What: Give input on MTC's Regional Transportation Plan
Date:
Friday April 22, 2011
Time:
8:00 a.m.
Place:
City of San Pablo Council Chambers, 13831 San Pablo Ave. 94804
Flyer:
Click here
for all four locations and contact information.
Per Nancy: "...rare opportunity to give input on MTC's Regional Transportation Plan, which guides how transportation funds are spent for the whole Bay Area.
In the past, only government agencies have had input -- this is the first time that "non-governmental organizations" have been specifically invited.
My sense is that the decision-makers at the MTC level have very little sense of how the community feels about how it gets around the Bay Area -- and you can let them know what you think. This could be eye-opening for them. There are 4 meetings in different parts of Contra Costa County, hope you can make it to the one nearest you. Please pass this along and encourage your friends and neighbors to attend."
