US 101/ SR 92 Direct Connector Project wants to hear from public

Media Contact: Randol White, 415-515-7624 

A pair of meetings are being held to hear thoughts about which alternatives and environmental impacts should be studied as part of the US 101/SR 92 Direct Connector project. 

The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA), in partnership with the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG), proposes to create a dedicated managed lane connection between Highway 92 and the existing express lanes on 101. If built, the project will improve connectivity to reduce travel times and encourage carpooling and the use of shuttles and buses through the 101/92 interchange. 

Attendees are invited to ask questions about the proposal at two upcoming events:  

 

Questions and discussion at the meetings are not considered official scoping comments. To be included in the official record, all scoping comments must be submitted by mail, email, or online.
