Why Metrolink MAX?

Traffic congestion is increasing on highways between Los Angeles and Orange Counties. An upgrade of the I-5 through the Gateway Cities is at least a decade away. Metrolink commuter-oriented rail service parallels the freeway but is infrequent and has no late-night and sparse weekend service.

Los Angeles County continues to lag in making Metrolink more convenient to the passenger. To the south, Orange County will have Metrolink trains running every 30 minutes by the end of the decade. With some modest track improvements, the same kind of service can be brought to the San Fernando Valley, Downtown L.A., San Gabriel Valley and southeast L.A. County.

The Transit Coalition aims to increase Metrolink train frequencies in the Southland to 30 minutes between trains, including late at night and weekends, through our Metrolink MAX campaign! Our mission is to empower you to fight for trains every 30 minutes along the Ventura County, San Bernardino and Antelope Valley Lines, with regional rail service to other areas of the Southland! Metrolink MAX would yield many great benefits that cannot be attained while Metrolink service remains rush-hour-oriented.

Act Now!

Change will not happen unless those who care ask for improvement. As a first line of action, we need you to write a letter to the Metro Board that shows your support of 30-minute headways on Metrolink trains from Chatsworth to Laguna Niguel and elsewhere. For greater ease, you can also fill out postcards and send them off to your respective four Metro Board members. Your letters can instill interest in regional rail by bringing it to the attention of transportation leaders.

Help Us Out!

The Transit Coalition will hold its monthly dinner meeting on Tuesday, August 26. Learn more about this event and come on over!
