Wait what? How does tier 3 hit CC BART? The Yellow Line?

BART counts, but every non-"urban transit county" (<15 rail stations) was previously designated Tier 3, so removing 3 = no CCC regardless of frequency

My understanding is the prevailing understanding is those two Richmonds only count as one

On what basis? I dont think thats been established.

Actually, never mind, an UTC needs _more than_ 15 rail stations

So fucking ridiculous. Who chose 15 as this goofy ass number to get someone's vote?

I don't know, but I suspect Grayson was one of those it was meant to flip (he changed from NVR to Y between committees and I think that was one of the changes in that interim)

Yeah, it's the: "You must have one more train station than Contra Costa County has" amendment. 😑

At least if it was him that amendment only reduced the application to CCC, didn't nearly eliminate it like now

Man, and they still get 10 minute 1 seat rides to downtown S.F. and SFO. Me in Southern Alameda county want some of that

in fairness to Senator Grayson, at the time "urban transit counties" were defined those areas outside them were still in the bill, just at a reduced intensity

Hercules is building a capitol corridor station, assuming the funding ever happens.

It's not a funding issue, it's that CCJPA doesn't want to add a low-ridership station.

Tell Hercules to zone 20 stories within a 1mi radius of the future station & it'll be a good investment
