Transportation

Local transportation is one of the biggest reasons why the San Gabriel Valley has convenient access to all of Southern California.

 

Public Transportation The San Gabriel Valley provides bus service provided by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which operates the nation’s second largest bus fleet. Both the MTA and Foothill buses utilize the exclusive El Monte Busway on Route 10 to expedite travel between the San Gabriel Valley and downtown Los Angeles. The San Gabriel Valley also provides Metrolink, a commuter-rail service operated by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority. Metrolink’s Riverside Line links Pomona, Industry and Montebello with downtown Los Angeles. The San Bernadino Line stops in Claremont, Pomona, Covina, Baldwin Park, El Monte, downtown Los Angeles and at California State University, Los Angeles. Together, the two lines carry nearly 8,000 people daily. The trains run on a 20-minute interval time schedule.  Other forms of public transportation also include Dial-A-Ride and the Foothil Transit.		Freeways and Roads The San Gabriel Valley is served by six major freeways – the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10), the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210), the Pomona Freeway (State Route 60), the San Gabriel River Freeway (Interstate 605), the Orange Freeway (State Route 57) and the Long Beach Freeway (Interstate 710) – that link it to the entire Los Angeles five-county region. These major freeways interconnect the 400 square miles of the Valley with unusual efficiency and provide quick access to the rest of the Los Angeles Basin and California.
Airports The 605 and 105 freeways provide easy access from the San Gabriel Valley to LAX. Ontario International Airport also is easily accessible from the central and eastern San Gabriel Valley, as is Burbank Airport from the west. General aviation is provided by two San Gabriel Valley facilities: El Monte Airport and Brackett Airfield in La Verne.
