Important Update for Wheels Shuttle 54 to and from Bart
**********************************************************************
Effective 07/12/07, BART will be leaving the Pleasanton BART Station
about 2 minutes earlier than posted. The trains coming back at night
will be running 5-7 minutes late.

This is due to the fact that they will be running on single track from
Pleasanton to the new BART Station just past Pleasanton. We will do
everything possible to insure that everyone makes their connections.
According to BART, these new times will be on the new BART schedules
in January. This will be in effect until late 2009 until the new
station is complete.

ACE Security Reminders/Updates:
**********************************************************************
SAFETY DRILLS:

ACE continually works with the Office of Homeland Security to obtain
funding for security projects and staff training.  Some of the
training includes emergency drills.  ACE is hosting a drill in October
and participating in a statewide drill this November.  The October
drill will include several Alameda County agencies.  These exercises
test employees and response plans.  Based on the results,
modifications are made to enhance the effectiveness of plans and staff
response.  Updates will be provided at a later date.

SECURITY UPDATE:

A representative from the Transportation Security Administration
visited with staff on July 26th, 2007 to go over paperwork requesting
funds for security enhancements.  While visiting, the TSA
representative had an opportunity to stop at the Livermore station
prior to meeting at the Stockton station.  Several topics were
discussed including the need for new/upgraded security cameras.  ACE’s
grant application - as well as other available resources - for
security enhancements were also covered.  More details will follow.


As a reminder, please do not leave vehicles in ACE parking lots for
more that 48 hours.  If you need to park more than 48 hours, notify
ACE with a description of the vehicle.

As always, if you see something, say something.  Report all unattended
bags and/or suspicious behavior or persons to the train crew or
station agent.

Thanks for your Cooperation!

I welcome your Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions,

CAMERA UPDATE:

A representative from Homeland Security is meeting with me on July
26th, 2007 to go over paperwork requesting funds for a new station
security camera system.  The goal of this meeting is to review
paperwork for grant requests prior to our deadline and to show the ACE
system to our partners at Homeland Security.

GREAT AMERICA PARKING CITATIONS:

I want to thank all of those who contacted me regarding parking
citations that were received at Great America the week of June 11th.
As I’d mentioned before, all of the citation information has been
forwarded to Santa Clara Police.  When a parking cite is dismissed,
Santa Clara PD does so by sending a request via fax directly to the
parking vendor.  It’s done automatically and no notice is sent to the
passengers.  Santa Clara PD keeps a copy of the dismissal in the event
the passenger goes to register their vehicle and the violation is
still listed.  To date they haven’t had this occur.

As a reminder, please do not leave vehicles in ACE parking lots for
more that 48 hours.  If you need to park more than 48 hours, notify
ACE with a description of the vehicle.

Wireless Internet Update
**********************************************************************
We are making progress on the Wi-Fi installation. The system has been
available on trains 3 and 6 as our vendors continue to configure and
troubleshoot the system. This week a gateway was installed on trains 7
& 2 and we anticipate having gateways installed on the remaining
consists by next week. We have some volunteers that are riding the
train and providing immediate feedback to our vendors when issues
arise. We are still trying to evaluate bandwidth needs for the entire
service.

We understand the importance of this service to our passengers and
will continue to work hard on making Wi-Fi fully operational. During
the final installation phases there might be some interruption as our
vendors work on different train sets.

Thank you for your understanding and patient as we work to complete
this project.




**********************************************************************
Sign Up for ACE's Alert Systems
**********************************************************************
Up-to-the-minute alerts are available for passengers when train delays
are expected.  Sign up for ACE's alert systems and be kept "in the
loop" when circumstances force inevitable delays.  The Altamont
Commuter Express has two alert systems in place.

The ACE Email Alert will be sent via email when delays of 15 minutes
or longer are anticipated.  The ACE Email Alert system will only work
on devices that will receive emails.

