Omnitrans is a public transportation agency in San Bernardino County, California, United States. The largest transit operator within San Bernardino County, it serves the San Bernardino Valley.[1] The agency was established in 1976 through a joint powers agreement[1] and today includes 15 cities and portions of the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County. In addition to the southwestern corner of San Bernardino County, Omnitrans provides service to parts of Riverside and Los Angeles Counties. Omnitrans currently carries about 11 million passengers per year. Omnitrans currently operates fixed route bus service, bus rapid transit and a paratransit service for the disabled, “OmniAccess.” Omnitrans operates throughout the urbanized area of southwestern San Bernardino County: south of the San Bernardino Mountains, from Upland, Montclair, and Chino in the west to Redlands, California and Yucaipa in the east. The Omnitrans service area covers approximately 480 square miles (1,200 km2).[1]

In 2024, the system had a ridership of 7,231,100 or about 25,300 per weekday as of the third quarter of 2025.

History

[edit]

In October 2019, Omnitrans faced increasing deficits and reduced service. They plan to cut service by 11 percent. They were the operator for the Arrow commuter rail service between San Bernardino and Redlands. the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Transit Committee voted to transfer the operation and construction duties to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority.[7]

The Transit Committee, announced that it would launch a study considering “complete consolidation” of Omnitrans under the SBCTA due to a $520 million fiscal deficit over the next 20 years.[8][9] However, in 2021, SBCTA decided against the consolidation of Omnitrans due to the results of a commissioned study. That indicated, that due to state law, SBCTA was required to pay off the agency's unfunded pension liability, at a one-time cost of between $100 million to $174 million.[10] Instead SBCTA opted to provide $100 million to Omnitrans to keep it viable through 2040.[11]

On February 27, 2020, it was announced that Omnitrans placed a new order for four forty-foot, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE™ heavy-duty transit buses.[12]

On March 1, 2023, the Omnitrans Board of Directors approved the purchase of four new Flyer Fuel Cell buses.[13]

Former Services

[edit]
[edit]

Omnitrans formerly operated OmniLink, a demand-response service that operated in Yucaipa and Chino Hills. OmniLink ceased operation August 29, 2014.[14]

SBConnect

OmniTrans formerly operated the SBConnect, a service funded by the SBCTA. This was a first/last mile shuttle from the San Bernardino Transit Center looping around the civic center serving the nearby San Bernardino County Supreme Court and county offices. On August 11th, 2025 the shuttle service was discontinued to low ridership.

Future

[edit]

On May 15, 2025, the OmniTrans Board of Directors approved the purchase of eighteen forty-foot New Flyer CNG buses. [15] Later in 2025, OmniTrans approved the purchase sixteen sixty-foot New Flyer Battery-Electric buses. [16]

In Summer 2026 OmniTrans is set to debut the sbX Purple Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service from the Pomona Transit Center in Los Angeles County to Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga serving top destinations such as Ontario International Airport, Ontario Mills, Toyota Arena and Victoria Gardens. This BRT is set to debut a fully zero emissions fleet from its launch. [16]
