Summary
Committee approved staff recommendations to allocate $5,061,324 in State of Good Repair funds for fiscal year 2025–26 and a $53,700 budget modification to manage a small increase in the August SCO estimate.
Riverside County Transportation Commission staff on Aug. 25 recommended and the committee approved allocations of fiscal year 2025–26 State of Good Repair (SGR) funds to local transit operators. Eric Dehaite, RCTC staff, told the committee the SGR program provides approximately $105 million statewide annually and that the August revised State Controller’s Office estimate increased the county’s allocation slightly, allowing RCTC to allocate $5,061,324 to transit operators.
Dehaite explained the SGR program funding flows through Public Utilities Code sections used for other transit funding and that most SGR funds are discretionary under PUC 99313 while the remainder is allocated according to the State Controller’s calculation under PUC 99314. To receive the funds, Dehaite said the commission must adopt a resolution, approve operators’ SGR project lists and complete authorization agent updates.
Staff recommended the committee forward Resolution 205-8 (attachment referenced in staff report), allocate $5,061,324 of SGR funds for FY 2025–26, and approve a $53,700 budget modification to accommodate the SCO’s revised estimate. The committee approved the recommendation and will incorporate the allocations into transit operators’ SRTPs as needed.
