If you live or work in Alameda County, consider filling out this survey for the Alameda Countywide Transportation Plan Update.  The ACTP is a very important document which feeds into the Bay Area Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and opens the door to billions in federal, state, and regional funds.  Getting the Oakland Streetcar project in the next RTP would be an important step forward.

After each question, as well as in question 10, you can name specific projects that you'd like to see included in the plan. Some suggestions:
-Oakland Streetcar
-Broadway Shuttle
-International Blvd. TOD-Streetscape Plan
-BART station TOD projects (MacArthur, West Oakland, Coliseum, Lake Merritt)
-Infill BART Station in Oakland's San Antonio district
-MacArthur Blvd. Bus Rapid Transit

The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is open until March 15th.

Today the Bay Area's Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) awarded $33 million in new Climate Initiative Grants to innovative projects which reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.  Projects such as smart parking management systems, bicycle sharing programs, and electric taxis received funding.  This program represents yet another possible funding source for the Oakland Streetcar moving forward.
