The test is to ensure the trains meet all clearance requirements to operate safely along the corridor.
Caltrain’s original board decision to raise the price of certain Clipper fare products was made in September 2019.
With funding from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, City of South San Francisco, and Federal Transit Administration, the $96.6 million project built a fully accessible station with a center-boarding platform, allowing riders to seamlessly move between platforms.
The program allows affordable housing developers to partner with transit agencies to seek funds for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide benefits to disadvantaged communities.
The policy requires VTA’s more than 2,000 employees and contractors to report their vaccination status by April 29, 2022.
The 51-mile Caltrain Electrification project will be the first 25KV OCS system on the west coast and will provide power to the new electric trains that will start arriving on the corridor in spring 2022.
The cost will require an additional $462 million over the initial estimate for the project, $129 million over the estimate made by the Federal Transit Administration earlier this year.
The trainsets were designed specifically for Caltrain by Stadler to meet the evolving needs of the industry, its workforce, and its riders while reducing carbon emissions.
The delay is due to a range of factors, including complications in the installation of signal systems, unforeseen conditions under Caltrain’s tracks, and the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted supply chains necessary to the project.
When his leave becomes official in April 2021, Deputy CEO/GM Carter Mau will become Acting CEO/GM and Caltrain’s Chief Officer of Rail Michelle Bouchard will serve as Acting Caltrain Executive Director.
