This best describes the current financial situation facing the Riverside County Transportation Commission (Commission). Projected sales tax revenues for fiscal year (FY) 2009/10 are expected to be comparable to FY 2008/09 revised projections, but the Commission is moving forward with an ambitious program of project development and funding leading to the eventual construction of billions of dollars in transportation projects over the next decade. That's an important development for Riverside County (County) and the region. All too often, capital projects are delayed during tough times, leading to greater challenges in the future. A more thoughtful approach is to continue to invest in infrastructure during challenging times, often leading to welcome economic opportunities and a better future for everyone. Investing in better infrastructure can create jobs immediately but will also create an economic base that attracts employers and jobs for the long-term. Maior Protects on the Horizon By using a combination of funding from sources that include the voter -approved Measure A sales tax, Proposition 1 B, and other state and federal programs, the Commission will be completing environmental and engineering work for a number of projects, many of which will begin construction within the next two to three years. Current projects include: " State Route (SR) 91 High Occupancy Vehicle (NOV) lanes/Adams Street to SR-60/SR-91/Interstate (1) 215 interchange " 1-215 corridor improvements and connector widening " SR-74/G Street to 1-215 interchange " I-215/SR-60 East Junction HOV lane connectors " SR-91 and 1-15 corridor improvements, including Express Lanes " Perris Valley Line " SR-79 realignment " Mid County Parkway 6 Completed Projects Making a Difference While much of the Commission's attention has been placed on major projects that start construction in a few years, there have been a number of significant transportation facilities that have recently been completed, resulting in a profound and positive improvement to the transportation system in the County. The SR-91/Green River interchange in Corona opened at the end of the 2008 calendar year and has improved access to and from the freeway. Similarly, the spring 2009 opening of the La Sierra interchange on SR-91 will be welcomed by motorists and residents. Train commuters will certainly welcome the opening in summer 2009 of .a new parking structure at the North Main Corona Metrolink station. Two other rail -related projects include a grade separation project at Ave 48 in Coachella and Indio that was completed in May 2009 and the Columbia Avenue grade separation project in Riverside that will be completed during FY 2009/10. Stimulus Dollars to Make a Major Impact With Congress's approval of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Ca!trans and local governments in Riverside County will begin receiving welcome federal stimulus funding for transportation projects during FY 2009/10. While this funding does not come directly to the Commission, the investment in the area's transportation system will free up other dollars controlled by the Commission to build additional projects. Thanks to the ARRA funding, a number of projects will begin construction during FY 2009/10. While it will not serve as the lead construction agency, the Commission was able to attract welcome federal stimulus funding to build five important freeway projects in various locations including: • I-10/Bob Hope/Ramon Road interchange (Coachella Valley) • 1-10/Palm Drive interchange (Coachella Valley) • I-215/Clinton Keith Road interchange (Murrieta) • SR-60Nalley Way interchange (Rubidoux area of Riverside County) • SR-91Nan Buren Boulevard interchange (Riverside) Federal stimulus dollars are also flowing to Riverside County transit operators for needed projects. Altogether the County of Riverside will receive more than $100 million in ARRA funding for highway and public transit projects. Federal funding will take on an even greater focus when Congress considers the reauthorization of the federal transportation bill as part of the current session. The Commission will be working closely with local jurisdictions and neighboring transportation agencies to maximize funding for the region. Current Responsibilities During FY 2009/10, the Commission will invest $263 million in capital projects that include highway, regional arterial, and rail projects. The Commission's overall budget will exceed $669 million and includes additional investments for transit operations, 7 " " " payments to cities for street and road improvements, and a variety of smaller programs such as motorist and commuter assistance programs. The Commission's status has become somewhat unique in Southern California. As many transportation agencies have consolidated functions and grown in size, the Commission remains true to the original intent of the state of California (State) legislation that first created it, operating a staff of 41 budgeted positions. In doing so, the Commission remains effective in its role as a transportation planning and funding agency by maintaining productive relationships with other agencies. For example, Measure A pays for a score of lesser -known projects that are extremely important to local residents. In FY 2009/10, the Commission will return $36 million in funding to local cities and the County for local streets and roads needs. The Commission also receives and programs funding from state and federal sources. This includes the State's Transportation Development Act program dollars that are allocated primarily to the County's major public transit providers. Measure A also pays its share by funding transit fare discounts and programs for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and individuals of limited means and by operating a commuter assistance program that provides traveler information and ridesharing assistance to employers and commuters. Looking Toward the Future The focus of FY 2009/10 and beyond will be the development and delivery of the 2009 Measure A 10-Year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan which includes the widening of four major freeways. Moreover, it also includes the development of toll facilities on SR-91 through Corona and on major sections of the 1-15. The Commission received legislative approval for both of these efforts in 2008 with the approval of AB 1954 (Jeffries) and SB 1316 (Correa). With legislative approval in place, environmental work on the widening of SR-91 through Corona has already begun with additional work included for related improvements on the SR-91/SR-71 connectors interchange. The development of the Perris Valley Line Metrolink extension is yet another priority for now and until the anticipated launch of service in 2012. The project has received a favorable rating from the FTA and $45 million in federal funding in the federal FY 2008/09 appropriation bill. GFOA Distinguished Budget Award The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an award of Distinguished Budget Presentation to the Riverside County Transportation Commission for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008. 8 In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications device. The award is valid for a period of one year only. The Commission believes that this budget document conforms to program requirements, and it will be submitted to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. Acknowledgements The preparation of this budget has been a collaborative effort of the Commission's staff. The budget reflects the Commission's desire to communicate the components of the budget in terms that are easily understandable and supportable for the general public. Staff acknowledges and appreciates the guidance and leadership of the Commission's 32-member Board of Commissioners and the sense of renewal and commitment they have and continue to inspire.

The Commission's mission is to assume a leadership role in improving mobility in the County. The governing body consists of all five members of the County Board of Supervisors, one elected official from each of the County's 26 cities, and one non -voting member appointed by the Governor of California. The Commission is responsible for setting policies, establishing priorities, and coordinating activities among the County's various transit operators and other agencies. The Commission also programs and/or reviews the allocation of federal, state, and local funds for highway, transit, rail, non motorized travel (bicycle and pedestrian), and other transportation activities. The Commission serves as the tax authority and implementation agency for the voter approved Measure A Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Measure A was approved by the County's electorate in 1988 and imposes a one-half of one cent sales tax to fund specific programs that commenced in July 1989 (1989 Measure A). The 1989 Measure A was approved for 20 years and expires on June 30, 2009. On November 5, 2002, the voters of Riverside County approved the renewal of Measure A beginning in July 2009 through 2039 (2009 Measure A). Additionally, the Commission provides motorist aid services designed to expedite traffic flow. These services include the Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE), a program that provides call box service for motorists, and the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), a roving tow truck service to assist motorists with disabled vehicles on the main highways of the County during peak rush hour traffic periods. These services are provided at no charge to motorists and are funded through a $1 surcharge on vehicle registrations. The Commission is also legally responsible for allocating Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds, the major source of funds for transit in the County. The TDA provides two sources of funding: the Local Transportation Fund (LTF), which is derived from a one -quarter of one cent state sales tax, and State Transit Assistance (STA), which is derived from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel. Finally, the Commission has been designated as the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for the County. As the CMA, the Commission coordinates with local jurisdictions in the establishment of congestion mitigation procedures for the County's roadway system. 10 Riverside County Transportation Commission List of Principal Officials Board of Commissioners Name Title Agency Bob Buster 1st Vice Chair (Commission) County of Riverside, District 1 John F.

The budget outlines the projects the Commission plans to undertake during the year and appropriates expenditures to accomplish these tasks. The budget also shows the funding sources and fund balances that will be used for these projects. This document will serve as the Commission's monetary guideline. To provide the reader a better understanding of the projects, staff has included descriptive information regarding each department and major projects. The discussion in each department includes a review of major initiatives and key assumptions. Staff used the goals and objectives approved at the Commission meeting on March 11, 2009, to prepare this budget. In addition to the Commission's long-term goals and strategic plan, the short-term factors listed below were used to guide the development of the budget: Operational • Complete projects and programs included in the 1989 Measure A and determine use for unexpended revenues. • Aggressively pursue completion of the environmental and design processes on key components of the 2009 Measure A 10-Year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan (10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan). • Continue development of the toll program consistent with the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan including obtaining federal toll authority for select projects and executing toll program agreements with key partners. • Work closely with local jurisdictions to implement the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial Program and facilitate the delivery of arterial improvements in westem Riverside County (Westem County). • Continue cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regarding the Small Starts process to support project development activities for the Perris Valley Line Metrolink extension (Perris Valley Line) project. • Improve utilization and increase efficiency of commuter rail lines serving the County. • Support innovative programs that provide transit assistance in hard to serve rural areas or for riders with special transit needs. • Promote program efficiency and harmony between transit operators. • Maintain effective partnerships among commuters, employers, and government to increase the efficiency of our transportation system by encouraging and promoting transportation altematives. • Continue to provide a motorist aid system that ensures safety and convenience to freeway motorists. • Maintain an active involvement in state and federal legislative matters to ensure that the Commission receives proper consideration for transportation projects and funding. • Maintain close communication with Commissioners and educate policy makers on all issues of importance to the Commission. 12 Financial • Maintain administrative program delivery costs below the policy threshold of 4% of Measure A revenues. The current Management Services budget is 2.90% of Measure A revenues. • Maintain administrative salaries and benefits at less than 1 % of Measure A revenues. The current administrative salaries and benefits is .94% of Measure A revenues. • Continue to maintain prudent cash reserves to provide some level of insulation for unplanned expenditures. • Maintain current positive bond ratings with rating agencies. • Move forward on Measure A projects for highways and regional arterials using sales tax revenues, TUMF revenues, and state and federal funding as well as financing alternatives such as commercial paper, sales tax revenue bonds, and other financing strategies such as toll revenue bonds. • Look for opportunities, funding sources, and innovative approaches to address transportation needs that extend beyond Measure A. • Leverage and protect past Measure A investments in rail with state and federal funding for additional rail improvements, including the Perris Valley Line. • Replace the financial software system to better integrate project accounting needs and improve accounting efficiency. Budget Overview Chart 1 — Revenues: Major Categories TUMF Revenue 4% Intergovernmenta 1 21% Other Revenue 0% LTF Sales Tax 31% Investment Income 1% Measure A Sales Tax 43% Total revenues are budgeted at $284,435,700, which is an increase of 9.8% over FY 2008/09 projected revenues and an 8.1% decrease over the FY 2008/09 budget. The projected fund balance at June 30, 2009 available for expenditures (excluding reserves for debt service of $26,393,400 and loans receivable of $14,700,000) is $365,001,600. Total funding sources available for the FY 2009/10 budget, including commercial paper and sales tax revenue bond proceeds of $75,000,000 and $185,000,000, respectively, amount to $909,437,300. 13 " Chart 2  Commission Revenue Trend 5050.000.0W S100.000.000 $250.0 o.0o0 S200.00ROOD 3130.003.000 3100.000.000 330.00osoo 3- MI MI MN MI -; ,- .:MII - FY 07AS FYO 000 FISCAL YEARS FY WHO Sthrvesthwentincorae . Ova Revenue D TVMF Revenue �IMerptrvernnetlal �% LTF SSI0S Tea El Measure Sales Tax The local economy has been significantly impacted by the housing, subprime mortgage, and credit crisis. Population growth has slowed down, there have been significant job losses, and consumers have decreased spending. These factors have resulted in declines in Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues and TUMF fees. The outlook for 2010 is guarded with some expectations for an economic recovery beginning in late 2010 or in 2011. The State Board of Equalization recently provided cities and other agencies its projections for statewide taxable sales over the next fiscal year to decrease 4.8%. After taking these economic factors and the state of the local economy into consideration, staff has projected that Measure A sales tax revenues will be unchanged from the FY 2008/09 revised projection of $121,500,000. On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the LTF for public transportation needs, local streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of LTF funding received by the County and available for allocation is distributed to all public transit operators in the County, and the Commission receives allocations for administration, planning, and programming in addition to funding for rail operations included in the commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The LTF sales tax revenue received from the State is budgeted at $59,000,000, unchanged from the FY 2008/09 revised projection. Additional FY 2009/10 budgeted LTF revenues for allocations to the Commission's general fund include $750,000 for administration; $1,770,000 for planning and programming; $6,750,000 for grade separation jump-start funding award allocations to the cities of Corona and Riverside and the County; and $19,155,300 for rail operations and station maintenance. An additional LTF revenue allocation of $216,600 is to fund rail capital rehabilitation projects. Intergovernmental revenues include reimbursement revenues from federal sources of $24,654,000, state sources of $33,240,800, local agencies of $1,938,800, and others of $60,000 for highway and rail capital, rail operations and station maintenance, commuter assistance, and motorist assistance programs as well as planning and programming activities. Reimbursement revenues vary from year to year depending on project activities and funding levels. STA funds generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel were allocated in prior years by formula by the State Controller to the Commission for allocations to the County's public transit operators. The STA transit allocation for FY 2009/10 is $0 due to a suspension in the state's FY 2009/10 budget. 14 As a result of an amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Western Riverside Council of Govemments (WRCOG), the Commission will receive 48.7% of TUMF revenues (as updated by the most recent Nexus study). TUMF represents fees assessed on new residential and commercial development in Western County. FY 2009/10 TUMF fees are expected to remain flat at $5,000,000 based on a weakened housing market in the Inland Empire, and these revenues also include TUMF zone reimbursements of $6,475,000 for the State Route (SR) 74/G Street to Interstate (I) 215 project. Other revenue is projected to decrease 73.7% from the prior year's budget primarily because of the conclusion of approximately $1,430,000 in annual debt service payments from Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) related to bonds issued for 1989 Measure A Coachella Valley regional arterial projects. Investment income is anticipated to decrease 57.2% in FY 2009/10 as a result of declining interest rates and declining cash balances. Staff continues to actively manage its resources and make appropriate investments to maximize the retum to the Commission without sacrificing security and affecting short-term cash requirements.

Program expenditures totaling $465,421,400 represent 69.5% of total budgeted expenditures in FY 2009/10. Program costs have decreased by 21.2% from $590,530,800 in FY 2008/09 primarily because of the completion of construction for some highway and rail projects and of Western County land mitigation acquisitions under the Multi -Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) for the next ten years. The MSHCP in Westem County is being implemented by the Western Riverside Regional Conservation Authority (RCA). • 15 " " " Planning and Programming Department budgeted expenditures of $3,628,200 reflect a 53.7% decrease from the FY 2008/09 budget of $7,836,700 as a result of the completion of geotechnical borings in the Cleveland National Forest related to feasibility analysis of a future Irvine -Corona Expressway. The $15,157,000 increase in Rail Department budgeted expenditures of $24,279,100 is primarily due to a $1,300,400 increase in commuter rail operating subsidies and a $13,300,000 capital subsidy for rail cars. Significant highway projects include SR-74/G Street to 1-215 interchange, SR-91 corridor improvements, SR-91 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes/Adams Street to SR-60/SR-91/1- 215 interchange, SR-91Nan Buren Boulevard and SR-91/La Sierra Avenue interchanges, I- 15 corridor improvements, 1-215 corridor projects, and Mid County Parkway. Approved Western County regional arterial projects will be in various phases of engineering, construction, and right of way. The Perris Valley Line and other related projects and the Riverside Downtown layover facility represent significant rail capital projects in FY 2009/10. In addition to providing funding for the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan projects, the commercial paper program will fund Coachella Valley projects including land acquisition for the MSHCP as well as highway and regional arterial projects. Highway and regional arterial projects in the Coachella Valley will be funded by a single program under the 2009 Measure A, which expenditures for FY 2009/10 are classified as regional arterials, compared to the 1989 Measure A that had two separate funding programs. Local streets and roads expenditures of $35,908,900 decreased $10,653,400 from the FY 2008/09 expenditures of $46,562,300 primarily as a result of a decrease in Western County funding under the 2009 Measure A program as well as a decrease in overall Measure A sales tax revenues. Debt Service of $198,255,000 has increased significantly as a result of the refinancing of the 2008 bonds in connection with the commencement of $185,000,000 in forward starting interest rate swaps as well as a portion of the commercial paper program outstanding balance. Management Services expenditures of $5,868,800 have decreased 8.1% compared to the FY 2008/09 budget due to reductions in administration support and capital outlay costs.

Promote Mobility The Commission, in cooperation with local, state, and federal agencies, will strive to create a transportation system that promotes efficient mobility both within the County and region. While Riverside County grapples with the challenges of a declining real estate market and an uncertain economy, the need for better mobility and transportation remains a top public policy priority that the Commission is poised to address. The 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan, approved in December2006, will become more prominent this year as environmental and design work moves into high gear on SR-91, 1-15 and 1-215. The Commission will also work with partners including the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA or Metrolink), CVAG, and WRCOG to deliver transit services, improve highways and arterials in the Coachella Valley, and ensure investment of TUMF dollars in Western County. In moving forward with this aggressive program of projects and services, the Commission will face the challenge of lower Measure A receipts and declining state transportation revenues along with uncertainty regarding the availability of federal dollars. The following are emphasis areas for the Commission in FY 2009/10: • Complete projects and programs included in the 1989 Measure A and determine use for unexpended revenues, if any. • Continue to aggressively pursue completion of the environmental and design processes on key components of the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan which includes the widening of SR-91, 1-15, and 1-215. • Continue to develop the toll program consistent with the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan including obtaining federal toll authority for select projects and executing toll program agreements with key regional and state partners including Caltrans, OCTA, California Highway Patrol (CHP), Transportation Corridors Agencies, and others. • Seek to obtain state legislative authority to utilize the design -build method of project delivery to advance project delivery schedules. • Continue to work with state and federal agencies to fund and construct projects programmed in the STIP, Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), Proposition 1B bond programs, and Measure A program as well as other high priority regional projects. • Maximize the effective application and use of Western County TUMF funds to deliver eligible Commission priority projects. • Work closely with local jurisdictions to implement the TUMF Regional Arterial Program and facilitate the delivery of arterial improvements in Western County. 31 " " Ensure Improved System Efficiencies The Commission will select projects and allocate funds in a manner that will improve safety and reduce congested traffic corridors. " Advocate the development and use of advanced technologies for transportation applications that are affordable and practical. " Work with public and private interests to apply real-time technology to disseminate commuter information that will support the use of alternate modes and improve efficiency of the regional transportation system. " Assure the effectiveness of transit planning through coordination with the Transit Operators Working Group, Citizens' Advisory Committee, and annual SRTP process with a goal toward promoting program efficiency and effectiveness. " Provide innovative commuter rideshare programs to reduce single occupant vehicle trips and coordinate with other regional rideshare service providers to address intercounty commute trips. " Develop an Inland Empire region 511 system, in partnership with SANBAG, that will make real-time traffic information available to commuters for the purpose of trip planning and congestion avoidance. " Leverage existing online trip planning services such as Google Transit by integrating and maintaining regional transit schedules and routes. " Work with local jurisdictions, Caltrans and the CHP to continue providing a motorist aid system which includes a call box program and an FSP program including temporary services in freeway construction zones. " Continue development, in partnership with Caltrans and SANBAG, of the Inland Empire Transportation Management Center. " Leverage our resources to incorporate park and ride services at Metrolink stations that have available capacity. Foster Environmental Stewardship The Commission will achieve its mobility goals while promoting environmental stewardship and protecting the area's natural resources and quality of life. " Continue working with the RCA to implement the MSHCP. " Work with the Southem California Association of Governments (SCAG), SCAQMD, sub -regional agencies, and local jurisdictions to implement an RTP that meets regional air quality goals and conformity guidelines. " Support a variety of outreach channels and educational programs that promote the benefits of ridesharing, transit, rail, and availability of commuter resources. " Facilitate private/public use of clean fuels technology. " Consider and address new state and federal mandates regarding greenhouse gas emissions including participation in various forums to develop implementation guidelines. " Continue to develop sustainable and green commuter rail stations and provide 33 upgrades and rehabilitation projects to reduce the environmental impact of the existing stations. • Coordinate with local and regional agencies regarding compliance with SB 375 and AB 32. Encourage Economic Development Transportation decisions will consider the economic benefits derived from any improvement, and, where feasible and practical, will pursue transportation alternatives that enhance or complement economic development. • Support local agencies in the design and construction of interchanges that are in proximity to regional economic centers and developments. • Support local projects, consistent with countywide transportation goals, which enhance business development, local employment, and area tourism. Support Transportation Choices through Intermodalism and Accessibility County residents will be served, where economically feasible, through the development of transportation alternatives and travel options that consider the needs of a wide range of citizens. • Work with transit providers and local social service agencies to provide specialized transit service to meet a broad spectrum of socio-economic transit needs. • Leverage commuter assistance and freeway service patrol outreach channels in order to increase the awareness of and foster the use of alternative commuting modes. • Implement the Commission's commuter rail SRTP and SCRRA's long-range strategic plan for expansion of the commuter rail system benefiting Riverside County constituents with an emphasis on the Perris Valley Line, an extension from Riverside to Perris via Moreno Valley. • Pursue the goals and objectives as outlined in the Coordinated Public Transit - Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan) for Riverside County related to a unified, comprehensive but flexible strategy for transportation service delivery to address transportation gaps and/or barriers focusing on unmet transportation needs of elderly individuals, persons with disabilities, and individuals of limited income. • Enhance security, surveillance, and emergency response capabilities of County transit facilities and infrastructure through proactive planning, interagency coordination, and investment. Prioritize Public and Agency Communications The Commission will provide timely, informative, and accurate information to encourage informed public and agency participation in the Commission's decision -making processes. 34 " " Promote a close working relationship with news and civic entities to increase interest in and understanding of transportation and related issues. " Enhance the provision of public information through various forms of communication (e.g., website, television, Speakers Bureau, print media, radio, etc). " Maintain an ongoing effort of informing Riverside County's Congressional and State Legislative delegations regarding County transportation issues. " Develop an effective long-range legislative strategy regarding the upcoming reauthorization of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) to ensure that the federal government participates as a full partner in funding Riverside County projects that are of national and regional significance. " Advocate for sufficient funding for Riverside County from various federal and state revenue sources including, but not limited to, the Federal Stimulus Act, STIP, and State and Local Partnership Program. " Seek legislative flexibility for innovative financing and delivery methods. " Maintain ongoing efforts to educate commuters, businesses, and the public regarding the Commission's toll planning efforts and specific project development efforts currently underway. 35 " Financial and Administration Policies Budget Policies " The Commission shall budget no more than one percent (1 %) of Measure A sales tax revenue for administrative salaries and benefits. " Administrative program delivery costs will be budgeted at whatever is reasonable and necessary, but not to exceed four percent (4%) of Measure A sales tax revenues (inclusive of the one -percent salary limitation). " The Commission shall budget 100% of the annual required contribution related to the postretirement health care benefits. " Amounts will be budgeted by fiscal year for multi -year projects based on best available estimates with the understanding that, to the extent actuals vary from those estimates and the project is ongoing, adjustments will be made on an ongoing basis. " The fiscal capital budget should be consistent with the strategic plan and deviations appropriately noted, explained, and justified. " A balanced budget shall be adopted annually with operating and capital expenditures and other financing uses funded by identified revenues and other financing sources as well as available fund balances. Revenue Policies " Sales tax revenue projections will be revised semi-annually to ensure use of current and relevant data. Staff may adjust annual amounts to reflect the most current economic trends. " A strategic application of local funding sources will be used to maximize federal and state funding of projects. " Fiduciary responsibility regarding Western County TUMF revenues shall be exercised, and revenues will be allocated pursuant to Commission direction and the approved 2009 Measure A. Debt Management Policies " The Commission will maintain 2.0x debt ratio coverage on all senior debt. " Debt issuance will be for major capital projects including engineering, right of way, and construction. Operating requirements, if any, must be from current ongoing revenues. " Costs of issuance including the standard underwriter's discount will not exceed two percent (2%). " The Commission may enter into interest rate swaps to better manage assets and liabilities and take advantage of market conditions to lower overall costs and reduce interest rate risk. " While it is the intent of the Commission to establish a cash debt reserve for long term bond issuance, surety bonds can be obtained when beneficial to the 36 Commission. • The commercial paper program and other short-term financing vehicles will provide advance funding for projects included in the expenditure plan of the approved 2009 Measure A. • The Commission will consider actions to lessen the restriction of the $500 million 2009 Measure A bonding cap, which could include the possibility of a future ballot measure to increase the cap. Auditing, Accounting, and Financial Reporting Policies • The Commission will replace its financial software system in order to better integrate project accounting needs and improve accounting efficiency. • The Commission will issue a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in accordance with the GASB Statement 34 financial reporting model. • An audit is to be conducted annually on the Commission's accounting books and records. As long as the Commission has outstanding bonds, an independent accounting firm must conduct the audit. • The Commission is responsible for ensuring that audits of Measure A and TDA funding recipients are completed and reviewed for compliance and other matters in a timely manner. • An internal audit program will be maintained to identify improvements in controls and procedures as well as best practices. Capital Planning and Programming Policy • Established priorities will be reviewed annually with the Commission. Reserve Policies • The Commission will maintain program reserves in accordance with Measure A and TDA policies and guidelines. • The Commission will maintain a cash reserve at least equal to five percent (5%) of annual revenues (exclusive of reimbursements and matching funds). • The Commission will establish and maintain a transit operator's reserve of ten percent (10%) for the Coachella Valley and Palo Verde Valley. Additionally, a ten percent (10%) reserve will be established and maintained for each of the Western County transit operators (public bus and commuter rail). Cash Management/Investment Policies • Where possible, the Commission will encourage receipt of funds by wire transfer to its accounts. • Balances in the bank operating account will be maintained at the amount necessary to meet monthly expenditures. • Idle funds will be invested per the Commission's established investment policy • 37 " emphasizing in order of priority: 1) safety, 2) liquidity, and 3) yield. " Cash disbursements to local jurisdictions and vendors/consultants will be completed in an expeditious and timely manner. Human Resources Management Policies " Commission staffing levels will be consistent with the intent of its enabling legislation, which envisioned a small, but effective staff. " Contract staff and consultants will be used to augment staff efforts as much as possible to support programs or work loads, which do not appear to be of a permanent nature. Information Technology Policies " Significant effort will be made to maintain efficient and cost-effective technology infrastructure by continuously upgrading network equipment and software to ensure quality performance, productivity, and connectivity among staff, other agencies, and the public. Networksecurity will continue to be a top priority to maintain the integrity of the Commission's network and information.

The budget communicates to all stakeholders (i.e., elected officials, regional agencies, and citizens) how the investment they made will be put to use by providing detailed information on the specifics of resource allocation and expenditures. Progress is monitored on a monthly basis, and revisions and updates are made as deemed necessary to reflect changing dynamics and accommodating unplanned requests. This results in a budget document that is useful and meaningful as a benchmark against which to evaluate government accomplishments and/or challenges and to assess compliance with fiscal accountability.

Annually a workshop is held for the policy makers to evaluate and determine where the Commission plans to be and what it desires to accomplish over the next five to ten years. Annual reviews allow for timely responsiveness to any significant political, legislative, or economic developments that may occur locally, statewide, or nationally. Staff then adjusts its course based on the long-term strategic direction of the policy makers. Staff convenes in early January to both assess actual results, compared to the current year budget, and map changes in strategy for the ensuing fiscal year by reviewing and, if necessary, redefining departmental mission statements and setting goals. Those goals, upon review by the Board, become the Commission's short-term strategic direction.

In actuality, resource identification occurs throughout the year, but it is finalized in the upcoming fiscal year budget. Amounts to be borrowed are determined as parts of the long-term strategic planning process, but such amounts are adjusted in the annual budget to reflect more current information. Needs Assessment Phase Staff and consultants evaluate what projects and studies need to be accomplished. Project priority and sequencing set in the long-term strategic plan are the top candidates for budget submission. However, priorities may have changed due to economic necessities or political realities, resulting in projects being rescheduled by acceleration or postponement. New projects may be added or existing priorities deleted based on Commission direction. Development and Review Phase Using all the data and information gathered from the previously mentioned stages, department heads submit their desired budgets to the Finance Department. The information, along with staff and overhead allocations, is compiled into a preliminary or draft budget. After review by the Executive Director and inclusion of the desired changes, the draft budget is presented to the Board for input. Adoption and Implementation Phase The proposed budget is submitted to the Commission at its May meeting. A hearing is scheduled to allow for public comment on the proposed budget. The Commission may choose, after public hearing, to adopt the budget or to request additional information and/or changes to the budget. The budget must be adopted no later than June 15 of each year. Upon adoption by the Commission, the budget is entered into the accounting system effective July 1 for the next fiscal year. 42 Budget Roles and Responsibilities Involvement in the budget permeates all staffing levels at the Commission from clerical support staff to policy makers. Each program manager develops a detailed line item operating and capital budget. Those budgets by program are submitted to the department head for review and approval. The department heads submit their budgets to the Chief Financial Officer by mid -March. The Finance Department compiles the department budgets. Both the capital and operating budgets are combined into the draft budget for the entire Commission. The Executive Director reviews the entire budget for overall consistency with both the short- and long-term strategic direction of the Commission, appropriateness of funding sources for the identified projects and studies, and reasonableness of the operating budget expenditures, which should also correspond to the capital budget. Expenditure activities of the funds are controlled at the budgetary unit, which is the financial responsibility level (General, Measure A, Motorist Assistance, LTF, STA, TUMF, Capital Projects, and Debt Service Funds) for each function (i.e., administration, programs, intergovernmental distributions, debt service, capital outlay, and other financing uses). These functions provide the legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount). Budget -to -actual reports are distributed to program managers and directors on a monthly basis for informational purposes and quarterly for identification and evaluation of any significant budget variations. Management has the discretion to transfer budgeted amounts within the financial responsibility unit according to function or may provide support for supplemental budget appropriations requests. Supplemental requests require the authorization of the Commission. The Commission may take action at any monthly meeting to amend the budget. Those amendments are incorporated into the budget, as they occur, and are reflected in the CAFR in the final budget amounts reported in the budgetary schedules. The Finance Department compiles the data and submits a budget appropriations adjustment at mid -year to the Commission for approval.

The basis of accounting is the same as the basis of budgeting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available to meet current year obligations. Revenues are considered to be available when they are guaranteed as to receipt, based on expenditure of funds (i.e., govemment matching funds), or certain to be received within 180 days of the end of the fiscal year. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred; however, debt service expenditures are recorded when the payment is due. Chart 8 - Total Fund Expenditures and Transfers Out (Uses) Debt Service Fund 15% Fund Structure General Fund 5% Special Revenue Funds 46% There are 38 funds that account for the Commission's budgeted resources and are categorized into four govemmental fund types: General fund, special revenue funds, capital projects funds, and Debt Service fund. The number of funds has increased from the 24 budgeted funds included in the FY 2008/09 budget primarily as a result of the commencement of the 2009 Measure A. There are five funds reported in the General fund and 29 in the special revenue funds. Three capital projects funds are used to account for capital project expenditures financed with short- or long-term debt proceeds. In addition, the Commission has one Debt Service fund to account for debt related activity. 47 Chart 9-Budgeted Funds Structure Fivaaida Coadynougmativar-- •-:—Bedptd Audl'tmefn ]dean.

I Dolt Seavix Fasse In addition to the 38 budgeted governmental funds, the Commission has one fiduciary fund comprised of an agency fund. The Commission does not adopt a budget for this fund. General Fund Overview The General fund of the Commission is used to account for all activities not legally required or designated by Board action to be accounted for separately. For many public agencies, the General fund is the largest fund; however, it is less significant for the Commision. The Commission's largest revenue source is Measure A, a locally levied sales tax that legally must be separately accounted for in special revenue funds. The General fund receives a small portion of the Measure A sales tax revenue for administration and operation of the Commission. The Commission's commuter rail operations, short-range transit planning, fund programming, right of way management, regional issues, and administration are accounted for in the General fund. The revenue sources for the General fund are Measure A sales tax for administration; LTF sales tax for administration and planning, programming, and monitoring (PPM) activities; LTF Article 4 funds for commuter rail transit operations and capital; user fees • 48 from licenses; state highway account (SB 45) funding for project planning; various other state and federal reimbursements not accounted for in other funds; and investment income.

The administrative allocation is adjusted at mid -year based on required expenditures, but in no event will exceed four percent (4%) of total Measure A revenues (including administrative salaries and benefits). LTF sales tax revenues fund administration, planning staff and studies, and transit operations and capital for rail services. The changes compared to the prior year budget are for the following reasons: • Planning money is set by law at three percent (3%) of estimated LTF sales tax revenues. The FY 2008/09 revised budget includes the effect of the mid- year projection adjustment. This adjustment usually includes the 49 unapportioned carryover amount, which is not determined until after the fiscal year end. • Transit funding for commuter rail and bus transit operators is also tiedto sales tax revenues; however, allocations are based on need to the extent that revenues and reserved fund balance are available. In FY 2009/10, LTF allocations from the Local Transportation Fund, a special revenue fund, to the General fund increased $10,109,300 primarily to fund higher commuter rail operating and capital contribution expenditures to SCRRA. • Allocations aggregating $6,750,000 for local jurisdictions' grade separation projects are included in the FY 2009/10 General fund budget. STIP revenues fund PPM activities, which may vary annually. Other state revenues include a $4,500,000 allocation from the State Transit Assistance special revenue fund to fund a portion of the increased capital contribution expenditures to SCRRA. Federal revenues are primarily reimbursements for geotechnical studies related to the proposed Irvine -Corona Expressway. Other reimbursements are from other local agencies related to the geotechnical studies and the construction of the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility, a portion of the security costs at the commuter rail stations, and a grant from WRCOG related to the interregional partnership study. • 50 Table 25 General Fund Uses FY 2008 - 2010 FY 07/08 FY 08/09 FY 08/09 FY 09/10 %.

Professional and support expenditures are comparable to the prior year's budget. Project and operations expenditures increased 67.0% as a result of increased commuter rail station operating and maintenance expenditures, a $14,600,400 increase in rail operating and capital contributions to SCRRA, a $1,750,000 increase in allocations for local jurisdictions' grade separation projects, and a $3,500,000 decrease in special studies related to the geotechnical studies. 51 Other expenditures have decreased 33.1 % because of a decrease in LTF allocations for planning activities based on the decline in LTF sales tax revenues and a reduction in capital outlay related to computer improvements substantially completed in FY 2008/09. The transfer out of $14,300 is from right of way management lease revenues to the 1989 Measure A Western County Highways special revenue fund related to the I- 2151SR-60 East Junction HOV lanes connector project. Special Revenue Funds Overview The Commission's special revenue funds are legally restricted as to use. Measure A sales tax, LTF sales tax, Westem County TUMF, state budgetary allocations, and vehicle registration fees are all accounted for in the 29 special revenue funds. State and federal reimbursements and project matching funds are used to supplement the Measure A sales tax revenues. The special revenue funds' resources are expended on County highway, rail, regional arterial, and new corridors engineering, right of way acquisition, and construction; local streets and roads maintenance, repair, and construction; economic development incentives; bond financing; bicycle and pedestrian facilities; education and incentive programs to encourage use of alternate modes of transportation; special social service transportation programs; public transit operations and capital needs; and motorist towing and freeway call box assistance.

TUMF revenue is projected to remain unchanged due to the weakened housing market. No local revenue is expected due to the completion of the I- 15/Cajalco Road interchange preliminary engineering, which costs were reimbursed by the city of Corona. Federal revenues are related to federal reimbursements on the SR- 79 realignment project. The transfer in for FY 2009/10 relates to an intrafund borrowing of TUMF CETAP funds to provide funding for regional arterial expenditures.

The Commission is a self-help county, and, as such on major highway projects, the Commission supplements the State's spending. Upon completion of the projects, Caltrans takes over the maintenance and operations of the projects. All revenues from the Measure A sales tax have been pledged as security for the Commission's senior sales tax revenue bonds and commercial paper notes. Debt service on the bonds is recorded in the Debt Service fund, and most of the resources 61 for the cash payments are provided through transfers out by the Measure A special revenue funds for the 2009 Measure A bonds. Debt service, consisting of a $50,000,000 principal payment as well as interest, for the commercial paper notes is recorded in a capital projects fund, as the notes will be paid from 2009 Measure A sales tax revenues or refinanced with proceeds from sales tax revenue bonds.

General project expenditures include $8,425,000 for the design -build phase of the SR-91 corridor improvements related to project management and interagency support. The Western County highway expenditures include progress toward completion of 1989 Measure A projects such as the SR-91 HOV lanes/Adams Street to SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange, SR-91Nan Buren interchange, and SR-74/G Street to 1-215 interchange. Additionally, advance project development activities related to the 10-Year Westem County Highway Delivery Plan will continue for the SR-91, 1-15, and 1-215 corridor improvements. Rail expenditures include the Perris Valley Line and related rail improvements and the Riverside layover facility. The decrease in commuter assistance is due to the completion of the I-15/1-215 traffic flow detection project. The increase in public and specialized transit expenditures is attributable to $1,918,300 for Western County intercity bus service and Consolidated Transportation Service Agency (CTSA) administration expenditures funded by the 2009 Measure A. The 1989 Measure A did not include funding for these public transit programs. Local streets and roads expenditures decreased because of the decline in Measure A sales tax revenues as well as the decrease in Western County funding 62 allocated for the local streets and roads program. Transfers out in the prior year's budget were primarily related to commercial paper funding for the advance development of the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan projects prior to the commencement of the 2009 Measure A. FY 2009/10 transfers out consist of highway funding for related property management activities, a contribution from commuter assistance to rail capital for a park and ride facility at the La Sierra station parking ° expansion project, and start-up funding for 2009 Measure A commuter assistance program operations from available 1989 Measure A commuter assistance funds.

Regional arterial projects are managed by CVAG. In accordance with the 2009 Measure A, highway and regional arterial funding is combined and related expenditures are reported as regional arterials. Specialized transit funds are distributed to SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) for transit operations, and such funding allocated for Coachella Valley specialized transit increased under the 2009 Measure A. Transfers out are related to debt service. In FY 2008/09 debt service requirements related to 1989 Measure A debt issued for Coachella Valley highway projects was completed. Debt service requirements for 2009 Measure A debt issued for the city of Indio local streets and roads projects under an advance funding agreement are substantially lower. 63 Palo Verde Valley Measure A Operating Fund Table 38 - Palo Verde Valley Measure A Operating Fund Uses FY 2009 - 2010 FY 08/09 FY 09/10 Dollar % Change Revised Budget Budget Variance Estimated Local Streets and Roads $ 860,000 $ 721,900 $ (138,100) -16.1% Transfers Out 177,100 177,100 N/A TOTAL Palo Verde Valley Measure A $ 860.000 $ 899.000 $ 39.000 105.1 In the Palo Verde Valley, expenditures are for local streets and roads; however, transfers out relate to debt service for the city of Blythe local streets and roads projects under an advance funding agreement. Non -Measure A Special Revenue Funds The non -Measure A special revenue funds account for LTF disbursements, TUMF Westem County project costs, transit disbursements from STA, and motorist assistance expenditures including towing service as well as freeway call boxes and Inland Empire 511 system operations. These activities are budgeted in the LTF, TUMF, STA, FSP, and SAFE funds, respectively.

While the program also includes services to construction zones to help mitigate congestion, such services have decreased as a result of the SR- 60/SR-91/1-215 interchange construction completion in FY 2008/09. Towing costs increased primarily because of two additional trucks to service two beats. Personnel, professional and support costs are lower due a reduction in administrative overhead allocations. 65 Table 43 — Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies Fund Uses FY 2009 — 2010 FY 08109 FY 09/10 Dollar % Change Revised Budget Budget Variance Estimated Personnel, Professional and Support $ 244,200 $ 427,800 $ 183,600 75.2% Access Charges 69,800 69,800 0.0% Preventive Maintenance 5,400 - (5,400)-100.0% Corrective Maintenance 5,400 (5,400)-100.0% Knockdowns 8,000 - (8,000)-100.0% Operating Casts 39,000 35,400 (3,600) 0.0% Vandalism 400 - (400)-100.0% Equipment Maintenance - Call Boxes 772,500 310,000 (462,500) -59.9% Special Studies - - - WA Transfers Out - 440,700 440,700 N/A CapitalOutFay 20,100 - (20,100)-100.0% TOTAL SAFE $ 1.164.800 $ 1.283.700 $ 118.900 10.2% The SAFE fund accounts for the installation and maintenance of a freeway call box system within the County as well as the operations of the Inland Empire 511 system. Equipment maintenance costs reflect the completion of technology upgrades, other call box site -related improvements, and a reduction in call boxes due to the increased use of cellular phones for emergencies. Professional costs increased as a result of the Inland Empire 511 system operations that will commence in FY 2009/10. The transfers out to the FSP special revenue fund reflect a matching contribution from SAFE funding to the State's contribution for towing services. Capital Projects Funds Overview The capital projects funds account for all debt proceeds from commercial paper notes and senior sales tax revenue bonds. In March 2005 a commercial paper program was established to advance project development and land and right of way acquisition related to the 2009 Measure A projects. During FY 2009/10, the Commission anticipates the issuance of $75,000,000 in additional commercial paper notes. In June 2008, the Commission issued $126,395,000 in sales tax revenue bonds (2008 Bonds) to refinance the outstanding commercial paper in order to maximize the availability of commercial paper funding for the advancement of 2009 Measure A projects. The Commission anticipates the issuance of approximately $185,000,000 in variable rate sales tax revenue bonds in October 2009 (2009 Bonds) in connection with the commencement of two interest rate swaps. This issuance will refinance the 2008 Bonds and approximately $50,000,000 in commercial paper notes. 66 Chart 18 — Capital Projects Funds Sources Transfers In 16% Other 0% Investment Income 0% Debt Proceeds 84°% Table 44 - Capital Projects Funds Sources FY 2008 — 2010 FY 07/08 FY 08/09 FY 08/09 FY 09/10 % Charge % Change Actual Revised Budget Projected Budget Actual Revised Federal - Other $ 824,700 $ _ $ _ $ --100.0% WA Investment Income 818,000 4,400 557,600 10,500 -98.7% 138.6% Debt Proceeds 160,249,000 130,000,000 110,000,000 260,000,000 62.2% 100.0% Transfer In 110,005,000 50,000,000, 54.5% WA TOTAL CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS $ 271.096.700 9 130.004.40Q $ 110.557 60Q $ 310.010.500 14 0% 135 5% Commercial paper proceeds will continue to be used for Coachella Valley regional arterial projects subject to an advance funding agreement and debt service interest on outstanding commercial paper notes- Proceeds from the 2009 Bonds will be used for debt service purposes to retire $50,000,000 in commercial paper notes and to pay the costs of issuance related to the 2009 Bonds.

The Commission's largest single expenditure is debt service. The bond agreements require the trustee to hold all bond proceeds and a portion of the sales tax revenues, that will commence on July 1, 2009, and to segregate all funds into separate amounts- These monies are included in the restricted investments held by trustee in the capital projects funds and the Debt Service fund. Under the agreements, the Commission may use sales tax revenues for any lawful purpose related to the Riverside County TIP after the trustee has satisfied debt service requirements. Under the 2009 Measure A program, the Commission has the authority to issue bonds subject to a debt limitation of $500,000,000. In order to advance project development activities, the Commission established a $185,000,000 commercial paper program in 2005. The 2008 Bonds refinanced the outstanding commercial paper notes of $110,005,000 with sales tax revenue bonds for a par amount of $126,395,000 in order to restore the commercial paper program to its maximum capacity for subsequent years' expenditures. The 2009 Bonds will refinance the 2008 Bonds and $50,000,000 of outstanding commercial paper notes.

On November 5, 2002, the voters of Riverside County approved the renewal of Measure A through 2039. The 2009 Measure A is expected to raise more than $5.7 billion (in real dollars) during its lifespan. The amount raised by the Measure A levy has increased as the County and its economic base have grown during the past two decades, peaking in FY 2005/06 at $157 million. As a result of the recent economic slowdown, Measure A revenues have decreased and are expected to approximate $121.5 million in FY 2008/09. Measure A requires that all sales taxes collected may only be used for transportation purposes including administration and the construction, capital acquisition, maintenance, and operation of streets, roads, highways, including state highways and public transit systems and for related purposes. These purposes include expenditures for planning, environmental reviews, engineering and design costs, and related right of 72 way acquisition. The Commission historically has obtained and updated Measure A revenue projections through a consultant for budget and strategic project planning purposes. The UCLA Anderson Forecast completed the last update in May 2006; however, this forecast has been updated frequently because of the weakened Inland Empire economy that began in 2007. Measure A revenue projections for the next fire fiscal years are presented in Chart 20 below. Chart 20 — Forecasted Measure A Sales Tax Revenues 2010 — 2014 $175,000,000 $150,000,000 $125,000,000 $100,000,000 $75,000,000 $50,000,000 $25,000,000 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 The following additional assumptions were used in the development of the Commission's revenue forecast for FY 2009/10: • The Inland Empire economy is not expected to improve significantly in FY 2009/10; however, a slow recovery is expected to begin in FY 2010/11. • The State does not change mix of items subject to the sales tax from what has been included historically. • The relative sales and property tax rates of Riverside and surrounding counties do not change from historical levels. • Internet sales will have minimal impact on revenue. The Measure A sales tax revenue projections will be utilized in the 10-Year Westem County Highway Delivery Plan financing strategy and an analysis of a potential increase to be sought in the $500 million 2009 Measure A bonding cap. 73 " " " Geographic Allocation - Riverside County is comprised of three geographic areas: Westem County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley. The percentage of Measure A revenues allocated to each of these areas based on retum to source is approximately 75% for Westem County, 24% for Coachella Valley, and 1 % for Palo Verde Valley. These percentages will experience some variations from year to year based on changes in levels of taxable sales. Chart 21  Geographic Allocation of Measure A Revenues Palo Verde Valley 1% Coachella Valley 24% Westem County 75% Program Allocation - The 2009 Measure A TIP defines the manner in which the sales tax revenues are to be spent, as presented in the following table.

The intent of the legislation was to provide a dependable revenue stream for public transportation operations. Based upon an annual projection of LTF sales taxes, the vast majority of LTF revenue in the County is allocated to the eight public transit operators, including the Commission for its share of Metrolink operations costs. Much like Measure A revenue, LTF had increased with the growth of the County and its economy until the recent econornic slowdown. Revenues received from LTF are allocated for regional and local transportation planning, program administration, bicycle and pedestrian facilities projects, public bus transit, and rail transit in Western County including the Commission for its share related to commuter rail operations. The Commission administers these funds on behalf of the County in a special revenue fund. State Transit Assistance: STA provides additional TDA state funding of transit operations and capital for urban counties. Sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuels generate the STA funding. Due to the State's budgetary issues, it suspended the STA allocations for FY 2009/10. These funds, when made available by the State, are allocated to the County's eight public transit operators. State Transportation Improvement Program: Administered by Caltrans, the STIP is funded through state and federal gas tax dollars and is California's primary transportation fund. Dollars are allocated to each county based on a formula that takes into consideration population and highway centerline miles. Actual funding decisions for 75% of STIP dollars are made by local transportation agencies such as the Commission. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality: The CMAQ program is federally funded and is targeted for transportation improvements in areas with air quality problems. This program pays for improvements that reduce congestion while improving air quality. The Commission has also used CMAQ dollars to include fuel and commuter assistance programs, signal interconnects, HOV lanes, and transit projects. Federal Transit Administration: On a reimbursement basis, the federal government provides funding for qualified capital investments in rail facilities, track, and vehicles. FTA funding is generally allocated annually by the federal government and is based on • • • 75 calculated miles of service. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee: In connection with the 2009 Measure A, the TUMF program was established in the Westem County to provide additional funding for regional arterial projects. TUMF is administered by WRCOG. As a result of an MOU with WRCOG, the Commission will receive 48.7% of the TUMF revenues, which are divided equally between the regional arterial and CETAP programs. TUMF revenues maintained by WRCOG are allocated for regional arterial zone improvements and regional transit facilities. Rail and Highway Licenses: The Commission owns parcels of land and right of way for highway, rail, and regional arterial projects in selected areas throughout the County. The ownership provides licensing opportunities for fiber-optic cable, advertising signs, and business tenants. The amount of funding received from the licenses provides revenue to support the cost of owning and maintaining the Commission's land and facilities. Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies: This motorist assistance program places freeway call boxes throughout the freeways and state highways in the County. Additionally, the Commission may allocate a portion of the SAFE revenue to support the FSP and 511 operations. The call boxes enable motorists to summon help should they encounter mechanical or emergency problems while on the road, while the Inland Empire 511 system provides real-time traffic and transit trip information available via the internet or telephone. State law that allows county SAFE agencies to impose a $1 surcharge on vehicle registrations within the County to pay for call box purchases and operations; excess SAFE revenues may be used for 511 operations. Freeway Service Patrol: Caltrans is the primary sponsor of the FSP and provides the majority of funding for the program. The Commission administers and implements the program along with the CHP and Caltrans. Investment Income: The Commission has established a prudent investment policy for cash on hand that is intended to maximize return while providing absolute safeguards on principal and liquidity. A more detailed explanation of the Commission's investment policy is discussed in Section 1. Interest earnings on the State and County investment pools are estimated at an interest rate of 1%. The eamings on funds held by the trustee for debt service and projects in money market funds and investment agreements are assumed to be at 1.0%. Program Revenues Revenues and other financing sources are allocated to the various Commission programs as follows: 76 Highways Funding for the highway program includes Measure A sales tax revenues for Westem County highways, new corridors, economic development incentives, and bond financing programs and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterials programs. The 2009 Measure A sales tax revenues will be used primarily for the SR-91/SR-71 connectors, I- 15 corridor improvements, and 1-215 corridor improvements. Unexpended 1989 Measure A revenues from prior years will be used on remaining projects such as SR-74 widening from 1-15 to 7`" Street and curve realignment, SR-74 from G Street to 1-215, SR-91 HOV lanes from Adams Street to the SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange, I-215/SR- 60 East Junction HOV lane connectors, and SR-111 projects as well as for pass - through funding for interchange improvements to the city of Riverside for SR-91 at La Sierra Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard and to the County for SR-60 at Valley Way. CMAQ and STIP funding will be used for the SR-91 HOV lanes from Adams Street to the SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange and the I-215/SR-60 East Junction HOV lanes connector projects, and additional STIP funds will also be received for the 1-215 corridor improvements. Other state revenues relate to the SR-91 HOV lanes project. The Commission will need to issue $75,000,000 in commercial paper to fund 2009 Measure A projects including MSHCP land acquisition in Coachella Valley; preliminary engineering, design -build, and right of way activities related to the 10-Year Westem County Highway Delivery Plan; and Coachella Valley highways and regional arterials. Local revenues consist of $6,475,000 of TUMF zone reimbursement funds from W RCOG for the SR-74/G Street to 1-215 interchange project and investment income. Transfers in represent proceeds from the 2009 Bonds in the amounts of $131,750,000 to refinance the 2008 Bonds and establish a debt service reserve and $50,000,000 to retire outstanding commercial paper notes; commercial paper project funding of $51,341,000 primarily related to the SR-91 corridor improvements; $1,733,600 for debt service payments related to the advance funding agreements with CVAG and the cities of Blythe and Indio; and a Right of Way Management contribution of $14,300 for the I- 215/SR-60 East Junction HOV lanes connector project.

The 2009 Measure A • 77 Western County's public transit program allocated $5,416,000 for rail. Rail operations, which include Metrolink operating and capital contributions, station and rail right of way maintenance, and support, will be funded with an allocation of $19,155,300 in LTF sales tax revenues as well as $4,500,000 in STA revenues, which are included in other state revenues. LTF capital allocations of $216,600 will fund station rehabilitation projects. The LTF estimate for rail operations and capital assumes the LTF apportionment formula (based on population estimates for the County's three major geographic areas provided by the State Department of Finance), calculates 22% (established for planning purposes by Commission policy) of the amount available for Western County, and then compares that with budgeted expenditures. FTA transit capital funding will be used to for the Perris Valley Line and for construction of the North Main Corona station parking structure and the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility. CMAQ funds will be used for the completion of construction of the North Main Corona station parking structure. Other federal revenues consist of a Transportation Enhancements (TE) grant for the construction of the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility. In addition to the STA revenues noted earlier, other state revenues include Proposition 1B funds for construction of the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility and La Sierra station parking expansion as well as for the station security project. Local revenues include investment income, reimbursements of $862,000 related to the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility and Perris station, SCRRA reimbursements of $180,000 for station security at the Riverside Downtown station, and other miscellaneous revenues of $6,100.

In this budget, the Commission is utilizing .94% of this capacity; other salaries and benefits are funded by specific programs and other federal, state, and local funds. As a result of this requirement, the Commission maintains a small staff to provide the transportation services to Riverside County. The Commission's salary and fringe benefits total $6,053,300. This represents a decrease of 10.2% over the FY 2008/09 budget of $6,743,000.

Future Measure A sales taxes are pledged to cover Measure A debt service payments. Since these projects are not assets of the Commission for which the Commission will have operating responsibilities, except for the intangible rights to operate a toll franchise on highways, future operating costs related to these projects cannot be determined and are not applicable. However, for toll and rail assets, operating budget impacts are considered in future project development. Commercial Paper In March 2005 the Commission established a $185,000,000 commercial paper program to advance project development and land and right of way acquisition under the 2009 Measure A TIP. Maturities of commercial paper notes are rolled over to new issuances of commercial paper. Regarding the commercial paper notes, the Commission currently maintains a P-1 and an A-1+ rating from Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and Standard and Poor's Rating Service (S&P) rating agencies, respectively. Interest payments are made from available commercial paper proceeds or sales tax revenues. The current amount of outstanding commercial paper notes is $110,000,000; however, $50,000,000 will be retired in connection with the 2009 Bonds. In FY 2009/10 the Commission will issue $75,000,000 in new commercial paper notes for capital project funding and interest payments for a projected outstanding amount of $135,000,000 at June 30, 2010. The Cornmission will make $3,110,000 in estimated commercial paper interest payments during the year. The Commission has a $190,000,000 irrevocable direct draw letter of credit and reimbursement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America) as credit and liquidity support for the commercial paper notes. The letter of credit expires in March 2010, and the Commission anticipates an extension or replacement of the letter of credit. However, due to the financial crisis in 2008, the cost for the liquidity support is expected to increase significantly. Interest Rate Swap As a means to achieve a greater level of interest rate stability in connection with a refinancing of outstanding debt in late 2009, the Commission entered into two forward -starting interest rate swaps in August 2006 for a total notional amount of $185,000,000. The counterparty for the first swap ($100,000,000 notional amount) is Bank of America, and the counterparty for the second swap ($85,000,000 notional amount) was Lehman Brothers Derivative Products Inc. 87 (Lehman DP). Under the swap agreements that become effective in October 2009, the Commission will pay the counterparties a fixed rate of 3.679% for 20 years, the expected term of the debt to be issued in 2009; the counterparties will pay the Commission a floating rate equal to 67% of the one -month London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). In September 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings filed for bankruptcy, which was a trigger event under the swap agreement with Lehman DP. Accordingly, the swap agreement was terminated, and a termination payment of approximately $3,453,000 was paid to Lehman DP, The Commission entered into a replacement swap with Deutsche Bank AG (Deutsche Bank) for a notional amount of $85,000,000 at similar terms, except that the Commission will pay Deutsche Bank as the counterparty a fixed rate of 3.206%. Sales Tax Revenue Bonds In June 2008, the Commission issued $126,395,000 in sales tax revenue bonds to refinance $110,005,000 in outstanding commercial paper notes since the inception of the program, fund capitalized interest through December 2009 and a reserve fund, and pay accrued interest and costs of issuance. The 2008 Bonds were necessary for the restoration of the commercial paper program to its maximum capacity in order to fulfill existing commitments for the use of commercial paper, pay costs related to 2009 Measure A projects during FY 2008/09, and provide short-term financing of FTA Small Starts reimbursable costs related to the Perris Valley Line project. The Commission received ratings of Aa2, AA+, and AA from Moody's, S&P, and Fitch Ratings, respectively. During FY 2008/09, no principal payments were required; however, interest payments of $5,850,000 were made. An interest payment of $3,000,000 will be made in FY 2009/10 prior to the planned refinancing of the bonds. The Commission expects to issue $185,000,000 in variable rate bonds to refinance the sales tax revenue bonds and $50,000,000 of outstanding commercial paper notes in October 2009 in connection with the commencement of the interest rate swaps. Estimated debt service payments for the 2009 Bonds in FY 2009/10 are $6,000,000 for principal and $6,500,000 for net interest payments. Debt Capacity Analysis The Commission is legally prohibited from issuing additional debt if its debt coverage ratio is less than 1.5 to 1 on all senior debt. The Commission has adopted a higher standard of 2 to 1 as part of its debt management policy. As Charts 24 and 25 and Table 64 indicate, the Commission has successfully met its policy standard for debt issued under the 2009 Measure A, even in a declining sales tax revenue environment. The 1989 Measure A related debt consistently exceeded the Commission's standard, and coverage of 3.43 is anticipated for FY 88 " " " 2009/10. Any coverage less than 2 to 1 would necessitate using other program funding to cover all debt service expenditures.

The following is a summary of debt issued and secured by 2009 Measure A revenues: 89 2005 Commercial Paper Notes (Limited Tax Bonds), Series A and Series B: In February 2005, the Commission authorized a $200,000,000 commercial paper program. On March 31, 2005, the Commission established the program for $185,000,000 Commercial Paper Notes (Limited Tax Bonds), Series A and B. The repayment of principal and interest on the commercial paper notes is secured by an irrevocable direct draw letter of credit issued by the Bank of America, as the Measure A sales tax revenues securing such repayment commence on July 1, 2009. Maturities of the commercial paper notes may range from one to 270 days, and interest rates are variable and dependent on current market conditions. The initial issuance of commercial paper in April 2005 was $30,005,000; additional amounts of $50,000,000 and $30,000,000 were issued during FY 2006/07 and FY 2007/08, respectively. The $110,005,000 in outstanding commercial paper notes was refinanced by the 2008 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds in June 2008. During FY 2008/09, the Commission issued $110,000,000 in commercial paper notes. The note agreements require the trustee to hold all note proceeds and a portion of sales tax revenues and to segregate all funds into separate accounts as required by the indenture. Receipt of the 2009 Measure A sales tax revenues begins in FY 2009/10. 2008 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (Limited Tax Bonds), Series A-1 and A-2: In June 2008, the Commission issued $126,395,000 principal amount of serial bonds to refinance all of the outstanding principal amount of the commercial paper notes and a portion of accrued interest on the notes, fund capitalized interest through December 1, 2009, and fund a reserve fund. The bonds are subject to redemption on December 1, 2009. If the bonds are not redeemed, they are subject to a mandatory tender at a new interest rate. The bond agreement require the trustee to hold all bond proceeds and a portion of sales tax revenues and to segregate all funds into separate accounts as required by the indentures, including a reserve fund equal to the maximum annual debt service of approximately $10,124,000.

Furthermore, Executive Management is committed to fostering a positive and supportive work environment for staff that emphasizes quality work and encourages teamwork and open communication, while recognizing individual achievement. This is accomplished through a productive and collaborative effort with the members of the Commission and the oversight of the Commission's Executive Committee. Key Assumptions • The Executive Director will play a prominent role with external audiences with an emphasis on working with Congress, Riverside County business organizations, and Southern California transportation agencies and local governments regarding the reauthorization of the federal transportation act and on advancing transportation policy in California. • Project delivery will be a top priority in FY 2009/10 given the Proposition 1 B bond funding in the Trade Corridors Improvement Fund (TCIF) and Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) categories. • The Commission will repeatedly be in the public eye as projects ratchet up the public involvement process as part of the environmental analysis that is being conducted on the development of the Mid County Parkway, realignment of SR-79, construction of the Perris Valley Line project, and widening of 1-215. • The development of the Perris Valley Line project will mark Riverside County's first major rail expansion in more than 11 years and will require significant effort from the Executive Director to obtain approvals from the FTA, local railroads, and community. • The Commission will have a high profile throughout the state due to its efforts to obtain design build authority for the construction of the SR-91 corridor improvement project in Corona. • 97 " " " As a cost savings measure, there will be no merit -based pay increases for employees during FY 2009/10. Accomplishments FY 2008/09 saw extraordinary accomplishments at the Commission, placing it in the top tier of California transportation organizations. In several areas, the Commission stood by itself in successful advocacy, innovation, and leadership. " Completed the reconstruction of the SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange. While Caftans served as the lead construction agency, the Commission funded as much as 85 percent of the overall project. All financial considerations with the contractor have been resolved. " Through the efforts of the Southern California Working Group in 2008, the Commission was successful in obtaining $162.7 million in Proposition 1 B TCIF to build 12 railroad grade separations and improvements on the 1-215Nan Buren Boulevard interchange. A number of these projects are underway with the city of Riverside moving forward with construction at Columbia Avenue. " Continued to implement components of the 10-Year Westem County Highway Delivery Plan. More than $89 million in engineering contracts have been awarded for preliminary engineering work and environmental studies on 1-15, 1-215, and SR- 91. Significant components of the environmental work have been completed on the 1-215. " Launched the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process for the Perris Valley Line project, which included three public meetings or hearings and presentations to organizations such as the Riverside Unified School District. " Moved forward with the eventual implementation of the Perris Valley Line project by reaching agreement with BNSF for access to its mainline. " Continued right of way acquisition for the SR-91 HOV lane project in Downtown Riverside. " Completed the legislative process for obtaining toll approval on the SR-91 and 1-15 corridor improvements with the approval of SB 1316 and AB 1954, respectively. " Completed a draft environmental document for the Mid County Parkway and conducted a lengthy public comment period. As a result of the comments, a number of changes have been made to the proposed project. " Continued multiagency implementation efforts related to the proposed Irvine - Corona Expressway and, as part of this effort, completed drilling for geological testing to determine the viability of a tunnel for this project. The completion of the overall study and feasibility effort is expected this year. " Continued land acquisitions in support of the MSHCP using the commercial paper program. " Implemented a comprehensive cost -savings program that includes the implementation of an early retirement incentive, the elimination of administrative leave time, reductions in travel -related expenditures, and the elimination of a floating holiday for Commission employees. " Funded and/or completed major construction projects in FY 2008/09, including: 98 o Completion of a new parking structure at the North Main Corona commuter rail station; o Completion of funding for a new Bob Hope Drive/Ramon Road interchange on -10, which will begin construction in 2009; o Ongoing STIP-funded CVAG project development efforts for additional interchange improvements on 1-10; o Completion of the SR-91/Green River Road interchange construction as a result of state and federal funding buttressed by the Commission's commercial paper program; and o Implementation of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding for several projects throughout the County. Major Initiatives Project development and delivery will continue as the key Measure A priority. Work efforts are ongoing for the SR-74, SR-79, SR-91, 1-15, 1-215, Mid County Parkway, and Coachella Valley Measure A commitments in partnership with CVAG. Continuing expansion of commuter rail parking as well as project development and planning for the Perris Valley Line will also be top priorities in FY 2009/10. Due to the continuing significance and volatility of the State's General Fund and budgetary issues on transportation funding, staff will continue to explore alternative financing opportunities. The approval of ARRA funding to build infrastructure was unexpected but provided a needed one-time increase in federal funding to build new projects. The ongoing implementation of these improvements will continue during FY 2009/10. A regional effort to generate additional funding for goods movement needs has been launched with the Ports. Instead of seeking a legislatively mandated container fee, transportation agencies are working closely with the Ports to develop a cooperative surcharge to fund regional improvements including grade separations in Riverside County. Regional cooperation and collaboration will continue to be given significant emphasis consistent with the philosophy and mission of this Commission. This has proven successful as part of the Southern Califomia Working Group effort and will become increasingly important to ensure that Southern California receives needed funding when Congress reauthorizes the federal transportation act in 2009. T oward that goal, the Commission is also a member of Mobility 21, which is comprised of county transportation agencies, business organizations, and the Automobile Club of Southem Califomia. Mobility 21's aim is to raise awareness and funding for Southern California transportation needs. Enhanced external communications will remain atop Commission priority. Media relations will continue to be formally cultivated, and press releases will remain a major effort along with the Commission Connection newsletter. An expanding and systematic outreach to business and civic groups, focusing on Commission efforts in terms of funding, construction, and services will be the central feature of the communications program. • • • 99 " " While actively participating in all of these major endeavors, the Executive Director will maintain and improve administrative efficiency and fiscally sound practices characteristic of the Commission. With a total of 41 budgeted staff positions, the Commission organization remains consistent with Commission direction. The number of budgeted positions is down from the previous fiscal year due to the implementation of an early retirement program to save costs. The Commission will continue to be competitive in the employment market and will retain capable staff as well as attract high quality applicants. Staff training and development will continue, enabling our small and dedicated staff to enhance skills, productivity, and value. Our goal is to maintain the most effective mid -sized transportation agency in California. Department Goals Maximize funding for transportation improvements in Riverside County through legislative advocacy and locally controlled funding options such as sales taxes. Objectives: " Implement the Commission's early development project priorities outlined in the recent Commission workshops, focusing on the first 10 years of the 2009 Measure A and the closeout of the 1989 Measure A expenditure plan. " Advocate federal appropriations for current projects, FTA Small Starts rail funding, and the regional efforts to reduce the community impacts of rail goods movement. " Place an emphasis on initiating federally authorized and funded projects included within the new federal transportation bill and the Commission's ongoing project priorities. Executive staff will respond to the State's transportation funding issues by continuing project work on named Measure A projects. " Work with the Ports on their efforts to develop a surcharge to pay for regional transportation improvements including railroad grade separations. Support regional transportation solutions in cooperation with surrounding counties that are of benefit to Riverside County. Objectives: " Continue work on grade separation and rail capacity projects funded through SAFETEA-LU and TCIF as well as those called for in the Commission's $561 million Grade Separation Plan adopted in October 2006. " Work with neighboring counties regarding corridor improvements on SR-71 and SR-91 as well as on 1-15 and 1-215. " Maintain an effective working relationship with the agencies that comprise Metrolink to ensure that Riverside County commuter rail needs are served in an efficient, effective, and safe manner. 100 Maintain effective working relationships with Commissioners to strengthen and expand the Commission's leadership in transportation policy decision -making at all levels of government. Objectives: • Facilitate Commissioner participation at the regional, state, and federal levels to raise the interests of the Commission and seek favorable action. • Continue regular one-on-one meetings between the Executive Director, senior staff, and the Commissioners. While maintaining a relatively small staff, promote the Commission's effectiveness by improving and developing staff skills, using state-of-the-art working tools, and fostering an environment that encourages and rewards individual and team effort. Objectives: • Continue to maintain a well -documented employee appraisal process that provides clear, understandable, and measurable performance criteria for all employees. • Continue to refine the Commission's performance -based compensation system. Develop the framework for a Commission culture that enhances productivity, encourages regular and open communication among staff, and promotes the mutual achievement of individual and organizational goals and objectives. Objectives: • Conduct a semi-annual review of organization accomplishments as measured against planned objectives to determine progress in meeting those objectives and action steps needed. • Facilitate open communications and coordination between management, professional staff, and support staff through regular meetings.

Through increased participation, the Commission is able to play a stronger leadership role at all levels of government to advance its interests and policy goals. The importance of this is magnified when the Commission is seeking changes in law or needs legislative authorization to move forward with a specific project. The Commission's Legislative Affairs efforts focus on taking full advantage of opportunities at both the federal and state levels when there is a potential impact to Commission programs. In doing so, the Commission maintains its role as a major legislative force and a statewide leader on a broad range of issues affecting transportation policy such as project delivery and enhanced funding. This requires the establishment and maintenance of ongoing communication with Riverside County's legislative delegations in Washington and Sacramento. The Commission accomplishes this via a combined effort that includes Commissioners, staff, and legislative consultants in the two capitals. Specific legislation in the coming year will be necessary to advance a number of important Commission work efforts. In FY 2008/09, the Commission sought the approval of two bills to authorize the development of toll facilities on SR-91 in Corona and 1-15. Both bills, SB 1316 and AB 1954, respectively, were approved and signed by the Governor in September 2008. In FY 2009/10, the Commission will seek legislative approval for more flexibility in delivering these projects by seeking design -build authorization for the SR-91 corridor improvement project. In terms of working with state government, funding has been unpredictable for projects that are funded through the STIP or from the voter -approved Proposition 1 B bond program. The approval of a balanced state budget in February 2009 was • • 111 " expected to stabilize the situation; however, the weakened California economy and declining tax revenues may force significant cuts in programs. This creates uncertainty regarding transportation funding because a number of Proposition 1 B CMIA highway projects including the widening of 1-215 in Murrieta and the widening of SR-91 for HOV lanes in Riverside are slated to begin construction in the next two years. The other Proposition 1 B component that is important to the Commission is the TCIF. By working closely with other transportation agencies in Southem California as part of the Southern California Consensus Working Group, the Commission was able to obtain $162.7 million in funding for 12 grade separation projects throughout Riverside County as well as for the widening of the Van Buren interchange at 1-215. The issue of federal legislation and working with Congress will have heightened awareness in the coming year because of the February 2009 approval of ARRA, or the federal stimulus package, and the likely reauthorization of the federal transportation bill in 2009. In anticipation of this priority, the Commission has already bolstered its lobbying presence in Washington, D.C. to play an influential role in shaping the reauthorization legislation. Developing effective partnerships with agencies such as Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), SunLine, and CVAG will be an important component of the Commission's federal lobbying strategy pertaining to the federal transportation bill reauthorization process. Ideally, Riverside County will communicate a unified message to Congress regarding its mobility needs. During the coming year, the Commission will play a leadership role in bringing various agencies together in this effort that will include cities, the County, and transit operators. Another important effort in working with Washington is joining with other Southern California transportation agencies to maximize regional funding. This proved to be successful in California during the TCIF funding allocations and can be counted on in terms of the federal reauthorization as well. One organization that the Commission is a member of is Mobility 21, which is comprised of transportation agencies, the Automobile Club of Southern California, and major business organizations such as the Greater Riverside Area Chambers of Commerce. Communications The Commission is committed to communicating with and educating a broad arena of interested parties on the roles and responsibilities of the agency. Emphasis is placed on informing Riverside County residents and businesses about transportation projects and services and maintaining open communication with other transportation stakeholders. Various forms of media and communication tools are used in these outreach efforts with the overall objectives to provide accurate, informative, and easily accessible information; facilitate public participation in the Commission processes; and increase interagency coordination and cooperation. The Deputy Executive Director is responsible for communications with the news media and prepares text for Commission materials, presentations, and speeches. Along with the Executive Director, the Deputy Executive Director, Community 112 Relations Manager, and individual project managers actively participate in public presentations at the local, regional, and state levels to represent the Commission's interests. Strong relationships with the news media are very important to ensure that the public is well informed regarding the Commission's progress in determining funding priorities, designing infrastructure improvements, and constructing projects. There are many points throughout these processes in which the public can and should play a role in shaping the future of the County's transportation network. Key Assumptions • The Government Relations Manager will oversee the legislative affairs work effort with guidance from the Executive Director and the Deputy Executive Director. • The annual newspaper report to the public will be distributed throughout the County. • The Commission Connection newsletter will be published regularly as well as distributed electronically and posted on the Commission website. • The Speakers Bureau effort will continue to seek local community opportunities to expand outreach regarding the Commission's activities. • The Commission's website will be updated and refreshed on a regular basis. • Additional communications tools and opportunities will be explored for incorporation into the ongoing program to help build public awareness of Commission activities including radio, television, and the internet. • The Commission will take a leadership role in formulating a countywide direction on federal transportation policy in order to influence the reauthorization of the federal transportation act. • Public outreach will take a heightened role as project development activities accelerate on projects such as the SR-91 and 1-15 corridor improvement projects, widening of 1-215, the SR-91 HOV lanes, the Perris Valley Line project, the Mid County Parkway, and the SR-79 realignment. • Construction updates regarding the construction of a new parking structure at the North Main Corona station will continue to be a priority and will require coordination with the city of Corona and Metrolink. • Goods movement will remain a key policy priority for the Commission and there will be an emphasis to ensure that Riverside County receives significant funding for this need from state and federal governments. • Another legislative priority will be to seek authorization for design -build procurement authority for the SR-91 corridor improvement project through Corona. Accomplishments • Received legislative approval for two bills, SB 1316 and AB 1954, which provide the Commission with tolling authority on two future projects to widen SR-91 and 1-15. 113 " Published a four -page annual report supplement in three major newspapers The Press Enterprise, Desert Sun, and The Califomian. " Continued effective relationships with the news media resulting in informative coverage regarding local and regional transportation issues and Measure A project delivery.

The emphasis resulted in co -hosting a major conference in Los Angeles in late 2008. " Upgraded a new Commissioner orientation program that will bolster Commissioner knowledge and participation regarding Commission projects and activities. Major Initiatives Legislative Affairs Legislatively, the continued quest for additional state and federal investment in transportation infrastructure will be an ongoing concern. At the state level, ongoing state funding problems will likely result in the diversion of state transportation funding. The uncertainty of state funding has led the Commission to embark upon 114 new funding strategies such as toll financing to build new projects. Making these projects more efficient, such as allowing for design -build procurements, will be a major priority in FY 2009/10. Additionally, in shaping state transportation policy, there is a need to be especially active in state legislative matters to ensure that Riverside County needs obtain proper consideration and funding. Another concem to monitor is state legislation that could impact transportation economic development in Riverside County through planning regulations as evidenced in SB 375. Another priority will be dealing with Congress on the reauthorization of the federal transportation act. The federal transportation bill will be a critical opportunity to secure funding for goods movement -related needs such as the funding of Alameda Corridor East grade separations in Riverside County. Communications The Commission provides information to the public through various channels including: 1) participation at public meetings, chambers of commerce, and service clubs; 2) production and provision of resource materialsand fact sheets; 3) maintenance and enhancement of the Commission's website; and 4) development of newspaper press releases, radio and television interviews, and cable television spots. The Commission's largest publication effort to provide widespread understanding of its projects and expenditures is its four -page annual report which is published in three area newspapers throughout the County. Broad distribution of the Commission Connection, a monthly one -page, two-sided newsletter highlighting actions of the Commission and emerging topics, will continue as part of the Commission's communications efforts. Efforts will continue to update and expand the Commission's contact database including e-mail addresses in order to support distribution of the Commission's public information materials. A continuing emphasis will be placed on providing communications support to major project development efforts including the Perris Valley Line, Mid County Parkway, SR-91 and 1-15 corridor improvement projects, and ongoing highway construction projects. The need for proactive public communication and outreach remains important, as the Commission continues to move forward with the delivery of the 2009 Measure A work program. This is an area of emphasis, as the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan places the Commission in a high -profile role to deliver large- scale highway projects. This will require additional contact with the public by the Community Relations Manager. The Commission's outreach will include a proactive effort to work closely with various media formats such as print, radio, internet, and television to increase their understanding of and interest in transportation issues and to generate a higher level of media coverage. Toward that end, opportunities will be identified for live or taped interviews and presentations that speak to local residents and employers and their 115 " questions concerning transportation issues. Appropriate forums may include city council meetings local cable television and radio. New Commissioner orientation meetings will be provided by the Deputy Executive Director in one-to-one or group settings. To supplement individual Commissioner meetings with the Executive Director, continuing education opportunities at the small group level will also be provided to Commissioners that focus on timely issues. Department Goals Foster the Commission's full involvement in a broad range of local, regional, state, and federal government settings. Objectives: " Participate in the Self -Help Counties Coalition, the California Transit Association, Southern California Legislative Roundtable, League of Cities, Mobility 21, state and federal transportation agencies, and community/business organizations.

