Coulee Region Transportation - please participate!

There are important transportation related events coming up. We hope Sierra Club members will be able to attend and advocate for the environment and for fairness in planning and funding.

IF YOU DIDN'T (DON'T) OWN A CAR, HOW WOULD YOU (DO YOU) GET TO WORK/SCHOOL/EVENTS/APPOINTMENTS?

The Wisconsin Counties Association is hosting a night of Transportation Town Halls on Thursday, September 29 at 7 p.m. in each Wisconsin county. These have not been well publicized but they will provide an opportunity for citizens to advocate for better alternative transportation options. What with lack of publicity and inaccessible location! you could get the impression that they'd prefer few people attend. If you are available, though, the La Crosse event is at the La Crosse County Highway Shop, 301 Carlson Road, West Salem WI 54669. Visit the site to learn where your county's event will be held.

The La Crosse Tribune reports today that the La Crosse Area Planning Committee will start exploring non-road transportation plans! Please encourage your ciy and county representatives and officials to 1) work to encourage more transit, car pools, park and ride, bike/ped solutions to area transportation issues and 2) attend the Sierra Club's October 5 event:
