Commission Actions
September 2003

  • Authorized Phase 2 of the TransLink® universal transit fare card program. The action allows MTC to proceed with installing TransLink® readers throughout the networks of six transit agencies that participated in the pilot program for the smart card. (See related story.)
  • Adopted the General Aviation Update of the Regional Airport System Plan (general aviation refers to facilities serving noncommercial aircraft). The update calls on the interagency Regional Airport Planning Committee (which is sponsored by MTC) to take on a larger role with regard to ensuring compatible land uses in the vicinity of the Bay Area’s general aviation air-ports — the goal being to minimize noise problems while enhancing safety. While runway space is adequate, the update acknowledges the need to plan for the growing demand for corporate aircraft facilities and services.
    (MTC Resolution 3603)
