BACKGROUND:

Dynamic message signs are electronic roadway signs used to communicate real-time traffic and roadway information to motorists. Typical messages may include notifications regarding traffic collisions, roadway construction, lane closures, travel delays, or other traffic conditions. By providing timely information to drivers, DMS improve roadway communication, support traffic operations, and enhance the City’s ability to manage congestion and incidents throughout the transportation network.

The Citywide Dynamic Message Sign Retrofit, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2023- 04 originated from the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain and modernize existing traffic management infrastructure. Over time, the existing DMS display panels experienced progressive deterioration, resulting in reduced visibility, reliability, and operational effectiveness. The replacement of the aging display panels was identified as a need within the City’s Capital Improvement Plan.

The project consists of the removal and replacement of eight existing dynamic message signs (DMS) display panels mounted on existing roadside sign structures at five locations throughout the city. These locations include West Sixth Street (2), Main Street (2), Ontario Avenue (2), East Sixth Street (1), and Magnolia Avenue (1). The project also includes integration with the City’s Traffic Management Center and associated system upgrades necessary to support continued operation of the signs. Upon completion, the project will improve the reliability and effectiveness of the City’s dynamic messaging system and enhance the City’s ability to provide timely traffic information to motorists.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

RADIO ROAD RAILROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST-2022-05
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve a Construction and Maintenance Agreement with Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) that provides for work within the BNSF right-of-way for the Radio Road Railroad Crossing Improvements, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2022-05.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Agreement with BNSF for the Radio Road Railroad Crossing Improvements, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2022-05
b. Approve any modifications to the form of the agreement deemed necessary by the City Attorney, which do not impact the compensation to be paid and which are consistent with the Council’s directions herein.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

On June 1, 2022, the City Council formally accepted the Section 130 Railway-Highway Crossing Program Grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for the improvements to the Radio Road railroad grade crossing. The Section 130 program is a federally funded program that aims to increase safety at identified crossings throughout the United States. The City has been working closely with a design consultant and several agencies, such as Caltrans, CPUC, and BNSF, for the preparation of roadway and gradecrossing improvement plans for the Radio Road grade-crossing. The purpose of the project is to improve safety at the Radio Road grade crossing by mitigating existing potential hazards to reduce the chance of future incidents. The potential hazards may include lack of separated pedestrian pathways, the possibility of vehicles driving around lowered gate arms, and clear delineation of vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian pathways on approach and through the crossing.

On October 15, 2025, staff brought options to the City Council on how the project would be constructed. Council supported the recommendation by staff to close Radio Road for 8-12 weeks to complete the construction as opposed to keeping the roadway partially open to traffic which would double the construction time. Providing detours and ensuring adequate noticing to businesses was considered for all options to ensure impacts to businesses were minimized. A representative from AO Coolers, a tenant of EBS Construction, spoke at the meeting and said that the project would significantly impact his business operations. Traffic
engineering staff met onsite with the representative in October and December of 2025.

Management staff also met with EBS Construction, the owner of the building, to come up with possible solutions to AO Coolers’ operations, and they were receptive. A separate meeting with AO Coolers was held on February 11, 2026, to share the City’s discussion with EBS.

Impacted businesses were informed of the project at an informational meeting that took place at City Hall on May 28, 2026, at two sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening to accommodate business schedules. Closer to the construction date, the City will send out appropriate notices to inform the public and impacted businesses to plan for appropriate detours.

ANALYSIS:

The Agreement for the Radio Road Railroad Crossing Improvements, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2022-05 outlines the parameters for occupying and performing construction on BNSF right-of-way, including insurance, notifications, and roles and responsibilities of BNSF (including inspection, flagging, oversight) and the City during construction and occupancy. The approval of the Agreement will allow for a temporary construction license to be granted to the City to enter upon and use the portion of BNSF’s right-of-way to construct the proposed improvements. These improvements may include, but are not limited to, installation of active warning devices, signal bungalows, precast concrete panels, as well as roadway curbs, sidewalk, raised median, and paving improvements to the roadway.

The Agreement developed by BNSF Railway Company for this project is included as “Exhibit 1” and attached hereto. City staff recommends the approval of the Agreement with BNSF for the improvements to the Radio Road Railroad crossing. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin construction in Spring 2027, with an anticipated completion date of Summer 2027.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact for these actions as the Radio Road Railroad Crossing Improvements, Capital Improvement Project No. ST-2022-05, is fully reimbursable through the Section 130 Grade Crossing Improvement Program Grant. City Council approved an appropriation and estimated revenue increase within the Public Works Grants/Agreements Fund 243 during the June 1, 2022, Council meeting when the grant was accepted.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

These actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA), as the actions are not a “project” as defined by CEQA (PRC Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378), guidelines which define a “project” as the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and that is an activity directly undertaking by any public agency including public works construction and related activities. These actions involve the approval of a construction and maintenance agreement. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required at this time.

ARTICLE IV – JOINT OBLIGATIONS
IN CONSIDERATION of the promises set forth herein, the parties hereto mutually agree to the following:
1) All work contemplated in this Agreement must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and each portion must be promptly commenced by the party obligated hereunder to perform the same and thereafter diligently prosecuted to conclusion in its logical order and sequence. Furthermore, any changes or modifications during construction which affect BNSF will be subject to BNSF's approval prior to the commencement of any such changes or modifications. 2) The work hereunder must be done in accordance with Exhibit A and the detailed plans and specifications approved by BNSF.
3) Agency must require its contractor(s) to reasonably adhere to the Project's construction schedule for all Project work. The parties hereto mutually agree that BNSF's failure to complete the Improvements by Railroad Forces in accordance with the construction schedule due to inclement weather or unforeseen railroad emergencies will not constitute a breach of this Agreement by BNSF and will not subject BNSF to any liability. Regardless of the requirements of the construction schedule, BNSF reserves the right to reallocate the labor forces assigned to complete the Improvements by Railroad Forces in the event of an emergency to provide for the immediate restoration of railroad operations of either BNSF or its related railroads, or to protect persons or property on or near any BNSF owned property. BNSF will not be liable for any additional costs or expenses resulting from any such reallocation of its labor forces. The parties mutually agree that any reallocation of labor forces by BNSF pursuant to this provision and any direct or indirect consequences or costs

Contract Number: BF-20551114
12 of 58
resulting from any such reallocation will not constitute a breach of this Agreement by BNSF.
4) BNSF will have the right to stop construction work on the Project if any of the following events take place: (i) Agency (or any of its contractors) performs the Project work in a manner contrary to the plans and specifications approved by BNSF; (ii) Agency (or any of its contractors), in BNSF’s opinion, prosecutes the Project work in a manner that is hazardous to BNSF property, facilities or the safe and expeditious movement of railroad traffic; (iii) the insurance described in the attached Exhibit C-1 is canceled during the course of the Project; or (iv) Agency fails to pay BNSF for the Temporary Construction License or the Easement pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of this Agreement. The work stoppage will continue until all necessary actions are taken by Agency or its contractor to rectify the situation to the satisfaction of BNSF’s Division Engineer or until proof of additional insurance has been delivered to and accepted by BNSF. In the event of a breach of (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Temporary Construction License, or (iii) the Easement, BNSF may immediately terminate the Temporary Construction License or the Easement. Any such work stoppage under this provision will not give rise to any liability on the part of BNSF. BNSF’s right to stop the work is in addition to any other rights BNSF may have including, but not limited to, actions or suits for damages. In the event that BNSF desires to stop construction work on the Project, BNSF agrees to immediately notify the following individual in writing:

Grantee acknowledges that this Easement Agreement does not contain any implied warranties that Grantee or Grantee's Contractors (as hereinafter defined) can successfully construct or operate the Improvements.

Section 4 Nature of Grantor's Interest in the Premises. GRANTOR DOES NOT WARRANT

ITS TITLE TO THE PREMISES NOR UNDERTAKE TO DEFEND GRANTEE IN THE PEACEABLE POSSESSION OR USE THEREOF. NO COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT IS MADE. In case of the eviction of Grantee by anyone owning or claiming title to or any interest in the Premises, or by the abandonment by Grantor of the affected rail corridor, Grantor shall not be liable to refund Grantee any compensation paid hereunder.

