 40% compared to Monday – Friday, staff would approach the Board of Directors about service discontinuation. Finally, Desert RoadTRIP provides transportation reimbursement to individuals unable to access PVVTA Dial-a-Ride or Fixed Route services. PVVTA services are rsement and Information Project (Desert RoadTRIP) that as been in place since July 1, known to the general public under the marketing name “Desert Roadrunner”. The PVVTA’s transit services are provided under contract to Transportation Concepts of Irvine, California. Transportation Concepts has been providing transit service for PVVTA since October of 2003. PVVTA also has an agreement with the Independent Living Partnership to administer the Transportation Reimbu h 1995. Fare Structure PVVTA’s fare structure is sensitive to the local economy while attempting to maintain the mandated 10% Farebox Recovery Ratio. The schedule includes full fare and discounted ride tickets. PVVTA implemented a modest fare increase on July 1, 2004, in conjunction with the elimination of transfers and the implementation of long term passes for convenience to the frequent rider. In fiscal year 2005/06, PVVTA eliminated some of the long term passes that were being under-utilized and reinstated the 20 ride passes that were eliminated in the prior year. PVVTA did not propose a fare increase in fiscal year 2007/08, but has analyzed the fare structure and proposes a fare increase in FY 2008/09, in order to maintain the Farebox Recovery Ratio. Prior to any proposed increases, PVVTA would hold a public hearing in order to receive public input.

Desert Roadrunner deviated Fixed Route service, which began operation in August of 2001, averaged 10,768 passengers per quarter. A total of 41,223 passengers were reported in FY 2006/07. PVVTA’s Desert RoadTRIP carried 2,652 one way trips and over 68,59 a 12 RIDER CHARACTERSITICS The PVVTA 2007 Ridership Profile survey was conducted in the month of June. The survey stated that 45% of all Dial-A-Ride passengers are persons with disabilities, 25% are seniors age 60 years and older and the remaining 30% are general public passengers. Seventy-two (72%) of all riders on the deviated fixed route ride the bus more than twice a week; 80% of all Desert RoadTRIP passengers are persons with disabilities, 60% are seniors (age 60 years and older) and the remaining clients are low-income general public passengers who have no c a cess to alternative transportation. Trip generators on Desert Roadrunner include retail shopping areas along Hobsonway Blvd., as well as the Riverside County Department of Social Services, Palo Verde Hospital, Enrenberg Arizona, Palo Verde College, United States Postal Service Office and Kmart Shopping Center. Work, school and shopping are the dominant reasons for trips, followed by social services, health care and recreation. 13 SERVICE RELATED ISSUES As with other transit agencies, PVVTA is constantly trying to maximize services with available funds, while adhering to regulations, mandates and performance requirements. Consistent with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan, PVVTA’s goal is to increase annual ridership. However, it is difficult to achieve the goal due to the ease of driving (e.g. little traffic) and parking within the community. Most of the existing subdivision areas in the Palo Verde Valley are being retrofitted to include public transportation amenities. Palo Verde College built a new campus six miles away from the rban core of the City of Blythe and provides 1,200 free parking spaces. occur in order to bring rvice costs in line with the mandated 10% Farebox Recovery Ratio. e and Ripley, stop and let people board the bus even though they are ot at a bus stop. safe and with authorization from a dispatcher or on site assistance from a pervisor. u In Fiscal Year 2008/09, staff will continue its efforts to maximize ridership within the constraints of the TDA mandated Farebox Recovery requirement. Existing services and fares will continue to be monitored by staff for efficiency. If necessary, changes in service configurations or service hours (late hours and weekend service) may se During the Unmet Transit Needs Hearing in March of 2008, five individuals provided comments regarding service needs in the Palo Verde Valley area. Three of the individuals requested later runs on the Friday & Saturday Fixed Route service, one requested an earlier departure from the Ironwood State Prison, and the last individual requested that the bus in route to Mesa Verd n First Response: PVVTA used to provide service on the Fixed Route until 10:00 p.m. but after analyzing the ridership data, it was determined that it was not feasible to run the service past 8:30, therefore, dropped the time from 10:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for lack of ridership. Second Response: The departure time from Ironwood State Prison may be altered to better fit the schedule but must have Board approval prior to implementing the new time. This change will go before the Board at the first meeting in FY 2008/09. Third Response: Flag stops are not usually allowed for safety and insurance purposes but drivers are aware to look for passengers that need to board the bus at a non-bus stop and may board these passengers only if it is su REGIONAL SERVICES & ADJACENT TRANSIT SYSTEMS PVVTA is the only public transit operator in the City of Blythe and the Palo Verde Valley. However, inter-city service to the Palo Verde Valley is provided by Quartzsite Transit Services, which has a deviated fixed route that comes to Blythe every Tuesday; La Paz County Transit, which has a deviated fixed route from Ehrenberg to Blythe every Monday and Wednesday and Greyhound, which provides intercity bus service between Blythe and Los Angeles, or El Paso, Texas with intermediate stops in Riverside County such as Indio, Palm Springs, Corona cooperative service agreement with La Paz County Transit and Quartzsite Transit Services. and Riverside.

AB2766 grant funding has been awarded to the City of Blythe in the amount of approximately $375,000, for the construction of this CNG fueling station. In Fiscal Year 2005/06, PVVTA budgeted $25,000 for this project and in FY 2007/08 budgeted $255,587 toward construction of the project. The City of Blythe Redevelopment Agency and the County of Riverside will also contribute $100,000 each, therefore, making available $855,587 to construct a CNG commercial quality fueling station. Staff believes the project could ultimately cost $1 million, but will move forward towards construction on an incremental basis. In order to start and help with the process of constructing a CNG fueling station, Mohave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) hired a consulting firm by the name of Gladstein, Nandross & Associates to help the City find potential sites for the fueling station. Once a site has been identified, staff will continue to move forward with this project. RELOCATION OF TRANSIT OFFICE The Agency currently rents an office from the City of Blythe, but the City is looking to demolish the building and add to their parking lot. The Blythe Redevelopment Agency purchased property that it will sell to the Transit Agency for construction of its new office. The Agency buses will also be able to park at this new location. Currently, they are parked at the City’s Central Garage. The estimated cost of relocating and constructing a new ffice will be about $952,878, and this amount is being requested in the FY 2008/09 budget. o 17 ITY CIRCULATOR SERVICE WITHIN THE CITY OF BLYTHE an deviate for passengers up to ¾ of mile with a 30 minute in advance servation. tions to Greyhound can be made at e Transfer Center at Rice Street at Lovekin Boulevard. day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, hristmas Day and any other State observed holiday.

Action(s) Taken And Results (1) Staff has already approached Student Services at Palo Verde College to make a Student Pass along with the ASB Card. Staff will continue on building that relationship with PVC. Include an allocation of City staff and mechanic in the Full-time Equivalent count. City staff and the mechanic position have not been included in the State Controller's Report as part of the Full-time Equivalent count, but will be counted in all future reports. Consider charging a different fare for general public Dial -A -Ride from the senior/disabled fare. Staff will analyze and consider this option. This may be a way to keep the Dial -A -Ride service into Ripley on Monday through Friday. Work with the Contractor to include in the monthly operations report performance data that show "Year -to -Date", as well as "Same Month One Year Ago", information. This information should be shared with the Agency's Board on a regular basis. These reports were added in Fiscal Year 2007/08 and presented to the Agency's Board as well. All this data is currently tracked and available to staff, but a report will have to be formatted in order to present it to the Board. PVVTA should coordinate with the transit The transit contractor currently schedules contractor and CHP to schedule regular the CHP inspections and does so around inspections, due about the same time each the same time each year. The problem is year. that the CHP has a nine month back log due to the size of the district and priority to the border zones. Blythe Scales, Winterhaven Scales, Calexico Border, Yuma Border, and all agriculture businesses are in this district, therefore, the back log and difficulty in scheduling a regular inspection. (1) if no action taken, provide schedule for implementation or explanation of why the recommendation is no longer relevant. 39 ti yr d� tourAT ha pxtaiiar am i:s�n Data Elements Unlinked Passenger Trips Passenger Miles Total Actual Vehicle Revenue Hours Total Actual Vehicle Revenue Miles Total Actual Vehicle Miles Total Operating Expenses Total Passenger Fare Revenue Net Operating Expenses Performance Indicators FY 2007/08 Plan Mandatory: 1.

In FY 2008, RTA provided more than 7.3 million trips for its customers and operated over 667,000 revenue hours and 10.8 million revenue miles. In FY 2009, service enhances will focus on improving connectivity and schedule performance along with the launch of three new fixed routes: Route 55- The Harveston Shuttle; Route 212- San Jacinto– Hemet- Perris- Riverside CommuterLink; and Route 214: San Jacinto- Hemet- Temecula- Escondido CommuterLink. RTA plans to operate 711,689 revenue service hours and 11.6 million revenue service miles, providing an increase of 7% for revenue hours and 7% for revenue miles over FY 2008. Ridership is also expected to increase over 4% for a total of 7.6 million trips system-wide.

Unlike other agencies its size, RTA is unique in that it provides service in both urban and rural areas. Urbanized and rural areas are defined by the Bureau of Census and are based on population size. The urbanized areas served by RTA are Riverside/San Bernardino, Hemet/San Jacinto, and Temecula/Murrieta. The map below illustrates RTA’s service area and its neighboring counties. RTA is challenged by changing demographics in various communities and continues to be proactive by planning routes that will be customer oriented, viable, efficient, and cost effective. RTA SERVICE AREA 2 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 A. Fixed-Route Services A fixed-route is a bus line that provides regularly scheduled service and published schedules. In FY 2009, RTA will have a total of 51 fixed-routes that may be categorized into three basic types: Regional Routes: Routes designed to travel a great distance to link travelers from one community to another, creating a network throughout the service area. These routes are generally offered throughout the day on major corridors. Local Routes: Routes that primarily operate within urbanized communities. The routes generally offer service throughout the day and evening on major arterials and local streets and serve as feeder routes to regional and express routes. Express Routes: Routes designed to move more rapidly than a local route by limiting bus stops and taking advantage of High Occupancy Vehicle lanes and facilities. These routes are generally offered during peak commute periods to offer an alternative to driving solo. In FY 2009, RTA will operate 8 express routes and 41 regional and local routes, in addition to 2 seasonal fixed-routes. Depending on the level of ridership and density of an area, a fixed-route will either be directly operated or contract operated. A directly operated route is managed in-house and has cost that is fully burdened with the Agency’s overhead. A contract operated route is managed by a third party and carries only a portion of the Agency’s overhead. Generally, the cost of a directly operated fixed-route is nearly double than that of a contracted route. Refer to Table 3A for a complete list of the directly operated and contract operated routes. See Appendix A for directly operated route maps and Appendix B for contract operated route maps. B. Paratransit Services RTA offers paratransit services known as “Dial-A-Ride,” to seniors and persons with disabilities. Dial-A-Ride is a demand-response service for qualified individuals who are provided transportation by means of advanced scheduling. A taxi overflow program is also used to supplement the demand response service in the event of capacity constraints. In the cities of Corona, Beaumont and Banning, RTA coordinates regional services with those cities’ municipal transit systems. In the City of Riverside, RTA coordinates with the City's Riverside Special Services, which provides Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary service to RTA's fixed-route services. Consolidated Transportation Services Agency RTA is one of only two designated Coordinated Transportation Services Agencies (CTSA) in Riverside County, the other being Sunline Transit Agency in the 3 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 Fare Categories Base Fares General/Youth 25¢ Senior/Disabled/Medicare Card Holder 10¢ County, City Em ployees, J urors and holders of a valid parking ticket or RTA Pass FREE The Trolley (Red & Green Line) Fare Categories Base Fares Ticket Books Senior $2.50 $25 Disabled $2.50 $25 Medicare Card Holder $2.50 $25 Child (46" tall or under) – If acc ompanied by a rider that is ADA certified and space is available Dial-A-Ride tickets are not accepted on fixed route buses.

Coachella Valley. RTA’s role as a CTSA is to coordinate paratransit services throughout the approximate 2,500-square-mile service area; provide driver training and technical workshops; assist with processing grant applications, and develop RTA’s Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). Additionally, RTA staff periodically meets with social service providers, bus riders, and advocacy agencies through forums such as the Riverside County Transportation Commission Citizens Advisory Committee, RTA’s ADA Committee meetings, and quarterly regional transit operators’ meetings with other service providers. C. Fare Structure In April 2005, RTA increased fares for the first time in over five years. The following is the current fare structure approved and adopted by the Board of Directors. Annual Pass General $1.25 $3.75 $12 $11 $43 $450 Youth (grades 1-12) $1.25 $3.75 $12 $11 $32 $375 Senior 60¢ $1.85 $12 $11 $21 $220 Disabled 60¢ $1.85 $12 $11 $21 $220 Medicare Card Holder 60¢ $1.85 $12 $11 $21 $220 Child (46" tall or under) 25¢ N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Annual Pass General $2.25 $3.75 $12 $43 $450 Youth (grades 1-12)$2.25 $3.75 $12 $32 $375 Senior 60¢ $1.85 $12 $21 $220 Disabled 60¢ $1.85 $12 $21 $220 Medicare Card Holder 60¢ $1.85 $12 $21 $220 Child (46" tall or under) 25¢ N/A N/A N/A N/A CommuterLink Fares Fare Categories Base Fares Day Passes 7-Day Pass 31-Day Pass Fixed Route Fares Fare Categories Base Fares Day Passes 7-Day Pass 10 Tripper 31-Day Pass 4 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 A Fare Study is currently being conducted to analyze the current and appropriate fare level for RTA services. This study is expected to be approved by the Board in FY 2009 with possible changes to the fares to occur no sooner than January 2009. D. Vehicles in Fleet RTA’s fleet of vehicles (as of June 2007) consists of a total of 187 vehicles for its fixed-route services, which includes 113 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered 40-ft. buses; 13 CNG 30-ft. to 32-ft. buses; 52 Type II and VII vehicles for contracted fixed-routes; 6 trolleys, and 3 30-ft. diesel buses which are used as spares and will be retired in 2009. RTA also has an additional 72 vehicles employed for paratransit services, for a total of 259 revenue service vehicles. Refer to Table 1 for detailed inventory of the RTA fleet. The CNG 40-ft. buses are used for directly operated services that are generally in more densely populated areas such as Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, Perris and surrounding communities; while the 30-ft. to 32-ft. CNG buses and 22-ft. to 24-ft. mini-buses are typically used as CommuterLink vehicles on contracted fixed- routes or for local service in lower density communities. All RTA vehicles comply with clean fuel policies and come fully equipped with ADA accessible wheelchair lifts, including its paratransit vans. In addition, all fixed-route service vehicles are equipped with bicycle racks. In FY 2008, RTA operated a total of 137 fixed-route peak hour vehicles throughout the service area, providing a 29% spare ratio. In FY 2009, RTA will operate a total of 147 fixed-route peak-hour vehicles throughout the service area, providing a spare ratio of 29%. E. Potential Population to Be Served While RTA services are for the general public, the Agency has begun placing more emphasis on commuter services as a market segment with growth potential. Currently, RTA offers six commuter services, comprised of five CommuterLink routes (202, 204, 206, 208, and 210) and one express route (149). Many customers perceive the branding of the CommuterLinks to be an important facet of this service because of the exclusive amenities such as the upholstered seating, wireless internet, and on-board satellite television service. To expand on this market base, RTA is launching new express routes from San Jacinto/Hemet to Riverside and San Jacinto/Hemet to Escondido, which are anticipated to begin in January 2009. Another growing group of customers that was identified in the COA are students in secondary school and college. RTA is committed to working with school districts and colleges and universities to provide public transit service. For middle and high schools, RTA maintains and updates a database containing information on location, bell schedules, and school site and district boundaries for routing and 5 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 scheduling purposes. At the college level, RTA continues to develop and build relationships with college and university officials to improve transportation for their students. In addition to the UCR UPASS, which began in September 2006, RTA is also working with college and city officials on another UPASS program for the Riverside Community College campuses in Riverside, Moreno Valley, and Norco. With a valid student identification card, students from these campuses would receive complimentary access to any of RTA’s fixed-routes. F. Facilities Operational Facilities RTA’s main facility is located in the City of Riverside and houses the Administration, Operations, and Maintenance departments with approximately 320 active employees at this site. RTA’s secondary facility is located in Hemet and was opened in June 2000 and has approximately 54 employees currently working in the Maintenance and Operations departments. The Hemet facility is utilized for routes in the southern portion of the service area and maintains 25 CNG vehicles out of the facility. Transit Centers RTA is in the stages of planning for six transit centers to be completed within the next five years. Transit centers are community-centered, multi-modal facilities where bus and rail passengers benefit from a selection of mobility choices. These modes of travel can include single-occupancy vehicles, carpools, vanpools, bicycles, walking, freeways and arterial streets, local and commuter express buses, light rail, and regional rail networks. Transit centers may be publicly owned by various agencies and are well-situated for advancement of public-private investment partnerships leading to “transit- oriented” commercial and residential development. Future transit centers will also feature convenient park-and-ride facilities. The following is a summary of each transit facility RTA will be utilizing. Downtown Riverside Transit Center: This full-feature transit center will be located at Vine and 9th Streets off the 91 Freeway in Riverside. It is intended to capture ridership for Amtrak and Metrolink trains while connecting primarily to several RTA CommuterLink and local transit routes. The RTA operated portion of the Center will replace the existing Downtown Terminal near University Ave. and Market St. The Center is planned to have 10 bus-bays within walking distance of significant urban residential and commercial development, the Downtown Justice Complex and numerous visitor destinations, with cost estimated at $10.3 million. Construction could start in 2010, and upon completion in 2012 it would be the busiest transit center in Riverside County. 6 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 North Main Corona Transit Center: Located off Grand Blvd. near the 91 Freeway interchange with North Main St; this busy location will facilitate multi- modal transfers between Metrolink, RTA local and express routes, the Corona Cruiser community bus service, and carpools and vanpools. This Center is planned to have 8 bus bays and is in the final design approval stage. Total cost of the project is approximately $9 million and will be completed in 2010. Perris Multi-Modal Center: Situated off D St. near 4th St. (State Route 74), this central county location will facilitate multi-modal transfers between Metrolink, RTA local and express routes, and park-and-ride patrons. Ridership would be captured from Perris, Sun City, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Lakeview and surrounding communities. The City of Perris has worked with RTA to incorporate a distinctive historical ambience in a streetscape design that reflects Southern California’s entertainment and cultural heritage. RTA would utilize the transit center which will be completed in the first phase of the $5.3 million project. The center would have 8 bus-bays and completion of the first phase is estimated for late 2009. Moreno Valley-March Field Transit Center: Located in the March Joint Powers Authority (JPA) jurisdiction off Cactus St. near newly-developed Meridian Pkwy. employment centers, this facility will feature 6 bus bays and multi-modal transfers between Metrolink and RTA local and express routes converging from across Moreno Valley and beyond. WRCOG, RTA, RCTC and the March JPA have commissioned The Planning Center consultants to create conceptual design options. The transit center is in the preliminary design phase and is estimated to be completed in 2012 with an estimated cost of $6.5 million. Hemet Transit Center: Strategically located in Central Hemet off State St. near Menlo Ave., this facility at the terminus of the RCTC-owned rail branch line will capture riders from Hemet and San Jacinto. Preliminary concepts for the Center feature a strong commitment to transit-oriented development with extensive “Farmer’s Market” style amenities and distinctive residential neighborhoods. The 4 bus bay project is in the preliminary design stage with dedicated funding so far reaching $1.4 million towards the project. Completion is estimated for 2011 as a bus only facility until a proposed extension of the Perris Valley rail line to Hemet is formalized. Temecula Transit Center: Located near the city boundary with Murrieta at Jefferson Ave. and Cherry St; this transit center will be a robust marshaling site for vanpools, express buses, and possible BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) destined for Orange County and San Diego County employment centers. The 12 bus bay project is undergoing environmental feasibility clearance with federal agencies. Total cost for the project is estimated at $8 million with a completion date expected for 2012. 7 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS In FY 2008, RTA is expected to operate over 667,000 revenue hours and 10.8 million revenue miles, with a total budget of just over $54 million. In FY 2008, ridership increased by 300,000 boardings over the previous year for a 3% increase. In FY 2009, ridership will continue on an upward trend to rise approximately 4% over FY 2008 to 7.6 million trips system-wide. Directly operated fixed-route rider- ship is expected to increase by 3% to over 6.1 million boardings, and contracted fixed-route ridership is estimated to increase 7% for over 1.1 million boardings. Total DAR including taxi overflow ridership is also increasing and is projected to grow 18%. RIDER CHARACTERISTICS Bus passenger characteristics are developed from an on-board survey conducted according to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI guidelines. The 2007 Title VI survey was obtained by means of rider interviews conducted as part of the COA Study. A summary of the weekday riders concluded the following: General Demographics o Ethnicity: 41% Latino/Hispanic; 28% White; 24% African American; 3% Asian; 4% Other o Gender: 54% Female; 46% Male o Median Income: $14,750 o Median Age: 34.5 Bus Fare Categories o General: 69% o Youth: 12% o Disabled: 11% o Senior: 8% Method of Fare Payment o Cash: 52% o 31 Day Pass: 32% o 1 Day Pass: 11% o 7 Day Pass: 4% o Metrolink Pass: 1% Number of buses used for Trip o 56% of those surveyed use one bus for their one-way trip, with the 44% remaining riders who have to transfer, an average of 1.6 transfers is required to get to their end destination. Frequency of Use per Week o 5 or more days: 58% 8 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 o 3-4 days: 22% o 1-2 days: 11% o Less than 1/week: 4% o Less than 1/month: 3% o First Time: 2% Mode of Access Over 80% of weekday riders walk to their first bus stop and to their end destination. Customer Origins and Destinations Over two-thirds of the riders surveyed indicated that their home was the place of origin for their trip; with the workplace as the second most common with 28% o Home-Work Trips: 42% o Home-Social Trips: 11% o Home-Retail Trips: 9% o Home-School Trips: 8% o Home-Medical Trips: 6% PASSENGER AMENITIES In FY 2008, RTA advanced its technological capabilities by launching an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) on directly operated service routes that represent about 80% of RTA passengers. Included in the ITS network are functionalities that improve the workflow operation both internally and externally for the customer. With sophisticated programs such as WebWatch, dispatch can track the location of every 40-ft. bus, or approximately 60% of the fleet and in turn, allows for schedule adherence to be greatly enhanced. RTA has marked the start of the innovative Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) with its SmartStops which relay real time arrival information to kiosks displayed at major transfer points. Currently, SmartStops are installed at heavily used bus stops in the City of Riverside and will be expanded to other cities in the service area. 9 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 The SmartStop technology is coupled with plans to continue an aggressive program to enhance transit amenities. Existing shelters are continuously refurbished and new benches, trash receptacles and kiosks have also been placed at many existing bus stops. Newer bus benches are designed to be graffiti resistant and discourage loitering. Furthermore, over 400 new bus turnouts have been installed since 2003 as a result of staff coordination with local developers. Based on the number of boardings per stop, passenger shelters will be placed at locations having an average of 50 daily boardings and at major trip generators such as senior centers and retail centers. Additionally, bus stop signs, benches, and trash receptacles will continue to be placed at as many of the approximate 4,000 stops in the service area as feasible. RTA staff will continue its work with local jurisdictions to convert as many bus stops as possible to ADA-compliant status. Future bus schedules will further benefit from enhanced “signal priority” technology planned for Bus-Rapid Transit and other major routes on the RTA system. A transmitter from the vehicle would allow the traffic signals along major streets to remain in “green” mode at busy intersections for several seconds longer, therefore allowing the bus to advance more quickly along its route and providing a time savings benefit to the passenger, compared to a private automobile. SERVICE-RELATED ISSUES As a result of being the fastest growing area in the State of California, vehicle traffic in general has vastly increased throughout Riverside County, seriously impacting on-time performance. Utilizing replacement equipment that arrived in FY 2006, RTA added vehicles to existing routes in an effort to ensure on-time performance, especially during peak hours. As part of RTA's participation in the Southern California Association of Governments’ (SCAG) Intelligent Transporta- tion System (ITS) Project, and as a result of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) study findings, RTA hopes to gain participant cities’ backing to provide signal prioritization for buses in order to better adhere to schedules and for the foundation of BRT whose ultimate goal is faster service. The provision of ADA services remains a challenge as service requests continue to increase and the number of ADA-eligible riders continues to grow. In February 2008, DAR ridership rose 30% over the same month last year, one of the highest in FY 2008. By the end of FY 2008, it is expected that growth for DAR will reach 17%. Much of this growth is attributed to the expanding “baby-boomer” generation requiring paratransit services. To manage the growth in paratransit, RTA is now providing paratransit service exclusively for seniors, persons with disabilities and ADA certified riders and will review other current policies that can mitigate the growth. RTA plans to continue utilizing taxi overflow service only as needed. 10 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 REGIONAL SERVICES AND ADJACENT TRANSIT SYSTEMS RTA coordinates regional service with its neighboring transit agencies in Riverside County and adjoining cities and counties. Agencies that RTA partners with include RCTC, WRCOG, SCAG, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), Southern California Air Quality Management District (AQMD), Metrolink; bus transit agencies including SunLine, Omnitrans, OCTA, North County Transit District (NCTD); and local cities. Following is a summary of significant issues being addressed through RTA’s partnerships with these other agencies. Along its northern service area boundary, RTA closely coordinates with Omnitrans, currently providing transfer opportunities in Colton, Country Village, Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, Montclair, and Redlands. Transfers in Montclair and Redlands are currently being evaluated to identify possibilities to increase ridership. In addition, Route 204 is also designed to connect with the Omnitrans network in Montclair and Ontario. Adjacent to the northwest quadrant of the RTA service area, agreements with Foothill Transit are planned to be negotiated in the coming year. In the southwest quadrant, RTA coordinates Route 202 into Oceanside to connect with the NCTD service network and San Diego’s Coaster train. RTA is also a member of the I-15 Interregional Partnership with SANDAG and Caltrans to study and strategize how commuter and peak-hour traffic flow between the two counties can be improved. Towards the west, RTA has a Memorandum of Understanding with OCTA to share costs of RTA’s Route 149 and OCTA’s Route 794. Both routes provide commuter services between Orange and Riverside counties. Transfer agreements have been formalized with the City of Corona, Omnitrans, and Southern California Regional Railroad Authority (SCRRA) – more commonly known as Metrolink. In the cities of Corona, Beaumont and Banning, RTA coordinates regional services with each City’s municipal transit systems. In the City of Riverside, RTA coordinates with the City's Riverside Special Services, which provides ADA complementary service to RTA's fixed-route services. RTA staff also continues coordination efforts with social service agencies in scheduling paratransit trips especially during RTA peak service times. RTA has also engaged in private-public partnerships, such as the Harveston Shuttle to better utilize vehicles and reduce cost. The Harveston Shuttle, anticipated to commence winter 2009 as Route 55, is a community route primarily serving a master planned community that provides connections to various activity centers and other routes, and is subsidized by the housing developer. RTA plans to collaborate with the rside County Department of Public and Social Services and Care-A-Van, Transit Inc. to propose new service for the HOPE Bus, the Hemet Opportunity Project Express Bus, which would 11 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 provide needed services to welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals who require transportation during non-traditional work hours. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION RTA provides numerous ways for the public to communicate their concerns, suggestions and requests. These include public hearings held annually for the budget and SRTP adoption, opportunities at monthly Board of Director meetings for public comment, opportunities at quarterly ADA meetings held alternatively in Riverside and Hemet, postal mail, e-mail, telephone (through the RTA telephone information center), in person at the RTA headquarters, RTA staff who attend numerous community meetings throughout the service area, and interactively through RTA’s website. All comments are logged and investigated or reviewed by the appropriate staff member, and, if requested, a response is provided. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Service productivity is measured against the Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) targets implemented by RCTC in September 2005. Using the PIP as a basis, transit operators in Riverside County develop their SRTP using the following performance indicators to establish targets: • Fare box Recovery Ratio • Cost per Revenue Hour • Subsidy Per Passenger • Subsidy Per Passenger Mile • Subsidy Per Revenue Hour • Subsidy Per Revenue Mile • Passengers Per Revenue Hour • Passengers Per Revenue Mile PIP implementation policies require mandatory compliance for the farebox recovery ratio target plus attainment of at least four of the seven remaining indicators. For FY 2009, RTA will meet or exceed seven of the eight performance indicators at the system-wide level. However, at the individual route level, performance results are not all 100% PIP compliant due to the population density and other factors that affect route productivity and service demand. Cost per Revenue Hour is projected to be $78.09 which is $.85 or 1.1% over the target. This is due to a dramatic increase in CNG Fuel rates. The discretionary PIP indicators that utilize operating expense (Operating Cost per Revenue Hour, Subsidy per Passenger Mile, Subsidy per Passenger, Subsidy per Revenue Hour, and Subsidy per Revenue Mile) exclude the FY 2008 GASB 43/45 over annual required contribution (ARC) or pre-fund amount of $4.3M. The 12 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 expenses do include the GASB 43/45 ARC of $1.3M. The exclusion of the pre- fund amount of $4.3M from discretionary PIP measurements was the agreed upon methodology with RCTC in order to maximize our Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) obligation. For FY 2009 target setting purposes, the FY 2008 year to date March estimate excludes the GASB 43/45 pre-funding. The FY 2009 operating expense budget does not include any GASB 43/45 funding as the agency is foregoing this key expense until the economic outlook brightens. RTA’s proposed FY 2009 service profile and operating budget is in compliance with seven of the eight estimated PIP targets. The increase in salaries and benefits over FY 2008 is attributed to filling open budgeted positions, the increase of fifteen coach operators for the January 2008 and January 2009 service expansion and increased health benefit rates. Purchased transportation growth is attributed to a change in the Fixed Route contractor, fuel increases and DAR demand growth. CNG fuel is expected to increase 30% over FY08. Other growth includes, but is not limited to, addition of two new CommuterLink routes, unleaded gas, utilities, and facilities-related services.

