| Call and Ride Did you know South County has an active public transportation program? Last week the county announced a new application to make it even easier to use. I have tested it out and it makes using the system very easy. |

| Region 9 Planning Hub The County has begun the planning process for Region 9 of Plan2040. Region 9 of the plan is located entirely in South County and runs along the South River to the Bay and all the way down to North Beach. You can see a map of the different regions and find more information at the link provided above. The most important thing to know about this process right now is that you can submit comments for what you want to see in your community from now until June 30th. We will be talking more about this process moving forward. |
