Regional Partners
The Transportation Demand Management Plan (TDM
Plan) provides a strategic approach for reducing single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips, improving mobility, and
supporting sustainability goals. It aligns with city, regional, and state policies, integrates with development review, and defines Moreno Valley’s partnerships with the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), the Riverside
Transit Agency (RTA), the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), and the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG). The purpose of the
Plan is to:
Provide a framework to
implement a program
to guide decisions and
investments to deliver TDM
strategies to City residents,
workers and visitors.
Establish roles,
responsibilities and
coordination between
City departments.
Identify opportunities to deliver strategies and
infrastructure that provides travel options and support mode shift away from single occupancy vehicle.
Identify opportunities to
collaborate with regional
partners and employers.
Establish metrics for
tracking success and
refining strategies
over time.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
II. NEEDS ASSESSMENT
An assessment of existing conditions and a literature review was conducted to understand the transportation context and agencies that provide TDM within and around Moreno Valley.
The analysis included key legislation, existing and future TDM strategies to influence travel behavior, and a review of TDM programs in peer cities.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Overview of Moreno Valley’s Transportation
Context
Moreno Valley is a rapidly growing community in Riverside County, California, strategically located along major transportation corridors and serving as a hub for regional commerce, education, and residential development. The city’s transportation system supports a diverse population of over 210,000 residents and numerous regional employers, including logistics centers, educational institutions, retail hubs, and healthcare facilities.
While the city benefits from existing transit and roadway infrastructure, its travel patterns are heavily dependent on SOVs, contributing to roadway congestion, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and a lack of travel choice for residents without access to a car. The baseline conditions assessment identified both strengths to build upon and critical gaps that the TDM Plan aims to address.

Travel Behavior & Mode Share
The review of available travel survey data, regional mode share statistics, and US Census American Community Survey (ACS) results shows:
HIGH SOV DEPENDENCY:
More than 80% of commuters travel
to work in a single-occupant vehicle.
LOW TRANSIT UTILIZATION:
Fewer than 3% of commuters use
public transit for work trips, despite
the presence of regional bus services.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION USAGE:
Less than 1% of trips are made by bicycle, with pedestrian trips primarily occurring for short distances within
residential neighborhoods or to local retail centers.
CARPOOL AND VANPOOL PARTICIPATION:
Roughly 10% of commuters use shared ride options, with
vanpool participation supported by the Inland Empire
Commuter program and employer incentives.

Transportation Network & Services
ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE:
• The city’s roadway network is dominated
by arterials and freeways, with State Route
60 (SR-60) and Interstate 215 (I-215)
providing regional connectivity.
• Congestion hotspots occur along key
arterials during peak commuting periods,
particularly near employment centers and
retail corridors.
TRANSIT SERVICES:
• RTA operates fixed-route bus service,
express commuter routes, and regional
connections to Metrolink stations.
• IE Commuter provides vanpool matching
and subsidy programs, but awareness and
participation in these services remain low.
BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN
INFRASTRUCTURE:
• The city has a network of multi-use trails
and bike lanes; however, connections
between residential areas, transit
stops, and major destinations are often
incomplete or lack adequate crossings.
• Pedestrian facilities vary in quality, with
some areas lacking continuous sidewalks,
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-
compliant curb ramps, and adequate
street lighting.
MICROMOBILITY & SHARED MOBILITY:
• Currently, there are no large-scale
micromobility programs (e.g., bike share or
scooter share) operating in Moreno Valley.
• Demand for micromobility services
is growing, especially in connecting
residential neighborhoods to transit stops,
shopping centers, and schools.

