14. Committee Members' Reports
Member Shaw commented on Mr. Phipps retirement, stated that when he first
joined the OCTA Board, Mr. Phipps was the Finance Director and had been
in that position during the great recession, and obviously had a lot of
challenges there. Mr. Phipps likes to be in the background, been a great
Deputy CEO to OCTA’s CEO. Member Shaw wished Mr. Phipps the best in
retirement.
Vice Chairman Hernandez, thanked his colleagues for the vote of confidence
for the Vice Chairman election. In addition, stated that Mr. Phipps has been
a mystery, an enigma, so to speak, but now can see he is just a plain golf guy
who is very competitive.
Anne Mayer reported on RCTC updates as follows:
• The RCTC authorized the release of a draft traffic relie f plan to the
public for review and comments.
o Available for review at TrafficReliefPlan.org.
o In the first month for public review, over 2,500 completed
surveys were submitted, as well as over 5,000 comments.
o Conducting telephone townhalls, and outreach to the
communities.
o In June, RCTC Board will finalize the traffic relief plan and make
a determination whether or not to put a half cent sales tax
measure on the ballot of 2020.
• Next week’s RCTC Board meeting, the commission will consider
refinancing of the 91 Express Lanes debt:
o When RCTC built the $1.4 billion project, it had significant
amount of debt in both Measure A debt toll revenue bonds as
well as a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovative
Act (TIFIA) loan.
o Considering a $725 million refinancing of the debt which will
save the overall cost by reducing the term of the debt, able to
pay off the TIFIA loan, and would place the commission in
control of all surplus revenue along the corridor.
o The project has been generating traffic and revenues beyond
expectations and it provides an opportunity to refinance and put
some savings back into the corridor.
Vice Chairman Hernandez welcomed Ms. Ochoa on board who worked with
his son for an elected official.

Subject: 91 Express Lanes Status Reports
Overview
The 91 Express Lanes status reports for the months of January 2020 through
March 2020 have been prepared for State Route 91 Advisory Committee review.
The reports highlight operational and financial activities for both the Orange County
Transportation Authority and Riverside County Transportation Commission
segments of the 91 Express Lanes.
Recommendation
Receive and file the 91 Express Lanes Status Reports for the months of
January 2020 through March 2020.
Background
The joint monthly status reports are prepared to document 91 Express Lanes
activities and are provided for State Route 91 Advisory Committee review.
Discussion
For the months of January 2020 and February 2020, gross potential toll revenue
and traffic volume in the 91 Express Lanes for the both the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) segment and Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC) exceeded prior year’s performances. However, due to the
novel coronavirus pandemic and California Governor Gavin Newsom’s orders for
residents to self-quarantine and refrain from non-essential travel, traffic volume,
and gross potential toll revenue decreased as compared to the same period last
year for both segments in March 2020. As of the end of March 2020, the
2019-20 fiscal year-to-date traffic volume decreased by 2 percent while gross
potential toll revenue increased by 0.7 percent for the OCTA segment. For the
91 Express Lanes Status Reports Page 2
RCTC segment, a fiscal year-to-date comparison reflects a decrease in traffic
volume of 0.4 percent and an increase of 15.6 percent in gross potential toll
revenue.
Staff will continue to closely monitor traffic and revenue data and report back to
the State Route 91 Advisory Committee regularly.
Summary
The 91 Express Lanes status reports for the months of January 2020 through
March 2020 are provided for review. The report highlights operational and
financial activities.

OCTA OP ERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-road Operations
OCTA Customer Assistance Specialists (CAS) responded to 85 calls during the month of
January. Of those calls, 66 were to assist disabled vehicles and 16 calls to remove debris.
The CAS provided assistance to three accidents in the Express Lanes with one of those
accidents originated from the SR91 general-purpose lanes.
Electronic Toll and Traffic Management System Project Update
Kapsch TrafficCom USA, Inc., (Kapsch), the toll lanes system integrator for the 91
Express Lanes, completed the replacement of the Electronic Toll and Traffic Management
(ETTM) system at the current toll gantries. This new lane system is reading both the new
6C transponder protocol as well as the legacy Title 21 protocol. The next phase of the
project, which begins next calendar year, entails the replacement of the closed-circuit
television cameras along the corridor. New toll gantries will be constructed at the three
entrances of the OCTA 91 Express Lanes after which Kapsch will install new ETTM
equipment on the entrance gantries.
6C Transition Update
Changes to the back-office system to incorporate the new 6C transponder protocol is
underway. In January, the 91 Express Lanes continued to send letters to customers
notifying them of the transition to 6C, as well as changes to the account plans, user
agreement and privacy policy. In the upcoming weeks, distribution of the new welcome
kit and sticker transponders will commence. It is envisioned the distribution of the new
transponders to all the customers will take place over several months.

RCTC O P ERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-road Operations
RCTC Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) responded to 64 calls during the month of January.
Of those calls, 55 were to assist disabled vehicles, 2 calls to remove debris and 7 were
in response to accidents in the Express Lanes.
6C Transponder Technology
In January, the 91 Express Lanes continued to send letters to customers notifying them
of the transition to the new 6C protocol, as well as changes to the account plans, user
agreement and privacy policy. A new welcome kit, which includes mounting instructions,
has been designed and developed and will be sent with the new sticker transponders in
the upcoming weeks. It is envisioned the distribution of the new transponders to all the
customers will take place over several months.