The ACE Call Alert will be dispatched via telephone when delays of 30
minutes or longer are anticipated.  The ACE Call Alert system will be
initiated with the onset of a major event, such as derailments, major
weather disruptions, fires, and other delays.

The ACE Operations Center reminds passengers that these are estimated
delays only based on the current information available.

To sign up for one or both of these lists, please click on the link
below in order to be directed to the ACE Alerts sign-up page at the
ACE website.  All information used to sign-up are treated
confidentially and will not be used for any other purpose than ACE
Alerts.

GeoFocus Update
**********************************************************************
You might have heard a strange voice on the train making various
announcements. This is part of our automated train tracking and
information system. The system uses GPS technology to track and report
the status of our trains. This service was placed in operation last
week. Currently the signs at Stockton are functional. At Lathrop and
Tracy, we are waiting to install a component which should be completed
by next week. The signs at San Jose, Great America and Fremont will
also display ACE train information. (Great America is temporarily out
of service as the controller is being repaired).

Besides the automated train and station announcements ACE has the
ability to send relevant operational information to any of the signs.
This will be used to better explain train delays and provide
information to the stations.

Currently we are working to install hardware that will provide the
correct volume on board the trains.

ACE welcomes your comments and feedback on the system. Please send
them to   comments@...

Locomotive Failure on July 3, 2007
**********************************************************************
On Tuesday morning July 3, 2007 the locomotive on ACE Train #01
experienced a mechanical failure in the Altamont Pass area when
amperage to the traction motors dropped.  This was a result of
possible circuit board failure affecting the on-board locomotive
computer system.  This dropped amperage would not provide enough power
for the single locomotive to haul 5 coaches over the grades on the
route ahead.

As a result, ACE trains #01 and #03 were coupled together and operated
as one train on ACE train #03’s schedule. The combined train arrived
in San Jose roughly 30 minutes late.

An additional locomotive was forwarded to San Jose for the return
evening commute enabling all trains (ACE #04, #06, and #08) to operate
as scheduled.

We would like to thank all riders for the patience on Tuesday. We
apologize for the inconvenience this event may have caused you.

The Alameda County Fair, Parking - UPDATE
**********************************************************************
The Alameda County Fair is upon us and with it, fun and frenzy.  While
we encourage you to participate in the fair in Pleasanton, ACE is
fully aware of the parking challenges that may be presented at the
Pleasanton ACE Station.

The fair will be in full swing starting Friday, June 22, and
continuing on through July 8.  During that time, parking at the
Pleasanton ACE Station may be unusually challenging.  ACE
administration is currently involved in some negotiations which they
hope will alleviate some of the parking woes.  Please be patient as we
work to create some alternatives to the fairground parking lot
challenges.

UPDATE - June 28, 2007 - ACE will be running a shuttle at the
Pleasanton Fair to help with overflow parking. If you find that
parking is a challenge during the fair, you may consider this as
another option until the end of the fair.  We are using bus #53
everyday.  The parking lot is located on Valley Road at gate #12.  We
will run a bus in the morning to the train at 6:35 and 7:40 AM.  In
the afternoon, the bus returns from the train at 4:40, 5:40, and 6:40
PM.  Any questions, please call customer service at 1-800-411-RAIL.





**********************************************************************
Parking at the Great America Station
**********************************************************************
A 200-space Park & Ride lot is available free-of-charge to patrons
using the Santa Clara/Great America Amtrak Station.  Located at the
south end of Stars and Stripes Drive, this Park & Ride lot allows
passengers to park overnight and on weekends for up to 72 hours.
On-street parking is still available along Stars and Stripes Drive
east of Centennial Boulevard from 6 am - 11 pm only; however, starting
July 1, 2007 overnight on-street parking is no longer permitted.  Cars
violating this policy are subject to fines by the City of Santa Clara.





**********************************************************************
New ACE Timetable Effective July 2, 2007 - Simple Changes
**********************************************************************
A new timetable has been printed and was available on July 2, 2007.

