ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA — Today, Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley, who serves on the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and LOSSAN Board of Directors, released a statement on the news that Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner will resume full passenger service through San Clemente on Monday, March 25, 2024. OCTA and Metrolink emergency crews are set to finish emergency work this week.
“With emergency crews working efficiently to finish emergency stabilization work, full passenger service through San Clemente will resume ahead of schedule beginning on Monday, March 25,” said Supervisor Foley. “This accomplishment is only possible thanks to the quick response and coordination between OCTA, the LOSSAN Corridor Agency, and the California Transportation Agency.
