First/Last Mile Toolkit
Cityworks Design developed a Station Connectivity Toolkit for the Metrolink Station Planning and Connectivity Enhancement Implementation Plan (June 2023). The plan was developed in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to identify and propose recommendations to remove barriers to accessing Metrolink stations through integrated strategies and pilot projects. The toolkit provides Metrolink’s partners with a clear framework for implementing First/Last Mile (FLM) tools at stations across the Metrolink system that will support transit ridership, safer travel, and reduce auto dependency.
Nexus Study
The Nexus Strategies Memo was a component of the larger Metrolink Pomona Valley Study that identified specific improvements to Metrolink’s systems based on market segments and planned economic development in the Pomona Valley. Five San Bernadino Line stations were considered: Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Montclair, Claremont and Pomona North. Each station was evaluated in terms of regional goals for aligning land use plans/policies with transportation objectives, including steps Metrolink could pursue to maintain and grow their regional rail services. Development of the Memo allowed Metrolink and the Pomona Valley cities to refocus local strategies, work towards achieving local economic development goals, and hopefully realize the Valley’s full potential when land use designations and transportation choices are indelibly tied.
