Hello Southland Transit Supporters:
Have you ever wanted to know more about getting Container Trucks off the road and on to rail? Well, here is your chance to learn, listen and get some answers first hand from David J. Alba, Project Designer of the GRID Rail SuperDock and Terminal, who will discuss revolutionizing goods movement by transfering containers directly from ship to train, thus eliminating trucks on the docks. Alba will speak at our monthly Dinner Meeting on Tuesday, August 23. Our speaker may not answer every question, but you'll learn a lot about the latest developments in goods movement planning and other issues that prevent game changing technology. Other questions you may have that is under his umbrella will be answered. 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 6:46 p.m.
Alba will speak and answer questions until at least 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, August 23, 2011 meeting at Philippe the Original restaurant in Chinatown from 6:46 p.m. to 8:55 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 CAHSR, Amtrak, Metrolink and Metro and the 30/10 -- America Fast Forward Plan, as well as a review of actions to transit and state and urban rail service. Also, we will talk about other projects such as Expo, the Westside Extension, the Downtown Regional Connector, the Wilshire Busway, the Westside / SF Valley Rail Tunnel and the Crenshaw Line.
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, August 23. 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.

Thanks, Bart Reed
