5. PROP 1A HIGH SPEED RAIL UPDATE
Sheldon Peterson, ROTC, reported that the High Speed Rail bond measure
passed and the California High -Speed Rail Authority will develop a service from
Los Angeles to San Francisco. It does provide some funding for alternative
routes. The California High -Speed Rail Authority has been working with SLAG,
RCTC, SANBAG and SANDAG as well as the San Diego Airport Authority to
explore developing an extension of the high speed rail connection from Los
Angeles to San Diego via the Inland Empire. A series of. Riverside County
Technical Working Groups (TWG) will commence on Wednesday, November 19,
1:00-4:30 p.m. at RCTC.
The High -Speed Rail Authority sent information to the cities in the western area
of Riverside and invited city staff to attend the meetings. Mr. Peterson provided
a set of maps of the proposed alignment for the TAC members to view.
The purpose of the TWG is to solicit input for alignment and station options,
review concept alignment and station options at critical locations, and review and
provide input on the final concept study.
6. GRADE SEPARATION FUNDING PLAN
Tanya Love, RCTC, provided a brochure, "2008 Funding Strategy for Grade
Separation in Riverside County." She stated that the Blueprint for Advancing
Projects would be used as part of RCTC's legislative platform to get further
funding for goods movement. Ms. Love reviewed the highlights of the brochure
and reported that Senator Boxer is pleased with the information and requested
that staff develop a tri-fold booklet that will show the impact of goods movement
as it leaves California and the economic impact goods movement has across the
country. Staff intends to update the brochure every two years.
In response to a question regarding the final priority ranking in Appendix A, page
23, Ms. Love indicated that additional crossings have been added. She further

regarding payment of disallowable CMAQ funds, pursuant to legal counsel
review.
8. PROGRAMMING UPDATE (STIP, RTIP, ETC.)
Shirley Medina provided a document entitled, "Required Emissions Modeling for
Transportation Conformity" and stated that there are some issues with modeling
years and if the model years, the actual open traffic year, are changed and it
crosses over a model year, an amendment will have to be done not only to the
RTIP but to the RTP. This process could delay the environmental document by
six to nine months. The environmental document traffic date and the model
date in the TIP must be the same.
She drew attention to the second page of the document regarding the model
years for the 2008 RTP as well as Project Delay Examples.
Regarding the STIP and the updates to it, it is unknown what will go on with the
current STIP. The state budget is still in jeopardy and more cuts are expected.
With the budget cuts still looming, Prop 42 may still be impacted. Over the next
couple of years, there is $200 million programmed for projects, including the Bob
Hope project and the Perris Valley Line Commuter Rail Extension project. CVAG
is reviewing prioritization of some of the interchanges for which it has included
STIP funding. Bob Hope should go to construction in January or February of
2009, followed closely by Date Palm and I-10 at Indian as well as the Palm Drive
Interchange.
The 91 HOV lanes and the SR 91/Van Buren Boulevard Interchange will be
coming up in the next couple of years; meetings will have to be scheduled with
the City of Riverside to determine how funding will impact their projects. The
construction of the French Valley Interchange will follow the 91 HOV and SR
91/Van Buren Boulevard Interchange.
Grace Alvarez, RCTC, indicated that the 2008 RTIP is scheduled for approval
today. The 2008 RTP Amendment No. Land the 2008 RTIP Amendment No. 1,
also known as the consistency amendment completed the 30-day review
comment period on November 7th. SCAG's Regional Council will consider the RTP
Amendment No. 1 approval at its December 4t' meeting. Subsequent to the
Regional Council approval, SCAG will forward the 2008 RTIP to Ca!trans for
review and approval. Final approval by FHWA is anticipated for mid -January
2009.

within the next month or two District 8 will send a representative to share
information with the TAC.
Ms. Medina reported that the large conference room in Banning City Hall will no
longer be available for TAC meeting usage in 2009 because Banning will be using
the room for its Monday morning staff meetings. The room would be available
from 1:00 to 3:00; however the consensus of the TAC members is that the
meetings should continue to be held on Monday mornings. Shirley Medina
stated that a survey would be taken for meeting location suggestions from the
TAC.

In this report, staff will outline what is known, as well as informed speculation about the
direction that things appear to be headed.
