The Point: Despite challenges, RCTC continues road, transit investments
Yes, 2020 was one for the books. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on health and the economy created shockwaves locally, nationally, and globally. To cope with the crisis, RCTC kept moving forward, with a renewed focus on safety, fiscal responsibility, and economic recovery.
RCTC invested $943 million in projects this year to put more people to work and to keep people moving. This included starting construction of the long-awaited I-15 Railroad Canyon Interchange in Lake Elsinore and the I-215 Placentia Avenue Interchange in Perris, as well as continuing construction on I-15, Route 60 and Route 91.
In addition to these investments, RCTC:
- Protected our environment,
- Improved our public transit system,
- Helped our economy recover,
- Offered drivers choices,
- Faced our challenges, and
- Listened to residents
