Division of Rail and Mass Transportation (DRMT)

The vision of the Caltrans’ Division of Rail and Mass Transportation (DRMT) is to make public transportation a viable option for all. Our mission is to provide measurable improvements to California’s integrated and sustainable public transportation system.

In addition to providing capital funding and oversight, the DRMT serves as liaison for the following three Joint Power Authorities (JPAs) and their respective intercity passenger rail corridors:

• The LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency (LOSSAN Agency) for the Pacific Surfliner, connecting San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo
• The San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) for the San Joaquin, connecting Bakersfield and both Oakland and Sacramento, and
• The Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) for the Capitol Corridor connecting San Jose, Oakland, and Sacramento-Auburn.

These services offer travel to more than 130 destinations in California and parts of Nevada, carrying more than five million passengers annually and helping to improve the state’s air quality and reduce highway congestion and fuel consumption.
