INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to support the development of a Capital
Improvement/Maintenance Program (CIP) by the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) at the twelve stations serviced in Orange County by Southern
California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) Commuter Rail. Relying upon field visits and
coordination with city staff, the document highlights deficiencies and enhancement
recommendations based upon existing conditions and future station area development
plans. Parties responsible for station elements have been identified herein using legal
agreements between cooperative parties including OCTA, SCRRA, Amtrak, and the local
cities and redevelopment agencies.
Improvement items that may be most efficiently addressed on a station3by3station scale
are detailed below in Section A, Individual Stations. Section B, System3Wide Elements
follows, which addresses needs of stations on a system3wide basis. Appendix A
provides visual examples of elements discussed in both sections. Appendix B contains
an inventory matrix that comprehensively details the condition and responsible parties
for all station elements, including those not in immediate need of attention. A minority
of the elements evaluated herein fall outside the purview of this study, but are included
as items of particular interest to a city or OCTA.
II.
BACKGROUND
In order to evaluate and rank improvement needs, existing operation and maintenance
standards and agreements were first studied to determine where enhancements would
be most beneficial. Information was gathered about the following set of station
elements:
◦ Pedestrian access improvements
◦ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
California Building Code (CBC)
improvements
◦ Station area landscaping
◦ Station buildings and lobbies
◦ Elevators
◦ Tactile warning strips
◦ Pedestrian, parking, bicycle, railroad,
and pathway signage
◦ Fencing
◦ Parking improvements, striping, paving
repair
◦ Public address (PA) systems and
electronic signage
◦ Shelters
◦ Painting
◦ Weatherizing of exterior surfaces
◦ Platforms
◦ Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems
◦ Pedestrian overpasses and underpasses
◦ Trash receptacles
◦ Ticket vending machines (TVM) and
ticket validators
◦ Canopies over TVMs
◦ Improvements for parking structures
◦ Bicycle lockers, racks, and storage
◦ Utilities
◦ Restroom facilities

Final Draft
◦ Station lighting
◦ Tenant space and vending machines
◦ Information kiosks and display cases
◦ Closed3circuit television (CCTV) systems
and video surveillance systems (VSS)
Representative cost figures for regular site maintenance at each station have been
gathered.
The cost data contributed to the development of ranking potential
improvement needs.
It is noted that the implementation of station enhancements frequently triggers
upgrade requirements to related accessibility elements. Insofar as possible, these
incidental expenses have been taken into account in the ranking of improvement needs,
but further study and budgeting considerations are recommended.

III. RANKING AND PRIORITIES DISCUSSION
A. INDIVIDUAL STATIONS
Many improvement needs are best addressed on a station3by3station basis. The
architectural and aesthetic themes of many station elements are determined by local
cities, not by system3wide standards, and commonly fall into the category of small3scale
enhancements. The following sections describe each of the twelve stations studied,
detailing both the station3specific needs that are identifiable upon field observation and
those enumerated by city staff members.
A.1. ANAHEIM CANYON
The station at Anaheim Canyon is anticipated to undergo large3scale improvements in
2014 that will add a second track, a second platform, and a pedestrian underpass. In
the interim, the City is not seeking major improvements. The enhancements discussed
below have been prioritized as those which would benefit from more immediate
attention than the upcoming construction will provide.
Improvements that have been identified as top priorities are two safety hazards
stemming from frayed steel cables and unstable seating. Ranking below these are the
removal of a stone path and the repair of existing Changeable Message Sign (CMS)
equipment. Lower priorities include equipment painting and increased commuter
parking.
HIGH PRIORITY
At the platform shelters, steel cables serve to anchor the cantilevered shelter roofs. The
majority of these cables have been installed properly or repaired to limit the fraying of
sharp steel strands. One cable at the northernmost canopy and another at the
southernmost are both fraying significantly and in need of repair to eliminate risk of
injury to passengers. Since these elements represent significant risks to customers, the
repairs require more immediate attention than other improvements at Anaheim Canyon.
The backless seating installed under the platform canopies has proven both ineffective
and insufficient in quantity. The seats are difficult to maintain, uncomfortable, and
prone to unstable rocking. The City, which is responsible for seating and canopies, has
added higher quality benches to the platform to supplement the seating, but demand
for seating continues to surpass supply. Recommended improvements include:
repairing the instability of the backless seating or replacing all backless style seating,
and installing additional seating elsewhere on the platform.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The Changeable Message Signs at the platform require replacement of missing parts in
order to function properly. The equipment is planned to be addressed as part of the
SCRRA Customer Information System (CIS) in 2012.
3
Final Draft
A stepping stone path at the north end of the platform has been installed, likely by
property owners to preserve the landscaping from ongoing pedestrian traffic that has
worn paths in the slope. The path does not comply with accessibility codes and may
present a tripping hazard; it needs to be removed or replaced with an accessible
solution or barrier. At the south end of the station, pedestrian traffic has worn a
significant path in the slope and similarly requires an accessible solution or barrier to
prohibit access. The City is responsible for pedestrian access improvements and
landscaping areas.
LOW PRIORITY
The City wishes to address other items for which it is responsible, including routine
painting of trash cans and overnight security issues in the parking lot.
The City currently utilizes only 70 parking spaces for commuter rail passengers, far
below the demand. Because the adjacent office buildings are primarily vacant, the City
has entered into an agreement to use 30 additional spaces, but this temporary
allowance may be revoked with 30 days’ notice. The City wishes to provide more
parking to SCRRA riders than its $19,000 annual parking budget is able to fund and
maintain.
Appendix A, Section 1 contains visual documentation of the station elements at
Anaheim Canyon.

Final Draft
A.2. ANAHEIM STADIUM
The station at Anaheim Stadium is anticipated to undergo large3scale improvements
with the construction of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center
(ARTIC). In the interim, top3ranking priorities include the repair of a hand rail. Of
secondary and low importance are the repair of vandalized SCRRA signage and repair of
trash receptacle, respectively. Of note is the proposed upgrade of existing station
lighting.
HIGH PRIORITY
At the Track 1 side of the pedestrian tunnel, the hand rail has been bent askew along
its length, may pose a liability, and requires repair. The City is responsible for both
pedestrian access and accessibility improvements, but may not be able to address the
issue promptly. Current annual budget for the City’s repair and maintenance of the
station is approximately $10,000.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The two track and platform signs for train departures located on the Track 2 side of the
station are in good condition overall, but each has sustained minor damage and is now
missing a circular sticker identifying Track 2 as the appropriate departure location. The
stickers on the departure sign located on the Track 1 side of the station have been
damaged to a lesser degree. Although the City is responsible for general signage at the
station, these two signs fall under a program managed by OCTA.
LOW PRIORITY
A platform trash receptacle is missing its original collection bin and is in need of
replacement equipment. A small bucket is being used as a temporary basket until the
repair can be made.
NOTABLE
The City wishes to upgrade the station lighting with more efficient equipment. The City
estimates that $60,000 per year would be needed for two years to upgrade the station
lighting, which currently costs the City over $9,000 annually in maintenance.
Anaheim Station.

Final Draft
A.3. BUENA PARK
California High Speed Rail (CHSR) alignments are in development and may or may not
propose significant impacts to the entire station in Buena Park. Approval of the
Environmental Impact Report for CHSR is expected in 2013.
Repairs to the pedestrian bridge elevators and stairs are of highest importance at the
Buena Park station. Priorities ranking below these include the replacement of three
damaged signs and assistance with station painting and lighting. Lower priorities
include adjusting commuter parking at local streets and upgrading station banners. Of
note is a study at the station entrance.
HIGH PRIORITY
Both elevators at the pedestrian bridge are in need of weatherizing repairs due to
rainwater leaks that cause frequent outages. In the three years since opening the
station, the City has spent approximately $21,000 on elevator maintenance with
additional funds spent on elevator floor replacement. The City is similarly responsible
for stairs on the pedestrian bridge, which require repair. The concrete that forms the
surface of the stair nosings is significantly chipping, although the nosing grips are in
good condition.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
In a landscaped area less than two feet from the Track 1 platform, a track and platform
sign has been knocked down and is in need of repair. At the Buena Park Station,
SCRRA is responsible for platform signage.
Although the boarding information sheets have recently been upgraded throughout the
study area to reflect SCRRA’s current logo, the sheets at each of Buena Park’s platforms
are already missing, with only scraps of the new logo remaining. One of these signs is
on the Track 3 platform and the other posted adjacent to the Track 1 platform. The
upkeep of the equipment may be the responsibility of the City (if it is determined that
these are categorized as general station signage) or SCRRA (if categorized as platform
regulatory/informational signage).
The City seeks assistance with maintaining the painting schedule and lighting for the
station.
LOW PRIORITY
The City wishes to shift the red paint on the Malvern Avenue curb to resolve the issue
of SCRRA riders parking vehicles at locations that encroach on existing turn pockets.
The City’s identification banners posted around the station and platform are significantly
faded and in need of upgrade or removal. The City may seek to improve the existing
equipment, or may prefer a different, more permanent signage solution.

