Anne Mayer replied it is understood that 1-10/Palm Drive interchange project
is further ahead than I-10/Bob Hope Drive interchange project. She referred
to the note under Table A — "Funding distribution to the 1 10 interchange
projects are subject to change by action taken by the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments (CVAG). " She stated staff 'understands the
concerns and will work with CVAG.
Commissioner Ginny Foat concurred with Commissioner Matas' concern
regarding the 1-10/Palm Drive interchange project and requested clarification
on the funding scenarios.
Shirley Medina replied that the greater allocation is dependent on the
California Transportation Commission (CTC) approval on the distribution of
State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) funds and to
follow the STIP allocation formula.
Anne Mayer clarified that to implement the stimulus bill as it was federally
designated does not require legislation. The authority that is needed for the
CTC to take action is already in place and fully compliant with existing law.
At Commissioner James Potts' request, Anne Mayer explained how the
recommendation for proposed projects for ARRA highway funding was
determined, including the proposed local stimulus program.
Commissioner Berg concurred with staff's recommendations and expressed

1) Support legislation to distribute ARRA funds through the RSTP.
In the absence of authorizing legislation, support a distribution

of funding to Riverside County and provides the most flexibility
in programming and allocating funds;
2) ARRA highway funding included in Table A depending on the
funding level for Riverside County;

to prepare the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the construction of
the La Sierra Metrolink station parking expansion. This team is uniquely qualified to
perform this work since it has been involved in previous parking lot expansions at
Downtown Riverside and La Sierra.
Engineering Resources Contract History
In November 2001, the Commission entered into Agreement No. 02-33-029 with
ERSC to provide engineering and design services for the Downtown Riverside and
La Sierra Metrolink stations. The original not -to -exceed amount of the agreement
was $196,295. Over the years, the agreement has been amended six times by the
Commission. Although Amendment No. 4 for design of a temporary parking lot at
the Downtown Riverside station was approved by the Commission in an amount of
$52,638, the amendment itself was never executed. However, the agreement
increase was included in Amendment No. 5, which was also approved by the
Commission and carried forward for a current not -to exceed total contract value of
$897,241.
Under Amendment No. 7, ERSC will prepare the PS&E for the construction of the
new La Sierra Metrolink station parking lot expansion. The ERSC proposal is
attached to this report. The engineering scope of services is estimated at
$108,254, which will exceed the currently adjusted contract balance, by $12,362.
Staff recommends that the Commission approve Amendment No.' 7 to add the
La Sierra Parking Lot expansion engineering scope and $12,362 to this agreement.
This will increase the total not -to -exceed amount of this agreement to $909,603.
Staff intends for this to be the final modification of this contract and will solicit
statements of qualifications for future work. The funding to covet the PS&E for
this project will come from Measure A Commuter Assistance funds.

regional transportation agencies such as the Commission using the formula in
Section 99313 of the Public Utilities Code (population allocation), subject to the
provisions governing funds allocated under those sections.
For the current fiscal year, the Commission expects to receive $1,553,822 in
population funds per Section 99313. The Commission is responsible, for calculating
eligible amounts for each project sponsor under its authority. The transit agencies
within Riverside County will receive the CTAF non -discretionary operator funds
totaling $231,221, as identified in Attachment 3, directly from the State Controller
per Section 99314.
These funds are designated to be used for transit capital projects that provide
increased protection against a security or safety threat including, but not limited to,
the following:
• Construction or renovation projects that enhance security of public transit
stations or other transit facilities;
• Explosive devise mitigation and remediation equipment;
• Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear explosives search, rescue or
response equipment;
• Interoperable communications equipment;
• Physical security enhancement equipment;
• Installation of fencing, barriers, etc. to improve security at transit stations or
other transit facilities;
• Capital expenditures to increase the capacity of transit operators to develop
disaster response transportation systems that can move people, equipment,
etc. in the aftermath of a disaster; or
• Other security related projects approved by the Office of Homeland Security.
Funds will be allocated directly to the project sponsors upon receipt '.of Commission
approval. Project sponsors have three years to complete all eligible projects.
The OHS is requiring a resolution from the Commission regarding population funds
per Section 99313 and a resolution regarding appointing individuals to act on
behalf of the Commission's Commuter Rail Program. These resolutions are
necessary in order to successfully complete the grant submittal process.
Attachment 1 is a resolution to approve and authorize the project sponsors to apply
for the CTSGP-CTAF population funds through the OHS. Attachment 2 is a

