Smoggy Air = Free Bus Rides

Here's one region cleverly utilizing its transit to tamp down hazardous, polluting emissions on dirty air days.

If we had creative people running our transit systems, or succeeding in expanding them along the I-94 corridor instead of adding more lanes and air pollution right there in a known bad air zone, we could be doing the same useful things linking transit to air quality right here in Wisconsin.

Key word there: "If."

Thanks to Downtown UWM advocate Dave Reid.

They used to have that in Milwaukee, a few years ago. But if I recall correctly they ended it because they felt it was too expensive. Like, what, breathing more bad air comes cheap?
