Residents throughout Riverside County are invited to view a live webcast next week that’ll provide specific details on the implementation of strategies to relieve traffic congestion in multiple locations.
The “Traffic Relief Plan” will be described during an online broadcast available to the general public on Monday, beginning at 5:30 p.m., according to the Riverside County Transportation Commission.
The link for the hourlong cast is us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kZJ76EZqT2aN1SSGJwv_8Q#/registration.
“The TRP is a comprehensive countywide strategic blueprint that identifies more than $30 billion in transportation investments to help reduce traffic congestion, repair potholes on local roads and streets, increase the frequency of public transportation and strengthen the county’s transportation infrastructure against natural disasters,” according to an agency statement.
The plan was formally approved in 2024 following a period of public comment. The Coachella Valley is one of the direct beneficiaries.
“The plan reflects input from thousands of voices … with residents sending a clear message: they want a reliable, safer, more efficient transportation system that anticipates growth, promotes prosperity and preserves the freedom to get from here to there without long waits,” RCTC stated.
The last relief plan was circulated for public review in 2020. Officials said the latest one is intended to address ongoing population growth, as well as the pressures associated with that, most prominently greater burdens on infrastructure.
The plan summary is available at www.rctc.org/traffic-relief-plan/.