several existing projects and sources from prior years to ensure that critical capital
needs currently programmed in FY 2008/09 are met. The attachment details
RTA's proposed reprogramming plan.
A shift of $6,114,997 of existing funds from several RTA projects that have been
completed or soon -to -be started projects from FYs 2005 - 08 grant years will be
used to cover $5,331,613 of FY 2009 capital needs that were originally funded
heavily with STA funds. The reprogramming plan yielded a balance of $783,382
of excess and unassigned STA monies, and RTA is requesting that this amount be
retained by the agency to cover other capital projects planned for later years.
Unfortunately, in the wake of the recent state budget agreement, the provision for
STA funding was completely eliminated for public transit operators'; however, the
carryover or excess funds are still retained and can be made available to RTA for
this purpose.
Commission staff is in support of RTA's request to reprogram the funds and
recommends approval of its capital modification plan contingent upon FTA's
approval to reprogram the federal portion of the funding.

The Healthy Communities and Healthy Economies - A Toolkit for Goods Movement
is attached. The document has been reviewed by the Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC), the community feedback group (CFG) members, and the Plans
and Programs Committee and their input has been incorporated into the final
document.
Impacts of Goods Movement
As the nation's two largest ports, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach
handled $221 billion in imports and $35 billion in exports in 2005. Despite the late
2008 downturn in the economy, the amount of goods shipped is expected to triple
by 2030. Participants in the EJ study recognize that the region's goods movement
system has both positive and negative effects. It influences the area's local
economy, environment, and quality of life. It is also an economic driver for the
region, creating jobs and money for the local economy. However, l,activities from
goods movement can negatively impact local communities, creating air pollution,
noise, traffic, and blight. There are also health risks associated with goods
movement particularly among low-income and minority populations.
Study Approach
The EJ study integrated technical analysis from developed transportation plans
such as the MCGMAP and best practices and solutions for environmental justice
issues. This effort was coordinated with a broad -based community outreach
approach involving technical staff from the railroads, ports, and warehousing
industry together with representatives of EJ communities. The TAC, consisting of
industry staff and community representatives, as well as CFG members from each
of the participating counties, guided the study team in developing the toolkit.
A total of four communities participated in the EJ study:
County Geographic Area
Los Angeles South Gate
Riverside Mira Loma and Coachella Valley
San Bernardino South Colton
A series of CFG meetings were held to solicit feedback from areas ,most impacted
by goods movement. Representatives from the impacted communities, local city
and county planning departments, public works departments and staff from various
industries attended the TAC and community meetings. Whenever possible,
feedback provided on local issues and impacts related to goods movement
activities were incorporated into the toolkit.

AGENDA ITEM 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
April 8, 2009
TO:
Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Plans and Programs Committee
Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Formula
Transit Funding Allocation and Distribution
5307/5311
PLANS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the project list recommendations for the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) formula 5307 funding allocation for Riverside
County transit projects; and
2) Approve amendment of the FY 2008/09 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP)
for the city of Corona, city of Riverside, Commission/Metrolink, Riverside
Transit Agency, and SunLine Transit Agency to reflect the inclusion of the
ARRA projects.
DISCUSSION:
As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for Riverside County, the
Commission is designated as the authorizing agency to make funding and
programming decisions for ARRA funds. ARRA has many funding categories and
the transit formula 5307/5311 funds provided under ARRA are the subject of this
report.
ARRA Capital Transit Assistance Program (CTAP) funding for Riverside County
totals $30,695,039. These ARRA CTAP funds allow 180 days to get the projects
obligated and grants awarded. ARRA transit funds are subject to redistribution if
50% of the funds are not awarded by the September 1, 2009 deadline. The
remaining 50% must be obligated no later than March 5, 2010. If funds are not
fully obligated by the March 5, 2010 deadline, it will be subject to redistribution.
Attachment 1 represents ARRA formula allocations by urbanized area (UZA) for the
urbanized zone 5307 funds and by apportionment area (Riverside County) for the
rural 5311 funds. It should be noted that these formulas are for capital projects
only and do not allow for the inclusion of transit operations. For clarification, while
Agenda Item 9
40
the Commission can approve projects and allow for the allocation of the 5307
ARRA funds directly to its operator partners, the 5311 rural funds are under the
administration of Caltrans, via a project application process. Accordingly, the
recommended project list contained in Attachment 2 is for the urbanized 5307 fund
only.
Applications for the 5311 funds are due to Caltrans on April 17, 2009. Staff will
continue to work with the Commission's operator partners on the application and
grant approval process for the 5311 funds and will provide an update on the
distribution and identify the projects at a later date.
Staff has reviewed numerous projects that were submitted by the Commission's
operator partners over the course of the past two weeks. Attachment 2 represents
the list of recommended projects by operator and the distribution of funds
recommended for those projects. In developing this recommendation, staff has
relied on historical precedent in the determination of the funding apportionment
amongst the operators. The apportionments contained herein closely match those
previously made for 5307 funds using revenue miles, passenger miles, and
operating costs as the evaluation criteria.
As previously mentioned, ARRA funds are subject to stringent obligation
requirements. Staff will continue to work with the Commission's operator partners
in structuring the approved projects in Transportation Electronic Award and
Management System, which will ensure the timely obligation and result in Riverside
County making full use of all ARRA funds allocated. Each operator shall also
submit to the Commission for staff approval, a revised SRTP (table 4) so that these
funds are formally reflected in the budgetary process for the current fiscal year.

