RECEIVE update on the planned increase in passenger rail service along the coast corridor between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Progress since the last update to this Committee in May includes a Policy Committee meeting on June 16.

The Coast Rail project capital and operation costs are under evaluation.

The Coast Rail Coordinating Council (CRCC) is a multi-agency advisory and planning organization focused on improving the rail corridor between Los Angeles and the San Francisco bay area along the California Central Coast. Members of Council include all regional transportation planning agencies along the Central Coast – all of which have a strong interest in improving rail service and the rail infrastructure along the Central Coast’s portion of the California Coast Passenger Rail Corridor.

The Policy Committee met on July 16 to discuss the California State Rail Plan, work at the King City train station, and possible Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program applications. The agenda packet is available as a web attachment. 

The next Working Group call is scheduled for August 20 and the next Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for September 17, although it may be rescheduled to October 15 in order to enable an in-person meeting, potentially in Monterey.