The last update of the DBE Program was submitted to FTA in August 2007. • Drug and Alcohol Testing: In compliance with FTA a drug and alcohol report is submitted every year. • Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO): The EEO Program is submitted to FTA every three years. The last submission was in December 2006. RTA is fully compliant. • Title VI: RTA’s last Title VI report to the FTA was submitted and approved in November 2007. The next Title VI update submittal will be completed in 2010. • Transportation Development Act (TDA) Triennial Audit: The last Triennial Audit was completed June 2007. Prior triennial audit findings have been resolved and recommendations have been implemented. The 2007 TDA Triennial Audit has been completed and findings and recommendations are found in Table 6. 14 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 PLANNED SERVICE CHANGES: SRTP service modifications set forth in FY 2009 to 2011 will focus on three core areas needing improvement: 1. Headways & Connectivity – This program employs new computer scheduling software, global positioning technology and real-time visual aids that would improve clocked scheduling, frequencies, and connections to other routes. 2. Streamlining – This would enhance service along serve major streets and corridors; reduce circuitous routing; reduce duplication of service; and improve connectivity to other routes. 3. Growing Communities – This would improve routes in communities that have seen a significant increase in population and show a demand for added transit service. It includes a review of how more schools, community facilities, and housing developments can be better served by transit. The following descriptions of service changes will be implemented from FY 2009 through 2011. For a comprehensive overview of the impact in ridership, hours, miles, and cost for each route below refer to the Comparative Statistics table. Economic forecasts play a pivotal role in the planned service changes for the next three years. Although service will be relatively stable in FY 2009, planned service changes in FY 2010 and 2011 are contingent upon improved economic conditions. Therefore, should funding be unavailable for larger planned projects such as new express routes and BRT, the implementation will be delayed until sufficient revenue is available. Existing Service Changes FY 2008-2009 Route 36: Route 36 is a local route traveling from Beaumont and Banning to Calimesa and Yucaipa. In January 2008, Route 36 was restructured to service Yucaipa and improve connections with Omnitrans. In Fall 2008, the route will be extended to other neighborhoods in the City of Calimesa. Route 42: Route 42, known as the “Estudillo Express” is a local route in the City of San Jacinto. This route will be restructured in Fall 2008 to better service trip generators in the area. Route 74: Route 74 is a regional route traveling between Perris, Menifee, Hemet, and San Jacinto. Currently, this route operates on weekdays with inconsistent headways ranging from 60 to 90 minutes as a result of trying to meet two school bells and connections with other routes. Additionally, local construction and increasing traffic flow along some segments of the route have required additional running time in the schedule during peak hours 15 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 that also contributes to the staggered headways. In FY 2009, Route 74 will be analyzed along with Route 79 to determine if the two routes can be interlined without adding additional revenue hours, thereby improving the frequency to at least 60 minutes. Route 79: Route 79 is a regional route connecting Hemet to Temecula with stops in Winchester and French Valley. Similar to Route 74, this route operates on weekdays with inconsistent headways of 80 to 90 minutes as a result of trying to meet school bells and connections with other routes. In FY 2009, this route will be analyzed to study the travel patterns of passengers to determine how the route can be streamlined to improve the frequency without adding more resources and cost. FY 2009-2010 Route 7: Route 7 is a local route in Lake Elsinore with a frequency of 35 minutes on weekdays and 70 minutes on weekends. As one of the most productive contracted routes in the system and to keep pace with growth, another bus will be added as early as Spring 2009 on weekends to improve the frequency to weekday levels. Route 8: Route 8 is a local route in Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. Since the January 2008 service change, Route 8 ridership has grown substantially making it the contracted route with the highest ridership. Similar to Route 7, another bus will be added to this route for weekend service as the current headways of two hours is not sufficient to sustain the demand. Route 23: Route 23 is a local route in the Murrieta/Temecula area and operates a circuitous alignment with stops at the Inland Valley Hospital, the Wal-Mart at Murrieta Hot Springs & Madison, City Hall, County Center Drive, and the Senior Center. In Fall 2009, this route will be broken up into at least two different routes that will serve the City of Murrieta. With the growing demand for service in this area, the new routes will travel to new office and commercial corridors along both sides of Interstate 15 between the new Murrieta Civic Center and the Promenade Mall area in Temecula. Places that will be served include the Hancock Ave. Medical Corridor, Murrieta Hot Springs retail centers, County Offices on Ynez Road, a Transit Loop near the Promenade Mall, the new Town Center on Jefferson Avenue where City Hall is located, the Madison Avenue Shopping District as well as several of the middle schools and high schools. Route 24: Route 24 is a local route in the City of Temecula that operates from County Center Drive at the northern end of the City to the community of Redhawk on Highway 79 at the southern end of the City. Currently, this route has stops at County offices, the Temecula Library, shopping and retail centers on Rancho California Road and State Route Highway 79, Old Town Temecula, and Pechanga Resort. When this route is restructured in Fall 16 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 2009, it will be broken up into at least two routes that will be more streamlined to include more shopping centers on Winchester Road that extend to the French Valley area, and provide service to more schools. Route 31 & 32: Route 31 and 32 are local routes servicing mainly the Hemet and San Jacinto Valley. Route 31 also extends as far north as Banning. Since the inception of these routes, both routes have been interlined with one another to reduce cost and minimize resources. With the growth in these areas and increased traffic flow, the schedules of the two routes are no longer conducive to interlining. In Fall 2009, the interline of these routes will be removed with the addition of another bus. Route 149: Route 149 is an express route that begins in downtown Riverside and terminates at the Village at Orange, with stops at the Tyler Galleria and Grand & Main in Corona. Currently, weekend service on Route 149 ends before weekday service. In Spring 2009, an extra trip on the weekdays will be added pending continued demand. FY 2010-2011 In FY 2011, the service changes are to focus on the implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) should economic conditions allow. BRT would operate in the cities of Riverside and Corona and the unincorporated community of Home Gardens via University and Magnolia Avenues. As part of the COA and BRT strategic plan, several feeder routes will play an integral part of the success of the BRT service. To ensure the sustainability of BRT, the following feeder routes, featuring increased frequencies will be strategically phased in beginning in FY 2010. Route 10: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 55 minutes. Route 12: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 55 minutes. Route 19: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 60 minutes. Route 20: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 55 minutes. Route 22: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 60 minutes. Route 25: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 75 minutes. Route 27: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 60 minutes. Route 49: Increase frequency to 40 minutes from 50 minutes. Other routes including routes 1, 3, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18A, 29, and 149 will also play a vital role in the implementation of BRT and already meet the recommended frequencies. 17 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 Seasonal Service Changes Route 202: Route 202 is a CommuterLink service from Temecula & Murrieta to the Oceanside Transit Center. During the summer, more midday trips and weekend service will be added to attract customers, mainly students and families, to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the coast. Holiday Trolley: The Holiday Trolley is a service offered in Corona and Norco for two consecutive weekends in December and provides the community with access to various shopping venues for the holiday season. This program is operated in conjunction with the cities of Norco and Corona, and the Corona Cruiser. Festival of Lights: The Festival of Lights is a service offered to numerous communities in the service area such as Hemet, Perris, Temecula, Murrieta, Calimesa, Banning, Beaumont, and Mead Valley and allows customers the opportunity to visit and celebrate in the holiday festivities in downtown Riverside on Main Street. New Service Implementation and Evaluation Upon implementation, each route will be monitored regularly and evaluated quarterly to determine if performance targets are being met. If the route does not meet ridership goals within the first year, ridership trends will also be evaluated to predict whether ridership is likely to reach a sufficient level within two years. If financial conditions permit, the following are new routes planned within this SRTP period: Route 55: Branded as the Harveston Shuttle, Route 55 is scheduled to be implemented in Winter 2009. This local route will primarily serve the Harveston community in Temecula and will be funded by the developer, Lennar Communities. The Harveston Shuttle will operate five days a week from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm and will connect local residents to local and express routes, schools, and community facilities. Route 212: San Jacinto/Hemet to Riverside: New CommuterLink Route 212 is scheduled to be implemented in winter 2009. This route will service customers traveling from San Jacinto and Hemet to Riverside, and will be funded through FTA funds from Job Access and Reverse Commute Program and the New Freedom Program in addition to Measure A. The route would operate during peak hours with 16 trips per day and would take approximately 75 minutes one-way. Route 214: San Jacinto/Hemet to Escondido: This demonstration CommuterLink service is scheduled to begin Winter 2009. Route 214 would serve the growing number of commuters traveling to San Diego County and would connect with NCTD’s Breeze buses, Sprinter trains and MTS’s commuter routes in Escondido. The route would operate during peak hours with 16 trips per day and approximately 80 minutes one-way. Funding for this route will derive from FTA 18 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 Job Access and Reverse Commute Program (JARC) and the New Freedom Program funds in addition to Measure A. Bus Rapid Transit: A BRT Study was completed in 2004 by the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Berkeley recommending BRT service along University and Magnolia Avenues. BRT will parallel existing Route 1 but with limited stops and ITS amenities such as signal prioritization that will allow for faster travel. By means of new technology on the bus and on the street, signal prioritization will allow speedier schedules for BRT by maintaining a green light, longer, in traffic that minimizes delay during the trip. An expansion of the concept includes a study of service along the north-south corridors of Interstates 15 and 215. 19 Short Range Transit Plan • FY 2008/09- FY 2009-11 CONCLUSION This SRTP for 2009-2011 is testament to RTA’s commitment to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of its services despite financial challenges. In FY 2009 customers should expect modest route realignments, with an emphasis on improving connectivity and schedule performance. In anticipation of improved financial conditions, FY 2010 and 2011 will be a period when further service expansions are planned to meet the demand for transit services in growing communities. Whether it is through the construction of capital projects such as a transit center or through new services such as BRT, RTA will continue on its mission to provide safe, customer-oriented, and cost effective services for the years to come. 20 5WFRQWLQXHVWR 0RQWFODLU7UDQVLW&HQWHU 5W ( F R Q W L Q X HVW R (2 Q W D U L R 0 H W U ROLQ N 6 W D W L R Q WK6W WK6W &LWUXV 3DWV5DQFK5G ( ( ( ( , , 9DQ % X

Complete and submit separate State Controller Reports for general public transit and specialized service for elderly and disabled. During the review period, the Agency submitted separate information regarding general public transit and specialized service for the elderly and disabled. This information was submitted under cover of one State Controller’s Report consistent with the template and format provided by the State Controller’s Office. Brown Armstrong, RTA’s external auditor, has not encountered an inquiry about this issue for any of their public transit clients. Brown Armstrong indicated they are not familiar with reporting this information in a fashion different than has been done in the past. Conclusion: Should conditions change, adjustments will be made as necessary. 2. Coordinate with California Highway Patrol (CHP) to schedule regular terminal inspections. While the CHP’s annual inspection of RTA’s bus fleet is scheduled, the vehicles inspected are chosen at random in order to provide an element of surprise to the operator’s maintenance organization. During the review period, the CHP chose not to perform an annual inspection of the Agency in one of the years. It should be noted that the inspection conducted in the year prior to the year missed resulted in zero findings of the terminal itself nor the equipment used to maintain RTA’s fleet. Conclusion: This recommendation has been implemented. 3. Include contract operator employees in the calculation of Full- Time Equivalents (FTE). The performance audit brought this item to staff’s attention. Effective April, 2007, staff is collecting the FTE data from contract operators. This information will be reported in the future. Conclusion: This recommendation has been implemented and is ongoing. 1 Triennial performance audit for FY 2003/04 through FY 2005/06 was conducted in FY 2006/07 and completed 6/30/07. 69 TABLE 6 – PROGRESS TO IMPLEMENT TRIENNIAL PERFORMANCE AUDIT Table 6-Triennial Audit FY 2008/09 SRTP 4. Consider enhancing the Finance Policy and Procedures Manual by developing step-by- step procedural guidelines for capital grant project management. The performance audit was complimentary of the Agency’s monitoring and reporting of capital grant activities. RTA's capital grant process includes interaction with several agencies including FTA, RCTC, and WRCOG. In addition to daily management of various projects, the Agency also conducts monthly internal reviews and provides quarterly status to the Board, the Commission, and the FTA. RTA is currently in the process of preparing a Capital Grant/Project Management Policies and Procedure Manual. Upon completion, this manual will provide guidance across many departments within RTA. The manual will include process charts, procedures and sample forms. . Conclusion: This recommendation is in the process of being implemented. 5. Achieve consistency with Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) Policy in development of PIP targets. This finding was born from the RCTC policy to establish PIP targets for the succeeding FY based on current FY third quarter (Q3) year- to-date actual data. Agency staff agrees philosophically with the use of the most current data available (Q3 versus 6, 7, or 8 months), but has historically based its PIP targets on staff forecast/projection of the entire current FY. In the FY07 SRTP, staff included two (2) versions of PIP targets: one based on staff forecast for all of FY06 and one based on FY06 Q3 actual to date. While very similar, the resulting targets were not exactly the same. Throughout most of the current FY07, staff reported PIP performance against staff- generated PIP targets. RCTC requested that RTA’s PIP performance be measured against targets established by policy. Staff has conformed to this request, but will also request that this policy be revisited by the Commission. Conclusion: This recommendation has been implemented 70 TABLE 6 – PROGRESS TO IMPLEMENT TRIENNIAL PERFORMANCE AUDIT Table 6-Triennial Audit FY 2008/09 SRTP 6. Continue land use and transit coordination efforts with local jurisdictions. RTA fully intends to continue with this important aspect of the planning and delivery of safe, reliable, and cost-effective transit service to the public of western Riverside County. Conclusion: This recommendation has been implemented and is ongoing. 7. Work with RCTC to determine potential alternative funding for specific transit service. RTA will work proactively with RCTC to understand the types of funding available and the process and procedure to secure that funding to provide specific transit service. Conclusion: This recommendation has been implemented and is ongoing. 71 Table 7 -- Service Provider Performance Targets ReportFY 2007/08 Short Range Transit Plan ReviewRiverside Transit AgencyFY 2007/08 Plan FY 2007/08 TargetFY 2007/08Year to DateThrough 3rd QuarterYear to DatePerformanceScorecardData Elements7,231,939Unlinked Passenger Trips49,229,263Passenger Miles653,228.0Total Actual Vehicle Revenue Hours10,505,063.0Total Actual Vehicle Revenue Miles12,182,768.0Total Actual Vehicle Miles$49,999,135Total Operating Expenses$8,334,988Total Passenger Fare Revenue$41,664,147Net Operating ExpensesPerformance IndicatorsMandatory:1.

