Overview

• The 9.1-mile addition from Azusa to Pomona opened Friday with stations in Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne/Fairplex and Pomona North.
• Metro schedules about 8-minute peak headways and estimates a Union Station–to–Pomona trip of just over an hour on what it calls the world’s longest light-rail line at nearly 58 miles.
• The project cost roughly $1.5 billion, funded primarily by L.A. County’s Measure M, with support from Measure R and a nearly $300 million state Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program grant.
• New stops link to Foothill Transit routes and Metrolink’s San Bernardino Line at Pomona North, expanding access to about 19 colleges and the Pomona Fairplex, a 2028 Olympic cricket venue.
• Built by the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority and turned over to Metro after on-time, on-budget substantial completion in January, the extension is the ninth project finished in Metro’s Twenty-Eight by ’28 plan.
