Alameda Corridor-East Constr: Grade Separations & Safety Upgrades
Established in 1998 by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, our organization specializes in implementing critical transportation infrastructure improvements to address freight rail traffic impacts. We focus on constructing grade separations and safety upgrades at rail crossings, enhancing mobility and reducing vehicle delays across 70 miles of railroad corridors in the San Gabriel Valley. Our work directly supports the ACE Trade Corridor, which handles 16% of all U.S. oceangoing containers, by improving safety, reducing emissions, and facilitating efficient freight movement. With over two decades of experience, we have completed 16 grade separations and 40 safety projects, demonstrating our commitment to addressing regional transportation challenges. Our team collaborates with local governments and stakeholders to deliver solutions that align with community needs while maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations.We prioritize transparency through public engagement initiatives, accessible documentation, and dedicated communication channels for stakeholders. Our projects incorporate environmental sustainability principles by reducing idling-related emissions and creating quieter zones for residential areas. As a successor to the ACE Construction Authority since 2017, we continue to uphold rigorous engineering standards while maintaining fiscal responsibility in managing a $2.02 billion program. Our expertise extends to coordinating complex construction schedules with ongoing operations of freight, commuter, and intercity rail services. Through continuous innovation and adherence to best practices, we strive to set benchmarks for transportation infrastructure projects nationwide.

Services
Grade Separations
Constructing overpasses and underpasses to eliminate at-grade rail crossings improves safety and traffic flow. This service reduces collisions between trains and vehicles while minimizing emergency responder delays. Completed 16 grade separations with 3 under construction and 8 in design phase.
Safety Upgrades
Implementing safety improvements at rail crossings includes installing quad gates and advanced warning systems. These upgrades reduce locomotive horn noise and create quieter zones for residential areas. Completed safety enhancements at 40 at-grade crossings through the Jump Start Program.
Mobility Improvements
Enhancing transportation networks through rail corridor improvements reduces vehicle delays and roadway congestion. These projects improve freight movement efficiency while supporting commuter rail operations. Benefits include reduced emissions from idling vehicles near rail crossings.
Environmental Mitigation
Implementing solutions that reduce air pollution by minimizing vehicle idling at rail crossings. These efforts contribute to improved air quality in one of the nation's worst air basins. Projects facilitate quieter operations that positively impact residential property values.
Public Outreach
Maintaining transparent communication through dedicated helplines, public meetings, and accessible documentation. This service ensures community involvement in project planning and implementation. Provides multiple channels for public records requests and reporting concerns.
