==Infrastructure== {{more citations needed|date=November 2010}} [[File:Reliant Energy Etiwanda Generating Station.JPG|thumb|NRG's Etiwanda Generating Station, with [[Cucamonga Peak]] in the background]] ===Transportation=== Rancho Cucamonga is served by [[Omnitrans]] bus service, train service from [[Metrolink (California)|Metrolink]]'s [[Rancho Cucamonga station]] on the [[San Bernardino Line]], and nearby [[Ontario International Airport]], one of four major Los Angeles-area passenger airports with multiple daily flights by most domestic carriers as well as a major shipping hub for companies like [[United Parcel Service|UPS]] and [[FedEx]]. Rancho Cucamonga has been identified as the initial western end-point of the [[Brightline West]] [[High-speed rail in the United States|High Speed Rail]] (HSR) project to connect Southern California with [[Las Vegas]]. On December 5, 2023, it was announced that the project would be awarded a grant of USD3 Billion from the [[Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act|Bipartisan Infrastructure Law]].<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Ketcham |first1=Ryan |last2=Zalucki |first2=Rachel |date=December 5, 2023 |title=$3 billion in funding secured for high-speed rail in Las Vegas, connecting to Southern California |url=https://www.ktnv.com/news/3-billion-funding-secured-for-brightline-west-high-speed-rail-in-las-vegas |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=KTNV Las Vegas News}}</ref> [[Interstate 15 in California|Interstate 15]] (I-15) and [[California State Route 210|State Route 210]] (SR-210) run through Rancho Cucamonga as well as the historic [[U.S. Route 66]] (as Foothill Boulevard). I-15 sits atop an elevated [[berm]], and cuts a curve through the southeastern part of the city, isolating a mostly industrial area, a small shopping center, and several housing tracts from the larger part of the city. Further north, I-15 forms part of the northeastern border with neighboring [[Fontana, California|Fontana]] before entering the [[Cajon Pass]] through the San Gabriel Mountains. I-15 provides connectivity with the [[High Desert (California)|High Desert]], [[Nevada]], and points north for the Inland Empire and much of Southern California. ===Utilities=== Rancho Cucamonga receives natural gas from the [[Southern California Gas Company]]. The city's water supply and sewage are managed by the Cucamonga Valley Water District. Garbage collection is by Burrtec Disposal, phone service is from [[Frontier Communications]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://go.frontier.com/availability/ca/rancho-cucamonga|title=FiOS Internet Service {{!}} Rancho Cucamonga, California {{!}} 855-284-2105|website=go.frontier.com|access-date=January 29, 2019}}</ref> and cable TV is provided by [[Charter Communications]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spectrum.com/internet-service/california/rancho-cucamonga|title=Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Internet Service Provider |publisher= Charter Spectrum|website= spectrum.com|access-date=January 29, 2019}}</ref> Electric power in Rancho Cucamonga is provided by [[Southern California Edison]] and the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility. Before 2024, the city was home to the [[NRG Energy|Reliant Energy]] Etiwanda Generating Station, on Etiwanda Avenue. This facility, one of five Reliant stations in California, was a natural [[gas-fired power plant]], which began operation in 1963. At {{cvt|640|MW}} net capacity, it was Reliant's second-highest-capacity plant on the West Coast. It utilized four steam turbine generators; of which units three and four remained active after turbines one and two, as well as a combustion turbine, were retired in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Several systems are in place to control gas emissions, and annually, over {{cvt|900000000|USgal|impgal GL}} of recycled water are used for cooling.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.reliant.com/en_US/Page/Generic/Public/Wholesale_Plant_Listings.jsp |archive-url= https://archive.today/20080112193257/http://www.reliant.com/en_US/Page/Generic/Public/Wholesale_Plant_Listings.jsp |archive-date=January 12, 2008 |title=Reliant Energy - Electric Power Generation within the United States |access-date=May 17, 2009 |url-status=live }}</ref> As of 2024, all turbines and stacks and the entire electrical plant have been removed. On November 29, 2011, the [[Inland Empire Utilities Agency]] installed the first wind turbine in Rancho Cucamonga.<ref>{{cite web| first= Wendy |last= Leung| work= Inland Valley Daily Bulletin |url=http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_19357599 |title=Wind turbine to bring inexpensive power to utilities agency |publisher= San Bernardino County Sun |access-date=March 31, 2012}}</ref>