RCTC/Metrolink
The Commission's Commuter Rail Department portion of the ARRA funds are
recommended to be dedicated to three projects at Metrolink in order to expand
safety efforts. These are projects identified by Metrolink that will meet the
requirements for the ARRA funding and can be obligated and delivered within the
available timeframes.
Positive Train Control (PTC): $4,785,612
PTC is a crash avoidance system that will be in compliance with the new federal
safety regulations. The ARRA funds committed towards this project will be pro-
rated against future PTC work requiring a Commission contribution.
Maintenance and Rehab of Metrolink's Signal and Communication System:
$1,670,000
These upgrades will also support PTC development directly in the Riverside
area.
Security Upgrades: $760,000
This project includes a guard gate and improved access at Metrolink's Central
Maintenance and Keller Yard Facilities.
City of Riverside
Automated Farebox System: $530,000
The City of Riverside requested the funds to purchase an automated farebox
system for its 26 vehicles. This system is proposed to enhance the security
of farebox funds and improve financial reporting, present a more technologically
advanced fare system to allow for better customer service, and allow for a direct
interface with Transtrack leading to better performance monitoring.
CNG Maintenance Facility: $170,000
The city on two previous occasions via their Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP)
has requested and been provided with Section 5307 funds ($2,030,000 total
commitment) for the construction of a maintenance facility specifically designed
to support CNG vehicles.
Currently, their vehicles are maintained in the City's maintenance building which
is not ideally suited to maintain CNG vehicles such as the vehicles that RSS
operates and utilizes. With the new facility, they intend to meet NFPA's (National
Fire Protection Agency) safety standards and codes regarding the maintenance
of CNG vehicles.
Capitalized Preventive Maintenance (PM): $8,639,192
While considered capital in the vernacular of the FTA, PM costs are accounted for as an
operating expense of the Agency. These funds will be applied towards vehicle maintenance,
RTA Facility Maintenance and Transit Center Maintenance.
ADA Operating Assistance: $1,746,504
10% of the ARRA funds received can be used for ADA operating expenses. With declining
Local transportation Fund (LTF) revenues and reserves, RTA is seeking to preserve LTF
through the use of this element of ARRA in operating its ADA services.
Capital Cost of Contracting (CCOC): $5,735,351
CCOC represents a significant portion of the Agency's purchased transportation/contracted
transit service expenses. The Agency utilizes two contractors — including taxis - for 100% of
its DAR service and one contractor for approximately 33% of its fixed route service.
COP Debt Service: $1,169,339
The amount requested for the COP Debt Service provides a substantial portion of the
remaining obligation for the past purchase of 55 forty -foot CNG buses. If approved, the
Agency will have secured approximately $6.4M of funding toward the remaining obligation of
just over $10.0M.
Transit Enhancements: $174,650
These funds will be used for transit center development once construction commences.

