The Valley Rail Project is a joint proposal by the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission to dramatically improve passenger rail service to the Sacramento region with both and Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) service. The Valley Rail project will implement a new transportation vision for serving the Sacramento region with integrated intercity and commuter rail service. The grant funds will help perform track improvements on the existing Sacramento subdivision freight corridor that runs just east of Interstate 5 to make it usable for passenger service, and build new shared San Joaquins and ACE stations in Lodi, Elk Grove, Sacramento City College, Sacramento Midtown, Old North Sacramento, and Natomas which will include a shuttle connection to the Sacramento International Airport. What is the timeline for Valley Rail? Valley Rail is ready to advance. If the SJJPA/SJRRC joint TIRCP application is successful in receiving SB 1 funding, construction is anticipated to start in 2019. The environmental process is underway and draft documents for public review will be available for the ACE Extension to Sacramento in Summer 2018 and for the ACE Extension to Ceres in Fall 2018.
