Project Need & Project Description
Purpose The purpose of this project is to upgrade the quality and accessibility of the Lugonia
Ave. and University St. eastbound bus stop located in the City of Redlands. The
project will remove the existing concrete sidewalk and replace it with an ADA-

stop more accessible for disabled or elderly passengers, which may result in
increased ridership.
The stop serves Omnitrans Route 8, connecting Redlands to San Bernardino, Loma
Linda, and Crafton Hills College. The stop is served by 16 buses per day. This bus
stop location is noted in Omnitrans' accessibility survey as needing ADA compliance
improvements.
The stop is located in a residential area approximately'/ mile from the University of
Redlands campus. The University's pool, athletic fields, Memorial Chapel, School of
Education, and School of Music are all within '/2 mile from the stop. Residential
complexes near the stop include Palm Village, ReNew Redlands, Citrus Grove, and
Lugonia Fountain Mobile Estates. Approximately 'h mile west of the stop is a
shopping center containing a Walgreens store, Redlands Ranch Market, Arrowhead
Family Health Center, Sky Coin Laundry, Uncle Howie's Pizza, Cheliz Restaurant, a
barber, and a nail salon.

Subject: Omnitrans Support for City of Redlands Application
2021 TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Improvements Program
Dear Ginger,
I write in support of the City of Redlands’ grant applications for 2021 TDA Article 3 Transit Stop
Access Improvement funds within the City of Redlands. The planned projects will improve the
accessibility at ten bus stops by replacing landing areas and adjacent sidewalk approaches to
become ADA accessible.
These stops are located on Omnitrans Routes 8, 15, and 19, which connect Redlands to San
Bernardino, Loma Linda, Grand Terrace, Yucaipa, Colton, Fontana, and Highland. The stops are
serviced by a combined 178 buses and 39 passengers per day.
The upgrades will increase the access and quality of transit service to destinations such as the
University of Redlands, Redlands High School, Laramie Park, Arrowhead Family Health Center,
Redlands Ranch Market, the Esri campus, and the Redlands Village Shopping Center. Routes 8
and 15 provide direct service to the San Bernardino Transit Center.
Currently, one Omnitrans passenger within ½ mile from the Citrus Ave. and Grove St. stop is
eligible for Access paratransit service due to current ADA accessibility issues at stops. These
improvements would make the Omnitrans service more accessible for disabled or elderly
passengers, which may result in increased ridership.
Omnitrans is highly supportive of this project receiving TDA Article 3 grant funds. Please feel
free to contact me at (909) 379-7256 or anna.jaiswal@omnitrans.org if you need any additional
information.
Sincerely,
Anna Jaiswal
