PUBLIC HEARING FOR PROPOSED FARE INCREASE AND SERVICE CHANGES

Chair Nevin said the board will conduct a public hearing for the purpose of considering proposed changes in the JPB's codified tariff and service levels.

Director Harnett acknowledged all the phone calls and emails that have been sent to him with regard to these issues. He appreciates all the public comment and assured the public that their input has been considered.

Chuck Harvey, Chief Operating Officer, gave a presentation including Caltrain history, the budget crisis, the fare increase and service level proposals, combined savings potential and the public information process the JPB undertook.

Mr. Harvey said staff recommends the board authorize implementation of an additional reverse-peak Baby Bullet on May 2, 2005. Approximately $400,000 will be generated in revenue.

Comments regarding proposal of service suspension to College Park Station
Father Wade, representing Bellarmine Preparatory College (Bellarmine), said there are over 300 families that rely on Caltrain for transportation to Bellarmine. If College Park station was closed, the neighborhood would be negatively impacted because there would be more cars on the road and greater demand for parking. Father Wade said Bellarmine is willing to work with reduced service rather than elimination of all service. He said historically Bellarmine chose their location based on the convenience and service of Caltrain.

Director Yeager said the City of San Jose is very proud of Bellarmine and acknowledged that the school always gives back to the community while at the same time building the next generation of leaders.

Casey McCullough, Palo Alto, said he has been taking Caltrain for the past seven years and has shared his train experience with hundreds of students. If College Park station is closed, many students will be unable to attend Bellarmine. Those who are able to remain attending Bellarmine, will have to drive, which has great environmental impacts.

Terry Juri, San Carlos, asked that the College Park station remain open. Her children attend Bellarmine, which would be an unreasonable option if there was not service at College Park. If the station closes, teenagers will be forced to drive to school. She urged the board not to turn away loyal riders.

Dorothy Farkas, San Carlos, said Caltrain service to College Park was a consideration in deciding to have her son to attend Bellarmine. She said if service is eliminated at College Park, she will have to drive her son to school before driving to work. She is also concerned with the risk of forcing teenagers to drive to school.

Lori Mains, Morgan Hill, asked the Board to remember South County residents in their decision because Morgan Hill and Gilroy residents need the train. She said if service to College Park is eliminated, her son will have to drive to Bellarmine.

Pageen Mohr, San Jose, said she became aware of Caltrain because of Bellarmine. She said the 300students taking Caltrain to Bellarmine are all commuters-in-training.

Gina Wolff, Mountain View, said cutting service to College Park station will be enormously harmful not only to the environment and community but also to Caltrain and future commuters.

Sandra Maher, Morgan Hill, said she would like College Park station to remain open because it is convenient and, more importantly, safe.

Norma Ludergnani, Gilroy, said Caltrain assures equal opportunity for young men to attend Bellarmine because it is affordable.

Patrick Go, Redwood City, said although closing College Park station may seem like mere statistics, cancellation of service means more than that. The Caltrain vision states that Caltrain should offer convenient, efficient, pleasant and economical service that is safe and secure. He said denying service to the Bellarmine community will make Caltrain inconvenient, inefficient, expensive and not at all pleasant.

Bradley French, San Mateo, said with the current proposal, he will not be able to attend Bellarmine next year, which is the case for many Bellarmine students. Caltrain service is a necessity for those who need inexpensive transportation. If College Park station is closed, he estimated Caltrain will loose $54,000, which is important in fixing the Caltrain budget deficit.

Kyle Wolff, Mountain View, said he has built good friendships on the train while riding with fellow students. If the College Park station is closed, future students will not be able to have those experiences.

Diego Ludergnani, Gilroy, said that if the College Park station is closed, parents of students at Bellarmine will be denied the feeling of safety for their children. Also, the students who live south of San Jose will be denied the opportunity to attend Bellarmine.