OCTA OP ERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-road Operations
OCTA Customer Assistance Specialists (CAS) responded to 84 calls during the month of
February. Of those calls, 69 were to assist disabled vehicles and 9 calls to remove debris.
The CAS provided assistance to 6 accidents in the Express Lanes with 5 of those
accidents originated from the SR91 general-purpose lanes.
Electronic Toll and Traffic Management System Project Update
Kapsch TrafficCom USA, Inc., (Kapsch), the toll lanes system integrator for the 91
Express Lanes, completed the replacement of the Electronic Toll and Traffic Management
(ETTM) system at the current toll gantries. This new lane system is reading both the new
6C transponder protocol as well as the legacy Title 21 protocol. The next phase of the
project entails the replacement of the closed-circuit television cameras along the corridor.
New toll gantries will be constructed at the three entrances of the OCTA 91 Express Lanes
after which Kapsch will install new ETTM equipment on the entrance gantries.
6C Transition Update
In February, changes to the back-office system to incorporate the new 6C transponder
protocol were completed. During the month, the 91 Express Lanes continued to send
letters to customers notifying them of the transition to 6C, as well as changes to the
account plans, user agreement and privacy policy. Distribution of the new welcome kit
and sticker transponders commenced in February. It is envisioned the distribution of the
new transponders to all the customers will take place over several months.

OCTA OP ERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
On-road Operations
OCTA Customer Assistance Specialists (CAS) responded to 78 calls during the month of
March. Of those calls, 55 were to assist disabled vehicles and 13 calls to remove debris.
The CAS provided assistance to 10 accidents in the Express Lanes with 4 of those
accidents originated from the SR91 general-purpose lanes.
91 Express Lanes Toll Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project Update
OCTA will be contracting with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to
provide construction and construction management services for the 91 Express Lanes
Toll Entrance Gantries Infrastructure Project. This project entails constructing new toll
gantries infrastructures at the three entrances of the OCTA 91 Express Lanes.
Construction of the gantries is scheduled to begin Fall 2020 and is expected to be
completed in early 2021.
Electronic Toll and Traffic Management System Project Update
Kapsch TrafficCom USA, Inc., (Kapsch), the toll lanes system integrator for the 91
Express Lanes, completed the replacement of the Electronic Toll and Traffic Management
(ETTM) system at the current toll gantries. This new lane system is reading both the new
6C transponder protocol as well as the legacy Title 21 protocol. The next phase of the
project includes the replacement of the closed-circuit television cameras along the
corridor. The new toll gantries infrastructure, as mentioned above, will house the new
ETTM equipment. Once the gantries have been constructed, Kapsch will commence
installation.

