WELCOME REMARKS BY HEMET MAYOR LYLE ALBERG. On behalf of the Hemet City Council, Mayor Alberg welcomed the Commission to Hemet. Meeting in Hemet will provide the Commissioners the opportunity for a first hand look at the needs of the area. They are looking to the Commission to again come forward with a program that will meet the changing needs of the County which currently undergoing great change. He noted that a shift in the population demographics has occurred and that there are more people using the road system. In addition to the population change, the Eastside Reservoir will have a large impact on the road system leading to the valley. 4. PUBLIC COMMENTS A. Garry A. Grant, 27068 Jarva Street, Perris, presented testimony in opposition of extension of Measure "A". B. Chairman van Haaster called the Commissioners attention to a Press Release that had been distributed that Moody's has announced an upgrade on RCTC's bonds from Al to AA3; junior bonds have been upgraded from A2 to Al . Last quarter, he, Eric Haley and Dean Martin made a trip to New York and made a presentation on RCTC's financials and new structure. This plays well into the next possible measure because it shows the confidence in the investment community in RCTC's ability to handle its funds. He then commended Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer, for job well done. 5 APPROVAL OF MINUTES - April 14, 1999 and April 26, 1999 M/SIC- (Buster/Silva) approve the minutes of the April 14, 1999, and April 26, 1999, meetings as submitted.

RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 5 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8A. AMENDMENT TO FY 1998-99 SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN FOR RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY AND SECTION 5307 PROGRAM OF PROJECTS AMENDMENT - RIVERSIDE/SAN BERNARDINO U2A Jerry Rivera, Program Manager, informed the Commission that at their February 25, 1999 meeting, the RTA Board took action to amend their Short Range Transit Plan and capital budget to include the addition of nine full size coaches and nineteen paratransit vehicles, with an estimated total cost of $4.175 million. There are sufficient federal funding and local match to permit RTA to include the replacement of these units in their SRTP and Federal Program of Projects. The Federal Transit Administration requires that a public hearing be held to receive any comments on the proposed program projects. When this item was reviewed by the Plans and Programs Committee, they discussed the Commission's and RTA's policy relating to new purchase and whether the vehicles should be alternative fueled vehicles. He noted that in January 1993, the Commission took a position to encourage transit operators to purchase clean fuel vehicles for vehicles with less than 40 seats. The Committee, when they reviewed this item, recommended that the Commission adopt a policy mandating purchase of all replacement and/or new vehicles be made with alternative fueled vehicles. Eric Haley, Executive Director, stated that he discussed this item with Susan Hafner, RTA General Manager, and she informed him that of the last three or four acquisitions, RTA has secured 33 CNG buses. 100% of the acquisition of the full size buses has been alternative fuel-. RTA intends to adhere to that policy, but expect continued fiscal support from RCTC and others. There is difficulty in the paratransit vehicles, in that their life is about one half of the useful life of the full sized vehicles. He felt that the RTA policy was consistent with the Commission's intent. Commissioner Bob Buster stated that it is apparent that RTA cowers a much broader geographic area than the SunLine Transit Agency so refueling facilities become a major factor in conversion to alternative fuel vehicles and so there must be a plan as well as a unified approach for refueling stations, not only for the bus services, but for public fleets, where possible, and for large and small vehicles. Commissioner John Hunt said that as a member of the RTA Board and RTA utilizes the cleanest fuel available when purchasing vehicles when funds are available, Otherwise, the operations focus on providing service in the most efficient way possible as to minimize the overall emission of the existing vehicles. Additionally, RTA has exclusively purchased CNG 40 foot buses and has a fleet of 33 CNG buses and trolleys. All large buses in upcoming budgets and plans are considered to be CNG fuel. He then informed the Commission of the satellite facility being built located at Lincoln and 2' Street in Banning, which will improve refueling of RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 6 vehicles. Commissioner Mullen asked if there is any way to appropriately tighten the policy as there is a tremendous amount of latitute when an operator looks at the amount of funds available and purchasing small vehicles in lieu of a large bus. There may be only enough funding for five buses when RTA wants 10 buses, and will they go to non -clean fuel buses. Susan Hafner noted that the main limitation that RTA has when it comes to acquiring CNG minibuses or dial -a -ride vehicles, is the fueling infrastructure. RTA only has one facility located atThird Street and Chicago Avenue in Riverside. There are fueling limitations with CNG buses which would prohibit them from serving the entire 2500 sq mi of service area from one location. The RTA Board is currently working on a satellite facility program which would have multiple smaller satellites which would have the fueling infrastructure. They are working on an acquisition in the Hemet area and are working cooperatively with the City and County to establish that CNG fueling infrastructure. Currently they do not have the fueling infrastructure to fuel all of the dial -a -ride vehicles that they currently have that serve the outlining areas. Commissioners Percy Byrd asked about the time frame for the proposal to be in place, and Susan Hafner said that the time line for having a CNG infrastructure is probably about 1 % years outside the acquisition (1 %2 years after the end of this summer). Commissioner Jan Leja stated that it was important to note that SunLine has a different situation as the cities that the provide service for are closer together whereas RTA has an expansive area and it takes time, additional planning and acquisitions. She is not aware of any cities in Western Riverside County purposely staying away from fuel efficient, clean fuels. However, the fueling stations must be put in place first. Commissioner Buster suggested that RCTC work on a refueling station plan; a plan with coordination between public agencies as well as private agencies. This item should be presented to the Commission's. Plans and Programs Committee. Eric Haley indicated noted that Commissioner Will Kleindienst sits on the Mobile Source Review Committee. RTA will be encouraged to participate in the process to obtain Mobile Source Review Committee grants. Those grants include fueling infrastructure; one avenue to provide RTA assistance. He will be happy to work with WRCOG, and CVAG to develop a CNG fueling network. Commissioner Dick Kelly asked, if RTA has 60 paratransit buses, is there a possibility to purchase alternate fuel vehicles in the area where they do have fueling stations and use the vehicles that are currently not equipped that are not being RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 7 replaced in the outlining areas. Susan Hafner noted that, currently, it would be a problem because the City of Riverside operates their own dial -a -ride system. Aal of the dial -a -rides are utilized and provided in the outlining areas. The focus of RTA's dial -a -ride efforts are in the Hemet and San Jacinto area. They are working very hard to acquire a.facility, in this area so in the future, they will be able to serve the area with CNG. Commissioner Kelly stated that the Commission established its policy in 1993 and we may be remissed in not revising that policy since that time or at least establish a different policy. There will always be100 reasons for not being able to go to alternate fuel. This problem is here today because we were not doing what we were suppose to be doing 2-3 years ago. Until there is a firm policy in place, the Commission will be faced to make these decisions in the future. Before the •Commission approves not purchasing alternate fuel vehicles, there ought be a firm policy established. Commissioner Leja added and Commissioner Mullen agreed that there needs to be a transition date. Commissioner Mullen suggested to continue this item and direct staff to come back with a policy regarding alternate fuel vehicles in Riverside County as without a firm policy, there will always be excuses not to get there. Commissioner Robin Reeser Lowe iterated that the San Jacinto Valley is experiencing a shortage of acceptable levels of dial -a -ride service. It is impacted with the number of seniors and handicapped people residing in the valley. The ADA has dramatically cut into the effectiveness of their local dial -a -ride program. She is a proponent of alternate fuel, however, to have 1 %2 year delay on delivery of CNG vehicles is not acceptable. She encouraged the Commission to move forward with this, allow RTA to buy the vehicles, have the Plans and Programs Committee look at a plan or perhaps a task force to come forward with a policy. Commissioner John Tavaglione agreed that in the smaller cities in the Western Riverside County, there is a great demand for a short and long-term strategic plan for alternate fuel vehicles which is currently not in place. It is dependant on this Commission, with RTA, to setup a task force as Commissioner Buster proposed to come up with a strategic plan so that the Commission knows which facilities to move towards for the public sector as well as for the private sector. Commissioner Chris Silva asked about the time frame and Eric Haley indicated that the proposal will be referred to the Commission in sixty days. The Chair opened the public hearing. There being no public comments, the public hearing was closed. RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 8 M/S/C (Mullen/Hall) to: 1) approve the amended Program of Projects as proposed, and 2) amend Riverside Transit Agency's FY 1999 Short Range Transit Plan to reflect these changes, and 3) direct staff, in coordination with public and private sectors, develop an alternative fuel strategic plan for presentation to the Plans and Programs Committee and to the Commission in 60 days. 8B. DRAFT FY 1999/2000 BUDGET Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer, provided an summary of the proposed budget was for Fiscal Year 1999-2000. The total budget expenditures are $103 million. Measure "A" revenues makeup 75% of the Commission revenue. Chairman van Haaster opened the public hearing. There being no no input from the public, the Chair declared that to continue the public hearing to the next month's meeting. M/S/C (KELLY/WILSON) to continue the public hearing on the Commission's draft FY 1999/200 Budget to the June meeting. 9. PROPOSED METROLINK BUDGETS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999/00 Susan Cornelison, Program Manager, stated that RCTC is one of the five member agencies that compose the agency known as the Southern California Regional Rail Authority or Metrolink. The budget must be approved by all five county agencies. In effect, this is a reauthorization of the member agencies for. Metrolink to continue to operate. The full budget totalling $172 million is included in the agenda packet. Funding sources are varied. RCTC's contribution this year over last year is 2.8% 'greater. The recommendation is to approve the preliminary estimated Metrolink budget and to .authorize RCTC's payment to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority in an amount not to exceed $3.3 million over the next fiscal year. She then informed the Commission that last Friday, Metrolink administration received information that Ventura and Orange Countias wanted to defer maintenance on some of their right-of-way over which Metrolink traffic passes. Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC).not only wants to defer their maintenance and therefore reduce some of the maintenance costs reflected in the budget, but desired to increase the level of service and expand their operating territory. Commissioner Will Kleindienst (one of RCTC representative to SCRRA) expressed concerned that any reduction of the right-of-way would result in a lower class of service than what Metrolink is generally able to provide. There are very high standards within the five county region, proud of the quality of our infrastructure and how that provides for safe and smooth operating trains. Metrolink staff and engineering would not allow deferred maintenance to compromise safety, but in order for that not to occur we would have to probably issue "slow orders" and other things that could reduce the quality of service. Consequently the recommendation is that RCTC's adoption and approval of the Metrolink budget is contingent upon no county deferring maintenance to the point that the Metrolink high RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 9 standards or quality of service be affected. Even though the impact is not in Riverside County, it is a reflection of the system. In response to Commissioner Buster whether controls are in place as a result of the internal audit that Metrolink had .undergone, Susan Cornelison said that Metrolink has provided assurance and they are in the process of redefining their role. Commissioner Ron Roberts asked if other counties were taking the same stance and if they were aware of the issue, and Susan Cornelison stated that the David Solow, Metrolink Executive Director, was given a copy and is aware. It is not generally the practice to interfere in the budgetary controls of its sister agencies. It was never brought up during the 7'/s months it took to develop the budget, that Ventura would reduce part of the maintenance level in order to increase frequency of service. An additional challenge is that the current Chair of Metrolink is the VCTC representative. Commissioner Alex Clifford indicated that he felt very strongly about the issues of maintenance but it will be helpful for the Commission to understand at the extreme what this language will mean. It seems to say that RCTC's funding of its share of the system is contingent upon these issues identified. Metrolink has yet to have a discussion about some type of standard in order to participate in the system. If a policy was developed wherein the Board ultimately approved Ventura to do what they desire in their county, would it mean that RCTC not pay its share and shut down Riverside County service. Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director, stated that the language as written is intended for the RCTC representatives to SCRRA to have approval of the budget if they have the comfort level that any deferral of maintenance wilE not cause a major problem. If they do not -have that comfort level, they could vote against the adoption of the budget. The intend was so that the budget could move on if RCTC representatives have that comfort level and they do not need to come back to the Commission. If in negotiations at SCRRA, the RCTC representative did not have that comfort level, then it should be brought back to the Commission. Commissioner Clifford stated that is what was needed, but collectively the representatives to the Metrolink Board believe very firmly •that there needs to be a policy regarding the minimal level of service. It may take a year or two to develop a policy. Commissioner Mullen stated that RCTC should not be part of an organization that puts people's lives in jeopardy. Commissioner Clifford clarified that as it relates to safety, Metrolink will not allow any county to degrade their level of funding on maintenance to the extent that it jeopardizes safety. What this is, is the next increment of maintenance -of -way that then impacts the ability to provide the number of trains that is needed and to provide those trains on time, as scheduled. When you start running into issues of maintenance -of -way, and it begins having problems or cannot provide on -time service, even if it only occurs in Ventura or RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 10 Orange County, it is a reflection of the system as a whole. Your representatives believe that they ought to force all of the counties to provide that next increment of maintenance consistently year in and year out because what .they do in their county does reflect upon on us. Commissioner Tom Mullen concurred and did not believe that what Ventura or Orange were proposing would rise to the level of a real safety concern, but it is that incremental thing, and he didn't think that should be allowed. M/S/C (Mullen/Venable) approve the preliminary 1999/00 Metrolink combined budgets and authorize RCTC's annual allocation to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority in FY1999/00 ,for an amount not to exceed $3.3 million, provided that: 1) Maintenance -of -way will not be deferred in any county to the extent that Metrolink's high standards of safety and quality performance will be effected; and, 2) No county which seeks to defer the proposed maintenance -of -way shall instead extend operating territory or increase levels of service. 10. RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY'S FINANCIAL POLICIES Jerry Rivera stated that in January the RTA Board passed the Financial Policies for the agency. Normally the Commission would not get involved in establishing any operating policies for transit operators. However, this particular policy would set precedence by using reserves for the general fund and for their capital improvement fund. Originally, RTA proposed to set aside 33.3% of their operating budget for the general fund and $5 million for their capital fund. The RTA Finance Committee and representatives from the Commission met to discuss their proposed policy. Because of major concerns whether this was allowed- by RTA, and whether it would be financially responsible to set aside funds for reserves while cutting back services in some areas or not providing a service in some areas. It was agreed that RTA would be allowed to maintain a reserve of 20% of the operating funds. Based on their current budget, it would be approximately $4 million. The capital reserve fund would be set at $800 thousand, and that would allow RTA to have funds regularly available for any unforseen capital expenditures cr lack of immediate funding. M/S/C (Pettis/Buster) adopt the Riverside Transit Agency Financial Policies. 11. AMENDMENT TO FY 1998-99 SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN FOR RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY Jerry Rivera said that this item amends RTA's current operating plan to establish new • services that were included in RTA's Comprehensive Operational Analysis. Their approved plan had set aside $778,000 towards service demonstration programs. After analysis of their Comprehensive Operational Analysis, they have decided to increase services on various routes adding almost 4000 hours, increasing vehicle service miles by over 42,000 and adding an additional route in the southern quarter for the Welfare to Work project. The RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 11 estimated cost on the increase of services is $361,000. RTA has been awarded two discretionary grants in the current fiscal year which will require some additional local . matching funds. M/SIC (ReeserLowe/Hunt) to: 1) Approve the amendment to the FY 1999 Riverside Transit Agency Short Range Transit Plan to reflect service changes totaling 7,801 revenue vehicle hours and 165,250 revenue miles; 2) Authorize the transfer of $8,000 from RTA's current LTF reserves as local match for the Section 5313(b) Mountain Communities planning study; and, 3) Authorize the transfer of $12,000 from RTA's current LTF reserves as local match toward the Mountain Communities Section 5311(f) Intercity Bus Program demonstration project for the purchase of one additional paratransit vehicle. 12. STATUS OF STRATEGIC PLAN Sean Boyea, Boyea Capital Markets, presented a brief overview of the progress in compiling the Strategic Plan. The update of the Strategic Plan is divided into two phases: 1) Phase One is an update to the existing plan; and, 2) Phase Two is a broader county- wide transportation solutions beyond Measure "A". Phase One is divided into several different components such as funding. There will be an update on funding sources, the magnitude of funding, timing, and the eligible uses of federal, state and local funding. There will also be a project status update, as well as, proposed projects. The cash flow model will further enhance the Commission's ability to plan programs and fund projects. 13. 1998 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM CONFORMITY SUSPENSION Shirley Medina, Staff Analyst, stated that this issue was presented directly to the Commission because it arose just prior to the agenda mailing. The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) contain transportation improvement projects were approved on June 8, 1998 and July 31, 1998 respectively. These documents are required to be prepared by the metropolitan planing organization, SCAG, in conjunction with the regional transportation agency within the SCAG region. The RTP is required to be updated every 3 years and the RTIP is updated soon after. The federal government requires all plans and programs be in conformance with the state implementation plans, also known as STIP. There are three tests required to receive funding: 1) emissions test; 2) timely implementation transportation control measures (TCM's); 3) financial constraints. On March 2, 1999, the Unites States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision in the case of the Environmental Defense Fund v. the Environmental Protection Agency. One of the provisions that .was struck down was use of the PM 10 emissions budget for the conformity determinations made by SCAG for the 1998 RTP and RTIP. SCAG conducted the modeling analysis over the past few weeks and released the analysis for a 30-day public comment period as of May 7, 1999. Hopefully after the public comment period RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 12 there will no unforseen issues or problems and FHWA and EPA can go ahead and update the conformity status. In the meantime, under conformity suspension, the FHWA cannot approve projects that are capacity enhancements. Shirley Medina then reviewed the list of projects affected by the ruling. In response to Corky.Larson's, Executive Director of CVAG, question regarding projects on the list in her area, Shirley Medina indicated that there did not appear to be any CVAG projects on the schedule within the time -frame. The Commissioners looked to RCTC's representatives on SCAG to monitor the status on this issue. 14. PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER Chairman van Haaster informed the Commission that the Executive Committee reviewed this item and recommended that the Public Information Officer position be an at -will position for two years. In addition, it was recommended that an executive search agency be hired to search for the best qualified candidates for this position. The Commission determined to authorize the Executive Director to hire a recruitment firm for this position. 15. PRESENTATION 15A. GAS PRICE INCREASE AND ITS BENEFITS David --Shepherd, RCTC/SanBAG Director of Legislative Affairs, informed the Commission that the California Energy Commission puts out monthly reports on the national and state average. Nationally the cost per gallon for gasoline is at $1.23, and $1 .53 statewide. Last year there was decline of gas price due to a large supply situation. OPEC then reduced the total supply of gas that they offered by about 30%. These led to the gas price increase. In addition, in California, there were refinery fires which impacted the price. The price has gone up because the supply and demand scale is tipped right now in the favor of the suppliers. Assemblyman Jim Battin has recommended that California Air Resources Board put forth 120 day suspension on the requirement for cleaner fuel which will result in a cheaper cost to the producer and, therefore, result in a reduction in the price of gas. However, there is not support in Sacramento or statewide. Governor Gray Davis has stated that this is an indication that we need to find alternative fuel sources that are cleaner and more readily available to be produced at a lower cost. FTC is reviewing a proposed merger between Exxon, Mobile, BP (which is Amco & Arco) and the supply issue and the OPEC decision. Senator Barbara Boxer has made the request to the FTC to require that as part of the condition of that merger that they reserve a reasonable supply for the independent owners. There has not been a lot said our of the Attorney General's Office, but he is looking into the issue and is RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 13 working with the FTC on the merger reviews and those issues. Unwillingly, there is an effect on entities like ourselves and the State because of the additional sales tax dollars on the gas tax. 15B. ANNUAL INLAND EMPIRE ECONOMIC SURVEY Barbara Sirotnik, Inland Empire Research Consortium, stated that a press conference was held last week on the survey. This effort is a partnership between Max Neiman at UC Riverside and the Institute of Applied Research at Cal State San Bernardino. One of the major findings is that there were not that many differences between the two counties. The survey objectives are to look at a variety of issues, issues about private/public sectors, services/activities, crime, pollution, immigration, etc. About 2,000 people were surveyed. Most of the Inland Empire residents consider their County: 1) as a good place to live; and, 2) is strong economically and their family finances have either improved or stayed the same as last year. Most of the respondents spend less than 1 hour commuting to and from work each day and most commute to work within their own county. However, respondents are least satisfied with the upkeep of streets and roads. She noted that Inland Empire respondents are confident that their elected officials adopt policies which benefit their community. Shel Bockman, Inland Empire Research Consortium, continued the presentation and said that with the findings came some policy recommendations in order to improve the quality of life in the Inland Empire: 1) policy makers must work on reducing the crime factor in the area; 2) improve the quality of entertainment and cultural activities; 3) transportation is an intra-regional problem and they believe that it will get worse over time unless some consideration is given to this problem; 4) maintenance of local roads; and, 4) improve air quality. Some policy makers believe that increased regulatory laws may hamper economic development in the area, but in the contrary, better air quality control can be used as a means of bringing more firms into the area. In our findings, the two county area should be treated as a region, not as separate entities. Chairman van Haaster stated that there may be pockets that do not quite fit into this model. In the southwest county, there was a similar statistical survey relating to the question of commute time and whether they would be willing to take a lesser amount of pay, which contradicts these findings. There may be pockets throughout the two counties where there are not only differences, but extreme differences. Shel Bockman indicated that was an excellent point. In San Bernardino County, their charge has been to break the survey down into four different regions of interest to SanBAG. He suggested that RCTC consider having a breakdown by regions within the Riverside County for next year which could be done by zip code. RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 14 15C. SCA 3 (BURTON) AMENDMENT Eric Haley informed the Commission that there is a memorandum included in the packet dated May 11, 1999, asking all the entities in the State to support this proposal and to meet with Senator John Burton next week. He then reviewed the constitutional amendment proposal. Gas tax is favored by 13%, bonds 17%, and the extension of local sales tax 62%. The statewide approach on sales taxes was looked at in six regions in the state, no region was under 50% support. He noted that we could be in the position of fine tuning a new work program ,moving it out to the cities and counties for ratification and actually getting engaged in refinancing and extending our measure as early as within 24 months. This is an acceleration of the process of reauthorizing our measure. The only current transportation funding programs in the State of California that enjoys substantial support are the self-help counties and the existing sales taxes. This is a state sales tax effort, locally collected, locally controlled, locally planned and programed and the constitutional amendment will guarantee all of the local facets of it, but it is as every other sales tax has been on the state ballot, it is a 50% issue. This does not affect 2/3 threshold for Propositions 218 or 13 at all. MIS/C (Mullen/Venable) support amending SCA 3 (Burton) to allow a statewide ballot measure for a statewide transportation sales tax collected locally and authorize the Executive Director to attend meetings with the coalition to move this process forward. 15D. STATE INFRASTRUCTURE LOAN Eric Haley stated that this was an initiative by the Senate Republican Caucus that fits with the bill that RCTC is.sponsoring, which is the State Highway Account, AB 1012. Senator James Brulte is proposing to create an infrastructure bank which would allow agencies to have access to funds with little or no interest and essentially borrow from ourselves and eliminates the transaction cost that goes with the bonds, as well as the interest, which is a beginning of a real infrastructure bank proposal and to think in tandem with reauthorizing the sales taxes, this kind of model is where we should be going. Commissioner Bob Buster asked if this proposal was better than the State Gas Tax Loan bill that the Commission was endorsing, and Eric Haley said that it was not as there is a much larger amount of money available with the Highway Account Loan Program. But in the long run, Senator Brulte's proposal creates a revolving fund in an infrastructure bank which will go long beyond the period of time that the State Highway Account balance is artificially high. This is a two fold process. M/S/C (Leja/Wilson) support the Senate Republican proposal to provide for infrastructure loans. RCTC Minutes May 12, 1999 Page 15 16. ITEMS PULLED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR 763. STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE I n response to Commissioner Bob Buster's question on AB 1012, David Shepherd, RCTC/SanBAG Director of Legislative. Affairs, explained that the bill is moving forward. It has passed the Assembly Transportation Committee 18-0. It went through very quickly. A large number of people came up to support the bill, including Eric Haley and myself testified in favor of the bill. It is in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. No hearing date has been set, there are some issues related to the loan bill for the State Department of Finance because the interest is helping the general fund. Commissioner Buster requested a monthly update on this matter. M/S/C (Buster/Mullen) to support AB 1425, SB 481 with Amendments, SB 1043, and Seek Amendments AB 1571, and receive and file the State and Federal Legislative Update. 17.

