North Lathrop station

North Lathrop is a future Altamont Corridor Express station in Lathrop, California – the second to be constructed in the city. Whereas the original Lathrop/Manteca station was sited as a compromise to draw commuters from both cities, this station is located closer to residential areas. North Lathrop is designed as a transfer station to allow passengers from San Joaquin Valley shuttle trains to transfer to services bound for San Jose.[2] It is expected to open to revenue service in 2023 as part of the first phase of ACE's expansion to Merced.[3][4] The station is also planned to serve as the first phase northern terminus of Valley Link, a project by the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority to build a rail connection to Bay Area Rapid Transit's Dublin/Pleasanton station.[5]
