Sacramento's Real Estate Future

TRAFFIC SLOWING YOU DOWN?

Monday, March 6, 2006
Categorized in: Transportation Planning

 

If you find traffic troubling and don't like how it's slowing you down now you have chance to do something about it.  The Sacramento Area Council of Governments, or SACOG, is moving forward with the 2007 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP 2030) process.  This process will only work with active community support and involvement.  Sacramento residents are encouraged to get involved in the process by registering (follow the link here) to attend a local community MTP Workshop. 

 

You can do your part to insure the process is well thought out and addresses the important issues for a sustainable transportation future.  Our region's future transportation needs require real, substantive alternative transportation modes to bring about less congestion on the roadways.  

 

By participating you will be letting our policy makers know your thoughts.  Working together with a regional plan we can develop smart growth patterns and mitigate as much future traffic congestion and its attendant pollution as possible.

 

We cannot end traffic but if we get involved we can certainly make a difference in the future of our community!

 

 

Metro Transit Plan for 2030

They say that people don't plan to fail they just fail to plan.  Well, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, or SACOG, cannot be accused of not planning.  SACOG is moving forward with the 2007 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP 2030) process.  This process will only work with robust community involvement.  Community residents are encouraged to get involved in the process by registering (follow the link here) to attend a local community MTP Workshop. 

 

Do your part to insure the process is well thought out and addresses the important issues for a sustainable transportation future.  Our region's future transportation needs require real, substantive alternative transportation modes.  Do your part to let the policy makers know your thoughts.  Working together with a regional plan we can develop smart growth patterns and mitigate as much future traffic congestion and its attendant pollution as possible.

 

Get involved!  Make a difference in our community!

 

 

Ending Gridlock!

Don't get mad tomorrow when you're stuck in traffic.  Instead do something about it.  Go to the upcoming January 25th meeting of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.  At 3:00 PM will be discussion of the County General Plan.  The Environmental Council of Sacramento, or ECOS, will present its 2050 sustainable Transportation Vision.  
 
ECOS is working with the Supes and others concerned about our future to develop a new transporation paradigm for the entire Sacramento Region.  ECOS will be offering its plan for "Real Transportation Choices Rather Than Gridlock."  The ECOS Vision was modeled by U.C., Davis and published by the Mineta Institute in 2005.  To read the report in detail please visit http://www.ecosacramento.net/Vision.htm.
