1. Temporary Relocation of SF Motorcoach stop on 8/24
**********************************************************************
Due to a footrace in San Francisco, the San Francisco Ferry Building
stop will be temporarily relocated from 7am-11am on Sunday 8/24 only.
Motorcoach buses will pick up passengers at Mission and Steuart
Streets, one block west of the current Ferry Building stop. Station
agents from the Ferry Building station will be available to assist
passengers with this transition.

Old Town Sacramento and visit the California State Railroad Museum.

3. August’s Safety Tip: Stop, Look and Listen.
**********************************************************************
Your safety is a top priority to Capitol Corridor. To help you travel
safely, we’ll include a new safety tip in this newsletter each month.
Stop, Look and Listen.
When waiting on the platform, visually scan the area around you for
suspicious persons or activity. Avoid using a mobile phone, a PDA, or
listening to an iPod whenever possible so you can hear what is going
on around you. Electronic devices detract from your level of
awareness, but, along with laptops, wallets, purses and cash, they are
what thieves commonly take–often forcibly–from their victims.
Call 911 or Amtrak Police directly at 1-800-331-0008 to report an
emergency.
BE AWARE. BE INVOLVED. BE SAFE.
