TRI-VALLEY CITIES VALUES STATEMENT <br /> The Tri-Valley Cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and the Town of <br /> Danville value regional leadership, innovation, collaboration, and problem solving to <br /> maintain and improve the quality of life for Tri-Valley residents and provide a vibrant climate <br /> for businesses, and enable continued opportunities for public and private investment within <br /> the region. <br /> Each City and Town provides a unique perspective on how to meet the needs of their <br /> residents and businesses. The Cities and Town agree to respect the individuality of each <br /> community and are committed to open and honest communication with a goal of building <br /> consensus and a united approach to advocacy for solutions that will serve the residents and <br /> businesses of the Tri-Valley. <br /> TRI-VALLEY CITIES LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK <br /> The Tri-Valley Cities Legislative Framework seeks to inform all levels of governmental <br /> interaction (e.g., federal, state, regional, local) regarding legislation, policies, and programs <br /> that have a direct impact on the region. The TVC has defined Legislative Focus Areas <br /> which have an overarching objective to retain and promote local control and decision- <br /> making as it relates to the implementation of laws and regulations and to have the ability to <br /> integrate them in a manner that meets the unique needs of each community. The TVC will <br /> advocate together to achieve outcomes benefiting the region in each of these Focus Areas. <br /> Transportation <br /> Residents of the Tri-Valley region are subject to some of the heaviest commutes in the Bay <br /> Area and are impacted by the heavy flow of traffic along the region's freeways, which often <br /> spills over onto the local surface streets as commuters pursue alternatives to their commute <br /> through the Tri-Valley. A key objective of the region is to reduce congestion on the regions <br /> freeways and to increase mobility of goods and people through the Tri-Valley with <br /> continued financial investment in transportation infrastructure: developing alternative modes <br /> of transportation, modernization of transportation corridors, and creation, modernization, <br /> and expansion of rail systems. <br /> Climate and the Environment <br /> The TVC seeks to work collaboratively with federal, state and regional partners to address <br /> the new landscape of year-round wildfires, public safety power shut offs, water quality <br /> (including PFAS/PFOS contaminants) and supply issues as well as waste and recycling <br /> mandates. The TVC will advocate for increasing financial and technical support in these <br /> areas as well as an investment in key infrastructure at all levels of government. <br /> 11 <br />
