BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Metrolink Proposed Fare Increase and Change in Transfer Policy There are several changes being proposed by staff to the Metrolink Board of Directors at its April 24, 2009 Board meeting. While the proposed changes, if approved, would go into effect at different times during the upcoming fiscal year, Metrolink is sharing all of the information with the public in order to obtain final budget approval by each of the five member agencies before the new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2009. While the exact dates for some of these potential changes are not confirmed, especially those linked to new technology, the budget will anticipate that all might occur in the new budget year. The proposed changes fall into two areas  a proposed fare increase and proposed changes to Metrolink's transfer policy. The Metrolink Board will be considering an average annual system wide fare increase ranging from 3.5% to 5.5%. If approved by the Board, the new fares will go into effect on July 1, 2009. In 2004, Metrolink's Board of Directors approved a plan to restructure its fare policy over a 10-year period beginning July 1, 2005. Under the restructuring plan, all ticket prices are now based on a measurement of the driving distance between stations. In March 2007, the Board approved a 3.5% system wide average fare increase effective July 1, 2007 and voted to implement the same 3.5% system wide average fare increase on July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2009. The Board also noted that any increases above the 3.5% system wide average would require a public outreach process prior to Board consideration. Agenda Item 7A Since Metrolink's inception in 1992, Metrolink tickets have included a transfer to connecting transit to nearly all of the transit lines that connect to stations. Participating transit operators have visually inspected Metrolink tickets and billed Metrolink for the Metrolink passengers they carried. Metrolink is one of only three commuter rail services in the country to offer free transfers. As Metrolink is a regional system spanning six counties, interacting with dozens of connecting transit systems, it must consider the ticketing policies and technology of all the operators. Metrolink's new policy will allow for the accommodation of changes in other counties. Each of the connecting transit operators in the six counties Metrolink serves maintains a separate way of collecting revenue from ticket sales. Due to budget factors, Metrolink can no longer afford to provide these connections free of charge, but will continue to subsidize between 60% and 70% of the costs to minimize the impacts to monthly pass and ten -trip ticket riders. Before proposing a change in policy, Metrolink reviewed and rejected several other options, including the potential for customers to pay the entire transfer fare cost for their connection. As a result of the connecting transit fare policy and technology changes with the implementation of the Transit Access Pass or "TAP" smart card fare payment system within Los Angeles County and the installation of fare gates at Los Angeles METRO rail stations, a rider "co -payment" and the following technology related changes are proposed by Metrolink staff and its Board of Directors for implementation: • For customers transferring to METRO bus and rail services in Los Angeles County, Metrolink monthly pass and 10-trip ticket holders would be required to use a registered TAP smart card and pay a portion (between 30% and 40%) of their connecting transfer costs through the TAP smart card program. Metrolink tickets will have a special printed coupon code to be used to purchase connecting transit passes at this special discount rate through the TAP service center either online at www.taptogo.net or by phone. This would also apply to all other connecting transit operators in Los Angeles County as they join the TAP program. • Metrolink one-way and round trip tickets would no longer include the transfer privilege for connections with the EZ Transit Pass, the existing program allowing transferability between Los Angeles County transit operators, or TAP -enabled operators in Los Angeles County. Customers using one-way and round trip tickets would be required to pay the regular fare to use connecting transit services. All Metrolink tickets would continue to be valid for non-EZ Transit Pass transfers to connecting transit services that have not joined the TAP program and to those outside of Los Angeles County (OCTA, Omnitrans, RTA, etc.). Free transfers with valid Metrolink tickets will continue until an operator joins the TAP program or there is any significant increase in the rate charged to Metrolink, at which point a co -payment could be required.

This is an increase of 21.21 % over the 33,615 trips provided at this point last year, attributed to increased gasoline prices and continued promotion. The success of this service is due in large part to the coordinated marketing efforts among the Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and San Bernardino Associated Governments. Most responsibilities for marketing of the service have transitioned to Metrolink, including revised seat drops, branding, and consolidation of the various weekend services under a single promotional umbrella.

In order to meet these requirements, the Commission has worked with Metrolink and local transit operators to offer connecting services to and from Riverside County Metrolink stations at no cost for those with valid Metrolink tickets. Within Riverside County, services include free transfers to routes operated by Riverside Transportation Agency (RTA), RTA's Commuter Link service and Corona Cruiser. The following graphs show total monthly Metrolink transfer passenger trips on each of the three services.

(PB) to perform additional preliminary engineering and environmental services required for the preparation of a Ca!trans Project Report and Environmental Document (PR/ED) for the development of proposed improvements to the State Route 91 corridor, from SR-241 to Pierce Street, and on Interstate 15, from Hidden Valley Parkway to Cajalco Road, for the amount of $2,536,181; 2) Approve an adjustment to the project budget for the amount of $2,536,181, for a total not to exceed amount of $35,077,485; 3) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; 4) Authorize the Executive Director to execute future amendments from the proposed contingency balance; and 5) Forward to the Commission for final action. • BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In early 2006, the Commission directed staff to develop a Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan for the first 10 years of the 2009 Measure A Program. Throughout 2006, staff and the Public/Private Financing and Delivery Plan Ad Hoc Committee developed the 10-Year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan (Delivery Plan) and in December 2006, the final Delivery Plan was presented and approved by the Commission. In this action, the Commission also Agenda Item 9 12 directed staff to proceed with consultant selection services for preliminary engineering and environmental services required for the development of a Caltrans PR/ED to implement all of the new projects identified in the Delivery Plan. The proposed SR-91 corridor improvements, outlined in the Delivery Plan, were given a high priority by the Commission. In July 2007, the Commission approved the selection process and awarded Agreement No. 08-31-001-00 to PB to provide preliminary engineering and environmental services for the preparation of a Caltrans PR/ED for the proposed improvements to the SR-91 Corridor, from SR-241 to Pierce Street, and on 1-15, from Hidden Valley Parkway to Cajalco Road, for a base amount of $26,930,574 with a contingency of $5,610,730 for a total not to exceed amount of $32,541,304. PB was issued a notice to proceed on September 4, 2007, with a 42-month schedule to complete the PR/ED. The scope of services, schedule and respective cost of services negotiated as part of the original agreement was based primarily upon the Delivery Plan and the following three studies: • Caltrans State Route 91 Project Study Report (SR-91 PSR) - Final • RCTC State Route 91 Corridor A Median Viaduct Study (SR-91 Corridor A) • Caltrans Interstate 15 Project Study Report (1-15 PSR) - Draft The Caltrans SR-91 PSR proposed the following improvements: 1. The addition of an eastbound (EB) auxiliary lane from SR-241 to SR-71, a Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) project to be developed and constructed by OCTA, and potential EB mixed flow/auxiliary lane by the Commission; 2. The addition of one westbound (WB) mixed flow lane and one WB auxiliary lane from SR-241 to SR-71; 3. Improvements to the existing SR-91 /SR-71 interchange, excluding the EB collector -distributor system from Green River Road to SR-71 and the new direct connector from EB SR-91 to northbound (NB) SR-71; 4. The addition of one mixed flow lane and one auxiliary lane, in each direction, from SR-71 to Pierce Street, in the city of Riverside; 5. Interchange improvements, at all existing interchanges, from SR-241 to Pierce Street, in the city of Riverside; and 6. The addition of a collector -distributor system on SR-91, in both directions, from Lincoln Avenue to 1-15. The original PB SR-91 corridor improvement project scope of services included studies for two base alternatives as follows: Agenda Item 9 • • • 13 " Alt No. 1  Addition of one general purpose lane, in each direction, and a direct carpool connector from SR-91 to 1-15. Alt No. 2  Includes all improvements associated with Alt No. 1 plus the extension of the express lanes, on SR-91 from the Orange County line to Pierce Street, and on 1-15 from north of SR-91 to Cajalco Road. At the time staff presented the original agreement to the Commission for approval, staff recommended a contingency of $5,610,730, approximately 20% of the agreement value, based upon a risk analysis of all the known project variables. PB is currently 44% complete with the PR/ED. Over the past 18 months, PB has worked diligently to develop the preliminary engineering plans and ascertain the environmental impacts associated with the proposed improvements for the two base alternatives. During this development phase, various stakeholders provided input in further refining the base alternatives. This necessitated further analysis and development of additional design variations to the base alternatives. The following is a summary of amendments to date utilizing the contingency: AMENDMENT NO. DESCRIPTION OF ADDITIONAL SERVICES COST Authorized Contingency $5,610,730 Amendment No. 1 Previously approved " Additional survey and mapping. " Develop geometrics for the ultimate SR-91 /I-15 interchange and 1-15 corridor typical section. " Additional tolled median connector from SR-91 to 1-15 North. " Wage rate escalation. " Develop feasibility study for Corona Mid -City Express Lane access. ($2,136,240) Amendment No. 2 Previously approved " Additional work associated with identifying utilities impacted by the project and proposed relocation costs. " Additional hydraulic study. " Additional ramp closure study. " Additional work associated with the development of the Right -of - Way Relocation Impact Report. ($488,196) Total Approved Amendments ($2,624,436) Agenda Item 9 14 Available Contingency $2,986,294 Proposed Amendment No. 3 • The original scope of the project established two alternatives to be studied which were based on the Caltrans PSR relative to impacts on local interchanges. The baseline alternatives that are now set for the project are significantly more extensive requiring a significant amount of work that was not originally scoped. • Additional design variations have been added at the Maple Avenue and at the Lincoln Avenue interchanges. • At the request of the city of Corona, an additional mid -city access alternative, at Smith Avenue, is proposed to be studied with Alternative 2. This adds an additional design variation to each of the design variations at Maple Avenue and Lincoln Avenue for a total of four additional variations for Alternative 2. These changes in the scope translate to an increase in effort for a number of project tasks. • The centerline shift of 22' is needed to minimize throwaway costs for improvements that will be constructed as part of the EB lane addition project and mitigate impacts of the Mindeman slide on the south side of SR-91. ($2,536,181) Total Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 $(5,160,617) Available Contingency $ 450,113 Proposed Replenishment of Contingency $2,536,181 Proposed Contingency Balance $2,986,294 Agenda Item 9 • 15 " " PB is at a point in its schedule where it has substantially completed the details of the two base alternatives for the project to allow for the finalization of all the preliminary engineering and environmental studies required for the Caltrans PR/ED. The original scope of the project included two alternatives which were generally based on the Caltrans SR-91 and 1-15 PSR's and Corridor A Study. The make-up of the baseline alternatives that are now set for the project are significantly greater than what was originally scoped, mainly due to alternate design variations at a majority of the local interchanges along SR-91, in the city of Corona. The city of Corona has also requested that the Commission study mid -city access to the Express Lanes as part of Alternative 2, the Express Lanes alternative. The Corona Mid -City Access Alternative adds additional design variations, to be studied, at Maple Avenue and Lincoln Avenue interchanges. These changes in scope translate to an increased effort in the finalization of the studies required for the SR- 91 corridor improvement project PR/ED. It is critical that all alternatives and design variations are thoroughly analyzed prior to completion of the project report and circulation of the environmental document. Omission of a suggested design variation may potentially delay the Record of Decision and approval of the environmental document. Staff requested and received a scope of services and respective cost of services from PB for the additional alternative scope outlined above. Staff has completed negotiations with PB and has come to an agreement for the additional scope and associated cost. Staff is recommending approval of Amendment No. 3, for a not to exceed amount of $2,536,181. Staff is also recommending that the Commission approve an adjustment to the project budget in the amount of $2,536,181 to supplement the project contingency for these additional services. This action, in addition to the previous Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, would bring PB's base amount to $32,091,191 with a remaining contingency of $2,986,294 for a total not to exceed amount of $35,077,485. The SR-91 corridor improvement project is currently scheduled to complete the PR/ED by the spring of 2011.