R VPUB\PBC\507767 000014 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 2, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget & Implementation Committee Cathy Bechtel, Program Manager THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: SB 821 Program Extension Requests from the Cities of Banning, Cathedral City, Corona, Moreno Valley, Palm Springs, Riverside and the County of Riverside In August 1998, the Commission approved the allocation of $676,757 in SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities funding for the completion of 21 projects by 14 local agencies. When the funds were approved, the recipients were informed that it is Commission policy that if project funds are not claimed prior to the end of the fiscal year, the project will be deleted from the program and funds will revert back for reprogramming in the next year. Funds can be claimed once the agency awards a contract for completion of the project or local agency staff has begun construction. Commission policy allows for extension of time beyond the June 30t deadline if substantial progress has been made on the project. A letter was mailed to the local recipient agencies on April 26, 1999 reminding them of their need to claim funds under this project. We have received the following requests for time extensions. City of Banning The City of Banning was allocated $10,431 for the Nicolet Street Sidewalk project:' Due to staff turnover, the project has been delayed. The City is requesting a six month extension to December 31, 1999 to complete the project. City of Cathedral City The City of Cathedral City was allocated $7,000 for the design and engineering of a pedestrian bridge in the downtown area. This work is ongoing but is not expected to be complete until after June 30, 1999. Therefore, the City is requesting a 9-month extension to March 31, 2000. 000015 City of Corona The City of Corona was allocated $52,000 for construction of the South Corona Bikeway Project. To date, plans and specifications have been completed and a notice inviting bids for construction has been released. Bids are due in on June 2 and contract award is anticipated in late. June or early July.- Just in case there is a delay, the City is requesting a six month extension to December 31, 1999. City of Moreno Valley Moreno Valley was allocated $26,500 for sidewalk improvements on Sunnymead Boulevard and Heacock Avenue as well as accessibility enhancements on Village Road and Alessandro Boulevard. Plans and specifications have been completed for all three locations and the City is currently preparing to advertise for the construction contract. Contract award is anticipated by late August, so the City is requesting a three-month extension to September 30, 1999. City of Palm Springs The City of Palm Springs was allocated $46,437 for pedestrian safety improvements in nine locations around the City. The plans and specifications for the project are complete and the project will go out for bid later this month with award expected in June or July. The City is requesting a three-month extension to September 30, 1999 for this project. City of Riverside The City of Riverside was allocated a total of $98,950 for the completion of pedestrian improvements on Arlington Avenue, California Avenue, and Sierra Vista Street. Requests for bids to complete the construction are currently being advertised and contract award is expected in June. Just in case the contract award is delayed, the City is requesting a four -month time extension to October 31, 1999. County of Riverside The County was allocated $31,000 for pedestrian improvements along Mayberry Avenue in the Hemet area. Preliminary design and revised cost estimates have been completed. Work is currently underway to relocate or remove several trees, fences and mailboxes which currently encroach on the needed right-of-way. However, it is unlikely that the construction contract will be awarded until Spring of 2000, so the County is requesting a time extension to June 30, 2000. 000016 An additional S48,000 was allocated to the County for sidewalk improvements along Fred Waring Drive in the Indio area. This project is a joint effort with the City of Indio. The project is currently being advertised for construction and award may be made in June. However, there is a possibility of delay in completing some right-of- way acquisition, so the County is requesting a three month extension to September 30, 1999.

O00017 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 2, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget & Implementation Committee David W. Shepherd, Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: • State and Federal Legislative Update State Update As Delaney Hunter and D.J. Smith's monthly report (attached) states, committees have been meeting regularly and legislative proposals are rapidly moving or dying as the deadline for bills to leave policy committees (April 23`d) passed and as the budget deadline approaches. The Governor's "May Revise" to the fiscal year 1999/2000 State Budget released May 15; after the wring of this report. Early indications are the Legislature and the Governor will have $3 to $4 billion surplus. Options for financing future transportation needs are under consideration and certainly will be part of the budget negotiations. Staff has analyzed and recommends the following bill positions: AB 74 (Virginia Strom -Martin, D. - Eureka) - State Rail Freight Study. Staff recommends: Change from OPPOSE to WATCH. The staff analysis is attached. AB 923 (Robert Hertzberg, D - Sherman Oaks) - Increases fines for rail right-of-way violations. Staff recommends: SUPPORT. The staff analysis is attached. AB 1475 (Nell Soto, D - Pomona) - Designates certain federal funding to school safety programs. Staff recommends: OPPOSE. The staff analysis is attached. AB 1612 (Dean Florez, D - Shafter) - Allocates $300 million in State Highway Account Funds to local street repair. Staff recommends: OPPOSE. The staff analysis is attached. SB 1277 (Tom Hayden, D - Los Angeles) - Prohibits road construction on lands under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Fish and Game and state conservancies. Staff recommends: OPPOSE. The staff analysis is attached. 00001t3 Federal Update Activities in Washington, D.C. are largely consumed with the appropriations process and Kosovo. Nevertheless, Senator Kit Bond ° - MO) had indicated a desire to give the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grandfathering powers the courts have recently ruled it cannot assume on its own. The grandfathering device was invented by the EPA as an administrative work -around for projects that otherwise, under the terms of the Clean Air Act, could not .receive funding for a subsequent state of planning or constructiononce a "conformity lapse" occurred. The court ruling threatens an undetermined number of projects nationwide. It not only blocks federally - funded projects from advancing from one state to another, but prevents local metropolitan planning organizations from approving significant non-federal projects until an area's transportation plan is back in conformity with the state's clean air plan. This is critical for California and particularly the South Coast Air Basin as several projects in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are under threat of being frozen. Summary With the policy deadline passed and the budget deadline approaching, the State Legislature begins to turn its attention to fiscal matters which include options for financing future transportation needs. In Washington, D.C. appropriations discussions continue and grandfathering of projects by the EPA may be restored.

J. Smith and Delaney Bunter - Date: May 12. 1999 Sukject: Legislative Report and Update Transportation Finance Proposals Senator Burton's transportation package continues to move forward --- . Senate Bill 315 passed out of the Senate on May 10`' on a 32-8 vote. Senator Burton pledged to send SB 315 to conference committee to be considered as part of an overall transportation funding proposal. • Senate Constitutional Amendment 3 will be heard in the Senate Transportation Committee on May le'. • • The California Transportation Commissntln submitted their needs assessment as required by Senate Resolution 8, on May 10. The CTC estimates California's need at about S116 billion (sec attached article from the Sacramento Bee). Senator Burton's Working Group continues to meet on transportation infrastructure issues. The next meeting will be on Wednesday May 19 and is likely to focus on the needs assessment reported by the CTC (see above) and the Department of Transportation. Assembly Bill 521 (McClintock) was not heard before the policy committee deadline and is effectively dead for this year. However, there are eismissions around the Capitol that florae part of the McClintock plan may be used to help with the crisis in transportation funding we are currently facing. Senate Constitutional Amendment 9 (Peace and McPherson), the California Business Roundtable proposal, will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on May 17. The second part of the rrilifornia Business Roundtable's proposal, Assembly Bill 1473 (Hertzberg), passed out of the Assembly Consumer Protection Committee on a 6 to 0 vote on April 66. AB 1473 heads next to the Assembly Appropriations Committee and will be heard on May 19. O00027 Assemblyman John Longville's bills on transportation financing continue to move. Assembly Bill 276 was amended on May 10 in Assembly Transportation Committee and now appropriates a one- time amount of S60 million to public transit. Assembly Bill 477, which would revise the state's method for taxing the distribution of gas from the current rate of 18 cents per gallon to instead become 15 percent of the retail price per gallon of gasoline, is now a two year bill. Assemblyman Longville will use that time to work on refinements with the Board of Equalization to allow for the best collection method for the tax. AB 283 (Lont'ville) — County Resolution of Necessity Bill Assembly Bill 283 introduced by 'Assemblyman John Longville, on behalf of SANBAG, will allow Caltrans CO use the County's condemnation process and resolution of necessity. AB 283 will speed up the process and help with project delivery. We arc exploring the idea of amending the bill to include an urgency clause, which will make the change in law effective immediately upon signature by Governor Davis. AB 283 passed out of the Assembly Transportation Committee on a vote of I7-0 and is scheduled to be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on May 12. AB 1012 -- Project Delivery Streamlining Bill Assembly Bill .1012, which will streamline transportation project delivery and set up a process to allow short term "loans" (originally an RCTC idea), is scheduled to be heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on May 19. We continue to work with all parties, including the Department of Transportation, to come to agreement on language. Governor Davis' Commission on the 21' Century The Governor's Commission has set up special subcommittees — Technology Issues, Facilities Issues, Transportation Issues and Resources Issues — to heal with all those issues facing California in the coming years. The Transportation Issues -Subcommittee held its first meeting on April le. The meeting opened with general introductions and featured reports from several state agencies. The Department of Finance gave a demographics projection. The bottom line was that there will be many more people in our state and an even greater need for highways and transit. Tony Harris of the Department of Transportation followed reinforced the increasing travel demands of the state and gave a great report on the need to extend local sales taxes. The next Subcommittee meeting is scheduled for June 1. Transportation Poll The results are in from the statewide poll on transportation issues. The overriding results are: • There is great support for the extension of local sales taxes for transportation. • Increasing taxes on gasoline is not supported, most likely due to the recent spike in gas prices statewide. 000028 2 There is support for bonds for transportation, most likely in the $4 to S billion range. While transportation issues are on the state "radar screen" education still dominates the list of voter concerns. 3 �0 002 t Sacramento Kings guard Jason Williams boogies on the sidelines as the Kings regain Be* photograph/no* Pooch the lead after halftime in Monday night's sec- ond playoff game against the Utah Jazz. .y e announcement, w lc the state news programs, was widely understood here as a ges- ture intended to accelerate nego- tiations on a peaceful settlement on Kosovo that would bring an end to NATO's widespread bomb- ing of Yugoslavia.

Capps and Jon Matthews Bee Capitol Bureau A new state survey sets the price tag for patching up Califurnla'e outdated transportation network — and expanding it to meet future needs — at a whopping $116.5 billion over the next 10 years. The report from the California Trans- portation Commission tells the slate's commuters what most already know: There are a lot more drivers on the road, and they're driving a lot more miles. Over the last three decades, Califor- nia's population Ilan grown twice as quickly as the capacity of ita highways and local roads, the report says. And the total number of miles driven by Califor- nians ie growing even faster than the slate's population. "We all agree that there is an enor- mous need, not only for our constituent - who are stuck in traffic jams far to much but for the future of the eoononr t' of the state of California," said Sena(' 8 Republican leader Nose Johnson of Ir vine as the report was delivered to tie g Legislature on Monday.

In the letter. whose text was made public Monday, Albright repeatedly ex- pressed regret for the embassy bombing. But she also told the Chinese authori- ties. that they have an obligation "to en- sure the safety of all Americans in Chi- na and protection of American proper- ties." Tens of thousands of protesters, spurred on by the government, have marched in 20 cities in the past three days in the biggest protests since the Tiananmen Square pro -democracy dem- onstrations in Beijing 10 years ago. Protesters' emotions were inflamed by government -run media reports that the attack on the. Chinese Embassy that sna►cen between we u.o. ana rsnuan embassies and shooed away onlookers. Sasser, the ambassador, said the weekend protests got almost completely out of hand. The low point of the ordeal. he said, came Sunday =ruing when he and other employees began destroying sensitive documents in preparation for abandoning the building, fearing that raging protesters were about to over- whelm the double row of police officers and stream through the gates. 'The crowd was pushing the police back — they looked tired — and these Young police were frantically calling for reinforcements," Sasser said. "We thought the odds were 50-50 they were corning in." Roads: Light -rail system expansion is on local list Continued from page Al ing bike paths and expanding rail systems, about $26 billion would be needed just to bring the state's current transportation system up to date, according to the Transpor- tation Commission. . Senate President Pro Tern John Bui-ton, D-San Francisco, who car- ried legislation requiring the transportation survey, said the $26 billion would merely "make our current system function at a decent level." "That's not talking expansion. that's not looking through the Sears `wish book,' " he said. 'That's filling potholes, replacing guard rails and repairing broken- down buses." The report was compiled by sur- veying counties. cities and local transportation agencies. They re- ported back with lists of needs that totaled $116.5 billion, includ- ed $57 billion worth of high -priori- ty projects arovind the state.

The suit actually contends the couple used church money and church property valued at more than $100,000. The Sacramento Area Council of Governments estimated the backlog of high -priority projects in Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter and Yuba counties at more than $2 bil- lion — $872 . tftillion for highways, $83 7 million, for urban and com- muter rail, $488 million for local streets and $141 million for bike and pedestrian projects. Included in the list of local proj- ects was the extension of Sacra- mento's light -rail system south from Meadowview Road to Cal - vine Road. Money for extending the system to Meadowview al- ready has been secured, according to SACOG. Tile list also included extending Richards Boulevard in downtown Sacramento across Highway 160 to hook up with the Capital City Freeway. And on the list of state highway projects was construction of a new bridge over the Feather River be- tween Marysville and Yuba City. El Dorado County listed high - priority projects totaling $300 mil- lion, while Placer County officials presented a list totaling $+198 mil- lion. . The report was released Mon- day as the state Senate voted 32-8 to approve a preliminary version ors proposed S 16 billion stateside transportation borrowing plan. Supporters acknowledged that the bond measure still faces major negotiations, and Republicans yarned they would prefer that the state pay for road work without. long-term borrowing. Under the bill.

The money could be used to build transportation facilities and repair or improve existing ones throughout the state. Lawmakers of both parties agreed that the state faces huge spending needs in transportation. They said the real work on devel- oping a transportation improve- ment plan — and a possible com- promise — will be done later this year in a joint Senate -Assembly conference committee. Gov. Gray Davis has appointed a special panel to study Califor- nia's overall infrastructure needs, including transportation, and ex- pects its report to be completed this summer. Several Republican senators said a plan to dedicate existing money- from the sales tax on gaso- line to transportation would avoid risking voter rejection of the bonds. If we do the Republican plan. we don't have to rely on the voters saying yes," said Sen. Jim Brake. R-Raneho Cucamonga.

Referred to the Assembly Appropriations Committee — no hearing date yet. As introduced, AB 74 would have rendered a specific rail freight operation (North Coast Railroad Authority) eligible for State Intercity Rail funding. After recent amendments the bill now simply requires Caltrans, in conjunction with the California Transportation Commission, to develop a State Freight Rail Plan. The plan shall be developed through a study which includes the following: 1. Environmental aspect, including land use and community aspects. 2. Financing issues, including a means to obtain state and federal transportation funds. 3. Rail issues, including regional, intrastate and interstate issues. 4. Intemodal connections, including seaports and intermodal terminals. 5. Current system deficiencies. 6. Service objectives, such as improving efficiency, accessibility, and safety, and enhancing branch lines. 7. New technology, including logistics and process improvement. 8. Light density rail line analyses, including traffic density, track characteristics, project selection criteria, and cost -benefit criteria. Staff Comments: Based on the fact that permitting freight operations to apply for funds relied on by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, would unnecessarily cause taxpaying rail passengers to compete with non -passenger service for funding to support their daily commute, both the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) adopted an "oppose" position to AB 74 when introduced. However, in light of the recent amendments to AB 74, staff recommends changing the current position from "Oppose" to "Watch." The bill currently offers no positive or negative impact upon either RCTC or SANBAG. Staff Recommendation: WATCH o:\ab74-dws.doc 000033 Date of Analysis: May 10, 1999 Bill Number/Author: AB 923 (Wally Hertzberg, D- Los Angeles) Introduced February 25, 1999 Amended April 28, 1999 Subject: Would Increase the Fines for Rail Right of Way Violations. Status: Passed the Assembly Transportation Committee On May 10, 1999. Summary: AB 923 would do the following: 1. Increases the base fine for failing to stop at a rail crossing to $100, and provides that subsequent violations be fined as follows: a) Up to $200 for a second offense. b) Up to $250 for a third or subsequent offense. 2. Removes the restrictions that limit subsequent fines to a one-year period, so a second - time offender can be charged the maximum $200 fine, even if their first offence was more than one year ago. 3. Allocates the first 30% of the fine collected to the transit district if a rail crossing offense occurred at a rail crossing on the district's transit lines. However, if there is no rail transportation provided in that area by a transit district, then the entire amount of the. fine and fees collected shall be deposited into the various city, county and state funds Staff Comments: Rail crossing violations have increased dramatically over the past few years. Since the beginning of Metrolink service, approximately 15,000 citations were issued for grade crossing violations. Further, since its service began in 1992, there have been 74 accidents, resulting in 16 fatalities and 38 injuries. AB 923 is an effort to prevent the proliferation of such incidents and to provide a funding source for further educational/prevention efforts to make the public aware of the dangers associated with violating rail right -of way.

