4. Priority if Submitting Multiple Applications: 3
5. Project Category: "Small" ($250,000 or less) - $2,689,650 available
6. Clear Project Scope of Work
The City of Fontana will install new sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, and
ADA compliant driveways that will close existing gaps along the south side of
Upland Ave. as “suggested routes” for students attending Ted J. Porter
Elementary School.
7. Which type of project is being proposed? Pedestrian Improvement, Safe Routes
to School
8. Unless you are applying to create a Plan (in which case, skip to Question 10),
the proposed project MUST be included in SBCTA's Countywide Active
Transportation Plan (CATP). Select the CATP project in the map that best
represents the proposed project.
9. Verified project from CATP
Bike Path:
Sidewalk Path: OWEN ST
Point of Interest:
School: Porter Elementary
10. Optional: Enter any comments you wish to add.
In early 2025, the City completed the ATP SRTS Pedestrian Improvements on
Ramona, Alder, and Locust Avenue Project installing missing sidewalk, ADA
ramps, high-visibility crosswalks, traffic signs, and Class II bikeways near 2
schools. The proposed project will complement the new improvements.
Section B: Project Need & Purpose (30 points total)
11.A. List the destinations served. (5 points)
The sidewalk proposed will make active transportation feasible, enhance safety
and convenience for students and residents traveling to and from their
respective schools (Exhibit D). As part of the SRTS Project, the proposed
improvements will create designated pedestrian routes to Ted J. Porter Elem.
that is County Ranked #5 and City Ranked #2 in SBCTA’S Priority list (Exhibit B1,
B2, F). The proposed project is within a ¼ mile of a pedestrian facility connected
to the Pacific Electric Trail (Exhibit B1&B2). Additionally, it will link to a
contiguous bicycle path, providing access to Fernandez Park that is within a
mile. The Fontana Superior Court of California is also within a mile of the
proposed project, connected by a contiguous bicycle path on the Pacific Electric
Trail.
11.B. Upload a map showing destinations served.
12. Provide data to support future use of the proposed project. (5 points)
Per “Safe Routes Partnership”, we can assume an 18% increase of students
walking to school with new infrastructure improvements. Ted J. Porter Elem.
School had 629 students enrolled in the 24/25 School Year. The improvements
will generate roughly 113 more users. Per “Census,2023”, the population
increased from 6,982 to 6,945 in 2023. Per “CalEnviroScreen 4.0 Data”, this
region has an average 68% CalEnviroScreen Percentile indicating that the
census tract experiences a greater cumulative burden of pollution and
vulnerabilities. This data shows that 75.33% are Hispanic and 73% live in
poverty. The proposed project will benefit students traveling to/from Ted J.
Porter Elem. School (Exhibit D). According to the “2023-24 SARC”, there were
661 students, with 88.70% socioeconomically disadvantaged, 11.50% having
disabilities, and 1.10% being homeless, 89.90% Hispanic, 4.80% Black, 3.20%
White, 0.90% Asian, 0.30% Filipino, and 0.90% mixed races.
13. Enter "City Rank" according to SBCTA's Active Transportation Prioritization. (5
points)
2
Autofill score to be verified by SBCTA staff: 4
14.A. Describe how the project will improve student, cyclists, and/or pedestrian
safety. (5 points)
The City has received requests from residents urging the closure of the
sidewalk gaps since the completion of the ATP Project along Locust Avenue.
See Attachment A
There are no sidewalks north or south of the street. Residents expressed
concerns that the missing sidewalks prevent students, or those with mobility
challenges, from walking to/from school. As a result, pedestrians must divert to
walking in the street. Despite the low-speed signs, this can potentially cause an
accident. Closing the sidewalk gaps at the proposed project location will
provide a designated path of travel for students and residents and can
minimize the potential for future pedestrian collisions. From the “TIMS-
Transportation Injury Mapping System”, a 5-year (2020-2024) collision data
report was retrieved (Exhibit I). The exhibit shows a few pedestrian collisions
surrounding the proposed project areas. The availability of accessible sidewalk
pathways all around the area could possibility be why there are very few
accidents.
14.B. Upload 5-years' worth of the most recent collision data available from the UC
Berkeley's Transportation Injury Mapping System.
15. Explain the multimodal or transit system connectivity provided by this project.
(5 points)
The proposed project will provide a continuous and accessible connection to
OMNI Transit through sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Pedestrians will be able to
reach two different bus routes (312 & 14) from multiple directions, (Exhibit E).
The proposed project will connect to the Pacific Electric Trail. This trail travels
through the cities of Rialto, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland and
Montclair, and connects to the Cucamonga Creek Trail, Deer Creek Bike Path,
and San Sevaine Trail.
16. Attach other supporting documentation in a single .pdf. (5 points)
Sectoin C: Project Schedule/Readiness (15 points total)
17. Describe project readiness. (5 points)
The proposed project is in preliminary design phase. Exhibit K provides a
schedule to complete the project. A Notice of Exemption will be filed for CEQA
See Attachment B
See Attachment C
and a WQMP is not warranted. Residents have reached out to the city
regarding sidewalk gaps within the project area and the City has prioritized
their concerns. The City of Fontana is also recognizing SBCTA Planning Portal,
SB County ATP – Regional SRTS Plan Phase II & SBCTA’S CATP (2025) (Exhibit B1,
F, H1 & H2).
18. Has the agency delivered past projects on schedule as originally scoped? (5
points)
The City of Fontana has been successful in the delivery of past TDA grants
received. TDA grants received in 2021 were completed within a year before the
deadline. TDA grants received in 2023 are scheduled to finish within a year
before the deadline. The City has assembled a project team of highly qualified
Project Managers that can manage, facilitate, and deliver a successful project.
The same process and method will be used for this project.
19. What provisions does the agency have in place to ensure the facility will be
properly maintained? (5 points)
City of Fontana’s Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance
of the City’s streets and sidewalks. The City also monitors the City’s “Fontana
311” online application and may quickly increasing response times to concerns
and requests.
