OCTA Advances CRRS, Announces Public Meetings for Input

OCTA

ORANGE COUNTY - OCTA is advancing the Coastal Rail Resiliency Study (CRRS) and has announced additional meetings to gather public input.

Earlier this month, OCTA says its Board of Directors advanced the study, which seeks to find solutions to safeguard the LOSSAN Rail Corridor. Along 7 miles of coast, the rail line suffers from bluff instability and erosion. The CRRS builds on the work conducted by OCTA to protect passenger and freight rail service along the corridor.

OCTA Director Katrina Foley said, “After years of reacting to sea encroaching and bluff destabilization along our rail corridor, we begin studying viable, proactive solutions for the future. While the state undertakes the long-term study to potentially relocate the LOSSAN Rail Corridor, OCTA continues advancing our mid-term stabilization efforts. . . .By investing in sand renourishment to save Orange County’s eroding beaches, OCTA protects our ocean economy and national security, while ensuring rail stability for local commuters for decades to come.”

To gather public input, OCTA is holding two meetings, one virtual and one in-person. All input will go toward shaping the study and a final feasibility report expected next year.