Bob Couch, Menlo Park, said he attended the Caltrain public meeting in San Francisco and asked how much money will be saved for the closure of College Park, which could not be answered. He said estimating potential revenues is a bad business model for closing stations. He also said he would like to see more Baby Bullet trains later in the commute hours.

Tim McKenzie, Los Altos Hills, said Caltrain service to College Park is the only legitimate way to get to Bellarmine. He said even if students were able to drive to school, it would mean more cars on the roads and greater demand for parking at Bellarmine, which is limited.

Margaret Yarake, Palo Alto, said she allows her sons to use Caltrain to get to Bellarmine because it is safe and convenient. She said monthly passes reduced by $20 when Caltrain revamped its system. She is angry at the lower price and elimination of service.

Daniel Cook, Los Altos, said he has several choices for transportation to get to Bellarmine. However, his parents encouraged him to ride Caltrain. He has learned how to read schedules and how to transfer, and make connections, which allows him to use other transportation systems.

Ben Neveras, Atherton, said he is able to drive but prefers to use Caltrain to get to Bellarmine because of fuel prices and the parking situation at the campus. He doesn't think College Park station should be closed because students may not be able to attend Bellarmine or may be late to class because they can't find parking.

Daniel Couch, Menlo Park, said riding the train to Bellarmine has become part of his lifestyle. If there wasn't Caltrain service to Bellarmine, he would not be able to attend. Additionally, if the station was closed, there would be a loss in revenue and the impacts on the environment would be terrible.

Peter Singh, Hollister, said taking the train to Bellarmine allows him extra time to sleep, which helps him in school.

Hiroaki Rodrtguzz, San Jose, said Caltrain allows the opportunity for both students and adults to save gas and the environment. With the closure of College Park, there will be more congestion and many people will not be able to attend the school.

Matt Grimes, Mountain View, said the average Bay Area driver spends 53 hours in traffic every year. If 300 more cars were on the road, that problem is only going to get worse. Every gallon of gas consumed by a car releases 20 pounds of climate change pollution. He said we need to develop a community that is committed to public transportation and to enduring that students get to their destination on time and in the right manner.

Louis Balocca, Los Altos, said he prefers to take the train to Bellarmine even though he could be driven. If College Park closes, he will have no reason to ride Caltrain ever again. He said the ratio of riders per train at College Park is much higher than any of the other proposed station closures.

Bret Donnelly, Cupertino, said the College Park station is the reason he was able to attend Bellarmine. Bellarmine represents an array of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds and much of it would be lost if College Park was closed. Additionally, the parking is limited and additional cars would be very difficult to accommodate.

Christopher Peter England, Morgan Hill, chose to attend Bellarmine because of the train service to College Park. Part of what draws people to Bellarmine is the ease of transportation. Eliminating the service will lower the esteem of the school.

Tom Spieker, Atherton, said Bellarmine is a Bay Area institution, the oldest secondary school in California, which has educated many young men. Without the College Park station, the opportunity to attend will be severely compromised.

Susan French, San Mateo, said the location of Caltrain was a factor in sending her son to Bellarmine because the service delivers the student directly to campus. She does not want her son making bus connections in downtown San Jose with his backpack and other things he needs to carry. Making connections does not decrease travel time, it increases it.

Carol Casterman, Redwood City, said one of the reasons she chose Bellarmine for her family is because of the Caltrain service to College Park. She does not think it is feasible to ask students to go to Santa Clara or San Jose as an alternative to College Park because of safety issues.

Penny Doubek, Morgan Hill, said her father was the chairman of the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). His career has given her the opportunity to grow up with mass transit. Part of the decision to allow her son to attend Bellarmine was the convenience of public transportation.

Thomas Gornde, Morgan Hill, said the majority of people have been saying shuttle busses from Santa Clara or San Jose will not be successful. The result will be a loss of approximately $2 million per year in revenue.

Tyler Clayton, San Jose, said his only way to get to school is by Caltrain. He said he would get to school late if he needed to transfer.