Current TDM Programs and Partnerships
Existing programs and partnerships in Moreno Valley provide a foundation for expanding TDM efforts. IE Commuter incentives offer free Metrolink passes, $5/day incentives, and vanpool subsidies to support employer-based TDM programs. While these benefits exist, the absence of a Guaranteed Ride Home program remains a barrier to wider adoption of transit and rideshare modes. Enterprise Vanpool serves as a successful vanpool model, particularly effective for military installations. The World Logistics Center has contributed to transit infrastructure by funding bus stops, expressed interest in formalizing contributions within the City’s TDM Plan, and secured a grant for e-bikes to support micromobility initiatives.
Opportunities for TDM Program Development
• Regional Coordination: Leverage partnerships with RCTC, RTA, WRCOG, and SCAG for funding, outreach, and technical assistance.
• Employer Programs: Expand participation in commuter benefits, vanpool subsidies, and telework policies.
• Infrastructure Investments: Target investments in mobility hubs, complete streets projects, and secure bike parking at key destinations.
• Equity-Focused Services: Ensure TDM strategies address the needs of low-income residents, seniors, students, and people with disabilities. • Marketing & Education: Develop a branded TDM program and website to consolidate resources and promote available services.
Moreno Valley TDM Plan 11
POLICY & PLANNING CONTEXT
A. The Moreno Valley 2006 General Plan, in Section 5.3 of the Circulation Element, states that the implementation of TDM strategies can be used to reduce peak hour trips, decrease non-attainment pollutants, and maintain mobility and access as the region continues to grow and prosper.
B. Policy 5-13 of the Moreno Valley 2006 General Plan recommends the implementation of TDM strategies that reduce congestion in the peak travel hours. Examples include carpooling, telecommuting, and flexible work hours.
C. Goal C-4 of the pending draft Moreno Valley 2040 General Plan is about providing convenient and safe connections within Moreno Valley. Policy C.4-1 recommends supporting the development of high-speed transit linkages and first/last mile solutions, connecting major destinations with the city and beyond, and including expanded Metrolink access. Policy C.4-2 recommends collaborating with employers and institutions to improve connectivity to major destinations (Downtown Center, the Moreno Valley Mall, the hospital complexes, Moreno Valley College, and the Lake Perris State Recreation Area). Policy C.4-3 recommends pursuing the establishment of a Transit Center/Mobility Hub “Downtown Center.” Policies C.4-4 and C.4-5 recommend requiring sidewalk infrastructure in new developments and improving pedestrian comfort and safety.
12 Moreno Valley TDM Plan
D. Goal C-5 of the pending draft Moreno Valley 2040 General Plan is about enhancing transportation operations and reducing vehicle miles travelled (VMT). Policy C.5-1 recommends reducing VMT through land use planning, enhanced transit access, and promoting non-automotive modes. Policy C.5-5 recommends en couraging employers to implement TDM strategies such as shared ride programs, parking cash-
out, transit benefits, telecommuting, and alternative work schedules. Action C.5-D recommends working with RTA and Metrolink to improve transit frequency, reliability, and access. Action 5-G recommends studying the feasibility of car-sharing programs and innovative tr
ansportation solutions.
E. SCAG’s Connect SoCal (2020–2045) allocates $7.3 billion for TDM strategies, emphasizing the reduction of SOV trips through ridesharing and first/last mile services, promoting telecommuting and alternative work schedules, and increasing the use of public transit, rail, bicycling, walking, and micromobility modes.
WRCOG TDM priorities include diversifying land use, improving pedestrian and bicycle networks, implementing traffic calming measures, encouraging telecommuting and alternative work schedules, and providing ride-share programs.
F. The Moreno Valley TDM Plan intends to reduce single-occupant vehicle trips by making it easier for people to choose transit, carpooling, biking, walking, or teleworking, supporting a more efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation system. The program will expand affordable and reliable travel options to help residents and workers get where they need to go, while reducing congestion and Improving air quality. Moreno Valley will work with regional partners and employers to provide flexible, connected travel options that save time, reduce costs, and strengthen our economy.

