Becerra, Alexis From: Dorian Romero <dorian@saascoalition.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 2, 2026 2:34 PM To: eComment Cc: Lopez, Jessie; Hernandez, Johnathan; Vazquez, Benjamin; Penaloza, David; Amezcua, Valerie Subject: Voice your Support to Fund Metrolink -Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. Good evening Mayor and Councilmembers, My name is Dorian Romero, and I'm emailing you to ask the City Council to voice your support for Metrolink and urge OCTA not to cut funding for Metrolink. Santa Ana Active Streets advocates for better public transit systems for Santa Ana residents, and today I email you as a Santa Ana resident who relies on Metrolink to get to my destinations in Socal. Metrolink is one of the only regional rail options connecting Orange County to the rest of Southern California. People use it to get to work, school, medical appointments, airports, family, and events. If funding is cut, service could get worse, and that would push more people back into cars. I care about this because I do not own a vehicle and Metrolink is one of my main forms of transportation, aside from using public bus systems and my bike. I want myself and our Socal community to have better transportation options, not less. Orange County should be making Metrolink more useful and reliable, not allowing the system to shrink. Please use your voice and ask OCTA to protect Metrolink funding and prevent cuts to rail service. Your voice and platforms at the City Council level will demonstrate your support on this matter and give us trust in your leadership to advoicate for us who do not drive and rely on trains, buses, bikes, and our walking abilites to travel. Thank you, Dorian Romero, She/They Project Director, Santa Ana Active Streets Limited availability. I will respond to your email accordingly 1
