Caltrain’s electrification project was given an award by the Associated General Contractors of California (AGC of California) during its Installation & Awards Gala.
Caltrain received the Owner of the Year Award, while Caltrain contractor Balfour Beatty US received the award for a Heavy Civil Project with a budget over $100 Million and the Excellence in Partnering Award.
“Electrifying the Caltrain corridor was a challenging task that took the efforts of hundreds of people throughout our organization and those of our partners,” said Caltrain Executive Director Michelle Bouchard. “Today, that hard work is paying off for tens of thousands of commuters every day, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we were able to achieve together.”
The January event recognized award-winning construction projects and industry leaders from across the state, highlighting excellence in safety, collaboration, and the delivery of critical infrastructure that strengthens California’s communities.
“Projects like this don’t come together without strong partnerships,” said Peter Tateishi, chief executive officer of AGC of California. “Caltrain and Balfour Beatty US set a high bar for collaboration, safety, and execution to deliver critical infrastructure for our communities.”
Last year, Caltrain also received the 2025 Sustainability Award from Sustainable San Mateo County, the American Public Transit Association’s Commuter Rail Safety Gold Award and the Build America Highway & Transportation Renovation Award from the Associated General Contractors of America.