One change reflected in the new July 2, 2007 timetable will affect the
ACE/Amtrak Bus #3910.  The #3910 bus will no longer serve the Fremont
bus stop at Mission Boulevard and I-680.  It will instead be routed to
the ACE/Amtrak Fremont Centerville Depot where all ACE trains
currently stop.  The result, ACE will serve only one stop in Fremont
instead of two.

Secondly, to accomplish this change, the bus will be scheduled to
depart San Jose at 6:30 pm, and depart Santa Clara and Great America
stations 10 minutes earlier than the current times.  The bus will
depart the Fremont/Centerville train depot at 7:20 pm. All remaining
down line bus schedule times will remain in effect as before.

Timetables will be available on board trains and through ACE ticket
locations.

Overcrowding on June 26, 2007
**********************************************************************
To our valued riders on ACE Train #05 June 26, 2007, we apologize for
the crowded conditions on our ACE Train #05 this morning.  Plans were
in place to operate a 6 car train set to accommodate our school
groups, but mistakenly, a 5 car train set was dispatched.

We are sorry for the inconvenience you may have experienced.




**********************************************************************
ACE Security Reminders/Updates:
**********************************************************************
ACE continually works with the Office of Homeland Security to obtain
funding for security projects and Staff training.  In addition, ACE
Staff Steve Walker recently attended a Passenger Rail Security
Conference hosted by BNSF in Texas.  The goal of the Ft. Worth
conference was to bring as many passenger and freight rail partners
together to discuss safety and security issues and come up with
solutions that would benefit the rail industry as a whole.  Some of
the ideas generated will be implemented at ACE in the near future and
include working with our law enforcement partners to Safety and
Security drills.  Two drills will be held this year in September and
November testing system security and emergency response.  More details
to follow.

I want to thank all of those who contacted me regarding parking
citations that were received at Great America the week of June 11th.
I’ve forwarded all of the citation information to Santa Clara Police.
They’ve informed me that passengers will be notified when the
citations are reversed.  Santa Clara Police has also informed me full
parking enforcement will begin on July 1 at Great America.  Please do
not park in the marked areas between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM daily.

As a reminder, please do not leave vehicles in ACE parking lots for
more that 48 hours.  If you need to park more than 48 hours, notify
ACE with a description of the vehicle.

I welcome your Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions!

WiFi Testers Needed!
**********************************************************************
ACE administrators are calling on riders to help test the wireless
internet onboard the train.  Are you interested in being included in
that team?

As many of you know, ACE recently began asking passengers to attempt
the WiFi service onboard the trains.  ACE personnel have been told by
the contractors that service should be functional at this time, but
that it needs to be tested for performance.  In order to test this new
service, ACE must call upon the riders for assistance, and if you are
interested, please observe the following:

-The testing team must be made up of passengers who normally ride ACE
#03 and ACE #06.

-Members of the team must provide daily email updates to ACE
administration for a specified length of time.

-You must be willing to accept phone calls from ACE administration,
who may occasionally call to review the service with you.

-Finally, all members of the testing team must be patient and
understand that we are still in a testing mode.

This team will be critical for the success of the WiFi service, please
respond ASAP.

over the weekend in any ACE parking lots.

ACE is currently working with Lathrop Police on the recent burglaries
at the Lathrop-Manteca Station.  In addition, camera footage was
reviewed and forwarded to Lathrop Police for follow-up.  We’re working
with them on increased patrols as well as using ACE Staff to randomly
monitor the lot.  Other short-term solutions are being worked out at
this time.  Updates will be made as soon as they’re implemented.

We’re also working to secure funding through Homeland Security which
will be used to upgrade system security cameras.  More details to

ACE Wireless Internet Update
**********************************************************************
ACE and our vendors continue to test and configure the Wi-Fi system.
Recently we installed and programmed a "Gateway" to the network that
will help distribute the bandwidth.  Currently we are working with the
equipment that represents ACE trains #03 & #06 because these are our
most populated trains.

