LWV Bay Area’s Annual League Day 2025   Regional Government: How Does It Affect You?  When: Saturday, March 8th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pmWhere: Via Zoom Register Here Get current information on how MTC-ABAG makes decisions that affect all of us.  MTC and ABAG are partner regional agencies with a single staff to better advance local and regional priorities for transportation, housing and the environment while driving collaborative solutions. ABAG supports regional planning and cooperation among the 9-county Bay Area while MTC directly distributes more than one billion dollars a year to public transit agencies and other recipients, and, prioritizes requests from local agencies for millions more in state and federal funds. https://www.bayareametro.gov/ Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from members of the MTC-ABAG executive team on how the agency operates while maintaining separate governing boards. We are thrilled to announce that both ABAG President Belia Ramos, Napa County Supervisor, and incoming MTC Chair Sue Noack, Mayor of Pleasant Hill, have confirmed their participation. Specific examples of funding in local jurisdictions will be presented as well as an update on a proposed regional transportation funding measure.[[{“fid”:”3514094″,”view_mode”:”preview”,”fields”:{“format”:”preview”,”field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]”:”State Senator Becker”,”field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]”:”Josh Becker”,”field_file_description[und][0][value]”:””},”type”:”media”,”field_deltas”:{“1”:{“format”:”preview”,”field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]”:”State Senator Becker”,”field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]”:”Josh Becker”,”field_file_description[und][0][value]”:””}},”attributes”:{“alt”:”State Senator Becker”,”title”:”Josh Becker”,”class”:”media-element file-preview floatleft”,”data-delta”:”1″}}]]The keynote address by Senator Josh Becker, SD 13, chair of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee is first on the agenda at 10:00 am.
