Federal Budget Proposal Would Help Build Central Subway, BART to San Jose

Obama's proposed budget has some numbers in it that local transit-o-philes will either love or lambast, depending on how quickly they want to get from Chinatown to the Ballpark and how they feel about the 30-Stockton: The President's budget sets aside an easy $200 million to fund the city's central subway, which would put it on track for full funding according to CBS5.

Meanwhile, car-free Fremonters (are there any?) wanting to go see Body Worlds at the Tech museum should get excited that the budget also includes $130 million to kick off the BART extension from Fremont to San Jose. That $130 million would be the first installment of a possible $900 million to fully fund the extension.
