Phase 3 of the regional planning process began on November 12, 2004 with the release of the Draft Transportation 2030 (T-2030) Plan and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). Several related reports will be released during the next two months: a detailed project "notebook", the Performance Measures Report, an environmental justice analysis, and a summary of the public outreach activities for the plan.
A copy of the Plan is available from MTC, http://www.mtc.ca.gov/T2030 or 510-464-7841. For previous Monitor articles on the T-2030 Plan, go to the Monitor homepage and enter "Transportation 2030" in the search box.
