Omnitrans to Host Public Meetings for Proposed Route Changes in 2018-2019

March 13, 2018

Omnitrans has proposed routing and scheduling modifications to several routes later in 2018 and 2019. Because these changes impact you, our route planning team will be holding public meetings in April to obtain your valuable feedback.
Up for discussion are a wide spectrum of proposals including:

• Adding Saturday service on sbX in San Bernardino and Loma Linda with a corresponding reduction on local Route 2 weekend service
• Modifying Route 14 service in Downtown San Bernardino to reduce duplication, improve transfer connections, and improve on-time performance
• Extending Route 83 service in Upland to include a loop to better serve the Colonies Crossroads
• Rerouting Route 86 service in Ontario to serve Bon View Avenue including the Dorothy A Quesada Community Center and Baldy View Regional Occupation Program (Baldy View ROP) instead of Campus Avenue between Francis Avenue and Mission Avenue – click here for map of proposed rerouting
• Eliminating the regular acceptance of pennies as a form of payment on board
• Adding the ability to purchase 10-packs of single-ride fares on the mobile payment platform

These proposed changes are part of Omnitrans’ continuous efforts to meet the needs and priorities of our passengers and evolve as our communities grow. Additionally, Omnitrans is seeking funds to install racks that hold three bikes instead of two on all of our buses, as well as secure bicycle parking at transit centers. Tell us what you think!
