.@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”

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.
Happy to see that VTA is considering re-designing its single bore deep subway to have twin bore and cut & cover sections to have shallower tunnels and stations in order to save time and money.

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!
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
AB 2503 (@alex_lee ) which exempts rail electrification projects from CEQA was signed into LAW by @GavinNewsom

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 actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

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!
And that’s a wrap on the weekend celebrations, it was everything and more thanks to all of you!
We had over 8,000 people RSVP for today’s event in @CityofSanMateo, and over 16,000 for the entire weekend!
One for the books! ⚡️
Packed @Caltrain this morning hopefully with many excited by electric service. Wifi crushed tho.
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
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)

Today, @Caltrain launched its new electrified schedule - from diesel power to 100% renewable, zero-emission electric - and is offering free fares all weekend and holding celebratory events in every city along the corridor. For more info, visit caltrain.com/launchparty.
Caltrain ED Bouchard celebrates electrification in Palo Alto with board members and execs from Stadler who made the trains and Balfour Beatty who built the project. Where are you celebrating @caltrain electrification this weekend? #caltrainfun #transitmonth
