4. PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were no public comments.
5. FEDERAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION REAUTHORIZATION UPDATE
Shirley Medina, RCTC, briefly reviewed the latest information on the House and
Senate's efforts to produce an authorization bill. The Senate recently passed its version.
An amendment to Senator Boxer's MAP-21 was introduced that should help streamline
processing for the FTIP. Federal funds will lapse on March 31 unless another continuing
resolution for federal funds is passed to extend federal funds beyond March 31.
Regarding the House version of the authorization bill, not much has occurred lately.
A concern regarding MAP-21 is that it could reduce Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality (CMAQ) funds for retrofitting construction equipment.
6. DRAFT 2012 STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM -
CTC STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Ms. Medina said the California Transportation Commission's staff recommendations
were recently released and county submittals have been modified to fit the financial
constraint criteria that the STIP must adhere to. The majority of projects were proposed
for programming in the first three years and not spread evenly over the five year cycle.
The I-215, Scott to Nuevo widening, has been in the STIP for some time and RCTC
requested $62.6 million in the first year as that project is ready to go to construction this
calendar year; however, there was not enough funding to be financially constrained and
the CTC recommended only $56 million for construction funding.
The I-15/French Valley IC had been programmed for FY 2014/15 and it has been moved
to FY 2015/16. The I-10/Jefferson IC project was proposed for programming in
FY 2013/14; however, the CTC recommended programming in FY 2015/16.
The Perris Valley Line (PVL) project is currently in the STIP and is getting ready to go to
construction later this year.
7. PROPOSITION 1B CORRIDOR MOBILITY IMPROVEMENT ACCOUNT —
CTC PROGRAMMING OF PROJECT SAVINGS
Ms. Medina reported that discussions have been held with the CTC regarding the next
round of CMIA programming. Last year there was a lot of project savings from CMIA
projects due to the low bid environment and the CTC conducted a call for projects
specifically to program those savings. The requirement for the call for projects was that
the project had to enhance a current CMIA project. RCTC submitted the I-215 Central
Technical Advisory Committee Meeting
March 19, 2012
Page 3
Widening Project, Scott to Nuevo. It met the criteria; however, the CTC wanted projects
that could deliver as soon as possible.
The CTC is now looking at one more round to program CMIA savings, again looking at
projects that will enhance a current CMIA project. Discussions have been held with the
CTC regarding the I-215 Central Widening Project. The CTC wants to allocate the
savings by the June CTC meeting.
8. RCTC PROPOSED PROGRAMMING FOR PROPOSITION 1B STATE LOCAL
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (SLPP) — FORMULA FUNDS
Ms. Medina expects to hear from CTC staff soon regarding the next SLPP competitive
cycle. The TUMF program can be used as a match to leverage the state local partnership
— a maximum of $1 million.
The CTC will most likely send out the information in May or June with applications due
in August. SLPP competitive projects will probably be approved by the CTC in October.
9. CALTRANS LOCAL ASSISTANCE REPORT
• NEW LABOR COMPLIANCE LAWS, SBX2 9 AND AB 436
• NEW CHECKLIST FOR REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION
• CYCLE 10 FOR STATE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS PROGRAM
Savat Khamphou, Caltrans Local Assistance, announced that Cycle 10 of the Safe Routes
to School applications are due March 30 and postmarks will be accepted.
Beginning October 1 at Caltrans District 8, E76's that are going to be processed by the
district will be sent directly to FHWA. He further announced that resources are being cut
and staff is decreasing. Area engineers may be reassigned and it is possible that Local
Assistance may be reduced to only five or six people. He asked that agencies copy him
on everything that is sent to Local Assistance.
Mr. Khamphou provided the following documents and briefly described their use:
• Request for Authorization to Proceed with Preliminary Engineering Checklist
• Request for Authorization to Proceed with Construction Checklist
• Request for Federal Project Number Checklist
• Right of Way Certification Checklist
• Labor Compliance Information
10. DRAFT FFY 11/12 OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY DELIVERY
Andrea Zureick, RCTC, said that each April 1 RCTC is required to send an obligation
plan to Local Assistance detailing all the projects that RCTC anticipates obligating
Technical Advisory Committee Meeting
March 19, 2012
Page 4
CMAQ, STP and STIP funds through the end of the fiscal year that ends
September 30. She requested that agencies review the draft obligation plan and advise
RCTC by March 28, 2012 if projects are missing or if information has changed.
11. SB 821— VOLUNTEERS FOR EVALUATION PANEL
Jillian Edmiston, RCTC, reminded the TAC that a call for projects is going out March 20
for SB 821 funds. The due date is May 8, with presentations expected May 15.
