Spent the day in Marina for the groundbreaking of the MST SURF! Project. This busway will transform travel along the Central Coast, connecting the cities of Salinas and Monterey — and all cities in between — with a dedicated busway. This project is critical for relieving congestion on Highway 1.

Stoked to have landed tix for Van Dyke Parks’s farewell show in LA. It’s been 15 years since I saw him at Cafe du Nord. What a career!

LOTS of ground covered today — both literally and figuratively as I traveled to Clovis and participated in CalSTA’s Transit Transformation Task Force meeting.
Today’s discussion focused on the topics of new sources of transit funding, reporting/oversight, fleet management and ZE transition. 1/x
