No NNTMA Auxiliary Shuttle to the Golden 1 Center After careful consideration, market research, a rider survey and critical analysis, the NNTMA has decided not to pursue a park and ride shuttle to Kings’ games at the Golden 1 Center this season. We encourage residents to consider the ridesharing options available in North Natomas, including carpooling, Uber, Lyft or a combination of these alternatives used in conjunction with Sacramento Regional Transit's Route 11. |

Walk to School Programs Hit the Ground Running with New Parent Champs
• Regency Park Elementary – Two Feet Tuesdays Of course, these brain-revving, environment-saving programs would not be possible without our new and returning parent champions. Please give the following people a friendly “hi” or a pat on the back: Jaskaran (Natomas Park Elementary), Elena (Westlake Charter School), Mike (Heron School), Shilvana (Regency Park Elementary), Arlene (Witter Ranch Elementary), and Yvonne (H. Allen Hight Elementary). These parents of students are our ambassadors and truly instrumental in nurturing the idea that “a lifetime of being active begins on the way to school.” |

Measure B: 3.6 Billion over 30 Years for Road and Transportation Repairs As part of our mission to keep residents informed, the NNTMA would like residents to consider upcoming ballot Measure B, the Road Maintenance & Traffic Relief Act of 2016 -- a countywide transportation plan on the ballot this November. If approved, this Measure would raise about 3.6 billion over 30 years from taxpayers from a one half percent sales tax that would go towards repaving streets, repair aging roads, strengthening bridges, and building new highways, connectors and interchange projects specifically on the Capital City Freeway, Interstates 5 and 80, and Highways 50 and 99. Measure B would also provide funding for Light Rail improvement and expansion, as well as other transit services. A large component of the program includes “Fix it First” projects, high priority projects that would be completed before moving on to additional identified repairs. Go here and scroll to page A-8 to see the list of “Fix if First” projects. |

Have you spotted one of our brightly colored Flyer Shuttles in North Natomas or Downtown Sacramento and been curious to give it a try? Now's your chance, risk free! 
Often, when people think of bike riding weather, they think of spring and summer. However, we think the riding gem is just around the corner -- Fall. The changing colors, mild temps and lack of pollen make it pleasant and invigorating in every way. This is why we make sure our beloved 
As we say “so long” to summer, we say “hello!” to Walk to School programs in North Natomas. Programs are offered at six area schools.
Blueberry fritters, a cool breeze and family bonding. That’s just a partial agenda for our upcoming 
Recently, our active transportation enthusiast and NNTMA board member, Scott Dosick, announced he will be moving on to other important projects and time commitments. Dosick provided us with years of invaluable service and dedication, and was (is!) a champion of alternative transportation. In fact, for the second time in the last 10 years he can claim to be a zero emission commuter. He currently drives an electric vehicle and hasn't bought a tank of gas in over two years.
We are proud to announce that our locally produced Project Ride Smart Video series has garnered national accolades, having won the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) TMA Marketing & Outreach Award. This national award acknowledges extraordinary and innovative work by leading organizations and individuals in the transportation industry.
