Beginning in October, Metrolink is adding 32 weekday trains, accounting for a nearly 23% increase in service.
The transformational light rail line will create important new connections with a host of new and existing local and regional transit services in the San Fernando Valley, including Metrolink, Amtrak, Metro G Line, Metro B Line, and other planned Metro transit projects now in the works.
The train’s arrival at the San Bernardino Depot Train Station marks a significant milestone on its incredible journey from concept to reality.
As CEO, Darren Kettle's passion and expertise have guided Metrolink through an unprecedented industry-wide shift in ridership triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
The awards celebrate the commitment and efforts of public transit agencies and their employees who are dedicated to safeguarding the welfare of passengers, employees, and the communities they serve.
Made possible by grant funding from the CRISI program, this pioneering technology creates a better experience for drivers and pedestrians while increasing safety for Metrolink passengers.
The OCTA, which owns the track through San Clemente, worked in partnership with Metrolink, which operates regional passenger rail service, to build a 200-foot-long wall at Mariposa Point, to safely re-establish service on the track.
With all 33 steel beams for the foundation of the wall in place and Amtrak conducting its own risk analysis, the team has agreed that limited Pacific Surfliner service can safely resume to and from San Diego through San Clemente.
Metrolink received about $148 million from the South Coast AQMD to purchase new railcars, while Metra tapped Stadler for zero-emission, battery-powered trainsets.
The new funding from the state allows the OCTA and Metrolink project team to move forward on constructing a catchment wall at Mariposa Point in San Clemente, as well as other mitigation to protect the track from soil and debris.
