Clement:

Our Task Force group has been inactive for a while after completing
our official, but your email has prompted to me see if there is
interest among our group in getting back together to see if and how we
might support your efforts.

I was the chair of the Transit and Transportation Group for the
Mountain View Sustainability Task Force. I'm also a professional
transportation planner.

Let me hear back from our group and I'll get back to you. I'm sure I
can pull together some folks who would be interested in hearing your
vision and more immediately how we might take some baby steps in
helping you achieve the vision.

Thanks for contacting us.

Hi Cliff,

 

It sounds like a great idea but my focus right now is on trying to save Caltrain.  A shared neighborhood car is something Bruce talked about when our Task Force was active so I imagine he and maybe some of the other members might join you.

 

Good luck,

Shirley
