The Government of São Paulo, through the State Secretariat for Partnerships and Investments (SPI), is moving forward with the largest package of rail works contracted in the state in recent decades. As a direct result of the concessions structured and auctioned between 2024 and 2025, the package formed by the North Axis of the Intercity Train (TIC) and the Alto Tietê Lot totals R$ 28.5 billion in investments already underway, establishing a new level of integration between the capital, the Alto Tietê region, Jundiaí, and Campinas.
Auctioned in 2024, the North Axis of the Intercity Train is one of the state’s main bets for reorganizing regional mobility. The project calls for the complete modernization of Line 7–Rubi, as well as the implementation of the São Paulo–Campinas express service and the Intermetropolitan Train (TIM). Stretching 101 km, the rail corridor is expected to reduce travel time between the two largest cities in São Paulo state to 64 minutes, integrating three metropolitan regions and laying the operational foundation for the country’s first medium-distance train. The works include interventions on permanent way, systems, stations, rolling stock, and freight segregation.
The Alto Tietê Lot, auctioned in 2025, will mobilize R$ 14.3 billion to expand and modernize Lines 11–Coral, 12–Safira, and 13–Jade. The program includes the construction of eight new stations, upgrades to 27 existing stations, and the installation of 22.6 km of new tracks, enabling the extension of Line 11 to César de Souza, Line 12 to Suzano, and Line 13 to Gabriela Mistral and Bonsucesso. The improvements are expected to benefit more than 4.6 million residents and generate 2,500 jobs by mid-2026, with projected demand reaching 1.3 million passengers per day by 2040.
