Commissioner Steve Adams asked if the California Transportation Commission (CTC) does not approve the funding allocation for the State Route 91 high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane project and the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan is not received for the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (SR-91 CIP), will existing funds be redirected to other projects or be maintained. Anne Mayer stated that while the CTC deferred allocating funds, the majority of the funding for the SR-91 HOV lane project comes from the Corridor Mobility Improvement Account. As for the SR-91 CIP, the funds being expended are related to preliminary engineering, completing the environmental document, and setting up the procurement process. The TIFIA loan will trigger the release of the request for proposal to select a design -build firm. Therefore, existing funds will be maintained. • RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes May 23, 2011 Page 4 Theresia Trevino stated the expenditures in the budget for the SR-91 HOV lanes are primarily for the right of way acquisition. Commissioner Ron Roberts requested an update for the Perris Valley Line (PVL) project. Anne Mayer stated for the PVL project the largest single source of funding is $75 million from the federal Small Starts program. She explained environmental approval of the PVL project is required, and then there is a several month process with the Federal Transit Administration before receiving authorization to use the funds. Additionally, there is $56 million in the State Transportation Improvement Program funds with the balance of the funding comprised of grant funds and other federal funds.

Jennifer Harmon Clerk of the Board • • " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 27, 2011 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer THROUGH: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Amendment to Standby Bond Purchase Agreements Related to the 2009 Bonds STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Receive and file a report on the proposed amendments, including the Fee Letter, to each of the three Standby Bond Purchase Agreements (SBPAs) between the Riverside County Transportation Commission and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan), as liquidity facility provider; 2) Adopt Resolution No. 1 1-010, Resolution Authorizing the Release of All or a Portion of the Debt Service Reserve Fund Related to the Riverside County Transportation Commission Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (Limited Tax Bonds) 2009 Series A, B, and C, the Execution and Delivery of a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, an Offering Memorandum, and the Taking of All Other Actions Necessary in Connection Therewith"; 3) Approve the estimated costs to be incurred in connection with the amendments to be paid from 2009 Measure A Bond Financing Program funds and the execution of related agreements, as required; and 4) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its August 2009 meeting, the Commission authorized the issuance of $185 million in sales tax revenue bonds. The bonds were issued in October 2009 as variable rate bonds in three series - A, B, and C - which require liquidity support, with a final maturity in June 2029. As a variable rate debt issue, the 2009 Bonds were integrated with the interest rate swaps executed in 2006 and 2008 that became effective in October 2009. Interest rates on the bonds are reset weekly by the remarketing agents - Barclays Capital Inc.; De La Rosa & Co. Inc.; and Backstrom McCarley Berry & Co. LLC. - with such rates determined, in part, based on the market performance of similar, tax-exempt bonds with similar liquidity Agenda Item 7 1 support. To support each series of the 2009 Bonds, the Commission executed three SBPAs with JPMorgan for a two-year liquidity facility, which expires on September 29, 2011, at 125 basis points. At staff's request, the Commission's financial advisor, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (Fieldman) contacted JPMorgan regarding its interest in an extension of the liquidity facility and changes in certain terms. JPMorgan and Fieldman have substantially completed negotiations related to an extension for an additional three year period and acceptable changes in certain terms, including a reduction in the cost of the liquidity facility and the possible release of all or a portion of the approximately $14.4 million debt service reserve. Fieldman contacted each of the rating agencies to identify and resolve any concerns regarding the partial release of the debt service reserve, and these discussions are still in process. The release of all or part of the reserve fund allows the Commission to fund the same amount of additional project costs without a separate financing. The effective cost of capital for obtaining the additional reserve amount, considering liquidity fees, reduced investment earnings and estimated costs of the amendments, is approximately 4% per year. This compares favorablywiththe Commission's overall cost of capital. Should the potential release of all or a portion of the debt service reserve result in a potential downgrade of the Commission's underlying long-term debt ratings by any of the rating agencies, the Commission will not include this change in the amendments and will not develop an offering memorandum. As a result of the proposed extension, the transaction costs for the amendments are likely to be considerably less than the costs to enter into a liquidity facility with a new bank under possibly different terms. The estimated costs for this transaction are estimated to not exceed $200,000 and may consist of fees to be paid to the following: • Financial Advisor - Fieldman; • Bond Counsel - Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP; • Disclosure Counsel - Fulbright & Jaworski LLP; • General Counsel - Best, Best & Krieger LLP; • Liquidity Provider Counsel - Nixon Peabody; and • Rating Agencies - Moody's, S&P, and Fitch. The extension of the JPMorgan liquidity facility does not increase the amount of debt issued and outstanding and' therefore does not affect the Measure A debt limit. In fact, the cost for liquidity under the amended terms is significantly lower than the original cost. Agenda Item 7 • • " " " In connection with the issuance of the 2009 Bonds by Resolution No. 09-017 adopted in August 2009, the Commission authorized the execution and delivery by the Commission of any agreement that amended and/or extended the terms of any of the financing agreements relating to the 2009 Bonds. Staff, Fieldman, and legal counsel have reviewed the amendments to the SBPAs, including the accompanying Fee Letter, and believe it to be advantageous to the Commission to enter into the amendments to the SBPAs. In accordance with the authority to enter into the extensions provided by Section 11 of Resolution No. 09-017, it is proposed that the