Fixed-Route ridership increased 3% Dial-A-Ride ridership increased 14% • Increasing ridership trends attributed to major service changes made in January 2008 which involved the enhancements to over 25 fixed-routes. • In FY 2009, ridership is anticipated to continue over 3% in FY 2009, particularly in the areas of express routes. Operating Budget ($55,574,808): • Increase of 14.1% over YTD March estimated year-end actual (excluding GASB pre- fund). Variance analysis by cost element is provided below: o Salaries – 7.5% increase due to hiring of budgeted open positions and fifteen additional coach operators. o Benefits – 9.4% increase due to increased health benefit rates and Worker’s Comp. o Services – 16.1% increase due for Consulting and Contract Services. o Materials & Supplies – 36.7% increase due to service expansion and anticipated increase in rate per therm for CNG fuel and price per gallon for unleaded fuel. Increase is also attributed to increased parts usage and postage. o Utilities – 12.3% increase due to ending of CNG Electricity credit program and addition of wireless devises for ITS and CommuterLink buses. o Insurance – 1.9% increase in insurance rates for property & other insurance premiums. o Taxes & Permits – 12.3% increase due to fuel taxes. o Advertising & Promotion – 2.4% increase. o Dues & Subscriptions – 34.8% increase for professional memberships dues. o Training – 40.6% increase. o Miscellaneous – 10.3% increase. o Purchased Transportation – 18.4% increase attributed to change in Fixed Route contractor, increased fuel costs and DAR demand. Capital Budget ($7,839,411): • RTA’s 3-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is updated to reflect the current economic outlook and service needs with a focus on items which are mandatory to support our current service profile. FY 2009 CIP projects are funded primarily with 75 State Transit Assistance (STA), Federal Section 5309 earmarks, and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Funds (TUMF). A summary by project element for FY 2009 is shown below: o Revenue Vehicle Acquisition – $2.0 million for DAR and contracted fixed route replacements & expansion vehicles. o Revenue Vehicle Upgrade - $0.3 million for refurbishment of 5 CNG Trolleys. o Non-Revenue Vehicle Acquisition - $0.1 million for support vehicles. o Maintenance - $1.5 million for maintenance spares and tire lease. o Buildings, Land, & Facilities Upgrades - $1.4 million for transit centers & facility improvements at the Riverside & Hemet facilities. Funding for transit centers comes from discretionary Federal Section 5309 & TUMF. Federal Section 5309 funding is the direct result of the successful lobbying efforts of the RTA board of directors. o Revenue Vehicle Systems & Equipment - $0.1 million for Automated Traveler Information System (ATIS). o Communication & Information Systems - $0.4 million replacement of network support systems. o Debt Service - $2.0 million for annual Certificate of Participation (COP) payment of principal & interest. Proposed Service Changes (over FY 2008): Service changes in FY 2009 will focus on providing better connectivity and schedule performance by analyzing running times and improving frequencies and headways. Major service changes will include the commencement of the Harveston Shuttle (Route 55) and two new CommuterLinks (Routes 212 and 214) to start in winter 2009. 76 Appendix a RTA Directly Operated Fixed-Route Maps Riverside Downtown TerminalGalleria at TylerUniversity of CaliforniaRiversideMarketplace Metrolink StationCalifornia Baptist UniversityRiverside PlazaRiverside Community CollegeJohn W.

Machine UP Union Pacific Railroad VCTC Ventura County Transportation Commission EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) commuter rail program consists of planning, programming, advocacy and implementation elements. The Commuter Rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP), FY2008/09-2010/11 incorporates a variety of activities which support these elements. Governing Authority With the passage of Measure A in 1988, $100 million was identified and committed to the development and implementation of a commuter rail system to serve Riverside County residents. The Commission participates in the ongoing funding and governance of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), known as “Metrolink.” SCRRA is a Joint Powers Authority consisting of RCTC, the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), and the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC). RCTC holds two voting positions on SCRRA’s eleven member Board. RCTC staff serve on the five-county Technical Advisory Committee which negotiates service and funding levels based upon the counties’ established priorities, and provides technical assistance, coordination between various SCRRA and RCTC departments, and linkages to local communities. FY2008/09 Proposed Budget Activity The Commuter Rail SRTP, FY2008/09-2010/11 reflects the Commission’s commitment to the commuter rail goals in the FY2008/09 RCTC Budget: • Improve utilization and increase efficiency of commuter rail lines serving Riverside County; • Extend commuter rail service to Moreno Valley and Perris via the San Jacinto Branch Line; and • Maximize opportunities for public use of rail-related investments. Specific highlights of the FY2008/09 Budget include: • Implementation of a new fare structure with an average 5.5% fare increase; • Preliminary engineering and environmental clearance of the Perris Valley Line (Riverside - Moreno Valley – Perris) Metrolink extension project; • A 3.00% increase in operating subsidy since last year’s SRTP. This constitutes a substantial reduction in the rate of increase over last fiscal year. This is partially attributed to the affects of the revised cost allocation formula even in light of escalations in fuel costs, property liability insurance costs, and maintenance of way costs. INTRODUCTION Service Area Today, five of the 55 Metrolink stations are located in western Riverside County. These five stations, Riverside-Downtown, Pedley, La Sierra, West Corona, and North Main Corona, are owned and maintained by RCTC. All Metrolink trains and stations are accessible to persons with disabilities. Services The SCRRA operates seven commuter rail lines. Three routes, the Riverside, Inland Empire-Orange County (IEOC), and 91 Lines, directly serve western Riverside County, with connecting service available to destinations on the other four lines. Fare Structure Since July 2005, Metrolink ticket prices are distance-based and calculated on the shortest driving miles between stations. Each station combination is uniquely priced, based on how many driving miles it is from one station to the other. The distance charge is capped at 80 miles. This pricing program offers a fair and equitable pricing policy. Over time, Metrolink customers traveling the same distances will pay the same price, and short trips will cost less than longer trips. This year, the system-wide average RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 2 fare increase is 5.5%. The combination of a 5.5% system-wide average fare increase and fare restructuring, results in varying impacts to customer’s ticket prices, however, no increase shall exceed more than 10%. Because of the incremental approach to restructuring, in years where there is no system-wide average fare increase, some station-pair ticket prices will nevertheless increase and some prices will decrease. The Metrolink ticket price consists of three elements: a base boarding charge, an additional increment related to the number of miles traveled, and finally a modest increment to permit Metrolink passengers to transfer without additional cost to connecting transit services. A ride from Downtown Riverside to Los Angeles Union Station is a 59 mile one- way trip; a ride from Riverside to Irvine is a 40 mile trip. Ticket Types There are six types of regular Metrolink tickets. One Way Tickets One-way tickets are valid for one trip only, defined as continuous travel away from the origin station to the destination station specified on the ticket. One- way trips must be completed within three hours after purchase of ticket on the day of purchase- the expiration time and date is displayed on the ticket. Types of One Way Tickets sold: Adult Weekday, Weekend, Senior/Disabled, Youth Weekday, and Youth Weekend. Round Trip Tickets Weekday: Monday – Friday Weekend: Saturdays & Sundays Adult Fare: Ages 19 to 64 Weekend Fare: 25% off Weekday Fare Youth Fare: Ages 6 to 18; 50% off Adult Fare on one-way/round-trip tickets purchased and used during off-peak hours Children: One child, age 5 or under, rides free with an adult using a valid ticket Elderly: Age 65 and over with valid driver’s license or photo ID with date of birth; 50% off regular adult fare at all times Disabled: 50% off regular adult fare at all times with proper ID School Groups: Discount tickets for ages 6 to 18 in school or youth groups; restricted for non-rush hour travel only Group Discount: Discount tickets for groups of 15 or more persons, not to exceed 50 December Pass: 25% discount for a monthly pass in December only. Round Trip tickets are valid for two trips only, from and to the origin station and the destination station marked on the ticket. The first leg of a round trip ticket is valid for three hours from purchase. The return ticket is valid for travel anytime on the same day as the first leg of the trip. Types of Round Trip Tickets sold: Adult Weekday, Adult Weekend, Senior/Disabled, Youth Weekday, and Youth Weekend. Ten Trip Tickets Ten Trip Tickets are valid for ten one- way trips within 90 days of purchase for travel between the origin station RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 3 and the destination station printed on the ticket. The Ten Trip ticket is valid until the expiration date printed on the ticket and must be validated before each boarding. The trip must be completed within three hours of validation. Multiple riders may use the ten-trip ticket, provided there is one validation for each person who uses the ticket. Types of Ten Trip Tickets sold: Adult and Senior/Disabled (sold through the TVMs, the mail, and sales outlets) and Student (sold only to participating schools through Metrolink’s administrative office). Monthly Pass Monthly Passes are valid for unlimited travel between the origin station and destination station printed on the pass during the calendar month. Types of monthly passes: Adult, Senior/Disabled, and Student (sold only to participating schools through Metrolink’s administrative office). Group Tickets and Vouchers Group Tickets are sold through Metrolink administrative offices on a reservation basis for non-rush hour and weekend trains. Metrolink distributes either tickets or vouchers to the group traveling. Tickets/vouchers are valid for travel on the day printed on the ticket/voucher only, between the specified origin and destination stations. School Group Tickets School group tickets are available by reservation through the Metrolink administrative office. The tickets are provided to the school group in voucher form, indicating the boarding and alighting stations, the date, time and specific trains for the school group. Fare Increase Since Metrolink began operations in 1992, fares have increased as indicated in the following chart: 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008/09 4% 0% 4% 0% 5% 0% 4% 4.5% 5.5% 3.5% 5.5% Historically, these fare increases have been across-the-board with all ticket types incurring the same price increase. For FY 2008/09 the fares are set to increase 5.5% on average. In addition to adjusting fares in 2004 to keep pace with inflation, member agencies, including RCTC, also sought a rationalization of the fares charged for travel between the existing Metrolink zones. Over the years unusual anomalies evolved where stations were placed into zones not necessarily based upon mileage issues but on other local issues. Until recently, the result was over 50% of Metrolink stations were not in correct zones (including the Riverside- RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 4 Downtown, Pedley, and North Main Corona Stations). Some passengers that traveled greater actual distances than others paid less because of these anomalies. As an example, trips to and from West Corona and North Main Corona were priced exactly the same. However, with the new mileage based system, a monthly pass from North Main Corona to Union Station is now priced $3.25 more than one from West Corona to Union Station. As a result, the fare restructuring results in passengers being charged based upon the highway driving mileage between stations. Zone fares were eliminated in July 2005. The restructuring has been spread over 10 years to minimize financial impacts on individual riders whose particular trip may have been artificially kept low. Population Served Whether traveling to work, school, or one of Southern California’s great recreation destinations, Metrolink trains provide a viable alternative to driving alone. Every day, thousands of Southern California residents park their cars and choose Metrolink to commute. The average Metrolink commute from Riverside County is 37 miles. Metrolink trains are also popular with schools throughout the region both taking students to classes and for field trips. Number of Fleet Vehicles The Metrolink fleet is composed of 39 in service locomotives and 155 commuter rail cars. One locomotive and 16 passenger cars have been leased, the remaining equipment within the fleet is owned by SCRRA. Facilities In planning for a successful commuter rail program in Western Riverside County, RCTC has acquired properties for current and future passenger rail service. Commuter Rail Station Management Unlike the other SCRRA county agencies, the Commission owns and operates the five commuter rail stations serving Riverside County: • Riverside-Downtown • Pedley • Riverside-La Sierra • North Main Corona; and • West Corona Station operation and maintenance costs are included in the rail program budget with services coordinated by the Commission’s Property Administrator. Parking is currently free at the stations. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 5 The station operating and maintenance FY08/09 budget includes security, grounds maintenance, cleaning, utilities, repairs, and other rail station maintenance costs. The average budget per station is $367,760, funded by Western Riverside County Rail Local Transportation Funds (LTF). FY 2008/09 RCTC Station Budget: $1,838,800 Security Guards 55% Repairs 5% Grounds Maintenance 10%Station Cleaning 6% Utilities 10% Other (Maintenance, Supplies, etc.) 14% San Jacinto Branch Line (SJBL) Measure A provided for Riverside County’s participation in the creation of a regional commuter rail system. Though the primary goal was service from Riverside to Los Angeles and Orange counties, the Measure A map included a RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 6 possible internal element along Santa Fe’s San Jacinto Branch Line. The SJBL corridor extends 38.3 miles between Highgrove and Hemet within Riverside County. The alignment roughly follows the Interstate 215 to Perris where it veers east, parallel to State Route 74 to Hemet and San Jacinto. As part of the regional acquisition of Burlington Northern-Santa Fe (BNSF) properties and use rights, RCTC purchased the 38-mile SJBL and adjacent properties in 1993 for $26 million using Western County Rail Measure A and state rail bonds (Prop 108 of 1990). BNSF retained exclusive freight operating rights, serving its customers along the line and will continue to maintain the right-of- way until such time as passenger service is implemented. Planning is currently underway for the Initial Operating Segment (IOS) of the SJBL, the Perris Valley Line. This Line would provide a connection from Moreno Valley, March Air Reserve Base, and Perris to mainline rail services in downtown Riverside. (See New Service Implementation & Evaluation for more detail.) RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 7 SERVICE CHARACTERISTICSSERVICE CHARACTERISTICS Metrolink regularly operates Monday through Friday. Reduced frequency weekend service operates on the San Bernardino Lines on Saturdays and Sundays with extensions to the Riverside-Downtown Station. Weekend service began on the IEOC line in July 2006. There is limited service on New Year’s Day for the Rose Parade on the San Bernardino and Orange County Lines. Trains do not normally operate on the following major holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Christmas Day. Riverside Line Riverside Line Line Opening: June 1993 Route miles: 59.1 Avg Trip Length (miles): 36.3 Trains Operated/Day: 12.0 Avg FY07/08 Weekday Ridership: 5,137 FY08/09 Budget Operating Subsidy/Passenger Mile: $0.14 Farebox Recovery: 53.5% Revenue Recovery (MOW/ROW): 55.5% Current Stations Served Riverside-Downtown 4066 Vine Street Pedley 6001 Pedley Road East Ontario 3330 E Francis St Industry 600 S Brea Canyon Rd Montebello/Commerce 2000 Flotilla St Downtown-Pomona 101 N Main Street LA Union Station 800 N Alameda St (Riverside to Los Angeles) This line extends 59.1 miles between the city of Riverside and the Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) along the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad alignment. The route roughly follows the Pomona Freeway corridor (SR60) through the cities and communities of Pedley, Mira Loma, Ontario, Pomona, Walnut, Industry, La Puente, Montebello, and Commerce. Existing stations include Riverside-Downtown, Pedley, East Ontario, Downtown Pomona, Industry, Montebello, and LAUS. RCTC, SANBAG, and the LACMTA jointly fund the Line. Currently, five peak-period round-trips and one off-peak round-trip operate Monday through Friday. Daily peak-period a.m. boardings have averaged 2,465 during March 2008. Approximately 25.6% of the morning boardings occur at Riverside County’s two stations on this line, Riverside-Downtown and Pedley.1 The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) fixed routes and Amtrak provide connecting transit service in Riverside County. The scheduled peak-direction trip time between downtown Riverside and LAUS varies between 83 and 87 minutes, including dwell time at intermediate stations. Inland Empire-Orange County (IEOC) Line (San Bernardino/Riverside to Irvine/San Juan Capistrano/Oceanside) This line extends 70.9 miles between the City of San Bernardino, in San Bernardino County, and Irvine and San Juan Capistrano, in Orange County, with limited extensions in Oceanside. The alignment roughly follows the Riverside 1 Source: AM Peak-Period (Peak Direction) Boardings, February 2008 RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 8 Freeway (SR91) along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) San Bernardino Subdivision in Riverside and Orange County. This commuter rail service to Orange County provides a transportation alternative in one of the busiest corridors in Southern California. The Line is a jointly funded project of the RCTC, SANBAG, and OCTA. When the service began in October 1995, it was the first suburb-to-suburb commuter rail line in the country. One station in San Bernardino County, four stations within Riverside County, eight within Orange County, and one station in San Diego County now serve the line.