The original scope of the project established two alternatives to be studied which were both generally based on Caltrans PSR relative to impacts on local interchanges. The baseline alternatives that are now set for the project are significantly more extensive than what was originally scoped. In addition, design variations have been added including one additional variation at Maple Avenue and one additional variation at Lincoln Avenue which apply to both alternatives. RCTC has also requested that a Mid -City access point be studied at Smith Avenue with Alternative 2. This adds an additional design variation to each of the design variations at Maple Avenue and Lincoln Avenue for a total of four additional variations for Alternative 2. These changes in the scope translate to an increase in effort for a number of project tasks as listed below. 100.05 Project Coordination/Administration/Management PB will provide overall project management, coordination, and supervision of project staff to facilitate the performance of the work in accordance with the scope and requirements of RCTC. 100.10.10.7 QA/QC Independent Third Party Review PB shall perform quality control reviews in accordance with the approved Quality Assurance Program for the reports, plans, studies, estimates, and other documents submitted for the project. "Continuous" quality control reviews by discipline and task managers and their production staff is included in the respective production tasks. The QA/QC Independent Third Party review is for the separate, milestone independent review of major deliverable documents (e.g., Project Study Report, Project Report, Environmental Document and Technical Studies, etc.). 160.10.10 Prepare Traffic Forecasts/Modeling Traffic forecasts will be prepared through the application of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Transportation Analysis Model developed by PB for application in the Measure A Ten Year Implementation Plan and Toll Feasibility Analysis. Traffic forecasts will be prepared for the various components of the transportation network associated with the proposed mid -city access. Average Daily Traffic (ADT), AM and PM peak hour forecast volumes will be generated for the mid - city access alternative in combination with the various design variations for incorporation into the detailed traffic engineering, environmental analysis, and engineering design tasks. Traffic forecasts will be prepared for 2015 and 2035. 17 160.10.11 Perform Traffic Operational Analysis Traffic analysis will be conducted Tor the ramp intersections that are likely to be impacted by improvements to the SR-91 Corridor through incorporation of mid -city access. The various combinations of mid -city access and design variations will be evaluated for potential impacts and appropriate mitigation measures identified.. 160.10.15 Geometric Plan Development for Project Report PB will develop conceptual layouts for additional toll facilities (i.e. signing and toll gantries) related to a mid -city access point at Smith Avenue. 160.10.16 Prepare Construction Staging Concept Plans PB will prepare concept stage construction plans for the additional design variation at Lincoln Avenue. The construction staging concept plans will depict the overall sequencing of construction for each alternative to balance the construction production, traffic delay impact, and cost affordability. The construction staging concept plans will show where the construction is occurring and where traffic is maintained during construction (i.e. identify opened lanes of travel and general construction areas). 160.10.41 Determine Right of Way Requirements PB will determine Right of Way requirements for the additional design variation at Lincoln Avenue. Right of Way requirements will be established in Microstation format and tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet with parcel number identification and area of take required. 160.10.70 Perform Traffic Studies Capacity analysis will be conducted using methods described in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) for the intersections impacted by the potential implementation of mid -city access.

Due to the size and complexity of the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project, a number of key assumptions and clarifications for the scope of work were documented in the contract negotiation process by the PB Design Team for all areas of work to be performed by the PB Design Team for RCTC. As the SR-91 CIP design has evolved, a significant amount of additional design analysis has been realized to define the project more clearly to meet the goals and objectives of RCTC, Caltrans and the local agencies. This design analysis is outside the limits of the scope of work and fee assumptions that were presented and documented with RCTC during the contract negotiation process. The key assumptions that were presented in the original scope of work included: " Two alternatives are to be developed consisting of Alternative No. 1 - Caltrans Approved PSR Alternative 4. and Alternative No. 2  Caltrans Approved PSR Alternative 4 with Express Lanes. " Conceptual interchange analysis was budgeted for each local interchange affected by the widening of SR-91 and for a County Line HOT ingress/egress configuration. A total of 1500 hours was budgeted for conceptual interchange analysis of Segment 1 to include SR-241/Gypsum Canyon Road, Green River Road (WB on -ramp and EB off -ramp only), Auto Center Dr., Maple St. and one system interchange for HOT ingress/egress at the County Line. " A total of 1000 hours was budgeted for non-standard features analysis. This did not have a defined work program but was included on the assumption that some focused analysis would be needed in the corridor to evaluate possible options for the use of non-standard features in certain areas of the project. " If the SR-91/SR-71 PR/ED effort was to be performed by another consultant then all work within the project limits of the SR-91/SR-71 interchange, except for the Green River WB on -ramp and EB off - ramp, was excluded from the SR-91 CIP work program. The intent was that this work from the SR- 91/SR-71 project would be referenced into the SR-91 CIP project. " Project cost estimates were to be prepared for the two Project Report Alternatives (as defined above). " Within the above alternatives, it was assumed no profiles for the mainline widening would be developed or prepared for the Project Report.

" 34 layout sheets and 17 profile sheets for Alternative 1 would be developed for the Project Report. " 34 layout sheets and 22 profiles sheets for Alternative 2 would be developed for the Project Report Federal and State requirements, coupled with the major investment being made by RCTC, required a comprehensive Value Analysis process to be performed. Typically a Value Analysis (VA) session would require attendance and supporting analysis work over the course of the VA session (from 6  15 days). Given the cost to be invested in the project and the complex nature of the project (Santa Ana River, Mindemann Slide, separate SR-91/SR-71 project, separate OCTA eastbound lane addition project, and local access interchange deficiencies), ten separate altematives and/or design variations within Segment 1, such as major local interchange reconfigurations at Auto Center Dr./Maple St., were identified through the VA session. This involved a significant increase in the level of effort to be performed for the Geometric Plan Development task over the 2500 hours budgeted for this type of "back and forth" conceptual plan development that occurs prior to the preparation of the actual Project Report plans. As a result of the Value Analysis implementation meeting, which took place on September 10, 2008, of the 30 value analysis alternatives developed, seven were accepted for further development and four were identified as conditionally accepted pending further analysis. Based on further analysis and discussion with the City of Corona and ROTC, the following alternatives will be incorporated into the project alternatives and carried forward in the environmental document relative to Segment 1 of the project.

