Pete Wilson was governor of California, Unforgiven won the Oscar® for Best Picture, The Real World premiered on MTV, and, on October 26, Metrolink commenced service to a traffic-weary Southern California with trains from Moorpark, Pomona, and Santa Clarita to the newly refurbished Union Station in Los Angeles. That date 15 years ago seems like just yesterday, but what a difference a decade-and-a-half make. Metrolink now spans 512 miles and 55 stations in six counties, carrying over 42,000 riders per day. Metrolink would like to thank you, our riders, for making the past 15 years so successful. We hope you’ve enjoyed your commute with us, and look forward to sharing many more years to come.

  • Fourth Supervisorial District Bikeways Strategy
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fourth Supervisorial District Bikeways Strategy This report summarizes the results of a study effort focused on the identification of potential regional bikeways within the Fourth Supervisorial District in Orange County. The Fourth District Bikeways Collaborative (Collaborative) effort was facilitated by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and completed under the leadership of Orange County Supervisor and OCTA Board Member Shawn Nelson. Many agencies participated in the Collaborative, including the County of Orange, and the cities of Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton, La Habra, Placentia, and Yorba Linda. The effort was focused on the identification and prioritization of regional bikeways that would serve commuter and recreational cyclists throughout the Fourth Supervisorial District. The objective of this study was to coordinate with cities, stakeholders, and the County of Orange to develop a list of ten regional bikeway corridors to pursue for implementation. Within the ten regional corridors, the Collaborative participants have identified three “focus corridors” that will be prioritized for near-term implementation. The remaining seven corridors are organized into separate tiers for future implementation. Progress towards implementation of bikeway improvements within the Fourth District is proposed to occur on two tracks. One would be the implementation of “potential near-term” projects LA HABRA that would be relatively easy to BREA construct. The other would involve jointly pursuing grant YORBA funding opportunities for the LINDA FULLERTON implementation of larger, 57 PLACENTIA and potentially more costly, BUENA 91 improvements along the three PARK focus corridors. Together, 91 these two efforts are intended 5 ANAHEIM to lead to the coordinated implementation of regionally 241 beneficial bikeway projects within the Fourth District.

While increased ridership is great for the environment, we are well aware that it sometimes leads to frustratingly crowded trains. We’ve been hearing your reports about crowded, standing-room-only trains. We know this is frustrating, so here are some tips that may offer relief. First, please know that very few trains are truly standing-room-only, even with record-breaking ridership. Only two of our trains are actually at capacity. There are typically seats available on even the most crowded- looking trains—you just might have to move to a different car to find them. You’re free to move between cars, so go ahead and look for available seats wherever they may be on your train. (Tip: End cars tend to have the most seating available.) Also, certain trains are much more crowded than others. It’s possible that the train just before or after the one you usually ride has plenty of seats available.
