Title
Continuance of Rail 2 Rail Agreements with the Southern California Regional Rail Authority and North County Transit District
Overview
The Rail 2 Rail Program provided significant benefits to passengers traveling on the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo rail corridor by increasing the number of train operations for travel along the corridor, particularly now that service by all agencies has been reduced in response to the policies and restrictions that have been implemented to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The agreements to provide the Rail 2 Rail Program between the Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink and COASTER services on the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo rail corridor expire June 30, 2020 and July 31, 2020, respectively. Staff will provide an update on the efforts to prepare an amendment to the existing agreements to continue the program.
