From: Darrell E. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, OCTA
Anne Mayer, Executive Director, RCTC
Subject: Draft 2023 State Route 91 Implementation Plan
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority and the Riverside County
Transportation Commission annually prepare a plan for potential improvements
along the State Route 91 corridor between State Route 57 in Orange County and
Interstate 15 in Riverside County. The plan includes a listing of proposed
improvements, preliminary cost estimates, and potential implementation timeframes.
These improvements are sponsored by various agencies , such as the
Orange County Transportation Authority, the Riverside County Transportation
Commission, the Transportation Corridor Agencies, the California Department of
Transportation, and cities along the corridor. The Draft 2023 State Route 91
Implementation Plan is provided for information purposes.
Recommendation
Receive and file as an information item.
Background
SB 1316 (Chapter 714, Statutes of 2008) requires the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC) to annually prepare a plan for potential improvements along
the State Route 91 (SR-91) corridor between State Route 57 (SR-57) in
Orange County and Interstate 15 (I-15) in Riverside County. The Draft 2023 SR-91
Implementation Plan (Plan) serves as a snapshot of current and planned activities
within the SR-91 corridor. The Plan describes transportation benefits, anticipated
costs, and schedules for projects and concepts through the post-2035 timeframe.
The intent of the Plan is to provide a compilation of information for projects along
the SR-91 corridor. This Plan was prepared in consultation with the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Transportation Corridor
Agencies (TCA), and the cities of Anaheim, Corona, Orange, and Yorba Linda.
Draft 2023 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 2
Discussion
Since 2003, considerable progress has been made in improving the SR-91 corridor.
Nearly $2 billion has been invested with the completion of 11 projects, including the
addition of 68.7 lane miles throughout the SR-91 corridor as well as Metrolink
station and service improvements. The improvements within the corridor have
helped to alleviate the effects of population growth and employment between
Orange and Riverside counties by enhancing capacity and improving mobility.
Completed projects from the Plan include:
• Green River Road Overcrossing Improvement Project;
• North Main Street Corona Metrolink Parking Structure Project;
• Eastbound lane addition from State Route 241 (SR-241) to
State Route 71 (SR-71);
• Lane addition in both directions between State Route 55 (SR-55) and
SR-241;
• Westbound lane at Tustin Avenue;
• Metrolink service improvements;
• SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project initial phase;
• Express Bus Service;
• La Sierra Metrolink parking improvements;
• SR-91 Corridor Operations Project; and
• Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station improvements.
OCTA and RCTC have adopted similar goals for the 91 Express Lanes to continue
to maintain safe, reliable, and predictable travel time s for motorists traversing
between the two counties. These guiding principles include:
• Optimizing vehicle throughput at free -flow speeds and increasing average
vehicle occupancy;
• Balancing capacity and demand to serve customers who pay tolls, as well
as carpoolers (3+) who are offered discounted tolls;
• Generating sufficient revenue to sustain the financial viability of the
91 Express Lanes;
• Paying debt service and maintaining debt service coverage ; and
• Reinvesting net revenues on the SR-91 corridor to improve regional mobility,
when appropriate.
Information for projects in the Plan is updated annually to ensure that the planning
and implementation of each project is carefully coordinated and timed to provide
maximum benefits to the SR-91 corridor. Additionally, projects on the corridor
should be coordinated to minimize construction impact s to commuters and the
surrounding communities. In the future, operational analysis by OCTA and RCTC
will be prepared for each project before implementation to ensure that the projects
meet the OCTA and RCTC goals for the SR-91 corridor.
Draft 2023 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 3
In October 2019, a consensus was reached that set the stage for a series of
projects included in the Plan to be implemented sequentially to improve the SR-91
corridor. OCTA, RCTC, TCA, Caltrans District 8 and District 12, as well as Caltrans
Headquarters, agreed to project sequencing to enable the streamlining of the
SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector Project, while minimizing impacts to the
SR-91 corridor. The agencies reached consensus on a program of projects and
sequencing as follows:
1. 15/91 Express Lanes Connector
2. SR-91 Corridor Operations Project
3. SR-71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements
4. SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector*
*Note: SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector is not dependent upon completing
SR-71/SR-91 interchange improvements.
Coordination efforts for the 2023 Plan (Attachment A) resulted in various updates
to project status, costs, and schedules. Projects included in the Plan are organized
as follows: Orange County projects, Riverside County projects, and bi -county
projects as shown below.
• Orange County projects include three improvements:
o SR-91 improvements between SR-57 and SR-55;
o Placentia Metrolink Rail Station; and
o Metrolink improvements.
• Riverside County projects include four improvements:
o 15/91 Express Lanes Connector;
o Eastbound 91 Express Lane Extension;
o SR-71/SR-91 interchange improvements; and
o Improvements east of I-15.
• Bi-county projects which benefit both Orange and Riverside counties include
three projects:
o SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector;
o 91 Eastbound Corridor Operations Project (SR-241 to SR-71); and
o 91 Westbound Improvements (SR-241 to SR-71).
As part of the preparation of the Plan, a traffic analysis was conducted to quantify
travel times for westbound (WB) morning and eastbound (EB) afternoon conditions
for all capacity/operation-enhancing projects scheduled to be completed by 2030
and 2045. Traffic conditions along the SR-91 corridor stabilized for the most part
throughout 2022, which is the base for the existing conditions. The WB morning
traffic analysis results indicate that for the year 2030 forecasts, travel times are
anticipated to increase in Riverside County (by about six minutes), and no change
Draft 2023 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 4
is anticipated in Orange County. For 2045 forecasts, WB travel times decrease in
Riverside County by about 21 minutes but increase in Orange County by about
16 minutes.
The EB afternoon traffic analysis indicates that for the year 2030 forecasts, travel
times in Riverside County are anticipated to improve (by about 18 minutes) but
increase in Orange County (by about 24 minutes). EB travel times in Riverside
County for 2045 increase slightly (by about eight minutes) and decrease in
Orange County (by about 29 minutes). OCTA and RCTC will continue monitoring
the SR-91 traffic pattern changes throughout 2023.
Generally, the increases in travel times are due to growth in population and
employment opportunities as well limitations at some end points to handle growth
in travel demand. The improvements in travel times are due to the benefits of
various projects in response to implementation of local general plans, hence the
need to continue bi-county transportation planning and coordination along the
primary direct route between Orange and Riverside counties.
Conceptual Projects
The improvements included in Appendix A of the Plan are highly conceptual in
nature and implementation would require a significant amount of planning, design,
external funding, and policy and public input. Since 2010, staff have evaluated the
Irvine Corona Expressway (ICE) concept annually as part of the preparation of the
Plan to monitor tunneling technology and financial viability. Taking into
consideration the ICE concept’s proposed tunnel length and diameter, current
economic conditions, and high construction costs, the ICE concept was
consistently found to be challenging to construct. In 2021, the SR -91 Advisory
Committee directed staff to review land uses adjacent to the proposed ICE concept.
Significant development in the area of the proposed ICE eastern terminus near the
I-15/Cajalco Road junction has occurred, occupying formerly open space. In 2022,
the SR-91 Advisory Committee requested the removal of the ICE concept from the
Plan due to incompatibility with current land uses.
Summary
OCTA and RCTC have completed the 2023 Plan required by SB 1316. As the Plan
is updated annually, it is important to ensure that projects are coordinated in such
a way that they provide maximum benefits to the SR-91 corridor. This would be
achieved through implementing projects that optimize the operations of the corridor
and the 91 Express Lanes. The Plan serves as a compilation of future potential
projects and project level decisions can be made when individual projects are being
considered for implementation.

STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 4
Introduction
Section 1: 2023 Status Report and Update
Previous law authorized the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to enter into franchise agreements with
private companies to construct and operate four demonstration
toll road projects in California. This resulted in the development of
the 91 Express Lanes facility in Orange County. The four-lane,
10-mile toll road runs along the median of State Route 91 (SR-91)
in northeast Orange County between the Orange/Riverside
County line and State Route 55 (SR-55). Since the 91 Express
Lanes carried its first vehicle on December 27, 1995, the facility
has saved users tens of millions of hours of commuting time.
While the 91 Express Lanes facility has improved travel time
along the SR-91 corridor, provisions in the franchise agreement
between Caltrans and the private franchisee, the California Private
Transportation Company (CPTC), prohibited Caltrans and county
transportation agencies from adding transportation capacity or
operational improvements to the SR-91 corridor through the year
2030 from Interstate 15 (I-15) in Riverside County to the
Orange/Los Angeles Counties border. Consequently, the public
agencies were barred from adding new lanes, improving
interchanges, and adding other improvements to decrease
congestion on the SR-91 freeway.
Recognizing the need to eliminate the non-compete provision of
the franchise agreement, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly
Bill 1010 (Lou Correa) (AB 1010) into law in September 2002,
paving the way for much-needed congestion relief for thousands
of drivers who use SR-91 to travel between Riverside and Orange
Counties each day. The bill allowed the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) to purchase the 91 Express
Lanes franchise and eliminate the non-compete clause that
prohibited capacity-enhancing improvements from being made to
SR-91. Although the 91 Express Lanes operate within a 10-mile
stretch of Orange County, between SR-55 and Orange/Riverside
county lines the franchise technically allowed operation of toll
lanes into Riverside County. The purchase agreement for the 91
Express Lanes was completed on January 3, 2003, placing the
road in public hands at a cost of $207.5 million. With the
elimination of the non-compete provision through AB 1010 and
the subsequent 91 Express Lanes purchase by OCTA, Orange
County and Riverside County public officials and Caltrans Districts
8 and 12 have been coordinating improvement plans for SR-91.
5STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023
Introduction (continued)
Senate Bill 1316 (Lou Correa) (SB 1316) was signed into law in
September 2008 as an update to the provisions of AB 1010. SB
1316 authorizes OCTA to transfer its rights and interests in the
Riverside County portion of SR-91 toll lanes by assigning them to
the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and
authorizes RCTC to operate tolls for 50 years. In 2017, RCTC
opened the extension of the 91 Express Lanes to traffic into
Riverside County with completion of the initial phase of the SR-
91 Corridor Improvement Project (see Appendix B). SB 1316
also requires OCTA and RCTC, in consultation with Caltrans, to
issue an annual SR-91 Implementation Plan (Plan) for SR-91
improvements between State Route 57 (SR-57) and I-15. The
Plans prior to adoption of SB 1316 included a westerly project
limit of SR-55. The Plan establishes a program of potential
improvements to relieve congestion and improve operations in
the SR-91 corridor.
The 2023 Plan fulfills the requirement to provide the State
Legislature with an annual Implementation Plan for SR-91
improvements and builds on the 2022 Plan. The projects
included in the 2023 Plan have been infused with various
sources of local, state, and federal funding. The 2023 Plan
includes overviews, status summaries, and proposed costs and
schedules for projects to improve mobility on SR-91. Also
included are conceptual lane diagrams (as appropriate), and
discussions of key considerations that need to be addressed in
the planning and development of each project. This Plan will
provide OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans with a framework to
implement SR-91 and other related improvements. Future annual
Plan updates will continue to refine the scope, cost, and schedule
of each project included in this version of the Plan.
6STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023
Section 1: 2023 Status Report and Update
With the completion of the State Route 91
Corridor Improvement Project’s initial
phase in spring 2017, there are now
approximately 18 miles of Express Lanes
between Orange and Riverside counties.
OCTA and RCTC have adopted goals for
the 91 Express Lanes to continue to
maintain a safe, reliable, and predictable
travel time for express lane users
traversing seamlessly between the two
counties. The goals listed here take into
consideration the 91 Express Lanes as well
as the SR-91 corridor at large.

Project
Accomplishments
Completed Construction/ Improvement Projects
Repaved and sealed pavement surfaces, restriped, and replaced raised channelizers on the 91 Express Lanes.
On EB SR-91 the roadway was restriped, and the median barrier was reconstructed. This project removed the CHP
enforcement area and extended the EB auxiliary lane from SR-71 to the Serfas Club Drive off-ramp.
The WB auxiliary lane was extended between the County line and SR-241. This project eliminated the lane drop at the
91 Express Lanes and extended the existing auxiliary lane from the County line to SR-241 in the westbound direction.
This improvement minimized the traffic delays at the lane drop area, resulting in improved vehicle progression.
On WB SR-91 the roadway was restriped to extend the auxiliary lane between SR-71 and the County line. This
resulted in a new continuous lane between SR-71 and SR-241.
Safety Improvements were constructed at the Truck Scales. Existing shoulders were improved, lanes were re-striped,
illumination improved, and signage was modified into and out of the EB facilities.

9STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023
Section 1: 2023 Status Report and Update
These projects provide enhanced freeway capacity and/or
improved mobility for one of the most congested segments of
SR-91.
The completed EB SR-91 lane addition project from SR-241 to
SR-71 (see Appendix B) has improved highway operations. This
project reduced travel time by approximately 20 minutes during
its opening year.
The Initial CIP project has provided significant benefits to drivers
on SR-91. This $1.4 billion investment project included widening
SR-91 by one GP lane in each direction east of SR-71, adding
collector-distributor (CD) roads and direct south connectors at I-
15/SR-91, extending the 91 Express Lanes to I-15, and
providing system/local interchange improvements. The new lanes
and other improvements provide time savings, offer choice and
reliability, boost safety, enhance access and job creation, promote
ridesharing, reduce pollution, and aid the movement of goods
along the region's roadways.
The WB SR-91 Widening Project completed construction in
2016 from State College Blvd to Interstate 5 (I-5). This project
added one WB general purpose lane and removed the dedicated
exit lane to State College Blvd from the SB SR-57 to WB SR-91
Connector that contributed to operational issues due to the short
weaving distance. While this project falls just to the west of the
limits for the Plan study area, it will have an influence on
operations within the Plan area.
In addition, there are two projects that impact future SR-91
widening projects. The first is the $2.8 billion U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) Santa Ana River Mainstem project that
provides flood protection from the recently improved Prado Dam
(near SR-71) to the Pacific Ocean. The project includes many
features that have already been completed, including
improvements to Seven Oaks Dam, 30 miles of levees and
modifications to original project features including raising the
Prado Dam embankment and installation of new, larger capacity
outlet works. In 2021, the Corps and Orange County Flood
Control District amended a cooperative agreement which would
allow the Corps to use federal funds under the Bipartisan Budget
Act to complete select features of the project.
SR-91 project teams have coordinated with the Corps, Orange
County Flood Control District, Caltrans, and other federal,
regional, and local agencies to accommodate planned SR-91
improvements adjacent to the Santa Ana River.