Section 5 Improvements.

Any and all cuts and fills, excavations or embankments necessary in the construction, maintenance, or future alteration of the Improvements shall be made and maintained in such manner, form and extent as will provide adequate drainage of and from the adjoining lands and premises of the Grantor; and wherever any such fill or embankment shall or may obstruct the natural and pre-existing drainage from such lands and premises of the Grantor, the Grantee shall construct and maintain such culverts or drains as may be requisite to preserve such natural and pre-existing drainage, and shall also wherever necessary, construct extensions of existing drains, culverts or ditches through or along the premises of the Grantor, such extensions to be of adequate sectional dimensions to preserve the present flowage of drainage or other waters, and of materials and workmanship equally as good as those now existing. In the event any construction, repair, maintenance, work or other use of the Premises by Grantee will affect any Lines, fences, buildings, improvements or other facilities (collectively, "Other Improvements"), Grantee will be responsible at Grantee’s sole risk to locate and make any adjustments necessary to such Other Improvements. Grantee must contact the owner(s) of the Other Improvements notifying them of any work that may damage these Other Improvements and/or interfere with their service and obtain the owner’s written approval prior to so affecting the Other Improvements.

Contract Number: BF-20551114
23 of 58
all Other Improvements on the Plans and Specifications and mark such Other Improvements in the field in order to verify their locations. Grantee must also use all reasonable methods when working on or near Grantor property to determine if any Other Improvements (fiber optic, cable, communication or otherwise) may exist. The Grantee agrees to keep the above-described premises free and clear from combustible materials and to cut and remove or cause to be cut and removed at its sole expense all weeds and vegetation on said premises, said work of cutting and removal to be done at such times and with such frequency as to comply with Grantee and local laws and regulations and abate any and all hazard of fire.

Section 6 Taxes and Recording Fees. Grantee shall pay when due any taxes, assessments or other charges (collectively, "Taxes") levied or assessed upon the Improvements by any governmental or quasigovernmental body or any Taxes levied or assessed against Grantor or the Premises that are attributable to the Improvements. Grantee agrees to purchase, affix and cancel any and all documentary stamps in the amount prescribed by statute, and to pay any and all required transfer taxes, excise taxes and any and all fees incidental to recordation of the Memorandum of Easement. In the event of Grantee's failure to do so, if Grantor shall become obligated to do so, Grantee shall be liable for all costs, expenses and judgments to or against Grantor, including all of Grantor's legal fees and expenses.

Section 7 Environmental.

7.1 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Grantee shall strictly comply with all federal, state and local environmental Laws in its use of the Premises, including, but not limited to, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (RCRA), the Clean Water Act, the Oil Pollution Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (collectively referred to as the "Environmental Laws"). Grantee shall not maintain a "treatment," "storage," "transfer" or "disposal" facility, or "underground storage tank," as those terms are defined by Environmental Laws, on the Premises. Grantee shall not handle, transport, release or suffer the release of "hazardous waste" or "hazardous substances", as "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substances" may now or in the future be defined by any Environmental Laws.

7.2 Notice of Release. Grantee shall give Grantor immediate notice to Grantor's Resource Operations Center at (800) 832-5452 of any release of hazardous substances on or from the Premises, violation of Environmental Laws, or inspection or inquiry by governmental authorities charged with enforcing Environmental Laws with respect to Grantee's use of the Premises. Grantee shall use its best efforts to promptly respond to any release on or from the Premises. Grantee also shall give Grantor immediate notice of all measures undertaken on behalf of Grantee to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation.

7.3 Remediation of Release. In the event that Grantor has notice from Grantee or otherwise of a release or violation of Environmental Laws which occurred or may occur during the term of this Easement Agreement, Grantor may require Grantee, at Grantee's sole risk and expense, to take timely measures to 4 Easement Agreement Form 704CM; Rev. 03/23/2019

Contract Number: BF-20551114
24 of 58
investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation affecting the Premises. If during the construction or subsequent maintenance of the Improvements, soils or other materials considered to be environmentally contaminated are exposed, Grantee will remove and safely dispose of said contaminated soils. Determination of soils contamination and applicable disposal procedures thereof, will be made only by an agency having the capacity and authority to make such a determination.

7.4 Preventative Measures. Grantee shall promptly report to Grantor in writing any conditions or activities upon the Premises known to Grantee which create a risk of harm to persons, property or the environment and shall take whatever action is necessary to prevent injury to persons or property arising out of such conditions or activities; provided, however, that Grantee's reporting to Grantor shall not relieve Grantee of any obligation whatsoever imposed on it by this Easement Agreement. Grantee shall promptly respond to Grantor's request for information regarding said conditions or activities.

7.5 Evidence of Compliance. Grantee agrees periodically to furnish Grantor with proof satisfactory to Grantor that Grantee is in compliance with this Section 7. Should Grantee not comply fully with the abovestated obligations of this Section 7, notwithstanding anything contained in any other provision hereof, Grantor may, at its option, terminate this Easement Agreement by serving five (5) days' notice of termination upon Grantee. Upon termination, Grantee shall remove the Improvements and restore the Premises as provided in Section 9.

Section 8 Default and Termination.

8.1 Grantor's Performance Rights. If at any time Grantee, or Grantee's Contractors, fails to properly perform its obligations under this Easement Agreement, Grantor, in its sole discretion, may: (i) seek specific performance of the unperformed obligations, or (ii) at Grantee's sole cost, may arrange for the performance of such work as Grantor deems necessary for the safety of its rail operations, activities and property, or to avoid or remove any interference with the activities or property of Grantor, or anyone or anything present on the rail corridor or property with the authority or permission of Grantor. Grantee shall promptly reimburse Grantor for all costs of work performed on Grantee's behalf upon receipt of an invoice for such costs. Grantor's failure to perform any obligations of Grantee or Grantee's Contractors shall not alter the liability allocation set forth in this Easement Agreement.

8.2 Abandonment. Grantor may, at its option, terminate this Easement Agreement by serving five (5) days' notice in writing upon Grantee if Grantee should abandon or cease to use the Premises for the Easement Purpose. Any waiver by Grantor of any default or defaults shall not constitute a waiver of the right to terminate this Easement Agreement for any subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such waiver in any way affect Grantor's ability to enforce any section of this Easement Agreement.

8.4 Non-exclusive Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies that Grantor may have under the C&M Agreement, at law or in equity.

The terms of this limited license include all of Grantee's obligations under this Easement Agreement. Termination will not release Grantee from any liability or obligation under this Easement Agreement, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any acts, omissions or events happening prior to the date of termination, or, if later, 6 Easement Agreement Form 704CM; Rev. 03/23/2019

Contract Number: BF-20551114
26 of 58
the date when Grantee's Improvements are removed and the Premises are restored to the condition that existed as of the Effective Date.

Section 10 Liens. Grantee shall promptly pay and discharge any and all liens arising out of any construction, alterations or repairs done, suffered or permitted to be done by Grantee on the Premises or attributable to Taxes that are the responsibility of Grantee pursuant to Section

6. Grantor is hereby authorized to post any notices or take any other action upon or with respect to the Premises that is or may be permitted by Law to prevent the attachment of any such liens to any portion of the Premises; provided, however, that failure of Grantor to take any such action shall not relieve Grantee of any obligation or liability under this Section 10 or any other section of this Easement Agreement.

Section 11 Tax Exchange. Grantor may assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Easement Agreement to Goldfinch Exchange Company LLC, an exchange intermediary, in order for Grantor to effect an exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. In such event, Grantor shall provide Grantee with a Notice of Assignment, attached as Exhibit C, and Grantee shall execute an acknowledgement of receipt of such notice.

Section 13 Recordation. It is understood and agreed that this Easement Agreement shall not be in recordable form and shall not be placed on public record and any such recording shall be a breach of this Easement Agreement. Grantor and Grantee shall execute a Memorandum of Easement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (the "Memorandum of Easement") subject to changes required, if any, to conform such form to local recording requirements. The Memorandum of Easement shall be

14.2 In the event that Grantee consists of two or more parties, all the covenants and agreements of Grantee herein contained shall be the joint and several covenants and agreements of such parties. This instrument and all of the terms, covenants and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns and shall run with and be binding upon the Premises.

14.3 If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Easement Agreement, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party or parties may be entitled.

14.4 If any provision of this Easement Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future Laws, such provision will be fully severable and this Easement Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision is not a part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. In lieu of any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision herein, there will be added automatically as a part of this Easement Agreement a provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

14.5 This Easement Agreement and the C&M Agreement, which is incorporated herein, is the full and complete agreement between Grantor and Grantee with respect to all matters relating to Grantee's use of the Premises, and supersedes any and all other agreements between the parties hereto relating to Grantee's use of the Premises as described herein. However, nothing herein is intended to terminate any surviving obligation of Grantee or Grantee's obligation to defend and hold Grantor harmless in any prior written agreement between the parties.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

PROPOSED SHORT-RANGE TRANSIT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2027 THROUGH 2029
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the Council to adopt the Short-Range Transit Plan for fiscal years 2027 through 2029. The plan summarizes the City’s local transit planning and financial activities, including fund requests for operating and capital needs.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council:
a. Adopt the proposed Short Range Transit Plan for fiscal year 2027 through 2029. b. Direct staff to submit the approved Short Range Transit Plan for fiscal year 2027 through 2029 to the Riverside County Transportation Commission for approval. c. Authorize revisions to the Fiscal Year 2027 Transit Service Fund revenue and expense budget following approval of the Fiscal Year 2027 through 2029 Short Range Transit Plan from the Riverside County Transportation Commission. d. Authorize an appropriation and an offsetting revenue in the amount of $1,500,000 from the Transit Service Fund 577 to the COA – Citywide Bus Stop Improvements, Capital Improvement Project No. FC-2022-19 for Fiscal Year 2027.

e. Authorize an appropriation and an offsetting revenue in the amount of $3,190,000 from the Transit Service Fund 577 to a newly created Operating and Maintenance project titled Replacement Buses for Fixed Route for Fiscal Year 2027.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The City of Corona Transit Service (CCTS) operates its transit program under the Dial-ARide and Corona Cruiser fixed-route programs. Dial-A-Ride services were launched in 1977, and the Corona Cruiser fixed-route service in 2001. The City contracts a private transit management company, MV Transportation, to operate both transit programs.

The Dial-A-Ride (DAR) program is comprised of specialized demand response and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-complementary paratransit service. This service provides curb-to-curb transportation to qualified individuals, seniors 60 and older, and persons with disabilities, while door-to-door service is available to those certified under the ADA. The DAR service area includes the City of Corona, satellite locations in the City of Norco, and the unincorporated Riverside County areas of Coronita, El Cerrito, and Home Gardens.

The Corona Cruiser fixed route program is a network of two fixed routes, the Red Line and the Blue Line. These routes provide access to local businesses, retail stores, parks, entertainment venues, municipal services, schools, and residential adjacent areas. They also connect with the Riverside Transit Agency regional bus routes, the Corona Transit Center, and the North Main Corona Metrolink Train Station.

Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency with fiduciary and administrative oversight of transit operators in Riverside County. Each year, RCTC reviews and approves the Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and allocates local, state, and federal funding.

The CCTS is a participating transit agency in the region and relies on RCTC to provide the majority of funds needed for day-to-day operations. Therefore, CCTS is required to submit an annual update of its Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP), which represents the City of Corona’s transportation services and compiles operational and financial data for the upcoming fiscal year based on audited data from previous years ANALYSIS:

In conformance with RCTC’s guidelines, CCTS staff prepared the three-year Short-Range Transit Plan for FY2027 through FY2029. The Plan includes the following four chapters.

For a complete, detailed review of all the data points summarized below, a copy of the Plan is attached to this report.

Chapter 1 – System overview and service profile
This chapter outlines the current service structure, providing information on Corona Cruiser fixed routes and the Dial-A-Ride/paratransit program, including a description of the service area, the population and demographics served, the current fare structure, the

transit fleet, facilities, and bus stop amenities. In addition, this chapter covers coordination efforts between CCTS and other transit agencies, i.e., Riverside Transit Agency & RCTC Metrolink. Further, this chapter provides operating data relating to the current fiscal year and year-end estimates regarding operating expenses, passenger trips, fare revenues, and vehicle miles/hours.

Chapter 2 – Existing service and route performance
This chapter further details the performance of the current service compared to the proposed plan provided in the prior approved year. It summarizes the year-to-date operating data and compares it to the performance targets set by RCTC. It further provides year-end estimates based on the performance of the first nine months of the fiscal year. Lastly, this chapter highlights improvement efforts to increase productivity and maintain service to major trip generators.

Chapter 3 – Future service plans, fare changes, capital planning, and marketing This chapter provides an overview of future service planning, outlining planned service enhancements, marketing and promotion efforts, as well as capital improvement planning. Service enhancements include increasing bus frequency, providing service to areas not currently served, and exploring alternate transit options. These options were explored as part of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA). On August 6, 2023, the City Council approved Scenario Two (2) of the proposed service recommendation as outlined in the final report of the COA. This section highlights these service improvements for which a consultant was brought on board to assist in implementation. The final plan is available at Comprehensive Operation Analysis | City of Corona (coronaca.gov). Further, CCTS’s marketing strategies are to increase ridership and awareness of Corona’s transit services. Finally, the capital improvement plan includes various projects, and this section provides a brief description of those projects.

Chapter 4 – Financial Planning
The final chapter provides the funding plan for the three years covered in the SRTP. It includes the operating and capital budget needs for FY 2027, which are funded by RCTC.

In addition, this chapter includes the funding plan to support the two upcoming years (FY 2028 & FY 2029). This chapter further outlines the regulatory and compliance requirements to ensure CCTS complies as a public transit operator and recipient of federal funds.

Operating Budget
As RCTC funds the initial year of the SRTP, CCTS staff is proposing an estimated operating budget of $4,143,399 for FY 2027, which is 5 percent, or $198,072, more than the current-year budget. Additional information is provided under Capital Budget below.

The proposed SRTP financial forecast is based on available transit funds, previous years’ data, and CCTS’s projected operational needs. The budget includes the following sources to fund the Fiscal Year 2027 operating budget:

Revenue Source $ Amount
Local Transportation Funds (LTF) $2,073,957

Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 $1,925,742 Other Operating Revenues* $143,700
General Fund** $0.00
TOTAL $4,143,399
*Includes passenger fares, bus shelter advertising revenues, and AB2766 bus pass subsidy. ** Farebox Ratio Mandate requires a local contribution of 20% Cruiser and 10% DAR. If a gap exists at the end of the FY, general funds will need to be contributed to fill the gap.

CCTS’s operating budget supports the following expenses: Salaries-Benefits (12%) and Services-Supplies (88%). Of the $4.14 million operating budget, contracted services constitute the largest component at 80% of the total budget. These expenses represent transportation services currently provided by MV Transportation for operating Dial-A-Ride and the Corona Cruiser. Other service & supplies expenses include fuel, printing and publications, advertising, Routematch Dispatching software, utilities, office supplies, minor office equipment, and administrative and Information Technology Services support.

Additional program activities funded from the operating budget include contracted services and projects, such as:
1) Consulting Services to assist staff with various large transit projects, such as the ITS, fleet procurement, and implementation of COA service level changes. This includes preparing solicitations/scope of work and project management oversight. 2) Routematch software for computer-aided dispatching includes annual fees for technical support, a data plan, and cloud server hosting, which are necessary for communication between bus operators and dispatching staff to coordinate pickups and drop-offs.

The minor increase in the operating budget can be attributed to the year-to-year contract cost for transit operations as well increased budget for marketing and public information for service improvements.

Capital Improvement Plan & Budget
The SRTP includes fund requests for the following capital projects:

Project Project # Amount
Bus Stop Improvement FC-2022-19 $
1,500,000
Replacement Buses for Fixed
Route
New
3,190,000
Total Capital Fund Request $
4,690,000
The Bus Stop Improvement CIP noted on this list is a standard operating budget item used to address maintenance issues, as needed. However, major bus stop improvement efforts will occur as part of the COA adopted service recommendations. These efforts will include removing some bus stops, constructing new bus stop pads, relocating usable

amenities, installing new signs that match the City’s branding efforts, installing new ADAaccessible stops, etc.

The Replacement Buses for Fixed Route is a new project. The current seven (7) fixedroutes buses were put into service in 2016. Pursuant to the Federal Transit Administration, these buses have a useful life of twelve (12) years or a minimum of 500,000 miles, whichever comes first. These buses will reach their useful life in February of 2028. Timely replacement of buses is necessary to ensure system’s efficiency and reliability. This project will replace five of the seven buses, whereas the remaining two buses will utilize different fund sources, as they must be zero-emission buses.

The Capital Budget also outlines past SRTP-approved projects, which consist of the following projects to be carried out in the next two years:
 Intelligent Transportation System
 Purchase an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessible Van  Digital Land Mobile Radio System
 Canopy/Roof structure for Bus Parking Area
 Bus Stop Improvements
 Replacement of two (2) older 2012 DAR buses
 Replacement of eleven (11) 2017 DAR buses
 Zero Emission Bus purchase and related infrastructure These projects were approved and funded by RCTC in prior SRTPs using State Transit Assistance, FTA Section 5307 & 5339 funds, State of Good Repair, and SB125 TIRCP and ZETCP funds. Prior-approved projects and associated funds are listed in SRTP Section 4.4 of Exhibit 1. These projects have all been included in the City’s Transit CIP budget. Contract for the replacement of the 2012 and 2017 DAR buses was awarded at the April 20, 2026, Council Meeting.

Staff recommends approval of the City of Corona Transit Service Short Range Transit Plan for FY2027 through FY2029. If approved by the Council, the Plan will be submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission, in its capacity as Regional Transportation Planning Agency, for ratification.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The cost of operations for transit services in Fiscal Year 2027 is $4,143,399. Funding for all operating activities, in the aggregate, is available from Local Transit Funds, Federal Section 5307, State of Good Repair, and farebox revenues.

RCTC is expecting to go to their Commission on June 10, 2026, for approval of funding for all transit agencies. Following RCTC approval of the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 through Fiscal Year 2028/29 SRTP, the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Transit Service Fund revenue and expense budget will require the following adjustment:

1. Increase operating budget by $240,925 to $4,143,399 and increase offsetting revenue.

2. Appropriate $1,500,000 to an existing Capital Improvement Project (FC-2022-19, Bus Stop Improvements) and increase offsetting revenue by the same amount.

3. Create a new Operating and Maintenance Project titled Replacement Buses for Fixed Route , appropriate $3,190,000 and increase offsetting revenue by the same amount.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action approves planning documents and a financial plan. There is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
Executive Summary
The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency with fiduciary and administrative oversight of transit operators in Riverside County. The Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) is a mandated planning document prepared by all Riverside County participating transit agencies to qualify for federal and state transit funds. The plan is prepared in compliance with the Transportation Development Act and submitted to the RCTC every year. Each year, RCTC reviews and approves the SRTP and allocates local, state, and federal funding. The SRTP is a living document that uses up-to-date information, financial resources, and performance targets for transit agencies to plan their transit services. Additionally, the SRTP is updated annually to provide RCTC updates and funding requests.

The City of Corona Transit Service prepared its three-year Short-Range Transit Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2026/27, 2027/28, and 2028/29. The plan includes the first year, FY 2026/27, action plan, and budget funding request.

Chapter 1 – System Overview and Service Profile

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) sets the objectives and strategies for the City of Corona Transit Service (CCTS) by evaluating current transit system performance, projected demographic changes, operating and capital funding needs, anticipated funding from federal, state and local sources, and other factors to create a reasonable projection of conditions over the next three years (FY 2026/27 – 2028/29).

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE AREA
The City of Corona (City or Corona) is a suburban community located ~45 miles southeast of Los Angeles in western Riverside County, and it is situated at the junction of two major freeways, the 91 and 15. The City limits encompass approximately 39.2 square miles. Per the American Community Survey, 1-year estimate, City’s population is over 160,0001, with the estimated median household income at $103,5072. Within the City limits, there are over 35 parks, 28 elementary and middle schools, five high schools, two Metrolink Train Stations, and the Corona Transit Center. The Corona Transit Center is owned and operated by Riverside Transit Agency. CCTS provides demand response Dial-ARide/paratransit service and fixed route service dubbed the Corona Cruiser services. The City contracts with the private sector to provide a turn-key transit operation. MV Transportation is the current operating contractor.

Dial-A-Ride (DAR) service commenced in 1977 and was available to the general public throughout the City service area until January 2, 2018. Based on the data gathered, it was determined that DAR service level changes were warranted, and the program was shifted to a Specialized Service model. DAR is now focused on transit services to the following rider groups: Seniors 60 and older, Persons with Disabilities, and persons certified under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA).

DAR provides curb-to-curb service throughout the City and neighboring county areas of Coronita, El Cerrito, and Home Gardens as well as satellite locations in the City of Norco, i.e., Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Public Social 1 DP05: ACS Demographic and ... - Census Bureau Table

Services, and Norco College. The ADA requires complementary paratransit service to be provided within a ¾ mile of fixed-route services. CCTS provides citywide service and in some instances extends beyond the city limits to reach the most vulnerable group of rides. Door-to-door service is available upon request for Dial-A-Ride patrons certified under the ADA.

The Fixed Route Corona Cruiser (Cruiser) service commenced in 2001. The Cruiser’s existing Blue and Redline route alignment dates to 2004 and has experienced minor adjustments. The existing routes provide access to commercial, retail, and residential areas, medical facilities, schools, municipal facilities/services, jobs, and links to other transit services.

For a detailed description of service by mode, see Table 1 and Section 1.3. Service maps are on the following pages.

The median household income in the City of Corona is $103,507 which is slightly greater than the California state median of $100,1494. However, pursuant to the COA, 51% of the employed riders report making less than $25,000. Because of these lower income levels, a large portion of employed ridership may be entirely dependent on transit for their mobility needs.

The table below lists passenger characteristics for DAR and Cruiser service.

1.4 OPERATING DATA FOR CORONA TRANSIT

SERVICES
The table below reflects FY 2025/26 planned versus year-end estimates using data from July 2025 through March 2026.

The original passenger trip projection for FY2025/26 was 181,056. Based on current data, that projection is expected to fall short by 6%. The current projection is 169,717 in ridership on DAR and the Cruiser, based on data gathered from July 2025 through March 2026. Staff had projected based on improving conditions and free fare subsidy. While the McKinley Grade Separation project is complete, the citywide pavement continues to impact the service.

The following graph reflects the ridership for the fixed route service and the Dial-A-Ride service over the past five years.

Performance Indicator Planned Yearend Estimate
Operating Expense $ 3,945,326 $ 3,734,958
Fare Revenue* $ 385,650 $ 388,855

Operating Cost per VRH $ 137 $ 137
*Includes LCTOP revenues for fare subsidy. Does not include federal funds for fare recovery calculation nor interest revenue.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 15 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
While ridership for the Corona Cruiser was expected to increase due to reinstating the Blue Line detour, the Red Line however, was impacted by citywide pavement along its segments which impacted the service, decreasing its on-time performance efficiency.

Ridership for FY 2025/26 is expected to decrease by just 1% compared to the previous FY 2024/25.

Dial-A-Ride's ridership, based on numbers from the first three quarters, FY 2025/26 ridership is expected to decrease by 5% compared to the previous FY 2024/25. Staff is evaluating the reason for the decline but surmise that it is due to decrease in ride requests for adult day care centers and the reduced needs for healthcare appointments due to availability of online/phone appointments.

1.5 CURRENT FARE STRUCTURE

FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
Although the fares were increased, effective October 1, 2023, the City implemented a new fare subsidy program that includes free fares for students, seniors, and persons with disabilities and a reduced fare of $1.00 for the general public. This program is effective through June 30, 2026. The funding for this program is provided by the California State Department of Transportation under the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program Funds.

For general public riders who utilize the service more frequently, the option to purchase the multi-day pass will continue, as it may be more cost-effective than paying a $1 fare for each trip.

