Fascinating tidbit came into my email box this afternoon. robbie
At a Special Meeting on Monday, July 21, at 10 a.m., the Milwaukee County Board's Committee on Transportation, Public Works and Transit will consider a resolution to reduce bus fares, certain passes and tickets, and paratransit for the month of August ; Item 2. A resolution by Supervisor Borkowski, authorizing and directing the Managing Director of the Milwaukee County Transit System to reduce Adult Cash fares to $1.00, Half Fare to $.50, Adult Passes to $8.50, Half Fare Tickets to $5.00, Premium Cash Fare to $1.75, Premium Tickets $14.50 and Paratransit to $2.00 for the month of August 2008 to provide relief from high gas prices and encourage transit usage within Milwaukee County. (Recommendation: Refer to County Board staff for a detailed analysis of the effects this will have on the overall County Budget.) www.county.milwaukee.gov/ImageLibrary/Groups/cntySupervisors/cntybrdstandingcommittees/TPWT/2008/TPWTa072108special.pdf This proposal could encourage riders to increase their frequency and introduce new people to the bus while reducing car trips and pollution. Imagine investing $1 to ride our great Route 15 and other routes in August!