Formula Program, No Earmarks
From the beginning, it has been clear that there is no appetite for an Economic
Recovery bill riddled with earmarks. Given that the President-elect campaigned on a
mantra of changing the way. Washington "does business", it is difficult to envision a
scenario where the first bill he signs contains billions of dollars of earmarks for specific
projects. Therefore, it is expected that transportation funds will be allocated on a
formula basis. It is likely that the formula will, at the very least, allocate the money to
the states on a "use it or lose it" basis.
Stimulus Legislation Requires Action in Both Washington and Sacramento
While it appears that Washington will send money directly to states for spending on
"shelf -ready" projects, it is less clear whether Congress will require the states to sub-
allocate the money to regions, or if a separate set of funds will be appropriated
specifically for local use. This lack of clarity has generated significant activity in
Sacramento over what to do with potentially tens of billions of dollars that could be
headed to California, with little time to deliberate once the funds are received
(potentially as early as February).
In Sacramento, staff has been advocating that the lion's share of any discretionary
formula funds from the stimulus be sub -allocated to regions for use by transportation
commissions and authorities such as RCTC. A portion of these funds could be set -
aside by the regions for discretionary use by cities and counties. Staff believes that the
State deserves an off--the-top portion of the monies to use on the large backlog of
highway rehabilitation and maintenance projects, while allowing county transportation
agencies to use a majority of the funds to add capacity to the system on large job -
creating projects. With the dire state budget situation and the Treasurer's inability to
sell infrastructure bonds, there is a potential for stimulus funds to: "backfill" previous
state commitments that can no longer be funded. Staff advises that the Commission
take the position that the State must resolve its budget problems and fulfill its
commitments to transportation and use federal stimulus dollars to add new money to
the system, rather than use it to relieve the state of its obligations. Moreover Chairman
Oberstar has expressed his belief that federal dollars should have an additive funding
impact instead of replacing funding that has already been committed by states or other
government agencies.
Further, staff has been advocating alongside regional partners that stimulus funding
should be accompanied by policy measures to accelerate project delivery through
streamlining approval processes and waiving administrative rules that can add months
to a project. Mobility 21, a coalition of business and governments in Southern
California, has been a leading voice through which RCTC has been providing input to
Congress and the Schwarzenegger Administration.

State -Local Partnership Program Guidelines Page 2
Adopted December 11, 2008
The Commission will program and allocate funding to projects in whole thousands of
dollars and will include a project only if it is fully funded from a combination of SLPP
and other committed funding. The Commission will regard funds as committed when
they are programmed by the Commission or when the agency with discretionary authority
over the funds has made its commitment to the project by ordinance or resolution. For
federal formula funds, including RSTP, CMAQ, and federal- formula transit funds, the
commitment may be by federal TIP adoption. For federal discretionary funds, the
commitment may be by federal approval of a full funding grant agreement or by grant
approval.
The Commission's annual SLPP program of projects will also include multiyear
programs of projects for SLPP funding that eligible applicants may elect to adopt and
submit to the Commission. The Commission will include these multiyear programs for
informational purposes, acknowledging the future plans and intent of the eligible
applicants. The inclusion of an applicant multiyear program, however, will not constitute
a programming commitment by the Commission for future year funding.
Formula Program for Voter -Approved Taxes and Fees
3. Annual Funding Shares. The Commission will adopt the annual funding share for each
eligible applicant for the Voter -Approved Taxes and Fees Subaccount with the adoption
of these guidelines for 2008-09 and prior to the beginning of each subsequent fiscal year.
These shares will be determined in accordance with Govemment Code Section 8879.72
and rounded to the nearest whole thousand dollars. In establishing funding shares, the
Commission will use the following:
• For toll revenues, the sum of revenues from Regional Measures 1 and 2 for the
second prior fiscal year (e.g., 2006-07 data for 2008-09 funding shares), as reported
in audited financial statements from the Bay Area Toll Authority.
• For parcel and property tax revenues, the revenues for the second prior fiscal year
(e.g., 2006-07 data for 2008-09 funding shares), as reported to the State Controller
pursuant to Government Code Section 53891.
• For local sales tax revenues, the sum of gross revenues for the most recent four
quarters as reported for each local tax by the Board of Equalization.
• For population, the annual population estimate for cities and counties issued by the
Department of Finance in May prior to the beginning of each fiscal year.
