Meeting_Body PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING COMMITTEE JULY 19, 2017 Subject SUBJECT: REGIONAL RAIL Action ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE Heading RECOMMENDATION Title RECEIVE AND FILE status report on the Regional Rail Update through June 2017. Issue ISSUE The Regional Rail unit of the Program Management Department is responsible for providing overall coordination, management, and the programming of funds for Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Agency's (LACMTA) commitment to the commuter, intercity, and high speed rail networks serving Los Angeles County. This unit also manages and coordinates capital improvement projects along the LACMTA owned railroad right-of-way. Discussion DISCUSSION LACMTA is the largest member agency for the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), the operator of the Metrolink commuter rail network. Metrolink carries approximately 40,000 riders per day throughout the southern California Region. LACMTA is a member of the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency.

LACMTA is instrumental in the planning and coordination efforts within the County of Los Angeles for the future high speed rail program connecting northern California to southern California. Staff is involved with regional and statewide groups working to develop integrated passenger rail service in the state. The Regional Rail team coordinates and leads capital improvement projects for the Metro owned and Metrolink operated right-of-way.