The minimization and avoidance is accomplished by shifting the SR-91 approximately 22' to the north. This re -alignment would require re -designing the mainline geometrics and profile. The shift in the SR-91 would require an additional 12 profile sheets, and a more complex geometry design compared to the originally planned outside mainline widening, which was not included in our original scope of work. Due to the non-standard interchange spacing of the Auto Center Drive and Maple Street interchanges, the design variations developed by the team require significant reconfiguration to the existing interchanges. The reconfiguration and additional design variations would require additional effort for geometric development, advance planning studies, determination of environmental impacts and right-of- way requirements, and cost estimates. Preparation of additional layout sheets and profile sheets would be required for the Project Report for each design variation. These tasks were not included in our original scope of work. Based on discussions with RCTC and City of Corona, it was determined that an access point to the Express Lanes within Alternative 2 be provided near the western half of the City of Corona. A feasibility analysis was authorized; conducted under a separate contract amendment; and determined that drop ramps would be provided from the Smith Avenue overcrossing directly into the median of SR-91 to the Express Lanes. The addition of Mid City Access will include additional design variations within the vicinity of the Auto Center Drive and Maple Street interchanges. The additional variations would require additional effort for geometric development, advance planning studies, determination of environmental impacts and right-of-way requirements, and cost estimates. Preparation of additional layout sheets and profile sheets would be required for the Project Report for each design variation. These tasks were not anticipated in our original scope of work. 100.05 Project Coordination/Administration/Management RBF will provide overall project management, coordination, and supervision of project staff to facilitate the performance of the work in accordance with the scope relative to the additional design variations and Mid City Access. 100.10.10.7 QA/QC Independent Third Party Review RBF shall perform quality control reviews in accordance with the approved Quality Assurance Program for the reports, plans, studies, estimates, and other documents submitted for the project. "Continuous" quality control reviews by discipline and task managers and their production staff is included in the respective production tasks. The QA / QC Independent Third Party review is for the separate, milestone independent review of major deliverable documents (e.g., Project Study Report, Project Report, Environmental Document and Technical Studies, etc.). The additional design variations incorporated into Segment 2 and 3 would require additional effort by RBF to perform independent reviews of Geometric and Advance Planning Study submittals. 160.10.15 Geometric Plans Development for Project Report OCTA and Caltrans District 12 are currently preparing PS&E for an additional general purpose lane in the eastbound direction of SR-91. RBF prepared cost estimates to determine the throw away costs of the currently proposed Caltrans District 12 eastbound lane addition project relative to the retaining walls adjacent to the EB SR-91. Geometric development was presented to the PB team and Caltrans to demonstrate the possibility of not constructing the existing EB retaining wall while maintaining the existing lane configuration along SR-91. Parsons Transportation Group (PTG), on behalf of RCTC is currently preparing the Project Report and Environmental Document for the SR-91/SR-71 interchange. RBF prepared maps illustrating the compatibility of the SR-91/SR-71 PA/ED to minimize throw away costs and reduce overlap in the projects. Exhibits, schematics, and comparison charts were prepared to facilitate the decision to change the scope of work of both the SR-91 PA/ED and SR-71 PA/ED. Several meetings were attended by RBF with RCTC, PB, and PTG in effort to coordinate both projects successfully. As a result of this effort, the RBF Consulting " Amendment No. 2  Revised Alternatives for the SR-91 CIP PPF CONSULTING PLANNING " DESIGN " CONSTRUCTION Page 3 of 7 25 auxiliary lanes between SR-71 and Auto Center Drive and the W B Green River Off -ramp was transferred to the SR-91 CIP scope of work. During the VA session, the VA team requested RBF to prepare conceptual engineering design layout drawings, typical cross sections, and profiles using applicable Ca!trans or other agency standards for the following ten (10) value analysis altematives: • Altemative 1.4 — Construct Six HOT Lane Configuration • Altemative 2.0 — Construct Direct Connector for Southbound SR-71 to Westbound SR-91 • Altemative 4.0 — Provide Standard Lane Drop for Westbound SR-91 West of SR-241 • Altemative 5.1 — Reconfigure Auto Center Drive as a Partial Clover Interchange • Altemative 5.2 — Reconfigure Eastbound Auto Center Drive and Eastbound Maple Street Ramps • Altemative 5.3 — Construct Westbound Flyover On -Ramp at Maple Street • Altemative 5.2 & 5.3 — Extension of 6h Street with Westbound Flyover On -Ramp at Maple Street • Altemative 6.0 — Realign SR-91 between Maple Street and Auto Center Drive • Altemative 7.0 — Realign SR-91 North between SR-241 and Green River Road • Altemative 9.0 — Realign Access Road for Star Ranch Due to the additional effort to coordinate the adjacent projects, such as the OCTA eastbound lane addition project and SR-91/SR-71 project, and the magnitude of the geometric analysis resulting from the Value Analysis sessions; a significant increase in the level of effort was performed for the Geometric Plan Development task over the 2500 hours budgeted for this type of "back and forth' conceptual plan development prior to preparation of the actual Project Report plans. The conceptual plan development within the original work program was to be used to further define the Alternatives that were to be included in the Project Report and Environmental Document. The scope of improvements to be included in the Project Report and Environmental Document of the SR-91 CIP was determined in October 2008 after further analysis of the VA alternatives. At that time, RBF performed 4000 hours within the Geometric Plan Development task, resulting in an additional 1500 hours outside our original scope assumptions and work program. Based on the alternatives that were developed during the Value Analysis and discussions with RCTC and City of Corona, additional design variations for the two base alternatives have been incorporated into the project for the Project Report and Environmental Document. The additional design variations are referenced in Table 1 and Table 2, above. The original work program assumed no profiles would be prepared as part of the widening of the SR-91 mainline. Additionally, the development of geometrics was assumed for one alternative per local interchange and would be generally limited to their existing configurations. Due to the incorporation of the additional design variations, two to four altematives at one local interchange would exist within Alternative 1 and Altemative 2, respectively, within the vicinity of Auto Center Drive and Maple Street. The complexity of the additional design variations reconfigures the interchanges outside of their existing configurations_ The original scope work assumed 34 layout sheets for each alternative to be prepared for the Project Report, which was a combined total of 68 sheets for both altematives. The additional design variations near the vicinity of Auto Center Drive and Maple Street interchange will require an additional 8 layout sheets for Altemative 1 and 30 layout sheets for Alternative 2. Profiles will also be provided for the asymmetrical mainline widening utilizing aerial topographic mapping and record drawing information. The shift in the SR-91 would require an additional 12 profile sheets, which was not anticipated in our original scope of work. For ramp profiles, the original scope of work assumed 17 profile sheets for Alternative 1 and 22 profile sheets for Alternative 2. The additional design variations near the vicinity of Auto Center Drive and Maple Street interchange and the inclusion of Mid City Access will require an additional 70 profile sheets for Alternative 2. The profiles for the various RBF Consulting Page 4 of 7 Amendment No. 2 — Revised Alternatives for the SR-91 CIP CONSULTING PLANNING • DESIGN • CONSTRUCTION 26 " " ramps and connectors for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 will be mostly identical with the primary variation being at the SR-91 gore areas due to the slightly different join point of the ramp or connector _resulting from the different SR-91 mainline widths for Alternatives 1 and 2. Based on this point and discussions with Ca!trans, profiles for Alternative 1 will not be prepared for the Project Report. As previously mentioned, 17 profiles sheets for Alternative 1 were to be prepared under the original scope of work: These 17 profile sheets will be removed and credited to RCTC under this contract amendment for $66,000. 160.-10.41 Determine Right of Way Requirements In support of the cost estimates prepared for the ten (10) value analysis alternatives and the "Baseline" cost estimate, RBF determined the necessary right of way requirements for each of the value analysis altematives; the "Baseline" Alternative; and calculated full and partial acquisitions of the affected parcels. RBF will assess and determine the physical right-of-way impacts of the additional design variations for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. Right of Way requirements will be established in Microstation format and tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet with parcel number identifications and area of take required. 160.10.85 Structure Advance Planning Study Structure Advance Planning Studies will be prepared for the additional design variations. Due to the SR- 91 mainline shift previously prepared APS will need to be revised based on the revised geometries. It was anticipated that advance planning studies would be prepared for the ingress/egress direct connectors at the County Line in the original scope of work. Per direction from RCTC, the grade separated ingress/egress design variation at the County Line has been eliminated from consideration. Therefore, the APS that would not be prepared for County Line will be used for another APS. The following additional. structures will be provided based on the design variations: " Auto Center Drive Tieback Walls It is assumed one (1) APS will be prepared for Alternative 1 and one (1) for Alternative 2. " EB Maple Street Off -ramp. It is assumed that only one (1) APS will be prepared for the EB Maple Street Off -ramp due to structural similarities between all of the design variations and altematives. " WB Maple Street On -ramp It is assumed one (1) APS will be prepared for Alternative 1 and one (1) for Alternative 2. For Alternative 2, the "worst -case" structure span and width will be selected to encompass all of the design variations. " Maple Street OC It assumed for Alternative 1, two (2) APS will be prepared, which would include separate APS for the bridge replacement as part of Design Variation 1 and tieback walls for Design Variation 3. For Altemative 2, three (3) APS will be prepared, which would include separate APS for the bridge replacement as part of Design Variation 2 and 4, and tieback walls for Design Variation 3. " Smith Ave OC It is assumed one (1) APS will be prepared for the bridge replacement of Smith Avenue OC due to Mid City Access. " Smith Avenue Drop Ramps It is assumed one (1) APS will be prepared for the Smith Avenue Drop Ramps due to Mid City Access.

This cost estimate was prepared to facilitate the decision of which VA developed alternatives would be incorporated into the project. The preliminary estimates assessed roadway and structure costs, right-of-way, and other standard construction elements. Due to the increase of the scope of the project compared to the Caltrans developed Project Study Report; RCTC requested the PB design team to prepare a "Baseline" cost estimate- The Baseline cost estimate was prepared based on the "Baseline" Alternative 2, which included the at -grade ingress/egress concept at the County Line and the Auto Center Drive/Maple Street Design Variation 1 within Segment 1.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual (Manual) was developed to establish the design guidelines to be used for future facilities. This manual will provide guidelines for developing commuter rail stations, park and ride facilities, and multimodal transit centers developed by the Commission. The most immediate projects are the proposed stations along the Perris Valley Line (PVL) Commuter Rail extension between Riverside and Perris planned to begin service in 2012. As part of the PVL projects ability to qualify for Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Small Start funding, the project needs to meet strictly defined Cost Effectiveness Index (CEI) scores and maintain the total project cost below a $250 million cap. The Manual therefore focuses on how to meet the following goals as it relates to the PVL stations and future Commission facilities: " Safety and Security " Environmental Sustainability " Facility Standardization " Compliance with the Cost Effective Index " Reduce Construction Costs " Reduce Operations Costs " Reduce Maintenance Costs " Ease of Maintenance Agenda Item 10 37 " Ease of Future Expansion (addition of amenities as funding becomes available) One of the primary concerns is that funding for stations in the PVL project plan is limited to approximately $6 million per station including parking, yet the last station constructed at North Main Corona in 2002 had a total cost of approximately $10 million. At start up, the stations need to have relatively minimal amenities and features but should be designed to be expanded as additional funding becomes available. A standardized approach to design simple yet attractive stations will help meet this objective. A major challenge will be to work through a city's approval process, which has historically added significant costs to the projects for additional aesthetic treatments and off -site improvements. Unfortunately with the constraints placed on this project by the FTA for project costs and the Commission's available resources, the Commission may not be able to meet the all of a local city's requests and still have a cost effective project. One key element of this plan will be to establish a cap of 10% of the facility construction costs that can be allowed for city requested off -site improvements. This will be important for all facilities that the Commission develops as project funding gets more competitive. Commuter Rail Station Design Criteria Quick Summary Here is an overview of the many elements of the manual: " Commuter rail stations will meet Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) design requirements. The manual is based on SCRRA's design manual format and addresses the same categories in their document. " Stations will meet required codes and standards. " Changes from design criteria will be reviewed by the Capital Projects Manager assigned to rail and Rail Manager prior to any exceptions. " The goal is to develop cost effective stations that will meet the PVL project budget constraints and minimize unnecessary expenses at the stations. " There will be an emphasis on Environmental Sustainability and "Going Green". " The number of parking spaces is defined at a minimum of 500 unless ridership models determine a lower number is acceptable. " Intermodal access issues are addressed with a preference for separated bus loops that do not conflict with pedestrian traffic. Safe and efficient pedestrian and bicycle access is encouraged. " The parking lot layouts will be reviewed by the traffic engineer and include specific traffic flow designs for ease of station access. This includes exit lanes for easy departure and extra turn lanes whenever possible. In addition, parking lots will have gates to restrict access after hours. Agenda Item 10 w 38 " " Station lighting will be developed to provide a safe environment for passengers. Facility lighting should be standardized between all stations and focus on energy efficiency over aesthetic design. " Platforms will be designed to be safe, clear, and free of obstruction with all required safety and ADA features. No ornate materials will be used on future platforms. " There should be one main canopy for ticket machines and passenger waiting. The central area will have conduit for electronic message signs, vending machines, and other amenities. The start up plan for the PVL envisions no canopies on platforms to minimize costs. " The stations will have fencing and gates for security to better control access and protect the tracks. " Pedestrian track crossings will be designed to meet SCRRA's new safer standards. No overcrossings or undercrossings are anticipated at this time on the PVL, but several recommendations are made in this document in case there is a need for them in the future. " Landscaping will focus on water -wise, drought tolerant plantings that will emphasize reduced overall station water use and maintenance costs. The use of decorative hardscapes will be explored. " Station artwork may be allowed but must be funded outside of the project costs and have minimal operating maintenance costs. " Security cameras will be placed at all stations using standardized equipment and monitored at Downtown Riverside station until a future monitoring station can be constructed at South Perris. " There are minimal plumbing requirements for the stations which include, landscape irrigation, drinking fountains and connections to wash the station platforms. No public restrooms will be provided at the stations to minimize liability and maintenance costs. Restrooms for guards may be added in the future; portable facilities will be made available, as required. (Restroom facilities for multimodal stations will be reviewed on a case by case basis.) " The electrical requirements for the station will be planned to allow for future expansion. The focus will be to identify opportunities for energy efficiency and reduced lighting when station is closed. The goal is to also explore solar power options at the stations. " All equipment shall be standardized and designed to minimize maintenance, trash cans with lids will be provided, bike lockers will be provided that allow for users to provide their own locks, newspaper racks, public telephones, vending machines and information kiosks will be provided. " Alternative power sources will be explored by the station designer. " The Commission will limit offsite improvements to 10% or less of the project budget costs. If required, street improvements should only be completed on %z of the adjacent street and traffic signal upgrades should be built only if detailed traffic analysis requires it. In addition, utility relocation, storm drain modifications, and street frontage improvements will be limited to only those Agenda Item 10 39 specific areas that the facility impacts. Commission action will be needed to approve off site improvements in excess of the 10% of the station costs. • For the layover facility design the Commission will follow SCRRA's standards for layover facility design. • Park and Ride and Multimodal Centers will be designed using the elements of the rail station plans that apply as well as incorporate design standards from Riverside Transit Agency and other public transit operators. The goal of this effort is to provide the best approach to allow the Commission to build, maintain, and operate cost effective and environmentally sustainable facilities that meet the publics' transportation needs. The recommendation is for the Committee to review the basic manual elements and provide guidance to staff. Staff will incorporate Commissioners comments and present a final version to the Commission highlighting the proposed changes.