Elizabeth Monley, San Jose, said in 2002, the residents of College Park and Bellarmine undertook a massive campaign to reduce traffic and parking on community streets. Students were heavily encouraged to look at other means of arriving to school and many decided on taking the train. Daily ridership is between 250 and 300 at the station. She said looking to the Baby Bullet to answer budget problems while cutting out local stations will not strengthen ridership over the long-term because the Bullets and local service rely on each other.

Tom Comey, San Jose, said ridership at College Park station is guaranteed and it is beneficial to the larger community. He also said he would like special event and evening service available at College Park. By closing the station, students will have to drive and there will be more congestion.

Adrian Brandt, said students can continue to use Caltrain even if College Park station is closed. Diridon station is one mile away and there are also other transit options available.

Comments regarding proposal of service suspension to Broadway Station
Ross Bruce, Burlingame, submitted a petition with over 2,400 signatures to keep the Broadway station open. He said merchants and citizens depend on the train service. He acknowledged that ridership is down; however, train service has been cut by 37 percent. He expects that ridership will increase with the high gas prices and heavy congestion on Highway 101. He said if station improvements are too costly, he suggested waiting until a more fiscally convenient time. He said over 64 percent of Broadway riders access the station by walking so using the Millbrae station is not a feasible alternative.

Joe Galligan, Burlingame, commended staff with the vision of the Baby Bullet. However, because of the success of the bullet service, the history of Burlingame, Broadway and College Park will potentially be lost if the stations are closed. With regard to College Park, he would not support with any reduction in service.

Rosalie O'Mahony, Burlingame, asked that the Burlingame capital improvement project not be mingled with the operating problem. She asked that the board keep Broadway station open. She asked for trains in the morning and the early evening. She said she would be willing to reduce midday service.

Cathy Baylock, Burlingame, said $43 million is still owed to San Mateo County for the reimbursement of the Caltrain right-of-way. She calculated that $2.6 million is lost per year in interest. If a surcharge were implemented for the Santa Clara and San Francisco riders, the cost should be $13 per-boarding, based on the ridership numbers.

Terry Nagel, Burlingame, said the proposed schedule is predicated on the theory that people will change their patterns by going to a Baby Bullet station, which has not been proven, and ridership will be lost. Based on figures provided by staff, San Mateo County will loose the most stops.

Diane Condon Wirgler, Burlingame, said many people are not aware of the proposed changes because they are too busy working. She said Burlingame is loosing most of its stops.

Susan Kane, Burlingame, spoke on behalf of those with disabilities. Using an adjacent station to Broadway would add an additional 40 minutes to her commute.

Charles Voltz, Burlingame, said there is symbolic value of the Broadway station. If the station is closed, political support for Caltrain will erode.

Ann Keighran, Burlingame, said the amount of trains servicing Broadway has already been decreased, which reduced ridership. She said riders will not walk to adjacent stations. Closing the Broadway station would defeat the purpose of promoting affordable housing and encouraging the use of public transportation.

Jane Gomery, Burlingame, said there has recently been a lot of investment made into the Broadway station and surrounding area, which could potentially increase ridership and benefit the Broadway station.

John Root, Burlingame, urged the board not to close the Broadway station because it would compromise the transit-oriented development planned for the area and also because many people access the station by walking. He also said if a station is closed, the adjacent station should not have reduced service.

Gene Condon, Burlingame, said Burlingame has been ahead of its time as a transit oriented community, which is what the ridership is building towards. He feels it is unfair that Broadway is being penalized.

Justin Schnee, Burlingame, said with the new schedule there may be new riders but many existing riders will be lost because of the cuts. He suggested drafting another schedule or keeping the current schedule.

Jeff Carter, Burlingame, said he reluctantly endorsed the fare increase. However, he does not support closing Broadway since many people walk to the station and service has already been reduced. He said ridership for all the proposed station closures were higher before the Baby Bullet was implemented. He said he did not support closure of College Park either.

