91 Express Lanes Extended by 8 Miles

Tomorrow morning, FasTrak accountholders will have eight new miles to drive when the Riverside segment of the 91 Express Lanes opens for the morning commute.

The new Riverside segment stretches from the Orange/Riverside County Line to 1.) McKinley Street on State Route 91 and 2.) Ontario Avenue on Interstate 15 South. There will not be direct access to Interstate 15 North from the Express Lanes.

Drivers will be able to travel the existing Orange County segment (between State Route 55 and the Orange/Riverside County Line), the new Riverside segment or the two segments combined for 18 miles of time savings. There will be an entry/exit point at the Orange/Riverside County Line.

Use the 91 Express Lanes and 241 Toll Road in the Same Trip:

Westbound State Route 91 drivers can enter the Express Lanes at McKinley Street (State Route 91) or Ontario Avenue (northbound Interstate 15) and exit at the County Line to access the southbound 241 Toll Road.

Northbound 241 Toll Road drivers can enter the eastbound 91 Express Lanes at the County Line to travel the Express Lanes through Corona.

Paying Tolls:

A toll will be charged for each 91 Express Lanes segment used. Overhead signs at every entry point will display the price for traveling a single segment and the full length of the Express Lanes. Toll rates can also be found at 91ExpressLanes.com.

FasTrak Transponder Required:

All vehicles, including carpoolers, must have a properly mounted FasTrak transponder issued by a California toll agency for toll collection. A transponder can be used to pay tolls on every tolled bridge, lane and road in California. Tolls on the 91 Express Lanes cannot be paid via license plate or with cash.

Carpools of three or more wishing to receive the carpool discount on the 91 Express Lanes must have a FasTrak transponder mounted and travel through the designated HOV3+ lane (the far left lane) at the toll points for both the Orange County and Riverside segments to receive the carpool discount.

Additional Project Improvements:

As part of the Riverside County Transportation Commission’s project, a new general purpose lane is being added in both directions on State Route 91 between State Route 71 and Interstate 15. Auxiliary lanes, interchanges, bridges, ramps and local streets have also been improved through Corona and will open in phases.

  1. FYI: Just received your Rewards Program info: “Having an account has it’s [sic] rewards.” “It’s” is a contraction of the two words “it is.” There should be no apostrophe here.

  2. So now how do we enter the west bound lanes from the South Bound side of the I-15 (North of the I-91, Norco Area)?

    You have a I-15 Southbound Express interchange, but no Northbound I-15 Express interchange. I have to get off way back at the County Line or drive way beyond my area to McKinley or Ontario ave.. What Dolt decided that?

  3. What are you doing about the absolute ridiculous connector between the 241 North and 91 East at night. Every night, hundreds of cars cut in at the last minute at the connector to by-pass the long line of traffic.
    This creates a serious safety hazard, as they cut off cars and suddenly stop traffic in the North bound left two lanes.
    Your markings are ineffective. The solid white line needs to be moved back and more police patrols are needed during commute time.
    You need a better solution that what you proposed. We can’t wait years till you fix this problem. You created it – you fix it!
