Transportation Town Hall Meeting

As you are well aware, California's crumbling infrastructure is one of the top issues facing North Bay communities.
 

That's why we're working towards a long term solution that will provide cities, counties and the State with desperately needed resources to start digging out of the massive deferred maintenance backlog that’s impacting our local roads, streets and highway system.

We're bringing together state and local transportation leaders to answer your questions about the challenges and solutions regarding California's crumbling infrastructure.
 

Here are the details:
