Why is Addressing Traffic Congestion Important to Our Quality

According to recent estimates, the Inland Empire’s population is expected to reach nearly 3 million by 2020. This means people are moving to the region at a phenomenal rate. With this growth comes increased traffic congestion, and that’s a problem for all of us.

What is the Two-County Corridor Transportation Study?

Transportation agencies in Riverside and San Bernardino counties launched a study to address traffic problems. Specifically the study will focus on improving mobility between Highway 60 and Interstate 10. So far, the study has:

Defined the issues to be addressed
Developed transportation improvement options
Identified possible benefits and impacts on people and surrounding areas

Why is This a Problem?

Our current transportation system is overloaded. There aren’t enough roads and freeways to handle more traffic in the future, and transit options (bus & rail) don’t serve the entire region. If we don’t take action now, additional traffic will result in more congestion, longer commutes, higher stress, additional safety risks and less time at home.

Predicting the Future

Traffic congestion means lost time, missed opportunities and enormous frustration. Let’s assume that in 20 years, traffic congestion in our region more than doubles. Our research shows how bad traffic will be under these conditions. The results are alarming:

Highway 60/I-215 in Box Springs—a 60% increase to about 300,000 cars per day
I-10 in the Loma Linda area—a 50-60% increase to about 260,000 cars per day
Highway 60 in Moreno Valley—a 60% increase to about 180,000 cars per day
