What is the Mid County Parkway?

The Mid County Parkway is a proposed 32-mile transportation corridor that will relieve traffic congestion for east-west travel in western Riverside County between the San Jacinto and Corona areas and help address future transportation needs through 2035.

The proposed corridor was identified as a part of the Riverside County Integrated Project transportation element, called the Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP), a regionwide transportation and environmental planning project undertaken over several years by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the County of Riverside. The Project determined that a corridor in the vicinity of Cajalco Road in the west and Ramona Expressway in the east would significantly reduce congestion, improve traffic flow, and reduce travel times on I-215, SR 91, SR 74, and SR 60. County residents, through their input at public meetings, helped determine the general corridor locations under consideration. Further study of potential route locations is being conducted by RCTC, the agency responsible for transportation planning in Riverside County and the administrator of Measure A, Riverside County's 1/2¢ sales tax for transportation.
