Approved.
LOSSAN Amended Joint Powers Agreement and Bylaws
Linda Culp (SANDAG) provided an overview of this item and noted that all Member Agencies have approved the amended Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). She also reviewed the overall changes to the JPA. The Board of Directors unanimously approved the amended JPA and directed staff to file the necessary documents with the State of California.
Status Update from the Managing Agency Proposal Screening Committee
Board Member Art Brown (SCAG) gave an update on the Screening Committee’s role to review the proposals for the new LOSSAN Managing Agency and make a recommendation to the Board at its August meeting. To date, the Committee has held one kick-off meeting to discuss logistics. The next meeting will take place on July 22, 2013, where members of the Committee will provide their
7 individual evaluation scores and formulate a recommendation that will be reviewed by the CEO group and passed along to the LOSSAN Board. All applications will be available to the LOSSAN Board for review along with the Screening Committee’s recommendation.
Corridor Trends
Ms. Culp presented this item which discusses ridership, revenue, and on-time performance (OTP) for the Pacific Surfliner, Metrolink, and COASTER services. For the month of June, Surfliner ridership was down, revenue was up, and OTP was 80 percent. Customer satisfaction scored a record high in May, with slightly lower scores in June. For the month of June, ridership was down along the corridor with the exception of the COASTER, largely due to the county fair and ticketing partnerships between North County Transit District (NCTD) and the fairgrounds.
The former Surfliner Express trip has experienced an increase in ridership compared to June of last year, although ridership is not at the level which was seen when the Surfliner Express was initially launched.
Board Member Karen Spiegel (RCTC) gave an update on the Perris Valley Metrolink extension, noting that RCTC is now able to move forward with the project. Board Member Spiegel also asked Amtrak about the process for a service or fare change. Board Member Jonathan Hutchison (Amtrak) explained that Amtrak fares are similar to airport fares, fluctuating based on demand. Schedules are coordinated with rail owners along the corridor. In the case of the Surfliner Express conversion, there were no capital improvements required and it was a negotiation process. Board Member David Golonski (Metro) asked about both the recent declines in Capitol Corridor and Metrolink ridership. Board Member Hutchison noted that a new station configuration in Sacramento had a negative impact on ridership. Ms. Culp noted that additional information on both of these trends will be provided in next month’s Corridor Trends report.
Paul Dyson (RailPAC) made a comment regarding recent changes along the Capitol Corridor. The reconfiguration of the Sacramento station and commuter bus service from Placer County influence daily ridership routines. Moving a track affects ridership and he cautioned that major changes at stations could potentially have detrimental effects on service.
Follow-Up on the Pacific Surfliner Bicycle Reservation Policy and Additional Storage Project
Board Member Hutchison reviewed the Pacific Surfliner bicycle reservation policy. In order to better manage capacity issues, Amtrak initiated a reservation system June 1, 2013. During the first month, there were 2,443 bikes carried on the Surfliner by 1,543 individuals. The majority of people who brought bikes onto the Surfliner were not commuters. Ninety-five percent of individuals who brought their bike last month made one to two trips in that month. Weekends are the days with the highest bicycle usage. Eight of the nine trains on which bikes were reserved were longer distance, through trains traveling north of Los Angeles.
Scott Spaulding (SBCAG) asked if it would be possible to identify the days and trains that reach maximum bike capacity. He also asked about flexibility in the number of bikes allowed on each train. Board Member Hutchison stated that the reservation system allows space for seven bikes per train. On some of the cars with higher capacity, the conductor is given discretion to allow more.
8 Board Member Golonski suggested that the Amtrak bike policy be agendized at a future Technical Advisory Committee meeting with the analysis and discussion brought back to the Board of Directors for policy review. Chair Strong concurred with this suggestion.
Sponsorship of the September 24-25, 2013, RailPAC Rail Infrastructure Funding Conference
Ms. Culp introduced this item by noting that RailPAC is planning a conference centered on rail infrastructure needs and possible financing. Robert Manning (RailPAC) explained that the call for a Rail Summit is to address the many issues of rail travel in the state. This summit will be a collaborative effort and will include discussion between rail advocates, policymakers, politicians, rail passengers, and industry officials. The meeting is planned for Tuesday, September 24, 2013.
Chair Strong said LOSSAN is being asked to lend its name as a supporter; there will be no financial commitment. Board Member Jerry Rindone (SDMTS) stated that this is a good opportunity for LOSSAN Board Members to be proactive about positive legislative rail changes in the state. The Board voted unanimously to support this conference.
Board Member Updates
Board Member Rindone extended congratulations on final approval of the amended JPA to former LOSSAN Chair Joe Kellejian. Board Member Rindone also thanked Ms. Culp for her efforts at the staff level.
Board Member Golonski also thanked everyone who helped in the effort to pass the amended JPA.
Board Member Spiegel thanked LOSSAN for the JPA amendment to make RCTC a voting member.
Next Meeting
The next LOSSAN Board of Directors meeting is scheduled for Friday, August 23, 2013, in San Diego at 1 p.m.

