    JPB Board of Directors Meeting of June 4, 2020 Correspondence as of May 21, 2020 # Subject 1 Excessive Idling at San Francisco Caltrain Station 2 Diridon Cooperative Agreement 3 Caltrain Sales Tax 4 BATWG Newsletter – May 2020 5 SSF Virtual Town Hall From: Chad Hedstrom <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 18, 2020 1:51 AM To: Public Comment <[email protected]>; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Excessive Idling at San Francisco Caltrain station Observed the 912 San Bruno and 923 Baby Bullet, as well as the 913 (THREE (3) train engines) fast idling (very loudly) at the Caltrain station at 4th and King. I walked the entire perimeter of the yard, was not able to determine that any work was being done on any of the three engines. Last train to leave the station was 9:37pm on Sunday night, was last observed at 1:45am Monday morning, still idling. As I am writing this at nearly 2am all three trains continue to idle in an empty yard, resonating for blocks in every direction. 1. Why are these trains idling more than 60 minutes before departure? 2. Why are these trains not using Wayside power? 3. If wayside power is not available, when will wayside power be restored to San Francisco Station? I would ask that trains continue to use wayside power! Several thousand people are directly impacted by the noise. Caltrain has committed to using wayside power when at the station to reduce idling. Now more than ever citizens of San Francisco are staying at home and having to endure excessive idling not just at night, but during the day as well.

  • Altamont Corridor Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor Altamontaltamont Corridor Corridor Vision: Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor
    Altamont Corridor Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor AltamontAltamont Corridor Corridor Vision: Vision Universal Infrastructure, Universal Corridor What is the Altamont Corridor Vision? The Altamont Corridor that connects the San Joaquin Valley to the Bay Area is one of the most heavily traveled, most congested, and fastest growing corridors in the Northern California megaregion. The Bay Area Council estimates that congestion will increase an additional 75% between 2016 and 2040. To achieve state and regional environmental and economic development goals, a robust alternative is needed to provide a sustainable / reliable travel choice and greater connectivity. The Altamont Corridor Vision is a long-term vision to establish a universal rail corridor connecting the San Joaquin Valley and the Tri-Valley to San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and the Peninsula. This Vision complements other similar investments being planned for Caltrain, which is in the process of electrifying its corridor and rolling stock; Capitol Corridor, which is moving its operations to the Coast Subdivision as it improves its service frequency and separates freight from passenger service; a new Transbay Crossing, which would allow for passenger trains to flow from Oakland to San Francisco; the Dumbarton Rail Crossing, which is being studied to be brought back into service; and Valley Rail, which will connect Merced and Sacramento. The Vision also complements and connects with High- Speed Rail (HSR), and would enable a one-seat ride from the initial operating segment in the San Joaquin Valley throughout the Northern California Megaregion. One-Hour One-Seat One Shared Travel Time Ride Corridor Shared facilities, Oakland, Stockton, Express service, integrated Peninsula, Modesto modern rolling ticketing, San Jose stock timed connections • The limited stop (two intermediate stops) travel time between Stockton and San Jose is estimated to be 60 minutes.

  • SAMTRANS CORRESPONDENCE As of 12-11-2020
    SAMTRANS CORRESPONDENCE as of 12-11-2020 December 8, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Bay Area transit systems continue to struggle in the face of dramatically reduced ridership and revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenge was already the most significant crisis in the history of public transportation, and now it has persisted far longer than any of us would have predicted. Since the beginning, our workers have been on the front lines, doing their jobs as essential workers, responsible for providing other front line workers with a way to safely travel to and from essential jobs. Now that the availability of a vaccine is on the horizon, we are proud to echo the attached call from the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). Specifically, we urge you to work to ensure that transit, paratransit, and school transportation workers are prioritized along with other essential workers to receive the vaccine following the critical need to vaccinate the State’s healthcare workers. Even with reduced ridership, an average of 8 million monthly riders continue to depend on Bay Area transit services. These riders are the healthcare workers, grocery clerks, caregivers, emergency services personnel and others doing the critical work that has kept California functioning during the pandemic. They cannot continue to do so without access to reliable public transportation, and are therefore dependent on the health of the transit workers that serve them every day. Our agencies have worked hard to ensure the public health of riders and transit workers during this crisis.

  • Samtrans Fast Facts
    SamTrans Fast Facts Administration The San Mateo County Transit District is the administrative body for the principal public transit and transportation pro- grams in San Mateo County, SamTrans bus service including Redi-Wheels and RediCoast paratransit service, Caltrain commuter rail and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority. Caltrain and the TA have contracted with the District to serve as their managing agency, under the direction of their independent board of directors. The Board of Directors consists of nine members from various leadership positions in the community with the following composition: two members from the county Board of Supervisors; one transportation expert appointed by the Board of Supervisors; three city councilpersons, appointed by the City Selection Committee; and three public members, one of whom must reside on the coastside, appointed by the above six members. SamTrans Strategic Plan In December 2014, SamTrans approved its five-year Strategic Plan, a blueprint that will guide the policy decisions of the bus agency from 2015 to 2019. The plan focuses on five main goals: increasing bus ridership by 15 percent, growing passenger fare revenue by 20 percent, reducing annual debt service by $1.5 million, improving organizational perfor- mance and managing workforce change. SamTrans has already successfully pursued several of those goals. Due in large part to the changes implemented as a result of the SamTrans Service Plan—the most extensive reworking of bus operations along the Peninsula in a genera- tion—bus ridership is stabilizing, reversing years of stagnant growth. The bus agency also approved changes to its fare policy, aimed at restoring the agency’s fiscal health and achieving the goal of 20 percent fare revenue growth.
