Early Results Items that were identified in openended questions as working well include: the bike network with paths/trails that are improving and easy to use; off peak/ non commute travel works

73 Early Results Items that were identified in openended questions as working well include: the bike network with paths/trails that are improving and easy to use; off peak/ non commute travel works well; ferry and walking are often good options. Challenges in the open ended questions identified: traffic, access to the Richmond San Rafael Bridge, conflicts with bikes and vehicle, and addressing needs for our aging population.

Early Results Emerging technologies of interest: electric vehicles and bicycles, self driving cars, better transit route/arrival information, and on demand ridesharing and transit services.

74 Early Results Emerging technologies of interest: electric vehicles and bicycles, self driving cars, better transit route/arrival information, and on demand ridesharing and transit services. Answers for what would make a better future: Richmond San Rafael Bridge access, planning for aging populations, transit investments (bus, ferry and SMART train), more TDM strategies (carpooling, last mile solutions, transit information), more support/infrastructure for walk/bike trips, and road maintenance.