period times as well as day-to-day variations of traffic patterns
along the SR-91 corridor have been stabilized for the most
part. In the Traffic Operations Policy Directive (23-01) issued
by Caltrans on January 30 of 2023, the request of using
historical traffic data to conduct analyses for State Highway
System (SHS) projects was updated to apply for the time
period starting on March 13th, 2020 and ending on January
31st, 2022.
As a result, existing traffic data was collected for the purpose
of this analysis in support of the 2023 Plan. Existing morning
(6-10 a.m.) and afternoon (3-7 p.m.) peak period traffic
volumes were collected from multiple data sources. The SR-91
mainline and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) volumes were
obtained from the Caltrans Performance Measurement System
(PeMS). The SR-91 Express Lane volumes were provided by
OCTA and RCTC. The SR-91 on- and off-ramp volumes were
collected from the field. In addition, the travel time and speed
data were collected from the field and supplemented with
INRIX speed data. All existing traffic data represent typical
weekday traffic patterns along the SR-91 corridor in the
month of October 2022.
The Caliper TransModeler software model that reflected the
2019 (pre-COVID) conditions was updated and validated to
the new existing 2022 conditions. The model used for the
2023 Plan also incorporated dynamic traffic assignment to
further enhance the model’s performance in route choice and
to better capture traffic operations due to congestion patterns
and toll strategies. The model represents the morning (6-10
a.m.) and afternoon (3-7 p.m.) peak periods.
Under existing (2022) conditions, current capacity of the SR-
91 corridor is inadequate to accommodate existing peak
demand volumes. Level of Service (LOS) F prevails in the peak
direction during the majority of morning peak period and the
entire afternoon peak period. The definition of LOS F is a
density of more than 45 passenger cars/lane/mile and the
worst freeway operating condition. The results also indicate
that there are several physical conditions that contribute to
unacceptable traffic queues.
13STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023
Section 1: 2023 Status Report and Update
Existing Traffic Conditions Summary
During the weekdays, westbound SR-91 experiences heavier traffic conditions during the morning commute for travelers leaving
Riverside County to employment areas in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. The corridor is generally most congested between the
peak period of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the westbound direction and the peak period of 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the eastbound direction. Due to
the high demand, congestion in the corridor occurs before and after the peak periods. The eastbound afternoon conditions tend to be
exacerbated by the lack of receiving capacity in the Riverside County portion of the SR-91 corridor. Accordingly, RCTC is working
closely with Caltrans District 8 to sponsor improvements that will provide congestion relief for the eastbound afternoon condition.
Some of these improvements include the 15/91 Express Lane Connector, SR-71/SR-91 Interchange, and Improvements East of I-15.
The following is a summary of the deficiencies identified along the SR-91 corridor:
Heavy traffic volumes to/from I-15 converge with the SR-91 and increase delay during the morning and evening peak hours.
SR-71 traffic demand as well as physical and operational constraints for the EB SR-91 to NB SR-71 connector contribute to mainline and EB
SR-91 corridor delays.
Partial completion of the westbound 91 Corridor Operations Project improves the traffic operations in the westbound direction. However,
traffic entering the WB SR-91 from the Green River Road and SR-71 on-ramps still contributes to mainline congestion during the morning
peak period.
High traffic volumes entering the freeway from Gypsum Canyon Road, Santa Ana Canyon Road, Green River Road, Weir Canyon Road,
Imperial Highway and Lakeview Avenue contribute to congestion on the SR-91 mainline.
One of the two lanes from the Eastern Transportation Corridor (State Route 241) connector is dropped at the merge to EB SR-91 causing
additional congestion on the EB SR-91 general purpose lanes.
At the NB SR-55 interchange with EB SR-91, a lane on SR-91 is dropped (as a dedicated exit) at Lakeview Avenue and a second lane is
dropped (as a dedicated exit) at Imperial Highway creating a weave condition.
WB SR-91 drops two GP lanes and a 91 Express Lane to SB SR-55, contributing to mainline congestion. This drop also occurs on the left-
hand side of SR-91, creating a weaving condition.
WB traffic entering SR-91 at Lakeview Avenue traveling to SB SR-55 contributes to mainline congestion by weaving across three lanes on
SR-91.
A lane drop on EB SR-91 at SB SR-241 creates a chokepoint.
14STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023
Section 1: 2023 Status Report and Update
Logical Project Sequencing
As noted, the SR-91 Corridor in Riverside County, in the
EB direction, lacks the receiving capacity during the
afternoon peak period which creates a bottleneck
condition. Due to the high levels of congestion
experienced on this segment of the corridor, there is
sensitivity to any changes that may affect traffic
operations. Without first addressing the congestion in
Riverside County, any performance or capacity enhancing
projects upstream would further exacerbate congested
conditions causing additional delays and queueing.
Therefore, projects that have the potential to impact
demand and/or provide additional capacity in the EB
direction should be considered in a logical sequence to
ensure that there is sufficient receiving capacity in
Riverside County.
In October 2019, a consensus was reached between
OCTA, RCTC, Caltrans, and the TCA that would set the
stage for a series of projects to be implemented in
sequential order to improve the SR-91 corridor. OCTA,
RCTC, TCA, and Caltrans, Districts 8 and 12, as well as
Caltrans Headquarters directors, worked through five
major issues. This framework will enable the streamlining
of the implementation of the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled
Express Connector project while minimizing impacts to
the 91 corridor. The subject matter of the multi-agency
consensus is outlined to the right:
1.Setting priorities for SR-91 corridor projects to reduce
construction-related impacts;
2.Allowing completion of the environmental approval process and
updating related programming documents;
3.Clarifying lead agencies for final design, construction, and
maintenance;
4.Identifying the principal funding agency for final design,
construction, and maintenance; and
5.Designating lead agencies for retaining toll revenue and toll
setting/operational control.
Based on the above framework, the agencies reached consensus on
a 91 Corridor program of projects and sequencing as outlined
below:

Traffic Analysis
For the 2023 Plan, the traffic analysis for major SR-91 projects used the
TransModeler model calibrated and validated to reflect existing traffic
patterns of 2022 as described in the prior section. This traffic simulation
model provides a better depiction of actual travel delays experienced by
motorists compared to traditional travel demand models. The model can
be used to analyze freeway bottlenecks sometimes neglected in
traditional travel demand models.
This approach is especially important given high SR-91 traffic volumes
and the potential for relatively few vehicles to significantly slow down
traffic. For example, a minor freeway merging area can cause many
vehicles to slow, cascading delay through the traffic stream, and rapidly
decreasing both speed and volume for major segments of the freeway.
The metrics reported in the Plan include travel time from the beginning to
the end of the study corridor and vehicle hours of delay experienced on
the study corridor, which both focus on operations for vehicles on SR-91.
A third metric includes vehicles served by the system in the study corridor
and takes into consideration vehicles on ramps and freeways that feed
into or are fed by SR-91 in the study area. In addition to the existing year
2022 analysis, two future years of 2030 and 2045 were analyzed and
include the SR-91 projects that are scheduled to be completed by the
respective year. The operations analysis quantified travel time savings for
WB morning and EB afternoon conditions for the following major
improvements projects:

Westbound Analysis
The WB morning traffic analysis results indicate that for the year
2030 forecasts, peak hour travel times are anticipated to
exacerbate in Riverside County (by about 6 minutes) and maintain
to the same in Orange County. In addition to increasing travel time,
overall vehicle hours of delay in the corridor will increase (by about
29 percent), while the entire system is able to serve more vehicles
(by about 4 percent). Bottlenecks are anticipated at the Orange-
Riverside County line and at the SR-241 interchange/Gypsum
Canyon interchange area, which will create a long queue on WB
SR-91 extending to the I-15/SR-91 interchange. The bottleneck at
the SR-55 interchange will be relieved.
For the year 2045 forecasts, travel times are anticipated to
decrease (by about 21 minutes) in Riverside County, and increase
(by about 16 minutes) in Orange County when compared to 2030.
Overall vehicle hours of delay will decrease (by about 10 percent)
in the corridor, and the number of vehicles the system is serving
will also increase (by about 12 percent). There is a bottleneck at
SR-71 due to a large increase of vehicles going to and from SR-71.
Also, with more vehicles able to travel downstream, another
bottleneck occurs at the Tustin Avenue and SR-55 area. Travel
time in Orange County shows an increase in 2045 due to the
growth in traffic, projects relieving congestion upstream allowing
more vehicles to travel downstream, and no additional capacity
enhancing projects in Orange County. OCTA and RCTC are
exploring multi-modal opportunities on, or adjacent to, the SR-91
corridor that could provide additional congestion relief.
Express Lanes in the westbound direction operate satisfactorily in
2030 and will experience a slowdown in 2045 in Riverside County
where the 3-lane section merges back to two lanes. RCTC is
planning to implement dynamic pricing for the SR-91 corridor in
the near future, which will help to maintain satisfactory operation
of the Express Lanes.

