In response to our request, the California Transportation Commission has awarded OCTA $7.2 million to help restore a critical link in Southern California’s rail network. This funding allows the OCTA and Metrolink project team to construct a catchment wall in San Clemente and perform other mitigation to protect the track from soil and debris from a privately owned slope that slid into the rail right of way in late January.OCTA, Metrolink and the LOSSAN Rail Agency are working to safely resume limited passenger rail service as soon as possible.
