Escondido CATS and Education COMPACT are hosting a unique meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, March 13 from 5:30 - 7:30pm to gain a better understanding of how Escondido residents currently travel and would like to travel. This is why you, residents and commuters, are so important! This is the opportunity to use your voice, and speak on your concerns about traffic, congestion, and other mobility issues. Participating will provide CATS and COMPACT critical information needed to advocate for positive transportation changes in Escondido. Being that 30% of Escondido families do not own cars, it is primitive that we find solutions to make traveling easier, faster, and safer. By participating you are helping our City of Escondido be eligible for $1.5 million to start making these improvements based on your priority concerns. We can only become eligible if we have enough involvement in these meetings and a certain number of surveys completed. If you live, work or interact with the City of Escondido Transportation system - use your voice and help your community!
