Help Us Connect Northern California
What does good rail service mean to you? Your input will help shape Link21 to best serve your community and Northern California as a whole.
Connecting People, Places, and Possibilities
This fall, we hosted a series of webinars with live Q&As. You can watch the recordings to learn how Link21 is using exciting market analysis insights and the four building blocks of planning to reimagine rail in Northern California.
Link21 presents its value-capture framework
Watch the Link21 Team present the Program value capture framework to the BART Board of Directors. In this presentation, Director Sadie Graham and Jeff Morales, Managing Principal of InfraStrategies, speak to the importance of early value capture as a funding, financing, and land use strategy.
We’re Committed to Equity and Inclusion
Read our equity vision statement to learn how Link21 is working hard to deliver a better passenger rail system to transit-dependent riders, communities harmed by past infrastructure projects, and individuals with limited access to housing, jobs, and opportunities.
We want as many voices and perspectives as possible. Learn how you can get involved with Link21.
The Benefits of Link21 Are Game-changing
New passenger rail connections will help you get to the places you want to go and protect our environment from the harmful greenhouse gas emissions of cars. Link21 will have a positive impact on the environment by creating jobs, advancing equity, and tackling the climate crisis.
