The Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) Board of Directors has voted to advance the Link21 Program as a standard-gauge rail project and will assume responsibility for the program’s day-to-day management, in coordination with the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA).

Following robust public outreach and technical and business case analysis, the BART Board of Directors voted to advance the Link 21 Program as a standard-gauge rail project that is part of the California State Rail Plan and a series of projects to be advanced by the state, while seeking federal funding.

Link21 recently completed an analysis of the different benefits that standard-gauge (Regional Rail) and broad-gauge (BART) train technologies can provide to the region through this project; through the spring and early summer, Link21 is on an informational roadshow sharing analysis findings.
