Trainings and Technical Assistance now available for
low-income communities
For community groups in the Bay Area's low-income and people-of-color
communities, TALC is offering free training for leaders and volunteers, and free
technical assistance to help you win the transportation your community needs.
Trainings cover a “Who's Who” of transportation decision makers and help you
identify the best opportunities to win the transportation changes you need.
Trainings are typically two hours and are individually tailored to your group’s
situation and issues. We can also give a brief
presentation as part of your organizations regular meeting.

Shape TALC's future direction
Help shape the direction of TALC's work. TALC's Board of Directors is leading a
comprehensive review of our platform, as well as formulating a new three-year
strategic plan. The three campaigns that generate the most interest from our
member group representatives will automatically become part of the strategic
plan. Additional initiatives will be chosen based on feedback, enthusiasm and
likely participation by member and affiliate groups, individual activists, as
well as allied organizations. The final strategic plan will be adopted by TALC's
Board of Directors in March 2005.

Weigh in on AC Transit's proposed BRT project along
International/East 14th/Telegraph
TALC has started a community outreach campaign in East Oakland to raise
awareness about AC Transit's East Oakland BRT project and to involve the
community in the design process to make sure community needs are met and the
project provides the greatest benefit. The proposed BRT project will reduce
travel time on the corridor by up to 40% and dramatically improve service along
the well-traveled route. To learn more about our campaign, to set up a
presentation, to request materials, or to simply talk about this project, please
contact Amber Crabbe, TALC's Program Coordinator, at
amber@transcoalition.org or (510) 740-3105.

Support safer streets in San Jose's Mayfair neighborhood
The Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is planning to build a light rail or
enhanced bus station to serve the Mayfair neighborhood, but will you feel safe
and comfortable walking or biking to the station once it is built? Will the
station's design and the new developments around it reflect the needs of our
community? This is a great opportunity for you to share your ideas and express
your opinions. Dinner and child care provided free. An English/Spanish
interpreter will be present.
Friday, October 29, 6:00-8:00 pm
