- Explored options for additional operating slots – increased service
levels
- Evaluated use of existing facilities: Moorpark
- Evaluated equipment needs
- Analyzed retiming of Pacific Surfliner Trains
- Ridership and Revenue Analysis
- Operational Analysis

Current Effort
- Joint effort with Metrolink, Amtrak, and LOSSAN Agency to
develop schedules, through the retiming of existing trains, to provide peak period service
- Provide 7:30 ~ 7:45 Arrival into Santa Barbara from the south
- Provide 5:00 ~ 5:15 southbound departure from Santa Barbara
- Hold Metrolink schedule and ridership harmless
- Minimize unfavorable impacts to existing Pacific Surfliner
service

Necessary Actions for Retiming
- Complete schedule analysis
- Amtrak review of draft schedule: operational feasibility, cost, and
revenue
- LOSSAN Board review and approval
- Union Pacific Railroad operational plan review and approval
- Public outreach and messaging
