TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Financial Profile – January 2012 Summary: The attached report summarizes the Agency’s performance in the
areas of revenues, operating expenses, ridership, and service levels (in terms of revenue service hours and revenue service miles) for fiscal year-to-date January FY12.
Recommendation: Receive and file.
Item 6A 9
FINANCIAL PROFILE
January 2012
Overview January total revenue of $5,376,656 is $188,901 or 4 percent over budget. Year-to-date revenue of $42,674,953 is $6,015,370 or 16 percent over budget. Both variances are attributable to greater than anticipated prior year capital contribution revenue and farebox revenue. January operating expenses of $4,416,542 are $142,845 or 3 percent under budget. Year-to-date expenses of $28,864,922 are $1,628,388 or 5 percent under budget. Variance analysis by cost element is provided in the financial discussion below. During the month of January, RTA carried a total of 720,465 passengers. This consisted of 554,087 passengers on directly operated fixed routes, 134,994 on contracted fixed routes, and 31,384 Dial-A-Ride/Taxi Overflow trips. This reflects an increase of 8 percent when comparing January 2012 to January 2011. FY12 year-to-date system-wide ridership of 4,993,202 reflects a 9 percent increase over the same period in FY11. Monthly ridership on fixed route service increased 8 percent over the prior year, while year-to-date fixed route ridership increased 9 percent over the same period in FY11. These increases are attributed to the expansion of and growing popularity with the discounted pass programs with educational institutions. Of particular note, monthly CommuterLink ridership increased 18 percent over the same period in FY11, while year-to-date CommuterLink ridership increased 21 percent over the same period in FY11. These increases are attributed to the aggressive marketing of this premium service. Monthly DAR/Taxi Overflow trips increased 15 percent over the prior year, while year-to-date DAR/Taxi ridership increased 16 percent over the same period in FY11. These increases are attributed to the elasticity of demand from the January 2010 Board-directed policy changes.
Item 6A 10
During January, RTA provided a total of 52,547 revenue service hours and logged a total of 875,305 combined revenue miles. This reflects an increase of 5 percent in hours and an increase of 4 percent in miles, respectively, when comparing January 2012 to January 2011. FY12 year-to-date revenue service hours of 360,375 and revenue miles of 6,041,910 reflect an increase of 3 percent in hours and an increase of 2 percent in miles, respectively, when compared to the same period in FY11. January farebox revenue of $911,496 is $128,391 or 16 percent over budget. The year-to-date farebox revenue of $6,058,891 is $678,138 or 13 percent over budget. The monthly variance is attributed to greater than anticipated pass sales as well as the ridership increases discussed above. The year-to-date variance is attributed to the ridership increases discussed above.
Financial Discussion
Salaries and benefits expense of $2,143,539 is $20,191 or 1 percent over budget in January. Year-to-date salaries and benefits expenses of $13,849,310 are $624,267 or 4 percent under budget. The monthly variance is attributed to greater than anticipated worker’s compensation expenses. The year-to-date variance is attributed to the use of paid time off, unfilled positions and less than anticipated medical expenses. Purchased transportation expenses of $1,563,695 are $72,592 or 4 percent under budget in January. Year-to-date purchased transportation expenses of $10,663,863 are $288,017 or 3 percent under budget. Both the monthly and year-to-date variances are attributed to contractual efficiencies. Total services expenses of $161,692 are $88,991 or 36 percent under budget in January. Year-to-date service expenses of $1,102,677 are $276,462 or 20 percent under budget. The monthly variance is attributed to less than anticipated use of consultants. The year-to-date variance is attributed to less than anticipated use of consultants, contract services, and CNG Compressor Maintenance. Materials and supplies expenses of $366,566 are $51,495 or 16 percent over budget in January. Year-to-date materials and supplies expenses of $2,057,944 are $78,839 or 4 percent under budget. The monthly variance is attributed to greater than anticipated parts expense. The year-to-date variance is attributed to less than anticipated CNG fuel expense.
