The Sacramento Active Transportation Commission (SacATC) on Thursday, January 18, was just posted. It is not possible for me to post something on every meeting, and I usually do so only if there is something of particular importance to me. For tomorrow’s SacATC, it is the work zone policy. It may be useful to others to see a schedule of meetings that I often or sometimes attend. For all of these meetings, they may be cancelled or rescheduled, so it is alway best to check before attending. Though most meetings are viewable online, either during or after, fewer and fewer offer public comment, except ahead of time or in person, at the meeting.

Advocacy

Sacramento Transit Advocates and Riders (STAR) maintains a calendar of events of interest to transit advocates, at https://sacramentotransitadvocates.groups.io/g/main/calendar, and you can subscribe to that calendar if you wish.

You are welcome to add meetings that you think would be of interest to transportation and housing advocates, in comments. Certainly no one needs more meetings to attend, but my experience is that if you attend a meeting regularly, people get to know you and your interests, and you can really make a difference.
