Great time with our friends Friends of Caltrain in Millbrae today! Great to improve transit service with electrification and that more BART + Caltrain trips will be a lot easier. Here's to more connection between the Peninsula and the East Bay!

Packed Caltrain this morning hopefully with many excited by electric service. Wifi crushed tho.

8,000 people is more than the typical weekday ridership at LA Union Station, the hub of Southern California's regional rail system. The people crave electric trains!

Thank you Gavin Newsom for making it faster, cheaper, and easier to build gold standard electric rail in California by signing #AB2503. The bill gets CA on track towards a cleaner transportation system!

Packed BART on a Saturday afternoon, but BART service is on the verge of having to get cut. Speak out to demand more funding for BART and all Bay Area transit agencies actionnetwork.org/petitions/bay-…

The latest turn in the VTA subway validates a common critique of US project delivery.

4. Only after securing ROD and funding do they realize: we’ve environmentally cleared a very expensive project that will be difficult to build, a challenge to operate and have lower utility to riders.

Happy to be heading north with the Caltrain wifi, free of "tunnel anxiety" (where connection gets spotty to unusable north of SSF)

Heh, Carlos Romero calls out the good new Caltrain wifi as helping him prepare for his meeting at the Association of Bay Area Governments.

THIS. CEQA isn't Planning. Plan first, then do environmental review.
