recommendations, highlighting the following areas:
• Past STIP cycles;
• 2018 STIP fund estimate for Riverside County;
• Palo Verde Valley / city of Blythe (Blythe) memorandum of understanding (MOU)
– The Commission and Blyth MOU STIP trade;
• 2018 STIP Western Riverside County proposed projects;

August 28, 2017
Page 4
• A map depicting the proposed 2018 projects Western Riverside County; 2018 STIP
programming for Coachella Valley Association of Governments STIP share; and
• Next steps.
At Commissioner Michael Naggar’s request to describe the southern extension of the
I-15 express lanes, Shirley Medina replied it will be located between the Calajco Road
interchange and State Route 74.
Anne Mayer explained the master plan includes for the I-15 express lanes to SR-74 a
carpool lane to the 15/215 split, and then potentially a carpool lane down from the split
to the County line.
In response to Commissioner Naggar’s request to receive the plan to share with his staff,
Anne Mayer replied staff can get that information and it is in the Regional Transportation
Plan (RTP).
Commissioner Naggar expressed support for this effort. He explained it is especially
important as the region there are approximately 90,000 jobs in the area and 70,000 of
those jobs are located in the Murrieta/Temecula area.
In response to Commissioner Chuck Washington’s question on which direction was most
impacted, Anne Mayer replied it is in both directions on I-15 two lanes in each direction
from Cajalco Road down to SR-74. She explained for Riverside County to build a lane in
each direction on I-15 in Riverside County only to have traffic stop at the San Diego County
line is not going to solve the issue. The primary issue is the lack of capacity between
Escondido and the County line, which is in the long range plan for San Diego.
Commissioner Washington stated receiving numerous emails regarding the congestion
on the I-15, especially every afternoon seven days a week on the northbound side
requesting him to fix the issue. He discussed his concerns for what is causing the backup
into Temecula on the northbound side and the traffic on the San Diego County line
northbound. He suggested to add an additional lane to alleviate some of that back up to
benefit the region.
Anne Mayer concurred and stated this has been something the Commission has worked
on for over 10 years and there was a joint committee between Riverside County and San
Diego County elected officials talking about this issue. She discussed why the Commission
prioritized the I-215, and to finish the improvements on I-15 from the 15/215 split north
to relieve the congestion. She expressed the only way the Commission can solve traffic
congestion is by investing in improvements and the Commission is systematically doing
that.
RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes
August 28, 2017

Commissioner Washington explained he witnessed especially northbound at Winchester
Road people struggled to get on the freeway as it backs up onto Winchester Road and
back to the first intersection at Ynez Road. He stated it appears as if there is a lot of lane
stacking in the right two lanes although traffic is moving relatively well in the far two
lanes.
In response to Commissioner Washington’s question to begin dialogue with San Diego
County and if Caltrans District 08 boundary ends at the County line, Anne Mayer replied
Caltrans District 08 boundary ends at the County line and she would suggest to have
conversations within Riverside County and with Caltrans identifying potential options for
projects prior to reaching out to San Diego.
Commissioner Rick Gibbs explained as he recollected the funding for the I-15 interregional
partnership between the Commission and San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) was a grant. If the Commission could get that type of grant again it would
probably be worth it, after the internal discussion to try to resurrect the I-15 interregional
partnership.
Anne Mayer replied the Commission has several plans and concurred the Commission
received grant funding to have those interregional county conversations and she does not
think a grant is necessary to do that. Anne Mayer explained between the Commission,
Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), the jurisdictions in SANDAG there
is a lot of staff work that could supply staff support to the elected officials. SANDAG is as
tapped out of funding as the Commission is and there is a big dispute in San Diego over
transit versus roads.
Commissioner Gibbs expressed when it is determined to have this conversation begin one
of the things as elected officials should do is send a notice to San Diego County employers
of the zip codes that their employees are trying to travel southbound into San Diego
County every morning.
Commissioner Naggar stated he received a message from Temecula’s City Manager Aaron
Adams, and he read it. He suggested having discussions with WRCOG and SANDAG as
there may be an appendage to this related to tourism in order to make more compelling
arguments for the need of funding.
Commissioner Harnik stated she would expect this to prompt more conversation at the
September Commission meeting and requested to include a map in the staff report.

