June 28, 2012

TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Financial Profile – May 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 May FY12.

Recommendation: Receive and file.

Item 7A 11

FINANCIAL PROFILE

May 2012

Overview May total revenue of $2,868,847 is $481,090 or 20 percent over budget. Year-to-date total revenue of $59,058,730 is $7,282,661 or 14 percent over budget. Both the monthly and year-to-date variances are attributable to greater than anticipated prior year capital contribution revenue and farebox revenue. May operating expenses of $4,298,910 are $304,630 or 7 percent under budget. Year-to-date expenses of $46,162,967 are $2,431,172 or 5 percent under budget. Variance analysis by cost element is provided in the financial discussion below. During the month of May, RTA carried a total of 810,607 passengers – another new record. The Agency has experienced record ridership in each of the last seven months and in 9 of the previous 10 months. May ridership consisted of 624,391 passengers on directly operated fixed routes, 150,847 on contracted fixed routes, and 35,369 Dial-A-Ride/Taxi Overflow trips. This reflects a system-wide ridership increase of 12 percent when comparing May 2012 to May 2011. FY12 year-to-date system-wide ridership of 8,118,957 reflects a 9 percent increase over the same period in FY11. Monthly ridership on fixed route service increased 11 percent over the prior year, while year-to-date fixed route ridership has increased 9 percent over the same period in FY11. These increases are attributed to – in part - the expansion of, and growing popularity with, the discounted pass programs with educational institutions. Of particular note, monthly CommuterLink ridership increased 15 percent over the same period in FY11, while year-to-date CommuterLink ridership has increased 18 percent over the same period in FY11. These increases are attributed to, in part, the aggressive marketing of this premium service as well as high gasoline prices. Monthly DAR/Taxi Overflow trips increased 20 percent over the prior year, while year-to-date DAR/Taxi ridership has 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 7A 12

During May, RTA provided a total of 54,691 revenue service hours and logged a total of 907,088 combined revenue miles. This reflects an increase of 9 percent in hours and an increase of 7 percent in miles, respectively, when comparing May 2012 to May 2011. FY12 year-to-date revenue service hours of 573,319 and revenue miles of 9,585,488 reflect an increase of 4 percent in hours and an increase of 3 percent in miles, respectively, when compared to the same period in FY11. May farebox revenue of $915,362 is $104,780 or 13 percent over budget. The year-to-date farebox revenue of $9,462,192 is $928,612 or 11 percent over budget. Both the monthly and year-to-date variances are attributed to the ridership increases discussed above as well as greater than anticipated pass sales.

Financial Discussion

Salaries and benefits expense of $2,048,812 is $121,048 or 6 percent under budget in May. Year-to-date salaries and benefits expenses of $22,234,176 are $615,012 or 3 percent under budget. Both the monthly and year-to-date variances are attributed to less than anticipated medical, pension, and paid time off expenses. Purchased transportation expenses of $1,586,194 are $75,534 or 5 percent under budget in May. Year-to-date purchased transportation expenses of $16,873,827 are $690,709 or 4 percent under budget. Both the monthly and year-to-date variances are attributed to contractual efficiencies. Total services expenses of $168,030 are $82,653 or 33 percent under budget in May. Year-to-date service expenses of $1,857,315 are $524,557 or 22 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 and contract services, and less than anticipated CNG Compressor Maintenance. Materials and supplies expenses of $319,279 are $13,454 or 4 percent over budget in May. Year-to-date materials and supplies expenses of $3,233,542 are $161,997 or 5 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 7A 13

Other expenses of $176,594 are $38,849 or 18 percent under budget in May. Year-to-date other expenses of $1,964,107 are $438,897 or 18 percent under budget. Both the monthly and year-to-date variances are attributed to less than anticipated insurance and training expenses.

* Transportation Development Act (TDA) and Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) allow for certain revenues to be both included and excluded from farebox recovery ratio calculation. TDA allows for certain expenses to be excluded from farebox recovery ratio calculation. These inclusions and exclusions make route level analysis misleading and thus are only meaningful at the systemwide level.

Item 7F 41

Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) 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 7F 42

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 7F 43

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 7F 44

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 underutilized routes.

FROM: Vince Rouzaud, Chief Procurement and Logistics Officer

SUBJECT: Authorization to Award Agreement No. 12-013 to Pacific Builders & Roofing, Inc. dba WSP Roofing for Maintenance Building Non-Structural Roof Replacement

Summary: Included in the Agency’s FY12 capital budget are capital improvement

projects for both the Riverside and Hemet facilities. One of the approved projects is the non-structural roof replacement for the bus maintenance building in Riverside. This facility is approximately 30 years old and in need of repair. Re-roofing the bus maintenance building using current roofing materials and technology will add another 20-plus years of serviceability to this facility.

On April 10, 2012, staff issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 12-013. The

procurement was publicly advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and a notice was posted on the Agency’s website along with a copy of the IFB document. The Agency also sent notices of the contracting opportunity to the Chambers’ of Commerce for those cities that are members of the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). On May 15, 2012, the Agency received 11 responsive and responsible bids from the following vendors:

Firm Name / Location Bid Amount

Pacific Builder’s and Roofing (WSP), Roseville, CA $158,000.00 Anning-Johnson Company, Industry, CA $166,360.00 Cabral Roofing & Waterproofing Corp., Montebello, CA $181,057.00 Commercial & Industrial Roofing Co., Spring Valley, CA $198,949.00 Vance & Associates Roofing, Anaheim, CA $205,687.00 Best Contracting Services, Inc., Gardena, CA $214,599.00 Sylvester Roofing Co., Escondido, CA $215,525.00 Letner Roofing Co., Orange, CA $236,079.00 All Weather Roofing, Upland, CA $247,211.75 CIS Roofing, Inc., Mission Viejo, CA $280,000.00 Western States Roofing, Northridge, CA $280,143.00

In addition, staff also received bids from two other vendors, Roofing Standards, Inc., Placentia, CA and McDonnell Roofing, Inc., Anaheim, CA. Both vendors did not include with their submittal their most current audited financial statements as required in the IFB and were determined “non-responsive”.

Item 7J 52

The purpose of soliciting financial information is to determine if a vendor has sufficient financial strength, resources and capability to finance the work to be performed and to complete the contract in a satisfactory manner. Roofing Standards Inc. has protested the award claiming their omission of the requisite financial information constituted a “minor irregularity”. Staff is currently working with General Counsel to deny this protest as Federal procurement guidelines require FTA recipients make awards only to responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform successfully under the terms of a proposed procurement. Consideration is given to such matters as contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources. Staff reviewed Pacific Builders & Roofing’s submittal to ensure it complied with all requirements of the IFB. In addition, references were checked to ensure prior customers were satisfied with their performance and quality of work. Based on the above pricing, staff recommends awarding a contract to Pacific Builders & Roofing (dba WSP Roofing), the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. As with all construction-type projects, staff is also recommending approval of a 5% contingency amount of $7,900 to be utilized in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funds to cover this request are included in the Agency’s capital budget.