Executive Director execute the attached amendments, including the Fee Letter, to the SBPAs on behalf of the Commission. Significant changes to these documents are not anticipated and will be executed pursuant to general counsel and bond counsel reviews. As a result of the potential release of the debt service reserve fund, it has been recently determined that a fourth supplemental indenture and an offering memorandum are required and a related resolution approving these two documents. Disclosure counsel and bond counsel are in the process of preparing these documents to be presented at the July 13 Commission meeting. At the meeting, the Commission vvill be requested to approve the following: " Resolution No. 11-010 authorizing the release of all or a portion of the debt service reserve fund; the execution and delivery of a fourth supplemental indenture and offering memorandum; and the taking of all other actions necessary in connection with this transaction; " Fourth supplemental indenture (draft) between the Commission and the trustee (draft) regarding an amendment to the terms and conditions of the 2009 Bonds; and " Offering memorandum (draft). As part of the action to authorize the release of the debt service reserve fund related to the 2009 Bonds, the Commission will approve the form of the Offering Memorandum and authorize its distribution in connection with the amendment to the terms of the liquidity facility for the 2009 Bonds. The Offering Memorandum is required under state and federal securities laws prohibiting the offer and sale of securities such as the 2009 Bonds, unless all matters that would be material to an investor in the 2009 Bonds have been adequately disclosed and that there is no omission of material facts. Furthermore, under applicable securities laws and regulations, if the reserve fund is reduced or eliminated, the remarketing agents (underwriting firms) cannot continue to market the 2009 Bonds without a revised Offering Memorandum. The Commissioners serving on the Board as the governing body of the issuer of the 2009 Bonds will be expected to read and be familiar with the information described Agenda Item 7 3 in the draft Offering Memorandum included with the staff report to be presented at the Commission meeting. The Commissioners may employ the services of experts to take the lead in the drafting and review of the Offering Memorandum; however, the Commissioners have the duty to review the information and bring to the attention of those responsible for the preparation of the offering document any misstatements or omissions in the draft and to ask questions if they are unclear about the information or their role. The financing team will be available at the Commission meeting to respond to the identification of any misstatements or omissions or to such questions. The current SBPAs expire on October 1, 2011. Due to the timing provisions relating to mandatory purchase of the 2009 Bonds, it is important for the Commission to be able to complete the extension of the SBPAs and other related amendments before September 1, 2011. Staff recommends approval of the estimated costs of issuance and execution of related professional services agreement amendments, as required. Additionally, the FY 2011/12 budget includes amounts for the liquidity facility fees and approximately $120,000 for professional services costs. Should the professional services costs related to this transaction exceed this amount and be less than the $200,000 not to exceed estimate, staff will return to the Commission at mid -year for a potential budget adjustment.

Morgan As of September 1, 2011 Riverside County Transportation Commission P.O. Box 12008 Riverside, CA 92502 Ladies and Gentlemen: Reference is made to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2009 (the "Original Agreement"), as amended by the First Amendment to the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith (the "First Amendment', and, the Original Agreement as amended by the First Amendment and this Fee Letter, the "Agreement') between the Riverside County Transportation Commission (the "Commission") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "Bank"). Any capitalized term below that is defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein. This letter is the Fee Letter described in the Agreement. In order to induce the Bank to enter into the First Amendment and to continue to provide liquidity support for the 2009 Series A Bonds pursuant to the Agreement, the Commission agrees to make the following payments at the following times: (A) Commitment Fee. B447162.4 (1) The Commission hereby agrees to pay to the Bank a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") with respect to the commitment of the Bank at a per annum rate (the "Commitment Fee Rate") multiplied by the Available Commitment. The Commission and the Bank agree that as of First Amendment Effective Date the Commitment Fee Rate will be [0.7651%. The Commitment Fee Rate may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the table below: 14 13447162.4 Level Commission Bond Rating} Commitment Fee Rate Moody's Fitch/S&P I Aal or better AA+or better [76.5] bppa II Aa2 AA [76.5] bppa III Aa3 AA- [96.5] bppa IV Al A+ [116.5] bppa V A2 A [136.5] bppa VI A3 A- [156.5] bppa VII Baal BBB+ [176.5] bppa VIII Baa2 BBB [196.5] bppa IX Baa3 BBB- [216.5] bppa X Below Baa3 Below BBB- [236.5] bppa (2) Improvements/Downgrades of Commission Bond Rating. If the Commission Bond Ratings assigned by all of the Rating Agencies, or by two of the three Rating Agencies, are at the same level, the Commitment Fee Rate will be based on the level at which all of the Rating Agencies, or two of the three Rating Agencies, if applicable, have assigned their respective Commission Bond Rating(s). For example, if Fitch assigns an "AA" rating, Moody's assigns an "Aa2" rating and S&P assigns an "AA+" rating, the Commitment Fee Rate will be determined in accordance with level II. If the Commission Bond Ratings assigned by each of the Rating Agencies is at a different level, the Commitment Fee Rate will be based on the rating assigned to the level in the middle of the three rating levels. For example, if Fitch assigns an "AA" rating, Moody's assigns an "Aa3" rating and S&P assigns an "AA+" rating, the Commitment Fee Rate will be determined in accordance with level II. However, if Fitch assigns an "AA-" rating, Moody's assigns an "A2" rating and S&P assigns an "AA" rating, the Commitment Fee Rate will be determined in accordance with level III. The change in the Commitment Fee Rate will be increased or reduced, as applicable, on such date that the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies in question shall have publicly announced its/their improvement/downgrade of its/their Commission Bond Rating(s) which improvement/downgrade affects the level or levels described above. (3) The Commitment Fee shall be payable in immediately available funds quarterly in arrears commencing