August 23, 2013 AGENDA ITEM NO.: 5
Action Requested: INFORMATION
CORRIDOR TRENDS File Number 3400600
Introduction
This report includes statistics that measure ridership, revenue, on-time performance (OTP), and customer satisfaction index (CSI) for the passenger rail services on the LOSSAN Corridor, including the Pacific Surfliner, Coast Starlight, Metrolink, and COASTER. The Capitol Corridor, San Joaquin, and Amtrak overall figures are included for comparison.
Ridership
When compared to the previous year, the Pacific Surfliner experienced decreasing ridership in three of the past five months. However, July ridership increased by 2.1 percent and recorded the highest single month ridership in the past two years.
The Coast Starlight had maintained positive ridership growth since September 2011, but has declined for the past two months with a decrease of 1.3 percent in July. The Capital Corridor has had declining ridership since June 2012, but posted an increase of 2.3 percent in July. The Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority has taken steps to identify the causes and actions to address the 13 consecutive months of ridership loss, which are summarized in Attachment 1. The San Joaquin experienced a 12.0 percent increase in July and has only one month of declining ridership since 2010. Amtrak nationwide posted the best ridership month ever with 2.91 million trips in July, which is a 4.8 percent increase over July last year. Ten of Amtrak’s train routes set ridership records in July.
For the commuter rail services on the LOSSAN corridor, COASTER, and Metrolink have had fluctuating ridership since July 2012. COASTER ridership was up 13.2 percent in July. Metrolink total system ridership was up 1.5 percent in July. Ridership on the Ventura County Line was up 0.9 percent, while the Orange County line increased by 3.7 percent in July. Metrolink has researched the causes of ridership decline, which is summarized in Attachment 2.

Revenue
In addition to the historically high ridership, revenue was higher in July than in any month in Amtrak’s history. Seventeen Amtrak routes set revenue records. The Pacific Surfliner, revenue was up 7.2 percent in July and recorded the highest overall revenue in LOSSAN’s records dating back to 2008. The Capitol Corridor revenue was down 1.2 percent, the San Joaquin was up 7.0 percent, and the Coast Starlight increased by 5.4 percent.
The Pacific Surfliner ridership and revenue records were achieved despite an absolute work window in San Diego on July 12, 13, and 14.

OTP
OTP on the LOSSAN Corridor was impacted by various mechanical problems, trespasser incidents, and heavy boardings for Comic Con and the Del Mar Races that affected all trains throughout the corridor. The overall Pacific Surfliner OTP dipped below 80 percent for the first time since August 2012 with 77.5 OTP in July. The LOSSAN North segment OTP performed better than LOSSAN South, with 94.1 percent and 77.2 percent, respectively.
The COASTER OTP dropped to 92.5 percent in July. Metrolink OTP in June was 92.5 percent for all lines, with the Ventura County Line at 93.9 percent and the Orange County Line at 92.9 percent.
The methodologies between calculating OTP for intercity and commuter services are different. Commuter trains are considered late if they are 6 or more minutes late to the terminal location. Pacific Surfliner trains operating between Goleta and San Diego are considered late if they arrive 10 or more minutes after their scheduled times, and 20 minutes or more for trains operating between San Luis Obispo and San Diego. There also are different assumptions as to whether annulled trains are included in OTP calculations.

