Last month I wrote and spoke on lack of printed schedules in bulletin boards and on trains at request of a friend. I checked for myself on a recent Caltrain trip between Millbrae and 22 St. and SF 4th St. For the most part, there are no schedules, however 4th St did have a schedule and related information in the center station kiosk, Millbrae had one board with schedule along with BART information on southbound platform (at south end stairs/escalator) and one on the upstairs main concourse. The rest of the boards only had the notice that schedules are subject to periodic changes due to the pandemic and to check caltrain.com or call the Caltrain information number. The boards at 23rd St. only had the periodic changes notice and no schedules as did some other stations I had observed. Thank-You, Jeff Carter Page 1 of 10 JPB CAC Meeting Minutes March17, 2021 Roland Lebrun, San Jose Dear Caltrain CAC Secretary, Further to the staff presentation to the CAC later today (https://www.caltrain.com/Assets/__Agendas+and+Minutes/JPB/CAC/Presentations/20 18/2021-03-17+JPB+CAC+Presentation+8.pdf), please forward the following information to the Caltrain CAC and members of staff. https://www.welovecycling.com/wide/2017/03/13/three-electronic-devices-help-track- stolennava-bike/ Three Electronic Devices to Help You Track Down a Stolen Bike - We Love Cycling magazine www.welovecycling.com Thank you Roland Lebrun CC Caltrain Board SFCTA CAC VTA CAC Caltrain BAC VTA BPAC PUBLIC COMMENT Jeff Carter, Millbrae, via Zoom Q&A, thanked Caltrain for the discounting the monthly pass by twenty percent and hopes it becomes permanent. He then suggested Caltrain to consider the unfairness of the current zone system and to implement distance based fares along with a discounted multi-ride ticket, such as a fifteen-ride or a twenty-ride which would benefit semi-regular riders that ride one or two days a week. Drew, via Zoom Q&A, suggested the Zoom link on the Citizen’s Advisory Committee Agenda include the passcode for easier access to attend these monthly meetings remotely. Roland Lebrun, San Jose, via Zoom Q&A, stated that the second Public Comment via email was his and referred to Agenda Item number eight. He mentioned that he was surprised that the presentation did not mention RFID. He suggested to Google “stolen bike, RFID” prior to the presentation. He stated that the results will show how owners are notified when their bike has been stolen and how the community will be able to track the bike and location for recovery. CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT Chair Brian Shaw shared that on Friday March 19th, 2021 at 1:00 pm, will be the start of Caltrain’s governance deliberations and discussions that were required as part of approval of measure RR. He stated that the live stream Zoom link can be found on the Caltrain website under meetings and will be available to listen or watch at a later time.

    NEWS May 7, 2019 Media Contact: Dan Lieberman, 650-508-6385 SamTrans and Caltrain Encourage Cycling on Bike to Work Day This Thursday, May 9, Bay Area bicyclists will participate by the thousands in the 25th Annual Bike to Work Day, an annual event that encourages commuters to choose bicycles over cars for their daily commute. SamTrans buses can carry two bikes on racks at the front of each bus, and two additional bikes are allowed inside the bus, depending on passenger loads. Some things to know: only single-rider, two-wheel bicycles are permitted. There is no age limit for riders using the bike racks or bringing bikes on board the bus. However, riders must be able to load and unload their bikes without help from the operator. On Caltrain, every train is equipped with at least two bike cars. Due to the popularity of the onboard bike program, capacity for bicyclists can be a challenge. Cyclists are encouraged to choose local trains with lighter ridership to ensure they are able to board if they want to test out biking to work for the first time. Some express and limited stop trains are already operating at or near capacity for onboard bikes. Each weekday approximately 6,000 bicyclists take a bike on the train, more than any other rail service in the country. While biking and taking public transit can work well together for first- and last-mile connections, as well as getting people out of their cars and off freeways, onboard capacity may be at its limit on Bike to Work Day.

  • Caltrain TIRCP Application Jan
    PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY APPLICATION FOR 2018 TRANSIT AND INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL PROGRAM FUNDS PROJECT NARRATIVE A. Project Title Page Project Title: Peninsula Corridor Electrification Expansion Project The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Expansion Project (EEP) includes a series of incremental investments in the 51-mile Caltrain Corridor between the 4th and King Station (San Francisco) and the Tamien Station (San Jose). These investments are focused on expanding and fully converting Caltrain’s mainline diesel fleet to electric trains. This investment builds on and leverages the existing Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) and supports the goals of the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP), providing increased capacity and service flexibility, supporting state and interregional connectivity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through elimination of diesel service from the mainline Peninsula Corridor. In addition to providing immediate, direct benefits, the EEP also represents an incremental step within a larger program of development that will evolve the Peninsula Corridor in a way that supports the ridership, service levels, and connectivity goals contemplated in the draft 2018 State Rail Plan. The central component of Caltrain’s 2018 TIRCP application is the purchase of 96 additional Electric Multiple Units (EMU). This procurement will fully exercise all available options under Caltrain’s current contract with Stadler and will provide sufficient EMUs to fully electrify Caltrain’s mainline fleet, while also sustaining and expanding capacity to accommodate growing demand. In addition to requesting funds for the purchase of EMUs, Caltrain is also requesting a smaller amount funding for a series of associated projects that will equip the corridor to receive and operate a fully electrified fleet in a way that allows the railroad to reap the maximum benefit from its investments.

