I'm, a registered civil engineer who has work
much ed on land development projects in the City of
Petaluma and elsewhere. (For of my early career, I relied .on transit for my daily
commute, ; first on the BART system and then on the: Seattle.- bus sy,.stem.)' I'm keenly aware of
the connections between land development and "transit. First; transit should; provide options
foe the "residents;and employees of new or redeveloped land uses. Second, - and more
importantly, transit should 7be,a factor in the configuration of the, new orredeveloped land
uses. Less car- dependent lifestyles should not only be accommodated, but encouraged.

Current operational, and budget �issues.are of interest, although I admit that I'll have a learning
curve on these issues.
Of greater interest is long -term strategic planning, especially with approaching SMART
system, to- maximize the future utilization of the transit system and to provide transportation
alternatives for Petaluma residents. This is an area ,in wrhich _I have familiarity through
membership in the Urban`Land Institute and personal.stuidy.,
