PUBLIC HEARINGS

Public Hearing:
Unmet Transit Needs in Solano County

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) will hold a public hearing in Solano County to receive oral or written testimony that identifies or comments on unmet public transit needs that may exist within the county that are reasonable to meet.

The hearing is required prior to MTC’s allocation of Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds for streets and roads projects during fiscal year 2011-12. These funds are available to the county and to the cities within the county to support public transit and paratransit services. If MTC determines that there are no unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet within the jurisdiction to which the funds are made available, the funds also may be used for purposes related to streets and roads.

MTC’s allocation decisions will be based on consideration of testimony received at the hearing, review of written comments submitted to MTC, and on, but not limited to, the Transportation Development Act guidelines, a determination of project consistency with MTC’s Transportation 2035 Plan, Commission policy, and Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit requirements. The Transportation 2035 Plan may be reviewed at major public libraries in the county, or online.

The public hearing is scheduled as follows:
