Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority: light rail: West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor.

Existing law creates the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority as the single successor agency to the Southern California Rapid Transit District and the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission. Existing law vests the authority with specified powers and duties relative to transportation planning, programming, and operations in the County of Los Angeles. Existing law authorizes the authority to acquire rights-of-way and to construct rail lines, stations, and other facilities for rapid transit service. This bill would require the authority, or another public agency, if it constructs a light rail project within the right-of-way for the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor, to include or construct, as applicable, 11 specified stations as part of an initial operating segment.
