Public Open Houses Scheduled
for
West Valley Connector Project
The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority, in coordination with our city partners, is hosting three public open house events in June to share information and gather input for the West Valley Connector Project. This two-phase, 35-mile Bus Rapid Transit consideration that proposes limited stops and other efficiency improvements is studying two build alternatives for enhancing transit in the western portion of San Bernardino County.
The open houses will be held on June 13, 14 and 15 in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Pomona respectively. The goal of these outreach efforts is to inform, involve, and collaborate with the general public by providing an opportunity for attendees to offer feedback on the project's proposed design elements, potential impacts to the community and, in particular, to environmental justice communities.

San Bernardino Regional Energy Partnership Works to Improve Efficiency
In April of 2015, the CPUC approved the formation of the San Bernardino Regional Energy Partnership (SBREP), a free program for cities within San Bernardino County. On September 2, 2015, San Bernardino Council of Governments (SBCOG) Board of Directors approved contracts with Southern California Edison (SCE) and Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) to fund SBCOG's implementation of the SBREP.
To date, eleven cities have passed a Resolution between SBCOG, Southern California Edison (SCE), and SoCalGas, declaring support for the SBREP, its goals and committing to identifying energy efficiency solutions within their facilities and communities. The overall goal of the SBREP is to support cities with implementing energy efficiency upgrades within their facilities by offering free resources and technical assistance, energy efficiency programs and encouraging them to lead by example. In addition to supporting municipalities, the SBREP provides education and support to residents within the community.

"Next week's General Assembly event is an opportunity for the county to resiliently stand together with our communities and celebrate hope for our future, and it is fitting that we will also be joined by Ms. Cabral, an inspiration for our future, and Mr. Waller, a man who has served his country and community in such a tremendous way," said SBCTA President Robert Lovingood.

Devore Interchange Project Awarded "Best in Class" for Partnering
At the 17th Annual Caltrans Excellence in Partnering awards ceremony held in Sacramento, CA, members of the Devore Interchange Project team were presented with the distinction of 'Best in Class' for their outstanding commitment to cooperatively and collaboratively delivering a high quality transportation improvement.
The Devore Interchange Project features the unique aspect of two public agencies (SBCTA and Caltrans) collaborating with a Design-Builder to efficiently and effectively bring the project in early and under budget. Open communication allowed for innovation to be implemented to address community concerns while enhancing system operation near the interchange.
Perhaps one of the most valued by-products of this cooperative team, however, was the safety record. There were zero recorded injuries and zero man-hours lost. Congratulations to the entire Devore Interchange Project team.

Inter-County Transit and Rail Connectivity Study Advances Forward
Since early 2016, SCAG has been conducting the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Inter-County Transit and Rail Connectivity Study (Inter-County Study). The Inter-County Study is being conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), and partner agencies.
The Inter-County Study focuses on the transportation corridor that connects the eastern San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County with the western San Bernardino Valley in San Bernardino County, and includes the consideration of Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension (Azusa to Montclair), a transit/rail connection from Montclair to Ontario International Airport (ONT), the Metrolink San Bernardino and Riverside Lines, and future Express Lanes on the I-10 San Bernardino Freeway.
To date, a travel market analysis and existing conditions report have been completed. In addition, two public workshops were held in Summer 2016, and an on-line survey was conducted. The Technical Working Group and Stakeholder Review Committee are now working through the process of screening initial alternatives down to six options that can be carried into a Phase 2 analysis.
