Meeting_Body PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING COMMITTEE SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 Subject/Action SUBJECT: REGIONAL RAIL UPDATE ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE Heading RECOMMENDATION Title RECEIVE AND FILE the Regional Rail Update for April through June 2016. 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 Authority's (Metro) commitment to the commuter, intercity, and high speed rail networks serving Los Angeles County. This unit also coordinates and manages capital improvement projects along the Metro owned commuter rail right-of-way. Discussion DISCUSSION Background Metro is the largest member agency for the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), the operator of the Metrolink commuter rail network. Metrolink carries approximately 42,000 riders per day throughout the southern California Region. Metro is also a member of the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency. This Joint Powers Authority (JPA) coordinates the passenger rail services of the three carriers (Amtrak, Metrolink, and COASTER) within this intercity rail corridor. Metro Regional Rail is instrumental in planning and coordination efforts within the County of Los Angeles for the future high speed rail program connecting northern California to southern California. Regional Rail coordinates and manages capital improvement projects for the Metro owned and Metrolink operated right-of-way and is involved with regional and statewide groups working to develop integrated passenger rail service in the state. Capital Projects The Regional Rail unit has 11 capital improvement projects that it is actively managing. These projects range from environmental and planning studies to the design of capacity and safety related projects. 1. Bob Hope Airport/Hollywood Way Station, Antelope Valley Line This proje...
