Wisconsin: The Sierra Club is offering "Move Wisconsin Alliance Transportation Presentations"

[Scuba]

From my email ....

Wisconsin faces big transportation challenges in funding local roads, highways, transit and other community mobility options. Join us for presentations that explore the issues and offers thoughts on how we can better balance Wisconsin’s transportation needs.

A comprehensive, well-maintained transportation system is vital to our state and our local economies.To thrive and grow, cities like Eau Claire and the surrounding communities need good local roads, efficient transit service, and safe access for pedestrians and bicyclists. But state funding for local transportation needs has been declining for years and has resulted in deteriorating infrastructure, inadequate maintenance, and transit service cuts in many Wisconsin communities.The Move Wisconsin presentation will explore the challenges we face, delve into funding issues, and offer thoughts on better balancing Wisconsin’s transportation priorities. Come join us for a lively discussion about Wisconsin’s transportation future.