Chart 32  Finance Professional 71% Expenditures Support 2% Personnel 27% Finance's total budget is $9,388,800 and reflects a 53.1% increase over the prior year's budget, primarily related to debt service. In FY 2008/09, the Commission paid $3,453,000 to terminate an interest rate swap due to a trigger event as discussed in Section 6. The FY 2009/10 debt service represents the estimated interest expenditures to be funded by the 2009 Measure A Western County bond financing program. Department staffing costs will total $694,600, reflecting a slight decrease of 0.6% due to Finance staff providing increased support to various programs and projects. Professional costs of $1,779,600 include various services related to general legal, investment and financial advisory, external and internal audits, debt management primarily related to the administration of increased utilization of the commercial paper program, CAFR and annual budget graphic design, and implementation of the new ERP system. The significant increase in professional costs is due to the estimated cost to renew or replace in March 2010 the letter of credit supporting the commercial paper program. Due to the financial and credit crisis, costs are expected to increase about six times the current fees. Support costs of $59,100 include CAFR and annual budget production costs of $28,000.

Finance activities include investing the Commission's cash resources, planning and directing financial transactions, and subsequent monitoring of legal and regulatory requirements. Adequate cash flow must be maintained while at the same time prudently investing idle funds. Borrowing needs are carefully planned using both short- and long-term debt. Once debt is issued, there are ongoing responsibilities including interaction with financial advisors, bankers, dealers and underwriters, bond • 120 " " " counsel, bond insurers, trustees, issuing and paying agents, arbitrage consultants, and rating agencies as well as providing regular and consistent information disclosure to investors. Fiscal accountability involves receiving all funds due the Commission, paying all Commission obligations, maintaining the general ledger, reporting regularly on the Commission's fiscal results, and preparing and monitoring the budget. Fiscal accountability requires the coordination of budget planning and monitoring and the accurate and timely accounting for all funding sources, including compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing those funds. Accounting encompasses cash receipt and disbursement functions, maintenance of the general ledger including project cost accounting, payroll processing, quarterly and annual financial reporting, and retention of and coordination with independent auditors. The Commission also recognizes the importance of accountability for the organization. As a result, the Commission is highly regarded by individuals, peers, other organizations, and government officials at a local, regional, state, and national basis. A formal organizational accountability program was approved in January 2006 to address fraud risk, ethical conduct, financial and operational disclosure, and maintaining the public's confidence in the Commission. Accordingly, measures have been implemented based on a conceptual framework related to oversight, reporting, fraud, internal control, and ethics. Procurements and Assets Management In the management of the procurements and contracts process, the responsibility of the procurement and assets management function is to ensure that the procurement policies approved by the Commission are followed and procurement procedures are updated as required. The function is responsible for the purchase of all goods and services, except for real property acquisition, in accordance with Commission policies and federal and state funding requirements to ensure the implementation of the Commission's projects and programs. This includes updates to the disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) program, goal, and anticipated DBE participation level (AADPL) for federally funded projects. Procuring goods and services for the Commission is a cooperative effort. All Commission staff involved in procurements for their projects and programs are responsible to employ sound judgment and appropriate standards of ethics and fairness to procure in a manner most advantageous to the Commission. This division also conducts a review and updates insurance coverage for the Commission and its properties. The Commission owns and maintains five Metrolink commuter rail stations, and stations along the Perris Valley Line extension will be added in the next few years. Assets management oversees the daily maintenance of these stations; however, expenditures are identified in the Rail Department budget. It is the responsibility of 121 assets management to ensure that the rail passengers have a safe and pleasant experience at the Commission -owned Metrolink commuter rail stations. Key Assumptions • The commercial paper program will continue as a short-term financing vehicle for the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan projects and as grant anticipation funding for the Perris Valley Line project with the renewal or replacement of the letter of credit as liquidity support. • The Commission will pay 100% of the annual required contribution related to postretirement health care benefits. • Arbitrage calculations related to the outstanding debt issues will be performed by a consultant on an annual basis. • Directors and program managers will continue to have adequate project budget and accounting information to make informed decisions. • Phase 1 of the ERP system finance -related modules for general ledger, project accounting, accounts payable, purchasing, and contract management will be implement in September 2009.

Major Initiatives Finance and Accounting The commercial paper program has been in place for over four years and has provided advance funding for projects included in the 2009 Measure A and related 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan. Commission management will continue to consider appropriate uses of commercial paper to advance 2009 Measure A projects of the Commission and CVAG and to provide FTA Small Starts grant anticipation funding for the Perris Valley Line project. In order to restore additional funding capacity to the commercial paper program, a portion of the outstanding commercial paper notes will be refinanced along with the 2008 Bonds in connection with the issuance of variable rate sales tax revenue bonds in October 2009 and commencement of the interest rate swaps. Additionally, the Commission will need to obtain liquidity support for the 2009 Bonds and renew or replace the letter of credit facility supporting the commercial paper program. Staff is developing a financing plan to support the highway and rail capital projects to be delivered through 2019 and to assess future financing requirements. This financing plan will incorporate revised sales tax revenue forecasts as well as other potential federal, state, and local revenue sources, including tolls. Based on the updated cost estimates for these projects and identified revenues, the financial advisory team will evaluate potential 123 project funding shortfalls and alternative financing strategies that may be required. Financing alternatives to be considered include commercial paper, long-term bond issues to finance Measure A and toll projects, and federal loan programs. The financing plan process will also include consideration of the restriction of the $500 million 2009 Measure A bonding cap, which could include the possibility of a future ballot measure to increase the cap. The initial internal audit risk assessment completed in FY 2007/08 will be updated, including any changes in the three-year audit plan. Approximately three intemal audit projects per year will be developed as part of the next major effort related to the organizational accountability program. An outcome of the projects included in the audit plan will be operational solutions such as process improvements. The Finance Department will continue to keep abreast of GASB technical activities affecting the Commission's accounting and financial reporting activities. Recently released standards that may affect the Commission include fund balance reporting and governmental fund type definitions as well as the accounting and reporting for derivatives such the interest rate swaps. The Finance Department will continue the implementation of a new ERP financial management software system that will integrate data processing across the Commission, automate administrative processes, and embrace data integration. The ERP implementation efficiency gains include an automated paperless workflow system, advanced project accounting, multi -year budgeting, multi -year contract management, grant tracking, and readily available scanned images that can be retrieved by all users. The go -live date for the core modules is currently scheduled for September 2009. Procurements and Assets Management As a result of the addition of a procurement and asset manager and a procurement administrator to support procurements and contracts management, a centralized procurements process is being implemented to manage requests for proposals or qualifications and related contract development. Accordingly, this will strengthen controls to ensure consistency in the application of procurement policies and procedures and adherence to applicable laws and regulations, especially those related to federal and state grants. Furthermore, these positions assist in the property management functions of the Commission's commuter rail stations. To prepare for the long-term maintenance of Commission -owned stations, a commuter rail station rehabilitation and strategic plan is being implemented (see Section 7.2, Rail). Part of the implementation of this plan will be the outsourcing of the property management function, including maintenance, of the stations during FY 2009/10. Staff has determined the annual DBE and AADPL goals for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2009/10, subject to Commission approval. For funding received from the Federal 124 " " Highway Administration (FHWA) through Caltrans, the race conscious AADPL and the race -neutral AADPL are 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively for FFY 2009/10.

Short-range planning and programming involves the development of the five-year STIP and preparation of the five-year FTIP for Riverside County. These programming documents identify projects and their respective funding and schedules. " 134 The Commission's involvement with long-range planning efforts includes the coordination and input into planning efforts throughout the County and southern California region. These efforts include participation in local, bicounty, and regional corridor studies, including the continued development of the CETAP corridors. Regional planning efforts are incorporated in the RTP (a 30-year transportation plan) developed by SCAG in conjunction with county transportation commissions, sub -regional agencies, local agencies, transit operators, and other interested parties. The Commission is responsible for approving projects for Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds and coordinating with Caltrans on the selection of Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds as part of the STIP approved by the CTC every two years. In 2007, the CMIA program was approved by the CTC. CMIA is one of the various categories included in the Proposition 1 B transportation bond package that was approved by the voters in November 2006. In 2008, another Proposition 1B category, the TCIF, was approved by the CTC. The Commission is a member of the Southern California Consensus Group that developed and submitted project proposals for consideration of funding from the TCIF program. As with the RIP and IIP funds, CMIA and TCIF funds are administered and allocated by the CTC. Programming specifically involves the development, review, and approval of projects for various funding programs. In order to receive federal funds and approvals, all projects funded with federal and state dollars, or local projects that are regionally significant, must be included in the FTIP. SCAG is responsible for incorporating all six -county (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura) transportation improvement programs into one regional programming document and conducting a conformity analysis with the adopted air plans to ensure compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This effort is performed every 18 to 24 months. The Commission is responsible for allocating the following local, state, and federal funding sources: Local Sources: • 1989 and 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plans • Western County TUMF regional arterial program State Sources: • SB 821 bicycle and pedestrian projects • RIP Federal Sources: • TE • 135 " STP " CMAQ The Commission also serves as the CMA for the County and is responsible for developing and updating the CMP. The CMP was developed to meet state legislation and federal Congestion Management System (CMS) requirements, which includes an enhanced traffic monitoring system. The CMP's highways and regional arterials are regularly monitored to ensure that they are not operating at deficient levels [Level of Service (LOS) "F"]. If a deficiency occurs along the CMP system, a deficiency plan must be prepared that identifies mitigation measures and/or projects that will improve the LOS to "E" or higher. Key Assumptions " The Commission will continue its efforts in working with transportation partners to streamline and improve project delivery. " A Special Use Permit and a federal funds obligation will continue to allow completion of -geotechnical field-testing in the Cleveland National Forest to determine the feasibility of tunnel construction for the Irvine -Corona Expressway. " Project development work for CETAP corridors will be funded with a combination of local, state, and federal funds. " MSHCP funding contributions to the RCA through 2019 have been completed. " The consultant contract for CMP services is maintained to provide assistance with ongoing traffic monitoring efforts, biennial updates to the CMP, and support on other related planning activities. " The Commission will utilize all available funding sources on transportation projects identified in the 1989 Measure A and the 2009 Measure A as well as other regional high priority projects, including TUMF regional arterial projects. " The consultant contract for TUMF project development and oversight will be maintained. " The Commission will continue participation in local, bicounty, and regional planning efforts representing the interests of the County. " The Commission will work with the CTC, Caltrans, and local project sponsors to implement projects funded with STIP-RIP, CMIA, and TCIF to ensure that the programming and timing of allocations are consistent with project schedules. " The Commission will develop strategies to implement alternative financing structures including public toll roads. " The Commission will continue the development of a project management database that will consolidate all projects into one database to improve efficiencies in monitoring projects and funding and to integrate other database needs within the Commission. 136 " " " The Commission will continue to assist local project sponsors with the processing of state and federal funding approvals and overall project delivery. Accomplishments " Submitted 18 STIP allocation and amendment requests to the CTC. " Completed the draft project level Environmental Impact Study (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Mid County Parkway project. " Completed geotechnical borings in the Cleveland National Forest to assist in determining feasibility of a future Irvine -Corona Expressway. " Continued funding contributions to the RCA to support reserve assembly. " Obtained a Letter of No Prejudice repayment for $21 million for advancing CMAQ funds for the completed SR-60 HOV lane project from 1-15 to Valley Way. " Completed 22 local agency agreements and amendments for the implementation of TUMF regional arterial projects. " Completed 66 RTP project amendments. " Completed over 290 FTIP project amendments. " Facilitated the development of ARRA allocations and a local stimulus program for Riverside County transportation projects. " Completed the project database development. Major Initiatives Each county transportation commission throughout the State is responsible for programming RIP funds, which represents 75% of the total STIP funding available statewide for capital enhancement projects. The 75% funding level is then further distributed with 60% of the funds allocated to Southern California and 40% to Northern California. A population formula is then applied to determine county funding levels called "county shares." The Commission is responsible for ensuring that projects funded with STIP funding are administered and implemented consistent with CTC and Caltrans policies. Two percent of RIP funding available to Riverside County was allocated for staff support to carry out STIP PPM activities. Federal TE funds are also administered through the STIP. TE funds are not subject to general fund diversions; however, TE funds are authorized each year by the passage of the state budget. CMIA and TCIF funds are monitored by Caltrans and the CTC. Baseline agreements are developed for each project under these programs. Any changes to project funding, scope, or schedule will require an amendment to the baseline agreement. The CTC allocates the CMIA and TCIF funds and the process for allocating the funds is similar to the process established for STIP funds. 137 Included in the 2009 Measure A is a provision that identifies $400 million of TUMF revenues collected on the Western County TUMF network to be allocated to TUMF regional arterial projects. Of the $400 million, $200 million is slated specifically for the CETAP corridors and the other $200 million for regional arterial projects. In September 2004 the Commission established a 5-year program and approved $71.7 million to fund project development work for 24 regional arterial projects. An amendment to the $400 million cap provision was approved by WRCOG and the Commission in August and September 2008, respectively. As a result, the Commission will continue receiving TUMF funds for the CETAP and Regional Arterial Program projects above the original $400 million cap. The Commission initiated strategic partnership efforts to identify and evaluate alternative financing strategies. Alternative financing will likely be necessary to fund the significant gap between funding readily available through conventional governmental funding/financing techniques and project needs. Alternative financing structuring including the use of public toll roads will be necessary to fully fund the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan. Transportation Planning The Commission's role in planning throughout the year will involve working with SCAG, sub -regional agencies, local agencies, and the other county transportation commissions in the region on various planning efforts relative to the development of the 2012 RTP, implementation of the 2008 RTP, corridor studies, goods movement studies, and efforts to update transportation computer models and project databases. Staff will also be an active participant in the development of green house gas reduction implementation guidelines, including SB 375 legislative amendments. In FY 2009/10 the Commission will continue its work efforts on the CETAP corridors. The draft environmental document for the Mid County Parkway has been circulated for public review and public comment received. During FY 2009/10 the environmental process for this project will continue. Additionally, the geotechnical feasibility report for the Irvine -Corona Expressway should be concluded by the end of the calendar year. The Commission will also provide coordination and oversight, along with SANBAG, for the Moreno Valley -San Bernardino County corridor activities that are being led by the County, focusing on the Pigeon Pass and Reche Canyon road improvements. The FY 2009/10 CMP effort will focus on the CMP biennial update and completion of the conversion of traffic counter equipment to digital technology. Traffic count information will be provided to the public via the Commission's website. • 138 " Transportation Programming As mentioned above, the Commission is responsible for allocating various state and federal funds. The funds are monitored to ensure that regulations are adhered to in order to prevent funds from lapsing. The following summarizes the status of these funding programs: Local Funding TUMF Project monitoring and tracking of TUMF regional arterial projects will occur according to the agreements between local agencies and the Commission. In addition, Commission staff will work with local agencies regarding amendments to agreements and any issues regarding project delivery. To date, 22 project agreements have been executed totaling approximately $61 million. During FY 2009/10, a total of $26.3 million is anticipated to be reimbursed to local agencies using TUMF regional arterial funding. 2009 Measure A Western County Regional Arterial Program A call for projects was initiated for the 2009 Measure A Western County Regional Arterial program. Due to the economic downturn, the selection of projects has been postponed. It is anticipated that the call for projects will be revisited some time during FY 2009/10. State Funding STIP- RIP/IJP The 2010 STIP cycle is scheduled for approval by the CTC in April 2010. Staff will work with the CTC, Ca!trans, and local agencies in reviewing STIP programming capacity and determine projects for inclusion in the 2010 STIP. Amendments to the current 2008 STIP will continue for projects that have changes in project scope, schedule, and funding. Projects requiring time extensions may be granted by the CTC if deadlines cannot be met; however, they are not guaranteed. SB 821 Annually,. the Commission releases a call for bicycle and pedestrian projects in April. The Commission establishes an evaluation committee to rank eligible projects that meet the established criteria. Project recommendations are approved by the Commission in June of each year. The Commission approved 17 projects in the amount of $1.4 million for FY 2008/09. The FY 2009/10 call for projects will 139 have funding of $1.4 million available for award. These expenditures are included in the LTF special revenue fund, which is reflected in the Transit Department since this fund's activities relate primarily to transit funding. Federal Funding CMAQ, STP, and TE The Commission is responsible for allocating. CMAQ, STP, and TE funds to transportation projects. In 2003, the Commission directed staff to program SAFETEA-LU funds (CMAQ and STP) to projects that were impacted by the state budget crisis and/or the rise in construction material costs with the exception of the CMAQ funding that is apportioned to the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB). In 2007, the Commission approved future. CMAQ and STP funds (from the reauthorization of the federal transportation act) for grade separation projects approved in the Proposition 1B TCIF program. The Commission will be reviewing federal funding options for the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan projects once the federal transportation act is reauthorized and future funding levels are known. The Commission defers the selection of projects for CMAQ funds apportioned to the SSAB to CVAG. In 2007, CVAG approved 22 projects for CMAQ funding allocations of approximately $30 million from SAFETEA-LU. In 2004 the CTC restructured the administration of the TE program by incorporating it in the STIP. Although TE funds are federal, they must be granted state budget authority in order for the funds to be allocated by the CTC. If the state budget approval is delayed, the TE funds cannot be allocated until the state budget is passed. In 2005, the Commission approved 18 projects totaling $17.6 million over FY 2006/07-2009/10. These projects are included in the 2008 STIP. During FY 2006/07, two projects were allocated totaling $917,290. Subsequently, in FY 2007/08, four projects were allocated totaling $5.6 million. During FY 2008/09, five additional projects are planned for delivery totaling $4 million. It is anticipated that the seven remaining projects will be allocated in FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/11. Project Monitoring In 2006, a consultant firm was awarded a contract to develop a web -based project management database.

Chart 35  Rail Personnel 4% Expenditures Rail expenditures of $24,279,100 include Metrolink operations and capital support as well as maintenance and operations of the five Commission -owned and operated commuter rail stations. Professional and support costs include legal and consultant services as well as general supplies, media ads, printing services, and marketing incentives. These costs are comparable to the prior year. Station maintenance includes property management, utilities, grounds maintenance, repairs, cleaning, and security services at the five Commission -owned commuter rail stations and adjacent parking areas and the new Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility. Grounds maintenance and repairs reflect an increase in expenditures due to aging irrigation systems and the new Perris facility, and security costs have increased as a result additional services, including coverage of the new North Main Corona station parking structure. Operating expenditures consists of an operating contribution of $7,000,000 to SCRRA for Metrolink operations and $13,300,000 for new rail cars. The Commission's subsidy to SCRRA's operating budget has increased by 21.7% from last year's budget primarily due to increased safety, insurance, and mechanical expenses for new equipment. The Commission's commuter rail program expects to meet the number of required Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) targets for FY 2009/10. 146 Table 75 - Rail Expenditure Detail FY OT/08 FY 08/09 FY 08/09 FY 09/10 Dollar Percent Actual Revised Budget Projected Budget Change Change Salaries and Benefits $ 358,800 $ 427,900 $ 378.800 $ 439,400 g 11,560 2.7% Professional Costa Legal Services 48,900 230,000 182,200 210,000 (2(1,000) -8.7% Professional Services -Other 118.300 180,500 _ 144.700 199,300 18.800 10.4°% Total Professional Costs 167,200 410,500 326,900 409,300 (1,200) -0.3% Support Costs 83,500 145,100 122,500 158,200 13,100 9.0% Rail Station Operations Station Maintenance 670700 830,000 748,100 1,030,200 200,200 24.1% Station Security 972,400 995.000 1,200,000 1.300,000 305.000 30.7°% Other Transit Operations 255,800 134,000 - 136,900 162,000 28,000 20.9°% Capital Maintenance - - - 13,306,000 13,300,000 ifON/01 Operating Maintenance 6.510,400 5979.600 6,335,600 7 280,000 1.300.400 21217% Total Rag Station Operations Special Studies TOTAL Rail Operations Rail Staffing Summary 8,410,300 7,938,600 8,420,600 23,072,200 15033,600 190.6°% 32,700 200,000 30,000 200,000 0.0% ; 9 050 500 $ 9 127 100 S 9.278= $ 24 279109 $ 15 157 000 188 2% Department Budget Overview -Rail Operations Department Description The Commission has directed efforts in the areas of regional commuter rail, intercity passenger rail, high-speed rail, and capital improvements to support enhanced passenger and freight rail service. The entire program includes elements of planning, programming, commuter rail development and support, station and corridor management, mitigation of community and environmental impacts, legislative and 147 " regulatory advocacy, and construction of capital projects. Many elements are managed or supported by other Commission departments, legal counsel, and consultants. Departmental efforts contributing to the rail program are found throughout the budget document. Coordination and consultation also occur with a variety of public and private entities including the CTC, Ca!trans, California Public Utilities Commission, California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), Federal Railroad Administration, FTA, Amtrak, environmental agencies, the University of California (UC), transit providers, SCAG, WRCOG, CVAG, SANDAG, Los Angeles -San Diego -San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency, local governments, private freight railroads, businesses, and property owners. The Commission participates in the ongoing funding and governance of Metrolink by SCRRA, a joint powers authority consisting of the county transportation commissions of Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties. The Commission holds two voting positions on SCRRA's eleven member board. Commission staff serves on the five -county Technical Advisory Committee which negotiates service and funding levels, based upon the county's established priorities, and provides technical assistance, coordination between various SCRRA and commission departments, and linkages to local communities. Of the seven commuter rail lines operated by Metrolink, three routes consisting of the Riverside, IEOC, and 91 Lines directly serve Western County. Unlike the other SCRRA member agencies, the Commission owns and operates the commuter rail stations serving Riverside County: Riverside Downtown, Pedley, La Sierra, West Corona, North Main Corona, and, coming soon, Perris. Station operation and maintenance costs are included in the Rail Department budget with services currently coordinated by the Finance Department's Procurements and Assets Management Division. New and ongoing construction projects at these stations are described in the capital budget managed by the Capital Project Development and Delivery Department. Key Assumptions " Metrolink's preliminary FY 2009/10 budget is adopted by the Commission and SCRRA. " Ridership and fare revenues continue to grow on the Riverside, 1E0C, and 91 Lines. " The Commission manages the station security guard contract. Estimated costs are based on the actual contract terms with a portion to be reimbursed by SCRRA. Accomplishments " Completed substantial construction on the 1,000 space North Main Corona parking structure and developed a comprehensive parking strategy to minimize disruption to existing passengers during construction. 148 " Cornmenced implementation of the Green Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan to upgrade the existing Metrolink stations for energy and resource efficiency and to rehabilitate station elements such as painting, paving, and lighting. " Initiated a safety and security assessment at the Metrolink stations that will identify upgrades to the security camera system, monitoring activities, and emergency response. " Supported the holiday toy train events at Riverside County commuter rail stations. Community participation grew substantially with record attendance at the four station events, and the Spark of Love Toy Drive generated a record number of toys for local charities. Major Initiatives Over the last 16 years, more than $100 million in capital improvements have been made in developing stations and securing access to support the Commission's commuter rail services operations. Current major initiatives include the completion of a 1,000 space parking structure at the North Main Corona station, construction of the Perris Multimodal Facility, and rehabilitation projects at various stations. A conceptual planning effort to expand the La Sierra station with the addition of a multimodal park and ride facility is also currently in process. Additionally, the Commission is working with OCTA and SANBAG to advance additional IEOC and 91 Line train service by 2011. As part of that initiative, the Commission is expanding the layover facility at the Riverside Downtown station to accommodate additional train sets. The development of the Perris Valley Line project and its operational impacts will continue to be pursued and evaluated, respectively. The Commission has developed a draft Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual to establish the design guidelines for future 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 extension as well as consideration for a multimodal park and ride facility at the La Sierra station and other locations to be determined based on demand. The goal of this effort is to provide the best approach to build, maintain, and operate cost effective and environmentally sustainable facilities that meet the public's transportation needs. Staff will seek Commission approval of the manual during FY 2009/10.

Maximize opportunities for public use of rail -related investment. 150 Objectives: • Support transit operator efforts to expand availability and use of connecting transit in order to improve access and reduce demand on parking capacity. • Evaluate opportunities with the Commuter Assistance Program's park and ride operations for the designation of specific car/vanpool parking at commuter rail stations with available capacity. • Expand opportunities for interline travel through coordination of schedules with Amtrak intercity and long distance trains and other Metrolink lines, including encouraging joint ticketing options. Generate revenue to offset maintenance costs of rail properties. Objective: • Implement the concept of "green power" at the Metrolink stations by changing landscape materials to reduce water consumption. Department Budget Overview --Rail Development In order to expand passenger rail options throughout the County, the Commission conducts feasibility studies to assess the viability of commuter rail expansion. In 2005, the Commission completed the Commuter Rail Feasibility Study that examined the viability of extending Metrolink commuter rail service largely within existing rail rights of way. The Commission approved the study and recommended advanced study of extensions on the San Jacinto Branch Line (SJBL) to Hemet/San Jacinto and Murrieta/Temecula. The next phase of Alternative Analyses for these corridors will be pursued in future years as funding availability allows. San Jacinto Branch Line The Commission holds title to and manages the 38-mile SJBL and several adjacent properties, preserved for future passenger rail service. BNSF holds the freight rights in the corridor, providing service to local shippers, and performs maintenance on the line. Perris Valley Line Small Starts Project In June 2000, the Commission allocated $20 million of Measure A funds for capital and operating expenditures related to the implementation of passenger rail service on the initial operating segment of the SJBL, known as the Perris Valley Line. Project cost estimates total $169 million; however, such estimates are being reviewed and may be revised. Staff is seeking a project construction grant agreement from the FTA Small Starts Program to fund $75 million of the project cost with the balance to be funded by other federal, state, and local funding sources, as illustrated in Chart 38 and Table 75. The FFY 2008/09 appropriations bill included $45 million of the $75 million funding. • • • 151 " " " Details on this capital project are included in the Capital Project Development and Delivery section.

Department Budget Overview  Property Management Department Description In the process of acquiring real property for both rail and highway transportation purposes, the Commission strives to manage its real property with the objective of 160 maximizing existing and future public transportation benefits, safety, and income by means of professional property management policies and procedures. This includes issuing licenses and rights of entry for authorized third -party uses, as well as investigating and resolving issues regarding uses that are not authorized by the Commission. On certain occasions, the Commission may also grant easements. General maintenance activities and security measures are also part of the property management scope of work on all Commission -owned properties. The demolition and clearance of structures and other improvements on acquired property, excluding commuter rail stations, is included in the property management function. Additionally, the Commission must manage real property acquired for a project until it is required for construction. Since 1990, the Commission has acquired property assets in the course of rail and highway project implementation. To date, the rail properties number over 225 parcels. The Commission acquired approximately 500 parcels for the SR-74 widening project. In addition approximately 40 properties have been acquired for the Mid County Parkway, SR-79 realignment, Perris Valley Line, and the SR-60 HOV lanes/I-215 to Redlands Boulevard projects. These properties were acquired in fee, and some will be transferred primarily to Caltrans upon completion of the projects. Upon project completion, all remaining properties within every project are reassessed and deemed surplus when it has been determined that the continued retention of the property no longer supports the Commission's policy goals and objectives. Key Assumptions • Approximately ten properties will be acquired for various highway projects that contain structures requiring demolition and relocation of tenants. This number will substantially increase with the commencement of advance right of way acquisitions for the SR-91 corridor improvement project. • Approximately 40 applications for licenses and rights of entry will be received for processing. • Development of the property inventory database will continue, with significant enhancements to include document images, photographs, and geographic information. • Technological features of the RCTC Global Application (RGA), a project management database, will be enhanced to provide additional support to engineering, legal counsel, public outreach, and traditional property management functions.

To maintain and enhance, as resources allow, mobility options for seniors, persons with disabilities, and persons of limited means through innovative solutions and community interaction." Chart 42  Public and Specialized Transit Personnel 0% Expenditures Professional 0% Support 0% Projects and Operations 100�% Public and specialized transit expenditures are budgeted at $90,927,200 forFY 2009/10 and consist primarily of projects and operations costs; however, professional cost increases are related to state triennial audit services and legal services related to new funding agreements. Projects and operations costs have decreased 17.9% because of declining LTF sales tax revenues and the State's suspension of STA funding. LTF disbursements consist of transit operating and capital allocations of $69,030,000, bicycle and pedestrian facilities allocations of $1,200,000, and planning and administration allocations of $2,670,500. The LTF transit allocations reflect the use of $13,272,600 in fund balances. STA disbursements are primarily for bus and rail capital purposes in Western County, as minimal fund balances, if any, for the Coachella Valley and Palo Verde Valley areas are projected to be available in FY 2009/10. Measure A disbursements include $4,120,000 for Western County specialized transit funding of the first year of the two-year call for projects from 1989 Measure A. The majority of Measure A disbursements relate to 2009 Measure A public transit programs: $564,300 for Western County CTSA allocations, $4,260,000 for Coachella Valley public and specialized transit, and $1,354,000 for Western County intercity bus services. The Coachella Valley allocation is disbursed monthly to SunLine, the major transit provider in the Coachella Valley, and reflects a change in funding from 10% in the 1989 Measure A to 15% in the 2009 Measure A. 164 Table 79 - Public and Specialized Transit Expenditure Detail FY 07/08 FY 08109 FY 08/09 FY 09/10 Dollar Percent Actual Revised Budget Projected Budget Change Change Salaries and Benefits $ 265,700 $ 365,200 $ 257,800 $ 374,500 $ 9,300 2.5°% Professional Costs Legal Services 3,600 17,500 16,500 35,000 17,500 100.0°% Audit Services 5,400 10,000 6,000 70,000 60,000 600.0°% Professional Services -Other 107,900 257 400 150,000 237.80Q (19.6001 -7.6°% Total Professional Costs 116,900 284,900 172,500 342,800 57,900 20.3°% Support Costs 12,600 22,800 11,600 29,100 6,300 27.6% Projects and Operations LTF Disbursements 81,311,600 79,381,000 65,244,800 72,900,500 (6,480,500) -8.2°% STA Disbursements 1,200,400 22,928,000 13,775,600 6,962,000 (15,966,000) -69.6% Measure A Disbursements 5,537,700 7,470,400 4,651,800 10,298,300 2,827,900 37.9°% Special Studies 39,300 40,000 50,000 20,000 (20,000) 50.0°% Total Projects and Operations 88,089 000 109,819 400 83 722,200 90,180,800 (19,638,600) -17.9% TOTAL Transit $ 88.484 700 $ 110 492,300 $ 84 164 tQQ 6 90 927.20Q $ (19 565.1001 Public and Specialized Transit Staffing Summary Department Budget Overview Department Description The Measure A specialized transit program provides a valuable service to the community by serving the needs of commuters, such as seniors and persons with disabilities, whose transportation needs are not met by traditional services. Specialized transit operations are typically managed by social service and nonprofit agencies. The Commission also allocates funding, following a competitive call for projects, through the FTA Section 5310 program that is administered by Caltrans. This program provides funding to nonprofit transportation and social service agencies and public operators under special circumstances for the purchase of capital equipment. • 165 " " " With the passage of SAFETEA-LU, the following are two relatively new federal funding sources for specialized transit services: " Jobs Access Reverse Commute (JARC) (Section 5316) program provides funding for the development and maintenance of jobs access projects to transport welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from work during non -peak hours as well as supply reverse commute options for workers in suburban areas. " New Freedom (Section 5317) program provides funding for new public transportation services and alternatives for people with disabilities beyond the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. In accordance with the provisions of SAFETEA-LU, recipients under these programs must comply with all federal coordinated planning requirements to be eligible for funds, and projects selected for funding under these programs must be originate from a locally derived Coordinated Plan. Moreover, the Coordinated Plan must be developed through a process that includes representatives of the public, private, nonprofit transportation and human service providers. Development of the Coordinated Plan was completed in April 2008, and the first Universal Call for Projects was issued shortly thereafter. The related evaluation process and approval of Measure A and JARC/New Freedom grant awards were completed in September and October 2008 for the Coachella Valley and Western County applicants, respectively. Projects are set to begin the provision of service on July 1, 2009. The Commission is responsible for short-range transportation planning and programming. Planning includes the development of the countywide SRTPs for eight public transit operators consisting of the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Corona, and Riverside; SCRRA's Metrolink cornmuter rail; Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency; RTA; and SunLine. The Commission assists in coordinating the development, review, and approval of the annual countywide SRTPs and allocates Measure A, LTF, STA, and FTA Section 5307, 5309, 5311, 5316, and 5317 transit funding resources to public transit programs. The Commission is responsible for the disbursement of Measure A, LTF, and STA funds, while federal transit funds are administered by the FTA. In partnership with the County's transit operators, the Commission coordinates the allocation of available Proposition 1 B transit funding and ensures proposed projects meet the mobility needs of the County. Proposition 1 B funds are annually appropriated by the legislature and used for transit related capital purchases or infrastructure/facility improvements. The Riverside County operators applied for Proposition 1B funds; however, due to the state's ongoing financial crisis and inability to issue bonds, the release of funds is currently on hold. The Commission has public transit operator oversight and fiduciary responsibilities to ensure that annual fiscal audits and a state triennial performance audit are conducted. The Commission is also charged with annually reviewing public transit operator activities and recommending potential productivity improvements to lower operating costs. The Commission also conducts the annual unmet transit needs hearing in the Palo Verde Valley. Additionally, in order to ensure that specialized transit allocations are 166 expended and required service goals are met in accordance with funding agreements, the Commission engages an audit firm to perform certain agreed -upon procedures for the specialized transit funding recipients. Key Assumptions • Specific funding allocations for specialized transit for FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/11 will be based on the results of the two-year Universal Call for Projects released in April 2008 and completed in October 2008. • LTF, STA, and Measure A disbursements are based on projected budgetary allocations but may be adjusted after the Commission has approved actual allocations in July 2009. • Declining LTF revenues will require streamlining operating expenses by all operators while maintaining efficiency and quality of service. • Transit Vision, adopted by the Commission in June 2008, established a 25% allocation of Measure A Western County Specialized Transit funds to the RTA as the CTSA for Western County. Accomplishments • Completed the application evaluation, funding award, and contract agreement execution processes for successful recipients of Measure A, JARC, and New Freedom funding under the Universal Call for Projects. • Secured Commission authorization to provide interim funding of $1.7 million for one year to 13 Measure A Western County Specialized Transit recipients to continue Measure A funding at the FY 2007/08 level. The extended term allowed uninterrupted service for FY 2008/09, while funding awards and agreements related to the Universal Call of Projects were prepared in accordance with federal grant requirements. • Completed the local review and project ranking process for the FY 2007/08 FTA Section 5310 applications submitted to Caltrans for the statewide application. Projects are derived from a locally developed Coordinated Plan. • Incorporated FY 2007/08 Proposition 1B Public Transportation, Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) funds with transit capital funding sources following Caitrans' release of program funding and guidelines. • Approved allocation of Proposition 1 B California Transit Security Grant Program — California Transit Assistance Funds (CTSGP-CTAF) for eligible transit safety and security projects identified by transit operators following release of program funding and guidelines by the Governor's Office of Homeland Security. • Adopted the Transit Vision and related funding formulas for the TDA and Measure A funds for 2009-2019. • Identified the development of a mobility management program through the transit visioning process. • • 167 " " Major Initiatives For 20 years, the Commission has long demonstrated a strong commitment to assist in the mobility of those with specialized transit needs. Through its 1989 Measure A Specialized Transit Program, the Commission has provided millions of dollars to public and nonprofit transit operators for the provision of special transit services to improve the mobility of seniors and persons with disabilities. Along with support of traditional dial -a - ride services, the Commission supports innovative programs that provide transit assistance in hard to serve rural areas or for riders having very special transit needs. The riders, many frail and elderly, have come to depend on these services that provide a higher level of assistance than can be provided by the public transit providers and/or operate in areas not served by public transit. As a result of the 2009 Measure A, these specialized transit programs will continue through 2039. In July 2009, 17 programs in Western County and 5 programs in Coachella Valley will commence specialized transit services under the Universal Call of Projects, including the non -emergency medical transportation component. Nine of these projects will be fully funded with Measure A funds, while the other 13 projects will be funded by a mix of Measure A, JARC, and New Freedom funds. As identified in the Coordinated Plan, the specialized transit projects approved for funding will require implementation and yearlong performance monitoring. In order to assure the availability of funds to support matching of FTA Section 5310 capital grants, $150,000 on an annual basis is budgeted for Western County applicants to meet the 11.47% local matching requirements for such grants. As a result of declining LTF and Measure A revenues, staff will be conducting long- range planning activities to ensure that anticipated revenues are in line with projected levels of service by the various public transit operators. Department Goals Provide timely information to the public regarding Commission -implemented projects and support public relations activities of Measure A, JARC, and New Freedom funded programs by grant recipients. Objective: " Produce and distribute public information materials as needed including press releases, flyers, brochures, marketing materials, and newspaper ads. Allocate Measure A Specialized Transit and federal funds to support services that will maintain and/or enhance mobility by alleviating transportation barriers for seniors, persons with disabilities, and the truly needy. Objectives: " Monitor performance of specialized transit grant recipients through analysis of their quarterly performance reports. 168 " Continue discussions with the Office on Aging and United Way to encourage funding of transportation projects through these agencies. Assistance to screen eligible transportation programs and monitoring the cost effectiveness of these proposals will continue to be offered to both agencies. " Support the FTA Section 5310, 5316 and 5317 grant processes to improve mobility for seniors, persons with disabilities and individuals of limited means by working with Caltrans, public operators, and social service agencies to ensure a competitive process statewide for the allocation of federal transportation dollars for social service programs. " Provide technical assistance and program support to agencies offering specialized transit programs to ensure the maximum benefit of funding for improved mobility for seniors, persons with disabilities, and individuals of limited means. Coordinate the operation of all public transportation services within the County with a goal toward promoting program efficiency and harmony between transit operators as outlined in state law. Objectives: " Review transit planning, resource allocation, and service implementation policy requirements including appropriate coordination of commuter rail, intercounty and intercity bus, local bus and paratransit, and social service transportation services to ensure convenient service for passengers. " Assure the ongoing effectiveness of the SRTP process and work with the County's eight transit operators to assure efficiency and effectiveness as well as compliance with the PIP. " Coordinate regional transit connections among commuter rail, buses, and paratransit services to ensure convenient service for passengers. " Monitor transit operators' quarterly capital grants reports. " Monitor transit operators' performance through analysis of their quarterly performance reports using the TransTrack computer -based tracking program. Continue to provide staff resources to assist and support the coordination of transit services within the County and throughout the State. Objectives: " Implement mobility management countywide. " Participate and influence intercounty discussions between Riverside, Orange, and San Diego regarding the enhancement of intermodal options. This includes additional transit services (rail and express bus) and rideshare services. " Regularly participate in meetings that focus on the coordination of transit services, such as the California Association for Coordinated Transportation, SunLine's Access Committee, RTA's ADA Committee, the Riverside County Foundation on Aging Board of Directors, the Older Californian Traffic Safety Task Force, and the Commission's Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Service Transportation Advisory Council. " " 169 " Continue the development of a marketing and distribution network for communicating specialized transit mobility options to seniors, the disabled, and persons of limited means.

