Program Overview

With the recent soft launch of our new electric trains, Caltrain is on its way to becoming a faster, more efficient, and sustainable service, while also advancing the agency’s equity goals. Learn more about these new electric trains and the service they will provide. 

The primary purpose of Caltrain Electrification is to improve Caltrain system performance and curtail long-term environmental impacts by reducing noise, improving regional air quality, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Electrification improvements will better address Peninsula commuters’ vision of increased service and improved travel times in an environmentally friendly and reliable way. These service improvements are also expected to help accommodate increased system ridership through improved system operations. Sign up to receive the latest updates on Caltrain Electrification.