  • Chapter 3: Environmental Setting and Consequences
    CHAPTER 3: ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND CONSEQUENCES CHAPTER 3: ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND CONSEQUENCES This chapter presents information on the environmental setting in the project area as well as the environmental consequences of the No-Electrification and Electrification Program Alternatives. Environmental issue categories are organized in alphabetical order, consistent with the CEQA checklist presented in Appendix A. The project study area encompasses the geographic area potentially most affected by the project. For most issues involving physical effects this is the project “footprint,” or the area that would be disturbed for or replaced by the new project facilities. This area focuses on the Caltrain corridor from the San Francisco Fourth and King Station in the City and County of San Francisco to the Gilroy Station in downtown Gilroy in Santa Clara County and also includes the various locations proposed for traction power facilities and power connections. Air quality effects may be felt over a wider area. 3.1 AESTHETICS 3.1.1 VISUAL OR AESTHETIC SETTING The visual or aesthetic environment in the Caltrain corridor is described to establish the baseline against which to compare changes resulting from construction of project facilities and the demolition or alteration of existing structures. This discussion focuses on representative locations along the railroad corridor, including existing stations (both modern and historic), tunnel portals, railroad overpasses, locations of the proposed traction power facilities and other areas where the Electrification Program would physically change above-ground features, affecting the visual appearance of the area and views enjoyed by area residents and users. For purposes of this analysis, sensitive visual receptors are defined as corridor residents and business occupants, recreational users of parks and preserved natural areas, and students of schools in the vicinity of the proposed project.

  • 5.9 Land Use
    Silicon Valley Rapid Transit Corridor Final EIS 5.9 LAND USE 5.9.1 INTRODUCTION An adverse effect on land use would occur if the alternatives physically divide an established community; change land use in a manner that would be incompatible with surrounding land uses; and conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation (see Table 5.9-1). Residential and nonresidential relocations associated with implementing the alternatives are discussed in Section 5.12, Socioeconomics. The alternatives would affect surrounding land use in a variety of ways, both during construction and operational phases (see Chapter 6, Construction, for discussion of effects from construction). Effects on land use include the physical effects of the ROW and station facilities, as well as ancillary facilities such as station entrances, ventilation shafts, electrical substations, park-and-ride lots, and yard and shops facilities. Two proposed park-and-ride lots are located outside of the BEP and SVRTP alternative alignments; the Downtown Sunnyvale Station park-and-ride lot and the Evelyn LRT Station park-and-ride lot. These two parcels are existing parking lots within the cities of Sunnyvale and Mountain View. Their current and proposed future uses are consistent with the applicable planning and zoning designations. The proposed Downtown Sunnyvale Station park-and-ride lot is designated in the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) as retail specialty grocery store and district parking. The proposed Evelyn LRT Station park-and-ride lot is designated in the Mountain View Zoning Ordinance as general industrial, including required parking. 5.9.2 METHODOLOGY The land use analysis for the No Build, BEP, and SVRTP alternatives focuses on four primary components: the alignment, the proposed station areas, the support facilities required for operation of the line, and the yard and shops options.

  • Santa Clara Station Pedestrian Crossing Study
    Final Report Santa Clara Station Pedestrian Crossing Study Prepared for Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Prepared by June 8, 2007 Final Report SANTA CLARA STATION PEDESTRIAN CROSSING STUDY PURPOSE OF REPORT The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has requested an analysis of the pros and cons of a potential temporary pedestrian grade crossing of Union Pacific Railroad (UP) tracks at the Santa Clara Caltrain Station. The station is located south of Benton Road. Access to the two Caltrain tracks adjacent to the station is from the west (geographic south). The UP tracks run parallel to and to the east of the Caltrain tracks. The Santa Clara Station is one of three stations in Santa Clara County where pedestrian access to trains is only from one side of the station1. Caltrain is designing a major capital project at the station jointly funded by Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) and the Caltrain Joint Powers Board (JPB) that will improve train operations. This project will include a pedestrian tunnel under the Caltrain tracks to a planned “island” center passenger platform. The area of the new platform appears in Figure 1. As planned and funded, the Caltrain tunnel will not extend all the way to the eastside of the UP tracks. Rather, the tunnel will serve as access for the island platform from the Santa Clara station platform only. Construction of the tunnel is scheduled for completion within two years. A potential temporary crossing of the UP tracks would provide interim access to the planned center island platform, to be located between the Caltrain and UP tracks, from the east side of the UP tracks.