June 5, 2020
To: State Route 91 Advisory Committee
From: Darrell E. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, OCTA
Anne Mayer, Executive Director, RCTC
Subject: Draft 2020 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 2020 State Route 91
Implementation Plan is provided.
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
Authority (RCTC) to annually prepare a plan for improvements along
State Route 91 (SR-91) between Interstate 15 (I-15) and State Route 57 (SR-57).
SB 1316 also enables the use of 91 Express Lanes excess toll revenues, when
available, for congestion relief projects or services along the SR-91 corridor
between SR-57 and the Orange/Riverside County line for OCTA, and between the
Orange/Riverside County line and I-15 for RCTC.
The Draft SR-91 Implementation Plan (Plan) serves as a snapshot of current and
planned activities within the SR-91 corridor. The Plan describes projects and
transportation benefits and anticipated costs through the post-2035 timeframe.
Draft 2020 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 2
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.
Discussion
Since 2003, significant progress has been made in improving the SR-91 corridor.
Nearly $2 billion has been invested in the completion of eight projects, including
the addition of 66.5 lane miles throughout the SR-91 corridor. Average daily traffic
throughput has also increased by 15 percent. This indicates that 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; and
• La Sierra Metrolink parking improvements.
OCTA and RCTC have adopted similar goals for the 91 Express Lanes to continue
to maintain a safe, reliable, and predictable travel time for motorists traversing
seamlessly 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.
Draft 2020 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 3
Information for projects in the Plan is updated annually . This ensures that the
planning and implementation of each project is carefully coordinated to determine
the appropriate timing to provide maximum benefits to the SR-91 corridor.
Additionally, projects on the corridor should be coordinated to minimize
construction impacts to commuters and the surrounding communities. Going
forward, operational analysis by OCTA and RCTC will need to be prepared for each
project prior to implementation to ensure that the projects meet the OCTA and
RCTC goals for the SR-91 corridor.
In October 2019, a consensus was reached that set the stage for a series of
projects included in the Plan to be implemented in sequential order to improve the
SR-91 corridor. OCTA, RCTC, TCA, Caltrans District 8 and District 12, as well as
Caltrans Headquarters, worked through five issues related to project sequencing.
This framework will enable the streamlining of the implementation of the
SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector Project while minimizing impacts
to the SR-91 corridor. The subject matter of the multi-agency consensus is outlined
below:
• Setting priorities for SR-91 corridor projects to reduce construction-related
impacts;
• Allowing completion of the environmental approval process and updating
related programming documents;
• Clarifying lead agencies for final design, construction, and maintenance;
• Identifying the principal funding agency for final design, construction, and
maintenance; and
• Designating lead agencies for retaining toll revenue and toll
setting/operational control.
Based on the above framework, the agencies reached consensus on a program of
projects and sequencing as outlined below:
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 Lanes Connector
*Note: SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector is not dependent upon
completion of SR-71/SR-91 interchange improvements.
The 2020 Plan projects (Attachment A) are organized as follows: Orange County
projects, Riverside County projects, and bi-county projects.
• The Orange County set of projects includes four improvements at a total
cost of approximately $600 million.
o SR-91 improvements between SR-57 and SR-55;
Draft 2020 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 4
o Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station improvements;
o Placentia Metrolink Rail Station; and
o Fairmont Boulevard improvements.
• The Riverside County set of projects includes three improvements , totaling
nearly $390 million:
o I-15/SR-91 Express Lanes Connector;
o SR-71/SR-91 interchange; and
o Improvements east of I-15.
• Bi-county projects, which benefit both Orange and Riverside counties
totaling over $230 million include:
o Express Bus service improvements;
o SR-91 Corridor Operations Project;
o Sixth general-purpose lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71; and
o SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector.
For the 2020 Plan, traffic analysis for the capacity-enhancing projects was performed
and traffic data was calibrated to reflect pre-novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
traffic patterns. The operations analysis quantified travel time savings for
westbound (WB) morning and eastbound (EB) afternoon conditions for the
capacity-enhancing projects in 2030 and beyond. The WB morning traffic analysis
results indicate that for the year 2030 forecasts, travel times are anticipated to
improve in Riverside County (by about six minutes), and in Orange County
(by about 11 minutes). The EB afternoon traffic analysis indicates that for the
year 2030 forecasts, travel times in Riverside County are anticipated to improve
(by about seven minutes), and increase (by about 11 minutes) in Orange County.
Traffic assumptions for 2030 and beyond will be revisited for the 2021 Plan given
changing travel patterns due to COVID-19 and related economic impacts.
The improvements included in Appendix A of the Plan are highly conceptual in
nature. Some of the concepts are derived from the Riverside-Orange County Major
Investment Study (MIS). Appendix A includes an elevated four-lane facility between
SR-241 and I-15 (MIS Corridor A), Anaheim to Ontario International Airport
high-speed ground transportation system, the Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE)
from SR-241/State Route 133 to I-15/Cajalco Road, connector improvements at
the SR-91/SR-55 interchange, and an eastbound fifth lane addition near SR-241.
The projected cost of the conceptual improvements exceeds $14 billion, and the
implementation would require a significant amount of planning, design, external
funding, and future policy and public input.
Draft 2020 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 5
Staff continues to monitor the financial viability of the ICE concept as requested by
the SR-91 Advisory Committee and the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority in
2010. The ICE has not moved beyond the conceptual phase due to the current
economic climate, lack of state and federal transportation funding, and the high
construction cost. Although some tunneling projects have been completed in the
State of California with similar lane configurations as the ICE concept, until more
state and federal funding is available, this project will be a major challenge t o
complete.
Summary
OCTA and RCTC have completed the 2020 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 2020 Plan projects have been updated and are
organized by county jurisdiction.
Although current traffic levels in the corridor are down significantly, the longer-term
travel demand implications are unknown. The Plan serves as a compilation of
future potential projects and project level decisions that can be made when
individual projects are being considered for implementation. Further, broader
COVID-19-related implications can be addressed in next year's Plan once there is
a better assessment of the long-term impacts of the pandemic.

2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1
SECTION 1: 2020 Status Report and Update
INTRODUCTION
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 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.
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 continue 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 2020 Plan fulfills the requirement to provide the State
Legislature with an annual Implementation Plan for SR-91
improvements and builds on the 2019 Plan. This year’s
update includes concepts that were identified in the 2006
Riverside County – Orange County Major Investment
Study (MIS) as well as other project development efforts,
including the RCTC 10-Year Western County Highway
Delivery Plan that outlines a number of projects such as
the extension of the 91 Express Lanes from the
Orange/Riverside County line to I-15. The projects
included in the 2020 Plan have been infused with various
sources of local, state, and federal funding. The 2020
Plan includes overviews, status summaries, and proposed
costs and schedules for project packages 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
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2
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.
91 EXPRESS LANES TOLL POLICY
GOALS
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 below take into
consideration the 91 Express Lanes as well as the SR-91
corridor at large. These guiding principles include:
• optimizing vehicle throughput at free flow speeds;
• increasing average vehicle occupancy;
• balancing capacity and demand to serve
customers who pay tolls as well as carpoolers
(3+) who are offered discounted tolls;
• paying debt service and maintaining debt service
coverage;
• generating sufficient revenue to sustain the
financial viability of the 91 Express Lanes; and
• when appropriate, reinvesting net revenues on
the SR-91 corridor to improve regional mobility.
PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Much progress has been made since the initial 2003
SR-91 Implementation Plan was approved. The 2020
Plan includes select completed project exhibits as a
historical reference, (see Appendix B).
Completed Construction/Improvement Projects
The following improvements have been constructed or
implemented:
❖ 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.
❖ Green River Road overcrossing replacement (see
Appendix B).
❖ Metrolink parking structure at the North Main Street
Corona Metrolink Station (see Appendix B).
❖ EB SR-91 lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71 (see
Appendix B).
❖ Additional SR-91 WB and EB travel lane between
SR-55 and SR-241 (see Appendix B).
❖ SR-91 WB bypass lane to Tustin Avenue at SR-55
(see Appendix B).
❖ Metrolink Service Improvements (see Appendix B).
❖ Initial SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (CIP) (see
Appendix B).
❖ La Sierra Metrolink Parking Improvements (see
Appendix B)
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
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 3
interchange improvements. The new lanes and other
improvements save time, 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 was causing
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 billion U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps) Santa Ana River Mainstem
improvement project that provides flood protection from
the recently improved Prado Dam (near SR-71) to the
Pacific Ocean. The construction includes several phases
that have been completed (Phase 1, 2A, 2B, 3) and
ongoing (Phase 4, 5A, 5B, and BNSF Bridge Protection).
The improvements include sheet pile and grouted stone
bank protection, and bridge pier protection.
The other project with a direct impact to SR-91 is the $120
million Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI) sewer trunk
line relocation. The existing SARI line is within the Santa
Ana River floodplain and was in jeopardy of failure due to
scour from the potential increased flood r eleases by the
aforementioned Corps project. This project was
completed in 2014.
SR-91 project teams have coordinated with the Corps,
Orange County Flood Control District, Caltrans, and other
federal, regional, and local agencies in order to
accommodate planned SR-91 improvements adjacent to
the Santa Ana River.

