Traffic congestion at Milliken Avenue and I-10 Freeway.
Ontario is strategically located within a regional transportation network that includes an international airport with passenger and air cargo operations, three freeways, three freight rail lines, commuter and passenger rail services, public transit and a local network of streets and multi-purpose trails. This network provides multi-modal transportation options for those traveling within, to or through the City. This robust system creates unique opportunities for Ontario as a regional jobs hub and a complete community. Ontario's Vision to concentrate growth in key locations will allow the City to capitalize on this transportation system.
Ontario's Vision is that there will be more mobility options as the City and the region grow. Personal vehicles will continue to provide individual mobility and flexibility for travel, though fuel systems will change and guidance technology will become much more sophisticated. Bus travel will be a convenient and reliable option. The commuter rail system will provide service all day throughout the region and high-speed rail may be developed for longer-distance trips. Air travel will be linked through a future multi-modal station in close proximity to LAONT airport where access to many modes of transit will be available. Freight transportation via trucks, rail and air cargo will provide efficient movement of goods to the City, region and beyond while minimizing negative impacts.
The mobility system will be coordinated with future land use patterns and levels of buildout. Access and connectivity to mobility options will be integrated into neighborhoods, villages and districts. The placement of housing, jobs and amenities in closer proximity to each other and design strategies focused on the pedestrian will make walking a desirable alternative and a connected regional system of multi-purpose trails will enable safe and convenient non-motorized travel.
Purpose
The Mobility Element:
- Provides overall guidance for the City's responsibility to satisfy the local and subregional mobility needs of our residents, visitors and businesses while maintaining the quality of life envisioned in The Ontario Plan.
- Coordinates the mobility system with future land use patterns and levels of buildout.
- Addresses access and connectivity among the various neighborhoods, villages and districts.
- Addresses the range of mobility options, including vehicular, trucking, freight and passenger rail, air, pedestrian, bicycle and transit.
|
Principles
We believe:
- Access to convenient local and regional mobility options is essential to the City's growth and prosperity.
- A comprehensive multi-modal mobility system is vital to achieving access to jobs, schools, shopping, services, parks and other key destination points.
- Transportation systems should reflect the context and desired character of the surrounding land uses.
- Well designed and maintained roadways are essential for the safe and efficient movement of goods and people.
- Transportation routes and their right-of-ways should be planned and preserved based upon projected travel demands.

Community members participating in workshop activities
|
|
On Thursday February 9, 2012, the City conducted its first open house workshop for the development of the Holt Boulevard Mobility and Streetscape Strategic Plan. The plan will focus on incorporating “Complete Streets” strategies to create a safe and inviting transportation network that serves the needs of everyone who travels the corridor, including bicyclists, drivers, transit and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.
This first workshop was aimed at providing information for review and soliciting input from the community. This workshop was well attended with approximately sixty-five community residents, business owners and public/private organizations. Workshop attendees participated in a self-guided tour throughout the meeting space. Each attendee was given a packet with instructions and items that would help them complete various tasks and activities that ended with the completion of a survey. The focus of the open house was to introduce the public to the project, encourage participation and solicit input on concerns and needs regarding the corridor. In addition, information was provided about the history of Holt Blvd., examples and information on “Complete Street” concepts, and land use information along the corridor.
If you have any questions and would like to learn more about future meetings, please contact Rudy Zeledon at (909) 395-2422 or rzeledon@ci.ontario.ca.us. |

City Receives Caltrans Grant for Holt Boulevard Corridor Plan | |
|
The California Transportation Department (CalTrans) awarded the City of Ontario a $200,000 Community-Based Transportation Planning Grant to develop the Holt Boulevard Corridor Pedestrian Mobility and Streetscape Strategic Plan. The Plan will establish segment-appropriate strategies to improve safety, aesthetics, amenities, mobility, and mobility options along the Holt Boulevard corridor, connecting downtown with the Hospitality District and future multi-modal transit center. Planning and transportation staff will work with stakeholders to incorporate the most feasible and best mobility practices into the plan, integrating street design into land-use context and place making.
CalTrans' Community-Based Transportation Planning Grants promote strong and healthy communities, economic growth, and protection of our environment through community planning projects with a focus on pedestrian and bicycle travel, smart land use and commute alternatives. These projects should lead to the adoption, initiation, and programming of transportation improvements and improve, mobility, access, and economic vitality. The Holt Boulevard Corridor Plan will support future revitalization, economic development and corridor improvement efforts along Holt Boulevard.
