Talking about how different that service would be from the Caltrain Service today. We really are talking about migrating from something thats a traditional Commuter Rail service, where you have a few trains an hour, you have to remember your train number. To something that is for most stations in the system going to be much more of a showupand go service. By directional, allday, really an urban transittype service, where we would have express trains running all day. Express trains by directionally from gilroy all the way to downtown San Francisco. Faster, more frequent service, show up and go at most stations. Something that would have the capacity to triple our ridership and remove more than five freeway lanes worth of traffic from the system. Where we are in the process, we laid this draft vision out to our board in great detail in august. Weve been out taking input. And the t. A. Board is one of our last stops before we kind of go back and really try to distill everything we heard t
Highgrowth scenario being achieved. That said even the baseline scenario requires huge financial commitments. I just want to raise one other issue that potentially further complicates that. If the region is going to be making such huge financial commitments, its also important that all of the relevant local governments make the appropriate commitments about land uses, close to the caltrain stations. And that will necessarily mean that in many cases the density of Development Close to these caltrain stations. They need to be substantially increased, parking requirements will have to be reduced. But it really would be a squandered opportunity if the region makes significant investments in a system, but then typical suburban landuse patterns continue to persist around many of these stations. Thank you. Chair thank you for those comments. Are there any other members of the public here for item number 6 . Seeing none, we will close Public Comment. Thank you to caltrain staff for coming here
I are so pleased to announce a major step forward in President Trumps plan to help ensure that more americans have access to safer more affordable and cleaner new cars that meet their familys needs. 2 1 2 years ago President Trump spoke with auto workers in michigan and said that we would review and revise the last administrations unattainable fuel economy regulations. Those rules were making cars more expensive and impeding safety because consumers were being priced out of newer, safer vehicles. Our team of experts have been jointly working together conducting a long, thoughtful and detailed review of these rules. And todays action is an important down payment on the president s commitment. The one National Program that we are announcing today will ensure that there is one and only one set of National Fuel economy standards as Congress Mandated and intended. No state has the authority to opt out of the nations rules, and no state has a right to impose its policies on everybody else in

The one National Program that we will ensureng today that there is one and only one set of National Fuel economy standards, as Congress Mandated and intended.

It should be noted that this rule only applies to fuel economy. It will not affect californias ability to refocus its efforts on fighting the worst air pollution in the country and comply with existing regulations. Weeks, we will also be publishing the second the safe vehicles rule, which will set new National Standards, fuel economy standards, and while the second part is not yet finalized, i can say that the updated standards will be reasonable.
