This letter from several California state legislators and local officials urges the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to prioritize improvements to the Dumbarton Corridor transit project. It references a recent feasibility study that found upgrades to highways, buses, and potential rail across the Dumbarton Bridge could serve over 32,000 daily transit riders. Improving the Dumbarton Corridor is argued to help address the region's worsening traffic congestion and better connect jobs in Silicon Valley with communities in the East Bay. Funding would need to come from various local, regional, state and federal sources, as well as potentially through public-private partnerships.
