MID COUNTY PARKWAY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Cathy Bechtel, Project Development Director, presented the recommendation to refocus the Mid County Parkway (MCP) project limits to Interstate 215 and State Route 79, discussing the following areas: • MCP study area in the draft environmental impact report/environmental impact statement (DEIR/EIS); • Recap of MCP DEIR/EIS public review period; • Summary of comments received on the DEIR/EIS; • Issues raised and key themes in public comments; • Refocused MCP project map; Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes June 10, 2009 Page 11 • Staff recommendations; • Benefits of a refocused project; • Policy considerations; • Next steps; and • MCP timeline. As part of the public record, Chair Magee noted the city of Riverside submitted correspondence dated June 10, 2009, opposing the Commission's proposal to refocus MCP to construct only the eastern segment between 1-215 and SR-79. Jennifer Harmon, Clerk of the Board, provided a copy of the correspondence to the Commissioners. Pete Bleckert, Moreno Valley resident, expressed support for the proposed refocusing of the MCP project due to the traffic impacts. Michelle Randall, Corona resident, expressed support for the proposed refocusing of the MCP project. However, she expressed concern that these improvements will destroy the only trail crossing for the 1-215 and asked the Commission to consider a link between the 1st and 5' Districts. Andy Melendrez, council member for the city of Riverside, expressed opposition for the proposed refocused MCP project to only construct the eastern portion due to traffic impacts on the city of Riverside. Mike Gardner, council member for the city of Riverside, requested a 90-day continuance to the September Commission meeting to address the impacts of the proposed refocused MCP project on the city of Riverside. Commissioner Steve Adams thanked council members Melendrez and Gardner for their comments.

In response to Commissioner Lowe's question regarding the timeline for the improvements along Cajalco Road, George Johnson replied the first segment, from 1-215 moving westerly to Wood Road, if funding is available, construction could start within two years. For the segment south of Lake Mathews Drive, there are environmental challenges that need to be addressed. If funding is available for this segment, construction could start in approximately five years. At Commissioner Craton's request, Cathy Bechtel discussed the three terminus alternatives for 1-215, project costs, and traffic projections. Commissioner Ron Roberts expressed support for the proposed refocusing of the MCP project. He stated the environmental issues on the western portion could suspend this project for many years resulting in traffic impacts on the southern portion of 1-215 that will impact the cities of Menifee, Murrieta, and Temecula.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its June 10 meeting, the Commission approved the FY 2009/10 through FY 2011/12 Short Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) for the city of Banning, city of Beaumont, city of Riverside Special Services, city of Corona, Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine), Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency and the Commission's Commuter Rail Program. As the transportation planning agency, the Commission is responsible for planning transit services, allocation of transit funds, operator oversight and performance monitoring. The SRTPs identify operating and capital budgets, funding sources, consolidated financial plan, and serve as blueprints for the future development of transit services, operations and infrastructure. The approved SRTPs provide the basis for the Commission's oversight activities to help establish system policy, determine appropriate service goals, and provide management with the necessary information to efficiently operate fixed routes, paratransit, and rail services. Agenda Item 6 SRTP Financial and Ridership Overview Based on submitted SRTPs for FY 2009/10, it is estimated that $198.9 million in funding is required to support the operating and capital requests for the provision of Riverside County transit services. The following table provides an overview of the operating and capital costs together with projected ridership levels by apportionment area.

The SRTPs are prepared under fiscally constrained economic conditions with declining revenue sources, particularly in LTF and Measure A and the elimination of STA funding beginning July 1, 2009. While constrained local funds have affected service, by leveraging new federal funds previously unavailable to the Commission and its operators, service has been expanded including RTA's new commuter link routes serving Hemet/San Jacinto, Escondido, and downtown Riverside. The plans are based on a conservative baseline budget estimates that operators can realistically and reasonably expect to get from known revenue sources. In general, the transit agencies planned their next year's operations at a similar funding level as this year with a slight decrease of 2.5% in operating expenses. Capital expenses, however, increased by about 48%. The increase in capital is mainly attributed to the substantial capital support needed for the Commuter Rail Program's Perris Valley Line project. Although local and state funds continued to spiral downward, approximately $31.9 million in stimulus funds under the American Agenda Item 6 • 2 " " " R e c o v e r y a n d R e i n v e s t m e n t A c t ( A R R A ) S e c t i o n s 5 3 0 7 a n d 5 3 1 1 p r o g r a m s s u p p l e m e n t e d t h e o p e r a t o r s w i t h t h e m u c h n e e d e d f u n d i n g t o s u p p o r t s o m e c a p i t a l t r a n s i t p r o j e c t s .

Request for Allocation of FY 2009/10 Federal Funding: Section 5307, Section 5309 and Section 5311 Section 5307 Formula Funds There are four urbanized areas in Riverside County that receive federal operating and capital grant funding through FTA's Section 5307 program. • Riverside/San Bernardino; • Hemet/San Jacinto; • Temecula/Murrieta; and • Indio/Cathedral City/Palm Springs. Attachment 2 to this staff report is the proposed Section 5307 POP for Riverside County. The Commission must develop and approve a POP for each urbanized area and conduct a public hearing prior to an operator submitting its Section 5307 grant application to FTA. If the draft POP is not amended through the public hearing process, the POP will become final as presented and will be included in an approved RTIP, which is subsequently forwarded to the Southern California Association of Governments for review and processing.

The LTF funds are derived from % cent of the state retail sales tax collected in each county, which was increased from 7.75% to 8.75% on April 1, 2009. The state Board of Equalization returns the sales tax revenues to the county of Riverside where it is held until the Commission provides written allocation instructions for disbursement. It is estimated that LTF revenue for transit services will be $55,225,646, a 13.8% drop in LTF revenue compared to revised FY 2008/09 projections'. In March 2009, the STA funding for transit was completely eliminated by the state. There are approximately $11 million in STA reserve funds at the end of FY 2008/09 and a substantial amount (60%) from this fund balance will be utilized for capital projects in FY 2009/10. Prior to approving the STA allocations, the Commission must adopt the attached resolution as specified in the TDA statutes and California Code of Regulations. The Commission must allocate funds to support the transit services and capital projects contained in the FY 2009/10 SRTP in order for the public transit operators to claim LTF and/or STA funds. The requested allocations are consistent with the approved SRTPs and the funds are explicitly for the projects as stated in the approved plans. The specific operators requested TDA allocations for FY 2009/10 are outlined in Attachment 3 to this agenda item. Staff recommendation is to approve the TDA and FTA funds as presented. Any modifications in farebox revenues, federal grants, Measure A funding or carry over funds may require operators to revise their services to operate within the available funding. ' Of the $55,225,646 LTF amount, $5,522,565 has been set aside as reserve funds based on Commission approved policy.

Resolution of this issue for FY 2009/10 is the subject of a separate agenda item. Accordingly, the annual certifications will be requested upon adoption of the FY 2009/10 MOE baseline. The required CIP and supporting documentation has been received from all of the local agencies. In addition to the current CIP, the city of Wildomar has submitted a request to carry over the FY 2008/09 allocation of Measure A Local Streets and Roads funds into FY 2009/10; the city of Wildomar was incorporated on July 1, 2008, and had not previously submitted a CIP for FY 2008/09. Approval of this CIP will allow for release of the FY 2008/09 Local Streets and Roads funds to the city. The FY 2009/10 disbursements for all agencies are expected to begin in September 2009. In order to respond to future agency CIP amendment requests, staff is requesting that the Commission authorize the Executive Director to approve minor amendment requests that do not exceed the agency's allocated amount. The approval process would be in the form of a letter from the Executive Director in response to the agency letter requesting the amendment. Minor amendment requests would include adjustments to funding amounts for individual projects or project category, adding an eligible project(s), and project deletions. The CIPs received are posted on the Commission's website and are on file at the Commission office. Attachment: FY 2010-14 Measure A Five -Year Capital Improvement Plans — Posted on Commission Website Agenda Item 8B • 26 " A G E N D A I T E M 8 C RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: July 8, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Technical Advisory Committee Shirley Medina, Programming and Planning Manager THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: 2009 Measure A Maintenance of Effort Base Year BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE, TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Approve using the 1989 Measure A Maintenance of Effort (MOE) base year amount for FY 2009/10 only; and 2) For cities incorporated after 1989, approve using the Proposition 42 MOE amount for FY 2009/10 only. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As with the 1989 Measure, the 2009 Measure A ordinance requires local agencies to meet a MOE to ensure that Measure A funds do not supplant local discretionary funds for streets and road improvements. If local agencies do not meet their respective MOE level in a given year, their Measure A Local Streets and Roads allocation will be withheld the following year. At the May 11, 2009, Special Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting, the TAC recommended maintaining the 1989 Measure A MOE base year amount after extensive discussion regarding the State Controller Streets Report and the inconsistencies and variances involved in the development and reporting of street expenditures for these reports. Further, the development of a MOE level under today's economic environment complicates the ability to establish levels that reflect local discretionary spending on streets and road improvements. As a result, the TAC and staff recommend allowing more time to review different calculation methodologies to determine the best base year methodology that would result in fair and equitable MOE levels that the cities will be measured against until the next review cycle in 2019. Agenda Item 8C 27 There are four cities that currently do not have a MOE base level because the cities were incorporated after the 1989 Measure A MOE levels were established. These cities are: Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Murrieta, and Temecula. Staff reviewed different calculation methodologies to apply for FY 2009/10 and is recommending the use of an existing MOE amount that cities currently comply with to receive Proposition 42 funds. The Proposition 42 MOE is based on the State Controller's Streets Report averaging general fund streets and road expenditures for FY 1996/97 — 1998/1999. The newly incorporated cities of Wildomar and Menifee will not have a MOE base amount until such time that a three-year history of expenditures has been reported; however, they will receive Measure A Local Streets and Roads allocations. Attached are the recommended MOE base year amounts for the cities.

SUBJECT: Amendments with Zamiski Construction and Real Estate Consulting Services, Inc., for Property Maintenance Services BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND 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 extend the current agreements on a month -to -month basis; 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 extend the current agreements on a month -to -month basis; 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 Agenda Item 8D 30 departments, or from staff inspection of the parcel(s), and work is assigned on a 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 Commission and Bechtel staff's cost estimate, staff negotiates with the contractor for a lower price. If the contractor cannot reduce its cost proposal, staff asks if the other contractor 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 regular 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 amendments 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 extend the current agreements on a month -to -month basis.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual (Manual) was developed to establish the design guidelines to be used for future facilities. This manual will provide guidelines for developing commuter rail stations, park and ride facilities, and multimodal transit centers developed by the Commission. This item was presented at the April 27 Plans and Program Committee meeting and the May 13 Commission meeting and a thirty day comment period was established to allow for the Commissioners and city staff to review the proposed manual and provide comments. Commissioner Comments and Responses The following comments were received with regard to the Manual: • Focus on solar power. o The issue of implementing solar power at the station was reviewed and where it can be implemented in a cost effective manner it will be done. An additional effort will be placed on designing solar carports and shelters into the project designs. • Allow for personal touch and artwork at the stations. o The Manual allows for artwork and design elements to be included at the stations. With the Perris Valley Line project, the funding sources for artwork have to be outside of the limited project costs allowed for stations.

These stations in particular will need to be kept within the program's CEI and reduce long term Operations and Maintenance Costs. RCTC has operated five (5) Commuter Rail stations over the past fifteen (15) years. This experience has indicated that the cost to operate and maintain the stations in a condition acceptable to the patrons is constantly rising. The design engineer when implementing these design criteria should focus on the following overall design requirements/goals: • Safety and Security • Environmental Sustainability • Facility Standardization • Compliance with the Cost Effective Index • Reduce Construction Costs • Reduced Operations Costs • Reduced Maintenance Costs • Ease of Maintenance • Ease of Future Expansion (addition of amenities as funding becomes available) 1.3 CHANGES/DEVIATIONS AND UPDATES Any proposed changes or deviations from these criteria must be submitted to the Rail Capital Projects Manager and the Rail Manager for consideration. The scope of the change/deviation will be reviewed by the Rail Capital Projects Manager and the Rail Manager for determination if Commission action will be required. If Commission action is determined to not be required, the change/deviation will be reviewed by both managers and will only be implemented upon a consensus vote by the Rail Capital Projects Manager and the Rail Manager. Commission Action will be required for the following changes/deviations: • Any change/deviation from Section 3.14: Off Site Improvements • Any change/deviation which negatively impacts the Project's Cost Effective Index • Any change/deviation which results in the relocation of a station platform • Any change/deviation which affects the "Key Hole" bus loop station approach • Any change/deviation which requires additional funding that cannot be covered by the project, the requesting agency, or is not considered by FTA as a concurrent non - project cost 1.4 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Technical terms used in this document are defined in At -a 1.5 ACRONYMS Acronyms used in this document are defined in . 07_006+ RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 2 43 " " " R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l 2 . 0 R I V E R S I D E C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N C O M M I S S I O N ( R C T C ) 2 . 1 I N T R O D U C T I O N R C T C i s R i v e r s i d e C o u n t y ' s p r i m a r y t r a n s p o r t a t i o n a g e n c y c h a r g e d b y s t a t e l a w w i t h t h e r e s p o n s i b i l i t y o f p l a n n i n g a n d f u n d i n g t r a n s p o r t a t i o n i m p r o v e m e n t s .