During the developitHent o this, plan and through discussions with RCTC Station Management arrd MaintenanCe:staff, a number of items were identified which have resulted in excessive maintenance costs. These design criteria will identify those items and will provide alternatives; te..reduce the short and long term operations and maintenance costs of the Stations. These criteria were developed to reduce the Station's construction operations and maintenance costs snc provided environmentally friendly stations, while remaining within the FTA's CEI. These criteria can be readily applied to the future development of Multimodal and Park and Ride facilities. This document will be updated on an as needed basis. Minor changes to this document shall be reviewed and approved prior to incorporation by both the Rail Capital Projects Manager and the Rail Manager. Substantial changes will be reviewed by the Executive Director and presented to the Commission for adoption.

These stations in particular will need to be kept within the program's CEI and reduce long term Operations and Maintenance Costs. RCTC has operated five (5) Commuter Rail stations over the past fifteen (15) years. This experience has indicated that the cost to operate and maintain the stations in a condition acceptable to the patrons is constantly rising.

On November 8, 1988 the Voters of Riverside County approved Measure A authorizing the collection of a one-half percent (1 /2 %) retail transa • ons and use tax (the "Tax") to fund transportation programs and improvements w;€'` he County of Riverside, and adopting the Riverside County Transportation Imprw nt Plan (the "Plan").

The purpose of the newly n, construct and administer the operation of regional e counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Soon after its formation, SCRRA adopted the name `Metrolink' for the commuter rail system it would operate in the five counties. The process of building the new system proceeded in rapid succession. Having already offered right of way, negotiations with Southland railroads quickly concluded for its first 3 lines. Within a year after its formation, Metrolink took delivery of its first passenger cars and began regular rail service on the Ventura, Santa Clarita and San Bernardino Lines in 1992. oL ow RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 3 48 ��mRCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual Service on the Riverside Line commenced in 1993, connecting downtown Riverside to downtown Los Angeles. Under the direction of SCRRA, Metrolink rapidly evolved into one of the fastest growing and most recognized inter -regional commuter rail systems in the country. Four years after service began, facing significant and consistent growth in ridership, Metrolink increased its number of passenger cars. This growth necessitated the expansion of the RCTC owned and operated Metrolink Commuter " Stations from two in 1993 to four by 1995 and five by 2002. In 2002, as Metrolink celebrated its first decade of sit announced the addition of the 91 Line, connecting Riverside and Los Angeles vi; ���&ri ounty.

RCTC purchased the SJBL and adjacent properties in 1993 with Western County Measure A and state rail bonds. BNSF retains exclusive freight operating rights, serving its customers along the line, and will continue to maintain the right-of-way until such time as passenger service begins. RCTC has retained a design engineering consultant and is performing the engineering design of the extension of the Metrolink Service to the City of Perris.

These criteria will be used to determine the minimum number of spaces for each station, which may also be increased or decreased as funding permits. SCRRA requires a minimum of 500 parking spaces on the opening day of the station, if Ridership and Station Usage studies do not justify this number, then discussions will be held with SCRRA to seek a waiver of this requirement. 07_00E4 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 7 • • 52 ram.

All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.4.3 shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. RCTC will also look at potential "Park and Ride" opportunities for Stations located near major interstate or highway facilities. This option may provide other funding options and allow for the expansion of the stations or placement of additional amenities. This will be analyzed on a case by case basis and will only be implemented if the parking required for Station patrons is not impacted. Pedestrian access 07_ 0%4 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 8 53 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.4.3 shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. Pedestrian access will need to be reviewed and approved by Cities, Local Agencies, and other applicable government agencies. The Pedestrian access to the station should be analyzed to determine what would be the most preferred routes into the station. Pedestrian access should be directed to paved areas and barriers placed around areas where pedestrians should not be walking, i.e. within the railroad right-of-way or through landscaped areas. Pedestrian safety will be a key factor in station design.

As part of the station design RCTC will review the demand for bike routes within the stations. These routes will be reviewed to determine their impact to and conflict with vehicle and bus traffic. In addition, they will be reviewed to determine if they can fit within the constraints of the property, i.e. station entrance widths. 3.4.5 Signage All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.4.3 shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. D7_0054 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 9 • 54 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual RCTC is developing standardized signage requirements that will be implemented across all RCTC Stations. The Signage requirements will detail the standard signs to be placed at each station, which is intended to reduce the initial station cost and long term signage replacement costs. The standardization of the signs will allow for RCTC to make bulk purchases of replacement signs that can be used at all stations and will eliminate the high cost to manufacture individual signs for each station. The base station design for PVL shall only incorporate SCRRA and RCTC standard signage, any additional unique signage will need to be fund d by the requesting agency or purchased and installed at a later date when funding bec•' available.

The fence style, color and coatings should attempt to match the fencing placed at the station. By standardizing all fencing at the stations it will reduce the initial purchase cost by allowing bulk quantity purchases. In addition, by having similar fencing at all the stations it will allow for easier maintenance, by allowing RCTC to develop standard maintenance procedures for all the stations. Also RCTC will not have to contract with specialized fence manufactures to make any necessary repairs. 3.6.4 Right -of -Way Fencing 07_ oaa RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 27 • 72 " woo.

At that time all requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.7.2 Overcrossings shall be applied to RCTC Station design with any future SCRRA amendments or changes to their design criteria manual and the following additional RCTC requirements. RCTC has designed and constructed four (4) Pedestrian Overcrossings at their Riverside stations. From this experience RCTC has developed the following requirement to reduce design, construction, and maintenance costs, these requirements will be expanded as additional maintenance issues or concerns arise. 0 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 28 73 twd.

The Riverside County Flood Control is planning on constructing improvements to eliminate the flooding conditions. The timing for this project is unknown and based on initial discussions it will not be constructed until some far out future date. 07_0ow RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 30 75 an. RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual UCR Station The Preliminary Engineering for the PVL Project determined that the proposed UCR Station would be located on a section of single track, with the loading platform on the street side. The station is located between a City Street, Watkins Drive, and private homes. The right of way width for this station limits the potential for an Undercrossing, due to the distance required for ADA compliance. Based on the start up conditions, single track, an Undercrossing at this station location would not be necessary. Based on the site conditions, right of way restrictions, and track geometry it would be difficult to construct an Undercrossing, therefore it unfeasible to anticipate an Unde�.crossing at this station in the future.

