The proposed project targets travelers who might be receptive to using transit on an occasional or more regular basis, but encounter informational and logistical barriers that often dissuade them from undertaking a multimodal trip-barriers such as which service to use, where to park, how much the service will cost, how to pay for the service, and how to effectuate a return trip. This combination of project elements will use technology not only to better coordinate existing services and leverage recent infrastructure investments in the corridor by RCTC and its state and local partners, but also to educate travelers about the availability of increasingly robust and competitive alternatives to driving in a single-occupant vehicle and to consolidate relevant travel information in a user-friendly way.īy delivering travel information in a visible, real-time manner via both changeable message signs and the enhancement of the IECommuter mobile app, the proposed program will increase awareness of the travel-time and cost advantages of services operating parallel to the SR 91 corridor.


Parking detection and wayfinding technology at the Downtown Riverside and La Sierra park-and-ride lots.Changeable message signs along SR 91 to provide information about the travel time and costs associated with multi-modal options.Integration of Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) information with the existing RTA bus AVL/GPS system to provide the Transit Eco-Drive suite of applications.A decision support system that fuses information about highway conditions from existing sensors, video cameras, and traffic data sources to provide recommendations to operators and transit bus drivers, with the potential to provide queue warnings and speed harmonization within the travel app as a future capability.A multi-modal trip planning application that is capable of integrating real-time information about highway conditions, rail and bus transit, rideshare options, and parking availability.Diversions to other modes during recurring peak hour congestion and non-recurring incidents and events will help manage travel demand. The proposed project will allow travelers to make informed decisions and comparisons regarding travel time and costs via driving, bus, and commuter rail, then facilitate diversion to those modes through in-app navigation to park-and-ride lots located just off the SR 91 Corridor, synchronization with real-time transit schedules, and signal priority for transit buses. RCTC proposes to form partnerships with Caltrans District 8, Riverside Transit Authority (RTA), Metrolink commuter rail, the City of Riverside, and the University of California – Riverside (UCR) to deliver a proactive approach to offering multi-modal travel options to commuters prior to and during trips. The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) in partnership with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 8 is seeking discretionary federal grant funds to implement the SR 91 Multimodal Corridor Management Project, an innovative technology program for a critical and congested commuter link between the Inland Empire and coastal Orange County serving over 280,000 vehicles per day.
