Montclair Transit Center is served by 44 Metrolink San Bernardino Line trains (22 in each direction) each weekday, with trains arriving every 30 minutes for most of the day, and every 60 minutes in the early morning and evening. Weekend service consists of 16 trains (8 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, evenly spaced throughout the day.[5]

The transit center is jointly owned by the City of Montclair, Caltrans, and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority. Caltrans owns all of the parking spaces, while Montclair and SBCTA jointly own the transit center and Metrolink platform.[6][7] Omnitrans, Foothill Transit, and the Riverside Transit Agency all provide bus service, with Foothill and RTA providing express service, Foothill providing bus rapid transit service via the Silver Streak, and Foothill and Omnitrans providing local service. It is also a station on the Metrolink San Bernardino Line.

The station serves as the dividing line between Foothill's service area and Omnitrans' service area. Omnitrans buses run to the east, while Foothill buses run to the west. Both agencies accept each other's passes for one transfer outbound from the station.

Greyhound moved to the transit center in 2022 from a location in neighboring Claremont, as part of its transition away from company-operated facilities.[8] The move caused controversy on the Montclair City Council, with one member falsely claiming that the Claremont Greyhound station was a magnet for crime, which was refuted by the city manager and rebuked by other council members.[9] A child care center also operated at the transit center, until it was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
