Building Community Through Fun
Measure B - Perhaps you voted for it thinking it would improve transportation in your neighborhood. Perhaps you thought with all the money the VTA would be receiving they could put more buses on the routes in your neighborhood. Now you find out just the opposite is true.
What do you do?
Come tell the VTA HOW TO ALLOCATE your Measure B tax money so that a little bit of it will go to your neighborhood. Come tell them that you would like to see more than a little bit of the tax you pay returned as service to your neighborhood.
Come to the VTA Budgeting Meeting being held Wednesday May 8th at 55 W. Hedding St. in San Jose.

As a Nonpartisan body, we are united in our resolve to provide an open forum for citizen expression. In conjunction with our forum, we are resolved to establish and maintain effective lines of communication among Cambrian residents, Local Businesses, the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara and State Agencies. Using the vehicle of open dialogue, we hope to ascertain the concerns of our Citizens, gather the best information for analysis of those concerns, and forward our conclusions to government offices and/or other organizations.
