Technical Advisory Committee Meeting

5. STIP UPDATE
Shirley Medina, RCTC, stated that about $3 billion of State Transportation Improvement Program
projects are on hold waiting for allocations by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Of
that amount, about $937 million are projects that are delayed from FY 2009/10 due to lack of state
funds. About $1.5 billion are deferred because the state budget has not been adopted. About $650
million of bond projects are waiting for the next bond sale, which will not occur until a state budget is in
place. If a budget is not adopted soon, it could impact projects currently under contract. The state is
estimating that state cash will run out sometime in September. It is possible that the state budget may
not be adopted until after the November elections.
She further stated that the I-215 CMIA bond project will be funded by the Commission (Measure A
funds) so that it can get out to bid very soon. The Commission would then be reimbursed with state
funds once the state budget is approved.
6. TEMECULA CETAP FUNDING REQUESTS
Ms. Medina reported that the city of Temecula submitted a request for $20 million in funding for the
I-15/French Valley Parkway Phase 1 interchange improvements and $5.4 million for the I-15/SR-79
South interchange improvement projects. The Commission's recommendation to the Western Riverside
County Programs and Projects Committee on August 23 will be that TUMF CETAP funds be approved
for those projects.
7. TOLL CREDITS
Andrea Zureick, RCTC, stated that the Federal Transportation Act (ISTEA) included provisions for
agencies that collect toll revenue and reinvest that revenue back into transportation projects to receive a
like amount of credit towards the non-federal match requirement of federal funds. Toll credits are not
new revenue; they are not a fund source and do not supplement the federal funding already on a project.
They act as a waiver of the match requirement for federal funds.
Caltrans has recently received authorization from FHWA for $5.7 billion of toll credits to be used
throughout the state. The credits do not expire and are available until they are all used. The credits are
available immediately.
Ms. Zureick reviewed the main considerations for determining the criterion for using the credits and
gave examples on the use of toll credits.
8. CMAQ MATCH REQUIREMENTS
Ms. Zureick reported that the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 permitted increasing the
federal share of CMAQ funded projects up to 100% of the project cost, which has been extended
through December 31, 2010.
9. 2008 RTP-FTIP UPDATE
Regarding the 2008 FTIP, Grace Alvarez, RCTC, reported that four FTIP amendments have been
processed since the last TAC meeting of June 21. Two of the amendments, Amendment No. 47 and
Amendment No. 48, included project changes associated to the new toll credits and 100% federal
participation for CMAQ. Both amendments were approved subsequent to their July submittal.

Technical Advisory Committee Meeting
August 16, 2010
Page 4
Regarding the bridge programs, Ca(trans is trying to make it easier by funding 100% instead of applying
toll credits.
13. JULY COMMISSION MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
Shirley Medina thanked the TAC for its hard work on the Measure A methodology forthe2009 MOE
base year calculation. The Measure A guidelines were approved by the Commission in July.
The Commission's board also approved putting on the ballot a bond debt limit increase on the
November ballot from $500 million to $975 million.
Regarding the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project, there was a designation of a locally
preferred alternative and authorization for issuance of toll revenue bonds related to design -build.
Legislation for design -build did pass the assembly, with suggested amendments to help relieve
Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG) concerns/opposition to the design -build
legislation. The Commission has been working with other legislators to alleviate PECG's concerns.
14. OTHER BUSINESS
Ms. Medina said that regarding project initiation documents, there are not enough resources to meet the
demand for preparing these documents. Over the past year, Caltrans staff has worked with regional
agencies to develop guidelines on streamlining PID requirements. Caltrans will circulate updated
guidelines for developing PIDs, which may also include furnishing participation from local agencies in
order to meet the demand for PID preparation.
15. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business for consideration by the Technical Advisory Committee, the meeting
adjourned at approximately 11:00 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,

4. Proposition IA, Connectivity
Added an appropriation of $234 million from Proposition 1A bond funds for intercity rail
and connector rail that will provide connectivity to the high-speed rail system.
5. Fuel Tax Swap
Approved, as part of the Proposition 58 Special Session, the "Fuel Swap" proposal,
which results in full funding for the "Proposition 42" allocations to highways and local
streets and roads and additional funding for the SHOPP, as well.
6. General Fund Loan
Approved a loan of $650 million from the new "Fuel Swap" revenue to the General
Fund. This revenue is new revenue in addition to that needed to backfill for Proposition
42. The loan will be repaid within three fiscal years per the requirements of Article XIX
of the State Constitution.
7. General Fund Loan Deferral
Approved a loan repayment deferral of $230 million from various transportation special
funds. The General Fund will repay these amounts in 2011-12 instead of 2010-11, which
is still within the repayment requirements of Article XIX of the State Constitution.
8. P3
Modified the Administration's Capital Outlay Support staffing request to support the
state agreement where the private partner initially funds construction on a highway
project, operates the facility over many years, and the state compensates the private
partner with fixed payments over many years.

$1.5 billion. The Governor had proposed $350 million, but additional projects were
identified as ready for construction.
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
1. Proposition 18
Retained the $4.0 billion in Prop 1B funds appropriated across multiple departments,
Including Prop 16 bond funding of $2.1 billion for bond categories that are budgeted
directly in the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
2. Proposition 1A
Retained the appropriation of $234 million from Proposition 1A bond funds for intercity
rail and connector rail that will provide connectivity to the high-speed rail system.
3. Fuel tax Swap
Retained the provisions of the "Fuel Swap."
4. Loan to General fund
Retained the earlier incorporated loan of $650 million from the new "Fuel Swap"
revenue to the General Fund.
5. Loan Payment Deferral
Retained the earlier approved loan repayment deferral of $230 million from various
transportation special funds.
6. CT Capital Outlay support
Modified the Administration's Capital Outlay Support staffing request such that the
reduction in state positions is 225 instead of 723. These staff resources will prepare
additional highway projects to be ready for construction, which could result in
additional construction projects going forward in this favorable bid environment
7. Availability Payments for P3 Projects
Rejected the $3.5 billion appropriation requested for availability payments, which are a
type of lease agreement where the private partner initially funds construction on a
highway project, operates the facility over many years, and the state compensates the
private partner with fixed payments over many years.
•
8. Ca!trans Operation Savings
Retained the $100 million in operations savings "scored" each of the 2009-10 and 2010-
11 budgets. This savings is generated from reduced purchases, training, travel, and
other operations costs. Directed $50 million of the savings in 2010-11 to additional
pavement maintenance.
HIGH SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY
1. Proposition 1A
Retained earlier subcommittee approved funding of $221 million for the High -Speed Rail
Authority (HSRA) from both Proposition 1A bond funds and American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, with authority to augment that amount by up to $243
million if right -of- way purchases are ready to proceed in the budget year.
2. Technical Budget Requirements
Retained new budget act scheduling of expenditures for the HSRA to increase
transparency and improve oversight.
3. HSRA Reporting
Added new budget bill language and trailer bill language that requires the HSRA to
report to the Legislature with information on fiscal, management, and planning issues.
➢ 2010 Budget Actions, October 7, 2010
SB 870, Budget Act (approved) and SB 854/AB 1614, Budget Trailer Bills (vetoed)
Transportation Trailer Bills (Vetoed)
Transportation
1. HUTA Extension
The Trailer bills would have provided cities and counties a one-year extension to expend
Proposition 1B Local Streets and Roads funds for any year in which Highway Users Tax
Account (HUTA) funds for local transportation projects are borrowed, deferred, or
shifted.
2. ZB appropriation for waterborne transit
The Trailer Bills would have extended the expenditure period for recipients of Prop 1B
bond funds for regional public waterborne transit from three years to four years.
Proposition 1B provides $250 million to regional public waterborne transit agencies.
3. Captured Bond Savings
The Trailer bills would have directed about $112 million in savings from lower bond debt
service costs from transportation -related general obligation bonds in 2010-11 to the
General Fund (GF) through a loan.
4. Fuel Tax Swap MOE
The Trailer bills would have provided additional clarification that local governments are
not subject to the same maintenance -of -effort and other requirements under
Proposition 42 when they are apportioned under fuel excise tax revenues.
High Speed Rail authority
1. HSRA Exempt Employees
The Trailer bills would have authorized the Governor to appoint six management level
exempt positions to the High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) upon the recommendation of
the executive director
2. HSRA Reporting
The Trailer bills would have required the HSRA to report biannually to the Legislature,
beginning March 1, 2011, on the status of development and implementation of intercity
high-speed rail service.
3. HSRA Peer Review
The Trailer bills would have required that the members of the High Speed Rail
Independent Peer Review Group be designated by November 1, 2010, and requires that
group to designate a chairperson.

