[Lekooks] Transportation Equity

[Gerflak at aol.com]

The LCUUC Green Sanctuary committee has been  collaborating since last 
spring with several state and local organizations,  including the Sierra Club, 
on a Transportation Equity project in  Waukesha  County in particular, and 
the State  of Wisconsin in  general. 
The following article is in the Sierra Club John Muir  Chapter 
October-December issue: 
 
We helped organize a Waukesha County Transportation  workshop in Waukesha 
on September  14, which was attended by over 80 people, including County 
Executive Paul Farrow  and several state, county, and local government 
representatives, employers, and  users and providers of public or subsidized 
transportation services. The purpose  of the workshop was to bring transportation 
users and providers together to  mutually understand what is needed, what the 
priorities are, and what we can do.  It was clear that the needs are there 
and that plans have been formulated  (by SEWRPAC, the South East Wisconsin  
Regional Planning Commission) to identify and meet the needs, but these  
recommendations have been largely ignored by our elected officials for various  
reasons. 
The next big event by our coalition will be a state  Transportation Equity 
Summit in  Milwaukee on December 3. This is  your opportunity to get in on 
the “ground floor” to act to learn about and get  actual change to happen. 
You are invited to attend the next Green Sanctuary  Committee meeting on 
Sunday October 9, or the next coalition planning meeting at  LCUUC on October 26 
from 9AM – 11AM to find out  how you can get involved.  
See Ray Grosch, Jim Hansen, or Gerry Flakas for more  information.