Peer City Review Key Findings
1. Mandates & Codes – Ordinances and zoning requirements create a consistent baseline but require compliance infrastructure.
2. Small Team Impact – Focused, well-supported teams can deliver strong results even with limited staff capacity.
3. Regional Collaboration – Partnerships with MPOs, transit agencies, and TMAs can leverage additional funding, tools, and outreach networks.
4. Performance Tracking – Mode shift, VMT reduction, and participation metrics should be embedded in program design from the outset.
5. Funding Flexibility – A combination of local revenue, regional funding, and grants enables both foundational programs and pilot innovations.
OUTREACH AND STAKEHOLDER INPUT
Outreach activities were
conducted with stakeholders
and the general public to obtain
input throughout the TDM Plan
development process. Outreach
activities primarily consisted
of virtual meetings and online
polls to identify needs, priorities,
and challenges related to
implementing TDM strategies, as
well as how the City’s proposed
TDM Plan can address these
issues.
Stakeholders such as large
employers and transportation
professionals expressed
enthusiasm for TDM strategies
that can support their existing
work and promote greater
awareness and collaboration for
supporting non-SOV travel. They
noted that a barrier to carpool
and vanpool usage can include a
lack of marketing or awareness,
which can be improved through increased employer-targeted information. Transit use was also seen as a prime beneficiary of improved information sharing, specifically about local transit stops and schedules.

Community input identified several areas and populations in Moreno Valley that lack convenient access to transportation options. Residents highlighted that the Senior Center lacks adequate parking for both cars and bicycles, limiting accessibility for older adults.
Students at Moreno Valley College noted that existing bike racks are damaged and insecure, and the entrance to the campus is difficult to navigate safely. School zones citywide were described as unsafe for active transportation, with parents often blocking unprotected bike lanes during pickup and drop-off times, deterring students from biking or walking. In neighborhoods such as Cottonwood Avenue, Perris Boulevard, and Redlands Boulevard, residents pointed out the absence of sidewalks and protected bike lanes, forcing pedestrians to walk near traffic and discouraging non-vehicle travel. Those living in the northern part of the city reported limited access to nearby services, noting that basic errands require driving across town due to the lack of a centralized, walkable commercial area. Public transit was described as inconsistent and inaccessible in parts of Hidden Springs and Ironwood Avenue near Welby Place, where bus stops have been removed or are missing entirely. Community members also expressed a desire for clearer transit information, such as a mobile app and long-term investments in infrastructure to support walking, biking, and public transit use. 16 Moreno Valley TDM Plan
TAKEAWAYS FOR MORENO VALLEY
Barriers to TDM Participation
Several barriers limit TDM participation in Moreno Valley. Land use and demographics result in travel patterns that are heavily dependent on vehicular travel, and prevailing commutes take place in SOVs. Many employers and employees are unaware of existing programs and incentives, while carpool and vanpool services often fail to accommodate flexible work schedules. Concerns about being stranded without a guaranteed ride home discourage employees from trying alternative modes. Security restrictions at March Air Force Base further limit shared transportation options. Additionally, the prevalence of free and abundant parking reduces motivation for mode shift, and the City’s challenging topography poses safety and comfort issues for bicycling.
Opportunities for Increasing TDM Uptake
Opportunities exist to significantly increase TDM participation through targeted strategies.
TDM strategies, such as promotion of carpools, vanpools, and e-bike adoption can deliver practical and cost-effective solutions to reduce use of SOVs. Programs should be simplified, easy to access, and promoted through marketing that emphasizes flexibility and convenience.
Free pilot programs can encourage trial and early adoption of new services. Tailored marketing strategies using the City’s magazine, mailers, and social media platforms can reach diverse demographic groups. Support for e-bike adoption, leveraging both growing popularity and available grant funding, can strengthen micromobility options. Finally, improving bicycle facilities and amenities, such as bike share programs and partnerships with gyms to provide commuter showers, can make active transportation a more viable choice.

