Grant Allows LOSSAN to Restore Trips between Los Angeles and San Diego

The Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency, which manages the Amtrak® Pacific Surfliner® train service, has received a $27 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to increase train frequencies between Los Angeles and San Diego.

The grant helps fund the operation of three roundtrips between Los Angeles and San Diego, increasing frequency to 13 daily Pacific Surfliner roundtrips along this segment and fully restoring service to levels that existed on the corridor prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Orange County, the Pacific Surfliner serves Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente.

LOSSAN is a joint powers authority overseeing the management of the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service. OCTA provides all necessary administrative support for the LOSSAN Agency and its Board.
