RCTC advances 2026 STIP recommendations and reviews 2019–2029 delivery plan status
Summary
Staff presented recommendations for Riverside County’s 2026 STIP submittal (approx. $32.7M county share) and a status update on the 2019–2029 Measure A delivery plan, identifying completed, ongoing, future and deferred projects and outlining steps to reprioritize ahead of Measure A's 2039 sunset.
Staff presented Riverside County’s proposed 2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) submission and a separate status update on the 2019–2029 Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan.
On STIP, staff said the California Transportation Commission’s statewide fund estimate for the 2026 STIP is $1.1 billion and Riverside County’s share is approximately $32.7 million. The recommended programming includes setting aside 5% for planning, programming and monitoring; revising Highland Springs/I‑10 funding to align with current schedules; moving some STBG funds into STIP for projects that cannot obligate federal funding in time; and programming remaining capacity toward the I‑15 Express Lanes southern extension. Staff noted statutory deadlines for submittal (December 15) and anticipated CTC adoption in March 2026.
Eric Galloway provided a status update on the 2019 delivery plan adopted in 2019 under Measure A, reviewing groupings of projects (fully funded, partially funded, partner agency projects and those not part of the plan). He summarized changes since adoption, including commission actions that advanced or deferred specific projects, and presented a progress snapshot: roughly 58% of projects are completed or ongoing, 34% require assessment for funding availability, and several major projects remain on hold. Galloway outlined next steps—financial/project cost analysis, revenue forecasts through 2039, and preparing a 2039 delivery plan to prioritize the remaining Measure A highway projects.
Commissioners commented in support of the proposed STIP programming and of continuing transparency on delivery plan priorities as Measure A approaches its 2039 sunset. Staff committed to return with proposed reprioritization for commission approval and to provide the STIP package to the CTC by the statutory deadline.