AGENDA ITEM 7A
Agenda Item 7A
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: September 25, 2017
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
THROUGH: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Analysis
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Receive and file the sales tax analysis for Quarter 1, 2017 (1Q 2017); and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its December 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement with MuniServices, LLC
(MuniServices) for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on
additional sales tax revenue generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax) audit
services. As part of the recurring contracts process, the Commission approved a five-year
extension through June 30, 2018. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only
the Measure A sales tax revenues.
Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices submitted an audit, which reported
findings and submitted to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) for review and determination
of errors in sales tax reporting related to 671 businesses. Through 4Q 2016, the SBOE approved
456 of these accounts for a total sales tax recovery of $7,642,288. Updated amounts for 1Q 2017
will be provided once received from MuniServices. If the SBOE concurs with the error(s) for the
remaining claims, the Commission will receive additional revenues; however, the magnitude of
the value of the remaining findings was not available. It is important to note that while the
recoveries of additional revenues will be tangible, it will not be sufficient to alter the overall trend
of sales tax revenues. After December 31, 2017, the SBOE duties regarding sales and use tax will
be transferred to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, and the Office of Tax
Appeals will hear appeals.
Additionally, MuniServices provided the Commission with the quarterly sales tax summary report
for 1Q 2017. Most of the 1Q 2017 Measure A sales tax revenues were received in the second
quarter of calendar year 2017, during April 2017 through June 2017, due to a lag in the sales tax
1
Agenda Item 7A
calendar. The summary section of 1Q 2017 report is attached and includes an overview of
California’s economic outlook, local results, historical cash collections analysis by quarter, top 25
sales/use tax contributors, historical sales tax amounts, annual sales tax by business category,
five-year economic trend for significant business category (construction), and final results.
Taxable transactions for the top 25 tax contributors in Riverside County generated 20.5 percent
of taxable sales for the benchmark year ended 1Q 2017 – comparable to the benchmark year
ended 1Q 2016. The top 100 tax contributors generated 34 percent taxable sales for the
benchmark year ended 1Q 2017, comparable to the 33.9 percent benchmark year ended
1Q 2016.
In the Economic Category Analysis below, all six categories experienced new highs in the 1Q 2017
benchmark year compared to the prior seven benchmark years.
An analysis of sales tax performance by quarter through 1Q 2017 is attached and illustrates fairly
consistent cycles for sales tax performance for most of the economic categories since the
economic recession in 2009.
For 8 of the top 10 segments (auto sales-new, restaurants, department stores, miscellaneous
retail, building materials-wholesale, apparel stores, food markets, and building materials-retail)
during the past eight benchmark year quarters, sales tax receipts reached a new high point. The
8 segments represent 61.9 percent of the total sales tax receipts. Service stations and light
industry representing 7.4 percent and 4.3 percent respectively, were lower than the 1Q 2016
benchmark year due to lower fuel prices and completion of renewable energy developments in
Riverside County, respectively.
These top 10 segments represent 73.6 percent of the total sales tax receipts. For the other
19 segments representing 26.4 percent of the total sales tax receipts, 14 segments representing
22.3 percent of the total sales tax receipts reached new high points in the benchmark year 1Q
2017.

ECONOMIC CATEGORY ANALYSIS

Agenda Item 7A
In the Economic Segment Analysis below, auto sales-new, restaurants, and department stores
represent the three largest segments for Riverside County, or 32.4 percent of total sales tax
receipts. This is the eighteenth consecutive quarter since 4Q 2008, that auto sales-new and
department stores have been in the top three economic segments. Growth seen in previous
quarters for service stations segment has been declining continuously from the high in the last
six years due to lower fuel prices. Restaurants replaced service stations in the top three economic
segments beginning in 4Q 2014.
During the review of the 1Q 2017 detailed report with MuniServices, information regarding sales
tax comparison by city and change in economic segments (two highest gains and two highest
losses) from 1Q 2017 to 1Q 2016 was provided and is attached.
Staff continues to monitor monthly sales tax receipts and other available economic data to
determine the need for any adjustment to the revenue projections. Staff will utilize the forecast
scenarios included with the complete report and receipt trends in assessing such projections.

CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
California sales tax receipts increased by 2.3% over the same quarter from the previous year, with
Northern California reporting a 2.3% increase compared to 2.3% for Southern California. Receipts for the
Riverside County Transportation Commission changed by 3.6% over the same periods.
E‐Commerce transactions are growing as consumers shift to online shopping. During the holiday
season of 2016, overall consumer spending growth increased 4.7%. Online retail sales grew by 12%
making up 21.3% of all holiday spending, a substantial increase from 15.4% last year. (First Data)
Will California's unemployment rate continue to drop? The state continued the downward trend in
the unemployment rate, landing at 4.8% in April, just 0.4% above the national rate. The forecast for
2017, 2018 and 2019 total employment growth is 1.4%, 1.0% and 0.9%, respectively. (UCLA Anderson)
California's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown consistently faster than the nation's as a
whole for five straight years. GDP is one of the most comprehensive and closely watched economic
statistics; it measures the market value of goods, services, and structures produced by the nation’s
economy within a particular period. In 2016, the California GDP rose 4.5%, while the U.S. GDP increased
3% (unadjusted for inflation). (BEA)

