Getting around Chino Hills

Freeways, transit, airport transfers, parking and bike paths — what a local would tell you before you arrive.

Check the live pages before you set out: drive times and cheapest gas.

Metrolink

The San Bernardino Line serves nearby Pomona, and the Riverside Line serves the Industry station, both a short drive from Chino Hills, connecting to Downtown LA and Union Station.

There's no rail station inside Chino Hills itself, so plan on driving or a short rideshare to the nearest Metrolink stop before boarding.

Fares work on a reloadable transit card or a mobile app pass. Day passes pay for themselves in two rides.

Omnitrans buses

Omnitrans routes run along Grand Ave and Chino Hills Pkwy, connecting to Chino and the broader San Bernardino County network. Service is usable for commuting but sparse on evenings and weekends.

For visitors, the honest advice: a car or rideshare is the most reliable way to get around Chino Hills.

Freeways

SR-71 runs along the west edge of the city and is the fastest route north to the 60 and 10 freeways.

SR-60 and SR-91 connect Chino Hills to the wider Inland Empire and Orange County — SR-91 is the better bet toward Corona and Riverside.

Carbon Canyon Rd (SR-142) is the scenic, slower route southwest toward Brea and Orange County.

Peak congestion is roughly 6:30–9:00 AM outbound and 3:30–6:30 PM inbound on Grand Ave and Chino Hills Pkwy.

From Ontario International Airport (ONT)

ONT is about 20 to 30 minutes from Chino Hills by car, depending on traffic and which side of the city you're headed to.

Rideshare and taxi are the simplest option — there's no direct transit line from the airport into Chino Hills.

LAX is also viable for international routes, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Chino Hills depending on traffic.

Parking

Parking is free and plentiful almost everywhere in Chino Hills — this is not Downtown LA.

The Shoppes at Chino Hills has free lots along Trevi Lane; park once and walk the district rather than moving the car between blocks.

Chino Hills Community Park has large free public lots for events and Concerts in the Park.

Shopping centers including Chino Hills Marketplace and Soquel Canyon Towne Centre have large free lots.

Biking and walking

The Four Corners trail is the standout — a multi-use trail network linking Chino Hills, Brea, Yorba Linda, and Diamond Bar open space.

The Shoppes at Chino Hills is the most walkable commercial district in the city. Most other areas are car-oriented, particularly around Carbon Canyon.

Chino Hills State Park has extensive hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails through native grassland.

Transit routes and fares change. Confirm details with the operating agency before you travel.
