The workshop is an opportunity for the public to share ideas about building a transportation plan that will build multi-modal connectivity for all users, the press release said, and, in turn, stronger communities and local and countywide economies with better access to transportation, housing, jobs, and educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities.
