The Commission has a policy in place that sets aside 25% of CMAQ and STP funding specifically
for Grade Separations. Therefore, this call for projects will not include Grade Separation
projects.
6. Criteria:
Points will be assigned for each criterion and will range from Ito 10 depending on the
criterion.
Regional Significance - Up to 5 points for ADT, Up to 5 points for regional
system
Local agencies will provide Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts and discuss
the regional significance of the project. Projects on the Congestion
Management Program (CMP) system, Transportation Uniform Mitigation
Fee (TUMF) network, and National Highway System (NHS), and that are
multi -jurisdictional will qualify for more points.
One point will be given for each system or network and an additional two
points will be given for multi -jurisdictional projects. For example, if a
project is on a TUMF network and NHS network, it will receive 2 points.
Scoring for ADT is as follows:
ADT above 20,000 = 1
ADT above 30,000 = 2
ADT above 40,000 = 3
ADT above 50,000 = 4
ADT above 60,000 = 5
Project Readiness — Up to 10 points
This criterion will be weighted (x 2). Projects will receive points based on
how much work has been done.
10 points = Ready for construction
8 points = within 6 months of construction
6 points = PA&ED and PS&E complete, in r/w phase
4 points = PS&E complete
2 points = PA&ED complete
Local Match — (1 to 5 points)
Extra points will be given to projects that provide local match above and beyond
the minimum required, which is 11.47 percent for CMAQ and STP funds. Local
agencies will be required to provide a resolution or council action on the
commitment of local match.
5 points = 55% or more
4 points = 45-54%
3 points — 35-44%
2 points — 25-34%
1 point — 15-24%
Safety —1 to 5 points
Local agencies will provide accident information and other documentation that
justifies project safety benefits. A qualitative discussion will also be required to
explain the proposed project's safety benefits.
Air Quality —1 to 5 points (Consultant, Mr. Ray Gorski to conduct analyses)
Local agencies will provide input data for the Commission's air quality consultant
to perform an air quality assessment for each project. Results of the assessment
will be provided at the Project Evaluations.
Level of Service Improvement — 1 to 5 points
Local agencies will provide traffic studies or alternative methodology justifying
the proposed project's LOS improvement. Information provided can be
qualitative, however, quantitative documentation from a traffic study could
receive more points.
Cost Benefit —1 to 5 points (Consultant, Mr. Ray Gorski to conduct analyses)
Local agencies will provide input date for the Commission's air quality consultant
to perform a cost benefit analysis for each project. Results of the analysis will be
provided at the Project Evaluations.
Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainability Communities Strategy (SCS) —1 to 5 points
Local agencies will discuss how the project is identified or consistent with the
2012 SCAG RTP and/or SCS. Points will be assigned based on the project's
relationship to the SCS. If a widening project also includes pedestrian and bicycle
paths, it would receive higher points than a widening project that does not
include pedestrian and bicycle paths.

I RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 22, 2013
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Shirley Medina, Programming and Planning Manager
THROUGH: Cathy Bechtel, Project Development Director
SUBJECT: Federal Surface Transportation Rehabilitation Call for Projects -
Programming Recommendations
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve programming federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds for
rehabilitation projects in the amount of $12.142 million as presented in
Attachment A; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its March 2013 meeting, the Commission approved a Call for Rehabilitation Projects
funded with federal STP funds in the amount of $13.8 million. The amount available is a
set aside of 20% of Riverside County's federal fiscal year 2012/13 STP apportionment
estimate provided by Caltrans. Criteria used for establishing allocation targets for each
city and the County of Riverside were 2010 Census population and Federal Functional
Classification System lane miles, which were weighted 50/50. STP funds are required
to be matched at a minimum of 11.47%. Staff received 21 projects by the April 1, 2013
deadline, which will be brought forward for action at the May Commission meeting.
Additional projects submitted after the deadline will be brought forward for action at the
June Commission meeting.
Staff reviewed the project submittals for completeness and recommends that the
Commission approve the 21 projects totaling $12.142 million in STP funds with the local
agencies committing a total of approximately $4.3 million in local funds. The county of
Riverside's allocation target amount will be adjusted once information is received from
Caltrans regarding Functional Classification System lane miles for the city of Eastvale
that will separate the lane miles currently included in the unincorporated area. The
projects and funding amounts are listed in Attachment A. The majority of the projects
will be obligated in federal fiscal year 2013/14. Staff expects all of the projects to be
delivered by the end of federal fiscal year 2014/15. Staff will report back to the
Commission on the status of delayed projects, if any.
I
Upon approval, staff will program the projects in the Federal Transportation
Improvement Program (FTIP). Once the projects are in an approved FTIP, project
sponsors will work with Caltrans District 8 Office of Local Assistance to complete the
federal requirements for obligating the funds.
Federal STP funds are administered through Caltrans; therefore there is no impact to
the Commission's budget.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 15, 2013
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Shirley Medina, Programming and Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Multi-funding Call for Projects
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As previously reported to the TAC, RCTC plans to conduct a Call for Projects for various
transportation project categories such as capacity enhancements, transit capital, signal
synchronization, arterial improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Available
funding includes federal Surface Transportation Program (STP), South Coast Air Basin
(SCAB) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), and Transportation Activities Program
(TAP). Additionally, Western Riverside County Measure A Regional Arterial funds will also
be available for this Call. The estimated total amount of funds available for the Call is
approximately $130 million. The 2014 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
Fund Estimate is scheduled for release in August 2013 and the availability of sufficient STIP
funding may be added to this Call for Projects. The estimated timeframe for approval and
release of this Multi-funding Call for Projects is scheduled for the Commission's June 2013
meeting.
Assumptions -
General assumptions for the Multi-funding Call for Projects are as follows:
• Funding will be awarded to the most competitive regionally significant projects that
support the evaluation criteria
• Projects will support the goals of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
• Funding availability for each fund source are estimates and subject to change
• Fund sources will be assigned and programmed by staff
• Project sponsors should anticipate federal funds
• Priority will be given to projects ready for construction (agency funded prior phases)
• Projects will be ranked and evaluated by the TAC
• Project categories will be ranked individually (e.g. transit projects will not compete with
arterial improvements)
• The Commission will propose Measure A projects
• Geographic equity will be a consideration
• A "Use it or Lose it" provision will be implemented
• Funding limits will be considered (minimum and maximum funding request)
• A minor set aside of the funding may be designated for early project development
phases (PA&ED/PS&E)
