Major New Downtown Santa Ana to Los Angeles Transit Line
 The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), along with Metro and OCTA, is conducting a Transit Alternatives Analysis on the old Pacific Electric Right-of-Way that runs diagonally through the county into LA, going through:
Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Buena Park, Stanton, Cypress, Cerritos, Artesia, Bellflower, & Paramount.
The study will determine if the Right-of-Way can support future transit options such as Bus Rapid Transit, Streetcars, Light Rail, or Commuter Rail. Now it's the public's turn to give input. Attend one of the Community Meetings and let them know what a difference a transit line here can make for OC transit riders!
- GARDEN GROVE: Tuesday, June 15 - 6:30-8:30 pm - Garden Grove Community Center: 11300 Stanford Ave.
- CYPRESS: Thursday, June 17 - 6:30-8:30 pm - Cypress Community Center: 5700 Orange Ave.
- CERRITOS: Saturday, June 19 - 1:00-3:00 pm - Cerritos Park East Community Center: 13234 East 166th St.
- STANTON: Wednesday, June 23 - 6:30-8:30 pm -Stanton Council Chambers: 7800 Katella Ave.

Tell OCTA to build better transit for Central County
 Do you think OCTA should build a new street on the Pacific Electric rail Right-of-Way to connect the SR-22 freeway directly with downtown Santa Ana? How about enhancing Bus Rapid Transit with bypass lanes at intersections, traffic signal priority for transit, real-time passenger information and other improvements at bus stops? Or making pedestrian and bicycle improvements at key intersections and arterials in central Orange County?
Don't miss an opportunity to have your views counted in OCTA's Central County Corridor Major Investment Study survey at www.octa.net/ major_investment_studies(2).aspx. Please take it today!

Thanks. Voted up transit and
Thanks. Voted up transit and voted down freeways across the board.
Light Rail for PE ROW
My recommendation is a light rail line that would terminate at the Santa Ana Train station on the OC end and at the Green line in Paramount with a schedule that would allow connections to get to LA or out to LAX or to Long Beach. Build a double track ROW with electric MU cars.
Why not extend the Green
Why not extend the Green Line? Wouldn't this be better than building another incompatible system that will probably require a lengthy transfer to continue across the county line?
A single seat to LAX would be incredible. Why can't we do it?
