**********************************************************************
The Return of the Sixth Car
**********************************************************************
Notice a little more room on ACE #03 and ACE #04? The Altamont
Commuter Express has added a sixth car to the westbound #03 and the
eastbound #04 train set. The sixth car on the #04 is a temporary move
due to layover issues at the San Jose Diridon Station. Beginning
November 6, the sixth car will be moved to the eastbound #06 train
set.

MTC to Survey Passengers Onboard ACE
**********************************************************************
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in partnership with
ACE, will be conducting a survey to understand better who takes public
transportation in the area and to better serve riders. The survey
will only take a few moments to complete and participants will be
selected at random. MTC will not be collecting information about
personal identity, and the data collected will be anonymous and
analyzed and reported in aggregate.

MTC will be conducting the passenger survey on November 14, 2006, and
it is unclear at this time which trains will be involved.

Thank you for your understanding and support.



**********************************************************************
University of Phoenix Holds Seminar Onboard
**********************************************************************
The Altamont Commuter Express is pleased to welcome University of
Phoenix onboard the train for a follow-up to the successful seminar
held last month. This subsequent seminar, Cyber Crime and the
Organization, will be offered on November 16 onboard ACE #04 in the
first car.

This seminar, taught by distinguished University of Phoenix professor
Tim Woods, will be geared toward organizational security management,
espionage, and Sarbanes-Oxley. Light refreshments will be served, and
the seminars are open to the public.

Stay Informed with the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission
**********************************************************************
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission Board of Directors meets
regularly to discuss issues and create policy for the Altamont
Commuter Express. Board meetings are held on the first Thursday of
every month. Though the meetings are open to the public, and everyone
is invited and encouraged to attend, some may find it more convenient
to view meeting agendas and minutes online.

Agendas for the next board meeting and minutes from the last board
meeting are always available on the ACE website beginning one week
prior to each meeting. Make sure to visit our website on a regular
basis to ensure that you keep up with what is happening with the
agency.
