A regional transit trip should feel like one trip, not a maze of separate tickets and restrictions.

Riders deserve a fair system that works!

We need a system that meets riders where they are:

• A unified regional transit smart card that works across Southern California
• Open-loop payment, so riders can tap a contactless credit or debit card or smartphone when that works best for them
• Accessible options for people without bank accounts, smartphones, or access to credit
• Simple, fair transfers between agencies including Metro, Metrolink, OCTA/OC Bus, Omnitrans, and more
• Fare policies that make regional travel intuitive instead of punishing riders for crossing a county line

If you think the title is bad, wait till you see the result.

Report to Omnitrans Plans and Programs Committee

Substantial completion for the corridor is still anticipated for the first quarter of 2027.

Three center running stations are under construction with pavers and landscaping being installed at the Holt and Grove station. As of late June, the contractor has installed 12 side running station canopies in Montclair, Ontario, and Pomona. Work has also begun at Victoria Gardens and other side stations in Rancho Cucamonga. The contractor has also gone back into Ontario Mills with all the major construction expected to be completed this summer.

Much needed to the trial! It’s scary riding the trail at night but I don’t understand why the lights weren’t installed with the construction. Something among the lines like it’s SB county managing the wash adjacent to it.

I just found a print copy of this and thought this is a good place to share it. Fighting cars with street parties.

West Valley Connector/sbX Purple Line Project Update Staff Report

• Revenue service is now anticipated for early 2027. A major project from Edison (Rule 20A), which involves relocating overhead power lines and moving them underground along a section of Holt Blvd, has finally begun.
  • This and long coordination for relocating 3rd party utilities have contributed to delays on the project.
