Project Need & Project Description
Purpose The purpose of this project is to upgrade the quality and accessibility of the Kendall
Dr. and Lakewood Dr. eastbound 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 2, which provides a link between California State
University, San Bernardino, downtown, and Loma Linda. 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 the University area of San Bernardino and is surrounded by
single-family and apartment housing as well as retail businesses. California State
University, San Bernardino is 1.1 miles north of the stop, thus the stop's location is
ideal for students, staff, and faculty who might use Route 2 to access the campus.
Housing complexes in the area include Silver Ridge Condominiums, Sunrise
Apartments, and Mountain Gate Apartments. Also within a '/z mile walk from the stop
are Bob Holcomb Elementary School and Lionel E. Hudson Park. Businesses in the
area include 7-Eleven, Baker's Drive-Thru, Family Fish Market, and Dollar Plus
Mart.

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
