UW-L Transportation Committee Meeting

The next meeting of the UW-L Transportation Committee is:
Wednesday, February 25, at 1:00 p.m. in Cartwright Center room 263.

This will be a longer meeting, going until 3:00 p.m., but you can come and go as you need to. Remember that we do not have official committee members so everyone is welcome to attend at all times, and we are not an officially recognized UW-L committee.

On the agenda for Feb. 25:

1:00 p.m. – Presentation by “Community Car” founder Sonya Newenhouse, who is working with the City of La Crosse on starting a pay-by-the-hour car-sharing program with cars at various locations in central La Crosse, including UW-La Crosse. For more information visit: http://www.communitycar.com/

2:00 p.m. – Presentation by Larry Kirch from the City of La Crosse, to discuss the Transit Study underway that is partly intended to increase student ridership on the La Crosse Municipal Transit Utility (MTU) and make the system more useful to students. One item up for discussion will be the creation of a circulator bus route that targets student neighborhoods and runs frequently enough that students will not need a transit map with a timetable.
