annual report

T
he Santa Cla
ra Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is conducting outreach for the
Community-Based Transportation Plan (CBTP)
in partnership with the City of Morgan Hill, and the Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce. The CBTP focuses on mobility needs in disadvantaged communities and communities of concern or areas in the city of Morgan Hill with a concentration of low-income, non-English speakers, elderly, or disabled communities.
A variety of outreach events are scheduled for VTA staff to meet with Morgan Hill residents and help determine if the currently available programs, services, and infrastructure are meeting their mobility needs.
If the VTA findings show that current services are not enough or are not the right kind of services for the community, VTA will partner with the City of Morgan Hill and develop a plan to bridge mobility gaps the community may experience in traveling in the city.
We encourage members of the Morgan Hill community to participate in the VTA
online survey.
Last week the City received numerous phones calls, emails and questions regarding a proposed project referred to as the Morgan Hill Technology Park. If you would like more information about this conceptual project and the Environmental Review Process please visit the
City website. If you would like to be added to a mailing list specific for this proposed project please sign up
here.
.
Make it a great week ahead! We look forward to your ongoing engagement and participation in all aspects of community life and local government in Morgan Hill.

CURRENT WATERING SCHEDULES
|
|
|
Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.

County of Santa Clara ReduceWaste.org Cup Campaign
Reduce Waste- Bring Your Own Cup
About 85% of the people in Santa Clara County own a
reusable
travel cup or mug, but only 15% actually use it regularly. So why the difference?
Remember your mug/cup
Even though most of us are supportive of using reusable cups and helping the environment, we have trouble remembering to bring our cup with us. We have busy lives and it's easy to forget.
Over 120 billion disposable cups are used every year in America, and each cup is only used for about an hour. Using a reusable cup regularly is one easy way to live up to your environmental values and join the movement to reduce use of disposables!
