RCTC receives status update on 2019–2029 Western Riverside County highway delivery plan
Summary
Staff presented a receive‑and‑file status update on the 2019–2029 Measure A Western Riverside County highway delivery plan, reporting that roughly 58% of projects are completed or ongoing and outlining next steps to reassess costs, reprioritize projects and develop a 2039 delivery plan.
Eric Galloway, RCTC project delivery director, presented a status update on the 2019–2029 Western Riverside County highway delivery plan and described staff’s approach to reprioritizing projects and recalibrating cost estimates through 2039.
Galloway reviewed the plan’s five groupings of projects (fully funded, partially funded, partner agency projects, not part of the plan and on‑hold projects) and summarized commission actions since the plan’s adoption that have advanced several projects previously categorized as unfunded. He said the delivery plan was evaluated by phase (environmental, design, construction) and by prioritization factors used in 2019 to separate projects into the groups.
Staff presented a status classification for each project phase—completed, ongoing, future (planned post‑2025) or on hold—and reported summary metrics: 58% of projects across all groups are completed or ongoing, 34% are categorized as future, and the remainder are on hold. Staff noted that group 1 (priority/funded RCTC projects) is over 50% complete and 31% in progress; group 2 projects are largely future (83%); and several projects originally not part of the plan have been advanced through commission funding actions.
Galloway described next steps for the remainder of 2025 and 2026: a financial and project cost analysis forecasting Measure A revenue through 2039, estimating remaining project costs, assessing debt service and financial commitments, and recalibrating project cost estimates in light of recent bids that have come in at or below engineer estimates. Staff plans to present a proposed reprioritization to the commission and begin development of the Measure A delivery plan for 2029–2039.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about completion targets for 2029; Galloway said the exact completion percentage depends on funding availability and that staff would align project costs with available funding to determine what is achievable. The item was received and filed; staff will return with financial analyses and proposed plan updates for commission consideration.