15 Attachment 1
Capitol Corridor Service Performance
Ridership for June 2013 was down 4 percent compared to June 2012 with Year-to-date (YTD) ridership 3 percent lower than last year. YTD revenue is slightly below last year by 0.7 percent; however, YTD system operating ratio is 54 percent thanks to lower diesel fuel prices. On-time performance (OTP) continues to keep an element of performance on the bright side: for June the Capitol Corridor OTP was 95 percent; YTD OTP is 95 percent keeping the Capitol Corridor on top of the leader board in service reliability in the Amtrak system.
A detailed analysis of ridership information from the ridership database for the fiscal year from October 2012 to May 2013 indicates the following:
Ridership is steady on the weekends Ridership is growing in the San Jose/Silicon Valley travel market Ridership is increasing in the reverse peak direction trains (to Sacramento in the morning and to the Bay Area/San Jose in the afternoon) Ridership continues to have sustained losses in the Placer County trains and overall losses at the Sacramento Station that cannot offset increases noted above
In fact, those city pairs associated with Sacramento Station in the top 25 city-pairs represent a ridership loss of 4 percent, which coincides with the June dip in ridership.
Standard June 2013 vs. May 2012 YTD vs. Prior YTD vs. FY13 Plan Ridership 138,293 -4.4% 1,284,635 -3.4% -5.7% Revenue $2,402,893 -5.5% $22,012,786 -0.7% -6.3% Operating Ratio 44% 47% 54% 50% 52% OTP 95% 94% 95% 94% 90% Notes: June 2013 ridership for the Capitol Corridor decreased by 4.4% versus June 2012, resulting in a year-to-date loss of 3.4% ridership. Year-to-date, revenues are slightly below last year's revenues by 0.7%. OTP for June was 95% - the number 1 spot for June and keeping the Capitol Corridor as the most reliable service in the Amtrak system. The YTD operating ratio has improved to 54% due to reduced fuel costs.
Actions to Address Ridership Drop at Sacramento
Immediate-term: effective July 15, morning trains coming into Sacramento from Placer County and the Bay Area will arrive five minutes earlier to accommodate the longer distance from the new platforms to the Sacramento Regional Transit (Sac RT) light rail trains; this will ensure passengers can make that connection. Please note that staff has received emails from passengers praising this schedule adjustment.
Near-term (2-3 years): CCJPA staff has been meeting with Sac RT to help support Sac RT’s efforts to complete the design and environmental plans to move the current light train platform closer to the tunnel portal, which will shorten the transfer time between light rail and Capitol Corridor and Amtrak trains; the goal is to begin construction within the next two to three years.
16 Attachment 2
Metrolink Service Performance
Average weekday ridership on Metrolink trains in June 2013 recorded a 4.1 percent decrease from a year earlier. This decline is part of a trend that started last year when ridership growth began to decelerate in November 2012, and turned negative beginning in January 2013 (Figure 1). Since January, Metrolink has been experiencing a decline in average weekday ridership every month. Losses reached 4.1 percent in June, but could be limited to less than 1 percent in July 2013.
Ridership losses are systemic and are impacting all lines, with the exception only of the Inland Empire Orange County (IEOC) Line (Figure 2.). Weekend ridership continues to be strong. Although weekend ridership has been growing by 30 percent annually, it has not translated into new weekday commuters.
Figure 2. Average Weekday Ridership by Line Jun- Jun- Line 2012 2013 Change % Change Ventura County Line 3,897 3,847 -51 -1% Antelope Valley Line 6,326 5,924 -402 -6% San Bernardino Line 12,407 11,521 -886 -7% Riverside Line 5,160 4,935 -226 -4% Orange County Line 8,148 8,039 -108 -1% IEOC Line 4,234 4,512 278 7% 91 Line 2,707 2,342 -364 -13%
17
These ridership losses can be traced to economic conditions, an increasing churn rate, and a decline in Metrolink’s core ridership segment: commuters traveling to Los Angeles Union Station. As these commuters defect, they are not being replaced by new commuters. Several findings support this hypothesis:
1. All lines serving Los Angeles County experience ridership losses. The only line exhibiting strong ridership growth is the IEOC Line, which does not serve Los Angeles. 2. During the fourth quarter, Monthly Pass sales declined 4.7 percent over the same quarter a year earlier. 3. The largest ridership losses were recorded for trips to and from LA Union Station, down 3.5 percent year over year. 4. Large ridership increases were recorded for trips to Orange County, but not by enough to compensate for other losses (Union Station accounts for 63% of all weekday trips). 5. Downtown Los Angeles lags the region in job growth, in part, because of the high concentration of the government sector, which has been shedding jobs. 6. Downtown Los Angeles also experiences increasing office vacancy rates. “Negative absorption rates will likely continue, meaning the vacancy rate is not likely to drop any time soon.” (Los Angeles Business Journal, July 22, 2013).

