I have lived in cities <br /> with public transportation available to all at a low cost, and in places where residents must be <br /> car-dependent. I do not have experience specifically in transportation planning, but I have lived <br /> in several different parts of Orange County and have used the roads and various types of public <br /> transportation for nearly 20 years. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I have always had an interest in how cities plan for adequate transportation, and in the logistics <br /> and management of public transportation. Though I don t think there is a simple solution, I don t <br /> believe our County has quite maximized opportunities for providing public transportation to <br /> residents. I would appreciate the opportunity to know more about the needs of the County, and <br /> to develop careful plans to improve transportation in the future. Traffic, and the associated <br /> noise and pollution, is an ongoing and increasing problem in Hillsborough. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I live off of a major road in just outside of Hillsborough, and would be completely landlocked if I <br /> didn t have a car. I would prefer to bike and use public transit, but safety and lack of availability <br /> are ongoing barriers. I would be happy to learn more about transportation challenges, and to <br /> hear and represent the needs of my neighbors in Orange County. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br />
