Transportation Forum in West Sacramento, June 24

The California Transportation Commission (CTC), Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) and Sacramento Metro Chamber want to hear from Sacramento Valley residents about how they view current highway and road conditions, and proposals to stabilize funding for transportation-system repairs and maintenance.

These organizations are hosting a public forum at the West Sacramento City Hall Galleria, 1110 West Capitol Ave., West Sacramento, on Wednesday, June 24 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. to discuss and generate feedback on those issues.

Topics to be covered at the forum include the local, regional and state role in funding road projects and maintenance; the impacts and reasons for California’s and Sacramento Valley’s deteriorating transportation system; and proposed short-term and longer-term solutions to stabilize road repair and maintenance funding.

Speakers at the event include CTC Commissioner Jim Earp, CTC Executive Director Will Kempton, Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty, SACOG Board Chairman Don Saylor, Sacramento Metro Chamber Vice President for Public Policy Chris Worden, El Dorado County Transportation Commission Executive Director Sharon Scherzinger and Placer County Transportation Planning Agency Executive Director Celia McAdam.