Comments regarding proposal of service suspension to Atherton Station
James Janz, Atherton, said the town has tried to encourage ridership and instated free extended parking. Atherton conducted a survey and many people would like to see service remain. He questioned the compliance with CEQA regulations and the proposed schedule changes.

Bill Conwell, Atherton, said the people of Atherton voted in support of Measure A, which was to provide transportation funds. The people of Atherton see Caltrain as vital.

Malcolm Dudley, Atherton, said the train is essential to the Peninsula. Caltrain has the responsibility to serve all communities.

Jim Robinson, Atherton, said the recent Atherton survey showed 85 percent of residents favored preserving service to the station. He said there is great potential to increase ridership in Atherton.

Rosemary Maulbetsch, Atherton, said according to the Caltrain goals, Caltrain wants to be the preferred mode of travel along the peninsula corridor; must offer people an attractive option or alternative to automobile travel while helping to achieve congestion relief and air quality goals; should accommodate a variety of travel needs, whether one is traveling a short distance to a neighboring town or traveling a great distance between counties; and must provide a flexible mix of local and express service that reflects the needs of Caltrain passengers. She said cutting the service to Atherton would be the antithesis of meeting those goals.

P. Gregory Conlon, Atherton, said Caltrain is a public agency with a primary purpose to serve the public. He suggested issuing bonds to cover the budget deficit. He said he is also concerned with the safety of the railroad.

Jerry Carlson, Atherton, suggested having a higher fare increase rather than suspending service. He also suggested charging a premium for the Baby Bullet service. He doesn't think the board should wait until July to implement the fare changes and he thinks the train service could be marketed more creatively.

Kelly Fergusson, Menlo Park, said service reductions to Atherton would have a detrimental effect. Atherton residents who previously walked or drove to the Atherton station, which has a large parking lot, would now have to drive Menlo Park. People would have to park on commercial and residential streets near the station resulting in a drop in the retail vitality in that area, which they depend on to balance the city budget. Reducing service to Atherton, Broadway and College Park will reduce overall regional economic vitality as well as opportunities for transit-oriented development.

Carla Campbell, Menlo Park, said she bought her home because it was located near the train station. Train service is very important to her, other disabled passengers and all non-drivers. The train is useful for her because it frequently stops in many places. She suggested raising fares, having more advertising, installing vending machines, or anything that would retain service.

General Comments regarding the proposed fare increase and service changes
Brian Brackner, Oakland, said he objects to the raising fares for the disabled. He said he dislikes the Baby Bullet trains because they value speed over people needing other types of service.

John Bacon, Torrence, said the Baby Bullet service misses many potential riders by only stopping at specific stations. He submitted an alternative scheme for consideration of staff.

Jennifer Paedon, representing the Moffett Park Business & Transportation Association, said they strongly support adding more Baby Bullet trains to the schedule with alternate station stops. They also support leaving weekend and Gilroy service intact. However, the Gilroy schedule does not compliment the work schedule of some employees.

Kevin Mathy, representing Stanford University, asked the board to consider the impact of the service changes on the shuttles that feed into the Caltrain system. He requested having an effective date of September 1, rather than July 1, for any changes.

Michael Epstein, San Francisco, said neither he nor his girlfriend support the elimination of the weekend 7 a.m. train from San Francisco to San Jose. However, he suggested having a bus service at a minimum.

Gayle Likens, Palo Alto, said the City of Palo Alto is pleased that the Palo Alto station will continue to be served by an increasing number of Baby Bullets. However, they are concerned with a loss of over 50 percent of the trains serving the California Avenue station because it is a major destination for the business community.

Michael Kiesling, San Francisco, said he supports the proposal to suspend service at College Park, Atherton, Broadway, and Paul Avenue because there are alternative modes of transportation, specifically the bus service.

Margaret Okuzumi, representing BayRail Alliance, said they feel the proposal for service changes are on the right track.

