City Of Calimesa
Project Progress Report
Calimesa City Street Maintenance Program
May 28, 2010
The City of Calimesa has an aggressive and on-going pavement
management and protection program. The City of Calimesa is unique in that the
City is small enough so the Public Works Director can personally inspect the
streets and the related streetscape “furniture” for decay and faults. Due to the
personalized nature of this inspection, it is currently not possible to list exactly
what streets will be scheduled for fog seal, slurry seal, or chip seal in any given
fiscal year. However, it is possible to say that the streets in the best condition in
any given fiscal year will be given the attention needed to keep them as the “best
streets” while the streets that need reconstruction will be reconstructed as the
larger budget allows.
Pavement Reconstruction on Avenue “L” between
Fourth Street and Calimesa Boulevard
May 28, 2010
This project is currently on “hold” until the Riverside County Flood Control
and Water Conservation District completes a major addition to their pipeline
system under Avenue “L”. It is anticipated that the initial pavement reconstruction
will begin late in Fiscal Year 2010/2011. This will not be an ongoing project once
the asphalt overlay is completed. However, based on current civil engineering
pavement management theories, this reconstruction will receive aggressive
pavement maintenance to ensure its longevity.
Calimesa Boulevard Landscape Project Status Report
Calimesa Boulevard from Avenue “L” to Sandalwood
May 28, 2010
This project is currently in the design stage, with an expanded study on
the possibility of piping/covering Calimesa Creek. The study is checking the
feasibility of converting the old Calimesa Creek alignment into an avian preserve
and/or a xeriscape demonstration garden for local native specie exhibits. The
current environmental review is moving smoothly with no anticipated delays. The
local businesses are hopeful this project will go out to bid soon with the actual
908 Park Avenue Calimesa, California 92320 ● (909) 795-9801
construction beginning late in the 2009/2010 Fiscal Year. Completion will occur in
Fiscal Year 2011/2012.
County Line Road/Calimesa Boulevard Intersection
Improvement Project Status Report
May 28, 2010
The County Line Road/Calimesa Boulevard Improvement is very much a
needed project within the City; however, it is also a project that is fraught with
problems. The are ongoing discussions internally among the City Staff about how
to deal with the right-of-way acquisition issues on County Line Road, construction
near a “blue line” stream, and the relocation of an active City well. The California
Department of Fish and Game has been contacted as part of the aforementioned
study on the feasibility of piping/covering Calimesa Creek. This project will not
start before late in Fiscal Year 2011/2012. The street improvement portion of the
project itself is not expected to take longer than six months to complete. The
bridge (culvert) widening on Calimesa Boulevard will be done concurrently with
County Line Road Street improvements but this aspect of the construction may
take longer than six months to complete. The relocation and drilling of the
replacement well will undoubtedly be done independently of the street and bridge
improvement work on an unknown time frame dictated by the local water agency.
(Currently, CALTRANS is reinforcing the Interstate 10 overcrossing at County
Line Road; this work will benefit our road widening project.)
Third Street Pedestrian Enhancement, Segment 1
May 28, 2010
The plans and the specifications for the Third Street Pedestrian
Enhancement Project have been completed and are ready for bid advertisement.
Currently CALTRANS is reviewing the plans, the specifications, and the contract
documents as part of their Request for Authorization for Construction (RFA—
Construction) process. The City of Calimesa anticipates this project will be
completed by November 1, 2010. Most of the right-of-entry permits necessary
for some on the construction have been re-verified as valid (e.g., the same
property owner) with verification of the remaining few outstanding unverified
right-of-entry permits being actively pursued. CALTRANS has approved the
various phases of the environmental documents.
908 Park Avenue Calimesa, California 92320 ● (909) 795-9801
Cherry Valley Boulevard/Desert Lawn Drive
Improvements
May 28, 2010
With the unprecedented collapse of subdivision financing in 2008, the City
of Calimesa is currently studying and discussing how best to widen and improve
the existing streets south of Interstate 10 to facilitate an approved commercial
development that has been delayed due to financial reasons. Even though the
development can be served with the existing streets, the traffic generation
potential of this development will warrant a “fast track” approach to completing
the project when the various studies are completed.

