  • Calact Fall 2012 Program Final by Moore.Pdf
    Fall Conference 2012 WELCOME Photo: Richard Wood Dear CalACT members and conference attendees, Welcome to the Monterey Bay region and the 2012 CalACT Fall Conference and EXPO taking place September 18-21 at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa located in the City of Monterey’s historic Cannery Row. An extensive program has been planned for you, including informative workshops, networking opportunities, and a tour of Monterey- Salinas Transit’s unique “JAZZ” Bus Rapid Transit project which will be under construction during the conference. MST strives to provide a high-quality transportation network serving communities throughout the Central Coast region utilizing innovative partnerships with community stakeholders (including hospitality, agriculture, education, and military installations) to develop efficient community transportation and mobility management resources. In recent years MST has implemented a robust program of mobility management programs including travel training, and alternative transportation options for seniors and members of our disabled community through activities at the Bus Stop Shop located in Old Monterey. Find out more about mobility management by attending the ADA Roundtable being held in conjunction with the Fall Conference and EXPO September 18-21. Whether you come to Monterey to review best practices, share new ideas, discuss the state of public transportation, network with old friends, or meet new ones, I’m certain there will be a conference session or activity to meet your needs. If your interests lie in exploring coastal trails of Big Sur; visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium; stopping by the wineries of Carmel Valley; discovering the shops, boutiques, and restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula; or visiting the Steinbeck Museum and exploring the history of the Salinas Valley, there is an MST route that can take you there.
