On brand #NewProfilePic, featuring high-speed rail, obvi.

This ain’t rocket science folks, we deserve this option. We’re shooting ourselves, our children, and our collective economy and climate in the foot if we don’t.

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about California’s election — including from the President.

This explainer is worth a watch.

And yes, for the record: we wish the votes were counted faster, too.

BART is launching a fare gate advertising pilot at nine stations as part of an ongoing effort to explore new and creative revenue opportunities.

The pilot will test how the wrap material will perform in real-world conditions.

A smoother journey begins now. 🚄

Siemens Mobility has shipped its first trainset featuring an Auxiliary Power Coach—designed & built in Sacramento for @Amtrak.

Seamless transitions between electric & diesel power = a more reliable, uninterrupted journey.

I think we literally need to pay for every elected official and policymaker to visit places with high speed rail if we want our country to not be so far behind.

[Rep. Doris Matsui @DorisMatsui]

I’m proud to announce $3,150,000 in federal funding to help launch the Sacramento Stitch Riverfront Reconnection Project.

Where I-5 runs through Sacramento once stood thriving communities—Japantown, the West End, families, small businesses, culture, and connection. That history was torn apart when the freeway divided downtown from the riverfront.

We cannot undo that harm. But we can choose what comes next—reconnecting what was divided and creating a future that brings people together.

That’s what this project is about.

This once-in-a-lifetime moment happens when sun rays hit Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park, at the perfect angle, creating a glowing lava flow.

Thousands of people gather at the same spot to witness this rare event almost every year.

Happy #EarthDay California! In SF today for mtgs as a part of @SFClimateWeek & getting around on @SFBART! Transport is largest challenge on climate emissions in CA & @CAgovernor admin has doubled down on Public Transit & ZEV’s to improve climate! Let’s do our part via transport!

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

With 2/3s of our power coming from clean energy and one of the world’s largest economies, California proves climate action and economic strength go hand-in-hand.

In 2025, California’s grid ran on 100% clean electricity for an average of 7 hours a day.

Today we begin a full systems testing of SkyLink at LAX — a major step toward passenger service. Guests can expect to see the train running 24/7.

🎉 100,000 Riders! 🎉

A huge thank you to our amazing customers for making Amtrak Mardi Gras service a success!

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

Sort of funny that every time that Amtrak operates new rail service, it’s actually very successful? Maybe we should do a lot more of it.