This appropriations cycle yielded one of the largest dollar figures, and number of
worthy projects funded in recent history, even without calculating the large sum of
money for the Perris Valley Line. The Commission is grateful to all of the members
of the Riverside County congressional delegation, and Senators Boxer and Feinstein
for their support of transportation infrastructure in Riverside County.',
In 2008, the Commission adopted the Perris Valley Line and Alameda Corridor East
grade separations as its top priorities for federal appropriations for all members of
the House delegation and both California Senators. Given an increasing scrutiny of
congressionally directed spending and the emphasis on regional projects, staff
recommends that the Commission go forward with the same two priorities across
all congressional districts and Senate offices for the FY 2010 appropriations cycle.
Perris Valley Line still requires $30 million more in FY 2010 to maximize its eligible
share of Small Starts funding from FTA, and there remains more than a half -billion
dollars of need for the high -priority grade separations identified by the
Commission's adopted Grade Separation Funding Strategy. The Commission has
also been historically supportive of transit operators in the county (R verside Transit
Agency and SunLine Transit Agency) in their appropriations requests, as well as
recent efforts by Metrolink to secure funding to fully implement positive train
control technology as mandated by the federal Rail Safety Improvement Act of
2008.

Note: Dollar amounts may change slightly as Caltrans finalizes the amounts available.
Further, the SR-74/I-215 interchange project will receive $18 million in ARRA funds
in order to use an equal amount of Measure A funding to implement the
Commission's local stimulus program. Details on this local stimulus will be
forthcoming as Commission staff works with the Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) on guidelines for this program. The distribution of the $18 million to each
city and county is attached.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and Congress continue to
emphasize that all recipients of ARRA funds will be subjectto new and
heightened transparency and accountability requirements. The federal website
www.recovery.gov and the state website www.recovery.ca.gov will be used to
post detailed information on the progress of every project that receives ARRA
funds. The greater public visibility of project details and more extensive reporting
and certification requirements is intended to foster greater public trust in
government stewardship of tax dollars. Administration officials have made it very
clear to Commission staff that there is no tolerance for error in reporting or in the
delivery of the projects. The local agencies receiving the Commission's share of
ARRA funds will be responsible for meeting these reporting requirements. Caltrans
will use 0.5% of ARRA funds off -the -top to cover the costs of stewardship of the
ARRA highway program. Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration have been
holding workshops and seminars to educate local public works staff on the
demands of the ARRA legislation. Commission staff has also been attending these
workshops to assist the local agencies in meeting the requirements.

URGENCY ITEM
RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON
DATE:
April 8, 2009
TO:
Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Federal Authorization Legislative Ad Hoc Committee
Aaron Hake, Government Relations Manager
THROUGH:
Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Priority Projects for the New Authorization Bill
FEDERAL AUTHORIZATION LEGISLATIVE AD HOC COMMITTEE AND
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Adopt High Priority Projects for Federal Authorization:
a) Alameda Corridor East Grade Separations in Riverside County;
b) Interstate 215 Corridor Improvements; and
c) Interstate 10 Corridor Improvements;
2) Direct staff to work cooperatively with Coachella Valley Association of
Governments and San Bernardino Associated Governments on High Priority
Project requests; and
3) Direct staff to work cooperatively to support Riverside Transit Agency and
SunLine Transit Agency on those agencies' project requests.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee is in the midst of
writing language for the next federal transportation authorization bill. The
Committee's chairman, Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-MN), has stated that he intends to
introduce the bill by May 15. He has further stated that he intends to markup the
bill in the T&I Committee in late May and consider the bill on the House floor in
June. This timeline began to emerge in early March, shortly following the
enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) or "stimulus"
bill. Until then, many in Washington, DC, questioned whether ARRA's
infrastructure investment would lessen political pressure to pass a new
transportation authorization bill in 2009. Instead, it seems to have emboldened
Chairs Oberstar and Boxer to move forward with legislation quickly (due to their
perceived inadequate infrastructure investment in ARRA). Additionally, mixed -
messages regarding the role of earmarks (now dubbed "congressionally directed
priorities") in the authorization bill have been sent by Congress and the
Administration. However, it is now apparent that Congress intends to include
Member priority projects in the bill from the outset.
1
Given that the details of the House bill are now being constructed, the
T&I Committee has officially asked Members of Congress to submit High Priority
Project requests from their respective districts to the T&I Committee. Members
have been given until May 8 to submit High Priority Projects. The Commission
should soon be receiving calls for projects from the four Members who represent
Riverside County. In anticipation of this call, staff has prepared al recommendation
to the Federal Authorization Legislative Ad Hoc Committee for the Commission to
sponsor a strategic suite of projects for the authorization bill.
Vetting Commission Priority Projects
At its August 2008 meeting, this ad hoc committee received recommendations
from Commission federal lobbyists and staff regarding criteria for authorization
projects. Having received no alternative suggestions from the ad hoc committee at
that time, staff continues to recommend that projects sought by the Commission in
the next reauthorization shall:
• Have a clear federal nexus;
• Be regional in nature; and
• Be deliverable within the timeframe of the bill (before 2015-16)
Furthermore, the ad hoc committee discussed its desire to support corridors for
improvement rather than individual projects. A regional corridor approach is
consistent with recent policies by Senate and House Appropriations Committees
and Senator Feinstein. As the Commission discussed at its 2008 workshop in
La Quinta with its three federal lobbyists, staff believes the Commission will benefit
from maintaining a strategy that focuses on the highest regional priorities, despite
the many requests that will be made by cities for smaller projects.' Competition will
be fierce for limited dollars; diluting the Commission's support for the multitudinous
local projects nominated by cities will detract from a regional message that can set
Riverside County apart from others in California and the nation.
Congressional Criteria
In a letter dated April 2, 2009, Chairman Oberstar, Ranking Member Mica, and
key committee members outlined their standards for High Priority Project requests.
The letter is an attachment to this item. The basic points are outlined below:
• For road projects, is the project on the national highway or interstate
system?
• Can 80% of the total cost of the phase or segment of the project be
identified through local, state, or federal sources? (Sources and amounts
must be named).
• How likely is construction of the project to begin during the term of the Act?

