The SamTrans Board of Directors appointed Belmont Mayor Charles Stone to serve as a representative on the Joint Powers Board (JPB) at their December meeting.
Stone will represent the San Mateo County Transit District on the JPB beginning in January. Stone replaces JPB Member Rose Guilbault, who has served on the JPB since 2014.
The JPB is the governing body of Caltrain, the commuter rail service that operates in San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Caltrain is managed by the San Mateo County Transit District, in partnership with the city and County of San Francisco and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. The nine-member board of directors is composed of three members from each of the three partner agencies.
