Transit Extensions to Metrolink

under construction

Metrolink rail service provides another convenient travel option for Orange County residents. As more and more people use Metrolink, it is important that passengers have a convenient way to get to their final destination after getting off a train. Measure M2 Project S, known as Transit Extensions to Metrolink, is providing funding to connect people between a Metrolink station and activity and employment centers throughout the county. Two types of projects are being funded through Project S: fixed-guideways and bus and station vans. The Santa Ana - Garden Grove Streetcar project will travel along an east-west corridor between the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) and a new multi-modal transit hub at Harbor Boulevard/Westminster Boulevard in Garden Grove. Bus and Station Van Extension projects help enhance the frequency of service in the Metrolink corridor by linking communities within the central core of Orange County. To date, the Board has approved one round of funding for bus and van extension projects, totaling over $730,000 in Fiscal Year 2012-13. While four projects were approved by the Board, currently three have been cancelled and only the Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Bus Connection is in service. Another call for projects may be determined in the future.
