Riverside–La Sierra is a train station served by Metrolink commuter rail in the La Sierra South neighborhood[7] of Riverside, California, United States.[1][2] Due to its large parking area, it is the second-largest station served by Metrolink, after Union Station.[8] La Sierra University is located a few miles from the station.[9]

The station is owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC).[1][2]

History

Riverside–La Sierra opened in 1995 along with the opening of the Inland Empire–Orange County (IEOC) Line.[4][5]

In 2002, Riverside Public Utilities began building a solar covered carport at the station.[8] The carport was completed in 2003.[8]

Future development

RCTC developed plans in the 2000s to build a transit-oriented development (TOD) at the station, enlarge the parking lot, and build improved bus facilities.[12][4][5][13] In 2010, Caltrans granted funds to increase parking capacity at the station.[14] As of 2016, the parking expansion was in the public comment phase, and the TOD apartment complex was under construction.[15][16]
