The idea of a “one-stop” facility where you can hop on light rail or transfer from bus to train, connecting you to Sacramento, Bakersfield, and everywhere in between, may become a reality. You’re invited to assist the project team in evaluating the compatibility of a multi-modal facility within our City, and how the facility may meet current and future transit demands and connect to employment centers and key destinations throughout the region. For upcoming meetings and project information, visit www.elkgrovecity.org/multimodal, or email or call Tom Metcalf at tmetcalf@elkgrovecity.org or 478-2281.
