caption_attribution_description: With more than a little public transportation... It wasn't fun to be stuck in traffic more than 50 km from LA.
context_page_description: Many of the existing freeways in Southern California's Inland Empire were completed in the late 1970s. The only exception is the segment of the Foothill Freeway, State Route 210 between San Dimas and San Bernardino, completed in July 2007.
  In general, most of the higher paying jobs are located in Los Angeles and Orange County. Thus, workers must commute daily up to two hours on the existing network. As the population increases, traffic congestion is most certainly going to increase as well. Forbes magazine recently ranked the area first in its list of America's most unhealthy commutes, beating out every other major metropolitan area in the country, as Inland area drivers breathe the unhealthiest air and have the highest rate of fatal auto accidents per capita.
context_section_description: The Inland Empire is crossed by two interstates as well as several major state highways. Although major freeway construction was finished years ago (with exception of recent completion of SR 210 from Fontana to San Bernardino), growth in the region has strained the freeway system. As a result, several major projects have recently been completed or are underway on freeways throughout the region. Examples include the 60/215/91 interchange and widening of I-10 through Redlands as well as the currently ongoing widening of I-215 through downtown San Bernardino into the city's University District.