on the first Business Day of December, 2011; provided, however, that in connection with the payment due on the first Business Day of 2 • 15 (1) On or before the First Amendment Effective Date, the Commission shall pay the fees and expenses of Nixon Peabody LLP, counsel to the Bank, in an amount not to exceed $ ; and (2) In connection with the written request by the Commission or the Trustee for (i) any amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification of the Agreement, the Indenture or any other Related Document requiring any action on the part of the Bank, or (ii) any transfer of the rights and obligations under the Agreement by the Commission or the Trustee, the Commission shall pay or cause to be paid to the Bank a fee of $5,000 (the "Amendment Fee"), plus reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Bank, for each amendment, supplement, waiver, consent or other modification hereof; provided however, an amendment of the Agreement at the request of the Bank or that entails nothing more than an extension of the term or adjustment to the Commitment Fee shall not require the payment of the Amendment Fee. Said Amendment Fees will be payable as set forth in paragraph (E) hereof. (C) Purchase Fee. The Commission shall pay to the Bank a purchase fee (the "Purchase Fee") in an amount equal to $500 for each purchase of 2009 Series A Bonds by the Bank, which amount shall be payable as set forth in paragraph (E) hereof. (D) Termination Fee. In the event the Commission replaces ,or terminates the Agreement prior to the Expiration Date, then the Commission shall pay to the Bank, in addition to all other Obligations that may be due and payable at such time, a termination fee equal to the Commitment Fee for the Commitment Period, less any Commitment Fees paid during such period pursuant to paragraph (A) hereof (the "Termination Fee"). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (D), no Termination Fee will be required to be paid by the Commission if (i) the 2009 Series A Bonds are then rated by Moody's, Moody's shall have lowered or withdrawn the short-term rating on the 2009 Series A Bonds below "P-1," as a result of the reduction by Moody's of the senior, unsecured short-term rating of the Bank; or (ii) the 2009 Series A Bonds are then rated by Standard & Poor's, Standard & Poor's shall have lowered or withdrawn the short-term rating on the 2009 Series A Bonds below "A-1," as a result of the reduction by Standard Poor's of the senior, unsecured short-term rating of the Bank; or (iii) the 2009 Series A Bonds are then rated by Fitch, Fitch shall have lowered or withdrawn the short- term rating on the 2009 Series A Bonds below "F-1," as a result of the reduction by Fitch of the senior, unsecured short-term rating of the Bank; or (iv) the Bank seeks to impose a fee increase pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Agreement; or (v) the Commission elects to prepay, defease, refinance or refund the 2009 Series A Bonds in full from a source of funds which does not involve the issuance by a bank or other financial institution of a letter of credit, liquidity facility, or credit facility or does not involve a bank direct purchase; provided, however, all Obligations including, without limitation, all principal and interest evidenced by Bank Bonds and all amounts payable under the Agreement and hereunder, shall be paid to the Bank at or prior to the time of termination. Payment of the Termination Fee will be subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraph (E) hereof. In addition, the Commission shall comply with the requirements of the Indenture with respect to terminating the Agreement. 13447162 4 4 • • • 17 (E) Fees and Payments.

Any fee not paid by the Commission by the third (3rd) Business Days next following the Fee Payment Due Date shall bear interest at the Default Rate from such third (3rd) Business Day until the day such fee is received by the Bank. Failure by the Bank to deliver any such invoice shall not modify the liability of the Commission for any such fees; provided that such fees shall not become due and payable and interest shall not accrue thereon except as set forth in the preceding sentence. All amounts paid pursuant to this Fee Letter shall be non-refundable. The obligation of the Commission to pay the Commitment Fee and all other amounts set forth herein and in the Agreement as fees (including, but not limited to, the fees herein and the fees described in Sections 2.9 and 10.3 of the Agreement) shall be payable from the Fee and Expense Fund of the Revenue Fund, pursuant to Section 5.02(A)(5) of the Indenture, if and to the extent that such amounts are not paid by the Commission from other moneys. Interest, fees and other amounts payable to the Bank under the Agreement and this Fee Letter shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed; provided, however, computations of the Commitment Fee and the Termination Fee shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. All amounts paid pursuant to this Fee Letter shall be paid in the manner set forth in the Agreement. This Fee Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Bank and the Commission. This Fee Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Measure A imposes several requirements on local agencies in order to receive local streets and roads funds. First, the Coachella Valley and Western County cities and the county must be participating in either the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) or Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) program. Western County agencies must also participate in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan managed by the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA). The cities of Beaumont and La Quinta are not TUMF participants, and Commission staff is in the process of obtaining confirmation from CVAG, WRCOG, and RCA regarding the current participation in their programs. Additionally, agencies are required to annually provide to the Commission a CIP detailing how those funds are to be expended and an annual certification of maintenance of effort (MOE) along with documentation supporting the calculation. On February 28, 2011, Commission staff provided the local agencies with Measure A revenue projections for local streets and roads to assist in preparation of the required CIP. The required CIP and supporting documentation have been received from all of the local agencies except the county of Riverside and the city of Cathedral City, which have informed Commission staff that they will submit the respective CIPs within a few weeks. Late submittals will be presented to the Agenda Item 8 21 Commission for approval at subsequent meetings. The FY 2011 /12 Measure A Local Streets and Roads disbursements to local agencies with Commission approved CIPs are expected to begin in September 2011. The CIPs received are posted on the Commission's website and are on file at the Commission.

