A number of pieces of infrastructure are needed to bring the ACE train to Ceres so the awarding of a $71 million state grant to the agencies to complete them has been heralded as good news. The San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) and San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) was awarded $71 million from the California State Transportation Agency’s (CalSTA) Cycle 7 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) for the “Bridging Rail Initiatives, Technology, and Education (BRITE) Project.”
