Public input wanted on proposed Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee

Public Hearings: Wednesday, March 31 6:30 p.m. Fremont Library 2450 Stevenson Boulevard Fremont Thursday, April 15 6:30 p.m. Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 3 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza (14th Street, between Broadway and Clay Street)

The Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) is considering the placement of a measure on the November 2 ballot for a $10 Vehicle Registration Fee. The proceeds from the fee would be used for local transportation and public transit improvements throughout Alameda County.

The fee would generate up to $11 million a year.

The ACCMA is seeking broad public input in the development of the "expenditure plan," which will detail how the funds can be spent.

There are three ways the public can provide input:

• Attend a public hearing (dates on right)
• Attend a presentation at city council or other local agency meetings.
• Submit comments online

Transit could benefit from the measure, and the bus-riding community and its supporters are encouraged to make their needs and interests known at this time.
