Title
Cooperative Agreement for Continuance of the Rail 2 Rail Program with North County Transit District
Overview
The Rail 2 Rail Program provides significant benefits to passengers traveling on the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo rail corridor by increasing the number of train options for travel along the corridor. The agreement to provide the Rail 2 Rail Program between the Pacific Surfliner and COASTER services on the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo rail corridor is set to expire on July 31, 2018, and a new agreement is necessary to continue the program. Staff has worked with North County Transit District and Amtrak to update key provisions of the Rail 2 Rail agreement, and is seeking Board of Directors’ approval to continue the Rail 2 Rail program with the North County Transit District and Amtrak.
Recommendation(s)
Authorize the Managing Director to negotiate and execute Agreement No. L-8-0013 between the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency, North County Transit District, and Amtrak to continue the Rail 2 Rail program for a term of one year.
