Perris Station Transit Center Grand Opening
On January 11, 2010, Phase I of the new Perris Station Transit Center was opened to the public providing Perris Valley commuters a central hub to catch any bus traveling through Perris. In a couple of years, Metrolink trains should start running from the station, providing Perris Valley commuters an alternative option for traveling to their destinations in Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles Counties. The Transit Center is located in downtown Perris on C Street and San Jacinto Avenue and is adjacent to the historic California Pacific Railroad Depot Building.
The $5 million Transit Center is being built in two phases. The recently opened Phase I included eight bus bays, a 141 space Park and Ride lot and a pedestrian plaza. Phase II, anticipated to be completed in 2012, includes the development of the Metrolink station for the Perris Valley Line. TUMF programmed over $1 million for this project.