A g e n d a I t e m 8
last year's Commission meeting, Commission staff and the TAC recommended
allowing more time to develop an alternative method to calculate the 2009 MOE
base year, as well as a new method to report street expenditures. It was also
recommended that the 1989 MOE base year levels be used for FY 2009/10
reporting, which the Commission approved.
Over the past year, several meetings have been held with the TAC 'subcommittee
and TAC to develop a way to calculate the 2009 MOE base year and reporting
method.
The following is being recommended for the 2009 MOE base year calculation:
• Local agencies will identify all general fund expenditures for transportation
related construction and maintenance activities that occurred in FY 2009/10.
• Local agencies will summarize the expenditures and identify expenditures to
be considered as deductions, such as administrative/overhead costs and
one-time expenditures.
• Deductions will be reviewed and approved/rejected by the TAC
subcommittee.
• The approved deductions will be subtracted from general fund expenditures
to determine the 2009 MOE base year for each city.
The following is being recommended for 2009 MOE annual certification reporting:
• Local agencies will complete the MOE report template to include
discretionary general fund expenditures for construction and maintenance
activities for the reporting year.
• General ledger documentation/forms must be submitted as an attachment to
the MOE report template.
• MOE reports will be submitted to the Commission's auditor.
• Commission staff will report to the TAC and Commission regarding the
outcome of the auditor's findings regarding agencies meeting the MOE base
year levels.
• Local agencies that do not meet their MOE base year may submit a request
for special consideration, which will be presented to the Commission.
The draft 2009 Measure A Local Streets and Roads MOE Guidelines, in
Attachment 1 have been prepared and will be presented to the TAC at its June 21,
2010 meeting for approval.
Implementation of the 2009 MOE requirement will begin using FY 2009/10 general
ledger information to establish a MOE base year for each city. Since FY 2009/10
general ledger information will not be available until FY 2010/11, the MOE base
year cannot be established and used for meeting the MOE base year requirement

ATTACHMENT 1
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
2009 MEASURE A LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT GUIDELINES
(Draft, June 16, 2010)
General Program Policy
1. Authority and Purpose of Guidelines. Ordinance No. 02-001, adopted by the Riverside
County Transportation Commission in 2002, approved a county -wide transportation
expenditure plan and called for the placement of Measure A on the November ballot to
secure voter approval of a %2 percent sales tax to fund transportation improvements. On
November 5, 2002, Riverside County voters approved Measure A and collection of the
sales tax commenced on July 1, 2009.
Ordinance No. 02-001, in accordance with state law, imposes specific requirements that
local agencies must meet to receive Measure A funds. In particular, the Ordinance
requires that local agencies continue to expend the same amount for construction and
maintenance of local streets and roads as expended in the past. The guidelines set forth
below establish specific maintenance of effort requirements and are intended to satisfy
the Commission's responsibility to ensure that local transportation expenditures are
maintained.
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Certification Requirements
2. Qualifications to Receive Measure A Local Streets and Roads Funds. To qualify for
Measure A Local Streets and Roads (LSR) funding, Ordinance No. 02-001 requires local
agencies to adhere to a number of requirements, which currently include:
a. Implementation of the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF)
developed by the Western Riverside Council of Govemments (WRCOG) or the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) (not applicable to Palo
Verde Valley area local agencies);
b. Participation in the Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) (applies to
Western County local agencies only);
c. Annual submittal of a list of proposed Capital Improvement Projects
(CIP)lactivities for Measure A LSR funds for a five year fiscal period; and
d. Annual certification of discretionary General Fund expenditures for transportation
related construction and maintenance activities meet or exceed the MOE Base
Year amount (Attachment A), and commit to expending Measure A LSR funds to
projects indentified in the agency's five year CIP.
6
Funds withheld from a local agency for failure to meets its MOE Base Year requirement
will be distributed in accordance with Ordinance No. 02-01 within the Measure A area in
which the agency is located (Western County, Coachella Valley, or Palo Verde Valley).
3. Calculation of MOE Base Year. The calculation of the MOE Base Year will be based on
local agency discretionary General Fund expenditures for transportation related
construction and maintenance activities that occurred in Fiscal Year 2009f1-0. Local
agencies will summarize the expenditures and identify expenditures to be considered as
deductions such as administrative/overhead costs that were not project specific and one-
time expenditures. These deductions will be presented to the Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) Subcommittee for review and approval. The approved deduction
items will be subtracted from the total General Fund expenditures to determine the MOE
Base Year for each city. A MOE Report Template (Attachment B) will be provided by
Commission staff to the local agencies along with instructions to complete the report
template.
For local agencies that incorporate after July 1, 2009, the third fiscal year after
incorporation will be used to determine the MOE Base Year and these local agencies will
follow these guidelines for annually reporting construction and maintenance
expenditures, MOE certification, and CIP submittal.
Local agencies' MOE Base Years will be effective for the life of the 2009 Measure A
program.
4. 2009 MOE Annual Certification Reporting. Annually, local agencies will complete the
MOE Report Template to include discretionary General Fund expenditures for
construction and maintenance activities for the reporting year. Local agencies should
identify proposed deductions, if any, for non -project specific administrative/overhead
costs and one-time expenditures for the reporting year on a comparable basis to the MOE
Base Year calculation. Any new deductions will be reviewed by the TAC Subcommittee
and Commission staff to ensure that deductions are appropriately applied.
Additionally, local agencies will be required to submit documentation of expenditures by
submitting General Ledger forms as an attachment to the MOE Report Template. Local
agencies will be contacted if further information or clarification is needed. The MOE
Reports and supporting documentation will be submitted to the Commission's auditors.
The results of the audit process will be presented to the TAC and Commission and will
indicate whether or not the local agencies are meeting the MOE Base Year amounts.
5. Requests for Special Consideration. When a determination has been made that a local
agency has not met its MOE Base Year amount the local agency can file a request for
special consideration with the Commission. The local agency must present evidence to
the Commission demonstrating the need for special consideration. The Commission will