V. PERFORMANCE MONITORING
& EVALUATION
This chapter outlines how Moreno Valley will monitor, measure, and evaluate progress toward its TDM goals. Performance tracking covers multiple dimensions of program success, including stakeholder roles and responsibilities for data management, participation and employer engagement, program funding, travel behavior outcomes, marketing reach, and delivery of supporting facilities. Together, these measurements establish a consistent framework for understanding program activity, documenting outcomes, evaluating investment decisions, and guiding ongoing refinement of TDM strategies.
Clear expectations for monitoring and reporting will support transparency, improve accountability, and help the City and its partners continuously enhance TDM program performance. As discussed in the review of peer cities TDM programs, strong employer partnerships with compliance reporting are critical to obtain data to monitor and evaluate programs. Performance metrics enable staff to evaluate how program activities are advancing broader TDM goals and demonstrate the value of TDM strategies to potential partners and funders.
It should be recognized that additional tracking or reporting requirements may be necessary to satisfy future grant agreements or specific funding programs. The metrics recommended in this plan are not intended to meet all potential funding criteria, and program staff may need to augment these measures as new opportunities and reporting obligations arise.

TYPES OF MEASURES
This section identifies the primary types of measures recommended for tracking TDM implementation in Moreno Valley. Each measurement type reflects a different dimension of TDM success, from employer enrollment and commuter incentives to multimodal trips, outreach performance, and the construction of supporting facilities.
Participation
Reporting
Participation measures evaluate how
employers, residents, and commuters
are actively involved in TDM programs
and services across Moreno Valley. These
measures help illustrate program reach,
enrollment, demand, and show how
successfully TDM strategies are being
adopted in practice.
Additionally tracking participation over time
also can highlight growth, retention, and
behavior shifts supported by the program’s
goals and outcomes.
METRICS FOR EVALUATIONS:
• Employers enrolled or participating
individuals registered or enrolled in
programs
• Carpool and vanpool matches created
• Counts of employees receiving tax
benefits
• Total participants in subsidies or incentive
programs
• Participant/User Survey Results

Alone
Carpool
Walk
Bike
Public Transit
Uber, Lyft, etc.
52 Moreno Valley TDM Plan
Funding
Funding measures capture the amount
of financial and organizational resources
obtained to support TDM implementation,
incentives, and staffing capacity. Tracking
funding helps assess program sustainability,
competitiveness for grants, and the ability
to build long-term TDM infrastructure. These
measures also illustrate the capacity to
invest into the program to deliver strategies
to residents, employees and visitors.
METRICS FOR EVALUATIONS:
• Program funding secured (local, state,
federal)
• Grants awarded or approved
• Program staffing levels dedicated to TDM
delivery
• Incentives, vouchers or cash-outs
distributed or redeemed
VMT Reduction
VMT reduction measures quantify the effect
of TDM participation on travel behavior,
including shifts away from single-occupant
vehicle trips. These measures demonstrate
how carpools, vanpools, transit use, and
other sustainable modes reduce total vehicle
miles traveled in the community. Tracking
VMT outcomes supports performance
reporting, emissions reduction analysis, and
long-term mode shift monitoring.
METRICS FOR EVALUATIONS:
• VMT reductions from carpools and
vanpools
• SOV trips shifted or reduced
• Total VMT reduced through TDM
participation5 million vehicle trips avoided
IMPACTS OF TDM
A SCORECARD IS A GREAT TOOL TO ILLUSTRATE
THE IMPACT OF THE TDM PROGRAM.
2 million gallons of gas saved 60 million commute miles reduced 50,000 alternative transportation
users supported
50 million pounds of Carbon
dioxide (C02) release prevented
That’s over 80,000 days not
spent driving a car
It would take almost 300 tanker
trucks to hold that much gas
That’s roughly 22,000 trips from
San Francisco to New York
If all those users drove single-
file, the traffic jam would stretch
140 miles
That reduction would require
4,000 homes not using
electricity for a year

