AC TRANSIT HOSTS REDISTRICTING VIRTUAL MEETINGS THIS WEEK

AC Transit is seeking the public’s input on redrawing the boundary lines of all five wards

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) reminds our East Bay communities that virtual public workshops are underway to gather our riding public’s insight on redistricting; the process of adjusting our ward boundaries based on the latest census data.

Every ten years, federal and state laws require our transit district to redraw the boundary lines of our five wards to equalize the population and ensure fair representation. AC Transit redistricting includes considerations of Communities of Interest that are contiguous populations, which share common social and economic characteristics such as income levels, educational background, housing patterns, cultural and language characteristics, employment and economic patterns, health, and environmental conditions

This week’s virtual redistricting workshops will be held:

Spanish and Chinese language interpreters will be available at the workshops.