significant change from the Commission's historic approach to generating
commercial revenue from station properties. Any future action to implement
advertising at the stations would also return to the Commission for approval and
consideration.
As a precursor to any such action, staff, in consultation with leap) counsel, is
recommending adoption of Resolution No. 10-011 and corresporTding exhibits.
Specifically, staff proposes a formal policy and guidelines to evaluate commercial
advertising as shown in Exhibit A. Additionally, based on a review of federal
regulations and guidance concerning incidental use of federally funded facilities,
staff proposes a policy governing use of station properties to generate additional
revenue through additional compatible uses as shown in Exhibit B. Incidental use
refers to concession revenue from food sales, news racks, or other minor sources.

7. Informational Advertising
•
Commission has several unique distribution channels at its disposal for disseminating
transit information that incurs no "space" cost (no fee charged for advertising space). These
distribution channels include, but are not limited to: newsletter racks at Commission stations,
bulletin boards and cases at select Commission Rail stations.
In addition, Commission shall have use of an allotment of advertising space -at no charge by
agreement with any vendor that sells all remaining advertising space under revenue generating
agreements.
Acceptable information for these distribution channels is categorized as follows:
a. Regular Transit Information
Regular transit -oriented information is prepared by Commission and operators as well as
upon request from other internal departments. Regular transit information includes, but is
not limited to: service features and changes, fare information and changes, safety and
security messages, maps and explanations of related transportation services.
b. Cross -Promotional Information
On an occasional basis and only when space is available, Commission may use its
distribution channels to participate in cross -promotional opportunities that offer a direct
opportunity to promote the public use of transit. Any materials distributed for this purpose must
prominently include promotion of multimodal services (i.e. Rideshare, Commuterlink).
Commission is prohibited by law from simply donating advertising space to any entity for
purposes that are not directly transit -related. The outside organization involved must either bear
the cost of producing such materials or, if approved by Commission, provide an equivalent or
greater value in cross -promotional benefits (i.e. advertising space, editorial space, etc.). Any
cross -promotional arrangement must be approved by the Executive Director or his/her designee
based upon the criteria in these Guidelines.
c. "Added Value" Materials
On an occasional basis and only when space is available, Commission may use available
distribution channels to provide "added value" materials to its customers. Such materials must
present a specific and time -dated offer uniquely provided for station patrons (generally a money -
saving discount) in which transit can be used to access the redemption point. Any materials
distributed for this purpose must prominently include the Commission logo and other wording
approved by Commission to indicate that the offer is specifically designed for Commission and
transit operator customers. Commission is prohibited by law from simply donating advertising
space to any entity for purposes that are not directly transit -related.
•
22
The outside organization involved must either bear the cost of producing such materials
or, if approved by Commission, provide an equivalent or greater value in cross -promotional
benefits (i.e. advertising space, editorial space, etc.). Any added value programs must be
approved by the Executive Director or his/her designee based upon the criteria in these
Guidelines.
D. COMMISSION RESPONSIBILITIES
Commission may engage contractor(s) services for the development, implementation,
management, and maintenance of advertising, concessions, and/or merchandise programs in
conformance with existing Board policies and in the best interests of the Commission.
Commission prepares all information messages and materials for dissemination at
stations: administers the distribution/display of transit information; tracks/coordinates the
availability and use of Commission's unique information distribution channels.
