Caltrain Seeks Community Volunteers for Advisory Committee

Caltrain is soliciting applicants to fill vacancies on its Citizens Advisory Committee. The CAC is comprised of nine volunteer members, who serve in an advisory capacity to the board of directors, providing input on the needs of current and potential rail customers.

Applicants must be residents of San Francisco, San Mateo or Santa Clara counties, and applications are due by 5 p.m., Tuesday, May 15. The CAC meets the third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. at Caltrain’s headquarters in San Carlos, just one block from the San Carlos Caltrain Station. All meetings are open to the public.

Caltrain operates 96 commuter trains each weekday between San Francisco and San Jose, with commute hour service to Gilroy, and hourly weekend service between San Jose and San Francisco. Last year Caltrain carried more than 10 million riders, and currently it carries an average weekday ridership of nearly 35,000 trips.

Interested persons can download an application from the Caltrain Web site HERE, or contact the assistant board secretary at 650-508-6223.
