Hi John Marc, I just wanted to follow up with you on a conversation from a few months ago regarding the potential for the SF Green Party to sign on in support of the Transportation and Land Use Coalition's Regional Transportation Plan platform. I'm attaching the final platform and the endorsement form again for you to review/take to your board, etc. Please let me know if and when the SF Green Party will be considering this. We'd love to have your support as we fight to shift funding towards purposes that will make our region healthier and increase mobility. All the best, Carli __________________________ Carli Paine, Transportation Program Director Transportation and Land Use Coalition (TALC) 510.740.3150 x315 <http://www.transcoalition.org/> www.transcoalition.org Fighting Climate Change... and Winning a Better Bay Area!
