E.P.A. Transportation Plan Meetings to be Held in January

The San Mateo County Transit District in partnership with regional and local agencies is looking for innovative ideas to connect the city of East Palo Alto with new transportation options.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is working with SamTrans, the City of East Palo Alto and other agencies to prepare a 'Community-Based Transportation Plan' (Oprima aqui para Espaņol) for East Palo Alto. Through a collaborative planning process with community members and agency stakeholders, this plan will present recommendations for improving transportation in the East Palo Alto community.

A series of three public workshops are scheduled in early January to discuss transportation needs and solutions in East Palo Alto. The workshops will be an opportunity for interested members of the public to identify gaps in the transportation network, along with strategies and solutions to address them.

The public workshops are scheduled as follows:

Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2004
12:30 p.m. - 2 p.m.
East Palo Alto Senior Center
550 Bell St.
East Palo Alto

Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2004

Saturday, Jan. 10, 2004

Additional workshops will be held in spring 2004 to present the 'Community-Based Transportation Draft Plan' before submitting the plan to MTC for consideration.
