Article 5.2. Lossan Corridor of California Government Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 5.2.
(a) The LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency, also known as the
LOSSAN Agency, is an existing joint powers authority established to
provide an organization capable of implementing the recommendations
contained in the State Rail Corridor Study Group's June 1987 report
entitled "Los Angeles-San Diego State Rail Corridor Study" and
undertaking related efforts to improve intercity services and
facilities in the corridor and to coordinate subcorridor commuter
rail services with intercity services. The LOSSAN Agency is composed
of voting members, as specified in the joint powers agreement.
(b) "LOSSAN Corridor" or "LOSSAN Rail Corridor" means the San
Diego-Los Angeles-San Luis Obispo intercity passenger rail corridor.
This article shall be applicable only if the members of
the LOSSAN Agency enter into an amended joint powers agreement to
expand the authority of the agency to permit the administration of
state-funded intercity passenger rail services on the LOSSAN
Corridor, and the LOSSAN Agency thereafter elects to become a party
to an interagency transfer agreement pursuant to Article 5
(commencing with Section 14070). The amended joint powers agreement
shall establish the terms and conditions for the joint powers agency
and is subject to the approval of the governing board of each member
agency of the LOSSAN Agency. Only the LOSSAN Agency operating under
the amended joint powers agreement, and not the LOSSAN Agency
existing on January 1, 2013, may exercise jurisdiction over intercity
rail services on the LOSSAN Corridor under an interagency transfer
agreement.
