Welcome the Northern California Chapter!
Hello, my name is Melissa Foley, and I am President of the Northern California Chapter. Welcome to our “West Coast is the Best Coast” Chapter!
Our chapter is dedicated to improving commuter options, enhancing sustainability, and fostering collaboration among transportation professionals, stakeholders, and community members throughout our region.
Here, you’ll find valuable resources, information about upcoming events, and insights into our initiatives aimed at making commuter transportation more efficient and accessible for everyone. We are committed to addressing the unique challenges we face in Northern California.
I invite you to explore our site, get involved in our initiatives, and connect with fellow members who share your passion for creating a more sustainable transportation future.