Under the direction of SCRRA, Metrolink rapidly evolved into one of the fastest growing and most recognized inter -regional commuter rail systems in the country Four years after service began, facing significant and consistent growth in ridership. Metrolink increased its number of passenger cars. This growth necessitated the expansion of the RCTC owned and operated Metrolink Commuter Rail Stations from two in 1993 to four by 1995 and five by 2002. In 2002, as Metrolink celebrated its first decade of service, it announced the addition of the 91 Line, connecting Riverside and Los Angeles via Orange County. Due to this continued success of the Metrolink Commuter Rail system RCTC has expanded the existing stations to accommodate additional riders and address their needs and concerns. RCTC, for the most part, has contracted directly with engineers, architects, and contractors to design and build their Commuter Rail Stations. The stations were designed by various architects following ;the SCRRA Design Criteria Manual and other relevant codes and regulations, including but not limited Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF), Union Pacific Railway (UP), State, City, and County ordinances. The stations are constantly being expanded to address patron's needs for additional parking, safe access to the platforms, and additional amenities to address their comments on the services provided. In the original Measure, only the Perris Valley Line (PVL) remains to be completed. As part of its original mandate, RCTC acquired the San Jacinto Branch Line (SJBL) from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad (now BNSF). This 38.3 mile corridor will serve Riverside County residents between Riverside and Perris. RCTC purchased the SJBL and adjacent properties in 1993 with Western County Measure A and state rail bonds. BNSF retains exclusive freight operating rights, serving its customers along the line, and will continue to maintain the right-of-way until such time as passenger service begins. RCTC has retained a design engineering consultant and is performing the engineering design of the extension of the Metrolink Service to the City of Perris. This Commuter Rail Station Design Criteria Manual will be used to as a basis for the design of the new Stations along the PVL, and any additional stations or Multimodal Facilities in Riverside County. Perris Valley Line Extension The Perris Valley Line will serve the cities of Riverside, Moreno Valley, March Air Reserve Base, Perris, Hemet and San Jacinto, 07 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Pa 4 • • • 45 " " C u r r e n t R C T C S t a t i o n s R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l 2 . 2 R C T C M E T R O L I N K C O M M U T E R R A I L S T A T I O N S 6 - 0 4 . 6 1 t r o k R C T C c u r r e n t l y o w n s , o p e r a t e s , a n d m a i n t a i n s f i v e ( 5 ) M e t r o l i n k C o m m u t e r R a i l S t a t i o n s , t h e s e a r e : 4 0 6 6 V i n e S t .

Loading and unloading areas for buses, minibuses, vanpools, and cars shall be provided as appropriate for the anticipated vehicle population. 3.4.2 Bus Loops All efforts should be made to separate pedestrian traffic from bus travel ways. RCTC prefers a bus loading / unloading area to be designed as a "Key Hole" layout, similar to the Pedley Metrolink Station. This layout separates the pedestrian traffic from the station parking lot and the bus routes thereby reducing the chance for conflicts between the two. RCTC prefers, as funding allows, the bus loading / unloading areas to be paved with concrete to reduce future maintenance costs. It has been noted at the other RCTC Riverside Line stations with asphalt paved Bus Loops have developed cracks resulting in water infiltration and subsequent pavement failure requiring extensive and costly repairs, while Pedley's concrete bus loop has not required any repairs. See Appendix A for how the "Key Hole" approach will be used on the PVL Stations. 3.4.3 ADA Issues, Platform, Parking Lot and Street Access All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.4.2 shall be applied to RCTC Station design. The stations will also meet required Public Utilities Commission safety standards as appropriate. 3.4.4 Intermodal Issues RCTC will support all forms of alternative access to the stations and will design the stations to encourage pedestrian and bicycle access and ease of transfers off of connecting busses and shuttles. All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.4.3 shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. RCTC will also look at potential "Park and Ride" opportunities for Stations located near. major interstate or highway facilities. This option may provide other funding options and allow for the expansion of the stations or placement of additional amenities. This will be analyzed on a case by case basis and will only be implemented if the parking required for Station patrons is not impacted.

RCTC is developing standardized signage requirements that will be implemented across all RCTC Stations. The Signage requirements will detail the standard signs to be placed at each station, which is intended to reduce the initial station cost and long term signage replacement costs. The standardization of the signs will allow for RCTC to make bulk purchases of replacement signs that can be used at all stations and will eliminate the high cost to manufacture individual signs for each station. The base station design for PVL shall only incorporate SCRRA and RCTC standard signage, any additional unique signage will need to be funded by the requesting agency or purchased and installed at a later date when funding becomes available. RCTC's stations located along BNSF's mainlines will also incorporates signage as required by BNSF and AMTRAK. The Stations must conform to the SCRRA and RCTC Signage Standards which upon completion will be included in Appendix C. 3.4.6 Parking Lot Layout As stated in Section 3.4.2, RCTC's preferred layout for the parking lot / bus loop configuration is a "Key Hole" approach, with the Bus Loop centered to the platform with parking on both side of the "Key Hole". This configuration separates the Bus Traffic from the passenger vehicles and reduces the potential for bus / passenger conflicts. The parking lot layout should also include "Kiss-n-Ride" short term parking and "Rideshare to Rail" long term assigned parking. The PVL station layouts are included in Appendix A. Traffic Engineer The design consultant shall consult with a Traffic Engineer (TE) when designing the layout of the Parking Lots. The TE will review and determine the best flow and routes for vehicles to enter, exit, and circulate through the station. • RCTC prefers the number of entrance and exists to the station to be constrained as much as possible, while still remaining complaint with City, County, State and Federal Requirements, Codes and Regulations. The advantage of constraining the number of entrance/exits to the station will allow for controlled exiting from the station, minimal points of conflict with adjacent City/County Streets, better Security Control of the Station, reduced intersection signalization requirements, reduced construction and operations costs. 07_ 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 10 • • 51 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual • Reducing the number of entrance/exists allows RCTC's security consultants to focus their monitoring and better patrol the stations. • RCTC intends to provide positive security control at the station's during night time non -operational hours. This positive control will consist of gated entrance/exists to the station, which will be secured by the onsite Security personnel. • The flow of the vehicles through the parking lot can be bi-directional or uni- directional based on the traffic engineer's analysis and recommendations. • The parking lot layout and flow should be reviewed to identify and reduce conflicts with vehicles traveling up/down the lanes and vehicles backing out. Exit Lanes The parking layout should be designed so turning movements from the body of the parking lot are impeded at the neck of the exit lanes, thereby reducing the back up of vehicles into the parking lot. The Exit Lanes should be designed to accommodate as much vehicle stacking as possible, so that it does not back up into the whole parking lot. The station design engineer and TE should design the parking layout and the exit lanes to provide for controlled exiting and to minimize the back up of cars into the individual parking lot lanes. Parking Spaces Parking Space size shall be based on City, County, State, or Federal Requirements. The design engineer should also include the following RCTC required specialty parking spaces. • Rideshare to Rails — RCTC typical requires 10 parking spaces be identified with this text. The spaces should be located close to the ticket vending canopy. • Kiss-n-Ride — Some stalls, typically 4 to 6, shall be designated for the short term pick up and drop off parking. These spaces are to supplement the Kiss-n-Ride drop off areas near the platforms. The stalls should be located close to the loading/unloading platform. • RCTC will review the potential for identifying one or two parking spaces for Electric Vehicle Recharging. This will be determined on case -by -case bases for each station. Specialty reserved parking for security and maintenance will also be identified. • Place Car Stops to impede vehicles from hitting light standards or from extending over landscape areas or walkways. The use of recycled materials for Car Stops is preferred. D7_0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 11 52 a.ia.wnbm.r..wi. RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual Pavement Section The parking lot pavement section should be determined through a Geotechnical Investigation of sampling, testing, analysis, and report development with specific recommendations based on the existing soil conditions. The pavement sections should be sized to provide the longest life span with minimal maintenance and rehabilitation. The design engineer should include as part of their design, Operations and Maintenance Recommendations for the pavement, i.e. slurry seal every 10 years, pavement review every month/year etc. These recommendations should ensure the longest life possible and reduce future pavement maintenance costs. The design engineer should review and provide recommendations for the use of "Green Pavement alternatives". Some examples are rubberized asphalt, recycled or miscellaneous base etc. Due to drainage issues at the existing stations, the design engineer shall look at pavement capping materials that would provide better drainage, eliminate ponding, and water infiltration. Parking Lot Drainage RCTC's existing Metrolink Stations pavement has started to deteriorate, which is resulting in excessive maintenance and rehabilitation costs. It appears much of this deterioration is resulting from water infiltration, runoff from the planters, and/or ponding. The station design engineer should review the site drainage and determine the best possible way to route the site runoff to drainage facilities, ensure that the site is graded to provide maximum run off and reduce ponding, and should review and determine if concrete curb and gutter, and/or concrete drainage swales are necessary to minimize run off damage to the pavement. The design engineer must ensure that the site complies with all Storm Water requirements, including potentially on -site treatment. In addition, the re -use of site drainage for irrigation purposes should be explored to determine the viability of this option, including review the construction costs, maintenance costs, and water savings. Parking Lot Striping The materials used for parking lot striping should provide a long term life span and minimal maintenance while also emitting low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) s. o Wfi4 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 12 • • • 53 " " w e t u m w e R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l R C T C w i l l r e q u i r e s p e c i a l t y p a v e m e n t m a r k i n g s f o r s o m e o f t h e p a r k i n g s p a c e s w h i c h a r e l i s t e d b e l o w : " R i d e S h a r e t o R a i l s " K i s s - n - R i d e " E l e c t r i c V e h i c l e R e c h a r g i n g S t a t i o n s " S e c u r i t y & M a i n t e n a n c e C o n d u i t S y s t e m s C o n d u i t s w i l l b e r e q u i r e d f o r e l e c t r i c a l , c o m m u n i c a t i o n , a n d i r r i g a t i o n s y s t e m s w i t h i n t h e p a r k i n g l o t .

Light fixtures should be selected based on their energy efficiency to reduce long term operations costs. In addition, they should also be designed to direct the light onto the parking lot and minimize light pollution to surrounding neighborhoods. Some lighting options that should be explored during the design are — Solar Powered Lights, LED, and any others that will reduce the power usage of the station and reduce operational and maintenance costs. The Light fixtures should be manufactured of materials to provide a long service life and not require extraordinary maintenance. The parking lot lighting should be designed on multiple circuits to allow for a portion of the station lights to be cycled off during non -operational hours to reduce energy costs. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing the existing lighting and electrical systems at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in recommendations for modification of the systems to reduce operations and maintenance costs. These recommendations will be incorporated into this Manual once they are reviewed and approved by the Commission and will be included in Appendix D. Landscaping Refer to Section 3.8.2 of this manual — Parking Lot Landscaping. 3.5 PLATFORMS All platforms will be designed to provide safe and clear access to the trains. 3.5.1 Consideration of Future Track and Platform Length Additions All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.1 Consideration of Future Track and Platform Length Additions shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. The base station design must include the construction of SCRRA's required 680-foot long platform and must be designed to accommodate the future expansion of the platform to 850-feet with minimal impact to items constructed as part of the base design. The base platform should be designed to accommodate the following: • Ease of future expansion with minimal disturbance and damage to existing conduits and structures. • Conduits placed within the base platform length should be designed for future extension. 07 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 14 • • 55 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual • Construction and expansion joints should be spaced to accommodate the future extension and also provide a uniform look. • Tactile placed along the platform edge should be spaced to accommodate full sections and maintain a consistent spacing upon expansion of the platform. • Additional Platform Canopies may be placed in later years after the station becomes operational and the platform should be designed to accommodate them. The platform should be designed for the canopies to be placed equidistant from each other for the future platform length. 3.5.3 Clearances All requirements outline in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.3 shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. Along the PVL all attempts should be made to provide a maintenance road along the track alignment with access points from adjacent City, County Streets, or RCTC owned property. 3.5.4 General Configuration Dimensions All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.4 General Configuration shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. • The PVL will be double tracked along some of its alignment and potentially in the future along the full alignment. BNSF will be providing freight service along the PVL with most of their customers located along the west side of the property. Potentially the western most track will be allocated for BNSF freight service, with sporadic Metrolink use, therefore the platform design should anticipate this rail usage and the platform/s should be placed accordingly. • The track usage maybe altered in the future and the platforms should be designed to be easily reconfigured to serve the modified usage. This may include the future design and construction of additional full service or emergency platforms. • The platform locations will also be dependent upon the property acquired for the project and any potential utility conflicts. Detectable Warning Strip All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.4 General Configuration subsection Detectable Warning Strip shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. 07 wea RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Pa_e 15 56 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual RCTC also requires the Detectable Warning Strip (Tactile tile) meet the performance criteria detailed in Appendix E. CPUC Plafform Edge Warning Stripe All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.4 General Configuration subsection CPUC Stripe shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. • The paint used for the CPUC Stripe and the warning text shall be of a quality to resist scratches, scuffs, pealing, cracking, gum, sun damage(fading), water resistant, and provide for a minimum 10 year life. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing, sampling, and testing the paint systems used at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in paint system recommendations for use at all stations. These recommendations will be incorporated into this Manual once they are reviewed and approved by the Commission and will be included in Appendix F. CPUC ADA Train Access Ramps All requirements outline in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.4 General Configuration subsection CPUC Ramps shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. • The ramps should be designed for the future extension of the platforms. Therefore, they should be designed in a way that their removal will not damage the end of the plafform or the tactile tile. Material All platforms will be constructed out of standard concrete materials. No future station will be designed to include pavers or decorative features on the platform. These Pose a significant ongoing maintenance concern. Conduit Systems All requirements outline in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.4 General Configuration subsection Conduit Systems shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. • Conduits wherever possible shall be located behind the platform, landscaped or under non -paved areas, with only laterals extending under the concrete platform. o7_ 0064 RCTC Facile Design Criteria Manual Page 16 57 " R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l " T h e C o n d u i t r o u t e s s h o u l d b e p l a c e d s o t h a t i f t h e r e p a i r s a r e p e r f o r m e d o n l y s m a l l s e c t i o n s o f c o n c r e t e w i l l n e e d t o b e r e m o v e d a n d t h e r e p a i r e d s e c t i o n s w i l l n o t i m p a c t t h e o v e r a l l a e s t h e t i c l o o k o f t h e p l a t f o r m .