Vending machines stocked with cold beverages are available at all stations. Also available to Metrolink passengers are bike lockers, designated parking for motorcycles and carpools. Amenities are also available onboard the train. All train cars are equipped with restrooms, and some of the newer cars contain hook-ups for laptop computers. Plans are underway to provide state-of-the-art message signs at all stations that will alert passengers of train arrivals and delays. The Electronic Passenger Information System (EPIS) is expected to be operational in late 2010. Metrolink has developed a website for www.metrolinktrains.com. This site provides passengers with enhanced features allowing for greater content functionality. Improvements include regular service updates on the homepage, improved content management functions, enhanced usability and a more consistent look and feel with features expected by our increasingly web savvy passengers. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 12 SERVICE RELATED ISSUES The Commission’s goal in participating in a regional commuter rail system is to provide useful transportation alternatives to its residents. To a large degree this goal has already achieved great results. Each morning over 3,060 residents board one of 11 Metrolink trains headed for jobs in Orange and Los Angeles counties. These rail commuters also contribute to reduction in freeway traffic, removing more than 1.5 lanes of peak hour traffic each morning and each afternoon. Notwithstanding this success, a commuter rail service is unlike most of the projects funded by the Commission. The complete benefits of the project are not fully realized upon completion of construction or initial implementation of service. The commuter rail service must increase frequency as the demand increases over time. This increase in service is constrained due to the availability of rail vehicles, capacity on the railroad, and available funding. Currently, not all of the Riverside County routes are at optimal service levels. Two of the three Metrolink lines do not even offer minimum basic coverage during peak travel times. The IEOC and the 91 Line do not yet provide half- hourly headways and thus their attractiveness to residents and, ultimately, their ridership and revenue performance are handicapped. The major issues, which continue to be a focus of RCTC attention for the SRTP period FY2008/09–2010/11, include the following: • Increased Train Service on the IEOC and 91 Line • Train Equipment to Address Overcrowding • Strategic Assessment and Operating Cost Allocation Formula; and • RCTC Station Rehabilitation and Preventative Maintenance Plan. Each of these issues are discussed in more detail below. Increased Service Levels on the IEOC and 91 Lines Generally speaking commuter rail ridership is maximized when a full range of train schedules are available to its users. The more limited the service the less attractive it is to potential users. In concrete terms a minimum level of acceptable service during peak hours is service arriving at key work destination stations every half hour from the beginning of the peak-period until the end. This translates roughly into 5 peak-period trains in the morning and 5 in the evening, supplemented by at least one midday train in both directions. The IEOC currently has 4 peak-period trains with an hour gap between the 3rd and 4th trains. The 91 Line has 2 peak-period trains, separated by an hour. It is clear from this analysis that, despite the relative success of both lines, both are RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 13 still deficient in terms of providing a minimally adequate coverage during the peak periods. By way of comparison, the San Bernardino Line, which has the highest ridership systemwide, provides twenty-minute headways during peak- periods. RCTC is not the sole source of funding of these two services. RCTC partners with SANBAG and OCTA on the IEOC and with OCTA and LACMTA on the 91 Line. In order to add service, RCTC requires the financial commitment from the relevant agencies. RCTC recently participated in the development of Metrolink’s 30-year Strategic Assessment project. This plan defines future service levels and the funding requirements for them. This plan was presented to the Commission in last year and formally adopted. Currently, SCRRA lacks the equipment required to add the needed 5th IEOC a.m. peak-period round trip or any additional service on the 91 Line. Based upon the current financial performance of the two lines, the added revenue from new service will likely be sufficient to offset the direct train operating costs. Thus the primary obstacle to early implementation of new service is the availability of equipment. When the equipment procurement for new cars is complete in 2008- 09, the principal obstacle to needed additional service will be eliminated. Although the equipment has not been assigned to particular routes at this time, the 91 and IEOC lines demonstrate the greatest need for expansion. Train Equipment to Address Overcrowding Metrolink’s continued ridership growth and popularity puts a strain on equipment and leads to overcrowding on some peak trains. To address this, Metrolink is working on a number of alternatives to meet demand. Metrolink operates 39 in- service locomotives and 153 commuter rail cars. In addition, Metrolink has two older locomotives now overhauled for commuter use, resulting in 41 operational locomotives. In 2004, Metrolink leased 12 rail cars and 1 locomotive from Sounder Rail in Seattle, to ease overcrowding. In 2006, Metrolink awarded a contract to Rotem for 87 new rail cars. Delivery of this new equipment is expected in December, 2008. To make matters worse, train incidents over the past few years have damaged several cars beyond repair, requiring the lease of an additional 4 cars from the Altamont Corridor Express. Strategic Assessment and Operating Cost Allocation Formula In 2004, Metrolink began a Strategic Assessment process to develop a long-term growth plan for the year 2010, 2020 and 2030 horizons. The key element of the plan is a very detailed ridership forecast to determine demand and increased service levels. From the service level projections, a comprehensive analysis of railroad capacity and equipment needs has been developed. This project has provided a definitive list of needed capital projects and prioritized them in sequence order to provide for continuing growth of the system. There is also a RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 14 comprehensive cost analysis to forecast increases in operational and capital costs. With the completion of the Strategic Assessment in December, 2006, the process for determining the cost allocation came into effect in FY 08. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 15 RCTC Station Rehabilitation and Preventative Maintenance Plan The Commission fully funds and maintains all of the commuter rail stations in Riverside County, which is unique among the Metrolink member agencies. Since Metrolink service began along the Riverside Line in 1993, the Commission has been maintaining the Riverside Downtown and Pedley stations. When the Inland Empire Orange County Line began in 1995, the La Sierra and West Corona stations were added. Then due to increasing demand, the North Main Corona station was added in 2002. Over the years, the stations have begun to show their age and require a comprehensive preventative maintenance and rehabilitation plan. Today, the Commission also operates in an environment where there is an emphasis to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through greater energy efficiency. The development of a “Green” Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan provides an opportunity to incorporate these rehabilitation needs. The Commission has always taken pride in the commuter rail stations and now is the time to reinvest in them and preserve the Commission’s assets. This station rehabilitation plan was developed through cooperation with Bechtel and Commission staff. The plan addresses upgrades to improve environmental sustainability, safety, ease of access, and overall appearance. The Commission has been a leader in its commitment to the environment and was the first Metrolink station to provide for a 133-kilowatt Photovoltaic Generating Station in partnership with Riverside Public Utilities at the La Sierra station. In pursuing the Commission’s goal of environmental stewardship, the rail stations provide a unique opportunity to make immediate environmental improvements. The use of "green technologies" will be evaluated and implemented in the rehabilitation program. Water damage due to overspray from above-ground spray landscape irrigation systems is the cause of a large portion of the renovation work. Landscape renovations will be designed to minimize the use of water through plant selection and automated drip irrigation technology. A number of electrical power and lighting issues have been identified. Prior to replacing electrical components, consideration will be given to alternatives that will reduce energy consumption. In addition, staff intends to use green/environmentally friendly building products during the rehabilitation projects. Some examples include: biodegradable cleaning products, recycled building products, and environmental friendly paint products. One of the other key sustainability elements is to encourage Metrolink and transit use by providing pedestrian friendly stations with clean and open walkways. In addition to “greening” the stations, there will also be extensive cleaning. Most of the stations will require painting to prevent corrosion as well as improve the overall appearance. There are plans for repairs and reconditioning of the station fencing and passenger platforms. These upgrades will also enhance safety. A comprehensive review and replacement of station signs will create clear and easy RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 16 directions for both regular and new riders. Many of the parking lots will be resurfaced to prevent further deterioration and extend the useful life of the existing asphalt. The “Green” Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan will be an ongoing effort that will be updated on a regular basis. For the initial two-year time period, a list of projects has been identified to resolve the many outstanding issues. The cost estimate for the first two years ranges from $2.38 million to $2.75 million. Since it is such an extensive project, the implementation strategy is to group related projects and have the work bid as one collective package between all five stations. This will provide a cost savings by achieving an economy of scale. The categories identified include irrigation and system landscaping, electrical and lighting, signage, painting, and asphalt. Due to the complexity of overseeing the number of concurrent projects, staff will utilize the assistance of Bechtel to provide program management and oversight. The estimated management costs for this program are projected at $379,000 for the first year and $398,000 for the second year. The project start date will begin with the FY 2008/09 budget year on July 1, 2008. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 17 REGIONAL SERVICES AND ADJACENT TRANSIT SYSTEMS Feeder services to stations are vital to the success of commuter rail in Western Riverside County. Coordination and consultation with transit providers and local agencies is an ongoing process. Connecting transit to stations in Western Riverside County is provided by RTA, Omnitrans, Corona Dial-A-Ride, and the Corona Cruiser. Once again, RTA, RCTC, and Metrolink continued to work together to increase awareness of the RTA bus connections at the RCTC Metrolink stations. Ads regularly appear in the RTA Ride Guide promoting free RTA transfers from Metrolink stations and the Ride Guide includes the five Metrolink Stations in its Route Directory Listing. Additionally, Metrolink occasionally helps promote the RTA CommuterLink service in its monthly on-board newsletter and in a coordinated flyer. In addition to its fixed routes, RTA developed CommuterLink as a contracted service to address the needs of commuters. This express service provides transit to and from Riverside Metrolink stations and transit centers during peak commuting periods. The aim of the program is to provide a viable transit alternative for commuters, helping mitigate congestion and pollution. Developed by the City of Corona, the Corona Cruiser runs on a fixed route schedule but does offer some route deviation, with advance reservation. Buses run Monday through Sunday and serve most Metrolink trains at the North Main Corona Station as well as stops throughout Corona. In 2003, RCTC negotiated a master agreement with SCRRA covering all connecting transit services at Riverside County stations. Under the agreement, SCRRA agreed to reimburse connecting carriers up to $2 per rider for all arriving and departing Metrolink passengers using the connecting services. With the agreement, Metrolink ticket holders can ride transit for free as they travel to and from a station. Feeder buses and transit services are also critically important at the destination end. For the IEOC route, dedicated OCTA shuttle buses meet all peak-period trains at Anaheim Canyon, Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin, and Irvine. Additional OCTA buses meet trains at all these stations as well as Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente. In Los Angeles, commuters can choose from any of the 18 EZ Pass operators for free connections in both directions with a valid Metrolink ticket. These services include all of the Metro rail lines (Red, Blue, Green, and Gold), all Metro Rapid and Local buses, the City of Los Angeles DART buses, and a number of Municipal Operators. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 18 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Public participation regarding service levels is largely garnered through the bi- annual on-board survey. Public hearings are held prior to any service changes. Daily receipt of feedback from the public is sought through Metrolink’s 1-800- 371-LINK (5465) and website www.metrolinktrains.com. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 19 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Since the first three lines opened in October 1992, the system has experienced tremendous growth with operating levels and ridership greatly exceeding initial projections. Forecasts for the coming fiscal year show the system’s average daily ridership will have increased to 43,018, an increase of 7.7% from the current fiscal year budget. RCTC will use the following performance indicators under the PIP Program to measure the effectiveness of the Riverside, IEOC, and 91 Lines: Category Goal FY 08/09 Targets Farebox Recovery Ratio 40% or higher 40% Operating Cost per Revenue Hour CPI increase $605.05 Unlinked Passenger Trips Min 2% Annual Growth 2,987,138 Subsidy Per Passenger Mile $0.20 or less 0.17 – 0.23 Passenger Miles per Rev Car Mile 30 or more 30 Riverside Line Indicator FY06/07 Audited FY07/08 Budget FY08/09 Proposed Unlinked Passenger Trips 1,199,883 1,174,127 1,259,208 Subsidy/Passenger Mile $0.16 $0.16 $0.14 Farebox Recovery Ratio 46.5% 46.5% 53.5% Operating Expense/Passenger Mile $0.31 $0.31 $0.32 Operating Subsidy/Passenger $6.06 $6.06 $5.18 Operating Expense/Train Mile $73.23 $73.23 $74.64 Revenue Recovery 50.0% 50.0% 55.5% Passenger Miles per Revenue Car Mile (Assumes 5 car set) 47.71 47.71 49.07 IEOC Line (exempt) Indicator FY06/07 Audited FY07/08 Budget FY08/09 Proposed Unlinked Passenger Trips 1,135,104 1,244,630 1,294,881 Subsidy/Passenger Mile $0.24 $0.24 $0.28 Farebox Recovery Ratio 39.0% 42.6% 37.3% Operating Expense/Passenger Mile $0.40 $0.41 $0.46 Operating Subsidy/Passenger $7.76 $7.53 $8.74 Operating Expense/Train Mile $41.43 $44.14 $48.83 Revenue Recovery 42.6% 45.8% 49.8% Passenger Miles per Revenue Car Mile (Assumes 4 car set) 25.89 28.21 28.02 RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 20 91 Line Indicator FY06/07 Audited FY07/08 Budget FY08/09 Proposed Unlinked Passenger Trips 539,499 577,632 589,185 Subsidy/Passenger Mile $0.10 $0.21 $0.19 Farebox Recovery Ratio 61.6% 45.5% 51.0% Operating Expense/Passenger Mile $0.23 $0.38 $0.40 Operating Subsidy/Passenger $3.67 $7.30 $6.77 Operating Expense/Train Mile $36.67 $54.74 $57.63 Revenue Recovery 63.6% 47.2% 52.0% Passenger Miles per Revenue Car Mile (Assumes 4 car set) 33.81 36.30 36.88 RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 21 NEW SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION The FY2008/09 Capital and Operating Plan reflects the efficiencies implemented over Metrolink’s first fifteen years. Proposed service maximizes the use of existing rolling stock and 16 leased cars to relieve overcrowding. The FY2008/09 proposed budget is under review by all of the member agencies and concurrence is anticipated by June 2008. Riverside Line Service Level Changes No changes in regular weekday service. IEOC Line Service Level Changes There will be no change in the year round regular weekend service which began on July 15, 2006. The service consists of two round trips from San Bernardino to Oceanside departing in the morning and returning in the afternoon on both Saturday and Sunday. In addition, on Saturdays there is one round trip departing Oceanside in the morning arriving in Riverside and returning in the afternoon. 91 Line Service Level Changes No changes in regular weekday service.

Working with Congress, RCTC was successful in having the SJBL identified in the Federal Transportation Efficiency Act for the Twenty-First Century (TEA-21) as an eligible FTA New Start rail project. In 1998, Congress appropriated $500,000 to the SJBL. These funds have since been drawn down to conduct an Alternatives Analysis, “The San Jacinto Branch Line/I-215 Corridor Study.” RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 22 Through prior action, the Commission has allocated $20 million for the implementation of passenger rail service between Riverside and Perris on the SJBL. In June 2003, the Commission re-adopted the Locally Preferred Alternative as an IOS of the SJBL, the Perris Valley Line (Riverside-Moreno Valley-Perris) Metrolink extension of the 91 Line. This extension will consist of three peak-period round trips supplemented by a midday round trip. All trains will operate from Perris to Los Angeles via Riverside. The estimated cost to completely re-build the Branch Line, construct new stations and connection track is $168 Million for a start up of service by 2011. Staff is aggressively seeking additional federal, state, and private sources to fund this project. RCTC has received approval from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to initiate project development. This phase of the project will be funded 100% by funds available to RCTC. At the conclusion of final design RCTC will be seeking a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) from FTA to provide up to 50% of the total cost of the project. RCTC has identified sufficient local funds for its share of the project. The FY2008/09 capital activities associated with this project, estimated at $23,174,800, include initiation of preliminary engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and completion of the environmental assessment. Funding for additional rail capital projects for the SRTP period are outlined in Table 4 of this document. RCTC COMMUTER RAIL SRTP FY2008/09-2010/11 23 REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS SCRRA is responsible for the regulatory and compliance requirements governing the use of federal and state funds in accordance with ADA and Title VI. For FY08/09, RCTC does not anticipate using State Transit Assistance Funds (STA) to fund operating expenses. STA is currently programmed as local match to rail capital projects.

These recommendations are based upon tolerating only the most minimal & manageable risk of failure. The total proposed FY09 SCRRA Rehab/Renovation budget is $43.5 million with RCTC’s share totaling $1,557,000.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: In June 2003, the Commission re-adopted the Locally Preferred Alternative as an extension of Metrolink service from Riverside to Perris. Other than $500,000 in surface transportation funds designated for engineering, this project cost is for Construction. Start up of the service is projected for 2011.

Currently, only freight service operates on the line, however, plans are underway to begin passenger rail service. For a portion of the route, the rail corridor parallels the gateways into residential neighborhoods and as a result, the open direct field corridor is an eyesore. In essence, the PVL Metrolink extension project is analogous to a new neighbor with a brown yard. While stimulating curiosity, it is not likely to stimulate use. In order to address this problem and be a good neighbor within the affected communities, the Greenway Corridor project will include construction of aesthetic landscaping and other scenic improvements along three portions of the 20 mile PVL corridor. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: In June 2003, the Commission re-adopted the Locally Preferred Alternative as an extension of Metrolink service from Riverside to Perris. This project cost is for Engineering and Construction. Start up of the service is projected for 2011. PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES (REQUESTED): Measure A $1,245,000 Total $1,245,000 Table 4A – Capital Project Justification PROJECT NUMBER: FY 09 - 4 PROJECT NAME: RCTC Station Rehabilitation and Renovation Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Commission fully funds and maintains all of the commuter rail stations in Riverside County, which is unique among the Metrolink member agencies. Over the years, the stations have begun to show their age and require a comprehensive preventative maintenance and rehabilitation plan. Today, the Commission also operates in an environment where there is an emphasis to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through greater energy efficiency. The development of a “Green” Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan provides an opportunity to incorporate these rehabilitation needs. For the initial two-year time period, a list of projects has been identified to resolve the many outstanding issues. The cost estimate for the first two years ranges from $2.38 million to $2.75 million. Since it is such an extensive project, the implementation strategy is to group related projects and have the work bid as one collective package between all five stations. The project start date will begin with the FY 2008/09 budget year on July 1, 2008. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Commission approved on April 9, 2008. PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES (REQUESTED): STA $379,000 Total $379,000 PRIOR YEAR PROJECTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE WITH UNEXPENDED BALANCE – OR PROJECTS APPROVED BUT NOT YET ORDERED – INCLUDE FTA GRANT NUMBER AND RCTC’S CAPITAL GRANT NUMBER FTA Grant # RCTC Grant #Description Unexpended balance PTMISEA (Prop 1B) $2,477,714 Table 4A – Capital Project Justification PROJECT NUMBER: FY 09 - 5 PROJECT NAME: Capital Improvement Program PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project provides for capital improvements at the stations, including shelters, kiosks, parking lot resurfacing, lighting improvements, etc. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The RCTC owned Metrolink stations are an element of pride within the communities and a fundamental aspect to the system. The clean, safe, and well maintained stations provide the first impression for users of the Metrolink system. Therefore, it is important to keep them in good condition to attract new riders and retain those already taking the trains. Most of the RCTC stations are over 10 years old and are showing signs of wear. The Station Capital Improvement Program provides the funding needed to complete the variety of projects needed to keep the stations safe and in a state of good repair. PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES (REQUESTED): STA $500,000 Total $500,000 Table 4A – Capital Project Justification PROJECT NUMBER: FY 09 - 6 PROJECT NAME: Keller Yard Track Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION: SCRRA currently has an order of 107 rail cars underway. Keller Street Yard is a Metrolink rolling stock storage yard on 2.15 acres adjacent to Los Angeles Union Station. Improvements include approximately 3000' of track and related yard improvements. The yard will be paved, have storm drain connections, toilet dumps, drip pans and compressed air. Storage capacity is approximately 2500' on four tracks. The Keller Street property was a small railroad freight yard and public freight unloading track until the late 1980s. The property is owned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) - one of the member agencies of SCRRA. MTA provided the property as part of their contribution to the project. The property is surrounded on the east side by SCRRA's River Subdivision main tracks and on the west side by the City of Los Angeles Piper Technical Center, an industrial land use. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The facility will be used to store trains that have already been maintained either in Los Angeles or at the Inland Maintenance Facility. The trains would be kept at the Los Angeles facility during the midday period until needed for the afternoon peak service and avoid the current deadhead round trip to the Central Maintenance Facility, 3.5 miles from Los Angeles Union Station. The facility will also be used for acceptance testing of SCRRA's upcoming order of 107 rail cars. The additional $6.5 million provided by Prop 1B PTMISEA funds from MTA, OCTA, SANBAG and VCTC and the RCTC reconciliation funds will be awarded in September 2008 along with the base project and will allow for the option included as Phase 2, which consists of construction of two additional layover tracks with toilet dumping facility, water and lighting system, air and power. It will also include completion of two lead tracks, reconfiguration of CP San Diego Junction and railroad signal modification for dispatcher controlled movement of trains from and to the layover facility. This project provides for capital improvements at the stations, including shelters, kiosks, parking lot resurfacing, lighting improvements, etc. PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES (REQUESTED): STA $840,004 Total $840,004 Table 4A – Capital Project Justification PROJECT NUMBER: FY 09 - 7 PROJECT NAME: East Junction Retaining Wall PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a Tie-Back Wall at the Box Springs Over Head for the continuation of the Rail Maintenance Road. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This retaining wall is essential as part of the intersection of the Perris Valley Line and East Junction.

Over the years the stations have begun to show their age and require a comprehensive preventative maintenance and rehabilitation plan. Today, the Commission also operates in an environment where there is an emphasis to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through greater energy efficiency. The development of a “Green” Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan provides an opportunity to incorporate these rehabilitation needs. The “Green” Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan will be an ongoing effort that will be updated on a regular basis. For the initial two-year time period, a list of projects has been identified to resolve the many outstanding issues. The cost estimate for the first two years ranges from $2.38 million to $2.75 million. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Received Commission approval on April 9, 2008.

