WEST SANTA ANA BRANCH TRANSIT CORRIDOR TOD STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor Transit-Oriented District Strategic Implementation Plan will provide holistic land use and economic development strategy for the 14 communities along an industrial/manufacturing corridor with low levels of development, disadvantaged populations, and some of California’s most impacted environmental justice census tracts.  The 20-mile corridor, extending from Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles to the City of Artesia, is in need of a unified TOD strategy to leverage the investment of a future transit corridor. 

Most of the communities in the project area are identified as disadvantaged communities and home to 1.2 million residents. The Plan responds to the unique needs of these communities to pursue TOD strategies that can spur investment and improve infrastructure while limiting displacement. The effort is part of an FTA TOD Pilot Program that provides an implementation strategy for TOC plans for each of the 15 station areas along the corridor.
