A g e n d a I t e m 7 D 1 0 At its November 9, 2005 meeting, the Commission nominated the Greenway Corridor project for consideration in the 2005 STIP as an enhancement to the PVL. The TE funds were requested in the amount of $1,179,000 with the Commission providing an equal local match. These local funds will be used for the design portion of this Greenway Corridor project. The Greenway Corridor project would beautify segments of the PVL with scenic improvements including decorative trees, shrubs, and walkways, thus increasing access options to the stations and improving the esthetic character of the rail transit corridor. In addition, the grant may be used for other enhancements at the stations that would benefit pedestrian and bicycle access. These could include expanded shelters, benches, bike lockers, kiosks, and other station improvements. It is recognized that the Greenway Corridor project will require involvement with local jurisdictions, local agencies, community organizations, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway on elements of design and maintenance. It would be impractical to separate the Greenway Corridor project outreach from the outreach that is being undertaken as part of the PVL project. It is therefore the intent of staff to integrate the Greenway Corridor project with the PVL project to promote a comprehensive approach and avoid redundancy, delays, and waste that might result from selecting a fragmented delivery methodology. It is anticipated that the Greenway Corridor project elements will qualify for categorical exemption under both California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). At its September 12, 2007 meeting, the Commission, as a result of a competitive solicitation, awarded Agreement No. 07-33-123-00 to STV for planning, environmental, and preliminary engineering services for the PVL project. The not to exceed amount of the original contract was $12 million plus a contingency fund in the amount of $5.3 million to provide for $1.5 million in general contingency, $1 million for final design, and $2.8 million for consultant support during construction. The anticipated contract duration, including construction support services, was 37 months. On August 5, 2008, Amendment No. 1 was executed to allow STV to obtain railway flagging services from J.L. Patterson and Associates, Inc, a STV subconsultant. The railway flagging services were necessary for the field investigations along the PVL alignment and to supplement BNSF Railway flaggers. The funding for this amendment was drawn from the contingency amount established in original agreement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The FTA Section 5310 program provides capital assistance grants to private non- profit social service and qualified public agencies for the purchase of vehicles and equipment to support transportation services for the elderly and persons with disabilities where existing transportation is unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate. Program funds are allocated on the basis of the number of elderly and persons with disabilities in each state and are allocated to sub -recipients within the state through a statewide competition. Beginning FFY 2008, projects funded by the Section 5310 program must be derived from a locally developed Coordinated Public Transit -Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan). The Commission approved the Coordinated Plan for Riverside County at its April 2008 meeting. FTA funds 88.53% of project cost and requires at least 11.47% in local match. For the state of California, approximately $12.1 million is available for programming for the FFY 2008 grant cycle. Local Review Committees in each county quantitatively evaluate all applications submitted for their area, rank them using Agenda Item 7G 37 state -mandated criteria, and submit the scores to, Caltrans headquarters for the statewide competition. For FFY 2008/09, the Commission's evaluation committee was comprised of Michelle 'Anglin, a member of the Citizens' Advisory Committee/Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (CAC/SSTAC); Mary Jo Ramirez, Care -A -Van, a non-profit agency; Mark Stanley, Riverside Transit Agency; and Fina Clemente, Commission staff. A total of seven agencies located in Riverside County submitted grant applications requesting $1,091,562 in total funding for 20 projects consisting of nine replacement vehicles, eight expansion vehicles, wheelchair restraints, and new computer equipment. The Committee met and scored the projects on August 5, 2008. ThepProposed Regional Priority List (pending Commission approval) for Riverside County listing the final scores, is attached. All applicants have been notified of the project scores and were given the opportunity to appeal, of which none have been received. It is anticipated that the California Transportation Commission will adopt the final list of projects in January, 2009. The Commission is also required to include the awarded projects in the RTIP and certify by resolution that the projects are derived from a locally developed, coordinated public transit -human services transportation plan. There is no impact to the Commission budget as Section 5310 funds are disbursed by Caltrans directly to the recipients.