6.4.3 Planning Activities - Report out on MTC’s response to our Equity Priority Communities (EPC) concerns letter. There is now a MTC staff recommendation for an EPC additive approach for PBA 2050+. This recommendation addresses our concerns, see attached slide for details.
The next Board Meeting will be February 10th. January Board meeting is canceled and instead sub-committee meetings will be held throughout January 2025.
More to come at the February Board meeting on our 2024 Strategic Visioning and Organizational Alignment efforts including a rebranding to refer to our organization as:
Sonoma Climate & Transportation (SC&T). The proposal for Board consideration would be in branding only and all contract and legal actions would continue as SCTA/RCPA.