Eastbound Analysis
The EB afternoon traffic analysis indicates that for the year 2030
forecasts, peak hour travel times are anticipated to decrease (by
about 18 minutes) in Riverside County and increase (by about
24 minutes) in Orange County. With the increase of total travel
time (by about 6 minutes) required to travel through the corridor,
the vehicle hours of delay will also increase (by about 3 percent)
and the number of vehicles served by the system will decrease
(by about 3 percent). The major bottleneck still occurs at the
county line. Improvement projects near SR-55 and I-15 should
alleviate congestion in those areas.
For the year 2045 forecasts, travel times are anticipated to
increase (by about 8 minutes) in Riverside County and decrease
in Orange County (by about 29 minutes) when compared to
2030. Overall vehicle hours of delay will decrease (by about 8
percent) and the number of vehicles the system is serving will be
greater (by about 8 percent). The main bottleneck remains at the
county line, however, with the inclusion of the EB Corridor
Operations Project, the congestion at the county line will be
reduced. More vehicles traveling downstream will increase
congestion in Riverside County near the Main Street and I-15
area.
Express Lanes in the eastbound direction operate satisfactorily
in all the analysis years.

Concept Project Summary
Many of the highway concept projects identified in this 2023
Plan are long lead time projects and/or projects without
sufficient project development detail to be advanced into the
Project Summary section. These potential concepts include
significant environmental constraints and right of way
requirements in addition to requiring a significant amount of
planning, design, and future policy and public input. Many of
these concept projects are multi-billion-dollar improvements
that will remain a challenge to implement. Refer to Appendix A
for details on each concept project.
Since 2010, staff has evaluated the Irvine Corona Expressway
(ICE) concept annually as part of the preparation of this Plan to
determine if tunneling technology has changed and become
less cost prohibitive. Several tunnel projects were investigated
over the years to gain insights into how boring technology is
evolving including the Las Vegas Convention Center and the
Ontario International Airport loops. Taking into consideration
the ICE concept’s proposed tunnel length and diameter,
current economic conditions, coupled with high construction
costs, the concept was consistently found to be challenging to
construct.
Under the direction of the SR-91 Advisory Committee in 2021,
staff reviewed land uses adjacent to the ICE to determine
compatibility with the concept. At the ICE eastern terminus
near the Interstate 15/Cajalco Road junction, much has
changed since the development of the concept. Significant
residential and commercial development has occurred,
occupying formerly open space which complicates the viability
of the eastern end of conceptual alignment. In 2022, the SR-
91 Advisory Committee requested the removal of the ICE
concept from the Plan due to incompatibility with current land
uses.
The Anaheim to Ontario International Airport Maglev High
Speed Rail concept was also removed from the Plan this year.
This concept has not seen progress since 2012 and no plans
or updates are available. If this concept becomes active, it can
be added back to the Plan through future annual updates.

The intent of the Implementation Plan is to present a list of
projects and studies along the SR-91 corridor and highlight
coordination between OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans to improve
the corridor.
As part of the project development process, detailed operational
analysis will need to be conducted to evaluate operational
issues associated with each project. The project development
phases are discussed in the status updates and are defined as

SR-91 Improvements between SR-57 and SR-55
Project Description
The project proposes to add EB capacity
between SR-55 and SR-57, improve the SR-
91/SR-57 and SR-91/SR-55 interchanges and
local interchanges. In the SR-91/SR-57
interchange area, improvements identified in
Project Approval/Environmental Document
(PA/ED) phase include extending an additional
lane on WB SR-91 from the NB SR-57 to WB
SR-91 connector through State College
Boulevard and terminating at the auxiliary lane
to Raymond Avenue-East Street. At the SR-
91/SR-55 interchange area, a drop on-ramp
from Lakeview Avenue would be constructed
between realigned WB SR-91 lanes for direct
access to SB SR-55, allowing for the exit to SB
SR-55 to be moved further east, separating WB
SR-91 and SB SR-55 traffic west of the
Lakeview Avenue bridge. The 91 Express Lanes
will not be impacted by the project. In order to
accommodate the improvements, the Lakeview,
Tustin, Kraemer/Glassell, and La Palma bridges
are proposed to be replaced. The improvements
have been developed in cooperation with local
jurisdictions and affected communities.
The proposed project improvements on WB and
EB SR-91 may require partial right-of-way
acquisition and Temporary Construction
Easements (TCEs). In some areas, a non-
standard geometric cross-section is proposed to
reduce the right-of-way impacts.
Key Considerations
The proposed project improvements on WB and
EB SR-91 between SR-57 and SR-55 include,
among other features, adding one EB general
purpose lane to achieve lane balancing and
interchange improvements. Project
improvements will reduce congestion and delay
and reduce weaving.
Benefits
The project improvements were originally studied
in the SR-91 Feasibility Study, which was
completed in June 2009. The Project Study Report
was completed in 2014 and the Project
Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) was
completed in 2020. This project was then split into
three separate segments and the Plans
Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) phase began in
2020 for all three segments. The proposed
improvements are included in the Measure M
program.
Current Status
Construction is anticipated to be completed in
2029 and the total project cost is estimated to
be approximately $460,000,000.

Placentia Metrolink Rail Station
Project Description
The new Placentia Metrolink Station will serve
the Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line, providing
commuter rail service between Perris and Los
Angeles, via Riverside and Orange counties. The
project includes construction of a parking
structure, OCTA bus access, an area for
passenger pick-up and drop-off, and two station
platforms.
The station will meet the current transit demand
and foster train ridership growth in the region,
contributing to congestion relief on SR-91.
Benefits
The City of Placentia is the lead on right-of-way and environmental clearance, and OCTA is the lead
agency for design and construction of the project. Funding for the project is programmed to use 91
Toll Revenues, M2 (OC Go) and the City of Placentia funds for the construction phase. State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and
Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA), OC Go and City funds are programmed for the design and
right-of-way costs. Project is currently on hold.
Current Status
Plans are 100 percent complete, however, the
construction contract cannot be advertised until
a Construction and Maintenance Agreement is
in place with BNSF Railway, the right-of-way
owner. The project will be advertised for bids
once an agreement is in place. The total project

Project Description
There are 16 daily trains that run on the Inland
Empire-Orange County (IEOC) Line and nine
trains running on the 91/Perris Valley (91/PV)
line for a total of 25 daily trains. The Perris
Valley portion of the 91/PV Line extends
Metrolink service southeast by 25 miles, from
Riverside to Perris via Moreno Valley. Metrolink
is conducting a service growth development
plan that would look at optimizing service
throughout the region.
Construction of the new Placentia Metrolink
station will improve passenger access along the
91/PV Line by creating a station between
Fullerton and Corona.
Key Considerations
Enables development of Metrolink service,
improved efficiency, and fosters train ridership
growth in the region, contributing to congestion
relief on the SR-91.
Benefits
Metrolink’s service growth development plan will
address the way service is provided and will
optimize service in a pre-pandemic environment.