June 28, 2012

TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Vince Rouzaud, Chief Procurement and Logistics Officer SUBJECT: Authorization to Enter into Agreement No. 12-015 with the City of

Riverside for the Renewal of the City Employee Pass (City Pass) Program

Summary: Since FY08, the Agency and the City of Riverside have partnered in a

City Employee Pass (City Pass) program that enables City of Riverside (City) employees to utilize their employee identification (ID) cards to ride the Agency’s fixed-route and Commuterlink buses at no cost to the employee. The Agency is reimbursed by the City at a discounted fare and the revenue generated from the City Pass program is based on actual ridership. Staff is proposing to extend the program for another year.

Renewal of the program has been discussed with City staff and funds are being allocated to continue the program for next fiscal year. The program has steadily increased in popularity with City employees since its inception. Actual ridership figures available through the first ten months of this fiscal year show 10,307 trips taken or 1,031 trips per month on average. This represents a 9.1 percent increase over last fiscal year’s average monthly trips of 945. Based on a combination of actual ridership to date and projections for the remaining months of May and June of the current fiscal year, the FY12 ridership of 12,713 trips is projected to increase by 8.7 percent or 13,921 trips for FY13. If approved, the new Agreement would become effective July 1, 2012 and run through June 30, 2013.

Item 7L 56

Fiscal Impact:

Staff anticipates the City Pass program will generate approximately $17,128.10 in fare revenue for FY13.



Recommendation:

Authorize staff to enter into Agreement No. 12-015 with the City of Riverside for the renewal of the City Employee Pass Program for the period beginning July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

Riverside, CA 92507

June 28, 2012 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Vince Rouzaud, Chief Procurement and Logistics Officer SUBJECT: Approve a Two-Percent Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)

Participation Goal for Federal Fiscal Years 2013-2015 as Required Under Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Guidelines per 49 C.F.R. Part 26

Summary: Historically, the Agency has been required to establish and submit an

annual Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal to the FTA in order to maintain the Agency’s eligibility to receive Federal financial assistance from the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT). The purpose of establishing a DBE participation goal is to promote increased participation in federally-assisted contracts by small, socially, and economically disadvantaged business enterprises.

In Federal fiscal year 2010, the U.S. DOT amended provisions of 49 C.F.R Part 26, effectively changing this requirement from an annual DBE goal to a triennial goal. Our current DBE goal of two-percent, approved by the Board in July 2009 and submitted to the FTA in August 2009, is in effect through September 30, 2012. In February of 2011, the U.S. DOT amended provisions of 49 C.F.R. Part 26 requiring DBE participation programs to include a Small Business Participation element. At the April 2012 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved a Small Business Participation Policy that is now incorporated within the Agency’s DBE program. Accordingly, the renewal of the Agency’s triennial DBE participation goal includes this new requirement.

As required by the U.S. DOT, 49 C.F.R. Part 26, the Agency must set its

triennial goal using its best efforts to meet the goal through race neutral measures. While best efforts and race neutral measures are used to encourage and promote participation, if the Agency’s goal is not reached, then specific contract goals may be considered. Historically, the Agency has not needed to bolster its DBE participation with the establishment of contract specific goals.

The U.S. DOT’s Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization

‘recommendations and suggested methodologies’ were utilized to

Item 9 59

develop the Agency’s DBE goal for this next period. By using these tools, a proposed goal of two-percent was calculated. The resulting step by step methodology is set forth in the attached “Riverside Transit Agency – Proposed DBE Overall Goal”. Also, an unsigned copy of the Agency’s DBE Policy Statement is attached for informational purposes only; it will be executed and posted internally at the Agency upon the completion of the public comment period.

If approved by the Board, the Agency will issue a public notice of its

proposed triennial goal and methodology used to calculate that goal. These documents are required to be available for public review during normal business hours for a period of 30 days; public comments are accepted for a period of 45 days.

Fiscal Impact:

Establishing a 3-year DBE participation goal is required for continued eligibility to receive Federal financial-assistance from the FTA.



Recommendation:

Approve a two-percent DBE participation goal for Federal fiscal years 2013-2015.

Item 9 60

FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2013-2015 DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) PROGRAM

RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY PROPOSED TRIENNIAL DBE GOAL

As required by Federal Regulations 49 CFR Part 26, public agencies receiving Federal Department of Transportation funds must adopt a three-year DBE goal. Utilization of race neutral measures is the preferred method of achieving DBE participation. Contract specific goals may be established in those instances when it is anticipated that exclusive use of race neutral measures may not be sufficient to achieve the Agency’s goal. The following methodology was used to establish a Rounded Weighted Base Figure for DBE availability and the resulting goal for DBE participation for FFYs 2013-2015.

I. GOAL METHODOLOGY First, the number of ready, willing, and able DBEs is determined by evaluating the following data: a) prospective and existing DBE vendors who have either previously or currently provided goods or services to the Agency; b) DBEs who have registered on the Agency’s website as a prospective vendor; c) DBEs from the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database; and d) DBEs who have participated in past procurements (bid list information). Table 1 below calculates weighted federal project dollars by the ‘North American Industrial Classification System’ (NAICS) code categories for the Agency’s contracting opportunities. Using the percentage of federal funds available for contracting opportunities in FFYs 2013-2015, the result is a weighted percentage base figure for each category reflecting those contracting opportunities directly associated with federal funds and specifically anticipated under the Agency’s budget.

Table 2 below then determines the relative availability of DBE contractors by using both the Agency’s internal prospective vendor database and the California Unified Certification Program’s vendor database as discussed above. The number of available vendors within each project NAICS code is used to determine the relative availability of DBE contractors within the Agency’s service area for this year’s project.

II. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BASE FIGURE

Next, several factors, as outlined under Title 49, were evaluated to consider whether the rounded weighted base figure of Table 3 needed adjustment to ensure it reflects, as accurately as possible, the DBE participation the Agency could expect in the absence of discrimination. The Agency reviewed the disparity study completed by the State of California Department of Transportation. However, the data available from this disparity study reflected utilization trends throughout the state and generally included a mix of project

Item 9 63

types more related to general transportation (fixed guideways) than transit related projects typical for the Agency. Accordingly, this adjustment criterion was not used. Other agency goals were not utilized as an adjustment factor as no other U.S. DOT recipients with substantially similar contracting opportunities and similar market areas were identified. Further, no comments were received during the last public comment period for use as an adjustment factor. Finally, the federal contracting opportunities identified for this period (Table 1 above) continue to be substantially limited from past years (lower levels of federal funding; see staff report to Board Administration and Operations Committee dated May 2, 2012 ‘Request to Open Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 Operating Budget, Capital Budget and Short Range Transit Plan’). Past DBE participation has been achieved primarily through the award of prime contracts. DBE participation in the form of subcontracts has been infrequent and minimal. Analysis has shown this is due to the relatively small size of many of the Agency’s contracting opportunities which limit the subcontracting opportunities. After reviewing the information presented herein, staff recommends no adjustment be made to the proposed overall Agency goal of 2.00% (the weighted percentage base figure from Table 3).