This requirement is a result of RCTC's operations of the four (4) Riverside/Corona RCTC Metrolink Stations, where platform landscaping was installed in planters on the platforms. These platform planters required irrigation condu'. s be placed under the concrete platforms. At some stations these lines have deteriorated Ki rleaked resulting in damage to the platforms. Repairs to these irrigation lines have resin portions of the platform having to be removed to make the necessary repair, g in unsightly repairs and extensive maintenance costs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In January 2008, the Commission began construction of the North Main Corona Metrolink station parking structure. As a result, approximately 239 parking spaces were not available to commuters. To address this shortfall, the Commission leased additional adjacent parking. RTA and the Corona Cruiser have operated highly successful shuttle services to the station from the adjacent parking lot. The funding for the RTA shuttle comes from the MOU between SCRRA and the Commission. At its June 30, 2008 meeting, the Commission approved amending the existing MOU with SCRRA to extend the term to June 30, 2009. Since there is the potential for the opening of the parking structure to be delayed, staff is requesting a new amendment to extend the term until December 31, 2009. Staff at SCRRA agrees with this approach and will accept an amendment to the existing MOU that will allow the RTA North Main Corona shuttle service to continue through December 31, 2009 and be fully funded by the Commission. Agenda Item 12 161 The cost for the RTA service after June 30, 2009 will be up to $26,215 a month, or $157,290 for the duration of the project. Funds have been identified to cover the shuttle operating expenditures in both the current and next year's rail operations budget.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In June 2008, SunLine's Board of Directors adopted the FY 2008/09 operating and capital budget of $37,530,810 based on the agency's SRTP. Typically, the SRTPs of public operators are based on the latest revenue estimate amounts available at the beginning of the year. Since then, SunLine's main sources for capital and operating funds, namely STA and federal Section 5307 funding, have been reduced significantly. Revision of FY 2008/09 Measure A revenues as of January 2009 also decreased by about 7%. Furthermore, as of April 2009, the Federal Transit Administration has released only about 43% of projected FY 2008/09 Section 5307 federal funds. In response to these funding declines, SunLine reconfigured both its operating and capital projects and reprogrammed actual funding available. Agenda Item 13 166 It also integrated the additional federal stimulus funds from Sections 5307 and 5311 ARRA programs allocated to SunLine. Operating Assistance Table 1 a of the attachment outlines the original funding structure for operating assistance while Table 1 b shows the proposed modified funding distribution. SunLine is requesting approval to modify its operating funding as follows: • Reflect a decrease of $224,000 in Measure A funding and reduce Section 5307 funding by $960,000 • Reflect an additional $6,517 in Section 5311 revenue • Request a total of $1,177,483 in additional LTF to cover the remaining shortfall and maintain the same funding level for operating assistance The net change in operating expenses for the FY 2008/09 is $0 and there is no impact to the farebox recovery ratio or other Productivity Improvement Program indicators. There are sufficient LTF reserve funds available in the Coachella Valley apportionment to meet this request. Capital Assistance Table 2a of the attachment shows the original capital requests based on the initial SRTP capital funding plan and Table 2b shows the proposed capital project requests based on actual revenue available for the fiscal year. Modification requests are as follows: • Decrease STA capital expenditures by $3,006,837 and reduce Section 5307 expenditures by $751,231 • Decrease CMAQ capital expenditures by $1,836,997 • Include ARRA funding allocated to Coachella Valley for federal Sections 5307 and 5311 in the amounts of $4,714,391 and $452,696, respectively The ARRA stimulus funds applied by SunLine will cover the costs of transit enhancements, facility improvements and the Integrated Transit Service (ITS) project. The ARRA funds do not require any local or state match. Commission staff has reviewed SunLine's reprogramming plan and recommends approval of its operating and capital funding modifications and related amendment to the FY 2008/09 SRTP. SunLine has initiated an update to the FY 2009 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) to reflect these changes in funding. • Agenda Item 13 167 " " " Financial Impact The FY 2008/09 budget is sufficient for the increased LTF expenditures, and an adjustment for the decreased Measure A expenditures was made in January 2009 in connection with the midyear revenue projections. A budget adjustment to reduce STA expenditures by $3,006,837 is required.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: 511 History - 2000 through 2005 On July 21, 2000, the FCC designated 511 as the national travel information number. The FCC ruling did not provide a funding source for the national number and left all of the implementation and funding decisions to the states and local agencies. In August 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU) was signed into law. Section 5306 requires that by 2010, a national 511 system will be established that is to include a "user friendly" telephone service as well as a comprehensive website. Currently, 36 states have some form of 511 system either statewide or in major urban areas. Agenda Item 15 172 Southern California 511 Development — September 2006 through May 2008 As a result of the availability of this new designation and beginning in September 2006, the five surrounding Southern California county transportation commissions (CTCs), along with the local Caltrans districts, began discussions as to how to fund and implement a 511 traveler information system throughout the region. In July 2006, the Los Angeles County Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (LA SAFE) took the lead to develop and release a request for proposal (RFP) for a regional 511 system, in cooperation with the four CTCs and three Caltrans districts. In addition to providing similar services currently offered through 1-800- Commute, the new system would also include a voice activated traffic travel time component and voice activated transit trip planning information. The RFP was released and three proposals were received in early December 2006. The four neighboring CTCs participated as one combined vote in the RFP process. After several scoring changes, seven RFP amendments and three separate best and final offer requests from the proposers, in February 2008, the LA SAFE board approved a 511/MATIS contract for a 10-year period at an amount of $34 million, with an additional 10 percent contingency. Southern California 511 Implementation — May 2008 to December 2008 LA SAFE started work in late May 2008, identifying a January 2009 Launch date. Commission staff has participated on the weekly project development team meetings and conference calls, as well as other weekly meetings that have occurred since work started last year. Due to LA SAFE's inability to deliver Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (Metro) revised trip planner as well as call center contractual issues and traffic map development issues, the planned January 2009 implementation was delayed. LA SAFE's approach is to implement a "soft launch" this summer where the website and phone tree will be implemented and tested, but not promoted. It is entirely possible at this point that the project will launch without the trip planner functionality. A "hard launch" with promotion, advertising, and media would occur several months later after the bugs have been worked out of the system and the missing components deployed. Since LA SAFE began implementation a year ago, Commission staff has stated that a formal commitment to join its program cannot be made until a memorandum of understanding (MOU) is crafted. Staff has been adamant that the MOU must include all costs for development, as well as ongoing operations, and must be brought to all participating CTCs for review and approval. In late December 2008, a draft MOU document was crafted by Commission staff as a means to try and expedite an agreement. This has resulted in several draft agreements being passed Agenda Item 15 • 173 " back and forth between the agencies and their attorneys. Initial drafts of the agreement either stated the need for cost parameters to be attached or that they would be identified and amended into the agreement at a later date. At a conference call in late February 2009, LA SAFE staff, rather than identify these costs, offered to fund the entire baseline deployment for the four neighboring CTCs at no cost. This version of the document is currently with LA SAFE's attorneys awaiting final review. Inland Empire 511 Conceptual Planning - January 2009 to Present Because of project delays and ongoing concerns with respect to the products intended to service commuters and travelers, Commission staff along with SANBAG staff began to seriously contemplate the potential for a separate 511 deployment specific to the Inland Empire. To adequately support this concept, it was determined that an analysis that thoroughly evaluated the ramifications, costs, and impacts to implementing a separate 511 program for the Inland Empire would be necessary as a first step before any recommendation could be made. Staff then worked to craft a conceptual design that would leverage existing products, software programs and investments as much as possible in order to create a durable system that could be deployed quickly and efficiently as well as in a cost effective manner. The attachment contains the Feasibility and Planning White Paper (White Paper) that was prepared as a result of this effort. The White Paper reviews all of the necessary components of a separate 511 program, as well as the associated implementation costs and estimated ongoing operational costs. It is from this document that staff considered the pros and cons for implementation of an Inland Empire 511 specific project so that a recommendation could be made to the Commission. DETAILS OF RECOMMENDATION: In this case, staff recommends that the Commission approve the implementation of Inland Empire 511 in partnership with the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) and direct staff to begin updating the telephone and website systems required to support the project. Specifics of this recommendation are as follows: 1) Update a previous Commission investment in the traffic map and underlying IVR telephone system as provided by Iteris and as is currently used on www.commutesmart.info. This software was developed specifically for the Commission in 2005 and already includes the entire Southern California region, while also reaching to the Arizona and Nevada borders and including San Diego. Agenda Item 15 174 2) Data population of the traffic map will occur through the use of traffic data provided by Caltrans via District 8 direct feed as well as the Caltrans performance enhancement and monitoring system. The map will display travel times on major highways (where detection is available), changeable message signs as well as display incidents and sig alerts as reported by the California Highway Patrol. It should also be noted that the recent groundbreaking of the District 8 Traffic Management Center (TMC) will provide opportunities for future close collaboration with District 8 and 511 in the dissemination of traveler information for the Inland Empire once the center is complete and operational. 3) Use of the existing IVR as provided by Iteris that will be updated and made specific to www.InlandEmpire511.org. The IVR will provide users with an option to receive real time traffic information or to be referred directly to the transit agency live operator call center of their choice. One hundred fifty points of interest will be added to the 400 points of interest that have already been created, which will provide callers with a richer information base so as to enhance their experience of using the system. It is also proposed to incorporate direct call transfer options to 511 systems operating in the states of Nevada and Arizona as well as with 511 systems in Los Angeles and San Diego. The IVR is currently programmed using voice.xml, which is an open source software product and portable to many different IVR systems thus allowing for maximum flexibility in future contracting decisions as well as for cost efficient design. The proposed system update will follow this protocol as well. 4) It is proposed to utilize two sole source contracts with Iteris for the update to the existing software controlled by the Commission as well as for the support of the ongoing operations and maintenance requirements for the system once it is up and running. The proposed action would be consistent with previous Commission action, which resulted in the Commission entering into an agreement with Iteris in 2005 to modify the traffic map and IVR provided to the Commission by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW) to include Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. With respect to the ownership of the intellectual property (the map and IVR software), the Commission previously entered into a no -cost letter agreement with the DPW that allowed the Commission use of the traffic map and underlying IVR for the www.commutesmart.info website. The development of the traffic map was originally commissioned by the DPW through a competitive process that resulted in the original contract award by the DPW to Iteris. Agenda Item 15 • 175 The agreement executed between the Commission and Iteris in 2005 essentially brought -in the Commission with respect to the underlying ownership of the intellectual property associated with the expansion of the map into Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The proposed new agreement with Iteris would reinforce the Commission's ownership stake in the software and result in the Commission receiving a perpetual use license to the traffic map and IVR programming with no further interaction needed with the DPW. 5) The proposed action intends for the use of Google Transit to provide automated transit trip planning information via the website portion of the 511 project. Google Maps is also proposed to be used for the updated map interface as it provides a commonly known base map platform while also allowing for cost efficient design. Both software products are provided by Google at no cost. 6) The proposed action includes an operations and maintenance budget that intends for a call volume baseline of 16,000 callers and 6,400 website hits each month at implementation with the expectation that calls will grow to 81,000 each month by the end of the first year of deployment. Following the same model for how the Commission implements its countywide rideshare program in partnership with SANBAG, it is recommended that the Commission continue to rely on this model of cooperation between the two counties. It is proposed that the Commission take the lead on project design, implementation and operation of the project and contract for the services necessary to both build the system and operate it. SANBAG would reimburse the Commission for 50% of those costs. It should be noted that SANBAG took a request to enter into contract with the Commission to design, build, and implement the Inland Empire 511 on April 15, 2009, and it was unanimously approved by its Plans and Programs Committee with a recommendation for it to be considered by the full SANBAG board for approval in May 2009. The staff recommendation herein is that pending Commission approval, final adoption of the project would be concurrent with the full SANBAG board affirming its desire to participate. DISCUSSION: The Commission is now faced with a decision point with respect to how 511 will be deployed in a manner to best serve Riverside County constituents. At issue is the question of whether to execute the pending MOU with LA SAFE or to deploy a 511 system specific to the . Inland Empire on its own as described and recommended above. Agenda Item 15 176 As such and in order to present a factual accounting of the two options so that a recommendation and decision can be made, it is best to understand the pros and cons of the decision to implement an Inland Empire 511 system, which are . summarized as follows: Implementation of www.InlandEmpire 511.org Option: Pros_ 1) All quality and control rests locally, including contractor selection, data integrity, graphic design, and customer service provision. 2) Easy to maintain a smaller system and make program enhancements when needed, as well as any requests from other stakeholders (Caltrans, transit agencies, and users). 3) Use of Google Transit as the underlying trip planning software is free and covers many different platforms. For instance, Metrolink and Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) are already using it, which will allow Inland Empire 511 to provide transit information for both of those agencies without any additional work. Program enhancements can be made easily and quickly and at a low cost. Riverside Transit Agency is currently completing beta testing of its Google Transit implementation and staff has alreadyentered into talks with SunLine Transit Agency. SANBAG has completed a Google build for OmniTrans and is currently investigating the potential for its other smaller service providers to join all of which results in having complete transit coverage for Riverside and San Bernardino constituents. 4) An Inland Empire deployment provides the region with additional redundancy should either system (LA SAFE or Inland Empire) go off-line due to a natural disaster or other cause for outage. 5) Staff working in concert with its operating partners intends to transfer transit related calls directly to the transit providers for service by their live operators. This leverages existing investments and reduces cost by not developing a separate 511 specific call center as is proposed by the LA SAFE project. 6) Ridesharing and alternative commuting programs are highly emphasized in both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, and it is proposed that this strategy continue and be a highly visible element of an Inland Empire 511 project. Callers requesting ridesharing and alternative commute information Monday through Friday during business hours would be handled directly by the Commission's rideshare contractor. 7) A deployment done in partnership with SANBAG would continue to leverage 20 plus years of a cooperative relationship that exists between the two agencies with respect to providing rideshare and alternative commute services to our constituents. This partnership would also serve to mitigate the financial burden by splitting the costs to develop, operate, and maintain Agenda Item 15 • 177 " the project equally between the Commission and SANBAG. Lastly, with the construction of the Caltrans District 8 TMC, the Inland Empire is not beholden to other Caltrans districts for state of the art traffic and traveler data. This, in concert with a 511 system, results in the ability of our region to provide traveler information specific to the needs of our constituents and commuters. Cons: 1) The Commission would have to commit to current and ongoing funding for the program. While the methodology staff is recommending seeks to leverage existing products as well as "freeware" or open source software so as to minimize costs, there is still a cost to construct the project as well as the expectation by the commuting public that that the project will be operated and maintained for an extended period of time. Accordingly, if approved, there will be an on going financial burden that will need to be absorbed by the Commission. 2) Callers may become confused due to the fact that there would be two 511 deployments in the Southern California region. 3) Purposely and in order to keep initial deployment costs low, a dedicated call center has not been proposed. Use of an IVR without live operator support may be a turn-off to potential users. 4) The Commission and SANBAG take on all liability for implementation and operations. 5) A separate deployment harms the perception of regional cooperation. NEXT STEPS: Pending Commission approval, program development would start in June 2009, with implementation expected by October 2009. Based on what staff understands to be the case with LA SAFE's program, a www.InlandEmpire511.org launch would occur either before, or at the same time of LA SAFE's anticipated hard launch. This would allow the Commission and SANBAG to take advantage of any marketing dollars expended by LA SAFE to promote the initial launch of its program. In addition, the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) has allocated $1 million toward enhanced marketing and outreach of a 511 program and it is believed the MSRC may consider redirecting a portion of those funds away from LA SAFE to the Commission and SANBAG to support marketing/outreach specific to our counties. Agenda Item 15 178 One area impacting the decision is the ability to direct cellular 511 calls to a backend 800 number, based on the county origin of the caller. LA SAFE has agreed to work with the various phone providers (land line and cellular) to achieve this county -specific dialing ability. Staff will have to continue to work with LA SAFE and the phone providers to assure that if a caller is calling in Riverside or San Bernardino County, they will be directed to Inland Empire 511. Staff recommends that $32,500 in Commuter Assistance Measure A funds be available for costs. Commission staff as well as SANBAG staff, have been in discussion with the large transit providers from each county to discuss the coordination necessary for a proper implementation. These talks will need to continue. Lastly, no budget adjustment is currently necessary to begin work on Inland Empire 511. As the Commission nears the close out of the current fiscal year, staff has identified available funds of $75,000 within the Commuter Assistance program budget that will suffice for the month of June, should the Commission direct staff to proceed. The remaining costs for design, construction and operations for the full development and deployment of Inland Empire 511 are included in the proposed FY 2009/10 budget with design and construction costs being funded with Commuter Assistance Program Measure A reserves, and operations once deployed, funded with available call box revenues.

