California State Rail Plan 2005-06 to 2015-16

Chapter VIII – The Capitol Corridor
2014-15 San Jose-Oakland, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth round-trips.
Sacramento-Roseville, seventh and eighth round-trips.
SACRAMENTO-RENO EXTENSION
The extension of intercity rail service from Sacramento to Reno would bring Statesupported
rail service to the Truckee/Tahoe and Reno/Sparks tourist areas as well
as provide relief to the highly congested I-80 Bay Area to Reno corridor.
The Department’s and the CCJPA’s plan includes the extension of
one Capitol Corridor round-trip from Auburn to Reno/Sparks in 2008-09,
and a second round-trip in 2010-11. This rail service would be supplemented by
continued operation of existing bus service that runs over the same route as the
train, but at other times of the day. This service would require an appropriate level
of financial participation from Nevada. For more detailed information on this
route expansion, see Chapter X.
DUMBARTON RAIL CORRIDOR
The CCJPA is participating in the development of the Dumbarton Rail Corridor as
an extension of Caltrain to extend commuter rail service across the Bay between
the Peninsula and the East Bay. The new service is planned to start in 2010 with
three round-trips. This new rail corridor could connect to the Capitol Corridor at
Union City where the BART station would be reconstructed as a multimodal
terminal. The CCJPA’s ten-year capital improvement program includes funding
for station and track work to allow the Capitol Corridor trains to service the new
Union City terminal. For more detailed information on this route expansion,
see Chapter IX.
AUBURN-OAKLAND REGIONAL RAIL SERVICE
Five agencies, including the CCJPA, have partnered to develop a service concept
plan for a new regional commuter rail service in the urban corridor extending from
Auburn (Bowman) to Oakland. The Auburn-Oakland Regional Rail Service
Concept Plan (Plan) released in June 2005 envisions that the new service would
augment existing Capitol Corridor intercity service by providing additional peak
period capacity for within the greater Sacramento urban area and between
Sacramento and the Bay Area. The two services would utilize the same
equipment, staff, and fare structure, and thus would appear fully unified to the
riding public. The Plan includes three-phases; a first phase, planned for 2010
would add four new Sacramento-Oakland round-trips. The second phase, planned
for 2015, would include four new Sacramento-Auburn round-trips and one
additional Oakland to Sacramento round-trip. The third phase, planned for 2020,
would add new stations, primarily in the Sacramento metropolitan area. For more
detailed information on this route expansion, see Chapter X.
