Caltrain funding crisis
Summary
Caltrain faces a $75 million annual deficit. Without a November 2026 revenue measure, service could drop to hourly trains, no weekends, and closures of a third of stations — a big deal for anyone commuting or riding the Peninsula.

Impact analysis
A $75 million annual regional transit deficit, with a possible local sales-tax-type measure on the November 2026 ballot.
Riders and the whole region if service is preserved; three freeway lanes' worth of traffic stays off the roads.
If cuts happen, riders lose weekend and late-night service and communities face more congestion.