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Commission does hereby certify and resolve as follows: Section 1. The Commission has determined that the locally evaluated projects approved by the Committee for Section 5310 funding are derived from the Riverside County Public Transit — Human Services Transportation Coordinated Plan (adopted by the Commission on April 9, 2008). 39 Section 2. Each of the projects awarded Section 5310 funding by Ca!trans will be included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program adopted for Riverside County. APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 8th day of October, 2008.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its July 2008 meeting, the Commission approved a total of $18,574,349 in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 funds and $27,830,917 in LTF funds for RTA through the SRTP allocation process. Unfortunately, approval of the federal funding programs has been delayed and as a result, RTA is projecting an operating shortfall of $10,783,778 from December 1, 2008 to July 1, 2009, as LTF will not be sufficient to make up for the delay in Section 5307 fund receipts. In discussion with Commission staff, RTA was advised about the possibility of advancing additional LTF fund to support the operating cash shortfall. In response, RTA staff has analyzed its financial data and provided Commission staff with the appropriate cash forecasts. Commission staff has reviewed RTA's forecasts and conceptually concurs with these amounts. Agenda Item 7H 42 DISCUSS/ON: At the September 3, 2008, RTA Budget and Finance Committee meeting, the Committee approved a recommendation to its Board of Directors to authorize staff to prepare a request to advance the funds and forward it to the Commission. RTA's Board of . Directors is expected to approve this item at its September 18, 2008 meeting. There are adequate LTF funds available to cover this request. In the past, the Commission has approved advances and loans such as this for similar cash flow circumstances. While having done so, an action such as this does represent a deviation from Commission policy and as such, these matters will continue to be brought forth by staff for action each time that such a request is made. Commission staff also advised RTA that conditions (should the action be approved by the Commission) would be placed on the advance of funds. Specifically, 1) the RTA Board of Directors would have to formally approve the request and submit it to the Commission; 2) funds would be advanced monthly based on the demonstration of need and not advanced in a lump sum; 3) advanced funds would be immediately paid back in full upon receipt of the Section 5307 funds. Staff is also requesting an amendment to RTA's SRTP for FY 2008/09 to accommodate an amendment request by RTA for the restructuring of routes 32 and 42. This is being done to enhance transit service to meet the needs of the San Jacinto Unified School District student population as well as the growing areas of the San Jacinto community near Cottonwood Avenue and Kirby Street. This will necessitate route deviations on selected weekday trips to local schools in the district. The restructuring of RTA routes 32 and 42 will result in an additional 725 revenue hours and 26,000 revenue miles to the operating statistics previously budgeted in the FY 2008/09 SRTP. RTA is requesting an additional $53,287 in LTF funds for FY 2008/09 to cover additional operating expenses for the proposed service changes.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its September 10 meeting, the Commission approved Resolution 08-023, "A Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Initiating an Amendment of the Riverside County Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance (Ordinance No. 88-1) And Making Findings of Necessity for Such Amendment". The resolution language incorporated language that the Commission received from CVAG, which inadvertently omitted the section of Gene Autry Trail between East Palm Canyon Drive and Ramon Road. This agenda item corrects page 3, item 1 to include the missing portion of Gene Autry Trail as follows: 1. In Palm Springs, from the intersection of East Palm Canyon Drive 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 1 1 1 alignment to Interstate 10. In addition, on page 1 a correction to Seat Palm Canyon Drive will be made to reflect East Palm Canyon Drive. Upon approval by the Commission, staff will forward the corrected resolution to the cities and county for approval.

