On June 6, the Caltrain Board unanimously approved the staff recommendation for two bike cars with seven seats and 36 bike spaces per bike car, which was in opposition of SVBC's position. There was however energy among Board and staff toward better on-board security and building out bike parking and corridor-wide bike share before electrification in 2022.

Caltrain’s new electrified fleet will be rolling out for service in 2022. SVBC has been working with Caltrain on the design of their new train cars for years to ensure that the design continues to be as bike friendly as possible. Unfortunately, the staff recommendation for two bike cars on seven car trains raises serious concerns around bike security onboard.
