Free Bus Ride Field Training:  5:10 pm on December 9

The Alliance for Public Transportation (APT) is conducting field training
and its volunteers will accompany people on Tuesday December 9 to learn how
to catch, ride, and alight from METRO Transit buses. About a half dozen came
last time and about that many already plan to come this time. There will be
plenty of room!  

It's free and just one 75 minute training session should be enough to help
people learn how to hail a bus, transfer to another bus route, learn to read
the paper bus route schedules, park-and-ride, visit the Downtown Transit
Center (DTC), and more.  

Learners will start in the Walgreen's parking lot west of the Gold Dome at
NW 23rd and Classen by 5:10 in Oklahoma City to catch the Route 5 bus. They
should look for an APT volunteer holding an umbrella. All this plus the APT
volunteers will tell the trainees useful facts about transit, about the APT,
concerning transit's need for dedicated local funding, and answer questions.
The sessions in 2009 will be announced after the holidays, with second
Tuesdays being the likely pattern.  

ABOVE ALL, LET YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES KNOW!! 

 

APT General Membership Meeting, February 19 2009  

The APT partners had a great meeting on Thursday, November 13 at Shepherd
Mall (NW 23rd and Villa) at 4:00 pm! They learned of the 501c3 application
being submitted to the IRS, development of an unbiased "secret shopper"
program of an APT cadre of bus riders, the ongoing bus ride field training,
website needs, and they had many questions for Chair Dean Jackson. The high
turnout of partners also heard about the Downtown Transit Study now underway
and about the upcoming Regional Transit Dialogue for Central Oklahoma. For
February 19, the place and time are TBA but please make a New Years transit
Resolution and mark your calendar!
