SUMMARY:

The Annual Report is a public outreach tool that the Agency produces each year to highlight the Agency’s accomplishments and its goals for the following year. The report is distributed to Monterey County residents and posted on the Agency’s website. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Costs to design, print, translate and distribute the 2017 Annual Report are included in the Agency budget in the amount of $56,000. 

DISCUSSION:

The Annual Report is a public outreach tool that the Agency produces since 2005. Each year the report has a theme which summarizes the Agency’s accomplishments and future planning activities. The dual English/Spanish language report is distributed by mail to Monterey County residents and used in other outreach efforts. The report is also posted on the Agency’s website.

 

The overall objective of the 2017 Transportation Agency Annual Report is to increase awareness of the Transportation Agency’s presence in Monterey County and build upon the Agency’s reputation of trust and fiscal responsibility. The focus on this year’s report is to thank the community for investing in transportation safety through their vote of support for Measure X. Some of the highlights in the report are the Transportation Safety & Investment Plan, the Measure X Citizens Oversight Committee, Measure X’s Implementation Timeline and transportation projects that are putting Monterey County on the “Road to eXcellent Transportation.”