To help foster more efficient use of these systems, the Commission's Commuter Assistance Program seeks to encourage Riverside County constituents/commuters to make a mode -shift decision away from single occupancy vehicle commuting and into alternative modes of transportation such as a carpool, vanpool, buspool, public bus, Metrolink, walking, bicycling, or telecommuting. 172 " " " The Commuter Assistance Program seeks to influence driver behavior by fostering a mode -shifting decision at both the employer and commuter levels via the following methods: " The provision of employer services to foster the implementation of employer - based mode -shift and rideshare programs; " The use of incentives both for beginning and then maintaining a mode- shift/rideshare arrangement; and " Public information services including the dissemination of personalized commute options and traveler information through technology in order to educate commuters of all travel options available to them and to foster congestion avoidance behavior when traveling. The Commission's Commuter Assistance Program was implemented as a specific requirement under Measure A to address congestion mitigation. While ridesharing has a beneficial impact on air quality, first and foremost, it is a strategy to ease traffic congestion through increased use of alternative travel modes of transportation. Key Assumptions " The Commission will continue to contract with a consulting firm to administer the Commuter Assistance Program " Maintaining its long-term partnership with the Commission, SANBAG will contract with the Commission to manage and implement a "sister" Commuter Assistance Program for its residents and employers in San Bernardino County. " In partnership with SANBAG, the Commission will develop, maintain, and operate an Inland Empire 511 system in accordance with national 511 implementation standards. " At the regional level, four county transportation commissions (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Ventura) will contract with the Commission for the provision of regional ridematching database and network operations. Accomplishments " Placed the contract for the implementation of the Commuter Assistance program out to bid via a request for proposal process to ensure transparency on both performance and cost effectiveness with respect to the funding of the Commuter Assistance Program. The new contract is effective at the beginning of FY 2009/10. " Funded the installation of approximately 75 radar detection stations on the 1-15 and I- 215 corridors (covering 63 miles of freeway) to the San Diego County line. These detection stations are intended to support an increased traveler information service area for Western County including information contained on the live traffic maps published on www.CommuteSmart.info, 511, and private sector providers. This effort will also result in the provision of live travel times into and out of the Temecula Valley on Caltrans District 8 changeable message signs. This project was substantially completed in May 2009. " Developed and launched a report card program for both program participants and 173 employer partners which translates individual or worksite rideshare participation into money saved, congestion reduced, and emissions reduced. This outreach is intended to recognize rideshare efforts and to motivate participants to continue ridesharing and/or grow employer program participation. • Secured JARC funds to extend the availability of rideshare services to employers in the Coachella Valley for an additional two years. The Air Quality Enhancement grant funding the project sunsets at the end of FY 2008/09. • Continued to operate, maintain, and enhance the regional ridematching database and the regional rideshare website, www.CommuteSmart.info, on behalf of the five -county region. • Continued work on the enhancement of and integration of the dormant MSRC Bike Metro website. • Continued development of on-line services and tools for employer partners and end user commuters • Continued use of the Program Measurement Tool to evaluate program performance. • Renewed leases for park and ride facilities with the following locations: Canyon Community Church of the Nazarene (Corona), Elsinore Naval Military School (Lake Elsinore), La Sierra University (Riverside), Living Truth Christian Fellowship (Corona), Revival Christian Fellowship (Menifee), Hope Lutheran Church (Temecula), and the United Methodist Church (Temecula). • Worked in partnership with the Rail Department to develop a section of park and ride spaces in the city of Riverside at the La Sierra Metrolink station. • Secured new park and ride lease arrangements with the following locations: Mountain View Community Church (Temecula), Orchard Christian Fellowship (Temecula), West Community Friends Church (Corona), and San Jacinto Assembly of God (San Jacinto). • Established, in concept, a long-term arrangement with the Storm Baseball stadium for a park and ride facility in the city of Lake Elsinore to support carivanpools and a popular RTA CommuterLink service to the North Main Corona Metrolink station. Major Initiatives A cornerstone of the Commuter Assistance Program is its continued partnership among commuters, employers, and government. The partnership, based on voluntary efforts, makes a collective difference in increasing the efficiency of our transportation system — local roads, freeways, commuter rail, and public bus. The combined effort results in less congestion, decreased vehicle miles traveled, and improved air quality. The major initiatives to continue these partnerships and efforts in FY 2009/10 are described below. Grow Employer Partnerships: Given that the highest percentage of rideshare arrangements is formed at work sites, voluntary employer participation is critical to addressing congestion and air quality goals; employers are the conduit to directly influencing their employees' personal transportation choices. The ongoing success of the core Western County rideshare program and the explosive success of the two year old Coachella Valley rideshare program demonstration is a testament to the significance of employer partnerships in the program's success. However, the current economic • • 174 " " " downtum will pose challenges in terms of maintaining and/or growing these partnerships. Employer Transportation Coordinators (ETC) are having to do more with less, and many employers previously regulated to meet Rule 2202 requirements are falling below the 250+ employee threshold. Delivery of value-added services and tools to make the ETC jobs easier will be critical to their continued partnership. Enhance Program Tools and Outreach: The Commission is continuously looking for ways to improve the suite of services and outreach to both our program participants and employer partners to foster partnerships and participation. Through a grant -funded work effort, Rideguides distributed to commuters will be refreshed and reprogrammed to include personalized transit itineraries in addition to custom car/vanpool matches and park and ride information. An electronic Rideguide will also be available as part of this work effort. Finally, the continued development and launch of on-line transactions for employers and end user commuters will be a focus for FY 2009/10. Not only are these online initiatives a value -add for users, these initiatives will allow for more efficient processing and save on paper costs. Implement Inland Empire 511: 511 is an unfunded federal mandate arising out of TEA21 and SAFETEA-LU, and it requires that real-time or near real-time traffic and traveler information be provided to the public. The Commission has been highly involved in the regional decision for the implementation of 511 and the dissemination of Advanced Traveler Information services. The Commission will deliver, maintain, and operate an Inland Empire 511 system working in partnership with SANBAG. This system will include a website and call center component that serves Riverside and San Bernardino County residents and commuters with traveler information, a transit planner, access to rideshare services, and more. While the Commuter Assistance Program will fund the implementation costs of the Inland Empire 511 system, SAFE will fund the annual operating costs. Support Multimodal Travel: In addition to ridematching, information services, and incentives to facilitate ridesharing, the Commuter Assistance Program also implements park and ride facilities to support ridesharing efforts. The last Caltrans park and ride facility in Riverside County was built in 1999. The Commission leases park and ride spaces from property owners to supplement the network of park and ride spaces in Riverside County. A focus for FY 2009/10 will be to optimize the number of spaces leased and coordinate with ridesharers and transit and rail partners to identify areas where the lease program can help support car/vanpool arrangements as well as facilitate transit connections. Commuter Assistance Program funding of a parking expansion project at the La Sierra station, where there is an identified gap in park and ride service, would benefit both car/vanpoolers and popular RTA transit routes. Department Goals Operate a cost-effective Commuter Assistance Program within Riverside County that results in a demonstrable reduction in single occupant vehicle trips thus assisting with congestion mitigation and improving air quality. 175 Objectives: • Continue to offer short-term incentives for commuters to try a transportation mode other than driving alone. • Continue to provide a rewards program for long-term ridesharers to encourage their continued use of alternative modes of transportation. • Ensure the effectiveness of the Commuter Assistance Program through program analysis and recurring assessments of participation and retention of ridesharers. Through the implementation of the Program Measurement Tool, the Commission will continue to look for ways to pare program costs without impacting service delivery or participation. • Continue the mode-shift/rideshare incentive and services to the Coachella Valley. • Continue to explore, deploy, and enhance a basic suite of on-line services to employer partners to make the administration of a trip reduction program an easier task. • Deploy and enhance a basic suite of on-line services on a demonstration basis to end user commuters to achieve deeper market penetration and cover those people interested in taking alternative commute modes but who are not affiliated with an employer partner. • Optimize the number of park and ride spaces leased and address park and ride gaps in the system. Ensure the coordination of ridesharing programs throughout the Inland Empire and the southern California region.

The call box system allows motorists to call for assistance in the event of a mechanical breakdown or accident on the freeway. The FSP assists stranded motorists on certain segments of the freeway by towing, changing flat tires, and providing a gallon of fuel at no charge to the motorists. FSP service is also provided in construction zones through separate funding agreements with Caltrans to help mitigate congestion. Additionally commencing in FY 2009/10, in partnership with SANBAG through the Commission's SAFE program, an Inland Empire 511 system to provide motorists with traveler information will be operated and maintained. 180 " " " Key Assumptions " Current percentage levels of vandalism, knockdowns, and miscellaneous repairs to call boxes will remain consistent with the past year. " Annual maintenance costs are based on a flat -fee contract based on the number of call boxes. " Call box operating costs are based on estimates from the CHP and the call answering center contract through SANBAG. " Cellular service charges are based on the existing five-year agreement for digital cellular service. " Tow truck contractor costs for the nine existing FSP beats are based on Commission -approved contracts. " The Commission will maintain and operate an Inland Empire 511 system to be funded 50% by the Commission and 50% by SANBAG. The Commission's share of operating costs will be funded with SAFE revenues while implementation costs will be funded by the Commuter Assistance Program. Accomplishments " Completed the implementation of recommendations identified in the Riverside County SAFE 5-Year Plan. " Worked with the County of Riverside IT Department on the Federal Communications Commission Regulated Radio Narrowband conversion. " Expanded FSP service on 1-15 by working with the CHP and Caltrans to identify and justify the need for additional FSP vehicles, issued a request for proposal for the new Beat #2, and awarded a contract for service. " Along with SANBAG, conducted an informational meeting for prospective FSP tow operators to explain the program, its benefits to both the motorists and operators, and what is required of the tow operators. " Implemented a "cost recovery" program for call box knockdowns in an effort to collect reimbursement from motorists involved in accidents that damage Commission property. Major Initiatives Staff will complete the implementation of the AVL system for the tow trucks. All of the FSP vehicles and drivers will be fully equipped by early FY 2009/10. Staff will also continue to meet with County IT Department staff regarding the radio narrowband conversion. The Commission, along with its partner, SANBAG, has been committed to operate and maintain an Inland Empire 511 system beginning in FY 2009/10_ This system will include a website interface and an interactive voice recognition (IVR) telephone system that serve Riverside and San Bernardino county residents and commuters. The Inland Empire 511 system will provide real-time traffic and transit trip planning services as well 181 as access to rideshare services for the entire Southern California region extending to the Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico borders. Department Goals Maintain the integrity of the call box system and service levels. Objective: • Along with San Bernardino County SAFE, continue to monitor the operation of the call answering center contractor. Enhance access to real-time traveler information. Objective: • Create the Inland Empire 511 website and telephone systems supporting the Inland Empire 511 system. • Leverage existing resources such as traffic data provided by Caltrans District 8, existing IVR software, and Google Transit to minimize the start-up period and costs. Continue the Freeway Service Patrol as long as state funding support is available. Objectives: • Work cooperatively with the County IT Department to address radio needs of the program especially along the 1-15 corridor. • Consult with Caltrans and the CHP to evaluate existing beats and determine if changes in service hours, number of vehicles assigned to each beat, or expanded service hours are justified, should additional funding become available. • Review proposed construction projects with Caltrans and local cities and coordinate the use of temporary tow service to mitigate congestion. • Work cooperatively with Caltrans, the CHP, and other FSP program managers to gain increased funding for the program and review the funding allocation formula to attain a more equitable distribution of program funds. • Complete the implementation of the AVL system.

The delivery of a capital project can include tasks such as feasibility studies, preliminary engineering, environmental clearance, final design, right of way acquisition, construction, and construction. management. Approximately 57% of the Commission's FY 2009/10 budget originates in this department managed by the Toll, Project Delivery, and Project Development Directors responsible for the capital program. The primary goal of Capital Projects is to accelerate delivery of the Measure A; Proposition 1B CMIA, PTMISEA, and CTSGP-CTAF; STIP; toll; and federally funded highway, regional arterial, and rail capital improvement projects throughout the County. Highway improvements currently in progress include the addition of carpool lanes and tolled Express Lanes, widening and realignment projects, and interchange improvements as well as planning for new CETAP corridors. Regional arterial capital improvements include funding for Western County TUMF regional arterial projects, which were approved by the Commission in 2004 as a result of a call for projects. Commuter rail capital improvements include the completion of the North Main Corona parking structure, the Perris Valley Line, a multimodal facility in the city of Perris, and the La Sierra station parking expansion in addition to station rehabilitation and security projects. This department also provides the necessary coordination between the Commission and Caltrans for the development of scope, cost, and project delivery schedules for Measure A projects that are funded by the STIP and Proposition 1 B CMIA. Capital Projects also has lead agency status over certain demonstration projects identified in SAFETEA-LU. The 2009 Measure A program includes stipulations for agencies in Western County to be eligible to receive the new Measure A local streets and roads funds beginning in 2009. Each incorporated city in Western County and the County must participate in the TUMF program, which is administered by WRCOG. Additional requirements include participation in the Western County MSHCP, submittal of an annual capital improvement program, and meeting an annual MOE requirement. The Commission and WRCOG entered into an amended MOU which identifies a distribution of the TUMF revenues prior to the 2009 Measure A which commences in July 2009. The distribution, after deduction of a WRCOG administrative fee, is 48.7% to the Commission for regional arterials and CETAP corridors. The remaining revenues are distributed to WRCOG for the five TUMF improvement zones and for regional transit facilities. Given the staff support required to oversee and participate in the project development work, consisting of preliminary engineering and right of way activities, final design, and construction for the capital projects, costs for staff and related support have been included in this department budget. The projects identified in the FY 2009/10 budget funded by Measure A, TUMF, state, or federal funds as well as future toll revenues require the continued support of the Bechtel program management team which includes • • • 187 " " " program managers, project engineers, construction engineers, inspectors, contracts administration, and support staff. Since the passage of SB 45 in 1997, the Commission is responsible for STIP-RIP fund programming and project delivery in partnership with Caltrans and the CTC. Additionally, the Commission may also be responsible for project delivery of federal demonstration projects. Long -Term Strategic Planning A significant effort was completed in December 2006 to develop an implementation plan strategy for the 2009 Measure A state highway program, with a focus on the first 10 years of the program through 2019. An objective -based assessment of the Western County portion of the 2009 Measure A TIP was completed along with the prioritization of the program of projects. Four highway corridors, 1-215, 1-15, 1-10, and SR-91, were selected as the priority focus for the first 10 years of the 2009 Measure A program, and long-term development work was approved for large scale projects such as the development of the Mid County Parkway, realignment of SR-79, and the bicounty widening of 1-215 to San Bernardino County. Project development activities for these projects have been ongoing. Key Assumptions " The Commission will continue its emphasis on the closeout of the 1989 Measure A program. " The 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan serves as the basis for defining the 2009 Measure A project selection and prioritization. " Western County TUMF regional arterial project costs are based on the list of projects approved by the Commission in 2004. " Agreements for the advancement of 2009 Measure A funds have been obtained from CVAG and cities desiring to participate in the commercial paper program. " Highway project costs are based on engineers' estimates and scope agreements with Caltrans. " Construction projects are competitively bid to minimize costs. " All projects will be built to required standards. " All highway projects, with the exception of tolled Express Lane facilities, are transferred upon completion to Caltrans; operation of these facilities is the responsibility of Caltrans. Tolled Express Lane facilities, when completed, will be owned and operated and maintained by the Commission through the term of a future agreement between Caltrans and the Commission. " 2009 Measure A regional arterial projects will be selected and programmed once the impact of the FY 2009/10 state budget and federal highway trust fund deficit concerns are resolved. 188 " Accomplishments " Continued implementation of the 10-Year Delivery Plan for the Western County Highway Program. " Completed 60% of final design and began right of way acquisitions and utility relocations for the SR-91 HOV lanes project through Riverside from Adams Street to the SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange. " Completed final design and began right of way acquisition for the I-215/SR-60 East Junction HOV lane connectors project. " Completed the project report and environmental process and began final design and right of way acquisition for the SR-74/G Street to 1-215 interchange project. " Continued successful negotiations with the FTA related to the Small Starts funding authorization for the Perris Valley Line.

" Began design of SR-74 curve widening project. " Obtained state tolling authority for the SR-91 and 1-15 corridor improvement projects and also began application and agreement processes with FHWA regarding federal tolling authority for these toll projects. Federal tolling authority for the Commission is expected in early FY 2009/10. " Commenced a procurement for a project and construction manager for the design - build phase of the SR-91 corridor improvements. " Completed TUMF project agreements and amendments to implement pre - construction activities. Major Initiatives FY 2009/10 will mark a significant milestone as the Commission closes out the 1989 Measure A programs and formally commences the 2009 Measure A programs, of which the highway, rail, regional arterial, and local streets and roads programs represent the majority of the funding allocations. While most of the 1989 Measure A highway projects have been completed, a few projects will continue such as the SR-91 HOV lanes from Adams Street to SR-60/SR-91/1-215 interchange, SR-74 curve widening, I-215/SR-60 " " " 189 " " " East Junction HOV lane connectors, SR-91 interchange improvements at La Sierra Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard, and SR-60 at Valley Way. The 1-215 bicounty highway and Perris Valley Line rail projects will continue, as both are also included in the 2009 Measure A. Various stages of project development work for projects included in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan will continue in FY 2009/10. Implementation of tolling facilities within the SR-91 and 1-15 corridors, two major projects in the 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan, requires obtaining tolling authority from state and federal jurisdictions. Efforts to obtain this authority include successful passage of state legislation, approval of state and federal tolling authority applications, and administrative approval from Caltrans and FHWA. In September 2008, SB 1316 and AB 1954 were successfully passed and signed into law by the Governor which provides state tolling authority. Federal tolling authority is expected for both corridors by early FY 2009/10. The Commission disburses Measure A local streets and roads funds directly to the cities and County for their use. The budgeted amount is set by formula established in the Measure A TIP. Local jurisdictions will receive $35,908,900 for local streets and roads maintenance, repair, and construction. Each jurisdiction's respective allocation is based on population (Western County and Palo Verde Valley) or dwelling unit (Coachella Valley) and the amount of sales tax generated. La Quinta is the only city in the Coachella Valley which does not participate in the Coachella Valley TUMF Program. Accordingly, La Quinta's Measure A allocation is remitted to CVAG in lieu of the TUMF. Agreements have been executed with CVAG and two cities, Indio and Blythe, to advance acceleration of 2009 Measure A regional arterial or focal streets and roads revenues through participation in the commercial paper program. The annual principal and interest payments for these loans will be deducted by the Commission from each agency's respective disbursements based on the terms of the loan agreements. Detailed descriptions of the capital projects, including local streets and roads funding, that are included in the FY 2009/10 budget follows the Performance/Workload Indicators. Department Goals Build upon and strengthen the partnership with Caltrans toward timely delivery of identified Measure A, CMIA, toll program, and STIP projects.

Riverside County can trace its beginning back to 1893 when voters approved the formation of a new county. The area was carved from parts of San Bemardino and San Diego counties. In its 115 years of existence, the County's economy has diversified and prospered. Originally, Riverside County was a very agricultural area, known for a wide variety of crops grown on its fertile soils. The County remains a strong agricultural area, but it is increasingly becoming a leader in manufacturing, transportation, construction, and tourism. The success of the area has brought dramatic population growth to Riverside County (Chart 46). Since the 1980's, the County has been one of the fastest growing counties in the state. The available and affordable housing in Riverside County has attracted many people to the County; however, a housing slowdown has occurred in recent years primarily as a result of the effect of the subprime mortgages and the ensuing credit crisis (Chart 47). During the growth period, jobs also increased as many firms relocate to the area and move away from older communities; however, the current economic slowdown has caused the County's unemployment rate to edge up from its near all-time lows (Chart 48). The overall economic outlook for Riverside County is expected to improve by 2011 based on various economic forecasts. The area is preparing for its future as well in supporting better education. The County is home to a number of colleges and universities including UC Riverside.

The prior years' increases in retail sales had a positive effect on the sales tax receipts generated in the County, which has a 7.75% sales tax rate including the Measure A rate (Table 85). The taxable sales generation by jurisdiction in the County is presented in Table 86. • • • 210 " " " Chart 49  Retail Sales (%) - $29.8 Billion  2006 Data Apparel Stores 4% Specialty Stores Other Services & 8% Outlets Food Stores 27�/n r, 4% Other Reta4 Stores 3�% Automotive 23�% General Merchandise 12% Building Material 8% Eating & Drinking 8% Table 84  Sources of County of Riverside Taxable Sales by Business Type (in 000's) 2006t 2005 2004 2003 2002 Apparel stores $1,080,385 $990,129 $867276 $746,015 $610,388 General merchandise 3,553,554 3,304,474 3,026,335 2,671,971 2,459,046 Specialty stores 2,262,442 2,104,040 1,885,435 1,649,224 1,501,106 Food stores 1,309,782 1,197,438 1,079,972 1,028,392 967,171 Eating and drinking 2,316,422 2,157,801 1,940,610 1,713,632 1,559,215 Household 948,217 964,629 862,551 691,051 594,049 Building materials 2,390,236 2,424,898 2,226,117 1,678,347 1,427,831 Automotive 6,956,756 6,751,648 6,035,203 5,198,391 4,563,779 Miscellaneous 1,024,551 944,155 792,450 653,929 568,148 Total all other outlets 7,973,892 7,417,279 6,521,199 5,678,183 5,248,261 $29,816,237 $28,256,491 $25,237,148 $21,709135 $19,498,994 Source: State Board of Equalization Year represents most recent data available.

Matching ratios range from 50/50 to 80% federal and 20% local. Section 5307 formula funds made available to urbanized areas for operating subsidies, capital projects and planning. Operating match is up to 50% of the net operating cost; capital and planning match is 80% federal and 20% local. Section 5310 funds made available to states for providing capital support to private non-profit and, in certain circumstances, public transit operators. This is a state administered discretionary program providing funds on an 88.53% federal and 11.47% local basis. Section 5311 funds provided to support rural transit operating subsidies and capital projects. Operating match is up to 50% of the net operating cost; capital match is 80% federal and 20%a local. Section 5316 funds provided for the development and maintenance of jobs access projects to transport welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from work during non -peak hours as well as supply reverse commute options for workers in suburban areas. Section 5317 funds made available for new public transportation services and alternatives for people with disabilities beyond the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) In 1991, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) was approved by Congress to replace the former Federal Aid Urban/Federal Aid System funding programs. ISTEA was established as a six -year funding program and was reauthorized for another six years in 1997. This new transportation act was renamed as the Transportation Equity Act of the Twenty-first Century (TEA21) and was extended through August 10, 2005 when the President signed into law the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFEtEA-LU). With guaranteed funding for highways, highway safety, and public transportation totaling S244.1 billion, SAhEILA-LU represents the largest surface transportation investment in our nation's history. Under these programs the following fund sources are allocated to each county, and the Commission further allocates these funds based on federal provisions. Surface Transportation Program (STP) Funds allocated by the Commission and administered by Caltrans that provide funding for local street and road improvements. Current matching rate is 88.53% federal and 11.47% local. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Funds allocated by the Commission for transportation related air quality improvement projects in air quality non - attainment areas. Current matching rate is 88.53�% federal and 11.47% local. Safety projects can qualify for 100%n of CMAQ funding. Transportation Enhancements (TE) The amount of funds made available under this program is 10% of the state apportionment of STP funds. Projects are qualified and prioritized by the Commission and submitted to the Califomia Transportation Commission for inclusion in the State Transportation Improvement Program. The basic definition of a transportation enhancement project is an improvement that is over and above the base transportation project. Project categories are pedestrian and bicycle facilities, scenic or historic highways, scenic beautification, historic preservation, rehabilitation of historic transportation facilities, preservation of abandoned railway corridors, control/removal of outdoor advertising, archaeological planning and research, and mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff. Current matching rate is 88.53% federal and 11.47% local. State and Local Fund Sources State Transportation Improvement Program 217 The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) consists of Regional Improvement Program (RIP) and Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds. The RIP and IIP programs are mainly supported by Proposition 42 funding. The RIP component represents 75% of STIP funds available for capacity projects- Regional Transportation Planning Agencies are responsible for selection of projects proposed for RIP funds. The IIP component represents the remaining 25% of STIP funds available for capacity projects and Caltrans is responsible for the selection of I1P-funded projects. The Commission and Caltrans District 8 work closely in coordinating projects for these fund sources. Proposition 1 B Program In November 2006, the voters in California approved Proposition 1B, which will fund various transportation programs from bonds issued by the state of Califomia. Programs to be funded include corridor mobility improvements (CM1A), transit capital (PTMISEA), STIP supplement, goods movement (TCIF), state -local partnership funds, and cities and counties. Transportation Development Act (TDA) The TDA is comprised of two elements: Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA) funds. LTF funds are derived from 1/4 of one cent of the state sales tax and are returned to source. There are three areas of apportionment within Riverside County comprised of Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley (Blythe). The Commission administers the LTF on behalf of the County of Riverside. Funds are provided for program administration, Southern California Association of Govemments regional planning, local transportation planning, and transit services in Western County and the Coachella Valley. In the Palo Verde Valley, funds support transit services and local street and road improvements. Funds are also provided to the County for local street and road improvements in unincorporated areas. Additionally, under SB 821, 2% of LTF funds are made available for bicycle and pedestrian projects. STA funds are generated from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel and are allocated by the state to the Commission based on population and as a percentage of transit fare revenue. The Commission has generally used these funds to support capital purchases and improvements as these funds have been subject to state budgetary actions. Measure A Measure A is a half -cent local retail transaction and use tax that was initially approved by the voters in November 1988 for 20 years (Ordinance 88-1) and extended in November 2002 for an additional 30 years (Ordinance 02-001), through June 2039, to help fund key transportation improvements in Riverside County. It provides funds to improve highways and local roadways, to initiate commuter rail services on existing tracks, to expand dial -a -ride services and commuter programs, and to guarantee half-price bus fares for seniors and persons with disabilities. These types of improvements are needed to control traffic, increase safety, and maintain the quality of life within the County. Since existing state and federal sources provide only a limited amount of funding for a limited number of projects, Measure A will cover the shortfall for key projects with a funding source that is under local control. It will use the revenue generated in Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde Valley to meet the unique transportation needs of each of those areas. Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program was adopted by all local jurisdictions in the western county area of Riverside County in July 2003. Under this program, which is administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), fees are assessed on new residential and commercial development in western Riverside County to ensure that new development pays its fair share toward providing the needed infrastructure improvements on the regional system of highways and arterials. In accordance with the extension of Measure A in 2002, the Commission shall receive the first $400 million of TUMF revenues to fund equally the regional arterial system and the development of new corridors. As a result of a Memorandum of Understanding with WRCOG, the Commission will receive 48.7% of TUMF through June 30, 2009, and, in accordance with the extension of Measure A, thereafter at 100%, after deduction of an administrative fee, up to an aggregate of $400 million. An amendment to lift the $400 million cap has been proposed and will be presented for approval in FY 2008/09. Program Terms The following explanations of terms are presented to aid in understanding the various program terms used and discussed in the narrative and generally used in outlining the Commission's functions for auditing, governmental accountine, financial reporting and budgeting. Transportation Improvement Plan • • 218 " " This plan also acts as the County's expenditure plan and was prepared by the Commission for the proposed 1/2% local retail transaction and use tax for transportation purposes to be collected. This was proposed by the Commnission as a means to fill the funding shortfall to implement needed highway, regional arterial, and commuter rail projects; local street and road programs; and transit improvements for seniors and disabled persons. Highways Measure A provides revenues to widen existing highways, expand interchanges, and improve remote freeways. These improvements are needed to control traffic congestion in Western County and improve access and safety in Coachella Valley. Costs of these improvements will be covered by funds from state and federal sources. Measure A revenue will be used to supplement  not replace --these other sources and to accelerate work on projects deferred for lack of funding. Commuter Rail Measure A provides capital revenue for commuter rail service to Orange and Los Angeles counties. LTF provides revenue for commuter rail operations in Riverside County. These trains operate on existing railroad tracks parallel to major freeways. Commuter rail service provides a safe and reliable transit alternative to driving alone during the peak period. Plans to expand commuter rail service in western Riverside County from Riverside to Perris via Moreno Valley are currently underway. Metrolink The Commission's commuter rail program is part of the regional network operated by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) operating under the name of Metrolink, a five -county joint powers agency composed of the transportation commissions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, and Ventura. The purpose of this agency is to manage the operation and maintenance of commuter rail in the five -county metropolitan area. Regional Arterials Fifty-five percent of the Measure A funds generated within the Coachella Valley is used for state highways and major regional road projects. The Coachella Valley area is served by few state highways. The regional arterial system developed through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments functions much like state highways to address future needs for the area. The system is to be implemented with a mix of funding required from new development under a Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fee to be paid by developers from new development and from Measure A funds returned to the Coachella Valley area. The Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fee schedule shall be established in order to generate at least the equivalent of Measure A funding toward the regional arterial system. Local Streets and Roads Measure A provides revenues to local jurisdictions for the construction, repair, and maintenance of local streets and roads. The County and local cities are required to supplement those expenditures with other previously dedicated revenue sources to maintain road improvements at a level equal to or greater than the base year amount (fiscal year 1987/88). LTF provides revenue for local street and road improvements in the Palo Verde Valley and unincorporated areas of the County. Specialized Transit Measure A provides revenues to improve transportation services for seniors, persons with disabilities and commuters. For seniors and persons with disabilities, it provides dial -a -ride cab service at night for emergency purposes, guarantees half-price bus fares, and assists centers with their transit programs. For commuters, it improves express bus service and expands ridesharing programs. In the Coachella Valley, revenues also are available for bus replacement and local bus service. Commuter Assistance The purpose of this program is to provide short-term incentives to encourage single occupant vehicle drivers to use alternate modes of transportation including carpools, vanpools, bus pools, public bus, commuter rail, walking, and bicycling. Motorist Assistance The Motorist Assistance program has two elements. The Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) is a special team of tow trucks that travel on selected Riverside County freeways during peak commuter hours to assist drivers when their cars break down. The other element is the call box system, which installation and operation is made possible with revenue provided by the public. One dollar per year from every motor vehicle registration pays for the call boxes and their operation and maintenance. Call boxes arc being provided by the Commission, which serves as the County's Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE). 219 Bicycle and Pedestrian LTF provides revenues for the construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and related right-of-way costs. Transit The Commission is the agency responsible for short-range transportation planning and programmting and coordinating the operation of all public transportation service within the County. The Commission allocates and disburses TDA funds to the transit operators for operating and capital purposes.

GASB 45 requires recognition of post -retirement health care costs on an accrual basis over a period approximating the employees' years of service and to provide information about actuarial accrued liabilities associated with these benefits and whether and to what extent progress is being made in funding the plan. General Fund The governmental fund type used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. General Ledger A record containing the accounts needed to reflect the financial position and the results of operations of a government. In double -entry bookkeeping, debit balances equal the credit balances in the general ledger. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Minimum standards and guidelines for financial accounting and reporting. GAAP encompass the conventions, rules, and procedures that serve as the norm for the fair presentation of financial statements. The GASB is the primary authoritative accounting and financial reporting standard -setting body on the application of GAAP to state and local governments. 222 " " Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) Rules and procedures established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for the conduct of a financial audit. There are ten basic GAAS, classed into three broad categories: general standards, standards of fieldwork, and standards of reporting. The Auditing Standards Board of the AICPA publishes Statements on Auditing Standards (SAS) and related interpretations to comment and expand upon these basic standards. Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) Standards established by the General Accounting Office (GAO) in its publication, Government Auditing Standards, for the conduct and reporting of both financial and performance audits in the public sector. GAGAS set forth general standards applicable to both types of audits and separate standards of fieldwork and reporting for financial and performance audits. The GAGAS standards of fieldwork and reporting for financial audits incorporate and build upon GAAS. Governmental Funds Funds generally used to account for tax -supported activities. The Commission's governmental funds are comprised of general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds_ Grant A contribution by a government or other organization to support a particular function or program. Independent Auditor An auditor meeting the independence criteria set forth in GAAS and GAGAS. Indirect Cost Allocation Plan A cost allocation plan developed to identify and document the cost incurred to administer state and federal programs and is used to recover such indirect costs from program grants or reimbursement agreements. Internal Auditing An independent appraisal of the diverse operations and controls within a government entity to determine whether acceptable policies and procedures are followed, established standards are met, resources are used efficiently and economically, and the organization's objectives are being achieved. The term covers all forms of appraisal of activities undertaken by auditors working for and within an organization. Internal Control Policies and procedures established to provide reasonable assurance that specific government objectives will be achieved. Joint Venture A legal entity or other organization resulting from a contractual agreement and that is owned, operated, or governed by two or more participants as a separate and specific activity for the benefit of the public or service recipients and in which the government retains an ongoing financial interest or ongoing financial responsibility. The Commission is a member agency of Metrolink. Legal Level of Budgetary Control The level at which a government's management may not reallocate resources without special approval from the legislative body. Loans Receivable An asset account reflecting amounts loaned to individuals or organizations external to the Commission, including notes taken as security for such loans. Measurement Focus The objective of a measurement, that is, what is being expressed in reporting a government's financial performance and position. A particular measurement focus considers not only which resources are measured (financial or economic), but also when the effects of transactions or events involving those resources are recognized (basis of accounting). The measurement focus of the Commission's government -wide and fiduciary fund financial statements is economic resources, whereas the measurement focus of governmental fund financial statements is current financial resources. Modified Accrual Basis The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental funds' measurement focus according to which revenues and other financial resource increments (e.g., bond issue proceeds) are recognized when they become susceptible to 223 accrual, that is when they become both "measurable" and "available to finance expenditures of the current period." Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt and certain similar accrued obligations when due. The Commission's governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Other Financing Sources Amounts classified separately from revenues to avoid distorting revenue trends that represent an increase in current financial resources. Other financing sources generally include general long-term debt proceeds, amounts equal to the present value of minimum lease payments arising from capital leases, proceeds from the sale of general fixed assets, and transfers in. Other Financing Uses Amounts classified separately from expenditures to avoid distorting expenditure trends and represent a decrease in current financial resources. Other financing uses generally include transfers out and the amount of refunding bond proceeds deposited with the escrow agent. Overhead Indirect costs that cannot be specifically associated with a given service, program, or department and thus, cannot be clearly associated with a particular functional category. Principal In the context of bonds other than deep -discount debt, the face value or par value of a bond or issue of bonds payable on stated dates of maturity. Program Group activities, operations, or organizational units directed to attaining specific purposes or objectives. Program Budget A budget wherein expenditures are based primarily on the functions or activities of a government rather than to specific items of cost or to specific departments. Purchase Order A document authorizing the delivery of specified merchandise or the rendering of certain services and the making of a charge for them. Refunding Bonds Bonds issued to retire bonds already outstanding. The proceeds of refunding bonds may be used to repay the previously issued debt (current refunding) or to be placed with an escrow agent and invested until used to pay principal and interest on old debt at a future dale (advance refunding). Reimbursement Grant A grant for which a potential recipient must first incur qualifying expenditures to be eligible. Reserved Fund Balance Those portions of fund balance which are not appropriable for expenditure or that are legally segregated for a specific future use. Special Revenue Fund A governmental fund type used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditure for specified purposes. The Commission maintains special revenue funds for Measure A Western County, Coachella Valley, and Palo Verde; Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee; Freeway Service Patrol; Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies; State Transit Assistance; and Local Transportation Fund. Transfers All interfund transfers representing flows of assets between funds of the government without equivalent flows of assets in return and without a requirement for repayments. Trust Fund A fiduciary fund type used to report pension, invesunent. or private -purpose trust arrangements, under which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments. • • 224 T`ustee A fiduciary holding property on behalf of another. 225 Proposed Budget Fiscal Year 2009/10 RCTC Budget Summary Beginning Fund Balance S4E8,096,000 Revenues 284,435,700 Debt Roc eeds 260,000.000 Translers h 243,482,600 Total Estimated Sources 787,918,300 &pendeures 869,545.200 Transfers Out 243,482,600 Total attested Uses 813.027,800 Uses Over Sources (125.109,500) (Offset by beghning fund balance) Endng Fund Balance $ 280.985,500 Funding Sources Budget Adjustments (Draft to Final) Mena ati,Gund a v14 PafYi FY 2009A4Va4mnle.

