The Anticipated Intercity Train Project Between São Paulo and São José dos Campos Advances to the Next Phase, with Contract Signing Expected in 2027. The Secretariat for Partnerships in Investments (SPI) Announced Last Friday (28) an Update on the Deadlines for the Main Railway Projects in the State of São Paulo, Which Include Strategic Connections with Important Cities in the Paulista Macrometropolis. If the Schedule is Followed, the New Railway Service Could Begin Operating by 2035.

The Intercity Train is Part of a Broad Plan to Modernize Transportation Infrastructure in São Paulo, Aiming to Reduce Travel Time Between the Capital and Strategic Cities Such as Campinas, Sorocaba, São José dos Campos, and Santos.

Currently, the TIC North Axis, which Connects São Paulo to Campinas, has Already Had its Contract Signed, While the West Axis, Heading to Sorocaba, is Expected to Advance in 2025. In the Case of the TIC East Axis, which Will Serve São José dos Campos, the Project is Still in the Study Phase to Define the Final Route, which May Vary Between 80 km and 130 km in Length. The Expectation is that the Journey Between the Capital and São José dos Campos Will Be Completed in Just 75 Minutes, Significantly Reducing Travel Time for Residents and Workers in the Region.

The Technical Studies of the TIC East Axis are Expected to be Completed by the Second Quarter of 2026, with the Bidding and Contract Signing Scheduled for the First Half of 2027. The Estimated Cost of the Project is R$ 10 Billion.

Infrastructure and Deadlines

The Intercity Train Between São Paulo and São José dos Campos Will Have a Route that May Vary Between 80 km and 130 km, with an Estimated Travel Time of 75 Minutes. The Exact Route is Still in the Study Phase, but it Will Connect the Capital of São Paulo to the City of Vale do Paraíba, Providing a Fast and Modern Alternative to Road Transportation.

The SPI Also Confirmed that the TIC South Axis, which Will Connect São Paulo to Santos, is Still Under Study. The Project, which Will Require an Investment of Approximately R$ 15 Billion, is Evaluating Different Route Options, which May Vary Between 80 km and 130 km, with an Estimated Travel Time of 90 Minutes. The Studies for this Axis are Expected to be Completed in 2026, with the Contract Signing Scheduled for the Second Half of 2027.

If the Construction Timeline of the TIC North Axis, which Connects São Paulo to Campinas, is Used as a Reference, it is Possible that the TICs for São José dos Campos and Santos Also Become Operational by 2035. However, the Final Timelines Will Depend on the Route Definitions and the Technical Analyses Still Underway.

Impacts for São José dos Campos

The Arrival of the Intercity Train in São José dos Campos Represents a Significant Advance in Regional Mobility. The Project Will Offer an Efficient and Sustainable Alternative to Road Transportation, which is Currently the Main Option for Those Needing to Travel to the Capital of São Paulo.

In Addition to Improving the Quality of Life for Those Working in São Paulo, the Initiative May Boost the Local Economy, Stimulate New Businesses, and Increase Real Estate Value Near Future Train Stations.

What to Expect from the Next Steps?

With the Deadlines Set, the Challenge Now is to Ensure that All Stages are Completed Within the Schedule. The Conclusion of Technical Studies and the Definition of the Route are Fundamental for the Success of the Project.

The Population of São José dos Campos and the Region Follows with Anticipation the Progress of this Major Investment in Mobility. If the Deadlines are Respected, the Intercity Train Could Transform the Travel Between São Paulo and the Vale do Paraíba, Bringing More Speed, Comfort, and Quality of Life to Thousands of Passengers Every Day.
