Citizen's Transportation Committee Annual Meeting on 11/26

November 16, 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

The Citizens Transportation Committee of Saratoga County will be hosting our annual presentation on a yearlong collection of research, on the subject of public transportation that is presently available to our communities in Saratoga County . As well, we will share with you our new interactive web site that will promote many forms of transportation to include trails.

This event will be held on November 26, 2007 at the Saratoga Springs Public Library in the Community Room at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

As we continue to watch the price of gas escalate, the baby boomer generation grow, and the changes in our environment, CTC of Saratoga County, recognizes the importance of the increasing need for public transportation and that transportation businesses need the support of their local communities and true leadership to be of assistance.

Last week, I overheard a concerned woman say she had to pay $46.00 to fill her car with gas, and I heard another man say he had to quit his job because he could no longer afford to commute. These circumstances will have a direct impact on our economy. The need for solutions to be prepared for situations such as these is eminent.

As leaders in business, government, and communities around the State, please recognize this problem and invest in our economic and environmental future by becoming part of the solution, our futures depend on it. I will look forward to seeing you on November 26th, thank you.

Sincerely,

Cheryl L. Keyrouze, City Supervisor
