The Copper Line, officially the Copper Line - East County Connector,^[4] is a future line of the San Diego Trolley in East County, San Diego. It will operate as a shuttle between the El Cajon Transit Center and the Santee station, replacing the existing Green and Orange line service in that area. The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) proposed the Copper Line because the section of the line between Gillespie Field station and Santee has a single track, which has been the source of delays that impact both the Green and Orange lines. The Copper Line aims to alleviate these issues by creating a dedicated shuttle service disconnected from the larger Green and Orange lines.
