Online Workshop Available

The Study team recently held a series of local and regional workshops to gather feedback on study activities and key policy questions. Public input will supplement technical analysis as the team refines the program scenarios and begins more detailed evaluation. 

The MAPS Study Team held public workshops in San Francisco and several regional locations beginning in July 2008.  To add your input to the Study, you may download the workshop presentation and then take our online workshop.
