Kern Transportation Foundation

Kern Transportation Foundation Transportation in Kern County Over the years, Kern County residents have been fortunate. But as Kern County continues to grow, the scene is changing.

We live in pleasant communities and enjoy a superior quality of life, isolated from many of the traffic-related problems plaguing our larger neighbors to the north and south. In the period from 1970 to 1990, the county's population grew 65 percent. And, we're not slowing down. By the year 2010, Kern County's population is projected to grow an additional 91 percent! During the 1980s, Bakersfield wa

s the sixth fastest-growing city in the nation. While growth offers residents a healthy economy, it also increases traffic congestion. The signs are already here - clogged intersections, slowing traffic on rural highways and a cloud of air pollution on the horizon. It's time to take action. Many Kern County residents are recognizing the need to look ahead and embrace the inevitable changes. That means designing neighborhoods that will accommodate growth, looking at alternative modes of transportation and finding ways to fund the completion of our transportation system.
