| My message is simple: I will focus on nuts and bolts, bread and butter matters. Clean buses with courteous drivers. Expanded use of satellite GPS technology to improve on-time bus service. Preserve neighborhood bus lines, as well as main lines. I am an urban planner by profession, a Councilman, and, I am a bus rider. I ask for your vote. |

| Working with bus transit advocates, Daysog got City Hall to re-stripe red curbs throughout Alameda to accommodate AC Transit's modern "low floor" buses Daysog worked with a group called Alamedans for Responsible Transit Shelters, to get City Hall to accept elegant bus shelters paid for by this group and to install these elegant AC bus shelters, which are free of annoying billboard advertisements Daysog worked with transit activists to get City Council to pass Alameda's "Transit First Resolution," which laid the policy groundwork that led to the designation of Park and Webster Streets as Alameda's "transit hubs", where now a number of raised platforms with elegant shelters are in place to facilitate bus service In the formative stages of its existence, Daysog gave advice and guidance to a fledgling organization called BikeAlameda, and soon thereafter he worked with this group in having Council adopt the Bike Master Plan, as well as to make sure that bike paths were included in the "Cross Airport Roadway", now called the Ron Cowan Parkway In 2003, Daysog lobbied AC Transit officials in an attempt to save various bus routes that were at risk of elimination and or consolidation, as the District searched for ways to close budget gaps for 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. Daysog spoke at the special meeting at the Scottish Rites Building along Oakland's Lake Merritt. While Alameda lost the 35X, W2 and 49 routes, other lines were saved altogether or consolidatedated with other lines Daysog co-founded a community organization called "Pedestrian Friendly Alameda", in an effort that continues to this day to make Alameda a safe place for people, especially youths and seniors, to walk. Toward that end, he worked with Public Works Department to create "Traffic Calming Guidelines", which provides a framework that simplies and facilitates placement of signage and other traffic safety measures around local schools, parks and areas where seniors congregate. Before creation of "Traffic Calming Guidelines," City Council depended on guidelines devised by traffic engineers in Sacramento Daysog helped plan Bike Alameda's first "Bike to Work Day", as well as Pedestrian Friendly Alameda's first "Walk and Roll to School Day," both of which he continues to participate in. |
