Please Join Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, members of the Transbay Joint
Powers Authority (TJPA) and the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to
learn more about the plans underway to build the new Transbay Transit
Center.

This new Transit Center will replace the current Transbay bus
terminal at First and Mission streets in downtown San Francisco
with a Grand Central Station of the West.  The project will:

* Create a central downtown Transit Center that will connect the
San Francisco Bay Area and the State through eight transit systems:
AC Transit, BART, Caltrain, Golden Gate Transit, Greyhound, MUNI
(including paratransit for seniors and the disable), SamTrans and
future High-Speed Rail.

* Extend the Caltrain rail line underground from Fourth and King
streets into the new Transit Center

* Build a vibrant new neighborhood surrounding the Transit Center
with 3,400 homes (35% affordable)

Building Support for Electrification

Time/date:
Thursday, Feb. 15, 2007
6:15 PM - 8:10 PM

We know that electrification is necessary for Caltrain's survival. Furthermore, Caltrain has only a two-year window of opportunity for a political commitment to be made. How can we build the political support necessary to make electrification a reality? We'll discuss how to talk about electrification with the ordinary layperson and your elected officials. Special presentation by Andy Chow.
