4. FY 2007-09 Triennial Performance Review (Armineh Saint, Metro) Ms. Saint introduced Jim Moore of Moore and Associates to present the FY 2007-09 audit report. Mr. Moore stated that his team was selected to conduct the annual State audit for agencies such as Metro, as the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), municipal operators, and the EZ Pass Program, that receive Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. He distributed a handout and reported the following: • Cornerstone Goals - to assess efficiency, effectiveness, and economy for the

various agencies; ensure compliance with TDA regulations; and present strategies for addressing potential findings;

• Project Methodology – review RTPA and other transit operators’ progress on prior recommendations, program compliance, data reporting and performance and function reviews and the EZ Pass’s boarding count compliance, reimbursement rate calculation, and invoicing;

• Project Timeline – the Audit team conducted project initiation and initial site visits/interviews from October 2009 to January 2010; provided draft reports and held a review period March - May 2010; and on-going BOS Subcommittee presentations from March to June 2010. Mr. Moore anticipates presenting to the Metro Board in July or August 2010, with the final report completed by September;

• Findings include: o Initial Operator’s shortage of operating revenues, difficulty with consistent

reporting, Transit Access Pass (TAP) implementation, farebox recovery, and service coordination/duplication

o RTPA – clarifying role/core functions, regional coordination, improve Short Range Transit planning, TAP implementation, and role of the BOS Subcommittee

o Notable Accomplishments are as follows: − Operators resilience in dramatic funding shortfall through

innovative approaches to avoiding service cuts − “Green” Transit facility boom − Movement to alternative-fuel fleets − Coordination among operators: Southern California

Regional Transit Training Consortium (SCRTTC) and Procurement

Mr. Patashnick inquired of the innovative approaches that the municipal operators identified to avoid service cuts. Mr. Moore replied that operators identified operating cost savings through overhead reduction within their department’s transit budget. 5. Metrolink Annual Work Program FY 2010-11 (Jay Fuhrman, Metro) Mr. Fuhrman stated that the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-11 budget has been a challenge as unemployment in Los Angeles County is up 12.3%, Metrolink ridership is down 11% from the FY 2008-09 levels, and Proposition C revenues for Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) are also down.

14

Mr. Fuhrman stated that on June 25th, Metrolink will begin transitioning operations from Connex Railroad, LLC to Amtrak. Metrolink’s costs will increase in FY 2010-11, beginning July 2010, due to the transition to Amtrak train and engine crews, increased cost of insurance, and equipment/maintenance (rolling stock). Metrolink’s total operating cost for FY 2010-11 is $173.3 million or 3.4 % increase over FY 2009-10. Mr. Fuhrman stated that 53% of Metrolink’s costs are offset through passenger fares and revenues. The agency will need an additional 47% for operating cost and Metro’s share is 23.5% or $39 million. Staff reviewed Prop C 10% Funds and concluded that Metro has sufficient funds for Metrolink’s operation budget for FY 2010-11, but tat FY 2011-12 is likely to be very challenging unless the economy recovers and sales taxes increase. Staff developed the following strategic plan to get through the FY 2010-11:

• Exhaust all prior year operating, capital rehabilitation/renovation surplus ($6.8 million);

• Reduce contribution to rehabilitation/renovation program from $16 million to $8 million;

• Defer funding for new capital; • Increase fare by 6% including some service reductions and fare policy changes,

approved by SCRRA Board. Metrolink plans to make changes in their Fare policy by reducing the discount trip tickets for all riders, eliminate the mileage caps for one-way and round trip tickets and adult weekend discounts, and also reduce services on two San Bernardino and Ventura lines. Mr. Fuhrman reported that Metrolink will defer the Vincent Acton Second Platform project currently in design due to a lack of funding and reprogram the $1.9 million to complete the Lang/Ravenna siding project. Contingent upon State bonds being sold by fall or winter, the project would begin in early to mid 2011. Positive Train Control (PTC) is Metrolink’s highest priority project and staff is working diligently to complete the project by 2014. Mr. Fuhrman noted PTC program costs of $202 million with approximately $195 million identified and $7 million still needed. Metrolink/Caltrans have applied for additional High Speed Rail Interconnectivity funds and anticipate an answer by Fall 2010. If successful, the Interconnectivity funds could free-up Measure R 3% funds that are programmed to fund PTC to be used towards other projects. 3% cost increase. Mr. Fuhrman replied that the cost increase was due to changes in contractors, increased insurance rates, and new equipment/maintenance cost. Larry Stevens (League of Cities, San Gabriel Valley) asked when Metrolink will begin reducing their service? Mr. Fuhrman replied June 28, 2010. Mike Behen (League of Cities, North Los Angeles County) asked when the Vincent Acton Second Platform project will be reconsidered for construction? Mr. Fuhrman

