The 2018 California State Rail Plan, the state’s strategic plan for creating a coordinated, statewide rail network, identified a “Solano County Hub” to link Capitol Corridor, future Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) trains, and regional buses. This report analyzed potential rail station locations along the Union Pacific Railroad/SMART corridor within Solano County to determine a recommended location for the proposed Solano County Hub. The study recommends the current location of the Suisun-Fairfield Capitol Corridor Station as the SMART-Capitol Corridor station site. In addition, the report provides a range of station options for another station site in the Cordelia area in the City of Fairfield that could be considered in the update of the City’s General Plan.

The Update projects priorities for rail stations, future rail passenger service, and rail freight priorities for the next 10 years. The short-medium term outlook of the plan reflects the desire by the sponsoring agencies to identify improvements that are reasonable, realistic and potentially eligible for funding within known programs. There are also developments impacting the rail facilities of Solano County and investments in facilities that will be more likely to occur beyond the 10-year horizon. These are identified where relevant throughout the document.

In January 2021, the STA Board officially designated the Suisun-Fairfield Station as the Solano Rail Hub. In February 2021, the STA, in partnership with the cities of Suisun City and Fairfield, the County of Solano and the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, began the process of developing a Project Study Report to detail the design layout of the station and associated facilities. This report documents the initial findings from Phase I of the PSR process and outlines the next steps for the Phase II study.

The Vallejo Passenger Rail Study explored the feasibility of passenger rail service within Vallejo and to nearby communities, such as Napa, Fairfield/Suisun City, and Novato and found that a substantial market exists to and from Vallejo, with demand both within the city (and American Canyon) and to regional destinations with connections to the state rail network. The study identifies next steps to begin advancing concepts of rail service in Vallejo in partnership with adjacent counties, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, and the State.
