	"description": "LA is falling behind SF on regional and high speed rail. The Bay Area’s Caltrain just debuted its first in the state electric service, powered by proven overhead wire technology. These lightweight electric trains powered by overhead catenary wires will provide fast, reliable, more frequent, quieter and zero emissions service that Gov. Newsom called “a model for the rest of the country.” Meanwhile, Southern California politicians are still providing no real alternative to hellish, polluting car commutes for residents outside of Metro Rail’s reach, even though Southern California has the nation&#x27;s dirtiest air. On Caltrain, a trip between San Jose and San Francisco is the same distance as San Bernardino to Los Angeles on Metrolink, but the ride on electric Caltrain is 25 minutes faster despite twice as many stops and will run every 15 minute. LA is the second largest city in the US, but Metrolink has fewer riders than Denver’s electrified regional rail - because its slow and infrequent service doesn’t meet travelers&#x27; needs. Caltrain electrified to accommodate California High Speed Rail, which uses the same overhead catenary technology. High Speed Rail service will begin in the Central Valley in 2030, and is planned to share tracks with Metrolink between Burbank and Anaheim – yet Metrolink has no plan to build the infrastructure high speed rail will need. Brightline West, private high speed rail to Las Vegas, plans to start service terminating in Rancho Cucamonga in 2028, but has no plans to continue to Downtown LA, because the Metrolink San Bernardino line doesn’t have wires and has no plan to put them up. To clean up our air, take cars off congested freeways, and bring high speed rail to LA, Metrolink needs to start planning for electrification. Tell Metrolink it’s time to take the lead and bring fast, reliable, clean, green electric rail to Southern California!",