We welcome all users to attempt to log on to the system on a regular
basis. The Gateway requires a User ID and Password to allow access.


The generic user ID during this testing phase is ACE.
The password during the testing phase is USER.

When asked to logon simply enter the above information in both fields
to access the system.

Please remember the system is still being tested and configured.  We
would appreciate any feedback you might have as we work to get this
system operational.  Please e-mail any comments or suggestions to
comments@....

We will provide updates as the final phases of implementation are
completed.

Detailed Breakdown of ACE's On-Time Performance
**********************************************************************
For the month of April ACE ran 168 trains; 129 were on-time, 38 were
late, and 1 was annulled.  The on-time percentage was 77 percent.

The breakdown for the month was as follows:

Delayed 5 or less Minutes:   130
Delayed 6-10 Minutes: 	    19
Delayed 11-14 Minutes: 	   5
Delayed 15-19 Minutes: 	   1
Delayed 19 or more: 	     13

So far for the month of May as of the 8th, ACE has run 40 trains, not
counting the 8th.  30 Trains were on-time.  As such, ACE is running at
75 percent on-time.

Delayed 5 or less: 	       12
Delayed 6-10 Minutes: 	    7
Delayed 11-14 Minutes: 	   0
Delayed 15-19 Minutes: 	   1
Delayed over 19: 	       1

Again, we apologize for the delays - we are trying to eliminate them
with Union Pacific Representatives.  We are confident that together we
will minimize some of the delays soon.





**********************************************************************
Cabral Station Entryway Update
**********************************************************************
Plans are moving forward for a wonderful new entryway to the historic
Robert J. Cabral Station in Stockton.  As reported last fall, ACE
staff have been working with Opticos Design, Kimley-Horn Associates,
and Odyssey on the design for a new entryway to the station from
Aurora Street, through what is currently the site of Bockman and Woody
Electric.  ACE will be closing escrow soon on this property, with the
electric facility moving to a new location in Stockton.  Demolition of
current buildings on the property will take place in the summer to
make way for the new formal entryway, complete with additional staff
and visitor parking, landscaping, walkways, a central green, a
security kiosk, and a landmark clock tower.  Circulation will also be
improved, providing more convenient access for buses and cars
throughout the station area.

The City of Stockton’s Design Review Committee will review the
entryway plans for approval in mid-May, with construction expected in
the fall. For more information on the project, please contact Thomas
W. Reeves, Special Projects Coordinator, at 209-944-6242.




**********************************************************************

Upcoming School Groups Onboard ACE
**********************************************************************
On May 4, 2007 ACE has confirmed groups totaling 338 students going to
Great America.

In order to accommodate these groups and minimize the effect on our
regular riders, the following considerations will be made on that day:


ACE Train #05 must operate with a 6 car set, and the last 2 cars (5 &
6) will be identified for the groups.  The students will be getting on
in Stockton, Lathrop/Manteca, Tracy, and Fremont.

ACE Train #06 must also operate with a 6 car set.

Please extend a warm welcome to these students when you see them
onboard.

Important Announcement Regarding Commuter Cards and Company-Issued

**********************************************************************
If you purchase ACE tickets with a Commuter Card or company-issued

This is a temporary problem and ACE personnel will be working on a
resolution.

To purchase ACE tickets using Commuter Cards or company-issued credit
cards, please place your ticket orders online.

An announcement will be placed in the ACE Insider when this issue is
resolved.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please know that ACE
is doing all it can to resolve this issue in a timely manner.

Cabral Station Entryway Update
**********************************************************************
Plans are moving forward for a wonderful new entryway to the historic
Robert J. Cabral Station in Stockton.  As reported last fall, ACE
staff have been working with Opticos Design, Kimley-Horn Associates,
and Odyssey on the design for a new entryway to the station from
Aurora Street, through what is currently the site of Bockman and Woody
Electric.  ACE will be closing escrow soon on this property, with the
electric facility moving to a new location in Stockton.  Demolition of
current buildings on the property will take place in the summer to
make way for the new formal entryway, complete with additional staff
and visitor parking, landscaping, walkways, a central green, a
security kiosk, and a landmark clock tower.  Circulation will also be
improved, providing more convenient access for buses and cars
throughout the station area.