Final Draft
NOTABLE
In order to address reports from nearby residents of near misses with vehicles entering
the station from Dale Street, the City utilized cameras as part of a study to observe on3
site traffic flow. The results of the study may identify additional improvement needs
such as additional traffic control devices.
Appendix A, Section 3 contains visual documentation of the station elements at Buena
Park.

Final Draft
A.4. FULLERTON
Upgrades to the pedestrian bridge elevators are top priorities at the Fullerton Station
and are currently being addressed. Enhancements to the adjacent overpass stairs are
also of high priority.
Medium3ranking priorities include painting and lighting
maintenance and long3term tile maintenance solutions. Platform shelter upgrades, a
pedestrian underpass, bird deterrent equipment, and station signage rank as lower
priorities at Fullerton. Of note are mirrors in poor condition in Amtrak’s restroom and
safety concerns to be resolved between the City and BNSF Railway Company (BNSF).
HIGH PRIORITY
OCTA and the City of Fullerton are working to improve reliability to the existing
overpass bridge by adding a second elevator to each platform. The stair treads at the
overpass are separating from the risers and in need of repair or replacement to reduce
tripping hazards. Previous repair and resealing efforts have proven to be ineffective,
necessitating a larger scale enhancement. Plastic and glass elements of the overpass
structure are prone to graffiti and in need of upgrade. Overpass upgrades and repairs
are particularly of concern because alternate routes between platforms are unavailable.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Since the City estimates it spends $70,000 per year maintaining grout and tiled surfaces
for the station, a study is recommended to assess the potential for replacement of the
platform walking surfaces and low wall faces with a material that is more affordably
weatherized and maintained such as stamped concrete.
The City seeks to maintain the station painting and lighting schedules. Existing paint on
the bridge is extensively chipped and in need of repainting.
LOW PRIORITY
The City wishes for enhancements including: increased shelter provisions on the
platforms, preferably four3posted shelters; a pedestrian underpass between platforms;
and bird deterrent systems.
NOTABLE
The southern approach to the station on Walnut Street lacks wayfinding and monument
signage. The City may not wish to increase the visibility of this approach since the
parking and traffic capacity is low and the route is adjacent to residential development.
The mirrors in Amtrak’s public restrooms are in need of an upgrade.
Ongoing safety issues exist relating to insufficient security fencing at the south end of
the station, an item to be taken up between the City and BNSF.
Fullerton.

Final Draft
A.5. IRVINE
The greatest need at the Irvine Station is an upgrade to the pedestrian bridge
elevators. Additional elevator banks, an upgrade to the power system, bike locker
relocation, and facilitation of overpass bridge work present moderately needed
improvements. Lesser priorities include upgrades to the PA system; station paint color;
parking garage infrastructure improvements and parking use alternations; rider drop3off
area; pedestrian plaza; and security and customer information desks. Noted items
include wayfinding signage to the station and the City’s interest in solar panels.
HIGH PRIORITY
The City’s existing elevators at the pedestrian bridge are weathered, slow, and in need
of replacement. Among other problems, rain fills the bottom of the wells and shorts out
the elevators’ power. A retrofit casing has been ineffective. Replacement of both
elevators is the most significant item at this station, while installing a second bank of
elevators is of moderate importance.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Existing power provided to the station is substandard and the City seeks to perform the
necessary upgrades. Problems with the power system include flickering station lights
and inconsistent power to the elevators and station building. Providing these upgrades
may be further necessitated by upgraded elevators.
Half of the existing cameras on the pedestrian bridge do not function and require
repair. The location of the cameras above the track right3of3way requires the
coordination of track and time, permits, flagmen, scheduling with SCRRA, and an
estimated $1,500 to fund.
If the City is unable to obtain loudspeakers for the PA system at Track 1 as part of
SCRRA’s PTC upgrade project, it will seek other means of performing this enhancement.
The City desires to relocate existing bike lockers in order to provide additional vehicular
parking. With 30 cyclists on a waiting list for the 56 current lockers, the City is also
looking to increase the number of lockers.
LOW PRIORITY
Parking improvements that the City seeks include: an increased number of parking
spaces reserved for tenants of the station and parking structure buildings; an upgrade
of the parking count system with new fluorescent lighting and motion sensors;
increased parking restricted for 903minute use of the station facilities and businesses;
closing of the small lot adjacent to the bus bays due to accessibility and pedestrian/bus
conflict concerns; and upgrades of lighting fixtures. Currently, annual parking structure
operations and maintenance are estimated to cost the City $1,000,000.
9
Final Draft
At the passenger drop3off area, the City wishes to expand the capacity of the zone,
likely requiring encroachment permits into the railroad right3of3way. Additionally, the
City prefers signs marking the drop off area and signs providing wayfinding toward the
area. Between the parking structure and the entrances to the platform and station
building, the City wishes to replace grass with concrete to improve pedestrian access.
These parking and pedestrian access improvements fall into categories that are the
City’s responsibilities.
The City wishes to expand its use of a new olive gray color of the structure at the
station and paint over the older blue items including furniture, shelters, bathroom
doors, the pedestrian bridge, and the finish on the main station building.
Improvements inside the City’s station building remain low in the priority ranking. The
City wishes to replace its security desk, which is too small to effectively monitor the 19
existing security cameras. Amtrak’s ticketing counter is not compliant with accessibility
codes and should be brought to code. The City also wishes for a staff person, paid by
an entity other than the City, to attend the abandoned rental car desk and provide
customer service engagement including rideshare information, shuttle routes, and
advertising.
NOTABLE
The City wishes to install solar panels.
Although wayfinding signage to the station has been upgraded recently to utilize
OCTA’s new large green signs, the northbound approach on Barranca Parkway lacks
such a sign to direct motorists into the station complex. The parking structure is large,
but the station entrance signs are mounted to the structure’s face at an angle that is
easily missed from the northbound approach.
Appendix A, Section 5 contains visual documentation of the station elements at Irvine.

