Metrolink

RCTC is one of five transportation commissions throughout Southern California that comprise the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, commonly called Metrolink.

Completed

Metrolink is one of the nation’s most successful commuter rail services and provides daily transportation to more than more than 15,000 passengers on the three lines that serve Riverside County: The Riverside Line, the 91 Line, and the Inland Empire-Orange County Line.

Rail service was an important component of voter-approved Measure A and Riverside County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation pays for rail capital costs. RCTC owns five rail stations located in Downtown Riverside, La Sierra, Pedley, West Corona, and North Main Corona.

For ten years, RCTC operated the popular Beach Train service connecting the Inland Empire to Orange and San Diego counties. Now the service, called Metrolink Weekends, is year round with both Saturday and Sunday service.

Future Projects

The Perris Valley Line is RCTC’s next major rail project, and will extend Metrolink along the I-215 corridor to serve southern portions of western Riverside County. Stops are planned for UCR, Moreno Valley, and Perris where RCTC and the Riverside Transit Agency will construct a multi-modal bus-rail transit center.