SR-91 CORRIDOR CONDITIONS
Project Limits
The project study limits encompass the segment of SR-91
from west of the junction of SR-57 and SR-91 in the City
of Anaheim in Orange County, to east of the junction of
SR-91 and I-15 in the City of Corona in Riverside County.
The freeway segment is approximately 20.3 miles long
and includes 12.7 miles within Orange County and 7.6
miles within Riverside County.
Existing Traffic Conditions Summary
A review of traffic conditions in the Corridor indicates that
the existing capacity of the facility is inadequate to
accommodate current and future peak demand volumes.
Level of Service (LOS) F prevails in the peak direction
during the entire 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
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 4
indicate that there are several physical conditions that
contribute to unacceptable traffic queues.
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 congested between the peak period of 6 a.m. to
10 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.
❖ Traffic entering the WB SR-91 from the Green River
Road and SR-71 on-ramps contribute to mainline
congestion during the AM 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.The existing two-lane connector from WB SR-91 to
SB SR-55 traffic volume exceeds operational capacity
causing a queue on the SR-91 mainline.
❖ A lane drop on EB SR-91 at SB SR-241 creates a
chokepoint.
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 Lanes Connector project while minimizing
impacts to the 91 corridor. The subject matter of the multi-
agency consensus is outlined below:
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 5
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, t he agencies reached
consensus on a 91 Corridor program of projects and
sequencing as outlined below:
❖ 15/91 Express Lanes Connector
❖ SR-91 Corridor Operations Project
❖ SR-71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements*
❖ SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector
*Note: SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector is
not dependent upon completion of SR-71/SR-91
Interchange Improvements

Traffic Analysis
For the 2020 Plan, the traffic analysis for major SR-91
capacity projects used the Caliper TransModeler software
model and traffic data calibrated to reflect traffic patterns.
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 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 and are fed by SR-91 in the
study area. The operations analysis quantified travel time
savings for WB morning and EB afternoon conditions for
the following major capacity enhancing projects:
Year 2030
❖ SR-91 Improvements between SR-57 and
SR-55.
❖ 15/91 Express Lanes Connector.
❖ SR-71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements.
❖ SR-91 Corridor Operations Project
❖ SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes
Connector.
Year 2045
❖ Projects completed in 2030
❖ SR-91 Improvements East of I-15.
❖ SR-91 Sixth General Purpose Lane Addition
❖ Fairmont Boulevard Improvements
Westbound Analysis
The WB morning (a.m.) traffic analysis results indicate that
for the year 2030 forecasts, travel times are anticipated to
improve in Riverside County (by about 6 minutes) and in
Orange County (by about 11 minutes). In addition to
decreasing travel time overall vehicle hours of delay in the
corridor has decreased (by about 20 percent), while the
entire system is serving more vehicles (by about 9
percent). Bottlenecks are anticipated at the Orange-
Riverside County line and at the SR-241
interchange/Gypsum Canyon interchange area. The main
bottlenecks in Riverside County will be reduced due to the
completion of proposed projects. The bottleneck at the
SR-55 interchange has been decreased. However, with
the additional vehicles traveling downstream, there is
additional congestion at the SR-57 interchange. For the
year 2045, travel times in Riverside County are anticipated
to decrease (by about 16 minutes), and increase (by about
23 minutes) in Orange County when compared to 2030.
Overall vehicle hours of delay has increased (by about 68
percent) in the corridor, but the number of vehicles the
system is serving has increased (by about 6 percent).
Bottlenecks appear at SR-71 and at SR-57. Due to the
SR-71 Corridor Improvement Project, there is a large
increase of vehicles going to and from SR-71. Travel time
in Orange County shows an increase in 2045 due to the
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 7
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 operations in the westbound direction are
consistent in all the analysis years and operate
satisfactorily.
Eastbound Analysis
The EB evening (p.m.) peak hour traffic analysis indicates
that for the year 2030 forecasts, travel times in Riverside
County are anticipated to decrease (by about 7 minutes),
and increase (by about 11 minutes) in Orange County.
Although the overall travel time through the corridor has
increased slightly, the vehicle hours of delay has
decreased (by about 25 percent) and the number of
vehicles served by the system has increased (by about 12
percent). The major bottleneck still occurs at the county
line. Improvement projects near SR-55 and I-15 alleviate
congestion in those areas. For the year 2045, travel times
in Riverside County are anticipated to increase (by about
4 minutes) and decrease in Orange County (by about 18
minutes) when compared to 2030. Overall vehicle hours of
delay increased (by about 40 percent) but the number of
vehicles the system is serving has increased (by about 8
percent). The main bottleneck remains at the county line.
However, with the inclusion of the Sixth General Purpose
Lane Addition project, the congestion at the county line is
reduced. More vehicles traveling downstream slightly
increases congestion in Riverside County near I-15.
Express Lanes operations in the eastbound direction are
consistent in all the analysis years and operate
satisfactorily.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 below summarize the westbound
corridor vehicle hours of delay and systemwide served
vehicles, respectively. Figures 1-3 and 1-4 below
summarize the eastbound corridor vehicle hours of delay
and systemwide served vehicles, respectively.