The City of Riverside offers these services within the 85.6 service area miles of the City of Riverside. Riverside Special Transportation, also known as Riverside Special Services (RSS), serves as the umbrella for ADA complementary service to RTA’s fixed-route system. RSS provides not only dial-a-ride service, but also provides subscription service, which allows unlimited rides per month. The current rate for the City of Riverside Passenger fare is $2.00 per passenger for a one way trip. Clients may also purchase punch cards for $40.00, which allows the client 20 one way trips. Subscription service is $100.00 per month and is included in the farebox recovery. These fares will allow the city to meet and/or exceed the mandated farebox recovery requirement for the City of Riverside, which is 10% of total operating costs. The Transportation Development Act Funds that fund the Special Transit Program are administered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). The population of the City in 2005 was 300,351 residents. Annual ridership is estimated at more than 145,000. The 2000 census states that senior population for the city is approximately 11.40%. RSS operates a fleet of 25 paratransit alternative fuel (compressed natural gas and propane) medium dial-a-ride vehicles; Twenty-one (21) paratransit vehicles typically meet daily ridership demands. Inventory allows for a 16 percent margin for maintenance and mechanical breakdowns. The vehicle inventory is shown in Table 1. RSS has ordered 8 replacement vehicles to be delivered in May 2008. These vehicles were budgeted in FY 2006/07 and will replace existing vehicles that exceed 100,000 miles and/or that require frequent repairs. All vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts and 12 have video surveillance cameras to give drivers and riders the newest technology to improve safety. All vehicles purchased in the future will have video surveillance cameras installed. The City provides office space for administrative staff and provides a training center, dispatching facilities, maintenance facility, and vehicle storage at its corporation yard at 8095 Lincoln Ave., Riverside, CA 92504. The financial and accounting services are provided by the City’s Finance Department located at 3900 Main St., Riverside, CA 92501. The Community Services Superintendent manages the Special Transit program, which is operated out of the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. The day-to-day operations are managed by the Transit Supervisor while administrative, technical support and budget administration services are provided by the Administrative Analyst. 1 Service Characteristics The Riverside Special Services Program service hours are as follows: Monday – Friday 8:00 a.m. – 5:30p.m. Saturday – Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 4:30p.m. No service is provided on the following holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. Clients may make reservations from one (1) to seven (7) days in advance of their requested date of pickup. However, same day service is available on a limited basis for those unable to schedule service 24 hours in advance. ADA eligible clients are guaranteed a reservation up to 1 day in advance. FY 2007/08 ridership averaged 12,126 passengers per month; 145,518 passengers were served. Of the total passengers served, 40 percent (40%) are ADA certified passengers. It is projected that during FY 2008/09, 147,000 passengers will be served, a small increase from FY 2007/08. In FY 2008/09 ridership is expected to increase due to expanded marketing efforts, scheduling efficiencies, and an increase in the City’s population. Rider Characteristics RSS riders are seniors and/or disabled residents using the service for routine daily activities, medical appointments, recreational activities, and educational programs enabling independent living. Forty percent of ridership consists of ADA eligible participants. Inland Regional Center clients use the service primarily for participation in work-study programs, medical appointments and routine social activities. The census qualifies the senior population as shown below: City of Riverside Senior Population Age Estimate 60 – 64 years 7,824 65 to 74 years 12,984 75 – 84 years 9,732 85 years and over 3,656 Total 34,196 2 Senior Population 23% 38% 28% 11% 60-64 65-74 75-84 85 years and over Based on latest figures and estimates, the senior population in Riverside is estimated at 11.40% of the City’s total population. Passenger Amenities Since RSS operates a demand response, curb to curb service, no bus stop amenities are provided. Service Related Issues As one of the fastest growing areas in the State of California, RSS is always striving to achieve to its fullest potential. Service issues include fleet maintenance, rising fuel costs, staffing, accuracy of data, and marketing. RSS staff is currently working on expanding its own fleet bay. RSS vehicles are currently maintained in the city’s fleet bay and space is shared with all other city vehicles that are in need of repair. When the fleet bay expansion project is complete, RSS will have a separate fleet bay for its vehicles. Two mechanics will maintain the RSS vehicles. RSS staff is currently working on an incentive program to reduce absenteeism among drivers. Attendance is reviewed monthly. At the monthly safety meeting, all drivers who have completed a month of no absences will be given public recognition and a certification of appreciation. All vehicles will have mobile data computers (MDC’s) installed in them by FY 2008/09. Special Transit staff will be able to collect data of our services in real-time and drivers 3 will be able to obtain accurate, up-to-date information in their vehicles, resulting in increased safety, and accurate and reliable data. The MDC’s provide some of the following features: • Electronic Manifests – stores scheduled pick up information • Electronic Trip Insertions – provides capability to add or change passenger information • Automated Dispatch and ETA – calculates estimated time of arrival • Automated On-Board Data Collection – electronically calculates fares • Automated Stop Arrival – provides actual time of pick up • Emergency Response – provides immediate notification to dispatch • Electronic Odometer Reading – tracks vehicle mileage • On-Board Navigation – provides route information The MDC module allows users to easily communicate information to and from the on- board MDC's to the dispatchers located in the office. The driver will operate the MDC by responding to messages and selecting operation function keys upon key events. City staff will continue to be proactive in marketing the City’s transit program. The marketing priorities include: • Identify potential ridership • Disseminate transit information to current and potential riders • Provide transit information to schools, hospitals, community centers • Advertise available transit services through various City publications and seek new advertising mediums (television, etc.) Additionally, tickets and punch cards will be sold online by the end of FY 2008/09. This will make the process of purchasing tickets and punch cards more efficient and convenient. Regional Services and Adjacent Transit Systems Within city limits, service is coordinated with Riverside Transit Agency, which provides after hours and holiday services in addition to RTA’s fixed-route services. RSS functions as an alternative to the RTA fixed-route system for seniors and persons with disabilities unable to use the fixed route service. RSS staff continues to participate in committees and task forces with a variety of public and private agencies. One member of the City Council is appointed as a member of the Riverside County Transportation Commission and to the Riverside Transit Agency Board of Directors. City staff is represented on the RCTC’s Technical Advisory Committee, which meets on a monthly basis to provide recommendations to the Commission on transportation related matters. 4 RSS staff participates in advisory meetings, such as ADA meetings, held with RTA and other agencies to improve coordination and passenger connections to other service providers within city boundaries. Public Participation Public participation is solicited and encouraged through the following: • RCTC Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council meetings • Riverside City Council meetings • Mayor’s Commission on Aging • Riverside City Council’s Transportation Subcommittee • Americans Commission of Disability Issues (ACODI) • ADA User Committee quarterly meetings • Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission • Presentations at senior housing areas and senior centers • Special events sponsored by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department The public is welcome to attend and encouraged to contact city staff with comments, and/or questions. Public comments serve as an important tool for gauging service improvements. All comments are investigated and reviewed by the appropriate staff person. If requested, a response will be provided. Customer survey comment cards are available to all clients and are located in paratransit vehicles. Survey results are reviewed and investigated as needed by the appropriate staff person. Key Performance Indicators Riverside Special Services adheres to RCTC’s performance standards and reports monthly data to RCTC and to FTA (Federal Transit Administration). RSS is currently compliant with the mandatory PIP (Productivity Improvement Program) requirement; RSS is also in compliance with 5 out of the 7 discretionary PIP requirements. RSS staff is taking measures to meet all 7 discretionary PIP requirements. RSS is in compliance with all federal, state and city guidelines. 5 PIP HISTORY AND STATUS FY 03/04 FY 04/05 FY 05/06 FY 06/07 FY 07/08 Status Passengers 157,828 152,752 145,223 144,593 144,904 Increase Farebox Recovery Ratio 10.2% 9.9% 9.97% 11.02% 12.19% Met farebox Cost per Revenue Hour $46.68 $56.76 $65.72 $70.96 $76.73 Increase Subsidy per Passenger $10.30 $12.22 $14.97 $14.90 $14.66 Increase Subsidy per Passenger Mile $2.53 $3.10 $4.34 $3.72 $3.67 Increase Subsidy per Hour $41.90 $51.15 $59.17 $63.14 $67.37 Increase Subsidy per Mile $2.53 $3.12 $3.76 $4.54 $4.44 Increase Passenger per Revenue Hour 4.07 4.2 4.0 4.2 4.6 Increase Passengers per Revenue Mile .25 .26 .25 .30 .30 No change New Service Implementation and Evaluation RSS was previously considering the option of eliminating service on weekends and holidays due to the high cost of operating the service. Operating cost per revenue hour during the weekends and holidays is substantially higher than on the weekdays. However, RSS staff has decided to maintain service on the weekends and holidays. RSS staff will strive to market the weekend and holiday service in order to increase ridership during these days. In the past, RSS offered premium subscription service that provided unlimited rides for $175.00 per month. RSS currently has no clients subscribed to this service. RSS would like to provide a subscription service that is affordable and cost effective. Premium subscription services that offer unlimited rides are now available to clients for $100.00 per month. RSS is applying for Section 5310 Elderly and Disabled Specialized Transit Program funding. If awarded this funding, RSS will expand service to offer two Paratransit vehicles used solely for dialysis patients. On average, RSS transports 1,000 dialysis patients per month. RSS will coordinate with several dialysis centers within the city limits in order to offer this specialized service. RSS will track this service monthly by evaluating the cost per revenue hour and passenger per hour ratios of the vehicles used for this service to ensure that the service is valuable and in demand. Service will initially be expanded from 21 routes to 22 routes; RSS plans on maintaining a fleet of 26 minibuses in order to offer this service. 6 RSS has also purchased a 2007 Chevy Eldorado van to use in case of emergencies or missed trips. Pending success of this new service, RSS is planning on expanding this service to include reserving vehicles for all medical appointments, including dialysis appointments. Regulatory and Compliance Requirements Riverside Special Services Dial-A-Ride vehicles purchased are alternative fuel and lift equipped, and meets all Federal and State requirements, including ADA. The City of Riverside offers priority service to ADA certified passengers and offers ADA complimentary paratransit service with service hours that match the fixed route provided by Riverside Transit Agency.

Riverside Special Services should be more accessible and prominent on the City of Riverside’s website. Information about RSS can be difficult to locate on the City’s home web page. Perhaps a hot link could be added on the city’s homepage or the navigation of the City’s website made easier. Staff has worked with the IT department to prominently display RSS’s information on the city’s website. Staff is now working with IT to create a website to sell RSS tickets and punch cards online. 2. Consider advertising on vehicles to raise additional local revenue for the farebox. RCTC’s adopted fare recovery ratio policy allows local support revenue to count towards the farebox. Local revenue in the farebox calculation could include advertising revenues, which could contribute to the City’s mandated farebox ratio of 10%. Advertising content might be considered either in the interior or exterior of the vehicles. Staff is currently working on a proposal with Paratransit Inc. to advertise on the exterior of our vehicles. If approved, the advertisements should generate an additional $23,400 in annual revenue for RSS. 3. Develop and document a standardized complaint handling process. RSS should develop a step-by-step flow chart that outlines the steps for addressing a customer complaint, from the initial phone call taken by the dispatcher, to follow up actions taken by transit staff. A standalone, standardized complaint form should be developed that has sections to be filled out by staff for each step, including the nature of the complaint, who A complaint handling process has been developed and currently in place. 1 Triennial performance audit for FY 2003/04 through FY 2005/06 was conducted in FY 2006/07 and completed 6/30/07. 2 If no action taken, provide schedule for implementation or explanation of why the recommendation is no longer relevant. Table 6-Triennial Audit FY 2008/09 SRTP 22 was the complaint forwarded to, actions take to address the complaint, and if there was follow up communication with the customer. Standardizing and documenting the complaint process ensures a transparent and consistent process for both the transit system and the public. 4. Track the effectiveness of the new “No Show” Policy as it relates to changes in ridership and in the number of passengers no shows. The “No Show” Policy is currently being reviewed by the City of Riverside City Attorney’s Office. It will not be implemented until it is approved by the City Attorney’s Office. Passenger no shows and cancellations are noted and tracked daily. A monthly report is prepared and a letter is sent to passengers who have accumulated a specific amount of points. A reminder letter is also sent to those passengers close to accumulating a specific amount of points before they reach suspension. Since implementation of the “No Show” Policy, a monthly update is also forwarded to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission for their review. 5. Include all City transit staff in the calculation of full time equivalents (FTE). The City of Riverside does not include the city mechanics in Special Transit’s FTEs calculations. The mechanics are budgeted in the City’s General Services Department, Fleet Maintenance Division budget. The overhead charges for mechanic services are included in Special Transit’s cost allocation charges. To include the mechanic FTEs in the Special Transit budget would incorrectly double the staff charges for maintenance services.

Special Transit staff will be able to collect data of our services in real-time and drivers will be able to obtain accurate, up-to-date information in their vehicles, resulting in increased safety, and accurate and reliable data. ¾ Marketing and Sales – RSS staff is planning to market the Special Transit Program through new advertising mediums (television, etc.). Additionally, tickets and punch cards will be sold online by the end of FY 2008/09. ¾ Vehicles - RSS has ordered 8 replacement vehicles to be delivered in May 2008. These vehicles were budgeted in FY 2006/07, and will replace existing vehicles that exceed 100,000 miles and/or that require frequent repairs. ¾ Service Expansion - RSS is applying for Section 5310 Elderly and Disabled Specialized Transit Program funding. If awarded this funding, RSS will expand service to offer two Paratransit vehicles used solely for dialysis patients.

The SRTP is developed within the context of the regional planning process aimed at implementing SunLine’s participation in the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan. The development of the SRTP is essential in that it enables staff to fulfill the agency’s mission and directions from SunLine’s Board of Directors. The FY 2009-2011 SRTP presents strategies for service improvements and capital projects to achieve the objective of the mission statement. The SRTP will be submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for approval and is the framework for future federal grant applications as required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The FY 2009-2011 SRTP includes recommendations in the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) approved by SunLine’s Board in 2006. The COA analyzed transit bus services provided in the Coachella Valley and presented service proposals and options for implementation. PURPOSE OF THE SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN The SRTP is a three-year capital and operating plan which is submitted to SunLine’s Board of Directors and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for approval. RCTC is responsible for oversight, funding and coordination of all public transportation services in Riverside County. Even though the SRTP is a three-year plan, RCTC only funds the first year of the Plan, with the remaining two-years provided for planning purposes. The SRTP provides information on SunLine’s services and operating characteristics, including the annual budget, which is integrated as part of the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP), State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP), and Federal Transportation Improvement Plan (FTIP). The SRTP highlights anticipated changes in service levels through FY 2011. The population of the Coachella Valley has increased significantly over the last couple of years and continues to grow. Based on the most recent population estimate, there are 433,830 permanent residents residing in the Coachella Valley. The latest population figures are based on estimates from the Department of Finance. Projections by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) indicates the population of the Valley will increase to over one million residents by 2035 and in addition, employment estimates for the Valley will more than double by the same year. With the continued growth in the Valley, SunLine continues to evaluate and monitor areas with increased growth in population and will adjust existing service or implement new service routes to serve these areas, when necessary. This ensures that transportation and mobility needs in these areas are addressed to provide services that connect residents to major destination points in the Valley as well as other areas of Riverside County. MISSION STATEMENT To keep the Coachella Valley moving with safe, reliable and accessible public transit and a commitment to balance our fiscal and environmental responsibilities. 1 SRTP OVERVIEW This year’s SRTP presents information on existing services and facilities, financial forecasts, capital improvement plan, planned service improvements for FY 2008/09; proposed service improvements for FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/11.

SunDial offers complementary demand-response next day service to Coachella Valley residents that are unable to use fixed route service. Certified riders who have an ADA Certification Identification Card are eligible to use SunDial for their transportation needs, including medical appointments, shopping, and other social activities. SunDial service is available within ¾ miles on either side of the existing SunBus system. 17 SUNBUS AND SUNDIAL FARE STRUCTURE SunLine’s current fare structure consists of four fare categories: adult, youth, Senior (60+)/Disabled, and persons with disabilities that use SunDial. SunLine fixed route passengers pay the adult fare unless eligible for discounted fares which are available only to seniors, the disabled and youth. There are two fare payment options: cash and passes and children under 4 years and younger do not pay any fares. The table below illustrates the current fare structure implemented in 2006. SUNBUS FARE STRUCTURE TYPE OF FARE FARE CATEGORY FIXED-ROUTE FARES ADULT (18 YRS – 59 YRS) YOUTH (5 YRS – 17 YRS) SENIOR 60+/ DISABLED/MEDICAID Cash/Base Fare $1.00 $.85 $.50 Transfers $.25 $.25 $.25 Monthly Pass $34.00 $24.00 $17.00 Day Pass $3.00 $2.00 $1.50 10-Ride Pass (w/out transfers) $10.00 $8.50 $5.00 10-Ride Pass (with transfers) $12.50 $11.00 $6.00 GO Pass * (Only sold in Summer for Youths) $30.00 Employee Pass $24.00 SUNDIAL FARE STRUCTURE TYPE OF FARE (Only for ADA Certified Clients) SINGLE RIDE MULTIPLE RIDES (10-RIDE) SunDial 10-Ride Pass (fares w/in cities) $1.50 $15.00 SunDial 10-Ride Pass (fares between cities) $2.00 $20.00 During the year, SunLine may need to develop a new fare structure as staff is considering installing Odyssey validating fareboxes in all fixed route buses and will need to work with RCTC on approval of the new fare structure. Staff anticipates completing the project by December 2008 and with implementation of new fare media at the beginning of the calendar year. In addition to installing Odyssey fareboxes in fixed route buses, the Centsabill registering fareboxes removed from the fixed route buses will be installed in paratransit buses. Given this, SunLine will have to evaluate the current fare structure to determine if further changes are warranted and based on the results, a new fare structure will be developed and implemented. 18 STUDENT PASS FOR THE COLLEGE OF THE DESERT (COD) SunLine continues to research student pass programs throughout the nation and will utilize data compiled to implement a pilot project in conjunction with COD. SunLine plans to continue working with COD senior management on how best to develop a pass program for COD students and hopes to implement the new program for Fall 2008. This will be in conjunction with plans to provide direct transit service to the COD campus in Palm Desert in FY 2009. 19 POPULATION OF COACHELLA VALLEY In its annual publication titled “Demographic Profiles of the Coachella Valley”, Wheeler’s reported that the Valley’s population grew by 3.6% from January 1, 2006 to January 1, 2007, indicating an increase of 35% since the 2000 census and 86% since the 1990 census. The highest growth was recorded in the cities of Coachella, Indio, La Quinta, and Desert Hot Springs and with the unincorporated communities also recording an increase of 3% for the same period, and a 26% growth since the 2000 census. In 2007, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) released population estimates for the Coachella Valley indicating the number of residents in the Valley will increase to over one million people by 2035. Additionally, the report stated employment in the Valley is expected to double by 2035. The growth in population will result in an increase in congestion with delay on major arterials and highways. To help mitigate congestion on the road and maintain regional mobility, transit utilization must increase to meet increased demand for transit service. The chart below shows population growth in the Coachella Valley since January 2005 to January 2007. TABLE 1 COMPARISON OF POPULATION GROWTH IN INDIVIDUAL CITIES AND UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES IN COACHELLA VALLEY JANUARY 2005 – JANUARY 2007 - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 January 2007 January 2006 January 2005 Cathedral City Coachella Desert Hot Springs Indian Wells Indio La Quinta Palm Desert Palm Springs Rancho Mirage Unincorporated Communities 20 FLEET CHARATERISTICS AND TYPE FUEL UTILIZED Currently, SunLine has 76 buses in its fleet, including 53 fixed route and 23 demand response vehicles. Additionally, there are 27 support vehicles that are used for various activities in support of services provided in the Coachella Valley. In 20003/04, SunLine implemented the Bus Replacement Program to replace buses in the fleet that have met their useful life to ensure compliance with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) mandate on the useful life of transit vehicles. Since a number of buses in the fleet had mileage in excess of 500,000 and were over 12 years old, SunLine purchased 15 fixed route buses in 2005/06 and in 2006/07; staff ordered 16 additional replacement buses. Additionally, staff purchased replacement buses in 2006/07 to replace the paratransit buses. Funds programmed in the FY 2005/06, 2006/07, and 2007/08 will be used to purchase the remaining replacement buses, as well as additional expansion buses needed for fixed route service. Funds requested for buses will be used as local match for the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant awarded to SunLine to purchase expansion buses. The size of buses to be purchased will vary based on the type of service. Additional expansion buses will also be purchased for paratransit service. In FY 2008/09, SunLine plans to purchase additional replacement support vehicles. EXISTING AND PROPOSED FACILITIES With the planned and projected service growth to the system, the existing Maintenance facilities in Thousand Palms and Indio will not meet the agency’s needs as the system continues to grow. SunLine acquired land in 2003 in Thousand Palms to expand its Administration, Operational and Maintenance (AOM) Building. Since the existing maintenance facilities will not be able to handle the additional vehicle capacity, there is a need to increase capacity at both maintenance facilities. In addition, it has been determined that there is a need to make improvements to the Indio facility. In FY 2006/07, SunLine requested funding to complete environmental assessment and engineering services as well as develop a Master Plan for the proposed new head office in Thousand Palms. In FY 2007/08, we also requested funding to renovate the facility in Indio. Additional funding requested in FY 2008/09 will enable staff to continue working on planning activities for the new AOM Building and existing facility in Indio. Additionally, SunLine plans to conduct a site selection study to evaluate and select sites for transit centers and/or transfer locations as recommended in the COA. To augment CMAQ funding received from the Federal Highway Administration for the construction of a transit hub in Thousand Palms, staff is requesting funding to assist with this effort. SERVICE CHARACTERISTIECS Current Conditions – Service Coverage SunLine operates 13 fixed routes which serve various segments of the Valley, stretching from the unincorporated areas of Mecca, Thermal and Oasis in the eastern part of the valley to Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs. The total number of routes operated also includes two routes funded by the City of Palm Desert. Line 111 is the main trunk line with all routes connecting to the route at strategic points along Highway 111. SunLine continues to improve the headway on selected bus routes with strong ridership demand, and will continue with these improvements in FY 2008/9 as well. 21 Vehicle miles traveled in Coachella Valley continues to rise as more development and construction projects are undertaken by local jurisdictions. Inevitably, such activities impact daily service provision which forces SunLine to detour buses to minimize impacts to patrons using the bus service. Current service levels will need to improve to prevent the system from declining. In general, the SRTP recommends improvements over the current service levels to increase market share of transit usage. Current Conditions – Service Usage In FY 2006/07, SunLine served over 3.5 million passengers system-wide, with service offered to 3,419,492 riders on the fixed route system and 83,419 rides to paratransit clients. Staff continues to evaluate and monitor both fixed route and paratransit services and plans to implement marketing strategies targeting routes or segments of routes to increase ridership. Since completion of the COA, frequency improvements have been made to Lines 30, 31, 50, 70, 80, 91 and 111, with additional improvements planned in FY 2008/09 to offer more convenient service for bus patrons. Planned improvements in FY 2008/09 will address schedule adherence and improve connectivity among routes, as well as evaluate and implement new service in areas with increased demand for transit service. Future Growth As more people move to the Valley and to help mitigate traffic congestion, SunLine will continue to improve, as well as grow the system to increase the market share of transit use in the Valley. The plan for achieving a higher mode share for transit includes not only increasing bus service, but also working with the local jurisdictions to create land use and development strategies to direct population and employment growth into centers and areas connecting corridors. Focusing growth in areas with existing transit service and appropriate infrastructure will assist with the development of transit markets that could be effectively served by transit. With the forecasted growth in the Valley, SunLine will need to provide service that links residents to employment centers by collaborating with employers throughout the Valley to meet mobility needs of their employees. In FY 2008/09, SunLine plans to implement new routes to provide connection to dense areas that can sustain and support transit. In FY 2007/08, staff worked with various entities in the Valley to examine the feasibility of providing service to areas that have experienced tremendous growth. Additionally, SunLine must begin looking at providing service to meet regional transportation needs, especially for residents that travel to other segments of the County beyond Coachella Valley. RIDER CHARACTERISTICS A passenger survey conducted as part of the COA indicates fixed route riders fall into 4 categories: workers, students, seniors and visitors, of which seventy-one percent are employed or students. Seventy-nine percent are low income, transit dependent, and use SunBus five or more days. The results also indicated that typical SunLine riders speak English and Spanish, are between the ages of 23 to 65, and with an average income of $20,000. School and work are the overriding trip generators, followed by shopping, medical care and recreation. 22 Most commute trips within Coachella Valley are concentrated in the City of Palm Desert, with twenty-three percent of all work trips ending in Palm Desert. Data compiled for trip purposes in the COA also indicates that the commuting patterns are focused in Palm Desert with most passengers traveling from the cities Cathedral City, Indio, La Quinta and Palm Springs to Palm Desert. There are also strong commuting patterns between La Quinta and Indio, and also from Coachella to Indio. Most commute trips on the system occurs along Highway 111, with nearly all destinations served directly by Line 111. To follow up on the survey conducted in 2005/06 as part of the COA, SunLine launched a massive effort in FY 2007/08 to conduct another survey to get a sense of how the agency is doing in the community. The goal is to get feedback and input from bus patrons on how to improve current service and with the hope of gathering additional data and information on where more transit service should be provided. PASSENGER AMENITIES Bus Shelters/Bus Stops With over 500 bus stops and 192 bus shelters located at bus stops throughout SunLine’s service area, bus stops are cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. Solar lights have been installed at remote bus shelter locations to address and improve upon safety concerns at bus stops installed in rural and non-rural areas where electricity may not be readily available. As part of the COA, it was recommended that additional amenities be installed to enhance existing bus stops by adding more bus shelters throughout the service area, and with more bus shelters to be installed along future transit service routes. Staff is requesting funding in the FY 2008/09 SRTP to purchase more transit amenities to continue enhancing bus stops system-wide. In FY 2007/08, staff purchased additional transit amenities that included stand alone bus benches and trash receptacles, solar powered bus stop lighting and is currently in the process of procuring more bus shelters for installation throughout the service area. Staff also worked with local jurisdictions to improve accessibility at bus stops along selected routes and in FY 2008/09, staff will continue improving bus stops in the Valley to meet accessibility guidelines mandated by the federal government. On-Board Passenger Amenities SunLine buses have electronic designation signs that show route numbers, route names, and destinations. All buses have racks installed to display public announcements, notices and route schedules. Passengers can request the buses to stop by ringing bells located within their reach without leaving their seats. Air conditioning and heating is also provided for passengers’ comfort. Bicycle Facilities SunLine’s fixed route buses have bike racks mounted on the exterior of the buses which provide bicyclists the opportunity to use an alternate mode for traveling by combining bicycling and riding the bus. Riders can increase the range of options for using other modes of transportation for their mobility needs by combining bicycling and riding the bus. SunLine requested funding in FY 2007/08 to purchase and install bicycle lockers and stationary bike racks at selected transfer locations to encourage more bus patrons to bicycle and ride the bus. 23 SERVICE RELATED ISSUES In FY 2007/08, staff worked on service related issues that continue to impact public transportation provided in the Coachella Valley and among these issues are continued communication and dialogue with local jurisdictions to curtail the impact of construction on transit service. Given the growth in population and increased vehicular traffic, some of the key issues that SunLine will need to address in FY 2008/09 is to improve frequencies on existing routes. This will help to ensure that passengers are moved comfortably and conveniently to their destinations. In FY 2007/08, staff implemented the Bus Monitoring Program (BMP) to evaluate performance of bus service with respect to ridership, vehicle loadings, and on-time performance as part of the Service Improvement Program (SIP). The BMP helps staff to identify routes or route segments that need improvement, as well as assist staff in verifying areas in the community that should be targeted for route structuring, realignment and further improvement. Based on the data compiled from the BMP, staff will develop an improvement plan for each targeted route for further improvement. Targeted routes are closely monitored and evaluated after a specific time frame to ensure that they meet the performance standard or if further action is needed. SunLine will continue refining its service planning process based on data gathered from the BMP and through a more comprehensive review to improve operating efficiency and cost effectiveness. In FY 2008/09, service operated on both Shopper Hopper routes (Lines 51 and 52) will be discontinued as the City of Palm Desert has indicated that the service will no longer be funded. Staff is currently evaluating both routes to determine the feasibility of combining both routes. Service Reliability and On-time Performance With increased traffic congestion along major arterials in the Valley, schedule adherence continues to be impacted. Since service reliability is key to greater customer satisfaction, SunLine is striving to improve on-time performance on all routes. As planned, SunLine is in the process of purchasing Automatic Passenger Counters for installation on buses. When installed, these devices will collect data that will be used in tracking and compiling ridership by route and at each bus stop, which will also assist with the selection of high usage bus stops for future enhancement. Transit Security In FY 2008/09, SunLine will continue its efforts to procure more surveillance equipment to improve the security and safety of employees, as well as passengers using the system. As mandated by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act, A Legacy of Users (SAFETEA-LU), SunLine will continue using one percent of Section 5307 apportionments on projects to provide and improve security of the system. Planned improvements will include installation of more lighting at bus stops throughout the system and more surveillance cameras on buses. REGIONAL SERVICES AND ADJACENT TRANSIT SYSTEMS SunLine continues to participate in regional planning forums and works with other agencies and organizations to ensure bus riders are aware of transit services provided in the region. SunLine rider information is published in neighboring agencies' rider's guides and also in the Riverside County Transportation Commission’s Free Guide 24 Transportation Freedom Brochure. SunLine examined the feasibility of providing transit service to other parts of the County and as part of this process, will continue to conduct surveys to evaluate the need for service. In FY 20008/09, SunLine will evaluate the feasibility of implementing service to connect with Greyhound service and potentially with Amtrak service as well. In addition, staff is evaluating the possibility of implementing new transit service routes to North Shore and is currently working with the North Shore Community Council and staff from Supervisor Roy Wilson’s office to conduct a survey to determine the level of service needed. Additionally, staff continues to evaluate and monitor the need for transit service to the Pass Area. If it is determined that there is demand for service in these areas, SunLine will request funding to implement service. To assist with efforts in determining if transit service should be provided to these areas, SunLine will update the COA completed in 2006 to consider which approach to take as we plan for additional service in the Coachella Valley. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Based on the Federal Transit Administration regulations, SunLine seeks public input for service changes, fare changes and related agency business. Public notices are published in local and regional newspapers as well as placed in buses, at bus stops and posted on our website to ensure information is accessible to the community. Public comments are accepted at each Board meeting and customer comments are also accepted in the Operations Department. Comments are entered into a database and are used in analyzing and responding to requests for service improvements system- wide. Additional comments and suggestions received from the ACCESS Advisory Committee are considered as part of the service planning and development process. Staff will continue working with local jurisdictions and various community entities to obtain their input for consideration as part of the service improvement process. Although most service requests are not implemented immediately due to financial and equipment constraints, staff makes every effort to respond to all requests. REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) SunLine complies with ADA Regulations and ensures that all buses and vans are accessible to passengers using assistive devices. Most Supervisors’ vans are also equipped with wheelchair lifts. Staff continues to work with local public works departments to improve bus stops on a priority basis. An ADA Guidebook developed in FY 2005/06 informs passengers about mobility options and is printed in English and Spanish. The Guide book is available upon request and also posted on the website. Audits SunLine implemented recommendations by the Macias Consulting Group in FY 2005/06 and there are currently no outstanding findings from the audit. In FY 20006/07, RCTC commissioned Pacific Municipal Consultants (PMC) to conduct a Triennial Performance Audit as required by the Transportation Development Act (TDA). Staff developed an action plan in response to the recommendations provided by PMC and has implemented recommendations in the final report. 25 Title VI In FY 2007/08, SunLine updated its Title VI Report and submitted it to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in March 2008. Staff is waiting for approval from FTA. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE): In FY 2007/08, staff completed its bi-annual report for DBE and has submitted the report to FTA for review and approval. Staff is waiting for FTA’s response. Charter Bus Service SunLine complies with federal mandate on using federally funded equipment and facilities to provide Charter service, as such, does not provide Charter service. 26 NEW SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION In FY 2006/07 and FY 2007/08, staff made frequency improvements based on recommendations in the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) approved by SunLine’s Board of Directors. Frequency improvements were made on Lines 30, 50, 31, 80, 91, 111, and Line 70 was realigned. As called for in the COA, segments of routes that are unproductive, are no longer served so as to improve productivity of the routes. Staff plans to continue monitoring and tracking productivity on all routes to achieve better efficiencies. In FY 2008/09, staff plans to implement new service routes to areas without any transit service and also to improve and expand existing routes. In FY 2007/08, SunLine applied for and received Congestion Mitigation Air Quality funds (CMAQ) operating funds from the Federal Highway Administration to implement a new route on one of the major corridors in the Coachella Valley. Staff also received additional capital assistance funding to purchase buses to operate the new service. As a result, staff will implement a new limited express service on Fred Waring Drive beginning of January 2009. The route is intended to serve College of the Desert students, employees working at businesses along the corridor and those at the Mall, middle and high schools along Fred Waring Drive. The following provides a summary of planned service during the year. PLANNED SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS IN FY 2008/09 A. September 2008 I. Implement Lines 24 and 32 as recommended in the COA II.

