Pacific Surfliner - FULL CORRIDOR CLOSURE September 12-13th, PARTIAL September 19-20th.

  • Upcoming Corridor-Wide Closure – September 12-13, 2026  There will be no Pacific Surfliner trains operating between San Diego and San Luis Obispo during the weekend of September 12-13, 2026, due to Union Pacific, Metrolink and NCTD track closures both north and south of Los Angeles. No bus bridges will be provided. Please plan ahead for alternate travel arrangements.  Amtrak Connection Bus routes will continue to operate. However, any regularly scheduled train connections to the buses will not be available.  
  • This closure is part of a coordinated effort by the host railroads along the LOSSAN corridor to complete critical track infrastructure projects, while reducing the overall impact on riders. Projects being advanced during the closure include:  The work is occurring concurrently in various locations to reduce the number of future track closures and minimize the overall impact to passengers while making critical infrastructure improvements. 
    • Orange Subdivision (just south of Irvine Station): A reroute of the Borrego Creek channel and the need to jack (or push) a new channel box under the railroad.  This is to extend Marine Way under the tracks and provide additional access to OC Great Park. 
    • Orange Subdivision (San Clemente area): Reconfigure work zones for the on-going slope stabilization and trail reconstruction work 
    • Ventura Subdivision (in Tunnel 26 north of Chatsworth): Ballast cleaning and water pump maintenance to protect track from rotting. 
    • Ventura Subdivision (various locations): General Track maintenance and rehab

     

  • On these days, Coast Starlight #11 will terminate in Emeryville (EMY) and start out of Emeryville (EMY) as Coast Starlight #14.

Partial Closure

  • On September 19 and 20, tracks between Van Nuys and Los Angeles will close to progress needed capital projects and for regular track maintenance. To accommodate Pacific Surfliner passengers during this period, alternative bus connections will be arranged to connect between stations. Stay tuned for bus bridge connection details.

Orange County 2026 Long-Range Transportation Plan

Orange County’s transportation system faces increasing pressure to adapt to a range of long-term challenges such as climate-related risks, aging infrastructure, and evolving travel behaviors. Building a resilient system that can withstand future disruptions is essential to keeping people and goods moving efficiently.

To proactively plan for these changes , the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is updated every four years to define a transportation vision for Orange County that aims to address long-term mobility needs and guide investment decisions over the next 20+ years. The plan considers demographics and travel demand projections, revenues forecasts, and any other emerging trends. It incorporates current OCTA policies and commitments, technical analysis, and input from the public, local jurisdictions, community and business leaders, and transportation professionals.
