LA Segments

Metro and High-Speed Rail in Southern California

Because California’s HSR line will serve Los Angeles, Metro will have an active role in developing its stations and facilities and integrating local public transit to create a seamless transportation system within LA County.

Los Angeles and Orange County

Initial plans call for Union Station to serve as the hub linking Los Angeles and Orange County. High-speed trains will travel along the existing Los Angeles to San Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor providing service from LA Union Station to the future Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC). A potential station is also being considered in either Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs or Fullerton.

Los Angeles to San Diego (via the Inland Empire)

Existing transportation corridors would be used to link Los Angeles/San Gabriel Valley with the Inland Empire and San Diego. An intermodal facility at Ontario Airport provides a key air-rail interface for Southern California. The Inland Empire would be linked to San Diego by an alternative on either the I-15 or I-215 corridor with a potential station at Murrieta/Temecula. The line would then proceed to downtown San Diego with a potential intermodal facility at Lindbergh Field Airport, further strengthening the air-rail connections of this section.

Los Angeles and Palmdale

Direct HSR service would connect Union Station with the Antelope Valley community of Palmdale via multimodal stations in Burbank and San Fernando/Sylmar.