Line 23 presently provides two trips in the morning and in the afternoon to a number to schools in the cities of Cathedral City and Palm Springs. The current Line 24 operates on a 90-minute headway with service to the Desert Regional Medical hospital, Palm Spring International Airport, the Desert Highland Community Center, the Mall, City Hall and schools along the route. The realigned route will provide bi-directional service and with an improved frequency. 29 LINE 32: Planned Service Improvement for September 2008 The new Line 32 route has been proposed to replace the current Line 31 route and will operate as a sub-regional route. Service will be provided to the cities of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and the unincorporated community of Thousand Palms. The route will operate on an improved frequency and will connect residents of Thousand Palms to the Mall in Palm Desert, and regional hospitals in Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. 30 LINE 50: Planned Service Improvement for September 2008 As part of the approved recommendations in the COA, it was recommended that a new route be implemented to serve the University of California, Riverside and California State University, San Bernardino campuses in Palm Desert. The route will continue to operate from Town Center Way and serve destinations along Country Club Drive, Bob Hope Drive and Cook Street. The route has been realigned to operate on Fred Waring Drive instead of Highway 111 and will continue to operate on a 30-minute frequency. 31 LINE 90: Planned Service Improvement for September 2008 Line 90 has also been realigned to travel on Harrison Street due to the reconfiguration of Line 91. The route will continue with the current routing; however, service on Avenue 49, Frederick Street, 6th Street, 7th Street, Tripoli and Pendleton has been discontinued. The route has been improved to provide bi-directional service and will continue to operate on a 30-minute frequency. 32 LINE 91: Planned Service Improvement for September 2008 Line 91 was realigned based on the recommendations in the COA, and instead of separating the route in two, the route has been reconfigured to offer bi-directional service to riders. Due to low productivity along Harrison Street/Highway 86, this segment of the route will no longer be served. The frequency on the route will also be improved. 33 LINE 54: Planned Service for January 2009 Line 54 is planned as a limited express bus service along Fred Waring Drive to residents traveling from the eastern part of the Valley to the College of the Desert and the Westfield Shopping Mall in Palm Desert. The route will have only seven bus stops and will operate on a 20-minute frequency. The route will also connect with a number of the existing routes, including Lines 32, 50, 70, 80, 90, 91, and 111. 34 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS FOR FY 2009/10 and FY 20010/11 A.

SunLine continues to work with local school districts to ensure that special transportation needs of students attending local schools are addressed, and continue to collaborate with other institutions in the community on special projects to meet the mobility needs of all residents. Staff continues to offer mobility training to seniors and persons with disabilities interested in using the fixed route system instead of solely depending on paratransit service. During FY 2007/08, SunLine participated in efforts by RCTC to develop a Coordinated Transportation Plan (CTP) as mandated by the Federal Transit Administration to ensure coordination of transportation services with social service agencies. As mandated in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), all agencies that apply for funding programs such as Section 5310, Section 5316 (Job Access Reserve Commute), and Section 5317 (New Freedom), must ensure coordination of transportation services in order to be eligible for funding. The CTP, which has been completed and approved by the RCTC Board of Commissioners, sets the tone on how social service agencies and transit operators would apply for funding for various projects. As part of this effort, SunLine staff met with State Department of Social Services (DPSS) staff to discuss projects that both agencies could partner and submit an application for JARC and New Freedom funds. SunLine remains committed to working with the ACCESS Advisory Committee and continues to facilitate monthly meetings held at the Thousand Palms head office. SunLine continues to work with the Committee on developing a better relationship with the community to address on-going public transportation issues in the Valley. Staff continues to participate in the regional transportation planning process through participation on Riverside County Transportation Commission committees. These committees include the Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council, the Technical Advisory Committee, and other planning related committees that will enhance coordination efforts undertaken by SunLine. To provide transportation service for residents that are unable to use fixed route and demand response services, SunLine partnered with Independent Living Partners to operate the Transportation Reimbursement and Information Project (TRIP) program to offer transportation service to those who would otherwise be homebound and isolated. The TRIP Program provides transportation service to persons, old or young, and persons with or without disabilities. The Program staff through one-on-one consultation service assesses the needs of the population, through partnership with the County’s Office on Aging HelpLink. New applicants, if predetermined to have special needs, are referred to the TRIP Program for service evaluation. Based on their transportation needs, they are sent brochures, route schedules and are instructed on how to apply for American with Disabilities Act Certification offered by public transportation agencies. 36 TABLE 1 FLEET INVENTORY 37 38 TABLE 2 RIDERSHIP DATA 39 40 41 42 TABLES 3 DATA ELEMENTS AND ROUTE STATISTICS 43 44 45 46 47 48 TABLE 3A INDIVIDUAL ROUTE DESCRIPTION TABLE 3A- INDIVIDUAL ROUTE DESCRIPTION Line # Existing Routes Line 14 Serves the Cities of Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs Line 23 Provides service to the Cities of Palm Springs and Cathedral City Line 24 Serves the City of Palm Springs and Cathedral City Line 30 Serves the cities of Palm Springs and Cathedral City Line 31 Provides service to the Cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage and Thousand Palms Line 50 Service is provided to the Cities of Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert Line 70 Service is offered to the Cities of La Quinta, Bermuda Dunes, Palm Desert, and Indian Wells Line 80 Provides service in the City of Indio Line 90 Offers service to the Cities of Indio and Coachella Line 91 Serves the Cities of Coachella and Indio, and the unincorporated areas of Mecca, Thermal and Oasis Line 111 Service is provided to the Cities of Indio, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City and Palm Springs Line # Planned New Routes Line 24 Realigned and combined with Line 23 to serve the City of Palm Springs.

This is continuation of on-going demonstration and research project currently being undertaken by SunLine, CalStart, New Flyer, UTC and ISE. The Federal Transit Administration earmarked funding to continue work on the manufacture of buses with zero emissions. This earmark was apportioned for FY 2007/08 as part of the on-going project of manufacturing and testing a hydrogen fuel cell transit bus project for service operation. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION Due to federal regulations on accessing federal funds in Team-Web, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Regional Office is requiring that the SunLine Transit Agency act as a pass-through grantee for the project. SunLine staff has had a partnership with CalStart and aforementioned partners on similar projects, whereby, advanced technology are incorporated into the manufacture of transit buses that are tested and put into service in the Coachella Valley. The partnership began in 2000 when the world’s first hydrogen fueled transit bus was built. Subsequently, the bus was put in service 2002 in the Valley and as a result of the continued project; SunLine received one of four buses in November 2005, which was operated along Highway 111 on Line 111. The funding requested will enable SunLine to maximize and leverage funding from FTA to complete another hydrogen fueled cell transit bus.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION This is a continuation of SunLine’s goal to purchase replacement buses to replace buses purchased in 1994. As a result of the buses having excess mileage of over 500,000, SunLine began replacing the buses in 2004 to ensure the agency meets federal guidelines on the useful life expectancy of the vehicles. In 2005, SunLine purchased fifteen (15) replacement vehicles and in 2006, SunLine ordered an additional sixteen (16) buses to continue with the bus replacement program established in 2004. SunLine continues to replace buses in the fleet that have met their useful life and plans to purchase additional buses to make up for the bulk of buses that will be replaced as a majority of the buses are 13 years old and have over 800,000 miles. Additionally, the CNG cylinder tanks on the buses will expire in 2009 and will be taken out of service. The cost to replace the cylinders would be too expensive for the aging fleet. Purchasing this replacement bus ensures that SunLine complies with federal and state laws. In 2006/07, SunLine procured 16 replacement buses and intends to procure an additional 1replacement bus in FY 2008/09.

SunLine’s CNG station in Thousand Palms has had 5,300,000 GGE through-put since the facilities were constructed in 1997 and have averaged 700,000 GGE annually for over the last two years. The station at SunLine’s satellite facility in Indio which was build in 1998 averages 425,000 GGE over the last two years. Both stations are used for transit purposes and by the public. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION Customers using the public CNG stations have complained of short fills and have indicated that the 3,000 psig fueling island cannot fuel buses up to 3,600 psig. This impacts SunLine’s ability to fuel the transit buses using the fuel island and may affect the capacity to fuel more buses at the two stations as SunLine adds more vehicles to its fleet. The improvement will enable SunLine to: • Add more dispensers at the fueling station • Modify public dispensers to address customers complaint • Relocate the existing public island and install a card reader • Improve landscaping around the fueling station • Construct new island and relocate CNG mechanical and electrical systems • Provide 24/7 service at the public fueling island PROJECT FUNDING SOURCES (REQUESTED) AQMD $189,000 LTF $250,000 TOTAL $439,000 PRIOR YEAR PROJECTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE WITH UNEXPENDED BALANCE – OR PROJECTS APPROVED BUT NOT YET ORDERED – INCLUDE FTA GRANT NUMBER AND RCTC’S CAPITAL GRANT NUMBER.

Findings from the audit included recommendations to improve the safety program, as well as enhance and tighten security within the agency to address any deficiencies that exists. SunLine Safety and Security Department reviewed recommendations from the assessment and begun addressing issues highlighted in the report. The enhancement project entails: 1. An emergency evacuation system for both facilities to enhance emergency process for evacuating agency staff in the event of a disaster. 2. Upgrade perimeter of both facilities by installing security fencing, including installation of security cameras, motion sensors and lighting. 3. Install an alternate gate for Division 1, the Thousand Palms facility to enhance egress and ingress to facilitate better emergency evacuation of agency staff in the event of a major fire, disaster or terrorist threat. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION Funding requested will be utilized in developing alternate escape routing for agency employees and to remove agency equipment in the event of an emergency, upgrade and improve the overall perimeter of agency facilities by reinforcing all fencing and gates, and increase lighting and visibility of all properties for better security. Security devices and equipment will provide early warning alarm systems in the event of an emergency, provide back-up systems and power sources. In the event that the Homeland Security Threat level is increased, the system will b used to screen and detect weapons and explosives on visitors visiting the agency that may pose a threat.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION This is a continuation of SunLine’s goal to purchase replacement buses to replace buses purchased in 1994. This is a result of the buses having excess mileage of over 500,000, SunLine began replacing the buses in 2004 to ensure the agency meets federal guidelines on the useful life expectancy of the vehicles. In 2005, SunLine purchased fifteen (15) replacement vehicles and in 2006, SunLine ordered an additional sixteen (16) buses to continue with the bus replacement program established in 2004. SunLine continues to replace buses in the fleet that have met their useful life and plans to purchase additional buses to make up for the bulk of buses that will be replaced as a majority of the buses are 13 years old and have over 800,000 miles. Additionally, the CNG cylinder tanks on the buses will expire in 2009 and will be taken out of service. The cost to replace the cylinders would be too expensive for the aging fleet. Purchasing this replacement bus ensures that SunLine complies with federal and state laws. In 2006/07, SunLine procured 16 replacement buses and intends to procure an additional 20 replacement buses in FY 2008/09.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SunLine is requesting an amendment to the current FY 2007/08 SRTP to cover funding shortfall in Measure A, STA, LTF, and Section 5307 federal funding. Request $1,399,784 in LTF Funding to Cover Shortfalls for Operating Assistance 1) Request $401,567 in LTF Funds to Cover Federal Funding Shortfall In FY 2007/08, SunLine was approved to receive $3,749,387 in funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for capital assistance to fund projects identified in its FY 2007/08 SRTP. However, FTA appropriated only $3,347,820 of the amount originally requested. As a result of the federal funding shortfall, additional LTF funding in the amount of $401,567 is required to fully fund the preventive maintenance program. Agenda Item 8S 397 2) Request $760,000 in LTF Funds to Cover Measure A Funding Shortfall In the FY 2007/08 SRTP, SunLine was approved to receive $4,129,000 in Measure A funds; however, due to the economic downturn, that amount has been reduced by $760,000, as reported at the February 13, 2008 Commission meeting. As a result, SunLine is requesting $760,000 in LTF to cover the shortfall. 3) Request $238,217 in LTF Funds as Local Match for FY 2006 Section 5316 Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) and Section 5317 New Freedom for Operating Assistance SunLine staff was recently informed by the Commission that the FY 2006 Section 5316 Jobs Access Reverse Commute ($162,641) and Section 5317 New Freedom ($75,576) apportioned to the Coachella Valley would lapse in September 2008. The Commission stated it recommended SunLine as the designated receiver to prevent the funds from lapsing. The combined total amount for both funds is $238,217, which will be used to expand fixed route service in the Coachella Valley. Because the funds are for operating assistance, there is a required match of 50%. As a result, SunLine is requesting $238,217 in LTF as the local match. Request $444,000 in STA Funds to Cover Cost Shortage in Purchasing Paratransit Buses 1) Request"$444,000 in STA funds to cover shortfall in the funding of the cost of replacement buses in FY 2005/06 as well as FY 2007/08. a) In the FY 2005/06 SRTP, SunLine was approved to purchase paratransit buses; nine of which was for replacement buses and two for expansion buses. At the time when the SRTP was approved, the cost per each bus was estimated at $55,000. However, based on the actual cost of $91,000 per bus, the amount approved in the FY 2005/06 SRTP is $396,000 less than the original amount approved. Staff is therefore requesting STA funds in the amount of $396,000 to make up the short fall. b) Staff is also requesting $48,000 in STA funds to make up the difference in the cost of 16 paratransit buses approved in the FY 2007/08 SRTP. The approved amount in the SRTP was $88,000 per bus; however, based on the actual cost per bus which is $91,000, the amount approved in the SRTP is $3,000 less per bus for a total of $48,000 less than the amount approved. Staff is therefore requesting STA funds in the amount of $48,000 to make up the shortfall. Agenda Item 8S 398 As a result of, the additional funding requests above, the Commission needs to approve a budget amendment for the LTF and STA funds.

