Performance Monitoring and Pricing Pilot Project Update Page 2
The OCTA Board and the SR-91 Advisory Committee (Committee) directed
staff to provide periodic updates on PMAP3. The PMAP3 project team,
comprised of OCTA staff, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
staff, City of Anaheim staff, and toll road industry experts from Cofiroute USA
and IBI Group, developed the following deliverables in support of the
objectives:
• Concept of Operations
• Technology Assessment
• Travel Time and Speed -Monitoring System Functional Requirements
• Dynamic -Pricing White Paper
• Implementation Plan
• Pricing Research Study
• Travel Time Demonstration Study
• Application for participation in Federal Highways Administration (FHWA)
Value Pricing Program (VPP)
Following completion of initial concepts, OCTA submitted a proposal for grant
funding from the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) Value Pricing
Project (VPP). The project was suspended, pending notification of the VPP
grant awards. In the FHWA VPP proposal, OCTA estimated the total cost for
the PMAP3 deployment phase would reach $1,585,000, with $395,000
proposed from OCTA toll revenue funds and $1,190,000 in federal funds from
the VPP.
Concurrent with the PMAP3 effort, OCTA initiated an upgrade of the
91 Express Lanes Traffic Management System. The Traffic Management
System is an essential component of the performance -monitoring system of the
91 Express Lanes. The Traffic Management subsystems are aging and require
replacement to continue the current level of safety and service provided to
91 Express Lanes customers.
Discussion
On January 6, 2006, FHWA announced a grant award of $588,000 to OCTA for
participation in the VPP. Staff is currently working with Caltrans and the FHWA
grant administrator to define specific requirements for OCTA's participation in
the grant program. The VPP grant is restricted to provide a maximum of
80 percent of the estimated costs of the project. OCTA is eligible for
reimbursement of costs for initiating, planning, managing, operating,
monitoring, evaluating, and reporting on the PMAP project. Grant funds are
restricted from paying for activities conducted prior to approval for VPP
program participation.

Performance Monitoring and Pricing Pilot Project Update Page 3
As currently envisioned, there are two broad components of the PMAP3
system:
1. The travel time and speed -monitoring system focuses on enhancing the
traffic -monitoring and sensing capabilities of the 91 Express Lanes and
the adjoining main lanes. The system would greatly enhance the current
level of service offered to 91 Express Lanes customers as well as help
improve the vehicle throughput on the SR-91 corridor.
2. The dynamic -pricing system focuses on using real-time information from
the travel time and speed -monitoring system to set toll rates
dynamically. The pricing system, if implemented, would provide
customers a direct link between the prices they pay and their actual
experiences on the 91 Express Lanes.
The requirements for the travel time and speed -monitoring system will be
integrated with the Traffic Management System upgrades. Staff is pursuing a
multi -year, multi -phased approach to the Traffic Management System
improvements. This approach will enable better technical integration; ensure
compatibility of the hardware, software, and infrastructure required for PMAP3;
and will reduce procurement costs and risks associated with each effort.
The Board and Committee have found it prudent to move cautiously with any
proposed changes to the current pricing system. Once the travel time and
speed -monitoring system is operational, OCTA will use real-time data to
update the 91 Express Lanes traffic and revenue models and the
dynamic -pricing model. At that time, staff will present updated information to
the Board and the Committee for discussion and request a decision regarding
consideration of a dynamic -pricing system. Staff will continue to provide regular
project updates.
Fiscal Impact
The Board approved the Traffic Management System upgrade project in the
OCTA fiscal year 2005-06 Budget for Planning, Development and Commuter
Services Division, Account No. 0036-9027-B001-A86. The account is funded
through the SR91 Enterprise fund and the FHWA VPP grant.
Summary
This staff report provides an update on the PMAP3, a description of the FHWA
VPP Grant award, and discusses the next steps for the PMAP3 Project. OCTA
is updating the SR-91 traffic monitoring and reporting system. These
Performance Monitoring and Pricing Pilot Project Update Page 4
improvements will replace aging equipment and provide new systems that will
provide real-time information to SR-91 corridor commuters. A federal grant and
SR-91 toll revenues will fund these activities.