Final Draft
A.6. LAGUNA NIGUEL/MISSION VIEJO
At the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station, operations and maintenance duties are
shared between the City of Laguna Niguel and the City of Mission Viejo. The top
improvement priority at this station is an upgrade to the elevators. Measures to reduce
the need for ongoing graffiti removal, additional TVMs, and platform shelters present
improvement opportunities of secondary urgency. Enhancements of low importance
are the replacement of TVM shelters, station painting, repair of a station name sign,
and adjustment of obscured monument signage. Items of note include upgrades to the
CMS and intertrack fencing.
HIGH PRIORITY
The Cities seek to have the existing elevators at the pedestrian tunnel upgraded. The
existing elevators operate out of date accordion doors and are frequently out of service.
Improvements under consideration include elevator upgrade, replacement, and
installation of a second bank of elevators. Since the operation and maintenance of new
elevator equipment would fall on the Cities, any solution would be coordinated with
their budgets in mind. The Cities’ annual operations and maintenance costs for existing
elevators sum to approximately $14,000.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Due to ongoing difficulty the Cities have encountered with graffiti at the station, they
seek graffiti deterrents such as anti3graffiti coatings and non3sacrificial coatings to
reduce the need for frequent maintenance.
The Cities seek to provide shade to riders at Track 2 because the platform at this
location lacks shelters. Unlike the smaller existing canopies at Tracks 1 and 1A, the
Cities prefer future shelters to be four3posted.
LOW PRIORITY
The station currently lacks TVMs on the east side of the station adjacent to the
platforms at Track 1 and Track 1A. OCTA and SCRRA are jointly responsible for TVM
equipment at the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station.
The Cities wish to replace the ticket area shelter covers to match the newer platform
canopies. Existing cover equipment has experienced damage at the roof line and
problems with conduit routing.
The Cities, which are responsible for routine painting at the station, wish to repaint the
red curbs as well as the fencing at the station.
Two signs at the station are in need of enhancement. One of the station name signs on
the platform has been bent back at the corner and is in need of repair. Both monument
signs are partially obscured by landscaping and the Cities may be interested in moving
one or both.
11
Final Draft
NOTABLE
The changeable messages signs are in need of upgrade and are to be addressed as part
of SCRRA’s CIS project.
SCRRA is responsible for the intertrack fencing, which requires additional length on both
the south and north ends of the station.
Appendix A, Section 6 contains visual documentation of the station elements at Laguna
Niguel/Mission Viejo.
12
Final Draft
A.7. ORANGE
The highest priority at the Orange Station is the installation of shelter at the bus
turnaround. Medium ranked improvement opportunities are monument sign lighting,
tactile strip repair, platform seating and bicycle locker expansion, and railing and bulb
replacement. Lower priorities include restroom and station maintenance, station
painting, anti3graffiti measures, lighting upgrades, additional signage and storage,
expansion to platform, and pamphlet holders. SCRRA’s replacement of a temporary
mini3high platform and a third party noise study are of note.
HIGH PRIORITY
The bus turnaround area lacks adequate shelter for customers; equipment would be the
responsibility of the City. The City also wishes to repaint existing benches and install
bench arms to reduce loitering. An estimated $9,000 would be needed to upgrade the
seating and shelters at the bus turnaround.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The City seeks to address detectable directional tiles at the boarding areas which pose a
tripping hazard. The tiles have been installed in a manner that is not sufficiently
recessed into the concrete surface of the platform, resulting in overly raised tiles.
Another platform edge issue of secondary importance is the painted yellow stripe near
the Track 1 platform edge that is significantly chipping and in need of replacement.
The station’s monument sign is currently unlit and difficult to see after dark next to the
backlit sign for Ruby's Diner; replacement with a new backlit sign bearing the current
SCRRA logo would improve this element. The improvement is desired by the City and
falls under the jurisdiction of the City.
In the station building restrooms, the City is interested in the installation of a ventilation
system.
The City wishes to expand the capacity of the bike lockers. A new locker design, one
that allows for City3owned locks only and not customer locks, is preferred.
The City wishes to install benches at each platform shelter that is currently lacking
seats.
Some of the fluorescent tubes in the platform shelters were observed to be
extinguished and in need of replacement. The City is responsible for station lighting
and may need to be alerted of the repair need.
LOW PRIORITY
The public restrooms require considerable maintenance. While the City currently
provides for custodial service twice a day and ad hoc painting to address graffiti and
grout stains, several other maintenance items are beyond the City's budget, including
regular painting, improvements to the gutters, repair of dented canopy roof, and wire
13
Final Draft
cages around air fresheners to reduce theft. These improvements are not covered by
the City’s $90,000 annual maintenance contract.
The City wishes to address other station items such as light bollards with light fixtures,
anti3graffiti measures in the tunnel, and routine maintenance and roof painting at
platform shelters. Replacement of existing lighting with higher efficiency fixtures may
offer a preferred way of lowering lighting maintenance and operations costs.
The City is interested in pamphlet holders at the TVMs.
agreements, SCRRA is responsible for the TVM equipment.
Per existing contract
At the southern end of the Track 1 platform, a small seating area is provided adjacent
to the platform. The City wishes to replace the rusted railing with stainless steel to
match the rest of the station. Other enhancements that the City wishes to implement
include posting signage to restrict smoking, acquiring storage space for the
Transportation Security Authority, and expanding the platform.
NOTABLE
Although the equipment is in good condition, SCRRA may replace the existing
temporary mini3high ramp at the Track 2 platform with a cast3in3place permanent
structure.
Chapman University undertook a noise study to document impacts to their property
north of the station; the findings suggest extending the platform. The potential cost
and constructability of expanding the platform have not been studied.
Appendix A, Section 7 contains visual documentation of the station elements at Laguna
Niguel/Mission Viejo.

Final Draft
A.8. SAN CLEMENTE NORTH BEACH
The improvement item that ranks highest at the San Clemente North Beach Station is a
plan for improved accessible ramp connection to the platform. Medium priorities
include increased seating, bus route schedules and holders for the schedules, and
bicycle storage. Repairs to existing platform amenities are of similarly moderate
importance. Lower priorities include upgrades to parking facilities, studying the
monument sign and the parking lot, and the addition of a bicycle facility. The City’s
planned signage program and interest in a rider guide are of note.
HIGH PRIORITY
Since the platform currently only has one point of access that complies with accessibility
codes, the construction of adequate access is recommended. Between the platform
and the crossing gate, the City seeks to shift approximately 100 feet of existing City
fence and construct a sidewalk parallel to the tracks. Currently, disembarking
passengers are routed away from the tracks and through the parking lot to safely arrive
at the crossing, a route which many continue to disregard; instead, many walk a direct
route over the tracks. The proposed accessible connection would route customers
directly to the grade crossing, replacing an area of loose rock and utility access covers
that currently exist between the track and ramp fence.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The platform lacks sufficient seating and the City seeks to install additional benches,
particularly under existing canopies.
Since the station lacks bike storage, the City seeks to install hoop3style bike racks.
Other repairs include the City’s wish to upgrade station benches, tiling, and paint.
LOW PRIORITY
The current orientation of the City3owned pay station at the parking lot creates a line3
of3sight issue for motorists, so the City wishes to have the equipment moved. The
slope of the ground in certain areas of the parking lot is not compliant with accessibility
codes and the dead3end layout at the south end of the lot contributes to turnaround
issues for motorists. Due to the constraints of the site and other existing conditions of
the parking lot, a study to determine reconfiguration solutions is recommended.
The monument sign serves both the station and Ole Hanson Beach Club, but the City
may not be interested in supplementing or replacing the existing sign with another
dedicated solely to the station. A study of a potential SCRRA3standard monument sign
may be more effectively addressed on a system3wide level.
Adjacent to the station, a non3profit bicycle facility, Bicycles San Clemente, is operated
by the Orange County Bicycle Coalition (OCBC). The facility is owned by both OCTA and
the City, and is rented to OCBC for a nominal fee. Services offered include classes,
15
Final Draft
rental, repair, and equipment and refreshment sales. Locker units were built at this
facility in a way that has not allowed for usage. The City wishes to install a bicycle
facility equipped with showers and weatherproof lockers. The high capital cost
associated with funding such a facility causes it to be ranked lower, but bicycle lockers
are of moderate importance.
NOTABLE
Rider confusion concerning the TVMs at the station is common. The City is interested
working with OCTA to produce a How to Ride Guide to ease passenger use of the
equipment and alleviate confusion. The City is also interested in bus schedules and
schedule holders for routes serving the station.
The City is implementing a signage program citywide that may alter or reduce the
signage needs at this station.
Appendix A, Section 8 contains visual documentation of the station elements at San
Clemente North Beach.
16
Final Draft
A.9. SAN CLEMENTE PIER
The two top priorities at San Clemente Pier include the reconstruction of the existing
platform and the formation of contract agreements for responsibilities for the platform
elements. Secondary priorities are seating, platform signage, and parking. The existing
signage at the station and the City’s planned signage program are of note.
HIGH PRIORITY
The operation and maintenance of the platform is not currently governed by an
agreement contract. In order to determine responsible parties to be held accountable
for the future of the station, cooperative agreements are required. The need for a
contract impacts the entire station and is therefore of highest importance.
Amtrak/Caltrans Division of Rail has plans to replace the severely chipped and
deteriorating platform, but does not specify an expected date of construction. The poor
condition of the platform poses safety risks. The formation of contract agreements
could expedite the repair and replacement of the platform by whichever party is
determined to be responsible for future operations and maintenance.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Two accessible parking stalls are provided at the station entrance. The rest of the
station parking, which also falls under the jurisdiction of the City, is currently not
compliant with accessibility codes and must be addressed. A study of the parking lot is
recommended to aid in identifying solutions.
Since the timeline for Amtrak improvements is undetermined, minimal temporary
seating or shelter at the platform may enhance customer experience.
One small, significantly worn sign provides departure information for Amtrak service,
but the station lacks SCRRA service and schedule information. If commuter rail service
or schedule information were to be provided at San Clemente Pier, the signage would
need to be uniquely tailored to the non3standard service provided at this location.
NOTABLE
The only signage that exists to mark the name of the station is an older, weathered
sign beyond the end of the platform in the railroad right3of3way. The sign displays the
words “San Clemente,” but fails to further specify the station as San Clemente Pier as
opposed to San Clemente North Beach. No monument signs or station name signs exist
on the platform.
The City is implementing a signage program citywide that may alter or reduce the
signage needs at this station.
Clemente Pier.
17
Final Draft
A.10. SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
An accessibility study is the primary priority at the San Juan Capistrano Station.
Medium priorities such as station signage, garage lighting and paint, landscaping
maintenance, bike lockers, and the existing drinking fountain are to be addressed.
Lower priorities include extensive garage upgrades and station painting. Items of note
include Amtrak signage and accessible ramp, the picnic area, platform security cameras,
and a planned pedestrian grade crossing fence.
HIGH PRIORITY
Given the historic nature of the station, a study is needed to assess the overall
accessibility to prioritize required improvements including landscape trimming at
accessible routes. Accessibility items to be addressed include narrow station sidewalks,
which must provide three feet minimum width with passing areas of at least five feet at
every 200 feet of length.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Landscaping maintenance falls under the responsibility of the City and requires
attention, particularly where it borders the railroad right3of3way.
A study is
recommended to address overgrown and encroaching trees such as the peppertree on
the east end of the site and several tall palm trees which have proven difficult to
maintain close to the tracks.
The City is interested in repairing and replacing station signage, some of which may be
more effectively accomplished as part of system3wide improvements. Considering
sensitivity to the historic district, signage and the clearance constraints at the platform
will require a study prior to installation of new signage, particularly CMS equipment.
The City’s existing water fountain near the restrooms does not provide sufficient
clearance to comply with accessibility codes. Since space for expansion is not available,
removal of the equipment is likely required.
The City wishes to expand the capacity of the station bike racks and begin a bike locker
program.
LOW PRIORITY
At the San Juan Capistrano Station, the City seeks both additional lighting and a lighter
shade of paint for all ceilings in the parking structure to address issues of insufficient
illumination. A study is recommended to determine how best to implement these
enhancements. If funds were available for a more extensive parking structure upgrade,
the City could install vehicular detection lights, similar to those at the Irvine and Tustin
stations.
18
Final Draft
Painting needs at the station include light poles and railings at accessible ramps in both
the Amtrak ticketing area and on the platform. The City paints the equipment every
two to three years and seeks to increase the frequency of the maintenance.
NOTABLE
Amtrak is currently addressing its signs at the station which are in need of replacement.
The wooden accessible ramp at the Amtrak’s ticketing area requires refinishing and
paint for the railing.
The City may consider securing funds to improve its picnic area and other aesthetics at
the station including upgrades of benches and tables under canopies, replacement of
irrigation piping to facilitate reestablishment of wisteria, restoration of concrete bollards,
repair of a broken clock, and faded awnings. If seating is upgraded, the City prefers
benches to tables.
Due to privacy concerns, the City is not interested in expanding video surveillance
beyond the two existing cameras in the Amtrak office.
OCTA is currently improving the pedestrian grade crossing by adding a fence. Since
fencing at the station is the responsibility of the City, painting and maintenance of the
green/brown fence will likely fall under that responsibility.
Juan Capistrano.

