Still seems like a lot of parking spaces; perhaps some can be used for electric car charging and rideshare vehicles.

TransForm Oakland's own Little Las Vegas. Take a look at what the future may bring for the Oakland Airport Connector. Doppelmayr Cable Car (makers of the MGM CityCenter Shuttle and Mandalay Bay Tram) is part of the winning contract team.

Despite months of leading the fight for BART to consider a faster, more affordable alternative to their proposed Oakland Airport Connector project, TransForm was saddened towitness the $492,000,000 project approved on December 10, 2009.

I spoke against the project at the Oakland City Council meeting a month or two ago. It was a done deal. Stupid and wasteful, but a done deal. I applaud TransForm's efforts.

Livable Berkeley  New TransForm study: "Windfall For All: How Connected, Convenient Neighborhoods Can Protect Our Climate And Safeguard California's Economy"

The report finds that residents of the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Diego who have access to the best public transportation options are not only emitting far fewer gre...enhouse gas emissions on average, they are also spending billions less on transportation than residents who live in communities where public transportation is scarce.
