We need your help in fighting another poorly conceived highway widening project in San Mateo County - the 101/92 Direct Connector in San Mateo/Foster City. This project is expensive, unpopular, and bad for the environment; it will also increase traffic on highways and local roads in San Mateo County.

Caltrans, SMCTA, and C/CAG have proposed construction of new Express Lanes connecting 92 and US 101. The project is expected to cost over $200 million. Please tell our elected leaders know that you oppose this project for a variety of reasons:

- Bad for neighborhoods, as the project may require eminent domain of residents' property

- Bad for taxpayers, especially when we can't fund grade separations or street safety projects near schools; meanwhile, Caltrain and BART are in financial peril

- Bad for the environment, as it will increase auto traffic, increasing GHG emissions and air pollution in equity priority neighborhoods adjacent to the highway

- Bad for traffic, as more East Bay commuters drive to jobs on the Peninsula instead of taking transit; when crashes occur on the highway, this incremental traffic will clog local streets

- Bad for our safety and quality of life, as more non-locals will drive on our local roads, increasing congestion and traffic violence for those who walk and bike.

Thanks for taking action and emailing our elected officials through this form.