The Paper will explore existing conditions, current technology, an outline of an Inland Empire only 511 system (IE511) as well as estimated one-time capital costs and ongoing operations and maintenance costs. 1.0 Existing Conditions 1.1 Regionwide Telephone Service Services: Today, motorist assistance information in the Inland Empire is handled through a variety of mechanisms: 1-800-COMMUTE is a centralized number funded and controlled by Caltrans and operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). It provides information through an Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) system for the following: " Public transportation: transfers callers out to local transit agencies and Metrolink regional rail service " Freeways and state highways: Caltrans road conditions and construction information " Rideshare and Park and Ride lots: transfers callers out to regional rideshare agencies " Metrolink: transfers callers out to a Metrolink IVR " Bicycle information: refers to the www.bikemetro.com or bikela.org websites The web referral for real-time traffic callers is www.commutesmart.info and for regional travelers, the Caltrans website (www.dot.ca.gov/caltrans511). Use: At the beginning of fiscal year 2003-2004, the system fielded 2.6 million annual calls projected to cost $260,000 per year to acquire the calls (MCI (ECR) and $420,000 for toll free number charges or an average of 16.2 cents per call. Planned system cost was $620,000 per year. Since 2003-2004 period, Caltrans has reported that 1-800- COMMUTE IVR costs have decreased to under $300,000 due to changes in telephone vendors and technological improvements/efficiencies. However, this change has also resulted in lack of data as to the call breakout per agency, so the 2003-2004 fiscal year is the last period of any data broken out by county or by agency. 3 182 Anecdotally, at this point in time Inland Empire calls comprise approximately 6,000 calls per month or 72,000 calls per year using this number. 1.2 Regionwide Web Service Services: Commutesmart.info is a portal website, offering commuters motorist assistance services derived from a variety of partner providers: • Real-time traffic: Through the Los Angeles Department of Public Works CommuteView project, traffic data is derived from Caltrans District 7 and District 8 event data, Caltrans District 8 cameras, CHP incident reports, and historical PEMS data. Current map is static and offers pan features. • Trip Planning: Socaltransport.org—a project of Metro's trip planner that contains So CA transit information • Ridematching: RideMatch.info operated by RCTC using RidePro, a product of Trapeze software • Park and Ride information: provided by RCTC and SANBAG using Google Maps and Google Earth Use: Commutesmart.info was launched in January 2005 with support from a marketing campaign, primarily radio, funded by the Mobile Source Air Pollution Review Committee (MSRC). Total unique visitors in the launch year numbered 221,018 with 553,130 hits. The average for daily visitors was 563. MSRC-funded radio in January 2005 increased traffic as much as 400% over the average during the launch and as much as 200% to 300% during special campaigns, particularly the Rideshare Week campaign and promotions which in September/October of each year. There has been no regionwide advertising support of the website since 2005. Today, traffic averages 405 visitors per day with 11,326 in January 2009. The strongest driver of website visits appears to be gas prices. During the severe gas price increases of 2008, website visits increased as much as 200%. 1.3 Inland Empire Services There are two 1-800-COMMUTE services that are customized by region: public transportation and rideshare and Park and Ride Lot information. Within the Inland Empire, public transportation calls are referred directly to the following transit agencies through 1-800-COMMUTE (note call data is from 2003-2004): 4 183 " " " Riverside County: " Riverside Transit Agency (600 calls/month) " SunLine Transit Agency (25 calls/month) " Riverside Special Services: senior and disabled " Banning Municipal " Beaumont Dial -A -Ride " Corona Dial -a -Ride " Palo Verde Transit Agency San Bernardino County: " Omnitrans (1,018 calls/month) " Victor Valley Transit Agency (V VTA) (43 calls/month) " Mountain Area Transit (MARTA) " Barstow Area Transit (BAT) " Morongo Basin Transit Authority (MBTA) " Greater Needles Area Transit (NAT) Several of the transit agencies above also provide call center services: Riverside Transit Agency: Number of Stops: 3,800 Call Center Volume: 30,000/month Hours of Operation: 6 a.m. 8 p.m. weekdays, 6 a.m.-8 p.m. weekends Trip Planning System: Transtar Google Transit: Validating for launch this summer Major referrals to: Omnitrans, OCTA, Corona Cruiser, Pass Transit, North County Transit District, Metrolink.

