"We need to make sure that people have basic necessities, that residents are able to get across the street and back home safely, where you're not dependent on a car to get around." - Randy Torres-Van Vleck

"We’ve got a lot to do. AB 805, which was about power and what votes look like at SANDAG, was an incredible campaign and helped a lot of climate friendly policies move forward. We’re in a much better position right now with power than we were a few years ago. - Randy Torres-Van Vleck

When traveling by bus across the I-805 & the SR-94 this year, commuters noticed their trip looked a bit different—and faster! During peak hours, the Rapid Route 225 now use shoulder lanes to breeze through traffic thx to resident advocacy. See report: cityheightscdc.org/stories/reside…
