9. NEXT GENERATION RAIL CORRIDORS ANALYSIS REPORT
Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager, introduced JD Douglas from HDR to present the findings
of the Next Generation Rail Corridors Analysis report.
JD Douglas clarified for Commissioner Hewitt the difference between diesel and electric
lines. He also explained that the Corona to Murrieta line is part of the long-term plan
because the right of way would be more expensive than the Perris to San Jacinto line. He
added the ridership would be lower on the Perris to San Jacinto line.
Anne Mayer commented on the surveys regarding rail ridership in these areas.
Commissioner Scott Vinton asked if the right of way costs were included and if the right
of way size needed for diesel or light rail was the same.
JD Douglas confirmed that the right of way costs would be about the same. Both rail types
would need a right of way roughly the same size.
Chair Berkson commented on the steps Metrolink is taking for when the Olympics come
to Los Angeles and stated that maybe if the Commission coordinates new train service
with destinations that it could apply for government funding to help fund the startup of
these new lines/services if they show they are desirable to tourists during the Olympics.
JD Douglas replied to Commissioner Wes Speake's question regarding the Lake
Elsinore/Santa Fe line that it will be used as part of the Corona to Murrieta line, noting
about 50-60% of the tracks are still viable.
Commissioner Andrew Kotyuk asked if the kinds of trains studied were the new models
or if they could run on the streets like they do in San Francisco or if they would need their
own tracks and right of way. He asked if there is a time frame for the High Speed Rail
model in Riverside County.
JD Douglas replied that typically the diesel multiple units (DMU) run on their own right of
way. The DMU often uses the same rail lines as the freight trains, and Light Rail has been

done both ways. There is no definitive time frame for the High Speed Rail model in
Riverside County.
Anne Mayer commented on the High Speed rail project and enhancing existing rail
programs.
Commissioner Lorimore commented on the right of way costs and availability.
Ms. Mayer replied to Commissioner Lorimore by stating that the Commission does not
acquire right of way without a project being identified.
Commissioner Kevin Jeffries expressed his concerns regarding the Corona to Lake Elsinore
route because of newly invested funds into the National Parks Butterfield Trail in Lake
Elsinore.
Commissioner Hewitt commented that a San Bernardino to Las Vegas High Speed Rail
train might help increase ridership in Riverside county.
Ms. Mayer added there are issues along the 215 right of way that are like those of the 15
through Lake Elsinore. The advances in technology might allow us to provide rail service
in the future with a narrower right of way.
The Committee accepted the Next Generation Rail Corridors Analysis Report and
forwarded to the Commission for final action.
10. COMMISSIONERS / STAFF REPORT
Commissioner Benoit thanked the Commission for their support for the Bundy Canyon
Road Widening project.
11. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business for consideration by the Western Riverside County
Programs and Projects Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 2:10 p.m.
