Metro Opens A Line Extension to Pomona, Adding Four San Gabriel Valley Stations

The 9.1-mile, $1.5 billion build extends service to four San Gabriel Valley cities with a Metrolink transfer at Pomona North.

Overview

  • Revenue service begins at noon Friday following a morning ribbon-cutting at Pomona North featuring Metro leadership and local officials.
  • New stations are Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne/Pomona Fairplex and Pomona North, expanding access to colleges and the Fairplex.
  • Trains run every 8 minutes during weekday peaks, every 10 minutes off-peak and on daytime weekends, and every 20 minutes late hours, with a Union StationPomona trip of about 64 minutes.
  • The $1.5 billion project was delivered by the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority after major work starting in 2020 and was primarily funded by Measure M with additional Measure R and state grants.
  • A future extension toward Claremont/Montclair remains uncertain after SBCTA pulled funding, though the builder is advancing design work for a Claremont segment.
