The Plan is a plan for integrating, enhancing, and expanding passenger rail service in Orange County as it relates to the implementation of Metrolink’s SCORE Program, or a modified version to better serve demand based in Orange County. While OCTA has developed highlevel long-range plans as part of OCTA’s regularly updated Long-Range Transportation Plan, this Plan is a more focused, passenger rail-specific, long-term strategic plan. This Plan shall feature a number of elements to help improve rail service as SCORE projects are completed and allows for an increase in service levels across the three subdivisions that host rail service in Orange County, including: • Identifying current Metrolink rail service levels and projected expansions to Orange County, IE-OC, and 91/Perris Valley Lines as capital improvements are made as part of Metrolink’s SCORE Program. • Working with the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency to incorporate projected service level increases for Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner, to expand to all day, hourly bi-directional service.
