"As the largest city in San Bernardino (aunty and the county seat, the City of
San Bernardino is committed to maintaining its network of streets and roads. Measure I
has enabled us to rehabilitate pavement, install signals and widen streets to relieve
traffic congestion and improve safety to motorists." --ludithValles,Mayor
Member, SANBAG Board of Directors

transportation improvements in the City of San Bernardino. This 20-year half-cent sales tax has
provided nearly $17 million far San Bernardino's streets and roads during the first 10 years. local
officials make decisions about the allocation of these funds.
Additional Measure Ifunds -- a total of $406 million -- have been pooled by all of the cities and
unincorporated areas in the volley region of San Bernardino County. These pooled funds support
freeway improvements, Metrolink trains, Omnitrans subsidies for elderly and disabled riders, major
streets that serve as transportation arteries, ridesharing programs, landscaping and traffic manage-
ment. Measure I clearly is working for the City of San Bernardino!

Highlights of Measure I Expen
SB Valley pools funds to support regional projects
sties and unincorporated regions in the valley
Cpartian of San Bernardino County --all areas
except the deserts and mountains -- combine most
of their Measure I funds for transportation projects
that benefit all of the valley communities. Pooling
funds allows these communities to maximize their
resources. Projects include freeways, Metrolink,
Omnitrans, major streets, and traffic management/
environmental efforts, such as congestion relief,
landscaping and clean fuels.
^ Freeway improvement projects
As the Inland Empire continues to grow, so does the
need for efficient freeway systems. Measure I is the
local funding source for building new freeways and
widening existing routes. In most cases, Caltrans
serves as a partner for these construction projects.
The largest freeway project funded by Measure I is
the construction of State Route 210, also known as the
Foothill Freeway, which will cover 28.2 miles between
la Yerne and San Bernardino. About 23 miles of the new
freeway are in San Bernardino (aunty. Asix-mile
portion of State Route 210 opened in August 2001 in
Rancho (ucamonga and Fontana. An additional 14 miles
is under construction now in Rancho Cucamonga, Upland,
Claremont and La Yerne and will be complete in fall
2002. Construction on portions east of Fontana through
Rialto and San Bernardino will begin in early 2003.
Other major projects have included:
State Route 60 between the los Angeles County line and
Interstate 15. This was completed in 1991.
^ Building the new State Route 11 in Chino and Chino
Hills, which transformed atwo-lane highway to eight
lanes of efficient freeway. State Route 71 opened to
traffic in 1997.
^ Constructing 9.9 miles of carpool lanes on Interstate
10 through Montclair and Ontario, which was finished in
2000.
Coming Soon ...
Upcoming Measure (projects are the construction of
a 3.1-mile truck-climbing lane on Interstate 10 between
Redlands and Yucaipa; the widening of 2.5 miles of
Interstate 10 in downtown Redlands; the widening of six
miles of Interstate 215 in downtown San Bernardino; and
environmental analysis for the widening of four miles of
Interstate 21 S in Colton and Grand Terrace.
^ Metrolink train service
The passage of Measure I in 19891aid the tracks
for the Metrolink commuter rail service. Metrolink
serves Son Bernardino County and Southern California
by providing reliable, fast, clean transportation to
jobs and entertainment centers.
Measure I funded the purchase of railroad right-of-
way,track rights, station construction, track and
signal improvements and locomotive and passenger
cars. Ongoing operational costs are funded by fares.
The San Bernardino-los Angeles line opened in
October 1992, and the Inland Empire-Orange County
line began operating in October 1995.
^ Traffic management/environmental
enhancement activities
Measure I supports several programs to manage
traffic and improve the local environment. These
include a countywide Congestion Management
Program to track and reduce freeway and street
congestion, traffic forecasting and development of
non-potable water sources to irrigate freeway
landscaping. To improve air quality, Measure I also
funds traffic signal synchronization planning for the
network of major arterial streets, rideshare
incentives and clean fuel vehicle programs.
