Transit Equity Day Survey and Election Resources

The La Crosse Area Transit Advocates has published results of its Mayoral Candidate Survey on Local and Regional Public Transportation. Only four of ten candidates have responded, but the survey will be updated as more candidates respond. Please read the survey and encourage candidates you know to participate. Talk to mayoral and city council candidates about public transportation and its importance in our community! 

 

Several local groups, including OWR and Citizen Action Driftless Co-op, are working on getting out the vote and supporting local council candidates. If you can volunteer, please do. In the meantime, now is the time to get your voting plan together!
