    Executive Director

    Stacey Mortensen has worked since 1991 in transportation engineering and passenger rail service. She was the founding executive director for the start-up of the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) Rail Service which began in 1998. The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission owns, operates and is the policy-making body for ACE service.

    Stacey and her team also manage the San Joaquin Intercity Amtrak Service which runs from Bakersfield to Sacramento and Oakland. This has helped consolidate and coordinate rail planning and operations in northern California.

    The valley rail programs were given a big boost through SB1 and now a $1-billion expansion program is underway to add significant new service by 2023 and 2026 and connect to the high-speed rail station in Merced.

    In her spare time in the middle of the night, Stacey trains for the worldwide Crossfit Games in the master’s category.
