How good is the transit between the airport and the city center?

At the moment, no transportation exists. The airport is just now opening. However, the multimodal station lies only about a mile and a half to the East, and there are plans for a B.R.T. corridor running between the city center and the airport that should open within the next decade.

Metrolink commuter rail is being extended to the multimodal station, and a new Diesel-electric-multiple-units line is being developed for a former Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way that runs from the city center to the University of Redlands.

This right-of-way could potentially be used for a separate line to and from the airport that would run on vacant and underutilized property that is mostly city-owned. You can see the relationship here:

Relationship between the Pacific Electric Redlands Subdivision and San Bernardino International Airport

Long-range plans call for a transit plaza with a railway station to be located at the end of Harry Sheppard Boulevard. The preference among local leaders and the C.H.S.R. Authority is for any potential high-speed rail station to be located in the city center.
