"a $647 grant from the Federal Transit Administration"
This has to be a mistake. If not then I will pay the $647 myself to create 9,600 jobs.

And yet, you are still here. (Unless, of course, you are actually an out-of-state trollbot...)

I hope that the Carolyn Flowers corruption scandal does not fall though the cracks with this extension. To recap, after approving funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for Caltrain's “modernization program”, the LA Times published an article revealing that former FTA Administrator Carolyn Flowers, has suddenly been employed by AECOM, a major vendor to Caltrain. AECOM has a financial interest in the “modernization” project, which the grant will fund.
It reeks of corruption when a federal official approves a grant then takes a job with one of the beneficiaries of said grant. At the very least, Flowers should be dismissed and AECOM should be disqualified from working on the project.
