The Foothill Gold Line from Glendora to Montclair is a 12.3-mile extension of the Metro Gold
Line light rail system. The project will add new Gold Line stations in the cities of Glendora, San
Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair - and may be built in phases.
The project broke ground in December 2017 and has completed two of four contracts. In
August 2019, the Construction Authority Board of Directors awarded the main design-build
contract to Kiewit-Parsons, a Joint Venture. Major construction will begin in 2020 and take
five years to complete to Pomona (eight years to Montclair if additional funds are secured by
October 2021).
The project is being funded by Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties and the State of
California. The portion of the project within Los Angeles County is being funded mostly by LA
Metro’s sales tax measures (Measure M and R); San Bernardino County is funding the majority
of the portion in their county. The project also received a nearly $300 million greenhouse gas
reduction grant from the State of California to be used in both counties.
