This is a formal notification of a 35-mile long, 2,500-foot high in-person financial audit of the state of California’s largest toll road network. The purpose of this inspection is to analyze the funding mechanisms behind one of the largest drivers of continued development in South Orange County. Please plan accordingly as there will be many revenue bonds to be repaid. Lights, bike, and FasTrak transponders all highly recommended. 

Be aware that this inspection’s rolling time is a hard deadline as this is when our Orange County Metrolink train will depart Union Station. The inspection will commence at Irvine Metrolink Station if you would rather meet us there. We will stop for a union-mandated lunch break in the middle of the inspection before ending the ride at San Juan Capistrano Metrolink Station at 6:03 PM to go straight back to Union Station. The Bureau highly recommends downloading the official Metrolink app to easily purchase digital train tickets.

CORRECTION: This inspection will now be conducted on May 19. All meetup and train times will be the same. Apologies for any inconvenience.
