Please join us on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 to hear Martin Tuttle discuss the California Interregional Blueprint (CIB). The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is working with its partners to create the CIB -- an innovative planning process designed to respond to Senate Bill 391 and create more sustainable mobility solutions. Using new tools and technology, Caltrans and its partners are asking how all transportation modes can work together more effectively. The CIB isn't just another plan. It's an opportunity to create a new vision for California's future transportation system.
