SEKHON 5870 BRUCE DRIVE • PC_EASANTON, CA 94588 • 925-324-2723 September 16,2005 The County Connection 2477 Arnold Industrial Way Concord, CA 94520-5326 Dear CCCTA Board of Directors, I first learned of the openings for the Citizen's Advisory Committee through the City of San Ramon's City Council meeting. 1 immediately became interested in obtaining an application and introducing myself as a possible candidate for the position. As a Transportation Specialist for the City of San Ramon and a resident of Unincorporated Contra Costa County, I have experienced both the vantages and the disadvantages of our growing county. From using connectors from the Wavrut Creek BART station on a regular basis as I hunted jobs within the Bishop Ranch Area, to finding gaps within the service areas throughout unincorporated Contra Costa, l have been able to analyze possible improvements that would make County Connection a more vital part of the growing Tri-Valley. Furthermore, as a recent UC Berkeley graduate, I spent a great deal of time on various forms of transit; including BART, AC Transit and Tri-Delta Transit. Thus, I am able to compare and contrast the shortcomings in these transportation networks, as well as make recommendations from multiple viewpoints. As a transportation planner I have fust-hand experience with public/private interface, networking with multiple organizations and at presenting information to various committees. For example, I am involved in the City of San Ramon's Transportation Advisory Committee. Thus I understand what information is of high importance and the manner in which it must be presented to an advisory conunittee so that they may make informed recommendations to the Board. In the end, the CAC must reflect a variety of users, from various areas of the region_ I would be a vital part of this Connnittee because of my strong background in transportation planning, sound understanding of public transit needs, and personal experience as a customer. Please consider my application, for the CAC, I look forward to an exciting year filled with many new changes, improvements and increased networking.