The Proposition created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, placing limits on the amount of revenue that can be spent by public agencies from the "proceeds of taxes." In 1980, the State Legislature added Section 7910 to the Government Code, providing that the governing body of each local jurisdiction must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year is equal to the previous year's limit adjusted for population changes and changes in the California per capita income. The Commission is subject to the requirements of Article XIIIB. Gann appropriations limits are calculated for and applied to the Commission. In accordance with the requirements of Article XIIIB implementing legislation, the Board approved Resolution No. 08-017 on June 11, 2008, establishing appropriations limits for the Commission at $322,761,463. The FY 2008/09 budget appropriated $196,228,661 in taxes for the Commission, falling well within the limits set by the Gann Initiative. Based on historic trends and future projections, it appears the Commission's use of the proceeds of taxes, as defined by Article XIIIB, will continue to fall below the appropriations limit. The projected gap between the Commission's projected "use of proceeds" and appropriations limit remains significant over the next decade. The calculation for the FY 2009/10 appropriations limit is as follows: RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION 2009-2010 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT 2008-2009 Appropriations Limit $ 31 1,666,690 2009-2010 adjustment: Change in California per capita income Change in Population, Riverside County 2.13 percent 1.40 percent 2.13 + 100 = 1.0213 100 1.40 + 100 = 1.014 100 1.0213 x 1.014 = 1.0355982 $ 31 1,666,690 X 1.0355982 = $ 322,761,463 2009-2010 Appropriations Limit $ 322,761,463 Source: California per capita income — California Department of Finance Population, Riverside County — California Department of Finance Demographic Research Unit " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 10, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Cheryl Johns, Procurement and Assets Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Federal Transit Administration Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Proposed Goal for Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Adopt 0.0% as its annual race -neutral Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal for FFY 2009/10 from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010; 2) Adopt Resolution No. 09-012, "A Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Adopting Its Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Goal (49 CFR Part 26) as Applies to Funding Received Directly from the Federal Transit Administration"; 3) Post the proposed DBE overall annual goal for FFY 2009/10 and receive comments for 45 days; and 4) Submit the FFY 2009/10 FTA DBE program and annual goal to the FTA. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) and the FTA, 49 CFR Part 26, the Commission must adopt its DBE annual goal as a condition to receive a commitment for federal financial assistance from the FTA as a direct recipient. Since 2006, the Commission has implemented a race -neutral DBE program in compliance with directives issued by the U.S. DOT published in response to the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision in the Western States Paving Co. vs. United States and Washington State Department of Transportation. In a race -neutral program, the Commission may not set numeric contract DBE participation goals on any of its DOT -assisted contracts for which DBE subcontracting possibilities exist until such time that the Commission can adequately document evidence of discrimination in its transportation contracting Agenda Item 8A 226 program within its relevant geographic area to meet narrow tailoring provisions of the governing regulations (49 CFR Part 26). However, for FFY 2009/10, it is proposed that the annual FTA DBE goal be 0.0%. Staff is recommending a null goal because there are no new projects planned for FFY 2009/10 that will be funded either in whole or in part with FTA funds. Although the Commission has applied for stimulus funds from FTA, any such funding received will be disbursed to local cities and other agencies. The Commission will not be directly awarding any third party contracts using FTA funds. For FFY 2008/09, the Commission set an annual race -neutral DBE goal of 6.4%. To date, the Commission has awarded one construction contract utilizing FTA funds. In December 2008, a contract for the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility was awarded in the amount of $4,904,840 with federal funds in the amount of $1,494,022. As required, the public notice will be published in the newspaper to inform the public of the proposed goals and the rationale for setting the goal. These documents are available for inspection at the Commission for 30 days following the date of the notice, with a 45-day comment period. If there are no substantive comments received, the adopted goal and goal methodology shall be submitted to the FTA by August 1, 2009. Attachments: 1) DBE Goal Methodology 2) Resolution No. 09-012 Agenda Item 8A • • 227 ATTACHMENT 7 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Proposed Annual Overall Goal For Federal Transit Administration Funded Projects Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 I. GOAL METHODOLOGY As required by Federal Regulations 49 CFR Section 26, " public agencies receiving Federal Department of Transportation -assisted funds must adopt its annual overall DBE goal by using every effort to meet its goal through race neutral measures. Agencies may establish specific contract goals, including goals for particular projects through subcontracting opportunities, in those instances when race neutral measures are not sufficient to meet the Commission's overall goal.

The Riverside County Transportation Commission amends its DBE program goal for FFY 2009/10 (October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010) . SECTION 2. The Commission goal for FFY 2009/10 shall be 0.0%. SECTION 3. The Commission shall implement a race -neutral DBE program, and shall take affirmative steps to utilize race -neutral means of meeting its overall goal. ADOPTED this 10th day of June, 2009. Robert E. Magee, Chair Riverside County Transportation Commission ATTEST: Jennifer Harmon, Clerk of the Board Riverside County Transportation Commission • 243 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 10, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Cheryl Johns, Procurement and Assets Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Federal Highway Administration and Caltrans Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Proposed Annual Anticipated Race- Conscious and Race -Neutral Participation Goals for Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Adopt 0.3% as its race -conscious Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL) and 0.4% as its race -neutral Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL) for FFY 2009/10 from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010; 2) Adopt Resolution No. 09-013, "A Resolution of the Riverside County Transportation Commission Adopting Its Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program and Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level as Applies to Funding Received from the Federal Highway Administration Through Caltrans"; 3) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission for submission to Caltrans; 4) Authorize the Chair to execute the Local Agency DBE Annual Submittal Form on behalf of the Commission for submission to Caltrans; and 5) Submit the FFY 2009/10 DBE program and AADPL to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In accordance with regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), the FHWA, and 49 CFR Part 26, in order to be eligible for federal highway funding grants as a subrecipient through Caltrans, the Commission must adopt annual DBE participation goals. Since 2006, the Commission has implemented a race -neutral DBE program in compliance with directives issued by U.S. DOT published in response to the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision in the Western States Paving Co. vs. Agenda Item 8B 244 United States and Washington State Department of Transportation. In a race - neutral program, the Commission may not set numeric contract DBE participation goals on any of its DOT -assisted contracts for which DBE subcontracting possibilities exist. In March 2009, Caltrans notified all of its subrecipients that it had received conditional approval from the FHWA to implement a race -conscious component to the DBE program that would also apply to local agency sub -recipients of FHWA funding. As a result, local agencies must adopt and execute a new California Department of Transportation DBE Implementation Agreement and incorporate a race -conscious annual anticipated DBE participation goal into their DBE program. All contracts to be awarded after June 2, 2009, utilizing federal (FHWA) funding must incorporate both race -neutral and race -conscious DBE participation goal components. In addition Caltrans made available new contract terms and conditions and forms that must be used in federally funded contracts. For FFY 2008/09, the Commission established a race -neutral AADPL of 0.45%. During the year, the total percentage of DBE award is 0.00%. The Commission did not award any FHWA funded contracts. In establishing the goals for FFY 2009/10, staff proposes that the Race -Conscious AADPL be 0.3% and the race -neutral AADPL be 0.4%. These goals were based on the U.S. Census Bureau "County Business Patterns" for 2005, using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). This year staff used statistics within a three -county area — Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino — area that the Commission draws bids from and is working with on several large projects. The following project has been identified as a candidate for FHWA funding for fiscal year 2009/10: • Construction of State Route 74 from G Street to Interstate 215 interchange The analysis attached to this staff report details the formula utilized in developing the AADPLs for FFY 2009/10. Adoption of these goals and execution of the included documents will meet the requirements established by Caltrans to continue to receive FHWA funding as a subrecipient. Attachments: 1► DBE Goal Methodology -Race Conscious 2) DBE Goal Methodology -Race Neutral 3) Resolution No. 09-013 4) U.S. DOT DBE Implementation Agreement 5) Annual Submittal Form Agenda Item 8B • • 245 ATTACHMENT 1 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal and Methodology For Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 Race -Conscious The Commission was notified by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) that it had received conditional approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to immediately implement its Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal and Methodology. As part of the revised program, Caltrans has adopted a race -conscious DBE Goal and an Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL). The two percentages will be combined into an overall program goal. To comply with the directive from Caltrans, the Commission is required to calculate new race -conscious DBE goal. In addition, the Commission is required to calculate a Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL) and utilization that the Commission expects can be achieved on the projected projects for the upcoming fiscal year. A separate document will be issued outlining the determination of the AADPL. I. RACE -CONSCIOUS DBE GOAL METHODOLOGY The following methodology was used in establishing the race -conscious DBE Goal for the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement RFQ: • NUMERATOR - Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (UDBEs)* firms in the four -county area (Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange) • DENOMINATOR - Total number of consulting and construction firms, the work category** identified within the four -county area based on the most recent available data from the U.S. Census Bureau - 2006 *: Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (UDBEs) include the following African American, Asian -Pacific American, Women, and Native American businesses.

ANTICIPATED PROJECTS FOR FFY 2009/10 The following project represents the projected Federal Highway Administration funded contracts for DBE federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. A. State Route 74 from G- Street to the 1-215 Interchange Scope of Work — Construction of a new interchange and adjacent city street improvements. Estimated Total Amount of Contract: $ 30,075,000 Estimated Federal Funds: $ 800,000 For the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 no Consultant Contracts are anticipated to be awarded with federal fund allocations. IV. UTILIZATION OF RACE -CONSCIOUS METHOD Staff foresees meeting the proposed 0.3% goal utilizing race -conscious methods by: 1) making efforts to ensure that the Request for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitation for Bids (IFBs) process and the contracting requirements facilitate participation by DBEs and other small businesses; 2) encouraging the prime consultant and contractors to subcontract portions of the work to DBEs; 3) distributing the RFPs and IFBs to organizations that represent and assist DBEs; and, 4) listing the RFPs and IFBs on the Commission website www.rctc.org. V. ESTABLISHMENT OF DBE GOAL Based on the information presented in the report, it is proposed that the Commission's race -conscious DBE goal for the fiscal year 2009 to 2010 be established at 0.3%. 257 ATTACHMENT 1 VI.

Conscious Determination For Federal Fiscal Year 2009/10 Race -Neutral The Commission was notified by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) that they had received conditional approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to immediately implement its Federal Fiscal Year IFFY) 2009 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal and Methodology. As part of the revised program, Caltrans has adopted a race -conscious DBE Goal and an Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL). The two percentages will be combined into an overall program goal. To comply with the directive from Caltrans, the Commission is required to calculate new race -conscious DBE goal. In addition, the Commission is required to calculate a project specific Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Level (AADPL) and utilization that the Commission achieved on the projected projects for the upcoming fiscal year. A separate document will be issued outlining the determination of the race - conscious DBE Goal I. RACE -NEUTRAL AADPL METHODOLOGY The following methodology was used in establishing the race -neutral AADPL: • NUMERATOR - Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs)* firms in the four -county area (Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange) • DENOMINATOR — Total number of consulting and construction firms, the work category** identified within the four -county area based on the most recent available data from the U.S. Census Bureau — 2006 *: Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) include the following: Asian Subcontinent (men), Caucasian (men), Hispanic (men), and other businesses (men). The number of the firms available was obtained from the Caltrans Office Civil Rights web page: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/bep/find certified.htm 262 ATTACHMENT 2 * *: The work categories selected from the 2006 County Business Patterns (NAICS) are as follows: TABLE A Industry Code Industry Code Description 5413 Architectural, Engineering, and Related Services 54131 Architectural Services 541310 Architectural Services 54132 Landscape Architectural Services 541320 Landscape Architectural Services 54133 Engineering Services 541330 Engineering Services 54134 Drafting Services 541340 Drafting Services 54135 Building Inspection Services 541350 Building Inspection Services 54136 Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services 541360 Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services 54137 Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services 541370 Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services 54138 Testing Laboratories 541380 Testing Laboratories 541618 Other Management Consulting Services 54162 Environmental Consulting Services 541620 Environmental Consulting Services 54182 Public Relations Agencies 541820 Public Relations Agencies This information can be obtained from the following web link: http://censtats.census.gov/cgi-bin/cbpnaic/cbpdetl.pl 263 ATTACHMENT 2 TABLE B— Construction Services Industry Code Industry Code Description 237110 Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction 237120 Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction 237310 Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction 238110 Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors 238120 Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors 238140 Masonry Contractors 238190 Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors 238210 Electrical Contractors 238910 Site Preparation Contractors This information can be obtained from the following web link: http://censtats.census.gov/cgi-bin/cbpnaic/cbpdetl.pl To obtain the Numerator a query search was performed with the following parameters at the Ca!trans Office Civil Rights web page: • Select the three -county area (Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange) • Select the Race/Ethnicity - Asian Subcontinent (men), Caucasian (men), Hispanic (men), and other businesses (men) owned business. • Select the same NAICS Categories that were used for the Census Data Search as listed in Table A and Table B. • Obtain the number of DBE certified Firms.

The weighted Base Figure is calculated by first determining the number of ready, willing, and able DBEs in the three counties for the work category shown in Table A, divided by the number of total firms in those categories. Using this method determines the availability by the number of firms that have directly participated in, or attempted to participate in, past federally -funded assisted contracting efforts. The application of the formula yields the following baseline information: AADPL (Base Figure) = f � No.of (DBEs)in aWork Category xWeight L No. of All Firms in same Work Category The Base Figure resulting from the calculation is as follows: CONSULTANT SERVICES x100 NAICS Classification DBE s Available (Numerator) All Firms from 2006 Census Weight AADPL (Base Figure) 5413 Architectural, Engineering, and Related Services 42 2,812 .00 0% 54162 Environmental Consulting Services 9 237 .00 0% 54182 Public Relations Agencies 3 122 .00 0% 541618 Other Management Consulting Services 19 151 .00 0% TOTAL 73 3,322 0.00 0% 270 ATTACHMENT 2 CONSTRUCTION SERVICES NAICS Classification DBE s Available (Numerator) All Firms from 2006 Census Weight AADPL (Base Figure) NAICS 237110 Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction 18 226 0.0006 0.0045% NAICS 237120 oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction 4 33 0.0003 0.0031 % NAICS 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction 5 106 0.00004 0.0002% NAICS 237310 Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction 39 175 0.0138 0.3067% NAICS 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction 18 106 0.0040 0.0678% NAICS 238110 Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors 19 584 0.0053 0.0173% NAICS 238120 Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors 15 99 0.0000 0.0000% NAICS 238140 Masonry Contractors 9 400 0.0013 0.0030% NAICS 238190 Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors 2 120 0.0008 0.0013% NAICS 238210 Electrical Contractors 17 1716 0.0017 0.0016% NAICS 238910 Site Preparation Contractors 20 658 0.0002 0.0005% TOTAL 166 4,223 0.0279 0.4061 % 271 ATTACHMENT 2 AADPL (Base Figure) = Consultant AADPL(Base Figure) + Construction AADPL(Base Figure) AADPL (Base Figure) = 0 + 0.4061 AADPL (Base Figure) = 0.4061 AADPL (Base Figure) Rounded = 0.4% II.

ANTICIPATED PROJECTS FOR FFY 2009/10 The following project represents the projected Federal Highway Administration funded contracts for DBE federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. A. State Route 74 from G- Street to the 1-215 Interchange Scope of Work — Construction of a new interchange and adjacent city street improvements. Estimated Total Amount of Contract: $ 30,075,000 Estimated Federal Funds: $ 800,000 For the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 no Consultant Contracts are anticipated to be awarded with federal fund allocations. IV. UTILIZATION OF RACE -NEUTRAL METHOD Staff foresees meeting the proposed 0.4% AADPL utilizing race -neutral methods by: 1) making efforts to ensure that the Request for Proposals (RFPs) and Invitation for Bids (IFBs) process and the contracting requirements facilitate participation by DBEs and other small businesses; 2) encouraging the prime consultant and contractors to subcontract portions of the work to DBEs; 3) distributing the RFPs and IFBs to organizations that represent and assist DBEs; and, 4) listing the RFPs and IFBs on the Commission website www.rctc.orq. V. ESTABLISHMENT OF AADPL Based on the information presented in the report, it is proposed that the Commission's race -neutral AADPL for the fiscal year 2009 to 2010 be established at 0.4%. 272 ATTACHMENT 2 VI.

WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a decision regarding the Washington State Department of Transportation, determined that sufficient evidence must exist to support the use of race conscious measures on federal -aid contracts; WHEREAS, Caltrans conducted an assessment of its DBE program, including an extended public comment period, and determined that the use of race conscious programs and goals could violate the Ninth Circuit ruling, which is controlling authority for California; WHEREAS, as of August 2007, Caltrans completed an Availability/Disparity Study (Study) the purpose of which, was to ascertain whether discrimination exists in the State's transportation contracting industry; WHEREAS, based on the results of the Study, Caltrans requested a waiver from the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) to implement race -neutral and race -conscious measures; WHEREAS, U.S. DOT granted Caltrans request for waiver and approved the proposed goals and methodology; WHEREAS, Caltrans adopted and began implementing the "California Department of Transportation Disadvantaged and Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program Plan" ("Caltrans DBE program") to institute a race- conscious/race-neutral DBE program at both the state and local level; WHEREAS, Caltrans DBE program replaces the existing Caltrans race -neutral DBE program as well as all existing local agency DBE programs, unless a local agency program has been directly approved by a federal agency; WHEREAS, local agencies no longer have their own separate DBE programs, but must instead complete a "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Implementation Agreement" between the local agency and Caltrans; 276 WHEREAS, rather than establishing their own DBE goals, local agencies are now required to calculate their Annual Anticipated DBE Participation Levels (AADPL) based on factors set forth in the Local Programs Procedures, which revise the Local Assistance Procedures Manual to provide for a race -conscious and race - neutral program that recognizes underutilized Disadvantaged Businesses Enterprises as identified in the Study, and to submit the AADPLs to Caltrans via the "DBE Annual Submittal Form" for the relevant federal fiscal year; NOW, THEREFORE, the Riverside County Transportation Commission hereby resolves as follows: SECTION 1. The Riverside County Transportation Commission hereby adopts the Caltrans DBE program and authorizes the Chair to: A. Execute the California Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Implementation Agreement, pursuant to legal counsel review, as Exhibit A to this resolution; B. Execute the Local Agency "DBE Annual Submittal Form" on behalf of the Commission, SECTION 2. The Riverside County Transportation Commission hereby adopts 0.3% as its Annual Anticipated DBE Race -Conscious Participation Level (AADPL) and 0.4% as its Annual Anticipated DBE Race -Neutral Participation Level (AADPL) for the FFY 2009/10.

Race -neutral DBE participation includes any time a DBE wins a prime contract through customary competitive procurement procedures, is awarded a subcontract on a prime contract that does not carry a DBE goal, or even if there is a DBE goal, wins a subcontract from a prime contractor that did not consider its DBE status in making the award (e.g., a prime contractor that uses a strict low -bid system to award subcontracts). Race -neutral means include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Arranging solicitations, times for the presentation of bids, quantities, specifications, and delivery schedules in ways that facilitate DBE, and other small businesses, participation (e.g., unbundling large contracts to make them more accessible to small businesses, requiring or encouraging prime contractors to subcontract portions of work that they might otherwise perform with their own forces); 2. Providing assistance in overcoming limitations such as inability to obtain bonding or financing (e.g., by such means as simplifying the bonding process, reducing bonding requirements, eliminating the impact of surety costs from bids, and providing services to help DBEs, and other small businesses, obtain bonding and financing); 3. Providing technical assistance and other services; • 4. Carrying out information and communication programs on contracting procedures and specific contract opportunities (e.g., ensuring the inclusion of DBEs, and other small businesses, on recipient mailing lists of bidders; ensuring the dissemination to bidders on prime contracts of lists of potential subcontractors; provision of information in languages other than English, where appropriate); 5. Implementing a supportive services program to develop and improve immediate and long-term business management, record keeping, and financial and accounting capability for DBEs and other small businesses; 6. Providing services to help DBEs, and other small businesses, improve long-term development, increase opportunities to participate in a variety of types of work, handle increasingly significant projects, and achieve eventual self-sufficiency; 7. Establishing a program to assist new, start-up fimis, particularly in fields in which DBE participation has historically been low; 8. Ensuring distribution of your DBE directory, through print and electronic means, to the widest feasible universe of potential prime contractors; and 9. Assisting DBEs, and other small businesses, to develop their capability to utilize emerging technology and conduct business through electronic media.

LPP 09-xx Page 9-37 March 4, 2009 290 " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 10, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Michele Cisneros, Accounting and Human Resources Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Quarterly Financial Statements STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to receive and file the Quarterly Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2009. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the last nine months of the fiscal year, staff has monitored the revenues and expenditures of the Commission. The attached financial statements present the revenues and expenditures for the first nine months of the fiscal year. Period closing accrual adjustments are not included for revenues earned but not billed and expenditures incurred for goods and services received but not yet invoiced, as such adjustments are normally made during the year-end closing activities. The operating statement shows the sales tax revenues for the third quarter at 59% of the budget. This is a result of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33. GASB 33 requires sales tax revenue to be accrued for the period in which it is collected at the point of sale. The State Board of Equalization collects the Measure A funds and remits them to the Commission after the reporting period for the businesses. This creates a two -month lag in the receipt of revenues by the Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements reflect the revenues related to collections through January 2009. On a cash basis, the Measure A and Local Transportation Fund (LTF) sales tax revenues are 12.7% and 11.9% lower, respectively, than the same period last fiscal year due to the economic downturn regionally and nationally. Staff continues to monitor the trends in the sales tax receipts and will report to the Commission any necessary adjustments to the budget for sales tax revenue. Federal, state, and local government reimbursements are on a reimbursement basis, and the Commission will receive these revenues as the projects are completed and invoiced to the respective agencies. Agenda Item 8C 291 During the FY 2008/09 budget planning process, the Commission took a very conservative approach in estimating the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) receipts as a result of the housing crisis and the significant impact this has had on the Inland Empire's local economy. The operating statement shows TUMF revenues, including project reimbursements, at 104% of the budget; however, a portion of the TUMF fees due to the Commission were withheld in March 2009, to offset developer fee refunds processed by the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG). Once this balance has been satisfied, TUMF fee payments to the Commission, if any, will resume. Other revenues include first and second quarter State Transit Assistance (STA) revenues remitted to the Commission. In March 2009, the Commission received a revised STA estimate from the state, reducing the FY 2008/09 STA revenues to approximately $4.9 million or an additional 47% below the revised October 2008 estimate. The March 2009 state revision is not reflected in the FY 2008/09 budget amounts. Interest income is slightly higher at 88% for a nine -month period than budgeted; however, interest yields on invested balances have been declining. Staff is addressing the impact of the revised revenue allocation estimates to local governments and transit operators. Staff will diligently continue to monitor the FY 2008/09 revenues and will update the Commission if additional adjustments are needed when the final budget is presented at the June 2009 Commission meeting. The administrative and program/project categories are in line overall with the expectations of the budget with the following exceptions: • The Coachella Valley Regional Arterial Program is administered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) and requests reimbursement from the Commission based on available funds and sufficient budget authority. This category is slightly higher due to claims submitted by CVAG during the first quarter. • Engineering, construction, and right-of-way/land expenditures related to the highway and rail capital projects. Status information on significant projects is included below. • Local streets and roads expenditures are related to the timing of the Measure A sales tax revenues as explained earlier. • LTF and STA distributions are below budgeted amounts due to approximately $24 million and $17 million in operating and capital allocations, respectively, not claimed as of March 31, 2009. The transit operators have been reviewing operations and capital requirements as a result of the declining sales tax and STA revenues. Agenda Item 8C • • • 292 " " Intergovernmental distributions are expended as one-time LTF payments made based on claims submitted by CVAG and WRCOG. Any unused funds in this category are related to the planning and programming departmental expenditures. Capital outlay expenditures are under budget due to unexpended authority for financial software improvements and station improvements. Staff expects these improvements to take place by the fourth quarter of FY 2008/09. Debt service interest expenditures are made in December and June, while principal payments are made in June. Listed below are the significant capital projects and their status. Capital project expenditures are generally affected by lags in invoices submitted by contractors and consultants as well as issues encountered during certain phases of the projects. The capital projects budgets tend to be based on aggressive project schedules. Highway Engineering/Construction/Right-of-Way/Land State Route 74/G Street to Interstate 215 - Following Federal Highway Administration approval of the modified access report, the Commission issued a notice to proceed to initiate the "at risk" design of the project in March 2008. The final environmental document was approved December 2008, and the Commission is now proceeding with final design aspects of the work. SR-91 /Green River Interchange - The Commission is still awaiting invoice submittals from Ca!trans through December 2008. The project is essentially complete and has been opened to traffic. SR-91 /La Sierra Interchange - The city of Riverside is the lead agency and elected to perform non -Measure A work first and then proceed with starting work on the Measure A funded portion of the work in the second half of FY 2008/09. The Commission is currently awaiting invoice submittals from the city. SR-91 /Van Buren Interchange - The city of Riverside is the lead agency and expects to have the environmental phase completed by April 2009. Advertising for construction is anticipated in April 2009 pending availability of state funds. If state funds are available, construction would start July 2009. SR-91 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOW Lanes from Adams Street to 7`h Street - Caltrans is the �%ead agency for the final design phase of this project. Utility relocation and public utility easement requirements are .being completed as part of the final design. Utility relocation activity has begun; however, invoices have not been received. The Commission is performing the right-of-way acquisition activities. Agenda Item 8C 293 SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project - Project activities are proceeding as planned, as expenditures are at 90% of the project budget. State Routes 91 /71 Connectors - Project scope changes were made to transfer a significant portion of the work to the SR-91 corridor improvement project, and geometric approval from Caltrans has taken longer than anticipated. Staff is working closely with Caltrans to obtain approval of the geometric approval drawings. 1-15 Corridor Improvement Project - The environmental phase of the project commenced at a slower rate than anticipated; however, the majority of the budget will be expended by the end of the fiscal year. 1-215 Bi-County Project - San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) is the lead agency and the Commission is responsible for 25% of the. consultant's fee. SANBAG placed a hold on proceeding with preliminary engineering until it completed its strategic planning efforts for its program. SANBAG determined that an interim HOV project would be constructed. Commission approval for funding was approved in February, and engineering started in February. The ultimate bicounty project will be deferred until a later date; however, the Commission is awaiting invoices for work completed prior to deferring this scope of the project. 1-215 from Murrieta Hot Springs Road to Scott Road - The environmental phase of the project was completed and the final design contract awarded last quarter. The final design is proceeding on schedule. The Scott Road to Nuevo Road environmental phase is also proceeding on schedule; however, these projects may be underbudget for the fiscal year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In December 2007, the Commission awarded an agreement to MuniServices, LLC for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on additional sales tax revenue generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax) audit services. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only the Measure A sales taxes. Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices has submitted an audit update, which reported findings that have been generated and submitted to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) for review and determination of errors in sales tax reporting related to 93 businesses. Through Quarter 3 (03) 2008 for July through September 2008, the SBOE has approved corrections for 28 of these accounts for a total sales tax revenue recovery of $215,438. If the SBOE concurs with the error(s) for the remaining claims, the Commission would receive additional revenues; however, the magnitude of the value of the remaining findings was not available. It is important to note that while the recoveries of additional revenues will be tangible, it will not be sufficient to alter the overall trend of sales tax revenues. Additionally, MuniServices has provided the Commission with the quarterly sales tax report for the fourth quarter (Q4) of calendar 2008 for October through December 2008. Most of the Q4 2008 Measure A sales taxes were received by the Commission in the first quarter (Q1) of calendar 2009 for January through March, 2009, due to a lag in the sales tax calendar. This report includes a review by each major economic category, an analysis of sales tax by business category, an analysis of the quarter's cash receipts, and a summary of the top 25 sales tax contributors. The executive summary section of the Q4 2008 report is included as Agenda Item 8D 297 an attachment to the staff report. The following observations were noted in the Q4 2008 report: • Continuing declines in sales tax revenues are projected for each major economic category. • Over the last two-year period, the Q4 2008 sales tax levels were at or near the low points for almost all of the top 10 economic segments, except for service stations that were closer to the high point due to the higher fuel prices during this period. • Over the last two-year period, the Q4 2008 sales tax levels for new auto sales and building materials (retail and wholesale) showed a significant variance from the high point, indicating that these segments have been significantly affected by the slowdown in the economy. The report indicates that the economic difficulties will continue through mid-2010. Staff continues to monitor monthly sales tax receipts and other available economic data to determine the need for any additional adjustment to the revenue projections in FY 2008/09, as well as the budget for FY 2009/10. Attachment: Sales Tax Analysis for Quarter 4, 2008 ' Agenda Item 8D • • 298 District of Riverside Co RCTC Sales Tax Digest Summary FIRST Quarter Collection of FOURTH Quarter Sales Quarter 4, 2008 6/NUNISERVICES CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW California local governments' sales tax revenues abandoned sure footing in the second half of 2008. Recognition of the states economic recession introduced residents, legislators and local government officials to a rapidly deteriorating economy. Consumer confidence, while appreciative of lower fuel and energy costs, directed savings at the pump to anything except taxable purchases. Adding consumers' lack of spending to large businesses stockpiling cash, small businesses struggling to find financing and difficult -if -not -impossible -to -find consumer credit for auto and home purchases leads to the foregone conclusion that 2009 is going to be a very rough year. California local governments look ahead to a possible bottoming of the economy in the 3rd Quarter 2009, flat growth into 2010 and slow growth by the end of 2010. Stock market gains coupled with the sale of foreclosure homes and increased new housing starts offers hope of better times in late 2010 early 201 1. EXPECTATIONS The following review of each major economic category outlines MuniServices' expectations and projections based on MuniServices trending data analysis, market research and national economy considerations. • Holiday sales started slow and improved in the final weeks of the season, yet many retailers experienced double-digit declines. • Luxury retail shoppers are choosing promotional and clearance -priced items over regular - priced merchandise. • Expect additional department store closures and bankruptcies over the next year. Vulnerable businesses include Gottschalks, Kmart, Sears and furniture stores. • Wal-Mart"s lower prices attracted a wider spectrum of shoppers searching for better deals. • Projection: 7.5% decline through 2nd Quarter 2010. www.MuniSeruices com /Soolgy-8181 Pagel District of Riverside Co RCTC • Restaurants will follow the same path as general retail. Consumers are downgrading restaurant choices and cooking at home more frequently. • Projection: 7.5% decline through 2nd Quarter 2010. • Depressed auto sales will lead to more dealership consolidations, dealership closures and possible failure of Chrysler and/or General Motors. • New Auto Sales Projection: 50%, 30%, 20% and 20% declines in 15' 2nd 3rO and 4w Quarter 2009, respectively, from year-ago quarter. • Service Stations Projection: 50%, 50%, 25% and 0% declines in 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th Quarter 2009, respectively, -from year-ago quarter. • Stalled housing markets erode demand for construction goods, which leads to continued job losses throughout the construction supply chain. • Projection: 15% decline through 4th Quarter 2010. Business to Business • Job losses combined with economic uncertainty are leading companies to put off purchases. • Demand for semiconductors expected to decline by 24% in 2009. • Projection: 5% to 10% decline through 4th Quarter 2009. • Statewide sales tax revenue was down 4.9% for the year and 10.8% for the quarter. • Northern California was down 3.6% for the year and 9.2% for the quarter. • Southern California was down 5.8% for the year and 12.0% for the quarter.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2002, Assembly_ Bill 1010 authored by then -Assemblyman Lou Correa allowed the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to purchase the 91 Express Lanes franchise from the California Private Transportation Company. The purchase agreement was completed in January 2003 at a cost of $207.5 million. AB 1010 also eliminated the existing non -compete clause in the franchise agreement that prohibited any capacity -enhancing improvements from being made to SR-91 until the year 2030. The purchase of the 91 Express Lanes and the elimination of the non -compete clause has allowed much -needed improvements to be planned and implemented within the SR-91 corridor. OCTA, the Commission, and Caltrans Districts 8 and 12 have been coordinating these improvements. Also required by AB 1010 is the creation and annual update of an implementation plan of SR-91 improvements for the State Legislature. As spelled out in the legislation, the State Route 91 Implementation Plan was completed by OCTA, in consultation with Caltrans and the Commission, and details proposed projects and completion schedules for transportation improvements between Riverside and Orange Counties. The plan includes improvements to Metrolink, express bus, freeways and interchanges, new east -west highway corridors, and high speed rail.

