April 8 Readers' letters: Time to work for an electrified Caltrain

By Yoriko Kishimoto - Time to work for an electrified Caltrain
 
What a week for transportation and jobs, with NUMMI shutting down and Caltrain declaring virtual bankruptcy.

This is a wake-up call.
 
We must get federal, state and local governments to work together to realize the vision of an electrified, efficient Caltrain to serve our communities. It will double the ridership, serve more stations, dramatically reduce emissions and noise, and support the growth of new jobs and our green economy.
 
It's time for real reform to make transportation work for our communities and protect the environment. Who will join me in this effort?
 
Yoriko Kishimoto
Former Mayor of Palo Alto Candidate, State Assembly District 21
