Our very first Ride SMRT to Viroqua was a success! Six of us joined La Crosse Area Planning Committee transportation planner, Jackie Eastwood for a day trip to the land of quirky stores and local food. Participants visited Driftless Books and Music, the Viroqua Public Market, and the Vernon County Museum. One of our group was able to try out the Viroqua Taxi Service, too. In addition to interesting shops and exhibits, we also had wonderful, locally grown food.
During our visit we were able to talk up the SMRT program with local merchants, letting them kow how much we appreciate the service. What if there were a Saturday SMRT bus that stopped at shopping and event locations, both in Viroqua and in La Crosse? We were also able to connect with some commuters during the return trip.
Our next event will be an open house at the MTU Transit Center on World Car-Free Day, September 22. Stay tuned for more details and email MTUFriends@hotmail.com if you'd like to help out.
