SBCTA Joins California Vanpool Authority
The Board of Directors this week approved a joint powers agreement to join the California Vanpool Authority (CalVans). CalVans is a Joint Powers Authority public transit agency that provides vanpool vehicles in member jurisdictions, currently operating in 13 California areas, including Riverside County. This agreement will provide funds to CalVans from SBCTA, not to exceed $350,000, for the provision of subsidies for eligible vanpools operated by CalVans within San Bernardino County.
The SBCTA Vanpool Program is slated to launch in spring 2018. The vanpool program will provide up to a $400 subsidy towards the cost of a vanpool lease for vanpools originating or terminating within San Bernardino County (excluding Victor Valley Transit Authority service area which operates their own vanpool program). SBCTA will also have representation on the CalVans Board of Directors and appoint one Primary member and one Alternate member to serve on the Board.

Nighttime Freeway Closures Needed to Demo Portion of I-215/Barton Road Bridge
As part of the Interstate 215 / Barton Road Interchange Project, crews will be closing both directions of Interstate 215 nightly starting Monday, February 12 through Thursday, February 15. Each closure will begin at 8pm and continue through 5am at which time the Interstate will reopen for commute traffic. This necessary closure allows for the safety of motorists and construction personnel while the crews perform the demolition of the southern portion of the existing bridge.
A detour for motorists traveling through the work zone or seeking access to Barton Road will be signed to navigate travelers safely to the destinations. Drivers will not be able to cross the bridge at Barton Road, but detours to access to either side are available. TRUCKS should take special note that access to locations along Barton Road, east of I-215, will only be available from the northbound off ramp. Motorists traveling in the area should expect delays and plan accordingly.

54-Hour Weekend Closure Slated for Base Line Road Off Ramp from Northbound I-15
Discovery of damage to an underground drainage system will require crews to close the northbound Base Line Road off ramp on Interstate 15 from 11pm on Friday, February 23 through 5am, Monday, February 26, to allow for repairs to be performed.
This 54-hour continuous closure of the ramp is necessary to allow the contractor to dig out the damaged portion of the drainage system, perform the necessary corrections, and replace the roadway and adjacent shoulder back to operation in time for the Monday morning commute traffic.
A detour (see map below) for motorists seeking access to Base Line Road will be signed to navigate travelers from Foothill Boulevard (located one exit to the south) to Base Line Road in Rancho Cucamonga. Base Line Road itself will not be impacted during the weekend operation. Motorists traveling in the area should expect minor delays and plan accordingly.
