Okay. And so, it is four percent. Yeah, four percent, yes. Sorry. And all right. Is it, is the contribution break down at least locally and because i know that a number of the funding is coming at the state and federal level, is it roughly even between the three counties . Yes. And i just want to understand, sorry, just the page 2. What are the stations and the inaudible stations . Repairing stations are for the signal system, to remain the signals. What does that mean, i am sorry. But you have, the inaudible a series of stations that have transmitted and the inaudible . Yeah. So, that is what they are. That is what a inaudible is . Yes, what is a switching station then . It is to operate the switches. The switches that are for the tracks. Okay. And so so we have a cal train that can help that. And it is from cal train. Yeah. Cal train. So paralleling stations. It is complete because i applied for those. The paralleling station and switching stations are part of the electric part of, a
There is system a customization issue, but you are saying at least that type of train has been built before . There is one set that i know of that is used on the east coast. It is not something that is common, that is available, and that is another thing that were trying to make sure that we dont wind up with only one manufacturer, that with provide the vehicle. Right. There is still a level of customization required even at 25, because i know that is one of the issues that caltrain had with going to 50, the costs that there are not as Many Companies that build. That is one issue. The second issue, i still dont understand why if you are going to buy 25, are you going to leave the platforms asis, until the eir is done . We would leave the the current eir does not contain anything for raising the platforms. Right, so if we get the 25 platform trains, the stations would all stay the same. How would passengers board 25 trains . A set of steps. What would make going to 50 more challenging i
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
When you have someone who is already on the body who is doing a great job, and i think that reappointment makes sense, and i have been very impressed with his presentation for the past, and i know that he is very committed to these issues and i think that bridging the gaps between young people, and seniors is something that makes a great deal of sense and having that understanding can be very helpful, and so i make a motion to reappoint par sons to the cac. And we have a second and could we have a roll call . Breed. Aye. Campos. Aye. Kim. Aye. Mar aye. Yee. Aye. Item passes. Thank you. Next item. Item 7, major capitol project up date, cal train early investigation. Presentation from louis cerinato. Good morning commissioners, i am the Public Management oversight Construction Authority briefly the cal train and the Investment Program is the Signature Program in the prop k plan and it has three basic components, and known as which is basically to improve the safety of the system. I am ha
That may be more appropriate that may have the compatibility of sitting at the exact same station at the same height and if we do go down that route, what are the cost implication and any impacts to service and what are the impacts to capacity and so we are going to layout the analysis that we are doing and we have committed to giving updates to the Funding Partners on a monthly basis and also coming back to the policy makers to explain what that trade off is and so that everyone has a good understanding of what these different option cans bring and provide. And then in the springtime frame, asking our policy makers to make a decision and a policy recommendation on which vehicle to procure. So, when do you have a sense of what month we are talking about in 2015 . Right now, we have a loose framework and it is between march and may, 2015 that we hope to be able to come back. With the staff recommendations and also have that feedback with the policy makers and we do want to come back to