Allocation recommendations will go to the Commission June 7.
She requested three TAC volunteers to sit on the SB821 evaluation committee.
She also reminded the TAC that FY 2010/11 claims are due by June 30, which indicates
that projects are completed by the time claims are submitted. She asked that if an
extension is needed, please let her know by May 1 in order for her to take them to the
Commission all at once.
12. MARCH COMMISSION MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
Shirley Medina reported that RCTC's budget goals and objectives were adopted. RCTC
worked with the cities of Eastvale and Jurupa Valley and the county to remove the
I-15/Schleisman Road IC from the TUMF Regional Arterial program since it is being
stalled in the environmental process, and substituted the I-15/Limonite project as it is a
much more needed improvement that can be delivered much quicker. TUMF funding
was approved for a project on Perris Boulevard in Moreno Valley.
There was a resolution of necessity for the I-215 Scott to Nuevo project that was
approved and can move forward.
The Regional Conservation Authority funding was approved.
The Commission also approved moving forward with the next round of TIGER
discretionary funds. RCTC will submit the 91 CIP for additional TIGER funding.
Approval was also given for programming of $2.7 million in federal Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds for continuation of the Regional Rideshare
Program in FYs 2012/13 through 2017/18.
13. OTHER BUSINESS
Greg Butler, city of Temecula, reported that bids were opened for the French Valley
Interchange Project.
Five year CIP and maintenance of effort certifications are due May 11.

AGENDA ITEM 6
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
May 7, 2012
TO:
Technical Advisory Committee
FROM:
Shirley Medina, Programming and Planning Manager
SUBJECT:
City of Corona Request for Funding for Foothill Parkway
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the TAC support the City of Corona's funding request for the Foothill
Parkway in the amount of $14 million to be funded with $7 million of Measure A Regional
Arterial (MARA) program funds and $7 million of State Local Partnership Program (SLPP)
Formula funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The city of Corona's Foothill Parkway project is included in the Commission's Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial program. The project is concluding its right-
of-way phase and the city is now requesting construction funding. The TUMF Regional
Arterial program identifies a total of $7.2 million available for the construction phase. FY
2011/12 TUMF Regional Arterial funds have been fully programmed with the recent approval
of construction funding for Moreno Valley's Perris Boulevard (Cactus Avenue to Perris Valley
Storm Drain) project.
Earlier this year, City of Corona staff notified Commission staff that the Foothill Parkway
project would be ready for construction at the end of the calendar year. Given the lack of
TUMF funds available for programming, an agenda item was presented at the April
Commission meeting designating Foothill Parkway as a candidate project for SLPP Formula
funds. SLPP Formula funds are required to be matched by county half -cent transportation
sales tax revenues, or Measure A. Therefore, staff recommends funding the $14 million
needed to complete the funding of Foothill Parkway with $7 million of SLPP Formula funds
matched with $7 million of MARA funds. To date, MARA revenues total approximately $20
million. The programming of MARA funds would replace the TUMF Regional Arterial funds
that were originally intended for the Foothill Parkway construction phase.
The construction of the Foothill Parkway will help alleviate traffic congestion from SR-91. As
the Commission begins construction on the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project, Foothill
Parkway will be even more beneficial as an alternative route during construction of the SR-91
CIP. Therefore, it is essential to maintain the Foothill Parkway's project schedule as an
alternative route to SR-91 in addition to generating jobs associated with this major
construction project.
AGENDA ITEM 7
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
May 7, 2012
TO:
Technical Advisory Committee
FROM:
Shirley Medina, Programming and Planning Manager
SUBJECT:
State -Local Partnership Program Formula Funds — Programming
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the March 14, 2012 Commission meeting, the Commission approved the following
candidate projects for State -Local Partnership Program (SLPP) funds:
• 1-215 Central Widening (Scott Road to Nuevo Road)
• SR-91 Corridor Improvement Program
• Perris Valley Line
• Foothill Parkway
four
These Western Riverside County projects were approved as candidate projects with the
intent of programming the SLPP funding as we know more about the possibility of other
funding for these projects, such as Proposition 1 B Corridor Mobility Improvement Account
(CMIA) savings on the 1-215 Central project. Staff is proposing the programming of $7 million
in SLPP funds for the Foothill Parkway project. Based on the success of the 1-215 Central
project receiving CMIA savings, we will know the distribution of the SLPP funds on the
remainder of the above Western County projects. The total amount currently available for
programming is approximately $42 million.
