  • Aviation & Airport Ground Access
    TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS TECHNICAL REPORT ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION 2 REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE 3 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 18 ANALYTICAL APPROACH 19 EXISTING CONDITIONS 23 STRATEGIES 31 NEXT STEPS 36 CONCLUSION 40 REFERENCES 41 TECHNICAL REPORT AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 connectsocal.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The SCAG region is home to seven commercial airports with scheduled passenger service, seven government/military air fields, and over 30 reliever Aviation and Airport and general aviation airports. On a daily basis, the region’s airports provide service to hundreds of thousands of air passengers, and thousands of tons of cargo. Moreover, the airports in the SCAG region employ approximately 60,000 Ground Access people onsite. Therefore, thousands of passengers, employees, and goods are traveling the region’s roads, highways, and transit systems to get to and from the airports. As a metropolitan planning organization (MPO), SCAG does not have any regulatory, developmental, operational, or planning authority over the airports. Rather, SCAG is primarily a regional surface transportation planning agency that maintains a list of airport ground access projects and a consultative relationship with the airports. Therefore, SCAG is focused on air and passenger cargo activity from the perspective of how the traffic coming and going from the airports affects the region’s roads, highways, and transit system. One critical aspect of SCAG’s role in aviation systems and transportation planning is the Aviation Element of the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020 RTP/SCS) (Connect SoCal).

  • Environmental Setting 2
    2.0 Environmental Setting 2 Chapter 2 Environmental Setting 2.1 Planning Context 2.1.1 Project Location The city of Moreno Valley (city) is located within the northwestern portion of Riverside County in the southern Inland Empire portion of the state of California. Moreno Valley is located approximately 63 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, 49 miles east of the city of Irvine, and 43 miles west of the city of Palm Springs. State Route 60 (SR-60), which runs in an east and west direction through the northern portion of Moreno Valley (east and west direction), and Interstate 215 (I-215), which runs in proximity to the westerly city limits (north and south direction), serve to connect the city to other communities throughout the southern California region. The city is accessible via public transportation by rail, through Metrolink located approximately one-half mile west of the city limits, and the city is accessible via aircraft at the Inland Port Airport located at the March Air Reserve Base (MARB), which is situated south and west of the city limits. The city’s picturesque valley setting is bounded to the north by the Box Springs Mountains, the Badlands to the east, and the mountains of the Lake Perris Recreation Area, Mystic Lake floodplain, and San Jacinto Wildlife Area to the south. The city is also bounded by MARB to the southwest and the city of Riverside to the west. Moreno Valley is a diverse and growing community of approximately 207,000 people.
