DISCUSSION
On October 14, 2005, the OCTA Board of Directors approved a package of
projects as a substitute for the Centerline Project that would satisfy
the air quality goals established for rapid transit projects. The Board
also approved a five-year program of rapid transit projects using the
existing Metro1ink commuter rail corridor as the backbone of the Orange
County's transit system. Additionally, on February 27, 2006, the aCTA
Board approved a four-step process for City-Initiated Transit Extensions
to Metrolink, now known as the Go Local program as shown below:
25K-1
RTC Metrolink Extension Studies
February 5, 2007
Page 2 of 3
· Step one allocates up to a total of $3.4 million for cities to
develop a local transit vision and conduct initial planning. All
cities are eligible to receive $100,000 grants, once they execute a
cooperative agreement with aCTA.
· Step two is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2008 and
makes available the remainder of $30 million on a competitive basis
to further develop the most promising projects.
· Step three is planned to coincide with the availability of renewed
Measure M funds, proj ects may move into proj ect development and
implementation, and the major projects will presumably advance into
a federally funded preliminary engineering effort.
· Step four focuses resources on transforming the Metrolink stations
into major multi-modal transportation centers.
Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) has been working with City staff and has
recently completed the Santa Ana Transit Master Plan (Exhibit 1). In
Step one of the Go Local Program PB will be studying in more detail the
transit feeder alignment concepts derived from the Transit Master Plan.
The four transit feeder service alignments currently under consideration
will connect the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) with
the Civic Center and Downtown area, Main Place, Bowers Museum District
and the South Coast Metro Area. In addition options to extend this
service to the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service along Harbor
Boulevard via the former Pacific Electric (PE) Right-of-way, 17th Street
Bristol Street and Edinger Avenue, and the John Wayne Airport via
Sunflower Avenue, Bear Street and Interstate 405 will be considered.
Staff recommends that the City execute the cooperative agreement with
aCTA to receive an additional $100,000 to study the transit feeder
alignment concepts described above. Staff also recommends that the City
execute an amendment to the agreement with PB to provide consultant
support services to conduct the Metrolink extension studies that will
meet the various Federal transit agencies' guidelines. This will enable
Santa Ana to complete Step one of the Go Local Program and have a
project (s) ready for submittal for Step two which makes available $30
million for further development of the most promising projects.
As stated previously, the additional $100,000 will be used for consultant
services to complete Step one of the Go Local program. The amended
contract is estimated at total contract amount not-to-exceed $254,000.
