Need new Urban Design plan to better connect all parts of our city. Partner with schools and universities. As fuel prices rise, more and more people will find these services to be essential. It is important for the MAT to take the lead in these efforts with cooperation from the City government. The greatest need in public transportation is funding.
Public transportation is essential for many of our citizens and to the well being of our economy.
It needs to be affordable, accessible, and timely. We must balance the needs of local businesses with those of the driving public. The plan was selected as the best alternative by a consensus of all the stakeholders. The time to act is now, or risk loss of federal funds before costs again dramatically escalate and congestion worsens. We need to address the current congestion problem while addressing the concerns of local businesses.