Ryan Hoover, Foster City, said he is opposed to the reduction of service proposed for Lawerence station. With the proposed reductions, many will be forced to find alternative modes of transportation.

Peter Karp, San Mateo, said he feels the counties should contribute more money to Caltrain so service reductions would not be needed.

Yevgeniy (Eugene) Lysyy, Palo Alto, suggested running three-car trains to make service more frequent and convenient. He said unnecessary projects should be stopped and the funds should be used to keep the system running.

Carrick Sears, San Carlos, said he believes the proposed schedule is not in the best interest of the Bay Area and many riders will begin commuting in their cars. He proposed retaining the current schedule or amending the schedule with more trains in the morning. He proposed reducing mid-day service and running weekend service every two hours.

Vaughn Wolffe, representing RailPAC, said they support the temporary reduction in service unless the cities make a contribution for retaining their service. He said there may be a combination of frequency and service that could cover the cost of operations from the farebox, as BART is able to do. The member-agency money could then be used for capital improvements, he said.

Doug DeLong, Mountain View, questioned the specific factors for suspension of service for the four proposed stations.

Margaret Monroe, Menlo Park, said she does not support the proposed schedule changes. She feels that closing these stations sends the message that Caltrain does not care about local service in exchange for possible ridership with the new schedule. The current schedule could be tighter and service reductions would not be necessary, she said.

(Undisclosed speaker) said the fare increase will discourage casual riders. He suggested raising monthly passes instead.

The motion to close the public hearing was unanimously approved.

The Board Secretary stated that the JPB's official public information campaign to announce the public hearing and solicit input began after the March 3 board action. Advertisements for the hearing appeared in local newspapers and publicized through the JPB's printed agendas, Take Ones (placed on trains), station flyers, and on the Caltrain and TransitInfo websites. In addition, a news release announcing the proposed fares and service levels was circulated to local media.

Mr. Scanlon said everyone in attendance wants to save Caltrain but that service is in jeopardy. At the root of the problem is the projection of a $13.6 million deficit for operating during FY2006. A number of things can be done to reduce the deficit, he said. The Super-88 schedule produces an aggregate $2.5 million betterment between lower costs and more revenues. The fare increase would be a $3.4 million increase in revenue and reduction towards the deficit. Attrition of the midline station agents would yield $600,000. Staff is also trying to identify $1 million in savings from the virtual organization. Including those estimated amounts to reduce the deficit, there will still be $6.1 million outstanding. If the Board chooses, there is an opportunity to capitalize approximately $3 million by utilizing capital funds that are operational. However, he cautioned that would, in effect, by one-time funding and would not solve the structural problem that exists. If all the above options are exercised, the deficit would be approximately $3 million.

Mr. Scanlon said with that deficit amount, either the partners could contribute more money to close the gap or further reductions, such as suspended weekend or Gilroy service, or running midday service every hour. Staff will continue to explore other opportunities for closing the budget gap.

Mr. Scanlon said with the uncertainty of fuel and insurance inflation the $1.4 million in reserves is vulnerable. Additionally, he cautioned that the $2.5 million betterment of the Super-88 schedule will not be seen immediately. Mr. Scanlon said the schedule is tight but the benefit of implementing service changes and a fare increase on July 1 is, a full year's data will be complied and analyzed.

Director Hartnett said the underlying theme has always been timely, safe public transit and no one here wants to reduce service. The proposal represents things that can be done including increases in revenue, reduction in expenses and the combination thereof, helping us get to the goal of the balanced budget while saving as much service as possible. Director Hartnett said the member-agencies should work collectively to see if contributions could be increased. He would also like to consider a higher fare increase primarily because the reserves are so low. With regard to station closures, he said there are unique characteristics about the Bellarmine station that should be considered and he would like to see the cost associated with reduction in service rather than elimination of service or as an alternative, participating in a partnership in shuttle service from another station.

