Comments: lets face it. the majority of residents living within San Bernardino county are employed in cities several miles away. I believe a Metro-link from Victorville, CA to Downtown, LA will allow more residents to actually enjoy their homes and their families. Right now the commute if your lucky is about 1hr 1/2. Imagine if you could get home in less than an hour, and have a little extra time in the morning. The savings in gas and vehicle maintenance would be tremendous. Lets not forget the benefit of less pollution. Go Metro!!!

Comments: The only solution to this problem is to bring Metrolink to the high desert. I'm sure Hesperia or Adelanto would love to be considered for it. When I inquired about it a few years ago, the blew me off with "The Cajon pass is to steep to bring Metrolink up here" We have over 50 trains go through every day and we can send a man to the moon but we can't bring the Metrolink through the Cajon Pass. Unbelievable...

Comments: If, indeed, this is a place where those who have the power to execute a point of view and are asking for community opinions. Then, let's just not discuss alternative means of transportation, and simple route lines. There is a demand from the people, that's a given, but a solution for the greater good of this community must be initiated and develop.
Thank you.... Concern, Victorville Resident

Comments: There has to be a central point of departure in the Victor Valley and make it convenient for all it's respected residents through out the region. This plan has to make sense for everyones needs not only for those commuters, but also for the daily locals not to mention the weekenders.
Instead, of having three major commuting sectors why not have a "Central?" The High Desert Corridor is being implemented within the local communities why not work with the Cities and promote such a proposition? This makes sense.. And it will work. The great Citizens of the Victor Valley will support and want such a service.
This can be a public/private partnership along with the backing of our First District Supervisor, Honorable Brad Mitzelfelt.

Comments: They are only two common sense plans that would be cost effective to the Victor Valley, in my opinion. One would be a bus line and the other Van pooling. Unfortunately, not everyone is heading out at the same time or location and vise versa when coming and going to work.
For example: If the destination is at the Rancho Cucamonga, Metrolink Station heading to Los Angeles and back. On any given Friday or a three day weekend, that 15 north right where it merges at the 215. It bottlenecks and you're backed-up as far as the 210. Then, you're right back where you started when you were commuting alone, except with 25-30 other folks who are frustrated with you. "Time, is, of the essence." This wouldn't work....

Comments: From June 2003 to December 2004 I appreciated using the Victor Valley Commuter Services from Victorville to San Bernardino or Ontario to go to work in Riverside County. It was a very vital service. The buses were always full to capacity. My job here in Victorville was recently eliminated. Again, I'm having to commute to the Ontario area. I still rely on public transportation. I have to catch a Greyhound bus to San Bernardino then commute on Omni using 2 buses to get to work. It takes me approximately 2 hours to get to work. Because of the limited Greyhound bus schedules returning to Victorville, it takes approximately six hours to return from work. Please consider re-instating the express bus to San Bernardino, Riverside or the Ontario area.

Comments: I would take advantage of a rideshare program if there was an incentive (reimbursement or something). Been driving to Pomona for more than 6 years now, and one thing to note is that Everyone wants their space, so no matter what methods they try to come up with, people won't use them. Maybe we should hike gas back up to $5+, people weren't driving as much... i miss that.. =p

Comments: I think an Express bus route to go "down the hill" would benefit alot of people that live in the high desert. Job wise,family wise,health wise. plus it would make less people driving on the fwy.

Comments: I live in Phelan and would be happy to take advantage of a car pool program. I see enough people in the morning take the same route that I do to work.
