Document Description
The Proposed Project would establish a new passenger rail service along a 22-mile corridor in Northern California between the existing Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station in Alameda County and the proposed Mountain House Community Station in San Joaquin County. The Proposed Project would provide an all-day bi-directional passenger rail service at frequent intervals using zero-emission multiple unit vehicles. The alignment would be constructed within a combination of the existing I-580 freeway median, the existing transportation corridor owned by Alameda County (former Southern Pacific Transcontinental Railroad alignment), existing Caltrans right of way (ROW) adjacent to westbound I-580, and new ROW to be acquired for the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project includes the construction and operation of four stations, Dublin/Pleasanton Station, Isabel Station, Southfront Road Station, and Mountain House Community Station. Facilities to support operations and maintenance are planned at three locations, the Altamont Maintenance of Way Staging area, the Mountain House Layover Facility, and the Tracy Operations and Maintenance Facility/Operations Support Site.
