The Sustainable City Year Program is a university-community connection that allow for collaboration on community needs (as determined by city management). An ongoing partnership that began in 2021 and will stretch through 2025 is The Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC). The focus with TAMC is related to Safe Routes to School (SRTS) encouraging safer and more appealing streets to encourage more biking and walking, and fewer cars transporting students to school.