Potential Future Pedestrian Overcrossinqs At the time of issuance of this manual it is not anticipated that pedestrian overcrossing will be required at any of the proposed Stations along the PVL. Even though overcrossings are not envisioned at this time, the platforms should be constructed to allow their placement in the future if necessary. The platforms should be designed for the potential placement of Pedestrian Overcrossing at the mid -point of the platform. Platform Canopies should not be placed in the area where the potential Overcrossing towers would be constructed. The design should not place any conduits within the area where the Pedestrian Tower would be placed to reduce future relocations. The Station designer should envision how a potential Pedestrian Overcrossing would fit within the station and how it would be constructed and design the station layout accordingly. Overcrossings are discussed in more detail in section 3.7.2 of this manual. 3.5.5 Mini -High Platforms All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.5 Mini -High Platforms shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. • The Mini -High platforms should be constructed so they can be relocated in the future when the station platforms are extended. • The removal and relocation of the Mini -High Platforms should not result in damage to the platform or require saw cutting or demolition of the platform. • The Mini -High Platform should also be designed for the future installation of a Canopy, similar to Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station. • This canopy will also need to be designed to be removed and relocated with the Mini -High Platform. • The electrical and communication conduits in the Mini -High Platform canopy should be designed to be cut to grade, of the station platform, caped and covered with a pull box for future use. 3.5.6 Lighting All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.6 Lighting shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. Safety and security will be a critical factor in determining the amount of lighting required in the parking lots. The light poles and light fixtures should be uniform across all the stations, thereby providing an economy of scale when purchasing the poles and fixtures. This will of oose RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 19 60 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual also reduce RCTC's maintenance costs by allowing RCTC to bulk purchase replacement parts and poles and not require unique items for each station. In addition, light standards should not be chosen based on their aesthetic design if it requires additional fixtures to provide the needed lighting requirements. Light fixtures should be selected based on their energy efficiency to reduce long term operations costs. In addition, they should also be designed to direct the light onto the parking lot and minimize light pollution to surrounding neighborhoods. Some lighting options that should be explored during the design are — Solar Powered Lights, LED, and any others that will reduce the power usage of the station and reduce operational and maintenance costs. The Light fixtures should be manufactured of materials to provide a long service life and not require extraordinary maintenance. The parking lot lighting should be designed on multiple circuits to allow for a portion of the station lights to be cycled off during non -operational hours. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing the existing lighting and electrical systems at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in recommendations for modification of the system to reduce operations and maintenance costs. These recommendations will be incorporated into this Manual once they are reviewed and approved by the Commission and will be included in Appendix D. 3.5.7 Canopies The requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.7 Canopies shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following exceptions and additions. Exception: • For opening day, potentially only one (1) Canopy will be constructed. This canopy will be centrally located along the platform or entrance to the platform and will include the ticket vending machine and ticket validator. This constraint is directly related to the Cost Effective Index Criteria. If additional funding can be located then additional canopies can be designed and placed on opening day. This additional funding and work must be considered "concurrent non -project costs" by FTA for it to be incorporated for opening day. Therefore, Metrolink's suggestion that the canopies cover approximately 20% of the platform length will not be complied with on opening day. As funding becomes available additional canopies will be placed and the suggested coverage will be met. Additions to the criteria: o7_ 0064 RCTC Facility Design Crileria Manual Page 20 • 61 >a.s, RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual • The Canopies should be designed in a uniform manner to minimize the construction and long term maintenance costs. By having a uniform design it will be easier and cost effective for RCTC to make repairs. • The use of Translucent Ceiling panels is not recommended. The panels were used at the North Main Corona Station and they do not reflect enough light at night from the upward firing light fixtures. • The canopies should be designed to allow for ease of cleaning and maintenance. The design should not be complicated or require special cleaning or maintenance materials or equipment. The electrical elements need to be secured enough so the structure can be pressure washed. • The main central canopy should be designed to allow for future structural expansion as funding becomes available. • The design engineer should explore the use of "off the shelf' Canopies and Shelters, some examples are shown in Appendix G. The "off the shelf Canopies would make it easier for RCTC to add canopies as funding becomes available and would not require specialized design efforts, which would reduces the overall project cost. In addition, these "off the shelf canopies would make it easier to repair or replace one in the future if they become damaged. • Benches shall be placed under the canopies to allow for the patrons to sit protected from inclement weather. • The canopies should be designed to address potential site specific weather conditions, i.e. excessive wind or dust. • The design engineer should review the option of solar powered canopies to supplement their electrical needs. A cost comparison should be provided between a standard canopy and solar powered canopy. • The Canopies shall be designed to impede the roosting of birds. The structure should be designed or have anti -bird roosting items installed if necessary. Some examples of the Canopies that RCTC would like to have the design engineer review and explore for possible incorporation into the project are included in Appendix G. 3.5.7.1 Paint The paint used for the Canopies shall be of a quality to resist scratches, scuffs, pealing, cracking, gum, sun damage(fading), water resistant, chalking, and provide for a minimum 25 year life. 07_0%4 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 21 62 cti>wi RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual The paint selected should minimize future maintenance costs and reduce the need for repainting in the future. To reduce RCTC operational and maintenance costs the Canopies should be uniform in color at each station and if possible across all the stations along the PVL. Specialty colors shall not be specified only standard colors shall be used. This will reduce the potential of not being able to match the paint color when touch-ups are required or when acquiring additional paint in the future. The paint should be graffiti resistant or have an anti -graffiti coating. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing, sampling, and testing the paint systems used at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in paint system recommendations for use at all the stations. These recommendations will be incorporated into this Manual once they are reviewed and approved by the Commission and will be included in Appendix F. 3.5.7.2 Conduits Please refer to Section 3.5.4 General Configuration Sub Section Conduits for the required Conduits to the Main and Platform Canopies for Power and Communications. 3.5.7.3 Canopy Amenities The design engineer should plan for the placement of the following items on or within the canopies. Not all the items will be placed on opening day some will be placed as funding becomes available. Main Canopy • CCTV Cameras (One (1) on opening day and one (1) or two (2) additional in the future) • Lights (Opening day) • Changeable Message Sign (One (1) opening day additional ones in the future) • Future Solar Powered Lighting (Opening or future depending available funding) • Heaters (Future) • LCD TV Displays (Future) • Mister system (Future) • Signage (Opening day) • Site Specific Signage or Artwork (Future) • Benches (Opening day or with future expansion) • TVM (One (1) opening day and one (1) additional in the future) • Ticket Validator (Two (2) opening day) • Public Telephones (One (1) opening day, no additional ones in the future) • Station Emergency Phone (One (1) installed in the future) • Wi-Fi Base Station (One (1) installed in the future) 0 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 22 • 63 Walk Wolemelaka4.eria. RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual • Vending Machines (One (1) opening day and one (1) or more in the future) • Newspaper Rack (Opening day — adjacent to the canopy not inside or covered by the canopy.) • Information Kiosks (One (1) opening day and one (1) additional in the future) The main canopy area should have a large concrete paved area to allow for the patrons to gather, purchase tickets, use the Ticket Validator, review train schedules, and wait for their train. On opening day this area should be considered the main gathering and waiting area and should be designed as such. As funding becomes available and as other canopies are added, then the patrons should be encouraged to spread out under the platform canopies, but the main canopy will still house the TVM and Validator. The design engineer should plan for the placement of the following items on or within the future platform canopies. These canopies will not be placed on opening day of the station but will be placed in the future as funding becomes available. Platform Canopies • Benches (Adequate number and size to cover the span of the canopy when the canopies are installed) • CCTV Cameras (Support the placement of one (1) at each canopy, cameras to be placed when the canopies are installed or in the future) • Lights (When canopy is installed) • Changeable Message Sign (Support the placement of one (1) at each canopy when the canopies are installed) • Future Solar Powered Lighting (Installation depending on available funding) • Heaters (Support the placement at each canopy when the canopies are installed. System installation dependent on available funding) • Mister system (Support the placement at each canopy when the canopies are installed. System installation dependent on available funding) • Signage (When canopy is installed) • Site Specific Signage or Artwork (Installation dependent on available funding) • Station Emergency Phone (Installation dependent on available funding) 3.5.8 Benches and Other Platform Furniture All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.8 Benches and Other Platform Furniture shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. Benches RCTC requires benches have the following: • Individual arm rests to impeded people from laying down across the bench • Have a back to sit against • Can be metal or have recycled plastic slates 07_0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 23 64 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual • The newer benches used by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) are desirable and should be reviewed for incorporation into the project. The benches should be consistent between the Stations, which will allow RCTC to bulk purchase the benches thereby reducing the cost. Also having consistent Benches between the Stations will allow for ease of maintenance and replacement as needed. 3.5.8.1 Paint Any painted surfaces on the benches or other platform furniture should be coated with a paint that is durable and of a quality to resist scratches, scuffs, pealing, cracking, gum, sun damage(fading), water resistant; chalking, and provide for a minimum 25 year life. The paint selected should minimize future maintenance costs and reduce the need for repainting in the future. To reduce RCTC operational and maintenance costs the furniture should be uniform in color at each station and if possible across all the stations along the PVL. Specialty colors shall not be specified only standard colors shall be used. This will reduce the potential of not being able to match the paint color when touch-ups are required or when acquiring additional paint in the future. The paint should be graffiti resistant or have an anti -graffiti coating. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing, sampling, and testing the paint systems used at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in paint system recommendations for use at all the stations. These recommendations will be incorporated into this Manual once they are reviewed and approved by the Commission and will be included in Appendix F. 3.5.9 TVM Pad All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.9 TVM Pad shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. The TVMs should be located at the main Canopy area for opening day and in the future. The TVMs shall be protected from adverse weather conditions and protected so that they cannot be removed or tore out by vehicles. The area where the TVMs are located should be protected by removable and fixed concrete bollards. The design engineer should took at the option of using lighted bollards around the TVMs. 3.5.10 Ticket Validiators All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.5.10 Ticket Validators shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. 07 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 24 • 65 " t e m V a l s i n k o l s w a s k e R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l T h e s t a t i o n s h o u l d b e d e s i g n e d t o a l l o w f o r t h e p l a c e m e n t o f a d d i t i o n a l v a l i d a t o r s a t t h e e n d s o f t h e p l a t f o r m . 3 . 5 . 1 1 S i g n s P a r k i n g L o t A l l r e q u i r e m e n t s o u t l i n e d i n S C R R A D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l s e c t i o n 7 . 5 . 1 1 S i g n s s u b s e c t i o n P a r k i n g L o t s h a l l b e a p p l i e d t o R C T C S t a t i o n d e s i g n w i t h t h e f o l l o w i n g a d d i t i o n a l r e q u i r e m e n t s a t t h e e n d o f t h i s s e c t i o n .

RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual The design engineer shall review each site to determine the existing drainage paths and how they needed to be modified to accommodate the stations. The design engineer shall ensure the drainage achieves the following: • Eliminates ponding • Eliminates water infiltration under the pavement. • Place curb and gutter where needed. • Place concrete drainage swales or cross gutters to eliminate damage to the asphalt paving. • Contain the runoff and detain it on site so as to control its release and not overwhelm the downstream facilities. • Study the potential for on -site collection of runoff, treatment, and reuse for irrigation purposes. 3.6 FENCING 3.6.1 Parking Lot Fence The stations should be designed with perimeter fencing as part of the start up design, if financially feasible. If the funding is not available the fencing to be installed as part of the initial construction then it should be designed for future installation. The fencing should consist of wrought iron coated with water and rust resistant paint. The fence should be located along the station's perimeter thereby directing walking station patrons to pedestrian entrances to the station. Any irrigation heads near the fence should be placed so that the spray does not fall or splash back onto the fencing. Locating the fence and irrigation system should be coordinated between the Station designer and landscape architect. The fence should be designed and located to reduce long term maintenance costs and not be exposed to potential water damage. The fence should be 6-feet tall and designed to impede people climbing it. The fence should not be designed with razor or barb wire on top and should be aesthetically designed to blend in with the station and surrounding buildings or properties. The fence should be painted black to remain consistent with other RCTC stations, thereby reducing maintenance costs by not requiring specialty paint for each station. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing, sampling, and testing the paint systems used at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in paint system recommendations for use at all the stations. These recommendations will be incorporated into this Manual once they are reviewed and approved by the Commission and will be included in AppE'ntlix . 3.6.2 Parking Lot Gates 07_0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 26 • • • 67 " " R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l T h e s t a t i o n s s h o u l d b e d e s i g n e d w i t h e n t r a n c e / e x i t g a t e s c o n n e c t i n g t o t h e p e r i m e t e r f e n c i n g a s p a r t o f t h e s t a r t u p d e s i g n , i f f i n a n c i a l l y f e a s i b l e .

In addition, by having similar fencing at all the stations it will allow for easier maintenance, by allowing RCTC to develop standard maintenance procedures for all the stations. Also RCTC will not have to contract with specialized fence manufactures to make any necessary repairs. 3.6.4 Right -of -Way Fencing All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.6.2 Right -of -Way Fencing shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements at the end of this section. For additional requirements please refer to RCTC Commuter Rail Station Design Criteria Manual Sections 3.6.1 and 3.6.2. 3.7 PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.7 Pedestrian Crossings shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements at the end of this section. The design engineer should be aware that SCRRA is currently revising their design criteria manual. SCRRA has not provided a date when this manual will be available, but has notified RCTC that the Pedestrian Crossing requirements and design has substantially changed. RCTC has obtained a preliminary design layout plan from SCRAA for the new pedestrian crossing requirements and it is included in Appendix H. 3.7.1 Baggage Cart Routes The requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.7.1 Baggage Cart Routes at this time are not applicable to the PVL Stations. RCTC does not anticipate Amtrak Service on the PVL alignment, but the design engineer should ensure that the station could accommodate these routes without much retrofitting or demolition and reconstruction. RCTC will have a need for station security guard carts to have full access to the station, but not necessarily the platform. SCRRA's design criteria section 7.7.1 discusses at grade crossing configurations which may change with the revised Section 7.7 Pedestrian Crossing, therefore the design engineer should ensure the design complies with the updated requirements. 3.7.2 Overcrossings At the time of writing the design criteria manual, it was not anticipated that Pedestrian Overcrossings would be required at the PVL stations on opening day. There is a potential in the future that Pedestrian Overcrossing or Undercrossing will be required, depending on station usage and expansion. At that time all requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.7.2 Overcrossings shall be applied to RCTC Station design with D7 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 28 • • • 69 " r e . r / R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l a n y f u t u r e S C R R A a m e n d m e n t s o r c h a n g e s t o t h e i r d e s i g n c r i t e r i a m a n u a l a n d t h e f o l l o w i n g a d d i t i o n a l R C T C r e q u i r e m e n t s .

