Summer has begun, bringing great weather to the Bay Area and plenty more passengers to our system. In fact, we set a pandemic-era record for ridership last month by serving more than 414,000 customers – an 80 percent increase compared to our winter low point in January. In June, we’ve seen two major events bring huge crowds to Caltrain to celebrate both Pride and the Warriors Parade. Thanks to Caltrain’s dedicated workers and robust service, we were able to ensure even fans in Gilroy could get up to the city and give Draymond a high five in person.
This month, Caltrain’s Centralized Equipment, Maintenance and Operations Facility (CEMOF) completed construction on new features to support electric trains. Our Board also adopted its budget for the new Fiscal Year while our leaders in Sacramento continue to stand up for much-needed transit funding. And we had our own mini celebratory event with two more electric trainsets shipping out from the Stadler facility in Salt Lake City.
Our dedicated team remains laser-focused on ensuring electrified service can begin in 2024. As you make plans for the summer, be sure to consider Caltrain as a safe, reliable, convenient, and affordable transportation option for getting to your destination.
