Oakland, CA – June 19, 2025 — 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). This milestone follows the BART Board’s vote last week to support the same direction, signaling a unified commitment to a more connected and modern rail network for Northern California.
“Taking on the day-to-day management of Link21 positions Capitol Corridor to ensure strong regional coordination, local engagement, and program momentum,” said Rob Padgette, Managing Director of CCJPA. “We are honored to help move this visionary project forward in partnership with BART, CalSTA, and many other regional and state partners.”
At the center of Link21 is a new transbay rail crossing between Oakland and San Francisco, which will improve mobility, increase rail capacity, and support statewide connectivity with zero-emission passenger trains. The decision to use standard-gauge tracks—compatible with most regional and intercity rail systems—aligns with California’s long-term vision for an integrated, statewide passenger rail network.
In the coming years, CCJPA and its partners will define a proposed project for the new crossing, advance environmental review, and continue public engagement and technical analysis. A funding and implementation strategy will also be developed in collaboration with state and federal agencies, including pursuing support through the Federal Railroad Administration’s Corridor Identification and Development (Corridor ID) Program.
Link21 is included in major regional and statewide plans, including the California State Rail Plan and Plan Bay Area 2050. The program aims to transform travel throughout the Northern California Megaregion by expanding rail options, reducing emissions, and strengthening economic connections.
About CCJPA and Capitol Corridor® Managed by the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), the Capitol Corridor is an intercity rail service connecting Northern California’s most economically dynamic regions, from Sacramento to Silicon Valley, including major hubs like San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Serving more than one million passengers annually, Capitol Corridor offers a reliable and comfortable alternative to driving on congested freeways.
