A pandemic. A ballot measure. A governance dispute. And a Caltrain crisis that spurred the Bay Area to action. On Wednesday, September 2, join Friends of Caltrain Executive Director Adina Levin and San Francisco Chronicle transportation reporter Rachel Swan for a behind-the-scenes conversation exploring how a ballot measure designed to provide dedicated funding for Caltrain - years in the making - was almost derailed, and how community advocates and local leaders came together to keep the measure on track.

This candid discussion will also touch on what’s next for Caltrain – including prospects for the November ballot measure, new reforms to Caltrain governance and operations, and Caltrain’s plans to improve equity and connectivity – as well as the broader challenges facing Bay Area transit in the midst of a pandemic.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from two of the Bay Area’s leading transportation experts about the future of Caltrain and transit service across the region, and learn about actions you can take to support robust transit service now and in the future.