Final Draft
A.11. SANTA ANA
Improvement needs that rank moderately high at the Santa Ana Station include an
upgrade to the accessible surface lot, a lower cost solution for the existing tile surfaces,
near3term tile maintenance, platform shelter, and upgrades to station signage. Painting
and upgrades to the intertrack fencing and platform equipment, as well as station
building improvements rank low among improvements. Two items of note are the
OCTA bus bays and the waste collection program.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The City’s accessible surface parking lot/loading area does not currently comply with
accessibility codes and requires proper curb cuts and parking clearance. Other items to
address at the surface parking lot include: the need for a sufficient number of curb cuts
and tactile strips, expansion of existing curb cuts to accommodate strollers and
luggage, and the need for general pothole repair, tree trimming, and restriping,
particularly red curbs and pedestrian crossing areas. If funds were available, the City
would pursue resurfacing and restriping the entire lot.
The City maintains and weatherizes the tile walking surfaces at the platform and at the
interior and exterior of the station depot. Annual maintenance costs for these surfaces
have proven to be financially burdensome. The City is open to engaging in a large
capital maintenance project to replace the tile on the platform, inside the station
building, and at the pedestrian plaza and fountain with materials such as stamped
concrete. Such upgrades are estimated to cost $25,000 for the indoor tiling and
$20,000 for the outside tiling. At the time of tile replacement, expansion joints would
be added because the existing platform structures lack expansion joints.
In the short term, the tiled surface at the Track 2 platform has been upgraded, but the
City wishes for assistance in maintaining this platform improvement.
The shade provided for riders, particularly at the Track 1 platform, is insufficient and
the City is interested in providing more shaded area. The City prefers that larger, four3
posted shelters replace the existing structures.
The City is responsible for signage at the station and is interested in $20,000 for
improvements.
LOW PRIORITY
The intertrack fencing, which is the responsibility of OCTA and SCRRA, is in fair
condition but would benefit from repainting.
Other tasks the City wishes to complete are: painting of existing bike racks to match the
color scheme of the station building; upgrade of faulty and broken sprinkler heads;
installation of additional drinking fountains and benches; and more frequent repainting
of light poles and hand rails. Inside the shared use station building, the City is
20
Final Draft
responsible for and wishes to upgrade items such as the HVAC system, accessible
counters, and PA amplifier system.
NOTABLE
OCTA Bus Operations is responsible for addressing the need for bus bay restriping. A
fee of approximately $1,700 is paid annually by OCTA for the use of four bus bays.
With the planned expansion of the recycling program, a contracted waste management
company will organize and may relocate the receptacles.
Appendix A, Section 11 contains visual documentation of the station elements at Santa
Ana.
21
Final Draft
A.12. TUSTIN
Medium3ranking priorities at the Tustin Station are the pump equipment in the tunnel
and bike lockers. Studies investigating newspaper vending equipment and security
needs in the pedestrian tunnel rank low. A public restrooms and a parking structure
study are of note.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
At the Tustin Station, the storm water sump pumps are routinely upgraded at the
pedestrian tunnel. The City is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the
underpass and may seek assistance in expediting the upgrade.
The station provides some bike storage in the form of racks and lockers, and the City
seeks to expand the capacity of its bike lockers.
LOW PRIORITY
The pedestrian underpass is monitored by security cameras. A study is recommended to
determine a preferred approach to safety and security at this location.
Another recommended study is the assessment of options for future use of the existing
newspaper vending facilities. The equipment is utilized by a limited number of
newspapers and demand has been decreasing.
NOTABLE
Due to concerns over security and maintenance, the City is not interested in offering
restrooms to the public. Current annual trash and general maintenance costs at the
station are estimated to be $5,000, and additional restroom maintenance costs would
be a financial burden for the City.
At the parking structure, a study could be used to determine the feasibility of expanding
the use of the structure to serve park3and3ride users. Since the parking structure is still
significantly underutilized, the City is not pursuing gate arms or paid parking until
demand for capacity becomes a concern.
Appendix A, Section 12 contains visual documentation of the station elements at Tustin.
22
Final Draft
B. SYSTEM7WIDE ELEMENTS
Many station improvement needs within the study area could be most effectively
addressed on a system3wide level. Stations share similar and identical elements that
require operations, maintenance, and upgrade.
Implementing these common
improvements on a large scale presents unique opportunities for streamlining of
implementation which could not be achieved by an individual city. A summary of the
top priorities appears below, followed by Section B.1, Platform Signage through Section
B.3 Platform Elements, describing improvement needs in more detail.
HIGH PRIORITY
Station signage ranks high among priorities eligible for system3wide consideration,
particularly conformity of station signage at all twelve stations. Further detail is
discussed in sections B.1, Platform Signage and B.2, Station Signage.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Moderately ranking types of signage are installed at a small number of locations. These
signs vary widely in design, but would benefit from standardized designs and
implementation. Signage marking the location of bike lockers, prohibiting pedestrian
access, prohibiting customer actions such as smoking and littering, and wayfinding
toward accessible routes are eligible for effective installation system3wide.
Tactile warning strips and painted passenger guidance vary widely and, in many
locations, are in need of repair and upgrade. Instead of non3unified, irregular repairs,
system3wide overhaul could achieve cost savings and uniformity.
Five stations in the study area are equipped with platform elevators, which vary in
capacity, condition, and functionality. A study to determine a system3wide timeline for
upgrade, replacement, and installation of additional elevator banks is recommended.
Light fixture design is highly dependent on local designs and therefore not viable to
standardize across the county. A system3wide study could determine the feasibility of
large3scale retrofit project for energy efficient lighting fixtures.
Signage that provides wayfinding for motorists from local roads and nearby highways to
the stations has recently been updated at several, but not all stations.
Monument signs marking the entrances to SCRRA stations have been installed at many
of the stations in the system. As a system3wide improvement, these varied signs could
be studied to determine the preferred approach to move towards a standardized design
incorporating the new SCRRA logo. Study efforts could also investigate monument
lighting to determine where lighting and backlight improvements are most in demand.
23
Final Draft
LOW PRIORITY
Several elements can potentially be addressed on a system3wide level but are ranked
low in this section because either the enhancement is not in high demand or addressing
it on a large scale would offer minimal savings. Examples include addressing the varied
parking area and general prohibitory signage; providing bird deterrents, station paint,
seating; and a study of existing and needed drinking fountains.
B.1. PLATFORM SIGNAGE
Signage on and around platforms at stations in the study area exists to aid customers in
navigating the transit system. Throughout the study area, the responsibility for
improvements, maintenance, and operation for general station signage falls upon the
local city. Responsibility for platform regulatory and informational signage, however,
falls upon SCRRA at all stations except the San Clemente Pier Station. Improvements
to signage installed directly on the platforms for informational or regulatory use will
require coordination through OCTA.
B.1.a
TRACK NUMBER MARKERS
Track number signage is primarily mounted on platform light posts and aids customers
in finding the appropriate boarding platform by identifying the numbered track serviced
at each platform. Since use of these signs is already significantly standardized,
replacing older signs and providing supplemental signage where needed to achieve
uniformity is a high priority. Appendix A, Section 13.a contains visual documentation of
track number markers.
NO TRACK NUMBER MARKERS
Each of the stations at Anaheim Canyon, San Clemente North Beach, and San Clemente
Pier provides one platform, eliminating the need for signage to differentiate between
platforms. All other stations are installed with signage on platforms to identify track
numbers for riders. The quantity of the signage differs by station, although stations
such as Tustin have considerably fewer than average track number marker signs.
OLD TRACK NUMBER MARKERS, SQUARE
The stations at Anaheim Stadium and Buena Park have square track number markers
that were designed as part of an older generation of signage and supplement more
recent markers. These square signs are significantly faded and are eligible to be
replaced with newer signage.
RECENT TRACK NUMBER MARKERS, RECTANGULAR
The majority of the track number markers in the study area are rectangular, each with
solid stripes of SCRRA’s teal and blue along the top edge. As is evident in the photos in
Appendix A, these signs are of varying ages and have experienced a range of fade and
wear. Improvements may include replacement based on an evaluation of the condition
of signs at each station, or a system3wide upgrade of all of this style of signage to
match the design of the newest generation of track number markers.
24
Final Draft
NEW TRACK NUMBER MARKERS, RECTANGULAR
At recently constructed platform extensions at Fullerton and Laguna Niguel/Mission
Viejo, signs of a new design have been installed, differentiated by a white underline of
the word “Track.” These signs, which appear new and in no need of replacement,
deviate only marginally from the slightly older standard rectangular track number
signage at other locations.
LOCAL TRACK MARKERS
In Irvine, local track number signage is posted on platform shelters, supplementing
more recent rectangular signage. Since the City of Irvine is interested in general update
of track signage, these signs could likely be removed to achieve uniformity. The City of
San Juan Capistrano is interested in replacing its location signs that mark boarding
areas alphabetically along the length of its single platform. Since these signs are similar
in size and shape to the rectangular numbered markers found throughout the system, a
system3wide replacement of track number markers may be able to incorporate these
unique signs.
B.1.b
STATION NAME AND TERMINUS SIGNS
This signage is primarily mounted on platform light posts to signal the name of the
station to on3board and disembarking passengers. Terminus signage, where provided,
indicates the ultimate destination, and thereby the direction of train travel, to boarding
passengers. Since use of these signs is already significantly standardized, replacing
older signs and providing supplemental signage where needed to achieve uniformity is a
high priority. Appendix A, Section 13.b contains visual documentation of station name
and terminus signs.
STATION NAME ONLY: STANDARD DESIGN
The most common station name signage in the study area incorporates the station’s
name on a metal sign with the SCRRA blue and teal stripes across the top edge. Signs
installed more recently at locations such as Tustin are in better condition and have
sustained less weathering than older signs at locations such as Santa Ana.
STATION NAME ONLY: NON3STANDARD DEVIATIONS
Several signs that are installed incorporate SCRRA standard themes in non3standard
ways. The stations at both Anaheim Canyon and Orange incorporate signage with the
word “Station” after the location’s name. At San Clemente North Beach, the station
name sign is made of wood. These signs are generally in good repair, but may still be
considered for replacement in order to achieve uniformity. A sign at Anaheim Canyon is
both rusted into disrepair and is designed with non3standard stripe dimensions, but will
likely be replaced during the planned 2014 construction.
STATION NAME ONLY: LOCAL AND HISTORIC TYPES
A variety of station name signage exists throughout the study area that does not
adhere to any standardized design or pattern. Sign types vary in material between
wood and metal, and among an assortment of installation methods and locations; some
25
Final Draft
hang from or are attached to canopies, others are mounted independently on posts.
Since unique station name signs are often coordinated with local signage themes or
bear historical significance to local communities, alteration to such station name
signage would require coordination with cities.
STATION NAME WITH TERMINUS
Dual Direction
A few station name signs state both terminal directions on one sign. It is the most
practical solution at single3platform stations, but at stations with two or more platforms,
this approach may lead to confusion. Passengers may mistakenly interpret such a sign
to indicate that trains servicing both, opposite terminus destinations board at the same
platform where the sign is posted. Several stations appear to have abandoned this
approach, painting over the text of one terminus to leave only the direction appropriate
to the placement of the each sign. Improvement needs include repainting or
replacement of dual direction terminus signage at Santa Ana. The two signs at the
single platform at San Clemente North Beach are made of wood and may be of
historical significance.
Single Direction
Signs at Anaheim Stadium and Orange have been upgraded to clarify terminus
wayfinding. Instead of indicating both directions of travel on each sign, signs on each
platform currently display only the terminal destinations that match service at that
platform. Unfortunately, these adjusted signs are peeling significantly and in need of
repainting.
SEPARATE TERMINUS INFORMATION
At the Tustin station, no terminus information is displayed on the platform. Instead,
faded wayfinding signage exists nearby to direct passengers from the Track 2 station
entrance toward platforms servicing trains bound for the appropriate terminus.
Terminus information at Buena Park is displayed on the platforms via signage that
appears new and in good condition, but deviates significantly in design from the
standard SCRRA font and color themes. Supplemental terminus signage at both of
these locations may be considered as part of a system3wide station name signage
effort.
NO TERMINUS INFORMATION
Several stations in the study area lack terminus signage altogether. While the station at
Anaheim Canyon is likely to gain such signage as part of the upcoming construction, the
seven stations at Fullerton, Irvine, Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, San Clemente Pier, San
Juan Capistrano, Santa Ana, and Tustin have no known planned installation of terminus
signage on one or more platforms.
OTHER IDENTIFIERS
Although not mandated by the ADA, California Building Code (CBC) Sections 1143A.2
and 1143A.9 do mandate the use of Braille to identify permanent spaces of a site. Five
26
Final Draft
stations in the study area are marked with Braille signs identifying the station name. All
appear fairly old and significantly deteriorating. Improvement needs include upgrade of
existing signs and addition of Braille signs to the remaining eight stations in the study
area. When new signs are installed, standardization of sign placement is recommended
since signs currently vary in placement from elevators to mini3high platform markers to
platform light posts.

