Citizens
for Efficient Mass Transit

Here is what we hope to accomplish:

• Demonstrate how light rail is affordable--how other cities have made light rail happen.
• Explain why only a system that combines the best features of both light rail and bus will provide the modern and efficient transit system.
• Save the taxpayers the burden of support for a busway network which even if it should succeed in attracting riders will fail because of its high operating and maintenance costs.
• Stop the use of rail corridors to build busways
