We’ve made it easy with ten ready-to-send email templates

Caltrans needs to rethink its destructive and expensive plans to replace the Albion River Bridge. If you agree, let Caltrans know!

You can provide public comment by sending an email before September 9.

To make it as easy as possible, we’ve created ten email templates. Each template addresses a different aspect of the proposed replacement — the biological impact, the impact on traffic and business, the community impact on the loss of a historic bridge, and so on. It just takes one click to create a pre-filled email, ready to customize if you like, and then send.

Here’s how to use the templates

1. From the list below, choose the issue you want to comment on.
   Your device should switch to your email program, with the email all ready to send. (If it doesn’t, see the “Having trouble?” section below.)
2. Consider customizing the email to add a personal note: tell Caltrans how you use the bridge, what you think about it, how long you’ve lived in the area, and so on.
3. Add your name and, optionally, your address to the end of the email
4. Choose your email program’s Send option to send the email to Caltrans.
