Former Caltrain exec charged with allegedly building secret apartment in train station – By Alec Regimbal (SFGate) / March 29, 2024
Authorities say the man had help from a former contractor with the agency, who also allegedly stayed in a secret apartment and was charged
Authorities say a former Caltrain executive, with the help of a former employee of a Caltrain contractor, used public money to secretly build apartments in two of the agency’s train stations on the Peninsula.
San Mateo County Superior Court records show that Joseph Vincent Navarro, a former Caltrain administrator, has been charged with felony theft of public funds. Seth Andrew Worden, who worked at TransitAmerica Services, Inc., the agency’s rail service provider, is accused of assisting Navarro and faces two counts of the same charge.
San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe told SFGATE that each man had their own secret apartment in different stations owned by Caltrain along its Peninsula route. He said Navarro’s apartment was a remodeled office space in the agency’s historic Burlingame station, while Worden’s alleged apartment was in its Millbrae station.