Over the fifteen (15) years of operation, RCTC has seen substantial increase in the landscape and irrigation maintenance costs. RCTC requires that the PVL stations reduce the landscape and irrigation maintenance costs through water conservation, more efficient irrigation system i.e. drip system, drought tolerant landscape usage, and increase in hardscape placement. RCTC's general landscape requirements are as follows: • The stations shall not have extensive landscaping to reduce the operational and long term maintenance costs. • Plant species used shall be uniform across all PVL stations, thereby allowing bulk purchases and reducing future maintenance costs. • Unique plant species shall not be used at the stations. • Hardscape shall be placed to supplement landscaping. • Plants/trees shall include native drought tolerant species. • Plants or trees requiring excessive water or maintenance shall not be used. • No fruit bearing trees will be used. • Sod shall not be placed at the stations. • Loose small rock shall not be used for hardscaping due to potential vandalism with the rocks. • Desertscape should be reviewed as an option for the stations. • Reduce landscaping barriers between the parking lot and the platform, people walk through the landscaping to the platform which results in higher maintenance costs, therefore this should be minimized or eliminated. • Landscaping design should stress water conservation and drought tolerant plant materials. • Irrigation system should be a bubbler or root irrigation system. • The City of Perris has approved the use of Desertscape at their City Hall. The design engineer shall review and determine how it can be implemented at the PVL stations. • Western Municipal Water District has also implemented Desertscape at their facility located near the PVL project. This should be reviewed and determined how or if it could also be used as a basis for the new stations. • Landscaping should be placed so as not to obscure or impeded CCTV monitoring of the stations and parking lots. • During the design of the stations the engineer shall determine if reclaimed water can be used for irrigation. And/or design the stations irrigation systems for future reclaimed water use. • Design Backflow Preventer cages to meet City standards and to prevent the cage and backflow from being stolen. As of the date of the drafting of this Manual, RCTC is reviewing the existing landscape and irrigation used at the 5 RCTC owned stations. This process will result in recommendations for use at all the stations to reduce operations and maintenance costs and promote water 07 0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 32 • • 73 " r R C T C C o m m u t e r R a i l a n d M u l t i m o d a l F a c i l i t y D e s i g n C r i t e r i a M a n u a l c o n s e r v a t i o n .

The placement of Artwork for opening day, shall not be included as part of the design, unless it is funded outside of the PVL project and is identified as a concurrent non -project cost. City's requesting additional artwork on the sites will be required to fund initial costs and maintenance costs. The design engineer should design the stations to accommodate the placement of future Artwork as additional funding becomes available. Areas should be designated in the plan sheets for future Artwork placement. The locations shall be selected for ease of retrofitting and close proximity to existing electrical power. The areas selected should not require demolition of existing station features and should require minimal trenching within paved areas. The design engineer should anticipate the future placement of artwork at the Moreno/March Field Station, Downtown Perris Station, and the South Perris Station. The Moreno Valley/March Field Station should have an area that could accommodate an aircraft display without impacting or occupying any parking spaces. 3.10 COMMUNICATIONS 3.10.1 Communication Building All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.10.1 Communication Building shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements The Communication Building will be required for opening day service to the stations and should be located on the station layout plan to minimize impact to the station parking and located in an area that will allow for future expansion and placement of other similar structures, including bathroom facilities for security personnel, RCTC staff, and Metrolink Engineers use, a station storage room, future electric security vehicle storage and charging, future Security / CCTV monitoring building, or other future facilities as funding allows. 07 0069 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 35 76 oft&d+ RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual RCTC has been informed that SCRRA is planning on altering the size of their Communications Building. The new building includes a separate area for other Agency use, which is separated from the SCRRA equipment. Communications and CCTV equipment can be placed within this separate area. The building will require power and communication connections. The design engineer will coordinate with SCRRA and RCTC about the size and location of the Communications Building. 3.10.2 Security Camera CCTV Provisions All requirements outlined in SCRRA Design Criteria Manual section 7.10.2 CCTV Provisions shall be applied to RCTC Station design with the following additional requirements. On opening day, all of the PVL Stations shall have CCTV cameras installed and operational. In addition, the stations shall be designed, i.e. additional conduits as described in the previous sections, to accommodate the expansion of the CCTV System. General Desiqn Requirements • The design engineer and a Security Expert shall recommend the locations and number of CCTV Cameras to be placed. • The number and locations of the cameras shall be reviewed by RCTC prior to final design. • The proposed equipment should have a long service life and require low to no maintenance. • The equipment should be common and not require any unique parts. • The equipment shall be uniform across the PVL stations. • .The equipment shall easily integrate with the existing monitoring and control equipment at the Riverside Downtown Station. • Any pole mounted cameras shall have a system to lower the camera for maintenance or repairs, RCTC's maintenance contractor should not have to use a boom truck to service the cameras. This will reduce the maintenance cost to RCTC. • The equipment should be easily upgradeable. • The equipment specified should be from a reputable company that will remain in business for the foreseeable future. • The design engineer should design the system to reduce RCTC operations and maintenance costs. • New Technology should be investigated and cost estimates provided to RCTC to determine the best equipment to purchase and install. •, The system should be easily expandable, adding cameras, in the future. • The cameras should be fiber optic connected, not Coaxial Cable. • Any underground conduits for the system should be water tight, rodent proof, and be easily located by radio detection or other non -intrusive methods. • The equipment will need to weather resistant and vandal proof. D7_0964 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 36 • • 77 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual • The cable system shall be Fiber Optic, camera to transmission equipment, and if possible, transmission equipment to receiving station. • The CCTV equipment room or cabinet shall have a warning system similar SENSA Phone to alert RCTC of any fluctuations in air temperature, moisture, noise, or other environmental conditions. Non -Fiber Transmission System The Caltrans 1-215 corridor does not have a fiber optic backbone that the PVL stations could connect too, like is done on the State Route 91 alignment. Therefore, the stations should be designed to have the following: • On site DVR to record video signal. • On site monitor to review the stored footage. • On site DVD Burner to burn the videos to DVD. • Hot swappable hard drives to allow for the information saved on the hard drive to be reviewed off site. • Internet connection for control and monitoring of the cameras from any off site location. • T-1 or faster connection to transmit the control and video signals to the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station. • Modification to and/or placement of additional equipment at the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station Security Monitor room (RDMSSMR) to monitor the CCTV cameras at the PVL Stations. • The design engineer shall develop the plans and specifications for the CCTV system and any future modifications through consultation with RCTC's Station Maintenance Manager and RCTC's CCTV maintenance contractor. • The design engineer shall review the existing equipment and determine if any items need to be upgraded to incorporate the PVL CCTV video transmission. • Some of the equipment at the Downtown Station has been upgraded over the past 15 years but some items may need to be replaced to allow for the proper reception and control of the PVL CCTV cameras. • The RDMSSMR shall have control of the PVL CCTV cameras. Fiber Transmission System Discussions have been held about the potential installation of conduit and fiber optic cable along the whole PVL alignment. If this occurs, as part of the 2011 station opening, then the design engineer should design the CCTV cameras to connect to this conduit and allocate 2 fibers for each station, one for video and one for control. The PVL conduit will either extend back to the Downtown Riverside Station or terminate at the BNSF mainline — PVL junction. If the later is the case, then the fiber should be designed to connect to the Caltrans Fiber Vault at the 1-215 and SR-60 Junction. RCTC will negotiate with Caltrans and obtain shared use rights to connect to the Caltrans Fiber System, which will extend back to the east bound Route 91 and Vine Street On/off ramp. The new fiber will 07 J1064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 37 78 RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual then be routed in an existing RCTC conduit from the freeway to the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station Communication Building. If the Fiber Optic Conduit extends back to the Downtown Riverside Station, then the fibers can be connected directly to the Communication Building at the station. RCTC will require the following items be installed with the Fiber Transmission System: • DVR to record video signal located at the RDMSSMR for the 2011 opening day. This will be relocated to the South Perris Station once the Security Monitoring Station is constructed. • LCD video monitors to view the camera footage at RDMSSMR. • DVD Burner to burn the videos to DVD. • Hot swappable hard drives to allow for the information saved on the hard drive to be reviewed off site. • Internet connection for control and monitoring of the cameras from any off site location. • Modification to and/or placement of additional equipment at the RDMSSMR to monitor the CCTV cameras at the PVL Stations. • The design engineer shall develop the plans and specifications for the CCTV system and any future modifications through consultation with RCTC's Station Maintenance Manager and RCTC's CCTV maintenance contractor. • The design engineer shall review the existing equipment and determine if any items need to be upgraded to incorporate the PVL CCTV video transmission. • Some of the equipment at the Downtown Station has been upgraded over the past 15 years but some items may need to be replaced to allow for the proper reception and control of the PVL CCTV cameras. • The RDMSSMR shall have control of the PVL CCTV cameras until construction of the South Perris Security Monitoring Station. If funding is available, a Security Monitoring Station should be planned at the South Perris Station so that the monitoring of the CCTV systems can be split between the Riverside 91 route and the Perris 1-215 route; this is discussed in more detail in Section 3.10.2.1. 3.10.2.1Security Monitoring Station The design engineer should anticipate the construction, in the future, of a Security Monitoring Station (SMS) at the South Perris Station. The station layout should accommodate the placement of the SMS, which will include a CCTV monitoring Room where all the PVL CCTV cameras will be monitored and controlled from. Once the SMS is constructed all PVL CCTV monitoring will be transferred from the Downtown Riverside Station to the South Perris Station. The SMS shall have an elevated observation area so that the security personnel can visual monitor the South Perris Station and PVL Layover Facility. The SMS will be designed to withstand the 100 year flood. 07_0064 RCTC Facility Design Criteria Manual Page 38 • • • 79 " " " c g o . , a a Y w i r a . : a , .

RCTC Commuter Rail and Multimodal Facility Design Criteria Manual 3.14 OFF SITE IMPROVEMENTS As part of the Station design, RCTC recognizes that off -site street and city improvements will be required. The design engineer should coordinate with the local cities to determine what improvements are required and provide the requests to RCTC for review and determination if they will be incorporated into the station design. In all of RCTC's stations designs and construction projects, RCTC has worked together with the impacted Cities to address their issues and concerns, by performing street improvements, beautification projects, street landscaping, art work installation, utility undergrounding, signalization of adjacent intersections, utility relocations, and other improvements. Due to the funding constraints on the PVL project, the amount of these off -site improvements will be severely limited. RCTC will work with the impacted Cities to address their concerns, but due to these funding constraints some of the requested improvements will not be able to be implemented as part of the opening day stations. Some improvements will have to be delayed until additional funding becomes available or if the requesting city or agency can provide the funding to offset the deficient funds then the improvements maybe implemented. RCTC has reviewed the previous commuter rail station projects constructed by RCTC and the cost for offsite improvements has varied from 7 %(North Main Corona Station) to 40% (Perris Multimodal Transportation Facility) of the total construction costs. Due to the budget constraints on the PVL project a maximum of 10°l0 of the total station construction cost can be allocated for offsite improvements. Due to these constraints the design engineer shall only focus on the typical offsite improvements RCTC has implemented in the past, for example: • Sidewalk and landscaping improvements limited to the side of the city street where the station is located. • Improvements only for the width of the RCTC owned property. • Street improvements only for the % of the street width where the station will be built. • Signalization at entrance/exits to the stations - only if traffic analysis warrants. • Utility Undergrounding only if the utility poles will need to be relocated to accommodate the station. • Storm Drain improvements within the station area. • If the existing downstream storm drain system is undersized, methods should be implemented to contain and control the outflow of storm water from the stations so that they do not over flow the undersized system. • Since restroom facilities will not be constructed as part of the opening day, no sewer improvements will be constructed. • Soundwalls will only be placed if noise studies warrant. Deviations from the list of off -site improvement or an increase in the percentage cap of off - site improvement can only be approved by full Commission Action.

Page 1 of • truef©rm print page i Send as an email Rail Shelters Rall Shelters Robust Stainless Steel Structure Designed specifically for rail platforms and bus waiting applications, the robust Metroplan anti -vandal stainless steel shelters are capable of resisting the most determined of vandals by the introduction of a stainless steel structure and special stainless steel glazing system. Stainless steel shelters have been proven to significantly reduce maintenance costs, particularly on unmanned rail stations and vandal prone bus shelter sites Glazing System The shelter can be supplied with small rubber cushioned toughened glass panels, polycarbonate, GRP or solid embossed stainless panels to suit all requirements. The individual panels are kept to a small size to offer maximum strength and the glazing frames to the edges of the glass panels are sloped to discourage climbing. Easy Clean Surfaces Manufactured from either satin finish or embossed (rigidized) stainless steel to deter marker pen, spray paint graffiti, stickers/fly posting and scratching, the stainless steel surfaces are almost impossible to deface and very easy to clean. Metalwork structure and glass panels can also be supplied with a special graffiti resistant non-stick surface coating making it resistant to weathering, staining and graffiti. Rapid Erection 8 Maintenance Rapid erection and maintenance on site are also key features of the anti vandal shelter range with quick release, tamperproof fixing methods. Long Lasting High Quality Appearance In addition to significant maintenance and operational benefits, the anti -vandal shelters provide long term appearance which helps to promote safe welcoming environments for passengers. hup://www.trueform.co.ukltrueform-products.asp?proauctType1D=59 6/1 I /2008 Trueform.

This is an increase of 10.59% over the 49,072 trips provided at this point last year, attributed to increased gasoline prices and continued promotion. The success of this service is due in large part to the coordinated marketing efforts among the Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority, and San Bernardino Associated Governments. Most responsibilities for marketing of the service have transitioned to Metrolink, including revised seat drops, branding, and consolidation of the various weekend services under a single promotional umbrella.

USE The extent of potential use of a bicycle or pedestrian facility is the most important factor. Emphasis of this factor helps ensure the greatest benefits will be derived from the expenditure of SB 821 funds. Relative usage is to be derived from analysis of trip generators and attractors adjacent to the project. 2. SAFETY Points are awarded on the basis of a project's potential to correct current safety problems. 3. IMPORTANCE AS A TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE Points are awarded on the basis of a project's potential to attract users who would otherwise use an automobile. 4. MISSING LINK, EXTENSION, OR CONNECTIVITY Points are awarded to projects that link, are extensions of, or potentially connect to existing facilities. 5. MATCHING FUNDS This factor is used to help ensure that there is local funding participation in the project - not just an application for "free" money. One point would be awarded for each 5% of total project cost that is financed by the local agency. 6. POPULATION EQUITY The purpose of this factor is to help ensure that one agency does not receive all the funds. The applicant receives the maximum 10 points if the amount of funds requested does not exceed what the applicant would receive if the funds were allocated by population. Year to year totals are recorded so that an applicant could build up a "credit". (Calculated by RCTC) 7. PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY ENHANCEMENT The purpose of this factor is to enhance the physical accessibility of existing pedestrian projects. Applicant agencies may receive up to 10 "bonus" points for their project proposals which improve the physical access to existing facilities.