Marketing & Travel
Resources
Marketing and resource measures track how TDM
information and tools are accessed, distributed, and used by local employers, commuters, and residents. These measures show program visibility, awareness, and the effectiveness of digital resources such as websites and travel planning tools.
Monitoring outreach participation also helps identify new partners and gaps in communication or education.
METRICS FOR EVALUATIONS:
• Website visits or trip-planning tool usage
• Employers and individuals reached through outreach
• Number of pledge program enrollments, recognition
awards
• Toolkits, guides, or resource packets delivered or
downloaded
Facilities & Infrastructure
Facility measures reflect the multimodal improvements
delivered through TDM planning and design, including
amenities, service access, and active transportation facilities.
These measures help demonstrate tangible outcomes
such as new bike lanes, mobility hubs, shelters, or shuttle service expansions. Tracking facility investments over time confirms whether programs are translating into real-world infrastructure that supports sustainable travel.
• New or upgraded facilities (bike parking, shelters, end-of- trip amenities)
• Miles of new bicycle lanes or separated facilities
• Shuttle routes or service miles operated

Growth Mid-
term strategies
(3-6 Years)
Focus: Expanding Programs, Establishing
Presence, and broaden external
partnerships/participants.
Between Years 3 and 6, the City should
evaluate the performance of early TDM
activities, refine them based on user
feedback, and expand programming through
employer-driven initiatives and targeted
incentives. With partnerships established
and early adoption outcomes documented,
the program can begin to introduce higher-
value offerings into their programs such
as increasing e-bike subsidies, parking
management tools, growing employer
policy toolkits, and facility planning
guidance support. This phase prioritizes
supporting employers and institutions as
direct program partners, enabling them to
implement tailored incentives and internal
transportation policies that reinforce
mode shift and improve access for their
employees. During this period, the City
should continue to monitor outcomes, adjust
program elements, and scale strategies that
demonstrate the strongest performance.
MID-TERM STRATEGIES (3-6 YEARS)
• Promote Commuter Tax Benefits
• Support E-Bike Subsidy / Voucher
• Host / Co-Host Organizational Recognition
• Offer Clean Commute Incentives
• Employer Sustainability Pledge Program
• Support Safe Routes to School / Commute

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
62 Moreno Valley TDM Plan
Ill
SUMMARY
The Moreno Valley Transportation Demand Management Plan provides a comprehensive and coordinated framework to guide the City’s multimodal vision, shape travel behavior, and support more efficient, sustainable, and accessible transportation choices for residents and workers. The Plan begins with a clear purpose statement and a description of why TDM is essential for meeting community mobility needs, economic development goals, and long- term sustainability objectives (Chapter I). The Needs Assessment (Chapter II) evaluates existing conditions, planning context, peer practices, public input, and Moreno Valley’s multimodal opportunities and constraints. These findings establish a data-driven foundation for the Plan and identify the strengths, challenges, and opportunities that shape the City’s TDM direction.
Building on this understanding, the Vision and Goals chapter (Chapter III) defines a unified mission statement and eight core program goals that frame Moreno Valley’s approach to commuter support, multimodal access, vehicle miles traveled reduction, and partnership development. These goals provide clear direction and performance expectations for program delivery. The Strategies and Measures chapter (Chapter IV) translates the vision into 22 actionable program strategies supported by web tools, employer partnerships, marketing and outreach, mobility services, and infrastructure improvements. These strategies represent a balanced mix of near-term actions, pilot programs, and long-term system enhancements that can be scaled over time.
As implementation begins, the City can prioritize early strategies, build internal and external partnerships, and apply for federal, state, and regional funding to launch TDM initiatives.
The Plan provides clear mechanisms for performance tracking, enabling Moreno Valley to evaluate participation, measure multimodal outcomes, and refine programs based on demonstrated results. By following the roadmap established in this Plan, Moreno Valley can systematically build organizational capacity, expand program offerings, and improve multimodal access throughout the community. Over time, the City is positioned to strengthen mobility choices, reduce congestion, enhance employer support, and advance broader sustainability and economic development goals.