The above fare subsidy program will continue through June 30, 2027, however, Local Transportation Funds (LTF) will be utilized for the free fares for students, seniors, and persons with disabilities and AB2766 Subvention funds will be used to offset the reduced fare for the general public. LTF funds are being utilized due to delay in FY 25/26 LCTOP funding. FY 2025/26 LCTOP funds will be utilized for FY 2027/28, along with AB2766 funds which will extend the fare subsidy program through June 30, 2028.

In addition, CCTS will continue to use Air Quality Management District (AQMD) funds to subsidize Cruiser multi-day passes, 15-day passes, and 31-day passes. AQMD funds allow riders to purchase their multi-day passes at a 30% reduced price. On average, Fare Type Per Ride Day
Pass 31 Day 15 Day
General Public $1.75 4.00 $ $ 35.00 $ 17.50
Student $1.75 4.00 $ $ 24.50 $ 12.25

riders save 18-22% with the purchase of multi-day passes. With the addition of this program, riders save an average of 50% on fares.

CCTS Fare Collection System
CCTS offers the following two options to pay for trips on CCTS buses: cash (paid to the bus driver at the time of boarding) and paper fare media. Paper fare media includes oneway DAR tickets, Day and Multi-Day passes. While Day passes can be purchased on board the bus or in advance, Multi-day passes must be purchased in advance. Cash and paper fare-media tickets are dropped into the “farebox” that possesses a top compartment that facilitates the bus operator’s ability to verify at a glance the fare deposited. The operator activates a lever that allows the fares to drop into the secure bottom compartment.

Multi-day Passes must be validated and activated by the bus operator on the first day of use. Bus operators are tasked with writing the initial use date and expiration date and initialing the pass; this process activates the pass for fifteen (15) or thirty-one (31) consecutive days. At the time of each use, the bus operator verifies that the multi-day pass is current and that the passenger possesses the corresponding documentation for a student and/or senior/disabled pass holder.

CCTS recognizes that the current fare collection and validating systems are onerous, inefficient, and insufficient. Future plans to improve this service include the implementation of a comprehensive Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). ITS features that will be explored include digital fareboxes, smart card system and/or mobile ticketing applications. Of note, cash payment options will remain available. CCTS staff is working with Caltrans under their California Integrated Travel Project (Cal-ITP) to participate in their statewide procurement for a fare payment system.

1.6 REVENUE FLEET
The CCTS active fleet consists of 20 transit buses (see Table 1.1). All buses are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessibility and wheelchair securement.

The Fixed Route fleet consists of seven (7) 2015 El Dorado National EZ Rider II heavyduty/low-floor buses. EZ Rider II buses are powered with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and were placed into Corona Cruiser service in February 2016.

The Dial-A-Ride fleet consists of eleven (11) 2017 Glaval Universal E450 and two (2) 2012 El Dorado Aerotech 240 cutaway vehicles. These buses are also powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The 2017 buses were placed in service July 2018.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 18 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
The 2012 and 2017 cutaway buses will be replaced during FY 2026/27. City Council, at the April 15, 2026, meeting awarded contract to replace these vehicles.

1.7 EXISTING FACILITIES AND BUS STOP AMENITIES
CCTS operates from a City-owned facility located at 735 Public Safety Way, known as the Corporation Yard. MV Transportation (Contractor), the contractor retained to operate transit service, provides administrative and dispatching service from this location, as well as fueling and vehicle parking. Maintenance is performed by the contractor at an off-site facility located at 1930 S. Rochester Ave., Suite 119, Ontario, CA 917661.

The Cruiser (Blue and Red Line) fixed route service includes 187 bus stops and 27 bus stop shelters. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining all bus stops. CCTS supplies the Contractor with all required equipment (I-stop signs, kiosks, benches, trash receptacles, etc.) to maintain the bus stop facilities properly.

In 2022, CCTS purchased solar-powered dusk-to-dawn bus stop lighting and signaling LED and ADA-compliant activation push buttons. These lights and push buttons were installed in November 2023 at various dimly lit bus stops to improve safety and visibility.

The Cruiser also serves the Corona Transit Center, owned and operated by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA). The Corona Transit Center provides a safe and efficient transfer point between local and regional bus lines as well as regional commuter trains serving Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Trains are accessible via a pedestrian bridge to the adjacent North Main Corona Metrolink commuter rail station.

1.8 EXISTING COORDINATION BETWEEN TRANSIT

AGENCIES
CCTS staff and RTA planning and operations staff work together to coordinate bus stop location, relocations, bus routing, layover areas and facilities, and transfer points. CCTS and RTA have a reciprocal agreement that allows valid pass-holders a ‘no cost’ one-way transfer between Cruiser and RTA buses at bus stops served by both Cruiser and RTA routes 1 and 3. Transfers between bus systems are an effective way to promote public transit as a low-cost, eco-friendly and stress-free alternative to automobile trips.

In addition, CCTS coordinates marketing efforts with Metrolink to promote the use of both Metrolink and Corona’s transit services. To incentivize multimodal transportation, valid Metrolink pass-holders ride at no charge on Cruiser Blue and Red Lines to and from the Corona Transit Center and North Main Metrolink Station.

FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan

1.9 REFERENCE OF PRIOR AND/OR EXISTING STUDIES

AND PLANS
Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA)
In 2023, CCTS conducted a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) that included a route-by-route analysis of the Corona Cruiser Fixed Route service with the primary goal of developing a plan to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the City of Corona Transit Service with an outlook to respond to the changing demands for transit throughout Corona’s service area and to provide recommendations for service improvements derived from the analysis. The COA was conducted by Transportation Management and Design (TMD). The goal of the COA was to analyze the transit system and produce a comprehensive plan to enhance customer experience and routes, improve services within the program’s financial capacity, and outline steps to implement service alternatives to ensure the program’s sustainability. Further, through the COA process, CCTS wanted to improve the customer travel experience by reducing travel time, improving service frequencies and connections where possible, and introducing new and innovative transit options such as micro transit and/or on-demand services.

The COA evaluated the DAR program cost/benefit and fare structure as well as opportunities to expand or enhance the program to on-demand, micro-transit, including a demand response program targeting low-income households.

TMD and City staff have collaborated to achieve the best possible outcome for the study.

Some key components of this study included the following analysis:
• Onboard rider survey – A total of 123 rider surveys were collected; a $10 gift card was provided to incentivize the completion of the survey. • Community-wide survey – over 500 surveys collected with five3 $50 gift card prizes given randomly.
• Route Productivity analysis for potential restructuring of services to provide improved frequency and improved coordination with our regional service providers.
• Fare analysis.
• Unmet Needs Analysis to determine if any expansion or implementation of new service should be incorporated.

Transit Demand Potential
TMD performed a market analysis to help understand who in the community needs transit, and where and when they need it. They used indicators such as residential and job density, census demographics, profile of riders, community trip patterns and the shape of land use patterns and street networks to determine the transit demand potential in the City of Corona. While the current routes already provide service to many of the areas scoring high on the transit demand potential map, there are locations along the routes that do not have enough housing or employment density for public transit to perform well.

These suggest various options for changes to the Corona Cruiser network including ondemand services and modifying the segments of the routes.

TMD used the travel demand modeling online platform Replica, which gathers anonymous location-based data from cellphone carriers, credit card processors, the U.S.

Census Bureau and more, it is possible to compare the data collected in the Corona

Cruiser on-board survey with the origin-destination travel patterns for all trips that start and end within the City of Corona service area on an average day. These general community travel patterns reveal a few locations that the Corona Cruiser does not currently serve, including the areas immediately north of SR-91, both toward the North Corona and Downtown Corona areas. There are additional heavy travel patterns within smaller areas including in the neighborhoods of West and South Corona.

Goals of Service Alternatives
The following goals and objectives were identified to assist with developing service recommendations:

Objective 1 – Coverage
• Maintain coverage for the majority of existing riders. • Expand access to more destinations.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 27 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
• Enhance direct service to and from key shopping areas without requiring transfers (e.g., Citrus Village, Corona Village, Corona Town & Country, Corona Hills Plaza).
• Pilot a new microtransit service in areas presumed to be difficult to service effectively with fixed route service.