CONCEPT PROJECT SUMMARY
Many of the highway concept projects identified in this
2020 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.
ICE STATUS SUMMARY
The ICE concept was conceived as part of the MIS and
was established as part of a suite of projects to support
future peak demand volumes between Riverside and
Orange Counties. The ICE was further evaluated in the
2009 ICE Feasibility Study for financial and geotechnical
feasibility. Seven (7) primary feasibility issues were
considered:
❖ Geologic, hydrogeologic/hydrologic, and
geotechnical conditions.
❖ Corridor concepts (full tunnel and partial
tunnel/partial surface road).
❖ Tunnel configuration.
❖ Tunnel excavation and support methods.
❖ Tunnel systems (e.g. ventilation, emergency fire
system, operation building, toll system, etc.).
❖ Construction considerations.
❖ Construction, Operation & Maintenance (O&M)
costs.
Per the direction of the Riverside-Orange Corridor
Authority Board (ROCA) in 2010, staff has reevaluated the
concept annually, as part of the preparation of this Plan, to
determine if construction costs and tunneling technology
have changed and become less prohibitive.
The National Forest Service has continued monitoring of
the ground water level along the preliminary alignment of
the tunnel and has not found any significant changes
since 2010. A review of recent tunneling projects show
that tunnels with similar challenges to those identified in
the ICE Feasibility Study have been constructed. Two
shorter tunnels were constructed in California with similar
lane configurations. The Devil’s Slide Tunnel in San Mateo
County and the Caldecott Fourth Bore Tunnel in Contra
Costa County both opened in 2013. These tunnels used a
method of drilling and blasting (known as the New
Austrian Tunneling Method), rather than operating a
tunnel boring machine (TBM). Both tunnels were
approximately 1.2 miles long and took six years and three
years to construct, respectively.
Based on recent tunnel projects, the challenges that were
identified in the ICE Feasibility Study were also
experienced by other tunnel construction projects which
provides insight into how tunneling technologies have
changed. The New Austrian Tunneling Method may be a
way to reduce the cost of boring for the ICE tunnel. This
method was discussed in the 2009 ICE Feasibility Study
but was dismissed due to the proposed length of the ICE
tunnel concept. In the future, more investigation would be
required to assess the feasibility of using a boring method
other than a TBM, and to qualitatively assess possible
impacts to the ICE corridor construction cost and duration.
There is currently a research and development project in
Hawthorn, California utilizing TBM on a 14-foot diameter,
1.14-mile-long tunnel. While this project is much shorter in
length and diameter than the ICE concept, it demonstrates
that there is tunneling technology incubating locally.
An assessment of current economic conditions, lack of
state and federal transportation funding; and the high
construction cost continue to hinder the ability of OCTA
and RCTC to implement this concept.
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 11
SECTION 2: Implementation Plan
OVERVIEW
The 2020 Plan describes projects, key considerations,
benefits, current status, schedule, and costs (in 2020
dollars, or as noted) for major projects and concepts
through Post-2035. Some of the projects and concepts
identified in this Implementation Plan are based on the
MIS that was completed in January 2006. The projects
are grouped as follows: Orange County Projects,
Riverside County Projects and Bi-County Projects.
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 follows:
❖ Conceptual Engineering = Pre-Project Study
Report (Pre-PSR) – Conceptual planning and
engineering for project scoping and feasibility prior to
initiating the PSR phase.
❖ Preliminary Engineering = Project Study Report
(PSR) – Conceptual planning and engineering phase
that allows for programming of funds.
❖ Environmental = Project Approval/Environmental
Document (PA/ED) – The detailed concept design
that provides environmental clearance for the project
and programs for final design and right of way
acquisition. The duration for this phase is typically
2-3 years.
❖ Design = Plans, Specifications and Estimates
(PS&E) – Provide detailed design to contractors for
construction bidding and implementation.
❖ Construction = The project has completed
construction and will provide congestion relief to
motorists.

Orange County Projects
The Orange County set of projects include four improvements at a total cost of approximately $600 million (in 2020 dollars, or
as noted). The projects include: SR-91 improvements between SR-57 and SR-55, Anaheim Canyon Metrolink station
improvements, new Placentia Metrolink rail station, and Fairmont Boulevard Improvements. Further details for each of the
projects are included in the following summaries.

