Less costly transit pass suggested for lower income Edmontonians

Globalnews.ca: "EDMONTON – The transit advisory board recommended Wednesday that a less expensive pass for the Edmonton Transit System (ETS) should be available to low income passengers.

If accepted by city council, the monthly pass would cost $35. That is the amount paid by people on AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped) for their monthly pass."

Open Streets Calgary joining forces 2014!

facebook event : "What could the community achieve if there was more cooperation between organizations? Through collaboration and facilitation we aim to raise awareness about all the various pedestrian, cycling, and other alternative transportation programs that are currently in action within this city. For example the 'Open Streets' Arusha initiative will only work if more community groups are involved and support our efforts.

So what does your organization do and how can we collaborate? How can we make our organizations even more effective this coming Summer!

We will also have a few speakers organized to get the event off to a positive start!

Tracey Braun from Calgary Car Share will be presenting!"