OCTA
June 2, 2006
To: State Route 91 Advisory Committee
From: Paul C. Taylor, Executive Dire
Subject: Riverside County — Orange County Major Investment Study Draft
Action Plan
Overview
A draft three-year plan for actions following the recently completed major
investment study is presented for review, discussion, and potential action.
Recommendation
Approve the draft action plan and direct staff to forward the plan to the
Riverside County Transportation Commission and Orange County
Transportation Authority Boards of Directors for approval.
Background
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC), and the Foothill Eastern Transportation
Corridor Agency (TCA) have completed a major investment study (MIS) of
long-term alternatives for improving travel between Riverside and Orange
counties. The MIS recommends major improvements to the Riverside
Freeway (State Route 91) from the Costa Mesa Freeway (State Route 55) to
the Ontario Freeway (Interstate 15), a new elevated roadway (91 Viaduct)
within State Route 91 (SR-91) between the Eastern Transportation
Corridor (State Route 241) and Interstate 15 (1-15), and a technical study of a
new corridor south of SR-91 connecting Irvine to Corona (Irvine -Corona
Expressway). These efforts are collectively referred to as the Riverside
County -Orange County (RC-OC) Corridor. In addition, safety/operational
improvements are recommended for Ortega Highway (State Route 74) from
the future State Route 241 (SR-241) extension (Foothill South) to
Lake Elsinore.

Riverside County — Orange County Major Investment Study Page 2
Draft Action Plan
Over the next three years, a series of initiatives are planned to advance
RC-OC Corridor improvements. These initiatives involve follow-up on
short- and long-term improvements to the SR-91, continued technical
evaluation of an Irvine -Corona Expressway, and evaluating operational
improvements to State Route 74 (SR-74). The draft action plan is presented
below for review, discussion, and approval.
Discussion
The action plan below focuses on specific activities over the next three
calendar years starting in January 2006. Activities include:
■ Executing funding agreements between the agencies
■ Developing and finalizing a joint agreement and initiating Irvine -Corona
Expressway technical feasibility studies
■ Updating the SR-91 Implementation Plan
■ Initiating a SR-74 safety/operational study with the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans)
■ Starting the 91 Viaduct conceptual engineering
■ Initiating a joint toll study with the TCA
■ Initiate SR-91 (SR-241 to the Corona Expressway [State Route 71]) final
design and related efforts
Each of these broad activities is further described below. A preliminary
schedule is included in Attachment A.
Funding Agreements between OCTA/RCTC. Cooperative agreements
between OCTA and RCTC to memorialize funding shares for SR-91 joint
projects spanning the counties are needed. These agreements will also outline
roles and responsibilities for design, right-of-way services, and other project
development tasks as appropriate. Schedule: Finalize by June 30, 2006.
Joint Powers Agreement and Irvine -Corona Expressway Feasibility Studies.
Federal legislation (Safe Accountability Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users, 2004) earmarked a total of $15.8 million to "study and
construct highway alternatives between Orange and Riverside Counties,
directed by the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority working with local
government agencies, local transportation authorities, and guided by the
current MIS. To secure these funds, a cooperative agreement for Riverside
Orange Corridor Authority development has been approved by OCTA, RCTC,
and the TCA. Water agencies have also been invited to join in the agreement.
The funds will be used to initiate technical studies of the conceptual
Irvine -Corona Expressway. For 2006, geotechnical investigation is
•

