Steer your transportation future
Would you downsize your house to reduce your commute? What’s more important – preserving open space or providing adequate housing?
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission wants to know what the top priorities in transportation in the next 30 years are for residents and is asking them to take an online survey. The responses will help guide how the commission will invest and plan to develop transportation in the nine-county Bay Area through 2035. Access the survey: www.mtc.ca.gov/planning/2035_plan/poll.htm. Details: http://www.mtc.ca.gov
