On Tuesday April 2, 2010, the Metrolink Board of Directors (BOD) will convene a meeting to vote on proposed rate hikes, ending of fare discounts, and significant elimination of service by cutting both weekday and weekend train routes.
We believe the riders of the Antelope Valley (AV) line have been unfairly burdened with critical service reduction relative to other lines based on available fare revenue and ridership data.
2. Save the 808 and 850 Metrolink Trains 
Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) will convene a public hearing at a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors on April 2, 2010 concerning the anticipated significant budget shortfall for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2010.
The hearing issues include proposals for,
(1) the establishment, modification, structuring or restructuring of fares and/or servicees/major service reduction to meet SCCRA's operating expenses,
(2) its purchase or lease of supplies, etc.
(3) meeting financial reserves and obtaining funds for capital projects.
The main issues this Petition is concerned with is the potential service changes/major service reductions include the discontinuation of service of trains 850, and curtailing of service south of Laguna for train 808. By discontinuing service of the 850 train, commuters must take earlier trains or ride Amtrak for this time period of 7:30 a.m. out of Oceanside.
