CalSTA The California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) has awarded $51.9m in State Rail Assistance funding to seven recipients in support of various railway projects across the United States of America.

 

 

The rail projects by California Rail Services are intended to develop the commuter and intercity rail services in California and have an approximate combined value of $136million after procuring funding from other sources.

 

 

In addition, the initiatives by California rail services are also expected to improve the railway connectivity across the region, as well as reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. The financing package was made possible following the successful passage of Senate Bill 1 (SB 1). The bill was signed by California Governor Brown in April last year and is scheduled to provide roughly $7.6bn in new transit funding over the next decade.

 

 

The awarded funds will be used in various developments such as vehicle rehabilitation and signal modernisation for Caltrain.

 

 

Additionally, the financing will be used for signal and track modernisation works in order to improve the speed and reliability of Metrolink and Amtrak trains at Los Angeles Union Station, as well as platform improvements at San Luis Obispo.
