(a 50% increase)
• Afternoon eastbound
delays in top 5 in
nation – speeds drop
below 15 MPH

4. Multiple Benefits
• Fewer traffic delays
• Choice between lanes
• Faster emergency
response
• Reduced air pollution
• Improved surface
streets, connectivity
• 16,200 jobs created

6. Typical Section

7. Express Lanes
• Extend proven OC 91 Express Lanes
• RCTC to own/operate in Riv Co
• Replace carpool lanes; carpoolers
with 3+ and transponder ride free
94% of time
• Revenue reinvested in 91 corridor
• Without toll revenue, full widening
would not be possible, project would
be delayed for many years

8. Seamless Express Lanes
TollPolicySimilarities
Identical toll policy goals shared by OCTA and RCTC
Variable congestion pricing based on time-of-day and day-of-week
Pricing adjusted quarterly by pre-defined formula based
on tolled express lanes’ traffic volume
Tolls set to maximize corridor throughput
3+ carpoolers ride free during most periods
All electronic tolling using California interoperable transponders

• Save 3-4 years over design-bid-build method by
overlapping design and build phases
• Shorter construction = Fewer impacts, lower cost
• Schedule and complexity ripe for innovations
• “Best Value” design-builder selected
• Price certainty needed for financial market
• Proper risk allocation reduces risk to RCTC
• Co-located project team = close coordination