III. ANTICIPATED PROJECTS FOR FEDERAL FISCAL YEARS 2013-2015

The following projects represent the anticipated federally funded capital contracting opportunities for the Federal Fiscal Years beginning October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015. The Agency anticipates $8,638,194 will be available for capital projects during the upcoming federal fiscal year periods. The federal dollar portion of this amount equals $6,910,556 (dollars available for contracting opportunities). By applying the proposed DBE goal of 2.00% the Agency projects potential expenditures of $138,211 with DBEs during this period for the contracting opportunities listed in Table 1 above.

Item 9 64

IV. UTILIZATION OF RACE/GENDER-NEUTRAL METHOD

The Agency will meet its annual goal by using race-neutral methods of facilitating DBE participation. The Agency actively seeks to solicit procurement participation from DBE certified firms and affirmatively ensures the same in its public notices. Race-neutral methods include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

• DBE participation through a prime contract obtained through competitive procurement procedures.

• DBE participation through a subcontract on a prime contract without a DBE goal

• DBE participation on a prime contract exceeding a contract goal

• DBE participation through a subcontract from a prime contractor that did not consider a firm’s DBE status in its award process

• Agency participation in local area DBE outreach events The Agency will also make efforts to ensure that Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Invitation for Bids (IFBs) and all corresponding contracting requirements foster participation by DBEs and other small businesses. The Agency encourages prime contractors to subcontract portions of the work to DBEs. Formal RFPs and IFBs are available on the Agency’s website as is the Agency’s DBE policy and general information about “how to do business” with the Agency. The Agency also informs its contractors of the state Unified Certification Program and publishes contact information for the certifying agencies in its formal procurement documents.

V. PUBLIC NOTICE IN SETTING OVERALL ANNUAL DBE GOAL The Agency will place a public notice in the Passenger Transport, a widely circulated publication, and in the Press Enterprise, a locally circulated newspaper. The notice will inform the public of the proposed goals and that the rationale for the goal is available for review for a 30-day period with comments being accepted for a 45-day period. In order to provide sufficient public notice, the Notice will be published upon board approval of the proposed goal. The notice will read as follows:

Item 9 65

VI. ESTABLISHMENT OF GOAL

Based upon the information and methodology presented above, it is proposed that the Agency’s overall annual goal for the Federal Fiscal Years 2013-2015 be established at 2.00%.

LEGAL NOTICE FOR

RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE GOAL

Gentlemen/Ladies:

The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) has proposed an overall goal of 2.00% for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation in contracting opportunities during the 2013 - 2015 Federal Fiscal Years beginning October 1, 2012, pursuant to 49 CFR Part 26. Documentation on the methodology of the DBE goal and the recently revised DBE plan are available for inspection for 30 days from the date of this notice, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the offices of RTA located at 1825 Third Street, Riverside, California 92507. Comments regarding the goals and the plan will be accepted for 45 days from the date of this notice. Anyone wanting to request further information or to discuss RTA’s DBE program should contact Natalie Zaragoza at the address listed or by calling (951) 565-5194.

Item 9 66

SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION POLICY

A. PURPOSE

Small businesses are important to the growth and development of Riverside County and they make valuable contributions to our nation’s economy. The purpose of this statement is to establish a policy under which the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) will seek to foster the growth and development of small business as a part of its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program.

B. POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY

It is the policy of the RTA to ensure that opportunities to compete for and receive a fair share of RTA’s procurement expenditures are provided to small businesses. For purposes of this policy, small businesses are as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part 26.5 and the Small Business Act and Small Business Administration regulations under Title 13, part 121.

The RTA’s Contract Manager shall serve as the Agency’s point of contact for small businesses and will oversee the implementation of this policy.

C. FOSTERING SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION It is the policy of the RTA to ensure that, on an annual basis, a reasonable number of prime contracts are of a size that small businesses, including DBEs, can reasonably perform. Small business participation is actively encouraged by careful procurement planning to eliminate unnecessary and unjustified bundling of contract requirements into a single contract. Unbundling requirements at the procurement level eliminates the preclusion of small business participation and encourages the participation of small business by offering meaningful contracting opportunities that small business can manage with their resources.

Item 9 67

I. It is the policy of the RTA to engage in outreach activities and programs to assist, counsel, and advise small businesses on how to pursue contracting opportunities with RTA.

II. RTA shall continue to foster an environment where highly skilled suppliers and vendors may compete successfully for a fair share of RTA’s procurements based on their own merits; and will encourage large businesses to increase subcontracting opportunities for small businesses.

III. RTA will publish and post information to assist small businesses in its contracting efforts. For example, RTA will post on its website (1) a forecast of future contract opportunities, (2) Current procurement opportunities with RTA, and (3) “How to do Business with RTA” to assist small businesses in marketing its service and products to RTA.

June 28, 2012 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Gordon Robinson, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Approve the Revision of the Service Standards and Warrants Guidelines for

Existing and New Transit Services Summary: Each year, the Agency’s Board of Directors approves revisions to the Service

Standards and Warrants as a guiding document for existing and new transit services. The Service Standards and Warrants document is used in the planning and operation functions of the Agency to set the foundation for route design and resource management. Service standards play an important role for assisting staff in responding to numerous requests and proposals for service modifications from customers, local and regional agencies, business and academic organizations, developers, public, and planning and technical studies. With standards in place, criteria are used to measure which and when service modifications will take effect. New service warrants are also necessary for the design and implementation of new routes because it provides a rationale by which new services can be prioritized and justified. Since the adoption of these guidelines with the last Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) in 2007, the current framework includes updates to the Agency’s route listing including classifications, vehicle fleet, new service warrants, and an added distribution of transit amenities standard. The revised Service Standards and Warrants Guidelines document is included in Attachment A.

The table below contains a summary of changes by section:

SERVICE STANDARDS & WARRANTS GUIDELINES

Adopted January 2009 Revised June 2012

Item 10 71

I. Purpose Service standards are resourceful for the planning and operation of a transit agency as it provides the foundation for route design and resource management. The Riverside Transit Agency (Agency) recognizes the importance of evaluating its services and has conducted an extensive study on how its own service standards will be used through the use of reports and studies conducted by leading transportation research programs and other transit agencies. One of the most prominent transportation research bodies is the Transit Research Board (TRB). The TRB is a leader of transportation research and innovation. It is one of six major divisions of the National Research Council which is a private, nonprofit institution that is the principal operating agency of the National Academies in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. Among the many research programs that TRB administers are those funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) such as the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP). FTA provides TCRP approximately $8 million annually to study operating problems and address them with approaches to help meet the demands placed on public transit systems. The results of this program have produced numerous studies and findings that are highly regarded and used in the transit industry, and are incorporated into the Agency’s Service Standards and Warrants Guidelines. In June 2007, the Board accepted the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) as a guiding document for service enhancements over the course of the next five to ten years. Among the strategies and recommendations included in the COA’s Service Improvement Plan are “Service Standards” (Section 4.5). The service standards provided in the COA outline the recommended minimum levels of providing public transit with respect to design characteristics such as route structure, coverage, span of service, and on-time performance. Since the acceptance of the COA, service has been measured against the standards and was formerly adopted by the Agency’s Board of Directors in January 2009. The service standards in the COA are based primarily on peer comparisons and stakeholder consultation along with the experiences of professional staff. However, while most standards are applicable others needed to be modified to reflect the demographics and characteristics of western Riverside County.