2) Approve the city of Riverside's (Riverside) request for special consideration regarding its 2009 MOE base year level; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Measure A imposes several requirements on local agencies in order to receive local streets and roads funds. The 2009 Measure A ordinance continued the requirement for local agencies to maintain the current commitment of local discretionary expenditures toward transportation construction and maintenance activities. This requirement is to ensure that Measure A funds supplement current expenditures, not supplant. In accordance with the 2009 Measure A ordinance, if local agencies do not meet their respective MOE base year level in a given year, Measure A Local Streets and Roads disbursements will be withheld the following year. At its July 2010 meeting, the Commission approved the MOE guidelines developed by staff and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The guidelines also indicated that the implementation of the 2009 MOE base year levels would be applicable to FY 2011/12. For the first two years of the 2009 Measure A program (i.e., FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/1 1), the Commission approved the use of the 1989 Measure A MOE base year amounts, or the Proposition 42 MOE amount for cities incorporated in or after 1989. Agenda Item 9 23 The 2009 Measure A MOE annual certification process is as follows: • Local agencies 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 the MOE base year may submit a request for special consideration, which will be presented to the Commission. The newly incorporated cities of Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Menifee, and Wildomar are eligible to receive Measure A Local Streets and Roads funding upon notice of participation in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan and participation in the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee program. These cities will be required to determine their respective MOE base year levels to meet the MOE certification requirement after the third year of incorporation. After reviewing the MOE base year submittals, staff has accepted the methodologies for some of the local agencies, as indicated in the attachment. For the remaining local agencies, staff will continue to work with them to resolve any inconsistencies or questions pertaining to their proposed base year level and supporting documentation. Special Consideration Request Upon submitting the 2009 MOE base year level, Riverside requested special consideration, allowed under the MOE guidelines, for approval to establish its MOE requirement at the 1989 Measure A MOE base year level of $12,449,203 in lieu of the 2009 MOE base year level calculated as $16,997,233. The calculation method for determining the 2009 Measure A base year level is based on general fund expenditures for construction and maintenance activities during FY 2009/10. Riverside stated that because of the Riverside Renaissance program, a five-year infrastructure investment, expenditures used to calculate the 2009 MOE base year created a high MOE base year level that cannot be maintained since the Riverside Renaissance program was not intended to continue beyond the five-year investment period. Riverside also referenced that it .exceeded the MOE base year requirement under the 1989 Measure A by more than $46 million, and that the $12.45 million amount more accurately reflects Riverside's historic level of discretionary expenditures.

As you know, renewal of Measure A in 2009 required resetting the MOE baseline which unfortunately occurred in the middle of the City of Riverside's Renaissance Program, which was a five year investment in the City's infrastructure. Consequently, the City's level of discretionary spending on street maintenance was at an unsustainable level during the years proposed by RCTC to be used to establish the MOE base year. The Renaissance program is now coming to an end and the City's discretionary expenditures for all programs including street maintenance, will be returning to historic levels. Unfortunately, the historic levels are below the Commission proposed 2009 MOE for the City. Since the original MOE in 1988, the City has exceeded the MOE requirement for discretionary street maintenance expenditures. Over the life of the original Measure, street maintenance expenditures totaled $295 million, or more than $46 million over the $249 million MOE requirement (see attached). The requested MOE amount more accurately reflects the City's historic level of discretionary expenditures for street maintenance and would still be more than five times greater than the next highest Agency's requirement, the City of Corona at $2,207,944. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 951-826-5552 or Tom Boyd at 951-826-5575.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Through the annual 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 8 meeting, the Commission approved the FY 2011/12 - FY 2013/14 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 annual SRTP updates 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 Agenda Item 10 30 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. Primary guidance for the Commission is to use capital and operating funds in a manner that balances the need to be effective and efficient with the need to provide high quality service. In January 2011, the Commission received information on the FY 2011/12 revenue projections, which indicated an increase of approximately 8% in both LTF and in Measure A funding compared to the FY 2010/11 original estimates. Additionally, in June 2010, the county received $12.8 million through the fuel tax swap relief package to cover the lost STA funding in FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/1 1. In January 2011, the California State Controller's office also released the STA preliminary allocation estimates for the region for FY 2011/12 signifying the return of STA funding for transit. These recent increases in transit revenues provided a substantial capital revenue stream allowing the public operators to start implementing the planned capital procurements that have been limited or placed on hold for the last two years. SRTP Financial and Ridership Overview Based on submitted SRTPs for FY 2011/12, it is estimated that $212 million in total 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 total operating and capital costs together with projected ridership levels by apportionment area.

