Safe Streets & Roads
The Traffic Relief Plan (TRP) is a comprehensive strategy to repair roads, reduce congestion, complete long-needed freeway projects, and improve safe, reliable travel options across Riverside County. A key investment in the plan is fixing potholes and ensuring smoother and safer roads for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Pothole repair and road maintenance; sidewalks and pedestrian safety infrastructure; protected bicycle lanes; roadway improvements in high-accident areas; bus shelters; bridge repairs; improvements to railroad crossings, including bridges to separate roads from railroad tracks; traffic calming measures; bypass roads; median barriers; protecting roads, sidewalks, and bicycle facilities from flooding and other natural hazards; traffic signals, including technology to synchronize and interconnect signals; improvements to provide accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Any local funds approved by voters in a future ordinance and expenditure plan would be distributed by formula (based on population) to each city and the county for unincorporated communities.
