Section B: Project Need & Purpose (30 points total)
11.A. List the destinations served. (5 points)
The proposed SRTS improvements serve nine schools including Werner
Elementary and Rialto Middle (adjacent locations), Preston Elementary and
Eisenhower High along Willow Avenue, Curtis Elementary connecting to Merrill
Avenue network, Boyd Elementary, Rialto High (highest walking percentage at
32%), and Dunn/Dollahan Elementary on Etiwanda Avenue. Major retail
destinations include Walmart plaza with restaurants across from Eisenhower
High, Superior Grocers and CVS on Baseline Road, and El Super plaza with
Planet Fitness near Curtis Elementary. Healthcare facilities including dental and
urgent care serve vulnerable communities. Transit connections via Omnitrans
Routes 10 and 15 provide citywide access. The warehousing complex offers
employment opportunities, while connections to Pacific Electric Trail Extension
and Cactus Avenue bike lanes enhance network connectivity.
11.B. Upload a map showing destinations served.
12. Provide data to support future use of the proposed project. (5 points)
The project will serve a diverse and substantial population with documented
need for enhanced pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. Rialto maintains a
current population of approximately 103,391 to 104,026 residents according to
2023-2024 (Census, 2023), with an average age of 31 years, indicating a
younger demographic that benefits significantly from active transportation
infrastructure improvements. The project's primary service area encompasses
the Rialto Unified School District, which serves 25,454 students across 29
schools, with approximately 24,132 students in grades K-12 who will directly
benefit from the proposed improvements. (RUSD, 2025)

14.A. Describe how the project will improve student, cyclists, and/or pedestrian
safety. (5 points)
To improve student safety, the project includes new sidewalks at Dunn
Elementary to eliminate students walking in travel lanes, high-visibility
crosswalks at all schools, and a midblock crosswalk with RRFBs at Preston
Elementary addressing a documented jaywalking collision. ADA-compliant
signal modifications will enhance accessibility for disabled students. Cyclist
safety improvements include Class II bike lanes on Rialto Avenue addressing 3
See Attachment A
of 8 bicycle collisions in the project area, red curb markings to prevent parking
conflicts, and protected facilities separating cyclists from traffic. Pedestrian
safety features include speed feedback signs, enhanced school zone signage,
advanced yield lines at crosswalks, and ADA-compliant signal modifications at
key intersections.
14.B. Upload 5-years' worth of the most recent collision data available from the UC
Berkeley's Transportation Injury Mapping System.
15. Explain the multimodal or transit system connectivity provided by this project.
(5 points)
The project connects to Omnitrans Routes 10 (Baseline Road) and 15 (Merrill
Avenue), providing first-last mile transit access. New Class II bike lanes link to
Pacific Electric Trail Extension and Cactus Avenue facilities, creating continuous
multimodal corridors. ADA improvements ensure universal access. Connections
serve schools, employment centers, retail destinations, and residential
communities, benefiting transit-dependent populations including seniors and
students.
16. Attach other supporting documentation in a single .pdf. (5 points)
Sectoin C: Project Schedule/Readiness (15 points total)