Status: Passed the Assembly Transportation Committee 12 —5 on April 13, 1999. Placed on Assembly Appropriations Suspense File Summary: Designates a portion of federal transportation safety funding apportioned to the state under the federal Hazard Elimination/Safety (HES) program to be used by local governments to improve school area safety by installing new crosswalks, building bicycle paths and lanes, constructing sidewalks where none exist, and implementing traffic calming programs in neighborhoods around schools. Specifically, this bill reformulates the existing 50-50 HES program split between the state and local agencies and splits the HES money one-third each to state, locals, and the Safe Routes to School Program (SRSP). Staff Comments: Since this bill redirects existing resources, it would reduce the money available to state and local agencies for safety improvements to streets and highways. The total of the state's safety projects in the current SHOPP ranges from $50 million to $100 million per year. The SHOPP program receives approximately $30 million in federal HES funds. Under this bill, that amount would be reduced to approximately $20 million. Because there would be a reduction in the amount of money available to fund these programs, the reduction would have to be replaced by other funding, perhaps from the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The amount of money directed to local agencies for safety improvements would also be reduced to $20 million. In addition, this bill would call for many small projects from various entities around the state, and could prove to be inefficient. This bill would further divide existing transportation monies and reduce the flexibility set up under SB 45 (Kopp), Chapter 622, Statutes of 1997. This bill would earmark money.for the SRSP instead of allowing local transportation agencies to decide which safety projects should be given the highest priority. This bill would also require the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to reprogram existing money since the CTC has programmed the money through 2004. Through SB 45, regional transportation planning agencies are charged with making programming decisions and choosing between the needs of local streets and roads, state highways and public transit in order to meet overall transportation needs. It is important that such decisions remain in the hands of local elected officials and to preserve that 00 035 authority and autonomy, agencies such as RCTC and SANBAG must have credibility that they are choosing the best and most valuable projects for their area Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE 000036 Date of Analysis: May 10, 1999 Bill Number/Author: AB 1612 (Dean Florez, D- Shafter) Introduced February 26, 1999 Amended April 6, 1999 Subject: Would Allocate $300 lvrllion of State Highway Account Dollars to Rehabilitate Streets and Roads. Status: Summary: Passed the Assembly Transportation Committee 12 —3 on April 13, 1999. Referred to the Assembly Appropriations Committee — No Hearing Date Yet. AB 1612 would do the following: 1. Appropriate from the State Highway Account (SHA) in the State Transportation Fund to the Controller $200 million in FY 1999-2000 and $100 million in 2000-2001 for allocation to counties (50 percent) and to cities (50 percent) repair of local streets and highways. 2. Allocate 75 percent of the funds payable to counties on the basis of the proportion of registered vehicles to county population, and the remaining 25 percent on the basis of the proportion of county road mileage to total county road mileage statewide. 3. Allocate the funds payable to cities on the basis of the proportion of the city population to cities' population statewide. 4. Require recipient cities and counties to maintain existing levels of general fund expenditures for streets and highways. 5. Authorize recipient cities and counties, subject to the maintenance of effort requirement, to spend these funds for transportation purposes in addition to street and highway reconstruction and to repair of storm damage to local streets and highways. 6. Specify procedures to prevent the commingling of funds received and deposited. 7. Require recipient cities and counties to comply with all force account and bidding requirements under current law. OLA37 o:\ab1612-dws.doc 8. Require recipient cities and counties to expend these funds within one fiscal year of their receipt, and requires the return of unexpended -funds to the Controller for reallocation to other cities and counties. Senator Rainey ( R — Walnut Creek), has introduced SB 10 which is exactly the same bill as AB 1612. However, after conversations with the California Transportation Commission (CTC) has decided not to pursue SB 10. Staff Comments: The state and regional approach to the planning, programming, and financing of local transportation needs was reformed only last year by SB 45. The funding AB 1612 would provide bypasses the accountability safeguards and competitive scrutiny applied to STIP projects by regional transportation agencies under SB 45. The key question posed by this bill is whether the proposed transfer of funds from the State Highway Account (SHA) would endanger both federal funding and already approved programs prioritized under the STIP, or whether instead SHA funds may be used for the important short-term purposes of this bill without adversely affecting projects for which SHA funds already are committed. Caltrans reports that this bill would significantly deplete interregional funds available to meet statewide needs in the 1998 and 2000 STIPs, and would result in the deprogramming of approximately $88 mijlion in adopted STIP projects in FY 2000-01. Moreover, because the funds transferred under this measure would be diverted largely from federal matching programs yielding federal matching shares in excess of 80 percent, this bill could translate into the loss to the 'state of millions of dollars in federal funding. In discussions with staff, the CTC staff indicates much the same as Caltrans and states that at a minimum currently programmed STIP projects will be delayed. As the SANBAG board discussed during its review of the 1998 STIP augmentation, if $300 were to be redirected to local street repair, some portion of the I-215 project would incur delays. Because the STIP process is relatively new, most projects budgeted under STIP are still in their early, least costly stages. Many projects yet in their engineering and design phases soon will progress to far more costly construction and implementation phases, thereby drawing much more intensely on funds seemingly bottled up in the current SHA balance. In the case of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Each governing body, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) considered street repair and maintenance when oe glad bk4{SI doc reviewing options for the 1998 STEP Augmentation. RCTC chose to allocate $15 million (well above what would be received from the $300 million allocation statewide) to a call for projects for local street repairs. Part of the RCTC action included language stating that should an effort to acquire additional funding "off -the -top" of the State Highway Account be successful, the $15 million would be reprogrammed to other projects. SANBAG chose to maintain it's current priorities (I-215 and SR 30) and not make any special allocations for street repairs. AB 1612 wouldnegate the actions of ROTC and SANBAG and likely would require a reprogramming of STIP funds, and therefore, produce delays in project delivery. Through SB 45, regional transportation planning agencies are charged with making programming decisions and choosing between the needs of local streets and roads, state highways and public transit in order to meet overall transportation needs. It is important that such decisions remain in the hands of local elected officials and to preserve that authority and autonomy, agencies such as RCTC and SANBAG must have credibility that they are choosing the best and most valuable projects for their area and not biased in favor of those that are owned and operated by cities and counties versus those that are owned and operated by transit operators or Ca!trans. Statewide $500 million of the $1.5 billion STIP augmentation has been programmed - $200 million of which is programmed for local street repair projects; the CTC expects that at least 30% of the remaining billion will be programmed for local street maintenance projects. Thus, statewide, cities and counties will have already in excess of $300 million — leading staff to conclude that AB 1612 is a "double-dipping" effort. Without question, the need for street repair is significant and such projects have difficulty competing against capacity increasing pOjects in the STIP process. For that reason, the RCTC/SANBAG Legislative Program specifically states the two agencies' goal to seek funding for local street repairs from a state source "other than the State Highway Account." AB 16f2 conflicts with that goal. Staff' Recommendation: OPPOSE ,.� 0C 3033 o:bb1612-dws.doc Date of Analysis: May 10, 1999 Bill Number/Author: SB 1277 (Tom Hayden. D- Los Angeles) Introduced February 25, 1999 Amended April 7. 1999 Subject: Would Prohibit Construction of Roads in Lands Under the Jurisdiction of the Departmentof Parks and Recreation, the Department of Fish and Game and the state conservancies. Status: Passed Senate Natural Resources and Wildlife Committee 5-3 May 13,1999. Set for Hearing in the Senate' Appropriations Committee May 17, 1999. Summary: This bill would prohibit construction of roads in lands under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Fish and Game and the state conservancies. This prohibition would not apply to roads necessary for the maintenance and use of the protected lands, to fire roads and to roads for utilities. Staff Comments: Clearly, the intent of the author in pursuing SB 1277 is to protect certain lands from transportation (road) development due to the negative environmental impact such development may bring. Nevertheless, there currently exists an exhaustive environmental review process and requirements for significant mitigation of any negative environmental impact a transportation project may have. Further, the bill relates to lands under the jurisdiction of two state departments and their related state conservancies. Such jurisdiction covers a vast amount of land. This bill could have the affect of stopping several future transportation projects which have already been planned, reviewed and mitigated for. In Riverside County, a recently initiated comprehensive planning process combining, the County General Plan, Multi -species Habitat Conservation Plan and transportation corridor planning known as the Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) is underway. The CETAP process attempts to coordinate all significant levels of planning. This is a local process which includes all levels of government and will include all the requisite environmental reviews before proceeding with construction. It is possible that any projects arising out of the CETAP process have • an impact on San Bernardino County as well. Further, the Four Corners study efforts areas in Chino Hills that could be negatively impacted by the prohibitions in SB 1277. By prohibiting all road construction on any land under the jurisdiction of two large state departments, SB 1277 fails to recognize the local planning and review process currently existing. Further, with the advent of SB 45 (Kopp, Statutes, 1998) transportation planning decisions are largely under the purview of local governing bodies and these decisions are made through an open deliberative process which SB 1277 would prevent from having any relevance. Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE o:\sb1277-dws.doc %J J040 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: June 2, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget & Implementation Committee Eric Haley, Executive Director Norm King, Executive Director, SANBAG SUBJECT: Eval.uation/Savings of RCTC/SANBAG Due to Shared Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs Background Beginning in August 1998, the RCTC/SANBAG Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs position was filled. The first seven months of this position's existence have brought to light the many benefits, challenges and cost savings associated with this approach to government relations. Each of these can be described in terms of their relationships to: RCTC/SANBAG Board members, Legislators, the Executive Directors, staff and the public. Board Members Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are both in a unique situation of having nearly completed the program for each of their local transportation sales tax measures, having their expirations within a year of each other, and being faced with the largest growth for any two counties in the State. This unique situation dictates that the transportation commission for each county work closely with each other on policy, planning and financial endeavors. The board of each agency seems to appreciate the cooperation and additional understanding of each other's activities that has arisen from the shared position. The shared position also enables each agency to receive significant cost savings. The shared position has resulted in a total savings of $132,130 in public dollars - these costs include fully burdened staff salary and travel costs. These savings are certainly appreciated by each board. Legislators The RCTC/SANBAG Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs has been able to communicate the close working relationship of the two agencies to local businesses, State Legislators, Congressional Representatives and other interested parties not only with the very existence of the position, but also with a demonstrable knowledge of the operations of each agency. This communication has helped to solidify the two county area as a single region working towards the common goal of responding to current and future transportation needs of the area. This is particularly appreciated by the two bi-county legislative districts (Senate District 31, represented 0 �041 .� J by Senate Brulte and Assembly District 65, represented by Assemblyman Brett Granlund) in the area. Reapportionment may produce more such districts - which will add further value to the shared position. Significant also is the ability of one individual to benefit from the relationships and contacts that come from working for each county transportation commission. In both Sacramento and Washington, D.C., these relationships and contacts have proven to benefit the goals of each agency. Further; this is a two-way street; elected officials and their staffs appreciate the ability to garner information about either county from a single point of contact who is knowledgeable about the activities of each agency. Executive Directors Both Executive Directors have received numerous positive comments on the approach of the shared position. Each Executive Director has appreciated the benefits arising from the coordination the position is able to facilitate. As expected; the challenges relating to the position as a shared one, are primarily logistical. Generally, no committee or board meetings present any scheduling conflicts that cannot be worked around. However, the nature of the position requires a great deal of travel (mostly to Sacramento) which necessitates the Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs to be absent from a larger number of board and/or committee meetings than normally would be the case. The same is true for staff and other related meetings. This absence has not resulted in any noticeable decrease in productivity or the quality of performance. Rather, it is something that must be accepted and requires the flexibility of both agencies' staffs and board members. More importantly than the natural meeting conflicts, to date, no conflicts regarding policy positions of -either board have risen - nor do any appear to be rising in the future. The ability of both boards to adopt coordinated policy positions relating to legislation is a positive indicator of the value and benefit to maintaining the shared. position's existence. Another challenge associated with the shared position is the management of the State and Federal advocate contracts. While both RCTC and SANBAG are represented in Sacramento by the same firm (Smith and Kempton), that is not the case for the advocates in Washington, D.C. While each agency is represented at a highly competent level, this difference requires the Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs to spend a substantially greater amount of time communicating with each agency's respective advocate than normally would be the case. The result is a loss in efficiency and some minor costs that could be avoided if the agencies had the same advocate in Washington, D.C. ►�04 While having two advocates in Washington, D.D. does present certain challenges, they are not without benefits. Each firm has it's own special relationships and contacts that are useful to both agencies. Thus, the Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs is able to benefit from this information much in the same manner mentioned above relative to extensive contacts in each county. Staff The staff of both agencies have found value in the shared position's existence. The position has served well .to facilitate coordination between the two agencies. The position has also helped to eliminate duplicate meeting attendance by enabling one individual, rather than two (one from each agency) to attend various meetings - locally, in Sacramento, and elsewhere. Below is an analysis of the cost savings associated with RCTC and SANBAG sharing the position of the Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs. The primary costs associated with the position as an individual staff person used for this analysis are fully burdened staff costs (not including indirect costs due to difficulty extracting this number) and travel costs by the individual. I spoke with Dean Martin, RCTC and Susan Van Note, SANBAG to obtain the numbers referenced below. Staff Costs Past RCTC Full Burdened Staff Costs Past SANBAG Fully Burdened Staff Costs Current RCTC/SANBAG Fully Burdened Individual Staff Cost for RCTC and SANBAG 0108,870 divided by 2) $1 17,000 $112,109 $108, 870 $ 54,435 Travel Costs (It is important to note that due to the position at SANBAG not being filled from March 1998 through July 1998 and the current fiscal year not being complete, an estimate of $2,000 was added to the totals for March 1998 and March 1999 to provide a more accurate representation). Past RCTC Travel Past SANBAG Travel Current RCTC/SANBAG Travel Individual Staff Cost for RCTC and SANBAG ($6,000 divided by 2) $ 9,000 $ 9,000 $ 6,000 $ 3,000 Savings Related to Travel RCTC $ 6,000 SANBAG $ 6,000 O3343 Savings Related to Staff Costs RCTC $ 62,565 SANBAG $ 57,565 Total Savings Associated with Shared Position RCTC $ 68,565 SANBAG $ 63,565 Total Public Dollars Saved $132,130 Public For the public, the shared position has many of the same benefits associated with those attributed to legislators. Like legislators, the public appreciates both one point of contact and the significant cost savings mentioned earlier. Conclusion As with any newly created position, this one does not come without its difficulties. Most of these are logistical and certainly are manageable. On the whole, the shared position is having a positive impact on each agency, both financially and in terms of perception of the boards of each agency, each Executive Director, elected representatives in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., staff and the public. BUDGET & IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION; That the Commission approve continuation of the shared position of Director of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs. 0 3044 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 2, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget & Implementation Committee Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Mike Davis, Project Coordinator THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Request for Proposal for the Pedley Station Security System Design At the April 14, 1999 RCTC meeting, .the Commission directed Staff to prepare a request for proposal (RFP) from qualified consultants that can prepare the plans, specifications, and cost estimate for the Pedley Metrolink rail station security system and connect the system back to the Riverside Downtown Station monitoring facility. The RFP was issued on April 16, 1999 and Proposals were due at RCTC on May 14, 1999. Only two (2) Proposals were received. One proposal was received late and contained a cost that was sixty percent above the estimated cost and the other was non -responsive to the criteria as specified in the RFP. It is believed that the reason for such a poor response to the RFP was due to the fact that firms that typically develop rail station security systems do "Design -Build" contracts and the RFP as issued was strictly for Design only. Staff investigated whether or not RCTC could enter into a Design -Build contract for development of the Pedley Metrolink rail station security system and found that it could not be done without jeopardizing federal funding for construction of the project. Based on the results of the proposals received and the fact that this is not a time constrained project, Staff is proposing that the RFP be reissued. Staff will attempt to reach out to a larger group of consultants with the expectation of receiving a greater participation and better quality proposals. A selection panel will be established to review the proposals, short list the,firms that submit proposals, and report back to the Commission with recommendations on the most qualified firm to complete the work. The selection panel will be comprised of RCTC and Bechtel Staff. 0045 Financial Assessment Project Cost estimated cost is $30,000 {to be determined after selection process is complete.

A selection panel will be established to review the proposals received, short list the firms that submit proposals if necessary, and report back to the Commission with recommendations on the most qualified firm to complete the work. The selection panel will be comprised of RCTC, Bechtel Staff and any other - interested agency participants. 000046 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 2,1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission • FROM: Budget & Implementation Committee Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Resident Engineer Paul Blackwelder, Deputy•Executive Director THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director • SUBJECT: Request Commission Authorization to Proceed with a Notice of Intent (NOI) to Start the Process to Acquire Temporary Construction Easements (TCE's) by Eminent Domain Required for the Construction of Sound Wall #98 along the South Side of State Route 91, between Jackson and Monroe Streets in the City of Riverside. At the May RCTC meeting, the Commission authorized staff to advertise for bids for construction of Sound Wall #98, located along the South side of Route 91, between Jackson and Monroe Streets, in the City of Riverside. The project was advertised starting on May 22, 1999 and bids are due on June 17, 1999. Construction of the project is anticipated to start approximately at the beginning of September, 1999. The new sound wall will be constructed with the far edge of the sound wall foundation located adjacent to the Ca!trans right-of-way line. This will necessitate the acquisition of Temporary Construction Easements (TCE) to allow for construction activities such as: clearing the construction area of vegetation, erection of temporary fencing, removal of the existing access control fences, and construction of the new sound wall. There are 24 TCEs required for the project, which are further described in Exhibit "A". The TCEs are situated along the back or side of each of the properties that are along and adjacent to the project. The easements are a rectangular strip of property, 1 meter in width. The TCEs are contained in an alley. The alley is at the back of each of the properties and runs the full length of the project. The property owners will be given a 30 day written notice by the contractor prior to start of construction. The Temporary Construction Easements will be obtained for a period of one (1) year starting on the 31 st day after the contractor's written notice. The County of Riverside Real Property Department is acting as right-of-way acquisition agent for the Commission in the acquisition of the 24 Temporary Construction Easements required for the project. Right-of-way acquisition agents for the County have, for the past month, been contacting the property owners and negotiated fees to acquire the temporary construction easements. In light of the planned project schedule, if the Commission fails to obtain any of the 24 temporary 0 �4 construction easements by voluntary acquisition, the Commission may have to consider adopting a resolution of necessity to acquire these temporary construction easements by eminent domain. Prior to adopting a resolution of necessity, the Commission must give each person whose property is to be acquired, and whose name and address appears on the last equalized County Tax Assessor's roll, a Notice of Intent and reasonable opportunity to appear and be heard on: (1) whether the public interest and necessity require the proposed project; (2) whether the proposed project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; (3) whether the acquisition of the temporary construction easements are necessary for the project; (4) whether the required offers to acquire the temporary construction easements have been made. Note: The value of the property is not an issue at the hearing. The Notice of Intent must be mailed by first class mail and state the intent of the Commission to consider the adoption of the resolution, the right of each person to appear and be heard on these issues, and that the failure to file a written report to appear will result in a waiver of the right to appear and be heard.

June 2, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans & Programs Committee Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Mike Davis, Bechtel Environmental Manager THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Award of Consultant Contract No. RO-9970 to produce a Feasibility Study for future North/South Corridors between 1-10 and SR-60 between 1-15 and 1-215. At the January RCTC meeting, the Commission authorized a $100,000 study to assess the feasibility of providing future regional arterial improvements to provide better North/South connectivity between the 1-10 and State Route 60 corridors between 1-15 and 1-215. The City of Fontana in conjunction with the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) have each taken board actions to for funding allocations that would share in the cost of the study. The current proposal is that the funding be split between SANBAG and RCTC on a 50/50 basis and that the SANBAG 50% share be further split between SANBAG and the City of Fontana. RCTC will be the lead agency for the project with agency participation from both the City of Fontana and SANBAG. Development team members will also include planners from the County of Riverside, Caltrans and adjacent cities. At the March RCTC meeting, the Commission directed staff to prepare and advertise a Request for Proposal (RFP) to produce a Feasibility Study for future North/South Corridors between 1-10 and SR-60 between 1-15 and 1-215. The calendar of events were as follows: Distribution of RFP Proposers Conference Proposals delivered to RCTC Short Listed Firms Notified Interviews of Short Listed Firms April 1, 1999 April 15, 1999 April 22, 1999 April 30, 1999 May 11, 1999 Staff received proposals from five (5) firms. A selection panel was assembled, which consisted of representatives from RCTC/Bechtel, Caltrans, SANBAG, the City of Fontana, and the County of Riverside. The selection panel reviewed the five (5) proposals and short listed three (3) of the five (5) firms. 0 0051 All three (3) firms presented teams that would be capable of completing the proposed scope of work. After consideration of the proposed project teams, knowledge of the project and proposed project approach, the selection panel ranked the three (3) interviewed firms as follows: Top Ranked Meyer, Mohaddes Assoc. Second Parsons Brinckerhoff Third VRPA Technologies After Meyer, Mohaddes was selected as the top ranked firm, their cost proposal was opened. The Meyer, Mohaddes scope of work and cost proposal is attached for Commission review. Meyer, Mohaddes proposed to perform the attached scope of work to produce a Feasibility Study for future North/South Corridors between 1-10 and SR-60 between 1-15 and 1-215 for the amount of $99,867. Staff reviewed the Meyer, Mohaddes scope of work and respective cost proposal and found it to be reasonable to complete the proposed scope of work. The RCTC model consultant agreement will be used.