Any projects not completed using local sources 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. A project sponsor may request an extension of time beyond June 30, if substantial progress has been made on the project which, at minimum, would mean completion of preliminary engineering. 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 awarded funds in this cycle have until June 30, 2009, to complete the projects. Within this funding cycle Lake Elsinore was. allocated $87,775 for construction of sidewalk and ADA ramps for the Lewis Street (Graham to Sumner Avenues), Silver Street (Heald to Sumner Avenues), and Mill Street (Avenue 4 to Avenue 9) "Missing Link" projects. These projects are currently in the design phase with preliminary engineering to be completed by July 3, 2009. Per Lake Elsinore's letter, it intends to combine two years of SB 821 funded bicycle and pedestrian facilities in order to advertise larger projects and therefore, receive more favorable bids along with a reduction in administrative costs. Lake Elsinore also now has the financial resources to cover the local match of fifty percent for the projects. Upon Commission approval of the requested two-year extension to June 30, 2011, Lake Elsinore will proceed with project plans and specifications, advertisement and award a construction contract for the completion of the project.

The projects are: Lewis Street $22,000 Silver Street $8,500 Mill Street $57,275 We hereby request a two-year period extension. These projects are in the design phase. Preliminary engineering will be completed by July 3, 2009. Our City combines two - years of SB-821 funded Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities. This action allows us to reduced administrative costs of the project. A major factor for request of extension is the availability of our local funds used to fund the City's 50 percent share of the project costs, which is $87,775. We do have the financial resources to cover our share now and can proceed to advertising and constructing these sidewalks. We appreciate your consideration for concurrence in this request for extension. If you have any questions or comments on this project, please feel free to contact me at (95 I ) 674-3124, ext 242.

A g e n d a I t e m 8 1 1 6 9 Using the above formula and the Short Range Transit Plans, the FY 2009/10 minimum required ratio for RTA is 16.85% and 18.18% for SunLine. This means that passenger fares for RTA and SunLine should cover at least 16.85% and 18.18%, respectively, of the actual cost to operate services. The balance of the operating cost is covered by state, federal and local funding. The farebox recovery ratios for FY 2009/10 have been reviewed and approved by RTA and SunLine staff. The ratios are then fixed for the fiscal year upon adoption of the required ratio by the Commission and cannot be changed, even though actual revenues and expenses may differ from the Short Range Transit Plan estimates.

The Club Ride program was developed in 1992 to provide incentives to those who continue to rideshare past the first three months. In 1993, San Bernardino County opted to offer similar programs for its residents. Given the proximity of the two counties to one another, there are advantages to pooling the administration of the programs; so as a result,. the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) started contracting with the Commission for the administration of its program. That partnership was expanded in 1995 when the Commission and SANBAG jointly developed an Inland Empire Commuter Services (IECS) program to provide local employer services and continues to this day. Employer partnerships are at the core of the CAP and provide an efficient and effective channel for the Commission's commuter products to be delivered to its constituents. To support these partnerships and efforts by local employers in implementing and maintaining rideshare activities at their work sites, the IECS program element provides turnkey services and tools to Riverside and San Bernardino County employers including: employer rideshare planning, commuter transportation survey services, the production and distribution of individualized Rideguides, ridematching for carpools and vanpools, average vehicle ridership support and technical assistance, commuter incentives, marketing materials, staff support for employer events, continuing education through transportation forums, and newsletters. Last fiscal year, over 500 employers in the Inland Empire partnered with IECS to deliver rideshare programs and services. The Commission's TDM role also extends beyond the boundaries of the Inland Empire. Since 2002, the Commission has led the way in implementing, operating, and maintaining the regional rideshare database to support coordinated and efficient ridematching services throughout the five county region. This entails processing commuter surveys, data retrieval, project reporting, Rideguide generation, network security, system maintenance and operation. The Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), SANBAG, and Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) have contracted with the Commission for the administration of the regional ridematching database for the past seven years. Today, the Commission operates a comprehensive TDM program that consists of three elements: 1) Employer Services; 2) Commuter Products; and 3) Regional Services.

The committee convened on January 28, 2009, and scored the technical proposal submitted by Inland Transportation Services. The panel reviewed and rated the technical proposal based on the established evaluation criteria as defined in the RFP including: resource allocation, qualifications of staff, and work plan. Each evaluator (two from SANBAG and two from the Commission) submitted individual score sheets on the technical proposal and provided written and verbal comments regarding his/her assessment. Below is the overall scoring of the ITS technical proposal: Resource Allocation Qualifications of Staff Work Plan Average Score 82.5 % 87.5 % 80.0 % Overall, ITS scored well on its technical proposal and was deemed responsive and highly competent. Selection Process and Negotiations Although ITS was the only bidder and scored well on the technical evaluation, a pre -award audit was initiated by staff after review of the cost element of the proposal. This was done in order to obtain a third party review of the proposed cost structure and to assure staff that the costs were reasonable given the sole response to the RFP. The audit was performed and subsequently delivered in May, which led to further discussion and negotiation with ITS with respect to the amount of staffing, labor hours, and overall program costs contained in its original proposal. Given the economic climate that the Commission is working under and with consideration of its sister agencies that reimburse the Commission for elements of this program, staff spent a considerable amount of time negotiating with ITS in order to achieve reductions in staff, labor hours, and direct costs without sacrificing performance. Ultimately, 6,431 billable labor hours and $418,499 was reduced over the three-year term while generally maintaining the same level of performance expected in the scope of work and as proposed by ITS. FY 09/10 $ 181,655 2,743 compared to prior year Funding Agenda Item 8J FY10/11 $ 112,906 1,844 compared to original proposal FY11/12 $ 123,938 $ 418,499 Dollars saved over three-year term 1,844 6,431 Hours saved over three-year term compared to original proposal • 174 " " T h e C A P i s p r i m a r i l y f u n d e d b y M e a s u r e A .

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since 1993, SANBAG has contracted with the Commission to develop, implement and manage a Commuter Assistance Program (CAP) for San Bernardino County commuters. The program consists of several projects. • Option Rideshare, developed as a "sister" incentive project to the Commission's Measure A commuter incentive project Advantage Rideshare, focuses on encouraging solo drivers to try alternative commute modes. • Team Ride, modeled after the Commission's Club Ride Program, provides discounts at local merchants and entertainment venues for long-term ridesharers. • Inland Empire Commuter Services (IECS), was jointly established by SANBAG and the Commission in FY 1995/96 when it was determined by the two agencies that the Inland Empire would assume direct responsibility for the provision of local employer rideshare services. IECS provides various Agenda Item 8K 192 services to employers in the bi-county area including the provision of marketing promotions, rideshare survey processing, technical assistance, employer network meetings and electronic newsletters. • In FY 2002/03, the Commission and SANBAG began providing Ridematching and Teleservices directly. • The FY 2009/10 contract contains a new program element, Inland Empire 511, which was approved by the SANBAG Board at its May 2009 meeting and by the Commission in June 2009. Based on SANBAG staff's guidance, the Commission has developed a FY 2009/10 work plan and budget for continuation of SANBAG's CAP comprised of employer services, rideshare incentive and rewards programs, and the development and implementation of 511 services. The proposed agreement between SANBAG and the Commission that defines the terms and conditions regarding project goals, budgets, reporting, invoicing, and payment for services rendered was approved by SANBAG's Board at its June 3, 2009 meeting. This approval includes an allocation of Measure I and CMAQ funds for its CAP. Staff is seeking Commission approval to enter into the agreement for FY 2009/10 in an amount not to exceed $1,900,500. The Commission's role in transportation demand management also extends beyond the boundaries of the Inland Empire. Since 2002, the Commission has led the way in implementing, operating, and maintaining the regional rideshare database (Regional Database) to support a coordinated and efficient ridematching service throughout a five county region. Specifically, this entails processing commuter surveys, data retrieval, project reporting, rideguide generation, network security, system maintenance and operation. Metro, OCTA, SANBAG, and VCTC have contracted with the Commission for the administration of the Regional Database for the past seven years. Metro, OCTA, and VCTC are in the process of amending and seeking approval of their agreements with the Commission to extend the term through FY 2009/10. Funding of the Regional Database is split amongst the five county transportation commissions (CTC) based on population percentage split. Staff is seeking Commission approval to enter into agreements with the CTCs for FY 2009/10 in an amount not to exceed $353,000.

The video was shown at the Plans and Programs Committee meeting. Congressman Ken Calvert (R-44' District) provided an update on federal legislation related to goods movement and a call to action to advance the needs of the Inland Empire. Congressman Calvert stated he is supportive of using innovative means to develop and fund transportation investments including public -private partnerships and congestion pricing. He provided an overview of his bill, the ON TIME Act, which is designed to provide a funding stream for goods movement related projects within trade corridors. The ON TIME Act imposes a fee on all imported and exported cargo, specifies that funds would be delivered to the corridors that generate the fees and could be used only for transportation improvements. Congressman Calvert anticipates that approximately $5 to $6 billion in funds could be generated through his bill, resulting in as much as $600 million for Southern California goods movement infrastructure projects including grade separations. He anticipates opposition from interior states without land or sea ports; however, he believes that linking the ON TIME Act to efforts to relieve congestion and protect the environment through reduced air pollution and reduction in greenhouse gases could be effective strategies at countering opposition. He called upon the audience to: • Make your voice heard. Fight to protect existing sources of transportation funding at the state and federal level. • Be good partners. Business and the public sector need to work together to bring investment to Southern California. Local agencies, including the ports, need to work together to develop a regional strategy to bring money back to our region to address project needs; • Speak with one voice. Once the region has agreed to the strategy, spread the word far and wide, using consistent messages to congressional and state leadership. Southern California will be most effective if we have one set of priorities and a diverse coalition of messengers; and • Be part of a national solution. Southern California must work with other regions to develop and advocate for a national freight policy. Attachment: Advancing Goods Movement Through the Inland Empire Brochure Agenda Item 8L • 209 Riverside Couniy-. ;. 7mnspoffotion Commission Southern California is our nation's largest and most important center for transferring and moving goods (freight and merchandise) from ships to people throughout the United States. The region's extensive goods movement net- work is composed of ports, airports, railyards and distribution centers, all connected by a highly developed system of highways and railways. In 2006, over 40% of the nation's containerized imports moved through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to their final destination, using this network. Federal trade policy calls for a reduction in trade barriers, but there is no parallel federal commitment to provide funding for capacity enhancements or mitigation in heavy trade corridors. This disconnect has created an "unfunded trade mandate;" in which areas like the Inland Empire are faced with the environmental impacts of growing trade, without federal funding support. While this system is an important economic engine for the region and the nation, the health and well being of Inland Empire communities cannot be preserved without solutions to address its environmental impacts. Absent policy changes that lead to attainment of federal air quality standards, growth of the goods movement system cannot be sustained. How can the Inland Empire facilitate growth of the system and reap the economic benefits of goods movement while managing its effects on our qualityoflife? How the System Works The Southern California goods movement network is complex and extensive. Southern California handles over 40% of the nation's containerized imports, which enter the country by ship and are transferred from ships to. trucks, rail cars and planes to reach their: final destinations in Southern California and across the country. Warehouses, distribution centers and intermodal facilities are critical hubs for . sorting, distributing, and consolidating goods. These facilities are highly concentrated in Southern California, comprising 15% of the • s " " " U . S . m a r k e t a n d 6 0 % o f t h e W e s t C o a s t m a r k e t .

A recent study projected that by 2025, heavy-duty truck traffic may reach up to 35%of total traffic volumes along high volume segments. compared to current shares of between 14% and 19%. Interstate 15. As a north -south corridor.1-I5 is key to cross - border goods movement. Segments of 1-15 through the Inland Empire will experience a 64% to 100°% increase in overall truck volumes by 2030. 4 East-West Corridors. Trucks directly or indirectly related to . activity at the Ports have destinations throughout Southern California, but generally tend to flow northeast towards the Inland Empire on 1-10, SR-60, SR-91 and I-210. Today, on segments of I-10 through the Inland Empire between 10%and 34%of the freeways total volume is trucks. By 2030, some segments of I-10 will experience 76% to 80%growth in truck volume. SR-60 will increase by more than 100%, and some segments of SR-91 will increase by more than 100%. ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Ontario International Airport is the center of a rapidly developing freight movement system that includes the airport, two railroads, four major freeways, an expanding distribution center and a network of freight forwarders. RAILROAD CORRIDORS ©oad.aver.age:' j weekday.150 freight trains run througtfthe South` ern California, hauling 52 percent of the Ports! international containerized goods to and from other parts of the country- The Alameda Corridor is a 20-mile freight rail expressway connecting the Ports to railyards near downtown Los Angeles. Annually. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) carry nearly 5 million containers through the region. Of these containers, 64%are international and 36°% are domestic Combined traffic from these lines may increase to 250 by 2025. PORTS The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, also known as the San Pedro Bay Ports, constitute the nations busiest seaport and the fifth largest container port complex in the world. In 2005, the Ports accounted for 21 rarer 40%of all U.S. import container traffic.

While a recent infusion of funding from Proposition 113 has helped advance some grade separation projects, significant funding gaps remain and project costs continue to climb. RIVERSIDE COUNTY GRADE SEPARATION PROJECTS Of the 61 at -grade crossings in Riverside County, 20 are currently of the highest priority including both funded and unfunded projects. 1 is under construction 7 others are fully -funded 12 are unfunded, with a shortfall of $565.7 million SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY GRADE SEPARATION PROJECTS Of the many at -grade crossings in San Bernardino County, 27 are currently of the highest priority including both funded and unfunded projects. 1 is under construction 10 others are fully -funded 17 are unfunded grade separation projects, with a shortfall of $530 million Ten additional crossings require improvement, but may remain at grade. Corridor, Freeway and Interchange Improvements Every day, countless hours and dollars in productivity are lost due to congestion in the Inland Empire. Today, delays to trucks on the freeways result In a 50 to 250 percent increase in the cost of transportation goods. Local economies also suffer as employees face increasing difficulty in getting to work due to chokepoints and delays. This will only increase in the future. To retain the economic health of the Inland Empire and the congested corridor, freeway and interchange projects in this region must be accelerated and completed. • " k e y p r o j e c t s f o r t h e i n l a n d e m p i r e " : .

