Kapsch TrafficCom will support regional growth in San Bernardino County, California, by expanding the SB Express Lanes network.

Awarded by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), the contract focuses on relocating and integrating tolling equipment owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) to ensure system continuity as the region’s express lanes network expands.

With an estimated 370,000 more vehicles expected on county roads in the coming years, the SB Express Lanes are a key strategy to improve traffic flow for everyone. The express lane system on I-15 offers drivers the choice of a faster, more predictable trip, saving valuable time and reducing daily travel frustrations.

This section of I-15 is equipped with a full suite of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology, including toll traffic monitoring systems, closed circuit TV cameras, variable toll message signs, changeable message signs, and communications network.

The contract reflects SBCTA’s confidence in Kapsch TrafficCom’s proven expertise and reliability in ITS technology. Toll revenue generated from the new segment will be shared between San Bernardino and Riverside County, reinforcing regional collaboration and investment in smart mobility solutions.

SBCTA deputy director of express lanes, Phillip Chu, said: "This extension strengthens regional mobility for all travelers. Kapsch’s work relocating RCTC’s tolling equipment supports our broader effort to create a seamless express lanes experience across county lines. As our population grows, enhancing the reliability of our transportation network is essential for residents and commuters alike.”
