Now part of a yearly tradition, the San Mateo County Transit District has unveiled its annual holiday greeting card.
The animated card depicts an average day on the Peninsula for the Transit District, which manages SamTrans, Caltrain and the San Mateo County Public Transportation Authority. Trains whiz by, buses stop to pick up passengers, and construction crews work on street improvements in the greeting card, which is available on the Transit District website at www.smctd.com/HolidayGreetings2015. For those accessing the website through mobile devices, the card can be found at www.smctd.com/HolidayGreetings2015Full.
SamTrans and Caltrain serve more than 100,000 public transit passengers on an average weekday, and funding allocations from the Transportation Authority provide transportation improvements for residents throughout San Mateo County.
The Transit District is proud to serve its supportive, loyal and engaged customer base. The greeting card is our small way of saying thanks and wishing everyone the best during this holiday season.

About Caltrain: Owned and operated by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, Caltrain provides commuter rail service from San Francisco to San Jose, with limited commute service to Gilroy. Caltrain has enjoyed five years of consecutive monthly ridership increases, surpassing more than 60,000 average weekday riders earlier this year. While the Joint Powers Board assumed operating responsibilities for the service in 1992, the railroad celebrated 150 years of continuous passenger service in 2014. Planning for the next 150 years of Peninsula rail service, Caltrain is on pace to electrify the corridor, reduce diesel emissions by 97 percent by 2040 and add more service to more stations.
