ORANGE – The OrangeCounty Transportation Authority Board of Directors on Monday authorized emergency actions to stabilize sections of railroad track threatened by coastal erosion and landslides in San Clemente, moving forward with urgent work to ensure continued passenger and freight rail operations through South OrangeCounty.

Since 1991 OCTA has kept residents and commuters moving throughout Orange County by bus, freeway, rail, bike, walking, and rideshare programs.

Every four years, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) develops the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which OCTA uses to identify projects that can be funded over the next 20 to 25 years, and to evaluate their impact on future travel conditions.

Improvements are planned along Metrolink’s Orange County, Inland Empire- Orange County (IE-OC), and 91/Perris Valley Lines, which operate along the Orange and Olive Subdivisions, the former which also serves as the LOSSAN Rail Corridor, upon which Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner operates.

OCTA remains on track to improve Orange County’s transportation network, according to the recent findings of an independent Measure M2 Performance Assessment.

This includes bus and rail transit, rideshare, environmental programs, active transportation and express lanes and freeways. OCTA continues to move Orange County forward.

Last week, Congress approved a sweeping federal infrastructure bill that will bring billions of dollars in new transportation funding nationally and help improve the way we move right here in Orange County.

Repairing potholes, repaving streets, synchronizing signals, enhancing safety, supporting local transit solutions – OCTA recently returned nearly $12 million in locally generated sales tax dollars to cities around Orange County for these and other road maintenance projects.

With its year-round good weather and range of roadways and trails, Orange County is a great place to ride a bike. OCTA works with cities, the public and other stakeholders to ensure that active transportation – including biking and walking – is a safe and accessible way to get around Orange County.