Attachment 4 shows the funding plan for FY 201 1 /12, which is projected to generate approximately 16 million in ridership, slightly 2% higher than the FY 2010/1 1 estimated ridership. Funding levels for next year's transit operations reflect a systemwide increase of 12% in total operating expenses and a significant jump of 122% in capital expenditures due to the implementation of major vehicle purchases funded with a combination of state, local and federal sources as well as with available fund reserves. FY 2011 /12 Operating and Capital Costs To implement the SRTPs for FY 201 1 /12, the request is to utilize approximately $102 million for operating and $77 million for capital in addition to the $32.7 million share from Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) to leverage the Commuter Rail Program. The chart below provides an overview of the operating and capital costs by funding source required to provide transit services in Riverside County.

The remaining balance of approximately $149 million (70%) 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: LTF and STA for transit capital, operations, and planning. The LTF funds are derived from quarter 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 where it is held until the Commission provides written allocation instructions for disbursement. It is estimated that LTF revenue for transit services for FY 2011/12 will be $52,784,515, reflecting an 8% increase compared to the original projected amount for FY 2010/11, and is consistent with the revenue projection provided at the January 2011 Commission meeting. The STA funds are a portion of gasoline sales tax revenues that are appropriated by the state legislature to the state public transportation account for transit purposes. These funds are allocated to the region based on share of population and share of fare revenues generated in each area during the prior fiscal year. In March 2009, the STA funding for transit was completely eliminated by the state; however, through the fuel tax swap legislation signed into law by the Governor in March 2010, Riverside County received about $12.8 million of the $400 million allocation for FYs 2009/10 and 2010/11. The legislative agreement is also expected to dedicate the diesel sales tax revenue stream to the Public Transportation Account on an ongoing basis, allowing the establishment of an estimated $350 million annual STA program for the state. There is approximately $18 million in STA unallocated reserve funds projected at the end of FY 2010/11. Additional revenues of $9.5 million are anticipated in FY 2011/12 for a total available amount of $27.5 million. About $8 million of this fund balance will be utilized by Riverside County operators for various capital projects in FY 2011/12. Prior to approving the STA Agenda Item 10 • 33 " allocations, the Commission must adopt the attached resolution as specified in the TDA statutes and California Code of Regulations. To ensure efficient use of existing capital funds, the Commission also adopted revised policies in March 2010, requiring all operators to spend down existing capital balances prior to requesting additional funds. In order for the public transit operators to claim LTF and/or STA funds, the Commission must allocate funds to support the transit services and capital projects contained in the FY 201 1 /12 SRTPs. The requested allocations are consistent with the approved SRTPs, and the funds are explicitly for the projects stated in the approved plans. The TDA allocations for FY 2011/12 requested by each operator are outlined in Attachment 3. Proposition 1 B Funding Approved by California voters in November 2006, Proposition 1 B authorizes the sale of $20 billion in state general obligation bonds for transportation purposes: Sale of the bonds is subject to annual appropriations in the state budget and is expected to be spread across several fiscal years. Bond proceeds are to fund various transportation programs, including the Proposition 1 B Public Transportation, Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement (Capital) program administered by Ca!trans and the California Transit Security Grant Program managed by the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA). For FY 2010/11, Riverside County was appropriated approximately $1.8 million in Proposition 1 B Security funds and about $44.6 million in Proposition 1 B Capital funds to cover a three-year spending plan for FY 2010/11  FY 2012/13. Although each region is guaranteed a share of Proposition 1 B funds by formula, these funds will be distributed as bonds are sold. It is unknown when these funds will be available and what the exact amount available will be from year to year. Because of the uncertainty when the funds are distributed, not all transit operators programmed their share of the funds for this coming fiscal year. Outlined below are amounts of Prop 1 B funds programmed by agencies for FY 201 1 / 12: Proposition 1 B Agency Capital Security City of Corona $  $ 38,448 City of Riverside 475,000 Commuter Rail 1,900,000 350,280 SunLine 9,870,868 394,927 PVVTA 534,079 21,368 Total $ 12,779,947 $ 805,023 Agenda Item 10 34 The Proposition 1 B program does not require agencies to provide matching funds. The city of Riverside and PVVTA programmed their Proposition 1 B FY 2010/1 1 capital allocation to purchase replacement vehicles. The Commission's Commuter Rail will use $1.9 million toward the engineering and construction of the Perris Valley Line (PVL) project, and SunLine will use all its Proposition 1 B Capital allocation for three years toward the construction of its administrative building. Approximately $805,000 in Proposition 1 B Security funds are programmed by the city of Corona, Commission's Commuter Rail, SunLine, and PVVTA for various transit security projects. FY 2011/12 Federal Funds: Sections 5307, 5309, 5311, 5316 and 5317 Section 5307 Formula Funds FTA's Section 5307 funds are allocated by formulas to each of the four urbanized areas (UZA) in Riverside County, namely: • Riverside/San Bernardino; • Hemet/San Jacinto; • Temecula/Murrieta; and • Indio/Cathedral City/Palm Springs. Attachment 2 is the proposed Section 5307 POP for Riverside County. The Commission must develop and approve a POP for each UZA and conduct a public hearing prior to an operator submitting its Section 5307 grant application to FTA. If the draft POP is not amended through the public hearing process, the POP will become final as presented and will be included in an approved RTIP, which is subsequently forwarded to the Southern California Association of Governments for review and processing. The Section 5307 requested funds by operator are shown below: FY 2011/12 Section 5307 Requested Funds Agency Amount City of Riverside 674,250 RTA 18, 298, 628 Commuter Rail 1,256,000 SunLine 3,464,390 Total $ 23,693,268 After a series of short-term continuing resolutions,.. the FTA released the final apportionment notice in May 2011, announcing