AWARD OF RECOGNITION

Alameda County Transportation Authority gives
TALC an Award of Recognition for our
effort to improve and then pass Measure B, Alameda
County's 2000 Transportation Sales Tax Initiative.
TALC united environmental and social justice
groups to shift $186 million in the proposed 2000
transportation sales tax to public transit,
paratransit, bicycle and pedestrian safety. The
new measure received consensus support and,
following a grassroots campaign led TALC, Alameda
County voters passed it with a record-breaking 81%
yes vote. |

AWARD
OF MERIT
|
|
|
Coalition leaders receive Metropolitan
Transportation Commission's Award of
Merit for "involving and giving voice to"
low-income communities in transportation issues.
This award was in response to a ten-month effort
that united environmental and social justice
groups from all nine counties. Ultimately, MTC
Commissioners voted unanimously to accept TALC's
recommendation to allocate an additional $375
million to maintain our transit systems - the
first time in MTC's history that Commissioners
rejected the recommendation of their own staff in
favor of one from a community-based organization.
