Our meeting ... next steps

Five of us met at the library and talked about ideas for improving ridership on public transit. I talked to the public transportation subcommittee of the Sustainable La Crosse commission about getting together with LATA members and public transit riders as they consider priorities for this year. I am also hoping to set up a March meeting with Jim Krueger, interim director of the MTU. As soon as something is set up I will contact you.

In the meantime, at today's Clean Cars Campaign press conference, Mayor Kabat said that the city is looking at buying some ELECTRIC buses and adding to its fleet of hybrids. That's good news.

And here's a great article about YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK trying to lure Chicagoans to Wisconsin by dissing their wonderful public transportation system. Not going so well. What could that $1 million plus ad budget have done to improve public transit here?

Chicagoans to Wisconsin: Thanks but no thanks. We'll take the train.