15/91 Express Lanes Connector
Project Description
The Project Approval and
Environmental Document (PA/ED) for
the SR-91 Corridor Improvement
Project (CIP), from SR-241 to Pierce
Street, included the addition of a 5th
lane in each direction, the addition of
auxiliary lanes at various locations, the
addition of collector-distributor lanes
at the I-15/SR-91 interchange, the
extension of the 91 Express Lanes
from the Orange County line to I-15,
the construction of a SR-91 Express
Lanes median direct connector to and
from I-15 South, a SR-91 Express
Lanes median direct connector to and
from I-15 North (15/91 Express Lanes
Connector, the subject project), and
the construction of one Express Lane
in each direction from the I-15/SR-91
interchange southerly to I-15/Cajalco
Road (completed as part of RCTC I-15
Express Lanes Project), and easterly to
east of McKinley Street. Due to
funding constraints, a Project Phasing
Plan was developed to allow an Initial
Phase, with reduced improvements, to
move forward as scheduled, with the
remaining ultimate improvements to
be completed later. Subsequently, the
proposed 15/91 Express Lanes
Connector improvements (the subject
of this project) have been pulled out
from the CIP as a standalone project.
Coordination among many of the SR-91 freeway projects that overlap the project
limits is critical to successfully delivering these projects on schedule and within
budget. Designing to accommodate future projects is a recurring theme for each
of these projects. Minimizing conflicts in scope between projects requires direct
coordination between each project team. Additionally, future projects frequently
have multiple alternatives under study, each with differing scope and construction
footprints. Specifically, the project improvements need to continue to be
coordinated with the SR-71/SR-91 interchange, the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled
Express Connector, and the Eastbound 91 Express Lane Extension.
Key Considerations
The 15/91 Express Lanes Connector project will reduce congestion and
operational delays by providing direct median-to-median access between the
SR-91 Express Lanes and I-15 Express Lanes. Traffic operations will improve by
eliminating weaving conflicts and out-of-direction travel along SR-91 and I-15
by the use of the direct connectors. The project will provide motorists a choice to
use the 15/91 Express Lanes Connector for a fee in exchange for time savings.
Benefits
The 15/91 Express Lanes
Connector is currently discussed

Build contract was awarded in
Spring 2020 and the project is
currently under construction.
Current Status
Construction is planned to be
completed in late 2023. The
total project cost is estimated to
be $270,000,000.

Eastbound 91 Express Lane Extension
Project Description
The Eastbound 91 Express Lane
Extension is a new project that was
initiated in 2022. The scope of the
project is to extend a second eastbound
toll express lane from the exit to the
express lane connectors (just east of the
Main Street Undercrossing) to the
beginning of the SR-91 HOV lane just
east of Promenade Avenue
Overcrossing.
Coordination among many of the SR-91
freeway projects that overlap the project
limits is critical to successfully delivering
these projects on schedule and within
budget. Designing to accommodate
future projects is a recurring theme for
each of these projects. Minimizing
conflicts in scope between projects
requires direct coordination between
each project team. Additionally, future
projects frequently have multiple
alternatives under study, each with
differing scope and construction
footprints. Specifically, the project
improvements need to continue to be
coordinated with the SR-71/SR-91
interchange, the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled
Express Connector, and the 15/91
Express Lanes Connector.
Key Considerations
The Eastbound 91 Express Lane Extension will reduce
congestion and improve operations in the express lanes
and general-purpose lanes by providing a gap closure
lane between the existing express lanes and HOV lane
reducing merging and weaving on eastbound 91 within
the existing bottleneck of the I-15 interchange area.
Benefits
The Project Approval and Environmental
Document (PA/ED) phase is currently underway.
Current Status
Construction is planned to be completed in late
2023 . The total project cost is estimated to be
$10,000,000.

SR-71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements
Project Description
The current project includes
a new two-lane direct
connector from eastbound
(EB) SR-91 to northbound
(NB) SR-71 and realignment
of the existing Green River
Road SR-91 EB on-ramp to
provide connection to NB
SR-71 and EB SR-91.
Project improvements must
be coordinated with the
following projects: the SR-
91 Sixth GP Lane Addition
and the SR-241/SR-91
Tolled Express Connector.
Close coordination with the
U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, and
California Department of
Fish and Wildlife will also be
required as the connector
crosses the Santa Ana River
west of the Prado Dam.
Key Considerations
The project will provide a new direct connector improvement from
EB SR-91 to NB SR-71, replacing the geometric choke point
created by the existing loop connector. The project will also
improve traffic operations and operational efficiency by eliminating
or minimizing weaving conflicts through the use of auxiliary lanes.
Benefits
The environmental phase was completed in 2011
and final design in 2015. An environmental
revalidation and update to the final design was
completed in 2022. The project started
construction in January 2023.

SR-91 Improvements East of I-15
Project Description
The Project Approval and Environmental
Document (PA/ED) for the SR-91
Corridor Improvement Project (CIP), from
SR-241 to Pierce Street, included the
addition of a 5th lane in each direction,
the addition of auxiliary lanes at various
locations, the addition of collector-
distributor lanes at the I-15/SR-91
interchange, the extension of the 91
Express Lanes from the Orange County
line to I-15, the construction of a SR-91
Express Lanes median direct connector
to and from I-15 South, a SR-91 Express
Lanes median direct connector to and
from I-15 North, and the construction of
one Express Lane in each direction from
the I-15/SR-91 interchange southerly to
I-15/Cajalco Road (completed as part of
RCTC I-15 Express Lanes Project), and
easterly to east of McKinley Street. Due
to funding constraints, a Project Phasing
Plan was developed to allow an Initial
Phase, with reduced improvements, to
move forward as scheduled, with the
remaining ultimate improvements to be
completed later. The SR-91
improvements east of I-15, which
includes extending an Express Lane east
of McKinley Street and adding a general-
purpose lane to Pierce Street in each
direction (the subject project), is a
component of the SR-91 CIP that was
not constructed with the Initial Phase.
Coordination among many of the SR-91 freeway
projects that overlap the project limits is critical to
successfully delivering these projects on schedule
and within budget. Designing to accommodate
future projects is a recurring theme for each of
these projects. Minimizing conflicts in scope
between projects requires direct coordination
between each project team. Additionally, future
projects frequently have multiple alternatives under

need to continue to be coordinated with the SR-
71/SR-91 interchange, the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled
Express Connector, the 15/91 Express Lanes
Connector, and the Eastbound 91 Express Lane
Extension.
Key Considerations
The SR-91 Improvements east of I-15 will reduce
congestion and delays by providing additional SR-91
capacity from I-15 to Pierce Street.
Benefits
Preliminary engineering is complete but may need to be
revisited at a future date. The SR-91 Improvements east
of I-15 is currently discussed in the SR-91 CIP
environmental document for the SR-91 that was
completed in 2012.
Current Status
Anticipated project completion and cost are to be
determined.
Schedule and Cost
There are three Bi-County improvement
projects that will benefit both Orange and
Riverside Counties. These projects
include: the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express
Connector, Eastbound Corridor
Operations Project (SR-241 to SR-71),
and 91 Westbound Improvements (SR-
241 to SR-71). The total cost for the
projects is expected to be more than $380

SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector
Project Description
The SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express
Connector will consist of a direct connector
between the 241 Toll Road and 91 Express
Lanes, carrying northbound 241 Toll Road
traffic to the eastbound 91 Express Lanes
and westbound 91 Express Lanes traffic to
the southbound 241 Toll Road.
The purpose of the project is to implement
the build out of the Eastern Transportation
Corridor as approved in 1994 in order to
improve traffic operations on the northbound
241 Toll Road and the SR-91 general-
purpose lanes while also maintaining reliable
travel times and free flow speeds during
peak periods on the 91 Express Lanes which
were all key considerations in Caltrans’
approval of the project. The project will
require widening of SR-91 to accommodate
the direct connector and associated Express
Auxiliary Lanes in the median. The project’s
planned construction is aligned with the
implementation of other planned
improvements in the area including the
15/91 Express Lanes Connector and SR-
71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements.
Coordination will be conducted with local
agencies to ensure the project avoids
impacts to planned bicycle and trail
connections on Gypsum Canyon Road per
the City of Anaheim General Plan and OCTA
Commuter Bikeways Strategic Plan.
Key Considerations
The project will provide connectivity between the 91
Express Lanes and the 241 Toll Road, which will
enhance operations along the SR-91 general purpose
lanes while also improving traffic operations on the
northbound 241 Toll Road.
Benefits
Preliminary engineering concepts for a SR-
241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector have been
developed by the Foothill/Eastern Transportation
Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) and Caltrans, which
were utilized for the environmental analysis. The
91 Express Lanes Extension and SR-241
Connector Feasibility Study was completed in
March 2009 and was initiated to evaluate various
alternatives. A Project Study Report was initiated
in January 2011 and was completed in January
2012. The Draft Environmental Document was
circulated for public review from November 7,
2016, through January 9, 2017. Caltrans’s
approval of the project with the Record of Decision
was completed in March 2020. Final design is in
progress.
Current Status
Final Design is expected to be completed in 2023.
Construction is anticipated to last approximately 36
months beginning in 2024 with project opening in 2027.
These milestones are contingent upon approval of
interagency agreements and polices between the TCAs,
Caltrans, RCTC and OCTA on such matters as a Master
Four Party Agreement, Operational Agreement, HOV
policy, completion of a traffic and revenue study, and the
TCAs receiving approval from the California
Transportation Commission.The total cost of the project
will be approximately $380,000,000.

