What is the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP)?

Project Purpose and Need

• Improve Train Performance

• Increase Service and Ridership

• Increase Revenue and Reduce Cost

• Reduce Environmental Impacts

– Reduce Noise from Trains

– Improve Regional Air Quality

– Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

• High-speed Rail Compatible Electrical Infrastructure

Project Overview

• Distance: 51 miles (San Francisco Caltrain Station at 4th and King to south of Tamien Caltrain Station (San Jose))

• Speed: Up to 79 mph (same as present)

• Service: 6 trains per peak hour per direction (tpph/d) (current service is 5 tpph/d)

• Electrical Infrastructure and Vehicles

– Poles and Wires (Overhead Contact System)

– Traction Power Facilities (TPFs)

– Replacement of approximately 75% of current diesel service with Electric Multiple Units (EMUs)

• Maintain Caltrain Gilroy service and tenant use

FundingThe project is estimated to cost approximately $1.225 billion, of which approximately $785 million is for infrastructure costs and the remaining $440 million is for rolling stock. The project will be financed through a combination of local, state, and federal sources.

Other funding sources may be substituted for these sources if available. The project cost estimate and funding plan are being updated to reflect current designs and assumptions.