If some of the planned obligations are delayed, there is a risk of losing any unobligated
balances because of August Redistribution going to other states or even FHWA
rescissions of unobligated balances. There have been a couple of fiscal years that
Riverside County did not obligate 100% of its OA. In these instances, RCTC "loaned"
OA to regions that could obligate above their OA levels. Per Ca!trans' OA Management
policy, OA that is loaned is protected from being lost to the county as long as the state
obligates 100% of the OA. Agencies are encouraged to notify RCTC when projects that
are contained in the delivery plan begin to experience delay. This will allow staff the
time necessary to develop contingency plans that ensure federal funds are not lost to
the region.
Any changes to the schedules shown in the attached plan can be made in the October
Project Milestone Reports that are due to RCTC on October 22n4

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRAFFIC ANALYSIS MODEL
(RivTAM)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The County of Riverside Transportation Department (RCTD), with the cooperation of the
Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), The Coachella Valley Council of
Governments (CVAG), the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), The
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans), completedthe development of the Riverside County Traffic
Analysis Model (RivTAM) in May 2009. RivTAM is a TransCAD model, based on
SCAG's Regional Transportation Model that SCAG used in developing the 2035
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). TransCAD is the name of a commercially -
available software package used for transportation system. modeling. TransCAD has very
good graphic presentation and data retrieval capabilities due to its integration with
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the associated capabilities.
SCAG's Regional Transportation. Model encompasses alarge geographic area that
consists of the Counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino,
and Ventura. Because of the size of the area, the SCAG model lacks the degree of detail,
that is often necessary for transportation planning at the County and local jurisdiction
levels. RivTAM incorporates a,great deal of detail in Riverside County, while
maintaining consistency with the SCAG Regional Model.
Listed below are the benefits the County and other entities will gain using RivTAM:
RivTAM has been validated to a finer level of detail than the SCAG Regional.
Model. The SCAG model has been validated for 2003 as the base year. Model
validation is the process whereby traffic estimates for individual roadways are compared
to actual ground counts on those roadways. For RivTAM, the validation base year was
set at 2007. Traffic counts were made at over 300 locations late in 2007 and early 2008.
These counts, supplemented by counts available from Caltrans and local jurisdictions,
were used in the RivTAM validation process. The SCAG Regional Model validation
within Riverside County addressed five traffic flow corridors and about 50 individual
segments in these corridors. For RivTAM about 46 traffic flow corridors and about 350
individual roadway segments within these corridors were analyzed.
The Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) system in RivTAM is more detailed than the
SCAG Regional Model. Within Riverside County, the SCAG model has 478 Traffic
Analysis Zones (TAZ). These 478 TAZs were subdivided into 1,807 in RivTAM. This
finer level of TAZ disaggregation, coupled with a finer roadway network, yields to better
traffic forecasts on individual roadway segments.
t
RivTAM has a more detailed roadway network than the SCAG Regional Model.
RivTAM added 570 centerline miles of roadways to the network in the SCAG Regional
Model. RivTAM incorporates all facilities in the Riverside County General Plan,
classified as Secondary and above. In addition some Collectors are included, as
necessary, to insure that all TAZs are connected to the network of General Plan
roadways.
RivTAM is fully consistent with the SCAG Regional Model in all technical and
procedural aspects. RivTAM does not alter any of the SCAG Regional Model
assumptions and parameters. Data inputs for areas outside of Riverside County are
identical to the SCAG Regional Model. Within Riverside County more refined data is
incorporated as described above.
RivTAM is the product of a truly cooperative multi -agency effort. Staff of the
participating agencies met at the policy and technical levelson over 30 occasions to
review work products, provide direction to the project consultant, and to discuss a variety
of matters. The agencies also collaborated by providing applicabledata, reports, and
other information.
The RIVTAM MOU was presented to the RCTC TAC in September of2009. The
Committee concurred with the content of the document and the County of Riverside was
to take the lead in getting the MOU executed by all agencies that participated in the
development and acceptance of RIVTAM as the forecasting tool for Countywide
transportation planning purposes.

RCTD will make updates, as appropriate, and inform RCTC, WRCOG, CVAG,
SCAG, and Caftans, and other users of RivTAM when updates are made to the official
version of RIVTAM;
The AGENCIES, or their consultants, will not make any updates that are not
consistent with RIVTAM modeling concepts and assumptions;
Periodic updates of RIVTAM will be considered at such time as SCAG adopts
new Socio-Economic forecasts, and only be made when the updates affect the RIVTAM
consistency with SCAG's Regional Modeling assumptions. RCTC, WRCOG, CVAG,
and RCTD will negotiate .the cost of such major updates and make a recommendation
for funding.
Use of RIVTAM by governmental jurisdictions other than the
AGENCIES and by private entities
RIVTAM was designed to address most city and county level modeling needs in
Riverside County. The model inputs and zone system were designed with sufficient
detail to support most city/county planning applications. The modeling methodology can
support the evaluation of a range of highway, HOV and transit scenarios. The Agencies
encourage the use of RIVTAM by Cities, other governmental jurisdictions, and private
entities for their •own transportation planning purposes. Universal use of RIVTAM by
the Agencies, Cities, other governmental jurisdictions, and private entities„ and their
consultants will ensure that planning decisions in Riverside County are made based on
accurate and consistent travel forecasts;
Cities and other governmental jurisdictions in Riverside County would need

IE511.org and dialing 511 within the Inland Empire puts the travel information you want most
at your fingertips. This partnership of RCTC and San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) delivers real-time traffic for all of Southern California, trip planning for bus and rail, and
rideshare information including ridematching and Park and Ride lot locations.
Since the launch of IE511, the system has helped more than 75,000 website users and more
than 250,000 callers.
Real-time traffic for all of Southern California is the most popular function on both the
website and the telephone. Traffic information is generated from actual freeway speed detectors
and is refreshed every seven minutes. The Real-Time Traffic section of the site also offers links
to Caltrans construction information and CHP incident reporting. In addition, the website
broadcasts notices of major incidents when they are reported by the CHP and also freeway
construction closures. You can even sign up for a Twitter feed to get these notices sent to your
phone by clicking the home page link or looking for IE511 on the Twitter website.
Online Metrolink and bus trip planning is powered by Google transit and also provides
information about how to get to the transit stop and how long your trip will take.
Rideshare information online includes a link to a regional database of over 180,000
people who want to carpool or vanpool. In addition, there are Southern California wide
carpool lane maps and interactive Pa rk and Ride information. Find out how much you
can save using our commute cost calculators.
The service is also set up to work on smart phones and other mobile devices. Yo u
can also rely on the Inland Empire’s 511 telephone service anywhere in Southern
California by calling 1-877-MYIE511 when you are outside the Inland Empire.
Follow IE511.org on Facebook. Just click the link on the homepage at IE511.org.

