The Mid Region Council of Governments is managing the popular New Mexico Rail Runner Express service on behalf of the State of New Mexico Department of Transportation.
At the New Mexico Rail Runner Express website, you can see the train schedule, buy tickets online, read the latest news about the service, learn how to take your bike on the train, and more.
By July of 2007, the NM Rail Runner Served Over 500,000 Passengers
The commuter service, first launched in 2006, has become increasingly popular for commuters from Belen to Sandoval County, and is spurring growth (see Station Area Development) for those commuters who wish to live near public transportation. Service to Santa Fe will be available by December of 2008.
The New Mexico Rail Runner Express will help meet transportation needs of our rapidly growing metropolitan area. Traffic, and the time it takes you to drive to your destination, is projected to increase dramatically over the next 20 years. In fact in 2025, peak hour travel between Belen and Albuquerque is estimated to take almost an hour-and-a-half!
In addition, the Rail Runner is reliable - no more running behind schedule because you are stuck in traffic due to an accident. The Rail Runner is also convenient – just think about how much time per week you spend driving to work.
And let’s not forget saving money. According to AAA, the commute between Belen and Albuquerque costs automobile commuters about $10,000 annually. Rail Runner can slash these costs considerably.
