橙县OC有轨电车开始净空测试：10月27日至28日圣安娜至加登格罗夫沿线验证车辆与站台间距，2026年春季载客
加利福尼亚州橙县交通局（OCTA）宣布，OC 有轨电车（OC Streetcar）已进入净空测试阶段：10月27日至28日，一列电车以拖行方式沿圣安娜至加登格罗夫之间的线路行进，验证车辆与站台、轨道及沿线设施之间的间距。这是橙县首条现代有轨电车线路在开通前的关键测试环节。
OC 有轨电车线路全长4.15英里，设10个站，从圣安娜区域交通中心向西延伸至加登格罗夫的 Harbor 大道与 Westminster 大道一带，途经圣安娜市中心。列车为8列 Siemens S700 型车辆，每列可载约211人；系统在专用轨道路段与车道混行路段之间运行，班次间隔为每10至15分钟一班。项目总投资约6.49亿美元。
OCTA 表示，净空测试之后还将进行更多系统测试与试运行，线路预计2026年春季开始载客运营。测试期间，沿线驾驶人、骑行者与行人应注意与轨道及测试车辆保持安全距离，不要在轨道上停留或穿越测试区段。
按 OCTA 的规划，OC 有轨电车将与圣安娜区域交通中心的 Metrolink 与 Amtrak 列车、OCTA 巴士网络衔接，为圣安娜与加登格罗夫之间的通勤、购物与就学出行提供新的选项。票价与票务安排将在开通前公布，电车将纳入 OCTA 的票务体系。
OC Streetcar Begins Clearance Testing October 27-28 Between Santa Ana and Garden Grove Ahead of Spring 2026 Opening
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), in Orange County, California, announced that the OC Streetcar has entered clearance testing: on October 27-28, a streetcar is being towed along the line between Santa Ana and Garden Grove to verify clearances between the vehicle, station platforms, track and lineside equipment. It is a key pre-opening step for Orange County's first modern streetcar line.
The OC Streetcar runs 4.15 miles with 10 stations, from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center west to the Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue area of Garden Grove, passing through downtown Santa Ana. The fleet consists of eight Siemens S700 vehicles, each carrying about 211 passengers, operating a mix of dedicated guideway and shared-lane segments with service every 10 to 15 minutes. The project represents an investment of about $649 million.
OCTA said further systems testing and trial running will follow the clearance tests, with passenger service expected to begin in spring 2026. During testing, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians along the corridor should keep a safe distance from the track and test vehicles and avoid stopping on or crossing through test sections.
Under OCTA's plan, the streetcar will connect with Metrolink and Amtrak trains and OCTA buses at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, adding a new option for commuting, shopping and school trips between Santa Ana and Garden Grove. Fare and ticketing details are to be announced before opening, with the streetcar integrated into OCTA's fare system.