Inland Empire, dial
511 and you’ll be
connected to our
service. Outside the IE,
dial 1-877-MYIE511 to
reach our service rather
than a neighboring 511
system.
The phone service
operates using Interactive
Vo ice Response, so speak
slowly and try to minimize
background noise.
Tr affic
Say you’re driving and
stuck in traffic — call 511
and say “traffic” or “f reeway
traffic.” The system will ask
you to name your location
and direction of travel and it
will give you information for
your route including travel
times and any incidents or
sig alerts. For incident
information, say “incident.”
Metrolink
Say “Metrolink” and you’ll be
transferred to Metrolink’s
telephone information service.
Once you are transferred, you
will be out of the 511 system
and must redial to get other
511 information.
Buses
Say “Transit” and yo u’ll access a
menu of transit providers. Say
“Riverside” for public bus providers
in Riverside County or wait until yo u
hear the menu for the transit
provider you want.
During business hours, you will be
transferred to a live operator that can
help you by planning your transit trip.
Before or after hours, you will get the
message services of each provider.
Remember, you can always use
IE511.org to plan a bus/rail trip 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
Once you are transferred, you will be
out of the 511 system and must redial to
get other 511 information.
Rideshare
Say “Rideshare” from 7 am to 5 pm
Monday through Friday, and you will be
transferred to a live operator who can help
you start ridesharing. You can get help with
finding a ridematch for a carpool or vanpool
or checking your eligibility for incentives to
try ridesharing. After hours, you can leave a
message for a call back.
Guide to
the 511
Phone
Service
This year, 89 Riverside County companies and organizations representing
more than 65,000 employees will participate in Rideshare Week in the Inland
Empire, October 4-8.
Every year, RCTC encourages commuters to give ridesharing a try by
offering a chance to win prizes to those willing to pledge to rideshare to wor k
at least one day during Rideshare Week. Prizes include $250 Stater Bros or
Vons gift cards, recliner, camcorders, folding bikes and more. You can pledge
online at IE511.org. Need help finding a ridematch? Just call 1-866-
RIDESHARE for assistance.
How many people sign up? Last year over 6,700 Riverside County
commuters participated in Rideshare Week.
Rideshare Week is only one of the great benefits offered by
participating in a rideshare program through RCTC. If you work at a
participating employer, you may be eligible for a gift card incentive to
try ridesharing. If your work doesn’t offer ridesharing as an employee
benefit, you can still rideshare and RCTC will show its appreciation
by enrolling you in Rideshare Plus, a rideshare club that offers an
annual discount coupon booklet and also online member access to
thousands of additional discounts.
Ridesharing is an important part of RCTC’s strategy to reduce
congestion in the region. Last year more than 8,800 people
participated in the RCTC rideshare program.
How much of a difference does it make?
Last year, Western Riverside County and Coachella Valley
ridesharers reduced one-way vehicle trips on regional
roadways by almost 1.5 million, they saved 36.7 million miles
of vehicle travel, and they reduced harmful air emission by
680,000 pounds.
Rideshare We ek Ramps Up
Freeway Service
Patrol to the
Rescue
This year, two brand new transit centers are
giving Riverside County commuters a better
alternative to driving themselves to work.
The Perris Station Transit Center, located on C
Street between 4th Street and San Jacinto Avenue
in Perris, serves Riverside Transit Agency routes
19, 27, 30, 74, 208, and 212. It also hosts a 141-
space Park and Ride lot where carpoolers and
vanpoolers can meet up to share the commute.
The station is distinctively decorated with the
art of Disney animator Wa rd Kimball who
inspired the Disneyland Railroad and who
donated his own rail collection to the
Orange Empire Railroad Museum in Perris.
Phase II of the Perris Station will be the
development of a Metrolink station for
the planned Perris Valley Line,
programmed for completion in 2013.
The new Corona Transit Center is
located at the North Main Corona
Metrolink station. As well as serving
several local RTA bus routes and the
Corona Cruiser, the new facility is
also a stop for RTA’s Commuterlink
bus service to Orange County.
The transit center encourages
commuters to ride the bus to the
station and then take Metrolink,
taking their cars out of their
commutes completely. The
transit center connects to the
Metrolink station with an
elevator and bridge.
Transit centers support
ridesharing, better air
quality, and less congestion
but are also becoming
ever more important
as cities must meet
requirements of new
legislation to reduce
greenhouse gases.

“If this is what my tax dollars are going toward, I would
be willing to pay more taxes to keep or expand this program.”
How many public agencies have programs that regularly
receive comments like this? Fortunately, Riverside County
residents have one of the best-loved government agency
programs anywhere.
Called the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), the RCTC program
helps motorists stranded by the side of the road along some of the
busiest stretches of Inland Empire freeways. FSP operators can
“jump start” your car if the battery is dead, change a flat tire, refill
your radiator, tape hoses, and do other small repairs to get you
going again. If they can’t get you started, they’ll tow your car off the
freeway to a safe place. They will also offer additional assistance by
calling a towing company or the Auto Club for you.
The glowing comments about the free service keep rolling in, “If
this program was not here, I don’t know what I would have done. At
the time, I had no cell phone and it was 100 degrees. This service
saved me and my child and I am extremely thankful and hope this
program continues.” “A t this moment I cannot think of anything that
may improve this service, it was great. I was pleasantly surprised to
receive this type of service and very grateful for them helping me get off
the freeway and into a safer location.”
RC TC administers the FSP in partnership with Caltrans and the
CHP. Currently, this service consists of 22 tow trucks which operate
Monday through Friday during rush hour traffic.
This year, the program broke its own record by providing more
than 48,000 assists along the 81 miles of covered freeway in Riverside
County. Since the beginning of the program almost 434,000 motorists
have been served.

