Making Transportation Easy

The San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) is collaborating with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to enhance
the quality of life for all residents by expanding highways, creating new Metrolink tracks, and improving the air quality.
The California Legislature and the federal government approved the plan, dubbed the Countywide Transportation Plan, in 2012 and its anticipated
completion date is 2040. The Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) developed by SANBAG is serving as San Bernardino County’s input to the
statewide plan controlled by SCAG.
The Countywide Transportation Plan has established a list of objectives as they move forward with their plan:
- Reduce travel times for both highway and transit travel
- Maximize the efficiency and reliability of the transportation system
- Reduce vehicle hours traveled
- Reduce accidents
- Preserve existing infrastructure in a cost-effective manner
- Encourage development around existing and planned transit stations
Concerns have arisen regarding the potential impacts during construction. In areas nearby construction zones,
the closing of roads and buildings may actually increase traffic congestion and decrease air quality while the
project is underway. Supervisor Hagman will strive to minimize the number and duration of these closures.