Item 6A 11
Other expenses of $181,049 are $52,948 or 23 percent under budget in January. Year-to-date other expenses of $1,191,127 are $360,802 or 23 percent under budget. Both variances are attributed to less than anticipated insurance and training expenses.

• Weather: January 2012 had three rainy days (one weekday, one Saturday, and one Sunday), compared to one weekday and two Sundays last year.
• Schedule: There were no significant schedule changes. However, selected trips on Route 208 converted from contracted-operated to directly-operated, beginning with the 1/8/12 service change.

These inclusions and exclusions make route level analysis misleading and thus are only meaningful at the systemwide level.
Item 6F 39
Productivity Improvement Plan Definitions Passengers or Unlinked Passenger Trips
The number of passengers who board buses. Passengers are counted each time they board the bus.
Revenue Service Hours (RSH)
The hours that vehicles travel while in revenue service. Revenue service hours include layover/recovery time but exclude deadhead, training operators prior to revenue service and road tests.
Revenue Service Miles (RSM)
The miles that vehicles travel while in revenue service. Revenue service miles exclude deadhead, training operators prior to revenue service and road tests.
Passenger Miles
The total number of miles traveled by transit passengers. For example, a bus that carries 5 passengers for a distance of 3 miles incurs 15 passenger miles.
Operating Costs or Expenses
All operating costs excluding depreciation, amortization, and capital expenditures. Fare Revenue
All revenues received in the following classifications – passenger fares for transit service and special transit fares. Fare revenues includes revenues earned under contractual agreements with public or private entities, either (1) for transit fares for a specified group of employees, members or clients, or (2) to guarantee a minimum revenue on a line operated especially for the benefit of the paying entity (e.g. an employer, shopping center, university, etc.). In addition to farebox cash and coin and passes, this area includes, but is not limited to, U-Pass agreements, the Measure A subsidy for OCTA Route 794, and OCTA’s subsidy of RTA Route 216.
Other Local Revenue
All revenues received in the following classificatons – auxiliary transportation revenues, taxes levied directly by transit system, local cash grants & reimbursements – General Operating Assistance, local special fare assistance, and subsidy from other sectors of operation (e.g. lease, advertising, and interest income). This area also includes the Federal Excise Tax Credit for Alternative Fuel (CNG) Use and reimbursements from the California Employers Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) for retiree medical.
Item 6F 40
Subsidy
Subsidy = (Operating Costs – Fare Revenue) In calculating PIP indicators, Other Local Revenue is not factored into the Subsidy.
PIP Indicators Mandatory Indicator: Farebox Recovery Ratio
Farebox Recovery Ratio =Net Revenue (Fare Revenue + Other Local Revenue) ÷ Net Operating Costs Farebox Recovery target is a “blended ratio” based on the mix of urban and rural service areas with urban areas having a target of 20% and rural areas a target of 10%. Farebox Recovery Ratio allows for both inclusions and exclusions of certain revenues and expenses, and is influenced by the containment of operating costs and the generation of revenues through passenger fares, advertising, interest income, etc.
Farebox Recovery Ratio Inclusions In addition to cash and coin collected in the fareboxes, other local revenues can be included in the “fare revenue” numerator of the farebox recovery equation.
Farebox Recovery Ratio Exemptions
The TDA allows exemptions to the farebox recovery requirements for new routes, new route extensions, newly urbanized areas, and in the case of work stoppages. Routes may be excluded if the extension of services has been in operation for less than two full fiscal years. The two year extension of services applies until two years after the end of the fiscal year in which the extension of services was put into operation. If a route is exempted, both its revenue and costs are exempted from the farebox recovery calculation. AB813 Exemptions ADA (DAR/Taxi) operating costs above CPI growth over prior year may be excluded when calculating farebox recovery ratio.
