Presentation & Discussion
Monday, Sept. 17th, 6:00 p.m.
Madison Central Library

Madison Area Bus Advocates is holding its general annual meeting on September 17, 2007, 6:00-8:00 p.m. in Room 202 of the Madison Central Public Library.

The focus of the meeting will be bus rapid transit and/or express bus service. There will be a short video and oral presentation, with ample time for discussion afterward. The meeting is open to everyone.

Madison Area Bus Advocates feels that bus rapid transit on arterial streets in Madison has the potential for rapid or semi-rapid urban transit that could be developed in a matter of a few years and could be cost effective. Fast, limited-stop service has the potential to stimulate economic development along transit corridors while reducing traffic congestion and facilitating non-auto travel.
