Local transportation and elected officials gathered early Monday morning at the Gilroy Transit Center to celebrate the expansion from three to four weekday trains from San Jose to Gilroy. The expansion represents a shift to better transit access for residents of South Santa Clara County, officials said – the realization of a years-long effort to improve service for local commuters.
Besides Blankley and Arenas, the event was also attended by Morgan Hill Mayor Mark Turner and Supervisor Cindy Chavez, as well as several representatives from Caltrain and Valley Transportation Authority, which administers public transportation throughout Santa Clara County. After the event, officials boarded the very first train on the expanded service schedule, riding from Gilroy to Morgan Hill.
The move comes after years of advocacy for expanded transit in southern Santa Clara County by local residents and officials. “[Former Morgan Hill mayor Rich Constantine and Mayor Blankley] just did such a good job of never, ever letting this be on the back burner,” said Chavez, who also serves as a Caltrain board member representing the Valley Transportation Authority, at the event, . “Because we can’t have South County on the back burner. It’s got to be just like every other part of the county.