As the Agency operates transit services within the second largest service area in the nation, it is necessary to have standards and warrants that reflect western Riverside County’s demographic and geographic diversity, namely the differences in service levels for Regional, Local, Rural, Express, and Trolley or Special service types which are unique to the region. Service standards are also used to evaluate numerous requests and proposals for service modifications that are received from a variety of sources including customers, employees, transit professionals, and technical resources. With standards in place, a

Item 10 72

criterion is used to measure how and when service modifications will take effect. New service warrants are also necessary for the design and implementation of new routes because it provides a rationale by which new services can be justified. Service standards and warrants, sometimes known as service design standards and guidelines at other transit agencies, is different and independent of the Riverside County Transportation Commission’s (RCTC) Productivity Improvement Program (PIP). While PIP is an effective tool in the measurement of performance, its primary purpose is to determine financial viability of service.

There are eight measures in the PIP, but there are two performance indicators that are more closely monitored, which are Farebox Recovery and Passengers per Revenue Hour. These are the primary measurements for determining service performance based on the PIP standards. Farebox recovery is the only mandatory target. For the other targets, the Agency must meet or exceed four of the remaining seven to continue receiving Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding as an RCTC requirement.

The mandatory target, farebox recovery, is mandated by the State of California and requires that a transit agency maintain a minimum threshold to continue receipt of Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. The farebox recovery ratio is a blended percentage based on a requirement for urbanized transit service to maintain a farebox recovery of 20 percent and rural transit service to maintain a farebox recovery of 10 percent. Each PIP target is updated annually with the Agency’s Short Range Transit Plan.

In addition to these factors, service change recommendations are based on analysis inclusive of public comments, ridership data, and operational characteristics.

Item 10 73

II. Service Standards There are several factors that are typically considered when objectively measuring service performance. These factors in addition to the PIP help in the determination of whether service is effective at meeting the common needs of the community.

A. Population Density

The level of service is determined by the number of people to serve in a particular area. Population density can be measured in miles, by zip code, census tract, neighborhoods, or any number of logical factors. Typically density is measured in the number of people per square mile since FTA recognizes coverage based on distance from service in miles. Density is determined in two fundamental ways - number of people housed per square mile or the number of employees per square mile. Agency staff works with city, county, and regional planners to estimate current and future density to properly plan for future public transportation access.

A typical standard of route design is such that 85% of all residences, places of work, secondary and post secondary schools, shopping centers, and public facilities in the Agency’s urban transit service area are within a walking distance of 1,500 ft. of a bus stop during the daytime Monday through Saturday.

Area % of Fixed Route DistanceUrban 85% 1,500-ft

Non-Urban 100% Undefined Based on United States Census Bureau (US Census) 2010 data, western Riverside County is comprised of a highly diverse transit market. However, less than two percent of the 1.7 million service area population comprises the ridership of the Agency. Further, 94.7% percent of the population in RTA’s service area lives within an Urbanized Area, or “UZA.” A large UZA consists of a population over 200,000 and in the Agency’s service area, the greater Riverside and Temecula-Murrieta areas both qualify. All small UZA’s consist of a population between 50,000 and 200,000. The Hemet/San Jacinto area qualifies as a small UZA.

When evaluating the density of an area the demand for service is also considered. Some areas have significant density but have little service demand. Automobile centric and higher income communities are but a few examples of areas that may have sufficient density with little demand for public transit.

Item 10 74

B. Route Classifications

Route classifications help define the type of service to operate based on the density of the area in which the service is routed. The Agency’s fixed route services can be classified into five categories – Regional, Local, Rural, Express, and Trolley or Special. Complementary to the fixed route service is paratransit service, also known as Dial-A-Ride (DAR).

• A Regional route service is the backbone of the network as it operates between metropolitan areas on primary corridors and may utilize the freeway system to travel between communities. It is not uncommon for regional service to travel through non-urban areas to link two urban areas. Within a metropolitan area, stops are spaced at urban intervals (based on the ¼ mile walking distance of determining stop locations under section “D. Bus Stop Spacing”), in which these routes serve a secondary purpose of transporting passengers locally.

• Local routes supplement Regional routes by circulating through various neighborhoods and serving secondary corridors. A Local route also serves as feeder routes to Regional and Express routes and transports customers within a community on shorter trips. Bus stop spacing is at urban service intervals.

• An exclusive Rural route serves as lifeline service that feeds

regional service. Given the growth of western Riverside County, rural route service is primarily limited to portions of Regional route service and areas between cities.

• Express routes provide limited stop service designed to transport

commuters to and from employment sites and provide connections to service outside western Riverside County. Labeled as CommuterLink, these buses use the freeway system to provide faster service.

• Trolley routes or Special service are designed to meet the needs of

a specific market or community and often are designed as a circulator to serve a targeted group with common travel patterns.

• DAR paratransit service complements fixed route service for

customers who are physically challenged and are unable to navigate their way to a bus stop. DAR service is offered curb to curb within three-quarters of a mile of fixed route service, excluding express routes. DAR service coincides with the hours of fixed route service. Passengers eligible for the service are seniors and those qualified under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.

Item 10 75

When used effectively route classifications provide the community with a balanced service structure. The following table highlights the classification of each of the Agency’s fixed route services:

Directly Operated Routes Contract Operated Routes 1 Regional 3 Local

10 Local 7 Local 11 Local 8 Local 12 Local 212 Local 13 Local 23 Local 14 Regional 24 Local 15 Local 30 Local 16 Local 311 Rural1 18 Local 32 Local 19 Regional 33 Local 20 Regional 35 Regional 212 Local 40 Local 22 Regional 413 Regional 27 Regional 42 Local 29 Regional 50 Trolley 413 Regional 51 Trolley 49 Regional 55 Trolley 54 Local 61 Regional

204 Express 74 Regional 206 Express 79 Regional 2083 Express 202 Express 216 Express 2083 Express

210 Express 212 Express 217 Express

1 Rural areas are defined as less than 50,000 in population. 2 Effective September 9, 2012 with the September 2012 service change, Route split between Directly Operated and Contract Operated service based on ridership demand. 3 Route split between Directly Operated and Contract Operated service based on ridership demand.

C. Span of Service

The span of service, the hours of operation, refers to the start and end time of a route. Depending on the route structure (e.g. Regional, Local, Rural, Express, Trolley or Special), the span of service will vary depending on the demand in the community. In urbanized areas, bus service is expected to start earlier and end

Item 10 76

later in the day; whereas, for Local and Rural routes, the demand for earlier and later service may not be present. The days of operation also contribute to when bus service will be provided.

In the Agency’s transit system, all fixed routes are proposed to operate weekdays from at least 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and, depending on ridership and land use patterns, can start as early as 4:00 a.m. and stay in service until 10:30 p.m. on weekdays under ideal financial times.

Under the current economic conditions and resources, and to continue to provide customers with adequate service, the revenue service hours for the Agency are described below:

Based on hours of fixed-routes, excluding Express services

Weekday Saturday Sunday

Ridership on weekdays accounts for the majority of boarding activities and is mainly attributed to riders who utilize public transit for employment and educational purposes. On weekends, the hours of service is reduced as demand is lower resulting from most people having a traditional weekday work and school schedule.