Riverside County — Orange County Major Investment Study Page 3
Draft Action Plan
recommended. Beyond 2006, preliminary engineering and seismic evaluation
may be recommended contingent on findings emerging from the geotechnical
study. Schedule: Finalize agreement by June 30, 2006, and initiate
geotechnical study by fall 2006.
SR-91 Implementation Plan. Assembly Bill 1010 (Correa, D-Santa Ana)
requires OCTA to annually issue a plan and a proposed completion schedule
for SR-91 improvements from 1-15 to State Route 55. This plan establishes a
program of projects eligible for funding by the use of potential excess toll
revenue and other funds. The plan needs to be updated to reflect recent policy
direction and potential project phasing. Schedule: Finalize plan by
June 30, 2006.
Ortega Highway Safety and Operational Study. The MIS recommends SR-74
operational/safety improvements. A joint study of SR-74 with Caltrans
Districts 8 and 12 is recommended focusing on the segment from the future
extension of SR-241 (Foothill South) to Lake Elsinore. This study will include
an amendment to the Master Plan of Arterial Highways to reduce future
capacity from four lanes to two lanes on SR-74 east of the future Foothill
South. Schedule: Initiate study by fall 2006 and complete by fall 2007.
91 Viaduct Conceptual Engineering. Conceptual engineering for the
91 Viaduct concept is recommended to gain a better understanding of impacts,
costs, and overall fit in the SR-91. Funding has not been identified for this
effort and is an action for 2006. Schedule: Complete 91 Expressway
conceptual engineering by 2007.
Joint Toll Study with Transportation Corridor Agencies. Carrying more traffic
on SR-241 is a key strategy if the 91 Viaduct moves forward. Timing of
planned widening and lane additions to the TCA system along with possible
adjustments in toll policies would need to be explored. Thetollstudy action
relates to identifying the specific revenue impacts to the TCA and the
91 Express Lanes with this concept. Schedule: Complete study by first half of
2007.
Complete SR-91 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Initiate Final Design.
OCTA will complete the SR-91 eastbound lane (SR-241 to State Route 71)
draft environmental document by the end of 2006. A portion of funding for the
final design of this project has been identified through Transportation
Congestion Relief Program funds allocated to RCTC. In addition, RCTC plans
to construct an additional lane in each direction, from Pierce Street in the
City of Riverside to the Orange County Line. Caltrans District 8 is in the
process of completing the required Project Study Report (PSR) for this project;
Riverside County — Orange County Major Investment Study Page 4
Draft Action Plan
availability of the final document is projected for June 2006. Schedule:
Complete PSR by June 2006. Complete eastbound Draft EIR by
December 2006. Initiate eastbound lane final design in first half of 2007
contingent on available revenue.
Finally, adding staff and project management resources to support the above
actions are also recommended in OCTA's Fiscal Year 2006-07 Budget. A new
OCTA project manager would be supported by one new senior analyst
position, one new administrative support position, and project management
consulting services. Schedule: Approve budget by June 30, 2006 (not shown
on Attachment A schedule).
Institutional Options by Corridor
Input from policymakers is critical in moving forward with this action plan.
Specific on -going input is needed on: (1) Irvine -Corona Expressway; (2) SR-91
improvements; (3) 91 Viaduct; and (4) SR-74 safety/operational improvements.
To date, the OCTA, RCTC, and TCA Boards of Directors have entered into an
agreement for continued study of the Irvine -Corona Expressway, and water
agencies are likely to enter into that agreement in the near future.
Many policy input options are possible on each of the remaining corridors
including continuing to move recommendations through the SR-91 Advisory
Committee, forming ad hoc subcommittees of the SR-91 Advisory Committee,
executing joint agreements with the involved agencies, and other potential
options. Unfortunately, no "one size fits all" for every corridor. The table below
presents a summary of some possible policymaking options for each corridor.
Staff is seeking input from the committee on a recommended approach for
each corridor.