15

Appeal: Sponsor reported that the project was split into two phases by Caltrans: Phase 1-Bridge and approach roadway widening funded by HBP and local match, encroachment onto railroad and LA River, but no ROW take; Phase 2-intersection re-configuration funded with RSTP & Prop C with ROW take and a shortened construction period. The City proposes to meet with Metro to develop the FTIP amendment that will streamline the project’s delivery. A Construction and Maintenance (C&M) agreement with the railroad is nearly executed while the EIR/EA is awaiting final approval by the City Council and Caltrans. Sponsor requested a three-year extension to complete construction.





8056 Manhattan

Beach

Nash//Douglas & Rosecrans Ave Intersection Improvements

Steve Finton

Appeal: Sponsor reported that the City is in the process of undergrounding utilities and widening eastbound Rosecrans Ave from three to four lanes between Redondo/Nash to Manhattan Gateway. The project incurred delays when Edison and the property owners failed to agree on the alignment and easement language. The issues were resolved in May 2010. Property owners also requested no construction from October 31, 2010 to January 1, 2011, which will cause another delay in the project. Sponsor anticipates utility work to begin in August 2010 with the street widening starting in January 2011. Sponsor requested a one-year extension to complete the project.

One-year extension to June 30, 2011.

8018 South Pasadena South Pasadena Fair Oaks Corridor Improvements

Tracey Perkosky

Appeal: Sponsor reported that the multi-phase project includes design and four separate construction projects in one MOU. Design was completed in 2005 and construction completed on two of the four construction projects in 2008. For Phase 3, the City is working with Caltrans and FHWA to obtain funding authorization due to a lapse in transferring Federal funds from another project. The City is ready to use the General Funds to backfill the shortfall to complete the project. After FHWA’s approval, the project will be ready to go to Bid and Award. Phase 4 anticipates beginning after the completion of Phase 3. Phase 4 will construct a large off-ramp at I-110 freeway and the Fair Oaks off-ramp and will require up to three years to complete. Sponsor requested a two-year extension to complete Phases 3 and 4.


6347 South Gate I-710/Firestone Blvd. Interchange Reconstruction

Mahmoud Anjomshoaa

Project Status Report: Sponsor reported that the project incurred delays due to differences between the City and Caltrans on the ramp modifications and ROW acquisitions. The new schedule shows Caltrans approving the EIR by August 2010, final design and ROW completed by September 2010, Bid & Award and PS&E completed by December 2010, construction to begin in 2011 and completed by September 2012. Sponsor requested to continue with the 2nd year of three-year extension to complete the project.

Q&A on Federal Toll Policy

51

Q and A on Federal Toll Credits What are toll credits? Under a federal program, toll credits allow project sponsors not to pay local match on federal grants. They are not money, so they do not reduce the amount a project sponsor pays for the whole project, but they allow the project to go forward with 100% federal funding. How many toll credits are available? $5.7 billion in toll credits has accrued to California since 1992 and was recently approved by FHWA for use. This is estimated to be enough to fully support all federally-funded projects statewide for the next 12 years. So the short answer is that there are plenty. And toll credits continue to be generated. What funding sources can toll credits be used with? Toll credits can be used with:

o Congestion, Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) funds o Demonstration projects o Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) o Surface Transportation Program – Local (STPL) o Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) o Other federal funds

* Note: Discussions are taking place regarding how to make toll credits available to apply to transit funding programs. A tracking system acceptable to the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administrations (FTA) is required, and is not yet in place. Do toll credits allow project sponsors to spend less on transportation projects? No. The purpose of toll credits is to provide flexibility and streamlining in project delivery. Non-federal funds that are currently used for transportation should continue to be used for transportation. Can I use toll credits with small grants? There is no project minimum for using toll credits. However, toll credits may be cumbersome to work with as they are just being rolled out for the first time in California. We do not yet know what requirements will apply at federal and state agencies and staff may be unfamiliar with the credits and unable to provide detailed assistance. When can I start using toll credits? For FHWA projects, toll credits can be used for any project that is not already obligated. However, the Caltrans guidelines for toll credits are still in draft form. Please notify one of the following MTA Programming staff so that we can work with you to make any necessary adjustments in the TIP and be ready to proceed with using toll credits:
