Huffman to Hold North Bay Transportation Summit with City, County, Federal Officials

June 25, 2014

Washington—Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) will hold a North Bay Transportation Summit on Monday, June 30, with city, county, and federal officials to discuss problems facing transportation  infrastructure in the North Bay, including ferry expansion to the congested Highway 101 Sonoma/ Marin Narrows. Huffman will be joined by representatives from Caltrans, SMART, Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District, among others.

Huffman also asked constituents from Sonoma and Marin Counties to fill out a survey, and share with him their thoughts on the state of the North Bay’s transportation infrastructure: what you’re happy with, what you think our priorities should be, and what we can work together to do better. Huffman will share the results of this survey at the summit. This survey can be filled out HERE.

Huffman will discuss the Highway Trust Fund, which funds transportation projects across the United States, is likely to go broke this September. This could be disastrous for the North Bay’s transportation infrastructure: federal funding helps support public transportation programs, regular maintenance of our highways, and urgent projects to ensure the safety of our roads and bridges.