Objective 2 – Reliability
• Update schedules to improve service reliability.
• Improve frequency on productive corridors.

Objective 3 – Productivity
• Increase ridership through various service enhancements. • Eliminate unproductive route deviations and streamline route alignments.

Objective 4 – Cost
• Provide services that are sustainable and within projected budget enhancement.

COA Recommendations
Based on the analysis of the routes, rider and community survey, transit demand potential, TMD recommended two scenarios with varied service enhancements in the following years for growth opportunities. These scenarios were presented to the City Council in November 2022, followed by public outreach events to seek input from the public and target populations such as seniors and students.

Of the two scenarios presented, scenario 2 was the preferred choice. TMD developed an implementation plan based on scenario 2, which included draft schedules and bus stop changes. The COA will provided a multi-year service expansion and/or restructuring plan that will included increased frequency and Sunday service after the initial implementation.

On August 6, 2023, the City Council approved Scenario Two (2) of the proposed service recommendation as outlined in the final report of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis. The final plan is available at Comprehensive Operation Analysis | City of Corona (coronaca.gov).

On August 6, 2025, City council awarded contract with Michael Baker International (MBI) for consulting services to provide technical assistance to carry out the activities outline in the COA final plan. MBI’s core project tasks include the following:

1. Transit Planning and routing, including developing new route schedules, procuring micro transit software, marketing and public information, and service implementation.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 28 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan

2. Bus stop upgrades will include assessing existing bus stops, documenting their physical condition and compliance with ADA accessibility requirements, identifying and designing new bus stops, and developing bus stop standards to guide the assignment of amenities at bus stops.

3. Deployment of zero-emission bus technologies to comply with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) Regulation.

4. Deployment of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to modernize operations and enhance passenger experience.

5. Fleet procurement will include the purchase of replacement buses and new ADAaccessible vans for the micro transit program.

Zero Emission Bus Analysis and Rollout Plan
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) instituted the Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation in December 2018. Per the regulation, all public transit agencies are required to develop the Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Rollout Plan to deploy zero-emission buses by 2040. The ZEB rollout plan will provide a timeline and estimated cost for a phased transition to meet CARB’s regulations. The development of the ZEB rollout plan for CCTS is being conducted through a joint collaboration with RCTC and the smaller transit agencies in Riverside County. RCTC awarded the contract to the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) to develop the ZEB Rollout and Implementation Plans for the smaller transit agencies. On March 15, 2023, Corona Council approved mixed-fleet technology. CTE developed the rollout plan based on the approved technology. On June 7, 2023, the City Council adopted the rollout plan. The Plan received CARB approval on July 14, 2023. Activities related to the ZEB rollout are included in the professional consulting services as mentioned above.

Chapter 2 – Existing Service and Route Performance

2.1 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) with fiduciary and administrative oversight of transit operators in Riverside County. Each year, RCTC reviews and approves the ShortRange Transit Plan and allocates local, state, and federal funding. RCTC monitors performance that measures the effectiveness and efficiency of CCTS services. Over this chapter, you will see these measurements through Tables 2.0 - 2.3. These tables measure the current year’s performance (FY 2025/26), the upcoming year’s performance (FY 2026/27), performance by service (fixed-route and DAR), and performance by route (Red and Blue lines and DAR). The remaining components of Chapter 2 will explain what CCTS staff is doing to improve services, where major trip generators are located, and finally, any service changes that took place in FY 2025/26.

Table 2.0 provides a breakdown of all services by RCTC’s performance metrics, including farebox recovery ratio in the current fiscal year. By statute, transit operators serving urban areas must recover a minimum of 20 percent of operating costs through fare revenue for fixed route and 10 percent for Dial-A-Ride Specialized Service. Table 2.0 provides a summary of Fare revenue, which includes passenger fares, interest on investments, advertising revenue, local contributions, and the proceeds from the sale of surplus vehicles. A farebox recovery ratio below the minimum requirement endangers the receipt of state funding. The farebox recovery ratio is a mandatory performance indicator.

Through the third quarter of this fiscal year (July 2025-March 2026), CCTS lags behind the mandatory farebox recovery ratio. However, Tables 2.0 – 2.2 do not include all of the approved legislative inclusions and exclusions in AB 149. At the end of the fiscal year, CCTS expects to meet the FFR by utilizing the inclusions and exclusions in AB149.

LCTOP and federal funds will be used as local match, and DAR service will be excluded in the calculation to meet the FFR of 20% for fixed route.

If needed, the City contributes the difference to bridge the gap between fare revenue received throughout the year and the amount required to meet the farebox recovery ratio.

The contribution of funds is made only after all revenues and expenses are reconciled following the close of the fiscal year.

Further, CCTS continued focusing on other areas of improvement, which include:
 Sanitization of buses and bus stop shelters and equipment  Continue to provide hand sanitizer and masks on board the buses.  Increased customer satisfaction by reducing the number of complaints.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 30 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
 Timely repairs and preventive maintenance of revenue vehicles to reduce road calls and missed service.
 Increase on-time performance.

In addition, failure to meet other targets, such as subsidy per passenger/revenue hour/revenue mile are distorted due to total operating expenses including consulting services expenses relating to COA implementation and CIP projects. When reducing these expenses, the City is able to meet these targets.

2.2 SRTP PERFORMANCE REPORT
Table 2.1, SRTP Performance Report, lists planned performance targets set by RCTC for FY 2026/27.

Table 2.1 indicates that CCTS fails to meet the farebox recovery ratio for FY 26/27. As previously noted, the farebox recovery ratio is:
• 10 percent for Specialized DAR, and
• 20 percent for fixed route.

For FY 2026/27, due to delay in LCTOP funding, Local Transportation Funds (LTF) are being used to subsidize the free fares for students, seniors, and persons with disabilities.

However, passenger revenues reflected on in the table do not account for additional subsidized funding. In addition, as mentioned in section 2.0, CCTS intends to utilize the inclusions included in AB149 to assist with meeting the farebox recovery ratio. FY 2026/27 plan includes passenger fares, fare subsidy using LTF funds, and Federal Transit Administration funds as local funds. With the inclusion of LTF and FTA funds and the exclusion of specialized services, CCTS will be able to meet its farebox recovery ratio. If unable to meet the FFR using the inclusions, CCTS will utilize the General Fund to close any gaps in funding.

2.3 SERVICE SUMMARY
Table 2.2 depicts the year-to-year performance data. For FY 2023/24, while the operating expenses are accurate, passenger fare revenues and the farebox recovery ratio are not reflected accurately. CCTS had met the farebox recovery ratio for the two audited periods in FY 23/24 & 24/25. CCTS is expected to meet its FFR for FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 using AB149 inclusions, which include LCTOP funds and federal funds as local match.

The graph below depicts passenger trips over the past five years. Systemwide ridership for FY 2025/26 is expected to decrease an estimated 2.1 percent (or ~3,700 riders) from the previous fiscal year. While, the COVID-19 pandemic had devastating impacts on ridership, the system has been recovering. Corona Cruiser had exceed pre-COVID ridership in FY 2023/24 and Dial-A-Ride was at 92% recover in FY 24/25. For FY 2025/26, systemwide ridership was projected to increase due to improving conditions, such as completion of McKinley project and continuation of fare subsidy, rather it has had the opposite effect. Therefore, based on the data for the past nine months, staff is being cautious about FY 2026/27 projections and is estimating a 4 percent increase in systemwide ridership.

* FY 2025/26 year-end estimate is based on data collected from July 2025-March 2026. ** FY 2026/27 projections are based on a 3% percent increase over estimated FY 2025/26 year-end totals.

Corona Cruiser
CCTS operates the Cruiser along two fixed routes – the Blue Line and Red Line. The Cruiser totaled 124,806 passenger trips in FY 2024/25. Using the number of passenger trips recorded during the first nine months of FY 2025/26 as a basis for estimating yearend totals, passenger trips on the Corona Cruiser are projected to decrease by 1 percent, or an estimated 1,263 trips, compared to the previous fiscal year for a total of approximately 123,543 trips. As mentioned in the previous sections, the ongoing McKinley Grade Separation project and citywide pavement have impacted the Corona Cruiser service. Since completion of McKinley Grade Separation project, the detoured section of the Blue Line (around McKinley) was reinstated. This provided an opportunity to regain some of the lost riders and saw 7 percent increase on the Blue Line.