This resulted in the development of the 91 Express Lanes facility in Orange County. The four -lane, 10-mile toll road runs along the median of the Riverside Freeway (State Route 91) in northeast Orange County between the Orange/Riverside County Line and the Costa Mesa Freeway (State Route 55). Since the 91 Express Lanes carried its first vehicle on December 27, 1995, the facility has saved users over 32 million hours of commuting time. While the 91 Express Lanes facility has improved travel time along the State Route 91 (SR-91) corridor, provisions in the franchise agreement between Caltrans and the private franchisee, the California Private Transportation Company (CPTC), prohibited Caltrans and county transportation agencies from adding transportation capacity or operational improvements to the SR-91 corridor from the Ontario Freeway (Interstate 15) in Riverside County to the Orange/Los Angeles Counties border through the year 2030. Consequently, the public agencies were barred from adding new lanes, improving interchanges, and adding other improvements to decrease congestion on the SR-91 freeway. Recognizing the need to eliminate the non -compete provision of the franchise agreement, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill 1010 (Lou Correa) into law in September 2002, paving the way for much -needed congestion relief for thousands of drivers who use SR-91 to travel between Riverside and Orange Counties each day. The bill allowed the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to purchase the 91 Express Lanes franchise and eliminate the existing clause that prohibited any capacity -enhancing improvements from being made to SR-91 until the year 2030. The purchase agreement for the 91 Express Lanes was completed in January 2003, placing the road in public hands at a cost of $207.5 million. With the elimination of the non -compete provision through AB 1010 and the subsequent 91 Express Lanes purchase by the OCTA, Orange County and Riverside County public officials and Caltrans Districts 8 and 12 have been coordinating improvement plans for SR-91, Senate Bill 1316 (Lou Correa) was signed into law in August 2008 as an update to the provisions of AB 1010. SB 1316 authorizes OCTA to transfer its rights and interests in the Riverside County portion of SR-91 toll lanes by assigning them to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and authorizes RCTC to impose tolls for 50 years. SB 1316 also requires OCTA, in consultation with Caltrans and RCTC, to annually issue a plan and a proposed completion schedule for SR-91 improvements from State Route 57 (SR-57) to Interstate 15 (1-15). The previous SR-91 Implementation Plan included a westerly project limit of State Route 55 (SR-55). This plan establishes a program of projects eligible for funding by the use of potential excess toll revenue and other funds. This 2009 SR-91 Implementation Plan (Plan) is the result of the requirement to provide the State Legislature with an annual Implementation Plan for SR-91 improvements and builds on the 2008 report, which was a major update of the previous annual Implementation Plans. This year's update includes projects identified in the Riverside County  Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS) as well as other project development efforts and funding programs such as the RCTC 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan that outlines a number of projects such as the extension of High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes from the Orange/Riverside County Line to 1-15, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) that provides a funding source for transportation projects, the extension of the Measure A program that provides funding for transportation projects in Riverside County, and the Renewed Measure M program that provides funding for transportation projects in Orange County. The 2009 Plan includes an overview, identification of issues and needs, time frames for project packages to improve mobility on SR-91, and are listed based on a logical sequence for implementation. Project descriptions include conceptual 2009 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1 308 lane diagrams (as appropriate), cost estimates (in 2009 dollars, or as noted), and discussion of key considerations that need to be addressed in the planning and development of each project. This plan will provide OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans with a framework to implement SR-91 and other related improvements. Future annual plan updates will continue to refine the scope, cost, and schedule of each project included in this version of the plan. SR-91 CORRIDOR CONDITIONS Project Limits The project study limits encompass the segment of SR-91 from west of the junction of SR-57 and SR-91 in the City of Anaheim in Orange County, to east of the junction of SR-91 and 1-15 in the City of Corona in Riverside County. The freeway segment is approximately 20.3 miles long, and includes approximately 12.7 miles within Orange County and approximately 7.6 miles within Riverside County. Traffic Conditions Summary A review of traffic conditions in the Corridor indicates that the existing carrying capacity of the facility is inadequate to accommodate current and future peak demand volumes, and that Level of Service (LOS) F prevails in the peak direction during the entire peak period, where LOS F is defined as the worst freeway operating condition and is defined as a density of more than 45 passenger cars/lane/mile. The results also indicate that there are several physical constraints that generate unacceptable traffic queues. The following list summarizes the deficiencies identified along the SR-91 Corridor: ❖ Heavy traffic volumes from 1-15 (North and South) converge with SR-91. The weaving and merging condition is complicated by the close proximity of the Westbound (WB) Main Street off -ramp. ❖ High demand from several on -ramps within the eastern segment exacerbates traffic conditions during rush hours. • An eastbound (EB) general purpose (GP) lane is dropped just east of the Corona Expressway (State Route 71). • The second EB High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane becomes a GP lane. Heavy downstream congestion forces traffic to exit at the Green River off -ramp. The backup caused by the off -ramp blocks the right lane of the mainline freeway. ❖ High traffic volumes from Gypsum Canyon Road and Santa Ana Canyon Road contribute to congestion on the mainline. • The Foothill Transportation Corridor (State Route 241) merges with SR-91 causing additional congestion in the EB direction. Both EB lanes from State Route 241 (SR-241) are dropped prior to State Route 71 (SR-71). ❖ Heavy traffic reentering the freeway merges at slow speeds from existing WB and EB truck scales, impacting the general-purpose lanes. • SR-55 merges with SR-91. An EB lane on SR-91 is dropped at Lakeview Avenue and a second EB lane is dropped at Imperial Highway creating a severe merge condition. •: WB SR-91 drops a GP lane and a 91 Express Lane to SB SR-55, which contributes to mainline congestion. ❖ High demand from Weir Canyon Road, Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue. ❖ WB traffic entering SR-91 at Lakeview Avenue weaving through three lanes from WB SR-91 to southbound (SB) SR-55 contributes to mainline congestion. PROJECT SUMMARY Many of the projects identified in this 2009 Plan are based on the MIS that was completed in January 2006. The projects are presented based on potential implementation schedules and priorities established in the MIS as well as through subsequent project development. Table 1 summarizes the various projects in the 2009 Plan, and they are outlined below by implementation schedule (see Section 2 for detailed project summaries): • The first set of projects is anticipated to be completed by 2011 and includes four improvements at a total cost of approximately $145 million. The projects include construction of a Metrolink parking structure at the North Main Street Corona Metrolink Station, Metrolink service improvements, Express Bus improvements, and the EB SR-91 lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71. These projects are in the process of preliminary engineering, final design, construction, 2009 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2 • • 309 " " or procurement and implementation, as noted in the project summaries. V' The 2015 improvements include five projects, with a total cost up to approximately $1.9 billion. The projects include new travel lanes between SR-55 and SR-241; interchange improvements at SR- 71/SR-91; the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (CIP) from SR-241 to Pierce Street that will widen SR-91 by one GP lane in each direction east of SR-241, add collector -distributor (CD) roads and direct connectors at I-15/SR-91, extend the 91 Express Lanes to 1-15, and add system interchange improvements; a new WB lane at Tustin Avenue; and a potential new interchange or overcrossing at Fairmont Boulevard. Three projects for implementation by 2022 include the SR-241/SR-91 HOV/HOT direct connector, a significant expansion of Metrolink service and station improvements, and SR-91 improvements between SR-57 and SR-55. OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans will be initiating preliminary planning activities for these projects to ensure readiness when local, state, or federal funding becomes available. Consequently, there may be opportunities to advance these projects if additional funding is made available. Projects for implementation by 2022 would cost approximately $900 million to $1.2 billion. Some of these projects may become components of post-2025/2030 projects. :" Projects for post-2025/2030 implementation focus on longer -lead time projects and include: SR- 55/SR-91 Interchange Improvements, an Elevated 4-Lane Facility (MIS Corridor A) from SR-241 to 1-15, a 4-Lane Facility (MIS Corridor B) from SR-241/Laguna Freeway (State Route 133) to I-15/Cajalco Road, and the Anaheim to Ontario International Airport High Speed Rail. The $200 million dollar interchange project and the other three, multi -billion dollar potential projects require a significant amount of planning, design, and future policy and public input. In some cases, these projects may include previous projects as project components, Table 1 SR-91 Implementation Plan Projects Project project Summary No. By Year2011 1 North Main Street Corona Metrolink Station Parking Structure 2 Metrolink Short -Term Expansion Plan 3 Express Bus Improvements - Orange County to Riverside County 4 Eastbound Lane Addition from SR-241 to SR-71 Cost (SW 25.0 35A 9.5 74.5 ; SUBTOTAL 144.4` By Year 2015 5 Widen SR-91 between SR-55 and SR-241 by Adding a 511, GP lane in Each Direction 6 SR-711SR-91 Interchange Improvements 104.2' 117.5; 7 Widen SR-91 by One GP Lane in Each Direction East of 1,542 SR-241, CD Roads and Direct Connectors at I-151SR-91, Extension of Express Lanes to 1-15, and System Interchange Improvements 8 SR-91 WB Lane at Tustin Avenue , 9 Fairmont Boulevard Improvements SUBTOTAL 94.8 44 -76 1,903 - 1,935 10 11 12 By Year 2022 SR-2411SR-91 HOWHOT Connector Metrolink Service and Station Improvements 1 SR-91 between SR-57 and SR-55 SUBTOTAL t50 = r 440 335 417 902  1192 By Past-2025/2030 13 SR-551SR-91Interchange 'Improvements 14 Elevated 4-Lane Facility (MIS Corridor A) from SR-241 to 1-15 15 4-Lane Facility (MIS Corridor B) from SR-2411SR-133 to 1-151Cajalco Road -16 Anaheim to Ontario International Airport High Speed Rail TBD SUBTOTAL ,720 960; 8,880+ such that all projects may not be implemented within this project summary. Traffic Analysis For the 2009 Plan, the traffic analysis for major SR-91 capacity projects has been updated from the 2008 Plan and the westerly project study limit has been revised to include SR-57. This analysis used the latest freeway operations software model available from UC Berkeley and 2008 traffic data. This freeway operations model 2009 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 3 310 provides a better depiction of actual travel delays experienced by motorists compared to traditional travel demand models. The model can be used to analyze freeway bottlenecks sometimes neglected in traditional travel demand models. This approach is especially important given high SR-91 traffic volumes and the potential for relatively few vehicles to significantly slow down traffic. For example, a minor freeway merging area can cause many vehicles to slow, cascading delay through the traffic stream, and suddenly both speed and volume rapidly decrease for major segments of the freeway. The operations analysis quantified travel time savings for WB morning and EB afternoon conditions for the following major capacity enhancing projects: ❖ Eastbound lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71 by 2011 (Project 4). ❖ New lanes in both directions from SR-55 to SR-241 by 2014 (Project 5). New lanes in both directions from SR-241 to 1-15 by 2015 (Project 7). • Eastbound lane between SR-57 and SR-55 by 2022 (Project 12). New capacity provided by Corridor A and Corridor B by post-2025/2030 as recommended by the 2006 MIS (Projects 14 and 15). The results indicate that the WB morning travel times increase for 2011 as there are no planned WB improvements, but by 2015 and 2022 there are significant travel time improvements compared with the 2011 results. Results for 2030 illustrate travel time increases without Corridors A and B, whereas the inclusion of Corridors A and B results in greatly reduced travel times. The aftemoon travel times are slightly decreased for the EB SR-91 project planned for 2011, whereas 2015 and 2022 improvements will significantly decrease EB travel speeds. These improvements will help manage the future growth for the SR-91 corridor. The current design of the SR-55/SR-91 interchange limits the ability to move traffic into north and central Orange County via SR-55, and significant future vehicle delays may result without major interchange improvements and downstream capacity increases or diversion to other corridors. The introduction of Corridors A and B by post-2025/2030 offers the potential capacity to manage future SR-91 traffic demand in both directions. While both of these corridors are still concepts, they provide substantial relief to EB and WB traffic congestion in the future. Further feasibility studies will determine if one or both concepts move forward in the project development process. The charts below describe the travel time benefits by year including these various project concepts. The 2030 scenario shows travel time without the Corridor A and B improvements.

Recently Completed Construction/Improvement Projects As of May 2009, the following physical improvements have been constructed/implemented: " r Repaved and sealed pavement surfaces, replaced raised channelizers, and restriped lanes on the 91 Express Lanes. " EB SR-91 restripe and median barrier reconstruction project that removed the CHP enforcement area and extended the EB auxiliary lane from SR-71 to the Serfas Club Drive off -ramp. " : Express Bus improvements are implemented for the Galleria at Tyler to South Coast Metro route. " 3 WB auxiliary lane extension between the County Line and SR-241. This project eliminated the lane drop at the 91 Express Lanes and extended the existing auxiliary lane from the County Line to SR-241 in the westbound direction. This improvement minimized the traffic delays at the lane drop area, resulting in improved vehicle progression. " WB restripe project extended the auxiliary lane between SR-71 and the County Line resulting in a new continuous auxiliary lane between SR-71 SR-241. V' Safety Improvements at the Truck Scales. Existing shoulders were improved, lanes were re -striped, illumination improved, and signage was modified into and out of the EB facilities. V' Green River Road overcrossing replacement. These projects provided enhanced freeway capacity and improved mobility for one of the most congested segments of the freeway. In addition, there are two projects that are currently in the project development phase that have a direct impact upon SR-91 widening projects. The first is the $2 billion U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Santa Ana River Mainstem (SARM) improvement project that provides flood protection from the recently improved Prado Dam (near SR-71) to the Pacific Ocean. As part of the Corps' project, existing riverbanks have been improved due to the increased capacity of the Prado Dam outlet works, which can now release up to 30,000 cfs compared to the previous facility capacity of 10,000 cfs. The only remaining segment of the Santa Ana River to be improved is Reach 9, which includes areas along SR-91 from the Coal Canyon Wildlife Corridor Crossing to SR-71. SR-91 project teams have coordinated with the Corps; Caltrans; and other federal, regional, and local agencies in order to accommodate future SR-91 improvements by the Corps bank protection project within Reach 9 by relocating the Santa Ana River while it would have been otherwise disturbed by the original Corps project to protect -in -place the riverbank protection for SR-91. This will greatly enhance the ability of Caltrans and other regional transportation agencies to implement many of the SR-91 improvement projects listed herein. The Corps currently has 95% design plans completed for the improvements and are awaiting federal stimulus package funding allocation and disbursement prior to construction. 2009 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 5 312 The other project with a direct impact to SR-91 is the $100 million Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI) sewer trunk line relocation. The existing SARI line is within the Santa Ana River floodplain and is in jeopardy of failure due to scour from the potential increased flood releases by the aforementioned Corps project. In order to relocate the proposed 48-inch diameter SARI line outside of the floodplain, which is immediately adjacent to SR-91, highway R/W needs to be relinquished to the Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) for location of the SARI line. SR-91 project teams have coordinated with the OCFCD; Ca!trans; and other federal, regional, and local agencies in order to accommodate planned SR-91 improvements within the R/W subsequent to relinquishment. This project initiated the preliminary engineering phase in early 2009 and is scheduled to complete construction by summer 2012. Recently Completed PSR's and other Reports In addition to the physical improvements in the corridor, there are several reports and PSR's that are completed, in draft form, or anticipated to be approved that identify improvements that will provide improved mobility. The reports and PSR's include: • Project Study Report "On State Route 91 Between the SR-91/SR-55 Interchange and the SR-91/SR-241 Interchange in Orange County" (April 2004). ❖ MIS —Final Project Report: Locally Preferred Strategy Report (January 2006). ❖ Project Study Report "On Route 91 from State Route 241 in Orange County to Pierce Street in the City of Riverside in Riverside County" (October 2006). ❖ Renewed Measure M Transportation Investment Plan (November 2006). • Project Study Report for SR-711SR-91 Interchange (December 2006). • RCTC 10-Year Western County Highway Delivery Plan (December 2006). • Renewed Measure M Early Action Plan, approved August2007. ❖ SR-91 from SR-57 to SR-55 Feasibility Study (anticipated by May 2009). ❖ 91 Express Lanes Extension and State Route 241 Connector Feasibility Study (March 2009). ❖ SR-91/Fairmont Boulevard Feasibility Study (anticipated by June 2009). ❖ Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for Eastbound SR-91 lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71 (2009). ❖ Renewed Measure M Strategic Plan (anticipated by June 2009). Updates from the 2008 SR-91 Implementation Plan In addition, to the improvements and progress noted above, the following projects that were included in the 2008 SR-91 Implementation Plan have been modified or dropped for the 2009 Plan: ❖ The Green River Road interchange improvements have been completed and the project is deleted from the 2009 Plan. ❖ The Fairmont Boulevard improvements (Project 9) alternative for drop ramps into the 91 Express Lanes has been deleted. A traditional interchange or overcrossing altemative are still included as viable options. • An eastbound SR-91 widening project from SR-57 to SR-55 (Project 12) has been added for 2009. :• The SR-55/SR-91 interchange improvements (Project 13) schedule has been changed from 2020 completion to post-2025/2030. • The 2020 horizon year has been updated to 2022 to capture projects that will be implemented before 2025. • Various project costs and schedules have been updated from the 2008 Plan based on continued project development. 2009 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 6 • • • 313 " " SECTION 2: Implementation Plan OVERVIEW The 2009 Plan describes projects, implementation schedules, key consideration, benefits, and costs (in 2009 dollars, or as noted) for major projects through post- 2025/2030. Most of the projects identified in this Implementation Plan are based on the MIS that was completed in January 2006. The projects are presented based on potential implementation schedules and priorities established in the MIS. The schedules for implementation of the packages of projects include 2011, 2015, 2022, and post-2025/2030. The 2011 and 2015 projects are capable of being implemented through the project development process with minimal to moderate environmental constraints. Some of the longer -range projects for 2022 and post-2025/2030 require more significant planning and environmental assessment prior to design. Each of the project improvements includes an estimate of project schedules. It is important to note that implementing various time saving measures, such as design -build or contractor incentives for early completion, may potentially reduce project schedules. The implementation phases are defined as follows: V' Conceptual Engineering = Pre -Project Study Report (Pre-PSR) - Conceptual planning and engineering for project scoping and feasibility prior to initiating the PSR phase. V' Preliminary Engineering = Project Study Report (PSR) - Conceptual planning and engineering phase that allows for programming of funds. V' Environmental = Project Report/Environmental Documentation (PRIED) - The detailed concept design that provides environmental clearance for the project and programs for final design and right of way acquisition. The duration for this phase is typically 2-3 years. V' Design = Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) - Provide detailed design to contractors for construction bidding and implementation. s" Construction = The project has completed construction and will provide congestion relief to motorists. The intent of these implementation plan project packages is to provide an action list for OCTA, RCTC and Ca!trans to pursue in the project development process or for initiating further studies. Figure 2-1- SR-91 Project Study Area from SR-57 to 1-15 2009 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 7 314 By Year 2011 The first set of projects will be completed by 2011 and includes four improvements at a total cost of approximately $144 million (in 2009 dollars). The projects include a new parking structure at the North Main Street Corona Metrolink Station, Metrolink service improvements, Express Bus improvements, and the EB SR-91 lane addition from near SR-241 to SR-71. Most of these projects are in the process of preliminary engineering, final design, construction, or procurement and implementation. These projects are recommended for the first few years of the Plan and will provide mobility improvements to the corridor when implemented. Most of these near term projects provide immediate operational benefits with a minimum of effort required relative to environmental documentation and Right -of -Way constraints.

More trains are planned on the Inland Empire - Orange County (IEOC) line that currently runs between San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties as well as the "91 Line" that goes from the Inland Empire to Los Angeles via Orange County, paralleling SR-91_ Currently, 16 trains a day run on the IEOC line and nine trains on the 91 Lane for a total of 25 (lady trains_ The short -tern expansion adds four addtional IEOC trains and four additional 91 Line trains by 2010 for a total of 33 daily trains, subject to negotiations with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), ROTC, and Los Argos County Metropolitan Transportation Authordy (LACMTA). The planned short-term expansion is necessary to accommodate population and employment growth in the region as well as make the current service more convenient Key Considerations Capital costs necessary for this expansion includes the purchase of engines and coaches to operate the new service_ OCTA costs are estimated at $354 million. The long -lean plan (by 2020) adds more service and requires a significant capital investment, incltxiing an addtional station in Placentia. Coordination has been ongoing with the Metrolink extension studies (see also Project #11 for long-term details). Benefits Enables development of expanded Metrolink Service and improves efficiency, which will contribute to congestion relief on SR-91.

City of Anaheim utilities are within close proximity of the proposed widening section. Coordination may be required with SR55ISR-91 interchange improvements (Project #12). Widening of the Santa Ana River bridge is required for all alternatives. Coordination will be required with SR-55ISR-91 kmprovements (Project #13), which includes a proposed WB SR-91 to SB SR-55 flyover connector. Coordination with the City of Anaheim will be required for potential widening of Tustin Avenue andior the WB SR-91 Off -Ramp. A SR-91 Feasibility Study bun SR-57 to SR-55 was initiated in 2008 and will evaluate improvements from Lakeview Avenue through Tustin Avenue. Benefits The project would reduce or eliminate operational problems and deficiencies on this section of WB SR-91 including weaving and merging maneuvers. This project would also address choke -point conditions, which are caused primarily by extensive weaving between the NB SR-55 to WB SR-91 connector and the WB SR-91 off -ramp to TUsbn Avenue_ Current Status Preliminary engineering was completed and approved by Caftans_ The environmental phase was irtitiated in early-2009_ The project received $91.43M in 2008 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Augmentation funding.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 1989 Measure A program includes a state highway element that provides 15% of the Coachella Valley area's Measure A funds to project improvements on State Route 86 and Highway 111. In July 2003, the Commission approved $12 million in Measure A funding for nine projects through June 30, 2009; however, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) had allocated Agenda Item SF 336 $13.828 million for the projects and indicated that the shortfall of $1.828 million would be covered by CVAG Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) or other Measure A funds, if necessary. In 2007, CVAG requested and obtained updated cost and completion schedules for the approved projects that had not yet been completed. Based on the revised information, CVAG requested additional funding for the remaining projects of $12,376,810 for a total Measure A funding of the nine projects of $24,376,810. Revenue forecasts in 2007 indicated that sufficient funds would be available for this request, which included covering the shortfall that existed in 2003, plus $9.1 million in unallocated funds. In December 2007, the Commission approved the additional funding of $12,376,810 and required the jurisdictions to submit requests for a time extension after June 30, 2009 for separate Commission approval. Since that Commission action, several events have taken place resulting in a housing/subprime mortgage crisis, financial market/credit crisis, and slowdown in the economy. As a result, the Commission has decreased its revenue projections for FY 2008/09 and FY 2009/10 that have impacted available 1989 Measure A Coachella Valley highway funds. Three local agencies are requesting extensions for 1989 Measure A highway funding in the Coachella Valley as these projects along Highway 111 have not completed construction. The projects are as follows: • City of Cathedral City bridge widening project from West Cathedral Canyon channel to East Palm Canyon Drive was funded in the amount of $4.3 million. The project is scheduled for award on May 27, 2009, and the construction period is approximately 18 months. The estimated unexpended balance at June 30, 2009 is $4,001,500. • City of Indio improvements from Jefferson Street to Madison Street was funded in the amount of $7.2 million. This project is under construction and currently is two-thirds complete. The estimated unexpended balance at June 30, 2009 is approximately $1.264 million. • City of La Quinta improvements from Washington Street to west city limits was funded in the amount of $2.155 million. The city of La Quinta plans to award the project on June 5, 2009, and the construction period is approximately 90 days. The estimated unexpended balance at June 30, 2009 is approximately $1,989,600. Agenda Item 8F • • 337 " " While staff recommends approval of extending the termination date to allow expenditure reimbursement for these projects to occur beyond June 30, 2009, staff projects that there will be a shortfall of available Measure A funds for these three projects in FY 2009/10 of $536,200. Accordingly, staff also recommends that the Measure A funding for these projects be reduced. Considering that substantial construction of the city of Indio's project has been completed, staff does not recommend reducing the funding for this project. Since the other two projects are not currently under construction, staff recommends that the city of Cathedral City and city of La Quinta projects be reduced by $357,600 and $178,600, respectively, based on the proportionate share of the existing agreement funding amounts. Staff has discussed the anticipated shortfall in project funding with CVAG staff. It appears that CVAG staff is willing to request formal action by CVAG to fund the shortfall with Coachella Valley TUMF or other available funds.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its March 11, 2009 meeting, the Commission allocated federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding in the amount of $4.482 million to the SR-60/Valley Way interchange. In order to fully fund the project, an additional $5.5 million is needed. The SR-60/Valley Way interchange is included in the 1989 Measure A Local Circulation Interchange program for $7 million. An allocation of $5.5 million for this project is well within the amount of funds programmed for this project. The SR-60/Valley Way interchange is scheduled to advertise in summer 2009 and complete construction in late 2010 or early 2011.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The 1989 Measure A program included local circulation interchange funds for the SR-91 /Van Buren Boulevard interchange project. In April 2007, the Commission approved local circulation interchange funds for the interchange project in the amount of $7.616 million. The SR-91 /Van Buren Boulevard interchange project is scheduled to advertise in summer 2009 and complete construction in late 2010 - early 2011. The total cost of construction is approximately $34 million and funding is proposed as follows: Funding Source Millions State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)/ American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) $16.101 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality/Surface Transportation Program $2.181 1989 Meas.

Earlier this year, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) deferred all STIP allocation requests due to the State budget impasse. However, the CTC is now approving STIP allocations. Commission staff requests the flexibility to program STIP or ARRA funds for the SR-91 /Van Buren Boulevard interchange based on project delivery timing and availability of funds. If the STIP funds are allocated instead of ARRA funds for this project, staff will report to the Commission and identify construction projects that would be ready to obligate the ARRA funds for Commission action. Staff recommends extending the reimbursement of 1989 Measure A funds expiring on June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2011, and, as stated above, requests authorization from the Commission to reprogram state, federal, and local funds based on project delivery and funding availability.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Measure A requires each recipient of local streets and roads monies to annually provide to the Commission a five-year CIP detailing how those funds are to be expended. Any revisions to the adopted plan must be returned to the Commission for approval. The CIP for Temecula was approved by the Commission at its June 11, 2008, meeting. Because of the current economic downturn and revenue shortfalls, Temecula is requesting an amendment to the FY 2008/09 Measure A CIP to reduce Measure A funds for the pavement rehabilitation program from $3 million to $2.325 million and to transfer the remaining $675,000 to a FY 2008/09 citywide street maintenance program. This amendment will allow Temecula to perform preventative maintenance on certain roadways rather than the complete rehabilitation that was planned while staying within the constraints of the available revenue.

The purpose of this revision is to transfer $675,000 from the existing Pavement Rehabilitation Program to our Citywide Street Maintenance Program for FY 2008- 09. Due to the economic downturn and shortfall in revenue sources, the transfer of these funds is necessary to uphold the City's commitment to its ongoing street maintenance and right-of-way responsibilities. As shown on the attached Table, the transfer of these funds from the Pavement Rehabilitation Project will support specific elements of our ongoing Citywide Street Maintenance Program, which is added as Item No. 6 in the revised FY 2008-09 Project Funding Schedule. The listed maintenance and repair functions are currently under contract and are conducted within the City's right-of-way areas. All other FY 2008-09 Project Funding Items and Schedules remain the same. Please review the information and let me know if you have any further questions. I can be reached at (951) 694-6411.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, 2% of the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenue is made available for use on bicycle and pedestrian facility projects through the Commission's SB 821 program. This is a discretionary program administered by the Commission. There are three steps to carry out the program: 1. All cities and the county are notified of the SB 821 program estimate of available funding and are requested to submit project proposals. The Commission's SB 821 program policies, project application, and selection criteria are also provided with the notification. 2. The Commission's SB 821 evaluation committee, comprised of members of the Commission's Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees, meets to review and rank the project applications using the evaluation criteria adopted by the Commission and recommends projects and funding amounts to the Commission for approval. 3. The Commission reviews the Committee's recommendations and approves a program of bicycle and pedestrian projects for funding. The agencies then have 24 months to complete the projects. Any projects not completed using local forces or awarded a construction contract within the 24 months will be deleted from the program and the funds will be reprogrammed in the next fiscal year. There will be no time extensions granted unless the project is part of a larger, federally funded project or a project, requiring coordination with another public agency that has been delayed beyond the city's or county's control. Agenda Item 8J 346 DISCUSSION: In July 2007, the Commission awarded $1,591,765 to fund 16 projects as part of its SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program. The agencies have until June 30, 2009, to complete the projects. Temecula was allocated $132,000 for construction of the Santa Gertrudis Creek pedestrian/bicycle bridge overcrossing project. This project has also been awarded with federal funds as part of the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program and therefore must comply with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental regulations. Per Temecula, all the necessary documents requested by Caltrans have been submitted and the preliminary engineering phase of work is 95% complete (Attachment 1). Temecula anticipates environmental approval from Caltrans within the next two to three months. Upon approval, Temecula will proceed with project plans and specifications, advertisement, and award a construction contract for the completion of the project. Temecula is requesting a 12 month extension to June 30, 2010, for completion of the project.

In addition to SB821 funding, we have been awarded federal funding in the amount of $425,520 from the Safe Route to School (SRTS) program. Therefore we are required to comply with NEPA environmental regulations and have submitted all the necessary documents requested by Caltrans, Local Assistance for their final review. The preliminary engineering phase of work is 95% complete and we anticipate environmental approval from Caimans within the next 3 to 4 months. Upon approval we will proceed with P S & E, advertisement and award of our construction contract for the completion of our project. As indicated above, the project is progressing and nearly ready for contract award. Your consideration in extending the time to claim approved funds will allow us to move forward with the construction of this much needed pedestrian facility.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its May 2009 meeting, the Commission approved a contract amendment with David Evans Associates to complete the final design for the I-215/SR-74 interchange project in the city of Perris. Staff has received 95% plans for review and expects 100% plans in September 2009. The project is being designed to and will be constructed in accordance with Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards. Staff has received approval from Caltrans and FHWA for the Commission to continue to be the lead agency for the construction phase of this project and expects to advertise for construction bids in the late fall of 2009. The construction phase for this project is currently funded by State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Measure A, Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF), and a federal earmark grant. Staff is proposing to retain a consultant to represent the Commission in the performance of construction management services including, but not limited to assistance with the bid process and evaluation, contract administration, coordination of construction with Caltrans and the city of Perris, quality assurance inspection and material testing, surveying, project controls and reporting, review and recommendation of progress payments, development of public information and materials, and analysis of potential claims. Agenda Item 8K 350 Staff will return to the Commission with a negotiated contract with the selected firm at its October 2009 Commission meeting.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its July 11, 2007 meeting, the Commission approved the Right -of -Way Policies and Procedures manual as policy guidelines for the acquisition and sale of right-of-way, appraisal of real property, relocation of displaced individuals and businesses, and management of Commission -owned real property. During the recently -concluded internal audit, the review of right-of-way processes resulted in findings that represented opportunities for improvement. The following minor changes in the manual were recommended to more accurately reflect ongoing processes and to lead to more effective compliance with current regulatory requirements. 1) Section 6-4.2 granted authority to the Project Development Director to approve a settlement when the difference between the approved just compensation and the proposed settlement is no more than 10% in excess of the offer or no more than $100,000 in excess of the offer. This responsibility has now been assumed by the Project Delivery Director, and the manual should be amended to reflect that change. Agenda Item 8L 352 2) Section 6-6.2 states that it is the responsibility of the Commission to report to the IRS any real estate acquisitions greater than $599. Since the actual process is for the escrow company to report to the IRS, the manual will be amended to state that the escrow company will report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the Commission. 3) Section 7-7.9 contains references to a document described as a Moving Cost Agreement, which has been replaced by another document currently known as the Relocation Claim Form. All references to the Moving Cost Agreement should be replaced with Relocation Claim Form. Staff requests approval of the revisions to the Right -of -Way Policies and Procedures manual implementing the recommendations recently made by the internal auditors.

WHEREAS, the recently completed internal audit conducted by Authority of the Commission resulted in findings of opportunities to improve right of way procedures as documented in the Right -of -Way Policies and Procedures Manual through amendments to reflect current practices and enhance regulatory compliance; NOW, THEREFORE, the Riverside County Transportation Commission does hereby resolve as follows: Section 1. Sections 6-4.2, 6-6.2, and 7-7.9 of the Right -of -Way Policies and Procedures Manual shall be revised as per the attached to reflect current conditions and processes.

Section 6-4.2 is hereby revised to read as follows: 6-4.2 Settlement Authority a. The Projectpelivery Director is authorized to approve a settlement when the difference between the approved Just Compensation and the proposed settlement is no more than 10% in excess of the offer or no more than $100,000 of the offer. Section 6-6.2 Is hereby revised to read as follows: 2. 1099-S Reporting Procedure a. Transactions Reported Deleted: Development } - - - _ Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 1 The RCTC through the escrow company acting in its behalf, is responsible for reporting to the IRS real estate acquisitions in excess of $599. This reporting includes all acquisitions by either negotiated settlement or by condemnation. Specifically, the following must be reported: 3. Section 7-7.2 is hereby revised to read as follows: 7-7.9 Business, Farm and Nonprofit Organization Moving Cost Payments a. General Owners of displaced businesses, farm operations and nonprofit organizations can either employ commercial movers to relocate their personal property, conduct self -move, or have a combined commercial and self -move. Moves that involve large moving cost payments must be monitored, at both the displacement and replacement sites, by the Relocation Agent, to the extent necessary to assure that the personal property involved was actually moved (at the relocatee's expense) to their remaining or replacement property and that the moving cost claim is reasonable and accurate. Relocatees are required to give advance written notice of the date the move will begin. Failure to Deleted: 2 Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 355 provide the written notice, or to permit the Relocation Agent to monitor both at the displacement and replacement sites, can cause forfeiture of moving payment eligibility. On -premise monitoring may be waived by the ROW Manager in cases of non -complicated moves. When the requirement is waived, a justification must be documented in the Case File. 1. Multi -Family and Single -Family Fumished Rental Units The owners of furnished multi -family dwellings or furnished single-family dwellings, which they do not occupy, can be reimbursed for the cost of moving such furnishings as a routine business move. In an effort to minimize administrative burdens in the relocation process, it is permissible to reimburse the cost of moving the personal property for these types of businesses using the moving schedule. The businesses would be additionally eligible for other related moving costs such as reestablishment payment. 2. Entire Displacement — Partial Acquisitions If the majority of a business property or farm operation is being acquired as right of way, and/or if the right of way acquisition is so severed that the business or farm operation cannot be continued, the owner can be paid for moving all personal property used in connection with the business or farm operation including items located outside of the right of way acquisition, provided that such items are moved within a reasonable time after acquisition, normally by the end of the relocatee's authorized possession of the acquired area unless an extended time period is agreed upon in writing between the RCTC and relocatee. The Case file must be documented to show why the entire business or farm operation must be relocated when a partial acquisition is involved. 3. Two or More Owners of Personal Property Involved In instances where several different persons or firms own personal property located on business or farm real property being acquired by the RCTC, each owner is entitled to the cost of moving his/her items of personal property. Each must file a separate claim. • • 356 " b. Commercial Mover Moves in this category include all situations where the qualified owners of displaced businesses, farm operation and nonprofit organizations employ someone to move their personal property from real estate acquired to a replacement site and claim reimbursement for their actual and reasonable moving expenses. Applicable related moving expenses paid by the relocatee are reimbursable under this moving cost payment option. If the relocatee moves more than 50 miles, the payment will be based on the prorated portion of the moving costs that would have been applicable to a 50 mile move. If there is a need for specialized moving equipment and/or expertise, it is permissible for the owner to employ two or more commercial movers. It is also permissible for such owners to conduct a move by employing a commercial mover to move part of their personal property and move the balance by self -move. 1. Moving Cost Bids Available The following procedure is applicable when eligible owners of business, farm operations and nonprofit organizations elect this moving cost payment option and it is practical to obtain prior moving cost bids from qualified moving firms: Step One: Obtain an inventory from the relocatee showing the items of personal property to be moved. It is permissible for small items to be grouped into "lots" or to be `lumped" together in some other type of identifiable unit such as specific number of bins, boxes, barrels, etc. The Relocation Agent must make an on -site inspection of the items involved and assure that the inventory is accurate. The Case Files must be documented to show the inspection. Inventories should be prepared either (a) at or near the time of actual move, or (b) at or near the time that the RCTC acquires the parcel, whichever occurs first. Inventories must be submitted by the relocatee and a replacement site selected prior to commencing the next step. Step Two: The Relocation Agent, working in concert with the business, must create moving specifications insuring that there is a meeting of the minds how the personal property 357 will be disconnected (as necessary), packed, disconnected, moved, reconnected and unpacked. The Relocation Agent must obtain at least two (2) moving cost estimates from qualified movers based on the inventory. Relocatees must be given an opportunity to concur in the selection of moving firms who will prepare the bids. If the lowest bid appears to be unreasonable, the Relocation Agent must obtain additional bid(s) to assure that the }Relocation Claim Form will be based on an acceptable amount. It is expected that bids will be provided without cost; however, with prior approval of the ROW Program Manager, movers can be compensated for preparing bids for specific moves. Copies of all bids must be retained in the Case File. Step Three: Submit copies of the bids to the relocatee together with a copy of a,Relocation Claim Formprepared by the Relocation Agent. (See Section 8-7.8 d. for minimum standards of a ,Relocation Claim Form.) Advise the relocatee to complete his/her p portion of the agreement (reflecting the low bid) and return both copies to the RCTC. Step Four: The Relocation Claim Form when received by the RCTC from the relocatee, should be carefully reviewed, and if found proper, completed and signed by the ROW Program Manager. A copy is to be returned to the relocatee and the original retained in the Case File. Step Five: After the approved ,Relocation Claim Form is _ returned to the relocatee, he/she should provide a 5-day written moving date notice (unless waived by RCTC) and cause the move to be completed. Step Six: After the move is completed, the relocatee must provide the RCTC an inventory of the items of personal property that were actually moved to his/her remaining or replacement property. The post -move inventory must contain a statement that all of the items listed therein were actually moved from the project location. Step Seven: The Relocation Agent must conduct an on -site review of the post -move inventory to attest that is it reasonably accurate and that does not contain any items of real property that were retained and moved by the relocatee. Deleted: moving cost agreement Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement Deleted: Move Cost Agreement 1 Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement • Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement 358 " " " If the post -move inventory is substantially the same as the pre -move inventory, the Relocatee can be paid the actual moving costs pursuant to the ,Relocation Claim Form. Eligible documented incidental expenses may likewise be paid. Step Eight: The relocatee must file his/her claim for reimbursement within the 18-month period. 2. Moving Cost Bids Are Not Available If it is not practical to obtain advance moving cost bids due to the complexity of a move, the relocatee can be authorized by the ROW Program Manager to conduct the move without them. When the requirement for obtaining bids is waived due to the complexity of the move, the Case File must be documented and state the justification therefor. In such unique cases, a Move Cost Agreement must be prepared by the Relocation Agent and agreed to by the relocatee. The same requirements for a Move Cost Agreement apply with the obvious exception to an agreed cost of the move. If a business refuses to agree to sign a reasonable Move Cost Agreement, RCTC will not reimburse it for any costs associated with the move. a. Self -Moves Qualified owners of any displaced businesses, farms or nonprofit organizations have the option of conducting a self -move. Under this option, the relocatees will move their personal property and will not employ a commercial mover to conduct the move. 1. Moving Cost Estimates are Available The following procedure is applicable if estimates can be obtained for the amount that would have been charged by a commercial mover for conducting the move. Step One: Relocatee must prepare an inventory of the items of personal property that must be moved as a result of the right of way acquisition. Step Two: Relocatee must advise the Relocation Agent, in writing, of his/her intent to conduct a self -move and { Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement 359 request that the Relocation Agent obtain moving cost estimates based on the inventory. Step Three: Relocation Agent must make an on -site inspection of the items to be moved. Assure that none of the items listed in the inventory is included in the real estate appraisal as real property. Relocation Agent, working with the business, will create specifications for the move of the personal property. Step Four: The Relocation Agent must obtain at least two (2) moving cost estimates from commercial movers who are qualified to conduct the move, if the moving cost is expected to exceed $2,500. If the cost of the move is expected to be $2,500 or less, one estimate covering the cost of the move can be obtained. Bids should not be obtained before the relocatee has selected a replacement site so that actual mileage can be used. (50-mile rule applies). Copies of all bids must be retained in the Case File. Step Five: The Relocation Agent will prepare a,Relocation_ _ - Claim Form in compliance with previous sections of this manual. The relocatee must sign the,claim form and forward _ a signed ,claim form to RCTC. The ROW Manager must _ review, approve and sign the plaim form,. Step Six: The ROW Manager will return ap approved copy of the Relocation Claim Form to the relocates and the Relocation Agent. The relocatee should provide the 5-day written moving date notice and complete the move. Step Seven: After the move is completed, the relocatee must present an inventory of the personal property actually moved. The post -move inventory must contain a statement that all of the items listed therein were actually moved from the project site. Step Eight: The Relocation Agent must conduct an on -site review of the post -move inventory to assure that it is reasonably accurate and that it does not contain any items of real property that were retained and moved by the relocatee. • Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement Deleted: agreement Deleted: agreement Deleted: agreement Deleted: , which should he revi completed and signed by the ROW Program Manager Deleted: fully executed Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement • 360 If the post -move inventory is substantially the same as the pre -move inventory, the relocatee may be paid the amount of the low moving cost bid, as reflected in the ,Relocation Claim Form without presenting additional documentation.

