Alviso Wetland Railroad Adaptation Alternatives Study
ENVIRONMENT RELIABILITY
Evaluates sea level rise adaptation options for railroad tracks between Newark and Santa Clara to improve resiliency of railroad infrastructure, enhance species and habitat restoration efforts, and ensure that such infrastructure can support future plans for increased passenger train service between Oakland and San Jose. The Study engaged a broad range of stakeholders between 2018 and 2020 and set up solid foundation for future adaptation efforts, which will require additional funding, technical analyses, and partnerships with various stakeholders. The final Study Report can be found here.

Door Panel Replacement
RELIABILITY EXPERIENCE
The fleet of equipment supporting the Capitol Corridor service received regular and routine maintenance. From time-to-time certain components of the equipment pass their usefulness and require replacement. Such was the case with our door panels. As they were reaching end of life, their performance suffered with doors getting stuck or not aligning properly when in the closed position—ultimately translating into delays for riders. The CCJPA team lead the procurement for new door panels for all train cars, and the installation was completed in 2021. Check out our Behind the Scenes: Door Panel Replacement video for additional details about the project.
