Frequently Asked Questions

Where is San Bernardino situated?

Located in Southern California's Inland Empire, San Bernardino is the county headquarters and a city in San Bernardino County. The city is located in the eastern portion of the San Bernardino Valley and the foothills of San Bernardino County, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

What is the weather like in San Bernardino?

With mild winters and scorching, dry summers, San Bernardino enjoys a unique hot-summer Mediterranean environment. This area experiences cooler winters, distinguished by icy mornings, than other parts of Southern California. With temperatures that are similar to those of hot deserts and a high of 118 °F (47.8 °C) on July 6, 2018, the dry summer weather prevents tropospheric cloud formation. A 16-inch average of precipitation falls each year, with sporadic snowfall occurring in the winter. Because it's higher up, Arrowhead Springs, a neighborhood in the city's northern section, gets a lot of snow. In mountain communities and foothills, the autumnal Santa Ana winds increase the risk of wildfires. The cycle of dry summers and chilly winters that defines San Bernardino's climate results in unusual seasonal fluctuations and weather patterns.

What are some recreational activities in San Bernardino?

The Route 66 Rendezvous in September, the Berdoo Bikes & Blues Rendezvous in the spring, the National Orange Show Festival, and the Western Regional Little League Championships in August are just a few of the yearly events held in San Bernardino. The historic Arrowhead Springs Hotel and Spa, with its mineral baths, steam caverns, and hot springs, is one of the area's notable sights. Ancient Chinese funerary art, Italian ceramics, and Egyptian artifacts are on display at California State University's Robert V. Fullerton Museum of Art. The California Theatre, San Manuel Amphitheater, and Sturges Center for the Fine Arts are a few examples of performance spaces. Sports fans can see games at the Glen Helen Raceway for off-road motorsports or San Manuel Stadium, home of the Inland Empire 66ers. The city is also home to a number of parks that provide outdoor sports and recreational possibilities, such as Blair Park, Glen Helen Regional Park, and Perris Hill Park.

What are the educational opportunities in San Bernardino?

The San Bernardino City Unified School District, the seventh largest in California, is principally in charge of managing education in San Bernardino. Furthermore, Rim of the World, Redlands (southeast), and Rialto (west) Unified School Districts serve the city. Aquinas High School, Arroyo Valley High School, Cajon High School, San Bernardino High School, Pacific, San Gorgonio High School, and Indian Springs High School are among the nearby public high schools. California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), located in the University District and established in 1965, is one of the region's higher education institutions. Additionally, San Bernardino is home to Summit Career College, American Sports University, California University of Science and Medicine, San Bernardino Valley College, The Art Institute of California - Inland Empire, and UEI College.

San Bernardino provides extensive public transportation, including the sbX Green Line bus rapid transit route and a variety of bus services. The city is a member of the Omnitrans and MARTA joint jurisdiction. Foothill Freeway, Waterman Avenue, Barstow Freeway, and San Bernardino Freeway are some of the main local thoroughfares.
