Transit Centers
RTA maintains several transit centers throughout their service area. The primary transit center, the Riverside Downtown Terminal, is located between University and Mission Inn Avenues just west of Market Street in downtown Riverside. It has 8 bus bays and is located adjacent to the Riverside Greyhound station.
The new Perris transit center, located between 1st and 2nd Streets east of C Street in Perris, opened on January 10, 2010, with 6 bus bays and a park-and-ride lot. The center is also a station for weekend excursion trains from the Orange Empire Railway Museum, and will be a station on the Metrolink Perris Valley Line, which is scheduled to be running by 2011.
The Corona Transit Center opened in September 2010, adjacent to the North Main Corona Metrolink station. The center has 9 bus bays, additional park-and-ride parking, and a direct connection to the Metrolink station and its associated parking garage via a pedestrian bridge.
Major transfer points are also located at several shopping centers throughout the area: The Galleria at Tyler, the Moreno Valley Mall, the Hemet Valley Mall, the Lake Elsinore Outlet Center and Temecula's Promenade Mall.
To keep up with growing demand for public transit, RTA is developing several new transit centers. Plans are underway to construct new transit centers in Riverside (the current terminal is over capacity) and in Temecula.

Famous quotes containing the words transit and/or centers:
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