The RCTC model consultant agreement will be used for this agreement. 063052 North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC SCOPE OF WORK Understanding of the Project and Overall Approach Capacity deficiencies and the related congestion problems in the north -south project corridor between the I-15 and I-215 freeways have confronted area residents, commuters and agencies for many years. The lack of adequate north -south traffic capacity in this area has resulted in exacerbation of traffic congestion problems on the existing few connecting arterials as well as both freeways, which have to absorb the overflow traffic. The traffic problems affect both residents of the immediate area and the longer distance commuters on the area freeways. In the area between the I-15 and I-215, the I-10 and SR-60 freeways carry over 160,000 and 83,000 daily two-way trips, respectively. This means that the broader east -west corridor in this area carries nearly 250,000 two-way daily trips generating a large desire to connect between the two east -west freeways. Faced with these problems, the two counties' agencies and the area's jurisdictions have done considerable research and planning to evaluate existing congestion problems and to identify potential alternative solutions. These efforts; however, will culminate in the subject project. The ultimate mission of this project will be to take the most balanced and comprehensive look at the north -south mobility needs in this corridor. In order for this project to be successful, a number of objectives must be met: • The levels of existing mobility problems in the corridor must be quantified • The patterns of traffic movement in the corridor, and the "users" of the corridor's limited number of existing facilities must be identified • The true or "unconstrained" future demand in the corridor must be quantified • A balanced solution should be developed for corridor's mobility problems; given the extent of the corridor, the capacity improvements must be placed in the most appropriate location • The recommended corridor improvements must be realistic and implementable, and acceptable by all "stakeholders" . Given the number of variables involved and the corridor combinations, it is fortunate that the project will have the full benefit of using the CTP model for its technical evaluation. Having been involved with many recent projects in the Inland Empire, MMA staff have complete familiarity with this model and its capabilities. As will be discussed in our detailed scope of work, we tiave proposed to identify and isolate an overall project study area to help compare and evaluate alternative mobility improvement scenarios. This technique, which has been successfully used in many area/corridor studies, allows for a comprehensive evaluation of mobility improvements using specific performance indicators such as: overall average speeds, delay, areawide levels of congestion, vehicle miles of travel, vehicle hours of travel, etc. When analyzing the future conditions, it is very likely that without any improvements, the highway system in the corridor will be so congested that a "no -project" model run will not show the true travel demand in the corridor. Another technique, which we have proposed is to conduct an "unconstrained" demand run to "bring out" and identify the true future north -south demand in the coridor and plan for improvements appropriately. Meyer, Mohaddes Associates T 003053 North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC Finally, regardless of a high quality, defensible technical analysis, it is vital that all aspects of the recommended solutions be properly identified. These include environmental and cost issues, traffic diversion impacts on other facilities, as well as acceptability of the solutions to local residents and all jurisdictions. Work Tasks The following scope of work has been developed to provide a step-by-step program for the North -South . Corridor Feasibility Study. It includes all the required tasks outlined in the Attachment "B", Scope of Services in the Request for Proposals and describes the specific features of the technical approach our team has developed for this project. Where applicable, each task is further broken down into relevant subtasks to clarify the proposed technical efforts. Task 1.0 Project Initiation and Data Collection • Proiect Kickoff and Scope Refinement. The consultant team will meet with RCTC, SANBAG, City of Fontana and City of Rialto staff to review the project scope and proposed detailed methodologies. Agency staff comments will be received and incorporated into a final scope of work. Proposed project deadlines, milestones, and deliverables will be reviewed and finalized. The specifics of travel forecast development and modeling will be discussed with SCAG and other agency staff and appropriate agreements will be developed. • Meet with Agencies. Consultant team members will meet with staffs from all involved agencies and jurisdictions, including RCTC, SANBAG, City of Fontana, City of Rialto, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Caltrans, and other agencies, as appropriate to discuss and document staff views on existing mobility problems in the corridor area, any sensitive environmental and community issues, and to collect all relevant available data and previous studies. • Review Previous Studies. All studies relevant to the corridor area will be reviewed and pertinent information will be summarized. These include the Sierra/Cedar Traffic Relief Corridor study, Sierra Avenue interchange improvement plans, City/County general plan circulation elements, as -built street improvement plans, land use maps, etc. • Prepare Base Mapping for the Corridor. Using USGS quad maps, and aerial photographs, which will be flown specifically for this project, the team will develop base maps for the entire corridor area at the most appropriate scale for performing the alignment and constraints analysis as part of this project. Products: flUi 054 Collect Traffic Counts. All available recent daily and peak hour traffic counts within the corridor area will be collected from agencies. It is assumed that the available data will be supplemented by new daily (ADT) counts along the corridor area. at all major north -south crossings and key east -west locations. Peak hour counts will also be collected at key intersections. A maximum of 15 ADT counts and 5 AM and PM peak hour intersection counts are assumed to be collected to supplement existing data, as part of this project. • Finalized Project Scope of Work • Summary of Previous Studies and Key Issues • Corridor Base Maps and Aerial Photos • Existing Traffic Count Data Base (counted and obtained) Meyer,_Mohaddes Associates North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC Task 2.0 Existing Conditions/Setting 2.1 Definition of the Corridor and Study Area. One of the key initial tasks will be to precisely define the project study area and its boundaries for analysis purposes throughout the project. This will also be important for the subsequent analysis of the mobility indicators. The definition of the study area will be based on discussions with agencies and review of travel patterns within the broader area. 2.2 Obtain and Refine CTP Model. The RIVSAN CTP model network and zonal structure for the project area will be obtained from SCAG's Inland Empire office and will be reviewed for accuracy of existing conditions as well as future base (funded) conditions. The graphic on the next page shows the base year CTP model network in the corridor area. It can be seen that the model network includes a fairly good representation of all facilities currently traversing the corridor, which should be appropriate for modeling needs of this project. Based on the review, recommendations will be made to refine and/or correct the network representations in tenors of facility connections, link capacities and length, and zone structure, as appropriate, to develop a more precise, focused CTP model for use specifically in this project. As an option, to expedite the process, network changes can be made by consultant staff and transmitted electronically to SCAG for application, which is the method we are currently using',on a number of projects. In order to be able to summarize relevant mobility statistics for the overall study area (as defined in 2.1), all of the study area facilities will be given a special code in the network. These mobility statistics, which will be used later in the project to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the various alternatives, will include: average speeds, overall miles of congestion, delay, vehicle miles of travel (VMT), vehicle hours of travel (VHT), etc. 2.3 Existing Mobility Problems. The existing traffic operating conditions within the defined corridor study area will be analyzed and described. This will include a description of major travel patterns and the users of the corridor utilizing a select link analysis from the CTP model. In addition, existing daily link volumes, peak hour volumes at key intersection, and operating ' conditions will be analyzed and described based on volume/capacity and levels of service analysis. All other perceived mobility problems in the study area, as identified by the agency staff in .Task 1 will be described. The existing model will be run to produce summary statistics about the current overall operating conditions of the study area. 2.4 Corridor -wide Engineering Constraints. Aerial photo reconnaissance will be conducted along proposed corridors, documenting existing conditions and constraints. The photo reconnaissance, as -built data and aerial photos will be used to compile an inventory of existing features, constraints and issues from an engineering perspective. This inventory will define, qualitatively, general topography, land use, and potential for connectivity to adjacent roadways along the study corridors.

SOpp 1/00/ Yo,foiy North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC 2.5 Corridor -wide Environmental Constraints. A preliminary environmental evaluation of the overall study corridor will be conducted. The focus of the evaluation will be on the identification of fatal flaws for the proposed circulation improvements. The analysis will use the environmental checklist from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The discussion of environmental effects will be based on review of existing literature and site visits. A brief explanation for all checklist answers will be included to provide Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) with an understanding of how the conclusions were reached: The result of the analysis would provide the RCTC with an understanding• of the issues that would arise during the preparation of the environmental documentation and the type of technical studies that would be required Products: • Technical Memorandum on the Existing Setting of the project area and current mobility problems, engineering constraints and environmental issues. (Note: this memorandum will be formatted for easy incorporation into future environmental documents). • Refined and Focused CTP Model for Project Study Area Task 3.0 Identify Future Mobility Needs 3.1 Identify Future Base System. With input from RCTC, SANBAG and the Cities, the consultant team will identify the future base system assumptions for the horizon year of the project. It is assumed that the horizon year will be 2020. All funded projects and those with good chance of funding will be identified. These include arterial and freeway mixed - flow and high occupancy vehicle projects. • 3.2 Identify Future Problems. The CTP model will be run to identify the future operating conditions and levels of service assuming only implementation of the base system defined in the previous subtask. 'This will provide information about the future levels of congestion and mobility without any further transportation improvements in the corridor. Levels of service analysis will include link level and system -wide performance indicator analysis, as well an analysis of key intersections. It should be noted that currently, the adopted future year forecast. for the CTP model is 2015. The 2020 forecasts are in development but are not yet complete. Based on our discussions with SCAG staff, it does not appear that the 2020 model will be ready in time for this project. To overcome this; in coordination with SCAG and SANBAG, MMA has recently employed adjustment techniques to develop 2020 forecasts by extrapolating the model's 2015 projections for use in the City of Fontana's I-10 PSR/PR projects. It is proposed that, in case the 2020 model is not available, similar methods be used to develop 2020 forecasts for this project. 3.3 Develop Mobility Goals. Based on an analysis of the future mobility problems, with input from agency staffs, the consultant team will develop a set of mobility goals for the corridor area. The goals will be either by facility (e.g., no worse than a certain LOS for all facilities) or by corridor -wide performance indicators (e.g.; overall V/C, average speeds or delay no worse than a certain level). These goals will be used to develop alternative transportation improvements. The consultant team, with input from agency staff, will also develop a set of performance criteria to evaluate and compare the improvement alternatives. Meyer, Mohaddes Associates 00057 North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC 3.4 Identify Future Demand. Before alternative improvements are developed and tested, it will be important to find out what the true travel demand may be in the corridor. We propose to conduct one additional "unconstrained" model run, where a high capacity (say expressway facility) is assumed in the corridor. The results of this model run will provide information about the level of true travel demand in the corridor, the extent of needed future north -south capacity improvements in the corridor, and the potential level of benefits to existing parallel facilities. Products: • Technical memorandum on identified future mobility problems and capacity needs in the corridor area. Task 4.0 Develop Alternatives 4.1 Develop Alternative Improvements. Based on the results of the previous task, including the identified future congestion problems and capacity deficiencies in the overall corridor and on individual facilities, the identified travel demand, and mobility goals, the consultant team will identify a series of traffic capacity improvements in the corridor area. At a minimum, all of the identified corridors in the RFP will be examined. These, which were developed collectively by the City of Fontana, RCTC and SANBAG, include: Sierra - Valley Way, Mulberry -Country Village. Cedar-Rubidoux, Poplar -Pyrite, Alder -Market or Armstrong, and Sierra -Pacific. The graphic on the next page illustrates these presently identified potential connections and capacity improvements. It should be pointed out that most of these identified corridors are gap closures and connections of existing facilities on the opposite sides of the Jurupa Hills to create new continuous arterial corridors. Data on traffic flow patterns, from previous tasks, and the issue of logical geographic connections will be considered in developing the final list of corridors. In addition to these alternatives, the team will examine the possibility of capacity improvements along the existing continuous facilities, with consideration for identified engineering and environmental constraints. Select link runs will be conducted on the results of the model runs in the previous task to identify the users of the corridor, to see whether the travelers are mostly local trips or long distance commuters. This will help in identifying the levels of capacity need and best locations of appropriate capacity improvements. 4.2 Conceptual Alignments. Based on capacity and lane requirements derived from the traffic modeling and demand analysis, the team will develop one (1) conceptual alignment alternative for each corridor under study. Each alternative will include a conceptual roadway cross section, and horizontal and vertical alignments. Given the generally hilly topography of the project area, it is proposed that USGS mapping be used as the basis for developing conceptual vertical alignments. It is proposed that the conceptual plans be developed in AutoCAD Version 14 at'a scale of 1"=50' horizontal, 1"=10' vertical. 4.2 Development of Modeling Scenarios. The conceptual alternatives will be presented to the advisory committee for an initial consideration. Comments will be received and possible changes and adjustments will be made to the developed alignments and/or cross sections. The team, with input from the agency staff, will develop and finalize a series of corridor improvement scenarios. These will include individual improvements or grouping of potential improvements as "packages" to be modeled.

The team will code model networks to correspond to each of the improvement scenarios developed in the previous step. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that a total of six alternative scenarios will be developed. Coded model networks will be transmitted to SCAG whose staff will conduct the model runs. Products: Conceptual corridor alignment plans on USGS topographic base. • Coded TRANPLAN networks for each modeling scenario. Task 5.0 Evaluate and Compare Alternative Scenarios 5.1 Run Model Scenarios. The CTP Model will be run by SCAG for each of the corridor improvement scenarios. The results of model runs showing projected traffic volumes, levels of congestion, average speeds, and other statistics on each facility will be summarized and provided by SCAG to the consultants. 5.2 Analyze Mobility Results. The Consultant team will analyze the results of the. model runs for each scenario and will summarize the results. The results will be presented in the same format as the mobility analysis for the base (no project) conditions. Data will include corridor volumes by facility, V/C by facility, average speeds, as well as corridor -wide summary results of performance indicators including vehicle miles of travel, vehicle hours of travel, overall average speeds by facility type (freeway and arterials), average delay, etc. The findings will be presented in a matrix format for comparison. 5.3 Engineering Feasibility. The conceptual alignments developed under Task 3 will be evaluated for constructability, practicality, and cost. The findings of this evaluation will be presented in matrix form. Opinions of probable cost will be on an order of magnitude basis, and will include rough estimations of administration, engineering, right-of-way and construction costs. 5.4 Identification of Environmental Issues. The consultant team will identify the potential environmental issues associated with the developed alignment alternatives. Environmental issues in the following areas will be examined using the CEQA checklist: • Biological Resources —To determine the potential direct and indirect impacts of the alternative alignments on biological resources, a qualitative evaluation will be prepared assessing the potential impacts on connectivity of the project site to other regional open space areas and the known presence of sensitive biological resources within the region. Through the use of recent aerial photographs (1" to 400' scale mapping), topographic maps, roadway alignment maps, and previous environmental documentation of projects in theregion, the general habitat types within the study area will be identified and limited field checks will be conducted to verify areas that may appear suitable for sensitive biological resources. Species of potential concern in the study area include the Delhi sands flower loving fly, Quino .checkerspot butterfly, and San Bernardino kangaroo rats. Additionally, the compatibility of the proposed improvements with ongoing regional open space planning for the Santa Ana River watershed will be assessed. • Cultural Resources —Existing data for archeological and historical sites will be used to identify known sites and potentially allow the team to determine if any sites are known to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Complete literature Meyer,.Mohaddes Associates Ou3060 North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC searches and field surveys will not be conducted because this would be more appropriate at the time when the CEQA documentation is completed. • Land Use/Socioeconomic—Compatibility of the North/South Arterial Corridor improvements with the existing and proposed land uses in the project study area will be evaluated. The evaluation will identify if alternatives would result in extensive displacements of sensitive (difficult to relocate) uses. In addition, General Plans for the local jurisdictions and other relevant planning documents will be evaluated to determine project consistency with the goals and policies. This would include trails, bikeways, and other planned facilities that could potentially conflict or complement the project. • Air Quality —A qualitative discussion will be provided regarding potential sensitive receptors and applicable State and federal air quality laws. • Noise —The location of sensitive receptors will be identified. The environmental checklist will be submitted for review to RCTC. Revisions will be made to incorporate comments that are within the scope of work. 5.5 Rank and Compare Alternative Scenarios. Summary information from the previous three subtasks will be presented in a matrix format for comparison purposes. These three maior evaluation categories will include: mobility improvement, engineering feasibility, and environmental issues. The alternative corridor improvement scenarios will be compared and evaluated based on their performance in each of the categories and overall performance. The alternative scenarios will be compared with the base scenario and with each other using the evaluation criteria developed in Task 3. The alternative scenarios will be evaluated and compared based on their performance, and ranked. The evaluation criteria may or may not be weighted based on input from agencies. 5.6 Combine Alternatives. It is possible that after the initial evaluation of alternative scenarios, elements from two or more scenarios may be combined to develop a separate combination scenario. Products: • Technical memorandum summarizing the results of the alternatives analysis • Summary alternatives evaluation matrix • Environmental checklist for alternatives • Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates Task 6.0 Develop Recommendations 6.1 Select Preferred Alternative(s). As a result of the alternatives evaluation, the best performing alternative scenario will be selected for recommendation. The performance of the preferred alternative will be based on a combination.of mobility improvement, engineering feasibility, preliminary cost, and overall environmental impacts. 6.2 Refine Conceptual Drawings and Cost Estimates. The preliminary engineering drawings prepared for the selected alternative in Task 3 will be refined to reflect findings from the environmental analysis and any changes which may have resulted from the evaluation of alternative scenarios (e.g. changes in capacity and/or number of lane or typical cross Meyer, Mohaddes Associates $uJ(36 North/South Arterial Corridors RCTC section requirements) on particular roadway improvements. Necessary refinements will be made to cost estimates developed in Task 3 to reflect the total cost for the preferred alternative scenario. 6.3 Refine Initial Study Environmental Checklist. The initial study environmental checklist, which was prepared for the alignments in the preferred alternative scenario will be reviewed and refined, if necessary, based on any changes resulting from alternatives analysis and possible alignment refinements. 6.4 Implementation and Funding Strategies and Public Outreach Program Outline. The consultant team will develop a strategic implementation and funding plan for the projects included in the selected alternative improvement scenario. A table will be developed which will include the list of improvement projects, project description, estimated construction cost, jurisdiction, possible funding scenario, responsible agency, potential environmental clearances needed, and programming/funding steps. The consultant team will develop a strategic plan outline for a potential public outreach effort with agencies and corridor stakeholders in subsequent stages of the program, to help initiate a formal process for the implementation of the recommended improvement projects. 6.5 Draft and Final Report. The consultant team will prepare a draft final report which will summarize the results of all phases of the project and will be presented to all agencies for their review. Comments will be received on the draft report, will be incorporated and a Final Report will be published, which willinclude an Executive Summary for easy reference. Products: List of Recommended Corridor Improvement Projects • Improvement Project Strategic Implementation Plan • Public Outreach Strategy Outline Final Draft Report • Final Report Work Flow / Schedule Our proposed schedule for the North/South Arterial Corridor Study is provided on the following page. The graphic also illustrates the flow of work tasks, their inter -dependencies and input relationships. Major milestones/work tasks are also indicated. We have proposed an eight month schedule for the technical analysis. This is a schedule which will provide for a comprehensive evaluation and ample time for agency review cycles. MMA is open to discussions on modifications to this schedule. We feel that it may be possible to shorten the time frame to six months, if necessary, by compressing the time periods for review.

This action was taken to support the State funded State Highway Operations and Protection Program (SHOPP) projects at various locations on State Route 74 between Wasson Canyon Road and 7th Street in the City of Perris. Staff also recommended that Amendment No.8 include a 15% contingency of $31,260 for a total contract value of $239,660. As Riverside County proceeded with the acquisition of the original 40 parcels, Caltrans requested additional parcels be included in the SHOPP project acquisition process. The total number of parcels to be acquired for the SHOPP projects has now reached 80, double the original number proposed. Of the 80 parcels now required by Caltrans, 70 parcels will be required by the Measure A project. The remaining 10 are for temporary construction easements. The estimated cost for the County of Riverside to acquire the additional 40 parcels is $195,610. This amount exceeds the original $31,260 contingency set up to cover additional expenses under Amendment No. 8. On May 14, 1999, the Commission approved Amendment No.10 to Agreement RO 9337 with the County of Riverside to appraise the parcels necessary for the construction of the entire project State Route 74 between 1-15 and 7th Street in the City of Perris. Amendment No.10 will cover the appraisal of 425 parcels and was estimated to cost an additional $400,000. Staff is recommending that the Commission approve $195,610 for the County of Riverside to acquire the 40 additional SHOPP project parcels. With the addition of this work, he total value of Amendment No. 10 would be $595,610 ($400,000 + $195,610)• The $31,260 contingency established under Amendment No. 8 would be retained to cover any further additional expenses should they arise. M066 Caltrans has agreed that the overall cap on the RCTC contribution to the Caltrans SHOPP projects will not be increased. RCTC will end up paying more for right-of-way acquisition for parcels that will be required for the future Measure A project, and Caltrans will pick up additional construction costs for the SHOPP projects.

The total value of Amendment No. 10 would be $595,610. The $31,260 contingency established under Amendment No. 8 would be retained to cover any further additional expenses should they arise.

The project, known as Option Rideshare was developed as a "sister" incentive project to the Commission's Measure A commuter incentive project, Advantage Rideshare. Additionally, SANBAG and the Commission jointly established Inland Empire Commuter Services in FY 95/96 when it was determined by the two agencies that the Inland Empire would assume direct responsibility for the provision of local employer rideshare services as opposed to contracting with Southern California Rideshare, a division of Southern California Association of Governments. - Together, Option Rideshare and . Inland Empire Commuter Services make-up SANBAG's Commuter Assistance Program. Based on SANBAG staff's review of the two projects' performance this current fiscal year, the Commission was asked to develop and submit a FY 99/00 work plan and budget. for continuation of their Commuter Assistance Program. The proposed budget, attached as Exhibit A, was prepared by RCTC and SANBAG staff. Attached as Exhibit B are the goals for the two projects. The proposed contract between SANBAG and the Commission which defines the terms and conditions regarding project goals, budgets, reporting, invoicing and payment for services rendered has been reviewed and approved by RCTC's legal counsel and was approved by the SANBAG Board at its May, 1999, meeting. Staff seeks Commission approval to enter into the contract with SANBAG as part of the Commission's continuing bi-county partnership with SANBAG in the delivery of coordinated commuter and employer rideshare services. 003078 As the SANBAG contract budget is not part of the Commission's proposed budget, staff seeks approval to incorporate the costs in the Commission's contract with its Transportation Demand Management agreement in an amount not to exceed $677,831.00.

(CTS), has provided regional rideshare services for over 20 years in the southern California region including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties. For many years, stable funding was secured from Caltrans at the state level with additional contributions from each of the respective county transportation commissions (CTC's). As the Commission will recall, for the last several years state funding was continually in question requiring extensive lobbying efforts at various levels to secure the following years allocation. In FY 97/98, Caltrans authorized the use of Transportation System Management (TSM) fund savings for regional rideshare services as the "last" bridge funding with the expectation that local jurisdictions would assume all future funding responsibilities. Based on the adopted roles and responsibilities between the Regional Transportation Agencies Coalition (RTAC) and SCR, a regional rideshare core services work program was prepared in cooperation with SCR and approved by the RTAC. In FY 98/99 funding was provided by the local CTCs based on a population formula; Riverside County's proportional share is 8.05% or $253,141 .00.. Included in RCTC's FY 99/00 draft budget under the Commuter Assistance Program is a Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) line item allocation to SCR in the amount requested. The regional rideshare core services work program includes database maintenance, survey and RideGuide production, telephorie customer information service and marketing implementation. As in the previous year, the five CTC's have taken a collaborative approach in the development of the work program, and expect to oversee the performance of SCR through the collective RTAC process. Attached as Exhibit A is the proposed goals and objectives identified in the work plan. The proposed contract between RCTC and the Southern California Association of Governments is currently being reviewed by RCTC's legal counsel. This contract defines the terms and conditions regarding project goals, budgets, reporting, invoicing and payment for services rendered. 000083 Financial Assessment Project Cost $253,141 Source of Funds Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality included in proposed FY 99/00 RCTC budget.

