Los Angeles Councilmember Tim McOsker Elected Board Chair of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority

LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Los Angeles Councilmember Tim McOsker has been elected Chair of the Governing Board of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) for the 2026-2027 term, his third time in this role. Long Beach Councilmember Suely Saro will serve as Vice Chair.

McOsker represents Los Angeles City Council District 15 - the One-Five, which encompasses the communities of Harbor City, Harbor Gateway, San Pedro, Watts, and Wilmington, as well as the Port of Los Angeles, making his stewardship of ACTA a natural extension of his commitment to the region's port communities and goods movement infrastructure.

"I am honored to once again serve as Chair of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority," said Councilmember McOsker. "The Alameda Corridor is one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in our nation. It connects our ports to the rest of the country, supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, and keeps goods moving to communities across America. I look forward to continuing our work with our partners in Los Angeles and Long Beach to strengthen this critical freight corridor, support our supply chain, and ensure this infrastructure remains reliable, resilient, and prepared for the future."

An attorney and lifelong resident of Council District 15, McOsker was elected to the Los Angeles City Council in 2022. Prior to his election, he served as Chief Executive Officer of AltaSea, a nonprofit advancing scientific discovery and ocean sustainability at the Port of Los Angeles.

ACTA is the intergovernmental agency formed under the joint-powers authority of the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It oversees the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile, grade-separated freight rail corridor connecting the nation's busiest port complex, the San Pedro Bay Ports, to the transcontinental rail network near downtown Los Angeles. The project, which opened in 2002, features a network of bridges, underpasses, and roadway improvements that separate freight trains from passenger rail and street traffic, reducing truck congestion on local freeways, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and delivering measurable air quality and safety benefits to Corridor communities.
