Caltrain Cheered by Newsom Budget

 

Caltrain supports the expanded investment in rail transportation in Governor Newsom’s recently announced budget.

With a focus on job creation, increasing connectivity, and protecting our climate, this budget calls for significant investments in transportation that will help Caltrain deliver on the 2040 Service Vision adopted in 2019.

“It’s wonderful to see this level of commitment for rail from the Governor” said Caltrain Board Chair Dev Davis. “With Sacramento’s help, Caltrain will be able to build on the significant investment made in Caltrain Electrification and deliver better service for everyone who calls the Bay Area home”
