Riverside Downtown Station Improvements Project

Riverside Downtown Station Improvements Project

Riverside County Transportation Committee (RCTC) in partnership with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Metrolink propose to improve the Riverside-Downtown Station, located in downtown Riverside, east of State Route 91. Proposed improvements include construction of an additional passenger loading platform and train tracks, extension of the existing pedestrian bridge, additional elevator and stair access, and expansion of the parking lot. These features would improve Metrolink service, train connections, and operations by allowing more reliable/on-time train service, providing equitable access to regional public transportation, and accommodating future train service. A No Build Alternative and one Build Alternative with six parking design options are under consideration.
