The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), a member of the LOSSAN joint powers authority, provides day-to-day administration for the LOSSAN Agency, including management and staffing, marketing, capital project oversight, and direct management of the operating contract with Amtrak, to provide the service. The LOSSAN Agency is a joint powers authority formed in 1989 that works to increase ridership, revenue, reliability, and coordination of rail services along the corridor. The agency is governed by an 11-member board representing rail owners, operators and planning agencies from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. Local oversight of the Pacific Surfliner by the LOSSAN Agency is expected to enhance customer service, ensure efficient use of resources, and provide more effective decisions about train schedules, onboard amenities, capital projects, and service expansions similar to other services in the state such as the Capitol Corridor. The State of California through its state Department of Transportation previously governed the corridor. (Source: OCTA, http://blog.octa.net/octa-assumes-amtrak-pacific-surfliner-administrative-duties. ) HISTORY The Pacific Surfliner is the busiest state supported route in the Amtrak network. Operations along the route have been in place since Amtrak was originally created in 1971, however the main service route originally was only from Los Angeles to San Diego. The route’s name was changed from the San Diegan to the Pacific Surfliner beginning in April 2000. The service was later extended northward to San Luis Obispo to replace service originally provided by other Amtrak routes. On August 16, 2016, California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) announced the award of $82 million in 2016 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant funds to the LOSSAN Agency, representing the single largest award to any agency. The grant award includes $66 million to advance work on a number of high-priority capital improvements on the LOSSAN rail corridor, including the addition of more than five miles of new double track, replacement of five railway bridges, station and safety enhancements, and signal and switch upgrades. In November 2016, the LOSSAN Agency, the state of California, and BNSF Railway added two daily frequencies to the Pacific Surfliner service.1 Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Photo Source: Amtrak, https://www.amtrak.com/pacific-surfliner-train 1 Amtrak History Timeline.

  • Capitol Corridor Service Performance

    Capitol Corridor Service Performance

    CAPITOL CORRIDOR SERVICE PERFORMANCE In July 2016, the Capitol Corridor had one of its best months in the history of the service. Ridership was the highest ever, with a total of 128,655 passengers, a 1.7% year‐over‐year (YOY) increase. Revenue was up 4.6% compared to July 2015. Compared to June 2016, On‐ Time Performance (OTP) slipped slightly from 96% to 95%, yet was still above the FY16 standard of 90%. The Year‐To‐Date (YTD) results continue to be in positive territory. Compared to FY15, FYTD16 ridership and revenue are up 5.5%, with the System Operating Ratio at 55%, five percentage points above the 50% standard. YTD OTP is 94%, which keeps the Capitol Corridor in the #1 spot for service reliability in the national Amtrak intercity passenger rail network. The FYTD16 customer satisfaction scores (through June 2016) are at 89% “Highly Satisfied”, one point above the FY16 standard of 88%. The following are ridership highlights for July 2016: Average weekend ridership for July was down 7% versus July 2015. To address these continued decreases in weekend ridership, the CCJPA is modifying the weekend/holiday train schedule effective August 22, 2016, to slot trains at times that align with typical weekend travel patterns. Average July weekday ridership yielded a 9% increase thanks to continued growth on the trains serving San Jose/Silicon Valley and Placer County stations. Amtrak has sent detailed performance results (see attached) for June 2016 and provided below is a summary of the attached tables: OTP: June 2016 system end‐point OTP was a stellar 96% compared to 93% for May 2016.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.