2006 Draft SR-91
Implementation Plan
Executive Summary
June 2, 2006
SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
®Previous law authorized the Califomia Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to enter into franchise
agreements with private companies to construct and
operate four demonstration toll road projects in Califomia.
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 in December 1995,
the facility has saved users 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 Califomia Private Transportation Company (CPTC),
prohibited Caltrans and county transportation agencies
from !adding transportation capacity or operational
improvements to the SR-91 corridor from Interstate 15 (1-
15) in Riverside County to the Orange/Los Angeles
Counties border through the year 2030. 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, Govemor Gray
Davis signed Assembly Bill 1010 (Lou Correa) 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 Lane
franchise and eliminate the existing clause that prohibited
any capacity -enhancing improvements from being made
to SR-91 until the year 2030. The purchase agreement for
the 91 Express Lanes was completed in January 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 the OCTA, Orange County and Riverside
County public officials and Caltrans Districts 8 and 12
have been working together on improvement plans for SR-
91.
AB 1010 also requires OCTA, in consultation with Caltrans
and the Riverside County Transportation Commission
(RCTC), to annually issue a plan and a proposed
completion schedule for SR-91 improvements from 1-15 to
SR-55. This plan establishes a program of projects eligible
for funding by the use of potential excess toll revenue and
other funds.
The 2006 SR-91 Implementation Plan describes projects,
implementation schedules, benefits, and costs for major
projects through 2030. Most of the projects identified in
this Implementation Plan are based on the recently -
completed Riverside County — Orange County Major
Investment Study (MIS). The projects are presented
based on potential implementation schedules and
priorities established in the MIS.
❖ The first set of projects will be completed by 2011 and
include five improvements at a total cost of
approximately $145 million. The projects include the
eastbound SR-91 lane addition from near Coal
Canyon Wildlife Crossing to SR-71, the Green River
Road interchange overcrossing replacement, safety
improvements at the truck scales, Express Bus
improvements, and Metrolink service improvements.
Most of these projects are in the process of
preliminary engineering, final design, construction, or
procurement and implementation.
❖ The next set of improvements includes four projects,
which would be implemented by 2015 at a total cost
of approximately $504 to $570 million. The first of
these projects includes the 5th lane project from SR-
241 to Pierce Street that will add a fifth general
purpose (GP) lane in each direction on SR-91,
interchange improvements at SR-71/SR-91, and
collector -distributor (CD) roads for eastbound (EB)
SR-91 to SR-71 and in both directions at 1-15. The
other three projects that will be completed in this time
frame include a westbound (WB) lane at Tustin
Avenue, a potential new interchange at Fairmont
Boulevard, and a potential reversible lane facility from
the County Line to 1-15. As an alternative to the
reversible lane facility, restriping of SR-91 could be
implemented in both directions from the end of the 2nd
1 2006 SR-91 Implementation Plan
HOV lane (near SR-71/SR-91) to near Pierce
Street to gain an additional lane. t
❖ Projects for implementation by 2020 include new
travel lanes between SR-55 and SR-241 and a
significant expansion of Metrolink service. OCTA,
RCTC, and Caltrans have completed the
preliminary planning on these projects to ensure
readiness when local, state, or federal funding
becomes available. Consequently, there may be
opportunities to advance these projects if
additional funding is made available. Projects for
implementation by 2020 are expected to cost
$470 million.
Projects for implementation by 2030 focus on
longer -lead time projects. This multi -billion
program includes five potential projects that
require a significant amount of planning, design,
and future policy and public input. In some
cases, these projects are alternatives to each
other, and not all five projects will be
implemented.
New to the 2006 SR-91 Implementation Plan is the
inclusion of traffic analysis for major capacity projects.
This analysis used the latest freeway operations
software model available from UC Berkeley and 2005
traffic data from Caltrans and Austin -Foust
Associates.2 This freeway operations 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 suddenly both speed and volume rapidly
decrease for major segments of the freeway.

The operations analysis quantified travel time savings for
eastbound afternoon and westbound moming conditions
for the following major projects:
This restriping project may or may not be required based on
analysis of traffic operations after the 5th lane project and related
interchange improvements are implemented.
2 This traffic data was then adjusted to future years to account
for regional population and employment growth as well as
potential diversion from other transportation corridors.
2 2006 SR-91 Implementation Plan
Eastbound lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71 by
2011 (Project 1).
❖ New lanes from SR-241 to 1-15 by 2015 (Project 6).
❖ New lanes from SR-55 to SR-241 by 2020 (Project
10).
❖ New capacity provided by "Corridor A" and "Corridor
B" by 2030 as suggested by the 2006 Riverside
County — Orange County Major Investment Study
(Projects 14 and 15).
The results indicate that improvements planned for 2015
will significantly decrease travel time and increase travel
speeds eastbound in the aftemoon. Overall peak hour
eastbound aftemoon travel time could drop from about
100 minutes today to about 20 minutes in 2015. Other
future improvements could further decrease travel time.
These improvements, plus planned widening of SR-91
between SR-55 and SR-241 by 2020, will help manage
CP�-��O"Nlq

•
the future growth in westbound moming travel. However,
westbound moming travel time remains worse than
Otoday's conditions even with these improvements. The
current design of the 91 /55 interchange limits the ability to
move traffic into north and central Orange County via SR-
55, and significant future vehicle delays may result without
major new interchange and downstream capacity or
diversion to other corridors.