The City of Stockton’s Design Review Committee will review the
entryway plans for approval in mid-May, with construction expected in
the fall. For more information on the project, please contact Thomas
W. Reeves, Special Projects Coordinator, at 209-944-6242.

Spring Time is Group Time!
**********************************************************************
Now that we are well into spring, schools are making arrangements and
purchasing tickets to take class trips on ACE. Train travel is ideal
for school groups - large and small - to travel together economically
to destinations such as the Great America Theme Park, the Tech Museum,
and other destinations.  Rail travel on ACE is not only fun and safe,
it’s educational too, as virtually all students receive Operation
Lifesaver Training prior to their train trip.

We want to thank our year round regular and loyal riders in advance
for your patience as we accommodate greater numbers of passengers this
time of year.  If you know of a group or student class looking for a
travel alternative, get them in touch with our Group Representative
Laura Farley at Ph 209-944-6234. Better hurry - available space is
filling up fast!

**********************************************************************
Possible ACE Schedule Change - Feedback Needed
**********************************************************************
The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission is considering altering the
current schedule for a few ACE trains. Based upon its ongoing
parternship with Caltrans, the SJRRC has proposed a change in schedule
so that more commuters could utilize the train-to-train mode of
transportation.  In addition to the ease of using our train - with
this new schedule - to connect to Caltran, the SJRRC is acting upon
numerous inquiries from potential and existing passengers to add a
later P.M. commute option.  This new schedule would affect the current
midday train schedule and add an evening commute train.  All A.M.
commute-hour trains will remain the same.

The schedule below reflects the proposed schedule change.  Please
review it closely and email us with your feedback.  We REALLY need to
hear from our passengers before the Commission makes a decision on
this change.

The train that currently leaves Stockton at 9:30 A.M. would leave at
11:40 A.M., getting into San Jose at 1:50 P.M.

The train that currently leaves San Jose at 12:05 P.M. would be
elliminated.

The train that currently leaves San Jose at 3:35 P.M. would leave at
3:15 P.M., getting into Stockton at 5:25 P.M.

The train that currently leaves San Jose at 4:35 P.M. would remain the
same, getting into Stockton at 6:45 P.M.

The train that currently leaves San Jose at 5:35 P.M. would remain the
same, getting into Stockton at 7:45 P.M.

An additional train would be added and would leave San Jose at 6:40
P.M., getting into Stockton at 8:50 P.M.

Please email us below for your input.

Wi-Fi Update
**********************************************************************
Testing continues...

The new wifi service is still undergoing testing and patience is key
during this time period.

Currently the internet vendor is in the process of implementing an
assessment procedure to determine ACE's bandwidth needs.

Based on the assessment of our usage needs, a service contract will be
implemented with service being unveiled shortly thereafter.

Again, thanks for your patience.

Afternoon On-Time Performance Slips
**********************************************************************
The week of April 2, 2007 has seen a drop in on-time performance (OTP)
for ACE trains operating eastbound.  Month-to-date, the OTP is
approximately 67% with evening trains being affected by freight train
interference.  This week 16 Trains operated on time, with another 8
trains operating late into their destination.

As has been done in the past, top ranking Union Pacific Railroad
Officials are being briefed on dispatching decisions that adversely
affect ACE's on-time performance.   We anticipate corrective action on
the part of the Union Pacific Railroad to improve ACE train
performance.

Thank you for your continued support.

ACE's On-Time Performance Update
**********************************************************************
Last week - March 19th through the 23rd - ACE ran a total of 40
trains.  Of the 40 trains ACE ran, 33 were on time, for an on-time
performance of 82.5%.  7 trains for the week were late, accounting for
17.5%.

