California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) and Secretary Toks Omishakin recently issued a letter to Southern California transportation agencies in which he committed to conducting a study to plan for future investments on the Los Angeles–San Diego–San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) rail corridor.
The critical transportation corridor serves millions of passengers annually and is in need of short-term stabilization efforts and long-term solutions, according to a press release issued by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), one of the transit agencies that operates on the corridor. Omishakin said that the state will commit to addressing immediate issues while also developing permanent solutions, including potential rail relocations in Orange and San Diego counties.
CalSTA will coordinate with the Federal Railroad Administration and regional partners to streamline project timelines and permitting processes, according to the press release.
Partners on the study include OCTA, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, North County Transit District, Riverside County Transportation Commission, Southern California Association of Governments and San Diego Association of Governments.