The Commission would seek a federal share of approximately $365 million for
these Alameda Corridor East projects. If approved by the ad hoc committee, staff
would further refine the details of this request to make a competitive application to
our Member offices and the T&1 Committee.
Interstate 215 Corridor Improvements
Congressional Districts: 41-Lewis, 44-Calvert, 45-Bono Mack, 49-Issa
Interstate 215 is a key corridor in the 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plan and is
prioritized by the Commission in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery
Plan. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) has also recognized 1-215 as
a priority with a $38 million investment from the Proposition 1 B Corridor Mobility
Improvement Account (CMIA). The Commission is investing in transit along the
corridor as well with the Perris Valley Line Metrolink Extension, a project that has
received significant federal investment. This highway is regionally significant in its
role as a link between Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Last week, the
Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution declaring 1-215 a
bi-county regional priority. The San Bernardino Board of Supervisors will soon
adopt the same resolution. The 1-215 corridor presents an opportunity to
demonstrate regional unity and address significant congestionand air quality
challenges.
Staff proposes that 1-215 corridor improvements, consisting of three critical
projects, be considered for a High Priority Project request to Congress.
Urgency Item
4
French Valley Parkway
This new facility will play a critical role in improving infrastructure in southwest
Riverside County and traffic flow near the Riverside/San Diego County border. This
$122 million project received High Priority Project designation in SAFETEA-LU from
Rep. Darrell Issa. State funds totaling $31.5 million have been placed on the
project, designating French Valley Parkway as a regional priority. The authorization
request would be approximately $55.2 million. Anticipated construction start is in
FY 2010/1 1.
Central 1-215 Project: Scott Road to Nuevo Road
This project will add one mixed flow lane addition in both the north and south
bound directions of 1-215 between Scott and Nuevo Road, approximately
12.9 miles. The project will include the widening of four existing bridges and the
replacement of two bridges. The project will involve extensive drainage
modifications/improvements. This project will address some existing drainage
problems and account for all new run off. Most work will be within the existing
state right of way. The project is in the preliminary engineering and environmental
clearance stage, with a projected construction start date in 2013. A total of
$170 million is needed for construction.
This segment of 1-215 will be a continuation of the widening to be done on from
Scott Road to Murrieta Hot Springs Road. That segment is being funded by state
Proposition 1 B funds.
1-215 Bi-County HOV Gap Closure Project
The Commission added this project to the 10-Year Measure A Delivery Plan in
February 2009. This action will expedite a deliverable portion of the larger
bi-county 1-215 project that will cost upwards of $1.4 billion. The interim project
includes the addition of one HOV lane between the newly completed 60/91/215
interchange and Orange Show Road in San Bernardino. The total project cost is
expected to be $167.46 million. The Commission will be responsible for
$35.72 million with SANBAG responsible for the balance. Caltrans and the Federal
Highway Administration have given conceptual approval to deliver this project
separately from the larger 1-215 bi-county project with the understanding that it will
be given funding priority and delivered by 2014.
Advocating for this project will require cooperation and coordination with SANBAG
in Washington, DC. If staff's recommendation is approved, staff will proactively
outreach to SANBAG to advance this project's standing in Washington, DC.
Urgency Item
5
As with Alameda Corridor East, staff recommends that 1-215 be presented as a
dynamic package of investments that are regional in nature with direct federal
interest, emphasizing air quality improvement, mobility choices, and goods
movement benefits.
Perris Valley Line Remains a Priority for Annual Appropriations Cycle
Staff is not recommending that Perris Valley Line be included in the 1-215 Corridor
proposal for authorization. This project has been receiving federal funds from the
annual appropriations bills passed by Congress. Perris Valley Line is eligible to
receive a Project Construction Grant Agreement (PCGA) from the Federal Transit
Administration, which would create an obligation for the federal government to
