The $10 billion program will upgrade Metrolink’s regional/commuter rail system ahead of the LA 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Metrolink currently operates seven lines along a 538-mile network across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. SCORE’s first phase focuses on expanding Orange-, Ventura- and San Bernardino-line service, including track additions as well as station and signal improvements. It is expected to be completed in 2023. Metrolink’s goal is to achieve 30-minute, bidirectional service during peak periods.
