Temporary Hillsdale Station Closure Virtual Town Hall
As San Mateo’s 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project progresses toward its goals to improve safety, and reduce traffic congestion and train horn noise, the Caltrain Hillsdale Station will temporarily close for up to six months starting in December 2019. This will allow Caltrain to continue to serve 63,000 daily passengers while the tracks transition from ground-level to elevated tracks; a east-west connection at 28th Avenue is created; and a new Hillsdale Station with updated amenities and landscaping is built. Caltrain is holding a virtual town hall to provide the most current information on the temporary closure.
July 31, 2019 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m
This event is entirely online.

Caltrain Fare Change Proposal Community Meeting
The Caltrain Board of Directors is considering changes to its fare structure in order to keep the system adequately funded and in a state of good repair.
Unlike most transit systems, Caltrain does not currently receive dedicated funding to support its operations. The cost of operating and maintaining the service has increased due to the challenge of accommodating changing ridership demand and maintaining an aging diesel system in a state of good repair.