the availability of federal funding for FY 2010/11. The actual Section 5307 apportionments for FY 2011/12 will not be known until later this calendar year when final appropriations are made by Agenda Item 10 35 " 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  Bus and Small Starts FTA Section 5309 Bus funds are earmarked by Congress and are designated for public transit operators for capital projects such as replacement or expansion of buses or improvement of bus facilities. FTA Section 5309 Small Starts are used for building new rail, bus rapid transit or extensions to existing systems. For FY 201 1 /12, the Commission's Commuter Rail and the city of Corona will be programming Section 5309 funds that were previously awarded last year. The Commission's Commuter Rail's Section 5309 earmark will be used toward engineering and construction of the PVL project while the city of Corona will be using its Section 5309 funds for procurement of fixed route buses. The projects must be included in an approved RTIP before the operators can access these funds. FY 2010/11 Section 5309 Earmarks Agency City of Corona Commission's Commuter Rail Total Section 5311 Funds Amount 208,000 25, 000, 000 $ 25,208,000 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. The financial plan for this year's program assumes the same funding level as FY 2010/11 for transit operations since the actual apportionments will not be known until the final appropriations are released. By programming the same level of funding, the operators will be able to apply for maximum funding and avoid delays to amend their programs. The program allocates $690,774 in formula funds for Riverside County, of which 61.7% will be allocated to RTA and 38.3%, for SunLine. As in previous years, both RTA and SunLine identified the use of Section 5311 formula funds for operating. The 61.7%/38.3% formula was approved by the Commission in 1987, Agenda Item 10 36 and was based on the level of service each agency operated in the non-UZA of the county. The Commission must develop and approve a Section 5311 POP before grants are approved. FY 2011 /12 Section 5311 Requested Funds Agency Amount % Allocation RTA $ 426,208 61.7% SunLine 264,566 38.3% Total $ 690,774 100.0% Section 5316 & 5317 Formula Funds Authorized under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act, a Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), two recent federal programs, namely Section 5316 - Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) and Section 5317 New Freedom (NF), were established to meet the transportation needs of the low- income population, welfare recipients, and persons with disabilities. All projects funded under this program must be derived from a locally developed, coordinated public transit -human -services transportation planning process. RTA, SunLine, and PVVTA were awarded federal FY 2008/09 and 2009/10 JARC and NF funding in April 2011. These agencies are programming these funds for specialized transit operations for FY 201 1 /12 and FY 2012/13. Funding allotments for FY 2011 /12 are as follows: Agency Section 5316(JARC) Section 5317(NF) RTA $ 815,065 $ 103,290 SunLine 119,057 101,475 PVVTA 38,620 17,210 Total $ 972,742 $ 221,975 These funds will be used to cover expenses for RTA's Commuter Link 212 and 217, extended fixed route services and travel training; SunLine's commuter service to Banning and taxi voucher program; and PVVTA's mobility management program. Summary 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. Agenda Item 10 • 37 " " Fiscal Impact The funding allocations are based on the revenue estimates developed for the FY 201 1 /12 Commission budget. The budget adopted at the June 8 Commission meeting included $54.83 million in LTF transit operating expenditures, $10.375 million in LTF transit capital expenditures, and $20.3 million in STA capital expenditures. These budgeted expenditures, which include use of prior year capital allocations, are expected to be funded by FY 2011 /12 revenues, as well as available fund balances. Based on these recommended allocations, no budget adjustments are required.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Transportation Development Act requires that the Commission annually identify and analyze operating trends for each operator and recommend potential productivity improvements, which could lower the operating costs as per the Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99244. The Commission meets this requirement through the adoption and approval of the Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP), which detail the operating and capital costs for planned transit services for both bus and commuter rail. The PIP was designed to assist in the SRTP process and meet state PUC requirements by establishing objective criteria for assessing productivity improvement opportunities. The program is part of the Commission's comprehensive effort to work with the county's eight public transit operators to improve system efficiency, provide better service and manage costs. To accomplish this, the PIP establishes both mandatory and discretionary performance targets that are evaluated against the operator's actual performance. The PIP requires all operators to meet a single mandatory target and seven discretionary targets. The performance targets are evaluated through the PIP process as follows: Mandatory Target " Fare box recovery ratio (between 10 percent for services provided in non - urbanized areas and 20 percent for services in urbanized areas). Agenda Item 11 48 Discretionary Targets • Operating cost per revenue hour (CPI annual increase); • Subsidy per passenger (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per passenger mile (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per revenue hour (+/- 15% variance); • Subsidy per revenue mile (+/- 15% variance); • Passengers per revenue hour (+/- 15% variance); and • Passengers per revenue mile (+/- 15% variance). Additional Discretionary Targets for Commuter Rail Program • Ridership growth - goal of 2%; and • Passenger miles per revenue car - goal of 30 passengers per revenue car mile. To be in compliance with the PIP, a bus operator needs to meet or exceed the required fare box recovery ratio and meet or exceed four of seven discretionary targets. The Commuter Rail Program must meet or exceed the required fare box recovery ratio as well as five out of nine discretionary standards. Based on the FY 2009/10 data the attached PIP Compliance Summary report indicates that all transit operators have either met or exceeded the PIP targets. The cities of Banning, Corona, Riverside, Riverside Transit Agency and SunLine Transit Agency have met the required fare box recovery target and all seven discretionary targets. The city of Beaumont met the mandatory fare box target as well as six out of seven discretionary targets, while the Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency met four of seven discretionary targets in addition to the mandatory fare box target. The Commission's Commuter Rail Program has met its fare box requirement and five out of nine discretionary targets. To ensure that transit services in the county are provided effectively and efficiently, staff in cooperation with transit providers will continue to monitor quarterly performance to track progress against each agency's own goals, performance measures and service standards. Staff also intends to implement a comprehensive review of the PIP to ensure that policy, criteria, and targets are both fair and achievable by the operators in light of the current economic conditions.