Project Need & Project Description
Purpose Eligible Project Type: The proposed project includes the construction of a bus stop
pad at the existing bus stop location on Jurupa Avenue at Pacific Avenue
(westbound- near-side).
Project Need: This location, as well as other bus stops throughout the City, were
identified in Omnitrans' accessibility survey (conducted in 2020)as needing
improvements to meet Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) requirements. At this
bus stop, the curb is separated from the sidewalk by a strip of grass (see attached
photos -Attachment 1), thereby limiting access to and from the bus for persons with
disabilities. Minimum ADA requirements include a firm stable surface, an area that is
clear of obstructions and measures eight feet (perpendicular to the curb) by five feet
(parallel to the curb, connected to a pedestrian path or accessible walkway), and a
cross slope no greater than 2 percent. Modifications to this stop are needed to meet
these requirements.
Increased accessibility at this stop will allow more transit users to reach destination
points along this route which include Kaiser High School, Ontario Mills Mall, Toyota
Arena, and Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink.
For 2020, Jurupa at Pacific had a combined average daily boarding and alighting of
2.4 riders. This is significantly lower than average boarding/alighting for 2018 of 5.1
riders. This difference is attributable to the economic shutdown and unanticipated,
significant changes in work/school/shopping outings from March 2020 through
December 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The City expects that ridership
numbers will be more in line with 2018 numbers in the future as restrictions are
lifted. In addition, by improving accessibility at this bus stop, and others throughout
Fontana, the City aims to attract more ridership to its transit services.
Project Description: The City of Fontana is requesting$2,761 (detailed project
budget is attached—Attachment 2)to construct a bus stop pad at the existing bus
stop location on Jurupa Avenue at Pacific Avenue (westbound- near-side). The
transit stop access improvements at this location are shown on the attached
preliminary design exhibit (Attachment 3)and include: 1)Constructing a new 4-inch-
thick Portland cement concrete (PCC)sidewalk section between the existing curb
and sidewalk, 43 feet parallel to the curb and 5 feet perpendicular to the curb; and 2)
Modifying existing landscaping and irrigation. The combined width of the replaced
sidewalk and new PCC section connecting the sidewalk to the curb is 11 feet.
The project will be completed in compliance with the City of Fontana Standard Plan,
applicable ADA Accessibility Guidelines, and Health and Safety Code (Sections
18901 to 18949.6 of the State Building Standards Law). Additionally, the City owns
the right-of-way at the project site, therefore, no easement is required. The project
schedule is included as Attachment 4. Project completion is estimated to be
September 2022.

Subject: Fontana - Transit Access Improvements – SBCTA Grant Funding for Bus Stop Pads
Dear Mr. Kim:
I write in support of your grant application submittals to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA)
for funding under the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Call for Projects for Transit Stop Access Improvements.
Omnitrans fully supports the proposed construction of bus stop pads at existing bus stop locations along Omnitrans routes
that serve the City of Fontana, including the follow:
1. N. Cherry Avenue @ Live Oak Avenue (NB)
2. Foothill Boulevard @ Locust Avenue (EB)
3. Arrow Boulevard @ Oleander Avenue (EB)
4. Merrill Avenue @ Locust Avenue (WB)
5. Summit Avenue @ Falcon Ridge (WB)
6. Sierra Avenue @ Underwood Drive (NB)
7. Curtis Avenue @ Vanessa Way
8. Jurupa Avenue @ Pacific Avenue (WB)
9. Curtis Avenue @ Citrus Avenue (EB)
10. Jurupa Avenue @ Catawba Avenue (WB) and @ Hemlock Avenue (WB) (combined two stops)
These locations were identified in Omnitrans’ accessibility survey as needing improvements to meet Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. In addition to providing access for transit riders with disabilities, these
improvements will allow Omnitrans to add bus shelters and benches at the locations in the future.
Omnitrans is highly supportive of Fontana’s applications for funding of these needed access improvements. Please feel free
to contact me at (909) 379-7256 or anna.jaiswal@omnitrans.org if you need any additional information.

RE: Fontana ‐ Transit Access Improvements – SBCTA Grant Funding for Bus Stop Pads
Dear Ms. Jaiswal:
This letter is to inform you that the City of Fontana (City) is submitting grant applications
to the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for funding under their
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Call for Projects for Transit Stop Access
Improvements. This program was developed in recognition of the importance of providing
safe and accessible paths of travel to existing and proposed bus stop locations. Projects
that improve access to transit stops for pedestrians and persons with disabilities are a
priority.
The City is proposing constructing bus stop pads (connecting curbs to sidewalks) at the
following 11 Omnitrans existing bus stop locations:
1. N. Cherry Avenue @ Live Oak Avenue (NB)
2. Foothill Boulevard @ Locust Avenue (EB)
3. Arrow Boulevard @ Oleander Avenue (EB)
4. Merrill Avenue @ Locust Avenue (WB)
5. Summit Avenue @ Falcon Ridge (WB)
6. Sierra Avenue @ Underwood Drive (NB)
7. Curtis Avenue @ Vanessa Way
8. Jurupa Avenue @ Pacific Avenue (WB)
9. Curtis Avenue @ Citrus Avenue (EB)
10. Jurupa Avenue @ Catawba Avenue (WB) and @ Hemlock Avenue (WB) (combined
two stops)
Improvements at each of these locations will meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements and provide easier access for transit users with disabilities to enter or exit the
buses. I am hopeful the City's applications will be funded for these necessary and important
transit access projects.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Kim, P.E.