Transportation facilities often define locations. Whether it is Main
Street in a small town, Route 66 through the Western United States, the
freeways of Los Angeles, or New Yo rk’s subways, transportation facilities
often shape one’s surroundings and the perception of various locations.
Major freeway corridors such as the I-15 from Eastvale to Temecula,
I-215 through the center of the county, SR-60 from Mira Loma to the San
Gorgonio Pass, the I-10 in the Coachella Va lley, and SR-91 through Corona
and Riverside help define our communities in Riverside County.
Opening the 91 Gateway
For thousands of motorists, SR-91 serves as the bridge between their homes
and their jobs. It is also the route to Riverside County for shippers, business
owners, and tourists and often generates people’s perceptions of the entire
region. For too many people, however, the 91 freeway can seem to be a barrier
rather than a gateway. The good news is that RCTC is working to improve the
91 freeway through $1.64 billion in projects that are either underway or starting
construction next year.
Currently Under Construction
Caltrans and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) are
widening six miles of the eastbound SR-91 between the 241 Toll Road and SR-71.
This $60 million, bi-county project is being paid for with ARRA funds and could
open to traffic before the end of 2010.
Downtown Riverside Section Begins Construction in 2011
Caltrans and RCTC are working together to widen another six miles of SR-91.
This project will add a carpool lane, improve on and off ramps and widen streets that
cross over the freeway between Adams Street and the 60/91/215 interchange. The
$278 million project will start construction in 2011 and is funded through a
combination of Measure A, federal and state bond funding.
Fast Forward to a New 91 in Corona
Environmental work is currently underway to widen 10 miles of the 91 freeway through
the city of Corona. This mammoth $1.3 billion investment will add a regular lane in each
direction between the Orange County line and I-15. Freeway interchanges will also be
improved throughout the city. Finally, the 91 Express Lanes will be extended from Orange
County to provide a congestion-free alternative to carpoolers and those who pay a toll. The
toll component insures that a significant increase in freeway capacity can be completed sooner
and also provides the infrastructure to increase express bus service along the corridor.
Construction is expected to begin in 2012 and will be financed through toll road revenue bonds
and Measure A revenue.
In the Coachella Valley, three of six new interchanges are under construction on the
I-10 freeway. The three interchanges qualified as shovel-ready under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Of a total $55.4 million in construction costs,
71% or $39.4 million is being funded through ARRA. The balance of the funding comes
from Measure A, federal and state funds, and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees
paid to mitigate traffic caused by development.
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) is the lead agency on
these projects and is partnering with Riverside County, RCTC, and Caltrans as well as
nine of the Coachella Valley cities and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to
deliver the projects.
Traffic on the I-10, which ranges from 79,000 to 96,000 cars per day in the
Coachella Valley, will move more smoothly, eliminating long waits to enter the freeway
and back-ups of drivers exiting the I-10.
This $55.4 million investment in infrastructure means more jobs for the region,
creating more than 700 from these three projects alone.
10/Bob Hope-Ramon Bridge and Interchange

Palm and Monterey will start
construction. A new interchange at
Jefferson will follow in 2012. For

Dear Riverside County Resident:
The great automobile executive Lee Iacocca once said, “We are
continually faced by opportunities brilliantly disguised as insolvable
problems.”
So it is with the state of the economy in Riverside County. During the last
two years, most of us have been facing the most profound economic
downturn that we have ever experienced. Economic indicators regarding
unemployment, housing starts, and retail sales have all been discouraging, as a
result now is the time to demonstrate leadership to inspire a recovery.
One way to do that is in investing in ourselves and the foundation of our economic
success – our transportation system. As this goes to print in October 2010, we are
seeing the fruits of our investment. Freeway construction moves forward on a new
eastbound lane on SR-91 in Corona, three freeway interchanges are under
construction in the Coachella Valley and more are under development, yet another
railroad grade separation is moving forward in the City of Riverside, and additional
freeway interchanges are being expanded and improved in Murrieta, Perris,
Riverside, and Mira Loma. More construction will begin in a few short months on
the 60/215 East Junction Interchange in Moreno Valley, I-215 in Murrieta, and the
SR-91 carpool lanes in Riverside.
Funding for these projects come from a variety of sources including state and
federal sources, but the lion’s share of financing is being made possible by local
sources of dollars – most notably the voter-approved Measure A program. Measure
A not only pays for construction of big projects, but also is returned to local cities
for maintenance needs, funds Metrolink train service and specialized bus and van
service for seniors, persons with disabilities, and persons with special needs.
Why is all of this important? And what does it mean for our economy?
In short it’s all about jobs. Jobs are being created both by the construction work
and by businesses that support the construction industry. Jobs are created when
employers move to our area because of a business-friendly approach and a
commitment to better transportation. And it is jobs that will make a recovery from
this current recession a reality.
Although some of us may find the construction delays annoying, RCTC has no
intention of slowing down. In the next few years, we will fund even more
interchange projects, extend Metrolink commuter rail service to Moreno Valley and
Perris, and make a $1.3 billion investment to widen and improve the 91 freeway in
Corona. The goal is to provide opportunities for employment, fuel our local
economy, get people out of congestion, and demonstrate to our region and the
entire nation that Riverside County is open for business and is a promising
destination for employers, tourists, and families.
As we issue our Annual Report for 2010, we take a look back at our current
accomplishments, but remain pointed toward our future. We welcome your
interest and support and invite you to obtain additional information at
www.rctc.org.
Sincerely,
Anne Mayer
Executive Director
A key component of the Measure A program is the
principle that each region should benefit from
revenues raised in that region.

Over the next five years, RCTC is investing $2.5 billion in
Riverside County’s future, creating about 30,700 jobs. *
Western Riverside County Interchanges $145.6 million
1,800 jobs
Coachella Valley Interchanges on the I-10 $55.4 million
700 jobs
SR-91 Projects $1.64 billion
20,100 jobs
Scott Road to 15/215 $68.5 million
800 jobs
Grade Separations $600 million
7,300 jobs
*Jobs estimates are specific to
the California labor market
and are based on data from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
and based on the I-O tables
developed by the U.S. Bureau
of Economic Analysis.
Five new interchanges in Western Riverside County are under construction,
relieving congestion for more than 600,000 vehicles every day in Western Riverside
County. But upgrading these interchanges has benefits in addition to better mobility.
RCTC’s investments with its partners Caltrans, Riverside County, and the cities of
Murrieta, Perris, and Riverside total approximately $145.6 million, $30.5 million of
which was awarded to shovel-ready projects from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA). ARRA funds make it possible to free up money from other
sources, putting more projects under construction immediately. In addition, building
now means constructing the projects at a time when construction bids are lower as a
result of the recession and local money can be leveraged to create almost 1,800 needed
jobs. The rest of the funding came from a combination of Measure A, Riverside
County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation, state and federal funds, and
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees paid to mitigate traffic caused by
development.

Building Infrastructure and the Economy
Two projects now underway on the I-215 will ease congestion for the 81,000 to 93,000 commuters that travel the I-215
everyday between the 15/215 junction and Scott Road.
The $60 million investment will add one lane in each direction from Murrieta Hot Springs Road in the south to
Scott Road in the north. Engineering is complete and the project is scheduled to break ground in early 2011. Widening
will take place primarily in the freeway median, reducing impacts to drivers during construction.
A southbound lane will be added between Murrieta Hot Springs Road at the 15/215 interchange. This $8.5
million project will be funded with a combination of Measure A and state funds.
Further north, the new 74/215 interchange is underway (see page 1). This $35 million project is widening
the overcrossing to two lanes plus adding two left turn lanes in each direction. In addition, both on ramps
and off ramps will be realigned and reconstructed with ramp meters added. Construction will be completed
in Fall 2012.
More improvements are in the planning stage. Studies to widen the 12.5-mile stretch of I-215 from
Scott Road to Nuevo Road by adding one lane in each direction are underway and environmental
documents should be available to the public for review by the end of 2010. In addition, the proposed
Perris Valley Line project will extend Metrolink service 24 miles further into Riverside County,
directly serving the communities of Riverside, Moreno Valley and Perris.
Good News for I-215 Commuters
RCTC has secured $162.5 million in state Proposition 1B money toward $600
million in grade separation projects to protect the quality of life in many Riverside
County communities from the effects of freight traffic through Southern California.
The ports of Southern California continue to be the nation’s largest and most
important center for the movement of goods into the United States. In 2008,
freight flowing through the ports totaled over $287 billion and generated more
than $30 billion in tax revenues. More than one million California jobs
depend on the movement of this freight.
Nevertheless, the monetary costs and effects on quality of life of freight
movement on Riverside County communities are substantial. In 2008,
RCTC updated its funding strategy to construct grade separations that
would alleviate congestion and mitigate the effects on air quality as a
result of freight traffic.
The latest success in that effort is the Proposition 1B
contribution toward funding of 12 grade separations and a new
215/Van Buren Boulevard interchange that will be built over
the next four years.
Columbia Avenue, located in Riverside, was the first
Proposition 1B project to be completed. Magnolia
Avenue, also in Riverside, is underway. These projects
join grade separations funded by other sources at
Jurupa Avenue in Riverside and Avenue 48 and
Av enue 50 in the Coachella Valley on the completed
project list.
Projects slated to begin in 2011 include Auto
Center Drive in Corona, Iowa Avenue in
Riverside, and the new interchange at I-215
and Van Buren Boulevard.