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, 2% of the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenue is made available for use on bicycle and pedestrian facility projects through the Commission's SB 821 program. This is a discretionary program administered by the Commission. There are three steps to carry out the program: 1. All cities and the county are notified of the SB 821 program estimate of available funding and are requested to submit project proposals. The Commission's SB 821 program policies, project application, and selection criteria are also provided with the notification. 2. SB 821 evaluation committee, comprised of members of the Commission's Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees (three each), meets to review and rank the project applications using the evaluation criteria adopted by the Commission and recommends projects and funding amounts to the Commission for approval. 3. The Commission reviews the Committee's recommendations and approves a program of bicycle and pedestrian projects for funding. The agencies then have 24 months to complete the projects. Any projects not completed using local sources or awarded a construction contract within the Agenda Item 12 59 24-months are deleted from the program and the funds are reprogrammed in the next fiscal year. There are to be no time extensions granted unless the project is part of -a larger, federally funded project or a project requiring coordination with another public agency that has been delayed beyond the city/county's control. DISCUSSION: At its July 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded $1,591,765 to fund 16 projects as part of its SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities program. The agencies had until June 30, 2009, to complete the projects within this funding cycle. Temecula was allocated $132,000 for construction of the Santa Gertrudis Creek Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge Overcrossing project. In May 2009, Temecula requested a 12-month extension, which was approved by the Commission in June 2009. In May 2010, Temecula asked for a second extension, which was approved by the Commission in June 2010. Per Temecula's extension request letter, the project was also awarded federal funds as part of the Safe Routes to School program and therefore had to comply with National Environmental Policy Act. Environmental Clearance was obtained in May 2010. Temecula then submitted its request for approval to proceed with construction to Ca!trans Local Assistance. Due to additional federal requirements, Temecula is requesting a third and final 12-month extension. The 12-month extension gives Temecula until June 30, 2012, to complete the project and claim the allocated SB 821 funds.

Box 12008 Riverside, CA 92502-2208 Re: Santa Gertrudis Creek Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge Overcrossing -- Request for Extension FY2007/2008 SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Dear Ms. Edmiston; The City of Temecula requests an extension of time beyond the June 30, 2011 deadline to claim approved SB821 program funds for the Santa Gertrudis Creek Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge Overcrossing project. In addition to the SB821 program funds, the City of Temecula was successful in obtaining additional grant funding through the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program. Due to the economic downturn the State SR2S program funds were replaced with federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding. As a result, the City was tasked with administering the federal environmental processes to acquire NEPA clearance. The City of Temecula has diligently pursued environmental approval, and in May 2010, obtained environmental clearance from Caltrans. Immediately following environmental approval, we submitted our Request for Authorization (RFA) to Proceed with Construction to Caltrans, Local Assistance. Many requests from Caltrans followed, including the submittal of additional documents, revisions and permitting requirements not previously outlined as a requirement of the RFA review and approval process. The on -going delay in processes has resulted in reaching the critical deadline associated with our SB821 program funds. (Summary of Milestone Tasks — attached for your reference) Along with the SB821 deadline, we were notified by Caltrans that our project was dropped from the FI'IP - Grouped Projects for HSIP programmed funds. Upon receipt of this information, we immediately pursued actions to remedy the issue. We have since coordinated with RCTC and SCAG to ensure our project is included in the Administrative Amendment No. 9 to amend the FTIP, so that the obligation of federal funding can occur. Once the amendment is approved, Caltrans Headquarters can approve our RFA package and the City of Temecula can advertise, bid and award the project for the construction phase of work. Pr Iowa on Recycled Paper R:1C1P\PROJECTSIPWON'WOS-11 SG Creek Ped Bridge\Letters\RCTC-S13821-ExtensionRgstJune 201 L}cd.doc 61 Many events have impeded our progress in implementing this project, but the City is committed to fulfilling our obligation and we support the goals and objectives of the SB821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Program and the Safe Routes to School program. This project is significant and extremely beneficial to the community and it provides a vital link between schools and residential neighborhoods and promotes separation of trail commuters and motorists, thereby enhancing safety. This project is fully funded and will be ready for contract bid and award immediately following reinstatement in the FTIP. We respectfully request an extension beyond the June 30, 2011 timeframe to continue our efforts to project implementation and completion. We anticipate the FTIP amendment to be approved within the next three weeks and subsequent approval from Caltrans of our RFA package to follow shortly thereafter. We are planning to award a construction contract within 90 days of approval and subsequently satisfy our claim for SB821 programs funds. Your serious consideration of our request to extend the time for a period of twelve months to claim approved funds will allow us to move forward with the construction of this much needed pedestrian facility.

