On Losing an Advocate for Transit
March 28th, 2008We have an alignment of the stars above Guelph when it comes to public transit.
- This City council is one of the most transit friendly councils we have seen in a great many years.
- Both the federal and provincial governments see public transit as a top priority.
- The general population is beginning to see alternative transportation as one possible solution to the problem of global warming
- The City of Guelph has reached a critical point where old transit solutions are not serving the needs of our community.
It was under these conditions that the transit ad-hoc committee was formed “To provide input on neighbourhood and community transit issues, improving system capacity, ridership growth, service quality and customer satisfaction” As an outspoken critic in support of improving our current transit services I was asked to chair the committee.
