OAKLAND, Calif., May 16, 2001...On Wednesday, May 23, 2001, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission will begin audiocasting all of its Commission and standing committee meetings live on the MTC Web site, <www.mtc.ca.gov>.

Computer users who have RealPlayer (Version 7 or higher) installed on their system can tune in to meetings simply by accessing the MTC Web site and clicking on the microphone icon on the home page.

"We believe this service will be a boon to many people in the Bay Area who want to follow our meetings but who can't attend in person," said MTC Chair Sharon Brown.

"Now, they will be able to tune in from their offices or homes and follow Commission discussions and actions from afar. At the same time, listeners also can access our meeting agendas, which are posted on the MTC Web site, and view them while they are listening to the meeting."

MTC is the transportation planning, coordination and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.
