Last Thursday’s Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Board Of Directors‘ meeting had some interesting actions approved. The last of the actions approved should not come as a surprise to those who have followed us since 2001.

VTA Reform Back On the Table

“The time is always right to do the right thing.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Remember efforts last year on Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) governance reform via AB 1091? VTA reform is back in play again in the State Legislature, thanks to California State Assembly Member Marc Berman.
Assembly Member Berman will have a town hall to discuss this new effort at VTA Governance Reform. That town hall takes place on Wednesday from 6pm-7pm. Speakers at the Town Hall will include:
- Current VTA Board Chair and San Jose Vice Mayor Charles “Chappie” Jones
- Former VTA Board member and current Santa Clara City Council member Teresa O’Neill
- Amalgamated Transportation Union (ATU) Local 265 President & Business Agent John Courtney
RSVP to make yourself part of that town hall Wednesday evening at 6pm.
Afterward, read more on why we continue to support governance reform at VTA.
