1. Capitol Corridor monthly tickets and Placer Commuter Express
Now that Placer County Transit has added a 3rd afternoon bus to their
Placer Commuter Express service between Placer County and Sacramento,
there has been some confusion about which buses honor Capitol Corridor
monthly tickets. To clarify, Placer Commuter Express WILL NOT accept
Capitol Corridor tickets on the first afternoon departure from
Sacramento back to Placer County (bus departs Sacramento stops between
4:32pm and 4:47pm). However, Capitol Corridor monthly tickets will be
accepted on the second and third afternoon Placer Commuter Express
buses. Placer Commuter Express will begin enforcing this new policy
beginning Monday, June 18, 2007.

4. National Dump the Pump Day- Thursday June 21, 2007
**********************************************************************
On Thursday, June 21, Capitol Corridor joins public transportation
agencies from coast to coast in asking you to park your cars and ride
public transportation instead. Leave your car at home and ride local
transit to your regular Capitol Corridor station for free using our
Transit Transfer program. Simply ask the conductor for your free
Transit Transfer pass the evening before, have it punched for the
following day, and use it to ride local transit for free. Visit the
Capitol Corridor website for a list of participating local transit
providers.
Dump the Pump day is dedicated to raising awareness that public
transportation helps improve the environment and conserve fuel.