The call center handles approximately 500 calls per month. A major function of the center is to handle regionwide ridematching services. Approximately 114,000 ridematches are made annually: 110,000 through employers, 3,000 through www.commutesmart.info, and 800, as a result of commuter telephone calls forwarded from 1-866-RIDESHARE and 1-800-COMMUTE. 2.0 Motorist Assistance Telephone System The Baseline System for a motorist assistance telephone system consists of a 511 telephone system serving customers dialing from all land lines and all calls generated and caught by all cell towers within the county boundaries of the Inland Empire plus a website. Within this system, there are services for a traffic IVR, a transit IVR which routes callers to transit provider operated call centers, and rideshare information routes callers to a RCTC/SANBAG operated call center. 2.1 Telephone Call Switching Telephone systems use a'network of Central Offices (CO) to interconnect telephone lines. There are approximately 44 COs in the Inland Empire, including both AT&T and Verizon. Switching equipment performs the function of establishing and releasing connections on a per -call basis between stations, telecommunication services, or communications systems. The AT&T costs of implementing 511 include a one-time charge of $750 per switch to do the programming to route calls based on their origin and planned destination. Verizon does not have a switching fee for implementing 511. Location Number of AT&T Switches Riverside County 6 San Bernardino County 6 (incl. Baker, Mtn. Pass) San Diego and Fringes 6 (incl. Fallbrook, Camp Pendleton, Pauma Valley, Shoshone, Inyo Estimated Total IE Switches 18 @ $750 = $13,500 AT&T uses Routing Telephone Numbers (RTN) to identify the Central Office which serves the caller, and route the call to the call center designated as the recipient of 511 calls for the Central Offices in the defined 511 Service Area. Only one RTN can be 6 • • 185 associated with any given Central Office. If a Customer (such as IE511) utilizes more than one 511 RTN, it must designate the specific stand-alone Central Offices to be served by each RTN. Whether there is one or two geographically defined 511 sub -areas, the ability to have two designated 511 Central Offices does not resolve concerns with cell phone bleed -over. This is, and will remain, a technical issue related to caller location relative tocell tower location and strength/direction of the signal. ISSUE: Agreements and protocols will need to be developed with LA SANE to address bleed -over calls that are directed to the wrong system. Interoperability in the 511 context refers to the ability to hand off 511 calls between neighboring systems. In many cases this means passing calls from one state's 511 system to the neighboring state's 511 system. Locally, this would refer to the ability to coordinate LA511 with San Diego, for example. In the case of the Inland Empire, this would mean interoperability with Nevada and Arizona systems as well. Furthermore, if LA and the Inland Empire are separate systems, interoperability needs to be addressed. It was recently confirmed that LA does not intend to address interoperability until later stages in their program implementation, based on the assumptions that the Inland Empire counties ARE in the LA system and that interoperability issues would refer to San Diego. and other neighboring systems. ISSUE: For the near term, interoperability with LA and Orange counties would be addressed by establishing telephone transfer protocols. If the IE system transfers to the LA system, call charges would be retained by IE. If negotiations with LA result in them providing IE with a back door number to support the transferred calls, LA would then assume the line charges for that portion of the call. Interoperability with bordering states can be addressed in later phases. There may be future options to co -habit data or share systems so that call transfers will be minimal or unnecessary at a later date. RTN for LA, Orange, Ventura Calls pointed to LA511 Interoperability TBD RTN for Riverside, San Bernardino Calls pointed to IE511 Firms which provide traffic data, most often purchase a certain number of minutes per month. The rates decrease only marginally as the number of minutes purchased increases_ We currently estimate that 1E511 would likely consume 40,000 to 200,000 minutes per month (see Call Volumes below), at an estimated rate of up to 6 cents per minute. Lower usage could cost up to 10 cents per minute initially. 7 186 16,000 calls/month x 2.5 minutes = 40,000 minutes @ 10 cents = $4,000 81,000 calls/month x 2.5 minutes = 202,500 minutes @ 6 cents = $12,150 2.2 Call Centers and Live Operator Support The call center currently available through firms that provide traffic data, only house equipment to support the IVR and databases. There typically are no live operator support function associated with this call center. Transit calls will all be routed to the respective transit agencies or if the transit agency prefers, the caller will hear a recording about service (as done currently with some transit agencies on 1-800-COMMUTE). Rideshare calls will all be routed to the regional rideshare services contractor for the Inland Empire, IECS and questions will be answered by a live operator Monday through Friday excluding holidays from 7 am to 6 pm. After hours, the caller can leave a message and an operator will respond the next business day. Currently, neither the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) or San Diego (the two other robust 511 systems in Califomia) offer live operator support. The issues surrounding having a live operator, is what exactly is the role of an operator and when can a caller opt to talk to an operator? Shall the live operator transfer the caller to their final destination, or provide the actual information the caller is seeking, or give the caller instructions on how to use the IVR and then put them back into the IVR? If live operator support is deemed valuable, it should be available 24n to mirror the hours of the IVR availability. As a result, the costs associated with this support could be substantial. ISSUE: It is recommended that with the initial launch of 1E511 a live operator option not be available. Based on experience with the IVR and customer feedback, this option can be reconsidered at a later point in time. Although live operator support is not recommended for an initial IE511 system, the costs for this option have been explored and assumptions have been included in the final table of costs (see Section 6.0). 2.3 IVR Development Since baseline IVR systems are already established for much of the Los Angeles Region, a modification would be needed to fine tune the IVRs to address IE needs. The work could begin in short order, and take six to eight weeks to develop and implement, and would cost between $250,000 and $270,000. Costs include working with telcos on switching and testing, as well as IVR programming and tuning.

While top-level menu options are charted, it is important to note that barge -in capabilities somewhat negate the need for a specified sequential flow. Each box is a direction or destination that can be reached from any direction or starting point.

They include: Traffic Transit • Spanish language services • Uniform call center hours • Planning multi -modal trips • Planning trips that include services from connecting agencies • Implementing Google Transit at SunLine and other transit providers 2.3.4 Ongoing Enhancements: Later phase enhancements would include after hours IVR for all transit services and overflow IVR for all transit agencies using Google Transit.. 3.0 Website The Baseline System consists of a website that provides the same basic services as the existing www.commutesmart.info website but with greater reliability and quality, including: • Real-time traffic • Transit and trip planning • Transit information • Rideshare counseling • Ridematching services In addition to the above, the IE5111 website will also enhance the above with the following: • Comprehensive regionwide traffic everywhere Caltrans data exists using a Google Map interface • Multimodal trip planning using Google Transit for all of Southern California except Los Angeles County • Rideshare benefits calculators for employers and individuals It should be noted that the website services delivered by an IE511 may be preferable for several reasons: • Better quality and more reliable traffic information • Trip Planning on start up • Compliance with Section 508 ADA requirements for Trip Planning • Multimodal trip planning • Fully integrated rideshare services 10 • • 189 " " " 3.1 Real-time Traffic Real-time traffic will use data fed from Caltrans District 7 and 12, and District 8 event data, Caltrans District 8 cameras, CHP incident reports, and historical PEMs data. This data arrives in variable and inconsistent formats and consulting firms have developed tools for its standardization and translation for a map -based product. This data will be translated and applied to a Google Map interface with pan and zoom features. Traffic data will appear on the map as red, yellow, or green congestion lines for areas where data exists. Area for which there is no data will be shown in gray. The consultant would be required to translate its data stream for the new Google Map interface, create a palette of line thickness for the variable zooms on the map, export existing traffic data as XML files and compose it with the map data. The refresh rate for both the data and the map is yet to be determined but is generally ten minutes. Other traffic data will include: " Travel times by direction traveled in minutes and miles per hour " Changeable Message Signs (CMS) " Incident reports " Event reports " Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) " Streaming CCTV The initial cost for the use of a firm's intellectual property, the translation and standardization of the data feeds and its application to a Google Map interface is $90,000. The timeline to provide the IE511 feed is 45 days. In addition, there are costs for ongoing maintenance. From time to time the generators of the raw data change their formats and data types and the translation software requires updates to handle new and inconsistent input. None of the reporting agencies including CHP and Caltrans give subscribers any notice of these changes. To ensure map and real- time traffic functionality, operations and maintenance must be performed as an on -call service with speedy resolution. As the IE511 product will be a new interface with custom aspects, fine-tuning in the initial phases is estimated at $5,000 to $10,000 per month for the first six months, or $30,000 to $60,000 total. Ongoing operations and maintenance (O & M) fees are estimated at $4,000 to $5,000 per month after the initial period. One -Time Capital Cost Capital Months 1-6 Low Capital Months 1-6 High O & M Ongoing Low O & M Ongoing High $90,000 $30,000 $60,000 $4,000 $5,000 11 190 3.2 Transit Information and Transit Trip Planning Currently, Omnitrans and RTA will have deployed a Google Transit capability at start up. Sunline is working on a Google interface and other transit agencies are open to such an interface. Within the Southern California region, OCTA and Metrolink will be Google Transit participants at start up as well. Metro has rejected Google Transit participation and, according to Google Transit, has defined barriers to participation that are unlikely to be overcome in the short term. " Google Transit will be the default trip planner for the 1E511 website. Near term enhancements should include the geocoding and development of Google Transit services for SunLine as well as potential other transit agencies. Los Angeles trips will be referred to the Metro website. All transit providers within the region, including municipal transit agencies, will be listed with links, as with special transit providers. 3.3 Rideshare Information and Ridematching Rideshare information will include the following subject areas: • General rideshare information o Carpool information o Vanpool information • Online ridematching • Commuter clubs o Application forms o Commuter club promotions • Rideshare cost savings calculator for commuters • Toll roads • Park N Ride lots • Carpool lane maps and information • Employer programs o Application forms o Rideshare benefits calculator While www.commutesmart.info is generally the model for the presentation of the above information, many of the features will be enhanced including: • Commuters who rideshare will be able to sign up for rideshare clubs and participate in promotions • Employers will be able to submit online queries and applications • The commute cost calculator will be expanded to demonstrate rideshare cost savings Ridematching services will continue to be provided through Ridematch.info, a joint project of the regional rideshare agencies. 12 191 " 3.4 Baseline System The following diagram describes the website services at activation.

The timeline for this work is 90 days. 3.5 Priority Enhancements Priority enhancements should begin with the inclusion of floodgates, a system of warnings for major incidents that can be displayed immediately on the home page. There is a possibility that this function can be added in the near term, perhaps even at start up for the costs already detailed in this study. The next priority should focus on improvements to trip planning, particularly the inclusion of regional transit agencies in Google Transit. SunLine has agreed to be a testbed for geocoding, followed by priority municipal agencies such as Corona Cruiser, Pass Transit, VVTA, and followed by other agencies as prioritized by the partners. Partners should investigate a project using geocoding via Google Earth for feasibility. 3.6 Ongoing Enhancements Completing the geocoding of municipal services is important to offering transit as a regionwide alternative to driving alone. Other ongoing enhancements might include the development of a social networking site for just -in -time ridesharing. Studies show that ridesharers prefer to "meet' their rideshare partners and social networking could provide an alternative to face-to-face meetings. Finally, two enhancements that should be considered are the development of subscription based personal accounts that store routes, traffic map preferences, and transit information, and NextBus or NexTrip services for transit providers. 14 • • 193 3.7 Hosting The traffic data and map and the website will be hosted by the current RCTC vendor where RCTC has its existing managed dedicated hosting. Two separate but parallel configurations will be used, one for the traffic data and map and the second for the website as shown below.

