This request is consistent with the intended and authorized purpose of 
the Federal Highway Administration Interstate Maintenance Discretionary

is providing 70% of the total cost of the project as a local match 
through the following funding sources: $9,800,000 from the City of 
Rancho Cucamonga Development Impact Fees; $6,200,000 from the Rancho 
Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency; $9,800,000 from San Bernardino County

  Account: Federal lands, Public Lands Highways
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: San Bernardino Associated 
Governments, CA
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1170 W. 3rd Street, 2nd Floor, San 
Bernardino, CA 92410-1715
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $1,500,000 for design 
and environmental mitigation for the I-15/I-215 Devore Interchange 
improvement project. 100% of the funding will be used for project 
development and environmental mitigation of the interchange which will 
eliminate truck weaving in the middle of a substantial grade, improving 
operational efficiency, safety and enhancing regional connectivity for 
commuters and freight movement operators traveling between Los Angeles

direction and provide truck bypass lanes around interchange merge 
zones, resulting in improved flow speeds through the Devore

request is consistent with the intended and authorized purpose of the 
Federal Highway Administration Public Lands Program, which does not
