As public transit provider to one of the fastest-growing
regions in the nation, Omnitrans' success depends upon its
ability to plan for the future. Here are a few of the new programs
and
future directions for Omnitrans...
- sbX: Bus Rapid Transit
Parsons Transportation Group Inc. of Ontario, California was awarded a $14.7 million contract for the E Street sbX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor Project, Development Phase. The project includes transit planning, public relations, architectural and engineering, environmental clearance, preliminary engineering and final design. The enhanced rapid transit service will travel on the E Street corridor in the cities of San Bernardino and Loma Linda. For more information, please read:
- Omnitrans Official Bus Stop Guidelines
The purpose of the guidelines is to develop suggested design criteria that should be considered when designing and placing transit facilities. The goal of the guidelines is to provide comfortable and convenient high quality facilities at bus stop locations, while considering the operational needs of Omnitrans, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and public safety. These guidelines are intended for use by city planners, designers, traffic engineers, developers, and other public officials, and define the responsibilities of the local jurisdictions, and Omnitrans staff in the provision of transit facilities to the public.

- Chino-Ontario Community Based Transportation Plan
The Chino-Ontario Community-Based Transportation Plan project is being undertaken by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and will focus on a portion of the former San Bernardino County Agricultural Preserve annexed by the cities of Chino and Ontario. This area is generally bounded by Riverside Drive to the north, Euclid Avenue to the west and the county boundary lines on the east and south. The City of Chino’s portion of the former agricultural preserve will be developed in accordance with “The Preserve Specific Plan,” also known as “The Preserve,” while the City of Ontario’s portion of the former agricultural preserve will be developed in accordance with “The City of Ontario Sphere of Influence General Plan,” more commonly known as the “New Model Colony.”
This project provides a unique opportunity to incorporate transit planning into new communities.
