The ARTIC Vision
ARTIC (Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center) will be an iconic, timeless
transportation facility where people will seamlessly move between transit services
to reach Southern California activity centers and business districts. Transit oriented
development in the immediate area will integrate with ARTIC to form a vibrant Southern
California community.
A Growing Community
With a population of more than 3 million, Orange County is the second largest county
in California and the fifth largest county in the nation. Population is expected
to continue to grow in the coming decades with a population of 3.7 million expected
by 2040. The city of Anaheim is California's 10th largest city with nearly
350,000 residents and is in the heart of the county. ARTIC will serve
this growing community--now and into the future.
Premier Location
ARTIC is conveniently situated at major freeways and
a short walk from Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Honda Center, home of the 2007 Stanley
Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks. The planned state-of-the-art facility will host a transportation
hub, "LEEDTM Platinum Certified" sustainable building, and a mixed-use
activity center on a 16-acre site publicly owned by the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) and the City of Anaheim.
The ARTIC concept is to:
- Provide easy connections between the Platinum Triangle, Anaheim Resort, the southern
California region and beyond
- Facilitate convenient travel via train, intercity bus, taxi, car, or local transit
- Accommodate high-speed train service infrastructure
The initial phase of the ARTIC development will be relocating
the existing Metrolink station from its current location at Angel Stadium at Anaheim
to the ARTIC site across from Honda Center. It will support existing transit services
as well as accommodate future transit services such as the planned Metrolink service
expansion and future Bus Rapid Transit service.
The station also will feature supporting retail, restaurants, civic space and passenger
services within the building.
Project Development Underway
In February 2009, the OCTA Board of Directors approved an agreement for consultant
services to initiate the environmental review process for ARTIC. OCTA will be the
lead agency for preparing the environmental document and the city of Anaheim will
be the lead for design and construction.
