@caltrain.com just celebrated one year of fully electrified train service in the Bay Area — with surging ridership and faster, more frequent services.

California is driving our clean tech dominance forward and laying the groundwork to hook up to our @cahsra.bsky.social high-speed rail.

“Today we celebrate one year of electrified Caltrain – using clean technology to connect more communities and economies throughout our state while laying crucial groundwork for high-speed rail.” (1/2)

Moments like these showcase the collaboration that keeps the Bay Area moving—and remind us that public transit is more than essential. It’s sustainable, forward-looking, and a great way to bring people together.
