Community Meeting for Caltrain Electrification Project
Wednesday, February 3, 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Webinar ID: 944 5335 4186
Caltrain invites the community to a virtual community meeting about the Caltrain Electrification Project. Caltrain staff will provide information about upcoming construction activities in Burlingame. In the coming weeks, crews will begin construction of the paralleling station which will help distribute power to the new electric trains. The paralleling station will be located on the east side of the Caltrain tracks near 1369 North Carolan Avenue.
A community meeting was held in 2018 to discuss the siting of the paralleling station and the presentation can be viewed at www.calmod.org/resources. This meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about the project, including the scope and schedule of upcoming construction activities.
About the Project
Caltrain Electrification is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program that will electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s 4th and King Station to approximately the Tamien Station in San Jose and replace diesel-hauled trains with electric trains. Caltrain Electrification will improve Caltrain system performance, enable more frequent and/or faster train service, and reduce long- term environmental impacts by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrain Electrification is scheduled to be operational by 2022.
