PLEASE FORWARD TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED Friends -
I am alerting you to a public hearing on the TOWN of Madison budget happening next week. The reason this hearing is important is that the funding the Town puts in for Metro Transit services directly affects the services received by everyone who uses the Route 13 bus, including City of Madison residents. Portions of the Route 13 narrowly averted being cut recently because the County stepped in with last minute funding. That funding is unlikely to happen again, so the Town of Madison must make the decsion to fund Metro service. The Route 13 spends a great deal of time in the Town of Madison. Because of the lack of through roads in the area, the buses (and any motorized traffic) have to go through the Town of Madison in order to reach the City of Madison areas north of the Beltline between John Nolen and Park St. In order to be fair to all the other municipalities that receive Metro service to their areas, the Town of Madison must pay to have the bus go through it's territory at the same rate that Middleton, Verona, or other jurisdictions pay. Please speak at the Town of Madison budget hearing to make sure they fund Metro service. We all know the areas served by Route 13 are very transit dependent. Reliable bus service is vital to people in these areas. Please pass on this message, or another version, to others that might be interested or willing to testify. Thanks.
