Perspective it felt like there was procastination until we realized that agencies would be going out for vehicle procurement. Were actually hitting a crux at this point, where we have to make a decision on platform compatibilities. That we cant just have kind of parallel conversations happening in terms of what is best for each agency . And then rfps go out and we realized that we have procured two different types of vehicles that doesnt allow for the greatest flexibility moving into the future. Im not saying its not possible for us to move down that pathway for us to have two different types of vehicles. And there are clearly ways to make that work in the three stations that we have identified that both highspeed rail and caltrain would be stopping at, millbrae and san jose and San Francisco. But i think there is certainly a lot of different factors that will make this a more challenging system into the longterm, while more affordable in the shortterm for both for at least caltrain. I
And right now there is a visual image of what our ridership looks like on a week day. The peak hour were serving many customers and we just broke the 60,000riders on an average week day. In the future we project that to almost double and be over 100,000 by 2040. We also have a robust bikes on board program. Our trains are holding up to 80 bikes per train and sometime those bikes are not even allowed to get on because were already at capacity. So we are something that is called bike bumps that shows the number of bikes that we have today and just another picture of the capacity needs on our system. The Caltrain Modernization Program is really made up of two key programs. The first one is advance signal system, called c boss ptc. Casey, do you have slides . Its allinone powerpoint presentation. The next project is peninsula electrification project. The cboss ptc project has two requirements one is a federal requirement, a safety feature assuring that trains wont be running into each othe
Delivery director for the program. This is a little bit of background on the system i know you are wellversed in it, but for folks that are watching. The caltrain system runs from San Francisco all the way down to san jose. It covers 77 miles, 32 stations and right now there is a visual image of what our ridership looks like on a week day. The peak hour were serving many customers and we just broke the 60,000riders on an average week day. In the future we project that to almost double and be over 100,000 by 2040.

Were familiar with the acronyms, but if you could decipher some of those on the slides. Uprr. What else is on the slide . Hsr is highspeed rail. Is that the only one . California Public Utilities commission is cpuc and americans with disabilities act, ada. A followup why the compatibility discussion is happening right now . Why is the no, it happening now . Why its only happening now . The conversation as i understand it until about four or five months ago was to have the differential heights and that is what mr. Dykes showed in the previous presentation as the plan put forward by the design of the new downtown transit center; which did show in the illustration that he had, that there were two dedicated platform phases. That were at a different height than what the four were for california highspeed rail. So that has been the initiation of the conversation over probably the last four or five months. There have been different discussions at other locations along the caltrain rightofway.
