City of Irvine
2020 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Public transportation options within Irvine are provided by two public transit agencies that operate local bus service. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides 11 routes servicing local Irvine neighborhoods, neighboring cities in Orange County, and one express route that connects to Corona and Riverside in Riverside County. i Shuttle is a local service in and around Irvine that connects the Irvine Business Complex to John Wayne International Airport (SNA), as well as providing service around the Irvine Spectrum area. 22 The Metrolink provides two stops in and around Irvine (Irvine Station and Tustin Station), both of which service the major employment centers of Irvine (Irvine Business Complex and Irvine Spectrum). The Orange County and Inland-Empire-Orange County Lines both run through these stations. These local commuter trains run 7 days a week, with greater frequency during Monday-Friday rush hour. The Orange County line extends from Union Station Terminal in Downtown Los Angeles in Los Angeles County to Oceanside in San Diego County. The Inland Empire Orange County line runs from the City of San Bernardino in San Bernardino County to the City of Oceanside, as well. Travelers can also get access to the COASTER trains, which connect longer commuters through and to the cities of San Diego, other areas of Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties. Amtrak, a train service that services the entire country, also operates out of the Irvine Station. 23 While John Wayne International Airport is not located inside the City limits, it does border the City, tucked between SR 55, SR 73, and I-405, on the west edge of the City. John Wayne plays a unique and crucial role in the Orange County community as it is the only airport that provides commercial passenger and air- cargo service and is the primary provider of general aviation services and facilities in the county. It is home to local law enforcement air operations and to medical/mercy flights. 24