Moving Cost Bids Not Available Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement If due to the complexity of the move, it is not practical to obtain moving cost bids or estimates, the relocatee can be authorized by the ROW Program Manager to conduct the move without bids. The relocatee must be reimbursed for his/her actual, reasonable and documented moving cost expenditure, not to exceed the cost of a 50-mile move. The minimum requirements of a ,Relocation Claim Form are _ _ - { Deleted: Moving Cost Agreement ) applicable and because of the inability to secure estimates for the business' self -move the,Relocation Claim Form must _ - { Deleted: Move Cost Agreement ) additionally include: An estimate of the time the owner and employees of the firm anticipate they will need to conduct the move and an agreed upon hourly rate for the owners and his/her employees. Hourly costs of equipment supplied by the business during the move will be included in the Move Agreement. Equipment charges for equipment rented for the move must be supported by receipts. Reimbursement of rental equipment will be limited to the actual out of pocket expense. 361 RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: June 10, 2009 TO:- Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Min Saysay, Right -of -Way Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Amendments with Zamiski Construction and Real Estate Consulting Services, Inc., for Property Maintenance Services STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve Agreement No. 07-51-089-20, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 07-51-089-00, with Zamiski Construction to exercise the first one-year option extension to expire on December 31, 2010; 2) Approve Agreement No. 07-52-088-11, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 07-52-088-00, with Real Estate Consulting and Services, Inc. to exercise the first one-year option extension to expire on December 31, 2010; 3) Approve additional funding in the combined amount of $950,000 for the services to be provided by Zamiski Construction and Real Estate Consulting and Services, Inc.; and 4) Authorize the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreements on behalf of the Commission. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its January 10, 2007 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 07-51-089-00 with Zamiski Construction and Agreement No. 07-52-088-00 with Real Estate Consulting Services, Inc., to provide property maintenance services for a combined not to exceed cost of $630,000. The term approved for each contract was for three years with two one-year options, to be exercised at the discretion of the Commission. Property maintenance services include weed abatement by mowing or discing, fence replacement and repairs, removal of effects of vandalism, trash removal and removal of other items such as debris and pieces of furniture left by homeless encampments, and coordinating with law enforcement personnel in the legal removal of homeless persons. Work is generated as a result of an abatement notice from the local jurisdiction, information from the sheriff and local police departments, or from staff inspection of the parcel(s), and work is assigned on a Agenda Item 8M 362 rotating basis. The contractor is requested to inspect the parcel to be cleaned and abated, and to submit a schedule and cost proposal. At the same time, Commission and Bechtel staff independently inspect the parcel and prepare an independent estimate as to schedule and cost. Hourly rates are then applied to the independent estimate and compared to the contractor's proposal. If the cost proposal from the contractor is significantly higher than staff/Bechtel's cost estimate, staff negotiates with the contractor for a lower price. If the contractor cannot reduce its cost proposal, staff asks the other contractor if they can perform the work at the independent cost estimate. If neither contractor can perform the work at the independent cost estimate, work is assigned to the contractor with the lowest cost proposal and a task order is issued. Staff then takes pictures of the parcel before and after work is performed. Commission and Bechtel staff inspect the parcel to ensure that work is performed in accordance with the task order, before the contractor's invoice is paid. At the time the agreements were executed, the Commission owned approximately 743 acres of which 301 acres required regular maintenance. These properties were acquired by the Commission for future highway and rail projects. During the two-year period that has since transpired, the Commission acquired additional properties, consisting of approximately 157 acres of vacant properties that require maintenance, resulting in an increase of over 52% in acreage requiring regular property maintenance services. Maintaining these properties in the coming years will require a significant increase in the amount of resources previously allocated for this purpose. Based on prior years' expenditures and future demand in maintaining and servicing these properties, staff recommends the Commission allocate additional combined funding of $950,000 for these agreements to compensate the contractors for providing the services needed to maintain the Commission's properties in a safe condition and to comply with all applicable local regulations and code requirements. Staff further recommends that the Commission exercise the first of the two one-year options that will extend the term of both agreements up to December 31, 2010.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its May 13, 2009 meeting, the Commission directed staff to complete an environmental impact report (EIR) for the PVL project that would comply with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The Commission action was taken to address public comments and provide added information to the public regarding project details. One advantage in transitioning from a initial study/mitigated negative declaration environmental process to an EIR was that it would also give the Commission an opportunity re-evaluate decisions regarding station locations and the timing of their development. The Commission will soon release a notice of preparation (NOP) for the EIR. The law requires that the document include a project description which in this case would include the identification of station locations. The purpose of this staff report is to obtain clear Commission direction on the status of a potential rail station at UCR. The possibility of building a station at UCR has always attracted considerable scrutiny and concern. There are a number of factors that make it an attractive option given UCR's standing as a premier academic institution that will continue to grow. In addition, UCR is an important employment center that will likely attract Agenda Item 8N 367 additional employers in the immediate area. Unfortunately, the area for a rail station is located near a residential neighborhood that has often been impacted by the growth of the overall community and the campus. Public comments as part of the Commission's environmental outreach process earlier this year included a number of concerns regarding the location of station near the campus. The concerns included parking, noise, and mitigation issues. On the opening day of service for the PVL service, the Commission anticipates six round trips per day with the majority of service being offered during commute hours — a timeframe that falls well before most campus activity during the morning hours. Future growth will likely include service during more opportune times for UCR students and employees, but overall train ridership during the first few years is unlikely to be impacted by demand at UCR. Moreover, the location of a station in the Hunter Park business center in the northern portion of Riverside will offer a convenient location for those that do end up taking the train. The Hunter Park station would offer a more convenient location than the current Downtown Riverside Metrolink station, which is used by a handful of students and staff. The last time the _ Commission considered the issue of station locations and development was in July 2008. At that time, the Commission approved a station development priority list containing five opening day station, which included the UCR station. Of the five stations that were recommended for opening day, the UCR station ranked near the bottom in terms of ridership. Given the comments received from the public and the train scheduling concerns regarding the line, staff recommends the deferral of the UCR station to a future phase of the PVL. The NOP for the EIR would clearly reflect this decision and communicate the Commission's commitment to addressing community concerns. As a result of this action, the status of a potential UCR station would be similar to future stations that are planned at Ramona Expressway and Fair Isle Drive and could possibly be developed to meet future demand. Agenda Item 8N • • 368 " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: June 10, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Edda Rosso, Capital Projects Manager Richard Bryan, Bechtel Manager of Rail Projects Erik Galloway, Bechtel Project Coordinator THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement with Psomas to Provide Construction Support Services for the Phase I - Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve Agreement No. 04-33-007-04, Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. 04-33-007-00, with Psomas for construction support services for Phase I - Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility in a not to exceed amount of $73,769, for a total contract value of $1,163,461, plus , a general contingency amount of $6,231 for a total not to exceed amount of $1,169, 692; 2) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and 3) Authorize Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to approve the use of the contingency as may be required for the project. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its September 12, 2007 meeting, the Commission authorized staff to advertise to receive construction bids for the construction of Phase I - Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility adjacent to C Street, between State Route 74 and San Jacinto Avenue in the city of Perris. Because the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility will serve as a future Metrolink Perris Valley Line (PVL) commuter rail station, the Commission is the project lead for development, design, and construction of the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility in coordination with Riverside Transit Agency (RTA). The Phase I work will include construction of a Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility with a 141-space park and ride lot, a bus plaza with eight loading bays, closed circuit television system (CCTS), and a transit platform for future Metrolink access. Along with the main facility Agenda Item 80 369 improvements there will be street improvements along C Street, and at the intersection of C Street and SR-74, Rule 20 utilities undergrounding, and landscaping. 1. Initial Agreement: At its July 9, 2003 meeting, the Commission approved the selection process and awarded Agreement No. 04-33-007 to Psomas, formerly known as Pountney Consulting Group, Inc., for the development of the master plan, environmental clearance, and preliminary design of the Phase I. 2. Amendment No. 1, Agreement No. 05-33-907: On August 9, 2004, Amendment No. 1 was executed to simplify the accounting and invoicing procedures for the agreement and to address the merger of Pountney Consulting Group, Inc. and Psomas. 3. Amendment No. 2, Agreement No. 04-33-007-02: On, March 14, 2007 Amendment No. 2 was entered into to allocate funding for Psomas to provide final design and engineering construction support services during the bid, award, and construction phases of the project. The final design of the project commenced in March 2007, after receiving environmental clearance and completion of the master plan. Phase I is a key component of the downtown Perris revitalization efforts and staff has been working closely with the city of Perris planning and engineering departments during the final design of the Phase I. The final design was completed and the project was advertised on October 1, 2008 with the bids received on November 3, 2008. The results of the bid opening were presented at the November 12, 2008 Commission meeting with the award to Los Angeles Engineering, Inc. The construction of the project commenced on January 5, 2009. 4. Amendment No. 3, Agreement No. 04-33-007-03: On February 15, 2008 Amendment No. 3 was executed to supplement the funding for the final design services from the remaining contingency and to extend the term of the agreement. Additional construction support efforts beyond what was anticipated in Amendment No. 2 have occurred thereby requiring the replenishment of the engineering construction support funds. Some of these additional efforts are shown below: • Assistance in the acquisition of right-of-way, specifically the Chu Property located at C Street and SR-74, which required drawing revisions and additional support; Agenda Item 80 • 370 " Coordination with Southern California Edison (SCE) and Verizon for the undergrounding of their facilities including drawing revisions to incorporate their planned work; " Additional efforts to obtain approval and permits from the Riverside County Flood Control District (RCFCD); " Revisions to the traffic phasing and traffic control plans to address California Department of Forestry (CDF) concerns about emergency vehicle access during construction; " Coordination efforts with STV Incorporated to incorporate the Phase I - Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility into the Perris Valley Line design, including incorporation of field changes to the station design; " Utility potholing services to determine the positive location of an existing gas main in 2' Street; " Redesign of the electrical systems and other civil site features to incorporate new Metrolink station design standards and field changes to address the future PVL project; and " Redesign of street improvements along San Jacinto, at the request of the city of Perris, to move the curb line from 27 feet to 35 feet from centerline of the street." This amendment will cover the additional construction support items, outlined above, replenish the engineering construction support budget to address any future design changes through the completion of the project, and to extend the contract term until December 31, 2011. Budget Summary Staff is currently working with Psomas to finalize the detailed scope, cost, and schedule for the proposed Amendment No. 4. The final scope, cost, and schedule will be attached to the amendment, pursuant to legal counsel review, prior to execution of the agreement. At this time, it is anticipated that the cost of the proposed services will be $73,769 plus a contingency of $6,231 for a total not to exceed amount of $80,000. Agenda Item 80 371 Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes Year: FY 2009/10 Amount: $80,000 Source of Funds: Proposition 1 B Budget Adjustment: No GLA No.: 221 33 81304 P3816 Fiscal Procedures Approved: \Abtida,ji, nod Date: 05/27/2009 Agenda Item 80 372 " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 10, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Proposed Metrolink Budget for Fiscal Year 2009/10 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Adopt the preliminary FY 2009/10 Metrolink operating and capital budget; 2�% Allocate the Commission's funding commitment to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) in an amount not to exceed of $6,502,900 in Local Transportation Fund (LTF) fund for train operations and maintenance -of -way, and $21,912,200 for capital projects to be funded by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, State Transit Assistance (STA) funds and LTF; and 3) Authorize the SCRRA to apply $155,200 of the Commission's prior year carryover funds to the FY 2009/10 operating budget to cover an unanticipated increase in the liability insurance premiums. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: By virtue of the joint powers agreement, the five member agencies, which comprise the SCRRA, must formally commit to fund its proportionate shares of commuter rail operating and capital costs. Each member agency must approve the budget before adoption of a final budget by the Metrolink Board, no later than June 30, 2009. Service and funding levels are limited by the policy and budget constraints of the member agencies and are negotiated each year. FY 2008/09 Notable Accomplishments " Aggressive safety response after Chatsworth incident with a Peer Safety Review, increased efficiency testing, second set of eyes in the cab, inward and outward video camera, expanded Automatic Train Stop, additional oversight, and the initiation of development of Positive Train Control. Agenda Item 8P 373 " Continued steady growth on the year round Inland Empire -Orange County (IEOC) weekend service. " Continued efforts from Union Pacific for better on -time performance on the Riverside Line with performance at or above the target level of 95% for most of the year. " Continued construction on the Eastern Maintenance Facility (EMF) in Colton. " Delivery of 15 Motive Power locomotives with the cleanest diesel-electric technology available. " Continued development of new rail passenger cars with the first to be delivered in late 2009. Riverside County Service Impact Proposed for FY 2009/10 Three Metrolink commuter rail lines traverse Riverside County: the Riverside Line, the IEOC Line, and the 91 Line. The FY 2009/10 draft Metrolink budget proposes no change in service levels at this time. With the economic slowdown and drop in sales tax revenue, Metrolink has initiated an evaluation of potential cost savings if service level reductions were implemented. Currently no service reductions are planned. In addition, the Metrolink Board approved a 3.0% average fare increase due to restructuring of fares from zone to distance -based calculation and increasing expenses. Commission's FY 2009/10 Operating Subsidy Remains Constant The Commission's proposed funding obligation to SCRRA includes a $6,502,900 subsidy for operations and maintenance -of -way, which represents a $26,800 decrease or less than 1 % change over the initial FY 2008/09 budget. The operating subsidy will come from LTF. Staff also requests the Commission to authorize SCRRA to apply $155,200 of the Commission's prior year carryover funds to the FY 2009/10 operating budget to cover an unanticipated increase in the liability insurance premiums. This amount is the Commission's share of the overall insurance increase based on the train mile cost allocation formula. SCRRA Budget Priorities 1. Continue implementation of ongoing safety improvements and peer review panel recommendations (operating and capital). 2. Preserve current service levels of 149 weekday trains. 3. Incorporate fleet additions (new rail cars). 4. Integrate and open the newly constructed EMF. 5. Improve customer and stakeholder communications. 6. Examine the impacts of increasing overnight rest for train crews to nine or more hours. Agenda Item 8P " " 374 " " 7. Maintain level of operations at or below current aggregate member agency contributions Operating Cost Overview The overall Metrolink FY 2009/10 operating budget is $2.1 million or 1.5% greater than the amended FY 2008/09 budget. The following elements represent the various changes: " A decrease in the cost of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel from $3.25 per gallon in the FY 2008/09 budget to $2.05 per gallon projected for FY 2009/10, which results in a decrease of $1.20 per gallon or an annual savings of $7.4 million. Approximately 2/3 of the FY 2009/10 fuel requirements have been locked in with a forward purchase agreement. This cost savings helps to balance other cost increases in the operating budget. " Equipment maintenance expenses are increasing both as a result of contractually mandated cost escalation as well as the addition of new staff to support the maintenance of new locomotives received in FY 2008/09, and new rail cars anticipated in FY 2009/10. This is a net increase of $5.0 million or 21.4% over the FY 2008/09 budget. " The agency's insurance program also will increase by approximately 30% from the prior year original budget, due to increased costs of premiums, anticipated claims, legal expenses, and other items related to the September 2008 incident in Chatsworth. " In addition there will be a staffing increase to improve operations and equipment oversight. This includes four operations positions including road foreman of engines, new positions in equipment maintenance to address the new rail cars, and a new operations position to oversee implementation of electronic media such as the electronic passenger information system under development. In order to further control costs, there are no increases in salaries and wages included in the budget. Capital Contribution The Commission's new capital and capital renovation obligation for FY 2009/10 is projected at $3,066,600. Of that total, $1.67 million will be funded with ARRA funds applied to Riverside County signal improvements. The remaining $1,396,600 will be funded with FTA 5307 grant funds used for various projects including rehabilitation and renovation of rolling stock and track projects, passenger sign rehabilitation, electronic passenger information system, LA Union station canopy rehabilitation, and on rail equipment. Agenda Item 8P 375 In April 2008, the Commission authorized SCRRA to use $4,785,600 in ARRA funds for Positive Train Control and $760,000 in ARRA funds for safety and security improvements to the Keller Street Yard. There is an additional investment of $13.3 million of the Commission's capital funds to exercise an option for seven additional rail cars in the current procurement. The source of these funds will be combination of LTF and STA. Once received these cars will be used to add cars to crowded trains or add service frequencies on the 91 Line or IEOC routes. Summary Financial Subsidy Impact to Commission The proposed Commission operating subsidy of $6,502,900 represents 4% of the $169.2 million Metrolink operating budget and will be funded with LTF funds. The total capital rehabilitation project subsidy of $3,066,600 represents 6.5% of the $46.7 million capital rehabilitation budget and will be funded with a combination of FTA 5307 funds and ARRA funds. The remaining $18,545,600 in capital funds will be used directly to expand capacity and improve safety for the Metrolink system with direct benefits to Riverside County residents. These funds are a combination of ARRA, LTF, and STA funds. The FTA Section 5307 and ARRA funds do not pass -through the Commission and are received directly by SCRRA. Systemwide In FY 2009/10, Metrolink will celebrate its 17`h year providing Metrolink commuter rail service in Southern California. Opening with three lines and 12 stations in October 1992, the SCRRA today operates over 512 route miles on seven lines, serving 55 stations in six counties. Average weekday ridership is projected to total over 43,000 one-way trips. The resulting fare box revenue is projected at $79.2 million or 9.3% over the current year budget. The system anticipates modest growth of 2.8% for weekday riders and with the 3% fare increase there is a 9.3% increase in fare revenues over the previous year's budget. Fare revenues represent 47.0% of total operating expenses. Member agency contributions of $74.4 million for operations represent approximately 44% of total operating expenses resulting in revenue recovery in the budget of 56.3%, one of the higher revenue recovery ratios among commuter rail properties nationwide. In 2004, the Metrolink Board approved a 10-year fare restructuring program that began July 1, 2005, and changed the method for calculating fares to one based on the driving mileage between stations. The 10-year fare restructuring program included an underlying average annual fare increase of 3.5%. Due to concerns about the economy the Metrolink Board reduced the proposed fare increase to 3.0% for this coming fiscal year to take effect August 1, 2009. Agenda Item 8P • • 376 " The preliminary FY 2009/10 combined Metrolink budget is $592.8 million. The operating budget is $169.2 million, an increase of 2.96% from the amended FY 2008/09 budget. The capital budget is $423.6 million made up of rehabilitation and renovation at $79.9 million and a new capital projects budget of $343.7 million. A large portion of the capital budget represents the current procurement of additional rolling stock. The FY 2009/10 Metrolionk budget development process was very difficult this year. Although through tough budget cuts and a significant drop in fuel prices, SCRRA was able to create a budget with a relatively neutral impact on the member agencies' subsidies. The forecast for next fiscal year is not promising with increasing cost obligations and reduced sales tax funding. Staff at SCRRA and all the member agencies will be working throughout the year to try to anticipate and address a significant financial challenge that is projected for the FY 2010/11 budget year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission owns and operates the five Metrolink commuter rail stations in Riverside County and is responsible for the safety and security of the Metrolink riders and station facilities. The Commission relies on a security guard contractor to be the primary onsite presence to address safety, security, and customer service responsibilities. The current staffing plan has 24-hour guard service at all five Metrolink stations. The challenge to conduct effective security foot patrols with a limited number of people at stations has expanded significantly in size over the years. For example, the Downtown Riverside station, which originally had approximately 500 spaces now has 1,140 spaces in four separate parking lots. The La Sierra station has 1,065 parking spaces and 500 more will be added in the near future. At the North Main Corona station, the new parking structure is six stories with 1,000 spaces and the station will also retain 300 surface level parking spaces. The West Corona and Pedley stations have fewer parking spaces, but are spread out with multiple entrances and bus driveways. With the expanded lots, it is critical to have a visible security presence and a better ability to respond quickly to emergencies. Implementing a security cart program at the stations can address these issues. Agenda Item 8Q 379 Security Cart Program The initial approach was to develop a program that would provide security carts at all five of the stations. However, after a detailed cost benefit analysis, it was determined that the smaller stations of Pedley and West Corona could do without the carts for now. For Downtown Riverside, La Sierra, and North Main Corona, the security cart program will have several significant benefits including: • Increased patrols and coverage in the parking lots both during the day and night shifts. • A viable patrol of the new Corona parking structure, which would be extremely difficult without a security cart. • A security cart patrolling with a flashing light will pose a significant deterrent to criminal activity compared to a guard at the platform that is not visible from the street. • Guards will be able to respond quicker to incidents and could transport barriers or cones to isolate areas if needed. • Guards will be able to open and close driveway and access gates at the ends of the parking lots more efficiently. • Guards could patrol the frontage of the stations, parking lots, and parking structure to protect against graffiti or vandalism. • Guards will be less fatigued for the duration of the shift and more alert if they are not required to do constant foot patrols of the parking lots. The proposal moving forward is to purchase three new 2009 street legal electric 12v-48v golf carts. These will be highly visible vehicles that will include a flashing light, security decals, and cargo boxes. In addition, a storage shed with electricity will need to be constructed at Downtown Riverside and La Sierra Metrolink stations to store, secure, and charge the vehicles when not in use. There is a secured space in the new North Main Corona parking structure to store and recharge the vehicle. As a general operating policy, the guards will continue to work on foot at the platforms during peak periods with significant passenger activity. During slow periods, midday, and after hours the guards will utilize the carts to patrol the parking lots and structure, close and open gates, and provide a visible deterrent to any unauthorized activity at the station. The guards will be responsible for the carts' security at all times and will lock and keep the carts charged while not in use. The current guard contractor is supportive of this concept and would appreciate the additional resources to better secure the stations. The Commission will need to provide insurance, although the current security contractor's insurance policy covers the guards when operating the carts. Additional operating expenses include an annual maintenance contract for the Agenda Item 8Q • • 380 " " carts, repairs to both the carts and the storage buildings and added utilities to charge the carts. Security Cart Example: Cost Benefit Analysis Before bringing this proposal to the Commission, staff performed a detailed cost/benefit analysis for the program. Given the current economic situation, it was important to be able to justify both the initial capital expenditure and ongoing operating expenditures. For each cost element, several bids were received from multiple vendors and the cart specifications were reviewed by both staff and the security guard management. The cost breakdowns are as follows: Table 1: Capital Costs Station Parking Storage Station Spaces Cart Cost Building Downtown Riverside North Main Corona La Sierra West Corona Pedley Totals 1,140 1,300 1,065 564 288 $8,538 $8,538 $8,538 $8,538 $8,538 $4,136 $0 $4,136 $4,136 $4,136 Cement Foundation Electrical Totals $15,799 $8,538 $23,219 $21,194 $23,244 $91,994 $0 $0 $7,060 $5,1 20 $4,860 $3,125 $0 $3,485 $ 3, 400 $5,710 4,357 $42,690 3 Larger Station Totals $ 25,614 Agenda Item 80 $16.544 $17,040 $ 8,272 $ 7,060 $15,720 $ 6,610 $ 47,556 381 Table 2: Operating Costs Station Annual Maintenance Repairs Repairs Cart Building Insurance Utilities Totals Downtown Riverside $310 $1,000 $500 $1,000 $300 $3,110 North Main Corona $310 $1,000 $ 0 $1,000 $300 $2,610 La Sierra $310 $1,000 $500 $1,000 $300 $3,110 West Corona $310 $1,000 $500 $1,000 $300 $3,110 Pedley $310 $1,000 $500 $1,000 $300 $3,110 Totals $1,550 $5,000 $2,000 $ 5,000 $1,500 $15,050 3 Larger Station Totals $930 $3,000 $1,000 $3,000 $900 $8,830 Table 1 illustrates that the capital costs estimates are reduced significantly to $47,556 for only Downtown Riverside, La Sierra, and North Main Corona Metrolink stations compared to the original plan for carts at all five stations. The operating costs displayed in Table 2 are also decreased proportionally. This modified approach will provide the best security coverage at the lowest cost for the Commission. The security guard contractor also supports this modified program. Staff recommends the approval of the security cart program as described. Funding for this program is currently included in the FY 2009/10 proposed budget. The capital expenditure elements of the program including a small contingency should not exceed $50,000. This funding will come from Commuter Rail's Proposition 1B Public Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP). The annual operating funds of approximately $10,000 with contingency will be funded with the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) funds.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its April 2008 meeting, the Commission approved the Plan and directed staff to implement the recommendations needed to make improvements that increase the life of the assets at the five Commission -owned commuter rail stations, including the rehabilitation and improvement of the various station parking lots. The Plan identified the pavement as needing urgent attention to areas experiencing significant deterioration. In addition, the Plan also identified the need to reseal and restripe the parking lots in order to extend its useful life. The remedial work identified in the Plan and required to rehabilitate the parking lots includes saw cutting and removing the asphalt, aggregate base material and replacement with new aggregate base, and new asphalt paving. For the bus loops at the Downtown Riverside and La Sierra Metrolink stations the remedial work includes replacing the severely damaged asphalt with concrete. The Pedley Metrolink station requires additional work necessary to remove low spots to prevent ponding. In all parking lots, the work includes sealing of cracks, slurry sealing of the entire surface, restriping, and repainting curbs. Agenda Item 8R 383 The replacement of asphalt with concrete paving for the bus loops at the Downtown Riverside and La Sierra Metrolink stations will minimize the long-term need to maintain the paving where heavy bus traffic occurs. Concrete paving typically requires minimal maintenance and is estimated to last 20 to 30 years, whereas asphalt paving will require periodic maintenance involving resealing and restriping and crack repairs as needed, estimated at two to three year intervals. The estimated cost differential for concrete in lieu of asphalt for the identified bus loops is $60,000. On April 16, 2009, the Commission released an invitation for bids (IFB) to provide contract services in support of the Plan. The Plan requires that the contractor: 1. Perform asphalt grinding and removal; 2. Perform aggregate base material removal and replacement; 3. Install replacement asphalt and concrete paving; 4. Prepare and seal existing cracks; 5. Slurry seal parking lot surfaces; and 6. Repaint and restripe parking lot surfaces and curbs. The rehabilitation of the parking lots, if approved, is anticipated to be completed within six months of notice to proceed. Work will be performed during the weekends and at night to minimize disruption to normal commuter rail station operations.

In all cases, slurry sealing and striping and painting are needed. Significant cracks exist in some of the parking lots and will require special attention to repair. Bechtel staff will assume the construction management and field inspector roles in implementation of this project. Staff recommends that the Commission award this contract to Caliber Paving Company, Inc. to perform the commuter rail station parking lot asphalt removal, asphalt and concrete replacement, slurry seal, and painting and striping in support of the Plan. The amount of the contract is not to exceed $790,886. The funding to cover this project will come from Commuter Rail's Proposition 1 B Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its June 2006 meeting, as a result of a competitive procurement process, the Commission awarded Agreement No. 06-25-071-00 to WASS to provide security guard services for the five Metrolink commuter rail stations. The scope of services included 24-hour surveillance at all of the stations and armed guard service for the trains stored overnight at the Downtown Riverside station. The initial term of the agreement was for three years at a not -to -exceed amount of $2,476,140. The agreement also included two one-year options to be exercised at the Commission's discretion. In March 2009, when it became apparent there was going to be a significant shortfall in the agreement's authorized funding, staff requested an on -call audit firm to conduct an invoice reconciliation to determine the cause of this shortfall. The reconciliation of this agreement is part of a larger effort that includes the five major agreements that provide maintenance and security services to the commuter rail stations. The Commission spends approximately $1 million or more annually on each of these agreements. All five agreements are being reviewed by the on -call Agenda Item 8S 387 audit firm to determine the nature of the expenditures incurred under these agreements, as well as review contract compliance in an effort to better manage the station maintenance costs. The reconciliation found that four additional service locations were assigned to WASS, but the agreement was not amended to reflect the new locations that were added to the scope of work or the additional cost that would be incurred over the life of the agreement by the addition of these locations. Additional security services were also requested for events such as the Holiday Train. In addition, the reconciliation also found overbilling of overtime costs. Staff met with WASS, which has agreed to reimburse the Commission $7,367 for the overtime overbillings. However, WASS is entitled to payment for the guard service provided at the four additional locations and special events. Therefore, staff is requesting an increase in funding of $405,000 to cover the additional services already provided and to fund the agreement through June 30, 2009. During the term of the initial agreement, WASS has provided satisfactory service and has been responsive to staff's requests. Since there are two one-year options, staff recommends exercising the first one-year option in a not -to -exceed amount of $1.3 million. This will cover all services currently being provided, service for the North Main Corona parking structure when it becomes operational, the Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility, special events such as the Holiday Train, and additional supervisory service to be provided during non -peak hours. Staff is recommending approval of Amendment No. 1, which will bring the scope of work of the initial agreement into alignment with the services actually being performed, as requested by staff; increase the original agreement amount by $405,000 from $2,476,140 to $2,881,140; and exercise the first one-year option in an amount not to exceed $1.3 million for a total agreement amount of $4,181,140.

Attachment: Report on Review of Contract Billings Callan Management Company Idba WASS) Agenda Item 8S • • 388 " REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONTRACT BILLINGS FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2006 - MARCH 25, 2009 CALLAN MANAGEMENT COMPANY (dim WESTERN AREA SECURITY SERVICES) AGREEMENT NO.06-25-071-00 Prepared for. RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Prepared by: Thompson, Cobb, Bazilio d Associates, P.C. 21250 Hawthorne Blvd. Suite 150 Torrance, CA 90503 389 " " " Executive Summary We have completed our review of Callan Management Co., Inc.'s dba Westem Area Security Services (WASS) invoiced costs under Agreement No. 06-25-071-00. The review covered services rendered from July 1, 2006 to March 14, 2009. The purpose of this review was to 1) summarize all fees billed under the contract and compare them to the total authorized amount, 2) identify the location of security services invoiced for and compare the locations to the locations authorized under the contract, and 3) determine whether invoiced costs were billed in compliance with the terms of the contract. We found that: " As of March 25, 2009 (date of last invoice) WASS had invoiced fees of $2,584,507 to the contract for services through March 14, 2009 leaving an authorized contract balance of $190,387. Based on the latest invoice, fees are billed at about $40,115 semi-monthly for all stations. " WASS invoiced $320,609 for security services of four (4) locations that were not included in the scope of the contract. The four locations not included in the contract are CCTV/Dispatch, Inland Empire parking lot, AUX parking in North Corona, and Mission Trains. The Agreement requires that the Commission and Contractor agree upon any amendments, however, we found no evidence of amendments authorizing the addition of these stations/locations and the respective increase in security personnel_ Although the authorized contract rates were used to bill for the security services provided at these additional locations, the contract budget amount was not increased to allow for these additional services. As a result, the contract budget will be exhausted by the end of April 2009, two months before the end of the contract term on June 30, 2009. " WASS invoiced fees of $2,584,507 were allowable and billed in accordance with contract terms, except for $7,367 of overtime billed at rates that exceeded those allowed under the contract. WASS calculated its overtime rates at 1.5 times the allowable regular time contract rate. Overtime rates should have been calculated by adding 50% of the employee's base pay plus payroll taxes to the allowable contract rate. This difference in this overtime rate calculation resulted in over billings of $7,367. Background On September 25, 2006, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC or Commission) entered into an agreement with Callan Management Co., Inc., a California Corporation dba Western Area Security Services (WASS or Contractor) for professional security services for five (5) Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations. The period of performance under this contract extends from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2009 with options for two one-year extensions. The Commission authorized the award of this contract for a not -to -exceed amount of $2,476,139 for the initial three-year term. The contract encumbrance was increased by $298,756 over two years from funds made available through SCRRA reimbursements, increasing the funds available under the contract to $2,774,895. This increase in budget was an emergency stop -gap measure while this expenditure review was being performed. 1 390 The contract requires that WASS perform security services as specified in Exhibit A of the Agreement. Compensation for those services is based on actual labor hours incurred at negotiated fully burdened labor rates as listed in the contract. WASS invoiced costs of $2,584,507 for services performed through March 14, 2009. Scope and Methodology The following is a listing of significant procedures performed: 1. We reviewed the Agreement between the Commission and WASS. We summarized the amounts invoiced and compared the amounts to the not -to - exceed amount. 2. We determined that the work performed was within the period authorized by the Agreement. 3. We obtained billing invoices for the period July 1, 2006 through March 14, 2009, and summarized those charges by station and/or location. 4. We verified the mathematical accuracy of the invoices and determined whether the fees were calculated in accordance with contract terms. 5. We reviewed each billing to verify its completeness per the contract. 6. We compared billed labor rates to the negotiated fully burden rates authorized in the contract. 7. We computed the proper over -time rates based on the contract rates and percentage raises allowed in the agreement. 8. We prepared a schedule of all billed over -time and computed the over billing based on the proper calculation of overtime pay. 9. We reviewed base rates in the contract and compared them to national averages to determine the reasonableness of the pay rates. 10. We reviewed the proposed cost of living adjustments to the Employee Cost Index to determine the reasonableness of the escalations. 2 • • 391 " " " Results of Review Below we provide the details of our findings: Contract Value The total contract value was increased by $298,756 from $2,476,139 to $2,774,895 over two years from funds received from SCRRA. WASS invoiced fees of $2,584,507 for the period July 1, 2006 through March 14, 2009. The contract has a remaining balance of $190,387 as of the invoice dated March 25, 2009. Attachment A summarizes the total invoiced costs by station or location. WASS' invoices cover services provided over a .two week period. The latest invoice dated March 25, 2009 covered services from March 1, 2009 through March 14, 2009 totaling $40,115. Below is a breakdown of the services provided in the latest invoice. Contract 4001 Riverside -Downtown Station 4002 Pedley Station 4003 La Sierra Station 4004 West Corona Station 4006 North Main Corona Station Supervisor 4001 CCTV/Dispatch 4001 Inland Empire Parking Lot 4001 Mission Trains 4006 AUX Parking North Corona (Two -week period) Period Billings $ 6,158.95 5,534.20 5,534.20 5,534.20 5,534.20 1,860.80 1,321.60 2,643.20 2,478.00 3,515.75 $ 40,115.10 Locations Not Included in the Scope of the Contract The Agreement stated that the Contractor shall provide services for the following five (5) Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations in Riverside County: 1.

North Main Corona Station Attachment A shows the billings for each of the five (5) stations for the period from July 1, 2006 through March 14, 2009. 392 Our review found that WASS invoiced costs of $320,609 for services performed at four (4) additional locations not listed in the contract The table below summarizes the billings for each of the additional locations. Location 1. Closed Circuit TV — Surveillance Equipment (CCTV/Dispatch) 2. Inland Empire parking lot 3. Mission Trains 4. AUX parking in North Corona Date Services Began 02/04/2007 02/04/2007 01 /06/2008 02/17/2008 Invoiced Costs $ 69,445.05 136,605.76 76,480.13 38,078.49 $ 320,609.43 Locations 1 through 3 were billed as Riverside -Downtown Station services and Location 4 was billed as the North Main Corona Station. The authorized contracted rates were used to bill for the security services provided at these additional locations. Section 3.1.1 of the Agreement states: "The Commission and the Contractor will mutually agree upon an amendment to this Agreement to accommodate necessary increases in security staffing, as such increases become necessary." We found no evidence of amendments authorizing the addition of these stations/locations and the respective increases in security staffing to the scope of the contract. Although the authorized contract rates were used to bill for the security services provided at these additional locations, the contract amount was not increased to allow for these additional services. The contract is to be completed on June 30, 2009. As of March 14, 2009, the remaining balance on the contract was $190,387. At a burn rate of $40,115 every two weeks, we project that the contract budget will be exhausted by the end of April 2009. The contract budget amount should have been increased to allow for these additional costs of services. Over Billing of Overtime Costs Exhibit C of the Agreement details the billing rates for straight -time hours, but not for overtime billing rates. However, Exhibit C does show an added amount to the estimated contract annual expenditures for overtime calculated by adding $4.75 per hour to the employee's base pay. Exhibit B shows that the base regular time wage paid to unarmed security guards is $9.50 per hour. One-half of this $9.50 is $4.75, equal to the amount used to add cost to estimated annual expenditures to account for overtime. Thus, this indicates that the contract overtime rate should be calculated by adding 50% to an employee's regular time pay. Our review showed that WASS invoiced overtime by adding 50% to the contract fully burdened billing rates. Contract fully burdened billing rates include overhead and profit, resulting in an over billing of overtime costs. We believe that adding 50% of an employee's base pay for overtime costs as shown in Exhibit C is appropriate, except that payroll taxes on the increased overtime wage should be allowed. Thus, we calculated allowable overtime billing rates by adding 50% of the employee's base pay plus applicable payroll taxes to the contract billing rates. Using these rates, we identified over billings of $7,367.10 for overtime fees invoiced by WASS during the period of our review. The table below details the over billing of 4 • • • 393 overtime costs by station/location. Attachment B shows the detailed breakdown of our recommended calculation of the overtime rate for 2006. Attachment C shows our recommended overtime rates for years 2006 through 2010. Over Billed Station/Location Amount 4001 Riverside -Downtown Station $ 2,146.02 4002 Pedley Station 1,168.89 4003 La Sierra Station 1,168.89 4004 West Corona Station 1,166.23 4006 North Main Corona Station 1,168.89 Supervisor 4001 CCTV/Dispatch 75.64 4001 Inland Empire Parking Lot 66.20 4001 Mission Trains 406.33 4006 AUX Parking North Corona $ 7,367.10 Conclusions As of March 25, 2009 WASS had invoiced fees of $2,584,507 to the contract for services through March 14, 2009 leaving an authorized contract balance of $190,387. WASS invoiced fees were allowable and billed in accordance with contract terms, except for $7,367 of overtime billed at rates that exceeded those allowed under the contract. WASS invoiced $320,609 for security services of four (4) stations/locations that were not included in the scope of the contract.

