California needs world class intercity rail to lower transportation CO2 emissions and meet SB32 goals. #SB50 Twitter.

Programming note: this account is now an advocate for California transportation emissions reductions, particularly through the improvement and expansion of the state's intercity rail networks.

Broadway station would be completely transformed... hold-out rule will be eliminated, station would see weekday service restored (currently weekend-only), station length would be extended

[CalRail @CalRail]

Worth checking out: the slides presented by Caltrain and Burlingame for the Broadway grade separation project.

Today we unveiled an ambitious proposal for a Regional Express (ReX) Transit Network to connect the Bay Area like never before. Read all about it and see the map.

San Francisco could get 6 additional new BART stations if a second transbay crossing is added and extended under Geary.

if Silicon Valley built enough homes to keep up with job growth (instead of dumping their housing problem on the rest of the western USA)

Add some standard gauge and BART gauge rail crossings to the SF Bay!

[Urban Environmentalists @UrbanEnviroCA]

In order to have new all-eletric homes we need to have *new homes*. @buildingdecarb ask @SFEnvironment to study decarbonized infill homes for SF. https://t.co/BixGi25aWs

When these two crossings are built, all Bay Area transit agencies will benefit (@SFBART, @rideact, @SamTrans, @sfmta_muni, @VTA)

The California High Speed Rail Authority, @CaHSRA, should fund a competition to see which right of way is best able to manage a $5 billion grant to improve its operations in preparation for LA-to-SF high speed rail.

[CalRail @CalRail]

Within the Bay Area itself, two new Bay crossings are needed, one between the current Caltrain terminal and Oakland, and one along the Dumbarton corridor between the current ACE/Capital Corridor route and Caltrain.

Dubs head to the Western Conference Finals for the 5th straight season 👏

[CalRail @CalRail]

This is what's needed for standard gauge passenger rail in the Bay Area. Capitol Corridor connected to Caltrain.

California's #SB50, the #MoreHomes Act has changed a bit today after merging with SB4 in the Governance & Finance Committee. Here's a flowchart explaining how different places may or may not be affected. Thanks to @dillonliam's excellent reporting & @anniefryman for details! 1/

@UrbanEnviroCA Yes

[CalRail @CalRail]

too often a legislative check on an administrative agency is thought of as a way to prevent overreach - but what if it were used to ensure bold enough thinking?

[CalRail @CalRail]

Which parts of the California state administrative state are most responsive to the threat of climate change? Is there a metric available to compare the agencies against each other?
