Accommodate a system that will allow us to operate highspeed rail and caltrain trains at 110 Miles Per Hour in the corridor, providing us the capacity to run up to 12 commuter trains per hour, per direction and up to 8 highspeed rail trains per hour per direction excuse me. In total im sorry i always say it the other way. 6 caltrain trains per hour, per direction and 12 highspeed rail trains per hour, perdirection. And in soliciting the industry, we released a request for expressions of interest to receive from firms that are interested in the design, building of the highspeed rail to use on the statewide system. The order will include a base order and options of up to 95 train sets. Were look at procuring a singlelevel train and its important to note that in order for an International Standard to operate at greater than 220 Miles Per Hour, which is a requirement for our system, we need a singlelevel electric multiple unit as opposed to the bilevels units that will couch talked about.
But we know what the International Standard is for highspeed rail and that seems to be approximately 50 level floor, with the Propulsion Systems underneath. If that is what it has to be, we need to find a way to make caltrains equipment compatible with the needs of statewide highspeed rail and the need to have an efficiently operating terminus in San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Lazarus. Next speaker. Good afternoon. Supervisor. So a few things. To start with the question on land use, stafford city used to be an abandon railyard and the reason it was abandoned it used to get flooded and used the dirt from the london tunnels to raise the entire thing by 30. You need to think about opportunities on the transbay tunnel. You could be raising Treasure Island by 30. You could be raising the bayshore baylines by x number of feet. On the subject of platform heights. In europe, every highspeed rail must be able to arrive every station will have to become compatible by 2020. The slides u
Going to be a problem ultimately or a difficulty for caltrain to figure out the equipment that they need to buy.
