Letter to Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC): Unmet Transit Needs Hearing, 2004

Dear Vic Kamhi and VCTC,

Please include these comments in the official record for the Unmet Transit Needs Hearing for 2004.

Needed: transit service between the cities of Oxnard and Ventura along thoroughfares where service is currently NON-EXISTENT -- Harbor Blvd and Victoria Avenue. (With the exception of limited times and on small segments of Victoria, for all practical purposes, these two MAJOR thoroughfares are devoid of transit service.)

Needed: more bus service for west Oxnard/Port Hueneme, generally, including Silver Strand, Channel Islands Harbor and other beach communities. This area is on the verge of tremendous growth but has only limited transit service -- and is WITHOUT SERVICE on Sundays!

Suggestion: regular, scheduled transit service on Channel Islands Blvd west of Ventura Road, perhaps in conjunction with regular service on Harbor Blvd to the city of Ventura.

Suggestion: regular bus service on Victoria Avenue between Silver Strand and the city of Ventura.

They never
owned cars!

Abraham Lincoln, Chief Pontiac and many other great and accomplished individuals lived long and happy lives without cars.

How about you? Take the next step, literally. Get out of your car and discover a new world, one where human interaction—instead of human isolation—revitalizes your spirit for community and a clean evnvironment.

Thank you City of Ventura, CA for implementing these new signs around town. Larger image »