Executive Director (or designee) shall review and approve/reject all cross promotions and
added value programs using Commission's unique distribution channels based upon the criteria
in these Guidelines; enforces Commission's right to reject and/or order removal of commercial
advertising based upon the criteria in these Guidelines.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
June 28, 2010
TO:
Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM:
Fina Clemente, Transit Manager
THROUGH:
Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT:
Riverside County Transit Services Funding Allocation for Fiscal
Year 2010/11
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Conduct a public hearing at the July Commission meeting on the proposed
Section 5307 Program of Projects (POP);
2) Approve the FY 2010/11 Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Section
5307 and 5311 POP for Riverside County;
3) Approve the FY 2010/11 Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit
Assistance (STA) fund allocations for transit;
4) Direct staff to add projects into the Regional Transportation Improvement
Plan (RTIP);
5) Adopt Resolution No. 10-025, "Resolution of the Riverside County
Transportation Commission to Allocate State Transit Assistance Funds"; and
6) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Each year, through the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) process, transit operating
and capital subsidies consisting of federal, state, and local revenues are allocated
to eight transit operators providing public transportation in Riverside County. At its
June 9, 2010 meeting, the Commission approved the FY 2010/11 - FY2012/13
SRTPs in concept for the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Corona, Riverside, the
Commission's Commuter Rail Program, Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA),
Riverside Transit Agency (RTA); and SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine). The SRTPs
identify each agency's operating and capital needs, funding sources, consolidated
financial plan, and provide the framework required to comply with federal
regulations, the Transportation Development Act (TDA), state law, and
Commission -adopted guidelines and policies. The SRTPs, which are updated
annually, provide a three-year outlook for service improvements, planning activities,
and capital programs. As the transportation planning agency, the Commission is
responsible for allocation of transit funds, performance monitoring, and operator
oversight. 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 bus and
rail services in the county.
In January 2010, the Commission received information on the FY 291O/11 revenue
projections, which indicated a decrease of approximately 11 % in LTF and 4% in
Measure A funding compared to the FY 2009/10 original estimates:- Faced with
significant reductions in both state and local sales tax revenues, Commission staff
directed the transit operators to prepare a prudent spending plan aimed at
decreasing operating budgets by at least 15%. Several measures were considered
by the operators that included trimming of unproductive services, fare increases,
streamlining of administrative expenses, and staff reductions, as well as
reprogramming of carryover funds from previous years. Through various
combinations of the above -referenced cost cutting measures, the reduction target
was achieved and is reflected by a system -wide drop in LTF expenditures of
approximately 15.1 %. The reduction has also benefited from the additional use of
previously unidentified federal Section 5307 funds, as well as carryover funds from
other federal grants including Sections 5316 and 5317 and excess funds from the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus program. Resulting
from these measures, staff has been able to limit the draw against on -hand LTF
reserves to 2%. Careful analysis and consideration was made to evaluate every
feasible option with the least impact on the core services that each operator
provides, and the plans are based on conservative baseline budget estimates that
operators can realistically and reasonably expect to receive from known revenue
sources. Operations are now more closely aligned with available revenues.
SRTP Financial and Ridership Overview
Based on submitted SRTPs for FY 2010/11, it is estimated that $157 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.