IE511.org and dialing 511 within the Inland Empire puts the travel information you want most at
your fingertips. This partnership of RCTC and San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG)
delivers real-time traffic for all of Southern California, trip planning for bus and rail, and rideshare
information including ridematching and Park and Ride lot locations.
Since the launch of IE511, the system has helped more than 75,000 website users and more than
250,000 callers.
Real-time traffic for all of Southern California is the most popular function on both the website
and the telephone. Traffic information is generated from actual freeway speed detectors and is
refreshed every seven minutes. The Real-Time Traffic section of the site also offers links to
Caltrans construction information and CHP incident reporting. In addition, the website
broadcasts notices of major incidents when they are reported by the CHP and also freeway
construction closures. You can even sign up for a Twitter feed to get these notices sent to your
phone by clicking the home page link or looking for IE511 on the Twitter website.
Online Metrolink and bus trip planning is powered by Google transit and also provides
information about how to get to the transit stop and how long your trip will take.
Rideshare information online includes a link to a regional database of over 180,000
people who want to carpool or vanpool. In addition, there are Southern California wide
carpool lane maps and interactive Park and Ride information. Find out how much you can
save using our commute cost calculators.
The service is also set up to work on smart phones and other mobile devices. You can
also rely on the Inland Empire’s 511 telephone service anywhere in Southern California
by calling 1-877-MYIE511 when you are outside the Inland Empire.
Follow IE511.org on Fa cebook. Just click the link on the homepage at IE511.org.

This year, 89 Riverside County companies and organizations representing more
than 65,000 employees will participate in Rideshare Week in the Inland Empire,
October 4-8.
Every year, RCTC encourages commuters to give ridesharing a try by offering
a chance to win prizes to those willing to pledge to rideshare to work at least one
day during Rideshare Week. Prizes include $250 Stater Bros or Vons gift cards,
recliner, camcorders, folding bikes and more. You can pledge online at
IE511.org. Need help finding a ridematch? Just call 1-866-RIDESHARE for
assistance.
How many people sign up? Last year over 6,700 Riverside County
commuters participated in Rideshare Week.
Rideshare Week is only one of the great benefits offered by
participating in a rideshare program through RCTC. If you work at a
participating employer, you may be eligible for a gift card incentive to try
ridesharing. If your work doesn’t offer ridesharing as an employee
benefit, you can still rideshare and RCTC will show its appreciation by
enrolling you in Rideshare Plus, a rideshare club that offers an annual
discount coupon booklet and also online member access to thousands
of additional discounts.
Ridesharing is an important part of RCTC’s strategy to reduce
congestion in the region. Last year more than 8,800 people
participated in the RCTC rideshare program.
How much of a difference does it make?
Last year, Western Riverside County and Coachella Valley
ridesharers reduced one-way vehicle trips on regional roadways
by almost 1.5 million, they saved 36.7 million miles of vehicle
travel, and they reduced harmful air emission by 680,000
pounds.
Rideshare We ek Ramps Up
Freeway Service
Patrol to the
Rescue
This year, two brand new transit centers are
giving Riverside County commuters a better
alternative to driving themselves to work.
The Perris Station Transit Center, located on C
Street between 4th Street and San Jacinto Av enue
in Perris, serves Riverside Transit Agency routes
19, 27, 30, 74, 208, and 212. It also hosts a 141-
space Pa rk and Ride lot where carpoolers and
vanpoolers can meet up to share the commute.
The station is distinctively decorated with the
art of Disney animator Wa rd Kimball who
inspired the Disneyland Railroad and who
donated his own rail collection to the Orange
Empire Railroad Museum in Perris.
Phase II of the Perris Station will be the
development of a Metrolink station for the
planned Perris Valley Line, programmed
for completion in 2013.
The new Corona Transit Center is
located at the North Main Corona
Metrolink station. As well as serving
several local RTA bus routes and the
Corona Cruiser, the new facility is also
a stop for RTA’s Commuterlink bus
service to Orange County.
The transit center encourages
commuters to ride the bus to the
station and then take Metrolink,
taking their cars out of their
commutes completely. The
transit center connects to the
Metrolink station with an
elevator and bridge.
Transit centers support
ridesharing, better air quality,
and less congestion but are
also becoming ever more
important as cities must
meet requirements of new
legislation to reduce
greenhouse gases.

“If this is what my tax dollars are going toward, I would
be willing to pay more taxes to keep or expand this program.”
How many public agencies have programs that regularly
receive comments like this? Fortunately, Riverside County
residents have one of the best-loved government agency
programs anywhere.
Called the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), the RC TC program
helps motorists stranded by the side of the road along some of the
busiest stretches of Inland Empire freeways. FSP operators can
“jump start” your car if the battery is dead, change a flat tire, refill
your radiator, tape hoses, and do other small repairs to get you
going again. If they can’t get you started, they’ll tow your car off the
freeway to a safe place. They will also offer additional assistance by
calling a towing company or the Auto Club for you.
The glowing comments about the service keep rolling in, “If this
program was not here, I don’t know what I would have done. At the
time, I had no cell phone and it was 100 degrees. This service saved
me and my child and I am extremely thankful and hope this program
continues.” “A t this moment I cannot think of anything that may
improve this service, it was great. I was pleasantly surprised to receive
this type of service and very grateful for them helping me get off the
freeway and into a safer location.”
RC TC administers the FSP in partnership with Caltrans and the
CHP. Currently, this service consists of 22 tow trucks which operate
Monday through Friday during rush hour traffic.
This year, the program broke its own record by providing more than
48,000 assists along the 81 miles of covered freeway in Riverside
County. Since the beginning of the program almost 434,000 motorists
have been served.

Five new interchanges in Western Riverside County are under construction, relieving congestion
for more than 600,000 vehicles every day in Western Riverside County. But upgrading these
interchanges has benefits in addition to better mobility.
RCTC’s investments with its partners Caltrans, Riverside County, and the cities of Murrieta,
Perris, and Riverside total approximately $145.6 million, $30.5 million of which was awarded to
shovel-ready projects from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). ARRA funds
make it possible to free up money from other sources, putting more projects under construction
immediately. In addition, building now means constructing the projects at a time when construction
bids are lower as a result of the recession and local money can be leveraged to create almost 1,800
needed jobs. The rest of the funding came from a combination of Measure A, Riverside County’s half-
cent sales tax for transportation, state and federal funds, and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees
paid to mitigate traffic caused by development.

