Antioch Mayor Hernandez-Thorpe Finds Path Forward to Keep Antioch Amtrak Station Open



"After a great meeting with the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC), I'm happy to announce that the Authority and Commission have assured me that we are now on a path to keeping the Antioch Amtrak station open.


Although I am optimistic, we must continue to support keeping the station open. I want to thank SJJPA Chair Pat Hume and SJRRC Chair Nancy Young for visiting the Antioch station yesterday and meeting with city staff and me regarding this important matter. 


My office and city staff will develop a plan that I will present to the SJJPA on September 20, 2024, and to the City Council in early October."


-Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe, Mayor of Antioch