The Commission will determine a funding share for each eligible applicant with a voter -
approved tax or toll that was approved prior to the adoption of the funding shares and will
be collected during the fiscal year. Where a city has a voter -approved local sales tax and
is located within a county without a countywide sales tax, the Commission will adopt a
funding share for the city based on the city's population. Where there are multiple
eligible applicants with a voter -approved local sales tax within a county with a
countywide sales tax, the Commission will adopt a single countywide funding share
based on the population for the county.
•
State -Local Partnership Program Guidelines Page 3
Adopted December 11, 2008
The Commission will set aside up to 2 percent of the total amount appropriated each year
for the program as a reserve for bond administrative expenses. In the absence of an
enacted state budget, the Commission may establish the funding shares based on its best
estimate of the amount that the Legislature will appropriate to the SLPP Account, subject
to adjustment based on the final appropriation in the Budget Act.
4. Project nominations. The Commission will include in .the annual program of projects
each project nominated by an eligible applicant for a formula funding share provided that
the Commission finds that the nomination meets the requirements of statute and that the
project has a commitment of the required match and any supplementary funding needed
for full funding. Each applicant should submit its nomination by February 17, 2009 for
2008-09 and by August 15 for each fiscal year thereafter. The Commission's program of
projects will not include a project nomination that exceeds the applicant's formula
funding share. A nomination will include the signature of the Chief Executive Officer or
other officer authorized by the applicant's governing board. Where the project is to be
implemented by an agency other than the applicant, the nomination will also include the
signature of the Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the implementing
agency. The Commission requests that applicants for funding from a formula share
submit three hard copies of each nomination. The nominations should be addressed or
delivered to:
John Barna, Executive Director
California Transportation Commission
Mail Station 52, Room 2231
1120 N Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
A project nomination may be for supplemental funding of a project that was allocated
SLPP funding in a prior year, provided that the supplemental SLPP funding and the
match for that supplemental funding will not be expended until after the allocation of the
supplemental funding. The supplemental SLPP funding may be to replace local funding
already committed to the project, subject to the required one-to-one match.
For each nominated project, the applicant should submit project information using the
Project Programming Request form in use for STIP projects. The nomination should
identify the implementing agency, which may be different from the applicant agency. As
specified in statute, the nomination shall include:
• A description of the nominated project, including its cost and scope and the
specific improvements and benefits it is anticipated to serve. The description
should identify the project's useful life.
• A description of the project's current status, including the current phase of
delivery, and the schedule for the completion of construction or acquisition.
• A description of how the project would support transportation and land use
planning goals within the region.
•
State -Local Partnership Program Guidelines Page 4
Adopted December 11, 2008
• The amount and source of matching funds.
• The amount of SLPP funds requested.
An eligible applicant may adopt and submit a multiyear program for SLPP funding, either
in addition to or in lieu of project nominations for the program year. As described in
section 2, the Commission's acknowledgement of an applicant's multiyear program will
not constitute a Commission programming commitment of future year SLPP funding.
5. Balance of funding share. If the program of projects adopted by the Commission does
not program the full amount of an applicant's formula funding share, the balance will
remain available for later program amendments supported by eligible project
nominations. A balance not programmed in one fiscal year will carry over and be
available in the following fiscal year.
Competitive Grant Program to Match Uniform Developer Fees
6. Project selection. The Commission will select projects from among eligible project
nominations for the competitive grant program from the Uniform Developer Fees
Subaccount pursuant to Government Code Section 8879.73. No single competitive grant
for the SLPP may exceed $1 million. The Commission will consider approval of a
competitive grant only when it finds that the grant request meets the requirements of
statute and that the project has a commitment of the required match and any
supplementary funding needed for full funding. The selected projects will be included in
the Commission's annual program of projects for the SLPP. The Commission will
consider only projects for which five hard copies of a complete nomination are received
in the Commission office by February 17, 2009 for 2008-09 and by August 15 for each
fiscal year thereafter. A nomination will include the signature of the Chief Executive
Officer or other officer authorized by the applicant's governing board. Where the project
is to be implemented by an agency other than the applicant, the nomination will also
include the signature of the Chief Executive Officer or other authorized officer of the
implementing agency. The nominations should be addressed or delivered to:
John Barna, Executive Director
California Transportation Commission
Mail Station 52, Room 2231
1120 N Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
7. Project applications. For each project nominated for the competitive grant program, the
applicant should submit project information using the Project Programming Request form
in use for STIP projects. The nomination should identify the implementing agency,
which may be different from the applicant agency. As specified in statute, the
nomination shall include:
State -Local Partnership Program Guidelines Page 5
Adopted December 11, 2008
• A description of the nominated project, including its cost and scope and the
specific improvements and benefits it is anticipated to serve. The description
should identify the project's useful life.
