The Riverside County FY 2012/13 -FY 2014/15 SRTPs are comprised of plans that •
cover the county apportionment areas of Western Riverside, Coachella Valley and Palo
Verde Valley. With a slight improvement in the economic outlook this coming fiscal year,
the transit operators are focusing on initiating new enhancements in operating and
capital improvements to meet the growing demand for transit services. This annual .
·update aims to continue evaluating current transit service and performance measures to
keep up with substantial increase in travel demand within the region as well as
improving necessary access and mobility for the large segment of the county's elderly,
disabled and lower-income populations.
Staff is requesting that the SRTPs be approved in concept only, as requests for financial
allocations will be made at the July Commission meeting.

for each area. The apportionment occurs after off-the-top allocations for
administration to the County and Commission and set asides for Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) planning (3/4 of 1 percent), local
planning activities (3 percent), and bicycle and pedestrian projects (2 percent).
Attachment 1 is the FY 2012/13 L TF apportionment based on a revenue estimate
of $61 million. The estimate will be submitted to the County for its concurrence.
The estimate is based on the revised projection for FY 2011/12 and assumes no
change at this time due to continuing economic uncertainty. After the deductions
for administration of $712,000 and set-asides of $3,447,510, the amount available
for apportionment before reserves is $56,840,490. The balance available for
apportionment is as follows:
Apportionment Area
Western Riverside County
Coachella Valley
Palo Verde Valley
Total
Amount
$ 45,182,359
10,976,592
681,539
$ 56,840,490
In accordance with the Reserve Policy adopted by the Commission on
•
January 12, 2005, a reserve of 10 percent for each apportionment area will be •
established and set-aside for FY 2012/13, for unforeseen cost increases or other
emergency. For the Western Riverside County apportionment area, a portion of the
reserve will be allocated to each of the transit operators. For public bus transit
operators, the allocation of the reserve is based on each operator's proportionate
share of FY 2010/11 L TF operating allocations. Operators may access reserve
funds by amending their SRTPs through the established amendment process.
Measure A
The Measure A projection consists of revenues generated from the local half-cent
transactions and use tax approved by the voters in November 2002. These
Measure A funds are principally used to fund highway, regional arterial, local
streets and roads, new corridors, economic development, bond financing, bus
transit, commuter rail, commuter assistance, and specialized transportation projects
in the three geographic areas of Riverside County, as defined in the Measure A
Expenditure Plan. · FY 2012/13 represents the fourth year of the 30-year term of
the 2009 Measure A.
The Measure A projection for FY 2012/13 is $124 million. The estimate is based
on the revised projection for FY 2011/12 and assumes no change at this time due
to continuing economic uncertainty. This projection will become the basis for the •
preparation of the FY 2012/13 budget. The budget process typically commences
