Onboard Workshops: New Rail Car Specifications
**********************************************************************
We want to know your opinions!
The Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) is working with
Caltrans on specifications for the next generation of California
intercity passenger railcars. This week and next, CCJPA staff will be
on board the trains to present proposed modifications to the rail
cars, and to obtain input from you about railcar features that meet
your needs.
Look for CCJPA staff on board the following trains between Sacramento
and Oakland on these dates:
Train Date
542 5/26
536 5/27
543 5/27
538 6/1
547 6/2
If you’re not able to attend one of the onboard workshops, but still
want to send us your feedback, please visit Caltrans’ Railcar
Development Virtual Open House, and submit your comments on or before
May 28, 2010.
Thanks!

Please be courteous to your fellow passengers and keep bags and
belongings off of the seats next to you. This helps us accommodate
all passengers comfortably and reduce possibility of standees. Use
the overhead bins above the seats or the luggage areas, which are
located at the ends of each car. Conductors will be making
announcements to remind passengers to keep seats clear for others to
use.
Also, please keep your feet off the seats. If you must rest your feet
on an adjacent seat, please either remove your shoes or place paper or
something else between your shoes and the seat. No one wants to sit on
what you may have stepped in. Filthy seats cost a lot of your fare
dollars to keep clean.
Thank you for your cooperation in making everyone’s trip on a Capitol
Corridor train pleasant and enjoyable.