• A description of the project's current status, including the current phase of
delivery, and the schedule for the completion of construction or acquisition.
• A description of how the project would support transportation and land use
planning goals within the region.
• The amount and source of matching funds.
• The amount of SLPP funds requested.
In addition, the grant request should include a copy of the ordinance or resolution
adopted by a city, county or city and county that establishes the uniform developer fee to
be matched by the grant.
An agency may apply for supplemental funding of up to $1 million for a project that was
allocated SLPP funding in a prior year or years, provided that the supplemental SLPP
funding and the match for that supplemental funding will not be expended until after the
allocation of the supplemental funding. The supplemental SLPP funding may be to
replace local funding already committed to the project, subject to the required one-to-one
match. Prior year funding of a project under the SLPP discretionary grant program is not
a selection criterion for funding in a subsequent year. The Commission will evaluate
applications competitively in each funding cycle.
8. Project selection criteria. In approving grants for inclusion in the program of projects, the
Commission will give consideration to geographic balance and to demonstrated project
cost-effectiveness. The Commission will give higher priority to projects that are more
cost-effective, that can commence construction or implementation earlier, that leverage
more uniform developer fees per program dollar, and that can demonstrate quantifiable
air quality improvements, including a significant reduction in vehicle -miles traveled.
9. Balance of grant program funds. If the program of projects adopted by the Commission
does not program the full amount of the share for the competitive grant program, the
balance will remain available for later program amendments supported by eligible project
grant requests. A balance not programmed in one fiscal year will carry over and be
available for the competitive grant program in the following fiscal year.
Proiect Allocations and Delivery
10. Amendments to program of proiects. The Commission may approve an amendment of
the SLPP program of projects at any time. An amendment need only appear on the
agenda published 10 days in advance of the Commission meeting. It does not require the
30-day notice that applies to a STIP amendment.
•
State -Local Partnership Program Guidelines Page 6
Adopted December 11, 2008
11. Allocations from the SLPP Account. The Commission will consider the allocation of
funds from the SLPP Account for a project when it receives an allocation request and
recommendation from the Department of Transportation, in the same manner as for the
STIP (see section 64 of the STIP guidelines). The recommendation will include a
determination of the availability of appropriated funding from the SLPP Account and the
availability of all identified and committed matching and supplementary funding. The
Commission will approve the allocation if the funds are available, the allocation is
necessary to implement the project as included in the adopted SLPP program, and the
project has the required environmental clearance.
12. Timely Use of Funds. Under statute, projects receiving an SLPP allocation shall
encumber the funds no later than two years after the end of the fiscal year in which the
Commission makes the allocation. Commission policy, however, is that SLPP
allocations are valid for encumbrance for six months from the date of approval unless the
Commission approves an extension. Applicants may submit and the Commission will
evaluate extension requests in the same manner as for STIP projects (see section 66 of the
STIP guidelines).
13. Semiannual delivery reports: As a condition of the project allocation, the Commission
will require the implementing agency to submit semiannual reports on the activities and
progress made toward implementation of the project.
As mandated by Government Code Section 8879.50, the Commission shall forward these
reports to the Department of Finance. The purpose of the reports is to ensure that the
project is being executed in a timely fashion and is within the scope and budget identified
when the decision was made to fund the project. If it is anticipated that project costs will
exceed the approved project budget, the implementing agency shall provide a'plan to the
Commission for achieving the benefits of the project by either downscoping the project to
remain within budget or by identifying an alternative funding source to meet the cost
increase. The Commission may either approve the corrective plan or direct the
implementing agency to modify its plan.
14. Final delivery report. Within six months of the project becoming operable, the
implementing agency shall provide a final delivery report to the Commission on the
scope of the completed project, its final costs as compared to the approved project
budget, its duration as compared to the project schedule in the project baseline
agreement, and performance outcomes derived from the project as compared to those
described in the project baseline agreement. The Commission shall forward this report to
the Department of Finance as required by Government Code Section 8879.50.
