In attendance were: Mark Waier, Metrolink Via Teleconference: Trichelle Baysden, Metrolink Brian Hart, Amtrak Jay Fuhrman, Metro Noemi Rios, Caltrans James Hinkamp, VCTC Alan Miller, Caltrans Kim Hayford, NCTD Sheldon Peterson, RCTC Jay Fountain, Amtrak Lea Simpson, Caltrans Scott Spaulding, SBCAG Emily Burstein, Caltrans Linda Culp, SANDAG Jonathan Hutchison, Amtrak Danny Veeh, SANDAG Leo Hoyt, Caltrans Steve Fox, SCAG Joe Valdez, Caltrans Michael Litschi, OCTA Don Wong, Amtrak Karen Sakoda, Metrolink Henning Eichler, Metrolink WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS Danny Veeh (SANDAG) welcomed everyone to the meeting. PUBLIC COMMENT/COMMUNICATIONS There were no public comments. JANUARY 10, 2013, MEETING MINUTES The January 10, 2013, meeting minutes were approved. STATUS OF MEMBER AGENCY APPROVALS OF LOSSAN JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT Linda Culp (SANDAG) provided a status update of the LOSSAN member agency approvals of the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). Since the TAC last met, VCTC, Metro, MTS, and CHSRA have approved. MTS approved with a request for three additional amendments: (1) require a super- 5 majority vote for final approval of the interagency transfer agreement (ITA); (2) include a clause that if the ITA negotiations fail, the LOSSAN Agency would revert back to the 2011 version; and (3) include a clause that should the state fail to fund an agreed-upon minimum level of service, management would revert back to the state within 30 days. The Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) group continues to discuss these amendments, which will need to be approved by the LOSSAN board for distribution to member agencies for their approval. The CEOs also recommended waiting on releasing the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Managing Agency until the JPA is approved. PACIFIC SURFLINER EXPRESS SERVICE EVALUATION REPORT Alan Miller (Caltrans) presented a review of the Express Train pilot project, which was launched in February 2011 and reduced the number of stops between San Diego and Los Angeles for northbound train #565 from nine to six, for a reduction in travel time of 12 minutes. The trip has suffered from poor on-time performance (OTP) and declining ridership with the exception of the past few months. Jay Fountain (Amtrak) stated that however you look at the data, the Express Train is not working. Mr. Veeh mentioned that in January 2012 there was a significant drop in ridership that coincided with the introduction of the single-level Horizon car consist. Lea Simpson (Caltrans) mentioned they have previously compared this train to other successful routes and there are a number of reasons why this train is not working. Ms. Culp suggested that a summary of lessons learned be compiled and presented to the board. Jonathan Hutchison (Amtrak) stated that regardless of how you look at the numbers the overall outcome is the same; the Express Train is not working. LOSSAN CORRIDORWIDE FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT, AND OPERATIONS INVENTORY Ms. Culp noted that the TAC had discussed the need to develop a capital and operations inventory for the entire corridor as well as the major components of the report at the past two meetings, and introduced Lane Fernandes, with Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), to provide an overview of the draft report. Mr. Fernandes mentioned there are sections on the history of intercity service in the corridor, ownership of track, stations, and other infrastructure, and the process for changes or additions to train service. PB has collected several agreements pertaining to the corridor and will include them on a CD in the final report. Ms. Culp will collect the TAC comments until February 20. A revised report will be part of the TAC’s March 7 agenda, where the group will be asked to recommend approval to the board at its March 22 meeting. Overall, the comments were positive. Jay Fuhrman (Metro) stated that this will be a fluid document. Scott Spaulding (SBCAG) also mentioned the need to update this document annually. DRAFT CALIFORNIA STATE RAIL PLAN Emily Burstein (Caltrans) provided an overview of the draft State Rail Plan. There have been a lot of changes since the administrative draft, due in part to comments from LOSSAN TAC members. She noted that this draft attempts to better capture the blended rail service idea, with the goal to show the link and interdependency between intercity rail and high-speed rail (HSR). Section 2.1 describes the Southern California and Northern California working groups that are collaborating with CHSRA regarding early implementation of the blended system. This section also mentions the legislation that supports the transfer of management to local authorities for the LOSSAN and San Joaquin corridors. The goal of Chapter 8 is to explain the dynamic nature of capital improvements in the state and projects that are needed for blended service.

The Department has prepared the Plaa as an examination of intercity passenger rail and freight rail transportation in California, in accordance with Section 14036 of the Government Code. The passenger element of the Plan reviews the current operations of the three State-supported intercity rail passenger routes (Pacific Surfliner, San Joaquin, and Capitol), and outlines ten-year plans for capital improvements and service expansions. This element aJso addresses the Depanment's vision for intercity rail and its standards for achievement of ten-year goals, and discusses potential new routes including high-speed rail. ~ The freight element of the Plan is an overview of the State freight rail system, looking at commodities and volumes of goods moving in and out of the State. This element aJso looks at freight issues like capacity concerns, intermoda] traffic, passenger and freight trains sharing right of way, short line railroad issues, funding programs, environmental issues, new technology, and future needs and objectives.
