Which transit modes are compatible with the existing local and regional transit system?
Light Rail Transit (LRT) vehicles, which currently operate on the Metro Green, Blue and Gold Lines, could utilize the infrastructure of other existing and planned Metro light rail lines, potentially providing through or continuing service. It is possible that LRT-Compliant Self-Propelled Railcars (SPR) could be procured so that they can also operate on existing and planned light rail tracks. In addition, commuter rail vehicles, which currently operate along Metrolink’s transit network, would be able to provide through service to Metrolink’s service routes originating at Union Station. It is also possible that Freight-Compatible Self-Propelled Railcars and Electric Multiple Unit trains may be procured so they can also operate on Metrolink’s infrastructure.
