In late‐January 2009, the California High‐Speed Rail Authority (Authority) held public scoping meetings along the Caltrain corridor in San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties for the San Francisco to San Jose High‐Speed Train (HST) Project Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) process. Public and agency comments provided at those meetings and in other written correspondence received before April 6th, 2009 were included in the draft scoping report, which was completed and published as a draft document in June 2009. Based on the input from the scoping process and previous studies the Authority is developing design alternatives for the Caltrain corridor that will serve both existing Caltrain and future high‐speed train service.

Dear Mr. Kempton:

For more than 25 years, BayRail Alliance has been a strong supporter of Caltrain service improvements on the Peninsula. We are also proud for our advocacy efforts on high speed rail especially during the early part of the decade.

We are writing to express our full support of the San Francisco/Silicon Valley Corridor Investment Strategy recommended by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. We support MTC's strategy because it is the best approach to fulfill the promise made to voters through last year's Proposition 1A and the intent set forth in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Track the Bay Area’s rail future at a public meeting on the Draft Regional Rail Plan

After 18 months of analysis and stakeholder involvement, a draft regional rail plan for expanding the region’s network of rail lines has been completed.

The Draft Regional Rail Plan was made to identify potential rail passenger and rail freight improvements for the near-, intermediate-, and long-term and the economics of different scenarios.

Come to one of a series public meetings (listed below) where you can:

* See and comment on what’s proposed to move people and freight throughout the region in the coming 50 years

* Learn how the regional rail network would be enhanced with proposed California high-speed rail investments (and view alternatives for bringing high-speed rail into the Bay Area)
