Speaker: Sacramento City Councilmember Roger Dickinson
We’re happy to host Roger, who joined the Sacramento City Council last month.
Roger was a Sacramento County Supervisor, and a State Assemblymember.
Roger has been active in promoting public transit, having served as president of “Friends of Light Rail”, board chair of SacRT (Regional Transit), and board member of Sacramento Metro Advocates for Rail and Transit (SMART).
As city councilmember, he now serves on the boards of the air district (SMAQMD), Sacramento Transit Authority, and SacRT.
We look forward to hearing Roger’s plans for his new role, and to an exchange of ideas relating to ECOS priorities.
ECOS priorities include: transit-oriented infill development vs. sprawl (Natomas concerns, etc.);
Funding for transit, active transportation, bridges (I Street, Broadway, Truxel), Sac Valley station.
