Big news for San Mateo County and our entire region,
@Caltrain has just been ranked the fastest-growing transit agency in the entire country for 2025, and I couldn’t be more proud. 🚆💨
According to the American Public Transportation Association, Caltrain saw an incredible 56% growth in ridership, putting it at #1 in the nation among agencies with 3 to 15 million annual trips. This is a major milestone in our efforts to build a cleaner, faster, more efficient transportation future.
And the momentum doesn’t stop there:
✨ Ridership is surging — Over 40% growth in early 2025, with more than 1 million passengers in August alone, a 67% jump from last year.
✨ Electrification is transforming the rider experience — smoother rides, cleaner air, more frequent trains, faster travel times, and reliable onboard Wi-Fi.
✨ Satisfaction is at an all-time high — 93% overall satisfaction, up from 78% in 2024.
✨ Service has improved dramatically — doubled weekend service and stronger on-time performance.
✨ Public support is overwhelming — 8 in 10 voters say they have a favorable view of Caltrain.
This is what smart public investment looks like. This is what happens when we commit to modern, climate-friendly transit that truly serves our residents.
I want to thank everyone who uses Caltrain, supports Caltrain, and believes in a future where public transportation is fast, clean, reliable, and accessible for all. Today’s success is just the beginning, and I’m excited for what comes next.
Let’s keep pushing forward. 🚆⚡
