The Metro Center Project (MCP) comprises the co-location of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and a new Security Operations Center (SOC) to enhance Metro's security, disaster, and counter-terrorism response capabilities. Metro's current Emergency Operations Center is operating at capacity and needs to be expanded to accommodate Metro's new rail lines. Metro does not currently have a SOC.

As Metro continues to expand its service, the existing system could have a delayed response in coordinating with law enforcement agencies to address threats or hazards on the system.

The new EOC will enhance coordination and communication with regional partners to prevent, minimize, or respond to, and recover from any major incident, serious hazard, or terrorist attack.
