A preliminary allocation of $127 million for <br /> Caltrain improvements has been eannarked from this source, but it is evident that many other <br /> statewide decisions will be made regarding transportation funding. Communities that can <br /> demonstrate compelling transit needs and exhibit coordinated, meaningful consensus for <br /> improvements will have the best opportunities to participate in future allocations. <br /> In San Mateo County, where mounting congestion threatens our quality of life and future <br /> prosperity, we must take advantage of every avenue to fund our public transportation <br /> infrastructure. I invite your community to join with county govemment, SamTrans, County <br /> Transportation Authority, Caltrain governing board and fellow municipalities to demonstrate to <br /> the Governor's O�ce that we have the need and the will to utilize these State resources most <br /> effectively. <br /> Enclosed is a sample resolution that your city may wish to enact and forward to the Governor. <br /> You may elect to express your conviction in another manner: Whatever avenue you choose, I <br /> urge you and your colleagues to act promptly and clearly to send our message to Sacramento. <br /> Thanks for your help, and please feel free to contact me with questions or comments at the <br /> county offices (650) 363-4572 or care of SamTrans (650) 508-6242. <br /> Sincerely, . <br /> A� �� � <br /> � <br /> Mi Nevin, hair <br /> Enc. <br /> C: Boazd of Directors <br /> Michael J.