Measure A Commuter Assistance Buspool Subsidy Funding Continuation Requests As part of the Measure A Commuter Assistance Program, the Commission provides funding support to buspools used by Riverside County residents for their home to work commutes along the Route 91 corridor. The Commission adopted the Measure A buspool subsidy in October 1990 and established a monthly subsidy rate of $1,175 ($ 25/seat/month) in support of commuter buspool operations. The subsidy rate has not changed since inception of the policy. To provide additional guidance, the Commission established a minimum buspool ridership policy in June 1995. The policy requires staff to report to the Commission when a buspool's ridership falls to 25 or below and seek direction regarding the continuation of the buspool's subsidy. A buspool ridership summary chart for FY 98/99 is attached as Exhibit A. To renew their annual subsidy, an existing buspool is required to request continuation funding for the new fiscal year from the Commission in writing. Attached as Exhibit B are the FY 99/00 request letters from the following three existing buspools: RIVERSIDE/FULLERTON BUSPOOL: Begun in the early 1980's, the Riverside to Fullerton - Raytheon (formerly known as Hughes) • buspool route includes stops at park and ride lots at La Sierra Metrolink Station and Corona Park and Ride lot. The average monthly ridership for the current fiscal year is 25 passengers with the lowest single monthly ridership being 22 and the highest 29. As Raytheon pays its employees a $21 transit subsidy, the monthly pass cost for Raytheon employees is .$85. Any non -Raytheon employee passengers pay $106. The contract provider Safeway Lines & Tour Company has accessible coaches available for use on the route if a person with disabilities purchases a monthly buspool pass. • RIVERSIDE/EL SEGUNDO BUSPOOL: Begun in June, 1995, the Riverside to El Segundo - Raytheon buspool route includes stops at the Galleria at Tyler Mall and Corona park and ride lots. The average monthly ridership for the current fiscal year is 45 passengers with the lowest single monthly ridership being 43 and the highest 47. As Raytheon pays its employees a $21 transit subsidy, the monthly pass cost for Raytheon employees is $109. Any non -Raytheon employee passengers pay $130. The contract provider, Mark IV, has accessible coaches available for use on the route if a person with disabilities purchases a monthly buspool pass. 000095 MORENO VALLEY - EL SEGUNDO BUSPOOL: Begun in February, 1996, the Moreno Valley to El Segundo - Raytheon buspool route includes stops at the Moreno Valley Mall and travels directly to its destination. The average monthly ridership for the current fiscal year is 42 passengers with the lowest single monthly ridership being 38 and the highest 47. As Raytheon pays its employees a $21 transit subsidy, the monthly pass cost for Raytheon employees is $1 19. Any non -Raytheon employee passengers pay $144. The contract provider, Mark IV, has accessible coaches available for use on the route if a person with disabilities purchases a monthly buspool pass. Like all of the commuter assistance incentives provided by the Commission to encourage commuters to use alternative modes of transportation, the Measure A $25/seat/month subsidy is administered as •a "user side subsidy." Unlike all of the other incentives, the buspool subsidy is provided for a 12 month period. This annual subsidy remains cost- effective in comparison to the typical public transit subsidy rate of 80%. While the monthly cost of each existing buspool varies according to the number of route miles and the resulting negotiated service price, the Commission's monthly subsidy represents an average rate of 21 %. When taking other factors into consideration such as the reduction of vehicles on Route 91 during morning peak periods, the number of vehicle miles saved and the elimination of mobile source emissions, the annual buspool subsidy is an effective use of Measure A commuter assistance funds. See Exhibit C for the vehicle miles traveled and cost analysis for the three buspools. The three existing buspools have completed all requirements for funding as set forth by the Commission including submittal of: 1) monthly ridership reports; 2) semi-annual operations status reports; and 3) annual funding continuation requests. These reports allow staff to monitor the activities of the buspools to track ridership levels, monitor marketing efforts, and ensure availability to persons with disabilities. The Commission's proposed FY 99/00 budget contains a line item in the amount of $ 56,400 to provide buspool subsidies. Based on the established monthly $1,175 buspool subsidy policy, the funds are sufficient to support the three existing buspools and one new buspool should a written request for funding assistance be received. Financial Assessment Project Cost 56,400 Source of Funds Measure A Included in Fiscal Year Budget Y Year Included in Program Budget Y Year Programed Approved Allocation Year of Allocation Budget Adjustment Required N Financial Impact Not Applicable OU009G PLANS & PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve, pursuant to its existing Measure A Commuter Assistance Buspool Subsidy Policy: 1) payment of $1,175/month for the period July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000 to the existing Riverside/Fullerton, Riverside/EI Segundo, and Moreno Valley/EI Segundo buspools, and one additional buspool upon receipt of a written request for subsidy support; and 2) continuation of the existing monthly and semi-annual buspool reporting requirements as support documentation to monthly subsidy payments.

Therefore, their minimum required fare revenue to operating expense ratio required by State Law falls somewhere between the 10% requirement for non -urbanized area services and the 20% requirement for urbanized area services. The commission is responsible for calculating the intermediate ratio. The methodology used to calculate the minimum ratio required was developed by the Commission and originally approved by the State in April 1980. The methodology is still applicable and is attached for your review. R=.1Cn+.2Cu Cn + Cu R = Required Ratio Cn = Costs of Services in Non -Urbanized Areas Cu = Costs of Services in Urbanized Areas The costs for new or expanded services are exempted from the calculation for the first two full years of operation. Using the above formula and the RTA and SunLine Short Range Transit Plans (SRTP), the minimum required ratios for the RTA and SunLine in FY 1999-2000 are 18.35% and 16.56%, respectively. Upon adoption of the required ratio by the Commission, Ca!trans must also approve the ratios. The ratios are then fixed for the year and cannot be changed even though actual revenues and expenses may differ from the SRTP estimates. 003103 PLANS & PROGRAMS COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission: 1) Approve the _FY 1999-2000 minimum required fare revenue to operating expense ratio of 18.35% for the Riverside Transit Agency and 16.56% for the SunLine Transit Agency; 2) Reaffirm the methodology used to calculate the required ratio; and 3) Request Caltrans' concurrence with the methodology and ratios for FY 1999- 2000.

Based on the latest annually adopted Short Range Transit Plan for Riverside County, the Riverside County:Transportation Commission with the cooperation of the transit operator will determine separately the operating cost of those transit services provided in non -urbanized areas and the operating cost of those services in urbanized areas. A. For the purpose of this calculation, the operating cost in the urbanized area shall include the cost of all fixed route lines, groups of fixed route lines, and demand responsive service operating entirely within an urbanized area. The operating cost in the non -urbanized area shall include the cost of all fixed route lines, groups of fixed route lines, and demand responsive service operating entirely within a non -urbanized area. B. For fixed route lines operating partly within an urbanized area and partly within a non -urbanized area, the cost shall be apportioned to the urbanized area costs ad non -urbanized area costs in proportion to the route miles in the non -urbanized area and the route miles in the urbanized area. C. For demand response systems serving both an urbanized area and a non -urbanized area, the cost shall be apportioned to urbanized area costs and non -urbanized area costs in proportion to the population of the urbanized area served and the population of the non -urbanized area served. - 00'3105 D. The cost of extension of public transit services pursuant to Section 99268.8 of the PUC shall not be included in any of these calculations. 11. The required ratio of fare revenues to operating cost in compliance with Public Utilities Code Sections 99268.3 and 99268.4 shall be calculated as follows: • R 7Cn + _9 rit Cn + Cu R is the required ratio. Cn is the operating cost in non -urbanized areas. Cu is the operating cost in urbanized areas. III. Annually, prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, the Riverside County Transportation Commission shall calculate the required fare revenue to operating cost ratio for each transit operator serving both urbanized and non - urbanized areas and submit this calculation to Caltrans. Caltrans shall approve the required ratio prior to the'.beginning of the fiscal year and the ratio shall not be subject _to change. *There are no operators in the Riverside County that are required to be in compliance with PUC Section 99268.2. There are no operators serving both an urbanized area and a non -urbanized area that had a fare revenue to operating cost ratio greater than one -fifth in urbanized areas or greater than one -tenth in non -urbanized areas during the 1978-79 fiscal year. 0IJC106 RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMM/SS/ON DATE: June 2, 1999 TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Budget & Implementation Committee Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager Susan Cornelison, Rail Program Manager Karl Sauer, Bechtel Resident Engineer THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: Authorization to Advertise for Construction Bids for Operational and Station Safety Improvements at the Downtown Riverside Metrolink Station Several station safety and operational improvements have been identified for the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station. The safety improvements relate to upgrading ADA access in the parking lot and resurfacing the parking lot where various projects have cut the pavement to remove any possible tripping hazzards. The operational improvements are .the addition of two new ADA access platforms near the middle of the new South Side Platform and the removal of the temporary platform near the north side Platform. These new ADA access platforms will allow Metrolink to load the trains nearer the middle of the platform adjacent to the elevator. Presently, the trains line up with one of the existing ADA access platforms at either end of the South Side platform. Because the trains that use the platform are sometimes cab forward and sometimes engine forward, different ends of the platform are being used for loading. This is causing confusion for the passengers. Since the dwell time for the trains stopping at the South Side Platform is very short, if the passengers are at the wrong end of the platform, they have difficulty getting to the other end quickly enough to catch the train. Now that the South Side Platform is in operation there is no longer a need to have the temporary platform on the north side. This platform was only needed until the South Side Platform was completed. As soon as BN&SF completes the work on the switches controlling access to the South Side Platform station track, the north side temporary platform can be removed and the median fence can be installed to prevent pedestrians attempting to cross the BN&SF triple track main lines between the North and South platforms. The following is a listing of the additional improvements required at the Downtown Riverside Metrolink Station: 000107 Improvement No. Description of Improvement Estimated Cost of Improvement 1 Rework Handicap Parking Area, in main and temporary parking lots, to bring up to current ADA standards. $25K to $30K 2 Slurry seal main entrances and drives in main parking lot. $25K to $30K 3 Re -Stripe main parking lot following ADA upgrades. $5K 4 Construct two new mini platforms, for handicap access near the elevators, on the South Side Platform. $20K to $25K 5 Remove the North Side temporary platform and re -install chain link fence and lighting. $20K to $25K Total $95K to $115K Staff has just completed the drawings and specifications required to obtain a bid for construction of the improvements. Staff at this time is requesting Commission authorization to advertise for construction bids for construction of the above identified station Improvements at the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station.

There were a total of 13,752 calls during the quarter; 8,325 to Inland CHP and 5,427 to Indio CHP dispatch offices. This represents a decrease of 2,030 calls or 12.9% in call box activity over the quarter ending December 31, 1998. The average calls per day were 153 for the current quarter versus 172 for the previous quarter. In comparing the quarter ending March, 1999 to March, 1998 call volumes, there has been a decrease of 2,013 calls (-12.1 %) from last year to this year. Unfortunately, all call box programs throughout the state have been experiencing a similar decrease in usage which may be attributed to less older vehicles on the highway due to strict insurance requirements.

It recognizes those agencies which prepare budgets that are considered exemplary. The budgets are evaluated using a comprehensive list of standards whereby the document must meet program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communication device. Once again, the Commission's 1998/99 Budget was submitted to GFOA and we were awarded the "Distinguished Budget Presentation". The award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. The attainment of this award represents a significant achievement by our organization, as the staff works together in a joint effort each year to present a comprehensive document of this type.

Capital outlay was increased by $30,000 to cover the costs of a clean fuel vehicle and a new postage machine. Finally, the contingency was increased by S98,000 to meet the Commission's requirement that the budget include a contingency equal to two percent of expenditures (less debt service). Revenues were slightly increased to reflect the additional matching funds to be received by the Commission as a result of the increased project costs. BUDGET & IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve the Proposed Budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. moo verside County Transportation Commission 3560 University Avenue Suite 100 • Riverside, California 92501 phone: (909)787-7141 • fax: (909)787--7920 • www.retc.org June 2,1999 Honorable Board of Commissioners Riverside County Transportation Commission Riverside, California Fiscal year 1999-2000 could well be termed the year of renewal. The Commission will be facing less than ten remaining years of Measure A, the half cent sales tax that transformed the Commission from a small, little known agency into the multi -million dollar transportation authority it is today. Where does it go from here? Efforts are already under way to address that question, and they will be intensified as fiscal year 2000 proceeds. The Commission's thirty members have the opportunity to forge a countywide transportation plan that will serve as the blueprint for the beginning of the 21 a2 century. The Board has demonstrated its determination to tackle the challenges facing Riverside County, and that it intends to proactively and aggressively seek solutions for improvements to the county's transportation infrastructure. LOOKING TO MEASURE A AND BEYOND The fiscal year budgeted expenditures of $111,720,906 continues the Commission's firm commitment to the completion of Measure A while embarking on new endeavors to meet the ever growing needs of Riverside County and to address issues confronting the County for the 21 st century. Measure A initiatives include improvements to Routes 74, 79, 91, and 111 with expenditures of over $16.5 million. The budget continues to leverage its Measure A investment in commuter rail. State and federal monies have been awarded to fund the more than $7.8 million in FY2000 expenditures on track and station improvements for the San Jacinto Branch Line, and the La Sierra, West Corona, and Pedley station sites. Though maintaining existing commitments, the Commission has sought to be responsive to the infrastructure needs in the County. The Commission is a major participant in an innovative and ground breaking program for developing new transportation corridors. This new undertaking, termed the Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP), seeks to unite all interested and affected stakeholders in an inclusive review and determination of potential new transportation corridors. The budget has allocated over $1.7 million to this effort in staff time and consultant studies. The CETAP effort dovetails with the Commission's strategic planning process. Initiated in FY99 with Phase I of the Plan, Phase II will be dedicated to analyzing future needs for the entire county and ascertaining available resources. Potential new revenue sources will be examined and a range of projects identified. 0 0139 BUILDING A REGIONAL APPROACH The importance of regional cooperation and coordinated approaches to building transportation solutions has never been greater. In recognition of that reality, additional resources and staffing have been assigned in FY2000. An entire program area, Regional Issues, has been created along with a management level staff person (actually created in FY99), the Director of Communications and Regional Issues, to provide an intensified focus on partnering•relationships and devising joint strategies for addressing regional issues. Resources totaling more than a quarter million dollars have been identified in the, budget to fund this program area. Additionally, the_efforts of other management and professional staff will be heightened to build upon improved working relationships with the Commission's local and regional partners and to arrive at solutions based on a broad consensus. A prime example of the Commission's commitment to working closely with its partners to achieve common goals is the unique effort between the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) and the Commission. Embarked upon in the FY 1998/99 budget, the Commission and SANBAG will continue to share a staff member to oversee the state and federal legislative agendas of the two agencies. This arrangement has proven successful in carrying a united message to state and federal lawmakers. It has further served to increase the influence of the Inland Empire in the formation of legislation beneficial to the region. Although not the primary focus of this shared effort, both agencies expect to reap the benefits of reduced costs while attaining greater legislative effectiveness. ACHIEVING AND COMMUNICATING RESULTS This budget reflects a stronger emphasis on training and development. A directed and organized approach to improving the skills of employees through formalized training will be instituted. Recognizing that the historical results and performance of the Commission can only be' maintained. with motivated, dedicated, and well trained staff, two management staff members will coordinate and facilitate a comprehensive staff training program. Managers will attend classes designed to sharpen their leadership skills. Support staff will be given specialized training in spreadsheet and graphic design software to improve their skill level and the quality of their support. Communicating to others what the Commission has accomplished and what it plans to do is a high priority for the 2000 fiscal year and the years to come. The Commission can be proud of its record and the public, other agencies, and policy makers will be kept continually informed on Commission activities and accomplishments. A Public Information Officer will be hired shortly after the beginning of the new fiscal year and will be responsible for the establishment of a 0 .11 4rr) media relations program. Various forms of media will be used to communicate to the public what the Commission does and its value to the County. This educational process will be a critical element in fostering public support for the Commission's programs and, its future endeavors. GFOA Distinguished .Budget Award The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an award of Distinguished Budget Presentation of the Riverside County Transportation Commission for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1998. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communication device. The award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. Acknowledgments A new direction for budget preparation and completion invigorated all staff to achieve greater accountability and involvement in the process. Staff, to create a budget that presents its vision and goals in a comprehensive and straightforward manner, devoted many long hours and late nights. Staff appreciates the leadership of the Commissioners and the sense of renewal they have inspired. Eric Haley Dean Martin Executive Director Chief Financial Officer 000141 PROPOSED RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION OU0142 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 060143 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Proposed Budget for fiscal year 1999/2000 is herewith presented to the Board of Commissioners and the citizens of Riverside County. The organization of the budget has changed from prior year budgets to place a greater emphasis on department and program functions. The discussion in each department/program area has been revised to now include a review of major initiatives and key assumptions. Though the budget is a very comprehensive document, staff believes its value and usefulness to readers has been enhanced by these changes. In addition to the Commission's long term goals and strategic plan, the short term factors listed below were used to guide the development of the Proposed Budget: Operational • Encourage greater department involvement in budget development and accountability for budget performance. • Continue the Commission tradition of a relatively small staff, understanding relative in the context of need. • Improve on the skills and training of all levels of staff. • Improve communication with Commissioners and educate policy makers on all issues of importance to the Commission. Financial • Maintain administrative costs below the policy threshold of 4%. As part of that effort, the manner in which project versus administrative costs were classified has been changed to reflect only what is truly administrative and to ensure full costing of project and program requirements. • Continue to maintain prudent reserves to provide some level of insulation for unplanned expenditures. • Use the sales tax revenue projections as reviewed by Ernst & Young LLP. to predict the available sales tax revenues. • Look for opportunities, funding sources, and innovative approaches to address County needs that extend beyond Measure A. • • Move forward on Measure A projects for highways and regional arterial using both sales tax revenues and state and federal funding. Leverage and protect the past Measure A investments in rail to obtain state and federal funding for additional rail improvements. Budget Overview Total revenues are budgeted at $100,452,201.Total projected remaining fund balance at June 30, 1999 available for expenditures, (exclusive of debt service reserves of $23,827,487, loans receivables for $14,774,221, and prepaid lease for $1,026,372) is $41,569,809. Total funding sources amount to $142,022,010. All revenue categories, with the exception of Other Revenues (down .3%) are budgeted at higher amounts than the prior year. The increase In Measure A sales tax revenue is indicative of the strength exhibited in the Riverside County economy. Reimbursements are up, principally from federal sources, to fund rail capital (Measure A revenues are not available for rail operations or capital projects).

Administrative costs are budgeted at $2,558,207, program expenditures total $78,582,475, and $30,580,224 has been reserved for the payment of debt service. Project costs have increased 14.2% from $63,436,710 to $73,588,055. The increase is a result of increased highway expenditures, particularly for Route 74, rail station construction projects, and Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP) studies. The increase in expenditures is partially offset by a decline in the regional arterial expenditures. The decline is a function of depleted reserves (i.e., bond funds have been exhausted). 063145 Program Expenditure Comparative 1996-2000 1996 1997 1998 1999 (est) 2000(proj) Highway 15,298,196 20,208,833 11,410,318 9,377,826 18,040,443 Commuter Rail 10,387,335 6,455,881 11,144,126 8,872,919 14,165,234 Regional Arterial 24,724,467 23,115,405 21,035,529 10,068,505 4,230,599 Streets 8 Roads RR 21,310,988 22,240,185 24,382;462 26,579,715 28,172,108 Commuter Assistance 1,132,286 1,101,415 1,312,435 1,604,970 1,709,730 Special Transportation 3,794,912 4,001,072 5,125,364 5,273,262 5,759,782 Motorist Assistance 1,405,172 1,741,382 1,519,114 1,543,880 1,988,950 Other 3,558,641 3,447,602 3,929,372 6,354,345 7,073,835 Debt 25,327,762 25,208 531 74,344,388 30,352,217 30,580,224 Total 106,939,759 107,520,306 _ 154,203,108 100,027,639 111,720,905 Note: Other includes Management Services, Finance, Planning/Programming and Regional Issues Commission Personnel: The Commission's salary and fringe benefits totals $2,206,299.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION June 2, 1999 DATE: TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission FROM: Plans & Programs Committee Jerry Rivera, Program Manager THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director SUBJECT: FY 2000-2006 Short Range Transit Plan The Riverside County FY 2000-2006 Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) covers the three apportionment areas of the county and is comprised of plans for the municipal operators, the Riverside Transit Agency, SunLine Transit Agency, Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency, and Regional Commuter Rail. In the development of the Plan, the operators are using the new schedules and format approved by the Commission on January 13, 1999, along with the Productivity Improvement Plan. Consequently, not all of the operators were able to complete their plans in time for submission to the Citizens' Advisory Committee for review. However, in order to meet other reporting requirements (e.g. Regional Transportation Improvement Program), staff was directed to move forward for Commission approval with those plans that have been submitted. The Plans for Banning, Beaumont, Corona, Riverside Special Services, and SunLine Transit Agency were reviewed by the Commission's Citizens' Advisory Committee on May 17, 1999, and they were supportive of the proposed changes included in the SRTP. Following is a summary of service highlights: City of Banning The Cabazon Express route will be discontinued and service in the area will be provided by rerouting the fixed route to provide greater access to Cabazon and Banning commercial areas. Although headways will increase from 60 to 90 minutes, passengers will actually spend less time on the bus. City of Beaumont The fixed route implemented in mid-FY 99 is programmed to continue in FY 2000. Both fixed route and dial -a -ride service will be expanded to Saturdays and begin two hours earlier in the morning and run one hour later in the evening.. 000157 City of Corona In order to meet their required fare ratio of 20% without the use of Measure "A" funds, the city will conduct fare increase public hearings in conjunction with planned service change hearings to solicit input in the upcoming fiscal year. Additional service will be provided to the Metrolink station, and the city is reviewing plans to operate two community fixed routes to meet the growing transportation needs within new.. housing developments. Should the fixed routes be implemented, the general public dial -a -ride would be changed to elderly and handicapped service. The city will return to the Commission before.the end of the calendar year to amend its SRTP to allow for these service and fare changes. Riverside Special Services The city terminated its service to the County Regional Medical Center in Moreno Valley in March 1999, but they have received only 5 requests for rides since the program change. Those passengers have been provided transportation to an RTA route serving the medical center. The eight hours previously used for the service was added to the continuing dial -a -ride service. No significant changes are planned for FY 2000. SunLine Transit Aqencv SunLine's SRTP proposes a $12,155,000 budget, an increase of $1,046,000 over FY 1999. The increase will support improvements to Line 111 by increasing hours by 12% and adding limited -stop service during the tourist season; increase service on Line 30 by 15% with the addition of one bus 8 hours/day, 5 days per week; adding one a.m. and one p.m. trip on Saturday to the Palm Springs Tramway on Line 24; implementing the SunLink service; and adding one expansion paratransit vehicle to the fleet to increase dial -a -ride capacity. The capital budget includes $680,000 for two new expansion buses, as well as routine maintenance, computer and office equipment. (As a reminder, the Commission approved SunLine's request to amend their FY 1998-99 SRTP to purchase 19 used CNG buses at its special meeting on May 24, 1999. Seven of the buses were originally programmed in the FY 1999-2000 SRTP but have been deleted.) Also, this is the second year they are programming $300,000 to allow the purchase of three replacement buses in FY 2001. The budget also includes $385,000 for 6 replacement and one expansion paratransit vehicles.

