January 31 - Transit Equity & Climate Action

Join the Coulee Region Sierra Club in a conversation about

Transit Equity and Climate Action

with guest Susan Gaeddert
Community Programs Director, 1000 Friends of Wisconsin

Tuesday, January 31 at 7 p.m.
- Online (Zoom) -

Access to life should not depend on your age, location, health, wealth, or ability to drive. Ensuring that everyone has fair and equal access, through affordable, accessible, sustainable public transportation, is transit equity. At the same time, reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions will require a rapid switch from our current fossil fuel-powered private vehicle system to clean, renewably-powered public transportation.

With our guest, Susan Gaeddert, of 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, we’ll look at the intersection of transit equity and climate action and why it’s important. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions and answers. This program is free and open to all.