Discretionary Indicators (4 of 7 required): Cost Per Revenue Service Hour (RSH)
Cost Per RSH = Operating Costs ÷ RSH Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Cost Per RSH plus CPI growth. Cost Per RSH is influenced by CPI growth and other cost drivers above CPI and service changes. Costs for GASB 45 compliance above the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) are excluded from the operating expenses for purposes of calculating this value.
Item 6F 41
Subsidy Per Passenger
Subsidy Per Passenger = (Operating Costs – Fare Revenue) ÷ Passengers Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Subsidy Per Passenger ± 15%. Subsidy Per Passenger is positively influenced by increasing passengers while incurring incremental operating cost below the average and/or increasing fare revenue without degradation of ridership. Costs for GASB 45 compliance above the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) are excluded from the operating expenses for purposes of calculating this value.
Subsidy Per Passenger Mile Subsidy Per Passenger Mile = (Operating Costs – Fare Revenue) ÷ Passenger Miles Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Subsidy Per Passenger Mile ± 15%. Subsidy Per Passenger Mile is positively influenced by higher revenue and/or lower costs. Costs for GASB 45 compliance above the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) are excluded from the operating expenses for purposes of calculating this value.
Subsidy Per Revenue Service Hour (RSH) Subsidy Per RSH = (Operating Costs – Fare Revenue) ÷ RSH Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Subsidy Per RSH ± 15%. Subsidy Per RSH is positively influenced by cost containment while increasing passenger fare revenue and/or productive service growth with below average incremental cost. Costs for GASB 45 compliance above the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) are excluded from the operating expenses for purposes of calculating this value.
Subsidy Per Revenue Service Mile (RSM) Subsidy Per RSM = (Operating Costs – Fare Revenue) ÷ RSM Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Subsidy Per RSM ± 15%. Subsidy Per RSM is positively influenced by cost containment and/or increasing fare revenue. Costs for GASB 45 compliance above the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) are excluded from the operating expenses for purposes of calculating this value.
Passenger Per Revenue Service Hour (RSH)
Passenger Per RSH = Passengers ÷ RSH Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Passenger Per RSH ± 15%. Passenger Per RSH is positively influenced by an increase in ridership and/or a reduction of under utilized routes.
Passenger Per Revenue Service Mile (RSM)
Passenger Per RSM = Passengers ÷ RSM
Item 6F 42
Target is established based on prior fiscal year through third quarter Passenger Per RSM ± 15%. Passenger Per RSM is positively influenced by an increase in ridership and/or a reduction of under utilized routes.

designation of employees and the formulation of disclosure categories in the Appendix
referred to below constitute the adoption and promulgation of a conflict of interest code
within the meaning of Government Code Section 87300 or the amendment of a conflict of
interest code within the meaning of Government Code Section 87306 if the terms of this

amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of reportable items in a
manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 7 of the Political
Reform Act, Government Code Sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of
interest code are in addition to other requirements of the Political Reform Act such as the
general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Government Code Section
87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
(b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated

February 23, 2012 TO: BOARD BUDGET OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Agency Investment Policy – Annual Update Summary: The Agency’s Board of Directors must adopt an Investment Policy
on an annual basis. Doing so ensures that the investment policy remains consistent with overall Agency goals and objectives. All policy changes must be approved by the Board of Directors prior to implementation.
The current policy includes the following objectives – in order of priority:
1. Preservation of principal 2. Maintain liquidity 3. Rate of Return consistent with the first two objectives
There are no changes recommended to the current policy for the coming year with regards to the objectives above. Further, there are no changes recommended in investment vehicles. With that in mind, the chart below depicts a comparison of the monthly rates of return achieved with the Agency’s investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the Riverside County Treasurer’s Pooled Investment Fund (County Pool). For reference, the Agency joined the County Pool in February 2011. Attachment A to this staff report is the current Board-approved Agency Investment Policy.
Item 6I 63
Fiscal Impact: None at this time. Committee Recommendation:
This item was discussed at the Board Budget and Finance Committee of February 1, 2012. The committee members unanimously approved and recommended this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration.
Recommendation: Adopt the Agency Investment Policy for 2012.