The JARC provides funding for the development and maintenance of job access projects to transport welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from work during non -.peak hours as well as supply reverse commute options for workers in suburban areas. The New Freedom program provides funding for new public transportation services and alternatives for people with disabilities beyond what is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act . In accordance with the provisions of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), recipients under these programs must comply with all federal coordinated planning requirements to be eligible for funds. The reauthorization stipulates that projects selected for funding under these programs must be derived from a locally coordinated, public transit -human services transportation plan. At its April 2008 meeting, the Commission approved the Riverside County Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan). Approval of the Coordinated Plan allows for the development and release of a call for projects. To streamline the application process, staff created a universal application for the JARC, New Freedom and Measure A program. The $8.4 million call for projects was released last week and applications are due to the Commission by June 16, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. Interim Funding Requests Currently, the 14 funding requests and related agreements approved in 2006 are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2008. Because the applications are due on June 16, 2008, the Commission will not have an opportunity to complete the evaluation of proposals prior to June 30, 2008. Therefore, staff is recommending a conditional interim funding allocation for one quarter in order to ensure that services can continue without disruption. The condition of the allocation relates directly to the submittal of the Commission's Universal Specialized Transit application by June 16, 2008. Therefore, if a current Measure A grantee does not submit by the deadline, then its current contract would not receive the interim funding allocation and would expire on June 30, 2008 consistent with the current term of its contract. Agenda Item 8T 401 • The interim funding allocation amount is $433,481, which reflects the total amount allocated in the last quarter (April -June 2008). The total is delineated in the attachment and is included in the FY 2008/09 Budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State law requires that prior to making any allocations of Local Transportation Fund (LTF) funds 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 where this determination of unmet needs is applicable is the Palo Verde Valley where in prior years not all funds have been needed for transit. In the western County and Coachella Valley, all available local transit funds are being used for transit service. For FY 2008/09, Commission staff projects a total of $1,064,970 in available LTF funds for transit services; of that amount, transit staff has identified the use of approximately $950,954 towards operating and capital costs. Agenda Item 8U 404 The Commission held a public hearing in Blythe on March 6, 2008. Commissioners Joseph DeConinick, Roy Wilson, and Robert Crain; Eunice Lovi, Citizens Advisory Committee member; and Les Nelson, Blythe City Manager and Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA) General Manager, acted as the hearing board. Notice of the public hearing was advertised in the Desert Sun, Palo Verde Valley Times and. the Press Enterprise. Notices of the hearing were delivered and posted at the Blythe Police Department, PVVTA Office, city of Blythe Administrative Offices,_ Palo Verde College and the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services. Flyers in both English and Spanish were posted on transit vehicles and made available to riders. Two people testified at the hearing and three written statements were received regarding transit service needs in the area (Attachment 2). PVVTA and city of Blythe staff determined what improvements were reasonable to meet based on cost and projected productivity. The following is a summary of comments and responses. • Request to extend hours of operation on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - Three comments were received requesting hours of operation be extended to 9:00 p.m. PVVTA staff response - Service previously ran until 10:00 p.m., however ridership was very low and could not justify running the service after 8:30 p.m. - Major trip generators close around 8:00 p.m., therefore, service now runs until 8:30 p.m. • Request that buses pick up passengers en route - One comment was received requesting buses serving Mesa and Ripley pick up passengers en route. PVVTA staff response - For safety and insurance purposes, flag stops are generally not allowed. However, drivers may board passengers in between stops if the driver believes it is safe to do so and with the authorization of a dispatcher. • Request earlier pickup One comment was received requesting that the 2:30 p.m. express bus from Chuckawalla and Ironwood State Prisons to Blythe depart 15 minutes earlier. - PVVTA staff response -Scheduled departure will be adjusted July 1, 2008 with Board approval. Prior to allocating any Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds for street and road purposes, the Commission must adopt by resolution a finding that there are no unmet transit needs that can be reasonably met by existing or proposed service contained in the Short Range Transit Plan for Riverside County.

For safety and insurance purposes, flag stops are generally not allowed. However, drivers are aware to look for passengers who may need to board the bus in between stops. With dispatcher authorization, passengers may board if the driver believes it is safe to do so, or request a supervisor meet with the passenger to assist them. L.

The 1-215 widening project from the 1-15/1-215 separation to Scott Road is partially funded with Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) funding, which requires that the project must be awarded for construction prior to 2011. This project is part of a larger segment of the 1-215 widening project from the 1-15/1-215 separation to Nuevo Road. To expedite the completion of the CMIA funded 1-215 project from the 1-15/1-215 separation to Scott Road, the 1-215 project from Scott Road to Nuevo Road is being executed as a separate project. PBS&J is providing separate PR/ED for the two projects. The PR/ED for the 1-215 project from the 1-15/1-215 separation to Scott Road is scheduled to be completed by December 1,, 2008. The PR/ED for the 1-215 project from Scott Road to Nuevo Road is scheduled to be completed by December 1, 2009. A cooperative agreement with Caltrans is required for any project for which Caltrans will provide oversight." Commission staff has been working with Caltrans District 8 to develop the agreement between the Commission and Caltrans that defines the respective roles and responsibilities of each for the development and approval of a Caltrans PA/ED, PS/E, and ROW acquisition for the 1-215 widening project from the 1-15/1-215 Separation to Scott Road. Commission and Caltrans staffs, including respective legal counsel for each, have agreed to the respective terms of the cooperative agreement. The cooperative agreement for the 1-215 widening project from the 1-15/1-215 separation to Scott Road is for the PA/ED, PS/E, and ROW phases only. Staff requests that the Commission authorize the Executive Director to execute the cooperative agreement and future non -funding related amendments and/or additional cooperative agreement with Caltrans District 8 for the project on behalf of the Commission. Staff further requests that the Commission authorize the Executive Director to execute future non -funding related cooperative agreements and amendments with Caltrans District 8 for the PA/ED, PS/E, ROW, and construction phases of the 1-215 widening project from Scott Road to Nuevo Road in the city of Perris: There is no financial impact related to this cooperative agreement.

SANBAG staff desires to explore similar areas for San Bernardino County to help bridge the funding gap perceived to exist in the development of its upcoming multi -year delivery plan effort. Further, SANBAG staff expressed a strong interest in utilizing the Commission's existing contracts to begin this work in an expedient manner and to leverage the existing work already performed for Riverside County. Staff recommends approving Cooperative Agreement No. 08-31-113-00 between the Commission and SANBAG, which defines consultant contract administration, task management, and payment responsibilities and acknowledges the cooperative efforts desirable to make successful the efforts by both counties. Staff further recommends approval of Agreement No. 06-66-026-05, 06-66-027-17, and 06=66-028-07, amendments to agreements for strategic partnership advisory services, by incorporating the terms of the cooperative agreement between the Commission and SANBAG. Execution of the cooperative agreement and contract amendments has no direct fiscal impact to the Commission and involves only nominal staff time to implement the proposed cooperative agreement and contract amendments.

T h e A g e n d a I t e m 9 4 6 4 conceptual plan also provides the basis for allocating TDA and Measure A funds in Western Riverside County. The intent behind the conceptual planning process is to lay the foundation for creating a vision of transit service for Riverside County. TPC members may recall that the creation of a transit vision was one of the recommendations made in the Commission's FY 2001-03 Triennial Performance Audit. In developing the Transit Vision, the public transit operators and program staff have identified projects, participated in meetings, and discussed the needs for coordination of service, higher frequency service, transit centers, and funding. The ` Transit Vision is also influenced by the recent adoption of the Riverside County Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan), which identified needs to improve coordination between the public transit operators and non-profit human/health service providers in order to provide increased mobility and cost-effective transportation options for seniors, the disabled community, and low-income residents of Riverside County. The primary themes of the Transit Vision are: • Higher Frequency Transit Service; • Information Technology/Information Management; • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through increased productive service and alternative fuels; • Reduction of costs of paratransit service through increased coordination between public transit operators and non-profit providers; • Leverage of Measure A and TDA funds with federal, state, and TUMF fund sources. The public operators and program staff have identified services that total $2.6 billion over the next 10 years: TRANSIT VISION 12009-2019) Estimated Roadmap Initiatives Total Cost (millions) Costs % of Total Bus Transit Improve Quality of Local Bus Service Coachella Valley = $276.9 million' Palo Verde Valley = $15.4 million Western Riverside County = $690 million 'Includes costs for specialized transit in Coachella Valley $982.3 38.4% Increase Express Bus Service Introduce Bus Rapid Transit Coachella Valley = $231.8 million Palo Verde Valley = $3.6 million Western Riverside County = $128.8 million $364.2 14.2% Agenda Item 9 465 Specialized Transit (Western Riverside County only) Improve Choices; for Seniors & Disabled while Reducing Rising Dial -A -Ride Costs $35 1.4% Commuter Rail!, (Western Riverside County Only) Existing Metrolinki Service $771.4 30.2% Expand Metrolink Service $316.3 12.4% Commuter Assistance Program (western Riverside County only) Expand the Carpool Lane System Improve Traffic Flow Through IT Promote Alternatives to Driving Alone $28.6 1 .1 % All Modes and (Programs Link Growth with Transportation Centers/Facilities Coachella Valley = $17.5 million Palo Verde Valley = $2.6 million Western Riverside County = $39 million $59.1 2.3% TOTALS $2,556.9 million 100.0% The Commission's Transit Vision is based on five primary goats: Goal Increase Coordination with the Transit and Rideshare Expected Outcome by 2019 y Rising Costs of ADA trips by 30% T Local & Regional Service by 30% T Ridership by a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10% ,r Rideshare Participation by 20% Community: Transit in Riverside County is provided public, private, and non-profit agencies provide service at and local levels.

Respective regional, municipal, coordination between development of improve service connections, resulting Remove Barriers ,to, Transit Use: Transit passengers T Local & Regional Mobility by 40% T Commuter Rail Service by CAGR 14% T Ridership by CAGR 10% oftentimes face barriers to their mobility when they use transit between cities and regions; when they link transit with other, modes; and when they are unaware of the full range of transportation options. RCTC seeks to partner with the transitoperators to remove these barriers i through improved regional and intermodal mobility, fare integration, internal and external communications, and coordination of transit and rideshare resources. Provide Efficient rand Effective Transit and Rideshare T Cost Effectiveness by 30% T Productivity of Services by 40% T Ridership by. CAGR 10% t Rideshare Participation by 20% Service: RCTC seeks to improve utilization of existing new technology to provide transit and rideshare services. measures, such as the Productivity will be used to evaluate the the initiatives included in the resources and incorporate efficient and effective RCTC performance Improvement Program, outcome of implementing Transit Vision. Agenda Item 9 466 Ensure Adequate Funding: Providing transit and rideshare services for the citizens of Riverside County requires a. predictable and sufficient funding base to meet increasing service needs. Multiple strategies are required, including an allocation of locally generated funds, coordination of transportation funds from. multiple sources, participating in competitive grant application processes, and obtaining continued federal and state support. T Return on Measure A by 25% T Expansion of Services by 30% T Ridership by CAGR 10% Promote Energy Efficiency: In 2006, the State passed the Global Warming Solutions Act, AB32. The programs and services outlined in the Transit Vision provide cost-effective reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG). •le GHG by at least 20% T Alternative Fuels in All Fleets The expected outcomes by 2019 are based upon performance data supplied by the transit operators and the rideshare program. The estimates are conservative and are contingent upon improved coordination between transit operators and hurnan/health service providers to drive down costs and higher frequency bus and rail service. The TDA Funding Allocation Formula to Remain Unchanged The TDA is comprised of two elements: Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) funds. There are three areas of apportionment within Riverside County comprised of Coachella Valley, Palo Verde Valley, and Western Riverside County. LTF funds are derived from '/4 of one cent of the state sales tax and are returned to source/apportionment area. STA funds are generated from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel and are allocated by the state to the Commission on the basis of population and as a percentage of transit fare revenue. In Coachella Valley, 100% of the funds are allocated to the public transit operator, SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine), for capital and operating expenses. In the Palo Verde Valley, LTF funds support transit services and local street and road improvements (upon a demonstration of no unmet transit needs). In Western Riverside County, the funds are allocated between public bus and commuter rail service. In December 2003, the Commission approved a change in the Western Riverside County formula for TDA for bus and commuter rail service to 78% for bus and 22% for commuter rail effective FY 2004/05. The Commission also approved a timeline for the funding formula to be reviewed with proposed changes to be implemented in FY 2009/10.

A g e n d a I t e m 9 4 6 8 Traditionally, these funds are primarily made available to non-profit providers in Western Riverside County. However, the recent Commission adoption of the Coordinated Plan emphasized the need to improve coordination efforts between public transit and human service agencies to address the underserved/unmet transportation needs of seniors, persons with disabilities, and the truly needy. This priority is based on two factors: the forecast population increase for the senior and disabled population (almost 20% of the Riverside County population will be seniors by 2020) and the rising costs of paratransit service for public transit operators. Increasingly, the costs of paratransit or dial -a -ride service continue to outpace the costs of fixed route service, usually at a 2 to 1 ratio. This results in reduced farebox recovery ratios for the transit operators and less efficient service for its customers. Measure A does not mandate a farebox requirement and therefore allows the public transit operator and non-profit more flexibility in the funding of services. Measure A is also considered as local support revenue, which positively affects the farebox ratio. Based upon the Transit Vision goal to reduce the rising costs of paratransit service through increased coordination between public transit operators and non-profit providers, staff recommends a set aside of 25% of the Western Riverside County Specialized Transit Program to RTA as the designated CTSA. These funds would allow for greater efficiency and coordination among the public. transit operators and the non-profit agencies in Western Riverside County through activities such as: • Programs that can direct consumers to the most cost-effective service for their individual needs; and • Increased outreach to Senior Centers and other large dial -a -ride consumers. This set -aside could generate $7 million over the 10-year period. In order to access these funds, RTA would identify the proposed use in its annual Short Range Transit Plan. The adoption of the Coordinated Plan also allows for the receipt of approximately $10 million to Western Riverside County from the new FTA JARC/NF programs over the next 10 years. These funds, along with the remaining 75% of the Western Riverside County Specialized Transit Program would be available for non-profit agencies as well as the public transit operators. Coachella Valley and. Specialized Transit As indicated above, SunLine is the designated CTSA for Coachella Valley. Measure A Ordirance No. 02-001 designates SunLine as the recipient of Public Transit Account (PTA) funds in Coachella Valley to be used to improve and expand public transit and specialized transportation services, which includes coordination Agenda Item 9 469 " " a c t i v i t i e s a m o n g n o n - p r o f i t s o c i a l s e r v i c e o r g a n i z a t i o n s .

Moreover, by taking advantage of existing railways and partnering with neighboring counties, RCTC established a successful commuter rail system, operated by Metrolink, with ridership growing every year. All in all, we have a transportation system to be proud of —one that reflects Riverside County's high quality of life and entrepreneurial spirit. Managing Growth Despite all of the positives, traffic congestion exists today on every Riverside County' freeway and major portions of the roadway system. Riverside County's population and employment will keep growing, and traffic congestion will worsen unless we continue to enhance our transportation facilities and services. Trying to eliminate gridlock by focusing solely on highways is not practical. Building more highways has become very expensive and can take decades - major reasons why, over the past 20 years, the number of motor vehicle -miles traveled has grown some 70 percent while the number of highway -miles has barely changed. 1 This transformation brings challenges since most freeways and roadways have little available right-of-way remaining, leaving limited room to grow. Yet demand for these facilities is projected to keep growing along with population and employment. At the same time, traditional funding sources for public transit and rideshare programs are not keeping pace with growth. Riverside County's local answer to funding needs - the one half -cent sales tax` known as Measure "A" - was renewed by voters in 2002 and now extends through 2039. Driving alone accounts for the highest level of land consumption among all transportation modes. It also generates the highest level of environmental, economic and social impacts. Increasing the use of alternative modes to work (e.g., carpool, transit) is critical to accommodate future growth with less environmental, econornic and social impacts. — State of the Region 2006 (SCAG) page 83 Facing the Future In addition to the daily activities required to keep Riverside County mobile in 2007, the RCTC is planning for the future. In 2006, the Commission approved a 10-year Western Riverside County Highway 'Delivery Plan. The purpose of the Transit Vision is to develop a 10-year county -wide transit and rideshare plan that continues to _promote transportation options for residents, workers, employers, and visitors. • The Transit Vision allows Riverside County residents, businesses, and elected officials to look at the big picture and ask key questions about the future. What will Riverside County look like in 10 years?

Transit Vision Goals The RCTC Transit Vision is based on five primary goals: Goal _ Expected Outcome by 2019 Increase Coordination with the Transit and Rideshare Community: Transit y Rising Costs of ADA trips by 30% T Local & Regional Service by 30% t Ridership by CAGR 10% T Rideshare Participation by 20% in Riverside County is provided by individual public, private, and non-profit organizations. Respective agencies provide service at regional, municipal, and local levels. Enhanced coordination between the multiple providers and development of public/private partnerships could improve service and intermodal and regional connections, resulting in increased ridership. Remove Barriers to Transit Use: Transit passengers oftentimes face T Local & Regional Mobility by 40% t Commuter Rail Service by CAGR 14% t, Ridership by CAGR 10% barriers to their mobility when they use transit between cities and regions; when they link transit with other modes; and when they are unaware of the full range of transportation options. RCTC seeks to partner with the transit operators to remove these barriers through improved regional and intermodal mobility, fare integration, internal and external communications, and coordination of transit and rideshare resources. Provide Efficient and Effective Transit and Rideshare Service: RCTC T Cost Effectiveness by 30% t Productivity of Services by 40% ,r Ridership by CAGR 10% t. Rideshare Participation by 20% seeks to improve utilization of existing resources and incorporate new technology to provide efficient and effective transit and rideshare services. RCTC performance measures, such as the Productivity Improvement Program, will be used to evaluate the outcome of implementing the initiatives included in the Transit Vision. Ensure Adequate Funding: Providing transit and rideshare services for the T Return on Measure "A" by 25% 1% Expansion of Services by 30% ,r Ridership by CAGR 10% citizens of Riverside County requires a predictable and sufficient funding base to meet increasing service needs. Multiple strategies are required, including an allocation of locally generated funds, coordination of transportation funds from multiple sources, participating in competitive grant application processes, and obtaining continued federal and state support. Promote Energy Efficiency: In 2006, the State passed the 4 GHG by at least 20% t Alternative Fuels in All Fleets Global .Warming Solutions Act, AB32. The programs and services outlined in the Transit Vision provide cost-effective reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG).

As a result, someone who is disabled can go to work on his or her own; someone who is aged can shop at the neighborhood; grocery; and someone who is low on cash can get to the doctor. These programs have been successful over the last 20 years in providing improved transit access for western Riverside County residents however more needs to be done. Demand for local bus service has increased steadily over the past 20 years, reaching the current level of 11 million riders (2007), an increase of 116 percent. Today, the fleet of busses and dial -a -ride vehicles has grown to over 370, an increase of 158 percent since Measure "A" passed in 1988. Rail Metrolink operates commuter rail service in Riverside County. Metrolink provides weekday service on three routes through Riverside County: the Riverside Line from Riverside to Los Angeles (12 trains per day), the Inland Empire -Orange County Line from San Bernardino to San Juan Capistrano (16 trains per day); and the 91 Line from Riverside to Los Angeles (nine trains per day). There are five stations (Riverside- Downtown, Pedley, Riverside -La Sierra, West Corona, and North Main Corona) in Riverside County that feed these lines, all ownedand operated by RCTC. Amtrak provides limited long distance passenger rail service, which runs two times a day in each direction through Riverside County although Amtrak trains do not stop' at every RCTC Metrolink station. In just over 15 years since service began, the number of Riverside County riders on Metrolink commuter rail has increased from less than 100,OOO passengers in 1993/94to over 2 million passengers in 2006/07. In fact, the Inland Empire -Orange County Line, is the first suburb -to -suburb commuter rail line in the nation. Rideshare Commuter Assistance, or Rideshare programs to reduce the number of drive -alone travelers on our roadways, is a mandated part of Measure "A". Recognizing the value of providing additional altematives to driving alone, RCTC offers a comprehensive commuter assistance program to meet the needs of local employers and commuters and supports other RCTC services including commuter rail and public transit. Local employers benefit from having a low cost tax free benefit they can offer employees. Large companies who must meet air quality mandates can take advantage of programs that help them fulfill their requirements. Commuters can receive incentives to try ridesharing - everything from carpools and vanpools, to taking Metrolink or riding the bus. There are extensive services that support these programs from ride -matching services, to detailed information on carpool lanes, Park and Ride lots leased by RCTC, and preferred parking at Metrolink stations for those who share the ride to the train.

