Caltrain’s Modernization Program (CalMod) will electrify one of North America’s most well-used regional rail lines, which unites the world’s largest tech corridor, spanning San Francisco and San Jose. The project will transform the route with frequent rapid transit-like service with new European Style trains.
The modernization project reverberates well beyond the Bay Area and California, as it could influence the future of numerous regional rail lines across North America by charting a new path forward. Increasing North America’s electrified rail network would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide more mobility options that would be accessible to all.
