San Mateo County CA: Caltrain to Add 3rd Bike Car

Hello Bicycle Commuters and Supporters,

Caltrain staff announced at today’s Board meeting that a third bike car will be added to all Bombardier trains! The Board will formally approve at February’s meeting, but staff’s announcement today is groundbreaking! Caltrain will add a passenger car soon to existing Bombardier trains to run six-car trains, because the new bike cars won’t be ready until fall.

This would not have happened without your support. Thank you to all who sent letters, attended meetings, and made public comment. You spoke, and Caltrain listened.

Please take a moment to thank Caltrain by sending an email:

To: board@caltrain.com

cc: cacsecretary@caltrain.com, bac@caltrain.com, bikesonboard@sfbike.org

Suggested talking points:

+ Thank Caltrain for planning to add a third bike car to Bombardier trains this fall

+ Explain how this will improve your commute

+ Include your city of residence with your signature

Thank you again for your unwavering support. It’s your support that makes positive change happen!

Please forward to other cyclists and anyone who cares about bicycle commuting.

More bikes, no bumps,

Shirley Johnson
