CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
As was reported late Thursday night on April 6, the California Senate and Assembly both reached an agreement on the transportation funding package contained in SB 1. It's being reported this legislation will be signed by the Governor sometime next week.
If you transport goods on the I-80 corridor, specifically operating EB and WB IE: Colfax/Nevada border please read the following information. A few CTA members brought to our attention issues associated with the many days that I-80 (specifically EB and WB IE: Colfax/Reno) was closed due to inclement weather conditions.

Golf Tournament -
Our Kern Unit wanted to take a minute to let you know how special this year’s "Kern Unit Golf Tournament" is going to be. Recently, our Kern Unit sponsored four local Kern County Make-A Wish Kids wishes totaling $22,000.00.
Why is this so special? Make-A-Wish Foundation provides wishes for kids with life threatening illnesses.
What’s the big deal? This special wish is a reward for the child and their family. A special moment after all they have been through. At this year’s golf tournament, we are making arrangements to have these wish families at our golf tournament so they can meet you and you can meet them.
Why is this important? I have found in my past experience with Make-A-Wish, when you connect the wish with the child who is going to receive it, it opens your heart and makes the connection between you and that child complete. This will be an experience to remember and be proud that your kind donations to our Kern Unit changed a family’s life. Thank you for your donations and we look forward to seeing you there for this special occasion. If you haven’t registered, please take a moment to do so now!!
