Three shelters were installed in November in each city. The new shelters are the first of over 500 to be installed in the Omnitrans service area. The shelters will feature improved seating, trash receptacles, lighting and information panels. Over 700 new benches and trash receptacles will also be installed in Omnitrans cities that are participating in this 10-year program. The shelters and benches, purchased, installed and maintained by Lamar Transit Advertising of San Bernardino, are provided to the community at no cost to tax payers.
Advertising sold on the shelters pays for the amenities and their maintenance.
Current Omnitrans cities participating in this plan are San Bernardino, Loma Linda, Colton and Rialto as well as unincorporated portions of San Bernardino County.
