Caltrain Receives Top Federal Award for Attracting Ridership

Federal Transit Administrator James S. Simpson presented the “Success in Enhancing Ridership Award” to Caltrain on Monday, March 12, for its nearly 23 percent ridership growth between June 2004 and June 2005.

The award was based not only on ridership growth numbers but also for having done so in a way that can be emulated by other transit systems around the nation.

Caltrain was among three awardees in the category of transit systems located in an area with a population of more than one million residents.