I-215/Clinton Keith74/21591/Van Buren91/Van Buren60/215 (East Junction)60/Valley WayI-215/Clinton KeithSR-91/County Line Creek BridgeSR-91 WideningTransportation facilities often define locations. Whether it is Main
Street in a small town, Route 66 through the Western Un ited States, the
freeways of Los Angeles, or New Yo rk’s subways, transportation facilities
often shape one’s surroundings and the perception of various locations.
Major freeway corridors such as the I-15 from Eastvale to Temecula,
I-215 through the center of the county, SR-60 from Mira Loma to the San
Gorgonio Pass, the I-10 in the Coachella Valley, and SR-91 through Corona
and Riverside help define our communities in Riverside County.
Opening the 91 Gateway
For thousands of motorists, SR-91 serves as the bridge between their homes
and their jobs. It is also the route to Riverside County for shippers, business
owners, and tourists and often generates people’s perceptions of the entire
region. For too many people, however, the 91 freeway can seem to be a barrier
rather than a gateway. The good news is that RCTC is working to improve the
91 freeway through $1.64 billion in projects that are either underway or starting
construction next year.
Currently Under Construction
Caltrans and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) are
widening six miles of the eastbound SR-91 between the 241 Toll Road and SR-71.
This $60 million, bi-county project is being paid for with ARRA funds and could
open to traffic before the end of 2010.
Downtown Riverside Section Begins Construction in 2011
Caltrans and RCTC are working together to widen another six miles of SR-91.
This project will add a carpool lane, improve on and off ramps and widen streets that
cross over the freeway between Adams Street and the 60/91/215 interchange. The
$278 million project will start construction in 2011 and is funded through a
combination of Measure A, federal and state bond funding.
Fast Forward to a New 91 in Corona
Environmental work is currently underway to widen 10 miles of the 91 freeway through
the city of Corona. This mammoth $1.3 billion investment will add a regular lane in each
direction between the Orange County line and I-15. Freeway interchanges will also be
improved throughout the city. Finally, the 91 Express Lanes will be extended from Orange
County to provide a congestion-free alternative to carpoolers and those who pay a toll. The
toll component insures that a significant increase in freeway capacity can be completed sooner
and also provides the infrastructure to increase express bus service along the corridor.
Construction is expected to begin in 2012 and will be financed through toll road revenue bonds
and Measure A revenue.
Dear Riverside County Resident:
The great automobile executive Lee Iacocca once said, “We are continually
faced by opportunities brilliantly disguised as insolvable problems.”
So it is with the state of the economy in Riverside County. During the last two
years, most of us have been facing the most profound economic downturn that
we have ever experienced. Economic indicators regarding unemployment,
housing starts, and retail sales have all been discouraging, as a result now is the
time to demonstrate leadership to inspire a recovery.
One way to do that is in investing in ourselves and the foundation of our economic
success – our transportation system. As this goes to print in October 2010, we are
seeing the fruits of our investment. Freeway construction moves forward on a new
eastbound lane on SR-91 in Corona, three freeway interchanges are under
construction in the Coachella Valley and more are under development, yet another
railroad grade separation is moving forward in the City of Riverside, and additional
freeway interchanges are being expanded and improved in Murrieta, Perris, Riverside,
and Mira Loma. More construction will begin in a few short months on the 60/215
East Junction Interchange in Moreno Valley, I-215 in Murrieta, and the
SR-91 carpool lanes in Riverside.
Funding for these projects come from a variety of sources including state and federal
sources, but the lion’s share of financing is being made possible by local sources of
dollars – most notably the voter-approved Measure A program. Measure A not only
pays for construction of big projects, but also is returned to local cities for
maintenance needs, funds Metrolink train service and specialized bus and van service
for seniors, persons with disabilities, and persons with special needs.
Why is all of this important? And what does it mean for our economy?
In short it’s all about jobs. Jobs are being created both by the construction work and
by businesses that support the construction industry. Jobs are created when employers
move to our area because of a business-friendly approach and a commitment to better
transportation. And it is jobs that will make a recovery from this current recession a
reality.
Although some of us may find the construction delays annoying, RC TC has no
intention of slowing down. In the next few years, we will fund even more interchange
projects, extend Metrolink commuter rail service to Moreno Valley and Perris, and
make a $1.3 billion investment to widen and improve the 91 freeway in Corona. The
goal is to provide opportunities for employment, fuel our local economy, get people
out of congestion, and demonstrate to our region and the entire nation that Riverside
County is open for business and is a promising destination for employers, tourists, and
families.
As we issue our Annual Report for 2010, we take a look back at our current
accomplishments, but remain pointed toward our future. We welcome your interest
and support and invite you to obtain additional information at www.rctc.org.
Sincerely,
Anne Mayer
Executive Director
A key component of the Measure A program is the principle that
each region should benefit from revenues raised in that region.

Over the next five years, RCTC is investing $2.5 billion in
Riverside County’s future, creating about 30,700 jobs. *
Western Riverside County Interchanges $145.6 million
1,800 jobs
Coachella Valley Interchanges on the I-10 $55.4 million
700 jobs
SR-91 Projects $1.64 billion
20,100 jobs
Scott Road to 15/215 $68.5 million
800 jobs
Grade Separations $600 million
7,300 jobs
*Jobs estimates are specific to the
California labor market and are
based on data from the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics and
based on the I-O tables developed
by the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis.
In the Coachella Valley, three of six new interchanges are under construction on
the I-10 freeway. The three interchanges qualified as shovel-ready under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Of a total $55.4 million in construction
costs, 71% or $39.4 million is being funded through ARRA. The balance of the
funding comes from Measure A, federal and state funds, and Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fees paid to mitigate traffic caused by development.
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) is the lead agency on
these projects and is partnering with Riverside County, RCTC, and Caltrans as well
as nine of the Coachella Valley cities and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla
Indians to deliver the projects.
Traffic on the I-10, which ranges from 79,000 to 96,000 cars per day in the
Coachella Valley, will move more smoothly, eliminating long waits to enter the
freeway and back-ups of drivers exiting the I-10.
This $55.4 million investment in infrastructure means more jobs for the region,
creating more than 700 from these three projects alone.
10/Bob Hope-Ramon Bridge and Interchange
Improvements:New bridges of four lanes each direction over I-10 and three lanes
each direction over Union Pacific railroad tracks, new interchange with multi-lane
on ramps and off ramps both east and westbound on the I-10 at Bob Hope. Realign
Rio Del Sol, widen portions of Varner Road.
Cost:$25.5 million, $23.5 in ARRA funds.
Projected Completion:Late 2011.
10/Palm Drive-Gene Autry Trail Bridge and Interchange
Improvements:New bridge of three lanes in each direction plus bike lanes,
new and realigned on ramps and off ramps both eastbound and westbound,
combined with widening of Gene Autry bridge over Union Pacific railroad
tracks. Realign Micro Place and Salvia Road.
Cost:$15.25 million, including ARRA funds of $10.4 million for
construction and $1.85 million for landscaping.
Projected Completion:Mid 2012.
10/Indian Canyon Drive Bridge and Interchange
Improvements:New bridge with three lanes each side plus bike
lanes, new and realigned on ramps and off ramps both
eastbound and westbound, widen portions of Garnet Avenue
and 20th Avenue.
Cost:$16.5 million, $5.5 million in ARRA funds.
Projected Completion:Mid 2012.
In 2011, I-10 interchanges at Date Palm and
Monterey will start construction. A new interchange at
Jefferson will follow in 2012. For additional
information, please see www.i10CVCprojects.com.
Coachella Valley Interchanges Underway
Two projects now underway on the I-215 will ease congestion for the 81,000 to 93,000 commuters that travel the I-215
everyday between the 15/215 junction and Scott Road.
The $60 million investment will add one lane in each direction from Murrieta Hot Springs Road in the south to Scott
Road in the north. Engineering is complete and the project is scheduled to break ground in early 2011. Widening will
take place primarily in the freeway median, reducing impacts to drivers during construction.
A southbound lane will be added between Murrieta Hot Springs Road at the 15/215 interchange. This $8.5
million project will be funded with a combination of Measure A and state funds.
Further north, the new 74/215 interchange is underway (see page 1). This $35 million project is widening
the overcrossing to two lanes plus adding two left turn lanes in each direction. In addition, both on ramps and
off ramps will be realigned and reconstructed with ramp meters added. Construction will be completed in
Fall 2012.
More improvements are in the planning stage. Studies to widen the 12.5-mile stretch of I-215 from
Scott Road to Nuevo Road by adding one lane in each direction are underway and environmental
documents should be available to the public for review by the end of 2010. In addition, the proposed
Perris Valley Line project will extend Metrolink service 24 miles further into Riverside County,
directly serving the communities of Riverside, Moreno Valley and Perris.
Good News for I-215 Commuters
RCTC has secured $162.5 million in state Proposition 1B money toward $600
million in grade separation projects to protect the quality of life in many Riverside
County communities from the effects of freight traffic through Southern California.
The ports of Southern California continue to be the nation’s largest and most
important center for the movement of goods into the United States. In 2008,
freight flowing through the ports totaled over $287 billion and generated more
than $30 billion in tax revenues. More than one million California jobs depend
on the movement of this freight.
Nevertheless, the monetary costs and effects on quality of life of freight
movement on Riverside County communities are substantial. In 2008,
RCTC updated its funding strategy to construct grade separations that
would alleviate congestion and mitigate the effects on air quality as a
result of freight traffic.
The latest success in that effort is the Proposition 1B
contribution toward funding of 12 grade separations and a new
215/Van Buren Boulevard interchange that will be built over the
next four years.
Columbia Av enue, located in Riverside, was the first
Proposition 1B project to be completed. Magnolia Av enue,
also in Riverside, is underway. These projects join grade
separations funded by other sources at Ju rupa Avenue in
Riverside and Avenue 48 and Avenue 50 in the
Coachella Valley on the completed project list.
Projects slated to begin in 2011 include Auto
Center Drive in Corona, Iowa Av enue in
Riverside, and the new interchange at I-215 and
Van Buren Boulevard.