Elevated 4-Lane Facility from SR-241 to I-15 (MIS Corridor A)
Concept Description
The improvements primarily consist
of constructing a new 4-lane
elevated expressway near or within
the Santa Ana Canyon with
freeway-to-freeway connectors at
SR-241 and I-15. The facility may
include managed lanes and
potential reversible operations.
Choice of alignment will be key to
determining net capacity increase.
Extensive right-of-way (R/W) will
be required to implement the
improvements if the alignment is
not in the SR-91 corridor. When
median connector projects or
HOV/HOT projects are constructed
and this 4-lane elevated facility is
proposed within the median of SR-
91 through Corona, then extensive
managed lane closures would be
required during construction (thus
temporarily reducing SR-91
capacity during construction).
An alternative could be studied for
the median Corridor A viaduct
along with reduced SR-91
geometric standards to minimize
R/W impacts.
Key Considerations
The concept would provide significant congestion relief by allowing
vehicles to bypass the at-grade freeway lanes and local arterial
interchanges between SR-241 and I-15. Connections are proposed
directly between SR-91, SR-241, and I-15.
Benefits
Anticipated project completion is post-2035 and construction cost is
estimated to be $2,720,000,000 (2005 dollars).
Current Status
This concept is identified in the Riverside County - Orange County
Major Investment Study (MIS) as part of the Locally Preferred
Strategy to improve mobility between Riverside County and
Orange County. No project development work is planned at this
time.
Schedule and Cost
Also, direct connectors (such as for High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) / High Occupancy
Toll (HOT) at I-15/SR-91) to/from the median
could be precluded by Maglev columns located
within the same median area. Caltrans and
Maglev highway R/W, maintenance, safety,
and operations considerations would need to
be analyzed if shared use with a Maglev facility
were pursued. Additional mitigation costs may
be required for improvements to SR-241 and
SR-133 as a result of additional Corridor traffic
volumes. Corridor A as managed lanes, with
the extension of 91 Express Lanes to I-15, this
project concept may affect traffic distribution
due to “parallel” tolled facilities.
STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 38
Westbound SR-91 to Southbound SR-55 Connector Improvements
Concept Description
The project consists of operational
improvements by modifying the
connector to SB SR-55 from WB SR-91.
The improvements would extend to
Lakeview Avenue to the east and would
include a new connector from WB SR-91
to SB SR-55 as a potential right-hand
exit.
Right-of-way impacts, detailed SR-
55/SR-91 interchange improvements,
and downstream impacts to SR-55
require further evaluation in a subsequent
phase of project development.
Conceptual design of SR-55/SR-91
would be coordinated with completed
improvements at SR-91 and Tustin
Avenue, and with the SR-91
Environmental Study Improvements from
SR-57 to SR-55.
Operational enhancements between SR-
55 and Lakeview Avenue will provide
some benefit for SR-55/SR-91 by
addressing WB SR-91 weaving issues. In
addition, the proposed WB drop-ramp
from Lakeview Avenue has been
designed to accommodate three WB
through lanes on either side in order to
reduce throwaway costs in the future
should the SR-91 be shifted to
accommodate a right-hand exit for SB
SR-55.
Key Considerations
Interchange improvements are anticipated to provide congestion relief for WB SR-91 traffic and potentially
improve the connection from WB SR-91 to SB SR-55.
Benefits
Anticipated project completion is post-2035 and construction cost is estimated to be from $75,000,000 to
$150,000,000 (2014 dollars).
Current Status
SR-55/SR-91 project information was derived from the Final Alternatives Evaluation and Refinement Report,
December 2005, by the Riverside County - Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS). Focused SR-91/SR-55
conceptual engineering needs to be scheduled. However, initial conceptual engineering was also studied as part of
the SR-91 Feasibility Study Between State Route 57 and State Route 55 Interchange Areas in June 2009, and as
part of the SR-91 Environmental Study Improvements from SR-57 to SR-55.

STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 39
Eastbound Fifth Lane Addition at SR-241
Concept Description
The location of the proposed EB SR-91 fifth
general purpose (GP) lane addition (The
Segment) is on EB SR-91 from Weir Canyon
Road to the NB SR-241 Connector. The
Segment consists of four GP lanes and two
managed lanes (91 Express Lanes).
Upstream (westerly) from The Segment the
EB SR-91 has 5 GP lanes and the 5th lane
drops to the SB SR-241 Connector as some
traffic volume exits to the SB SR-241.
Downstream from The Segment the EB SR-
91 gains the 5th lane back as the NB SR-
241 Connector merges with SR-91 in a
dedicated lane addition. This 5th lane
continues beyond the Riverside County line
providing enhanced mobility.
This segment with four GP lanes might be
creating a traffic choke point due to the
decrease of capacity, potentially contributing
to significant traffic delays passing through
this segment along with other traffic issues
such as queue jumping, weaving, merging
and operational speed differential. However,
additional traffic from NB SR-241 to EB SR-
91 and Gypsum Canyon Rd on-ramp
suggest balancing the number of lanes
should be carefully examined. As such,
additional capacity will enhance EB freeway
operations along this Segment.
Key Considerations
Extends the existing 5th EB GP lane easterly and ties
it to the existing 5th lane downstream. This could
provide capacity enhancement and may result in
removing an existing choke point. Significant delay
savings is anticipated.
Potentially eliminate queue jumping in this area from
EB SR-91 as well as Weir Canyon Rd.
Potentially reduce speed differential between
through lanes, thus creating a more balanced flow.
Potentially provide balanced lane utilization at high
traffic demand area.
Benefits
Total project cost, based on Caltrans’ estimate, is
$31.25 million Project schedule has not been
determined.
Current Status
Additional traffic analysis and study is required
to confirm the benefits to EB SR-91 by the
proposed improvements. This location was
identified by Caltrans as a high congestion
location in the County. The concept is intended
to improve the choke point that exists due to
the presence of a 4-lane segment between 5-
lane freeway segments.
Schedule and Cost
STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 40
Fairmont Boulevard Improvements
Concept Description
The project would provide a new
interchange with SR-91 at Fairmont
Boulevard. On and off ramps will
connect Fairmont Boulevard from the
north to eastbound (EB) and
westbound (WB) SR-91. The proposed
interchange does not include a
vehicular Fairmont Boulevard
connection to Santa Ana Canyon Road
to the south. A pedestrian/bicycle
connection is also proposed between
La Palma Avenue and Santa Ana
Canyon Road. This bridge and pathway
will allow for direct Santa Ana River
Trail access from both Anaheim south
of SR-91 and from Yorba Linda.
Interchange spacing and weaving
issues (to SR-55) need to be evaluated.
Widening of SR-91 may be needed to
accommodate interchange ramps.
Proximity of the Santa Ana River may
require that the WB ramp junction be
located north of the river. New
connection requirements and
interchange spacing needs to be
considered. Ramp and bridge
placement needs to take
pedestrian/bicycle bridge into account
or incorporate the pedestrian/bike path
into the design beyond the vehicular
access limits of the project.
Key Considerations
The interchange is expected to relieve congestion at Imperial Highway (SR-90), Lakeview Avenue, and Weir Canyon
Road Interchanges. Preliminary traffic modeling shows a 10-15% decrease in volumes at Weir Canyon and SR-90
interchanges with the interchange alternative.
Benefits
Anticipated project completion is post 2035 and construction cost is estimated to be $76,800,000 (costs from 2009
Feasibility Study). R/W cost is undetermined. Cost excludes any potential impact to Santa Ana River.
Current Status
The City of Anaheim completed a conceptual engineering study in December 2009 for the interchange. Multiple
alternatives have been developed as part of the conceptual engineering study. Bicycle/pedestrian bridge is currently in
initial planning stages. Project development is pending funding identification. On July 24, 2017, OCTA staff along
with a senior staff member of WSP presented the findings of a 91 Express Lanes intermediate access study. The
study provided various alternatives, traffic modeling, and financial impacts of the additional access. At the conclusion
of the discussion, the OCTA Board of Directors did not authorize additional analysis for the intermediate access.
Schedule and Cost
The following exhibits represent completed
projects from previous Plans since 2006 and are
intended to be used as a reference to illustrate
the progress made since the inception of the

