Omnitrans (stylized as OmniTrans) is a public transportation agency in San Bernardino County, California, United States. The largest transit operator within San Bernardino County, it serves the San Bernardino Valley. [1] The agency was established in 1976 through a joint powers agreement [1] and today includes 15 cities and portions of the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County. In addition to the southwestern corner of San Bernardino County, Omnitrans provides service to parts of Riverside and Los Angeles Counties. Omnitrans currently carries about 11 million passengers per year. Omnitrans currently operates fixed route bus service, bus rapid transit and a paratransit service for the disabled, “Access.” Omnitrans operates throughout the urbanized area of southwestern San Bernardino County: south of the San Bernardino Mountains, from Upland, Montclair, and Chino in the west to Redlands, California and Yucaipa in the east. The Omnitrans service area covers approximately 480 square miles (1,200 km2). [1]
In 2024, the system had a ridership of 9,425,808 or about 25,300 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2025.
In October 2019, Omnitrans faced increasing deficits and reduced service. They plan to cut service by 11 percent. They were the operator for the Arrow commuter rail service between San Bernardino and Redlands. the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Transit Committee voted to transfer the operation and construction duties to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority. [6]
The Transit Committee, announced that it would launch a study considering “complete consolidation” of Omnitrans under the SBCTA due to a $520 million fiscal deficit over the next 20 years. [7] [8] However, in 2021, SBCTA decided against the consolidation of Omnitrans due to the results of a commissioned study. That indicated, that due to state law, SBCTA was required to pay off the agency's unfunded pension liability, at a one-time cost of between $100 million to $174 million. [9] Instead SBCTA opted to provide $100 million to Omnitrans to keep it viable through 2040. [10]
Omnitrans formerly operated OmniLink, a demand-response service that operated in Yucaipa and Chino Hills. OmniLink ceased operation 29 August 2014. [11]
On 27 February 2020 it was announced that Omnitrans placed a new order for four forty-foot, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE™ heavy-duty transit buses. [12]
On 1 March 2023 the Omnitrans Board of Directors approved the purchase of four new Flyer Fuel Cell buses. [13]
As of 15 September 2025, Omnitrans is plaining the 2025-2030 to phase out the old CNG buses and approve 50 electric buses by 2029.
As of 8 October 2025, 14 C40LFR buses have been phased out, with the remaining units to stay in service until 2 January 2026.
