MONTEREY COUNTY – The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) series of events seeking community input on the Monterey County Active Transportation Plan to help make local streets and roadways safer for people walking and biking in their communities begins this weekend.

The series of events beginning Saturday and Sunday and continuing  into the fall include tabling at community events, the formation of small community focus groups, and  the release of a county-wide bilingual survey in both English and Spanish. The planning team will table at one community event in each of the 12 cities in the county and two community events in the unincorporated County. The planning team will also host one focus group in each of the 12 cities and two in the unincorporated county.

Members of the public are encouraged to help develop the active transportation network by finding TAMC’s table at a community event or joining a focus group in their city. The focus groups will take a deeper dive into the analysis that led to the proposed active transportation network and potential solutions to common challenges community members face.
