BayRail Alliance endorses MTC’s San Francisco/Silicon Valley Corridor strategy

Information about the MTC’s High Speed Rail strategy.

June 24, 2009

Will Kempton, Director
California Department of Transportation

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 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.
