Get on Board!

As you have probably noticed, there have been several service updates sent out this past week, and while we do try to encapsulate them in one communication to minimize the number of emails and texts alerts, that is not always possible. Our goal is always to get information out to our riders when it becomes available to allow for a seamless travel experience. Below you’ll find some new updates as well as a recap of some you might have missed.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE Y STOP TEMPORARY RELOCATION

Phase two of the facility upgrade project to improve accessibility throughout the station and boarding platforms will soon be underway. Phase one work on the west side of the station is nearing completion and move over to the east side of the station. The project involves remodeling the ticket counter, restrooms in the stations, and replacing sections of the boarding platform. Please allow extra time when arriving to the station and follow signage to open sections of the boarding platform.

Effective August 15, 2022, Capitol Corridor trains will offer a temporary reduced schedule of nine daily round trips. This temporary service reduction is necessary due to workforce shortages that make it challenging for us to offer our full schedule at this time.

The trains that will be affected by this change are 540, 543, 548 and 549, which will be suspended during this time. This change will be in effect through October 2, 2022. These schedule changes are available on our website at capitolcorridor.org/schedules

We look forward to reinstating the suspended trains in early October once additional staff is available to support the schedule. Thank you for your continued patronage.