Chair Nevin said he believes Caltrain is the finest example, in the region, of regional cooperation and the partnership needs to be saved at any cost. Transportation is becoming less jurisdictional in terms of parochial thinking or city and county boundaries. It's the connectivity of 7 million people.

Mr. Scanlon said it is true that the San Mateo County Transit District advanced the original local share on behalf of both Santa Clara and San Francisco Counties. However, even if that money was reimbursed right now, that is not Caltrain money and would not solve this problem. That is money sorely need, one day, by SamTrans - not by Caltrain. The general managers of the three organizations have been working together to find a creative way to make SamTrans whole for that investment. He cautioned that that is a different subject and shouldn't relate to the operating costs. The operating costs are shared among this partnership, he said.

Director Yeager asked about the timing of the service changes. He said in VTA's FY2006 budget there is a proposal for a three percent increase, which the three directors that also serve on VTA are in support of. However, that decision won't be made until June. He asked how much information would need to be known before the April 22 special board meeting.

Mr. Scanlon said ideally staff would like to make a decision at the April 22 meeting so that a draft budget can be presented at the May 7 board meeting. Adoption of the budget can then be made in June.

Director Yeager said he would like to know what the impact is with restoring some of the service on stations that are being proposed for closure. He also would like to look at raising the fares higher than the current proposal.

Director McLemore said he would also like to explore a larger fare increase and would like to look at a special fuel charge, although it would be difficult to administer. He said he thinks staff has done an outstanding job with the Super-88 schedule and the increased efficiencies but at the same time, some of the service elements may have been overlooked such as shuttles provided from the Santa Clara station to Silicon Valley and the San Jose airport. He also thinks a solution for Bellarmine needs to be addressed and he would like to see minimum capabilities for service to Broadway and Atherton.

Director Maxwell agreed that something needs to be done with fuel but she would like to see something more permanent. She also agreed that a higher fare increase should be considered.

Director Gage said in order for VTA to provide more Caltrain funding, VTA would have to cut their own service even farther. He would also like to have some quantification based on closing Gilroy and College Park. Each individual county may feel that that service is important to the county and they may want to help fund those services, he said.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A DECLARATION OF FISCAL EMERGENCY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006

Gigi Harrington, Chief Financial Officer, said that at its March 3, 2005 meeting the Board was given a report of the agency's financial status. The Board concluded there were significant financial issues regarding the FY2006 budget and called for a public hearing to take testimony regarding the possible fiscal emergency. The purpose of the hearing was to present detailed information that confirms a fiscal emergency exists and to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed declaration of fiscal emergency. The staff report provided the detailed analysis which shows that the JPB would have a shortfall of working capital within twelve months.

The Board Secretary stated that the JPB's official public information campaign to announce the public hearing and solicit input began after the March 3 board action. Advertisements for the hearing appeared in local newspapers and publicized through the JPB's printed agendas, Take Ones (placed on trains), station flyers, and on the Caltrain and TransitInfo websites. In addition, a news release announcing the proposed fares and service levels was circulated to local media. One email was received regarding the proposed declaration of a fiscal emergency, which was included in the correspondence package.

Jeff Carter, Burlingame, said the Board should do whatever necessary to attain a dedicated funding source for Caltrain. The Board should consider a ¼ cent sales tax in each county as an alternative to reducing service or closing stations.

Margaret Okuzumi, representing BayRail Alliance, acknowledged that a fiscal emergency exits. Ms. Okuzumi voiced support of the VTA plans to increase their contribution by three percent and hopes the other partners will follow. Local municipalities need to contribute to station improvements that will improve operations and safety.

P. Gregory Conlon, Atherton, suggested using operating subsidies from the new Measure A to help solve the fiscal emergency.

The motion to close the public hearing was unanimously approved.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Yevgeniy (Eugene) Lysyy, Palo Alto, suggested raising fares for express trains or at stations with low ridership rather than eliminate service to stations.

Paul Wendt, Belmont, said he is opposed to closing Broadway or Atherton stations.
