With the new year comes new appointments to the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB) of Directors. Today’s board meeting saw the swearing in of new member San Mateo County Board President David Canepa. 

Canepa represents the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on the rail agency’s board. Canepa was elected to the Board of Supervisors in November 2016 and has served two terms. He sits on numerous transportation committees and boards, including the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance and the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) Board of Directors. 

“I am excited to join the Caltrain Board of Directors and contribute to the amazing work that has been accomplished,” said Director Canepa. “We will continue connecting the peninsula into the future.”  

The Caltrain Board is chaired by former MTC Executive Director and current San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors member Steve Heminger, while San Bruno Mayor Rico E. Medina serves as vice chair. 

The JPB is the governing body of Caltrain, which operates regional rail service in San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The nine-member board of directors is composed of three members from each of the three partner agencies.
