    DRAFT 2023 Public Participation Plan (June Release)

    Public Participation Plan

    AMBAG incorporates public participation into all of its planning processes. The Public Participation Plan provides guidance in the structuring of regional transportation planning processes to ensure that, to the greatest extent possible, inter-agency consultation and public participation are an integral and continuing part of the regional transportation decision making process. The participation policies and procedures described in the plan are structured to comply with all applicable federal and state legislation, rules, and express the genuine regional value and interest for all residents to participate in the shaping and implementation of regional policies and decisions regarding the transportation system.

    AMBAG serves as the regional forum for the study and discussion of regionally significant issues, including housing, transportation, energy, water, and environmental quality. Elected officials from the eighteen cities and the three counties form the AMBAG’s Board of Directors. AMBAG’s mission states: “AMBAG provides strategic leadership and services to analyze, plan and implement regional policies for the benefit of the Counties and Cities of Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz, balancing local control with regional collaboration.” In pursuing its mission, AMBAG strives to inform and involve its jurisdictions and the general public throughout its various programs, projects, and work activities conducted by the agency.

    AMBAG and its regional planning partners seek the participation of a diverse set of communities with an interest in regional planning efforts, including lower income households, minority populations, Limited English Proficiency (LEP) populations, persons with disabilities, representatives from community and service organizations, tribal organizations, and other public agencies.

    2023 Public Participation Plan

    AMBAG invites residents to shape strategy for expanding public involvement.

    Your input is very valuable. How can AMBAG involve more people in transportation policies and investment choices? What are the best ways to encourage residents to participate in planning for the region’s future? AMBAG has released an online survey to hear your input as we prepare the 2023 Public Participation Plan. The survey is available through Friday, April 28, 2023. Take the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/95YGRLT. The survey is also available in Spanish at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6BHPQMF.

    AMBAG updates its Public Participation Plan (PPP) approximately every four years. Federal and state laws require AMBAG to adopt participation plans to give more people opportunities to be involved in the transportation planning process. AMBAG’s current PPP was adopted in 2019 and informs interested community members about how to engage in AMBAG’s wide range of planning and funding activities. 

    The Draft 2023 PPP will be released summer 2023 and will highlight planning milestones, along with public engagement opportunities, for the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy—the region’s long-range plan. AMBAG is expected to adopt the 2023 PPP in late fall 2023.

    This plan is still in progress

    Central Coast Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy Executive Summary Report

    Electric Vehicle Planning

    AMBAG holds a seat on the Steering Committee for the Monterey Bay Electric Vehicle Alliance (MBEVA). MBEVA is a grass-roots, public-private partnership comprised of diverse stakeholders in the tri-county region of Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties whose overall goal is to assure the region is EV-ready.

    AMBAG has prepared a suitability study that identifies the best places for electric vehicle charging stations throughout the tri-county area based on level of activity. The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure for the Monterey Bay Area study, funded by a Monterey Bay Area Unified Air Pollution Control District AB 2766 grant, has been incorporated into other EV plans being developed in the region and is used to help site locations for new EV charging stations.

    Sustainability Program

    The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments is committed to assisting jurisdictions achieve sustainability goals and reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in an equitable and cost effective manner.

    History

    The AMBAG Sustainability Program originated with the creation of the Energy Watch program in 2006. The AMBAG Energy Watch program was a partnership between AMBAG and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) funded under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission and designed to serve the energy efficiency needs of the AMBAG region as well as to help foster a commitment to sustainability in every AMBAG jurisdiction. The projects developed and funded by the AMBAG Energy Watch Program from its inception in 2006 to its sunset in 2020  have created more than 110 million annual kWh, which translates to 15 million dollars of yearly avoided utility costs.

    Program Initiatives and Sustainability Resources

    Currently, the AMBAG Sustainability Program is focused on completing Community-wide GHG inventories on behalf of AMBAG jurisdictions as well as on assisting school districts throughout the region with their participation in the California Clean Energy Jobs Act program. The following pages provide more information on specific program initiatives as well as additional resources on different sustainability topics.
