The Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) is a joint agency created by the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It manages the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile freight rail route that connects the San Pedro Bay port complex to the national rail network near downtown Los Angeles.

Opened in 2002, the corridor includes bridges, underpasses, and road improvements that separate freight trains from passenger trains, and vehicle traffic. This helps reduce truck congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality and safety for nearby communities.

"I am honored to once again serve as Chair of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority," said Councilmember McOsker. "The Alameda Corridor is one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in our nation. It connects our ports to the rest of the country, supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, and keeps goods moving to communities across America. I look forward to continuing our work with our partners in Los Angeles and Long Beach to strengthen this critical freight corridor, support our supply chain, and ensure this infrastructure remains reliable, resilient, and prepared for the future."

About Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA)

Founded in 1981, the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) financed, built, and now operates the Alameda Corridor. The project includes bridges, underpasses, overpasses, and roadway improvements that separate freight trains from passenger trains and street traffic, helping create a more efficient transportation system.

ACTA is responsible for managing train operations, maintaining and securing the corridor’s infrastructure and collecting usage fees from railroads. These fees are used to help repay the revenue bonds that financed the project.