Overview of RCTC
State law created the Riverside County Transportation Commission
(RCTC) in 1976 to oversee funding and coordination of all public
transportation services within Riverside County. RCTC serves as the tax
authority and implementation agency for Measure A, a voter-approved
1/2 cent sales tax, first passed in 1988 and in 2002 renewed by voters
through 2039.

FunDinG sOuRCes
RCTC’s funding sources are diverse and include the Measure A sales tax,
the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) sales tax, the Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee (TUMF), reimbursements primarily from federal and state
governments, investment and other revenues, and debt proceeds.
The local economy has been significantly impacted by the housing, subprime
mortgage, and credit crisis. Population growth has slowed down, there have
been significant job losses, and consumers have decreased spending. These
factors have resulted in declines in Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues and
TUMF fees since their peak in FY 2005/06. The FY 2010/11 budget for Measure
A and LTF sales tax revenues is comparable to FY 2009/10, as local economic
forecasts indicate a slow recovery through 2011.

DeLiVeRinG On PROMises
One of RCTC’s primary responsibilities is to administer
the voter-approved Measure A ½ cent sales tax program
for transportation projects. Measure A funds highway,
regional arterial, street and road, new corridors,
economic development, and transit projects throughout Riverside County.
The transportation sales tax was first approved by voters in 1988 and was
later extended in 2002, remaining in place until 2039. In voting for the
Measure A extension, voters placed their confidence in the Commission’s
ability to deliver much needed transportation projects.
Over the thirty-year life of Measure A, it is projected that $4.6 billion in
transportation funding will be generated. Of that amount, generally 75% of
the funding will be allocated to Western Riverside, 24% to Coachella Valley,
and 1% to Palo Verde Valley. The programs within each geographic area are
shown on the following chart:
Although the local economy has been negatively impacted by the recession
and RCTC is experiencing a challenging economic climate, the agency’s
focus continues to be on project delivery. In looking forward, RCTC is ready
to enter a year that will be full of promise and activity, much of which will
be funded through innovative thinking, careful management, and a
commitment to effectively invest scarce resources in much needed and
welcomed transportation projects and services.
By using a combination of funding from sources that include the voter-
approved Measure A sales tax, Proposition 1B, and other state and federal
programs, RCTC will be active in construction, environmental, and
engineering work for a number of projects. Construction will begin on three
major freeway projects funded by the Commission, and environmental work
will wrap up on the Perris Valley Line, a 24 mile extension of the Metrolink
commuter rail service. Preliminary project work will also move forward for
a dramatic expansion of State Route (SR) 91 in Corona which will feature
new toll lanes, a general purpose lane in each direction, and a series of
system improvements to include expanded interchange and improved
access to and from what might be Southern California’s most congested
freeway.
RCTC is pleased to provide the 2010 edition of Framework for a Journey.
It provides an overview of goals and objectives, financial resources and
trends, as well as project development and delivery.

The proposed Perris Valley Line (PVL) project will extend Metrolink service 24 miles
further into Riverside County, directly serving the communities of Riverside, Moreno
Valley, and Perris. The service will extend the existing Metrolink 91 line and run to
major employment centers such as Hunter Park, the Meridian Business Park as well
as southern Riverside County.
PvL PRojECT BENEFITS INCLuDE:
increased safety: Safety is a priority for RCTC and Metrolink. The PVL will employ
safety measures such as upgrading 15 at-grade crossings with features that could
include flashing warning devices, gates, raised center medians, striping, signing, and
pavement markings. Other safety measures include the implementation of Positive
Train Control. Metrolink plans to have full implementation of this new technology on
the PVL by opening day.
increased Mobility: Most of the PVL parallels the I-215 which is expected to carry
as many as 200,000 vehicles per day by 2020. The PVL will provide commuters with
a safe and traffic free alternative to I-215, one of the fastest growing corridors in the
county.
Better Public Transit Service: Metrolink, combined with regional and local bus
services, provides an environmentally-friendly and energy efficient alternative to
driving alone. It is estimated that the PVL will attract 4,350 riders daily serving
commuters from the cities of Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Perris, Moreno Valley,
Hemet and San Jacinto.
job Creation: By extending Metrolink to more of the region, local residents can take
the train to jobs within Riverside County. The success of Metrolink will make the area
more attractive to potential employers who will want to locate near vibrant rail stations.
station Development: A total of four new stations will be constructed to serve the
PVL. They will be located in Downtown Perris, South Perris, Moreno Valley/March
Field and the Hunter Park business area.