fund the project up to $75 million. Annual appropriations from'the Small Starts
program sponsored by Senator Feinstein have set aside approximately $47 million
for the project in the last two fiscal years. The Commission will continue to
request appropriations for Perris Valley Line until the project has received its
maximum federal share of $75 million.
1-10 Corridor Improvements
41-Lewis, 45-Bono Mack
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments and their local agency partners in
the desert have spent many years developing a series of five important interchange
reconstructions on 1-10. These interchanges have serious economic development,
air quality, and congestion relief implications for the Coachella Valley. The free
flow of people and commerce off of 1-10 is critical to the future of the valley. A
major obstacle to delivering these five interchanges has been securing funding in an
environment where construction costs escalated globally and budget problems
plagued the state and federal governments. The ARRA presented an opportunity
for a breakthrough. At its March meeting, the Commissiondesignated the
Palm Drive/I-10 and Bob Hope Drive/Ramon Road/1-10 interchanges as priorities for
investment using the Commission's anticipated ARRA funds.
Once these two "stimulus" projects go to construction, there will be three
remaining 1-10 interchanges to build: Indian Avenue/I-10, Jefferson Street/I-10,
and Date Palm Drive/1-10. Assuming timely enactment of the new authorization
bill, all three projects could stand to benefit from new federal funding. While local
and state commitments have been made to fully fund the projects once they are
ready to go to construction, downturns in state and local revenue present potential
future obstacles. Staff recommends that the Commission maintain a corridor
approach on 1-10 and request at least $110 million for all five' interchanges to
guarantee delivery of these projects once pre -construction work is completed.
Urgency Item
6
Staff has been in communication with CVAG regarding these interchanges and their
potential for federal authorization funding. If this priority designation is approved
by the ad hoc committee, staff will continue to work with CVAG in preparing a
strong and detailed application to our Member offices.
Transit
Riverside Transit Agency and SunLine Transit Agency will also be asked to prepare
requests for High Priority Projects. Staff recommends that the Commission work
cooperatively with these operators to develop strong requests for their priority
projects. Based on the structure of previous authorization bills, transit projects
should not compete with the Commission's highway and grade separation
priorities. It is not yet known what priorities the two operators will endorse,
however the Commission can work cooperatively to ensure that the transportation
community in Riverside County presents a strong package to Congress.
Next Steps
At the direction of the ad hoc committee, staff will begin preparing documentation
to support each High Priority Project request. Staff requests approval of this three -
corridor concept and the projects within those corridors, as well as direction to
work with regional partner agencies in the development of a coordinated advocacy
strategy.
Due to the deadlines provided by the T&I Committee, time will be of the essence.
The May 8 deadline for Members to submit project requests to T&I likely means
that Members will ask the Commission to submit its projects for review one or two
weeks ahead of the May 8 deadline. Given that these instructions were given last
week, it does not provide for a normal course for full Commission consideration
before the May 8 deadline. The ad hoc committee's recommendation will be taken
to the full Commission. Commission staff and lobbyists are prepared to move
quickly at the direction of the ad hoc committee.
As the introductory paragraph to this staff report indicates, the timing of
authorization activities has been a constant question since federal economic
stimulus legislation began to be contemplated late last year. Despite Chairman
Oberstar's assertions that the House will move quickly to pass a new bill, it is not
yet known what Speaker Pelosi's disposition is and few details about the Senate's
calendar (other than Senator Boxer's pledge to do a bill on -time) are known.
Urgency Item
7
Ultimately, the goal of approving a Commission -sponsored suite of projects and
including them in the House bill is to establish a precedent in the public record that
Riverside County infrastructure is a national and regional priority. While the timing
of the legislation may change several times, staff recommends ,that Commission
projects be part of the initial draft.