Unfortunately, the increase on the Blue Line was offset by decrease on the Red Line by 6 percent. The decrease on the Red Line is due to ongoing pavement project which affected multiple segments on this route. These activities have caused disruptions in the service, including the inability to service some of the major bus stops. To assist with ridership increase, the City will continue to offer the fare subsidy program through the end of FY2026/27. Therefore, staff is optimistic and cautiously projecting a 4 percent increase in ridership. See the graphs below and the following page of passenger trends by route. * FY 2024/25 year-end estimate is based on data collected from July 2024-March 2025. ** FY 2025/26 projections are based on a 4% percent increase over estimated FY 2024/25 year-end totals. -

Dial-A-Ride
Dial-A-Ride provided 48,577 passenger trips in FY 2024/25. Using data collected from the first nine months of FY 2025/26 as a basis for estimating year-end totals, passenger trips are estimated to decrease by 5 percent, or 2,402 trips, as compared to FY 2024/25.

Staff is evaluating the reasons for the decrease in ridership and believes it’s a combination of reduced adult day care trips, increased on-board trip time, and reduced trips for doctor’s appointments due to availability of online/phone appointments. Still staff is optimistic and is projecting a modest increase of 4% for FY 2026/27 based on increased marketing efforts, free fare program and elimination of the Dial-A-Ride application to streamline the qualification process.

Productivity Measures
Productivity on the Corona Cruiser is expected to decline in FY 25/26 as a result of decreased ridership as mentioned in the prior section but is projected to see a slight increase in FY 26/27. DAR, though, while ridership is expected to decline, the overall productivity is expected to increase in FY 25/26. However, for FY 26/27, DAR is expecting to see a decrease in productivity due to a modest projection of increased ridership, but higher revenue hours that are based on the contract. However, FY 26/27 yearend may yield a higher productivity as it will reflect actual revenue hours operated.

Staff will continue to monitor the service, however freeway lane reductions and ramp closures, local street and lane closures, detours, and the movement of heavy equipment all increase congestion and impact traffic flow, which slows buses. Slower speeds result in longer duration trips, thereby impacting productivity. Staff will continue to take measures to improve service which includes continuing the fare subsidy program, educating public by participating in events and workshop, timely notifications to riders about changes.

2.5 PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS
CCTS staff will continue to focus on improving the overall service monitoring, improving key performance metrics such as passengers per revenue hour and farebox recovery, and improving performance metrics, including reviewing the operation to ensure established standards are met. The staff holds the contractor responsible for various performance standards pursuant to the contract. Some of these standards include:
• On-time performance.
• Customer service experience.
• ADA compliance standards.
• Fleet maintenance.
• Maintenance of bus stop area and equipment.

As mentioned in section 1.9, CCTS conducted the Comprehensive Operation Analysis (COA) of the fixed route system to determine underperforming stops and service expansion. As a result of the approved service improvements, the program will undergo revisions and modifications to all aspects of the transit operations. Service improvements will include restructuring of the current two routes to three small routes and the addition of two micro transit zones with ten key destinations or transfer points.

The adopted COA implementation plan included a draft of the schedules and stops based on the proposal of new service. CCTS has brought consultant on board to assist and develop the strategic approach necessary to execute the implementation of activities and tasks outlined in the Final Plan. Consulting services is providing support of needs ranging from program development and planning to project identification, project development, and system operations.

For the time being, CCTS will continue to implement its fare subsidy program to entice riders and focus on improving the customer service experience.

The abovementioned approach to reviewing standards, performing a study, and revising the schedule is intended to improve ridership, productivity, and farebox recovery.

2.6 MAJOR TRIP GENERATORS
Based on the recent service assessment performed as part of the Comprehensive Operations Analysis, the majority of boardings occur at the River Run Apartments in North Corona, as well as on two locations on the Blue Line: Magnolia Avenue at Rimpau Avenue and McKinley Street at Walmart. The stops with the next highest number of boardings is located in South Corona near El Cerrito Middle School at Temescal Canyon Road at Envoy Avenue. These suggest a few common use cases for the Corona Cruiser: trips

City of Corona Transit Service Page 44 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
from densely populated residential areas where there are apartment complexes, trips from school, and trips to shopping and employment centers. These are not common regional transfer locations, suggesting that Corona Cruiser passengers are mostly traveling locally within city limits.

Additional stops with higher ridership are located near shopping areas (Main Street & Parkridge Avenue, Target at Cajalco Road, Magnolia Avenue & McKinley Street, etc.), Downtown Corona (Main Street & Sixth Street at Corona Library), and local high schools (Centennial High School).

2.7 RECENT SERVICE CHANGES
CCTS has not implemented any service changes during FY 2025/26. While requests have been received to provide service in different parts of the City, changes will be guided based on the approved COA Plan. However, the Blue Line detour due to McKinley project has been reinstated.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 45 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
Chapter 3 – Future Service Plans, Fare Changes, Capital Planning and Marketing

3.1 PLANNED SERVICE CHANGES
CCTS has plans for service changes as outlined in the approved COA Plan. As mentioned in section 1.9, the COA recommendations were adopted by City Council.

The following services changes are planned for the next few years:

Service Current 1-3 years 3-10 years
Fixed Routes 2 routes 3 routes 3 routes
Service Frequency 60-70 minutes 60 minutes 30 minutes
Span of Service (Weekday) 6:30am-7:09 Same Increase span Span of Service (Saturday) 9:00am-5:00pm Same Increase span Sunday Service Not available Not available Yes
Microtransit Not available Yes Yes
Dial-A-Ride service will continue to operate the same days and hours as fixed route service.

The above changes will reflect restructuring of the current service to encompass the following:
• Extend transit service to areas not currently served; o Green River Road vicinity (northwest area of the City) o South Corona to connect this area to North Corona
o Northwest Corona along promenade
o Reinstate service at Vintage Terrace Senior Apartments o Extending Redline to Dos Lagos on weekdays and/or during holidays/summer
• Bus stop consolidation
• Added service for City events, weekend transit to trails, parks, civic facilities loop service.
• Expansion or restructuring of service area to provide improved inter-city integration and improved interconnectivity with Riverside Transit Agency and Metrolink service plan, along with expansion into adjacent neighborhoods, such as; o Service to/from City of Corona to John F. Kennedy High and Norco College in City of Norco

City of Corona Transit Service Page 46 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
o Frequent service to/from the Corona Transit Center to increase connections with Metrolink and RTA
o Service to the West Corona Metrolink Station.

Service improvements will include route alignments, schedules, headways, hours of service, areas served, interlines, time points, traffic considerations, estimates of cost and schedules for implementation, and bus stop locations.

As mentioned previously, council awarded Michael Baker International a contract to assist with implementing the services changes. The services changes are expected to be implemented late 2027or FY 2027/28 with the goal for microtransit late FY 26/27.

3.2 MARKETING PLANS AND PROMOTION
The CCTS staff is continuously looking for strategies to increase ridership and increase awareness of Corona Transit services. These marketing strategies include:
• Bus Shelter Program – CCTS plans to replace existing advertising shelters at 20- 25 bus stops. Shelters provide bus patrons with relief from the sun during hot days and protection from rain during inclement weather. These shelters will feature two panels for advertising, a bench, an area for a person with a mobility device/wheelchair, and solar-powered security lighting. These new shelters will act as a destination for bus passengers and as an ambassador as to how public transit can beautify a neighborhood and function as a marketing tool inviting motorists to try public transit.
• Poetry and Art on the Bus Program – in cooperation with Centennial High and Corona High, CCTS continues to conduct poetry and art contests, inviting students to submit original poetry and artwork to be displayed on the interior of Cruiser buses. Selected poems and artwork are rotated each month. The program works as an outreach effort and marketing campaign at high schools while providing a creative outlet for students. Cruiser patrons are rewarded with expressive, introspective, and entertaining poems to read and artwork to ponder during their time on the bus. This program was canceled during FY 2020/21 due to COVID-19.