1) Receive and file an update on state and federal legislation; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
DISCUSSION:
State Update
AB 1189 (E. Garcia)
The Commission’s sponsored legislation is on Governor’s Brown’s desk for consideration. Staff,
the Commission’s state advocate in Sacramento, and the coalition backing AB 1189 are
communicating support of the bill and encouraging Governor Brown to sign the bill into law.
AB 135 (Assembly Budget Committee)
In accordance with the Commission-adopted 2017 State and Federal Legislative Platform, staff
communicated the Commission’s support of AB 135, a budget trailer bill authored by the
Assembly Budget Committee. AB 135, if approved, would make three important changes:
1) Caltrans would be authorized to perform National Environmental Policy Act assignment
on all rail, transit, and multimodal projects in California;
2) Local and regional agencies could request approval of a letter of no prejudice to use local
funding to advance SB 1 projects; and
3) Cities and counties would be given more time and flexibility for adopting Local Streets
and Roads project lists for submittal to the California Transportation Commission. For
self-help counties like the Commission, having the ability to advance local road funding
enables us to get projects to construction sooner.

Agenda Item 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: September 25, 2017
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Senior Management Analyst
Grace Alvarez, Planning and Programming Manager
THROUGH: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
SUBJECT: California Transportation Commission’s Active Transportation Program
Cycle 3 Augmentation Funding Recommendations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the two highest scoring active transportation projects for inclusion in the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3
Augmentation Regional Program, consisting of the Riverside County Department of Public
Health’s Cabazon/Banning Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program and the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments’ (CVAG) CV Link project, for funding totaling approximately
$4,799,222;
2) Approve the Riverside County ATP contingency list, consisting of the next highest scoring
projects, for inclusion in the MPO ATP Augmentation Regional Program;
3) Submit the recommended projects to the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) for inclusion in the MPO ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation Regional
Program and subsequent submittal to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for
final approval in December 2017;
4) Submit the MPO ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation regional projects to SCAG for inclusion in the
Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) programming;
5) Direct staff to coordinate with the MPO ATP Regional Program project sponsors regarding
timely funding allocations, obligations, and project delivery; and
6) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
ATP Cycle 3
ATP is a highly competitive statewide program that funds bicycle and pedestrian facilities and
programs to enhance or encourage walking and biking. Cycle 3 commenced in June 2016, and
approximately $264 million was available in funding for Fiscal Year 2019/20 and FY 2020/21. A
total of 456 applications were submitted statewide requesting nearly $977 million. The CTC
awards 50 percent of the funds at the statewide competitive level, 10 percent to small urban and
rural regions, and 40 percent at the large MPO level. The ATP process allows applicants two
14
Agenda Item 9
rounds of opportunity to be awarded – statewide and MPO level. As part of the sequential
project selection, projects are first evaluated statewide and those that are not ranked high
enough for statewide funding are automatically provided a second opportunity for funding
through the large MPO share.
ATP guidelines require that the large MPOs work with county transportation commissions to
develop its regional program recommendations. SCAG, as one of the largest MPOs receives
about half of the MPO funds in the state and distributes 95 percent to the counties based on
population for implementation projects and sets aside 5 percent for planning and
non-infrastructure projects. Riverside County was allotted approximately $6.6 million for
implementation projects and in January 2017, the Commission approved the award of these
funds to the next highest scoring projects.
A total of 26 projects were submitted from local agencies in Riverside County, requesting about
$66 million. In total, 7 projects were awarded (three from statewide and four from MPO),
totaling $18 million in ATP Cycle 3 funds. See Attachment 1 for list of approved Cycle 3 statewide
and MPO projects.
ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation Funds
In April 2017, with the passage of SB 1, an additional $200 million for the program became
available for FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19 and a call for projects for ATP Augmentation funds was
released on June 30, 2017, allowing only Cycle 3 applicants to apply. A total of $8 million, which
is 4 percent of the available funding was allocated to the California Conservation Corps and the
remaining funds were distributed as follows: $96 million (48 percent) for the statewide
competitive component, $19.2 million (9.6 percent) for small urban and rural regions, and
$76.8 million (38.4 percent) for the large MPO component. Priority of funds were given to
projects, which could deliver one or more phases in FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19, and as
programming capacity became available in FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 additional projects were
considered for funding. Applications were due August 1, 2017, and a total of 20 applications
were submitted from local agencies in this county.
CTC staff’s statewide competitive component recommendations were released August 31, 2017
and included 11 projects (8 of which are new) from Riverside County, as shown in the table below.

