Have you ever been frustrated about our local bus service? Have you ever had an idea about how to improve our bus service? Have you ever wished we had light rail or express bus routes?
The Milwaukee Transit Riders Union will be holding a workshoop this Saturday, called A Sustainable Future for Transportation in Milwaukee: Brainstorming for Better Transit. At this workshop, we will be developing a vision for a 21st Century transit system in the Milwaukee region as well as an action plan to get it accomplished.
It is up to bus riders to move transit in the region forward. In order to move the region forward, we, as bus riders, have to make our needs heard. Our transit system has been going backwards as steep service cuts have been made year after year, and at the same time, gas prices, pollution, poverty and segregation have increased. This workshop is about us reversing this trend.
The workshop will be held on Saturday April 11, 2011 at 1:00pm at
