Detours & Missed Opportunities

= NO BUS SERVICE ON MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 25. =

AND ...

The MTU #4 will detour AWAY from the UWL campus during the first weekend in Jjnd because of the state track meet. 

"At the beginning of service on Friday June 05 to the end of service on Saturday June 06 we will be using the following detour due to the State Track Meet being held on the UWL Campus.

"Route 4 Losey Blvd will use West Ave to Main St and Main St to 19th St to resume the route. Route #4 Downtown will use Main St to 13th St and 13th St to Badger St to resume the route."

What if we had a transit-forward mindset and saw public transit as a way to help move visitors and reduce congestion? What if promotion and information for participants and viewers included advice and encouragement to use the bus as a great way to access this event without clogging the streets?

We have many models now from the Olympics to state fairs to other sports events.

Why don't the city, UWL, and MTU get together to provide event passes that include weekend transit passes? When will we break free from car-centrism?
