About ACTA - Governance

The project was built by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA), a joint powers authority formed by the cities and Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. ACTA’s seven-member Governing Board includes two representatives from each port; a member of each city council, and a representative of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. ACTA’s lead program manager was the Alameda Corridor Engineering Team (ACET), a joint venture of four leading firms: DMJM Harris; Moffatt & Nichol Engineers; Jenkins/Gales & Martinez, and TELACU.

Following the April 2002 opening, operations have been overseen by a four-member Alameda Corridor Operating Committee, staffed by ACTA personnel, which includes one representative each from the Port of Long Beach; Port of Los Angeles; Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, and Union Pacific Railroad. The Governing Board continues to provide policy direction to ACTA staff regarding additional projects and planning studies.