SUBTOTAL 601
SR-91 Improvements between SR-57 and SR-55
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 13
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 splitting the WB SR-91 Connector into separate exits for NB
and SB SR-57 and extending an additional lane on WB SR -91 from the
NB SR-57 to WB SR -91 connector through State College B oulevard
and terminating at the auxiliary lane to Raymond Av enue-East Street.
At the SR-91/SR-55 interchange area, a dr op on-ramp from Lakeview
Avenue would be constructed between realigned WB SR -91 lanes for
direct access to SB SR-55, all owing for the exit to SB SR-55 to be
moved further east, with a barrier separat ing WB SR-91 and SB SR-55
traffic west of the Lakeview Av enue 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 repl aced. The improvements have been
developed in cooperation with local juris dictions and affected
communities.
Key Considerations
The proposed project improvements on WB and EB SR-91 may require
minor 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.
Benefits
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 interc hange
improvements. Project improvements will reduce congestion and delay
and reduce weaving.
Current Status
The project improvements were originally studied in the SR-91
Feasibility Study, which was completed in June 2009. The Project
Study Report was com pleted in 2014 and the Project
Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) phase began in early 2015
and is anticipated to be completed in mid-2020. The proposed
improvements are included in the Measure M program.
Schedule and Cost
Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2027 and the total project
cost is estimated to be approximately $460,000,000.
Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station Improvements
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 14
Project Description
The improvement project will at the Anaheim C anyon Metrolink Station
will add improvements which will allow for futur e capacity for Metrolink
commuter rail service along the Inland Empire-Orange County Line.
The proj ect will construct approximately 3,400 linear feet of second
track, a new 680-foot second platform, extend the existing platform,
improve the at-grade crossi ngs, and upgrade the parking lot to comply
with federal regulations.
Benefits
The project will enable future Metrolink service expansion, improve train
service efficiency, and foster trai n ridership growth in the region, which
will contribute to congestion relief on SR-91.
Current Status
OCTA is the lead agency on the project. Funding f or the project is
programmed to use Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program (CMAQ), 5307 Federal Formula, M2 (OC Go),
and City of Anaheim funds.
Schedule and Cost
The plans are anticipated to be complete, approved by all agencies and
ready to bid in March 2020. Construction is anticipated to begin in July
2022 and completed in October 2024. The total project cost is
estimated to be $29.8 million.
Placentia Metrolink Rail Station
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 15
Project Description
The new Placentia Metrolink Stat ion will serve the Metrolink 91/Perris
Valley Line, providing commuter rail service between Perris and Los
Angeles, via Riverside and Orange co unties. The project includes
construction of a parking structure, OCTA bus access, an area for
passenger pick-up and drop-off, and two station platforms.
Benefits
The station will meet the current t ransit demand and foster train
ridership growth in the region, contributing to congestion relief on SR-
91.
Current Status
The City of Placentia is the lead on right -of-way and environmental
clearance, and OCTA is the lead agency for design and constructio n of
the project. Funding for the project is programmed t o 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 S ervice
Enhancement Account (PTMISEA), OC Go and City funds are
programmed for the design and right-of-way costs.
Schedule and Cost
Plans are 100 percent complete, how ever, the construction contract
cannot be advertised until a Construction and Maintena nce Agreement
is in place with BNSF Railway, the right-of-way owner. Construction is
anticipated to be completed in June 2021. The total project cost is
estimated to be $34.8 million.
Fairmont Boulevard Improvements
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 16
Project Description
The project w ould provide a new interchange with SR -91 at Fairmont
Boulevard. On and off ramps will connect Fairmont Boul evard 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
all ow for direct Santa Ana River Trail access from both Anaheim
south of SR-91 and from Yorba Linda.
Key Considerations
Interchange spacing and weaving issues (to SR -55) need to be
evaluated. Widening of SR-91 may be needed to accommodate
interchange ramps. Proxi mity 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 consider ed.
Ramp and bridge placement needs to take pedestrian/bicycle bridge
into account, or incorporate the pedestrian/bike path into the design
beyond the vehicular acces s limits of the project.
Benefits
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.
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 st udy. The study
provided various alternativ es, 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
Anticipated project completion is 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.
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 17
Riverside County Projects
The Riverside County set of projects includes three improvements: a 15/91 Express Lanes Connector, the SR-71/SR-91
Interchange Improvements, and SR-91 Improvements east of I-15. Projects for implementation in Riverside County are
anticipated to cost in excess of $387 million (in 2020 dollars, or as noted).

