Getting Around Sonoma County in 2020...
A Vision For Our Future

Conclusion

Listening to the hundreds of people who have spoken at public meetings about transportation over the past 15 years reveals one thing: everyone wants a system that will get them from their front-door to where they want to go in the quickest, least expensive, environmentally sensitive and hassle-free method. They also want to use a mode of transportation that meshes with their life style -- whether they are a construction worker who needs to carry hundreds of pounds of tools to each job, a retired person who prefers not to drive, a single mom who drops-off kids at daycare or a student who likes to study while commuting.
