Please see the information below regarding the proposed schedule change.
At the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission board meeting on Friday, June 26, the Commission took up the item of the proposed ACE schedule change (reference in an earlier post). Staff presented the proposed schedule along with a summary of all comments received from the public. In all, 43 written comments were received from passengers; 23 of which were complimentary toward the change and 20 expressed some reservation, especially with regard to the change of ACE 05. The board approved the proposed schedule change with direction to staff to look into possible ways of reducing the 20-minute change to ACE 05. As such, while the new schedule will not be made effective until the fall, staff will work with Union Pacific Railroad and Amtrak on any possible resolution to the ACE 05 schedule challenges. We will continue to alert the passengers throughout the process of making the train schedule as efficient as possible.
