The Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) is a rail transportation agency formed to oversee the Alameda Corridor, a dedicated rail corridor in southern California designed to separate freight and passenger movements from street traffic and improve overall efficiency of the regional rail network. Its responsibilities include dispatching trains, maintaining security and infrastructure, and collecting use fees from railroads to service debt on revenue bonds tied to the corridor project. The Mid-Corridor Trench, a central feature of the corridor, comprises a 10-mile open trench that carries freight trains between Carson and Los Angeles, with the broader route extending from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to downtown Los Angeles. ACTA operates within a public intergovernmental framework and serves cities across the corridor region, including Vernon, Huntington Park, South Gate, Lynwood, Compton, Carson, and Los Angeles. The organization is based in Long Beach, California, and has a leadership history tied to local city officials, reflecting its governance by the joint-powers authority of Los Angeles and Long Beach. A notable recent development includes leadership appointments for the governing board, illustrating ongoing governance and administration of the corridor.
