California rail project awarded $20M DOT grant as it works towards including RD

In California, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), in conjunction with the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC), a $20 million Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant to help construct the Stockton Diamond Grade Separation project – the only rail project in the United States to be selected for BUILD grant funding for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 cycle.

Mass Transit Magazine reports the project is a key link in the SJRRC’s expansion plans that convert trains and connecting bus services to run on renewable diesel in an effort to improve local air quality.
