Transportation

By Jane Meyer Kennedy

Candidate for Council Member; City of Campbell

This information is provided by the candidate
My role as Vice-Chair of the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has required negotiations with Federal and State agencies while balancing Campbell's transportation needs with those of the Bay Area Counties.

Serving as Vice-Chair of the VTA Board of Directors, I have been able to address the West Valley's transportation issues through:

1 Obtaining state funding for Light rail stations in Campbell; 2 Negotiating extension and funding of 26M for Light rail to Winchester;.

3 Protecting higher traffic flow volumes on Hamilton at the future Light rail station;

4 Supporting VTA's programs for Zero Emission Bus Program, low-floor train and buses, with easy access for all; and

5 Strengthening Campbell's negotiating position for the widening of Highway 17 to remove bottlenecks.

As Campbell's representative, I have been selected by the City Mayors and Managers of the West Valley Cities to be Chair of VTA 2003, should I be re-elected to office.