The introduction of Corridors A and B by 2030 offer the
potential capacity to manage future demand in both
directions. While both of these corridors are still concepts,
they provide significant relief to eastbound and westbound
traffic congestion in the future. Further feasibility studies
will determine if one or both concepts move forward in the
project development process. The charts below describe
the travel time and speed benefits by year including these
various project concepts.

Project Description
This project proposes capacity, operational, and safety improvements
to the eastbound (EB) lanes of SR-91 between the SR-241 and SR-71.
The purpose of this project is to provide an additional EB lane from SR-
w 241 to SR-71 and to widen all EB lanes and shoulders to standard
widths.lt would also remove the lane drop choke point east of SR-241
at Coal Canyon.
Key Considerations
F
Coordination with Green River Road Overcrossing Replacement
and Widening Project #2 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 closures are not anticipated. An EB concrete shoulder will be
constructed with a 12 foot width to minimize the impact of the Project
#6 lane addition in Segment 2.

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 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 existing right of way.
Key Considerations
Management of traffic during construction. Coordination may be
required with Projects #1, #6, and #9. Implementation of

Project Description
OCTA, working with the Riverside County Transportation Commission,
and the Riverside Transit Agency, plans an extensive expansion of
express bus service between Riverside and Orange Counties.
Commuters lack direct transit connections to many Orange County
employment centers, and new express bus service will provide
connections to growing employment centers in Anaheim, Costa Mesa,
and Irvine.
Four express bus routes are planned from Riverside County to: South
Coast Plaza (54 miles); the northeast Anaheim Industrial Area and
California State University Fullerton (47 miles); Anaheim Civic Center,
Westem Medical Center, and Disneyland Resort (53 miles); and Irvine
Business Center and UCI (52 miles). Routes would run every 30 to 45
minutes in the peak period, and service will be tailored to match demand.
Implementation is planned to start in Fall 2006 with the Riverside County
to South Coast Plaza route. The other routes are planned for
implementation by Fiscal Year 2010/2011 contingent on future budget
authority.

Project Description
OCTA, working with the Riverside County Transportation Commission,
San Bernardino Associated Governments, and the Southern California
Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), plans a short-term expansion of
train service from the Inland Empire to Orange County. More trains
are planned on the Inland Empire to Orange County (IEOC) line that
currently runs between San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange
Counties as well as the "91 Line" that goes from the Inland Empire to
Los Angeles via Orange County, paralleling SR-91.
Currently, 16 trains a day run on the IEOC line and nine trains on the
91 Line for a total of 25 daily trains. The short-term expansion adds
two additional IEOC trains and four additional 91 Line trains by 2010
for a total of 31 daily trains. The planned short-term expansion is
necessary to accommodate population and employment growth in the
region as well as make the current service more convenient.