B.1.c
INFORMATIONAL
Appendix A, Section 13.c contains visual documentation of informational signage.
INFORMATION TELEPHONE MARKER
Throughout the study area, all SCRRA informational phones are marked identically with
a standard sign bearing SCRRA's old logo. Uniformly, these signs are significantly faded
and in need of replacement or repainting. One possible exception is a sign at Fullerton
with paint in fair condition installed adjacent to the recent platform construction. Given
the significantly standardized use of the signage, upgrading these signs with fade3
resistant designs featuring the new SCRRA logo is a high priority.
TRACK AND PLATFORM
OCTA informational departure signage is provided which alphabetically lists each SCRRA
destination serviced directly from a given station, as well as the track number where
service to that destination is available. Since these directories are primarily used to aid
customers in differentiating between service offered at multiple platforms, demand for
the signage at stations with single platforms is low. Currently none of the single3
28
Final Draft
platform stations in the study area are equipped with track and platform departure
directories. The remaining eight multi3platform stations are primarily installed with
uniformly designed departure signage in good or fair condition, but one of the signs at
Fullerton, one at Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, and two at Anaheim Stadium are
vandalized and in need of replacement stickers. Train departure signage is lacking at
the Track 1 platforms of the Irvine, Santa Ana, and Tustin stations; providing
standardized departure signs at these three locations is of moderate importance.
BOARDINGS AND SCHEDULE
There are two types of boarding information directories installed on and adjacent to
platforms: small pedestal directories, and large directories that display both boarding
and schedule information. Since neither type exists at San Clemente Pier and since
Amtrak has yet to set a date for renovation of the platform, the installation of boarding
directories in the near term would aid customers in trip planning. On a system3wide
level, keeping the signage updated and standardizing the quality of kiosks and
pedestals that display the signage is a moderate need.
Boardings Only
Small directory sheets are adhered to pedestals painted with the standard SCRRA blue
and teal stripes along the top edge. Although the informational sheets have recently
been upgraded to include SCRRA’s current logo, several pedestals are chipped, faded,
and in need of repainting. Since the sheets do not fully fill the space left on the
pedestal faces by the previous versions, the appearance is less clean. At Buena Park,
the new signage has been torn off.
Boardings and Schedule
Casings for the larger boarding and schedule directories vary widely in color, style, and
condition. A few laminated boarding and schedule sheets are mounted on pedestals
with no cover; one is taped directly onto a TVM. A historic schedule sign at San Juan
Capistrano belongs to Amtrak and is supplemented by modern SCRRA signage, which is
in good condition. Most of the display equipment is in fair or good condition and not in
need of replacement. Replacing some for the sake of uniformity and adherence to the
current logo may improve passenger experience. Installing casings or pedestals for the
Orange station schedule signs would achieve more uniformity.

