WRCOG Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF)

“In August 2000, WRCOG's Executive Committee initiated the development of a consolidated Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program (TUMF Program) for all of Western Riverside County to mitigate the cumulative regional impacts of new development. In particular, the new Program would fund improvements to the subregion's arterial highway system.”

“TUMF Program funds may only be used for capital expenditures associated with the Regional System of Highways and Arterials and for capital expenditures for transit system improvements consistent with the TUMF Nexus Study. These purposes include expenditures for planning, environmental review, engineering and design costs, right of way acquisition, construction and administrative costs.”

“The TUMF Program applies to those jurisdictions in Western Riverside County (County of Riverside and the Cities of Banning, Beaumont, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Corona, Eastvale, Hemet, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco, Perris, Riverside, San Jacinto, Temecula, Wildomar and the March Joint Powers Authority (JPA)) that have adopted and are implementing the TUMF Program Ordinance.”

“The initial TUMF enabling Ordinance was adopted by each of WRCOG's member agencies by July 2003, at which point the Program commenced and began to collect fees from new residential and non-residential projects.”

“The TUMF will be due only at the time of issuing of the Certificate of Occupancy and is not required to be paid at the initial permit application. The TUMF cannot be paid prior to the permit issuance process. However, the TUMF shall be calculated using the most current fee schedule in effect at the time the fee is due. Participating jurisdictions are prohibited from requiring the TUMF payment at permit issuance”

Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG)

“To create more efficiencies in the TUMF Program, WRCOG has implemented a revision in the TUMF process to give member agencies the option to shift responsibility of calculation and collection of TUMF from the member agency to WRCOG. This revision was approved by the Executive Committee in October 2018. As of July 1, 2025, all member agencies have notified WRCOG that they will be delegating responsibility for fee calculations and collections to WRCOG."

“The following types of new development shall be exempt from the provisions of the TUMF Administration Plan: 1. Low-income residential housing as defined in Exhibit D, Section G of the Administrative Plan. 2. Government/public buildings, public schools, and public facilities that are owned and operated by a government entity ... 4. The rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of any habitable structure in use on or after January 1, 2000, provided that the same or fewer traffic trips are generated as a result thereof. 5. 'Guest Dwellings' and 'Detached Second Units' As defined in Exhibit D of the Administrative Plan and the TUMF Ordinance. 6. Additional single-family residential units located on the same parcel pursuant to the provisions of any agricultural zoning classifications set forth in the Municipal Code.”

“The TUMF Ordinance has a provision that if a developer constructs a TUMF facility, the developer will receive credit against the TUMF obligation for the project improvements, noting that only one applicant is allowed per credit agreement. An applicant cannot enter into a credit agreement after the TUMF Facility Improvements have been constructed.”
