Part 2 Station Area Profile The Station Area Profile is a summary of some of the physical and regulatory conditions currently existing within the study area. Overview San Bernardino High Quality Transit Area Downtown San Bernardino Transit Center Socioeconomic Profile Demographic Profile Employment Profile Employment Trends Previous Planning Efforts Executive Summary Station Area Profile Outreach Opportunities/Constraints San Bernardino High Quality Transit Area OVERVIEW The City of San Bernardino’s HQTA is centrally located in the City’s downtown core, which includes the new San Bernardino Regional Transit Center and the now closed Carousel Mall. The HQTA is as represented in the map at right. It currently includes stops for the San Bernardino Express (SbX) Bus Rapid Transit line, regional and local buses, stops for Metrolink, and stops for the future Redlands Passenger Rail “Arrow” transit line, providing multi-modal access to Downtown San Bernardino. The City has adopted a TOD overlay zone for all properties within half-mile of their SbX BRT stops and will prepare a Downtown Specific 1/2 Mile radius Plan to incorporate TOD principles. The area is about three miles north of Hospitality Lane, which includes a cluster of hospitality and employment activities. HR&A has defined a study area around the center of the Carousel Mall as the Study Area for socio-economic and demographic profile presented on pages 10-12. In addition to the Mall, Theater the Study Area includes a large number of City offices and County facilities, as well as the Courthouse Square 8,000 seat San Manuel Stadium, home of the Inland Empire 66ers, a San Bernardino-based Caltrans minor league baseball team. Superior Courts The City of San Bernardino is currently experiencing conditions similar to those experienced Carousel by “rust-belt” cities: declining pedestrian and economic activity. Given the significant transit Mall investments, strategic location in the Inland Empire, and relative affordability, Downtown City Hall presents a significant opportunity for economic growth and reinvestment.

The sbX Green line offers service to major destinations in the cities of San Bernardino and Loma Linda; expansions to the BRT system are in place. sbX ridership has increased since the Metrolink extension to Transit Center in December 2017. At present, there is no sbX weekend service to the center but plans are in place to introduce weekend service in 2019.