B.1.d
PROHIBITORY
PEDESTRIAN DO NOT ENTER
A variety of signage exists throughout the study area prohibiting pedestrian access
across tracks and beyond the edges of platforms. Some locations utilize paired symbol
and text signs, while other prohibitory signage stands alone. Some designs are
consistent with standard signs following generic Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) designs, while others follow SCRRA themes. It is recommended that
this type of signage be improved by identifying a preferred standard sign and providing
necessary signs either to all locations that lack adequate signage, or to each station,
30
Final Draft
regardless of existing signage. Studying the standardization of pedestrian prohibitory
signs ranks moderately among system3wide improvements. Appendix A, Section 13.d
contains visual documentation of prohibitory signage.
Small Square
Those which appear to be SCRRA standard signs are of three types: red and white “All
persons are forbidden,” yellow “Do Not Enter,” and yellow “All Persons are forbidden.”
A few cities have expressed concern over the small size of these signs.
Other Types
Several locations do not prohibit access, but instead direct pedestrians toward
permitted areas. Other stations are installed with OCTA signs that prohibit both
trespassing and dumping and display the OCTA logo. A few are in fair condition, but
most of these are faded and exhibit graffiti.
A number of signs that mark restricted access areas are unique and appear only at
single stations, but not elsewhere in the study area. Some are in good condition and do
not need to be replaced, but could be replaced in order to achieve uniformity within the
corridor. Others are considerably worn and are highly eligible to be replaced in the near
future. In a few locations, BNSF signage stands alone and could be supplemented with
standard SCRRA signage.
No Pedestrian Restriction
Station locations which lack signage to restrict pedestrian access include: the Fullerton
Station Track 1 platform at both ends, as well as the south end of the Track 4 platform;
the Irvine Station interfence, as well as the Track 1 platform at both ends; the Orange
Station interfence; both ends of the San Clemente North Beach Station and San Juan
Capistrano Station platforms. The lack of signage in these areas poses a risk to public
safety.
OTHER PROHIBITIONS
The system is scattered with signage that publicizes restricted use of the stations. The
signage designs are primarily local and thus not uniform, although a faded SCRRA
standard sign exists in at least one location bearing the older SCRRA logo. Location,
condition, and quantity vary widely, although most stations lack such signage
altogether. Creating an updated standard SCRRA sign for all prohibited use of the
platforms and installing it across the system is of low importance. A smaller scale
improvement would be to provide the system with generic no3smoking signs as
suggested by the City of Orange. Locally imposed restrictions, such as prohibitions on
feeding of birds, would remain signed by cities.
B.1.e
RIDER WAYFINDING
Wayfinding signage is mounted on various station elements – walls, fences, handrails,
elevator structures – and aids customers in navigating routes through the system. The
use of these signs is moderately standardized across the study area and efforts towards
31
Final Draft
uniformity of sign design and installation ranks at a medium level. Appendix A, Section
13.e contains visual documentation of rider wayfinding signage.
TRACK AND PLATFORM
Across the study area, wayfinding signs have recently been installed to direct
passengers between platforms by indicating the path toward each numbered track.
The signage is in good condition with minimal fading. The station at Orange lacks this
signage entirely and a few of the signs at the Fullerton station have sustained some
damage. Stations with only one platform do not require — and therefore are not
installed with — such directional signage. Possible enhancements include as3needed
repair and sign installation at the two stations mentioned above since the signage
design is already standardized. Therefore the existing signage in good condition is not
in need of enhancement.
WAYFINDING: ACCESSIBLE FACILITIES
Wayfinding signage toward accessible ramps and elevators at the stations is
inconsistent across the system. Accessibility improvements, as well as general station
signage and maintenance and operation of mini3high platforms, are the responsibilities
of the local cities and redevelopment agencies. As a result, a system3wide program
would work with these entities to create standard designs and placement locations for
the signs, and to provide signage for installation across the system. Since CBC
regulates accessibility to a high degree, incorporating its straightforward requirements
into the standard is recommended.
Mini7High Platforms
The accessible mini3high platforms are marked in a variety of ways: some have
wheelchair symbols affixed to the handrail, others are installed on a separate pedestal,
and still others have ankle3level signage adhered to the concrete at the back of the
mini3high platforms. More frequently, the mini3highs are not signed. The small square
signs are of similar design, but are not identical and exist in poor to good condition
from weathering. CBC standard signage should be adopted.
Ramps, Elevators
A variety of other platform access ramps are marked with CBC/ADA wheelchair symbols
and wayfinding arrows leading toward them. A few elevators are marked with both
wheelchair access symbols and wayfinding signage directing toward the elevators.
Some older, significantly faded symbol and text signs appear to incorporate SCRRA
design themes. While a few similar themes are prevalent, the symbols used vary across
the study area.
MARKER: ELEVATOR
In locations where elevators have been signed with markers, one sign design has been
uniformly used across the system. Although some have experienced mild fading, the
signage is primarily in good condition. Elevators that are not marked with signage at
the lower doors are located at the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Santa Ana stations.
Upper level entrances to elevators lacking marker signs are located at Buena Park,
32
Final Draft
Fullerton, and Santa Ana stations. To achieve uniformity, the signage could be added
in these five locations, as well as installed at any future elevator banks.
B.2. STATION SIGNAGE
B.2.a
MONUMENT
The monument sign at the Track 2 approach to the Tustin station is backlit and bears
the OCTA logo and the current SCRRA logo. All other monument signs in the study
area are either lit from the front or unlit and bear either the old SCRRA logo or no logo.
Many of these are anchored by concrete pillars and incorporate the standard SCRRA
teal and blue stripes, but a few deviations occur at locations such as the Anaheim
Stadium and Orange stations where the SCRRA sign is part of a larger signage
installment. Improvement needs include: repairing damaged and faded signs, installing
lighting for unlit and insufficiently lighted signs, or installing the new standard
monument signs at all stations to match Tustin, likely necessitating the removal of
existing signage structures. Altering of monument signage would require coordination
among cities, particularly to address signs which may be of historical significance, such
as those installed at San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente North Beach. These
moderately ranking enhancements and standardizations of the monument signage may
require a study to coordinate the variable needs and constraints at each station.
Appendix A, Section 14.a contains visual documentation of monument signage.
B.2.b
WAYFINDING: LOCAL ROAD TO STATION
A new standard OCTA sign designed with the OCTA logo has recently been added to
direct motorists from the local road system to each station. The new large, green
standard sign type has been installed at a few locations, but others are still awaiting
this improvement. Nearby freeways, exit ramps, and local roads are frequently signed
with standard green highway signs from the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), which offer more generalized information about the train stations. A few
samples of an older, pink, OCTA standard sign with the SCRRA and OCTA logos are still
posted on local roads, but most have been replaced. At Anaheim and Anaheim Canyon,
where the older signs are still posted, the City of Anaheim is responsible for removing
the signage. Half of the stations lack the new standard signage, including the San
Clemente North Beach and Tustin stations, which lack all wayfinding signage. The
installation of additional standard wayfinding signs is a moderately important
enhancement. Appendix A, Section 14.b contains visual documentation of local
wayfinding signage.
B.2.c
BICYCLE LOCKERS
Some of the existing bicycle lockers are signed with marker, wayfinding, or rental
information signage. Two signs, which appear to be a SCRRA standard design type and
significantly faded, mark the location of the bicycle lockers at Anaheim Canyon.
Additionally, an informational sign is posted on the side of the row of lockers with locker
rental instructions. At the Irvine station, two wayfinding signs are posted to direct
33
Final Draft
customers towards bicycle parking. Anaheim Stadium, Fullerton, Orange, and Tustin
signage provides information about locker rental. All other stations with bicycle lockers
lack all forms of bicycle signage. Bicycle racks are similarly without signage. The
installation of uniform signage to mark and/or direct customers toward bicycle storage
could improve customer experience, but the off3platform enhancement ranks low on
among station3wide improvements. Appendix A, Section 14.c contains visual
documentation of bicycle locker signage.
B.2.d
EXCLUSIVE SCRRA CUSTOMER PARKING
The majority of stations reserve some parking for SCRRA customers. The signs that
identify the reserved areas are located in the parking areas and thus rank at a low level.
With exceptions at Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, these signs are similar in
design, but not uniform. Signage function varies slightly between wayfinding and
marking of reserved stalls and zones, but the latter is the most common type in use.
Even where the zone marker signage is provided, the low quantity of these signs may
contribute to motorist confusion; wayfinding signage is even sparser. At Anaheim
Canyon, SCRRA customer stalls are additionally identified by striping text.
Improvement needs include: installation of supplemental parking zone identification
signage where needed, creating and providing standard signage that is to be used
throughout the system in reserved SCRRA parking areas, and providing and
supplementing wayfinding signage. Striping improvements of similarly low rank include
system3wide programs for striping each reserved stall in the system and restriping
several of the faded stalls at Anaheim Canyon. Appendix A, Section 14.d contains visual
documentation of SCRRA parking signage.
In several locations, restricting stalls to SCRRA patrons is either not practical due to
capacity and shared parking use, or not necessary where ample parking is currently
provided.