CORRIDOR MARKETING UPDATE File Number 3400600
Introduction
Joint meetings of the LOSSAN member agency marketing and communications staff were identified as one of the improvements in the LOSSAN Corridor Quick Improvements Study (2008). Joint marketing/communications/planning staff meetings have been held bimonthly since July 2011. The last meeting was held July 11, 2013, with staff from Amtrak, LA Metro, Metrolink, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), and Santa Barbara County Association of Governments to discuss current marketing efforts and future joint marketing opportunities. The following is the meeting summary.
Joint Timetable Update
Danny Veeh (SANDAG) mentioned that the Pacific Surfliner schedule changes slightly for the Del Mar race season and that the LOSSAN joint timetable will be updated to reflect these changes. The Amtrak published timetable uses footnotes to indicate the alternate Del Mar schedules. The Metrolink and COASTER schedules will be changed in October.
Pacific Surfliner Update
The San Diego Comic-Con conference and the Del Mar Races opening weekend fall on the same weekend. Due to the high demand, Amtrak will be requiring reservations for travel on July 19, 20, and 21. This weekend will be operated the same as the Thanksgiving weekend, so that all passengers are guaranteed seating. No Rail2Rail passengers are allowed on Amtrak during this weekend. Amtrak also will be adding an exclusive Cross Country Café Dining and Lounge Car to accommodate more passengers on select trains that serve the races.
There were 2,440 bike reservations made in June during the first month of the new bike reservation program. There is no cost for bike reservations with purchase of an Amtrak ticket. National Train Day took place on May 11, 2013, with 10,000 visitors and 25 exhibitors at the event at Union Station. The Oxnard Strawberry Festival Kids Ride Free promotion generated $6,000 in additional revenue. Upcoming events include the International Travel Show, San Diego Chargers, Oxnard Salsa Festival, Paso Robles Lavender Festival, and San Luis Obispo Concerts in the Plaza. Amtrak is working on a San Diego Kids Ride Free program in October.
20 Metrolink Update
Metrolink, in conjunction with OCTA, partnered with the Orange County Fair to promote riding the train to the fair with a wrapped train and the Orange County Fair Express Shuttle. The Angels Express service has been successful and will continue throughout the baseball season. The special baseball series train carried 600 riders from Orange County to Union Station for an Angels/Dodgers game with special guest riders including Tommy Lasorda. Metrolink is considering a special train for a Padres/Dodgers series.
Metrolink ticket stock has been upgraded to include TAP card technology that allows Metrolink riders to transfer to Metro Rail services for free. Metrolink carried 800 bikes for the June CicLAvia event in Los Angeles. Metrolink and Thousand Oaks Transit will run shuttle service between Thousand Oaks and Moorpark to serve connecting Amtrak and Metrolink trains. There is no cost for the shuttle with a valid Metrolink pass. Metrolink also is working with Amtrak to add a barcode to the Metrolink monthly passes that allow an Amtrak conductor to scan the Metrolink ticket for verification and to count Rail2Rail passengers.
LA Metro Update
Metro announced that in August they will be adding more Antelope Valley Line Metrolink service on Sundays for a total of six roundtrips on both Saturday and Sunday.
Corridor Public Communications and Upcoming Construction Window
An absolute work window (AWW) is set for July 12-14 south of the Solana Beach Station for double track construction in the Sorrento Valley area of San Diego County. There will be no rail service south of Solana Beach. North County Transit District will operate special bus service from Solana Beach to Old Town and Santa Fe Depot. OCTA is considering an AWW in September in San Clemente for a station rehabilitation project.

