A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
IN SUPPORT OF THE FOURTH TRAIN OF
THE SAN JOAQUIN CORRIDOR
WHEREAS, the fourth train of the San Joaquin corridor enhances transportation options
for families, business people, tourists and students and is vital in dealing with the valley's
expanding population and transportation needs; and
WHEREAS, the fourth train lessens the number of people on the highways, and, thus,
reduces congestion and air quality problems for our valley; and
WHEREAS, inconvenient scheduling and poor on-time records have hurt ridership and
Caltrans has just begun implementing a new strategic business plan that will improve service and
increase the farebox recovery ratio; and
WHEREAS, Caltrans' use of the state-of-the-art California Car on the San Joaquin
corridor will increase ridership; and
WHEREAS, California has made a commitment to improving the San Joaquin Rail
corridor in order to enhance both the valley's and the state's economy; and
WHEREAS, the San Joaquin Valley continues to support intercity rail services as a viable
alternative to other modes of transportation needs of tomorrow.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lodi
hereby supports the continuance of Amtrak's fourth train providing service to the San Joaquin
Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.
