Help for the Inland Empire

Inland Empire transportation planners have been trying to improve traffic flow on north-south freeways as growth continues to explode. One key part of that is a major widening of the 215, which got a boost from the state:

The California Transportation Commission voted today to allocate $13 million to widen Interstate 215 from the Interstate 15- Interstate 215 interchange north to Nuevo Road in Perris. The allocation was part of a larger $674 million funding announcement for 35 transportation-related projects statewide. Funding sources include $225 million from Proposition 1B, $60 million from Proposition 42 and $389 million from the Public Transportation Account. (CNS)
