Rancho Cucamonga station in Rancho Cucamonga, California serves the Metrolink San Bernardino Line commuter rail. With the under construction Brightline high-speed rail and a potential underground tunnel project to Ontario International Airport, local officials expect increased tourism and economic growth for the Inland Empire.[4] The station is owned by the City of Rancho Cucamonga and is near the former Empire Lakes Golf Club. It is located just west of Milliken Avenue and has 330 parking spaces.

Current services

[edit]
Omnitrans Route 380 (ONT Connect) provides regular bus service to Ontario International Airport from Rancho Cucamonga Station.

Rancho Cucamonga station is served by 36 Metrolink San Bernardino Line trains (18 in each direction) each weekday, running primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel. This station is also served by an express train that operates once in each direction on weekdays. Weekend service consists of 16 trains (8 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, evenly spaced throughout the day.[5]

Omnitrans routes 82 and 380 serve a bus loop near the train platform. Route 380, also called ONT Connect, provides non-stop service between the station and Ontario International Airport and meets every train.[6] It operates daily, every 35 to 60 minutes.[7][8]

Brightline West

[edit]

Brightline West service is planned at the site.[9][10] Brightline purchased an adjacent 5-acre (2.0 ha) parcel for the high speed rail station in 2022.[11]

Future Airport people mover

[edit]

The city is designing this as a multi-modal station as part of a new transit district.[12] A proposed 2.8 miles (4.5 km) underground people-mover would provide a link to the Ontario International Airport.[9]
