Ahead of the historic opening day, the Construction Authority again would like to thank the residents, businesses and students of Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne and Pomona for your patience and understanding over these past five years as this important project was completed.

PROJECT  FUNDING:

Project funding for the Glendora to Pomona project segment is mostly from Measure M; with additional funding from Measure R and the State of California Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (including funds from SB1).

The portion of the final 3.3-mile, two-station project segment within Los Angeles County, that includes the future Claremont Station, received $798 million from a state grant funded by SB125 in late 2024; while the portion within Montclair in San Bernardino County has $41 million from a 2018 state TIRCP grant and needs additional funding to move forward.