Item 6I 64
ATTACHMENTA
INVESTMENT POLICY
SCOPE
This investment policy applies to the Operating and Capital cash funds of Riverside Transit
Agency, except for its employees’ retirement system fund and its retiree medical fund, both of
which are administered by the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS).
Separate Section 401 and 457 Deferred Compensation Funds are administered by Great West
Retirement Services (Great West).
OBJECTIVE
Investable funds shall be invested to the maximum extent feasible. The primary goal of the
investment program is to maintain safety and liquidity of principal and interest while maximizing
returns, minimizing risks and ensuring that funds are available to meet anticipated cash flow
requirements.
In the investment of its funds, Riverside Transit Agency will be guided by the following
principles in order of importance:
1. The primary objective of the investment program is to safeguard the principal of the
funds.
2. The secondary objective is to meet the liquidity needs of the Agency.
3. The third objective is to achieve a maximum return while assuming minimal risk on
Agency investments.
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENT OFFICERS
The Chief Financial Officer is designated as the Investment Officer for the Agency and is
responsible for investment decisions and activities, under the direction of the Chief Executive
Officer. Cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the Investment
Officer. In the absence of the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer will designate
a temporary Investment Officer.
The authority to execute investment transactions on behalf of the Riverside Transit Agency will
be limited to the:
Chief Executive Officer
Chief Financial Officer
Chief Operating Officer
Chairman of the Board
Item 6I 65
Two authorized signatures will be required for all investment transactions and wire transfers as
delineated in Resolution 98-04 adopted on May 28, 1998, or any revision thereafter subsequently
approved by the Board of Directors.
ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Officers and employees who are directly involved in the investment program shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or
which could impair the ability to make impartial investment decisions.
PRUDENCE
The standard to be used by investment officials shall be that of a “prudent person” and shall be
applied in the context of managing all aspects of the overall portfolio. Investments shall be made
with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence,
direction and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation,
but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as probable income to
be derived.
The Agency realized that market prices of securities would vary depending on economic and
interest rate conditions at any point in time. It is further recognized, that in a well-diversified
investment portfolio, occasional measured losses are inevitable due to economic, bond market or
individual security credit risk. These occasional losses must be considered within the context of
the overall investment program objectives and the resultant long-term rate of return.
The Investment Officer and other individuals assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting
in accordance within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures
and exercising due diligence, shall not be held personally responsible for security credit risk or
market price changes, provided that deviations from expectations are reported immediately to the
Chief Executive Officer and that appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
SAFEKEEPING
Agency cash and investment securities, if any, shall be held in safekeeping by a designated
institution. The institution shall issue a safekeeping receipt to the Agency listing the specific
instrument, rate, maturity and other pertinent information as applicable. The independent
auditors should review safekeeping procedures annually along with internal controls.
MONITORING AND ADJUSTING THE PORTFOLIO
The Investment Officer will routinely monitor the contents of the portfolio, the available markets
and the relative values of competing instruments, and will adjust the portfolio accordingly.
Item 6I 66
INTERNAL CONTROL
The investment portfolio and all related transactions are reviewed and balanced to appropriate
general ledger accounts by the Finance Department on a monthly basis.
Internal controls shall be reviewed annually by the independent auditor. The controls shall be
designed to prevent a loss of public funds due to fraud, error, misrepresentation, unanticipated
market changes or imprudent actions.
REPORTING
The Investment Officer shall render a quarterly report to the Chief Executive Officer and the
Board of Directors within 30 days following the end of the quarter covered by the report. The
report will include the following information:
Type of Investment
Name of Issuing Institution
Date of Maturity, if applicable
Amount of Deposit (Investment)
Rate of Interest Earned
Current Market Value of the Investment as of the Date of the report
Sufficient Funds Statement for Next 30-90 Days’ Obligations for Operating Costs
State compliance of the portfolio to the Statement of Investment Policy
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
Investment of the Agency funds is governed by the California Government Sections 53600 et
seq. Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are authorized, as further
limited herein:
1. Passbook Savings and Account Demand Deposits with commercial banks or savings and
loan banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and/or collateralized in
accordance with the California Government Code. These accounts are liquid; therefore,
there is no percentage limitation of the portfolio, which can be invested in this category.
2. Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which is a State of California managed
investment pool and may be used to the maximum permitted by the California State Law.
3. California Arbitrage Management (CAMP) Pool. Funds deposited in this category are
restricted to the remaining Certificates of Participation (COP) proceeds and interest
earned to pay the debt service on the 57 replacement buses purchased in 2001/2002. This
service expires in 2014.
Item 6I 67
4. U.S. Treasury Bills, Bonds, and Notes or those for which the full faith and credit of the
United States are pledged for payment of principal and interest. There is no limitation as
to the percentage of the portfolio which can be invested in this category. Maturity is not
to exceed the projected dates of the Agency’s cash needs or two years, whichever is less.
5. County of Riverside Treasurer’s Pooled Investment Fund (Riverside County Pool) which
is a County of Riverside managed investment pool.
MATURITY SCHEDULED
Investment maturities shall be scheduled, as applicable, to coincide with projected cash flow
needs, taking into account large routine expenditures such as payroll, accounts payable and
capital purchases along with receipt of projected revenues.
INTEREST EARNINGS
All moneys earned and collected from investments authorized in this policy shall be accrued
monthly to various fund accounts based on the cash balances in each fund as a percentage of the
entire pooled portfolio.
LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
Any State of California legislative action, that further restricts allowable maturities, investment
type or percentage allocations, will be incorporated into the Riverside Transit Agency’s
Investment Policy and supersede any and all previous applicable language.
POLICY REVIEW
The Board of Directors on an annual basis shall adopt the Riverside Transit Agency’s investment
policy. This investment policy shall be reviewed at least annually to ensure its consistency with
the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and yield, and its relevance to current
law and financial and economic trends. Any amendments to the policy shall be forwarded to the
Board of Directors for approval.

TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Vince Rouzaud, Chief Procurement and Logistics Officer SUBJECT: Authorization to Issue a Sole Source Purchase Order to Oracle
USA, Inc., (Oracle) for Annual Software Licensing and Support Services
Summary: At the February 2000 Board of Directors meeting, the Board
authorized the purchase and implementation of a new enterprise-wide Information Management System (system). The system is comprised of two fully integrated software platforms; Oracle financial applications for the Agency’s accounting, budgeting, payroll, grants management, fixed assets, purchasing and human resources; and, Spear Technologies (now Hansen) for inventory control and vehicle maintenance. The Agency has two annual licensing and support services agreements with Oracle that are due to expire on June 30 and July 30, 2012.
Oracle is proprietary software and has exclusive control over
licensing and technical support for its products. Because of its proprietary nature, in order to be eligible for annual software updates and technical support, the Agency is required to have an annual license and technical support agreement.
In addition, Oracle requires their clients to stay as current as possible with product releases in order to be eligible to receive technical support under their software maintenance agreement. Technical support is a critical component in maintaining system integrity.
Staff has determined that licensing and technical support services for Oracle software cannot be obtained under normal small purchase procedures, sealed bids, or competitive proposals, because no competition exists. Since competitive pricing is not available, staff conducted a price analysis to determine if pricing received from Oracle is considered fair and reasonable. Staff has
Item 7 69
reviewed Oracle’s proposed pricing, an increase of 2.9 percent from the previous year, and has determined it to be fair and reasonable.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding in the amount of $36,352.15 for Oracle software licensing and support services has been included in the Agency’s FY12 operating budget.
Committee Recommendation: This item was discussed at the Board Budget and Finance
Committee meeting of February 1, 2012. The Committee members unanimously approved and recommended this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration.
Recommendation:
Authorize staff to issue a sole source purchase order to Oracle USA, Inc. for annual software licensing and support services in an amount not to exceed $36,352.15.

