4. PUBLIC COMMENTS
The city of Indian Wells extended an apology to the city of La Quinta for a paving project that impeded
traffic at last week’s public works meeting.
5. REGIONAL TRUCK/FEE STUDY UPDATE
Lorelle Moe-Luna, RCTC, introduced Darren Henderson, Project Manager for the regional truck study,
WSP, who explained the study is the result of a lawsuit filed by the County of Riverside against
Highland Fairview and the city of Moreno Valley regarding th e environmental document that was
prepared for the World Logistics Center site in Moreno Valley.
Mr. Henderson described the steps WSP is taking in its study and responded to various questions.
6. SCAG REGIONAL INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE PROJECT
Ms. Moe-Luna introduced Alyssa Phaneuf and Matt Gleason, Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG), who provided background information on the Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS) Architecture Project, a venture project that is one of six architecture projects maintained
throughout the SCAG region. They explained its function is to establish connectivity between projects
that have inter-county aspects and provide services across county lines. It gives elected officials and
members of the public sector a chance to follow in the footsteps of the private sector and move
forward in transportation technology, realizing and utilizing the technological capabilities and
benefits the residents of the region.
They reported the project is a 12-month effort to update the Regional ITS Architecture that was
developed in 2005 and was updated in 2008 and 2011. They responded to various questions.
7. SB 1 PROGRAM UPDATES
Shirley Medina, RCTC, stated that the local streets and roads project lists were due October 16.
She also stated that for the near-term cycles, there are the local partnership program, the trade
corridor enhancement account, and solutions for congested corridors. She said that agencies should
prepare for the January 30th deadline, the trade corridor enhancement account applications due date.
Program adoption is scheduled May 16, 2018. The solutions for congested corridors guidelines are
still in draft form and it is expected to be approved by the CTC in December.
She explained that the CTC wants more multi-model projects and they will be requesting greenhouse
Gas reductions information with every project application.
In response to a question regarding repeal efforts, Aaron Hake stressed the importance of
communicating to your leaders and to those they represent what is being done with SB 1 dollars and
also the opportunities that are presented by SB 1 dollars.

The city of Temecula did a great job last week. The city’s city manager sent an email to its city council
and more people should speak out plainly saying this may be a political issue for some of you;
however, here are the facts; here’s what you’re getting, here’s what we could potentially be getting,
here are all the things that are happening, and putting out that factual information is going to be very
important.
He further stated that we believe that today, the attorney general is able to release title and summary
for the repeal initiative that is most likely going to make the November ballot next year. Once that
title and summary are released, the proponents can begin gathering signatures. If it is released today,
they have 180 days that would take us to May 19 for them to gather 585,000 or half a million
signatures or 600,000 signatures from registered voters from out of state. We believe they will be
successful in doing that. Based on the funding that has already come into the committee to gather
those signatures, the Republican Party and the California Republican Cong ressional Delegation are
supporting them and the members themselves are raising money to put this on the ballot. Three
polls have been publically published so far about the likelihood of this passing. A week and a half ago,
the New York Times released a new poll after the gas tax kicked in on November 1 showing the repeal
will succeed.
In response to a question regarding the Caltrans Symposium on November 30, Mr. Hake said it is a
joint District 8 and District 12 Caltrans event held at the Riverside Convention Center.
8. ATP CYCLE 4 UPDATE
Martha Masters, RCTC, stated that the Cycle 4 Call for Projects is expected to open March 26, 2018
with the submission deadline June 8, 2018.
She pointed out some of the major proposed revisions to the final draft guidelines based on the
progressive workshops staff attended. She also identified resources available to help local agencies
strengthen their applications:
The Active Transportation Resource Center (ATRC) that offers a website to provide
information and resources;
The Active Transportation Resource Team (ATRT) that is not limited to assisting local agencies
for the ATP program, but other programs such as the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation
Planning Grant program;
SCAG has also offered workshops on the ATP in the past cycles. For more information on past
workshops, visit the website in the agenda.
The Riverside County Active Transportation Network (ATN) is a local consortium comprised of
various public and private agencies and interest groups that meet quarterly. The next meeting
will be February 21, 2018 at the SCAG Riverside Office.
The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) Grant Writing Assistance Program
provides help developing grant applications for funding. For more information, cont act

AGENDA ITEM 7
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 21, 2018
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Lorelle Moe-Luna, Planning and Programming Manager
SUBJECT:
Active Transportation Program – Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Regional
Program Guidelines and Recommended Revisions for Additional Points for
Riverside County Project Applications
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Discuss and approve draft staff recommended changes to the Active Transportation Program (ATP)
Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Regional Program Guidelines for the county share.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
ATP is a highly competitive statewide program that funds bicycle and pedestrian facilities and programs to
enhance or encourage walking and biking. The California Transportation Commission (CTC) awards 50
percent of the funds at the statewide competitive level, 10 percent to small urban and rural regions, and
40 percent at the large Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) level. The ATP process allows applicants
two opportunities for award – statewide and large MPO level. As part of the sequential project selection,
projects are first evaluated statewide and those that are not ranked high enough for statewide funding are
automatically provided a second opportunity for funding through the large MPO share. As the MPO, the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is required to work with county transportation
commissions, the CTC, and Caltrans to develop its regional program recommendations.
As part of the development of the regional program guidelines, SCAG allows each county transportation
commission to assign up to 10 points to the CTC’s project scores for projects that are consistent with local
and regional plans. Each county transportation commission in the SCAG region is responsible for defining
“plans” and developing its guidance and methodology for assigning the additional 10 points. In addition, if
a county transportation commission assigns points to a project for which it is the lead applicant, an
explanation must be provided on how the scoring process resulted in an unbiased evaluation of projects.
In April 2014, the Commission approved staff’s recommendation to assign 10 points to each application if
the project is consistent with an adopted local and regional “plan.” A “plan” may include, but is not limited
to, the following:
Measure A Expenditure Plan
Riverside County Public Transportation – Annual Countywide Performance Report
SCAG Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy
Western Riverside Council of Government’s Non-Motorized Transportation Plan
Coachella Valley Association of Government’s Non-Motorized Transportation Plan
City/County/School District Bicycle Plans
City/County/School District Pedestrian Facilities
Trail System – Regional of Multi-County Trail System (e.g. Santa Ana River Trail, CV-Link)

AGENDA ITEM 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 21, 2018
TO: Technical Advisory Committee
FROM: Martha Masters, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Obligation Delivery Plan Update – FFY 2017/18
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), RCTC is responsible for ensuring that federal
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds
apportioned to Riverside County are allocated and obligated in a timely manner to prevent funds from
lapsing. Federal Obligation Authority (OA) for the region is provided on an annual basis and has to be
used in the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) it is provided. The Commission’s goal is to ensure that 100 percent
of its OA is obligated.
RCTC works closely with our local agencies and Caltrans to ensure projects on the Obligation Delivery
Plan are obligated and delivered. Many of these projects are from the 2013 Multi -Funding Call for
Projects, 2013 Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP a.k.a STBG) Call for Projects, CVAG’s
2014 CMAQ Call for Projects, and various other projects that had been awarded CMAQ or STBG funds
by the Commission. The attached obligation plan provides an outline of the projects that have CMAQ
or STBG programmed in FFY 2017/18. The information provided in the attached obligation plan comes
from milestone updates received from your agencies, discussions with project sponsors, and our
monthly meetings with local assistance.
As we near the end of the FFY 2017/18, it is recommended you begin your federal-aid process as soon
as possible, and/or devote the resources needed to secure the federal approvals for obligation,
ensuring the timely obligation of the federal funds. In the attached FFY 2017/18 Obligation Plan, are
the planned CMAQ and STBG obligations for the current year. If you anticipate a delay in obligating
these funds this year, please notify RCTC staff with a project status update.
It is critical that local agencies awarded federal funds meet the milestones established to ensure local
OA does not lapse. RCTC will be reviewing agreement dates and contacting agencies that have made
little to no progress to discuss alternatives for the federal award. RCTC staff is available to assist cities
with the processing of the RFA submittals and the overall navigation through the federal-aid process.
