In the fourth segment of our interview with Supervisor Zach Friend, Zach talks about the tremendous challenges we as a community face with our transportation. He talks about the need for Santa Cruz county to become a “self help” county when it comes to transportation. He says this is the only way that the county will be able to attract outside dollars (from the State of California and Federal government) for our much-needed transportation projects, such as widening Highway 1, Santa Cruz Metro, the Mar Vista Pedestrian Bride, and the Santa Cruz rail corridor.
