Grant puts Metrolink extension on track REDLANDS – (INT) – An $8.6 million Federal Department of Transportation (USDOT) grant announced Thursday is being hailed as a major step toward bringing Metrolink service to the East Valley.
The 9-mile extension from San Bernardino to Redlands will be overseen by the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG). Congressman Pete Aguilar described the extension as an ‘important investment’ in the community. “It will help spur economic development, ease traffic congestion and pollution and will make daily transportation for San Bernardino County families safer and more efficient,” Aguilar said. “This new passenger rail service represents one of the solutions to the transportation challenges we face in a fast-growing region,” County Supervisor Robert Lovingood added.
