[Transit Coalition]

Hello Southland Transit Supporters:

The Transit Coalition will host its monthly Dinner Meeting on Tuesday, February 22, featuring Arthur T. Leahy, Chief Executive Officer of Metro, who will update attendees on what has been happening at Metro.

Here is your chance to learn, listen and get some answers. Our speaker may not answer every question, but you'll learn a lot about the way Metro is changing. 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 program, so make a goal to be there at the start at 6:45 p.m.

Art will speak and answer questions until 8:10 p.m. and then we will cover the business of other transit activities in Southern California.

This is your Open Invitation from The Transit Coalition to join us for our Tuesday, February 22, 2010 meeting at Philippe the Original restaurant in Chinatown from 6:45 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 Amtrak and Metrolink 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 some other projects such as the Downtown Connector and Crenshaw.

To attend, see 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, February 22. 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.

Many questions get asked and answered on this discussion board. But ultimately, most of the information comes from the Agency Executives. Transit Coalition has the relationships with the CEO's to allow you to see them in person and to ask your questions directly to the policy makers, rather than second hand speculation. Please join us this Tuesday to hear from Art Leahy directly. If you can't attend, we will eventually put his talk up on our webpage and link it in our weekly eNewsletter.

Also, please remember that Transit Coalition is a nonprofit public charity and we depend upon your gifts to run this discussion board and to produce all the services that we are known for. Please take a minute and chip in some money. $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or more will help us continue our vital work. Thank you in advance!