Demand for local bus service has increased over the past 20 years and a new, component of the fixed route service, known as bus rapid transit (BRT), is being developed. BRT combines the flexibility of a busy system with some of the features that are typical of light rail transit, such as signal priority and fewer stops. Metrolink commuter rail ridership .has also grown every year since service began in 1993. In fact, the Metrolink 91 Line is one of the most productive in the regional Metrolink system. Expansion of Metrolink service within Riverside County, including CommuterLink feeder service, is a critical component of the Transit Vision. RCTC is also exploring its role in various high-speed rail and Maglev proposals: that would connect Riverside County with surrounding counties and regions. There are several trends that will affect the demand for transit in the future. Most significant are the anticipated increases in population and employment (43 percent and 58 percent respectively). This growth will drive demand for increased transit services. It is noteworthy that the number of Riverside County residents 65 years and older is projected to nearly double between 2005 and 2030. While this segment of our population is not necessarily frail and transit -dependent as a whole, it is likely that many 65 and older residents will require greater, specialized transit. Emergence of Paratransit Needs Curb -to -curb paratransit service (Dial -A -Ride) is provided for people unable to use the fixed -route bus service due to a disability. RCTC anticipates that demand for paratransit type services will increase substantially over the next 25 years, partially due to the needs of our growing senior population. Unfortunately, the operating costs for Dial -a -Ride services are the highest in the industry. Rising costs coupled with a growing target market are threats to sustainability of this type of service. Quality of Life Issues: Congestion & Air Quality Over 1/3`d of the air pollutants we breathe in are from transportation sources. The rapidly worsening traffic congestion poses ongoing air quality challenges and health threats to the public particularly to children, the elderly, and other at -risk groups.5 In. 2005, workers in Riverside County continued to have the highest average travel time to work in the region, almost 32 minutes, while Imperial had the lowest at 19 minutes. The State average is 27 minutes and the national average is 25 minutes. Highway congestion causes delays affecting personal mobility & goods movement & results in increased economic & social costs. The number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) indicates the overall level of highway & automobile usage, & is directly related to mobile source emissions.6 5 Resolving Regional Challenges Fact Sheet "Traffic Congestion & Air Quality', Spring 2007, SCAG 8 State of the Region 2006, SCAG, pg 86 Draft — Transit Vision 481 " E n e r g y E f f i c i e n c y E n e r g y u s e i n C a l i f o m i a i s p r i m a r i l y f o s s i l - f u e l b a s e d ( i . e . p e t r o l e u m , n a t u r a l g a s & c o a l ) .

As part of a continuous effort to explore transportation alternatives for passengers that use the bus system, a new component of the fixed route bus service, known as BRT, is being introduced. BRT combines the flexibility of a bus system with some of the features that are typical of light rail transit, such as transit signal priority (extends green lights several seconds to allow BRT vehicles to pass through the intersection), queue jump lanes (give BRT vehicles a separate lane at intersections that allows them to enter the intersection prior to regular through traffic), and dedicated mid -block lanes for BRT service. BRT proposals are underway at both RTA and SunLine to provide passengers with improved travel time and better connectivity for easier and more convenient access to the bus system and other modes. Examples of proposed routes are below: RTA BRT Limited Service ■ 10-minute service frequency ■ Magnolia Avenue/6`h Street ■ Riverside/Moreno Valley • 1-15 Corridor * SunLine Transit Agency BRT Limited Service • Hwy 111 between Indio & Palm Springs Draft — Transit Vision 11 483 " S P E C I A L I Z E D T R A N S I T I m p r o v e C h o i c e s f o r S e n i o r s a n d t h e D i s a b l e d w h i l e R e d u c i n g D i a l - A - R i d e C o s t s .

Many such measures passed and have become a significant source of funds for roadway, highway, and transit projects, allowing local residents to better control their own transportation destiny. Measure "A° allocates all sales tax revenues to specific Riverside County transportation improvement projects in three major areas -freeways, roadways, and transit. The Measure specifically identifies by apportionment area and purpose: Coachella Valley — Bus Transit.

Use of public transit and rideshare helps to improve congestion and air quality and decrease energy consumption. Performance Metric: Improve Mobility Every resident! worker, and visitor needs the ability to travel an integrated and seamless Riverside County transportation network safely and with minimal congestion. Mobility is the ultimate purpose of . Riverside County's transportation system and Measure "A". Improving mobility is the comerstone of the Vision Plan, and its primary goal Objectives • Offer safe and reliable choices • Provide an accessible transportation network • Minimize congestion • Develop an integrated transportation network We accomplish the goal and objectives by: • Investing in many modes, such as buses and vans, BRT, commuter rail, and bikeways • Making (transit more efficient, by transitioning high ridership bus lines to BRT, or limited stop service, and using express buses on the carpool lane network; • Expanding Metrolink to provide a fast, reliable transit backbone within Riverside County • Informing people of available services and their respective travel time reliability using new technology; and • Continuing integrated transportation solutions, such as coordinating CommuterLink and Metrolink schedules, universal fare system, and expanding transit centers that serve multiple modes of transportation. Draft — Transit Vision 18 490 How do we measure progress? If we can maintain or reduce the average time it takes someone to get to their destination — whether traveling by automobile or transit — then we are making progress. For automobiles, travel time is typically measured by freeway peak speeds, non- freeway travel speeds, and average trip length. In certain instances, the funding source mandates specific measurements such as a farebox recovery ratio of 20 percent. All transit programs will continue to be analyzed using the Commission adopted Productivity Improvement Program in order to measure cost-effectiveness and productivity. In addition, the Commuter Assistance Program has established key performance indicators to measure performance. Performance Metric: Protect our transportation resources Riverside County residents have invested in building transportation systems. Protecting our transportation resources by maintaining this system, and finding cost effective solutions to improve its efficiency, is a key goal of the Vision Plan. Objectives • Use the existing transportation network efficiently • Maintain our infrastructure • Promote cost effective and multi -modal solutions • Explore creative solutions We accomplish this goal and objectives by: • Expanding Metrolink service within Riverside County; • Supporting continued state funding for freeway maintenance; • Funding/supporting projects that incorporate innovative technology and integrate between modes; • Ensuring that we get our fair share of state and federal dollars for transportation; and • To the extent possible pursue private sector funding and public/private partnerships in order to better supplement and leverage state and federal transportation dollars. How do we measure progress? Growth of projects that maximize and maintain the existing system will be evidence of progress in protecting our resources, such as expansion of signal synchronization and adequate maintenance for optimal operation along major travel routes, or added Metrolink services on Riverside County's three rail lines. Additionally, we will see local dollars designated for pavement maintenance and new local funds to match state and federal dollars. Performance Metric: Enhance the quality of life Not only is mobility integral to quality of life, but the actions of improving mobility have a ripple effect on issues such as job creation, better goods movement, and community enhancement. Therefore, enhancing the quality of life in Riverside County is an important goal of the Vision Plan.

The Transit Vision also includes considerable investment in maintaining our transportation networks. Public transit and rideshare will continue to play a vital role in meeting the mobility challenges of Riverside County citizens. Initiatives included in the Transit Vision will complement RCTC's overall 10-year Delivery Plan for Measure "A". Collectively, the projects in the Transit Vision will minimize increases in congestion and travel time. The goal is to promote mobility and economic growth while minimizing community and environmental impacts. As the elements of the Transit Vision become reality, each project- whether a new bus line, rail car, coordinated signal, carpool lane, or pavement repair project — will contribute to our quality of life and help make Riverside County great place to live, work, and visit. To support the Transit Vision, the recommendation is for the Commission to: 1) Continue the existing funding formula for the Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds [Local Transportation Funds (LTF) and State Transit Assistance Funds (STA)j: Coachella Valley —100% Public Bus Operator; Palo Verde Valley —100% Public Bus Operator (subject to the statutory "unmet needs hearing"); Western Riverside County — 78% Public Bus and 22% Commuter Rail Operator; 2) Establish a funding formula for the Western Riverside County "Public Transit Account" of Measure A Ordinance No. 02-001: Allocate the Commuter Rail and Intercity Bus Service funds - 80% Commuter Rail and 20% Western Riverside County Public Bus Operators; Allocate 25% of Western Riverside County Specialized Transit funds to the Riverside Transit Agency as the Consolidated Transportation Service Agency for Western Riverside County; and 3) Approve a timeline for the TDA and Measure A funding formulas to be reviewed in FY2018/19 with proposed changes to be implemented in FY2020/21.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The County, acting as the project sponsor, was awarded $10 million in Trade Corridor Improvement Funds (TCIF) for the I-215/Van Buren interchange, which has an estimated total project cost of $97.5 million. As part of the TCIF approval process, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) requires that all highway projects have a baseline agreement in place by July 2008. In order to complete the agreement process, any project that has unsecured funding must have a back-up funding planapproved by the project sponsor's policy board. To assist in securing the necessary funding, Resolution No. 2008-279 was approved at the June 3, 2008 Board of Supervisor's meeting to request an "off the top" allocation of $10 million in 2009 Measure A Economic Development funding in support of the 1-215/Van Buren interchange. The County request has been forwarded to the Commission for action. The economic development incentives program was developed to attract new commercial and industrial development as well as jobs to Riverside County. The expansion of the I-215/Van Buren interchange will provide critical access to the March Inland Cargo Port Airport and the Meridian Business Park, which will create an estimated 15,000 jobs in Riverside County. Agenda Item 10 494 While staff is in support of the request, staff would like to remind the Commission that the 2009 MeasureA ordinance estimated a total of $40 million for economic development. In addition, staff does not anticipate a call for projects for this category prior to 2009. At the December 2007 Commission meeting, $1'0 million of the $40 million estimated funding was allocated to the Jurupa Road grade separation in support of the Grade Separation Funding Strategy and TCIF application process. Once the request in support of the I-215/Van Buren interchange is approved, a balance of $20 million will remain for economic development. The County has also stated its request for prioritization of the 60/215 East Junction project in light of projected state funding shortfalls. As state budgetdecisions are made in the coming months, staff will provide options for alternative funding, if necessary, to ensure that the project remains on schedule.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: That the Board join me in adopting Resolution 2008- 279 requesting funding from the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for the Van Buren/1-215 Interchange Expansion Project. BACKGROUND: The Interchange Expansion at Van Burenll-215 is one of the most important mobility projects in the County since it provides needed capacity for the completion of the Meridian Business Park, which will be the single largest employment center in Riverside County, creating close to 15,000 jobs. The California Transportation Commission has recently indicated that they intend to provide $10 million in funding for this project from the Trade Corridor Improvement Fund (TCIF) Program. The total cost of the project is estimated at $97.5 million. Staff from the Transportation Department and the March JPA have been working on identifying all of the funding for this major investment. Although significant progress has been made, further funding assistance is needed. When the voters approved the extension of Measure 'A' (1/2 cents sales tax) in 2002; the program included a set -aside of approximately $40 million for an 'Economic Incentives Program' to attract new commercial and industrial development that will bring jobs to Riverside County. The jobs created by the Meridian Business Park will cut down on the traffic that has to use our freeways to access job centers in L.A. or Orange County and significantly improves our quality of life on many fronts (congestion relief, air quality, etc.). RCTC has committed $10 million out of the Economical Development Funds to Railroad Grade Separations funded by TCIF. It would therefore be appropriate to seek a commitment of $10 million towards the Van Buren/1-215 Project. Securing these funds •from RCTC now will help to reduce the funding shortfall on this project and strengthen our availability to receive $10 million in T:CIF State funds. 460L Q r� Bob Buster Supervisor, 1m District initials dip i; 8' 0 o_ a ❑ ❑ c c m in w 0 e c O 0 U U ❑ ❑ Dept Recomm.: O ro x 41 m a Prev.

T h e r e f o r e , A g e n d a I t e m 1 1 5 0 0 staff recommends the Commission adopt a SUPPORT position on AB 3034. This recommended action is not an endorsement of the bond act itself: AB 996 — Local Assemblyman's Bill Would Allow Enforcement ;of Toll Violators: Support with Amendments Assemblyman. Todd Spitzer (R-Orange), whose district encompasses_ Western Riverside County including State Route 91, has introduced legislation that will allow government agencies to enforce traffic, parking, and toll road violations committed by individuals enrolled in the state's Confidential Records Program (CRP). The CRP is mainly utilized by law enforcement officers to keep sensitive information such as addresses and phone numbers out of public view. However, this programcurrently inhibits agencies from accessing DMV records of CRP enrollees to process traffic, parking, and toll violations. This issue was brought to light by a series of Orange County Register articles that highlighted over 14,000 violations on the SR-91 express lanes by CRP participants. While the actual costs of these violations is difficult to precisely calculate, the bill brings forth the problem that certain individuals are able to evade paying tolls and fines. While the Commission is not directly affected by this legislation today, the Commission is planning on being a toll road owner and operator in the near future. This legislation would allow the Commission to recoup revenues from toll violators who are enrolled in the CRP program. Commission staff recommends an amendment to the bill which would allow an agent of local governments (i.e., a contracted entity with responsibility for processing toll payments) to access the DMV records on behalf of agencies. For example, on the current SR-91 express lanes, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) does not directly process toll violations; those activities are carried out by a contract operator. Assemblyman Spitzer has requested the Commission support AB 996. Staff recommends the Commission adopt a SUPPORT WITH AMENDMENTS position on the bill. AB 1646 — SCAQMD Sponsors Bill to Reauthorize Existing Clean Fuels Program: Support Currently the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) collects a $1 ` fee on all vehicles registered within the South Coast air basin to support the development and implementation of lower emitting technologies. SCAQMD claims that since 1988, it has leveraged $140 million in Clean Fuels funds to obtain an additional $448 million in matching funds from the private sector, universities, and the federal government — raising the value of the program to $588 million.

The fee has a sunset date of 2017. Revenues would be fire -walled from. the general fund for goods movement infrastructure projects with a 2% administrative cap. The bill prescribes that revenues are spent on a return to source basis on the corridor on which the fees are collected. The legislation also delineates how revenues are spent on corridors that cross state boundaries. Corridors are defined as 300 miles from the port of entry, and must be defined by. the Secretary of Transportation after soliciting public input. Projects funded by the National Trade Gateway Corridor Fee would be selected by states according to national guidelines promulgated by the US Department of Transportation. The bill requires that states develop a project selection .process in consultation with local governments, regional planning organizations, private sector, and port authorities. The bill also requires that project selection is competitive according to a, rating process. As with other federal programs, there is an 80% maximum federal share on projects funded from the fee. The principles of this bill are consistent with the Commission's adopted federal legislative platform, which states that the Commission will support federal policies that provide "Specialized funding for goods movement projects of international and national significance that are beyond the funding ability or responsibility of local and state transportation programs and budgets." H.R. 5102 creates a dedicated funding stream for goods movement infrastructure projects, filling a significant gap in the federal role in our nation's transportation system. Congressman. Calvert's bill protects user fee revenues from earmarking by Congress. The revenue is directly remitted back to the states minus 2% for administrative costs. This ensures that money is spent according to the locations of trade impacts on projects of the highest merit. Because H.R. 5102 is a national program, it does not face the same interstate commerce legal issues that recent California legislation has faced. However, there is not yet consensus that the legislation as written today would avoid legal challenges altogether. The bill also raises questions of federal preemption of existing fees at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach for various local programs that have been enacted there. Another challenge for the bill is the short horizon for the fee. With less than 10 years of revenue possible, it may be difficult to bond against future revenue. The importance of the H.R. 5102 lies in the action taken by a local congressional representative on a national issue of great local importance. The Commission's message to Washington has .focused on the need for a greater federal role in the funding of goods movement infrastructure. Congressman Calvert's bill is one possible answer to that increased federal role.

WHAT IS METROLINK? Metrolink is truly a united effort, made possible by RCTC, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) and the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC). In 1991, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), a Joint Powers Authority ()PA), consisting of the five county transportation planning agencies listed above, was formed to develop a regional transit service to reduce the congestion on highways and improve mobility throughout the Southern California region. In October 1992, Metrolink was born. Today, in its 15th year of operation, Metrolink continues to provide the people of Southern California a safe, reliable and environmentally friendly commute option.What began with three lines of service, 12 stations and a little over 5,000 passengers per day, has grown to seven lines, 55 stations and 44,000 passengers per day. The Metrolink locomotives currently used in Riverside County are powered by ultra low - sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) and considered the cleanest and most efficient fuel available today for liquid -fueled locomotives. The Perris Valley Line estimates a project cost of $168 million. In Riverside County, Metrolink train stations are own ed, operated and maintained by RCTC which includes the provision of on -site security. In some cases, municipal partners have provided land, funding or other support for individual train stations. WILLTHE IMPROVED RAIL FACILITIES RESULT IN MORE FREIGHTTRAINS? The Perris Valley Line will run on existing freight tracks that were purchased by RCTC in 1992. As part of the purchase agreement, the Burlington Northern, Santa Fe (BNSF) railway retains exclusive freight operating rights over the tracks although Metrolink trains will receive priority. Some residents have asked if the investment in upgrading the tracks could attract additional freight demand on the line which led RCTC to commission a comprehensive study on future freight demand. The final results of the study indicate that economic factors play a much larger role in freight demand than track improvements. SCHEDULE • Begin Public Outreach • Identify and Evaluate Alternatives • Recommend Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) • Continue Public Outreach • Re -adopt LPA in Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) • Enter "New Starts" Program • Approval of Alternatives Analysis (AA) Received from FTA under"Small Starts', a part of "New Starts' Freight trains can and have used the tracks for quite some time. The findings showed that the line currently nas about tnree roundups per day. Eight shippers have spur lines south of Eastridge Avenue. The largest single shipper on the line is a lumber operation, but future growth in shipments will depend on construction industry demand. The study indicates that planned track improvements may allow BNSF to operate at slightly higher speeds, but the time savings are negligible compared to the time taken up by local switching activities and the time spent on overall travel from distant locales.

Thousands of people each day take the train from stations in Riverside, Corona, and Pedley to locations in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. With gasoline prices continuing to rise, the number of commuters turning to the train instead of their cars is continuing to grow. In spite of the strong support, the biggest challenge that faces Metrolink and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is in bringing the service to more people in order to attract new riders and provide another option to driving. The good news is that help is on the way and Metrolink trains should soon be traveling an additional 23 miles into Riverside County in order to serve more communities, residents and employers. THE PERRISVALLEY LINE The PerrisValley Line (PVL) will extend existing Metrolink service 23 miles further into Riverside County directly serving the communities of Riverside, Moreno Valley and Perris. The train service would extend the existing Metrolink 91 Line, which currently runs to Fullerton and Los Angeles, along existing freight train tracks that are located near the 1-215 and have been in existence for more than 120 years. Potential new train stations could serve major employers such as UC Riverside and March Air Reserve Base. HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED? The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recently gave the Riverside County Transporta- tion Commission the go ahead to move forward with the next stage of project development to advance the Perris Valley Line. In doing so, the FTA evaluated the cost-effectiveness of the project and bestowed its second highest possible rating, medium -high. Along with the rating, the project has been identified for $50 million in federal funding in the Fiscal Year 2008/09 budget. The next step in the project is to launch the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. As part of this effort, RCTC will be hosting a series of two public information meet- ings to share the latest plans for the project and to obtain public input. We are interested in your views regarding the service and station locations and their potential impacts.The times and locations of these meetings are listed below.

Seven proposed Metrolink stations are planned at important locations along the Perris Valley Line, including major employment centers such as Hunter Park, the University of California, Riverside, Meridian Business Park and March Air Reserve Base.The southern rail terminus is planned for South Perris at the junction of State Route 74, Interstate 215, and Ethanac Road. This station will provide easy access from both the Hemet and San Jacinto areas from the east and the Temecula and Murrieta communities from the south.The proposed stations will be constructed in phased priority. The station priority will be determined by the Commission in the summer of 2008 with the feedback received from the community, the cost effectiveness of each station, ridership and land use. PROPOSED STATIONS UC RIVERSIDE STATION • The Perris Valley Line will be the first line in the Metrolink system to directly serve a UC campus. • UC Riverside is the UC system's fastest growing campus in terms of enrollment.The enrollment is just under 17,000 students and is expected to exceed 22,000 by 2015. • The campus is home to 5,500 staff and 1,100 faculty members, making the campus one of the region's largest employers. • The Perris Valley Line right-of-way, which is owned by RCTC, includes room for a smaller drop-off only station that would serve the university's students, faculty, staff and neighborhood residents and could reduce the number of car trips on congested nearby streets such as University Avenue. MORENOVALLEYI MARCH FIELD STAT I O N • This station commuters will serve Moreno Valley and will serve as an important destination station. The star on site will be adjacent to the Meridian Business Park and minutes from the March Air Reserve Base. • The site of the March Air Reserve Base is being transformed into a major- employment, business and logistics center. The location of the station will increase the attractiveness of the area for potential employers and aid economic development initiatives.

Mansa PERRIS STATION AND HISTORIC PERRIS DEPOT • The City of Perris is actively working to encourage transit - oriented development in the Downtown area. The location provides a unique combination of historical buildings and modern development and will include a multi -modal transit center to serve Metrolink trains and RTA buses, as well as a park and ride lot. • The operation of a successful transportation facility in this area provides yet another public amenity to the area which is served by the Civic Center, sheriff and fire facilities, banks, and restaurants. •The bus and park and ride portion of the multi -modal center will begin construction in 2008 and will open in 2009, prior to the beginning of Metrolink service. SOUTH PERRIS STATION • The South Perris Station will serve as an important gateway linking Metrolink to the southern portions of Riverside County. The station's location provides easy access for many residents and is near the SR 74/1-215 interchange which is being expanded and improved prior to the start of Metrolink service. • This station will serve commuters from the Hemet, San Jacinto,Temecula and Murrieta areas. • The location in South Perris also includes space for overnight storage of the trains. HOW IS THE PERRIS VALLEY LINE A GOOD NEIGHBOR? The Riverside County Transportation Commission will work closely and proactively with the community as the rail line transitions from the current few freight trains per day to shared commuter rail service and freight service. The PVL project will consider- a comprehensive strategy using appropriate safety measures that will systematically reduce the opportunity for accidents at grade crossings. Possible enhancements include median separators or raised islands, driveway closures, full crossing protection, and Operation Lifesaver education in local schools. Regarding noise mitigation, over 75% of the Perris Valley Line is already grade -separated by the 1-215 freeway, but there are at -grade crossings in Riverside and Perris. As part of the Perris multi -modal transit center, the City of Perris has agreed to close an at -grade crossing. WHO CAN I CONTACT ABOUTTHE PERRISVALLEY LINE PROJECT?
