Act now to save funding for the 10 and 15 freeways

Act now to save funding for the 10 and 15 freeways

Working Families in the Inland Empire Deserve Better

  • Reduced traffic on the 10 and 15
  • Improved safety
  • Increased access to economic opportunity
  • Equity in transportation

California has already established guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, tasking several state agencies with engagement and oversight. AB 6 and 7 are redundant measures that jeopardize local planning efforts and circumvent public engagement processes at the expense of working families.

Importantly, the efforts propelling AB 6 and 7 would inhibit forward momentum on key projects in the Inland Empire, including a 14.5-mile extension of the I-15 Express Lanes from Corona to Lake Elsinore, the critical I-10 Bypass project establishing a secondary route from Banning to Cabazon, the development of Interstate 10 Corridor Freight and Express Lanes, widening sections of U.S. 395 between I-15 and Route 18, and creating emergency bypass lanes along State Routes 247 and 62 as an alternate to I-15. Meanwhile, wealthier communities in Riverside County have seen state-of-the-art infrastructure investments both prioritized and realized in their neighborhoods.

If AB 6 & 7 pass, they would prohibit and could delay the use of state and local funding for road improvement projects to relieve congestion and improve safety, such as widening or new lanes approved by local voters.

Join us in telling Sacramento that we refuse to once again leave working families behind

We are committed to improving access to economic opportunity for the Inland Empire’s working families while addressing environmental, health, and community impacts. Regional electeds are familiar with and can engage in conversations with local residents as integrated members of the community, delivering infrastructure projects that expand travel choice, increase economic opportunity, and bolster access to inland desert communities.

AB 6 and 7 showcase that some politicians in Sacramento are disconnected from the local communities our electeds are meant to serve. Infrastructure improvements are key for upward economic mobility: we must not break longstanding commitments to equitably developing transportation options for Riverside County.

Stop AB 6&7

Hundreds of thousands of people are forced to sit on congested roadways across the Inland Empire, and AB 6&7 would make this problem worse. It’s time for the legislature to find real solutions for traffic relief on our freeways, and these bills would set us back.

Freeway congestion and smog from idling cars make air quality worse, which is why we need leaders to deliver on long-promised transportation projects that improve our environment and quality of life.

Please vote no on AB 6&7.
