Metro A Line: Pomona North and La Verne/Fairplex

Pomona North: separate Metro and Metrolink platforms
Metrolink publishes Pomona North at 205 Santa Fe Street, Pomona. Its San Bernardino Line and the Metro A Line use separate platforms; Metro is on the north side toward Garey Avenue. This is not the downtown station. Confirm the current timetable and boarding point.

La Verne/Fairplex: station parking outside Pomona
La Verne records identify the station parking property as 2327 Arrow Highway, La Verne. Directions here lead to that parking property, not a verified accessible platform entrance or Fairplex gate. Older regional notices use a different street label; use current Metro signage and confirm the event entrance.

Pomona Transit Center and Foothill Transit
Foothill Transit publishes the Pomona Transit Center at 100 W. Commercial Street. Use its current routes, including Silver Streak, to plan regional and local connections. The bus center and downtown train station have different published addresses. Stop changes and return service need checking.

Fairplex connections: check the current Line 197 trip
Use Foothill Transit Line 197 information for the current route and stops serving the Fairplex area. A campus stop is not necessarily the gate used by your event. Special fair or sports shuttles from earlier events are not assumed to operate today.

Fairplex: use the gate for your event
Use the Fairplex directions and the event organizer’s current parking instructions. Different museums, fairs and performances can use different entrances. No year-round parking rate, general rideshare zone or event restriction is assumed.

Wheelchair access and elevator checks

Visitor questions
Is this the official government website for Pomona?
This guide is not operated by or affiliated with the City of Pomona. Use the government and venue source links for official decisions and current visitor rules.
How can I plan a visit without a car?
Start with this sourced connection. Metro A Line: Pomona North and La Verne/Fairplex: Metro A Line serves Pomona North and La Verne/Fairplex. The latter is in La Verne, across Arrow Highway from the Fairplex campus; it is not a Fairplex event entrance. Use current Metro and Foothill Transit planning for onward travel and the return trip.
Where should I check parking before an event or visit?
Use the venue’s official parking instructions and check the specific date before paying. The Event Day Guide separates arrival information from nearby food and hotels; a map pin does not confirm an available space or accessible entrance.
How can I check wheelchair access and accessible arrival?
Access varies by destination and service. Fairplex accessible arrival: Fairplex describes accessible entrances, washrooms and parking in its lots, subject to availability. Its accessibility page names the Sheraton hotel at Gate 3 off McKinley Avenue for ADA drop-off and pickup. Confirm the route to the particular event; that guidance is not a general rideshare authorization.
Where can I check free or lower-cost activities?
Compare current public-program and event information using the linked organizers. Admission, registration and eligibility vary; this guide does not assume that every activity is free.
Where can I find current events?
Check the Events page and the official organizer calendars. A calendar link does not mean every event is copied into this guide. Dates appear only when supported by a source; confirm cancellations and tickets with the organizer.
