Metrolink Awarded $6.5 Million State Grant
Metrolink commuter rail in Los Angeles has received $6.5 million from the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to begin preparation for the first projects in the Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) Program, a $10 billion plan to improve regional rail service in time for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
“SCORE is a regional approach to improve our system to provide 15- and 30-minute service with some lines operating more often during peak hours,” said Metrolink Chief Executive Officer Art Leahy.
The $6.5 million is the first down payment on an $876 million grant from the state Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) to provide grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and Senate Bill 1 to fund transformative capital improvements that will modernize the state’s transportation infrastructure. The total amount is being made available over a 10-year period.