February 23, 2012 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Gordon Robinson, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Authorize Staff to Enter into an Agreement with the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC) to Fund and Implement a Temporary Shuttle Service (Proposed Route 54) to Support the State Route 91 High-Occupancy Vehicle Construction Project and Amend the FY12 Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and FY12 Operating Budget
Summary: In partnership, the RCTC is requesting the Agency to implement and operate a
temporary shuttle service, Route 54, to provide service for both the public and County employees between the Riverside-Downtown Metrolink Station east side auxiliary parking lot, located at Tenth Street and Commerce Street, and the Riverside County Administration Center. This service is needed due to the initiation of construction activities associated with the State Route 91 (SR-91) high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) construction project and the planned incremental closure of the Riverside County Administration Center parking lot adjacent to SR-91 at Eleventh Street and Lime Street. Commensurate with the Riverside County Administration Center parking lot closure, Route 54 is anticipated to begin approximately March 1, 2012, which is subject to change, and operate for an estimated 24 month period. The service description including the proposed routing, stops, and schedule are outlined in Attachment A.
Service Details
• The service will operate Monday through Friday, approximately every 15
minutes, between 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for six revenue service hours per day.
• The proposed route alignment will serve all existing bus stops connecting the Riverside-Downtown Metrolink station east side auxiliary lot and the Riverside County Administration Center.
• This service would be offered at no charge to Riverside County
employees and the public. Ridership levels and performance will be
Item 8 71
monitored on a regular basis which may result in operational adjustments.
• A final route map with stops and schedule will be available to the public
and County employees prior to service implementation. Fiscal Impact:
The estimated annual cost of this service is $109,200, based on 1,560 annual revenue service hours. Under an agreement, the RCTC is proposing to fully reimburse the Agency for this service with 1989 Measure A Highway funds. With the addition of this service, the current board approved Fiscal Year (FY12) Operating budget of $54,104,083 will increase by $36,120 to $54,140,203. As such, amendments to the FY12 Operating Budget and SRTP are required. Funding of this service beyond FY12 will be included in subsequent fiscal years as required by RCTC.

RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street
Riverside, CA 92507
February 23, 2012
TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Authorization to Submit Grant Applications for Federal Funding Under
the FY2012 Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Program (TIGER) and Bus and Bus Facilities Program Under the State of Good Repair (SGR) and Bus Livability (BLV) Initiatives; Ratify Agency’s Pre-application for TIGER; and Approve Resolutions in Advance of Applications’ Submittal
Summary: On January 31, 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
began soliciting pre-applications for the TIGER competitive grant program. The FY2012 Appropriations Act, signed by the President on November 18, 2011, appropriated $500 million to be awarded by the DOT for National Infrastructure Investments. Eligible applicants include transit agencies.
The TIGER grant funds are available for capital projects only. Individual awards can range from $10 million to $200 million – with the exception of those projects in rural areas where the minimum award can be $1 million. In the last TIGER competition, rural awards ranged from $1 million to $13.5 million while urban awards ranged from $10 million to $20 million. The Agency’s service area covers both urban and rural areas. Pre-applications for TIGER grant funds were due no later than February 20, 2012. Due to Brown Act requirements, staff was unable to bring this item through normal Board Committee-vetting channels. Thus, it is being brought before the entire Board of Directors at this time. Assuming the pre-application for the Agency’s project is not eliminated during the pre-application evaluation phase, the final application is due no later than March 19, 2012.
Item 9 75
In addition, on February 7, 2012, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) began soliciting competitive grant program applications for the Bus and Bus Facilities Program under two separate initiatives: SGR and BLV. Subject to funding availability by Congress, the FTA will fund the SGR initiative with approximately $650 million and the BLV initiative with approximately $125 million. Eligible applicants include transit agencies. Applications for SGR grant funds are due no later than March 22, 2012. Applications for BLV grant funds are due no later than March 29, 2012.