The projects listed above represent 26.5 percent of the proposed $98.9 million of programming
for Cycle 3 Augmentation funds, which total includes the recommendation to over program by
approximately $3 million. Approval for these projects is anticipated at the October 18-19, 2017
CTC meeting. See Attachment 2 for full listing of CTC Recommendations.
The SCAG MPO ATP Augmentation share is about $40 million (of the $76.8 million large MPO
funds) and includes $38 million for implementation projects and $2 million for planning and
non-infrastructure activities.
Riverside County’s share for implementation projects is approximately $4.8 million. MPO ATP
guidelines allow each county transportation commission to add up to 10 points to the CTC score
for projects based on local criteria. In May 2014, the Commission approved adding 10 points to
projects consistent with adopted local and regional plans, consistent with state and MPO ATP
guidelines. All projects submitted within the county, at a minimum, are consistent with the SCAG
adopted 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy.
The CTC’s ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation program guidelines added a provision for the MPO
component to allow supplanting of funds to projects that received less ATP funding than
requested in Cycle 3 due to the fact that the SB 1 funding was made soon after the CTC’s
recommendations for Cycle 3 were approved. Staff recommends that the approximately
$4.8 million allotted to Riverside County for implementation projects be awarded to the next
highest scoring projects, listed below, that requested advancements in programming or received
partial funding in Cycle 3.

Staff is continuing to work with SCAG on the programming capacity of funds available under Cycle
3 and the Cycle 3 Augmentation. It is possible that after a comprehensive review of all of the
county transportation commissions’ recommendations for Cycle 3 Augmentation that further
adjustments may be required; however, the total allocation of $4.8 million will be distributed
among the highest scoring projects.
Staff also recommends the next highest scoring projects (as shown in Attachment 1) be submitted
to SCAG for a contingency list. In the event that a programmed project is delivered for less or
fails, a contingency list will be provided to the CTC and will be in effect only until the adoption of
the next statewide program.
The $2 million set aside for planning and non-infrastructure projects will be selected from SCAG’s
Sustainability Planning Grants (SPG) program. Projects that will be considered for funding are:
1) those that submitted through SCAG’s 2016 SPG program that were unfunded; and 2) new
projects submitted in SCAG’s 2017 supplemental call for projects, which opened July 6, 2017 with
applications due August 31, 2017. To qualify as a planning project, applicants must also meet
ATP requirements such as qualification as a disadvantaged community (DAC). The DAC
requirement does not apply to non-infrastructure programs. As of the writing of this staff report,
SCAG recommendations for this program have not been made available.
Next Steps
Upon approval of the above recommendations, staff will submit the projects to SCAG for
inclusion in the MPO ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation Regional Program, which will be approved by the
SCAG Regional Council on October 5, 2017. SCAG will then submit the MPO Augmentation
projects to the CTC for final approval at the CTC’s December 5-6, 2017 meeting.
Staff will work closely with project sponsors in preparing allocation funding requests and requests
for obligating federal funds. Projects awarded under the MPO component must obtain
concurrence from the Commission on each allocation request for funding as required by the CTC.
Projects will also be required to be included in the FTIP.
As a condition of the project allocation for the statewide and MPO ATP programs, the CTC
requires project sponsors to submit to Caltrans semi-annual reports on the activities and progress
17
Agenda Item 9
made toward implementation of the project and a final delivery report upon project completion.
The purpose of the reports is to ensure that the project is implemented in a timely manner
according to the scope and budget identified in the project application.
Staff will continue to participate in CTC/Caltrans working groups to further develop and improve
the ATP guidelines and process, and participate in future evaluations of ATP project applications.
The next ATP Call for Projects is expected to commence in early Spring 2018.
Financial Impact
ATP funds are administered through the CTC, Caltrans, and the Federal Highway Administration.
The Commission is not a recipient of these MPO ATP funds; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to
the Commission’s budget.

