Service aims to improve mobility options and ease freeway congestion in San Mateo County and launch as a pilot in mid-2019.
The new 2018 models will join 14 other MCI Commuter Coaches the agency purchased in 2014 and 2015.
The proposed service is expected to cut the travel time down to 20 minutes, which is half the current time it takes to get to the aiport.
Kevin Quinn, who has been the MTA’s director of planning and programming, was named as acting administrator, replacing Paul Comfort.
Under the terms of the contract, will be responsible for operating and maintaining local fixed- and express-route transit services, including into downtown Los Angeles.
Funding for the expanded service pilot came from a grant received from the Michigan Department of Transportation through the Job-Access Reverse Commuter program to increase connectivity for low-income service areas and expand commuting options.
Fresno State students and staff can ride FAX and other transportation services free with their university ID.
Improvements include two additional peak Sounder south line round trip trains and 15,000 additional annual platform hours for ST Express bus service to meet growing demand and deliver voter-approved projects.
Following the 2016 openings of the University Link and Angle Lake light rail extensions, Link ridership jumped 69.3%, while Sounder commuter service increased by 5.7% and ST Express grew 2.7%.
From July 22 to August 14, the Reisterstown Plaza, Rogers Avenue and West Cold Spring Metro Subway stations will be completely closed for maintenance of critical components of the rail system.
