The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), in collaboration with Caltrans, the City of Corona, Riverside Transit Agency, and Metrolink, is proposing the 15/91 Express Transit Connector (ETC) Project which aims to enhance transit connectivity and HOV access between the 91 Express Lanes and the City of Corona, specifically, the Corona-North Main Metrolink Station and the adjacent Corona Transit Station and Park & Ride.

The 15/91 Express Transit Connector would:

• Provide a new and convenient transit connection to the Corona-North Main Metrolink Station for buses that use the 91 Express Lanes
• Create new transfer opportunities between express bus services, regional rail, and local bus routes
• Improve access and connectivity to the Express Lanes for high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs)
• Encourage use of public transit and carpooling and facilitate reductions in vehicle miles traveled

The Corona-North Main Metrolink Station is a major regional transportation hub that includes Metrolink passenger rail service, the Corona Bus Transit Center, and the adjacent Park & Ride. The station is a hub for transit services, given its close proximity to SR-91 and I-15.

Buses and other vehicles that travel in the 91 Express Lanes cannot currently access the station directly or other nearby destinations. The proposed 15/91 ETC would address transit connectivity while also providing new access for HOVs between the 91 Express Lanes.
