  8. Transit Transfer Program • Cap-and-trade application – one-year demo • Seamless transfer from Pacific Surfliner to 12 local transit operators at 27 stations • On-board sale of discounted Metro TAP pass

Next Steps • Complete negotiations of interagency transfer agreement with State of California • Close coordination with San Joaquin corridor • Expected approval in June 2015, transfer beginning in summer 2015 • Submit final business plan with key initiatives • Finalize staffing and transition plans • Work on statewide initiatives (equipment purchase, integrated schedules and ticketing) • Continue to work with member agencies and partners on regional/statewide coordination
