The Altamont Corridor Vision outlines a comprehensive plan to modernize passenger rail service in the Altamont Corridor, connecting the San Joaquin Valley to the Bay Area. It proposes short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals focused on increasing train frequency, initiating new services like Valley Link, and implementing significant infrastructure improvements such as a new tunnel, grade separation, electrification, and higher speeds. The plan aims to alleviate congestion, enhance mobility and connectivity, and enable fast, reliable, and frequent regional rail service, potentially including a one-seat ride across the megaregion and compatibility with High-Speed Rail.
