California operates three state-supported intercity rail services (Pacific Surfliner, Capitol Corridor, San Joaquins) and five regional rail services (Metrolink, Caltrain, Altamont Corridor Express, COASTER, and Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit)

The California State Rail Plan sets a goal of nearly 200 million daily passenger-miles on a statewide rail network by 2050

Planned rail investments total $65 billion over the next 10 years and $307 billion by 2050, projected to generate over $537 billion in economic returns

The state aims to electrify approximately 1,500 miles of rail by 2050 and construct 440 miles of new rail over the next 10 years
