The Ventura County Transportation Committee (TTC) held an online meeting on April 17, 2024, to address various community concerns and discuss ongoing initiatives. The meeting aimed to engage residents and gather feedback on transportation issues affecting the area.
The session began with a focus on safety concerns for teen and younger drivers. A participant raised the issue, urging elected officials and law enforcement to consider immediate solutions to enhance safety for this demographic. The suggestion was noted for follow-up discussions with the California Highway Patrol (CHP).
As the meeting progressed, the committee allocated time for residents to voice their questions and comments.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to consolidate unanswered questions and provide responses to the community, reinforcing the TTC's dedication to transparency and collaboration with residents. Overall, the meeting served as a platform for addressing pressing transportation concerns while fostering community involvement in local governance.
