The project also received the Judges' Special Award for use of color in small gardens. The Altamont Commuter Express will feature two-level passenger cars, similar to those used by the Los Angeles Metrolink. The Altamont Commuter Express, a much needed alternative for commuters to Hacienda and points beyond from Stockton and Tracy, is scheduled to debut in March, 1998. The commuter rail service will make two round trips daily on the 85-mile trek between Stockton and Silicon Valley. The new service is widely anticipated by residents and businesses throughout the region.