Such services address the needs of transit dependent riders as well as help mitigate congestion and the necessity for expensive parking capacity at the Commission stations. The Commission is working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of transit connections. In order to meet these requirements, the Commission has worked with Metrolink and local transit operators to offer connecting services to and from Riverside County Metrolink stations at no cost for those with valid Metrolink tickets. Within Riverside County, services include free transfers to routes operated by Riverside Transportation Agency (RTA), RTA's Commuter Link service and Corona Cruiser.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Riverside County FYs 2009/10 - 2011 /12 SRTPs cover the three apportionment areas of the county and are comprised of plans for the municipal operators, PVVTA, RTA, SunLine, and the Commission's Regional Commuter Rail program. Staff is requesting that the SRTPs be approved in concept only, as requests for financial allocations will be made at the July Commission meeting. The Commission oversees transit service in Riverside County primarily through the approval of SRTPs, which detail the operating and capital costs that are planned for transit services. The SRTPs provide detailed information about existing services and facilities, financial forecasts and plans, as well as planned and proposed improvements to be implemented in FY 2009/10. Each operator adopts such a plan and then provides data on performance to the Commission. The SRTPs were developed to meet the Commission's Productivity Improvement Program (PIP), which was adopted as part of a comprehensive effort to work with the county's eight public transit operators to provide better service and improve efficiency. Under state law, the Commission is tasked with the responsibility to identify, analyze, and recommend potential productivity improvements for transit operators. The process requires that transit operators address recommendations that are made by regular performance audits. Agenda Items 8U 406 The performance indicators that are evaluated through the PIP include operating costs per revenue hour, fare box recovery ratio, subsidies, passengers per revenue hour, and passengers per revenue mile, which are critical in ensuring that service can be maximized in an efficient manner. While reviewing and analyzing individual route productivity will remain with the transit operators and their governing boards, the Commission has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that transit operators are utilizing Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds wisely, efficiently and effectively with the need to provide high quality service. The Commission implemented TransTrack, a transit performance manager software application and training package which assists staff in compiling, tabulating, and reporting transit operating information for use in the SRTP preparation. TransTrack software assists the Commission's policy board in complying with the PIP requirements of the Public Utilities Code (PUC) and state -mandated requirements to effectively use TDA funds. PIP calculations will be analyzed and reported with the requests for financial allocations. City of Banning The city of Banning (Banning) works closely with the city of Beaumont to provide a seamless transit system serving the residents of the cities of Banning, Beaumont, the unincorporated areas of Cabazon and Cherry Valley as well as the commercial area of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians Reservation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Transportation Development Act (TDA) requires that the Commission annually identify and analyze operating trends for each operator and recommend potential productivity improvements, which could lower the operating costs (Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99244). The Commission meets this requirement through the adoption and approval of the Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP), which detail the operating and capital costs for planned transit services, both bus and commuter rail. The PIP was designed to assist in the SRTP process and meet state PUC requirements by establishing objective criteria for assessing productivity improvement opportunities. The PIP is part of the Commission's comprehensive effort to work with the county's eight public transit operators to improve system efficiency, provide better service and manage costs. To accomplish this, the PIP establishes both mandatory and discretionary performance targets that are evaluated against the operator's actual performance. The PIP requires all operators to meet a single mandatory target and seven discretionary targets. The performance targets are evaluated through the PIP process as follows: Mandatory Target " Fare box recovery ratio (between 10 percent for services provided in non -urbanized areas and 20 percent for services in urbanized areas). Agenda Item 8V 411 Discretionary Targets • Operating cost per revenue hour (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per passenger (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per passenger mile (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per revenue hour (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per revenue mile (+/- 15% variance); • Passengers per revenue hour (+/- 15% variance); and • Passengers per revenue mile (+/- 15% variance). Additional Discretionary Targets for Commuter Rail Program • Ridership growth - goal of 2%; and • Passenger miles per revenue car - goal of 30 passengers per revenue car mile. To be in compliance with the PIP, a bus operator needs to meet or exceed the required fare box recovery ratio and meet or exceed four of seven discretionary targets. The Commuter Rail Program must meet or exceed the required fare box recovery ratio as well as five out of nine discretionary standards. Based on the FY 2008/09 third quarter data (July 2008 through March 2009), the PIP Compliance Summary Report (Attachment 1) indicates that seven transit operators have either met or exceeded their PIP targets. Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine), Palo Verde Valley Transit Authority (PVVTA), and the city of Riverside have met the required fare box recovery target and all seven discretionary targets. The city of Corona met the mandatory fare box target as well as six out of seven discretionary targets, while the city of Banning met five of seven discretionary targets in addition to the mandatory fare box target. The Commission's Commuter Rail Program has met its fare box requirement and five out of nine discretionary targets. The city of Beaumont met six out of the seven discretionary targets but failed to meet the minimum required farebox ratio of 10%. Additionally, the city of Beaumont has not met the fare ratio requirement for the last three consecutive years from FY 2006 to FY 2008. As a result, under the TDA law (PUC Sec 99268.9), funding for the FY 2008/09 will be reduced by the difference between the fare revenues required to meet farebox and actual fares during the noncompliance year. The reduction in Local Transportation Fund (LTF) operating funds will be effected during the last quarter of the FY 2008/09. Commission staff, in cooperation with transit providers, will continue to monitor quarterly performance to ensure that transit services in the county continue to be provided effectively, efficiently and safely.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State law requires that prior to making any allocations of Local Transportation Fund (LTF) funds not directly related to public transit, the Commission must identify the unmet transit needs in the area and determine those that are reasonable to meet. At least one public hearing must be held to solicit comments on unmet transit needs. The only area where this determination of unmet needs is applicable is the Palo Verde Valley where in prior years not all funds have been needed for transit. In the Western Riverside County and Coachella Valley, all available local transit funds are being used for transit service. For FY 2009/10, staff projects a total of $1,029,199 in available LTF funds for transit services; of that amount, transit staff has identified the use of approximately $843,104 towards operating and capital costs. The Commission held a public hearing in Blythe on March 5, 2009. Commissioners Joseph DeConinck, Dick Kelly, Jeff Stone, Roy Wilson, and Citizens Advisory Committee members Jim Collins and Sherry Thibodeaux acted as the hearing Agenda Item 8W 423 board. Notice of the public hearing was advertised in the Desert Sun, Palo Verde Valley Times, and the Press Enterprise. Notices of the hearing were delivered and posted at the Blythe Police Department, Palo Verde Valley Transit Authority (PVVTA), city of Blythe Administrative Offices, Palo Verde College and the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services. Flyers in both english and Spanish were posted on transit vehicles and made available to riders. Four people testified at the hearing and four written statements were received regarding transit service needs in the area (Attachment 2). PVVTA and city of Blythe staff determined what improvements were reasonable to meet based on cost and projected productivity. The following is a summary of comments and responses. • Request to extend operations: o One comment was received requesting operations to be extended to Ripley, Monday through Friday PVVTA staff response — Staff will be proposing to the PVVTA Board in the new Fiscal Year to increase the route service to Ripley, to a Monday through Friday service. Weekend service is recommended to stay as is since ridership does not warrant additional weekend service. • Request modification to existing route schedule: o One comment was received requesting Blue Route 1 to run Saturday hours the same as weekday hours and provide Sunday services PVVTA staff response — Ridership on the Blue Route 1 does not warrant establishing an earlier service. Dial -a -Ride is available to provide transportation for earlier service and current deviated Gold Route service on the weekend can accommodate these requests. • Request to increase services to the Palo Verde College: o One comment was received requesting that the services to and from the College be increased, along with service to Ehrenberg, Arizona PVVTA staff response — Staff is currently working with Palo Verde College to find other funding opportunities from the education side to help provide late night service. The scope of the agency is to serve the residents of the Palo Verde Valley. PVVTA staff has a good working relationship with La Paz County Transit operator of transit service for Ehrenberg, AZ and has expressed these concerns with La Paz County Transit. • Other comments include: o Recommendation for services from Blythe to Palm Springs; o Concerns with gaps in transit services; o Needed more transportation for medical appointments outside of the community; Agenda Item 8W • • 424 " o Suggested purchase of an economical car for use of Dial -a -Ride Services for passengers without wheelchairs; and o A focus group listed medical transportation as its number two priority for seniors. Prior to allocating any Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds for street and road purposes, the Commission must adopt by resolution a finding that there are no unmet transit needs that can be reasonably met by existing or proposed service contained in the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) for Riverside County. The definitions Commission adopted for "Unmet Transit Needs" and "Reasonable to Meet" are as follows: "Unmet Transit Needs are, at a minimum, those public transportation or specialized transportation services that are identified in the Regional SRTP report, and the Regional Transportation Plan (Regional Mobility Plan) that have not been implemented or funded." "Reasonable to meet shall include the following factors: community acceptance, timing, equity, economy (both short term and long term), and cost effectiveness including the ability to meet the required fare box ratios."

Suggested that additional hours are needed for weekend routes. Would like no more cuts and no more fare increases. Staff will be proposing to the PVVTA Board in the new Fiscal Year to increase the route service to Ripley, to a Monday through Friday service. Weekend service is recommended to stay as is since ridership does not warrant additional weekend service. Albert Granger PO Box 559 Ehrenberg, AZ 85334 Concerned with the Blue Route 1 running an hour later, it has become a problem for regular passengers. Suggested Blue Route hours on Saturdays be the same as weekdays and Blue Route is needed on Sundays. Concerned with getting to the Fair Grounds on weekends because he does not live near the Gold Route. Also becomes hard to count on a schedule if it keeps changing. Ridership on the Blue Route 1 does not warrant establishing an earlier service. Dial -a -Ride is available to provide transportation for earlier service. Current deviated Gold Route service on the weekend can accommodate these requests. Morris P. Clayford Asst. Director SWC Options 721 E. Hobsonway Blythe, CA 92225 Sharon Alfredson c/o Paradise Inn 801 E. Hobson Way Room 209 Blythe, CA 92225 Recommended a van system of transportation which would have one centralized access site in the Palo Verde Valley for Transportation Needs. Suggested an established criteria level for the cost of transportation versus individual contribution. Suggested shuttle service for the ambulatory individuals who require transportation to and from the Blythe area to the Palm Springs vicinity. Suggested to keep Blue Route 1 as usual, very pleased with it. PWTA is a centralized access point for transportation needs in the Palo Verde Valley. Also, the Mobility Management Project is in place to centralize information for all types of mobility including public or private transportation. Blue Route 1 is currently maintained at a Farebox Recovery Ratio of 12.07% and staff does not anticipate any changes at this time. 428 Ed Walsh (1st comment) Riverside County Office on Aging 6296 River Crest Dr. Riverside, CA 92507 There are gaps in transit services. The most frail and vulnerable are having difficulty using any type of public transit. There are safety concerns for impaired persons using public transit because they get lost sometimes. It is very difficult to coordinate transportation due to the different eligibilities for these services. The Mobility Management Project (MMP) was envisioned to address these issues using public & private transportation. Travel training & travel companion services are also provided as part of the MMP. The MMP also cooridinates transportation needs based on eligibility needs & gives passengers the best options. Morris P. Clayford Shelter Wings Dan Cummings The office of Shelter Wings has had many individuals from the community seek transportation for medical appointments outside of the community. Looking to see if there can be assistance in finding a transportation system, even on a limited basis that will allow transportation of ambulatory seniors and disabled to have appointments outside of the community. Suggested an economical car for use on Dial -A -Ride services for persons without wheelchairs, because big buses are not needed for the blind. The Mobility Management Project and T.R.I.P. are available through PVVTA to provide service to these individuals. According to ADA requirements and funding provisions, ADA equipment/buses must be used for all public transit services provided by PVVTA. Sandra Smith Ed Walsh (2nd comment) Riverside County Office on Aging 6296 River Crest Dr. Riverside, CA 92507 Suggested a late bus at the college for those who take the late bus. Excellent service to Ehrenberg, AZ. Services to Arizona and to the college need to be increased. There has been a huge increase of seniors, in the past few years. The Office on Aging conducted a focus group in Blythe, October 9, 2008. There were twenty attendees and the number two priority that they listed was transportation, specifically medical transportation. Staff is currently working with Palo Verde College to find other funding opportunities from the education side to help provide late night service. The scope of the Agency is to serve the residents of the Palo Verde Valley. PVVTA staff has a good working relationship with La Paz County Transit operator of transit service for Ehrenberg, AZ and has expressed these concerns with them. PVVTA staff works closely with Office on Aging & local senior & disabled groups (e.g. congregate meal program) to monitor the mobility needs of seniors through the MMP. 429 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 10, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Brian Cunanan, Commuter Assistance Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2009/10 Measure A Commuter Assistance Buspool Subsidy Funding Continuation Requests STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Authorize payment of $1,645 per month maximum per buspool for the period July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010, to the existing Corona, Mira Loma, and Riverside-buspools; and 2) Require subsidy recipients to meet monthly buspool reporting requirements as supporting documentation to receive payments. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As part of the Measure A Commuter Assistance Program, the Commission provides funding support to buspools used by Riverside County residents for their commutes along the State Route 91 corridor. The Commission adopted the Measure A buspool subsidy in October 1990, and established a monthly subsidy rate of $1,175 or $25 per seat per month in support of commuter buspool operations. In July 2004, the Commission set the subsidy rate to $35 per seat per month ($1,645 per month) to help offset increases to operational costs during the previous 14 years. To provide additional guidance, the Commission also established a minimum buspool ridership policy in June 1995. The policy requires staff to report to the Commission when a buspool's ridership falls to 25 riders or below and seek direction regarding the continuation of the buspool's subsidy. Like all commuter assistance incentives provided by the Commission to encourage use of alternative modes of transportation, the Measure A $35 per seat per month subsidy is administered as a user side subsidy. The Commission's subsidy is an important factor that makes buspools an attractive alternative for these commuters with roundtrip commutes in excess of 100 miles. Also, the Commission's subsidy remains cost-effective compared to the typical public transit subsidy rate of 80%. While the monthly cost of each buspool varies according to the number of route Agenda Item 8X 430 miles and the resulting negotiated service price, the Commission's monthly subsidy reflects a subsidy rate of 14%. Average Monthly Buspool Fare Per Rider $ 248.00 RCTC Subsidy Per Seat $35.00 Subsidy Rate 14% Unlike some of the other Commission approved ridesharing incentives, which have a limited term, the buspool subsidy is on -going. To renew its annual subsidy, an existing buspool is required to: • Request in writing, continuation of funding from the Commission for the new fiscal year; • Consistently meet minimum ridership requirements; and • Submit monthly ridership reports throughout the year. The three existing buspools have completed all the requirements for funding as set forth by the Commission including the submittal of monthly ridership reports and annual funding continuation requests. The buspools have consistently exceeded the minimum ridership level of 25 riders per month and have collectively averaged 41 riders per month per buspool this current fiscal year. Buspools Corona Mira Loma Riverside Average Riders/Month 44 35 43 Roundtrip Distance —134 mi —123 mi --110 mi Annual Miles Saved 1,258,264 1,094,064 1,492,445 Annual One -Way Trips Reduced 22,176 17,732 22,836 67,124 Estimated Pounds of Emissions Reduced 3,844,773 Miles Saved 62,744 Trips Reduced In reducing the number of vehicles on SR-91 during peak periods, the buspool program saved nearly 3.8 million miles and 67,124 pounds of vehicle emissions in FY 2008/09. The buspool subsidy proves to be an effective use of Measure A Commuter Assistance funds and a budget of $100,000 is proposed for FY 2009/10. Based on the established monthly $1,645 per month per buspool subsidy policy, the funds will support the continuation of the three existing buspools plus two new start-up buspools. Additionally, this request intends that budget resource would be available to support two additional buspools that would allow the program the ability to absorb any potential for increased demand. A FY 2009/10 budget request supporting five buspools is consistent with past program requests.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The FY 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act, which was signed by the President in early March, identified $570,000 as an earmark for grade separation projects on the ACE for projects located in Riverside County. As identified in the 2008 Grade Separation Funding Strategy: A Blueprint for Advancing Projects (2008 Funding Strategy), there are 61 at -grade ACE crossings in Riverside County. The crossings present conflicts between rail and highway traffic and are located on the main lines of either the Union Pacific (UP) or Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) railroads. The purpose of the 2008 funding blueprint, which was approved by the Commission at its October 8, 2008 meeting, was to develop a strategy and funding plan that leverages existing funding commitments of local jurisdictions. In doing so, the plan developed a strategy for funding 20 of the 61 crossings for a total project cost of $980.5 million. Of that amount, $414.8 million in funding is secured through federal, state, and local funding sources. The funding balance of $565.7 million consists of unsecured sources, including railroad contributions, the California Public Utilities Commission, voluntary container premiums, or have an unidentified funding source. Appendix B from the 2008 Funding Strategy, which provides a summary of the 20 priority projects including an overview of the funding and project status is attached. Staff is requesting that the $570,000 earmark be allocated to one of the 20 high priority ACE projects. If approved, the funding would be allocated on "a first -come, first -served basis". Once funding is requested and project deliverability is demonstrated, staff will seek approval from the Commission to allocate the earmark to a specific project or projects.

Details of how the bill is being written are still unknown; however, Chairman Oberstar has circulated a hand-written sketch of the bill's core concepts, which is provided as an attachment to this staff report. Key themes emerging are: 1) a consolidation of the 108 current federal transportation programs into as few as four major programs; 2) two new offices within the Department of Transportation (DOT) focused on "intermodalism" and "liveability"; 3) a new freight formula program; 4) reducing project delivery time; and 5) a new concept of "mega regions" that would develop multimodal transportation plans and submit them to DOT for annual funding. Conspicuously absent from the Chairman Oberstar's outline is how the new bill will be financed. The Highway Trust Fund is still headed for insolvency in FY 2009; both the Chairman and Ranking Republican Member, Representative John Mica (R-FL), have committed to having a $450-500 billion bill, which is nearly double the current program. New financing mechanisms will be required. Thus far, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has not stated how it suggests the revenue be raised - this is the jurisdiction of the House Ways and Means Committee. It is expected that the Ways and Means Committee will begin holding Agenda Item 8Z 435 hearings in June on how the new transportation bill will be financed. This can be expected to be a heated and intense conversation forthcoming on Capitol Hill. In mid May, House members representing Riverside County submitted the High Priority Project (HPP) requests to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for designation in the new authorization bill. The Commission submitted projects to local Representatives on three corridors: Interstates 10 and 215 and Alameda Corridor East grade separations in Riverside County. Stimulus "TIGER" Discretionary Program Interim Criteria Released The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) created a $1.5 billion surface transportation program, Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER), to be allocated on a competitive basis by the DOT. DOT recently released interim guidelines for the submission of applications for this program. The guidelines indicate that DOT is looking for large projects of national significance with long-term economic benefits. Statements from DOT also indicate that there will be a focus on "intermodalism" and goods movement projects. Highway and transit programs had specific set -asides in ARRA; therefore, this funding will have less of an emphasis on traditional highway and transit needs. TIGER will be highly competitive. No state can receive more than $300 million, and projects must be a minimum of $25 million. Commission staff is working with regional transportation partners to begin developing strategies to submit the most competitive application(s). Once the guidelines are finalized by DOT following a brief public comment period, applications will be due in September. Given the extraordinary competitiveness of this program, local agencies with an interest in this program are encouraged to coordinate through the Commission. Climate Change Legislation Leaves Out Transit Funding At the time this staff report was written, the House Energy and Commerce Committee was in the midst of a week-long markup of energy and climate change legislation that would create a cap -and -trade emissions credit regime. The politics of the American Clean Energy Security Act (ACESA) are complex; hundreds of amendments to the bill have been offered. Of interest to the Commission is the absence of any provision that would dedicate a percentage of revenue generated from the purchase of emissions allowances to public transportation. Given the ACESA's call to reduce carbon emissions, the bill does not provide funding for transit operators to increase service that would play a critical role in achieving such mandates. Amid the elimination of California's State Transit Assistance (STA) program, new mandates for planning and green house gases (GHG) reduction under AB 32 and SB 375, and now potentially new federal requirements in ACESA, transit operators are facing an ever challenging environment. Last year, Senator Barbara Boxer's climate change legislation included a set -aside for transit. Agenda Item 8Z • • 436 " The current House bill by Representative Henry Waxman ID -CA) contains very little available revenue due to provisions that provide free emissions allowances to certain industries. The Senate has indicated that it will use the Waxman bill as a starting point later this summer. Commission staff will continue to monitor the bill and stay in contact with Riverside County's transit operators regarding potential impacts of ACESA. State Update Budget Woes Could Jeopardize $443 Million of Transportation Funding in Riverside County The state's massive budget shortfall could tempt legislators and the Governor to borrow Proposition 42 transportation sales tax funds to balance the general fund. Moreover, the Legislative Analyst's Office has proposed a partial suspension of Proposition 42 as well as repealing Proposition 42 altogether. Borrowing Proposition 42 funds would have a domino effect on the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), causing projects to be delayed  not just in this fiscal year, but in future fiscal years; projects slated for funding this year would be pushed back one year, causing next year's projects to be pushed out as well. By law, the Legislature would have to repay the Proposition 42 "loan" within three years with interest, meaning that such a move would cost the general fund even more money in the long run. Costs would also run higher with work stoppages and restarts on projects; the money that would eventually be repaid would therefore not go as far as when it was originally allocated. Projects at risk include interchanges on 1-10 in the Coachella Valley, the East Junction project, and projects on 1-215. Even if Proposition 42 funds are protected, if the state is unable to sell bonds several high priority Proposition 1 B projects in Riverside County may be delayed. Projects such as the Auto Center Drive grade separation project in Corona, Iowa Avenue grade separation project in Riverside, Perris Valley Line project, State Route 91 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane through Riverside and the lane addition to 1-215 north of Murrieta Hot Springs Road would all be at risk of significant delay. The Commission was spared from major cuts during the last budget crisis; however now that many projects are nearing construction, the Commission will have many projects directly at stake in the state's financial condition. An added consequence that hangs in the balance of what the Legislature does with transportation funding is the fate of $2.5 billion of ARRA funds that have been allocated to California. The federal stimulus act required that the Governor certify maintenance of effort on transportation funding levels as a condition of receiving Agenda Item 8Z 437 stimulus funds. Raiding of Proposition 42 or significant delays to Proposition 1 B bond sales may jeopardize California's eligibility to receive stimulus money. Over $70 million for highway projects in Riverside County have been allocated, as well as over $30 million for transit. These projects will begin construction this summer, and could eventually become at risk as well. Attached to this staff report is a one -page fact sheet that is being distributed to Legislators explaining the consequences to Riverside County transportation projects if transportation funds are raided due to the state's budget problems.

The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is funded by Prop 42. Many of these projects are also reliant on state bonds, which if delayed by the budget crisis could have a devastating effect. If Prop 42 is diverted to the general fund and the state cannot sell bonds, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) will have to delay funding to projects. Delaying infrastructure projects is more costly to the state in the long run, and stifles job growth that will lead our region's recovery.

Anti -Stimulus: Federal economic recovery legislation requires that California certify "maintenance of effort" with regard to transportation funding levels. Depleting state transportation funds could endanger $2.5 billion of federal funds, including $100 million in Riverside County. Don't put California's federal stimulus money at risk. Makes the Budget Worse: Proposition 1A allows the Legislature three years to repay transportation loans (with interest) to the general fund. We would not expect the Legislature to make transportation whole again until FY 12/13. By then, the damage will be done to Riverside County's transportation projects and construction industry jobs with costly delays. What will the state actually have saved once they repay this commitment? Let's work with our Legislators to find a real budget solution and fulfill the will of the voters who approved Propositions 42, 1A and 1B - cutting transportation will not balance the budget.

Background/Project History In 2004, RCTC began the environmental review process for the MCP project through the issuance of a notice of preparation (NOP). The NOP identified eight alternatives to be studied and considered, with a ninth alternative added later as a result of ongoing consultation with public agencies and the result of completed engineering and environmental studies. Alternative 9 was subsequently selected as the locally preferred alternative in September 2007. More recently, in October 2008, RCTC released the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) outlining the MCP project's environmental impacts on the project area. To date, RCTC has committed significant financial resources for the study and completion of the MCP project. Since the issuance of the initial notice of preparation in 2004, City staff has actively participated in the MCP project's development process, meeting on repeated occasions with RCTC staff as well as submitting formal comments in response to the release of various project -related documents. Given the proximity of the MCP project to the City and the potentially significant traffic -related impacts on the City, RCTC staff was invited to provide the Transportation Committee with an updated overview of the project. On December 16, 2008, the City Council declared its support for the MCP project noting its potential to provide an important east -west 3900 Main Street • Riverside, CA 92522 • 951.826.5371 • fax 951.826.5981 • www.riversideca.gov corridor southerly of the City's limits and serve as a viable alternative to divert cut -through traffic from City streets. In addition, the City Council stated its strong desire to see the western segment of the MCP project constructed prior to the eastern segment and cautioned that long - overdue capacity improvements to the Interstate-15/State Route-91 interchange would be necessary to adequately accommodate the anticipated additional traffic caused by the MCP project. City staff provided additional comments to RCTC expressing concern that the document generally failed to adequately identify and assess the MCP project's full impacts on the City. Particular emphasis was placed on the traffic -related impacts likely to affect the City if the eastern segment of the MCP project was constructed prior to the western segment. In effect, City streets, most notably Alessandro Boulevard and Van Buren Boulevard, would serve as cut - through corridors for vehicles accessing Interstate-15 or State Route-91. City's Opposition On June 4, 2009, RCTC staff formally notified City staff of its recommendation to withdraw the western segment from the MCP project's scope, focusing only on construction of the eastern segment. In response to this change in project scope, the City Council, on June 9, 2009, by unanimous vote, declared its strong opposition to this proposal. Construction of only the eastern segment of the MCP project will result in significant traffic - related impacts to the City. It was expected that construction of the entire MCP project would serve to divert cut through traffic from City streets by providing a more accessible connection to both Interstate-15 and State Route-91. With an expected increase in population throughout the area, levels of service on existing transportation corridors are projected to deteriorate substantially; the RCIP itself estimates that the State Route-60/Interstate-215 interchange alone will increase its number of vehicle trips from 170,000 to over 300,000 per day. Absent the western segment, traffic would continue to utilize City streets as connections and exacerbate existing conditions. In effect, the proposal now under consideration would do nothing to alleviate current — or future — traffic impacts to City streets, Interstate-15, or State Route-91. Greater focus should instead be placed on much needed capacity improvements that address present day concerns, rather than committing already limited resources to projects that address capacity for future needs in undeveloped areas. What is more, construction of the eastern segment would create a growth inducing impact for those communities to be served by its construction. More than providing a new transportation corridor, the eastern segment would enable the proliferation of piecemeal development further removed from employment centers, contributing directly to area -wide traffic congestion and increasingly worse levels of service. The City's Circulation and Community Mobility Element of the General Plan 2025, as well as County of Riverside's General Plan, included in its traffic analysis the full construction of the MCP project. As noted previously, construction of the western segment was expected to divert cut -through traffic from City streets, particularly from Alessandro Boulevard and Van Buren Boulevard. With the proposal to withdraw the western segment, levels of service on Alessandro Boulevard and Van Buren Boulevard would deteriorate to unacceptable service levels. In addition, the growth and densities approved in the County's General Plan and in neighboring jurisdictions are unattainable absent the full implementation of the MCP project — one of the necessary mitigation measures for the General Plans. Moreover, the new Countywide Traffic Model for Riverside County also includes the full MCP project. City's Recommendation To allow for improved traffic conditions, the City Council urges RCTC: • Commit to constructing the necessary improvements to Interstate-15 and the Interstate- 15/State Route-91 interchange first; • Improve Cajalco Road to six -lanes without precluding future improvements to an expressway or higher status; • Delay construction of the MCP project east of Interstate-215 until the necessary improvements to Interstate-15 and the Interstate-15/State Route-91 interchange are underway; • Delay any action refocusing the EIR/EIS for 90 days; and • Work with neighboring jurisdictions to reduce planned development east of Interstate-215. City staff appreciates your continued collaboration and looks forward to continue working with the RCTC and its staff. Please forward copies of all revised plans, staff reports, and environmental documents, as they pertain to this project for review. Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Moises A. Lopez, Associate Planner, at (951) 826- 5264 or by e-mail at mlopez@riversideca.gov.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The draft EIR/EIS for the MCP project was circulated for public review on October 10, 2008, with the close of the public comment period on January 8, 2009, providing a 90-day comment period. During this time, six public meetings/hearings were held: three public information meetings in late October 2008, two public hearings in November 2008 and a 1st District public meeting in December 2008. The Commission accepted public comments for the record at all of these meetings, along with comments via the website and email. Over 4,500 newsletters with comment cards were sent out in October 2008. Over 3,100 comments received from: " 50 public agencies and organizations " 10 large property owners " 240 individuals " Form letter from over 1 100 individuals nationwide Two key themes emerged in the public review comments: 1) Concern about the cost and timing of available funds for the project. Many comments noted that, given the current economy and difficulty in securing funding for the entire project, limited financial resources should be focused on areas of greatest need. Agenda Item 9 442 2) Although the public comments raised concerns about many aspects of the project throughout its entire length, many comments suggested that making improvements to existing facilities rather than building MCP would be a better expenditure of public funding in the western portion of the project area between 1-15 and 1-215. In this area, improving existing facilities such as Cajalco Road instead of building MCP would minimize impacts to the rural communities of Gavilan Hills and Lake Mathews Estates and minimize impacts to existing habitat reserves. Impacts to rural communities and existing habitat reserves were two major concerns raised during public comment. To address these concerns, the Commission as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as the lead agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and Ca[trans as the liaison to FHWA in confirming compliance with all applicable NEPA requirements, have developed an approach for completing the EIR/EIS process for the project that would refine the project purpose statement and refine the project alternatives to focus on the transportation needs between 1-215 to SR-79 as shown on -Attachment 1. Under this approach, the MCP project purpose and need statement would be refined to establish 1-215 as the western terminus of the project, with SR-79 remaining as the eastern terminus of the project. Such a refinement would still provide for logical termini and independent utility pursuant to FHWA requirements under 23 CFR 771.111 because: A. The project would connect logical termini (a north -south Interstate highway and a north -south State highway) and be of sufficient length (16 miles) to address environmental matters on a broad scope. B. The project would have independent utility as a usable and reasonable expenditure of funds even if no other transportation improvements were made in the area. C. The project would not preclude the consideration of other, reasonably foreseeable future transportation improvements. To address the refined project purpose statement, up to three modified build alternatives would be defined and evaluated that would consist of a parkway facility from 1-215 to SR-79 (these modified alternatives would follow the alignments for original Alternatives 4, 5, and 9 east of 1-215). While a revised notice of intent/notice of preparation (NOUNOP) would not need to be issued for the modified project, the Commission would conduct additional public outreach, including public information meetings and notifications through the project website and direct mail, to notify the public of the changes in the project. Agenda Item 9 • 443 " A recirculated draft EIR/supplemental draft EIS (RDEIR/SDEIS) evaluating the modified alternatives would be prepared and circulated with the appropriate notice of availability (NOA) and public review process (including public meetings to be held during recirculation). The RDEIR/SDEIS would also include discussions of the process to date and how the comments received during public review of the draft EIR/EIS led to a decision to refine the project purpose statement to focus on the area between 1-215 and SR-79. Construction phasing plans would be developed for each of the three modified build alternatives (1-215 to SR-79) to disclose the proposed project implementation to the public and how construction will be broken up into phases. In addition to including the analysis of up to three modified build alternatives and inclusion of a phasing plan and associated environmental analysis, the recirculated document would also be revised to address public comments received on the draft EIR/EIS. Following completion of public review of the recirculated document, a final EIR/EIS would be prepared. As lead agency under CEQA, the Commission would consider certifying the final EIR, and then would consider approval of one of the modified build alternatives. The Commission would then be responsible for advancing future design, right-of-way, and construction phases for the parkway alternative from 1-215 to SR-79. As lead agency under NEPA, FHWA would consider approval of the final EIS, and issuance of a record of decision (ROD) for one of the modified build alternatives. Fundamental to the refinement of the project purpose statement and alternatives is that no improvements between 1-15 and 1-215 would be planned or analyzed as part of the MCP project. The Riverside County Transportation Department's General Plan roadway improvements for Cajalco Road west of 1-215 would be analyzed in the MCP cumulative impacts assessment using the most current information available from the county; however, the Cajalco Road improvement projects will be subject to separate environmental review processes in the future with the Riverside County Transportation Department acting as the lead agency. The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) will have to be modified to match the refocused project description. Additionally, given that projected travel demand west of 1-215 still identifies a need for infrastructure improvements, even with thecounty's planned improvements to Cajalco Road, it is critical that a Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) corridor between I-215 and 1-15 remain in the RTP to not preclude consideration of future transportation improvements. The refocusing of the project and preparation of the RDEIR/SDEIS and will require additional time and budget. Approximately 18 months will be added to the completion schedule (Attachment 2). Staff is currently working with the team to Agenda Item 9 444 develop a revised scope of work. There is adequate budget to allow work to continue through the summer. Staff anticipates coming back to the Commission in the fall with a contract amendment to cover the revised scope.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the request of the Commission at its May 13 meeting, staff will make a presentation on the SR-91 HOV project status and scope. The SR-91 HOV project, from Adams Street to the 60/91 /215 interchange, constitutes the last segment of the SR-91 freeway to be improved through the 1989 Measure A sales tax measure. It is also one of the projects included in the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) portion of the Proposition 18 bond measure passed in 2006. The environmental document for the SR-91 HOV project was approved on August 31, 2007, and Caltrans District 8 is approximately 50% complete with the design phase. Caltrans and the Commission are jointly completing right-of-way activities. The project is scheduled to go to construction in June 2011. Attachment: SR-91 HOV Project Fact Sheet Agenda Item 10 448 STATE ROUTE 9 HOV PP�O�E�`T A project of the Riverside County Trans rtation Commission WHAT IS THE SR-91 HOV PROJECT? In order to improve mobility through the downtown Riverside area, the Riverside County Transportation Commission, in partnership with Caltrans is currently in the final design phase and right of way acquisition phase to construct one High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, also called a car pool lane, in each direction of State Route 91 (SR-91) from Adams Street to the, 60/91/215 interchange in the City of Riverside. The SR-91 is a primary truck and commuter route and carries approximately 170,000 vehicles per day within the project area on the existing three lanes in each direction. The route is often highly congested at current traffic Ievels.With Riverside County's population expected to reach 3.5 million by 2030, the vehicle pressure in this corridor will continue to increase.The improvements to the freeway through this widening project will help alleviate congestion through this hub. The cost of the project is estimated to be $273 million and is funded by Measure A, Riverside County's half -cent sales tax for transportation; federal funds; and $157 million of Corridor Mobility Improvement Account (CMIA) funds, the state Proposition IB funding. WHAT ARE THE PROJECT BENEFITS? The SR-91 freeway can be considered Riverside's Main Street and serves as the City of Riverside's primary freeway connection to communities including Corona, San Bernardino, and the entire inland region. Over the past few years, significant Measure A investments have been made to improve the 91 with the reconstruc- tion of the 60/91/215 interchange in Downtown Riverside and the widening of the freeway from Adams Street to the Orange County Line. One section of the freeway that has yet to be widened is the 6-mile segment between Adams Street and the 60/91/215 interchange. The addition of a carpool lane through this area will ensure that the entire freeway is at least four lanes wide in each direction. Moreover, the widening of the freeway and its ensuing invest- ment will lead to many other adjacent improvements including improved on and off -ramps at 14th Street and Arlington Avenue, relocating the 9th Street on ramp to loth Street, and the replacement of a number of bridges that cross the freeway such as 14th Street, Cridge Street, and Ivy Street. The overall result will be a state -of - the art transportation facility that serves motorists by adding capacity while easing access to and from the community which better serves businesses, employers and local residents. ADDITIONAL PROJECTS ALONG THE 91 The improvements between Adams Street and the 60/91/215 interchange are im- minent with construction beginning in 201 I, but additional projects along the corridor are in the works. RCTC is currently in the midst of preliminary engineering and environmental review to improve the 91 between Pierce Street in Riverside and the Orange County border. Improvements could include: • The addition of a general purpose lane in each direction, as approved in the voter -approved Measure plan • An improved direct connector between the eastbound 91 and the northbound 71 • The extension of the 91 Express Lanes from Orange County to Interstate 15 • Better freeway to freeway connectors at the 91 and 1-15 • Additional auxiliary or merge lanes to ease access throughout the freeway corridor In addition, the Orange County Transportation Authority and Caltrans are working to add an east- bound lane on the 91 between the Foothill/Eastern Toll Corridor (SR-241) and Serfas Club Drive in Corona. AN ONGOING COMMITMENT The importance of State Route 91 in terms of Riverside County's economy and mobility is indisput- able. Ics hardly surprising that significant amounts of funding have been set aside in Measure A for improvements along the freeway and for public transit investments including Metrolink commuter rail service that parallels the corridor. RCTC will continue its commitment to advancing improvements as quickly as possible, ar204 5R-91 HOV project in Downtown Riverside is yet another example of needed progress.