Agenda Item 10
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: September 25, 2017
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Martha Masters, Management Analyst
Grace Alvarez, Planning and Programming Manager
THROUGH: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
SUBJECT: Revision to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Program Funding Recommendations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve the Revised Fiscal Year 2017/18 SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
program recommended projects as shown in Attachment 1 in the amount of $3,343,187
to include an additional three projects in the cities of Lake Elsinore, La Quinta, and
Temecula;
2) Direct staff to prepare and execute memorandums of understanding (MOU) with the
three additional project sponsors to outline the project schedule and local funding
commitments;
3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements on behalf of the Commission; and
4) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On July 12, 2017, the Commission approved 21 projects totaling $3,599,364 for SB 821 funding
as indicated in Attachment 1. Due to the passage of SB 1, which provides an increase of
$100 million annually to the Active Transportation Program (ATP), the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) decided to augment the ATP Cycle 3 program. On June 30, 2017, the CTC
released the ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation call for projects allowing agencies that applied under
the recently concluded ATP Cycle 3 process the opportunity to apply for ATP Cycle 3
Augmentation funds made available from SB 1. Applications were due to the CTC on August 1,
2017.
Staff was aware that projects submitted under the Commission’s SB 821 call for projects were
also being submitted for the CTC’s ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation call for projects. In most cases,
these ATP project applications represented larger projects, and the SB 821 project applications
represented smaller portions of the ATP applications. Project sponsors strategically submitted
larger projects for the ATP program since the ATP funding had a significant amount of funding
24
Agenda Item 10
available compared to the SB 821 funding. As a result, at the July 12, 2017 Commission meeting
staff recommended to return to the Commission with a revision to the FY 2017/18 SB 821
funding recommendations, if SB 821 funding was freed up from projects approved through the
ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation.
Revised Allocations
On August 31, 2017, the CTC notified agencies of the 2017 ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation
recommendations that will be presented to the CTC at its October 18-19, 2017 meeting for final
adoption. Two projects that were included in the SB 821 funding recommendations are being
recommended for ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation funding:
• County of Riverside – Clark Street Sidewalk project
• City of Riverside – Carmine Street Sidewalk Improvements project
Upon CTC’s approval of ATP Augmentation funds for the above two projects in October, staff
recommends removing these projects from the FY 2017/18 SB 821 allocations. This action
would free up a total of $724,000 SB 821 funds that would be programmed to the following
three next highest scored projects:
Agency Project Title Allocation
Lake Elsinore Palomar Multi-Use Trail $ 245,523
La Quinta Jefferson Street Sidewalk Gap Closure 90,000
Temecula Citywide Buffered Bike-Lane Striping 132,300
Total $ 467,823
The remaining FY 2017/18 SB 821 amount of $256,177 is not sufficient to fully fund the
construction of the next two projects that were tied at a score of 33.67; therefore, based on
prior practice it is recommended the remaining funds be reserved for the FY 2019/20 SB 821
Call for Projects. All project scores are included in Attachment 1.

Per the Commission’s SB 821 adopted policies, jurisdictions receiving an allocation have
24 months to complete approved projects and submit claim forms for reimbursement upon
project completion. MOUs will be required to outline the project schedules, funding plan, and
local agency match commitment. Staff will monitor the progress of the projects to ensure
timely implementation of delivery and expenditures as the intent of the SB 821 program is to
deliver and expend FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19 funds within the timeframe of this cycle.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: September 25, 2017
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Funding for the Riverside Transportation Analysis Model Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve funding a portion of the Riverside Transportation Analysis Model (RIVTAM)
Update in the amount of $200,000 with State Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP) Planning, Programming, and Monitoring (PPM) funds; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2009, the county of Riverside, in partnership with the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the Commission, funded the development of
a countywide travel demand model referred to as RIVTAM. RIVTAM was based on the SCAG
regional model with greater network detail in Riverside County yet remaining consistent with the
SCAG regional model.
RIVTAM has been used by the Commission and local agencies as a tool to evaluate plans,
programs, and projects to forecast and analyze traffic impacts and land use outcomes. RIVTAM
is also specifically used for traffic studies and analyses required for environmental impact reports
under the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Protection Act,
in addition to supporting the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Nexus studies
administered by WRCOG and CVAG. Local agencies also utilize the forecasts provided by RIVTAM
in the development of general plans and specific plans.
RIVTAM is in need of an update to incorporate changes to the network and modeling assumptions
to be a reliable tool for transportation modeling and forecasting. The update will require
consistency with the SCAG Regional Model used for the 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/
Sustainable Communities Strategies. WRCOG has taken the lead in preparing a scope of work
and to be responsible for the development and maintenance of the model given its staffing
29
Agenda Item 11
capabilities. WRCOG committed $500,000 to fund the RIVTAM update and the county of
Riverside, and CVAG have committed $50,000 and $25,000, respectively. The Commission has
been requested to participate in funding the RIVTAM update in the amount of $200,000.
Given the Commission’s reliance on transportation modeling for its Measure A program of
projects and other regional planning and project implementation efforts, staff recommends the
approval of $200,000 over a two-year period (Fiscal Year 2018/19 and FY 2019/20) for
participation in the model update. STIP PPM funds are available to fund the Commission’s cost
share.
