38 RIVERSIDE TRANSIT AGENCY 1825 Third Street Riverside, CA February 22, 2018 TO: THRU: FROM: SUBJECT: BOARD OF DIRECTORS Larry Rubio, Chief Executive Officer Craig Fajnor, Chief Financial Officer January FY18 Farebox Recovery Ratio (FRR) Performance and FYE18 FRR Projection Background: 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. Summary: 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 January is 20.72%, exceeding the target by 3.28%. 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 January 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 7G 38

These funds are to be made available for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation and capital projects. In collaboration with the State Controller s Office (SCO), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is tasked with the management and administration of the SGR Program.

Some expected improvements include but are not limited to: facility Americans with Disability Act (ADA) upgrades, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement, fuel station upgrades, security enhancements for the front lobby, and enhanced maintenance facilities including upgraded equipment. If approved, the resolution, certifications and assurances, and project list will be submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for inclusion in their SGR request to Caltrans. The FY18 SGR Program funds will provide $1,856,095 to support upgrades and enhancements to RTA s existing facilities and fuel station. Committee Recommendation: Recommendation: This item was discussed at the Board Administration and Operations Committee meeting of February 7, The committee members unanimously approved and recommended this item to the full Board of Directors for their consideration. Approve Resolution No and authorize the Board Chair to execute the resolution on behalf of the Agency.
