We are in desperate need of a public transportation option from Santa Cruz County to Los Gatos. Traffic on Highway 17 is at an all time high and commuters want an option to safely commute over the hill and lessen traffic and pollution.
Why is this important?
50,000 people commute each day over Highway 17. With the recent storms and road damage, it's more clear than ever we need options to help get people to and from work other than cars.
Right now Highway 17 Express only stops at Diridon Station (Caltrain Depot) and San Fernando & 5th outside of Santa Cruz County. This forces anyone working in Los Gatos to drive their own cars to work, not only clogging up the highway, but city streets and parking.
Please sign this petition to let the Board of Directors at SCMTD know a stop in Los Gatos or two (Summit could be an additional stop to transport all of the mountain residents into LG and beyond) would not only be profitable, but it would be heavily used and the environmentally responsible decision for Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties.
