Michael Antonovich
Los Angeles County
served 36 years on the L.A. County Board
of Supervisors representing a sprawling
district that included all or parts of the
Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita, San Fernando
and San Gabriel Valleys, and Pomona.
Antonovich also served many years on the
governing boards for Metrolink, LA County
Metro and the South Coast Air Quality
Management District board, where he was
a staunch fighter for safety and clean air
funding for Metrolink Positive Train Control
and Tier 4 clean locomotives as well as
improvements in service on Metrolink's
Antelope Valley Line.
Jacki Bacharach
Los Angeles County
(Metrolink's First Board Chair)
currently executive director of the South Bay
Cities Council of Governments. Along with
Metrolink's first CEO, Richard Stanger, and
Neil Peterson, who headed the former Los
Angeles County Transportation Commission
(LACTC), Bacharach was part of the
triumvirate that launched Metrolink a quarter
century ago. The former Rancho Palos
Verdes mayor's career is intertwined with
the modern era of public transportation in
Southern California. Bacharach also was a
member of the Los Angeles-San Diego Rail
Corridor Agency, overseeing area Amtrak
service, and served on the LACTC governing
board, overseeing development of the Metro
Blue and Green rail lines.
