Meeting_Body OPERATIONS, SAFETY, AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE COMMITTEE OCTOBER 15, 2020 Subject SUBJECT: REGIONAL CONNECTOR SERVICE PLAN Action ACTION: APPROVE RECOMMENDATION Heading RECOMMENDATION Title APPROVE Alternative A (Long Beach - APU/Citrus College and Santa Monica - Atlantic) as the opening day service plan for Regional Connector. Issue ISSUE The Regional Connector is anticipated to open in the Summer of 2022. This project will connect the A Line (Blue), E Line (Expo) and L Line (Gold) into one integrated light rail network with all trains serving three new stations through downtown LA. The service plan described in the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) of the 2012 Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) described trains routed through downtown LA in a North/South and East/West configuration connecting Long Beach to APU/Citrus College and beyond and Santa Monica to Atlantic and beyond. This service plan has been referenced in public outreach and engagement through the EIS/EIR stage of the project as well as during construction. The Board action recommended in this report seeks to validate and approve the LPA as the service plan for operations starting opening day of the Regional Connector. Discussion DISCUSSION The Regional Connector Transit Project is a 1.9 mile Light Rail Transit extension that will connect the A Line (Blue) and E Line (Expo) with the L Line (Gold) through downtown LA.
