The City of Anaheim is pleased to announce the launch of the Anaheim Fixed-Guideway Transit Corridor Study for improved mobility choices for residents, workers and visitors of the Anaheim Resort and Platinum Triangle areas.
In 2007 the City of Anaheim, in conjunction with the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Go Local Program, developed a Transit Master Plan to guide the development and implementation of transportation projects over the next 25 years (Go Local Step 1). The Transit Master Plan, which was based on a technical study and public feedback, was intended to address current and future mobility needs in the City. Subsequently, the OCTA board of directors allocated Go Local funds to Anaheim to prepare environmental studies and preliminary engineering for a fixed-guideway project (Go Local Step 2).
Consistent with the Transit Master Plan, we are now advancing the study of a fixed-guideway project. This project proposes to provide a new east/west transit connection between the planned Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), the Platinum Triangle and The Anaheim Resort™. The project is envisioned to operate as a high-capacity system, providing convenient and efficient transfers to Metrolink, Amtrak, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), local bus, and future high-speed train services connecting at ARTIC. This connection will link Orange County’s “backbone” Metrolink commuter rail system to the City of Anaheim’s major employment and activity centers in the Platinum Triangle and The Anaheim Resort™.
Over the next two years, the City of Anaheim will prepare environmental studies and preliminary engineering and environmental studies, including an Alternatives Analysis Report and a joint Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR/EIS) to meet federal and state requirements. The environmental studies will evaluate in detail the impacts and benefits of a fixed-guideway and other project alternatives to identify a locally preferred alternative that will be advanced to the next phase of engineering development and implementation.
