The South Bay Association of Chambers of Commerce (SBACC) urged Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer today to support the inclusion of $14.2 million within the reauthorization of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) for the South Bay Regional Intermodal Transit Centers Project.

The much needed Regional Transit Centers located in the cities of Redondo Beach and Torrance will make public transportation more efficient and convenient thereby encouraging more people to make use of the transportation options available in the region. The benefits to the South Bay region are many including increasing mobility options, easing traffic congestion, enhancing job access, reducing gasoline consumption, and improving overall air quality.

The South Bay Regional Intermodal Transit Centers Project will serve as a positive impact on the economic vitality of the cities throughout the South Bay.