A third party liquidity facility in the form of a $190 million direct pay letter of credit was obtained from Bank of America, N.A. to support the commercial paper program in the rare event that the commercial paper could not be rolled over by the commercial paper dealers. Under the executed dealer agreements, Lehman and BAS had authorization to serve as dealer of commercial paper up to $110 million and $75 million, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of future interest rates in connection with anticipated long-term debt issuances, staff and its financial advisor, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (Fieldman), recommended an interest rate swap strategy to insulate the Commission's 2009 Measure A financing program against future interest rate volatility. Many of the state's self-help counties engaged in similar transactions, including San Diego Association of Governments and Contra Costa Transportation Authority. In July 2006, following a presentation on the swap strategy that included an overview of the incremental risks assumed, the Commission authorized the execution of swap transaction documents with the successful counterparties. In late August 2006, following a bid process, the interest rate swap agreements were awarded to Bank of America and LBDP for $100 million and $85 million, respectively. These swaps were considered forward -starting interest rate swaps to become effective on October 1, 2009, when the Commission anticipated issued at least $185 million of variable rate long-term debt to refinance the commercial paper program. The swaps provided that the Commission would receive 67% of one month LIBOR (generally equivalent to the rate on floating rate bonds) and would pay 3.679% on the outstanding amount. RECENT EVENTS: At its April 2008 Commission meeting, staff requested direction from the Commission regarding efforts to develop a plan to refinance the outstanding commercial paper due to the low remaining capacity in the commercial paper program to commit to funding additional project efforts in FY 2008/09 and beyond. With the Commission's authorization in May 2008, the Commission issued $126,395,000 in bonds to refinance $110 million in outstanding commercial paper. At that time, staff and Fieldman provided a report on the credit market environment resulting from the credit crisis and the reliance on sub -prime mortgages for the U.S. housing market. The environment had significantly affected municipal bond insurers, the demand for auction rate securities (a form of variable rate debt), and the availability of traditional bank liquidity. The effect on major investment banks soon followed with the collapse of Bear, Stearns & Co. and exit of UBS Securities LLC from the municipal market. In mid -September, the municipal market was Agenda Item 8 • • • 52 " " " s t u n n e d b y t h e b a n k r u p t c y f i l i n g o f L e h m a n B r o t h e r s H o l d i n g s a n d t h e s a l e o f M e r r i l l L y n c h & C o . t o B a n k o f A m e r i c a , l e a v i n g f o u r m a j o r i n v e s t m e n t b a n k s .

At a special meeting on September 22, 2008, the Commission concurred with staff's recommendation to enter into a new swap agreement with another counterparty at the current market rate as of the termination date and approved Resolution No. 08-025, "Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Authorizing the Executive Director or Designee to Enter into a Replacement Forward -Starting Interest Rate Swap Agreement and Approve Other Documents Related to the Replacement Swap Transaction." If the Commission had only elected to make the termination payment, it would have foregone an opportunity to take advantage of the lower interest rate. If the Commission had entered into a new swap agreement with Bank of America, this would have resulted in a concentration of counterparty risk with a single entity. The assignment of the swap to a new counterparty did not prove to be a viable option after all. The replacement swap agreement was executed on September 24, 2008, with Deutsche Bank at a fixed interest rate of 3.206%. The agreement was not significantly different from the agreement executed with Bank of America in August 2006. Additionally, Deutsche Bank met the Commission's swap policy credit rating of AA-/Aa3 with a rating of AA-/Aa1. While the resolution of the interest rate swap termination was a significant issue, the Commission must also address the status of Lehman as a commercial paper dealer. Due to BAS's strong performance as a dealer, staff has elevated BAS as the senior commercial paper dealer responsible for $1 10 million of the commercial paper and will execute an amendment to the dealer agreement. As to filling the co -dealer position, the Commission may assign the agreement to Barclays as successor to Lehman, enter into a new agreement with one of the remaining underwriters selected by the Commission in September 2004, amend the BAS agreement for the entire $185 million of commercial paper, or conduct a procurement of additional firms to identify a second commercial paper dealer. Since the Commission currently has $90 million of commercial paper outstanding and the Lehman transactions can be rolled over to BAS for the next several months, the sense of urgency regarding the commercial paper dealer issue is not as great as the interest rate swap termination issue. As noted above, staff consulted with Orrick and Fieldman for bond counsel and swap financial advisory services. These services, as well as the swap payment, were not included in the FY 2008/09 budget, and staff recommends budget adjustments of $3,453,000 and $90,000 for interest and for legal and professional services expenditures, respectively.