The Californer/10086923

OXNARD, Calif. - Californer -- The Ventura County Public Works Agency, Roads & Transportation (VCPWA-RT), which is responsible for maintaining roadways and safety within the county road right-of-way, needs feedback from the El Rio community to secure Active Transportation Program funding from the State of California.

These funds support projects that encourage active transportation which includes biking, walking, and safe access to public transportation (buses and trains), sidewalks for safer walking and biking as well as to build facilities that reduce greenhouse gases.

A survey is available both by mail and online for the EL Rio community to provide their feedback. The more responses received, the better chance VCPWA-RT has at securing the grant and starting on important safety projects.