Green River Road Overcrossing Replacement
Project Description
Improvements primarily consist of replacing the existing Green River Road overcrossing with a new
six-lane wide, 4 span overcrossing to accommodate future widening of SR-91. The interior spans will
accommodate up to eight mainline lanes in each direction including two HOV lanes. The exterior spans
can accommodate two lanes, either for Auxiliary lanes or collector distributor roads. Entrance and exit
ramps will be realigned and widened to accommodate the new bridge, yet the interchange will retain
its current configuration. New Signals will be installed at the ramp intersections. Ramp and bridge
improvements will be constructed within the existing right of way.
The project began construction in March 2007 and
was completed in March 2009.
Current Status
The project will improve the level of service at ramp
and local street intersections at the interchange.
Improvements will reduce ramp queues that extend
into the freeway’s general-purpose lanes, thus
contributing to congestion relief on SR-91.
Benefits
Design interface is required with the Eastbound Lane Addition from SR-241 to SR-71. SR-71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements, SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project, and SR-241/SR-91 HOV/HOT Connector.

Eastbound Lane Addition from SR-241 to SR-71
Project Description
The project will provide an additional eastbound (EB) lane from the SR-91/SR-241
interchange to the SR-71/SR-91 interchange and will widen all EB lanes and shoulders to
standard widths.
Funding is from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) with $71.44M approved, and the balance of project
costs are from other sources. Construction began in late 2009
and was completed in September 2010.
Current Status
The lane addition would help alleviate the weaving condition
betweenSR-241 and SR-71, as well as remove vehicles from
the SR-91 mainline that would be exiting at Green River Road
and SR-71.
Benefits
Coordination with the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Projects will be required. Staged
construction would be required for all ramp reconstruction and freeway widening. Freeway
operations would most likely be affected by this project, however, freeway lane closures are
not anticipated. An EB concrete shoulder will be constructed with a 12-foot width to provide
for future widening.

North Main Street Corona Metrolink Station Parking Structure
Project Description
The project provides a six level parking structure with 1,065 parking stalls. The construction
is within the existing North Main Street Metrolink station property in Corona.
Construction was initiated in January 2008 and was
completed in June 2009. The Project was funded with Federal
Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds.
Current Status
Demand for parking currently exceeds the capacity at the
North Main Street Corona station. New parking capacity will
allow Metrolink ridership to increase thereby diverting vehicle
trips from SR-91.
Benefits
Proposed improvements were constructed within existing right of way. Currently there are
700 users of the facility, 200 more that were previously able to accommodate. Additionally
RCTC has opened up the lot to park and ride carpools and vanpools and has issued over
120 permits for carpoolers to use the expanded station. This shows an added benefit of
supporting carpooling as well as transit to offset congestion on SR-91.

SR-91 WB Lane at Tustin Avenue
Project Description
The project will add a westbound (WB) auxiliary lane on SR-91 beginning at
the northbound (NB) SR-55 to WB SR-91 connector through the Tustin
Avenue interchange. This project includes approximately 1.1 lane miles.
Preliminary engineering was completed and approved by Caltrans. The
environmental phases was completed in November 2010, and design was
completed mid-2013. Construction was initiated in February 2014. The
project received $14M from the proposition 1B State-Local Partnership
Program (SLPP), $14M from Measure M, with the balance from Regional
Improvement Program (RIP) funds. Contract acceptance and open to traffic
in May 2016.
Current Status
The project would reduce or eliminate operational problems and deficiencies
on this section of WB SR-91 including weaving and merging maneuvers.
This project would also address choke-point conditions, which are caused
primarily by extensive weaving between the NB SR-55 to WB SR-91
connector and the WB SR-91 off-ramp to Tustin Avenue.
Benefits
Build alternative 3 was selected from the Project Study Report (PSR). On
Westbound (WB) SR-91 Auxiliary Lane from the Northbound (NB) SR-55/WB
SR-91 Connector to the Tustin Avenue Interchange and requires additional
right-of-way. City of Anaheim utilities are within proximity of the proposed
widening section. Widening of the Santa Ana River Bridge is required.
Coordination with the City of Anaheim occurred for widening of Tustin Avenue
and the WB SR-91 Off-Ramp that was completed early 2011.

Metrolink Service Improvements
Project Description
There are sixteen daily trains that run on the IEOC Line and nine trains running on the Los
Angeles to Riverside portion of 91/Perris Valley (91/PV) Line for a total of 25 daily trains. The
Long-term service improvements will include 24 IEOC trains by 2030.
The Perris Valley portion of the 91 Line extends Metrolink service southeast by 25 miles, from
Riverside to Perris. The project is located within the right of way of the existing San Jacinto
Branch Line through Riverside, Moreno Valley and Perris. Construction began in October 2013.
Cost approximately $248 million, and the extension opened to the public in June 2016. The
inaugural schedule (December 2015) includes nine trains through to Los Angeles and 12
between Perris and Riverside.
Two additional IEOC Line roundtrips were added in late
2015, and in Mid-2016, nine trains began service on the
Perris Valley Extension to the 91/PV Line.
Current Status
Enables development of expanded Metrolink service,
improved efficiency, and fosters train ridership growth in
the region, which will contribute to congestion relief on
SR-91.
Benefits
Construction of the new Placentia Metrolink station will improve passenger access to the 91/PV
Line, by creating a station between Fullerton and Corona. Improvements at the Anaheim Canyon
station are designed to account for the future expansion of the IEOC rail service.