15/91 Express Lanes Connector
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 18
Project Description
The Pr oject Approval and Environmental Document (PA/ED) for the
SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (CI P), from SR-241 to Pierce
Street, included the addition of a 5th lane in e ach direction, the addition
of auxiliary lanes at various locations, the additio n 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
interc hange southerly to I -15/Cajalco Road (now part of RCTC I -15
Express Lanes Project), and easterly to east of McKinley Street. Due to
funding constraints, a Project Phasing Plan w as developed to allow an
Initial Phase, with reduced improvements, to move forw ard as
scheduled, with the remaining ultimate improvements to be completed
later. Subsequently, the proposed 15/91 Express Lanes Connector
improvements (the subject of this proj ect) have been pulled out from the
CIP as a standalone project.
Key Consi derations
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 requir es direct coordi nation between each
project team. Additionally, future pr ojects 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 Lanes Connector, and RCTC’s I-15 Express Lanes
Project.
Benefits
The 15/91 Express Lanes Connector project will reduce congestion and
operational delays by providing direct median-to-median access
betw een 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 th e 15/91
Express Lanes Connector for a fee in exchange for time savings.
Current Status
The 15/91 Express Lanes Connector is currently discussed in the
environmental document for the SR-91 CIP that was completed in
2012. An environmental revalidation was c ompleted in 2019. A Design-
Build contract was awarded in Spring 2020.
Schedule and Cost
The total project cost is estimated to be $270,000,000.
SR-71/SR-91 Interchange Improvements
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 19
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.
Key Consi derations
Project improvements must be coordinated with the following projects:
the SR-91 Sixth GP Lane A ddition and the SR-241/SR -91 Tolled
Express Lanes Connector. Close coordination with the U.S. A rmy
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser vice, and California
Department of Fish and Wildlife will also be required as the conn ector
crosses the Santa Ana River west of the Prado Dam.
Benefits
The project will provide a new direct connector improvement from EB
SR-91 to NB SR-71, replacing t he 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.
Current Status
The environmental phase was completed in 2011 and final design in
2015. An environmental revalidation and update to the final design is
underway.
Schedule and Cost
Construction is planned for completion in 2024 pending fundi ng
availability. Construction cost is estimated to be $117,000,000.
Improvements East of I-15
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 20
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 i n 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 (now 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.
Key Considerations
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 Lanes
Connector, 15/91 Express Lanes Connector, and RCTC’s I-15
Express Lanes Project.
Benefits
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.
Current Status
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.
Schedule and Cost
Anticipated project completion and cost are to be determined.
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 21
Bi-County Projects
There are four Bi-County improvement projects that will benefit both Orange and Riverside Counties. These projects include:
Express Bus service improvements, SR-91 Corridor Operations Project, a Sixth General Purpose Lane Addition (SR-241 to
SR-71), and the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector. The total cost for the four projects is expected to be more
than $233 million (in 2020 dollars, or as noted).

Express Bus Service Improvements
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 22
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.
Existing Service
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.
New Service
The Express Bus Routes have been fully implement ed 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.
Key Considerations
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.
Benefits
Express Bus services contribute to congestion relief on SR-91.
Current Status
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.
Schedule and Cost
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.
SR-91 Corridor Operations Project
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 23
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 im provements 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).
Key Considerations
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 by
the use of 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
Lanes Connector and the SR-91 Sixth GP Lane Addition
projects.
Benefits
The 91 COP will reduce congestion and delays along
westbound SR-91 between McKinley Street and SR-241.
Current Status
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.
Final design is also proceeding with project advertisement and
contract award anticipated in 2020.
Schedule and Cost
Construction is planned for completion in 2021/2022. The total
project cost is estimated to be $44,000,000.
Sixth General Purpose Lane Addition (SR-241 to SR-71)
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 24
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 (now 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 sixth general
purpose lane in each direction between SR-241 and SR-71
(the subject of this project) is a component of the SR-91 CIP
that was not constructed with the Initial Phase.
Key Considerations
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 91 COP, SR-
71/SR-91 interchange and the SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express
Lanes Connector.
Benefits
The SR-91 Sixth General Purpose Lane Addition will reduce
congestion and delays by providing additional SR-91 capacity
from SR-241 to SR-71.
Current Status
Preliminary engineering is complete but may need to be
revisited at a future date. The SR-91 Sixth General Purpose
Lane Addition is currently discussed in the SR-91 CIP
environmental document for the SR-91 that was completed in
2012.
Schedule and Cost
Anticipated project completion and cost are to be determined
SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 25
Project Description
The SR-241/SR-91 Tolled Express Lanes Connector would
construct a direct connector between SR-241 and the 91
Express Lanes, carrying northbound (NB) SR-241 traffic to
eastbound (EB) 91 Express Lanes and westbound (WB) 91
Express Lanes traffic to southbound (SB) SR-241.
Key Considerations
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 northbound SR-241 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 this 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, SR-91 Corridor
Operations Project, 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.
Benefits
The project will provide connectivity between the 91 Express
Lanes and the SR 241 Toll Road, which will enhance
operations along the SR-91 general purpose lanes while also
improving traffic operations on northbound SR-241.
Current Status
Preliminary engineering concepts for a SR-241/SR-91 Tolled
Express Lanes Connector have been developed by the
Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) 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 the 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. The Final Environmental Document has been
signed by Caltrans and circulated for public review. Caltrans
approval of the project with the Record of Decision was
completed in April 2020.
Schedule and Cost
Agreements to document roles and responsibilities for funding,
delivery and operation of the project are under development by
the multi-agency team. Final Design is expected to be
completed in 2022. Construction is anticipated to last
approximately 26 months beginning in 2023 wit h project
opening in 2025. The total cost of the Project would be
approximately $183 million.
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 26
Appendix A - Post-2035 and Conceptual Projects
Concepts for potential Post-2035 implementation (potentially earlier if funding becomes available) focus on longer-lead time
projects. This multi-billion dollar program may include: an elevated 4-lane facility (MIS Corridor A) from SR-241 to I-15; the
Anaheim to Ontario International Airport Maglev High Speed Rail; the Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE) 4-lane facility from
SR-241/SR-133 to I-15/Cajalco Road (formerly known as MIS Corridor B), Westbound SR-91 to Southbound SR-55
Connector Improvements, and Eastbound SR-91 Fifth Lane Addition at SR-241. These potential concepts include significant
environmental constraints and right of way requirements in addition to requiring a significant amount of planning, design, and
future policy and public input.
Concept Summary Cost ($M)
Elevated 4-Lane Facility (MIS Corridor A) from SR-241 to I-15 2,720
Anaheim to Ontario International Airport Maglev High Speed Rail 2,770-3,200
Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE) 4-Lane Facility from SR-241/SR-133 to I-15/Cajalco Road 8,855