Due to ridership increases of 15% in recent months, this will allow for additional ridership growth, as well as ensuring the on -time performance of the line. This service is planned to begin in October 1999. • Line 111 - addition of "Quick" service. This is proposed to operate initially during the tourist season. Service will be provided from Indio to Palm Desert and back, and alternately, from Palm Springs to Palm Desert and back. This service will most likely operate November to May. • Line 30 - addition of 4 round trips, 5 days a week, 8 hours daily. The Line 30 currently accounts for 18% of system ridership, and the increase in service will allow for additional ridership growth. This service is planned to begin in October 1999. • Line 24 - addition of one a.m and one p.m. trip on Saturday to the Palm Springs Tramway. This service will be evaluated to determine if there is interest in additional trips. This service is planned to begin in July 1999. • SunLink - implementation of service from the Coachella Valley to MetroLink stations in Riverside and San Bernardino. This service is planned to begin in Summer 1999. • SunDial — expansion of one paratransit vehicle for additional Dial -a -Ride capacity.

The Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Program was designed to address federal and state monitoring and reporting requirements. The program involves the purchase and installation of 'Smart' Call Boxes along the CMP network of roads and highways. It was recommended by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to develop a Pilot Project consisting of the purchase and installation of 10 Smart Call Boxes to evaluate the effectiveness of the 'Smart' Call Boxes, provide a cost/benefit analysis, identify any potential problems with the purchase and installation, evaluate the value of the data, and document the process to download and interpret the data. - The Smart Call Box Pilot Project was initiated in January 1999 and has now been completed. Attached is the "Evaluation of the Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Program - 'Smart' Call Box Pilot Program" report. The report's conclusions and recommendations are summarized as follows: ► 'Smart' Call Box technology can provide for significant improvements in the amount and quality of traffic count data for transportation planning, engineering, modeling, and funding allocation purposes. ► Utilizing the existing inductive loop infrastructure provides savings in Capital Costs. ► Speedy data conversions and archiving result in a reduction in staff time spent collecting and managing data. ► Level of Service calculations can be generated to reflect existing conditions due to the availability and ease of obtaining year-round count data. ouolbU Based on the Pilot Project evaluation, staff will request that the Commission authorize staff to submit a request to the California Transportation Commission for the allocation of programmed State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).funds for the purchase of additional 'Smart' Call Boxes to be installed on the CMP network. RCTC has $1.1 million programmed over fiscal years '99/00 and '00/01 for the purchase of Smart Call Boxes. The request for allocation will occur over the summer in the amount of $500,000. The Pilot Project Evaluation Report was presented to the TAC at their May 17, 1999 meeting. The TAC recommended approval of the Pilot Project and to move forward with staff's recommendation to proceed with implementation of the 'Smart' Call Box program.

This summary provides a review of the purpose of the Pilot Program, Program components, State/Federal and CMP traffic count collection requirements, required steps to implement the Program, Program evaluation including a cost comparison between Pilot Program Call Boxes and Conventional Program traffic count equipment, and Program conclusions. 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this summary report is to provide the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and other affected agencies with a clear understanding of the Enhanced Congestion Management Program (CMP) Traffic Monitoring Program in Riverside County utilizing `Smart' Call Boxes. This Evaluation has been prepared to reflect results of the `Smart' Call Box Pilot Program authorized by the Commission in September 1997. The Pilot Program involved the installation of ten (10) additional `Smart' Call Boxes in Riverside County. These 10 boxes plus the existing 10 boxes were used to identify actual `Smart' Call Box capital, installation, operating, and maintenance costs. In addition, the Pilot Program was developed to identify the ease of use of `Smart' Call Box and its components, operational constraints, and the quality of count data compared to conventional count/level of service processes. The Enhanced Count Program utilizes the existing Call Box infrastructure, thereby maximizing RCTC's investment in the County SAFE Program. In addition, the Enhanced Count Program constitutes compliance with the CMP Land Use Coordination Program. Previously, the Land Use Coordination Program focussed on the development and review of Traffic Impact Studies" to identify. CMP System deficiencies and required improvements. Having access to continuous and accurate data, as compared with incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated traffic data (manual or extrapolated counts from year to year counts or from three year count census programs), provides a more efficient and accurate means of enhancing transportation planning and engineering studies, developing and updating transportation models, and targeting scarce funding for transportation improvements. The Enhanced Count Program will also provide traffic monitoring suitable to meet the needs of the CMP and other State/Federal program requirements (Congestion Management System - CMS, Traffic Management System - TMS, Highway Performance Monitoring System - HPMS, etc.). To identify the extent of the monitoring system for Riverside County, the CMP System of Highways and Roads was reviewed to determine those locations where counts would be necessary in order to adequately monitor traffic. In addition, federal TMS and HPMS Program requirements were evaluated. Based upon that analysis, the primary types of data that could be collected using a `Smart' Call Box included traffic volume data and classification data. It is envisioned that Riverside County, in association with Caltrans, District 08 and local agencies, could expand the Smart Call Box program. This system will not only collect additional traffic data and utilize the data for CMP, CMS, l VRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 003164 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM •SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM Riverside County Transportation Commission TMS, and HPMS transportation management and monitoring efforts, but will also establish a vital ITS framework that future ITS implementation efforts can build upon. With the Swart Call Box Traffic Monitoring Program in place along CMP facilities in Riverside County, significant improvements can be made in the provision of quarterly and annual count data. This Program also could provide for a wide variety of transportation model input data and would enhance traffic LOS monitoring efforts. Moreover, Smart Call Boxes can be configured to provide a variety of other monitoring including adverse weather detection, vehicle classification, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) operations, and other similar functions. Transportation Management Centers (TMCs) and law enforcement agencies could also utilize data collected by Smart Call Boxes. Most decisions related to transportation planning and traffic engineering begin with `traffic counts.' Accurate traffic counts are mandatory in order to design, build, and update traffic models, conduct corridor studies, develop traffic impact assessments, and monitor LOS along the transportation system. Figure 1 below illustrates the important relationship between traffic counts and transportation planning, engineering, and the modeling process. As can be seen, success of transportation planning, engineering, and modeling is largely dependent upon the quality and quantity of accurate count data.

Efforts to streamline the CMP have led to opportunities to integrate this count data with other sources of traffic count information, thereby benefiting all users of the data. Caltrans, SCAG, the County of Riverside and other cities within Riverside County currently collect traffic counts. The 0u 165 2 VRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORIIYG PROGRAM •SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM Riverside County Transportation Commission combination of providing ready access to traffic count information, and actively working to coordinate traffic count programs, should decrease total expenditures to acquire this information while improving accessibility to the data. A review of existing traffic monitoring programs in the County including, the traffic counter infrastructure, travel demand, count equipment and staff operations, has been conducted considering the integration of `Smart' Call Box technologies as an ITS application (as described in the adopted 1998 Inland Empire ITS Early Deployment Plan). It has been shown, through the cost/benefit analysis that significant short- and long-term advantages will prevail with the use of `Smart' Call Boxes along CMP facilities. ' The Smart Call Box is a modified standard call box and wireless communication device often taking advantage of existing infrastructure. Existing infrastructure and traffic demand are two primary driving forces that help select appropriate locations for the implementation of Smart Call Boxes. Selection criteria for the existing infrastructure usually includes the location of regional count stations, pre -installed inductive loop detectors, cellular network configurations, physical conditions, input from RCTC, Caltrans, and local agency planners and engineers. These criteria facilitate the functional requirements of the various Smart Call Box components. Configuration of these components requires direct connections to inductive loop detectors installed in each lane of a roadway segment. A modified controller card with an integrated Diamond traffic tally counter facilitates the processing and storage of traffic volumes detected from the loop detectors. After a period of time, usually one (1) week, the traffic data is remotely downloaded through the Smart Call Box via the cellular network during specified time windows. The `Smart' Call Box is very similar to Caltrans' permanent traffic counter except that downloading the data occurs through a modem call via the cellular network to the .`Smart' Call Box. Currently, Caltrans manually retrieves or downloads the data in the field at the count location site to a computer. Figure 2 depicts the `streamlined' process using a `Smart' Call Box connected to loops or to infrared traffic detectors. FIGURE 2 - `SMART' CALL BOX COMPONENTS Modified Proeessor MI1111 Overpass Source: VRPA Technologies 3 VRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 000166 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM 'SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM Riverside Cowry Transportation Commission Smart Call Boxes have a capacity to perform a variety of other data collection tasks. Depending on the specific needs in Riverside County, Smart Call Boxes can be configured to record vehicle classifications, incident detection/viewing (CCTV sites), weather monitoring, etc. Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) and law enforcement agencies could also take advantage of the data collected by Smart Call Boxes. Under a Smart Call Box Program, RCTC, acting as the CMA, would be in a position to manage a comprehensive data base filled with enhanced travel data needed by its own planners and engineers and by various other agencies and organizations. Pilot Program Components ♦ Install 10 additional `Smart' Call Boxes (10 boxes currently exist). ♦ Monitor `Smart' Call Box sites along the State Highway System. ♦ Collect count data at each location over a 2-week period. ♦ Evaluate the count data and provide 24-hour counts. ♦ Evaluate the count data and provide LOS results using VRPA Technologies' Counts Manager Program. ♦ Identify resulting capital, installation, operating, and maintenance costs. 2.0 PILOT PROGRAM - IMPLEMENTATION ➢ STEP 1 — Identify Pilot Program 'Smart' Call Box Locations and Infrastructure The locations and infrastructure of the `Smart' Call Boxes that have been installed for the Pilot Program were determined through a balance of existing infrastructure and legislative needs. The existing infrastructure of motorist aid focused Call Boxes served as the platform from which a natural extension of a `Smart' Call Box infrastructure could be built. With these potential physical sites in hand, the existing Call Box infrastructure it was then overlaid with the needs of the Riverside County Congestion Management Program (CMP). Potential Smart Call Box locations were identified based upon a set of selection criteria including: ♦ Interstate and Federal routes; ♦ availability and location of existing loop detectors; ♦ Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT); and ♦ the location and quantity of temporary and permanent count stations/hardware per site. An initial group of `Smart' Call Boxes have already been installed and have been operating since 1997. The first set of ten (10) `Smart' Call Boxes in Riverside County are currently collecting traffic volume count data along I-215, I- 10, SR 60, SR 74, SR 79, SR 86, and SR 243 (reference Figure 3). The data from these sites have been collected, downloaded and stored on a monthly basis since 1997. An additional set of ten, for a total of twenty (20) `Smart' Call Boxes have been commissioned for the Pilot Program (reference Figure 3). ➢ STEP 2 —'Smart' Call Box Installation Procedures Preliminary Site Evaluation Preliminary Site Evaluation involves checking the proposed `Smart' Call Box locations for functionality. This entails testing the loops to ensure all are working properly, opening the Traffic Cabinet to check connections to the Terminal Block (to identify the possibility of tying into Caltrans loop connections), and making sure the physical site is ready 0� �6/ 4 VRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 ��ZIDonowosz d.A o,106 Ql � - J000.16 'PAS Mein � " '9rM " 10011k09 0 10010-9I AOIDAA+s40JO'3 BrM-CVOO-0l 16 MO 'S 95 - C IIi091 16 'kJ 10 'N :SJN " OLV091 :IMiO ko+S 0 9M - 9C90" Ill 91.110'3 VOA 9L00-16 91-I 10 M - CL00-16 1S DPW 0 :WI 9900- l6 (6660 tlini6c1d !Glad SNOUV S 09 ThM JO 'N :9rS " 1r91099 woman 00'S:9M - SOLD-SPC lS ePIS J0 "N :9JN - LCC0.6L 09 11J JO'S:aM " 06C0-91C '1400:3 OUIDUAlJ b 'N 33/N " OdCO-91 C IL "kJ JO 'N :9Rd - 99L0-91 L 01-110 'Al :91M - C000-09 1S uPVI :OA-1110-09 91.10'319-9L10-VL PucKJ 10 'M :913- �%1101.1 WOJEc+1d xc8 noo paw (16614 fuIVsix3 xoa Two (6661 uotolpJ<41 R+cJ6001 i6nOo JCB PO OXUS um16014fold (L661 Pe1PW) gplP bl klooO u39 PO .WiuS 64PG waist MO w SUPP1811,1 1110126 di30 uo 00,61131H O ON3931 .AlNnoo 3019.J3A121 NI SNOINDO1 XO811VO 12JWVS vo0, o.��"' -c E; e. g r EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM `SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM • Riverside Corny Transportation Co nunitsion for `Smart' Call Box installation. Also, identifying site type is important when considering how to mount the pole and house the `Smart' Call Box unit. Testing `Smart' Call Box infrastructure is another important part of the installation process. Loops, cellular transceiver, CDG component, and the traffic counters must be working properly. Finally, the cellular transceiver must be programmed with a cellular phone number that can be remotely dialed into via the CDG to access the counter in the field Field Installation Once the Site evaluation and the `Smart' Call Box components have been successfully tested, they arc now ready for field installation. Installation of the CDG `Smart' Call Box takes several hours. The cost of installation is included in the cost of the `Smart' Call Box. This assumes that all necessary components have been checked and are working properly before field installation. The first step in field installation is to upgrade the original Motorist Aid Patrol (MAP) Call Box (reference Appendix A) to an enhanced `Smart' Call Box (reference Appendix B). The next step is to replace the solar panel with a larger, stronger solar panel to accommodate recharging of the upgraded battery in the `Smart' Call Box. Wire connection runs from the solar panel, down the inside of the pole, and is eventually fastened to the `Smart' Call Box. Loop connection is the next step in the field installation process. Once all road tubes are marked, it is then time to cut each cable to establish the tie-in. The road tube connection is the final field installation step. Once complete, the `Smart' Call Box should have power (produced by the upgraded battery and larger, stronger solar panel), a remote cellular connection (via the cellular transceiver and it's cellular phone number), connection to the road tubes (via the installation procedures as stated above), resulting in access to traffic count data 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. ➢ STEP 3 — Information Downloading Procedures Once field installation has been successful, the next step is to establish a computer connection to the `Smart' Call Box. To do this, there are several hardware and software components that will be needed. Diamond's Trafman is a PC -based software program that allows the user to program, recover, and process files from traffic counters. It will process counter data in count, speed, and axle bins. Furthermore, Trafman will calculate AM and PM peak how periods, peak day, peak how factors, averages per how, ADTs, speed percentiles, and applies seasonal and correction factors to data. The versatility of Trafman is difficult to match, and the set is relatively straightforward and user friendly. Another software component that will be needed is called TrafModem (a.ka. TT -Link). This software program allows connection via modem to a field counter, and retrieves data through this connection. TrafModem is an.integral component to the `Smart' Call Box data downloading process. The TraNadem connection provides for one of the best telephone modem communication packages in the industry today. Once software installation has been completed, the next step in the downloading process is to dial into the .`.Smart' Call Box and retrieve information. The time associated with this process is 11 minutes. Sample data from this process is provided in Appendix C. ➢ STEP 4 - Information Conversion Procedures Conversion of the raw data into an appropriate format for evaluation using the `Smart' Call Box Counts Manager is required. `Smart' Call Box traffic count data is stored and downloaded in a binned format. The conversion from a binned format to textual format allows the Counts Manager to process the information. The data conversion software 000165 6 VRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM'sMAItr CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM • Riverside County Transportation COMMi/TiOn is an enhanced Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with enabled macros that reformats raw Call Box data into usable data for the Counts Manager. Raw binned files are converted into specialized text files that are now ready for uploading to the `Smart' Call Box Counts Manager. The time associated with this process is fast, ranging from 1 to 2 minutes. Sample results are included in Appendix D. ➢ STEP 5 - Information Uploading Procedures Once the data conversion software saves the `Smart' Call Box traffic count data as text files, data can be analyzed in the Counts Manager. In the Counts Manager, a number of peak volume characteristics are derived from the traffic count data. These various characteristics are considered vital inputs in transportation computer modeling and LOS monitoring efforts. The Counts Manager application identifies `peak' characteristics as a documented `worst case' traffic volume condition. Peak volume characteristics include: ♦ 15-minute intervals aggregated by directional split; ♦ 1-hour intervals aggregated by directional split; ♦ estimated ADT and AADT for weekly and monthly time intervals; ♦ temporal graphs for daily, weekly, and annual (seasonal variations); ♦ Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) Based LOS Tables segment LOS estimation; ♦ peak hour (daily only); ♦ peak rates of flow; ♦ peak hour volumes; ♦ peak hour factors; ♦ D-factors; ♦ K-factors; and ♦ true ADT and AADT. Data received and processed by the Counts Manager averages worst case conditions over several time intervals that include hourly, subhourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annually (reference Figure 4). Traffic census and LOS outputs can also be printed directly from the applications and bound for hard copy documentation saving considerable time and expense. The approxim_ ate time needed to develop a peak hour count (both directions) and LOS estimate is S minutes. Sample results are provided in Appendix E. 3.0 `SMART' CALL BOX MONITORING PROGRAM DATA EVALUATION The purpose of this section is to provide a detailed evaluation of the `Smart' Call Box Pilot Program. To provide this necessary evaluation, an analysis of `Smart' CaII Box risks, Pilot Program costs versus conventional count program costs, and a comparison of `Smart' Call Box and LOS results versus conventional count program data has been developed. 7 YRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 000170 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM `SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM Riverside County Transportation Commission FIGURE 4 - CALL BOX COUNT MANAGER DATA MANAGEMENT AND OUTPUT Yteaget Roadside Taming pRT) at Den Oily Sandakan Roadside Taman(SRT) Dan road or ASCOT d Rle: (IS ne •waaeae•aeasOW • •• 15 le • Al a -70 - • • R ft a • • a It tl • • 79 rl n • • a . le OS • tl R 70 • • 40 7, 74.....• • a H R •I STEP 1 Traffic Data Collection Source: YRPil Technologies sem i • w4•4•e1m6w•O-4 13•4••••••1/144•Wwe .

