Project Need & Project Description
Purpose The purpose of this project is to upgrade the quality and accessibility of the
Eucalyptus Ave. and Atchison St./Bonnie View Dr. northbound bus stop located in
the City of San Bernardino. The project will add a boarding area between the current
sidewalk and the curb to provide a more navigable path between the bus and the
sidewalk, increase the space available for passengers on mobility devices, and
make the stop ADA-compliant. These improvements will greatly enhance the
experience for disabled or elderly passengers, which may result in increased
ridership.
The stop serves Omnitrans Route 15, which connects San Bernardino to Fontana,
Rialto, Highland, and Redlands. The stop is served by 15 buses per day. This bus
stop location is noted in Omnitrans' accessibility survey as needing ADA compliance
improvements.
The stop is located in a primarily residential area with a mix of single-family homes
and mobile homes. The El Dorado Mobile Home Park, Cypress Gardens Mobile
Home Park, Peppertree Mobile Home Park, and Acacia Villa Mobile Home Park are
all in the vicinity of the stop. Rialto High School is 0.4 miles from the stop.

Subject: Omnitrans Support for City of San Bernardino Application
2021 TDA Article 3 Transit Stop Access Improvements Program
Dear Ginger,
I write in support of the City of San Bernardino’s grant applications for 2021 TDA Article 3 Transit
Stop Access Improvement funds. The planned projects will improve ADA accessibility at five bus
stops by adding boarding areas between the curb and existing sidewalk. These improvements will
make the Omnitrans service more accessible for disabled or elderly passengers, which may result
in increased ridership.
These stops are located on Omnitrans Routes 2 and 15, connecting San Bernardino to Loma Linda,
Fontana, Colton, Highland, and Redlands. The five stops are served by a total of 77 buses and 8
passengers per day.
The upgrades will increase the access and quality of transit service for residents living in the
various apartment complexes and mobile home parks adjacent to these stops, as well as businesses
such as CVS, Great Clips, and Econo Auto Service, and schools such as Bob Holcomb Elementary
School and Kendall Elementary School. Two stops provide convenient access for students, staff,
and faculty at California State University, San Bernardino. Routes 2 and 15 provide direct service
to the San Bernardino Transit Center, which provides transit connections throughout the region.
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
