Fixed-Guideway Transit Corridor Study

The City of Anaheim has been studying whether it should build a transit link between ARTIC and the Anaheim Resort.  The city has commissioned the Anaheim Fixed-Guideway Transit Corridor Study and is well under way with gathering public input.

As the Anaheim Resort continues to grow and expand, it will become necessary to accommodate more visitors into the area.  Over the past few years, the resort has added a number of new destinations, most notably the GardenWalk. Disney is currently renovating Disney’s California Adventure, with the hopeful result being increased park attendance.  The convention Center has been contemplating expansion plans. As the Platinum Triangle develops, more residents will be living in the area. Once ARTIC is built, it will be easier for visitors to get to Anaheim without a car.  These visitors will need a method of transit within the city once they get to the city. With all of this recent and planned expansion of the Resort and Platinum Triangle, it is important for the City to look ahead at its future needs and make its own plans to ensure those needs are met.