SELECTION OF THE LOSSAN MANAGING AGENCY File Number 3400600
Introduction
The Board of Directors approved a Request for Proposals (RFP) for selecting a Managing Agency at its April 17, 2013, meeting. Staff released the RFP on April 30, 2013 (www.lossan.org/rfp). Three proposals were received by the June 14, 2013, deadline from the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (SDMTS), Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and LA Metro. Each agency also made an informational presentation at the June 19, 2013, Board of Directors meeting.
A seven-person Screening Committee was appointed by the Chair and included Board Members Brown and Orlando, and representation from the Member Agency Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and independent members from the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC). Board Member Brown served as the Committee Chair. These members individually rated each proposal using the evaluation criteria approved by the Board of Directors as part of the RFP (Attachment 1). On July 22, 2013, the Committee met to compile individual scores into a committee recommendation. OCTA received the highest overall score and was the Committee’s recommended agency.
The Member Agency CEOs discussed the Screening Committee’s recommendation at their August 5, 2013, meeting and did not have concerns.
Each of the three proposing agencies has been asked by the Chair to provide an overview of their proposal at the Board meeting prior to the Board considering the Screening Committee’s recommendation. (Each proposal is available on the meeting agenda page at www.lossan.org.)
Recommendation
The Screening Committee recommends that the Board of Directors enter into negotiations of an Administrative Support Agreement with OCTA with the intent to serve as the LOSSAN Managing Agency.

Discussion
Individual committee members used the criteria in Attachment 1 to rate each of the three proposals. Each individual’s scores for each evaluation criteria were then averaged into a collective score for that criteria and summed, shown in Table 1.

* Average of individual Screening Committee member scores
Committee members were unanimous in their belief that LOSSAN was privileged to receive three very qualified proposals, that any one of these agencies could perform the role of Managing Agency, and that LOSSAN is fortunate to have this caliber of Member Agencies. The Committee’s decision was difficult, with several comments referring to the high quality of each proposal. However, a few aspects of OCTA’s proposal were highlighted by the Committee:
Cost-effective proposal Strong staff team, including cost-effective integration of shared staff Proven consensus building style, since OCTA lead the effort to build consensus related to the formation of the LOSSAN Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) Strong, experienced Managing Director proposed
23
Proposal was collaborative in terms of cultivating relationships and involving corridor agencies in key initiatives Staff proposal was strongest Staff team has deeper bench regarding intercity railroad experience and corridor knowledge Strategic advisors have long history with Amtrak and know how to run intercity service Good use of CEO as an advisor in interagency transfer agreement (ITA) negotiation efforts Good commitment to corridor both in terms of capital improvements and service enhancements

CALIFORNIA PASSENGER RAIL PROGRAM GUIDING PRINCIPLES File Number 3400600
Introduction
The Chairs from the LOSSAN, Capitol, San Joaquin, and Coast Rail Corridors meet periodically either at joint leadership meetings or for advocacy trips to Sacramento and/or Washington D.C. In addition, staff from the corridor agencies along with Caltrans and Amtrak holds a biweekly call to coordinate joint activities. The Board leadership is currently developing a set of overall guiding principles for the state’s passenger rail network, in conjunction with a number of agencies.
The Board provided the following comments based on a review of the initial draft at the June 19, 2013, meeting:
Preservation of Amtrak’s long-distance, nationwide system is crucial to the ongoing success of the statewide passenger rail network. Connectivity to rail stations, including the various connecting forms of transportation available to passengers.
The Chairs and Vice Chairs from the intercity rail corridor boards met on July 19, 2013, to further refine these principles. Attachment 1 shows the current working draft version of these principles. Attachment 2 shows the attendees who contributed to these changes. Changes made at the board leadership meeting or subsequent staff-level meetings include:
Inclusion of all modes of rail transportation and connecting services. Additional specific provisions to support at both the state and federal levels (listed under the first bullet). Support for state-owned, standardized intercity rail rolling stock. Support for additional state sources of funds by lowering required voter approval thresholds and allocating a share of future cap-and-trade funds to rail. Support for funding program streamlining.
The Board is welcome to make additional comments at this time. Pending further refinement, the Board will be asked to consider approval at the September 25, 2013, meeting.