Among the areas to discuss are the results of earlier ITS Call Box efforts, difficulties experienced during earlier phases of the RCTC `Smart' Call Box program, the current status and functionality of the ITS Call Box compliance with federal CMS and TMS requirements, and the applicability of other technologies that may impact the need for Call Boxes or `Smart' Call Boxes. ➢ Risk: If there are associated integration and technical risks that may impact project success, they can be attributed to computer maintenance, ITS Call Box problems, and/or Diamond Traffic Counter problems. Computer maintenance problems may arise when new software upgrades become available, outdating the previous software. ➢ Solution: These `add -on' modules enhance the performance of the software, thus maintaining the state -of- . the —art traffic data collection system. YRPA Technologies May 17, 1999 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM `SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM Riverside County Transportation Commission ➢ Risk: Other computer problems that may arise are computer crashes, software/hardware glitches, modem connection hang-ups, and driver malfunction ➢ Solution: All of these problems are avoidable if the system is set up and maintained properly. ITS Call Box problems may be associated with the call -in windows. Currently, there are two windows (time ranges) that `Smart' Call Box information can be downloaded; 9:00-9:45am and 11:00-11:30am. Problems will arise if there is not enough time to download `Smart' Call Box information (as the system increases, so too does the data). To bypass this problem, the `Smart' Call Box operator either widens the window, or accesses the Call Boxes at greater intervals. Another technical risk associated with the `Smart' Call Box is the Diamond Traffic Counter. ➢ Risk: The traffic counter may shut off intermittently, leaving gaps in the data collection. ➢ Solution: To avoid this problem, the traffic counter firmware and/or hardware should be updated. Assuming the `Smart' Call Box has been installed and is operational, traffic count data is stored in the Call Box Phoenix Counter. The Phoenix counter is currently configured to download data on a quarterly basis, as this is the minimum traffic monitoring requirements as part of the CMP mandate. Also, memory in the Call Box can store months of information, thereby eliminating the need to download data more regularly. ➢ Risk: Other technologies that may impact the need for Call Boxes or `Smart' Call Boxes include the enhanced use of cellular phones for purposes of motorist aid. If cellular phones become available to a majority of the public, the use of Call Boxes may be reduced or eliminated. ➢ Solution: Currently, the industry does not envision access on the part of a majority of the public to cellular phones within the near future. Further, technological advances will be necessary in order to eliminate spots or locations where cellular service is either not available or the signal is not strong enough to enable a call. Potential Administrative Risks ➢ Risk: If the Enhanced CMP Traffic Monitoring Program using `Smart' Call Boxes is not implemented, Riverside County could be found in non-compliance with the CMP; specifically, the Land Use Coordination Program. Non-compliance would also set the stage for a finding of non-compliance with federal CMS requirements for the entire SCAG region. In addition, the current traffic count program lacks the number and frequency of traffic count data that is needed to monitor the CMP System. ➢ Solution: The monitoring data is not only needed to comply with CMS and TMS requirements, but it is also needed to identify those primary locations along the CMP System that should be targeted for improvement and funding. 3.2 COST BENEFIT ASSESSMENT Results of the Pilot Program provided the data and other information necessary to update the cost/benefit analysis provided in Table 1. Table 1 examines the Capital, Operational, and Maintenance costs associated with utilizing conventional type permanent and temporary traffic counters (hose counters, card counters and permanent count equipment) versus a program focusing on the utilization of `Smart' can Box technologies. From a capital cost standpoint, 5 permanent and 5 temporary counters under the Conventional Count Program and 10 `Smart' Call Boxes under the Pilot Program are assumed to be purchased. 9 VRF'A Technologies May 17, 1999 ' u �'11 EVALUATION OF THE ENIIANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM 'SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM 0 Riverside County Transportation Commission f--". -1I TABLE 1 SUMMARY: CONVENTIONAL COUNT VS SMART CALL BOX PROGRAM COSTS 10 COUNTERS PLACED AT CURRENT PILOT PROGRAM SITES Reference Tables 1 end t In Appendix F for Anther explanation end detail of applied oasis CONVENTIONAL COUNT PROGRAM COSTS SMART CALL BOX PROGRAM COSTS Site Location Count Location Total No. of Lanes Freewayl Convent.

The cost/benefit analyses is considered to be a `worst case' scenario since it is likely that costs will be reduced given the availability of existing loop detectors along the Congestion Management Program (CMP) System and the likelihood that bulk purchase and installation of `Smart' Call Boxes for Phase 1 and 2 of the CUP Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Programs will result in further cost savings. Referencing the Table, the Proposed `Smart' Call Box Program will definitely result in significant cost savings (on an annual or ten-year basis), especially when compared to those costs associated with conventional count program operations. The Proposed `Smart' Call Box costs are lower than providing for an Enhanced Traffic Monitoring Program utilizing conventional counter equipment. The costs associated with purchase and installation of greater than 10 boxes at any one time should provide significant cost savings. Costs estimated for purposes of this Pilot Program do not assume such bulk purchase/installation savings. 3.3 `SMART' CALL BOX VS CONVENTIONAL COUNT PROGRAM In order to validate data collected by a `Smart' Call Box, conventional methods (e.g., manual volume counts, machine tube counts, floating car runs, etc.) of collecting traffic volume data can be utilized. On May 4, 1999, conventional methods of counting were utilized to test `Smart' Call Box Station #74-0176, which is located on State Route 74, just east of Interstate 15. Traffic volumes were manually counted for the PM Peak Period between 4 and 6 PM. These volumes were then compared to data collected for the same day and time period using the `Smart' Call. Data from both methodologies were nearly identical; the `Smart' Call Box counted a total of 2600 vehicles, while staff counted a total of 2659 vehicles over the same 2 hour period. The difference in volumes may be due to human error. Over the two-hour period, with a 95% level of confidence, the volumes are statistically insignificant. Floating car runs were also performed at Smart Call Box Station # 74-0176 to identify delay, which can then be equated to a Level of Service (LOS). This analysis indicated that there was no change in the delay when comparing the Counts Manager output with the floating car run delay analysis. A LOS B resulted in both cases. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS It has been shown that utilizing `Smart' Call Boxes as an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology, can provide for significant improvements in the amount and quality of traffic count data for transportation planning, engineering, modeling, and funding allocation purposes. Moreover, traffic count data management and results, as well as Level of Service (LOS) analyses can be directly linked to `Smart' Call Box monitoring efforts and transportation modeling programs to significantly reduce staff' operations costs. In addition, the Enhanced CMP Traffic Monitoring Program using `Smart' Call Boxes can aid agencies in monitoring the street and highway system to determine remaining capacity and determining how well an individual facility or the entire system is operating. There are clearly significant short- and long-term advantages by utilizing `Smart' Call Boxes. Utilization of the existing infrastructure to streamline the installation of `Smart' Call Boxes and thereby reduce Capital Costs is highly recommended.

Moreover, the `Smart' Call Box employs computer technology for speedy data conversions and archiving, resulting in greatly reduced staff time spent collecting and managing data Year-round count data is also extremely vital in properly generating model output and Level of Service (LOS) estimations that reflect existing conditions; especially for purposes of addressing CMP and federal CMS, TMS, and HPMS requirements. A description of these requirements is provided in Appendix G. More importantly, `Smart' Call Box implementation means that RCTC, Caltrans, and other agencies will have a working motorist aid infrastructure (with call boxes) and an established ITS backbone that can be integrated with other transportation management and information technologies. 4.1 ADVANTAGES The benefits of implementing a Smart Call Box system go beyond the region's ability to enhance it's existing regional count program. If a Smart Call Box system exists, that means an extensive call box network and motorist aid system is in place. Moreover, an important ITS backbone has been established through which future ITS strategies can be deployed and built upon. The Smart Call Box however, is an integrated data collection tool that aids in regional transportation management efforts and can provide up-to-date traveler information to broadcast services and other transportation agencies and centers. In addition, Smart Call Boxes have certain fiscal and operational advantages including: ♦ a one-time materials and installation fee; ♦ reduced staff time utilized for operation and maintenance; ♦ `Smart' Call Boxes can download traffic counts 365 days a year thereby providing the ability to continually monitor system operations and the amount of remaining capacity along congested facilities; ♦ all Smart Call Boxes are permanent; ♦ automatic data archiving and conversion; ♦ CCTV, vehicle classification, adverse weather and incident detection; ♦ low operational, capital, and maintenance costs (short and long-term costs to implement and maintain the `Smart' Call Box system are less than costs associated with conventional counting methods. Additional costs associated with Smart Call Box implementation can also be reduced through the utilization of existing infrastructure and phased implementation based upon previously mentioned Smart Call Box location and selection criteria; ♦ reasonable capital and maintenance costs; ♦ implementation of the `Smart' Call Box system will ensure compliance with CMP and federal and State monitoring requirements; ♦ the `Smart' Call Box system enhances the local investment made in the SAFE program by using the existing Call Box infrastructure; and ♦ the `Smart' Call Box system implements a project contained in the Inland Empire ITS Strategic Deployment Plan. As a fixed structure, the Smart Call Box collects data year-round. Data transfer is streamlined through utilization of existing cellular networks. A data conversion tool (the Counts Manager application) further automates the process through data archiving and data conversion. This greatly reduces the amount of staff time needed to . operate traditional equipment and manage vast amounts of traffic data. 01) 3 /' J 12 VRPA Technologiu May 17, 1999 EVALUATION OF THE ENHANCED TRAFFIC MONITORING PROGRAM 'SMART' CALL BOX PILOT PROGRAM Riverside Cowry Transportation Commission 4.2 NEXT STEPS The great majority of data that is collected for the CMP Traffic Monitoring Program is traffic volume data. In order to implement a traffic monitoring process, it is necessary to define a number of strategic traffic volume count locations to provide the necessary information at a minimum cost. In order to establish the CMP Traffic Monitoring Program, it was necessary to define a system of roadway links on which data will be collected. Due to the limited availability of traffic count data, it is envisioned that the Phase 1 of the Traffic Monitoring Program should include a minimal system of roadway links (90 links or stations) on which limited data will be collected. Later on, the Program can be expanded to include additional roadway links (290 links or count stations — Phase 2), more frequent count intervals, and the collection of additional data. Phase 1 (Minimum) System Components ♦ Monitor each CMP roadway link between intersections/interchanges with other CMP roadways. ♦ Count each location quarterly (four times per year). ♦ Collect twenty-four hour counts, by direction. ♦ Estimated number of count locations: ' ■ Caltrans: 60 • Riverside County: 15 ▪ City of Riverside: 15 ■ Coachella Valley: Retain existing count program ♦ Includes 10 existing and 10 Pilot Program `Smart' Call Boxes.

In an effort to continue the Commission's commitment to program a portion of the available Surface Transportation Program (STP) to the local agencies, staff has met with most of the local agencies to identify projects to program over the duration of TEA 21 (Fiscal years 99/00 - 02/03). Typically, STP local program projects have consisted of projects that are exempt from conformity analysis (i.e. rehabilitation/resurfacing, signal installs, intersection improvements, and shoulder widening). A project listing will be distributed at the meeting. Although there is no deadline to program STP local program funds, the funds are available beginning fiscal year 99/00. Local agencies may submit projects later but will be programmed in the outer years. The project listing -will be included in the next administrative amendment to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) which will be due to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) on July 2, 1999. 000177 Financial Assessment Project Cost Source of Funds Surface Transportation Program Included in Fiscal Year Budget n/a Year Included in Program Budget n/a Year Programed 99/00 - 02/03 Approved Allocation n/a Year of Allocation Budget Adjustment Required n/a Financial Impact Not Applicable Y BUDGET & IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission approve the TEA 21 Surface Transportation Program Local Program for fiscal years 99/00-02/03, and to include the projects in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program.

The Commission desired an analysis of existing services supported with Measure A Specialized Transit funds as well as feedback on whether the funds were being used effectively, whether their were opportunities to make better use of existing resources, and suggestions for program improvements. As you will recall, in the western Riverside County, 2.5 % of Measure A revenues are identified for specialized transit services. Over $9.8 million in specialized transit fund have been programmed since the Measure was passed. The funds have been used to support an array of transit services for seniors, persons with disabilities, and the truly needy in western Riverside County. The Commission's goal for this program was to provide service for these groups in areas where public transit was simply unable to cost effectively operate due to low population densities, long trip lengths, or specialized needs of the riders. AMMA has completed their review of this .program using a variety of evaluation techniques. Included in your agenda packet is an Executive Summary of their report for your review. A copy of the entire report is available upon request. The consultants will be present at the meeting to present an overview of their findings as well as proposed Strategic Plan including program goals, objectives and work plan elements.

INTRODUCTION This study was undertaken to provide direction to Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) policy makers and staff regarding the future of the Measure A Specialized Transit Program. The program is the result of the 1988 authorization by the Riverside County electorate to allocate one half -cent sale tax revenue to transportation issues. In response to a long-time commitment to meeting the special transit needs of seniors and persons with disabilities, the Commission established this Specialized Transit Program. Its goals are to improve transit access for Western Riverside County residents, particularly those in hard to serve rural areas, for inter -community travel and for riders with very special transit needs. The objectives of this study were: 1. To determine what, if any, levels of duplication of specialized transit services currently exist. 2. To identify areas and types of unmet specialized transit need in Western Riverside County and to propose related service goals and objectives for meeting these that the Commission might consider. 3. To identify tools to evaluate future Measure A Specialized Transit proposals by which to extend and enhance specialized transit operations. STUDY APPROACH This study included the following: • A performance review of program outcomes, based upon statistical and operating data of Measure A programs. • On -site operational assessments of five directly operated Measure A transportation services. • A demographics analysis of current and projected populations in Westem Riverside County that may require specialized transit services. • A consumer input program to obtain direction from potential customers as to improvements in specialized transit useful to them. Specialized Transit Analysis for Westem Riverside County 'noun fs1 Executive Summary DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE A PROGRAM Measure A awards have totaled between $1 million to $1.5 million annually, over the past five years. Awards all have the general goal of improving transit access for people with special mobility needs, these funds largely support programs and services operated by not -for -profit providers with limited funding to the public operators. The reasoning for this has been two -fold. One, not -for -profit, usually social service agencies have no other access to transit funds but can tap non -transit funding sources • for "match" purposes. Secondly, these agencies are sometimes more able to provide the personal assistance that these frail and special needs ridership groups may require.. . Over the past five years program awards have include the following (Exhibit A): • directly -operated specialized transit — transit services provided by not -for - profit agencies with a social service orientation • capital support — provided to not -for -profits for match on vehicle capital grants and to the public operators for selected projects. • TRIP mileage reimbursement program -- supported jointly with the Riverside County Office on Aging, this is a unique program that reimburses mileage costs when volunteers or neighbors transport frail elderly and younger persons with disabilities. • Fare subsidy and free bus ticket distribution programs — assisting one public operator in making its minimum fare box requirement and supporting the distribution of free bus tickets for emergency trip purposes. • Consumer training in use of fixed -route transit.

First, Measure A funds leverage other funding sources. The requirement that agencies match the Measure A award with outside dollars has brought funds from a wide array of sources that include: the Older Americans Act, Ryan White Care Act, United Way, Community Development Block Grants, city general funds, Inland Regional Center, various service club donations (Kiwannis, Lyon's and Optimists), an insurance company safety award, and private fund raising activities. The second theme is that Measure A funds support transportation services that reach out to persons who may not be covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA, enacted in 1990, changed the face of specialized transit with its requirement that public operators provide paratransit services complementary in hours and service areas to the fixed -route services and that they certify as eligible riders those persons who are "substantially disabled." Western Riverside County has, in response to the ADA, maintained an historical transit commitment to seniors and people with disabilities through RTA's local dial -a - ride system, while augmenting the local services with ADA-only intercity dial -a -rides. Measure A funds to not -for -profit agencies are intended to support transit services to special needs populations, where a human service orientation may better meet consumers' mobility needs, a focus not easily replicated by the public operators. Measure A funds contribute to a network of services to this broader population of seniors and people with disabilities. Westem Riverside County's response is commendable and increasingly unusual as many transit properties react to the considerable requirements of the ADA by retrenching and refocusing specialized transit services to only the ADA population. DEMOGRAPHIC FINDINGS Western Riverside County is growing. The 1998 population projections as reported in the Inland Empire Quarterly Economic Report (John Husing, July 1998) reflect 3.3% per annum regional rates of growth -- from 746,000 persons in 1990 to a 26.5% increase of 944,000 persons in 1998. The 2005 population of Western Riverside County cities and selected unincorporated communities is projected to be 1.2 million. Areas of the county reflect widely varying rates of growth, with the mid - county growing fastest, a 6.7% per annum growth rate, followed by the south county at 5.0% increases per annum. The population of potential users of specialized transit is defined as persons over age 651 and younger persons with mobility limitations, notably who need assistance in one or more activities of daily living, the latter a U.S. Census Bureau indicator. ' Although the transit properties include persons younger than age 65 as seniors, the breakdown of age categories in census data necessitate establishing 65 years as the cutoff for this analysis. Specialized Transit Analysis Western Riverside County v -000183 Executive Summary The potential specialized transit population amounts to 11 % of the total population of Western Riverside County, an estimated 105,000 persons (1998). The majority of this population is over age 65, with just a few under age 65 who have significant mobility impairments. As with growth rates, the distribution of these persons across the region varies considerably, highest in the mid -county communities of Hemet/ San Jacinto and in the: pass communities of Banning, Beaumont and Calimesa (Exhibit B).

This is a fluid group however, with seniors "aging" into it and/or out of it, with some younger disabled persons able to move about independently during some periods of their lives and less able as they grow older. PERFORMANCE, OPERATIONS ASSESSMENT AND SURVEY FINDINGS Five Measure A -funded transit programs provide 75,000 trips annually, about 13% of the 604,000 specialized transit trips provided in Western Riverside County in FY 98. Most specialized transit trips are provided by the public operators: RTA`s dial -a - rides provided almost 190,000 (31 %) and the municipally -operated services in Specialized Transit Analysis Western Riverside County obui84 vi Executive Summary Riverside, Corona, Banning and Beamont provided 340,000 trips (56%). Measure A -supported, not -for -profit providers are: Care -A -Van, the Family Services Association of Westem Riverside County, the Friends of Moreno Valley Senior Center, the Inland AIDS Project, Inc. and Transportation Specialists, Inc. 1. General Findings from On -Site Assessments On -site reviews of the five Measure A directly -operated services were conducted: to assess operating data reliability; to identify short-term improvements in policies and procedures; and to identify what further technical assistance might be required. • Operating and performance data reported quarterly to RCTC varies significantly between operators definition and accuracy. Data procedures need to be specified and performance measures clamed. • Except for the South Loop and InterLlNK services operated by Transportation Specialists, Inc., the services assessed demonstrate a pronounced "social service" orientation, emphasizing client assistance over operational efficiency. These services meet special customer needs which public transit sometimes has difficulty addressing. • There are significant differences in the policies and procedures being used to schedule and operate the reviewed services. All five services could be improved to increase efficiency, operating performance and service quality. • To varying degrees, technical assistance could be beneficial to these systems in specified management and operational areas. 2. General Findings from Performance Review of Other Measure A Programs Outcome assessments of the other Measure A program are briefly summarized. Capital • Section 5310 match funding brought in $526,000 in Federal funds. • Vehicle capital replacement programs are in place for public operators, supporting a fleet size of 94 vehicles.' • No formal program of vehicle replacement exists for the not -for -profit operators, fleet size of 45 vehicles. Fare Subsidy and Bus Ticket Distribution • City of Corona assistance to meet the minimum required 20% fare box for a general public dial -a -ride has increased steadily over eight years. • Volunteer Center's Transportation Access Program (TAP) distributes free bus tickets oriented mostly to emergency trip needs (homeless and Specialized Transit Analysis vii Westem Riverside County 000/ s5 Executive Summary newly employed; job training trips; seniors; youth), with voluntary distribution by 190 participating agencies. Modest on -going consumer use at selected sites with TAP monitoring capabilities currently limited to paper review. Of 98,000 tickets distributed last year, 75% were within metropolitan Riverside where fixed -route services are concentrated. TRIP Mileage Reimbursement Program • Innovative program responding to needs for trips that are not typical "public transit trips." • TRIP is an effective supplement to existing paratransit at $4.54 per trip (FY 97-98), with consumers fairly well distributed across county and reflective of distribution of specialized transit population (Exhibit C). • TRIP assists in meeting long distance, medical trips not otherwise met. • Population is very frail, with multiple disabilities, most unable to use fixed route or public specialized transit; a few do so for local needs, using TRIP for longer, intercity trips.

Detail on Key Measure A Issues The Commission desired a review of the relative cost-effectiveness of Measure A programs and the level of duplication of these services with publicly -operated services. Critical findings follow. Cost Effectiveness • TRIP reimbursements at $5 and lower per trip cost, are very inexpensive for the longer, out-of-town medical trips for which the program is often used. • Subsidy per one-way trip varies considerably by operator, relating strongly to trip - lengths, with those providers serving longer trips showing higher per trip costs. This measure reflects the transit -based funding only and does not include passenger fares or other funding sources (Exhibit D). Exhibit D Subsidy Per One -Way $20 $16 $12 $8 $4 $0 Western iiverside County Specialized Transit Transit Funds Subsidy Per Trip, FY 97-98 $4.26 $5.15 $8.95 $>0:26 $12.32 $13.67 $5.97 $6.78 ee �cd �5 t� �� 0m� o�G 0s 5• p (O 0 a � � � �� G$ G Cr �� � �%V Py 46 Q6 Sources: RCTC quarterly reports from providers and RTA FY 97/98 Annual Report. • Measure A directly —operated transportation units of service (service miles and hours, trips) are not consistently reported, making comparisons difficult. Reported costs by Measure A providers show costs per revenue hour of service range between $26 to $33 per hour, lower due to low overhead and in -kind facility contributions.. For the publicly -operated dial -a -rides, costs per revenue hour are somewhat higher, ranging from $25 to $49. Specialized Transit Analysis Western Riverside County IX -0187 Executive Summary' Duplication of Services Twenty-three dial -a -ride services include the not -for -profit providers, the municipal operators and RTA dial -a -rides, providing an array of service types, with minimal duplication. A graphic depiction of the regional trip distribution follows (Exhibit E). • Metropolitan Riverside — Eight services (including Inland AIDS Project) with differing service areas, service hours and trip types. Quantities of service provided are consistent with the population. The exception is Moreno Valley where the seniors and disabled population is half that of the countywide mean (5% versus 11 % countywide mean), yet trip levels provided are still weN below the countywide mean (0.2 trips per capita vs. 0.6 countywide mean). • Mid -County Area — Two public operators and one not -for -profit. Some overlap in service area and one rider group (seniors) between RTA's Hemet/San Jacinto Dial -a -Ride and Care -a -Van, the latter more likely to provide medical trips (three out of four trips) and Valley ReStart trips. Hemet/ San Jacinto has the highest countywide proportion of senior and disabled persons, 31 % of area population. Care -a -Van provides some additional capacity at a low per trip cost, although coordination between these services is limited. • Pass Area — Three municipal providers (Banning, Beaumont and RTA's Calimesa) all serving different areas. Calimesa Dial -a -Ride, with 26% senior and disabled resident population, is at half the countywide mean in per capita trips (0.3 versus 0.6 countywide mean). Omnitrans' Yucaipa Dial -a -Ride does transport some Calimesa residents although this service will be discontinued by Omnitrans during FY 2000. Western Communities — Two public operators and one not -for -profit serve Norco, Jurupa and the other northwestern communities. The Norco service is oriented to Norca and"Corona trips, not overlapping with the Jurupa area trip origins. The RTA Jurupa Dial -a -Ride and Family Services Association Jurupa transportation program overlap. considerably, with no apparent coordination. PTA's Jurupa Dial -a -Ride tends to serve longer medical or local school trips, with a median age ridership of age 58, younger than most E&D services. Family Services trip logs show overlapping trip origins and destinations and'include child care destinations; few consumer survey responses (n of 5) making conclusions about their ridership groups difficult. • South County Area — Three public operators and one not -for -profit provider whose multi juridictional service area overlaps the city -oriented dial -a -ride services. Trip purposes and trip lengths are very different, although ridership populations are similar, largely older riders. TS/ coordinates its services carefully with RTA programs. South County has a low proportion of the target population with per capita trip levels similarly low. Specialized Transit Analysis Western Riverside County 000188 x Executive Summary.

