Governor Doyle has included retaining a Regional Transit Authority (RTA) in his proposed budget. That proposal is now in the hands of the Joint Committee on Finance. Retaining an RTA for Southeastern Wisconsin means acquiring a dedicating funding source for transit (which includes commuter rail). An RTA would create urgently needed funding to save our BUS and bring millions of Federal dollars to the Racine community to improve transit connections, implement KRM commuter rail, and spur economic growth in Racine.

Show the governor your support of his proposal and give him a warm welcome tomorrow.
