Yesterday evening, ten people died in a collision between a Silverado Stages tour bus and a FedEx semi truck on Interstate 5 in Orland. The area is 90 miles north of Sacramento.
The tour bus was filled with students and their chaperones headed to Humboldt State University on a campus tour. It was one of three tour buses headed to the campus. Those who perished so far are five students and five adults – including the drivers of the collided semi and tour bus.
Let all of us in Silicon Valley and nationwide mourn those who perished. Also, let’s keep those who survived in our thoughts and prayers.

(Apologies for the delay in posting this. There have been some personal issues I have had to deal with.)
At our group meeting last Thursday, we discussed the need to get the word out on being safe as a pedestrian. This issue is in light of recent and tragic incidents such as:
More on this particular incident in a later post. Meanwhile, read and understand these safety tips from Caltrain on how to cross railroad tracks – especially if you drive a car.
We also discussed VTA’s plans for transit service to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and a meeting in Mountain View April 9 to determine transit needs in the Palo Alto and Mountain View area. Of the latter, member Michael Ludvig recommended increased service frequency on the 51 bus line (Moffett Field-De Anza College).
Lots of catching up to do…
