Overview

The Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency has programmed $19,000,000 in funding for long-term corridor hardening and coastal resiliency improvements along the Santa Barbara Subdivision in partnership with Union Pacific Railroad. Staff have worked with Union Pacific Railroad to identify the most critical and urgent locations where there is the need to stabilize the track and adjacent bluffs. To advance work at these critical locations, staff are seeking Board of Directors’ approval to negotiate and execute an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad to deliver the improvements.
