.@USDOT is now illegally tying federal transportation funds to:

Marriage/birth rate

Not taking health measures in a pandemic

Cooperation w/ ICE

“Compliance with other goals & objectives specified by the President” [Read: Must do whatever Trump wants]

Having “user-pay model”

I'm covering the Caltrain board meeting at the other site, with my name as the handle

THIS. CEQA isn't Planning. Plan first, then do environmental review.

[Oakland Antioch & Eastern RR @TribTowerViews]

13. Once preferred design, informed by community input, is approved by electeds then environmental review should begin.

We shouldn’t be studying a dozen options at 15% design (very expensive) to hedge bets and bullet proof EIR.

[Oakland Antioch & Eastern RR @TribTowerViews]

4. Only after securing ROD and funding do they realize: we’ve environmentally cleared a very expensive project that will be difficult to build, a challenge to operate and have lower utility to riders.

The latest turn in the VTA subway validates a common critique of US project delivery.

Heh, Carlos Romero calls out the good new Caltrain wifi as helping him prepare for his meeting at the Association of Bay Area Governments.

[Adina Levin @alevin]

Happy to be heading north with the Caltrain wifi, free of "tunnel anxiety" (where connection gets spotty to unusable north of SSF)

Thank you @GavinNewsom for making it faster, cheaper, and easier to build gold standard electric rail in California by signing #AB2503. The bill gets CA on track towards a cleaner transportation system!

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

Packed @SFBART on a Saturday afternoon, but BART service is on the verge of having to get cut. Speak out to demand more funding for BART and all Bay Area transit agencies https://t.co/7Y7Ar0no5X

[Californians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail]

8,000 people is more than the typical weekday ridership at LA Union Station, the hub of Southern California's regional rail system. The people crave electric trains!

@seamlessbayarea The c2 contract is 10 years operations from start.

[Adina Levin @alevin]

@seamlessbayarea Hursh AC Transit can we have free transfers on C1. This was administered in the past. A. We do not know.

[Adina Levin @alevin]

@seamlessbayarea Chan. We have not changed any terms for the c2 project.

[Adina Levin @alevin]

@seamlessbayarea Mulligan asks my question, does the clipper 2 contract have damage provisions for the delay. A. we will get back to you. A. Also you won't have to pay for c2 operations til later

[Adina Levin @alevin]

@seamlessbayarea Now they are talking about increasing funds to Cubic for continuing to maintain the old system because the new system is delayed. Some changes mentioned that I did not understand

[Adina Levin @alevin]

Packed @Caltrain this morning hopefully with many excited by electric service. Wifi crushed tho.

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

Great time with our friends Friends of @Caltrain in Millbrae today! Great to improve transit service with electrification and that more @SFBART + Caltrain trips will be a lot easier. Here's to more connection between the Peninsula and the East Bay!

[Adina Levin @alevin]

Big crowds at Sunnyvale and Mountain View for electrification parties. Big party at San Mateo this afternoon. Where are you going with electric @Caltrain every 30 minutes free all weekend #caltrainfun

[Adina Levin @alevin]

At Pluckys game cafe in Burlingame which will be hosting a #transitmonth game night next Saturday. More #caltrainfun you can enjoy with more frequent electric service @caltrain (or @sfbart)

[Californians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail]

Caltrain's all-electric service launched today, heralding 30 minute weekend frequencies and 15 minute rush hour frequencies. Missed the celebration today? Catch one tomorrow in San Mateo! https://t.co/s7bBOIeIQo
