Community Workshops
The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) conducted a series of collaborative community workshops in May 2013 to initiate a regional dialogue about future growth and how we should prioritize future transportation improvements. Another round of workshops was held in July 2013 to continue the planning process and explore initial scenarios that are based on feedback from the first round of workshops. A third round of workshops was held in March 2014 to review and receive input on the Draft 2035 Moving Forward Monterey Bay Plan.