Many of the revenue options carry political considerations for Congress and the Administration. Chairman Oberstar and T&I Committee staff have hedged on discussing financing. This is where a great deal of Congressional politics will influence the movement of the bill. Raising revenue is under the jurisdiction of the House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY). Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked the Ways and Means Committee to begin holding hearings on financing the new transportation bill, which are estimated to be slated for late June although nothing has been officially scheduled yet. Given that a transportation bill will not move off the House floor without a finance title and the debate on revenue is just now beginning, the prospects of having a bill move to the Senate, let alone to the President's desk by September 30 are slim. It is not known what Senator Barbara Boxer's timeline for the Senate version of authorization will be. The Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee is currently focused on climate change legislation. Chairman Oberstar has made recent statements to the press declaring emphatically that he will not author any extensions of SAFETEA-LU if Congress fails to enact a new authorization bill by the September 30 deadline. Chairman Oberstar has stated that he is willing to allow the program to cease and let funding streams drop off to nearly half of what they currently are if a new bill is not passed in time. It took a dozen extensions over nearly two years before Congress was able to reauthorize TEA-21, which became SAFETEA-LU in 2005. Chairman Oberstar has vowed that he would not allow that to happen under his chairmanship. However, the Highway Trust Fund will still require an interim revenue infusion before the end of the fiscal year, and the pace that Congress is moving (amid the health care, climate change, and Supreme Court debates) is not encouraging. High Priority Project (HPP) Requests: Status Update In April, at the direction of the Ad Hoc Committee and the Commission, staff submitted official funding requests for three high priority corridors to Members of Congress representing Riverside County. The corridors adopted were: Interstates 10 and 215, and Alameda Corridor East (ACE) Grade Separations in Riverside County. ACE was submitted as the number one ranked priority by the Commission. Additionally, the Commission supported local transit operators' requests for funding. Requests were submitted to Representatives Mary Bono Mack, Ken Calvert, and Jerry Lewis. Representative Darrell Issa chose not to participate in the high priority project process, and instead is devoting his efforts to securing a greater rate of return to California through formula programs.

These programs provided Federal construction aid for specific eligible highway categories (e.g., Interstate, primary, and secondary highways). The Federal investment provided by the Federal -Aid Highway Act, and its successors, connected communities across the nation to one another, opened new markets to unleash unparalleled economic growth, and improved mobility and quality of life for the nation. However, in the past 50 years, there have been significant economic and demographic changes that could not have been anticipated when the Interstate System was initially designed. Since 1956: • The U.S. population has almost doubled, increasing from 169 million to 300 million; • GDP has exploded, increasing from $345 billion to $14.3 trillion; • Land use, economic development patterns, and migration patterns have changed significantly, leading to an increased dependence on our surface transportation network, particularly highways; ▪ The most recent National Household Survey found that 87 percent of daily trips involved the use of personal vehicles; and The number of passenger vehicles on the nation's roadways has increased 150 percent from 54 million vehicles to 135 million vehicles. Many segments of the network handle volumes of traffic that greatly exceed their design standards. This increased traffic comes at a time when many highway assets, built in the 1960s and 1970s, are reaching the end of their useful design life, and need to be rebuilt or replaced. Transit assets also suffer from decades of underinvestment, even as public transit ridership rapidly increases across the United States, from the "old rail" cities to new Western towns. Safety: The Human Toll and Economic Cost The societal and economic toll of transportation accidents is staggering. Each year, 42,500 people are killed and 2.5 million people are seriously injured in more than six million motor vehicle crashes. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people of every age from three to 34. Every hour, 150 children (under the age of 19) are treated in emergency rooms for crash -related injuries. Each year, the economic cost of motor vehicle crashes to the U.S. economy is $289 billion. In addition, crashes involving large trucks and buses remain a significant safety concern. In 2007, more than 5,100 people were killed and 101,000 were injured in more than 400,000 motor 1 • 232 " " " v e h i c l e c r a s h e s i n v o l v i n g l a r g e t r u c k s a n d b u s e s .

The United States has only one rail line that can support high-speed rail, Amtrak's Acela service between Washington, DC, and Boston, Massachusetts. However, even this line cannot operate at high speeds over major segments and operates at an average of 73 miles per hour. By contrast, major European and Asian countries rely substantially on high-speed rail and continue to expand their systems. In 2008, Congress authorized the development of 11 high-speed rail corridors linking major metropolitan regions throughout the United States. In 2009, at the request of President Barack Obama, Congress provided $8 billion to begin construction of these high-speed rail systems. The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432, Division B) and this $8 billion investment are the first serious commitments to high-speed rail in the history of the nation. However, despite the historic nature of this investment, it pales in comparison to the investments of our global competitors. Earlier this year, China announced that it will invest $730 billion in its railways (including high-speed rail) in the next four years (through the end of 2012). Spain, which opened its first high-speed rail line in 1992, has a network today of more than 1,200 miles of high-speed rail (traveling at 186 miles per hour). By 2020, Spain will invest almost$140 billion to develop a network of 6,200 miles of high-speed rail lines throughout the country. 1956 Policies and 2009 Needs The transportation programs and policies crafted more than a half -century ago are no longer well -suited to address today's challenges of improving the condition, performance, and safety of our system. With completion of the Interstate Highway System, national transportation policy lost its focus. Today, there are more than 108 individual programs, as well as dozens of set asides and takedowns, that provide Federal surface transportation funding. Overlapping and similar eligibility, transferability of funds, and the lack of transparency, accountability, and oversight make it impossible to determine whether programs are meeting national objectives. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) put it succinctly in a 2008 report: "To some extent, the Federal -aid Highway program functions as a cash transfer, general purpose grant program, not as a tool for pursuing a cohesive national transportation policy."2 In addition, our lack of a National Transportation Strategic Plan impedes our ability to replicate the successes of the Interstate Highway System in other transportation programs today. As we move beyond construction of the Interstate, we must develop a new transportation paradigm that is intermodal in nature. Present and future demands on the nation's intermodal surface transportation network require a bold new vision, greater accountability, and a forward -thinking approach to address these challenges. ' GAO, Restructured .Federal Approach Needed for More Focused, Performance -Bared, and Sustainable Programs (2008). 3 • 234 THE CRISIS IN THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND If we do not act quickly to authorize and reform Federal transportation programs, we will face a major crisis. The existing reauthorization act, which is financed by the Highway Trust Fund, expires on September 30, 2009. In the past 30 years, Congress has never completed action on the reauthorization act by the date on which the programs expired. Instead, Congress has extended the programs for short-term periods while action was completed on the long-term reauthorization act. During consideration of the last reauthorization act, Congress extended the programs 12 times prior to enactment of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (P.L. 109-59). A business -as -usual reauthorization is not acceptable. In the past, during these periods of multiple short-term extensions of the programs, state departments of transportation have slowed investment because of the uncertainty regarding the long-term future of the program, and been unwilling to invest in large, long-term projects until enactment of the reauthorization act. In this time of severe economic recession, the effects of any slowed investment could offset much of the benefits of the increased transportation investment provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L. 111-5). This concern for the economic effects of short-term reauthorization extensions is critically compounded by the current financial crisis in the Trust Fund. Prompt Federal action is necessary to stabilize the Trust Fund and restore the confidence of state departments of transportation and the contactor community or many States will not have enough confidence in future financing of the programs to go forward with significant new construction. According to DOT, the Highway Account of the Trust Fund is running out of cash and may not have enough funding to reimburse States for their Federal highway investments as early as August 2009. The shortfall is projected to be $5 billion to $7 billion by September 2009 and an additional $8 billion to $10 billion in fiscal year 2010. If the Trust Fund runs out of cash, DOT will immediately begin rationing reimbursements to States, creating cash flow problems for States and significant uncertainty for the future of the program. The current user fees supporting the Trust Fund are completely inadequate to maintain our existing infrastructure. If we continue at existing funding levels, our road surfaces will continue to deteriorate, structurally -deficient bridges will go unrepaired, and congestion will worsen. The mainstay of funding is the 18.3-cent-per-gallon gasoline user fee, which has not been increased since 1993, and produces progressively less revenue as the fuel efficiency of automobiles increases. The current user fees generate only enough revenue to finance a $35.1 billion of Federal highway, highway safety, and public transit investments in fiscal year 2010, which would be a 34 percent cut from this year's $53 billion funding level. Without additional revenues, a six -year surface transportation authorization bill could fund only $236 billion in highway, highway safety, and transit investment — $90 billion less than the current investment level over the next six years ($326 billion). These shortfalls could result in a loss of more than three million good, family -wage construction jobs. 4 235 The uncertainty of short-term extensions, Trust Fund cash flow problems, and potential highway, highway safety, and transit funding cuts could each cause significant job losses, and together, may severely deepen the current recession. It is imperative for Congress to act on the Surface Transportation Authorization Act and establish a sound and sustainable revenue stream to finance the future of surface transportation. TRANSFORMATIONAL REFORMS IN THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION AUTHORIZATION ACT The next surface transportation authorization must affirm the nation's commitment to building and operating an intermodal surface transportation network that can meet the demands of the 21 st Century. The Surface Transportation Authorization Act creates a performance -based framework, designed to achieve results with transparency, accountability, and oversight to ensure that goals are met. This Act restructures DOT to implement more effectively the goals and objectives of the Federal surface transportation programs, improve the delivery of critical surface transportation projects, facilitate the utilization of all modal options to address needs, and provide taxpayers with a better, more measurable return on their investment in the nation's infrastructure. A Clear Federal Role and National Objectives Existing Federal surface transportation programs prescribe the type of project eligible for funding, but then afford States great discretion to shift funds between programs. The lack of clear Federal priorities and system -wide objectives has made it difficult to understand or identify the Federal role in surface transportation. Many of these Federal programs are ineffective in addressing current transportation challenges requiring solutions that integrate multiple modes of transportation. Further, the various program goals are often unclear and, in some cases, conflicting. The Surface Transportation Authorization Act will transform the nation's surface transportation policies by clearly defining the role and specific objectives of the Federal Government in providing resources to States to carry out programs. These objectives include: • Create a National Transportation Strategic Plan; ■ Improve the safety of the surface transportation network; ■ Bring existing highway and transit facilities and equipment to a state of good repair; • Facilitate goods movement; • Improve metropolitan mobility and access; • Expand rural access and interconnectivity; • Lessen environmental impacts from the transportation network; • Improve the project delivery process by eliminating duplication in documentation and procedures; • Facilitate private investment in the national transportation system that furthers the public interest; • Ensure that States receive a fair rate of return on their contributions to the Trust Fund; ■ Provide transportation choices; and ■ Improve the sustainability and livability of communities. 5 • • 236 " C o n s o l i d a t e a n d S i m p l i f y P r o g r a m s T o e n s u r e t h a t t h e n a t i o n a l o b j e c t i v e s a n d p r i o r i t i e s a r e b e s t a d d r e s s e d , t h e S u r f a c e T r a n s p o r t a t i o n A u t h o r i z a t i o n A c t c o n s o l i d a t e s o r t e r m i n a t e s m o r e t h a n 7 5 p r o g r a m s .

Under existing law, States may transfer up to 50 percent of their core highway formula program funds to other programs. This power to transfer funds eliminates the link between Federal goals and the actual investment decisions at state and local levels. The Surface Transportation Authorization Act continues to provide States, cities, and public transit agencies with flexibility in how they choose to meet specific national performance objectives, but it institutes transparency, accountability, and oversight for these grant recipients to ensure that they meet these performance objectives. This approach is critical to transforming Federal surface transportation investment from the existing block grant programs to a performance -based framework. Expand Mobility and Access for People and Goods Improving and expanding mobility on the nation's surface transportation system is critical to the nation's economic competitiveness as well as to our fellow citizens' access to work, medical care, education, and recreation. Passenger and freight mobility are important to rural, suburban, and metropolitan communities alike. To accomplish these national objectives, the Surface Transportation Authorization Act establishes the following programs: Metropolitan Mobility and Access — Provides significant, dedicated funding to help the largest metropolitan regions address congestion. The program requires communities to develop metropolitan mobility plans to articulate each region's comprehensive local strategies for addressing surface transportation congestion and its impacts. To support Metropolitan Mobility and Access, the U.S. Department of Transportation, acting in part through a newly -created National Infrastructure Bank, may provide grants, loans, loan guarantees, lines of credit, private -activity bonds, tax -credit bonds, and other financial tools to help metropolitan regions implement their plans and finance a range of strategies, including improved transit operations, congestion pricing, and expanded highway and transit capacity. Projects of National Significance — Enhance U.S. global competitiveness by increasing the focus on goods movement and freight mobility. These high -cost projects, which cannot easily be addressed through formula grants of highway or transit funding, have significant national economic benefits, including improving economic productivity by facilitating international trade and relieving congestion at major trade gateways and corridors. To support Projects of National Significance, DOT, acting in part through the National Infrastructure Bank, will provide grants, loans, loan guarantees, lines of credit, private - activity bonds, tax -credit bonds, and other financial tools to States to finance the construction of these projects of national significance. Freight Improvement — Provides state formula grant funding for freight and goods movement projects and for improving States' ability to conduct freight planning.

It will also restructure key functions and offices within DOT to institute reforms and processes that foster greater collaboration and efficiency. New Transit Development — Significantly restructures transit New Starts and Small Starts to speed project delivery; ensure that all of the benefits of the proposed projects are fully evaluated; and provide a level playing field for local decision -making. Under Secretary of Intermodalism — Establishes an Office of Intermodalism within the Office of the Secretary, charged with developing and implementing a National Transportation Strategic Plan for addressing the long-term needs of the surface transportation network. The Under Secretary also has responsibility for administering the Metropolitan Mobility and Access and Projects of National Significance programs and the National Infrastructure Bank. Office of Expedited Project Delivery — Creates offices within FHWA and FTA to improve the project delivery process by eliminating duplication in documentation and procedures and expedite the development of projects through the environmental review process, design, and construction. FUTURE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENT NEEDS Reforming existing programs is vital to addressing our surface transportation needs, but we must also invest more in our infrastructure. The National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission (Commission), which Congress created to determine the future needs of the surface transportation system, identified a significant surface transportation investment gap. The Commission called for an annual investment level of between $225 billion and $340 billion — by all levels of government and the private sector — over the next 50 years to upgrade all modes of surface transportation (highways, bridges, public transit, freight rail, and intercity passenger rail) to a state of good repair. The current annual capital investment from all sources in all modes of surface transportation is $85 billion. Under existing transportation policy, the Federal highway, highway safety, and transit programs would be funded at a total level of $326 billion over the next six years. This level is not adequate to meet the needs of the system. We believe that a six -year investment of $450 billion is necessary. With the transformational reforms that we are making, the Surface Transportation Authorization Act will help give us the first-class transportation system that the nation will need in the decades to come. This level of investment is necessary to begin reducing roadway fatalities and injuries, improving mobility and access, eliminating freight bottlenecks, mitigating the impacts of our surface transportation system on the environment, and providing greater modal choice for all travelers. 9 • • 240 " A $ 4 5 0 b i l l i o n p r o g r a m w i l l e n a b l e t h e F e d e r a l G o v e r n m e n t , S t a t e s , a n d m a j o r m e t r o p o l i t a n r e g i o n s t o g o b e y o n d p r e s e r v i n g o u r e x i s t i n g a s s e t s a n d r e s t o r i n g t h e m t o a s t a t e o f g o o d r e p a i r t o a d d n e w h i g h w a y a n d t r a n s i t c a p a c i t y .

