You have a road and you want it repaired or improved! What do you do?

You live on or near a road in need of repairs and/or improvements and you are not sure what you can do about it. This web page has been prepared to answer this question.

The Transportation Department is responsible for the repair and maintenance of approximately 2600 miles of roads located within the unincorporated areas of Riverside County. Requesting repairs for road segments that are part of the 2600 mile County Maintained Road System is relatively simple and can be accomplished in the following ways:

If the requested repairs are located on a road segment within the County Maintained Road System, then the repair request will be added to our repair scheduling data base.

But what if the requested repair is on a road segment that is not in the County Maintained Road System? What then? The answer to this question is far more complex.

The ability of the Transportation Department to provide services on these roads is limited by current legislation and regulations. In other words, it is generally against the law to use the Transportation Department's public funds for the purpose of providing roadway maintenance or improvements on roads that are not in the County Maintained Road System. This does not necessarily mean that you are without help. The County can provide assistance in limited ways. As stated above, issues related to providing service and support for these road segments is more complex.

In an effort to clarify our support options, we have prepared a brochure that answers most of the common questions regarding what we can do to help in these circumstances.
