?? It’s been eight years since the Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line opened, bringing with it expanded travel options along I-215 and passenger rail service to City of Riverside, City of Moreno Valley, City of Perris, and the surrounding communities. The 24-mile extension from the Riverside-Downtown station was the first Metrolink extension to open since the Antelope Valley line in 1994. Fast forward to today and RCTC continues to enhance service along this corridor with the Moreno Valley-March Field Station Improvements Project which is slated to open later this year. #TransitTuesday
