--APT Lunch April 11:  Hear Great Speakers on Transit Budgeting and Transit
Survey Results 

 

A lunch will be available for those who RSVP to Cathy Burghart at
405-232-4644 or cburghart at newviewoklahoma.org by noon Tuesday. The cost for
a boxed lunch is $8.00 and people are welcome to come and listen without
lunch. Urge a friend to attend the Alliance for Public Transportation (APT)
meeting with you at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF), 1000 N.
Broadway Ave. Oklahoma City, OK. 

 

Craig Freeman, the Finance Director for the City of Oklahoma City, will
speak to APT and transit friends on April 11 the matter of transit funding
in the context of the City budget, and so has also been asked to talk about
the dedicated funding issue and the fiscal challenges that the future holds.
Michael Scroggins of COTPA Marketing will present results from a
statistically valid survey done to understand what the general public in
central Oklahoma is thinking about transit, as well as what local bus riders
are desiring. As you may know, all over the country the fares paid by
transit passengers cover less than 20% of the cost of a typical trip.
Transit, like roads, highways, and sidewalks seems to work best when
subsidized. 

 

So, mark your calendar to be at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation
(OCCF) for the noon General Meeting Program. The program presentations
starts at 12:10, and the meeting will adjourn by 1:00 pm. 

 

Urge a friend to attend the Alliance for Public Transportation (APT) meeting
with you at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF), 1000 N. Broadway
Ave. Oklahoma City, OK.
