Yes! I support improving Caltrain and Regional Transit!
I support PR2000's efforts to promote a regional transit system by upgrading Caltrain to BART-level service and extending it to downtown San
Francisco, improving connections between buses, trains, and other transit modes, and establishing commuter rail between the East Bay and San
Jose.
