Redlands–University station[5][6] is a terminal station on the Arrow rail service that serves the University of Redlands. The station was built as part of the Arrow service and opened on October 24, 2022.[4]

History

It is located alongside East Park Avenue at its intersection with North University Street on the southwest corner of the University of Redlands campus. Station construction was largely completed in 2021,[7] and opened for revenue service with the system on October 24, 2022.[8] The station has 100 park and ride spaces available for customers.[9]

East of the station, the rail right of way continues as a multi-use recreation path called the Orange Blossom Trail.[10] As of 2017, the University was planning to construct a transit village at the site via a public–private partnership.[11]

Service

Arrow trains run every day between approximately between 5:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. Trains arrive every 30 minutes in the early morning and evening and every 60 minutes from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. On weekends, trains run between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m., arriving every 60 minutes, except for a few hours without trains in the morning and afternoon.[12]