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The impact of delays caused by freight trains traveling through Riverside County is one of the area's most pressing transportation concerns. Almost all freight rail traffic in Riverside County is from trains passing through. In 2003, three million tons of rail freight moved to or from destinations in Riverside County. By contrast, 68 million tons of rail freight — almost 23 times the local amount — passed through the county. By 2030, it is estimated that almost $400 billion worth of goods will flow through the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The cumulative impact of freight rail growth makes quality of life issues a top priority for communities that are faced with traffic delays, disruptions to public safety, and emergency responses as well as an increase in harmful emissions, impacting public health. There are 61 at -grade Alameda Corridor East (ACE) crossings in Riverside County. These crossings present conflicts between rail and highway traffic and are located on the main lines of either the Union Pacific (UP) or Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroads. In October 2005, the Commission requested that staff develop a funding strategy to construct railroad grade separations. During its April 2006 meeting, the Commission ranked the 61 railroad crossings into five priority tiers based upon a set of criteria that included traffic congestion, safety, air quality, noise, and local community preferences. At that time, the Commission identified 28 crossings that were ranked in the top two tiers as the highest priority for grade separations. Based on funding availability as well as project deliverability, the 2008 Funding Strategy: A Blueprint for Advancing Projects identifies three Agenda Item 9 56 additional projects for addition to the priority list: Avenue 52, Avenue 56/Airport Boulevard, and Avenue 66. Since the 2006 funding strategy was developed, much progress has been made. Two projects — Avenue 48/Dillon Road and Jurupa Avenue — will be completed in late 2008 or early 2009. In addition, $152.7 million in Proposition 1B funding for 12 railroad grade separations in Riverside County was secured; while significant, much work remains to be done in securing additional funding. The cost of constructing grade separations at the 31 priority locations is currently estimated at $1.7 billion, yet only a small portion of those funds are currently committed through federal, state and local funding sources. As a result, Commission staff working with agency staffs from the cities of Banning, Corona, Riverside, the County of Riverside and the Coachella Valley Association of Governments, identified 20 of the 31 projects as the top priority for the 2008 funding strategy. All 20 of the projects have identified some level of funding and are in various stages of project development. The 20 priority crossings in the 2008 strategy have an estimated project cost of $980.5 million. While the revised strategy identifies the use of Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees, it also includes the Proposition 1 B funding as well as the $31.2 million of the SAFETEA-LU funding for Projects of National and Regional Significance. A total of $414.8 million of the $980.5 million is planned or programmed through the use of federal, state and local funding sources. The funding balance of $565.6 million consists of unsecured sources, including railroad contributions, the California Public Utilities Commission, voluntary container premiums or have an unidentified funding source. The purpose of the 2008 funding blueprint is to develop a strategy and funding plan that leverages existing funding commitments of local jurisdictions to close the funding gap by 2019. In doing so, the plan develops a strategy for funding 20 of the 31 crossings for a total project cost of $980.5 million. Staff will present an overview of the 2008 funding strategy at the Commission meeting and will highlight the following critical factors for success: • Lead agency commitment to develop shelf -ready projects in order to compete effectively on a national, state, and local level for discretionary funds; • Project completion of the Proposition 1 B funded projects to demonstrate the region's ability to deliver projects in a timely manner; • Legislative action required to streamline the delivery of projects as well as increase the eligibility of grade separation projects for funding; Agenda Item 9 • • • 57 " " " " N e w s o u r c e s o f r e v e n u e s u p p o r t e d b y u s e r f e e s s u c h a s v o l u n t a r y c o n t a i n e r p r e m i u m s o r c u s t o m s f e e s ; a n d " I n c r e a s e d r o l e o f t h e r a i l r o a d s t o c o n t r i b u t e t o a l l g r a d e s e p a r a t i o n s b e y o n d t h o s e i n t h e C a l i f o r n i a P u b l i c U t i l i t i e s S e c t i o n 1 9 0 p r o g r a m .