Caltrain Asks Public's Input in Changes to "Go Pass"

Caltrain will present the proposed changes to its board of directors at the Dec. 5 meeting. If approved, the changes will take effect Jan. 1, 2014.


Caltrain is holding a series of public forums this week to discuss changes proposed to its "Go Pass" and Group Sales programs. These programs are covered by Caltrain's codified tariff, which outlines the agency's fare policy. 

Proposals to be considered include: Providing a 10 percent discount to fare- paying groups of 25 or more that pre-purchase tickets, allowing companies purchasing Go Pass annual passes to include all of their employees (including those that work less than 20 hours a week) and interns, expanding the annual Go Pass program to include residential complexes, with eligible residents being those who are five years old and older.

Caltrain will present the proposed changes to its board of directors at the Dec. 5 meeting. If approved, the changes will take effect Jan. 1, 2014.
