TRANSACTIONS NEWSLETTER ONLINE

July 2001
Transactions' New Look

Welcome to the first edition of MTC's retooled Transactions newsletter. We've slimmed down the format with the intention of delivering shorter, newsier stories on a more frequent basis. The makeover is part of a new push at MTC to reach out to a wider audience both with our publications and via direct public involvement opportunities.

Transactions' primary mission is to keep you informed about MTC's planning studies, funding programs and commuter services -- and tell you how you can get involved at key decision points. We'll also cover the activities of two MTC offshoots: the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) and the Service Authority for Freeways and Expressways (SAFE). We'll keep you posted on the major capital improvement program that BATA is spearheading for the region's toll bridges, and on the growth and performance of the region's Freeway Service Patrol tow-truck service and roadside call box network -- both of which SAFE oversees.

At the same time as reporting our own news, we intend to showcase interesting projects and programs sponsored by other transportation agencies around the Bay Area, and report on key developments in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., that will affect the Bay Area's roadway, bridge and public transit network, or the region's airports and seaports.

Whether you have a story idea, a comment on the format, an address correction or someone you think we should add to our mailing list, we would welcome hearing from you. You can reach the editor in the following ways:
