UPDATE
Heather Menninger, RCTC Transit Planning Consultant, gave a presentation on the 2016

Citizens Advisory Committee/

mobility needs of three groups: older adults, people with disabilities, and those with low
income. The Commission added military veterans to the list as they have specific transit
needs. The outcome of the Plan is to determine what can be done to improve the services
offered to these identified groups and prioritize the list. This Plan is multi modal in its focus
with the intention of getting agencies and communities to work together to improve the
services offered.
The Commission is preparing an outreach effort to determine what is and is not working for
the targeted populations. Coordination Plan hearings and workshops will take place
throughout the county. CAC members received a flyer with dates, times, and locations.
CAC members are encouraged to participate in the hearings and share outreach flyers with
their communities. CAC Member Mary Venerable offered to attend the Coordination
Workshop in Lake Elsinore. Heather Menninger stated Spanish translation would be
available at all hearings and workshops.
Robert Yates encouraged all members to attend at least one non-mandatory workshop.
CAC Member Venerable asked if each location received flyers to distribute to the
community. Robert Yates and Heather Menninger stated the flyers have been distributed.
Individual workshop flyers will also be created for each location and will be available online.
CAC Member Linda Samulski expressed concern over pdf files not being accessible to
individuals using screen readers. Heather Menninger stated both word processor and pdf
format documents would be made available to address this issue.
7. RIVERSIDE COUNTY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: ANNUAL COUNTYWIDE PERFORMANCE
REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013/14
Martha Durbin, Management Analyst, presented the Riverside County Transportation
Annual Countywide Performance Report for Fiscal Year 2013/14. The report focuses on
mobility impacts throughout the county. It was presented to the Commission and approved
at its July 8, 2015 meeting.
Martha Durbin explained the report focuses on mobility impacts throughout Riverside
County during the fiscal year and looks at three measurements: farebox recovery ratio,
trips per capita, and resources. Countywide, the farebox recovery ratio was 23.3 percent.
Robert Yates explained the Transportation Development Act mandates a 20 percent farebox
ratio in urbanized areas.

Page 3
Martha Durbin stated the trips per capita rate for FY 2013/14 was 7.3; a two percent
increase from the prior fiscal year. Trips per capita represent the annual trips taken per
county resident. This indicator provides insight into how effectively the transit network
keeps up with a population that grows in number and spreads geographically.
Martha Durbin explained the last measurement reported was resources, which focus on the
types of funding provided to Riverside County transit operators. Approximately
$·61.8 million in state and local funding resources were made available in FY 2013/14 to
support the county's operators. This amount was sufficient to expand service and keep up
with both population growth in Riverside County and the demand by residents for access to
public transit. Generally, the public transit measures reported in the report were positive
and overall represent good news for the Commission and the operators. CAC members
were provided a copy of the report and encouraged to review it along with the Coordinated
Plan.
8. COMMITTEE MEMBER/ STAFF REPORT
Fina Clemente, Transit Manager, informed members the next meeting would take place on
May 26, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. in Beaumont. The exact location is yet to be determined.
9. ADJOURNMENT