transportation authorization act result in tangible transportation and safety benefits, the Committee
on Transportation and Infrastructure leas adopted the following principles for Metnber-designated
High Priority Projects:
➢ The Committee requires all projects to meet eligibility criteria under Title 23=
(I-lighways) or Chapter 53 of Title 49 (Public Transit) of the United States Code to ensure
that HPPs comply with highway and transit program objectives. In addition, the
Committee specifically prohibits HPP funding for non -surface transportation
projects, such as funding of transportation museums, horse trails, historic
battlefields, and other non -transportation projects.
➢ The Committee requires Members to provide specific information on the type,
location, total cost, percentage of total cost that the request would finance, and
benefits of the project, in order for the Committee to effectively analyze the merits of the
project request.
The Committee requires Members to specifically identify funding to finance at least
80 percent of the total cost of the phase or segment of the project requested by either
(1) the amount requested by the Member; or (2) the amount requested by the
Member and other specifically designated Federal, state, local, or private funding
sources. The intent of this provision is to increase the likelihood that construction of the
project will be underway during the term of the act.
To ensure that HPPs have significant state or local support, the Committee requires
Members to provide at least one letter of support for the project from the state
Department of Transportation or affected local government or governmental agency.
The Committee requires such government or agency to specify the process that will be
followed to provide an opportunity for public comment (such as the Environmental
Impact Statement or other permitting process that requires public review) on the project.
The Committee also requires such government or agency to identify other Federal, state,
local, or private funding sources that may be used to advance the project.
➢ To ensure greater transparency and accountability for HPPs, the Committee establishes
the following transparency and accountability principles:
Members are required to certify that neither the Member nor his or her spouse
has any financial interest in a project requested;
• Members are requited to post requests for projects on the _Member's website;
April 2, 2009
Page 3
▪ The Committee win afford the U.S. Department of Transportation at least 20
days to review all project requests to ensure that the projects meet program
eligibility criteria;
' A list of all Member -designated High Priority Projects that are ineluded in the
bill will be posted on the Committee website; and
A copy of all Member financial interest certifications for HPPs that are
included in the bill will be posted on the Committee website.
The Committee intends to repeal prior 1STEA and TEA 21 project designations tha
have not proceeded to constniction or have remaining unused funds to ensure the
effective use of highway and transit funds.
The Committee will accept HPP requests that adhere to these specific principles
beginning on April 27, 2009, and ending on May 8, 2009. Members will have the opportunity to
submit project requests through the Committee's online database, which will be located at
bttp://hpp.transportation.house.gov. Members will be required to submit both electronic and hard'
copies of all High Priority Project requests. Online answers to the enclosed questionnaire will be
required for each project submission.
We strongly recommend that Members immediately begin to compile the
information and letters of support necessary to complete their project requests.
To assist Members in this process, the Committee will hold a series of staff briefings and
question -and -answer sessions for Congressional staff, as follows:
Date Time Location
April 8, 2009 2:00 p.m. 2167 Rayburn HOB
April 15, 2009 2:00 p.m. 2167 Rayburn IIOB
Apnl 24, 2009 10:00 a.m. 21.67 Rayburn HOB
May 1, 2009 2:00 p.m. 2167 Rayburn HOB
In addition, on April 28, 2009, in room 2167 of the Rayburn House Office Building, the
Subcommittee on Highways and Transit will hold a hearing to receive testimony from Members of
Congress regarding project requests. Although participating in the hearing will not impact the
inclusion of a requested project in this legislation, the hearing will provide an opportunity for
Members to publicly discuss the needs of their district and the merits of their project requests. If
you are interested in participating in this hearing, please contact the Subcommittee on Highways and
Transit staff at (202) 225-9989.

We believe that Member -designated projects can play an appropriate role in the upcoming
surface transportation authorization act, and that the High Priority Project reform principles will
ensure that projects that receive funding will result in tangible transportation and safety benefits.
We appreciate your willingness to work with us to ensure that this process meets the lushest
standards of transparency and accountability,