CALIFORNIA PASSENGER RAIL PROGRAM GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Protect and enhance California’s investment in the existing successful passenger rail system, including sustainable and recurring new sources of funds at both the state and federal levels. Specifically support:
a. A new recurring state source of capital and operations funds to cover the existing passenger rail corridors and emerging corridors throughout the state. b. A new program for state of good repair improvements to existing rail corridors that facilitate the movement of passengers and freight. c. Allocations of State Propositions 1A, 1B, and other current and future funds in support of high-speed services and connecting transit services, including commuter and state-supported passenger rail. d. “High-Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail” (HSIPR) programs title in federal surface transportation reauthorization, funded by other than the current Highway Trust Fund revenues. e. The American Public Transit Association’s (APTA’s) recommendation for $50 billion in federal funding over an initial six year period for the development of a nationwide HSIPR network. Support priority investments in integrated passenger rail networks that connect both existing services and future high-speed service which can in turn influence mode shift to be more sustainable and efficient and have positive impacts on the environment.
Procure a fleet of state-owned, standardized, bi-level rolling stock to support existing and future intercity passenger service.
Continue partnerships at the federal, state, regional, and local levels in support of future passenger rail investments which support safety, reliability, goods movement, job creation, sustainability, economic development, and quality of life.
Support lowering voter approval thresholds at the regional level in order to create new sources for rail investments.
Support state efforts to dedicate a portion of cap and trade funds for public transportation systems and specifically for the development and improvement of an integrated passenger rail network.
Support streamlining of existing programs and policies to expedite efficient development of passenger rail improvements (e.g., RRIF, TIFIA).

UPDATE ON LOSSAN CORRIDOR CAPITAL PROJECTS File Number 3400600
Introduction
Approximately two-thirds of the 351-mile LOSSAN corridor is currently a single track. As a result, the LOSSAN Corridorwide Strategic Implementation Plan identified an extensive capital improvement program in excess of $4 billion in additional capacity, station improvements, signal and communications improvements, and other capital projects.
The corridor’s owners and developers have a number of projects currently in varying degrees of development, from planning to final design to construction (Attachment 1). Projects are currently under construction in San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties, with additional projects in preliminary engineering or final design along other segments of the corridor. Attachment 1 provides the status of corridor capital projects. Projects currently in construction are highlighted below.
San Diego County
Sorrento to Miramar Phase 1: This project constructs 1.1 miles of double track just south of the Sorrento Valley COASTER station in the City of San Diego, which will benefit COASTER and Pacific Surfliner passenger service and Burlington Northern Sante Fe (BNSF) freight service. The $42 million project is scheduled to be open to the public in 2013 and is funded by a combination of state and local transportation dollars.
Santa Margarita River Bridge: This project constructs 0.8 miles of double track and replaces an aging single track bridge with a double track structure on Camp Pendleton. The $44 million project is approximately 80 percent complete, with an open for service date of 2014.
Tecolote Washington Crossovers: This project constructs crossovers at Tecolote and Washington Streets, which are north and south of the Old Town Transit Center respectively, in the City of San Diego. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2013 and will increase the operational flexibility of the corridor.
Orange County
Sand Canyon Grade Separation: The Sand Canyon Avenue grade separation project is located in the City of Irvine. The $56 million project will lower Sand Canyon Avenue under the railroad tracks to provide a new, grade-separated crossing. A railroad bridge for two existing railroad tracks and a
31
future third track, as well as a bicycle path, are being constructed. Construction is underway and expected to be complete by mid-2014.
Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Parking Expansion: This $4.4 million project will add a new surface- level parking lot and landscaping at the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Metrolink station. This project will increase the parking count at the station by 176 spaces for a total parking count of 460 spaces. Construction of the expanded parking lot began April 2013 and is expected to be complete in October 2013.
Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC): ARTIC is a multimodal transportation center in the City of Anaheim that will facilitate convenient travel and connections via train, intercity bus, taxi, car, and local transit, and also accommodate planned high-speed rail service. The $190 million ARTIC project will relocate the existing Metrolink/Amtrak station from its current location at Angel Stadium to the ARTIC facility across from the Honda Center. The 16-acre site also will feature supporting retail, restaurants, and civic space and passenger services within the building. The City of Anaheim is leading the ARTIC project development. Construction began in September 2012 and is anticipated to be completed in late 2014.
Los Angeles County
Los Angeles to Fullerton Triple Track: A key bottleneck in the corridor is the section of double track between Fullerton and Los Angeles, heavily used by passenger trains and BNSF freight trains. Caltrans has completed approximately 35 percent of Segment 7 of 8 segments of triple track, which also includes two grade separation projects. These projects total $267 million and are funded by state and federal transportation sources.