Initial Phase CIP: Widen SR-91 by one GP Lane In Each Direction East of Green River Road, CD Roads and I-15/SR-91 Direct South Connector, Extension of Express Lanes to I-15 and System / Local Interchange Improvements
Project Description
The approved Project Study Report (PSR) for the SR-91 Corridor Improvements Project (CIP),
from SR-241 to Pierce Street, includes the addition of a 5th general purpose lane in each
direction, the addition of auxiliary lanes at various locations, additional lanes at the SR-71/SR-91
interchange (Project #5), and collector-distributor (CD) lanes at the I-15/SR-91 interchange.
Subsequently, the Riverside County Transportation Commission’s (RCTC) 10 year Delivery Plan
recommended the following addition to the PSR recommended improvements: the extension of
the 91 Express Lanes from the Orange County line to I-15, the construction of SR-91 (EB/WB)/I-
15 (SB/NB) Express Lanes median direct connectors, and the construction of one Express Lane in
each direction from the I-15/SR-91 interchange southerly to I-15/Cajalco Road, and northerly to
I-15/ Hidden Valley Parkway. An Express Lane ingress/egress lane is also planned near the
county Line. Due to economic conditions, a Project Phasing Plan was developed to allow an Initial
Phase with reduced improvements to move forward as scheduled, with the remaining ultimate
improvements to be completed later. The following is a summary of the deferred ultimate
improvements: I-15/SR-91 median North Direct Connector, and I-15 Express Lanes to Hidden
Valley Parkway (Project #9): general purpose lanes to Express Lanes from I-15 to Pierce Street;
and general purpose lanes from SR-241 to SR-71. The I-15 Express Lanes to be extended from
Ontario Avenue to Cajalco Road are included in RCTC’s I-15 Express Lane Project with an
anticipated completion in 2020.
Coordination among many of the SR-91 freeway projects
that overlap the project limits is critical to successfully
delivering these projects on schedule and within budget.
Designing to accommodate future projects is a recurring
theme for each of these projects. Minimizing conflicts in
scope between projects requires direct coordination
between each project team. Additionally, future projects
frequently have multiple alternatives under study, each
with a differing scope and construction footprints.
Specifically, the project improvements need to continue to
be coordinated with the SR-71/SR-91 Interchange, the
SR-241/91 Express Connector, and RCTC’s I-15 Express
Lane Project.

Initial Phase CIP: Widen SR-91 by one GP Lane In Each Direction East of Green River Road, CD Roads and I-15/SR-91 Direct South Connector, Extension of Express Lanes to I-15 and System / Local Interchange Improvements
The environmental phase was completed in Fall 2012. A Design-Build
contractor was selected in May 2013 and construction activities began in
early 2014 for the Initial Phase. The project is anticipated to open to traffic in
Spring 2017 with final project acceptance anticipated at the end of 2017.
Current Status
The Initial Phase and Ultimate CIP projects will reduce congestion and
delays by providing additional SR-91 capacity from SR-241 to Pierce Street,
along I-15 from SR-91 to Cajalco Road to the south, and to Hidden Valley
Parkway to the North. Traffic operations will improve by eliminating or
reducing weaving conflicts along SR-91 and I-15 by the use of CD roads
and auxiliary lanes. The project will provide motorists a choice to use
Express Lanes for a fee in exchange for time savings.

Express Bus Service
Project Description
Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA), working with the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the
Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), operate
Express Bus service between Riverside and
Orange counties. Commuters lack direct
transit connections to some Orange County
employment centers not served by Metrolink.
The Express Bus service provides this
connection.
OCTA has operated Route 794 since 2006
from Riverside County to Hutton Centre and
South Coast Metro (shown in orange above).
On Route 794, OCTA removed trips to
Corona in February 2018 based on low
ridership. OCTA currently operates six
morning westbound trips and five afternoon
eastbound trips to/from the La Sierra
Metrolink Station. Two new Express Bus
routes were implemented by RTA in January
2018 between Riverside County and Orange
County including RTA Route 200 (shown in
blue above) from San Bernardino/Riverside
to the Anaheim Resort. The route provides
hourly service on weekdays and 90-120
minute service on weekends with a fleet of
six buses. RTA Route 205 (shown in green
above) from Lake Elsinore/Temecula/ Corona
to the Village at Orange includes three AM
and three PM roundtrips with 3 buses.
Existing Service
The Express Bus Routes have been fully
implemented as of FY19 and there are no
planned service additions. Changes to
routes may be made in the future based on
available funding and ridership demand.
New Service
Since completion of the 91 Express Lanes, RTA more than
doubled its Express Bus service on SR-91. Currently, OCTA
operates 11 bus trips per day on SR-91. RTA now operates
47 trips on weekdays (up from 18 trips that Route 216
provided weekdays) and 18 trips on weekends (up from 8
trips provided by Route 216) on SR-91 Express Lanes.
Service hours for this expansion is an extra 21,445 hours
per year and is being served by five new coaches added to
the RTA fleet.
Current Status
The Express Bus Routes have been fully implemented as
of FY19. Ongoing operating costs average $4,892,000
per year and capital costs average $1,174,000 per year
(2019 dollars). The annual capital cost was increased in
2019 to reflect the future cost of complying with the new
Innovative Clean Transit regulation.
Schedule and Cost
The Express Bus Routes have been fully
implemented as of FY19 and there are no
planned service additions. Changes to
routes may be made in the future based on
available funding and ridership demand.
Benefits
Intercounty Express Bus service is effective
between locations where transit travel times
by Express Bus would be more competitive
than Metrolink and connecting rail feeder
buses.
Key Considerations
STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 50
La Sierra Metrolink Parking Improvements
Project Description

parking lot expansion to include an additional 496 spaces and six bus
bays to accommodate RTA Express Lane Service 200 that originates at
Metrolink San Bernardino Transit Center with stops along Riverside
Downtown Metrolink Station, Metrolink La Sierra, the Village at
Orange, ARTIC, Disneyland, and Anaheim Convention Center, as well
as other potential bus routes for the future.
The 496 parking spaces will provide
for existing and future demand. The
parking lot expansion will provide
for ADA parking. RTA express
service, commuter rail, and vanpool.
Benefits
Construction was completed in February 2019.
The project cost is estimated to be $6,260,000.
Schedule and Cost
Construction and project implementation has
begun.

STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 51
SR-91 Corridor Operations Project
Project Description
The Riverside County portion
of the 91 Express Lanes began
operation in March 2017.
Throughout the first year of
operation, RCTC made minor
operational improvements to
improve the SR-91 corridor
travel between State Route
241 (SR-241) and McKinley
Street. In November 2018,
RCTC implemented additional
striping and signage
improvements to westbound
SR-91 at the McKinley
entrance to the 91 Express
Lanes as well as the County
Line access location to further
enhance efficiency along the
westbound SR-91 corridor
between McKinley Street and
SR-241. In December 2018,
the RCTC Commission
authorized its staff to proceed
with a project to construct an
additional westbound lane
along SR-91 between Green
River Road and SR-241 (the
subject of this project). This
new project is now known as
the SR-91 Corridor Operations
Project (91 COP).
This project is within the footprint of the SR-
91 Sixth GP Lane Addition project that was
an element of the SR-91 CIP environmental
document approved in 2012. An
environmental revalidation for the 91 COP
was completed in Spring 2020.
Construction began in November 2020.
Current Status
Construction is planned for completion in
2022. The total project cost is estimated to
be $38,000,000.
Schedule and Cost
The 91 COP will reduce congestion and delays along westbound SR-91
between McKinley Street and SR-241.
Benefits
The goal of this project is to implement a substantial operational
improvement that is cost effective and timely to address the peak period
bottleneck conditions along westbound SR-91 near the County Line. Key
considerations include reducing impacts to adjacent land and local
streets using retaining walls and minimizing throw-away costs with
future projects. Specifically, the project improvements need to be
coordinated with the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Connector and the
SR-91 Sixth GP Lane Addition projects.
Key Considerations
STATE ROUTE 91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2023 52
Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station Improvements
Project Description
The Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station Improvement Project will
include the addition of approximately 3,400 linear feet of secondary
track; a second platform; extending the existing platform;
improvements at two at-grade railroad crossings located at Tustin
and La Palma; as well as new shade structures, benches, and ticket
vending machines. These project improvements will accommodate
planned future train service and will enhance on time service and
safety.
The project will enable future
Metrolink service expansion,
improve train service efficiency, and
foster train ridership growth in the
region, which will contribute to
congestion relief on SR-91.
Benefits
The plans were completed, and the project was
advertised for bid in October 2020. Construction
began in May 2021 and is anticipated to be
completed in November 2022. The total project
cost is estimated to be $34.2 million.
