Moreno Valley / March Field Station Improvements
Status: Pre-Construction
Location: Moreno Valley/March Field Station, Riverside
Type of Project: Station Improvement
Location: Moreno Valley/March Field Station, Riverside
Construction: Began in October 2022 and completed July 2025
Investment: $38 million
OVERVIEW
The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), in partnership with the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink), upgraded the Moreno Valley/March Field Station in Riverside. This station serves Metrolink’s 91/Perris Valley Line and is the midpoint between the Perris-Downtown Station and the Riverside-Downtown Station. RCTC was the lead agency for this project.
Project benefits and features include:
- Capacity: Added a second train platform and lengthened the existing train platform to accommodate the length of Metrolink’s standard six-car trains. This will allow for service improvements on the 91/Perris Valley Line — both peak service and reverse commute service to and from adjacent counties — as well as improved service reliability within Riverside County. The project also upgraded 2.5 miles of track that are part of a future nine-mile double-track corridor south of the station.
- Traffic Flow: Reducing traffic congestion on Interstate 215 by providing efficient and reliable public transit options for Riverside County residents who have some of the longest commutes in southern California.
- Clean Air: Reducing auto emissions by encouraging more residents to commute by train.
Construction began in October 2022 and was completed July 2025. Project funding was provided by a combination of sources, including Measure A, the twice voter-approved half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements in Riverside County, and a $32 million Federal Transit Administration grant.
Construction began in fall 2022 and was completed July 2025.
