San Bernardino Valley Projects
By approving Measure I, San Bernardino County voters guaranteed that all of the funds collected would be expended in San Bernardino County for certain types of transportation projects.
The projects specifically slated for the San Bernardino Valley are:
-
Major Projects: Measure I provides the funding necessary for the construction and/or improvement of freeways within the San Bernardino valley region, including Interstate 10, Interstate 215, State Route 210, State Route 60, and State Route 71.
-
Local Distribution: Measure I revenue is distributed to the cities within the county based on population or return to source for use on streets and roads pursuant to a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and a Twenty-Year Transportation Plan. The transportation plan and improvement program are adopted by resolution of the local jurisdictions annually and are available for public review.
