1. 4th of July schedule and service adjustments
**********************************************************************
• Capitol Corridor will run on a weekend/holiday schedule on Friday,
July 4th, in observance of Independence Day. Fares will remain the
same.
• San Francisco Pier 39 stop will not have any motorcoach service
from 7pm through midnight. Signage will be posted at this stop
advising passengers of this service adjustment.
Additionally, during those hours (7pm-midnight), the San Francisco
Ferry Building stop will be temporarily moved to Steuart and Mission
Streets, approximately 1.5 blocks from the current station to
accommodate San Francisco’s 4th of July Festivities.
• The Truckee Stop (TRU) will be inaccessible from 9:30am-1pm due to
a parade. Motorcoach buses will pick up passengers at the Truckee
Diner instead that morning.
Capitol Corridor wishes you a safe and enjoyable Independence Day
weekend!

The June track work is now complete, and there are no longer bus
bridges between the Martinez and Suisun/Fairfield station. Capitol
Corridor has resumed normal service. Please refer to the May 12, 2008

We thank you for your patience while Union Pacific Railroad completed

3. Sacramento parking lot construction
**********************************************************************
The City of Sacramento, Department of Transportation will be
re-surfacing and re-striping the front parking lot at the Sacramento
station. Parking lot improvements will take place on the following
weekends:
• July 19-20
• July 26-27
The Sacramento parking lot will re-open Monday mornings for daily
commuters.
During construction, drivers can access the Sacramento parking lot by
using the 2nd Street entrance. For your convenience, additional
parking is available at the Old Sacramento parking garage, located at
2nd and I Streets.
The main entrance located at 5th and I Streets will not be available
to drop off and pick up passengers. Passenger drop off and pick up
will be located west of the station at 2nd and I Streets. Please
follow detour signs.

4. Bikes on board
**********************************************************************
With more and more people ditching their cars for a greener way to get
to and from the train station, there are times when it is likely that
the bike racks will fill up quickly. We encourage bicyclists to carry
bungee cords with them so they can secure their bicycles to the racks
or lower level seating areas when traveling on crowded trains.
