Background
The San Carlos Multi-Modal Transit Center Project (Transit Center) is located on the west side of the railroad corridor at the site of the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station. The Transit Center project consists of transforming the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station parking lot into a multi-modal transit center that will better serve the community by improving safety and accessibility between SamTrans fixed route bus services, Caltrain commuter rail services, local shuttles, pedestrians and bicyclists. For more information on the project, please visit

here, or call 650.508.7726.

San Francisco to San Jose

Saturday, January 28, to Friday, February 3, crews will pressure wash and perform janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the San Francisco and Tamien stations.

 

South San Francisco to Burlingame

Monday, January 30, to Friday, February 3, crews will resurface rail between the South San Francisco and Broadway stations. Resurfacing corrects the alignment of uneven rails to make them smooth, minimizing the jerks and bumps experienced by passengers and reducing the mechanical strain on the rails.