If authorized, staff will apply for a total of $19.8 million in federal funds in each of the grant applications for the following project:
Replacement of 66 heavy-duty compressed natural gas (CNG) buses that have reached the end of their useful lives based on mileage at the time of grant application
The 66 replacement buses are part of the Agency’s overall heavy-duty CNG bus fleet replacement plan. By the end of the current calendar year (2012), the Agency’s entire 40-foot bus fleet – 94 buses – is anticipated to be eligible for retirement based on miles driven. Staff will be basing the applications on a 50% local match, meaning that the Agency plans to equally match each Federal dollar awarded. This is due to the fact that in the last TIGER competition, rural projects awarded averaged a 46% local match while urban projects awarded averaged a 65% local match. It is believed that increasing our local match share improves our likelihood of winning the maximum Federal funding across these three competitive grant programs. Attachments A, B, and C to this staff report are Board resolutions to support the applications to seek Federal funding under these competitive programs.
Fiscal Impact:
Should the Agency be awarded all or a portion of the requested $19.8 million in Federal funds, an equal amount (up to $19.8 million) of non-Federal funds will be required for the local match. Sufficient local match funding has been programmed by the Riverside County Transportation Commission to support these requests.
Item 9 76
Recommendation: Ratify Agency’s pre-application for TIGER funding.
Authorize staff to submit grant applications for Federal funding under the FY2012 TIGER, SGR, and BLV Initiatives. Approve Resolutions 2012-02, 2012-03, and 2012-04 in support of submitting the competitive grant applications for TIGER, SGR, and BLV.

February 23, 2012
TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Jim Kneepkens, Director of Marketing SUBJECT: Transportation NOW Update Summary: Transportation NOW has five chapters: Corona/Norco/District 2,
Greater Riverside, Moreno Valley/Perris, San Gorgonio Pass and Southwest. Each chapter meets monthly at a location convenient to the membership. Attendance includes transit users, elected officials, transit advocates, community activists and Riverside Transit Agency staff. This report summarizes the activities of each chapter for the month of January, 2012.
Corona/Norco/District 2 Chapter: The chapter began work on their
2012 goals including creation of a 5-10 minute video or PowerPoint presentation to be given by the chapter to area service clubs, school boards, colleges, etc. to get them excited about using public transportation. The chapter also discussed sponsoring a student video journal contest about the life of a college student using transit to dispel any negative stereotypes students may have. The chapter also discussed various local and national legislative issues.
Greater Riverside Chapter: Representing the Riverside County Transportation Commission, Mr. Dennis Green gave a presentation on the upcoming HOV lane extension on SR 91 from Adams Street to the 60/91/215 interchange. The project requires that all of the bridges and intersections be refigured, and there are currently 28 detours planned for the project. This will obviously impact RTA operations and RTA staff has been involved in ongoing meetings to stay aware of the situation. Moreno Valley/Perris Chapter: 2012 officer elections were held and Dave Raley was re-elected Chair, Patty Goodwin was re-elected Vice Chair, and Debbie Coulter was re-elected Secretary. Shor Denny from the Moreno Valley PTA Council spoke about Moreno

Valley’s efforts to secure Safe Routes to School funding and encouraged the group to take an active role in promoting safe travel by children to school. The chapter also continued work on their Air Aware Art Contest. San Gorgonio Pass Area Chapter: James Foster of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians informed the chapter that the Amtrak Fullerton line that provides service to the desert is now stopping twice daily at Morongo. The Youth Committee began to focus this year’s safety awareness and is looking to partner with the school district on this effort. Pass Transit’s Shopper Shuttle pilot route was very successful and they are looking to make the route permanent in their next SRTP. Southwest Chapter: Contract Operations Manager Virginia Werly gave a presentation on RTA’s Travel Training program which benefits seniors and persons with disabilities by transitioning them from Dial-A-Ride to fixed route bus service. The group developed a recruitment program to be marketed through local media.
Recommendation:
Receive and file.
