RICS Northern California Brown Bag Lunch

California's High Speed Rail System and Downtown Extension of Caltrain


Join us for a brown bag lunch session with Gabriel Metcalf, SPUR's Executive Director, as he updates us on the High Speed Rail Authority's Business Plan and the comparisons and hurdles toward funding this investment.

The extension of Caltrain to downtown San Francisco is the Bay Area's single most important transit project. SPUR made huge strides in 2007 toward finding the funding for the Caltrain extension. It would do for the San Francisco-Peninsula commute what BART does now for the San Francisco-East Bay commute: High-speed rail will enable commuters to walk from their downtown offices and get to San Jose by train in 30 minutes - or to Los Angeles in just two and a half hours!