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 23, 2016
TO: Citizens Advisory Committee/Social Services Technical Advisory Council
FROM: Josefina Clemente, Transit Manager
THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Years 2016/17 -2018/19 Short Range Transit Plans
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to receive and file the Fiscal Years 2016/17 -2018/19 Short
Range Transit Plans (SRTPs) for the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Corona, and Riverside; Palo
Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA); Riverside Transit Agency (RTA); Sunline Transit Agency
(Sunline); and the Commission's Western Riverside County Rail Program and Coachella Valley
Rail Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Under state law, the Commission is tasked with the responsibility to identify, analyze, and
recommend potential productivity improvements to ensure federal, state, and local funds
allocated to transit operators provide services needed by county residents and are used in an
efficient and effective manner. Through the SRTP planning process, the Commission and transit
agencies analyze current transportation services, identify transit needs of the community, and
determine the ability to meet those needs in a three-year time frame. The Riverside County
(County) FYs 2016/17 -2018/19 SRTPs cover the three apportionment areas of the County and
are comprised of plans for the municipal operators, RTA, Sun line, PVVTA, and the Commission's
Commuter Rail Program in Western County and Coachella Valley.
The SRTPs serve as the County's blueprint for continued operation and future development of
transit services, operations, and infrastructure. The SRTP process also requires the transit
operators to address recommendations made by regular performance audits. The
recommendations that impact service and operations are then included in subsequent SRTP
documents.
To meet the growing demand for transit services, the operators are focusing on implementing
new routes, improving frequency, and refining schedules to develop a stronger intercity and
regional network. Express bus route and Commuterlink route extensions to the Perris Valley
Line (PVL) trains, which operate along the 91 Line, are planned for implementation this fiscal
year. Procurement of needed vehicles is ongoing for both expansion and replacement of aging
buses. To ensure service quality and reliability, other capital facilities such as transit centers,
bus shelters, additional slow fill stations, and compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling dispensers
Agenda Item
are planned for construction and installation. A sizable portion of each agency's capital plan
also includes safety and security equipment such as video surveillance upgrades at Commission-
owned stations, security lighting, upgraded camera system, enhanced illuminated bus stop
devices, and automated external defibrillators safety response equipment, which help ensure
safety of the region's transportation system. In addition, necessary access and mobility
improvements are also being implemented to better serve the County's lower-income, elderly,
and disabled populations.
While the SRTPs include projected financial needs, the actual allocation of funds will occur via
the public hearing to be conducted at the July Commission meeting.
City of Banning
The city of Banning (Banning) works closely with the city of Beaumont (Beaumont) to provide a
seamless transit system for the residents of Banning, Beaumont, and the unincorporated areas
of Cabazon, Cherry Valley, and the commercial area of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians
reservation. Planned services for FY 2016/17 include:
• Analyze and adjust times, as necessary, for Routes 1 and 6 to meet demand presented
by the ridership growth at the Mt. San Jacinto Pass Campus;
• Purchase and implement the use of a software system to improve Dial-A-Ride
scheduling and dispatching;
• Install auto display and enunciator equipment for fixed route fleet and purchase
equipment for a camera system to enable wireless download of footage from vehicles;
and
• Develop an advertisement program in conjunction with the Banning Chamber of
Commerce to increase revenue.
City of Beaumont
Beaumont Transit provides both Dial-A-Ride and fixed route services and works closely with
Banning to provide a seamless transit system in the Pass Area. Planned services for FY 2016/17
include:
• Increase service by providing an additional bus on Commuter Route 120 for the regional
connection to San Bernardino County;
• Implement Calimesa Route 136 to provide transit service to City Hall, shopping centers,
and connection to Route 120;
• Eliminate Sunday service on Route 3/4 and evaluate current Saturday service to increase
productivity;
• Implement new Express Route 702, which will provide service to Casino Morongo with
minimal stops in Banning; and

Commission's Rail Program
Western County Commuter Rail
The Southern California Regional Rail Authority operates seven commuter rail lines with
52 locomotives and 150 commuter rail cars. Three routes -the Riverside Line to Los Angeles,
the Inland Empire to Orange County Line, and the 91/PVL Line from Perris to Los Angeles via
Fullerton Line -directly serve Western County with connecting service available to destinations
on the other four Metrolink lines. Planned services for FY 2016/17 include:
• Complete construction of the PVL extension;
• Implement positive train control and start up operations for the PVL segment of the
91 Line extension, all of which will result in major cost increases; and
• Anticipate no fare increase for FY 2016/17.
Coachella Valley -San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service
The proposed 200-mile long rail corridor service in Coachella Valley will run from Los Angeles to
Indio through the four Southern California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and
San Bernardino to provide a convenient scheduled link to the communities in the fast-growing
Coachella Valley and Banning Pass areas. The Commission will lead the planning efforts for the
service development plan of the corridor service in coordination with the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments. Financial support will come primarily from state and federal grant
funds that are deposited and maintained in the Coachella Valley rail fund. Planning efforts for
FY 2016/17 include:
• Prepare the environmental documentation for the project;
• Develop a final service development plan; and
• Continue to keep the public engaged by encouraging feedback about service routes,
stations, ridership, and other elements through the project website and social media.
