We all know that public transit has been in the news.  More than ever, we have a climate that will support public transit if we can build a base and momentum.  Thanks to you long time, committed advocates, CART has successfully raised awareness of the need for increased funding for transit. Now is the time for all of you to take you energies and recruit others.

CART, along with the Metropolitan Housing Coalition, Kentuckyians for the Commonwealth, AARP, the Center for Accessible Living, and other friends, is developing education and advocacy tools for you to use.  We want to have people and organizations show their commitment to increased public transit by signing onto some basic principles.  If you are interested in this phase, let us know.

This does redirect our energy from the petition for the August 16 deadline to add a transit funding initiative to the 2008 ballot.  But we know that educating the public and growing the base of supporters is the most important way to use our time.