For the purpose of this section, a project becomes operable when the construction
contract is accepted or acquired equipment is received.
15. Audit of project expenditures and outcomes. The Department of Transportation will
ensure that project expenditures and outcomes are audited. For each SLPP project, the
Commission expects the Department to provide a semi-final audit report within 6 months

accompanying documentation to ensure that each nominated project meets the
requirements of this article and to confirm that each project has a commitment of the
requisite amount of eligible local matching funds as required in this article. Upon
conducting the review of the requirements and determining the proposed projects to be in
compliance with this article, the projects shall be deemed eligible.
(e) The commission shall adopt a program of projects under this section that is
geographically balanced and provides cost-effective and multimodal, safety, reliability,
and environmental benefits. In allocating funds to specific projects, the commission shall
give priority to projects that do any of the following:
(1) Can commence construction or implementation of the project in a manner to
provide the public benefit at the earliest possible date.
(2) Can enhance the leveragability of bond funds, by utilizing a higher proportion
of nonbond funds toward a project's total cost than is otherwise required by this article.
•
(3) Can demonstrate quantifiable air quality improvements, including, but not
limited to, a demonstration that the project can result in a significant reduction in vehicle -
miles traveled.
Annual Program Cycle, Allocations, Guidelines
Added: Chapter 756, Statutes of 2008 (AB 268)
8879.74. (a) The commission shall adopt a program of projects to receive allocations
under this article for each funding cycle, with allocations to projects to be initially made
at the commission's meeting in April 2009, and to be made no later than the commission's
October meeting for subsequent years.
(b) Projects receiving an allocation under the program shall encumber funds no
later than two years after the end of the fiscal year in which an allocation is made by the
commission. The commission shall rescind an allocation to a project that fails to comply
with these requirements. Rescinded allocations of funds shall, in the case of the program
established pursuant to Section 8879.72, be made available for another eligible project
proposed by the agency that nominated the original project for funding, and, in the case
of the program established in Section 8879.73, be reallocated to other projects during the
fiscal year following the year in which the applicable timely use of funds requirement
was not met.
(c) The commission shall develop and adopt guidelines to implement this article,
and to establish the process for allocating funds to eligible projects under the program,
consistent with this article. Prior to adopting the guidelines, the commission shall hold
one public hearing in northern California and one public hearing in southern California to
review and provide an opportunity for public comment on the proposed guidelines. The
commission may incorporate the hearings into its regular meeting schedule.
Required Match
Added: Chapter 756, Statutes of 2008 (AB 268)
8879.75. Pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 8879.23, an eligible project funded
pursuant to this article shall require a match of one dollar ($1) of eligible local matching
funds for each dollar of program funds applied for under this article. An applicant may
propose to use other funds for the same project, including local, federal, or other state
funds, however, those other funds shall not be counted toward the match required by this
article.
Summary in Annual Report
Added: Chapter 756, Statutes of 2008 (AB 268)
8879.76. The commission shall include in its annual report to the Legislature,
required pursuant to Section 14535, a summary of its activities related to the
administration of the program. The summary, at a minimum, shall include the
description, location, and total cost of each project contained in the program, the amount
of bond funds allocated to each project, the status of each project, and a description of the
system improvements each project is achieving.

Page 2
Each Utility Agreement for preliminary engineering prior to approval of the environmental
document during PA&ED shall only cover the Utility Owner's engineering costs. Once the
PS&E phase has been reached, a separate and subsequent Utility Agreement shall cover costs for
physical relocation.
Department Project
Because no specific Departmental allocation currently exists, the. earliest a Utility Agreement for
Preliminary Engineering can be encumbered for a Department project is July 1, 2009, providing
that a one-time, advanced estimate for the project has been submitted prior to December 31,
2008. For subsequent programming years, the funding for this Preliminary Engineering will be
captured from the Right of Way Data Sheet.
Local Public Agency (LPA) Project
As a business decision for a Local "On -System" project, this preliminary engineering process can
be implemented immediately if the sponsor agency will fund 100% of this activity with no State
dollars involved. For other R/W Utility activities, the Local project may be funded with any
combination of Local, State or Federal funds. Local Agencies should be cautioned that such a
business decision carries an element of risk due to the possibility of wasted work and its potential
effect on stakeholder commitment to the accelerated schedule.
