We salute the Air Resources Board for the creation of the new Sustainable Transportation Equity Program (STEP).
Congratulations to Toks Omishakin, Governor Newsom’s nominee for CalTrans director, which was announced earlier this month. Mr. Omishakin is a recruit from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, where he has been an unyielding champion of active transportation and complete streets. Prior to that, he served as director of healthy living initiatives for the Nashville Mayor’s Office for three years.
Communities in the Bay Area are making updates to Bike and Pedestrian Master Plans, and it is important for residents to weigh in to ensure their transportation needs are addressed. The city of Hayward has been engaged in a process for updating its plan that will conclude at the end of the year.