AMERICAN RECovERy AND
REINvESTMENT ACT oF 2009
In 2009, Congress approved the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA); as a result, Caltrans and local governments in the County received
federal stimulus funding for transportation projects. Although most of the
ARRA funding did not go directly to the Commission, the investment in the
area’s transportation system freed up dollars to build six important freeway
projects in various locations including:
In addition, a little over $2 million was provided for transportation

CoACHELLA vALLEy INTERCHANgES
A key component of RCTC’s Measure A program is the return to source
provision which provides that Measure A sales tax revenue is returned
to the geographical regions where the revenue is generated. There are
three primary geographical regions served in this manner: Western
Riverside County, the Coachella Valley and the Palo Verde Valley. The
Coachella Valley receives approximately 24% of the projected $4.6
billion in Measure A revenues.
The Coachella Valley’s transportation priorities are defined in the
Measure A Expenditure Plan, and much of the area’s funding is
administered by RCTC’s partner in the Coachella Valley, the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments (CVAG).
Currently, CVAG’s top priority is to complete construction on five
interchanges on Interstate 10 and improve access for another. Three
of the interchange projects are currently under construction: at Bob
Hope Drive, at Palm Drive and at Indian Canyon Drive. The interchange
project at Date Palm Drive is anticipated to be underway early in
2011, as will the access ramp improvements for the Monterey Avenue
interchange. Construction of a new interchange for Jefferson Street is
anticipated to begin in late 2012. The total estimated construction cost
for these interchange improvements is over $120 million, with a total
project cost of over $180 million.

GOODs MOVeMenT
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 network is composed of ports, airports, rail yards and distribution
centers, all connected by a highly developed system of highways and
railways. In 2008, freight flowing through the ports totaled in excess of $287
billion and generated upwards of $30 billion in total tax revenues. Goods
movement also provides much needed jobs. It is estimated that nearly
one million jobs in California are sustained by Southern California’s freight
movement activities and an additional two million jobs are sustained across
the rest of the nation.
Freight does not move for free. There are costs – both monetary and to
quality of life – that must be paid to improve and maintain a viable regional
freight movement system. Our infrastructure must grow to meet anticipated
demand. In Riverside County, almost all freight rail traffic is from passing
trains.
For communities in Riverside County, the pressing need is to construct
railroad grade separations to mitigate the effects of slow moving freight trains
that often bisect communities and impact public safety. In the past this has
often been seen as a local responsibility; however, Riverside County’s grade
separation needs are unique and pervasive with rail crossing delays impacting
the transportation system and the economy. There are currently 57 at-grade
crossings in Riverside County that are located along the Union Pacific and
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroads.
The Commission has been proactive in mitigating the negative impacts of
goods movement:
• Twice adopted a Grade Separation Funding Strategy, a one-of-a-kind
document in Southern California that provides a blueprint for delivering
the 20 highest-priority grade separations in Riverside County. Available
at www.rctc.org/downloads/GM_Funding_Strategy_2008.pdf
• Secured $162 million in Proposition 1B bond funding to construct
12 grade separations in Riverside County and improve a freeway
interchange at I-215 and Van Buren Blvd. The Proposition 1B funding
will enable 12 of the 20 highest-priority grade separations to be
constructed by 2014.
• Identified Alameda Corridor East grade separations as its top legislative
platform for the reauthorization of the federal transportation bill.

MuLTiMODaL seRViCes
The Multimodal Services Department manages the commuter rail, bus
transit, specialized transit, commuter assistance and motorist assistance
programs on behalf of the Commission.
COMMuTeR RaiL
RCTC is a member of the five-county Joint Powers Authority that funds
and operates Metrolink commuter rail services. Three Metrolink lines serve
Riverside County. The Commission owns and operates the five existing rail
stations serving these lines and the Perris Transit Center. The Commission is
also working on the Perris Valley Line extension and is in the process of
completing the advanced engineering and environmental planning phase of
the project.
PuBLIC TRANSIT
The Commission is charged with coordinating the operation of all public
transportation services within the county with a goal of promoting
program efficiency and service cooperation between transit operators.
Based on state law, RCTC is mandated to do the following:
· Develop and approve the Short Range Transit Plan for Riverside County;
· Evaluate, approve and program projects to be funded from federal,
state and local sources;
· Administer and allocate state and local transit funds;
· Coordinate and monitor transit service and operations and identify,
analyze and recommend potential improvements to improve efficiency
and effectiveness; and
· Ensure completion of financial and performance audits of transit
operators.
sPeCiaLizeD TRansiT
In addition to public transit services, RCTC provides funding for specialized
services that serve senior citizens and persons with disabilities. RCTC has
long demonstrated a commitment to assisting in the mobility of those with
special transit needs through its Measure A specialized transit program. With
the approval of the Public Transit Human Services Transportation Coordinated
Plan, RCTC became eligible to receive and disburse federal funds through
the Jobs Access and Reverse Commute and New Freedom programs for
specialized transit to augment its Measure A commitment.

COMMuTeR assisTanCe
The focus of the Commuter Assistance Program is to improve mobility
throughout the transportation system by encouraging commuters to make
a mode-shift decision away from solo vehicle commuting. RCTC offers a
comprehensive list of programs and outreach under the umbrella of commuter
assistance, which helps foster more efficient use of the transportation system
and reduces congestion and vehicle emissions. In order to promote ridesharing
behavior, the Commuter Assistance Program provides free rideshare services to
employers through its Inland Empire Commuter Services program which
includes employee transportation surveys, air quality management district
compliance assistance, ridematching, marketing materials, and offering various
rideshare incentives and programs to employees.
MOTORisT assisTanCe
The Commission offers a number of services to motorists who travel along
state highways in Riverside County. The Commission’s Call Box network and
the Freeway Service Patrol combine to provide an important safety net when
traveling in the County:
· Freeway service Patrol: RCTC, in partnership with Caltrans and the
California Highway Patrol, offers limited roadside assistance services
that include jump starts, refilling radiators and taping hoses, changing a
flat, and providing a gallon of gas. When these measures are not enough,
the Freeway Service Patrol will tow the motorist to an approved location
off of the freeway.
· Call Boxes: In Riverside County, more than 500 miles of roadways are
equipped with Call Boxes that can summon assistance for motorists with
mechanical problems. The service is invaluable in many remote areas
of the County and provides an important back up for drivers in cell
phone dead zones and for those with no phones or dead cell
phone batteries.
INLAND EMPIRE 511
RCTC administers a 511 traveler information system (IE511), in partnership
with the San Bernardino Associated Governments, to serve the Inland Empire.
IE511 provides up to the minute traffic information for the entire Southern
California region, comprehensive trip planning for transit users, and rideshare
and alternative commute information. The system can be accessed 24/7 by
dialing 511 within the Inland Empire or online at www.IE511.org. Users may
also sign up for Twitter feeds of major incidents and planned construction
closures. By providing commuters with timely travel information and commute
options, the IE511 system benefits the region with improved highway
efficiency and air quality.

Sales Tax by
economic Category
During the recent economic slowdown, changes have occurred in the
economic categories in which the Measure A sales tax was generated. For
several calendar years transportation represented the highest economic
category, and construction, which was comprised of the building materials
wholesale and building materials retail segments, was a significant
contributor. In 2009 general retail was the largest economic category, and
transportation and construction experienced significant declines due to the
recession and housing slowdown.
Each economic category consists of several economic segments, which
provide additional information regarding economic activity in the County.
In 2006 the top five economic segments consisted of auto sales-new,
department stores, building materials wholesale, service stations, and
restaurants. Over the next three calendar years, auto sales-new fell from
the leading economic segment to fourth and building materials dropped to
sixth, while department stores and restaurants rose to the top two economic
segments. The top five economic segments in 2009 with comparisons to
previous years are presented below.