While this program was expected to continue during FY 2022/23, competing priorities have made it difficult to restart this program. • Free Fare Program –CCTS plans to establish an on-going reduced and free fare program. Offering various free fare programs allows the riders to experience the service with little to no cost to them with the intent the rider will continue to use the service. CCTS received approval to utilize FY 2022/23 LCTOP funds for the

City of Corona Transit Service Page 47 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
following three-year fare subsidy program which started on October 1, 2023 and ending June 30, 2026:
o Free fares for students on Corona Cruiser
o Free fares for seniors and persons with disabilities on Corona Cruiser and Dial-A-Ride
o Reduced fare of $1.00 for the general public on Corona Cruiser.

This program will continue through June 30, 2028 as outlined in Section 1.5. • Countywide Free Fare Days – Participate in the following countywide free fare days
o Car Free Day - September 22, 2026
o California Clean Air Day – October 7, 2026
o Rideshare Week – October 5-9 2026
o Election Day - November 3, 2026
o Veterans Day - November 11, 2026
o New Year’s Eve – December 31, 2026
o Transit Equity Day - February 4, 2027
o Earth Day - April 22, 2027
o Dump the Pump Day - June 17, 2027
• Community Service Events – CCTS and contractor staff will participate in community events to inform attendees of those events about available transit services.
• Updated Schedule – A new, reliable schedule, combined the completion of constructions projects, and upgrades in passenger amenities should go a long way in gaining back passengers that may have left the system for more reliable transportation alternatives.
• Social Media – Use of social media such as Facebook, Twitter etc. to market transit services available and to update the public with ongoing changes. • Customer Satisfaction Survey – On-going solicitation of customer feedback to increase rider satisfaction as well as conduct an annual rider survey. • Target Outreach – Continue building and expanding partnership with Senior living facilities and service providers, schools, churches, chamber of commerce, etc.

The above strategies will assist CCTS in regaining ridership.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 48 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan

3.3 PROJECTED RIDERSHIP GROWTH
For FY 2025/26, CCTS is projecting a decrease in ridership based on data for 3rd quarter of FY 2025/26. An estimated 2.1 percent decrease is expected compared to the previous year. However, staff is optimistic that ridership will bounce back as Staff utilizes the marketing strategies outlined in Section 3.2 in an effort to increase ridership. Further, CCTS will continue to explore options that address service attributes to attract new ridership while retaining the existing riders. Therefore, staff anticipates a 4 percent increase in ridership for FY 2026/27.

3.4 PROPOSED FARE STRUCTURE CHANGES
On August 16, 2023, the City Council approved the new fare structure as part of the adoption of the service recommendations. The fares were evaluated through a comprehensive operations analysis to keep in line with RTA’s fare structure. See Section

1.5 for details.

Therefore, CCTS is not planning another fare structure change at this time.

3.5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
FY 2026/27 capital project includes funding for bus stop improvements and replacement buses. These projects are classified under the following category: Transit Shelters and Amenities and Revenue Vehicle Purchases

TRANSIT SHELTERS AND AMENITIES CATEGORY
Bus Stop Improvements
CCTS provides and maintains benches, shelters, signage, and trash receptacles at bus stops. Installation of transit amenities along bus routes are based on numerous factors including, the number of passenger boardings at stops along the routes. CCTS plans to continue on-going improvements to bus stops which include upgrading bus stop accessibility and passenger amenities:
• Redesign and replace shelters that provide advertisement opportunities to generate revenue.
• Replace older blue fiberglass bus benches with metal benches. • Update bus stops to improve ADA accessibility.

City of Corona Transit Service Page 49 of 73
FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan
• Assess locations missing amenities and, where feasible, install new shelters, benches, and trash receptacles.
• Redesign signage.

Currently, improvements to bus stops are being made as needed. The replacement of damaged equipment and assessment are based on customer complaints.

Bus stops within the City of Corona are of the following Tier System:

Description Amenities
Tier 1 Sign, trash receptacle
Tier 2 Tier 1 with bench seating
Tier 3 Tier 2 with shelter and shelter lighting
Landmark Tier 3 with landscaping
Each location was assessed through the COA process. It was determined that 82% of the stops fall in the Tier 2 category, and 23% fall in the Tier 3 category.

However, major bus stop improvement efforts will be undertaken as a result of the COA recommendations. These efforts include:
• Removal and relocation of bus stop amenities
• New bus stop and bus stop amenities
• New ADA-accessible stops
While many stops will be eliminated and/or relocated due to restructuring of the current routes, over 60 new bus stops will be added to accommodate the one new route. All new stops will be ADA-accessible.

At a minimum, CCTS intends to have Tier 2 bus stop amenities (with lighting in locations that are dimly lit). Once the list of new stops is developed, a determination will be made for Tier 3 and Landmark locations.

In addition to the fund request in FY 2026/27, additional funding is available from prior open projects. See the table in Section 4.4, Open Projects.

Chapter 4 – Financial Planning

4.1 OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET FOR FY 26/27
Operating Budget
To continue to provide Corona Cruiser fixed route and Dial-A-Ride service, CCTS is proposing an operating budget of $4.14 million for FY 2026/27, representing a 5 percent increase ($198,073) over the current year's FY 2025/26 planned budget. The operating budget, as depicted in the table on the following page, is distributed among the following four categories:
• Contracted Services: At 80 percent, contracted services constitute the largest component of the budget. These expenses represent purchased transportation services for Dial-A-Ride and Corona Cruiser, and consulting services. Contracted expenses increased by .6 percent to account for year-to-year cost increases for transit operations. This line item also includes $200,000 budget towards consulting services. Consulting services will assist with a myriad of projects, including service planning and implementation as well as multiple capital projects. • Salaries and Benefits: Expenses include wages, fringe benefits (pension, medical, workers’ compensation), and OPEB expenses for post-employment benefits. This expense accounts for 12 percent of the budget and with 47.4 percent increase in the budget line item to account for the year-to-year increase in wages, and increased costs for opeb , retirement and health insurance. • Materials, Marketing, and Utilities: These expenses account for 3 percent of the budget and include printing and publications, advertising, Routematch Dispatching software, utilities, office supplies, minor office equipment, translation services, and administrative/ITS support services. This line item represents a 23.5 percent increase in budget due to marketing efforts and public information for services changes.
• Fuel: These expenses account for 5 percent of the total budget but has been offset by a 5 percent decrease to account for reduction in fuel cost for Dial-A-Ride

FY 2026/27 – FY 2028/29 Short Range Transit Plan

4.3 REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
Half Fare During Non-Peak Hours
According to federal statute, transit operators must allow 1) elderly persons, 2) persons with disabilities, and 3) Medicare card holders to ride fixed route service during off-peak hours for a fare that is not more than one-half the base fare charged to other persons during peak hours. The base fare for Cruiser service is $1.75 during peak and non-peak hours. The fare for an elderly person (60+), a person with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders is $0.75 throughout the service day.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Americans with Disability Act requires that complementary paratransit service be available to ADA-certified persons during the same hours and days of operation available to fixed route passengers. Complementary paratransit service must be provided within ¾ of a mile corridor from each side of a fixed route. CCTS operates Dial-A-Ride service that extends beyond the ¾ mile corridor to the city limits, into the county areas of Coronita, El Cerrito, and Home Gardens, as well as satellite locations in the City of Norco (Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Public Social Services and Norco College).

ADA-certified passengers receive priority. As such, CCTS maintains zero denials for ADA-certified passengers.

Provision of Service – ADA complementary paratransit must be provided to an ADA eligible individual, including those with temporary eligibility, a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) if necessary, and one other individual accompanying the ADA-eligible individual, if requested. Additional companions may be provided service, if space is available. Service also must be provided to visitors. Any visitor who presents ADA eligibility documentation from another jurisdiction must be provided service.

Type of Service – ADA specifies “origin to destination” service. In certain instances, this might require service beyond strict curb-to-curb. Door-to-door assistance for ADAcertified passengers is available upon request. Door-to-door service is available when:
• Drivers can see the bus at all times;
• The outermost door is within 150 feet from the bus;
• Driver safety and security is maintained; and
• Where a safe parking area is available.