Express routes mainly operate weekdays during peak hours in the morning and evening to accommodate commuters. The hours of operation are adjusted based on peak direction commute patterns to meet commuter trains and regional employment and education centers start and end times. Ridership can necessitate modifications to the peak hours in order to accommodate additional service demand, such as seasonal weekday and weekend trips or overflow capacities.

Trolley or Special routes operate based on the customer market base, whether it is aimed at transporting commuters or students and its days of operation may also vary depending on whether the demand for service is seasonal.

D. Bus Stop Spacing

Route coverage refers to the spacing distance between adjoining routes. This criterion is used to guide spacing between bus stops to maximize patron

Item 10 77

accessibility to transit service within the resources available. Depending on the population density, bus stop spacing in the Agency’s urbanized areas usually averages about 1,500 ft. (.28 miles) to 2,500 ft. (.47 miles). As service approaches more suburban and rural areas, bus stop spacing may be limited to locations with accessible curb and gutters and sidewalks suitable for ADA compliance. For Express routes that travel longer distances, the number of bus stops will be limited and are located in cities and communities that will attract the greatest number of commuters traveling in the same direction.

Density Characteristics Bus Stop Spacing Very High: Over 5,000 persons per sq. mile (e.g., activity centers such as hospitals, colleges, and universities) Density = >15 units/acre

Every 1/8 mile to ¼ mile

High: 4,000 to 5,000 persons per sq. mile (e.g., apartments, senior housing, offices, and commercial centers) Density = 8-15 units/acre

Every ¼ mile

Medium: 2,000 to 4,000 persons per sq. mile Density = 5-7 units/acre Every ¼ mile to ½ mile

Low or Rural: Less than 2,000 persons per sq. mile Density = 1-4 units/acre

Every ¼ mile to 1 mile or more if outside development area

Bus stop spacing has an impact on average speed of service. The more stops a bus makes along a route, the lower the average speed of travel.

E. On-Time Performance

On-time performance, also known as schedule adherence reporting, is the deviation of actual arrival and departure time from the timetable or schedule. On-time performance standards vary in the industry depending on the size of the transit operator, generally the larger the size of operations the more stringent the standard (TCRP, 1995). Other factors such as density and route distances are also considered in setting an on-time standard.

The Agency is considered a medium size operator and requires that no bus shall leave a time point early, and should arrive at a time point no later than 6 minutes after the scheduled arrival time. This 6 minute window is appropriate for the Agency’s service area due to the average distance traveled by each route and the combined rural and urban areas.

Transit agencies typically set a standard in percentages of on-time arrivals that they desire to achieve as a measure of good service quality. Among medium size transit systems, the typical desired level of system-wide on-time performance is between 80 to 95 percent.

Item 10 78

On-Time Performance TargetOn-Time 0 to 6 minutesStandard 90%Target 85%

One theory in setting standards is to set targets. A desired standard may not be achievable within the first year or so given the starting point of the current conditions. An example is if on-time performance is 62 percent, achieving a standard of 90 percent may be difficult within 12 months of operations without significant investment of resources. Setting a target below the standard, such as 80 percent, would act as a way to benchmark service improvements over the course of a 12 month period. To make gains towards improving on-time performance, agencies establish targets that demonstrate continuous improvements as they work toward standards.

With the use of ITS software, on-time performance is collected daily and measured monthly for all directly operated routes. Contracted service on-time performance is measured by supervisor surveys randomly completed each week. The average number of observations is 28.5 per day.

Given the two different ways of collecting on-time performance data and blending the two types of operations, a standard of 85 percent or above is considered achievable. Using the theory of setting targets to reach a goal, the standard of 90 percent could be set with a first year target of achieving over 85 percent schedule adherence. Should the on-time performance of a specific route fall below the target of 85%, a schedule adherence analysis will be conducted to improve the running time.

F. Headways

Headway, also known as frequency, is the maximum interval between each scheduled fixed route bus (i.e. bus travels every 30 minutes). Headways are essential to the quality of service. Studies such as the COA have found that higher frequency headways correlate to higher ridership. However, this conventional theory is true if demand is supported by high density. Within the system, current headways range from every 20 minutes to every 120 minutes, depending on the density and demand for service. As services are routed away from urbanized areas, maximum intervals are higher to match ridership demand.

Clock-face schedules are an attribute of consistent headways and are intervals of 20 minute increments for the purpose of this analysis. The COA study recommended that headways on most routes in urban areas be at intervals of at least 15 minutes. Based on financial and resource constraints, staff finds a closer match for headways to be at intervals of 20/40/60 minutes for Local route service. This means that all route schedules would operate at 20, 40, or 60

Item 10 79

minutes. Regional service headways currently expand to every 100 minutes. Clock-face schedules can be a powerful marketing tool as the customer can depend on service coming at specific time intervals. Effort is given to timing transfers based on headway intervals.

G. Transfer Wait Time

Transfer wait time is the time a customer has to wait for another bus route to arrive at a transfer point. The COA proposed that at timed transfer points, buses should be scheduled so that the wait time is not longer than 5 minutes for arriving buses or Metrolink trains. However, to more closely match the geographic and demographic demands of the system, timed transfers can vary depending on the distance and frequency of a route.

In more urbanized areas such as downtown Riverside, transfer wait times will not be longer than approximately 20 minutes. However, in smaller urbanized and even in rural areas, the transfer wait time can reach 30 to 45 minutes depending on the frequencies of the routes in the area.

For a Regional route, the Agency expects that transfer wait times should not exceed 20 minutes. For Local and Rural routes, transfer wait times should not exceed 30 to 45 minutes. For an Express route, which is usually timed to train transfers, transfer wait time should not exceed 20 to 30 minutes.

H. Load Factor

The maximum vehicle loadings refer to the maximum number of passengers per bus, including standees. Depending on the bus, the maximum number of passengers should not exceed 150% of the seating capacity or the legal weight limit of the bus.

Load factors are based on the type of vehicle and service route classification type. The Agency’s fixed route fleet consists of seven types of vehicles each

Item 10 80

having varying seating and standee limitations. The only service which should not exceed seated capacity is DAR vehicles.

III. Distribution of Transit Amenities Transit amenities such as shelters, benches, kiosks, trash receptacles, and illuminated lighting devices will be distributed equitably throughout the service area based on boarding levels, proximity to major landmarks such as commercial or employment centers, population need (i.e. senior communities), and geographic location. IV. Productivity vs. Coverage Target To help improve effectiveness and efficiency it is prudent to set a target for the productivity level of service to operate. In order to meet productivity requirements while continuing to provide coverage to areas that would not be serviced if performance were the only factor, peer agencies have adopted standards requiring 60 to 80 percent of their fixed route service to perform up to productivity factors and 20 to 40 percent of fixed route service operated as coverage routes to meet the standards. Currently overall Agency service is about 50/50 (productive/coverage). The service that exceeds performance standards enables the Agency to provide more effective and efficient operations in areas of need that do not meet performance standards. Given the Agency’s diverse service area, there are places that are being served based on the need to provide coverage. To maximize cost efficiency, a higher percentage of service should be designed to improve productivity and a smaller percentage of service designed based on coverage. With a greater percentage of service being productive, this allows the Agency the flexibility to sustain service based on coverage. The approved criterion for all new and existing service is 60 percent to be productive and 40 percent to be based on coverage. This establishes the benchmark for productive service to meet mandatory farebox recovery. However, it also allows for new service to be implemented following TDA guidelines for exemption of inclusion and exclusion based on performance standards within the year the service was implemented and the following two fiscal years.

Item 10 81

This objective enables transit operators to maintain highly productive service and still meet the requirements of the Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI). It is the policy of the Agency to ensure compliance with Title VI so that no person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. V. New Service Warrants The service standards described herein are used as a measurement for the implementation and performance monitoring of existing and new services. PIP targets are updated annually and new service can be exempted from meeting the required criteria for up to two years. The performance of new service is evaluated during this initial period on whether or not it meets the Productivity or Coverage target. If a route fails to perform up to standards, it may be discontinued. New services should adhere to the Agency’s Sustainable Funding Source Policy approved in September 2010. The enactment of the policy provides a framework which assures that funding sources, particularly temporary financial assistance or “seed” money are utilized only on service that has a significant potential to be productive and financially sustainable when funding expires or is depleted. This encourages the use of new or expanded service to demonstrate that it is warranted by meeting productivity standards over an established period of time.

Riverside, CA 92507

June 28, 2012 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Gordon Robinson, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Authorization to Close the Public Hearing and Discontinue Three Trips on

Route 210. Enter into Cooperative Agreement No. 12-027 with SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) for the Sharing of Costs on SunLine Route 220 Effective September 9, 2012

Summary: On May 24, 2012, the Board of Directors (Board) approved the opening of a

public hearing to receive comments on the proposed discontinuation of three trips on CommuterLink Route 210. Route 210 travels between Banning and downtown Riverside with stops in Banning, Beaumont, Moreno Valley, University of California at Riverside (UCR), and the downtown Riverside area. The service currently operates weekdays only during peak commute hours for a total of seven trips per day, four westbound trips in the morning and three eastbound in the evening as shown in Attachment A.

SunLine is proposing to implement a new express service, SunLine Route 220, between Palm Desert and downtown Riverside effective on September 10, 2012 in coordination with the Agency’s September 9, 2012 service change. Since a portion of SunLine Route 220 would overlap the Agency’s Route 210 between Banning and downtown Riverside, as shown in Attachment B, staff is recommending the elimination of three trips on Route 210 as depicted in Attachment C. Staff anticipates that Route 210 passengers on the three affected trips will not be impacted as the proposed schedule for SunLine Route 220 will offer the same trip times and connections between Banning and downtown Riverside. To educate and solicit feedback from the general public and other stakeholders regarding the proposed service modifications, staff conducted two public meetings regarding the proposed service modifications:

1. The first meeting was held at the Beaumont Civic Center - Room 2 at

6:45 p.m. on May 30, 2012. No members of the general public attended the meeting.

Item 11 83

2. On May 31, 2012, a second public meeting was held at the Riverside County Administrative Center, First Floor – Room 2A, at 12:00 p.m. No members of the general public attended the meeting.

In addition to the public meetings, staff discussed the proposed service change at a regular meeting of the San Gorgonio Pass Area Transportation Now Chapter on June 7, 2012. The only concerns raised were related to the number of proposed SunLine Route 220 trips as compared to the total number of Route 210 trips. With the implementation of SunLine Route 220, including the elimination of three Route 210 trips, 8 trips (5 westbound, 3 eastbound) would be offered to the public between Banning and downtown Riverside instead of 7 (Attachment D). As a result, existing westbound service levels are improved between Banning and downtown Riverside while eastbound service levels are maintained. Questions regarding ridership levels and key destination points on Route 210 and SunLine Route 220 were expressed, but no additional concerns regarding the proposal were received. As of June 19, 2012, the Agency received four public comments. One comment was received verbally at the May 24, 2012 Board meeting requesting additional trips on SunLine Route 220 in the reverse direction during the morning and evening periods. The other three comments were received in writing via email. One of the written comments expressed support for the Route 210 and SunLine Route 220 services to travel to and from Palm Desert. Another written comment suggested adding non-commute trips and a new route in the Coachella Valley (SunLine service area) to connect with the Agency’s routes 31 and 35 in Banning. The remaining written comment contained specific questions relative to SunLine’s Route 220 operations and service area obligations. These specific inquiries were forwarded to SunLine staff for evaluation. Public transportation agencies serving large urbanized areas of greater than 200,000 in population must conduct a service and fare equity analysis during the planning and programming stages to determine whether service and/or fare changes have a discriminatory impact. Per the Federal Transit Administration’s Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964, service and fare equity analysis of a major service reduction is required. Staff completed a detailed assessment resulting in no identified disparate treatments or impacts to minority or low-income individuals. Current Route 210 passengers (approximately 36), will not be impacted by the proposed changes due to resulting improvement in service levels along the route alignment with the implementation of SunLine Route 220. In addition, SunLine proposes to assume the Agency’s fare structure and schedule to maintain connectivity to Metrolink services and other bus service connections in which our patrons rely on each weekday.

Item 11 84

The public hearing and public meetings were advertised on Route 210 buses and publicized in the Press Enterprise and La Prensa newspapers, RTA Reader newsletter, and Rider News cards to encourage feedback. Other means of collecting input included the Agency’s web site, email, phone, and postal mail. SunLine is currently progressing through the required public hearing, Fiscal Year (FY13) budget, and Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) approval steps in order to implement SunLine Route 220. The anticipated approval date for the items listed above is June 27, 2012. If SunLine obtains the required approvals to implement SunLine Route 220, staff recommends the discontinuation of three duplicative trips on Route 210 effective with the September 9, 2012 service change.

Cooperative Agreement No. 12-027 is an interagency service agreement between the Agency and SunLine which outlines roles and responsibilities for fare integration, stop maintenance and other operational logistics, and funding reimbursement arrangements between the two agencies. The initial term of the agreement is proposed to commence on September 9, 2012 through September 7, 2013 contingent upon the implementation of SunLine Route 220. Three 12-month option term extensions are included in the agreement for future Board consideration and approval by both agencies. The maximum term of this Agreement shall be the period extending from September 9, 2012 through September 10, 2016, which encompasses the initial term, first option term, second option term, and third option term.

Fiscal Impact: With the implementation of SunLine Route 220, SunLine proposes to

provide service within the Agency’s service area between Banning and downtown Riverside. As such, the Agency intends to share equally the local match costs associated with the operation of SunLine Route 220. Excluding SunLine’s federal grant funding and estimated farebox revenues, the FY13 local match required to fund the annual cost of operation for SunLine Route 220 is $123,194. Based on the cost sharing agreement, the Agency’s portion is $61,597 which is contingent upon approval of the Agency’s FY13 Operating Budget and SRTP.

In comparison to current Route 210 annual costs of approximately $142,689 for the operation of 7 daily trips, an annual cost savings estimated at $66,456 would occur with the proposed elimination of three trips. With the inclusion of the Agency’s cost sharing portion of $61,597, this would result in an annual cost savings of $4,859.

