CART Begins 2012 with New Faces and New Resolve

CART has undergone some significant changes in the last few months of 2011 and will start the new year with a new President, and a new Attorney representing us on the Bridges Project issues.

Ron Schneider, who had been CART's president for several years, resigned in November, and David Coyte was elected to replace him at the December board meeting.  Ron is retired from Kentucky government where he worked in the Division of Air Quality and for the Transportation Cabinet.

He oversaw a review of CART's bylaws and pushed for a more disciplined CART presence.  Ron still serves as the Kentucky Representative to the National Association of Rail Passengers and we look forward to working with him in that capacity.   

Important Hearing on Regional Air Quality: Feb.3

The Kentucky Division for Air Quality will conduct a public hearing on Feb. 3, 2012 at 10 a.m. ET in the conference room of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District, 850 Barret Ave., Louisville, Ky. 

This hearing is being held to receive comments on a proposed State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision to redesignate the Kentucky portion of the Louisville, Kentucky-Indiana area from nonattainment to attainment for the annual PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard to address sections 107 and 175A of the Clean Air Act (CAA).  If no request for a public hearing is received, the hearing will be cancelled.

Further information can be obtained by calling Leslie Eggen at the number below or email at lesliem.eggen@ky.gov.
