The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) $3,754,458 on August 8, 2025, under the State of Good Repair Grants Program (CFDA 20.525). This formula grant funds one year of capitalized maintenance activities for the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) commuter rail service during the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The funding covers all eligible expenses related to capitalized maintenance payments necessary to maintain SJRRC's transit assets in a state of good repair, consistent with the organization's Transit Asset Management plan.

The award will enable SJRRC to meet established capitalized maintenance standards while sustaining reliable commuter rail service across San Joaquin, Alameda, and Santa Rica Counties. By maintaining the ACE's operational capacity, the funding directly benefits SJRRC riders and the broader regional community by supporting workforce mobility, reducing single-occupancy vehicle miles, and decreasing highway congestion and air pollution. No subrecipient activities are included under this award.
