Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC)

RCTC was created by the state legislature in 1976, as one of four southern California transportation commissions designed to provide more local control and input into transportation matters. In 1988, Measure A spelled out a twenty year plan for transportation improvements that would help ensure mobility in Riverside County. When 78.9% of voters approved the half-cent sales tax to fund the plan, RCTC became the agency charged with making sure the projects and programs voters wanted became a reality. In 2002, voters approved an extension of Measure A until 2039.

Today RCTC plans and implements transportation and transit improvements, assists local governments with money for local streets and roads, helps smooth the way for commuters and goods movement, and ensures that everyone has access to transportation.

RCTC is governed by a 31 member Commission that includes a mayor or council member from each of Riverside County’s cities, all five members of the Board of Supervisors, and a non-voting appointee of the Governor.
