PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT This agreement is made by and between the parties who are signatories hereto by on or before August 15, 1975, and shall become effective on such date. 2. DECLARATION OF NEED AND AUTHORITY TO PARTICIPATE Each party to this agreement has the power to own, maintain and operate a public transportation system within its jurisdiction. All parties affirm the need for an organizational framework through which they may provide public transit service to all their citizens recognizing that many persons are dependent upon others to furnish them mobility, that an alternative to the private automobile is needed, and that a viable transit service can assist in carrying out environmental and conservation policies. 3. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND METHOD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT The purpose of this agreement is to enable the parties to provide public transit service to all of their citizens within the area encompassed by this agreement. The parties to the agreement desire by a joint exercise of their common powers to create and constitute a new public transportation entity separate and distinct from each party, with the authority to (a) Own, operate and administer a public transportation system, both within and without the corporate limits of its members. (b) Contract with any person, firm or public agency to use, manage, and operate its transportation facilities, or any portion thereof. (c) Contract with any person, firm or public agency to provide transportation facilities and service or to improve transit facilities and service being operated by said person, firm or public agency. 4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE AGREEMENT A. Establishment of Transit Agency Upon the effective date of this agreement, there is established and constituted the Riverside Transit Agency, hereinafter "RTA", or "Agency", a separate and distinct entity, as the agent to exercise the common powers provided for in this agreement and to administer or otherwise execute this agreement. B. Board of Directors - Voting RTA shall be governed by a Board of Directors (Board) comprised of: (i) Four members of the Board of Supervisors of any county whose districts include any portion of the area encompassed by this agreement, if such county is a party to this agreement. (ii) One mayor or councilman from each city that is a party to this agreement. Members shall be appointed by the governing body of each party and shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing body or until their respective successors are appointed. Termination of the status, which qualifies a person for regular or alternate membership on the Board, shall constitute automatic termination of that person's membership on the Board. The appointing body of a party may appoint a new member or alternate immediately upon the occurring of any vacancy in that party's representation. The governing body of each party shall appoint an alternate member of the Board who may be a non-elected officer or employee of the appointing party. During the absence of a regular member from any meeting of the Board, that member's alternate shall be entitled to participate in all respects as a regular member of the Board. A majority of the Governing Board of the Agency shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except that less than a quorum may adjourn from time to time; provided that the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the members of the Governing Board shall be required for the approval of any matter. C. Board Organization The Board members shall select from their number a Chairman and a Vice- Chairman who shall serve in such capacities for a period to be established by the Board. The Board shall adopt rules of procedure and shall establish a time and place for regular Board meetings, provided, however, that regular meetings shall be scheduled not less than once a month. At any meeting, the Board may consider such matters at it deems proper for carrying out the purposes of this agreement. 5.

The powers to be exercised by RTA are subject to such restrictions upon the manner of exercising such powers as are imposed upon the County of Riverside in the exercise of similar powers, or, if the County of Riverside is not a party to this agreement, upon the most populous city which is a party to this agreement. RTA shall be held strictly accountable for all funds, received, held and disbursed by it. 6.

Fiscal Year The RTA fiscal year shall be July 1 through June 30. B. Annual Budget and Capital Improvement Program The Board shall consider, and following a public hearing thereon, adopt an annual budget and a five-year transit capital improvement program, both of which are consistent with the requirements of the Southern California Association of Governments and the California Transportation Development Act. Copies of the proposed annual budget and transit capital improvement program shall be submitted to the governing bodies of the parties for comment and review at least 30 days prior to the date scheduled for public hearing and final adoption by the Board. C. Initial Operating Funds At the time of submitting its first, proposed annual budget and proposed capital improvement program to the governing bodies of the parties, the Board shall similarly submit an estimate of required initial operating funds sufficient to sustain RTA operations. Initial operating funds shall be provided by the parties in such manner as is determined by the Board. D. Annual Financial Support At the time of preparing RTA's annual proposed operating budget and proposed capital expenditure budget, the Board shall determine the amount of financial support required by RTA for the fiscal year. The support required for the annual operating budget and the capital expenditure budget shall be equitably apportioned among the parties by the Board in the basis of the estimated costs of transportation service requested and to be provided within each party's jurisdiction, after consideration of the following factors: (i) Funds available from federal grants and other sources; (ii) Transportation service requirements for capital expenditures for replacement and general system uses; and (iii) Special capital costs required for equipment and facilities to provide additional or increased services within any party's jurisdiction. (iv) Such other factors as the Board may deem appropriate. Administrative, planning, and other costs incurred by RTA that are not directly attributable to the cost of transportation services provided within each party's jurisdiction shall be proportioned to each party based on the direct cost of transportation services requested and provided within each party's jurisdiction. In such case where RTA does not provide transportation services within a party's jurisdiction, the Board shall determine an equitable sum required of said party to support indirect costs incurred by RTA. Said equitable sum shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the party's Local Transportation Fund allocation in any given fiscal year. Following the adoption of RTA's budget, the Board shall inform the legislative body of each party of the Board's determination of financial support required for the fiscal year and the computation of each party's share. The legislative body of each party shall assign by resolution the portion of its Local Transportation Fund or other fund allocation required to finance its share of the annual operating budget and capital expenditure budget. The assignment of Local Transportation Fund allocation shall be made in accordance with the claim procedures established by the Regional Transportation Agency (Southern California Association of Governments) and the State Business and Transportation Agency. 8. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL STANDARDS In the performance of its function, including the use of the property and equipment transferred by any member agency and the employment of transportation service personnel of any member agency, RTA shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Public Law 88-352), and all requirements imposed by the U.S. Department of Transportation. RTA's function shall be performed in accordance with Title VI of that act to the end that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under RTA operations. 9. TRANSFER OF EQUIPMENT Subject to prior approval by the Board, a party may convey or assign its transportation properties to RTA. Reimbursement for such conveyance or assignment shall be based on the valuation of an independent appraiser or by such other means of valuation as may be agreed to by RTA and the conveying party. 10. EMPLOYEES Should any party request that RTA assume operation of transportation services previously operated by said party, and the Board approves such assumption of operation, then RTA shall offer employment to, and shall accept the employment of the public transportation service employees of said party.