Of the $156.9 million operating and capital costs identified in the chart
approximately $52.7 million (33.6%) is derived from:
• Passenger fares;
• Commuter rail member agencies' revenue share;
• Carryover funds (LTF/STA/Proposition 1 B/5307/5316/5317/ARRA); and
• Miscellaneous other revenues (bus shelter advertising, TRIP revenue,
Metrolink transfer fares, interest income, etc.).
The remaining balance of approximately $104 million (66.4%) consists of federal,
state, and local funds (including Proposition 1 B funding) that are allocated through
Commission action.
Transportation Development Act Funding
The TDA provides two funding sources namely: LTF and STA. The 'LTF funds are
derived from 'IA cent of the state retail sales tax collected in each county. The
State Board of Equalization returns the sales tax revenues to the county of
Riverside through the Commission where it is held until the Commission provides
written allocation instructions for disbursement. It is estimated that LTF revenue
for transit services for FY 2010/1 1 will be $49,101,136, an 11 % decrease
compared to the original projected amount for FY 2009/10, and is consistent with
the revenue projection provided at the January 2010 Commission meeting.

The actual Section 5307 apportionments for FY 2010/11 will not be known until
later this calendar year when final appropriations are made by Congress. The POP
was developed at the highest anticipated funding amount to allow the operators to
proceed with their grant applications and to avoid delays associated with program
amendments should the actual apportionments come in lower than estimated. Any
excess funds will be carried over to the subsequent fiscal year and will be made
available to cover future projects.
Section 5309 Discretionary Funds
This is a discretionary pool of federal funds designated for public transit operators
to purchase replacement or expansion buses and improve facilities. RTA and
SunLine have identified projects totaling $2.150 million in Section 5309
discretionary funds for FY 2010/11 programming. RTA's FY 2010/11 earmark
project includes procurement of three 40-foot revenue vehicles for replacement.
SunLine's Section 5309 earmark will fund additional paratransit vehicles to expand
demand response service. The projects must be included in an approved RTIP
before the operators can access these funds.

Section 5311 Formula and Discretionary Funds
The FTA Section 5311 program administered by Caltrans is designed to provide
financial assistance to eligible local public transportation providers in rural areas and
communities with a population of less than 50,000. The majority of funds are passed
through to counties based on a population formula. Any remaining funds are
awarded in a statewide discretionary program by Caltrans for rural capital projects
and intercity bus programs. This year's program was prepared using the
FY 2009/10 funding level for transit operations since the actual apportionments
will not be known until the final appropriations are released. By programming at

Staff recommendation is to approve the TDA and FTA funds as presented. Any
modifications in farebox revenues, federal grants, Measure A funding or carryover
funds may require operators to revise their services to operate within the available
funding.
Fiscal Impact
The funding allocations are based on the revenue estimates developed for the
FY 2010/11 Commission budget. The budget adopted at the June 9 Commission
meeting included $52.573 million in LTF transit operating expenditures,
$4.789 million in LTF transit capital expenditures and $5,839,500 in STA capital
expenditures. These budgeted expenditures, which include use of prior year capital
allocations, are expected to be funded by FY 2010/11 revenues, as well as
available fund balances. Based on these recommended allocations, no budget
adjustments are required.

