STA Transportation Equity Guiding Principles
Approved by the STA Board on October 9th, 2019

3- STA values and commits to meaningful participation of Solano County’s vulnerable populations in all aspects of mobility and infrastructure planning to ensure that disadvantaged communities unique and unmet needs are prioritized.
4- STA supports locally-decided land uses that stimulate economic opportunity and produce affordable housing within a range of housing options with accessible connections for all, leading to downtowns, public rail stations, and along major bus service corridors, in conjunction with acting to protect Solano County’s key agricultural and open space areas.
5- STA routinely measures, evaluates, and clearly presents transportation performance results for public review to insure that its policies, plans, and budgets are fair, effective, and reflect community-focused priorities of Solano County residents and businesses.