(3/12/03) RCTC: 3/20/03 66 " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 27, 2011 TO: Budget and Implementation Committee FROM: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Receive an update on state and federal legislation; 2) Adopt the following bill positions: a) SB 446 (Dutton) - Support; b) HR 1825 (Blumenauer) Support; c) S. 1034 (Schumer) - Support; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State Update Budget Picture Remains Murky At the time this staff report was written, Republicans and Democrats in the State Senate had failed to come to an agreement on a state budget over the weekend of June 11. The main sticking point regards the issue of extending the current sales and income tax rates along with sustaining an increase in vehicle registration fees. The Governor was seeking an extension of the current rates as a precursor to an election. In response, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg introduced a bill to expand the taxing authority for local governments. Most observers believe that Senator Steinberg's legislation was being used as a tool to force negotiations and would be impractical to implement if approved. In spite of the wrangling regarding taxes, there appears to be a general consensus on the treatment of transportation issues, which would include the appropriation of $1 billion in Proposition 1 B bond funding in anticipation of a bond sale. There also seems to be general consensus on the need for improved oversight and changes regarding the administration of the state's high-speed rail effort. Agenda Item 13 67 Legislature Approves AJR 4 Assembly Joint Resolution 4, authored by Assembly Member Jeff Miller (R-Corona), which expresses the California Legislature's support for a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) grant for the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project was approved by the Senate on June 14, and will be sent to President Obama and Secretary LaHood. In many instances, TIFIA funding is often supported by state interests. The approval of the resolution adds a level of state support making the Commission's TIFIA application even more compelling to evaluators in Washington, D.C. SB 446 Creation of Ontario International Airport Authority While officials in Los Angeles have often stated their support for "regionalizing" passenger air traffic in Southern California, the recent experience of Ontario International Airport paints a far different picture regarding air travel in Southern California. Passenger travel through Ontario International Airport has declined by more than a third since 2007. While a significant portion of the decline can be attributed to the economy, an opposing argument can be made that a lack of support for the Ontario International Airport is hindering a local economic recovery. SB 446 by Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga) seeks to bring Ontario International Airport under local control through the creation of a new joint powers authority comprised of seven members appointed by the Ontario City Council and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. The language allows for a specified number of members to be appointed who are, "...representatives of the primary air service market served by Ontario International Airport and need not be persons residing in the City of Ontario or the County of San Bernardino," thus allowing for representation from the larger Inland Empire area. The Commission's legal jurisdiction regarding air traffic is essentially non-existent. The Commission is strictly a surface transportation agency; however the area's economy depends on access to air travel and the Commission recognizes the need to fully utilize assets such as the airports in Ontario and Palm Springs, as well as the extensive network of general aviation and freight facilities. Senator Dutton's bill seeks to realize the value of the asset through local input and control while requiring close cooperation among local agencies including the city of Los Angeles, which currently operates the facility. Agenda Item 13 • • • 68 " " " Federal Update For a number of years, the Commission has been on record in supporting efforts to provide more latitude for employers to offer commuting incentives on a pre-tax basis. This allows employers to provide benefits that include transit passes, subsidies for vanpool costs and other commuting expenses that are exempt up to a certain level from taxation. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)  commonly known as the stimulus bill  raised the limit on what can be excluded from personal income taxes from $120 per month to $230 per month. The raise in the limit was temporary and is set to expire at the end of this year. HR 1825 by Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) and S. 1034 by Senator Charles Schumer (D-New York) will extend the current programs until 2014. This is consistent with the Commission's legislative platform adopted in December 2010 which states: "Congress should approve tax benefits and/or incentives for transportation demand management programs and alternative fuel programs to promote the use of alternate modes of transportation." Both of the federal bills were recently introduced and no committee hearings are scheduled in the immediate future. Agenda Item 13 69
