- Provide faster, more attractive transit service on Holt Blvd./Route 61 and Foothill Blvd./Route 66 corridors
- Connect all major activity centers:
- Ontario Mills, Convention Center and Ontario Airport
- Victoria Gardens, schools, downtown and civic center areas
3 Metrolink stations
- Major employers such as Kaiser Permanente Hospital
- Support the cities’ plans
- Analyze all viable alternatives to determine the best option