Consumer Trip Purposes/ Trip Lengths Basic trip needs for medical and grocery shopping are most common. Medical trip purposes are most frequently reported — by 60% to 70% 'of consumers. These are • usually longer trips of 4 to 9 miles or 10+ miles. Grocery trips as the second most frequent trip type (6 to Tof 10 respondents) most likely to be short trips of less than 3 miles. Personal trips (banking, post office, hair appointments) are third most frequent, also usually short trips. Social and recreational trips are less frequently reported (40% of respondents), with work and school trips least reported (20% to 30% of respondents). These trip lengths were shorter, under 3 or 4 to 9 miles. Consumer Mobility Choices, Knowledge and Needs Dial -a -Ride services are a primary mobility choice for one-third or respondents overall. Consumers report a range of mobility choices (Exhibit F). "Other" choices include walking, facility vans and HMO services.

This ranged from a high of 35% of consumer survey respondents to a low of 15°I° for riders on municipal services. Almost 37% of RTA responding riders overall report ADA certification, although the proportion on the ADA services exceeded 80%. - Another quarter to a third of respondents reported they don't know about the ADA or are unsure about ADA certification. Critical mobility concerns and needs faced by responding consumers include: • Assistance availability (no friend available). • Multiple trip requirements (trip chaining needs). • Transit availability (calling ahead and unable to book a trip). • Physical safety (concem for safety in waiting .for van or bus). • Long waits (concem about waits and retum trip wait). • Evening service (selected requests for later evening service). Service Ratings The majority of riders surveyed were very pleased with services received, 86% of respondents rating either Excellent or Good; 3 % rated Poor or Very Poor. Most services were at or very close to mean ratings of service quality.

WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY SPECIALIZED TRANSIT STRATEGIC PLAN, 1999 - 2003 What follows is the proposed strategic plan, including goals, objectives and workplan elements responsive to the findings of this study. This strategic plan utilizes the Measure A funding as an implementing tool, seeing it as only one of several implementing resources. 1. Proposed Goals A. Respond to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) basic requirements; recertifying current ADA enrollees and managing demand with training of ADA users to use fixed -route services. B. Carefully administer Measure A discretionary funds to balance specialized transit opportunities and to improve transit services to seniors and non-ADA certified persons. C. Expand the Measure A philosophy of "leverage" to integrate public and private, fixed -route and demand response, salaried and volunteer workers so that different providers are working collaboratively to improve mobility of persons with special needs. D. Develop long-term capabilities to address mobility needs of the specialized transit populations. • Specialized Transit Analysis Westem Riverside County xiii _ 0 0 Q 9?t Executive Summary 2. Proposed Obiectives and Work Plan Elements In light of these goals, the following objectives are proposed, with work plan elements under each that are drawn from the study findings. A. Promote Balanced Specialized Transit Opportunities Target Measure A contracts geographically, • TRIP administration encouraged to continue targeting TRIP reimbursements primarily to rural and transit underserved areas; in urban areas, TRIP emphasis should focus on serving trip purposes or types not served by public transit. • TAP administrators, with RCTC staff, should develop mechanisms to ensure that TAP bus ticket distribution by area is proportionate to the availability of fixed -route services. Target Measure A to support trips/mobility needs not served by public operators. • Measure A funds should support directly -operated services that focus on trip types/ services not provided by public operators, only incidentally serving trips that augment the capacity of local public operators. • RCTC staff should coordinate the Measure A annual or biennial RFP process with RTA staff so that planned modifications to existing RTA fixed - route and demand response services are considered in terms of Measure A RFP areas of focus. • TAP administrators should be provided resources for some modest monitoring activities, limiting the free bus ticket program to emergency, non -recurring uses by human service organization clientele; recommend discontinuing provision of tickets to public or private secondary schools. B. Improve Specialized Transit Services Integrate Role Of Not -For -Profit Operators. • Specialized Transit Providers should ensure that all dispatchers have mutual referral numbers, with mutual training as to the types of trips that can be appropriately referred. • RCTC should standardize reporting expectations of Measure A directly - operated providers so that these services are more accurately represented. Consider adopting standardized Transportation Development Act definitions for key operations data elements. • RCTC to redefine the concept of "match," either establishing a ceiling for match from contract funding (15% to 25% of total project costs) or phasing out the use of contract funds as an eligible match source. Specialized Transit Analysis Western Riverside County 00192 xiv Executive Summary Capital Replacement. • Continue Measure A support of Section 5310 Vehicle Match Program for agencies requesting 20°% capital match funding, possibly expanding this to 100% vehicle replacement for exemplary services. • Discontinue Measure A capital match for public agencies with vehicle replacement programs in place, given that other funding sources, including LTF, STA and AB 2766, are available. • Consider Measure A capital match for public provider projects not otherwise covered under existing vehicle replacement programs but consistent with Measure A goals. Specialized Transit Improvement Demonstration Projects. • Approve Measure A support for two to three demonstration projects aimed at improving the productivity of specialized transit services through strategies such as variable pricing of off-peak services, development of local shopper shuttles, expanded trip planning, vehicle sharing and service routes • Consider other demonstration projects by which to improve specialized transit services, including creating same -day service capability, testing dispatch single -number reservation procedures, improving access to services or other innovations responsive to identified consumer needs. C. Enhance Coordination and Cooperation Grantsmanship • RCTC staff to provide Section 5310 technical assistance, Section 5313 rural transportation planning technical assistance, assistance in pursuing other special funding opportunities (e.g. welfare -to -work funding). Capacity Building Training • Establish a --Measure A set -aside for capacity building training activities of a wide variety. • RCTC staff to develop an annual Western Riverside County training calendar, with a balanced training program oriented to all levels of personnel involved in specialized transit, including: - Obtain no.cost training courses from the National Transit Institute (NTI); Partially subsidizing a minimum enrollment for fee -based courses on specialized transit offered by NTI; Obtaining no -cost NTI Fellows on subjects of interest and value to providers; Assisting providers in obtaining training scholarships for the CALACT/ Ca!trans Transit Management course; Developing a mentor training program to import presentations from major sites outside of Riverside County. Specialized Transit Analysis Western Riverside County xv 0 0193 Executive Summary • Enlist provider members traveling to professional meetings of APTA, TRB, Project ACTION, CTAA and CALACT to become mentor/presenters of information obtained on specialized transit to providers in Western Riverside County. • Consider improving services with hands-on technical assistance at provider sites. RCTC Advisory Body • Reconfigure existing RCTC advisory body to support and extend specialized transit goals for Westem Riverside County: - Consider establishing a single advisory body with expanded membership — public operator representatives, social service agency representatives, selected consumers — encouraging horizontal communication over vertical communication. - Balance participation from specialized transit constituencies, including operators, agencies and consumers to encourage problem solving. • Develop by-laws and workplan consistent with adopted specialized transit goals if advisory body reconstituted. • Maintain and actively use a specialized transit database as a mailing list for prospective participants in capacity building opportunities, from among the 125 identified specialized transit stakeholder agencies. D. Manage Specialized Transit Demand RCTC shall encourage human service agency management of specialized transit demand. • RCTC, RTA and the municipal.providers should promote social service agency roles in fixed -route trip planning for consumers. • RCTC, through its advisory body, can promote demand management roles for human service agency representatives. • RCTC can consider developing annual workshop for "stakeholder agencies" on specialized transit issues. Specialized transit providers shall work to manage the demand for specialized transit services. • RCTC and providers should promote use of public transit services through fixed -route training of consumers. • Specialized transit providers can develop periodic rider promotions encouraging desired rider behaviors. • Specialized transit providers should train drivers of both fixed -route and paratransit to assist in fixed -route trip planning for consumers. The funding and administrative implications of these recommendations do not represent extensive change from current practice with two exceptions. RCTC is Specialized Transit Analysis WesternRiverside County 01)01:)1 xvi Executive Summary encouraged to consider its Measure A program in the context of a "contract" with specified parameters and project -oriented goals, rather than the more open-ended grant process which was appropriate to the earlier history of the program. Secondly, RCTC staff roles in monitoring the program are not expected to change much, with the proviso that additional reporting definitions be included in the RFP offering Measure A opportunities, or in the subsequent contracts. The staff -level procedural change these recommendations do represent is in the area of capacity - building, a new role envisioned for RCTC staff.

THROUGH: Eric Haley, Executive Director - SUBJECT: Findings Regarding Measure A Specialized Transit Services Operated by Family Services Association of Western Riverside County The Commission requested a review of specialized transit service levels provided in the Jurupa area since there was a concern that a duplication of service may be present resulting in ineffective use of Measure A Specialized Transit funds. Both the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and Family Service Association of Western Riverside County have been operating in the area for a number of years serving seniors and persons with disabilities. The Commission provides funding to support the operation of two vehicles by Family Services, specifically to serve seniors and persons with disabilities. The service as proposed by Family Services was to operate one vehicle for demand -response trips to medical appointments, shopping, and general appointments on a call -in schedule basis. The second vehicle was to be used to provide a shopping and medical shuttle service on a modified fixed -route. The consultants completing the Specialized Transit Analysis for Western Riverside County, AMMA, were directed to conduct a thorough review of the Family Services' Measure A Transportation 'Program. They, completed a review of detailed trip scheduling information including the dispatch master log, telephone logs, and client database. Quarterly operating 'data for a three and a half year period were also analyzed. They conducted two on -site visits and had numerous conversations with Family Services' staff to clarify data. An on -board rider survey was also conducted, however, of the 150 surveys provided, only six surveys were completed and returned. The consultants provided a Letter of Findings which highlighted a pattern of concerns over the effectiveness and efficiency of the Family Services' Measure A Transportation Program. This included a review of trip origins and destination which showed overlap with RTA's Jurupa Dial -A -Ride service, leading to the consultant's determination that there is, in fact, service duplication occurring in this area. The following is suggested to improve the effectiveness of Measure A expenditures OU0196 in the Jurupa area: ► Reaffirm the Commission's June 1998 action to allocate $72,500 to Family Services in FY 2000 to be used to support the operation of one vehicle in the Rubidoux/Jurupa area. This vehicle should focus on providing service for the Swan Lake area as well as interjurisdictional, trips not served by the Jurupa Dial -A -Ride. ► A written plan for improvement should be developed by Family Services which identifies measures that will be taken to: - improve documentation of policies and procedures for vehicle operations - improve operational reporting for the Measure A funded program - define services which will be provided to seniors and persons with disabilities with a single vehicle - coordinate activities to minimize overlap and duplication with the Jurupa Dial - A -Ride. ► RCTC Staff should work closely with Family Services to provide technical assistance as needed as well as clearly defined reporting requirements.

Ob0197 ARA A•MENNINGER•MAYEDA•ALTERNATIVE MEMORANDUM June 1, 1999 TO: Cathy Bechtel FROM: Heather Menninger, A-M-M-A SUBJ: Items Raised by Family Services Association in 5/26/99 Letter This briefly reviews A-M-M-A activities undertaken as part of the Specialized Transit Analysis, as they relate to issues discussed in Dom Betro's letter to the Commission: 1. Trip Sheets A-M-M-A's trip sheet analysis included the following: • From the Family Services' Master Dispatch log, a four -day sample of trips was computer -loaded and analyzed to compare with RTA Jurupa dial -a -ride trips for the same period. Trip pick-up times and odometer readings were computer loaded, for analysis of trip lengths and times of trips/ trip volume through the day. Trip length data were not available from the Family Services' logs provided. A total of 78 Family Services' trips were computer loaded, all trips listed for the four sample days. • The Master Dispatch log and the telephone log were generally reviewed to get a sense of common destinations and pick-up points. The same review was undertaken of RTA's Jurupa Dial -a -Ride driver -originated trip sheets. • The A-M-M-A Letter of Findings (5/12/99) details our unsuccessful efforts to obtain copies of the Family Services' driver -originated trip sheets which we expected would contain a full record of Measure A vehicle trips provided. Please note that the A-M-M-A analysis related to duplication of services involved identification of differences and similarities between services. In the case of RTA's Jurupa Dial -a -Ride and the Family Services Association Jurupa transportation project, the various analyses detailed in the Specialized Transit Analysis found more similarities than differences between the two services, hence the finding of probable duplication between the two programs. Of the Master Dispatch log trips computer -loaded for analysis, the 78 trips (100% of the four sample - day period) represent 20.7% of the 470 average weekday trips provided, based upon Family. Services total trips counts reported to RCTC. This is consistent with the consultant estimate that 26% of trips reported are actually Measure A trips, and reflects the fact that upwards of 75% of trips FSA reports quarterly to RCTC are actually IRC trips. 2132 RUOOELIA AVENUE CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA 91111 ■ III 621 3111 • FAX 919 621 9311 Memorandum to Cathy Bechtel, June 1, 1999, page 2 2. IRC Passengers A-M-M-A recognizes that the Commission and Family Services had previously agreed to allow the IRC service as the "match" component of the agency's Jurupa transportation program. The Specialized Transit Analysis discusses the implications of this agreement. Use of a dedicated contract (e.g. the IRC contract services) as match limits access to outside funding to offset the costs of Measure A -provided trips. The availability of outside funding in the program was one dimension of A-M-M-A's evaluation for Service Utilization of Measure A Dollars rated Family Services with a medium score. The dedicated contract as match has the effect that Measure A fully funds operational expenses for the two vehicles in the Jurupa transportation project. In the other transportation projects reviewed, outside funding offsets the costs of trips provided, thereby stretching limited Measure A dollars farther. Our report notes that in relation to Measure A subsidy per trip "...Family Services [is] at $5.14 per trip; this figure would likely be higher if calculated only against the Measure A grocery and shopping trips provided" (p. 1-34, Specialized Transit Analysis, May 1999). In fact, assuming that just 26% of trips reported by Family Services are specifically Measure A trips and not the IRC trips, the Measure A subsidy per trip is actually $19.79 per trip. This almost $20 per trip cost is well above all of the other Measure A providers and in the range of RTA's expensive ADA intercity services (op cit., page 1-48). This analysis contributed to the evaluation criteria rating of moderate for the Service Utilization of Measure A Dollars. We gave it a moderate rather than a low rating because this match arrangement had been a long-standing agreement with RCTC, although it has an adverse impact on the utilization of the Measure A funds. 3. Trip Counts/ Origins/ Destinations The consultants did not review Family Services' driver trip sheets, although these were requested. We understood from Family Services' staff that the provided telephone log and the Master Dispatch log represent an incomplete picture of actual transportation provided since some regular passengers do not appear on either but are simply "known" to the drivers. For example, group trips often originated at selected pick-up addresses, were listed on the Dispatch log as a single pick-up (e.g. "Frances W. to Staters on Limonite") but could represent a handful of boardings. This is consistent with the fact that just 78 trips represented 100% of trips from the Master Dispatch log four -day sample period, accounting for just 20% of average daily trips reported quarterly to RCTC. Typically, one expects the dispatch log to represent a very high percentage of actual trips carried, upwards of 90% while only escorts, companions or a few flag pick-ups are unlikely to be listed on the dispatch log. It was therefore important that we attempt to reconstruct actual service delivered in the streets, something possible only with the driver -originated trip sheets. Memorandum to Cathy Bechtel, June 1, 1999, page 3 Modest revisions to driver trips sheets would enable an accurate counting of trips provided and are among the recommendations made by the consultants for further definition of data elements and specific reporting forms to be required of Measure A providers. On the issue of service duplication, we spoke to the fact that the analysis revealed Family Services Jurupa dial -a -ride service to be more similar to than different from RTA's Jurupa dial -a -ride. Additionally, the lack of any visible coordination between these two organizations suggests the unlikelihood that services will complement one another. For example, in Moreno Valley, the Mo-Van's Friday shopping shuttle is known•to RTA dispatchers, thereby in hopes that some RTA overflow trips for shopping purposes can be funneled to this Measure A provider. Additionally, agency staff report that local trips are only provided on Mo-Van if the individual has already been unsuccessful in obtaining that trip on RTA. Evaluation criteria ratings for Family Services of low for Coordination Achievements and a moderate rating for Service Utilization of Measure A Dollars were influenced by these facts. 4. Policies and Procedures In response to questioning by A-M-M-A team member Roy Glauthier, Family Services staff stated that there was no existing document presenting service policies or describing the service, although work was in progress on an informational brochure. The evaluation criteria of Quality Control received a low ranking because these materials were not available. 5. Surveys It is regrettable that so few surveys were returned. For other services, notably the Mo- Van and the Inland AIDS Project, other collateral information served to document the service differences from other publicly provided specialized transit service. In these cases, while we would like to have heard from more consumers, these added information sources provided us with a level of comfort as to findings related to service duplication. The services were basically different. This was not the case for the Family Services Association Jurupa transportation project. The analysis of trip sheets did point to service overlap with the RTA Jurupa dial -a -ride and we could not definitively show, through the survey returns, that different ridership populations were served. The evaluation criteria of Customer Service Rating could not be rated as a result of the low survey return. Finally, while other Measure A providers did not score highly on every evaluation category used by the consultants, the Family Services Association Jurupa Transportation Project was the only service with lower scores in each of the five evaluation categories. It was on this basis that we encouraged the Commission to Memorandum to Cathy Bechtel, June 1, 1999, page 4 review its agreement with Family Services and to request that Family Services prepare a plan of correction, with input from RCTC staff, if transportation services are to continue to be provided with Measure A funds. We understand Family Services Association are concerned that their program be accurately portrayed in our report. According to the criteria described and the analysis conducted, we believe this to be the case. At your request, we are certainly willing to revisit any aspect of our assessment.

Please note the following in this regard. 1) Trip Sheets It is unfortunate that AMNIA did not take the time to fully review the trip sheets as offered by FSA staff. As I understand it, a one time 3 hour on site visit occurred, with no follow up visit. The trip sheets referred to are literally hundreds, which could have been easily reviewed. Although FSA staff should have handled this request differently, it could have been helpful to have had an appointment to discuss this finding and for further investigation by AMMA prior to the finalizing of the report. 2) "RC Passengers These findings are confusing. The IRC, subscription type service has always been known to, and accepted by, RCTC as a Match service. Statistics are clearly delineated in your quarterly report. It only stands to reason that subscription/group transportation services will have higher passenger rates. I would be interested in knowing why this is an issue - in other words not considered as part of the total Measure A services. 3) Trip Counts/Origins / Destinations The inability to verify trip counts is difficult to understand. Passengers are clearly listed on the driver trip sheets. I don't see what a phone log would prove. Perhaps the most full proof approach to this would be to have passengers sign in, which we would be happy to do. I would be interested in knowing what other providers do to "verify" trips. I also would like to request an on site visit by you and an AMMA representatives to look at these trip logs. " FAMILY STRENGTH IS COMMUNITY STRENGTH " Serving the Community Since 1953 a rwrowa.. A United Way Agency As RTA data was not reviewed, it is hard to understand how an indication that we cover similar destinations , could result in a finding of duplication. We know we cover the same areas, the issue is that seniors can not get on the DAR service. (Please note that, based on our conversations, RTA never complied with the data requested by Supervisor Tavaglione and RCTC, while Family Service supplied data exceeding expectations). As a result, to assume that 450 passengers per month will be absorbed by the RTA-DAR seems to be an unfounded conclusion. 4) Policies and Procedures We have Driver, Safety, Personnel Manuals, and Brochures/Flyers of all kinds, which are proven tools, refined over many years of operation. It would be helpful to know what specifically, AMMA found problematic with these tools. 5) Surveys It is regrettable that so few surveys were returned, but it is interesting that other providers also had similar low return rates. Finally, I strongly object to the overall findings of "concern with the effectiveness and efficiency .. and accuracy of the data". I would like to suggest the following as a result. A) An on site visit to be conducted by a representative of RCTC and AMMA to review daily trip logs, and policies/procedures. B) A re -issuing of the passenger survey. C) A comparative analysis compiled, from RCTC quarterly reports, of the following results across Measure A Funded providers: Cost per Trips Per Hour Miles Per Hour Passenger/Trip Cost per Hour Passengers per Miles per Passenger hour D) A similar -analysis of data requested in item C above for RTA service operating in Jurupa. (So that a true comparison of services can be conducted.) Thank you for your attention in this matter. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, 49617„...
