Overview

Connecting LA and Orange County...in 20 minutes!

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) includes $8 billion for High-Speed Rail (HSR). Metro is coordinating with the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Federal and State agencies to help secure a portion of this designated funding for this segment.

Once funding is secured, Metro, the Orange County Transportation Authority and the California High-Speed Rail Authority will work together to build this vital Southern California train connection.

High-speed trains will be able to travel between Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles and the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), Orange County’s transportation hub located in Anaheim adjacent to Angel Stadium, the Honda Center, Disneyland and Downtown Disney in just 20 minutes.

Compare that with driving the same heavily congested freeway corridor; the peak-period trip clocks in at over an hour.
