We are a public charter high school located adjacent to Mid-Point <br />Technology Park on Broadway Street and have been unsuccessful in our efforts working with <br />SamTrans to get workable bus service to and from our school and the Redwood City CalTrain <br />station. We have a few teachers who live in San Francisco and commute on the train but it is our <br />students who would benefit most from having transportation to and from the Sequoia Station <br />location. . HTH Bayshore serves students in several parts of San Mateo County. CalTrain is a <br />fabulous, safe option but students-then need help with getting from the train to the school, <br />especially in the morning. OUf school hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. <br /> <br />OUf ability to financially support the initiative will be limited due to our non-profit public school <br />status. As you well know, public funding for schools is already lower in California than in most <br />other states. However, we would like to encourage our students to use public transportation to <br />reduce the impact of car traffic on our neighborhood and to foster acclimation to using <br />alternatives to driving their own car as future adult citizens in our community. <br /> <br />We look forward to having the Commuter Shuttle service the Mid-Point Technology Park and <br />want to acknowledge city leaders for planning such a wise initiative for the community. <br /> <br />Sincerely. <br /> <br />~)4tc-:- <br /> <br />Linda Stevenin <br />Bay Area Regional Director of Outreach <br /> <br />HIgh TeCh High Bayshore <br />II .