Item 11 85

Recommendation:

• Close the public hearing and discontinue three trips on Route 210. • Enter into Cooperative Agreement No. 12-027 with SunLine Transit

Agency for the sharing of costs on SunLine Route 220 to become effective September 9, 2012.

June 28, 2012 TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS THRU: Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer

Gordon Robinson, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Request to Close Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2012/2013

(FY13) Operating Budget, Capital Budget, and Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and Adopt FY13 Operating and Capital Budgets

Summary: The FY13 operating budget, capital budget, and SRTP were

presented to the Agency’s Board of Directors at their May 24th meeting. The motion approved by the Agency Board of Directors at the May 24th meeting was as follows: Open the public hearing on the FY13 Operating budget, Capital budget, and SRTP, and continue this item to the June 28, 2012 Board of Directors meeting.

A public hearing was opened to allow input concerning any item related to these documents. As of the writing of this staff report, the Agency has received no public comments. The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) approved the agency’s SRTP in concept at its June 7th meeting. Presented for consideration are the Agency’s Operating budget, Capital budget, and SRTP for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (FY13). The SRTP must be updated annually in order for the Agency to remain eligible for external funding. The proposed budgets are developed to support the overall Agency goals of providing safe and reliable public bus transportation in western Riverside County, providing excellent customer service, and increasing ridership. The FY13 SRTP assumes ridership growth of eight percent over the FY12 budget while increasing system-wide revenue service hours by seven percent over the FY12 budget. The FY13 Operating and Capital budget requests reflect the Agency’s plan to continue to address the measured economic recovery while creating plans and making preparations for future

growth. In addition, consistent with the recent fiscal years, the budget and SRTP reflect a strategy to provide a service offering that is efficient and cost effective. The FY13 Operating budget represents a seven percent increase over the FY12 budget. The FY13 Capital budget is planned to decrease 43% over FY12. The moderate Operating budget increase and the significant Capital budget reduction is discussed in greater detail in this staff report as well as in the attached Budget Summary.

For FY13, the Operating budget includes performance of an updated Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) and the second year of the Travel Training program, which commenced in FY12. Travel Training is designed to move passengers from demand response Dial-A-Ride (DAR) service to local fixed route service. Further, additional service enhancements to address passenger demand needs are included. Other post-employment benefits (OPEB) funding is, again, at annual required contribution (ARC) levels only per the updated actuarial study performed in early FY12. The Operating budget also includes the full year run rate of positions added in FY12 to enhance performance of the Agency across many functional disciplines as well as a three percent salary adjustment for administrative employees excluding the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position. The compensation adjustment for administrative employees is in response to a compensation study of other public entities in which a minimum three percent adjustment was recommended in order to stay competitive with the market in an attempt to retain and attract talented staff. It should be noted that administrative employees have been in a wage freeze since January 1, 2009 (under a merit-based compensation system) and the Agency does not have a cost of living adjustment (COLA) or step increase provision as part of its compensation program.

Highlights of the FY13 Operating Budget are: • 11 Coach Operator positions above the FY12 budget due to the

growth in directly-operated service attributed to planned service adjustments. Continued use of part-time Coach Operators.

• Maintenance staffing similar to FY12 levels.

• Administrative staffing at one position above the FY12 budget.

This is the Board-approved Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) Coordinator position to handle billings, processing, and reporting.

Item 12 93

• Fringe Benefits, including Worker’s Compensation and OPEB funding up to current ARC levels only – no pre-funding.

• Increased Purchased Transportation costs (6%) from FY12

budget due to established rates per contract, anticipated DAR demand increase (21% over FY12 budget) and fuel. The forecasted DAR demand increase is consistent with updated projections from HDR, the consulting firm who performed the study on DAR policy changes three years ago.

• Reduced compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel costs consistent

with recent history and unleaded gasoline fuel costs reflective of the recent surge in prices.

• Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) – 5-year update

including a fresh look at bus rapid transit (BRT) and additional customer survey efforts.

As mentioned previously, the FY13 Capital budget is decreased by 43% over the current Board-approved FY12 Capital budget. With the exception of the heavy-duty CNG bus replacement request, capital funding requested in FY13 reflects the continued focus on “hunkering down” due to limited Federal formula funding and local match sources as well as suspension of Federal 5309 legislatively designated projects. Staff has prioritized the Agency’s needs with strong consideration toward maintenance of critical operations and necessary vehicle replacement to continue existing services in the future. That said, FY13 Capital funding of approximately $19 million includes $16 million toward replacement and expansion of the Agency’s ninety-four (94) bus heavy-duty CNG-powered fleet.

Capital projects contained in the FY13 Capital budget request include:

• Heavy-duty CNG bus replacement/expansion funding (pending

award/non-award of discretionary Federal funding)

• Purchase of spare parts and equipment for maintenance of vehicles including tire lease

• Revenue vehicles - contracted fixed route vehicles (7) • Non-Revenue vehicles - driver relief vehicles (1)

• Transit Enhancements

Item 12 94

The FY13 Operating and Capital budgets are fully funded based on revenue projections that are contained in the Agency’s SRTP, most of which are provided by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). Operating and Capital revenue sources, as requested to RCTC, are summarized below:

$ 300,000 $ -

Other $ 1,255,000 $ - Total $ 58,073,468 $ 19,211,253

The proposed Operating and Capital budgets represent the financial resources required to implement the FY13 service plan, sustain critical Agency operations, and secure funding for replacement and expansion of the Agency’s directly-operated CNG-powered bus fleet. At this time, due to funding guidance provided by RCTC, staff believes that overall budgeted amounts can be supported in aggregate through the use of both new FY13 revenues and the use of carryover of prior year funds.

An overview of revenues, expenditures and analysis of Operating budget changes is shown in the Budget Summary that accompanies this report.

The SRTP also contains estimates for FY14 and FY15 operating expenses and capital needs, and are based on anticipated aggregate revenues that could require further service modifications. The FY14 and FY15 budgets’ estimates reflect near-term needs as well as the projection of significant capital demands such as vehicle

Item 12 95

replacements due to the aging Agency fleet and prior-year deferrals due to economic conditions.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed FY13 Operating budget is $58,073,468. The proposed FY13 Capital budget is $19,211,253. The total proposed FY13 Operating and Capital budget is $77,284,721. Funding for all operating activities, in aggregate, is available from: current year LTF; Measure A (current year and carryover); Federal Sections’ 5307, 5309, 5311, 5316, and 5317 funds; TUMF; farebox sources; and, other local support revenues. Funding for all capital projects, in aggregate, is available from: LTF (carryover); STA (current year and carryover); and, Federal Section 5307.

Recommendation:

Close the public hearing and adopt the FY13 Operating budget, Capital budget, and SRTP. Authorize staff to amend all necessary contractual documents affected by the adopted budget as appropriate and in accordance with Agency Procurement Policies.

