From Karen Fink, Transportation Planner for the the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA):
The Tahoe Metropolitan Planning Organization has posted its second draft Public Participation Plan on its website at. The comment period is open until May 7, 2008.
The Public Participation Plan is a document that defines a process for providing citizens, affected public agencies, and other interested parties with opportunities to be involved in the regional transportation planning process. The document was developed based on input gathered during the March 2008 Transportation Roundtables, on-line and written surveys collected in early 2008, and comment on an initial draft circulated in August, 2007. Most importantly, the document should reflect the many suggestions made by different members of the public and public stakeholders as to the best ways to communicate public participation opportunities.
Tahoe residents, please read the plan, and send comments to Karen Fink at kfink@trpa.org, or write to

Terry McAfee, of the Nevada Bicylce Coalition, writes:
The RTC 2040 Plan Steering Committee will be discussing the Bicycle and Pedestrian Element of the Long Term Plan on April 10th at 6:30pm on the 4th floor of the National Bowling Stadium. THIS IS WHERE AREA BIKE LANES AND PATHS ARE BORN. If lots of bicyclists come to this meeting it will send a clear message to the RTC and the Committee that good bicycling facilities are an important part of the Truckee Meadows transportation system and should be adequately funded.
So please come. You need not speak. Having a room full of passionate bicyclists will say all the Committee needs to hear. The meetings generally end between 8:30 and 9:00pm. Parking is available in the Bowling Stadium building. The entrance is on 4th Street. If you ride a bicycle to the event, bring it with you to the meeting.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! If you have any questions, please give Terry a call at 775-287-7142 or e-mail at tmcafee@gmail.com.
