July has been an historic month for the Foothill Gold Line. Active train testing is now underway, with crews utilizing light rail vehicles operated on their own power to test all elements of the new light rail system. Crews also continue to complete the final project elements and punch list items. Overall, the 9.1-mile, four-station Glendora to Pomona project is now nearly 90% complete, and remains on budget and on schedule to reach substantial completion and turn-over to LA Metro in just over five months.

Additionally, Governor Newsom and CalSTA this month announced the release of the SB125 funds to be used for transit capital projects statewide. LA Metro is projected to receive $1 billion of those funds, and the Metro board this month once again reaffirmed their commitment to allocate $798 million of the SB125 funds to complete the LA County portion of the final 3.2-mile, two-station Pomona to Montclair segment (that includes stations in Claremont and Montclair). Meanwhile, the procurement process to hire the design-build team for the Pomona to Montclair segment reached its next step when the Foothill Gold Line board approved short-listing the Kiewit design-build team at their July meeting.