Item 12 96

FY2013 BUDGET SUMMARY Introduction The Agency’s fiscal year 2013 (FY13) budget reflects a strategy to sustain current levels of safe, reliable and effective public bus transportation service while considering the continued economic pressures that demand efficiency to the greatest extent possible and challenge compliance with the Productivity Improvement Program (PIP). To that end, the Agency is planning for a service level that balances forecasted fiscal constraints with the varied profile of the service area as well as adjustments to record ridership demand and pre-positioning for future service. Staff remains fully committed to exploring all service and financial alternatives necessary to meeting the public transit needs of the citizens who live and work in Western Riverside County. Public transportation helps alleviate congestion, ensures mobility, promotes more livable communities, and assists with meeting additional needs that arise as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Ridership Through fiscal year-to-date May 2012, systemwide ridership is nine percent higher than the prior year. The Agency has experienced positive ridership gains across all of its service segments, including: nine percent on fixed routes; 18% on CommuterLink routes; and, 16% on Dial-A-Ride (DAR)/taxi overflow. With the stabilization of service levels, coupled with multiple all-time record-breaking ridership months in FY12, ridership expectations for FY13 are for an increase of eight percent over the FY12 budget. FY13 service and corresponding ridership projections are an annualized version of where the service offering will be as of June 30, 2012 with minor adjustments for contemplated changes in FY13. At the same time, fare revenue is forecasted to increase eleven percent over the FY12 budget. The difference between fare revenue and ridership increase is attributable to the subsidies received for certain services such as the Temecula Trolley and the Crest Cruiser. In addition, the Agency will continue to receive full funding for CommuterLink routes 212 and 217 in the form of Federal Section 5316 Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC), 5317 New Freedoms, Local Transportation Funds (LTF), and Measure A.

Item 12 97

Revenues Total Agency budgeted revenues for FY13 are $77,284,721, with $58,073,468 projected for operating expenses and $19,211,253 projected for capital projects. Due to the prudence exercised over the past few years and the mildly improving economy, the Agency is expecting an overall operating revenue increase over FY12 levels. As currently budgeted, total Agency operating revenues for FY13 are $58,073,468 – an increase of $3,933,265 or seven percent over FY12. Capital revenue will decrease $14,754,800 or 43% over FY12 levels. The significant reduction in the capital budget request is attributable to decreased funding requested for facilities and the heavy-duty CNG bus replacement/expansion. Operating revenues of $58,073,468 consist of: Local Transportation Funds (LTF); Federal 5307, 5311, 5316, and 5317 funds (current year apportionment and carryover); Measure A (current year apportionment and carryover); Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF); passenger fares/revenue agreements; and, other local revenues. The projected LTF operating revenues of $29,339,165 represents 50% of the total, and is projected to increase from FY12 levels by $2,691,867 or 10%. Federal funding to be used for operating is $14,182,557, which represents 24% of the total. Measure A (5%), TUMF (.5%), Passenger Fares (18%) and other local revenues (2.5%) constitute the remainder. The Operating budget covers service to be provided on directly operated and contracted fixed routes, and for DAR/taxi overflow trips. For FY13, it also includes funding for the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA). Capital revenues of $19,211,253 consist of: Federal Section 5307 (28%); LTF (prior year reserves; 40%); and, State Transit Assistance (STA; 32%). The amounts depicted below do not include the “pass-through” funding for the Social Service programs that the Agency will oversee on behalf of RCTC.

Service Modifications Service for FY13 will feature minor changes over the service offering deployed in FY12. While the changing population within western Riverside County continues to shape and redefine travel patterns, economic conditions and resulting funding levels continue the need for the Agency to mostly maintain the service than it offered in FY12 – yielding fine-tuning and refinements only to today’s offering. The most significant service changes planned for FY13 include: a full year of the Route 54 – the RCTC-funded circulator implemented to alleviate issues with the SR91 HOV widening project; improved headways on routes 1, 16 and 19 to assist with greater demand; and, the discontinuance of the Route 53 Bear Runner. CommuterLink routes 212 and 217, as well as the Route 55 Temecula Trolley will continue this fiscal year as they have unique funding sources tied to them. In addition, the Agency plans to continue limited additional peak hours’ service on several local/regional fixed routes. Again, these additional peak hours are funded with a specific funding source that can only be used for these services. DAR demand is anticipated to be 21 percent greater than FY12 budget based on updated projections provided by HDR, the consulting firm who analyzed and proposed policy modifications for DAR in early FY10. Staff will continue to analyze the Agency’s service area and offering – based on Board-directed metrics - in anticipation of the modification of existing services and/or the commencement of new services as funding and anticipated productivity allow. Operating Budget - Functional Profile

Operations (64%) constitutes the largest component of the proposed operating budget. Maintenance (17%) is the second largest component of the total. Thus, combined Operations and Maintenance equate to 81% of the Agency Operating budget. Planning and Administration combine for the remaining 19% of the operating budget. It should be noted that Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) pre-funding is excluded from the Operating budget. However, the Agency’s FY13 Operating budget does include funding up to the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) level per the latest OPEB actuarial valuation performed in September 2011. This valuation will be updated again after FY13.

Further, to assist with overall available funding, the Agency will withdraw funds from its OPEB Trust with CalPERS to assist with funding current retiree medical premiums. Functional Operating budget highlights:

• Staffing budgeted at 12 positions above FY12 Budget including:

o the Board-approved Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA) Coordinator position to accommodate anticipated validation /billing/reporting workload in accepting Medi-Cal reimbursement for eligible DAR trips

o Coach Operators (11) to accommodate service growth/flexibility

• Fringe benefits including medical insurance and Worker’s Compensation • Purchased transportation including:

o the second year of the base period for Southland Transit’s contract

for DAR service o the second year of the base period for Empire Transportation’s

contract for contracted fixed route service

• Continued restricted use of consultants – only for scheduling, planning, legislative and information systems activities – including an updated Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA)

• Provision for CNG and Unleaded Gas fuel costs

• Agency’s overall insurance program

• Marketing efforts including the expanding “U-Pass” programs

• Travel and training continue at minimal levels

Operating Budget - Cost Element Profile The operating budget contains five (5) major cost elements. The elements are:

• Salaries and Benefits (48%), which are made up of wages and fringe benefits including Worker’s Compensation and OPEB ARC. A three percent wage increase has been included for all administrative employees except for the CEO.

Item 12 101

• Purchased Transportation (35%), which represents the resources required for contracted transportation services for DAR/Taxi Overflow and certain fixed-route services

• Materials and Supplies (7%), made up primarily of operating supplies

including tires, fuel, oil, and parts for the operation, repair & maintenance of Agency vehicles

• Services (5%), such as external auditing, legal counsel, legislative

support, marketing, outside maintenance, custodial, armored transport, actuarial services, trustee fees, brokerage and towing

• Other Expenses (5%), which provide for property and liability insurance,

utilities, printing and publications, advertising and promotion, dues and subscriptions, and other miscellaneous expenses.

A profile of proposed expenditures by cost element is shown below:

Farebox Recovery Ratio and Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) RTA meets or exceeds five (5) of the eight (8) proposed PIP targets including the mandatory Farebox Recovery Ratio target for FY13. Based on a target of 17.49%, the Agency estimate of 24.54% exceeds target by 7.05%. The Agency is projecting to miss the discretionary Cost Per Revenue Service Hour, Subsidy per Passenger and Subsidy per Passenger Mile metrics. RCTC will continue to work with Agency staff and other operators to change the PIP policy in meaningful ways that ensure continued operator efficiency while considering prudent activities that benefit the overall health of the system.
