The Tahoe Transportation Plan has been approved by the Washoe County Board of Commissioners. Thank you, Alexis Hill. Now the hard work begins. How do we move these impressive plans forward? Priority (that means money) is being placed on increasing rideshare services through TARTConnect, a multi-use path between Incline Village and Crystal Bay, and better snow removal from our sidewalks.
Thanks to our web guru, Julie Malkin-Manning, IVCBA now has a page dedicated to transportation, check it out here. It has information such as rides to the airport, TART and TARTConnect, RTC Van Pools. Additionally, it is updated with the community issues around transportation right now. Looking for links to the TTD and the mobility hub? The Tahoe Transportation Plan? You can find them all here. IVCBA has a committee on Workforce Transportation. You can sign up by sending an email to info@ivcba.org.
CAB MEETINGS
I recommend attending the CAB, Citizen Advisory Board meetings held monthly by Washoe County. The May 2 meeting was a presentation by TRPAs Karen Fink, who spoke on the work being done around housing and zoning. The Washoe Tahoe Housing Partnership Roadmap will be presented at the CAB meeting on June 5. These are professional presentations with time for community input.
