Residents of Manteca, California, are set to benefit from a future rail connectivity system that will revolutionize commuting and travel options in the area. The Valley Link project, which will incorporate hydrogen-powered train sets, is in the works with a planned 22-mile phase expected to be operational post-2028. This system will connect various modes of transportation, including ACE, CalRail, and Amtrak, providing seamless travel opportunities to neighboring cities and even San Francisco. With an emphasis on commuter convenience, large parking facilities are being constructed, such as the 3,000-stall parking lot at the Mountain House Valley Link station.
