The future of transportation in Solano County and the Bay Area will be featured at a public workshop next week. The RTP will specify how billions of federal, state and regional tax dollars should be spent over the next 25 years to manage, maintain and improve the Bay Area transportation network. The network includes transit systems, highways, airports, seaports, railroads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Transportation affects many issues, such as air quality and land use.
The workshop will feature interactive graphic displays that illustrate transportation issues and that invite participants to express their views on proposed transportation projects in Solano County as well as on regional issues, such as how the transportation system affects the economy, the environment and social equity. A moderated public discussion will follow on choices and tradeoffs the county and region must make in deciding how to invest transportation dollars. MTC is the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. The Solano Transportation Authority is the local transportation planning agency for Solano County.
