CCTA’s “TDM 2.0” Proposal

that both staff and the WCCTAC TAC had many
concerns about the TDM 2.0 proposal as
described in the attached TAC letter to the
Board. He also noted, however, that staff, Board
Chair Fadelli, and Director Kelley all recently had
productive discussions with the CCTA Executive
Director about these concerns. Staff explained

both the WCCTAC TAC and the WCCTAC Board in