A g e n d a I t e m 8 N 2 4 2 If there is good news to be found in the Budget Conference Committee's recent actions it is that the committee voted unanimously to reject the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) proposal to suspend Proposition 42 transportation funds. Proposition 42 designates the sales tax collected on top of the motor fuel tax for the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which funds major capitol projects in Riverside County. By law, the Legislature is allowed to borrow. Proposition 42 money but must repay it with interest within three years, and it can only be borrowed twice in any 10-year period. Given California's fiscal emergency, the transportation community has been concerned that the Legislature would feel compelled to raid Proposition 42 this year. However, aggressive advocacy efforts by individual agencies such as the Commission, the Self -Help Counties Coalition, Mobility 21, and Transportation California have educated Legislators on the dangers of dipping into Proposition 42. In the Inland Empire region for Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, suspending Proposition 42 could potentially jeopardize $1.4 billion worth of construction funding in the next two fiscal years, while only providing modest relief to the state's general fund. Further, raiding Proposition 42 would only add to the ongoing deficit due to the repayment (plus interest) provision while increasing the costs of projects due to delays. It appears that local legislators are cognizant of these facts and are not in favor proposing a suspension of Proposition 42. It remains to be seen, however, whether the "Big 5" negotiators will put Proposition 42 on the table before a final deal on the budget is made. State Controller John Chiang has stated that July 28 is the date that the state will run out of cash if the budget is not fixed. New Bill Makes Changes to Design -Build and Public -Private Partnership Program SB 474 (Ducheny) adds new requirements to design -build and public -private partnership (P3) pilot programs enacted in February. The existing statute SB 474 seeks to add to, SBxx 4 (Cogdill), provides limited design -build authority for Caltrans and local agencies as well as a new P3 authority for transportation projects through January 1, 2017. Existing statue requires reports to the Legislature on the progress and performance of the programs. This bill increases the specificity of reporting requirements by mandating that the sponsors of any project using design -build, design -sequencing, or P3 delivery mechanisms to make a finding of the benefits to be derived from that delivery mechanism prior to awarding a contract. The author contends that the bill provides transparency and accountability to these new programs. The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) is concerned that this legislation would become a potential impediment to awarding contracts after the lead agency has completed a rigorous Agenda Item 8N • • 243 " p r o c e s s t o e n t e r t h e p i l o t p r o g r a m i n t h e f i r s t p l a c e .

As with many other transportation policy bills being introduced in Congress at this time, it is expected that H.R. 2164 will not be heard as stand-alone legislation but instead will be considered in the drafting of the large authorization bill expected to move forward this summer. Given the potential benefits of the proposed policy in this bill mentioned above, staff recommends the Commission adopt a SUPPORT position on H.R. 2164. New Authorization Expected to Begin Moving in House This Summer At the time of the writing of this staff report, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-MN) had released a 700+ page draft of the new surface transportation authorization bill. Markup of the bill in the Highways and Transit Subcommittee was held June 24 with no amendments, with markup in the full T & I Committee after the July 4 holiday recess. The Ways & Means Committee has also held a hearing on issues relating to financing the new transportation bill. Staff and lobbyists are continuing to analyze the billfor policy details relevant to the Commission's platform and will keep the Commission updated. Agenda Item dN • 245 AGENDA ITEM 9 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: July 8, 2009 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: Selection of Underwriters and Disclosure Counsel and Overview of Proposed Bond Issuance BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Commission to: 1) Receive an update on the proposed 2009 bond issuance; 2) Approve the selection of Backstrom McCarley Berry & Co., LLC (Backstrom); Barclays Capital; De La Rosa & Co. (De La Rosa); Goldman Sachs; J.P. Morgan; and Merrill Lynch to perform the services of underwriters to the Commission in connection with long-term debt financings; 3) Approve the selection of Barclays Capital to perform the services of senior managing underwriter and Backstrom and De La Rosa as co -managing underwriters to the Commission in connection with the proposed 2009 bonds financing; 4) Approve the selection of Fulbright & Jaworski LLP and Agreement No. 09-19-072-00, to perform the services of disclosure counsel in an amount not to exceed $55,000; and 5) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Prior to the commencement of the 2009 Measure A on July 1, 2009, the Commission has established a financing program in order to advance project development and land and right-of-way acquisition, as follows: • In March 2005, the Commission established a $185 million commercial paper program. Currently the Commission has $110 million in outstanding commercial paper notes. • As a means to achieve a greater level of interest rate stability in connection with a proposed refinancing of outstanding debt in late 2009, the Commission entered into two forward -starting interest rate swaps in Agenda Item 9 246 August 2006 for a total notional amount of $185 million. The swaps are effective on October 1, 2009. In September 2008, one of the swaps was terminated due to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, which was a trigger event under the swap agreements. The Commission entered into a replacement swap with another counterparty. • In June 2008, the Commission issued $126.4 million in sales tax revenue bonds to refinance $110,005,000 in outstanding commercial paper notes, as it was necessary to restore the commercial paper program to its maximum capacity to continue to pay project cost commitments. The bonds are subject to redemption on December 1, 2009, or will be remarketed at a new interest rate. Staff has commenced the planning process for a $185 million bond issuance that is anticipated to occur on or before October 1, 2009, in connection with the commencement of the interest rate swaps. Initial plans are to issue variable rate bonds, which will require liquidity support such as a letter of credit, to refinance the 2008 bonds and approximately $50 million in commercial paper notes; however, the financial team is monitoring the swap termination costs, which have been decreasing in recent weeks. Terminating one or both of the swaps would allow the issuance of fixed rate bonds. Staff will make a presentation at the Commission meeting on preliminary alternatives related to the proposed issuance of the 2009 bonds. In order to issue the bonds, the Commission must assemble a financial team consisting of Commission staff, a financial advisor, bond counsel, underwriters, disclosure counsel, and trustee. Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (Fieldman) serves as the Commission's financial advisor, and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP serves as bond counsel. US Bank has served as trustee for the debt issued under the 1989 Measure A and 2009 Measure A programs. Staff determined that it was appropriate to conduct solicitations for requests for proposals (RFP) from underwriters and disclosure counsel. In September 2004, following an RFP process, the Commission approved the selection of an underwriting team for the Commission's short-term and long-term debt financings in connection with the 2009 Measure A. As a result of the financial market crisis in 2008, there have been many changes within and among the investment banking firms on the team. Additionally, at the time the underwriting team was selected in 2004, the Commission had not yet contemplated toll road projects and the related toll revenue bond financings. Accordingly, staff elected to solicit proposals for underwriting services related to the Commission's financing programs including commercial paper, sales tax revenue bonds, and toll road revenue bonds.

A g e n d a I t e m 9 2 4 8 It is likely that the five firms included in the senior/co-manager group will serve as part of the underwriting team for a future toll revenue bond financing due to the size of the transaction; however, the selection of a senior managing underwriter(s) will be deferred until approximately one year prior to such financing. Agreements with the senior managing underwriter(s) on behalf of the underwriting will be part of the financing documents associated with each financing. On April 29, 2009, staff also released an RFP to perform the services of disclosure counsel for the Commission in connection with debt financings over the next three to five years. Eight proposals were received on May 28, 2009. The technical proposals were reviewed by an evaluation team consisting of Finance Department staff and a representative from Riverside County's Executive Office as well as non -voting representatives from Fieldman. The same criteria used for the underwriting services RFP were used by the disclosure counsel evaluation team; the team recommended to short-list and interview the top four firms listed below: • Fulbright & Jaworski LLP (Fulbright); • Hawkins De!afield & Wood LLP; • Nixon Peabody LLP; and • Nossaman LLP. On June 16, 2008, the evaluation team interviewed the four firms using similar criteria as for the underwriter RFP. Following the interviews, the evaluation team opened and reviewed the cost proposals. As a result of this process, the evaluation team recommends the selection of Fulbright to perform the services of disclosure counsel in connection with the proposed 2009 bond issuance and other long-term debt financings, including toll revenue bonds. Fulbright was particularly astute in its understanding of the Commission's current financial position and already has strong existing relations with firms, which the Commission currently does business with. Staff recommends approval of Agreement No. 09-19-072-00 with Fulbright to perform disclosure counsel services at a fee of $55,000 for the 2009 financing. Underwriting and disclosure counsel fees, which are estimated at an aggregate amount of $300,000, are contingent on the sale of the debt and are included in the costs of issuance for the financings. Staff has included $3.250 million for total costs of issuance in the FY 2009/10 adopted budget. Since the interest swap commences on October 1, 2009, staff and the financing team will need to commence planning for the issuance of the 2009 sales tax revenue bonds immediately. Staff will bring the proposed plan of finance, including liquidity structurels), to the Commission within the next few months for approval.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) created a $1.5 billion surface transportation grant program, Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER), to be allocated on a competitive basis by U.S. DOT. The TIGER process will be highly competitive; no state can receive more than $300 million and projects must be a minimum of $20 million. TIGER allows for up to $200 million of the $1.5 billion to be used to pay the subsidy and administrative costs of the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998 (TIFIA) program, a federal credit assistance program. It is estimated that the $200 million of TIGER TIFIA payments could support approximately $2 billion in TIFIA credit assistance. The final grant guidelines were released by U.S. DOT on June 16, 2009. While the guidelines allow almost any kind of eligible applicants (state and local governments, tribal governments, transit and port authorities, etc.,) and the project eligibility list covers a broad range of project types and modes, it is clear in the guidelines that U.S. DOT officials are looking to award projects that can demonstrate long-term outcomes and relevance at the regional or national level. Because highway and transit programs received specific set -asides in ARRA, it is Agenda Item 10 251 likely that the discretionary TIGER funding will have less of an emphasis on traditional highway and transit needs and will focus on economic stimulus projects including goods movement and freight. U.S. DOT Application Process As highlighted in the attached summary of the TIGER grant program, applications are due no later than September 15, 2009, with grant awards to be made no later than February 17, 2010. Projects that are eligible for TIGER discretionary grants include capital investments in: 1. Highway or bridge projects; 2. Public transportation projects; 3. Passenger and freight rail transportation projects; and 4. Port infrastructure investments, including projects that connect ports to other modes of transportation and improve the efficiency of freight movements. U.S. DOT will give priority to projects that can be completed by February 17, 2012. While there is no matching fund requirement, the guidelines state that "...priority will be given to projects for which federal funding is required to complete an overall financing package that includes non-federal sources of funds". Caltrans' Application Process Staff from Caltrans has held a series of meetings announcing it will sponsor a statewide priority list of projects backed by Governor Schwarzenegger. Under the Caltrans process, applications will be submitted by July 27, 2009, for department evaluation and review. In August, Caltrans will make a draft project recommendation to the Governor's office through the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency (BT&H). Applications recommended for approval by BT&H will be forwarded to U.S. DOT with the Governor's support letter. Southern California's Project List For the past several months, in preparation for the official TIGER grant funding program announcement, Commission staff has been working with agency staffs from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority, Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority, San Bernardino Association of Governments, Ventura County Transportation Commission, and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Working Group) to develop a consensus on a recommended process for accessing the TIGER Agenda Item 10 • • 252 " f u n d i n g .

Staff is recommending that grade separation projects located on the Alameda Corridor East, which was designated as a Project of National and Regional Significance in the federal transportation bill, commonly referred to as SAFETEA-LU, be included in the TIGER application process. In 2008, Priority A and B projects received Proposition 1 B funding under the TCIF application process. As previously stated, the U.S. DOT will give priority to projects that can leverage non-federal funds as well as projects that require additional funding to complete the overall funding package. Total Project Cost: $980.5 million TIGER Funding Request: $20 million TIFIA Credit Assistance for SR-91 Corridor Improvements As highlighted earlier, TIFIA established a federal credit program for eligible transportation projects of national or regional significance under which the U.S. DOT may provide three forms of credit assistance — secured (direct) loans, loan guarantees, and standby lines of credit. The program's fundamental goal is to leverage federal funds by attracting substantial private and other non-federal co -investment in critical improvements to the nation's surface transportation system. The U.S. DOT awards credit assistance to eligible applicants, which include state departments of transportation, transit operators, special authorities, local governments, and private entities. Key TIFIA Program Objectives • Facilitate projects with significant public benefits • Encourage new revenue streams and private participation • Fill capital market gaps for secondary/subordinate capital • Be a flexible, "patient" investor willing to take on investor concerns about investment horizon, liquidity, predictability and risk • Limit Federal exposure by relying on market discipline Major TIFIA Program Requirements • Large surface transportation projects ($50 million generally, $15 million for intelligent transportation systems — ITS) • TIFIA contribution limited to 33 percent • Senior debt must be rated investment grade • Dedicated revenues for repayment Agenda Item 10 • 254 " " A p p l i c a b l e F e d e r a l r e q u i r e m e n t s ( C i v i l R i g h t s , N E P A , U n i f o r m R e l o c a t i o n , T i t l e s 2 3 / 4 9 ) P u b l i c o r p r i v a t e h i g h w a y , t r a n s i t , r a i l , a n d p o r t p r o j e c t s a r e e l i g i b l e t o a p p l y f o r T I F I A a s s i s t a n c e T h e S R - 9 1 c o r r i d o r i m p r o v e m e n t s ( e x t e n s i o n o f t h e 9 1 E x p r e s s L a n e s a n d f r e e w a y w i d e n i n g o f t h e g e n e r a l p u r p o s e l a n e s ) r e q u i r e s s i g n i f i c a n t f u n d i n g t h a t i s a n t i c i p a t e d t o c o m e f r o m t h e s a l e o f t o l l r e v e n u e b o n d s a n d M e a s u r e A f u n d s .

Public Comments: The solicitation announces the availability of funding for TIGER Discretionary Grants, project selection criteria, application requirements and the deadline for submitting applications, which is September 15, 2009. Because this is a new program, however, the solicitation also provides two weeks for comments on the proposed selection criteria and guidance for awarding TIGER Discretionary Grants. The Department will take all comments into considgration and may publish a supplemental notice revising some elements of the solicitation. Any such amendment will be published by June 17, 2009. Eligible Applicants: Funds under this program will be awarded to State and local governments, including U.S. territories, tribal governments, transit agencies, port authorities, other political subdivisions of State or local governments, and multi -State or multi jurisdictional applicants. Eligible Projects: Projects that are eligible for TIGER Discretionary Grants include, but are not limited to, capital investments in: (1) highway or bridge projects; (2) public transportation projects; (3) passenger and freight rail transportation projects; and (4) port infrastructure investments, including projects that connect ports to other modes of transportation and improve the efficiency of freight movement. Selection Criteria: TIGER Discretionary Grants will be awarded based on the following selection criteria, which incorporate the criteria specified in the Recovery Act: (a) Long -Term Outcomes: The Department will give priority to projects that have a significant impact on desirable long-term outcomes for the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. The following types of long-term outcomes will be given priority: (i) State of Good Repair: Improving the condition of existing transportation facilities and systems, with particular emphasis on projects that minimize life -cycle costs. (ii) Economic Competitiveness: Contributing to the economic competitiveness of the United States over the medium- to long-term. (iii) Livability: Improving the quality of living and working environments and the experience for people in communities across the United States. (iv) Sustainabilitv: Improving energy efficiency, reducing dependence on oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and benefitting the environment. (v) Safety: Improving the safety of U.S. transportation facilities and systems. (b) Job Creation & Economic Stimulus: Consistent with the purposes of the Recovery Act, the Department will give priority to projects that are expected to quickly create and preserve jobs and stimulate rapid increases in economic activity, particularly jobs and . activity that benefit economically distressed areas. (c) Innovation: The Department will give priority to projects that use innovative strategies to pursue the long-term outcomes outlined above. (d) Partnership: The Department will give priority to projects that demonstrate strong collaboration among a broad range of participants and/or integration of transportation with other public service efforts. The solicitation provides additional guidance on the selection criteria. The Department will give more weight to the Long -Tenn Outcomes and Jobs Creation & Economic Stimulus criteria than I 256 ATTACHMENT 1 to the Innovation and Partnership criteria. Projects that are unable to demonstrate a likelihood of significant long-term benefits in any of the five long-term outcomes will not proceed in the evaluation process. For the Jobs Creation & Economic Stimulus criterion, a project that is not ready to proceed quickly is less likely to be successful. Program -Specific Criteria: The Department will use certain program -specific criteria to help differentiate between similar projects (for example, New Starts projects, or bridge replacements). To the extent two or more similar projects have similar ratings based on the selection criteria the program -specific criteria will be used to assign priority among these projects. Distribution of Funds: The Recovery Act prohibits the award of more than 20 percent of the funds made available under this program to projects in any one State. The Recovery Act also requires that the Department take measures to ensure an equitable geographic distribution of funds and an appropriate balance in addressing the needs of urban and rural communities. Waiver of Minimum Grant Size Requirement: The Recovery Act specifies that TIGER Discretionary Grants may be no less than $20 million and no greater than $300 million. However, the Department has discretion under the Recovery Act to waive the $20 million minimum grant size requirement for significant projects in smaller cities, regions or States. Applicants for TIGER Discretionary Grants of less than $20 million are encouraged to apply. TIFIA: Up to $200 million of the $1.5 billion available for TIGER Discretionary Grants may be used to pay the subsidy and administrative costs of the TIFIA program if it would further the purposes of the TIGER Discretionary Grants program. Given the average subsidy cost of the existing TIFIA portfolio, $200 million in TIGER TIFIA Payments could support approximately $2 billion in Federal credit assistance. Applicants seeking TIGER TIFIA Payments should apply in accordance with all of the criteria and guidance specified for TIGER Discretionary Grant applicants and will be evaluated concurrently with all other applications. Grant Administration: The Department expects that each TIGER Discretionary Grant will be administered by the modal administration in the Department with the most experience and/or expertise in the relevant project area. Applicable Federal laws, rules and regulations will apply to projects that receive TIGER Discretionary Grants, including all of the reporting and other requirements included in the Recovery Act. 2 257 ATTACHMENT 2 Appendix B RCTC Grade Separation Funding Strategy - Summary ' RCTC Total CPUC Voluntary Total Priority Project Railroad Section Container Avail.

I am a 30-year resident of the Gavilan Hills who will eventually be impacted by Alternative 9, the so-called "locally preferred" alternative of the Mid County Parkway (MCP). I have been involved in Riverside County planning as a community activist and planning commissioner for almost the same length of time. The views expressed are my own and do not reflect the views of anyone on the Riverside County Board of Supervisors nor my colleagues on the Planning Commission. Also included with this submittal for your information are a cover letter and copies of three disks containing my comments regarding the Mid County Parkway Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The disks were submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission on January 7, 2009. The bottom line is that the MCP is a huge project that, in my opinion, has more reasonable, less costly and more environmentally sensitive alternatives that should be considered before the project is "green lighted" or otherwise cast in concrete. I have counted words in the enclosed op-ed and it is within your 600-word maximum. I would appreciate it if you would publish the material in its entirety, prior to the July 8, 2009 hearing, with no editorial manipulation. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, John W. Roth 21450 Juniper Road Perris, California 92570 951-789-0409 EDITORIAL INFLUENCE On July 8, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) will again take up the issue of the Mid County Parkway (MCP). While the Press Enterprise (PE) editorial of June 16, 2009 concludes that splitting the MCP into segments East and West of 1-215 is myopic, it fails to consider whether there may be reasonable alternatives to the MCP as a whole and the western section between 1-215 and 1-15 in particular. This tortuous section, rather than following the existing Cajalco Road right -of --way, is forced to climb westbound over 500 feet from 1-215 to the Gavilan Plateau or eastbound over 1300 feet from 1-15 to the Plateau. I have read and commented on all three volumes of the EIR and Alternative 9, the so-called "locally preferred" alternative is, in my opinion, environmentally insensitive and financially unrealistic under existing federal, state, and local budget constraints. I realize that the economy will eventually recover, but the current economic meltdown must lead to better planning and the reduction of urban sprawl into outlying areas devoid of appropriate infrastructure. The RCTC staff has read the many comments on the EIR and made a recommendation to eliminate the western portion between 1-215 and 1-15. While this may appear myopic to the PE editorial staff, it is a good first step toward determining whether there are alternatives to the MCP as proposed. Simply "green lighting" the entire MCP as proposed in the PE editorial is short sighted and not in the best interests of the driving public. In addition, the PE editorial is misleading when it states: "Packing those cars and trucks onto the county's existing roads and highways is a recipe for aggravating congestion, increasing pollution and squandering residents' time in traffic." No one expects future traffic to be "...packed...onto the County's existing roads. While the PE editorial implies that there will only be a simple four -lane improvement to Cajalco Road, there are several more sophisticated alternatives, including one proposed by the Riverside County Director of Transportation and those in a cover letter supplied with my comments to the EIR. One of the most reasonable and significantly less expensive alternatives would be the construction of Cajalco Road as a four -lane highway with a median that could be expanded to an additional two lanes or used for multi -modal transportation lanes. This alternative could be combined with a similar, parallel route using SR-74 between Hemet and Lake Elsinore via Ethanac Road. The parallel routes would provide not only a second, less expensive east -west route, but could act as a backup in the event of a major accident or hazardous spill on one of the routes. The PE editorial is alsoseet-inflammatory in stating that: "If the parkway empties onto 1-215 instead of 1-15, Perris, Moreno Valley and Riverside will feel the adverse effects." The foregoing statement has the appearance of attempting to move the MCP project forward without regard to the City of Corona which, under the single route proposed by RCTC, would be required to accept the entire flow of MCP vehicles onto 1-15. The bottom line is that the PE editorial exerts an undue influence on RCTC decision makers to "green light" a project that has not as yet been fully vetted despite the significant funds invested in the EIR which, in my opinion, is heavy on weight and shallow on content. The bottom line is that the MCP is an expensive and questionable transportation project that should not be "green lighted" before seriously considering an reasonable alternatives.

Additionally, the City wanted assurance that improvements to the SR-91 /I-15 interchange would be in place prior to any construction of the modified MCP. On June 15, 2009, a meeting was held with the City to discuss the Mid County Parkway project and proposed changes. Representatives from the County were also present to share its planned improvements to Cajalco Road. A letter was sent to the City directly following the meeting to outline Commission staff's commitment to work with the City as the project moves forward (Attachment 1). At the Commission meeting, members also commented on the important role east -west arterials will play in local circulation as a result of a modified Mid County Parkway. Should the Commission approve the recommendation to have the project's western terminus be at 1-215, a new traffic report will be completed to evaluate the traffic impacts to surrounding areas and identify required mitigation. Additionally, the County is proceeding with plans to improve Cajalco Road. The County has already initiated environmental work for the section between 1-215 and Wood Road with construction anticipated to begin in FY 2011/12. Preliminary planning has also begun for the section from Wood Road to Temescal Canyon Road. The County's planned improvements to widen Cajalco Road will provide significant traffic benefit at a much lower cost, estimated at $200 million. Given the current financial situation, focusing the Commission's regional project on the eastern segment and supporting the County's efforts to improve Cajalco Road on the western segment will allow the Commission to make the best use of limited transportation funds while addressing the most immediate traffic and safety needs. At the MCP Ad Hoc Committee held on June 29, 2009, the City stated its support for the modification of the MCP as recommended, with the understanding that once the financial situation improves, reconsideration of east -west arterial improvements should be addressed (Attachment 2). Commissioners also directed staff to work cooperatively with the County and local jurisdictions on planned improvements to regional arterials, such as Ethanac Road, due to their significance in providing east -west circulation. Opportunity for evaluation and funding prioritization can be done through the Commission's Measure A Regional Arterial Program. 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 Agenda Item 11 • 260 meetings/hearings were held: three public information meetings in late October 2008, two public hearings in November 2008 and a 1 ' 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; and • Form letter from over 1100 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. 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 (Attachment 3). 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: Agenda Item 11 261 1) 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. 2) 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. 3) 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 (NOI/NOP) 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. 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 the 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.

It is clear from our discussions that we have mutual concems regarding project approvals, phasing and funding. I am hopeful that these concerns can be addressed through both policy and project decisions. Many of the issues will be evaluated in depth over the next 18 months and we are committed to working with the city to ensure the impacts are adequately identified and addressed through the environmental process. In addition, we propose to provide the following policy recommendations to the Commission for its consideration. 1. RCTC will prioritize up to $7 million in Regional Arterial, TUMF or federal funds to the County of Riverside for the preparation of the environmental document for the Cajalco Road widening. Due to limited funding sources, the project will have to be eligible for federal funding and remain in the TUMF backbone network. 2. RCTC, in conjunction with the county and corridor cities, will prepare a phasing plan for the MCP (east of Interstate 215) and Cajalco Road (between Interstates 15 and 215) that ensures equitable allocation of discretionary Regional Arterial and TUMF funding for each. Improvements will also be staged to enhance traffic capacity for each. The phasing and staging plans will be based on the assumption that the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (CIP) is under construction or completed. The SR-91 CIP increases capacity on SR-91 from the SR-241 to Pierce Street and on I-15 from Hidden Valley Parkway to Cajalco Road. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2012 and the project also includes improvements at the SR-91/I-15 interchange. 264 Mr. Brad Hudson June 15, 2009 Page 2 3. RCTC will consider re -initiation of the CETAP corridor analysis between the I-215 and 1-15, if the Cajalco Road project is not environmentally approved. RCTC will work cooperatively with the county to provide appropriate documentation as necessary. We hope the above establishes our commitment to working with the city to allow for improved traffic conditions in this region. We are confident that our collaboration will ensure that we address congestion in Riverside County as effectively as possible with the limited resources available. We are available to meet again to discuss further. Please call me at 951-787-7141 if you have further questions. Sincerely, Anne Mayer Executive Director cc: RCTC Commissioners 265 ice of the City Council v1s, Anne Mayer Riverside County Transportation Con 4080 Lemon Street, 311 Floor PC Sox 12008 Riverside, CA 92502-2208 Dear Ms, Mayer: l appreciate everyone taking the time to meet with the City regarding our concetus with the re-foensing of the Mid -County Parkway (MCP) study, The City's major concern is that the re -focusing of the MCP study defies riot mean that the MCP between 15 and 215 freeways is not going to be constructed in the future_ The action to re -focus the MCP should be considered part of a long term plan to complete the parkway between SR 29 and the 15 freeways and for the County as a whole to focus short term efforts on improving Cajalco, between the 15 and 215 freeways and the easterly segment of the MCP. In eneral, the City of Riverside will support the proposal outlined in your lett 15 under the following; principles: of JUne 1. The City of Riverside will support RCTC's proposal to prioritize funding for the environmental review to widen Cajalco Road between the 15 and 215 freeways. The widening of Cajalco should ultimately include. a. 6-lanes between 1-15 and Lake Mathews b. 4-lanes south of Lake Mathews (future expansion to 6-lanes) ; and, c. 6-lanes between. El 5obrante and 1-215 The City of Riverside also supports preparation of a phasing plan for the MCP cast of the 215 freeway and for Cajalco Road between. the 15 and 215 freeways as outlined in your .lune 15`b letter. The critically important points are: a. The improvements on the 91 and 15 freeways must be a top priority and must be built at least concurrently with the MCP and Cajalco Road improvements; There must be equity in the funding and capacity in11J71'}b'emenMCP east of the 215 freeway and of Cajaclu Road het\\-cen and 215 Freeways: 3900 Main Street . Riverside California 92522 . (951) 826- 266 o 3. Should. the County be unable to environmentally clear the Cajalco R improvements by 2013, RCTC will re -start the westerly segment of the, M, and, 4. Circulation between the 15, 215 and. 601215 freeways should be a priority RCTC to fund under the Measure Arterial highway Program or through other funding sources once the economy improves. The program should give priority to arterials such as: Van Buren, MLK, Arlington, Overlook Partn ity, Washington, Madison, and similar transportation corridors. If you have any questions, please contact me at 826-5991. 267 Alternatives No Longer Considered • • ATTACHMENT 3 MID COUNTY PARKWAY PROJECT rdc mommi ems 1111111 .1. 268 Mid County Parkway (refocused) ►1 puobq pue ELOZ uo 11soboe /temgo igeoj • SMIa 1eu13 ZLOZ - L LOZ • 1N3WHOVJ_LV sliwaaii . purw sl�ntsadde, 811.101141.10.0110 9N10 ulelgp• sluawwo3 o1`puodsab .
