Maps and Stats Galore

MTC and Caltrans have issued their annual compendium of transportation statistics, with the latest edition — titled Bay Area Transportation: State of the System 2006 — covering the period 2001 to 2005. “We take data from many different sources, some of which was previously released, and compile it into one handy reference document,” said Joe Curley, project editor.

New Maps Highlight Bay Trail Adventures

Summertime, and the bikin’ is easy — thanks to new Bay Trail maps that give bicyclists, as well as walkers, skaters and wildlife watchers, a fresh look at sites and adventures along San Francisco and San Pablo bays.

A total of 40 miles have been added since the last Bay Trail maps were published in 2003. A full 290 miles of the Bay Trail have been completed — more than half the 500 mile total route that eventually will link the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties and 47 cities that touch the Bay.

The back sides of the maps feature 40 recommended routes to inspire and guide shoreline recreation, with details on distance, trail surface, natural and historic points of interest, and parking and transit access.

The six-map set is priced at $15, and individual maps are $3.50 plus tax and shipping. To order, visit www.baytrail.org or call the Association of Bay Area Governments at 510.464.7900.
