Federal Transit Administration West Valley San Bernardino County Transportation Authority
Overview
The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority in California has implemented a bus rapid transit system in a 19-mile corridor from Pomona to Rancho Cucamonga. Currently called the West Valley Connector bus rapid transit, the project includes purchasing 60′ articulated vehicles, 22 new stations, a vehicle maintenance facility, and transit signal priority. The Authority sought almost 30% of the total capital cost from the Small Starts Program.
