Turned down three times, the fourth may be the charm for Pomona-to-Claremont and Montclair light-rail.
The future Pomona light-rail station is located west of Garey Avenue and east of Fulton Road, northeast of the existing Pomona North Metrolink station. The light rail station is the last one in phase 2B of the A Line extension, set to be completed in January 2025. The state on July 8, 2024 allocated about $500 million for the next leg, to Claremont and Montclair. That will be the first LA Metro train to reach San Bernardino County.
The construction contract award is set for spring 2025. The five-year project should be completed by 2030, said Habib Balian, CEO of the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority on Monday, July 8. The A line, like most L.A. Metro light-rail lines, has waits that range from between 8 minutes to 15 minutes. The regular fare is $1.75, with reduced fares for seniors, disabled, low-income riders and free fares for K-14 students.
Extending the light-rail line into Montclair would take about 15,000 car trips off the roads each day and reduce 26.7 million vehicle miles travelled annually, eliminating 1.75 metric tons of carbon emissions that add to global climate change. The project would create 5,500 jobs and generate $860 million in economic output as well as $13 million in tax revenues, the Authority reported.
