Draft Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Board of Directors’ Goals and

Initiatives for Fiscal Year 2026-27

Overview

As part of the approval of the 2023 Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail

Corridor Agency Strategic Plan, the Board of Directors directed that the Strategic Plan be

used to guide the development of the annual Board of Directors’ Goals and Initiatives.

These Goals and Initiatives establish the priorities and areas of focus for the year and

serve as the basis for the Agency’s annual Work Plan. Staff has prepared a draft of the

Board Goals and Initiatives for fiscal year 2026-27 for the Executive Committee’ review.

To better align the annual Board of Directors’ Goals and Initiatives and Agency Work Plan

with the Annual Business Plan process, the Goals and Initiatives are being presented to

the Executive Committee and Board of Directors for comments and input in October

2025, with final consideration in February 2026. This will transition the development and

implementation of the Board of Directors’ Goals and Initiatives and the Agency Work Plan

from a calendar year cycle to a state fiscal year cycle to be consistent with the Annual

Business Plan process.

Direct staff to incorporate Executive Committee comments into the Board of Directors’

Goals and Initiatives for fiscal year 2026-27.
