Next steps for public transportation

Quick! In 2009 which city was listed as having the best transportation system in the country? Survey says: Nope, not NYC! Denver. At least according to US News and World Report. Last night at our monthly Eco- Salon we played a Madison-ized version of Family Feud, dubbed Eco-Feud, on public transit. Fred Bartol, founder of Dane Alliance for Rational Transportation, and Alderwoman Satya Rhodes-Conway spoke and the message came through loud and clear. If we want a modern and convenient public transportation system one day we need to speak up. A great opportunity to be heard by the city of Madison will be at the Mayor's and City Council's Community Budget Conversations. Especially the one on infrastructure on August 16th at 7:00 pm at the Senior Center. See you there! - Kristen