Widen SR-91 by One GP Lane in Each Direction East of SR-2411 CD
Roads at SR-71/SR-91 and 1-15/SR-911 and System interchange Improvements
Project Description
The improvements primarily consist of constructing a new EB and VVB 5th general purpose (GP) lane, replacing existing and adding new auxiliary lanes, and new collector -distributor (CD) roads for
freeway -to -freeway connectors at SR-71 and 1-15. The project is planned to include space within the median for the planned 1-15 HOV direct connectors.
Key Considerations
Implementation of MIS Corridor A (Project #14) within the SR-91 median would involve the placement of columns (mainline and outriggers) and access from the SR-91 median tol-15, both of which
would require space within the SR-91 median in the Project #6 vicinity. Therefore, the loss of lanes during Corridor A construction could be two to. four lanes assuming that Corridor A occurred as a
separate project after completion of construction for Project #6. While Project #6 accommodates a total of two HOV direct connector lanes (Project #13), the four lanes for Corridor A atl-15 would require
space that will be occupied by SR-91 lanes. Project #6 improvements need to be coordinated with the Green River Road overcrossing replacement Project #2. In the future, restriping to non-standard
lane and shoulder widths could be accomplished to gain a 6th lane in each direction if needed. The reversible lane Project #9 could operate on SR-91 until traffic in both directions becomes more evenly
split, e which time, the possibility to restripe to a 6th lane in each direction would be beneficial.
The preferred PSR Alternative 4 includes a new direct connector flyover from EB SR-91 to NB SR-71 with modifications to the existing west to north and south to west connectors. Another alternative
(Alt. 3) includes an ultimate SR-71/SR-91 interchange concept with flyover connectors for all movements. Alternative 2 modifies the existing SR-71/SR-91 connectors, most notably.the- R-91 east to SR-
",
71 north connector which is improved from a radius of 35m to 45m. The four project (build) alternatives range in cost from $314,000,000 to $365,000,000.
Benefits
Will reduce congestion by providing additional capacity from SR-241 to Pierce St and by eliminating weaving conflicts on SR-91 at1-15 and SR-71 by the use of

lane from the NB SR-55 to WB SR-91 connector to the Tustin Avenue
interchange and the continuation of a fourth general purpose lane
through the Tustin Avenue interchange (shown below). PSR Alternative 3
ncludes a WB collector -distributor (CD) road that begins east of SR-55
;with a WB Tustin Avenue exit "ramp" that bypasses the SR-551SR-91
interchange and then merges with the two lanes from NB SR-55 to form a
3-lane CD road to Tustin Avenue. Alternative 4 of the same PSR includes
a CD road that begins with the NB SR-55 to WB SR-91 connector and
includes an exit to Tustin Avenue. Alternative 4 also includes a two-lane
braided exit from WB S14 9 lustin Avenue.

Project Description
A ; The project would provide a new connection to SR-91 at Fairmont
Boulevard. Two options are being considered as follows:
OPTION 1-
A new partial overcrossing at Fairmont Boulevard will provide northerly
access for Yorba Linda. No connection is proposed southerly into
Anaheim. On and off ramps will connect Fairmont Boulevard to eastbound
I (EB) and westbound (VVB) SR-91, relieving the parallel arterials of Imperial
t Highway (SR-90) and Weir Canyon Road.
OPTION 2 -
A new partial overcrossing at Fairmont Boulevard will provide northerly
access for Yorba Linda from the 91 Express Lanes. No connection is
proposed southerly into Anaheim. Drop ramps on the east side of the
overcrossing provide an entrance to the EB Express Lanes and an exit
from the VVB express lanes. Drop ramps on the west side may be
considered as well to provide a VVB entrance and an EB exit. Outside
!, widening of SR-91 and re -striping of the general purpose lanes is required
and contribute to higher project costs than for Option 1.

Project Description
! Improvements primarily consist of constructing a seven mile long
reversible lane facility with a moveable barrier that would effectively
- add capacity between the Orange -Riverside County line and 1-15. The
project will effectively balance lanes during peak hours from the end of
- the SR-91 Express Lanes to 1-15. In addition, the elimination of median
columns at four overcrossing locations and construction of a direst
access ramp from 1-15 HOV lanes are included.
Key Considerations
Management of traffic during construction, toll collection and toll facility
design needs to be considered. The moveable median barrier will need
to be shifted up to four times daily. The project requires construction of
an additional general purpose (GP) lane (Project #6) prior to
implementation of the reversible lane concept. Costs exclude the lane
addition and any required toll collection infrastructure. The type of
managed lanes (HOT vs. free) needs to be determined for the
reversible lanes. Coordination is needed with Project #6 and the
upcoming Green River Road overcrossing replacement Project #2, and
will conflict with future HOV direct connector Project #13, which could
connector but only utilize one lane as
g the life of the project. Coordination is
_pending upon the length of the
ch m Mend from SR-241 to SR-71. Other design