dollar of TIFIA subsidy from the federal government can leverage ten dollars of
TIFIA loans. TIFIA assistance also sends positive signals to the investment market
for the non-TIFIA portion of a project's financing package; federal backing is looked
upon favorably. Aside from TIGER II, approximately $110 million per year is
available for TIFIA subsidies.
The SR-91 CIP will require approximately $410 million in TIFIA_--assistance to
complete the financing package of this $1.3 billion project. Given that Commission
staff will have to prepare a TIFIA application for SR-91 CIP within the next year to
meet the project's schedule, staff is recommending an expedited process that
would enable the Commission to also compete for the $150 million available for
TIGER II TIFIA. Despite the extremely small size of TIGER II, the Commission's
consultant team and staff are confident that the SR-91 CIP is of a magnitude that
would make it competitive under the criteria designated by USDOT. Primary
criteria are as follows:
• Long-term outcomes;
• Economic competitiveness;
• State of good repair;
• Livability;
• Sustainability;
• Safety; and
• Jobs and economic stimulus.
Secondary criteria are innovation and partnership.
TIGER II TIFIA presents an opportunity
with its cornerstone project from the 1
Delivery plan, but it is also a strategic
process of gaining entry into the regular
for the Commission to compete nationally
0-Year Western Riverside County Highway
opportunity to get a jump on the rigorous
TIFIA program.
Commission staff and consultants will execute a proactive legislative effort to raise
awareness of the SR-91 CIP TIFIA application and seek political support; this will
back-up a technically sound and merit -based application. Commission staff will
also seek support from neighboring transportation agencies that are impacted by
the SR-91 CIP. Unlike many other projects that will be competing from California,
SR-91 CIP will be seeking to leverage local funds measuring into the billions, rather
than seeking pure grant funding.
Additionally, staff seeks Commission direction to lend support to regionally
significant projects nominated by members of the SCCG. While our regional
partners are still vetting potential applications for TIGER II, it is possible that a few
nominated projects will positively benefit Riverside County.

AB 1955 (De La Torre): Incompatible offices - Staff Recommended Position:
OPPOSE
Current state law defines the holding of incompatible public offices and prescribes
that an individual holding an incompatible office shall be removed from the first
public office they hold upon assuming the second office. The intent of the law is
to protect taxpayers and prevent public officials from simultaneously occupying
offices that create an inherent conflict of interest. Offices are deemed
incompatible in three circumstances:
• Either of the offices may audit, overrule, remove members of, dismiss
employees of, or exercise supervisory powers over the other office or body;
• Based on the powers and jurisdiction of the offices, there is a possibility of a
significant clash of duties or loyalties between the offices; or
• Public policy considerations make it improper for one person to hold both
offices.
Existing law makes an exception when the holding of two offices is, "compelled or
expressly authorized by state law." For example, Public Utilities Code Section
130053 expressly states that the Riverside County Transportation Commission
shall consist of five members of the Board of Supervisors and one mayor or council
member from each incorporated city within the county. Thus, a council member
sitting on his/her own city council and the Commission is not deemed to be holding
incompatible offices.
AB 1955 (De La Torre) is a bill sponsored by the Los Angeles County District
Attorney, who is prosecuting one of the first cases under the state's incompatible
office law. The bill would add three additional circumstances that would create
incompatible offices:
• Both public entities in which the offices exist have the power of eminent
domain in an area in which the geographic jurisdictions of each office or
body overlap;
• Either public entity in which an office exists has the power to set a fee or a
rate or to impose a tax or a levy that may directly or indirectly affect the
other office or body; or
• Either public entity in which an office exists has the authority to investigate,
monitor, or sue the other office or body.
The Commission and all of the cities and the county whose membership comprise
the Commission have the power of eminent domain in an overlapping geographic
boundary, The Commission and each of its member jurisdictions also have the
authority to sue each other. Although the protection remains for holding two
offices expressly compelled by law, staff is concerned that the addition of these

H.R. 891 (McGovern) and S. 322 (Schumer): Commuter Benefits Equity Act of
2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) created temporary parity
between the pre-tax benefits employers can provide for parking and for transit
passes. Previously, employers could provide up to $175 per month to each
employee in tax-free parking subsidies, but only $100 per month for -transit passes.
As an incentive to encourage the use of transit, ARRA raised the allowable transit
and parking subsidy to $230 per month through December 31, 2010. The
companion bills H.R. 891 and S. 322 would make permanent this equity between
parking and transit subsidies from employers, and tie the subsidy limit to inflation.
Neither bill has received a hearing; it may be possible that these provisions are
worked into a tax extenders package that Congress may pass soon.
The Commission has supported the previous versions of this legislation that have
been introduced in prior sessions of Congress. The bill has been supported by
many transit operators throughout the country and the Commission's support is
being requested by the Riverside Transit Agency. Commission staff recommends
support for both companion bills.
