Hi John-Marc, Would you be able to relay the following message to your SFGP Transpo Committee and other transpo-minded folks? Thanks, Woody _____ From: MTC info [mailto:info@mtc.ca.gov] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 3:10 PM To: MTC info Subject: MTC Scoping Meetings for Transportation 2035 Environmental Impact Report Are there significant transportation-related environmental issues such as air quality, climate change or land use that MTC should explore in its environmental assessment of the Transportation 2035 Plan? Contribute to the discussion! MTC is preparing a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Transportation 2035 Plan, a master plan to guide the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area region's transportation investments over the next 25 years.

MTC currently is seeking comments on the scope and content of the environmental information that will be evaluated in the EIR.
