Metrolink Dedicates Perris Valley Line; Opens to Passengers in 2016
The Southern California Regional Rail Authority, operator of Metrolink commuter rail, held dedication ceremonies Dec. 11 at the Downtown Perris Station for the 91/Perris Valley Line, which will be the agency’s first service extension since 1994.
“We could not be more excited about the extension and look forward to servicing the area,” said Metrolink Chief Executive Officer Art Leahy. “This line will further connect the people in the Perris Valley with destinations across Southern California and bring more people to discover places they couldn’t access by train before.”
The 24-mile extension of the 91 Line is scheduled to open next year. It will run from the Riverside-Downtown Station to South Perris and will include four new stations. The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) secured funding for the $248 million project.