Eastbound SR-91 Fifth Lane Addition at SR-241 31
SUBTOTAL 14,451 – 14,956
Elevated 4-Lane Facility from SR-241 to I-15 (MIS Corridor A)
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 27
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.
Key Considerations
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 project s
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. 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.
Benefits
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.
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
Anticipated project completion is post-2035 and construction cost
is estimated to be $2,720,000,000 (2005 dollars).
Anaheim to Ontario International Airport Maglev High Speed Rail
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 28
Concept Description
Proposals for a new super-speed train corridor from Anaheim to
Ontario are included in this concept. This concept includes an
alternative that would use SR-91 right-of-way or would be aligned
adjacent to SR-91 right-of-way or could potentially be co-located
with the Major Investment Study (MIS) Corridor A alignment.
Another alignment opportunity is being investigated along SR-57.
Key Considerations
Alternative alignment impacts to SR-91 right-of-way envelope
and/or Santa Ana River are undetermined. The choice of
alignment will potentially impact MIS Corridor A. Right-of-way
(R/W) will be required to implement the improvements. Potential
considerations for co-locating the Magnetic Levitation (Maglev)
train adjacent to Corridor A (and also SR-91) include providing a
two-column structure with a barrier between the trains and
vehicles. 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. See the MIS
Corridor A project for additional considerations. Coordination with
Metrolink improvements will be required.
Benefits
The concept would provide congestion relief by providing a direct
high-speed/high-capacity connection with Ontario International
Airport for Orange County air passengers and business next-day
deliveries. Maglev will make the trip in just 14.5 minutes. Relieves
congestion on SR-91 by providing additional capacity in the
corridor.
Current Status
Since 2012, no progress on this project has occurred. Preliminary
design, engineering and Phases 1 and 2 of a Preliminary
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact
Statement (PEIS/EIS) are completed. Congress approved $45M
in SAFETEA-LU for the environmental phase of the project.
Construction funding of up to $7 billion was identified through a
loan commitment from the China Export-Import Bank.
Schedule and Cost
Anticipated project completion is to be determined and
construction cost is estimated to be from $2,770,000,000 to
$3,200,000,000 (2012 dollars).
Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE) from SR-241/SR-133 to I-15
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 29
Concept Description
The improvements primarily consist of constructing a highway
and rail facility through the Cleveland National Forest with
freeway-to-freeway connectors at SR-241/SR-133 and I-
15/Cajalco Road. The facility would essentially be a continuation
of SR-133 on the west end of the corridor, to I-15 on the east
end.
Key Considerations
The tunnel concept is technically feasible based on the
geotechnical investigation completed in December 2009. The
initial project phase would be the const ruction of one 2-lane
highway tunnel and one rail tunnel. The second project phase
would include construction of a second 2-lane highway tunnel.
Additional technical studies and geotechnical borings would be
needed to refine the tunnel alignments and grades. Costs
associated with the Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE) tunnels are
based on the Feasibility Evaluation Report completed in
December 2009. A financial analysis will be needed for the
construction, operations and toll requirements of the ICE tunnels.
Benefits
The concept would provide significant congestion relief by
providing an alternative route between Orange and Riverside
counties and would allow vehicles to bypass SR-91 between SR-
241 and I-15. The concept would not disrupt SR-91 traffic during
construction and would allow for additional route selection for
incident management, emergency evacuation, and for continuity
of the highway network by linking SR-133 to I-15.
Current Status
On August 27, 2010 the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority
Board took action to defer additional study of the ICE concept
until such time as financial considerations improve and/or
technological advancements warrant reexamination. Review of
the concept shall be done annually through the SR-91
Implementation Plan update to determine if any of the major
assumptions about financial considerations, private sector
interest, or technological advancements have changed to make
the tunnel financially viable. (See “ICE status summary” for
further discussion).
Schedule and Cost
Anticipated project completion is post-2035 and construction cost
is estimated to be $8,855,000,000 (2009 dollars).
W estbound SR-91 to Southbound SR-55 Connector Improvements
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 30
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.
Key Considerations
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. This study is currently being conducted.
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 AV 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.
Benefits
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.
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.
Schedule and Cost
Anticipated project completion is post-2035 and construction cost
is estimated to be from $75,000,000 to $150,000,000 (2014
dollars).
Eastbound Fifth Lane Addition at SR-241
2020 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 31
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.
Key Considerations
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, mergin g 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.
Benefits
1) 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.
2) Potentially eliminate queue jumping in this area from EB SR-
91 as well as Weir Canyon Rd.
3) Potentially reduce speed differential between through lanes,
thus creating a more balanced flow.
4) Potentially provide balanced lane utilization at high traffic
demand area.
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
Total project cost, based on Caltrans’ estimate, is $31.25 million.
Project schedule has not been determined.
