Good News About Transit On Regional Planning Website, But...

Not at the website put up by SEWRPC - - the public, taxpayer-paid planning agency for the transit-deprived, highway-rich Milwaukee/SE Wisconsin region.

Nope - - you gotta look to the Chicago commission site for this valuable information, included in its always newsy weekly email update.

On February 23, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives leadership indicated it may revise its five-year transportation reauthorization proposal, the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act (AEIJA).

SEWRPC does not send out such weekly updates.

Doesn't have a "news" button.

Hasn't issued a topic newsletter for four months or a new publication in two months.

Remember this the next time SEWRPC demands to be taken seriously on transit issues, or complains about suggestions that its focus is highways over transit.