These costs, based on the ordinary maintenance, online newsletter, and online promos required by www.commutesmart.info, are estimated at $1,500 to 2,500 per month. 16 195 4.0 Volumes 4.1 Projected Call Volumes:1-800-COMMUTE Experience Anecdotally, Inland Empire 1-800-COMMUTE calls comprise a small portion of the 2.6 million annual calls, approximately 6,000 per month or 72,000 or 3% per year. Of those, approximately 1,650 are routed to the major transit agencies: RTA, Omnitrans, VVTA and SunLine. Of the balance, some are rideshare calls. Research has shown that the factors below have increased demand for transportation information: • introduction of additional IVR services, • advertising, and • rising gasoline prices. The new availability of real-time traffic information by telephone would likely increase calls over 1-800-COMMUTE for the new 1E511 service. Using the initial launch of www.commutesmart.info as a benchmark, real-time traffic information was the third most popular category of information after the home page and the sponsoring agencies and comprised approximately 19% of site use among the top ten pages, excluding the home page. Today, real-time traffic remains a compelling destination, comprising approximately 8% of website traffic, second only to trip planning at 14%. Advertising has also been shown to drive behavior. The MSRC's regionwide Pick -A -Day campaign led to website volumes of four times the year's average on launch and settled out to double the average for special outreach periods. Finally, Southern California's annual spring and summer increases to gasoline prices also drive behavior, doubling website traffic. All three factors will be present at start up of any IE 511 system during the summer of 2009, though it is unlikely that they will compound each other arithmetically. By the time LA SANE launches its service and its advertising campaign, however, the impact of gas prices will be a known factor and in the current economic climate, may not be such a significant driver of changing behavior as during summer 2008. It is also reasonable to assume that the government will act to curb the impact of high prices on an already reeling economy. Factor Impact Potential Monthly Call Volume at Start Up Baseline call volumes 1-800-COMMUTE 6,000 Availability of real-time traffic +20% 7,200 High gas prices +100% 14,400 Extensive advertising +100% 28,800 17 196 Currently LA SAFE has established a $2 million budget for 511 marketing with, reportedly, $100,000 going to creative development, baseline research, and media planning, and the balance of $1 million of its own money and $900,000 of MSRC monies to media buys focusing on radio, outdoor (including transit posters), and internet. The majority of the buys will focus on the Los Angeles area with 24% allocated to the IE region based on population. It is assumed that $240,000 of MSRC grant monies would come to the IE region with the institution of an 1E511 service. LA SAFE'S outdoor purchases and internet purchases will have only a nominal impact on call volumes for an 1E511 service, serving primarily to create top of mind awareness. Outdoor media buys will be primarily in the Los Angeles area and LA SAFE will capture those calls. Internet advertising purchases will target website traffic to the LA SAFE website and only work to create top of mind awareness of telephone services. Of the total projected budget, LA SAFE has allocated 56% to radio. Assuming a final budget of $1.6 million after subtraction of development and research costs and proportional removal of the inland portion of MSRC monies, this would leave a radio buy of approximately $930,000. The Southern California radio market spills over significantly from region to region, as a result, each dollar spent by LA SAFE on radio will drive EE511 calls as well. Assuming that LA SAFE will launch with its most intense campaign media buy of at least one 12- week cycle and follow up with at least two to three six to eight -week pulses during the first year of service, it is reasonable to assume six months of high call volumes, followed by a significant drop off between pulses. During the first year, only the launch period and late spring and early summer of 2010 will coincide with high gas prices. As a result the following 12-month maximum call volume projection is an upper end prediction for an IF.511 system, assuming no independent advertising and a summer 2009 launch.

The MTC program is quite mature, having been in operation as 511 for seven years, and the San Diego program passed its two-year milestone in February, 2009. While every program is different, the data is useful in measuring how closely assumptions about Inland Empire user traffic conform to real world experience. 18 197 " Several important differences should be noted. Neither one of these systems provides live operator support for assistance with the 511 IVR or traffic information. The only live operator support is at the call termination point, most commonly a transit operator. Marketing and public information levels and approaches will be different as well, which has an impact on how quickly people find out about the system and start using it. The ratio of telephone calls to web site visits is 2.5 to 1 for MTC, and 2.0 to 1 for San Diego. Measure or Indicator MTC San Diego IE 511 Population 6.8 million 3 million 4.2 million Telephone Calls Year 1 1.6 million (133,000/month) Telephone Calls Year 1 and 2 Combined 1.4 million Calls per month 133,000 58,000 81,060 Calls per month/population .0196 .0193 .0193 Website Visits Year 1 644,000 Website Visits.

Averaged over a year, that experience predicts a monthly call volume of approximately 16,000 calls. The nearly identical ratio of calls to over all population between MTC and San Diego is too striking to ignore; however, San Diego probably represents the best and most similar of the two comparisons with its urban and suburban population distribution, the availability and nature of transit services, and the length of commute being the most 19 198 similar to the Inland Empire. Using the San Diego ratio of calls to population, 1E511 could expect 81,000 calls per month. The Inland Empire situation will be unique in one important way as opposed to the San Diego experience; however, this will be one of the few, if not the only, example of two 511 systems which border each other in a heavily urban area. As a result, 81,000 Inland Empire commuters may call 511, but call volumes will depend on where they are when they call. It is likely that long distance commuters, 25% to 30% of the Inland Empire workforce who travel daily to Los Angeles or Orange counties, will choose to call when they encounter unanticipated congestion. For example, the southbound Interstate 15 from the High Desert is congested, but as long as that congestion appears to be normal, commuters are habituated to it and understand its cause. Calling 511 for information is more likely to occur when a commuter does not already understand the reason for congestion. Accordingly, it is just as likely or more likely that these long distance commuters will call 511 after they have made the transition into the LA SAFE system for Los Angeles or Orange County. In light of this factor it is reasonable to assume that as many as 20% of the calls will be picked up by the LA SAFE system and that a call volume of 81,000 calls per month is a high estimate of total volume. Of course, in the advent of an earthquake or catastrophic fire, volumes will be much higher. 4.4 Internet Traffic Using the experience of www.commutesmart.info as a baseline, it is possible to predict the volume of use of an IE511 website. As stated above, total unique visitors to www.commutesmart.info in the launch year numbered 221,018 with 553,130 hits. The average for daily visitors was 563. MSRC- funded radio in January 2005 increased traffic as much as 400% over the average during the launch and as much as 200% to 300% during special campaigns, particularly the Rideshare Week campaign/promotion which occurs in September/October of each year. Presumably, the proliferation of real-time traffic websites in the subsequent years and www.commutesmart.info itself have reduced the demand created by novelty for a 511- type website service. In January 2009, www.commutesmartinfo traffic averages 405 visitors per day with 11,326 for the month. Only 14% of those visits are generated by Inland Empire users, or approximately 1,600 per month. It is unlikely, however, that www.commutesmartinfo provides a wholly accurate picture for several reasons, all of which have an underlying common factor --quality. An 1E511 20 • • 199 " website promises improved service over both www.commutesmart.info and the anticipated LA511 websites in almost all areas: o Google transit for all but the Metro Service area o Metro's Trip Planner for Los Angeles o Mulimodal trip planning that includes Metrolink o Real-time traffic with travel times o Accuracy in real-time traffic ratings o Use of cameras and streaming video for traffic o Fully integrated rideshare information The quality of service that will be delivered by the LA511 website is yet to be determined. At start up, these known factors will undermine its ability to deliver service: o No functioning trip planner o Limited and incomplete traffic information o Lack of travel times for traffic o No camera availability, either live or streaming o Links out to www.commutesmart.info for all rideshare information (which has not been refreshed for three years) and the information is linked out and not embedded within the website Notwithstanding Metro's issues in delivering a functioning Trip Planner for the regional project, Metro staff has conveyed that the Metro Trip Planner has been the subject of a lawsuit for non-compliance with ADA standards. Therefore, it is possible that as a participant in LA511, there may be ongoing issues with legal action should Metro's Trip Planner continue to fail to fully comply with ADA. The website could be continued to be changed and tailored so as to comply with any future settlements/actions. An IE511 website would use Google Transit, which is fully ADA compliant and the IE 511 website would provide a link to Metro's Trip Planners only as a courtesy to commuters with bi- county trips to LA County. In addition, the LA511 website will have the additional ongoing drawbacks for trip planning: o No multimodal trips o Landmark -based rather than address -based trip planning for all service areas other than Los Angeles County Real-time traffic and transit trip planning constitute 23% of the demand for online 511 services. With poor or diminished delivery of these two functions, it appears that users will be drawn to the superior quality and completeness of services offered through an 1E511 site. As a result, it is likely that a marketing -supported level of use at launch will be sustained and grows slowly as long as it is periodically supported by top of mind awareness marketing. 21 200 While the www.commutesmart.info model suggests an initial level of 1,600 per month likely to increase to 6,400 during the launch period with marketing support, that estimate is probably low. It is once more useful to use the San Diego example to predict use volumes. San Diego, a similarly urbanized area with similar commute patterns, experiences a ratio of .0097 website visits per person based on population. Based on that model, website volumes could be much higher than the www.commutesmart.info experience and reach more than 40,000 per month. These volumes, however, are easily accommodated using the server configuration proposed for 1E511. 5.0 Marketing Plan The following marketing plan is based on a budget of $240,000, the estimated amount of MSRC funds allocated to the Inland Empire using a split by population of funds currently available for marketing 511 services and based on the full $1 million grant (this is not a guarantee and of course would be at the pleasure of the MSRC to allocate). LA SAFE is correct in evaluating radio, outdoor, and internet advertising as the primary drivers of 511 use. Upon launch, the Los Angeles based 511 service will undertake a significant radio campaign. Radio, listened to in the car, will tend to drive phone calls rather than internet use as only 26% of all cell phone users in the U.S. use their phone to access the internet, although that percentage is growing. The logical course is to position IE511 to ride the spillover coat tails of Los Angeles - based radio advertising for the telephone service part of the project during the launch and let call switching deliver Inland Empire calls to the 1E511 service. As a result, no radio is recommended for the IE511 service upon launch. Focus group research has also revealed that the true target market for the service is commuters. Transit users tend to be plugged into existing resources for routing and scheduling. As a result launch advertising should instead rely on outdoor that are positioned to directly address commuters as the primarily initial audience. Billboards on all of the major freeways, particularly focusing on congested routes, will be the most successful. These should express messages that encourage users to go online prior to trips to make their choices. The following are initial estimates for outdoor buys for four months from October 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010 with average prices. All boards will be east facing to capture morning commute traffic. Prices will vary with final location and length of rental and could decrease with negotiation of a block buy. For the same reason, no costs for imaging of vinyl have been included. 22 • 201 " Examples of placements may include: San Bernardino County .

Of English language stations, the time formats with the least crossover are classic rock, country, and public radio. Within the top five stations, KOLA (ranked number one) and KFRG (tied for number 3) have the highest ratings in those format categories and KVCR is the Inland Empire's public radio station. Two eight week cycles, one after the holidays and the second in the summer to coincide with rising gas prices are recommended to support the project.

Creative expenses are estimated at $8,000 and the balance of available funds, approximately $5,000, will be applied to internet advertising on the websites of area newspapers. 23 202 6.0 Conclusions The development of an 1E511 project is feasible and achievable within'a four -month period for an October 1, 2009 launch.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2001, the Commission approved the policy to support successful California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Section 190 Grade Separation projects that are included in the Commission approved Alameda Corridor -East (ACE) Grade Crossing Priority List by funding the CPUC's 10% local match requirement, contingent on funding sources being available. Since the policy was adopted, a total of $1.5 million in funding has been awarded for three grade separation projects: Avenue 48/Dillon Road, Avenue 50 and Jurupa Avenue. The city of Riverside has entered into an agreement to receive $5 million in CPUC funding for the Columbia Avenue grade separation project, located on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks and has requested that the Commission provide $500,000 to serve as the local match requirement. The Columbia Avenue grade separation project meets the Commission's eligibility requirements of having been awarded CPUC funds and is included in the approved ACE Grade Crossing Priority List. As a result, staff recommends that $500,000 be allocated to the city of Riverside, from Rail LTF funds, in support of the Columbia Avenue grade separation project.