require 'rther analysis and may significantly impact

Project Description
This project proposes capacity and operational improvements to the
eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) lanes of SR-91 between SR-55 and
SR-241. An additional westbound general purpose lane will be provided
between SR-241 and the Imperial Highway (SR-90) interchange. An
additional EB general purpose (GP) lane will be provided between SR-55
and SR-241. Existing auxiliary lanes would be replaced. Modification or
reconfiguration of the WB Lakeview Avenue on ramps may also be
considered to improve weaving issues to SR-55. Separating traffic is a
potential solution to the Lakeview Avenue merge issue.
Key Considerations
Coordination with the Fairmont Boulevard interchange project #8 will be

Project Description
OCTA, working with the Riverside County Transportation
Commission, San Bemardino Associated Governments, and the
Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), plans an
extensive expansion of train service from the Inland Empire to
Orange County. More trains are planned on the inland Empire to
Orange County (IEOC) line that currently runs between San
Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties as well as the "91.
Line" that goes from the inland Empire to Los Angeles via Orange
County, paralleling State Freeway 91.
Currently, 16 trains a day run on the IEOC line and nine trains on
the 91 Line. The long-term expansion plan builds on service levels
that will be implemented by 2010. The "2010" plan includes two
additional IEOC trains and four additional 91 Line trains for a total
of 31 trains a day. The long-term plan adds another 10 IEOC
trains and five 91 Line trains for a total of 46 daily trains. This

3 Project Description
The SR-241/SR-91 direct connector will carry northbound SR-241 traffic to
eastbound SR-91 Express Lanes and carry westbound SR-91 Express
• Lane traffic to southbound SR-241. Because the direct connector merges in
• the median of SR-91, outside widening of SR-91 and reorienting Gypsum
Canyon interchange is required. Costs may vary significantly, depending on
K the implementation of earlier projects.
Key Considerations
I Implementation of MIS Corridor (Project #14) may supersede the need for
• the direct connector improvements. Project #12 may become the first phase
of Corridor A, perhaps on a different alignment. The direct connector impact
on SR-91 will depend upon whether the connectors are 4-lanes (toll -to -toll)
or 2-lanes (HOV). The impact of the connector on the Express Lanes will
likely require the connector lanes to be extended along SR-91 some
distance, possibly to SR-71 relative to volume and capacity, that will require
r further evaluation. An optional project would include an extension of the
direct connector to and from SR-71. Toll collection issues will need to be
resolved. Widening to accommodate the direct connector would impact the
connectors to SR-71and theiertes added by Project #6. Costs are based on
a 2 lane connector to BR 9 ihding near SR-71 and will vary widely
depending on the kSy, �t tions noted.

Project Description
The improvements primarily consist of constructing a new freeway -to -

Project Description
The improvements primarily consist of constructing a new 4-lane
elevated expressway within the Santa Ana Canyon with freeway -to -
freeway connectors at SR-241, SR-71 and 1-15. The facility may
include managed lanes.
Key Considerations
Choice of alignment will be key to determining net capacity increase.
Implementation of Corridor may supercede the need for the direct
connector improvement Projects #12 and #13. Extensive right-of-way
will be required to implement the improvements. If Project #6 is
constructed and a 4-lane elevated facility is proposed within the
median of SR-91 through Corona, extensive freeway lane closures
would be required (thus reducing SR-91 capacity).
Potential considerations for co -locating the Maglev (see Project #16)
adjacent to Corridor A (and also SR-91) include providing a two -column
structure with a barrier between the trains and vehicles. Concepts for
CorridorA and Maglev withpth R-91 median could preclude future

Project Description
The improvements primarily consist of constructing a new 4-lane
highway facility through the Cleveland National Forest with freeway -

The facility may include managed lanes. The 4-lane facility would
essentially be a continuation of SR-133 on the west end, and Mid

Key Considerations
Choice of alignment type will be key in determining the cost of
implementation (nearly full-length tunnel, or other facility type with
less tunneling). Determining groundwater levels will be key in
determining alignments and allowable depths for the tunnel portions.
Cost associated with Major Investment Study (MIS) Corridor B are
