  • Proudly Serving Southern California for 20 Years Message from the Board of Directors 1
    20th Anniversary Report Proudly serving Southern California for 20 years Message from the Board of Directors 1 1 Who we are 2 2 How it all began 4 3 Metrolink steps up in Northridge earthquake aftermath 8 4 Holiday Toy Express® comes to town 10 5 Paving the way for more connections 12 6 Tragedy strikes the Metrolink family, sparks safety innovation 14 7 Chatsworth collision inspires safety transformation 18 8 Focusing on customers 30 9 Reducing emissions and congestion one car at a time 38 10 What’s next 42 Timeline 46 System maps 48 Sources 50 ii Message from the Board of Directors On Oct. 26, 2012, Metrolink celebrates 20 years of providing transportation solutions to Southern Californians. In 1988, Southern California commuters voiced a need for commuter rail service as an alternative to the widespread gridlock in our region, and transportation officials from five counties banded together to make it happen. Metrolink has grown tremendously, from transporting around 939,000 riders during fiscal year 1992-1993 to more than 11.9 million riders in fiscal year 2011-2012. Sixty-five percent of passengers surveyed after Metrolink’s first year of service said that they drove alone before Metrolink’s debut. Today an estimated 8.5 million weekday automobile trips are removed from the road each year because of the service Metrolink provides. Throughout its history when the public needed a solution, Metrolink rose to the challenge, whether that meant extending service lines like we did after the 1994 Northridge earthquake when freeways collapsed or introducing Bike Cars in 2011 to accommodate growing demand for bicycle storage on trains or adding service on the Ventura County and Antelope Valley lines during the Interstate 405 closures in 2011 and 2012.

The Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s (SCRRA) Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) program is an ambitious long-term capital improvement program to increase service on most of its lines to 15- and 30-minute frequencies, and SCRRA was recently awarded nearly one billion dollars in TIRCP funds for initial improvements. Finally, the report takes a look at existing conditions; a needs assessment which discusses, among other things, capacity constraints and opportunities for improved connectivity, including rail access to the region’s airports; and rail projects in the pipeline, both under construction and unfunded strategic long-term projects.
