Hello Southland Transit Supporters:
Have you ever wanted to know about Metrolink from the top down? Why are some things done
and other things not done? We have the new Agency CEO to present his point on how he is
running the Authority. He has moved quickly in the month since he has arrived. He has
reorganized the organization, so there is a customer first focus. He has ordered diesel engines
be shut down rather than idling at terminals to save on fuel and cut down on particulate emissions.
What is next in his bag of projects? Oh, there are so many questions. And here is your chance
to learn, listen and get some answers. Our speaker John E. Fenton may not answer every question,
you'll learn a lot about the way Metrolink will be operating. Find out first hand, by joining us.
First @ 6:55 p.m. we will have introductions and go over some of the latest transit developments.
At 7:05 p.m, we will start the Metrolink program, so make a goal to be there at the start at 6:45 p.m.
John will speak and answer questions until 8:10 p.m. and then we will cover the business of other
transit activities in Southern CA.
This is your Open Invitation from The Transit Coalition to join us for our Tuesday, May 25, 2010 meeting
at Philippe the Original restaurant in China Town from 6:38 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. At this gathering, we will
discuss current transportation developments and present a recap of the other transit-related projects
underway throughout Southern California.
There will be other reports at the meeting such as Metrolink and Metro and the 30/10 Plan, as well as a
review of cuts to transit and state and urban rail service. Also, we will talk about Expo and the Farmdale
PUC hearing this coming Tuesday, June 1 and some other projects such as the Connector and Crenshaw.
To attend, go to our map, if you need directions. We generally gather downstairs by the cash register,
then retire to the meeting rooms upstairs. Do not be fooled by the signs that say the meeting rooms are
closed, as they don't apply to us. If you have trouble locating the meeting, call 818-367-1661.
Pass the word. If you or anyone is interested, get them there Tuesday, May 25. Also, note: RSVP.
If we know you are coming, we will look for you, so you don't stay lost from us. Note: If you want to
get the an e-mail meeting reminder directly, write and you can get on the list for future events.
To make reservations, write us. Subject: Dinner Reservation Just leave your first/last name, e-mail
and phone number. Please pass this e-mail along to anyone who might be interested in joining us.
Call if you have any questions.
Thanks, Bart Reed
