41 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA March 22, 2018 TO: THRU: FROM: SUBJECT: BOARD OF DIRECTORS Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer February FY18 Farebox Recovery Ratio (FRR) Performance and FYE18 FRR Projection Summary: The Agency relies on a Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding subsidy in order to cover a significant portion of its annual operating expenses. This funding is predicated on compliance with TDA operating provisions and statutes. TDA Provision states that claimants shall meet or exceed a predetermined ratio of fare revenues to operating expenses. This is known as the Farebox Recovery Ratio (FRR). Policies and legislation have been adopted that clarify and expand the definition of allowable parameters relative to the calculation of the FRR. A Farebox Recovery Policy adopted by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) expands allowable passenger fare revenues to include Local funds and Local Support revenues. In addition, State Assembly Bill Number 508 (SB508) allows for the exclusion of cost increases beyond the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for fuel, power, insurance premiums and payments, and ADA complementary paratransit service. The Agency s FRR Target for FY18 is 17.44%. The Agency s FY18 budgeted FRR is 18.25%. The Agency s actual FRR through February is 21.36%, exceeding the target by 3.92%. In addition, the table below reflects the Agency s current FY18 year-end forecast for FRR. It is based on year-to-date actual revenues and expenses through February 2018 plus projections for the remainder of the fiscal year. A conservative approach to the revenues and expenses, including allowable inclusions and exclusions, has been used. Item 6G 41

Once staff has determined an application is complete and meets the minimum requirements for eligibility, the policy provides that the Board Executive Committee shall review the eligible applications and make a determination to recommend an applicant for final consideration and approval by the full Board of Directors. This review of applications shall take place quarterly or on an as needed basis. During the past period, the Agency received seven (7) applications from organizations requesting to be placed on the recipient wait list for a retired vehicle. Staff reviewed each application for completeness, determination of site location within the Agency s service area and verification that each applicant is a registered 501c non-profit organization in good standing, municipality, county agency or special district.

49 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA March 22, 2018 TO: THRU: FROM: SUBJECT: Summary: BOARD OF DIRECTORS Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer Rohan Kuruppu, Director of Planning Resolution to Authorize Filing of Application for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) Funds The Cap and Trade LCTOP is one of several programs under the Transit, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 through Senate Bill 862 (SB 862). SB 862 establishes the LCTOP program as a formulaic program and will continuously appropriate 5% of the annual auction proceeds of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to this program. LCTOP was created to provide operating and capital assistance to transit agencies with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving mobility with an emphasis on serving disadvantaged communities. Additionally, Assembly Bill 1550 (AB 1550) of 2016 revised investments within disadvantaged communities to include an additional 5% investment in those low-income communities that may not necessarily be a disadvantaged community. The funds are distributed through the State Controller s Office in accordance with sections (b) (c), 99313, and of the Public Utilities Code (PUC). The Agency is specifically apportioned $1,364,883 of FY18 LCTOP funds for operating and capital assistance. A supporting resolution approved by the Board of Directors is necessary to submit this grant application. Projects must meet the following criteria in order to be considered for funding: 1. Project must reduce greenhouse gas emissions; 2. Project must be located in or provide benefits to a disadvantaged community defined by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA); 3. Project must increase transit ridership; and 4. Project must be fully funded (can include future funding plans). Based on the above criteria and recommended service improvements of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) Final Report adopted by the Board of Directors in January 2015, staff recommends utilizing Item 6K 49