OTHER SIGNAGE
Other station signage is installed that is less directly applicable to SCRRA riders and
facilities. While some signs are designed with SCRRA themes, standardizing the
signage is a lower priority. At parking areas, MUTCD standard signage that conforms in
graphic and text appearance should be uniformly selected. Appendix A, Section 14.e
contains visual documentation of other parking signage.
PARKING: ACCESSIBILITY SIGNAGE
Every station is signed and striped to mark the accessible parking. In some cases, the
signage design conforms to SCRRA themes, although most provide some variety of solid
blue MUTCD3style signage. Since the SCRRA3style signs are consistently faded across
the system, improvement needs include: replacement of these signs with generic
MUTCD3style signs or SCRRA3style signage, or replacement of all accessible parking
signs uniformly in the system with signs of a standard design. Accessible parking
signage is defined by the California Building Code (CBC), Section 1109A.8.8 Parking
Signage.
In addition to individual accessible parking stalls, areas of accessible parking are often
signed at the areas’ entrances, indicating penalty and towing information. Such signs
also vary throughout the study area and may be eligible for replacement for the sake of
achieving uniformity.
PARKING: MOTORCYCLE SIGNAGE
Some of the station parking includes motorcycle parking areas. A few of these areas
have been marked with signage, which varies widely in design and condition. Faded
signs could be replaced with standardized signage, or all motorcycle parking could be
installed with a standard sign, regardless of condition of existing signs. Since Buena
Park and Santa Ana motorcycle parking areas are designated only with striping, these
stations could be upgraded with signage to match the rest of the system.
PARKING: ELECTRIC VEHICLE STATION SIGNAGE
Uniform signage exists to mark the electric vehicle charging stations at Anaheim
Stadium and Santa Ana, but is severely faded in both locations. In Anaheim Canyon,
posts exist at the charging units, but signs were removed at a previous date when units
were out of service for an extended time. A small marker sheet is adhered to the
casing of the one unit whose repairs have been funded, but no easily visible metal sign
exists. Other charging locations include Irvine, which has spaces signed and designated
for exclusive use by ZevNet ride3share cars, and Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, which
lacks both signage and full3sized charging units. Curiously, Fullerton’s signage exists,
but the charging stations have been replaced with bicycle lockers. Improvement needs
include upgrading and replacing the faded and missing signage at Anaheim Stadium,
Anaheim Canyon, and Santa Ana, possibly supplementing Irvine’s private signs with
standard signage, and resolving unique situations at Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and
Fullerton.
36
Final Draft
It is noted that accessibility codes require that a minimum number of charging stalls are
to be reserved for accessible use, proportional to the total number of charging stalls
provided.
PROHIBITED SCRRA CUSTOMER PARKING
This signage varies widely and appears to be primarily posted by local tenants. Without
removing the private signage, the opportunity may exist to cooperate with tenants to
provide standardized wayfinding away from these restricted areas toward sanctioned
SCRRA parking, thus working to alleviate tensions with neighbors.
MISC PARKING: DROP OFF ONLY, BUS ONLY, TAXI ONLY
A large number of other types of signage exist at station parking facilities, varying
widely according to the needs of each station. Zones for loading passengers, areas
restricted for bus use, and stalls reserved for van pools are among the assortment of
signage installed. Because achieving uniformity among the signage design themes may
not be practical, a study is recommended to assess existing unique signs at the parking
facilities in the system to determine which are in disrepair, which are missing, and
which require additional funding to replace or supplement.

B.3. PLATFORM ELEMENTS
At each station in the study corridor, the train platforms are the responsibility of the
local city or redevelopment. In the majority of instances, cities or redevelopment
agencies are responsible for elements such as seating, canopies, and drinking
fountains. As dictated by local budgets, these elements are in various states of repair
and may or may not require assistance to achieve and maintain high standards of
service.
B.3.a
DETECTABLE WARNING STRIPS AND PASSENGER DIRECTION
As required by ADA’s 2010 Standards for State and Local Government Facilities, Section
810.5.2 Detectable Warnings for Rail Platforms:
Platform boarding edges not protected by platform screens or guards shall have
detectable warnings complying with [ADA Regulation] 705 along the full length
of the public use area of the platform.
The 2010 CBC, Chapter 11, Section 1121B.3 Fixed facilities and stations, regulates
these warning systems, requiring detectable warnings and detectable directional texture
at transit platforms:
Transit boarding platforms shall have a detectable warning texture extending the
full length of the loading area.
Where the color value contrast between the yellow warning and the main
walking surface is less than 70 percent, a 1 inch3wide (25 mm) black strip shall
separate the yellow warning from the main walking surface.
At transit boarding platforms, the pedestrian access shall be identified with a
detectable directional texture…with bars raised…from the surface…This surface
will be placed directly behind the yellow detectable warning texture…aligning
with all doors of the transit vehicles where passengers will embark.
Accordingly, all platforms are equipped with hard plastic tiles designed to aid the
visually impaired. The tactile tile strips are uniformly yellow and primarily patterned with
truncated hemispheres. Three stations are installed with supplemental detectable
texture tiles at passenger loading areas; two are patterned to CBC code with directional
raised bars, while the other utilizes truncated domes and therefore does not meet code.
According to CBC regulations, all platforms should be equipped with these directional
tiles. The majority of the warning tiles are edged by single black lines, and it is not
immediately evident if existing color contrast values will require the addition of black
strips to the remaining platforms in order to meet CBC requirements.
While several platforms lack instructional wording, others are painted with a range of
phrases incorporating words such as “wait,” “stay,” “stand,” and “please” to advise
passengers to remain behind the painted or tiled warning lines. These warning lines
are composed of smooth rectangular tiles, simple stripes painted onto the walking
surface, or raised reflective paint, and are primarily yellow, with the exception at Irvine,
38
Final Draft
which is blue. At the Track 2 Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and portions of the Track 1
Orange platforms, the stripes are worn away to the point of non3functionality and need
replacement. Existing configurations vary by station, some of which have differing
layouts on the northbound and southbound platforms.
At the majority of the stations in the study area, the detectable warnings are the
responsibilities of the local city, though OCTA shares responsibility at the Irvine and San
Juan Capistrano stations. Although needs for near term repairs differ by station, an
improvement for consideration is the upgrade of all platform edges to achieve
uniformity across the system. For example, a smaller scale improvement could address
repainting the passenger direction phrases to use the same paint and display the same
phrase, while a larger scale upgrade could involve removal and replacement of tactile
tiles. Upgrades vary in priority with the cost of each, but in general these system3wide
improvements are of moderate ranking. A recommended preparatory measure is a
study to determine how much uniformity of design can feasibly be achieved. Appendix
A, Section 15.a contains visual documentation of detectable warnings.
B.3.b
SEATING AND BENCHES
Throughout the system, seating and benches are the responsibility of the local city.
Given budget differences, the condition and amount of seating facilities vary widely.
Passenger demand often far exceeds the supply. A preliminary, moderately ranking
improvement would be to repair and upgrade equipment in cases of severe need such
as the unstable, backless seats at the Anaheim Canyon Station platform or the armless
benches at the Orange Station bus turnaround. On a system3wide scale, available
seating could be studied to compare demand between stations and rank stations based
upon need for new seating equipment. Appendix A, Section 15.b contains visual
documentation of seating.
B.3.c
LIGHT FIXTURES
The light fixtures installed at platforms, station buildings, overpasses, and parking areas
across the study area have been designed to fit local aesthetic preferences. Given the
diverse designs and repair conditions present, system3wide savings may be possible in
the form of energy3efficient retrofit enhancements. A study to assess the feasibility of
energy3efficient upgrades to light fixtures across the corridor is a medium priority.
Appendix A, Section 15.d contains visual documentation of light fixtures.
B.3.d
PAINT FOR PLATFORM AMENITIES AND EQUIPMENT
Cities or their redevelopment agencies are responsible for paint at stations, as well as
operation and maintenance of platform equipment such as waste receptacles, hand
railings, fences, seating, and canopies (including TVM canopies). Repair and painting
schedules vary by city, some of which are particularly underfunded. Paint colors are
often unique and dictated by local themes, making system3wide painting projects less
preferable. In some locations, such as a portion of the Orange Station, cities are
interested in replacing painted equipment with stainless steel equivalents. In other
locations, cities are open to moving away from burdensome painting themes and
39
Final Draft
toward more cost effective solutions, but lack the capital to make such a shift. System3
wide painting improvements may be difficult to streamline given the number of
variables that contribute to the condition of painted surfaces in the study corridor.
Nonetheless, low3priority improvements that would benefit from assistance include one3
time paint projects such as Fullerton’s pedestrian bridge, supplemental painting
maintenance of entire stations, or one3time paint color/theme conversion projects.
Appendix A, Section 15.e contains visual documentation of paint needs.
The interfence that exists between tracks is an exception to the above mentioned city
maintenance responsibilities. The fencing falls under the category of “Facilities used for
rail service & operations” in Appendix B, which is the responsibility of OCTA and SCRRA.
Interfence repainting, installation of more extensive fencing, or upgrade of paint colors
as part of station3wide paint projects would presumably be the responsibility of OCTA at
most locations.
B.3.e
ELEVATORS
Due to the high cost of installing and effectively upgrading elevators, achieving a high
level of service throughout the system may not rank highly, unless accessible routes of
travel become unavailable. On a station3by3station basis, locations such as Laguna
Niguel/Mission Viejo and Irvine currently provide poor elevator service and these cities
are more urgently in need of repair, upgrade, and possibly installation of additional
elevator banks. As a moderate system wide priority, a study could determine how best
to monitor demand across the system in the long term, ensuring that a satisfactory
level of elevator service is sustained through attentive maintenance and upgrades.
Appendix A, Section 15.c contains visual documentation of elevators.
B.3.f
BIRD DETERRENTS
A few cities have expressed interest in equipment to deter birds from nesting and
alighting at platform areas. Each city would likely be responsible if equipment is
installed. This low3priority improvement, while not urgently needed in most locations,
could extend the life of paint on certain platform elements and facilities.
B.3.g
DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Half of the stations in the study area offer no drinking fountains to customers, one of
which possesses equipment that needs to be removed. Most stations with drinking
fountains have equipment located in an adjacent station building or off3platform
ticketing area only. Other locations have one to four platform fountains; two of these
locations have both platform and depot building drinking fountains. Equipment types
are wall3mounted or free3standing; most are single fountain units but a few are double
units. These amenities, each of which is maintained by the local city, exhibit a wide
range of design styles, as well as functionality and water damage levels. On a system3
wide level, installing drinking fountains of a standardized style at stations that lack
drinking fountain equipment or that require upgrades is of low importance. Such
installation would likely be preceded by a study to determine adherence to ADA/CBC
code, customer demand, and practicable installation locations.

IV. CONCLUSION
In conjunction with the proceeding appendices, this document provides a
comprehensive inventory of existing conditions and deficiencies at the twelve SCRRA
commuter rail stations in Orange County. Based upon field observations, agreement
documents, and communication with local city and OCTA staff, recommendations are
provided to inform OCTA’s development of a capital improvement/maintenance plan for
station elements.

Figure 13.1 An older generation of track number signage is significantly faded. These
square signs make use of standard SCRRA fonts, but not standard color themes.
Figure 13.2 A more recent generation of signage relies on standard SCRRA design
themes, including the teal and blue edging stripes. These rectangular signs exhibit a
variety of weathering.
Figure 13.3 The most current track number marker signage is much like the previous
generation, but incorporates an underline beneath the word “Track.” These signs are
minimally faded.

Final Draft – Appendix B
Appendix B
Appendix B provides a comprehensive inventory of the condition and responsible parties
for the studied station elements to support the CIP Inventory and Maintenance
Improvements Document.
The Agreements Summary lists the contract agreements that have been documented
and are referenced in the proceeding pages. Following the Agreements Summary,
inventory details are listed by station. Wherever station elements are directly
addressed in contract agreements and the responsible parties can be confirmed,
references to the respective contracts and sections have been included. Where the
responsible party cannot be confirmed in a contract agreement, a responsible party is
named based upon system8wide trends, and the columns titled “Reference,” “Pg,” and
“Article/Section” are left empty.
Items in the “Priority Rankings” column identified as “System8wide” are used to indicate
that, while a certain element may not be a priority for enhancement on a station8by8
station level, addressing all similar elements at a system8wide level is of importance.
