The Need for On-TRAC
Highway 101 is now heavily congested within Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
As housing costs have skyrocketed in both counties, the distance between jobs and housing has also increased as employees search for more affordable home ownership away from places of employment. As a result, Highway 101, a lifeline for commuters, has also become more and more congested, increasing the commute time.
As improvements to Highway 101 commence over the next two decades, delays caused by construction will become even more unbearable. Compounding the issue, ever climbing gas prices are making commuting by car unaffordable. All these factors are contributing to difficult times for businesses to hire and retain employees.
Both counties need faster, more affordable commute alternatives to maintain the workforce base. On-TRAC provides the strategy necessary to get there.
