Victorville (Amtrak Station)

Victorville (Amtrak Station)

The Victor Valley Transportation Center is an intermodal transit center served by Amtrak, Greyhound, the Victor Valley Transit Authority and military shuttles to Fort Irwin. The center also serves as a Park-and-Ride facility for car-pooling commuters. There is a station building that is open during service hours, with a waiting area and restrooms.

The station is served by the Amtrak Southwest Chief, once daily in each direction. As of 9 April 2011, the eastbound train stops at 9:10pm on its way to Chicago, while the westbound train stops at 4:18am on its way to Los Angeles. Amtrak California also operates Thruway motorcoach service to the station, with twice daily service to Bakersfield for connections to the San Joaquins.

Greyhound operates service north-east to Barstow, Las Vegas and points beyond, as well as service south-west to San Bernardino and on to Los Angeles. Since the demise of commuter bus service to the Inland Empire, the Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) offers subsidized Greyhound tickets to passengers traveling to either San Bernardino or Barstow. A Greyhound ticket agent is on duty six days a week.

Despite the station's generously sized bus terminal, it is served by only two of the VVTA's 18 routes. (The main transfer point for VVTA service is located 2 miles south, at 7th/Lorene.) Route 22-Helendale serves the station in both directions, and route 41-Apple Valley/Victorville provides service inbound towards Victorville. There is no Sunday service.

Free parking is available in two lots, with the passenger drop-off lot limited to 2 hours and the park-and-ride lot limited to 24 hours. There is a CNG fueling station on site.
