insufficient funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system
of highways and arterials in Western Riverside County (the "Regional System"); and

formulated a plan whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new
development and would be used to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional
System; and

adopted the "Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Fee Nexus Study",
dated October 18, 2002 (the "2002 Nexus Study"); and

Ordinance 1096 adopted April 22, 2003, authorizes periodic review and adjustment to
the applicable TUMF in accordance with any adjustments made by the WRCOG

recommended that member agencies not adjust their applicable TUMF to reflect
increases in the construction cost index as a result of the current economic climate; and
