Mass Transit

30/10 will gut the bus system, the backbone of public transit in LA. Read the BRU's letter to congress memebers asking them for a no vote to reject Mayor Villaraigosa's 30/10 initiative.

Tri-State Transportation Campaign is a non-profit policy and advocacy organization that works for a more balanced and sustainable transportation network in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut metro region.

Durante los últimos 4 semanas he organizado para educar y recaudar apoyo sobre el proyecto de carril solo para autobuses de la calle Wilshire.

For the past two weeks Bus Riders Union members and volunteers have
been going out on the 720 buses and asking people to write comments of

lanes such a hard sell in cities run by motorists who want to do the
green thing but still form their impressions from behind the wheel."

The draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Wilshire Bus-Only Lanes Project has been released for public review! Over the next month until July 26th, MTA will be taking in public comments online and via mail to be included in the official Environmental Impact Report.