ACE has been diligent in discussing on time percentages with
representatives of the Union Pacific Railroad. UPRR took time to
visit with ACE and discuss issues involving the on-time percentage of
trains.  The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission will continue to
strive to improve the service levels expected by our customers.

Thank you for your support.

Upcoming School Groups Onboard ACE
**********************************************************************
On Wednesday, April 4th, ACE welcomes Tom Hawkins School from the
Tracy station en route to the San Jose Tech Museum.  They are boarding
ACE #05 and coming home from San Jose on ACE #04.

On April 20, a group of Turlock students are arriving via Amtrak in
Stockton and boarding ACE to Great America.  They are riding on the

Please extend a warm welcome to these students when you see them

**********************************************************************
For Many, ACE Only Part of Commute
**********************************************************************
Passengers who catch the ACE train in Stockton or Lathrop/Manteca
often add additional commute time before they even reach the ACE
stations.  Many riders drive to the stations from Valley Springs,
Modesto, Sonora, and other origination points throughout the valley.
Are you one of those riders?

Why not share the journey to your station with others? Recently,
there has been a growing interest amongst passengers in carpooling to
the ACE stations and we would like to help!  Please log onto the ACE
website and check out the Bulletin Board where you can read messages
and post new issues concerning ride-sharing.  Many times a group of
passengers will ride together to the station and share the cost -
saving everyone in the group money and stress.

Please utilize ACE's Carpool Bulletin Board for all your ride-sharing
needs.

**********************************************************************
Effective immediately, hair styling utensils that generate heat or

This new policy is for health and safety reasons, and will reduce - or
eliminate - the chance of fire, rider injuries, or annoyance of other

Watch Speeds in ACE Parking Lots
**********************************************************************
At the end of a long day at work, it is natural to want to race out of
the ACE parking lots to head for home. Remember, as you depart the
train and prepare to leave the lots, the speed limit within the
parking lots is 10 mph.  Please be considerate of all your fellow
commuters and take caution as you drive out of the parking lots.



**********************************************************************
It's Coming!

Did you ever think it would be possible for you to surf the web, free
of wires and free of cost, during your entire commute onboard the ACE
train? Well get ready - because it's coming...

Final - that's right, FINAL - preparations are underway for ACE's

then Railwave will be launched!

Sign Up for ACE's Alert Systems
**********************************************************************
Up-to-the-minute alerts are available for passengers when train delays
are expected.  Sign up for ACE's alert systems and be kept "in the
loop" when circumstances force inevitable delays.  The Altamont
Commuter Express has two alert systems in place.

The ACE Email Alert will be sent via email when delays of 15 minutes
or longer are anticipated.  The ACE Email Alert system will only work
on devices that will receive emails.

The ACE Call Alert will be dispatched via telephone when delays of 30
minutes or longer are anticipated.  The ACE Call Alert system will be
initiated with the onset of a major event, such as derailments, major
weather disruptions, fires, and other delays.

The ACE Operations Center reminds passengers that these are estimated
delays only based on the current information available.

To sign up for one or both of these lists, please click on the link
below in order to be directed to the ACE Alerts sign-up page at the
ACE website.  All information used to sign-up are treated
confidentially and will not be used for any other purpose than ACE
Alerts.

FEO's Get Makeover
**********************************************************************
Your onboard ACE train personnel are getting a new name!  Effective
January 1, 2007, the former title of FEO, or "Fare Enforcement
Officer," will be replaced with the new title of "Passenger Service
Representative."

Along with the new title, the responsibilities will be enhanced from
not only checking tickets and enforcing fare validation, but to
vigilance for safety onboard our trains, providing rider assistance
for general connections and destinations, and providing ticket sales
on designated trains (refer to ACE timetable).

Passenger Service Representatives will retain the authority to issue
"Fare/Quality of Life Violation Warnings" and Citations when necessary
to those individuals who have not validated their tickets or have not
followed ACE's onboard regulations.

We thank you for your continued cooperation and compliance.