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update Budget Stalemate Resolved — Proposition 42 Protected, AB 1954 (Jeffries) Signed The record -setting budget impasse was resolved in mid -September without Proposition 42 transportation funds being raided to balance the general fund. Neither political party in the Legislature or the Administration had Proposition 42 "on the table" during the final stages of the negotiations, recognizing the importance of keeping infrastructure projects on -schedule. Up to $208 million of Riverside County transportation projects would have been at risk of being delayed. However, the Governor used his line -item veto to cut $100 million from the State Transit Assistance (STA) program, reducing it to similar funding levels as the previous budget year. After the budget was signed into law, the Governor began acting on hundreds of bills that have been waiting for his signature or veto for several weeks. The Governor has until September 30 to sign or veto all bills sent to his desk. On Saturday, September 27, the Governor signed AB 1954 (Jeffries) into law. This bill provides authority for the Commission to develop high -occupancy toll lanes on Interstate 15 between the San Bernardino and San Diego County lines. At the time this staff report was written, the Governor had not yet taken action on SB 1316 (Correa), the bill jointly sponsored by the Commission and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to amend the tolling authority on Agenda Item 10 59 State Route 91 so that the Commission can extend the SR-91 express lanes into Riverside County. Proposition 1A: Safe, Reliable High -Speed Passenger Train Bond Act Last month, the Budget and Implementation Committee received an update on the high-speed rail bond measure on the November statewide ballot. Since that time, that bond measure previously known as Proposition 1 was replaced on the ballot by the Legislature with Proposition 1 A. This occurred after Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 3034 (Galgiani), a bill that the Commission has voted to support, which amended the high-speed rail ballot language. To recap, AB 3034 made the following changes to the $9.95 billion bond act that would be relevant to the Commission: • Allows the development of segments of high-speed rail, as long as those routes do not inhibit the development of the Los Angeles (L.A.) to San Francisco route; • Allows the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) to prioritize segments of the statewide system that are more feasible and can benefit the most from bond funding; • Specifically mentions the Inland Empire as a major population center to be linked by high-speed rail; and • Allows bond funds to be used on parts of commuter or intercity rail systems (e.g., Amtrak and Metrolink) that would benefit high speed rail. With these amendments to the ballot language now in place, the opportunity is available for bond investment in the Inland Empire for this project. However, given the priority of the L.A. to San Francisco route and the cost and timeline of building that segment, it is fair to question the share of the $9.95 billion that would come to Riverside County. In 2007, the CHSRA completed a detailed feasibility study of a L.A. to Riverside route as part of a larger L.A. to San Diego service. The study estimated the cost of the route to be $3.56 billion in 2006 dollars. The route would connect L.A. Union Station to Industry, Ontario International Airport, and one station in Riverside (the study proposes the stop to be located at UC Riverside, with alternatives in Grand Terrace, Highgrove, and Canyon Crest.) To the maximum extent possible, the route would stay within existing railroad rights -of -way. Proposition 1 A's success or failure will have an impact on leveraging federal funds. The Amtrak authorization legislation moving through the final stretches of Congress contains over $14 billion to match state funding for high-speed rail corridors on the basis of an 80% federal match. Furthermore, legislative leaders such as House Agenda Item 10 • 60 Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) has stated her intentions to see federal high-speed rail investment in the next surface transportation authorization bill. Given that the total project cost of the high-speed rail network is expected to exceed $40 billion, Proposition 1A provides an initial public down -payment. Completion of the system would require private and federal investment. The CHSRA claims that passenger fares will be able to recover operating costs of the service. Bringing high-speed rail to the Inland Empire has potential for job creation and permanent economic growth. There are also congestion relief and air quality benefits that could accrue by shifting more travelers out of automobiles. However, due to the engineering and funding challenges of an Inland Empire routes, as well as the likelihood that the L.A. to San Francisco route will still receive priority for a majority of the bond dollars, staff recommends that the Commission take no position on Proposition 1 A. Federal Update Rail Safety Legislation Moves Quickly Through Congress The Commission is a member agency of the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), commonly known as Metrolink. On Friday, September 12, 2008, Metrolink Train 111 on the Ventura County line bound for Moorpark struck a Union Pacific freight train head-on in Chatsworth. This collision resulted in 26 deaths and injured more than 130 people. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the crash. In the days following the collision, much public discussion centered around implementing a train safety technology known as Positive Train Control (PTC). The intent of PTC is to be able to alter train behavior remotely to avoid collisions and enforce speed limits. The 110' Congress has spent much of the last two years working on rail safety authorization legislation, which includes mandated PTC implementation. Until the Metrolink incident, the legislation had stalled in the U.S. Senate and the Bush Administration had signaled strong opposition to PTC mandates. USDOT expressed concern over setting arbitrary deadlines to implement new technologies, rather than allowing them to be market ready before they are deployed. The Administration and the railroad industry contended that PTC technology is not yet proven and costly. NTSB has been an outspoken supporter of PTC technology for many years. Agenda Item 10 61 In response to the Metrolink incident, California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer jointly introduced S.3493, the Rail Collision Prevention Act. This bill mandated PTC implementation on a more aggressive timeline than other rail safety bills stalled in Congressional committees. The bill contained no funding for the mandate. The Budget and Implementation Committee adopted a support in concept position on the Feinstein -Boxer legislation and called on Congress to also provide the funding for mandatory PTC installation. As Congress entered its final hours of the legislative year, dealing with the woes of Wall Street and the economy, the House and Senate negotiated a comprehensive bill that would include a compromise on the PTC implementation timeline between the Feinstein -Boxer bill and the stalled rail safety bills, as well as $250 million of federal funds to make an initial investment into PTC. The rail safety legislation was combined with the pending Amtrak reauthorization and a rail solid waste bill that was also awaiting passage. At the time this report was written, the package had cleared the House of Representatives overwhelmingly and had overcome a procedural vote in the Senate to allow for a final vote before being sent to the President. Key elements of the rail safety package include: • PTC implementation deadline of 2015 (rather than 2014 for all lines in the Feinstein -Boxer bill, and 2012 for "high risk" lines). The US DOT Secretary will have discretion to require earlier deadlines on "high risk" lines. • $250 million in PTC installation grants authorized; expansion of a federal loan guarantee program for PTC and other rail infrastructure. • Requirement that FRA adopt new "hours of service" regulations for passenger/commuter rail - with a 3-year rule -making process. Maximum 12- hour work period with minimum 10-hour disruption -free rest period for train and signal crews. Maximum of 276 total monthly work hours, including "some commute time". • Mandates federal study of use of cell phones and other device distractions in locomotive cabs • Requires "risk -based safety programs for all major railroads to prevent deaths and injuries." • New NTSB office to assist families of passengers after rail disasters.

Darrell Issa Dear Senator Feinstein, Senator Boxer and Members of Congress: I am writing to inform you that the Board of Directors of the Southern Califomia Regional Rail Authority-Metrolink voted on September 17, 2008, to support S.3493, introduced the previous day by Sen. Feinstein and Sen. Boxer. The bill would require rail carriers to develop and implement positive train control (PTC) systems. We commend the Senators Feinstein and Boxer for their leadership on S.3493 and their commitment to the safe operation of rail service. The September 12, 2008 tragic collision of the Metrolink and Union Pacific trains is another wake up call for Congress, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration, the State of California, and the entire railroad industry about the importance of enhancing the safety of our nation's transportation network. Whether the issue is investment in PTC, other safety 700 S. Flower Street 26th Floor Los Angeles CA 90017 Tel [213] 452.0200 Fax [213] 452.0461 www.metrolinktrains.com Page 2 S. 3493 technologies, separate tracks for freight and passenger rail service, new grade separations or grade crossing safety measures, it is imperative that all levels of government and all of the railroad industry work together as a common top priority to develop and fund interoperable solutions on an accelerated basis. Ultimately, important major safety improvements require funding. The federal government cannot be expected to do it all and we recognize that the responsibility also falls upon the state and local levels of government. However, the federal government is a necessary and essential financial and regulatory partner to achieve passenger rail safety improvements when train tracks, signals and communications networks are shared by regional and national passenger and freight rail owned and operated by multiple parties. Accordingly, the key element along with S.3493 is that the federal govemment does its part in providing financial assistance to enable Metrolink and all public passenger railroads nationwide to improve safety. For example, we note that both House -passed and Senate -passed versions of the FRA/Rail Safety reauthorization bill (H.R.2095) provide new general fund authorizations for appropriations for PTC. Such funding authorizations and adequate levels of actual annual appropriations are an essential element of the goal of S.3493. Again, we commend Califomia's Senators for their leadership in introducing S.3493. Metrolink urges that S.3493 be enacted into law along with adequate funding to meet the goals of this important legislation. Sincerely, Ron Roberts Chairman of the Board c.
