OCTA is the Proud Owner of the 91 Express Lanes Toll Road

For commuters on the Riverside Freeway (SR-91)— and everyone else who drives the often gridlocked route— January 3, 2003 marked a historic moment. That is when the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) took public ownership of the 91 Express Lanes from the private firm that had owned and operated them since its inception in 1995.

The purchase of the lanes by OCTA promises a new day for FasTrak™ commuters and everyone who uses the SR-91 freeway. Under OCTA ownership, Orange and Riverside county public officials work together on toll road policies and related improvement plans for the 91 corridor. Along with the recent voter approval of Measure A, an extension of Riverside County's sales tax to pay for transportation projects, long overdue improvements to the SR-91 freeway from I-15 in Riverside County to the Los Angeles County Line are now possible.

OCTA is proud to be the owner of the 91 Express Lanes and looks forward to keeping you informed regarding information vital to your 91 Express Lanes account.

Two Counties, Public to Have Say in Running Express Lanes 

For the first time in the history of the 91 Express Lanes, public officials from Orange and Riverside counties make decisions on how the toll road is managed. OCTA has formed an advisory committee with Riverside County officials to oversee the SR-91 freeway corridor and make recommendations for improving transportation between the two counties. OCTA and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) have each appointed five representatives to the committee. Representatives from the Caltrans District offices in Orange County and the Inland Empire, as well as the San Bernardino Associated Governments, have also been appointed as non-voting members. The advisory committee's main duties are to review and make recommendations on such issues as toll structure, operations, maintenance, the use of toll revenues, and improvements along the 91 corridor.
