    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.

  • Caltrain Rapid Rail Study Implementation Plan
    Caltrain Rapid Rail Study Implementation Plan Summary In late 1997 the JPB began work on the Caltrain Rapid Rail Study. The study's purpose was to develop a strategic plan for Caltrain capital improvements between 2000 and 2010. The Rapid Rail Study evaluated the railroad's existing facilities and major expansion projects proposed over the years. The objective was to consider all the potential capital improvements in a single plan. Following this analysis, the Rapid Rail Study prioritized specific improvement programs using goals and objectives from Caltrain's Strategic Plan. The Draft Rapid Rail Study was released to the public on October 1, 1998. Between October 1998 and February 1999 the JPB received over 200 written comments and many oral comments at meetings held to discuss the study and at regular JPB meetings. These comments were used to revise the draft study's recommendations. The revised recommendations were adopted by the JPB at the __ 1999 meeting and are summarized in this document. This Implementation Plan will serve as the final study report. The draft study, Chapter 16 on the Caltrain Downtown San Francisco Extension Project status, and the response to comments document will serve as appendices to the report. 1. Implementation Process The purpose ofthe Caltrain Rapid Rail Study was to set forth a long-term strategic plan for Caltrain physical investments. The distinction between a strategic plan, such as the Rapid Rail Study, and a programming document, such as the annual capital improvement program, is critical to fully understand the implementation process. The Rapid Rail Study was designed to identify an overall direction for capital improvements based on Caltrain's Strategic Plan (which considered all aspects ofCaltrain service).
