Facility Overview

The Community Church Rancho Park & Ride facility offers convenient, well-maintained surface parking in the northern foothills of Rancho Cucamonga, California. Operated in partnership with the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) and IE Commuter, this designated commuter facility provides 35 dedicated Park & Ride stalls situated within the church campus grounds at 9090 19th Street. Because it is a level, open-air surface lot without parking structures or low ceilings, it accommodates a diverse array of standard and oversized passenger vehicles. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, minivans, and high-roof work vans will enjoy unrestricted vertical clearance and generous maneuvering space.

When using the facility, always park within the designated Park & Ride stalls marked specifically for commuter use, leaving standard church visitor bays open for daily church operations and preschool functions. The lot is designed for daily passenger vehicle parking; overnight stays, commercial staging, and unhitched trailers are strictly prohibited under municipal and SBCTA guidelines. To ensure a guaranteed stall during peak Tuesday through Thursday morning commute periods, aim to arrive before 7:30 AM. Lock your vehicle, close all windows, and secure any personal belongings out of sight before joining your carpool or vanpool.