The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) has proposed the following
projects and dollar amounts for SLPP funds, which will also be matched with Measure A
funds on a 50/50 basis:
Palm Desert
Indio
Indio
Riverside County
Indian Wells
La Quinta
Monterey Interchange Loop Ramp
Varner Road/Jefferson Intersection Improvements
Monroe (Ave 49 to 52) Widen, Intersection Improv.
Fred Waring, (Adams to Port Maria) Median Widening
Hwy 111 (Cook to Washington) Intersection Improv.
Hwy 111/Washington Intersection Improvements
Total
$ 2,800,000
$ 2,250,000
$ 1,375,000
$ 4,000,000
$ 1,550,000
$ 283,000
$12,258,000
In order to program SLPP projects, the environmental phase must be completed and
nomination forms must be provided to Commission staff since the Commission is the
authorizing agency to submit SLPP Formula projects to the California Transportation
Commission (CTC). Once the projects are submitted to the CTC for programming, they will
also need two additional CTC actions: 1) Future Consideration of Funding; and 2) Allocation
Request for Funding. These two actions can occur at the same meeting. Projects cannot be
advertised until the allocation request is approved by CTC.
In addition, as of January 1, 2012 all projects that have State bond funds, including all
programs under Proposition 1 B, must adhere to the new Compliance Monitoring Unit
requirements, which monitors and enforces prevailing wage requirements on public works
projects. There is an administrative fee that must be paid to the Department of Industrial
Relations (DIR). In the case of Prop 1B projects, the total that DIR may charge for a given
project is limited by statute to one -quarter of one percent of the state bond funding provided
for a bond -funded project.
It is anticipated that an additional $12 million will be available for programming in Fall;
however, fiscal year 2012/13 will be the last year of the SLPP bond program. All SLPP
Formula allocation requests must be submitted by April 2013 in order to be allocated by June
2013, the CTC deadline for allocations.

Federal Fiscal Year 2011/12 Obligation Plan _
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and File.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Each year, states are allocated federal STP and CMAQ funds that are suballocated to
the regions (or counties) based on the specific funding distributions for each fund
source. Caltrans requires each region to prepare an obligation plan that identifies each
project that is scheduled for obligation in the current fiscal year. This plan provides
critical information to RCTC on the need to develop contingency plans, such as loans
between regions or project substitution, based on the target amount of federal funds
that needs to be obligated during the fiscal year. Likewise, the plan allows Caltrans to
monitor the rate of obligations and develop contingency plans for use of any funds that
may not be obligated at a statewide level. The expectation is for each region to obligate
100% of its STP and CMAQ allocations or Obligation Authority (OA).
Regions have until May 1st of each year to obligate their annual OA target, after which
the OA becomes available for use by other regions within the state. If the state as a
whole does not use all of the OA, then the unobligated balance will return to the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) for redistribution to other states that have obligated
100% of the OA. This is an opportunity that allows states to obligate more federal
funding than initially received. This is referred to as "August Redistribution". Therefore,
while some projects simply can not obligate earlier than the schedule allows because of
issues such as environmental or right of way certification requirements, staff
encourages agencies to obligate as early as possible. This increases the likelihood that
there will be OA available for the project in the current fiscal year and may even bring
more OA for Riverside County agencies than originally anticipated.
The FFY 2011/12 obligation plan was submitted to Caltrans by the April 1, 2012,
deadline. Based on the final plan (attached), more OA is available than is expected to
be needed for obligations. Therefore, there is a risk of losing any unobligated balances
because of August Redistribution going to other states or even FHWA rescissions of
unobligated balances. There have been a couple of fiscal years that Riverside County
did not obligate 100% of its OA. In these instances, RCTC "loaned" OA to regions that
could obligate above their OA levels. Per Caltrans' OA Management policy, OA that is
loaned is protected from being lost to the county as long as the state obligates 100% of
the OA. Agencies are encouraged to notify RCTC when projects that are contained in
the delivery plan begin to experience delay or if it becomes possible to deliver a future
year project earlier. This will allow staff the time necessary to develop contingency
plans that ensure federal funds are not lost to the region.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
2011 FTIP
There has been little activity in the 2011 FTIP amendments, due to SCAG efforts focusing on
analyzing the 2013 FTIP; amendments have been restricted to emergencies. As of April 26,
twenty-four amendments have been processed by the Southern California Association of
Governments - RCTC has participated in 21 out of the 24 amendments (Amendment No's 5,
13, and 14 did not include RCTC projects). The most recent amendment was formal
amendment No. 25, submitted to SCAG on April 26.
Amendment Nos. 1-15 and 17-23 have been approved by FHWA/FTA. The 2012 RTP
Consistency Amendment, Amendment No. 24 (Previously Amendment No. 16) will be
approved in June 2012, concurrently with the 2012 RTP approval.
